I like the article, but I think he made a mistake to assume that netizens in China are the elites.
And contrary to Downey's point that because netizens are the elites, whatever happens on internet is "less than peripheral", I think it is exactly because the netizens are the mass, and the most grass-root population, that makes them so powerful. They suffer the most from the current system, and they really have so little to lose in this game to hold up to their rights.

Rail tickets through Net: Panel favours more payment options
Our Bureau
New Delhi , Aug. 30
WITH an aim to popularise rail ticket booking through the Internet, a Parliamentary Committee has asked the Railways to make available more payment options such as cash cards across a well spread out network.
At present, the payment mechanism for ticket booking through the Internet requires usage of credit or debit cards.
"IRCTC should make available cash cards of various denominations which could be distributed through the network of PCO booths, general stores, travel agents, etc so that anyone wishing to make payment can quote the cash card number and payment would be instantly made," stated a Parliamentary Standing Committee Report on Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation (IRCTC).
While the PSU did launch a pre-paid cash card earlier this year called ITZ Cash, it is yet to catch up probably due to lack of wide distribution network, said officials.
Explaining why payment mechanism could be a limiting factor, it pointed out that credit and debit card penetration is not high.
Moreover, even those who have credit cards are generally reluctant to share their card details over the Internet for security reasons.
Internet ticket booking facility has been extended to over 150 towns, with over 6,000 tickets being booked on a daily basis. Over 10 million tickets, booked through the Internet, have been delivered till date.
Moreover, IRCTC also plans to make it possible for people to book their tickets through their landlines.
The public sector unit, which started the process of booking tickets through Internet in August 2002, expanded this facility to mobile phones in September 2004 by tying up with leading cellular operators.
On Rail Neer, the packaged drinking water sold by the Railways, the Committee has suggested that IRCTC should consider supplying water in alternative low-cost packages or pouches to reduce the overall cost of Rail Neer.
It has also suggested that pouches of different volumes be introduced in the market.

Victor Oladipo had 20 points and six rebounds and Jordan Hulls knocked down four 3-pointers, helping No. 5 Indiana hold off No. 8 Minnesota's late charge for an 88-81 victory Saturday.
The Hoosiers (15-1, 3-0 Big Ten) have won six straight overall and 18 in a row at Assembly Hall.
Minnesota (15-2, 3-1) was led by Andre Hollins with 25 points but had its 11-game winning streak snapped despite rallying from 23 points down at halftime to within 3 with 19.5 seconds left.
The game flipped midway through the first half when Hulls got the 3-pointer flurry started. He and Oladipo combined for 16 points in an 18-2 run that gave Indiana a 34-17 first-half lead. The Hoosiers extended the halftime lead to 52-29.
Minnesota rallied with a 19-7 run in the final four minutes, getting as close as 84-81 but never had a chance to tie the score.

A once-fired Bossier City police officer will keep his job, thanks to a decision Tuesday from the Louisiana Supreme Court.
Back in 2009, Philip Vernon helped arrest Bossier prosecutor Sherb Sentell after an incident at a local casino.
When Vernon was fired for allegedly filing a false police report, his attorney Joel Pearce fired back, saying it was retaliation.
Vernon was eventually reinstated by the Civil Service Board, won a battle for back pay and to have a 90-day suspension removed from his record.
The City of Bossier continued fighting, however, appealing to higher courts to uphold Vernon's firing. During that time, Vernon was kept on desk duty.
After three years of legal battles, through the district courts, the appellate court and finally the Supreme Court of Louisiana, Vernon and his attorney are claiming victory, saying Tuesday's decision reinforcing his reinstatement to the force sends a message to Bossier City.
"This decision today will stop the political persecution of Officer Vernon. It'll enable him to go back and serve the citizens of Bossier, and putting criminals behind bars."
Vernon describes the last three years as a nightmare. When asked how he feels he'll be received after so much battling with the people he'll be working for, he says, "The people I've been working for and working with in the administration have actually shown some support towards me. I feel like it's going to be a new beginning."

Watch this video of Marshon Brooks dropping 52 against Notre Dame. Who does this kid remind you of?
His downside is that he is 22 years old, but he had similar scoring performances this year against prominent teams such as Georgetown and Alabama. Regardless, I don't understand how he is ranked as a second round pick by ESPN. Would he be worth a look for the Wizards?

On Oct. 8, the team hosted Walton-Verona High School.
The two teams met earlier in the year in the Eighth Region All 'A' Classic championship game. The Bearcats won that game 7-0.
The result last week was not all that different as Walton-Verona would prevail 6-0. On Oct. 10, the Rebels welcomed Villa Madonna to Patterson Field where the two teams would play to a 0-0 tie.

Petershagen BrewFest 2006 by CrapMonkey_Travis - about 8 years ago
"This is a picture from our annual brewfest. It's like a potluck for beer. We provide the cups, everyone else brings a 12 pack of fine micro and craft beers from around the globe. Ballots are submitted and prizes awarded to those who bring the best(and worst) beers. Needless to say, the event always turns out to be a great time. This was the first time I used CustomInk and it was, by far, the easiest and most flexible way to get the mugs I needed. I created the mug and previewed it in the lab, a short time later, those exact mugs showed up at my door!"

I posted an extremely fair post about Porto and this campaign.. but unfortunately it digitally evaporated..
Anyways I agree with Nuno Gomes, Torpiano, and Mdot with most of their statements...
I am not big on the gloaters..
You have to commend the squad because even with a poor Manager they are still only 5 points out with a long second half still to come.. that is two mistakes.. and Benfica loses the title.. in a league with some poor officials.. not saying anyone is cheating.. mistakes happen.. that is not a huge gap.. not like AVB's lead last year with almost exactly the same team.
Although without Falcao.. who I said was the main catalyst.. Hulk is put into perspective.. AVB's departure also drained the team of confidence.. and it hurt more than anything when the captain left the ship.. before the women and children.
Anyways this Porto is still a great squad and when you add Lucho they even get better.. although under VP that all could be wasted.. after they fire VP.. and Benfica gets stripped in the summer it could be a whole new game next season.
For some of those gloaters.. I will remind you that with a great team last year.. JJ ended up 20+ points out.. and it was over by mid-season. Porto is not out yet.
Anyways Benfica does have a great squad this year and it shows.. although the first half was full of tight games.. they had the talent off the bench when it counted.. and unlike last year have rarely dropped points.
Just like a couple of weeks ago where they were being outplayed and were drawn 1-1 with Gil Vicente I knew a big result was coming.. and with subs the game would turn.. sure enough within minutes they were up 3-1. It is a huge difference from the last decade. LFV has a very deep deep squad.. and even if JJ rwas forced to his Portuguese talent he woulld still win games if not by a wider margin.
As Nuno Gomes stated mistakes happen all season and for the most part they even out for the big clubs. The truth is that a recent study in the last decade in the English Premiership proved that the big clubs got a healthy bounce.. not because the Ref was cheating.. it was because the cognitive bias of the official that the higher paid squad that had a history of winning that they were the better team and that the other team would have to cross over the line to stop that top level team.
Man Utd were the team with the most penalties in those studies as they were consistently winning the league.
So our Refs who are under huge pressure each week because the tabloid media is allowed to circumcize them weekly make more mistakes.. especially when it concerns the big teams.. but over a season it is somewhat fair..
I don't think there is any golden whistle going on here.. it is just a cognitive bias towards to better teams.. and it will balance out throughtout the season.
Like Torpiano said eloquently the additions of some of these new players and especially Lucho.. Porto looks better and deeper.
Also Mdot and his leveled statement that VP took such a strong squad and weakened it.. I agreed with as well as his stsatemtns of how close and how Lucho will help.. he is on point.
So the few sucky Porto poster and some of the Benfica gloaters are all dropping the ball. As a Liga fan there is much still to be played forbut clearly Benfica has the squad to finish this year and beyond total collapse.. some Benfica fans were already making excuses with CL play.. and it affecting results in the Liga.. get serious this team is built with huge depth some of which is Portuguese and never plays.
So throwing some Portuguese players into big matches late as players go down.. does not scare me.. if anything I look forward to it.. winning and talented players blowing through to replace the team that willl be stripped of at east 3 starters in the summer maybe even 4, maybe even JJ will be gone making that 5 key members of the starting squad missing for next season.
I personally think without buying anyone.. Benfica already has a squad to still compete for the title next year.. it will be as good as this squad.. just without as much depth.. although there are some huge Portuguese additions that will amaze some others.. and wonder why they were loaned or benched this year.
Anwyas Porto's season is still not lost a good run and a second Europa title could be within reach.. the only problem is VP..

Gil Vicente shock Porto
An unforgettable day in the LigaSunday's four Liga matches produced seventeen goals, countless talking points, and seismic consequences for the rest of the season – at both ends of the table. The headline came in Barcelos, where Porto's near-record breaking unbeaten run was ended emphatically by the superb Gil Vicente, who ran out convincing 3-1 winners. Elsewhere, Sporting returned to winning ways at home to Beira-Mar, whilst Pacos and Olhanense picked up vital wins over relegation-threatened Leiria and Setubal.
Gil Vicente 3-1 PortoHaving watched Benfica extend their lead at the top of the table in Santa Maria da Feira on Saturday night, Porto travelled to Barcelos knowing that despite the absences of Fernando and Hulk, nothing less than a victory would do. Souza and Kleber started in their places, whilst Vitor Pereira once again named Danilo among the substitutes.
Gil held the Dragons in an entertaining 2-2 draw in the Taca da Liga last season, but went into this fixture without a Liga win in five matches. However, Paulo Alves' men were able to absorb Porto's early pressure, and turn the opening half into a tense, cagey affair.
Set pieces are inevitably vital under such circumstances, and with fifteen minutes gone, the home side took advantage of one such opportunity. Richard curled a left-footed free kick into the Porto area from the right wing, and despite being surrounded by a teammate and a trio of markers, centre back Claudio was able to flick a header beyond Helton with his back to goal.
Porto responded to the goal by upping their tempo slightly, but the gaps left by both Fernando and Hulk were visible, as the Dragons continued to resemble a team out of sorts. James, Varela and Moutinho were assiduous in their efforts to thread a path through the massed red shirts, but Gil kept them at arm's length.
A one-goal lead would have been bad enough, but moments before the interval, Gil struck again. Otamendi was adjudged to have handled a cross in, and Claudio stepped up dispatch the spot-kick. Replays indicated that there had been an offside in the build-up, but neither official had spotted it, and the goal stood.
The fires of controversy were fanned either side of the interval, when first Defour and then Kleber had penalty appeals waved away by Bruno Paixao. The first was explained by an apparent handball from the Belgian, though the second (a collision between Kleber and Gil goalkeeper Adriano) appeared less clear-cut.
The only thing that could have further stoked the flames was a third goal from Gil, and sure enough, they struck once again on 52 minutes. Porto, who had thrown both Danilo and Belluschi into the fray, were caught with men upfield, and a delicious clipped through ball from Hugo Vieira sent Andre Cunha haring in on goal. The midfielder, a native of Barcelos, raised the roof by keeping his head, turning Rolando inside out, and rifling home with Helton stranded.
The 7439 spectators present were, depending on allegiance, by now in deep states of ecstasy or despair, and their players mirrored this during the final 25 minutes. Porto poured forward in search of a goal, with Belluschi a particularly insistent presence. For their part, Gil dug in and hung on, looking to strike on the counter whenever possible.
With thirteen minutes remaining, their defences were finally breached. Belluschi received the ball in space and picked out Varela with a precise side-footed pass, and the onrushing winger gathered on the run before curling a left-footed strike over Adriano's fingertips and into the net.
Previously rooted to the spot, Vitor Pereira burst into life, exhorting his exhausted players on as the game sped towards injury time. Adriano diverted a fierce James strike from a narrow angle behind for a corner; and moments later he tipped a goal bound header from Kleber over the bar, to roars of appreciation from the delirious home support.
That was to be Porto's last chance. After 717 days and 55 matches, the Dragon's unbeaten run in the Primeira Liga has come to an end. The long-term consequences are yet to be revealed, but one thing is already certain: momentum in the race for the title has swung firmly in the direction of Benfica, who are now five points clear at the top of the table.
[1-0] Claudio 15'
[2-0] Claudio (P) 45'
[3-0] Andre Cunha 52'
[1-3] Varela 77'
Gil Vicente: Adriano; Junior Caicara, Claudio, Halisson, Daniel; Luis Manuel, Pedro Moreira; Richard (Guilherme 77'), Andre Cunha (Mauro 82'), Rodrigo Galo (Barbosa 86'); Leandrinho.
Porto: Helton; Maicon, Otamendi (Danilo 45'), Rolando, Alvaro Pereira; Souza (Belluschi 45'), Joao Moutinho, Defour (Cristian Rodriguez 74'); Varela, Kleber, James Rodriguez.
Sporting 2-0 Beira-MarAfter six matches without a win, injury-hit Sporting welcomed Beira-Mar to the Alvalade hoping to avoid a repeat of the dour 0-0 the two sides produced back in August. Domingos handed Sebastian Ribas his Liga debut alongside Jeffren and Capel up front, whilst Alberto Rodriguez returned to the heart of defence alongside Onyewu. Sporting loanee Atila Turan started on the Beira-Mar bench, as the Aveiro club looked to halt a run of three straight losses.
Despite their poor form, the away side began the game strongly, winning a number of set pieces during the early stages and displaying a compact, pressing-based game that belied their mid-table status. However, Sporting soon began to manufacture dead-ball opportunities of their own, with Joao Pereira and Emiliano Insua supplementing the darting runs of Diego Capel and Jeffren.
It was the latter who provided the assist for the opening goal on eighteen minutes. After seeing a poor corner turned behind, the Spaniard produced a more penetrative delivery with his second attempt, and Oguchi Onyewu rose high to nod beyond Jonas from eight yards out.
O gigante norte-Americano has already developed a happy knack for scoring vital goals this season, and he popped up with a second, near-identical effort just before the half-hour mark. This time it was Capel who swung in a free kick from the right-hand side, and Onyewu again beat Hugo to glance into the left-hand corner of the net.
Buoyed by their two-goal advantage, the Lions saw out the remainder of the first half without much trouble, but just as was the case in the first half, Beira-Mar surged forward after the restart. Rui Patricio was a busy man for a spell, displaying good hands to punch clear a number of incisive deliveries. Zhang almost pulled one back for the away side, but the Chinese forward saw his effort ricochet off the crossbar.
Yet just as was the case during the opening half, the Lions soon established control over proceedings, and were it not for some excellent goalkeeping from Jonas to deny Ribas, would have ran out more comfortable winners. But given their start to the New Year, the manner of the victory will be of secondary importance to Sporting; who move to within two points of Braga in the table.
[1-0] Onyewu 18'
[2-0] Onyewu 27'
Sporting: Rui Patricio; Joao Pereira, Onyewu, Rodriguez, Insua; Renato Neto (Andre Santos 59'), Elias, Matias Fernandez (Andre Martins 70'); Jeffren (Carrillo 56'), Ribas, Capel.
Beira-Mar: Jonas; Pedro Moreira, Hugo, Yohan Tavares, Joaozinho (Turan 87'); Nuno Coelho; Zhang, Artur, Nildo, Elio (Serginho 62'); Douglas.
Leiria 2-4 Pacos14th hosted 16th in Marinha Grande, as both Manuel Cajuda and Henrique Calisto attempted to draw on their veteran wiles with the aim of securing survival, against lengthening odds. The home side got off to the perfect start after John Ogu produced an acrobatic finish to Obradovic's ball in, but eighteen minutes later Manuel Jose netted his fourth goal in three games to level the scores.
The veteran wide man has been in inspired form of late, and his hot streak continued with 28 minutes gone, when he struck again to give Pacos an improbable lead. However, Ogu had no intentions of being outdone, and the Nigerian's second of the afternoon put the two sides level at the interval. Four minutes after the restart Michel restored Pacos' lead, and the burly Brazilian put the result beyond doubt on 75 minutes.
Setubal 2–3 OlhanenseAfter being handed a vote of confidence by President Fernando Oliveira despite offering to resign last weekend, Setubal coach Bruno Ribeiro would have been delighted to see his side go 2-0 up on Olhanense inside ten minutes; through a Meyong penalty and a Fernando Alexandre own goal.
But Setubal's wretched form (they began the game searching for their first Liga win since September 30th soon reappeared, and a five-minute brace from Yontcha saw Olhanense peg them back before the half hour mark. A period of calm followed, but with twelve minutes left on the clock Ismaily completed a memorable comeback for Olhanense, netting to leave Setubal bottom of the table and Ribeiro's future once more in doubt.

I am a die hard Porto have, always have always will. But to be honest, Vitor Pereira might just be the worst, more cockiest,arrogant and down wright stupidest coach we have ever had. Every time we lose, he tells the media a bunch of BS and never admits that he just sucks at being a coach. He fed off what AVB had done for a good 2 months, but now its over and you can see how fragile Porto are. He has no leadership, you can tell the players arent as motivated, and his decisions are ridiculous. I mean, Danilo broke the record for highest transfer fee, and Fucile left. Logically, anyone with half a brain would place Danilo in that spot where he belongs. But no, he puts Maicon. Ridiculous. Benfica are 5 points ahead,and good. Because if Porto somehow managed to win the Liga this year, it might give Vitor Pereira a chance to stay at the helm. I really hope Benfica trash Porto, make VP look like an idiot, so that PdC can open his eyes and get rid of this guy. Honest he was better as an assisstant. Kind of like Queiroz.
Still with the tunnels?
27 Thursday, 02 February 2012 13:24
It's hilarious that Tripeiro fans are still screaming about "tunnels". I haven't heard much about "golden whistles".
even Porto players, Sapunaru for one, have admitted that their behavior that day was malicious.
We all know that the "big 3" get preferential treatment. The same can be said about the big clubs in other leagues.
The bigger question Tripeiros should be asking themselves is whether vp can manage and lead this club. So far he's been very inadequate.

Please Porto's only game that I will admit that we had help was against Gil Vicente, but I guess Gil Vicente got there revenge. Im not defending how well porto played. Hell I was pissed that they couldnt string 3 passes together. i think this has been a worse game this year.
2 penaltys clear as day missed, one goal that came offside, the first goal came off a foul where both players came up with a high foot.
And to the haters, Gloaters,
The Tunnels are back.
Its amazing how everyone screams conspiracy when porto wins, but when benfica does it they just look the other way.
Continue to look bad

VP has proved to be an incapable manager. Hulks comments of him not giving his all, pretty much falls on the manager.
There's still a ton of football left, Andaman CL run could hurt Benficas league play.
Lucho will also bring much needed leadership. I'm surprised Moutinho hasn't asserted himself in that role more.
Then again PdC has missed some more payments.
23 Monday, 30 January 2012 20:43
I agree that a deep CL run will give Benfica some extra stress as they will likely want to rest players in League play to push for the CL dream. We can beat Zenit and at the Quarter-final level your just 5games away from that title.
As for domestic play, I do think Lucho could spice things up on the team, the question is if they can get this Porto team back in form before the March 4th weekend. Outside of poking fun at Porto I will admit that 5points is an easy gap to close but if things stay the same and we beat Porto, an 8 point gap in March will really start killing their dreams of a back to back title.
Personally I think Porto fans have VP to blame. You only had one main player leave and almost 30million spent in transfers. Somehow VP took this unbeatable team and made them look extremely fragile in most games. A defeat like this has been coming for some time given some of their performances. Lucho could add that missing leadership but the question will be if the new crop of Porto players will show him the respect the fans do.
poor but long way to go
22 Monday, 30 January 2012 18:56
Porto were poor, really poor.
I'm not even going to complain about the officials, even if there were some mistakes.
As I was watching the game I was thinking that a bad performance might just encourage some panic buying in the next 48 hours or so...
And less than a day later it look's like El Comandante is returning to FCP and Marc Janko could be joing us too.
Lucho's return will hopefully give the dressing room a lift and his influence could help bring a spark back to Porto's midfield.
Janko could be the goalscorer we badly need. Kleber is hopeless. We haven't replaced Falcao and while Janko is not technically that gifted, he knows how to score goals, a bit like another striker we used to have with the initials MJ!!
5 points is a lot to make up. SLB are clearly looking a better side than us at the moment, but there is still a long way to go in the season and we will see if SLB can keep up their impressive run of results. The Champions League could distract them if they reach the Quarters/Semis too.
Clearly everyone in Portugal wants SLB to be champions this year apart from anyone associated with Porto. But in this kind of adversity, we must try harder to conquer.
Porto miseria
21 Monday, 30 January 2012 18:40
As a Porto for more years than i can remember i'm well used to the sublime and the ridiculous - but such a poor result in a very tight run in is almost unforgivable. What chance have we got at the Luz in a few weeks time? I know I keep saying it but what the hell was the point of splashing out over twenty three million Euros on Sandro and Danilo when the central defense are not worthy of the name. Rolando, Maicon and even Otamendi look like headless chickens alot of the time, how about getting some half decent players in those positions?
Benfica and Porto
20 Monday, 30 January 2012 17:29
Everyone stop complaining.
Refs always make mistakes and by the end of the season mistakes made for a team will pretty much equal mistake made against the team.
In the Benfica game Feirenses goal was unjustly dissallowed, but if that went in their standing goal now would not have been scored due to that goal coming from the free kick from that offside call.
Other than that call in that game the mistakes were very little and so the result that came out would probably been the end result anyways
Now in the Porto game there were many mistakes, but if you watch the whole game the mistakes almost cancel each other out and add the fact Porto played really bad and created almost no chances up until the end of the game the result is very just.
To the mistakes:
1- Gil's penaly was offside in the build up, but the ref also missed a penalty for Gil between the time of the penalty that was called and the first goal, so no matter what it would have been 2-0
2- porto had appealed for two penalties but onecannot be because the porto player hand balls it. Now the other penalty appeal can be argued. I am reffering to the kleber one. One could argue the goalkeeper did not touch the ball and he touched kleber. One could also argue that the touch was not enough for the call along with kleber looking for the foul and so putting his leg toward the goalkeeper while freely falling and that the ball got away from kleber and so if he did stay up and went after the ball he would not have gotten to it. This call is based on which side of this argument the ref sees fits better. Now even if it was called I believe it would have only made it 3-1 which is just as difficult to come back from.
3- lastly, Rolando when he recieved a yellow card for a foul, it was judged incorrectlybecause the foul was terrible and really deserved a send off. If porto weredown by 2-3 goals and down a man it is gauranteed they would not come back.
So no matter how you look at both these games the final result would mist likely have been the same.
On another note it was nice to actually see porto not favoured by the refs, I can't remeber the last time I saw porto play and that happenned( let me say that I don't watch all their games because I am not a Porto fan but a Santa Clara fan, but I do watch most their games to cheer a loss upon them)

18 Monday, 30 January 2012 15:38
were the comments from Victor Pereira. Mark/Toronto hit the nail on the head. This guy is nothing but excuses, whining and sour grapes. He has never measured up from the beginning (but to be fair, AVB set the bar so high last year that whomever took the reigns was destined for a letdown...) and has gone from bad to worse. I have yet to hear one Porot fan or pundit simply say "we played bad, Gil were a better team...". Instead, you get the usual conspiracy theories and such. Sure, Porto didnt have Hulk, but it looks like Fernando was a much bigger loss yesterday. He is the backbone of that team, no doubt. Man up people, its a loss... deal with it...
Referees again

Is the standard of refereeing going down? I know in Portugal there have been issues for a few years, it seems like more and more post match chat isn't about the game but is about bad decisions, even more so in the English Premier league.
I think it's time for video replays of major incidents.
VP a little sour?
16 Monday, 30 January 2012 14:44
Wow! Again to be a successful coach accept defeat and tell the media you will correct the mistakes and get back to your winning ways. Why is this guy stressing and blaming the refs. Calls go either way and have for centuries every team has had their bad days with calls. We just crossed the half way point and there are lots of points to play for. Look at Mourinho he's up by 7 and still telling the media that 7 pts isn't anything. Over here VP is stressing and showing weakness down by 5.
Regardless let me just say VP and Quierios will always be known as assistances to great men NEVER the man.
porto v gil vicente
15 Monday, 30 January 2012 13:33
Watched some of the 2nd half...saw Gil Vicente's 3rd goal and was very impressed with Andre Cunha for turning his marker inside out like that and finishing strong into the opposite corner. Great skill from him. Unfortunately, his marker was Rolando, who will likely be playing for Portugal in this summer's Euro championship should anything happen to either B. Alves or Pepe. Scary thought.
It was really shocking to see Porto struggle the way they did in this match, but they really were missing Hulk, who usually gets them out of these kinds of situations. Lots of young talent on this Porto squad and they could be really good in a few years if they keep all of it, but right now they are in rebuilding mode, especially with the loss of AVB as coach. Also, sure wouldn't hurt to have Radamel Falcao around ;)
It's Vieira's election year
14 Monday, 30 January 2012 13:23
of course there would be tunnels this season! LOL
Shock result for Porto!
13 Monday, 30 January 2012 12:53
It seems the league title is destined for the LUZ!
Forca SLB!
too funny
12 Monday, 30 January 2012 12:45
Yea for once Porto got one bad call and I'll give their fans that, before the Porto player blatantly give a handball, the guy crossing into the box would have been just slightly off side. So lets just call it a 2-1 loss.
Look at Sporting getting robbed for several back to back games at the start of this season, or Benifca getting the same treatment for several games at the start of last season. This is the one rare time we get to see Porto get one slightly bad call and they would have still lost the game if that call hadn't happen.
VP add this to your quote of the Day
11 Monday, 30 January 2012 12:00
I resign!
10 Monday, 30 January 2012 08:07
Benfica this, Porto that. Some people are just sour.
Sledgehammer Toronto
9 Monday, 30 January 2012 07:30
If VP said it best " If the League wants to take them (Benfica) in the arms, then let them. Its an excuse for the fact that he can not compete against Benfica and the great job AVB last year, he (Vitor Pereira) sucks he lost in Champions league and is not doing so well in the league. So don't blame the league for the fact that this year Porto sucks and nobody want to play for VP.
Forca Benfica
Sledgehammer Toronto
8 Monday, 30 January 2012 03:52
Last year it was Porto getting the help and Benfica fighting for points, so suck it up thats the game in Portugal
Thank you Gil Vicente
Forca Benfica
whats the going rate for a ref these days?
7 Monday, 30 January 2012 01:11
Porto gets screwed... and anyone that plays benfica gets screwed... it's like the sequel of the 2009-10 season
it's not even a strong year for porto and they still have to resort to this crap
6 Monday, 30 January 2012 00:56
don't you just love how porto just don't know how to lose? hard luck. looks like you'll have to start all over again to beat our unbeaten record! viva o nosso benficaaaaa!!!
5 Sunday, 29 January 2012 22:51
Porto fans aren't used to losing!
Porto played like garbage, did NOT deserve a tie, none the less a win! Before any controversy, Porto was down 1-0 against a sufficating Gil Vicente team on a difficult pitch!
Porto played their worst game of the year in the liga. Can't win them all, and when you lose, stop acting like bitches and don't talk, cause you sound like The fans you hate soooo much!
Guess they know how it feels
4 Sunday, 29 January 2012 22:44
im guessing Porto fans knows how it feels now yea referees have been horrible but arent they every week this isnt the firs time benfica has had luck with refs but Porto fans dont forget how much luck u have had. and we always say porto cheats or porto fans say benfica cheat look how unlucky sporting have been this season with refs there not saying porto or benfica is being carried by refs
3 Sunday, 29 January 2012 22:26
Its been clear and evident every week who is going to been the Champion this week. It seems like every week Benfica is helped and Porto has to struggle to points on the board. This week was the worst one yet.
The Benfica game, Firense with a clear goal being called back, Javi Garica Judo chops one of Firenses players in the throat only gets a yelllow, may clear fouls for firense that never get called, Cardozo flopping around in the box hoping for a call.
The Porto game, Porto did not deserve to lose this game but they all so didnt deserve to win it either.
Firstly, foul on Defour that was some how missed. The Pk awarded to Gil came off of an offside play. This here was what killed Porto this game. Porto was playing like shit but this just put them in a bigger slump.
But at the end of the game VP said it best " If the League wants to take them (Benfica) in the arms, then let them.
Big result!!!
2 Sunday, 29 January 2012 22:17
I had a funny feeling about this fixture that Gil Vicente could come up with something! They gave a good account of themselves at Da Luz last week, and their stadium is not an easy place to go to, Benfica only got a point there earlier in the season. I thought Gil Vicente was good enough to get another point tonight, but I didn't expect them to actually win and break Porto's unbeaten run, it's still a shock result for sure. Porto really missed their 2 most important players, Hulk and Fernando, and both of these will be hard to replace should they move on.
This leaves Benfica finally with a little cushion on top. The momentum has been more with the Eagles this season and so far we have played more like champions than Porto have. But of course there is a long way to go yet, and many matches to be played. Porto cannot afford to drop many more points now, so bigger pressure on them. The Classico at Da Luz in March has just become even more massive!!!
Strange weekend
1 Sunday, 29 January 2012 22:05
Looks like the referees are gonna get it in the neck this week. Didn;t Beira Mar also hit the post? J Perreira also out of the big game in Madeira next week..

Cool little video, I havent seen it on here before, so I hope no one has posted it already.
Cool little video, I havent seen it on here before, so I hope no one has posted it already.
I know people will moan and I've read some of the YouTube comments, but that is so faked.
- There is possibly someone sitting behind him with a wireless keyboard and mouse.
- If you looke closely, you will notice that the blue light on the remote does not come on until part way throught the video.
- Movement of the remote is not consistant with the character movement. (I.e. sometimes there is lag, sometimes it is spot on and sometimes it is pre-emptive).
And finaly, anyone who actualy has time to really do this needs to discover what is outside his front door.

Think before posting Ask a dumb question and prepare to be owned.
FYI - Internet is always a capital I. Look it up!
nonetheless, a very good job, whether it is fake or not. Props to that man!
No, its real. On WiiLii, there are several programs that let you use the wii remote with the computer. I think he was using GlovePie. All you need is an IR source, a bluetoot adapter for your computer, and of course, your wii controller.
yes its real i did it my self.
Install the software GLOVEPIE on any pc with bluetooth and enjoy your wiiremote on your pc!
U can do way more than play old zelda games, u can play drums with your wiimote (with 2 stick if u have 2 wiimotes), travel on google earth just like forecast channel, mess up with your wiimote leds, control windows media player, winamp, etc....
I guess is too easy to say its fake just because you dont understand how it works right ?

Makeup Artists' Tricks of the Trade
More Tips and TricksSky-High Cheekbones
For a higher cheekbone, Levin suggests using a cheek color with a hint of frost: "I love Senna Cosmetics' sheer face color in Charmed ($18). Use a fan-shaped brush instead of a large blush brush, hold it at an angle parallel to your hairline, angle it up toward your ear, and brush the color from your hairline inward toward your nose (you should not go all the way to your nose, but get pretty close). You don't want to smile when you apply it, but smile when you are done. If you see a tiny bit of shine on the cheekbone, you'll know you've done it right. Next, use the same brush for a completely matte version of the same shade, right above your jawline, in an angle from your ear to your mouth. Be sure not to apply too heavily if you want it to look natural. For a more olive skin, try a bronzer; for fair women, a pinker shade; and for a medium skin tone, try a mauve."A Natural Blush
For a slightly flushed, no-makeup look, Mulholland suggests glossing your cheeks with a large blush brush after tapping most of the blush off of it. Stroke the apples of your cheeks with the brush for a few minutes, and you should be left with a shiny glow in just the right places.Full and Fabulous Pout
Want an age-defying pout like Desperate Housewives' Nicolette Sheridan? Bolanos suggests lining the outside of the mouth with a white highlighting pencil. Softly blend it all around on the skin to camouflage lines and wrinkles, and you'll look anything but desperate. Bolanos recommends the Shu Uemura Eye Light double-sided pencil in white ($18), which gives you a pearl and a matte option, depending on your mood.
Another fantastic tip for fuller lips from Linda Cantello, makeup artist for YSL and head of her own cosmetics line: "To naturally plump, draw a tiny line, using your lipliner, right beneath the middle of the bottom lip. Follow with your favorite lip color. You'll notice a slight line gives the illusion of a shadow and a fuller pout -- perfect for the girl who needs instant gratification."Complexion Perfection
Cantello also has the secret to a perfect dewy glow. "Mist Evian water on the face after moisturizing, but before applying foundation. This gives skin a moist and youthful quality, while helping to increase the wear of your makeup."
If you want a camera-worthy glow on top of your summertime tan, try this tip Levin uses on Goldie Hawn: "Goldie has kind of a tan, California look, but if I put a dark base on her, I notice that it makes other makeup not show up as well. So I work with two different shades of makeup and blend really well. On the outside of her face, starting where the eyebrows and forehead connect, I shade with a color close to the shade of the tan on her body (1 to 1 1/2 shades darker than the rest of face). I use the darker shade all around her hairline, underneath her ears and below her chin, and then blend to her neck. I then apply the lighter shade to the inner part of her face (and I avoid applying too much powder there). This creates a glow that draws attention to the center of her face." Be sure to blend really well with this trick, otherwise you may just end up looking like you're wearing a mask. Levin uses either a sponge or her fingers to make sure no makeup lines are visible.

IPod squishes Flying Tomato
7:17pm Tuesday 11th February 2014 in National Sport News © Press Association 2014
Shaun White's bid for a hat-trick of Winter Olympics snowboard halfpipe titles ended in failure as eccentric Swiss Iouri Podladtchikov took the gold medal in Sochi.
The American, nicknamed The Flying Tomato, was the red-hot favourite to add another crown to the ones he won at Turin 2006 and Vancouver four years later, but the 27-year-old could only finish fourth.
Instead it was crowd favourite Podladtchikov, aka IPod, who took the glory, with Japanese 15-year-old prodigy Ayumu Hirano earning silver and his compatriot Taku Hiraoka bronze.
White had put down a score of 95.75 in the qualifiers to move straight into the showpiece event, but could not replicate that, and an error-strewn final run saw him awarded 90.25, which was not enough to claim even a podium spot.
"I'm disappointed," he said. "I hate the fact that I nailed it in practice, but it happens. It's hard to be consistent."

JACKSON- The Majors grounded out 400 yards of offense over 40 minutes of possession en route to a 28-24 win over the LaGrange Panthers on Saturday.
The defense made the most of its brief time on the field, registering six sacks and forcing six fumbles (recovering three). Jeff Milner had 3.5 sacks and two forced fumbles while Zach Bell added two more sacks of his own and led the Majors with eight tackles.
LaGrange scored first, recovering a fumble in the end zone to go up 7-0. The Majors responded with 14 unanswered with Zander Romano registering a touchdown reception and Beau Wells hauling in a seam route for a 38-yard score.
Trevor King would add a late second quarter touchdown as the Majors took a 21-7 lead into the break. Millsaps limited the Panthers to 34 yards rushing in the first half and 59 for the game.
LaGrange would not score quietly, again opening the scoring with a touchdown pass early in the third quarter. Mike Barthelemy would punch in a five-yard run to stretch the lead to 28-14 in the early stages of the fourth quarter. The junior running back had 138 yards rushing, including a 68-yard gallop in the first half.
Things would get crazy after the Panthers cut the lead to 28-24 with 10 unanswered. Zak Thrasher threw his second of two interceptions with just over 90 seconds left. The ensuing play, the Panthers fumbled the ball after Eric Martin ripped the ball out at the Majors 20-yard line, Dustin Harscher picked it up and the Majors got the win.
The Majors moved to 2-0 with the win, dropping LaGrange to 0-2. Millsaps welcomes in NAIA's Point University next weekend for a 1pm kick off.

24 Caret Games
Retro/Grade is a pulpy sci-fi rhythm game shooter that moves backwards in time, and you must play it
Retro/Grade begins with a fun premise. You're the captain of a teeny tiny spaceship that has just finished destroying all the bad guys and has blown up the last enemy ship to save the galaxy. The first scene is the ending credits. The game begins when you're sucked into a black hole and you get to relive that experience with time moving in the wrong direction, but you remain in control of your actions. That means you have to re-create your initial assault on the enemy forces in reverse in order to keep the space-time continuum intact.
It's already a fun premise, but that conceit is used to construct a rhythm game. You move up and down the screen, and have to hit the X button in time to gobble up the shots moving towards you. These are the bullets you fired at the enemies, remember, since things are moving in reverse. In fact, you'll often see small explosions turn into enemy ships, since you're watching your own attacks move backwards through time. The higher the difficulty level you select at the beginning of each of the ten missions, the more lanes you have to move between.
You must also dodge enemy attacks that come from behind you, and move backwards towards the front of the screen. None of these shots hit you during the unseen original attack, so space-time is weakened if you're damaged in this version of the timeline. So you have to gobble up the rounds you fired as they move from right to left across the screen, and avoid the enemy shots that move left to right. As these lines of dots move towards the middle they create a safe tunnel through which you must move. You also have the ability to correct time for limited bursts, allowing you to correct mistakes and compete on the high score leaderboards.
At the end of each level you are able to see the "original" version of your run, as you dodge enemy attacks and fire back as time moves in the right direction.
It's a little confusing in words, but it's a fun trick in practice, and the music keeps the whole thing together. You'll be tapping the button in time to the music, and it's nearly impossible not to move your body to the beat. The ten levels can be beaten fairly rapidly, but it's worth playing each one multiple times through the difficulty levels, and there are also a series of challenges that offer interesting new twists on the game play. There are fun items to unlock and a few surprises to check out, so it's worth exploring the game and seeing everything it has to offer, especially if you're a fan of indie games as a genre. Hint: you'll see some fun cameos.
Retro/Grade takes an interesting idea, marries it to deceptively simple mechanics, and the result is a rhythm game with beauty and grace to spare. The game was largely the work of one man, Matt Gilgenbach, whose long, crunch-like hours spent working on the game led to a time-lapse video showing the life of an indie developer a year or so ago. The game has the feel of something that was much-loved and fussed over. There is no aspect of the game that isn't fun to look it or read, and that level of dedication goes a long way to helping the game stand out in a crowded marketplace.
If you really want to enjoy the rhythm aspect of Retro/Grade, trying playing with a Guitar Hero or Rock Band guitar for an extra level of absurdity. The game is available now on the PlayStation Network for $9.99, and I'd pay that much for the soundtrack alone. I'd also like to point out that Retro/Grade leaves much room for expansion, in terms of platforms and content. More songs for an iPad release? Heavenly. Remixed modes on the Vita? I would pay for that. It's worth the $10 now, but let's hope the game is successful enough to justify more content on a wide variety of devices. Retro/Grade is a good example of familiar game play refreshed by an interesting setting and time-travel mechanic, and the better than expected soundtrack simply adds to the joy of playing.
This was a pleasant surprise for a Tuesday afternoon.

Electronic filing of GST/HST returns; Environmental levies
Canadian Indirect Tax News
January 11, 2010 (10-1)
Electronic filing of GST/HST return
Environmental levies
Electronic filing of GST/HST returns
Have you always wished that you could file your GST/HST returns electronically? As of July 1, 2010, you can.
On January 4, the federal government announced a new initiative to allow all GST/HST registrants to file their returns electronically, effective July 1, 2010.
Currently, only certain registrants have the choice of electronic filing, which severely restricts the usefulness of this option. With the proposed new initiative, anyone registered for GST/HST can file electronically, including those filing with Revenue Quebec.
Some registrants will now be required to file electronically, including:
- GST/HST registrants with greater than $1.5 million in annual taxable supplies (except for charities);
- all registrants required to recapture input tax credits for the provincial portion of the HST on certain inputs in Ontario or British Columbia; and
- builders affected by the transitional tax measures applicable to housing announced by Ontario and British Columbia.
If you are not required to file electronically, you still have the option to do so after July 1, 2010.
Further details of the initiative will be released in the coming months. We will keep you updated.
Environmental levies
Environmental levies are becoming a popular funding mechanism for managing a product's end-of-life disposal cost. Over 100 provincial and territorial environmental levy programs exist today. These programs include blue box recycling, hazardous waste collection, product packaging recycling, electronics recycling and many more.
The costs of recycling and disposing of packaging, waste and electronics are being off-loaded by companies to consumers. While consumers may pay for these costs through levies included in the product purchase price, the "collectors" are responsible for remitting the levies. These levies are not insignificant – they range from several thousand dollars for some programs to millions of dollars for others.
A typical program might be structured as an industry-funded organization (IFO). A non-profit organization would be created to become the designated IFO for the particular industry sector (e.g., electronics). The program would require brand owners, first importers, franchisers and assemblers to pay fees to the IFO for the equipment being supplied in a particular province. The fees collected by the IFO would be used to operate the program. The IFO would contract with various parties who register with the program to collect, transport and process the waste. These groups would be paid from the fees collected.
This regime creates risks for businesses. Businesses must determine whether or not they are obligated to collect and remit these fees. They must review their processes to ensure that the right products attract the right levy and that the correct payments are made on time in each of the provinces. Underpayments are subject to substantial penalties — in some cases, 10% of the outstanding amount due - and are payable with interest accruing at, typically, prime plus 3% interest per annum for each type of product.
Keeping up with the myriad of programs raises several compliance challenges:
- Knowing whether the business is liable for a particular levy;
- Maintaining awareness of all of the changes in all of the levies;
- Collecting the correct amount of levy;
- Ensuring that the business can properly track and regularly report to the provincial government as required by specific programs (e.g., volume and weights of products subject to fees); and
- Protecting cash flow by ensuring remittance of the correct fees.
The administration of the various environmental levies can be burdensome for a business. It is critical to develop an effective tracking and reporting system to ensure compliance.

text: Big Browns fan but I also went to the same high school as Kirk Barton. He was legitimately a 2nd round talent after his tremendous run at Ohio State. Yeah, there are concerns that his knee can hold up. This knee he hurt against Penn State a couple of years ago, but this guy was a 220 pound TE in high school. He worked his butt off to become a 2 time 1st team big ten. He played in 2 national title games. He will give it everything he's got. You guys will love him if he makes the team. Maybe he's not quite Jimbo Covert, but he's the next best thing. He consistently graded out amazingly every game he played in college except the last 2 bowl games. Good luck to you guys. You got a great player and any news is appreciated.
