Samui's beachy pleasure pad for romancing couples and fun-loving families
enjoying a private romantic dinner on the white sandy beach and visiting the Spavilion for some glorious pampering.
While the crowds head to Chaweng beach, the more
enlightened few make their way to Lamai on Koh Samui's east coast.
This bright white sandy spot offers a quieter stretch of beach
action and the luxurious confines of Pavilion Samui Boutique
Resort. With cotton-wool caring service, sleek contemporary style
and all the high-end facilities you could hope for, this refined
resort brings the Thailand of today and yesterday seamlessly
together. Dark polished woods, crisp white linens, splashes of
vibrant colour and carefully placed mood lighting are common
throughout the 89 rooms, suites and pool villas. Jacuzzi spa areas,
balconies and plunge pools are just some of the spoiling luxuries
in the rooms and suites, with villas raising the bar even higher
with outdoor decking areas and pools fitted with counter-current
technology. The view from the Beach Front Grand Pool Villa's
private infinity-edge pool is hard to beat but you might want to
check out the new two and three-bedroom pool residences before
finalising your booking. Built across two storeys, their clever
cutting-edge design and direct beach access is something special.
Making the most of its setting, Pavilion Samui Boutique's Patio
Restaurant, poolside restaurant and Look-out Bar all face the
perfect seascape. Here, there are international, Italian and Thai

Marquette names new women's basketball coach
For the second time in less than a month, Marquette University has a new basketball coach.
Carolyn Kieger was named to replace Terri Mitchell as the women's coach Thursday.
Like new men's coach Steve Wojciechowski, Kieger is a former college point guard, but she was a star at Marquette from 2003-2006.
"Marquette basketball is going to new places. I know it. I'm confident of it. After speaking with coach Wojciechowski yesterday, and just meeting with the girls already, this is a place that's going to win championships. There's no reason that we can't," Kieger said.

* Brent set for longest losing streak since Oct 2012
* Coming up: weekly U.S. API inventory data at 2030 GMT
(Updates prices, changes byline, dateline, pvs LONDON)
NEW YORK, July 8 (Reuters) - Brent crude fell for its seventh straight session, hitting a one-month low below $110 a barrel on Tuesday on improved prospects for a rise in Libyan oil exports and easing fears of supply disruption in Iraq.
The benchmark is headed for its longest losing streak since October 2012, and has shed more than 5 percent since the Iraq crisis drove prices to a nine-month high of $115.71 in June.
Libya's El Sharara oilfield has resumed operations and will increase output gradually, a spokesman for state-run National Oil Corp (NOC) said, which may free up more oil for export after a port deal was agreed with rebels last week.
"It's the same factors that have been dragging Brent lower for the last sessions; it's liquidation selling by the longs who piled in on the move to the 9-1/2-month high," said Gene McGillian, an analyst with Tradition Energy in Stamford, Illinois.
Brent crude for August delivery fell 98 cents to $109.26 a barrel by 11:14 a.m. EDT (1514 GMT).
The U.S. benchmark slipped 8 cents to $103.45 in choppy trading and was on course for its eighth straight day of declines.
The spread between the two benchmarks <CL-LCO1=R> narrowed by nearly $1 to $5.81.
Olivier Jakob, an analyst at Petromatrix in Zug, Switzerland, said traders see less risk Islamist militants in Iraq will advance beyond the edge of Baghdad and disrupt oil flow in the country's south.
"The oil fields in the south are not in direct danger, and the oil fields in the north and Kurdistan are also not in danger. So for now, it is difficult to see any strong disruptions to exports," Jakob said.
Iraq's new parliament has also brought forward the date of its next session to July 13 after criticism it had not responded quickly enough to the crisis in the country, with the top three government positions not yet being nominated.
The Brent future contracts for delivery in September moved to a small premium over contracts for delivery next month, a condition known as "contango," which traders said was an indication of weak demand.
In Libya, preparations are under way to reopen two major oil ports in the east that were shut by protests almost a year ago. The Ras Lanuf and Es Sider ports make up more than a third of the OPEC producer's export capacity.
Any additional Libyan barrels that may emerge would be regarded as a negative for Brent, BNP Paribas analysts said in a note, though they said question marks remained about how much maintenance would be needed at oilfields and pipelines.
Libya's oil output was at 326,000 barrels per day, a NOC spokesman said on Monday, well below its post-civil war high near 1.4 million bpd.
Investors are also awaiting weekly oil inventory data from the United States due later on Tuesday and Wednesday for clues on demand in the world's largest oil consumer.
U.S. commercial crude inventories were forecast to have dropped in the week to July 4, a preliminary Reuters survey of five analysts showed. Distillate stockpiles were expected to have risen and gasoline inventories to be unchanged.

† Appearances (Goals).
Jonathan "Nate" Jaqua (born October 28, 1981 in Eugene, Oregon) is an American soccer player who is currently a free agent.
High school[edit]
Jaqua is a graduate of South Eugene High School, where he led his team to two Midwestern League titles and one co-championship with North Bend in 1996. South Eugene took home an Oregon Class 4A state title in 1998. He was named a Parade All-American twice and named Oregon 4A Player of the Year twice.
Jaqua played college soccer at the University of Portland from 2000 to 2002. He totaled 29 goals and 22 assists in his three years there was named West Coast Conference freshman of the year.
After his 2002 season, Jaqua signed a Project-40 contract with Major League Soccer and entered the 2003 MLS SuperDraft, where he was selected third overall by Chicago Fire. Although Jaqua was expected to fill the hole in the Fire's lineup left by Josh Wolff, Damani Ralph quickly took that position, and Jaqua was relegated to a reserve role, starting only five games, scoring two goals and two assists. Although Jaqua remained blocked at forward by Ralph and Ante Razov in the 2004 season, DaMarcus Beasley's departure to PSV Eindhoven left an open spot in the Fire midfield, which Jaqua soon took. He finished the season having started 21 games for the team, while scoring four goals and two assists. In the years since, Jaqua has continued to be used as an outside midfielder from time to time, however the majority of his appearances have come as a forward. In 2006, Jaqua was chosen as a reserve to participate in the MLS All Star Game, taking on Chelsea F.C. in an exhibition match at the Fire's home field, Toyota Park. Jaqua played well in the event, which the MLS side won in shocking fashion, 1-0.
Jaqua was taken by Toronto FC on November 17, 2006 in the 2006 MLS Expansion Draft but never played for the club as Toronto traded Jaqua to Los Angeles Galaxy soon after. Los Angeles traded him to Houston Dynamo on July 2, 2007 in exchange for Kelly Gray and a 2nd-round pick in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft.
He signed with Austrian side SC Rheindorf Altach on January 28, 2008, but was released despite performing well with the club. On July 13, he re-signed with Houston Dynamo until 2009. However, on November 26 of that year, he was selected by Seattle Sounders FC in the first round of the 2008 MLS Expansion Draft.[1]
Jaqua stayed with Seattle through the 2011 season. At season's end, the club declined his 2012 contract option and he entered the 2011 MLS Re-Entry Draft. Jaqua was selected by New England Revolution in stage two of the draft on December 12, 2011.
Jaqua has played for the U-18, U-20, and U-23 United States national teams. He got his first cap for the senior team on January 29, 2006, against Norway and nearly scored in the U.S. victory.
