NCIS Review: Teddy and Rabbitby Douglas Wolfe at . Comments
Just when you think the writers of NCIS couldn't get any better than their last two episodes, they bring us "Hit and Run, and knock every aspect of the hour out of the park.
This episode was poignant and touching, as it revealed some of Abby's sad back story in a memory from what she considered her first "case."
This episode centered around a dead Lance Corporal and his girlfriend, both of whom were victims of a scam artist that wanted their money for his Ponzi scheme.
His attempt to pass off the murders as a car accident fell apart once Ducky observed some inconsistencies with some blood spatter and airbag deployment. Abby noticed the cracked windshield and the air freshener that hung from the rear view mirror - and this mirrored a similar cracked windshield and air freshener she had seen as a child, thereby bringing back a host of recollections that effectively threw her off of her game.
Ziva's grief over her father seemed to be gone. I'm glad the writers had Tony and McGee talk about that, rather than just having her continue on as if nothing had happened - that would have seemed too forced. Some time has passed, and Ziva's had her time in Israel, which kind of makes you wonder what else she did while she was there. Perhaps there's a story in the making.
Tony, of course, was back to his old comic self. It might have been good to have seen the scene where he made a comment about the deputy director's hair - rather than just talk with McGee about it. From that conversation ,we can gather that the deputy director is still the unsure and fairly meek guy he portrayed in "Shiva." But is he really?
The star of this show was obviously Abby. What an amazing character: we got to see that she had always been a highly analytical and caring person, looking out for those who were hurting. You had to admire the portrayal of her brilliance in fashioning a crude sort of magnifier with the plastic bottle and water.
In many ways her perceived failure to help Ricki with her father and grandfather seemed to have help form her determination to find and do good for others, no matter what. It seemed that the obstinate acrimony between the parents of the dead couple in this episode mirrored the intractable anger between Ricki's father and grandfather. The twin dynamics of those relationships were too much, serving to confirm for her the uselessness of her efforts as seen by this dialogue:
Abby: Have the bad things been outweighing the good things all these years and I just ever noticed?
McGee: What do you mean?
Abby: All I ever wanted was to help people with the truth. And I've done that, but then bad still won sometimes. And I just want to file it away, like it never happened so I can go back to being happy.
McGee: There's nothing wrong with that.
Abby: Yes there is McGee because sometimes the Cutwrights and the Dunns, they just keep fighting no matter what the truth is. And sometimes Ricki never gets to see her grandpa again. If the bad outweighs the good then that means that I'm not enough.
McGee: Abby listen to me...
Abby: And if I'm not enough, McGee, then why even try? | permalink
I was amazed at the subtle and careful scene between Gibbs and Abby at the end. Gibbs made exactly the right move when he saw her sitting on the floor, trying to compose apology notes: rather than stand and talk with her, he got right down beside her, becoming the caring father she needed at that moment.
We had seen her handle that little cloth heart throughout the episode; hearing her talk about it being from the teddy bear she had tried to give back to Ricki was heart wrenching. And there was Gibbs. Silent, almost unemotional Gibbs... who happened to still carry around a fortune from a fortune cookie that Abby gave him on the first day they met. A fortune she had given him because she wanted it to be about him, not her.
These last three episodes have set the bar high for the writers of NCIS: it's hard to imagine how they can top them. We haven't seen Palmer for a while; we still have the story of ex-Mossad deputy director Ilan Bodnar to deal with and director Vance isn't back yet, so there's still lots of material with which to work.
Before opening this up for your views and comments, I'll leave you with this heartwarming exchange between Abby and Gibbs (there are more NCIS quotes for you to check out too):
Gibbs: You do something good now, you're not always around to see the difference it makes later.
Abby: I don't know Gibbs.
Gibbs: Abs, first day we met.
Abby: It was a Thursday, seventy degrees, mostly sunny. What about it?
Gibbs: What did you give me?
Abby: I had Chinese food, and I gave you the fortune from my cookie.
Gibbs: Because?
Abby: Because I wanted it to be about you.
Abby: The fortune. You kept it.
Gibbs: The things you do mean something to people. | permalink
What are your thoughts? We always knew that at heart Abby was an amazing woman - did you foresee an episode as touching as this?

Casting nailed it when they picked Brighton Sharpino to play young Abby. Good thing they did as she pretty much carried the NCIS brand by herself this week. After 10 years, "our" Abby should be past her overly sensitive, childish years by now. NOT Pauley Perrette's fault! The writers seem to have taken a holiday with this episode. They reverted to the old, clownish Tony also. And, made McGee - an MIT BioEngineering grad - look like an idiot being unable to run a simple GC Mass Spec. (I come from 7 years in a lab and the tekkies can run it). We have all been spoiled by the superb writing in S10. So they stumbled this week. There's always next week!
Your half right half wrong Your right NCIS would not be called in for these The United States Marine Corps Criminal Investigation Division would be called in
Loved Abby and the concern for her by the team. I thought the episode otherwise weak. The crimes were stacked very neatly, the parents were almost comic book characters in their old anger/love issues and would the cousin 'really' just leave the murder weapon in his trash? Nevertheless, I watched and enjoyed and felt for Abby and the team as they interacted with her. And, I'm stoked for a McGee and Abby ep next week.
@MCAL...here's what I'm saying. 1) NCIS does not investigate routine traffic accidents even if they involve military personnel.They investigate CRIMES (as John noted).
2) Local LEO's would have been at the scene first.They would NOT have had a Ducky with them to question the blood spatter pattern.They would have marked it down as a traffic accident and closed it.
3) NCIS would, thus, never have even been at the scene to discover later that it involved a crime.
It was a just some writer's clumsy attempt to get NCIS involved when,in real life they would never have been there in the first place.There are a million ways NCIS can get involved in an investigation. This wasn't one of them.
What has been bothering NCIS fans for many years is not only how the writers have been treated BUT that the non-NCIS fans call them a family which they are not and never have been that what I was saying the wirters have trun NCIS into a sictom instead of the number ONE drama it use to be.
??? Are you replying to John G? I think he just said the crime fit with NCIS. Unless, I am reading it wrong, John?
@Michael I have no idea what you are talking about. There was a murder and there was a crime, two in fact. A murder and a Ponzi Scheme. Unless, I am mistaken and the episode was nothing but a dream.
Thank you. My point exactly. They investigate crimes. There's no way they would be called out to investigate every auto accident nationwide involving on or off duty Navy/Marine personnel. NCIS would never have been called out to discover a crime since there was no evidence of a crime having been committed.
However, that's actually the least of my concerns with this episode.
The lame writing/story was the main problem. I want Abby to be the cool, confident, goth-leaning scientist she used to be...not the ditzy, hairbow-wearing 8 year old in knee socks she's become.
NCIS investigates crimes connected to active duty Navy and Marine personnel and their families. This includes reservists who have been called up to active duty. Crimes involving inactive Marines like the two Dads in this episode don't qualify... unless they also involve active duty personnel, like the Lance Corporal son.
And, Abby has never totally failed the team for an entire episode -- but she has often been distracted and not given the case the serious attention it has deserved, whether she's taking hundreds of dolls apart for no good reason or figuring out if the crop circles were made by aliens (or whatever scifi junk experiments she was doing, with McGee gathering samples for her, thus taking both of them off the case Gibbs needed them on). So, I think you can justifiably criticize NCIS for playing up the character's "lovable" eccentricities (Tony the clown, McGee the geek, Ziva's English, Abby and her coffin, Gibbs and his rules, Ducky and his stories, etc.) -- and question whether this time they went to far with Abby; but I do think this was a mid-life crisis for the character, at least.

Disturbing Behavior is a 1998 sci-fi thriller directed by X-Files veteran David Nutter that can best be described as The Stepford Wives for the Scream generation.The film follows Steve (James Marsden), a high school senior who has just moved to the town of Cradle Bay, Washington with his family. Here, he befriends three outcasts — stoners Gavin (Nick Stahl) and UV, and "bad girl" Rachel (Katie Holmes). Gavin has long been suspicious about the "Blue Ribbons," a group of preppy, highly intelligent, snobbish douchebags who are considered the school's "cream of the crop" and take part in a program led by the school's psychologist Dr. Caldicott. The four students find out that the Blue Ribbons are far more sinister than they let up on, and may in fact be brainwashed... and that they are next.The film was practically shredded in the editing room, having ten scenes cut (adding up to nearly twenty minutes — the final cut is just 84 minutes long) and a different ending put in by the studio over the objections of David Nutter. Among the scenes cut include numerous story and character development scenes whose absence the film greatly suffers for, which perhaps explains the film's tepid reception by critics and at the box office. The Sci Fi Channel's edited-for-TV version of the movie often reinstates the deleted scenes (making it something of an unofficial director's cut), but leaves the theatrical ending.

About Governance at RMIT
Governance processes ensure: that there are defined rights and responsibilities; that there is clarity about who can make decisions and any constraints on those decisions and that information on these governance processes is accessible. These governance processes are defined in:
- Delegations of authority that detail the staffing, financial and legal matters that Council has delegated to the Vice-Chancellor
- RMIT policies which are university wide. They are governing principles that mandate or constrain actions to help ensure compliance, enhance the University's mission or reduce institutional risk, the principles may be expressed in statutes, regulations or rules as well as in policies and procedures
- Planning and budgeting cycle which illustrates the governance and management responsibilities in the development of the strategic and business plans and the annual budget.

Washington, DC (SportsNetwork.com) - The Washington Nationals averted arbitration with Stephen Strasburg by agreeing to terms with the ace pitcher on an undisclosed contract.
Strasburg is in his first season as an arbitration-eligible player after the four-year, $15.1 million major league deal the 2009 No. 1 overall draft pick signed to begin his professional career expired at the conclusion of the 2013 campaign.
The hard-throwing right-hander went just 8-9 this past season, but posted a solid 3.00 earned run average in 30 starts and registered 191 strikeouts in 183 innings. Strasburg earned a spot on the National League All-Star squad the previous year, his first full season since returning from Tommy John surgery, and finished 15-6 with a 3.16 ERA and 197 strikeouts while helping the Nationals to an NL East title.
Strasburg underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow in October, but is expected to be ready when Washington begins spring training next month.

SitkaRains, I'm so glad that you think it was awesome. Thank you for letting me know. :-)
Well I didn't make it under an hour but it was an awesome puzzle
Thank you so very much, chipchip! :-)
Mandy, I think I created this one after you and I had discussed how organized we both are. Now I'm wondering what the heck got into me!
OOOO, Wendy I so want to do this.... !!!! Its wonderfully and complexly randomly organized!!! I'll have to wait until I have some unbroken time to solve it... hopefully over the next few days.
Pat, it's one of those puzzles where a piece could fit in too many different places but then really couldn't. LOL
And good for you for completing this in less than an hour. :-)
I think it's really interesting that you looked at this puzzle and thought that people would think it looks easy! It looked fun, and bright, and fascinating, and lovely, but "easy"? LOL!
Great puzzle, Wendy--and I managed (just barely) to keep it under an hour! :-)))
*LOL, I don't think this one is going to be as easy as it may look.

Vehicles with Incentives & Rebates
Infiniti built the 2013 QX56 SUV to take on such giants as the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator. But many of its owners compare it equally with more expensive vehicles such as Land Rover's Range Rover and the Lexus LX. Despite a move toward smaller, more fuel-efficient SUVS, Infiniti knows there will always be a large segment of population that needs seating for eight and an ability to pull a luxury powerboat or horse trailer up to 8,500 pounds. But, what the QX really offers its owners is a rolling showcase for Infiniti's unique take on interior design and its impressive arsenal of technological delights.

Washington Man Pleads Guilty to Unlawfully Possessing a Firearm
COEUR D'ALENE – Anthony V. Bird, 30, of the Spokane valley, pleaded guilty yesterday in United States District Court in Coeur d'Alene to unlawfully possessing a firearm, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced.
Bird admitted in open court yesterday that on January 12, 2012, he sold a .45 caliber Glock pistol to another person. Bird was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to his 1999 conviction for first degree robbery in Spokane, Washington, a felony offense punishable by a term of imprisonment exceeding one year. The government is seeking forfeiture of the firearm.
The charge is punishable by up to ten years in prison, a maximum fine of $250,000, and up to three years supervised release.
Sentencing is set for September 5, 2012, before U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill at the federal courthouse in Coeur d'Alene.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives with assistance from the North Idaho Violent Crime Task Force (NIVCTF). NIVCTF members include the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Idaho State Police, Kootenai County Sheriff's Office, Shoshone County Sheriff's Office, Bonner County Sheriff's Office, Coeur d'Alene Police Department, Post Falls Police Department, and the Coeur d'Alene Tribal Police Department. The NIVCTF investigates a myriad of violent crimes, including armed robbery, kidnapping, felonious assault and drug trafficking.
The case was prosecuted as part of Idaho's Project Safe Neighborhoods Program, which seeks to reduce gun violence in Idaho.
Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) is a collaborative effort by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and communities to prevent and deter gun violence.

Restraining Order
When my lifelong friend was diagnosed with breast cancer, I wanted to know more about it and began to read about its many different causes and treatments. This led me to do a series of monoprints depicting the monumental female figure. These powerful women represented the mothers, aunts, sisters and friends who either have fought and lost or who have won a fight with cancer.
Restraining Order relates to the effects of both physical and emotional repression and suppression on the cell structure. I see the contrast between the women in my life who have survived and those who have not. I have learned a great deal from these women about life choices and destinies and hope that if I were faced with the same fate, I would have the courage and spirit to endure the trials and conquer the battle.

REMICADE® is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms, inducing and maintaining clinical remission and mucosal healing, and eliminating corticosteroid use in adult patients with moderately to severely active UC who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy.
Serious and sometimes fatal side effects have been reported with REMICADE®. Infections due to bacterial, mycobacterial, invasive fungal, viral, or other opportunistic pathogens (e.g., TB, histoplasmosis) have been reported. Lymphoma, including cases of fatal hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL), and other malignancies have been reported, including in children and young adult patients. Due to the risk of HSTCL, carefully assess the risk/benefit especially if the patient has Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, is male, and is receiving azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine treatment. REMICADE® is contraindicated in patients with severe hypersensitivity reactions to REMICADE® and certain patients with congestive heart failure. Other serious side effects reported include melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma, hepatitis B reactivation, hepatotoxicity, hematological events, hypersensitivity, neurological events, and lupus-like syndrome. Please see related and other Important Safety Information.

Welcome to my Website:
For several years I have wanted to have a personal website where I could post family history information, family stories, status of the MacFarlane DNA genealogy project, results of current family history research, etc. With the help of my grandson, Steven, this is now a reality.
On the Blog page I hope interested family members will contribute results of their own research, as well as insights gained from other's research. On the Photo page I plan to include current as well as historic photos to share with family members. Anyone with historic photos that they wish to share can email copies to me and I will be happy to post them. My hope is that all of us cousins can have copies of the photos that are meaningful to each.
This site is a work in progress. I intend to modify it as needs arise and as I deem necessary to further communicate about our incredible ancestors.

- 0Sep 12, '12 by SentimentalGeek, ADN, RNJust looking for any pieces of advice to make concept maps click for me. I've gotten decent grades (only missing a point or two here and there) on the care plans I've turned in, which are just written out in ADPIE format, but for the life of me can't figure out the best way to do a concept map. Maybe I don't think visually so much as verbally...but anyway.
Does the concept map basically include the same info as a care plan, just presented in a diagram type way? So I'd put the nursing diagnosis in the middle with different goals and interventions branching out? Or would I put the patient's main reason for needing care in the middle and go from there? It's annoying me that I'm getting so stuck on something that seems like it should be simple.
- 1Sep 12, '12 by DawnJI'm new to this as well, but have gotten good marks on my concept maps. We put the main diagnosis or reason for visit in the center, then nursing diagnosis in branching boxes. Off the nursing diagnosis comes interventions and then goals off that.
- 0Sep 12, '12 by SentimentalGeek, ADN, RNThat's helpful, thank you!
- 1Sep 13, '12 by elementguy13IMHO concept maps seem very unprofessional. And correct me if I am wrong, will never be used in the real world. Its a mess of boxes and circles.. it felt so unorganized. The only benefit of a concept map to me is that it can have more than one diagnosis versus having separate care plans for each diagnosis. As a nurse I would NOT want to look at a concept map that another nurse wrote. Its a waste of time deciphering it.
- 1Sep 13, '12 by IndyElmerWhether or not it's "mess of boxes & circles" depends on how your instructor requires you to do the concept map. The ones required by my instructors are not as crazy looking as some that I've seen. Ours have the reason for visit/care in the center, then nursing diagnosis in surrounding boxes. As part of the nursing diagnosis box, we have to include all that stuff that other instructors have you put in even more boxes/circles within the SAME diagnosis box (and in a particular order). The concept maps as we're required to do them, don't seem at all like the visual "big picture" aid that they were intended (and often fail) to be for other students/programs.
- 1Sep 13, '12 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorI've seen some crazy looking care maps....yes they have the same information. I don't like them because they appear disorganized to my OCD anal retentive brain.

- 0Sep 14, '12 by SentimentalGeek, ADN, RNQuote from elementguy13This is exactly how I feel. My brain doesn't work this way (OCD and anal-retentive very much describes my brain too!) and I'd never do this in real life - it seems like such a mess and I'm spending so much time trying to figure out how to do it that I could have easily just written 5 care plans by now. I'd never want anyone to base care on a concept map I have done or vice versa, it seems like there is way too much potential for misunderstanding or misreading when there are dozens of arrows pointing in every direction. And it seems like my instructor feels "the messier the better". I suppose if certain people's minds work that way then it's probably helpful for them, but it's just not for me. *Gives concept maps the evil eye*IMHO concept maps seem very unprofessional. And correct me if I am wrong, will never be used in the real world. Its a mess of boxes and circles.. it felt so unorganized.

Thank you so much for the link Esme12, that looks like it will help a lot.
- 2Sep 14, '12 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNThey are very helpful for some brains. I had my kid (IQ >140, brilliant at science and math, could explain anything to anyone, but couldn't write a comprehensive paragraph to save his soul) eval'd by a learning specialist, and she taught him how to do concept mapping and said MIT is full of kids like him. Now he's a nuclear engineer. Really.
- 3Sep 14, '12 by llg GuideThe concept maps that you do as a student are not meant to be used at the bedside -- just like the 15 page care plans that my generation had to do in school have never been considered practical for bedside use. Those types of concept maps (and/or care plans) are used to help students improve their thinking processes -- not to help experienced nurses give care on a daily basis. Concept maps help students to see (literally "see") how different pieces of the puzzle fit together when everything is not linear. Traditional care plans force everything into a linear format that doesn't always reflect reality and may involve a lot of duplication as details overlap and involve multiple relationships. Care maps seem "messier" because they better reflect real-world conditions -- that are rarely need and tidy.
Concept maps can be very useful in the real world when you are designing and/or evaluating programs -- mapping out how multiple services will be delivered to patients, how multiple topics will be delivered within an educational program, etc. Nurses responsible for such things "sketch out" their ideas all the time.
- 0Sep 14, '12 by SentimentalGeek, ADN, RNThanks for those comments explaining them a bit more in depth. Your descriptions and reasoning make sense to me and just might be what I have needed to hear all along to make it click. We haven't had them explained that way (or any way, really). I find it difficult to do things just for the sake of doing them, especially if I don't feel like I'm actually gaining anything from it.
The story about your son is interesting, GrnTea. Not trying to toot my own horn, but I have always scored highly on standardized exams and spent most of my pre-college years in "gifted" programs at school. I scored in the 99th percentile on my ATI critical thinking test. Not being able to make this make sense to me has been driving me bonkers. Funny how different little things can still trip people up.

Claims of vote buying and perceived threats of violence have soured the election which will be resolved by an Asian Football Confederation vote.
Both the executive committee seat and presidency of the AFC will be at stake when 46 member nations choose between 13-year incumbent and AFC chiefMohamed bin Hammam of Qatar and his challenger Sheik Salman Bin Ebrahimal-Khalifa of Bahrain - former friends who have become bitter rivals.
The lead-up to the vote has involved politics at its most ruthless and open, prompting a formal interjection by Fifa president Sepp Blatter and exposing the bitter factional divisions within the vast Asian confederation, which stretches from the Arab states in the west, across to Japan in the east and down to Australia in the south.
The winner of the poll on May 8 - coincidentally Hammam's 60th birthday - will get the seat on Fifa's executive committee.
Bin Hammam upped the stakes by saying he will also quit from his seven-year hold on the AFC presidency if he loses the Fifa vote next Friday.
Risky business
Bin Hammam had pushed for the AFC and Fifa jobs to be more closely linked.
He had campaigned for the AFC president to automatically be appointed as a vice president of Fifa's executive committee.
He said that was at the urging of Fifa, to bring Asia in line with the other continental confederations.
Currently bin Hammam is a member of the executive committee, sitting belowSouth Korean Chung Mong-joon, who is a Fifa vice-president, although the Qatari outranks the Korean within the AFC.
The consequent rivalry between bin Hammam and Chung was thought to be thesource of the heat in this election campaign.
Hammam believes Hyundai scion Chung is orchestrating Salman's election campaign, with the Bahraini considered as a proxy for the east Asian lobby in the longstanding divide between the two sides of the giant confederation.
"This man (Salman) used to be a very close ally of mine,'' Bin Hammam said.
"I am not saying that this is a reason for him not to contest the election, but the gentleman himself had no ambition in that way, so the idea is that someone has pushed him and forced him to go that way.''
The vote next week is the most public skirmish in a decades-long rivalry between Bin Hammam and Chung, with football's highest office as the prize.
"Chung and myself have never enjoyed a good relationship in the 20 years or so since I came to the AFC,'' Bin Hammam said.
"The second thing is that Chung is trying to contest for Fifa presidency ... and he thinks that I am not going to support him, which is absolutely right.
"There is no way I am going to support him. This man knows nothing about football."
'Heads will roll'
The enmity between the AFC chief and Korean officialdom was made plain when bin Hammam said in a Qatari TV interview early in the campaign that he would cut the head off Korean FA president Cho Chung-yeon.
While bin Hammam said this was merely an Arabic metaphor similar to the English saying "heads will roll", that was not enough to placate the Korean Football Association, which referred the comment to Fifa's ethics committee.
However, that semantic spat was a sideshow to more serious accusations of vote buying on behalf of Salman.
Bin Hammam said the Olympic Council of Asia was offering financial inducements in the form of grants to those nations who cast their vote for Salman.
Hammam made the comments in an interview for Australia's SBS television network, whose football analyst Les Murray - a member of Fifa's ethics panel - officially reported the accusation, saying he had uncovered evidence to support's Hammam's allegation.
The OCA responded by threatening legal action, while Salman also refuted the claims.
Salman, a member of Bahrain's ruling royal family, was bullish about his chances of unseating Hammam next week.
Apart from support in the east, he is thought to have pulled the support of the other sheiks in the west away from bin Hammam.
"I have heard him say a couple of times that he has 30 votes, 35 votes, God knows how many," Salman said of his rival.
"I don't think his numbers are accurate. You can't fool people. People have their contacts.
People know who is supporting Bin Hammam and people know who is supporting me.
"Let's just say I have a bigger chance than him."
Blatter may well have his fingers in his ears until this crisis is over [GALLO/GETTY]
Blatter embarrassed
So unseemly has the election campaign become, that Blatter had stepped into demand both candidates fight fair.
"Football is a universal sport based on the fundamental principles of discipline and respect for opponents," Blatter said.
"These values must be applied not only on the field of play, but also in the administration and governance of football, particularly in the area of sports politics.
"This includes elections to the governing bodies of football.''
Bin Hammam was a strong backer of Blatter's when his Fifa presidency waschallenged in 2002. Chung was in the other camp.
Yet bin Hammam's bid for re-election to the executive board had a setback when Fifa restored the votes of five Asian nations which had previously been told they were ineligible to participate in the poll.
Afghanistan, Laos, East Timor and Mongolia were initially told by the AFC that their non-participation in regional competitions over the past two years had rendered them ineligible, but Fifa reversed that ruling.
Fifa also reinstated Kuwait, which had been told by the AFC that it would not be counted due to non-recognition of that country's interim committee running football.
Bin Hammam, who is credited with developing Asian football and its administrators at a grassroots, professional and national level, denied he had been trying to block certain votes in the fear they would be cast for Salman.
Kuwait is home to the Olympic Council of Asia, which denied offering inducements to national administrators to elect Salman and offered to open its books for Fifa to audit.
But OCA director general Husain Al-Musallam made it clear whom he would support, if it came to a personal choice.
"We don't take stands officially to support Salman because we're not voting members," Al-Musallam said.
"But if you ask for my opinion, I will say change is good. We see the situation, it's chaos.
"Asia needs a leader to unite Asia.
"In sporting fairness, though, we will congratulate the winner."

Lasell College Accreditations
Lasell College is Accredited by:
The New England Association of Schools and Colleges
The Commission of Accreditation of Athletic Training Education
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education
Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs
Massachusetts Board of Higher Education (Criminal Justice program)
The New England Association of Schools and Colleges
The New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) is a non-governmental, nationally recognized organization whose affiliated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate institutions offering post-graduate instruction.
Accreditation of an institution by the New England Association indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment on institutional quality periodically applied through a peer group review process.
An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.
Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of the quality of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.
Inquires regarding the status of an institution's accreditation by the New England Association should be directed to the administrative staff of the school or college. Individuals may also contact the Association:
Commission on Institutions of Higher Education
New England Association of Schools and Colleges
208 Burlington Road
Bedford, MA 01730
(781) 271-0022
The Commission of Accreditation of Athletic Training Education
The purpose of the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) is to develop, maintain, and promote appropriate minimum standards of quality of entry level Athletic Training education programs. CAATE is sponsored by The American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine, and the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA).
The Standards for the Accreditation of Entry Level Educational Programs for the Athletic Trainer (Standards) are used to prepare entry-level athletic trainers. It is each institution's responsibility to demonstrate compliance with these Standards in order to obtain and maintain recognition as a CAATE-accredited Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP).
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education
Accreditation is a process to ensure that education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality. Accrediting agencies, which are private educational associations of regional or national scope, develop evaluation criteria and conduct peer evaluations to assess whether or not those criteria are met. Institutions and/or programs that request an agency's evaluation and that meet an agency's criteria are then "accredited" by that agency.
The Board of Higher Education in Massachusetts does not accredit programs or institutions. Accreditation of institutions is done by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. In addition, there are specialized accrediting bodies for certain programs of study to ensure that programs meet necessary quality standards.
Program approval is the process through which a program or sponsoring organization may receive state approval. The Commissioner of Education has the statutory authority to approve programs that prepare candidates for educator licensure in Massachusetts. Such programs may be offered by public and private higher education institutions, whether or not they also lead to degrees, and other sponsoring organizations.
The fundamental purpose of state approval of educator preparation programs is to assure the public that teachers and other educators who complete these programs in Massachusetts are prepared to educate our PreK-12 students according to the learning standards in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks.
Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs
The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) is a programmatic postsecondary accrediting agency recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and carries out its accrediting activities in cooperation with 19 review committees (Committees on Accreditation). CAAHEP currently accredits over 2100 entry level education programs in 23 health science professions.
