CONCACAF's integrity committee released a detailed report on Friday which accused Warner and former general secretary Chuck Blazer of fraud and financial mismanagement.
CONCACAF is the governing body for football in North and Central America and the Caribbean.
As part of its findings, the committee reported that Warner had misused funds provided by Football Federation Australia to support the upgrade of a stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
"The evidence reviewed by the Committee also shows that Warner obtained through fraud and then misappropriated $462,200 provided to CONCACAF by Football Federation Australia in 2010," the report said.
The stadium was part of the Joao Havelange Centre of Excellence in which CONCACAF invested $25.9 million (£17m), which included loans from FIFA, but was found by the report to have been built on lands privately owned by Warner and not by the confederation.
The FFA said they had assisted CONCACAF in their investigation but had only "just been drawn to this area of the report".
"FFA ... looks forward to hearing formally from CONCACAF on its findings and taking the matter from there," the governing body said in a statement.
The FFA said the funding related to "mandatory" World Cup bidding criteria and was intended to demonstrate their credentials in the area of international development.
"This was one of a range of international development projects FFA undertook, which were fully reported to the Australian government as part of its bid reporting processes."
Australia spent more than A$45m (£30m) of taxpayer funds on its ill-fated bid for the 2018 World Cup won by Qatar, splashing large sums on overseas development projects, but was eliminated in the first round after garnering only a single vote from FIFA's executive committee.
David Simmons, a former Barbados chief justice, said the Centre of Excellence was no longer an asset of CONCACAF, but the regional body was looking into legal options.
Warner, who stepped down from his football functions two years ago and is Minister of National Security in the Trinidad and Tobago government, dismissed the report as "baseless" in a statement.

Historical Traveler Reviews Magnolia Hotel And Spa Victoria
Enjoyed the Magnolia Hotel
We stayed at the Magnolia May 2005 for 2 nights. We signed up for the HELLOBC program which included a 30 minute massage per person per nite and free daily continental breakfast. The location was great - just around the corner from the Empress - walking distance to restaurants and shops. The room was very comfortable - very nice bathroom. And free internet access. Our total for this was about $430 (US).
The staff was young but very accomodating. The on site spa is nice but nothing exceptional. We found this to be quite a bargain.
Nicest little hotel in Victoria
The Magnolia was indeed a pleasant suprise. I have stayed at The Empress, Ocean Pointe Resort and The Grand Pacific and The Magnolia takes first place. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Loved the fact that this hotel decided to invest in its guests, rather than on a large impressive lobby that everyone just walks through anyways. Appreciated the bottled water and fresh fruit placed in our room each afternoon. My wife loved the copious chocolates that came with the turn down service. Enough Aveda beauty products in the room to open your own spa. View was nice (however, we were on the top floor) Umbrella offering by the concierge due to the rain was also a plus. Location was excellent. Classic decor. Breakfast was good; what do you expect from Continental? Keep in mind this hotel is geared more to the business and romantic get-away clientele, than to families. All in all, a great hotel that makes you feel comfortable for choosing an alternative to the large hotel chains.
Boutique hotel in Victoria
I loved staying at the Magnolia Hotel. I had a subisidized government rate, but even if I had to pay full price I think it would have been worth it. It was very quiet, comfortable, and the service was extremely attentive and good. It's only a block from the gigantic Empress Hotel and the waterfront, but I think this would be my first choice no matter what. I look forward to staying there again.
Very private
A wonderful place to have a romantic get away. We really enjoy the atmosphere and attention to detail. The bathrooms are beautiful with a big soaker tub. They have a wonderful Aveda Spa with all sorts of wonderful smelling goodies you can buy for your room.
Depending on what time of year it is, they leave out cookies and apple cider/hot cocoa. A very nice touch during the holidays.
The only negative thing we find is that the room service is lacking (which is usually the way in smaller hotels). They only offer a continental breakfast that you have to go get yourself which is a bit of a hassle.
All in all a nice little gem to visit.
No Complaints with the Magnolia
We just stayed at the Magnolia for 5 nights in the height of summer. We booked through our travel agent well in advance and she got us a good rate of about C$200, parking and taxes extra, and we feel that it was good value for money. We asked for an upper floor room when we booked and were bothered by street noise only one time. The staff, as others have mentioned, were very helpful, although we did run into one occasion where we were given incorrect information. The continental breakfast was ok, but doesn't change at all from one day to the next. The room was comfortable and the location is excellent. I would stay there again.
A top quality boutique hotel for the well-heeled set
A refreshing compliment to the 5-star large-scale luxury offered by the Grand Pacific and Coast Harborside, the Magnolia is an elegant hotel more suited to professional couples than families. As you would expect from an establishment that charges around $300 per night, the service is nothing short of outstanding. In fact nothing is too much trouble for the polite and courteous staff at the Magnolia. It is conveniently located in downtown Victoria, which is essential for visitors desiring to indulge themselves in the broad array of fun which this beautiful city has to offer. It would be a beautiful hotel to enjoy a getaway-from-it-all weekend.
Great staff made it well worth the money
We just returned from a long weekend at the Magnolia. The staff could not have been more outgoing and helpful. We missed our first night due to a weather delay. I called very late that night. We were not charged for that missed night. When we arrived at 9am we were immediately given our room. I had reserved a diamond room. We were on the 7th floor with an great harbor view. The desk arranged for us to go whale watching, helped us rent a car, and suggested some great hiking. Their restaurant recommendations were outstanding. We went over to the Empress and were so glad we were not staying there...huge groups of tourists everywhere. The only disappointment at the Magnolia was the included continental breakfast which was only OK. I would stay at the Magnolia again. Much cheaper to book thru a wholesaler like Travelocity than thru the hotel itself.
Not worth the money
Althugh the staff are polite and courteus and the hotel is conveniently located downtown, it's just not worth the money, esp. if you're booked into one of the rooms at a lower level. Across the street is a parkade (great view);next door is a nightclub (the noise will keep you awake, unless you're on a higher level). On the other side is a restaurant/bar that also gnerates sufficient traffic. Next time the Empress will be my choice.
You should stay here
We stayed 7 nights this September on the advice of my daughter who said this was the best place to stay. She was right! We were on the top floor (7th) with a harbor view. Air plus fireplace. There was a mix up on our reservations that did not include a harbor view. They corrected that with no fuss. Then sent us flowers that would cost $100 plus in vegas! The room was spotless. The maid service perfect and the whole staff great! There are some good hotels in Victoria and some bad ones. Don't take a chance if you are not sure. Stay at the Magnolia and you will be glad you did.
Wonderful boutique hotel & spa in the heart of Victoria!
We had a wonderful weekend at the Magnolia! The staff was very pleasant and accommodating and the hotel provided a wonderful oasis that was just steps away from all major attractions and shopping facilities. We especially enjoyed the lounge area where hot coffee and tea were available throughout the day and we could relax for a while in front of the fire before going out again to enjoy all of the attractions and shopping facilities.
The spa and its staff were fantastic and we felt extremely pampered by the Aveda products in the room itself. The continental breakfast was wonderful although it would have been nice if it were available until 11:00 AM instead of finishing at 10:00 AM as we found ourselves rushing to get downstairs before everything was put away. It would have also been nice if there were fitness facilities within the hotel. YMCA passes were provided but never used as the facilities were just too far away.
All in all it was a fantastic getaway and we would highly recommend this hotel to any visitors to Victoria due to its central location, professional & accommodating staff and nice little extra touches.

Hampshire and Gloucestershire were left frustrated as heavy rain washed out the opening day of their LV= County Championship match at the Ageas Bowl.
Groundsman Nigel Gray and his staff were left to mop up pools of water that began to form in the outfield when the showers intensified. An abandonment was subsequently announced shortly after 3pm.
Both sides have mustered just one win from seven four-day matches in 2013.
Hampshire plan to give a debut to Pakistani seamer Sohail Tanvir, who was played two Tests and 50 one-day internationals for his country.

Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 Windows 8 Pro, JT-B1 Android tablets launched for the wild
Panasonic has announced two new Toughpad tablets at CES 2013. The Toughpad FZ-G1 and the JT-B1 join the FZ-A1, previously launched, presenting a range of options for those wanting a sturdy tablet for professional use.
The Panasonic Toughpad FT-G1 is a 10.1-inch tablet running Windows 8 Pro. There's an Intel Core i5 processor running the show, 4-8GB of RAM and 128-256GB SSD storage options.
Connections include USB, HDMI, Ethernet and microSD, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and optional GPS and 3G or 4G.
The Toughpad name means it can withstand the rigours of professional use, with MIL-STD-810G and IP65 certification, meaning it will handle drops, water and dust with no problems.
The 10.1-inch display has an 800-nit screen, so it will be visible in bright conditions, with a resolution of 1920 x 800. The battery is rated at 8 hours of use and is replaceable if you want to carry spares.
The FZ-G1 weighs 1.1kg and measures 269 x 187 x 19mm. The Toughpad FZ-G1 will be available in March from $2,899.
The Panasonic Toughpad JT-B1 is a 7-inch Android 4.0 tablet, again with those tough credentials, meaning it's resistant to drops, water and dust.
The display is finished in Corning Gorilla Glass 2 with a resolution of 1024 x 600 and producing 500 nit, so should be bright and sharp.
Sitting at the heart is a Texas Instruments OMAP4460 1.5GHz dual-core processor, with 1GB RAM and 16GB of storage. There's a 13-megapixel autofocus camera on the rear and a 1.3-megapixel camera on the front.
In terms of physical connections you get Micro-USB and a microSD slot, and wireless connections include GPS, Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth and optional 4G. Again, the battery is user-replaceable.
As this is a professional device, there will be additional attachments for things such as barcode and magstripe readers.
The Toughpad JT-B1 will be available from February from $1,199.

I apologise if this is a completely stupid question. I'm still sort of getting my head around eShop and how it works.
I was just wondering whether it's possible to use the options and option sets somehow to allow a customer to choose between a physical hard copy (which will need to be shipped) and a digital download, or whether I'll need to set up different product pages for both.
Thanks in advance for your help!

About the Book
Past, present, and future collide to throw respected forensic anthropologist Bill Brockton's successful, secure life into devastating turmoil in this poignant novel in the New York Times bestselling Body Farm mystery series.
It's been ten years since Dr. Bill Brockton created the Body Farm—the world's first postmortem research facility dedicated to advancing the frontiers of forensic science—and the researcher is at the pinnacle of his career. Under his leadership, the University of Tennessee's forensic anthropology program has become the most prominent in the world, and Brockton's skills and knowledge are in high demand among top law enforcement. Calling him in for a number of high profile cases, the FBI now wants him to identify the charred remains of a maverick millionaire, killed in a fiery plane crash.
But a storm is about to hit Brockton with cataclysmic force. First, his identification of the crash victim is called into question. Then he receives a threatening message from the serial killer who attempted to murder the scientist and his family a decade ago. And from Brockton's beloved wife Kathleen—his lodestone and his source of security—he gets the most shocking news of all. Will Brockton be able to weather this deluge . . . or has he finally reached the breaking point?
Dr. Bill Brockton—founder of the University of Tennessee's macabre Body Farm—finds himself pulled into his highest-profile case ever: identifying the remains of a pilot killed in a plane crash outside San Diego. Are the charred bones indeed those of Richard Janus, a maverick celebrity humanitarian? And was the nighttime crash an accident, a suicide—or a murder?
Brockton wrestles with the case, unaware that a cataclysmic storm is gathering. He's landed in the middle of a nasty political battle, and the future of his research facility is called into question. Reeling from these blows, he receives a gruesome threat from a killer who nearly murdered the Brocktons more than a decade before. But worse is to come: from his beloved wife, Kathleen, Brockton gets the most shocking news of all.
Will the legendary Dr. Bill Brockton be able to weather the onslaught . . . or will it push him beyond his breaking point?

First things first, here's the site I am talking about.
Okay, so I just upgraded to WordPress 3.3 today and now I've got two problems. First off, my custom background isn't showing. But that's fine since I can just put it back via CSS.
But the biggest problem is with pages - they take me back to the loop! It's not my custom-built theme, I've tried switching to two other themes (Twenty Ten and Easel) with no luck. It's not my plugins either. Something must be wrong with WP itself.
Thanks for any help!

I called the "order cancellation" and got a nice young man named Devon on the line who sounded like "just get me outta here". Then, I called "customer service" who said the phone had already been shipped. Wow!!! Did someone work overnight to get that out?!?
So, I called back "order cancellation" and got a not-so-nice young man on the phone named David. He went on to give me his "glad to be a worldcom employee" serinade and how dare I question HIS company's integrity. Interesting I tell you.
I am sorry, but I ended up hanging up on him after he got nasty because I mentioned that the company has a slew of similar complaints against them.
I tell you what. I'd better not have any problems with phony billing since I will refuse the phone. And, please tell me that the big MCI is not associated with this "company".

Gegenschein, also called Counterglow, oval patch of faint luminosity exactly opposite to the Sun in the night sky. The patch of light is so faint it can be seen only in the absence of moonlight, away from city lights, and with the eyes adapted to darkness. The gegenschein is lost in the light of the Milky Way in the summer and winter. The best observing periods are February, March, April, August, September, and October. The gegenschein and the zodiacal light, a similar phenomenon not restricted to a position opposite the Sun, form the most notable parts of a band of very faint light along the ecliptic. The spectrum of the gegenschein is similar to that of the Sun, and it is generally believed that it is the result of the reflection of sunlight from meteoric material or other dust in the Earth's orbital plane.
Alternate Title: counterglow
...along the ecliptic from a point 30° from the Sun to about 90°. Photometric measurements indicate that the band continues to the region opposite the Sun where a slight enhancement called the gegenschein, or counterglow, is visible. There is some zodiacal light in all parts of the sky; it can be considered an extension of the F-corona of the Sun.
Large spiral system consisting of several billion stars, one of which is the Sun. It takes its name from the Milky Way, the irregular luminous band of stars and gas clouds that...

He holds a Master of Science Degree in Management from The Johns Hopkins University and Secret clearance through the FBI, Baltimore.
The New York Police officer now on trial for rape described a homeless man as a "male white," which may provide a clue that he was an officer rather than a tourist calling to complain about a homeless man.
Prosecutors contend that two officers, Kenneth Moreno and Franklin L. Mata, placed the call on Dec. 7, 2008, as a ruse to have themselves assigned to answer the call, and instead visiting the East 13th Street apartment of a drunken woman who later accused the officers of rape, reports the New York Times.

"[Paul's] gospel is 'the word of the cross' (1 Cor. 1:17-18); nowhere is there a comparable reference to 'the word of the resurrection.' In I Corinthians 1:23-24 it is 'Christ crucified' who is identified as 'the power of God and the wisdom of God,' not as we might have expected (especially in the case of 'power'), Christ resurrected…. Both the cross and the resurrection are 'of first importance' in Paul's gospel (I Cor. 15:3-4). Unless Christ has risen from the dead, the preaching of the cross (and of the resurrection) is a waste of time (15:14); but once the resurrection has occurred, the cross remains central."

Road Tripping and Writing
My husband is "THE Driver" and prefers things that way. I used to fuss over that, claiming I needed to drive, but after several years of marriage to "THE Driver" I'm content with a load of books, my laptop, and the amount of daydream time I get staring out the window. Plus, I have good conversations with The Driver. He's a much nicer driver than I am in many ways - if I'm driving I want control of the radio, heat, and basically everything that's going on in the car. I'm kind of a driver control freak. My husband just wants to drive and the rest is up to the passengers.
During our drive, I read aloud portions of my book to my family, and I discovered something during that time . . . I need to let my characters open the windows, and change the radio station now and then. I've suffocated the story in this last revision, forcing the highs and lows.
My poor main character has been boxed into a tight passenger corner, not allowed to even open a window and let the sun shine on her face.
However, I need to stay at the wheel, and keep the shift engaged for the wild ride. Plus I need to clean the windows now and then . . .our car became bug spattered so often on our drive that we stopped more often to clean off the windows than we did to fill the gas tank.
The bugs on the windows of my story have a tendency to be massive amounts of repeated words and phrases. My family and I started laughing every time my characters "ducked," "turned," or "breathed." I think I used each of those words at least two dozen times in three chapters. Aagh!
So, I'm back at work, hoping that somehow this story will be the story I want it to be, hoping that when I get done it will feel like this:
My husband says this is how he wishes he could have driven through San Francisco.
Oh, and this is my 72nd day of 100 Days of Revision - I'm going to have to give my revision process more gas to make my goal.

I'm THE Driver. I can't read in the car. My husband drives a little too close to the car in front of us for me to ever get comfortable if I'm not driving.ReplyDelete
Good luck on your revisions.
What a great realization about your revision. It's important to allow ourselves to see what we've done--sometimes it's fantastic and sometimes it's not.ReplyDelete
I'm not THE Driver, and happily so, but I do get horrendous motion sickness so all my time in the car as THE Passenger can't be spent writing or reading. And I so wish it could be.
Welcome back! And glad you figured out some things about your manuscript during your trip. I repeat words often, so I know the feeling.ReplyDelete
I'm both the driver and the control freak. What can I say?
What a fun road trip! I hope it was sunny at least one day you were in Washington State. Did you happen to make it up to Deception Pass?ReplyDelete
I use the words "turned" or "sat" or "walked" a lot. I need to remember the reader doesn't need to know everything the characters are doing at every waking moment. :)
Tonja - my husband used to do that . . .then in the rain about six years ago, the driver in front of him slammed on his breaks. My husband doesn't drive that close anymore.ReplyDelete
Barbara - hopefully you get great conversation and daydreamin time!
Alex - glad to know I'm not alone in the driver and control freak thing.
Emily - actually we started and ended in Washington - it's home, but we live on the Peninsula so we're familiar with Deception pass.
LOve This Dear! i enjoyed seeing it, Thanks For Posting ♥ReplyDelete
If you have a minute, please check out my blog and follow me if you liked it. I'll appreciate it so much! Thanks!
Blow a Rainbow
Reading your story aloud can definitely help you rethink things, as well as taking some time away from it, which I'm assuming you did on your trip! Glad you got some inspiration.ReplyDelete
Allison (Geek Banter)
Tyrean, everyone should drive like that.ReplyDelete
how fun! I'm sure the road trip gave you tons of ideas for a new story:)ReplyDelete

Fun boat ride at Crater Lake
One of our lovely students
Great hike, awesome people
It was a good time for all the students as they had time to interact with each other and learn away from their usual environments!
Team work was among the topics covered and it's evident in some of the photos how much fun was involved.
The students had time to share their experiences at school and also from the different places they all come from and call home. Good performance in their academics was also noted and recognized!
We're glad that through Sports for Change and our loyal Supporters we're able to give hope to needy and performing students.

You're joking, Thor got owned by a falling cage.
@rpottage said:
Zod curbstomps. He's a Reeves level kryptonian, even has the telekinetic hand beams.

The author has followed the outline of his book "The Pneumonias," published in 1938, with newer facts and concepts included to bring the subject up-to-date. In general, the pneumonias are divided into those (1) caused by specific infectious agents, (2) that occur as part of systemic infectious diseases, (3) of mixed bacterial origin secondary to other conditions, and (4) caused by allergic, chemical, and other factors. This book should appeal to any physician treating pneumonia. It is practical in its approach to the general problem, and the most space is devoted to the usual types of the disease. Viral pneumonia is discussed in the light of our present knowledge, and this includes a group of pneumonias of probable viral origin. Each type is usually presented from the standpoint of etiology, pathogenesis, pathology, symptoms, prevention, and treatment. Antibiotics and their effect on the disease are always considered.

Sarkozy made no mention of Hamas, the group that controls Gaza and is fighting with Israel, in a statement released today after his return from the Middle East.
Sarkozy says that he "strongly welcomes the acceptance by Israel and the Palestinian Authority of the French-Egyptian plan presented yesterday." His statement did not give details of the plan.
Israel says through a spokesman that it "welcomes" the Proposal. Spokesman Mark Regev says Israel could accept the proposal if it halts "hostile fire" from Gaza and includes measures to prevent Hamas from rearming.
