A few more U.S. national team players will be extending their trips to Europe.
Real Salt Lake's Kyle Beckerman and the Columbus Crew's Robbie Rogers have had training stints arranged with Bundesliga club Kaiserslautern by U.S. national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann, joining the growing movement of MLS players getting training experience with top-flight European clubs.
They're not the only ones getting Bundesliga experience, either.
D.C. United's Perry Kitchen, coming off a strong rookie season and an invite to the just-concluded U.S. Under-23 national team camp that was held in Duisburg, Germany, will train with SC Freiburg for the next week, sources told SBI.
While Klinsmann arranged the training periods for Beckerman and Rogers, Kitchen's was set up independently.
"In an effort to have USMNT players stay more fit during the MLS offseason, Coach Klinsmann arranged for me to train at FC Kaiserslautern for a few weeks. I'm not sure exactly how long I'll be in Germany. So far we have been treated very well and I'm looking forward to this new experience," Beckerman said in an online statement.
For Rogers, who is set to be out of contract with the Crew and has expressed a wish to return to Europe, the training period is not a trial, but it does provide him an opportunity to catch the eye of Kaiserslautern coach Marco Kurz. He confirmed the training stint on his Twitter account on Wednesday.
Beckerman, Rogers and Kitchen join New York Red Bulls forward Juan Agudelo as MLS players training in Germany for the time being. Agudelo joined VfB Stuttgart on Wednesday.
What do you think of these developments? Happy to see more and more Americans get training time overseas?
Share your thoughts below.
Klinsy the wingman.
Just wish he'd get off of Kyle Borenstein's jock… ahem i mean Beckerman!
Seriously, if JK can't see how much better Bradley is than Beckerman from the last match where they pretty much played side by side (it was just cherunderlo on that right flank offensively)then we've got a problem going forward.
I will say this. Since Beckerman has been playing we have not seen a single early goal that developed just high of the 18. That was the USMNT's calling card for awhile (that and run at Johnny B).
Yes, I wish he was a better passer and a step quicker but he's locking that down for every minute he's on the pitch and I'll give him full credit for it. I'll take a clean sheet over a pretty pass any day. Can Jones do better or Edu? Maybe, but for now he's doing what's asked of him and he's parlaying that into a stint in Europe. Good for him and good for US soccer. JFT has his work clearly set out before him. If he can tackle and hustle at the same rate that Beckerman has then I think position is his for the taking, But Bradley and Edu seem to figure in differently for JK. Besides, look how effective Junior is playing higher up the field.
If Germany doesn't work out, he can always go on tour with Counting Crows.
when they are dead, Billy. They can rest when they are dead.

your mom is a track meet.

disagree Nick. Since Beckerman has been playing we have not seen a single early goal that developed just high of the 18. That was the USMNT's calling card for awhile (that and run at Johnny B). Junior needs to be on the pitch, but not that deep. he was a terror because he had someone else tasked to be the deep DM. Are Jones and Edu better choices? maybe, but Beckerman isn't nearly as poor as people are making him out to be.
There, there.
Dominican Lou
Wow. What happened? Did Rogers knock up your sister or something?
Agree. Beckerman is the classic stay at home defensive mid, and we don't have as many as people seem to think. He is not afraid to make tackles, and he plays the ball on the ground rather than just booting it forward. It's not always perfect, but it seems fairly obvious why Klinsmann likes him. If we want someone to push forward from this position, then Beckerman's not the guy. But as a fifth defender who can tackle and pass, he's pretty solid. It's not like we're giving up lots of goals while he's back there, and he breaks up a lot of plays.
Because he is hurt…
Good Jeremy
I seem to remember a ton of top-flight players being well below their usual level at the last world cup due to exhaustion.
…I wonder if Klinsmann can get any players some training with Bayern Munich…
Too soon?
I think Beckerman has been pretty solid defensively in these friendlies. Great tactical awareness, good position and sound tacking help him make up his lack of speed.
That said I think sometimes he has a tendency to sit to close to the back four (not a terrible habit for a d-mid), however it can leave lots of space in the center of the park for opponents to exploit … i.e. the second half of the Slovenia game.
I should note that the issue I pointed out above is not could have been help out, to a large extent,if Klinsmann had made tactical changes earlier in the second half to cope with the added numbers Slovenia was dropping into the center of the park.
Landon's stint with Bayern was because of Jurgen (he was the coach).
Yea beckerman is going to distribute calmly and snub out attacks. He's done just that. Nothing sexy and that's what all the negativity is about. During Slovenia he made one bad choice when he impatiently shot from distance. He didn't have the best game but every defender was made to look silly by Slovenias young goal scorer (can't remember his name but he's very good) as he split double teams etc.
Speed is important but it's not everything. If it was Robbie Rogers might be starting.
I wonder how these training stints are going down with MLS coaches like Jason kries. On one hand he's happy to see one his best players get valuable experience in Germany. On the other hand he might be nervous about losing a player who has impressed enough to get an offer. I'm not saying offers are coming but I wouldn't be surprised if a few mls players had offers after the training period is over.
It would be cool to see Agudelo get an offer and get out of that joke of an organization in NJ.
Anyone else think Beckerman looks like a mouse, or is it just me?
We didn't score enough goals in Klinsi's first few meaningless games. He should be fired effective immediately!!11!1!1
I pretty much agree and believe that the reason he plays so close to the back four is he knows his speed limitations and does not want them exposed so he starts out deeper where he will not be called upon to retreat quickly. It is smart of him in the isolated sense that he will not show off his lack of pace so often, but not tactically smart from the point of view of helping the team keep its shape and being ready to pressure players sooner to prevent the kind of penetrating passes than can beat the back four. (Slovenia is a good team, but they had too much time to make through passes that caught our back four in tough situations, they are not that good that more immediate pressure would not have prevented some of those passes.)
Little Beckermans on the way!
Anyone who claims that a young player will never be any good is just foolish.
Wondolowski has won (or shared) the gold boot in MLS the past 2 years. While you can question his international performance, you cannot argue that he has failed to improve from age 23 to 27 (and scored more goals than any of the darlings many here promote in the process).
Nepotism at its worst…Klinsi got his son Robbie a training stint in Germany.
Fire Klinsman!
I think that you are a bit unfair to Klinsmann. He capped Fab Johnson, Williams and Shea. The did not play a single minute under BB. Klinsi also returned Buddle and Torres from the BB's doghouse. And it was Klinsmann who discovered solution to the left back problem by making Chandler a regular starter at that position. And as for his WC record, it is quite a bit more accomplished that BB's record. Klinsmann has already led his team far beyond advancing from the group stage to a third place finish in the WC, when he coached Germany. This is something that BB will probably never achieve in his coaching career. And as for Klinsmann's record with the USMNT, as I stated earlier, it is too early to judge.
I want to see him get Timmygaw to a bigger club…
they didn't exactly have the same responsibilities. While I agree Bradley is a much better player, you are off on how you are comparing them.
considering the board fired him after i believe one season, doubt he gets people there. But if the player is good enough there is no reason to doubt they could make it.
I wonder if JK & Rogers have a Penn State thing going on… Sup!
JK putting our some of our MLS players in Europe training camps is just magnificent. JK for president!
I know this is out of the question but is THERE ANY WORD ON CHARLIE DAVIS GOING BACK TO FRANCE ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I don't get it why haven't these CENTER BACKS been called PARKHURST, RYAN MILLER, CHARLES KAZLAUSKAS, AND BRAD RUSIN ALL PLAY IN EUROPE WHATS UP WITH THAT CUZ I DON'T THINK GOODSON ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH. WHAT U GUYS THINK ???
Well there you have it. Thanks.
I think Goodson has done well for the US. However, he is old enough that he is not likely to improve much more (and may be on the decline).
Parkhurst was called up for the 2007 Gold cup and played in against T&T. I don't recall his performance, but it did not overly impress Bradley or his staff and he was never recalled. He is 2 years younger than Goodson and plays in the same league. Not sure there is that much upside for him, the others: Miller is 26 and was waived by DC and now plays in Sweden for Halmstadts where has 49 appearances since 2010. Kazlauskas is 29 and a right back for Helmond Sport in the Dutch Eerdivisie (and had 124 appearances for Dutch team Ossand 73 for Helmond). I've never seen him play. Rusin is 25 and has played professionally only in the USL until this fall when he signed with newly promoted HB Koge in the Danish Superliga where he has 6 appearances.
I imagine only Rusin might have the most upside in the future since he is the youngest of the lot, Kaz is the most experienced in europe, but I am not sure any of them is really the answer for the future backline for the US.
My Inner 12 Year old. If you will quit lying about my mother I will quit telling the truth about you.
Dennis, I agree with you on Goodson. Although he played with total heart and had some good moments, he was the one player against France and Slovenia whose performances against France and Slovenia should probably exclude him from further call-ups and Klinsmann instead should start calling in guys like Gonzales, Cameron and John for tests. If you look at the game tape against Slovenia you will see that Goodson did not hold his position on the back defensive line on the first goal, allowing Matavz to break forward and catch the pass and score. Had Goodson held, as Chandler had done, then Matavz would have been offside. On the second goal, Goodson was guarding Matavz but slipped and fell to the ground, as he did on the France goal, allowing Matavz to break free and score. If Ream or Orozco would have made similar mistakes they would have been attacked mercilessly by some fans.
The collapse against Slovenia of what had previously been excellent USMNT defense was troubling. I agree with MB supporters that MB had a solid game game against Slovenia taking over the right wing spot that Danny Williams had been playing, was much, much calmer and better handling the ball than Williams. And Dempsey was much better at offensive central midfielder, the slot that Edu had been playing. But both those changes, I think, at the same time weakened the defense considerable, with several major defensive lapses already in the first half and in the second half the defense totally fell apart. We lost the second half bad. It was great to finally have some luck and hold on to the final whistle for the win, but I don't think we will ever see that starting line-up again, at least not against a better team. France would have destroyed that line-up, which, actually, shows how clever Klinsmann is for not trying it in Paris. He still has a lot of tinkering to do to find the most effective players and combinations before WCQ.
Annelid Gustator
"Had Goodson held, as Chandler had done, then Matavz would have been offside. "
Chandler had broken the line well before Goodson dropped back–the attacker closer to him could have made the exact same run with even more space.
Well thanks for the info, brad RUSIN should get a look for sure
JimJimmyJim in DC
Yeah, he was pretty solid watching the 2nd Slov goal.
but that being said, Beckerman makes solid training ground fodder.
You got it all wrong. Criticism is fuel of growth. Negative criticism of specific players doesn't mean they are "hated"(although I kind of hate Beckerman's "hair style". jesus, dude, it's soccer not hackey sac. Is it a requirement for the US to have at least 1 cartoon character on the team – Lalas, Jones,Agoos, now Beckerman?)
oh wait, where was I? oh yeah, I hate Beckerman Rogers and Bornsein. and would prefer that they never get called in to represent the US again.
no that wasn't it, oh right, uhmm Penn State.
Actually, Bob Bradley gave Shea his first cap against Colombia in September 2010. Bradley capped Shea again in January's friendly with Chile.
Beckermann should go to St. Pauli. His hair and hacky sack abilities should fit right in there.
" Klinsmann. He capped Fab Johnson, Williams and Shea. The did not play a single minute under BB. Klinsi also returned Buddle and Torres from the BB's doghouse. And it was Klinsmann who discovered solution to the left back problem by making Chandler a regular starter at that position."
Those who are heavily criticizing JK are way too early. He is just barely getting started. And most of the criticisms tell you much more about the comparative ignorance of his critics.
Nevertheless your defense of JK and attack on BB is equally ignorant and unfair.
Bradley capped Shea at least twice. JK has benefited from the fact that by the time JK got the job Shea was on fire for Dallas. So the guy to be credited is Hyndmann not JK.
Williams and Johnson were not officially eligible for the US before BB got the axe. Johnson had filed his switch and Williams had not even gotten his passport. Thanks mostly to Rongen, the dual national thing was well on its way before JK got the job though he obviously adds something to it.
BB barely had time to see Chandler at right back let alone convert him to left back. At the time Lichaj was doing fairly okay with his own conversion to LB. Lichaj has since been injured so the necessity to convert Chandler became more urgent. The idea that BB somehow was too stupid to convert Chandler to a left back is very unfair.
And as for his WC record, BB had the US players in South Africa and JK had Germany's players, at home no less. Who do you suppose is likely to have a better World Cup record?
JK was a timely hire but you needn't tear down BB in such an ignorant fashion just to elevate JK.
"If Ream or Orozco would have made similar mistakes they would have been attacked mercilessly by some fans."
The difference is Goodson has 27 caps and a pretty good track record.
He has been a pretty solid player for the most part. He is normally quite dominant in the air but it was insanely foggy and that does tend to favor the offense when it comes to an aerial attack.
Plus he is the captain of Brondby and that really means something in Europe. Everyone slips and falls at times.
What about Charlie Davis any word on him going back to sochoux ??

BeschreibungGeorge Santayana probably did more than anyone except Alexis de Tocqueville to shape the critical view of American culture. The great Spanish philosopher and writer coined the phrase "genteel tradition", introducing it to a California audience in 1911. That address appears in this collection of nine essays touching on American idealism and materialism and American endeavor, sacred and profane.
PortraitAlso the editor of Jefferson's Literary Commonplace Book, Douglas L. Wilson is Lawrence Distinguished Professor Emeritus of English at Knox College. Robert Dawidoff, a professor of history at Claremont Graduate School, is the author of "The Genteel Tradition and the Sacred Rage: High Culture vs. Democracy in Adams, James, and Santayana."

The Complexity Theory Companion

Dezember 2001
BeschreibungHere is an accessible, algorithmically oriented guide to some of the most interesting techniques of complexity theory. The book shows that simple algorithms are at the heart of complexity theory. The book is organized by technique rather than by topic. Each chapter focuses on one technique: what it is, and what results and applications it yields.
Inhaltsverzeichnis1. The Self-Reducibility Technique.- 2. The One-Way Function Technique.- 3. The Tournament Divide and Conquer Technique.- 4. The Isolation Technique.- 5. The Witness Reduction Technique.- 6. The Polynomial Interpolation Technique.- 7. The Nonsolvable Group Technique.- 8. The Random Restriction Technique.- 9. The Polynomial Technique.- A. A Rogues' Gallery of Complexity Classes.- B. A Rogues' Gallery of Reductions.- References.
PressestimmenFrom the reviews of the first edition:
"The introduction ... begins with two secrets: that algorithms are at the heart of complexity theory, and moreover that simple algorithms are at the heart of complexity theory. The main body of the book then proceeds to try and illustrate this view. ... While all the chapters primarily deal with a succession of theorems, lemmas and proofs, the surrounding text makes it fairly accessible and readable. ... The appendices are very well laid out and could probably replace a small library of textbooks." (A. Weaver, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 54, 2004)
"The book is intended for readers who seek an accessible, algorithmically oriented research-centered, up-to-date guide to several interesting techniques of computational complexity. In contrast to the organization of other books, each chapter of this book focuses on one particular technique in complexity theory. ... The book contains two appendices, the first presenting a concise overview on complexity classes, the second one on reductions. The book presents a survey on a great variety of recent interesting techniques in complexity." (Ludwig Staiger, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 993, 2002)

High speed data and lots of minutes are great things to have, but a network still needs to get the basics right, like for example actually having enough signal to make and receive phone calls. For the most part Three should have you covered in that regard, as it has some amount of coverage in most parts of the UK. But no network is perfect and there are always coverage black spots. That's where Three inTouch comes in. With the help of this you never need lose signal again. Here's everything you need to know.
Three inTouch is an app which allows you to make and receive calls and texts over Wi-Fi, which could be useful if you're somewhere with a Wi-Fi connection but no mobile signal. That might sound like something that's unlikely to often happen, but mobile signals often struggle to penetrate walls and so they can be weaker inside, which is exactly where you're likely to find Wi-Fi.
If you have weak signal at home or work then Three inTouch could solve the problem and even if you don't it's worth having, in case you ever find yourself somewhere with Wi-Fi but little to no mobile reception.
Then of course there's the London Underground. Three has given its customers access to Wi-Fi while at stations and on platforms. You're not going to get any mobile signal down there, but with inTouch you'll still be able to keep in contact with the outside world and use your phone as normal.
It's simple to use as well, with calls and texts coming out of your existing monthly price plan or pay as you go credit and using your normal Three number, so you don't pay anything extra and you don't need a separate login or password.
You can download the free app from Google Play or the Apple App Store, then connect to Three's 3G or 4G network to activate it and pick which Wi-Fi network you want to use to call and text over. Then you're good to go. Of course you need to be a Three customer to actually use it and you can only send and receive texts through the inTouch app when using the service. So although it uses your mobile number you can't use your standard SMS app. For more details on getting started, check out the video below.
InTouch is available now for Android and iOS.
Although only Three customers can use inTouch it can be used to call or text people on any network. Likewise people on any network can call or text you and it will come through on Three inTouch if you're connected to it.
Three inTouch is available for Android 4.0 devices and above and iOS 6 devices and above, however it doesn't work with the HTC One X, Huawei P2, Sony Xperia J, iPhone 3GS, Huawei Ascend P2 or dual SIM Android phones. It's also not available for the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact on Android Lollipop.
As the service works over Wi-Fi Three won't charge you for the data use, but if you have limited data allowances on your home broadband you should be aware that inTouch uses around 0.7 megabytes of data per minute.

Coriander is such a wonderful herb with a flavour all its own, and makes an excellent infusion.
The name itself – Coriandrum sativum – in fact means "flavoursome". The coriander plant is an umbellifer belonging to the family Daucaceae, originating in the east and North Africa (know in Morocco as kosbour) but also grows very well in warm, sunny parts of Europe. Its leaves are similar to and can be mistaken for parsley, but it is easily distinguishable by its taste.
The leaves are used in cooking, but also set aside some seeds as, once ground, they will bring a wonderful aroma to your dishes. In fact coriander seeds are one of the main ingredients of curry powder. Then use any spare seeds to make infusions.
Rich in silica, linoleic acid and tannins, coriander seeds also contain vitamin C. This means that they act as a tonic but are also valued for their carminative properties. In other words, they ease bloating and flatulence and aid digestion after heavy meals.
It's very simple to prepare a coriander infusion to aid digestion: take 2 to 3 grams of coriander seeds (a good pinch) and grind them in a mortar. Put them in a cup and fill it with boiling water. Then simply leave it to stand for a few minutes before drinking.

Let me begin with an apology to anyone who chances upon the accompanying photograph while eating, and pushes away the rest of their meal as a result. Alas, the deal here is that I model what I write about and, this summer, suits with shorts are supposed to be very happening.
They won't be happening with me, though. My aversion to shorts verges on the pathological, for obvious reasons. The first time my wife saw me in some, she nailed it: "You look like Charles Hawtrey in Carry On Camping." With legs like mine, trying to distract attention from the fact that you're wearing shorts by teaming them with a matching suit jacket is a waste of time: it's like trying to distract attention from the fact that you've had your head cut off by wearing a hat.
Even if I were blessed with legs like a Premiership striker's, I'd demur from this look. There's something about the combination of shorts and a tailored jacket that's just not right, however many designers insist to the contrary. As Peep Show's Robert Webb recently noted, "A blazer and shorts is shorthand that the person wearing them isn't going to be my cup of tea. It says something about public school and enthusiasm for rugby."
There are pinstripe versions of the shorts suit, too, but it's more than bitterness about my "physique" that makes me suggest you think twice about wearing them to work. For some reason, I think you'd find it much harder to get yourself taken seriously if you did. Picture this: Sir Alan Sugar does his fearsome "You're fired" routine, then stands up to reveal that the lower part of his suit stops just above the knee. Even those two sycophants sat either side of him would struggle to stifle a giggle. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I buy and stock these cables specifically for the purpose of doing RCA replacement on turntables. I use them on Technics 1200's all the time and I have nothing but happy customers because of it.

This is the best affordable cable I have found so far. The connectors are well made, metal, and fit perfectly. Being neither too tight, or lose. The cable is a good size, about 1/8" diameter per side. It is heavier than most cheap discount cables, plus it is very flexible. These cables are also directional.

'Premium' and 'high quality' do not describe this item at all. It IS flexible and fits snugly and securely. While I don't believe all the audiophile cable hype, this is more like upscale OEM patch cable -not much thicker than the cord you get with your VCR.
Smooth flawless transaction. Quality products for great prices. I compared my item to other stores before buying and was blown away by the price difference.

Jean Walker Knight, 87, of Norfolk, Va., passed away July 20, 2016.
Born October 5, 1928, in Mount Vernon, Ga., to the late Roy and Agnes Walker, Jean was the eldest of their three daughters.
She graduated from Wesleyan College in Georgia and later earned her master's degree while teaching English at LaGrange College. While pursuing her doctorate at Emory University on a teaching fellowship, she met and later married Karl F. Knight. In 1962 they settled in Norfolk, Va., when Karl joined the English faculty at Old Dominion University, and together they raised two children there.
Jean lived a gracious and compassionate life, bringing light to those around her. Her kindness, intellect and good nature continued to attract others to her even as Alzheimer's took so much from her. This remained evident to the end of her life, as she earned a special place in the hearts of many who provided such wonderful care for her at the memory care units of The Ballantine and Province Place in Norfolk.
The family would like to express its deepest gratitude to the staff of both facilities for their loving attention.
Jean was preceded in death by her sister, Ann.
She is survived by her sister, Peggy (Bobby Jo Goode) of Vidalia, Ga; her husband of 56 years, Karl; her daughter Meg (Agim Zabeli) of Norfolk Va.; her son, Charlie Knight of Richmond Va.; her grandchildren, Michael, Jennifer (Steve Scannapieco), Laura Walker Zabeli and John-Walker Knight; her great-grandson, Wesley Zabeli; and two great-grandsons who will enter the world soon.
A small visitation to celebrate her life will be from 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday, July 31, 2016, at H.D. Oliver Funeral Apartments, 1501 Colonial Ave., Norfolk, Va.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the Alzheimer's Association at www.alz.org.
Online condolences may be left at www.hdoliver.com.

Fate -- or more likely the delightful and generous Aunt Jan, who actually possessed the tickets -- guided me into section 115 of Stanford Stadium last Saturday evening to witness in person what was surely Charlie Weis' last game as coach of Noter Dayme.
It was really a thrilling game, one of the most exciting I've ever witnessed in person. Did you see it? Here's the question.
With the score tied 38-38, Stanford has a first and goal at the ND four or so with about 1:15 remaining. It is likely that Stanford is going to score, because ND couldn't stop RB Toby Gerhart all day. But: should Stanford have tried to eat up more clock?
One voluble fellow over in 116 kept yelling "Take a knee, take a knee!" He meant that Stanford's QB should just go to the ground and kill some time (I think ND was out of time outs, or maybe had one left), leaving ND as a little time on the clock as possible after the Stanford score. So in this guy's ideal world, Stanford takes a knee twice, tries for the end zone once, on 3rd down, and if they make it, great, and if they don't, kick a field goal, take the lead, leave ND maybe :20 to get down the field.
As events transpired, Stanford scored a TD on first down, left the Irish :59 to play with, and sure enough ND damn near scored. So the guy in 116 certainly had a point.
This is the next phase in clock management: score when you can, or sacrifice a down or two in the interest of running clock and risk not scoring at all? I gather that the TV announcers flagged a debate between Weis and an assistant coach about ND's role in this -- that is, should they "lay down" defensively and let Stanford score a TD on 1st down? Watching the later replay, it looked to me like ND did in fact do this, but I couldn't tell for sure.

Marie Pasteur
Marie Pasteur, née Laurent (Clermont Ferrand, France, 15 January 1826 – Paris, 28 September 1910), was the scientific assistant and co-worker of her spouse, the famous French chemist and bacteriologist Louis Pasteur.
Marie Pasteur was one of the daughters of the Rector of the Strasbourg Academy. She married in Strasbourg 29 May 1849, aged 23, to Louis Pasteur, aged 26.
Marie worked as a secretary and science writer to her spouse and served as his amanuensis. She was his active assistant in his scientific experiments. She worked with him on expanding his first researches, around 1848, on the remarks previously made by Mitscherlich on the different optical properties concerning polarized light of tartaric acid when it came from natural wines, wine lees and when it was synthesized in a laboratory. The students and colleagues of Louis Pasteur acknowledged the importance she had for him in his work as his assistant. She grew the silkworms he needed for his experiment with their diseases, and she took care of the children he tried his famous experimental treatment on. She moved with him to his quarters at the Pasteur institute, and continued to live there after his death.
It seems that for years afterward, famous crystallographer, physicist and mathematician Jean Baptiste Biot, Madame Marie Pasteur and Louis' father, Jean Joseph cooperated in providing Louis with moral support. For instance, in a letter by Biot to Louis father: "your son is ours also and we share with Marie all our love for him, too". There was also philosopher Charles Chappuis in this support network around Louis.
Their eldest daughter, Jeanne, died from typhoid fever, aged 9, at Arbois. Then, in 1865, 2-year-old Camille also died of typhus, followed by 12-and-a-half-year-old Cécile on 23 May 1866. Only Jean Baptiste and Marie Louise lived to be adults. Jean Baptiste would be a soldier in the Franco-Prussian War between France and Prussia.
Marie Pasteur was buried in the crypt of the Institute Pasteur.

Jane Eyre Casablanca Roman Holiday Waterloo Bridge Before Reading How many times the US has held modern Olympic Games? _____ 6 _____ 7 _____ 8 Section A: Movie 5.1 The UK Text A: The British Movie Industry Text B: The British Movie Stars 5.2 The US Text A: American Movie Industry Text B: Hollywood Movie Stars 5.3 Canada, Australia and New Zealand Text A: Canadian Movie Text B: Australian Movie Text C: New Zealand's Movie 5.1 The UK Text A: The British Movie Industry Text B: The British Movie Stars Text A: The British Movie Industry The UK has been influential in the movie industry since the early twentieth century. British movie had the same beginning and innovation as its counterparts in the US and Europe. It enjoyed a history of important and successful productions. However, the British movie has been challenged for its identity and the influences of American and European movies. Text A: The British Movie Industry The problem was that it did not keep up with the advances being made abroad and quickly became technically out of date. Moreover, as a movie producing country, it severely lacks government support and fund. Fortunately, the British movie industry realized this problem and took steps to solve it. Text B: British Movie Stars British movie stars are prestigious and influential in the movie industry both home and abroad. Those excellent movie stars like Olivier Laurence, Vivien Leigh and Sean Connery, Catherine Zeta Jones, Kate Winslet and Keira Knightly, had fairly successful acting career. Dazzlingly glamorous, they had captured the fancy of an adoring public. 5.2 The US Text A: American Movie Industry Text B: Hollywood Movie Stars Text A: American Movie Industry Text A: American Movie Industry Movie is an important recreation in the US; the majority of Americans are film addicts. Movie is also a culture activity, offering a mirror into American cultural and social history. With a mixture of art, business, and popular entertainment, the movie provides a host of insights into Americans' ideals and fantasies. Text A: American Movie Industry The American film industry is strikingly successful, both in its domestic market and abroad. American movies are available to the rest of the world by distribution networks worldwide, which promoted American actors and actresses. Since the early twentieth century, Hollywood, a district of Los Angeles, California, has been a major center of the American film industry. The film studios of Hollywood are the primary sources of the most commercially successful movies. Cultural Notes: Hollywood: 好莱坞是美国加利福尼亚州洛 杉矶的一个区,于1910年并入洛杉矶,长 期以来是电影和娱乐中心。 Text A: American Movie Industry For those who make the most outstanding film achievements, Oscar awards are granted, which are the most influential and prestigious film awards. The awards and gold-plated statuettes have been presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The major awards Best Picture Best Actress Best Director Best Supporting Actor Best Actor Best Supporting Actress Best Screenplay Best Actress Best Director Several classic Best Pictures of the Academy Awards Several classic Best Pictures of the Academy Awards Text B: Hollywood Movie Stars Marlon Brando brought the techniques of method acting to prominence in the films A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront. His acting style had a profound effect on a generation of actors. Text B: Hollywood Movie Stars Audrey Hepburn gained immediate prominence with her leading role in Roman Holiday, by which she won an Oscar as Best Actress. This movie is such a success that over the next decades, the film fans are still attracted by her charm. Text B: Hollywood Movie Stars Elizabeth Taylor grew from a doll-faced child starlet to one of the silver screen's most striking beauties. It is worth remembering that Taylor has received five Best Actresses nominations and two Oscar statuettes during her amazing six-decade career. Text B: Hollywood Movie Stars Meryl Streep became an actress from an early age. She became the most successful actress in Hollywood history, having gained overall 12 Oscar nominations. Text B: Hollywood Movie Stars Tom Hanks made an impressive performance of a slow half wit in Forrest Gump. Actually, the movie swept most of the major 1994 Academy Awards. After that, Hanks starred some other Academy Award winning movies, like Saving Private Ryan and Cast Away. Text B: Hollywood Movie Stars Classic Hollywood movie Top Gun and Rain Man propelled Tom Cruise's screen career to height. By the mid-90s, he has been Hollywood's most bankable star of his generation. His most impressive movies are Mission: Impossible series. Text B: Hollywood Movie Stars With the leading role in Legends of the Fall, Brad Pitt became an international matinee idol. He starred in several bankable movies like Seven, Meet Joe Black and Mr. And Mrs. Smith. Text B: Hollywood Movie Stars Angelina Jolie transferred from wild-child Hollywood youth to Academy Award winner and respected U.N. Goodwill Ambassador. Her top selling film is Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, adapted from cartoon. In 2005, during the time of playing movie Mr. And Mrs. Smith, Jolie fell in love with the hero Brat Pitt. The couple in the movie plot became a couple in real life. Text B: Hollywood Movie Stars Julia Roberts ranks as the most bankable actress during the late 1980s and early 1990s. She is at her best in romantic comedy. Roberts' greatest success is Pretty Woman, by which she won the second nomination and became a household name. In 2000, she won the Best Actress for Erin Brockovich. Text B: Hollywood Movie Stars By the excellent performance in Hollywood's debut Dead Calm, Nicole Kidman quickly gained a reputation. In 1995, Nicole showed her amazing acting in To Die For, the turning point of her screen career. Since then she has starred in Moulin Rouge, followed by an Oscar nomination. Next year, by movie Hours, she won Best Actress Award. 5.3 Canada, Australia and New Zealand Text A: Canadian Movie Text B: Australian Movie Text C: New Zealand's Movie Text A: Canadian Movie The Canadian movies have once lived in the shadow of Hollywood. During the first half of 20th century, movies shown in Canadian theatres were mostly productions of the US. Fortunately,the past decades witnessed the progress of Canada's movie industry. The native Canadian movies, especially, were booming with the support of the government. To encourage those excellent native movies, the Genies has been practiced as Canada's top film award. At the international level, the Canadian movies began to earn a reputation, participating in prestigious film festivals and winning numerous award honors. Paul Haggis' film Crash received 6 more dominations of the 78th Academy Awards and finally won the Best Picture. Other notable honors include the nomination as Best Foreign-Language Film at the 1987 Oscar as well as the many prizes awarded to Canadian films at the Cannes Festival. Cultural Notes: Best Foreign-Language Film: 奥斯卡最佳外 语片提名 The Cannes Festival: 法国戛纳电影节是世界 最大、最重要的电影节之一,最高奖为 "金棕榈奖"。 Text B: Australian Movie The Australian film has developed as an expanding industry. In the early years, Australian filmmakers showed interest in producing and exploring Australian identity movies. This category of movies was notable for their peculiarly colonial themes of convicts and bushrangers. Contemporary Australian movie is more diverse than ever, exploring Australian people and culture from a diverse range of viewpoints. Text B: Australian Movie In the 1990s, Australian directors produced internationally successful films like the Academy Awardwinning film Shine. Australia's best-loved films include Muriel's Wedding and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Text C: New Zealand's Movie In the early 1990s, New Zealand films such as Jane Campion's Academy Awardwinning film The Piano, Lee Tamahori's Once Were Warriors and Peter Jackson's Heavenly Creatures began to gain international reputation. Text C: New Zealand's Movie Peter Jackson directed the action fantasy epic film The Lord of the Rings Trilogy in New Zealand, a gripping and powerful adventure movie. It used mostly New Zealand crew and many New Zealand actors in minor parts. The movie is a huge commercially success, promoting the New Zealand film industry to height.

Text C: Sports in New Zealand Rugby union is closely linked to New Zealand's national identity. The national rugby team, the All Blacks, has the best record of any national team.

Ozone- Ogio
This reinvented classic delivers the latest technology – the kind only OGIO can produce. Still attention-grabbing with its aggressive color blocking and shocks of translucent material, today's Ozone is outfitted with a Woode Lite top, a walking-accessible water bottle holster, the Crossbow Lite shoulder strap system and 7 pockets.

The bag looks great but club dividers don't work well. Since the clubs are at an angle, they get stuck easily and are too often hard to pull out or put back in.
windmedia - 3/17/09
Right size to hold what I need and deter me from packing what I don't need.
Hydration pocket is perfect location and very useful.
Scorecard pocket holds scorebook while making it accessible.
Very durable.
Comfortable straps.
Nice club dividers.
Overall, very well designed bag and the best I have ever owned.
torrejuan - 9/22/08
Good, but wish the legs were better.
birdieXris - 7/24/08
Overall this bag is awesome. it's light. It stands well, and performs well as far as repeated moving and hefting is concerned. The iron sleeves are set up very smartly and i wish they wouldn't have patented this.... The clubs are set up so that when it's on your back, the woods are the farthest behind you leaving the irons and the "heavy" clubs right where you can reach them to stop the noise and provide more support. I feel like i can walk all day with this thing on. In fact, during a lightning warning, i ran a mile with it on my back fully loaded and barely broke into hard breathing.
The pockets are all very useful and spacious. i like that the water bottle holder is positioned so the bottle doesn't fall out when you walk with the bag, and the scorecard and pencil pocket are right where they should be.
CONS: the only things i see that they could improve on are having more club spots and having the dividers go all the way down the bag like tubes. I know it may make it a little heavier but it's so light i don't think it would be noticed and the convenience would be awesome. Also, where the back strap connects to the top of the handle is weak. i think it should be grommets holding it in, but it's just stitched on. I've already had to send one back to the MFR to have it replaced and the 2nd one is starting to come out. It's the only stress point on the whole bag that makes no sense.

But having seen the picture I doubt that's the case as it'd give much more variation. So my next guess, given it makes a point of stating how many countries the attendees cover, was that the colour depended on the country corresponding to the domain in the email address they registered with. However, I think I count 9 or 10 distinct colours and it only says 8 countries. I suppose it could still be down to the top-level domain, though I'd have thought the ..com/.net/.org split would be enough in that case to not have such a large proportion of one colour. Along the same lines, perhaps it's determined by the language used to go through the paypal pages when registering? Or, thinking a bit more technically rather than socially, perhaps it's determined by searching the mailing list archives and/or CVS logs to see how many posts/commits the person has made over the last year, and the more active they were the stronger the colour? Or maybe it's determined by the number of pages returned by a google search of the person's name plus "cocoon", as an estimation of their popularity/activity within the community? It could be done randomly, though, just to give us something to wonder about - 80% get the default colour, the remaining 20% get the next colour from some other list. But probably it's none of these, though at least now you've got a few more ideas for next year's picture ;-) The more important question, however, is why didn't Matthias want to sit next to Judith? What did she do to offend him? Andrew.

Electric-car recharge stations planned for Ontario
By John McCrank
TORONTO (Reuters) - A California company plans to build a network of stations to recharge or swap electric car batteries in Ontario, a move that could expand the market for electric cars in Canada's most populous province.
Closely held Better Place plans to build an electric recharging grid that will sell power to motorists under a subscription service, similar to the model that cellphone companies use to sell airtime.
Consumers would have the option of exchanging their depleted batteries at the company's stations or recharging them at homes, businesses or parking lots equipped with the company's "power spots."
It would take drivers less time to pull into an exchange station and swap a depleted battery for a fresh one than it would take to fill a tank with gasoline, the company said on Thursday.
Better Place would need about three years to build the network, and the company plans to open a demonstration center in Toronto in about a year to educate the public and let them test-drive electric vehicles.
Better Place has partnered with Renault and Nissan to develop electric car infrastructure.
"This is an exciting step toward building a network in Ontario," Better Place Chief Executive Shai Agassi said in an interview. "It's a road that we started with a lot of prodding from the (Ontario) government."
Ontario, home of a sprawling parts industry and several auto-assembly plants, has been hard hit by the crisis in the sector. Premier Dalton McGuinty said the province will issue a study in May that looks at ways to encourage adoption of electric vehicles, including financial incentives for consumers and government purchasing policy.

See her career highlights.Isabel Wilkinson05.29.13 4:45 AM ETSuki DhandaSuki DhandaThe 55th Venice Biennale, which kicks off this week and is open to the public from June 1 to November 24, brings together artistic talent from around the world. Representing the United States this year is the 44-year-old dynamo Sarah Sze, who debuts Triple Point, a site-specific installation that brings the neo-Palladian Delano & Aldrich building to life. Inside the building's rotunda, she has created several labyrinthine structures—including makeshift models and mobiles—which transform the space into her own, strange laboratory. Triple Point refers to the law of thermodynamics in which all three phases of a substance—gas, liquid, and solid—can exist in perfect equilibrium, and she illustrates the idea using everything from large rocks to quotidian items such as water bottles and lamps. To that effect, Sze's work is a commentary on equilibrium and the inherently fragile nature of it. From her Biennale work to Corner Plot (2006), in which she re-created an apartment in 785 Fifth Avenue visible through a tiny window in an outdoor sculpture, see highlights of Sze's career.

Friday Finds: Tequila Transformation
Tequila takes a shot at decreasing gasoline use
The Latest On: Energy Efficiency
Tequila takes a shot at decreasing gasoline use
Today, we begin with a quiz:
Which of the following should online consumers have to do to be able to evaluate the operating costs of an appliance?
(Updated 7/20)
Anyone who has seen the "Planet Earth" episode on jungles has witnessed the colorful plumes and remarkable displays of the Birds of Paradise.
But when you're hiking (read: struggling) through the dense growth of Papua New Guinea's rainforest, one of the world's largest at over 100,000 square miles and home to 38 of the 43 Bird of Paradise species, it's pretty difficult to catch a glimpse these magnificent birds.
On Monday, the House of Representatives will consider legislation authored by Rep. Joe Barton to repeal federal energy efficiency standards for light bulbs, set to take effect next year.
Climate change skeptic awash in oily money
The Department of Energy today released stronger new energy efficiency standards for central AC units, furnaces and heat pumps. The new rules adopt levels recommended by a coalition of manufacturing, consumer and environmental groups, including Earthjustice, filed with the department in 2009.
If you know the difference between the Energy Guide label and the Energy Star label, you are in better shape than many consumers, even many energy-conscious ones. (If you can explain why it makes sense to have three different federal agencies administer two separate labeling programs with names and purposes so similar that even retailers get them confused, you're a genius.)
Earthjustice is the premier nonprofit environmental law organization. We wield the power of law and the strength of partnership to protect people's health, to preserve magnificent places and wildlife, to advance clean energy, and to combat climate change. We are here because the earth needs a good lawyer.

Avanti Communications Group has appointed Patrick Willcocks to the newly-created role of general counsel.
Willcocks joins the broadband satellite company from Electronic Data Systems, where he was a senior attorney responsible for the negotiation of outsourcing contracts with UK Government and commercial organisations. Most recently he worked on an $1bn data centre outsourcing deal with Aviva.
Avanti chief executive David Williams said that as general counsel Willcocks will be responsible for negotiating, approving and monitoring the legal performance of all contracts, managing employment law issues and litigation.
Williams added: "The international complexity of our business means that we need to work harder to ensure best practice in our legal affairs, but also Patrick will make more efficient use of our legal budget."
