Alberto Gonzales Has a Second Nashville Job, This One at a Law Firm
Posted Oct 6, 2011 10:10 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has two employment gigs in Nashville.
Earlier this week came the announcement that Gonzales will become a law professor at Belmont University, a new law school in Nashville. Now Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis has announced that Gonzales is joining the Nashville law firm in an of counsel capacity, according to The BLT: The Blog of Legal Times, the Am Law Daily and the Tennessean.
Gonzales will work on the firm's diversity initiatives and will serve clients in the areas of white-collar defense, government relations and government investigations, according to a press release.
Gonzales told the New York Times magazine in 2009 that he was having difficulty landing a law firm job following his controversial tenure in the Justice Department. He ended up teaching at Texas Tech University.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan police killed four American soldiers coming to their aid after a checkpoint attack Sunday, the third assault by government forces or insurgents disguised in military uniforms in as many days.
The escalating violence — including a NATO airstrike that killed eight Afghan women and girls gathering firewood — is straining the military partnership between Kabul and NATO as the U.S. begins to withdraw thousands of troops sent three years ago to route the Taliban from southern strongholds.
The attacks drew unusually strong criticism Sunday from the U.S. military's top officer, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, who called the problem of rogue Afghan soldiers and police turning their guns on allied troops "a very serious threat" to the war effort.
This year, 51 international service members have died at the hands of their Afghan allies or those who have infiltrated their ranks. At least 12 such attacks came in August alone, leaving 15 dead.
The surge in insider attacks is a sign of how security has deteriorated as NATO prepares its military exit from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. The U.S. is days away from completing the first stage of its own drawdown, withdrawing 33,000 troops that were part of a military surge three years ago. The U.S. will remain with about 68,000 troops at the end of September.
NATO and U.S. forces are working with the Afghan government to tighten vetting procedures and increase security between the forces, but nothing has so far been able to stem the attacks on troops, which NATO frequently asserts are standing "shoulder by shoulder."
In unusually blunt remarks to the Pentagon's own news service, the American Forces Press Service, Dempsey said the Afghan government needs to take the problem as seriously as do U.S. commanders and officials.
"We're all seized with (the) problem," said Dempsey, after discussing the issue at a meeting in Romania with NATO officials. "You can't whitewash it. We can't convince ourselves that we just have to work harder to get through it. Something has to change."
"We have to get on top of this. It is a very serious threat to the campaign."
A weekend of deadly attacks began Friday night, when 15 insurgents disguised in U.S. army uniforms killed two Marines, wounded nine other people and destroyed six Harrier fighter jets at a major U.S. base in the south, military officials said. On Saturday, a gunman in the uniform of a government-backed militia force shot dead two British soldiers in Helmand province in the southwest.
On Sunday, an Afghan police officer turned his gun on NATO troops at a remote checkpoint in the southern province of Zabul, killing four American service members, according to Afghan and international officials.
"It was my understanding that it was a checkpoint," said Jamie Graybeal, a spokesman for international military in Afghanistan.
One police officer was killed in the clash with NATO troops, he said. Other officers at the site fled; it was unclear if they were involved in the attack or not.
Two international troops were wounded and were receiving treatment, Graybeal said. He did not say how serious the injuries were.
Afghan officials said the checkpoint in Zabul's Mizan district came under attack first from insurgents sometime around midnight. American forces came to help the Afghan police respond to the attack, said Ghulam Gilani, the deputy police chief of the province.
International forces often work with Afghan police to man checkpoints as part of the effort to train and mentor the Afghan forces so that they can eventually operate on their own.
It was not clear if some of the Afghan police turned on the Americans in the middle of the battle, or were somehow forced into attacking the American troops by the insurgents, Gilani said.
"The checkpoint was attacked last night. Then the police started fighting with the Americans. Whether they attacked the Americans willingly we don't know," Gilani said.

Random thought N°1:
Nba.com made an entry in their blogtable: "What chance for the spurs?"
And just like that, we're the main pick for winning the NBA Finals, no matter who we would face there. Come on!!! Weren't we supposed to be defeated by the Lakers a month ago? Weren't the Warriors too fast, too good, too young for us? If I remember well, we were up 2-0 vs the Grizzilies and they were in control of this series... they'd figured us out!!!!
And now we're about to meet Miami or Indiana in the Finals... AND WE ARE THE CANDIDATES??? What the hell is going on here? We are talking about the effing LEBRON JAMES out there!!!! Please say that he's inmortal, that he's gonna kill us...
I don't like this... Please media, hate us!!! It's way more funny that way. It's so nice to shut your mouths once, twice, a hundred times in a row.
Keep saying we're old, that Lebron James is a God, that we're going to be destroyed in June. That Wade in one leg in more than enough to keep us under 60 points per game.
I trully believe that they're trying to jinx us. It's not good when we have all the support from the media. Please ESPN, keep ignoring us, it's much better that way. Don't pick us Skip Bayless... PICK INDIANA, PICK THE HEAT!!! PICK THE DAMN BOBCATS!!!! Just DONT PICK US!!!
Say we're too old, please!!!!
Random thought N°2:
If the series between the Spurs and Grizzlies was physical, we should creat a new word for the series between Pacers and Heat. Man, they are hitting, elbowing, making illegal screens, hard-fouling everywhere and everyone. It would be a miracle if whoever comes out of that war, does in in one piece.
Random thought N°3:
I think that we should be candidates for the Finals. The only thing that could worry me a bit is the fact that, by the time the Finals begin it would be 10 days since the last time we played a game. I don't think that we would need to play a whole game in order to became the oiled offensive machine we should be to win it all. But a whole quarter could be the only thing that teams like Indiana or Miami would need to win a game.
We should pay attention to that. But, on the other hand, I've just checked our bench... And you know what? Pop's still there, so I think that he's already thought about that.
Random thought N°4:
I think Indiana would be "easier" to beat. Of course, both Miami and Indiana will be tough to beat, but they're both beatable.
All the same, I want to face Miami. I want them to be healthy, to be at their 100%, playing at full steam. Because that way, there won't be ANY excuse that we were the better team once we beat them.
Random thought N°5:
10 days it's too much. I want the finals to start RIGHT NOW!!!!
Bring it on Stern, we're waiting.

Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 provides that a company's CEO and CFO must disgorge certain bonuses, equity-based compensation, and trading profits if the company is required "to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the issuer, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws." Although Congress did not create an express private right of action in the statute, recent securities class actions and derivative suits often include a tag-along Section 304 claim.
As reported by The 10b-5 Daily, at least one court has found in a derivative case that the legislation did not create a private right of action and dismissed the claim. Courts that are inclined to do the same thing in a securities class action, however, may choose to rely on the plain language of the statute. In In re Qwest Communications Int'l, Inc. Sec. Litig., 387 F. Supp. 2d 1130 (D. Col. 2005), the court found that Section 304 expressly requires an officer to "reimburse the issuer." Under these circumstances, Qwest's investors did not have standing to bring the claim because they were "not entitled to the relief authorized by the statute."
Holding: Motion to dismiss Section 304 claim granted.
Royal Ahold NV (NYSE: AHO), the Dutch owner of the Giant and Stop & Shop supermarket chains, has announced the preliminary settlement of the securities class action pending against the company in the D. of Md. The case was originally filed in 2003 after Royal Ahold announced a large financial restatement.
The settlement is for $1.1 billion and is the largest U.S. securities class action settlement ever entered into by a European company. Bloomberg has this report.
MarketWatch reports that the Oracle derivative settlement has received court approval. Under the original terms of the settlement, the CEO of Oracle agreed to pay $100 million to charity on behalf of the company, while the company was to pay $22.5 million in legal fees to plaintiffs' counsel. The proposed settlement came under criticism, with the court expressing concern over the fact that Oracle, the presumed beneficiary of the settlement, would be paying the legal fees. The approved settlement provides that the CEO of Oracle will make both payments.
The notices put out by securities plaintiffs firms to announce the filing of a complaint tend to be fairly staid. At least one firm may be trying to liven them up (see here and here).
American Lawyer has a feature article (via a law firm website) in its Litigation 2005 supplement that lays out the events surrounding the WorldCom settlements. The settlements totaled over $6 billion.
Oral argument in Merrill Lynch v. Dabit, the SLUSA case before the Supreme Court, has been scheduled for Wednesday, January 18. The petitioner's brief can be found here.
Fortune has an article on Supreme Court nominee Judge Samuel Alito's record in business cases. The article briefly discusses a securities class action decision that was favorable for the defendant company.
Quote of note: "In a shareholder class action suit brought against Burlington Coat Factory after its stock price plummeted, Alitos opinion came down on the side of the company, but in a nuanced way. 'It suggests that hes not particularly hostile to securities plaintiffs and many judges are,' says David Hoffman, who teaches corporate law at Temple University."
Under the PSLRA, the presumptive lead plaintiff in a securities class action is the party with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class. Courts have struggled, however, with how to apply this presumption when faced with proposed lead plaintiff groups. In In re Flight Safety Technologies, Inc. Sec. Litig., 2005 WL 2663033 (D. Conn. Oct. 19, 2005), two competing plaintiffs' groups joined forces and sought to have eight investors named as co-lead plaintiffs. The court found that "appointing eight unrelated and unfamiliar plaintiffs as co-lead plaintiffs, when no preexisting relationship is evident, would be counter to both the terms and the spirit of the PSLRA." Instead, the court appointed one individual investor (who had alleged the most potential damages) and one institutional investor (noting that Congress had expressed a preference for institutional investors).
Quote of note: "In the briefs submitted prior to the date on which the pending joint motion for appointment was filed, the Rogers Group and the Ozkam Group spent considerable time and effort criticizing the ability of the members of the other group to serve as lead plaintiffs in this action. As noted previously, those groups have since abandoned their concerns, however, and combined with those previously deemed inadequate in order to pursue their remedy. This gives new meaning to Lord Palmerstons quotation: 'We have no eternal allies and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and these interests it is our duty to follow.'"
As a general matter, claims under the '33 Act may be brought in federal or state court and cannot be removed. There is a continuing split, however, over whether the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act of 1998 ("SLUSA") created a removal exception for '33 Act securities class actions (e.g., misstatements in a prospectus) brought in state court. The Second Circuit says that it did, but other courts have disagreed. In the latest decision on the issue, Lowinger v. Johnston, 2005 WL 2592229 (W.D.N.C. Oct. 13, 2005), the court found that removal pursuant to SLUSA was proper.
Compliance Week has an article on the battle between counsel for the WorldCom class action plaintiffs and counsel for the WorldCom opt-out plaintiffs over who obtained a better settlement for their clients. The competing press releases can be found here (class action plaintiffs) and here (opt-out plaintiffs). Thanks to Securities Litigation Watch for the link.
Addition: An interesting sidenote to the $651 million settlement with the opt-out plaintiffs - Citigroup and J.P. Morgan agreed to join the plaintiffs in petitioning the SEC to toughen its disclosure rules for securities offerings.
The controversy over the "reverse auction" in the KPMG tax shelter class action continues (see this post). The New Jersey Law Journal reports (via law.com - free regist. req'd) that a trio of plaintiffs' firms plan to challenge the preliminary approval of a $225 million settlement.
The October 21 edition of the New York Law Journal has a roundup (regist. req'd) of recent decisions on the applicability of the SLUSA discovery stay provisions to parallel state court derivative actions. The authors find that the trend in the case law is against imposing a discovery stay in this situation, but it is worth noting that there has been some recent contrary authority that is not discussed in the article.
Quote of note: "Thus, of the eight cases analyzed, [six] denied a stay of discovery in the derivative action, frequently with the proviso that the discovery would not be shared with the federal securities action. One stayed discovery based upon the derivative action counsel's stated intent to share the fruits of that discovery with the federal securities action. Only one stayed discovery despite the absence of evidence of collusion and where the derivative complaint was filed a year before the federal securities complaint."
Qwest Communications International Inc. (NYSE:Q), a Denver-based provider of Internet, data, video, and voice services, has announced the preliminary settlement of the securities class action pending against the company in the D. of Colo. The case was originally filed in 2001 and alleges that Qwest engaged in sham transactions for fiber-optic network capacity to hide declining demand.
The settlement is for $400 million, with an additional $10 million to be paid by co-defendant Arthur Andersen. Qwest's former CEO and CFO are also co-defendants in the case, but are not part of the settlement. According to the announcement, the settlement can be terminated under certain circumstances, "including in the event that the SEC elects not to distribute to the putative class members the $250 million penalty that Qwest has already committed to pay to the SEC." Bloomberg has this report.

The second "Occupy Steubenville" rally on Jan. 5 brought a larger crowd with many speakers using a PA system to speak at the event.
During the protest, Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla approached the microphone to make a statement and answered a few questions fielded by one of the protestors.
(for more on the case, click here)
Abdalla aimed at clearing views of the protestors by stating his history and history of local authorities on seeking justice against sexual offenders.
"I would go after those people that have gone after our children," said Abdalla. "For the last 28 years we have arrested over 200-plus individuals who are sexually abusing children."
Over a restless crowd, Abdalla reminded everyone at the event to teach children that sexual offenders are not always strangers.
"Not one person we arrested was a stranger," exclaimed Abdalla.
During Abdalla's speech, he talked about victims' fathers, grandfathers, cousins and even teachers that have been arrested which was quickly followed up by someone in the crowd yelling "what about football players?"
Abdalla then shared his feelings of listening to children affected by sexual abuse.
"The most difficult thing for me to do is to sit and listen to a 3 or 4 year old child to tell you what someone did to them," said Abdalla. "It's like sticking a knife into your heart and twisting it."
After Abdalla completed his speech, it was followed by booing from the crowd and people yelling "do your job" and "seek justice."
Abdalla was then fielded questions from a protestor including when did he see the 12-minute YouTube video of a teenager speaking about the alleged rape.
"The first time I saw that was 3 days ago," said Abdalla as the crowd booed.
Abdalla went on to clarify the Steubenville Police Department had the video in their possession the same month the case started.
When asked what Abdalla's first reaction to this video was, he said "disgusting."
After Abdalla spoke, another person in the crowd took hold of the microphone to show support their support of the sheriff.
"I believe he is a good man," said the protester. "I'm taking a risk speaking up so hear me out. He's a good man and I know it."

We've seen as these SBN position rankings get released the Panthers have been all over the board. Some rankings I have agreed with and others...not so much. For example, the RB rankings were as I would expect. The Panthers triple trouble backfield of DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert was good for #2 overall, a ranking well deserved I believe.
On the other hand the WR rankings missed the mark. Those of you that know my writing know I'm not an overly homer type of guy. I try to keep it real so when I say this ranking makes me scratch my head I'm not just being a homer.
Apparently having Steve Smith on the roster doesn't account for much:
22. Carolina Panthers
The Panthers are another one of those teams with a clear star receiver and a bunch of question marks behind him. Steve Smith looked like his best days were behind him until Cam Newton showed up. He had 1,394 yards and seven touchdowns, the first time he topped the 1,000-yard mark since 2008. Rookie Joe Adams adds even more speed to the lineup. Brandon LaFell may be the key to success. He could be in for a breakout in his third season.
While there is no denying that Smitty's stats fell off the past couple of seasons I thought it was common knowledge that was due more to QB issues than Smitty himself. You would have thought 2011 proved that. Regardless you would still think a ranking higher than #22 would be deserved for a team with the player that was #5 in yards in 2011.We will look at the number of other teams relying on a single marquee WR and a bunch of support players who for some reason are ranked higher, after the jump...
Tip of the hat to CanadianPanther for his fanshot yesterday.
#8 Cardinals - Larry Fitzgerald - Okay he's younger than Smitty, that's about it as these guys had practically identical stats last season
#9 Patriots - Wes Welker - Smitty >> Welker any day as he averaged a full four yards less per catch. He gets all the dinks and dunks Brady throws
#10 Chargers - Malcolm Floyd and Robert Meachem- Seriously? I'm speechless on this one.
#16 Chiefs - Dwayne Bowe - He's good but not Smitty-good
#17 Raiders - Darius Heyward-Bey - What has this guy done in the NFL except underachieve since being drafted in the top 10? He topped 900 yards in 2011 and now he's better than Smitty?
#20 49ers - Michael Crabtree and Randy Moss - Unless Moss should drink from the fountain of youth I'm not feeling it. Can Alex Smith even get him the ball?
#21 - Redskins - Apparently Pierre Garcon, who has never broke 1,000 yards receiving is better than Smitty
I could take issue with a few more but you get the point. Hopefully Smitty will read this and get a chip on his shoulder. Scratch that...an even bigger chip on his shoulder! Who knows, maybe once Louis Murphy is included in the mix we might jump up a little higher but I doubt it. Nothing left to do but prove them wrong!

March 21, 2013
Long Beach, Calif. -
Leading Off
It's rivalry week as Long Beach State hosts No. 8 Cal State Fullerton for a three-game series at Blair Field, the first of two series between the Dirtbags and the Titans this season. First pitch Friday is scheduled for 6 p.m., followed by a 2 p.m. start Saturday and a 1 p.m. game time on Sunday. All Dirtbag games can be followed through live audio or Gametracker at www.longbeachstate.com.
Home Sweet Home
Coming off of a six-game skid, the Dirtbags relished a chance to come home and right the ship, and that's exactly what the team did, breaking out the brooms against Wichita State in a three-game sweep over the previously 11-5 Shockers. Shane Carle had a dominant performance on Friday Night, setting the tone by scattering three hits over seven innings, and giving the LBSU bats a chance to come alive late and grab a 4-1 win. Jake Stassi followed with another tremendous start, also allowing just one run in seven innings in a 3-1 win to take the series on Saturday, and then the offense came through on Sunday, as six different players had hits and Long Beach State held on to take a 5-4 win and complete the sweep. Jeff McNeil had six hits for the Dirtbags on the weekend, hitting .545 overall, while Michael Hill had a double and a triple among his five hits, and Jeff Yamaguchi added four for Long Beach State. With the three wins, the Dirtbags are now 8-4 on the year in Blair Field, where they will return this weekend to host the rival Cal State Fullerton Titans beginning on Friday.
Scouting Cal State Fullerton
Long Beach State and Cal State Fullerton resume their annual series this season, as the teams will play two weekend series, a non-conference matchup this weekend at Blair Field before heading to Goodwin later in the year in a Big West meeting. Pitching has been the strength of the Titans so far, particularly behind freshmen Thomas Eshelman and Justin Garza. Garza is 5-0 with an 0.99 ERA, while Eshleman is 4-1 with a 1.29 ERA, both Top 5 in the Big West. Offensively, senior Carlos Lopez is having a big year, averaging .351 with 11 RBI, while Michael Lorenzen is hitting .329 while slugging .544. In one of just a handful of series west of the Mississippi to have been played over 200 times, Fullerton leads the all-time record 130 to 80, and won four of six last season, including the season finale to determine the winner of the Big West.
Hill Topper
Junior Michael Hill has been the bright spot for the offense throughout the 2013 season. In 21 games played, the shortstop is batting .371 (23-for-62) and has three doubles, four triples, and a home run, putting together a .597 slugging percentage, second-best in the Big West. Additionally, Hill has a pair of walks and three HBP, reaching at a .412 rate with an OPS just over 1.000 at 1.009. The junior begins the week sixth in the Big West in hitting.
Jekyll And Hyde
After 21 games, the Dirtbags have one streak that stands out; Long Beach State has had excellent success against right-handed starters, going 8-5 overall on the year, but has gone 1-7 in games against left-handed starters, accounting for the team's sub-.500 record. That includes both losses against Seattle, as well as the last two games against No. 20 Arizona State and Tuesday's 12-2 loss at San Diego State. The overall average of the team has been similar against left-handed hitting, but that success has not transferred into victories. However, after dropping the first six, Long Beach State finally grabbed a win against a southpaw, fighting fire with fire as LHP Jake Stassi pitched seven innings to get the win Saturday against Wichita State.
Scheduling The Best
In addition to the season opener against No. 2 Vanderbilt, the Dirtbags have again put together a tremendous schedule for the 2013 season. Long Beach State opened its home schedule by hosting the defending champions, No. 10 Arizona, and 11 out of the 21 teams on the schedule received votes in at least one poll entering the year. The Dirtbags also hosted Valparaiso and Seattle in weekend series before resuming two traditional series in Blair Field against Wichita State and a non-conference meeting with Cal State Fullerton. The Dirtbags also had a trip to No. 20 Arizona State on the schedule, and weekday contests with LMU, UCLA, USC, San Diego State, and Pepperdine. Finally, Long Beach State will host Cal State Northridge, UC Davis, Cal Poly, UC Riverside, and first-year member Hawai'i in Big West play.

COLUMBUS COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Assistant District Attorney Heath Nance said officials are trying to move forward with court cases that are preventing animals from being adopted from the Columbus County Animal Shelter.
According to Rossie Hayes, Director of Columbus County Animal Control Services, two pit bulls have been at the county's animal shelter for more than a year.
Hayes says the dogs were brought in when their owners were charged with animal cruelty, and now, they have to remain there until the case goes to court.
According to Hayes, 14 other dogs have been in six kennels since September. The owner of those dogs was also charged with animal cruelty.
The animals are taking up needed space and are creating extra work for shelter employees.
Nance said Monday they are working to expedite these cases.

Hands-on experience in all facets of culinary preparation and presentation is emphasized throughout the curriculum. Further, coursework emphasizing the development of supervisory and managerial responsibilities such as sanitation, menu planning, management, cost control, purchasing, cooking, baking, and restaurant operations are also provided. Specific skills aimed at creating recipes; managing the kitchen; ordering supplies; measuring, mixing, and cooking ingredients according to specified recipes; familiarity with the various types of kitchen equipment and instruments; knife skills, cutting, chopping, slicing, and dicing; and, directing the duties of other kitchen employees are developed throughout the entire program of study.

Culinary Scholarship Dinner
Saturday, March 22, 2014
Tickets: $100.00
As our guest at this year's Culinary Scholarship Dinner, you will be treated to a new dining experience. Join us as we take you on a journey we like to call "Edible Evolution." You will receive a full-service, plated dinner consisting of a 10-course evolutionary progression of cuisine throughout the ages including savory selections from the culinary time periods of the Hunter Gatherer, Middle Ages, Classical French, Nouvelle Cuisine, California Cuisine (Farm to Table), and the wonderfully modern techniques of Molecular Gastronomy.
Instead of visiting individual stations, as in years past, we invite you to sit back and enjoy this intimate setting where you receive the full-attention of our culinary students and staff. We are throwing the spotlight on the night's main attraction: the food. As you receive each course of the tasting menu, we invite you to ask questions of our culinary staff. After all, the learning experience isn't solely open to the students but to our community as well.

Pro-Israel forces inside the U.S. are willing to use their money to buy political influence and protection for Israel across the political spectrum. I do believe that much of the suffering could be alleviated if we would put sufficient energy and resources behind putting out in public view how the pro-Israel lobby misdirects U.S. and European policies and prevents pro-peace and justice politicians from ever having the opportunity to put those values, along with our basic human dignity, permanently on the table for public debate. – Cynthia McKinney

After the execution of three Somalis and the wounding and capturing of another in the Indian Ocean on April 12, a leader of the so-called pirates vowed to avenge the deaths of these youth who held the U.S. captain of a cargo vessel known as the Maersk Alabama for five days.
April 13, 2009
If you ask any Somali, if getting rid of the pirates only means the continuous rape of our coast by unmonitored Western vessels and the producing of a new cancerous generation, we would all fly our pirate flags high. One man's pirate is another man's coast guard.

My call last month for an end to the lockout of Blacks from construction is catching fire. This month, let's get some work! Everyone who wants to work construction, pack the BART board meeting Thursday, Jan. 8, 9 a.m., Kaiser Center, Third Floor, 344 20th St., Oakland.

In football, the saying 'form team' is branded about a hell of a lot. However, Chelsea may actually be the only true 'form team' in world football.
Form usually goes out the window when fixture congestion, to the extent of what Chelsea have faced in the last 10 days happens. How many Chelsea fans truly believed we would get through the last 10 days unbeaten? Take Arsenal for example they had a similar - however much less daunting - 10 days last year in March. They had Birmingham in the league cup final, a premiership match and two legs against Barcelona. They showed fight in the first leg at the Emirates taking a 2-1 lead to the Nou Camp. They were in fantastic 'form' too, having one the three league games prior to this. However, as we all know between Laurent Koscielny's shocker at Wembley and Samir Nasri's failure to track any of Dani Alves' runs, their season was effectively over. Form went out the window.
One can also look to Chelsea's other North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, who, until recent weeks were enjoying their greatest premiership season with, some, labelling them as title contenders. They had just beaten Newcastle 5-0 in arguably the greatest team performance of their recent history. They were on a great run in all competitions before this. This result was AFTER Capello had been sacked and the Redknapp media frenzy had begun. Then it happened. They were leading Arsenal 2-0 and everything was sailing on. The 'form team' was prevailing. Cut to Redknapp making two highly questionable substitutions at half time and they concede 5. Since that horrific defeat, their season has resembled Ledley King's knee - once their rock and epitome of everything stable at the club to being made to look like a pensioner by Grant Holt.
Barcelona are without doubt the greatest club side in the last decade and there are some who say that they are the greatest ever, Graham Souness included. They had won 15 consecutive games until the first leg at Stamford Bridge. They had Chelsea twice and Real Madrid once in 6 days. I'm afraid fixture congestion got the best of even them, as they played parallel pass after parallel pass with no sense of a plan B in the second half at the Nou Camp.
The term 'Form Team' has always been true when talking about Chelsea, just ask AVB. The likes of Terry, Cole, Lampard and Drogba seem to look entirely lost if they haven't won for a while, with fickle fans calling for their heads. However, suddenly like the effects of an acid trip from a bygone time, a couple of victories seems to incur flashbacks of monumental proportions. Last night being the greatest example of this. The 'Old Guard' as the media have branded them, defended like they did with Mourinho at the peak of their careers. Over six years, eight managers have tried and, on the most part, failed to rekindle consistently our defensive excellence between 2004 and 2006. However, rather more occasionally then we have liked it all seems to come back to us once we've picked up a bit of form. This happened under Hiddink and actually again in the climax of last season, where we were two points of staging the greatest premier league title comeback in its history.
In the build up to both Wembley and Munich, you will hear many pundit and journalist alike utter the words 'Well, you can throw the form book out the window.' I urge you just to smile and to think to yourself 'Not with us you can't.'

A probationer who was shot last week after he allegedly pulled a fake handgun on a San Diego police officer in Mira Mesa is in custody after leaving , where he was being treated for a bullet wound to the chest.
Robert McBride Jr., 22, reportedly walked out of the hospital around 5:30 p.m. Thursday, according to police. Officers searched the immediate area for McBride.
According to correspondence overheard on police scanners, the probationer was picked up by police at his grandparents' house in Mid-City at approximately 8:15 p.m.
On Jan. 26, McBride allegedly pulled an object that appeared to be a gun during a confrontation with a San Diego police officer. Sgt. Robert Wills first contacted McBride after seeing him near a row of cars in a retail parking lot at Camino Ruiz and Mira Mesa Boulevard. When Wills asked McBride for identification, he started to hand over his wallet but then ran off, according to police.
Wills chased the probationer until he stopped, turned around and ran back toward the officer while allegedly pulling out what appeared to be a handgun from his waistband, according to police. Fearing for his life, Wills, a 21-year department veteran, opened fire, according to police.
McBride was expected to be booked into county jail on suspicion of exhibiting an imitation firearm in a threatening manner and probation violation upon his recovery.

A friend stopped by last night and was telling us how she had used a "blue" bottle to feed milk to baby kittens. It took us a while to figure out that she was saying "glue" bottle. Communication problems seem to happen in our house all the time. Sometimes the results can be quite humorous as with "no man is an island" turns into "no mayonnaise in Ireland."
With God, there are no translation or communication problems when it comes to our prayers. The God who fashioned our very being and bodies understands our needs as we express them in prayer.
I thought this image fit well with the verse. Ears that large have got to be very sensitive to even the smallest noise or the most distant sound. How sensitive do we think God's ears are? Do we have the faith to "direct our prayer unto thee and will look up?" Lord, help us to have the faith to believe that you hear us.
I hope you have been blessed by Psalm 5 and the accompanying image taken from the Psalm Daily Quotes KJV iPhone app. Please visit our blog, twitter, or Facebook page regularly and pass these posts on to friends that need an encouraging word.

PIA HALLENBERG FROM THE SPOKESMAN: In talking to young people 14 to 18 years old in East Central, Spokane Regional Health District's Peggy Slider heard one common complaint: There is no place to hang out.
"They feel like there's nothing for them," Slider said. "There are programs at the community center, but they are often for young kids, and the community center is often closed when the older kids get out of school."

Papalexis' trial at London's Old Bailey began in June 2009 for the calculated, coldblooded murder of Charalambos Christodoulides before Judge Jeremy Roberts. All of the evidence implicating Papalexis and his two accomplices was heard by the court, including testimony from Hyatt, other investigators and, of course, Rebecca DeFalco, among others. Damning details of Christodoulides being tied to a chair, beaten, tortured and strangled inside his home were given in evidence and testimony. It was perhaps DeFalco's testimony of Papalexis' purported confession that was the most damaging. At one point, Papalexis took the witness stand and told the court that much of what he had told DeFalco was merely part of an elaborate fantasy in which he had engaged during the course of their sexual relationship.
"I wanted her to feel loved and to feel that I was a super-spy and that we would have great sex and great fun together," Papalexis testified. "I have regaled her with stories which would make a screenwriter envious, but I have never mentioned anything to do with this murder. I told her about missions, explosions, car chases, gun battles in the desert, stories that you would see in a movie but nothing to do with the murder of a...gentleman in a warehouse in London."
Before he finished presenting his case against Papalexis to the court, prosecutor Jonathan Laidlaw spelled out the motive for Christodoulides' murder.
"It appears that the victim was condemned to die for no better reason than he was not prepared to leave his home," Laidlaw said. "Papalexis, whilst from a wealthy family, was in a perilous financial position. It was his first major project and the venture had gone disastrously wrong. As pressure mounted, Mr. Papalexis looked at other ways of raising money to save himself."
Perhaps in an effort to underscore Papalexis' unsavory character, Laidlaw explained that after DeFalco resumed e-mail contact with the defendant before his arrest and told him that she had cancer, Papalexis had simply replied, "Bon voyage."
Following a lengthy trial, Papalexis was found guilty of murder in September 2009 and was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. Papalexis' likely release date was shown in legal documents as September 25, 2029.
"You found yourself with a serious problem," Judge Roberts said at sentencing. "You decided to take a life of a harmless and innocent human being...you must have realized what happened, if it became known, would have scuppered the deal. He could not be allowed to live...you are a totally amoral person in the sense that you do not think twice in doing or saying anything which helps you achieve your own ends....This was an execution carried out for financial gain—you treat Charalambos as completely expendable."
"I hope this verdict goes some way to achieving justice for Charalambos and closure for his family," Hyatt said after the trial. "For nine years they suffered enormously knowing that no one had been held accountable for his murder. Despite their pain, they have patiently and wholeheartedly supported this investigation, behaving with great dignity throughout. I thank them for the support they have given me and the officers involved in this investigation."
In February 2010, Ylli Xhelo and Robert Baxhija were found guilty of murder in Christodoulides' death, following the inability of a jury to reach a verdict in earlier proceedings. Judge Roberts sentenced Xhelo to 17 years to life, with a likely release date of February 11, 2027. Roberts sentenced Baxhija to 15 years to life, with a likely release date of February 11, 2025.

My daughter and I enjoyed our dinner and the special butter with bread added to a quite pleasant eventing. The drink list was very interesting and we enjoyed the City Clerk cocktail. We ordered the Steak medium rare and it was prepared exactly to our request. The Veal Chop was wonderful and I am still dreaming the flavors. The manager visited our table three different times throughout the evening to make sure we had everything we wanted. The service could not have been better. Thanks to all who work there for treating us so special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- City Hall - MiamiYankee9VIPDined on 8/2/2014This was the first visit for our party of four. We took advantage of the Miami Spice promotion. The food, service and portion size were excellent. We shall be returning to this restaurant even after the promo ends.Special Features:
- Alex our waiter was excellentLoveMakingReservationsVIPDined on 7/31/2014I coordinated a lunch for an out of the country friend. 2 who live in Broward, another one in the grove and myself. I chose the restaurant for the food but also for the location and parking. I dine here quite often. The service can be spotty at times. Not last Thursday. Alex (been working with Steve over 6 yrs) was very friendly, knowledgeable & accommodating. He also did a great job of taking a couple of group photos of our reunion. Thanks again for everything!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The price was right and the evening was a delight.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- luv2cookluv2cookDined on 6/28/2014My friends and I have always enjoyed eating at City Hall. The food is different and very good, the staff is always friendly and the service is fast. We didn't have the luxury of "dining" this time because we were going to a show at the Arsht Center. However, the hamburger and turkey burgers were divine. City Hall is our go to restaurant when we go downtown.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturdays at City HallRainbowKeeperVIPDined on 6/28/2014It has become a ritual for us to have brunch at city all on Saturdays whenever we are in Miami.

- Good food but too loud for brunch!LouLouDined on 6/15/2014There is live music during brunch and it is super loud!!!! Not very pleasant experience until it was over. Very nice decor.

This will be placed in my book of faves.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not impressedmrmagalDined on 6/11/2014Meatloaf tasted like too much flour and even the mac and cheese was not good! Crab cake appetizer was tasteless! Do not waste your money.
- Brunch at City HallbrunchDined on 6/8/2014The service was not great. We waited over an hour for our food. The waiter was not friendly. The check was incorrect. The overall experience was just not what I expected it to be and what you want a sunday brunch to be like.
- The EaterEATERDined on 6/2/2014This is a local gem. The menu is derversified and interesting. The food is very good and the service was outstanding. The special pour of vodka is a wonderful addition to the menu. I wii be back again for dinner and lunch.Special Features:

- Perfect for Arscht CenterLloydDined on 5/31/2014Just a few blocks from the Arscht, City Hall serves great comfort food and festive drinks in a bright airy space. They are well set up for pre-theater dining. In our case a little too well set up. Main course arrived while we were still eating our soup. But they were very friendly about it and brought it back later when we were ready. This will definitely be our top choice for dinner before the show.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- jackVIPDined on 5/30/2014close to theatre and only open place for late nigth food, but service was very lacking the night I went.Special Features:
- Perfect dinner before a showsobefoodiesVIPDined on 5/29/2014We decided to check out this restaurant before a show at the Archt center last week. The place offers valet which is great and is dark and cozy like a steakhouse. We chose a booth by the glass wall and enjoyed our dinner very much. Ordered the vegetable pizza and was pleasantly surprised with the herbs and quality of the ingredients. Noel our server was very friendly. We only had an hour to enjoy our dinner before the show but it worked out.Special Features:
- Great experienceTotalEclipseDined on 5/25/2014The food and service at the restaurant are super amazing. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, i would go back again.

- Had a great timeOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 5/23/2014Great service, great food, great ambience...enjoyed it. Seating was prompt. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the Mahi Mahi. Very good portion size for the money, tasted wonderful, nice entree overall with excellent selection of veggies. Only complaint would be that there was sand in my squash. Ordered dessert, the chocolate mousse, I think it was. Very good. Overall a very nice dining experience. Would go back again. Additionally, I was looking for the music, but was told that the singer is only on Sundays. Was there on a Friday and would have loved the entertainment.Special Features:

Stacking The Odds
After that, I'm going to go cross-county to spend some time on the treadmill at the other Jesus Gym that's not actually a part-time church - weather here is NOT cooperating. Then I'll swing by a couple of places to pick up a couple of clear bins. I'm working on decluttering an unused room in the house so that we can bring back in the big old ficus tree from outside. It's grown too big for the living room and it's time to go through some stuff that has accumulated and pitch or pack. I LOVE decluttering.
Then I'm thinking of treating myself to a movie - Steve, perhaps.
Take good care of yourself. Be kind others. What can you do right now that will make success easier to come by in the coming week?

I went to see The 500 Days of Summer yesterday. It was cute.ReplyDelete
Love to see your new Elvira look.
Did some major decluttering myself this weekend. I wish it would rain here. So sick of HOT!
Hi, dropping by to check on your blog. Lovely...ReplyDelete
I love decluttering as well! Makes me feel all serene to see a clean, clear space.ReplyDelete
Love your plan for success - the times that I do this, life runs so much smoother.
I saw 500 Days of Summer a couple of weeks ago and it was good. Steve - love Sandra Bullock so that one is on my list! Might go see Extract today if we get everything done early.
I too find that decluttering is helpful in so many ways... plus it burns calories and you're not eating while you do it.ReplyDelete
Sounds like you've got a good plan for the week.
I agree with FMcBPants...I want to see the new Elvira look!

The most silent justice revealed details of his upbringing during an hourlong interview with Yale law professor Akhil Reed Amar, for his new book "America's Unwritten Constitution," Liptak reported.
While Thomas spoke about the burdens of his current job, he also spoke about the influence of religion on the nation and himself.
"I grew up in a religous environment, and I'm proud of it," Thomas said. "I was going to be a priest; I'm proud of it. And I thank God I believe in God or I would probably be enormously angry right now."
Thomas didn't elaborate on the source of that anger, Liptak reported.

Marte Gjefsen was sick throughout the 2011 Winter X-Games and, while she attempted to fight her way through, she didn't end up with the results she was hoping for at the annual event. The 22-year-old from Norway recovered quite nicely in 2012, however, as she'll take home a gold medal after dominating the Women's Skier X final.
Gjefsen stayed in front of fellow Norway native Hedda Berntsen, who took second place in the final, while Australia's Jenny Owens finished Sunday's final with a bronze medal in her possession. It looked like Marielle Thompson was going to pull out the victory with just one-third of the competition left, but she self-destructed and Gjefsen took over the lead on the way to the finish line.
The video below shows the highlights of Gjefsen's performance.
Gjefsen previously won the World Cup in 2010 and finished 11th at the 2010 Winter Olympics before picking up the Skier X final on Sunday.

The 54th annual Grammy Awards will be presented February 12, 2012 in Los Angeles, California. The nominees are voted on and winners selected by members of the Recording Academy.
The Grammy Awards give out 78 different trophies. These are my predictions of the winners in the general and pop categories.
Record of the Year
- Adele - "Rolling In the Deep"
- Bon Iver - "Holocene"
- Bruno Mars - "Grenade"
- Mumford and Sons - "The Cave"
- Katy Perry - "Firework"
It is hard to imagine Adele losing this category. "Rolling In the Deep" truly is a Record of the Year. It set a record for charting on the most different Billboard radio airplay formats ever. "Rolling In the Deep" appealed to the widest range of music afficionados possible.
Album of the Year
- Adele - 21
- Foo Fighters - Wasting Light
- Lady Gaga - Born This Way
- Bruno Mars - Doo-Wops and Hooligans
- Rihanna - Loud
21 does seem like the Album of the Year. It was nearly universally acclaimed by critics and also received the thumbs up from fans represented by being the biggest selling album in a calendar year since 2004. The 2012 Grammy Awards will probably look like a coronation of Adele, and this is one of the prizes.
Song of the Year
- Adele - "Rolling In the Deep"
- Bon Iver - "Holocene"
- Bruno Mars - "Grenade"
- Mumford and Sons - "The Cave"
- Kanye West - "All Of the Lights"
There is no reason to expect an Adele loss in this category either. With all but one of the nominees being the same as the Record of the Year category, it would seem logical to expect the winner to be the same in both categories.
Best New Artist
- The Band Perry
- Bon Iver
- J. Cole
- Nicki Minaj
- Skrillex
This seems to be a very difficult category to call with any of the nominees capable of winning. I will give the nod to the genre, country music, shut out of the top three major awards.
Best Pop Solo Performance
- Adele - "Someone Like You"
- Lady Gaga - "You and I"
- Bruno Mars - "Grenade"
- Katy Perry - "Firework"
- Pink - "F**kin' Perfect"
Another easy win for Adele here. Her performance of "Someone Like You" live at the MTV Video Awards helped it sweep to #1. It is a standout vocal performance that manages to even rise above most of the rest of the 21 album.
Best Pop Duo or Group Performance
- Tony Bennett with Amy Winehouse - "Body and Soul"
- The Black Keys - "Dearest"
- Coldplay - "Paradise"
- Foster the People - "Pumped Up Kicks"
- Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera - "Moves Like Jagger"
By giving a victory to this recording of "Body and Soul," Grammy voters can simultaneously recognize the all too short singing career and life of Amy Winehouse and the phenomenal six decades of achievement by Tony Bennett. This is clearly a sentimental favorite.
Best Pop Instrumental Album
- Jenny Oaks Baker - Wish Upon a Star
- Daniel Ho - E Kahe Malie
- Booker T. Jones - The Road From Memphis
- Dave Koz - Hello Tomorrow
- Brian Setzer - Setzer Goes Instru-Mental!
Booker T. Jones is a soul and pop music legend with his band Booker T. and the MGs providing backing for many classic records on the Stax label. This award could shine a light on his highly valuable contributions.
Best Pop Vocal Album
- Adele - 21
- Cee Lo Green - The Lady Killer
- Lady Gaga - Born This Way
- Bruno Mars - Doo-Wops and Hooligans
- Rihanna - Loud
Adele's album is a master class in pop vocal styling. She should have no difficulty taking home another victory in this category. If anyone has an opportunity to sneak in and take this award away it would likely be Bruno Mars' highly praised vocals.
Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album
- Tony Bennett and Various Artists - Duets II
- Susan Boyle - The Gift
- Harry Connick, Jr. - In Concert On Broadway
- Seth MacFarlane - Music Is Better Than Words
- Barbra Streisand - What Matters the Most
Duets II brought 85 year old Tony Bennett his very first #1 album. It is a musical event with stellar performances on pop standards by both Tony Bennett and his duet partners. It brought music of this category to the widest possible audience and deserves a victory here.

An Iranian Moderate Exposed
Ali Alfoneh & Reuel Gerecht, The New Republic
The Associated Press
Above all else, Rouhani and Zarif aim to preserve the Islamic revolution, not to transform it, as was the passion of the fallen left-wing Islamist revolutionaries who gathered round Khatami and briefly resurfaced in the pro-democracy Green Movement, which Khamenei crushed in 2009. (Neither Rouhani nor Zarif raised a word against the brutal crackdown.) Although Khamenei unquestionably would have preferred Saeed Jalili to be president, he has probably lucked out with Rouhani. Rouhani at home and Zarif abroad are infinitely more effective at hunar-e ta'amul. While Rouhani tries to re-weave the unity of the Iranian elite, badly frayed by the turmoil of 2009, and by Khamenei's vindictive demolition of Rafsanjani's political network, and by the anti-clerical populism of Ahmadinejad,...

In a battle of two struggling franchises, we can expect to see plenty of points put on the board tonight at the Superdome. The Saints average 27.1 points per game, and while the Eagles offense isn't clicking lately, playing this defense seems to be a remedy for any offense with issues.
There are quite a few fantasy studs on both offenses, so you matchups this week could very well come down to Monday night. It's easy to say go ahead and start just about every notable name on these two rosters, but let's take a closer look at who you need to start in Week 9, and who needs to head to your bench.
Michael Vick, quarterback - Guess who's giving up the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this year? The Saints pass defense is laughably bad. Even with Vick's issues as of late, you should still feel confident about starting him in Week 9. You should feel confident about starting just about any quarterback against this defense.
LeSean McCoy, running back - Guess who's giving up the most fantasy points to opposing running backs this year? The Saints run defense is laughab...wait, we've heard this already. You get the point. Their defense is almost nonexistent. Shady managed his first rushing touchdown since Week 2 against the Falcons, and he's also caught a receiving touchdown in three straight games now. Obviously you're starting him, just like every other week.
Jeremy Maclin & DeSean Jackson, wide receiver - New Orleans allowed 11 touchdowns to opposing receivers in the past four games. Jackson is actually putting in more consistent performances, but both receivers are bound to go off this week. Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker accounted for three touchdowns against NOLA in Week 8. Starting Maclin and Jackson is a wise decision.
Brent Celek, tight end - This is the same defense that made Dallas Clark look like a viable fantasy starter again. Celek may not be putting up impressive numbers, but he's bound to break out at some point. Of course that depends on Vick's status as well. The Saints have only allowed one touchdown (see: Clark) in 2012 to tight ends, but that's probably due to the fact that opposing receivers are constantly wide open downfield. Celek has a decent chance at a solid day, though we'll understand if you're not willing to roll with him given his recent performances.
Eagles defense/special teams - While the Saints offense struggled last week in Denver, their offense always seems to turn on the juice at home. The Eagles gave up three touchdowns to Matt Ryan, a mark that can be easily matched by Brees. As the defense continues to rebuild, if you want to call it that, you can probably find a better option in Week 9.
Drew Brees, quarterback - The Eagles pass defense has been up and down. Matt Ryan managed three touchdowns through the air last week, and we can expect bigger things from the man who always shines in this situation. Brees has thrown 22 touchdowns and just five picks in seven Monday night games. He also turns up his play in the Superdome. If you're sitting Brees, it's hard to tell what your strategy is this week, or any week for that matter.
Pierre Thomas, running back - Darren Sproles is not suiting up, so Thomas' value only goes up from here. The Eagles have given up three-straight 100-yard games to opposing rushers. While the Saints aren't exactly in love with the run game, they need to feed Thomas more. He'll likely see a few more targets in the passing game as well. He's worth a start this week.
Marques Colston & Lance Moore, wide receiver - Philly has given up 356 yards and three touchdowns to receivers in the past two games. Colston is always worth a start in the Saints high-octane passing game. He's stepped up his game lately, and still managed five catches for 63 yards with Brees struggling last week. Moore can be hit-or-miss, but with Sproles out New Orleans will likely keep the receivers more involved. Given the fact that every Saints game seems to become a shootout, you can feel somewhat confident about Moore in your lineup.
Jimmy Graham, tight end - Graham returned from injury and caught a garbage time touchdown against the Broncos. He's one of the top fantasy tight ends, so if he's healthy you're obviously starting him. The Saints kept Tony Gonzalez in check last week, but the Falcons kept a commanding lead throughout the game, so it wasn't vital to keep passing. The Saints are always battling for the lead. Graham is a huge weapon for Brees, and he should fare well this week.
Saints defense/special teams - If you enjoy losing, definitely give the Saints D/ST a start.
