With two victories in his first two games, and the nation adopting modest expectations for his team at Euro 2012, Roy Hodgson might have thought that he had safely navigated the rockiest period of his first few weeks as England manager. But when Gary Cahill withdrew from the squad yesterday to be replaced by Liverpool's defender Martin Kelly, the most divisive fissure in the group re-opened again.
That is the line that separates Rio Ferdinand from John Terry over the latter's case for allegedly racially abusing Ferdinand's brother Anton and it has the potential to cast a long shadow over this England squad. The decision to ignore Ferdinand's claim on a place in a squad that has already lost the experience of Frank Lampard and Gareth Barry shifted that issue into centre-stage once again.
Yesterday, Kelly was on a flight back from New York where he has been on holiday since he left the England squad a week ago, having been part of the group that travelled to Norway where he played two minutes of the game. Kelly is the innocent party in this but his single cap for England and only 12 league appearances for Liverpool last season contrasts starkly to Ferdinand's 81 caps over 15 years.
Ferdinand is an uncomfortable subject for Hodgson. At his press conference to introduce his squad on 16 May he said that "football reasons" were behind the player not being selected. Hodgson picked seven defenders – which later became eight when Phil Jagielka replaced Barry – and said he took Phil Jones ahead of Ferdinand for his versatility. "I decided on my three centre-backs and Rio wasn't one of them," he said at the time. "There's no point in continuing that discussion. I admire Rio Ferdinand, I respect Rio Ferdinand. But, as a football coach, you have to make decisions sometimes."
It was thin at best but it was just about enough of a foundation for the England manager to bat away the questions asking if Ferdinand's absence was connected to the Terry case. "I can't insult your intelligence and say I wasn't aware of the situation," he said. "Everyone knows a situation has arisen. But I've tried to put it as far from my mind as possible."
By the time Ferdinand tweeted yesterday "What reasons?????!!!" in the aftermath of the decision to call up Kelly in the place of Cahill it was obvious that there must be more to Hodgson's decision than just "football reasons". In private the Football Association maintains that Kelly was with the squad for the first week and they are confident of him coming back in with his fitness levels well-established.
Even when he announced Ferdinand's initial omission, Hodgson did not question the 33-year-old's fitness. As it stands Ferdinand is understood to be in the country and training every day at his gym at home. He is ready to play. Micah Richards, on the other hand, turned down the opportunity to go on stand-by when the squad was selected on the basis that it was Stuart Pearce and not Hodgson who called him with the news.
Whatever the players think about the Ferdinand situation, the usual rules of omerta will be observed. There is a court case pending, after all, but even if there was not, footballers are not given to being outspoken on such delicate topics. At the next England press conference on Thursday in Krakow someone will declare the squad united and attempt to draw a line under it all.
Aside from the politics of the situation, the loss of Cahill is a tough one to take. He was the victim of a cowardly push by Dries Mertens in the 18th minute which sent him headfirst into Joe Hart and a collision that robs the defender of the chance to play at Euro 2012. The Cahill-Terry partnership was well-established and, while Joleon Lescott is a more than adequate replacement, the cover beyond those two is inexperienced.
The defence had threatened to be England's strongest point, especially in the light of an uninspiring win over Belgium at Wembley on Saturday. Much like the one against Norway seven days earlier, it was built on the obduracy of England's defensive work. When it came to the opposition attempts on goal, you could count the chances in both games in the single figures.
They have won both games under Hodgson by single goal. Against Belgium it was a neat finish by Danny Welbeck from Ashley Young's pass for his first international goal. For now, however, the compliment that England are hard to beat is not one that Hodgson wants to accept.
"You're suggesting I have gone in with some major principle and have got the players around and said: 'Now lads, this is what we are going to do, we are going to be hard to beat'," was the England manager's response. "That is not the case at all. When we work on our defending, we work on our defending. When we work on our attacking, we work on our attacking. When we talk to the players about what we are looking for, we talk about both aspects.
"Of course, we do have good defenders... That is what is shining through at the moment. We are very pleased with the work rate from the others. Take James Milner and Steven Gerrard in the last two games, they have done really well. They have taken up good positions defensively. But there is a lot more work for us to do."
Being hard to beat conjures up all sorts of negative connotations that Hodgson rejects. Teams that are hard to beat are grudgingly praised for their stoicism when they are successful – Chelsea in the Champions League this season, Greece at Euro 2004 – but when they fail miserably and go home early, everyone else is delighted. On Theo Walcott, left out for the more conservative Milner, Hodgson was clear that he does not quite trust the Arsenal man enough to pick him.
Suddenly, from nowhere, the Ferdinand issue has been reignited by Cahill's injury. Hodgson will discover that the England manager's job involves fighting fires wherever he can. He just probably did not expect to see this one again so soon.

Venture Capital Investment Strategy in Emerging Markets

BeschreibungIn this study, I apply resource theory andknowledge-based theory to analyze the competitive advantage of venture capital (VC) firms in emerging markets and explore how VC firms accumulate their knowledge and build networks through their investmentstrategies in such markets. Fourmechanisms for knowledge accumulation are summarized, namely, learning byjointing venture, learning by hiring, learning by doing, and learning by observing. My research has found significant differencesbetween foreign and local VC firms in their investment decision process and syndication strategy. This study has also shown that VC knowledge affects its usage of learning mechanisms and together they affect VC investment strategies in emergingmarkets. The study is especially useful for venturecapitalists in emerging markets as well as governmentpolicy makers in these countries.

British rapper Dappy wants Queen legend Brian May to make him a guitar after hearing how the rock legend crafted his first instrument out of an old fireplace. The unlikely pair has teamed up to collaborate on a new track, entitled Rockstar, after the legendary guitarist reached out to the N-Dubz frontman to praise him for his hit solo song No Regrets. After learning May built a guitar using wood from his father's home, Dappy is eager for the star to help him make an instrument for himself. He tells Britain's Daily Star, "I would love Brian to make me a guitar. He told me all about his guitar that he made with his dad out of wood from a fireplace in his old house. "He even got a five-sided coin to put in the neck and he replaced the Queen's head with his own head. Now that's his pluck, so I want one with my head on it." He also reveals May has become his musical mentor since their studio session, adding, "Brian bigged me up for my last single and said I should win an (British songwriting award) Ivor Novello for lyrics. "He told me: 'You are a very different artist and unique, so carry on doing what you're doing. There's nobody else challenging you.'"source: http://www.contactmusic.com/news/dappy-wants-may-customised-guitar_1284536

Bellator FC 60: Warren vs Curran
Bellator 60
Date: Mar 09, 2012
Location: Hammond, Indiana
Venue: The Venue at Horseshoe Hammond
Broadcast: MTV2 and Spike.com
Champ Joe Warren vs. Pat Curran (for featherweight title)
Marlon Sandro vs. Roberto Vargas (featherweight-tourney opening round)
Wagnney Fabiano vs. Ronnie Mann (featherweight-tourney opening round)
Alexandre "PoPo" Bezerra vs. Genair da Silva (featherweight-tourney opening round)

Anthony Gomez vs. Travis Wiuff

Mike Corey vs. Bobby Reardanz
Lance Surma vs. Eric Oria
Cory Galloway vs. Jake Nauracy
Bellator 60 is now official for March 9, and the card will host Bellator Fighting Championships' season-six featherweight tournament quarterfinals, as well as a 145-pound championship fight.
As MMAjunkie.com (
) previously reported, featherweight champ Joe Warren headlines the event against Pat Curran.
Bellator officials today announced the card also features Marlon Sandro vs. Roberto Vargas, Wagnney Fabiano vs. Ronnie Mann, Alexandre "PoPo" Bezerra vs. Genair da Silva and Jeremy Spoon vs. Daniel Straus.
Bellator 60 takes place at Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Ind. The evening's main card airs on MTV2, and the prelims stream free on Spike.com.
Sandro (20-3 MMA, 3-1 BFC), a former World Victory Road/Sengoku champion and ex-King of Pancrase, defeated da Silva and Nazareno Malegarie before his head-kick-KO loss to Curran in Bellator's recent "Summer Series" tourney finale. He's now 6-2 over his past eight fights, and the defeats came to Curran and notable Hatsu Hioki in Japan.
The Brazilian fighter and Nova Uniao team member returned to Bellator in the recently concluded "Summer Series" season and picked up a first-round submission victory over Rafael Dias in a non-tourney fight. It marked his 11th stoppage win in 20 career victories.
Vargas (12-1 MMA, 1-1 BFC) has fought twice under the Bellator banner; "Beto" earned a unanimous-decision win over Daniel Pineda at Bellator 6 before the split-decision defeat to Reis at Bellator 10. Since then, he's won six straight fights, which included a recent split-decision victory over previously unbeaten Jared Downing at Shark Fights 20.
Fabiano (14-3 MMA, 0-0 BFC) competes for the first time since a WEC 52 bantamweight loss to Joseph Benavidez saw him released from the promotion. Fabiano went 4-2 during a six-fight streak under the WEC banner, earning wins over Frank Gomez, Clint Godfrey, Fredson Paixao and Akitoshi Tamura while losing to Benavidez and Mackens Semerzier.
Prior to his WEC run, Fabiano earned six-straight wins fighting for the International Fight League, becoming the promotion's first and only featherweight champion and defending the title once before the promotion shuttered.
Mann (21-4-1 MMA, 3-1 BFC), a former Cage Rage and World Victory Road/Sengoku fighter, joined Bellator earlier this year. After knocking out Adam Schindler in the opening round of the "Summer Series" tourney, he suffered a decision loss to Pat Curran in the semifinals and was bounced from the tournament.
During the recently concluded "Summer Series," Mann had a successful return to competition and submitted Kenny Foster to help secure a berth in the season-six tourney. Mann is now 5-1 over his past six fights and 10-2 over the past four years. Aside from Curran, the Team Tompkins fighter's only other loss during the stretch came to notable Hatsu Hioki in the 2009 Sengoku featherweight grand prix.
Bezerra (11-1 MMA, 4-0 BFC) should be a familiar name to Bellator fans, as the Brazilian has competed four times for the promotion in non-tournament contests. All four fights ended via stoppage and three came in the very first round.
Bezerra's lone career loss came via submission in a September 2009 bout with current UFC contender Charles Oliveira. Eleven of his 12 wins have via stoppage (four knockouts and seven submissions).
Da Silva (11-4 MMA, 1-1 BFC), a Brazilian who had a successful three-year run on the country's regional circuit, signed with Bellator earlier this year before suffering the defeat to Sandro. However, he made a victorious return to the organization and secured his spot in the upcoming tournament with a recent first-round submission victory over Bellator regular Bryan Goldsby in October at Bellator 52.
Da Silva now owns eight stoppages (six knockouts) in 11 career wins. He's also won five of his past six fights.
Spoon (12-0 MMA, 2-0 BFC) secured his tourney berth with a recent Bellator 56 win over Adam Schindler. He also owns a Bellator victory over Jerrod Sanders and an early-career win over Jose Vega, who eventually joined Bellator.
Straus (17-4 MMA, 3-1 BFC) is a former tourney finalist, earning his way to the finals of the promotion's season-four tournament with wins over Kenny Foster and Nazareno Malegarie. Straus suffered a decision loss in the finals to Patricio "Pitbull" Freire.

What Can We Learn From A Garden? (6 of 10) by Brad Whitt
This content is part of a series.What Can We Learn From A Garden? (6 of 10)
Series: The Book Of Beginnings
Brad Whitt
Genesis 2:8-17
INTRO: I want you to take your Bibles now this morning and be finding your place once again at the first book of your Bible if you will. We are journeying through the book of Genesis on Sunday morning's here at Temple in a study that we have entitled, "The Book of Beginnings." You see, the Book of Genesis isn't just given that name because it's located at the beginning of your Bible. It's given that title because in these opening chapters of the Word of God we are told about the beginning of so many things. Now, so far in this study we've seen God begin the clock of time and space. We've seen the beginning of the heavens and the earth. We have seen the beginning of plant life and animal life and bird life. We've seen the rivers begin to flow and ocean waves begin to crash upon the sea shores of this new planet. Last week we saw the beginning of human life and this morning as we come to Genesis chapter 2, verse 8 we're going to see the beginning of man's home, the first place that man lived after this world was perfectly created by the word of God – we know it by the name that the Bible gives it –"the Garden of Eden."
Listen to this beautiful description as Moses tells us about man's first home. Genesis 2:8, "The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed." The Bible says that somewhere toward the east in a place call "Eden," God planted a Garden.
Now, I don't know about you, but there are a lot of times, when I'm reading my Bible, that I'm really glad that I'm not God and this is one of them. If I had been in charge of planting that Garden, Adam would have been in a whole lot of trouble. You know, we hear about people who just have an uncanny ability to grow things, Mr. Bill Cole here in our church is one of those kinds of people. They write articles about his flowers and vegetable plants. If so ...

Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad DayMature
How dare they? They wanted to cut me from the show. Me! I'm clearly the most valuable female in the cast and they wanted to cut me! These new writer's better accept the truth about who I am.
"He's coming." Way to state the obvious, Helena. Oh shoot! He's coming! As in it's time to sit up tall and put on a flirty smile so that he knows how much I appreciate his work. He is after all the writer in charge of all of my lines.
"Wipe that smile off your face, Alfreda." I must be hearing things. He did not just use my real first name with me, did he?
"I hate to be rude Sir, but it's Aaliyah, Aaliyah Greene. I proudly play the role of Melanie Walsh in the show." Caine glares at me. It wasn't a mistake at all, he used my real name in light of knowing that's not who I am. I twirl my perfectly loose curls to try to get on his good side, but the clamour of the room is overpowering me. It dawns on me that no one here knows me by the name Alfreda. Ugh, such a heinous name. I don't know why Mommy and Daddy hated me so much as to give me a name like Alfreda Greenberg. I remember as a child they tried to call me Fraydie at one of my schools and the other kids laughed at me. I shudder. That was a harsh time.
"I did a background scan on you and I know it's a facade. Your real name is Alfreda Greenberg, your hair is naturally ginger. Evident considering you clearly have no soul." Caine chuckled to himself at the offensive comment. "Your eyes are blue and your face is speckled. You are fake. I do not respect that."
I gasp at the outrageous comments being spoken about me of all people. I could understand insulting someone ugly, but not me! "Regardless, of who you think you are, I came out here for you to know that I've started writing the scripts and they'll be done in a few days. You may now return to your work." Caine skipped away as though nothing happened.
"He really is fucked up." Pointed out Kate. There was a collective nod.
The day came to a close and I am now sitting in traffic, sobbing over my life. I roll the car window down to try to dry my eyes, but instead, tragedy strikes.
"Gotcha!" A man holds a flashing camera, marking the day. He could not have gotten a worse shot of me. My makeup has run down my face, you can see my freckles peeking through the blackness of my mascara. Oh, if man were not so cruel to one another, maybe the world could survive.
I furiously honk my horn at the cars ahead of me, urging them to move forward. When finally they do, I pull off the highway and take side streets back to my condo. I can't believe how lousy this day has been for me. The world must really hate me. It's second grade all over again and I swear- though ladies don't swear- that I will not get out of this by moving states once again. I'm lived in twelve different states in my lifetime and now that I've finally found one where I'm accepted, I refuse to move again.
I don't bother to remove my makeup or even take my contact lenses out; I simply flop onto my bed and cry myself to sleep.

Hi all, I have look in the archive and have followed the instructions in the tutorial and I am still having problems limiting nutch to just my site. For instance, the tutorial reads: 2. Edit the file conf/crawl-urlfilter.txt and replace MY.DOMAIN.NAME with the name of the domain you wish to crawl. For example, if you wished to limit the crawl to the nutch.org domain, the line should read: +^http://([a-z0-9]*\.)*nutch.org/ But when I test the above regex according to a comment in the archives on April 16 using: cat file-with-test-urls | nutch net/nutch/net/RegexURLFilter I get this for the output: <snip> +# skip URLs containing certain characters as probable queries, etc. --[?*!@=] - +# limit to org site only -+^http://([a-z0-9]*\.)*nutch.org/ - +# do not accept anything else ++. </snip> So, according to to the filter test, the regex in the tutorial does not work. Also, when I use Doug's example from another email (+^http://www.cs.princeton.edu/(people/(grad|fac)\.php)?$) I also get the "-" sign when I run the test. Also, the "-[?*!@=]" also gets a "-" sign... So, can anyone out there give me the exact syntax so that nutch will *only* crawl the domain (and subdomain(s)) for the site I want to crawl? Many thanks. -lucas

It works, BUT be careful!
I started taking these tablets because I suspected I had zinc deficiency and YES i have it. I started taking ONE tablet every night and then one night I made a huuuuuuuuuge mistake and took these on an empty stomach, oh boy, you have no idea how much I regret that. It's like I was having a baaaad hangover and had drank a bottle of vodka, that's how sick and naseous I felt. so DON'T TAKE THESE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH, GOT IT?! So ok, now this DOES work, if I take it everyday for a month I will see a huge difference on my nails, libido and less hairloss. So I recomend but i think 50 mg is too strong! And since our bodies don't store zinc, we have to take it everyday to see results, so i think I'll try a different one.

I can't really tell whether this product is good and efficient for increasing my zinc levels because every time I took it (regardless of food intake), it always gave me gastric pain almost immediately after taking it and made me feel nauseated. I tried other zinc supplements from different brands and didn't have this kind of problem. So, now I have a bottle of 200+ zinc pills that I can't use. Money wasted,
Good product

Good product. Working well for my body and my husband. What I found, the 50mg dose is too much for me, so I am taking half a tablet a day. Some time I forget to take, is OK. Anna

I have a condition called pyroluria. This is when the body is unable to "keep" the zinc and B6. For years I suffered from cramps in the legs whenever I exerted myself and I tried all sorts of supplements to overcome the problem. It was not until I had a urine test for pyroluria did I find the answer. I have been taking the Now Zinc tablets for over a year and no more cramps. As a previous reviewer stated "do not take these on an empty stomach" as you will end up with a bad case of nausea. I grind the tablets up and sprinkle the dust over my cereal in the mornings and no sign of sickness when I do this. As I am aging I am now going to switch to Zinc Picolinate as I see that it has a higher absorption rate and some other benefits, so I may have to halve the dosage.

Avast, Ye Fruits
Theres a rumor Johnny Depp is in town desperately going door-to-door and begging people to see his awful new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Not true. Hes actually going around stealing mangoes. Right, like youve never plucked one off of some strangers tree. Johnny, bro, theres no need for that. Its raining mangoes this week courtesy of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and its unfortunate pirates/Caribbean-theme International Mango Festival. The luscious summer-ripe fruit gets feted (and eated) today and tomorrow with a salad of sales, lectures, and demonstrations, plus an auction, puppet show, and something called mango theater (not, presumably, starring Mr. Depp).
Fairchild, being a botanic garden and all, will offer for sale numerous mango trees, the produce of which will also be available. The Garden says this is the largest mango collection on Earth, a staggering display of genetic diversity. They grow from more than 200 cultivars, which is pretty staggering. Prices vary wildly, with one tasting (duh, the best part) costing only a dollar. Admission to Fairchild itself is $20 for adults, less for others. Children wearing pirate costumes (aaarrrgh!) get in free.

A friend mentioned to me that he ran into an argument I had not heard for a while. Apparently, in A World Full of Gods, Keith Hopkins states that given the extremely low lifespan of the average Middle Eastern person, the eyewitnesses to Jesus must have died out fairly quickly, maybe even by the fifties AD. It goes like this: since the average life expectancy during ancient times was low, reports of eyewitness authors of the gospels or eyewitnesses speaking about Jesus' life in the second half of the first century are unreliable. According to the average life expectancy, no one would have lived that long.
How likely is it that eyewitnesses to Jesus' life survived the 50s? A 20 year old at the time of Jesus' death would have been 49 in 62 AD. A 25 year old would have been 54 by that time.
How likely is it that Papias--reportedly living from 60-135 AD-- had access to eyewitnesses? A 20 year old would have been 65 in 77 AD. A 25 year old would have been 70 by that time.
How likely is it that an eyewitness, whether John Zebedee, Lazarus, or some other disciple, wrote the Gospel of John in the 90s AD (assuming for the sake of argument that it was written that late). If the author was 25 at Jesus' death, he would have been 84 in 92 AD. A 20 year old would have been 79 by that time.
Average life expectancy does not tell us how long people tended to live. It does not even tell us the average age reached by most people. It includes babies and young mothers who die in child birth and children who die from disease. These skew the average downward. Once a man survived childhood, the numbers increased dramatically.
According to this Life Table Approximating Roman Population, once a person reached the age of 30 in the ancient Roman empire, their average life expectancy was 59. If they reached 40, their average life expectancy was 63. If they made it to 60, the life expectancy was 70. And so on. At any given time, over 17% of the population was 50 or older. Almost 5% of the population was 65 or older.
According to Paul in 1 Corinthians, there were in excess of 500 witnesses to the resurrection itself. There were likely others who followed Jesus at one time or another, or who heard his teachings and joined the movement later. Thus, there were at least several hundred witnesses to Jesus' life who were active in the early Church. Obviously these witnesses had survived child hood. Just from a numbers stand point, therefore, it seems very likely that many of these eyewitnesses would have lived well into the second half of the first century.
Stepping away from the statistics for a moment, let us look at some examples of ancient Greek and Roman historians and biographers. Many of them reached their senior years.
Polybius was a first-hand witness of much about which he wrote, including the Third Punic War and the destruction of Carthage itself. Taking Hopkin's approach to the numbers, there is no way Polybius could have lived long enough to witness all these events and write his books. But Lucian reports that Polybius lived to 82, and would have lived longer had he not fallen from his horse after a day of hunting.
The Roman historian Livy lived past his 75th birthday. Plutarch, a prolific Roman biographer, lived to be 81. Another ancient biographer, Cornelius Nepos, lived past his 75th birthday. Although estimates vary, the best reconstruction is that Cassius Dio lived to be 74.
Philo, the Jewish writer and biographer of Moses lived to be 70.
Early Christian writers also demonstrated longevity. Polycarp was over 85 when he was martyred by the Romans. Justin Martyr died at 65 when he met a martyr's death. Origen lasted 69 years and Tertullian made it past 75.
If I spent more time researching this issue, I could come up with a very, very long list of ancient persons who lived long lives, even by today's standards. Thus, there is nothing at all improbable about eyewitnesses of Jesus' ministry, death, and resurrection attesting to their memories while the gospels were written and when Papias was collecting information about Jesus.

Also, St. Anthony lived over 100 years (and with a hyper-ascetic lifestyle that probably wasn't especially healthy, too). So it's certainly not implausible that the disciples could have lived long enough.

Thanks for the research! My pastor mentioned that in the time of Jesus people the average life expectancy was 30-35 years. I knew many lived more but your investigation in the matter was very helpful!

Wonderful. Now tell me how a person can remember all the details of a conversation that happened between 20 and 50 years later? That's right the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were written 20 to 50 years after Jesus' death. No tape recorders, no paper and pens. Some of us wonder how this stuff continues to be believed.
- Layman said...
Strawman Alert!
No one claims they remembered every detail of every conversation. But did they remember whether he was raised from the dead? That angels appeared to them? Did they remember many of his important teachings that he emphasized over and over again for three years? Did they remember what they had been preaching all along for those intervening years?
That's a lot more plausible than the notion that they remembered nothing.

High Priest Annas was believed to have lived from 22 bc to 66 ad. He was already in his 50s when Jesus was crucified. And he might have lived longer had he not been assassinated in 66 ad for being a Roman sympathizer.

Seriously do you think no matter how much time has past anyone forget the day they attended a funeral only to have Jesus come in and crash it by raising the dead?

When I see this...just...wow!
"Wonderful. Now tell me how a person can remember all the details of a conversation that happened between 20 and 50 years later? ....."
Do you for some reason believe that paper, pen and writing magically appeared 20-50 years later? There are tablets dating from 1400bc (writing or at least heiroglyphs)in northern syria, 600-900bc from Assyria, Samaritan docs from 350bc for the sale of slaves ... People wrote!
- dankuik said...
There is absolutely no reason to doubt that exact words and conversation and teachings were remembered and memorized. Most historical information was passed on by accurate, memorized oral tradition. Biblical and extra biblical evidence was passed on in this way. dan

Ukraine speed to test new-look Germany defense
By Karolos Grohmann
EVIAN, France (Reuters) - Germany's defense will be put to the test in their opening Euro 2016 group match against Ukraine in Lille on Sunday with major questions still to be answered about the world champions' new-look rearguard.
Coach Joachim Loew's team will be without key central defender Mats Hummels, still recovering from a muscle injury, as they kick off their Group C campaign.
Hummels' replacement Antonio Ruediger was ruled out with torn cruciate knee ligaments this week.
Holding midfielder and captain Bastian Schweinsteiger, still working on his comeback from injury, is also absent, further complicating Loew's defensive conundrum.
Benedikt Hoewedes and Jerome Boateng are the two likely central defenders but both had a long injury break late in the season and are in desperate need of match practice.
Jonathan Tah, the 20-year-old who was only called up this week following Ruediger's injury, is expected to be on the bench.
Toni Kroos, who will shoulder the biggest responsibility of connecting Germany's defensive and attacking game, is brimming with confidence following his Champions League win with Real Madrid.
Assistant coach Thomas Schneider sounded confident on Friday that the team would quickly find their cohesion at the back. Continued...

Shed Rafters
So I had that huge thread no one responded to, so its deleted and I've specialized the topics to different forums :)
On this shed - 20 x 12, internally divided into two sections, with two sets of doors. Snow load in the area is 30 lbs.
For aesthetic reasons I'd like to not have the pitch face the house, so it will be running the 20 ft length. Since this is only for aesthetics, is it worth the extra work/cost? And I'm thinking this would be 2x8's @ 24" with 1/2" plywood. Or should I just run the ridge beam the 20 ft length and make it easier?

Nearly a year after his election to the position, Archdeacon Michael Pollesal has been ratified as bishop coadjutor of Uruguay. The Uruguay Synod elected Pollesal to the position in May 2012, but, without explanation, the election was not ratified at that time by the House of Bishops of the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone. Anglican Journal reports:
The Anglican Province of the Southern Cone has reconsidered the Diocese of Uruguay's appeal and has voted to ratify the election of Archdeacon Michael Pollesel as coadjutor bishop.
The decision came 10 months after the province's House of Bishops rejected Pollesel's election. The Uruguayan diocesan synod had appealed the decision, but "for technical canonical reasons the form of the original appeal was not valid" and had to be presented again, said Southern Cone Presiding Bishop Hector Zavala in a press release.
The Southern Cone House of Bishops and provincial Executive Council, "with joy and thankfulness to God," ratified Pollesel's election after new consideration of the appeal and the presentation of new background material, Zavala said.
The Diocese of Uruguay has navigated rocky waters within the Province of the Southern Cone, and requested to switch provinces after Pollesal's ratification was voted down last year. According to Anglican Journal, Pollesal credited a visit last January "and subsequent report by the Rev. Canon Kenneth Kearon, Anglican Communion general secretary, as having allowed the diocese and the province to 'find a way out of being stuck.' Zavala decided to invite a small delegation from the diocese to attend part of the Southern Cone's House of Bishops meeting, a recommendation in the Kearon report.
" 'At the face-to-face meeting I believe we were able to bring down some defensive walls that had been built and also build some bridges of understanding and reconciliation,' said Pollesel. 'We're not there yet. But we're certainly moving in a good direction.' "
Pollesal will replace retiring bishop Miguel de Tamayo, whom Pollesal described as "a faithful pastor who has been here as a priest and bishop for almost two decades." Read full story here.

Good to see the crisis over Michael Pollesel's election resolved at last–unlikely to be the last chapter however. The election by his diocese was rejected by the Southern cone bishops as part of the ongoing struggle of the ordination of women, and the interference of Southern cone in the affairs of the Anglican Church of Canada. The article in the Canadian Journal could have been more savvy in dealing with the ongoing issues. Below is a link to some of the back story from ENS. Thinking Anglicans also has archived reports on this story.

He takes a lot of flak, but seems like Kenneth Kearon did a fine job here.

People who work in retail merchandising persuade consumers to purchase a company's products or services. Retail merchandising is one of the largest employment industries in the United States. About one in five U.S. workers is employed by retailers, according to McGraw-Hill's "Introduction to the World of Retailing." Changes in the retail industry provide many job opportunities for college graduates interested in the fast-paced, profitable field of retail merchandising.
Buying and Purchasing
Careers in retail merchandising commonly begin with retail buying and purchasing. A buyer or purchaser evaluates the supplier for reliability, negotiates the best price, and evaluates the quality of the goods or services. Most retail buyers and purchasers work more than 40 hours per week. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS), buyer and purchasing jobs are expected to increase 7 percent through 2020, with an average median annual salary of over $58,000.
Store Management
Store management jobs in retail merchandising commonly begin with assistant or trainee positions. Store management jobs are more people-oriented than buying and purchasing. Store managers must lead and motivate employees, meet customer needs, and ensure merchandise is available and attractively displayed. Store managers must be organized and have good communication skills. According to the BLS, the average salary for a retail store manager in 2011 was $40,630 per year. Store managers with several locations can move up to become district or regional managers.
Corporate Jobs
Most corporate jobs in retail merchandising require you have experience as a buyer, purchaser or store manager as well as in the specific area of expertise. These can include management information systems, marketing and real estate. Management information jobs involve the computer systems for purchasing goods or services and managing inventory. Marketing jobs involve public relations, visual merchandising or advertising. Corporate real estate involves selecting locations for stores and negotiating leases and land purchases.
Job Outlook
In recent years, retailers have begun to sell products through several channels, including a traditional store, catalog, direct mail, online venue, or a social networking site such as Twitter, Facebook or Craigslist. The National Retail Federation predicts a retail sales growth of 3.4 percent in 2013, while the digital division expects online retail sales to grow up to 12 percent. Schools offering retail merchandising majors suggest students supplement their programs with marketing, advertising or communications classes to meet the growing demand for online retail merchandising.

I received the new 4G iPad today. I changed my laptop connect USB device to the iPad in my account and it's set up for 4G LTE now thanks to Premier support.
Will the iPad eventually be able to serve as a hotspot? It looks like it *might* based on the features listed on the 4G data plan. I know VZW already has the feature on, and I am curious if AT&T will get this going soon as well.
My plan shows this under included features, the "Mob Tethering" is what is peaking my interest in this. Does this mean when they decide to turn the hotspot feature on, it will be included?
BROADBAND ACCESS , BALANCE MANAGER , Data Access , Mob Tethering , HSS PROVISIONING , NOTIFY POLICY H , SPEED TIER HIGH
I'm very interested in this as well.
AT&T, I hope you're listening and paying attention to the fact that Verizon is including this capability with no additional fees. I would gladly buy the 4G data on a monthly basis as the tethering feature would make it so much more useful. Without tethering, I would only pay for a month's worth of data in the most desperate situations.

Baby's eyes
Baby's eyes
Key points to remember
- seek medical advice if you have any concerns about your child's eyes
How do we see things?
Light enters the eye through the cornea, the clear outer skin or window at the front of the eye. It passes through the pupil, the hole in the iris or coloured part of the eye. Light rays are then focused on the retina at the back of the eye that then sends information via nerves to the brain where the pictures are recognised and interpreted. All the parts of the eye form your baby's eyesight (vision).
Baby's first year - checklist
If you have any concerns about your baby's vision, see your family doctor or Well Child service provider.
At birth
- babies are attracted to faces
- they may avoid bright lights by closing eyes
- their eyes may sometimes appear to wander or be turned
At 1 month
- babies start to fix on their parent's face whilst feeding
- they occasionally have a turn in their eyes
- they follow large moving objects for a few seconds and begin to show interest in toys
At 2 months
- babies are more interested in toys and objects
- they follow a person with their eyes
- they recognise a parent's face and can tell it from other faces
At 4 months
- babies can focus on toys held close to them
- their eyes should be straight and move together in all directions
- babies are interested in smaller more detailed toys
- they reach for toys, grasp firmly and regard closely
At 6 months
- babies become more skilled in using their eyes to locate and reach objects of interest
- they follow objects with their head and eyes in all directions
- they are visually alert and curious about their surroundings
- they follow an adult's movement across the room
At 12 months
- babies recognise familiar people from at least 6 metres away
- they will have binocular vision (the ability to use the eyes together) from 9 months

Buildings and environments which offer the highest quality of design in both form and function with engaging architecture and a fully integrated public realm.
We look beyond individual buildings to think about the spaces around them. We focus on assets where we are able to control the broader environment and can therefore undertake broader and bolder design. We also pioneer new building technologies and the most sustainable practices.
We believe that innovative and inspired design is an integral part of Placemaking, which is how we create Places People Prefer. We work with both established and new designers to help create places have a positive social, environmental and economic impact, benefiting local communities and future proofing environments.
Hear what others say about design and Placemaking.
Yalding House, our most recently completed office development in the West End, was home to Radio 1 until 2012. Our refurbishment retained much of the original character of the building; the reception features an adjoining meeting and waiting room complete with turntable and extensive record collection. We believe the distinctive nature of the building will appeal to creative and technology focused sectors, which have been a key area of growth across the capital in recent years.
We know from our recent survey of 1,000 office workers across the UK that outdoor areas and gardens are a key part of the 'ideal office'. We've recently embarked on our second phase of upgrades at Paddington Central, which will transform the campus for the people who work and live there by creating a greener, more pedestrian friendly environment. Our plans include a Woodland Garden, an outdoor Games Room providing activities where people can socialise, a Library where people can relax and a Kitchen Garden with communal seating in the summer months. All enhancements are being carefully phased and managed to minimise disruption to retailers, residents, building occupants and visitors.
At St Stephen's in Hull, we have installed 1,100 photovoltaic panels generating enough clean power to fulfil a third of all electricity demand in the common areas. The panels build on the Centre's award-winning efficiency programme, which has reduced landlord energy by 40% since 2010, saving occupiers £383,100 and cutting carbon emissions by 2,470 tonnes. Other innovations include a rainwater harvesting system which provides over one million litres of water each year and a food-to-water treatment plant which recycles 15 tonnes of food waste annually.
At Clarges Mayfair we are creating a new and elegant landmark. It is entirely rooted in the history of the surrounding area, taking inspiration from local heritage and craftsmanship. This is reflected in the fluted design of the columns, which are made from Portland stone, the delicate aluminium bronze balustrades that are inspired by the branches of the plane trees lining Green Park and the bread lace collars that were fashionable in 16th century Mayfair.

Data Breaches Bring Back Failed Legislation From the Dead
June 27, 2011
Public fallout from the data breaches that have affected Citigroup and other large enterprises has reached the political push back stage. Sen. Patrick Leahyhas introduced the Personal Data Privacy and Security Act of 2011, which would bring federal criminal charges against enterprises that don't disclose breaches to individuals in a timely manner via mail, telephone or e-mail. Media notices would be required for breaches involving 5,000 or more people. And the FBI and Secret Service would need to be notified if the breach affects 10,000 or more people, compromises databases containing the information of 1,000,000 or more people, or impacts federal databases or law enforcement. In the House, Rep. Mary Bono Mack has introduced a similar bill requiring disclosures to victims within 48 hours of a data breach.

Crowds of mourners gathered today to say a poignant farewell to murdered schoolgirl Alice Gross as her funeral cortège passed through the streets near her home.
A motorcycle outrider led a convoy of four black Mercedes, one carrying Alice's coffin decorated with pictures of her pets and a countryside scene to reflect her love of nature.
Her parents Rosalind Hodgkiss and Jose Gross and sister Nina sat with solemn dignity as their car passed people lining Hanwell's streets.
The family issued a statement saying: "We have been devastated by the appalling circumstances of Alice's death. She was so spirited, so present, so vital and so full of promise.
"We find it almost impossible to understand what has happened and that we have to say goodbye to her. We want Alice's funeral to focus on the joy of her life and the joy of having known her.
"We'd like to thank everyone for being so kind and supportive. We have been moved by the depth of sympathy and compassion around us, not only from close family and friends but also the local community."
The cortège stopped for two minutes for mourners to pay respects at Hanwell clock tower where hundreds of flowers, cuddly toys and other tributes had been left for Alice, 14.
During her funeral service today mourners sang You Are My Sunshine and there were musical tributes from her teachers.
Her grandfather read a Wordsworth poem during the humanist celebration. Her coffin had been painted by sister Nina, Alice's grandmother Anne Hodgkiss and family friend Carole McCourt.
The schoolgirl went missing after going for a walk near her home on August 28. Her body was found more than a month later after one of the biggest ever search operations mounted by police in the capital.

Specialist search teams eventually discovered her remains hidden under logs in the bed of the River Brent in west London on September 30.
The prime suspect in her murder, convicted killer Arnis Zalkalns, was then found hanged in nearby Boston Manor Park on October 4, four weeks after he was reported missing to police.
Alice's disappearance sparked an outpouring of support in and around Hanwell .
Yellow ribbons and bows spread around the area along with missing posters. as the community lived in hope that the Brentside High School pupil would be found.
Today people gathered on pavements to pay their respects as the cortege passed.
Family friend and mother of two Jayne Roberts, 37, watched the cortège and helped lay out dozens of candles to spell out the message: "We love you Alice".
She said: "My daughter went to primary school with Alice and I had to come here to see Alice on her final journey. They are a beautiful family and we are just so sad for them."
Young and old laid new tributes and mourned together.
Hilda Greenham, 80, said: "Alice was murdered on my 80th birthday and I live right where her body was found. That poor girl her and her family tried so hard to find her, the community spirit was wonderful but we could not bring her home."
Colin Curtis, 53, said: "I am here today to show my solidarity for the family. I live right next to where Alice was found we are all devastated."
One card near the coffin read: "With deepest sympathies keeping you in our thoughts." The investigation team.
A public memorial ceremony for Alice will take place on Sunday, November 2 at Greenford Town Hall as an occasion for the family to thank local people for their support.
Inquests into the deaths of both Alice and her suspected killer have been opened and adjourned, with further tests going on to find out how keen musician Alice died.
A tribute and donation page has been set up in Alice's memory with Youth Music, a charity that supports music projects for disadvantaged children.
Her parents said: "We feel this is a fitting tribute to our daughter Alice. She loved music and loved making music and would have wanted other children to experience this joy."
A statement from the charity said: "Youth Music is honoured and grateful that Alice's family has chosen the charity as the beneficiary of their online tribute in memory of Alice."

You can open a pension for each of your children, receiving tax relief on contributions of up to £2,880 for each tax year. The Government then adds a further £720 tax relief, so a total of £3,600 is then invested each year.
You can pay in more than £2,880 if so desired, but the extra won't be tax-free. Grandparents and other family members can also invest.
Other options
A regular savings account: set up a monthly direct debit into a regular savings account on behalf of a child, friend or member of family, and by the end of its run – usually a year – it will have grown into a lump sum. West Brom Building Society is currently paying out 4.1 per cent on its one-year regular saver. Norwich & Peterborough Building Society offers 4 per cent.
A stocks and shares portfolio: the European economy might be teetering on the brink of Armageddon but analysts reckon there are always investment opportunities out there BUT TAKE ADVICE.
If you think Brazilian energy stocks are worth buying because the emerging market will roar ahead, plunge in. For advice, go to a stockbroker or Independent Financial Advisor (find one in your area via unbiased.co.uk).
For a cheap way to buy and sell, visit a fund supermarket like Hargreaves Lansdowne or The Share Centre. Shares are an exciting present, but remember that this kind of financial investment is risky.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Make Mummy Cupcakes
Mummy cupcakes are an amusing way to celebrate Halloween or to have at a spooky party. The mummy wrappings are made through the careful use of frosting.
- Cupcake mix
- Icing for the eyes (color is your choice)
- Icing for the eyeballs (color is your choice)
- White icing or white fondant for the "mummy wrap"
1Make cupcakes, using the box's instructions and miscellaneous ingredients.
2Check if they are done. You can test this by inserting a toothpick or skewer in the individual cupcake & taking it out. If it's clean, it's done; but if it has mix or crumbs on it, put the tray back in for a few minutes. Read the article How to Test a Cake to See if it is Done for more information on this.
3Take your white icing/fondant and create stripes or lines across the cupcake. Leave a little section empty for the eyes part.
4Take the icing that you chose for the eyes and make a good sized dot where you want the eyes to be.
5Take the icing you chose for the eyeballs and place a little dab on the eye icing.

"My pipe is out, my glass is dry; My fire is almost ashes too; But once again, before you go, And I prepare to meet the New : Old Year! a parting word that's true, For we've been comrades, you and I - I thank God for each day of you; There! bless yo"

the butterflies know
it's those butterflies again,
beating against my heart,
afraid I'll swallow them down
before they can ever start
to fly.
Before you say hello,
I'm ready to let you go,
but at the sight of the smile in your eyes,
the caterpillars that lay in my veins
in dormant cocoons
into bloom.
Is now too soon
to tell you
I wait every day for the note you leave,
your gentle scrawl singing "Hey beautiful,
I was thinking of you."
Is now too soon
to tell you
I'm too proud to admit
I've been dreaming about you, too.
Your laughter over breakfast
has given me a reason to greet the rising sun
with joy and love of a new day come,
my wings like a monarch spread.
Is now too soon
to ask you to fly south with me?
Winter's coming, dappled frost upon my face,
a snowflake pattern the heat of your breath
kisses away.
Is now too soon
to migrate to a hidden place
where you and I are all wrapped up
in the warmth of each others bodies,
no more crying, no more pretend goodbye-ing
because even if now is too soon
to tell you I don't want to
let you go,
the butterflies know.

EUR/USD above $1.3800 on CPI
EUR/USD jumped to a 2-month highs above $1.3800 after the euro zone's CPI surpassed estimates at 0.8% y/y in February vs. 0.7% expected. What's more, the January reading was revised up to 0.8%. Data also showed that the unemployment rate stayed at 12% in January. Demand for the euro is up as the likeliness of the ECB policy easing on March 6 became much lower.
Analysts at Danske Bank still see a threat for EUR's upside coming from Ukraine: ""The situation in Ukraine continues to escalate every day and the Russian rouble and the Ukrainian hryvnia continue to weaken dramatically. We see a clear risk of contagion of the financial stress to other CEE markets."
