WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon says about 16,000 U.S. troops will go into Afghanistan in the first wave of the new surge approved by President Barack Obama.
Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman announced Monday that about 1,500 Marines from Camp Lejeune in North Carolina will leave for Afghanistan later this month. Military sources have said the first troops are expected to arrive by Christmas.
After the first of the year, the Marines begin sending another 6,200 from Lejeune and Camp Pendleton in California. The Army will also begin sending in the first of its forces - a training brigade from Fort Drum, N.Y. Whitman said about 4,100 support forces from various places will also deploy early. Defense Secretary Robert Gates signed the deployment orders last week.

As part of Hollaback!'s campaign to end campus harassment, Rutgers University student Megan Pickarski, has shared with us her college harassment stories both on and off campus. And Hollaback! is going to share them with you in four installments all this week to give the masses a taste of what is a stark reality for college students.
Megan is majoring in Women and Gender Studies with a minor in Philosophy. She has a fearless passion for helping people and is dedicated to revealing the harassment that occurs on campus and on the street every day in New Brunswick.
Below is the first story from Megan Pickeraski's series Men Who Whistle and Howl Like Dogs:
While at a house party with your friends, you decide to walk downstairs to the basement to grab a beer. On your way down, someone grabs your ass. You turn around to say something, but the basement's too damn dark and crowded to make one person out from another.
Beer in hand, you make your way back up the stairs only to have your ass grabbed again. You turn around and this time find yourself face to face with two greasy muscle heads. They both smirk as one steps closer towards you, you can smell the alcohol on his breath.
"Yo baby, we wer' just tryin' to be friendly," he says as he looks you up and down.
You step forward and try to move through them, telling them to get the hell out of your way, but it's like trying to move a mountain. The one on your right starts grabbing at you with his coarse hands, the other one stands back and commentates,
"Oh yeah, you like that don't you. Don't you."
Your whole body clenches up in fear as you push yourself against the wall, trying to escape his desperate pawing. Fortunately, only about a minute goes by (although it feels like forever), before a friend comes bounding down the stairs and pulls you to safety.
The grease heads scurry away. You can hear them chuckle like two little school children as they head back downstairs to the basement. You sigh in relief, but leave the party with your friends feeling angry and violated.

Wi-Fi market
Chicago's plan for municipal Wi-Fi is both slim on details and suffering from many of the same problems that have plagued municipal Wi-Fi systems wherever they have been attempted.
Municipal Wi-Fi systems in cities like San Francisco, Boston, Houston and Seattle have all struggled to remain viable, and have all faced significant cost overruns and little interest from customers. Instead of spending millions of taxpayer dollars on a muni Wi-Fi system that is not needed, Chicago should focus on creating a vibrant market that would encourage telecom companies to provide these services privately, through competitive tax rates and business regulations.

Veggies and curry are a flavorful, healthy match that's easy to make — and just as easy to enjoy!
Make quick work of this recipe by preparing all the vegetables a day in advance and storing them in individual zipper bags or containers. We make suggestions here but you can use any combination of vegetables you like; be sure to consider the cooking time of each item and add it to the pan in order: start with the densest root vegetables, then add the softer, quicker-cooking items like peas or corn at the end.
This dish is best when served immediately. If you hold it too long or reheat, the vegetables will lose their vibrant color and tender-crisp texture.
Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring frequently, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
Add the ginger, garlic, curry, cumin and pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes to develop the spice flavors.
Add the evaporated milk and 1/2 cup of water to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the potatoes, reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The curry should simmer, not boil.
Add the carrots and cook, covered, for 5 minutes.
Add the cauliflower and cook, covered, for 8 minutes.
Add the broccoli, beans and zucchini. Cook, uncovered, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
Add the tofu and heat through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Young Australian creative writers have the opportunity to showcase their talents through the annual Monash University Undergraduate Prize for Creative Writing (MUUPCW) presented at this year's Emerging Writers' Festival.
Now in its second year, the MUUPCW is for new and emerging writers and open to all undergraduate students undertaking a degree at any Australian university.
Monash University's Dr Ali Alizadeh, from the School of English, Communications and Performance Studies, said Monash University was proud to be the long-term educational partner of the Emerging Writers' Festival.
"The MUUPCW extends both parties' commitment to providing learning and career-advancement opportunities to Australia's emerging literary voices," Dr Alizadeh said.
"New and emerging writers often find it very difficult to receive any recognition and Monash is happy to encourage their commitment to creative writing through this award. The quality of work entered last year was extremely high and I am confident this year's entries will build on that high standard."
The award is open to all forms of creative writing, including short stories, poetry, non-fiction narrative and narrative verse.
The award carries a cash prize of $4000 for the winner, with an additional $1000 for the highest placed piece of writing from a Monash University student. If the overall winner is a Monash University student they will receive both cash prizes.
Dr Melinda Harvey, from the University's School of English, Communications and Performance Studies, will judge the prize, along with novelist Hannah Kent and editor at Scribe Publications Julia Carlomagno.
The winners of the MUUPCW will be announced at the 2013 Emerging Writers' Festival, which will be held between 23 May and 2 June 2013.
The winners will also receive tickets to this year's Emerging Writers' Festival and a paid publication opportunity in the festival publication, The Emerging Writer.
Entries between 1500-3000 words will be accepted via online submission until the competition closes on Monday 22 April. Chapters from longer works are not eligible for consideration.
Monash University is the long-term educational partner of the Emerging Writers' Festival and the MUUPCW extends both parties' commitment to providing learning and career-advancement opportunities to Australia's emerging literary voices.

Both of the new offerings will have fully unlocked multipliers and should be fairly competitive price-to-performance. What that price is remains to be seen. When we'll see them is unknown at this point, but their release "… is happening on a rolling timeline, so availability will vary by market."
They have also announced a price drop in the FX-8120 effective today. To what they didn't say, which seemed odd to me, but I'm just the messenger. They expect retail outlets to reflect the change too. Engaget seems to think they're dropping it to $185, which would be a $15 drop from current NewEgg prices. I'll assume Engaget referencing the FX-8150 was a typo (see their URL), and that they're not dropping the FX-8150 by $65. $15 off the FX-8120 sounds more realistic.
Next up we have a revised launch schedule through the grapevine. From HWBot, who got it from TechPowerUP!, who got it from SweClockers, it seems Intel has revised the schedule a bit. I'll pick from the middle of the pack for the quote (TechPowerUP!).
- 8 April, 2012: This was supposed to be the day "everything" (all CPU models slated for April, compatible motherboards) launched. Instead on this day, motherboard vendors will launch their products based on Intel Z77, Z75, H77, and B75 chipsets. System builders (you) will have to use existing "Sandy Bridge" processors, which are very much compatible with those motherboards. You will not be able to buy "Ivy Bridge" processors from anywhere on this day.
- 29 April, 2012: This is when Intel will launch quad-core Core i5, Core i7 "Ivy Bridge". On this day, the media will be able to post reviews of the new processor platform. It's not clear if you'll be able to buy these chips on this day, either. Perhaps you might.
- 3 June, 2012: This is when Intel will launch Q77 and Q75 chipset. The notebook platform based on "Ivy Bridge", dual-core "Ivy Bridge" processors, and the much talked about Ultrabook "Ivy Bridge" form-factor are due for "sometime in June".
We can neither confirm nor deny that; indeed I just plain don't know, but it's more fodder for the rumor mill to discuss.
Lastly, we're sad to report that memory manufacturer Elpida (who made the much coveted Hyper memory ICs) has filed for the equivalent of Chapter 11 in Japan. It seems they owe around $5.6 billion which they weren't able to find partners to pay. This one was already posted in the forums, feel free to discuss: Hypers Just Got More Expensive…. Elipida Files for Bankruptcy. Credit for that find goes to Tech Reaction.
All in all, an interesting day for overclockers!

- They're trying to catch up to the performance gap with the Sandy Bridge processors that have been out for a while now. And soon there will be Ivy Bridge.
Personally, while my current build is AMD and ATI, I think if I was to build a computer from scratch today (which I might actually do for someone else fairly soon....) it'd certainly be with an i5. Excellent performance for the cost.It looks like the trying to close the gap in performance to Sandy Bridge by turning up the clock speed, its not going to work that way.
Having said that this is a good move from AMD, this will up the performance somewhat.
More importantly, i like there prices, an FX-1820 (8 core / 4 Module) now costs £145 (UK) that's much less the £170 for a 2500K and while its not as good as the 2500K in most things it does well in multi-threading and modern games, its a very good all rounder, and cheap.
I can't wait to see PileDriver.... the IPC performance on them should be up 15% and 4Ghz+ clocks the norm across the board.There's an Intel i7 dual core lga1366 CPU with a stock clock of 4.2GHz I believe. Custom build on the GT die for stock trading stuff where microseconds matter.Nice to hear AMD trying to raise the bar and get some even competition with Intel, a 4.4 clock speed is insane for an out of the box product.
But then again clock speed isn't everything, would rather see better FP or thread handling. Although I guess that is partly Microsoft's fault with win7, have to wait for Windows 8 to really see how it does.now i see that my overclock does not seem that high lol
hmm now i dont know what im getting my friend for a computer!!!!
well i guess i will see when his laptop breaks fullyUnfortunately, the 4100 loses to the dual core 2120 in almost every measure, and sometimes by a significant margin. It also use ~50 more watts. Overclocking it out of the box and making it a 125w chip is just going to make the numbers worse - it'll still lose in most measurements, and will use even more power. Reeks of desperation.bmwbaxterThat is nothing new.
Stock clock speeds over 4Ghz is new.
Yea but I would of rather they concentrated on actually making it faster than the piis, **** I broke down and got a 2500k and I hate Intel lolInfektiousbut the ipc is crap...
That is nothing new.
Stock clock speeds over 4Ghz is new.Over 4 Ghz but the ipc is crap...over 4 Ghz as a stock frequency, nice job AMD! hopefully this will become the norm.

The 2007 Tablas Creek Vineyard Antithesis Chardonnay is Tablas Creek's eigth bottling of this traditional Burgundian varietal. In the early 1990s, we imported all our Rhône varietal cuttings from France. At the same time, at the request of a Sonoma winery, we imported the highly regarded small-berry, low-vigor Chardonnay clone named "La Vineuse" and planted 1.5 acres to produce a small amount of bud wood for sale. Three years later, we got our first small crop of Chardonnay.
After tasting the grapes, we thought them so compelling that we made the "Antithesis" Chardonnay our first non-Rhône bottling, as well as our first single-varietal wine. We have continued to produce a small amount each year since.
Our Chardonnay grapes were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
Chardonnay thrives in our chalky clay soils (much like those of Burgundy), and the cool nights in Paso Robles serve to balance the warm, sunny days. We chose a terraced north-east facing block above our grapevine nursery for the Chardonnay.
The 2007 vintage was the product of three yield-reducing factors. Both 2006 and 2005 were relatively high-production years, and we expected less production in 2007. In addition, the previous winter was dry (just over 30% of normal rainfall) and cold, both of which contributed to small berries and small clusters. Ripening over the summer was gradual and harvest just slightly earlier than normal. Crop sizes were down between 15% and 30% compared to 2006. The low yields resulted in wines with tremendous concentration, good acids and phenolic ripeness at lower than normal alcohols. The Chardonnay, as usual our earliest-ripening varietal, was harvested in one day on September 1st.
The Chardonnay grapes were whole cluster pressed, and fermented using native yeasts in a mix of neutral oak and stainless steel barrels to preserve the wine's varietal and mineral character. The wine went through full malolactic fermentation in barrel. It was bottled in July 2008.
The 2007 Antithesis is intensely Chardonnay in character: pale gold in color, with a nose of lemon, pear, and mineral, a rich palate of spiced pear, citrus and butter, balanced by fresh acidity and a long, clean finish.

'Neighbors' ***
If ever two genres of film were inextricably intertwined, it would seem to be the frat-house movie and the gross-out comedy. After all, do frats ever do anything that's not gross? Not in the movies, they don't.
"Neighbors," starring (and produced by) Seth Rogen and directed by Nicholas Stoller, proudly straddles these two genres and boldly tosses in a third: The "We've-just-become-parents, now-what?" movie. You know these: Baby arrives, cute as a button but bringing all kinds of trouble, and then things are resolved in a syrupy sweet finale.
It's safe to say that syrupy sweetness is not a problem with "Neighbors." In fact, it is noisy, crude, profane, gross and sometimes mean. Luckily, it's also extremely funny, and you'll realize by the end that it has some heart, too.
Most importantly, what it may suffer in narrative coherence it makes up for with a first-rate cast – the reliably funny Rogen, the game-for-anything Rose Byrne and in the most pleasant surprise, a truly excellent Zac Efron as an immature, narcissistic, vindictive and, by the way, unbelievably buff frat leader whose obnoxious brio might just be masking deeper issues.
Rogen plays Mac Radner, a young father who clearly hasn't smoothly completed his transition to adulthood. He still dreams of the epic partying he once engaged in. And so does his wife, Kelly (Byrne, beautiful as always, and energetically foul-mouthed here). When a friend suggests an evening at a rave, Kelly and Mac want to go so badly, they decide to bring baby. But they spend so much energy gathering up the stroller, the car seat, the breast pump and the cooler, that they collapse in a heap by the front door. Parenthood ain't easy.
Still, the couple's doing pretty well in their new suburban digs. Until Delta Psi moves in right next door.
At first, Mac and Kelly try to make nice with the frat's leader, Teddy (Efron), who's such a fine physical specimen that Mac calls him "something a gay guy designed in a lab." Debating the least geeky way to say "could ya keep it down?" they head next door, and end up partying all night, just to show how cool they are. But soon, the noise is too much, and they're calling the cops. The war is on.
The script by Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O'Brien misses no opportunity to mine frat-film clichés. Beer pong? Check. Stunts involving sex toys? Check. But it's quite well done, thanks to the nimble comic instincts of Rogen, Byrne, Efron and also Dave Franco as Pete, Teddy's right-hand man at the frat, who unlike his buddy, actually seems to be aiming for a productive future. (Lisa Kudrow, in a small role as a college official, is reliably zany.)
Occasionally the humor goes awry – or just too far. A baby munching on a used condom? "What's that you have there, sweetie, a balloon?" Mac asks. (Cue the delighted groans in the multiplex.) Maybe the joke could have stopped there. But it doesn't.
And how about the visual gag involving, well, a nursing woman's breasts? Was that really necessary?
At a certain point, the movie starts to feel like an extended "Saturday Night Live" skit, with not much concern for narrative progression. But few people will complain.

Giveaway board games are wonderful gifts that bring people together. Your clients will love it! You know how excited you get when you enter a restaurant or a pub then you see a foosball table you can play on, right? That's the kind of excitement you will be sharing when you give out these customized board games. That's the kind of exposure you want your brand to be associated with.

The fun of board games is not monopolized by foosball or soccer game tables. You can choose to get a customizable 'FiKi' football set as well! Flick and Kick football (also known as paper football) is based on the American football game, but at a smaller tabletop scale . A "football" of paper material, shaped into a triangle, is 'flicked' back and forth by two opponents. The game's simplicity has made it very popular among young boys, but is even played by older people (say, bored employees). The impromptu version of this game is more often played because it is easy to fold a piece of paper into a triangle. But if you ever gave out FiKi football as board games with logo, you can bet that people would be ecstatic that they wouldn't have to bear with a make-shift paper football. No matter which game you choose for your promotional board games, you can be sure they will be used and appreciated. Everyone loves 'em!
We also recommend: Promotional Phone Stands, Promotional Fly Swatters, Promotional Calculators
Try giving these personalized board games out at, say, a tradeshow, and for sure your company will have the spot light.

Santa Margarita Ranch was this couple's choice to say their vows. It is probably one of our favorite venues to work at on the Central Coast because it is rich in history and tells a story of our area.
The blooms of the day were dahlias, peonies, anemones, succulents, scabiosa flowers and pods.

Kentucky's junior senator, Republican Rand Paul, announced today that he would not be voting in favor of the debt ceiling compromise pending in the Senate. In an "open letter," sent to the press and posted on his web page, he characterized the proposal with a paraphrased metaphor from fellow-senator Jim DeMint: "When you're speeding toward the edge of a cliff, you don't set the cruise control. You stop the car. The current deal to raise the debt ceiling doesn't stop us from going over the fiscal cliff. At best, it slows us from going over it at 80 mph to going over it at 60 mph."
Sen. Paul complained of a lack of balance in the proposal: "This plan never balances. The President called for a 'balanced approach.' But the American people are calling for a balanced budget." Complaining that the compromise deal does nothing to reduce the fiscal obligations of "Obamacare, TARP, trillion-dollar wars, and runaway entitlement spending." He predicted that the legacy of these expenditures will be trillions of dollars in new debt.
The senator cited a number of specific problems with the proposal which cause him concern:
Sen. Paul argued that "Credit rating agencies have clearly stated the type of so-called cuts envisioned in this plan will result in our AAA bond rating being downgraded," and predicted that the only way to avoid this downgrading, and the resulting economic problems that stem from that, is for this bill to fail.
"This plan does not solve our problem," concluded Sen. Paul. "Not even close. I cannot abide the destruction of our economy, therefore I vigorously oppose this deal and I urge my colleagues and the American people to do the same."

KOTR is history but the winners won't be announced until AFTER the webisodes air, starting in November. The teams don't even know! In the meantime, check the best photos and videos from our #thrasherkotr2014 feed.
This year's mystery guests were all featured in the Osiris video, "The Storm". Which one is gonna give their team an edge over the others?
KOTR has begun... and we have the book right here. Take a peek and see what's in store for Element, Birdhouse, and Flip. We may even give YOU the opportunity to complete some challenges...
Birdhouse will be defending their 2013 title against heavweights, Element and Flip, starting Sept. 5th; battling their way East in one of the gnarliest KOTR line-ups yet! Which five skaters should each team bring? Check the poll and cast your votes!
Jaws, Gregoire, Loy, Hale, Hawk, Dixon, Walker, Raybourn and others kill a bunch of parks in this clip from Birdhouse.
Here's a bunch of Midway Point hijinx, Jaws slams, and a legendary LA spot. But most of all, Raybourn's loop is even more impressive when you see his wild attempts.
Birdhouse ends strong to get the win. Mike Davis, Clive Dixon and Clint Walker are skate demons, Wee-Man swings by, Jaws blasts the biggest ollie of KOTR (of course), and you gotta see the enders with Gravette and Raybourn. Amazing. Congrats, guys.
Everyone wondered if Tony Hawk would get involved and get dirty to help Birdhouse on KOTR. Hell yes, he does. Also, Clint Walker is the make-out king, and Clive Dixon lipslides a monster rail.
Here's Birdhouse killing it. Ben Raybourn is a transition genius, Clint Walker gets 25 make-outs, and you gotta see Mike Davis frontside flip a spine. It's so sick.
Oh. Shit. Here we go. Chocolate vs. Real vs. Birdhouse vs. Enjoi. Webisodes start Monday, Jan 6. These are gonna be good.
A winning KOTR team has the perfect balance of skill, drive and dudes willing to suck face with lady hobos. Find out who each team picked for their ride on the highway to hell.King of the Road 2013 starts this Friday!
Weigh the options and vote for your ultimate line-ups for Birdhouse, Enjoi, Chocolate and Real. Pick five skaters from each team. Teams announced soon.

Manufacturers already preparing cases for the rumored BlackBerry Q30 (Windermere)
With its unusually wide QWERTY design and lack of numbers and punctuation, it is believed that the keyboard will work using a combination of touch and gestures. If the look of the phone doesn't grab you, keep in mind that this is probably not close to being a final design for the device.
The latest rumored specs for the phone reveal a 4.5 inch 1440 x 1440 resolution screen with a quad-core 2.36GHz Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AB CPU under the hood. Tending to the graphics will be the Adreno 330 GPU. 3GB of RAM is on board. Apparently there will be a version of the phone for Verizon (R133), Sprint (R134), AT&T (R135), EAME (R136) and China. T-Mobile? Their license to sell BlackBerry handsets expires on April 25th.

Personally, I think BB should keep their standard keyboard... not using this "simple" but wide keyboard...
Otherwise, it will be inconvenient even to hardcore BB users...

Heineken Cup semi-finalists Toulon and Clermont do battle in Marseille on Sunday for the lead in the Top 14 as the season reaches its climax.
With three rounds left to play, the leading duo are virtually assured of automatic qualification for the semi-finals but the scrap for the remaining four play-off places rages on.
Defending champions Toulouse have a difficult end to the season as they travel to Montpellier on Saturday before visiting Clermont next week.
Castres are gunning for a home play-off and will expect to get the job done when they host Bordeaux-B�gles on Friday.
Perpignan's play-off hopes depend on victory over Biarritz in their delayed clash on Sunday while Racing M�tro will be aiming for a full-house against already relegated Mont-de-Marsan.
Elsewhere, Agen are clinging for survival as they welcome a Stade Fran�ais side whose focus may be elsewhere while Bayonne and Grenoble have nothing but pride left to play for.

Castres Olympique v Union Bordeaux-B�gles
Stade Pierre Antoine, Castres
Bordeaux-Begles have never won at Stade Pierre Antoine but a losing bonus-point for UBB would be enough to ensure their place in the top division next season and relegate Agen in the process.
Castres have been virtually untouchable at home this season and are looking for their fifth straight win at their fortress. With another home fixture against Mont-de-Marsan next week, CO look set to host a play-off despite facing a trip to Racing on the last day of the regular season.
One man the Castres fans will hope finds some form is English wing Marcel Garvey, who has yet to score a try in 15 games in the Top 14.
The hosts also welcome back French international full-back Brice Dulin.
Castres: 15 Brice Dulin, 14 Marcel Garvey, 13 Romain Cabannes, 12 Seremaia Bai, 11 Marc Andreu, 10 Remi Tales, 9 Rory Kockott, 8 Antonie Claassen, 7 Yannick Caballero, 6 Piula Faasalele, 5 Christophe Samson, 4 Matthias Rolland, 3 Karena Wihongi, 2 Brice Mach, 1 Saimone Taumoepeau.

Previous result Castres won 16-13
Prediction: We can see this going only one way. Castres by at least ten points
Kick-off: 20:50 (18.50 GMT)
Referee: Alexandre Ruiz
Montpellier H�rault Rugby v Stade Toulousain
Stade Yves Du Manoir, Montpellier
Despite his club having the largest budget in Europe, Guy Nov�s insists on telling us all that it's impossible for Toulouse to win in Montpellier, even though they claimed a 45-25 victory there last year.
Toulouse still have a mathematical chance of direct qualification for the semi-finals, but those hopes depend on Clermont, whom they face next week, losing to Toulon on Sunday.
The defending champions have won five of their eleven games on the road this season and face a Montpellier side smarting from their loss to Clermont in the Heineken Cup quarter-finals and are fighting for a place in the play-offs.
Montpellier currently sit fifth in the table and have a six-point advantage over seventh-placed Perpignan in the race for a top six finish.
Toulouse will be without front-rowers Antoine Guillamon and Gary Botha while Nov�s has suggested he may rest a handful of his French internationals.
Montpellier are without France fly-half Francois Trinh-Duc, who is sidelined for three weeks. He is likely to be replaced by Argentine international centre Santiago Fernandez. Hooker Charles Geli is also serving a 10-day suspension for his fisticuffs in Mont-de-Marsan.
Remaining fixtures:
Toulouse: Clermont (Away); Grenoble (Home)
Montpellier: Bayonne (Away); Perpignan (Home)
Previous result: Toulouse won 27-9
Prediction: The hosts have everything to play for. Montpellier by less than seven points
Kick-off: 15:00 (13.00 GMT)
Referee: J�r�me Garc�s
SU Agen v Stade Fran�ais Paris
Stade Armandie, Agen
Agen look set for the drop and once again Stade Fran�ais could be the team to push them over the edge.
Back in 2007, Agen were relegated for the first time in their illustrious history as the eight-time champions succumbed to the Parisians on the last day of the championship.
Last year Agen won this fixture 37-13, but this time even victory might not be enough for les Lots-et-Garonnais as their future is linked to Bordeaux-B�gles, whom they trail by 14 points.
Just how motivated Stade will be remains to be seen. They have nothing left to play for in the domestic league and may well keep their powder dry in preparation for their Challenge Cup semi-final against Perpignan in a fortnight.
Agen welcome back loose forward Opeti Fonua but skipper Junior Pelesasa is still injured.
Stade are without scrum-half Jerome Fillol, who has been banned for 14 weeks for spitting at Bath's Peter Stringer last week.
Previous result: Stade Fran�ais won 20-13
Prediction: The home side will fight to the end. Agen by six points
Kick-off: 18:30 (16.30 GMT)
Referee: Christophe Berdos
Aviron Bayonnais v FC Grenoble
Stade Jean Dauger, Bayonne
Nothing but pride to play for here as both teams are safe from relegation but out of the play-off race.
Grenoble have not won a game since mid-February and face a Bayonne team looking for a positive result in their second last home match of the season.
Bayonne prop Neemia Tialata will have to pass a fitness test on Friday with 20-year-old Anthony Etrillard waiting in the wings to take over if the former All Black can't make it.
Previous result: Grenoble won 9-6
Prediction: We'll back the Basque hosts. Bayonne by twelve points
Kick-off: 18:30 (16.30 GMT)
Referee: C�dric Marchat
Stade Montois v Racing-M�tro 92
Stade Guy Boniface, Mont-de-Marsan
With just one home win to show all season, it's tough to see Mont-de-Marsan stopping in-form Racing's march towards the play-offs.
Indeed, even if les Montois caused one of the upsets of the season by winning in the capital earlier this term, the Parisians arrive with lofty ambitions as a bonus-point win would be a massive boost to their chances of a place in the knock-out phases.
Racing, who lost their first game since December to Toulouse last time out, face a derby with Stade Francais and tricky clash with Castres in the last fortnight, so it's vital that they get the job done.
Previous result: Mont-de-Marsan won 17-16
Prediction: The visitors should win, but will have to fight for their points. Racing by twelve points
Kick-off: 20:40 (18.40 GMT)
Referee: S�bastien Minery
USA Perpignan v Biarritz Olympique
Stade Aim� Giral, Perpignan
All the pressure is on Perpignan. With away games in Agen and Montpellier still on the menu, victory is non-negotiable for the Catalans if they hope to stay in the running for the play-offs.
Biarritz still have plenty to play for as they are still in the fight for a place in the Heineken Cup. Leapfrogging USAP in the run-in would leave the Basques in seventh place, which would be good enough to qualify if either Clermont or Toulon go on to win the European title.
Of course both these sides are also still in the running for the Challenge Cup crown, which is also a way back into the Heineken Cup.
USAP have a good record at home against Biarritz having won the last five games between these sides at Stade Aim� Giral.
Perpignan loose forward Dan Leo is serving a suspension after being handed a red card against Toulouse last week.
Previous result: Biarritz won 15-3
Prediction: USAP are a solid bet at home. Perpignan by eight points
Kick-off: 14:15 (12.15 GMT)
Referee: S�bastien Clout�
Rugby Club Toulonnais v ASM Clermont Auvergne
Stade V�lodrome, Marseille
Arguably the game of the season is a sell-out at Marseille's football stadium as France's - and perhaps Europe's - top two go head to head.
With both clubs still chasing a French-European double and the championship lead at stake, Sunday's clash on the Mediterranean coast has the potential to be a classic.
Last year, Clermont won 17-0 in Toulon but the hosts' form this season suggests a repeat of that result is highly unlikely.
Toulon have averaged 3,6 tries per match this season but are up against the second best defence in the country with Clermont conceding just one try per game on average on the road.
The game in Clermont earlier this season ended try-less and in controversial circumstances when Brock James slotted the winning penalty in the 83rd minute.
Once again Jonny Wilkinson will be at the centre of the Toulon attack. Wilko has scored 45 percent of Toulon's points this season. Alarmingly, the English fly-half has improved his points tally every year since his arrival in France.
Clermont's Heineken Cup quarter-final win over Montpellier came at a heavy cost as Julien Bonnaire (elbow), Aurelien Rougerie (hip), Napolioni Nalaga (back) and Morgan Parra (rested) have all been ruled out. James, Davit Zirakashvili and Benjamin Kayser are also doubtful. Benson Stanley and Julien Malzieu are, however, both fit again.
Former All Black fly-half Mike Delany, who only started training with Clermont on Wednesday, could start according to coach Vern Cotter after his licence arrived on Friday.
Toulon have named Danie Rossouw in their extended squad while Joe van Niekerk has been left out due to personal reasons. All the big names, including Chris Masoe, Bakkie Botha, Carl Hayman and Matt Giteau should start.
Remaining fixtures:
Toulon: Grenoble (A); Agen (H)
Clermont: Toulouse (H); Bordeaux-Begle (H)
Previous result: Clermont won 24-21
Prediction: A tough one to call, but Toulon may place greater value on finishing top. Toulon by less than five points
Kick-off: 16:10 (14.10 GMT)
Referee: Jean-Luc Rebollal

The OK™ mill combines the drying, grinding and separation processes into just one unit, which simplifies the plant layout. And because it operates at a low noise level, outdoor installation is feasible – substantially reducing civil construction costs and improving the working environment. Compared to ball mills, the OK™ mill can produce better or equivalent cement quality.
Even though the OK™ mill is very sturdy, you should still be sure to:
The rollers and the wear liners of the grinding table are segmented and therefore easy to replace when worn out. Roller wear segments can easily be reversed or replaced while inside the cement grinding mill – that is, without taking rollers out of the grinding mill. The separator reject cone is provided with rail and trolley for that purpose.
By reversing the wear segments of the rollers to use both sides of the segments, you can achieve higher utilisation.
We recommend visually inspecting the cement grinding mill every two weeks, both while running and stopped.
Major jobs include reversal/change of segments and/or hardfacing. A full hardfacing usually takes 3-4 days. For a cement clinker grinder, hardfacing is usually required annually; for slag grinding, expect to hardface every 3-4 months.
The grinding mill's swing-in/out roller support system makes it easy to maintain the rollers and suspension system.
Swinging one roller out and changing the seals takes 24 hours, while changing a hydraulic cylinder takes 10-16 hours.
The cement grinding mills have 2 access doors for ease of maintenance, and entry is possible as soon as the grinding mill is stopped. Any jobs done inside the grinding mill have to wait until it is cooled down – typically 3-4 hours.

I PLAY IT OFF LEGIT Lyrics - Ween
Where've you been?
I was out with Pat
Was she shootin' shit?
Yeah, but I played it off legit
Talkin' to some joe, hangin' out shootin' shit
Tries to tell me somethin', I play it off legit
How did you handle it?
I played it off legit
So pleasant when the sails of the seas of orion gently slip
No more need for God's sorrow, I just play it off legit
Dude's hounding this bitch, okay, I'm checkin' out the shit laughin' (yeah)
Later on I'll fuck her (oh man), she knows I'm legit
(She does? I didn't know that) (That's right) (From the start)
(Bitch was houndin' and shit) (Tell me about that sexy scorpion)
A sexy scorpion that stings her with wit
I play it off legit because I know I'm legit
(That's right, I know you're legit)
(I'm legit) (Played it off cool)
My ma bought me a cool shirt, when I wear it I'm the shit
I'm really not that legit, my mom bought it
(She wasn't playing it off legit either) (Nah, she knows I'm legit)
(Did you clap when you saw her?)
I clapped when I saw her, when I found her, you split
When I'm on the go, you know I'm legit
(I mean, I was really legit, up on the go that night)
(Ah you were...know I'm legit)
(You know I'm legit
(Do it, keep it going...tell 'em about joe)
Talkin' to some joe, hangin' out shootin' shit (right)
Tries to tell me somethin', I play it off legit (that's right)
You wanna hear about the scorpion?
