Luis Fernando Suarez has confirmed that he has left his post as Honduras coach following the FIFA World Cup.
Suarez took over in 2011, filling the void of Mexican Juan de Dios Castillo and he subsequently coached the country to two editions of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the 2012 London Olympic games and this year's World Cup.
The Ecuador native guided Honduras to the semi-finals of the Gold Cup on both occasions, while they also reached the second round of the Olympics, helping to knock out Spain.
After ending the World Cup with no points following defeats to France, Switzerland and Ecuador, Suarez opted to not renew his contract and he leaves his post, suggesting the team needs fresh impetus.
"Five minutes ago I decided to leave my post," he revealed to reporters on Tuesday. "This is not a resignation, it's just the end of the contract with Honduras.
"I think for the sake of myself and for the good of Honduras, a change is necessary.
"A good job has been done. I am very satisfied, not with the World Cup, but for all that happened in the process of the generational change.
"We had complications because we had to replace players with a lot of character and of stout personality, and I think that was achieved.
"We managed to make a good impression (on the World Cup), we even managed to have a very good Olympics with a group that I think in future will perform on behalf of Honduras.
"But I think someone else can come here and make things better. I will always remember fondly the people of Honduras, but I feel sad for not fulfilling their expectations.
"It was always going to be hard, but I dreamed that we could get into the knockout phase.
"I'll always cheers for Honduras, I'll be a fan of Honduras. I'll be a fan of any team to play a Honduran in."

Scott Brown brings out protesters in NH
Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., speaking in New Hampshire at an event earlier in 2013. (File)
About 250 members of the New Hampshire Firearms Coalition gathered peacefully across from the Hunt Memorial Building where the Republicans gathered, demonstrating against Brown, who they referred to as a "gun-banning Massachusetts carpet-bagger."
Jennifer Horn, state GOP chairman, said this week that the event was closed to the press, and that media would not be permitted inside to hear Brown's speech. To her word, a small group of reporters was asked to leave the building at the start of the fundraiser.
Speculation about whether Brown will challenge incumbent Shaheen has been on the rise this week as Brown confirmed he is moving to New Hampshire. He sold his house in Wrentham, Mass., and is relocating to Rye where he owns a vacation home.
His visit Thursday in Nashua was Brown's 13th public appearance in New Hampshire this year.
"I want to stand up for the Republican platform, and it frustrates me that party leadership is caving," State Rep. J.R. Hoell, R-Dunbarton, said Thursday during the rally. "He needs to come out and say 'yes' or 'no,' whether he is going to run or not."
"It is all part of the process, and making their voices heard," Horn said this week.

State to charge electric-car owners $100 a year
Owners of electric cars in Washington may be glad they're no longer buying gasoline, but soon they'll be assessed a $100 annual fee to supplement road funding supported by state gas taxes.
The Associated Press
Owners of electric cars in Washington state don't buy gasoline or pay gas taxes, but they're soon going to be hit with a $100 fee to own the battery-operated cars.
A section of Washington state law that takes effect next year will require electric-car owners to pay a $100 annual fee for road and highway improvements, intended to compensate for the gas taxes they no longer pay.
The law does not apply to hybrid vehicles or to those that don't exceed 35 mph. About 1,600 cars currently registered in the state would likely be subject to the fee, including the Nissan Leaf, Tesla Roadster and some custom electric vehicles, according to the state licensing department. Hybrid vehicles that use electricity and gasoline, such as the Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Volt, are excluded.
Starting Feb. 1, electric-car owners must pay the fee at the time of their annual vehicle-registration renewal. The fee would be in addition to standard vehicle-registration fees owed each year.
Supporters of the fee say electric cars are good for the environment but put the same wear and tear on the state's roads that gas vehicles do, and owners should pay their share for road upkeep.
Fred Nelson, who lives in Spokane and owns an all-electric Nissan Leaf, said he has mixed feelings about the new law, which passed as part of House Bill 2660. "It's a little frustrating. I do understand the logic behind it, because we don't pay gas taxes," he said.
Nelson doesn't like that the fee is more than double what he has been paying. But on the other hand, he said he saved thousands of dollars in state sales taxes and through federal tax credits when he bought his Leaf last year.
"I think it's wrong. You pay taxes on the electricity; it's not like they're getting away for free," said Joe Lambrix, who lives in Olympia and owns two electric cars, one of which is likely to be subject to the fee. "... You're trying to do something good and they still find a way to get revenue. It's unfortunate."
Washington's gas tax stands at 37.5 cents per gallon and is the state's largest source of transportation dollars. It costs the average motorist, driving roughly 12,000 miles in a vehicle that gets 23 mpg, about $200 a year.
Jay Friedland, legislative director for Plug In America, a California-based electric-car advocacy group, said "$100 isn't that big of a deal, but it's not well-balanced policy."
"EV (electric vehicle) drivers really want to pay their fair share, but it seems ridiculous from a policy standpoint," Friedland said. The state on the one hand has given out sales-tax exemptions to encourage residents to buy more electric vehicles, while charging the fee on the other hand, he said.
The group urges states to consider charging drivers based on the vehicles miles traveled and the weight of the vehicle. He said electric vehicles have the added social benefit of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and dependence of fossil fuels.
Nelson said he bought his electric vehicle in 2011 because he's a proponent of alternative energy and figured the Leaf was ideal for commuting the five miles between his home and work. "I've owned enough of the fossil-burning type; I figure I should do something green and clean," he said.

Afgan girl watches US soldiers walk past 370 .
(photo credit:REUTERS)
BRUSSELS/WASHINGTON - US troops are seen posing with the maimed bodies of suspected Afghan insurgents in photos published on Wednesday, an incident that threatened to further fray US-Afghan ties and prompted yet another apology from Washington for soldiers' misbehavior.In one of the pictures, a US paratrooper posed next to an unofficial patch placed beside a body that read "Zombie Hunter," while in another photo soldiers posed with Afghan police holding the severed legs of an insurgent bomber.Two soldiers in another photo held a dead insurgent's hand with the middle finger raised.US officials quickly condemned the behavior seen in the pictures published by the Los Angeles Times.While it was too soon to say whether the photos - which date from 2010 - would cause a violent backlash in Afghanistan, they extend a series of events that have embarrassed the White House and complicated US President Barack Obama's South Asia strategy.In recent months, a video circulated of Marines urinating on corpses that were apparently those of Afghan insurgents; US troops burned copies of the Koran, the Muslim holy book, prompting riots; and a US soldier left his base in a rural province and allegedly slaughtered 17 Afghan civilians.In neighboring Pakistan, relations sunk to a new low after a disputed November incident in which a US airstrike killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. Washington has not apologized in that case.During a meeting of NATO allies in Brussels on Wednesday, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta apologized for the latest incident "on behalf of the Department of Defense and the US government" and said "that behavior is unacceptable."White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One as Obama flew to Ohio for an economic speech, "The conduct depicted in those photos is reprehensible."Carney said Obama was briefed on the matter but he did not know whether the president had seen the photos, which the Los Angeles Times said it received from a soldier.The incident dealt another blow to already tense US and NATO ties with Afghanistan."That behavior that was depicted in those photos absolutely violates both our regulations and more importantly our core values," Panetta told a news conference, adding that the pictures were under investigation."I know that war is ugly and it's violent and I know that young people sometimes caught up in the moment make some very foolish decisions," he added. "I'm not excusing that behavior, but neither do I want these images to bring further injury to our people and to our relationship with the Afghan people."

Tropical storm warnings had been issued for Puerto Rico and parts of the Dominican Republic, from Cabo Engano to Cabo Frances Viejo, according to The Associated Press.
Forecasters had expected the storm's center to pass between the islands on Thursday and eventually curve back to the northeast away from the U.S. mainland. However, storm paths are difficult to predict accurately days in advance.
Heavy rains were still expected across Puerto Rico, according to state meteorologist Ernesto Morales.
"We should not lower our guard," he said. "The storm is very dangerous. There's a very high possibility of flooding."

Ah, the View (Level)!
November 5, 2008 12:06 AM
Reward? How about a first look at Target Field from the View Level? (Click to enlarge greatly.)
I spent 90 minutes touring the ballpark this afternoon with Dan Kenney (Executive Director of the Ballpark Authority).
There's no way to see everything in that short period of time. But we saw a lot, and we did get all the way up to the top to see what the view is like from the cheap seats. I must say, it's pretty good.
There are lots of cool things to see up there:
These guys do the heavy lifting:
From this level (officially, this is the Terrace Level with stairs up to the View Level), the seating goes up toward the canopy, but it also goes down by a half dozen rows which will be attached to the facing of this level. Even in its current unfinished state, it's clear that these will be great seats.
In fact, it's easy now to get a real sense of how the park will feel when completed. It is, if nothing else, completely unique.
More to come!

Thanks for the update. I'll most likely get my season tickets on the view level so this is really appreciated. Thanks!

That might not be such a bad thing (about the Multi-Foods building).
Thanks for the pics, Rick! I love 'em!
those are great.... makes me re think my season ticket plan in the lf bleechers....up there i can see the skyline and the scoreboard
Who plans on going to opening day 2010?
I would assume you will have to be a season ticket holder or pay way above face value to get into opening day 2010....so call the twins and get priority now !
oh and yes i will be going to opening day Matt
i'm fine skipping opening day because no matter what i am going to game #2
i really want to watch the game on tv because chances are it will be the espn sunday night game with the blimp and great coverage.
though if i could get tickets (within a somewhat reasonable price range), i would drop everything and go to the game.
Posted on November 5, 2008 at 11:37 AM by annoying customer 9
I will enjoy watching the games on TV more as well. It will be nice to see fans behind the plate instead of that ugly blue wall we've been looking at for 27 yrs!
I'll be there. And I'll probably be there when they run a test of the park and hold an exhibition.
annoying customer, The first game would not be played on a Sunday. A series never starts on a Sunday. I'm planning on going to the first game. It'll be like a dream !!!
Unless of course, dare i say, there are rain outs days before the Sunday.
I think this year started on a sunday and thye showcased washingtons park.. so Annoying customer is prob correct...
I know that jon miller and joe morgan did it
JohnF - are you forgetting Nat's park this past year? Click on my name for the link to the MLB.com story, then look at a calendar to see what day of the week 3/30/08 was...
President Bush throwing out the first pitch, ESPN Sunday Night Baseball, the walk-off HR (maybe the only sell-out at Nat's Park all year)...
I sure wouldn't be surprised if the Twins got a similar game in 2010.
Posted on November 5, 2008 at 3:42 PM by Moose97 15
They did this in 2007 too (click link in my name).
Posted on November 5, 2008 at 3:46 PM by Moose97 16
I definitely will plan on being there opening day. Actually, opening series since I'll have to make a full trip out of it. Maybe I've been more optimistic than I should be about getting tickets. Not all of the seats are season ticket types. Nobody pop my happy balloon!
ohh sorry did not mean it like you would not be able to get seats i just figure all the ticket brokers will be all over 2010 for the "fad" factor of the new ballpark.. people who dont care about the twins will go ... so it will be hard but not that hard just go online the day tickets go onsale and get whatever is available.... well chekc that, twinsfest will probably sell those out...
either way there will be a man down there with a smile and a "need tickets sign"
im just saying there will not be any walk up tickets availble..
mazaratirick has it right. regardless of how some may feel about it getting tickets to twins games starting in 2010 is not going to be the easy, carefree experience is has been in the past where a lot of people just decide on a whim: "i think i would like to go to a twins game". the metrodome made that possible because it seats 54,000 for baseball.
as i am sure most of you already know you will either need to be a season ticket holder come 2010 or scoop up a bunch of single-game tickets before the season starts if you are unwilling to pay broker/scalper type prices. people are just going to have to get used to that fact.
Oops, You're right I forgot about the single Sunday night opener. I mistake.
The 'View Level' could very well be the best value seats in baseball. This is turning into a top 5 ballpark.
Don't you mean there will be a guy tailgating with a sign that says *Need Tickets*?
If you make your way over to the Yankees website you can now see pictures of the sod laid out on the field. Say what you will about New Yankee Stadium, but their is something magical about seeing the grass in a new stadium. In those few days it went from being a building to being a ballpark. I makes me all the more excited for Target Field to take on the life and persona of a ballpark.
Found this in Sid's column in the S-Trib...The Twins will unveil a new uniform commemorating the team's first season in the Metrodome at a special event featuring Justin Morneau on Nov. 24.
This will be interesting to see!!
Posted on November 5, 2008 at 11:07 PM by Luke H. 25
I saw Sid's blurb about the uni's commemorating the teams FIRST year at the Metrodome. Wouldn't it make more sense the the uniforms commemorate the team's LAST year at the Metrodome? Their were a couple of other items in Sid's column today that make me question his current mental state.

"You talk about the magic, the aura, but what really makes a stadium is the fans. Concrete doesn't talk back to you. Chairs don't talk back to you. It's the people who are there, day in, day out, that makes the place magic."

This view, from the Minnekahda building (or possibly a predecessor), looks toward the right field corner. The City Market, at left, occupied the land where the B ramp and Target Plaza now stand (over I-394). And the Overlook now juts out just a little beyond where that driveway enters the railyard.
Can you name that field? (Braemer Park, Edina)
This is as close as I could get to a pedestrian-eye view of Seventh Street (looking west away from downtown). It's inviting, not imposing, and remarkably dignified.
Concept drawing of Coomer gate (click to enlarge)
The Fifth Street side is pretty busy. There's a small street entrance to the B ramp, then ticket booths and an entrance gate, a rare exterior section not covered in limestone, the wooden screen covering the circulation ramps, the administration building, and finally (just out of view) the interface with Northstar. All of that sits behind the LRT action. How pedestrians will interact with this side of the park is a great mystery to me. You know that Metro Transit won't be letting them cross the tracks anywhere but at either end of the block...
This is the revised version of the center field pavilion (without the restaurant). It looks like there are no seats, just some ledges for people to sit on. It reminds me of the seating on the "bridge" which sticks out of the new Guthrie Theater. Anything which lands in the trees will presumably be a home run, so the "411" sign is apparently just for fun.

Defending the right
7 Nov 2014
Ian Allsop calls for a charity to be set up to campaign on behalf of oppressed right-wing politicians.
Sorry for interrupting, but there is something we need to tell you...
We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website.
If you wish to restrict or block web browser cookies which are set on your device then you can do this through your browser settings, the Help function within your browser will tell you how.
Whether we like it or not, our world is about to get a whole lot smaller.
That's the view of economist and author Jeff Rubin who recently released the fascinating but frightening book entitled 'Why your world is about to get a whole lot smaller'.
I'd suggest all fundraisers read it, for it has connotations for all of us.
Now granted, this is one man's opinion.
But there's lots of evidence to back up Jeff's words. In a nutshell Rubin talks about the worlds obsession with oil, and more importantly the relationship between the price of oil and the state of the global economy.
In regards to oil he says, "it will never be cheap again. Take away cheap oil, and the global economy is getting the shock of its life."
The most alarming part, for a novice on this issue like me, is the rate at which we are running out of the commodity that we rely so heavily on.
Which means, hence the book title, the world is going to get a whole lot smaller.
If that is the case, and travel becomes exorbitantly expensive, what does this mean for the charitable sector? What does that mean for how far the charitable dollar reaches?
If this really is true, then the global downturn will look like a storm in a teacup in comparison. Let's face it, charitable giving has only fallen a few percent in the last year amidst what we keep defining as the word recession since the great depression, but even when it picks up again, can we be sure we can have the impact we really want/need to have on the world?
If the cost to transport relief from say the developed to the developing world is ten times more expensive, what will happen to those who need it most? Will it not get there or will be have to raise ten times as much in the first instance?
If there are fewer cars on the road, how will the local soup kitchen get their daily meals to those in far flung places?
And if it is more difficult to cross the country, or even the city you live in, how will you meet that potential major donor face to face to ask them for that $1m lead gift you need to build your new animal shelter?
Believe the evidence or have your doubts, but regardless, these are issues we will face, and in our lifetime.
I think it's time charities starting planning for disasters, and I don't just mean tsunamis. I mean financial downturns. I mean the warming of the planet. I mean the world running out of oil.
The latest downturn has shown us how exposed we can be. It's time we start looking ten and twenty years ahead.

Bloomberg. The games division saw a profit during the last holiday season, and Sony expects PlayStation HQ to report an annual profit for the fiscal year ending March 2009, as well as at least 10 million in PS3 unit sales.
While PS2 sales are in slow decline, Sony said lower production costs and AAA titles (like this one, and this one, too) will help boost the division.

Joy of survival trumps race failure for rowers
Relevant offers
Other Sports
An Auckland man has been winched to safety after his boat almost sunk during an endurance rowing event.
Colin Parker, 36, was the lone Kiwi on the four-man Team Pacific Rowers who were competing in the Great Pacific Race.
The event – calling itself "the biggest, baddest human endurance challenge on the planet" – sees crews attempt to row more than 3800km from Monterey, California to Honolulu, Hawaii.
The mammoth journey, which started on June 7, can last anywhere between 30 and 90 days depending on teams' proficiency and weather conditions but Parker and his crew were rescued less than two weeks in.
Race director Chris Martin said the US Coast Guard was advised their boat Britannia 4 was taking on water and experiencing difficulties.
Team Pacific Rowers told the story of their rescue in an online statement.
"We all sat on our swamped deck in orange survival suits, in total darkness, awaiting rescue," they said.
A support yacht was despatched but could not get to the men because of adverse weather conditions.
Because of the six-metre waves and the water filling the vessel, a helicopter was then sent which eventually winched the crew members to safety; nearly three hours after their initial appeal for help.
"Watching a professional rescue diver launch himself under the search lights of a helicopter into stormy seas to swim to our rescue is a sight none of us will forget," the men said.
They were flown back to California, all without injury and they were quick to pay tribute to their rescuers.
"They are among the most professional and humble people we have ever met. They are truly lifesavers," the rowers said.
"We understand the pressures that adventurers like us put on emergency services. It is because of people like those mentioned above that those of us who row oceans, climb mountains, play rugby or do anything that puts us at risk are able to push boundaries, personal or otherwise. We will be forever in their debt."
The team - made up of freelance journalist Parker and Englishmen Fraser Hart, Sam Collins and James Wright - said they believed they were prepared for the race but within a day had started taking on water.
Once the electric bilge gave up, the hand pump was no match for the wild seas and they called for help.
"We are truly gutted that we were unable to make it to Hawaii. We have been preparing for this race for 18 months, saving every last penny and spending an inordinate amount of time," they said.
"However, our sadness about not making it is vastly outweighed at the joy of still being alive."
Despite the dramatic rescue, the men said they were keen to do the event in 2016 and believed a world-record time was "not just a pipe dream".

As federal agencies get more comfortable in their transition to a more mobile landscape, discussions will revolve around more about securing actual data rather than devices and how the concept of "bring your own device" fits into the architecture.
"BYOD is the epitome of securing the data and not the device," said Rick Holgate, CIO at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. "It's inherently a model which in which I'm not worrying about what's going on with the device because it's someone else's device and I'm not going to take control of the whole device but I am going to try deliver enterprise data securely on that platform."
Holgate spoke at a June 4 panel at the Management of Change conference, along with Will Randolph, chief of the acquisition office at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Homeland Security Department, and Greg Shipley, vice president of architecture and engineering at InQTel.
One of the challenges ATF now has is to look at different mobility and BYOD pilots and create close to a holistic approach, "something that looks like a reference model for use across federal agencies," Holgate said.
DHS' cybersecurity staff has been working on multiple reference architectures and is close to releasing a mobile security reference architecture that will address questions on how to secure mobile devices and other issues around BYOD architecture. That effort somewhat mirrors what the newly announced digital strategy is trying to do around mobility for civilian agencies, Holgate said
"Civilian agencies generally do things slightly differently, and DHS kind of has that cybersecurity role for civilian agencies so the DHS reference architecture is really aimed at civilian agencies," Holgate said. "I know DOD is also looking at the same kinds of considerations but I'm not sure quite how in line they are with some of the work DHS is doing."

Spurs' Green, Neal, Leonard have same amount of points as LeBron, Wade, Bosh through 3 games of the Finals
Jun 12, 2013, 12:26 PM EST
SAN ANTONIO — The Spurs and their "Big Three" have taken it to the Heat so far in this series, and it's one of the reasons that Miami finds itself down two games to one in the NBA Finals.
But it isn't Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili who are keeping pace with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh through the first three games — it's been the more unsung, role players who have risen up to perform on the game's greatest stage, as pointed out by Tom Haberstroh of ESPN.com.
Danny Green, Gary Neal, and Kawhi Leonard have combined to score 130 points in the Finals thus far, and it's the exact same amount tallied by James, Wade and Bosh.
Small sample size theater and all that, sure. And of course, the numbers get skewed even further with a game like Green and Neal combined for on Tuesday, scoring 51 of those 130 points in a single night while contributing to an historic shooting performance from three-point distance.
Miami will have to find away to defend the arc better as the series moves forward, but the bigger problem has been what the Heat haven't been getting from their All-Star core, especially on Tuesday, and especially from James.
LeBron said afterward he just has to play better, and that's going to mean taking the shots he wants instead of those that the Spurs are choosing to allow. James shot just 7-of-21 from the field in Game 2, but the location of those attempts is what needs to change for the Heat to start to find a consistent measure of success.
James was 5-of-7 in Game 2 from inside the restricted area, but made just one of his five attempts from beyond the three-point arc, and was even worse from midrange, where he was able to connect only one of nine times. Smart teams emphasize creating shots in the paint or in the corners for open looks at a short three, and by LeBron settling for the open midrange looks instead of forcing the issue to create something better, the Spurs are getting exactly what they want out of the league's MVP.
It wasn't only LeBron, however — his teammates seemed to be fine with settling for these shots in Game 2, as well. Miami was only 7-of-33 from outside the restricted area and inside the three-point arc, and that accounted for 43 percent of their shots.
None of that can continue if the Heat are to bounce back and eventually get control of this series, and you have to think that at some point the role players for San Antonio will cool off, and the Spurs will need to turn to their stars to get the required level of production.
But it doesn't have to go on very much longer — it's worked through three games, and the Spurs just need it to continue for two more in order to end up winning the title.
