LeBron Watch, 6 p.m.: Decision still unknown
|07.08.10 at 6:28 pm ET
While all the fuss Thursday has centered on LeBron James' apparent decision to join the Heat, ESPN's Ric Bucher recently posted on his Twitter account that the consensus among GMs, agents and league officials is that he will not be going to Miami.
James was, however, spotted Thursday at his basketball camp at Cleveland State University, watching high school stars play in front of college coaches. Those in attendance included Mike Krzyzewski, Roy Williams and Bob Huggins, to name a few. From there he is headed to the Boys & Girls Club in Greenwich, Conn., where his hour-long special will air.
If he were to re-sign with the Cavaliers, rumors abound that it would be a three-year contract. And because of the firestorm James' decision could have on the people of Ohio, there is reportedly going to be increased police activity in downtown Cleveland.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick set records in his team's 45-31 win over the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs on Saturday, and he also inspired a social media trend. The second-year player has been celebrating his touchdowns with a kiss on his biceps (seen above). After his outstanding performance Saturday — he rushed for 181 yards (a quarterback record), two touchdowns, and threw for 263 yards and two touchdowns — many Niners fans began following his lead by imitating the celebration. Much like "Tebowing" and "Griffining," "Kaepernicking" has become a social media trend. See some fans "Kaepernicking" below: Kaepernick's celebration isn't exactly unique. As USA Today points out, wrestler Scott Steiner has been doing it for years. Even Metta World Peace has done it a few times in the past. But Kaepernick has done it on the biggest stage, so he is the one receiving the naming honors. Photo credits: Twitter/McLovin1019; Twitter/SirEscoVII; Twitter/Betty_2_Blunt34; Twitter/Hollywood578; Twitter/_KDIZZLE23_; Twitter/DarrenRovell The post Colin Kaepernick TD celebration inspires 'Kaepernicking' trend (Pictures) appeared first on Larry Brown Sports.

Looks like a deoderant commercial
I hope they aren't trying to say that he came up with this. Professional wrestlers have been doing it for decades...and looking just as silly.
DID YOU SAY THE SAME **** ABOUT tEBOW! BC BLACK ATHELETES BEEN DOING WHAT THT PUNK TEBOW IS COPYING!
lol..the Niner organization can never be original always biting others.. Lol...kapernicking, gmab. What a joke. Wait til his overrated offense gets killed.
LOLOLOLOL, yea, that whole west coast offense thing, it was the rest of the NFL that created that & Bill Walsh "bit" it off them...hahahaha.
Kap is kissing his tattoos.........you know, the ones some stupid sports writer made a big deal about. Quarterbacks shouldn't have tattoos...HA!!!!.....well this one does and he kicked some Packer a$$ Saturday.
true on that
They beleive and winning is all about believeing. The PAck didn't look like they believed in themselves at all in the second half and stopped fighting. Great book I'm reading called HARD WIRED sums it up pretty well. Found it on Amazon.
When are you haters EVER going to accept it,SanFran on its way back.Seattle fans,heres a grossly calculated statement,YOU BEAT THE DEADSKINS BECAUSE RG3 COULDNT EVEN WALK,LET ALONE COMPLETE A PASS!!!!!!!congrats,you beat a mortally wounded team.When it came to a completely balanced team,choked on your own feathers!!
You might want to rethink that. It was the falcons that ALMOST choked on their own feathers. After all they WERE ahead by 20 points in the third quarter, and should have won by at THE VERY LEAST, 10 points. They had a blowout going, and COULD NOT seal the deal. AND THAT is NOT redemption. He barely beat a team that he should have blown off the field!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the thug wannabe QB. He's darn good, but needs to keep his mouth closed, as he comes across about as smart as one of the Kardashians.
so why do you think he is a thug wannabe
I have the great pleasure of being a Jets and Eagles fan, but you sir are letting that green dragon show it's ugly head. Wish the young man all the luck in the world! This was the best playoff weekend ever! Next week looks to be a shootout weekend.
amen flojoe!
Kaepernick has turned into the Deadliest Running QB in the NFL! And He's WHITE!
Is he white?
actually kaepernick is biracial african american and caucasian
Sorry it does look silly! You can't tell me he doesn't use steroids come on guys!
Really? Awful lot of celebrating for a player, and team, who hasn't won anything yet.
Kaepernick is going to the super bowl this year. The Atlanta falcons CAN NOT handle SAN FRAN head to head. I'm going to stick my neck out here, and say Matt Ryan will be picked off at least twice in this game, and that will be the difference. The forty niners should win by AT LEAST 10, and probably more. But that's just my humble opinion.
Sitting here in the ATL as a San Fran Fan, wondering how much stuff will I get throwed at me during the week...LOL...Bet not be on thing throwed at me because I will throw back. Anyway Rise Up Falcons, becuase you all are going to get Kaepernicked... LOL...STANKING UP KAEPERNICKING....GO 9ERS

|New owner enters NASCAR and vows to race
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 04 December 2012 13:09
Brandon Davis will field the No. 30 Toyota for rebranded Swan Racing in the Sprint Cup Series. David Stremme will drive the car, but Davis wants Stremme to actually complete the races in 2013.
When Stremme drove the car for Inception last season, the team was a ``start and park'' and intentionally did not finish races in favor of picking up a quick paycheck.
Davis, the CEO of Swan Energy, said he entered NASCAR to be competitive and is determined to build a competitive race team. He has hired veteran Steve Hmiel as director of competition.

Should mains be strung higher than crosses or vice versa?
View Single Post

There are theories to support tighter and looser crosses.
Ramon highlighted the tighter cross theories above - crosses increase main tension so cross needs to be tighter to keep up with increase to main.
Others say crosses should be lower because 1. it is a shorter string and doesn't need as much tension to feel as stiff, and 2. dropping approximately 2 lbs on the cross allows the mains to slide more easily.
Finally, some say it doesn't matter and just use the same tension.
I will offer an opinion that pros seem to like the crosses a bit lower than the mains in general. From what I have observed this seems more common. This opinion is just based on pro stringing logs I have seen on TT and other web sites.
Then hybrid stringing with a poly and soft gut/syn gut/multi brings in a whole range of other questions. I like stringing the soft gut/syn gut/multi 2-5 lbs tighter than the poly. I do this if poly is in the mains or the crosses - I always increase the soft string 2-5 lbs - maybe +2-3 lbs if the soft string is in the crosses and +4-5 lbs if the soft string is in the mains.
For non-hybrid stringing, I like cross -2 lbs below mains. But, try it both ways and decide for yourself is the only real way to know.

Video of Taiwanese fishing vessel shooting 'revealing,' 'helpful' — De Lima
More News from Erika Sauler
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said Tuesday a video clip of the shooting incident involving the Philippine Coast Guard and a Taiwanese fishing vessel in the Balintang Channel was "very revealing" and "helpful to the investigation."
She said the video, as part of the report of the National Bureau of Investigation, will be released "in due time."
"There will be premature conclusions if we release the video already. It's just part of the whole report," De Lima told reporters after a closed-door conference with the investigating team at the NBI headquarters in Manila.
The May 9 killing of fisherman Hung Shih-chen allegedly by the Coast Guard has sparked outrage in Taiwan.
The Coast Guard said the fishing vessel had intruded into Philippine waters and tried to ram its patrol boat.
President Benigno Aquino III ordered an investigation into the incident.
De Lima said the NBI team was ready and just waiting for the clearance to go to Taiwan, adding that the partial report so far was "substantive."
"More or less, there's a clearer picture. But we reiterate that the result would be more exhaustive, thorough and complete if the NBI team's requests are granted, especially the inspection of the Taiwanese fishing vessel," she said.
De Lima said the team will also try to talk to other members of the crew and request a re-autopsy of the victim if the family will allow it.
"Just like our policy here, we cannot force the family of a deceased person to allow a re-autopsy if they don't want to," she said.

Touch and ExtJS
Hopefully someone here can settle the confusion floating in my head
How are SenchaTouch and ExtJS related? Does SenchaTouch extend the ExtJS library, use a subset of it, or simply share some of the same coding style? What can ExtJS do that Touch can't?
Can I use Touch and ExtJS together? Should I?
I'm planning a web app to be used on desktops and phones/iPads. (It's private use, so I can stipulate the browser used on the desktops i.e. Safari/Chrome/other webkit based browser). Should I develop two different front ends to my JSON store, or is it possible to share code between them?
Sorry for all the noob questions!

1) They are related in that they use some base code and similar ideas. They are built off the same base code, then branch out. Touch is targetted at mobile devices, ExtJS for more general purposes.
2) You probably could, if you really wanted to, but they're really for different things.
3) The data package in Ext 4 will be the same as Touch, so you could share the data code. I think it makes sense to have 2 different front end versions if you're dealing with normal PC's and mobile devices.Evan Trimboli

To add to point #3 of Evan's response:
- Mobile versions of RIAs should be reduced in functionality from their Desktop Web RIA counterparts. I talked a little about this at our Meetup the other day. Unfortunately, the video did not transfer properly, so I am planning on doing a screencast instead.

btw, don't apologize for the "noob" questions. Sencha Touch (not SenchaTouch) is really new. Hell, mobile Web 2.0 development is really new!

I have to thank someone for being so welcoming to me over the course of this year – particularly this year because last year I didn't really know much about him. That person is fellow blogger and London-based stylist Will from Bright Bazaar.
This little post is really just to shout him out and to thank him for taking the best photos of my event in London the other day at Anthropologie on Kings Road so thanks for that Will. He photographed the moodboard that I made during my talk at Anthropologie that you can see above, so thank you Will!
(image: will/bright bazaar)
Hello everyone! I'm back! I'm back! It feels so great to be seated here before my laptop talking to you again. I've missed decor8 so much and though I've loved having some space away from blogging to meet lots of you in person during my book tour, I love getting back to my bloggy roots writing once again – it feels really good. My book tour has wrapped up in the US and UK, so I'm home now and don't plan to do any more book-related events again until mid November in Germany but that won't keep me away from the blog so you'll have me front and center again for a long time. :) Yay – I've missed you but decor8 is back in action!
Over the next few weeks I will share some highlights from the road, namely the people that I met who either make something that caught my eye or who simply said or did something that stuck with me. One of those inspiring peeps is illustrator and textile designer Sarah Jane. I met Sarah at The Creative Connection in St. Paul and found her sweet characters to be most charming. She JUST finished a children's book which published a few days ago with Harper Collins, so you can imagine her excitement. She also has a small line of pretty fabrics and an etsy shop where we sells prints, cards and other things that both children and their parents love.
If you like what you see above, you may be interested in learning more about Sarah Jane… if that's the case, you may visit her blog, etsy shop or find her new book here.

Hello everyone! I've been a bit missing in action, I know, but next week when I'm back from my travels decor8 will be at full swing again with lots of wonderful things to share. I've been busy on my US book tour with Chronicle Books and Anthropologie, gave the keynote at The Creative Connection, and in the early morning I'm flying to London for design week but I'll be back blogging full-time again on Wednesday, September 28th. I can't wait – I've REALLY missed connecting with you here each day but a completely sponsored book tour is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity so I couldn't refuse – plus I got to meet so many of you – yay! BUT it's not over yet… NEXT UP IS LONDON!
This weekend I'll be in London at ANTHROPOLOGIE on KINGS ROAD! I'll be joined by Interior Design extraordinaire Abigail Ahern, Stylist/Photographer Leslie Shewring and Decorate co-author Joanna Copestick for a fun decorating party to talk about mood boards, show how they're done and of course to meet everyone. Anthropologie is throwing a nice spread for us too with Bloody Marys and snacks, so RSVP if you'd like to join us: [email protected] — it's from 1:00-3:00 (I have to leave at 3 pm for another event) so please stop by to say hello to Abigail, Leslie, Joanna and I. We'd love to meet you and connect with other creatives, bloggers, etc.
And as you know, Abigail Ahern (shown above in her gorgeous home) is a total rock star in the design world so just having her as part of this event is a total honor and I'm certain you'd love meeting her and hear her advice about decorating, too. Abigail owns a gorgeous shop in London and is the author of a book that I love called A Girl's Guide to Decorating. The event is completely open to the public, so do stop by – we'll be starting promptly at 1:00.
See you in London!!!
Hello everyone! I've been packing and preparing and now the time has come… I'm heading back to the US for a week only this time I'll be in St. Paul, Minnesota for The Creative Connection where I'll give a keynote and do a signing and I'll also be working with Anthropologie for another fun event and signing out there, too! If you want to join me at either event, please click here for more information on TCC or click here to learn more about the Decorate Anthropologie event in St. Louis Park, MN just outside of St. Paul. I'll be in St. Paul this evening – I can't believe I'm going back to America so soon after my US book tour (I thought) wrapped up! Not quite yet. :)
I'll be blogging from the road so stay tuned… I have a 10 hour flight ahead of me so most likely I won't be back online again until Wednesday. Can't wait to tell you all about this week – I'm excited to see my friends again and make many new ones.

Avalanche make MacKinnon 1st pick of NHL draft
But that had to change just a bit when Jones, who played for Portland of the Western Hockey League last season, slipped to fourth.
Carolina selected Elias Lindholm, who played in Sweden, fifth and the Calgary Flames followed with center Sean Monahan from Ottawa of the Ontario Hockey League.
After picking first the last three years, the Edmonton Oilers took defenseman Darnell Nurse, of Saulte Ste. Marie in the OHL, with the seventh choice. Nurse is the nephew of former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. McNabb posted a picture on Twitter of the two of them smiling together a couple of hours before the draft.
The NHL had two black players picked in the top seven with Jones and Nurse.
McNabb was famously booed by Eagles fans in the 1999 draft and was hurt for years by the reaction. Nurse heard polite applause in Newark.
"We're even, because he went higher than me," Nurse said, "but I didn't get booed at my draft."
The Buffalo Sabres took Finnish defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen with the eighth overall pick.
The New Jersey Devils and the Prudential Center are hosting the draft for the first time. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman was drowned out by boos each time he took the podium. But he finally heard cheers when he announced the Devils were on the clock. It became louder when Bettman announced the Devils traded the ninth pick to Vancouver for Schneider.
"I think you guys are gonna want to hear this," Bettman told the crowd.
Schneider was on the market once the Canucks were unable to dump high-priced goalie Roberto Luongo. Vancouver then selected center Bo Horvat, of London (OHL), with the ninth pick. The Dallas Stars selected forward Valeri Nichushkin, of Russia, with the 10th pick.
The Flyers bucked tradition with the 11th pick and drafted a defenseman, 6-foot-6, 203-pound Samuel Morin. He played for Rimouski of the QMJHL.
The Stanley Cup-champion Chicago Blackhawks ended the first round by picking forward Ryan Hartman, of Plymouth (OHL), with the 30th pick.
Jones, who lived in Colorado as a youth and seemed a perfect fit for the Avalanche, has ties to Tennessee, as well. Popeye Jones owns a house there, and there is still family throughout the state.
"It's a perfect spot for him," Popeye Jones said, proudly. "He'll be motivated there, and ready to go."
Sakic gave Jones some advice on getting Seth more interested in hockey when they both played in Denver more than a decade ago. Popeye Jones later developed a friendship with Colorado goalie, and now coach, Patrick Roy.
The draft storyline that had Jones joining the franchise that encouraged his push into hockey went bust on the very first pick.
"It definitely sounded too good to be true. It turned out that way," Seth Jones said. "But not really. I mean, I'm not unhappy that they didn't choose me. It was their decision, and that's what they thought would be best for their organization.
"You've got to respect that."

Apple Inc.'s clever "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" advertisements several years back defined, and continue to define, Microsoft Corp.'s major flaws as well as any tech analyst: while Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer sounded cocksure and arrogant in public presentations, his commercial equivalent as portrayed by Apple rang true: an insecure suit-wearing nebbish who kept boasting about consistently underwhelming mass-market digital offerings that failed to connect with consumers the way Apple did. Beyond his strength in serving corporate customers, the PC character was contemptuous and distrustful of a consumer market he failed to understand and which didn't love him back.

The Buffalo Bills drafted the 5-foot-11, 215-pounder with the 12th overall pick in 2007. After two solid years, his production started to tail off. Lynch also battled off-the-field legal troubles that led to a three-game suspension. Eventually, he was traded to Seattle in the middle of that 2010 season.
Although the Seahawks fan base quickly warmed to Lynch's rugged running style, it wasn't until the 3:38 mark of the fourth quarter of that playoff game that he truly earned the reputation he has today as arguably the NFL's most punishing runner.
"I think, in a way, it resurrected Marshawn Lynch's career. Ever since that run, he's been a lot more talked about," said former Saints linebacker Scott Shanle, whose inability to bring Lynch down at the line of scrimmage was the key moment of that run. "It was a heckuva run. But it was a lot more bad tackling on our part. And I think more than anything, that run just kind of put in one play the day that we kind of had.
"To me, we were the better team going up there, and we just got behind and made a lot of mistakes. We still had a chance to win at the end but just didn't make the play when it counted."
Just about everybody outside of the Seahawks' locker room thought the Saints entered the day as the better team. The Seahawks sneaked into the playoffs with a 7-9 record, making them the first division winner in NFL history with a losing record. And the 11-5 Saints were just coming off a Super Bowl win the year before.
"No one expected us to win," said longtime Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, now a backup for the Indianapolis Colts. "They were the defending world champs. We were 7-9, won the division, and everyone was talking about how we didn't deserve to be in the playoffs."
Former Seahawks tight end John Carlson, now with the Minnesota Vikings: "Everyone thought we were going to get blown out. But we kind of went blow-for-blow with them. We were scoring a lot of points."
Former Seahawks right guard Mike Gibson, now with the Arizona Cardinals: "The Saints, they really believed that they were going to come back in that game. For us, putting that game away was -- I wouldn't say shocking, because we knew we could beat them, but it was something that we had to do.
"I specifically remember [Saints middle linebacker] Jonathan Vilma running his mouth and saying that 'You guys aren't going to do it,' with some other vulgarities. We're just mouthing off back and forth, and I said, 'Just wait.'"
Hasselbeck caught fire in what turned out to be the last home game of his memorable 10-year tenure in Seattle. He torched the Saints' secondary with a series of deep passes, leading his team to a stunning 34-20 lead.
Then the Saints rallied, closing the gap to 34-30. After the teams traded punts, the Seattle offense took the field with a little more than four minutes to play, hoping to run out the clock.
Gibson was one of several Seahawks who said he was surprised by the play call -- 17 Power -- that came on second-and-10 from Seattle's own 33-yard line. The Seahawks based their run game on zone-blocking schemes that season. But this particular play called for straight-ahead, man-on-man blocking.

American Kennel Club Reveals Houston's Top Dogs
– Nationally, Labrador Retriever Holds Firm in Top Spot While the Bulldog Continues its Ascent –
The AKC also announced their nationwide registration statistics which revealed that for the 18th consecutive year, the Labrador Retriever is the most popular purebred in America. But, while more than twice as many Labs were registered last year than any other breed, making it a likely leader for many years to come, the Bulldog continues to amble its way up the list. It made news last year by returning to the AKC's Top 10 for the first time in over 70 years and now has jumped 6 percent, advancing two spots to land in 8th place.
Here's a look at Houston's Top 10 breeds as compared to the rest of the country:

'Sopranos' wins Peabody Award03/31/00
Staff Report
"It's highly unusual for two series to win Peabody Awards in their debut season," said Peabody Awards director Barry Sherman in a press release about "The Sopranos" and "West Wing," the second series to take honors. "These two programs are indicative of the creativity, innovation and commitment to quality that was evidenced by all the award winners this year."
"The Sopranos" was not the only program from HBO to win last night. Also honored: "A Lesson Before Dying," a made-for-TV movie from the Ernest J. Gaines novel; "Goodnight Moon & Other Sleepytime Tales," the first TV adaptation of Margaret Wise Brown's beloved bedtime story; "Dare to Compete," a chronicle of women in sports written by Mary Carillo and Frank Deford; and "Fists of Freedom," a look at the 1968 Summer Olympics where U.S. medal winners Tommy Smith and John Carlos gave the black power salute from the victory stand.
Sheila Nevins, executive vice president for original programming at HBO, also was recognized with a personal Peabody Award for her work in overseeing the development and production of HBO's critically acclaimed documentary and family programs.

•The Washington Post gathers coverage on yesterday's horrific shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Museum. A guard, Stephen T. Johns, was killed, an unidentified victim was wounded, and the suspect, 88 year-old James W. von Brunn, was also shot and is in critical condition. [WP]
•Meanwhile, the man who allegedly shot and killed a Wesleyan University student and had designs on the campus's Jewish community has pled not guilty. [JTA]
•Reform rabbis issued a statement supporting President Obama's insistence on a settlement freeze in Israel. [JTA]
•Rev. Jeremiah Wright tells the Virginia Daily Press that he forgives Obama for his "bad choices" but that "them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me." Presumably he's talking about Rahm Emanuel and Barney Frank, who personally screen all the president's calls. [Daily Press]
•Tuvya Stern, a jailed financial con artist, was allowed to hold a swanky bar mitzvah for his son in the prison's gym. But as the hora wound down, reality set in, and several employees, including an imam and a rabbi, were disciplined for permitting the bash. [NY Post]

Tornado Causes Major Damage in Moore
MOORE, Okla. (AP) — Television footage shows flattened buildings and fires after a mile-wide tornado moved through the Oklahoma City area.
Video showed homes and buildings in Moore, Okla., were reduced to rubble, and vehicles littered roadways south and southwest of Oklahoma City.
There were no immediate reports of injuries.
The suburb of Moore, where Monday's damage was concentrated, was hit hard by a tornado in 1999 that included the highest winds ever recorded near the earth's surface.

KOLKATA: In a repeat of last year's result the Nanoli Stud Sprinters' Cup (1,200m) fell to a runner in Dr. M. A. M. Ramaswamy's colours, trained by S. Ganapathy and bred at the Poonawalla Estates. The resemblance ended there for unlike outsider Spectacular Quest last year, Haunting Memories was the public choice at 5 to 4 after a flush of late money.
Dynasty and Evatina disputed the lead in the 8-runner field with Haunting Memories well up but four wide. The first-named assumed command in the straight, but under the strong driving of Colm O'Donoghue the favourite took the lead to score by two lengths despite drifting out in the closing stages. Oyster Cove was third and Evatina fourth as they finished in a bunch. The time was 1-11.65.
Having been runner-up last year, Deepak Khaitan's Aperitivo had experience over the gruelling 3,000m of the Olympia Technology Park Stayers' Cup. The consistent son of Diffident made it five-for-five at Kolkata this winter, when his rider, C. Rajendra, challenged midway up the straight. The hard-ridden Gentlemans Deal was a clear second, four lengths in arrears and about the same in front of Scintilating Skill. Vijay Singh has done a marvellous job with the Manjri-bred six-year-old.

A few thoughts ...
First, for every chiled murdered, probably two more are prevented from being born later. The nasties think long term ...
Second, when Britain has been invaded by the French, the Italians and others ... they invariably attack on the South East coast.
As invaders encroach, the indigenous population moves as far away as possible to escape the onslaught. They stop only when they can go no further, ie. another coastline - Cornwall, Wales and Scotland. (And maybe East Anglia?)
Some are able to get across the water to Ireland.
This may explain why these peoples are being targeted - are they not, to a great extent, the original indigenous peoples? The rest of us are a right mix of various European races.
I could be well off the mark ... on the other hand, it makes sense to a great degree especially as we know the prime movers are besotted with genetics..
Someone needs to change the title to "Ritualistic Suicides Promoting Funded Around the Country".
This is not unnecessary, but premeditated psychologically motivated suicide promotion.
This is not the first time i have heard this theory and im afraid to say it sounds feasible ; on top of this , i personnally have been displaced to the nether regions of the UK and cant see ,as a working class Englishman with Welsh heritage ,ever being able to afford to move back to the more central location in England of my raising.

Thousands gather to support ousted East Timor leader
By David Fox
DILI (Reuters) – Thousands of supporters of ousted East
Timor prime minister Mari Alkatiri prepared to march on the
capital on Tuesday, a day after the premier resigned following
a week of protests against his rule.
Hopes for an end to over two months of violence fizzled out
as news of the gathering by Fretilin party supporters spread.
The State Council, an appointed panel which advises
President Xanana Gusmao, met earlier to discuss who would
replace Alkatiri, but the meeting ended without apparent
Fretilin holds 55 of parliament's 88 seats and, according
to the constitution, has the right to nominate the next prime
minister. However, Gusmao is widely believed to be seeking a
non-partisan unity candidate.
In a show of strength, Fretilin rallied thousands of
supporters around 16 km (10 miles) east of the capital to march
on Dili. Alkatiri addressed the crowd, but few could hear him
as his megaphone kept breaking off.
They cheered wildly anyway, chanting "Viva Fretilin" and
"Viva Alkatiri."
"What is going on is going on by undemocratic means and is
against the constitution," Alkatiri told the crowd. "We must
show we are still the party of strength."
He had arrived in the official prime minister's car,
surrounded by bodyguards.
It was Alkatiri's first public appearance in weeks
following widespread protests which peaked after damaging
revelations in an Australian TV documentary linked him to a
plot to arm a civilian militia.
Alkatiri had been under fire anyway for more than two
months for mishandling a dispute in the army that spiraled into
widespread looting and violence in which at least 20 people
The violence only ended with the arrival of a 2,500-strong
Australian-led intervention force.
But as night fell in the capital, hundreds of anti-Alkatiri
protesters were still camped outside the main government
building and scores more packed into trucks and buses, cruising
the streets, still celebrating his resignation.
Australian troops were seen reinforcing checkpoints and
blockades on the road the Fretilin convoy would travel.
Officers have previously said they would allow demonstrations
by all parties as long as they remained peaceful.
Diplomats believe Fretilin's choice for prime minister was
likely to be either the current deputy premier, Ana Pessoa,
Labor Minister Arsenio Bano or Health Minister Rui Maria de
A non-Fretilin unity candidate could be Foreign Minister
Jose Ramos-Horta, although he has said he would only do the job
as a last resort.
East Timor was a Portuguese colony for centuries before a
revolution in Lisbon in 1975 gave the territory a brief taste
of independence. Indonesian troops invaded a few days later and
Jakarta annexed East Timor in 1976.
After a 1999 vote for independence marked by violence
blamed largely on pro-Jakarta militia with ties to the
Indonesian army, an international peacekeeping force moved into
the territory, ushering in a transitional period of U.N.
administration before East Timor became a fully-fledged nation
in 2002.

14.11.07 - Carl Froch has been given a final eliminator for the WBC super-middleweight title against Denis Inkin after being confirmed by the world governing body he is number one in their ratings. The unbeaten British champion, who won his 22nd fight by forcing former world champion Robin Reid into retirement on Friday, will face Inkin (31-0, Russia) for the right to fight Joe Calzaghe (Wales), the WBC champion..
From Monday the boxers promoters have 30 days to reach a deal before a purse bid. The winner of Froch-Inkin will then fight Calzaghe.
Froch hopes Calzaghe will still be fighting at super-middleweight by the time he beats Inkin in the final eliminator.
Im one fight away from the ultimate aim and the biggest prize in boxing, the WBC title, said Carl.
Its nice to be confirmed as number one by the WBC as well because Im up against some stiff competition like Inkin and Juergen Braehmer.
I would like to think Joe Calzaghe will still be there when I get past Inkin, but hes talking about fighting Bernard Hopkins up at light-heavyweight now. But for the moment, I want to keep that dream fight alive.
Inkin is a decent fighter who is cool and skilful. I boxed him as an amateur in 1999 when he beat me on points but I put him down in the last round with an uppercut that really hurt him. This will be revenge.
Frochs promoter Mick Hennessy is delighted the WBC has granted his fighter the final eliminator he deserves.
This is a fight we have wanted for a while and its a massive one for the right to fight Calzaghe, said Mick.
I know that Carl is going to go on and prove me right and become the best super-middleweight on the planet with or without Joe Calzaghe in the division.
I hope Joe hangs around for this one because as far as we are concerned, he has got unfinished business.

On June 6, 2012 South Carolina's General Assembly ratified and Governor Nikki Halley signed into law a bill that repeals a 2011 ruling from the State Supreme Court. In Georgetown County League of Women Voters v. Smith Land Co., 393 S.C. 350 (2011), the court ruled that private citizens are allowed to file lawsuits to enforce the Pollution Control Act. That ruling was a big concern for businesses that anticipated a spate of new, perhaps frivolous, lawsuits.
The new legislation eliminates that possibility and provides clear guidance for how private parties can petition the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) when they suspect that a business is failing to follow environmental rules and regulations.
In the hours after the legislation was ratified, but before it was signed into law by the Governor, environmental groups sued Santee Cooper on coal ash pollution allegations at a power plant in Horry County. Business leaders were angered with the last minute filing, believing there was an agreement with environmental groups to preserve existing lawsuits and that there would be no additional lawsuits. With the filing of this latest matter, there are now five private lawsuits seemingly authorized by the Smith Land decision. Each is unaffected by this legislation.

NEW ORLEANS -- Rookie Klay Thompson scored a career-high 27 points, David Lee added 25 and the Golden State Warriors ended a four-game losing streak with a 101-92 win over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night.
The Warriors trailed 58-51 midway through the third quarter before Thompson sparked a 20-5 run. He hit a 3-pointer and converted a three-point play to give the Warriors a 60-58 lead. He also got the assist on Brandon Rush's wide open 3-pointer that gave Golden State the lead for good, 63-60.
Lee, who also had 11 rebounds, finished the spurt with a jumper that made it 71-63.
Jarrett Jack had his first career triple double for the Hornets with 17 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. Chris Kaman and Xavier Henry added 13 points apiece.
Rush had 16 points for Golden State, which hit 14 3-pointers -- the most New Orleans has allowed this season.

Grilled Asparagus
This is a favorite of ours. We love grilled (or even pan-fried) asaparagus. This recipe is no exception. It's simple, quick, and the salt gives it a really great flavor. You can add a clove of minced garlic if you so desire.
Green Beans to Impress
Wow, these definitely live up to their name! I wanted to try something different & with some flavour to them (meaning, I didn't want to have to eat these with ranch dressing again). I found this recipe at Recipezaar and decided to give it a try. The crunch from the nuts & the saltiness from […]
Crispy Potato Wedges
These yummy little crispy potato wedges are sprinkled with Parmesan cheese while they are baking. They have a really great flavour, and are a nice change from regular old fries. This recipe comes from an elementary school cookbook, which I received from Dawn in our swap. Thanks, Dawn!

And at the rally, not only did Rahul sip on cool mineral water, his audience, too, was getting served packaged drinking water. So much for the woman empowerment that Rahul talks about.
