Indian Envoy Conferred Top Saudi Honor

RIYADH/NEW DELHI: Indian envoy to Saudi Arabia Talmiz Ahmad has been conferred the King Abdulaziz Medal of First Class for his contribution to strengthening bilateral ties between India and Saudi Arabia. He is the first Indian diplomat to be conferred this honor. The medal, comprising a decorative badge and a certificate signed by King Abdullah, was presented by Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal (July 10).
"This (King Abdulaziz Order of Merit – First Class) is a tribute from Saudi Arabia to Talmiz Ahmad for his contributions during both his tenures as Indian Ambassador in promoting bilateral relations between the two countries," Prince Al-Faisal said after conferring the Saudi Award of highest order to Indian envoy.
Ahmad has played a significant role in strengthening Indo-Saudi ties and promoting them on a "strategic level." On this, Ahmad said: "Indo-Saudi relations have been transformed into a strategic partnership with the signing of the Delhi Declaration during the landmark visit of King Abdullah to New Delhi in 2006, and the return visit of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last year."
The Indian envoy, whose term in Riyadh ends shortly, is also credited for promoting relations between India and Saudi Arabia at several levels, including cultural and economic. Describing his role as "modest" in progress of bilateral ties, Ahmad said: "Mine has been a modest role in this endeavor, in which a large number of people have contributed both from India and Saudi Arabia."
Ahmad was first appointed ambassador of India to Saudi Arabia in January 2000. He has served as ambassador in several other countries, including UAE and Oman. He was appointed again as Indian envoy to Saudi Arabia last year ahead of Prime Minister Singh's visit to the Kingdom.
In addition to being a career diplomat, Ahmad has written several books and papers on politics of West Asia and energy. The Arabic translation of his book: "Children of Abraham at War: The Clash of Messianic Militarism" was released earlier this month in New Delhi. Ahmad was present on the occasion. His aim is to "promote Indo-Saudi ties in a number of areas on immediate, medium-term and long-term basis that include research and studies, energy discussions and advance guidance with regards to business imunity."
Negotiating with the Taliban?

"Sleeping" with the Enemy"
By Geoffrey Cook, MMNS
Differences Between the U.S., Afghani and Indian Governments
Point Isabel, Point Richmond (Calif.)–Your author is taking his subtitle from a less than notable American film of several years ago to finish up his report on the recent Indian Ambassador to Kabul's comments , Gautam Mukhopadhaya.
At the moment your reporter finds himself at a lovely promontory pointing into San Francisco Bay, and it seems strange to be considering so many matters so far away that I begun two weeks ago from Berkeley. At that time I decided to divide the presentation into two parts because of its length.
Mukhopadhaya continued on how the political position amongst the American voters regarding Afghanistan was shifting away from support to criticism of official military policy in the Hindu Kush. Therefore, the District of Columbia had to change its tactics in response.
Pakistan operates in this War as it perceives to its own interests. Thus, the Ambassador deems that NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's) allies in the Hindu Kush consider Rawalpindi to be unreliable — which is far from the truth in your writer's opinion.
Both the U.S. and Pakistan are targeting the Taliban, (but Islamabad only considers one branch of the Taliban to be hostile to their interests. The other four branches – which are within their territory, too – they do not consider a threat, and all these parties are comparatively accommodating to the other – including Pakistan. Up to 80% of the Pakistani Taliban resides in the federally administered Northwest Provinces.)
The Americans and Pakistani Armies mutually oppose one "clan" of Taliban, and they are fully within Islamabad's Federally Administered Territories. Thus, Peshawar sees no threat to their survival from the Afghani Taliban.
Further, Washington sees no alternative to the Karzai government that the District of Columbia (D.C.) perceives as militarily undependable. At the same time, the U.S. Administration comprehends Kazai's Presidency to be a corruptible one – an uneasy alliance to say the least!
In the London Conference on the Afghani conflict last January (2010), the European and Canadian allies supported the "Afghanization" of the War and the "regularization" (normalization) of our relations with the Taliban! This, hopefully, would lead to meaningful discussions and, eventually, peace within the Mountains! These talks should be mutually respectful between each party – including the Taliban.
At same time, the Indian representative from New Delhi's Department of External Affairs had to take a dig at their traditional competitors: "We need leadership from the Pakistanis!" (This struggle beyond the Khyber is an opportunity to bring these two South Asian nuclear neighbors closer together instead of tearing them further apart to the dangerous detriment to all!) His Excellency accused D.C. of a failure of leadership during this international crisis. To settle the military security, he urged U.S.-Pakistan operations. (Of course, the loss of Islamabad's national sovereignty would be totally unacceptable to its Muslim citizenry, and put the security of Pakistan's topography under question for its Western and regional allies!) Simultaneously, the Saudis close allies to both, are working with Islamabad and Washington to bring their policies closer together.
On the other hand, the Taliban itself is fed-up. The London Conference approved the Taliban's grasp of the countryside while NATO and the Afghani government would occupy the cities. This is not the battle plan of these "Students." They wish to hold the total fasces within the dry, cold hills, and their mindset is far from compromise at this time.
Yet the Americans presume that they have an upper hand, and, correspondingly, are in the position of strength to negotiate with their adversaries. Actually, it is the Pakistanis who are central for negotiating with the problem some Quetta branch of the Talibani. The Pakistani Army has already begun to begin dialogue in Baluchistan. Rawalpindi considers it has made some progress, and the Generals at their Military Headquarters are encouraged by their discourse with the irregular tribesmen.
The U.S.A. has been following a contradictory policy in the Af-Pak itself. While D.C. has been throwing development funds in Southern Afghanistan, it has been shoring up the military on the frontlines in Pakistan.
Ultimately, though, Ambassador Maukapadya does not discern a desire by the Taliban to parley. In the late 1990s, the Taliban regime in Kabul led the U.S. on their intentions. (Your essayist has some questions about this, and that is His Excellency is not separating the goals of a Nationalist Taliban and an Internationalist Al'Quaeda.) Would the Taliban be willing to form a coalition government with Karzai or whoever may succeed him (them)? (Whatever, a re-establishment of the regime of the 1990s is totally unacceptable to International Civil Society without the checks and balances of the partnership of all Afghani peoples and tribes!) The Ambassador is "…not optimistic."
There is preparation for a major NATO assault upon the Taliban stronghold around the southern city of Kandahar, the center of Talibani power. Maukapadya does not feel the battle will turn the War around.
Concurrently, Europe and North America and their regional associates are employing dual strategies against the Taliban who are replying in kind. This War is far from coming to a mutually acceptable denouement.

I have lost the fight with the gremlin that keeps crashing blogger on our server. Instead, I have returned to the poster child for reliability for my blogging needs... Wall-E, my iphone!
This weekend hardly exsisted for Rom and I. Too much on. But I managed to fit in the Sharks game, and her The Bachelorette, so we had a brief few moments to ourselves.
We spent the latter half of Sunday evening catching up on Idols. I don't specify which one because there is only one, SA Idols is like a bad charity, giving hope to losers but not enough to make them great.
Roms, however, made an astonding discovery. One of the contestants, the deep voice, country singing "Baby lock dem' doors" dude Scotty McCreey had a remarkable resemblence to Alfred E. Neuman, Mad Magazines iconic cult representative!
Check it out! It's like finding Aliens in your bathtub...

Annual business ethics forum set for March 27
Is corporate social responsibility good business?
It's not easy being big.
The ethical challenges facing Apple, one of the planet's wealthiest corporations, will be explored at the annual Ethics Forum sponsored by CSU Monterey Bay's schools of Business, and Information Technology and Communication Design. The event will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. on March 27 in the University Center on Sixth Avenue and B Street. Admission is free, but attendees must purchase a $2 parking permit.
How did Apple get so rich? Why do we love Apple and hate Exxon? Is corporate social responsibility good business? In a contest between stakeholders and shareholders, who wins?
The forum's keynote speaker is Rich Jaroslovsky, an editor-at-large and columnist focusing on consumer technology and digital media for Bloomberg News. He joined Bloomberg after a long career at The Wall Street Journal, where he was White House correspondent, national political editor and the founding managing editor of The Wall Street Journal Online. He makes frequent appearances on National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" program.
Jaroslovsky will talk about how and why Apple has grown so dramatically in a short period of time, and discuss the reverberations that kind of growth has on ethical issues and corporate social responsibility.
Panelists include Dr. Angie Tran, professor of political economy at CSUMB and Fane Opperman, managing director, investments, of the Opperman Financial Group of Wells Fargo Advisors of San Jose. Jaroslovsky will also join the panel.
Jeff Froshman, a lecturer in the university's School of Business and a local CPA and certified financial planner, will moderate the panel.
The university's annual Social Justice Colloquium will continue to look at this issue on March 28, when a panel will discuss "Corporate Social Responsibility? Workers, Owners and Consumers in the Global Economy." The colloquium is put on by the Division of Social, Behavioral and Global Studies.

DRS deadlocks in thread scheduling
Last modified: 2006-02-22 17:12:16
You need to log in before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
Deadlock is due to non-daemon threads waiting on other non-daemon threads (and other external resources), thus not relinquishing the worker thread and thus not returning the worker thread to the work manager's thread pool. Since other threads cannot be scheduled, the net result is a deadlocked DRS (if not work manager in total).
Fix is to change Discover, Transfer, and TransferRequest {Worker}s to return true from isDaemon method.

Verenyky, Pierogi, Perogy, Dumplings, no matter what you call them, you will find them on every Eastern European menu.
They can be filled with whatever fruit or vegetable is in the season, and even with meat, for a hearty meal.
Those of us who make them on regular basis, are accustomed to preparing the dough with the all-purpose white flour.
However, I have been experimenting lately with other flours, to customize my recipe for those who are allergic to gluten or wheat.
My previous dumplings recipe with White Rice flour was excellent in taste and texture, however next time I am definitely filling them with apples or cherries. I feel this dough will be perfect for that filling combination, served with caramel, butter, or brown sugar.
This time I used Gluten Free Pizza Crust Whole Grain Mix, and the dumplings turned out awesome.
This flour is a mixture of Whole Grain Brown Rice, Potato Starch, Whole Grain Millet, Whole Grain Sorghum, Tapioca and Potato, plus other additives.
Since this flour is suitable for pizza crust, it also includes a separate packet of yeast (as pictured above), which you do not use for this dumpling recipe.
This dough has some elasticity, unlike the Rice Flour dough, but not as much as one made with all-purpose white flour.
I was able to roll it out, but I chose to cut it up in strips, then form 2×2 inch squares, rather than cutting out circles, as in the traditional technique posted previously.
I highly recommend this flour for those who love varenyky, but can not tolerate gluten or wheat.
I actually would use it all the time now, if it wasn't for the more than double price of the regular flour.
This recipe yields 38 dumplings.
You can serve them plain, with onions sautéed in butter, as in the picture on the left.
You can also fry them lightly on both sides in oil or butter, and serve with sautéed onions, plus a dollop of sour cream (my favorite), as in the picture on the right.
They are absolutely delicious, no matter how you serve them.
I must say, I was pleasantly surprised of the outcome of these dumplings, since I was not sure how they would hold up during pinching and cooking process.
I had no problem with sealing the sides, and none of them opened up during boiling, which is not always the case with the traditional ones.
These were excellent reheated the next day. Sooooo good!!
My husband liked the better than the traditional ones, due to the lightness of the dough.
If your family or friends who would benefit from this recipe, please pass it on.
I would love to hear your comments. Thank you.
TIP: Since this dough resembled very closely my traditional one, I decided to use the potato/cheese filling to make them as close as possible to the original recipe.
I peeled, quartered, and cooked about 8 medium size Red potatoes, with 1 tsp. of salt. Once they were done, I drained the water, and mashed the potatoes with about 3/4 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/2 onion, chopped and sauteed in butter, and black pepper to taste. When cooled, I used about 1 tsp. of filling for each dumpling square.
I had some filling left over to use as a side dish for another dinner.

OMG. This is such a great recipe. Thank you so much:) I didn't have pizza crust mix and used bread mix instead and it turned out great. The whole family loved it. Дякую

2I am so glad your bread flour was great for varenyky,
Would you like to share what type of bread flour you used? I assume it also was Gluten Free. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your comment.

Sometimes playing with your food is a good thing! Mixing art with food is a great thing. Edible finger paint is simple and quick to make, and kids as young as one will enjoy painting with this fun art supply. Clean up is as simple as tossing the kiddo in the bath after the painting is done. And, you don't have to run out and get a thing for this project — you probably already have what you need in your refrigerator.
Supplies for Edible Finger Paint:
- Plain yogurt
- Food coloring (I used gel food coloring)
One of my favorite tricks for a toddler is to mix little cups of plain yogurt (or vanilla pudding) with a few drops of food coloring in each cup. You don't need that much food coloring because when the yogurt dries, the color is actually darker on the paper than it is when it's wet. Also, you don't want the paint to be so dark that it stains the kid and whatever he touches.
Before we tried this, I considered buying finger paints, but I was really pleased with this activity because it was free (we already had the supplies on hand), and because it's edible and washable. The paintings look nice when they're dry, too. The colors are really bright.
The Process:
Strap your child in their high chair and let hthemer use the yogurt as "paint." They can paint paper (just let it dry for a vibrant art piece, suitable for grandma's fridge or a thank you card), grapes (for a snack), or even just the high chair tray itself. This paint works great with paintbrushes or with fingers.
This was my son's first time finger painting, but he got the idea really quickly. Of course, plenty of the paint got into his mouth, but the beauty of this paint is that it's okay to eat it! We used plain, unsweetened, unflavored yogurt, so it's not so tasty on its own that the kid wants to eat it all and not paint with it.
Of course, you can adapt this activity to use what you have on hand. If you have pudding, use that. If you don't have food coloring, use some cocoa powder to make brownish paint. If you want, experiment with natural food colorants like beet juice or pureed carrots.
Cleanup is easy. Just use a washcloth/sponge, and soapy water. For the kid, depending on how messy he or she is, you might be able to wipe them down, or you might prefer to toss the kid into the bathtub. Because yogurt is a dairy product (and already sour-smelling to begin with), I advocate the bath afterward. If you don't feel like dealing with chair clean up, give your child the yogurt and stick him in the bathtub with no water and let him paint the walls. When he's done, just give a bath.
My son had fun painting. This activity gave us about twenty minutes of fun, but this was our first foray into painting, and he's only 18 months old. For his age, he paid attention for quite a long time. Older kids might last longer.

Newport News librarian receives award
Jordan Crawford | 8/7/2013, 3:34 p.m.
"It really caught me by surprise because I told my staff not to submit my name. I feel that it takes a team; I accepted the award on behalf of my staff because we all deserved it."
Demetria Tucker, senior family and youth services librarian for the Pearl Bailey Library, is the recipient of the 2013 Coretta Scott King-Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement. The award is sponsored by the American Library Association.
Tucker was honored for her achievements at the Newport News City Council meeting on July 9, where Newport News Mayor McKinley Price presented her with the award and a proclamation.
At Pearl Bailey Library, Tucker coordinates a youth leadership program, a teen urban literature club and many other programs that support the youth of the southeast community of Newport News.
Tucker's efforts with her youth are essentially to promote literature and teach them how to work together. The many programs she implements with the library consist of The Boss of Cakes, a male mentoring program with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Teen Advice, How to Navigate the Library, and a math and science tutoring program with pharmacy students from Hampton University.
The library also prepares college care bags to give to the youth in their programs who will be entering college.
Tucker previously served as youth services coordinator within the Roanoke (Va.) Public Library System and library media specialist at the Forest Park Elementary School, where she was selected 2007 Teacher of the Year. She holds a master's degree in library science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a bachelor's degree in sociology from the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University-Greensboro, N.C.
"I have always sought to provide an environment that allows young people the opportunity to actively be engaged, make choices and achieve a sense of self-worth and pride," Tucker said. "Our programs provide lasting outcomes that empower and provide young people the opportunity to become positive leaders and major stakeholders in their communities and throughout their adult lives."
The Coretta Scott King-Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement is named in memory of children's author Virginia Hamilton.
In odd years, the annual award is presented to a practitioner for substantial contributions through active engagement with youth using award-winning African American literature for children and young adults, via implementation of reading and reading-related activities and programs. The recipient may be a librarian, educator, or youth literature advocate whose vocation, work, volunteer service or ongoing promotion of books with or on behalf of youth is significant and sustained.
In even years, the award is presented to an African American author, illustrator, or a combination of the two who has made a significant and lasting literary contribution, for a body of his or her published books for children and young adults.
Virginia Hamilton was an award-winning author of children's books. She wrote more than 35 books throughout her career. During her lifetime, Hamilton received numerous awards, including the Coretta Scott King Book Award, the Edgar Allan Poe Award, the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award and the Hans Christian Andersen Award.
Tucker was presented with the Coretta Scott-King-Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement medal in Chicago at the 2013 American Library Association Annual Conference.
Ask her what her most favorite program is being offered at the Pearl Bailey Library and Tucker will say The Boss of Cakes (youth design fake cakes out of recycled objects and material), and Teen Advice because she enjoys seeing the teens interacting and conducting business.
"Librarians are culture-keepers," said Tucker, making a difference in her community one youth at a time.

Does Facebook have designs on its own chip?
Facebook, a chip designer? Never! Well, don't be too quick to pooh-pooh the idea. Facebook, after all, is a Silicon Valley company.
Facebook may venture into the rarified ranks of chip designers, a source told CNET.
Sound crazy? Well, Facebook already makes its own servers.
While designing a chip is a more ambitious undertaking than building a server -- and way outside Facebook's core competency of social networking -- market-leading companies are always looking into alternative businesses opportunities.
"They have chip designers," the source said but admitted that it's not clear what those designers are for. This person also said that it wasn't clear if Facebook was using a design from ARM, referring to the most popular chip architecture for smartphones and tablets.
Could the chip be for a future Facebook device, like a tablet or smartphone? Or maybe something more dull like silicon for a data center computer? Again, that is not known.
Nor is it known if it would ever come to fruition.
But there are more than a few examples of large tech companies getting into businesses that seem, at first, at odds with their core business. Apple dove into chip design back in 2008 and has been successful in that venture. And Amazon, a Web-based retailer, designed its own tablet, which quickly became the top-seller on the Android platform.
Could Facebook replicate that kind of success? It's an enticing thought.
Facebook declined to comment.

Studying the Higgs Field
Name: Abby Status: student Grade: 9-12 Location: IL Country: USA Date: Summer 2012
In terms of the Higgs Boson, the Standard Model states that there is a Higgs field. Does this field continue to propagate (I think at the speed of light) even though the Higgs particle has decayed? Do we need a Higgs Boson to study the effect of the field it has on other particles (sending particles through the field in the moment before decay -- I think this would be difficult), or is there some other way to study the Higgs field? Since some cosmic rays are at higher energies than the LHC, would studying cosmic rays be a way to study the Higgs field?
We are experiencing a study of the Higgs field every time we acknowledge mass. The field does propagate after the boson has decayed.
I believe the details of how Higgs originates, decays, propagates and interacts await further study by curious investigators like you. Higgs will eventually be studied at multiple energies, if allowed... this study is incredibly costly.
Hope this helps. Peter E. Hughes, Ph.D Milford, NH

Isn't that a restful, tranquil picture. Sometimes when I am down, I start the water boiling, pray and then sit down with "clean thoughts" and enjoy my tea. For some reason it always tastes just a little bit sweeter.

Quickly and cost-effectively responding to climate change by valuing nature's services
The Climate Summit in Copenhagen will go down in history as among the world's largest ever to date: 119 heads of state and government representing countries that account for 89 percent of the world's GDP, 82 percent of the world's population and 86 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
(Photo of Danish COP15 President Connie Hedegaard, Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, UN Secretary Ban Ki-moon, British Prince Charles, Director of the UN climate secretariat Yvo de Boer t the opening ceremony 15 December: Keld Navntoft/Scanpix)
As impressive as this attendance is, the truth is most progress in protecting the environment happens out of the glare of the media spotlight.
It happens because of the willingness of governments, businesses, and individuals to pay attention to -- and fairly value -- the natural world and the almost incalculable worth of its ecosystem services, such as clean drinking water.
International treaties matter, but so does action closer to home.
We at TreePeople have been advocating for trees, for urban forests and watersheds, for the value of ecosystem services for years. So it's worth taking note when a powerful government agency such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers vows to reform its practices to value the environment fairly instead of extracting value from it and often leaving it in ruins.
Back in 1992, following the Los Angeles riots, public agencies had quite a different idea about the value of the Los Angeles urban watershed.
For one thing they didn't believe it existed.
That year, while the city was hurting from the riots and their aftermath, the Corps of Engineers announced plans to raise the concrete walls of the Los Angeles River. The city had become so overpaved that stormwater could no longer sufficiently be absorbed by the land. The Corps justified their expensive decision by a calculation that a 100-year flood would risk 500,000 lives and $2.3 billion in damages.
When I protested that there was another way to solve this problem, a way that provided multiple benefits by restoring the natural urban watershed through strategically planting trees, removing paving, restoring soil health and harvesting rainwater (and employing the urban youth whose lack of opportunities were part of the root cause of the recent riots), I was told I had it wrong.
"The watershed," I was told, "isn't here. It's up in the mountains."
To make a long story short, they went ahead and poured the concrete.
As climate negotiators seek international solutions, I find it hopeful that that the White House Council on Environmental Quality now led by LA's own Nancy Sutley has released a new set of guidelines for U.S. projects constructed by the Corps of Engineers. According to the story in The New York Times:
The draft encourages a new policy for flood-plain management.
It directs planners to consider nonstructural approaches -- typically, using building codes, planning laws and education campaigns to manage flood plains and protect public safety, wetlands and other natural resources -- rather than proceeding with the construction of levees and dams.
How this will play out on the ground (and in our watersheds) remains to be seen.
But simply for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to be now required to value and work with people and ecosystem services when formulating its plans may be a step forward in cost-effectively saving our urban watersheds. It's a hopeful move away from investing in costly fixes, one that could free up capital and solve multiple problems at once, healing nature and preventing and protecting against climate change.

The Lead
Okay, so here in fact is the story so far. Oliver Kay publishes a Times of London "exclusive" on a Qatari proposal to establish something called the "Dream Football League." Soon after it emerges that French magazine Les Cahiers du Football published a clearly satirical story on a league proposal with the same name on March 10th, with very similar details, and the same promotional photo attached. Both Kay and the Times however stand by the story.
Yesterday a man on Twitter named Rob Beal claims he is one of Kay's sources on the story (and also stands by it). I did some investigating and it seems Beal has a history of alleged fraud, including establishing a fake security agency in Paris, a place he did not reside in at the time. Beal claims to work for a company named ESM in Paris, but it's clear Beal is still based in Sheffield, UK.
What We Know
After I published my findings yesterday, a number of UK journalists with leading newspapers reached out anonymously to report Beal had been in contact with them in the past with story information that in many cases could not be independently verified and so was rejected. So we know he has a history of doing this sort of thing. Several others recounted to me allegations that Beal had personally threatened them on occasion. He may have also been involved in several possibly fraudulent schemes to purchase various football clubs. I'm awaiting further information on this front.
We also know that Oliver Kay and many other major football journalists followed Beal on Twitter, including several figures within Ligue 1 and PSG. This, it should be noted, doesn't necessarily mean anything at all.
We also know that Cahiers du Football is adamant the story came completely from their own imagination. Editor Jerome Latta wrote a blog post today explaining the saga, and he's of the belief Kay was somehow duped by a duplicitous source.
We also know the Times late last night wrote a follow-up piece which claimed several clubs had "admitted privately yesterday to having been sounded out by intermediaries working on behalf of such a project." Which, if the piece is a complete fabrication, is obviously odd.
I'm also aware of another source in France adamant that a plan similar to the DFL existed, and that the league would be proposed in June of this year. They would not reveal their source to me but said they've provided reliable info in the past. He would not confirm to me whether the plan was in fact called the Dream Football League. They know Rob Beal but not in connection to this particular story.
What we don't know
Timing is very important in this. I've heard that Kay began work on this story on Sunday, but the CdF piece was published late Monday. I don't know for certain that Beal is an actual source on this, or is just having fun (he's apparently been shopping around odd info to various reporters). I don't know if other papers were approached with similar claims and rejected them.
Finally, I don't know any other sources on this.
I'll start with the weak possibilities and move to the strong.
1) Les Cahiers du Football is lying and weirdly based their satirical story on some sort of truth, which was later accurately reported by Oliver Kay.
2) Kay's story is completely based on the CdF story, fed to him by Rob Beal and other sources working in tandem.
3) Kay worked more than once source, and one of them, possibly Beal, fed him the details and photo directly from CdF. The others may have confirmed to Kay that Qatar had concocted a plan similar to the DFL, which may have come to light at the latest European Club Association meeting in Doha in early February. Just an odd form of happenstance.
Any further info would always be appreciated.

Test System
Processor: Intel Core i7 870 and Intel Core i5 750
Mainboard ASRock P55 Deluxe (P130 BIOS) (Supplied by ASRock)
Memory: 4GB Kingston KHX12800D3T1K3/6GX (Supplied by Kingston)
Hard Disk: Kingston SSD Now M (Intel X25-M 80GB SSD) (Supplied by Kingston)
Graphics Card: Zotac GTX 285 AMP! Edition 1GB (flashed to stock BIOS) (Supplied by Zotac)
Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212 (with an extra fan) (Supplied by Cooler Master)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate RC-1 64-bit
Drivers: Intel INF 220.127.116.115 and NVIDIA ForceWare 190.62
The P55 Deluxe is a nicely laid out board that was very easy to work with. As I mentioned, ASRock put some good thought into the layout and made use of the new 2-chip architecture that Lynnfield plus P55 offers.
This is not to say that the motherboard is not without problem. One problem that I ran into was with the external SATA 6G card. As it is a PCI-e x1 card it only seems natural to drop it into the only PCI-e x1 slot on the board. Unfortunately this was not such a good idea. This slot is only Gen 1 PCI-e and does not have the same available bandwidth that the Gen 2 slots have. This meant rather poor performance from the card (performance will be covered below).
In the end (after a quick e-mail to ASRock) I was informed that I needed to use one of the PCI-e X16 slots to get proper performance. We would recommend using the lowest (x16 physical/ x4 electrical) slot for this. Using this slot keeps the two main PCI-e slots open for SLI or CrossFire. One downside is that the PCI-e x1 SATA 6G card feels a little wobbly in the larger slot.
But there was another issue. When I first installed the card I waited for the Install New Hardware wizard to pop-up, but it never did. I checked Device Manager and it still was not there. I became concerned that the card was bad. So I plugged in a Kingston SSD Now V+ 128GB SSD just to see if it needed something attached to be visible to the system. I still did not see anything and nothing extra was in the Device Manager. The odd thing was that I now had a new drive visible in Disk Management, it was the Kingston SSD. It was very disconcerting to not see the SATA 6G card install, but then to have it working like that.

Elisabetta Canalis Demonstrates the Danger of Leaving Dogs in Cars
For Immediate Release:
8 August 2012
Ben Williamson +44(0)7525411733; firstname.lastname@example.com
London – Every year, dogs suffer and die from preventable heat-related illness during the summer months. In the wake of reports that most of England will be experiencing high temperatures later this week, PETA asks that you share its recent advert starring Elisabetta Canalis, in which the model wakes up to discover that she has been trapped inside a car on a hot summer day. Sweating and gasping for air, Canalis struggles to unlock the doors and open the windows until she finally collapses. "Dogs can suffer from heatstroke and die in a matter of minutes when left in a car on a warm day", the ad explains. "In the summer, leave your dog at home."
"It's very important if you see a dog unattended inside a car that you don't leave the situation", says Canalis in her interview with PETA. "If it's too hot for us, it's definitely too hot for our dogs."
Every year, PETA receives reports of dogs who have died as a result of being left alone in a car on a warm day – even when the windows are left slightly open or the car is parked in the shade. On a relatively mild summer day, the temperature inside a shaded car can climb to more than 35 degrees Celsius in a matter of minutes.
Canalis is part of a long list of celebrities – including Pamela Anderson, Paul McCartney, Charlize Theron and Eva Mendes – who have teamed up with PETA to promote animal protection.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Shadow!
Facts about Shadow
- Breed: Tennessee Walking Horse
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large
- Sex: Male
Shadow's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, rideable, up to date with shots, and good with kids.
Shadow is a 6 year old TWH gelding who came into the rescue 250lbs over weight. He is in optimal weight and in saddle training. He is very sweet, quiet and eager to please. He gets along with other horses provided he is not turned out with both mares and geldings. To approved homes only.
Other Pets at Mountain View Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Shadow, a Old Fort Tennessee Walking Horse was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Tennessee Walking Horse for sale in Old Fort, or seeking a Tennessee Walking Horse from a breeder in Old Fort.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Old Fort already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Old Fort breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Tennessee Walking Horse breeders who help with Tennessee Walking Horse rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Old Fort paves the way for another one to be saved.

Existentialism and Christian Zen is a book written for readers without an in depth background in philosophy, especially existentialism. Written in the style of an in-depth essay, the book is both an examination of the interface between Christian meditation and Zen Buddhism and a practical dialogue between Christian existentialism and the practice of Zen.
Father Bill McVey takes readers on a mindful existentialist tour of Christianity and Buddhism, respecting the uniqueness of each but finding the important ground they share. Readers receive the gift of insight as well as vital tools to help them through the inevitable anxiety in which life in the post-modern world marinates.

Date 2012-04-25 Availability unrestricted Abstract Many past events go unmarked and unremembered, and eventually lose their significance. One such area is the Wonderboom fort, tree and the Nature Reserve. The research investigates how the landscape design can strengthen the existing spirit of place. The place's identity - that of a refuge – is intangible and unconscious, but can be made tangible through a narrative that engaged with the cultural and biophysical history of the site (the tangible world) by means of didactics and semiotics. This will provide a learning experience with added meaning that gives added identity of place. Furthermore, specific design principles are investigated namely: better access, heightened awareness, and heightened interest created through complexity and coherence in design. Complexity and coherence will generate interest in the user to engage with the physical/conscious experience, engaging and learning about the physical aspects of the site's nature and culture. The unconscious experience will be guided through semiotics – the use of symbols that give meaning and add identity to place and user. The design intervention will be a landscape which tells the story of the place and unveils the heritage and history of the site in such a way that visitors will have an engaging and informative experience of the past events. The site can be the northern link and gateway into the city of Pretoria, a destination for local and international tourism, and a green corridor for people to experience the city in a different way. The design approach ties in with the Burra Charter approach, namely "changing as much as necessary but as little as possible" but also with the Ename charter stating that Heritage sites should be presented to the public and the public should be educated to ensure their protection. Hampton Adams rightfully says that: Only by looking at the past, can we plan the future.© 2011, University of Pretoria. All rights reserved.

text: It feels like it's been a while since we've gotten a dose of that endorphin-laced sound from Adventure Club. This right here, a remix of Max Elto's "Shadow Of The Sun," is really special, and will take you right back to that special place. Forget being a shadow of the sun and instead find yourself on a non-descript beach without a care in the world… and only your shades. Perhaps you've got a cold one on the side and you've got your little book of notes and poems on your other, but no matter what, you simply just can't be bothered. Surely there might be sand getting in the crevices of your body and in places you didn't even know existed. This one though is really just about being on beach and letting the water wash away your #feels and dipping your toes in just enough. For a free download, this track is a steal.

For interaction with Alaskans, choose a B&B, as they're usually local-owned; proprietors tend to be eager to provide travel tips or an unforgettable story. The cheapest options are tents or

Best Secret Islands on Earth
David Nicolas
Nicaragua: Jicaro Island
You'll get a dose of cognitive dissonance arriving at Jicaro Island. There are palm trees and thatched roofs, even a shadowy volcano in the distance, but the air has none of the tropical tang you'd expect, and there are no waves or powdery shores. That's because Jicaro is located on Lake Nicaragua, a freshwater lake 10 minutes by boat from the colonial town of Granada. The island's single acre is occupied by Jicaro Island Ecolodge (505/8403-1236; jicarolodge.com; doubles from $480, including meals), a hotel as sensitive to the environment as it is easy on the eyes. Its nine casitas, stylish with their slatted façades and mosquito-netted beds, are crafted entirely from Nicaraguan timber, salvaged from storm-felled trees. The food is locally sourced, all organic; solar power heats the water; and there's a freshwater infinity pool. As you sip a passion-fruit-banana cocktail and watch the cormorants dive into the lake, you'll marvel at how you managed to find such a smart hotel in such an unexpected location.
T+L Tip: Spend an afternoon hiking around the cloud forest on the upper slopes of the nearby volcano, Mombacho. —Peter J. Frank

...George Michael. I LOVE One More Try. I like the video, too. It's my favourite by him, and one of my top songs of all time. He made that song back when POP music made sense and was good. lol.
Then I like Father Figure, Faith, and Last Christmas. That would be my top 4 George Michael songs.
Then Freedom! '90 and Careless Whisper, I guess. I used to like Careless Whisper a lot, but now not so much. I don't really know what happened.
I don't even know how to phrase this...but you know the "Interested In" section on your Facebook profile? Do some people use that box for people they are looking for other than romantic relationships???
Cause this girl I know from school added me about a month ago. And just as I was looking at her profile today I saw she had this:
Looking For: Friendship
Interested In: Women, Men
We're waiting for the toxicology tests. We're hoping that they'll tell us what caused my brother to pass. I'm doing better over all, but I was really bad there for a couple of weeks. I basically cried every night. Just thinking about him, the shitty life that he got because of his mental illness, and all the things that I didn't do. I felt SO much regret for while there. I mean, remember what I wrote a few months ago???
That someone's entire life can be completely messed up by an illness. It completely frustrates me that my brother never got to live his proper life because he was "given"/developed/whatever schizophrenia. What child deserves that?!?!?! At thirteen his whole life changed because of this mental illness. It isn't fair. Because of it he was ripped away from his family so doctors could figure out what was wrong with him. And in the process, because of the way the illness changed him, he was robbed of his teen years that should have been spent at home with his family.
We laid my brother to rest last week. His funeral was...nice. I guess. I don't know. I cried a few times, but really I can't, or maybe won't let myself, cry in front of people. I was sitting on a couch in the room that had his casket in, and avoiding all the people I didn't know, which was pretty much everyone, and then my Grandma came walking over to me and I just blubbered. She made me cry, dammit! We couldn't do an open casket cause his body was in such rough shape because he was laying for so long before anyone finally found him.
Has anyone watched The Celluloid Closet? I really, really, really want to. Does anyone know where I can watch it online?
We were going through a bunch of old photos today to make some collages for my brothers funeral and, man, was that rough. I cried multiple times just looking at photos of him when he was a kid. I guess you'd need to know the history of our family and relationship to really understand. In brief, my brother was sent away when he was around 14 because he started acting out really badly and was diagnosed as a schizophrenic. So, I didn't see him all that much till about 10 years later when he moved back home. So, looking at the photos from before he changed just makes me sad.
It encapsulates so much of what I've been feeling about his death...
This Monday I found out that my older brother passed away. I've cried a total of, well, I don't even know how many times this week. I'm crying now. I just feel like shit. The whole thing was completely unexpected. We waited days to find out why he died only to be told that they can't conclusively say why he died, but they think it was heart failure. He was dead for at least 10 days before someone finally found him. What kind of a way is that to go out? We probably won't even get to do an open coffin; which is what I wanted. I wanted to see him one last time.
I want to get Pokemon Platinum!! I'm trying to get a used copy for relatively cheap, but I'm not having the best luck. I also want to play it online, but I'm having trouble getting a used Wi-Fi USB connector, too.
I have "Party in the USA" stuck in my head. How messed up is that? lol, I'll admit it's a very catchy tune, but seriously a Miley Cyrus song? Nooooo!!!! lol.
I'm still feeling pretty good about what my mom said about gay people, but now I'm curious if she still feels the same about gay couples adopting. A few years back she said that she thought is was "weird" and "wrong" for gay and lesbian couples to have children. *shrug*, I'm hoping something will happen in the media about gay couples adopting/having kids, so I can bring that up. I'm really curious as to how she feels about that now.
Me and my mom were walking home today and we were talking about the news that the Pope covered up abuse and eventually the topic turned to me ranting about how I don't believe in orgagnized religion and all their ridiculous rules and crap. So, right out of the blue my mom starts talking about gay people! She just starts saying how crazy it is that religious people hate them so much, and that gay people are normal and are just born that way, ect. And she kept going on about it. It was like she was trying to let me know that she is okay with gay people because she thinks I am one.
I'm going to be a bridesmaid this summer, so I was just taking a look at dresses on the Sears website and I found one that I like ----> http://www.sears.ca/product/jessica-md-halter-dress/4895774S?ptag=1. But, dammit it doesn't come in the right colour! The colour for all the bridesmaid dresses is cobalt blue. But that aqua is pretty! Also the length is pretty much what I'd like, around the knee, rather than a full down-to-my-feet-length. Annndddd The price is extra nice, $79.99!! Dude, I've been told to prepare to pay $200 for a dress!!! In no way do I want to pay that much.
I found out the major spoiler from Effy's episode. Arggg!!!!! Damn Internet! The truth is that I've lost interest in this season. I watched up until Katie's episode (#4) and then I just lost that intense need to watch. Some of it has to do with my computer overreacting when I watch videos, but it's also because the show just got so dark and boring and it hasn't been as good as last season. Or, at least it hasn't to me.
90210 kinda sorta started the lesbian relationship that's been over hyped the past few months. Well, they started their friendship, anyways. They really didn't get enough screen time in that episode, though. I get that it's an ensemble show, but, dude, they got what 5 minutes total throughout that entire episode? Not nearly enough time considering the amount that every other character and couple gets. Mandy Musgrave was also in the episode, but only in the background for one scene and she didn't even have any lines, so that was a little disappointing.
