Divided Loyalties in the Home of the Brave
Why do some immigrant soccer fans root for the United States, while others don't?
In England, it was called the Tebbit Test. The right-wing politician Norman Tebbit suggested in 1990 that immigrants from South Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean would not be truly assimilated until they supported their new country, rather than their respective homelands, in cricket. Thankfully, we have no such test in the United States; in a nation of immigrants, plenty of people feel allegiance to more than one team. But why is the American World Cup squad winning over more and more people with strong links to other nations?
It's such a facet of soccer culture here that even advertisers have addressed it. A World Cup commercial playing right now shows "Luis," who seems to be college-aged, setting up a TV in his garage to watch a game. His father, clad in a green jersey that seems to represent Mexico, casts a baleful glance at his son's arriving guests, decked out in red, white, and blue regalia -- clearly fans of the United States. It's a family version of the United States/Mexico rivalry, one that is undoubtedly playing out in a few households across the country. But rivalries like this one need not be zero-sum.
Back in 2006, U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati had relatively modest goals for the organization, claiming that one aim was to become the "second team" of many Latino soccer fans. "My goal is to figure out for those people that have a great avidity for the El Salvadoran and Mexican national teams is how we become their second team," he said, "so that if we're playing Mexico they may not cheer for us, but when we're playing Argentina, they cheer for us."
The thing is, soccer passion doesn't exactly work that way. Yes, there are many fans who have developed an affection for the American squad that runs a distant second to the loyalty they have for their primary team. Here's Gulati's vision has come true, especially for U.S.-based fans of teams that did not even make the World Cup, such as El Salvador, Panama, and Guatemala.
For them and many others, cheering the American team on is a novelty, because their own homeland has never competed at the same level. Filipino-Americans may cheer for the team partly because American goalkeeper Nick Rimando shares a connection to the island nation, or perhaps simply because it's an opportunity to celebrate the excitement of soccer's biggest tournament?
It's a sentiment I can relate to, given that my mother's family is from Nicaragua, and my father's background is Puerto Rican. Neither team -- yes, Puerto Rico has its own, as in baseball and basketball -- is likely to ever make a World Cup tournament.
Yet today there are also many immigrant fans whose appreciation of American soccer has gone even further. They consider the United States Men's National Team (USMNT) their true team, their first choice to cheer and support.
An important factor is the diversity of the American team, often a product of immigration as well. People who often represent "diversity" themselves can feel comfortable cheering for a team with players of Hispanic, African-American, European, and multiracial backgrounds. The team speaks a mix of different languages, notably including German and Spanish, along with English, giving the squad an international flavor in keeping with the worldwide reach of the sport.
A simple issue of quality is at play as well. Soccer in the United States is coming of age, and there's not really a reason for even dedicated aficionados to cringe when the USMNT takes the field. They're a pretty good team, worth a cheer.
For some, the American squad also promotes a national identity that they support. This includes the popularity of the sport among female players and their acceptance in the national culture as full participants, not just cheerleaders, of the beautiful game.
Finally, as the commercial suggested, there's also the generational issue. Young immigrants in the United States may not feel the ties that bind to a faraway homeland in the same way as their parents do. Coming out of the closet of American fandom is a way of establishing their own distinct identities as sports fans. It's saying, essentially, that they love the game in the way the older generation taught them to care for it and respect it; they just cheer for another team.

Try these five tips for avoiding burnout
Prevention of burnout is the key to avoiding its harmful consequences.
A different look at lipids
The first step in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease is for health-care professionals to get a full understanding of a patient's risk.
Debunking diabetes nutrition, carbohydrate myths
The Grain Foods Foundation explores popular carbohydrate-related myths and assumptions patients with diabetes have likely encountered.
Keep an eye out for depression
Females are more likely to have suicide attempts; males are more likely to have completed suicides.
Softening the blow of a diabetes diagnosis
Help patients direct their energy into positive behaviors to manage their diabetes.
Put on your own oxygen mask first
Clinicians should carve out self-reflection time, even if it starts with just 5 minutes a day of pure silence.
Help children keep asthma at bay
Begin to impart asthma information to young patients and/or their caregivers as early as possible.
End-of-life talks in primary care
Health practitioners need to be prepared, and help prepare patients for end-of-life discussions.
Distorted body image not just a girl problem
Clinicians are seeing more boys with eating disorders and/or complications related to inappropriate diets, supplement use and steroid use.
My patient, myself? Not always!
How should you answer when a patient asks, "What would you do if you were me?"

HoopsHype New Orleans Pelicans rumors
Roster | Salaries | On Twitter | Twitters | Instagram
New Orleans Pelicans VIDEOS
Nakia Hogan: Pelicans swingman Tyreke Evans said he expects to be back from hamstring injury by season opener, if not sooner. Twitter @nakiahogan
Nakia Hogan: Austin Rivers said he has worked on his midrange game this summer. And he has added 12 pounds. Twitter @nakiahogan
Jenny Dial Creech: Dwight Howard: "I like the pieces we have. We are going to miss a lot of those guys (that left)." Twitter @jennydialcreech
Shams Charania: Free agent D.J. Stephens, a freak athlete, has agreed to a training camp deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, league sources tell RealGM. Twitter @ShamsCharania
John Reid: I'm told the Pelicans have hired Duane Brooks as athletic trainer. He replaces Jon Ishop, who was hired by the Detroit Pistons last month. Twitter @JohnReid64
New Orleans Pelicans general manager Dell Demps says guard Tyreke Evans has a strained right hamstring that is expected to require about three to five weeks of rehabilitation. Demps says the injury occurred while Evans was playing in a pickup basketball game away from team headquarters last week. Demps says Evans has returned to New Orleans to work with team medical and training staff and hopes to be cleared to play before the regular season opener on Oct. 28 against the Orlando Magic. Boston Herald
The New Orleans Pelicans announced today that guard Tyreke Evans is expected to miss 3-5 weeks with a strained right hamstring. NBA.com
The New Orleans Pelicans announced today that the team has signed Kevin Jones, Dionte Christmas and Vernon Macklin to their training camp roster. Per team policy, terms of the agreements were not disclosed. NBA.com
John Reid: Eric Gordon:'From five weeks after surgery, I've been doing a lot of lifting. When camp starts, I'll be full go for everything.' Twitter @JohnReid64
John Reid: Eric Gordon: ''I definitely want to be an All-Star. I've came close a couple of times.For the past 3 years, injuries have slowed me down.' Twitter @JohnReid64
The New Orleans Pelicans unveiled new red alternate uniforms. The players will wear the new uniforms four times at home, including the opener on Oct 28. Sportando
What do you think about the emergence of New Orleans Pelicans power forward Anthony Davis? Shaquille O'Neal: He's real. I remember when he got hurt (last season), but he came back strong. His jumper looks nice. His legs look fresh. He runs the court and plays that defense. They are going to be a sleeper team this year. New Orleans Times-Picayune
Negotiations between Limoges and Mohammad Samad Nikkhah Bahrami stalled because New Orleans Pelicans decided to evaluate the signing of the Iranian small-forward, source told Sportando. Sportando
In the middle of the U.S. team's run in Spain, Williams described Davis, now 21, as "the lead dog among alpha dogs," a portrayal not at all hyperbolic. "I couldn't tell you the place or the timing of it all," said Williams, who showed off his own gold medal on Wednesday, "but over the period from Vegas to Madrid, I just watched him watch other people. "He was around a former MVP (Derrick Rose). He watched (James) Harden. People don't know how hard Harden works. I think A.D. was able to watch him work an hour or two hours before practice with his trainer and then come to practice. I think that had an impact on him. The great ones do more. I think he looked at that, and our after- practice workouts when he and I got going, I think that had an impact on him just watching those guys." New Orleans Times-Picayune
It's upon Davis' expanding shoulders the Pelicans' future will rest, his skills as a leader refined and expanded over the last two months. "I try to do that here as well," Davis said of assuming a leadership role, "so it was just kind of an extension of the season. A lot of those guys can lead, as well, are leaders of their team. So I was trying to take some of what they do, how they lead, try to pick it up so I could have it coming back into this season." New Orleans Times-Picayune
For the 10th consecutive season, each singly-affiliated NBA team will have one NBA D-League team to which it may assign its players. The Fort Wayne Mad Ants, the lone independent NBA D-League Team, will be affiliated with the remaining 13 NBA teams (Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Bobcats, Chicago Bulls, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Orleans Pelicans, Portland Trail Blazers, Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards). To accommodate assignments to Fort Wayne, a flexible assignment system will be utilized when an independent NBA team assigns a player at a time when the Mad Ants already have either the maximum of four NBA players on assignment or two assigned players at the position of the NBA player who is being assigned. In either event, the NBA D-League will identify to the assigning NBA team any singly-affiliated NBA D-League team that is willing to accept the assigned player, and the independent NBA team assigning the player will choose a team from among those teams to assign the player. If no singly-affiliated NBA D-League team is willing to accept the assigned player, he will be assigned to one of the non-NBA-owned single affiliate teams pursuant to a lottery. NBA.com

During the landing roll, the airplane's left main landing gear collapsed and the airplane collided with a taxiway sign. While en route to his destination, the battery warning light illuminated, indicating that the electrical system was not charging. The pilot performed the emergency checklist items; however, the alternator would not reset. The pilot then reversed course to return to the departure airport. The pilot turned off all nonessential electrical equipment in an attempt to conserve battery power. The pilot extended the landing gear and 10 degrees of flaps, then turned the master switch off. The pilot later told responding airport police officers that he did not wait for the gear enunciator lights to turn green indicating that the landing gear was down-and-locked before shutting off the electrical master switch. As the airplane approached the airport, the pilot turned the master switch back on, but the battery had fully drained. The pilot said that he was unsure if the gear were down and locked so on final approach he pumped the emergency gear extension handle. During the landing roll, the left main gear collapsed. Post accident examination of the electrical system revealed that the main alternator field wire and power wire terminals were broken due to a vibration of the alternator. The alternator was not secure on its mounting bracket due to fretting on the forward portion of the alternator bracket housing, which had enlarged the holes into an oval shape. When the alternator and bracket were touched, the entire assembly would move.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Freeview HD - your questions answered
@ Rotacyclic RE: Freeview HD test transmissions
Sorry Rota, it's you that is wrong.
Yes, your friend recorded the Freeview HD transmissions a year or 2 ago but these were done on DVB-T. That solution was discarded and they went (with Ofcom's heavy hand) to DVB-T2 instead. As has been accurately reported, you cannot buy any DVB-T2 equipment at the moment, not even a usb tuner.
Also the EBU description in the article is incorrect. The EBU uses a / in the notion so "1080i/25" Still a misleading notation, of course as this can refer to a transmission standard of 50 fields not 25 interlaced frames (yes, there is a n important difference).
Unions demands better conditions for temps
eople who earn >£250 a day and pay the same amount of tax as someone earning minimum wage
Sorry that's just total BS unless said contractor is using some kind of phoney company on the isle of Man or somesuch (these schemes are being shut down now and quite right too).
Contractors' companies pay corp tax on their income and then they pay income tax on the dividend (0% for basic rate and 22.5% on higher rate) meaning the marginal rate is higher than income tax (because corp tax rate is now higher than basic rate income tax) They also pay NI on any salary or benefits in kind they get from their co.
They are not tax dodgers, they typically pay more in tax than someone on permanent salary. Yes this is to compensate for the inherent risk of their position, the travelling to jobs away from home, sick time, long periods between contracts. This is what they accept when they decide to go contract.
If they winge about it, then, just like a permie who's complaining that the other side of the fence has the greener grass then they should simply jump and shut up. Can't have it both ways.

@martin - what you get in a DSLR
You get a much, much, bigger image sensor and this has 2 effects:
1. Much, much less noise in pictures, especially low light ones as the pixel density on the sensor is much lower (each gets moire light)
2. Control over depth of field. high quality pics often have focus on a subject within the frame, portraits are a good example, with the rest of the iamge being a nice smooth blur of soft focus. This is easy to achieve on a DSLR by just opening up the aperture, compacts and bridge cameras weith compact sensors struggle to achieve any meaningful DOF effects. So, for e.g. if you take picture of someone in the crown, the entire crowd is in sharp focus not jsut your subject, the image is flat and boring.
3. Ability to use different lenses for different effects, filters, high quality raw images.
The list goes on but 1 and 2 alone will mean that pics on a base model DSLR with kit lens (like a D40) will easily best those on a high end bridge cam.

Europe loves HD TVs - but not HD broadcasts
@ Mage RE: HD marginally better than upscaled SD
I think you di it a deservice especially as you focus on the vertical resolution.
SD is 720*576i at best. A good few freeview or SKY channels are transmitted as 544*576i.
Compare that to HD which is 1280*720p at worst. That's a near or better than doubling of horizontal resolution, and a near tripling of vertical resolution for movement (because 576i it 288 ilnes every second whilst 720p is 720 lines every second).
It looks dramatically different and is much better when scaled up to 1366*768 than SD is, if only for the fact no deinterlacing has to take place with the compromises that can entail (especially with anything other than film sourced content).
Sure, if you have a 26inch set and sit 10 feet away you may not see the benefit. But, as people buy into HD, they almost always go up a screen size or 2 (I went from 28inch to 40inch and that's common with others I've spoken to). Bigger the screen, the more apparent the benefit of HD whether it be 1080i or 720p
'course the boradacasters are doiong their best to ruin it with crappy bit rates) those planned for freeview are super crap). But there you go.

@ Michael Saunders
Sorry Mike, you will need a new box,
There are _no_ TVs on the market that wil be able to receive this new HD service.
As someone has already posted, it's slated to use the DVB-T2 standard. This is not ratified yet and there are no commericially available DVB-T2 tuners.
So, a new box for you and, perhaps, some tellies with this built in out in a year's time.

No, it's not HD freeview
It picks up the completely different Japanese terrestrial mpeg2 HD broadcasts.
The London trial was h264 and ended months ago in any case.
This thing must be heavily compressing the HD to get 2 hours on a DVD the max bitrate on a DVD is something like 10Mbit (equating to an hour for single sided DVD) meaning this must be encoded at a rate of circa 5Mbit whereas the BBC HD channel on the freeview trial and on satellite used 18Mbit.
Pretty pointless squishing a good HD single up that much?

Racist Reg hacks slammed for 'vitriolic hatred'
@Adrian Jones RE: "Owen Glydwr"
You seem to have missed the point.
" *Owain* Glyndŵr" was the person you describe.
Still no idea why he'd have a beer named after him in Olde Enlgishe language or what "Lechyd da" is supposed to mean.
I didn't find the original article offensive, D-Bevan was way overracting.
The stupid jibes afterwards were just that and made the Reg look stupid and ignorant (as do many of the comments that have followed e.g. : "gutteral language").
OK D.Bevan was over the top but compounding the article with
with further ignorant jibes has made the Reg writer look the stupid one
Who was "Owen Glyndwr"? Why does he have an Olde Englishe titled beer named after him and what on earth is "Lechyd da" supposed to mean?
I suppose the basis of most predjudice is ignorance.
Cymru am byth.

Between Bath and Glastonbury, the picturesque Somerset village of Cheddar has gained fame over the years from production of the eponymously named cheese, and a stunning set of caves and fissures running into the Mendip hills known as the Cheddar Gorge. Those enjoying a holiday home stay in the Cheddar area are well placed for visiting both the attractions local to Cheddar, and those of the wider Somerset area.

There is a fluid level plug in the transmission case. It may be hidden behind some AIR ducting. With the transmission warm and in park and the engine running remove the plug, some fluid should run out. If the fluid is low add fluid by removing the vent can a fill until fluid comes out the fluid level plug hole.

Where do you get budget numbers? How do you set a budget and organize it? What are some standard ways to measure your budget? There are several approaches you can take to create your budget. Examples of these approaches may include basing your budget on:
• Percent of projected gross sales.
• Percent of past gross sales.
• Per unit sales.
• Seasonal allocation.
• Projected cash flow.
Select a budget methodology that will work best for your business. You may want to make this choice based on how you track your sales and revenues, or based on industry standards. Don't forget your fundamentals which say that budget is an educated guess and a management tool. Keep the budget process in perspective. You are making a series of educated guesses. If it makes you feel better, remind your audience how you came up with your projections in your marketing plan. For this same reason, it is important to review your budget throughout the year and make adjustments when necessary.
One of the best ways to create your budget may be to build your projections on the previous year's performance. If you have this information, the foundation is in place. Look at trends and expectations in each area and modify these numbers based on your expectations for the upcoming year. Look at industry performance and trends and take those factors into consideration. Once you get to the bottom line, ask yourself if it is realistic, or if you need to go back and modify revenues or expenses to more closely capture what you expect to happen in the year ahead.

Elin Kling for Marciano by Guess: See the Swedish Street Style Star's Killer Collaboration, Coming to Australia November
Shop Our Favourites from the Elin Kling For Marciano Line
When we sat down for a cup of tea with Swedish street style star/blogger/fashion editor Elin Kling during fashion week back in May, we couldn't have been more impressed with her down-to-earth attitude, happy optimism (even in the face of lost luggage) and her dedication to the fashion game. GUESS' CEO and creative director Paul Marciano obviously felt the same way, saying of Elin "She is feminine, she is sexy, she is super confident and I really love how she perceived the brand. It isn't just that she is a blogger — what drove me first was her. It was Elin." Reason enough then for the global brand to ask Ms Kling to design the first collaborative collection for the more fashion-forward extension label for GUESS, GUESS by Marciano. The collection includes denim, leather and accessories priced from $59 for a tank to $279 for an embroidered dress — all signature Kling to us; understated, modern and unexpectedly sexy. You can see it IRL in the Pitt St, Sydney GUESS store and online. We've rouneded up our five favourites for your perusing pleasure.

SELBY dedicated his Crucible success to his late father after storming back from 10-5 behind to seal a 18-14 victory.
ROCKET Ronnie O'Sullivan beat Barry Hawkins 17-7 in their semi-final at the Crucible to give the reigning champion a day off ahead of the final
HENDRY said if O'Sullivan is taken out of the equation Neil Robertson is currently the best player in the world.
THE 2005 world champion reckons the Rocket is the best player in the world and best of his generation.
THE five-time champion reached the quarter-finals after edging past Joe Perry 13-11, and he believes time sharing psychologist Dr Steve Peters with the potential Premier League champions nearly ended his dream of a third consecutive championship in Sheffield.
AS O'Sullivan, 38, kicks off his defence the five-time champ believes he is defying Father Time by currently playing the best snooker of his life.
CLOSE friends McManus and Higgins will go head to head in the World Championships following yesterday's live draw in London.
THE Rocket continues to blow away all opposition and is two away from matching Scottish snooker star Stephen Hendry's record.
THE Scottish world number three suffered a comprehensive defeat to the impressive Fu despite taking the lead in both of the opening frames at the Wyldecrest Parks Players Championship.
THE SNOOKER star believes he's in the form of his life as he aims for his third successive triumph in Sheffield.
THE Rocket saved the best for last in the final at the Newport Centre, producing a perfect break in the final frame to land the £60,000 first prize and an extra £2000 for the highest break.
THE Rocket took a fifth Masters title at London's Alexandra Palace on Sunday and his friend and biggest fan, Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood, says he has staying power.
THE Rocket was just too good for defending champ Mark Selby and converted a 7-1 interval lead into a 10-4 victory at Alexandra Palace last night.
THE Rocket blew Ricky Walden away in a 6-0 hammering that lasted less than an hour and included a run of 556 points without reply.
THE Rocket kicked off his quest for a fifth Masters crown with a 6-1 first-round win over Milkins at London's Alexandra Palace.
HENDRY was the last snooker player to be shortlisted for the gong in 1990 when former Rangers and England international Paul Gascoigne won the coveted award.
REIGNING World Champion O'Sullivan proved to be on a different level from Scottish amateur Rhys Clark in his comfortable 6-0 win in York.
BARRY HAWKINS had to fight hard for his victory over Zhang Anda, as did Scot Graeme Dott, while Ali Carter and world champion O'Sullivan found the going good in York.
The 19-year-old will tackle 'The Rocket' at the York Barbican on Saturday, November 30
THE 19-year-old Scot can't wait to take on the reigning world champion in the forthcoming UK Championships and is ready to take whatever chances come his way.
THE seven-time World Champion believes Ronnie 'The Rocket' is the only show in town and "gives people something different" in his matches.
THE reigning world champion has revealed how he used to go on benders between tournaments and was warned about his drug use.
THE former world No.1 claimed that Stephen Lee was not the only cheat and has been told by World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn to back up his allegations.
DESPITE being out of snooker for nearly a year, the 37-year-old triumphed over Barry Hawkins in an 18-12 win.
WATCH the moment the match between Judd Trump and Ronnie O'Sullivan at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield was stopped momentarily after someone in the audience broke wind.
DEFENDING world champion shows his mettle by coming from behind to establish three-frame lead ahead of today's decisive sessions in Sheffield.
THE defending champion fired breaks of 76, 113 and 100 to secure a 5-3 advantage over the first-time finalist ahead of this evening's session.
THE snooker ace admitted that he ran into financial strain during his 12-month absence from the sport.
THE potty potter again threatened to retire saying he doesn't want to be a celebrity or on the telly and would be happy fitting out homes for a living.
THE Rocket's dominant form has threatened to turn the world crown event into a one-horse race.
