Adriana Lima (born June 12, 1981) is a Brazilian model and actress who is best known as a Victoria's Secret Angel since 2000, and as a spokesmodel for Maybelline cosmetics from 2003 to 2009. At the age of 15, Lima finished first in Ford's "Supermodel of Brazil" competition, and took second place the following year in the Ford "Supermodel of the World" competition before signing with Elite Model Management in New York City. Since 2005, Lima has ranked in the top five of Forbes' lists of the 20 highest-earning models in the world, and in 2006 ranked No.99 on the Forbes Celebrity 100. She is married to Serbian basketball player Marko Jarić.
Lima never thought about being a model, although she had won many beauty pageants in elementary school. However, she had a friend at school who wanted to enter a modeling contest and did not want to enter alone, so Lima entered with her. Both sent in pictures, and the contest sponsor soon asked Lima to come out for the competition. Soon after, at the age of 15, she entered and finished in first place in Ford's "Supermodel of Brazil" model search. She subsequently entered the 1996 Ford "Supermodel of the World" contest and finished in second place. Three years later, Lima moved to New York City and signed with Elite Model Management. After acquiring representation, Lima's modeling portfolio quickly began to expand, and she appeared in numerous international editions of Vogue and Marie Claire. As a runway model, she has walked the catwalks for designers such as Vera Wang, Giorgio Armani and Valentino, among others. Lima became a GUESS? girl in 2000, appearing in that year's fall ad campaign. She also appeared in the book A Second Decade of Guess? Images.

5 Types of Japanese Ghosts
Subscribe to our newsletter
Traditional Japanese beliefs state that every human being has a soul called reikon. After death, the reikon exits the body and enters a state of purgatory, where it awaits the body's funeral and final rites. If completed properly, the reikon becomes satisfied and meets peace and becomes a protector of the family from which it came.
However, if a person dies an unnatural death or the final rites aren't properly conducted, the reikon becomes a yurei, or dim spirit. The yurei anguishes in purgatory wondering why someone just can't bury the damn body already. If the yurei develops strong enough emotional attachments to the physical world, it returns as a ghost.
In Japanese mythology there are many types of such spirits. These five are not only common in Japanese folklore but also closely resemble Western ideas of what a restless spirit is.
Onryo are spirits that have returned to the physical world to seek vengeance against those who treated them poorly while they were living. Almost always depicted as women, onryo were often mistreated by their would-be lovers during their lifetimes. However, their gender rendered them powerless to stop mistreatment. By becoming spirits they find their strength.
The Japanese spirit world is structured with the spirit world itself and the physical world on opposite ends of a spectrum, with a middle-ground purgatory creating a gap between them. The purgatory is essentially a place of reflection where spirits linger until they accept their fate and move on to the spirit world. However, those with strong emotional attachments to the living can cross the gap and return the physical world. In the case of onryo, the emotions are hatred or sorrow, and they only return to rest when they have their revenge, which is always justified.
Stories of onryo often involve cheating husbands being haunted but indirectly harmed; usually the spirit will wreak havoc on the village where their lover lives or kill their new lover to right themselves. These ghost stories used as cautionary tales against bad husbands, though given the number of these stories they probably weren't effective at deterring any on-the-side-boning.
Ubume can be translated to mean "childbirth woman." These spirits are those of mothers who died during childbirth or before they could properly take care of their child. Given their grim origins, the stories revolving around these spirits are more sorrowful than those of onryo and focus on the mother's quest to ensure her child's safety after her own death. They cross purgatory through both their love and fear.
Generally there are two types of Ubume stories. The first involves the spirit directly interacting with her child after death, serving as a sort of guardian angel. There's no haunting to be had in these stories. However, in her providing for the child, the mother inadvertently leaves clues to her deceased nature behind. The most common are coins left for their child which turn into dead leaves after they've been exchanged.
The second type of the story sees the mother's spirit attempt to find a stranger and guide it to her baby so it can be raised up in society by someone who isn't ethereal and creepy. Stories of ubume carry the moral that a mother's love never ceases, nor is her job ever truly done.
In medieval Japan, it was a common belief that one's social status carried over with them into the spirit world. The more powerful someone was, the more likely it would make them a ghost capable of great destruction, so continuing to respect the dead was very important. Of course, if some douche-hat assassinated you for political gain, it didn't really matter if a shrine was built in your honor because you were going to be pretty pissed off regardless.
Goryo are "honorable spirits" of the aristocratic classes who had been wronged during their lives, making them a vengeance ghost similar to onryo. Unlike onryo, these ghosts weren't powerless house wives but powerful lords, courtiers and other political figures whose powers as spirits translated into natural disasters and catastrophes, capable of causing floods or flash fires and killing hundreds of people at a time, innocent or not. However, the rampage of a goryo didn't necessarily end with the death of those who wronged them. Only the supernaturally powered yamabushis could put these spirits to rest.

NFL Players Files Countersuit Against CBS In Fantasy Squabble
Published September 11, 2008
|NFL Players Files Countersuit Against
CBS Over Fantasy Football Dispute
DETAILED AGREEMENT: As part of the filing, NFL Players also included the full text of its fantasy licensing agreement with CBS Interactive for the year ended February 29, 2008, providing a level of detail surpassing even U.S. Labor Department documents that showed CBS paid the union a total of $1.49M during the period. The contract called for CBS Interactive to pay a guaranteed royalty payment of $700,000, a 8.5% royalty payment for net fantasy subscription-based revenues less that guaranteed sum, and royalties garnered from free, advertising-supported leagues. The free-league royalty schedule called for a payment of $0.11 for each of the first 500,000 registered players not in a CBS fee-based league, $0.09 for each player in the next half-million registrants, and $0.07 for every player thereafter.

Before you continue with this story I would recommend doing a bit of study. I am not saying the story is bad, the premise is quite good actually, I am merely saying you are making so many mistakes though it isn't funny. On more thing is that Amaterasu in the Shinto religion is already married and the single time she TRIED to be unfaithful to her husband she was trapped in a mirror for 500 years.
| The Truth of Words chapter 2 . 1/18
More historical and religious mistakes.

Incorrect there was but a single head of the Shinto religion and according to historical records and such Kami was Male not female, it has only been said and popularized in modern media for the last 50 years.

question, who is Kami ?, do not know if you know that Kami is a Japanese deity Sharpness wide apart Yami is not a major deity

When 14-year-old Reece Saava went to Bromley's Churchill Theatre last Saturday (May 10), the last thing he expected to come across was the ghost of Michael Jackson.
However he went home with photographic evidence of the king of pop's return from the grave.
What's more, MJ had good reason to pay the theatre a visit, as that evening a Michael Jackson Live tribute show was gracing the stage.
Reece, of Cedar Road, Bromley, said: "It wasn't until two days later when I was looking through the photos with my friends that I saw it.
"My friend was like: 'what is that in the corner, were there balloons?'
"When I looked at it I was genuinely quite shocked, it was very distinct, not like other photos of you see of that sort of thing.
"I cannot say I believe in ghosts but it is very spooky."
Reece's mother, Angela, 54, who was at the show with her son, added: "It is certainly very spooky to say the least.
"The image is so clear. Sometimes you can see these things in photos, it is an image of something but you are almost willing it to be something else.
"But you look at that and it is clearly a face and it does look like Michael Jackson.
"And the fact it was a Michael Jackson event and there he was makes it all the more eerie."
In the photo, Jackson's ghost is seemingly peering over the shoulder of a Michael Jackson impersonator, perhaps trying to see what he is writing.

Steam Linux Beta Opens Up To More Gamers

Prior to going on their Thanksgiving holiday, Valve's Linux cabal opened up the Steam Linux Beta program to an additional five-thousand applicants.
There's lots of
excitement about Valve's games on Linux
since it
went into public beta
earlier this month. Last week I mentioned
their Linux beta was ramping up
and now on Wednesday was an announcement that an additional 5,000 Linux gamers have had their accounts activated to participate in testing out the Source Engine games on Linux.
The announcement of 5k more Linux gamers being eligible for the Steam Linux Beta was shared on
their site
. If you're interested,
you can apply to be part of the beta
. Expect the Steam Linux client and Source Engine for Linux to
leave beta around February
of 2013.
I've been
part of the Linux beta
since the beginning, however, until a later date when the beta is more open and any initial issues are worked out, benchmarks and other information can't be shared. But when the time comes, of course, there will be plenty of Phoronix benchmarks from the Source Engine games on Linux with different drivers and hardware.

Public displays of religion, like public displays of guns, are suppressed by a bureaucracy in need of controlling its sheeple. When connections to community and tools of resistance have been broken we will be completely vulnerable to our bureaucrats and to external enemies as well.

Edmonton Oilers name Shawn Horcoff their new captain
Oct 6, 2010, 1:00 PM EDT
There are a few NHL teams who are still without a captain, but the Edmonton Oilers named their franchise's 13th captain today. The team decided to name veteran center Shawn Horcoff their captain, according to the team.
The Edmonton Oilers have named Shawn Horcoff as their new captain, making him the 13th player to wear the "C" since the team joined the NHL in 1979.
The 32-year-old centre is entering his 10th NHL season, all with the Oilers. Drafted in the 4th round (99th overall) in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, the 6'1″, 208 pound native of Trail, British Columbia has scored 374 points (133G, 241A) with 417 penalty minutes in 637 career games.
Beyond 37-year-old goalie Nikolai Khabibulin, Horcoff is practically a dinosaur at 32 compared to the young influx of talent coming into this team. He might not be a truly elite player, but he seems pretty useful in all aspects of the game and would be a great fit as a second or third pivot (unfortunately, he's often playing the role of a No. 1).
Want to know who the other Oilers captains were? Edmonton provided a nice little list.
Horcoff joins Ron Chipperfield (1979-80), Blair MacDonald (1980-81), Lee Fogolin (1980-81 to 1982-1983), Wayne Gretzky (1983-84 to 1987-88), Mark Messier (1988-89 to 1990-91), Kevin Lowe (1991-92), Craig MacTavish (1992-93 to 1993-94), Shayne Corson (1994-95), Kelly Buchberger (1995-96 to 1998-99), Doug Weight (1999-00 to 2000-01), Jason Smith (2001-02 to 2006-07) and Ethan Moreau (2007-08 to 2009-10) in the succession of Oiler captains.
There might be more captaincy-related news as the day goes on, so we'll pass along word if any other teams hand over the "C." Could it be the Vancouver Canucks or San Jose Sharks? We'll let you know.

Imagine if Dr Johnson had been let loose in schools instead of Jamie Oliver
Children love rudery, the real rudery of a truly fearless spirit, not the mere adoption of uncouth locutions
It would be a nice gesture on the Government's part, now it's in a giving mood, to mark the 250th anniversary of Dr Johnson's Dictionary by presenting every child between the ages of eight and 18 with a copy. The £250m it's going to cost to increase school dinners by 13p a plate looks a more economical vote winner, I grant you, but that's an ongoing commitment, whereas Johnson's Dictionary would be a one-off. You can pick up a paperback selection from Amazon for about £20, which isn't ideal - we don't want to start the kids off on abridgements - but it's a move in the right direction at least. And if that's too big an outlay there's always the Mac-compatible CD-Rom, which, at $320 a pop, could go into every classroom. Brain food, Tony. Don't forget the brain food.
It would be a nice gesture on the Government's part, now it's in a giving mood, to mark the 250th anniversary of Dr Johnson's Dictionary by presenting every child between the ages of eight and 18 with a copy.

You can pick up a paperback selection from Amazon for about £20, which isn't ideal - we don't want to start the kids off on abridgements - but it's a move in the right direction at least. And if that's too big an outlay there's always the Mac-compatible CD-Rom, which, at $320 a pop, could go into every classroom. Brain food, Tony. Don't forget the brain food.
The advantage of the CD-Rom, I'm told by those who use it, is that it not only contains the 1755 and the 1783 editions but actually displays the two versions side by side, so that nine- or 10-year-olds still locked into interactive modes of learning, and happy only when they have a mouse to push, can have fun comparing editorial changes. Call me a sentimentalist, but in my mind's eye I see their little faces illuminated with the joy of spotting Johnson's emendations and exchanging opinions on their felicity.
Unprovable, of course, but it's my own view that Jamie Oliver would have made a better job of winning the kids round to his burgerless cuisine - winning Tony round, when there's a photo opportunity in it, cannot be counted an achievement - had he been able to call on more words. Leave aside the swearing and Jamie Oliver has no words.
I have grown not to mind the swearing. Swearing is what chefs seem to have to do. I take it to be some mechanistic, oral thing. The more exquisite that which you receive into your mouth, the more vile that which you must expel from it. Fine, so long as they don't do what footballers do after they have sworn, and spit.
In fact, Jamie Oliver swears more like a choirboy than a footballer. Though he comes from Essex where children imbibe invective with their mother's milk, he swears as though he has just that minute found bad language in the street. Which is presumably why he is such a hit with ladies of a certain age and class. They like an angel who is only halfway fallen.
How well that goes down with the young is another matter. After all those fuckin' 'ells in the kitchens and all the "Hi, guys" cheeky-chappy incoherence at morning assembly, the kids at Kidbrooke School should have been eating grated courgette pizza out of his hand, but they weren't. And the reason, I reckon, is that in some corner of themselves, and despite all the anti-hierarchical pap that has been pumped into them for decades, kids would still rather look up than down, still like a prick to kick against, still revere the learning they do not have. Dr Johnson, reading, say, from his own entry on oats - "grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people" - would have gone down infinitely better.
That he would thereby have contravened the Government's guidelines in the matter of exciting national or religious hatred, I can only imagine endearing him the more. Children love rudery. Real rudery, I mean, the rudery of a truly fearless spirit, not the mere adoption of uncouth locutions - which was Jamie Oliver's big mistake, assuming he had a choice in the matter.
I suspect that Linda Walker's peppering the pavement with shotgun pellets would likewise have won the respect of the young, even those who happened to be standing on the pavement at the time, and whether or not they were the hooligans who had been making her life a misery. Children love a folk hero, and what else can you call a woman with a shotgun righting wrongs which no one else will.
As for the argument that you mustn't take the law into your own hands, any child knows how little ice that cuts where the law is limbless. You are pragmatic when you are young. You do what authority won't do for you. As Dr Johnson discovered on the occasion a gang of thugs attempted to disburden him of his possessions, or indeed when anyone talked nonsense in his presence - you lay about you or you perish.
It is a pity there is no moral lexicographer of Johnson's stature left among us to lay about Louis Browne, the Recorder who sentenced Mrs Walker to six months' imprisonment, calling her response to provocation "wholly disproportionate". Is there such a thing as "wholly" disproportionate? Aren't you disproportionate or not? And isn't "wholly" therefore merely histrionics?
Which questions aside, what would a proportionate response to such intimidation as Mrs Walker suffered be, given that she had already tried calling the police? Taking the offenders out to lunch? Migrating to Australia? We might wonder whether shooting them through the heart would have been "wholly disproportionate", but firing pellets round their feet seems, if anything, rather elegantly measured.
Hopalong Cassidy, long considered a role model to children on account of his drinking milk not beer (not his fault that we knew nothing in those days of skimmed organic milk), made a practice of firing bullets at baddies' feet. That was the Wild West, of course, but Mrs Walker lives in Manchester, which is near enough.
Dr Johnson doesn't in so many words condone shooting hooligans in the foot, but he was generally impatient with folly, so we can surmise what he would have thought of Mr Browne. Much as he thought of a cucumber, I warrant. An object which "should be well sliced, dressed with pepper and vinegar, and then thrown out, as good for nothing".
Another judgement in which schoolchildren would sooner concur than in the merits of a Jamie Oliver salad.

Bone fractures involving the growth plate in children are common, and can result in bone growth delay or arrest. The Salter-Harris radiologic classification system was developed in the 1960s to describe these types of fractures, based on the extent of damage to the growth plate. Because pediatric patients often are examined in the ED for orthopedic problems, understanding the Salter-Harris classifications can help when you assess children with traumatic bony injuries. Let's take a closer look.
The SALTR mnemonic is an easy way to remember the five types of growth plate fractures that can place a pediatric patient at risk for bone growth disturbance:
* S-fracture involves a Slip or Separation of the growth plate (Type I)
* A-fracture is Above the growth plate (Type II)
* L-fracture is Lower than the growth plate (Type III)
* T-fracture is Through the growth plate (Type IV)
* R-fracture involves a cRush of the growth plate (Type V).
In a type I fracture, the epiphysis is slipped or separated from the metaphysis. The X-ray will show soft-tissue swelling near the epiphyseal line, and displacement of the epiphysis from the metaphysis. You also may see bony avulsion at the periosteal attachment. These fractures occur most commonly in the distal tibia or fibula.
Because X-ray findings can be very subtle, patient exam is the most important component of assessment in these fractures. The patient will be point tender over the growth plate, so he should be reevaluated by an orthopedic surgeon. Fortunately, type I fractures rarely cause growth disturbances.
In this type of fracture, the epiphyseal plate is slipped with a metaphyseal fracture, producing a triangular fragment of the metaphysis. This is the most common type of growth plate fracture.
The epiphyseal plate is slipped with an intra-articular fragment of the epiphysis in this fracture. Type III fractures typically occur at the distal tibial epiphysis, usually in an older child with a partially closed physis. The patient will have point tenderness over the growth plate. Open reduction usually is needed for this type of fracture, to prevent growth disturbance. The blood supply that enters from the epiphyseal surface must be adequate for the bone to heal properly; without a good blood supply, avascular necrosis may occur.
Patients with type III fractures will need immobilization for 4 to 6 weeks with close observation by an orthopedic surgeon.
This fracture involves the epiphysis, physis, and metaphysis and commonly occurs at the lateral condyle of the humerus. The patient often will have point tenderness and swelling at the growth plate, and will need open reduction and internal fixation. Postoperatively, he'll need 4 to 6 weeks of immobilization and close observation by an orthopedic surgeon. Growth disturbance and joint deformity can occur with this type of fracture, and because this is an intra-articular fracture, the prognosis may be poor if precise reduction isn't achieved.
This injury is a crush injury to the growth plate with no epiphyseal or metaphyseal fracture. Type V fractures usually involve an axial load mechanism of injury, such as a fall from a height. The knee and distal tibial physis are common sites of injury, and these fractures are difficult to detect because the epiphysis doesn't appear to be displaced. The initial X-ray may appear normal, so comparison films may be helpful.
Treatment is to avoid weight bearing and close observation by an orthopedic surgeon. Unfortunately, type V fractures often are diagnosed in retrospect when growth arrest is discovered.
Now let's look at some cases of pediatric fractures and how to handle them. Suppose you're caring for Pete Lucca, 15, who sustained an injury to his right thumb while catching a football. From his description, you know it's a hyperex-tension injury. He has tenderness and swelling on the ulnar aspect of the first metacarpal joint on his right thumb, ecchymosis of the volar aspect of the thumb and thenar area.
An X-ray reveals a type II fracture of the metacarpal joint of Pete's right thumb, with slippage of the proximal phalanx and a fracture through the metaphysis. Pete is placed in a thumb spica splint and referred to an orthopedic surgeon, who placed him in a thumb cast for 4 weeks. He was later able to resume normal activities without restriction.
Now let's consider Tyler Newton, 13, who comes to the ED with his father after being injured in a basketball game. Tyler has right knee pain and swelling; his father says he collided with another player during the game. Tyler's right foot was planted as he tried to catch the ball, and the other player struck him in the medial aspect of the knee, knocking him to the floor. Tyler wasn't able to bear weight immediately after the accident, and says his knee is very painful.
An X-ray reveals a fracture through the epiphysis with separation of the physis of the distal femur, or a type III fracture. Tyler is placed in a knee immobilizer, admitted to the hospital, and referred to an orthopedic surgeon for operative intervention. He's more comfortable now that he's been placed in the knee immobilizer.
By understanding common pediatric fractures and their classifications, you can help patients get appropriate treatment and reduce permanent disabilities in patients with these types of injuries.

text: dean22 Listed below are comments made by dean22 between Monday, 5th April 2010 and Friday, 11th June 2010. «Newer Older» Motty's day two preview 11:37pm on 11 Jun 2010 Blimey Notasquick, you might want to get a couple of pounds on that England prediction! The Last Post 11:40pm on 24 May 2010 Enjoyed reading the posts, expect that with no editorial the new blog can be a bit more to the point and entertaining in it's new home.With regard to Mourinho, thankfully he's going to Spain, couldn't bear to have him back in Prem League.Just goes to show the class of the man, Inter Milan have just won the trophy and all he is interested in talking about is himself, and the Real Madrid managers job, which last I heard was taken.To speak publicy about another persons job is bad taste.Besides, I think at Madrid his brand of football might get found out. I can't see the locals taking kindly to that dire defensive style, albeit a winning style.Good luck with the new blog! Holloway takes Blackpool to the promised land 3:43pm on 23 May 2010 Congratulations to Blackpool. I know most people (I suppose, me included) assume that they will go straight back down, but even if they do, there is still a lot of positives to come out of their promotion.On top of the fact that some of the worlds best players and top teams will be visiting Blackpool, they now have the money to develop the ground. Apparently Karl Oyston said afterwards that they would now redevelop their East Stand and transform their media and medical centers. The club can now totally modernise.I see the bookies already have them odds on to go straight back down, but I would imagine they had Stoke to go straight back down when they came up a couple of seasons ago.Tony Pulis proved it can be done, so it dosen't have to be taken for granted that Blackpool will do a Burnley.In Holloway, they have a decent manager who gets the team really playing for him. If he makes some shrewd signings, then why can't they defy the odds and do a Stoke.Good luck to them from [Unsuitable/Broken URL removed by Moderator]Footballgambler Blog Will Leeds cling on in League One? 5:35pm on 08 May 2010 Fair play to Leeds, they got there in the end.I know they made hard work of it, but at the start of the season Grayson would have settled for needing a home win on last day of the season.Be interesting to see if Bates will let Grayson spend much in the Championship next season, you don't necessarily have too as Leicester have shown. But then again look at Peterborough.Suppose that Leeds and Leicester are clubs structured for the Championship and (maybe) Premier League, unlike 'The Posh' who are used to budgeting for the lower leagues.My club, Coventry, will need to be careful who they appoint as new manager. For a few years too many now, they have been flirting with the trap door to Div 1, need to get this appointment right.Footballgambler Blog Taxi for Rafa? 11:29pm on 05 May 2010 If Spurs get through to group stages, they will find it hard to compete in Europe and the League, should do ok in the league as I think they have a good squad myself, the bench always looks strong. Could do with a top notch striker though, maybe someone with plenty of European pedigree, otherwise I think they might struggle in CL. Not much European experience in Spurs squad or management. As for top 4, if Spurs do add quality to their squad, and Man City will also strenghthen, it will be very hard to see Liverpool in their current state competing.Think Rafa will be gone soon, Martin Broughton might not rate him, and might well make his feelings known to Rafa, in a constructive dismissal way.Rafa might even walk if he's not pushed first, what little is left of his reputation will totally disappear with another bad season at Anfield. A new 'Big Four'? 10:44pm on 05 May 2010 Well done to Spurs thought they deserved it tonight. Ledley King was unbelievable and I think he has to go to the world cup on this form, he also proved he is capable of playing two games in five days, or three in twelve days.Think Spurs have only delayed Manchester City's arrival by another year though, can see City making top 4 next season.Will be interesting though, as I think if Spurs get a true world class striker they could become a true force next season, they have a decent squad, with a good keeper, sound defence, sound midfield and a decent looking bench. Think they only lack a top class striker or two, Defoe and Crouch are ok, but I can't see them scaring the top defenders at the world cup. Taxi for Rafa? 11:32pm on 04 May 2010 Rafa's agent is going to say that he definately wants to stay at Anfield, because if he is thinking of going he will want a golden handshake.My hunch is, that he wants to go to Juventus, but he dosen't want to forgo his pay off from Liverpool. His ideal scenario would be a deal between Juve and Liverpool where he gets a percentage pay out, and Liverpool get rid of him without having to pay up all his contract. It looks like a deal that suits all three parties to me, I don't know why they don't just get on with it.Do you agree with the PFA Team of the Year ? It's either us or Palace 1:29pm on 02 May 2010 I'm a neutral (cov fan), and hope that Wednesday stay up as I do believe that administration is an unfair advantage.No disrespect to Palace fans as it is not their fault, and as usual it's the fans who get the rough end of the deal for other peoples failings. But when a club lives above it's means and then does that it's not fair. Points reduction or not.Coventry did it for years and were about 40 minutes from admin, was glad they didn't do it. So much for the 'beautiful game' 00:22am on 30 Apr 2010 It will be interesting to see Mourinho at Real Madrid, personally I don't like him, but he gets results. He won't get away with that kind of performance every week at the Bernabeu, but he won't need to play like that in most games in La Liga.I want to see what he does with the likes of Benzema and Kaka, I can't see him fitting all those luxary players in with the likes of Ronaldo and Higuain. As we all know Ronaldo is no worker when it comes to tracking back so it's hard to envisage too many more flair players in the same team under Mourinho. Could be a couple more big names exiting Madrid soon, not just Raul and Guti. Down Among Dowie And The Dead Men 07:23am on 28 Apr 2010 I can't understand that Burnley fan in the picture holding up the Judas banner. Surely he must have the brains to realise that Owen Coyle is an ambitious manager who was always going to leave (and no, I'm not a Bolton fan, I have to admit to supporting Coventry).Personally I think he did a decent job for Burnley and the fans should be thanking him. If he did leave in the middle of a 3 or 5 year plan or whatever it was, ask yourself why? He obviously seen the writing was on the wall earlier in the season. I admire Burnley for not putting their club at risk, and think they were right. But the lack of signings must have helped make up Coyle's mind for him.As for Hull, I think they got what they deserved. Was sacking Permatan the right decision? Clearly not. Pearson could only say that gamble paid off if Hull stayed up.I thought Hull owed Brown a bit more time after what he has achieved for them, Pearson's last throw of the bounce-back-ability dice failed. Dowie again bounced backed to where he ususally ends up, take your pick from the Championship, or the dole queue.If George Boateng thinks they went down because of Phil Brown's teamtalk on the pitch 16 months ago, then he better take a look in the mirror for the real reason.I give you two names, Scott Parker and George Boateng, the difference between survival and relegation. Tense times as Hull feel relegation pinch 01:32am on 25 Apr 2010 Can't buy the excuse that the half time team talk is the reason why Hull have gone down, for George Boateng to say that is embarrassing. It was 16 months ago, if they can't get over it in that time, then get another job. It is just the usual pro football exonerating himself from any blame.Yes, Phil Brown has to take his share of the blame, of course he does. Maybe the pitch team talk wasn't his finest moment. But to use that as an excuse for getting relegated 16 months later is pathetic. Tense times as Hull feel relegation pinch 11:30pm on 22 Apr 2010 For me it was a last throw of the dice when Pearson got Dowie in. Hull at best can only get 6 points (and thats a hell of a long shot), and even that will probably not be enough.Thought Phil Brown was unlucky to be sacked, and had earned the right to take Hull to the end of the season and see how he got on. Think this is payback for Pearson's reckless decision. Not sure what to make of the financial situation. Duffen's remark that Hull have one of the lowest debts in the Premier League is not very reasuring. Is that compared to Liverpool, Man Utd and Portsmouth?-----------------------------------------------With regard to Dowie, I am a Coventry fan and have nothing against Dowie, think he has been unlucky, or maybe he could have chose his jobs better. After going down with Newcastle and now (likely) with Hull, I think his reputation has been badly damaged. Liverpool co-owners playing for extra time 3:28pm on 11 Apr 2010 25) Derek02000, didn't the Yanks offer Moores a seat on the board? Whereas DIC wanted to come in and bring their own people to run the club, and to occupy all the seats in the boardroom. I'm sure I heard this before, but I could be wrong.It would be amazing if Moores sold the club to the Americans on the understanding that he kept a seat on the board. Liverpool co-owners playing for extra time 2:05pm on 11 Apr 2010 It's amazing why managers always just want an open cheque book anyway.I'm not going to start saying Benitez wastes millions as most managers do, in contrast Torres, Reina, Alonso etc, have been good signings.Why not invest a bit more in youth, the Liverpool area still seems to unearth talent, so why haven't Liverpool tapped into it? Everton have.Or is it that they have the players in the youth system, or reserves, but they never get a chance?The biggest problem Liverpool have is if you did give him £60M, he couldn't afford any mistakes this time. With the finances at Liverpool surely that would be playing Russian Roulette with the clubs future. Liverpool co-owners playing for extra time 1:33pm on 11 Apr 2010 Martin Broughton must like a challenge if he is seriously considering adding Liverpool to his 'to do' list.==============================================No 9) Why make a Chelsea fan the chairman of Liverpool ?Isn't that a conflict of interests ;)==============================================No, it's not a conflict of interests. Players support different clubs, even referees support teams, and they must have to ref a game in which the result might effect the team they support at some stage of the season. It's only if you own a certain amount of shares in more than one club, that it becomes a conflict of interest. Anyway, the main point is that these men are business men 1st, and fans 2nd, or anywhere from 2nd to 92nd. They are only interested in what they can get out of it, not what the fans want.Liverpool fans worst nightmare for me, must be that they get rid of the yanks, only to find that they are replaced by another group of investors, maybe worse, and only interested in whats in it for them.Of all the names you hear linked (if they are true), it sounds like that is all that the future holds for Liverpool.It would appear that there is not too many Oil Barons, from Russia or the Middle East, who are prepared to throw good money away just for entertainment. Flight drama for Focus 11:35pm on 07 Apr 2010 Dan, Shame you couldn't hang around in Barcelona for Saturday night's match, whereas if I was invited to the Milan match, I would make my excuses and leave. Don't think Hansen would have been too impressed with the defending for Bayern's two goals on Wednesday though.20) Whats this about Oggy breaking his finger? Are you sure it wasn't that Oggy bashing bully Ian Wright standing on it? The simple things you see are all complicated 00:15am on 06 Apr 2010 I believe that you are right FBH, I heard that winning Europa dosen't get you into CL on radio the other week.Can't believe how many people still support Rafa, I know Torres did a shift against Benfica last Thursday, but Liverpool needed 3 points badly on Sunday. If the 'IRWT' brigade can't criticize him for the substitution, then surely they have to blame him for only having Ngog to bring on.They can't keep blaming the yanks, they didnt' spend (something around) £15M on a right back, or the same or similar amount on a bloke with a sore ankle, when they needed a striker, it was Rafa.With regard to Alberto Aquilani, when the likes of Ferguson or Wenger talk about signing a player, they say that they look beyond his ability, at his temperament, attitude, etc. In the case of Aquilani it looks like Rafa didn't do his homework too well.Yes he won a Champions League, and it was an outstanding achievement, he probably should have won the Premier League last season as well, but for his negative tactics at times, (ie, when 1-1 away at Arsenal who were down to 10 men, and he settled for the draw) they prbably would have done.He looks to have lost the support of his key players to me, you only had to look at the reaction of Gerrard and Torres to the substitution on Sunday. It's no coincidence that Gerrard hasn't played well this season, you can clearly see from his body language that he is far from happy.In my view it's time for a change at Liverpool. If the Juventus job is still going in the summer, he should go there. His negative tactics would be perfect for Italian football.Can't believe Real Madrid would want him, can you see him getting away with subbing Ronaldo when only 1-0 up, or drawing at home. To save him for a midweek game!Footballgamblerblog Messi - the devastating decoy 11:44pm on 05 Apr 2010 Have to agree with Phil's piece that just because Messi didn't do numerous stepovers or score a hat-trick, that he must have played average or bad against Arsenal.As a regular watcher of Spanish football, yes, I have become used to seeing Messi making fools out of defenders most weeks, and scoring a lot of goals in the process.But just because he didn't do that against Arsenal, and might not in the 2nd leg, or next weekends match with Madrid, dosen't mean he played badly.Personally I thought he played the simple ball well, kept the ball moving, used his own movement to make space for others, and kept possesion of the ball, as Barca do as a team, rather than just booting it up field like some do. I don't recall thinking he was just a passenger in the first 25 minutes when Arsenal were ripped to shreds.In my opinion he did his bit for the team. If he had of scored a couple, people would probably be slagging Barca off instead, saying they are just a one man team. You can't win. «Newer Older»

Peter Powers puts people to sleep. He isn't boring; he's a hypnotist. In 1993, the Australian entertainer brought his trance-inducing act to Liverpool, where he made a man lie down in a shop-window display and fall sound asleep. Eight days later, the guy woke up (no doubt with a store-clearing case of morning breath).
Neat trick, huh? Unfortunately, unless you're sporting a gold pocket watch and excel at mind control (your own), this isn't something you can try at home. If you want amazing sack time, the kind that will boost your energy levels and slow the aging process, you need to build it from the bed up.
That's why we tested a truckload of mattresses, sheets, blankets, and pillows to identify the ultimate combination for catching serious shut-eye. And for those occasional stare-at-the-ceiling emergencies, we also picked the best over-the-counter sleep supplement and prescription sleeping pill. Does all of this mean you'll snooze like the Liverpudlian? No, but you'll feel like you did.
(Know what else will help you sleep like a baby? An intense workout! Sign up for the Men's Health Personal Trainer and get serious about stepping up your gym routine today.
There's more to take home from hotels than mini shampoo bottles. Chains such as Four Seasons, Westin, and W have been working with mattress manufacturers to create the most comfortable sleep surface possible. Made to the exact specifications of each hotel, the beds feature more coils and cushioning than even high-end store models.
"It's the same reason hotels develop special blends of coffee," says Richard Adie, director of the Statler Hotel at the Cornell school of hotel administration. "Positive reactions mean return business." And, like the coffee, they're for sale. We tried five: the W Mattress, Westin's Heavenly Bed, Sheraton's Sweet Sleeper, the Four Seasons Signature Mattress, and the Four Points Four Comfort Bed. Although all were conk-out comfortable, only one was a sleeper hit.
Best in class: Thanks to a near-perfect balance of support and padding, the Four Comfort Bed ($1,300, starwoodhotels.com) provides the ultimate slumber surface. The specially designed Sealy mattress sits atop a foundation made of heavy-gauge, high-carbon steel, which does a better job of flexing to absorb weight and movement than a traditional box spring. Need something softer? Check out the Heavenly Bed ($1,450, westin.com); its pillow-top mattress provides an extra layer of padding that you can sink into without being swallowed up.
If you shop for sheets, you'll come across the term "thread count." This is marketing jargon for the number of threads woven into 1 square inch, the idea being that the higher the count, the softer the sheet. And that's true--up to a point. "You can't get more than 500 threads into a square inch," says Michael Breus, Ph.D., a senior vice president at Phoenix Sleep LLC. "Companies will take two 500-thread-count sheets and weave them together and call it 1,000."
Instead of looking for quadruple-digit counts, pay attention to the fabric. The rule: Go with natural fibers, such as cotton, and avoid synthetics, which are less absorbent, says Breus. "Over the course of an evening, you can release close to a half gallon of sweat and oils."
Best in class: Make your bed with Garnet Hill Signature flannel sheets ($135 for king size, garnethill.com). A napped cotton surface makes these sheets somnolent soft. And, while warm, they weren't oppressively so. Runner-up: Pure Beech sateen sheets ($100, bedbathandbeyond.com). They're woven with fiber from beech trees and were lighter than the Garnet Hill flannels and nearly as soft.
Remember the best sleep of your life? Probably not, since it was when you were only hours old, says Gerard Lombardo, M.D., director of the sleep-disorders center at New York Methodist Hospital. He says that one reason infants are born to sleep is because they're swaddled with blankets, which gives them the secure sensation of being in utero.
So where does that leave an overtired adult? Shopping for a new cocoon. "Using a comforter can give you that feeling again," says Dr. Lombardo. Our mission: Crawl under a variety of fabrics filled with a range of insulations and discover which comforter is king.
Best in class: For that just-out-of-the-womb feeling, you can't beat the Isotonic Indulgence down-alternative comforter ($180, bedbathandbeyond.com). It's filled with hypoallergenic synthetic-down fibers, which kept us warm but not baking the way goose down can. Of course, if you live in a hot zone, even the Isotonic may prove stifling. "If you're sweating, you're not going to sleep," says Dr. Lombardo. Go with Wamsutta's Egyptian cotton weave blanket ($70, springs.com); the weave allows cool air to circulate through.

Four immunosuppressive drugs are to be labeled with stronger warnings about the risk of opportunistic fungal infections. The drugs-adalimumab (Humira), etanercept (Enbrel), infliximab (Remicade), and certolizumab (Cimzia)-belong to a class called tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha blockers. They're prescribed to treat a range of conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, plaque psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, and Crohn's disease.
All four drugs already have black-box warnings about safety issues, including the risk of fungal infections. The stronger warnings were prompted by reports of delayed diagnosis and treatment of histoplasmosis in patients taking adalimumab, etanercept, and infliximab, resulting in prolonged hospitalizations and 12 deaths. The FDA has also received one report of histoplasmosis in a patient taking certolizumab, as well as reports of coccidioidomycosis and blastomycosis in patients taking TNF blockers.
Fungal infections can cause flulike symptoms. Teach patients who take TNF blockers to immediately report persistent fever, cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue.
