The Hyundai ix35 doesn't quite have the polish of the class leaders, but it's good value for money and looks the part.
The 1.6-litre petrol is punchy for a comparatively small engine, so acceleration is perfectly acceptable. By contrast, the 1.7-litre diesel is a bit flat at low revs, although it's better than the petrol when overtaking on the motorway. Performance is strong from the 2.0-litre diesel model.
Despite being designed for comfort above thrills, the ix35's ride isn't as supple as it could be: there's some jiggle over city streets and a bit too much bounce on bumpy roads. The light steering makes low-speed manoeuvres easy, but it is too vague to inspire much confidence on twisty roads. Body control could be tighter as well.
This is the ix35's weakest area. The diesel engines are noisier than many rivals' and are boomy when revved hard. Even when you're cruising in sixth gear, there's a steady drone. The petrol engine is quieter, if not exactly hushed at medium revs. Road and wind noise are also present at speed, so you may find yourself turning up the stereo uncomfortably loud to compensate.

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 210 reviews
Stayed one night to attend event at US 131 Motorsports. The front desk clerk was very nice and helpful. The hotel was satisfactory and met our needs. However, I have stayed at nicer places for a lesser price. It seemed a little over-priced.
We were celebrating our 49th wedding anniversary and decided to stay at a motel and go to the casino just south of you. Thank you for a great time.
The hotel was quiet. I didn't have time to check out the pool. I love that it is attached to a bar/restaurant. The hotel id fairly new so I was surprised to see that it could have used some paint here and there. Was had lots of towels which was awesome. Breakfast was good. Overall good. Mini fridge in room.I would stay there again.
Location was very nice and we enjoyed the resturant next door. Breakfast at the hotel was very good. I had to make a change in my reservation and was able to do so without any problems.
Easy to get to from highway. The staff was pleasant & professional. Clean and comfortable room. Continental breakfast was nothing to write home about, but it was OK.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Quote: A pro boxer didn't have the skills to put motobu in a RNC, armbar, etc... or it would have been a different story. Kata can be what you make of it,but I don't see how it could be beneficial to mma. I especially don't see how it could be more beneficial than mma training to mma. I still don't see how kata training helped Machida in any way,his fight training helped him along with his natural attributes. Nor do I see how that if he trained in 'pure' Okinawan kata that none of his fights would have went to a decision. GERK!!!

SALEM — A state task force recommended Tuesday that lawmakers open the door to limits on campaign contribution in Oregon.
The task force, convened by Oregon Secretary of State Jeanne Atkins, voted to recommend legislation in next month's session to allow limits under the Oregon Constitution.
The campaign finance committee's vote marked the first step in a long journey that, if completed, could profoundly change Oregon elections.
The 2014 GMO food labeling campaign, for example, drew nearly $30 million in contributions, mostly from out-of-state groups. A change in the Oregon Constitution could allow the Legislature to curb similar political arms races by setting a maximum amount that one person could give.
Oregon is one of six states with no contribution limits for state and local races. Voters have twice approved limits since 1994 — including Measure 47 in 2006, which created a $500 cap for statewide races and a $100 cap for lower offices. But the laws never took effect because of conflicts with the state constitution, which expressly prohibits such limits.
The task force's proposal would allow limits, set either through a bill or a ballot measure.
"It's just time to act. There's no point in waiting anymore," said Daniel Lewkow, political director for the transparency group Common Cause Oregon and a member of the task force.
The measure passed 10 to 2, with 2 others abstaining and three excused.
Rep. Vic Gilliam, R-Silverton, was among those who voted no.
"Based on what I saw, there was not enough time, not enough input and not enough agreement to do something like change the Oregon Constitution," Gilliam said.
A similar measure, Senate Joint Resolution 5, was put forth last session by then-Secretary of State Kate Brown, but it died in a Senate committee. Chances might not be much better in the 35-day session that begins Feb. 1.
"Because it's a short session, I think it's a challenge," Atkins said.
Two members of the task force — Seth Woolley, who represented the Pacific Green and Progressive parties, and Rob Harris, a leader of the Independent Party of Oregon — are also sponsoring a ballot measure to allow for campaign contribution limits.

Type: Event | Date: Tuesday, Sep 8, 2009Loosely inspired by the true story of the heavy metal band Judas Priest, this music industry fable from director Stephen Herek is based on a script by actor-turned-writer/director John Stockwell. Mark Wahlberg stars as Chris Cole, a wannabe rock star who works by day as a copy machine repairman and by night as the lead singer of Blood Pollution, a Pennsylvania tribute band that imitates the best-selling heavy metal rockers of Steel Dragon. Although he's supported by his girlfriend Emily (Jennifer Aniston), Chris is devastated when his friends kick him out of the band he founded. His humiliation doesn't last long, however, as Chris soon learns that he's been tapped to replace the lead singer of Steel Dragon, literally becoming a rock star overnight. Chris soon has everything he's ever wanted but is disappointed to discover that being a superstar isn't everything it's cracked up to be. Rock Star was produced under two other titles, "Metal God" and "So You Want to Be a Rock Star." ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

PARIS — Jean-Paul Agon, L'Oréal's newly minted chief executive officer, presided over his first corporate financial analyst meeting Thursday with a flourish. The company exceeded market expectations, when it reported a 21.9 percent spike in net profits to 1.09 billion euros, or $1.34 billion at average exchange, for the first half of this year.
The strong performance, due to cost-control efforts, added-value products and the positive impact of currency fluctuations, makes it look highly likely that the French beauty giant will hit double-digit earnings-per-share gains for 2006.
Operating profits for the company rose 19.6 percent to 1.33 billion euros, or $1.64 billion, in the period ended June 30. L'Oréal's earnings before interest and taxes margin was 17.1 percent, versus 15.6 percent in the first half of 2005.
The company's profits came on revenues that, as reported, reached 7.79 billion euros, or $9.58 billion, an 8.7 percent increase in the half. On a like-for-like basis, L'Oréal's sales rose 5.8 percent.
They were the best half-yearly revenues the company has posted since 2001.
L'Oréal's profits were announced at a financial analyst meeting held in the company's headquarters in the Paris suburb of Clichy.
The conference was banner in a couple of respects. The meeting marked the change in management that occurred earlier this year when Agon took over the helm from Lindsay Owen-Jones, who had presided as ceo for the last 22 years. He is now the company's non-executive chairman.
At the conference, Agon said, "We are happy with the upturn in sales growth." He also reiterated that half-yearly figures are not necessarily representative of full-year results.
Agon highlighted L'Oréal's sales growth in all of its markets, particularly Western Europe, where the company's consumer and luxury products had particularly strong showings.
He emphasized, as well, that a first for the company was that its cosmetics sales in the "rest of the world" zone (not including Western Europe and North America) outpaced those in North America in the most recent half. During the period, for those regions outside Europe and North America, revenues came to about 2 billion euros, or $2.46 billion, up 17.5 percent year-on-year. North America's reached 1.97 billion euros, or $2.42 billion, a 9.5 percent gain.
This story first appeared in the September 1, 2006 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Cosmetics sales for L'Oréal in Eastern Europe grew 21.9 percent and Latin America's, 16.2 percent, in the period.
In North America, L'Oréal's cosmetics revenues were stymied by changes among distributors, including the May-Federated merger that caused 80 doors to be shuttered; Alberto-Culver's sale of almost half of Sally's beauty supplies business to an investment fund managed by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, and a reduction of inventory by mass market clients such as Wal-Mart. Such shifts negatively impacted L'Oréal's product sell-in, but not its sell-through, and will not affect the mid- and long-term business of its brands, said Agon.
He continued, saying that overall, "the progression of our business in the first half is very encouraging, and our rhythm of growth of 5.8 percent [on a like-for-like basis] is very close to our midterm objective of 6 percent. Six percent would have been reached had there not been the turbulence in American distribution."
Agon said L'Oréal's cosmetics business over the second half of 2006 should be impacted — both positively and negatively — by similar phenomena to those present in the first half, and that, therefore, the company should register sales gains almost on a par with the first half's (or about 6 percent).
As for currency effects, an inverse trend is expected for the second semester versus what there was in the first. In the January-through-June period, currency fluctuations boosted L'Oréal's business by 2.4 percent. However, the weakening of the dollar and other currencies versus the euro in the second half are expected to become a negative influence on the company's overall sales, said Agon.
Yet, revenues from the recent purchase of The Body Shop, which have been consolidated into L'Oréal's accounts starting in early July, are expected to offset negative currency impacts for the second half.
Gross profits at L'Oréal were 71.5 percent of sales in the first half of 2006, up 170 basis points against the same period last year. Agon said the company's gross-profits progression will be slower in the second half, but is to remain significant and lead to substantial gross-profits growth for the entire year.
L'Oréal's EPS rose 25.2 percent to 1.76 euros, or $2.17, in the first six months of this year versus the first half of last year.
The company's research and development costs grew 5.4 percent to 254 million euros, or $312.7 million, representing 3.3 percent of revenues.
Advertising and promotion expenses increased 8.2 percent to 2.36 billion euros, or $2.91 billion, equal to 30.3 percent of sales. In the prior-year period, they represented 30.5 percent of L'Oréal's revenues.
Among the key launches for the company's professional products division in the first half were the Play Ball and Hair Mix styling lines from L'Oréal Professionnel, the Nutritive hair care collection from Kérastase and the Shimmer One hair color series from Redken.
L'Oréal's consumer products division's business was boosted in part by sales gains from Elseve hair care products and Garnier's Fructis, Nutrisse and Garnier Skin Naturals items.
Recent key launches from L'Oréal's active cosmetics division included Vichy's Normaderm Nuit skin care and Inneov Solaire sun care, among others.
For the company's luxury products division, the fragrance business was bolstered by strong sales from the likes of Hypnôse by Lancôme, Armani Code Women by Giorgio Armani and Polo Black by Ralph Lauren.
The financial community lauded L'Oréal's first-half turnout.
"L'Oréal's profits significantly exceeded expectations, due to much better operating margins," said Sandy Beebee, vice president at HSBC in New York. "The benefits from their cost-saving initiatives were boosted by very strong price-mix improvements and positive currency effects. We were also surprised that the margins were strong despite higher advertising spending than we had been forecasting. Overall, this was a very strong performance.
"Earnings growth will be slower in the second half of the year," she continued. "L'Oréal loses the benefits from currency and margin comparisons are challenging. They also plan to boost A&P spending again to support key hair care launches in Europe and the U.S. However, full-year earnings growth is still very attractive. We are confident L'Oréal will achieve double-digit EPS growth and sustain organic sales growth at close to 6 percent."
L'Oréal's stock closed up 2 percent to a unit price of 81.70 euros, or $104.63 at current exchange, on the Paris Bourse Thursday.

Inov8 Management Solutions
Inov8 is an overarching management solutions company with various specialities including Facilities Management (wow.thats-clean.co.uk), Personal Care (www.mi-care.co.uk) and the Sale and Lease of Artwork and Artistic Creations (wow.thats-smart.co.uk). We started out providing domestic cleaning services, there was clearly a need. Our customers asked about housekeeping duties, clearing away toys, emptying dishwashers, ironing clothes. So we provided a housekeeping service alongside cleaning. We started to work with landlords and tenants to provide 'Pre' and 'End of Tenancy' cleaning, we were asked to provide window cleaning too! so we rolled out a window cleaning service as well. We asked our customers if they would be interested in having their gutters cleared out twice a year, they said yes! so we rolled out cleaning and clearing or facias and guttering too. I think you get the point. We are an innovative management solutions company and see infinite potential to develop.

Payson Squadron Leaders Interviewed on KRIM Radio
Payson Composite Squadron 209 Commander 1st Lt David Barry and 2nd Lt Susan Barry were interviewed on July 28 for the Community Spotlight program on KRIM radio. For 18 minutes, they covered a wide range of topics including the history of the CAP, the three key CAP missions, what kinds of positions CAP volunteers may hold, when cadet and senior member meetings are held, the territory the squadron covers, and the 182T aircraft that the squadron is about to received — one that formerly was in service in Afghanistan. Listen to the interview here.
Book Focuses on CAP Role in WWII
As the Civil Air Patrol celebrates its 75th anniversary, a book that highlights the role CAP members played, particularly with coastal patrols, during WWII is getting some attention. Check out this links to a story and interview with author Roger Thiel about his book, "America's Homefront Air War: The Untold Facts of Armed U.S. Civilians and Their Successful Light Plane Retaliation to the Invasion of America's East Coast."
Arizona Wing Participates in Luke AFB Open House
The Luke Days Airshow on 2-3 April celebrated 75 Years of Airpower in 2016. Interestingly, the Civil Air Patrol also is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year.
There was a lot of preparation for the event by Civil Air Patrol, in part because of tighter security at the Air Force Base entrance. Maj Matt Fields served as project officer and was the primary point of contact between CAP and Luke AFB. Thirty-two seniors and 87 cadets signed up to participate in this activity from Friday to Sunday. Some of the participants camped overnight on base and had their breakfast and dinner in the Luke Dining Facility. Arizona Wing provided lunch both days at the activity headquarters.

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.
Learn More about Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
DeLonghi EC 860.M Espresso Machine - Stainless SteelThe DeLonghi EC860 Espresso Machine combines the control of a semi-automatic with the freedom of a superautomatic, all in one compact, stainless-steel machine. Unlike other entry-level espresso machines, the EC860 incorporates an automatic cappuccino system that froths your milk and pulls your shots right into your cup. Then when you're ready to upgrade to creating your own frothy drinks, the EC860's interchangeable traditional steam wand will make you feel like you're a home barista. Learn More$499.95
Ascaso Dream Up V2.0 Espresso MachineThe Ascaso Dream Up V2.0 features a three-way solenoid, adjustable pressure valve and includes an aluminum tamper. Ascaso kept the same stylish retro look that the original Dream espresso machine has long been known for and made it available in a wide array of rainbow colors. The Ascaso Dream Up is a versatile and easy-to-use espresso machine. Learn More

text: Cedar Falls Depot Deserves Support Posted on Feb 28, 2016 Here's today's Courier Column. A Cedar Falls landmark has been rescued from the wrecking ball, thank heavens. Now to get it on the National Register of Historic Places. Losing a piece of history amounts to losing a piece of ourselves. It's sad, and when preventable, it's tragic. That's why I felt so delighted when I read in last Sunday's Courier that the Cedar Falls Depot building on 5th and Main won't go the way of Waterloo's Paramount Theater or Cedar Falls' Broom Factory, or any number of landmark buildings around the region that fell to wrecking crews and lack of vision. Part of life necessitates knowing our roots. That would be personal roots, family roots, and community roots. Outside of the Black Hawk Hotel, the Regent Theater, and the Ice House, no community building says "Cedar Falls roots" like the Depot. Built in 1871, it was the hub of rail traffic in Cedar Falls, the site of Presidential whistle-stops--Roosevelt and Taft spoke there in 1903 and 1911. As a tyke, I saw Harry Truman roll through town, stopping at the Depot to speak from the back of the train. I remember a huge crowd gathered for his whistle-stop. Well before that, someone constructed a tunnel underneath the Depot that ran underground across the street. People have wondered whether it was a stop on the Underground railroad. Probably not, since the Civil War ended six years before it was built. Maybe a hide-out for bootleggers? A secret gathering place for hobos, gamblers, and lovers? An escape tunnel for criminals on the run, hopping off one of the 36 trains that ran through Cedar Falls in the late 19th century? We might someday discover all this, thanks to its continuing existence. To me, the Depot represented the heart of Cedar Falls for years—1972 to 1986, to be exact. Then it was a fine restaurant, a meeting place, a live music venue. "It was 'Cheers' before there was 'Cheers'" as owner Shirley Merner put it. I met friends, interviewed UNI faculty candidates, celebrated all manner of events, and performed there as a duo with Robert James Waller and as a solo act later. Bless their hearts, Shirley and Bill Merner were among the few restaurateurs who supported live music as well as offering seriously good food and stocking a great bar. Everybody loved the Depot. I used to pooh-pooh history classes in high school. Then I grew up. Over the years I've gotten shivers at Fort Sumter and Gettysburg, tears at the American graveyard above Omaha Beach, amazement on the Galapagos islands, gazing at the same strange creatures that Darwin studied 150 years earlier. History is alive when you know it, and the Depot sits deep in local history. Thanks to Dan Fencl, who bought the Depot with plans to restore and renovate it, and to Friends of Historic Cedar Falls for supporting local history and the Depot. Had the Depot been sold and torn down, I would have called it criminal. Incidentally, I was unpleasantly surprised to learn that the Depot is not on the National Register of Historic Places, though Waterloo's Chicago Great Western Railroad Freight Depot is. If anyone wants to get our Cedar Falls Depot into that National Register, count me in. Go comment! Intimacy and Balance Both Needed Posted on Feb 21, 2016 Here is my Valentine's Day column, published last Sunday in the Courier. Pondering what makes a relationship last and work--balance and intimacy, both. Now in the middle of winter weariness and political nastiness, we could all use a pause. Time to reflect on hearts and flowers, romance and soul-mated-ness That's Valentine's Day. Who needs politics when you have love? Actually, love and politics overlap. They both require candidates, they both involve necessary support from family and friends, they both sometimes end in heartbreak. There the similarity ends. Nothing in politics goes as deep or lasts as long or requires as much energy and attention as romantic love. Presidents are remembered for love partners almost as much as their politics. Think Mary Todd and Abe, Eleanor and Franklin, Bess and Harry, Mamie and Ike, Jackie and Jack, Rosalyn and Jimmie. Oh yes, Hillary and Bill. Those powerful partnerships were formed well before their political successes and lasted well after. Politics amount to the little leagues of human activity compared to love. Romantic love, being the source of our deepest happiness and most long-lasting pleasures, deserves the constant attention it gets. What to say about love in this era of fear and loathing? Two words: intimacy and balance. Lasting love brings both intimacy and balance, which contribute mightily to successful bonding. My last marriage—in both senses—is now going on two decades. We've been up and down, out and around, endured losses of parents, siblings, close friends and colleagues. We've grieved long and hard together. Through upheavals we've depended on our intimacy to regain perspective and return to life as we know it. The hardest part? Accepting each other's obsessions, neuroses, scars, carbuncles, warts—clusters of imperfections that make us who we are. We've learned to accept, not fix. At first I was annoyed by imperfections, then realized I wasn't going to change hers, nor she mine. Now I accept them as inevitable and endearing. Along with intimacy goes balance, of necessity. Without an intimate partner, people start taking their beliefs and themselves far too seriously. Partners provide a sounding board for foolish notions that throw you off kilter. As Gandhi said, "Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny." And your destiny, if it's true to who you are, requires balance all the way. One example out of dozens: Every time I fly, I convince myself that this time I'm going down. I visualize the boom, the drop, the terrible fear ending in darkness. I'm potentially a mess. I've learned to blurt this fear out loud, and she just smiles, rubs my shoulder and says, "It's real but not true." That reminder, which doesn't work when I say it to myself, sets me straight. Multiply that dozens of times for other fears and obsessions, and you have a more balanced, less fearful man. I do the same for her. Without each other to offer trusted advice and support when we slip out of balance, we'd fall all over ourselves. Close friends do the same, by the way, but they're rare. So Happy Valentine's Day to long-term couples who've discovered intimacy with balance, and balance with intimacy. It's worth celebrating today—and every day. Go comment!

Completely renewed a few years ago it's now a very good and modern airport. Near the city center (just 5 minutes by car). It's a small airport but it's probably the better choice to come to Sardinia. Depending on winds you can have a fantastic view over the famous sardinian beaches from your airplane window. In the summer sometimes you may find crowds at security checks. There are just a few overpriced shops but this is common in italian airports. Car rentals taxis and bus are easy available. Recommendedno na Cagliari Airport customer review Lorenzo Pasquini 27th January 2006 New nice and clean. This is the way I found this airport services are quite good even if restaurants bars and services in general could be improved. But this is a recent airport and the overall experience has been positive maybe in the future it will earn some more "stars". Recommendedno na Cagliari Airport customer review Federico Muscogiuri 25th April 2005 Clean and efficient I was very impressed with Elmas airport. Staff are friendly and the airport is very well connected to the city centre by bus. The fare is only 0.67 €. Only one negative point once you're past the international departures hall there are no shops only one small cafe' near gate 23 otherwise this is one of the best regional airports I have visited so far.

Manchester City were dealt a cruel blow in their race for the race on Sunday.
The Blues were the victims of a poor refereeing decision that cost Manuel Pellegrini's side the chance to close the gap on the Premier League leaders Leicester after Mark Clattenburg awarded a harsh penalty against Raheem Sterling.
Clattenburg made the decision to punish the winger for a handball despite Sterling turning his back on the ball.
The result means City are now six points off the leaders after Harry Kane scored the resulting penalty and Christian Eriksen bagged a second after Kelechi Iheanacho's equaliser.
While there was a mixed response to the Blues' performance, everyone agreed who the villain was in Sunday's fixure.

citypundit said:
A shocking decision by Clattenberk but why did the team only start to play anything like, after that decision? The players have to look at themselves after this one. Understood the decision to swap Fernando for Kelechi but why take Clichy off and put on Kolarov who we all know can't defend.
Sergio also had a day when his touch deserted him but at least he kept going until the end. To balance things up I have to say that Spurs hardly troubled Hart all afternoon and got any 50/50 that the officials gave. It really irritates me when I hear the media band on about how good Spurs are, especially when in both games this season bad decisions by officials turned the game in Spurs favour. Has someone at City kicked a black cat?
Glad to see Clattenburg applied a far stricter version of the offside rule than he did at White Hart Lane and a new version of handball too.— Simon Curtis (@bifana_bifana) February 14, 2016
RDSpain said:
The Clattenberg decision was poor no doubt. City were slow, again. Spurs worked really hard to close the midfield down. Sergio got no service. City only really broke sweat once they were losing. They had to commit men forward and got caught on the break. All very predictable this season. Don't move the ball quick enough. Don't close down enough. Don't work hard enough.

The reff robbed us a goal but to be honest we didn't look like posing a real threat. Our midfield was YET AGAIN too slow. It's becoming a recurring theme now with this side.
Still in the race?

Innovation, growth and economic development: have the conditions for catch-up changed?
This paper shows that there have been important changes in how the global economic system works. A high growth regime has gradually been substituted by one of low growth. This change appears to be especially pronounced for small economies. Until the end of the 1980s, the scope for technological imitation was a significant factor in generating growth in low-income countries but this did not extend to the 1990s. The results reported in this paper suggest that, during the 1990s, whether low-income countries managed to catch up or fall behind depended mainly on their ability to develop their 'innovation system'.

Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini has made the shock announcement that he feels the four-month ban from all forms of football given to Luis Suarez is "excessive" after the Uruguayan was found guilty of biting the centre-back.
Chiellini posted a statement on his official website in which he claimed the ban – which also includes a nine-match ban for Uruguay and a 100,000 Swiss Franc fine (around £66,000) – brings him no happiness and he is sad to see Suarez's World Cup end prematurely.
"Now inside me there's no feelings of joy, revenge or anger against Suarez for an incident that happened on the pitch and that's done," said Chiellini. "There only remain the anger and the disappointment about the match.
"At the moment my only thought is for Luis and his family, because they will face a very difficult period.

10/10 Hannibal Lecter
Suarez's nickname when his played in the Netherlands was 'The Cannibal' after all...
"I have always considered unequivocal the disciplinary interventions by the competent bodies, but at the same time I believe that the proposed formula is excessive. I sincerely hope that he will be allowed, at least, to stay close to his team mates during the games because such a ban is really alienating for a player."
Chiellini's surprising show of support for the man that bit him comes after Fifa announced that they had to act on Suarez's latest controversy, having bitten opponents twice in the past.
"Such behaviour cannot be tolerated on any football pitch, and in particular not at a FIFA World Cup when the eyes of millions of people are on the stars on the field. The Disciplinary Committee took into account all the factors of the case and the degree of Mr Suarez's guilt in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Code. The decision comes into force as soon it is communicated," said Claudio Sulser, chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.
The Italian joins the clamours of support for Suarez, following comments from the Uruguayan President, World Cup legend Diego Maradona and his own grandmother in defending the banned Liverpool player.
Maradona is reported to have said: "Why? Who is killed? This is football, this is friction - why not send him to Guantanamo?" The Argentinian also wore a T-shirt with the wording "Luisito Estamos Con Vos" emblazoned across the front, which translates to "Little Luis we are with you".
Suarez's grandmother, Lila Piriz Da Rosa, said that Suarez had been chucked out of the World Cup "like a dog", and blasted the tournament organisers for their 'barbaric' treatment of her grandson.
"Everyone knows what they've done to Luis. They wanted him out of the World Cup. Perfect, they did it. They chucked him out of there like a dog," Piriz told Reuters while she sobbed in an interview in Suarez's birth-town of Salto in north-west Uruguay.
"This was on purpose. They had their eyes on him to see what he does. It's barbaric what they've done to him.
"I'm his granny and I love my boy loads."
The Uruguayan federation (AUF) has already announced that they will appeal the ban, with the unanimous belief in Suarez's homeland that he has not done anything wrong..
"We are preparing our appeal now, we have three days to do it," said president Wilmar Valdez.
"It's an extremely excessive punishment, there was not enough evidence and I have seen more aggressive incidents recently.
"It's feels like Uruguay has been thrown out of the World Cup. We all know what Suarez means to Uruguay and to football around the world - not having Suarez would be a loss to any team."Reuse content

The Gingerbread House Antiques and Gifts: Antiques, Gifts and Estate Pieces
The Gingerbread House was filled with all sorts of antiques and gift items, but what caught my eye were the collector dolls, which were placed in interesting vignettes throughout the store. I moved from one beautiful doll to another, drooling over their lacey satin gowns and fancy feathered hats; their delicately painted faces and graceful poses.
When I was a little girl I had many dolls. My all-time favorite birthday gift was a dark-haired doll who came with a shiny red trunk full of colorful doll clothes. I never had a porcelain doll, as far as I can remember. Perhaps there is still a little girl in me who sighs over this pretty plaything.
Store hours are Wed.-Sat. 11am-5pn; Sun. 12noon-5pm.

Midsummer Books: Books And More Books...
As we browsed through the shops on and around Strand Street, I was hoping to find a copy of The Christmas Carol to take to the Dickens Feast that evening. I wanted to get it autographed by Marc Charles Dickens.
After wandering a few blocks, I was overjoyed to find Midsummer Books. When I mentioned the purpose for the book, the owner led me to a shelf containing several different copies of The Christmas Carol. We picked through a pile of children's books of that title and as I was trying to decide which version to purchase, he appeared from the back storage room carrying a book with the most wonderful cover--and it was the least expensive of the lot!
That evening at the Dickens Feast, not only did I have a copy of The Christmas Carol to be signed by the author's great-great-grandson, it would become a keepsake for my husband and I, because we asked him to place our three grandchildren's names in the front cover along with his signature.

Tina's: A Divine Shop
I'm hardpressed to place TINA'S in a particular category because the shop offered so many different items. The wide front windows gave a preview of what was inside and they drew me ever so quickly inside!
It was December, so the shop was shimmering with lovely Christmas ornaments. After much thought, I finally selected several delicate glass icicle ornaments in soft rose and green.
Yet Tina's offered more than that...scented bath and body lotions lined the shelves; candles came in all hues, shapes and sizes; jewelry sparkled in the display cases; long racks of women's clothing hung towards the rear of the store. Tina's was overflowing with many pretty things!
I would not hesitate to pay a return visit!

The square has lots of great shops and galleries. There is a lovely stairway which will take you to the second floor as well as an antique elevator The Strand Soda Fountain is a step back in time. The Mardi-Gras Museum is also in Old Galveston Square.

The Grand
Many of its mansions, have been restored and house antique shops, boutiques, restaurants, galleries and pubs. We had a lovely chat with the manager of Big Dog Sportswear On the Strand. Between her and her friend (who had just popped into congratulate her on her promotion) we got a great run down on Galveston and what to do and see there. It gave us a huge advantage in our short time there to be able to do as much as possible.

Americans spend billions of dollars each year on everything from appliances to motorcycles to yo-yos. We shop in brick-and mortar stores and online. Truly, consumer purchases never stop; they take place 24/7 and around the globe. It's not uncommon, then, for things to go wrong sometimes.
The item you bought may not work as promised, or you may be overcharged or a charged for an item you never even bought. Federal and state consumer protection laws exist to give protection against many forms of fraud and unfair business practices. Know the key laws, agencies that enforce them and how they can help you.
The Federal Trade Commission
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the main federal agency enforcing consumer protection laws. The FTC uses what it calls "industry guides" and trade regulations to define what "unfair or deceptive" trade practices are.
The FTC enforces most federal consumer laws, including the:
- Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) - outlines the steps you need to take to correct mistakes or errors on your credit report
- Truth in Lending Act (TILA) - credit card companies can't bill you more than $50 per card for unauthorized charges made to those cards
- Fair Credit Billing Act - sets out how to fix billing errors on your credit card accounts, including fraudulent charges
- Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) - bars debt collectors from using unfair and deceptive practices to collect overdue bills
- Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act - requires manufacturers and sellers to explain warranty coverage, terms and exclusions
- Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act of 1998 (ITADA) - created services for education on identity theft and filing complaints on identity theft
- Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act (CARD Act) - limits fees and penalties charged by credit card companies, as well as when they may increase interest rates and by how much
The FTC enforces these laws though administrative proceedings, lawsuits or its rulemaking power. Often, the FTC takes action after consumers file complaints about particular products, services or businesses.
Learn More
The FTC provides many tools and resources to help you learn about and protect your consumer rights.
State Enforcement
State laws also protect consumers. All states have common law (judge-made law) giving protection against fraudulent business practices. To prove common law fraud, usually you have to show that:
- The person doing business with you made a false statement of "material fact" (a fact important to your decision to go through with the transaction)
- The person making the statement knew or believed the statement was false
- You relied on the false statement and you suffered damages
For example, an antique dealer tells you that a statue is a valuable ancient Greek artifact. However, the dealer knows the statue is really a new knock-off. It's fraud if you buy it based on the dealer's statement.
State Laws
In many states, the common law has been compiled into state consumer protection laws. Your state attorney general may enforce these laws, or your state may have a separate consumer protection agency. Many state laws are very similar to the federal consumer protection laws.
Some states also have business-specific laws for select industries. These laws cover businesses like:
- Mobile home sales
- Vehicle repairs and sales
- Travel agencies
- Storage of household goods
- Health club contracts
Outside Help
Private, volunteer groups, such as the Better Business Bureau (BBB), also take consumer complaints and investigate abusive business practices. These groups can encourage businesses to abide by consumer protection laws and help settle consumer disputes.
Individual Enforcement
In many instances, consumer protection laws give you enforcement power by allowing you to file a private lawsuit. There's force behind this power because it's often possible to recover attorney's fees if you win your case. Many laws also permit a judge to award triple the amount you actually lost, encouraging the exercise of your consumer rights even when your actual loss may be low.
Being a smart consumer means more than shopping for the best prices and quality goods and services. It also includes knowing your rights and what you can do when something goes wrong. Protect your rights and your wallet, and if you can't solve the problem yourself, don't hesitate to ask for help from a consumer law lawyer who can guide you in pursuing the best legal solution for your problem.
Questions for Your Attorney
- Could my consumer complaint be the basis of a class action lawsuit?
- Can I file a lawsuit and an FTC complaint regarding my consumer issue?
- Can I choose whether to seek relief under federal or state law?

as a small business owner bb@t raised our interest rate last week from 3.25% up to 4.75% thanks uncle sam keep helping small business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You must have financed your business via a home equity line of credit. Banks are now increasing the credit line rates and decreasing the amount of credit available at the same time. Folks that have maximized his or her entire line are at risk of getting in trouble due to their line being reduced. Banks are justifying/assuming your home is worth less than when you applied. My guess is most all banks are no longer offering home equity lines at all.
I'd call and raise hell!!!!! I do wish you and your small business a success!
If you find 4.75% objectionable then get credt cheaper at another bank (if you can) whiner.
In!!! are you at it again? I can only wish upon you the same. Keep up the slumming and all that is and will be, could only return to you.
C has raised rates twice, BAC once, and just announced a huge increase on June 1st, for their remaining customers many of whom will have their accts closed. This could be a heart breaker for numbie
Have you given any thought to the cost of funds of banks these days and the risk? The reason your rate was raised was to compensate for this.
I would say the increase has been fueled mostly by the increase in FDIC insurance premiums. The doubling of coverage has cost the banking industry a 5 fold increase in annual charges.
to all that posted to my message, we run a lumber company have a 3 million dollar mill and all equipment to operate it, we only have a 300 thousand line of credit of which we only owe 150 thousand. we have no other debt on anything, as far as personal I have app. 1.5 million total worth. to the response of the person saying whiner, the banks are getting our tax money of which bbt tarp money was app. 3.50 billion,and the money suppose to help business!
Did you not read noc message? If he says they are then I believe him. What reason would he have to bull@#$%^& .
How about the same reason the idiots thought they could afford mortgages on which they are now defaulting? Delusional beliefs in financial wherewithal is fairly common which why I would want to see financials before declaring some one/thing in good shape.
A 4.75% interest rate is extremely reasonable. When I was in business, I paid anywhere from 6% to 15% and thought I had a great deal. You are completely spoiled. I would be upset with BB&T if I knew they were giving out 3.25% loans. To tell you the truth, I am not completely satisfied with 4.75%. If a businessman can't make money on a 6% loan, my suggestion for that person is to go find an honest job.
Maybe you should not have gotten a variable rate loan?
first of all thanks for the response of all who chosen to do so. I do wish each and every one of you could understand exactly my thoughts of business and how much I think this country needs manufacturing. One exception would be the likes of "The Axmen" which is being made for a dramatic TV show, OSHA would have a field day with. To the person wanting a safe bank for his/her deposit all banks are FDIC secured, even BBT would be safe for deposits even though in essence they are insolvent! remember the app. 3.5 billion trap which can not be payed back now. our bussiness would not be running now if we was to have done like most all knowing banks,thank you sir!
as for the responders who did not understand we have a credit line of which we are only using part of,no other payments no other obligations, never in our long run in bussiness have we ever forgone or been late on a payment,almost a lifetime (40 yrs.)app.
A whiner No we have been though our rough times, 7 out of 10 mills have shut down in a 40 mile radius sense 9/11 (one of the remaining three just burnt completely) As with ALL business a little help would not have hurt, oh but wait now that all bussiness are failing some are getting a golden spoon! we just want a fair shake and believe in free interprize,Lets just let the market do what needs to be done ( how many of the responders jobs would be gone or will be ) I know we can not let this happen!
thank again noct.

Finally put my leftover cake scraps to good use. Three different flavors, Double Chocolate, Chocolate Hazlenut, and Chocolate Strawberry. Gave these to the various people who have been referring me to do cakes. Got to keep them happy! TFL
