Performance measures for hierarchical organizations: Frontier analysis as a decision support tool
We extend the standard frontier efficiency models (data envelopment analysis [DEA] and stochastic frontier analysis [SFA]) by allowing the "decision making units" (DMUs) whose performances are assessed to consist of two different levels within hierarchical organizations. Generally, the lower level unit is responsible for "operations;" while higher level units are assumed to make "strategic" decisions. Our primary contribution in this paper is thus to extend the use of frontier efficiency models to assess each level performance with relevant technical and allocative inefficiency measures. We illustrate our approach using DEA applied to data from a sample of 1,585 branches of a major French bank. A second contribution of the paper is to explicitly relate the efficiency to differences in the operating environments and the sizes of the bank branches. We believe that the simple, easy to implement method we introduce can serve as a valuable component of a "balanced score card" approach to benchmarking performance within hierarchical settings such as a banking network.Download Info

Aura Cacia Purify Essential Oil Blend -- 0.5 fl oz
Love this product
Not all noses are created equal, I love the smell of this. I use it in a diffuser and add a few drops to the liquid fabric softener, our clothes smell so good. People comment all the time on how I smell like they just walked into a spa, I find that it puts them in a good mood!
September 27, 2013
unexpected but very nice blend- I am re-ordering
I wasn't sure about this blend initially- it is not a combination of oils I had ever tried before and didn't knock me over the head with how much I liked the smell, however, it has grown on me. Now I use it in the bath and I am coming back to order more. In combination with the mint, I find the sage is a clean, decongesting scent, warmed and enriched by the patchouli- it is an oil blend I find myself going back to again and again.
February 16, 2013
smells like toilet bowl cleaner
Aura Cacia is a decent brand; I use several of their oils. This particular smell is SO nasty. It smells, honestly, like toilet bowl cleaner. The smell is NOT pleasant at all. I put it in my diffuser, and that was enough to make me cringe. It definitely does not smell like an 'essential oil'. I had to click on one star to submit the review. I would not even give it one star.

Love the scent
Makes my home smell fantastic.

Local filmmaker chronicles fury of recent storms to hit NJ
woodland park – Local resident David Simonetti currently has his sights set on making a documentary on a storm system that will not soon be forgotten.
The award-winning filmmaker will chronicle the hurricanes that have hit the northern New Jersey region in the past few years, particularly that of Hurricane Sandy and the devastation it specifically left on the Passaic County region.
"I have a lot of footage from the last couple of storms," said Simonetti, who runs his own production company, Forgotten Films. "I plan to focus in on Sandy. I originally wanted to also include the damaging effect it had on the Jersey Shore but it remains very challenging to access those areas there. I decided to focus on the surrounding areas up here, where people experienced their share of hardship."
Originally from Paterson, Simonetti attended John F. Kennedy High School. He received his bachelor's degree in communications and media studies from Rowan University. He taught at the Paterson Public School District, Belleville High School, and is currently a teacher at Pequannock Township High School, teaching television and film production.
Simonetti's "Fury's Wrath," a 10-minute long short film documentary, will also have interviews with town officials.
"Living in the borough, I was very impressed with how Mayor Keith Kazmark and his team were very visible throughout the whole ordeal and showed good leadership," he explained. "So I reached out to him for an interview and he was very receptive to it. We filmed him and he was great. He gave us a lot of information. My part now is to do all the homework and go through editing all the visuals. This project has become bigger than I thought."
Simonetti typically enlists students and former students to work on his film projects. On Fury's Wrath, his cameraman was Mike Mee, a graduate of Pequannock Township High School.
"This is my fourth film using Mike and he is great," added Simonetti. "He's now a student at Montclair State. I've used several students of mine for talent and production because we've always had a good talent base here at the high school. I started my production company several years ago and have produced many short films since."
Some of the short films Simonetti produced in recent years are "Bad Guys Forever," "Last Tango at Open House," "Beautiful Dreamer," "Silk City" and "A School Story." Many of them have garnered acclaim at various film festivals in the tri-state area. He won a Costello Award for first place in the best independent category at the 2009 Passaic County Film Festival for "A School Story." "Silk City" was spotlighted at the Downbeach Film Festival in Atlantic City in 2011 and recently at the Cape May Film Festival. "Last Tango at Open House" was accepted to the official selection at the Hoboken Film Festival.
"'Bad Guys Forever,' which is a thriller, was shot entirely on Garret Mountain in Rifle Camp Park," he said. "I usually like to shoot locally because there are some many interesting sights right here in the northern New Jersey area."

Personalize Your Gift WrapGive your gifts a personal touch this season with custom-designed wrapping paper inspired by Martha Stewart.
Abstract Wrapping PaperA roll of kraft paper goes a long way. Create your own Jackson Pollack–inspired paper for the art lover in your life.
Cut your roll of paper into pieces that will cover the gift at hand. Dip your paintbrush into a container of paint. Then, swing your paintbrush over the paper to let the paint drip onto the paper. Lift up your paper so it's no longer horizontal on the table and allow the drips to run. Drip with another color if desired, and let that paint run. When you're finished, set the paper aside to dry before wrapping. Related Resources

Rate This RecipeOne of my favorite recipes! I doubled the cream and wine amounts, plus I added a teaspoon of parsley, tyme, and basil. I added a 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. It turned out great!
This is a wonderful sauce - great flavor - I would thicken it a little with a roux the next time as it was a little thinner than I would have preferred. But the flavor was so rich - we served it with wild rice on the side and every drop of the sauce went! I also would think about making more sauce - we made it with 4 chops for 4 people and it was barely enough sauce so I might think about doubling it next time around, it was so good! Added note: since my initial review, I decided to retry with sherry instead of white wine. wow! a really winner there too! and try it with chicken as well!! you just can't go wrong with this. you might also try adding the mushrooms with the white wine and chops - they take on the wine flavor and are even more yummy. and i always double the sauce so there is no fighting at the table :)
Josie Ann
This meal was so easy! I replaced the white wine with apple cider and the sauce was to simply die for!This will easily become a regular in our house now!

The Silence Speaks For Itself
There's an oil well down by Johnson's Road
Where we'd go to be alone
I never thought I'd go there by myself
I stood there calling out your name
No one answered just the same
The silence speaks for itself
Well, I've been high and I've been low
And I've walked through the fires of hell
Are you coming back, Lord, I don't know
I guess the silence speaks for itself
The last time you talked to me
I did all the talkin', now I see
You were telling me there was someone else
What I'd give to hear your voice
But I'm not given any choice
'Cause the silence speaks for itself
Chorus (Twice)
I guess the silence.....

A new stage added to compiler. It is called normalization and is responsible for generated code redundancy elimination.
Code redundancy is inherent to "everythin is an object" approach, so the normalization is essential to o42a.
Normalization techniques will evolve over time. In this release the object inlining technique implemented. It is able to convert an object construction expression into executable code without object data structure construction (and extra memory allocation). Constructed object can be inlined, when it is known, that object is only used to calculate it's value and the object type can be predicted at compile time.
For example, the following statement:
1 | = a + b |
involves three objects: two numeric operands and their sum object. But this statement is only used to construct the sum of two numbers. Normalizer is able to determine that. It will convert the sum object construction and access to it's value to just summing of two numbers. Operands are subjects to normalization also, so they can be inlined too. So, the inlining of compound expressions is also possible.
Normalization leads to significant decrease in size of generated executables. The test suite executable size decreased by almost 30%, while "Hello, World!" - by 50%.
object is no longer exposed as a pseudo-field of the root. Access to
is always static now, even from within root or it's descendants.
object still can be addressed with $$void
object is no longer a field of root. Access to false
is always
static now, even from root or it's descendants. False
object still can be
addressed with $$false
expression.Two new command-line options added to o42ac
(0/1, enabled by default) - this option controls whether
compiler should track the uses of objects and other program model entities.
With this disabled, the executable will contain all objects from root,
imported modules and program module, and will take the most conservative (and
slowest) code generation decisions. It's meaningless to disable this option
for something but compiler debugging.-normalize
(0/1, enabled by default) - this option controls the
normalization. Again, it's meaningless to disable this option for something
but compiler debugging.

I just dont get how this girl is famous? She has a good body, I'll give her that, but her face is awful! Why is anyone still reporting on this pathetic duo?

Well...they're nothing shockingly different for her. I thought that in pic 5 her eyes looked crooked or off or something. They really should have picked a better photo. The mouth open thing is funny though, lol. Wonder why she does that. Hasn't anyone told her it looks strange when you do it ALL the time?

This page is all about understanding proofs. First of all, a proof is a series of sequential steps of justified conclusions. The conclusions are justified by either a definition, a postulate or a previously proved theorem.
In a proof the first thing you see (other than the name of the theorem) is the given. The given is the information that you have to start with. This usually includes a picture of a figure. Often it is something like "a b with transversal t." From there, you must figure out what information applies in terms of applicable definitions, postulates, and previously proved theorems.
Sometimes teachers will ask you to include what you are trying to prove under the given. I've left that step out on all of my proofs, as it is unnecessary. If you really want to know what is going to be proved, read the theorem listed at the top of that proof's page.
In the actual proof itself, the information is divided into two categories: Statements/Conclusion and Justifications. Since a proof is written like a table, the columns are usually given these labels. While the most common way to write a proof is to have the categories divided between two columns, it can be written the other way (horizontally). (Confused yet?) In HTML, I usually label them as Table Headers (<TH>).
The first step you write down is the given. After that you just go through the routine of writing down the different statements and their justifications. At the end, you write your conclusion - what you're trying to prove. Sometimes you'll come across a step that seems redundant. While you don't always have to include them in your proof, you should until your teacher tells you otherwise. Many teachers I know would mark off points for excluding something small like that.
One thing that seems to catch many people is the similarity between the Substitution Property and the Transitive Property. However, there is a distinct difference. Check them out for yourself. Sometimes either can be used in a proof, but most often its either one or the other. Substitution is for replacing parts that are known to be equal and Transitive is for showing equality between two previously unrelated things.
My tables usually look like this:
Statements/Conclusion | Justification |
1) Insert given here. | 1) The justification is that it is given. |
2) First point. | 2) First justification. |
3) Second point. | 3) Second justification. |
And so on until... | |
9) The conclusion. | 9) The final justification. |
There are eight completed theorem proofs available at this website. They are:

what I mean is does it fold down for easy travel we have a family of 5 and traveling to Canada for a fishing trip isn't that easy for a family of that size when you get all the gear and clothes loaded in the carAnswers
I would imagine in doesn't fold down, but I'm sure you could simply take it apart for travel and reassemble when you've reached your destination.1 of 1

Poured into a English dimpled pub mug.
Clear copper with a redish hue and one inch sustaining dense head; thick lace.
Smells like hard belgian christmas candy, cinnamon cloves and fresh cookie dough.
Taste is a full bodied complex blend of Marris Otter malts, cinnamon, belgian candy, and mulling spices. Not too overpowering in the blend of spices makes this drinkable and satisfying.
This is not a holiday brew for the meek but rather a BIG offering of holiday flavors. I have to mention that this brew is close to a GL Christmas Ale but a bit over-the-top with the mulkling spice. This is not for everyone but I find it very pleasant and appetizing.
Get one and sip by a nice winter fire or chug it whilst shoveling the driveway. It's all good!

12 oz brown bottle - no dating noticed
Thirsty Dog 12 Dogs of Christmas Ale filled my pint glass with a dark amber body producing a 1-1/2 finger bubbly off-white head with good retention. Off-white lacing clung to the pint glass as I consumed the ale. The nose was hit with a blend of spices with cinnamon and nutmeg the most recognizable. The taste was right from the holiday season. First up was toasted and caramel malts followed by and dominating were the nice spices of cinnamon and nutmeg. A light touch of honey and ginger played a secondary role. Mouth feel was almost creamy with laid back carbonation and a pleasant warming finish.
12 Dogs of Christmas is just what the holidays ordered or for that matter anytime. I will have another!

A - deep amber.. Heads up nicely but falls too quick
S - nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger
T - same as smell.. Follows the feel of literally drinking Christmas
M - a bit bity IMO, very very spiced
O - much better than most winter warms I've had. But reader beware if you don't want lots of spice, avoid.

look: 3 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5
A - Nice deep dark amber bordering brown, light head that disappeared almost immediately. Looks ok, nothing to impress, but nothing wrong here either.
S - Wow. Blast of liquid gingerbread. Smells of molasses, ginger and clove. Very inviting, very holiday.
T - Follows right along with the smell, strong spice. In my opinion too over the top.
M - Not a lot here, relatively thin, just over bearing on the spice note. Good, but cannot drink more than one of these.
O - The thought is Christmas, and it achieves. Just a bit too overbearing for my tastes, good but a one and done for me. I would have another, just not in the same night. Cannot see this anytime but the holidays, would have a far different take in May.
Try one, but if you can pick up a single in doing so, I would recommend that.

Review from 12/18/13
A: Rich mahogany color in the glass. Whitish head forms nicely but disappears quickly
S: Spices obviously. Ginger and nutmeg are most prevalent.
T: Ginger and nutmeg mostly, but the spice presence is nice and not overpowering.
M: Maybe not quite as full bodied as I was hoping, but not bad.
O: A very enjoyable spiced beer, though I was hoping for more spices, especially the cinnamon, to stand out.

I really loved this at first....After a few uses it made my hair limp and full of static. I even used some clairifying shampoo to help relieve any build up. I actually just threw it out today. I dont know what went wrong.....Maybe it depends on what kind of water you have.
Got this the other day thanks to all the great reviews on MUA. Once again, you ladies have steered me in the right direction. This stuff is amazing! After I blow dried with it, my hair felt so soft and silky. No frizz at all, and it wasn't weighed down in the slightest. The smell and the packaging are great, too. Great stuff!
I normally use Rusk Wired but I had to add something to get free shipping, so I bought this and I am glad that I tried it. I like the pump.
It makes your hair silky soft and smooth, it does leave you with some fly-aways which I am not used to.
The consistency is a creamy but not thick, a bit runny so I am not sure that coarser hair gals could use this.
I feel that Rusk Wired gives more styling hold while providing protection and also the versatility to use in wet or dry hair.
I do feel though that this a good product and on days where I do not need a lot of styling hold and I am going more natural, I will use this
I really like this creamy blow drying lotion....made my hair very soft and shiny without feeling greasy or weighted down. I would repurchase.
I bought a small sample size to try it out and I think it's great so far. It does smooth out my hair and doesn't feel producty and sticky. I use Joico ICE whip on my roots and this on the ends. Results- great hair. So far I'm suprised that it's lasting through the humidity. I tried it today without the ICE whip and it worked well on the shaft of my hair but the roots were kind of frizzy. The smell is okay and disappears quickly. Would definately buy this again!
More reviews by cheesysmookums
This stuff smells DIVINE! I've never used a blow out type product before but I was lucky. This makes my hair smell SOOO good, soft and smooth! I'm thinking about seeing if there's anything else for volume though .. but would repurchase!
Wow! I've been looking for a HG styling product that is cheaper than my beloved Kereastase. So $15 is a steal for what this does...I have shoulder length, fine, dry, highlighted hair which has thinned out a lot due to postpartum hair loss. This gave me sleek, shiny (but not greasy or limp) hair with bounce. All I had to use was the dryer and round brush and it looks like a salon blow dry. Didn't even have to use the flat iron, which is amazing. I am never dissapointed with Redken products. Will definately buy again!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got a sample size of this at Ulta (love how you can buy sample sizes of the Redken products there!). This is a nice styling product. I definitely felt like it helped smooth out my hair more with the help of my blow dryer and provide sort of a "hold". However, it was not sticky or crunchy, which was the big plus. I don't think this is creamy enough for someone who has extremely coarse and frizzy hair. This would be good for someone who wants to smooth out their hair but has problems with the creamy styling products looking too greasy.

U.S. Air Force Extends Service Life of B-2 Bombers
The U.S Air Force plans to extend the service life of the nuclear-capable B-2 bomber to nearly 2060, Aviation Week & Space Technology reported this week (see GSN, Aug. 18).
The bomber was once set to be retired in 2037, but the Air Force has pushed that back to 2058, said Harry Heimple, Northrop Grumman Integrated Systems' manger for government requirements. In the meantime, several upgrades are planned for the B-2, including the addition of active stealth technology and the use of new materials to make the bomber more serviceable, Aviation Week reported (Wall/Fulghum, Aviation Week & Space Technology, Sept. 27).
Meanwhile, a new study by the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessment nonprofit research institute says that improvements to the Air Force's fleet of 21 B-2 bombers would help maintain U.S. long-range strike capabilities, according to Defense Daily.
"Near-term improvements to current American long-range strike capabilities should emphasize on 'precision information' needed for precision strike," the study says. "In the case of the bomber fleet, the next step with the greatest payoff would be to invest around $2 billion to modernize the avionics in the 21 B-2s" (Lorenzo Cortes, Defense Daily, Sept. 29).
The Air Force is also considering deploying a new long-range strike aircraft between 2020 and 2025, and perhaps as early as 2015, according to Aviation Week & Space Technology (see GSN, June 24). The new manned aircraft would be expected to have a range of 2,500 nautical miles, a speed of Mach 2 and a daytime attack capability (Wall/Fulghum, Aviation Week & Space Technology).

BATON ROUGE, La. —
The Tulsa softball team defeated Purdue, 4-1, and fell to No. 10 LSU in 10 innings, 1-0, to split the second day of the Tiger Classic at Tiger Park.
In the first game of the day, senior shortstop Samantha Cobb went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, and Aimee Creger struck out nine batters to lead the Golden Hurricane (3-1) to a 4-1 win over Purdue. Cobb singled, doubled and tripled in the game.
Creger (2-0) allowed just four hits and one earned run in the complete-game victory. Senior center fielder Caitlin Everett, junior third baseman Jill Barrett and sophomore first baseman Julie Kernen each scored a run for the Golden Hurricane. Senior catcher Cassidy Bowen and junior right fielder Haley Henshaw also drove in runs for TU.
In the game against LSU, Middlebrooks and Rachele Fico dueled for nine scoreless innings. Middlebrooks (1-1) pitched a two-hitter, struck out three batters and allowed seven walks. Fico (2-0) struck out 14 and allowed five hits. The international tiebreaker went into effect at the start of the 10th inning, and LSU earned three walks in the bottom of the inning to plate the winning run.
In the game against Purdue, the Hurricane got on the board in the first inning when Everett led off with a single, and TU loaded the bases with a double by Cobb and a walk by Bowen. Everett scored on a throwing error at third base.
Purdue scored its only run in the second inning when right fielder Andie Varsho hit a one-out double and scored on a single by second baseman Ashley Burkhardt.
In the fourth inning, Kernen led off with a single to right center, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt, and scored on Henshaw's single to right center.
The Hurricane added two more runs in the top of the seventh when Barrett hit a one-out single to right and scored on Cobb's triple down the right field line. Bowen's RBI ground out plated Cobb.
In the LSU game, Middlebrooks fought out of trouble several times, as the Lady Tigers had a runner in scoring position with fewer than two outs in each of the fourth through eighth innings, but the TU defense held strong each time. The Hurricane had baserunners in the fourth, fifth, sixth and ninth innings, including runners at first and third in the sixth, but was unable to cross the plate.

Milan holds Barça to 1-1 draw at San Siro
October 23rd, 2013Last night's Champions League group stage match against AC Milan ended in a draw after first half goals from Robinho and Messi, leaving Barcelona at the top of the table for Group H.
Milan came out clearly focused on scoring early only to have their first goal ruled offside. However, a couple of minutes later their determintaion payed off, with Robinho putting the ball into the back of the Barça net. The Italians' energy soon waned though and Barcelona picked up, demonstrating their usual high possession rate and when the time came, 20 minutes into the game, with Busquets and Iniesta setting up the goal for Leo Messi.
Despite controlling high possession the Catalans were unable to score again, despite some good opportunities. Neymar saw a volley just go wide at one stage but in the end the teams were forced to share the points.
1-0 Robinho (min 8)
1-1 Messi (min 22)
Club | Pld | W | D | L | F | A | Pts |
Barcelona | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 1 | 7 |
AC Milan | 3 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 5 |
Celtic | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 3 |
Ajax | 3 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 7 | 1 |
Barcelona's next Champions League fixture is against Milan on 6th November. Before that we have the Nou Camp "clasico" on Saturday and the Barcelona derby on 1st November.
New start of season record for Barcelona
September 30th, 2013Barcelona's win against Almeria on Saturday created a new club record for the start of the season, winning all seven matches played so far. The Catalans started the match testing the Almeria defence, while the hosts did all they could to make sure they were able to do little with the high possession.
However, at the 20 minute mark Pedro passed to Messi at the edge of the box and put Barça in the lead. Although Messi might have hoped to do more though, as just a few minutes later Xavi came on to replace him with the Argentine suffering a thigh injury likely to keep him out of action for two to three weeks. And with Messi off, Almeria started to capitalise on Barcelona's lost focus, forcing Valdes into action at the end of the first half.
Back on after the break Barcelona regained their composure and, back in control, started to slow things down. 10 minutes into the second half Adriano put the ball into the Almeria net for the final goal of the match.
0-1 Messi (min 20)
0-2 Adriano (min 56)
Six out of six as Barça equals their best la liga start
September 25th, 2013Barcelona made it six games out of six last night when they faced Real Sociedad at the Nou Camp, and in doing so equalled their best ever start to the league. Barça scored a barrage of goals early on, with Neymar opening the scoring in the fourth minute, followed by Messi just three minutes later and Busquets 22 minutes in.
Although Barça continued to dominate the first half ended 3-0. The Nou Camp was in a party mood thanks to the city wide celebrations for la Mercè, Barcelona's patron saint, and also the anniversary of the inauguration of the stadium; every chance on the Real Sociedad goal was celebrated in the stands.
Back on after the break it took nearly 20 minutes for the visitors to make their mark on the evening when they took the scoreline to 3-1. However, it was too little and too late against the might of Barcelona, who scored one more 12 minutes later to end the match 4-1.
Barça heads to Almeria on Saturday for the next league match, followed by Celtic on Tuesday.
1-0 Neymar (min 4)
2-0 Messi (min 7)
3-0 Busquets (min 22)
3-1 De la Bella (min 64)
4-1 Bartra (min 76)
Messi hat trick opens Barça's European campaign
September 19th, 2013Barcelona kicked off their Champions League campaign last night with a 4-0 win against Dutch side Ajax. The goals came from a Messi hat trick, plus a header from Gerard Pique, with all but one of the goals coming in the second half.
The lead up to this match saw a war of words between Barça president Sandro Rosell and soccer legend Johan Cruyff, who has played and managed both Barça and Ajax and recently said he would never step inside the Nou Camp while Rosell remains president.
Although in some ways the match was rather lacklustre, Victor Valdes put on a strong performance, twice preventing Ajax from equalising when Barça had gone one goal up and then later stopping a penalty. The end result leaves Barcelona top of the table in Group H, ahead of AC Milan thanks to goals for.
1-0 Messi (min 21)
2-0 Messi (min 54)
3-0 Piqué (min 68)
4-0 Messi (min 74)

Alexis saves the day with last minute goal against Sevilla
September 16th, 2013Barcelona's fourth match of the season was against Sevilla at the Nou Camp on Saturday, and while going ahead 2 goals, Sevilla equalised in a 10 minute period leading up to the end of the match. It was only a goal in injury time by Alexis that saved the result for the Catalans.
Sevilla is never a walkover and another in a string of tough opponents at the start of this season. Although Barça piled on the pressure from the start, with Neymar and Tello in particular looking to threaten the Sevilla goal, the visitor's defence didn't allow much opportunity either. In the end Dani Alves opened the scoring after 34 minutes with a header off an Adriano cross and the first half ended with Barcelona one goal up.
Back on after the break Sevilla looked like they were going to make a go at it and upped the pressure on the Barça goal. However, with Cesc gaining the ball, Neymar then set up Messi for goal number two in the 74th minute. However, Sevilla were not yet done and just minutes later they had narrowed the advantage to a single goal, and then right at the last minute equalised.
With three minutes of injury time awarded by the referee it was looking like Barça would lose their first points of the season. However, the crowd was delighted when Messi set up Alexis to score the winning goal putting the Catalans equal first in the league table.
1-0 Dani Alves (min 35)
2-0 Messi (min 74)
2-1 Rakitic (min 79)
2-2 Coke(min 89)
3-2 Alexis(min 93)
Messi hat trick sees Valencia off at Mestalla
September 2nd, 2013A hat trick from Lionel Messi put Barcelona three goals ahead of Valencia last night at the Mestalla stadium, helping the Catalans to win the match and overcome their first real test of the new season. However, the home team fought back to score two goals before the break and offered a serious threat to Barça's early lead.
Leo Messi opened the scoring after 10 minutes after being set up by Cesc, and for the next 30 minutes Barcelona continued to dominate, with Messi scoring at the 38 minute mark and then two minutes later. However, just when it looked like the visitors had everything under control, Valencia scored two goals just before the break while the clock was counting down injury time and closing the early advantage down to a single goal.
Back on after the break Barcelona was unable to produce the same kind of magic that created that Messi hat trick, but with Valdes and the defence holding up, they conceded no more goals either. Valencia is always a tough competitor, and the Barça squad must be glad to have this match out the way with a positive result.
0-1 Messi (min 10)
0-2 Messi (min 38)
0-3 Messi (min 40)
1-3 Hélder Postiga (min 44)
2-3 Hélder Postiga (min 47)
Barça opens season with Levante demolition
August 19th, 2013Levante must have wondered what had hit them last night at the Nou Camp, when Barcelona ended the first half with six goals already. It must have been quite a relief in the second half for just one more to be scored, to end the match on 7-0, and a clear demonstration of how dominant Barça is likely to be this season.
Just as a reminder, this was the second home match with Tata Martino as coach – the first was the Gamper Trophy at the beginning of the month – and in those two matches his squad has scored 15 goals.
Alexis scored the first of the evening within two minutes, with Messi scoring goal number two at the 11 minute mark. However, when Dani Alves effectively sealed the victory for Barcelona after 23 minutes and Pedro making it 4 just two minutes after that.
Even at 4-0 it wasn't over for the first half though, with Messi scoring his second and Xavi ending the first half 6-0. I can't even imagine the moral in Levante's dressing room during the break, but fortunately for their self esteem there was only one more goal, scored by Pedro in the 72nd minute.
Barcelona is clearly looking solid under the new manager, who has brought with him a new style of play that may well outsmart the best clubs in Europe this season. It's early days, but there are strong indications that the 2013/14 season is going to be one to remember!
1-0 Alexis (min 2)
2-0 Messi (min 11)
3-0 Dani Alves (min 23)
4-0 Pedro (min 25)
5-0 Messi (min 41)
6-0 Xavi (min 44)
7-0 Pedro (min 72)
Barcelona demonstrate strength against Thailand
August 7th, 2013Barcelona played Thailand earlier today in the first match of their short Far East tour. Net mar opened the scoring, his first for his new club, with Pedro scoring a hat track and Messi scoring two. The remaining goal for Barça was scored by Alexis.
0-1 Neymar (min 11)

0-4 Messi (min 25)

Barça thrashes Santos in 2013 Gamper Trophy
August 3rd, 2013Last night Barcelona played their first match of the 2013-2014 pre-season in front of a new crowd, marking the debut of both Tata Martino and Neymar at the Nou Camp. With the new team being introduced prior to the match, the Nou Camp was in full celebratory mood, while commemorating legendary Barça goalkeeper Antoni Ramallets, who died on Tuesday.
This year Brazilian club Santos was invited to play in the Gamper trophy, the club from which Neymar has just been signed and so the Gamper played farewell to him as much as it did an introduction to the new.
Barcelona came on brimming with energy and from the early moments it looked like they might score. It took just seven minutes for Lionel Messi to score, followed by an own goal from Santos a few minutes later. It took 10 more minutes before Alexis made it 3-0, but even that wasn't enough and by the time of the break Pedro had made it 4-0.
There can't have been a good feeling in the changing room of one of Brazil's premier clubs, but after the break play continued as before. Martino made a number of changes in the second half, including the hugely anticipated debut of Neymar, who for the first time played alongside Leo Messi to roars of approval from the crowd.
Cesc scored two within the first 25 minutes to make it 6-0 and while it was clear that the squad was trying to set up Neymar to score his first goal for the Catalans, it didn't quite happen. However, Adriano scored a seventh goal for Barcelona and Dongou made it 8-0.
All in all a good display of football and a good result. While some doubted whether Messi and Neymar could coexist in the same team, the first demonstration seems to show that both are mature enough to get on with the job. based on this match it looks like it will be a fantastic season ahead.
1-0 Messi (min 7)
2-0 Léo (min 10)
3-0 Alexis (min 20)
4-0 Pedro (min 28)
5-0 Fábregas (min 51)
6-0 Fábregas (min 66)
7-0 Adriano (min 73)
8-0 Dongou (min 81)
Neymar debut against Lechia Gdansk ends in draw
July 31st, 2013Barcelona yesterday travelled to Poland in the last of a series of three friendlies before the Gamper Trophy on Friday. The starting lineup against Lechia Gdansk was almost exactly the same as that which played in the previous two matches, with key players still missing from the Spanish and Brazilian selections, with one exception; that of Neymar, who made his debut for Barça in the last 15 minutes of the game.
If Barcelona thought the match would go their way then they were sorely mistaken, with the hosts controlling the game from the start and scoring at the quarter hour mark. The Catalans clawed back a goal from Sergi Roberto ten minutes later, but when the half time whistle blew the scores were level.
Back on after the break Lechia came on fighting still and scored in the first five minutes to once again put themselves ahead but a few short minutes after Leo Messi equalised again for the Catalans. With the majority of the squad now made up of B team players after a mass substitution, Messi and Alexis were also brought off. On went Neymar, playing his first match for Barcelona and who instantly became the target by the home side.
Although not able to show what he is capable of in that situation, he will surely play of Friday against Santos when the squad makes its first appearance of the new season at the Nou Camp.
1-0 Bieniuk (Min 14)
1-1 Sergi Roberto (min 25)

More than 4,000 groups sign up to protest NSA
Websites will encourage people to contact Congress next Tuesday
IDG News Service - More than 4,000 groups and websites have signed on to support a day of protest set for Tuesday against U.S. National Security Agency surveillance programs.
In addition, tens of thousands of people have pledged to make calls and post messages on the Web in support of surveillance reform, said organizers of The Day We Fight Back.
Among the groups supporting the day of Web protest are the American Civil Liberties Union, Amnesty International, BoingBoing, Demand Progress, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Fight for the Future, Free Press, Mozilla, Reddit and Tumblr.
"Together we will push back against powers that seek to observe, collect, and analyze our every digital action," organizers wrote on TheDayWeFightBack.org. "Together, we will make it clear that such behavior is not compatible with democratic governance. Together, if we persist, we will win this fight."
Supporters of the NSA surveillance program say they help keep the U.S. safe from terrorist attacks.
Organizers of the protest are encouraging websites to display banners calling for a scaling back of NSA surveillance program. The groups will encourage people to call or email members of the U.S. Congress and to post Twitter messages, write Facebook posts and engage in other online activity.
Many organizers hope the protest will spur Congress to pass the USA Freedom Act, a bill that would scale back the NSA's bulk collection of U.S. telephone records. The bill, introduced in October following leaks about NSA surveillance from former contractor Edward Snowden, has more than 140 co-sponsors between its versions in the Senate and House of Representatives.
Organizers are modeling the protest after one two years ago that helped defeat two online copyright bills, the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP Act. Ironically, Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, was the lead sponsor of the Protect IP Act and is now the lead sponsor of the USA Freedom Act, the NSA reform bill supported by the protest groups.
"We will not stand idly by while the freedom of the Internet is threatened by abusive government surveillance," David Segal, executive director of Demand Progress, said in a statement. "We will unite as a community, and we will defend this vital resource. And we are strong."
