My take: On offense, the WRs would. Dallas Clark would not. He has bigger catch numbers than our TEs, but wouldn't start in our system over our more well-rounded guys. (At the same time he may start over our guys in the Colts system) Addai wouldnt. Manning wouldn't. I suppose if you had all 10 of the starting OL on the same team, Light (IMO, he is clearly better than Glenn) Mankins, Koppen (clearly better than Saturday) would easily start. Neal, IMO would, and the players would be shifted around a bit so one Colt OL started, probably Glenn at RT. On D, no one on their DL would start. (I imagine, maybe possibly we would play more 43 to get Freeney in, but he so weak vs the run, I doubt he would play in any situations other than nickel/dime) At LB, I think Brackett, today would start inside, with Vrabel moving outside, and TBC to the bench. June would have to try and become a safety to play on our D. Freeney couldn't handle the run from an OLB position in the 34 either. At corner, no one they have would start for us. Sanders would be a starter at safety, and if both Harrison and Wilson were healthy, we'd probably move Wilson to corner because we could afford to. I dont believe Sanders would start over Wilson though if they didnt make that move, because we use our safeties very differently than the colts, and Wilsons strengths fit our D better. What does everyone else think?
ahahasgahahahaha your funny this woudl be roster if we had Colt players QB - Brady RB - Maroney FB - Evans WR - Harrison/Wayne TE - i think Clark is better than Watson..better hands at least...idk OL - Glenn-Mankins-Saturday-Neal-Diem 3-4 D DE- Seymour DE-Warren DT- Wilfork OLB-Colvin/Vrabel ILB-Bruschi/Seau CB-Samuel/Harper SS-Harrison FS-Sanders
#1 there is NO WAY IN THE WORLD that saturday is better than Koppen. I cant even say its close. I agree with you on Diem, and disagree on Glenn. He and Light are basically a draw as pass blockers and Light is a much better run blocker IMO. But it is a subjective thing. No way I give in on Koppen, but I could accept 3 of our 5 start over theirs. I disagree on Harper. I think he is in the bottom 20% of starting corners, and Hobbs is just a better player. (Scott is too) The only other thing we disagree on is TE. Clark as a receiver only as I said, is at this point, ahead of our TEs, but Watson has much greater potential. But as a complete TE, its not even close. We require TEs to be much better blockers than Clark is.
Harper is a pretty good CB in the league..David is their bad 1 i also think Koppen is abetter center..no idea why i picked Saturday..guess the pro bowls fooled me
NO I'm talking about Harper. He is not a good corner. I'd predict he wouldn't have survived camp in NE much less be a starter on this team.
Cool, Im glad I didnt have to fight to defend Koppen. I would because he deserves the recognition, and is one of those guys that doesnt get it.
I'm assuming 2 healthy rosters: Offense first Colts' offensive starters: RT, WR1, WR2 Patriots offensive starters: QB, WR3/TE1, RG, C, LG, LT Could go either way, depending upon planned use: RB New England arguably has the 2 best running backs (3 of the best 4) and the 3 best tight ends, but you'd have to see those two positions battle it out to be sure because of the significance in the different ways they are used. Defense next Colts defensive starters: (maybe) a linebacker to either replace TBC or to move Vrabel back outside in TBC's spot. Due to injury, it's probable that the Colts would also place Bob Sanders in the starting defensive backfield, although I don't think that's quite as definite as others appear to believe.
I think it's difficult to compare since the two systems run by each team are completely different and need players that would not necessarily work in both systems. Especially on defense. The types of players they have would not work in our system, but that doesn't necessarily make our players 'better', as ours might not work in their system either. They stress speed. We've historically stressed size and power. On offense I think it's clear that their top two wideouts are head and shoulders above the guys we have and would easily take the 1 and 2 spots from our guys. At QB you'd probably do well to use Manning in the regular season and Brady in the post season. At RB I'd take our guys, but on the OL I'm not so sure how many of our guys would still start. That unit always blocks productively for RBs and nearly always keeps Manning clean (though that may be the hyperactive speed at which he operates more than their blocking, I don't know). At TE again I think it's different skillsets for different schemes. Our guys are big, physical TEs that can both block and catch (ideally for our system). The Colt TEs seem like they're more used for pass catching as Utecht and Clark aren't known for their blocking that I've ever heard of. I know for sure that our secondary could have used a guy like Bob Sanders at points this season, with all those injuries. That's the one thing that I can say for sure beyond the WRs.
I agree with your assessments. So, tell me, how in the world can the Colts be favored in tomorrow's game? Only two Colts could start for the Pats D.
It's really hard to compare the front 7 in defense because the philosophy is so different. Even Pats contain 3-4 is much different from SD's attacking 3-4. In secondary, Sanders and Harper start on the Pats now. Dallas Clark is used more as a slot receiver, so he is also hard to compare. Their Wrs are obviously better, and not by a little. The Colts line seems to get more push. On the runs outside, it seems like the RBs don't get touched for 3-4 years past LoS; plus, they tend to always be near the top in fewest sacks. It's hard for me to attribute to individuals, but I believe Saturday keeps going to pro bowls.

5 Simply SuperKryptonSteve | 19/05/2011 | See all KryptonSteve's reviews (1)This is a must buy for anny Smallville fan. I have just watched the final episode of the show and was left with an empty feeling because there will be no more. Im not going to give anything away so you have to wait and see for yourselves. Smallville was always about the journey of Clark Kent, NOT Superman. It done this perfectly. As the show went on, it gained alot of heart and soul. The show really captured the essence of the charater and the idea. The cast are all great choices and the writting is superb. This is by far the best Superman related TV show ever. Lois and Clark was good for its time but lacked the heart Smallville has. Go on click the "Buy" button and feel the magic that Smallville gave to us

The Story of how Clark Kent becomes the legendary Man of Steel: Superman is done so brilliantly, with so much emotion, passion it creates a truly magnificent show. The Characters are fantastic, You really feel what they feel especially with Clark and Lana, Clark and Chloe, Clark and Lex and Clark and Lois, you see the lives before Superman, what they did and how they became friends, enemies and a legendary love. The acting is superb, the writing is superb mixing in action, fantasy, comic book sic-fi, humour, romance everything that makes a fantastic show, the music is fantastic, the effects are fantastic the editing is fantastic, Oh and the acting is fantastic, Did i mention that Twice? I did because it is doubly true. I have never ever felt so satisfied at the end of TV show more than Smallville, This show made me a bigger Superman fan, It is literally the Perfect show, buy this box set and have the greatest TV show experience ever!!!!

I didn't read it all, just the cliffs....(5) A concealed firearm may be carried without a permit unless used
to commit a criminal offense; and
I don't agree with this. Sorry gang, but I do think... people that are legally carrying concealed should be able to be identified by LEO as "law abiding". The way this is stated anyone can legally carry concealed unless they use it to commit a crime. So a BG that just committed a murder and has run away, with no one being able to provide a description, can legally put the gun in his waistband or pocket and walk down the street with the sheeple. When LEO approaches for whatever reason, the BG will think it's for the crime previously committed, and just come up shooting. Bang, one dead LEO.
I don't like this part at all. Yes I know it happens anyway, but it shouldn't give the BG a loop hole.

What a brilliant dance. Well done Kate!
Val Whittington - 11/11/2014
Left this one till now as i too was not sure my classes would like the music. But they did really enjoy the dance and seemed to like the music too.So well done Kate for pleasing the majority!!
Jackie Barber - 18/10/2014
We have been doing this one for a while now. Music definitely grows on you. Nothing too difficult, interesting Monterey turns but became easy with practice. Our favourite dance at the moment.
Lois Lightfoot - 17/10/2014
Have to admit I was not too sure about this one at the start; I have after dancing it thought a few times completely changed my mind & it�s fast become one of my favorites. A catchy track that gets into your head, put to well thought out steps that are not as hard as you think is always going to add up to a number one dance job well done kate.
Annette_Dida Nielsen - 09/10/2014
Julie Lockton - 01/10/2014
Fantastic dance from Kate. The steps fit the track and the beat perfectly. A huge hit here in Benidorm. Well done Kate this dance deserves to go to No1. Wishing you great success, well done
Elaine Hornagold - 19/09/2014
Nothing too difficult with this dance, both classes picked it up really well and "Pitbull" seems to be a favourite with line dancers. Glad to see it doing well for Kate.
Norma Purnell - 18/09/2014
Went down extremely well with Intermediate class. Straightforward teach & good pace of music. I wasn't sure about the 'rap', but no complaints! :) Thanks Kate
Denise Nicholls - 17/09/2014
Very popular in classes with nothing too difficult the restart fits perfectly with the side rocks into side rock behind and cross. Introduction just wondered if we really needed it, some didn`t like the full turn with shimmy just my opinion, otherwise fills the floor each time.
M Louise - 16/09/2014
Fun, straightforward dance with only the latter steps catching the classes out. Easily remembered by the bulk of the dancers after a few weeks. The restart is easy and the song is another by Pitbull. Well done Kate.
Linda Garrett - 12/09/2014
This is a great dance from Kate, love the intro, and the dance flows well. Easy restart. I love the voice of John Ryan on this track, not heard of him before.
Julie Curd - 11/09/2014
I love dancing to this really beaty Pitbull track, its not an easy dance for lot of my class so we do a great split floor to Rio. Worth a try.
J Myers - 10/09/2014
i submitted a review of this dance a few weeks ago following my first week teach, the class as i wrote were not sure >> now its the class favorite !!! just goes to show dances can & do " grow on you" THEY LOVE THE FIREBALL SHOUT RE-START ON WALL SIX its fab !!
Paul Worthington - 09/09/2014
What a great dance and music track. Nothing too difficult. Another hit for sure. Nice one Kate.
Maureen Bullock - 06/09/2014
Great piece of music, sort of samba/rap fusion. Straightforward teach, but I found it easier to teach last 2 sections, which slow down to single counts both as step hitch to give a pattern to students, just have to remember you are on count 8 .1 etc. Love how music goes quiet and can hear dancers feet. I easy restart, should be bit hit for Kate.
Phil Marson - 02/09/2014
Great Dance from Kate..Great to learn and dance this with her at Jetsets Nu line all day event recently. Gone well in class.
Mike Parkinson - 02/09/2014
Still going down well at all my classes. I've seen on LDUK teachers are still having problems getting the music. Any problems I can point you in the right direction just email - firstname.lastname@example.com
Margaret Taylor - 31/08/2014
This is just great to dance. The lovely fast paced flow of steps in the main body of the dance fit the rhythmic Latino music to perfection. I love it and hope it does well for Kate.
Wendy Annall - 29/08/2014
It pays to listen to your dancers and follow up their opinions. This one was passed onto me by one of them and truthfully I wouldn't have picked it up as this isn't my kind of music. I gave it a good listening to and it really does have an infectious sound and I love it. Huge success at class and it was danced 3 times that evening. Kate did a great job with it, We were even looking forward to the very noticeable restart because it's so good. Really cool dance Kate, Thanks.
J Myers - 28/08/2014
a very mixed reaction > not sure if the music type has been danced out & my classes are ready now for a different kind of beat ?. will try it again next week >> i think its great but im just the instructor its my dancer's review that matter to me.
Mike Parkinson - 24/08/2014
Had a couple of teaches of Fireball this week and has gone down fantastic with the classes. A catchy Latino track featuring one of my favourites "Pitbull" Nothing too difficult and the dance flows well throughout. Another one not to be missed, I'm sure your classes will enjoy this one from Kate.
David Spencer - 20/08/2014
Was a bit worried at first that the rapping sections may put some off but the rest of the track more than makes up for it. The two sections with the quarter coaster steps keep it interesing, and even with an introduction, a restart and an ending - its not a hard teach. Should be another deserved hit for Kate.

July 16 is the date that Paul McCartney will bring his "Out There" tour to Miller Park, according to a source with knowledge of the situation Friday.
The concert would fall during the Major League Baseball All-Star break. The Brewers' last home game before the break is July 10, leaving a five-day window for setting up what will be a massive production.
McCartney's Miller Park appearance will be his first concert in Milwaukee since playing the BMO Harris Bradley Center in 2005; he also played there in 2002.
Word of the Milwaukee show surfaced Thursday night. The concert is part of a tour that is taking McCartney to other baseball stadiums in the United States. He played County Stadium in 1993.
Neither the date nor the show itself has been confirmed by the tour's promoter, Live Nation. An announcement is scheduled at 10 a.m. Monday at Miller Park.

Recombination in Hepatitis C Virus

Abstract: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a Flavivirus with a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome of about 9,600 nucleotides. It is a major cause of liver disease, infecting almost 200 million people all over the world. Similarly to most RNA viruses, HCV displays very high levels of genetic diversity which have been used to differentiate six major genotypes and about 80 subtypes. Although the different genotypes and subtypes share basic biological and pathogenic features they differ in clinical outcomes, response to treatment and epidemiology. The first HCV recombinant strain, in which different genome segments derived from parentals of different genotypes, was described in St. Petersburg (Russia) in 2002. Since then, there have been only a few more than a dozen reports including descriptions of HCV recombinants at all levels: between genotypes, between subtypes of the same genotype and even between strains of the same subtype. Here, we review the literature considering the reasons underlying the difficulties for unequivocally establishing recombination in this virus along with the analytical methods necessary to do it. Finally, we analyze the potential consequences, especially in clinical practice, of HCV recombination in light of the coming new therapeutic approaches against this virus.

Brown backs Tigers squad
19 Apr 2007 - 07:15:50
Hull City manager Phil Brown accepts his side are under severe pressure in their bid to beat the drop, but has backed his Tigers outfit to survive.
City are outside the bottom three on goal difference only, with their last games at Stoke City and Cardiff city and finally at home to Plymouth Argyle.
Brown told the Hull Daily Mail: "You are going to have signs of nerves and tension, but I look at newspapers in the build-up to games and everyone is under pressure.
"I came in here halfway through the season and because of our start, it was always going to be a relegation battle this season.
"We've still got enough to survive. With three games to go, people are telling me how many points we need, but we'll take each game as it comes."

A competitive country picks winners
PUBLISHED: 15 Aug 2012 00:02:51 | UPDATED: 15 Aug 2012 14:19:04PUBLISHED: 15 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 15 Aug 2012David Gonski
Beyond the daily debate about what drives our economy, there are, to my mind, five issues fundamental to Australia's ability to compete globally.
The first issue is the short-termism from which we suffer in every aspect of this country.
Nations that look to the long term have a better chance to be globally competitive because of the focus it brings and because it reduces the costs of changing, stopping and starting again.
Some will attribute our short-termism to the three- and four-year terms of parliaments. But the issue is a broader one.
We expect listed companies to grow annually and we abhor dips in profit along the way. The reporting cycles for listed companies lead managers to think in the short term.
Funds managers are graded not just on annual, but sometimes monthly results. Many of those selecting managers on the basis of these shorter-term results are in fact focused on providing for retirement benefits in more than 20 years' time, yet their essential view is short term.
To be globally competitive, we must think longer-term, which will allow us to cope with short-term aberrations in currency and markets.
The second issue concerns our small population and market size. Looking at the global strength of American companies over many years it has often been the strength of domestic earnings that prepared them and gave them resources to move into the world.
Our competitiveness abroad to date is really quite remarkable given the often limited base in Australia.
However, that limited size must be borne in mind by companies that face diminution of growth in our country and assume they have the capacity to compete overseas.
In my view, our competition overseas has to involve something other than just the assumption that we can compete in everything. Our mineral and pastoral resources provide a real advantage; their abundance, quality, and cost of extraction are good examples of distinctiveness.
However, we cannot be all things to all people. We have to work harder to identify the difference that allows us to compete. This leads to the third issue. We need to pick winners.
Comparatively small economies have positioned themselves by picking winners and establishing themselves as financial centres and hubs for intellectual property. Singapore and Israel are examples.
Australia tends towards a generalist approach that may be right in some circumstances but affects our ability to compete abroad.
We have incredible research facilities in our universities, the CSIRO and our larger companies.
If Australia were to pick winners, research and the exploitation of that research would undoubtedly be at the forefront and the retention of patents, the products and the knowledge from this would allow a small country to compete globally.
The university sector provides another example and we must ensure that our universities can continue to compete strongly for top students around the world.
Foreign students must be welcome here as honoured guests. Not only do these students contribute through their spending, but they can become the best advocates for Australia in their home countries.
This brings me to my fourth issue: xenophobia. It is more than a year since I and others sought to merge the Australian Securities Exchange with the Singapore Stock Exchange. While that is history, media commentary at that time highlighted that many in business did not like the transaction as they were wary of a global approach to business and of embracing our near neighbours.
My experience is that if we want to deal with people in the world, we have to embrace them, not be scared of them. We must celebrate their strengths and share ours with them. The focus must be on what can be achieved rather than the myopic view that we can do it alone.
This brings me to the last of my five issues. Australia is a lucky country. But sometimes when you have plenty you don't compete as hard. On the question of long-term planning, our need to pick winners and exploit our strengths reflects the realisation that luck can both run out and also be a springboard to greater achievements.
Take school education. The school systems of other countries are beginning to produce better results than ours. Growing parts of our community are not getting the full benefit of a top education. We have a springboard to make our education system great, lifting productivity and changing lives.
These fundamental issues stand between us and lasting global competitiveness. The challenge is to lift our minds to address them.
David Gonski is chairman of the Future Fund and chancellor of the University of NSW. This is based on a recent speech he gave to the Australian Graduate School of Management's 35th anniversary celebration.

Why is the Sky Blue?
To see how the scattering of light can divide light into its different colors, causing the sky to have different colors. For the more advanced student, one can relate this to the different wavelengths of light. Also included: experiments on refraction and reflection.
List of Materials:
Procedure 1:
Sift flour or chalk dust over the flashlight beam so that the particles fall through (Scattering) it. See how the light flashes as it hits each particle.
Procedure 2:
Fill the soda bottle with water and add a small amount of milk to the water.
(Scattering) Shake the bottle to mix them up. If you place the flashlight so that is shines through the side you will see blue light being scattered. You may have to keep adding milk until you see this. For a sunset, continue adding more milk until the side of the bottle starts to scatter oranges and then reds.
Procedure 3:
Fill a smooth sided wine glass with water. Add a few drops of WHOLE milk to the
(refraction) glass. With a laser pointer, shine the laser perpendicular to the glass to see the laser light go through the liquid. Now shine the light at an angle to the side of the glass, and observe the laser light from the top of the glass. The light will bend towards the middle of the liquid. This is REFRACTION - the bending of light as it passes from one substance (glass) to another (liquid). It is caused because light travels at different speeds depending on the density of what it is traveling through.
Procedure 4:
Shine the laser pointer at an angle up from the bottom of the wine glass towards the
(reflection) top of the glass. You will see the laser light REFLECT off of the top of the liquid back down towards the bottom of the glass. Specifically, this is an INTERNAL REFLECTION, since the reflection takes place within the water.
Scattering is the dispersal of particles in a variety of directions. When the flashlight shines on the flour, you see white flashes as the light hits the particles. In the atmosphere, it isn't chalk dust or flour that scatters, but the different kinds of molecules that make up the air. Light is made up of all the colors of the rainbow, each with its own wavelength. This is called the electromagnetic spectrum. When the path length of sunlight is the shortest, the middle of the day, the sky is blue, because of shorter wavelengths being scattered. At sunrise and sunset, when the sun has more distance to travel through the atmosphere, the shorter wavelengths are scattered out, leaving the longer oranges and reds.
Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through two materials of different density. As the light passes from the less dense air to the more dense water, it slows down. This is why it is hard to spear a fish or pick up an object in the bottom of an aquarium. The refraction also causes the light to separate into colors. When added with an internal reflection, you have all of the necessary ingredients to make a rainbow!
Wavelengths and the corresponding colors*
Color | Wavelength interval** | Typical wavelength** |
Violet | 0.390 - 0.455 | 0.430 |
Dark Blue | 0.455 - 0.485 | 0.470 |
Light Blue | 0.485 - 0.505 | 0.495 |
Green | 0.505 - 0.550 | 0.530 |
Yellow Green | 0.550 - 0.575 | 0.560 |
Yellow | 0.575 - 0.585 | 0.580 |
Orange | 0.585 - 0.620 | 0.600 |
Red | 0.620 - 0.760 | 0.640 |
** Measured in Micrometers (10-6 Meters)
1 micrometer is approximately 0.000039 inches!
White light is composed of all of the colors.
* From Wallace and Hobbes, "Atmospheric Science," Academic Press, New York, 1977.
Extra Credit:
Students can study the Law of Reflection and Law of Refraction to better understand the optics involved in atmospheric phenomenon. See if they can explain how halos, sun dogs, solar pillars and glories are formed using the laws of reflection and refraction.

Ansley Park is one of Atlanta's most upscale neighborhoods—but in one gleaming mansion, in a teenager's lavish bedroom, a girl has been savagely murdered. And in the hallway, her mother stands amid shattered glass, having killed her daughter's attacker with her bare hands. Detective Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is one of the first on the scene. Trent soon sees something that the Atlanta cops are missing, something in the trail of blood, in a matrix of forensic evidence, and in the eyes of the stunned mother. When another teenage girl goes missing, Trent knows that this case, which started in the best of homes, is about to cut quick and deep through the ruins of perfect lives broken wide-open: where human demons emerge with a vengeance.

In fact, the quick test I made was on an older system that uses 18.104.22.168, but I do have it running fine on a full LFS 6.4 system. The current development BLFS targets LFS-6.4 so its best to use that combination right now. -- Bruce

It is with great trepidation and regret that I begin this column by breaking the most important rule of column-writing.
I'm asking for your advice.
Columnists never need anyone's advice. By his or her very nature, a columnist is a smarty-pants know-it-all who gives unsolicited advice to strangers. No one ever asks for our advice, but we offer it anyway because we think we know everything. No, we know that we know everything.
Well, I'm stumped on something, and I'm asking for your help. I really am perplexed about this, and I certainly am capable of wasting 800 snarky words on the subject. But my curiosity has gotten the best of me, and I truly would like for you to help me.
Please explain why I should care about the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29 in Westminster Abbey?
Seriously, I want to understand the fuss that is being made over this royal wedding, not just by the media but by the American public.
From the moment the engagement was announced at a well-manicured press conference on Nov. 16, the national media have inundated us with "news" on the pending nuptials. OK, I understand why celebrity-obsessed magazines and TV networks are going crazy. It's all about money. Kate Middleton on a cover sells magazines.
But that doesn't explain why regular people care. There is no good reason why people would follow the media's lead on this matter, unless they genuinely care about this wedding. And that's what boggles my little brain.
One can grasp the concept of a popular royal wedding in England. It's part of their history. It's in their nature to idolize the royal family. And, in this case, we're talking about their future king.
However, he's not my future king. Bruce Springsteen may be my boss, but Prince William of Wales is not my king. And he is not YOUR king. I also don't care that he is marrying a commoner. I'm a commoner. I assume that you are a commoner. Why is she getting special treatment by the media?
Believe me, I understand that a royal wedding is seen as a diversion from the difficulties we face in the real world, but don't we have diversions of our own? Why was "Dancing with the Stars" created, if not as a diversion from a bad economy, lost jobs, three wars and nuclear meltdowns?
Imagine that I am lying prone metaphorically in a position of humility when I ask for your help. It fills me with pain – not quite kidney-stone pain, but perhaps a good headache pain – to ask for your help because it signals weakness in the columnist world.
I realize that the son of the beloved Princess Diana is automatically a favorite among the people, but to be honest, the public loved Lady Di long before she had children. Her wedding 30 years ago was huge. A reported 750 million people watched the wedding on television, but I haven't believed exaggerated numbers like those since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences started touting their one billion viewers for the Oscars. Why would 750 million people no longer under the thumb of the British Empire care that this beautiful young woman was marrying Prince Charles, who is not exactly the most charismatic or popular human being on the planet?
The only number I believe is the burgers served by McDonald's. I'm sure they use reputable accounting practices to determine that.
This obsession and fascination with royal weddings didn't start with Charles and Diana. The marriage of Charles' parents, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip, was just as big an event. I'll bet 750 million people listened to it on radio.

With Europe's economic and debt crisis, termed as one of the most difficult since World War II, deepening with each passing day, the 27-member bloc is increasingly looking towards economically strong Germany to show the way out of the woods.
The Germany Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has been quoted in the local newspapers terming the current debt as "Europe's most difficult hours since World War II" and insisting that Europe should address the present crisis on the long term basis instead of "one quick solution after another".
With Italy and Greece still struggling to come to terms with the economic crisis that has hit them badly, Germany with a health 3 per cent gross domestic product (GDP) growth in 2011 continues doing well with predictions that the crisis is likely to have an adverse impact on the growth in 2012. "The situation is very worrisome in the Euro zone. A lot of uncertainty prevails even as Germany is doing well. We have had an excellent 2011 and the projections for 2012 could bring down growth to around 1.2 per cent in view of the economic turmoil being witnessed around the globe," Germany's Head of Foreign Trade Division, Berend Diekmann told visiting Indian journalists.
In fact, industrial production in Euro zone plunged 2 per cent in September from August, one of the steepest slides since February 2009. "The dates suggests the euro-zone will soon fall back into another fairly deep recession," The Wall Street Journal quoted Economist at Capital Economics, Ben May as saying.
Germany, as Europe's biggest economy, has been instrumental in setting the agenda for the rescue measures that are needed and has insisted on major reforms, which are termed painful, in exchange for financial aid to the troubled nations. Indicating that growing role and influence of Germany in the Euro debt crisis, Volker Kauder, the Parliamentary leader of Merkel's conservative bloc, said: "now German is being spoken in Europe -- not in terms of the language, but in the acceptance of the instruments for which Chancellor Merkel has fought for so long and then successfully."
However, there is resistance to some German stances. Officials from countries including France and Ireland have argued that the ECB's unlimited firepower should ultimately be brought to bear to bring down the cost of borrowing for pressured nations, such as Italy.
But Germany is facing opposition to its idea of reforms for resolving the debt crisis from countries France and Ireland who argue that the European Central Bank (ECB) should be intervene strongly to bring down the cost of borrowing for pressured countries like Italy, Greece and lately Spain, a strand that Germany feels will stoke inflation and not resolve the real financial crisis and issue of budget management.

I am helping my boyfriend research his family. His Fuentes family comes from Coahuila, Mexico. I have been able to find his great grandfather, BLAS FUENTES' marriage record in Parras, Coahuila, Mex in 1922. He married, Maria Mercedes Vasquez. His parents on the record say Margarito Fuentes (deceased at time of marriage) and his mother Dolores Leza (Lesa). It also states that Blas was from Saltillo, Coahuila, Mex. I am unable to find his birth record in Saltillo. I believe he was born in 1902-1903. My boyfriend is from Brownsville, TX and has relatives in Port Isabel and San Antonio. His grandmother is Guadalupe Fuentes and lived in Matamoros, Tamaulipas at one point before coming to Texas in 1961. His father does not know who his father is. His Fuentes name is from his grandmother. We are trying to piece together this puzzle, but is has been difficult. His grandmother won't disclose the name... Thank you in advance.

Display DriversBettering Radeon Gallium3D Performance With PCI-E 2.0While it will not take you up to the speeds of the Catalyst driver, besides the 2D color tiling patches, there are a few other outstanding features not yet enabled-by-default in the open-source Radeon graphics driver that can yield some performance boosts. One of these other features is enabling PCI Express 2.0 support within the Radeon DRM.
20 January 2012 - 59 Comments Radeon Gallium3D: A Half-Decade Behind Catalyst?What happens when you pull out some vintage computer hardware and run the latest Linux software as well as go back and run some of the oldest software available? Well, in the case of systems with antiquated R300-era ATI Radeon graphics, you are left with a downward slope in performance. Not only is the latest open-source Radeon graphics driver not always performing as well as an ancient Catalyst driver, but also the power consumption of the latest Linux code remains on an incline.
19 January 2012 - 51 Comments Intel Sandy Bridge Shines With Mesa 8.0Now that the Nouveau, Radeon, and LLVMpipe graphics drivers have been tested under Mesa 8.0, what is left? The Intel DRI driver, of course! The open-source Sandy Bridge Linux graphics support is shining with Mesa 8.0 thanks to OpenGL 3.0 support and measurable performance improvements. Intel Ivy Bridge is also ready to run under Linux.
18 January 2012 - 7 Comments Using The New Radeon Gallium3D 2D Color TilingPatches finally arrived last week for 2D color tiling in the Radeon R600 Gallium3D driver. The patches were then re-based this past weekend and benchmarked by Phoronix. Will the 2D color tiling patches, which affect the Linux kernel, Mesa, libdrm, and xf86-video-ati DDX make the more recent Radeon graphics cards more competitive under open-source to the Catalyst driver?
17 January 2012 - 15 Comments Nouveau For Open-Source NVIDIA In Mesa 8.0 Is MixedAfter looking last week at the ATI/AMD Radeon Gallium3D performance under Mesa 8.0 and comparing its performance to Mesa 7.11 and the closed-source AMD Catalyst driver, along with the LLVMpipe driver performance, we're now focusing upon the Nouveau Gallium3D implementation that seeks to provide open-source NVIDIA hardware support.

Levi's Stadium is a football stadium in Santa Clara, California which serves as the current home of the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League.
In 2006, the 49ers initially proposed constructing a new stadium at Candlestick Point in San Francisco, the site of their now-former home, Candlestick Park. The project, which included plans for retail space and housing improvements, was considered to have been of great potential benefit to the nearby historically blighted neighborhood of Hunters Point. After negotiations with the city of San Francisco fell through, the 49ers focused their attention on a site adjacent to their administrative offices and training facility in Santa Clara, a South Bay city adjacent to San Jose.
In June 2010, Santa Clara voters approved a measure authorizing the city government to lease land to the 49ers Stadium Authority to construct a new football stadium. The necessary funds were secured in December 2011, allowing construction to start in April 2012.[6] Levi's Stadium opened on July 17, 2014.[6]
Levi's Stadium is scheduled to host Super Bowl 50 on February 7, 2016,[12][13] The 2015 NHL Stadium Series featuring the Los Angeles Kings and the San Jose Sharks on February 21, 2015, and WrestleMania 31 on March 29, 2015,[14] and will be the new permanent home of college football's annual San Francisco Bowl.[15] Levi's Stadium will also serve as the site of the Pacific-12 Football Championship Game for at least three years, beginning in 2014. Previously the game was played at the home stadium of the division winner with the better record entering the game.[16][17]
The stadium was designed by HNTB, an internationally renowned architectural firm, with a focus on creating a multi-purpose venue and with the fan experience and green technology as top priorities. Civil engineering work was performed by Winzler & Kelly, which was acquired by GHD Group in 2011. Commissioning services were provide by Glumac.
Levi's Stadium is designed as an open stadium with a natural grass field. It has a seating capacity of 68,500, expandable to approximately 75,000 to host major events like WrestleMania, the Super Bowl and the FIFA World Cup. The seating design of the stadium places approximately two‐thirds of the fans in the lower bowl, which is one of the largest of its kind in the entire NFL. The design features significantly improved accessibility and seating options for fans with special needs and disabilities when compared to Candlestick Park. The configuration is similar to Ford Field, home of the NFL's Detroit Lions, with the majority of the luxury suites on one side of the field, which puts the fans in the upper deck closer to the action.
As a multi-use facility, the stadium can be configured for special touring events including concerts, motocross events, and other community events. The stadium is also designed to meet the FIFA field geometry requirements for international soccer, which will allow it to host international friendly matches and major tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup. The stadium will also feature over 109,000 square feet (10,100 m2) of flexible premium meeting space in the club areas.[18]
Stadium proponents and those who expect to profit from the construction of the stadium claim that the stadium is currently one of the largest buildings registered with the U.S. Green Building Council. It is also believed to be the first stadium that will have both a green roof and solar panels. The 49ers are exploring collaborative opportunities with the Environmental Protection Agency to explore environmentally friendly components including:[18]
Stadium patrons have the option of riding the VTA Light Rail to the stadium. The closest light rail station is the Great America station just west of the station in the median of Tasman Drive.
To the east, other transit options include the Amtrak and ACE station (near California's Great America and the Lick Mill station operated by VTA).
Station name | Agency name |
Great America | VTA Light Rail |
Santa Clara - Great America | ACE |
Santa Clara - Great America | Amtrak |
The stadium sits on Tasman Drive, a major east-west arterial road which connects to Interstate 880 several miles to the east. Both west and east of the stadium, Tasman intersects with various north-south arterial roads which connect to the region's most important freeways, such as U.S. Route 101, California State Route 237, and Interstate 280. The closest and most important of those north-south roads is Great America Parkway to the west of the stadium, which is named after the theme park to the south.
On May 8, 2013, the 49ers announced that San Francisco-based Levi Strauss & Co. purchased the naming rights to the new stadium. The deal calls for Levi's to pay $220.3 million to the city of Santa Clara and the 49ers over 20 years, with an option to extend the deal for another five years for around $75 million.[19]
The San Francisco 49ers played at Candlestick Park from 1971-2013. The stadium was a sentimental fan favorite and housed all 5 Super Bowl Championship teams. It was, however, the oldest unrenovated stadium in the NFL and was beginning to show its age.
The 49ers pursued a new stadium since 1997, when a plan for a stadium and a mall at Candlestick Point passed a public vote. When the plans failed to move forward, the San Francisco 49ers presented an alternative plan on July 18, 2006, to construct a new 68,500-seat, open air stadium as part of a mixed use development featuring housing, commercial and retail space. In November 2006 the team announced that plans for a new stadium at Candlestick Point was not feasible, "citing extensive costs for infrastructure, parking accommodations and other changes that would cost more than the stadium itself".[20] The 49ers turned their focus to making Santa Clara the home to their new stadium.
San Francisco voters in 1997 approved $100 million in city spending to build a new stadium and an attached shopping mall at Candlestick Point. However, even after voter approval to grant economic help for the project, the stadium was not constructed. This was because owner Eddie DeBartolo, Jr. was facing legal troubles, which led him to surrender ownership of the team to his sister Denise DeBartolo York and brother-in-law John York. Mills Corporation, the company chosen by the 49ers, was unable to put together a plan to successfully construct a new stadium for the team.[21] NFL owners had gone as far as awarding the new stadium the rights to host Super Bowl XXXVII. When stadium plans stalled, the game went to Qualcomm Stadium instead.
For years, the city and team ownership were embattled over attempts to gain funding and a green-light for construction of a new stadium. None of these attempts proved to be successful.[citation needed]
The city of San Francisco received a new incentive to get a new stadium built. Mayor Gavin Newsom wanted to bring the 2016 Summer Olympics to the city, and a new stadium would sweeten the city's proposal for selection by the United States Olympic Committee as the official US submission to the IOC. The announcement came in November 2006, with the new 49ers stadium as the centerpiece of an Olympics bid, and the construction of the Olympic village would be converted into low-income housing after the games were over.[22]
The new 68,500-seat stadium was to be built at Candlestick Point on land just southeast of Candlestick Park. The cost of the stadium would be $916 million. Lennar Corporation would build housing, retail, and office space around the stadium area.[21] Originally, part of the area surrounding Candlestick Park was to be zoned for retail space and housing; the new 49ers stadium was to be combined with such elements, bringing much-needed attractions to the historically blighted neighborhood of Hunters Point.[23]
The stadium would be stocked with 150 luxury suites, 7,500 premium club seats, and an increased amount of seats lower and closer to the field, called "bowl seating," potentially raising the 49ers franchise value up as much as $250 million and offering at least $300 million in advertising and concession deals, the majority of which from paid corporate naming.[24] The architectural design would be reminiscent of San Francisco buildings.
The project planning did not get off to a good start, however, with contention between the 49ers and the city of San Francisco over viable locations for the new stadium. Initially, the idea was to build a stadium in the parking lot of Candlestick Park and later demolish the aging stadium. Team ownership feared that construction of the village and the stadium would severely limit the amount of land available in Candlestick Point, creating a parking problem for fans and increasing traffic along the roads that link the stadium to the freeway. Moreover, with residents in the low-income housing by 2016, traffic would be permanently increased, further damaging the already-limited methods of transportation to the park.[25]
With San Francisco slow to come up with better locations for the stadium or ways to circumvent the problems posed by a construction at Candlestick Point, team owners Denise DeBartolo York and John York announced on November 9, 2006, that the 49ers were shifting their efforts to create a new stadium to the city of Santa Clara, home to the team offices and training facility since 1987, approximately 40 miles (64 km) south of San Francisco.
The sudden removal of the planned stadium forced the San Francisco Olympics bid group to cancel its proposal,[26] which engendered great anger not only from Mayor Newsom, but also from such 49ers legends as Joe Montana and Ronnie Lott, who were part of the effort to bring the Olympics to the Bay Area. In addition, many fans were outraged at the suggestion to move the 49ers out of the city that it had shared history with for decades. The Yorks insisted that the legacy of the franchise would be respected in the sense that the 49ers would not be renamed nor moved out of the Bay Area. This was met with much opposition from Mayor Newsom and Senator Dianne Feinstein (who was mayor of San Francisco between 1978 and 1988); the senator stated that the team should be unable to use the San Francisco name if its operations were not based in the city.[27] On January 3, 2007, California State Senator Carole Migden introduced a bill, entitled SB49, that would bar the 49ers from building a new stadium within a 100-mile (160 km) radius of San Francisco, if they were to leave the city. The 49ers organization announced its strong opposition to the legislation and retorted that passing such a bill would only encourage the team to move out of the Bay Area altogether.[28]
The Santa Clara stadium project has been in the works since 2007, with negotiations beginning in 2008. Two years have produced the following documents that were key to understanding the stadium deal that went before the voters of Santa Clara on June 8, 2010. All documents cited below are publicly available on the City of Santa Clara's website.
Most city council members in Santa Clara were extremely receptive to the possibility of a new stadium being constructed there for the 49ers. In 2009, the Santa Clara City Council, led by Mayor Patricia Mahan, along with city employees began negotiating in earnest with the team, who presented the city with stadium plans. On June 2, 2009, by a 5 to 2 vote, the Santa Clara city council agreed to preliminary terms (as detailed in a term sheet[33]). The official term sheet states that the team's name will not change; the team will continue to be called the San Francisco 49ers even when the move to Santa Clara is complete.[34][35]
The Santa Clara stadium was constructed on a city-owned parking lot on Tasman Drive, located adjacent to the north of California's Great America theme park and leased to Great America for overflow parking. As with Candlestick Park, there are relatively few amenities in the stadium's immediate vicinity for sports fans, besides the 49ers headquarters and training facility. The Santa Clara Convention Center is northwest of the stadium site and there are two hotels on Tasman Drive next to the convention center, but the closest significant concentration of hotels and restaurants is on the Mission College Boulevard corridor almost a mile to the south, on the other side of Great America.
In December 2009, the owner of the theme park filed a lawsuit to stop the project from proceeding.[36] However, the lawsuit was dismissed in court.
On December 15, 2009, the Santa Clara City Council voted 5 to 2 to withdraw their city-sponsored ballot measure on the stadium issue in favor of a ballot initiative, Measure J.[37] The ballot initiative was voted on on June 8, 2010 and passed by 58% of Santa Clara voters.[38][39] Santa Clara City Council members William Kennedy and Jamie McLeod had opposed the stadium project and worked (unsuccessfully) to get Measure J defeated.[40]
Measure J is a binding, voter-initiated measure that was approved by voters in the City of Santa Clara. All documents cited below are publicly available on the City of Santa Clara's official website.
Measure J (June 8, 2010)[43] | ||
Choice | Votes | % |
Yes | 14,782 | 58.2 |
No | 10,505 | 41.8 |
Total votes | 25,133 | 100.00 |
There was a possibility that the 49ers' Bay Area rivals, the Oakland Raiders, might share the stadium, allowing its costs to be split between the two teams.[44] The 49ers[44] and Raiders[45] have publicly said it would be an option if possible, while NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is strongly in favor of the two sharing a stadium.[46] Fans of both teams reacted negatively to the idea. Along with the New York metropolitan area (where the New York Giants and New York Jets shared Giants Stadium from 1984–2009 and currently share its successor, MetLife Stadium, which both teams financed), the Bay Area is one of two NFL markets with two teams.
The 49ers and Raiders sharing a stadium would not be unprecedented, as the two shared Kezar Stadium for part of 1960.[47] It would also fulfill the late Raiders owner Al Davis' elusive goal of a new stadium, something he had strongly desired since moving the team from Los Angeles back to Oakland in 1995.[48] The Raiders, as it stands, play at O.co Coliseum and are the only NFL team still sharing its home field with a Major League Baseball team; the Raiders' lease on the Coliseum expires after the 2014 season.[49]
In the wake of Davis' death, the possibility of the 49ers and Raiders sharing the stadium became a stronger possibility, as the Raiders would be more receptive to the idea. However, by October 2011, the 49ers were far enough along on the stadium to have reportedly already sold over a quarter of the luxury suites, meaning the Raiders would be forced to be secondary tenants.[50] In October 2012, Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis told reporters he had no plans to share the Santa Clara stadium with the 49ers. According to the report, discussions have remained open, although Davis wants to keep the team in Oakland, or a nearby site in Dublin, California.[51]
When the stadium had its grand opening on July 17, 2014, Goodell mentioned to the live crowd that it would make a great home for the Raiders and that it is up for the team to decide whether or not it wants to play there or build a stadium on the site of the O.co Coliseum. While the 49ers remain open to sharing the stadium with the Raiders, the Raiders have said that their personal preference would be the Coliseum site.[52]
In December 2011, the Santa Clara City Council voted for an agreement that calls for the city's Stadium Authority to borrow $850,000,000 from Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and U.S. Bank. This will cover most of the construction costs, with the remainder to be made up via funding from the NFL, a hotel tax and city redevelopment funds. Interest, fees and terms for this loan have not been disclosed.[53][54] The $850,000,000 building loan, plus interest and fees will be assumed by the City's Stadium Authority, where additional interest and fees will be applied. On February 2, 2012, NFL owners approved a loan to the 49ers of $200,000,000, for use in constructing the new stadium, and to be taken from a new G-4 stadium loan fund.[55] Terms of the loan were not specified, but under the previous G-3 plan, money was repaid directly into the league's account from the borrowing team's share of gate receipts from road games.
Construction began soon after funding for the stadium had been confirmed. The official groundbreaking took place on April 19, 2012.[6] On July 30, 2012, the first steel beams for the stadium were laid down.[56] The first seats in Levi's Stadium were installed on October 1, 2013.
Construction was halted on June 11, 2013, after a mechanic working on an elevator was struck by a counterweight and then fell down the shaft to his death.[57] Work resumed two days later after officials from the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) declared the site safe, but as of October 2013, the accident remained under investigation.[58][59]
The stadium opened on July 17, 2014.[60] It was originally scheduled to open on July 11, but was pushed back due to construction delays. The first game played at the new stadium was a Major League Soccer match on August 2, 2014, where the San Jose Earthquakes defeated the Seattle Sounders FC 1–0 before a crowd of 48,765. The inaugural goal was scored in the 42nd minute by Yannick Djalo.[61]
On August 17, 2014 the 49ers lost their first preseason game, 34–0, against the Denver Broncos at Levi's Stadium. Incidentally, one fan at the game collapsed due to the heat and had to be rushed to a local hospital, where he died.[62]
The first 49ers' regular-season game at the stadium was held during Week 2 on September 14, 2014, when the team hosted the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football.[63] The Bears won the game 28–20[64] in front of a 49ers home record attendance of 70,799.[65]
In November 2013, stadium and 49ers' officials initially requested the NFL to not schedule any Monday or Thursday night home games during Levi's Stadium's inaugural season due to parking issues in the area surrounding the stadium during weekdays.[66] Two months later, in January 2014, the Santa Clara city government was able to secure more than the 21,000 necessary parking spots by approving use of the fairways at the city-owned Santa Clara Golf and Tennis Club (which is located to the north of the stadium across Tasman Drive). This arrangement is similar to and was modeled upon a longstanding arrangement between the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California and the adjacent Brookside Golf Course, where the golf course was modified to allow for vehicular access to the fairways, they are used for parking only when dry to minimize damage, and any damage that does occur is repaired afterward.
With access to the golf course fairways, Levi's Stadium now had 31,600 potential parking spaces, meaning that tailgating and weeknight games were now a possibility. However, the NFL decided not to schedule any weeknight home games at Levi's Stadium in 2014 until traffic flow within the area is figured out, with the exception of a Thanksgiving game between the 49ers and Seattle Seahawks on November 27, 2014. Parking prices, which averaged $30 in the 49ers' final season at Candlestick Park, will increase to $40 at Levi's Stadium.[67]
Anticipating significant traffic from Levi's Stadium visitors, the nearby city of Mountain View instituted a three-hour parking limit on downtown streets during game days. While residents received exemptions via permit tags, stadium-goers must park in paid lots or far from Mountain View's Caltrain/VTA light rail station. This station is the closest VTA light rail station to San Francisco and receives transferring passengers heading south to San Jose via light rail (including people using the light rail to go directly to the Levi's Stadium station).[68]
On October 16, 2012, it was announced that Levi's Stadium was one of two finalists to host Super Bowl 50 on February 7, 2016 (the other stadium finalist being Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida).[69][70] On May 21, 2013, it was announced that the San Francisco Bay Area had defeated South Florida in a vote of NFL owners in its bid to host Super Bowl 50.[71]
Levi's Stadium will host WWE's WrestleMania 31 on March 29, 2015. This will mark the first time WrestleMania is hosted in Northern California. The area will also host activities throughout the region for the week-long celebration leading up to WrestleMania itself.[72]
Levi's Stadium will host the 2015 NHL Stadium Series' February 21 game between the Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks.[73]
On July 31, 2014, the San Jose Earthquakes agreed to play one match per year for five years at Levi's Stadium.[74] On September 6, 2014, an international friendly between Mexico and Chile was held.[75]

Looking for Christmas names for your holiday-season babe? Well, you can forget about those old chestnut choices likeNoel/Noelle, Holly, Natalie, Eve, Merry, Carol and Claus. A much more original idea might be to look at some of the classic and current Christmas movies for interesting character names that would do the job more subtly. But don't worry– we're not suggesting Ebenezer or Clarence.
Alonzo was the name of both the father and the brother (both called by nickname Lon) in the Smith family in this "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" flick, "Meet Me in St. Louis," starring Judy Garland. This dashing Latinate name, which has always ranked in the Top 1000, is ready for wider use. Don't like Lon? You can call me Al.

What makes a name a true classic?
Very few names have been in constant use, and those few evergreen choices differ across cultures and languages.
A definition is elusive. A classic should be universally recognized and long established. It should possess either a measure of elegance or another distinguishing characteristic. But classic isn't a black and white line. In baby name discussions, classic sometimes translates as "a name I like."
Are Adelaide and Charlotte as classic as Mary? How do Walter and Jeremy compare to William and James? How about names like Samantha or Brooke – seldom heard before the twentieth century, but now solidly established? How many years does it take to make a classic, bearing in mind that classic rock is sometimes as young as five decades old.

In 1880, there were five boy names that started with F in the Top 100:
In 1932, Franklin was added to the mix (probably due to President Roosevelt, who is pictured here as a baby). In 1958, Frank was the only F boy name left in the top, and it finally fell after 1988. There hasn't been an F boy name in the Top 100 since.

We love to talk about celebrities who choose far-out names for their children. But how about those who take the royal route, giving their kids names that are more Buckingham Palace than Hollywood play date?
I thought there might be oodles of starbabies with monarch-worthy monikers. But if we've learned anything from the Great Kate Wait, it's that the list of possible names for a new prince or princess is pretty short.
Plenty of high profile parents play it safe, sticking with popular picks like Ava and Zoe, or traditional names like Daniel and Joseph. But despite their popularity and long history of use, those aren't names fit for a future king or queen
Many of the names rumored to be on the royal shortlist are rare in Tinsel Town. Alexandra, Caroline, Victoria, Diana, and Anne are seldom heard, and the same is true for the boys' list. Then again, actor Sean Astin has three regally named girls, and Eva Herzigova's three sons all wear royal appellations, too.
