DETROIT -- It was the type of finish that can make a player, and break a team. Rookie Andrew Luck continued to spread his magic Sunday, rallying the surprising Indianapolis Colts to an improbable 35-33 victory over the snake-bitten Detroit Lions. Luck threw two touchdown passes in the final 2:39, including a 14-yarder to receiver Donnie Avery on the final play. Some teams find ways to win, others dont, Colts interim coach Bruce Arians said. Ours do. And the Lions dont. It was the fourth straight loss for Detroit, the last three at home by a combined total of nine points. After winning close games to make the playoffs a year ago, the Lions (4-8) keep finding ways to lose this season. They are the only team in at least 30 years to drop three straight at home after leading each time with two minutes remaining in regulation, according to STATS LLC. This latest one could have demoralizing effects, especially coming off a four-point loss to Green Bay and a three-point defeat in overtime to Houston. This is a tough league for tough people, Detroit coach Jim Schwartz said. Well find out whos tough and whos not. Stafford added: Youve got to be mentally, physically, emotionally . . . strong. The guys that can do that will last. The guys that cant do that wont last. Luck is going to last. He didnt have his best day, from start to finish, throwing three interceptions. But he was there at the end, with a veterans savvy, when it mattered most. The kid made some plays, Stafford said. He made a big-time play when it counted, Lions defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch added of Luck. We didnt. The Lions appeared to be in control with a 33-21 lead and less than three minutes remaining, but Luck threw a 42-yard touchdown pass and then drove the Colts 75 yards in the final 1:07 to win it. The game came down to fourth down from the Lions 14-yard line with four seconds remaining. Detroit flooded the end zone with defenders. Schwartz blamed the pass rush at the end for allowing Luck to move around to buy some time. The rookie quarterback finally spotted Avery, a last-ditch option on the play, all alone at about the 9-yard line. Avery sprinted for the end zone untouched. I had no choice but to score, Avery said. Luck, who has already led five game-winning drives, said: You always hesitate throwing the ball not in the end zone. I took the calculated risk that Donnie could get there and he did. Of course, he got there. These Colts are becoming a team of destiny while their coach, Chuck Pagano, tries to battle back from leukemia. Indianapolis, 2-14 last year, appears to be headed to the playoffs in a turnaround season that no one expected. The Colts are 8-4, including 7-1 in one-possession games (eight points or less). Thats coach Pagano from Day 1 . . . telling us to keep fighting, keep fighting, keep playing, Colts receiver Reggie Wayne said. Tell us to run into a brick wall, were going to run into a brick wall. The Lions ran into a brick wall Sunday and its going to be difficult to get back up by next Sunday nights nationally televised game at Green Bay. Detroit has lost 21 straight road games to the Packers. The last-second shocker ruined another brilliant performance by receiver Calvin Johnson, who caught 13 passes for 171 yards and one touchdown. Johnson now has 1,428 receiving yards in 12 games, and trails Jerry Rices all-time NFL single-season record (1,848 in 1995) by 420 yards. Johnson needs to average at least 105.5 yards in the final four games to break the record. Calvin Johnsons always a bright spot, Schwartz said. He makes play after play for us. Maybe should have put him out there on defense the last play. Stafford might have come up with the teams slogan to sum up the 2012 season when he muttered, One play away. The Lions possessed the ball for 15 more minutes than the Colts. They had chances to turn it into a rout, but had to settle for two field goals after getting into the red zone. And they had chances to put it away at the end with one first down . . . or one defensive stop. Got to close out games, cornerback Chris Houston said. Were not closing them out. Were right there. I think we get too relaxed (with a late lead). Guys think the game is over. Youve got to keep grinding. Once our offense scores, then we give up a touchdown. We cant win like that. They found that out again Sunday, the hard way. It was two teams headed in totally opposite directions. One has a great Luck, the other nothing but bad luck right now. EXTRA POINTS Enigmatic Lions receiver Titus Young, in the doghouse for disciplinary reasons, was inactive for the second straight game. He was told by me not to come to the stadium, Schwartz said. I thought that was best for the team today. Asked whether Young has played his final game as a Lion, Schwartz said, Yet to be seen. Receiver Ryan Broyles injured his right knee in the first quarter and didnt return. It was not the same knee that required surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament a year ago. Broyles will undergo more tests Monday. Theres concern, Schwartz said. Offensive tackle Jeff Backus, who missed the first game of his 12-year career a week earlier because of a hamstring injury, returned to the starting lineup.

Six Efficient Ways to Create Backlinks to Your Blog
Courtesy of my talented guest blogger: Tracy Tay
There are many different aspects to running a successful blog. The most vital of all is getting backlinks. A backlink is a link on a web log pointing it back to the main owner's URL. These backlinks have become a point of source to getting targeted traffic and more importantly in getting popularity to the target site.
The following six efficient measures can be adopted to create backlinks to your blog:
1. Blog Commenting
One of the best possible tactics you can go about growing back links is to seek out blogs inside your niche and put quality comments and at the same time you can embed your blog URL linked with your name you use at the comment.
2. Guest Posts
Guest Posts create backlinks and you don't simply need to stay up for a website to allow you with the chance to post, rather you can offer them a unique post for their blog. The theme is that, while you write a guest post for a blog, somewhere on that post you may obtain a backlink to your blog, which again ultimately helps you in getting traffic.
Guest posts, if put on a very popular site, increases the chances of Google evaluating your Backlinks and giving your web URL a boost in terms of page rank.
3. Article Writing
Article writing is very effective in backlink creation. The main benefit of writing articles for article directories is that you can come with backlinks on your article to your website, so the more articles you post on other sites the more backlinks you will create.
4. Forums
One other wonderful means of producing backlinks is to become an energetic member within your niche communities. Generally, for every area of interest there's at the least one forum and also you can often put-up your blog URL in along with your signature when you submit on a forum. When posting threads on forums, take it for granted, the more attention-grabbing your web log remark or forum post is the more probability is that you will get attention and get individuals who will click on and reach to your site.
5. Social Bookmarking and Social Networking
Probably the very best ways one can generate backlinks is that whenever you post a new post in your blog, announce it by means of social medium. This is where social bookmarking comes into existence. That may imply submitting it to digg, or stumblupon or tweeting it on twitter. However it is very simple to publish to a social networking website too. You need to create a presence through talking constructively about your website and throwing one post after another.
Another nice and quite simple way of generating backlinks links is to make use of your RSS feed. There are a few websites which allow you to post your RSS feed to them like feedage, feedbite, feedbase and Technorati to name just a few. These websites are continuously being updated via this kind of RSS feeds method and as a result they get a lot of attention from the search engines.

|Casimir IV Jagiellon Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1440, and King of Poland from 1447, until his death. He was one of the most active Polish rulers, under whom Poland, by defeating the Teutonic Knights in the Thirteen Years' War recovered Pomerania, and the Jagiellonian dynasty became one of the leading royal houses in Europe. He was a strong opponent of aristocracy, and helped to strengthen the importance of Parliament and the Senate
|Jun 8
|Elizabeth Woodville Queen consort of England as the spouse of King Edward IV from 1464 until his death in 1483. At the time of her birth, her family was mid-ranked in the English aristocracy. Her first marriage was to a minor supporter of the House of Lancaster, Sir John Grey of Groby; he died at the Second Battle of St Albans, leaving Elizabeth a widowed mother of two sons. Her second marriage, to Edward IV, was a cause célèbre of the day, thanks to Elizabeth's great beauty and lack of great estates. Edward was only the second King of England since the Norman Conquest to have married one of his subjects, and Elizabeth was the first such consort to be crowned queen. Her marriage greatly enriched her siblings and children, but their advancement incurred the hostility of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, 'The Kingmaker', and his various alliances with the most senior figures in the increasingly-divided royal family

Varanasi, Jul 30 (UNI) The serial blasts in several regions of the country could not deter the religious faith of Kanwarias, who are continuously swelling in numbers in this holy city.
Besides, no decline was seen in numbers of tourists especially foreigners, who are the common visitors at this religious city.
The month of Shravan is considered significant and a large number of devotees from all over the world congregate here every year.
Lakhs of Kanwarias had reached the holy city and the inflow was still continuing.
Apparantly the blasts had not lowered courage of tourists as the crowd visting the city is high as ever, area tourism officer Dinesh Kumar said today.

As a Bulldog, he tied for 10th in school history with 14.5 sacks at the University of Georgia. Against Virginia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl in 2006, Johnson's two sacks and forced fumble helped fuel a big comeback win.

Calcium is very important for bone formation and its proper functioning. Studies have reported low calcium diet throughout life is associated with low bone mass and high fracture rates in joints which in advanced condition leads to development of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease of bone which causes bone to become weak and brittle and hence adequate amount of calcium in diet is very crucial in keeping bones healthy and strong. Grapefruits are good source of calcium thus helping in proper development of bone mass and structure.
Lycopene, a carotenoid phytonutrient present in grapefruit which is responsible for giving it pink and red colour also possesses antioxidant properties. However, lycopene act as a strong anti tumor agents for cancer, it has excellent capacity in fighting against free radicals caused by oxidative stress thus helping to reduce the pain and inflammation caused in arthritis.

The possibility of receiving medication in clinics rather than in hospitals would provide the chronically ill with an opportunity to continue being active on the labour market.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of Poles are diagnosed with chronic illnesses. Cancer and rheumatoid joint inflammations are increasingly common among middle-aged or even young people. Therapy takes years, treatment is very time-consuming, which makes it difficult for patients to accept early retirement. Better healthcare organization – particularly solutions which do not require hospitalization – would be a hug relief for many. These problems were the focal point of the debate entitled "Illness: can you work with it?", organized by "Rzeczpospolita". – We are raised to value work from early age. We get an education and then grow professionally. Suddenly, we learn of our illness. Access to the labour market gets complicated – said Monika Ziętek of the National Association of Youth with Connective Tissue Inflammations "3majmysię razem".
If the chronically ill want get treatment they have to visit hospitals during working hours. This means that they have to take days off and sick leave. Companies acknowledge the situation on the intersection of healthcare and the labour market. With this in mind, Employers of Poland have inaugurated the "Illness? I work with it!" campaign. It is supported by patients' organizations, who appeal for the chronically ill not to be excluded from the job market.
– If the chronically ill could work without having to go on sick leave, the costs of sickness benefits could decrease considerably. This issue has to be seen systemically. Such a solution would be beneficial for all parties – said Arkadiusz Pączka of Employers of Poland.
– We are trying to move patients from hospitals to out-patients' departments to decrease the risk of complications – stated prof. dr hab. Wiesław Jędrzejczak, hematooncologist and the Director of the Department and Clinic of Hematology. Oncology and Internal Illnesses of the Independent Public Central Clinical Hospital in Warsaw. He also emphasized that sometimes hospitalization is unavoidable as patients who have live many years with chronic illnesses often need hospital care.
Patients, employers and doctors are convinced that in order to stay active in the job market, the chronically ill need access to intravenous medication. The fact that its costs are reimbursed in many European countries proves that it helps patients remain active without additional expenses.

The City withdrew funds from Royal Bank of Scotland yesterday on concerns it isn't as profitable as some had hoped.Analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch took the red pen to the taxpayer-owned bank on fears of falling margins on mortgages, dividend anxiety in relation to capital-ratio requirements, plus the possible issues of its government-enforced bad bank, US housing claims looming and EU Libor settlements.
All these factors could mean it is a whole lot less profitable than some investors had factored in.
Merrill Lynch has gone a bit cold on most UK banks and also took Lloyds Banking Group off its Europe 1 list but retained its buy rating so its shares slipped just 0.36p to 75.66p.
Royal Bank of Scotland bore the brunt of its "less-positive" outlook. Merrill cut it to underperform with a 325p price target, from 345p – and the shares landed close to the bottom of the blue-chip index, losing 5.2p to 371.7p.
The wider market managed its third day of gains despite disappointment from the US over negotiations on its debt issues. The FTSE 100 rose 20.46 points to 6,507.65.
Alastair McCaig, a market analyst at IG, said: "The City's traders have become increasingly accustomed to delayed trains and increasingly miserable weather, and judging by the market's reaction we can also add US political indecision to the list. The move up is more impressive when you consider the lethargy of traders."
The biggest gainer of the day on the benchmark table was the chemical specialist Johnson Matthey. JP Morgan rated it a buy and predicted new customers in the US and China will create strong growth.
JP's analysts said that the US shale-gas revolution and new customers from China's petrochemical expansion will be a boon for the maker of industrial catalytic converters.
JP's Martin Evans and his team said shares are at "an inflection point" and upgraded it to overweight from neutral.
They added that Johnson has "major potential from a swathe of new global industrial" spending.
The analysts suggested new customers could lead to a 35 per cent jump in the share price, and the rest of the City appeared to agree. It was 166p better at 2,987p, and JP Morgan gave it a whopping new 4,000p price target.
Also in demand with analysts was paper and packaging specialist Mondi. The relative newcomer to the FTSE 100 added 14p to 1,066p when Credit Suisse gave it the thumbs up. Another keen riser was DIY and builders merchant group Travis Perkins, up 85p to 1,763p ahead of its trading update on Thursday. Scribblers at RBC Capital became the latest analysts to rate the stock positively because it is likely to benefit from the Government's Help to Buy scheme. RBC rated it top pick with a 1,900p price target.
Management changes announced last week at B&Q's owner Kingfisher got the thumbs-up from Credit Suisse. B&Q's chief executive Martyn Phillips will leave and Kevin O'Byrne will run B&Q in the UK. Kingfisher's chief Ian Cheshire will take on Mr O'Byrne's international responsibilities.
Analysts at Credit Suisse said the "strengthening of B&Q management team" should be "welcomed". They upped the target price to 440p as shares in Kingfisher advanced 3.6p to 373.8p. Phone companies were in vogue too – the telecoms giant Vodafone completed its takeover of Kabel Deutschland and was 1.75p better at 221.55p.
BT rang up a 5.4p gain to 353.5p as the telecoms group got a boost after an announcement that it will offer Sky movies on its TV service.
Over on the mid-tier table, Talk Talk, run by Dido Harding, added 5.1p to 256.1p amid vague bid rumours and analysts at Macquarie said it was "benefiting from its association with X Factor".
Royal Mail will begin official trading today but was up another 20p to 475p in conditional trading yesterday.
The engineer Kentz collected 3p to 506p after announcing its appointment in Qatar to the Pearl Gas-to-Liquids project – a joint venture between Qatar Petroleum and Shell.
On Aim, storage group LoknStore reported full-year profit and sales growth and packed in a 7.5p rise to 180.5p.
Oil explorer Urals Energy jumped 1.375p to 8.875p after revealing a bid approach at 12.25p a share last week.
Paragon Diamonds sparkled 0.19p brighter at 6.125p on news it has been granted a mining licence for the Lemphane Kimberlite project in Lesotho.
Buy: MARKS & SPENCER
Snap up shares in Marks & Spencer, Galvan Research suggests. The broker expects "better margins" as the high street retailer has a "strong management team" to address "markdown issues". Depite its recent issues and downgrades from other analysts this month, Galvan's researchers rate it a buy with a 505p price target for shares that are currently 475.6p.
Sell: SSE
Flog shares in SSE, JP Morgan advises. The broker is concerned the "public outcry over energy prices" may increase the likelihood of "retail price controls from 2015 and force the current Government to announce new policies to ensure bills remain affordable". It rates the energy provider as underperform with a 1,200p price target for shares that are 1,442p.
Hold: CHEMRING
Hang on to Chemring, Liberum Capital advises. The broker is concerned about the continued problems at the defence specialist. There are "risks" for the flares and bomb-detector maker and Liberum rates it a hold until management next updates the market in mid-November. It gives it a 205p target price for shares that are 211.1p.

In Unity, as in previous desktop environments, Alt-F2 brings up a Run field into which a command can be typed and executed.
A nice new feature is that as you type, programs that match the command appear below the field, from which you can select using the mouse.
Is there any way to select from those options using the keyboard?
I've tried tabbing but that doesn't seem to work.
More generally, is there a list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity somewhere?

A congressional candidate in the U.S has landed himself in a spot of embarrassing bother after he posted a screenshot of his own browser showing two porn sites on his tabs.
Major Mike Webb, an independent (but pretty conservative and religious) candidate for U.S Congress in – ironically – Virginia, forgot to close the tabs before taking a screenshot and posting it to Facebook, reports The Mirror.
In an attempt to explain the gaff, Major Webb said the 'Layla Rivera tight body' and 'Ivone sexy amateur' tabs were open as he was 'researching computer viruses' – yeah and the tiny wrap of weed your mum found belonged to a friend…
Fans of his Facebook page were quick to point out the error – but not before it received 1.6K shares, 1.9k likes and 2k comments before being deleted.
However, Major Webb seems to be putting a positive spin on things and is sure the scandal won't destabilise his campaign.
In his latest post, titled Thanks For The Tab Check, Ranger Buddies! Major Webb claimed the gaffe had increased his popularity, with his Facebook page seeing its 'likes' rise by 25 per cent and his Twitter following increase by 50 per cent.
"For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to…
Posted by Mike Webb for Congress on Monday, May 16, 2016
"Perhaps, what does not kill you does make you stronger," he claimed. I've heard it makes you go blind though…

The mother who was giving birth moaned and whined as she delivered her child, and then her afterbirth. The child was born, and the midwife held the baby carefully with a skilled arm as her assistant cleared the placenta, putting it on a platter for the mother to bury it later.
The midwife looked at the child for a moment, and screamed.
"What, what is it??" cried the mother, Deidre, half knowing that something was horribly wrong.
"It's nothing," said the midwife, trying to calm her heart. "I thought I saw… oh … it was nothing. Here is your child, girl."
Wynn, the midwife, handed Deidre the little girl, who had a tuft of black hair atop of her head, which was a bit slick from the liquid that she was born with. Deidre smiled.
"A girl… a lovely girl," she sighed. Wynn nodded and touched her crown as a show of thanks to the gods for a safe delivery.
"What shall you call her?" asked Wynn, so that she could tell the Priestess. Deidre hesitated, then smiled.
Chapter One.
Ten years passed.
They flew by like Deidre had never seen before. She and her huband were forced to move with the villagers when the famines came. Ianna had grown into a smart young girl, quick in pace and tongue. She was very in-tune with her feelings, and, as Deidre noticed, other's as well. She had a smart glow to her and was often found rambling to the plants around her about her life's experiences.
"Ia, should you speak to plants?" asked Deidre one morning. She had found Ianna laying on the ground as she spoke to a lavender bush.
"Mama, I speak with the Earth," responded Ianna. Deidre wasn't too concerned; really, she was rather pleased. Nature was a huge part of their lifestyle, so it was good that her child loved it. In fact, nature was her people's lifestyle.
"And what does the Earth tell you, Ianna?" asked Deidre. Ianna looked at her mother solemnly.
"Many secrets," she answered. "Mostly about the future. Mama, did you know that I'm a Magickal being? I am of the Earth."
Deidre chuckled. "We all are. In the gods' will, we were chosen to hold their 'magick', their life source." She smiled and continued. "Our magick is life."
"No, Mama," insisted Ianna. "I'm different!"
Deidre nodded, knowing that children imagined such peculiar things.
"What else does the Earth tell you?" she questioned. Ianna put her ear to a fern and closed her eyes, listening intently.
"The famines are travelling our way again. Also…" she listened again. "Many of us are to die. People I know." Ianna looked at the sky. "And soon."

Research Interests
Research in the laboratory concentrates on control of newborn cerebral circulation. A focus of this research is control of the newborn cerebral microvasculature during physiological and pathological situations, and the cellular mechanisms involved in such control. We investigate autocrine and paracrine communication within the neurovascular unit, with specific current focus on two novel, endogenously produced, gaseous transmitter molecules, carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). This research is important because the single most prominent cause of mortality and morbidity in newborns is hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, which often leads to lifelong disability in survivors. The neonatal brain is more susceptible to injury from insufficient or inappropriate blood flow for metabolism than that of the adult because of rapid development and proliferation of neurons and vessels, and high susceptibility to inflammation. Successes in developing approaches to avert and treat perinatal hypoxia-ischemic brain damage have been limited by insufficient understanding of the mechanisms that control perinatal cerebral circulation. The gasotransmitters, CO and H2S, are mechanisms of which greater understanding is urgently needed.

One of the many animals roaming at "Camping Zoo", Arco
We first stayed at the "Camping Zoo" (the name of this Italian campground) because it was cheaper than the main campground, which has the climbing wall and is somewhat fancier. However, the added attraction of a peacock that freely roamed the campground, usually around dinner time, proved irresistible for my son, and from then on we were committed guests here.
The peacock generally showed up as we were making dinner. I think we were among his favorite campers, as we always had salads. He had a fondness for cucumber peels and after a while he'd eat them out of our hand. It's the only campground I've seen with a semi-tame peacock that begs from campers!
On the downside, peacocks shriek really loudly at night and in the early morning so I wouldn't recommend this camp to light sleepers, like my friend David Goldstein. When David and I went to Portrero Chico, I put my tent near the covered cooking area, while he put his at the farthest end of the camp right next to the fence.

What does a Sports Broadcaster do?
Would you make a good Sports Broadcaster? Take our career test to find out how you match with this and over 800 other careers.Take Free Career Test
What is a Sports Broadcaster?
A Sports Broadcaster is a specialized type of Announcer. Also known as: Colour Commentator, Color Commentator, Play-by-Play Announcer, Sports Radio Announcer, Sports Host, Sports Announcer, Television Sports Anchor, Sports Anchor, Sports News Anchor, Game Announcer, Sports Commentator.
Table of Contents
A sports broadcaster is someone who provides coverage of sporting events using a variety of different media outlets, such as radio, television, and the internet. That being said, the actual job of a sports broadcaster can vary quite a bit. Some will specialize in one particular sport, doing commentary, while others will specialize in research, production, and the presentation of many different sporting events and competitions.
How to Become a Sports Broadcaster
What does a Sports Broadcaster do?
One of the best-known and most recognized occupations within the sports broadcasting career field is that of the game announcer or commentator. Typically, commentators work in pairs, consisting of the play-by-play announcer and the colour commentator.
Play-by-play announcers describe the play and explain what is happening to the viewers, while the game or event is in action. The colour commentator takes over during the times when the game is not in action, to share personal knowledge and game experiences. Frequently this is transitioned by the play-by-play announcer asking the commentator a question, in a sort of tag team effort to keep the viewers engaged and entertained for the entire sporting event.
This is probably the definitive sportscasting career that many people think of, and it's one of the most lucrative jobs in the field. However, this position only makes up a small percentage of people working in sports broadcasting.
Find your perfect career
Would you make a good sports broadcaster? Sokanu's free assessment reveals how compatible you are with a career across 5 dimensions!
How to become a Sports Broadcaster
Being a sports fanatic is not enough to get a position in this competitive field. The ability to present information in an exciting, interesting, and memorable way is a talent that can be polished, but can't really be manufactured.
People who have found success in theatre and public speaking seem to be better suited to this occupation. People who are comfortable in front of the camera, with an outgoing personality and a strong knowledge base for sporting events and commentary will find this field suitable, while the more reticent game fan might be more comfortable doing research and writing, working in the production end of broadcasting.
This tends to be a fast-paced career with a high-energy atmosphere. Nights and weekends are practically a given in the sports broadcasting field, and some broadcasters that specialize in a particular sport that is played during a specific time of year might find this to be a seasonal occupation as well.
There are no hard-and-fast educational requirements in the industry, but a journalism degree, specializing in broadcasting, would be a good starting point for the prospective sports broadcaster. Having a strong knowledge of sports history and a broad base of game knowledge in general are also very important, but these things alone will not make up for a lack of broadcasting knowledge. It is essential to gain experience, knowledge, and expertise in order to move up the ladder to bigger and better assignments.
What is the workplace of a Sports Broadcaster like?
It would probably not surprise you to learn that over 80% of sports broadcasters are male, but it's interesting to note that female sportscasters are narrowing that gap every year. In some events, female broadcasters are well represented; ice skating and gymnastics, which receive more coverage than in years past, are two examples of this. Other events, such as football, rugby, basketball and hockey, have stayed more true to the stereotypical male broadcaster, though newer productions such as those broadcasting on the internet or via podcast, do not hold as tightly to this business model.
The very largest sporting events, such as the Olympic games, can literally keep thousands of sports broadcasters employed for the duration of the competitions, if you consider each sporting event and ceremony will be broadcast in dozens of countries, translated, and then disseminated to local broadcasters, internet and podcasts, and other mediums.
Television networks are one of the largest employers for full-time sports broadcasters. Major television networks, as well as sport-specific channels and newer "niche" television channels that specialize in only one sport, keep a number of sports broadcasters and commentators on staff, typically on contract. Radio work is still common, though not as prevalent as it was in the past. Webcasting and other internet-based sports broadcasting opportunities are becoming more widespread, however currently these positions tend to be not as lucrative as other mediums.
The typical sports broadcaster's "office" might be the stadium press box, a television studio, the sidelines or even the locker room, interviewing players and coaches after a game.

It turned out the 'perfect dress' was the dress that Aly had gone behind my back and bought anyway at the store today. But I was glad for the heels, I had needed a new pair and these made my legs look even longer.
The dress was very complementing, emphasizing party in the front and buisness in the down low. Ben wolf whistled and clapped when he saw it. I blushed and took a bow, twirling around for mostly him. Aly was jumping up and down while clapping her hands. We all laughed and at Ben's checking you out gaze Aly complained about the level of testerone in the atmosphere; I couldn't help but agree. My face had never been so radiant with happiness.
There we were, laughing, being teenagers, having a great time, being carefree. Let's just say karma has a sense of humor, and life catches up with you really fast. Because right then and there in that perfect moment, the world crashed down on us.

The Chevrolet Corvette, C2 for 2nd Generation and also known as the Corvette Sting Ray, is the American sports car legend produced for the 1963 to 1967 model years. The radical exterior styling of this Corvette generation was very purposeful, with peaked fenders, a long nose and a short bobbed tail that Chevrolet designers bragged about as �looks most stylists would be too timid to even suggest'. Quad headlamps were hidden - mounted in rotating sections that matched the sharp-edged front end with the "eyes" closed. Coupe doors were cut into the roof, which made entry/exit easier in such a low-slung closed car. �For 1966 Chevrolet made only evolutionary changes such as the frontal appearance was mildly altered with an egg-crate grille insert to replace the previous horizontal bars, Coupe lost its roof-mounted extractor vents which had proven inefficient, back up lights were now standard, knock-off wheels were still available, headrests were now optional and the interior door pulls are bright metal. Corvettes also received an emblem in the corner of the hood for 1966. The "Big Block" Models debuted that year and came with a special bubble hood to accommodate the stronger horsepower engines and distinguished the cars from the 327's. Corvette owners who selected the new $312.85 L72 427 Turbo Jet engine option were confused by a factory recall in late �65 for an "engine modification". The application of a new air filter sticker that read "Turbo Jet 425 HP." - in place of the "Turbo Jet 450 HP" helped GM's anti-racing faction concerned the 450 horsepower in a 3,300 pound car was way over the top and it worked to calm the insurance industry. On a dyno, it would still produce the same 450 horses at 6400 RPM however with the new reading at 5600 the engine produced only 425 horsepower. The car's popularity grew with another record-busting year of 27,720 units however with only 9,958 Coupes it was the rare model once again. This 1966 Silver Pearl Corvette Coupe definitely will provide the next owner with the range of excitement as the Chevrolet advertisement proudly stated, �It's an experience: to look at, to sit in, to drive'! This 1966 Sting Ray was built at the St. Louis plant with a production date of May 19, 1966 and retailed at $4,295. �The Silver Pearl with Silver interior, as per the trim tag, is a somewhat rare combination for these Sting Rays'. The Silver Pearl paint is in good condition . This Corvette has the factory fit of the day and all the chrome shines bright. Under the hood is an L72 427/425 HP with the CE stamped showing it was a warranty replacement back in the day. Inside, the Silver Bucket Seat interior is in very good condition and provides the driver a wonderful cockpit with a full array of gauges along with the convenience of an AM/FM Radio. The undercarriage is clean, black and representative of a really good driving Corvette. The distinctive stance of the Sting Ray is unmistakable as it sits on the optional factory cast aluminum Knock-off Wheels mounted on White-Wall Firestone's. Adding to the stunning exterior look of this Corvette is the very desirable Side-Mounted Exhaust System providing the bold, unique look of the classic Corvette while delivering the impressive roar of the Big Block Horses. This '66 Sting Ray is turnkey ready to attack any style of road. A really great Corvette that is meant to be driven and is certainly ready to provide many years of thrills and enjoyment. As one Corvette advertisement was titled �The Escape Mechanism'... for sure this 1966 Silver Pearl Sting Ray Coupe with the Big Block 427/425HP can take you from your everyday world - in a hurry!

The story of Thierry Henry's handball just won't go away. Almost two weeks have elapsed since Ireland was knocked out, and the Football Association of Ireland refuses to leave without a final word. The FAI asked FIFA last week about being the 33rd nation in the World Cup next year, as a result of the unfair loss against France on November 18.
While the referee missed Henry's blatant handball, asking for an extra spot in the Cup is a bit of a stretch. There's certainly no way of knowing if Ireland would have gone on to win the game, presuming another goal wasn't scored and the game was decided by penalties.
The aftermath of Henry's actions won't go away, but the FAI can take a better approach to this — by pushing for FIFA to include extra referees or perhaps the use of video replay in future matches. To no surprise, FIFA turned down the request.
Here are some other stories for Monday afternoon:
Henry may receive punishment for handball
The never-ending story continues, with Sepp Blatter indicating that the French striker may receive punishment for his actions as part of a quest to reduce the amount of cheating prior to the World Cup.
"There is a lack of discipline and respect in the game by the players because they are cheating by playing with the hand, pulling shirts and diving. We have to fight against that," Blatter told the Guardian.
Punishment or not, simple rule changes won't easily eliminate some of the incessant problems soccer faces at both an international and club level. Blatter also referenced the possibility of removing the two-legged playoff system to determine final qualifications for the World Cup.
Premier League teams dole out £70.6 million in agent fees
It was a first in England this week as the amount paid to agents was revealed. The sum paid by Premier League clubs was a staggering £70.6 million, led by free-spending Manchester City and Chelsea, from October 2008 to September 2009..
The Citizens led all Premier League teams with a tidy £12.6 million paid out in the acquisitions of players like Emmanuel Adebayor, Carlos Tevez and Joleon Lescott. Right behind them was Chelsea at £9.5 million, followed by Liverpool and Tottenham with £6.7 million and £6.1 million respectively.
At the bottom of the heap was Burnley, in the midst of their first season in the Premier League, at just £486,000.
Stars set to snub City
In the midst of a middling Premier League season campaign, reinforcements might not be arriving for the world's richest club. Manchester City just suffered a seventh consecutive draw, and despite deep pockets may not be to bring in a massive signing because the club isn't taken seriously by the best players.
While City may not have a clear target, with the Champions League looking like a real long shot at this point, a £50 million offer for Fernando Torres was reportedly rejected over the summer. A move for a veteran star from the continent may be the best and most available option for the club watching Champions League aspirations fall by the wayside.
What do you think of Ireland asking to be included at the World Cup? Is it fair for Henry to be punished for his handball? Do agents get paid too much in the EPL? When will City get their next big name?
Share your thoughts below.
And the French were clearly offside before Henry's goal, which should render the whole thing moot. The missed hand ball is much more egregious, but no one even mentions it.
Why are players' salaries listed in pounds per week? Does Torres' 200k pound per week offer mean 10.4 million for the year? Or are there weeks in the off season he isn't paid?
You should play Football Manager. It really helps you understand how world football works. Like, for example, I know that weekly salaries are paid even when players are on holiday.
(SBI-LOL. Thanks for that, I needed a good laugh today.)
Neil - Beaverton
The only punishment that would be "just" for Henry would be to make him play for the Irish team going forward!
Ives – like to know how you feel Mr. Bladder? Hopefully you can infer my feeling on him.

From Hoxton hangouts to nifty Knightsbridge, London society is decked out in fashionable check. Rather handy for those who are, say, gearing up for a barn dance.
I found myself in that category last Saturday. I'd heard from friends about Cut A Shine's Valentine's barn dance back in February, when it was packed to the rafters with cool, fun, up-for-it singletons. They told me that spinning around energetically with strangers was a brilliant way to meet new people — and had the dates to prove it.
We'd been invited to their latest night of barn dancing mayhem at Finsbury Town Hall, Islington. Never particularly inventive with fancy dress, I was happy that all getting involved meant was donning a check shirt and jeans. What a doddle.
Joe Buirski, Cut A Shine's promoter and banjo player, introduced barn dancing at the squat parties he ran a few years ago.
"It was the perfect warm-up before the DJs," he says. "We quickly realised the barn dance was the focus and it took off from there." Soon Joe and his fiddlers were playing all over London. The barn dance became a monthly event at Finsbury Town Hall, attracting a regular cool, young crowd. It was even being hailed as "the new rave". Yes, really.
Game for a laugh, my two friends and I joined a be-checked crowd of revellers, paid our £12 entry fee and strode through the polished swing doors of the hall at 7.30pm on a warm night to witness the hoedown for ourselves.
Passing scarecrows in traditional costume and straw hair, we made it to the ornate main room. Tables covered in check sheets were dotted around the edges and there was a healthy feeling of anticipation among the 300-strong crowd. The outfits ranged from full cowboy gear to the occasional feather boa. Before long the band struck up a rousing chord and frontwoman Vic Doggart called us to the dance floor.
I joined the rush, ending up with a Dolly Parton lookalike to my left and my friend Ben on my right. I was amazed how easily everyone jumped into a big circle together.
Veterans who knew the moves were quick to help the inept (Dolly had the patience of a saint with me). "Yee-haw!" could be heard all across the room. The sense of exuberant camaraderie was mighty refreshing: jumping into a dance few of you know is a fab ice-breaker.
It dawned on me I'd turned up with a couple who, while glad to dance with me in turns, were happier dancing together. As the next dance began I tried to look nonchalant at the edge of the floor, hoping I wouldn't have to sit this one out. To my joy, a strapping young man in cowboy boots and open shirt, complete with manly chest hair, grabbed me by the hand.
"Come on!" he winked, "I need a partner for this one." It was like a Western romcom. We introduced
ourselves to another group and began a frantic team effort to "strip the willow". The final chord signalled a round of high-fives among this group of former strangers, and my new friend Andy and I went to the bar.
On the way over there, we were dragged into a group and got sucked into a frantic jig, consisting mainly of twirling on the spot with a partner. Or that's what Andy and I ended up doing as the dance went on round us. Not that anyone seemed to mind.
After all the thirsty work I found the hosts had priced all drinks at a bargain £2.50. We sat out a couple of dances, soaking up the beer and the atmosphere while Lulu And The Lampshades took over from Cut A Shine for a few numbers.
Roaring: "More dancing!" Vic was in the bar, shepherding pigtailed stragglers back to the floor without resistance. The dancing carried on with a final set from the band, then DJ Penny Metal Madtunes was on the decks until 2am, for a full house to the end.
Okay, it's a different beast to rave, but you'd be forgiven for drawing comparisons had you seen check-shirted partygoers disperse into the night sweaty, wide-eyed and jubilant.

Chapter 2. The Second Dark LordMature
After dinner in the Great hall on the students' first day back, they went to sleep and when they awoke they had Potions class, then Defense Against the Dark Arts. Potions class was none too exciting, except maybe for Dimitri who seemed to enjoy every subject. Leon hated it and thought it was a waste of time. Their potions teacher was a kindhearted professor however. What Leon and Blair were looking forward to most was Dark Arts.
"Welcome to your first Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson for the year." The professor who stood in front of the class was the exact same teacher they had last year: Professor Sithofith. He was a tall man, six-foot, a menacing stare, and deep black hair that just reached his eyes. He was otherwise a kind fellow, but you would not want to make him mad. "In this class, I shall show no mercy, and I will not be asked for mercy. You're in my classroom; you will face your greatest fears. Conjure dangerous curses and grow stronger after every single lesson."
He gave a very demanding gaze to the class and started writing on the chalkboard.
"Different types of curses" was scribbled onto the board. His hands seem to move precariously. "How do you reckon he did that to his hands?" Whispered Leon to Blair and Eruka, "Reckon he knows about Dark Arts from firsthand experience?"
"Yes, I do!" A voice dominated the silence from the front of the room. It was Sithofith's voice. He turned around and addressed Leon, "Mr. Lopez, I expect you pay great attention. You have potential, do not get me wrong; but you being here is the reason why we must cover every kind of curse. I implore you to pay extra attention."
Leon looked puzzled. "What IS he talking about?" He thought to himself. On the board there were many different categories listed on the board: Defensive, Offensive, Healing, Miscellaneous, and Illegal. Leon and Blair were both intrigued by the Illegal category. "Now!" Yelled Sithofith. "An example from each category, please!" Dimitri raised his hand. "DIMITRI! Defensive spell please." "Well, Sir, there are many different defensive spells, from disarming to blocking and self-defense." Sithofith looked a little troubled. "Just one spell, please."
"Expelliarmus." Said Dimitri. "Very great," replied Sithofith. "Expelliarmus. A defensive spell. Do you want to provide a demonstration for the class?" Dimitri hastily made his way to the front and got his wand out. He prepared himself, as if about to conjure a spell. Sithofith swiftly grabbed his wand.
"Expelliarmus!" he yelled. A quick lightning-like red bolt zipped across the room and hit Dimitri. His wand flew out of his hand and flew towards Sithofith. He threw Dimitri's wand back at him. "Good. Sit." Dimitri went back to his seat. "That was only a weak one. A full-powered Expelliarmus is enough to knock your opponent down and disarm them. But more on that later. For now," he looked up, "I need an offensive spell please. Alexis?"
Alexis rose out of her seat at once, and appeared to be thinking about what to say for a while. "Well, there is one. It's quite a common one. Stupefy?" Sithofith raised his eyebrows. "Correct! An effective and easy spell to conjure!" Alexis started walking to the front but was quickly stopped by the professor. "No. Teachers strictly forbid offensive magic on students. However, with permission and supervision, there is no rule against a student using it on another student for educational and self-defense purposes. Mr. Evans, if you will." He looked at Blair, and he rose out of his seat and walked to the front with Alexis while she prepared her wand. She flicked her wrist and yelled 'Stupefy!' and as she did, a solid beam of blue shot from her wand and struck Blair with a splash-like sound and the beam dispersed in every direction as Blair flew across the room, unconscious.
"Wow! I hope he's okay." Said Leon to Dimitri. "He'll be fine, it's simple magic." Replied Dimitri. Sithofith pointed his wand at Blair and said "Aguamenti!" and a stream of water shot from his wand and into Blair's face and awoke him. "Go sit back down. That was an example of a miscellaneous spell." He wrote Aguamenti next to Stupefy and Expelliarmus on the board.
"There are only two healing spells that we are aware of. One of them is strictly for reversing a certain curse we will be covering later on. The other healing spell is 'Episkey.' However it only heals small injuries like broken bones. Now, Leon, this is your part. Illegal curses." Leon gazed up at Sithofith. "Sir?" He questioned. Sithofith stared him down. "Oh okay," continued Leon nervously, "Well there are three—"
"Correct! Thank you! Three curses that will send you straight to Azkaban should they be used on another human. There is the Imperius Curse, or the mind-controlling curse, the Cruciatus curse, or the torture curse, and can anyone tell me the last? The most deadly of the three."
Leon's hand nervously raised into the air. "Well, th-there is 'Avada Kedavra.' "
"Thank you, 'Avada Kedavra,' the killing curse. This curse causes instant death upon its victim." Said Sithofith. "The second you say its incantation you are liable for a trip to Azkaban. This curse, however, cannot be conjured by just anybody. One needs a heart and mind strong enough. For that, one must be brave, completely certain that they are ready to kill, and you must be strong enough. I daresay none of you would pull it off if you tried it right now. I, however, wouldn't advise trying. Another thing about this curse is it cannot be blocked by any kind of protective magic, or any kind of magic, really. It will charge through anything."
Sithofith pulled out a cupboard from the corner of the room and opened it. And as it did, a werewolf had come out of it. Sithofith yelled, "Avada Kedavra!" But as his willpower wasn't strong enough, green flashes sparked from the wand as if it was failing, and a plain ball with weak green through it shot out and didn't fly very fast. It struck the werewolf and it just stumbled back into the cupboard and Professor Sithofith flicked his wand to close it again. He turned to address the class.
"Even I cannot pull off such a curse. If I could, the spell would have been solid bright-green and fly much faster, almost impossible to even attempt to block, and that wolf would have been dead before it hit the ground."
"Why do you have a bloody werewolf in there?" Said Blair as Eruka rolled her eyes. "It's a boggart, you moron." Said Eruka. "It takes shape of whatever that person fears the most."
The bell rang and Sithofith dismissed the class. Blair tried to influence Leon in the right direction when he saw him walking the opposite way. "Leave me alone, Blair. I need to go talk to Professor Mayhew." Blair reluctantly let him go. For the whole walk there, Leon couldn't help thinking of Professor Sithofith saying "you being here is the reason why we must cover every kind of curse. I implore you to pay extra attention." Why would he say such a thing? How was he different than Blair, Eruka or anybody else in that room?
Finally arriving at Mayhew's office, he knocked cautiously on the door, and it almost immediately open. Leon leapt back out of surprise; he didn't expect the door to open that quickly – he had never been in Professor Mayhew's office before. He nervously stepped into the office, except it didn't look like an office: it was a dark hallway light only by the dim candles and it was about a hundred meters long. He hallway seemed to get lighter as he got more towards the end, lit by another room he was sure was the office. As he entered this room it appeared to be an office. Mayhew had his back turned to the entrance Leon walked through while he stood at the top of the stairs that bent around the central table that seemed to be his work desk.
"Welcome, Mr. Lopez," said Mayhew without turning around, "what brings you here? You've never come to talk to me the past two years."
"Yes, Professor. Well, I'm a bit troubled about something."
"Troubled?" Questioned Mayhew, slowly turning around. He began to slowly descend the stairs.
"Yes. Troubled about something Sitho—Professor Sithofith said to me today."
"I'm sorry about that, Leon; but as crude as he can be—"
"No, sir, no. He didn't say anything crude to me. He said that we have to learn every kind of curse and spell – even illegal ones. Is there something I'm missing?"
Professor Mayhew looked a bit puzzled, but Leon had difficulty deciding whether his expression was one of confusion, shock or surprise. Perhaps all of them. "I'm sorry, I know we don't talk much, but I trust you being the headmaster."
"No, I am glad you asked me. I am just a bit surprised that you haven't heard about—Umm, would you please sit?" He motioned Leon to sit in the chair on the other side of the desk. Leon sat right before Mayhew as he resumed talking.
"Twenty years ago, there was a war taking place at Hogwarts School. You know Hogwarts?" Leon nodded. "Good. This battle brought upon the end of a long war that had been going on between a young boy named Potter. Harry Potter, and the Dark Lord, Lord Voldemort." Leon shuddered hearing the Dark Lord's name.
"I'm sorry, but you mustn't fear, for he is gone forever now." Leon let out a sigh of relief: he had obviously heard about Voldemort, like the rest of the wizarding world. "However," Mayhew continued, "Volde—The Dark Lord – accepted the possibility that he may lose that war, which he had. He needed an heir; somebody to carry on his will to destroy the world. Well, more to conquer it than destroy. Nobody knew – until recently – who this successor was, but he was only fifteen at the time, but showed great potential. And this person, is none other than the Dark Lord's very own child."
"His—His child? Him? The Dark Lord had a son?" Questioned Leon with great amazement. "Yes, yes he did." Replied Mayhew. "However, as much as he searched, he could not find Potter or his family. So out of anger, he has started attacking wizard schools. As far as I know, Hogwarts and Beauxbatons are safe, but I believe the surprise attack was the reason for our new Durmstrang students to transfer here. However, there is a great possibility he will attack this school."
Leon, looking confused, with a hundred questions on his mind, asked, "Okay, but why am I involved with this new Dark Lord? I mean, more than the other students?" Mayhew gazed at Leon. "Because you are a blood-relative to Harry Potter. You carry his blood in your veins; you harbor his power in your hands. If anybody can bring this wizard down, it will be you, and that is precisely why he wants to kill you: to ensure he does not fail Vol—The old Dark Lord, sorry."
"I know it's quite a bit to take in. But fear not, for you are safe as long as you are here with us." Said Mayhew. Leon looked at his lap feeling confused and a little scared for his own life. He slowly raised his stare back up to Mayhew. "…And what is this Dark Wizard's name?"
"Lazarus. That his the name he goes by." Leon sat in silence for about ten to fifteen seconds before the bell rang for next period. "I'm sorry, Professor. I'm glad we've had a chance to talk and that you explained it all to me, but I have to go to Transfiguration now. Bye. Let us talk again soon."
During Transfiguration while Leon sat with Blair, Alexis and Eruka trying to turn cats into pillows, he explained everything Mayhew had explained to him. When he was done, Alexis broke the short silence. "Yes, that it why Dimitri and I transferred. We fled when Lazarus had killed our headmaster. The protection isn't as good there as other schools, so we Disapparated. I actually lost a close friend during that attack. She was running towards Dimitri and I to Disapparate with us, but she was only a moment too late. She was hit with the Killing Curse. Dimitri forced us to leave."
"I am so sorry to hear that, Alexis. You must have been devastated." Said Eruka, holding Alexis's shoulder, consoling her. "When did that all go down?" Asked Leon, but Alexis didn't answer. She just stared at the cat-pillow she had just now transformed. Blair nudged Leon and motioned his head towards Alexis when he turned his head. "Oh—I'm sorry for being inconsiderate, Alexis."
"Don't apologise," she quickly said, "I'm sure you have plenty on your mind right now, you don't need to be worrying about me." Leon sat quietly for the rest of the lesson, though Blair tried feebly to cheer him up.
During their free period for the final class of the day, Leon sat in the dormitory, contemplating what he spoke about with Mayhew.
"Lazarus… What do you want with me?"

Sam: Ding Dong Bell
"They don't come off..." I whisper in amazement.
"Well, they don't look to bad though. Pretty awesome" Vee says. She sees something good in everything. I, on the other hand, never fail to see the bad things. Even if I rarely point them out.
"Yeah" I finger my wrist "I'm gonna have to get used to this" my bracelet is yellow. My favourite colour.
"Hmm..." Ria inspects her blue one. There's silence as we all do the same.
"I feel like a cat" I suddenly say. Everyone laughs.
"Why do you feel like a cat?"
"I fell into a well"
"How does that make you anything like a cat?" Ria grins.
"Haven't you heard the rhyme? Ding dong bell, pussy's in the well. Who put her in? Little Johnny Flynn. Who pulled her out? Little Tommy Stout. And I can't remember the rest"
"Oh, I see"
"We're not going to get out though" I point out, running my hand along the smooth round wall as proof.
"Maybe this is a way out" Vee points to an arch that I hadn't noticed before. There's a tunnel that leads to somewhere I can't see.
"Well, there's only one way to find out" Ria says, and she leads the way through.
