Any member of the phylum Chordata, which includes the most highly evolved animals, the vertebrates, as well as the marine invertebrate cephalochordates (see amphioxus) and tunicates. All chordates, at some time in their life cycle, possess a dorsal supporting rod (notochord), gill slits, and a dorsal nerve cord. Unlike vertebrates, tunicates and cephalochordates lack any kind of brain or skeleton. Chordate bodies consist of a body wall encasing a gut, with a space between called the coelom. The body is usually long and bilaterally symmetrical, with the mouth and sense organs at the front end.

Nike T90 Tracer Ball Review
This past July, Nike released the T90 Tracer ball to be used in some of the top leagues around the globe for the new season, leagues that include the English Premier League, Spain's La Liga and Italy's Serie A. It took Nike two years of extensive research to create this new ball, working with players and teams to come up with the finished program. After a month of testing it myself in training sessions and games, I can tell you that the process was well worth it! There is something special about this ball, especially if you compare it against other top soccer balls currently on the market. Here are my thoughts on how it performs.
Initial Thoughts
From what I had heard about the ball before testing, I knew there was going to be something special about it. One of the first aspects you notice about the ball is the actual design, with very unique looking graphics that circle the ball. Like the Nike Elite range, there is a strong "visual" premise behind the ball that I was eager to try out. After testing it out Atletico Madrids Sergio Aguero stated that "the T90 Tracer always feels the same no matter where I strike it. It's responsive and easily controlled in every situation."
Touch and Control
One of the advancements to this ball is a unique 5 layer casing and construction that improves consistency on touch. One thing that is noticeable is the feel of the ball. When you hold it your hands it has a solid feel, as it does when it touches your foot. But, the difference lies in the fact that it actually has a rebound effect off your foot. It feels really smooth on contact, great feeling overall! Initially, I took the ball out for a knock around, a little jog while dribbling and some toe-taps. Dribbling, the T90 Tracer is great as it moves easily in sync with your boot as you move.
Whats up with the Dimples?
The dimples are part of the micro-textured casing material that is designed to equal the flow of air around the ball as it moves in the air. The ball still feels smooth as you rub your hand over it, it feels like they are "micro" dimples!
Created for Accuracy
In testing, Nike have stated that the T90 Laser is the most pin-point accurate soccer ball in the world, consistently hitting a 3-foot in diameter bulls-eye while the leading competitors were only able to hit a 6 foot diameter bulls-eye. It's tough to actually test this on your own, but from fellow player feedback (who used the ball) it is very consistent when shooting. I think this is integral to a good ball. My personal opinion on the Adidas Jabulani (even though I called it the "Tiny Dancer") was that it failed to help players do what they wanted with the ball. It might have been a nightmare for goalkeepers, but what use is that if top players can control it when shooting or spraying long balls? This is one area that I think the T90 Tracer excels as you are able to knock it where you want with confidence.
Evidently, the circle graphic seen running around the ball does serve a useful purpose! In technical speak "the high-contrast asymmetrical graphic generated a strong visual signal, which captures peripheral vision and focuses central vision more rapidly." And I agree! When knocking this ball around, it is quick easy to spot as you move, especially as the ball circumnavigates the field.
As seen in the English Premier League
Already this season, there have been 86 goals scored in 30 games – an average of 2.9 goals per game. That is a pretty good return, particularly after the drought of goals at this summers World Cup. And the goals being scored have been spectacular. One of the issues at the World Cup was that players couldn't seem to keep shots on target, but that does not seem to be an issue with the T90 Tracer.
In closing, I am a huge fan of this ball and it is probably one of the best currently on the market. Companies are spending large amounts of money on developing a soccer ball that ranks amongst the highest available on the market. And with the Adidas Jabulani achieving almost cult status during the World Cup, it was important that Nike released something that rivaled. And in my opinion, the T90 Tracer exceeds the quality seen in other releases. The main difference for me is the consistency that this ball offers on the field. If you are in the market for a new match ball, this is a great option!

hani 4 September, 2010, 09:32
nice review! But just wondering, why is this ball so expensive, almost at the same price of the jabulani and isnt even thermally bonded, its full of stiching! Isnt a thermally bonded ball with few panels a lot better than stiched balls with 32 panels? If not, then why are adidas lowering the ball's panels??? And each company says about its ball: "…the most accurate ball…" hahaa i just dont get it
Matt 25 April, 2011, 00:06
um… well actually theres no stitching in the ball… its all compressed panels… and its been proven to be the most accurate ball. it isnt just nike saying it is.
Ali 4 September, 2010, 20:07
very good points hani.
by the way Bryan, is there any difference between the ascente and the tracer. because they seem to have the exact same features like the micro-textured chasing and dimples and the strong graphic and consistency?
Ali 5 September, 2010, 03:19
Bryan, can you please do a review also of the new champions league ball
(adidas finale 10) http://www.soccer.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Me…
because it looks really good.and also can you tell me what do you think of the previous adidas balls, the ones with the 14 pannel design like the teamgeist and europass and terra pass. Thanks in advance:)
007 5 September, 2010, 09:50
Thanks Ali,
Thanks Bryan, i guess your right, but it's hard to think that Adidas will go back to a 32-panel ball after making an 8-panel ball regardless of the criticism!
brendan 5 September, 2010, 10:01
have you played at all with the Nike Total90 Catalyst Ball. i was wondering how it compares to the tracer
Ali 5 September, 2010, 17:25
Thanks bryan for your answer.
one more point, adidas says that the jabulani has the highest fifa rating!
so is there actually a number or a quantified scale for soccer balls given by fifa?
Ali 6 September, 2010, 21:45
wow, these are some interesting news bryan:)
thanks for clearing things.
james walker 29 January, 2011, 03:47
Basically anything less then 32 panels and the ball Knuckles in the air as it just isnt properly aerodynamic, 32 panels is the closest thing to a perfect sphere u can get. Its been this way since the 1950's and it shouldnt be changed
james walker 29 January, 2011, 08:45
agree with Bryan, anything below 32 panels and the ball just flys around too much like a beech ball and teh game realy because of it, Fifa should make 32 panels as standard , its no conincidence that all the premier league games with the nike ball are far superior to the FA cup and league which use the rubbish 14 panel balls
James 21 February, 2011, 09:26
Ken, the nike ball is made with the truncated icosahedron Archimedean design ( lol say that after a few ), and of course these balls dont knuckle, its only when Adidas made the 2006 Teamgiest ball that all the complaints started, what makes me laugh is this boast that its a perfect sphere, it was tested in a US University by a top scientist on aerodynamics and he found that it isnt even which is why you get that wobble effect when struck, i think the biggest problem with these balls is there lack of drag or how quickly they shoot through the air, really makes them hard to get up and down its why no freekicks were scored in the world cup, and also certain passes are almost imposs with this ball, i really think games suffer when this type of ball is used and i hope the trend will move more towards the way Nike are making balls which i think is spot on
Hsi Chang Kim 21 December, 2011, 18:31
Hello! I have a question about the tracer ^__^ So I have the Omni (ball from 3 years ago) and after 6 months of play, I noticed that you can see the inner lacing. You can actually see the strings that connect the panels. Is the tracer like that too? Does the panels start to fall apart? Also, what do you suggest to clean the ball?

By: Steph Crock
(ABC 6 News) -- A soldier with ties to Rochester started a personal project that's gone global. An American flag he received from family has traveled to memorial sites across the world and it made a trip to Soldier's Field Wednesday.
While the flag was flown as part of his project, it was also to remember the Minnesota soldier we lost just a few days ago.
"It's actually a flag that was started by my dad when he went to Iraq in 2006, he flew it at his base," said Colin Fulbright.
Since that time, he's taken this flag around the world. "I took it to Afghanistan, it's gone to places like Valley Forge, and Gettysburg. It's been on a bunch of Navy ships..." said Fulbright.
The list of places is 15 pages long. His goal is to fly it at iconic American sites, connecting the flag to American tradition. He also takes it to places like Soldier's Field Memorial, where fallen soldiers are remembered.
"It's all about that, it's all about just honoring their sacrifices," said Fulbright. It comes at a somber time for our state, as we just lost Waseca native Lance Cpl. Caleb L. Erickson.
"My heart goes out to the family and I feel for them because I've been there. I've had friends lost and I just wish them all the best," said Fulbright. Lance Cpl. Erickson's body was returned to the US just a day ago.
After Fulbright's flag flew Wednesday, they lowered another flag to half-staff in honor of Lance Cpl Erickson.
"Unfortunately there are those that will be lost but think from a grateful nation, we are very appreciative of all the things, all that our service members do," said Fulbright.
Funeral Services for Lance Cpl. Erikson will be held on Monday, March 10th at 10:30am at Grace Lutheran Church in Waseca.

How The Swiss National Bank Almost Crushed George Soros
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/23/2015 - 12:52Minutes after last week's Swiss National Bank shocker, jokingly we mused: "Will be ironic if Soros was long EURCHF." As it turns out, we were almost correct, and according to the WSJ, Soros Fund Management, which manages more than $25 billion for investor George Soros, was betting against the Swiss franc in the fall before it removed those bearish positions. Why did the Soros so conveniently take off a bet which, with leverage, could have resulted in massive losses for his hedge fund? The WSJ says he did so after "viewing the risk as too high relative to potential gains, said people close to the matter." Well as long as "people close" think Soros did not have input directly from the Swiss central bank, or perhaps the occasional hint from Kashya Hildebrand, then one can't help but marvel at the octogenarian's impeccable timing.

Did Treasury Secretary Lew Just Call Draghi A Currency Manipulator?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/23/2015 - 12:18Having already put his foot in his mouth about the US oil production industry, it appears Treasury Secretary Lew has done it again:
His barbed comment can only be pointed at Draghi and his crush-the-Euro at all costs plan. But ironically, while he is 'scrutinizing' Europe's collapsing currency he opines that "a stronger dollar is good for America" - despite Europe proclaiming the exact opposite is good for them and seeming to miss the report after report blaming weak earnings on currency moves.

Russell Napier: "Central Banks Are Now Powerless To Prevent A Steep Rise In Real Rates"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/23/2015 - 11:54Central bank policy is creating liquidity. Wrong --- the growth in broad money is slowing across the world.
Central bank policy is allowing a frictionless de-gearing. Wrong --- debt to GDP levels of almost every country in the world are rising.
Central bank policy is creating inflation. Wrong --- inflation in most jurisdictions is now back to, or below, the levels recorded in late 2009.
Central bank policy is fixing key exchange rates and securing growth. Wrong --- in numerous jurisdictions this exchange rate intervention is slowing the growth in liquidity and thus the growth in the economy.
Central bank policy is keeping real interest rates low and stimulating demand. Wrong --- the decline in inflation from peak levels in 2011 means that real rates of interest are rising.
Central bank policy is driving up asset prices and creating a positive wealth impact which is bolstering consumption. Wrong --- savings rates have not declined materially.
Central bank policy is creating greater financial stability. Wrong --- whatever positives impact central banks are having on bank capital etc they have failed to prevent the biggest emerging market debt boom in history.

3 Things - The Fed, Rig Counts And Employment, ECB
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/23/2015 - 11:34The real concern for investors and individuals is the actual economy. There is clearly something amiss within the economic landscape, and the ongoing decline of inflationary pressures longer term is likely telling us just that. The big question for the Fed is how to get themselves out of the potential trap they have gotten themselves into without cratering the economy, and the financial markets, in the process. It is my expectation, unless these deflationary trends reverse course in very short order, the Fed will likely postpone raising interest rates until at least the end of the year if not potentially longer. However, the Fed understands clearly that we are closer to the next economic recession than not and that they can not be caught with rates at the "zero bound" when that occurs.

30 Hours After Unleashing ECB QE, Coeure Suggests QE2
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/23/2015 - 11:10With US equities down 0.5% this morning and European inflation expectations having given back all their ECB QE gains, it was only a matter of time before some half-witted central-planner felt the need to speak...

Has The ECB QE Already Failed? 5 Year Inflation Expectations Decline Since Draghi's Announcement
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/23/2015 - 10:38Just as we pointed out explicitly yesterday, ECBQE will 'not' provide the inflation-expectation-lifting hope that every talking head proclaims as its raison d'etre... just as FedQE did not. We noted previously that Draghi's actions would likely send the most deflationary signal ever to the world's policymakers, and sure enough European 5Y5Y inflation expectations have dropped 10bps from yesterday's highs and round-tripped to the levels seen before Draghi unleashed the money printing machine.

Existing Home Sales Drop Year-Over-Year For First Time Since 2010
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/23/2015 - 10:11Despite surges in mortgage applications juxtaposed with notably downbeat commentary from KB Home and Lennar, existing home sales rose modestly in December (+2.4%) but missed expectations for the 2nd month in a row (+3.0%) for a SAAR of 5.04mm sales. Only the Southern region saw sales improve. However, for all of 2014, there were 4.93 million sales, a 3.1% decline from 2013 (5.09 million) - the first drop since 2010. This should be no surprise as NAR finally admits the problem (instead of blaming weather) - "Housing costs – both rents and home prices – continue to outpace wages and are burdensome for potential buyers trying to save for a downpayment while looking for available homes in their price range." It's the price, stupid!

US Manufacturing Growth Slows To 1 Year Low As Shale Collapse Cripples New Order Spending
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/23/2015 - 09:56Who could have seen that coming? It appears that for all the bluster that the US economy could somehow decouple from the rest of the world's demise (when as always it is simply and timing issue - lagged response), America's manufacturing renaissance is dying. Markit's US Manufacturing PMI printed 53.7 in January, missed expectations of 54.0 falling for the 5th month in a row to the lowest in 12 months. While day after day, investors are told that low oil prices are unambiguously good for America, Manufacturing PMI was last lower than this in October 2013 as survey respondents note clients operating in the oil and gas sector have weighed on new order volumes in January.

WTI Hits $45 Handle After Treasury Secretary Lew Says "Doesn't Expect US Crude Production To Decline"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/23/2015 - 09:05Keeping the narrative dream alive, Treasury Secretary Lew told Bloomberg TV this morning that "lower energy prices are good for the US economy" - seemingly missing the huge surge in jobless claims, the lack of clear gains by firms on lower fuel costs, rig count collapsing, and homebuilder concerns in Shale states. But it was his follow up idiocy that sparked weakness:
The reaction - WTI broke quickly to a $45 handle on heavy volume. Perhaps Secretary Lew should tell the firms that are laying off 1000s how to do their jobs if he is so sure that "they can handle it."

Tips on Hacking Down Your Heating Bill
Temperatures are beginning to drop, and chances are you've already turned on your heat. It goes without saying: lower temperatures mean higher heating bills. Heating your house can cost you heaps. The U.S. Department of Energy offers lots of advice on how to lower your energy bills. But even if you do cash in on Congress' new energy tax credits (which can add up to US$500 to your 2006 tax return!), the major home improvements required to qualify for the rebate – installing energy efficient windows, doors, heating and cooling systems, and water heaters – may cost so much that it could take you 15 to 20 years to pay for the improvements – let alone save on heating bills! Before you break the bank on big upgrades, try these (smaller) top tips from Scambusters, on how to reduce your heating bill without going cold:
1. Turn down your thermostat – It sounds obvious, but even a few degrees can make a big difference.
2. Clean your furnace – A clean furnace is an efficient furnace. This can mean changing your air filter, which usually costs less than $20.
3. Use your ceiling fans – This may sound counter-intuitive, but using your ceiling fans in the winter really works. A fan set in reverse can draw warm air through your home, helping to keep it warm.
4. Raise window-coverings – Keep your shades up, and your blinds open. Take advantage of natural daylight and solar heat through your windows.
5. Seal leaks – Drafts can add significantly to your home heating costs during the winter, so be sure to locate and seal off drafts with caulk or weather strips. It might even be worth it to do a home-energy audit, which costs around $15, and can pinpoint the problems that are costing you. An expert will use a variety of equipment - blower doors, infrared cameras and surface thermometers - to find leaks and drafts that might otherwise be missed.

Have Peter Facinelli and Jennie Garth Separated?
The blogosphere is divided Tuesday after a report from Perez Hilton claims Twilight dad Peter Facinelli and his Beverly Hills 90210 wife Jennie Garth are taking some time apart, with divorce looking likely.
"Jennie is living in the family home in Toluca Lake and Peter has been renting a home in Santa Ynez," according to Perez's source. "It's not looking good!"
However, Celebuzz is hearing a different story.
Celebuzz hears from sources close to the couple that nothing is out of the ordinary in Peter and Jennie's relationship, and they don't see how anything could be going wrong.
"They were just on a family vacation together in Europe and had a great time. They leave at the end of the week to continue traveling."
Apparently they are going somewhere tropical -- how romantic!
Peter tweeted Sunday: "Back in California today. Sad #EuroCruise is over. Hope u guys enjoyed the pics. #Jetlagged"
What do you guys think about the split rumors? Sound off in the comments!

A Savage Empire: Trappers, Traders, Tribes, and the Wars That Made America (Hardcover)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
A surprising and sweeping history that reveals the fur trade to be the driving force behind conquest, colonization, and revolution in early America
Combining the epic saga of Hampton Sides's Blood and Thunder with the natural history of Mark Kurlansky's Cod, popular historian Alan Axelrod reveals the astonishingly vital role a small animal—the beaver—played in the creation of our nation. The author masterfully relays a story often neglected by conventional histories: how lust for fur trade riches moved monarchs and men to launch expeditions of discovery, finance massive corporate enterprises, and wage war. Deftly weaving cultural and military narratives, the author chronicles how Spanish, Dutch, French, English, and Native American tribes created and betrayed alliances based on trapping and trade disputes, producing a surprisingly complex series of loyalties that endured throughout the Revolution and beyond.
About the Author
ALAN AXELROD is the author of The Real History of the American Revolution, What Every American Should Know about American History, Elizabeth I, CEO, and many other works. He is the president of The Ian Samuel Group, a book packager.
Praise for A Savage Empire: Trappers, Traders, Tribes, and the Wars That Made America…
"Offers a unique take on our country's origins by exploring the bloody history of fur trading, an industry that affected not only fashion but the face of a nation....Thoroughly researched and lucidly composed."—Publishers Weekly
"In A Savage Empire Alan Axelrod does for the beaver what Mark Kurlansky accomplished in Cod and Salt. This is first-rate narrative history."—Thomas J. Craughwell, author of Stealing Lincoln's Body
"In A Savage Empire, Alan Axelrod brings to life a time when empires were built on control over beaver pelts. Before Europeans imposed a new economic system on America, they digested the trapping, tanning and trading system of the Native Americans. Axelrod adeptly outlines the wars in which the French, British and Spanish battled each other and swindled Indian tribes out of the furs on their backs."—Alex Storozynski, Fraunces Tavern Book Award winning author of The Peasant Prince: Thaddeus Kosciuszko and the Age of Revolution
"Magnificent….Filled with feats of superhuman endurance and heroism, as well as stories of horror and unimaginable cruelty."—Joseph Cummins, author of First Encounters
"Alan Axelrod takes a dramatic story - the carving of a new nation out of a formidable wilderness, and the motivations for doing so - and tells it with all the richness and historical accuracy that it deserves. A Savage Empire is at once well researched, thorough, and well written. It's the kind of page-turning history that should be written about this utterly unique period in time, America's colonial frontier experience."—James L. Nelson, author of With Fire and Sword
"Axelrod weaves it all into a whopping good story, an epic saga of exploration, cutthroat trade wars, international intrigues, Indian confederations and the hard life in the North American wilderness, a place perilous for everyone, not least the humble and industrious beaver." —The Washington Independent Review of Books

Course Details
Course Reviews
The back 9 with new concrete tees make the layout. Course definitely best early in the year before the weeds make discs on off line shots difficult to find. Only one alternate long basket and one alternate tee. Not a good course for a beginner player.
The addition of 9 new holes (18 total now) makes this course worth playing because the added variety, like throwing from the top of a sledding hill, spices things enough to keep my interest. Wind can be a problem as well as tall prairie grass.
Wide open course. Weeds are really thick. Go off course and plan to spend some time searching. Looks like an old quarry and is windy. Not bad if your in the area. Baskets and pads were good. Cool layout with the mowed fairways just would have liked more obstacles just to break up the monotony of the open course format.

Sanrio's Hello Kitty is a brand that seems to be everywhere—everything from fashion to hotels are themed after the iconic feline—so it's no surprise that something like the Hello Kitty Dreams Restaurant has opened.
The Hello Kitty Dreams Restaurant is located in Beijing, China, and as you might have guessed, this darling eatery is themed after the iconic Japanese cartoon, which made its first appearance in 1974. The restaurant, which has been fully booked over the last few weeks, comprises pretty pink furniture and decor, with everything from its tables to its walls covered in Hello Kitty images. Even the restaurant's food, desserts and drinks are themed after the cute cat.

Surely you are familiar with the basic dental procedures that are most likely offered to you from your general family dentist. But what do you know about the world of cosmetic dentistry? Many people tend to assume that these two terms are one in the same, but that is far from the case. There is actually a wide array of cosmetic dental procedures that are available to anyone willing to take the time to look into this field. Here are just a handful of examples of the many procedures cosmetic dentists are typically able to do for you.
Contrary to popular belief about veneers, this procedure does not actually involve any sort of extractions of old teeth to be completely replaced with new ones. Veneers are more similar to a capped tooth than anything. A cosmetic dentist will take a map of your teeth and gums and use that to create permanent covers for to be placed over the original teeth. This is a great procedure to consider if you have unthreatening gaps between your teeth or you would like to cover up slight imperfections between somewhat crooked teeth. Many customers will also used veneers as a way to brighten up their smile as well. There are no limits to the number of caps to be placed on teeth, so essentially you could fix your entire smile in no time at all.
In-office Bleaching
Many professional bleaching looks fairly similar to the take home kits you can buy at your local pharmacy. Cosmetic dentists however, will use a much more powerful formula so that you only have to come in for one or two visits to get the results you are looking for. This type of procedure has proven to be safe and highly effective for anyone with all of his or her permanent teeth to work with.
Porcelain Crowns
Typically, crowns are a procedure used for bigger issues within the mouth such as cracked, chipped or broken teeth. In cosmetic dentistry, the dentist will have the broken tooth filed down to a point so that a crown can then be attached to the base of the tooth. Crowns can be placed in the mouth permanently or temporarily. With technology drastically improving each year surrounding dental implants, many people will have temporary crowns placed in their mouths until the tooth has healed up enough for an implant.
This procedure involves the extraction of a tooth that is typically beyond repairable. Often times, people will have teeth die due to neglect of proper oral care, genetics, drug abuse or a number of other possibilities. Most of the time, whatever damage has been done to the tooth reaches beyond the nerves and needs to be taken out in time. Once the tooth has been extracted, a pin is then surgically drilled into the bone and a porcelain crown is then attached to the pin rather than the original tooth.
Levin Family Dental has a highly regarded cosmetic dentist that can perform all these procedure and many more. Find out more online today!

Hot answers tagged split
A place where you most definitely have Canon products is Anigota which is a Canon dealer for Croatia. You can find their store in Gundulićeva 26 in Split.
The store is called "Kodak centar d.o.o." and it's near "Panasonic centar".
According to their website, they're open Mondays - Fridays 08:00 - 20:00 and Saturdays 08:00 - 13:00.
I am from Croatia and I find their site confusing as well.
Maybe this link can help you.
IMHO, on this link you have very clear timetable for selected date if that is what you want to find
The Joker Centre is a good possibility - it was the first major mall to open in Split, back in 2007, and has over 50 outlets of major global brands.
Odds are good that an electronics store exists, and that they could help you. At the very least they could direct you to somewhere else who does.
The address is:
Put Brodarice 6
near the Diocletian Palace ...
On this page, after selecting the English language, you can easily find all the schedule between Split and Supetar (and other cities).
As I've understood, these ferries are quite easy to use - they are frequent (near once in 2 hours) and fast (near 50 minutes to go).

Gisele Gushes About Pregnancy, Family
By Sara Brady
The baby's daddy has been keeping his head down at his day job while all this has been going on, preparing for his return to Gillette Stadium in September after a year recovering from a knee injury. Brady was named the NFL MVP of the decade today by ESPN.com and hopefully has a few more good years in him before retirement, since his wife told that interviewer that she's going to be staying at home with the munchkin in a few months. "I prefer to stay at home. The big husband wins," she said, and again, we'd like to flay the translator alive for falling down on the job. "I want to stay at home, cooking, relaxing." Luckily, the Brädchens appear to have a few shekels in the bank, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Tripolitan War
Tripolitan War
(1801–05) Conflict between the U.S. and Tripoli. The U.S. refused to continue paying tribute to the rulers of the North African Barbary Coast states, which had bought immunity from pirate attacks in the Mediterranean. The pasha of Tripoli demanded greater tribute and then declared war on the U.S. (1801). A U.S. naval squadron was sent to Tripolitan waters and fought several skirmishes, including a raid by Stephen Decatur. A U.S. naval blockade and an overland expedition from Egypt ended the war with a peace treaty favourable to the U.S.

Re: Ronnie Dio dead.
Wow, just waking up to this, this morning. That is indeed a shock. Dio was numero uno of his type & genre. Stargazer is one of my rock vocal moments of all time. I saw dio on the same Rainbow tour as you Polly. One of my very early rock concert experiences. Never to be forgotten.
I'm going to mail our bass player with this news right now. He's a massive Dio fan. We're due to practice tonight, & I really believe our bass player won't make it. He'll be devastated.
Ronnie, you certainly rocked my world. RIP.

09.08.07 - By Tony Nobbs: Heading a six bout bill by leading promoter Jamie Myer, Australian super middleweight boxing champion Les Sherrington (16-4, 10 KO's) makes his second defense against Victorian veteran Sean Connell (10-10-2, 4 KO's) over ten rounds at the Southport RSL on Friday night. 23 year old Sherrington, who stands 6'0, is in his second reign, having first won the boxing title by knocking out Arama Tabuai in two rounds in November 2005. He then lost it to Jamie Pittman (KO by 4) in March '06 and then recaptured the vacant belt after Pitman won the WBF title, in February on a technical decision over Sonni Michael Angelo, and has made one defense, a KO 1 over Sean Quagliotto. Danny Mc Grail trained Sherro was in action last just two weeks ago a KO 2 over Thai Yodchainoi. Connell, 38, trained by Greg Grogan, is a former Commonwealth Games boxing representative who has been in good company as a pro. In May he lost a 12 rounder for the WBF title in Belguim against Lansana Diallo and in his last start dropped a technical decision to S.M Angelo in June. I caught up with Young Les, who was born in Townsville, North Queensland, but now lives at Broadbeach on the Gold Coast, at today's press conference. Here's what he had to say. Tony Pritchard Nobbs: Les, what do you expect from Connell tomorrow night? Les Sherrington: He's a very awkward opponent, tough, plenty of experience. He's been boxing for 20 years so I'll definitely learn something, I hope to get some rounds as my last two fights haven't gone long. TN: Who have you been sparring recently? LS: Wayne Parr and Max Marriconte TN: You were basically Anthony Mundine's sparring partner for his last two fights. Tell us about that experience. LS: It was everything you could imagine. Every second I was in there with him it was great. I took so much out of it. It wasn't over whelming, I grew every session. It was the best sparring you could get. We had some great sessions, we got stuck into it some nights. He's a great fighter. TN: There has been talk of a possible bout with Choc in the future (providing he fights again). Realistically how long until you think you could match The Man? LS: 12 to 18 months. I don't want to go into just fight him. I want to go in to win. But that's a long way off yet, a lot more fights until then. He's a good bloke. I hope he can keep fighting. TN: You suffered a few losses early days (all knockouts). What have you got out of that? LS: I can come back. I'm a fighter. You know, I only started boxing at 18. I fought Arama in my first fight and got knocked out in one round in my home town (Townsville). Then I beat him for the Australian title, getting off the deck in the first round to do it. I got knocked out by Jamie Guy (6 rounds) then knocked him out in one round. Losing to Jamie Pittman was the best thing possible. It woke me up. I was starting to read my own press, thinking I was this and that. TN: You are now a full time fighter, previously being a laborer working long hours and then having to train and make weight. How good is it? LS: Awesome. Just to get up and go for a run. Have a rest through the day and train. Not feeling lethargic some days before I have to spar. TN: There's been some talk concerning Porky Lovett, that you are afraid to fight him. Tell us your side. LS: Mate, I fight who ever, where ever. I have a promoter, Jamie Myer. With Porky, I agreed to fight him in his home town but he pulled out three months before the date, saying he couldn't make weight. I don't really believe that was the real reason. Then he pulled out of another fight with an injury so I don't know when or even if he will ever fight again. My weight is super middleweight. I'm looking forward to some big fights in the future but I have to beat Sean tomorrow night first. I don't think it's really worrying about a fight with Porky because I doubt he'd get to the post. TN: Thanks Les LS: Sweet as. Anytime.
