Arriving into Milan's Linate airport on Saturday June 27th with my wife and 2 young boys (5 & 2). Will make our way from there to Milan Centrale train station in order to catch a train to the town of Peschiera on Lake Garda.
I've read online comments regarding the train station and heard its not the easiest to get around and the locals are not that welcoming (pickpockets etc.).
We arrive into Milan airport at 10:45am from Dublin. I was looking at buying the train tickets online in advance as the queues in Centrale are supposedly very long. I'd like to keep the travel time to a minimum if at all possible with the two young lads.
Has anyone ever travelled this route and do you have any advice?

ABC News Launches Preemptive Defense of Martha Raddatz (TVNewser)
The moderator for Thursday's vice presidential debate is ABC News chief foreign correspondent Martha Raddatz. According to Andrew Sullivan, conservative news site The Daily Caller is planning an article about Raddatz, in an apparent effort to discredit her before the debate. The site previously wrote a story about Raddatz back in August. Politico / Dylan Byers on Media "Barack Obama was a law school classmate of Raddatz's ex-husband Julius Genachowski at Harvard. At the time Barack Obama was a student and president of the Law Review. He attended their wedding over two decades ago along with nearly the entire Law Review, many of whom went on to successful careers including some in the Bush administration. Raddatz and Mr. Genachowski divorced in 1997 and both are now remarried," an ABC News representative wrote in a statement sent to Politico. HuffPost On Monday afternoon, ABC News' Martha Raddatz took a break from preparing to moderate this week's vice presidential debate to tweet a photo of herself recently aboard a fighter jet. That flight, she wrote, "was good warmup" for steering the debate between Vice President Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). Mediaite Meanwhile, Raddatz herself has been trying to avoid seeing pre-debate criticisms on Twitter. The Washington Times / Ad Lib Coming on the heels of the smackdown of President Obama by Governor Mitt Romney last Wednesday, the vice presidential debate on Thursday, Oct. 11 has raised unprecedented interest. More than 67 million Americans tuned in to see the Obama-Romney face-off last week and there are expectations for higher numbers this week. Chicago Tribune / Reuters Biden and Ryan have shown a greater willingness to mix it up than their buttoned-down bosses, and both seem comfortable playing the traditional vice-presidential role of attack dog. "I'd be surprised if there weren't far more fireworks in this debate than there were in the first presidential debate," said University of Maine political science professor Mark Brewer.
Jack Welch Quits Contributing to Fortune and Reuters (FishbowlNY)
Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric, has made his mind up: He will no longer contribute to Fortune or Reuters, which ran his and his wife's columns in the past. Welch, as you probably know, garnered plenty of criticism for his conspiracy theory tweet about the most recent jobs report. Fortune On Friday, Welch suggested that the Obama administration, calling them "these Chicago guys," had manipulated the monthly jobs report in order to make the economy look better than it actually is just weeks before the election. Welch has been battered by criticism since making the suggestion on Twitter. NYT / Media Decoder And in an op-ed column for The Wall Street Journal that went online Tuesday evening, he declared that the hostile reaction to his challenging "a piece of data released by central headquarters" was evocative of something out of "Soviet Russia." WSJ / Jack Welch Unfortunately for those who would like me to pipe down, the 7.8 percent unemployment figure released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) last week is downright implausible. And that's why I made a stink about it. Bloomberg Businessweek Welch has contributed $5,000, the maximum, to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's campaign and described him on CNBC as "the most qualified leader" to seek the office in his lifetime. His Oct. 5 Twitter message snowballed as commentators and politicians weighed in on social media websites and television to endorse or dispute his view.
Variety Purchased by Penske Media for $25 Million (FishbowlNY)
Variety has finally been purchased. According to the Los Angeles Times, Variety has been acquired by Penske Media, and its financial backer, Third Point, a hedge fund. The price? A cool $25 million. LA Times / Company Town Santa Monica-based Penske already owns Deadline.com, the website that has in just six years become a dominant news source for show business professionals and, together with online competitor The Wrap and a resurgent Hollywood Reporter, stolen much of the thunder that belonged to Variety for its 107-year history. THR The publication reached its heights in the 1990s under the editorial leadership of Peter Bart, a former executive of Paramount Pictures. NYT / Media Decoder Variety.com, which operates behind a pay wall known for irritating log-in errors, has about 320,000 monthly unique visitors, according to comScore; Deadline, which is free, has about 2.4 million. Bloomberg "We plan to rapidly build upon Variety's foundation, while extending this invaluable brand's presence across Web, broadcast, mobile, and international markets," CEO Jay Penske said Tuesday.
ABC/Univision Cable News Channel Closing in on New Name (TVNewser)
The new cable news channel from ABC News and Univision is closing in on its new name, someone familiar with the process tells TVNewser. Currently there are a number of names under discussion, including "Accent," "VZTA," "UNA" and "U&A." UNA and U&A are a play on the names of the two parent companies, while Accent and VZTA (pronounced like "vista") are brand names that the joint venture could "own." CBS Miami Gov. Rick Scott and local officials will announce this week that a Univision-ABC joint venture for a new cable network will be based in Miami, likely bringing about 350 jobs to South Florida.
Twitter Acquires Video Service; Are Third-Party Video Developers in Danger Now Too? (AllTwitter)
Tuesday, we heard that Twitter was considering building its own video-hosting technology and now we've learned they just acquired a video clip company. Beware, third-party video developers. Beware. AllThingsD If Twitter ends up running its own video service, this should help: The messaging service has bought Vine, a video-sharing start-up. We don't have terms for the deal, but this looks a lot like an "acqhire": Vine is a three-man company, based in New York, which formed in June. VentureBeat Vine's service is focused on people capturing short video clips that can then be shared via their iPhone. The company's splash page also explains that videos don't require editing, rendering, or post-production, meaning it could offer camera filters or an easy way to pluck only the best portions from a clip. TechCrunch If true, this marks an important milestone for Twitter, which is in complete attack mode when it comes to turning into a media powerhouse.
Leon D. Black Acquires Phaidon Press (GalleyCat)
Leon D. Black, a well-known money manager, has acquired art book publisher Phaidon Press Limited from Richard Schlagman in a deal whose terms were not disclosed. Publishers Weekly With offices in New York and London, Phaidon is best known for its art books and does about 60 titles annually and has a 1,900-title backlist. NYT / DealBook Black is one of the country's foremost art collectors. Though he nor any of his representatives will confirm it, Black is said to have paid nearly $120 million for Edvard Munch's 1995 version of "The Scream" earlier this year. New York Daily News / Page Views His purchase of Phaidon comes at a time when art publishing is ailing much like publishing of any other kind, desperately looking for saviors, whoever they may be.
Microsoft CEO Sees Company Becoming More Like Apple (Yahoo! News / Reuters)
Microsoft Corp CEO Steve Ballmer has signaled a new direction for the world's largest software company, pointing to hardware and online services as its future, taking a page from long-time rival Apple Inc. Montreal Gazette Ballmer wrote a letter to shareholders on Tuesday, saying he wants the company to move away from just providing software, so that it can also start making hardware like phones, tablets and computers to sell its software products. GeekWire Among other things, the letter makes it clear that the Microsoft Surface and the Xbox will not be the company's last forays into hardware and device development. That moves the company closer to Apple's vertically integrated model. Gizmodo What Ballmer Is Really Saying: If you would just give us a chance, we promise you'll have a good time with Microsoft. Don't go to Google! Don't go to Apple!
Netflix CEO to Quit Microsoft Board (Yahoo! News / AP)
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings is quitting Microsoft's board of directors after five and a half years. The departure, announced Tuesday, will become effective Nov. 28 when Microsoft Corp. is scheduled to hold its annual shareholders' meeting. TechCrunch Here's what Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, had to say about the noteworthy departure: Reed has been a terrific board member, and his insights and experience have really helped guide us through a critical period of transformation for both Microsoft and the industry. VentureBeat However, Microsoft has signaled its intentions to provide more media services, and it's possible a conflict of interest is driving Hastings away from the board. With Microsoft adding movie rentals to Windows 8, it may not want to give Hastings info on future plans.
Zimmerman Defense Seeking to Subpoena Trayvon Martin's Tweets (AllTwitter)
George Zimmerman's defense team tweeted a link announcing its Notice of Hearing where it will request the Court to consider its motion to subpoena Trayvon Martin's tweets. The fact that his team created a Twitter account demonstrates social media savvy. But its request to subpoena the dead teen's tweets seems... unnecessary, particularly considering that Martin's tweets are easily found online. HuffPost His lawyers have also requested Martin's cellphone information, saying that Martin's communications will help them prepare Zimmerman's defense. BET "This is outrageous," said Benjamin Crump, the lawyer for Martin's parents, in an interview with BET.com. "Trayvon's parents maintain that his school records and Facebook page are completely irrelevant to George Zimmerman's decision to get out of his car to profile, pursue and shoot their son in the heart."
Former Teen Who Had Sex with Polanski Writing Book (Yahoo! News / AP)
The former teen whom Roman Polanski was convicted of having sex with -- leading to his flight from the US -- is writing a memoir. Samantha Geimer, now 47, has a deal with Atria Books for The Girl: Emerging from the Shadow of Roman Polanski. USA Today / Life Line Live According to Atria, Geimer will provide "insight into many dimensions of the story that have never previously been revealed." In a statement, Geimer, who is married with three kids and lives in Hawaii, said she was tired of being labeled.
NBC News Shakes Up Management Team, New EP at Rock Center (TVNewser)

Obama Campaign Deploys Big Bird in New Ad (Yahoo! News / AP)
President Barack Obama deployed Big Bird in a new campaign ad Tuesday mocking Mitt Romney's vow to end federal funding for public broadcasting.

Dallas' Chris Bosh felt some nerves
Chris Bosh did not start for the Eastern Conference, but the Dallas native played 29 minutes and scored 23 points, while grabbing 10 rebounds, tying for the game high.
"Just to be an All- Star not only year in and year out, but to be an All-Star in my hometown, it's been great to me," Bosh said. "I think it's great for the city of Dallas to be able to showcase this big, great grand arena, well stadium that they have. And to be able to have the biggest crowd ever, I think that speaks a lot to where the game has come."
Bosh actually felt some nerves at the free throw with five seconds left to play and the game tied at 139-139. He even heard a loud roar against him considering the Western Conference ties to the area.
"It's not a classical basketball setting and there was a lot more people watching the game," Bosh said. "I wanted to first off make it. I'm glad that I did. I'm glad you asked me that question instead of me missing. I would've had to listen to my friends after this game."

Local Advertising Business Opportunity
(Furnished FREE with JobsNOW Career Training Program)
Why do most expert business consultants say
that a franchise type business is the best business to buy? Because a franchise
business opportunity has more success than any other type of business
opportunity. Basically, their success is the result of (1) the
franchisor's years of experience and (2) a business method that has been proven
to already work. And, their success is dramatically improved when good
training and support services are furnished. .
Some franchise companies first offer a pre-franchise
business opportunity during their early phase while they are preparing the
required government franchise documents, approvals and licenses. The government
approvals require considerable time and expense to obtain - and those
costs are usually passed on to the franchised licensee. However, some
companies do not pass on those costs during their pre-franchise phase.
So this is the best time to buy a franchise type business opportunity. You
can save thousands of dollars and still obtain all the benefits of a
full franchise license.
Career Training Program
Through our years of experience, we have found that the
most important part in obtaining a franchise, is the quality, scope,
knowledge, and practical experience that the franchisee receives during a
good training program.
For that reason, we provide a unique Career Training
Program which provides intensive practical training in advertising,
marketing, sales, and management of an advertising business. This
training also provides the essential practical knowledge and experience to
successfully manage most any type of local business. Upon completion
of your training, you are offered FREE a pre-franchise Old Time News

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Georgia cornerback Brandon Boykin and

announced he will return. Another highly regarded junior, outside
linebacker Justin Houston, has not announced his plans.
Boykin has six career interceptions and ranks first in school
history with 1,813 career yards on kickoff returns. Glenn has made

Running back Marc Tyler drops the ball during training camp practice Sunday in The Don Hutson Center. Megan McCormick/Press-Gazette
Thumbs up
Nick Perry had the kind of practice befitting a first-round draft pick.
The rookie outside linebacker on Sunday recorded a sack, batted down a pass and stuffed a running play at the line of scrimmage.
The only problem was it all came against the scout-team offense.
Other than recording a sack in the preseason opener against San Diego on Aug. 9 and scoring a few victories in one-on-one pass rushing drills, Perrys impact has been minimal despite getting nearly every rep with the starting defense since camp opened. He recorded just one tackle in last Thursdays preseason game against Cleveland.
Barring injury, Perry will be the opening-day starter on the left side. Even though his sack came against backup quarterback Graham Harrell, his deflected pass came off the hand of third-string quarterback B.J. Coleman and run stop was against rookie back Marc Tyler, perhaps those plays will help increase Perrys confidence.
Thumbs down
Speaking of Tyler, the undrafted free agent from USC hasnt helped himself with his ball-security issues.
His fumble at the Chargers 40-yard line in the final minute cost the Packers any shot at tying the game on the last drive, and he coughed it up again in practice on Sunday. Though he recovered his most recent fumble, it had to be unsettling for the coaches, who need to know they can trust a running back to hold on to the ball.
Tylers latest fumble was unforced. The ball came loose when he ran up the back of one of his blockers. Seen as a promising prospect despite a college career that fizzled, the son of former NFL running back Wendell Tyler has averaged just 1.8-yards per carry in the two preseason games despite getting a team-high 21 rushing attempts.
With Cedric Benson now a full-time participant in practice Sunday was his first padded practice since signing last week Tyler cant afford any more miscues if he is to make a serious push for a spot.
Did you notice?
Packers coach Mike McCarthy was the happiest person at Ray Nitschke Field when rain started to fall halfway through Sundays practice. While fans and observers scattered to find cover, McCarthy kept the team on the field through a steady rain.
I think the rain was great, McCarthy said. I wish it would have stayed that way the whole time. You have games that you play in like that. You do wet-ball drills every 10th day that were out there, so to have the opportunity to practice in it, I thought was perfect.
But McCarthy was later forced to move practice inside when lightning was spotted.
I dont mess around with lightning; never have, never will, McCarthy said.
There were a couple of changes in the No. 2 offensive line, which struggled against the Browns. Don Barclay moved from left guard to right guard, and Reggie Wells was inserted at left guard. Tommie Draheim, who played right guard, was demoted. Draheim worked at center with the scout team.
Center Jeff Saturday was penalized for an illegal snap during a team period and per McCarthys rules was pulled out for one play. Saturday either didnt want to come out or didnt realize he was supposed to because he had to be told several times that he was being replaced by Evan Dietrich-Smith.
Tackle Andrew Datko and defensive end Anthony Hargrove dropped out of practice, but McCarthy didnt have updates on either player.
In a short one-on-one pass rushing/pass blocking period, Dezman Moses, Daniel Muir and B.J. Raji had the only wins for the defense.
Four of the five starting offensive linemen scored victories in the one-on-ones. Saturday, who has taken only two reps in the drill all camp, didnt get a turn.

Berkhamsted is a small, historic market town in the Chiltern Hills, which is located on the western edge of Hertfordshire, England. The town is 26 miles (40 km) northwest of London, and is in the Metropolitan Green Belt. Berkhamsted is a civil parish, with a Town Council in the borough of Dacorum. The small town of Tring and the large town of Hemel Hempstead are also in Dacorum.
Berkhamsted's most prominent time in national history was in early December 1066. After William the Conqueror defeated King Harold II of England's Anglo-Saxon army at the Battle of Hastings, the Anglo-Saxon leadership surrendered at Berkhamsted. The event was recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. From 1066 to 1495, Berkhamsted Castle was a favoured royal residence. It was occupied by English monarchs, queen consorts and other royals, including Edward, the Black Prince, royal favourites, and historical figures such as Thomas Becket and Geoffrey Chaucer. Colonel Daniel Axtell, born in Berkhamsted, was the captain of the Parliamentary Guard at the trial and execution of Charles I of England in 1649.
The oldest known existing urban jettied timber framed building in Great Britain, built between 1277–97, is among the Grade II buildings on the high street. Reviewing the town's high street, the Academy of Urbanism said in November 2014, "It would appear that, by any measure, Berkhamsted is a successful town."[1] The town is also home to the British Film Institute's BFI National Archive at King's Hill, one of the largest film and television archives in the world, which was endowed by J. Paul Getty, Jr.
Research Tips

At a recent station-wide meeting, WCCO-TV, Channel 4, sports director Mark Rosen, photographer/satellite truck operator Arthur Phillips and engineer Mike Kraemer were honored for their decades of employment with the station. Rosen, who is 61 and started as a part-timer at WCCO in his late teens, says he was recognized for 40 years as a full-time Channel 4 employee.
"It was a 'This Is Your Life' sort of thing," said Rosen, whose memoir "Best Seat in the House" was released last year. "It was unexpected -- really nice, really touching."
We thought we'd ask the guy who was nicknamed "Rosey" by Kirby Puckett a few things about his lengthy career.
Q Any thoughts about retiring?
A "Good lord, I don't even know what that word means. No. I feel like I'm better at what I do now than I was 20 years ago. It's a constant process and it takes a long time."
Q What's the proudest moment of your career?
A "The proudest and biggest was covering the 1980 Olympics. In 1980, when no one knew what we were walking into, we didn't have the technology we have now, instead of doing a live shot I'm screaming into the telephone that the U.S. hockey team just beat the Russians. And having the opportunity to go back 25 years later -- unfortunately after Herb Brooks was killed in that car crash -- with all those players, many of them I knew quite well. I was on the bench when they were handing out those gold medals. It was the highlight of my career.
Q What's your most embarrassing moment on air?
A "When Brad Johnson was quarterback for the Vikings, one day I was introducing him and I said, 'Brad's Johnson.' It was embarrassing, but it was so funny. Everybody was laughing. I remember looking at the camera and saying, 'I knew I was going to say that one of these times.' "
Q What was the worst jacket you ever wore on air?
A "I've had a few of those, a couple times I'm sure it looked like I got dressed in the dark -- the tie and shirt didn't quite match. I just got an email from somebody saying, 'I really liked the tie you wore yesterday, who's your wardrobe person?' I just went, 'Ha, ha, ha -- we don't have a wardrobe person, we have to figure it out ourselves.' Remember those really colorful Australian Coogi sweaters? I went through a period where I wore a lot of those sweaters and I think, oh my god those things were hideous, but at the time they were in."
Q Do you ever get sick of talking about sports?
A "Sure. I love going to movies and I can't tell you how many times I've walked out of a movie and somebody goes, 'Hey how did the Gophers do tonight?' I don't know, I've been sitting in the same movie as you have for the last two hours -- I'm not checking my phone every 10 seconds."
Q Who would play you in a movie about Mark Rosen?
A "That's really funny. The younger version of me, I would say Josh Duhamel. I just met him and he's a big sports fan. I don't look anything like him other than he's angular. He's a really good-looking guy."

The PaKua is another common tool (this time Chinese) which is used to find the 8 influences. It is very similar to the BaGua, and we find that people often get confused between them.
We have even seen them drawn the same way sometimes.
The main difference is in the way they are used. The PaKua is lined up using the magnetic compass so that "Career & Business" is centred on Magnetic North (whereas the BaGua is lined up on the wall containing the main entrance).
The 8 influences are now aligned to the compass positions (instead of according to the position on the main door as is the case with the BaGua). So that :-
Also the PaKua is correctly used as a "pie slice" analysis, whereas the BaGua is a 3 x 3 grid.
A question which we often get asked at this point in our seminars and workshops is "Which one is correct, the BaGua or the PaKua?".
The answer is both of them.
There are two "Marriage" areas in a building for instance, one located by the PaKua and one located by the BaGua. Occasionally they coincide, and then that area is doubly powerful in its effects. For instance we've noticed that where the rear left corner of a building is missing (Wealth on the Bagua) and that is also in the Southeast (Wealth on the Pakua), those buildings often have weaknesses where money is concerned.
We've also noticed that where Sha lines strike the outside of a building it also has a detrimental effect, though it seems to be the PaKua which is the more influential in determining what those are. For instance a Sha line striking the Southwest of a building is likely to adversely influence relationships in that building.
There are interactions between colours, bathrooms and kitchens that can cause problems if they are in the wrong location. For example a lot of blue, or a bathroom in the Southwest ("marriage" area) will often weaken a marriage unless counter measures are put into place.
This is also the clue on how to work with the PaKua. The DIY tip below tells you to put two red roses in the Southwest to improve a marriage.
So how does that work ? Red is Fire element, Two is an Earth number and the Marriage influence is in the Southwest which is also Earth. If you run those through the 5 Element cycle in the page on Colours, you'll find that the pair of Red roses actually strengthens the Marriage influence. There is also one more aspect -
In the same way, putting a Money plant in the Southeast can help Wealth -
In our experience the Pakua is generally the more useful of the two to use to look at the whole building and the BaGua is the more useful to look at individual rooms. So for instance placing your two red roses in the Southwest of the house is far more likely to work than placing them in the Southwest of the room.
The PaKua above is for use indoors only.
Like the BaGua, there are actually TWO PaKua's.
Contrary to the claims made in many books, especially those about Feng Shui and gardens, out doors the trigrams & everything else are in different places. The colours on the above PaKua are also only correct for the inside of buildings.
Outdoors the elements and colours are assigned to the compass directions in a different way, so that Southwest for example is no longer "Earth" element, nor for that matter does it influence "Marriage".
You can usually improve a marriage by placing two red roses in the Southwest, or improve wealth by placing 3 Chinese coins connected together with red thread in the Southeast.
But remember that where you place things also connects to the BaGua areas within a room. Within rooms these are more powerful than the PaKua influences and could have an adverse effect

Tunisia took the Maghreb derby honours today, a 2-1 defeat of Morocco putting them alongside Gabon at the top of Group C in the CAF Africa Cup of Nations.
The north African neighbours' last Nations Cup meeting came in the 2004 final won by Tunisia, who also denied Morocco qualification to the 2006 FIFA World Cup™. And the Carthage Eagles claimed the bragging rights again with goals in either half from Khaled Korbi and Youssef Msakni, with Houssine Kharja getting a dubious late consolation for Morocco.
Tunisia coach Sami Trabelsi said: "This was a precious victory that will help us. We played well as a team...but the competition is long, this is just one victory, we have lots of matches in front of us, I hope we can progress. We were better in defence than - when you look at the quality of players we have available - in midfield and in attack."
Captain Karim Haggui added: "We deserved to win, I hope our new generation of players will write their own history now."
Morocco coach Eric Gerets said that his side had to bounce back against co-hosts Gabon. "This is the Nations Cup, it's full of surprises, that's life, now we've got to show the mental strength we've displayed over the past year," said the Belgian. Our second match against Gabon is an all or nothing situation."
As promised Morocco coach Gerets kept faith with veteran keeper Nadir Lamyaghri who was returning after a lengthy lay off. The Belgian chose Arsenal's Marouane Chamakh to spearhead the attack alongside Oussama Assaidi, with Queen Park Rangers' Adel Taraabt on the bench.
The Tunisians were missing Auxerre-attached Issam Jemaa, top scorer in qualifying but sidelined with an ankle problem.
The match got underway with the L'Amitie stadium only half full, the other half having gone off to celebrate co-host Gabon's stirring 2-0 win over Niger in the first installment of this Group C double bill. Gerets' confidence in Lamyaghri was repaid as early as the eighth minute when the keeper's athletic dive denied Tunisia skipper Karim Haggui.
Down at the other end, Lamyaghri's opposite number Aymen Mathlouthi was up to the task of stopping Moroccan midfielder Mbark Boussoufa's shot from the right of the box. The two favourites to qualify - at least until Gabon's victory - were creating plenty of early chances, one of the better ones coming before the half hour was up when Zouhaier Dhaouadi struck from outside the box with only the post preventing Tunisia from taking control.
They did just that on 34 minutes when Korbi's dipping free-kick from distance sailed over the Moroccan defence to hit the inside of Lamyaghri's far upright and cross the line.
Morocco would have levelled before the break only for Younes Belhanda to shoot narrowly off target after some nimble footwork from the Montpellier man in front of Mathlouthi's goalmouth. Gerets made one switch at the restart, bringing on Taarabt for Assaidi in a bid to salvage something from this opening Cup run out and the QPR forward was quickly making his presence felt.
Gerets later introduced Youssef Hadji for Boussoufa and the Rennes striker soon had his head in his hands when after beautifully controlling a long lob in the area he shot wide. Morocco were getting plenty of the ball but the Tunisian backline marshalled by Haggui was holding firm.
On 75 minutes, second-half substitute Msakni bagged his first for his country when fending off Ahmed Kantari and then Badr El Kaddouri to slice the ball across the box and into Lamyaghri's far corner.
Morocco pulled one back with four minutes to go when Ahmed Kantari, who appeared well offside, crossed from the right for Kharja to convert - the Fiorentina midfielder had Tunisian hearts in their mouths again in injury time when shaving the crossbar.

The last two weeks, everyone and their mama has been commenting to me about my amazing 'pregnancy glow.' That's sweet and all, but the fact of the matter is the last thing this pregnancy has given me is a glow. It's given me seriously bad skin (which I finally got in control), swollen feet, 24 pounds of weight, and a butt JLo would be jealous of. (I'm not complaining about the last one. I've dreamed about a butt like this for years.) I've been using some great products that have been helping me get that glowing goddess look so I'm starting a new series called How To Fake a Pregnancy Glow where each week I'll reveal products that will give you a gorgeous glow-perfect for the summer months. This week I'm letting you know about Vapour Organics.
First off, I want to start by saying that this brand is truly rocking my world and because of that, I will be reviewing their whole array of product in the near future. This line is different from anything I've ever tried because its base is organic, and contains light dry plant oils that are non –comedogenic. One of the founders of Vapour Organics is also one of the founders of Kevyn Aucoin Beauty and that says a lot. (Kevyn Aucoins makeup is probably some of the best ever.) All of Vapour's products are in a stick form, and their Aura Shimmer Muti-use Blush in Charisma has been making my skin glow since I got my hands on it. Usually cream blushes scare me because I think they'll break me out, but not this one, it's a beautiful pink, with gorgeous shimmer, that leaves my bronze skin looking flushed, dewy and oh so radiant.and has never once left me with skin irritation. The fact that all these ingredients are 100% natural and 70 % organic, really rocks my world (making it incredibly safe for me and my lil squirrel) and this product last. I put it on in the morning, and it was still going strong six hours later when I went to take a break.
Here's me with it on. My camera sucks, but I'm glowing-8 hours after applying!
Bottom line, this new product line is fantastic, and their Aura Charisma blush will make it seem as if you're pregnant too (well maybe that's not a good way to describe it) but you know what I mean. It will give you a serious dewy radiant knock-your-socks-off glow. Lol
What are you using to give you a glow?
PS: Don't forget to enter my giveaway. We're giving away over $150.00 worth of Moroccan Oil products.
Next week, I'll reveal another product that's faking my pregnant glow.

Fair play? ESPN columnist jokes about Rangers' cocaine use
Is it too soon or too sensitive a subject to poke fun at the Rangers' drug issues?
ESPN columnist Bill Simmons doesn't think so.
Simmons had a web chat Thursday for the NCAA Tournament in which there were negative posts against the Rangers — some made by Simmons himself — about manager Ron Washington, who admitted this week he had used cocaine. The chat host usually has to approve the comments before they appear.
Some examples:
Simmons wrote: Ron Washington is manning the CBS controls right now. We're getting jerked around left and right. I feel like I'm on a Southwest Airlines flight with turbulence.
Simmons: Our friend Hench just came up with the best possible Ron Washington excuse: "I saw what I thought was coke in our clubhouse, I was worried Josh Hamilton was doing it, I tried it to make sure it was coke, when it was, I threw it out." That's pretty airtight.
One poster wrote: "Tony Montana should be the Texas Rangers new mascot."
Washington, the Texas Rangers manager, recently admitted he failed a drug test for cocaine last year. He also said he used marijuana and amphetamines while he was a player.
Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton is a former drug user. At one point, he was in and out of eight drug rehab centers and attempted to overdose in a suicide attempt. He said he was addicted to cocaine and crack but literally tried every drug on the street.
Simmons often uses humor and speaks as the voice of the fan. But some people might see drug addiction as a topic that shouldn't be joked about.
Is it fair play to poke fun at the Rangers for this?

Raid Rx has returned from retirement! Every week, Raid Rx will help you quarterback your healers to victory! Your host is Matt Low, the grand poobah of World of Matticus and a founder of No Stock UI, a new WoW blog for all things UI, macro, and addon related. Ulduar is almost here! Are you prepared?
The patch for Ulduar is imminent. There's no release date yet. Personally I believe it will land sometime this month. Healing assignments has just gotten more complicated. Incoming damage is more than what's currently in the game. To cap it all off, mana regen's been slightly nerfed.
So here's a quick summary of what to expect and how to counteract for it. I've participated in some of the normal mode Ulduar raids and a few heroic mode Ulduar raids. It's tough. The level of complexity and effort required is somewhere along the pre-nerf Hyjal and Black Temple days.
Come to think of it, when I participated in these encounters early on, the game designers felt that it was too easy. So they ramped up the amount of healing overall that needs to be done since the last time I tried these out. Ho boy!
Mana regen
Get used to using these instead of Flask of the Frost Wyrm. Two things happening here are the fact that regeneration for most of the healing classes have been affected in some way and boss fights are expected to get lengthier. We haven't quite returned to the 20 minute Illidan encounters yet.
To help ease the stress, your guild may wish to bring another healer or two.
Damage output
Expect overall raid damage to increase. It seems that every raid boss is going to have an AoE spell or an effect that will damage the whole raid. The raid group as a whole is going to have to take steps to buy as much time for the healers to get to them. Yes, stay out of the fires. This time around, it's also stay out of the falling snow.
Again, bring another healer. My guild will not be going in with less than 7 healers.
Damage mitigation
This is where the Priests in your guild will shine (hopefully). I have a soft spot for Discipline Priests (since I play one). Expect bosses who have the ability to two shot your tanks. Having a Priest can increase the odds of survival due to their Power Word: Shields. Instead of being two shot, they'll have to take three in order to go down.
Although a Priest isn't exactly a requirement, I'd say it's a strong recommendation.
Complex assignments
Assigning healing isn't necessarily going to be harder or more difficult. It's going to require much more finesse. The closest thing that comes close would be your OS3D encounter. Every healer has a job. Not only that, certain healers have to do certain things at certain times for certain results. Coordination demands will be going up. The brute force healing methods being used aren't going to last very long into Ulduar.
A classic example of this is Kael'Thas in Tempest Keep. That fight was a virtual nightmare the first time I did it.
This should go without saying. At the moment, I'm gemmed for pure throughput. On a good day I'll have ~2900 spellpower as Holy and after raid buffs and consumables. The gems may need to be dialed back down for extra mana regeneration instead.
This is it folks. We've asked for something harder and more challenging. Welcome to year 2 of raiding. Let's hope we're up to snuff.
Want some more advice for working with the healers in your guild? Raid Rx has you covered with all there is to know! Looking for less healer-centric raiding advice? Take a look at our raiding column Ready Check.

There's a comforting something in the imagery of health conscious, nature loving individuals shunning their oversized, gas guzzling automobiles and SUVs in favor of pedaling their way to their jobs, schools, and marketplaces in the soft, pastoral glow of self-satisfaction at somehow "making a difference."
One real difference, though, is that Somerville is far from being pastoral. Within its roughly four square miles dwells a population of 70,000 or so, with the majority of us choosing to operate our motor vehicles, mostly out of shear necessity.
As one of the most densely populated areas in the country, we may not enjoy the same options that other cities have at hand. Adding in additional bike paths and lanes may be highly desirable to a certain minority of our population, but putting it into practice can be problematic, to say the least.
The costs alone are daunting. And what becomes of a bike lane in the winter when it has been plowed over with snow? Does anyone actually ride their bike in winter anyway? We're talking about a lot of expense and hassle for a part-time activity practiced by a relative few.
Ultimately, how many of us would benefit from expanded bicycle access? Who among us will be tossing their car keys in the dresser drawer to be forgotten until the end of time? Most importantly, how would this affect the average citizen?
These are questions which must be weighed, debated, and resolved. Friendliness, after all, must be tempered by a certain modicum of restraint and caution. We're like that, too.

Radon in Homes and Other Dwellings
What is radon?
Radon is a colourless, odourless radioactive gas that is released from the breakdown of uranium that occurs naturally in rock, soil, and groundwater.
When released outdoors, radon gas becomes diluted with air and poses little risk. However, radon gas can build up inside homes and other buildings and pose a health hazard. Radon primarily enters buildings through soil, moving through cracks and other openings (construction joints, and gaps around service pipes) in the foundation.
How does radon affect my health?
Breathing in radon over the long-term can cause lung cancer. Health Canada states that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada next to smoking. About 16 per cent of lung cancer deaths in Canada are due to indoor radon exposure.
The risk of developing lung cancer depends on both the concentration of radon in the air, as well as the length of exposure. However, studies show that even low levels of radon can cause harm, so levels in a home and building should be reduced as much as possible through remediation. Remediation is the term used to describe the various processes used to reduce the amount of radon in homes and other buildings.
Smokers are at highest risk of developing lung cancer because radon and tobacco smoke have a synergistic relationship. Children are potentially more vulnerable, because they have a longer time in which to develop lung cancer, if exposed to radon early on in their lives.
Experts state that exposure to a radon concentration of 200 Bq/m3 at home, on an ongoing basis over a lifetime, gives a 2 per cent chance of developing lung cancer. For a smoker, the lifetime chance of developing lung cancer is much higher, at around 30 per cent.
Radon exposure does not produce immediate symptoms. You may not realize exposure to elevated levels of radon has occurred until you or someone in your family is diagnosed with lung cancer. For this reason, it is important to test, and if needed, remediate your home for radon.
How is radon measured?
Radon in air is measured in Becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m3), a measure of radioactive decay per second. Indoors, radon can be measured using both long-term (3 months to a year) and short-term (2 to 7 days) tests. Long-term testing is recommended to provide an accurate measurement of radon concentrations in a home and building. Small wall-mounted radon detectors are used to measure long-term radon concentrations. Other types of radon detectors can be used to conduct short-term tests, but because radon levels can vary greatly over a period of 24 hours, very short-term tests (2 to 7 days) are not recommended.
What are the guidelines levels for radon?
Health Canada recommends that where average annual radon concentrations in dwellings (e.g. homes and other places where people spend 4 or more hours a day) are above 200 Bq/m3, remediation should be conducted.
Radon in B.C.
Radon sampling has been conducted in more than 22 B.C. communities to monitor radon concentrations and to identify radon-prone areas of the province.
Sampling results in the Interior and east of the Coast Mountain Range showed that between 5 to 40 per cent of dwellings may have radon levels of more than 200 Bq/m3, depending on the community. Elevated levels of radon were also found in the North. Coastal regions had fewer dwellings over 200 bq/m3.
Should I get my home tested?
Everyone is encouraged to test their home for radon. Radon levels vary widely from house to house, even in the same neighborhood. This is because concentrations in a building depend on several factors, including the geology of the area, housing construction, and characteristics like air exchange in the home.
Newer dwellings that are tightly sealed tend to have higher radon levels. In general, radon concentrations tend to be highest in the lowest levels of a building, including basements.
The only way to be absolutely sure of the concentration of radon in your home is to test. Those living in Interior and Northern communities in B.C. are especially encouraged to test their homes for radon.
How do I get my home tested?
Radon testing is easy, relatively inexpensive, and can be done with "do it yourself" tests. A long-term radon detector, which can be obtained from several places, is placed in the lowest level of your home that is occupied for more than 4 hours per day.
Specific instructions are provided with the detector. Once the test is completed (ideally over a period of 3 months to 1 year, including some winter months), the detector is mailed to a lab for analysis. The lab then provides the testing results, in the form of an average radon concentration over the test period. This level can then be compared to Health Canada's guideline of 200 Bq/m3. Because no level of radon is considered to be without harm, individuals are encouraged to consider remediation, even if levels are close to or below the guideline.
A list of suppliers of radon testing devices is available from the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) at www.bccdc.ca/healthenv/Contaminants/Radon/default.htm, or under 'home inspection services' in your local phone listings. The cost of a testing device and results is about $50.
Test kits are also available from:
- BC Lung Association - Call 604-731-5864, toll-free 1-800-665-5864 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Northern Health Authority – Call 250-565-2150, toll-free 1-800-663-7867 or email email@example.com.
- Donna Schmidt Memorial Lung Cancer Prevention Society. Call 250-365-0344 ext 227 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Note: Kits are limited to locations in the Kootenays.
What can I do if tests show my home has elevated radon levels?
There are several things you can do to greatly reduce the levels of radon in your home:
- Ventilate the basement sub-flooring by installing a small air pump to draw the radon from below the concrete slab and vent it outside before it enters the home or building.
- Improve ventilation or air flow (natural or forced) of crawl spaces, basements and other areas on the lower levels of the home or building by opening windows or using ceiling fans.
- Seal cracks and openings in basement floors and walls, and around pipes and drains.
Certified radon mitigation professionals are available to provide advice and conduct remediation. To find a radon professional in your area, visit the Canadian-National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP) web page at c-nrpp.ca/.
After remediation is completed, another radon test should be done to ensure that levels have been reduced.
What changes are being made to address radon?
Both the federal and provincial governments continue to explore ways to prevent or reduce radon levels in buildings. For example, the BC Building Code requires new buildings in radon-prone areas of B.C. to install radon provisions that help to address indoor radon concentrations.

Alan Rosenberg has a formidable list of credits encompassing stage, film, and television. His best-known credits include his portrayal of Eli Levinson on the 1990s courtroom series Civil Wars — a character so popular it was reprised on the hit TV series L.A. Law. Rosenberg also won legions of fans for his portrayals of Ira Woodbine, the amiable ex-husband of Cybill Shepherd on the sitcom Cybill, and Alvin Masterson on The Guardian. On film he portrayed the apostle Thomas in Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ.
And on Broadway he performed in Lost in Yonkers, among other productions. In 1995 he received an Emmy nomination for his guest role as an ailing cardiac patient on NBC's ER. He has recently made recurring appearances on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Fox's House, M.D. A native of Passaic, N.J., he says entertainment and social justice are blended in his DNA.
In the 1960s he was highly involved in the civil rights movement and protesting the Vietnam War. He first became active in union politics as a New York stage actor. He recalls earning his Actors' Equity card as "one of the proudest moments of my life" and became even more active after former U.S. President Ronald Reagan fired striking air traffic controllers. Rosenberg first ran for the national board of Screen Actors Guild in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.

|A systematic review of mercury ototoxicity.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22729255 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Mercury is neurotoxic, and numerous studies have confirmed its ototoxic effect. However, the diagnosis and follow-up of mercury exposure require understanding the pathophysiology of the chemical substance. Based on a systematic literature review, this study aimed to demonstrate whether mercury is ototoxic and to analyze its mechanism of action on the peripheral and central auditory system, in order to contribute to the diagnosis and follow-up of exposure. This was a systematic review of studies published on the effects of mercury exposure on the auditory system. The full text of the studies and their methodological quality were analyzed. The review identified 108 studies published on the theme, of which 28 met the inclusion criteria. All the articles in the analysis showed that mercury exposure is ototoxic and produces peripheral and/or central damage. Acute and long-term exposure produces irreversible damage to the central auditory system. Biomarkers were unable to predict the relationship between degree of mercury poisoning and degree of lesion in the auditory system.

Grace and Andrew lives in West Virginia, but both of them met and were engaged in New Zealand (where Andrew originally lived).Both of them knew already that some of their guests would be travelling half-way around to world no matter where the wedding was going to be held so they decided on having a Bohemian barn wedding along the river banks of New River George. It was really important for them to maximize the wedding experience as this would be one of the few moments that their families from American and New Zealand would actually meet for the very first time. That's why they thought of having a 3 day affair where everyone could enjoy and relax while in the process of getting to know each other. I really like all the Boho fabrics as well as other whimsical elements incorporated on the design. I also love the bride's Grace Love Lace wedding gown which she bought all the way from the land down under. Here's what the couple can say about their inspiration for the wedding:
Our idea of the wedding came from some of the things we both love while maintaining the rustic feel and the wooden settings while planning on the design. We tried to keep all the colors as soft and natural as possible. Basically, our goal was to let everyone feel the coziness of West Virginia and have a wonderful family bonding experience. You can see all the aspects of being eclectic, random, fun, casual, adventurous, and outgoing on the wedding which really defined what we are as a couple.
Many thanks to Keary Dee for providing all these pretty photos of the wedding celebration and best wishes to Andrew and Grace!
All the bridesmaids were allowed to wear the dress of their choice from Free People and each of them were given crystal necklaces by Grace so that they could all wear them on her big day.
Our choice of music – Processional: "Child" by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, Recessional: "Follow The Sun" by Xavier Rudd, First Dance: "Just A Boy" by Angus and Julia Stone
The scenic views along the West Virginia riverbanks provided a perfect backdrop for all the pictures on the wedding. I simply admire these cute post-ceremony photos of Grace and Andrew…
From Grace… I love everything that has Gypsy, Moroccan, and Indian styles so I incorporated these elements on the garlands and in the table settings. My sisters had so much fun gathering old bottles from the many antique shops in West Virginia and my brother made us this antler chandelier so that we could dance underneath it. I was also able to use some of the old items from my home and all of these had a great sentimental value to me.
The couple worked with Jessica Sloane and she was able to provide them with some design assistance even if she's far away. This is a great idea for those who are about to get married on a remote location but couldn't afford to hire a stylist to help with the designing chores for the wedding day.
Our most favorite part of the wedding – Exchanging our vows would have to be the most significant part of the wedding for us. I saw the emotion just by looking at Andrew's eyes and word cannot express what it meant to me. I was happy to be married with my best friend. The silent moments we had as we both hold each other hands while the photographer was taking the pictures – that too was very awesome.
BUT… If we had to pick just one thing (it's a bit tricky)… The good times that we had with both of our families, dancing barefoot at the barn, and listening to the Americana music – These are some of the things that really made the evening unforgettable!
Wedding advice – Be true to yourself and do what you feel doing. This way, you will be happy when look back and reminisce at all these things. This is your day! You can be whatever you want to be! Focus only on what really matters and accept the fact that some things wrong at the course of the evening.

|Decision-to-delivery interval for emergency caesareans in the Aurore perinatal network.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20079963 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVES: To determine the interval between decision and delivery (DDI) for urgent and very urgent caesarean deliveries within a perinatal network, to compare the results according to maternity ward level and organisation, and to assess the impact of DDI on neonatal outcome. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective observational study in the 31 maternity units of the Aurore perinatal network (17 Level I, 12 Level II, and two Level III). The obstetric team defined the degree of urgency for the caesareans, measured the DDI, and reported neonatal outcome. RESULTS: The study includes 666 unplanned caesarean sections. The median DDI for emergency caesareans (n=365) was 48 min for Level I units, 40 min for Level II, and 22 min for Level III (P<0.05). For the very urgent caesareans (n=82), the median DDI was respectively 35, 24, and 13 min (P<0.05) and the percentage with a DDI<or=30 min were 45%, 62%, and 100% (P<0.05). The proportion of DDI<or=30 min was 0% in maternity units where obstetricians and anaesthetists were not always onsite, 67% when only the anaesthetist was always present (P<0.05) and 88% for units where both were always present. The neonate's condition did not differ significantly according to DDI. CONCLUSIONS: DDI varies very substantially according to the level and organisation of the maternity units in the Aurore network. It was not significantly correlated with neonatal outcome in our population.

Differential Diagnosis
The principal differential diagnoses are PPR in sheep and goats and bovine viral diarrhoea/mucosal disease and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis in cattle. Malignant catarrhal fever also resembles rinderpest except that it is non-contagious. Foot-and-month disease causes lesions in the month but these are primarily vesicular; in any case rinderpest does not cause lameness.
However, clinicians should not attempt to differentiate rinderpest from other diseases causing high fever, oral erosions, diarrhoea and death. All such cases should be reported as rinderpest suspect cases. Further differentiation is a matter for laboratory specialists.
It is important to emphasise that there is no fixed number of animals that have to be involved before an outbreak can be diagnosed as rinderpest. Outbreaks involving large numbers of animals do occur but they usually start after failure to recognise the index case. Therefore in its early stages an acute rinderpest outbreak consists of one case. In its later stages it may consist of hundreds.
In an endemic area most adult animals may be immune, having recovered from an earlier infection or having been vaccinated. Under these circumstances clinical disease will probably be largely (though not necessarily exclusively) confined to yearling animals that have recently lost their maternal immunity. Here we do not expect an explosive outbreak but rather a grumbling problem involving only a few animals at a time, usually with a sub-acute presentation. Finding such a situation requires an alert veterinary service.

KITV remained blacked out for Oceanic Time Warner Cable customers in Hawaii tonight, with no signs that the ABC affiliate's programming will return any time soon.
The station and about a dozen mainland sister-stations, owned by New York-based Hearst Television Inc., were blacked out on the cable system overnight due to a contract dispute with New York-based Time Warner Cable Inc.
"Time Warner Cable has terminated negotiations with our company for continued carriage of KITV," said Andrew Jackson, KITV president and general manager.
The station's broadcast continues over the air and via satellite services DirecTV and DISH Network.
KITV's local newscasts are streamed live online, Jackson said, bringing up the irony that many people will be seeing the station's programming via Oceanic Time Warner Cable's Internet service.
"That's the difference between data networks and video programming services," Jackson said.
A notice on KITV's website says that the station's carriage agreement with Time Warner expired at midnight and encourages viewers to get KITV's over-the-air signal or use DIRECTV, the DISH network or Hawaiian Telcom to get KITV's programming.
Oceanic Cable's notice says: "Hearst Television chose to black out their signals from Time Warner Cable customers rather than continue negotiations."
Time Warner Cable discourages customers from switching to satellite services, noting that similar contract disputes also can result in blackouts on those systems.
Time Warner Cable said Hearst wanted a "nearly 300 percent increase" and said their demand is "way out of line. That kind of outrageous increase is unfair to our customers and unsustainable for our business."
KITV said that "notwithstanding our best efforts to reach a new carriage agreement, we were unable to do so. As a result, unless there is a change in Time Warner's position, carriage of KITV will no longer be available to you on Time Warner systems."
Jackson and other Hearst officials say the 300 percent increase cited by TWC is "incorrect."
Hearst apologized for "this inconvenience" and thanked viewers for their support.
Hearst owns 29 television stations, including KITV. The dispute involves stations in markets where the group's over-the-air signals are carried by Time Warner cable networks.
