Deputies seek help in identifying suspects
Deputies say 2 men exited vehicle, chased woman
Deputies are asking for the public's help in identifying two people who approached a woman while she was jogging Tuesday in Kissimmee.
On Tuesday, Osceola County Sheriff's deputies say they responded to the incident at 3809 Golden Knot Drive.
Upon arrival, deputies spoke with the woman who indicated she was jogging on Bellalago Drive South when two Hispanic males approached her in a dark blue pickup truck.
Deputies said the passenger exited the vehicle and chased the woman.
The woman described one of the men as a Hispanic male, approximately 5-foot 7-inches to 5-foot 11-inches with a medium build. The man has dark hair and dark eyes, and was wearing a long-sleeve tan or brown shirt with dark pants and a green or yellow reflective vest.
The driver of the pickup truck was described by the woman as a Hispanic male with very dark skin, a slender face and dark hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Osceola County Sheriff's Office at 407-348-2222 or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS (8477).
Deputies say calls made to Crimeline remain anonymous, and tips that lead to the felony arrest of suspects and/or the recovery of stolen property and drugs are eligible for cash rewards of up to $1,000 dollars.

Regional Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in Manufacturing Industry
Since China opened its economy to foreign investment in 1979, it has become the second largest Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) destination in the world after the USA. Over the past three decades, the manufacturing sector has dominated China's FDI inflow, however, when manufacturing activity is bifurcated into low and high technology classes, it becomes evident that China is in a transition stage, moving from FDI in traditional low-tech manufacturing activity to a high-tech manufacturing environment. This paper attempts to analyse the key determinants of FDI inflow across low and high technology manufacturing industry across the four geographical regions of China. In the paper we empirically investigate the determinants of FDI inflows to both high and low-tech manufacturing industries by market size, labor cost, labor quality, and government spending on human capita.

A $4.2 million upgrade at the Stream Global Services call center on Arsenal Street will get financial support from three local economic development funding agencies for its project, which will accommodate the hiring of 300 employees and the addition of a major customer contract.
The renovations will be completed in phases within the footprint of the call center building, mainly with a new configuration of employee cubicles in the building at 146 Arsenal St.
They want to accommodate the additional work force for more people in the future, said Donald W. Rutherford, CEO of the Watertown Local Development Corp.
The project came up during Thursday mornings WLDC meeting, as the agency, also known as the Watertown Trust, discussed a $250,000 loan to Stream.
The WLDC board unanimously approved the five-year loan with a 5 percent fixed interest rate. The Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency and the Development Authority of the North Country each are expected to lend the company $250,000. The firms parent company, Stream Global Services, is the guarantor for the loans.
The project is also in line for a $1 million grant from the Empire State Development Corp. and a $564,000 grant from JCIDA, in addition to a series of other public financing. The company intends to kick in $1.2 million in equity.
Before the vote, Mr. Rutherford told the board he was satisfied with the parent companys financial performance.
The brunt of the project involves the purchase of new equipment, furniture and computers, according to documents in the citys code enforcement office. It also includes a new employee cafeteria, main lobby area, restrooms, carpeting and painting, said Joseph Thornton, Streams senior director of brand names.
The upgrades are prompted partly by a new customer contract. Mr. Thornton would not identify the new customer, except to say it involves a leading company in telecommunications.
We will be supporting hardware products for this telecom provider through Watertown, Mr. Thornton said.
The first phase of the project will be completed within the next week. The remainder will be finished later this year.
Recently, Stream Global Services hired about 200 workers and the upgrades eventually could accommodate a total of 1,000. About 700 people work there. The company continues to hire for many positions.
With similar renovation projects planned at other sites, the Watertown facility is among the first to be completed, company officials said.
Working in cubicles at the 76,000-square-foot facility, employees provide round-the-clock technical assistance for customers on behalf of national companies in a diverse mix of industries: telecommunications, entertainment, software networking, insurance and business-to-business cloud computing.
Employees, who answer a collective 30,000 calls in the course of each day, help customers solve problems relating to movie rentals, haircuts, GPS units, satellite radio and life insurance.
JCIDA owns the buildings upper floor and leases it back to Stream. Local businessman Brian H. Murray purchased the lower story, at the buildings rear, last year. It houses several businesses in a strip mall.
JCIDA officials plan to meet with Mr. Murray to discuss the impact the project will have on his portion of the building and the common areas they share, said Donald C. Alexander, CEO of JCIDA.
Stream Global Services, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, set up shop in the renovated former F.W. Woolworth department store in January 2003. The U.S. company has about 50 call centers around the globe and is a Fortune 500 company.

Business services crucial for keeping Europe's industry fit Zveřejněno:: 09/04/2014, Poslední aktualizace: 30/06/2015
European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani responsible for Enterprise and Industry policy said: "Business services in Europe have a significant untapped growth potential, especially in terms of productivity and innovation uptake. The Group's Report has put the spotlight on the important role that business services play for the European economy. It demonstrates that high performing business services are crucial for our economic value chains and hence European competitiveness."
The importance of Business Services should be adequately reflected in the Europe 2020 Strategy according to a report of the High Level Group on Business Services.
The group was launched by Vice-President Tajani and Commissioner Barnier in March 2013 to help define a European policy agenda for this important sector. Business services are services provided by businesses to other businesses. Typical examples include: management consultancies and legal services, design, engineering and technical maintenance services, recruitment, security and industrial cleaning. Business services are an integrated part of our industrial value chains and essential for European competitiveness, a strong Single Market and an industrial renaissance. The High level Group chaired by Professor Carlo Secchi of the Bocconi University was set up in order to study the shortcomings existing in this sector and help policy makers better understand the current challenges. The Group recommends actions along several lines. In addition to prioritising business services in the Europe 2020 strategy, these include the completion of the Single Market for services, seizing the international opportunities and developing the right skills and technological infrastructure needed by European companies. The recommendations are issued to the Commission, but also to Member States and industry (for the full recommendations, please see MEMO/14/265).

Higher dimensions on DVD
An excellent series of nine films taking you into the fourth dimension is now freely available online and cheaply available on DVD. Using superb graphics and clear, concise, no-frills presentation, the series starts with a very basic introduction to projections, then steps from two dimensions up into three and then four, and ends up with some quite sophisticated - and very pretty - geometric objects and concepts. Everyone, from complete novice to university students, will find something interesting in this series, and at 13 minutes length each, the films are a great resource for the class room. The website contains detailed background info on each episode. Go have a look, it's well worth it!

Maths on telly and radio
BBC Four will launch a new three-part TV series on maths at 9pm this coming Monday the 6th of October. In The story of maths Marcus du Sautoy, Oxford mathematician and one of the UK's finest maths popularisers, describes the often surprising lives of the great mathematicians, explains the development of the key mathematical ideas and shows how — in a multitude of unusual ways — those ideas underpin the science, technology and culture that shape our world. The first episode will look at the contributions from the ancient Greeks.
To get you into the mood, have a look at du Sautoy's Plus articles The prime number lottery, The music of the primes, and Beckham in his prime number.
If you prefer the radio, then tune into BBC Radio 4's In our time on Thursday the 9th of October at 9am and again at 9.30pm. Melvyn Bragg together with experts including John D Barrow will discuss Gödel's infamous incompleteness theorem.

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag! Joyeux Anniversaire! Suk San Wan Keut! Sun Yat Fai Lok! Hartelijk gefeliciteerd! Felichan Naskightagon! And Happy Birthday to Google in the other 93-plus languages it speaks!
As the web search engine Google celebrates its 10th birthday it is hard to imagine life online without it. It has become such an indispensable tool that we don't just search for something any more, we "google" it, as recognised by the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006. What many people don't realise is that Google's rise to become one of the most successful search engines on the web today is due to the mathematical algorithm PageRank, devised by Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page, the founders of Google. This algorithm not only decides which webpages match your search criteria (which all search engines do), but also which are more important and returns these at the top of the results.Read more...

More evidence of the intrinsic beauty of maths, this time shown in a lovely slideshow from the BBC, narrated by mathematician Lasse Rempe from the University of Liverpool.
Rempe works in the area of dynamical systems: systems that change over time and can be found everywhere from the stockmarket to the weather. In the slideshow, he explains how dynamical systems can be generated from very simple polynomials yet produce extremely complex behaviour, and how these systems can be graphically represented by such beautiful images.
As John Barrow told us in our first image-enhanced Plus podcast Cosmic Imagery, mathematical images such as these have actually been responsible for changing science and how we see the world around us . So sit back with your coffee and enjoy the shows!

...and yesterday was brought to you by the number 54, thanks to the Mathematical Association of America's NumberADay blog. Every working day they post a number and a biography of its interesting properties.
Today's number 11,185,272 is the number of decimal digits in the 46th known Mersenne prime, discovered on Sept. 6, 2008 (you can read more in Prime record broken? on Plus).
54 might seems less significant, but in fact thanks to the MAA Plus now knows that it is the smallest number that can be written as the sum of 3 squares in 3 ways, the number of colored squares on a Rubik's cube, and is a nonadecagonal (19-gonal) number!

It's lunchtime, and I'm waiting in the cafe queue to buy a sandwich along with everyone else. What a lot of sandwiches... Imagine if everyone piled their sandwiches one on top of another... I wonder how high the mighty tower of sandwiches might be? Let's see... 60 million people in the UK, say 1 in 8 is having a sandwich right now, each sandwich might be about 3cm thick including filing, so that's... over 200km high!
You might say I'm thinking too much about sandwiches, but I'm actually exercising my number sense. Which, along with allowing me to make quick guesses about how big things are or how many there might be, also might be helping me get better at calculus and algebra. Researchers Michèle Mazzocco, Lisa Feigenson and Justin Halberda, from John Hopkins University, have shown that being good at formal mathematics is linked to having a good innate number sense. See, I'm not waiting in the sandwich queue, I'm studying!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Gold futures settled with a loss Friday, pressured by strength in the dollar, but prices scored a gain for the week as investors mulled recent data from China and the U.S. for signs of investor demand.
Silver prices, meanwhile, posted the biggest gain for the week among major metals, up 5%. The U.S. Mint said it sold out of certain silver bullion coins as investors bet on higher demand for the industrial metal.
Gold for February delivery US:GCG3 slipped $3.80, or 0.2%, to settle at $1,687 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract was 1.6% higher for the week.
China's economic comeback
Data show gross domestic product rose 7.9% in the fourth quarter from the final three months of 2011. How the No. 2 global economy rebounded back after a two-year slowdown.
A higher weekly close "may embolden gold bulls who are expected to come back into the market," said Mark O'Byrne, research director at GoldCore.
"Similarly, the surge in silver prices this week could lead to follow through technical buying next week," he said.
March silver US:SIH3 closed up 12 cents, or 0.4%, at $31.93 an ounce. It finished last week at $30.41.
Investors gauged the outlook for gold demand against a backdrop of a stronger dollar, which tends to put pressure on commodities denominated in the U.S. currency, including gold.
The ICE dollar index DXY, -0.11% stood at 79.994, up from 79.691 late Thursday.
"Aside from the fact that gold has previously failed several time as it approached resistance in the $1,690-$1,700 area, the pattern today also shows pre-weekend book-squaring/profit-taking ... and the inescapable reality that a ... surge in the U.S. dollar cannot but have an effect on its 'counterpart' — gold," said Jon Nadler, senior analyst at Kitco Metals.
Comex floor trading will be closed Monday for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Data Friday from China, the world's second-largest gold consumer, showed that gross domestic product grew 7.9% in the fourth quarter compared to a year earlier, topping economists' forecasts and reinforcing expectations the No. 2 global economy is set to pick up steam. See: China's economy grows more than expected.
In the U.S., preliminary data showed that consumer sentiment declined more than expected in January. See: Consumer sentiment declines in January.
Gold settled at $1,690.80 an ounce on Thursday, its highest settlement since Dec. 17. The yellow metal was buoyed after the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's regional manufacturing gauge left some investors disappointed, indicating some haven-related buying interest.

Macroeconomics is in the news every day. Anyone who has paid attention to the news knows that the recent fall in the US housing market has caused dramatic perturbations to financial markets all around the world. This in turn has triggered very strong responses by governments in the US (in particular the Federal Reserve and the Treasury), as well as in other countries. This meltdown in financial markets and the interventions from policy makers raise a number of key questions about the health and the future of the economy in the US and abroad, which we will address in the Global Economic Environment II course.
This course is a sequel to the core course Global Economic Environment I. Building on the fundamentals introduced in that course, we develop a conceptual framework to explain business cycle fluctuations and their implications for financial markets. In particular, we examine macroeconomic forecasting, determinants and implications of budget deficits, the conduct and implementation of monetary policy, and the determinants of inflation in the U.S. and other market economies around the world. Special attention is given to the interactions between macroeconomic forces and financial markets. Since an important goal of this course is for students to become informed and sophisticated consumers of economic news, the issues discussed in this course draw heavily from current events and real-world examples.
For students who want to take the course "Financial Markets And The Economy" (B8351), it is strongly recommended that they take GEE II either prior to or concurrently with that course. In future terms, GEE II will be a required prerequisite or corequisite for B8351.

The Section 8 Chicago Annual General Meeting is set for this Saturday, January 26 at 1pm in the Stadium Club at Toyota Park.
Open to ALL FIRE FANS, the AGM serves as a way for the Independent Supporters Association to discuss the past year and ftuture plans for supporter's culture. Its also when the ISA elects its board members for the coming year.
Along with the supporters activities, this year Chicago Fire Chief Operating Officer Atul Khosla will hold a Q&A session with those in attendance and you never know when someone from the first team may do a live look-in from Ave Maria, Fla...
Don't have a ride from the city? The ISA will be running a bus from Cleo's Chicago (1935 W. Chicago). Stay tuned to Section8Chicago.com or follow them on Twitter (@Section8Chicago) for more details in the coming days.
Prior to departing for Ave Maria, Fla. Fire Strength and Conditioning coach Tony Jouaux, with help from staff at the University of Illinois-Chicago's Human Performance Lab, put the team through the paces with the VO2 Max Fitness test.
What is the VO2 Max? Well, it tests the maximum capacity of an individual's body to transport and use oxygen during incremental exercise, which reflects the physical fitness of the individual.
Tony and some of the guys explain more in this video below but if you're wondering who the fittest guy on the team is, SPOILER ALERT, its Logan Pause.
Feelings on joining the Chicago Fire?
"I'm extremely delighted to be drafted by the Fire. I feel it's a golden opportunity for me to play under better conditions and show what I can do in MLS."
What are the strong suits of your game?
"I think my strengths are my speed, ability and technique. I feel like I have a lot to offer in those areas."
On coming from Cameroon…
"The training conditions I've had to play under in Cameroon aren't as good as in Chicago where they have top facilities and a great stadium. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to play in that stadium."
On youth international experiences with Cameroon U-20's
"I feel playing with the Cameroonian team at the U-20 World Cup raised my profile a bit and gave me something more to build towards. Representing your nation in a world championship is an amazing thing and I was very proud to play a part in all four games."
On his combine performance…
"I did feel that I had a strong combine. I came in off of an 18-hour flight and felt a little tired in the second half of games but I think I did very well to prove my abilities at the combine."
His thoughts on joining the Fire…
"I'm happy for a new challenge," Larentowicz told Chicago-Fire.com Wednesday night. "It feels good to go to a place where you're in the plans. Frank has been very forthright in coming after and it's something I look forward to being a part of."
On his contentious years against the Fire…
"In the past in my time in New England the Fire were always our biggest rivals. We were very similar, very competitive teams that were hard-nosed. Its just kind of the nature of things that both teams had wanted to win in the past but now I'm part of the Fire and I still have that same competitive spirit that's going to come and work for Chicago."
On competition in central midfield…
"I'll be competing for a spot and its an opportunity to come in and show that I deserve to be in the lineup and that's what I expect. I know those guys from playing against them – they're all good players and I look forward to competing for that spot."
On ability to stay fit throughout the years…
"The way I look at seasons and playing is the more time you can be available and give the coach the option of playing you, the better off you're going to be and the more opportunity for good things to happen. I think over the past seven years I've been able to do that."
On being part of championship teams in New England and Colorado…
"On all the teams I've been on it was never that they depended on me but it was more of a collective thing and the way I view how I play and what I try to do. The Fire are a playoff team and always in contention. I hope to add to that and be a piece that helps take the team to the next level."
In this edition of Burning Questions, we sat down with the Fire's second year midfielder/defender Tony Walls. Hailing from Wauwatosa, Wis., Tony was selected in the third round of the 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft after an impressive collegiate career at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay where he scored 18 goals and added 11 assists over 75 appearances.
The former Fire PDL player was one of only four players to start all 10 of the Fire's 2012 MLS Reserve League matches and featured in both of the Fire's international friendlies in 2012 against the English Premier League's Aston Villa FC and Liga MX side Club Santos Laguna. Tony recently took the time to answer our Burning Questions about the Walls family soccer dynasty, life in the rookie crib and his impeccable fashion sense.
Always on the Inside: Your sister Cara plays soccer at the University of Wisconsin. How do you feel about her following in your footsteps and how often do you get to see her play?
Tony Walls: It makes me really proud. I try to go up as often as I can. I think I caught about three games last year. She's doing really well. Last season they received an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament and she got second team All-Big Ten with 10 goals, so it makes me really proud to see my little sibling doing well.
AOTI: Last season you lived with fellow rookies Hunter Jumper and Austin Berry. Did you all split the housework? Did you have a chore chart?
TW: We split it, but we didn't have a chore chart. If something needed to be done, we just did it. We weren't too messy, we are all pretty reasonable. They were good roommates. They were respectful of my belongings and they're good guys, so we got along really well so it was a good situation.
AOTI: You cut off your 'dreads. What went into the decision to make the change and how long had you been considering it?
TW: I had been considering it for about three weeks. I went back to visit school and an old teammate cuts my hair, and I just thought it was time. They were too high maintenance and I had them for about four years so I figured I could use the change.
AOTI: How does it feel?
TW: It's a little cold. I have to get my winter hat selection out.
AOTI: Last book you read in its entirety?
TW: It's called "The Inheritance of Loss" by Kiran Desai. I would recommend it. It's good.
AOTI: Current celebrity crush?
TW: Alex Morgan.
AOTI: What fashion trend did you rock back in the day that you'd be embarrassed to wear now?
TW: Nothing. I've always been fashionable.
AOTI: What was the best part of being a Fire rookie?
TW: I think the team in general is a pretty tight-knit group. The older guys are really professional but at the same time they actually care about us as people, and we get along very well.
AOTI: [Tony was rockin' a UVA soccer shirt during the interview] You and Hunter recently traded T-shirts. Was it a two-way trade or was it a three-way trade with Austin? How did it go down?
TW: It was just the two of us. I think Austin was out of time at the time but we're definitely going to have to get him involved. I think I just said, "Yo, you want to trade T-shirts? I'll give you one of my Green Bay ones for one of your Virginia ones," and Hunter said, "Sure."
On Monday I wrote a piece with Wells Thompson reflecting on his experience of getting heckled by Fire fans at the 2007 MLS SuperDraft. Perhaps more importantly, we also talked about the experience and what it meant for him to get drafted.
Wells is a talker and gave some good answers to a few other questions I couldn't fit in the story. Those are below…
What advice would you give to the players that will be selected in Thursday's SuperDraft?
"What's so encouraging is when you look in the league and look at a lot of guys that have succeeded and done well – Jeff Larentowicz comes to mind because I played with him for so long in New England and Colorado. Chris Wondolowski is another name. They both came through the Supplemental Draft and have had fantastic careers. There are a lot of big names that have succeeded and done well in the league after being picked at that stage.
"When I look at my situation, I was very fortunate to be selected by New England. At the time they needed an outside midfielder and the coaches were keen on the type of player and person I was. To a certain extent, it doesn't matter where you get selected in the draft. When you go into training camp, everyone's pretty much starting in the same place. Everyone has a clean slate and it's up to you to prove your worth.
"The wisdom I could give kids is no matter where you're drafted, go in and work hard because there are so many success stories of guys that were taken very low or not taken at all that have gone on to do big things in MLS."
To go from a college player with few if any accolades to the fifth overall selection in the SuperDraft, you must have raised your stock at the MLS Combine. What are your thoughts on that event?
"Yeah I did okay but the combine is such a different thing. Guys are getting together for just a weekend without practice. It's not the fairest assessment of a player's talents in my opinion. Your college career is probably the best judgment still on how a player would do in the league.
"What you can take a lot from those combines is seeing guys that don't shy away from the big stage and wanting to continue to prove to coaches and other players that they do belong in the league. For me it was a confidence thing -- I went down to the combine and realized I was as good, if not better than a lot of these players and I think that confidence showed throughout that weekend."
...defender Carlos Bocanegra brings to end his four-year stay with the Chicago Fire by signing with English Premier club Fulham FC on this day in 2004.
Arguably the best defender in Chicago Fire history, Bocanegra was a two-time MLS Defender of the Year and League Best XI selection (2002, 2003) as well as being the first Fire player to claim MLS Rookie of the year in 2000 and helped the club to three domestic titles (2000, 2003 U.S. Open Cup, 2003 Supporters Shield) as well as an additional two finals appearances (2000, 2003 MLS Cup).
Bocanegra was one of just three defenders named to last year's #Fire15 player's list along with former teammats C.J. Brown and Lubos Kubik.
At the time of his Fire departure, Bocanegra had only just begun to break into Bruce Arena's U.S. Men's National Team squad, with the future captain scoring four goals in his first full campaign for the Stars and Stripes in 2003.
With the UCLA product proving his worth for both club and country, Fulham signed Bocanegra on a free transfer (in the same window that future Fire forward Brian McBride arrived at Craven Cottage) and the two formed the basis for a long-term American occupancy of the West London club.
He would parlay his form at Fulham into making the 2006 U.S. World Cup team and while his time there would come to an end, Bocanegra was eventually named as new U.S. captain when former Fire coach Bob Bradley took the national team reins in 2007.
Moving to a less traditional American soccer destination with French clubs Stade Rennes (2008-10), Bocanegra led the U.S. to the Round of 16 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa before moving to St. Etienne following the tournament.
A move to Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers would follow but after the side went into administration this past summer, whispers of the former Fire defender's MLS return could be heard league-wide before he eventually went on loan to Spanish Segunda side Racing Santander.
Having now a decade of national team experience under his belt, the 33-year-old center back sits tied with Paul Caligiuri for sixth all-time on the national appeance list at 110 and is has scored more international goals (14) than any defender in U.S. history.
With his time for the national team and career winding down, a return to MLS could still be in his future. Remember, returning to Chicago for a U.S. friendly vs. Poland in October 2010, Bocanegra was quoted as saying this…
"This is my first choice. You never know how it works with (Major League Soccer) and allocations, but I love this city. For me, it would be cool to play for one team my whole career in MLS. I would like to come back to Chicago."
WATCH: Bocanegra Named to #Fire15
This day in Fire history, the Men in Red reacquired midfielder Diego Gutierrez from the Kansas City Wizards in exchange for Will John.
Having already helped the club to three domestic titles (even scoring in MLS Cup '98), Gutierrez returned to the Fire in time to aid the team in winning its MLS-record fourth Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title later that season.
In contrast, John, who had only apppeared in nine competitive matches only played four more games for Kansas City that year.
Perhaps fittingly, the Colombian born midfielder sits eighth on the club's all competitions appearance list with 197 games played and fifth all-time in assists with 34 over his two stints (1998-2001, 2006-2008)
It was in his second tenure with the Fire where his for off-the-field contributions with the "Nothing but Nets" charity garnered him three straight Fire Humanitarian of the Year awards as well as the MLS award in 2007.
WATCH: Run to the 1998 MLS Cup
Ahead of the opening of the 2013 Combine on Friday, the SuperDraft "Big Boards" have begun to make their appearances.
MLSsoccer.com's Simon Borg, Matt Doyle and Jason Saghini ran through their initial thoughts on the first 19 selections for Thursday's SuperDraft.
Manneh (L) or Hurtado (R) could make for
interesting offensive projects
Simon and Matt both agreed on the Fire's choice at 11th overall, saying they thought Frank Klopas and Co. would select Generation adidas signing, Gambian forward Kekuta Manneh, while Saghini differed with his pick of midfielder Erik Hurtado from Santa Clara.
Having just turned 18, Manneh seems to be a wild card in this draft. During the 2010-11 U.S. Soccer Development Academy campaign, the 5-9 forward tallied 35 goals for the Texas Rush.
The closest teammate to him goals scored was Marco Molina at seven.
Manneh didn't play in the Academy league this past year but the then 17-year-old did suit up for the USL Premier Development League's Austin Aztex, tying for the team lead in goals with 10 in 12 games before adding three more in two playoff matches.
Hurtado is a bit more of a known quantity. The Beaverton, Ore. product was a four-year stand-out at Santa Clara where he was actually teammates with current Fire defender Jalil Anibaba in 2009.
The attacking midfielder led the Broncos in goals all four seasons, tallying 33 to go along with 20 assists over 76 matches.
The last two summers, he's suited up for the Portland Timbers U-23 PDL side, tallying an impressive 14 goals in 18 matches.
Elsewhere over at TopDrawerSoccer.com, J.R. Eskilson and Travis Clark projected the Fire to select Maryland midfielder John Stertzer 11th overall.
Maryland's Stertzer is another name in the Fire mix
A product of Oakton, Va., Stertzer tallied 25 goals and 14 assists over 79 matches between 2009-12.
Stertzer came into his own offensively over the last two seasons, bagging 21 goals and 11 assists and helped the Terrapins in their return to the NCAA College Cup this past December but is expected to take on more of a holding role in MLS.
What do you think of the three projected players? Certainly with two offseason additions in attack, none of the three may stick out to Fire fans on paper and all would seem to be sort of project players. Of course these are just initial lists and the Combine has a lot to do with the reshuffling of the draft order.
We'll be sure to keep up with the combine this weekend and the newest Mock Drafts to come out from it…

Thornton gets solid peer review from fellow rookies
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Fri, 08/03/07, 04:50pm:
A nice hat tip to Clipper Derrick who turned us on to this piece from nba.com, a report of a survey of 44 incoming NBA rookies. It's one thing to be heralded by Chad Ford or DraftExpress -- solid sources indeed -- but any public professional will tell you that the praise of colleagues carries much more weight. The survey asked each rookie a series of questions like, "Which rookie is most ready to contribute right away?" Al Thornton earned a whole lot of praise.
Asked "Which rookie is the most athletic?" Al Thornton was the leading vote-getter with 31.8% of the vote. Thornton placed second in the "Which rookie is being most overlooked?" category, and tied for third in "Who will be the 2007-08 Rookie of the Year?" In addition, he tied for fourth in "Which rookie is most ready to contribute right away?" and picked up one vote for "Which rookie will play in the most All-Star games before his career is over?"
Jared Jordan received two votes for "Which rookie do you know the least about?" and a single vote for both "Which rookie is being most overlooked?" and "Which rookie is the best playmaker?"
Asked "Which current NBA player are you most looking forward to playing against?" one rookie responded "Quinton Ross."

Gastroenterology reviews in Greenville
The only reason I would not use this facility in the future is that Dr. has ownership in the clinic."
After the procedure I was advised that the results would be mailed to me. When I asked about a follow up appointment to discuss my digestive/colon problems with Dr.
On my follow-up appointment Dr.
I have no plans to see this Dr.
Then, when I met with the new physician, one of the first things he told me was they were doing things differently now. I'll say. I was treated with condescension and like I was an idiot (I have a PhD in a science). Then when it came to scheduling the appointment I was told that I had to find some other way to get home than a taxi. I am single, I have no one I can call on in the area to do personal favors for me and, while I understand the need to be driven home (I did have one of these procedures before) I was not offered any alternatives. I feel that this is blatant discrimination against single people. I eventually canceled my appointment for the procedure as I could not find anyone who could sit around for a couple of hours and then take me home.
The whole experience was very unpleasant. While they were not unprofessional, they were uncaring and uncreative. I felt like a piece of meat.

Source: Mariota played Stanford with partial sprain of MCL
EUGENE, Ore. -- Marcus Mariota has been wearing a knee brace on his left knee, and a source with knowledge of the situation told KVAL Sports that the Ducks quarterback has a partial sprain of his MCL.
Mariota took the field in Thursday night's game against the Stanford Cardinal wearing a knee brace on his left leg. A source close to the situation told Harmon that the Ducks' Sophomore quarterback is wearing the brace for a partial sprain of his MCL.
Earlier in the day the Oregon Athletic Department said that Mariota will take the field in healthy playing condition.
Mariota has thrown for 20 touchdowns and rushed 9 more this season, without a single interception.
In the latest Heisman polls, Mariota leads Florida State's Jameis Winston and last year's winner Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel.

THE MORNING SKATE: Isles Recall Ty Wishart And Video of Haley's Hat Trick
Last season, the Islanders traded veteran goaltender Dwayne Roloson to Tampa Bay in December and in a somewhat rare event didn't get a draft pick in return. Coming from the Lightning was Ty Wishart, a former first round pick of the San Jose Sharks in 2006 and possessing a 6-4/215 frame that the Islanders desperately needed (and still do).
After being assigned to Bridgeport initially, Wishart would get the call to the big club late in the year and played decently. He had 5 points in 20 games with just over a hit and a shot per game. The real surprise was his corsi, easily the best on the team last year among defensemen. 20 games is a small sample but enough to show that he belonged in the organization and, given time, could help the team.
Fast forward to 2011-12 and Wishart was nowhere to be found when the Islanders needed defensive call ups. The first man out of the gate was Dylan Reese. Reese had the most experience by far out of any of the defenders that started the year in Bridgeport, so being the first to get the call early on in the season wasn't a shocker. As we've seen, Reese has handled the role pretty well.
Next up was Calvin de Haan, the prospect with the most potential upside. Again, not an indictment of Wishart to be passed over for de Haan but if the team was going on experience, the 23 year old Wishart would now be next in line? Well, not so fast. When Travis Hamonic got bloodied the team turned to Aaron Ness and the talk of Wishart in forums and Twitter got louder. With the Islanders heading out on a road-trip across the continent for the week, Wishart may be the insurance they need in case of injury.
The Islanders finally recalled Wishart this morning, returning Rhett Rakhshani to Bridgeport at the same time.
Clearly, Wishart is not the one of the first three options from Bridgeport and as a mid-first rounder who has already bounced around twice, expectations should be tempered. Two clubs were willing to part with him and while that doesn't mean he's damaged goods, that's two clubs who thought they were better off without him.
Given how the Islanders have operated this year, waivers likely played an important role. Unless it's an emergency situation (it's not), Wishart would have to clear waivers to be returned to Bridgeport once called up. As we've seen, the team has chosen to use emergency recalls as much as possible throughout the year to minimize the need for sending players through waivers. The situation is different for both de Haan and Ness who can move about freely.
So the team is taking Wishart on the road trip. With the whole work week spent on the road to Winnipeg and on to St. Louis before returning home late Thursday, it's a good idea to have an extra man with you. It's possible we may be seeing him for an extended stay since I imagine there will be a reluctance to put him through waivers.
The Sound Tigers won yet again Sunday night, 2-1 over the CT Whale. We'll flash back to Saturday night's 8-1 win over Springfield though. Here's the third goal of Micheal Haley's three goal performance courtesy islesenforcers Youtube channel.
Unfortunately, the video didn't show the lone hat on the ice to celebrate the trick from Kevin Poulin.
Was I the only one with a hat when Haley score his 3rd ? #needmorehatsnexttime #greatteamwin
— Kevin Poulin (@KevinPoulin60) February 12, 2012
There's another fanbase that isn't happy with the current state of affairs. They've been a bit distracted by the whole Scott Gomez not scoring thing and the Randy Cunneyworth Doesn't Speak Much French thing to worry about a whole lot else, though. After last week's game on Long Island, they're reveling in Scott Gomez actually scoring a goal, complete with parodies of those 'History Will Be Made' ads that Versus ran last year. The question at the end of this one is pretty great.

The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhumanby Timothy Ferriss
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Thinner, bigger, faster, stronger... which 150 pages will you read?
Is it possible to:
Reach your genetic potential in 6 months?
Sleep 2 hours per day and perform better than on 8 hours?
Lose more fat than a marathoner by bingeing?
Indeed, and much more. This is not just another diet and fitness book.
The 4-Hour Body is the result of an obsessive quest, spanning more than a decade, to hack the human body. It contains the collective wisdom of hundreds of elite athletes, dozens of MDs, and thousands of hours of jaw-dropping personal experimentation. From Olympic training centers to black-market laboratories, from Silicon Valley to South Africa, Tim Ferriss, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek, fixated on one life-changing question:
For all things physical, what are the tiniest changes that produce the biggest results?
Thousands of tests later, this book contains the answers for both men and women.
From the gym to the bedroom, it's all here, and it all works.
YOU WILL LEARN (in less than 30 minutes each):
How to lose those last 5-10 pounds (or 100+ pounds) with odd combinations of food and safe chemical cocktails.
* How to prevent fat gain while bingeing (X-mas, holidays, weekends)
* How to increase fat-loss 300% with a few bags of ice
* How Tim gained 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, without steroids, and in four hours of total gym time
* How to sleep 2 hours per day and feel fully rested
* How to produce 15-minute female orgasms
* How to triple testosterone and double sperm count
* How to go from running 5 kilometers to 50 kilometers in 12 weeks
* How to reverse "permanent" injuries
* How to add 150+ pounds to your lifts in 6 months
* How to pay for a beach vacation with one hospital visit
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are more than 50 topics covered, all with real-world experiments, many including more than 200 test subjects.
You don't need better genetics or more discipline. You need immediate results that compel you to continue.
That's exactly what The 4-Hour Body delivers.
An exploration of how extreme athletes are able to break the limits of ultimate human performance and what we can learn from their mastery of the state of consciousness known as "flow."
An exploration of how extreme athletes break the limits of ultimate human performance and what we can learn from their mastery of the state of consciousness known as "flow"
In this groundbreaking book, New York Times-bestselling author Steven Kotler decodes the mystery of ultimate human performance. Drawing on over a decade of research and first-hand interviews with dozens of top action and adventure sports athletes such as big-wave legend Laird Hamilton, big-mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones, and skateboarding pioneer Danny Way, Kotler explores the frontier science of "flow," an optimal state of consciousness where we perform and feel our best.
Building a bridge between the extreme and the mainstream, The Rise of Superman explains how these athletes are using flow to do the impossible and how we can use this information to radically accelerate our performance in our own lives.
At its core, this is a book about profound possibility, what is actually possible for our species, and where—if anywhere—our limits lie.

PHOTO — John Tavares Skating for Team Canada in the Spengler Cup
Picture credit: @Buc07
Not only are the World Junior Championships kicking off this week, but one of the oldest hockey tournaments around gets going as well.
Today is the opening day of the Spengler Cup, which will turn 90-years old next year. It features six teams that will play a round robin before a mini-tournament later in the week. The touranment takes place in Davos, Switzerland and is hosted by HC Davos from the Swiss 'A' League. Davos is the reigning camp, having defeated Dinamo Riga last year. They're going to have stiff competition from John Tavares (pictured above left), Tyler Seguin (above right) and Team Canada, who feature nearly a dozen NHLers and should make a good run at winning it all. SportsNet breaks down the NHLers in action:
Tavares, Spezza, Duchene, Gagner, Seguin, and Bergeron are a potent top-six, with Smyth providing leadership and a scoring presence on the third line. Canada hasn't won the tournament since 2007, but will have a strong chance with this powerhouse team.
They're not the only team taking advantage of the lockout. Switzerland's HC Davos already has Joe Thornton and Rick Nash on the roster, though Nash will likely miss the tournament while rehabbing his recent injury. They are adding Patrick Kane, who is currently playing for EHC Biel in Switzerland and Damien Brunner, who is currently leading the Swiss NLA in scoring with 53 points in 30 games and signed with the Detroit Red Wings during the off-season.
The other Swiss team in the tournament, HC Fribourg-Gottéron, has also loaded up, adding Cory Schneider in net and forwards Maxime Talbot, Patric Hörnqvist, and Bruno Gervais to David Desharnais who is already in the lineup.
Germany's Adler Mannheim already has Marcel Goc, Jason Pominville, Jochen Hecht, and Dennis Seidenberg on their roster and are adding Luca Sbisa and Nick Bonino.
Team Canada is facing off in their first game right now against Adler Mannheim from Germany. Tavares is playing left wing on an all-star caliber line centered by Ottawa's Jason Spezza and opposite Edmonton's Sam Gagner on the right side.
If you're in Canada, you can catch the action on TSN and as far as I know this isn't televised in the US.You can check out the full schedule of games here.
The lockout is introducing us to all kinds of non-NHL hockey we never paid attention to before. The more you know…

Junior Alexus Wilson takes a swing at a pitch during Carbon's 13-0 loss to Pine View on Saturday afternoon in the 3A state touranment. Wilson will be one of the key returning players for the Lady Dinos next season.
While dropping their two games at the state tournament may have been tough way to finish the season, the Carbon High softball team did not finish with a wimper.
While the Lady Dinos fell to Juan Diego and Pine View by a combined score of 25-2, the team can take solace in their performance in a wild 7-5 comeback win over Delta in the play-in game to get into the playoffs.
Down 5-0 in the bottom of the fifth inning, the Lady Dinos erupted for four runs in the bottom of the fifth and three more in the sixth which included a 2-run home run by freshman Desirae Lantz.
"That was by far the most positive moment of the season for the girls," said CHS head coach Kirt Nunley. "The monkey was finally off our backs and the girls knew they could come and win the game."
While the team will lose seniors Jordyn Cave and Lacey Lambson, Nunley and assistant coaches Dave Basinger and Erika Sacco feel the experience for the younger players should bode well for future years.
"We've got to minimize our mistakes on defense, improve our fielding and get stronger and faster overall," Nunley said.
The Lady Dinos finished the season with an overall record of 6-19 and a 3-7 mark in Region 12 play.

Have you checked the IP filters on Router B to make sure it's not stopping you from accessing the IP address of Router A (and vice versa)? You might also want to turn off DHCP on both routers to see if that helps.

Detailed Description:
EBV and KSHV are associated with a variety of malignancies including some lymphomas, carcinomas and other malignancies. We anticipate that viral TK expression will differ among tumor types and will be adjusted with standard chemotherapies and some investigational agents. This exploratory study is aimed in part at evaluating whether standard regimens or investigational regimens might bring about sufficient activation of the EBV-TK or KSHV-TK in tumors to be therapeutically useful if used in conjunction with FIAU as a radiopharmaceutical.

Angry Atheists
Dane writes:
We love to mock Christian evangelicals. If you complain about this blog's contents being offensive after just reading the above text you're only proving two things about yourself. And these are that you're a hypocrite and that you are an idiot!Some of the purposes of his blog are:
To point out the hypocrisy of far right fundamentalists.And in one of his posts he wrote:
To mock Christian fundamentalism.
To offer evidence that Christian evangelical fundamentalism is actually a mental illness and delusional thinking.
To report on the latest moral failures of Christian fundamentalist preachers through providing the links to and commenting about the news articles and videos catching these hypocrites in action.
I openly mock you Christian fundamentalists! I piss on the name of your God.Don't get me wrong, as I've written previously, I understand Dane's anger, much like there was an understandable African-American rage once blacks began gaining their needed rights in American society, it's just that I wish angry atheists would first calm down before they write much. It plays into the stereotypical view believers have of atheists, and it's not healthy if sustained for a long period of time.
At the same time some anger seems justified. Psychologist Dr. Valerie Tarico has written an excellent piece describing the phenomenon of Atheist Arrogance which equally applies I think to "Angry Atheists." I wish everyone would read what she wrote. It explains so much of what is underneath the stereotype.

Although spreading the word of pastafarianism has become my life I feel that more could be done, my friends.
You see I recently learnt of a museum of creationism. Though I was gald of thier victory I fealt saddened that we pastafarians had no such place of our own!
It is thus that I concluded that we must have a Museum of The Flying Spaghetti Monster!!
We could hire special effects artists to make animatronic FSM robots. We could also have a ride similar to Disneys Pirates Of The Caribbean ride to show visitors Pastifarians in worship!
Can you not see that this is the will of our noodly lord?

6. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Build Multimillion-Dollar Churches/Temples/Mosques/Shrines To My Noodly Goodness When The Money Could Be Better Spent (Take Your Pick):
Ending Poverty
Curing Diseases
Living In Peace, Loving With Passion, And Lowering The Cost Of Cable
I Might Be A Complex-Carbohydrate Omniscient Being, But I Enjoy The Simple Things In Life. I Ought To Know. I AM The Creator.
