President Obama gave the clearest indication yet that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke won't serve again after his term ends in January. In an interview this week, Obama said Bernanke had already served longer than he wanted, which it least one informed observer, at least initially, called tantamount to a firing.
Here's a look at seven of the contenders whom Fed watchers expect to make Obama's shortlist.
See the video version of this report
-- Greg Robb
Christina Romer
A close Obama associate, Romer, 54, was one of a few women in his inner circle, serving as chairwoman of the Council of Economic Advisers. She played, along with Larry Summers, a central role in crafting the $800 billion stimulus program in the wake of the financial crisis. An expert on monetary policy, Romer left the White House and returned to teaching at the University of California at Berkeley in 2010. She is a regular contributor to the New York Times' "Economic View" column.
Alan Blinder
A colleague of Bernanke's at Princeton University, Blinder, 67, had a stormy tenure at the Fed from 1993 until 1996 under Chairman Alan Greenspan. The media, often inaccurately, portrayed Blinder as staking out positions at odds with Greenspan's. Since leaving the Fed, Blinder has been a top macroeconomics adviser behind the scenes to Democrats.
Donald Kohn
A career Fed official, Kohn, 70, was one of the rare staff members of the central bank to rise to the Board of Governors. A confidant of Alan Greenspan's, Kohn was held in high regard by his colleagues at the central bank. He retired after 40 years at the Fed in 2010 and is an analyst at the Brookings Institution.
Lawrence Summers
One of the few members of the shortlist who has never held a position at the Fed, Larry Summers, 58, joined the Clinton administration and rose to become Treasury secretary. After a stormy tenure as president of Harvard University, Summers became a key Obama adviser during the 2008 campaign, when economic issues helped decide the election. Obama tapped Summers to be his first director of the National Economic Council. He stepped down in 2010 and returned to teaching at Harvard. He is perhaps best known among some constituencies for the cameo role he played in the founding of Facebook FB, -0.38% by Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg. In the movie "The Social Network," Summers is seen dismissing Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss's complaints against Zuckerberg.
Timothy Geithner
In the annals of the financial crisis, very few individuals had more impact than Geithner, 51. A protégé of former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, Geithner was president of the New York Fed when credit markets seized up in September 2008. Geithner crafted the government's response alongside Bernanke and then–Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. Obama tapped Geithner to be his Treasury secretary, from which post he quarterbacked the Dodd-Frank regulatory reform legislation through Congress. Geithner left the administration at the end of the first term and is writing a book based on his experiences.
Roger Ferguson
The only African-American on the shortlist of Fed watchers, Ferguson, 61, is currently the CEO of the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association. Ferguson served at the Fed under Alan Greenspan from 1997 until 2006. He was widely praised for his calm efficiency in the days after 9/11, when Greenspan was stuck overseas.
Janet Yellen
A member of Bernanke's inner circle, Yellen is a clear favorite in the race to replace Bernanke. Yellen, 66, has been helping make Fed monetary policy, with a few breaks, since 1994. Yellen, now the Fed vice chair under Bernanke, was the president of the San Francisco Fed Bank before coming back to Washington in 2010.

Today I bring you part two of my three part review, featuring an in depth look at combat and movement, character progression, crafting, gathering and trading as well as Player versus Player (PvP) in the province of Cyrodiil. For those of you who might have missed part one of my review, I highly recommend reading that first.
The combat in TESO is by far the worst aspect of the game, failing to deliver a fun experience as it tries to be both simplistic in nature with the amount of skills involved and complex in the execution of said skills and resource management. Throw in the standard latency involved in any MMO and you get a hot mess of a system that is one of the worst I have experienced in recent times.
There are three resource bars involved which almost each class will consistently have to look out for namely mana, health and stamina. Every class has some skills that use mana, even my tank oriented Dragonknight has to make use of it to deliver some brutal Fire Claw attacks or activate Dragon Armor, so skill points have to be spent in mana even for a tank oriented character, but more on that in the Character Progression section of the review.
Stamina is used for three things, namely dodging by tapping left, right, forward and backward twice, the character will roll out of the way to dodge an incoming attack, whilst blocking by holding up your shield or weapon also drains stamina. Lastly, weapon specific skills use stamina as a resource. This is where the first problem comes in, as stamina management becomes overly complex, creating a sense of resource starvation. An easy way to fix this is to take the stamina requirement of dodging away, so that only blocking and skills will use this resource.
You only have 5 active skills and one ultimate skill active during a battle, making only 6 skills total. At level 15, you will acquire the weapon swapping ability, so your second weapon will have its own skill bar, making 12 total skills during combat.
What makes the combat so terrible for me is not the minimalistic amount of active skills or the resource starvation I experienced, but the actual feel of combat coupled with latency.
My character felt as if he was floating about the world and even though the combat is of a much slower pace than most recent MMO's, my character still felt weightless. That coupled with a clunky movement makes the experience dull and annoying.
Blocking, albeit a nice idea in theory, just does not work with the standard MMO latency, as holding up my weapon or shield to block only registers a while later. For example, even though I hold my right mouse button, raising my shield before the enemy swings his sword or winds up an attack, his attacks still hit without being blocked. This is all because of latency, yet it is still an infuriating experience for anyone not sitting right next to the server.
Enemies that wind up an attack for a long time just feels out of place as well. A character holds up his sword far above his head, his hand glowing with power as he winds up his attack, which feels unrealistic. Yes, the reason I bring up unrealistic is because the game tries to be realistic in the way swordfighting works with blocking and dodging but fails to see just how silly the wind up attacks really look. When you do manage a successful block, you are treated with an enemy that is dazed, so you have a free shot. Pressing and holding left mouse button powers up your own big bad attack, delivering fatal damage to your would be foe.
The wealth of different enemies does not do much in terms of combat. Every foe has basic attacks, a power attack that "can" be blocked and a skill or two that can be interrupted by holding right mouse button and then pressing left mouse button. These skills can also be dodged and are telegraphed with a red shape on the ground to indicate where they will hit. Even though the combat is very similar to that of Skyrim, latency is such a big issue that I can not see the combat system changing for the better any time soon, as it will have to be completely reworked to become a fun experience for anyone with more than 100ms latency.
One of my favorite things about the Elder Scrolls series is that character skill customization and progression has almost limitless possibilities. Through a relatively complex system, TESO delivers a character progression experience that lets the player play the way they want too, the only limiting factor being class choice.
Every class can use every type of weapon and armor, with three sets of class skills separating them. For the Dragonknight I had the Ardent Flame tree which delivered heavy damage, Draconic Power, which was tank orientated skills and Earthen Heart skills which gave self healing and tanking skills.
With each level you acquire one point that can be spent on mana, health or stamina and one skill point that can be used to unlock an ability. Abilities after a certain amount of usage can also be morphed to add effects to them, costing a skill point. For example, my Dragon Spike ability could be morphed to either return damage on hit or increase armor by an additional 20% for the first 3 seconds of activation.
Skill points can be used not only to unlock class abilities, but weapon abilities, armor passive and active abilities for the three armor classes (light, medium and heavy) as well as Mages or Fighter's guild abilities and much, much more.
This means that I could play as a Dragonknight with light armor that uses a staff to cast spells, a hard hitting damage dealer with a two-handed sword or a tank in heavy armor using sword and shield. The possibilities and skill adaptation to playstyle is almost endless.
With such a great system, skill points feel a bit too few and far between while just leveling. Therefore, the developers have added additional skill points when completing important main quests and a Skyshard system.
Skyshards are littered throughout the world in various locations, from dungeons to Cyrodiil (which has 45 Skyshards) where the large scale PvP takes place. When you have found three Skyshards, they transform into a skillpoint, so finding more than a few extra along the way becomes almost a necessity.
Even though the Skyshard system is a great way for players to gain extra skill points, finding all of them in a zone becomes a massive chore and when choosing not to go look for the last few, I felt as if I was doing my character a disfavor and falling behind in power compared to players who do. Yet another problem is it forces PvP onto players who do not want to PvP or just dislike the large scale PvP in the game, as 45 Skyshards translate into 15 skill points, which is quite a lot, especially considering skill points are used in both gathering and crafting as well.
Crafting in TESO is far from easy and the game does not really explain it well, creating a complex affair that although intriguing becomes one big grind and gives the players too many options, as unlike most MMOs on the market, you can gather any material and every character has the full range of crafting professions available.
There are 6 crafting professions in TESO, namely Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Clothing, Enchanting, Provisioning and Woodworking. The easiest of which is Provisioning simply because general questing and looting will give you all the materials needed to start leveling it up without the need to farm materials.
All the crafting professions work a bit differently, though woodworking, clothing and blacksmithing are close to the same. As an example, here is how Blacksmithing works with a look at the four sliders you have to move through:
If you have the requirement materials in your bank (TESO lets you craft with materials from your bank) or in your inventory you will be able to craft a shiny new piece of armor, a potion, a Trotter Pie or even a great two-handed sword with the various professions. Most professions also let you deconstruct items found in the world for materials used in crafting, though most of the materials will have to be mined or plucked from the open world via gathering.
There is no skill required to gather, everyone can gather anything, but players attempting to hoard materials for every profession will quickly find themselves short on inventory space. One of the biggest problems both gathering and crafting I have experienced was that they also require skill points to unlock very useful passive abilities, like seeing a glow surrounding a crafting material in the open world to allowing higher level items to be crafted. This reliance on skill points for everything further forces a Skyshard grind that can become terribly boring.
So what if you do not want to spend countless hours running around gathering materials? Well, normally I would say go to the Auction House (AH), yet TESO does not have one, which is just shameful.
Thankfully, a player can be in 5 player created guilds at the same time, so players have taken it upon themselves to create trade guilds to combat the lack of an AH. Within these guilds players can post items up for sale in a measly system that is hard to use, with a tedious way to search items a lot of hard work from the whole guild just to really get the process started, which is just a horrendous way of going about player trading.
Scattered throughout each zone in TESO, there is a wide variety of small dungeons scaled in difficulty for 1-2 players as well as one public dungeon that is scaled for 2-4 players in total. These dungeons, albeit rather small, create a fun distraction from the general questing.
I found mini dungeons to be very easy, as I could solo them without any troubles, though some of the boss fights could prove difficult to a lower skilled player. They mostly have one quest sending the player on their path and include one Skyshard, so there is added incentive to go there. Unfortunately, most of these dungeons in a specific area are so small that they only take around 5, maybe 10 minutes to clear, sending the player back to general questing afterwards.
Public Dungeons are significantly more difficult than the mini dungeons encountered throughout the area. The theme of the singular public dungeon correlates with the area it is found in, with a quest relating to the dungeon, at the very least one Skyshard and a group challenge in the form of a boss encounter.
These boss encounters are triggered by actions from the players, such as killing all the skeletons in a crypt and deliver a much bigger challenge where most of the time I needed at least 2 other players in order to slay the boss. When the boss is slain, the challenge is completed and players that damaged the boss will be awarded with an all important skill point..
Sometimes during a mini dungeon you will find a puzzle. These puzzles are not extremely difficult, but they did make me stop and think for a few minutes from time to time, which was a breath of fresh air during the standard MMO leveling grind. The puzzles reward players with a chest or some great level appropriate loot, which is all the more incentive to try and figure them out.
Both the mini dungeons and public dungeons are open to all players, so at any given time there could be 10 or more players running around these little crypts, which makes it feel a bit overcrowded. Added to that is the problem of players camping boss spawns to farm loot, so even though they are meant as a fun little dungeon romp, it quickly became a tedious process waiting for the boss or monsters to respawn, which is a letdown seeing as the of these small dungeons was actually really good.
The central province of Tamriel called Cyrodiil is the place in TESO where all the PvP takes place and it is in my opinion by far the best part of the game, the crowning achievement of an otherwise average MMO.
The three factions fight for control over the Elder Scrolls in an all out alliance war, where large scale PvP battles and sieges are the name of the game. The idea of Cyrodiil is quite simple; there are 18 Keeps, the 6 inner ones being contested on a daily basis.
There are a wealth of other points, for example lumber mills, mines or farms to control or take over, which add benefits to the factions holding them. During my time in Cyrodiil, which is around 10 hours and counting, I experienced some of the most epic large scale battles of my gaming career, and surprisingly the game handled large scale battles exceptionally well, as I did not experience large drops in my frame rate.
Swords clash, balls of fire rain destruction from catapults while trebuchets fire projectiles into walls of keeps, all while players try to defend or capture a point slaying their enemy in great numbers. All these actions reward Alliance Points (AP) as currency, which can be used to buy a variety of gear as well as items to help your allies such as siege weapons and aid stations so that players can spawn closer to battle.
Being involved in kills reward more AP than taking over a strategic point. This is done to stop Keep swapping between alliances and gives players more incentive to fight, though getting players to stop fighting in a large pile somewhere on the map and rather going for strategic points became difficult during a few hours of play.
Cyrodiil is home to many of the exact same features found in regular zones, such as dungeons, quest hubs and a plethora of Skyshards to collect. The quests are not story driven such as in the open world, as they come in a repeatable form and are highly rewarding to players who manage to complete them, killing 20 enemy players as an example gave me a large chunk of alliance points and a lot more experience that I would receive during a standard quest chain outside of Cyrodiil. These quests also add strategic objectives and steers even the most unreliable or new player in the right direction, which is a great way of teaching players how to behave in the zone.
Within the frantic large scale battles, the ability to block does not really come into play all that much, as blocking would only stop one blow anyway, so with three players around you it is pretty pointless. When first joining the alliance war at level 10, which is the minimum level of entry, I could not fathom how PvP could be fun with the combat system in place, but it actually works out really well, delivering a fun and engaging experience as I charged into battle, slashing about and dying horribly to an onslaught of foes. The PvP is not without one large flaw, namely scaling. Players are supposed to be on relatively equal footing within Cyrodiil, as they are being scaled up to level 50 for the battles. Unfortunately, that is not the case, as a level 40 players can destroy a level 30 player in a few blows for example, so the game does not create even close to an equal playing field.
TESO has disappointed me with a combat system that tries to do too much and only achieves to frustrate because of latency issues common in every single MMO and an unnecessary blocking system which fails to impress. Combat and movement is the most important part of any MMO for me and therefore it is very unfortunate that this is the one aspect where TESO truly falls flat on its face.
A complex character progression and crafting system that rely too heavily on farming Skyshards is still passable as decent systems, though both have their flaws. The saving grace for TESO is the glorious large scale PvP battles that work so well and are so much fun to play that I might just continue my way to level 50 just by doing PvP.
After just over 60 hours of gameplay, I can not help but feel as if TESO is one massive grind covered in a few complex systems, with the exception of PvP. In my final part of the review I will take a look at veteran dungeons and the first adventure zone aimed at endgame players that has yet to be released. After experiencing everything except endgame content, I feel confident in given TESO outside of endgame a provisional review score.
Score: 7/10

A mendicant is a travelling monk — one who begs for subsistence, accepting what people and to world have to offer, in humility. The music on this double album could be a distillation of the world experienced in such a way: a flowing by of landscapes and visions, an endless sequence of steps carrying one to some unknown destination. This is the final act of begging and acceptance: to see where the journey leads you, always deferring to decisions made outside of the self; offering up the self. Raising Holy Sparks is the project that rose from the ashes of Agitated Radio Pilot and saw David Colohan shifting from lo-fi and singer/songwriter releases to something more instrumental, raw, and abstract. The division is far from clear-cut: Agitated Radio Pilot had its share of lush ambient improvisations, and the occasional harsh guitar solo, while Raising Holy Sparks has had plenty of songs interspersed on its earlier releases. All the same, there is a tangible contrast between the two projects. […read more…]

In my 2012 review of The Cloisters, I had written about how the imagined landscape (Britain, in these cases) features so strongly in some strains of contemporary experimental folk music. Granted, this has been a central theme in folk since the 60s revival, but as I argue, the ease with which electronic manipulation can be applied these days has really influenced some of the more experimental folk works in the past decade or so. This heightened interplay of the 'acoustic' and electronic, and in a broader sense, between the rural and the urban, makes for a liminal artistic and imaginary field that is finding different forms of expression these days.

Local business leaders call on Sen. Durbin to lead immigration reform
Published on Thu, Mar 11, 2010
A group of business owners from the Northwest suburbs has called on Sen. Dick Durbin to lead Congress in reforming the country's immigration system, which they said could be the "recipe" needed to stimulate the country's struggling economy.
About half dozen business people spoke during a news conference Thursday at the La Quebrada Banquet Hall in Elgin, sponsored by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights.
"We thank Sen. Durbin for being a supporter of immigration reform, but we want him to be a leader," said Jose Figueroa of Vista Insurance Agency in Rolling Meadows.

Ivory Coast v Togo Odds: Didier Drogba heads the goalscorer betting markets
Pre-tournament favourites Ivory Coast get their 2013 African Cup of Nations campaign underway as they take on Togo in South Africa on Tuesday afternoon. The match marks the teams' opening game in Group D of the tournament and it is no surprise to see that the Ivory Coast start as long odds on favourites.
The Ivorians are currently 1/3 on to win the match with Ladbrokes, although they have rarely done things the easy way in this competition and Togo can be backed at 8/1 to cause a shock by winning or 4/1 to draw. It is imperative for Ivory Coast that they get off to a good start this week as they look to finally justify the bookmakers' favouritism.
They have started favourites for each of the last four African Cup of Nations renewals but they have fallen short each time as they have been knocked out at the quarter-final stage once, in the semi-finals twice and most agonisingly in last year's final when they were stunned by Zambia on penalties.
This year's tournament represents a final chance for many of their stellar squad, including six Premier League players, to make their mark on this competition and hand Ivory Coast their first African Nations title since 1992. One man in particular will be desperate to make his mark as former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is set to make his final appearance in the ACON.
Drogba is currently plying his trade in China with Shanghai, where he has scored eight goals in 11 league games, and the big striker is familiar with fairytale goodbyes. Drogba went out in a blaze of glory from Chelsea last year as he helped them win the Champions League and he will be looking to do something similar for his country in South Africa. Drogba, who has scored 56 goals in 89 international appearances, dominates the goalscorer betting markets for Tuesday as he is 11/4 favourite to score first and he is as short as 8/1 to score a hat-trick.
Drogba will be keen for his side to make up for last year's disappointing defeat to Zambia and they have responded in impressive fashion by going on a seven-match unbeaten run. They qualified for this tournament with victory over Senegal, although the second leg of their qualifying tie was abandoned due to riots.
They have only kept one clean sheet in their last five though and both teams to score looks a decent punt at 7/4 in the latest betting with Ladbrokes. There looks to be the potential for a few goals as an exciting Ivory Coast line-up take on a shaky looking Togo defence and over 3.5 goals is an 11/4 punt. Togo make their much-anticipated return after a two-year absence and they aren't short of attacking talent in their current squad either.
They endured a tough build-up to this event but Emmanuel Adebayor, who is their all-time top scorer with 26 goals, has been convinced to take his place in South Africa. The Tottenham striker is 10/1 to score first this week and he will bid to help his side extend a run that has seen them lose just one of their last six, albeit against limited opposition.
Togo might find that they come up short against an Ivory Coast side with a point to prove and the tournament favourites are fancied to get off to a winning start. Ivory Coast are 10/11 to win with a -1 goal handicap as Drogba looks to begin his farewell in style.

Tip #2: Both teams to score @ 7/4 with Ladbrokes.

Copa Libertadores final: Olimpia defy odds to lead cup final
Players come and players go - especially in South America, where the constant selling means that teams are constantly rebuilding. Even so, it is still possible for clubs to preserve an identity, with lasting characteristics.
Take Olimpia of Paraguay, currently contesting the final of the Copa Libertadores with Atletico Mineiro of Brazil. There really should only be one winner. Olimpia's entire wage bill would struggle to pay Ronaldinho, Atletico's star - let alone a supporting cast which includes new sensation Bernard, Jo from the Confederations Cup squad, former World Cup winner Gilberto Silva and a number of other big names.
In financial terms it should be a walkover, especially as Olimpia are deep in crisis. Their players recently went months without being paid, and they were forced to sell captain and best player Richard Ortiz before the Libertadores semi-finals in order to receive a short-term injection of cash.
Before the tournament no-one gave Olimpia a hope. Of Paraguay's three sides, they looked by some distance the weakest. Libertad, quarter-finalists in each of the previous three years, looked far stronger - and started off like a train before suddenly imploding.
Cerro Porteno appeared to have a squad every bit as impressive as the one which reached the 2011 semi-finals - but they started badly and got worse. Olimpia had done nothing in the competition for a decade. Their domestic form was average - they had to go through the qualifying round to make it to the group phase. There was no indication that they could be title challengers.
But there is one thing the club possesses in spades - tradition. They have won the Libertadores three times - only four clubs have more titles to their name. It gives them a certain mystique.
In last Wednesday's first leg of the final they were a goal up in front of their own fans going into second-half stoppage time. They won a free-kick on the edge of the area. Bruno Pont, match commentator for a local station, told his listeners to "turn up your radio like you want to scream". Little playmaker Wilson Pittoni dinked over the wall. Atletico's Alecsandro read his intentions, and back-pedalled furiously to cover the near post - but he could not get enough height to block the chip, and all he did was get in the way of goalkeeper Victor.
As the ball nestled in the back of the net, Bruno Pont let rip. "Olimpia!" he screamed over and over, throwing in a swearword for extra emphasis. "When they began their Libertadores campaign, who said that Olimpia could win their fourth title? And it's so close, my God! How big you are, Olimpia! How much pride you give Paraguay!"
Olimpia coach Ever Almeida, a club legend as their former goalkeeper, is not thrilled that their first-leg lead is being attributed mainly to the force of tradition. "We won with football," he said, "and not because of the importance of our shirt."
He has a point. Olimpia are sitting pretty in the final entirely on merit. They have scored plenty of goals all through the campaign. One of their strengths is the way that Almeida can tweak the system every time the team is in need of a goal.
And against the firepower of Brazilian opponents he can also tweak his defence - last week, just as in the home leg of the quarter-final against Fluminense, he traded his usual three centre-back formation for the extra defensive solidity of a back four. His side can defend with discipline, and attack with pace and purpose.
Uruguayan keeper Martin Silva has had an excellent campaign. And his compatriot and namesake Alejandro Silva is an interesting, versatile player who opened the scoring last week with a Gareth Bale-style goal. But there are not too many world beaters in the Olimpia squad. The one real prospect was Richard Ortiz - who, as we have seen, was sold to help balance the books. The players at Almeida's disposal are mostly journeymen.
And so here is the key question. Would such a team be in contention for the title if they were wearing another shirt? Because it is undeniable that part of the force of Olimpia's progress comes from the club's past.
Those titles, the proud nickname of 'the cup kings,' the expectation of success that is transmitted from the terraces - in some cases this can intimidate teams and cause them to buckle under the pressure. In others it can inspire - the past sets up a vision of what is possible, which the players then strive to emulate in the present. This would seem to be the case of Olimpia in 2013.
Of course, the title is not theirs yet - not by a long way. The away goals rule is not in operation in the final. Atletico have 90 minutes to chase a two-goal deficit, with extra-time should aggregate scores be level.
Ronaldinho surely cannot give a performance as appalling as last week's, when he was hauled off early in the second half. Bernard is back from suspension. The Mineirao stadium in Belo Horizonte will be heaving for the biggest night in Atletico's history.
Olimpia's chances are probably no better than 50-50. But whatever happens on Wednesday night, to have overcome such obstacles and lived up to the club's tradition in such style makes Olimpia the stand-out story of the 2013 Copa Libertadores.
Comments on the piece in the space provided. Questions on South American football to email@example.com, and I'll pick out a couple for next week.
From last week's postbag:
Q. My question concerns the transfer speculation surrounding Eduardo Vargas to my club Middlesbrough. I didn't manage to catch him and his performances for Universidad de Chile, but after his initial unsuccessful spell at Napoli I've seen him for Gremio and was impressed. Seems like his pace and skill would be an asset and I think at the Championship level he could be a success, and if he does well could have a decent re-sell value. Interested to see what your take on the player is and whether it's likely he could come to the Boro and if he could succeed.
Liam Frank
A. He certainly is a quality player. Two years ago he was tearing defences apart every week for Universidad de Chile. I'm a bit mystified by his failure to settle at Napoli - though he can be hot headed and petulant on the pitch, so perhaps he lacked the necessary maturity. He's still under contract with them, and is with Gremio on loan. Now Napoli have a Spanish-speaking coach, Rafa Benitez, it wouldn't be a surprise if they think he's worth another try.
In terms of a move to Middlesbrough, then, I wouldn't hold your breath on this one - I really don't think it's likely that he'd want to drop out of a first division, whether it is England or anywhere else.

That moment late in a game, when you beseech the gods to give you a goal. And then the ball hits the back of the net!
I'm just surprised more commentators don't swear
Obviously, it's great for football, and South American football in particular, if Olimpia can hold out for the win. I am not an expert on this team from Paraguay but I can only assume there success is built on playing as a team

Cool. One of the big advantages of DBP is no character limits or 10 minute delays between posts, so you can actually have proper conversations with people.
As a guest, you can't view the whole site, but can see enough to get a flavour.
The majority of members are British, so discussions tend to focus on British & European football. Would be great to be able to broaden our horizons :-)

TBF - they are showing the Women's Euros on BBC3, which probably cost them 20-30 quid, so the budget won't stretch much further.
They've already had to move from London to Salford for cheaper rents, although increased security costs for the car park :-). Times are tight don't you know, especially with a new addition to the Royal Family to drain the country's resources

Comment number 71. Posted by SLahayeon 23 Jul 2013 19:45
Apart from Ale Silva and maybe Enzo Prono, I don't think any of the Olimpia players have any chance of a career in Europe. Most of the players are already in their late 20s or early 30s. Richard Ortiz could have moved to Europe, but had his leg broken by Antonio Valencia so that put an end to interest from Italy.
Comment number 70. Posted by cmg08on 23 Jul 2013 18:47
I am not atleticano and I am neutral so I have to admit Cruzeiro has a much richer history when it comes to Libertadores.
Lights out is an unfortunate habit of BR football, which is not out of the law but it's not ethical either. Makes it very hard to know when it is a genuine failure but almost never is.
However, Brazilian clubs opponents also have a rich repertoire of their own, my point.
Comment number 69. Posted by didou_sait_touton 23 Jul 2013 18:37
I think Atletico has their work cut out for them on Wednesday night. Tim is right, Olimpia will try to mark tightly and defend vigorously. I think the key will be Bernard. He and Ronaldinho connect very well. But Bernard also has the ability to deliver precision crosses into the box - all the more important since Marcos Rocha is suspended.
Comment number 68. Posted by BH_blueon 23 Jul 2013 17:11
I was simply agreeing that there are "several factors that go beyond player quality".
And I think it's obvious that something dubious was occurring during that game no matter who you support! (Except unless you're a deluded atléticano I guess)
Comment number 67. Posted by cmg08on 23 Jul 2013 15:27
When you say "this is true" I am really unsure that you agree with what I said about Veron's elbow and Estudiantes typical antics, or if you are more worried with pulling Atletico's leg. Which goes a long way showing why Brazilian football will keep on being subjected to our neighbours delight, in the name of a so-called "rivalry".
I do not see Cruzeiro winning in any way if Atletico loses.
Comment number 66. Posted by BH_blueon 23 Jul 2013 15:01
@65 this is true. There is also "technical" problems, such as floodlights conveniently turning off, allowing a team 10 minutes from going out to regroup and turn the game around in their home ground.
More commonly known as "buying the game".
Comment number 65. Posted by cmg08on 23 Jul 2013 14:55
In perfect, fair, ideal conditions, maybe the argument of BR clubs being economically stronger would stand. But Libertadores is not about that: there is altitude, pitches, dressing rooms, refereeing, political interests, several factors that go beyond player quality discussion. In "doubt", SA referees wont assign fouls or punish aggressors, a "poetic" means of unoffsetting economic unbalance.

Both Roche and Novartis are based in Basel in north-western Switzerland.Asked whether Novartis could sell its stake in Roche that was built up under his predecessor Daniel Vasella, Reinhardt said: "The shares are in good hands with us. For as long as Roche does well, we take pleasure in them."Novartis holds a third of Roche's bearer shares <RO.S>.In October, Roche Chief Executive Severin Schwan also knocked back speculation that the company could merge with Novartis.Reinhardt said in the interview Novartis hoped to conclude an ongoing review of its over-the-counter drugs, animal health and vaccines businesses by the end of the year."Then we will know if and how we have to change our structure and organization," he said, adding discussions on possible buys or divestments were under way with partners."There are not many players and everybody talks to everybody," he said.Novartis said in January it was looking at options for the three businesses and wanted the review to be completed by the end of summer.Reinhardt said Novartis' profitability was only temporarily under pressure due to quality issues in the U.S. and Canada, the fact that the vaccines division was not profitable and falling sales of its former blockbuster Diovan."Our profitability will rise again," he said, without giving details.(Reporting by Silke Koltrowitz; editing by Jason Neely)

Utica family experiencing hardships receives new, free roof
By Sarah Wojcik
September 30, 2013
UTICA — Rob and Judy Urbin have known each other since they were 7 years old, growing up across the street from each other in Detroit. They had a crush on each other by age 10 and were married when they were 25. Now, at age 59, their lives have been turned upside down multiple times.
The couple said their biggest hardship was when their middle daughter, Haley, passed away in 2003 at the age of 15 after being struck by a car.
"That was a very difficult thing. It remains that way to this day and changes your life and makes it challenging on a day-to-day basis, but you can't let the sorrow of that loss overwhelm you," Rob said. "Mostly, we celebrate her and choose to be grateful for her and stay in a positive mindset."
Rob has been through some medical issues that left him unable to work his job at the U.S. Postal Service since August 2011. He said he wishes to return to work but has been in physical therapy for two years for ongoing problems, and it is unclear whether he will be able to return.
In January, Judy was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and is also unable to work her longtime job as a nurse at the Henry Ford Medical Center while undergoing chemotherapy.
"I'm grateful that my wife has such a great attitude, because if she didn't, I would be lost without her," Rob said. "She really has a great way about her, and it makes a great difference around the house."
With medical expenses, the couple would not be able to afford a new roof.
They won their roof from a nationwide program called No Roof Left Behind that provides contractors with resources to give a free roof to a deserving local homeowner. The Urbins were nominated by Judy's childhood friend Kathleen McArthur, of Sterling Heights, and won an online contest with 800 votes. Ridgecon Construction in Shelby Township built the new roof Sept. 28.
"Our roof is 23 years old. It definitely has got some soft wood underneath the shingles and leaks, so it's something we needed very soon," Judy said, adding that her parents used to own the house in 1975; she and her husband bought it in 1989.
She said the roof has been a great way to stay positive.
"It means a great deal to us — not just the fact that we need a new roof, but it's very encouraging how kind people can be — all the people who voted for us," Judy said. "This blessing came through the community."
McArthur, who met Judy in third grade and is also a nurse, said the couple generated a $1,000 scholarship — using donations received after their daughter's death, as well as personal funds — for a graduating Utica High School senior in Haley's name.
"They're wonderful, caring, and they have given so much throughout the year with their concern and love and giving," McArthur said. "Finally, they're getting something back and, hopefully, this will be the start of a new beginning for them. Judy is finishing up her chemotherapy, and they have a lot to live for and look forward to."
The couple is excited for a roof with a 50-year warranty and high-grade materials, which will increase the value of their home.
"We'll always remember the day we got our roof," Judy said. "For us, I'll always be reminded if we want to see an answer to prayer, just look up and see the roof."

US: Kellogg co-operating with safety probe after worker dies
By Katy Askew | 10 July 2014
Kellogg worker dies following work related accident
Kellogg is cooperating with a US Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OHSA) probe following the death of an employee after an accident at its manufacturing facility in Augusta, Georgia.
The OHSA is the federal body responsible for the enforcement of health and safety legislation.
Kellogg said it is assisting the OHSA with its investigation into the incident. "We are working with OSHA in their investigation of the situation," a spokesperson for the group told just-food.
"Last month, a colleague at our Augusta facility was involved in a work-related incident. Sadly, we have learned that he has since passed. We are extremely saddened by the passing of our colleague and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time," the spokesperson said.
Local reports suggest the employee fell from a ladder. Kellogg said the cause of death is yet to be confirmed. "Our understanding is that at this time, the cause of death has not yet been determined," the spokesperson added.

2006 Audi S4 Problems
Our technicians recommend having the constant velocity (CV) boots and CV joints inspected at each service. Servicing torn CV boots early can prevent the need to replace the CV half shaft or CV joint.
Various bushings—located around the subframe, suspension, and steering—deteriorate with age. A clunking noise when driving over bumps, accelerating, or stopping may be a sign of worn bushings.
A problem with the torque converter can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate.

I purchased my first amazing Audi S4 new in July of 2006. My S4 came with the tiptronic automatic transmission. I drove this excellent car for 148,844 miles.

In the Netherlands agents and subagents are growing in influence; in Spain the poor economy has led publishers to experiment with formats and price points.
Bookstore Marketing Promotions Spread Across Europe
