I have asked the two major gubernatorial candidates to talk to Georgia public school teachers about their respective education platforms. This week the floor belongs to Jason Carter, the Democratic challenger. Next week, it will be Republican Gov. Nathan Deal's turn.
I have one of the most interesting jobs in the world. One day I am advising world leaders on the nuances of international monetary policy. The next day I am consoling a distraught reader who thinks I need to "look within myself spiritually." The last time I looked within myself, I saw my navel. It was full of lint. Never again.
The Woman Who Shares My Name instructed me that this week's column was to be about positive things. She says she is tired of bad news and thought you felt the same way. "Surely, you can find some positive things to write about," she said, "and temporarily take people's minds off all the terrible things going on in the world. I think your readers would appreciate that."
It is a potential killer whose numbers rival the deadly Ebola virus and it doesn't get near the attention it should. Unlike the dreaded illness currently ravaging West Africa this is one with a quick cure.

I just learned of a book called, "Say Goodbye to your Southern Accent."
The U.S. Senate race this November between Democrat Michelle Nunn and Republican David Perdue will be one of the more unusual campaigns we have witnessed in Georgia. Neither has held public office and both are anxious to portray themselves as the ultimate "outsider."
In 1997, Gov. Zell Miller appointed me to fill a vacant seat on the five-member State Ethics Commission and then reappointed me to a full term where I served until 2002. It was a rewarding experience and I am proud of the good things we accomplished at the commission.
I am humbled. I am grateful. I am honored. And I am overwhelmed. I said it to the people who came to my 90th birthday celebration at Bethel, and I say it again to the many people who made that lovely celebration possible and to those who sent good wishes even if they couldn't attend.
With the July 22 runoff elections fast approaching, I called Junior E. Lee, general manager of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company, located in Greater Garfield, Ga., to get his thoughts on the various races and to see who he thinks will make it to the finals of the November general election and who will be eliminated this round.
The things you learn while surfing the Internet in desperation for column material. Did you know that there is a National Association for the Humor-Impaired? May Jimmy Carter (speaking of the humor-impaired) wash my socks if I am not telling the truth.
This year in memory of Charles [Finley] on his birthday, Ben and I have asked LifeSouth to hold a blood drive. They have made arrangements to have it at the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame, 59 Main Street, in downtown Dawsonville, from 9 a.m. -4 p.m. July 5.
With all the flurry some friends are making about my upcoming 90th birthday, and with watching the CNN specials on the momentous changes our nation made in the '60s, I've been made particularly aware of the amazing changes that I have witnessed in this near-century that I've lived.
I have said it before but it bears repeating: If I don't qualify for heaven (a distinct possibility), my preferred alternates are: (a.) Athens, Ga., on a crisp fall Saturday afternoon; (b.) Athens, Georgia, on a warm spring day or (c.) Athens, Georgia, on any day.
Before the start of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, Billy Payne, the organization's CEO, reminded everyone that while much of the attention during the Games would be focused on the high-profile athletes, not to forget that all 10,000 athletes from the 107 countries represented were and would forever be Olympians - a title few people in the world would ever attain.

Release Date:
August 23, 2005
An entry-level class on breaks that's more like your favorite recess activity, @Tommy Boy's Hip Hop Roots is based on some of the most notorious tracks sampled throughout the history of hip-hop. This demonstrates the keen ears required to hear the potential in unlikely sources -- take Billy Squier's "The Big Beat" (Run-D.M.C.'s "Here We Go," U.T.F.O.'s "Roxanne, Roxanne"), first spotted by Afrika Bambaataa, or the Monkees' "Mary, Mary" (Run-D.M.C.'s track of the same name), initially re-contextualized by Rick Rubin. The straight funk and hard soul that formed the backbone of hip-hop is also well represented through the Jimmy Castor Bunch's "It's Just Begun," James Brown's "Let a Woman Be a Woman (Let a Man Be a Man)," Lyn Collins' "Think (About It)," and Charles Wright the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band's "Express Yourself." Seasoned spotters might be dismayed by the lack of less-known breaks, but that's not the crowd that this compilation has in mind. As a starter kit, the disc's power cannot be denied, even though numerous oft-sampled sources (such as FunkadelicParliament, Zapp, and Sly the Family Stone) go unchecked. (Blame the lack of space and the disc's perfectly defendable focus on what took root in New York.) A couple minor exceptions aside, the compilation is completely enjoyable without considering the theme that ties together its content. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

International Economic Week in Review: A Detailed Look at the EUBy: HaleStewart
This week, I looked at that the ETFs for the six largest European countries. While all have rallied from earlier in the year lows, none indicate a strong underlying economy. I found this odd. Although the EU is certainly not in the economic fast lane, the underlying data doesn't support these low valuation levels. Topline Growth is Moderate But Consistent The top chart shows the region grew for the last 10 consecutive quarters with the pace of growth increasing from .6% in 1Q14 to the last 4 readings of between 1.5% and 1.6%.

S.O.T.T: Cancer is now so common it affects about one of two of us and most will face it at some point in their lives, either personally or through a friend or relative. Compelling research indicates that the answer to our burgeoning cancer epidemic could be far closer than previously imagined, in the form of a ketogenic diet. Personally, I believe this is an absolutely crucial facet of cancer prevention and treatment, for whatever type of cancer you're trying to address, and hopefully, some day it will be adopted as a first line of treatment by mainstream medicine.
A ketogenic diet calls for eliminating all but non-starchy vegetable carbohydrates, and replacing them with high amounts of healthy fats and low to moderate amounts of high-quality protein.
The premise is that since cancer cells need glucose to thrive, and carbohydrates turn into glucose in your body, then lowering the glucose level in your blood through carb and protein restriction literally starves the cancer cells to death. Additionally, low protein intake tends to minimize the mTOR pathway that accelerates cell proliferation and lowers the amount of one particular amino acid, glutamine, which is also known to drive certain cancers...read more>>>...

"COVADONGA AND PUENTE REPELAO" Covadonga by AsturArcadia
Covadonga Travel Guide: 10 reviews and 74 photos
Worn cables linking the battery and sparking plugs on the ageing Tico prompted me to take it to the garage in Villamayor one day early in July 2009 to have them replaced. Fortunately, it was a cool, overcast day, with a touch of 'orbayu' in the air - a welcome break from the heatwave we had been suffering. I thus decided to pass the time by catching the local ALSA bus to Covadonga, and walk back down the valley through Cangas de Onís (for lunch) to Arriondas, joining a mid-afternoon bus to Villamayor there.
The results of the 16 km walk are on this page, and also on those for La Riera, Soto de Cangas, Cangas de Onís, and Las Rozas. It is amazing how much more one sees when walking rather than when driving 9or travelling by bus)!
Covadonga, like Montserrat, is touring coach terrain, an obligatory stop on any excursion covering this part of Spain. Coaches, large buses and country roads are incompatible. The ALSA bus I caught in Villamayor, which had started its journey in Oviedo, 55 km distant, was running nearly 15 minutes late. Having called at almost every bus stop between Villamayor and Arriondas, it then had to negotiate the narrow street to the bus station (opposite the railway station) in the latter town. Matters here were complicated by the fact that some sort of music festival had recently (the previous night?) been held, and the equipment was being dismantled and stacked into vans ready for transfer to the next venue. So - a tricky job for bus drivers, squeezing their vehicles between these! I would imagine that even under normal road conditions accessing and leaving the bus station in Arriondas costs an ALSA bus five minutes, and it is amazing that the FEVE station has not yet been struck by a vehicle reversing out of the confined bays. Surely, when this facility was planned in the early 1990s, a more sensible arrangement would have been a couple of bays at the main road level, where the bar is now, with steps up to the railway station? There is a ticket office at the upper level - I have never seen it open. The rest of the facility looks decidedly tatty.
We were about twenty minutes late at Cangas de Onís, where the new bus station is, sensibly, accessed from the by-pass, so that buses and coaches no longer have to lumber through the narrow main street of the town. According to the timetable, here it was necessary to change to continue to Covadonga. The Covadonga bus had not awaited its connection, since doing so would have disrupted its diagram for the remainder of the day. Instead, the bus from Oviedo continued up to Covadonga as well, being further delayed by roadworks (new sewage pipes being laid, and road resurfacing) between La Riera and Puente Repelao. In the end we squeezed into the parking bays outside the museum and visitor centre 35 minutes down on schedule.
Covadonga is not designed for 55-seat coaches and buses. The area around the Basilica was laid out in the days of horse-drawn traffic. Montserrat has been crudely adapted over the decades to cope with the road vehicle influx. But now Montserrat has an efficient and effective (as well as cheap) rack railway from Monistrol (and connecting trains to and from Barcelona).
Both Covadonga and Montserrat receive similar numbers of visitors each year. It is high time the local, and provincial councils in Asturias saw sense, tried to find a private business partner, and built the often talked about new tramway (or railway) up the valley from Arriondas and Cangas de Onís. Instead, during the busiest times of the year a frequent bus service is operated from Cangas, calling at various park+ride car parks (a waste of good agricultural land) en route.
'On your left is a loony VT member, photographing us.'
There were not many pedestrians out and about that morning.
So, I took a couple of representative photos of touring coaches speeding past as I walked. This one - a bit blurred - really was motoring!
The fun starts when 55-seaters take to the mountain road up to the lakes above Covadonga (on very busy days there is a ban on private cars). Later in the year I plan to catch one of the buses up, then walk back down, to sample it for myself and to do a visual survey of where a rack railway might run (I already have a few ideas on this). But for that sort of walk you really need crisp, clear autumnal weather.
Another day out to look forward to . . .
- Pros:Landscape, cooling, refreshing 'orbayu'.
- Cons:Buses, buses, buses, buses . . . .
- In a nutshell:Needs a tramway - the sooner the better!

PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEW; Composing Indian History, One Carefully Framed View at a Time
Published: October 31, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
Apart from the Amaravati material, though, most Indian monumental art and architecture reached England in the form of photographic reproduction. And images like Beato's immaculately composed views of the Taj Mahal, and Murray's radiant three-part panoramic shot of the Moti Masjid, or Pearl Mosque, in the Agra Fort, inspired a vogue for Indian tourism, yet another form of invoking proprietary privilege.
Also with the aid of photographs, Britain concocted at-home adaptations of Indian design. Architectural forms -- particularly those associated with the Mughals, Britain's imperial predecessors in South Asia -- turned up in public buildings like the Royal Pavilion at Brighton and in festive spectacles like the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. In India itself, meanwhile, the British were designing government buildings in so-called Anglo-Indian style, with each new example duly recorded by the camera for international viewing.
But by midcentury, long-simmering anti-British sentiment in India exploded in a popular revolt that the British referred to as the Mutiny of 1857. Many soldiers and civilians, British and Indian, died in the conflict, and overnight the political climate in India changed. A retributive British government grew more controlling, and architectural photography found a new role as part of a propaganda campaign to promote images of British valor and Indian treachery.
Places where Britons had been killed were converted into shrines, their sanctity perpetuated and broadcast in pictures. In an infamous example of staged history, British military might was extolled in a photograph by Beato of the ruins of the Sikandar Bagh Palace in Lucknow, where 2,000 rebel Indian soldiers had been killed. Beato arrived on the scene a year after the battle. But to recreate its flavor, he had the remains of the rebels disinterred and scattered around the courtyard for the shoot.
From that point on, the British Raj itself went into decline and ended, to assume a dramatized life in photographs, memoirs and ''Masterpiece Theater.'' And an independent India took charge of its own history, past and present, sometimes delineating it in part through ideologically charged representations of architecture.
The Taj Mahal sustained its Romantic allure: Indian movie stars and rock groups continue to pose in front of it. The Red Fort in Delhi, once a Mughal stronghold, became a symbol of the new nation, as illustrated in a school textbook picture from the 1970's in which Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru addresses a crowd from the fort's ramparts while resistance heroes from earlier eras hover protectively in the sky.
Although many elements in this image are photographically derived, they are joined together as a painting in which naturalistic scale is off kilter and visionary events are treated naturalistically. In post-Independence India the role of documentary photography changed somewhat, at least officially. As the historian Partha Chatterjee notes in the indispensable catalog to ''Traces of India,'' Indians preferred to present historical events and cultural symbols in terms associated with sacred art rather than with the ''profane realism of photography.''
Increasingly, he suggests, under colonialism Indians came to view the Western concept of reality -- based on rationality and exemplified in a linear impulse to organize, categorize, collect and record -- as morally problematic and intellectually delusional. Whatever its philosophical underpinnings, however, the politics of representation embedded in architecture and photography, and examined in these illuminating shows, is still operative in India today.
The 1992 destruction of a mosque in Ayodhya, built on the supposed site of an ancient Hindu shrine, ignited religious violence that still burns. And three generations of post-Independence Indian photographers -- men and women, a mere handful of them known in the West -- continue to record, interpret and invent an Indian history, that supremely charged epic that Fergusson described as ''written in decay,'' and that Rabindranath Tagore, with exquisite theatrical flair, declared resistant to ''the cyclonic fury of contradictions and the gravitational pull of the dust.''
''Traces of India: Photography, Architecture and the Politics of Representation'' and ''Company Culture'' remain at the Yale Center for British Art, 1080 Chapel Street, New Haven, (203) 432-2800, through Jan. 11.

So you know--

I bought a bag of donuts,
and I ate that [...], man.
I ate the whole bag,
and I felt horrible.
You know when eat donuts,
and you don't even want 'em?
I was, like, standing outside
the donut place goin',
"Ahhh, I'm gonna get donuts.
Damn it."
And they're, like, looking at me
through the window, just
standing there going,
"Ah, God, I gotta have some."
So I go in there, and I'm
eating 'em,
and I don't even like it,
and I'm just pushing 'em down
my throat, and I've got powder
on my face.
It was horrible.
And I don't care about the
weight, you know, I'm lucky.
I'm one of those people,
I can eat donuts, whatever,
and I just get fat.
You know, it's no problem.
But it makes me feel bad.
I just feel uggh.
And I can't not do it.
And, like, I'm married now,
and my friends'll say, like,
"Is it hard to be monogamous?
Does it take will power?"
No, I can do that.
That's easy, but I can't lay off
the donuts, see.
'Cause it's different.
See, for sex,
there's masturbating, right?
But for food, there's nothin'
like that, you know?
I can't, like, watch
The Food Network going,
"Oh, yeah, oh, oh.
Oh, pizza, yeah, you know."
>> You can't do that.
Look, I'm tryin'.
>> Louis: Nothing, right?
You're still hungry,
aren't ya?
>> You bet.
When I eat a lot of food,
my beard gets fat.
>> Louis: Your beard gets fat
when you eat a lot?
>> I get a fat beard.

When you picture Northern Ontario, the rugged beauty of the Canadian Shield often comes to mind. This lovely landscape, with its forests and lakes, is a prime location for year-round sports and leisure activities. The region's large francophone community adds to its cultural diversity, while its economy has expanded beyond traditional resource-based industries. It all adds up to this: a wonderful quality of life and a challenging career at KPMG are waiting for you in Northern Ontario.
Our Northern Ontario Practice
KPMG is one of the largest professional services firms in Northern Ontario and has professionals divided between our Parry Sound, Sudbury, North Bay, and Sault Ste. Marie locations. We deliver audit, tax and advisory services to individuals, entrepreneurial businesses, corporations, First Nations and Aboriginal clients, and public-sector institutions such as municipalities, school boards, hospitals, colleges and universities.
Parry Sound
Parry Sound is considered the jewel of the 30,000 islands on Georgian Bay. Known for its rugged shoreline and warm hospitality, Parry Sound is a picturesque town just a short two-hour drive north of the Greater Toronto Area.
Home to numerous attractions, including the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame, Parry Sound is an appealing destination all year long. Tourism is a major industry focus for the region, as well as First Nations and public-sector institutions.
Greater Sudbury, with a population of over 157,000, is the largest city in Northern Ontario and home to the Big Nickel, the world's largest coin. Traditionally known as a mining town, the city's economy has become much more diversified in recent years.
Not far from the Sudbury office you can explore the wonders of Science North-Dynamic Earth; enjoy fresh produce, baked goods and international fare at Market Square; dine at delicious restaurants and cafés; and take in professional theatre, fantastic festivals, art galleries, museums and more.
Sudbury has also undertaken a land reclamation program that has won international acclaim. You'll see lots of green spaces, provincial parks and beautiful lakes that make Sudbury a destination for outdoor activities like hiking, boating, snowshoeing and camping.
North Bay
This growing city, located between Lake Nipissing and Trout Lake, has always been an important transportation centre linking Southern and Northern Ontario. Today North Bay is more economically diverse than many other Northern Ontario communities and has, for example, developed a strong manufacturing sector as well as a solid telecommunications infrastructure that has helped establish a significant information technology base in the city.
Our North Bay office's partners and employees enjoy all the amenities of a larger city, including a vibrant arts community that features a symphony, professional theatre and galleries. The city also boasts a multitude of recreational attractions to keep you active all year long, from multi-use trails to its waterfront paths and beaches.
Sault Ste. Marie
This city sits on the lovely St. Mary's River. Historically, Sault Ste. Marie's economy has been rooted in the forestry industry and steel manufacturing. Today, the economy has expanded a great deal to include, among others, manufacturing, information technology, tourism, health care, small business, professional services and the public sector.
Our office is just steps from all the attractions of downtown—from upscale dining and boutiques to galleries, theatre and the symphony. Parks, gardens and trails are also nearby, and the waterfront boardwalk is the perfect place to take a stroll and grab some fresh air any time of the day.
With all of these attractions, Sault Ste. Marie offers the best of both worlds.
Our Clients
KPMG has a diverse practice in Northern Ontario. Our clientele represents a mixture of privately owned companies, public corporations, small businesses, individuals, not-for-profit organizations and the public sector. As a result, the career choices at KPMG are numerous and provide a range of opportunities to gain experience.

In the 1950s, when medical evidence showed that a small amount of fluoride could help improve dental health, the federal government began urging utilities to add fluoride to local water supplies. Now, a report by the Department of Health and Human Services says that young children may be getting too much. Their new proposal sets the amount at just over half the previous recommended level.
One of the reasons for the change is that 2 out of 5 adolescents ages 12 through 15 have tooth streaking or spotting because they are getting too much fluoride. The condition, known as fluorosis, appears to have grown more common since the 1980s, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Like anything else, you can have too much of a good thing," said Dr. Howard Pollick, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco's dental school and spokesman for the American Dental Association.
In this online activity you will learn about fluoride, what is and what it can do for teeth and bones. You will also learn about basic care for your teeth.
Begin this week's activity by visiting the web site of the prestigious Mayo Clinic, where you can learn a few basic facts about Sodium Fluoride, the mineral added to most city water as well as some foods, drinks, and other products. It is commonly referred to simply as "fluoride." Read the Description section. Is fluoride a natural substance or is it man-made? Is it fine to stop brushing your teeth if you get enough fluoride? What is the recommended daily intake of fluoride for adolescents and adults?
Now turn to the WebMD Oral Health Guide to read about Dental Health and Fluoride Treatment. Read the first page. Describe how minerals are added to and lost from a tooth's enamel layer. How exactly does fluoride make a difference in protecting teeth from plaque? What age group benefits the most from fluoride? Who might benefit from additional fluoride treatments?
Click Next Page at the bottom and read the second page, which focuses more on risks. What can happen if someone gets too much fluoride? Is fluorosis dangerous? Why is it important not to swallow toothpaste? Why is drinking bottled water a concern?
While evidence suggests that fluoride can help reduce the number of cavities in your teeth, fluoride alone is not enough. The best way to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy is to take good care of them every day by frequently brushing and flossing. To learn more about what you should do, how to do it, and why it is important, visit the Kids Health site and read Taking Care of your Teeth. Read the page, or click the Listen button if you prefer to have the page read to you. Look for answers to these questions. What does gingivitis do to your mouth? Long ago, what did people use to clean their teeth? When was toothpaste invented?
Click Continue at the bottom of the page and keep reading or listening. Which teeth should you brush? How long should you brush them? What else can you brush besides your teeth? How often should you visit a dentist?
Colgate, the toothpaste company, has made a video showing you How to Brush Your Teeth. Watch the video, and then listen for answers to these questions. How many times each day should you brush? How often should you rinse your brush? What can happen if you press down too hard with your toothbrush?
Fluoride can make a difference in preventing cavities, but a lot more depends on how you eat and how well you take care of your teeth. For this week's newspaper activity, we will focus on eating. In a current or recent issue of the e-edition, look for grocery ads or other food ads for food that you may find throughout the newspaper. Foods that are high in sugar, such as candy and soda, will produce more plaque. Natural foods that are lower in sugar will produce less plaque, and your teeth will remain healthier. Clip out at least 20 pictures of food. Divide the clippings into two groups: good for teeth and bad for teeth. (If you are not sure, research it on the internet or ask an adult.) Mount your pictures on poster board to create a dental health awareness poster. Work with a friend or classmate to collect twice as many food photos.

(©GettyImages) As featured on NewsNow: Football newsFootball News 24/7The FIFA Ballon d'Or award is annual prize awarded to the best footballer over the previous year. Since the award as it is now began running in 2010, Lionel Messi has dominated the competition with three straight wins until 2012.The Barcelona superstar's reign of terror came to an end last night, however, as arch-nemesis Cristiano Ronaldo was awarded the 2013 edition during a typically lavish ceremony in Zurich. As with all of football's major debates, opinions have been split on just who of Messi, Ronaldo or Bayern Munich wideman Franck Ribery deserved to win last night's award.With the argument continuing to rage, GMS decided it was time for us to weigh in with a classic dose of statistical analysis.Using the following graphic* provided by the fine folks over at 101 Great Goals, we will determine once and for all who deserved to win last night's award.Click on to find out who we've chosen and don't forget to leave your thoughts below. What do you make of the stats?Who do you think deserved to win the Balon d'Or this year? Was Ronaldo's triumph justified or did Messi or Ribery merit it more?*Please note, due to the enormous number of stats featured on that aforementioned graphic, we have been rather selective with regards to which ones we have chosen to look into.We've also tried to select a range of stats from across the board, to give a clear indication of each player's all-round game.At the end of each relevant stat, we will award one point to whoever comes out on top in that particular area. samad (India) Posted on 1/16/2014 at 6:30 AM 0 Voter claims Ballon d'Or was riggedWednesday, January 15, 2014 - 5:04 PM Source: SportsFanShareTweetCommentVoter claims Ballon d'Or was riggedPhoto Source: EPAQatar manager Fahad Al Zarraa says he was forced to vote for Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to win the Ballon d'Or as a gesture of gratitude to FIFA boss Sepp Blatter.Ronaldo took out world football's highest individual honour for a second time on Monday night. The Portuguese received 27.99 percent of votes, ahead of Argentine rival Lionel Messi (24.72 percent) and France's Franck Ribery (23.36).Qatar, the nation that will controversially host the 2022 World Cup in winter, put their full support behind Ronaldo. The 28-year-old received first-choice votes from Qatar's team captain (Bila Rajab), media representative and national coach.But according to Al Zarraa, the decision to vote for Ronaldo was forced upon him."I was told by my president to vote for Ronaldo to help Blatter clean up his image as a token of appreciation for bringing the World Cup here," the manager said.Suspicions were raised that FIFA were gunning for Ronaldo to win the Ballon d'Or when the governing body took the unprecedented step of extending the voting period until after Portugal's World Cup playoff with Sweden.Ronaldo was unstoppable in that tie, scoring all four goals in a 4-2 win on aggregate to ensure Portugal would take their place among the finalists in Brazil later this year.Blatter had earlier offended Ronaldo, Real Madrid and Portugal by calling the Ronaldo a "commander on the field of play" and saying he "has more expenses at the hairdresser" than Messi.Messi, Blatter said, "is a good boy, that every father and every mother would like to have at home."Following that incident, it is believed FIFA were keen to see Ronaldo win the Ballon d'Or to wash away any suspicion of bias towards Messi.The Barcelona striker was chasing a fifth consecutive trophy, having won the FIFA award in four straight years from 2009-12. Diego86 (Australia) Posted on 1/16/2014 at 1:38 AM 1 Man, FIFA changed 12 votes including that of Pekerman and Quatar's head coach to give the ballon d'or to Ronaldo!!! Abs (United States) Posted on 1/15/2014 at 5:48 AM 0 Tons of crap !! "elpipita" Mamoun (Iraq) Posted on 1/15/2014 at 1:02 AM 2 honest to god if winning the ballon d'or finally shuts Ronaldo (and his excessive whining) up then all I can say is that IM HAPPY FOR YA CHRISTIANO!.....Now please shut up and focus on football. Kenneth (United States) Posted on 1/15/2014 at 12:02 AM 0 Is it just me or is this Fifa Balon D'or a lot more..."publicized" then Messi's? Im not quite sure how to say it, but it seems like there is a lot more " behind the scenes" to this one because Ronaldo won it. It also seems as if they are milking it. travis (Japan) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 10:31 PM 0 @el prince Thanks bro, tho i'm not sure if you're only make fun of me, or really think it as a good line-up, but either ways thanks. I just scrap few people at the back and put players that i think is better enough to make ARG backline stronger as ever. I don't think it's a bad choice.CaballeroAnsaldiGonzalo RBad choice??? I don't think so. joesoccers (Canada) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 9:49 PM 0 messi robbed from 5th balon d'or by a crybaby and a gutless corrupt "president" of fifa.first ronaldo was crying all last year that sepp favors messi, blah, blah, blah and he was going to boycott the awards and leave a bad stain on the sport.so they give the crybaby the award, and he gets up on stage and what does he do, he cries.that award show was like watching an old man give a crying baby a lollipop to stop crying, except it was a grown "man" getting the treat, and it didn't stop the crying. pablo.d (New Zealand) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 9:48 PM 1 Mafioso: you have the gks the same as i would.its a thankless position being a gk as if you make a good save its expected of you but if you make a mistake its all your fault. Dfox (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 6:21 PM 0 I know that but like you said, he's an idiot. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 6:16 PM 0 Dfox but he said Brazil defeat us twice with the current players we have which is dishonest..The last time Argentina met Brazil we won both official games..2011 in Qatar Argentina defeat Brazil 1 - 0 and we also beat them in New Jersey back in 2012 4 - 3..That's the last two official meeting between the two teams..FIFA didn't even recognize those locals play in South America. Dfox (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 6:05 PM 0 He's talking about the two games with the home squads only, and of course big P*** chickened the last time around. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 6:00 PM 0 Emon: This is another comment from Shaq Malcolm on the same article..He also said:''The best attack is defence... ever heard that? Who is going to defend then? messi? Argentina fails to perform against teams with a good attack, they've lost twice against brazil and once against uraguay with the current squad. So imagine facing a better attack, like Germany, Netherlands, Italy? Defence matters!!!!!!! That is what this article is all about!!!!!''Obviously this guy is a Anti Argentina..He said ''we lost to Uruguay once and Brazil twice.'' Yes we lost to Uruguay with Our C squad and if not for the ref it would have been a tied..But he failed to mention that Argentina crush Uruguay 3 - 0..I don't know where he got this from about Brazil beating Argentina twice when its the other way around..This is the reason I don't like these sports sites, you can never get a honest substantial discussion with some of these BIAS bloggers.. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 5:50 PM 0 Emon: Shaq Malcolm comment sound like someone who is a 9 year old kid..Its a waste of time responding to his comment..His reason for why Argentina is not strong is so lame..This person is bias towards Argentina and its evident in the comment..As I said a lot of people hate Argentina because of Messi, so they try and play down the other qualities on our squad as a way to say Messi has no one around him to win the world cup..Gustavo, Paulinho and Rameires midfield combination is not better than Argentina midfield..Mascherano alone is better than Paulinho and Gustavo combine. Dfox (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 5:48 PM 0 Let them talk, Argentina is the most hated National team out there, why? I don't know. Emon (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 5:41 PM 0 Can someone give the lesson to @Shaq Malcolm ??onhttp://bleacherreport.com/articles/1922609-thiago-silva-brazil-captain-can-lead-selecao-to-world-cup-gloryHe is taking rubbish on Argentina..... Kenneth (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 5:06 PM 2 Watched the 2nd half of PSG Bordeux, Pastore scored, had one assist and for the 3d goal had a pass which should count as an assist but Cavani touched it. Overall Pastore played very well, Orban played okay he's a bit over hyped on this forum. He's not bad, but he's definitely no Maldini. Dfox (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 3:48 PM 0 Pastore just scored for PSG and Sosa is playing for AM as we speak. argentuban (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 3:41 PM 0 Santiago Garcia just started playing left back again this season for Werder. Last season at Palermo he played left mid or part of back 3 CB grouping almost the whole season. That is likely why he was not on Sabella's radar. Mafioso (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 3:39 PM 0 Whoscored's analysis and ratings are most reliable on the web.So if I follow their ratings,Santiago Garcia is one of the best left-back of the world :) Bad scouting from Sabella. Mafioso (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 3:34 PM 1 Aerially and defensively Santi Garcia is a lot better than any of current LB options which include Rojo,Orban,Ansaldi.Here is a whoscored article on him when Palermo was relegated:http://www.whoscored.com/Articles/4nvedvt6_0g0hz9oam_l5q/Show/Player-Focus-Best-Relegated-PlayersWhoscored rating on well-known left-backs:1.Ricardo Rodriguez(Sweden)-8.012.David Alaba(Austria)-7.573.Santiago Garcia(Argentina)-7.434.Leighton Baines(England)-7.385.Mercelo(Brazil)-7.366.Cristian Ansaldi(Argentina)-7.227.Philip Lahm(Germany)-7.138.Lucas Orban(Argentina)-6.89This is not exact order,just comparison of our LB option with currently best left-backs. Dfox (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 3:09 PM 0 Super Kun is back and I believe ready to play in tomorrow's game. el principe (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 2:44 PM 1 According to whoscored.com Santiago Garcia leads the rating of his team. Did Sabella call the wrong player? He did call the wrong player when it came to choosing a Fiorentina defender. It should have been Gonzalo Rodriguez not Facundo Roncaglia who barely got any minutes lately.When we needed a back up left back and Sabella chose not to consider Ansaldi, he should have gone to Germany to see Santiago Garcia, not France (Orban). Orban is not bad, but Garcia is superior... and taller. I have seen a couple games of him. Mafioso (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 2:23 PM 1 @pablo,I have chosen alphabetically there(O->R->W) :D For real,Romero's situation is not going to improve...I was a GK myself for my highschool,There is nothing dangerous to put a confidenceless GK between the post.No matter how good you are,you will make mistake.So Romero will not be my starting GK from now.Andujar is good too.But we can not afford 2 bench-warmer GKs in our final 23.So I will drop him.So the choice for starting GK is between Willy and Orion.I know very little about Orion.Maybe one or two of our member mentioned him as current best GK of Argentina.I asked a question about him for the podcast.Roy's reply was positive.So if Sabella starts him,I'm good.Between Orion and Caballero,I watched Caballero.Some of us considers him as our saviour which I strongly disagree.May not be the GK people describe but still a very very good goalkeeper in my eye.As I saw Orion just for one match(Domestic Arg side),I can't shout strongly for him.So in this case,my vote will go for Willy.I'm feeling pain for Romero,but this is my 3 gk with order:1.Willy -> 2.Orion -> 3.Romero pablo.d (New Zealand) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 1:20 PM 0 Mafioso: what starting order would you have the 3 gk's in? Mafioso (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 12:51 PM 0 For me 3 Gks should be Orion,Romero,Willy. Mafioso (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 12:41 PM 2 @Boudi,Very good analysis on Argentina from Brian Mann there.Actually best on web currently.His analysis on defence,midfield,attack,overall tactics is almost similar as we think at Mundo.Defense is overall good with worldclass Zabaleta and solid pairing of Fernandez and Garay.Only concern is left-back as Rojo lacks positioning.Based on his current club form,nt form must be better than previous.Lucas Orban should be given another chance for his defensive tougness.At bench Basanta is tough and uncompromising,Campagnaro is more disciplined.He identified GK as major issue to solve.Romero's weaknesses have become more visible than his great shot-stopping ability as he lacks playing-time.Andujar's condition is not better either.Only Orion is the solid gk here.It is not that Argentian lack talent in GK,so he suggested willy,Barovero,Saja.Willy has great last year at Malaga,though not at his best still solid this year.He praised Willy a lot for his-"bravery, communication, agility, willingness to come for crosses and ability to win one on ones".And Barovero also for-"His ball handling, agility and ability to jump for crosses is excellent, as is his anticipation in acting as a sweeper behind the defence".Saja:"His agility, command of the area, ability to cut out one on ones and save the odd penalty allied to excellent distribution skills mark Saja out a leading light for the Avellaneda outfit."Midfield consists of 3 outstanding player in Masche,Gago,Di maria.With solid back-up of Biglia,Banega,Alvarez,maxi and Lamela.If you use two AM you will be exposed to Arg's attack,if you use 2 DM to guard Messi,you will be open to Di Maria,Aguero or Gago.Argentina's attack is like double-edged sword.So we can be little more optimistic.We have problems,yes but it is not the case we do not have options.Actually major decision Sabella have to take is about GK.It is not easy to drop 4 year's starting GK,but it's needed to be done.I'm Romero's big fan,but Argentina comes first.Rene Adler was replaced by 21 years old Neur before 2010 wc,he did very good.Goycho did great...So it is risky but worthy to try. Poto (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 12:38 PM 0 Catania are interested on rogelio funes mori.I remember when he was 18 and dub as the next batigol when he was playing well for river plate. el principe (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 7:39 AM 0 @TravisI think you would be a good coach for Argentina based on your players selection :)Anyway, I was looking at this:http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/ballond%27or/playeroftheyear%28men%29/02/26/02/68/fboaward_menplayer2013_neutral.pdfIt is the voting list of each captain, coach, and media. I think this year Ballon D'or is the closest ever. Messi finished a close second with 1200+ points. CR7 got 1300+ points. Ribery got 1100+ points.You know what? I was thinking... If Argentina had finished 5th in the South American group and had faced a strong Asian nation in the playoff and say that we lost the first game in Asia. Then the second game Messi scored a hattrick in the second half and helped Argentina to get a ticket to the WC. I think the voters would have been more impressed by such thing than seeing Argentina finished 1st in the tough South American group and Messi finished top scorer of the team.The way most voters see is really funny.Or I see it this way: a 12 round boxing match between the defending champion Lionel Messi vs. CR7, the number one challenger. Messi wins the first 9 rounds (meaning 9 first months) but CR7 wins the last 3 rounds (last 3 months from October-December). Who wins? The only way CR7 to win the match is by knocking out Messi, but Messi did not get knocked out as he returned in January. CR7 tears when he won it showed how much he really wants people to think that he is the best. It really shows his character. Whenever Messi won the Ballon D'or, I don't remember seeing him cry or something. For Messi, team achievements is what make him cry. Notoraj (Finland) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 7:28 AM 0 5th Ballon de 'or was taken away from Messi.....well done Blatter u foolish old fcuk Sabellista (Namibia) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 6:34 AM 2 I don't understand why all over a sudden Sabella must pick who and who, and not pick who in the squad for Brazil. He knows better than all of you, myself included, what will improve his team and increase his chances of winning the WC. So he has earned the right to pick whoever he wants. The NT is playing attacking football with pace, ambition & passion because of Sabella's approach to his players and his tactics. He's getting the best out of Messi for the NT when previous coaches except Pekerman, couldn't figure out that Messi will be can't play at his best when the team is playing Riquelme-slow tempo football or when he doesn't have quick support in attack. Aguero and Higuain have become dangerous assasins in the Sabella era. Whoever he he picks I'll support even if I have my objections to some players. travis (Japan) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 5:15 AM 0 My first 11, very solid and strong, with this line-up, no one can beat Argentina forever, most powerful ever.MessiKunHigGagoMariaMascheZabaGonzalo AnsaldiGarayCaballeroand all we need to find is a lot better sub than we have right now. Boudou (Lebanon) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 4:40 AM 2 http://www.footballbettingodds.co.uk/argentina-week-part-1-the-defence/A must read article..very analytical Julker9 (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 3:19 AM 0 I think 3-5-2 is Ok 4 Our B team. It can wOrks against teams like BOsnia & Iran. But i dOn't think sO that Sabella chOOse the fOrmatiOn in wOrld cup bcz the real fOrmatiOn shOuld be 4-3-3. It's a prOved fOrmatiOn 4 us. baker (India) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 1:46 AM 0 i am re watching the bosina match , am i the only one feels with 3-5-2 formation , our defense looks more organised...? Julker9 (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 1:18 AM 0 @baker, yeah i nOticed that 2 but i think actually we played vs BOsnia with 4 CB nOt 3 ! I mean u can't called ROjO a LB nOw ! It's true that he is still playing as a LB rOle 4 Our NT but he is nOw playing as a CB instead Of LB pOsitiOn 4 his club & he dOes well in that pOsitiOn. sO, it's nOt pOssible 4 me 2 called him a LB nOw. That's mean we have nO LB in Our NT squad nOw !! And nO backup 4 Our RB(Only) Zabaleta ? If Sabella gOes 4 this fOrmatiOn(4-3-3) than we will be playing with 3 CB & Only 1 RB Zabaleta !! Just imagine if Zabaleta gets injured than......CampagnerO, Otamendi, Basanta really ? baker (India) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 1:10 AM 0 hugo we tried as LB once against sweeden and not that impressive though , his natural position is CB . xtreme (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 12:50 AM 0 @Baker, it's better to have zaba going forward and have compagnaro plays the LB. Ayr18 (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 12:39 AM 0 Hasn't Rojo been playing great for sporting lately? Although Orban deserves a chance i think it would be at Basantas expense.Also Biglia to me has won my praise he deserves a spot in our national team. The only players i feel we need to keep a close watch on are Banega,Romero,Andujar, Campagnaro and Lavezzi. baker (India) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 12:23 AM 0 yes rojo played good vs bosnia , i noticed that too . but we play with 3 CBs in that match , that gives rojo good freedom to move forward . but that is not the formation we will be playing in most matches. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/14/2014 at 12:02 AM 1 Baker why are you trying to shove Rojo out of the team..he was coming off a long term injury for the Peru game, he made a few mistake but played a great game vs Bosnia..Rojo is fine with me, he has not played that bad for us as to how some folks make it seems to look. Rojo is better defensively than Orban.. argentuban (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 11:56 PM 0 Yes, the coaches voted for Ronaldo. The media voted for Ribery. For Messi to have been a close second as they are reporting, he must have won the player vote in a landslide..... baker (India) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 11:52 PM 0 and i really wish orban will get one more chance on place of rojo baker (India) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 11:51 PM 0 @travis: u have doubt in biglia , i agreed he is not a world class player but he showed his metal in matches against italy and uruguay .fede is doing great with napoli , nothing to worry about him.yup banega is inconsistent.palcio/lavezzi will be a asset for NT.and ricky is already there in our squad and i am ok with his presence. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 11:23 PM 0 travis: apart from Cabellero everyone else on your finalist are not better than the ones on your second list..I have been watching Inter lately and Ricky Alvarez has not impress me, no doubt he's talented but Ricky will have to do way better if he want to be apart of the world cup squad..Scocco? The man without a club team, guy cant even start for International in Brazil.It was said that Scocco left Inter and was Rumor to join Sunderland but that didn't workout, now he's in no man's land. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 11:16 PM 0 Coaches swing the award in Ronaldo favor, so the extension indeed help Ronaldo, seems like some of the coaches change their votes to Ronaldo after the playoff games..Ronaldo had 53 number of coaches while both Messi and Ribery got 39 each.. travis (Japan) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 11:16 PM 0 My main concern this year is the World Cup team for Argentina that will be fighting in Brazil.I couldn't careless for this World best player award.Altho Messi looking great as always.I want to see Argentina win the WC in 2014, and become the world best team ever.I have faith in this players:MessiKunHiguainMascheranoGagoZabaletaGaray MariaMaxi RLamelaI have big doubt on:FedeCampagnaroBanegaBigliaPalacioLavezziI will never support this players in the squad:RomeroRohoBranaSosaTevezAnd lastly, I mostly hope this players will be in the final 23, although the chances is very thin:CaballeroAnsaldiIcardiIturbeScoccoGonzalo RRicky AlvarezI hope Mr Sabella do the right fucking thing.*** What's wrong Mundo admin, some jerks post some kind of ads in a few comments, and it has virus or malware of some sort... and it should be deleted as soon as possible. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 11:11 PM 0 Sabella was one of the honest voters out of all the top national coaches..Sabella could have easily exclude Ronaldo from his list but he didn't.. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 11:09 PM 0 Luiz Felipe Scolari voted for Ronaldo, Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic Roy Hodgson voted for Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Robin van PersieDidier Deschamps voted for Ribery his No. 1 selection ahead of Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic Alejandro Sabella picked Messi, Ribery and Ronaldo in that order Paulo Bento of Portugal playing it tactical by choosing Radamel Falcao and Arjen Robben behind RonaldoCarlos Queiroz choose Ronaldo, Iniesta and xavi..Carlos Queiroz and Bento vote in a way so their man Ronaldo will get the votes.. Messi4Ever (Bangladesh) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 11:04 PM 0 Propaganda: Ballon d'or 2013 has been set up for Cristiano, cause WC 2014 will be set up for Messi PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 10:49 PM 0 I agree with Dfox, I see nothing special about Thiago Silva..What have this guy accomplish outside of Ligue 1? Ramos and Silva being name the best two CB shows us that the standard of defenders in this day and age are not great.. baker (India) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 10:39 PM 0 yes , team that called up for romania is important , i think after that no new players will be having a chance to call up. PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 10:28 PM 0 So will FIFA keep the original BDOR deadline or switch it permanently to the extension deadline? Answer is, FIFA will switch it permanently to the extension deadline because they will be even more expose if they bring back the voting process back to its original..Messi will be ok, team trophies are the most important thing...My hope is that Aguero can make the FIFA world player of the year final top three the next time around..If Aguero win the BPL league title and continue scoring plus a successful world cup, no doubt he will be next to Messi when the 2014 BDOR voting comes around..Everybody talking about Romero is Argentina problem? yes Romero is suspect, and should not guarantee a starting place, but for me, Sabella is the most important person for Argentina and the answer if we are going to win in Brazil..Diego cost us big time in 2010 for not picking Cambiasso and Zanetti at the time. If they were in the team the Germany game would have been different..Also Camby would have played alongside Masche in that game with Zanetti in for Otamendi..Perkeman failure to play Messi and Aimar cost us in 2006..Now its all up to Sabella to make the right selection and a well balance 23 man squad.. Kenneth (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 10:24 PM 1 I honestly could care less that Ronaldo won it, Messi was injured for almost half of it. Messi will win it next year SulaV (Canada) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 9:34 PM 0 just one world cup and no one will remember cristina's name!! Dfox (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 9:33 PM 0 Pablo, you forgot the imbecile blatter extending the voting period, making up the rules as he went!NIKE probably gave him a tongue-lashing and threatened not to contribute to his Christmas party. pablo.d (New Zealand) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 9:27 PM 0 its very strange how the so called "best player" can win it but he and his teams have won nothing, he was not top lge goal scorer in spain or even top scorer in europe (over all) or was not even voted the best player in Europe as ribary won that.messi was the best but the 2 month injury cost him but it should have then gone to f.r.for me it was interesting to see cr not looking really excited about it, perhaps he knows it really should not have been him. yo (Malaysia) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 9:23 PM 1 messi is the same level to diego n pele. ronaldo n the others are behind of them. Dfox (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 9:10 PM 2 I don't see Silva being anything special, he's good but great? am I missing something? Dante Pastrana (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 9:06 PM 0 Love the Suit!! Truly the best in the world!! Congrats to Cr7 for an excellent individual year. Franck Ribery and A. robben had great seasons as well. so did Iniesta and Xavi when they won the treble back then but nothing so no surprise there. CR7 is by far the second best player in the world and always on Messi's heels or close behind and even 1 month slip up and Cr7 will take the cake. However, Messi for the most part stays healthy and he'll always be the best #1. This is the Messi era and Ronaldo knows it. Those tears were of real joy and probably the last time he will see the award. Sad to be Ronaldo always in the shadow of La Pulga!! PastoreTheBallerina (United States) Posted on 1/13/2014 at 8:57 PM 1 Take out Ramos & Alves..

Fewer than half are willing to go along with his push to extend a higher income tax rate. That could mean significant cuts in state spending. Brian Mackey reports on how Democrats backed themselves into this corner, and where they go from here. Quinn has for two months been asking lawmakers to make 2011's temporary income tax hike permanent. Rauner Wades Deeper Into Tax Debate, But Offers No Budget Plan By Brian Mackey • May 20, 2014 Brian Mackey/WUIS Republican candidate for governor Bruce Rauner is wading deeper into the debate over whether Illinois ought to extend a higher income tax rate. He's still refusing to say how he would manage the state budget. The Rauner campaign says it's making robo-calls to voters in seven House districts. These are key Democrats in the budget debate — most have previously taken positions against the higher tax rate.

If GS says S&P500 to end 2013 at 1750 that is roughly 80 points up rom here, that equals the DOW to end up at 18K and NAZ around 4200. Their argument is better earnings growth and GDP and also rising dividends. If that were the case then the fed would pullback on their QE. As a result the mkts would pullback because the interest rates would rise and it would be very difficult for Washington to service their debts at the higher rates and hence it would affect the economy and also cause the govt to raise taxes once again. Any comments please????
$3 eps ?
Overall markets can not be reliably understood (too many moving parts) but individual stocks can be. Even if the market is toppy, Intel is a bargain and will give you protection if not outright growth.
Back in 2000 when the Nasdaq was hitting 5200, Philip Morris (now Altria) was trading at a p/e of 5 with a 10% dividend. Reynolds Tobacco (camels & winstons) had a 16% dividend. These stocks were marvelous winners despite the markets' carnage.
Buy the unloved, or better yet, the downright hated (coal anyone?)
"Buy the unloved, or better yet, the downright hated (coal anyone?)"
Yep - I bought ARLP (coal) at the beginning of the year. It's up 20% now. Dividend is about 6.5% last I checked...
hi tenkay, yes I remember cause I had the MO and UST (US Tobacco which was also paying 16% div and also BT. Thanks to Slick Willy our prez then Bill Clinton who was chewing up the tobacco stocks. He is a fing #$%$. Intel has a lot of goodthings going in its favor its just a matter of time before it pops up most likely in the 2nd half. goodluck to you and thanks for yr comments.
80 SnP points is about 5%. 5% up on the Dow is 16,300 not 18,000. 5% on the Nas is 3,675 not 4,200. GS argument is expanding P/E, not necessarily E.
Many thanks for yr input. The way this mkt is going we will hit 16.3K by the end of June. LOL have a nice day bro

Induction system and adhesives
I have a simple question. I know years ago there was a big concern with using any kind of silicone in or around the induction system, as it caused harm to sensors.
I would like to use glue on something for my custom Volant install and was wondering if I have to be cautious of this. It would not be silicone, probably construction adhesive.
Will this hurt anything?
Re: Induction system and adhesives
I take it your referring to the MAF/IAT sensors? Silicone will screw up the MAF sensor if you get it on there. You can use silicone spray to lube gaskets and what not in the intake system as long as it doesn't get into the MAF sensor. Other than that, I would worry too much about it. You don't really need a whole lot to get stuff to slide around easily.
Re: Induction system and adhesives
Most silicone adhesives, while curing, release acetic acid (that vinegar smell) which is what can mess up various sensors. Some forms of latex construction adhesives cure by polymerization/drying. Lurk through the adhesives section of your local mega-home store and read the tube labels. Not sure what the liquid black adhesive, that GM uses around weatherstrip and warranty leak fixes, is based on.

Re: Induction system and adhesives
Yes. Silicone will damage O2 sensors.
Construction adhesive - not sure. Safest bet would be epoxy or something from the parts store labeled "o2 sensor safe". High temp hot melt glue would work too. I guess it all depends on what you're doing.
Re: Induction system and adhesives
Ok on the Volant CAI the front of it which mates to the radiator support is a huge rectangle. Not very efficient in my eyes. So I have crafted a piece of 1" think foil faces foam insulation board to fit nicely in that rectangle. Then I'm going to cut a 3" hole through it and somewhat mimic the factory snorkel tube.
I just want something to seal the foam-board to the box and the tube to the foam-board. I don't plan on installing it until the adhesive is dry, if that makes a difference.

As long as it stays on the *outside*, you'll be fine.
