Barcelona Rallies to Tie PSG
The Journal provides minute-by-minute analysis of the Champions League quarterfinal game between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. The teams tied 2-2 in the first-leg match last week at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris. Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg provide commentary.
As dangerous as Paris Saint-Germain against Barcelona in the first leg of their quarterfinal matchup last week in France, and as optimistic as it was after the game, the reality is that last Tuesday almost doesn't matter.
If Paris is going to topple Barcelona for a place in the semifinals, then it has to win tonight at Camp Nou. The problem is that it may just be the hardest place in Europe to visit in the Champions League. Barcelona is unbeaten in its last 20 Champions League home games, a run that includes 16 victories and just four draws.
Even a 0-0 or a 1-1 tie would be enough to see the Spanish side through. The first leg could have gone either way.
PSG started better, taking the fight to Barcelona, but found itself down 1-0 at the half. It equalized through Zlatan Ibrahimovic before conceding a soft penalty kick three minutes from full time. That seemed to seal the game for Barcelona, until Blaise Matuidi made it 2-2 with the last kick of the night. Where PSG might find a sliver hope is that it isn't facing a classic Barcelona lineup. Lionel Messi starts on the bench, still carrying the thigh problem that forced him off at halftime of the first leg.
And the situation in central defense is less reassuring than usual: Carles Puyol and Javier Mascherano are both out, so it will be Adriano alongside Gerard Pique. Still, how bad can it really be when you've got Fabregas, Xavi, and Iniesta in your lineup?
So here's how the home side looks tonight: Valdes (GK), Alves, Pique, Alba, Adriano, Fabregas, Xavi Hernandez, Iniesta, Busquets, Villa, Pedro Rodriguez For PSG, the significant change from the first leg is that David Beckham doesn't start. He's replaced in the lineup by the young Italian playmaker Massimo Verratti.
Thiago Motta also returns for the visitors in place of the suspended Matuidi. Here's the PSG side: Sirigu (GK), Thiago Silva, Alex, Maxwell, Jallet, Verratti, Pastore, Thiago Motta, Lucas, Lavezzi, Ibrahimovic.
0-0, 1st minute
Here we go! PSG gets things started.
0-0, 1st minute
Marco Verratti, whom I mistakenly called Massimo earlier, makes a mistake of his own by giving away a free kick about 25 yards out. Xavi stands over it and curls it right-footed. It comes so close to Sirigu's right post that half the stadium thinks it's gone in. Shots fired.
0-0, 3rd minute
PSG counters immediately with a weak attempt by Lavezzi, who hit the post early in the first leg. But as expected, the bulk of the possession is already with Barcelona as they patiently try to carve out an opening.
0-0, 5th minute
That should have been a chance for PSG! Busquets is dispossessed by Lavezzi, but he doesn't look up as he bears down on goal and, in the end, can't make a real opportunity of it.
0-0, 6th minute
Barcelona wins an indirect free kick on the edge of the PSG box after a bizarre incident that saw Thiago Silva slip on his backside while taking a free kick of his own. The kick goes straight into the wall and the danger is cleared. Moments later, Fabregas goes down rather easily in the PSG box. The penalty kick is rightly denied by the referee.
0-0, 8th minute
It's absolutely all Barcelona right now. Fabregas feeds Iniesta on the edge of the PSG box. His shot is well blocked by the already busy combination of Alex and Thiago Silva. It results in an unproductive corner kick.
0-0, 9th minute
Somehow, we're still scoreless at Camp Nou, but if the opening nine minutes are any indication, we won't have to wait long for a goal. Both teams have had chances in a frenetic start to this game and now Barcelona are really starting to take control. Tough to see PSG holding out for much longer if Barca keeps this up.
0-0, 12th minute
Confident much? Iniesta tries a shot from a full 40 yards out! He sees Sirigu off his line and tries to chip it over the goalkeeper, but it goes just over.
0-0, 15th minute
In contrast to Iniesta's confidence, PSG have looked very nervy for most of this game, struggling to get the ball out of their own end for much of the game. But they're starting to find their feet now, passing the ball around with more assurance and creating decent chances for Lucas Moura and Maxwell in the last couple of minutes.
0-0, 14th minute
Good work by PSG on both flanks—Pastore on the left, Jallet on the right—opens up a decent chance for Lucas Moura, whose low shot is saved well by Valdes. Moments later, Lavezzi cuts inside from the left and eliminated Busquets to open up a shot, but it's well over.
0-0, 17th minute
Alves is finding some freedom pushing forward on the right for Barcelona, just as he did in the first leg. Pastore didn't do a good job on him that night (especially when Alves found Messi for the opening goal) and he hasn't improved much tonight. Just now, Alves saw an opening and found Villa in the box, but the shot goes wide.
0-0, 21st minute
Pedro attacks the PSG penalty area from the left, getting around Jallet and crossing toward one of the three Barca jerseys marauding in the goalmouth. But Sirigu gets down in time to push it away and PSG hastily clears the danger. For now at least.
0-0, 28th minute
Iniesta is having a dynamite game here and has been at the heart of everything good Barca has done so far. Like everyone else ion this Barca team, he often gets overshadowed by Lionel Messi's intergalactic brilliance, but it makes you wonder how he'd be perceived if Messi had never played for Barcelona. Would he be this generation's answer to Zinedine Zidane?
0-0, 28th minute
Chance for PSG! Alves is nowhere to be seen as PSG gets two chances to cross from the left. The first, from Lavezzi, is cleared. But the second, by Ibrahimovic, finds Lucas Moura rising above Jordi Alba at the back post. He heads at goal and Valdes is there to push it over. Nervous moments for the home side, and a reminder that this tie is far from over.
0-0, 33rd minute
PSG attacks through the middle this time, with Pastore threading through a pass to Lucas Moura. It all gets too crowded for him to play a cross, but it sets up a corner kick.
0-0, 34th minute
And as one corner begets another, Alex rises above the back to make contact. He beat his marker, though not by enough to turn it into a real chance.
0-0, 35th minute
Barcelona's "tiki-taka" style of play is rightly lauded for its creativity, but one of the underrated aspects of their possession-oriented style is how effective it can be as a defensive tactic. With PSG taking a grip on the game midway through the first half, Barcelona proceeded to casually pass the ball between them for at least one minute, taking the sting out of the game and stopping the French team's momentum. They keep the ball so capably that it can sometimes be used like a timeout in basketball.
0-0, 36th minute
David Villa breaks into the PSG box from the left and, for once, doesn't have a single teammate to aim for. Pedro was the only one anywhere close to him, arriving late. So Villa whips a ball across and it doesn't go anywhere.
0-0, 38th minute
With all the cuts to Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova, a disgruntled Carlo Ancelotti, a concerned-looking David Beckham, and a fidgety Lionel Messi, it seems like there are four separate cameras trained on the benches tonight.
Meanwhile, Iniesta again plays an incisive ball to Villa, who turns and shoots well over the bar.
0-0, 41st minute
This time it's Fabregas with the shot from 20 yards out—after, naturally, a pass from Iniesta. Sirigu is happy to watch it go over. He hasn't actually had that much to do since defending a cross about 20 minutes ago.
0-0, 41st minute
With Messi on the bench, Barcelona are starting to look a bit bereft of ideas when they get the ball near the PSG goal. They've had a lot of possession in dangerous areas, but whenever they cross the ball into the penalty area, there is no one there to receive it and without Messi to create chances for himself, they look a lot less threatening.
0-0, 43rd minute
Strong finish to the half from Barcelona but it's still scoreless as Iniesta gets too much on his attempted cross and it drifts behind.
0-0, 43rd minute
Adriano gives away a free kick moer than 25 yards out and Zlatan Ibrahimovic decides it's a shooting chance. No one even stands over the ball with him. In the first leg, he forced a brilliant save from Valdes on a free kick, but this time, it's straight into the wall. You would think that from that kind of range, it might serve PSG to try a cross—they have the height advantage over Barca, and that Spanish defense is notoriously shaky in the air.
0-0, 46th minute
Iniesta plays a cross like Maxwell isn't even there. Unfortunately, neither are his teammates. No one attacks it and runs away from danger.
0-0, halftime
That'll do it for the first half.
0-0, Halftime
Barcelona's had a lot of relatively harmless possession in this game, failing to find a killer final ball to create an excellent chance. The best chances, in fact, have belonged to Paris. Specifically, Lavezzi was played nearly through by Ibrahimovic and couldn't get his shot far enough away from Valdes in the Barcelona goal. The home side, meanwhile, has resorted mostly to long efforts that haven't tested Sirigu.
0-0, Halftime
It's not a particularly sophisticated stat, but it tells you everything you need to know about how badly Barcelona misses Messi: The home side has had exactly zero shots on target in this first half.
0-0, 46th minute
And we're back!
0-0, 47th minute
It's not like Barcelona to change things up at halftime, so they haven't. Still the same lineup, still the same patient approach. But one thing that may be worth noting is that we haven't seen Messi do so much as a single stretch in the first half: Does that mean he's not actually in Barca's plans tonight?
0-0, 48th minute
Sounds like the Marseillaise is ringing out inside Camp Nou. It's a nice sentiment from the Paris fans, except their side has exactly one Frenchman on the pitch right now.
0-0, 48th minute
Barcelona are pressing PSG high up the pitch, as is customary. But whenever PSG break through the press, Barcelona looks distinctly vulnerable. PSG just worked another promising opening after a lightning counterattack, although the final cross was too heavy this time.
1-0 PSG, 50th minute
Goal! Pastore puts Paris in front!
1-0 PSG, 51st minute
That goal came from another dangerous break when Barcelona's high pressure just invited PSG to counter. Pastore combined beautifully with Ibrahimovic, who dropped deep to play the one-two, and he finished well under pressure.
1-0 PSG, 52nd minute
Countdown to Lionel Messi's introduction starts now…
1-0 PSG, 54th minute
So as it stands, PSG would progress to the semifinals with a 3-2 advantage on aggregate. Of course, a Barcelona equalizer would be enough to send the Spanish side through on away goals.
And, right on cue, Messi is warming up.
1-0 PSG, 55th minute
We haven't mentioned him much, but Verratti is doing an excellent job in the Parisian midfield. Almost without leaving his own half of the field, he's making a nuisance of himself in the face of Xavi and Iniesta and playing smart outlet passes to get those PSG breaks started.
1-0 PSG, 58th minute
A rather tame effort at a cross, maybe a shot, seems to go off Alex on its way behind the goal. The Barca players are upset when it's given as a goal kick. But the real takeaway from that moment is that David Villa just hasn't been very good tonight. He's been largely supplanted up front by the runs of Cesc Fabregas, and his passing just hasn't troubled PSG. I wouldn't be surprised if he were the first player replaced by Barcelona.
1-0 PSG, 59th minute
Real panic at the back now for Barca. Pastore just broke through and dragged his shot wide. And then Valdes makes a mess of his clearance, sending it straight back to Paris, before Verratti is fouled in a somewhat dangerous position from 35 yards.
1-0 PSG, 57th minute
Signs that Barcelona are starting to freak out here: Valdes clears the ball straight to a PSG player off a goal kick and then Adriano scythes down Veratti in a dangerous position. This is starting to feel like last year's game against Chelsea all over again.
1-0 PSG, 60th minute
Lucas Moura puts the free kick on target and it's easily stopped by Valdes. Again, should PSG have tried to chip it into the area?
1-0 PSG, 62nd minute
Here comes Messi…
1-0 PSG, 63rd minute
Fit or not, here comes Messi.
1-0 PSG, 63rd minute
Strange that Messi would come on for Fabregas and not Villa, who has certainly been the more harmless of the two. Marc Bartra also comes on in place of Adriano.
1-0 PSG, 64th minute
I don't know a lot about Marc Bartra, but Wikipedia tells me he's a central defender with 10 career appearances for Barcelona. That resume doesn't exactly scream savior, but there you go…
1-0 PSG, 65th minute
Two great chances for Barca! First Iniesta tries to bend one around Sirigu, who punches it clear. But it goes straight to the feet of Messi, who (gasp) fails to control it faced with open goal!
1-0 PSG, 67th minute
Maybe I haven't paid close enough attention to the movements of Javier Pastore, but isn't he nominally a left back? He keeps cropping up through the middle of midfield, or even at center forward. Look, I'm not saying it's not working—he did score the goal—but at what point did Carlo Ancelotti think to himself, "Yes, I'll have Pastore at left back and at number 9″?
1-0 PSG, 68th minute
Messi is in. (DANIEL LA RUSSO IS GOING TO FIGHT)
1-0 PSG, 69th minute
There's that aerial dominance that PSG hasn't taken advantage of enough tonight. Alex and Ibrahimovic trade headers in the PSG box and the ball almost drops in time for Ibrahimovic to poke it home. Valdes reacts quickly and collects it before a real chance can materialize.
1-1, 71st minute
Goal! Pedro levels it!
1-1, 72nd minute
Messi just had to be involved. He plays the pass into David Villa, who taps it back to Pedro. And Pedro just slams it to Sirigu's left. So as it stands, Barca would go through on the back of its two away goals in Paris.
(Incidentally, Pastore started tonight on the left side of midfield, further forward than he played in the first leg when he was practically a left back against Dani Alves.)
1-0 PSG, 73rd minute
Turns out that even at half speed, that Messi guy is pretty good. It was his flicked through-pass that created that opening from which Barcelona scored and pretty much since he came on, Barcelona have looked a lot more dangerous going forwards.
1-1, 80th minute
And Lavezzi goes in the book.
1-1, 80th minute
Barcelona are now employing another of their customary tactics: rolling around on the ground and appealing for divine intervention while the clock slowly ticks down. Jordi Alba was definitely fouled by Lavezzi, but his reaction was more than a little dramatic.
1-1, 82nd minute
That will also be the last contribution of Lavezzi's night. Like in the first leg, he had an excellent chance in the first half, but no goal to show for it. He's replaced by the energetic Kevin Gameiro. PSG has just about 10 minutes to keep its Champions League campaign alive.
1-1, 82nd minute
Here comes Beckham…
1-1, 84th minute
Beckham replaces Marco Verratti, perhaps hoping for a couple of set pieces, while Barcelona replaces Villa with Alex Song, a defensive switch.
1-1, 84th minute
Loud jeers for Beckham as he enters the field from the Camp Nou fans, who haven't forgotten his four years with archrival Real Madrid.
1-1, 86th minute
Thiago Silva, described as a monster by his own manager, hacks down Messi just as he looks ready to take off on a run. He draws a yellow card for it.
1-1, 87th minute
Does what Iniesta just did even have a name? He eliminated two PSG defenders in the box while looking to his left but sweeping the ball around to his right with the outside of his right foot. He does it all in a single, fluid motion and opens up a great chance for himself before firing wide.
1-1, 90th minute
These Barca players are dropping like flies. And Beckham doesn't like it. He has a good long word with the referee, who is probably about his age, and goes in the book. His only contribution of the night.
1-1, 90th minute
Barcelona are back to doing that thing where the opposition doesn't get a sniff of the ball. Frustrating few minutes for PSG.
1-1, 91st minute
We're into the first of four minutes of stoppage time.
1-1, 93rd minute
PSG trying to lump it forward to Ibrahimovic, the same tactic that got them the late equalizer last week, but it's not getting them anywhere here.
1-1, Final
And that's it! Barcelona didn't beat Paris in either leg, but will advance to the semifinals of the Champions League.
1-1, Final
Rough outcome for PSG who were arguably the better team over the two legs. As he usually does, Lionel Messi made the difference though and Barcelona are through the semifinals for the sixth season in succession—a Champions League record.
1-1, Final
It seems a little easy to say that this game turned with the arrival of Messi in the second half, but there's a lot of truth to it. His arrival injected some energy back into the side and, ultimately, he was at the origin of Barcelona's goal, canceling out Javier Pastore's earlier strike.
Meanwhile, in tonight's other game, Bayern sank Juventus 2-0 to secure its trip back to the semifinals. That means that the four teams in the hat for Friday's draw feature two from Germany (Bayern and Borussia Dortmund) and two from Spain (Real Madrid and Barca, who else?).

Posted on 08/02/2012 11:05:08 AM PDT by library user
Facebook's share price dipped below $20 on Thursday after reporting slowing growth and an admission of an alarming number of fake accounts.
In a quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the social media company said that as many as 83 million of its accounts are fake.
It also reported that as many as five percent of its active users have duplicate accounts.
Facebook members grew to 955 million this year.
It says 1.5 percent of its accounts are likely spam or accounts set up for other malicious activity. The fake accounts are concentrated in developing markets, according to the filing.
It also blames people who set up accounts for non-human entities, such as pets.
There are "inherent challenges" in measuring usage," the social network said.
"We are continually seeking to improve our ability to identify duplicate or false accounts and estimate the total number of such accounts, and such estimates may be affected by improvements or changes in our methodology," the filing continued.
The number of real users is important for Facebook as it seeks to sell advertising.
Probably under 10 million (regularly active users).
So ILLEGALS are affecting their economy as well? smurk smurk
If I'd been thinking, mine would have been fake too. I put in a minimal amount of factual data but even so, the FB snoopiness is disturbing. I just use it to access a few conservative pages so no big deal to just pull the plug, but what's out there is out there forever.
My Dog has a Facebook account managed by my Daughter.
The dog has about 50 friends who are cats and dogs.
And you arrived at that how?
Agree I've got a FB account with a fake name and throwaway email address.
That's where I get my daily talking points from Cain and Palin.
Total number of accounts aren't really indicative of anything more than unused profiles, at the minimum.
Facebook actually has to show how many eyeballs see ads and the dormant accounts wouldn't go into that profile.
The burden of proof is not on me, Mr. Zuckerberg.
Even with a fake name, you can be uniquely identified by the set of your friends, if somebody wants to look for you. Yet another reason to have multiple FB accounts (or none, like me)
My FB account is totally fake. I only used it a couple of times to get into some deals on the internet that required a Facebook account. Otherwise, I have never used it.
Why weren't 'real users' important when they offered stock in the company?
Which is easy to figure: the number of page views from unique IP addresses per day.
IMHO, they should consider it a feature, not a bug. The alternative is going to be a much more limited FB architecture and a huge exodus of users and content providers.
60 million of them created by Indian outsourcing firms in order to "Like" Mitt Romney. /sarc
Harry Reid...is that you?
I'm not dogging on Drudge, cuz I like the guy, but I think the reason he gets so many hits is cuz if you leave his page up on your PC all day, everytime he updates his site (which is dozens, if not hundreds, of times per day) the page auto-refreshes on your screen, which produces copious additional hits per user.
If I go to Drudge at 6am and leave my PC alone, not clicking on anything all day, I bet he gets 50-100 hits, just from my computer alone.
Several of my friends had multiple accounts for exactly that reason. Not so much CHEATING at Farmville, but one account for games, one account for everything else, to keep down some of the spam to their personal feed.
There's a Catbook app (with variants for basically every beastie I've ever seen kept as a pet, including rodents and ferrets) for those doing "pet pages" tho. Much easier than a separate signin.
I have a fake account. My fake personna:
Went to a real high school in a city I've never been to. (large so I could be anonymous).
Graduated from high school at least ten years ago. Same reason.
Graduated from a large university with a specific degree that is common for that school.
Works at a large facility for a large company that has everything from manufacturing to office jobs in the same city - A city I've never been to.
I've accepted many friend requests and then requests from "friends of these friends" though I never communicate with any of them.
The persona serves three functions.
1. I use it to confirm my privacy settings on my real account.
2. I use it to try out facebook applications that I don't want connected to my real account (games and such).
3. The main reason: Post comments under stories at various news sites that require you to log in with facebook, twitter, disqus, etc. Anonymity.
I'm sure others do the same.
"Dormant" accounts creating bad traffic estimates aren't the real problem. The REAL problem is that FB can't make any money off of the petabytes of fake data that is stored on their servers. They have to pay to host it, but they can't sell it. Worse (for them), any data which do sell must be carefully screened and filtered, which costs additional time and money, and there is still no guarantee that the data is any good.
The solution to this problem is to NOT have selling your user's private information to third parties as the chief cornerstone of your business model.
Uhhh. No. There are probably 10 million active users between the ages of 13-24 in the US alone. Most high school girls have a facebook page that they are on constantly...and there are about 6 million of them...
advertisers on facebook can pay two ways that I know of:
Pay per View - some pennies each time your advert apears on the screen of a viewer.
Pay per Click - pay each time your advert is clicked on (linked to your website.)
If I thought Obama was in pay per click mode, I would hit his adds every time I saw one.
Either way, total number of accounts doesn't play into the formula.
The time to deal with this was years ago. But then again, had FB required ID verification from day one it would never have been a technology leader. Openness, flexibility and anonymity are all part of the FB "special sauce." You can't pull them out now any more easily than you can pull the wheels off a moving car, and not withut similar results.
Fake in what sense? Did the company create them to appear larger and of greater value, or are they accounts set up to deceive as to whom is posting?
I don't facebook because of their tracking of your activity after you log out; I don't trust them not to sell information to undesirables, like the regime for example. I've been trying to figure out a way to set up a "fake" account but have not a clue where to start. Once they have my IP number, they can track everything I do, I've heard.
I use my 3-legged dog's account to do all that stuff.
Search for Spunky and then the latin word for "3 feet" and you'll find him...
FB is just a ponzi scheme.
That's Dan Rather. Fake but accurate. And he stands by that.
I often wondered about that. In fact, I'll bet half the FB accounts are duplicates. I've got two myself. One for the family/relatives group, and one for my generation of friends. Pretty easy to do, just set it up with one of those generic Hotmail email addresses. Virtually all my friends have several accounts each for exactly the same reason....isolating family from the horrors of unpredictable "friends".
I'm going to have to talk to my Facebook friends Amanda Hugandkiss and Al Coholic about this.
My bad, thanks for the correction.
I don't facebook because I don't see the damn point!
Do they vote? I bet they sign some of those online petitions.
I don't have a FB account. I'm a loser I suppose. I just don't see the value in it.
Actually, I dont. I hate social media, and I am not a Luddite by any means. I have a FB account that sees VERY little usage.
Your post has given me the idea to create a fake ID like you did, specifically because so many sites now require a FB account, and I refuse to expose myself that way. Thanks!
My fake account was used to keep track of certain family members. No friends, photos, blah blah blah *look at me* posts...nothing. I'm actually pretty proud of my shadow persona. My siblings get a kick out of referring to my alias :)
I'm glad to hear your dog is not cataphobic. LOL
Same I have done, fake account, just to keep eye on certain relatives. Absolutely, no *Look at me" picture or comments or post.
They've known this all along. They should be in jail for putting out false information in their IPO.
It better not be - it has two cats that live with it.
Neither of them are on Facebook - they consider it a waste of time that could be better spent taking a nap.
1/6th of the world is on facebook. Right.
Reminds me when Myspace dropped the registration age from 18 down to 13 a few months before they IPOed the stock to boost the number of users. Didn't the stock drop to half the price within a year (as liberals abandoned the NewsCorp owned company)?
He might be. How would we know?
... I would hit his adds every time I saw one.
That's akin to sending a load of sh*t back to AARP in their Postage Paid Business Reply Envelope every time they send an offer to join. I like it!
So, I'd consider clicking his ads, just in case. But, I have add-ons to block ads in my browsers and I'm not sure I care to disable them.
Unless users live as non-opinionated Saints and especially when visiting fb, they are insane to advertise their lives on the Internet like that.
My husband foresaw the consequences of opening one's life to FB and forbid anyone from doing it.
One son took his warning; the other opened an account once he got into college. He was soon sorry. His dad collected some pics the kid really did not want to share with dear ole dad. The story is, mom has not seen them. :)
I have a "real" FB account on which I post nothing but links to articles referenced by FR; there's no point in posting anything else since the discourse of my "friends" is otherwise too insipid to bother with. And I have a "fake" FB account I use exclusively to access dozens of sites that allow commentary. The "fake" account uses one of my noms de guerre (war names)for such commentary. The "fake" FB account also keeps my "real" FB account from being consumed by all the FB crap injected by the commentary sites.
"The dog has about 50 friends who are cats and dogs."
Wow! I'm impressed! Your dog has more FB "friends" than I do!

Guests from the U.S. who wish to adopt a pet in Aruba are encouraged to advise the resort in advance so they can be connected with a local organization that will help find a dog or cat that is the right match. Or, if one of our guests happens to fall in love with a stray while they are here, we are happy to help them out as well. Bucuti covers the costs of any necessary veterinary services, medication and the documentation, as well as a kennel to transport the animal to his new home. (Quarantine restrictions within the E.U. currently prohibit us to extend the program to our European guests.)
Help Animal Rights Aruba build a Shelter
ARA has received a piece of land and a plan was drawn up by a local artchitect. Funds are needed to build this shelter to help house dogs and cats while they recover from spay & neutering surgery or to await a foster home or adoption after being saved from abuse. You can donate via bank transfer and help reduce the animal population on the streets.
Judge a Recycled Crafts Contest
Bucuti's Green Team organizes an event several times a year whereby Bucuti associates are invited to create crafts from recycled items and enter them in a competition. Guests are invited to be judges during a lively celebration and exhibition of the recycled submissions. Events take place at Christmas time (Recycled Christmas crafts), Halloween (Recycled costumes and decor), Spring and Summer. Our concierge team can inform you if an event will take place during your stay.

White Space... what is it?
The term 'White Space' refers to portions of licensed radio spectrum that licensees do not use all of the time or in all geographical locations. Several regulators around the world are moving towards allowing unlicensed access to these frequencies, subject to the proviso that licensed transmissions are not adversely affected. By allowing access to these White Space frequencies, more effective and efficient use of the radio spectrum is envisaged. Read More

A beautiful, but destitute woman dies giving birth to a son in a wretched British workhouse without telling anyone her name. The boy is named Oliver by a workhouse official. Oliver lives, abused and half starved, in the workhouse until the age of twelve. After being unfairly punished for defending his mother's reputation, Oliver escapes and flees to London where he is befriended by a juvenile band of petty thieves and prostitutes led by a criminal mastermind named Fagin. Being young and naive, Oliver does not appreciate the nature of their business and is caught by surprise when his friend Jack steals a silk handkerchief from a wealthy gentleman named Brownlow. Brownlow wrongly accuses Oliver of the theft. When Oliver's innocence is proven in court, Brownlow takes pity on him and invites him into his home. Brownlow, who finds Oliver to be vaguely familiar, introduces him to his friend and neighbour Mr. Griffith. Griffith, however, is unsympathetic to Oliver's plight and predicts that he will betray Brownlow's trust. Angry at losing such a valuable apprentice and fearful that he will reveal his whereabouts to the police, Fagin arranges for his protégés Bill Sikes and Nancy to kidnap Oliver. Determined to commit Oliver to a life of crime, Fagin sends him out on a robbery with the brutal Sikes and his associate Toby Crackit. On the night of the robbery, Sikes puts Oliver through a small window and orders him, under the threat of death, to open the front door. After doing so, Oliver recognizes that he is in Mr. Griffith's house and shouts a warning. Griffith appears with a pistol and shoots at the intruders. Oliver is shot. While Sikes runs off, Crackit secretly carries Oliver to the front steps of the nearby Brownlow residence. Brownlow nurses Oliver back to health and sets out to determine his true identity. Through his network of spies, Fagin learns of Oliver's whereabouts and conspires with Sikes to have him murdered. Nancy, who overhears their conversation, is distraught with grief over her role in kidnapping Oliver and bringing him back under Fagin's malevolent control. Despite the danger to her own life, Nancy resolves to make amends by warning Brownlow of the threat on Oliver's life. In the pages that follow, the lives of all of the characters are thrown into turmoil as friendships are tested and loyalties betrayed.

Best multi vitamine that I know of
Posted by 5313026918771625640 on Sep 14, 2013
Have been taking off and on this multi vitamine, after a couple of months I get sloppy and think I can do without. NOT... Then I start to feel a bit weaker and I am thinking " hey.. lets take some vitamine".. This product always does the trick!. Since the pills are quite large, I ground them in the kitchen robot and mix it with my yoghurt in the morning. This is the best product for me and my family. And ordering via iHerb is easy, and very quick at a very reasonable price..

The best multi vitamin you can buy. It is a complete product with many minerals and vitamins in a high dosage. Specially for those recovering after illness, during stressful periods, and during the winter when you need this little bit extra. After searching the internet I found this is the site with the best price for this product. Delivered in Europa (Holland) within 5 days after ordering, so reliable and fast. Perfectly packed no damage to the product.

For Phish fans this acoustic "Stash" and "Wolfman's Brother" is not to be missed. The "Wolfman's" starts off with Trey on piano and evolves into an improvised vocal jam with audience as well as the Scorchio Quintet improvising in the moment on their instruments.
Great little show with some cool stories about the creation of Phish classics thrown in. Very cool that Tom Marshall duets with Trey on "Strange Design" as well.

Is Pete Carroll Trapped Up There? Someone Help Him Down
Please someone grab a ladder.
Please someone grab a ladder.
The Seattle Seahawks have released a statement with an update on wide receiver Ricardo Lockette's condition.
Midway through the fourth quarter, with Seattle down seven and driving, Russell Wilson was picked off by Jayrone Elliott on an attempted screen pass. But Elliott coughed up the ball, and after the pile-on was cleared, Seahawks tackle Justin Britt came up with it. Packers ball, the officials said. Carroll would love to…
The Seahawks lost a wild one in overtime in St. Louis today. Nick Foles took the field for the first time as a Ram and he was very solid with 297 yards and touchdowns via air and ground, but the truly remarkable part of the game was the *fart noise* that was the Seahawks' overtime effort.
In the second quarter of last night's Broncos-Seahawks preseason opener, Tyler Lockett broke off a 103-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. The Seahawks drafted Lockett, who led all FBS players in yards per punt return in 2014, to break off big returns like this and they were understandably pumped when he did.
Hi, Pete Carroll. Nice of you to make an appearance. Yes, that is a camera. Oh, you're—okay, bye!
On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks made a grievously bad playcall, and Malcolm Butler won the Super Bowl for the Patriots, and millions of football-watching Americans reeled in reflexive disbelief at the sheer boneheadedness on display.
Inside the NFL aired last night, and among those mic'd up were Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and Patriots QB Tom Brady. And let's just cut to the part we all came for: the noises each made when Malcolm Butler picked off Russell Wilson to steal the championship for New England.
Pete Carroll, who subscribes to one of the more explosive conspiracy theories out there, categorically denies any truth to the conspiracy theory that the Seahawks' desire to make a Super Bowl hero out of Russell Wilson and not Marshawn Lynch led him to overrule the fateful playcall.
Legacies turn on so little. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick take their places among the greatest of all time, and Pete Carroll instantly goes from defending champion/genius to goat, all thanks to one inexplicable play call, yes, but even more so because of one aggressive move from a rookie who wasn't even supposed to be…
Presumably, you've seen this play by now. But repeated viewing is instructive, because enough looks at this miscarriage of tactics should put the lie to any rationalizations you might be batting around.
Here is Pete Carroll fumbling around an explanation for why he decided to throw against the Patriots on 2nd-and-1 from the one-yard line instead of unleashing Marshawn Lynch a couple of times. In the next day or two you will read hundreds of paragraphs about why it was a bad decision, but I think this unnamed Seahawk…
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, a bold truth seeker who isn't afraid to ask the difficult questions about what really happened on Sept. 11, 2001, has become a bit of a hero to those in the 9/11 truther movement.
Seattle Times staff columnist Jerry Brewer's latest column begins with a conversation he had with Seattle Seahawks head coach and noted 9/11 truther Pete Carroll over a year ago. Somehow, the conversation veered into Carroll laying out his plan for handling the war in Iraq.
Rumors have had Jarryd Hayne talking with the Seahawks, so at his press conference yesterday, Pete Carroll was peppered with questions about the rugby league star who announced this week he's leaving Australia to chase his NFL dreams. He performed admirably, gushing about Hayne. The Seahawks PR guy then came out to…
Pete Carroll and the Seahawks will be fined approximately $300,000 for "excessive contact between players during a June 16 practice," according to Chris Mortensen. The team will also lose two minicamp practices next season. Another report said the NFL Players Association looked into a possible violation after a fight…
Send stories, photos, and anything else you might have to email@example.com.
On Thursday, before the draft started, Pete Carroll fired off a series of tweets with the hashtag "SeahawksDraftClues." Included within the tweets were videos from relatively famous comedy bits or movies, with the idea being that followers could find a clue to a Seattle draft pick somewhere within the clip. It's like …

Halford has missed the last two matches through suspension after collecting his 10th yellow card of the season.
The defender's inclusion is expected to be the only change to manager Billy Davies' squad.
That means Billy Sharp (chest infection) and Darius Henderson (knee) will remain on the sidelines, leaving Dexter Blackstock and Simon Cox as the only available strikers.
Davies, who this week said he would like to bolster his attacking options, may make changes to his starting line-up after seeing Forest labour to a late 1-0 home win over nine-man Ipswich on Tuesday night.
On-loan Chelsea full-back Sam Hutchinson, who made his long-awaited return from a knee injury as a substitute against the Tractor Boys, fellow defender Jamaal Lascelles and midfielders Guy Moussi, Lewis McGugan, Jonathan Greening and Stephen McLaughlin are options for the Scot.
Davies thinks on-loan Norwich centre-half Daniel Ayala (hamstring) is around a week away from a return, while defender Dan Harding (calf) and Kuwaiti goalkeeper Khaled Al Rashidi (back) are also making good progress.

At the conclusion of the 63rd UN Joint Staff Pension Board meeting that took place at the IAEA Headquarters in Vienna, Austria from the 14 - 22 July 2016; following seven days of presentations, considerations and debates the Board drafted the following statement for immediate release.
Vienna, Austria: 22 July 2016 - The United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund is in a sound financial position and has a positive actuarial status as confirmed by the Consulting Actuary and Committee of Actuaries. As at 21 July 2016 the assets of the Fund were valued at US$ 54.2 billion. The members of the Board want to reassure the participants, the retirees and the beneficiaries that the Fund is able to meet its pension and benefit payment obligations over the long term.
The Fund's investments adhere to the criteria of Safety, Liquidity, Convertibility, and Profitability as established by the UN General Assembly, and the long-term rate of return investment objective of the Fund is 3.5%. This criteria and rate ensure that the Fund is invested conservatively.
The Board recognized the adverse impact that the delayed payment of pension benefits is having on some new retirees. Aware of the multiple causes for these delays, the Board addressed the responsibility of the Fund, and supported measures introduced by the Fund to improve caseload processing and welcomed initiatives to strengthen client services and communications. The Board also took extraordinary measures, approving additional temporary resources and accepting that the Fund look into making provisional payments. The Board will continue to provide support to the management of the Fund and will inform stakeholders of developments as these delays are resolved.
The Board welcomed the establishment of the Fund's own financial rules along with the updated investment policy (which includes strategic asset allocation). In addition, the Board considered a range of matters related to the Fund's administration, investments, and oversight.
The Board recognizes and supports the efforts and dedication of the Fund's management and staff who fulfil, on a daily basis, a complex mandate, serving over 126,000 participants and some 71,000 retirees and beneficiaries.
The Board is confident that the Fund is safe and that the Fund's future is secure. The Board will meet again in July 2017.
* The United Nations Joint Staff Pension Board administers the Fund and is composed of three constituent groups representing Participants, Governing Bodies and the Executive Heads with participation of representatives of the Federation of Associations of Former International Civil Servants and observers. There are numerous checks and balances built into the governance of the Fund, including audits by internal and external auditors and the Board's Audit Committee.

"Queen City of the Trails" Independence by sambarnett
Independence Travel Guide: 54 reviews and 134 photos
���Even considering the proximity, you cannot simply refer to Independence as a suburb of Kansas City. There's just too much distinctive history here and you could spend days discovering it around each corner. Pioneers have been stopping here for over 150 years, you should too!
���Unfortunately I only had an afternoon here, leaving only enough time to visit a few of the sites. I didn't get to explore hardly any of Independence's Harry Truman legacy nor the excellent National Frontier Trails Center. All the better reason to visit here again!

Jail-hopping tourism-- interesting category! Next time you're in Galena check out the cells in Dubuque.
The Community of Christ - aka RLDS - believe that the Second Coming will occur in Independence, across the street from the "shell temple".
Good history, good baseball. The last major league game that I saw was at Kauffman Stadium in 1994. My boycott is now in its 9th year.

Jason Voorhees: I'm taking the test in a couple hours :S
MOno "MOmo" NOmo: Don't like math lol they don't give u a lot to time on test for the math sections that can mess people up sometimes
Mometrix Test Preparation: Don't give up...Math is often the hardest part of the exam for many people, but with practice and persistence you will make it through. Just take it one step at a time.
Chantel Jewel Balckburn: I'm not passing that part that's just how it is so confusing
Stuck Daydreamin: Are the word problems THIS difficult? I mean Im getting better at math but I heard from a couple people that its a lot of equations and measurements. The math in this video doesn't even make sense to me.

East Lyme — Town police received a tip Monday night that the targets of an ongoing prescription drug trafficking investigation were making a run to New York City to pick up drugs.
Police had been conducting surveillance on the suspects for three months and collecting information from various sources.
"We had tied them into traveling to the Brooklyn, N.Y., area and coming back to Connecticut with large quantities of OxyContin," Sgt. Terry Saffioti said during a phone interview Friday.
In the early morning hours Tuesday, police officers positioned their cruisers at each of the town's exits from Interstate 95. At 3 a.m., Saffioti spotted suspect James R. Douglas' Subaru coming off the northbound ramp of Exit 74, according to a police report of the incident.
Saffioti pulled the car over as it turned into Flanders Plaza on Chesterfield Road. He and Officer Lindsay Cutillo conducted a search and found 713 oxycodone 30 mg pills, hidden in fake lint rollers and a Clorox bottle with a false bottom, according to the police report. They found more than $2,000 in cash and a black UZI handheld stun gun that they said Douglas took with him on drug runs for protection.
Douglas, 20, of 22 Crossley Court, Niantic; Tyler Glendenning, 20, of 282 Chesterfield Road, East Lyme; and Sean Connolly 20, of 301 Buddington Road, Groton, were arrested on site.
All three were charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, possession of narcotics and illegal storage of narcotics. Douglas was also charged with possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle and carrying a dangerous weapon.
The street value of the drugs was estimated at $21,300, according to the police.
Saffioti said the investigation is continuing and additional charges could follow. He said the police want to send a message that illegal trafficking of prescription pills, which are highly addictive, will not be tolerated in town.
The three men were arraigned this week in New London Superior Court. Douglas was released on a written promise to appear in court on Wednesday. He has no prior convictions in Connecticut, according to court records.
Glendenning posted a $10,000 bond and is due back in court on May 6. He has two other felony cases pending, according to court records. Waterford police charged him in February with illegal possession of a weapon in a vehicle and possession of narcotics. In December 2012, East Lyme police charged him with second-degree assault after he and another man allegedly stole $5,000 from a Voluntown man who had come to town to buy a large quantity of marijuana, according to court documents.
Connolly posted a $20,000 bond and is due back in court on May 8. He has several drug-dealing charges pending in Groton Town. He has prior convictions for reckless driving and possession of narcotics with intent to sell and was on probation at the time of his arrest, according to court records.

They've done it again.Humana and WalMART counted on the seniors NOT READING the FINE PRINT!
Shame on WalMART and Humana for perpetrating another scam upon American Senior Citizens!
Why are they allowed to scam the senior citizens like that?
I didn't figure the uproar would be this swift. In 2006, it took a year for the Medicare recipient to discover how Humana/Walmart were screwing them.This time it took less than a month.
How are they getting screwed?
The blob at the Walmart/Humana card table didn't disclose all the hidden trappings. Now the Seniors are up in arms over the high cost of this supposed "discount" program. Ask ANY WalMART pharmacist about all the complaints they've been inundated with, and about all the prescriptions they're transferring out.
This will alienate a large portion of the country against WalMart.
WalMART's loss is Walgreen's gain.
This is going to put a tremendous hurt on Walmarts already failing pharmacy business.They haven't had a positive SS comp in years. This could make it decades!

I am a high school teacher and have a WordPress install on an Xserve that hosts my class Website: http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/. Last year I setup a separate WordPress install with multi-site enabled at http://boltpress.edisonchargers.com/. I used DD Import Users: http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/import-users-plugin-for-wordpress/ and Batch Create Blogs: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bulk-create-blogs/. This worked out well after some trial and error.
Anyhow, this year I am not using the http://boltpress.edisonchargers.com/ domain. I made a folder inside of my class WordPress install called "blogs" and did a separate WordPress install there with its own database. So, it is at http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/blogs/, which is working fine.
However, now I can't get the Batch Create Blogs to work. I have the plugin installed at: http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/blogs/, but when it creates the blogs it creates them at http://maclab.edisonchargers.com. So, instead of http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/blogs/student1 it is http://maclab.edisonchargers.com/student1. :(
Any ideas? I have ~200 to create every year.

I like staying in and watching movies or playing games. That's not to say I'm not active...well, I'm not tremendously active, but I love hiking and I can keep up with moderately active people.
I want to have friends here. I want to talk to people and have them respond to what I say instead of just waiting for their turn to speak. I want to find more of those precious few people who don't suck and get to know them better.
I want friends who make me my best self. (Except when it comes to my sense of humor. It's warped and I want it to stay that way.)
Thinking tactically.
Hiking too fast.
Awful movies like The Room make me so damn happy. Otherwise, these days I mostly just watch comedies because I'm short on time and brainpower. I think older Mel Brooks stuff is awesome, and Monty Python movies make me happy. Recently, I've been wanting to watch more documentaries, and maybe even stuff that's supposed to have literary value. Since 30 Rock finished its run I've been watching television only when I'm doing something else that isn't distracting enough. I think New Girl is the sitcom equivalent of popcorn: even though it's insubstantial, its consumption is still fun.
Everyone dislikes the music I like and I hate pretending to care about everyone else's musical tastes, so I have staked out my claim to a musical micronation: when the conversation heads that direction, I cling to my rock of bad taste and no one recognizes my existence. It's awesome, because then I can go back to playing games on my phone instead of feeling compelled to pay attention when I have nothing to contribute to the discussion.
I'll try any comestible once unless it has a carapace. Mediterranean is my favorite type of cuisine, but Italian food is uber-comforting. And while I don't like seafood, there's no one kind of food I completely hate. I DO strongly prefer vegan food, especially vegan entrees. Meat's just boring by comparison.

Shon Harris is a security consultant, founder of Logical Security and a former engineer at the Air Force's information warfare unit.
With the current buzz around the WikiLeaks disclosures, the U.S. public seems amazed by the type and amount of sensitive information that is available to people who should not have access to it. Security professionals are not.
Info sharing: Compartmentalization vs. common sense
Transparency: A backlash in the making
Workforce: Get used to the WikiLeaks mindset
Traditional data security technologies are running to catch up with the explosion in data dissemination methods. Although data might be secured within a database, people need to use it to carry out operational tasks, which usually means putting the data into Word, Excel, presentation software, e-mail or some other format.
The data can be saved to a thumb drive, DVD, personal laptop or less secure workstation. Or it can be sent to a user's home computer, disseminated via e-mail to a distribution list or printed. The original database security then becomes useless as that data is passed around in insecure formats via controlled and uncontrolled networks.
Most agencies have policies and standards that outline how sensitive data should be protected, but they are usually ignored and hardly ever enforced. But agencies' systems have passed security audits and met their compliance requirements, you might say, so aren't they secure? Not even close.
In many cases, an agency can pass a Federal Information Security Management Act audit if it has people who can write great security policies and documentation. But that has no real bearing on what type of security controls are in place. Every agency has a firewall, but the real question is whether it is configured properly for that specific environment and the threats that agency faces. And that takes testing, not policy checklists.
Instead of releasing funds to agencies that simply pass audits and compliance tests, the Office of Management and Budget should evaluate statistics on incidents and successful compromises. If an agency experiences an unacceptable amount of system or personnel compromises, it should fail its security audit, regardless of the other factors. OMB funding should be based on actual security, not just policy compliance.
Another challenge that government agencies face is identifying and retaining employees who have the necessary level of security knowledge and skills. The lack of trained security professionals is a huge gap in our national defense, which is why it is a line item in the Cybersecurity Act of 2010.
To work as a security professional in government, you need a clearance, which is expensive and time-consuming. And people can make much more money in the private sector. Rather than just issuing training mandates to agencies, the government should provide the necessary funding to hire and retain skilled employees.
Security professionals are not surprised by the WikiLeaks issues that the U.S. government is facing because the same type of information is leaked constantly, just not in the same headline-making way. Criminals and countries steal military and government secrets all the time. But they don't want their activities known, so they work hard to stay under the radar.
WikiLeaks shines a bright light on the technological, policy, awareness, education and enforcement issues that must be properly dealt with if the nation is serious about protecting its classified information.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Disagree with John's comment. That is just one subset of security. Monitoring a baseline is what Retina scans do. The control is both a detective (if changed) and a conformity control. Pen Testing is a Effectiveness control and falls under the Security Improvement catagory. A good security management system should rely on four processes to manage: security planning, security assurance, security controls and security improvement.
Current DoD security testing is something of a joke. So called RETINA scans of a system are really just audits of the system's policy settings. We have to take down all of our defenses on our system in order for the IA teams to run their scans. A real test would try and attack our system using all known and even unpublished vulnerabilities with our defenses in place. Then we would have some idea how good are defenses are. These attacks should even include testing of our vulnerability to social engineering attacks (usually the biggest weakness in many systems).

NEW WINDSOR (AP) -- State officials say a 20-year-old man has apparently drowned while hunting in a Hudson Valley forest.
Officials with the Department of Environmental Conservation said that emergency crews were called around 11:30 a.m. Saturday for a report of an injured hunter in Stewart State Forest in the Orange County town of New Windsor. He died at the scene.
DEC officials say the unidentified man from New York City was believed to be hunting ducks in the 6,700-acre forest, which includes wetlands.
Officials say another man was taken to St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital for evaluation.

Any amateur competing in the Pro-Am competition who uses its new Project (a) ball to hit the green at Pebble Beach's famed par-3 17th (shown) during the first three days of the tournament will receive a $1,000 donation to his or her favorite charity. For those who knock it in the hole, the charity gets $100,000. The marketing plan is part of a targeted launch of the Project (a) ball, which features a three-piece construction that includes a softer, more durable cast urethane cover found in its new Tour Preferred and Tour Preferred X balls designed to promote spin on approach shots.
