A lively left-winger with good crossing ability, Stewart Downing has been an England player since February 2005, but after seven years and over 30 appearances he is still waiting to score his first international goal. He made his name at Middlesbrough FC before moving on to Aston Villa FC and, two years later, to Liverpool FC.
• Joined home-town club Middlesbrough as a schoolboy and worked his way up through the academy, making his first-team debut in April 2002 against Ipswich Town FC, aged 17.
• Made several Premier League appearances, most of them from the bench, in 2003/04 after a loan spell at Sunderland AFC, but was an unused substitute when Boro beat Bolton Wanderers FC 2-1 in the League Cup final.
• Came to the fore the following season, scoring five goals in 35 Premier League games and another in the club's run to the fourth round of the UEFA Cup, producing a particularly eye-catching display against S.S. Lazio that heralded a first cap for England – against the Netherlands at Villa Park on 9 February 2005.
• Missed much of the following campaign through injury but returned to help Boro reach the UEFA Cup final and earn selection for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, where he made three substitute appearances; also featured prominently for England in UEFA EURO 2008 qualifying under his ex-Middlesbrough manager Steve McClaren.
• Joined Villa in 2009 and started all 38 Premier League games for the club in 2010/11, scoring seven goals; returned to national team duty for the last three UEFA EURO 2012 qualifiers in autumn 2011 after joining Liverpool, with whom he won the League Cup the following February.

Bond films aren't ready for a black 007, says Noel Clarke
British director Noel Clarke has slammed actor Idris Elba's chances of being named the next James Bond, claiming that the spy series isn't ready for a black 007.
It was recently confirmed that 'The Wire' star Elba had met with movie chiefs to discuss taking over when current Bond Daniel Craig steps down, the Sun reported.
But Clarke, who stars in new flick 'Storage 24,' said last week: "I feel like the pressure, and I'm not a racist or a militant, the pressure of being the first black Bond would be so much, it would kill the person that did it."
"I feel there'd be so many people against it," he said.
He went on to explain that he didn't think Elba - or any non-white actor - would be chosen, explaining: "I don't know if he'll get it. I don't know if he'd get it, I don't know if any of us would get it."
"I feel like, if anyone's likely to get it, it would be him. But I feel like the pressure of it would be like - why would you put yourself through that?
"And I can picture it, in ten years time they've changed it. 'No, he was 007, but he wasn't actually Bond.' One hundred per cent, I still feel like that's there," he said.

text: Shi, Xiangyun; Cui, Jingan; Zhou, Xueyong Stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis of an eco-epidemic model with a stage structure. (English) Zbl 1215.34102 Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl., Ser. A, Theory Methods 74, No. 4, 1088-1106 (2011). This paper deals with an epidemiological predator-prey model in which the population of preys is divided into two classes: susceptible and infected prey, and the population of predators is divided into two stage groups: juveniles and adults. The age of maturity introduces a constant delay which leads to a nonlinear system of delayed differential equations. Sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the five equilibria are established. Considering the delay as a varying parameter, the stability of the positive equilibrium is analyzed. Under some conditions, a Hopf bifurcation occurs when the delay passes through a critical value. Using the normal form and center manifold theory, explicit formulae determining the direction of the bifurcating periodic solutions are provided.

Richard "Dick" E. Stewart, 92, of Duluth joined his beloved wife Maxine in peace on June 4, while in the care of St.
Richard "Dick" E. Stewart, 92, of Duluth joined his beloved wife Maxine in peace on June 4, while in the care of St. Luke's Hospice.
Dick was born in Duluth Feb. 7, 1920.
He attended Chester Park Elementary School in its first year of enrollment, graduated from Central High School class of 1937 and attended the Minn. Civil Service School in Duluth.
He served three years in the Army field artillery at Fort Ord in California, returning to run his family's locksmith and gun repair business in 1946.
He met his dear love, Maxine, while on a job to repair a door lock, and they married in 1949. They built a new store at the corner of 15th Ave. E. And London Road (now Marine General) with Dick's "mustering out" pay. Later he moved Stewart's Wheel Goods up two blocks to a larger building at 1502 E. Superior Street to accommodate the expanding business.
Dick was an enthusiastic supporter of sports at all levels in the Duluth area, sponsoring many youth hockey teams, supplying the UMD men's hockey team for a time, and working on the Spirit of Duluth hockey tournament committee. In his honor, the Dick Stewart cup is awarded to the winning team of the CCM All Star Hockey game each year.
Dick had season tickets for UMD men's hockey from when they played at the original Curling Club on London Road and never missed a game if he could help it. He could always be heard to cheer "Go 'Dogs!" throughout the arena and waved his windsock enthusiastically to cheer the team on.
He was a lifetime member of the United Baptist Christian Church, singing in the choir there as well as with the Duluth Light Opera Company, which performed Gilbert & Sullivan operettas in the 50's and 60's. He was also a member of the Scottish Rite Masons, Glen Avon #306.
Richard was preceded in death by his parents Richard E. and Gertrude (Stalley) Stewart; his sister Joyce S. Hanson; and his wife Maxine G. Stewart.
He is survived and sadly missed by his daughters Susan E. Stewart, Jacksonville, Fla., and Lesley S. Lenox of Duluth, as well as nephews William (Patty) Hanson, David (Linda) Hanson, both of Duluth, and niece Marge (Tom) Marwick of Tower.
The family would like to thank his team of private caregivers and St. Luke's hospice for their wonderful care.
VISITATION: 5-8 p.m. Friday in the Dougherty Funeral Home. Visitation will continue Saturday from 1 p.m. to the 2 p.m. Memorial Service at the Seitz Arena at the Duluth Heritage Sports Center, 120 S 30th Ave. West. Duluth.

Rob and I already discussed about this topic. I do not understand why the resulting image of a filter primitive is clipped to the filter region, while it's subregion is not? The Spec says: "All intermediate offscreens are defined to not exceed the intersection of x, y, width and height with the filter region. The filter region and any of the x, y, width and heightsubregions are to be set up such that all offscreens are made big enough to accommodate any pixels which even partly intersect with either the filter region or the x,y,width,height subregions." I interprete the second sentence that all subregions are intersected to the filterRegion too, and not only the resulting image. I share Robs meaning about "intermediate offscreens".

"Bridge to the Fiscal Cliff,'' by LYDIA WHITCOMB
Considering how rich and diverse America is, the fiscal cliff could be easily addressed with minimal pain. And the clarity brought into the picture by a real deal would boost the financial markets and the economy big time, and fast.
It's the inability of people and companies to plan because of uncertainty about federal taxes and spending that's causing the trouble. Everyone is putting things on hold.

A Parker County jury found Jeffrey Allan Maxwell guilty Tuesday on charges of kidnapping and sexually assaulting his former Whitt neighbor.
After about 45 minutes of deliberation Tuesday afternoon, the six-man, six-woman jury returned to the courtroom shortly after 5 p.m. and delivered verdicts of guilty on all charges, including aggravated kidnapping and two charges of aggravated sexual assault.
Jurors heard nearly five days of testimony alleging the 59-year-old Navarro County man abducted his former 61-year-old neighbor from her Whitt home at gunpoint on March 1, 2011, severely beat and humiliated her, repeatedly sexually assaulted her, and held her at his Corsicana home for 12 days.
The woman, who the Democrat is not identifying because she is the victim of a sexual assault, told jurors she'd rejected repeated advances by Maxwell before he moved away from her neighborhood in 2005 but had not seen him since until he showed up at her house in 2011.
Left tied up in her house while Maxwell went outside and bruised and bleeding from an earlier struggle, she escaped the house and nearly made it to a family member's driveway when Maxwell chased her down and put her in the cargo area of his vehicle at gunpoint, she told jurors.
According to testimony presented to jurors, Maxwell hung the woman from what he called a hog-cleaning device in his garage, stripped her, sexually assaulted her while beating her with whips and attaching clamps to her nipples after she made repeated attempts to escape as he abducted her.
Maxwell put her in a solid wooden box, while she was gagged and her hands and feet shackled, she termed a coffin on March 2 when he left the house for a couple hours, according to testimony.
The woman told jurors she underwent repeated humiliations and sexual assaults and other abuse over the course of her abduction while believing Maxwell was eventually going to kill her.
After investigating a fire that destroyed the woman's home March 3, investigators went to Maxwell's home in Corsicana on March 12, where the woman walked out of the house behind Maxwell, who had told investigators he had not seen her in years, according to evidence presented to jurors.
Testimony in the first phase of the trial ended just after noon Tuesday after two forensic analysts testified regarding DNA and bodily fluids located on many items of evidence seized from the house.
Many blood stains, other stains and biological evidence collected from items throughout the house and a vehicle tested positive for DNA matching the woman, according to evidence presented to jurors.
A forensic scientist with a Texas Department of Public Safety crime lab testified - among their findings - they located apparent blood stains from the winch, rope and cable, which prosecutors said, was used to hoist the woman in the air as Maxwell severely beat and sexually assaulted her the day he kidnapped her. The DNA profile in the stains matched the woman's, according to testimony.
Shortly after assistant district attorneys Jeff Swain and Kathleen Catania rested their case, Maxwell told 43rd District Judge Trey Loftin that he did not want to testify or put on additional evidence for the jury.
Catania compared the story presented to jurors to a Stephen King or Stieg Larsson novel during closing arguments.
"This isn't some theoretical story," Catania told jurors. "This is somebody's life."
Court-appointed defense attorneys Rick Alley and James Wilson argued during closing statements that jurors should take a close look at the evidence and apply the law.
Wilson argued that Maxwell did not give a free and voluntary statement to investigators in a recording played for jurors. Maxwell's defense attorneys repeatedly objected to the introduction of three recorded interrogations in which Maxwell admitted to abducting and sexually assaulting the woman.
Alley argued investigators did an illegal search of the house. He also said the woman's initial statements to investigators immediately after exiting the house behind Maxwell stating he didn't do anything should give jurors doubt.
Maxwell's actions were monstrous, unimaginable and inhuman, Swain told jurors, calling them to hold him accountable.
Testimony in the punishment phase of the trial was expected to begin Wednesday morning.

Religion | Islam |
Ali Gauhar (1728–1806 CE), historically known as Shah Alam II, the eighteenth Mughal Emperor, was the son of the murdered Alamgir II. He escaped to Allahabad in December 1759 and later successfully defended the throne from the traitorous Imad-ul-Mulk, who appointed Shah Jahan III as the emperor. Later, he was nominated as the emperor by Ahmad Shah Durrani after the Third Battle of Panipat.[2]
Shah Alam II was considered the only and rightful emperor but he wasn't able to return to Delhi until 1772. He is known to have fought against the British East India Company during the Battle of Buxar and reformed the Mughal Army under the command of Mirza Najaf Khan and is thus known as one of the last effective Mughal Emperors.
Shah Alam II also authored his own Diwan of poems and was known by the pen-name Aftab. His poems were guided, compiled and collected by Mirza Fakhir Makin.[3]
Escape from Delhi
Prince Ali Gauhar, afterwards Emperor Shah Alam II, had been the heir apparent of his father Alamgir II. Prince Ali Gauhar's father had been appointed Mughal Emperor by Vizier Imad-ul-Mulk and Maratha Peshwa's brother Sadashivrao Bhau[4] who had completely dominated and later killed Alamgir II and kept Prince Ali Gauhar under surveillance. After a daring escape from Delhi, Prince Ali Gauhar appeared in the eastern provinces in 1759, hoping to strengthen his position by gaining control over Bengal, Bihar and Odisha.
Very soon however, Najib-ud-Daula, forced the usurper Imad-ul-Mulk to flee from the capitol after he gathered a large Mughal Army outside Delhi, which deposed the recreant Shah Jahan III. Najib-ud-Daula and Muslim nobles and then planned to defeat Marathas by maintaining correspondence with the powerful Ahmad Shah Durrani. After Ahmad Shah Durrani decisively defeated the Marathas, he nominated Ali Gauhar as the emperor under the name Shah Alam II.[5]
Eastern Campaigns
In the year 1760 after gaining control over Bihar, Odisha and some parts of the Bengal, the Mughal Crown Prince Ali Gauhar and his Mughal Army of 30,000 intended to overthrow Mir Jafar and Imad-ul-Mulk after they tried to capture or kill him by advancing towards Awadh and Patna in 1759. But the conflict soon involved the intervention of the assertive East India Company. The Mughals clearly intended to recapture their breakaway Eastern Subah's and were led by Prince Ali Gauhar, who was accompanied by Muhammad Quli Khan, Kadim Husein, Kamgar Khan, Hidayat Ali, Mir Afzal and Ghulam Husain Tabatabai. Their forces were reinforced by the forces of Shuja-ud-Daula, Najib-ud-Daula and Ahmad Shah Bangash. The Mughals were also joined by Jean Law and 200 Frenchmen and waged a campaign against the British during the Seven Years' War.[6]
Prince Ali Gauhar successfully advanced as far as Patna, which he later besieged with a combined army of over 40,000 in order to capture or kill Ramnarian a sworn enemy of the Mughals. Mir Jafar was fraught in terror at the near demise of his cohort and sent his own son Miran to relieve Ramnarian and retake Patna. Mir Jafar also implored the aid of Robert Clive, but it was Major John Caillaud, who dispersed Prince Ali Gauhar's army in the year 1761 after four major battles including Battle of Patna, Battle of Sirpur, Battle of Birpur and Battle of Siwan.
After negotiations assuring peace Shah Alam II was escorted by the British to meet Mir Qasim the new Nawab of Bengal, who was nominated after the sudden death of Miran. Mir Qasim soon had the Mughal Emperor's investiture as Subedar of Bengal, Bihar and Odisha, and agreed to pay an annual revenue of 2.4 million dam. Shah Alam II then retreated to Allahabad was protected by the Shuja-ud-Daula, Nawab of Awadh from 1761 until 1764. Meanwhile Mir Qasim's relations with the British began to worsen he initiated reforms that withdrew many of the advantages enjoyed by the British East India Company, he also ousted Ramnarian a sworn enemy of the Mughal Empire and created Firelock manufacturing factories at Patna with the sole purpose of giving advantage to the newly reformed Mughal Army.
Angered by the these developments the East India Company sought his ouster. Mir Qasim was chased out of Bengal, Bihar and Odisha; he encouraged Shuja-ud-Daula the Nawab of Awadh and even the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II to engage the British.
Battle of Buxar
The Battle of Buxar was fought on 22 October 1764 between the forces under the command of the British East India Company led by Hector Munro, and the combined armies of Mir Qasim, the Nawab of Bengal; Shuja-ud-Daula the Nawab of Awadh; the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II.[7] The battle fought at Buxar, then within the territory of Bengal, a town located on the bank of the Ganges river, was a decisive victory for the British East India Company.
Diwani rights
Soon after the Battle of Buxar, Shah Alam II, a sovereign who had just been defeated by the British, sought their protection by signing the Treaty of Allahabad in the year 1765. Shah Alam II granted the Diwani (right to collect revenue) of Bengal(which included Bihar and Odisha) to the British East India Company in return for an annual tribute of 2.6 million rupees. The company further secured for him the districts of Kora and Allahabad this allowed the British East India Company to directly tax more than 20 million people. Revenue was also collected by the deputy Nawab Muhammad Reza Khan.
Return to Delhi
The emperor resided in the fort of Allahabad for six years, while Warren Hastings who had been appointed Governor of Bengal in 1774 discontinued the tribute of 2.6 million Rupees and also made over the districts of Allahabad and Kara to the Nawab of Awadh. These measures amounted to a repudiation of the company's vassalage as Diwan and the annexation of Bengal. Shah Alam II agreed to the consultation of the British, who advised him never to trust the Marathas.
In the year 1771 the Marathas under Mahadji Scindia returned to northern India and even captured Delhi. Shah Alam II, was escorted by Mahadji Scindia and left Allahabad in May 1771 and in January 1772 reached Delhi with a battle-ready force trained on the European model, under the command of his able and loyal commander, Mirza Najaf Khan, together they sought to restore some of the long lost glories of the Mughal Empire. Along with the Marathas they undertook to win the crown lands of Rohilkhand and defeated Zabita Khan, capturing the fort of Pathar garh with its treasure.
Immediately after recapturing the throne Shah Alam II, began to depend on Mirza Najaf Khan. Maratha armies withdrew from the north in 1773 after the murder of Narayan rao Peshwa at Pune.
Reformation of the Mughal Army
One of his first acts was to strengthen and raise a new Mughal Army, under the command of Mirza Najaf Khan capable of defending the Mughal Empire. This new army consisted of infantrymen who successfully utilized both Flintlocks and Talwars in combat formations,[8] they utilized elephants for transportation and were less dependent on artillery and cavalry. Mirza Najaf Khan is also known to have introduced the more-effective Firelock muskets through his collaboration with Mir Qasim, the Nawab of Bengal.[8]
Once the army was ready Mirza Najaf Khan and the Maratha chiefs jointly led the Mughal Army to victory when threatened by Zabita Khan and his Sikhs. The new Mughal Army then marched south of Delhi against the troublesome Jats, defeating them and capturing the lucrative revenue bearing district of Agra along with the numerous forts. The revenue from Agra was then collected by Mughal Army to pay regular imperial salaries rather than living in arrears as had become the trend in the latter half of the 18th century. This new army soon controlled a vast territory that stretched from the Satluj Valley in the west to the territories around Allahabad in the east, from Srinagar in the north to Gwalior in the south, however times were troubled and the Mughal Empire was surrounded by enemies on every side.
Sikh raids
Trouble with the Sikhs was constant, they suddenly emerged in the year 1764 and overran the Mughal Faujdar of Sirhind, Zain Khan Sirhindi, who fell in battle and ever since the Sikhs perpetually raided and plundered lands as far as Delhi practically every year. They marauded into Delhi three times in 11 years particularly in 1772, 1778 and 1783. And it is believed that the Sikhs even had informants, probably even the Viziers of Shah Alam II. There was ongoing warfare with the Sikhs who were marauding in eastern Punjab and plundering the Rohilla, Mewar and Jat lands. During Shah Alam II's reign the Sikhs fought not just with the Mughals, but with the Marathas, Rajputs, and Rohillas.
The Marathas took Delhi in 1772 before Shah Alam II arrived. Mirza Najaf Khan had restored a sense of order to the Mughal finances and administration and particularly reformed the Mughal Army. In 1777 Mirza Najaf Khan decisively defeated Zabita Khan's forces and repelled the Sikhs after halting their raids.
In 1778, after a Sikh incursion into Delhi, Shah Alam ordered their defeat by appointing, the Mughal Grand Vizier, Majad-ud-Daula marched with 20,000 Mughal troops against Sikh rebels into hostle territories, this action led to the defeat of the Mughal Army at Muzzaffargarh and later at Ghanaur, due to the mounted the casualties Shah Alam II reappointed Mirza Najaf Khan, who soon died of natural circumstances leaving the Mughal Empire weaker than ever.
In the year 1779, Mirza Najaf Khan carefully advanced his forces who successfully routed the treasonous Zabita Khan and his Sikh allies who lost more than 5,000 rebels in a single battle and never returned to threaten the Mughal Empire during the commander Mirza Najaf Khan's lifetime.
In the year 1783, Farzana Zeb un-Nissa had saved Delhi from an invasion and possible mass-plunder by a force of 30,000 Sikh rebels, under Baghel Singh.
After the defeats at Muzzaffargarh and later at Ghanaur, Majad-ud-Daula was arrested by the orders of Shah Alam II, who then recalled Mirza Najaf Khan. This led to the former Grand Vizier's arrest for causing miscalculations and collaborating with the enemies of the emperor. The traitor was imprisoned and a sum of two million dam in stolen revenue recovered from him. It was Shah Alam II's poor judgement and vacillation that led to his own downfall. Mirza Najaf Khan had given the Mughal Empire breathing space by having a powerful, well managed army in its own right. In 1779 the newly reformed Mughal Army decisively defeated Zabita Khan and his Sikh allies the rebels lost 5,000 men including their leader and therefore did not return during the lifetime of Mirza Najaf Khan. Unfortunately upon the general's death, Shah Alam's bad judgement prevailed. The dead man's nephew, Mirza Shafi whose valour had been proven during various occasions, was not appointed commander in chief. Shah Alam II instead appointed worthless individuals whose loyalty and record were questionable at best. They were soon quarreling over petty matters. Even the corrupt and treasonous former Grand Vizier, Majad-ud-Daula was restored to his former office, he later colluded with the Sikhs and reduced the size of the Mughal Army from over 20,000 to only 5,000 thus bringing the Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II at the mercy of his ruffian enemies.[9]
The respect toward the house of Timur is so strong that even though the whole subcontinent has been withdrawn from its authority, that no ordinary prince ever intends to take the title of sovereign...and Shah Alam II is still seated on the Mughal throne, and everything is still done in his name.
Nawab Majad-ud-Daula was followed by a known enemy of the Mughals, the grandson of Najib Khan, Ghulam Qadir, with his Sikh allies forced Shah Alam II to appoint him as the Grand Vizier of the Mughal Empire. Petty, avaricious and insane Ghulam Qadir ravaged the palaces in search of the Mughal treasure believed to be worth Rs 250 million. Unable to locate even a fraction of that sum and angered by the Mughal Emperor's attempts to eliminate him and his Sikh allies, Ghulam Qadir himself blinded Shah Alam II on 10 August 1788.[9] A drunken ruffian, Ghulam Qadir behaved with gross brutality to the emperor and his family. Three servants and two water-carriers who tried to help the bleeding emperor were beheaded and according to one account, Ghulam Qadir would pull the beard of the elderly Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. After ten horrible weeks during which the honor of the royal family and prestige of the Mughal Empire reached its lowest ebb, loyal subjects and allies of Shah Alam II, led by Farzana Zeb un-Nissa, Ismail Beg, Mirza Shafi, Asaf-Ud-Dowlah and Mahadaji Shinde fought their way into Delhi. The renegade Ghulam Qadir somehow escaped during the fray but was soon captured and executed by the forces loyal Mahadaji Shinde and the Mughal Emperor.
Thankful for her intervention, the blind Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II welcomed and bestowed special honors upon Farzana Zeb un-Nissa in the Red Fort and declared her to be "his most beloved daughter". He also appointed Mahadji Scindia as the Vakil e mutalik of the Mughal Emperor and awarded him the holy places of Mathura and Vrindavan. Agra fort was handed over to Scindia and a farman banning cow slaughter was proclaimed in the Mughal Empire.
His power was so depleted by the end of his reign that it led to a saying 'The kingdom of Shah Alam is from Delhi to Palam'. Palam is a suburb of Delhi.
Arrival of British troops
The French threat in Europe and its possible repercussions in India caused the British to strive to regain the custody of Shah Alam II. The British feared that the French military officers might overthrow Maratha power and use the authority of the Mughal emperor to further French ambition in India. After the Battle of Delhi, on 14 September 1803 British troops entered Delhi and Shah Alam II, a blind old man, seated under a tattered canopy, came under British protection. The Mughal Emperor no longer had the military power to enforce his will, but he commanded respect as a dignified member of the House of Timur in the length and breadth of the country. The Nawabs and Subedars still sought formal sanction of the Mughal Emperor on their accession and valued the titles he bestowed upon them. They struck coins and read the Khutba (Friday sermons) in his name. Shah Alam II also corresponded with Hyder Ali and later with his son Tipu Sultan during their conflicts with the British East India Company during the Anglo-Mysore Wars and was very well informed about the expansionist agenda of the British.
His grave lies, next to the dargah of 13th century, Sufi saint, Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki at Mehrauli, Delhi in a marble enclosure, along with that of Bahadur Shah I (also known as Shah Alam I), and Akbar Shah II.

We are not here to affix blame today. However, we are charged with the general supervision of schools in West Virginia and we think the people of West Virginia deserve to have these problems fixed.
The board determined that in order to fix these problems we needed to head in a new direction with new leadership.
Some of the issues that caused board members to perceive a change was needed are the following:
1. Many members found no sense of urgency in the department to address some of the issues that have been outlined.
2. When discussing concerns, we often were met with excuses and not actions.
3. Too often we were told how things can't change instead of being offered solutions.
4. When current practices were challenged, we often found people being defensive.
Considering everything just outlined in this statement, I believe we needed a change in direction and in order to do that, we needed a change in leadership."

Ferreira dismisses record
Porto head coach Jesualdo Ferreira insists that his side's unbeaten home record against English teams will not give them an advantage against Manchester United. United travel to Portugal for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie with the scores locked at 2-2. The Portuguese champions surprised everyone at Old Trafford with their attacking intent and were fully rewarded by claiming two priceless away goals. Porto have the psychological advantage of knowing that no English side has beaten them on their own patch but their manager does not think that the record will make a difference. "Only two or three players in this team played against English teams in the past so there is no meaning for the history between Porto and the English teams," he said. "I think our expectations are exactly the same as before. "Porto will play to win and wants to win but we don't have more expectations than last week. "Our expectations are high and we have exactly the same expectations as before."

Russia's strategic aviation to conduct 6 exercises in August
Topic: Russian Arctic mission
Units of the 37th Air Army of the Strategic Command will conduct a total of six tactical exercises in August as part of an annual training program, the ministry said in a statement.
"During the exercises, strategic bombers will test launch cruise missiles, conduct simulated bombing raids, and fly over the North Pole, the Pacific and Atlantic oceans," the statement said.
The exercises will involve Tu-160 Blackjack and Tu-95MS Bear-H strategic bombers, and Tu-22M3 Backfire-C theater bombers - the mainstay of the air component of Russia's strategic nuclear triad.
According to various sources, the Russian Air Force currently deploys 141 Tu-22M3 bombers, 40 Tu-95MS bombers, and 14 Tu-160 planes.
Lieutenant General Igor Khvorov, the newly appointed chief of the Air Force Main Staff, said in March that Russia's strategic aviation had sufficient potential to suppress elements of a U.S. missile defense shield should it be deployed in Central Europe.

A possible explanation of the apparent disrepency between the theoretical prediction and experimental measurement of the ratio of lifetimes $\tau(\Lambda_b)/\tau(B_d)$ is that ``spectator effects'', which appear at $O(1/m_b^3)$ in the heavy quark expansion, contribute significantly. We investigate this possibility by computing the corresponding operator matrix elements in a lattice simulation. We find that spectator effects are indeed significant, but do not appear to be sufficiently large to account for the full discrepency. We stress, however, that this is an exploratory study, and it is important to check our conclusions on a larger lattice and using a larger sample of gluon configurations.

An avid walker, Monica Geier often passed the Douglas County Historical Society's Library Archives Center on her outings. One day she peeked in to find out more about the organization — and ended up a volunteer for more than 30 years.
Often putting in four or more hours every weekday, she scoured newspapers for mentions of notable Omahans. She would clip the articles and put them into an acid-free file for future use. The files now number in the thousands and are regularly used by students, researchers and visitors to the Library Archives Center.
Geier continued to clip until her last week of life. Even when she could no longer make the trip to historical society, her son, Dan Geier of Omaha, delivered the newspapers to her and then returned with the clippings.
Geier passed away Nov. 21 at age 92 at her home in Seven Oaks in the Florence area. Her memorial service was Tuesday at St. Philip Neri Catholic Church. Her body was donated to Creighton University.
Monica Manion Geier grew up in Creighton, Neb. After high school, she attended school in Chicago, learning the typing and shorthand skills she would later use while working with court reporters. She found work in Kansas City — and met her future husband, Lee Geier. His military service brought the couple to Omaha, where they raised their family.
"Mom was a very principled woman," recalled son Dan Geier of Omaha. "Mom refused to work outside of the house because she had eight kids to raise."
So she worked from home, typing for court reporters. When she retired from that work, she started her volunteer service at the historical society.
Dan Geier recalled a time when his mother was 89 and still up on a ladder filing at the archives center. When a worried worker approached and asked if she could help her with anything, his mother replied, "You can get me some more files."
He said his mother also had a passion for sports and was a fierce supporter of her children's sporting events; her husband was often the coach. Dan Geier described his mother as a huge Creighton basketball fan who attended games into her 90s.
After losing her spouse of 67 years, she moved two years ago to Seven Oaks, housing for senior citizens created in the renovated convent of the Notre Dame sisters near 36th and State Streets.
Although she endured some struggle in her life, outliving her husband and four of her eight children, her son said her spirit was strong. "She never complained."
In addition to son Dan, survivors include children Kathy Geier, Barbara Gatrost and David Geier; 8 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.

Blizzard Power 800 Suspension IQ (2014)
The returning Power 800 isn't a big seller, but Blizzard says it's a particular favorite of instructors, who love it for precision carving at speed on groomers. With it's quick, carvy 72-mm waist, it's identical in shape and construction to the R-Power. The only difference is it gets a simplified version of Marker's Suspension vibration dampening system, with carbon-reinforced flex-management arms extending forward-only from the binding, rather than fore and aft. The three-model Power series - beloved in Europe, though less popular in freeride-oriented North America - is built for speed-loving carve technicians. The three models in the line are all feature-rich - "the most technology we can jam into a ski," says Blizzard - and commensurately expensive. They're traditional high-performance constructions, with wood cores for snap and integrity, vertical sidewalls for maxium edge grip, and metal reinforcement for power and supple calm at the highest speeds on the hardest snow. All Power series models are offered only as systems, complete with 12-DIN Marker bindings. The binding systems all feature Marker's Suspension technology: carbon-reinforced flex-management arms extending fore and aft of the binding (in the Full Suspension version; just forward in the stripped down Suspension version) and fixed underfoot in an oil-filled piston that quiets the ski between turns so that the new edge engages sooner in the new turn.

Where Will Mats Sundin End Up?: The Top Five Teams That Could Use His Services
By Scott Miller ,
Mats Sundin is one of the many players that are still looking for a place to play next season. But what teams could use the 38-year-old Swede?
The Toronto Maple Leafs' all-time leading goal and point scorer ended his 13-year career with the Leafs when he signed a one-year deal with the Vancouver Canucks last year.
However, he signed midseason and only played the latter half of the 2008-09 season.
Despite being a consistent point-producer during his time with the Leafs (he had at least 70 or more points in 12 of his 13 seasons and led in points in every season but one), he was unable to find that same touch with the Canucks.
In 41 games, he scored only nine goals and finished with 28 points. His plus/minus was also a minus-five.
Even though he was less than successful in Vancouver, I think that if Sundin were to find the right team, he could have at least one more good season before he retires.
The following are some teams that can afford him (if he were to be paid $5 million like last year, although it is clear he deserves far less after his performance this past season) and that could use some veteran leadership and some added offense.
The fact that the Buffalo Sabres were in the upper half of the league for goals scored (12th in the league) and missed the playoffs by only a few points is why I think the addition of Sundin could improve their team enough to make the playoffs.
The Sabres have a number of notable scorers, such as Derek Roy (leading scorer), Jason Pominville, and Thomas Vanek (who notched 40 goals this past season).
I think if Sundin could find his old form again, he could contribute at least 50 points, which could be just enough to take the Sabres into the playoffs.
Considering they were the worst team in the NHL last season, it is unlikely the Islanders will be making the playoffs in the 2009-10 season.
So what use could Sundin have to them?
Well, with superstar John Tavares on the way, it looks like New York has a top-line center for the future. If they were to sign Sundin, he could be a mentor to Tavares and other young players on the Islanders, such as Josh Bailey and Kyle Okposo.
Sundin could again add offense to this team, which finished second to last in league scoring. Even if he were around for just one year, he could make it a bit less frustrating and difficult season for the Islanders' players and fans.
Although it may not make sense to add a player that is near retirement to a team that is in the process of rebuilding, I believe Sundin joining New York would do more good than bad.
As I mentioned in the past slide, the Islanders finished second to last in league scoring this past season. But which team finished dead last?
You guessed it.
The Colorado Avalanche scored fewer goals than any other team in the NHL, and with Ryan Smyth being traded to L.A., it could be even more of a challenge for the Avalanche to put pucks in the net.
Also, with Joe Sakic being injured most of last season, the Avalanche lacked leadership and point production. With his retirement, it won't get much better.
With Sundin added to the mix, he could provide this leadership and scoring (although I understand he is no Sakic in either category).
Much like the Islanders, the Avalanche are currently rebuilding, and signing Sundin could be seen as doing the opposite of what they want, but I still think it would be beneficial to the team.
Even though the Nashville Predators finished 24th in the league for goals scored, they only missed the playoffs by a few points.
The Predators only had one player who scored more than 25 goals this season (Jason Arnott—33) and just one player who had more than 60 points (J.P. Dumont—65).
Like the Sabres, Sundin could be the player that gains them that extra offense and puts them into the playoffs.
Of all the teams in the NHL, I think that the Columbus Blue Jackets could use Mats Sundin the most.
Why is that?
Well, they need a top-line center. I may sound crazy to still be giving such a title to Sundin after his stint with the Canucks, but I truly believe a fresh start could bring him to his old form (or close to it) for one more year.
Other centers on the team include Antoine Vermette, R.J. Umberger, Manny Malhotra, and Derrick Brassard (only played 31 games due to a dislocated shoulder). The highest scorer of these players was Umberger, who scored 26 goals and finished with 46 points in 82 games.
If Sundin were to become a Blue Jacket and join left winger Rick Nash (who scored 40 goals this past season) on a line, the results could be spectacular.
Sundin's playmaking skills combined with Nash's natural goal-scoring ability could make for enough offense to not only make it into the playoffs, but also to actually win the franchise's first playoff series (or playoff game, for that matter).

A mentally ill Oklahoma City man fatally shot his mother, dismembered her corpse and stored some of her body parts in a freezer at her home, prosecutors allege.
Oklahoma City man accused of killing, dismembering mother
Police discovered the grisly scene when officers arrested Gerald David Hume last week after an 11-hour standoff.
Hume, 52, was arrested about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday when police officers forced their way into his mother's home at 11000 S Bryant Ave.
He was charged Monday in Cleveland County District Court with first-degree murder, desecration of a body and two felony counts of pointing a firearm.
The victim was identified as Janet Kay Hume, 77.
During the standoff, Gerald Hume admitted to a police negotiator that he had shot his mother in the chest, police Detective Ryan Porter reported in a court affidavit filed with the charge.
Gerald Hume was described by a relative as "a known schizophrenic" who hears voices and requires treatment, police Detective David Jacobson reported in an affidavit for a search warrant.
Items seized
District Attorney Greg Mashburn confirmed some of Janet Hume's body parts and a dead house cat were found in a freezer inside the home.
Detective Porter reported in the court affidavit said the victim was found in a bedroom.
The affidavit does not describe her condition. Gerald Hume was living with his mother.
Police seized from the home a serrated kitchen knife, a reciprocating saw and a Whirlpool freezer, according to an inventory of the search.
Police also removed a pair of black safety glasses with blood on them and a trash bag with bloodstained, "cutup" women's clothing.
Hundreds of rounds of ammunition, rifles and handguns also were taken from the house, the inventory shows.
Police said a dog was taken from the house, as well. Catherine English, manager of the Oklahoma City Animal Shelter, said the dog was released to Janet Hume's relatives.
Mashburn discredited speculation that the victim's body parts had been fed to the dog.
"I haven't been told anything like that," the prosecutor said.
Janet Hume died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to Amy Elliott, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office.
The spokeswoman would not comment on the condition of the victim's body.
The murder charge filed Monday indicates she was shot sometime between Nov. 5 and Wednesday.
Police reported Janet Hume left work early Nov. 5 and never returned.
Three days later, relatives of the victim began trying to reach her by phone after they hadn't heard from her.

New study from research group finds PlayStation 3 owners in US in 2012 spent majority of their time with video services, not games.
PlayStation 3 owners in 2012 spent more time with non-gaming media services than they did actually playing games, according to a new Nielsen study based on responses from more than 2,500 consumers in the United States.
The research group found that video-on-demand and streaming viewing through PS3 jumped from 15 percent to 24 percent for the year. Add to that time spent watching DVDs/Blu-rays (15 percent), watching downloaded movies/TV shows (4 percent), and all other uses (8 percent), and PS3 owners in 2012 actually spent most of their time not playing games through the console.
The study found PS3 gamers spent 28 percent of their time playing offline video games and 18 percent playing online games. Overall, PS3 owners spent 46 percent of their time in 2012 playing games and 54 percent with non-gaming media services.
Video streaming was most popular on Wii, accounting for 32 percent of time spent on the platform. Microsoft came in last for video streaming, with users spending 13 percent of their time watching on-demand content through the system. The PS3 was the only platform to see gains in video-on-demand viewing.
Overall, video-on-demand and streaming viewership across Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii stood at 22 percent, up from 19 percent a year earlier.
