Olic struck twice to give his team a 2-0 win over Marseille and send them into the last four with a 4-0 aggregate victory.
Four-time European champions Bayern look set to meet nine-time winners Real Madrid in a mouth-watering semi-final later this month, with the Spanish club hosting APOEL Nicosia on Wednesday holding a 3-0 advantage from the first leg in Cyprus.
Olic, a surprise addition in the line-up ahead of Bundesliga top scorer Mario Gomez, has spent most of the season on the bench while the Germany international has been scoring at will, 23 times in the league and 11 times in the Champions League.
The 32-year-old Croat has repeatedly said he would be moving on at the end of the season if he did not get more playing time but Heynckes had no reason to change as long as Gomez kept scoring.
Heynckes, however, surprisingly opted to bring in Olic for their second leg against Marseille after their 2-0 win in France last week.
The striker repaid the trust with a brace reminiscent of the crucial goals he scored for Bayern in the quarter-finals and last four en route to the 2010 Champions League final.
"I am very happy for Ivica, not only because he played well but also because he scored," Heynckes said.
"He worked very hard. He is a bonus for us now. We know we play every three days and I need alternatives, players who can decide a game," said Heynckes, whose team are chasing a treble of domestic titles and the top European prize.
"To have the feeling that 'I am valuable for the team' is very important for a player," said the former Real Madrid coach.
Olic said: "It is a good feeling. I am a player with a lot of experience but I was stressed before the start.
"To play in the Champions League is always something special. I am very happy to have scored and to see the team is through to the semis."
Olic gave the hosts a flying start when he connected with a Franck Ribery pass in the 13th minute and tapped in his second after a well-timed pass from David Alaba in the 37th.
"I am really happy for Ivica. He came off the bench and straight away scored two goals. That is really important for us," said Ribery.
Bayern, booking their spot in the last four for the second time in three seasons, are desperate for a final appearance that will be hosted by Munich on May 19.
It was the end of an unexpected run for the 1993 European champions Marseille who ironically won that title in Munich and who have now lost nine of their last 10 games in all competitions.
"If we had converted those early chances it could have been different," said Marseille coach Didier Deschamps, whose team are in ninth place in Ligue 1.
"We tried to get the best out of this situation. But Bayern are deservedly in the last four. The adventure was beautiful."
"Yet it was not always logical what we did on the pitch to get to the quarter-finals," he said in reference to a string of last-gasp goals Marseille scored in previous rounds.
"I guess there is some sporting logic to this result tonight."

If we had a nickel for every collaboration we've seen between an automaker and a fashion designer, well we might actually have enough to buy one of 'em. Or at least the matching handbag. The thing is that most of them come down either to a European city car (like the Fiat 500 by Gucci or Seat Mii by Mango) or to a Ford family hauler (like the Explorer by Eddie Bauer or Mercury Villager by Nautica). But this is something altogether more creative, and more rugged.
It's a Land Rover Defender, obviously, but it's been done up by Paul Smith – a British fashion designer who just happens to have owned a number of the iconic off-roaders over the years. Working in conjunction with Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations division and its chief designer Gerry McGovern, Sir Paul had this Landie painted in 27 different colors. Sort of like a Harlequin edition VW Golf, only more so, and in more muted shades inspired by the British countryside and armed forces.
He also had the interior reworked in black leather and Maharam cloth upholstery with blue stitching and the trim replaced with a matte satin finish. There's even a smattering of Easter Eggs throughout, from the bee painted on the roof to the image of keys painted inside the glovebox. Love it or hate it, take it or leave it, there'll only be one made, and it was unveiled just the other day at the designer's flagship store in the Mayfair section of London.

This costume is absolutely adorable but the size runs extremely small. My three year old daughter wears a 2T, I ordered this in toddler (2-4) and the legs come to her calves and the sleeves are at mid-forearm. I have to return it to try a 4-6, luckily I have plenty of time for this but it looks like I'm going to have to pay to have it sent back.

May 30, 2007 |
World Environment Day was established in 1972. It is commemorated each year on the 5th June stimulating worldwide awareness of the environment.
The selected slogan for 2007 is 'Melting Ice – A Hot Topic?' in support of the International Polar Year. The Polar Regions are remote areas of the Earth that have profound significance for the Earth's climate and ultimately environments, ecosystems and human society. However we still remain remarkably ignorant of the many aspects of how polar climate operates and its interaction with polar environments.
The WED theme selected for 2007 focuses on the effects that climate change is having on polar eco systems and communities, and the ensuing consequences around the world.
The main international celebrations are being held in Norway but anyone can take part in WED. It is a day to promote understanding that communities are pivotal to changing attitudes towards environmental issues.

At the end of their long 'useful life' Nimlok products continue to be environmentally sound as they are manufactured using 80% recyclable material. Nimlok endeavours to ensure maximum recyclability of unwanted products by offering to dispose of any equipment no longer wanted by clients, as part of the original purchase contract.
Under the leadership of Joanne Tong, Nimlok has embarked on the road to formal certification under the internationally recognised environmental standard ISO14001. Full compliance and certification is on schedule for completion at the end of 2007.
Managing Director of Nimlok, Tim Perutz, is part of a working committee at the Exhibition Trade Association who have been tasked with a drafting a standard to ensure environmental sustainability and responsibility within the entire events field. This is the first time that the events industry has had an environmental standard and naturally Nimlok are working hard to set and example and with full and early compliance.
Nimlok employ 120 members of staff and approximately 90% drive into work alone despite many of the staff members living in the same town. Joanne, who is heading up the environmental project at Nimlok, has asked staff to consider car sharing or biking to work for the WED in the hope that this may continue after the event to so we can continue to help with the climate change. Nimlok are also creating awareness internally by asking all members of staff to come to work wearing a green item of clothing. Joanne Tong of Nimlok comments; "We wanted to do something as a team that was fun and that created awareness of the environmental issues we are all facing. Being dressed in green might prompt us to think more 'green' as we go about our daily tasks ".

Asserting that the judicial branch must remain independent of policies that "could control or manipulate proceedings," British Columbia's top three judges have delivered a thinly veiled rebuke to the Liberal government's justice-reform initiative.
Their comments raise questions about what impact the review can have, mere weeks after it was announced.
Last month, Premier Christy Clark and Justice Minister Shirley Bond unveiled the initiative to "modernize" the justice system, which had made headlines of late because of lengthy trial delays.
But in a five-page letter released Thursday, Chief Justice Lance Finch, Chief Justice Robert Bauman, and Chief Judge Thomas Crabtree took aim at the review and shot back at government's claim that judges are hiding behind a shield of independence.
"The public could not have confidence in the independence and impartiality of the courts if others, outside the judicial branch, could control or manipulate proceedings by interfering in any of these functions," the letter read. "A judge cannot be independent if the necessary support staff is unavailable, or is subject to the control of and accountable to others."
On Feb. 21, about two weeks after the review was announced, the Liberal government tabled its budget. Those hoping the province would find a way to toss a financial lifeline to the strained justice system were disappointed, as the budget largely maintained the status quo for the sector.
That day, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said: "I respect the fact that there's judicial independence. But you know what? The judges cannot hide behind that shield and say, 'We have no requirement to try to do things better.'"
In their letter, without naming Mr. Falcon, the judges appeared to take issue with that statement.
"It has been suggested that judges may use independence as a 'shield' against scrutiny. This is a mistaken view," the letter said. It added judges do not act out of self-interest, but "as an obligation they owe to the public who have entrusted them with decision-making power."
Speaking to reporters in Victoria on Thursday, Ms. Bond said she intends to move ahead with justice-system reform, though she reiterated that she won't trample on judicial independence.
"We should be able to have constructive dialogue," she said. "The province isn't looking at imposing anything on judges in this province but I think it is a responsible approach to talk about some of the things we may want to do."
Ms. Bond said she had not read the letter, though she previously spoke with each of the three judges.
The review is being chaired by lawyer Geoffrey Cowper, who must submit his report to government by July. The review will examine several areas, including the charge assessment process and court scheduling.
The letter did not directly identify the sticking points between judges and government, though it did mention the importance of administrative independence – meaning courts must be able to decide how to manage the litigation process and the cases judges will hear. The letter went on to state the Supreme Court of Canada has said the courts must be able to dictate the direction of registry and court staff.
Leonard Krog, the opposition NDP's justice critic, said it's a sad day when the judiciary feels so under attack that the province's judges must speak out.
"I don't think you can exaggerate the dramatic nature of this letter," he said.
The NDP has said the review doesn't fix the Liberal government's chronic underfunding of the justice system, which saw more than 100 cases tossed out of court last year because of excessive delays, while thousands more hang in peril.
Bentley Doyle, spokesman for the Trial Lawyers Association of B.C., said his organization is completely in support of judicial independence.Report Typo/Error

Having problems with your Kodak EasyShare C142 Digital Camera ?
My Kodak Camera C142 does not want to switch on, what should i do? I was takig pictures with the battary still full and it just switched off and wont turn back on. What should i do?
Answers :
If you have not used your camera for few months the problem may be due to weak/worn out batteries or corrosion on the battery contacts inside the camera which can prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the camera. Try solution before you do anything else:
Step1: Remove the batteries and wipe the camera contacts firmly with a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper).
Step2: Remove any residue that may have fallen into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of the batteries and place them back in the camera. This cleaning clears the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, your batteries may need to be replaced, or the camera may have a problem that requires professional repair.
Thank you !!

Farmers recognise waterway work 'rewards'
A report by the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) says most farmers involved in improving waterways on their properties are happy with the results.
The DSE program works with farmers to fence off waterways from stock and reintroduce native vegetation.
Senior policy officer Peter Vollebergh says farmers have acknowledged tangible benefits like fewer stock losses.
He says they have also acknowledged that the work has improved their properties.
"The other one that the farmers are actually recognising is that in a sense, even though it's not their initial primary driver, they're recognising the landscape rewards, the aesthetic rewards," he said.
"Once it's done they really appreciate that it's done and it feels right."

Sources said names of three doctors sent to the Union health ministry, but PGI yet to receive communication
Rajnish Rai, the IPS officer best known for investigation of the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case.
Sanjiv Chaturvedi was removed from his post with the ministry citing no reason for the decision.
The first intervention was in January 2008 when the President quashed the suspension order of the officer.
The BJPs Delhi unit president,Vijender Gupta,on Monday alleged that provisional certificates given to unauthorised colonies by the city government did not benefit the residents.
A number of UP cadre IPS officers on central deputation of ADG,IG,DIG and SP ranks are believed to be coming back to their home cadre after receiving a signal from the top officials in the newly-formed government.
The informants will have to provide complete details,including evidence that will be thoroughly verified by the Vigilance Division.

Evidence for solid-liquid critical points of water in carbon nanotubes
|Figure1: Hydrogen bond structures of six ices formed in the nanotubes: (a) (4,0)ice, (b) (5,0) ice and (c) filled (6,0) ice at a diameter of 1.11nm, (d) (6,0) ice, (e) filled (7,0) ice and (f) filled (8,0) ice at a diameter of 1.25nm. Top views and the corresponding side view are drawn abreast. Central water molecules forming a chain in the filled ices are colored red to distinguish them from the exterior rings.
|Kenji Mochizuki and Kenichiro Koga at Okayama University provided unambiguous evidence to support the solid-liquid critical point for a class of water in nanotubes by performing extensive molecular dynamics simulations: macroscopic solid-liquid phase separation below a critical temperature Tc, diverging heat capacity and isothermal compressibility at around Tc, and the loci of response function maxima (the Widom lines) above Tc ("Solid-liquid critical behavior of water in nanopores").
|Figure 1 shows the hydrogen bond structures of six crystals of ice formed in carbon nanotubes with diameters of 1.11 nm and 1.25 nm. The researchers found that all of the first-order phase boundaries between the ice and liquid eventually ceased to exist at the critical points, as shown in Figure 2. The T-P phase diagram is very different from that of bulk water, where ice regions are completely surrounded by the first-order phase boundaries (solid black lines).
|The researchers also gave a microscopic explanation to a simple, yet unanswered, question: how can liquid water continuously freeze to crystalline ice? They found dynamic fluctuations of microscopic domains of water and ice near the critical pointa microscopic picture of water in the course of gradual freezing or melting.
|Figure 2: Phase diagrams of (a) bulk water, (b) water confined in the nanotube of a diameter of 1.11 nm, and (c) 1.25 nm. The phase diagrams of (b) and (c) are firstly revealed in this study. Solid regions are colored in blue and critical points are indicated by red circles.
|The critical points in confined water are ubiquitous and can be found at ambient conditions by tuning the pore diameter, and therefore one of the potential applications is to use the tunable critical fluctuations in order to facilitate chemical reactions, structural changes in biological molecules, and formation of biomolecules assembly in water.

MIKE DEAN has bottled it – plain and simple.
He once sent Arsene Wenger to the stands for kicking a water bottle, but he
takes in water at the thought of reporting Fergie for his boorish behaviour
towards him and his assistants.
Dean has given carte blanche to every manager and coach in the land, from
Under-10 level to the very top, to berate match officials.
He has let down his own side. He has let football down.
Even if it is true that Fergie did not swear at the ref and his assistants, he
attacked them — in front of 75,000 people and in full view of TV cameras —
in a bullying and aggressive manner which deserved punishment.
The FA have been banging on non-stop promoting their Respect campaign this
All over their website are messages imploring those from grassroots up to
They even show a video saying there is no place for 'gobby morons' in 'the
beautiful game.'
They want to see players, managers, coaches and fans treat match officials
with courtesy and decency.
The FA should have taken the matter out of Dean's hands and charged Fergie
Are those pictures of the United boss venting his full fury at the officials
the sort of image they want to project?
If the greatest manager in English football history can behave any way he
likes and get away with it, the FA might as well scrap their efforts to
clean up the game.
The blunt truth is that the Respect campaign has lost all respect.

The question posed by Bruce Schneier is whether vulnerabilities are "sparse" or "dense". If they are sparse, then finding and fixing them will improve things. If they are "dense", then all this work put into finding/disclosing/fixing them is really doing nothing to improve things.
I propose a third option: vulns are sparse, but code is dense.
In other words, we can secure specific things, like OpenSSL and Chrome, by researching the heck out of them, finding vulns, and patching them. The vulns in those projects are sparse.
But, the amount of code out there is enormous, considering all software in the world. And it changes fast -- adding new vulns faster than our feeble efforts at disclosing/fixing them.
So measured across all software, no, the secure community hasn't found any significant amount of bugs. But when looking at critical software, like OpenSSL and Chrome, I think we've made great strides forward.
More importantly, let's ignore the actual benefits/costs of fixing bugs for the moment. What all this effort has done is teach us about the nature of vulns. Critical software is written to day in a vastly more secure manner than it was in the 1980s, 1990s, or even the 2000s. Windows, for example, is vastly more secure. Sure, others are still lagging (car makers, medical device makers), but they are quickly learning the lessons and catching up. Finding a vuln in an iPhone is hard -- so hard that hackers will earn $1 million doing it from the NSA rather than stealing your credit card info. 15 years ago, the opposite was true. The NSA didn't pay for Windows vulns because they fell out of trees, and hackers made more money from hacking your computer.
My point is this: the "are vulns sparse/dense?" puts a straight-jacket around the debate. I see it form an orthogonal point of view.

More Than Just a Sign-Off—Training for Water Landings
Training for intentional and unintentional water landings is an important part of a skydiver's learning progression and is required to receive the USPA B license. Unfortunately, most jumpers rarely give it much thought after their instructors sign them off for this skill, and few take the time to carefully consider the dangers involved.
Why Stall?
Anyone who takes a quick look at the USPA Canopy Piloting Proficiency Card (the completion of which is required to receive a B license) will notice that most of the maneuvers are of the slowflight variety. The big question jumpers always ask is, "Why do I need to perform stalls? What practical application does it offer?" Learning more about slow flight and stalls not only prepares you to land your parachute better, but also teaches you just how versatile your wing can be.

The Twelves
The music of The Twelves is based mostly in part by heavy improvising in their remixes of infectious dance songs; that being said, no two live shows would be alike. What they would have in common is the deliverance of carefully handled mash-ups blended together with live keyboards, drum machines, laptops and whatever electric instruments the duo can use to make their songs more transcendent. The duo from Rio de Janeiro have been touring extensively since 2012 with new songs, meaning more possibilities for experimentation, and for us, new music to discover and shake our asses to; If you're not afraid of dance the night away on a Sunday night, come play with The Twelves tonight at the Continental Room.

The Real Super Bowl Winner Will Be TampaRick Horrow
1. Super Bowl XLIII: Officially a Bunny Burner
Even though there's about a 20% to 25% reduction in Super Bowl events this year in Tampa Bay—even Playboy canceled its über-exclusive annual party—there will always be a significant premium attached to the Super Bowl, and regardless of greater economic conditions, the premier event's host communities will always benefit.
While some Super Bowls can have a $300 million to $400 million economic impact on a city, PricewaterhouseCoopers, in a recent study, is forecasting a financial windfall of roughly $150 million for Tampa. According to the study, hospitality and tourism activities surrounding Super Bowl XLIII will generate approximately $150 million in direct spending, nearly $45 million less than the past two events, held in Glendale, Ariz., last year and Miami in 2007. Super Bowl XXXVII, played in Tampa Bay in 2001, produced slightly more than $140 million in direct spending to the area.
The PricewaterhouseCoopers study predicts that business and personal spending cutbacks will result in fewer overall visitors and media representatives, a shorter average length-of-stay per visitor, and tightly held wallets by those who do visit the region. The study, however, does not factor in such indirect impacts as a concession company's purchase of goods from local suppliers, and an uptick in local employment.
While spending is down 20% from previous years, the ability of Tampa Bay and surrounding communities to nonetheless generate $150 million in direct spending is a testament to the economic might of the Super Bowl.
From a regional sponsorship and entertainment perspective, Super Bowl XLIII still provides an abundance of high-profile activation opportunities. Over 250 Super Bowl XLIII-related events are taking place in the Tampa Bay region, including the announcement of this year's Home Depot Neighborhood MVP program winner, designed to recognize NFL players who are making a positive impact in their local communities through charitable programs and contributions.
Celebrities, as usual, will not be in short supply. Among others, Diddy is hosting his annual "Good Life" party in St. Petersburg, while Pamela Anderson's "Athletes and Angels" party is scheduled to take place near downtown Tampa. Maxim magazine, which will have the hottest Super Bowl party stage all to itself this year in Playboy's absence, is holding its party at the Ritz Ybor club in trendy Ybor City.
Jennifer Hudson, making her first public appearance since the killings of her mother, brother, and nephew, will sing the national anthem on game day, while Bruce Springsteen is taking his turn at the game's halftime show.
As has been widely reported, for the first time this year some Super Bowl tickets come with a face value price of $1,000. About 17,000 of those club and suite section tickets have been distributed; 53,000 more with a face value of $800 have been split up between the participating teams (35%); the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5%); the other 29 NFL teams (1.2%); and 25.2% to the NFL for sponsors, business partners, charities, and the media. In response to the down economy, the NFL has also set aside 1,000 tickets with a $500 face value.
As of Sunday night, Super Bowl XLIII tickets for sale on StubHub ranged from $1,475 for a nosebleed seat to $4,995 for a club level, 25-50 yard line seat.
2. Super Bowl XLIII—The Ads
Regardless of which teams are in the championship game, the Super Bowl has always been appointment viewing for America and the world, drawing by far the single largest television audience of the year to whatever network has been fortunate enough to land the rights—NBC this year—meaning that between 80 million and 90 million Americans are tuned in to the Super Bowl at any given time, with peaks watched by 140 million or more. By contrast, last week's daytime, workweek inauguration of President Barack Obama was watched by 37.8 million viewers, spread over more than a dozen network and cable outlets.
Even in a recession economy, an audience of this size is too big for advertisers to pass up—never minding the price tag of $3 million for 60 seconds. While normal Super Bowl stalwarts General Motors (GM), FedEx (FDX), Garmin (GRMN), and Salesgenie.com are taking a pass this year, appearing will be are Denny's, the first-ever ad for a sit-down restaurant; Mars-owned Pedigree dog food, promoting pet adoption; Coke Zero, a Troy Polamalu reenactment of the timeless 1979 Coke ad starring Mean Joe Greene; and General Electric (GE), advertising via subsidiary NBC Universal for the first time since 1982.
E-Trade (ETFC) will bring back everybody's favorite talking baby; the company is also complementing its Super Bowl spot with a range of Internet promotions, including some on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. Super Bowl XLIII ads for PepsiCo's (PEP) SoBe Lifewater and DreamWorks Animation's (DWA) Monsters vs. Aliens movie will both air in pricey 3-D, causing fans to scramble for the 125 million pairs 3-D glasses being given away at grocers and other retailers nationwide. And in a period when American unemployment is at its highest in decades, online job giant Monster.com is returning to the Big Game after a four-year absence to go head to head with CareerBuilder.com to win the hearts and rÉsumÉs of America's job seekers.
And what of Amy Borkowsky, the fortysomething New York comedienne who in October announced to the world that she was collecting donations to fund a Super Bowl ad to help her find a man? Sadly, as of Monday our Amy had collected only $6,090 on superbowlsinglegirl.com—all of which will be donated to United Way come Sunday, barring a meshuga miracle.
3. Five Players Most Likely to Gain from Super Bowl Appearance
The Super Bowl is the grandest stage in all of professional sports, so with that being the case, which five players from the Cardinals and Steelers are in the best position to gain in terms of sponsorships, merchandise sales, contracts, etc.?
5. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Cardinals. He is a rookie CB from a no-name school (Tennessee State) who start in the Super Bowl for the NFC Champs. Rodgers-Cromartie's meteoric rise to stardom and NFL success is nothing short of implausible. Not only does he already have two picks in the playoffs, but his jersey has been flying off the shelves in Arizona as well.
4. Kurt Warner, QB, Cardinals. You might be asking yourself what a proven vet like Warner has to gain from playing in Super Bowl XVIII. Despite two Super Bowl appearances and one victory prior to this season, many questioned if Warner's legacy would be as the signal caller lucky enough to be surrounded by the "Greatest Show on Turf." Now, as he leads the Cardinals into the Super Bowl, he may be poised to have his bust enshrined in Canton.
3. Santonio Holmes, WR, Steelers. Holmes has made some big plays for the Steelers in this postseason, including his 67-yard punt return in the Divisional Round game against the Chargers. However, when the Steelers' star WR Hines Ward went down in the AFC Championship Game, Holmes emerged from his shadow with a crucial 65-yard touchdown reception.
2. James Harrison, LB, Steelers. Harrison came into the league as an undrafted free agent out of Kent State prior to the 2002 season. Although he was on the Steelers' 2005 Super Bowl winning squad, he did not make an impact until taking over Joey Porter's vacated position last season. Even though he won the Defensive MVP award this season, Harrison is a relatively unknown, underrated star. Super Bowl Sunday will be his chance to shine.
1. Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Cardinals. Without question, Fitzgerald is set to gain the most from his Super Bowl appearance. Going to the Cardinals as the No.3 overall pick in the 2004 Draft, Fitzgerald's skills have never been questioned. Nevertheless, after his spectacular, three-touchdown performance in the NFC Championship Game, the world has finally taken notice to his superstar ability. A lot has been made about Fitzgerald only having three major sponsorship deals (Nike, EAS, and Alltel), but with a stellar off-field reputation, he should become the face of countless products.
4. No Longer Wayne's World: Ross Completes Purchase of Dolphins
On Tuesday, my esteemed friend Stephen Ross completed his deal to become majority owner of the Miami Dolphins, assuming 95% of the franchise for $1 billion, with longtime owner Wayne Huizenga retaining a 5% stake in the team. Now managing general partner as well, Ross has been a 50% owner of the Dolphins since February, and received clearance from the NFL to purchase the additional stake in October. As such, he was able to ride shotgun for the best season the Dolphins have had in a handful of years.
Like me, Ross attended Miami Beach High School, and then went on to earn degrees at the University of Florida, the University of Michigan, and Wayne State law school. He made his fortune as founder and chairman of Related Companies, an international real estate development concern and last year was estimated to have a net worth of $4.5 billion.
Huizenga assumed ownership in 1990, when he bought 15% of the team and 50% of what was then Joe Robbie Stadium from team founder Joe Robbie's family, at a cost of $168 million. The following year, he made good on his promise to bring major league baseball to South Florida; the Florida Marlins began playing there in 1993. In 1994, Huizenga became sole owner of the Dolphins; one year ago, he announced it was time for someone else to take control.
On Huizenga's watch, the franchise signed a 10-year, $20 million naming rights deal for Joe Robbie Stadium with Pro Player, subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A) Fruit of the Loom, only to take back the rights in 2000. In 2005 the building got its current Dolphins Stadium moniker, as well as a $300 million, privately-financed face-lift that helped to land Super Bowl XLI in 2007 and XLIIII in 2010. Huizenga also signed Bill Parcells in 2007 to a four-year contract as Executive Vice-President for Football Operations; Parcells is widely expected to remain with the team at least through 2010.
5. Cubs Get a Case of the Ricketts
Karla's baseball-crazy 10-year-old son, when told that the Chicago Cubs were finally about to get a new owner, immediately asked if the team would heretofore be known as the "Chicago Ricketts." Which, in fact, would go a long way toward explaining their infirmity for the past 100 years.
While that's not terribly likely, Tribune Co. has in fact selected Incapital Holdings Founder and CEO Thomas Ricketts and his family as the "favored bidder" to own the Cubs, Wrigley Field, and a 25% stake in Comcast SportsNet Chicago, all for the sum of $900 million. The family has been cleared to begin what the Chicago Tribune terms "exclusive negotiations;" they must still reach a final agreement with Tribune, guarantee financing, and get approval by at least 23 of Major League Baseball's 30 franchise owners.
While Tribune executives had estimated that the team and other holdings would fetch a purchase price north of $1 billion, that notion was expressed months before the economy tanked. One winning aspect of the Ricketts' bid, according to insiders familiar with the terms of the deal, is that it offered more cash up front that competing bids, promising about half in equity (possibly cash) and the rest financed. The offer is the highest on record for baseball, eclipsing the $700 million John Henry and partners paid for the Boston Red Sox, Fenway Park, and a regional sports network in 2002.
The Ricketts family beat out bids from Clarion Capital Partners Managing Partner Marc Utay and Chicago real estate executive Hersch Klaff; Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban exited the bidding process before the final round.
While the Cubs aren't part of Tribune Co.'s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, the federal court overseeing the case will likely review the impending sale. The sale would likely only be held up if creditors ultimately object to the exclusion, or if the court/creditors believe Tribune could still get more than $900 million for the team and other properties.
6. MLB Salary Arbitration
MLB teams had until Tuesday, Jan. 22 to come to terms with arbitration-eligible players before figures were exchanged and the sides prepared for court. While anyone can tell you that the $18 million Ryan Howard is asking for is the third-highest arbitration request of all time, or that Dave Weathers is the longest-tenured player at arbitration this year, we crunched the numbers for the more than 40 arbitration-eligible players to see who was really asking for the largest percentage increase over his salary from last year. (For the record, Howard came in at 38 of 41, requesting a paltry 80% salary increase over his 2008 wages.)
Requested % Increase Player 2008 Salary 2009 Demand
5. 795.17% Paul Maholm, Pirates $424,500 $3,800,000
4. 862.03% Mike Jacobs, Royals $395,000 $3,800,000
3. 929.76% Ervin Santana, Angels $420,000 $4,325,000
2. 934.06% Ryan Ludwick, Cardinals $411,000 $4,250,000
1. 1,182.97% Dan Uggla, Marlins $417,000 $5,350,000
7. AFL Centralizing
After announcing in December that the league would suspend its 2009 season and overhaul its economic model, the 22-year- old Arena Football League is revisiting a common sports-league startup design: centralizing league business to reduce costs and redundancies and increase efficiency. This was the main thread of discussion when AFL owners and player representatives met last week.
While each of the league's current 16 teams will likely continue to negotiate its own player contracts if/when the league returns in 2010, the centralized AFL management would pay all salaries. The league would also consolidate sponsorship agreements, as well as merchandising sales, ticket distribution, and marketing.
Despite an average attendance of 12,957 per game in 2008, and over 25 games televised on ESPN, the AFL was losing money, hamstrung by bad leases, down corporate sponsorship no TV rights fees, since ESPN takes an equity stake instead, and too-high player salaries. The salary cap per AFL team in 2008 was $2 million—that number will drop to $1.4 million or possibly lower in 2010. To increase revenue, the current 16-game schedule will likely be expanded to 18 games, and after last week's meetings, look for a complete restructuring of the CBA.
8. The Economy's So Bad, the EPL to go Topless?
Industry analysts quoted in The Times of London are saying that EPL club Manchester United will have "no problems" finding a new jersey sponsor "willing to bid high" after United's deal with AIG expires at the end of the 2009-2010 English Premier League season. BrandRapport Arena Director Nigel Currie stated United is "global name that most big companies would want to be associated with and, in spite of the recession, there are still businesses out there with money and who want to get their names known." The bigger question, perhaps, is what major sponsor category will attempt to pull out of a big money deal next? The City, home to London's financial institutions, is being watched carefully to see whether Barclays, Lloyds, or the like decide that sport sponsorships in the current economic climate are too rich for their oh-so-blue blood.
The EPL is also attempting to protect income streams that come from media and intellectual property rights, including pub owners who show football matches via foreign satellite feeds and Web sites that pirate the feed and/or don't charge a subscription fee that will make its way back to the teams. According to the Manchester Guardian, EPL barristers have asked the Secretary of State for Culture, Media & Sport and the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform to "crack down on copyright infringement by making internet service providers responsible for the actions of their subscribers, and appoint an "IP tsar" to coordinate action across government." While the barristers quoted claim an 87% success rate with cease and desist demands sent, they also noted that the ISP owners themselves need to "take on a stronger role." In the U.S., a class action suit against YouTube "is expected to be heard" later this year.
9. EPL Fans Also Feel Pinch of the Times
Virgin's authoritative Football Fans' Inflation Index, which has tracked English football match day costs since January 2006, now shows that nearly 1 in 4 season ticket holders are considering canceling their tickets and 1 in 10 are planning to share the cost with friends in the clearest sign yet that recession fears are biting EPL football. The cost of a match day for an individual is currently at £95.60 (approximately $136); 22.6% higher than three years ago.
The most recent findings for season ticket holders:
24% are considering canceling
3% are considering giving up going to all games
21% are considering canceling and buying tickets when it suits
9% are considering sharing the cost of a season ticket with friends and family
The research was conducted among 3,887 fans and shows that while the cost squeeze is hitting all levels of the game, it is particularly acute in the Premiership. Clubs most at risk include West Ham United, Blackburn, and Newcastle United, where as many as 37% of season ticket holders are having second thoughts.
10. We're Not Sure This Passes the Sniff Test
On a related top note, purchasers of "Football Manager 2009" will get a bonus with this year's version of the wildly popular video game: a bottle of aftershave. Called "Scent of Success" the cologne combines the scents of the locker room—grass, sweat, shoe leather, and heat spray. A spokesman for the game's manufacturer, Sports Interactive, claims "Our scent will bring the dressing room into the homes of Football Manager 2009 players, inspiring them for pre-match team talks, preparing them to direct their team from the sidelines, and prime them for a tricky press conference."
Damp towels, yards and yards of used tape, and game-worn stinky socks will be offered with the "Deluxe" version of the 2009 game.

Chavez was not Stalin
The March 4 cartoon celebrating the death of Hugo Chavez by comparing him to Josef Stalin was not just repugnant, but revealed your appalling ignorance of history.
Stalin was an evil dictator responsible for the deaths of millions. Chavez was a popular, democratically elected president who never killed anybody. He may have said some nasty things about the United States, but the U.S. government did conspire with Venezuela's oligarchy and military to overthrow him in a coup in 2002.
Such destruction of democracy in Latin America has a long and sad history and, if the precedent of Chile in 1972 was followed, it would have led to the killing not just of Chavez, but of thousands of innocent Venezuelans. He was therefore entitled to some bitterness.

I walked in. As usual, no one was home. Mom was off to work. Jason was not at home, meeting friends as usual. If only he got Riley along! Just for today!
I lazed around in the house for a while. I felt too lazy today as it was a Friday. Weekends were up. But in a way I hated weekends. I would have nothing to do. Nothing at all. I called up Natalie but she wasn't at home, was out for a party. I decided to write in my diary. I filled in with all what happened, from the bad news I'd got till no one at home.
The next thing I did was sitting online on the pc. I checked my online list; no one was online, except Tyler and Rachael. I decided to chat with Rachael and obviously not with Tyler.
Sweetsixteen_Lil: Hey Rach.
Never_alone_Rachael: Hey, Lillian. What's up?
Sweetsixteen_Lil: What do you think?
Never_alone_Rachael: I'm not going to say anything. We've all tried to make you forget him but you're never ready to put in your own efforts.
Sweetsixteen_Lil: Uh, What do I say…
Never_alone_Rachael: Anyways, I don't want to fight with you. Let's not talk about him.
Sweetsixteen_Lil: Okay. What's up at your end?
Never_alone_Rachael: Nothing much.
The bell rang. I went to get it, putting Rachael on hold.
I opened the door and there he was, in his hot white shirt and his favorite jeans (his favorite jeans had 'R' printed on it). He had his damn cool guitar in hand. I stood still, staring at him. He had his million dollar smile which could light up the whole town. I couldn't say anything.
"Uhm, Lils, get out of the way." Jason said. "Oh, sorry." "Hi, Lils." Oh. My. Gawd! He called me Lils! He called me Lils! "Hey, what's up?" "Nothing much, working on my guitar. You say how are you? How's life?" "Yeah, right. My life, it sucks. I don't know why it's happening to me." "Too bad," he winked. "yeah," "Riley, we've got to catch up on our guitar." Jason shouted from upstairs. "yeah, coming. So, I'll catch you later. Bye, Lils." He patted on my right hand and went upstairs. I went numb and was about to faint! He touched me! I texted Aaron right away.
Hey. Guess what? Riley has come over and I spoke to him. How cool is that! Aaron you were right. I'm getting the Riley craze back!
He replied in a second.
I told you. So you've gotten over Tyler now atleast?
No not so soon. I still like Tyler but Whatever, Aaron. Atleast I'm happy now.
Yeah. Sure you are. Hey. Lils I've got to go. I'll talk to you later okay. Bye.
Mom dad came in a while. They saw me happy and asked me for the reason. "You and Tyler patched up?" I frowned at that. "No, mom. Can't I be happy? And I'm not going to patch up with him." I tossed the bell pepper on the table. Mom came closer and rubbed my shoulders. "Its okay, honey. It happens. You learn from your experiences. Let me tell you a story…" "Mom, I'm not in mood to listen to your story neither am I interested in spoiling my good mood." "Okay," she whispered and went to make noodles.

Gold medal winning weightlifter Richie Patterson will carry the flag for New Zealand at the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony in Glasgow.
Patterson won the 85 kilo class with a dramatic final lift.
He married fellow weightlifter Pip Hale a few days ago.
Around 150 athletes and support staff will attend the ceremony, less than half of the overall New Zealand team.
The ceremony starts at 8am, with Lulu and Kylie Minogue to perform.
