VF saidI'll try to add a new Bug on FB Bug Tracker with it. Have searched for it in the current list but didn't find nothing related.
Yes, it happens constantly. Trying to find a fix for that.
Looks like it is FB's bug which is already reported. So this proves they not even tested IFrame tabs with a simple html file on firefox. Or their developers were ok with that due to deadlines
So we have another thing to add on FAQ
^ There is an open thread on FB developers forum around the commented bug (iframes App sometimes does not load on click). Just in case someone wants to track it.
Seems that the main issue with FB Pages is solved,
now non logged users can see the Pages and Apps.
(i tried with IE8 and got some errors, but it works)
OK Guys here's the guide that I made with all your help.
Please share if you see something missing.
Also, this is a good guide to create your first Fan Page.
Back to the topic after a long time. I just went through and couldn't find the old bugs now which exitsed before. Guys can you confirm there is no issues, especially the "first time not loading iframe"?

It's still there, but only happens a few times and only in some platforms, i guess. I've received a couple of user comments lately. Also, strangely they have reduced the number of possible countries in the list while activating dev account by phone message. Spain is currently not in the list. Just for your info.
Thanks pez for the info.
For those ones having problems or implementing secure nav. to FB Apps, here is an interesting article: http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/497
(when i read something like "we are moving to another…" i start to tremble)

Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys is dead at 47
Adam Yauch, a.k.a. MCA, one-third of the Beastie Boys, died today. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2009; earlier this year, he was absent when his two brothers (you know so well), Michael Diamond (Mike D) and Adam Horowitz (Ad-Rock), accepted the band's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
From the track "No Sleep Til Brookyn" on their debut, Licensed to Ill, to their post-9/11 album, To the 5 Boroughs, this was a quintessentially New York act. Though they began as a hardcore punk band, they quickly moved to hip-hop, where in the mid- and late-1980s, with the Rick Rubin-produced Licensed and their seminal sophomore album Paul's Boutique (whose cover featured a Lower East Side corner), they helped define the genre itself.
Their style was to develop their own identities and alternate verses, within verses, and even within lines ("Aw, mom you're just jealous it's the" "Bea" "stie" "Boys"). The triangle is that most delicate of shapes, the only one where altering one side forces the alteration of all other sides. Take one side away, and what do you have?
And the subtext to the Beastie Boys phenomenon was that these hip-hop maestros and geniuses, whose macho posturing seemed never to be lacking a tongue in cheek ("Mike D grabbed the money, MCA stashed the gold,/I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold," are the final lines in "Paul Revere," which should give you some sense of the brand of "gangsta rap" they peddled), were white boys. More: they were middle-class Jewish kids from the Tristate Area.
You're 13 and they're already big, and "You've Gotta Fight For Your Right to Party" is already anthemic and the Spike Jonze-directed "Sabotage" video (the best video ever) is on heavy rotation, and you assume it's too cheesy to take pride in this aspect of one of the greatest musical acts of the 20th century. The clip below, from the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards, instructed me that I was wrong. The performance is great; but note most of all the introduction. My feelings about the Beastie Boys weren't anomalous or bizarre. Because the Beastie Boys were ours, and they were the coolest.
R.I.P. Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys [Pitchfork]

Sure, you are busy. Everyone at the firm is VERY busy.
It's that time of year inside CPA firms when the show must go on! You are giving your best performance.
· You return calls very quickly (because you need the clients' info).
· You are collaborating with others, checking on their progress, actually giving them guidance and encouragement.
· You focus and work very quickly.
· You don't spend time chatting in the break room.
· You turn work around very quickly.
· You overlook little annoyances because you are on a mission.
· You don't have time to whine and complain.
· You overlook the little things and focus on the bigger goal (April 15th).
· You actually feel energized, needed, valued and take pride in your skills.
Now, what happens once April 15th has past and the pace is much slower?
You can tell a lot about a firm and its culture when grinding out client work slows down some. What do you do when there is no crisis or closely approaching due date?
Do you sit and wait for the next one?
A lot of time will be wasted in CPA firms from April 19 until September 1. Will you take advantage of the opportunities awaiting you and your firm or will you coast through another year?

Family films dominated the box office this weekend, with "Brave," the latest film from Pixar Animation Studios, capturing the top spot.
Family films dominated the box office this weekend, with "Brave," the latest film from Pixar Animation Studios, capturing the top spot.
Cannes (France) (AFP) - Pixar went underwater with "Finding Nemo", into the toybox with "Toy Story" and now it's going inside our brains with its latest, "Inside Out".
Disney's newest film, "Big Hero 6," opens this week. And some eagle-eyed viewers have already spotted some Easter eggs in the trailer that was released over the summer. An Easter egg, as it relates to movies, is when the movie's creators hide something in the film that's an intentional inside joke.
Summer is when Hollywood studios roll out their heavyweight contenders and look for knockouts. There are 41 movies set for wide release between May and August this year, and the overall box office is expected to exceed last year's $4.3 billion.
Pixar, a pioneer of computer animation that has made a dozen profitable feature films and become one of the most successful studios on the planet, is celebrating its 25th birthday.Born in the early 1980s as George Lucas's computer graphics division, the company took off after it was purchased by Apple founder Steve Jobs in 1986 and christened "Pixar."That year, the hopping desk lamp and ball, heroes of Pixar's first film -- the short "Luxo Jr" -- lit the way toward a new generation of features entirely composed of computer graphics.
When it comes to animation, no one comes close to Pixar. When it comes to marketing, real life movies rule. But Pixar surprised us with their promotion of this year's upcoming film "Monsters University." While most studios rely on trailers, movie posters, and simple social media tactics to attract audiences to theaters, Pixar has gone one step further.
The men of "White House Down" weren't hot enough for the women of "The Heat."
By Stocks & Shares:Companies that participate in the motion picture industry are priced at widely different price multiples. Many of these firms require different levels of capital expenditure, too. Which, if any are compelling investments given recent developments and today's prices?

A video streaming platform Indee TV developed by two young Indians is helping international film festivals and film studios around the world
The Indian star-up story in Silicon Valley is reaching out far and wide. One such tale that is knocking at the doors of Hollywood is Indee TV, a video-streaming platform, which is gaining acceptance among major studios and filmmakers as a video-submission service for important film festivals and as a digital replacement for the DVD screeners that have helped in video piracy.
The service was founded by Sharan Reddy, a Chennai resident, and has four employees, including two developers in India. The company, Indee Software Private Limited, is headquartered out of San Francisco, but its product development happens in Chennai and Bangalore.
Film festivals that use the Indee TV platform for submission include the AFI Festival of American Film Institute, NFFTY and Catalina Film Festival. Top international studios that use the platform to send digital screeners to film reviewers and test audience include Lakeshore Entertainment and Ealing Studios of the U.K. It recently concluded a deal with Reliance Entertainment Picture's international wing.
Indee TV is a digitally secure online platform capable of serving digital screeners to an end-user ratified by either the independent filmmaker or a film studio.
An independent filmmaker who has shot his movie can submit it, either digitally or through DVD, to be stored in Indee TV's servers and use the service to submit it to leading film festivals. The filmmaker will have to pay a per-screening charge. The content is served digitally by Indee TV's software in a secure encrypted RTMPE format that is used by international services like Hulu.
Likewise, film studios can send out movies to select audiences digitally.
In an interview to The Hindu, Mr. Reddy said: "This helps not only to save DVD freight costs and but also to fight video piracy. Screener DVDs have gained notoriety over the years as one of the important ways pirates use to get their hands on the intellectual property of filmmakers and studios."
In addition, Indee TV provides powerful analytical tools to gauge viewer engagement, which, in turn, can help to tailor content to audience response.
Big fight with Amazon
Though the service was originally incorporated in 2009 and in its initial phase Indee TV got an impressive clientele for its service, earlier this year Indee TV was involved in a big David-versus-Goliath fight with Amazon's film festival platform Without A Box.
Without A Box which offers a traditional film festival submission service, and which goes without an equivalent of Indee TV's streaming service, asked its clientele to use its service exclusively, pointing to its terms and conditions. "That was like Hotmail saying it will cut out all members who also had a Gmail account," Mr. Reddy said. "Within a matter of days, we lost almost our entire clientele list. We were livid."
That was when Indee TV took its fight to social networks like Facebook and launched a "Support Indee TV, boycott Without A Box" campaign, highlighting the monopolistic practice of the web giant. More than 12,000 independent filmmakers assured Indee TV of their support and threatened to boycott Without A Box. Amazon was forced to drop its conditions, and the big film festivals returned to Indee TV.
The bigger ambition for Indee TV is to take it mainstream with the support of bigger studios and featuring even bigger content as an online distribution channel.

Critical Essay by James Wolcott
Like a sentry or a detective, Anne Tyler seems to notice everything: the pale fluorescent gloom of laundromats, pockets filled with lint-covered jellybeans, the smell of crabcakes and coconut oil on a Delaware beach, grapy veins in the calves of middle-aged mothers. As a chronicler of domestic fuss, Tyler can be compared to John Updike…. In Tyler's work, however, everything is scuffed-up and comfortably lived-in; "Wash Me" is written into the dust. Her characters are fraying at the edges, strays and daydreamers sunk in their own reveries. Circumstances prick them awake, and like the dolls Tyler describes at the end of Earthly Possessions they share a look of bewildered surprise, "as if wondering how they got here."…
Like Earthly Possessions, Morgan's Passing is a misfit romance. In Earthly Possessions, the misfits—a bank robber, his hostage, and...

Geoff Calkins: Hometown hero needs to see clouds' silver lining
It was just one moment in one game, a moment of no particular consequence in a game that Memphis would win comfortably.
Joe Jackson had the ball. He had a teammate on either wing. One defender from Robert Morris was back. And Jackson just, well, it's hard to say what happened exactly, but he just lost the ball out of bounds.
And then Jackson slumped, defeated. It was as if he felt the accumulation of all past mistakes, right then, pressing down on him.
Never mind that even the greatest of players turns the ball over now and again. Never mind that nobody was ripping into Jackson but himself.
"It just felt like the clouds came over my head," he said.
The clouds.
That's the perfect description, isn't it?
They have been with Jackson throughout his year and a half in Memphis. Often, you can see them drift across his face.
So, yes, Jackson addressed the news media Monday. Yes, he said all the things he was supposed to say.
He's not transferring from the University of Memphis. He believes in his coach and he believes in his teammates, and the whole transfer thing was blown out of proportion anyway.
"Really, I just had some personal issues off the court," he said.
Which is absolutely correct if you replace the words "off the court" with the words "between his ears."
There is no great secret to what is happening here. One of most appealing things about Jackson is that he cares so much.
Some athletes laugh it off when they don't play well. Jackson sees clouds when he doesn't play fabulously. And that's a good thing, at some level. It has driven him to be great.
But if Jackson is ever going to be the player he wants to be -- or if he's ever going to find any level of contentment -- he's going to have to learn that a moment is not the same as a career, and that the only mistakes that are really debilitating are those that you hold too tight.
No question, Jackson is under particular pressure as the hometown star. But the more we repeat that, the more we magnify the pressure, turn it into something nearly insurmountable.
Plenty of athletes have felt that pressure. You want to start a list? Larry Finch, Ronnie Robinson, Penny Hardaway, Elliot Perry, Lorenzen Wright, Andre Turner, Cedric Henderson ...
All those players were from Memphis. All flourished in their hometown.
Is it harder now? Sure. Now, you're a disappointment if you don't go pro after one year. Two years is stretching it. A four-year player is a bust.
I understand all that. But I also understand this: As long as Jackson sees defeat in very turnover, the losses will continue to come.
The whole thing becomes self-perpetuating. Witness Monday's press conference. Jackson stood there, strapped to half a dozen microphones, answering question after question about why he has been struggling so much.
News flash: Jackson is the Tigers' second-leading scorer. All his stats are up this year. He was MVP of the Conference USA Tournament and invited to play on Team USA.
So, no, he's not playing at the lights-out level that he expected. But nobody would have been asking him about his failures if he hadn't exaggerated them by taking a game off to get his head straight.
Contrast all that with the way Will Barton has been going about his business. His college career didn't exactly get off to a rousing start either. He was supposed to be a one-and-done. At the end of last season, people were openly laughing at that idea.
You think Barton didn't hear the talk? You think he didn't have people calling him, telling him that Josh Pastner was doing him wrong?
Of course he did. At which point, he did the smart thing.
"I turned off the phone," he said.
Barton said he decided to focus on winning. He decided the rest would take care of itself. And now he's playing like an All-American and flying back up the draft boards. He may well be a late lottery pick.
No question, it's easier to type this than it is to do it. But the contrast between Barton and Jackson is hard to miss.
"That same game against Robert Morris I had five turnovers," Barton said. "Nobody talked about it because of how great I played."
Barton didn't mean to sound immodest, by the way. He was just stating the truth. Everybody is going to make mistakes. So, OK, then what?
It's about confidence. It's about perseverance. It's about understanding that those clouds only exist in your head.
"You've got to look in the mirror," said Barton, "and remember who you are."

By Paul Strauss: Yuriorkis Gamboa once again exhibited his superior abilitiy in scoring a decisive UD over Orlando Salido at the Palm Casino, Las Vegas, NV. That's already old news, but it's important to point out that as usual he did it with excitement and style, which continues to propel him forward on the road to a big matchup with Juan Manuel "JuanMa" Lopez. It wasn't an easy task though, and for the fifth time in his career, his gloves touched the canvas. This time it was in the eighth round. Not to worry though, the occurrence was due in a big way to his attempt to land a big counter left hook which missed. A blink of an eye before that, he had been tagged by a big looping overhand right. However, it was his own momentum from the attempted counter that really put him down. He exhibited little sign of being hurt, but there was no doubt Salido was proving to be a tough veteran opponent, one who fought hard, but in the end was outclassed. Gamboa created another particularly tense moment in the twelfth and final round when he twice sent Salido to the canvas. The danger came when he foolishly let his emotions get the better of him. While Salido was down, Gamboa unleashed a right hand to the back of Salido's head. Fighters have been disqualifid for such offenses (Just ask King Arthur and Sakio Bika). But, in this case, Referee Joe Cortez chose to penalize him two points and let the fight continue. Gamboa fans let out a collective sigh of relief, and wiped up their spilt beer and resumed cheering for Gamboa..
Soon fans will hopefully be treated to a matchup between him and Juan Manuel "JuanMa" Lopez, and what a day that will be. It's inevitable, and there won't be any Mayweather type shenanigans. There won't be any game playing, trading of insults or any such nonsense. No, these two will just confidently go about their business and make themselves ready. Already fans are excited about the possibility and they are forging their arguments as to which one will be victorious. Lopez fans say their man is bigger, more experienced, a better technical fighter, a southpaw, and a big puncher. Gamboa fans point out their hero is too fast, and hits hard too. They feel he will turn JuanMa's aggression against him, and then will counter with so much speed and precision punching that JuanMa will be overwhelmed . Both sides also correctly point out the other fighter has weaknesses. In their hearts they know it's those weaknesses that also contribute to the popularity of these two fighters. Both fighters tend to go for broke, and are willing to take chances in order to take out the opposition. Fans love it. No matter how long the fight goes, it's a sure thing that it will be loaded with excitement. Of course, there is one little matter that has to take place first. It's the Lopez vs. Marquez fight secheduled for November 6, at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, NV. JuanMa has to beat a great little Mexican fighter. The same guy who was involved in one of boxing's most exciting trilogies. Rafael might prove the so called handwriting on the wall concerning the matchup between JuanMa and Yuriorkis might be a forgery. Celestinio Cabellero is also waiting in the wingsl.
On the undercard of the Gamboa vs Salido fight, Brandon Rios proved to be too much for undefeated Anthony Peterson. Initially the fight looked like most expected. Peterson appeared too fast and too skilled for Rios. However, soon Rios started landing right uppercuts, and Peterson didn't seem to have an answer. The uppercuts came as part of a combination, and although Peterson blocked the first couple, the uppercut was finding its way up the middle. The punch did a couple of things. It was hard enough to surprise and sting Peterson. It also broke up his plans. At first, he seemed determined to find an answer, but when he proved unable to, he started to exhibit some frustration and then he stopped fighting smart. Instead, he became flat-footed and started trading more with Rios. Peterson's frustration envigorated Rios. He likes nothing better than to brawl, and was pumped up by the prospect of Peterson deciding to fight his fight.
Peterson's decision proved to be a big mistake. More and more he was getting tagged, not just with the uppercut, but with lefts and rights as well. He tried to will his way back into the fight, and wanted to demonstrate his toughness by opening up, but all that did was provide more openings. Rios capitalized by catching him with some good shots. One counter left hook in the fifth put Peterson on the set of his pants for the first time in his pro or amatuer career. It wasn't just a flash knockdown either. He was definitely shook. His corner was yelling at him to concentrate, and to get back to jabbing and boxing, but he just couldn't get it done. Out of desperation he started looking for a way out, and that seemed to be a DQ. He began ripping uppercuts below the belt. They weren't just on the beltline, they were throw below the cup in at an upward angle. The Referee Russell Mora gave him every chance to refrain from doing so, but this was Peterson's version of "biting an ear". Consequently, he was disqualified in the seventh round. Rios was ahead on all three cards.
Moving on, are you one of those who are concerned about what's happening with the Super Six? Is it still a super six, super four, or maybe even zero. Fans of the tournament have already been frustrated by the lengthy periods between the fights, and now one of the original favorites to win the tournament has dropped out. Mikkel Kessler, as you know, had to drop out because of an eye injury. Where does that leave Allen Green, and for that matter the rest of the contestants? If Showtime cannot come up with a suitable substitiute, what happens to Green?. Do they just pay him off and say, "Sorry, but it couldn't be helped"? Once there were six and now there are four, or are there? Here's another puzzler .........the Ward vs. Dirrell matchup?. Even though the September 25th date for the fight is a soon to be upon us, a site hasn't been selected? Rumors are floating around that neither fighter is in serious hard training? If four becomes two, then what's the sense of the remaining two to stay involved? Oh oh, just in......Carl Froch has sustained a back injury, so his fight with Arthur "King" Abraham will be postponed a month or two. There's going to have to be some pretty fancy footwork done by multiple parties to salvage this thing.
Now we come to the Mayweathers. Little Foulweather claims he was just having fun with his most recent personal attack on Manny Pacquiao. He now says he didn't mean it and is sorry, but saying your sorry isn't being it! It's a pity boxing commissions and the ABC belt organizations of boxing don't have the gumption and integrity to suspend this boil on the backside of the sport. The trio of Roger, Floyd, Sr. and Little Floyd are too stupid to understand that profanity, hate filled insults and personal attacks are the sign of a weak mind. Why any media organization gives them the time of day is a mystery? They should be avoided like the plague! Too much space and time has already been given to them, so let's suffice it to say that long ago Marcus Cicero said, "Ability without honor is usless", and that's what these there cretins are......useless!

Lauren Purcell's Favorite Hors d'Oeuvres Recipes
In the January/February issue of Every Day with Rachael Ray, our editor-in-chief Lauren Purcell dishes about all things dinner parties. "I'm deeply fond of theme parties," she says, "But somehow, my theme-mania never translated to dinner parties. Until now!"
As the Queen of Cocktail Parties (she did write her own cookbook on the subject, in fact), it only makes sense that the first party Lauren wants to throw in the new year is an hors d'Oeuvres party: a small (and seated) group so everyone can be in on the same conversations, plus the festive feel you get from having a bite of this, a taste of that. Check out her three recipe picks below!
Goat Cheese and Leek Croustades
For the croustade cups
36 slices high-quality white sandwich bread
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
For the filling
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup finely chopped leeks, white and pale green parts (about 2 medium leeks)
8 ounces soft mild goat cheese
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup pine nuts
Prepare the cups
Preheat oven to 350°F.
With a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out a round of bread from each slice. Brush one side of each round with the melted butter. Press the bread, butter side down, into the cup of a mini muffin tin. The bread will not reach the top of the cups.
Bake until the top edges are browned, 11 to 13 minutes. Remove the croustades to a wire rack to cool.
Prepare the filling
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low to medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté, stirring frequently, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. If the leeks begin to brown, lower the heat.
In a food processor, blend the goat cheese, olive oil, yogurt, chives, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in leeks. Set aside.
Toast the pine nuts in a small pan over medium heat, shaking frequently, until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
Return the croustade cups to the muffin tins and fill each cup with goat cheese mixture. Top with 3 to 4 pine nuts. Bake for about 5 minutes.
Makes 36 croustades.
Shrimp with Spicy Lime Dip
For the shrimp
1 pound medium shrimp
2 garlic cloves, crushed
For the spicy lime dip
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
3 scallions, thinly sliced (white and pale green parts)
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
3 small chipotle chiles in adobo, minced to a paste, plus 1/2 teaspoon adobo sauce
1 teaspoon grated lime zest plus 1 tablespoon juice (1 lime)
Prepare the shrimp
Peel the shrimp and devein them, if desired. Put the garlic in a pot of generously salted water and bring water to a boil. Put shrimp in and cook until they're pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes. (The water may not return to a boil in that time.) Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Prepare the dip
Prepare the dip: Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Makes 40 to 50 shrimp and 1 1/2 cups of dip
Moroccan Lamb Meatballs with Dill Sauce
For the meatballs
1/3 cup minced onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried mint, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pound ground lamb
1 cup fine fresh bread crumbs (about 2 slices white bread, ground in food processor)
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons finely chopped dried cranberries
1/4 cup white sesame seeds
For the sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
ground white pepper to taste
Prepare the sauce
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
Prepare the meatballs
Preheat oven to 450°F.
In a small, nonstick skillet, cook the onion and garlic in the olive oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a big bowl. Stir in the salt, mint, allspice, and cinnamon. Add the lamb, bread crumbs, egg, cranberries, and sesame seeds and combine thoroughly (the easiest way is to use your hands).
Roll the mixture into 1 1/4-inch balls. (Guests will be spearing them with toothpicks, so they should be no bigger than two bites' worth.) Line up the meatballs on an ungreased baking sheet as you go (they can be close, just not touching). Bake just until no longer pink in the middle, 8 to 10 minutes.
Serve with the dill sauce alongside.
Makes about 32 meatballs and 1 1/4 cups sauce.

Four-Ingredient Mint Julep
No cocktail party is complete without a signature drink, but that doesn't mean you need to whip up some crazy concoction with a zillion different mix-ins. Keep it simple (but still impressive!) with a four-ingredient cocktail. It's contains just enough flavors to make your guests think that you're a master mixologist. This week's pick? A Mint Julep because this classic sipper never goes out of style. We love it for summer because it's minty-fresh, sweet and just strong enough!
1 teaspoon confectioners sugar
5 fresh mint leaves, plus 1 mint sprig for garnish
1/2 cup (4 ounces) gin
Crushed ice
Add the sugar, the mint leaves and a few drops of the bourbon to a chilled glass. Muddle or crush the mint with a spoon to create a thick paste. Add a handful of crushed ice to the glass. Place a straw so that it reaches the mint paste at the bottom of the glass. Pour the remaining bourbon over the ice. Add more crushed ice, making a mound that reaches to the top of the glass and leaving about 1 inch of the straw peeking above the rim. Garnish with a mint sprig.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- USA Track & Field announced Wednesday that it has consulted with the affected athletes and their support teams regarding the tiebreaker for the women s 100 meters, and it wil finalize the tiebreaker mechanism to be used after reconvening with the athletes and their coach following Saturday night s final of the women s 200 meters.
USATF will announce the final tiebreaker Saturday evening or Sunday morning.
Bobby Kersee coaches both athletes involved in the rare dead heat in the women's 100 meter final, Allyson Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh.
More:Rare dead heat in Women's 100 qualifying
The two options are a coin toss or a runoff to determine the third and final spot on the team for the London Games. If both athletes choose the same option, it will determine the tiebreaker. If the athletes disagree, the tiebreaker will be a runoff. If both athletes decline a preference, the tiebreaker will be a coin toss.
Kersee had urged the USATF to delay any decision until after the women's 200 meter final on Saturday so both runners could fully focus on the task at hand and not worry about a possible runoff -- or a coin flip.
Nine times out of 10, most athletes aren't going to want to flip a coin, Kersee said. Would you go to the Super Bowl and after two overtimes or what have you, have the referees take both coaches to the middle of the field and say, `We're going to flip to see who wins the Super Bowl?' I don't see that.
The national track governing body said they want the matter decided by Sunday when the trials end. Kersee said he will wait until 11:59 p.m. if he has to, just to ensure more rest for the sprinters.
He's fearful of a quick turnaround between the 200 final -- should both make it -- and another round of the 100. That could be a lot to ask of his athletes.
I'm asking them to focus on the 200 meters, go through drug testing and hopefully they'll both make the team in the 200 meters, Kersee said. Then we'll meet as a group, we'll meet with USA Track and Field. I will be in the room on the meeting, but I will have no decision-making power. I'm going to be listening, but let the athletes decide. Let the managers decide what they want to do -- I want the best for the athletes.
Kersee said earlier in the day he's in favor a runoff to break the tie. Only, he wanted the race held later, maybe even a few weeks later, on a track somewhere to be determined.
To decide anything right now, the coach said, isn't fair to Felix and Tarmoh, especially because they are both running the 200 that begin Thursday.
Felix and Tarmoh finished in a dead heat in the 100 on Sunday, each leaning across the finish line in 11.068 seconds. They're looking to join Carmelita Jeter and Tianna Madison on the team.
With no protocol in place at the time of the tie, the organization had to meet to come up with a plan, which was approved by the United States Olympic Committee.
And one of the options was a coin flip, with the rules as to how the coin will be tossed explicitly spelled out. For instance, it says, the USATF representative shall bend his or her index finger at a 90-degree angle to his or her thumb, allowing the coin to rest on his or her thumb.
Being the coach of both, Kersee knows he has a conflict of interest in this situation. But he insisted he's only concerned with one thing: Doing right by his runners.
You don't have to bother us about this now, he said. You can wait until later.
Originally, Tarmoh was declared the third-place finisher and the official scoring said she had edged training partner Felix by 0.0001 seconds. But the results were reviewed, and after a lengthy delay, the dead heat was announced.
In swimming, ties are settled with swim-offs between the two deadlocked opponents. Track has tiebreaking procedures for many of its events, as well, but this is a special case for which there is no written solution -- a tie for the last spot on the Olympic team.
The USATF said in a release that two cameras are used to determine photo-finishes, one on the outside of the track and another on the inside.
In Saturday's race, the image from the outside camera was inconclusive for determining the finish because both runners' arms obscured their torsos.
The torso position is used to determine the finish.
The image from the inside camera, shot at 3,000 frames per second, was analyzed by timers and referees, who declared the tie. Should the sprinters settle the matter with a runoff, Kersee said he won't be at the track for the race.
Sure, he will warm Felix and Tarmoh up. And yes, he will give them some last-minute advice.
But then he will head for the exit.
I'll go on a long walk, Kersee said. When I come back, I'll get the news on who did what.

Libya suspects head of Islamist group as commander of consulate attack
- By Mary Casey-Baker<p> Mary Casey-Baker is the editor of Foreign Policy's Middle East Daily Brief, as well as the assistant director of public affairs at the Project on Middle East Political Science and assistant editor of The Monkey Cage blog for the Washington Post. </p> , Jennifer Parker
Libyan authorities have said they suspect Ahmed Abu Khattala, the leader of Libya's Islamist militant group Ansar al-Sharia, to have led the September 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. Witnesses have reported seeing Abu Khattala at the site, but his exact role is unclear, as is whether or not he shared leadership with others. But, the allegations provide the most direct link yet between Ansar al-Sharia and the assault. The F.B.I. has been investigating the attack from Tripoli, almost 400 miles from Benghazi, and a U.S. official said they had been tracking Abu Khattala who remains at large. Having not yet established central control of security since last year's revolution, Libyan authorities rely on local militias for law enforcement. The government-allied militias say that haven't been directed to arrest Abu Khattala, and the government is concerned about exacerbating tensions between rival militia groups.
Syrian human rights groups say that at least 28,000 people have "disappeared" in Syria since the beginning of the 19-month long uprising, and some estimate the number of missing to be as high as 80,000. According to a director at the online activist group Avazza, "Syrians are being plucked off the street by Syrian security forces and paramilitaries and being 'disappeared' into torture cells. Whether it is women buying groceries or farmers going for fuel, nobody is safe." The group plans to request an investigation by the U.N. Human Rights Council. Damascus has started to feel the strain of the country's civil war, from which it had been relatively isolated until recently. Meanwhile, U.N. and Arab League envoy to Syria, Lahkdar Brahimi, has warned of regional spillover of the conflict. After meeting with Lebanese officials seeking international support for a ceasefire over an upcoming holiday, which Turkey and Iran have backed, he said, "The crisis cannot remain within Syrian borders indefinitely. Either it will be addressed or it will increase … and be all-consuming." Brahimi's remarks came shortly before reports of Syrian and Lebanese border clashes.
- After multiple postponements, West Bank Palestinians will vote in municipal elections Saturday, which Hamas will boycott.
- An Iranian-American dual citizen from Texas has pleaded guilty to plotting the assassination of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States last year, at the direction of Iranian military officials.
- A drone strike, likely by the United Strikes, killed seven suspected al Qaeda militants in the southern Yemeni city of Jaar Thursday, in the second such attack this month.
Arguments and Analysis
'The Drones Are Coming to Libya' (Eric Posner, Slate)
"After the attack on American diplomats in Benghazi last month, President Obama vowed to hunt down the killers and bring them to justice. There is a good chance that this means that they will be incinerated by missiles fired from drones. If so, the United States will have used drones to kill members of al-Qaida and affiliated groups in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, and Libya-six countries in just a few years. Mali may take its turn as the seventh. This startlingly fast spread of drone warfare signifies a revolution in foreign affairs. And, for good or for ill, in an unprecedented way it has transformed the U.S. presidency into the most powerful national office in at least half a century.
In the past, presidents faced two major obstacles when trying to use force abroad. The first was technological. The available options-troops, naval vessels, or air power-posed significant risks to American military personnel, cost a lot of money, proved effective only under limited conditions, or all of the above. Dead and maimed soldiers, hostages, the massive expense of a large-scale military operation, and backlash from civilian casualties can destroy a presidency, as Vietnam and Iraq showed."
'Turkey's President Wants War in Syria. Turks Don't.' (Suzy Hansen, The New Republic)
"Just two years ago, as part of its "zero problems with neighbors" policy, Turkey removed visa requirements with several countries, including Syria, its neighbor to the south. Thousands of middle class Syrians flooded the 500-mile border, visiting the malls of Gaziantep or scouting for business partners amongst Turkey's vibrant merchant class. It was a time of great enthusiasm about Turkey across the Middle East, the heyday of the Mavi Marmara affair, when the Eastern-looking Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan appeared to be standing up to Israel, even the United States. Arabs embraced Turkish soap operas and named their baby boys Tayyip. Erdogan was best friend to everyone, and on especially good terms with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The two were photographed palling around in the sunny Aegean town of Bodrum. Erdogan called Assad "brother.""

A first for Eastlake: Finals

When: 7 p.m. Saturday

Bishop's (8-4) vs. Francis Parker (10-2)
When: 10 a.m. tomorrow
Where: Qualcomm Stadium
CHULA VISTA — The Eastlake High football team is scheduled to have its picture taken this morning at Qualcomm Stadium.
It should take little coaxing to get the Titans grinning from ear to ear. Keeping them from looking wide-eyed may be another matter.
Eastlake (10-0-2) plays for its first football championship tomorrow night at 8 when it meets Vista (10-2) for the Division I title.
"It's kind of cool," Titans coach John McFadden said. "Eastlake is a pretty tight-knit community. Everybody feels like they're a part of this, which they are. It really brings everyone all together."
Eastlake is the only school among the 10 finalists that has never been here before. And not just once but over and over again.
Vista has been to the finals a dozen times previously. But the 2004 Division I title the Panthers shared in their last appearance is ancient history compared with the schools represented in the other divisions.
In Division II, Oceanside is here for the 12th time in 15 years and Helix for the ninth time in 12 years.
In Division III, Cathedral Catholic is here for the third straight year and Point Loma for the fourth time in five years.
In Division IV, Valley Center is here for the fifth time in six years and Mission Bay for the third time in four years.
In Division V, Bishop's is here for the third straight year and Francis Parker for the fourth time in five years.
"I don't know if you ever get used to this," McFadden said. "It feels pretty special."
Playing for a championship never gets old, but it can't feel as special as the first time. Especially in Eastlake's case. It's been such a challenge to get here.
The Titans have reached the playoffs every year this decade. But Eastlake lost in the first or second round each season from 2000-05. The Titans reached three straight semifinals from 2006-08. And suffered three straight losses.
Last year's 27-24 loss to Helix was the most excruciating. The Titans came up 1 yard short. Three feet.
On fourth-and-1 from the 1-yard line with two minutes remaining, Helix's 6-foot-7 Levine Toilolo stuffed Eastlake running back Tony Jefferson. And that was that.
"Tony had to live with that for the whole year," McFadden said. "I said, 'I think if we need a yard you're going to be able to make it this year, right?' He said, 'Yeah. I don't think that will stop us.'
"That's definitely been in our minds throughout the season."

DRY CREEK (Terrell County). Dry Creek rises 3½ miles southwest of the Dry Creek Ranch headquarters in northwestern Terrell County (at 30°29' N, 102°13' W) and runs east for thirty miles to its mouth on Independence Creek, just east of State Highway 349 in the northeastern part of the county (at 30°27' N, 101°49' W). The path of the creek sharply dissects massive limestone underlying flat terrain, forming a deep and winding canyon. Wash deposits of sand, gravel, and mud cover the creekbed. Local soils are generally dark, calcareous stony clays and clay loams and support oaks, junipers, grasses, and mesquites. In 1860 Lt. William H. Echols and a camel expedition (see CAMELS) traveled along Dry Creek while mapping the area terrain and water sources and selecting a location for a fort near the trail used by Comanche war parties.

HOUSTON Police say a sex assault suspect posed as a cop when he flashed a badge and offered to help a woman with a flat tire in west Houston last week.
Instead, Francisco Jose Ugarte raped her, according to Houston police.
The 31-year-old woman was heading home from work around 1:30 a.m. last Thursday when her tire went flat. She pulled into the Exxon on Dairy Ashford near the Katy Freeway to get help.
A white male flashes what she believes was some type of law enforcement badge and tells her she shouldn t be driving in that condition, said HPD Sgt. Art Mejia with the Major Offenders Division.
When the woman told Ugarte she d had at least one drink, he asked for her ID.
Grabs the ID and said, You live close by. I ll tell you what, I won t take you to jail. But I ll take you home, Sgt. Mejia said.
Police say during the ride he said things like, I m a police officer and you shouldn t be out this late. Bad things happened during these times.
Instead of taking the woman home, Ugarte took her to a parking garage.
Has her exit the vehicle and demand that she take her clothing off where he sexually assaulted her, Sgt. Mejia said.
The victim then walked to a gas station and asked for help.
Ugarte s neighbors were shocked by his arrest. The 46-year-old lives in an upscale Cinco Ranch home in Katy. And he has a wife and two children.
He has everything you can ask for in this world on the outside, but the things in this world is not what fills your heart and your soul, said Beth Gleason. Has the world come to a place where you can t trust anybody?
Houston police said the suspect s photo will not be released in case more possible victims come forward. They want to use his mug shot in a photo lineup.
They did, however, describe him as a Hispanic male about 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing about 175 pounds. He has a light complexion, straight dark hair, a medium build and was not clean shaven.
HPD on Wednesday released a picture of the suspect s vehicle, a maroon 2008 BMW sedan, and encouraged other victims to come forward.
Anyone with information can call Houston Police Sex Crimes at 713-308-1180.

Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage
Just finished the game

I am soooo proud to say I FINALLY FINISHED AIDYN CHRONICLES! I've honestly wanted to beat this since I pre-ordered it at a gamestop back in late 2000. What a great and at times controller breaking experience. I strongly recommend that if you own the original cartridge, and want to beat this game while saving a lot of frustration, download and play the rom version. This is legal as long as you own the physical copy of the game. I cannot stress enough how much more convenient this was. I'm sure theres still small clusters of die hard fans that will continue to play. I for one, will probably never play this ever again. So long, Alaron!
Oh yeah, I thought it was hilarious that the last boss dropped 3 Spice and 8484 gold. Yep, like im gonna need those after that!
This is legal as long as you own the physical copy of the game.
"Windows 7 is, in many ways, the least annoying upgrade Microsoft has ever shipped."
Congratulations!! ;D
But I don't get why the rom version would be less frustrating.
LePhenom posted...
Congratulations!! ;D
My guess would be save states, but I don't know.
Nintendo of America states that any rom is illegal, so the rumors I've heard are false. However, if I paid 59.99$ for this game back in the day, I have no worries whatsoever about playing it on an emulator. The save states, alone made Aidyn Chronicles convenient to play. Not to mention the practically infinite gold (patched into the rom). RIP THQ
Or rather, RIP H2O, the dev of the game. They died not long after completing the game.
No point in patching in infinite gold. Make curing potions, sell, buy ingredients repeat. In a few minutes you can be rich enough to buy one of everything and still have money left.
Of course, if you're so inclined, it's relatively simple to cannibalize an N64 and create a socket so you can play on an emulator using the cartridge itself. Not easy, but not insanely difficult.

I too bought this game (was it $60? Seems like it was, indeed) brand new when it first came out. Played it the whole way through, loved the world and enemy designs (I think it still ranks up there for unique and interesting enemy designs--only some of the Elder Scrolls game top it, in my opinion). It was hard to get started in the game but once you figured out how to play it was quite fun.
Now for some reason I see it is apparently despised and hated. On the flip side, you can buy it on eBay for 6 bucks or something.
I remember wanting to buy this game at GameStop and the guy talked me out of it because of the GameInformer score of .5. I dont remember what i got instead that day but i do remember taking it back and getting the game i wanted and still love to this day. The mechanics of this game were simple yet the storyline got me from the start, something i found Elder Scrolls always had quite the opposite. Not to mention i am a huge fan of Turn Based RPGs, something else i preferred about Aidyn. I remember my first time beating this game and i immediately started over, what other games can i say that about? Halo? The only 2 that come to mind atm.

Iraq's prime minister, president in public quarrel
BAGHDAD Iraq's presidential council has taken the unusual step of publicly criticizing the Shiite prime minister after he berated them for their opposition to councils of loyal tribesmen in several Iraqi provinces.
The quarrel is the latest in a series of political setbacks that underline enduring rivalries between Iraq's political factions as the country struggles to find its footing after years of brutal violence.
The dispute between Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, President Jalal Talabani and Talabani's two deputies comes with Iraqis already polarized by a proposed security agreement with the United States that would allow American troops to stay in Iraq for three more years.
Groups opposed to the pact say it enshrines what they see as Iraq's occupation. Proponents, like al-Maliki, say it is the only viable way for Iraq to regain its full sovereignty by 2012.
At the center of the new dispute between al-Maliki and Talabani are the "support councils" made up of pro-government tribesmen that began to spring up earlier this year when the prime minister took charge of military operations against Shiite militias in southern Iraq.
The councils were seen by many as an attempt by the prime minister ahead of Jan. 31 provincial elections to create a support base in areas where his Shiite rivals dominate or, in Sunni areas, to counter the weight of U.S.-backed groups made up of tribesmen and former insurgents.
Al-Maliki has said the councils are needed as a backup for official security forces – similar to the Sunni groups that joined forces with the Americans against al-Qaida in Iraq.
But Talabani's office disagrees. In a letter to al-Maliki dated Nov. 18 and issued late Friday after al-Maliki made their quarrel public, the presidential council said the resources being funneled to the councils would be better used to bolster Iraq's security forces.
"It is our constitutional duty to demand that you intervene and order the relevant authorities to suspend the work of these councils until we arrive at an agreement that provides them with legal and administrative cover," according to the letter.
Al-Maliki did not specifically mention that letter in his televised news conference on Thursday. But he said Talabani and his two deputies were picking on the support councils while ignoring what he said was a long list of constitutional violations by the self-rule Kurdish region government in northern Iraq.
In response, Talabani, a Sunni Kurd, and his two deputies – vice presidents Tariq al-Hashemi, a Sunni Arab, and Adel Abdul-Mahdi, a Shiite – issued a statement late Friday criticizing al-Maliki for airing their differences in public.
The statement said the presidential council had decided to publicize its letter to al-Maliki "to avoid misunderstandings among members of the public about an issue (the support councils) on which it is exercising its right, indeed its duty, to supervise the workings of the state and its concern that the constitution and the law must be implemented."
If al-Maliki felt strongly about organizing pro-government tribesmen into groups, they should be part of civil society and not involved in security, it said.
