Dr. Samueli also Resigns from the Broadcom Board of Directors
IRVINE, Calif., May 14, 2008 -- Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM) announced today that Chairman of the Board and Chief Technical Officer, Dr. Henry Samueli, and Senior Vice President and General Counsel, David A. Dull, have each taken leaves of absence as executive officers of Broadcom pending resolution of a civil complaint filed against them today by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission relating to its previously- disclosed investigation of Broadcom's historical stock option granting practices.
Also pending resolution of the civil action, Dr. Samueli has resigned as a member of the Board of Directors and as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company. The Board has named John E. Major, an independent director of the company since January 2003, to serve as non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Mr. Major made the following statement:
"While we will not be commenting on the allegations made in the SEC's complaint against Henry and David, or against other former Broadcom employees, it is important to note that the government's charges pertain to events that occurred half a decade to nearly a decade ago."
"In mid-2003 the company significantly strengthened its equity award practices, putting into place rigorous processes for equity awards. We believe that the company's current practices are among the best anywhere. In early 2007, our Audit Committee, comprised entirely of independent directors, engaged independent counsel to determine that Broadcom's current equity granting processes are appropriate and sound and have been consistently adhered to since June 2003."
"The Board is also confident that the company has built strong teams under the office of the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and within the Legal Department that will discharge the daily business of the company and carry forward our strategic initiatives without missing a beat."
While Dr. Samueli and Mr. Dull are on leaves of absences from their elected officer posts (CTO and Senior Vice President and General Counsel, respectively), they will continue to serve as non-officer employees of the company, reporting to President and Chief Executive Officer, Scott A. McGregor, in their areas of expertise - Dr. Samueli in technology and Mr. Dull in strategic initiatives and litigation matters. They will not be involved in matters dealing with corporate governance, the company's financial reporting or public disclosures, and will no longer have the power to bind the Company under agreements. Dr. Samueli will not be standing for re-election to the Board of Directors at the company's 2008 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Last month, Broadcom entered into a settlement with the SEC relating to the SEC's investigation of Broadcom's historical stock option granting practices. Without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, Broadcom agreed to pay a civil penalty of $12 million. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California approved the settlement at the end of April 2008, thus concluding the SEC's investigation of this matter with respect to Broadcom.
Note to Editors
Broadcom's President and Chief Executive Officer, Scott A. McGregor, joined the company in January 2005. Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Eric K. Brandt joined Broadcom in March 2007.

We found out our daughter Stella had food allergies when she was just under a year old. It began when we went out to dinner one night and we decided to give her her first bite of vanilla ice cream. Later when we got home and lifted her from her car seat we found her covered in hives. Little did we know that would be the first time for countless other times when she would have an allergic reaction. Sometimes it was the same tell-tale hives, other times her entire face would swell within seconds, causing her eyes to be barely visible through two slits. A few times my child was unrecognizable because whatever food she ate would cause her to look deformed. We got the message. The message was loud and clear: that food allergies are serious and not to be taken lightly. They are unpredictable. They are terrifying. They are life threatening.
Last summer a young 13 year old girl named Natalie Giorgi died after accidentally eating something that contained peanut butter. She was with her father, a doctor. They used three Epi-Pens to try and save her. It wasn't enough. Natalie was diagnosed with having an allergy to peanuts and tree nuts after suffering a mild reaction to a tree nut when she was a toddler. She and her family avoided tree nuts and peanuts her whole life up until the fateful evening when she accidentally ate something with peanut butter. Just because you have a mild reaction once doesn't mean it will be mild the next time you're exposed. There's no such thing as having a "mild" food allergy. They are all serious because they are so unpredictable.
7 year old Joseph DeNicola died a few days after suffering an allergic reaction to something he ate on Halloween this year. Joseph had a milk allergy. Although nuts are the most lethal, all food allergies can be life-threatening.
This week, the day before Thanksgiving- the biggest food-centered holiday of the year- college sophomore Chandler Swink, age 19, died after being exposed to peanuts at a friend's house. He injected himself with his Epi-Pen, drove himself to the hospital and was found unconscious in the parking lot. He was in a food allergy induced coma for more than a week before he died. His school district did what they could to keep him safe and made their district "peanut free" to accommodate him, but because of that he was bullied by both parents and students because of the nut restriction. He was happy to finally be in college where he was no longer labeled as the boy who was allergic to peanuts.
And just yesterday on Thanksgiving day, 16 year old Jamie Mendoza died after mistakenly eating a peanut butter cookie he thought was chocolate chip on October 15. Instead of enjoying a nice Thanksgiving with family and friends, his parents said their final goodbyes to their son.
THIS HAS GOT TO STOP. No one knows exactly why there is the sudden increase of food allergies in our children, but there is no denying it. They exist. They are real. They are unpredictable. And they are deadly.
Please, please, PLEASE- I beg you to SPEAK UP about the dangers of food allergies. Educate your family, your children, your friends, your co-workers, teachers, strangers and anyone who will listen. I know sometimes I feel my daughter's food allergies is all I think or talk about, that I must sound like a boring broken record. Sometimes I assume that my friends and family understand more than they actually do. Sometimes I'm surprised by how much understanding they have and that they go above and beyond to keep my child safe, and for that I am forever grateful.
Remind your children often about the dangers of food allergies. Teach them to take care of themselves, and to speak up when needed. Do food allergy drills with them. Practice any scenario you can think of that may put them in danger and talk about what they would do. Use expired Epi-Pens on oranges for practice. Get comfortable on how to use one, and teach their friends how to do it too. Talk about the signs of an allergic reaction so they know. Never stop teaching them.
These stories of young people dying because of eating something they are allergic to tears at my heart. These are all of our children. This is all of our burden to make sure they are safe, to make sure our own children who might not have food allergies know how to take care of those who do.

Look who is chasing malware now. It's the FBI of the United States. After busting all the bad guys in the world (sometimes even inside countries considered friendly to them) they are now on to a new hunt – the deadliest DNSChanger Trojan malware. This Trojan malware is considered to be the most massive internet fraud ever. The truth is that the computers affected with the DNSChanger malware is potentially vulnerable to attacks from other viruses and malware. To understand the enormity of this malware, see what TheHackerNews.com had to say about it ( the article ).
…"The DNSChanger malware was first discovered around 2007, and since this time has infected millions of computers, around 500,000 of them

While the world ponders the impact of superheroes on the population in the wake of this weekend's tragic (and still unfolding) events in Colorado, and some ponder what a return to the bad of days of comics might mean, Warner Brothers has released two slightly different trailers for their attempt at latest updating Superman for the modern era: The Man of Steel, in Pa Kent or Jor El flavours. Via i09.
Feel like a dork for humming the Superman theme? Now you can SING IT.
Mario is at bat, man! Just in time to handle your jones for singalong fan bonding, to speak the heretofore unspoken truths of super jawesome classic film themes. Also he dresses up, like it's, um, Halloween.
Indian Superman
Indian Superman is a movie of questionable legality released in India in the mid eighties. Perhaps it should have had a wider release since it has a great deal of humorous appeal for Western audiences. Check out this review from Stomp Tokyo. I'm looking forward to a crossover when Indian Superman meets Indian Spider-Man. via Sepia Mutiny

McG to direct first Superman movie in 15 years.
McG to direct first Superman movie in 15 years. The now-discarded Tim Burton/Kevin Smith collaboration made more sense to me...seems that a less confident, more troubled Kal-el, living in a darker world, would take off the campy edge Superman stories often have, and draw modern audiences (especially today's teens). But surely McG (Charlie's Angels) and writer J.J. Abrams (Alias and Felicity) will bring us a smugly self-actualized Superman in a postmodern world full of kaleidoscopic action scenes. And that will never work as anything more than eye candy...will it?

Milwaukie-based non-profit Northwest Housing Alternatives will hold its annual plant sale fundraiser on May 11.
More than 700 annuals, perennials, trees and hanging baskets were donated for the sale, which will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Milwaukie Farmers Market site across from City Hall.
Tim Collier, the resource development director at Northwest Housing Alternatives, said the sale is a perfect chance to pick up a last minute Mother's Day gift while supporting local families transitioning out of homelessness.
"The more people who come out and buy a plant, the stronger we get," Collier said. "We can literally start serving more people based on this sale."
All proceeds benefit the Annie Ross House, the only emergency shelter for families in Clackamas County, and the organization's homelessness prevention and rehousing program.
Collier said more than 2,600 people in 17 Oregon counties sleep in a NW Housing Alternatives apartment every night.
"We primarily serve seniors on fixed incomes, low income families who just can't afford rent and adults with disabilities," Collier said. "We think that having a safe, dignified place for people to call home is absolutely vital to succeeding."
For more information about the sale, visit the organization's website.

Real Estate
Property sales hit $3.4b
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- December 04, 2012
THE number of retail property deals struck in Australia has surged despite weak consumer sentiment, research indicates.
Retail property transactions increased 29 per cent in the nine months to September, compared with the same period a year ago, according to broker CB Richard Ellis.
About $3.4 billion worth of retail properties changed hands, according to CBRE.
More than $500 million in transactions were recorded in the three months to September.
"The defensive nature of retail assets has been reaffirmed by the fact that retail rents have still been growing, albeit slowly, post the global financial crisis,'' said CBRE retail research manager Tammy Smith.
Private investors were the biggest buyers of shopping centres and stand-alone properties, particularly those priced at less than $30 million, CBRE said.
Weak retailers were closing, making room for international retailers, it said.

Fine, I'll admit. I completely forgot about the Ray Allen-Kobe Bryant "He said, She said."
But I like it all the same.
For those with a lack of history, SupersonicSoul does a great job giving a lesson.
Ray Allen on Kobe Bryant, October 2004...A sample::
"...in about a year or two he'll be calling out to Jerry Buss that 'We need some help in here,' or 'Trade me.' And we'll all be saying, 'I told you so,' when he says that."
Told you so, Kobe.
It's well documented that the feud, which began back in 2004, is now a "non issue."
But I'm not going to believe that. If there's one thing I learned in the years the Shaq-Kobe Lakers were being forced down my throat, it's that Kobe doesn't let things go all the time. And the fact that the rant Allen went on when about Kobe ultimately became true only makes Kobe look worse.
It's safe to say, he'll have a bit of added motivation to get even. And that's fine. I'm just hoping Ray-Ray uses this to continue the success he had in Game 6 vs. the Pistons.
This is getting good.

BOSTON - The state Division of Professional Licensure has launched an informational website and a telephone tip line for students of occupational schools.
The agency licenses and regulates more than 200 occupational schools, which provide training to students looking to practice in a wide range of trades and professions, such as health care, business and construction trades.
"Occupational schools play an important role in training and retraining workers for gainful employment across many professions," said Barbara Anthony, undersecretary of the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, which oversees the licensure division. "We look forward to working with the industry and its students to help fill a critical work force alignment role."
The website - www.mass.gov/dpl/schools - provides information on licensing requirements, consumer protection measures, applicable regulations and other matters important to occupational schools, sales representatives, students and the public.
The tip line - (617) 727-6917 - offers students a straightforward way to lodge complaints against occupational schools or sales representatives for violations, such as deceptive recruiting practices, unqualified instructors or failure to provide required tuition refunds. The tip line will be staffed during business hours, and will allow callers to leave voicemail messages at all other times. All complaints will be investigated.
"No school can guarantee that students will get a job," said licensure division director Mark Kmetz. "But good occupational schools can provide students the skills they need to get good jobs in a number of trades and professions. (Our division) will use its licensing and regulating authority to promote good, quality occupational school programs, and will use its enforcement tools to protect students and the public."
Under legislation signed into law by Gov. Deval L. Patrick this year, oversight responsibility for private occupational schools transferred from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to the licensure agency on Aug. 1.
The new law authorizes the division to license private occupational schools and their sales representatives, to adopt rules and regulations, to investigate complaints and conduct inspections and to take enforcement actions. Violations include making misrepresentations to prospective students, employing unqualified instructors and failing to properly refund tuition payments. Possible sanctions include license suspension, probation or revocation and civil penalties. The civil penalties can reach $5,000 for each violation by a licensee, and $10,000 for the unlicensed operation of an occupational school ($25,000 for a subsequent violation). The agency also can order restitution and issue directives to cease and desist unlawful practices.
The Division of Professional Licensure is a regulatory agency within the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. The agency is responsible for ensuring regulatory compliance and the integrity of the licensing process for more than 365,000 licensees in trades and professions under the jurisdiction of 31 boards of registration, and more than 200 private occupational schools.

OvertimeLaws.org is a public service site, and is not associated with the United States Department of Labor
Overtime pay is additional pay granted to employees who have worked over a certain amount of hours in a given timeframe. Employers in Guam must adhere to both federal and state overtime regulations defining how much overtime must be paid, and which employees are entitled to overtime pay.
Non-exempt employees in Guam are entitled to overtime pay of 1.5 times their average hourly rate for every hour worked over 40 in a single week. Based on the Guam minimum wage of $8.25 per hour, the minimum amount any Guam worker should receive as overtime pay is $12.38 per hour.
Some employees are exempt from overtime, and therefore can be asked to work more then 40 hours a week without receiving overtime pay. Some overtime-exempt jobs are specified in federal overtime law, such as most white collar jobs, while other exemptions are specific to Guam's state overtime laws.
Workers in Guam are subject to overtime protection under the fedeeral Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
To calculate your weekly overtime pay, enter your normal hourly wage and the weekly number of hours you worked into the GU overtime calculator. Your overtime pay will then be calculated and displayed.
If your employer has not paid you overtime and you believe you are entitled to overtime pay for the work you have done, there are steps you can take to ensure that you are paid what you deserve. First check Guam state overtime law as well as federal overtime exemptions to ensure that your occupation is not exempt from overtime, and ask your employer directly why you were not paid.
If you are sure that you are entitled to overtime that has not been paid and are unable to work out an agreement with your employer directly, your next step is to contact the Guam Department of Labor with an unpaid overtime claim form. You can contact the Guam Department of Labor office here:

Six New Jersey high school athletic programs will receive the ShopRite Cup not only because of talent on the field, but great sportsmanship as well.
The ShopRite Cup is presented jointly by ShopRite stores and the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA). Out of the six schools that receive the award, four are public schools and two are private. The program began in 2004.
"Awareness of the ShopRite Cup competition has grown tremendously since we first started this program, making it a coveted prize for schools and student athletes alike," Steve Timko, executive director of the NJSIAA, said in a release. "Our participants not only learn the importance of teamwork during the season but also the benefits of hard work and determination. Whether they receive the Cup or not, all of our athletes are winners."
The winning programs, with the school's trophy presentation date, are listed below:
-Kingsway Regional High School (Sept. 12, 7 p.m., on football field)
-Villa Walsh Academy (Sept. 14, 10:45 a.m., soccer field at halftime)
-Haddonfield Memorial High School (Sept. 17, 7:30 p.m., at Haddonfield HS library)
-Millburn High School (Sept. 21, 2:15 p.m., on football field)
-Christian Brothers Academy (Oct. 3, 1:30 p.m., during afternoon assembly)
-Metuchen High School (Oct. 4, 7:35 p.m., football field during halftime)
According to a release from the NJSIAA, "to win, schools must earn ShopRite Cup points and finish in the top four places for their group's state championship competition in 32 NJSIAA-sanctioned sports during the 2012-2013 school year. The ShopRite Cup also rewards bonus points for sportsmanship."
The ceremonies for each team will include ShopRite Cup trophies and banners, plus the local ShopRites for each school will also display a congratulatory banner.

Governor Tom Corbett's latest budget proposal takes a three-prong approach to reining in Pennsylvania's pension contributions -- a situation which he says has reached the crisis stage.
But even if his plan achieves its ultimate aims, the state is in for some rough sledding financially over the next two decades, according to information supplied by administration officials on Tuesday, when Corbett unveiled his budget.
Still, administration officials say the changes could result in almost $2 billion in savings for the state over the next five years, and $1 billion for school districts during the same period.
At the moment, administration officials say, state pension plans are $41 billion short of being funded, and that number will grow to $65 billion by 2018.
If nothing is done, they say, it will take at least two decades for the unfunded liability to drop below the current $41 billion shortfall.
That would mean large tax increases every year to meet pension obligations, or deep cuts in state programs and services, or both, they say.
According to administration officials, Corbett's pension reform plan would slow the steep rise in unfunded liability expected over the next five years; bring down the number to current levels by 2030, and eliminate it by 2040.
The first part of Corbett's reform plan would require all new state employees to be moved to a 401(a) defined contribution plan, starting in 2015.
Budget secretary Charles Zogby explained that a 401(a) "is a 401(k) for government employees." Corbett said in his budget address that the 401(a) "will be consistent with the retirement packages currently enjoyed almost universally by private sector employees."
Enrollment in the plan would be automatic and contributions would be mandatory, and employees would be vested in four years.
This change will shift risk away from the state and taxpayers and prevent future unfunded liabilities, administration officials said.
The second part of the reform plan would change the way future benefits are calculated for current employees.
The changes include setting an employee's final salary by averaging the amount he or she was paid the previous five years; tying the top amount that can be used to determine a pension to the top of the Social Security wage base, which is $113,700 for 2013, and capping the amount of an employee's pension to 110 percent of his or her average salary over the last four years of work.
Also, if an employee decides to withdraw all of his or her contributions to the account in a lump sum, the pension payment will be based on the amount remaining in the account.
The final part of Corbett's plan calls for cutting the state's mandated contribution to employees' pension accounts in half -- from 4.5 to 2.25 percent -- in the 2013-14 fiscal year.
The amount would increase by half a percentage point each year until it reaches 4.5 percent.
Corbett pledged in his address that he "will not allow any cuts to any of our retirees," or permit what current employees have earned "to be diminished in any way."
But the governor knows his proposals face an uphill climb -- he recently said it would take "an unprecedented collaboration" among the administration, the Legislature, the unions representing state and school employees and the workers themselves to get the reforms done.
From the governor's vantage point, time is of the essence. "The longer we wait the more disruptive the solution will become," Corbett said as he explained his budget to state lawmakers. "So please, let us act now."

Jefferson Parish schools Superintendent Diane Roussel brought good news to the School Board Wednesday -- the school system has moved up 12 spots in Louisiana's accountability rankings and is one of the most improved systems in the state.
Jefferson is now ranked 52nd out of 70 school systems -- up from 64th in previous rankings, which were based on 2008-2009 figures, Roussel told the board.
Roussel received word of the ranking earlier Wednesday from the Louisiana Department of Education, which will release district and school performance scores for all 70 of the state's school systems today.
A press conference will take place at 2 p.m. in Baton Rouge, and Roussel said she was invited because Jefferson is in the top 10 of Louisiana's most improved systems.
Jefferson's district performance score rose from 80.6 to 84.9, a 4.3 gain. Performance scores for school systems are based on a combination of standardized test scores, and attendance and graduation rates.
"This improvement is because of the extraordinary efforts of the teachers, students, principals and parents," Roussel said.
Jefferson's previous ranking near the bottom of all school systems in the state was a significant issue in Saturday's school board elections in which four incumbents, Gene Katsanis, Martin Marino, Libby Moran and Judy Colgan, were defeated and a fifth, Mark Morgan, was forced into a runoff.
The challengers, most of whom were backed by an influential coalition of business leaders, used the ranking in their campaign material to convince voters it was time for change.
Several of the ousted board members spoke Wednesday, saying they feel vindicated by new ranking.
"That's extremely good news, in light of what has been said by people who tried to make the school system look like something it wasn't," Katsanis, the board's president, said.
"I think that's absolutely fantastic news," said Morgan, who will face registered nurse Victoria Goldstein in a Nov. 2 runoff. "I want to congratulate the teachers, principals and administrators, because they are truly responsible for that improvement."
Board member Etta Licciardi, former teacher and principal who was re-elected without opposition, agreed but said students deserve just as much praise.
"I want to thank the students for paying attention in class and taking these tests seriously. Without the teachers working daily with students and students taking the test seriously, we wouldn't have this kind of progress."
Moran said employees deserve more than praise, and later in the meeting she proposed a $2,000 bonus for teachers and $1,000 bonus for support workers. The bonuses would cost the system about $16 million. The board will consider Moran's proposal at its November meeting.
The $16 million in bonuses is significantly less than the $26 million that Moran initially suggested -- $3,500 for teachers and $2,000 for support workers.
Before the meeting, Moran said the $26 million mentioned in a Times-Picayune article Wednesday was "hearsay." But in an Oct. 4 e-mail to board members and Roussel titled "Libby Moran request," Raylyn Stevens, chief financial officer, said a $3,500 raise for teachers and a $2,000 raise for support workers would cost $26 million.

LINWOOD, Mich. -- The Grand Valley State women's and men's cross country teams haven't known what it is like to lose conference titles in a long time.
They weren't about to experience that feeling Saturday.
Both Lakers teams kept their impressive streaks alive with victories at the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championships. GVSU's men swept to their eighth consecutive title with 21 points, followed by Saginaw Valley State at 53.
Grand Valley's women, who had not lost a title since 2000, made it nine in a row, winning with 20 points -- 25 points ahead of runner-up Ferris State.
GVSU's men placed seven runners in the top 13 overall, led by overall winner Tyler Emmorey (Cedar Springs).
Emmorey, a sophomore, ran 24 minutes, 38.6 seconds and finished ahead of teammate and runner-up Ross Faasse (24.42.5). Faasse, a senior, formerly ran at Forest Hills Northern.
Behind third-place finisher Saginaw Valley senior Steve Genther were Grand Valley freshman Stephen Fuelling and sophomore Anthony Witt fourth and fifth, respectively.
Ferris State junior Tina Muir won the women's race in 21:20.2. Grand Valley's women swept the next seven spots, including all five scoring positions from two through six.
Junior Megan Maceratini (21:33.1) led the way in second, followed by Katherine McCarthy (Kenowa Hills), Eileen Creutz, Amy Kolin and Jessie Vickers.
This is the last action for Grand Valley until Nov. 7, when the Lakers travel to Kenosha, Wis., for the Division II regionals. At stake is a trip to Evansville, Ind., on Nov. 21 for the national championships.

This blog has no connection to a documentary called "Oregon at War," which is airing tonight in OPB. The hourlong documentary will focus on Oregon's role in World War II, from building Liberty ships to sending off Japanese-Americans to be interned. Here's The Oregonian's preview of it.
Also, Scott Kesterson, who spent a year in Afghanistan with the 41st BCT, is working on his documentary of the experience. For Mark Larabee's story about it, read on. For a trailer, see this:
For Portland filmmaker Scott Kesterson, who spent a year in Afghanistan with U.S. troops, the experience of being in a war taught him that war goes far beyond combat.
"There's passion, compassion, emotion, joy and laughter, humor and tears," he said. "It's an entirely different life."
"At War," the title of the film, is not based on politics.
"It's challenging us to look at ourselves," Kesterson said. "War is a constant in human history and we have to look deep into ourselves to realize that war is a part of who we are."
The documentary he is now editing in Dallas, Texas, with Pulitzer Prize-winning combat photographer David Leeson, provides a unique opportunity for the public to experience war firsthand, without editorial comment one might get or expect from a Michael Moore film, Kesterson said.
The film should be completed by January, he said, with openings planned for Portland and Dallas.
Beginning in March 2006, Kesterson spent 15 months filming soldiers with the 41st Brigade, led by Brig. Gen. Douglas Pritt of the Oregon National Guard. About 900 Oregon Guard soldiers were part of the mission.
After three months training at Camp Shelby, Miss., Kesterson was on the ground in Afghanistan, the first journalist to stay with a single unit for an entire year. In small teams, the soldiers trained Afghan National Army forces throughout the country.
Kesterson's work already has garnered the 2007 Photography Emmy Award for Advanced Media for battle footage of a Canadian unit, part of the larger Task Force Phoenix in Afghanistan.
In a telephone interview, Kesterson credited Leeson -- the movie's executive producer and executive producer of video and new media for The Dallas Morning News -- with a lesson that helped him focus on his work and not the dangers surrounding him.
"He told me to always remember there's calm behind the lens," Kesterson said. "The thing you're there to do is capture the experience and that's what you become focused on. Bullets don't really cross your mind.
"Once you bury yourself behind the lens, the world changes," he said. "You have to give into the fact that you're already in a crazy situation."

Southampton have protested against having Mark Clattenburg officiate any of their fixtures until an investigation into alleged abuse from the referee against their players has been completed.
However, the Premier League has acted quickly to end the matter, according to reporter Ian Abrahams:
Premier League says referee Mark Clattenburg has no case to answer after allegations he insulted Southampton capt Adam Lallana at Everton— Ian Abrahams (@BroadcastMoose) January 3, 2014
An allegation was made by Southampton that the Premier League official "abused and insulted" Saints midfielder Adam Lallana during their 2-1 loss to Everton on Dec. 29, 2013.
The Daily Mail's Neil Ashton writes that referees' chief Mike Riley has taken charge of the matter, which is said to have happened late in the match. Southampton were denied a penalty after what looked like a fairly obvious handball by Antolin Alcaraz in the area.
An excerpt from Ashton's article reads:
Lallana confronted Clattenburg at Goodison after his cross was met by the hand of Everton defender Antolin Alcaraz. The referee turned down Southampton appeals for a penalty. According to sources close to the incident, Clattenburg spoke to the player in a manner that is 'not what you might expect of one of the game's top officials.'
Saints manager Mauricio Pochettino was furious with Clattenburg after the game and claimed the South Coast club should have been awarded two spot-kicks.
It isn't the first time Clattenburg has come under fire for his treatment of players. In Oct. 2012, the County Durham native came under investigation for alleged racist remarks aimed in the direction of Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel during the Blues' 3-2 loss to Manchester United.
However, as the Telegraph's Mark Ogden reported at the time, the Football Association cleared Clattenburg of all charges as the Premier League official was found innocent of the allegations.
Ironically, Clattenburg's return as a Premier League referee came roughly a month after that incident, when the 38-year-old took charge of a fixture between Southampton and Norwich City in Nov. 2012.
Saints boss Pochettino was clearly incensed by Clattenburg's failure to award what he saw as two very clear and potentially decisive calls in the defeat to Everton. Per Ashton's article, the Argentinian said in his post-match comments:
I don't mean any disrespect against any referees but anyone watching the game can see there were two clear penalties that weren't given or should have been given.
I am saying that should not be forgotten in the overall analysis of the game and they need to be said. We don't want to be judged by our young, handsome, good-looking players. We just want what's fair. We can be a******s as well.
The home crowd felt differently, however, and The Times' Rory Smith reported that supporting Evertonians showed their appreciation of Clattenburg's decision:
Goodison Park unites to applaud Mark Clattenburg's sensible handling of that Distin/Lallana spat. "Well dealt with," they chorus.— Rory Smith (@RorySmithTimes) December 29, 2013
The game at Goodison Park a week ago was Clattenburg's first refereed match at Everton, per the Independent, since the Merseyside Derby controversy that saw him send Tony Hibbert off in 2007.
Having initially shown the intent to give the Toffees right-back a yellow, Clattenburg seemingly changed his mind after Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard intervened. He also failed to show Dirk Kuyt the same punishment for what looked like a clear red-card offence of his own.
Some Everton fans will feel that the Premier League official has made up for that particular controversy, although Southampton's complaints are of an altogether more serious nature.
Clattenburg, until proven otherwise, remains innocent of any allegations pointed in his direction.

The Boston Celtics have five concerns that need to be addressed, and they have been apparent through just 14 games in the 2012-13 regular season.
Before allowing panic to set in, remind yourself that the season is young, the team is full of veterans and has a coach who will stop at nothing to get the C's on track.
So what exactly is it that Boston has to mend to achieve the level of play that the team and fans are expecting?

FLINT, Michigan -- Some simply said to give the recalls a rest, while others who are worried about public safety in Flint and say they want to help recall Flint Mayor Dayne Walling.
Flint Journal readers are sharing mixed reactions to Flint Board of Education member David Davenport filing recall petition language earlier today in the Genesee County Clerk's office in response to Walling announcing 80 police and firefighter layoffs last week.
"For crying out loud," wrote user Harold Taco. "You pinheads elected the guy, now let him serve his term. He is actually doing the responsible thing by trying to balance to books."
But user Bullseye wrote: "We need to get rid of him (Walling) before he can do more damage. Where do I sign the petition?"
And others such as user flintmogul simply asked for readers to offer their solutions.
"It is easy to be critical. Folks, the tax revenue from property taxes is going down fast. Our fire and police departments will continue to downsize. So let's hear some positive/proactive ideas."

Immediate Family
- Directed by Jonathan Kaplan
===Story=== Few subjects for film are as fat with moral and emotional complexity as human infertility, and the 1989 ''Immediate Family'' is an interesting, serio-comic example. Glenn Close and James Woods star as the Spectors, an aging, professional couple who can't conceive on their own. After meeting an unmarried and pregnant 17-year-old girl named Lucy (Mary Stuart Masterson), the Spectors decide to care for her until she hands over her baby to them for adoption. Everything goes according to plan until Lucy and her boyfriend (Kevin Dillon) make the bold decision that they don't want to part with their child, leaving the Spectors twisting in the wind until collective love and wisdom find a way out of this predicament. Directed by Jonathan Kaplan (''The Accused''), ''Immediate Family'' has an honest appeal and attractive performances, but is also noteworthy for its counterintuitive casting of a fiery Woods as a bland, conventional lead.

In this series, AL.com recruiting reporter Matt Scalici will take an in-depth look at Alabama's recruiting outlook at each position. Today, we continue our series with a look at the Crimson Tide's linebackers.
Underclassmen: Xzavier Dickson (Jr), Adrian Hubbard (Jr), Trey DePriest (Jr), Denzel Devall (So), Dillon Lee (So) Reggie Ragland (So), Ryan Anderson (RFr), Reuben Foster (Fr), Walker Jones (Fr), Tim Williams (Fr).
Possible early NFL Draft entrants: Adrian Hubbard, Trey DePriest, Xzavier Dickson.
What Alabama needs: Nick Saban has begun showing an interest in recruiting smaller, quicker players at linebacker capable of making plays in coverage, due in large part to the increase in popularity of spread formations. Reuben Foster and Tim Williams both fit that mold last year and Alabama could be looking for similarly versatile linebacker prospects going forward.
2014 commitments:
Christian Miller
6-foot-4/222 lbs
Spring Valley/Columbia, SC
Scouting Report: An outside linebacker with a large frame capable of growing into an edge rusher at the college level. The son of former NFL star Corey Miller, this five-star defender has both the athleticism and high football IQ to thrive in Nick Saban's system.
Highlight Reel:
Zach Whitley
6-foot-2/220 lb
North Shore/Houston, TX
Scouting Report: Physically, Whitley is a prototypical inside linebacker with the size and strength to stop the run and the athleticism to get through gaps and pressure the quarterback. Whitley's commitment is the latest example of Alabama's ability to recruit the state of Texas.
Highlight Reel:
Shaun Dion Hamilton
6-foot/240 lbs
Carver/Montgomer, AL
Scouting Report: While he lacks the height typical of an Alabama inside linebacker, Hamilton's athleticism and coverage skills make him a player well suited to helping out in those increasingly common nickel and dime situations. Hamilton is also uncommonly strong and delivers punishing hits as a run stopper.
Highlight Reel:
Top Targets:
Lorenzo Carter
6-foot-5/232 lbs
Norcross/Norcross, GA
Recruiting Intel: The nation's top weakside defensive end prospect could project as an outside linebacker at Alabama, with the power and speed to be a dominating edge rusher. Georgia and Florida are considered Alabama's primary competition for Carter, who has yet to visit Tuscaloosa this season.
Highlight Reel:
Raekwon McMillan
6-foot-2/242 lbs
Liberty County/Hinesville, GA
Recruiting Intel: Largely regarded as the nation's top inside linebacker, McMillan is a powerful run stopper and a devastating tackler. Ohio State is considered the predominant favorite for the Georgia native though he did take an official visit to Alabama for the LSU game.
Highlight Reel:
Rashaan Evans
6-foot-3/220 lbs
Auburn/Auburn, AL
Recruiting Intel: After a spectacular senior season, Evans has quickly become one of the most coveted outside linebacker prospects in the nation. With the size and athleticism to play linebacker or safety, Evans is a versatile prospect capable of fitting in nicely into a number of different defensive schemes. Alabama has picked up its recruitment of Evans in recent weeks and the star came away impressed with his recent official visit to Tuscaloosa.
Highlight Reel:
Down the line...: Alabama has already extended scholarship offers to at least six linebackers for the class of 2015, including in-state star Keaton Anderson from Florence. Other top targets include five-star Malik Jefferson from Mesquite, Texas, Cincinnati star Justin Hilliard and Tennessee commit Cecil Cherry.

Muscle Isnt Built With Protein Alone Performance Creatine 300 Grams Combining proper nutrition and hard training are the keys to developing a healthy and athletic body, and supplementing with high-quality protein is one effective way to help build upon that foundation. Performance Creatine 300 Grams When it comes to breaking beyond the realm of average, however, there is one major research-backed supplement that has helped increase strength and muscle volume more than any in recent years Advanced Micronizing Technology Makes Creatine More Effective
Performance Creatine 300 Grams Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched and validated strength- and muscle-building nutritional supplements on the market, and its with good reason. Its been proven to help restore adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which is the predominant source of cellular energy, and it also helps add volume to muscle cell structures. That translates to increased strength during intense workouts, and more muscle gains.
Performance Creatine 300 Grams In order to completely maximize its bene?ts, however, creatine monohydrate should be fully dissolved in solution before ingestion. Thats why PERFORMANCE CREATINE harnesses the power of CreaSolv brand micronizing technology. Performance Creatine 300 Grams With 20 times more surface area than non-micronized creatine, PERFORMANCE CREATINE mixes quickly and completely. You can make use of every gram of creatine without any of the discomfort reported from less advanced varieties.
PERFORMANCE CREATINE increases muscle power and size beyond the limits of non-micronized creatine monohydrate.
Supplement Facts 300 Grams Unflavored Serving Size 5 grams (1 Teaspoon) Servings Per Container60
Directions For Performance Creatine: Mix 1 teaspoon (5 grams) with water or your favorite protein supplement, MRP, or high-glycemic carbohydrate beverage. Consume 1 teaspoon daily.

SEDANO: Stop using tired cliches. It ruins what is otherwise a decent radio show. I don't know how many times I've heard you use this phrase, which to be honest, doesn't even make sense. Over-think the room? What room? And why is it thinking?

Between you using every hackneyed phrase in the book and Gooze being nothing short of terrible in his stints as your substitute, I can't help but hit the Ipod a few minutes after I get in the car.

Online mortgage giant Quicken Loans is looking to move about 500 to 700 additional workers to offices in downtown Detroit.
Spokesman Aaron Emerson says Tuesday that the Livonia-based company is at capacity with the space its renting at the Compuware building near Campus Martius.
He says Quicken wants to consolidate employees from other locations and is looking at space in other downtown buildings. There is no time frame for the move, which will add to a planned 1,700 workers scheduled to move to the Compuware building later this spring.
The company is leasing four floors at Compuware and still plans to build its own headquarters.
Quicken announced in 2007 that it would move to Detroit, but switched gears when the national economy turned south.

UPPER NAPPAN - The Nappan River Watershed is one of four sites being used as pilot projects to study flooding.
Steve Ferguson, Cumberland County's director of policy and research, made a quick presentation to councilors Wednesday of the Atlantic Land and Infrastructure Resiliency Assessment Project.
"As we all know, there's an increasing storm frequency in the area and we expect that trend to continue. We want to think about what we can do to prepare for extreme rain events."
The provincial Department of Agriculture is working on a study with regard to flooding of the Nappan River Watershed area.
"Since the project was started," said Ferguson, "the federal government has come on board and developed this methodology, which is sort of a tool, to help assess the potential for flooding and affects of flooding, and to assess different ways to try and avoid it."
Although the federal funding for the LIRA project is only until the end of this month, Ferguson said any information coming from the study, regardless of if it continues after the funding runs out or not, will be beneficial.
Doug Bacon, a farmer in the area that had about two dozen head of cattle stranded this past summer because of flooding, has been providing input into the situation as well.
"We're very fortunate to be one of the four pilot projects and get this information," he said, noting it's a good start that the issue is being recognized as a concern.

By your readings,it's time for another fuel pump. I just went through the spider injector upgrade, and my pressure was 60# before and after. Oh, and mines a 98 as well.
Over the last couple of weeks, my Tahoe (5.7 Vortec) had been increasingly hard to start in the mornings. Then it wouldn't start at all!
I started with the ignition system...all of it! Cap and rotor (really bad), coil, ingition module, cam sensor, crank sensor. I have spark at the coil and plugs (at least at #1 where I checked). Still cranks but no start.
Before throwing more parts at this thing, with help from these forums, I decided to do a fuel pressure test. I just replaced the fuel pump and filter (by a mechanic friend) last year...that Can't be the problem...right?
Anyway, I turn the key on, pump starts up and pressure holds at 45 psi. From my readings here, this isn't enough to start the truck, right? The pressure holds and doesn't bleed down. I'm taking this to mean theat my fuel pump is bad, but the rest is ok. Am I on the right track here?
I don't want to change the pump in my garage and will have to have it towed to the repair shop.
Any and all replies are appreciated!
By your readings,it's time for another fuel pump. I just went through the spider injector upgrade, and my pressure was 60# before and after. Oh, and mines a 98 as well.
After about 10 minutes or so it bleeds down to around 35.
I'm guessing a tow is in order. This sucks!
Thanks for the reply!
The fuel pump should cycle on for about 2 seconds and then shut off, key on engine off. The fuel pressure will bleed down after a while with the key off. when you try to crank it, what does the fuel pressure read? if it's losing a significant amount of pressure, it's not putting enough volume out. Another thing you can try to do is turn the key on, and let it sit until the fuel pump cycles off (about 2 sec) and then try to start it.
'97 GMC 1500 350 w/305 heads & flows
Was the pump replaced with either a AC Delco pump or Carter brand pump? If not, I would guess its your pump. These are the only two pumps that hold up, I searched like crazy before buying a new pump for our old 98, and thats what was told. At 110k miles I put the carter in as the third fuel pump. Stock died at 95k ish, the aftermarket (non-carter brand) pump died at 110k.... they just dont last, so search out th Carter or the AC Delco pump this time..... We traded the truck in at 141k with no problems. The cheaper pump whined like crazy from new (it was the gf's truck, and she put that in before I met her)....
BTW, when I tested hers, it was 50 psi, so I tried some other things like yourself first, and then bit the bullet and replaced the pump.

You should rule out the fuel pressure regulator before installing a new pump - clamp off the fuel return line and turn ignition on, if pressure is now above 60 psi, your FPR is bad, if not likely your pump and/or check valve needs replacing.
I will definitely try that first.
The pump sounds a little weak as I listen more closely.
I know it wasn't a Carter or Delco. The next one will be.
you might be able to drive it to the shop, 45 MIGHT be enough to run, but not start, get some carb clean, spray it into the throttle body(the air tube off), reinstall the tube , and see if it starts and stays running

Tried starting fluid, she kicked and spit, but no start. She really wanted to!
Anyway, towed it to the repair shop this afternoon. Hopefully it will be back tomorrow.
If they find anything else, I'll be sure to update the thread.
Thanks guys!
Ok, so I towed the Tahoe to the repair shop and instructed them to replace the fuel pump.
So they ran a pressure test and said: It pumps up to 55psi so it should start. We checked the timing and it was WAY off. When #1 was at TDC the rotor was pointing at the steering wheel when it should be pointing at the drivers headlight.
They pulled the dist. and it the gears looked fine. They thought the timing chain was the issue, so they tore that down. Sure enough....it was fine!
So after putting everything back together, they adjusted the timing, but it still wouldn't start. It would run with starting fluid, but then die.
It seems the fuel pump will build the pressure, but the VOLUME was inadequate. So now, after all that BS, they are replacing the fuel pump!
They are not charging for the timing chain teardown, just pulling the distributor and replacing the fuel pump.
Man, I just want my truck back!
As soon as I pick it up, I'll let you know what happened.
Finally after all that crap, a new fuel pump has cured the problem. Just like I told them it would!
Runs like a champ now!
I have 1999 chevy tahoe that I replaced the fuel pump last june and this last saturday I checked the pressure. It read 50 psi, do you guys think it needs a new fuel pump or could it be fuel pressure regulator? It stumbles little when I step on the gas hard. I put in new fuel filter last dec. too. any ideas. thanks
I would bet the pump is going bad. Do it soon before the warranty runs out.
I think mine was deficient from the day it was installed. With the new Delphi OEM pump, my Tahoe starts easier and has more kick when it needs it.
Unfortunately, mine was about 3 months out of warranty. I'm still trying to get them to take it back. My company buys a LOT of parts from this vendor.
I just had another van 97 with 5.7 Vortec have the same symptoms, lots of cranking before it starts. Thankfully this was just a really old cap and rotor....170k miles old! Runs like a champ now! It was so bad the resistance caused the coil wire to arc against the firewall.

After eight years of roasting beans and serving coffee drinks on Ann Arbor's Main Street, David Myers is ready to bring his Mighty Good Coffee concept to two satellite locations: Mark's Carts and Two Wheel Tango bike shop on Jackson Road.
Mighty Good is one of five new vendors slated to open in Mark's Carts, the food cart courtyard on Washington Street, on Friday, April 4. Myers purchased the wood-clad cart formerly used by The Lunch Room, and has been busy fitting it out to serve locally roasted coffee drinks.
"It will have an extensive espresso menu," said Myers of his new food cart. "It will be slightly pared down from our full menu, just because of the size and storage space in a cart. But we'll have espresso drinks, cold brew, brewed coffee, hot chocolate, and pastries from Pastry Peddler and Tasty Bakery."
Myers will open his cart at 7 a.m. most days, hoping to capitalize on the foot traffic from people walking to work from west side homes and parking lots and structures. The current plan is to close at 2 p.m., but, as Myers said: "with everybody who goes into the carts, there's some experimentation."
"Being a part of what's happening at Mark's Carts will be exciting and fun," said Myers. "It's a completely different way of doing coffee for us. I like the vibe of the place, and I think it's going to be a blast. Our coffee shop is a community we built here, but the carts is a broader community we can deal with. This gives us a chance to interact with a whole new group of people in ths space that Mark (Hodesh) has created."
Myers is simultaneously building out a third Mighty Good location within the Two Wheel Tango bicycle shop at 4765 Jackson Road, with a targeted open date of May 1.
A coffee shop located within a bike shop may sound like an odd fit, but Myers says that it's part of a nationwide trend. According to a September Marketwatch story, a 2013 survey of 4,000 bike shops found that 12% have coffee bars.
Two Wheel Tango owner Dennis Pontius said that having a coffee shop in his bicycle shop makes perfect sense to him.
"David will be bringing a lot of new people into the store, and even if we attract half a percent of those people to our bicycles, it's a good thing," said Pontius. "And it's a positive for our customers. There are an awful lot of spouse victims who are only along for the ride and would like nothing more than to sit in a chair and drink coffee while their husband or wife browses bikes."
Pontius said that he had been considering adding a coffee shop to his retail bike store, but was intimidated by the amount of learning and training involved.
"The skill you need to make a good espresso drink takes years of your life," said Pontius. "I don't have that time to invest. My goal with Two Wheel Tango is to be the best bike store we can be, and David has the same philosophy with coffee. I think we're both really excited about this."
Myers said that the Two Wheel Tango Mighty Good location will have a full menu. He'll open the coffee shop at 7 a.m., and plans to close in the early afternoon, though that might change.
"I think there is a fair amount of commuter traffic from housing developments out behind Meijer that we hope to capture," said Myers. "We're also looking at all of the high-end auto dealerships on Jackson Road, and I think that's a good market. Drop your car off at the Lexus dealership and then come get a coffee."
Myers has hired three additional staff members for his expansions, and plans to pick up one or two more before the Two Wheel Tango location opens.
