Article 142 : If an action is initiated against several persons with respect to one incident, and some of them fail to appear in spite of being summoned, the judge shall proceed to hear the plaintiff's pleadings and evidence against all of them, and shall enter the same in the case record. He shall not render a judgment against the absentees until they appear before the court.
Chapter III: Order During Hearings
Article 143 : Order and control over court hearings are vested with their Chairman, who shall be entitled to remove anyone who disturbs the hearings from the courtroom.

The court may, at any time before the end of the hearing, retract that decision.
Article 144 : The court may try any person who commits an act of assault on that court panel - while in session - or on any of its members or staff and it may issue a sentence against him according to Shari'ah principles, after he has been given the chance to defend himself.
Article 145 : If a crime other than those provided for under Articles 143 and 144 herein is committed during a court hearing, the court may, if it decides not to refer the case to the Bureau of Investigation and Prosecution, render judgment according to Shari'ah principles against the accused, after hearing his statement, except where the case falls within the jurisdiction of another court, in which case it shall be referred to that court.
Article 146 : Crimes committed during a court hearing that are not instantly determined by that court shall be decided in accordance with the general legal principles.

Article 147 : Subject to the provisions of Section 3 herein relating to order and control over hearings, the refusal and dismissal of judges shall be subject to the provisions of Shari'ah Procedure Law.

Article 156 : Court hearings shall be attended by a clerk who records the minutes under the supervision of the Chairman of the hearing. This record shall indicate the name of the judge(s) of whom the court is composed, the name of the Prosecutor, place and time of the hearing, names of the litigants present and their advocates, their statements and claims, a summary of their pleadings, the evidence – including testimony of witnesses, any action taken during the hearing, and wordings and bases of the judgment. Each page of this record shall be signed by the Chairman, by the members of the court, and by the clerk of the court.
Article 157 : In major crimes, the Prosecutor shall appear during the court hearings in connection with the public right of action, and the court shall hear his statements and decide the same. In other cases, he shall attend court hearings if summoned by the Judge or the Prosecutor finds reason to appear.
Article 158 : No physical restraints shall be placed on the accused during court hearings. He shall be sufficiently guarded and shall not be dismissed from any hearing during deliberation of the case unless he gives cause therefore. In that case, the preceding shall continue and the accused may be admitted to the hearing whenever such cause for his removal ceases to exist. The court shall keep him informed of any action that has been taken during his absence.
Article 159 : The court shall not be bound by the description included in the memorandum of the charges. It shall give the act the proper description even though the description is not compatible with the memorandum of the charges, and shall advise the accused accordingly.
Article 160 : The court may, at any time, permit the Prosecutor to amend the memorandum of the charges at any time. The accused shall be notified of such amendment and be granted sufficient opportunity to prepare his defense with respect to such amendment, according to law.
Article 161 : During the hearing, the court shall inform the accused of the offense of which he is charged and shall read and explain to him the memorandum of the charges and provide him with a copy thereof. The court shall then ask the accused to respond.
Article 162 : If the accused at any time confesses to the offense of which he is charged, the court shall hear his statement in detail and examine him. If the court is satisfied that it is a true confession and sees no need for further evidence, it shall take no further action and decide the case. However, the court shall complete the investigation if necessary.
Article 163 : If the accused denies the offense of which he is charged, or refuses to respond, the court shall proceed to hear the evidence and take whatever action it deems necessary with respect thereto. It shall interrogate the accused in detail regarding the evidence and the content of memorandum of the charges. Each of the parties may cross-examine the witnesses called by the other party and discuss its evidence.
Article 164 : Each of the litigants may request to call any witnesses and review evidence they may present and request taking a specific action in connection with investigation proceedings. The court may reject such a request if it considers that it is intended for delay, m alice , or deception, or that granting such a request is not probative.
Article 165 : The court may call any witness whenever it concludes that there is a need to hear or cross-examine his statements. It may also hear any person who, on his own accord, appears before the court, if it considers that to be useful in determining the truth.
Article 166 : Subject to the Shari'ah rules governing the testimony with respect to hadd cases, a person summoned to testify, pursuant to a judge's order, shall appear before the court at the designated place and time.
Article 167 : If it is established that a witness has knowingly given false statements, he shall be punished for the crime of perjury.
Article 168 : If a witness is a child or his testimony is otherwise inadmissible, his statement shall not constitute a testimony. However, if the court considers that such testimony could be useful, it may proceed to hear that witness. If the witness is ill or is otherwise under a serious physical disability, rendering his examination by the judge impossible, the court may seek the assistance of someone who can communicate with that witness, but such statements shall not constitute a testimony.
Article 169 : Testimony shall be given at the court session, and each witness shall be heard separately. Where necessary, witnesses may be kept apart and confronted with each other. The court shall refuse to direct any question intended to influence the witness, or if it is a leading question. The court shall not allow directing any indecent question, unless it relates to material facts, leading to decision in the case and shall protect the witnesses against any attempted intimidation or confusion during the testimony.
Article 170 : Where necessary, the court may move to the place where the crime has been committed, or to any other place, for inspection, or to hear a witness who is unable to appear, or to ascertain any matter. The litigants shall be permitted to appear at the other place, and a judge may be assigned for that task. Any action taken by this judge shall be subject to the rules applicable to trial proceedings.
Article 171 : The court may issue an order requiring any person to surrender anything in his possession to that court and may also order the seizure of anything relating to the case in issue, if that action is deemed useful for determining the truth. Any document or other item produced during the trial may be kept, pursuant to a court order, pending the disposal of the case.
Article 172 : The court may assign one or more experts to advise on any technical questions related to the case. The expert shall provide the court, within the prescribed time, with a written report stating his opinion. Litigants may obtain a copy of that report. If the litigants, witnesses or either of them do not understand Arabic, the court may seek the assistance of interpreters. If any willful default or misrepresentation is established against one of the experts or interpreters, the court shall punish him.
Article 173 : Each of the litigants may provide the court with whatever they have in writing in connection with the case in issue, for inclusion in the file thereof.
Article 174 : The court shall first hear the prosecutor's charges, then the response of the accused or his representative or attorney. Then, the court shall hear the claimant regarding the private right of action to be followed by the response of the accused or his legal representative or attorney. Each of the parties shall be entitled to comment on the statement of the other party, and the accused shall be the last to address the court. The court may prohibit any party from continuing the pleading if his statement is irrelevant or repetitive. Thereafter, the court may either render a judgment acquitting the accused or convicting the accused and imposing the punishment. In both cases, the court shall dispose of the private right of action.
Chapter VII: Forgery as Subsidiary Action
Article 175 : The Prosecutor and all litigants may, at any stage of the proceedings, contest any part of the evidence as being forged.
Article 176 : The contestation shall be filed with the trial court and must specify the contested evidence and the grounds thereof.
Article 177 : If the trial court has reason to believe that there is a prima facie case of forgery, it shall refer the relevant documents to the competent authority and stay the action until the competent authority has issued a decision on the forgery action, where the judgment on the case in issue is contingent on the contested documents.
Article 178 : If it is decided that there is no forgery, the court shall punish the accuser, if appropriate.
Article 179 : If it is decided that all or part of a formal document has been forged, the court that has passed such decision shall order such document excluded or corrected, as the case may be. A note to that effect shall be entered into the record and the forged document be marked accordingly.
Chapter VIII: Ruling
Article 180 : A court shall base its judgment on the evidence produced during the trial. The judge shall not base his judgment on his knowledge of the facts, nor on facts contradicting such knowledge.
Article 181 : Any judgment rendered on the subject matter of a criminal action shall decide the plaintiff's claims regarding the private right of action and those of the accused, unless the court elects that a decision on those claims requires conducting special investigations upon which disposal of the criminal action may be postponed. In such a case, a court shall postpone the disposal of these claims, pending completion of the investigation.
Article 182 : The judgment shall be read in an open session at which the parties must be present, even though the case has been considered in closed sessions. The judgment shall be jointly signed by all the judges who participated in rendering it, and who must all be present at the time when the judgment is read, unless the absence of any of them is excusable. The judgment shall indicate the name of the rendering court, its date, names of the judges, names of the litigants, the crime subject of the action, a summary of claims or defenses submitted by litigants and the supporting evidence and arguments, the stages of the action, the text of the judgment, reasons and legal bases therefor, and whether it was rendered unanimously or by majority vote.
Article 183 : Any judgment shall be entered in the Judgment Record and be kept in the file of the action within ten days from the date it was rendered. An official copy thereof shall be given to the accused, to the Prosecutor and to the claimant of the private right of action, if any. Once the judgment has become final, it shall be formally communicated to whomever the court deems appropriate.
Article 184 : The court rendering judgment on the subject matter shall dispose of the litigants' claims in relation to the seized items. Where necessary, it may refer the dispute with respect to these items to a competent court. During the hearing, the court may also render a judgment with respect to the disposal of these seized items.
Article 185 : A judgment disposing of the seized items – as provided for under Article 184 hereof – shall not be executed if the judgment rendered in the action is not final, unless these items are perishable, or if the safekeeping thereof is very costly. If the court decides that the seized items be delivered to a particular person, such delivery may be prompt, with an undertaking, with or without guarantee, that the items received by him will be returned if the judgment pursuant to which he received those items is not upheld.
Article 186 : If the crime relates to the possession of real estate, the court may, during the proceedings, issue an order that such real estate be expropriated and placed at the court's disposal. If a person is convicted of a crime accompanied by the use of force, and if it appears to the court that someone has been dispossessed of real estate by the use of such force, it may issue an order that the said real estate be returned to the person from whom it was usurped, without prejudice to the rights of other parties to the real estate.
Article 187 : If an accused is convicted, or acquitted, pursuant to a judgment on the subject matter of the criminal action, no other criminal action shall be initiated against this accused in respect of the same acts and facts upon which the judgment has been rendered. If another criminal action is initiated, the previous judgment shall be maintained at any time of this action, even if the case is being considered by the Appellate Court. The court shall have due regard of the previous judgment, even if the issue has not been maintained by the litigants. Any previous ruling shall be established by submitting an official copy thereof, or a certificate issued by the court with respect thereto.
Chapter IX: Invalidity
Article 188 : Any action that is inconsistent with the principles of Shari'ah or the laws derived therefrom shall be invalid.
Article 189 : If the invalidity is attributable to non-compliance with the laws governing the composition or jurisdiction of the court, it may be maintained at any time of the hearing and be disposed of by the court without a motion.
Article 190 : Except as otherwise provided for under Article 189 hereof, if the invalidity is attributable to a correctable defect in the proceedings, the court shall correct it. If it is attributable to an uncorrectable defect, the action shall be held invalid.
Article 191 : The invalidity of a certain action shall not affect the validity of the prior actions, nor the subsequent actions, unless they have been based thereon.
Article 192 : If it appears to the court that the action includes an essential defect that cannot be corrected, it shall issue a judgment dismissing the case. That judgment does not preclude the refiling of the case when the legal requirements have been satisfied.
Chapter I: Appeal
Article 193 : The accused, the Prosecutor, and the claimant of the private right of action shall be entitled to appeal any judgment whether it relates to conviction, acquittal, or lack of jurisdiction. The court shall notify these parties of such right upon reading of the judgment.
Article 194 : An appeal against a judgment shall be within thirty days from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. Following the reading of the judgment, the court shall designate a date for the receipt of a copy of the judgment, within a maximum period of ten days from the date of reading the judgment, and enter the same in the case record. The appellant shall be required to sign an acknowledgement of receipt. If he fails to appear on the appointed date for receiving a copy of the judgment, such copy shall, on the same date, be deposited in the file of the case, and a note to that effect shall be entered into the record pursuant to a judge's order. The thirty-day period specified for the appeal starts running on the deposit date. The authorities in charge of the prisoner shall bring him on the prescribed time to provide him with a copy of the judgment, and shall also bring him to submit his appeal within the designated time.
Article 195 : Should an appellant fail to file his memorandum of appeal within the period provided for under Article 194 herein, the trial court shall, within forty-five days from the date of pronouncing the judgment, file that judgment with the Appellate Court. If the judgment involves a death sentence, stoning, amputation or qisas (not involving death), such judgment shall be appealed even if no litigant so requests, and the court shall file its judgment within the above-mentioned period to the Appellate Court.
Article 196 : The appeal memorandum shall be filed with the trail court, stating the appealed judgment, its date, the grounds for that judgment, the appellant's requests, and reasons supporting his appeal.
Article 197 : The court rendering the appealed judgment shall review the memorandum of appeal with respect to the grounds for such appeal without holding hearings, unless otherwise necessary. If it appears to the court that there is reason for amending that judgment, it shall be amended accordingly. Otherwise, the court shall uphold its judgment and refer it along with all the documents to the Appellate Court. If the judgment is amended, it shall be communicated to the appellant and to the other litigants and, in that case, shall be subject to the applicable rules of procedure.
Article 198 : The Appellate Court shall first consider the formalities of the appeal, and whether the appellant is entitled to file an appeal, and shall then decide whether to accept or reject the appeal for formality reasons. If the form of the appeal is rejected, the court shall issue a separate decision to that effect.
Article 199 : The Appellate Court shall dispose of the subject matter of the appeal on the basis of the evidence included in the file of the case. Litigants shall not appear before the court, unless it decides otherwise.

Article 201 : A judgment shall be reversed if it contradicts the text of the Qur'an or Sunnah or the consensus of Muslim jurists.
Article 202 : A judgment shall be reversed if it violates the laws concerning the competence of the court with respect to its composition or jurisdiction to review the case. The Appellate Court shall designate the competent court and refer the case to it.
Article 203 : If the Appellate Court accepts the form and substance of the appeal, it shall remand the same to the trial court for reconsideration on the basis of the remarks supporting the decision of the Appellate Court. If the trial court is satisfied with those remarks, it shall amend the judgment accordingly. If the trial court is not satisfied and maintains its previous judgment, it shall answer the remarks raised by the Appellate Court.
Article 204 : The Appellate Court shall give its comments on the judgments referred to it with or without an appeal, in accordance with the provisions of Article 203.
Article 205 : If the Appellate Court is satisfied with the responses furnished by the trial court with respect to the remarks it raised, it shall affirm the judgment. If not, it shall reverse the appeal in whole or in part, as the case may be, and shall state the grounds thereof. It shall then remand the case to another court for rendering a judgment in accordance with the law. If the appealed judgment is complete in every respect, and if urgent action is deemed necessary, the Appellate Court may render judgment on the subject matter. Whenever the Appellate Court renders a judgment, such judgment shall be rendered in the presence of the litigants and its judgment shall be final, unless it is a death sentence, stoning, amputation or qisas (other than death), in which case it shall be referred to the Supreme Judicial Council.
Chapter II: Reconsideration
Article 206 : Any of the litigants may apply for reconsideration of any final judgment imposing punishment, in the following circumstances:

• If the judgment has been based on a previous judgment that was nullified.
• If after judgment, new evidence or facts that were unknown at the time of the trial, appeared, which could have led to the acquittal of the accused or the mitigation of punishment.

Article 208 : The court shall consider the petition for reconsideration and shall first decide whether such petition is satisfactory as regards the form thereof. If it is accepted, the court shall designate a date for considering the substance of that petition, and shall notify the parties accordingly.
Article 209 : The court's acceptance of the formal aspect of a petition for reconsideration of a decision shall not lead to the stay of execution of the judgment, unless it is a judgment involving a corporeal punishment – such as qisas , hadd , or ta'zir . In other cases, the court, may order a stay of execution in its decision to accept the petition for reconsideration.
Article 210 : Any acquittal judgment pursuant to a petition for reconsideration must, if the convicted person so requests, include moral and material compensation to mitigate the damage suffered by him.
Article 211 : If a petition for the reconsideration of a decision is rejected, any new petition based on the same facts shall not be filed.

We watched the train head out, and vanish from our sight
The light upon this bridge seems no lonelier than I
Oh, I'm going nowhere
Oh, I'm going nowhere
We walked across these fields to stop at our front gate
This house seems empty now, he asks if we will stay
Ah, I'm going nowhere
Slipping out the front door, ready to ignore
All that sleeps tonight, in the lonely hours
Oh, I'm going nowhere
Oh, I'm going nowhere
Oh, I'm going nowhere
Oh, I'm going nowhere...

CLICK HERE to watch BAMMA USA "Badbeat 12" on GFL.tv!
This weekend at BAMMA USA "Badbeat 12", "The Real Deal" Chris Beal makes his long awaited return to the ring LIVE around the WORLD on GFL.tv!
Former\ "TUF 18" alumni Beal was apart of Team Rousey and nursing a hand injury when he dropped his first fight to future winner Chris Holdsworth via submission in a very close fight before the stoppage. Though a setback like this could cause a fighter to rethink his occupation, Beal is use to overcoming adversity. Not only has he overcome cancer in his leg but he live through the shooting death of his brother. All of which has made Beal the strong fighter he is today. This Friday night, LIVE on GFL.tv, "The Real Deal" will start his path back to the UFC when he takes on BAMMA USA newcomer Chad Walter (3-1).
Recently we had the chance to speak with "The Real Deal" before his showdown this Saturday night from the Commerce Casino in Commerce, CA, and this is what he had to say:
GFL.tv: How is you training camp going?
Chris Beal: Training camp is going great I'm usually focus & motivated but this one has some extra fire added to it!
GFL.tv: What do you know about your oppoenent? Is there any flaws you plan to expose?

AIDS Walk NYC 2010
This Sunday, people in New York will rise early to do their 25th annual AIDS walk. It is the largest walk-based fundraising event that is annually done for any disease.
The walk is a part of ongoing efforts to provide care and support for those who are afflicted with AIDS, which of course includes the gays.
Naturally, the event is mainly sponsored by GMHC (Gay Men's Health Crisis), who I typically would protest and every turn possible but will refrain from blasting here.
This walk is going to mess up traffic tomorrow and be a huge inconvenience, but I suggest we make the most of it. There will be thousands of sinners, so I'm bringing gay-is-sin pamphlets of Bible to hopefully spread to these people and if only one reads the Word and sees why they are wrong, then it is a good day.

Skipstone wines were a great discovery last year at The High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction. In Atlanta Skipstone wines are distributed by Prime Wines and can be purchase by request at specialty wine stores like: The Wine Cellars, Niko's Wine Corner, Perrine's Wine, All Y' alls Wines, J's Beverage Depot, Ansley Wine Merchants, Halls of Fine Wines, Sherlock's Wine, Mac's Beer and Wine, HopCity Craft Beer and Wine, and Green's.
This past March 17 was a great experience to visit the beautiful grounds of Skipstone Ranch, the vineyard is located high on the Mayacama Mountainsides above Alexander Valley in Geyserville, CA. The vineyard was established in early 2000 by proprietors husband and wife: Fahri Diner and Jill Layman.
Brook Drummond, Director of National Sales, Marketing and Public Relations welcomed us on a pleasantly cold morning under a light spring shower. Brook walked us through the grounds that includes 42 viticultural blocks within 30 acres of beautiful hillside vineyards, It looks like an amphitheater of vines all around you. Skipstone estate property of 200 acres has received Organic certification from the reputable California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) organization, including their 7 acre olive groves and 1.5 acres of culinary gardens and orchards. While walking the vineyards at Skipstone we observed a herd of Baby Doll sheep also known as Southdown sheep, Skipstone rent them from Canvas Ranch in Sonoma County; they are shorter and can't reach the vines when they begin to bud, they control grass and weeds, while also fertilizing the vines.
"Our philosophy at Skipstone is an uncompromising commitment to Quality, Sustainability, and Community. We believe first and foremost in taking extraordinary care in crafting our estate offerings. Our mission is to responsibly steward the land for future generations and employ sustainable and organic farming practices throughout the estate. We believe that the most natural approach to farming is the most effective, the most responsible, produces the best results and benefits social sustainability in the process", Brook said.
Renowned winemakers Philippe Melka, vineyard Manager Ulises Valdez, and organic farming consultant Amigo Bob Cantisano work together following Skipstone philosophy: "Superior quality wines made under environmental and social sustainability guidelines", to create the best environment to produce unique wines that express a wonderful terroir. Skipstone has plans to build a winery in their property, sacrificing some amazing vines for progress, for now Mr. Melka use the services of Vineyard 29, where he is winemaker, to process Skipstone beautiful fruit.
After walking the beautiful grounds at Skipstone Ranch, Brook surprised us with a beautiful and very tasty four course lunch prepared by their chef Amy Schaefers and paired with three vintages of Skipstone Oliver's Blend and the 2009 Makena's Vineyard Viognier. This is material for another article coming very soon.

In 2004, Liberia was still recovering from a six-year civil war, during which time various factions had claimed to be "the" government of Liberia. Such anarchistic conditions are awful for the people actually living there but are ideal for private mints in other countries (in this case, America) wishing to strike "coins" that are "legal tender", since there's no easy way to check which faction, if any, actually authorized them as legal tender coins. A huge number of different types of "coins", legal quasi-legal and downright illegal, were issued in the name of Liberia after 1997 and a great many of these "coins" have been investigated by the cataloguers and deemed to not be official legal tender coins. This one is not yet listed in either the "Official" or "Unofficial" Krause world coin catalogues, so I guess the cataloguers haven't caught up to 2004 yet.
The base-metal ones generally are worth much less than the hyped-up price the private mint would have originally sold them for, and not even worth face value, if the face value were American dollars rather than Liberian dollars - the civil war caused the collapse of the Liberian dollar; one Liberian dollar is currently worth slightly more than 1 US cent. So any value it has is purely numismatic.
Here's one of your coins for sale on a German dealer website, for 4 euros. Judging from that price, I'd assume this is one of the base-metal types, presumably cupronickel.
I would love to have an actual Liberian Dollar. I think they minted them in the mid 60's only. These private mint coins for Liberia, Cook Islands, Gibralter, etc are authorized by poor countries to mints that promise the coins will never be redeemed, they will be hoarded. I remember reading that there were/are more coins minted in Liberian currency for collectors than the Liberian "government" could even accept.

It seems there has been some trouble with the Twitter stock at end of day because it fell 12% according to Wall Street. There also has been issues stated regarding the reason why there has been this large first quarter drop taking place with investors taking place and many have stated it is happening due to the fact Twitter is not the social media that can become the next Facebook. That piece of information is quite true considering Facebook is not just a social media considering what all is included upon the environment.
Let us compare the two briefly for a moment. When logging into Facebook a user has the option to either read through RSS newsfeed or play games. When logging onto Twitter a user sees the RSS feed of the contact list constantly being updated and can provide updates, perform searches on news and has the ability to add new contacts onto their list. Twitter is one of the top social media chat programs because of the user capability and it allows hash tags. Even though Facebook seems to permit hashtags there has yet to be any sign the use of hashtags on Facebook is working correctly.
All in all, Twitter is the real deal for social media and even though there has been a drop in the first quarter, there is strong belief the company will find a way for a strong rebound in Q2 to regain what was lost.

Black Girl Not Using With Blow DryerAbout me: Black, natural hair (no chemical relaxers), shoulder length hair when stretched, 4a/b texture Sometimes I like to straighten my hair with a flat iron. I originally bought this brush to use during blow drying, prior to flat ironing. I did not like it used this way. I recently used to aid in flat ironing. I actually guide the brush down the piece of hair in front of the flat iron. The brush stretches and detangles the ends of my hair so that the flat iron flattens.

FA Cup fever...
- 14 April 2013 08:10
- Posted by @mccarthy_mcfc
All eyes are of course on Wembley this morning as City's FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea ebbs ever closer.
The countdown to kick-off has already begun and the papers are trying to predict who will feature in the starting line-ups, with particular attention devoted to Blues' midfield maestro David Silva.
"Without the 27-year-old playmaker, signed for £24 million by Mancini from Valencia after the 2010 World Cup finals, City are not the same team. When he plays; they play," claims The Telegraph's Jason Burt.
"He is the highly refined oil in their machine and City will desperately hope that he is able to shrug off a hamstring problem that affected him during the impressive 2-1 win at Manchester United on Monday so that he can feature in the semi-final at Wembley against Chelsea today."
Meanwhile, touchlinetalk.com have singled out what they consider to be the three key battles ahead of this mouth-watering clash.
"Chelsea's record in the FA Cup is second to none in recent years, winning the trophy in four of the last six seasons, including last year," the website reports.
"Roberto Mancini's side though are bidding for a third trophy in three years; it may not be the Champions League or Premier League, but fans with long memories of nothing but failure will settle for that."
To find out what players they have paired against each other, take a look at the full article: http://www.touchlinetalk.com/chelsea-vs-manchester-city-three-key-battles/44952/
We are covering today's events from every angle, so make sure you are following our official Twitter account @MCFC and stay tuned to the official website for all the latest developments, build up and match coverage.
Finally this morning and according to the Daily Star, the club are preparing to offer Sergio Aguero a new five year deal.
"The Argentina striker has three years remaining on his current deal but City want to put him out of the reach of suitors like Real Madrid," writes Paul Hetherington.
"It is in line with the club's policy of tying down their key players, having already secured Yaya Toure, David Silva and Vincent Kompany on long deals.
"And Aguero, 24, is certainly in that category, having scored the sensational goal which clinched the Premier League title last season."
Remember, the official site is your first port of call for confirmation of any movements in or out of the club this summer.

Cyprus: What Matters Now Is the Story Investors Choose to Believe
Peter Atwater
How does social mood affect the reaction to the news from Cyprus?
In his book
Thinking, Fast and Slow,
Daniel Kahneman offers, "Subjective confidence in a judgment is not a reasoned evaluation of the probability that this judgment is correct. Confidence is a feeling, which reflects the coherence of the information and the cognitive ease of processing it. It is wise to take admissions of uncertainty seriously, but declarations of high confidence mainly tell you that an individual has constructed a coherent story in his mind, not necessarily that the story is true."
As an observer of social mood and how changes in confidence alter our preferences, decisions, and actions, I come back to this quote from Kahneman frequently. Whether true or not, the stories in our head matter. They are the initial transmission mechanism from our specific level of confidence to our actions. What is a coherent and easily understood story becomes an actionable truth.
The past seventy-two hours have offered a wonderful opportunity to see how both as individually and as groups we quickly develop our own stories when events occur. Over the weekend, following news reports from Cyprus that depositors there would be taxed as part of a bailout, pundits, investors, and policymakers all took to Twitter and began offering their stories: "Cyprus will lead to contagion," "Cyprus crossed the Rubicon," "Cyprus sets a terrible precedent." For those reading all of the feeds, the message was both coherent and clear: Cyprus equals bad. It was no surprise then that the markets sold off sharply on Sunday night as worried investors' stories turned into action. Given our natural aversion to uncertainty, when news is perceived to be bad, the crowd moves quickly.
Beginning yesterday, though, other stories began to surface suggesting that maybe the situation in Cyprus was not as dire as we first thought. One of those stories was offered by Andrew Ross Sorkin, who in his Dealbook column last night noted:
Cyprus is unique. Besides being tiny, its banking system looks different from those in most other countries. Much of the big money deposited in its banks is from foreign investors, including Russians who have long been suspected of money laundering. Those investors had fair warning that Cypriot banks were troubled. The issue has been simmering for six months. But those investors left their money in the bank, in part because they were gambling that the banks would be bailed out at no cost to them. If the current plan is approved, depositors will have lost that bet.
Worse, the strategy employed in the bailout of Greece — in which bondholders of its sovereign debt were paid less than face value — will not work in Cyprus. Cyprus's banks own much of the country's debt, so any effort to reduce that debt by forcing debt holders to accept less would only make the banks more troubled.
Given the brutal history between Russia and so much of Europe — and speculation that so much of the money is ill gotten — it is clear why it would be so politically unpalatable to countries in the eurozone, Germany in particular, to bail out Russian depositors. And even if the move were to create a run on the banks in Cyprus, the contagion would be limited.
There is very little chance that politicians would ever choose to use the model they developed in Cyprus in a country like Italy or Spain, where a run on the banks would have such profound implications. By the way, if you're wondering why investors left so much money in troubled Cypriot banks, here's a trivia question: Would you have been better off leaving your money in a bank in the United States or in Cyprus over the last five years?
The answer: You would have been better off in Cyprus, even after the bailout, when your money was "confiscated." If you had 100,000 euros in a Cypriot bank account over the last five years, where the interest rate has averaged about 5%, you would have about 127,600 euros today. Even after the bailout, which would require you to give up 10% of your deposit — 12,760 euros — you would be left with 114,840 euros.
For investors then, the choice is which story to now believe: the "Cyprus is the beginning of the end of the world" story, or the "Cyprus is not worth worrying about" one offer by Mr. Ross Sorkin. Will it be the lady or the tiger?
While this choice may seem obvious, I would note two aspects of it. First, it took almost forty-eight hours for a thoughtful and balanced mainstream discussion on Cyprus to surface. As Kahneman points out in his book, our brains operate at two speeds, fast and slow. When it comes to issues related to our safety and security, we shoot first and ask questions later. When our story is bad, bad equals immediate action, or more accurately, immediate
Even more, I would note that because of how our brains operate during periods of weak confidence, thoughtful and balanced views have a very hard time competing with easily understood fear-laced messages. Cyprus equals unique may be true, but it will take far more effort to convince low confidence investors of that than the message Cyprus equals bad. For those lacking confidence, anything that draws into question one of Mr. Ross Sorkin's "Cyprus is unique" arguments could quickly bring doubt to his entire story. Remember "subprime is contained"?
Time will tell where all of these stories go, but I would pay very close attention to market levels from here. As a socionomist, I believe that markets measure mood like a thermometer measures temperature. Falling markets will be indicative of falling confidence, and with lower confidence levels, investors are much more likely to act first and read thoughtful and balanced articles later.
Over the past seventy-two hours, we saw a snapshot of this phenomenon in real time. I suspect that the next seventy-two days will offer even more.
Peter Atwater's groundbreaking book "Moods and Markets" is now available on
Barnes & Noble
"Peter Atwater brilliantly provides a framework for understanding both the socioeconomic hubris that led to the great credit bubble of the past decade and the dark social-psychological hangover that has resulted from its collapse. In so doing, he offers an invaluable guide to what promises to be a very difficult and turbulent period ahead as we experience what he calls the 'me, here, and now' behavioral tendencies of the post-crash world." —Sherle R.

Eight New England Revolution players are on the fan ballot for the 2014 MLS All-Star game, released today by MLS. The All-Star Game will be played against German club Bayern Munich on Wednesday, Aug. 6, at Providence Park in Portland, Ore.
Altogether, 32 players will be named All-Stars and 11 players – one goalkeeper, three defenders, four midfielders and three forwards – with the highest combined votes will be named to the All-Star Fan XI.
Portland head coach Caleb Porter will coach the MLS All-Stars and will choose the game day roster and the starting lineup versus Bayern Munich.
The Revolution players on the fan ballot are: Teal Bunbury, Diego Fagundez, Andrew Farrell, Jose Goncalves, Patrick Mullins, Lee Nguyen, Bobby Shuttleworth and A.J. Soares.
Revolution All-Star Nominees
Teal Bunbury is in his first season with the Revolution and his fifth pro season overall. Bunbury has scored two goals and added three assists in the last five games.
Diego Fagundez, the Revolution's first-ever Homegrown player, scored four goals and added three assists so far this season. Just 19 years old, Fagundez is already the top scoring teenager in league history, and his 20 career goals rank ninth in club history.
Andrew Farrell After the Revolution selected him with the first overall selection in the 2013 MLS Draft, Farrell started at right back in all 32 games he played last year. Since Farrell joined the team, the Revolution has posted 18 shutouts in 46 games.
Jose Goncalves is the reigning MLS defender of the year and helped the Revs return to the playoffs in 2013 for the first time since 2009. He helped the team post a club record 14 shutouts and a 1.12 goals against average, the second-best mark in club history.
Patrick Mullins, drafted 11th overall by the Revs this season, is only the second rookie in league history to score goals in four straight games. Playing as the team's target forward, he has helped the team score 14 goals in four games.
Lee Nguyen is the team's leading scorer with five goals. Playing in central midfield, Nguyen has helped the third-leading offense in MLS. He is a perfect 3-for-3 from the penalty spot this year and has two game-winning goals.
Bobby Shuttleworth's 1.00 goals against average is tied for second in MLS, and for first among regular starting keepers. His four shutouts are the second-most in MLS, while his six wins are second in MLS.
A.J. Soares has played every minute of every game as center back and also scored a goal at Philadelphia.

The Next Book in the Lost Continent Series
Deep in the sun-drenched desert, priestess Ginger-Sun carries the power of shape mages. And whispers abound: Is she descended from the beloved Sunset Goddess, or are her nighttime rituals filled with wickedness? Ginger herself is uncertain, until a stranger is left for dead at her feet.
Thence her magic begins to burn.
Fate makes Ginger the stranger's wife and therefore a target for those who would murder this man to crown another—and force her magic into twisted ferocity. For unless Ginger masters her dark powers, violence will rein in Taka Mal—and in her soul.
The Fire Opal has not yet been reviewed.

A book of images shot and edited with iPhone and Instagram between November 2010 - July 2011
Everything here is done on the breath of the moment, acting mindlessly and while having fun but also as a hard photographic exercise in staying inside narrow boundaries.
In this process, each shot I take that satisfies me and tickles my own taste is a personal victory.
I was born in 1966 in Florence (Italy), to an artistically dynamic extended family. I owe my visual education primarily to my father, a passionate photographer who taught me to shoot and film in 8mm. iPhoneography, Polaroid and Lomography are my primary interests and means of artistic expression. I have exhibited my works in solo and group exhibitions worldwide (London, Berlin, Milan, Barcelona, New York, Los Angeles, Berkley, Miami to name a few). I also make short movies and music videos that have been screened at various Italian and international cinema festivals. Amongst these, the short film Investigations On Citizens Above Suspicions was selected and screened at the Short Film Corner at Cannes in 2009. I consider myself an impressionist photographer, instinctive in nature and terminally curious about life and art.

In particular, my research program is directed toward 1) the use of molecular techniques to elucidate the population structure of marine organisms, with an emphasis on pelagic fishes; 2) the application of techniques in molecular genetics to help resolve problems in fishery science; and 3) the use of molecular genetic data to infer the evolutionary relationships. In addition, we have recently focused our research efforts to estimate the survival of billfish released from recreational and commercial fishing gear, and to devise means of reducing incidental bycatch in the pelagic longline fishery.

The Spinners' roots can be found in Michigan's Royal Oak Township when childhood friends there started singing together for fun in 1954.
Their five-part harmony became legendary solid gold Philadelphia soul that has sold millions of records and chart-topping songs and led to a spot in the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
With hits like "Rubberband Man" and "Then Came You," the Spinners will kick off the 2009-10 University of South Carolina at Lancaster Performing Arts Series at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 29.
Peach cobbler, ice cream, pie and breakfast cereal topper. Somehow, the mention of such those tasty treats doesn't match with a fruit loaded with fiber, great vitamins (A, C and E) and packed with nutrients.
But that's exactly what you get with a fresh peaches.
Somewhat sensitive and temperamental, peaches bruise easily and have to be handled with kid gloves.
When handled with care, a ripe South Carolina peach is summer at its best.
Nothing hurts quite like losing a good dog. I experienced that just before Christmas, with the passing of Speckles.
Almost 15 years old, Speckles wasn't your typical dalmatian. She was a member of our family.
Because of that, I debated long and hard about getting another dog and didn't do so until the time was right.
However, the one decision I did make was to adopt a dog from Lancaster County Animal Shelter.
It's kinda like the starfish-on-the-beach story.

School insurance will not be on sale during registration.
All students new to the district must complete a student information form and provide two proofs of residency. They are asked to bring report cards and any other available records from the school attended last year and will not be allowed to register without the following documents:
Brandon Threatt had been to the store with his best friend, Brett Wright, and was coming back to his grandmother's home on John Everall Road on Sunday morning.
But the teens never made it back to Margie Allen's house.
Allen, Brandon Threatt's grandmother, lives literally a stone's throw from where Wright's pickup truck overturned about 10:20 a.m. Sunday, said Threatt's father, Mike Threatt.
Neither teen was wearing a seat belt, and they were ejected from the truck in the crash, S.C. Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Jeff Gaskin said.
Anna Blackmon smiled when talking about starting the second grade.
As she stood by her parents at North Elementary School's orientation Thursday, she appeared eager to begin another year. Her mother, Melody Blackmon, said it's the comfort she has with her teacher that's makes her at ease.
Anna's new teacher, David Warren, worked with her during a camp over the summer. The two have already established a good rapport.
INDIAN LAND – Daune Gardner is hoping a partnership between Lancaster and Union counties could bring thousands of jobs to the area.
Gardner, the mayor of Waxhaw, in Union County, N.C., is looking to forge a deal that would create a research park on land in both counties.
Gardner laid out her plan at last week's Indian Land Rotary Club meeting, speaking to several members of the community. At the meeting, she explained how the idea formed and how a research park could benefit members of both counties.
This is in response to Furman Joye's letter, "Writer cautions Americans to be alert," in the July 10 edition of The Lancaster News. Mr. Joye is very concerned about America's recent economic convulsions. I think he and I can agree on that point.
However, Mr. Joye appears to believe that the Obama administration is the cause of them. I would like to respond to some of his points individually.
Horray for the Lancaster County Library. Thank you, thank you, thank Youthbuild. We would like to say a big thank all the staff members of the Lancaster County Library who worked so hard to make Terrific Tuesdays be creative at the library. It was a huge success this summer. Our children really enjoyed the program each week and their teachers did, too.
Getting all those wonderful prizes was a plus.
Even our younger children are already learning the importance of a good book. We are already looking forward to next summer to see what adventures you will have for us.

How is a private cloud different from traditional use of middleware technology? The following scenarios demonstrate the key differences in rapid enablement and self service private cloud provides.
The Risk Management organization in a large enterprise is looking to develop a new web based application that will re-use several existing internal services. The development Team Lead establishes a Tenant account with the centralized infrastructure team. His development team begins local development on their workstations and after a few weeks they have created a basic skeleton of the application.
Using a self-service web portal, the Team Lead indicates that his team requires a WebLogic 11g based development environment with 1GB heap and 50GB of database space for the next three months. That afternoon, he receives an e-mail that his environment is ready with the appropriate URL/credentials for the Admin Server and database, and filepath for the server logs.
One of the developers uploads the skeleton application EAR to the cloud instance remotely via Eclipse and builds the required table structures. After another month of initial testing, the application is in good shape for some basic user testing.
The Team Lead returns to the self service portal and requests that his development cloud be promoted to UAT status. That afternoon, he receives another e-mail with the corresponding credentials and URLs for an exact copy of his development cloud now with a 3 node WebLogic cluster using 2GB heaps and 100GB of tablespace. After a quick unit testing with JUnit the development team confirms the UAT cloud is ready for user testing. The Team Lead sends out an invitation to his QA group and several testers begin stressing out the application.
As bugs are found, the development team adjusts the application using their development cloud. Updated EARs are remotely deployed to the UAT cloud via batch scripts from the source control system. After several weeks the application has passed enough tests to be ready for production usage.
The Team Leader returns again to the self service portal and requests that his UAT cloud should be promoted to a Production cloud with 4 node WebLogic cluster using 3GB heaps and 250GB of database space. After a 24 hour review period he receives an email that the Production cloud has been created with specific information about URLs and guest user credentials.
The development team is then re-focused on another high priority application. The original development and UAT clouds are purged and the server capacity is returned to the available resource pool.
After a few weeks of production usage, it becomes clear there is a subtle logic error in one of the calculations inside a web page. The Team Leader review the bug notice and decides it warrants a code change. The development team makes the appropriate change on their workstation. The UAT cloud is re-provisioned for a few days so the QA team can verify the bug has been fixed. Once certified, the fixed EAR is deployed into the production cloud and the UAT cloud is de-provisioned yet again.
A cloud Administrator monitors the production cloud and notices that one of the managed nodes in the cluster is responding very slowly to user requests. This is determined by looking at the average response times from the "top servlets" as identified by their request counts. The Administrator restarts the node remotely and after several minutes it is serving requests normally again.
Several months thereafter the business conditions change such that the application is handling hundreds more users than expected. The cloud Administrators notice that the production cloud instance is consuming near its limits of allocated resources. They decide to add additional WebLogic nodes to the production cloud cluster on another server that has additional memory and CPU cores. This happens without impact to the cloud Customers and the Team Lead is notified of the change.
Later that week it is apparent that the spike in usage was only a temporary phenomenon. The cloud Administrators then decide to remove the fourth cluster node from the production cloud and return the second server back into the resource pool.
After a few years of production usage, the business rolls out a packaged application which provides similar functionality as the custom application. The users are instructed to begin using the packaged application solution and over time the production cloud instance capacity is scaled back until it is simply running a single node WebLogic cluster on a modest server. The larger capacity hardware it was using is again returned back to a common pool for other cloud instances. Eventually the application is no longer needed and the production cloud instance is purged.
Note that the scenario presented above highlights several key aspects of a Platform as a Service:

Last year, the Barton Bears got a ticket to Paris in the opening round of the 2011 Class 3A Arkansas high school football playoffs. This year the Bears' ticket to Paris got punched following an impressive 53-16 thrashing of the Piggott Mohawks in the opening round of the 2012 playoffs. The Bears hope this year's trip to Paris yields similar results as last year when Barton began its march to the championship game in Little Rock with a 28-8 victory over the Eagles. Barton literally had a field day last Friday against the Mohawks in which they reeled off 33 points in the opening quarter. The Bears got balanced scoring as they posted eight touchdowns on the night. Corey Anderson and Kedrick Jackson scored a pair of touchdowns each. Anderson's scores came on runs of 12 and 1 yards. Jackson hauled in a 23-yard pass from quarterback Laquarius Hall and later scored on a 19-yard run. Anderson's younger brother, Cameron, began the Bears' scoring onslaught with a 60-yard run on Barton's first play from scrimmage. Barton's other scores came on a 7-yard run by Hall, a 7-yard run by Chobee Scaife and a 95-yard fumble recovery by Justice Cole on the final play of the contest. Cole also had a pair of interceptions on the night on defense. Paris enters Friday's clash with Barton fresh off a 39-7 thrashing of the West Fork Tigers in the playoffs opening round. The Eagles are hoping to avenge last season's opening round playoff loss to Barton that dashed their championship hopes early on. The Eagles are coming off a successful 9-2 campaign in 2011. Their current 9-2 mark is Paris' fourth consecutive winning season with eight or more victories. Paris is 6-1 in 4-3A play with their only loss coming at the hands of eventual conference champion Charleston Tigers. The team's strength is its recent success. The Eagles built on that success with five returning starters on offense and seven returners on the defensive side of the ball. However, Paris did lose six starters on offense to graduation. On offense, senior Casey Dishongh (6-1, 190) is an all-4-3A performer at fullback. Jordyn Coronado (5-10, 190) anchors the offensive line as a third-year all-conference lineman. Linebacker Ryan Spencer (5-10, 170) was all-conference last fall as a linebacker. On paper, the Bears, 10-1, and Eagles 9-2 appear to be evenly matched. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. A Barton victory would pit the Bears against the winner of the Fountain Lake-Rivercrest matchup on Nov. 16.

This Saturday, May 2 is National Free Comic Book Day, and according to the Daily Feed News report on May 1, it looks like there's going to be a party and free comics! You're invited to join the guest list that includes: Spongebob Squarepants, The Power Rangers, Hello Kitty, and Archie, the Guardians of the Galaxy, just to name a few.
Joe Field, a California book retailer, said one day he had an "epiphany" after witnessing the long line at Baskin-Robins ice cream parlor, as patrons waited for their free scoop of ice cream. Free books, Field thought, "This could easily be adapted to comics." In 2001 he published his idea in Comics & Games Retailer magazine, and the next year the first annual Free Comic Book Day event was held and spread throughout the country. Field estimates that this event reaches shops in at least 65 countries.
The history of the first comic book, according to the most avid collectors, began when FUNNIES ON PARADE, published in 1933, ran a collection of newspaper strip reprints, featuring old time favorites as Mutt & Jeff, Joe Palooka, and Hairbreadth Harry. But the comic book craze really started to take off with the publication of ACTION COMICS #1 in June 1938, when The Man of Steel, Superman, made his appearance.
Thanks to the popularity of the radio from 1942 through 1947, and their evening stories, including "Dragnet," "Crime Classics," and "The Shadow," came the next wave of comics; fueling the newsstands with continuing stories with the hot new trend of crime and gangsters, following in the late 40's and 50's with the horror film craze, and rounding it out during the late 50's and the early 60's with the reintroduction of the updated and modern version of the 'superheroes of yesteryear' beginning with The Flash.
Many comic book shops around the country will be featuring special events, and the rumor is that a superhero or two just may make an appearance!
The Green Brain Comics in Dearborn, will be celebrating this year with what promises to be the most 'diverse slate of free comics it has ever offered.' They will have over 50 different free comic books available for every age, taste and reading level, co-owner of Green Brain Comics, Dan Merritt said.
