Barcelona are piling the pressure on Chelsea and pushing hard for a tie-winning goal. They're not going through as it stands, so there's no question about what they're trying to do or what they have to do. They need to attack and they need a goal. So Pep Guardiola has brought on ... Seydou Keita?
Keita has replaced Cesc Fabregas in the 74th minute, for reasons unknown. This is not to disrespect Keita, who is an excellent player, but he's hardly a creator or a goal-scorer. If Guardiola made this sub in a game where Barcelona were level or leading, it would be characterized as a defensive substitution. It's an interesting and curious sub, to say the least.
We'll have live coverage throughout the game in our Barcelona vs. Chelsea, 2012 UEFA Champions League StoryStream. For more on the two teams, head over to Chelsea FC blog We Ain't Got No History and FC Barcelona blog Barca Blaugranes.

In Praise of Michelle Bachelet
by Charles Lemos, Thu Mar 11, 2010 at 08:05:57 PM EST
"Chile is no longer our fatherland—it's our motherland" became a popular refrain when Dr. Michelle Bachelet was elected four years ago to become the South America's first female president since Bolivia's Lydia Gueiler Tejada became interim president of that Andean nation in 1979. Unlike the appointed Gueiler, however, Bachelet won the Chilean presidency via the ballot box. Today she passed the reins of power to Sebastián Piñera, a Harvard economist and billionaire tycoon, ending a 20-year rule by La Concertación, the centre-left coalition that has governed the country since the departure of General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte.
For the Latin American left, this is certainly a bittersweet moment. There's an immense pride in the success of her government which exits a remarkable 84 percent approval rate. Chile's rise points to the success of the "pragmatic socialism" movement in Latin America, a left-leaning democratic coalition of countries that includes Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and El Salvador that aims for progressive policies focused on reduction of social inequality coupled with traditional free market economic policy. And while we turned over power to the right, the loss is tempered by the fact Sebastián Piñera has pledged to maintain and extend the policies that have created Chile's social safety net. It is not insignificant to note that when the right accepts the ideas of the left as part of the model, we have won a major victory. This is perhaps Bachelet's greatest triumph. In Chile, pragmatic socialism is the economic model.
It's somewhat remarkable that Michelle Bachelet even became President. Bachelet, an agnostic and single mother of three children including one with a non-married partner, is an atypical mother in a country widely viewed as one of the more conservative Catholic countries in which divorce was banned until 2004. A profile such as hers would disqualify any American from seeking the Presidency. She is the daughter of an air force general who died after being tortured during the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet (1973-1989). Bachelet with her mother fled into exile returning only the political situation in Chile stabilized. She would work with torture victims during the dark years of the Pinochet dictatorship.
Between 2000 and 2002, Bachelet was health minister in the government of fellow Socialist Ricardo Lagos, and she was later the country's defense minister, up until October 2004 when she resigned in order to run for the presidency.
A pediatrician by training, Dr. Bachelet embraced gender issues from the start, vowing that her government would "fight with all its capacity for the full exercise of women's rights."
Among the accomplishments of the Bachelet government in the realm of gender issues were:
- A law giving women the right to breast-feed at work.
- A law stiffened the penalties for men who fail to pay alimony.
- Hundreds of nurseries have been established nationwide, along with domestic violence shelters for women and children.
- Equal numbers of women and men are now serving in top government jobs, including in the Cabinet.
- Women were for the first time admitted at the Chilean Naval Academy.
But it is in the realm of social investment and especially in the area of childhood development that Bachelet had the biggest impact. Under Bachelet Chile shaved off 50 basis points off the country's GINI co-efficient narrowing the income inequality gap from 0.571 in 2005 to 0.520 last year. Looking over the course of the decade, the narrowing of social inequality from 0.583 in 2001 some sixty basis points stands out as one of the more notable achievements anywhere in the world. When one considers that the GINI co-efficient stood at 0.64 when Pinochet left office, the impact of the Left's rule in Chile becomes evident.
In 1985, 45 percent of Chileans lived in poverty with some 20 percent living in extreme poverty classified as living on two dollars or less per day. In 1990, when Augusto Pinochet left office, more than 38.6 percent of people in this Andean country of 16 million lived below the poverty line. By 2003, the poverty rate had been cut to 18.7 percent and as of 2008 it stood at just 13.7 percent. The number of Chileans who today live in extreme poverty is just 2.4 percent.
During much of the 1990s, Chile's economy averaged annual growth of 7.8%, earning it the title of Latin America's most turbocharged but the country's growth was uneven with the rich getting richer and the bottom half of Chileans getting left behind. Chilean leaders had long hoped to match the affluence in Portugal or a Greece, two of the less affluent European nations.
Chile's growth was fueled by free-trade agreements (FTAs)with 56 countries that opened markets to Chile's natural resources such as copper (which remains in state hands) and timber, and to food items such as fruit, fish and wine. Chile in a public-private partnership, for example, developed the country's farmed salmon industry from zero in 1990 to where it is today, the world's second largest after Norway. Since 1990, the country has increased exports from $9 billion USD a year to $60 billion USD in 2006. And the various FTAs have diversified Chile's trading partners so much so that China surpassed the United States as Chile's largest export market with Brazil now poised to overtake the US.
But despite the global commodities boom, growth slowed at the start of this decade to half what it was in the 1990s, to an average of 3.7%. The economic expansion was no longer keeping pace with the growth of the labor force. Far from catching up to Portugal's economic output of about $23,000 per capita, Chile's remained stuck at $14,000.
At a 2008 speech to the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, President Bachelet noted that "Chile has set even more ambitious goals for itself. Chile's currently a middle-income country, and within the next few years its per capita income, measured through the use of the purchasing power parity, will be in excess of $20,000 per year. In keeping with this, the country's now in the process of conducting reforms that will enable us to make a strong leap towards development…We must increase competitiveness, promote innovation and ensure that all members of our societies participate in the development process, what we have called social cohesion. We need to go further in social cohesion, too."
Her Chile Crece Contigo (Chile Grows With You) childhood development programme is perhaps the jewel in the crown of the policies she instituted. The four main principles that govern Chile Crece Contigo are a Human Rights framework where all children have the right to develop to their maximum individual potential; Social Participation, with children and families participating from the inital design phase of various Government programmes, in order to include their needs and wants; and Equity, including universal actions for all children of a similar age, some actions targeting only children who participate in the public health sector, and other actions especially targeting vulnerable children who belong to the 40 per cent of the poorest households – which encompasses around 60 per cent of children from 0-4 years old in the country. The policies included free prenatal and postnatal care, mandatory paid maternal leaves, a network of state-subsidized day care centers that offered free childcare to working families, and scholarships to maintain school enrollment for adolescent mothers. It's a model well worth replicating.
Under her tenure direct foreign investment in Chile increased 64 percent and Chile became the first South American and the second Latin American country to join the OECD, a group of the world's top 31 industrialized economies. Indeed, last year the United Nations Development Programme's annual Human Development Index, which measures countries' social as well as economic conditions, ranked Chile 38th in the world, ahead of all other Latin American countries.
The Chilean Constitution does not allow for successive presidential terms. She is eligible to run again in 2013 when Chile next holds presidential elections. In the meantime, she will commute between New York and Santiago working on international development issues with a particular focus on early childhood development.

The Eagles opened the scoring at the 8:45 mark of the first period to when Kyle Kucharski scored on a shot from the slot. The Friars evened the score late in the period as freshman Daniel New (White Plains, N.Y.) potted his sixth goal of the season. New fired a shot from the left point past BC netminder John Muse who was screened in front.
The Friars, who struggled on the power play early on, used the man advantage to take a 2-1 lead at 17:20 of the second period. Senior Nick Mazzolini (Anchorage, Alaska) was able to tap the puck into the open net from in close after a shot from the right circle by junior John Cavanagh (Warwick, R.I.). Senior Pierce Norton (South Boston, Mass.) also assisted on the goal. However, the Eagles responded with a power-play goal of their own shortly thereafter to even the score at 2-2. Brock Bradford ripped a shot from the right circle past PC freshman goalie Alex Beaudry (Cumberland, Ont.) at 18:57.
Both teams battled through a scoreless third period and overtime. With just under two minutes left in the extra session, Norton fired a shot from the bottom of the left circle that Muse was able to deflect and the puck was on its into the net. However, Muse quickly dove backwards and pounced on the puck before it crossed the goal line.
Muse finished with 29 saves, while Beaudry recorded 27 stops for the Friars.

Missouri lawmakers present an extra budget to Governor Jay Nixon to include a $14 million increase for special needs kids. The money will go toward a fund that reimburses schools for the extra costs of education children with special needs.
Out of Carl Junction's 300 special needs kids, their special services director says less than 10 were eligible for the High Needs reimbursement from the state, but aren't confident that more money in the fund will lead to more money for Carl Junction.
"It varies so much from year to year that it is hard to see what that would look like," says Teena Fare, the Carl Junction Special Services Director.
According to Fare only those special needs students who cost the district three times the cost of the average student qualify. The average cost per student in Carl Junction is $6,900.
Examples of students meeting reimbursement costs might be deaf children needing one on one assistance or those requiring high transportation costs.
"That amount that you can request reimbursement, which is around $21,000 in our district, then you look at the expenditures above and beyond that and request from the state and hope for the best," says Fare.
According to area school district's Carl Junction is in line with both Webb City and Joplin. Joplin says only five of their students qualified last year, and in Webb City the number was eight. The reason being that only certain students on an individual education plan require three times the amount fiscally of most.
"They vary, some of them have very minor additional services that we provide, others are more unique, and have more services," says Carl Junction School Superintendent Phillip Cook.
According to state education officials the growth in the fund is a result of more children with special needs and an increase in the costs of specialized instruction.

*I'm aware that I make frequent references to the male characters giving birth to their sons in this episode. Physical limitations aside, I don't think it distracts too much from the story, but it irked me enough to write a sort of apology here for my poor word choice, revealing what I'm going to call my testostebias. Obviously Isaac didn't give birth to Jacob, his wife did...but, you know what I mean. I pledge that in all future episodes I will make sure to keep my biological functions gender correct.

Analytics in Action: Pricing
Bringing additional precision to pricing
It's widely known that changes to a pricing strategy can bring benefits with a relatively small amount of effort. On the other hand, the wrong moves in pricing can have an equally outsized effect. Which is why so many companies leave pricing untouched--even when they know a new approach may be needed. For them, pricing is an unknown and as long as it's not completely broken, they feel that they can work around any pricing inefficiencies. As a result, they are likely leaving a lot of value on the table.
It doesn't have to be that way – especially when companies are generating valuable data that could be used to guide their pricing efforts. Pricing analytics can complement the wisdom and experience of sales teams, partners and others, from transaction-level analyses and behavioral segmentation to logarithmic- or regression-based price analyses. For business leaders who are concerned that their pricing strategy is overly reactive and speculative, employing pricing analytics can be an effective new development. And Deloitte can help you put it to work today, bringing our leading pricing capabilities together with a deep analytics bench. Not only do we know pricing and analytics, we know business. And that can make all the difference.

The Super Bowl and the Academy Awards are set to air in the coming weeks, and, in perennial fashion, millions of Americans will be glued to the splashy theatrics of these televised spectacles.
But amid the touchdown passes and award acceptance speeches, viewers will be bombarded by images that are of seemingly little consequence to the events themselves: commercials, product placements and maybe even a public service announcement. Some viewers will passively ignore the ads; others will skip over them with their DVRs.
For the artists featured in the new exhibition at Franklin Street Works, however, those flashes of interruption deserve a more critical eye.
Opening with a public reception on Thursday, Jan. 24, "Your Content Will Return Shortly" is an exhibition that explores "how contemporary artists harness the in-between moments of our television experiences," said Terri C. Smith, creative director of Franklin Street Works in Stamford and curator of the exhibition.
Exploring those "in-between moments" translates to examinations of commercials and their impact on consumer choices; incidental narrative devices and their role in shaping viewer responses; and the technology behind our TV watching habits.
"These arguably tangential aspects often reveal, among other things, what we value in entertainment, what entertainment wants from the viewer, the operational structures found in commercial broadcast television and the assets and limitations of the TV set itself," Smith said.
Surrounding viewers with TV screens, the exhibition features video, photographs, audio and the operational structures of TV.
In "Stimulus," New Haven artist Jeff Ostergren strings together a video collage of side-effects warnings from pharmaceutical ads (anti-depressants, plastic surgeries, sleep aids, etc.). Removing the commercials from the context of a conventional broadcast and running them in rapid-fire succession, Ostergren reveals a "disconnect between the images and what is actually said."
"You'll see these happy, smiling people, crazy moths flying around and cultural references -- but there's also these dire warnings," he said. "It's a big strategy to distract the viewer."
Meanwhile, New York City artist Emily Roz applies a fresh and humorous perspective to familiar narrative motifs in "Presidents" and "Death by Mel." In the latter work, Roz displays a series of Polaroid pictures capturing scene after scene (144, in fact) in which a Mel Gibson film character kills his rival ("Lethal Weapon," anyone?).
Roz said the scenes are at once comforting and disturbing -- comforting in that they are fun to identify; disturbing in that they reveal just how desensitized we are to the violence they depict.
"Grouping many similar images reminds us of what we come to expect from certain genres and how those devices signal the moviegoer to understand and accept certain pretexts without question," Roz said.
Some viewers might contend that TV is a way to turn off -- that laboring over each and every image is anathema to the point of the experience. But as the artists in "Your Content Will Return Shortly" reveal, the impact of television extends far beyond the living room.
The exhibition "asks questions about the cultural circuitry surrounding television, as well as its relationship to daily life and contemporary art," Smith said.
When a commercial comes on during the Super Bowl or the Academy Awards, there might be an urge to tune out (or maybe even treat it as entertainment). But, why not zoom in for a closer look?
"Your Content Will Return Shortly" features Christopher DeLaurenti, Eric Gottesman, Jonathan Horowitz, Sophy Naess, Ostergren, Lucy Raven, Martha Rosler, Catherine Ross, Roz, Carmelle Safdie and Siebren Versteeg.

One of the most common type of questions that I get at taxgirl.com is how to get organized at tax time. Questions range from "What kind of documents do I need?" to "What information do I need to give my tax preparer?"
To help you get started, I've prepared a quick checklist. You can download my tax prep checklist as a 72kb pdf here (it's free, there's no registration required). The first two pages are informational and required in order to get started on your tax returns – you can fill them out and take them to your tax pro or use it to help you get started on your tax software. The third page will help you determine which schedules you might need to complete – I've included the most commonly filed ones. The fourth page will help you get your documents together.
It's not meant to be a comprehensive list – that could go on for pages and pages. It's meant to be a quick reference. I hope you find it useful!

One of the great theatre successes of our time, this five time Tony Award winning show for has won many distinguished awards (Best Musical) for scenic design, director, composer and lyricist, and actor. The show takes place in a dungeon in Seville during the Spanish Inquisition. There Cervantes waits for his trial for an offense against the Church. Man of La Mancha is a play-within-a-play, based on Cervantes' "Don Quixote." It is a poignant story of a dying old man whose impossible dream takes over his mind. The musical's songs It's All the Same, Dulcinea, I'm Only Thinking of Him, The Impossible Dream, I Really Like Him, and Little Bird remain in your thoughts and in your soul well after the last curtain falls. His dream is everyman's dream. His tilting at windmills is everyman's great adventure. Somehow, the footlights disappear, time is telescoped and the "Man of La Mancha" speaks for humankind.
