In Europe, 76 destinations off the beaten path
Looking beyond Rome, Paris or London? Consider Europe's lesser-known destinations, such as Monschau, Germany, a town so quaint you can hardly believe it isn't a theme park or San Marino, one of Europe's oldest and smallest countries (drive through it slowly).

Zurich, Switzerland( Guerin Nicolas )
A walk along the shores of Lake Zurich, to show our daughter the swans, yielded a small street fair nearby, with carnival rides, stands selling wurst and a towering Ferris wheel. Our hike to visit the Lindenhof, where old Zurich's Roman castle once stood, meant we also found (besides more wurst) Chapeau, an outdoor music festival with performers as diverse as brass bands and full rock.
The juicy wurst, which was served with a fist-sized roll and a dollop of spicy mustard, was our culinary mainstay for the three days we were in Zurich, thanks to a weak dollar and a need to safeguard our budget. We had planned to rely on an ample breakfast, courtesy of the Leonardo Rigihof Hotel, where we were staying, and street fare. Which, during Sechseläuten, meant only one thing: wurst. -- Cara Mia DiMassa Read more: Zurich's spring greeting Pictured: The Böögg goes up in flames in Zurich, Switzerland, at the culmination of Sechseläuten, the citys celebration of the arrival of spring. |

The New York Yankees begin a three-game series -- and the second quarter of the 2012 MLB season -- in an uncomfortable position. The Yankees are just 21-20 and find themselves in fourth place in the American League East, five games behind the division-leading Baltimore Orioles and just one game ahead of the last-place Boston Red Sox.
Yes, the AL East seems to have been turned upside down so far in 2012. The Yankees, who have struggled with inconsistent starting pitching and a lack of offense thus far, begin trying to get untracked Monday at Yankee Stadium (7:05 p.m. ET/ YES Network) against the Royals (16-24).
Hiroki Kuroda (3-5, 4.50 ERA) will pitch Monday for the Yankees. Kuroda is 3-1 with a 3.08 ERA at Yankee Stadium this season, but 0-4, 6.23 on the road.
Kansas City will pitch Felipe Paulino (1-1, 1.93).
Here are the pitching matchups for the rest of the series:
- Game 2, Tuesday: Phil Hughes, Yankees (3-5, 5.23) vs. Luke Hochevar (3-4, 7.02)
- Game 3, Wednesday: Andy Pettitte, Yankees (1-1, 2.51) vs. Luis Mendoza (2-2, 5.03).
First baseman Billy Butler (.297/8/31) leads the Kansas City offense.

He's called 'Sleep Well' bear for a reason. He's certain to help your little one rest comfortably and securely through the night.
Material: Plush
Care: Machine washable
Brand: Steiff
Origin: Germany
Who knows children's toys better than the inventors of the teddy bear? Steiff, the world's oldest plush manufacturer (and the company best known for creating the teddy bear) was founded in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, a seamstress who, due to polio, was limited to sewing with one hand. The famous "Button in Ear" trademark was introduced in 1904 by Franz Steiff, Margarete's nephew, distinguishing every Steiff toy. While nearly all of the world's stuffed animals is made with inexpensive knitted plush, Steiff's creations are made from cuddly soft materials like woven fur, so you can be sure your tot is getting the very best.

The Connecticut school shooting has lawmakers everywhere taking a closer look at gun control laws. Some are proposing major restrictions that are being called unconstitutional.
News 9 spoke with Oklahoma lawmakers on the issue on Monday.
Gun stores in Oklahoma City are filling up as lawmakers take aim at certain firearms in the wake of the Connecticut school shooting.
"We know it's coming. We all know it's coming," says Miles Hall, owner of H&H Shooting Sports Complex, about the rush of concerned customers.
Meanwhile, lawmakers in Oklahoma say little will change with gun control in Oklahoma.
"I don't see anyone in the Oklahoma legislature trying to introduce such non-sense," said State Representative Mike Reynolds, (R) Oklahoma City.
In the wake of Friday's shooting, State Rep. Mark McCullough from Creek and Tulsa counties is proposing legislature that will give teachers and principals the right to carry a gun in the classroom.
12/17/2012 Related Story: Oklahoma Lawmaker To Propose Legislation Allowing Teachers, Principals To Carry Guns At Schools
McCoullough calls schools, "soft targets."
The idea of arming teachers was Okayed in Texas at one small school district in 2008.
U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein from California says she will now introduce new gun control legislation banning guns with big clips, drums or strips of more than ten bullets.

Law enforcement agents working on information that a large amount of marijuana plants were being produced at a Midland City home obtained a warrant and seized the illegal drugs and other items.
The investigation began on June 26 and focused on a house on Dale County Road 63. While observing the house, investigators noticed several marijuana plants outside on the property.
Armed with a warrant, the agents moved into the house and found more than 550 marijuana plants, multiple firearms, drug manufacturing equipment and drug paraphernalia.
The homeowner was later identified as Richard Bryan Parrish. He's currently wanted by the Wiregrass Violent Crime Drug Task Force for trafficking marijuana and for violations after being forbidden to carry a pistol.
Anyone with information that could help catch Parrish is asked to call Dale County E911 at 334-774-5111, the Dale County Sheriff's Office at 334-774-2335/3114, or the Wiregrass Violent Crime Drug Task Force at 334-774-0482.

"I thought we played really well for about 17 minutes in the first half and then just relaxed a little bit," Downey said. "Then we pushed it back out, they changed some defenses on us, and we just didn't go take it. And then we just did everything we could to give it away in the last minute.
"We just didn't finish the game like we were supposed to - we got lucky. This time of year you survive and you move on."
Missed 3-pointers were much of the story for Glenville as the Pioneers hit just 7-of-27 and consistently came up empty on potentially momentum-swinging treys.
The young Pioneers (11-14, 7-13) have lost eight of 10 games and are dealing with a roster with just one senior and 10 freshmen.
"We're a young team," Dye said. "The guys that win most of those games are teams that have seniors or guys that have been there three or four years.
"We're getting there, we're getting better. It's going to happen for us and maybe what we're going through now is setting us up for when the conference tournament comes and maybe those shots will fall. Maybe we'll make a run at this thing when most people don't think we can."
Aside from Lipkins' mental meltdown late, he kept UC afloat, going for 20 points and a game-best 11 rebounds from his point guard position.
Lipkins added four assists and committed six turnovers, but rest assured no one in Eddie King Gym was more relieved to see the final 3 roll out than he was.
"Oh, man," Lipkins said. "I thought it was good for a second. I was so happy when it rolled off. We shouldn't have left him open."
Aleksander Kesic and Robbie Dreher added 12 points apiece for UC. Lamont Cole matched Lipkins' 20 points for Glenville and Morris chipped in with 19 and Blanks 13.

Obama Doctrine
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (March 2011) |
The Obama Doctrine is a term frequently used to describe one or several unifying principles of the foreign policy of U.S. President Barack Obama. Unlike the Monroe Doctrine, the Obama Doctrine is not a specific foreign policy introduced by the executive, but rather a phrase used to describe Obama's general style of foreign policy. This has left journalists and political commentators to speculate on what the exact tenets of an Obama Doctrine might look like. Generally speaking, it is widely, yet erroneously accepted that a central part of such a doctrine would emphasize negotiation and collaboration rather than confrontation and unilateralism in international affairs.[1][2] This policy has been praised by some as a welcome change from the equally interventionist Bush Doctrine.[3][4] Supporters of Obama's unilateral policies such as targeted killings of American citizens including former United States Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, have described it as overly idealistic and naïve, promoting appeasement of the USA's enemies.[5][6] Others have drawn attention to its radical departure in tone from not only the policies of the Bush administration but many former presidents as well.[6][7]
The term "Obama Doctrine" was used long before the start of Obama's presidency, while he was still only a candidate in the Democratic primaries. In an article in The Providence Journal from August 28, 2007, James Kirchick used the term in a derogatory sense, and argued that the Obama Doctrine could be summarised as: "The United States will remain impassive in the face of genocide." This critique was based on an interview Obama had given to the Associated Press on July 21, where he said that "the United States cannot use its military to solve humanitarian problems" and that "preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn't a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there."[8] Hilary Bok, guest-blogging for Andrew Sullivan at The Atlantic's The Daily Dish, refuted Kirchick's representation of Obama's foreign policy views as a distortion. Bok pointed to Obama's use of anti-genocide activist Samantha Power as a political adviser, and to several interviews the candidate had given expressing concern for the situation in Darfur and elsewhere.[9] Later, in a presidential debate with John McCain, Obama stated that the U.S. occasionally would have to "consider it as part of our interests" to carry out humanitarian interventions.[10]
Later in the campaign, when asked the question about himself at one of the Democratic presidential debates in March, Obama answered that his doctrine was "not going to be as doctrinaire as the Bush doctrine, because the world is complicated." He added that the United States would have to "view our security in terms of a common security and a common prosperity with other peoples and other countries."[11] Later this doctrine was elaborated on as "a doctrine that first ends the politics of fear and then moves beyond a hollow, sloganeering 'democracy promotion' agenda in favor of 'dignity promotion,'" that would target the conditions that promoted anti-Americanism and prevented democracy.[12] This policy was quickly criticized by Dean Barnett of The Weekly Standard as naïve. Barnett argued that it was not a "climate of fear" that lay behind Islamic extremism, but "something more malicious".[13]
Then-President George W. Bush, in a May 2008 speech at the Knesset, likened direct negotiations with Iran, or terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah, to attempts at "appeasement" of Nazi Germany in the late 1930s. The comments were interpreted by some in the media, as well as by Obama himself, as a direct criticism of Obama.[14] Obama called the comments "a false political attack", and added that "George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists," while Senator Joe Biden, Obama's running mate, said that Bush's comments were "demeaning to the presidency of the United States of America".[15] Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino, pressed for a clarification, stated that Bush's comments were "not specifically pointed to one individual," and that "all of you who cover these issues... have known that there are many who have suggested these types of negotiations".[16]
In 2008, the term "Obama Doctrine" was used by Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times in a comment on a speech given by then-Senator Obama at the Woodrow Wilson Center on July 15. Here Obama listed the five pillars of his foreign policy, should he be elected:[17]
I will focus this strategy on five goals essential to making America safer: ending the war in Iraq responsibly; finishing the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban; securing all nuclear weapons and materials from terrorists and rogue states; achieving true energy security; and rebuilding our alliances to meet the challenges of the 21st century,
Sweet pointed out that these ideas were a reiteration of the essay "Renewing American Leadership," that Obama had written for Foreign Affairs magazine in the summer of 2007.[18]
As president[edit]
Not long after Obama's inauguration on January 20, 2009, commentators began to speculate on the emergence of a distinct Obama Doctrine in action. A proposal to close the American detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, the rejection of the phrase "Global War on Terror", and the reconciliation with Russia through the abandonment of the anti-ballistic missile program in Poland and the Czech Republic, were taken as clear signs of a reversal of the principles of the Bush administration.[19] Critics, such as Pat Buchanan, quickly derided these policies and criticized them for weakening the United States' foreign relations. In an op-ed, Buchanan argued that Obama was "ceding moral high ground to regimes and nations that do not deserve it."[20]
In early April 2009, Marc Ambinder predicted that the president with time would have to take a more pragmatic stance on the legal status of detainees.[21] Meanwhile professor of international politics Daniel Drezner suggested the Obama Doctrine was influenced by French philosopher Montesquieu, whose thinking in Drezner's words could be crudely summarised "useless conflicts weaken necessary conflicts." The Obama Doctrine, in Drezner's interpretation, was to abandon foreign policies that had proven fruitless and unpopular, in order to focus on more important and pressing issues.[22] On April 16, E.J. Dionne wrote a column for The Washington Post expressing a highly positive view of what he saw as the Obama Doctrine. The column came in the direct aftermath of the successful rescue of Captain Richard Phillips from Somali pirates. He defined the doctrine as "a form of realism unafraid to deploy American power but mindful that its use must be tempered by practical limits and a dose of self-awareness."[23] Dionne also pointed to the influence Reinhold Niebuhr has on Obama, and quoted Niebuhr's warning that some of "the greatest perils to democracy arise from the fanaticism of moral idealists who are not conscious of the corruption of self-interest" and that a "nation with an inordinate degree of political power is doubly tempted to exceed the bounds of historical possibilities."[23]
Later that month, at the Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago, the President was again asked the question he was asked during the campaign, of defining the Obama Doctrine. The President replied that "the United States remains the most powerful, wealthiest nation on Earth, but we're only one nation, and that the problems that we confront, whether it's drug cartels, climate change, terrorism, you name it, can't be solved just by one country."[24] In addition, President Obama expressed a desire for the United States to seek friendship with all, harkening back to Franklin Delano Roosevelt's "Good Neighbor Policy." "I pledge to you that we seek an equal partnership. There is no senior partner and junior partner in our relations," he said. "There is simply engagement based on mutual respect and common interests and shared values."[25] Political policy analysts such as Ray Walser lamented this stance, arguing that portraying America as "equal" among the nations of the world would reduce its global stature.[26]
Obama later elaborated on his foreign policy views, particularly relating to Muslim countries, in a high-profile speech given at Cairo University in June, where he called for reform of undemocratic countries from within.[27] Obama's efforts to improve foreign relations received praise even from former Republican Senator Chuck Hagel. Meanwhile, foreign policy analyst Reginald Dale, believed the President's policy of reconciliation had weakened the country in relation to other countries, such as Russia, China and North Korea.[28] The even-handed treatment of all countries was also critiqued by some conservative critics,[29] noting in particular that in calling for all nuclear weapons to be turned aside Obama had placed US and Israeli nuclear programs on the same moral level as Iran's alleged weapons plans.[30] There was also concern that Obama did not specifically identify terrorists as a common risk to the US and the Middle East.[29] Others criticized Obama for the lack of a well-defined doctrine. Charles Krauthammer said that "I would say his vision of the world appears to me to be so naïve that I am not even sure he's able to develop a doctrine."[31] Anders Stephanson, professor of history at Columbia University, coming from a different perspective, argued that an overly pragmatic foreign policy, and the absence of an overarching ideology could facilitate the return of a simplified American exceptionalism policy at a later point.[32]
The question of the Obama Doctrine once more came to the fore in connection with his acceptance speech at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo in December 2009. The awarding of the peace prize drew a mixture of praise and criticism from all sides of the political spectrum.[33] Obama took the opportunity of the speech to address some of this criticism, and argue for the occasional use of force in international relations. "To say that force is sometimes necessary is not a call to cynicism -- it is a recognition of history; the imperfections of man and the limits of reason," he said.[34] According to John Dickerson of Slate, the President silenced his conservative critics who have labelled him as weak, while maintaining an insistence on diplomatic engagement.[35] The speech was generally well received, and was praised by conservative figures in American politics, including Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and John Boehner.[36]
Following the February 2011 revolution in Egypt, Harvard professor Niall Ferguson argued that President Obama's strategic thinking failed to understand the events in the region, writing: "I can think of no more damning indictment of the administration's strategic thinking than this: it never once considered a scenario in which [Egyptian President] Mubarak faced a popular revolt ... All the president and his NSC team seem to have done is to draft touchy-feely speeches like the one he delivered in Cairo early in his presidency."[37]
National Security Strategy[edit]
In May 2010, the Obama administration issued a report outlining its National Security Strategy (which is periodically reviewed by the administration in power). The document called for more global engagement and sought to counter fears that the US is at war with Islam. It dropped the Bush era controversy over language such as the phrase "global war on terror" and reference to "Islamic extremism," adding that "The United States is waging a global campaign against al-Qaeda and its terrorist affiliates. Yet this is not a global war against a tactic - terrorism, or a religion - Islam. We are at war with a specific network, al-Qaeda, and its terrorist affiliates." It also called for engagement with "hostile nations," closer relations with China and India, and a focus on strengthening the US economy.
Hillary Clinton, his secretary of state, called democracy and human rights central to the strategy, adding that "We cannot sustain this level of deficit financing and debt without losing our influence, without being constrained about the tough decisions we have to make."[38]
The document was viewed skeptically in the Muslim world. Pakistan's Dawn newspaper had an editorial saying that the document gives "room to express scepticism over the new doctrine because we still see the US acting as the world's policeman. Mr Obama's statement that 'the US must reserve the right to act unilaterally if necessary to defend our nation and our interests' is a clear indication that the US has not abandoned its war doctrine as such....Human rights violations committed by the US are countless."[39] An Al Jazeera English blog post said the document "highlights the emphasis and priorities of each president depending on his worldview and US domestic and international standing," though it added that,[40]
A quick review of the National Security Strategy of his predecessors Clinton and Bush, for example, underlines the similarities in structuring and phrasing such documents....The bottom line for the US establishment over the last few decades has remained the same despite (or as a result of) major international transformations. In each and every NSS we are to conclude that isolationism is bad for security and protectionism is terrible for prosperity. Expect the US to go beyond its borders to dominate new frontiers - not only geographically, militarily or economically as a traditional empire, but also cyber, space and other technological frontiers.
Within the US, critics have further picked away at the administration's policies. James Carafano of The Heritage Foundation noted that Obama's stance is marked by "an overwhelming desire to substitute soft power for hard power" and that the president "has no strategy for when the other side chooses not to cooperate, as in the case of Iran."[41] A Washington Times editorial criticized the president's strategy, stating that it should not be "some kind of outreach initiative, it is the framing document for America's global safety. The United States cannot effectively combat the root causes of Islamic extremism by ignoring them."[42] On October 2011, Frederick and Kimberly Kagan, writing in the Weekly Standard referred to the Obama Doctrine as "American retreat".[43] This followed the removal of American military forces from Iraq, and the administrations failure to reach goals stated in 2009 regarding the withdrawal of those forces.[43] This view is shared by Fouad Ajami, who called the Obama "The herald of this American retreat."[44]
In President Obama's March 28, 2011 speech on Libya justifying airstrikes against the Gaddafi regime. The President stated the United States can use military force "decisively, and unilaterally when necessary to defend our people, our homeland, our allies, and our core interests." He also states that where U.S interests are not directly threatened but its ideals and values are or when there is a regional security crisis then the United States is willing to take a leadership role in intervention providing that the burden is shared by an international coalition.[45]
As part of his deficit reduction plan, Obama has announced that the growth of security spending will be reduced by four percent from previously planned increases, by holding the spending increases below the rate of inflation.[46][47] A great deal of this cost containment (in money and the loss of American servicemen) has come from replacing massive land invasions with selective drone strikes or special operations missions that have resulted in the deaths of top terrorist leaders, including Osama bin Laden.[48][49]
These limited resources will be focused and managed to "Ensure U.S. forces can defeat more than one enemy at once",[50] while the previous Bush administration had only planned to "decisively" win in only one of two "near-simultaneous conflicts".[51]

Is a Lampard revival possible?
ESPNSTAR.com's Noah Tan takes a look at the future of Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard and contemplates if the veteran still has a role to play in the team.
By Noah Tan
Follow @@Noah_TanFor slightly over a decade since he joined Chelsea from West Ham, Lampard has been one of the first names on the Blues' teamsheet - a constant presence during the highs and lows the club have gone through.
However, the 34-year-old has in recent times earned himself a fair share of detractors calling for his departure.
The first signs of trouble began last season when then Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas tried to freeze Lampard out of the squad. The Portuguese's failure to do so was partly because of the player power culture prevalent inside the dressing room at the time, and partly because there was no one of similar quality in the Chelsea ranks to replace the England international.
However, the additions to the Chelsea squad under former manager Roberto Di Matteo over the summer did not bode well for Lampard's future at the club; Eden Hazard, Oscar and Marko Marin are usually used as attacking midfielders, while Ramires and John Obi Mikel have already been preferred to Lampard in the current Chelsea first team set-up.
While current interim Blues manager Rafael Benitez may have come out to categorically state that "Lampard has a future at Chelsea", it sounds a hollow comment given how the former West Ham starlet has been on the fringes of the squad in recent times; it is also no secret that the club was more than willing to sell the England international to MLS side LA Galaxy during the summer.
Far from being unsettled by such intense speculation, Lampard has remained professional throughout and efficiently gone about his business, impressing in his limited appearances for the club.
Never was that more apparent when the Blues took on Everton on Sunday as the midfielder produced a match-winning display against the Toffees, scoring a well-taken brace to secure a crucial three points for his team as they ran out 2-1 winners at Goodison Park.
Still, doubts persist over whether the former PFA Fans' Player of the Year can remain relevant in a new-look, youthful Chelsea side and if Chelsea should continue to keep a player unused to sitting on the bench.
What Lampard has to offer
In his prime, Lampard offered an energetic presence in the middle of the pitch for the Blues as an all action box-to-box midfielder, providing defensive cover when needed.
But it is in attack where the 34-year-old really flourished; an uncanny knack of timing his runs into the penalty area to perfection has seen him become the highest scoring midfielder in the league to date. He is now just one goal short of Kerry Dixon, who is the club's second all-time leading scorer with 193.
Although never as prolific a passer as the more technically creative midfielders in the mould of Barcelona's Xavi Hernandez, Lampard remains capable of providing an assist and creating goalscoring chances for his teammates.
Nevertheless, he is in the twilight of his career and is no longer as sprightly in midfield. The energy and strength in his legs has waned, he is no longer able to run from one end of the pitch to the other for the full 90 minutes and is highly unlikely to win a physical battle against the likes of Yaya Toure or Marouane Fellaini. Compared to the speedier and fitter Hazard, Oscar or even Ramires, Lampard looks lethargic at times. It is not unreasonable to think that his time as the fulcrum of Chelsea's attacks has come to an end.
Yet, to write off Lampard's value to the team based solely on his physical attributes would be short-sighted. The veteran midfielder is a senior and well-respected figure at the club and wields immeasurable influence in the Chelsea dressing room. Unlike his long-time teammate and club captain John Terry, he has not given the rabid English tabloids much to splash on their front pages.
What Lampard really brings to the team now is a mix of intangible qualities. His experience, leadership (both on and off the pitch) and professionalism continues to serve as an inspirational guide to all at Stamford Bridge.
How can Lampard fit into Chelsea now?
With the current crop of technical players in Chelsea ranks, the Blues' style of play has changed significantly. Where Chelsea teams of the past used Didier Drogba's physicality to great effect with long direct balls from deep, the current batch prefers to keep the ball on the ground and attack on the break, utilising their pace and skill to break retreating defences.
The speed which Chelsea play their game has thus increased tremendously, with Benitez attempting to utilise a system which best suits his flair players as well as his current chief striker Fernando Torres. This style of play contrasts sharply with Lampard's more thoughtful, patient approach to the game, where he tries to dictate possession - waiting for the right opportunity to release the ball.
On paper at least, Lampard will not be able to fit into this new Chelsea attack, his heroics against Everton notwithstanding. Ramires has taken over his mantle as the box-to-box midfielder, Mata is doing a fantastic job as a playmaker, Hazard has lit up Stamford Bridge with some sterling displays while Oscar has shown that he is more than able to play just behind the striker.
While there does not seem to be a place for Lampard in attack, there is a gaping hole in the Chelsea defensive set up. As a defensive midfielder, John Obi Mikel is nothing more than average at best and many, including myself, still fail to see the qualities he brings to the side.
The Nigerian's tackling leaves a lot to be desired and the 25-year-old is prone to conceding silly fouls in dangerous positions. His lack of tactical awareness and abysmal judgement, amongst other deficiencies, is often covered up by the excellent Chelsea defence which has spared Mikel's blushes on more than a few occasions.
On the other hand, Lampard's reading of the game, honed from all his years of experience, will stand him in good stead should he be used as a shield for the defence, allowing him to intercept and cut out the danger before it fully materialises. Unlike Mikel, the England international will also be able to better recycle possession and can be the link from deep between the defence and attack, a role very much like the one which Mikel Arteta plays for Arsenal.
In addition, having a senior figure to guide the younger, more impulsive players on the pitch will only aid the team, especially in tighter games where more cunning is needed in order to eke out the victory or avoid a loss. Knowing when and how to close the game out while holding to a slender one goal lead for example, is an important but undervalued tactic which Lampard is not unfamiliar with, having used it often to great effect in the past.
End of the Blues road for Lampard
Unfortunately, it is unlikely that Benitez will start selecting Lampard over Mikel in midfield on a regular basis.
One cannot expect Lampard to be happy with his bit-part role in the team as the season progresses, especially with lucrative offers from teams in America, Australia and China.
Last year, Lampard's former Chelsea teammate Michael Ballack announced his retirement from football at the age of 36 and one can expect Lampard too to hang up his boots for good sooner rather than later and for him to get a second chance at making his mark for Chelsea, like that of Manchester United's talismanic Paul Scholes, is unlikely.
Although this will in all likelihood be his final season with the Blues, there is no doubt whatsoever that Lampard will remain professional throughout his remaining time at the club and one can still expect him to make vital contributions, albeit on a less consistent basis, both on and off the pitch to aid Chelsea's quest for honours this season.

There isn't much love going on for our big manly Russie, Colossus. He's an artist, lover, and gentle giant who isn't afraid of getting down and dirty and snapping a person's neck or dropping a car on an enemy when his friends and family is threatened.
He's also one who keeps to himself and enjoys using his hands to create a work of art through paint or sculpture or plowing the field. But he's always welcoming to a friend in need. And he has an awesome visual. And who doesn't love to see him crushing a vehicle every now and then?
Here's a thread for Piotr Rasputin.

Mike Westhoff, the Jets' recently retired special teams coordinator, tells a Florida radio station that the way the team handled Tim Tebow was "an absolute mess."
Westhoff tells WQAM in south Florida on Friday that he was "very, very disappointed" in the Jets' lack of use of Tebow, the popular backup quarterback acquired last March to be a key part of the offense. Instead, Tebow barely got on the field in most games and never started at quarterback - even after Mark Sanchez was benched.
Westhoff adds that he's "still waiting for the unveiling" of the game plan that included lots of Tebow. The quarterback tried to hide his frustration throughout the season, but Westhoff says he could see a change in his demeanor and "that swagger that got out of him a little bit.

NLCS: The Giants Hit a Brick Wall Called St. Louis
Just like the Major League Baseball season is long, a seven game playoff series is also long. There is time to lose, time to regroup, and time to recover and win. But... all the evidence suggests the National League Championship Series just got shorter for the San Francisco Giants with their 6-4 loss to St. Louis in the opening game.
You can point to the Giants' NL Division Series down 0-2 come-back against the Reds as evidence of what can happen when a team is behind. Only that had never happened before. And as Yogi Berra might have put it, "there's only so many never-happened-befores you get before it stops happening".
The positive spin is that the Giants need only to take the next four of the six remaining games against the St. Louis Cardinals, and you don't need a miracle to have that happen. What you do need is to have your starting pitching go 6 or 7 damage-free innings each start.
To that end, San Franciso Manager Bruce Bochy has his starting pitching lined up perfectly and it should be formidable: Ryan Vogelsong will start Games 2 and 6, Matt Cain will start Games 3 and 7, and Madison Bumgarner gets another shot in Game 5.
The Giants' bullpen also showed off its stuff in Game 1 with 5.1 shutdown innings, allowing no runs, no hits, 1 walk, and striking out five Cardinal hitters.
Unfortunately, there is an 800lb negative spin sitting in the room.
Throughout the 2012 post season San Francisco's starting pitching has given every indication it simply is not up to championship standards: in two games started Bumgarner is 0-2, 11.25 ERA, 2.13 WHIP; Matt Cain is 1-1, 5.06 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and Barry Zito lasted 2.2 innings in his only start with a 6.75 ERA. Ryan Vogelsong has a 1.80 ERA in his one start, but he lasted only 5 innings and did not get the win.
The corollary here is that St. Louis big boppers Carlos Beltran, David Freese, Alan Craig, and Matt Holliday have indicated they are capable of taking advantage of any lapses in the Giants' starting pitching. So there's your 2012 NLCS set-piece: will San Francisco's starters mound-up and get it done?
I'm going to go out o a limb and put all this in the "Seriously Troubling" file folder inside my "Go Giants" file cabinet.
Today in Game 2 San Francisco will be facing the recently (and repeatedly) rebuilt Cards' starter Chris Carpenter. Around Carpenter's various pitching arm medical procedures in recent years he went 15-5 in 2004, 21-5 in 2005, 17-4 in 2009 and 16-9 in 2010. Facing Carpenter will be a good test for the Giants starting line-up: if they can get him out of the game early it will start to put pressure on the St. Louis bullpen and their 95+mph arms.
And then the NLCS will go to a more familiar (and recently successful) best of 5 series.
