Barca is, like always, going to be the team to beat.
I'm very excited about these recent rumors of Torres coming to Liverpool. Hopefully he can do the job!
Looks like they are trying to bring back Anelka.
It would be a very smart move by Wenger.
Are you guys really excited about Torres? It is my opinion that he's a little overrated... You guys should be fighting for the services of Carlitos Tevez IMHO....
As an aside I feel the need to express my love to Liverpool's midfield consisting of Gerard, Xabi Alonso, & Mascherano. Those 3 are ****ing studs!!!
Hey Eurosnobs, no commentary on the Gold Cup final?
Well I'm no eurosnob, but I'll chime in anyway that was a great final had me at the edge of my seat all game the penalty call is debatable like pretty much any penalty call.
That Feilhaber strike was world class in any league and Sanchez was terrific for Mexico and Howard made that clutch save on Boffo.
Beasley has no finishing touch whatsoever and Ching battled all game.
very nice Win by the USMNT, even though I felt Canada got screwed over bigtime.
and Krudmonk your over at BS now too.
Yes, I am excited about Torres, but I don't think he is worth more 20M pounds let alone 27M.
If he doesn't have an attitude like Cisse or Bellamy, then Benitez should be able to get the best out of him.
As for Carlito Tevez, we might sign both Torres and Tevez!!! Ya never know. Seriously, if Torres goes for 25M+, then Tevez would be out of the question.

text: A Texas-raised but Brooklyn-based alt-country band, the Mastersons are built around the husband-and-wife team of Chris Masterson (guitar and vocals) and Eleanor Whitmore (violin and vocals). Both Masterson and Whitmore were seasoned touring and recording musicians (Whitmore with Regina Spektor, Bruce Robison, and Kelly Willis and Masterson with Son Volt and Jack Ingram) when they met at a festival in Colorado. A personal and musical bond grew out of that meeting, and they soon found themselves working together in Steve Earle's band, the Dukes and Duchesses. Earle regularly featured the pair in his shows on tour, and the critical and audience reaction they received led to a record deal with New West Records. The Mastersons' debut album, Birds Fly South, appeared in 2012, and featured the duo's joyful but still dark alt-country vision paired with a rhythm section of George Reiff (bass) and Falcon Valdez (drums). ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

I bought this Craftsman hydrolic stool for my workbench and I love it. It was easy to assemble, looks good and has a very solid base. Oh and confortable. The hydrolic seat moves up or down for the perfect level for your needs. The back rest is confortable as well when you need to sit back and think a minute. For the price I dont think you can find anything better. If you have an uneven floor it has ajusters on the butom to make it level. It also comes in different colors but black was the one I needed.

While these chairs are not what they used to be they work for my purposes. I have a bad back and neck so I need to sit and do other things at times. These chairs allow for that.

Stool is sturdy, well built. It is about 4" too high for my work bench, it would be better if it were about 6 inches shorter then you could add wheels. I put Lock-tite on all the bolts. It comes with 2 extra bolts, which is a nice feature, since they are metric. On sale it is worth the money

WINFIELD, W.Va. - For 67 minutes Tuesday's clash between two of Class AAA girls soccer's heavyweights - Winfield and George Washington - appeared headed toward a scoreless draw.
It was in the final 13 minutes, however, that the Generals showed why they are the defending state champions. Winfield scored three times during that span to earn a 3-0 win against the Patriots.
The Generals (6-0-0) outplayed GW (3-0-1) for most of the first half, outshooting the Patriots 5-1 and dominating possession. Generals coach Marshall Hoff said his team initially was out of sorts but calmed down and started making the right decisions on the pitch.
"We were out of our game style a little bit at the beginning and got to banging the ball," he said. "That's a good team so you get excited and get a little bit riding on your mind."
GW, last season's state runner-up to Winfield, appeared to take control of the momentum early in the second half, with multiple chances that ended either one pass short or with a shot wide of the goal.
When GW's attempts to break the tie failed, Winfield's fitness level came into play late as the Generals seemed to have something left in the tank when the Patriot players were showing signs of fatigue. On Winfield's first goal the Generals worked the ball down the left side and played a cross into the goal area. GW goalkeeper Olivia Miller deflected the ball but it bounced to Winfield senior Josee Erlandson, who finished with a soft touch to open the scoring.
"We settled a little bit (early in the game) and conditioning always plays a factor," Hoff said. "Conditioned players are going to make good decisions. We knew we needed to get the ball on the ground and needed to get back into our game style. Once we did some doors started opening."
Less than a minute later GW defender Kasey Ellis was called for a handball in the penalty area, leading to a Jayne Lawman penalty kick that beat Miller to give Winfield a 2-0 advantage. Sophomore MacKenzie Pritt closed the scoring with 1:51 to play with an assist from an Erlandson shot the deflected off the crossbar.

More than 50 people were killed in 24 hours, many of them kidnapped and murdered, allegedly by pro-government militiamen known as Shabiha. Homs and the surrounding province lie on a sectarian fault line with Sunni and Alawite communities side by side.

John Stephen was a British fashion icon of 1960's "Swinging London." Known for his flamboyant and colorful designs, Stephen was the leader of the '60s male "peacock revolution." Dressing the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, Stephen influenced a generation of young males with hip,
eye-catching fashions. His successful chain of shops on Carnaby Street in London dubbed him as "The King of Carnaby," and he soon expanded his franchise throughout London, as well as internationally. Stephen went on to design clothes for celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor and Marlene Dietrich. He died in February 2004.
Early Life
British fashion icon John Stephen was born on August 28, 1934, in Glasgow, Scotland. The sixth of nine children, Stephen was a charismatic child and always had a knack for fashion and design. At the age of 18 he moved to London, working as a waiter and in the military department at Moss Bros. in Convent Garden, where he learned the basics of traditional tailoring. He soon began work as an assistant in a small men's boutique called "Vince," located on Newburgh Street.
Carnaby Street
In 1957, Stephen set up his first shop at No. 5 Carnaby Street. In the 1950s, Britain was facing a post-war graveness, which was reflected in men's clothing. In an effort to stray away from the dull and dreary fashions of the time, Stephen sold vibrant flamboyant clothing in bright colors and floral patterns.
As his imagination grew so did his designs- which included things like mini-kilts, flared velvet jackets and textured fabric, all created by hand in an office in the back of the store. The hit store, known for its bright yellow exterior and blaring pop music, soon started a trend of lively boutiques filled with unique designs and young, attractive staff.
The 'Peacock Revolution'
As the new "King of Carnaby Street," Stephen soon expanded his retail business, opening 15 stores in the area under different names and franchises internationally including in the United States and Rome. Soon it became acceptable for men to spend time and money on their appearance, and Carnaby Street became a hip area for young males. The era, in which men's ostentatious styles became the forefront of fashion, soon became known as the "Peacock Revolution."
Even men's hairstyles became expertly styled, and the preferred body type was long and lean. By the 1960s, Stephen's clothes were being worn by musicians and icons at the forefront of "Swinging London," such as the Rolling Stones and the Who. Stephen dressed the likes of rockers like the Beatles and the Kinks, with psychedelic prints and bold, attention-grabbing garments. In 1967, he began designing women's clothing as well, soon dressing celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor and Marlene Dietrich.
After taking his company public in 1972, Stephen sold it three years later to begin his brand "Franicsco-M," selling fashions from Italy and France, but retired in 2002 due to poor health. He has been honored with several exhibitions, most notably a complete archive in the costume department at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. He died on February 1, 2004.

Terry Lacy's history in Petersburg goes back to 1978, when she opened her jewelry business in Old Towne.
Ladysmith specialized in handcrafted gold and silver jewelry. Lacy repaired, designed and made jewelry by commission. The business is still active, and is now located in her Chester studio.
Lacy has been an artist most of her life, and has worked in many mediums. In 1990, she was influenced by the work of her friend, local artist Faye Henderson. Lacy began taking watercolor lessons from Henderson and thus began her 22-year - so far - painting career.
Lacy's work has evolved through the years; watercolor led to acrylics, and then to oil painting on canvas. The subject matter has also changed throughout her career, and now is based mostly around portraits.
This has become Lacy's great challenge: To not only paint a good likeness, but capture the spirit of her subject, and make it a good painting. Interaction and relationships are important in works featuring more than one subject.
Lacy's painting style would be considered representational, and bold color and contrast are ever present in the paintings.
The artist is affected and influenced by events in her life. Lacy often has a camera with her to capture certain moments that later become the subjects of paintings.
Common subjects include family members and her dogs. Women in all phases of life are a recurring theme, as Lacy relates to their moods, emotions and attitudes. Women are complex characters, and Lacy enjoys painting their beauty, strength, vulnerability, sassiness and joy.
Through the years, Lacyy has attended many painting classes and workshops, which help to keep her inspired and on a path to growth as an artist. She has shown her work throughout the area, occasionally winning prizes and special recognition. The most cherished award came in 2001 as a Best in Show winner during a Richmond Watercolorists Exhibit, judged by Skip Lawrence1.
Lacy is a member of the Petersburg Area Art League, Chesterfield Artists Association, Visual Arts Center, Crossroads Gallery and Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
She intends to continue the exploration of faces and figures in their relative landscapes. The challenge is formidable enough to last many years. She does commissioned portraits of humans and their animals.
Lacy may be reached at Ladysmith, 804-796-6875, or by email, firstname.lastname@example.com.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am disappointed in this school. Although the teachers seem to keep the best in mind for their students, the resorces are very limited and money is being directed into the wrong choices. There is no music program. The extracurricular activities are non-existant. I feel my children would do better being home schooled. Low test scores. Has the district given up on this school? Safety has become an important issue this year too. Overall, I am looking to get my kids out of Azusa schools before their education gets worse.

Money Savin' Mama: Don't let your tech wants become expensive 'needs'
I've always been behind the technological curve. My family didn't own a VCR until 1991. I listened to cassette tapes into the mid '90s. I didn't have cable TV or a DVD player till college, or my own computer until 2004.By: Sherri Richards, INFORUM

Part of the Mad Men Moments Video Essay Series
Click here to watch this video on your mobile device.
5. Peggy and Joan, (4.13: Tomorrowland)
This scene, full of small pleasures, takes off when Joan becomes Peggy's safe place on a bad day. "Whatever could be on your mind," she purrs. - Anne B
4. Don and Peggy hold hands (4.07: The Suitcase)
If actions speak louder than words...if three years of previous build-up lead to one glorious culmination...that is the pinnacle of this episode's (and for that matter, this season's) denouement: never was a simple gesture so fraught with dimensionality of meaning as when Dick Whitman places his hand on top of Peggy Olson's. - Peg4Prez
3. "Open the drawer" (3.11: The Gypsy and the Hobo)
The Don/Betty game changer. Just when you think Don's about to run away with Suzanne, the woman of his dreams, Betty makes it crystal clear that he'll never outrun his past. It's shocking -- in a good way -- to see Don suddenly so helpless and small. - Andee Joyce, aka Meowser
2. "I Wanted Other Things" (2.13: Meditations in an Emergency)
The writers' words often carry several shades of meaning on Mad Men, and this is one instance. "Well, one day you're there, and then all of a sudden, there's less of you, and you wonder where that part went, if it's living somewhere outside of you, and you keep thinking maybe you'll get it back, and then you realize it's just gone." At first, we wonder if Peggy is talking about the baby, coming as it does on the heels of her confession. Then we understand she's referring to her own feelings for Pete—she "wanted something different". And then, a deeper echo of truth—there is a cost to moving forward, and it's not just giving up a piece of the past. The weight of her words is crushing, almost cruelly made lighter by the tenderness of her touch across Pete's shoulder as she leaves. - Mitch Virchick
1. Carousel (1.13: The Wheel)
Everybody loves this scene. Don's pitch leaves the men from Kodak speechless. The scene serves the show, tapping into the right plot points, but what really makes it work isn't on the screen. It's our own set of life-shots, inserted into the projector's circular slide tray, in our mind's-eye. Brilliant! - SmilerG
Deborah Lipp is the co-owner of Basket of Kisses (hyperlink), whose motto is "smart discussion about smart television." She is the author of six books, including "The Ultimate James Bond Fan Book."
Brandon | March 23, 2012 5:05 PM
Great moments, all of them worthy of the top 5. However, another one comes to mind, which I think could have easily been included. It's when Bert forces Don to sign his contract. "Would you say I know something about you?" Bert asks. He adds: "Who's really signing it anyway." Clever writing, powerful scene.
Anon | March 23, 2012 10:41 AM
I had heard great things about this series and was planning to rent it to catch up for next season. But, if these are the top 5 moments, I am not going to waste my time. If those are the best, the series must be awful.
TJ | March 23, 2012 8:44 AM
Admission: The Peggy - Pete conversation at the end of Season 2 never worked for me. The episode was still great--mostly for Don reasons. People complained that the Don - Megan thing came out of nowhere, but for me there was enough groundwork laid for that that I believe Don would do that. They never got there for me with Pete in Season 2.

Joe Danger Touch confirmed for iOS this fall
by Alice O'Connor, Jun 27, 2012 3:00pm PDTHello Games today confirmed that Joe Danger Touch, the mobile version of its fine stunt cycle platformer Joe Danger, is preparing to jump over seventeen buses and land on iOS this fall. There's no mention of the Android version the English indie has talked about, though.
Hello says that it's "a totally new game, with new levels, mechanics and everything" and "doesn't use one of those silly virtual joystick things." Good news, that.
Company founder Sean Murray also teased in the press release that the studio's is working on "something awesome we can't announce yet" on top of sequel Joe Danger: The Movie. We've contacted Hello Games to find out what's going on with the Android version, but hadn't heard back by the time we pressed the big red "Put this on the Internet" button.

Arbitrage Asymmetry and the Idiosyncratic Volatility PuzzleRobert F. StambaughUniversity of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Jianfeng YuUniversity of Minnesota Yu YuanShanghai Advanced Institute of Finance; University of Pennsylvania - Wharton Financial Institutions Center January 9, 2013 Abstract: Short selling, as compared to purchasing, faces greater risks and other potential impediments. This arbitrage asymmetry explains the negative relation between idiosyncratic volatility (IVOL) and average return. The IVOL effect is negative among overpriced stocks but positive among underpriced stocks, with mispricing determined by combining 11 return anomalies. The negative effect is stronger, consistent with asymmetry in risks and other impediments inhibiting arbitrageurs in exploiting overpricing. Aggregating across all stocks therefore yields a negative relation, explaining the IVOL puzzle. Further supporting our explanation is a negative relation over time between the IVOL effect and investor sentiment, especially among overpriced stocks.

Local Atmosphere: Most of the bars I have been to have been consumed by college students so I am not sure how it would be if I weren't a student.
Local Atmosphere: Pretty normal suburban neighborhood. Overall nice safe feeling.
Local Atmosphere: We live in a dead city.
Local Atmosphere: Lots of things to do offcampus in the day time - tons of shows and performances, most of them free to students. Food is pretty good in Midtown (where the Eastman school is), not as much variety as in a bigger city but there are still a good amount of options. There is also the flagship Wegman's which is beautiful. Seriously, you have to go. Getting around is pretty easy, the UR buses are really reliable and come on time even in winter. There's also an app to track them which is useful. The buses stop in neighborhoods where students live offcampus which makes it really convenient. Nightlife is kind of split - if you're not 21 there's not much. You can get in to UR sponsored club parties but can't drink or anything like that, which is kind of obvious. The bridge is not the safest at night, some robberies have happened so please go with a friend when you take it! Other than that, Rochester is a pretty safe place.
Local Atmosphere: Rochester has seen better days. I could only see myself staying here as a professor.

We haven't gathered enough student surveys yet to rank this school. If you are a student at this school, help out and take the college student survey!
Written by Dave Levy
Considering the enormous amount of college students in the area, there isn't a specific area where you will find a concentration of college students. The city of Rochester is 5 or 10 minutes away from campus, and 20 by bus, so having a car comes in handy. Eastman School of Music students have the city at their fingertips, and there are some good coffee shops and restaurants there, but for the most part the city is fairly quiet; everything tends to close early. East Avenue and the Gibbs Street area have the coffee shops and theaters, and down Alexander Street are some nicer restaurants and bars. Down in the St. Paul area are some clubs as well.
There are about seven suburbs of Rochester that surround the campus and the city. Henrietta in particular has tons of stores, malls, and restaurants as well, but they tend to be more of the franchised businesses, which is convenient if you need big-box outlets like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, or mall stores. A lot of the suburbs outside the campus are just quiet residential. If you go a few hours in any direction, however, you can find some fun. Niagara Falls is only an hour and half away, and Toronto is a few hours away. Students tend to like going up to the Falls for a night-it's a fun day or night trip. Being in upstate New York with lots of colleges around also has its advantages. If there are concerts or people you know, you can hop down and visit easily as well.

Right now, you can simulate the I/O from an FPGA target. Timing features and other hardware-specific VIs are not executed, but the code still functions and allows you to debug certain aspects of it without working through the compile process. It would be similarly helpful if you could simulate the real-time controller, or a cRIO in scan mode, with simulated IO. Again, the resultant VI will not be truly realtime, but it would allow useful development without having constant access to the cRIO.
We have done some exploration of this idea, and are interested in learning more about customer requirements.
- Would everyone need access to shared variables and other network communication from the simulated environment?
- Would everyone need to integrate compiled libraries (necessitating that we run the LabVIEW Real-Time OS under the hood)
- Would everyone be interested in simulating an entire target, or just choosing to run a VI in a LabVIEW project in "simulation mode" (this is similar to LabVIEW FPGA simulation).
Please post your thoughts.
Best Regards,
Casey Weltzin
Product Manager, LabVIEW Real-Time

Twins Interested in Russ Springer?
I was doing my
Live Chat last night, someone asked me about available relievers still
on the market, and if I thought the Twins should be interested in any of them.
Here is one part of my response to that question, "Russ Springer had a great year, but he's over 40 and would cost a
draft pick, so that makes no sense..."
couple of things… found with very minimal research, I found that he turned 40
in November, so will be 40 throughout the 2009 season. And more important, I
found that although he is a Type A free agent, the St.
Louis Cardinals chose not to offer him arbitration, so it would not cost the
team that signs him a draft pick.
completely changes my thoughts on this topic. You see, rumors indicate that
because of his age, Springer will likely have to sign a one year contract.
Secondly, the value of that contract could be between $2 and $3.5 million. If
that is the case, he may be the perfect guy for the Twins for 2009!
made his major league debut way back in 1992 with the Yankees, and since then,
he has also pitched for the Angels, the Phillies, Astros, Braves, Diamondbacks,
Cardinals, Astros (again) and Cardinals (again). In 2007, he threw 66 innings
in 76 appearances and was 8-1 with a 2.18 ERA and a 0.909 WHIP. In 2008, he
pitched in 50.3 innings over 70 games. He went 2-1 with a 2.32 ERA and a 1.13
WHIP. Those are some very impressive numbers. He has pitched in 70 or more
games the last three years, and 62 games in 2005.
since we are likely talking about a one year deal, his age is not a tremendous
concern. He has been working with acclaimed pitching coach Dave Duncan the last two years in St. Louis, and the Twins are
known for taking care of their pitching staff pretty well under Rick Anderson's eye. Springer has
somehow found some durability in his late 30s. There still could be incentives
included in such a deal, and if it would take adding a team option for a second
year, with a reasonable buy out, it could be done as well.
could fully support the Twins signing Russ
Springer, and if what I am hearing is at all accurate, he is the guy that
the Twins are actually targeting right now.
After posting the above Russ
Springer article, I got an e-mail from our friends at Over the Baggy pointing to an
article from TheTownTalk.com,
in Louisiana. It contains some quotes from Springer that are rather
This is obviously regarding teams he is
talking to:
"Some are far enough away, I'm kind of surprised we're
actually considering them," he said. "Kelly and the kids have decided
to come with me for bigger parts of the season after spending hardly any time
with me last season," he said. "So that's kind of allowed me to
spread my area that I'm considering.
"But I've had interest from teams on the West Coast, as far north
about as you can imagine, and Florida," he went on.
"At this point in my career, I want to go somewhere where they have a
chance to win. That's a big part, and certainly where my family would be
comfortable, and the financial part comes in third probably."
Well, Minnesota is pretty
far north, right? The Twins provide a chance to win. The Twin Cities are known
to be family-friendly. And the financial part could be good from the Twins
Also from the article:
"I don't think I'll sign a
multi-year contract," he said. "I'll definitely take it year by year,
and I'm not 100 percent playing this year. But I'm leaning definitely toward
playing this year, and I'm not saying that it will be my last. I'll probably
decide something by the end of the week."
Right in time for Twins Fest!! Remember a year ago, the Twins
signed Justin Morneau and Michael
Cuddyer to long-term contracts to start
Twins Fest. Maybe this year, the big news will be the signing of a new Relief
Any thoughts? Leave
