Galantine Of Turkey
|15 Pound (1 Whole)
|Lean veal
|1 Pound, ground
|Lean pork
|1 Pound, ground
|Salt pork
|1 Pound, cubed
|Cognac/Sherry wine
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Heavy cream
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|3 Tablespoon
|Black pepper
|To Taste
|1 Teaspoon
|Chopped tarragon
|1 Tablespoon
|Unsalted fatback
|1⁄2 Pound, cut into strips
|Cooked tongue
|1⁄2 Pound, cut into strips
|2 , sliced
|Pistachio nuts
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|Celery stalk

1. Bone the turkey or have it boned by the butcher. Using a sharp knife and fingers, remove all the meat from the skin to leave a shell. Reserve meat and the shell. Make a rich broth with bones.
2. Cut the meat from the drumsticks and the breast into one-third-inch cubes. Grind together the remaining meat from the turkey, the vealand lean pork. Combine this meat mixture with the salt pork, cognac or sherry, cream and seasonings.
3. Lay the turkey-skin shell, outside down, on a flat surface and spread with the seasoned mixture. Top with alternate rows of fatback, tongue, truffles and diced turkey. Sprinkle with pistachios.
4. Draw the edges of the skin together to form a sausagelike roll and carefully sew the edges of the skin.
5. Generously butter a large piece of clean linen or several layers of cheesecloth and place the galantine on it. Roll it tightly and tie at both ends and in the middle. The roll should be smooth and even.
6. Place the roll in a large kettle and add the vegetables and enough broth to cover.
7. Cover, bring to a boil and simmer gently about one and one-half hours. Let the galantine cool in the liquid. Remove it from the broth.
8. Unroll the galantine and reroll it in a clean cloth. Weight it down with a heavy plate for two hours or more, then remove the cloth. Remove the thread with which the galantine was sewed. The galantine may be decorated with a sauce chaud froid and a clear aspic or it may be glazed merely with an aspic made from the broth in which the turkey was cooked.

Series Record: UConn leads, 39-36-1
Last Meeting: Holy Cross 5, UConn 0 (2/15/05; Storrs, Conn.)
THE SERIES WITH UCONN: This weekend's home-and-home series will be the 77th and 78th meetings between the Crusaders and the Huskies, with UConn leading the all-time series 39-36-1. Last year, the Crusaders took the series, 2-0-1. The two teams tied, 2-2 (12/8/04), in Worcester, Mass., then the Crusaders won two road games by scores of 6-3 (12/30/04) and 5-0 (2/15/05). This season the two teams will meet four times.
OFF TO A GREAT START: Last weekend, Holy Cross earned two victories over Atlantic Hockey opponent Army, at the Hart Center, to improve to 3-0-0, including the 3-2 win at UMass in the season-opener. This marks the best start for the Crusaders since the 1993-94 season, when they went 4-0-0. The best start in school-history is 7-0-0 in the 1977-78 season. Senior goaltender Tony Quesada (South Freeport, Mass.) made 25 saves to earn the shutout in the 1-0 win over Army on Friday night. Senior Blair Bartlett (Dryden, Ontario) scored the only goal of the game with 22 seconds left in the first period. The following night the Crusaders won 5-3, as senior Tyler McGregor (Ajax, Ontario) had a goal and two assists, while senior goaltender Ben Conway (South Hadley, Mass.) made 24 saves to earn the win in his first game of the year.
THE HUSKIES: UConn is coming off a 1-3-1 five-game road trip to start the season. Last weekend, the Huskies dropped two games to Atlantic Hockey foe Mercyhurst by scores of 5-2 and 5-3. Junior Cole Koidahl paces the Huskies with three goals, four assists a seven points. Freshman Jon Anderson and junior Scott Tome have played two games apiece in goal with Anderson posting a 3.45 GAA and a .913 saves percentage, while Tomes has a 4.09 GAA and a .879 saves percentage.
STRONG DEFENSE: Coming into the season the defense was considered a major strength for the Crusaders and that has proven to be accurate so far this season. In the first three games, Holy Cross has given up five goals and has given up only two goals on 13 power plays for its opponents. Junior defenseman Rob Godfrey (Thunder Bay, Ontario) has three points this season with a goal and two assists. His goal tied the UMass game with 3:25 remaining in the third period.
SPREADING THE WEALTH: Holy Cross has demonstrated its strong depth as the nine goals scored so far this season have been scored by nine different Crusaders. Also the Crusaders have five players tied for the team lead in points with three. Senior forward Blair Bartlett (Dryden, Ontario) is off to a solid start as he scored a goal and had two assists in last weekend's series with Army. On Friday night he scored the game winner in the 1-0 victory, while on Saturday night he registered two assists in the 5-3 win. Forward Sean Nappo (Northville, Mich.) is having a great start to his junior season as he has a goal and two assists, including a power play goal in the 5-3 win over Army.
TWO CRUSADERS APPROACHING 100 POINTS: Senior co-captains Pierre Napert-Frenette (Bathurst, New Brunswick) and Tyler McGregor (Ajax, Ontario) are both approaching the 100 point mark in their Holy Cross careers. Entering this weekend, Napert-Frenette has 96 career points, including three points this season with a goal in the 5-3 win over Army and an assist in each Army game. He is looking to become the 35th Crusader to join the 100 point club. Last season, Napert-Frenette was first on the team and third in Atlantic Hockey in points with 38, as he was also second on the team in goals with 13 and assists with 25. Napert-Frenette is joined by McGregor who enters the weekend with 86 career points and three points this season. He had a goal and two assists in the 5-3 win over Army. Last year, he led the team and the conference in goals with 21 and added 13 assists. Last season, McGregor earned Atlantic Hockey All-Conference first team honors, while Napert-Frenette was named to the second team.
DUAL THREAT IN NET: The Crusaders have two senior goalies bringing a wealth of experience to that position in Tony Quesada (South Freeport, Maine) and Ben Conway (South Hadley, Mass.). Quesada is second all-time at Holy Cross in minutes played with 4380:54 and wins with 41. He is 2-0 this season, including his fifth career shutout in the 1-0 win over Army and is just four wins away from tying Paul Pijanowski's school-record of 45 (1984-87). He ranks first in Atlantic Hockey and third nationally in goals against average (1.00), while he ranks first in Atlantic Hockey and fourth nationally in save percentage (.959). Earlier this season, Quesada was named the Atlantic Hockey Goaltender of the week for his 22 save performance in the 3-2 win over UMass. This marked the fourth time that he has been named Goaltender of the Week by the conference, as he was named once (1/3/05) in 2004-05 and twice (11/23/03 & 1/4/04) in 2003-04. As a freshman Quesada received MAAC Goalie of the Week honors once (10/28/02), and Rookie of the Week honors twice (11/4/02 and 3/3/03). Conway made 24 saves in his season debut in the 5-3 win over Army. He is coming off a season that he played in a career high 15 games for a total of 844:23 minutes and went 7-5-2 with 2.70 goals against average.
SOLID START FOR ROOKIES: A bright spot for the Crusaders so far is the play of their freshmen. Kai Magnussen (Okotoks, Alberta) scored the game winning goal in the UMass win and freshman Dewey Thomson (Northbridge, Mass.) was credited with an assist on Magnussen's game winner.
HOME SWEET HOME: The Crusaders are in the midst of playing six out eight Atlantic Hockey games at the Hart Center. Holy Cross is 265-156-21 all-time at the Hart Center dating back to December 2, 1975, when the Crusaders defeated Fairfield, 11-1. Last season, Holy Cross went 5-4-5 at home.
HEAD COACH Paul Pearl: Paul Pearl is in his 11th year at the helm of the Holy Cross ice hockey program. He is just the fifth head coach in the 36-year history of ice hockey at Holy Cross. On October 13, 2002, with a 3-2 win over Connecticut, Pearl became the school's third head coach to reach 100 victories at Holy Cross. Pearl has forged a 157-138-29 record at Holy Cross and has been the man behind the bench in six of the eight most successful seasons in Holy Cross history. Along with nine post-season appearances in 10 years, Pearl led the Crusaders to their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in the 2003-04 season.

Speed bump 'replies' to students at Goffstown High School
The newest speed bump to be installed in the Goffstown High School parking lot has opened its very own Twitter account. HENRY METZ (HENRY METZ/Union Leader Correspondent)
GOFFSTOWN - It's not a case of "if the walls could talk," but it's close.
The newest speed bump to be installed in the Goffstown High School parking lot has its very own Twitter account, and apparently it's well aware of the trashing it is getting on another social media site - Facebook.
In a pair of tweets Tuesday night, the speed bump account had some choice words for students who don't much appreciate that it is slowing down exiting the lot.
"Saw some people talking about me on Facebook, #sorry but I'm here to stay," went the first tweet, minus a pair of unprintable words. "Happy Birthday to Me! Hoping to make new friends at GHS! Especially with @gcaine82 he seems pretty cool" went the second tweet.
And while the tweets give readers the impression that there is a single speed bump at the high school, there are actually a series of them in front of the school as well as behind it.
The speed bumps were installed last weekend, according to school officials, and now they're getting the thumbs down from some lead-footed student drivers.
The new speed bump "was a big topic of conversation among the seniors," said English teacher Jennifer Beauchemin yesterday. "They asked me, 'what do you think about the speed bump?' and I told them that I'm not that emotionally invested in it."
Beauchemin laughed when told that the GHS speed bump had opened a Twitter account to defend itself against the harsh teenage criticism. "Hey, I say anything to get the kids to slow down is a good thing," she said.
As of 9:51 p.m. on Tuesday, the GHS speed bump had five followers and was following 134 other Twitter accounts.
SAU 19 Superintendent Stacy Buckley laughed also when told that the speed bump had taken to social media to justify its existence. And while she said she appreciated the humor behind the tweets, the yellow strips of plastic bolted into the asphalt are an important public safety tool with a serious mission.
"Yes, we've had some issues with people tending to go really fast" in the parking lot, she said. "This will slow them down a bit."

Interview with Icculus
Interview with the Icculus
13 May 2007 by JVM
It's helpful for us, as a community, to have an idea where our system stands now, where we can see changes in the near future, and our
prospects for future growth. To that end, we've asked Ryan "icculusGordon to rate various companies and technologies and their impact on GNU/Linux gaming. Ryan has been essential to the development of several important games on GNU/Linux, including Unreal Tournament 2003, America's Army,Descent 3, and Serious Sam. He has also ported some applications, like Google Earth and the Second Life client from Linden Labs.
LinuxGames: On a scale of 0-10, where 0 is no effect at all and 10 is metaphysical transmogrification, how will the following affect the future of GNU/Linux gaming? We'll start with SDL.
Ryan: 8. It's already the defacto standard for game development on Linux, and the next version more or less removes all the current limitations. I don't see it going away.
Very few game titles, commercial or open source, use anything but SDL on Linux, and I don't see this changing for a long time. More titles will use OpenGL for video instead of the 2D interfaces, but they're still going to use
SDL to get that done.
LG: Ok, so OpenGL itself is a…?
Ryan: 10. Everything will be using it sooner than later, even things that don't know they are, much like how Quartz
turned out on the Mac. Even SDL hides OpenGL behind the basic 2D video interfaces in the next major version.
2D framebuffers are a dead end, and having to write pixels manually is going to become a slower and slower path. Everything doing video, games or otherwise, will be using high level graphics APIs, like OpenGL or Cairo, that eventually talk
3D primitives and shader programs to the hardware. Cute things like wobbly windows or Apple's Expose' or Microsoft's Flip3D are just side effects and bonuses of that transition.
LG: And on the audio side, how important is OpenAL ?
Ryan: As much as I like OpenAL, last year I would have said 3…a novelty that has a small fanbase that like the API and a majority of developers treating it like OpenGL vs. Direct3D…it's what "everyone else" uses, but it's not something they care deeply about on Windows.
Windows Vista removing hardware acceleration from DirectSound made OpenAL more like a 7, though. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes the defacto standard for game audio on Windows, and thus everywhere else, too. Creative's Alchemy project shows that there was a real demand for this, and crippling DirectSound was a baffling mistake on Microsoft's part. Mac OS X game developers rejoiced when OpenAL shipped in the default 10.4 install, since CoreAudio was really painful to program. Linux, of course, has had OpenAL easily available for years.
It's nice to not be swimming upstream for once. :)
I don't think anyone thinks of audio being as important as video…we probably won't use OpenAL for the bleeps and bloops a system makes when new email arrives like we'll use OpenGL to render basic window system controls…so it lands around 7 instead of 10. Important for Linux gaming, not so important for Linux in general.
LG: These are always controversial, but we need to cover them. How about WINE, Transgaming & Cedega, and CodeWeavers & CrossOver?
Ryan: They're a 2.
I think they'll always be around, and as long as Windows is dominant, they'll definitely have a use, but I just never manage to find anything that works with them, game or otherwise. Most things I've tried tend to crash on startup, but I don't really put much effort into it, and to be fair, I've never really tried to use them for the things they want you to: Microsoft Office, World of Warcraft, etc, so my results aren't really surprising. Usually it's more like data wrapped in a Windows installer .exe that I need to extract and can't.
But if you can only use it for a handful of apps, I'm not sure it justifies the man-years of development going into them. It seems like implementing the entire win32 API to run iTunes is a long way around just to be able to buy stuff from the iTunes Store. That's just my opinion, though.
People talk about Wine and company like it's going to kill Linux, but I just don't see that happening.
I still say that Transgaming's SwiftShader is way more impressive than Cedega, but that's just me…the tech behind that is like Geek Porn to me, I can't lie.
LG: A newer entry in this market is Falling
Leaf and their product, Alky.
Ryan: 1? I don't know much about these guys, except they have some sort of wine-like tech. But if they are just starting now, they are never going to get far, considering how long wine itself took to get where it is. Even focused on just gaming tech, I think they'd have trouble competing with Transgaming, who has a solid pile of really smart people building on top of wine's foundation.
LG: What about id Software and Epic MegaGames, both of whom are known for making native GNU/Linux versions of their games.
Ryan: 8. Add
Valve in there, too, since id, Epic and Valve supply the tech that powers most triple-A titles, and that's not likely to change in the next 5 years.
It almost doesn't matter if we see Half-Life 3 on Linux, so long as we get the Source Engine ported. Same for Quake 5 (Doom 4? Whatever) and UT3 and such. That id and Epic see value in Linux ports of their games is great, because it adds a ton of legitimacy to the platform, but that their engines are available is what's important, because then you can lobby to their licensees. And boy, there's lots of licensees now. You really can't build a game from scratch in 2007…most things are building on top ofsomething, and usually it's UnrealEngine3.
This proved to be a win with UnrealEngine1, UnrealEngine2, and I'm sure it will with UnrealEngine3, too. I'm sure TTimo [Timothee Besset] at id would say the same for Doom and Quake tech, and the other Linux titles they spawned.
LG: What about Tux Games and the related company, Linux Game Publishing ?
Ryan: 3. I don't see Tux Games building an empire. Loki was too aggressive about obtaining titles, LGP is not aggressive enough. I'm sort of the opinion that the Loki/LGP model isn't the right way to go, though. I think we need more ports on the same disc as the Windows version, or freely downloadable for use with the Windows retail disc…it's a serious problem not being able to get the product to consumers trivially…I think it would be hard to make a profit within those bounds with a third-party porting house.
Then again, that assumes a brick-and-mortar retail store. If everyone moves to the Steam /iTunes/whatever model of consuming content, it's possible they could really thrive, but I think physical distribution is always going to be an albatross around Michael Simms's neck.
LG: And the traditional nemesis, Microsoft.
Ryan: 1. I'm surprised you asked about Microsoft. Really, they're the status quo. Even with something as controversial as Vista, people don't really move to or from Windows in any significant quantities.
The real threat to Linux adoption is Apple, not Microsoft. If you didn't know, now you know.
LG: And how about Google?
Ryan: 6. Maybe 5 or 4. They've definitely been enthusiastic about Linux versions of their desktop apps–heck, they paid me to port some of them–but with the exception of companies they acquired, like Keyhole for Google Earth, they just simply don't DO many desktop apps.
There is some belief that they'll deliver the world into a new era of AJAX'd web 2.0 applications, and while I'm down with that, I'm not sure that actually helps Linux…if it doesn't matter what desktop you run Firefox on, why change desktops?
LG: Finally, on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is the moribundity of Windows NT on PowerPC and 10 is akin to the virus-like spread of World of Warcraft, what is the future of GNU/Linux gaming going to be like in the next couple of years?
Ryan: It's hard to say, of course. I think we've passed the usual also-ran bar at this point, and that's almost as good as critical mass. Every alternate operating system declares desktop legitimacy as soon as a commercial title arrives, but the real test is what happens afterwards…Civilization: Call to Power had a BeOS version, too, after all.
Ultimately, I don't think it's entirely a social issue when one of these OSes fails; it's actually largely technical. OS/2 added whole driver layers, DIVE and DART, because they found out that Doom 1 couldn't move pixels to video RAM fast enough, but never really gave the system the rich APIs it needed. Neither OS/2 nor BeOS really provided robust OpenGL support, etc. Driver support in general starts to slip, and sooner than later, the technology of games marched on without them.
Linux has been keeping up better, in that the base system evolves to meet modern needs better, and for now closed-source video drivers give you all the same functionality you'd expect on Windows, so we're not just flat-out locked out. You'd be surprised, that's half the battle.
From there, keeping a few engines portable and aggressively lobbying for the right titles can make a big difference.
The problem recently is that we've been going through a dry spell, so everything seems a little bleak right now…for me, this is largely due to downtime between UnrealEngine2 and UnrealEngine3. After UT2003 shipped, I couldn't sleep for all the porting work to be done, but now, there's not much going on while people are preparing next-gen titles on next-gen tech. I expect 2008 will blow up again like 2003 did.
In the meantime, I'm following the smarter points of Loki's plans, and continuing to build infrastructure I'll need instead of wishing it would show up…SDL is moving towards the new 1.3 API, I just announced my next-gen loki_setup replacement today…and other things.
I guess you're asking what Linux gaming will look like in five years and, in a roundabout way, I'm answering: whatever we make it look like.
LG: Thank you Ryan, for taking the time to answer our questions and giving usyour perspective. More importantly, thanks for all the hard work you've doneimproving the infrastructure for games on GNU/Linux.

Raven Tarrance, a 16-year-old from East Oakland who is serving as a page for the House of Representatives, wrote this essay about watching the presidential election returns in Washington, D.C. with pages representing both parties. -Katy
November 4, 2008: the Election Day that would make history. This was the day that every person, young or old, had the right to let their voice be heard and vote. But the person that made the day so special was Barack Obama, the African American presidential candidate.
My classmates and I watched CNN anxiously while waiting for the results. Obama T-shirts and signs filled the room. As the room overflowed with pages, you could feel the tension rise between the two parties. Harmless teasing turned into candidate bashing.
After becoming bored with the immaturity level in the Day Room, I stopped paying attention to the television screen. I gradually became uninterested in the biggest election in the history of America. Everything that was important earlier that day was unimportant. I began to question everything I thought mattered.
"How much of this really matters to people where I live?" I asked myself, "And why should they care?"
Here I was in Washington D.C. as a page, while most of my friends have never been out of California. People dying every day on the streets of Oakland, and I'm arguing with a McCain supporter. At that moment I realized I was wasting time, concerning myself with ignorance. I was becoming a part of the problem, instead of the solution. I started to understand that no matter what happened, change would come, regardless of who got elected.
The only thing that mattered was the future. When we leave the Page Program, none of us will remember the argument we had the night of the election. But we will remember who won: Barack Obama, our first black president.

Scania Supports B100 in its Trucks
31 May 2006
After completing long-term tests, Scania, the Swedish manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks and buses, is now guaranteeing operating reliability for 100% biodiesel (B100) for all its trucks with engines featuring unit injectors.
This means that most Scania trucks built during the past eight years—more than 300,000 vehicles—are officially capable of using unblended biodiesel fuels that meet the European standard EN14214 for fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) fuels. Scania tested with rapeseed methyl ester (RME), the prevalent biodiesel fuel in Europe at this point.
Compared with petroleum diesel, RME has a somewhat lower energy content, which in turn means slightly higher fuel consumption and lower engine power output. Scania's own field and laboratory tests show that RME has somewhat higher emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), while emissions of carbon monoxide and soot particles are lower than for diesel.
The biggest obstacle for RME, according to Scania, appears to be that rapeseed cultivation capacity is insufficient to cover the transport industry's considerable needs.
Calculations in Europe show that utilization of all land available for rapeseed cultivation within the EU would result in fuel production to meet no more than 10-15 percent of the demand for commercial vehicle fuel requirements.
From the Swedish viewpoint, it is therefore highly positive that the government has set a target for permitting a 3-percent blend of RME in diesel fuel, and in the longer term to increase this to 5 percent, which is standard practice in Europe.—Jonas Hofstedt, Scania's engine development manager
Since RME has higher viscosity and greater density than diesel fuel, Scania is suggesting more frequent oil-change intervals to ensure that the engine oil does not become diluted.
As an alternative to running on 100-percent RME, Scania had already previously guaranteed operating reliability with RME blends of up to 5 percent in regular diesel fuel meeting the EN590 standard.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Scania Supports B100 in its Trucks:
Rapeseed oil: 100 gallons per acre per year.
Algae oil: 10,000 gallons per acre per year.
There are many other oil options other than algae that yield far more per acre per year than rapeseed, such as biomass to liquid etc. No problem running the entire transportation network on home grown fuels.
If biodiesel from algae is so good, why isn't anyone doing it? I suspect that all the cost calculations are lies, because otherwise the first company to produce BD by algae would be instant multi-billionares.
Well Sid, the first large scale algal biodiesel operation just went online in New Zealand. Check out http://www.renewableenergyaccess.com/rea/news/story?id=44928 to read more of the 'lies' you espouse. Microorganisms are the future of energy. W00t!
There are several startups in the US now trying to get algae growing commercially, but are still at the R&D phase. As for cost calculations, the US government decided from its Aquatic Species program that biodiesel from algae would cost about twice that of normal diesel, so canned the project. Since then of course, the price of crude has gone up by much more than that, and the companies soon to be making ABD reckon they can do it much more economically than those early researchers managed.
Can anyone inform me what is the selling price of Biodiesel B100 in Europe now?
Thank you and appreciate your help.

Is particle physics, like beauty, in the eye of the beholder? You would be forgiven for thinking that now that two teams have analysed data from Fermilab's Tevatron collider and come to the exact opposite conclusion about whether that data hints at a new particle.
A task force is being formed to figure out the discrepancy, but the final arbiter may be the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, which will ultimately collect more data than the Tevatron.
In April, members of the Tevatron's CDF experiment reported finding a curious signal in the debris from eight years' worth of collisions between protons and antiprotons. The signal hinted at the existence of a particle that was not predicted by the standard model, the leading theory of particle physics. Theorists scrambled to come up with possible explanations, writing dozens of papers on the topic in the following weeks.
Last week, evidence for the signal, or "bump" in the data, seemed to get even stronger. The CDF team reported that it had analysed twice as much data as in April and had still found the bump.
But now, a rival team performing an independent analysis of Tevatron data has turned up no sign of the bump. It is using the same amount of data as CDF reported in April, but this data was collected at a different detector at the collider called DZero.
"Nope, nothing here – sorry," says Dmitri Denisov, a spokesman for DZero.
Different detectors
When the CDF collaboration came out with its result in April, DZero researchers spent a couple of days doing a quick check of their data and saw no bump. But to make sure they were comparing like with like, they spent the next two months painstakingly checking that their analysis resembled that of CDF's as closely as possible.
Today, they are reporting that their analysis shows no bump. "We're basically excluding a signal at well over the 95 per cent confidence level," Denisov told New Scientist. The result shows "good agreement with the standard model".
"Now of course the most interesting question is where are these differences coming from?" he says.
The fact that the detector is different should not come into play, he argues. "It would be really puzzling if it's a physical process that's supposed to exist in nature, and one experiment sees it and another doesn't," he says. "Protons and antiprotons don't know what detector they're colliding in."
Modelling issue?
He does not know what is causing the discrepancy but suspects it may be due to differences in the models that each team uses to describe the data. The studies look at how often collisions between protons and antiprotons produce a W boson, which transmits the weak nuclear force, and a pair of jets of subatomic particles called quarks.
The CDF team found an unexpected abundance of these events – a W boson and a pair of jets – where the mass of the jet pair was about 145 gigaelectronvolts, suggesting that a new particle of that same mass was created (see graph). But other events involving different combinations of particles can mimic the signal of a W boson and a pair of jets. If the CDF team incorrectly modelled the number of those "background" signals, it might make it look as if there were a bump in the data, says Denisov.
Rob Roser, a CDF spokesman, acknowledges that "it could be a modelling issue", but says it is too soon to discount CDF's result. "It's disappointing that the peak didn't just jump out at them too," he told New Scientist. "But just because it didn't doesn't mean there's not something there."
Task force
Roser has not yet had time to look carefully at DZero's paper (pdf), which has been submitted to Physical Review Letters. But he says a cursory look suggests that the discrepancies between the two results may not be as large as it seems. The CDF team estimated that the potential new particle is produced at a certain rate in proton-antiproton collisions, but there is some uncertainty in that rate. If the real rate is at the lower end of CDF's range of possibilities, for example, the discrepancy between the two teams' results is smaller.
"I think we have more work ahead of us before we understand what is going on," says Roser.
A task force, made up of members of both experiments, along with Fermilab theorists Estia Eichten and Keith Ellis, will now try to get to the bottom of the discrepancy, a process that could take months, Roser says.
Roser says the CDF team has only analysed 70 per cent of the data it expects to collect by September and will continue crunching the numbers to see if the bump appears in the full data set. But Denisov says DZero is satisfied with the analysis it has already done. "We do not plan to continue the analysis with the same rigour as we did over the last two months," he says. "We are concentrating on many other things."
Friendly rivalry
Even if the task force's investigation proves inconclusive, both Denisov and Roser say the Large Hadron Collider at CERN will eventually collect enough data to settle the question of whether there is a bump at 145 GeV.
They disagree over when this will happen, though. The LHC collides particles together at higher energies than the Tevatron, which produces more debris in which a new particle could be lurking. This leads Denisov to estimate that the LHC will collect enough data to look for the first evidence of the bump in the next few months.
Roser points out that the LHC collides protons together rather than protons and antiprotons, as happens at the Tevatron. That means that even though it produces some collisions between quarks and antiquarks – which could be important in reproducing the bump – it generates them in smaller numbers than the Tevatron. So Roser estimates it could take the LHC more than a year to make its ruling.
So are the two teams going to be arguing bitterly until then? "It's been a little bit tense over the last few days," laughs Denisov. "But I think it's friendly. I would say it's like two sports teams competing."
"I think it's going to be fun," says Roser. "This is science in progress."

'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' at Comic-Con: Cast talks challenges and goals
"Captain America: The Winter Solider" is a very different movie than it's predecessor. Like "Marvel's The Avengers." is takes place in the modern day, a relatively new world to Captain America/Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). In the new movie he teams with Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) to do battle against his former best friend, Bucky Barnes, now The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan). As the movie's cast descends on Comic-Con to greet the fans, they and directors Joe and Anthony Russo are able to shed a little bit of light on the film.
Joe Russo starts off the discussion, noting that the idea behind the second movie was to be as modern and edgy as possible with Captain America, to reflect on him no longer living in the past.
To the question of the working relationship between the Black Widow and Captain America, Scarlett says that the two actually have a very similar fighting style and are able to develop their own shorthand with each other, due to both being ground-based in their combat, whereas their teammates like Iron Man, Hulk and Thor have more super powers to them.
Reflecting on his character, Evans says, " The hurdle with Captain America is his nature is to put himself last. It makes it difficult to find an interesting film, because most complex characters have flaws." He says the movie delves into deeper layers of Cap and his relationship with Black Widow. Co-star Samuel L. Jackson hints at a romance between the two, but no one can elaborate.
When asked about Winter Soldier, Stan says that his similar is very similar to Captain America. "He's lost in this new world," the actor says. Emily VanCamp is a newcomer to the series, playing the role of Agent 13. "It was a great experience," she says of her time in the movie, adding that it's unlike anything she's done before. However, she wouldn't shed anymore light on her character. In the comics, Agent 13 is also the niece of Captain America's former love interest, Peggy Carter.
Evans wouldn't answer a question about Agent Coulson still being alive in the TV series Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, saying he didn't know what he could and couldn't say.
Anthony Mackie, who portrays Falcon in the movie, says he was a fan of the character growing up and wouldn't be opposed to his role being carried over to "Avengers: Age of Ultrom." Of course, he wouldn't. He also said he was gunning for Tony Stark, so he could become the only flying Avenger.
"Captain America: The Winter Solider" will be in theaters April 4, 2014.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 10, 2012
CONTACT: Jen Neville or Randy Wilkerson, email@example.com, 720-962-7050
LAKEWOOD, Colo. – Western Area Power Administration posted Scoping Reports for the Estes-to-Flatiron Transmission Lines Rebuild Project today, which contains a summary of comments received during the environmental assessment and environmental impact statement scoping periods.
The reports, located at http://go.usa.gov/rvtP, represents a major milestone in the EIS process required by the National Environmental Policy Act.
"The scoping reports provide a quick breakdown of the types of comments we received and helps outline key issues raised during the scoping period," said Tim Snowden, NEPA project manager.
The reports summarize more than a year's worth of comments and thoughts from the public. Many comments came from the project inbox at email@example.com, but a considerable amount of important comments and alternative routes were generated at the local workshops held Oct. 2-4.
During the workshops, the residents of Estes and Loveland talked about how different paths for the power line could impact the environment, their neighbors and the scenic views of their town and surrounding national forests. Participants also shared input by drawing alternative routes on maps provided at the workshops.
"It is important for people to realize that we are still early in the NEPA process and that more details about the project alternatives and potential impacts will be published in the draft EIS next summer. Scoping is just the beginning of the public involvement process and is designed to get input and ideas from the public. It was an educational experience in the complexity of differing views and issues that came up regarding their ideas," said Snowden.
The collective comments will help Western determine the alternatives to review in a draft environmental impact statement expected to be available in Summer 2013.
"We appreciate all the participation from the communities in Loveland and Estes Park during the public meetings and workshops," said Snowden. "The comments and input we received will help guide the alternative transmission line routes as we draft the EIS."
About the project
Western proposes to upgrade and co-locate two aging transmission lines in the area onto one right of way. Upgrading these lines is necessary to comply with safety standards; ensure reliable and cost effective electricity in Estes Park, Loveland and along the Front Range; and provide accessibility for maintenance and emergencies. The lines in question are essential for the delivery of power to the Town of Estes Park from a variety of generation sources along the Front Range.
See the fact sheet on the website at http://go.usa.gov/rvtP to learn more about the Estes-to-Flatiron project.
For additional information on the proposed project, the EIS process or to receive a copy of the draft EIS when it is published, contact Tim Snowden, Western Area Power Administration, 5555 E. Crossroads Blvd., P.O. Box 3700, Loveland, CO 80539-3003, fax (970) 461-7213; or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

How You Can Help

By: DiGuilio Advertising for Wahiawa General Hospital
In Hawaii, the concentration of physicians is in and around Downtown Honolulu. This can leave rural areas, outer islands, and indigenous peoples with poor access to quality health care providers. This, along with a growing trend towards holistic care, led to the creation of the Family Practice Program, a partnership with Wahiawa General Hospital and John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The program, which started in 1992 and had its first class entering in 1994, has a very specific mission: to serve rural communities and provide indigenous healthcare, concentrating on Hawaiian Healthcare and the Pacific Basin.
"There is a movement across the United States towards coordinating care," explained Dr. Neal Palafox, Director of the residency program and Co-Chair of the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Hawaii's John A. Burns School of Medicine. "Each family would have one primary doctor. The residency program addresses this trend as well as some of the special needs of Native Hawaiian and other indigenous patients."
Every year, six new residents begin the three-year program. In addition to treating patients, each of the eighteen residents volunteers their time for a number of community activities. All residents participate as team physicians and health educators for Waianae, Waialua, Leilehua, Mililani, and Waialua High Schools. They make house calls and travel to other islands in the Pacific Basin to treat patients and conduct cancer research in those areas that have been exposed to nuclear testing, particularly the Marshall Islands.
"Everything these physicians do during their residency is to enhance the idea of family and community," said Dr. Palafox. "Upon completing the program, many of the physicians remain in Central Oahu to practice, myself included."

Comments about Topeak Explorer Tubular Rack:
I did not realize this before I started trying to mount it on my older sport/touring bike, but the rack requires seat stay bosses for mounting! That piece of information is clear in the included instructions but is not called out on Nashbar's site or any of the other internet shopping sites I saw the rack on. I ended up putting it on my hybrid/comfort bike instead of the tourer I wanted to put it on. There are seat post boss adaptors out there, so at some point I'd like to pick up another Explorer and put it on the tourer. Then I'll be able to share MTX system bags/baskets between the two bikes.Great price on this high-quality rack.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Learn how to make self-rising flour quickly and easily.
Lately, I have only been buying all-purpose flour at the grocery store. A few years ago, I kept a canister filled with all-purpose flour and another filled with self-rising on my kitchen counter. What I noticed was that I used my all-purpose flour a lot more quickly than I used the self-rising, leaving the self-rising to not be as fresh when I reached the bottom of the canister as I would like for it to be.
I also do not like having to have two kinds of flour when we travel in our RV. The space is absolutely treasured and I do not take one single inch of it for granted!
My solution?
I now make my own self-rising flour as I need it.
It's really simple to make and only takes about two seconds.
Here's how I make it.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Measure all ingredients and whisk to combine.
Self-rising flour is wonderful to use for that perfect buttermilk biscuit, buttermilk pancakes, and especially these cinnamon roll biscuits that I make. It is definitely an ingredient that I use frequently, I now just mix my own really quickly.
How about you? What kind of flour do you use most often?

The Somali government this week announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to the "successful conviction of a journalist killer". Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon announced the reward on Sunday (February 17th), noting that "one journalist killed is one journalist too many".
He expressed his government's commitment to undertake judicial reform as a means of protecting journalists. The announcement follows a meeting between Prime Minister Shirdon and Somali media workers the previous day when they welcomed the Prime Minister's "assurances for justice and respect for the freedom of the press".
On Monday (February 18th), forty-five media stakeholders gathered in Mogadishu to discuss the state of the media in Mogadishu with particular focus on media law reform, security of journalists and persecution of journalists.
The consultative meeting, organized by the National Union of Somali Journalists, welcomed the Somali government's readiness "within the first three months' of its existence" to open up the existing media law of 2007 for consultation with a view to make possible improvement in line with the provisional federal constitution of Somalia.
The Union called for a "far-reaching review of the media law" to ensure it is in conformity with the Somalia's provisional constitution and respected international standards on freedom of expression and information. The meeting also called on the government to put together a committee to review the law in consultation with all concerned stakeholders and to repeal problematic provisions as well as "establish a special protection force for journalists by formally empowering it to investigate crimes against journalists and make charges."

FEMALE tree swallows may influence who fathers their offspring by dictating which position males use during sex.
Few bird species sport penises, but in those that have one it bends to the left. This is thought to improve the male's chances of getting sperm into the female's left-tilted oviduct. Michael Lombardo from Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan, and his colleagues observed hundreds of copulations between tree swallows. These notoriously unfaithful birds are graced with mini-penises.
The swallows mounted from the left three times more often than from the right, but Lombardo notes that the female positions her tail to dictate which side the male adopts. This may allow her to manipulate the male's chances, he told a meeting of the Midwest Regional Animal Behavior Society Conference at Bowling Green, Ohio, last week.

Republicans have plenty of reasons to believe that the 2014 mid-term elections will be favorable, and maybe very favorable, for them. But that doesn't necessarily prefigure success in 2016, as this story by Dan Balz of the Washington Post demonstrates.
Mr. Balz asked a veteran of GOP presidential campaigns which, if any, of the recent battleground states are likely to become more Republican by 2016? Answer: Very few. According to Balz:
From 1992-2012, Democrats built a base that rivals or exceeds that of the Republicans in the earlier period [1980-2000]. Eighteen states and the District have voted Democratic in each of the six presidential elections. They represent a total 242 electoral votes, according to the current allocation. Three other states, with a total of 15 electoral votes, have backed the Democrats five times.
Meanwhile, Republicans won 13 states in those six elections, but because most of them were smaller states, their electoral votes totaled just 102. The biggest consistent GOP state in this period has been Texas, with 38 electoral votes. Five other states backed the GOP nominee in five of the six elections, for an additional 56 electoral votes.
Adding together the states that voted Republican or Democratic in at least four of the six elections gave Democrats 281 electoral votes and Republicans 219. Only two states — Colorado and Florida, with a total of 38 electoral votes — were won three times for each party in those six elections.
Key states that were once genuine toss up states, or leaned Republican, are now much more reliably Democratic. "Given the current alignment, the Republicans must find states that have been voting Democratic and convert them to their column in 2016," according to Balz.
Will they succeed?
William H. Frey, a demographer and census expert at the Brookings Institution, analyzed nine key states and found the following: five—Colorado, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, and Virginia—are definitely moving toward the Democrats because of their growing diversity. Three states—Iowa, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin—are genuine toss-ups but aren't moving in the GOP's direction. Ohio is one state that could become more hospitable to Republicans, because aging white baby boomers continue to make up a large part of the population there.
Beyond those nine states, Frey "sees some glimmers of hope for Republicans in Michigan and Pennsylvania, if the GOP can find the right candidate." On the other hand, Frey envisions potential problems for the party in states such as Arizona and Georgia, which he said could be toss-ups by 2016 and could lean Democratic in the long run.
Balz includes the caveat that nothing is static in politics, candidate quality matters, and President Obama's standing with the electorate will influence how people vote in 2016. Still, he concludes, "Republicans have considerable ground to recapture to win the presidency, and underlying trends have not been helping them."
The danger for the GOP is that in focusing on 2014, it fails to do the work–in terms of policy reforms, governing vision, outreach, tone and countenance, and recruitment–that is necessary for it to win the presidency in 2016. It turns out that the 2010 mid-term election was something of a false dawn for Republicans, at least when it came to 2012. They would be fools to commit the same error again or underestimate the magnitude of the long-term challenges still facing the GOP.

"As the daughter of a Holocaust survivor I was raised to believe in the absolute importance and necessity of the State of Israel for the protection of the Jewish people. If there had been a Jewish state prior to World War II, millions of senseless murders could have been prevented. Whether we are Jews living in Argentina, Mexico, Germany, Japan, or the United States, the IDF continues to fight for all our freedoms.

North Stonington - Tonight's Board of Finance meeting will cap a busy week for members of the Board of Selectmen as they try to push ahead with plans for two village bridges.
"We're keeping pretty active on this thing for the next week," First Selectman Nicholas H. Mullane II said Tuesday. "We want to keep (the plans) moving, we don't want it to stall."
The schedule began with a public hearing Monday night, a regularly scheduled board meeting on Tuesday and a planned appearance at tonight's finance meeting in Town Hall.
About 70 people turned out for Monday night's hearing, Mullane said, with residents and Federal Emergency Management Agency representatives on hand for questions about plans for the Old Town Hall Bridge and the West Village Green Bridge. The Town Hall Bridge has been closed and metal plates have covered the damage to the Village Green Bridge since the March 30, 2010, flood.
The cost of the Town Hall bridge could be $1.1 to $1.2 million, Mullane said, with FEMA covering 75 percent. The cost depends on whether the town adopts plans for a single- or double-arch bridge. A straw poll at the meeting showed a small margin favoring the double-arch design.
Most seemed in favor of going ahead with repairing, rather than replacing, the Village Green Bridge, Mullane said. The repair cost is estimated at $200,000.
After the selectmen "digested" the feedback during Tuesday's meeting, Mullane said he would go before the finance board tonight to discuss a request for $177,000. The money would be used to pay the second phase engineering costs of the bridge project.
Mullane said that FEMA would pay the town back $133,000 of the $177,000. Any additional money would most likely come from the town's general fund, Mullane said.
If all goes according to schedule, Mullane said the Town Hall Bridge could be completed by November. Repairs would then begin on the Village Green Bridge, which could be done by July 2012.

When most people think of statues or sculptures for the backyard, items like garden fairies or maybe a stone lion come to mind. As valid as these statues are for every garden, they only represent a fraction of the sculptures that can add personality to a backyard. While exquisite statues of fairies hide among the flowerbeds, and scenery and animals immortalized in bronze liven up open spaces, bridges provide one of the nicer additions to a garden.
Although a real, stone bridge that can be used by people for crossing streams and ponds would be ideal, it might also cost just as much as putting a new addition onto your home or business. Luckily, you don't have to construct an entire, life-sized bridge to add one to the backyard. The Halfpence Cobblestone Bridge is a beautiful sculpture that can be placed over a trickle of water or a miniature gully. It might be too small for you to use but would work just fine for fairies and gnomes. With its cobblestone texture, this miniature replica of an old English bridge adds quaint realism to any garden.

The software and interface read the signal that's being emitted from the time-coded vinyl records with is reading your music collection as well and where a decade and more ago you used to have to lug crates of records, now you only need two.
Although, now a lot of your old school cats that had to lug crates look at the new comers who've only used a Serato or Traktor and kind of think of it as cheating.
Polly: I've got to agree with you on that art aspect. They've got to figure out how to digitally convey all of the backing information and content that an actual physical copy does. That's the biggest reason I don't buy music in digital form only.

There are many things Bob Bowman will consider when he casts a ballot in this year's presidential race.
The 58-year-old eastern Iowa farmer wants a strong free-trade advocate in the White House. He wants a president who strengthens the financial safety net for farmers. And, like many Iowans, Bowman wants a proven supporter of ethanol.
"Obviously, that's toward the top of the list," says Bowman, who leans Republican but says his vote is "still up for grabs."
Bowman, who farms 2,000 acres, illustrates what agriculture and political experts such as Iowa State University political scientist Steffen Schmidt say is a potential lever to sway on-the-fence voters in Iowa.
Ethanol might have slipped off the national radar, he says, but could grow in importance if the race in Iowa tightens between Republican John McCain and Democratic Barack Obama.
A Sept. 27 Rasmussen Reports poll showed Obama with a 51% to 43% lead over McCain in Iowa. The state has been almost equally divided the past two presidential elections. In 2004, President Bush edged Sen. John Kerry 49.9% to 49.2%. In 2004, Al Gore barely beat Bush, 48.5% to 48.2%.
Schmidt says McCain's early opposition to ethanol tax credits could diminish his chances in the state. Obama, by contrast, he says, campaigned heavily on ethanol prior to the Iowa caucuses.
"I think it's always going to weigh in with a certain segment of voters who see ethanol as an important source of alternative energy," Schmidt says.
Both campaigns insist their approach to biofuels would better serve Iowans and the nation.
McCain supports energy alternatives such as ethanol, but believes the fuel additive can compete without "isolationist tariffs and special interest subsidies," says Iowa campaign spokeswoman Wendy Riemann.
"Every year, the ethanol industry shows further signs that it can live without government support," Riemann says. "By leveling the playing fields, and allowing the greater development of market-based solutions, John McCain believes we can gain better options for our fuel needs."
Jenni Lee, an Iowa spokeswoman for Obama, says Obama's experience representing Illinois has positioned him as an authority on ethanol's benefits.
"While Sen. Obama is committed to supporting Iowa biofuels, Sen. McCain sides with oil companies over ethanol," Lee said in an e-mail. "Sen. McCain is a vocal opponent of ethanol subsidies, which would not only cost the state thousands of jobs, but it just makes no sense for our energy security."
McCain drew criticism last week from Iowa Gov. Chet Culver, a Democrat, who cast ethanol as a state job-creator and a solution to high gas prices.
"I think if he were really putting 'country first,' and he was serious about cutting free from our dependence on foreign oil, he wouldn't oppose supporting ethanol," Culver says.
Ethanol's impact on the Iowa race is clouded by variables, including delayed disaster relief for this summer's record flood, a shaken national economy and the social-conservative appeal of McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Schmidt says.
Drake University political scientist Dennis Goldford says ethanol "isn't one of those deal breakers, the way abortion or gay marriage is. It's not a make-or-break issue."

Saturday is our 21st birthday. On this auspicious day, we would not do justice to ourselves without saying 'a big thank you' to our proprietor, staff, readers and clients. We are saying thank you all because we are celebrating this birthday at a time when not only the mission of the company -educating, informing and enlightening the people of this country so that they can develop a positive conscience to partake in national development has remained unaltered, but also our 21st birthday has come amidst great achievements and transformation. All of it is made possible because the proprietor, readers and clients trust us and allow us to stay in business. Above all, we are much indebted to the young staff that today has taken the Daily Observer to another level. Besides, it is always befitting to say congratulations to people who in one way or the other registered significant success stories in their lives, especially our loved ones and co-workers. However, the word 'congratulations' does not come out of a vacuum; it comes out of hard work and commitment to duty as indicated in the words of wisdom concerning the need for all able-bodied human beings to work and earn their living from the sweat of their labour.
The Observer Company has been known for a remarkable editorial policy, chief amongst them is giving accurate information to the Gambian populace both within and outside. This is done with specific reference to the pace of development projects and programmes initiated and implemented by the government of The Gambia. The Gambian leader's emphasis on the need for Gambians to be hardworking and committed to the development of the country is borne out of the strong conviction that nobody will come outside of The Gambia to develop the country for us.
It is also done out of our realisation and conviction that every good institution has a mission and vision; to this end, bravo to the young staff of the Observer Company for a job well done.
We live in a modern and competitive age, which calls for employing of creative and innovative ideals for the benefit of all. 21 years on, this paper has been waxing stronger than ever before, thanks to the able, efficient and dedicated staff and the encouraging support received from the proprietor and the readers.

'Pretty Little Liars' - 'Shadow Play' clips: Spencer, Hanna and Emily schemeAdd to Favorites | Pretty Little Liars
"Pretty Little Liars" is taking a trip back (way back) next week with "Shadow Play," an ode to the film noir movies of the 1940s. We think viewers are going to love it and now you can get a sneak peek with these clips released by ABC Family.
Above, Spencer, Hanna and Emily retrieve Alison's silver diary from Ezra's classroom and hide just in time to spy Mona retrieving something of her own from his room. What do you suppose she's taking?
Below, Toby grills Spencer about her drug habit and what's going on with Alison -- "Trust you? You're spread so thin I can see right through you."
Finally, Hanna, Emily and Spencer discuss Ezra and whether Aria is back together with him or not. "Show of hands: Who hasn't lied about something romantic to the rest of the group," snarks Spencer, as she assigns Hanna the job of keeping an eye on Fitz. Is Hanna up to the job?
"Pretty Little Liars" "Shadow Play" airs Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

World Cup Golden Boot: Paulinho, Edin Dzeko and Alexis Sanchez tipped by Ed Chamberlin
Last Updated: 05/06/14 3:47pm
Sky Bet have just the 425 markets on the World Cup and one I love to throw a dart at is the top goalscorer market. We hit the bar in this column two years ago when backing Mario Mandzukic at 100/1 at Euro 2012.
When looking for the top goalscorer you need to find a player in a team with an easy group and that is capable of reaching the last four. Even if you lose in the semi-final, there's an extra game and another opportunity to score in the third place play-off.
Like so many players we will see in the World Cup, Paulinho is unrecognisable from the player we see in the Premier League when he puts on his national strip.
Ed Chamberlin
The one team that falls in to both categories is Brazil. They should score plenty of goals against Mexico, Croatia and Cameroon and have a great chance of reaching the last four. Neymar (10/1) and Fred (20/1) are trading at the shortest price of the Brazil players but I'm going to go more left field and have a small each-way bet on Paulinho at 150/1.
As Tottenham fans know, Paulinho loves to bomb forward and constantly gets himself in to decent goalscoring positions. His finishing at times last season was woeful. While he became a bit-part player for Spurs, he's central to what Luis Felipe Scolari does with Brazil. At a press conference last month Scolari revealed that he'd spoken to Paulinho and said "you're not playing much, but that doesn't worry me. You'll be starting". That suggests we'll get a good run for our money at 150/1.
Like so many players we will see in the World Cup, Paulinho is unrecognisable from the player we see in the Premier League when he puts on his national strip. In Brazil colours he often plays like a man possessed, just as he did in the Confederations Cup where he received the 'Bronze Ball' as the competition's third best player. I expect him to surprise people this summer and pick up a few goals for Brazil.
My other bet is Edin Dzeko at 66/1. Dzeko is "the man" for Bosnia-Herzegovina. He started every qualifier and scored an impressive 10 goals. In a tournament where head coaches will rotate their teams in the testing conditions, I expect Safet Susic to start Dzeko in every game. Also in his favour is the style that Susic plays. Bosnia won't die wondering and will have a real go. They scored 30 goals in qualifying and expect him to attack again in Brazil. They have Argentina with them in Group F but should be able to fill their boots against Nigeria, and especially Iran. They are unlikely to reach the last four but their group gives Dzeko an excellent chance and I expect Bosnia to qualify for the last 16, where they are likely to meet France.
Dzeko finished the season strongly for Manchester City and remains in excellent form scoring twice against the Ivory Coast last weekend.
Bosnia-Herzegovina should be entertaining to watch in Brazil and with the brilliant Miralem Pjanic loading the bullets, Edin Dzeko should be able to fire them in to the knockout phase and add to the impressive goal tally for his country.
Top goalscorer
Group bets
Chile are my dark horses for the World Cup and look a great bet to qualify from Group B, at the Netherlands' expense. If it wasn't for their tough group and the likelihood of meeting Brazil in the last 16, I'd have a decent bet on Chile at 50/1 and would be all over Alexis Sanchez in the top goalscorer market. Sanchez is dynamite when set free through the middle for Chile. Key to their hopes will be the fitness of Arturo Vidal. Vidal had knee cartilage surgery at the beginning of May. He's expected to be fit for Chile's opener against Australia on June 13 and has the ability to be one of the stars of the tournament.
Chile were awesome against England in November and have impressed again since, especially against Germany. That game ended in a 1-0 defeat but the performance, in which they outplayed Germany for large periods, further enhanced the reputation of Jorge Sampaoli and his team. The England coach and my Monday Night Football colleague Gary Neville was particularly impressed by their 2-0 win at Wembley.
While Sanchez and Vidal are the stars, the Chileans gel brilliantly as a team. Gary Medel and Jean Beausejour haven't pulled up many trees in England but seem inspired for their country. Medel played like Franz Beckenbauer at times at Wembley!
Conditions in Brazil won't faze Chile one bit and I'll be backing them to progress from Group B. They are 10/11 with Sky Bet to do so and I like the straight forecast 1. Spain 2. Chile at 23/10.
