Dallas Cowboys
• Location: Alamodome, San Antonio
• Camp dates: July 25-Aug. 8
• Team Web site | Training camp information/Practice schedule
• What Matt Mosley says: The Cowboys practice in the Alamodome, which takes its name from the famous landmark located only a few blocks away. The facility has all the warmth of a mausoleum, but at least you won't have trouble finding a seat. Make sure you have at least one meal at Boudro's on the River Walk. The restaurant fuses tastes from Mexico, east Texas, the Texas Hill Country and Louisiana, and it offers a nice view of the city's famous walkway. Order the mesquite-grilled Texas quail or the seabass. And if you're in the mood for golf, check out The Quarry Golf Club. It's a fun layout and the limestone from this old quarry was used on the state capitol building.
• What to do besides training camp: For those into history, San Antonio is a good vacation destination. Visit the Alamo, site of one of the most famous battles in American history. Take a tour of downtown San Antonio to learn about the city's rich past. If you're looking for something to do with children, visit the San Antonio Zoo, one of the best in the country, or the Six Flags Fiesta Texas theme park.
New York Giants
• Location: University of Albany, Albany, N.Y.
• Camp dates: July 28-Aug. 23
• Team Web site | Training camp information/Practice schedule | Directions and parking
• What Jeffri Chadiha says: Talk about your minimalist environments. Once you reach the campus of the University of Albany, you realize the Giants planned training camp in the right place; fans don't hang around as they do at other places. They line the sidelines during practices, but they usually vanish following each session. After that, the campus starts to feel like a compound controlled by Giants coach Tom Coughlin. The team's camp offers few social activities -- unless you're willing to drive into town.
• What to do besides training camp: The natural question to ask is, what is there to do in Albany? First, a family can take a tour of the state capitol building. Second, one can plan a day trip to Saratoga Springs. Albany also has a number of theaters, as well as a symphony orchestra for those into the arts.
Philadelphia Eagles
• Location: Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pa.
• Camp dates: July 31-Aug. 15
• Team Web site | Training camp information/Practice schedule | Directions
• What Jeffri Chadiha says: One trip to the Eagles' camp at Lehigh and you'll think that you're attending an outdoor concert. Thousands of fans show up for each practice session, and they're as vocal as any group in the NFL. Many come to grab autographs from the players who are designated to sign each day, but most just want to be around the team. The only negative is the labyrinthine streets that wind throughout the campus. But the scenery especially the lush rolling hills makes it easier to deal with getting lost.
• What to do besides training camp: One of the largest music festivals in the country, Musikfest, takes place in Bethlehem from Aug. 3-12, when more than 300 performers from across the globe will descend on the city.
Washington Redskins
• Location: Redskins Park, Ashburn, Va.
• Camp dates: July 27-Aug. 8
• Team Web site | Training camp information | Practice schedule | Directions and parking
• What Jeffri Chadiha says: Here is another team that prefers to stay home for training camp. The benefit is that Redskins fans don't have to drive hours to follow their team. The downside is that Redskins Park can be a logistical nightmare. The parking situation can get pretty bad; the droves of fans who show up easily can create a frustrating gridlock on nearby streets. That said, this is another team with faithful followers who don't mind those kinds of headaches to get a peek at their squad.
• What to do besides training camp: There is a water park about 10 minutes from Ashburn in Centreville, and an animal park in Leesburg. The best part about Ashburn is that it is only 45 minutes from Washington, D.C., allowing a Redskins fan to watch training camp in the morning and return to the city in the afternoon.
Chicago Bears
• Location: Olivet Nazarene University, Bourbonnais, Ill.
• Camp dates: July 27-Aug. 18
• Team Web site | Training camp information/Practice schedule | Directions and parking
• What John Clayton says: Since moving to Bourbonnais, the Bears have set up one of the league's best camps for fans. There are so many interactive things for fans that it's almost like a small-scale Bears theme park. There are stands to sit and review the quickness of the defense. Fans line up outside of the ropes to watch the offense improve. Parking space is ample.
• What to do besides training camp: Kankakee, the next town over from Bourbonnais, is home to the second-largest state park in Illinois, as well as Exploration Station -- considered one of the top children's museums in the country. If fans are looking for an enjoyable activity, they should visit Splash Valley Aquatic Park. The Bears' training camp can be a perfect half-day trip for those looking to escape the congestion of a big city, indeed a big-shouldered, windy city.
Detroit Lions
• Location: Team practice facility, Detroit
• Camp dates: July 26-Aug. 22 (Closed to public)
• Team Web site
• What John Clayton says: The Lions close training camp practices to the public. Too bad. They have an incredible facility, which would be great for fans to tour. Obviously, this place is for business. The indoor facility is spacious and has plenty of standing room on the second floor to view the action. The outside field is nicely maintained and spacious, located on the outskirts of the Ford Motor Co. Each day at practice Bill Ford Jr. drives over a new car.
• What to do besides training camp: Since you can't watch the Lions training camp in the day, catch a Tigers game in the evening. One must also visit the Henry Ford Museum, with its impressive historical artifacts that include the Rosa Parks Bus. The museum also includes an eight-story IMAX theater. The Detroit Zoo has the world's largest polar bear exhibit; its National Amphibian Conservation Center features an indoor rainforest. And the Detroit Science Center is an excellent place for children to explore.
Green Bay Packers
• Location: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wis.
• Camp dates: July 28-Aug. 21
• Team Web site | Training camp information | Practice schedule | Directions | Parking
• What John Clayton says: It's fitting that a community-owned team has a community-based practice for training camp. Wisconsin natives plan their summer vacations around Packer practices. The team trains across the street from Lambeau Field, and police stop traffic to make sure players and fans make it over to the field safely and in a timely fashion. One of the highlights is watching kids lend their bikes to players, who ride with the youngsters across the parking lot on return to the locker room. It's one of the best scenes of summer.
• What to do besides training camp: Player accessibility is excellent at Packers' training camp. A visit to Lambeau in August is the best time to land an autograph from your favorite Packer. Green Bay has comfortable weather in the summer. It is home to a national railroad museum, the Packers Hall of Fame and Bay Beach Amusement Park. If you are in the mood for a day trip, catch a Milwaukee Brewers game at Miller Park.
Minnesota Vikings
• Location: Minnesota State University, Mankato, Minn.
• Camp dates: July 27-Aug. 15
• Team Web site | Training camp information | Practice schedule | Directions
• What John Clayton says: The Vikings continue to train at Minnesota State University, and there is no reason to leave. The Vikings practice off two fields. Morning practice is staged on the open practice field near the stadium, but the main events are scheduled in the stadium. It's one of the best settings for their annual scrimmage against the Chiefs. Vikings fans fill the seats and an announcer keeps everyone informed of the action when the team is practicing in the stadium.
• What to do besides training camp: Located in southwestern Minnesota, Mankato provides a relaxing atmosphere in the summer and enjoys a collection of beaches. It also has a civic center that has hosted internationally renowned ice events.
Atlanta Falcons
• Location: Team training facility, Flowery Branch, Ga.
• Camp dates: July 26-Aug. 18
• Team Web site (Training camp information not yet available on team's site)
• What Len Pasquarelli says: The Falcons' camp is about an hour's drive from Atlanta, so it's a little bit of a hike. But if you've got some time to kill, nearby Lake Lanier offers fishing, boating, water-skiing, beaches and an upscale resort hotel. And Helen, Ga., a picturesque getaway area in the north Georgia mountains, is an easy drive. Just don't tell the ladies about all the outlet malls in the area. Oh, yeah, stop at one of the roadside kiosks in Hall County and pick up some fresh produce or boiled peanuts.
• What to do besides training camp: Flowery Branch, on the shores of Lake Lanier, is in the development stage and its best selling point is the serenity. One place to visit nearby is the Elachee Nature Science Center, a good place for families as it has a preserve, interactive museum, live animal exhibits and more than 13 miles of hiking trails. Flowery Branch just added a Wal-Mart something that excites members of the Falcons public relations department.
Carolina Panthers
• Location: Wofford College, Spartanburg, S.C.
• Camp dates: July 28-Aug. 22
• Team Web site | Training camp information | Practice schedule | Directions and parking
• What Len Pasquarelli says: One of our favorite summer venues, this is a training camp as it should be: tucked away in a terrific small school, with few distractions for players. Wofford College just happens to be the alma mater of Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, and the layout is excellent. Spartanburg is in the heart of a burgeoning R&D and manufacturing area, so you can make a trip to the BMW plant. Or, if you're really adventurous, hike down to one of the old mills on Lawson's Fork Creek or the Pacolet River.
• What to do besides training camp: Spartanburg features the world-famous Beacon Drive In. Huge portions, delicious tea and massive bowls of ice cream highlight a restaurant at which everyone in the family should find something to enjoy. Spartanburg is home to the only BMW plant in North America. The BMW Zentrum located next to the plant offers individual and group tours. Besides high-tech exhibits, one can see "art cars" designed by famous artists such as Andy Warhol and Frank Stella.
New Orleans Saints
• Location: Millsaps College, Jackson, Miss.
• Camp dates: July 26-Aug. 19
• Team Web site | Training camp information/Practice schedule/Directions
• What Len Pasquarelli says: The Saints will train for a second straight summer at Millsaps College. Pack a comfortable pair of shoes, because there's a lot of walking to do on campus, and many of the paths to the practice fields are unpaved. One practice field offers a view (across the highway) of the historic Veterans Memorial Stadium. And speaking of history, there is plenty of it in Jackson, especially if you're into antebellum studies. Famed author Eudora Welty lived only about three blocks from the Millsaps campus, and the school houses a collection of her papers.
• What to do besides training camp: The Atlanta Braves' Double-A affiliate, the Mississippi Braves, plays their home games about 10 minutes from Jackson at Trustmark Park. If you are a New Orleans native and want to taste your traditional cuisine, the place to eat is Que Sera. Looking for culture, visit the Mississippi Museum of Art and the Mississippi Blues Trail. It's also worth noting that Vicksburg, some 50 miles west, has a few casinos and some telling Civil War history.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
• Location: Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex, Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
• Camp dates: July 27-Aug. 16
• Team Web site | Training camp information/Practice schedule
• What Len Pasquarelli says: The Bucs train at the Disney Wide World of Sports Complex, and the place is aptly named. Beyond the camp practices, there's almost always some kind of athletic endeavor taking place, whether it's an AAU basketball game at the Milk House or a soccer tournament on one of the several pitches that surround the Bucs' practice fields. And you can usually catch a baseball game, between practices, at the stadium where the Atlanta Braves play spring ball. Bring a couple bottles of water, because it's always hot here.
• What to do besides training camp: This training camp might be in the world's most convenient location. Disney World, Epcot Center, MGM Studios and SeaWorld are just a few of the places nearby one could visit. There is no need for a guide here.
Arizona Cardinals
• Location: Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Ariz.
• Camp dates: July 29-Aug. 23
• Team Web site | Training camp information/Practice schedule
• What John Clayton says: Flagstaff is a little cooler than the 100-degree temperatures one can expect in Phoenix, but there is plenty of excitement especially lightning storms on the Northern Arizona University campus when the Cardinals practice. On any given day a storm cell can arrive quickly onto the scene and scare rookies. I've seen trees struck by lightning after some practices. The Cardinals' camp has one of the longest lines of autograph-seeking fans, and players often oblige those requests.
• What to do besides training camp: Watch Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart throw passes in the morning and view the red rocks of Sedona in the afternoon. The Grand Canyon is but 80 miles away. Closer are the San Francisco Peaks and Sunset Crater.
St. Louis Rams
• Location: Team practice facility, St. Louis
• Camp dates: July 27-Aug. 19
• Team Web site | Training camp information/Directions | Practice schedule
• What John Clayton says: Rams fans can anticipate an easy time of it at team headquarters during camp. You can walk to the back of the team facility and have plenty of room to decide whether to watch the offense or the defense. Several restaurants are found nearby for fast food. It's also a great place to pack a lunch and watch the team train. Some of the offensive practices are the best in football because of their tempo and efficiency.
• What to do besides training camp: If you are planning on visiting the Rams' camp, try to work your schedule around the home games of the St. Louis Cardinals. Be sure to visit the Anheuser-Busch Center, which serves as a venue for youth and collegiate sports. Get an up-close view the Gateway Arch, which serves as the "gateway to the West." And should it rain during your stay, St. Louis also has an interesting mix of concert halls and art exhibits.
San Francisco 49ers
• Location: Team practice facility, Santa Clara, Calif.
• Camp dates: July 29-Aug. 24 (Nine sessions open; tickets are free)
• Team Web site | Training camp information/Practice schedule
• What John Clayton says: What's better than 49er camp? First, it's located on the outside of Great America amusement park, which could make for a great doubleheader for the entire family. Catch a morning or afternoon practice with one of the up-and-coming teams in football and slide over to the theme park. The 49ers train at their headquarters and have a nice setup for fans, with stands and refreshments.
• What to do besides training camp: Santa Clara is 45 minutes from downtown San Francisco; visit 49ers' camp in the morning and shop in Union Square in the afternoon. Other must-see places in San Francisco include Alcatraz, Pier 39, Golden Gate Park and the Ferry building.
Seattle Seahawks
• Location: Team practice facility, Kirkland, Wash.
• Camp dates: July 28-Aug. 16 (Closed to public)
• Team Web site
• What John Clayton says: The Seahawks close practice to the public now that they have returned to the team facility on the outskirts of Seattle, but that's only because their headquarters are located in a residential area. Next year, the team will move to nearby Renton and camps will be open to the public. The team relocated its camp out of Eastern Washington University, which has a nice campus that's on the other side of the state.
• What to do besides training camp: Just east of Seattle, Kirkland offers many relaxation points to view the waters of Lake Washington. It also has art galleries that might be worth viewing. The best part about Kirkland is its proximity to the Emerald City; one can visit the Space Needle in the morning and watch a couple of hours of training camp in the afternoon.
(Note: The Seahawks have announced their annual scrimmage will be held Aug. 4 at Seattle's Memorial Stadium; tickets range from $5 to $10 and will be available starting July 23 through Ticketmaster and the Seahawks Web site. Also, the team will practice Aug. 8 at Husky Stadium; it is free and open to the public.)

'Synthetic' marijuana is problem for US military
San Diego U.S. troops are increasingly using an easy-to-get herbal mix called "Spice," which mimics a marijuana high, is hard to detect and can bring on hallucinations that last for days.
The abuse of the substance has so alarmed military officials that they've launched an aggressive testing program that this year has led to the investigation of more than 1,100 suspected users.
So-called "synthetic" pot is readily available on the Internet and has become popular nationwide in recent years, but its use among troops and sailors has raised concerns among the Pentagon brass.
"You can just imagine the work that we do in a military environment," said Mark Ridley, deputy director of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, adding, "you need to be in your right mind when you do a job. That's why the Navy has always taken a zero tolerance policy toward drugs."
Two years ago, only 29 Marines and sailors were investigated for Spice. This year, the number topped 700, the investigative service said. Those found guilty of using Spice are kicked out, although the Navy does not track the overall number of dismissals.
The Air Force has punished 497 airmen so far this year, compared to last year's 380, according to figures provided by the Pentagon. The Army does not track Spice investigations but says it has medically treated 119 soldiers for the synthetic drug in total.
Military officials emphasize those caught represent a tiny fraction of all service members and note none was in a leadership position or believed high while on duty.
Spice is made up of exotic plants from Asia like Blue Lotus and Bay Bean. Their leaves are coated with chemicals that mimic the effects of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, but are five to 200 times more potent.
More than 40 states have banned some of its chemicals, prompting sellers to turn to the Internet, where it is marketed as incense or potpourri. In some states, Spice is sold at bars, smoke shops and convenience stores.
Sellers based in the United States and Europe advertising the incense on the Internet did not respond to emails or calls seeking comment.
The packets often say the ingredients are not for human consumption and are for aromatherapy. They are described as "mood enhancing" and "long lasting." Some of the sellers' Web sites say they do not sell herbal mixes containing any illegal chemicals and say they are offering a "legal high."
Service members preferred it because up until this year there was no way to detect it with urine tests. A test was developed after the Drug Enforcement Administration put a one-year emergency ban on five chemicals found in the drug.
Manufacturers are adapting to avoid detection, even on the new tests, and skirt new laws banning the main chemicals, officials say.
"It's a moving target," said Capt. J.A. "Cappy" Surette, spokesman for the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.
The military can calibrate its equipment to test for those five banned chemicals "but underground chemists can keep altering the properties and make up to more than 100 permutations," Surette said.

MVP gets fresh four-year term as SBP president
MANILA, Philippines — The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas will prioritize grassroots development and an improved performance by the national team under communications magnate Manny V. Pangilinan, who was elected to another four-year term as head of the cage body.
"I think we have to do better than what we've done before and that's our goal," said Pangilinan, who helped rescue the nation's favorite sport from the doldrums back in 2007.
He got the chance to lead the group to newer heights during the SBP national congress yesterday that elected familiar names to the top posts.
The elections were attended by 41 out of 63 voting members from the geographic, school, professional and commercial sectors with the voters electing by acclamation the 25-man board of trustees, which later on selected the top officers of the Fiba-recognized association.
The SBP maintained status quo with Misamis Oriental governor and SBP chair Oscar Moreno, Maynilad president Ricky Vargas (vice chair), Dr. Jay Adalem (treasurer) and lawyer Marievic Ramos-Anonuevo earning fresh four-year terms until the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Appointed officials Sonny Barrios (executive director) and Bernie Atienza (deputy executive director) also kept their posts. Philippine Olympic Committee chair Tom Carrasco and secretary general Steve Hontiveros came as POC observers of the proceedings.
"Now, I will encourage the board to do a fresh, new strategic planning exercise to lay out the programs for the next four years," said Pangilinan, chair of PLDT/Smart and utility companies Meralco and Maynilad.
Aside from the continuity of programs in the grassroots and for the youth, Pangilinan also reiterated that the target is to qualify in the 2014 Fiba World Championship in Spain, where three Asian slots are available.
The Smart Gilas national team, which has a deep pool of professional and amateur players, will attempt to grab one of those continental spots in the Fiba Asia Championship next year in Beirut.
But scheduling conflicts may keep the pros out of the national team as the Gilas coaching staff fears that PBA players could be excluded from the world championship qualifier that starts first week of August 2013 due to a scheduling conflict.
"I think that majority of the national team should come from the PBA," said Pangilinan, team owner of Talk 'N Text and Meralco in the pro league.
Named members of the 25-man board of trustees were Pangilinan, Vargas, PBA Commissioner Chito Salud and PBA governor Robert Non from the pro league, and Fr. Vic Calvo (NCAA), Junel Baculi (UAAP), Daniel Danilo Soria, Marguerite Hornby and Edilberto Abalos from the school sector.
Geographical sector representatives Reynaldo Gamboa (PCCL), Adalem (Naascu), Atienza, Louie Juico, Virgilio Cortez, Fr. Paul De Vera, Saturnino Belen, Raul Alcoseba, Fr. Joseph Haw, Regino Boy Cua and Moreno were also picked as members of the board.
Representing the commercial sector were Ramon Segismundo (PBA D-League), Robert Uy and Pedro Alfaro Jr. while Nic Jorge Jr. (Small Basketeers of the Philippines) and Ma. Vivian P. Manila (WNCAA) were selected as representatives of the special youth and special women sectors.

My dishwasher quit working the week before Thanksgiving, and to say the least, my wife was quite concerned. I did not know what was wrong, until I found the info on this website, including a how to repair video. I watched the repair video on the website when I ordered the parts. Other than my wash arm being different from what was shown in the video, it went exactly as shown in the video. I'm glad that the video, and the bag with the parts told me that there are fewer parts than originally were installed on the original. The parts looked like they had been redesigned a little, and were easier to assemble. Overall, I will be getting any repair parts I need for other appliance repairs in the future from here. Thank you for making this experience as easy as it was.

Born in Ft. Worth, Texas, Brian picked up the game of golf from his father, a scratch player for the All-Army Team. He longed for the day to play like his father. Unfortunately, Brian was not able to play golf on the military courses because of base age restrictions. At times, his father would take him out and let him hit balls once they were on the course. At the age of 10, the family was relocated to Fort Rucker, AL, where Brian discovered that the age restriction to play golf was 8! Brian's first words were, "We should have been here two years ago!" That summer Brian's mom dropped him off at the course on her way to work and picked him up on her way home. He spent his entire summer days hitting balls and practicing, waiting for the moment that someone would ask him to play. That day finally came and it was truly the start of his career. Nothing could stop him from playing in everything his family could get him in. He lived and breathed golf even more than before and always said that he was going to play golf as a professional. Brian played golf on the Daleville High School golf team when he was in the 7th grade and continued to play high school golf until graduation. During... Read More

Goldstone to Israel: This Is Serious
Judge isn't happy with reaction to his U.N. report
Richard Goldstone has had it with everyone, apparently. The South African judge, who spearheaded a controversial United Nations inquiry into war crimes committed during last winter's Gaza war, writes in today's Jerusalem Post that his critics have not made any effort to "come to grips" with the substance of the allegations put forward in the 575-page document, which accuses both Israel and Hamas of violating international law against targeting civilians. On the flip side, he adds, his fans don't even seem to be paying attention to what he's said, particularly, as he noted last week, when it comes to Hamas's culpability. The report "has been fulsomely approved by those whose interests it is thought to serve, and rejected by those of the opposite view," Goldstone writes. "Those who attack it do so too often by making personal attacks on its authors' motives and those who approve it rely on its authors' reputations."
That said, he still argues, vociferously, that it was a mistake for Israel's government to pass on cooperating with the report, and a mistake for Israel to focus on attacking him, personally, rather than addressing the questions the report raised, specifically concerning IDF strikes on civilian installations like sanitation works and chicken farms. Now, with the report headed for the Security Council—and a potential referral to the International Criminal Court—Goldstone says it's time for Israel's leaders to head off any further damage by conducting a new government inquiry. (And so, for that matter, does at least one former Israeli diplomat, Avi Primor, who told a German newspaper in an interview published today that Israel ought to "submit our position, our arguments, and not stay away.") Netanyahu's government has, thus far, pointed to a lengthy internal IDF report released over the summer, but that's done nothing to appease critics—which, Goldstone argues, is reason enough to do another one. "Israel has an internationally renowned and respected judiciary that should be envy of many other countries in the region," he writes. "Has it the will?"

The new Burberry London - and I must say, I'm liking it a lot. I apply fragrance pretty lightly, and this must be one powerful juice.
There's a very familiar note that I keep noticing - haven't quite sussed it out yet. This too, is odd, because I can rarely smell the fragrance I'm wearing. Granted, London is more smoky/tobacco-y/darker than what I usually wear.

Microsoft Windows Phone 7 story updated with comment from T-Mobile and stock movement.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As big-splash debuts go, Microsoft's (MSFT - Get Report) Windows Phone 7 launch at AT&T (T - Get Report) and T-Mobile didn't exactly make waves Monday.
Even with a glitzy media intro last month hosted by champion inside-seller and company chief Steve Ballmer, Microsoft, which spent a reported $100 million on the phone's advertising campaign, sold a mere 40,000 Windows 7 phones Monday, according to a market research source who tracks phone sales.
The anemic sales number does not include the 89,000 Microsoft employees that will be given free Windows 7 phones.Microsoft reps declined to comment. A T-Mobile spokeswoman did not offer a number of phones sold, but said Tuesday that the Win7 phone was "already receiving strong interest from our customers right out of the gate." Trounced by Apple's (AAPL - Get Report) iPhone and the rise of Google's (GOOG - Get Report) Android phones, Microsoft ditched its Windows Mobile software and engineered Windows Phone 7 to get a crucial restart in the mobile market. Windows Phone 7 is a make-or-break moment in smartphones as the leaders threaten to run off with the market. So how does 40,000 Window 7 phones measure up? Google said last month that it was selling 200,000 Android phones a day. And Apple has said that its iPhone sales rate was 270,000 a day.

Cairo - Confederation of African Football president Issa Hayatou has denied allegations he was paid to vote for Qatar's successful 2022 Soccer World Cup bid, adding he was reserving his right to seek legal redress.
The denial came two days after a British parliamentary inquiry into why England had failed to secure the 2018 finals was told that Hayatou, the long-time leader of African football, and fellow FIFA executive committee member Jacques Anouma of the Ivory Coast were paid by Qatar.
Hayatou, in a statement released by CAF in Cairo, said he "categorically denied allegations of corruption brought against him".
Hayatou was also accused of bribery last year in a Sunday newspaper sting and faces the possibility of an investigation by the International Olympic Committee, of which he is also a member.
"(The) CAF president is ready to co-operate with who ever would like to investigate the accusations and reserves the right to seek legal redress against those propagating this campaign of denigration.
"This kind of reporting to create and propagate false information to destroy his reputation, leadership and integrity, will not succeed," the statement added.
Hayatou's denial follows Qatar on Wednesday also refuting claims Hayatou and Anouma had been paid for their votes.
But CAF, in their statement, did furnish details of a sponsorship Qatar paid for the right to address CAF members at its annual congress in Luanda last year.
"In an attempt to drum up support for their bid, the Qatar bid committee offered CAF $1.8 million, sponsoring fee for (the) CAF General Assembly. In return, Qatar 2022 Bid Committee was given the exclusive rights to address the general assembly and make presentations to members."
CAF said the sponsorship had been approved by its executive committee and an agreement signed with the Qatari bid committee.
It is the first recorded incident of a bidding country paying for the right to address a congress of one of FIFA's six member confederations.
There has been no comment yet from Anouma, who recently won another four-year term on the FIFA executive committee.
However, the website of the Ivorian Football Federation, which regularly posts statements from Anouma, published Qatar's denials.

Rookies Tiu and Ellis new 3-point, slamdunk champs as Villanueva defends Obstacle title
More News from Celest R. Flores
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — Rookies Chris Tiu and Chris Ellis stood out while Jonas Villanueva kept his streak in their respective Skills Challenge on Friday night as the 2013 PBA All-Star weekend kicked off in Digos City in Davao.
Rain or Shine's Tiu uncorked 21 points in the final round of the Three-point shootout, outscoring Alaska's JVee Casio and Air21's Niño Cañaleta.
Tiu dethroned Meralco's Mark Macapagal, who didn't make the final cut along San Mig Coffee's James Yap, Petron's Marcio Lassiter, Ginebra's Josh Urbiztondo, and Global Port's Willie Miller.
Meanwhile, Ellis lived up to his billing as the "Air Force," and impressed the judges in the first two rounds with two spectacular throwdowns — a showcase of his tremendous hops.
Ellis, though, had a less perfect performance in the final round but it was still enough to get him the Slamdunk competition crown, as competitor Elmer Espiritu botched his second dunk.
Only Villanueva remained the defending champion in the annual festivities, showcasing his uncanny speed, accuracy and skills anew in the Obstacle challenge.
Villanueva clocked in at 26.3 seconds — the second best time in history — to extend his reign to four straight years, edging Pamboy Raymundo and Chris Ellis.
Raymundo finished last with 30.3 seconds while Ellis narrowly missed the victory, finishing with 28.1 seconds after he failed to dunk the ball in the final shot.

This bag seems to be made of quality materials and has good movement being that it's not a true mummy shape. I'm not totally convinced that the zippers are of the best quality however I'll update this review after a lengthy section hike. Lots of pretty cool features like the blanket to tuck in by your head as well as the watch pocket. The pillow sleeve is a nice feature as well. Not thrilled with the stuff sack included with the bag and will probably end up replacing. All in all since I only paid $118.99 it's a decent bag.

Born in Pennsylvania and now live in NJ. Retired teachers and now enjoy sharing our home with guests who also love the beautiful allure and adventure of staying in the central part Poconos
Constance purchased this house in 2005
Our family has enjoyed vacationing in the Poconos for years. Purchased our home in 2005 in the beautiful community of Pinecrest Lake Golf and Country Club.
Private community with amenities: See description
We just returned from a week's stay in June 2008. We loved the house - our entire family particularly loved the cozy dining/sitting room and its great views of the lake. We really appreciated your home's amenities (the wonderful kitchen, comfy beds and chairs, great deck and grill), as well as all the thoughtful details like the booster seat, children's toys, great reading lights and tvs in the bedrooms, and the local newspapers and information on the community that you had throughout the house.
The Pinecrest community was great. My dad enjoyed his morning stroll through the woods and around the lake, my mom spent countless hours sketching the outdoors from the dining room, and our toddler loved the pool and lake (as did all the adults). Everyone we met was incredibly friendly and nice. We also loved your suggestions on where to eat - the 2-2-2 breakfast at the Jubilee was a hit with everyone.
My family and I enjoyed this home and community very much. The kids loved trying to catch fish in the lake and using the boats. We loved the huge pool too. The house is well maintained and you can't beat the view of the lake from the deck. We will be back.
Everything was perfect, we enjoy a great long weekend and had a perfect Easter.
We love the house and the location, everything was even better than advertise.
The owner and the manager were always available and ready to help.
We will definitely consider renting the house again.
We had a lovely relaxing weekend!
Constance answered all emails/questions promptly, and the place was exactly as described and pictured. Even though we arrived late and in bad weather, we were greeted by Carolyn, who was friendly and helpful. Despite having rain the majority of our time there, we made good use of the well-appointed kitchen, the wood burning fireplace, and the beautiful views. We look forward to returning again and again!
We were thrilled with our stay. This was our second year visiting this property. The home was clean and well maintained. The lake and pool are within walking distance. They provided hours of fun for my husband to fish, my 1 year old son to build sand castles, and myself to swim. Our two dogs loved walking the trails. Connie was a pleasure to work with and she responded promptly to all emails prior, during, and after our stay. It is without reservation that we would recommend this property (and we may go back again next year ourselves!).
This is my 3rd time renting from Connie and as always it was a great rental. The lake house is just gorgeous. Everything is pretty much new and fresh and above all clean. The house is in a perfect spot in the community for a nice walk to wherever your destination. No need to constantly load up the car. The location in Poconos is prefect too. You are not in the middle of things but not too far to have a quick trip for some fun. I didn't bring my dog this trip but I have to say you would never know they allow dogs. The house is very clean and well maintained. I can't recommend it enough. My only complaint is that I wish the owner had more properties for me to visit!
In the winter X-Country Skiing, Ice Skating, Ice Fishing, if adventurous (on site). Downhill Skiing, Snow Tubing, Snow Boarding (off site).Spring. summer and fall use our boats (kayak and/or canoe), fish (Pinecrest Lake has great fishing PA License Required), playground, tennis (fee) , etc. June 20th mountainside pool opens and our sandy beach on the lake has a float and picnic tables.

Two years in a row we have stayed at this property during the Fastpitch 56 tournament. The manager took my reservations personally and was very accommodating. The day time desk clerk even stayed over to assist with any need we may have. One the best hotel experiences I have ever had!
1st floor guest
April 21, 2015
Never thought the first floor would be as good I thought. Expected lots noise. Very convenient and easy to enter and exit. Not having to use the lift or the stairs made it more enjoyable. Always greeted by the hotel staff made me feel very welcome. Always look forward to Thursday Hot Meal the hotel provides every week. Hotel manager always made sure of my satisfaction and needs. Always had my room cleaned on time. Vehicle parking was never a problem.
Overall, I was very satisfied with the entire 52 nights of my stay.
Great experience!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Tvan Staff was unfriendly I like the location of this hotel and it has a terrific gym. Unfortunately the morning staff was quite unfriendly, both at the front desk and in the restaurant. When I asked the front desk for walking directions to my first meeting, the attendant provided me with a map but did not know the street names and eventually told me to go underground. When I suggested that I would likely get more lost underground, she said she couldn't help me. May 28, 2014

Rated 1 out of 5 by Bobby5555 Rude staff, no SPG recognition I stayed with two other friends. We're all in our mid twenties, but I've been a platinum member for over a year, and my two friends are gold and platinum. There was a mixup about our booking when I arrived, and the manager essentially told me to call some 1-800 number if I wanted to complain saying "I've done enough for you". All our interactions with staff were just horrifying... maybe because of our age? Or because we used our points for the stay? But we're respectable young professionals - the least they could do is respect us back. I will never stay at this hotel again, and honestly the weekend itself was such an eye-opener that I'm not rushing back to the city anytime soon. Starwood continues to test my loyalty, as soon as airbnb gets a rewards program I'm gone. May 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by nanuk The hotel respect is client i would love to thanx the staff of the hotel i got stock in the elevator with 3 other ppl and the staff did all what they could to make it right give me a free night in a excutive suite plus a bottle of champagne they did not have to but still did because they care about the client... i would recomend this hotel to all and will go there again in the future thx for the great stay and specialy for the suite me and my wife love it May 20, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyGuest11 Beautiful Hotel As soon as you walk in your eyes go everywhere. It's such a beautiful hotel, the staff were always helpful and curtious. They have a beautiful bar and lounge and the spa was amazing. I din't get a chance to use the gym but i did look in and it had everything you would need for your daily exercise. i stayed for a few days durning the Grand Prix and it was raining a lot so i stayed at the hotel and had some drinks in the lounge and had a wonderful time. I have also booked a few meetings at the hotel and the service was great. This is the only hotel i will stay at in Montreal. May 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Neal77 Birthday Weekend Great location for seeing the downtown attractions including Old Montreal plus close to Metro for further out attractions. Staff accommodated my request for a late checkout. Hotel is near central Via Rail station which we used to come to Montreal! Told staff at checkout that bathtub was not clearing water from our showers very quickly - our only fault with everything. Could use exhaust fan in bathroom is a suggestion. May 15, 2014

The hotel is very comfortable and conveniently located within walking distance of downtown destinations, particfulalrly to the Metro (subway), Palais des Congres anbd Ste. Catherine Street. May 11, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Swap Le Centre Sheraton-Montreal- Below expectations Very unsatisfactory overall because 1. I could not get a microwave nor a refrigerator on the first day 2. The front desk did not bother to give me a call next day and show their interest if there is a possibility to help me with the arrangements. 3. I also wanted to extend my stay for complete week because my office was very closely located. They still did not bother to update me. May 10, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by rosco98 Great location The hotel has all the amenities and it is located north of bell Centre and Rue St. Catherine. The rooms must have sound barriers because I did not hear the noise from the hallway. Comfortable beds and the settings for temperature in the room actually work on demand. Fridge would be nice.

Rated 3 out of 5 by daniel757 All Club Room experiences should be the same All club room and lounge access privileges and amenities throughout the Sheraton system should offer guests the same quality experience. This is not the case in Montreal compared to Frankfurt where I stayed in March 2014. Frankfurt was much superior to Montreal in every way. April 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Max10 great location This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel. It's location is within walking distance to most things downtown. Rooms are a good size with comfortable beds. Shopping, restaurants, nightlife are just a few blocks away. April 28, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ottawa2003 Excellent Location Given the size of the hotel ( hotel was full due to a national dance competition) , service at reception was fast and responsive to my requirements. The Montreal location was very central for tourism. April 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by SamuelZ A bit too crowd, location is great This is the most busy Sheraton I ever visit, so many people check in when I arrive. And aircondition in room is too loud. Overall I would rate it average, somewhat better than fourpoints, good for business travel, close to CBD. April 21, 2014
