Chance leads Bulls to semis
For a USF womens soccer team preparing for its second Big East semifinal appearance in three years, one of its most valuable assets is preparing for a strong finish to her freshman season.
Three months into the season, coach Denise Schilte-Brown said she feels freshman forward Olivia Chance is beginning to play to the potential they saw when USF recruited the New Zealander.
Chance is second on the team with four goals and ten points, and she has accounted for three game-winning goals this season.
I think were giving her more responsibility and shes starting to show and understand how much potential she has, Schilte-Brown said. Shes explosive on and off the ball. Shes right and left footed and she brings lots of experience.
For Chance, soccer is a sport that runs in her family.
Growing up in Tauranga, New Zealand, Chance started playing soccer at the age of four.
Her father, she said, was her main influence growing up.
My father is Scottish. Soccer was everything to him, Chance said. He made me and my sister tough.
The younger sibling of two children, Chance comes from a family with a strong athletic background. Her father played soccer in semi-professional leagues while he was in the U.S., before moving to England at 19. Her mother was a sprinter and a distance runner.
As a child, Chance played tennis and netball a sport similar to basketball, except players cannot move once they get the ball in their hands.
Chance chose to focus on soccer because it was more physical than tennis or netball.
Its not like any other sport, she said. Im good with my feet and its good endurance.
Chances first international experience came when she was 15 playing for the New Zealand U-17 team.
The team competed in the 2010 FIFA U-17 Womens World Cup in Trinidad and Tobago where it went 0-3 in-group play. She said she enjoyed her time with the team.
I liked it, she said. Definitely all the hard work put in the campaign was worth it once you step on that field.
Stemming from her World Cup experience, Chance was approached by the New Zealand national team when she was 17, and was asked to participate in a three-month trial. She was made the team, playing in the 2011 Cypress Cup, losing to the Netherlands in her debut.
While competing at the international level, Chance began to hear about USF.
Schilte-Brown heard about Chance through a contact from New Zealands national squad.
We had to build a relationship over Skype, Schilte-Brown said. That was the first time Ive ever had to do that. I thought it was an instant connection. I really enjoy her and her family. Shes a mature kid and right away, I was excited about our choice.
Other schools such as the University of Virginia were interested in her.
With her family by her side, Chance chose USF over Virginia. She said her main reason was the coaches and the weather.
Chances experience was put to the test last weekend, when the Bulls headed to a penalty shootout against the Louisville Cardinals in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals.
With the teams tied 3-3, Schilte-Brown called Chances number for the final penalty kick opportunity, which she promptly finished, sealing a spot for USF in the semifinals for the second time in three seasons.
We saved (Chance) for last because we knew she could handle the pressure, Schilte-Brown said.
Chance and the Bulls will head to Storrs, Conn. this weekend for the Big East Tournament as they take on Georgetown in their semifinal match on Friday at 6:30 p.m. The winner will advance to the final to take on either Marquette or Notre Dame.

I'll take your buff demon with twin cocks and raise you futanari.

- Japan "NTR Nation":
To hear your story and that of the women that you have spoken to, I can't even really pass judgement on you at all. It's really damn sad to think about. I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to stop doing what you are doing either. It's something that you obviously get to take advantage of. I really wish you would wear a rubber though, but that is also your own choice! Take care.
- Japan "NTR Nation":
14.8% is actually a pretty low number in my opinion, Even if the figure is actually closer to 20% then thats ONLY 1 in 5 women! Japanese women arn't too shabby when you think about it.
- Japan "NTR Nation":
Since when was 14.8% a huge number? The flip side of that number is that 85.2% of Japanese housewives claim they have never had an affair. Keep in mind when reading the above article that all of the referenced statistics are a subset of the 14.8% of women who admitted to cheating in the survey.
- Japan "NTR Nation":
Finally someone with some sense.

Today's Tarot for Elisha Cuthbert
One Card
spread is the most concise of all spreads, intended to provide a quick take on a situation, or to reduce it to a single point of meditation. The
Benedetti Tarot
is a highly stylized deck painted on gold leaf. 7 years in the making, the images were inspired by the Visconti Tarot, the earliest Tarot deck still in existence. The Benedetti Tarot is the favorite deck of those who seek simplicity and elegance in their lives.
The card represents the critical factor for the issue at hand.
King of Pentacles, when reversed
: The dark essence of earth behaving as air, such as a diamond: An unyielding businessman, with a gift for identifying weakness and exploiting it for personal gain. One well informed about material affairs, but ignorant of larger, more pressing issues. A blind devotee of business as usual, unconcerned with the unintended results, and contemptuous of new ideas. A person full of greed and avarice, easily corrupted by luxury or the temptations of the flesh.

Golden Tarot
A modern celebration of late medieval artwork. This deck is the choice of scholars, for it evokes images of elegance amid barbarism, and the light of virtue in dark times.
Salvador Dali Tarot
This deck is nothing short of a masterwork by one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. Every card has gold-gilded edges and bears Dali's signature. There is no more unique gift for the collector or serious student of spirituality.
Bosch Tarot
A most unusual deck that brings to life the grotesque world of Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. A deck prized by both art lovers and collectors.

All the staff in the hotel were excellent and nothing was to much trouble, including parking our car as the car park is very difficult to access. Overall we would strongly recommend this hotel to all our friends and family. - Joseph
The location is most convenient - just a short walk to town. The staff was very friendly, most helpful with information. Exquisitely, tastefully renovated. Wonderful breakfast on a terrace overlooking the sea and Etna. - Anonymous
If there were scores greater than 10, this hotel deserves it. From the hospitality and comfort of checking in (sitting on the balcony drinking a complementary wine) to the fantastic breakfast...and all the special touches in between (shuttle service, internet)...the best hotel I have ever stayed at...The hotel staff was by far the best ever experienced... a level above. The room was superb. - Donna
The view is impecable, the rooms decent and the staff very friendly - Peter

Power charging assembly and method that includes a low voltage electrical device operable with pulse width modulation (PWM) control
Image Number 9 for
United States Patent #8129951
A power charging assembly and methods are provided to provide a pre-charge low-current state, a steady-state, high-current charging state, and an unconnect state for an electrical load of an electrical propulsion system in a hybrid electrical vehicle (HEV). The power charging assembly includes a positive contactor device, a negative contactor device, and a non-contactor device means. The rate at which that electrical load is pre-charged may be effectively controlled by using a pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal received by the non-contactor device means. A current-only carrying positive or negative contactor may be configured with the non-contactor device means to further prevent electrical arcing of the contacts of the positive and the negative contactor during power charging assembly operation.

Charles Davis, who will be the game analyst on Fox's Cotton Bowl coverage, has released his top five players to watch for the 7 p.m. game. Friday. Davis will broadcast the game with play-by-play announcer Gus Johnson, on-field analyst Petros Papadakis and game reporter Julie Alexandria. Rules analyst Mike Pereira will be in the booth to offer his perspective on controversial calls.
Oklahoma football: OU's Landry Jones, Kenny Stills among Fox's top five players in Cotton Bowl
Erin Andrews will host the 6:30 p.m. pregame show with analysts Joey Harrington and Eddie George. The show will include interviews with Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and former Clippers star Blake Griffin, a former OU standout.
Davis' top five list:
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel: "First freshman to ever win the Heisman Trophy and he's done things that no player has ever done in the SEC, breaking records that Cam Newton set when he won the Heisman Trophy at Auburn. Oklahoma is going to be chasing him all night."
OU quarterback Landry Jones: "He had some rough outing early but is playing his football as the season ends. He still has a chance to raise his stock in the NFL draft, and leading Oklahoma to a win Friday night will do that."
Texas A&M defensive end Demontre Moore: "He's a former outside linebacker they moved to defensive end and was a finalist for best defensive end in the country. He's a terrific player who can make a huge difference."
OU wide receiver Kenny Stills: "He started the season in the slot, moved out wide and he's all over the place. He's one that Texas A&M will have to corral to be successful."
Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Joeckel: "He's been a starter since he's been a true freshman and played beyond that capacity since then. Projected by many to go No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft."

A Portfolio of Winners, It Doesn't Have to Be Complicated
If you put a list together of some of the greatest blue chips the stock market has to offer, you might include The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE/PG) among others. Procter & Gamble is just the kind of company that can thrive in a slow-growth environment. Institutional investors like it for its dividend (current yield is about 3.2%) and stability. The company offers predictability for stock market investors.
I remember when Procter & Gamble had a big miss in its quarterly earnings, right at the time when the bubble in technology stocks was bursting. The stock was basically cut in half and took a solid five years to recover—five full years, just to get back to where it was trading on the stock market before the breakdown. Even for a growing blue chip company, that's a long time for investors.
This fiscal year, Procter & Gamble's revenues and earnings are expected to be about flat with last year. Current expectations for fiscal year 2013 are for earnings-per-share (EPS) growth of approximately eight percent. Combined with its dividend, you could argue that this blue chip company is doing its job. The company's stock market chart is below:
Chart courtesy of www.StockCharts.com
Other dividend paying blue chips with great track records on the stock market include Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE/CL), International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE/IBM), PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE/PEP), and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE/JNJ). I would argue that all five of these blue chip stocks are worth considering when they're down. With dividend reinvestment, I think this group makes for a great stock market portfolio.
The one thing that's in short supply these days is growth, and things are likely to remain low and slow for the next several years, possibly for the rest of this decade. (See "Where's the Good News? Companies Just Meeting Expectations.") This is why stability and size win in an environment like this. When business is slow, costs get squeezed and balance sheets typically improve. And with stability of cash flow, dividends get paid.
Large-cap blue chips have been particularly strong on the stock market since the financial crisis in 2008/2009. In spite of the doom and gloom back then, one of the best trades going was to ignore the hysteria and buy a basket of blue chips. It's a simple, yet effective investment strategy that I believe in. Buy the best dividend paying companies in their field, and reinvest the quarterly dividend income in new shares. When the next recession comes, it will be an attractive buying opportunity for long-term investors.

The price of oil declined Thursday after China's monthly trade data showed subdued imports by the world's largest crude consumer.
Benchmark U.S. crude for June delivery was down 39 cents at $100.38 a barrel at 0920 GMT in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $1.27 to close at $100.77 on Wednesday.
Brent crude, a benchmark for international varieties of oil, was down 48 cents to $107.65 on the ICE exchange in London.
China's customs data showed that imports rose 0.8 percent in April, improving from the previous month's 11.3 percent decline but still subdued. Exports rose 0.9 percent, a recovery from March's 6.6 percent fall. Weak imports reflect slowing Chinese economic growth, which declined to 7.4 percent in the first quarter of year.
The decline in the oil price comes after a big jump Wednesday, which stemmed from a surprise decline in U.S. crude stockpiles.

HOUSTON – Cain Velasquez conclusively put to rest the UFC's top heavyweight rivalry on Saturday with a one-sided victory over Junior dos Santos in the main event of UFC 166 at the Toyota Center.
Any doubts about Velasquez's superiority over dos Santos ended when Velasquez once again battered the Brazilian in a title bout.
Velasquez convincingly won the rubber match between the top two heavyweights by pushing dos Santos against the cage and then butchering him with short punches on the inside, stopping him at 3:09 of the fifth.
[Photos: Best of UFC 166]
Dos Santos took the title from Velasquez at UFC on Fox 1 in 2011, but Velasquez won the last two meetings in brutally one-sided fashion. Dos Santos landed two hard punches to open the bout, then Velasquez shut him down.
Velasquez didn't give dos Santos any room. He pushed him against the cage and as the fight wore on, began picking him apart with straight right hands.
Dos Santos' face was covered with blood and welts from the severe beating. The end came when Velasquez threw a punch that didn't seem to land hard, but dos Santos sagged to his knees, unable to take any more punishment. Referee Herb Dean soon stopped it.
In their second fight at UFC 155, Velasquez repeatedly took dos Santos down and blistered him on the ground. This time around, Velasquez kept it standing but the outcome was the same.
"He beat me up," dos Santos said of Velasquez. "What can I say?"
Daniel Cormier grinds out victory over Roy "Big Country" Nelson
Daniel Cormier, in his final fight at heavyweight before moving to light heavyweight, ground out a workmanlike unanimous decision over Roy Nelson. All three judges scored it 30-27 for Cormier.
Cormier never hurt Nelson but he was in control of the fight throughout. He landed a series of straight right hands in the first two rounds, but couldn't put together a combination.
In the third, Cormier began kicking at Nelson and landed several good ones. It took Nelson out of his plan, and Nelson had little offense. It was Nelson's second loss in a row.
"I have some work to do, but I'm going to be the [light heavyweight] champion some day, believe me," Cormier said.
Gilbert Melendez edges Diego Sanchez in amazing war
Diego Sanchez has been in some of the great fights in mixed martial arts history, but his third round on Saturday against Gilbert Melendez was one of his best.
Battered and beaten over two rounds by Melendez, whose punches were harder and more accurate, Sanchez cranked the intensity several notches in the final round and put on an incredible show.
He willed himself into the fight, ignoring a gargantuan cut about his left eye, and nearly finished the former Strikeforce champion.
Melendez won a unanimous decision, 29-28 twice and 30-27, but the crowd was on its collective feet roaring as loudly as it ever has at a UFC fight, paying homage to Sanchez.
Sanchez hurt Melendez with an uppercut that knocked him down, but he went for a guillotine choke instead of trying for a ground-and-pound finish. With all of the sweat and blood, Sanchez couldn't hold it and Melendez slipped out.
They traded over the final 30 seconds in a fierce exchange of punches as the crowd cheered deliriously. It was one of the most electric atmospheres inside a UFC arena as Sanchez rallied to try to pull off the last-second finish.
He didn't get it, but it didn't seem to matter to the crowd. The bout was so good that UFC president Dana White raced over to the media section to talk about it.
Melendez said, "I'm the uncrowned champ and I'm coming for that belt," but he played second fiddle on this night even in victory. Sanchez's heart and determination won over the crowd, which had difficulty believing what it was seeing.
Sanchez often shouts "Yes! Yes! Yes!" when he comes to the cage as a motivational ploy, but it was like the crowd wanted to do that on Saturday after watching the final-round drama.
Melendez hopes to get a title shot next.
"It was a great feeling getting my first UFC win," he said. "It was a battle and exactly what I expected from him as an opponent. He didn't go down at all. I was pressing and moving forward, and he was taking some big shots. My only three losses have been to guys who try to win by the scorecard, and it's unfortunate that for a lot of fans, this is the first time they are seeing my style.
"I always try to give the fans a fun fight. I want the belt so the next fight I would like is the winner of the [Anthony] Pettis/[Josh] Thomson fight."
Sanchez saw the fight a bit closer on the scorecards.
"I think in all honesty the fight was a draw," Sanchez said. "He is number one in the division. I landed a big shot in the third round, but he got the first two rounds. In my mind and my heart we are the toughest two lightweights out there, and I take my hat off to Gil."
Gabriel Gonzaga blasts out Shawn Jordan in the first
Gabriel Gonzaga connected with a short counter right as Shawn Jordan was charging him, and that made it a quick night for all concerned.
Jordan went down in a heap, and Gonzaga finished him with a series of hard ground-and-pound shots. The end came at 1:33 of the first.
It was the second first-round knockout in a row for Gonzaga, tying him with Frank Mir for most finishes in the heavyweight division with 11.
John Dodson knocks Darrell Montague cold
John Dodson is one of the greatest athletes in the UFC with arguably the fastest set of hands. The one-time flyweight title contender showed his blazing hand speed in a first-round finish of Darrell Montague.
Dodson was regularly beating Montague to the punch. He knocked him down early in the fight with a left, then finished it with a straight left to the jaw. Montague went down face first and it was quickly over.
"I wanted to make sure my striking was perfect and accurate every time," said Dodson, fighting for the first time since losing a flyweight title bout to champion Demetrious Johnson in January.

Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Marc-Andre Fleury's 27-save shutout helped the Pittsburgh Penguins open the season with a 3-0 win over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday.
Fleury posted his 24th career shutout thanks in part to a stop on an Adam Henrique penalty shot late in the third period.
"You always want a win to start the season and this was a good way to start it," said Fleury. "But it's obvious that this was just one game and we've got a long way to go here."
Chuck Kobasew, Sidney Crosby and Craig Adams all scored for the Penguins, who were eliminated in the Eastern Conference finals last year by the Boston Bruins.
Martin Brodeur had his NHL record streak of starting 18 straight season openers in net broken, as Cory Schneider got the nod for the Devils and made 18 stops.
"They were the better team in the first period and that was the game," said New Jersey head coach Peter DeBoer. "If this was later in the season I think we would have stood a chance of coming back, but we just didn't have anything going tonight."
The Penguins got on the board at the 9:26 mark of the first period. Kobasew brought the puck in through the middle and left a drop for Brandon Sutter, who fired a shot on net. Schneider made the stop, but fellow Boston College product Kobasew followed up and put home the rebound.
Less than three minutes later it was a 2-0 game as a short 2-on-1 break saw Crosby snap the puck from the left wing into the right corner off a Pascal Dupuis dish.
After a middle period that saw Schneider make three saves and Fleury nine, the Penguins took a 3-0 lead with 8:18 to play as Evgeni Malkin sent a pass from the left wing to the slot where Adams stood for a wrist shot under the glove of Schneider.
The penalty shot came with 3:59 to play and Fleury made the stop with the right pad after Henrique faked to the forehand and tried to stuff the puck in.
Fleury posted his 250th win and recorded his first opening-night whitewash
since making 40 saves in a 4-0 win against the Flyers on Oct. 5, 2006 ... New
Jersey missed the playoffs last season and finished last in the Atlantic
Division ... The Devils won three of four games against the Penguins last
season ... The Penguins host Buffalo on Saturday ... The Devils host the
Islanders on Friday.
Portland State fired football coach Nigel Burton on Wednesday after the Vikings struggled to a 3-9 season.
Kasey Kahne will continue to drive for Hendrick Motorsports through the 2018 Sprint Cup season, signing a three-year contract extension on Thursday.
The New Orleans Saints placed defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley on season-ending injured reserve Thursday.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have reportedly come to terms with Cuban power-hitting outfielder Yasmany Tomas on a six-year, $68.5 million contract.
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich missed Wednesday night's game against Indiana after undergoing a minor medical procedure.
The National Hockey League handed down a pair of suspensions on Thanksgiving, one to a member of an American-based club and one to a member of a Canadian franchise.

Album I can't live without: Talk Talk Talk
Related Links
Relevant offers
The album I can't live without
I came to Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs by accident. I had bought The Psychedelic Furs' debut single Sister Europe in 1980 and I loved its depressing world weariness.
I hadn't got around to buying the self-titled parent debut album, but would play this single regularly, well, thrash it mercilessly is probably a better description.
About a year later a mate of mine rung me to tell me he had been in to Sounds Unlimited and pre-ordered me a copy of the next PFurs album, due for release in a month, and they would be expecting payment. I thought this was a weird thing for him to do. I had only liked that one song and I stopped thrashing about six months back.
I puzzled about this out-of-character behaviour for a month until I got a call from Robin at Sounds telling me my album was in. I drove in first thing the next day and wandered down to Sounds, had a flick through the imports, grabbed a couple and picked up my pre-ordered copy of Talk Talk Talk. I looked at the cover, not being one to usually judge by it, but it looked a little insipid with black and white with some random coloured shapes.
Oh well, I thought, if the album is truly awful, someone will get an earful!
I drove home, careful to keep the vinyl out of the sun and sat down with my purchases. I was much more excited by the imports but I thought 'let's get it over and done with' and cued up Talk Talk Talk side one. At the end of side one I was completely stunned. I got up, dazed, and turned it over to play side two, only to find more of the same.
I looked at the clock. It was still morning (just). I ran out, jumped in to the car and shot up to my local record shop where I had seen the first PFurs album among the top 40 hogwash that was usually sold in South Auckland. Arriving just before Warren (in those days I was on first name terms with most record shop folk. I probably should've just handed over my wage packet to them) was closing. I raced over, found the debut album was still there, handed him the cash, gibbered insanely about how amazing the new album was and raced off again.
As soon as I got home I played Talk Talk Talk again and again and then the debut album, which was pretty good. While I loved Sister Europe it was like someone had put a blowtorch down their collective creative undies to create this stunner of a disc. The difference between the first and the second was so huge.
The new songs were delivered in Richard Butler's brash, nasal vocal over a poppy, urgent, noisy and, let's face it, a slightly weird musical background of chiming and choppy guitars from John Ashton and Roger Morris. They had fluid bass lines from Richard's brother Tim Butler, the howling sax of Duncan Kilburn and inventive drumming from soon to be honorary Dance Exponent Vince Ely.
Two singles were cut from this album: The plainly odd Dumb Waiters and the fairly obvious track Pretty In Pink. The latter would be rerecorded and re-issued four years later to support some American teen movie of the same name.
Thirty plus years later this album still shimmers and sparkles like it did when I first heard it. While the PFurs would continue to release albums nothing would touch what they achieved with Talk Talk Talk - an 80s high-water mark for music.

Framing Hanley 18+The Machine Shop -November 29, 2014 7:00 PM
3539 South Dort Highway
Flint, MI 48507
Framing Hanley is a five-piece alternative rock band from Cookeville, Tennessee. The band was called by a different name up until 2006, Embers Fade, but changed in dedication to a great friend of the band, Ashley Hanley, who passed away. With its strong musical abilities and live show the band quickly gained a large following in Nashville. In November of 2006, the band was fortunate to hook up with producer Brett Hestla (Dark New Day), who helped harness its energy into two songs. These two songs were enough to capture the attention of Jeff Hanson (Creed, Paramore) and his record label, Silent Majority Group. Framing Hanley's debut album, The Moment, was released in the summer of 2007.View More >

From: Austin, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Turf, Grasses or Grass-like
Title: Buffalograss (Bouteloua dactyloides) and buffalo grass mixes
Answered by: Steve Windhager and Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I live in Austin, TX and have visited the Wildflower Center in the past and enjoyed the display of native grass mixes. Can you tell me about the variations of buffalograss mixes... which ones are most successful? What is the ratio of grasses? The durability of the turf? Methods of application and season, if any? ie. Would hydromulching be an option? What is the benefit of using a buffalograss mix as compared to pure buffalograss seed? And also any suppliers of native grass mixes that you know of in the region? Thank you very much for your time!!!!!
Unfortunately our study on the buffalo grass mixes has only just begun, so we do not have any answers yet. It looks like the polycultural mix is working best, but most of the species are not commercially available. Of the ones that are available, they are Bouteloua dactyloides (buffalograss), Bouteloua gracilis (blue grama), and curly mesquite (Hilaria berlangeri) (although we could not find a Texas source for this last one). The grasses went out in equal numbers of seeds per square foot.
Hydromulching is a bad idea. The tactifier in hydromulch is actually hydrophobic (repels water) when it gets dry. As a result, most native seeds die when they are applied with hydromulch. Native American Seed has spread seed by hand and then sprayed on a "clean" hydromulch mix (no seed) for erosion control and they say that they have had good results. We are now recommending pneumatically applied compost for seed applications that would have formerly used hydromulch. It works GREAT, although you may have some leaching of nutrients (nitrate and phosphate) out of the compost with any run off, so you don't want to do this near a creek or river at this point.
The benefits of using a buffalograss mix compared to pure buffalograss are faster establishment, greater ability to adjust to weather changes and stressors in your yard, and less niche space for weeds—at least that is the theory at this point.
Currently, Native American Seed is the only seed company selling a mix of buffalo and blue grama. Hopefully we will get the others in commercial production in the future after the study is complete. Walmart is interested in selling the seed mixture.

Showcase achievements of the MDMK on various fronts, he says
Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary Vaiko on Tuesday urged party cadre not to attack any political party or target any individual in the election campaign and instead make a fervent appeal to the people to give the party a chance to serve Tamil Nadu and the nation.
Addressing district secretaries ahead of announcing constituencies, candidates and campaign schedule for the Lok Sabha election here, Mr. Vaiko said the MDMK was suffering a severe dearth of funds compared to other parties. "I have made it clear that the party would not be in a position to meet the expenses of workers involved in election work. We lack financial power. But strength of this party has always been the relentless work of committed cadres. We will not attack any party or individual…the MDMK will only underscore the need for a politics of honesty and corruption-free governance," he told The Hindu.
Mr. Vaiko said party cadres were told to showcase the achievements of the MDMK on various fronts. "I have information that besides political groups, some internal and external forces are also trying to defeat the MDMK. The cadres have been told to highlight the need to erase the tears of Eelam Tamils in Sri Lanka. The BJP will emerge as the single largest party and have sufficient numbers to form the Government," Mr. Vaiko said.
MDMK presidium chairman 'Tirupur' S. Duraisamy said the party should be part of the government at the Centre after elections. Mr. Vaiko is expected to announce the party candidates and launch campaign this week. The MDMK was among the first parties to join the BJP-led alliance in Tamil Nadu. Mr. Vaiko called on the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi when he visited the city on February 9. Though the party was aspiring to contest in nine Lok Sabha constituencies, it settled for seven.
