El World Cup Diario, Day 30: Finals and fugitives
Nick Harper's not really feeling the love as the 2014 World Cup rolls on to its penultimate clash in Brasilia...
Morning all, and what a morning it is. After 62 games, we're finally at the third-place play-off, a date we've had ring-fenced in our diaries for months.
No? No. Come on, who really cares about tonight's game, if we're being completely honest. Not Big Louis van Gaal. Not Big Felipo Scolario, probably not you and certainly not El Diario.
We could fill this diary with updated news about the form and fitness of the two teams ahead of tonight's game, but really, it's not the big news. The Big News is that there's a fugitive loose on the streets and he's armed, dangerous and wearing a FIFA blazer! Sort of!
Frankly, El Diario hasn't featured enough hot crime news during these finals, so the news that the British ticket man who works for FIFA apprehended earlier in the week on suspicion of selling millions of $$$ of tickets has absconded and is now a fugitive of the law is great news. Not for him so much but certainly for us.
To recap, Ray Whelan, the British senior director of FIFA's official hospitality company, was arrested earlier in the week as part of a $100 million ticket touting investigation, but released after questioning.
Whelan's employer, Match Services, claim their man has done nothing wrong and that Brazilian police had simply failed to understand how their business works, but Whelan was spotted on CCTV doing a bunk through the tradesman's exit of the Copacabana Palace shortly before he could be re-arrested.
"He's now considered a fugitive," said Fabio Barucke, holding up an e-fit of Roy Hodgson. "We have security camera images of him exiting the hotel through a service door."
If you see a man answering to Whelan's description – essentially a slightly younger version of Roy Hodgson with a fist full of tickets and a fake moustache – do not approach him. Call El Crime Stoppers on 00 55 8888888 888888 666666 666666 666222 11111 000000 00000000.
The problem with the tail end of the tournament this year is that we all know the ending. There will be no surprises, no sudden unexpected twists in the tail. "I don't know if I will [even] watch it," said the funny little German Felix Magath, summing up the mood of the entire world with a shrug. "For me, the result is obvious. I think it will be 3-0 to Germany."
It might be a closer encounter if Lionel Messi was in any kind of form, but he's as good as given up. Officially, he's given up. According to FIFA's World Cup statistics, only the Brazilian punchline Fred (47.2km) ran less distance than Messi over six World Cup games (51.9km) – and the Brazilian's stats were banjaxed by him having to spend most of last Tuesday in the centre circle.
This doesn't make Messi lazy though. It's down to the simple fact that he's suffering from extreme fatigue so he almost cannot move much. We know this because his dad, Jorge, spoke to his son after the Holland game and then went talking to the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo. "Leo said it looked like his legs weighed 100 kilos," he was quoted as saying. "He was very tired." Hey, we were all very tired.
This news came on the same day Germany announced they have formulated a secret plan to stop Messi. But as assistant coach Hansi Flick revealed: "we're not going to reveal that to you." We can only guess, then, and our guess would be a nice chair and a good book, or that they draw him a hot bath. Either way, he's spent.
The only other real news emanating from either camp in the run-up to the final is that the next best thing to a fully fit Lionel Messi, a fully fit Angel di María, is not going to be fully fit. The Real Madrid winger injured his thigh in the win over Belgium and has only been able to engage in "light training", so expect only a brief appearance off the bench when the game's as good as up.
Germany, by contrast, are fighting fit and have spent the last two days poring over thick dossiers on Argentina. "We want that title so badly," said the bit part full-back Benedikt Höwedes.
"If we lose, nobody will talk about our game against Brazil anymore. We can't make the mistake that it's already over. Far from it. Argentina... will fight with all their power against us." That though is a story for Day 31.
On Day 30, away from the final and well away from the FIFA fugitive, the big news once again involved the boy Neymar. He spent the day breaking down in tears once again, telling the world he was lucky he hadn't been confined to a wheelchair and wishing his Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi good luck ahead of the final.
But what about the really big story: the fact his agent called Big Felipo Scolario "an old jerk" the day before? "I don't agree what he said," said Neymar, but he hasn't yet sacked the agent.
The only other business on Day 30 was the sad passing of Luis Suarez, who used this World Cup to engineer a move to Barcelona but isn't allowed anywhere near the club or its training facilities or any of its players or any place showing football until his FIFA ban expires.
But we learned yesterday that the move is all but done barring a few coughs for el Doc, so Suarez had his people rattle off a platitudinous press release to tick the boxes left to tick.

New challenges ✓
Never Forget ✓
Lifelong ambition ✓
Timing right ✓
You'll Never Walk Alone ✓
Adios idiots ✓

In short then, it's goodbye from him, and it's goodbye from El Diario. Until tomorrow at least.

Transition processes from authoritarian to democratic regimes have been a core subject of the burgeoning field of memory and more recently "transitional justice" studies, yet the role of culture in these developments remains understudied. The subsection of Memory studies that examines cultural works, on the one hand, often focuses on specific cultural objects (museums, art, films and theater) and analyzes how different protagonists narrate and dispute the past. Focusing on culture in a narrow sense, they tend to disjoint cultural works from the political and juridical history of the reckoning process. Most "transitional justice" studies, on the other hand, exclude the role of culture and concentrate on the legal and political reckonings with the authoritarian past. Conceiving of culture in its broader sense as a complex web of socio-political and cultural practices, this panel attempts to bridge the gap between the cultural, political, and legal realm, and invites scholars from various disciplines to reflect on the role that cultural works played in the reckoning process of a particular Latin American country. The goal is to examine the role of culture from an integrated rather than a narrow perspective and to compare different Latin American cases.
Questions may include:
- What role has cultural memory work (both in general and specific works/genres) played in the transition processes in Chile, Argentina, Peru, and other Latin American countries, not as an isolated question, but taking an integrated view of culture alongside political and legal initiatives?
- How have cultural memory works and political and legal initiatives impacted or related to each other?
- What effect has cultural memory work had on the struggle for "memory, truth and justice"? Has it strengthened or weakened human rights mobilization?
- Who have been the actors promoting or producing cultural memory work and what have been their intentions?
- Do we have to differentiate between private and public cultural memory works?
If you are interested, please let us know as soon as possible (you wouldn't need to send us the abstract until August 15th, but we'd like to constitute the panels within the next few weeks or so). The deadline for panel proposals is September 3, 2013, although all participants must join LASA or renew their memberships by August 23, 2013.
We are planning to publish a special issue and/or edit a book on the topic. Please send an abstract, a short bio, and a brief statement of whether or not you are interested in contributing to the publication to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Kind regards,

To the Editor:
Your Feb. 17 editorial, "Entitlement Culture: More Americans than ever rely on federal dollars," conflates the social welfare safety net for the poor, i.e. food stamps, Section 8 housing, Medicaid, etc., with Social Security and Medicare, benefit programs seniors have earned having paid FICA/Medicare taxes during their working years. This is not to say that Social Security and Medicare do not urgently need reform, but by lumping those two programs for seniors with safety net spending for the poor, it serves to enlarge the safety net problem, tugging the heartstrings that play the tune for higher taxes.
Conflating Social Security and Medicare with the safety net is the ultimate, big government dependency trap — expand welfare programs for the poor into middle class entitlements, e.g. college students on food stamps and school lunch programs that include breakfast and dinner for everyone, lest anyone feel stigmatized, then editorialists at The Post-Standard sing the "we have no choice" chorus for higher taxes.
Unfortunately, the theory "once the economy is humming, new jobs and tax revenue should finish the job" never arrives because the expenditure challenge is structural (benefit formulas, mandates, subsidies, incentives), while revenues are cyclical. With high marginal tax rates and low, federal revenues have averaged 18-19 percent of GDP for 60 years, Obama is spending 24 percent. It's a spending problem, not a tax revenue problem. The game of "spending restraint and higher taxes in the short term" has played out. Kicking the problem down the road has come to an end because the baby boom generation is on the cusp of receiving Social Security and Medicare — programs having nothing to do with the social welfare safety net for the poor.
The problem is structural, not cyclical, and all the arm-waving to kick the can down the road with spending restraint and tax increases is simply hitting the dead-end wall.

Thanks for visiting Cheap Crafty Mama! If you like what you see please sign up to stay in touch via RSS, Facebook, Email, or Twitter updates!
We are finally starting to have some weather here below 90 degrees so it's really starting to feel like fall! Okay so it may not really feel like fall but at least I like to make my house feel like fall by cooking fall foods that make the house smell yummy and putting up cute fall and Halloween decor. For my latest fall project I used Mod Podge to create these cute, sneaky, spooky Halloween votives. During the day they look like cute fall decor, and when the lights go out they get a little wild and spooky!
I was SO excited to receive a box jam-packed with all these awesome Mod Podge products! It felt like Christmas came early and I know I will be using these a lot throughout the holiday season. I was seriously on a Mod Podge high for a few days thinking of all the awesome things I could create!
So lets get started with this fun project!
glass jars
torn up newspaper
black construction paper
Mod Podge of your choosing
sponge brush
ribbons and decor for tops of jars
1. Cut some spooky eyes and mouth out of the black paper
2. Use a thin layer of Mod Podge to attach the eyes and mouth to the jar, then paint a layer of Mod Podge on top of the paper and allow it to dry (this will ensure that the black won't bleed through the newspaper)
3. Use Mod Podge to cover the whole jar with the torn up newspaper and also paint a layer of Mod Podge on top of the newspaper.
4. When the Mod Podge is dry, you can decorate the tops of the jars so they look pretty during the day, and then when the lights go out you can put candles inside the jars to see their true personalities!

Jacob Williams pleaded not guilty in magistrate court Thursday. He is accused of drunken driving, killing one person and injuring another.
Cuffed and wearing an orange jumpsuit, Williams said he's sorry.
Williams cash-only bond was set at $500,000.
Williams was recently involved in his second fatal motorcycle collision since 2006, the latest of which took the life of Danny Sanchez and sent Sanchez's 11-year-old daughter to University of New Mexico Hospital.
Williams' family was in court, as was Sanchez's.
Williams pleaded guilty to the 2006 crash. In that collision, one person was killed and another was paralyzed.

Historical Traveler Reviews Barbados Beach Club Christ Church
Hated it !!
Having stayed on the West Coast the previous year I was interested to see what this resort would be like when I stayed here in April 2002.
The staff were rude and sullen, especially the main restaurant staff and no-one went out of their way to help. The rooms were basic, nothing to write home about and whilst requesting a pool view we were given a view of the back and beyond. The food in the other restaurants was varied and very nice but this is the only nice thing I can say really.
We paid full brochure price for this holiday, which was a mistake and has dimmed my memories of this gorgeous island - I would never stay on this part of the Island again.
The Pits
On arival and during are short stay the staff were unfriendly,
unhelpfull and uninterested. The hotel looked shaby and ineed of some
work. The fence around the shore line was in such a bad state that a
singe had been erected to worn you not to lean on it or you might fall
into the sea. At the bar the drinks, so called cocktails were pre-mixed
in large plastic containers. The two girls behind the bar may well have
been domb as they did not speek. The evening meal was a buffet afair
with a small selection of barbecued meat cold baked potatoes and baked
beans. Yes I was amaised I had just traveled over 4000 miles to eat
baked beans that I can buy in my local supermarket for a mear 9p. We
came down from our room the nexed morning at 6am to find the gate at
the beach locked, it wasn't untill 7am that the gate was finally
opened. The bar was where the world champion tato compition was being
held. The hotel had a dress code but it was not adeared to, the same
teeshirts and shorts worn in the resrurant as worn during the day so no
shower. In the morning we saw the Virgin rep and cryed "get us out of
hear" and were transfered to Kings Beach were we had a greate time.
This was the fourth time we had been to Barbados and had never had any
problems before but we had always stayed on the West Coast.
A great value with terrific staff
Our family (two adults, four children) had a great time. The staff was very helpful, particulaly Kay in Guest Relations and Damien, who was great at organizing activities. The pool and beach were fine. We did not do the all inclusive package, but given the high price of resturaunts in Barbados, I probably would the next time. I would recommend this facility.
Wonderful Holiday
My companion and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Barbados Beach Club late April 2003 - it was better than what I had thought it would be. Food must have been okay as I put on weight during our one week stay. Pool was clean and adequate; swimming off the beach was good unless you were a poor swimmer. Enjoyed most of the entertainment except for the last night of our stay. Next time we go back we'll make sure we're not facing poolside - nothing worse than a bunch drunks trying to sing to Kareoke at 11:30 p.m.The staff? All were good, right from the start, particularly the front end people. Always helpful with solutions to any problems you thought you might have. I'd recommend this place to any of our friends. And, yes, we'll be returning.
Can't Wait to come back to this beautiful place!!!
Just got back from 2 fantastic weeks at the Beach Club with my boyfriend - fiance now as we are engaged!!! This hotel is lovely. The staff are so helpful and the location is fantastic. If you want nearby action, its all there. If you want to just chill out the hotel offers everything. The Cliff is a must!!! (Up the west coast) for a special dining experience. The people so friendly, beaches beautiful, loved the island and am still smiling now! Will not be my last visit there!!!
Beautiful Spot
My wife and myself went down to get married, we had an amazing time and brought home many memories. The staff are great, the food is great and the locals are great. Nice scenery and gorgous beaches. I have nothing negative to say as the both of us had smiles the entire time, our first time on Barbados won't be our last and the Beach Club is where we will stay again.
My girlfriend I with our two sons stayed here for a fortnight in May 2002.
Overall our holiday was first class.
The hotel is excellent, absolutely perfect if you have children because it is relatively safe for them provided they are within the hotel complex.
We arrive at the hotel and within 15 minutes we were in our room freshening up ready for a drink downstairs.
The food at the hotel, although basic at the normal reastaurant, is both tasty and properley cooked. The two other restaurants, Italian and sea food, are excellent. The staff at the hotel are always charming and polite.
The hotel is also very, very clean, they take a pride in it.
As for what's on offer in Barbados itself, I would recomend the catamarran trip snorkelling. The views of the sea turtles were amazing.
All in al a first class holiday my best ever.
Only average
My husband and I just got back from a 7 night cruise and 7 night stay holiday in Barbados. The Barbados Beach Club was our allocated on arrival hotel for the second week.
The hotel is right on the beach with wonderful views, but being on the south coast the sea is always on the rough side.
When we arrived (around noon) the rooms were not ready. As we had just come off the cruise ship there were around 200 of us to check in at the same time. We were given a welcome rum punch and our "all inclusive" wrist band, so we could use the bar and buffet while our room was made ready.
Part way through the afternoon, some other guests told us that they had been to the reception and enquired about their room and it was ready and they had already moved in. When I went to see if ours was ready I was told no, not yet. I went back several times and eventually heard one of the other staff say "Oh, give them 202"
So up we went with the porter to 202. It is right beside the lift and has a view over someone's roof, and horror of horrors - single beds. After single bunks on the cruise ship, we were so looking forward to a double bed - our friends had been given a room with 2 double beds!
As the holiday was to celebrate our wedding anniversary I rang reception to ask if we could move to a double and was told that the tour operator had booked the twin room for us. When I mentioned my friends (who had booked the same holiday) the receptionist changed her mind and told me it was the "luck of draw" which room you got. Needless to say I was less than happy with this attitude.
Nevertheless, apart from the room, we were quite happy with the hotel. It's an average 3 star, nothing special with very little in the way of facilities or entertainment - but what entertainment they had was good, especially the singers, fire-eater and limbo dancer.
As well as the buffet restaurant there are two A La Cartes, Sea Rocks Seafood (twice a week) and Venetos Italian (once a week). As we do not eat seafood we asked if we could go to the Italian twice, but the answer was no. The guest services staff was next to useless. You even had to put your wet towels away in a cupboard and get your own clean ones down off the shelves!
Bar and restaurant staff were pleasant and courteous, but the chambermaids couldn't have cared less. Sometimes our room was not made up till between 4 and 5pm and on our wedding anniversary when we went to our room at 5.15pm to get ready for a night out it wasn't done and in fact didn't get done that day.
Outside the hotel there's plenty to do and it is very safe to walk down to the restaurants and back again at night.
We went to the New Century Chinese and found it was very good.
We also took the Island Safari Tour which is in open top Land Rovers and was well worth the money.
The holiday we had booked was a late deal and was a very good price. We feel we had our moneys' worth on the cruise alone, so looked at the second week as a freebee. If we had been paying brochure price for the Barbados Beach Club, we would have been very dissatisfied.
Val Beck.
Pretty nice..
My husband and I enjoyed our stay but if you're looking for super luxury - this isn't it. It is very clean however and the food is alright. I found the people to be sort of rude at times and for those who like to go to be before 12:00am, forget it because they have music, bands, etc...by the pool until then EVERY NIGHT. I got frustrated by this point. You absolutely can't keep food in your room either because even though the room is immaculate - ants seem to come from no where. They are super aggressive. But I think thats part of being on the island. Over all it was a nice place.
Great Hotel
My wife and I have just spent 2 weeks at this resort This was oue 4th return visit to the Barbados Beach club. So,that alone speaks for itself,the food was excellent.The searocks Restaurant is absolutley first class.
The owner Felix is a most charming man,always ready to cater for your liking.The staff are so kind and friendly,and I call Kay from guest services A Princess.so kind, so helpful.All in all a great hotel in a fatastic location.
See you all there in the New Year.

... the entry and exit form they had given me. Talking to the officer, i learned my second important lesson. Only Bajans (Barbados residents) are allowed to enter the country with a one way ticket. It had been a long day of travelling, and i was tired, from not sleeping the night before and from a few days of partying before i left. However, i kept my cool, explained that i wasn't aware of this and sat calmly while waiting for them to tell me what to do. I ...
Ah land!
... coast to a place to snorkel, then further up the coast where they snorkeled and saw sea turtles... Very cool. While people were in the water the crew cooked lunch - steak, salad, chicken, shrimp... Too much food. It was really a pleasant afternoon and a great day for a lovely sail! Off to St Bart's on ...
Catch of the birthday and the back up plan

We finish the shopping, including another birthday cake, and head back to the hut.
After several hours of food preparation and some pretty nifty decorating by Ruth it's time to get the party started.
Another surprise - Keisha and Andy arrive. Malcolm is pretty bowled over by it all.
Mind you he ends up doing the BBQ even though he's the birthday boy.

We all bullied Alvan into having a go on the mic, I remember he had a good voice from his Manchester days. By now it was late enough, Lisa has an early flight tomorrow going back to Caymen.

When Dominick Pelletier appeared for a job interview with the FBI, he was escorted to the polygraph room where the types of questions were explained to him. Pelletier became nervous about the potential for questions about sex crimes as he had done research on child pornography in a different country. He was assured that the questions would only concern whether he possessed or distributed child pornography, and the test was administered.
Much to his dismay, he failed the polygraph. Explaining the situation, he said that he had seen child pornography images as part of his research. The FBI agent remained calm, and Pelletier continued to think he was in consideration for the position. FBI agents continued to ask him questions, and he admitted to possession of "child erotica" at home.
After refusing to allow FBI to accompany him to his home, Pelletier ultimately signed a consent form after being told they would just get a search warrant anyway. He remained at the office, never asked to leave or to speak with an attorney, and apparently still thought he would be considered for the job. Unfortunately for him, he didn't get the job, and more than 600 images of child pornography were found on his computer.
Pelletier was ultimately convicted of possession, and he appealed, arguing that "he was entitled to Miranda warnings and did not receive them" and that his consent to search was involuntary.
The Seventh Circuit held that Miranda rights were not necessary as Pelletier was not in custody. The lengthy time at the office, encounters with armed agents, and security measures were all a part of the job application process - and were not a result of his suspected criminal activity. "Pelletier was friendly and talkative throughout the day ... and asked at the end of the interview whether his possession of child pornography would slow his job application process."
The court also did not address the consent issue as they determined probable cause allowed for a search warrant which protects the evidence under the inevitable discovery doctrine.
As a side note, it is always a pleasure to read a Seventh Circuit opinion. Judge Kanne began the opinion:
Federal investigative agents will tell you that some cases are hard to solve. Some cases require years of effort—chasing down false leads and reigning in flighty witnesses. Others require painstaking scientific analysis, or weeks of poring over financial records for a hidden clue. And some cases are never solved at all—the right witness never comes forward, the right lead never pans out, or the right clue never turns up.
This is not one of those cases.I'm always a little appreciative of a judge (and a clerk, of course) willing to be a little creative with their legal writing.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- A man stole $88 in assorted soda from a PepsiCo truck on Wednesday while the employee was making a delivery to a South Avenue convenience store, according to Syracuse police.
While the employee was making the delivery, he was approached by an unknown man asking him for soda. The employee informed the man that he could not give him any and continued with his delivery.
As the employee was exiting the convenience store after making the delivery, he saw another man walking from the rear of the PepsiCo delivery truck and getting into a green Dodge Stratus that was occupied by the first man who had asked him for soda.
The vehicle then sped away shortly after 2 p.m. Wednesday. Right after, the employee saw the rear door of the delivery truck was open. When he looked inside the truck, he noticed that four cases of assorted soda were missing from the inventory.
The case is closed, pending suspect information.

A family friend passed this recipe on to my mom who in turn passed it on to me….and it has always be known as Mary Ellen's Strawberry Banana Jam. The thing about this jam is while eating it…it is bursting with strawberry flavor at the beginning and you really don't taste the banana UNTIL the very end when you start swallowing it…it's kinda like the strawberry kisses you HELLOOOO….and the banana sneaks up at the end and waves BYE BYE
Mary Ellen's Strawberry Banana Jam
4-3/4 cups crushed strawberries (about 2 quarts whole strawberries)
1-1/2 cups mashed banana (about 3 whole bananas)
3 Tbsp lemon juice (helps prevent fruit from turning brown and adds acid)
6-3/4 cups sugar (pre-measure and have ready before you start cooking)
1 Box SureJell
1-1/2 Tsp butter (helps prevent foaming)
Crush your strawberries….or cheat like me and stick 'em in the food processor.
Then mash up your bananas.
Stick all this is a 8 qt pot.
Stir in the SureJell along with the butter and lemon juice.
Bring to a full ROLLING boil, on high, stirring constantly. Add sugar quickly.
RETURN to full rolling boil. Boil EXACTLY 1 minute at full rolling boil. Stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and skim foam if any.
Fill jars, leaving 1/8" at the top. Cover with lids and process 10-20 minutes.
Makes (9-10) half pints.

Shoulder injuries are common because the shoulder is the most complex joint in the body and has the greatest range of motion. Gundersen Health System has orthopaedic surgeons specially trained to diagnose and treat shoulder injuries.
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint. It moves every time you move your arm. The three main bones: collar bone, shoulder blade, and upper arm bone are held together by muscles, tendons and ligaments. Most often, shoulder problems involve the muscles, tendons, or ligaments and not the bones. Some of the most common shoulder problems include:
Shoulder injuries are most commonly overuse injuries caused by athletic activities such as swimming, tennis, or weight lifting that involve excessive, repetitive motion. People can also suffer injury doing tasks around the house or from a fall.
Surgery may be needed to treat a shoulder injury, but whenever possible Gundersen orthopaedic surgeons treat them with more conservative options such as:
If surgery is needed, some of the most common surgeries performed at Gundersen include:
If you are suffering from shoulder pain, find a Gundersen orthopaedics location near you and talk with an orthopaedic specialist for your treatment options.

Hi Henning
Ive played around with the Linksys AP so i can only give advice on that one.
- I would set up the TopCom AP and connect it to your LAN - check that
you can connect to your wired LAN through it.
- Configure the Linksys in "AP CLIENT mode" and have a go at connecting
to your TopCom wireless AP.
This is done in the webinterface of the Linksys: SETUP --> AP mode and
select "AP Client" and then click "Site Survey" and hopefully you should
be able to connect to your TopCom AP.
If theres no wireless lans showing up - try experimentating with using
same channel and type of standard (A,B and G)most AP's gives you the
option to select a fixed speed.
I usually start out without no encryption on the Wlan - set up the
connection and then applying protection after i got the communication
running - usually makes it easier to diagnose if there is trouble.
Hope i sent you in the right direction

The Jakarta Post
PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) would start drilling in 250 to 350 locations during the second half of this year to further increase oil production in the company's oil concession areas in Riau province, the company's spokesman said.
"We are committed to improving our oil and natural gas production in Indonesia," Chevron's spokesman, Donny Indrawan, told reporters during a breaking of the fast gathering in Jakarta on Tuesday.
Donny claimed the company's current production had soared above the government's target. However, he refused to divulge a specific figure. "As of the first half of this year, I can say that our production is strong and above target."
Gde Pradnyana, operations deputy at upstream oil and gas regulator BPMigas, said that Chevron produced 346,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), slightly above the target of 340,000 bopd, which was set in its work plan and budget (WPnB).
However, the production was still below target if referring to the figure set in the 2012 state budget, of 355,000 bopd, he told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.
Gde added that Chevron's production levels had not yet returned to normal after the Duri pipe leak in 2010.
Operations at several Chevron wells in the Duri field were temporarily halted when the pipe, owned by PT Transportasi Gas Indonesia (TGI), which channels gas to a Chevron power plant, began leaking.
The incident cost the country around 150,000 bopd. However, Gde added, "this year's production was still rated as good, with a decline rate of between 1 and 3 percent."
Last year, Chevron produced a total of 356,606 bopd. The company, which is the largest crude oil producer in Indonesia, derives most of its oil from Sumatra, primarily from the Rokan oil block in Riau province.

These are the kind of games in which the Devils can measure how close — or far away — they may be from the Stanley Cup champions.
The last time the Devils faced the Bruins was a 4-3 loss in Boston on Nov. 15.
"It's the first time I really looked back at the tapes since probably the day after the game back then. It's amazing how your team changes over two months," Devils coach Pete DeBoer said today. "I'm sure Boston is the same. I think that was right at the start of their 10 or 12-game winning streak.
"We've got a different lineup. I think we're playing better than we were at that point. When I watch that game, the thing that jumped out at me is how hard we competed. This team makes you compete hard to play with them and we answered the bell there and we have to do the same here tonight."
Is that what he told his players?
"That's exactly what I told them," DeBoer confirmed.
How have the Devils progressed since that first meeting?
"I just think things are coming more naturally to us, more second nature as far as our systems go," DeBoer explained. "We're getting to places a little quicker. And, again, if we can do that and combine the same kind of desperation and battle level we had that night, we'll be in good shape."
Bruins coach Claude Julien also looked back at that first meeting.
"They've got a reputation of being a hard team to play against," Julien said of the Devils. "Every night it's that same challenge of battling through their defensive system. They're a team that has good size. They're a heavy team up front. To me they have good size and are strong on the puck.
"You look at their games and how they win battles along the boards and protect the puck. How they strip guys from the puck because of the heavy game they play. I think we have to be ready and aware of that."
DeBoer spoke of watching Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas when the Devils aren't playing against the Bruins. He's a fan.
"Sure you are. Obviously I think his style of play and some of the saves he pulls off when you're watching the highlights or watching him play on TV, he's got a senationalism to his game," the coach said. "That's great from a strictly fan's point of view when you're watching a game."
How about when the Devils face him?
"Same thing. The message to our team with this guy is there's never an easy tap-in. You can never ease up on a play you think is an empty net, because he has a history of coming out of nowhere to make those kind of saves," DeBoer said.
Julien was asked whether it means anything to Thomas that the fans are voting him the starting All-Star goalie.
"I'm sure he's appreciative of it. It shows he's got some recognition around the league," Julien said. "I think people see him as the great goaltender that he is. I think at one point we have to get past the fact that he was an unknown and he's come from nowhere.
"He did, but that's in the past. He's now a well-known goaltender. I've told him many times, 'I don't think you have to put in your mind that you have to prove anything.' But proving certain things and trying to accomplish certain things is what makes him a great goaltender. And you can't take that away from him.
"You let him prepare himself whatever way he feels is necessary to let him have success and, in his mind, he always likes to prove certain things and that's what makes him a real good goaltender. In our eyes and in our minds, he's shown a lot. You don't have to convince me that he's a good goaltender. I've seen it. I've been with him for years and he is a great goaltender."
Has winning the Stanley Cup changed him?
"Nope," Julien said. "Not at all. If it changed him, you would've seen it by now. But he's out there and he's competing and playing as well as he has in past years. He's still trying to keep those numbers to where they were last year as well.
"A guy who's changed wouldn't care. He's got two Vezina Trophies, a Conn Smythe and a Stanley Cup. For a lot of people in this league it probably would be enough and you could move on without having to worry about anything. But that's not the way Timmy is."
* * *
DeBoer said he watched the world junior championships Tuesday with Sweden defeating Canada.
"Adam Larsson was the first one to remind me that Sweden won and Canada lost this morning," he said.
He joked the the Swedish rookie's ice time would be cut.
"He's definitely not on the power play," DeBoer said with a laugh.
Like DeBoer, Julien wasn't happy with the outcome of the tournament.
"As a Canadian you're disappointed that they lost the game," he said. "At the same time you really admire the way they fought back. I think those tournaments are so good for players because you're either living a real high by winning or, at the same time, you can experience a low like last night.
"No doubt it was disappointing, but that's what builds character in players. That's what makes them better in the long run, to live through those situations and grow from it. Nobody is going to turn out to be a worse player because they didn't win last night. But no doubt wither side is going to grow from that. That's a disappointing loss on their home ice for Canada and they're going to have to live with it, but for me I see more positive in that than anything else. They battled back. They could've easily folded and they didn't."

We stayed in the apartment for 3 nights in October (3 adults + 3 children).
It has been a very nice staying.
The apartment is quite nice, comfortable with 2 bathrooms, the kitchen is very well equipped.
Very close to Marques de Pombal and then to Metro taxi, bus.
Excellent choice and a good value for money.
Excellent apartment, would recommend. Very clean, comfortable and good location.
Excelente apartamento, lo recomiendo. Muy limpio, confortable y con buena localización.
Super address. Bus stop at the foot of the building for the center. Beautiful decoration. Very good accueil.Merci to Jorge for his advice. We recommend this address. Public parking 12.5 € / day in the bottom of the street.
Super adresse. Arrêt de bus au pied de l'immeuble pour le centre. Belle décoration. Très bon accueil.Merci à Jorge pour tous ses conseils. Nous vous recommandons cette adresse. Parking public à 12,5 € / jour dans le bas de la rue.
Très bel appartement, meublé et décoré avec goût, et très bien équipé (draps et serviettes, papier toilettes, ménage en fin de séjour). Seuls bémols : le lit dans le chambre parents, un peu dur, et le parking payant dans la rue. Sinon, excellente localisation, très bon accueil (en revanche caution en liquide, en non par chèque comme précisé sur le site. Excellent séjour, je recommande vivement.
El piso es amplio y no le falta detalle, esta muy bien, zona tranquila, centrica y bien comunicada, metro y bus muy cerca, tiene un Mc Donalds en la misma calle, te recibe Jorge con trato muy agradable y te ayuda en cualquier información que le pidas.
Very nice, clean and cosy. We had a wonderful stay at Luis place. Our contact person was really kind as well. We can totally recommend this place.
Thanks for accomodation.
It was nice that we had the chance to pospone our arrival date, because of our failure of booking the flight at the same time (one week later).
The rooms are nice and the atmosphere is OK.
Maybe to fix the entrance gate for the future guests ;-)
If you borrow bicycles in the surrounding area, it's possible to reach the most interesting spots there. To the Lisbon centre you should take the train in Estoril and it will take you about less than 30 minutes.
Philipp, Christoph and two times Stefan from Austria
We had a great stay at this place. Everything was very well taken care off. The appartment has everything you need and is located near all the places you should visit in Lisbon. Laura was at our service all the time and informed us about good places in the area. Thank you very much! If we ever visit Lisbon again we will definetly come back!
Beautiful Apartement and very comfortable. Centrally located. You can reach most attractions as well as the shoping streets by walking. Only a few minutes to the Metro and to the us-stop. The handover of the key happened smoothly and without any problems. Laura has given us a very good instruction for all the important thinks.
Hello! The Apartment was perfectly located, a very nice street. Since we came from Sweden and Norway we are used to a high standard and we thought the bathroom was not nice. It could have been better cleaned and the showercurtin has to be changed. The rest of the Apartment was very cosy!

The state's November jobs report had positive news for Muskegon County — again — something the community needs to embrace. Unemployment fell from 9 percent in October to 8.4 percent in November. It was down from 11.5 percent a year ago.
Things are slowly starting to improve and we need to believe it. We're still in rebuilding mode, according to Muskegon Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce President Cindy Larsen, but that's a positive step.
Numbers don't lie. About 500 more people were off the unemployment roles in November than in October 2011. And about 2,800 more were out of the jobless count than a year ago.
Sure, some of those people have moved on, looking elsewhere for work. It's no secret that since November 2006, Muskegon County has lost 10,400 jobs — about 12 percent of the workforce.
But during the past year, about 1,000 more jobs have been created, with more hiring by manufacturers, retailers, service and health care providers. And that's a solid start.
While the layoff of seasonal workers is bound to reduce the number of retail workers this month, the other employers should hold onto their workforce and many will hire more workers. According to Michigan Works!, several manufacturers have job postings for entry level positions including Alcoa Howmet, the county's largest industrial employer, as well as ADAC Plastics, The Port City Group, GE Aviation and SAF Holland. Anderson Global and Diversified Machine are looking for skilled workers.
That means the 6,400 people who are still unemployed need to review their skills sets to find the best fit for these openings or sign up for additional training.
It also means that high school seniors and juniors need to take a close look at pursuing additional training in these areas after they graduate if they plan to seek a job in this county.
There's plenty more area residents can do to help stimulate this recovery. Shopping locally helps keep money here, eventually creating jobs. It has been estimated that every dollar spent at a locally owned business will circulate through the area six times in the form of paychecks, bill payments, inventory and supply purchases and tax revenues, among other things.
The chamber estimates if everyone in Muskegon County spent $100 at locally owned businesses, it would pump $10.5 million into our economy. Imagine what that could generate here in terms of jobs.
New tax laws also kick in this year, which may provide incentives for hiring. While there's some debate about the overall effect of the tax changes — business taxes went down, but individuals' taxes were increased on pensions and other income — Gov. Rick Snyder is betting these changes will be enough to prompt more job creation.
A positive attitude coupled with an effort to get the right training for available jobs and making a habit of supporting local businesses won't hurt either.
It's going to take a community to keep our economy on track.

Can you please try all of the steps listed here, and then let me know if they resolve the freeze issue?
Mister Fitzer - Xbox Community Engagement
thank you it worked i had to remove my harddrive and fix it in that step
Glad to hear it. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
tried all those things and nothing worked. this sucks
Pancake, if those steps aren't resolving your issue, you'll need to set up a repair. You can check your warranty status and set one up here.
I am having the same issue, but it goes much deeper...
I had the problem on the day it came out, I spoke Microsoft Tech support and they said to exchange the disc... so i did
The new disc didn't work either but this time i went to try in another Xbox, I currently have a new 4gb Xbox and i bought the 250gb hd. So i broke out my old white xbox 360 and it played just fine.
I called EA and they said it was the console, so to solve everything I went to Best Buy, i sent the Xbox out to get replaced or fixed, and I even exchanged the game... no way it could fail. New Game, New Console... Online Dynasty Time!
Here we are 3 days later, i have tried everything and it still doesn't work... not the system or the game as far as either company is concerned and i just want to play the game...
Tyler, to be sure, did Best Buy exchange your console, or did they repair it themselves? When were the Xbox 360 and HDD purchased, and from where?
I'm having the same issue with NCAA. Can you provide a different link to he instructions on how to fix the issue? It asks me for a username/password in order to see them and I don't know what that would be. Thanks
Hey, the link from the verified answer should not be asking for any personal information. Please try a different browser to view that page.

Heather Myles
Despite the good reviews she garnered for her 1992 debut album, Just Like Old Times (with its prominent Buck Owens-Bakersfield sound influences), the majority of the record-buying public has yet to discover Southern California singer-songwriter Heather Myles. They don't know what they're missing. On this new release she blends different musical styles, offering her full-throated vocals and honest, no-nonsense delivery on cuts like "It Ain't Over," a jangly, folk-tinged Mary Chapin Carpenter-esque tune, and "Indigo Moon" with its south-of-the border feel.
Myles, who wrote or cowrote eight of the songs here, shows her rural roots on a quietly effective cover of Marty Robbins's "Begging to You" (with Myles's vocal conjuring up visions of Patsy Cline) and "Gone Too Long," a travelin'-down-the-highway, guitar-driven rocker. The album's highlight is "Until I Couldn't Have You," a wistful tale of romantic remorse, one that her record label should quickly release as a single before Reba gets hold of it and makes it her own.

About Me
Hello, thanks for visiting my page!
I'm Giana (pronounced like John with an a) I live in the Lehigh Valley Area which is not far from either Philly or New York. In the past 8 years or so I decided to try out modeling and acting. I modeled when I was younger but gave it up for other interests. I also went to acting school for 5 years.
Now I am much more comfortable behind the lens and I am actually a full time photographer. It's kind of weird how life changes if you let it.
I also love to sing, play guitar and piano. I have published about 60 songs. You can find me on Facebook, YouTube, Pocket Band, Sound Cloud and others such as iTunes..
If you live in PA or near Allentown and you are a model or photographer...check this out!

Some have spent hours with me on the phone either allowing me to talk and/or filling my head with knowledge about the modeling business, photography and life in general. Some of those conversations were life changing! If you are reading this...I think you know who you are!

Despite leading the Brazilian National team with 16 points Saturday in Chicago, San Antonio Spurs center Tiago Splitter and Brazil couldn't hold off the offensive fire power and depth of the United States National team in a 95-78 exhibition loss for the South Americans.
In the first half, the U.S. only led by eight points going into halftime, but in the second half, the United States' depth and multiple weapons on the offensive end, especially in the fast break, led to a victory for the U.S.
Early on, Splitter was productive quickly for Brazil, as he scored six of the team's first eight points. He scored in his normal fashion like he does with San Antonio during the regular season – scoring off the pick-and-roll, and using up-and-under moves around the rim. Splitter did have an impressive dunk in the first half, as he split a double-team for the two handed slam.
Up next for Splitter and Brazil, a trip to Slovenia, where they'll face Lithuania in a an exhibition match on Thursday.
Spurs restricted free agent center Aron Baynes and Australia grabbed a victory Saturday as well, in a 97-75 win over the Philippines. In 22 minutes of play, Baynes scored 15 points (6-of-12 shooting), grabbed three rebounds, totaled four assists, and blocked two shots.
Baynes will face Spurs forward Boris Diaw and the French National team on Sunday in France.

Inside Job?
The Compelling Conspiracy Theories About Big Tex's Demise.
By Pete on Monday, October 22, 2012 at 1:43 PM
By now, we've all heard the news: The 52-foot-tall Big Tex statue in Fair Park caught fire on Friday morning, effectively ending his 60-year run as the State Fair of Texas' mascot and icon.
A weekend of grieving later (check out the Big Texas Grief Support page on Facebook), a few other facts are known about the incident: 1) The fire was caused by an electrical shortage in Tex's right boot, and 2) Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings wasted no time in acknowledging that Big Tex would be back "bigger and better for the 21st century" in 2013.
But some questions remain.
Plenty of them.
Have you heard, for instance, the Dallas Fire-Rescue dispatch about the blaze?
Those firemen crack pretty wise about the incident in that audio.
Maybe too wise, if you think about it.
Actually, a lot of things about Big Texas' demise come into question if you think about it long enough. For instance: Isn't it crazy how Mayor Rawlings already had an action plan in place for a Big Tex replacement should something like this go down? And isn't it kind of amazing that the State Fair had a massive sheet available and ready to use as a body bag in a moment's notice?
What if -- and, yes, we know we're reaching here -- Big Tex's fiery death wasn't the accident it has been reported as being?
It's a question Oak Cliff mainstays DJ Stibs and rapper Lionheart went over in depth in a new episode of Lionheart's Federal Podcast this weekend.
And, really, the more you hear them talk about the coincidences surrounding Big Tex's last day, the more you think their theories actually hold some water. Check out the podcast (complete with its shoutout to yours truly and all) for yourself at the end of this story.
Then honestly ask yourself: What if this is bigger than the State Fair? How high does this conspiracy go? These are questions one almost has to wonder at this point.

Update: As noted in the comments but not properly specified in the story above, the podcast's theory is that the powers that be wanted to replace and upgrade Big Tex anyway, but that any announcement of such would've caused an uproar from traditionalist set. Now, with him burning down, they have the full support of Tex's fans to rebuild him differently. Kind of an interesting theory, no?

Never forget
40 years ago today, Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, and Neil Armstrong, left the Earth on an historic adventure. The hopes, dreams, and prayers of countless millions around the world went with them as they lifted off from Florida. 4 days later, the Eagle lander separated from the Columbia module with Aldrin and Armstrong aboard. After piloting the lander beyond the boulder strewn target, Armstrong annouced to Mission Control and the world, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." On July 21st, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped out from the Eagle lander onto the surface of the moon. The same moon we, and every man woman and child ever to look into the skies has seen since long before recorded history, has seen, wondered, and dreamed about. The words he spoke at that moment were of his own choosing, beyond appropriate, and inordinately uplifting. He himself wasn't there, we all were, as a species. Man had achieved something words fail to adequately encompass. When you look into the sky and see the moon today, it's taken for granted what was accomplished with what by todays standards was hopelessly inadequate for the job. The people who contributed to the granduer that was, and is, Apollo 11; everything that led to it and beyond, should be proud of their acheivements. We, as humanity, should never let their memory fade.

Will the ant people inside the Moon let us return?
All those theories about it being fake are a bunch of hooey. One thing that happened for sure each mission was that a Saturn V rocket was launched. There were millions of eyewitnesses to those events. What could they have been used for other than going to the Moon? Is there a super secret project out in space that we don't know about?

They got to you, too, Rajah?!?!? Oh, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Convenient that they show up right around the anniversary. And weird that this anniversary is being played up by next to no one. I hope we get an interview with Neil Armstrong out of the deal at least.
A good explanation for why they would have faked it is to perpetuate the war machine. Lots of good ways to kill people have come out of the space/rocket program.
I would like to see a private, bipartisan (Apollogists and Those That Know the REAL Truth) effort to shoot something through the Van Allen belts and back which would measure the radiation exposure and it's effect on cameras and what have you. Would put to rest the primary obstacle as the Hoax folk see it. And why are we 10-15 years away from being able to return when we were 8 years away in 1961?
Anyhow, I hope the next (or FIRST) group to go to the moon is sent off with a note to remember to bring back some cheese. Seems only right.

Oxfam George's St, or, secondhand successes
Today as I wandered over to Crackbird for a freelance project I'm working on, I passed by Oxfam on George's St and wandered in for a quick look at the vintage section, which is really great, especially considering the fact …
Today as I wandered over to Crackbird for a freelance project I'm working on, I passed by Oxfam on George's St and wandered in for a quick look at the vintage section, which is really great, especially considering the fact that a lot of the other stuff in the store is, well, not. Immediately, two dresses caught my eye, and I bundled them up in my little paw, considered bringing them to the cash register, and then put them back, thinking, 'No, Rosemary, you really don't need two new dresses.' Off I toddled.
Then, approximately three hours later, I went back for them. And that, you know, is how you can be sure you both want and need something – if you're willing to go back for it.
So anyway, because you people don't seem entirely put out by my posting photographs of myself here, and I haven't been fired for it yet, here they are:
Here I am, at a jaunty angle in my bedroom mirror. I know, it all looked so much more glamorous the other day. It's a really nice 1980s dress with a crossover front that's going to need to be pinned, to save my frightening young children, and a drop waist with a gorgeous tie that can either be tied, as intended, down quite low, or can be tied up higher (as above) to give it more of a waist. It also has a pleated back, all through the back of the dress and the skirt – I quite love it.
Here's a close-up of my cleavage. I mean, of the pattern. Nice, wha'?
Now please: this is a not-very-flattering photograph. My bedroom also looks a bit messy. I must set up my tripod, because, believe it or not, I have a decent camera that doesn't have a phone attached, and I even have a remote switch. It's amazing when it gets its act together. This dress is a gorgeous raspberry colour and has a really interesting button-down detail with an open collar above it. It's really sweet, although I think the length might be a little dowdy. It may yet take a trip to the alterations folk.
So there you have it! Sometimes the first things you see are the best things! (Is the moral of that story.) But while we're on the top, here are my top tips for shopping secondhand . . .
1. Abandon all ideas of size. Today's 14 is not 1980′s 14, nor even 1990′s 14. Try everything on – or, if you're like me and hate changing rooms, just buy it and then eBay it if it doesn't fit. Simple!
2. If it has a sweat stain – or any stain – leave it be. Vintage fabrics are notoriously hard to destain, and chances are, that mark has been there longer than you've been having hot dinners. It ain't budgin' for you, Vanish or no.
3. Don't go too full-on vintage. Vintage items are lovely. Full-on, all-over vintage is fancy dress. Just bear that in mind.
4. Decent leather is decent leather, no matter how old or new it is. If you find yourself a lovely leather bag, and you're concerned that it might not last, think about it: if it's lasted this long, you won't be the one to break it. Vintage leather can often be far more lovely than modern, and much better made.
5. Lastly, don't buy vintage for the label. Find a Céline dress? Congratulations, but unless you actually like and will wear it, leave well enough alone. You're hardly going to turn your dress collection into the world's first private Sotheby's auction, let's face it*.
Happy shopping!
* This may or may not be a lesson I have yet to learn.

1) The Cockatiel "Scristle"
Some people will call this a "scream," some a "squawk," and others a "screech," but whatever you call it, the cockatiel "scristle" (i.e., scream plus whistle) is a frequent cockatiel vocalization. Cockatiels will utter this attention-getting squeal when they are upset, scared, lonely or excited.
I call this vocalization a "scristle" because cockatiels have very melodic, high-pitched voices, so it doesn't sound like a scream that a macaw or cockatoo makes, but more like train on helium.
Why is your cockatiel is making this sound? That's easy. As you get to know your bird's personality, you will come to understand when he's afraid or just excited. If he's vocalizing like crazy after you come home from work, clambering around the cage and begging for some head scratches, you'll know you've got a happy — yet loud — 'tiel.
If a cat is stalking your cockatiel, a bunch of helium balloons have floated near his cage or you're vacuuming, and your bird is making the same excited noises, it's likely because he's upset or scared.
2) Whistle
Cockatiels are expert whistlers and will learn to mimic whistles that they hear from their humans, television and the radio. This can be quite cute, because there are a lot of recognizable whistles, from the standard cat-call (or wolf-whistle) to the Andy Griffith television show theme.
There are special "whistle teaching" CDs and song file downloads that you can play for your bird to teach him or her specific whistles. Male cockatiels are more likely to repeat human vocalizations, but females can be competent whistlers too.
A whistling cockatiel can be trying to connect with you by picking up human sounds. He also might be bored if he's sitting alone and whistling to a toy, or excited, based on what's going on in his surroundings.
3) Chatter/Talking/Singing
Cockatiels pick up a lot of human chatter, words and songs, especially the males. This is their way of "blending in," making themselves part of your flock and trying to communicate with you. A talking 'tiel is usually a happy 'tiel, but they will also talk when bored.
4) Hiss
Cockatiels hiss when they're afraid or threatened. A hissing bird is a bird who's feeling cornered and is likely to bite. Do not put your hand (or anything else) near a hissing cockatiel. Allow the bird to decompress and give him some space.
5) Contact Call
Cockatiels will develop a contact call that they use with each other or with their human friends. A contact call is typical between family members and pairs when one or more of the birds is out of sight. It communicates well-being, kind of like asking, "I'm safe, are you?" Or even, "Hey, come back!" The sound of the vocalization depends on whether the bird is trying to locate an avian pal or a person.
If you're out of the room and your cockatiel consistently whistles until you come back, that might be his contact call with you. What should you do? Call back! Whistle mimicking your cockatiel if you can (so he comes to understand that you're calling back), or if your whistling skills aren't great, say "Hi [your bird's name]" in a high-pitched voice.
Not calling back can create some anxiety for your cockatiel, who will wonder if you're OK — and if he's going to be alone forever. Typically, a bird will only contact call if he's bonded with his human — a stressed and unhappy bird is unlikely to do this, unless he's desperately calling for a bird or human he misses (in the case of being separated).
Here's a good range of cockatiel noises:

Weekend Break in Bath
A great little guest house situated a decent walk from the city centre.
Room was very clean and comfortable, well equipped and quiet. Breakfast was great, generous helpings and a full compliment of trimmings.
