CAIRO, July 30 (AFP) - With Hosni Mubarak's re-election a foregone conclusion, the toughest battle of Egypt's first contested presidential poll is being fought over party symbols, a major vote-winner in a country where illiteracy is rampant. Each candidate wishing to run in the September 7 election for the country's top job has to choose the symbol that will appear alongside his name on the ballots.
But only one will be allowed to use the coveted moon crescent (hilal in Arabic), an Islamic symbol several candidates, including to the two frontrunners, want as the logo for their campaign.
Ayman Nur, who heads the Ghad (Tomorrow) party and is presented as the most serious obstacle to President Mubarak's re-election, was the first to enter the electoral commission when it opened on Friday.
He registered his candidacy and therefore claimed his right to using the Islamic crescent as his symbol.
Yet Mubarak's ruling National Democratic Party, which has used the crescent as its symbol in previous elections, claimed that the president's lawyer, Mohammed Dakruri, was the first to register at the electoral commission.
An AFP photographer at the commission said Mubarak's representative did not show up until several hours after Nur completed his registration process. "It's a huge scandal, the crescent is ours," Nur's wife and spokeswoman Gamila Ismail told AFP. She added that if her husband was barred from using the crescent, he would opt for the palm tree.
Three other candidates who were less swift to file their candidacies also chose the crescent: Osama Shaltut, Sabri Abdel Aziz and Wahed al-Uksuri, all of them representing minor parties.So it seems the electoral commission, which has been accused of being stacked by presidential cronies, has its first scandal. Let's see how it resolves it.
Anti-Mubarak demonstration attacked by police
30 July
Central Cairo was a military zone today. Armies of anti-riot police and goons dressed in civilian clothing made sure no demonstration took place today. When I arrived in Tahrir square at 5:45 pm, it was evident from the unsually high volume of security forces (special forces, anti-riot police and others) on every single street, square, building and every platform in tahrir and all the streets that lead up to it.
It was around just beofre 7pm when saw police officers order these thugs to arrest "him" in Bab El-Luq st. Him turned out to be my friend and brave activist Wael Khalil. I wrote a mini profile of him a couple of weeks ago here.
Kifaya big names like Amin Iskandar and George Ishak were arrest in front of the Nasserist Party headquarters but releasted a couple of hours later. By the time I got there at around 6, there were hundreds of thugs running in organized groups and arresting lots of young men. Anti-riot police stood there watching while high ranking police officers issued their ordrers to the thugs (who were armed with short but thick truncheons).
I've never seen anything like this before. Not even on 21 March 2003 when thugs were set loose on the demonstrators in downtown cairo. The Security apparatus today has announced its new election policy which obviously wont tolerate demosntrations- at any cost.
Until writing this email, Wael and other activists were still in detention.
O'REILLY: Now, the problem that many of us — I'm a Christian. I'm a Catholic. And the problem that we have is that our enemy, our primary enemy, is centered around Allah. And most media people sweep that under the carpet.
GRAHAM: Yes.
O'REILLY: But if Islam didn't exist, there wouldn't be a war on terror. That's the fact. Now, we know that Islam has been hijacked by extremists and that most Muslims aren't terrorists and don't wish us ill. We know that. But how do you deal with an enemy that is religious-centric?None of this is a surprise, of course, but what pisses me off the most about this exchange is that O'Reilly comes back to is obsession media conspiracy to hide the fact that the people behind recent acts of terrorism are Muslims. Does he live on a different planet? Is the American media really hiding the religion of the perpetrators? I seem to remember cover pictures of Muslims with the headlines "Why do they hate us?" right after 11 September. The funny thing is, as I went to read the transcript of interview, the sidebar on the Fox News site had the following link to a video: If you can find the segment (there's no way to link directly to it), watch it. It's incredible in that you actually have Bill O'Reilly saying things like:
"Why does Britain let so many Muslims - if you go to London, Edgware Road and other areas of London - it's just packed with dense Muslim neighborhood , which just breed this kind of contempt for Western society. Why do they let them in?"You can catch the whole segment if you go the page linked above. Pretty sickening.
Brothers and sisters,
I speak to you today from the Al-Masa'ee al-Mashkoura School in the Menoufeya Governorate where I completed my high school education. I speak to you after a short visit to Quowesna where I made a stop at the emergency hospital and was informed about the renovations made to the Central Hospital. I was delighted to see proof of the attention we devote to upgrading our educational and health care system. I was especially pleased to see these real-life examples occuring in the Egyptian countryside and serving its people, proof ouf our dedication to promoting out rural communities and upgrading the services and infrastructure available to both Upper and Lower Egyptian governorates. This includes our programme that aims at gradually finalising the planning zones for our villages so as to absorb the population increase in a way that strikes a balance between meeting the citizen's demands and right to housing, while protecting our wealth of agricultural land.
The great satisfaction I felt with what I saw today is, however, marred by a deep occupation with the current status of the Arab regioon, the critical phase that is passing through, and the worrisome developments it witnesses. Namely; the recent developments on the Palestinian level, the situation in Iraq and the many challenges that might drive the region to dangerous paths.
There exists now an urgent need to formulate a common Arab vision with regards to these developments and their ramifications upon the causes and supreme interests of our Arab states and peoples.
With this in mind, and in the framework of consultations and coordination with our brotherly Arab leaders and the contacts made by the Arab League, I hereby call for a convening of an extraordinary Arab summit, suggest to convene it in Sharm el Sheikh on Wednesday 3rd of August and that it be preceeded by a meeting of Arab foreign ministers on the day before, to consider a report by the secretary general on the current situation in the region and the formulation of a common Arab stance towards the dangers and challenges facing our nation. I am fully confident that this coming extraordinary summit will be capable of crystallizing a strong Arab position that reflects the determination of the Arab states and peoples to overcome the current challenges, and to achieve the peace and stability that all Arabs long for.
Brother and Sisters,
While on my way down here, I recalled the memories of Kafr Moselha and my first steps on a long and difficult road. Kafr Moselha was, at the beginning of the 20th century, a rare example of an Egyptian village that challenged illiteracy and prevailed, to such an extent that the people of Al-Menofeya took to calling it Kafr Paris. Joint efforts form the villages high and middle classes were combined to provide education for its lower income population, until no one was left illiterate. This was achieved at a time in our contemporary history that witnessed the marginalization of the overwhelming majority of the Egyptian people in the villages of both Upper and Lower Egypt, and their ensuing deprivation from health care and educational services.
When I joined the Al-Masa'ee al-Mashkoura high school in Shibeen el Kom to complete my education .. I experienced yet another example of solidarity: the active contribution of Egyptian civil society and its NGOs. The Al-Masa'ee al-Mashkoura Society was the pioneer of all Non-governmental organisations in Egypt, created by the principal landowners of al-Menoufeya on 1829, opening its high-school-the fifth school established in Egypt - in Shibeen el Kom in 1904. The Society has then established elementary schools in all the cities in al-Menoufeya, amongst them the first elementary school for girls in the governorate, preceded in Egypt only by al-Saneya girls' school in Cairo. This leading NGO was built through efforts and contributions from a number of honest and loyal Egyptians such as Abdel Aziz Abou Hussein, Ahmed Abdel-Ghafaar, Mohamed Elwy al-Gazar, and Abdel- Aziz Habib. Its activities were met by the needs of a society hungry for science and education, both of which had only ever been accessible to a limited affluent citizens.
I reminisced about memories of el-Sheikh Ga'far Quran School; the mosque of Abdel Aziz Fahmy; the view of the fields at the time of cotton harvest and the three kilometre journey that I used to traverse in order to reach this reputable school where we met today. Many things have changed in Quowesna and Shibeen el Kom and the roads leading to it. The narrow alleys have been transfomed into wide streets, and the sandy, beaten paths have been replace by a modern network of developed roads. Electrical power, water, sewage, telephone lines, health care and educational services have become indispensable necessities, and lead to legitimate aspirations for more.
I recall all this ... and more. I remember where we have been, and see where we have come and for that I thank God. What I saw today is an example of many other accomplishments that we have achieved, in hamlets, villages, towns and cities, all over the different governortaes of Egypt. I recall the long journey we have made together and the countless accomplishments we have achieved.
With this in mind, I take more pride in our present and greater certainity in our future. I am filled with a stronger belief in our ability to create a brighter future for our children and our grand children. I am more convinced of the significance of the role that civil society and NGO's can play as partners in building this future; a role that we urgently need in our society today. A role that is guided and inspired by those great figures of Egypt who have contributed both physical effort and money establishing their own educational institutions in al-Monoufeya 50 years before the first government school was established in this governorate.
Brothers and sisters ...
I owe much to this respectable school from where I speak to you today. I owe much to the early years of my childhood in Kafr Moselha. I have upheld the principles and values that I learned here throughout my life. I upheld them when I left to Cairo after attending high school. I upheld them in my mind and in my heart, when I joined the Military Academy and the Airforce Academy thereafter. Throughout my service in the Armed Forces and the battles we fought, I have become as much a part of these principles and values as they have become a part of me. I have upheld these scruples untill, and since the moment I assumed political responsibility, first as vice president, then as the president of Egypt.
I have witnessed firsthand the Egyptian peasant's string attachment to his land, and have borne in my heart a deep conviction of its sanctity and the necessity of defending it, even if doing so requires sacrificing everything that is dear.
My admiration for the endeavours and activities of Al Masa'ee al Mashkoura society in serving the people of Al Menoufiya turned into a strong desire to contribute with similar effort in serving the Egyptians nationwide. My love for Egypt was inspired by the history lessons taught in my old school; lessons I took while the country was still under foreign occupation.
From that moment on. I dreamt of Egypt ridding itself of the occupation once and of all, and return to its old glory ad the days of its renaissance and rich civilisation. I experienced at my home, my school, and the mosque of Kafr Moselha the spirit of true and tolerant Islam, deepening within me my conviction of the importance of national unity between Egyptian Muslims and Copts and that religion is for God and the nation for all.
I have seen the Egyptian peasant wearing his blue galabiya, I have witnessed the el qersh project to overcome barefoot phenomenon, and through that I have become dedicated to tackling the plight of the poor. I was inspired by his perservance and resilience in cultivating his land through hot summers and cold winters, which instilled in me the values of persistence and determination. I have learned in this school, and over the years, that our fate is in our hands and not in the hands of random chance and luck. I have learned the crucial difference between trusting God and passivity.
Ladies and gentlemen,
We have passed together through difficult years, faced many challenges and accomplished many achievements. We completed the liberation of Sinai, refused any compromise on Taba, and thus regained every inch of our national territory. We waged, and continue to wage, a battle against terrorism and extremism, with the threat they represent to the stability of our nation and the lives, livelihoods and unity of our sons. We restore our relations with the sisterly Arab countries, and the headquarters of the Arab League found its way back to Cairo. We forged ties of friendship and cooperation with all countries based on equality and mutual respect. We preserved the peace and avoided being drawn into situations that could threaten it. We were not dragged into adventures that would jeopardise the lives and prosperity of this nation's sons. We did not acquiesce to the policies of alliances or axes. We refused any foreign presence on Egyptian soil. In our relations with the nations of the world, and with the only remaining superpower, we were steadfast in preserving Egypt's sovereignty and independent will. We moved with confidence and determination in our support for the Palestinian cause, and assuming Egypt's responsibilities and leading role in the region.
On the education front, twenty million students were enlisted in pre-university and university education in more than 35,000 schools and more than 500 faculties and higher institutions. The number of tourists that flock to Egypt yearly is now eight times the number it once was. To show our deep and sincere concern for, responsibility towards people with limited income, we have maintained commodity, fuel and electric subsidies, so that prices of such goods remain within their reach. We have expanded our social security network. At this point in time, 52 per cent of our population is covered by health insurance, more than 18 million citizens are covered by social insurance, and 9 million families are covered by pensions and the social security network. We have accomplished all this and what is more, we have accomplished this over two decades that have witnessed a population increase of thirty million.
All this, we have experienced together, and all the while I have had a firm belief that paths of political, economic, and social reform are inseparable. I have always been convinced of the need for political reform to continuously develop the institutional framework for our political system.
My conviction in this regard emanates from a vision that has constantly accompanied me since the first day I assumed office; a vision that foresaw a modern Egypt; free citizens in a democratic society; a society that expands the scope of liberties and enhances the participation of its citizens in political life; a society that builds a democracy the pillars and practice of which are enhanced day after day. We have succeeded in establishing the main pillars of a democratic system; institutional and legal frameworks that ensure the constitutional supervision through the Supreme Constitutional Court; that guarantee the independence of the judiciary and uphold the rule of law; enhance political pluralism and participation; protect civil rights and liberities; protect human rights; and open the way for a free press that enjoys the right to free expression for all political viewpoints in society.
Brothers and Sisters,
Before God and the nation, and before you, I feel satisfied with all that we have accomplished together towards these goals. However, we should not loose sight of what remains before us to achieve. We still have problems and challenges that demand greater efforts; poor citizens who need our help; youth who expect job opportunities; education that needs further improvement. We need more schools, hospitals, and social services. We need more reforms for our economic system, and our constitutional and legislative framework. We still have before us many challenges and much hard work to be done. What compounds the critical nature of the coming phase are the worrying developments in our region, and the ongoing unprecedented global transformations, as well as the forces of terrorism that continue to threaten us.
We are approaching a new and critical phase, a decisive juncture in our contemporary history; a critical turning point in our national endeavor that presents fateful choices for the future; a choice between moving our journey forward, or halting its progress; a choice that affirms our progress towards completing our democracy or hindering it; a choice between enhancing the strength of Egypt and accelerating our steps towards the future, or faltering through hesitation. It will be for Egypt's people to make their decision on these choices during the upcoming Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
I am confident of the choice I favor. I choose a strong and democratic Egypt; an Egypt that strives towards the future with free Egyptians. I choose to cross a new threshold that is now before us, and to complete the journey that our people started and continued thourgh the last fifty years.
Fellow Citizens,
My vision for the future will be realized with steps that will conclude the development of our democracy. This vision will be realized with yet further constitutional and legislative reforms based upon a strong foundation of public rights and freedoms guaranteed by the constitution. Our constitutional provisions have established a system of rights and freedoms guaranteed to all citizens according to the standards universally acknowledged in the international human rights instruments. We will always adhere to this system. Our constitutional provisions uphold the rule of law, equal rights and obligations for all, respect for personal freedoms and sancity of private life. These provisions have ensured religious freedoms, freedom of expression, and other basic freedoms. Amending article 76 of the constitution came to emphasize its preeminence, to entrench the Republican system, to strengthen its pillars and to open new doors for further complementary constitutional and legislative reforms.
This amendment has taken us to the threshold of a new stage, where we can implement these reforms according to a vision based upon principles stemming from a deep conviction of the necessities and requirements of this stage. I spoke of these principles here in Menooufeya when I first requested the amendment earlier this year. Now that I have announced my intention to apply for nomination and run for president in the coming elections, and should I gain the support and mandate of the people for a new term, I will work with the Parliament in order to adopt the constitutional and legislative amendments necessary for the realization of this vision with all the reform it requires, within the context of a national dialogue that I call for and encourage.
These reform will reshape the relationship between the legislative and executive authorities in a way that creates a greater balance between them and strenghtens the Palliament's role in ensuring oversight and accountability.
The reforms will also reinforce the cabinet's role, widen its mandate, and further the scope of government participation with the president in the duties of the executive authority.
These constitutional and legislative reforms will provide the best electoral system which guarantees an increased chance for party representation in our representative councils, and will consolidate the presence and representation of women in parliament.
I aim to work on constitutional and legislative reforms that will bring about a new and enhanced concept for local administration; strengthening its powers and furthering decentralisation.
I shall seek constitutional reforms that give us the right to choose the country's economic activity , social justice, property rights in all their forms and work rights.
I shall put forward constitutional rights to choose the country's economic orientation, while simultaneously maintaining free economic activity, social justice, property rights in all its forms, and work rights.
I shall put forward constitutional reforms that will entail further checks on the poweres of president, under the constitution during times of threat which endanger the safety of the nation or hinder its institutions from performing their constitutional functions
Fellow Citizens ...
The present constant threats of terrorism require constitutional and legislative reforms that will enable the community to protect its children, its gains, and its future by the rule and deciciveness of law. Thus far, we have had to work under the emergency law due to tragic circumstances that we are all aware of.
The necessity for such a law has prevailed in light of the need to counter a terrorism that still besieges us, targets the souls of our citizens, terrifies our people and harms our national economy. I renew my vow to you that the nation's security and safety of its citizens will remain at the top of my priorities.
Our battle against terrorism and the threat it represents to the people and future of Egypt will preserve. We will continue to confront terrorism with all our persistence and determination, never faltering and never relinquishing the nation's security and stability.
The emergency law has, to a great extent, minimised terrorist threats and helped preempt many terrorist plans during the past years. Many country's have recently passed comprehensive laws to combat terrorism. Time is ripe for us to follow suite during the upcoming period. There is a need for a firm and a decisive law that eliminates terrorism and uproots its threats. A law that protects national security and ensures stability. A law that provides a legislative substitute to combat terrorism and replace the current emergency law.
Fellow Citizens:
This vision I propose goes beyond this primary priority of political reform to deal with other priorities and problems. Unemployment, housing, prices, means of transport, cost of medical care and medications, sufferings of the retired and those who live in slums. I am not offering words and promises, but a pledge to implement this vision.
Achieving national goals takes more than words and promises. Words do not defeat terrorism, can not offer jobs. Words cannot build a school or a hospital, neither can they build a free democratic society. I am committed to continue building a modern society; a growing economy; free citizens in a democratic nation. A police force that enforces law and respect human rights. A strong Egypt, proud of its armed forces, stability, modernity, regional role and international high standing. Proud of its institutions and competitiveness.
I'm committed to continuing economic and social development that ensures job creation for the youth, higher income for the families, a decent life for the retired and better services for the citizens. Together we shape a new tomorrow that supports the aspirations of the middle class, protect the vulnerable, supports women and single parents and secure the future of our sons and grand sons.
I will seek to gain your trust and support for a new term. Should you bestow upon me the honour of continuing to lead the next phase of our journey, we will embark together on the next stage, with its transformations, challenges and hopes, confident that we are on the right path.
We will never compromise on the security and stability of the nation.
We will guard its supreme interests and its free will. We will never permit a foreign presence on our soil or external interference in our affairs. We will not be dragged into gambling with Egypt's security or the lives and future of its people. We will not surrender to the threat of terrorism or appease it. We will not compromise on the safety and security of our citizens.
Together we will complete the tenets of our democracy and the liberalisation of our economy. We will preserve the gains of our farmers and workers, while protecting the needy. We will open the doors of prosperity and employment for our youth. We shall affirm Egypt's role, both in the region and worldwide. We will pave the way for our future generations to raise the banner of a nation that has found its way towards the future; generations ready to take their turn to lead.
I extend my hand to you, renewing my pledge to God, to the nation and each and every one of you, to be as you have always known me, faithful to the interests of Egypt, able to shoulder this responsibility with dedication and integrity, discharging its duties and bearing its burdens with honour and sincerity.
Your troubles are my troubles, your concerns are my concerns, your ambitions are my ambitions, We are joined by a common vision for a future that holds prosperity for all, and a journey that we embarked upon together and will conclude with the help and the blessing of God Almighty.
When you were asked today at the Cairo address about the Muslim Brotherhood, your response was also that the United States will not engage with this group. Yet, the Muslim Brotherhood has, for a generation now, renounced terrorism and, in fact, last year issued an 11-page statement of principles in which it embraced parliamentary democracy, free elections and even universal suffrage. So how can you reconcile the refusal to engage at all with this group with the reasoning that you give for not engaging with, say, Hamas -- Hamas and Hezbollah?Or this comment by Bush when asked about Hezbollah: "I like the idea of people running for office. It's a positive effect when you run for office." Or this comment by Condi Rice: "I don't mean to underestimate the impact of radical Islamists having a say in the political process, but remember that the political process also has an effect on those who run in it."
The allusion is often made to America's failures in Vietnam; the better analogy is the Russians in Afghanistan. A generation has passed, and the Americans in Baghdad in 2005 have become like the Russians in Kabul in 1985 - mighty foreign warriors, armed to the teeth, technologically superior, full of determination and staying power, clear on their mission and their resolve, willing to kill hundreds at a time ... but unable to walk into a local grocery store and buy a chocolate bar from the people they are trying to liberate and protect.A very apt analogy, and a rather worrying one considering the failure to win the Afghan war was perhaps one of the biggest factors in the downfall of the Soviet Union.

Thoughts of a SojournerThoughts of a Sojourner by Tigueron
So many people blame God for all of their afflictions
Even though they know they've never made him part of their decisions
Angry and confused, they may say "God, why is it that you hate me!?"
But have you even opened the book with all His answers lately?
If you think giving God away (removing) so that you can make a bad relationship work is a good idea, then there is no limit to what you'll give away to try and make that person you put above God happy. You'll give away your self-worth, dignity, integrity, and everything else you had of value because you can't allow something to fail that through disobedience you invested so much into it. You don't want to be wrong, you'll give anything to prove that you made the right choice. You've removed God because you felt He was restricting your ability to please the person you are with. In the end you find out there is nothing you can give a person to satisfy them, your pride took you to a place you'd never thought you'd be but glory to God, tha
Much More Than Entertainers (Poem)Much More Than Entertainers (Poem) by Tigueron
You were never called to be just a simple entertainer
When you have the fire of God you can be a world changer
But if you end up trading God to gain the world's favor
The truth is that you've placed your eternal destiny in danger
Do not be conformed to the world, tempted by its temporary pleasures
It's just a way to hold you back from discovering life's true treasures
You can love the world, but it'll rip you apart, becoming your oppressor
But glory to God, the Lord is always willing to put you back together
You can choose to entertain the world and be forgotten a few years later
Or you can change the lives of total strangers, and always be remembered
However, keep in mind when doing right you'll always have the haters
But how you deal with them now, can leave them changed forever
To whom much is given, much is required
You've been given much influence, use that to fulfill God's desires
With God at the top, you'll keep reaching higher and higher
May the Lord put in your spirit an unqu
Learning to Live (Poem)Learning to Live (Poem) by Tigueron
Humility for me was never a virtue, nor one of my strengths
In vanity I lived, in vanity would have been my end
Reprobate is a lifestyle, usurped into the minds of man
How could we value others, when selfishness is our best friend
The same tired cycle day after day
Blinded in ignorance we can't see how we're enslaved
We've idolized the creation and the Creator we've put away
As if the creation was the source from whence we came
But glory to God a plan is always in place
That brings us back to the design that He originally made
Living to love Him and others is the lifestyle to strive for each day
Though impossible on our own to achieve, He made a way
Living for others, all my needs have been supplied
Through Him I've learned the real values in this life
That there's much more to life than what meets the eye
And the simple art of blessing those whom pass me by
I've learned to value what comes next
Once this body has been laid to rest
That though we mourn those who have left

Pectolitic enzyme for the treatment of heavily botrytis-affected grapes.
Endozym Antibotrytis is an enzymatic preparation with secondary activities useful to solve problems deriving from the presence of Botrytis cinerea on grapes.
This enzyme directly acts on polyphenoloxidases present in must, inactivating them and enabling to preserve both aromatic precursors and coloring matter.
The laccase present in mould-attacked grapes has a very low specificity, it solubilizes and spreads in the medium, builds stable complexes with solid particles and acts on the solid-liquid contact surface. The enzymatic oxidation of anthocyanins carried out by laccase rapidly destroys grape coloring matter and, when suitable defenses are missing, definitively destroys its structure.
The action carried out by Endozym Antibotrytis is determinant in grapes heavily attacked by grey mould, responsible for problems which can not be solved either by the only sulphur dioxide or by other technological solutions.
Endozym Antibotrytis solves the problems deriving from the presence of mould on grapes and grants the correct vinification run; the final quality of the obtained wines is preserved by the effectiveness of the suggested innovative formulation.
The positive action of the pectolitic enzyme is clearly shown even by the strong ß-glucanasic activity, enabling to disgregate glucans and therefore to facilitate the clarification of musts/wines and their following filtration.

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil (AP) — Lionel Messi scored a superb goal in stoppage time to give Argentina a 1-0 victory over Iran on Saturday and secure his team's place in the second round of the World Cup.
Iran had defended solidly throughout the game and also took the match to Argentina in the second half, creating several chances to win the Group F match and cause a tournament sensation.
But Iran was punished for those missed chances when Messi picked up the ball about 20 yards (meters) out and curled a shot into the left hand corner.

FORTALEZA, Brazil (AP) — Ghana held Germany to a 2-2 draw on Saturday despite veteran striker Miroslav Klose coming on as a substitute to tie the World Cup scoring record with the equalizer in their Group G match.
Klose now has 15 career World Cup goals, equaling the mark set by former Brazil star Ronaldo.
Klose scored the equalizer in the 71st less than two minutes after coming on, when a corner by Toni Kroos was flicked to the far post by Benedikt Hoewedes and the striker slid in to knock the ball into the roof of the net.
Mario Goetze had put Germany ahead in the 51st, but Ghana equalized three minutes later through Andre Ayew.
Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan then put the Africans ahead in the 63rd, only to see Klose cancel out his goal.
Nigeria blanks Bosnia 1-0
CUIABA, Brazil (AP) — Nigeria eliminated Bosnia-Herzegovina from World Cup contention with a 1-0 win over the tournament newcomers on Saturday, with Peter Odemwingie's first-half goal putting the African champions close to the knockout stage.
Odemwingie sealed Nigeria's first victory at a World Cup since 1998 — spanning 10 matches — by finishing from close range in the 29th minute after one of a string of powerful runs by fellow striker Emmanuel Emenike.
Bosnia faded after a bright start, during which star striker Edin Dzeko had a goal contentiously disallowed for offside, and is still without a point in Group F following a 2-1 defeat to Argentina in its opener. Dzeko had a shot deflected onto the post in the last seconds of the match.

Christopher Flowers Finds the Bloom May Be Off
(GS - Get Report) investment banker, Flowers has acquired a reputation for turning around struggling banks with help from governments. And it just so happens that the Obama administration's revamped rescue plan for the banking system intends to rely on partnering with investors interested in taking a chance on troubled financial companies.Flowers, the head of the eponymous J.C. Flowers & Co., hopes to see a future in which "low-life grave dancers like me make a tremendous fortune out of the mess," he said at a recent breakfast hosted by Source Communications. He has already started positioning himself for the recovery, teaming up with a group of investors to buy IndyMac from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for $13.9 billion. And more recently, rumors have circled that Flowers is looking at an investment in Bank of America (BAC - Get Report), which has been hounded by concerns about the adequacy of its capital reserves as the credit crisis has lingered. But questions over the role private equity will play in the government's attempts to address the banking crisis are still being resolved, and will be critical to Flowers' future impact on the banking industry, says Rodgin Cohen, a high-powered bank merger attorney and partner at Sullivan & Cromwell. "I think he will be quite important, relatively, because he's a guy who really understands it, focuses on it, and is very shrewd," Cohen says. "The question as to how important he will be absolutely is going to depend in large part on where the Federal Reserve is going to come out on private equity investing in banks." Before they decide, Fed officials might want to talk with their counterparts in Japan about Long Term Credit Bank, which Flowers and a group of investors bought from the Japanese government in 2000 after it failed in 1998. LTCB, now known as Shinsei, or "new life," made Flowers a fortune and became known as one of the most successful private equity deals ever.This should be a great time to be Christopher Flowers.

I could easily sum this one up in two words: LOVE IT.
Simon is five, and he has known his letter sounds for awhile but blending was difficult, almost impossible, and just not happening. Reading Eggs filled the gap from letter sounds to blending and reading words! I now have a reader. Here are some program highlights:
Quality Animation
Amazing Variety of Games
Each day I'm amazed at the new games Simon gets to experience while learning to read.
Fabulously Motivating
This program is designed to keep kids wanting more. At the end of each lesson a critter hatches out of an egg. Simon wants to discover and collect all the critters, so this keeps him reading.
The more kids play, the more golden eggs they earn. They can use the golden eggs to play games in the arcade or to buy fun things for their house and character.
Here is Simon's guy (pirate-dragon-army tank style, anyone?) and his house.
Reading Right Away!
The child starts reading words before they learn all the letter sounds. In lesson 3 the child learns the word I and the sound /am/. This enables the child to start reading words very quickly — what a wonderful confidence booster!
Even though I heart-heart-heart this program, there are some things I don't like:
1. Some of the words in the games (zee and queu) are irrelevant for this age group.
2. In one activity the word wing was read by sounding out each letter individually. I think /ing/ should be taught as one sound. I've had a few other minor phonics issues as well.
3. The biggest annoyance is the inconsistency of the sound throughout the activities. One game is too loud and we practically pop out of our seats while the next might be very, very quiet. We are constantly fiddling with the volume control to keep it at a comfortable setting.
Other Things You Should Know
There is a placement test, but I started Simon at the beginning (even though he already knew his letter sounds). I'm glad I did this.
Reading Eggs has FREE activity sheets to go with each lesson. We used a few of these, but I didn't like the FULL color pages. I wish they were simply black and white.
Simon and I have done the majority of the lessons together. I think this has factored into Simon's success. I have him slow down and really read words rather than just guess. He does get time each day to play on his own (revisiting old lessons to earn more eggs, playing in the Playroom, shopping at Reggie's, decking out his house, and having fun at Puzzle Park — there is SO much to do on Reading Eggs!).
You can check it out for yourself by signing up for a free two week trial. The monthly subscription is $9.95, or you buy 6 months for $49.95 or 12 months for $75.00.
Read what other crew members are saying about Reading Eggs on the TOS blog.
Disclaimer: I received a free subscription to Reading Eggs in exchange for an honest review.
We love this program too! It was worth the money that we spent! Sign up for a 2 week free trial first to see if it is a good fit for your child!

Joanne Tompkins (University of Queensland)
Debates about exactly what the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre or the neighbouring Rose Theatre in London looked like in Early Modern England have raged through theatre and architectural circles for a good deal of the twentieth century. The discovery of the foundations of the Rose Theatre in 1989 suggested that many of the questions about this venue would be answered: exactly how big it was, how many seating galleries there were, what the shape of the stage was, exactly where it was positioned, and what the sightlines were for both actors and audience. Useful though the excavations were, they did not produce the requisite answers for all these questions. A virtual model of the Rose does, however, provide a much better sense of how this would have appeared and, most likely, how it operated.
This paper demonstrates models of two historical theatrical venues in London: the Rose Theatre and the Boar's Head Theatre, built in Whitechapel in 1599. It suggests that tools such as virtual reality can be much more useful in dealing with core questions from theatre history than previously thought. Virtual models are much more productive than merely providing environments for games and entertainment.
This paper takes advantage of Ortelia, a virtual reality modelling project which creates 3D virtual reality models of real cultural spaces. While one aspect of Ortelia's operations is concerned with creating absolutely accurate models of contemporary venues such as art galleries, museums, and theatres, another investigates the scope for re-creating cultural venues that no longer exist. The investigation of such spaces through a virtual lens can be a valuable tool in better understanding theatre spatiality, architecture, and history. Further, these models offer much more functionality and detail than do Theatron's, the closest project working in roughly the same area.
About the speaker
Joanne Tompkins has taught Drama in the School of English, Media Studies and Art History at UQ since 1996. She is currently Head of School. She researches spatial theory and theatre, as well as intercultural, multicultural, and post-colonial theatre. She is the author of Post Colonial Drama (with Helen Gilbert), Women's Intercultural Performance (with Julie Holledge), and Unsettling Space: Contestations in Contemporary Australian Theatre. She has also produced Ortelia, a research tool to enable the analysis of theatre and gallery spaces through virtual reality.

Hi Jennifer, I just wanted to Thank you for sharing your life in this blog. I love how real you are and appreciate your plastic surgery post and your wedding post. Your Life/style is absolutely amazing. I just finished watching your wedding video on Vimeo and was in tears it ws absolutely beautiful. I am from Long Island and I would love to have my wedding there. That castle was truly fit for a Queen on her wedding day. I wanted to know though did you do something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue?, If so I noticed a gold pinky ring on your finger was that one of the items. I usually notice detail and was wondering because usually don't have any rings on their fingers :D. just want you to know I defiantly am a believer of the secret as well and know how powerful the law of attraction can be. :D. Continue to have faith and be blessed. Take careReplyDelete
Hi Jennifer,ReplyDelete
i just wanna let you know that i am following your blog recently and that you're amazing!
I am wondering, how tall are you? :)
Best wishes and greetings from Montenegro!
Jennifer, you are great on this show. Good luck with your business!ReplyDelete
How many people have told you that you have a twin on "Shahs of Sunset" Her name is LillyReplyDelete
Maybe ur related, u both have the swimsuit lines as well, but she's also a lawyer.
Both of you are gorgeous! WOW, book ends.... She's Persian, are you?
Hey , nice pics jennifer if you want more pics please move in my website : http://www.iqphoto.com/cityhall/ReplyDelete
Hi Jenn-ReplyDelete
I just want to say this, after a few days of pondering whether or not to, because I don't want you, or anyone else on here to think I am some weirdo... normally I don't do things like this, but I just have a strong feeling that I need to. Recently on instagram, one of your photos had shown up on the 'most liked' page, or most popular picture page (whatever it is) so I clicked it because the picture intrigued me. I was amazed as to how much your life reflects that of what I dream my life would be like; a fairy tale. So I did some research to find out WHO you were. After watching an episode of the Trophy Wives show, and reading your blog, it is amazing as to how 'real' of a person you are. I would just like to take this time and say, that you are a gorgeous woman, and it is awesome that you share your life so openly like that, and seem to still be yourself. Take care, and best of luck as a new mother.
You are PERFECT!!!ReplyDelete
Hi Jenn,ReplyDelete
You are very inspirational to me. I myself am 26 going on 27 and am a fourth year in medical school out in the midwest. My fiance and I will be applying to residency next year, hopefully matching in Southern California where we hail from. I myself was born and raised in Orange County and being out here in the very conservative midwest, looking very ethnic and fashion forward has been a nightmare (especially in medical school where all the other bitchy med students make you feel like you have to dress down and wear not a stitch of make-up to be taken seriously). I fell into depression, developed panic disorder, anxiety--you name it. I lost too much weight with all of that and have been trying to find myself again by going back to what I love--make-up hair and fashion. I just saw the TV special on trophy wives yesterday for the first time, and it made me feel like my love for glamour and glitter isn't a CRIME!!!! Being Persian myself, I love to go big or go home (as you put it), so seeing girls like you and Lily G makes me feel less alien. I feel so empowered to be a hot lady doctor in 5 inch heels! Your blog made me feel so good--I actually put on make-up for my work-out today!!!! Keep it coming girl. There are people who really, really appreciate what you have to offer!!! xoxo
jennifer you cannot even tell you have scoliosis. i have the same issue with my spine since i was about 10. makes me feel uncomfortable in wearing typically anything, any tips?ReplyDelete
God you have such a great body!ReplyDelete
Fabulous! You are an inspiration so many girls!
Keep rocking!

respect to you for you great body!!ReplyDelete
and respect to the plastic surgeon who made ur face !!

Hello Yasu,
It sounds like you are getting some unexpected activity when using the undo command. I recommend steps 5-10 of the following article to help you isolate what could be causing the issue:
Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics
- Test with no audio driver
You can isolate issues with audio devices by starting Logic Pro X with no audio driver. Press and hold the Control key immediately after Logic Pro X starts to open. A dialog asking whether you wish to launch audio drivers will appear. Click "No" and see if Logic Pro X starts up normally. If Logic Pro X launches with no audio driver, check with the audio device manufacture for an updated driver. There could also be an issue with an Audio Unit plug-in. For more information see Logic Pro, Logic Express, MainStage: Disable or remove Audio Unit plug-ins to troubleshoot issues.
- Test using the computer's built-in audio hardware
If you use external audio hardware, try setting Logic Pro X to use the built-in audio hardware on your computer. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio from the main menu and click the Devices tab. Choose the built in audio hardware from the Input Device and Output Device pop-up menus. If the issue is resolved using built-in audio, refer to the manufacturer of your audio interface.
- Start Logic with a different project template
Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Logic. If you use a template, damage to the template can cause unexpected results with any project subsequently created from it. To create a completely fresh project choose File > New from Template and select Empty Project in the template selector window. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
Sometimes, issues with the data in a project can be repaired. Open an affected project and open the Project Information window with the Project Information key command. Click Reorganize Memory to attempt to repair the project. When you reorganize memory, the current project is checked for any signs of damage, structural problems, and unused blocks. If any unused blocks are found, you will be able to remove these, and repair the project. Project memory is also reorganized automatically after saving or opening a project.
- Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
- In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
- Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
- Press the Go button.
- Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
- If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
- Restart the computer.
- Isolate an issue by using another user account
For more information see Isolating an issue by using another user account.
- Reinstall Logic Pro X
Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Pro X. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application, then reinstall Logic Pro X. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Pro X. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Pro X.
- In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
- Locate the Logic Pro X application and drag it to the trash.
- Open the Mac App Store
- Click the Purchases button in the Mac App Store toolbar.
- Sign in to the Mac App Store using the Apple ID you first used to purchase Logic Pro X.
- Look for Logic Pro X in the list of purchased applications in the App Store. If you don't see Logic Pro X in the list, make sure it's not hidden. See Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases for more information.
- Click Install to download and install Logic Pro X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
- Test with no audio driver

December 20, 2011
Our lucky winner is #10, Diana, who says, "I can't wait to instill the love of reading in my LO! And as a tech junkie – I love this combination!"
Congratulations, Diana. We hope you and your little one enjoy both the books and the apps!
Kids seem born with technical savvy these days. They can, for instance, pick up an iPhone with their chubby little fingers and be surfing YouTube, playing a video game, or texting your boss in no time. This is charming until your kid stumbles onto a risqué rap video, picks up some odd vocabulary from an inappropriate video game, or sends your boss a close-up picture of her nose (or worse) via MMS.
Not to worry. Our friends at Harper Collins Children's Imprints have a solution: fabulous children's books and apps to go along with them.
In celebration of the season, they are giving away a super-duper "Unwrap an App" prize package that will consist of 12 book-themed apps AND the actual, "real world" books (if applicable). One lucky winner will receive gift codes for the 12 apps (all available for the iPhone or iPod Touch and most also compatible with the iPad), and a collection of the books that inspired them. From Fancy Nancy to the Bernstein Bears to Warrior Cats and more, this collection has something for every kid on your list.
Reading is becoming more and more "plugged in." By giving kids quality reading materials in a variety of digital formats you give them new opportunities to engage with stories, literature, and ideas. These apps deliver familiar and new characters, humor, and a boatload of interactivity to keep even the most active young minds busy for hours.
To see a full run down of the apps including descriptions, visit Harper Collins "Unwrap an App" page.
To be entered in the random drawing, just leave a comment below before midnight EST this Friday (December 16th). Tell us about your kids' technical exploits, favorite books, or most embarrassing digital moment. We'll let you know who the lucky winner is a few days later.
Good luck and happy reading (whatever your format of choice is)!
Disclaimer: I did not receive any free goods or services in exchange for writing this post. I've reviewed other Harper Collins apps (like the fun Fancy Nancy dress-up one) and know that they publish and launch Good Stuff.
Contest open to U.S. residents only. Employees of BabyCenter, Harper Collins, and their families are not eligible.

The staff meeting anatomized
Good afternoon. I realize that we are starting this scheduled meeting 15 minutes late, but I was doing something else, and being your boss entitles me to waste your time.
Let me go over what we will accomplish today.
We'll lead off with 10 minutes or so of chitchat about some sporting event or television show, during which the two or three people who care about it will share their superficial opinions and attempts at humor.
Then Drudge will proceed to paraphrase, word for word, the memo that went out before the meeting, which nearly all of you did not read. The follow-up will be a reminder circulated after the meeting, which you will also ignore.
I will launch into an anecdote of no particular relevance.
After that, Roundabout will take about 15 minutes to convey five minutes' worth of information to you, digressing, repeating sentences, losing his train of thought, regaining it and retracing his previous steps, losing the thread again, and finally trailing off as you grip the table to keep yourselves from screaming.
Iconoclast will speak up, showing his bold originality by making a point completely at variance with everything that has gone before. Once he has established his individuality afresh, he will subside.
Hack will update with details of the new project. They will be pretty much the same as the details described at the previous meeting, and it will be difficult to determine what, if any, progress has been made, but several minutes will be consumed.
I will offer a reminiscence from my youth, tying it in to the sporting event or television series mentioned previously.
Sycophant will offer the latest pronouncements from Corporate. Nod appreciatively.
Now that we are several minutes over and nothing has actually been decided, I will close the meeting. You will have to determine, in murmured conversations with your colleagues, whether actual decisions have been made without your knowledge, or whether pending decisions will be made without notifying you.
Have a good day.

Theatre Project, American Opera Theater cancels 'Lost in the Stars'
Director Tim Nelson mentioned to me a while back that there were issues with the Weill Foundation over the performance rights, especially having to do with orchestration of the score.
In the end, the company could not secure the rights, according to a statement released by the Theatre Project, a statement that also offered "sincere thanks to the wonderful faculty and students at the Baltimore School for the Arts who supported this project and gave so generously of their time and talent."
The on-again, off-again Weill production would have been the last enterprise by the adventurous American Opera Theater, which announced earlier that this would be its final season.

With the tough economy, fundraising has become more important and more challenging for non-profit organizations.
The United Way of Pitt County began to tackle that challenge by kicking off it's "Pacesetter" campaign Thursday on the campus of Pitt Community College.
The fundraising effort involves a dozen large companies and organizations that set the pace for the United Way's fundraising efforts throughout the year.
Pacesetter organizations work within their own organizations to raise money for the United Way through employee contributions and fundraising efforts such as raffles and cookouts.
The United Way has pledged to provide funding to 19 different community service based organizations in Pitt County this year.

St. Mary's offers to give old hospital to state
Nixon wants $10 million to renovate part of St. Mary's for LU nursing program
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
Lincoln University's nursing program could be holding classes in the soon-to-be-former St. Mary's Health Center, if Missouri lawmakers approve Gov. Jay Nixon's plan to take over the seven-acre complex near downtown Jefferson City.
The nursing program now serves 120 students in Eliff Hall — but has said for several years it can't do much more with the space it has.
Nixon submits his budget plan for the 2014-15 business year during his State of the State address to lawmakers tonight.
It will include $10 million to renovate a portion of the St. Mary's complex for LU's nursing students, and for a culinary arts program school officials have been proposing for several years.
"This investment will enhance the learning opportunities for students in such high-demand fields as nursing," Nixon told students, faculty and local officials packed into the Memorial Hall meeting room Monday morning. "Here in our state, public education is a value.
"And, in today's competitive, global market place, it's also the best economic development tool that there is. That's why I'm excited to announce (this) new proposal."
The plan is powered by a non-binding memorandum of understanding between the state's Office of Administration and SSM Health Care, which owns St. Mary's.
That five-page document says state government asked SSMHC if it would donate the property on the west side of Missouri Boulevard, to "be used to expand Lincoln University's curriculum."
Only OA Commissioner Doug Nelson and William P. Thompson, SSMHC's top president and CEO based in St. Louis, signed the memorandum, so LU is not an official party to the agreement.
However, LU President Kevin Rome said: "The future impact of this is great. … There is no better laboratory than a hospital setting in which our nursing students can perfect their skills.
"The simulation labs we have on campus are incredible, but we will be able to expand them even further so, for our nursing students, this is a wonderful opportunity."
The agreement says SSM Health Care's donation would occur "during the first quarter of 2015," after the agreement has been finalized and St. Mary's has moved into its new facilites of Missouri 179, and vacated the current complex.
State Sen. Mike Kehoe, R-Jefferson City, noted the project will help improve the region's "health care environment."
"I know that (St. Mary's Health Center President) Brent Van Conia needs folks for his new hospital," Kehoe told the Memorial Hall audience. "And you see others, with Capital Region's expansion (in) the medical field.
"You see the lake expanding. You see Columbia expanding. The need for health care professionals is a great return on our investment."
Nixon already has said his budget plan will add $36 million to the previous funding for Missouri's 13 four-year higher education campuses, Linn State Technical College and the state's 20 two-year community college campuses.
Kehoe is a member of the Senate's Appropriations Committee, and said he'll support Nixon's plan when lawmakers begin going through the budget.
One expected budget battle is Nixon's $120 million greater expectation for state income than House and Senate leaders predict. Out of a nearly $25 billion total budget, the governor said, that $120 million difference isn't very large.
Kehoe told a reporter after Nixon's announcement: "I'll work really closely with (Senate leaders) to make sure they understand the economic benefit that this project could deliver. …
"We need to position this on the economic impact this will have as we move forward, and look at it as an investment."
State Rep. Mike Bernskoetter, R-Jefferson City, said he's been talking with other lawmakers about the idea since first joining the Legislature in January 2011, since LU doesn't "have the facilities to expand" in the current building.
"This is fantastic for the community," he said.
State Rep. Jay Barnes said: "You know, Lincoln has shown that it provides a great education in nursing, which is a booming field, at an affordable price."
But both LU programs proposed for the current hospital complex would fill only about 30 percent of it, Kehoe said — which leaves plenty of room for other state uses.
"I think, as we move forward in the coming weeks and months, defining what those are and making those happen is important — but it's a little early in the process to do that," Nixon said.
"We want to make sure that Dr. Rome and his team get a full look at how they can best use that facility for the education of these students, and the connection with this campus and this community."

in2LOL Season 2 Finals Preview: TPA & WE
posted by Camouflage23, 3 years agoToday we cover two of the biggest teams from Asia! In the fifth episode of the Season 2 Preview Series, you will get to know Taipei Assassins and World Elite!
Taiwan is our first stop! Taipei Assassins are looking to continue their dominance from the local scene to the international scene!
Line Up
Wang 'Stanley' June Tsan - Solo Top
Alex 'Lilballz' Sung - Jungle
Kurtis 'Toyz' Lau - AP Carry
Cheng 'Bebeisadog' Bo Wei - AD Carry
Chen 'MiSTakE' Hui Chung - Support

Chen 'MiSTakE' Hui Chung - Support
Lin 'Colalin' Ying Hsuan -Sub/Support
Qui 'NeXAbc' Bo Jie - Sub/AP Carry
Qui 'NeXAbc' Bo Jie - Sub/AP Carry
Team Overview
Taipei Assassins, formerly known as Team FTW was founded by Team Captain MiSTakE after he had met Stanley in a ranked game and their mutual friend 'Colalin' introduced them to 'NeXAbc' and former CLG member 'Lilballz'. The team competed in Garena's G1 eSports competition and was crowned #1 out of 150 teams and thus qualified for the World Cyber Games 2011. Garena noticed their outstanding performance and signed the team along with Bebeisadog and Toyz, forming Taiwan's first LoL pro gaming team: Taipei Assassins.
After the formation was completed, TPA performed well in multiple offline tournaments. Taking 2nd place behind fellow Season 2 candidate WE in the NVIDIA Game Festival 2012, winning the GPL Season 1 Opening Event against the strong Singapore Sentinels and taking revenge on WE by beating them in the finals of the StarsWar 7 tournament. It's without a doubt that the TPA squad should be considered as a contender for the title of the Season 2 World Championships.
Player Spotlight
TPA's player to keep an eye on is Chen 'MiSTakE' Hui Chung. He is the team captain and support of his team. He was first noticed worldwide at the Riot World Invitationals, where he played as support together with other professional players against a team consisting of high elo Riot employees. His aggressive play style may sometimes lead to him dying a lot, but it's a good sacrifice causing his team to fight better, survive longer and ultimately win team fights and games. As every other competitive level support, he can play all the dominant supports like Sona, Janna, Alistar, but his speciality are Zyra and Lulu. Especially the latter will be a problem for his opponents when paired with strong AOE champions.
TPA MiSTaKe
TPA MiSTaKe
AP carry
Anyone watching Taiwans Regionals will remember Karthus crushing the enemy team with triple kills. The player behind that is Kurtis 'Toyz' Lau. TPAs mid laner is also known for another global champion: Twisted Fate. With these two champions, he can put a lot of pressure on the map and help his team in crucial moments. Whenever the team feels that they need an assassin-type champion, he will often pick Diana.
Solo top
Wang 'Stanley' June Tsan became known for playing a lot of unorthodox champions top like Ezreal, Ad Lulu and even some Ap carries, which one would normally see at mid lane. Due to a lot of lane swaps, he was forced to stick to more conservative champions like Olaf and Jax. We can expect him to try and outplay his opponents with his great mechanical skills.
Another long standing member of the team is their jungler Alex 'Lilballz' Sung. He has made himself a name by playing Alistar during the Garena Premier League. When he's not jungling the 'cow', he might play scary Maokai or Shyvana.
AD Carry
Cheng 'Bebeisadog' Bo Wei is playing Ad carry for TPA. When combined with 'Mistake' he is a very strong bot lane. His champion repertoire is huge, but he feels the most comfortable with Ezreal, Ashe and Sivir.
The second team we cover today is Team World Elite. Lets take a look at what this Chinese team is made of.
Line Up
Wei 'CaoMei' Handong - Solo Top
Ming 'ClearLove' Kai - Jungle
Yu 'Misaya' Jingxi - AP Carry
Gao 'WeiXiao' Xuecheng - AD Carry
Mao 'Fzzf' Juan - Support
Ming 'ClearLove' Kai - Jungle
Yu 'Misaya' Jingxi - AP Carry
Gao 'WeiXiao' Xuecheng - AD Carry
Mao 'Fzzf' Juan - Support
Team Overview
Team World Elite was the very first eSports club based in China and the first to pick up a League of Legends team in March 2011. The newly formed line up achieved successes in major tournaments, taking 1st place in IEM Season VI - Global Challenge Guangzhou, 1st place in the LoL Pro League and 1st place at the Tencent Games Carnival 2011. In 2012 Team WE kept up the good work by winning the World GameMaster Tournament 2012, NVIDIA Game Festival 2012 and the Tencent Game Arena Grand Prix 2012. After some disappointing results in the Azubu The Champions Summer 2012 and IPL Face Off: San Francisco Showdown the team decided to replace 'YJTM' with their current jungler 'ClearLove'. 'if' decided to part ways with Team WE a couple of weeks later, so they picked up their current support 'Fzzf'. With this newly formed line up Team WE hopes to get some good results at the Season 2 World Championships.
Player Spotlight
Junglers usually don't get enough attention, so it's time for a jungler in the spotlight. Ming 'ClearLove' Kai is one of the newest additions to the team. Although he is still quite unknown, he has already demonstrated his skill in show matches against CLG.eu at the 1 year anniversary of LoL in China. With coordinated ganks with 'Misaya' he played a great early game. Until this moment, we can only say for sure that he plays a great Skarner and Maokai. We can expect early game ganks and aggressive jungle invading even with champions that normally don't excel in that.
WE ClearLove
WE ClearLove
AP carry
Another great player in the team is world-renowned Yu 'Misaya' Jingxi. His main champion Twisted Fate is often banned, but that doesn't stop him from having global presence on the map as he also enjoys playing Karthus. His wide champion pool also includes Vladimir, Ryze and Oriana.
AD carry
While 'Misaya' is doing the work needed during the early and mid game, Gao 'WeiXiao' Xuecheng is the force to be reckoned with at the later stages of the game. He has become one of the most respected AD carries and he will definitely have a big impact on WE's performance in the Season 2 Championship. His favorite champions are Vayne and Ezreal, but he might also play some Corki and Graves.
Solo top
Wei 'CaoMei' Handong is playing top lane for WE. Even though he was supposed to be Ad carry, he quickly adapted to his current role, where he shows great results. In the past he played a lot of Rumble, Irelia and Olaf and we might see those picks at this event too.
Mao 'Fzzf' Juan has joined the team one month ago and his synergy with 'WeiXiao' will be very important at the upcoming tournament. After a couple of games, he has shown some rather standard champion picks like Taric, Blitzcrank and Sona, but he has also shown the tendency to spend a lot of money on wards and to make sure that his team has good vision of the map.
Stay tuned to in2LOL as we will be releasing the TSM and M5 Team previews tomorrow and more Season 2 content in the coming week.

GCA\NBS second division tourney…DCC refuse to play GYO, Rain ruins several matches
Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) refused to play host Gandhi Youth Organization (GYO) yesterday in their scheduled match of the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA)\ New Building Society (NBS) second division 40 over competition.
The game was rescheduled to start at 12:40hrs due to a damp area on the outfield and at the time of the toss, the DCC captain informed the umpires that his team will not take part in the match.
Meanwhile, rain prevented a ball from being bowled in the other matches that were set for Saturday and Sunday as well as the scheduled games in the Banks Malta Supreme U-13 25 overs tournament on Friday.
Chairman of the competitions committee Shaun Massiah said that they are hoping to play the final preliminary round games in the U-13 competition on Saturday weather permitting; Transport SC is set to play DCC, GYO will take on Georgetown Cricket Club and Everest Cricket Club will face Malteenoes. GYO and Everest are leading the points table.
