Just a month after the first El Clasico of the season, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi could lock horns again in their never-ending battle to be the best player in the world.
But you won't have to travel to Madrid to see to two collide, nor make your way to Barcelona, as the pair are bringing their unrivalled talent to Manchester when Portugal and Argentina face each other in an international friendly at Old Trafford.
75,731 fans will be able to flood into the home of Manchester United to watch the two nations do battle, and they'll be delighted to know that Argentina coach and former Barcelona manager Gerardo Martino has named Messi in his 24-man squad for the friendlies against Croatia at Upton Park on 12 November, and the Portuguese three days later.
Fernando Santos is yet to name his Portugal squad for the trip to the UK but Ronaldo is expected to feature, and having just gotten the better of Messi in Saturday's 3-1 Real Madrid victory over their fierce Spanish rivals, he will hope to do the same at the stadium he used to call home.
Ballon D'or 2014 23-man shortlist
Ballon D'or 2014 23-man shortlist
1/23 Gareth Bale (Real Madrid and Wales)
Appearances: 41
Goals: 21The world's most expensive player made his mark in the Copa del Rey final as he out-powered and out-paced the Barcelona defence to score the match winner, but he managed to trump it with the goal that put Real Madrid ahead in the Champions League final.
2/23 Karim Benzema (Real Madrid and France)
Appearances: 44
Goals: 23Benzema finally established himself as the number one striker at Real after Gonzalo Higuain left the club, and he repaid the faith shown in him by Carlo Ancelotti by striking up a formidable partnership with Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Getty Images
3/23 Diego Costa (Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Spain)
Appearances: 37
Goals: 22Costa's prowess in front of goal was a key factor in securing the La Liga title for Atletico Madrid, and he has continued his tremendous form for Chelsea in shooting them to the top of the Premier League. Now he just needs to get firing on all cylinders for his country.
4/23 Thibaut Courtois (Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Belgium)
Appearances: 45
Goals: 0Courtois has finally secured the number one shirt at Chelsea, but his three years with Atletico Madrid certainly proved fruitful with the culmination of a La Liga success meaning he has more league winners' medals than most of the Chelsea squad.
Getty Images
5/23 Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid and Portugal)
Appearances: 39
Goals: 45Fifa might as well award Ronaldo the trophy now. The reigning Ballon D'or holder is the overwhelming favourite to win the trophy come the 12 January, and his current record of more goals than games played in 2014 is also replicated in his entire time spent with Real.
Getty Images
6/23 Angel Di Maria (Real Madrid, Manchester United and Argentina)
Appearances: 38
Goals: 7Di Maria is included for his fine end to the season with Real Madrid that helped them secure La Decima, with a switch to a central role proving to be a shrewd decision. He also helped Argentina reach the final of the World Cup, but was hampered late by injury. He's made a good start to his United career and looks to be a real gem of the Premier League.
Getty Images
7/23 Mario Gotze (Bayern Munich and Germany)
Appearances: 43
Goals: 15He'll go down in history as the man who won the 2014 World Cup for Germany, with his extra-time winner sparking celebrations across the globe. His form for Bayern Munich though should not be ignored, and he consistently provides reminders of just how talented he is.
8/23 Eden Hazard (Chelsea and Belgium)
Appearances: 43
Goals: 11Hazard has spoken of his ambition to be on the same level as Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and he's shown signs this season that he is continuing to develop into one of the world's best. He'll want to add more goals to his game, but he's one of the first names on the team-sheet for the Blues.
Getty Images
9/23 Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Paris Saint-Germain and Sweden)
Appearances: 26
Goals: 20The now veteran striker missed out on going to the World Cup with Sweden and was hampered by injury late last season, but he still cracked 20 goals for club and country and remains one of the most lethal finishers in world football.
Getty Images
10/23 Andres Iniesta (Barcelona and Spain)
Appearances: 38
Goals: 2Iniesta's trade comes in laying on goals for his team-mates, and while he is part of a Barcelona and Spain side that looks to be slightly exposed, he continues to demonstrate an astonishing quality with the ball at his feet.
Getty images
11/23 Toni Kroos (Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Germany),
Appearances: 44
Goals: 5Kroos emerged as one of Germany's leading midfielders not so long ago, and he was a crucial cog in their World Cup side that saw Joachim Low choose him as his established holding midfielder. He left Bayern for Real Madrid in the summer, but has been a regular since arriving in Spain.
12/23 Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich and Germany)
Appearances: 40
Goals: 3The World Cup-winning captain brought the curtain down on his international career after reaching the pinnacle during the summer, and that came after yet another Bundesliga win with Bayern Munich. Outstanding both in defence and midfield, there is simply no limits to his football ability.
Getty Images
13/23 Javier Mascherano (Barcelona and Argentina)
Appearances: 30
Goals: 0The Argentinian may have never scored for Barcelona, but he has emerged as the go-to centre-back in the Catalans' defence having surpassed Gerard Pique. He has a habit for a yellow card, but that often bails Barcelona out when they need it most, and he's certainly calmed down since his Premier League days.
Getty Images
14/23 Lionel Messi (Barcelona and Argentina)
Appearances: 44
Goals: 35Messi appears powerless at the moment to stop Cristiano Ronaldo from staking his claim as the best player in the world, but write off the little maestro at your peril. Such are his standards, 35 goals in 44 games appears to be below-par, but don't be surprised if he proves the doubters wrong once again.
Getty Images
15/23 Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich and Germany)
Appearances: 43
Goals: 20Muller is often earmarked as the man Germany don't really need, given their talent in midfield. But he was red-hot at the World Cup and helped himself to five goals in Brazil. He has also shown up Robert Lewandowski since the Pole arrived in Munich, and that's no easy feat.
16/23 Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich and Germany)
Appearances: 44
Goals: 0Neuer has been the slightly alternative selection of many to win the Ballon D'or, with former striker Andriy Shevchenko giving his backing to the goalkeeper. Neuer is widely regarded as the best goalkeeper in the world, and the trophy – while surprising – would certainly be deserved.
Getty Images
17/23 Neymar (Barcelona and Brazil)
Appearances: 33
Goals: 19The Brazilian was the poster boy of the World Cup in his homeland, and may have added to his four goals had he not suffered a broken back in the win over Colombia. He has scored more goals than Barcelona team-mate Messi this season, and appears to be hitting his best a year after moving to Spain.
Getty Images
18/23 Paul Pogba (Juventus and France)
Appearances: 42
Goals: 5The one who got away for Manchester United, Pogba has emerged as one of the leading defensive midfielders in the game and helped the Old Lady to their third straight Serie A title this year. He has also become a central figure in the France squad, which is no easy thing to do.
Getty Images
19/23 Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid and Spain)
Appearances: 42
Goals: 8He may love a red card, but Ramos is still one of the best centre-backs around. He enjoyed a fantastic year for Real which included a run of goals towards the back end of last season, and he also netted the crucial equaliser in the Champions League final victory.
20/23 Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich and Netherlands)
Appearances: 40
Goals: 15It wasn't Robben's greatest year, but he still shone for club and country as Bayern retained their league title and the Netherlands reached the World Cup semi-finals, with a lot of help coming from the outstanding winger.
21/23 James Rodriguez (Monaco, Real Madrid and Colombia),
Appearances: 37
Goals: 16Rodriguez was the revelation of the summer as he shone for Colombia, with his wonder goal against Uruguay a worthy candidate for the greatest World Cup goal ever scored. He secured the 'dream' move to Real where he hasn't made as big an impact as he would've liked, but he has still managed four goals this season.
22/23 Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich and Germany)
Appearances: 23
Goals: 5Schweinsteiger is a somewhat surprising selection despite the obvious plaudits coming with Bayern Munich and Germany. He has played the least games of any player that has made the shortlist, and hasn't made an appearance since the World Cup final due to injury. His talent remains undoubted, but whether or not he did enough to merit a place on the list remains a keen talking point.
Getty Images
23/23 Yaya Toure (Manchester City and Cote d'Ivoire)
Appearances: 41
Goals: 15City's sole representative on the list had a bitter-sweet year, with the Premier League and League Cup double tainted by the row over the aptly named 'birthday cake-gate' and the tragedy of losing his brother Ibrahim Toure during the World Cup after a battle with cancer.
Santos only took over the national team last month after Paulo Bento was sacked due to Portugal's woeful start to their 2016 European Championships qualifying campaign, which saw them lose 1-0 to Albania and suffering a 2-1 defeat to France before finally gaining a win against Denmark.
As well as Ronaldo's homecoming, United fans will also be able to see regular faces in the form of Marcus Rojo and Angel di Maria as the pair were named in the squad alongside Sergio Aguero, Martin Demichelis, Willy Caballero and Pablo Zabaleta of rivals Manchester City.
Tottenham's Erik Lamela and Federico Fazio have also been included in the squad, but one of the biggest talking points is the recall handed to former United striker Carlos Tevez after three years in the international wilderness.
Tevez, who controversially chose to move to City after United elected not to sign him, last played for his country in the 2011 Copa America and was one of the high-profile names left out of the recent World Cup. Not only will Tevez return to Old Trafford, but he will head back to his former stamping ground of Upton Park having saved West Ham from relegation in 2007.
The Hammers faithful will also get to see Javier Mascherano in action once again as the Barcelona defender has been named in the squad, along with other leading Argentinian names such as Javier Pastore and Gonzalo Higuain of Paris Saint-Germain and Napoli respectively.
Last time out Argentina romped home to a comfortable 7-0 win over minnows Hong Kong, but they suffered a 2-0 defeat of arch-nemesis Brazil just days before and they will hope to record victories over Croatia and Portugal to help forget their World Cup final heartache during the summer.

By Kevin Allen, USA TODAY
Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland, not averse to throwing reporters a curveball now and then, has embraced a baseball statistic to show why he believes goalie Chris Osgood is ready for the playoffs.
"In baseball they talk about a quality start if you go six innings and give up three runs," Holland said. "I call it a quality start for goaltenders if they give up two or fewer goals. And I would say, (Osgood) has had a number of quality of starts down the stretch here."
GAME REPORT: Blue Jackets clinch first-ever playoff spot
Osgood led Detroit to the Stanley Cup championship last June, but this season he struggled with consistency to the point that the Red Wings gave him 10 days off in February. But since his in-season sabbatical, Osgood has had eight "quality starts" in 13 appearances and recently coach Mike Babcock said publicly that there is no question that Osgood will be the playoff goalie, even though backup Ty Conklin owns better numbers.
"We won the Stanley Cup with him, so he always had the inside track," Holland said. "It's been an inconsistent year for our team, and an inconsistent year for Chris Osgood. However, in the last month I think his game is where we need it to be heading into the playoffs."
Osgood has given up just three goals in his last two outings — wins against Minnesota and Buffalo, and both of those teams were fighting for their playoff lives.
"I talked to him coming out of the rink in Buffalo and I think he feels good," Holland said.
Holland said he never loses sight of the fact that Osgood has been a member of three Detroit championship teams, and he was the starting goalie on two of those teams.
"At the trade deadline you look for veteran players because we know that once the playoff starts, they get the juices flowing," Holland said. "I think that will be true of Chris Osgood. He's been there before. He won't be overwhelmed by the moment. I think he's ready to go, and that's partly based on how he has played since Feb. 27 and partly based on his experience."
Holland said he believed his team has suffered from "a Stanley Cup hangover" this season, and that contributed to Osgood's struggles. Even today, Osgood's save percentage is .887. It was .914 last season.
"This year we weren't as focused and we weren't as motivated. We were weak defensively," Holland said. "People remember what they want to remember, and people tend to remember more about the goals Chris gives up. But I've known Chris Osgood since he was 18 years of age, and I know through the years, more often than not, he has made a difference in a positive way. You don't win in this league without quality goaltending he's been to three Stanley Cup parades."
Thursday's Key Games, all times ET:
Florida at Atlanta, 7 p.m.: The Panthers have to win this game and beat Washington Saturday, and then get help from the New York Rangers and Montreal, to get in.
Philadelphia at New York Rangers, 7 p.m.: If the Rangers win, they clinch a playoff spot because they have the tie-breaker over Florida.
Montreal at Boston, 7 p.m.: If the Canadiens get one point in their final two games, they are in regardless of what Florida does.
Nashville at Detroit, 7:30 p.m.: Nashville needs to win and get losses from Anaheim or St. Louis.
Phoenix at San Jose, 10:30 p.m.: The Sharks need just one point in their last two games, or Detroit losing a point in their final three games, to clinch the No. 1 seed in the West. They need a win or a Boston loss to clinch the Presidents' Trophy.
Injury update: Detroit defenseman Brian Rafalski is ready to return, but Andreas Lilja (concussion) is still not. Holland said rookie Jonathan Ericsson is definitely in the team's plans for the playoffs. …Matt Cullen (lower body) has missed six consecutive games.…With Francois Beauchemin close to returning, the Ducks are looking at starting the playoffs with Chris Pronger, Scott Niedermayer, Francois Beauchemin and Ryan Whitney making up their top defensive pairs. Not many teams can match that level of talent in the top four.
Notes with playoff implications:
Edmonton: Since reaching the Stanley Cup Finals in 2006, the Oilers now have missed the playoffs for three straight seasons. They were eliminated Tuesday night. Coach Craig Mactavish's job status will be under review as the Oilers try to figure out what went wrong. The biggest personnel decision will be deciding whether to aggressively pursue soon-to-be unrestricted free agent Dwayne Roloson who played well for the Oilers this season. He's 38, and they have Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers waiting to be No. 1.
Who's hot: St. Louis rookie C T.J. Oshie has 11 goals and 22 assists in 41 games since Jan. 1.
Stat of the day: Of the 16 teams that were in playoff position Wednesday morning, the Columbus Blue Jackets are the only team that has never reached the Stanley Cup Finals. The Blue Jackets have never before been in the playoffs. Going into Wednesday night's game, the Blue Jackets needed just one point to clinch a playoff spot.

California, Colorado and Massachusetts Top States for RIAs
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., May 2, 2013 – Long-term mutual fund assets distributed by independent/regional broker-dealers (IBDs) and registered investment advisors (RIAs) continued to grow at a faster pace than the wirehouse channel in the first quarter of 2013, evidenced by new data released by Access Data, a Broadridge Financial Solutions (NYSE:BR) Company, and Strategic Insight, an Asset International company. Accelerated growth for the independent distribution channels versus wirehouse channel was first identified by Access Data earlier this year when the firm released a study showing the IBD and RIA channels adding assets under management at twice the rate as the wirehouse channel. During the first quarter of 2013, the trend continued, with mutual fund assets in the IBD and RIA channels increasing 9% and 8%, respectively, compared to the wirehouse channel, which experienced a 6.5% increase during the quarter.
An infographic depicting the distribution of mutual fund and ETF assets by channel and region is available here.
According to Access Data's Market Intelligence data, first quarter 2013 long-term mutual fund assets under management at IBDs and RIAs rose to $1.54 trillion and $1.24 trillion, respectively, compared to $1.41 trillion and $1.15 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2012. The wirehouse channel accounted for $1.20 trillion in the first quarter, compared to $1.13 trillion in the previous sequential quarter.
"RIAs and IBDs continue to be a driving force behind the growth of retail mutual fund sales, demonstrated by the increase of mutual fund assets under management in these channels at the end of the first quarter of 2013," said Frank Polefrone, Senior Vice President, Access Data. "By having a better understanding of which channels are driving growth, fund firms can more effectively utilize sales and marketing resources to accelerate growth of assets under management. We're seeing our mutual fund and ETF clients take notice of the accelerated growth in the RIA and IBD channel and, as a result, put more dollars toward reaching these channels."
"As investor confidence improved, net flows to stock and bond mutual funds set an all-time quarterly flows record at $193 billion during the first quarter of 2013. Independent advisors were key contributors to this growth, as independent/regional broker-dealers brought in an estimated $43 billion of net inflows to long-term funds in the first quarter and RIAs deposited an additional $26 billion," said Avi Nachmany, Executive Vice President and Director of Research at Strategic Insight. "As the scope of advisor-sold fund distribution continues to expand, the distribution data transparency offered by Access Data, combined with analysis from Strategic Insight, has been widely adopted and has become essential in helping our clients formulate both strategic and tactical action plans, and identify the best growth opportunities by channel, distributor, and product type."
The data also revealed that California, Colorado, Massachusetts and New York are the top states in rank order of assets under management (AUM) by RIAs of long-term mutual funds and ETFs. These states represent more than 40 percent of total mutual fund and ETF AUM by RIAs.
Access Data's Market Intelligence provides fund firms with a complete industry view, tracking more than 90 percent of long-term mutual fund and ETF asset positions and net flows. The offering calculates market share by channel, intermediary and product, performs peer group comparisons and analysis by Morningstar category, and estimates market penetration across multiple data sets, all the way down to the firm and office location.
In June, Access Data and Strategic Insight will release a detailed report on long-term mutual fund and ETF asset flows in the RIA market.

The impressive experiments described in a preprint by Ronald Hanson at Delft and colleagues have been widely reported (for example, here and here) as if to imply that they confirm quantum "spooky action at a distance" (in other words, entanglement). With all due respect to my excellent colleagues (who of course don't write their own headlines), this is not true.
Einstein's phrase is of course too nice to resist. But there's a clue here. Einstein? You, know, the guy who wasn't convinced by the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics that reality is just what we can measure, and that nothing deeper lies "beneath"? Einstein, who suspected that there might be "hidden variables" that restore local properties to the quantum world?
Einstein's "spooky action at a distance" was predicated on that view. It was action at a distance if, via this thing we call (that is, which Schrödinger called) entanglement, an influence at one location (via a measurement) is transmitted instantaneously to another. Only in some kind of local or hidden-variables view do you need to invoke that picture.
Quantum nonlocality – which is what is supported by a violation of Bell's inequality, and what the new experiments now confirm by closing another of the loopholes that could have permitted a violation in other circumstances – is not spooky action at a distance, but the alternative to it. It says that we can't always characterise the properties of a particle in ways local to that particle: its state is a smeared-out thing (to put it crudely) that may be correlated with the state of another distant particle. And so it appears to be. In this view, there is no action at a distance when we make a measurement on one particle – rather, there are nonlocal quantum correlations with the state of another. It is hard to find words for this. But they are not "spooky action at a distance."
I don't expect these words to make a blind bit of difference, but here they are anyway.

Rest in peace
When I was younger, I used to draw. It was my escape.
Decided an old pal from the newspaper as a my model, to practice my portrait, a great actor for jape.
"Why him amongst all others?", questions from everywhere, and pride rape.
Only to know the answer few days later, "Because he was about die..", I look at my hands, "I'm not to blame!"
I've always knew I'm different, I thought, and until this day...

Revelation 7: The Seal of God, the Earth's Corners, and Tribal Errors
September 4, 2012 by 27 Comments
This past Sunday in my Sunday school class, we talked about Revelation chapter 7. Given my sense of humor, you won't be surprised that I mentioned that Revelation 7:2 doesn't mean this: We also talked about how the chapter illustrates problems with both literalism and inerrancy. With literalism, not just because someone reading in English [Read More…]

Seven-year-old Paige Williams only realised her locks had changed colour after swimming with her school at Penlan Leisure Centre in Morrison, near Swansea, South Wales.
Now cruel children are calling her Hulk's Daughter after the TV character.
The schoolgirl is being called names because her hair still has green streaks running through it.
Paige discovered what had happened after lifting her orange rubber swimming cap.
Her family say they have tried everything to get the colour out but nothing has worked so far.
Now they fear she will still be green for Christmas.
Her mum Lucy Williams, aged 24, of Tirpenry, Morriston, said "She has been going to school with vinegar and, lemons in her hair to try to bleach it out.
"We have also been washing it twice a day."
Mrs Williams said she had spoken to pool chiefs about the situation and believed there might have been a problem with chlorine levels.
A Swansea Council spokesman said "The little girl's mother informed the Penlan Leisure Centre manager that her daughter wore her hair in a bobble under a Speedo silicon swimming cap during her school swimming lesson and, when the bobble was removed that evening, a number of green patches were visible.
"It is possible the bobble may have contributed to causing the green colouring, but we also ensured the chemical readings in the water were checked as soon as the matter was reported, and the balance of the water was found to be normal.
"More than 100 other schoolchildren and members of the public swam in the pool on the same day and no similar issues were communicated.
"The little girl in question has used the pool at Penlan on many occasions previously without such a matter arising, and this is the first time a problem of this kind has ever been reported within the city and county.
"Staff have been closely monitoring the pool since the matter was noted and no further incidents of this nature have been reported."

Whatever Pops into My Head-A Collection of Short Stories
Author's Note:
As much as I like to write, I have found that I have a very short attention span. Well I've always known that I have a short attention span however, I realized that it carries over into writing as well. That's why instead of a full-length novel, I'm setting out to write a compilation of short stories.
The title is very fitting because what you will find in here is, quite literally, whatever popped into my head. I could be eating at a restaurant, or flying on a plane and all of a sudden I'll have a thought. That thought grows into a few ideas, and those ideas either get written down in one of my several notebooks, or they get forgotten.
These stories are the ones that I either wrote down, or spent half the day successfully trying to remember. I hope you enjoy!

End-To-End Encryption Battle: WhatsApp vs. Viber
The incident of the FBI is trying to force Apple to decrypt a user's iPhone certainly caused more than the raising of a few eyebrows. Other companies, most importantly IM services like WhatsApp and Viber, have begun providing end-to-end encryption to their users as well. This might seem like a statement of support for Apple, but it can also be interpreted as a means to compete and keep up with one another on all fronts. Today, we take a look at the end-to-end encryption and overall comparison between Viber and WhatsApp.

Employment Collusion Hurts Engineers. Apple, Intel, and Google are GUILTY.
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Engineers!
The following post is from the 106 Miles posterous, which Twitter is deleting.
So I'm moving it over here. Originally written on September 27, 2010.
Stashed in: 106 Miles
I originally wrote the following on September 27, 2010.
106 Miles is a group of the best entrepreneurial engineers in Silicon Valley.
Our mission is to Empower exceptional startup engineers through conversations with other outstanding entrepreneurs and engineers.
So it was with great sadness and disappointment that we learned last week about the mistreatment of their best engineers by Apple, Google, Intel, Adobe, Pixar, and Intuit (aka "The Sad Six").
Those companies remind us of a ravenously amoral murder of crows.
Last week the Sad Six settled with the United States Department of Justice, admitting now that they secretly colluded to not poach the best engineers from each other.
It pays to repeat that:
Some of Silicon Valley's best companies knowingly exploited their very best engineers by blocking other (better) opportunities for them.
This employment collusion was in the best interest of the Sad Six companies but not in the best interest of their finest engineering talent.
Google confirmed that it only applied this collusion to cold calling but in our opinion it's the principle that matters; not only did Google knowingly take advantage of its best engineers, but now it has the unmitigated gall to spin "don't be evil" about the subject.
If we were an engineer at Apple, Google, Intel, Adobe, Pixar, or Intuit, we would think twice about staying at that company now that this information is public. To paraphrase Oprah, we get the behavior we allow.
Engineers come to Silicon Valley from all over the world to work for the best companies in the world. Entrepreneurial engineers come here from all over the world to work for startups. None of those six companies is a startup. So if you're at one of those companies and you're looking for an reason to leave and join a startup, you have one.
Leave. Join Facebook. Join Twitter. Join a startup. Or start a company of your own.
If you want to learn from others who have done so or are doing so, please come to a 106 Miles and talk with other talented technical people working at Facebook, Twitter, and other startups.
Engineers, stand up to companies that exploit technical people, and tell them that they are not the boss of you. Engineers have the power because we build everything.
Sing with us: We see the Sad Six driving 'round Silicon Valley with the engineers we love, and we're like...
Today the Mercury News reports:
Finding strong evidence that Silicon Valley powerhouses such as Apple, Google, and Intel had an "anti-poaching" pact not to raid rival work forces, a federal judge on Friday sent the strongest signals yet those companies face a tough challenge defending allegations raised by tens of thousands of employees.
In a 53-page ruling filed shortly after midnight, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose found the employees have turned up damaging evidence that top executives from those valley stalwarts, including late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, had side deals with each other to take a hands-off approach to stealing each others' most coveted workers, particularly in the engineering ranks.
I remember the TechCrunch article a year ago.
This isn't over.

By Barbara De Lollis, Roger Yu and Larry Copeland, USA TODAY
Already coping with rising fares and disappearing amenities, frequent fliers and corporate travel managers worry that the Delta-Northwest merger will lessen their travel options but hope that consolidated resources will lead to better service.
A survey released Tuesday by the National Business Travel Association showed that 54% of its members believed that customer service of what would become the world's largest airline would be poorer, while 41% said flight frequencies to some markets would worsen. Of the 207 people responding, 46% were concerned about access to smaller U.S. markets.
Only 22% of NBTA members — corporate travel managers responsible collectively for $170 billion in annual spending for about 7 million business travelers — said an industry consolidation was "a positive development." Eighty percent said it was "inevitable."
"They are concerned about the prospects of declining customer service and changes in their travel management relationships with new, merged airlines," NBTA CEO Kevin Maguire says.
Tom Pegg, a risk-management executive from Pittsburgh who frequently flies on the two airlines, says he hopes that the two carriers would develop stable relations with their unions. "I have flown on airlines where labor relations were not good, and it is reflected in customer service, or the lack thereof," he says.
Cathy Ellis, who owns car dealerships in Atlanta and Little Rock, says she has been disappointed by Delta's (DAL) customer service — her latest gripe is the airline's $100 one-way charge to fly her 5-pound Brussels Griffon puppy — and hopes that the merger would lead to improvement. "I think Northwest had great service. But most of the people that work for Delta, especially here in Atlanta, act like they don't care about their customers."
Some in Atlanta, Delta's primary hub, were concerned the merger would cut into the airline's comprehensive flight schedule. Tim Venable, an editor for a corporate real estate association in Atlanta and a satisfied Delta frequent flier, says he doesn't want "to see this merger disrupt my ability to fly non-stop to virtually any destination that my business requires."
Echoing other travelers, Venable says he thinks business travelers will likely encounter higher fares. "As big airlines combine, there are fewer competitors to keep prices reasonable."
Mileage programs are also a big concern. John Steinberg of Baltimore, who has nearly 4 million miles on both Delta and Northwest (NWA), cares so deeply about business-class upgrades that he shifted most of his flying to Northwest because he says the airline is more generous in doling them out to its elite-level fliers.
Differences also exist in program administration. Delta's SkyMiles is faster than Northwest's WorldPerks to delete mileage in accounts with no activity for two years. And Northwest's program charges members $25 to redeposit points to their accounts online, while a low-level SkyMiles member pays $75, according to InsideFlyer.com.
But Randy Petersen, the frequent-flier-mile expert behind InsideFlyer, says most Northwest frequent fliers don't have much to lose in a merger. Since the airlines both operate under the international SkyTeam alliance, they have gradually coordinated their policies, he says — Delta, for example, changed its elite-level requirements to match Northwest.
"At the end of the day, these programs share more than 90% of their DNA," he says.
Some saw a silver lining in the merger. In the NBTA survey, 53% believed the merger would lead to more capacity on international routes, while 35% felt the same about domestic routes. Forty-six percent said the merger would create a more financially stable airline.
Says traveler Pegg: "If it improves service and gives me more flexibility to find direct flights to the cities I have to get to, that would be an asset."

AN enormous triumph has been gained by the Nazi regime. The German Chancellor, perhaps advised against the course he took by his military experts, nevertheless decided on ordering the violation of the Rhineland and the destruction of the Locarno treaty. He has succeeded -- it is no good blinding ourselves to it -- his troops are there, and who is to say that they will be removed?

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Republican Maine Gov. Paul LePage says he meant to use the word "authoritative" — not "authoritarian" — to describe GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
LePage on Wednesday clarified comments he made a day earlier on a radio show. He said Trump's "powerful personality" and "authoritative persona" mean he wouldn't have to "go behind closed doors with community activists to get things done and hurt American people."
The governor blamed reporters for making too much of his slip of the tongue, telling them "I have no respect for you at all" and that they they're out to "destroy people."
LePage also called Democratic President Barack Obama a "dictator" for his use of executive orders.
LePage has opposed the Obama administration's actions on overtime pay and which bathrooms transgender students can use.

Famous Death Row Last Meals

What's really strange is that death row inmates are offered luxurious last meals before the hypodermic needle is plunged into their veins.

The leading edge of a new generation of Palm handhelds (PALM ) has arrived, and the first two products--the Tungsten T from Palm Solutions and the Clie PEG-NX70V from Sony Electronics (SNE )--could hardly be more different from each other. Both run the new OS 5 system software from PalmSource, and both offer the contact list and calendar that have always defined Palms. But the Tungsten, tiny enough to slip into a shirt pocket, is a power tool for the mobile executive, while the Clie is built for fun, taking Sony's passion for multimedia handhelds to a new level.
At first glance, the $499 Tungsten seems to have neither a keyboard nor a way to enter Graffiti--a simplified way of writing the alphabet that software can easily turn into text. The secret is that the bottom inch or so of the case, which carries the four familiar Palm buttons plus a new four-way navigation pad, slides down to reveal a Graffiti entry area. Closed, the Tungsten is just 4 in. by 3 in. and weighs just 5.6 oz.
When open, the Tungsten strongly resembles the Palm m515, which it replaces, in both form and function. A new Texas Instruments (TXN ) processor makes performance a lot zippier, and the screen resolution has quadrupled to 320 pixels by 320 pixels. Storage can be expanded beyond the basic 16 megabytes with SD memory cards. There's a real sound system, including a microphone and a stereo-headphone jack. But to use it as a music player, you'll have to download software from Real Networks (RNWK ).
The other big hardware change--built-in Bluetooth short-range wireless communications--falls well short of its potential, at least for now. In theory, you could sync your data wirelessly with a Bluetooth-equipped PC, but in practice, it's very difficult to set up and will stay that way until Microsoft (MSFT ) adds Bluetooth support to Windows next year. (It's a bit easier on a Macintosh.) You can use the Tungsten with a Bluetooth phone to connect to the Internet, but the unit lacks a decent mail program and Web browsing is no fun on that tiny screen. If you want a phone-Palm combo, get a Handspring Treo.
If the Tungsten evinces elegant minimalism, the $599 Clie goes for a multimedia extravaganza. Like previous Clies, the big handheld--5 1/2 in. long when closed and weighing 8 oz.--uses a flip-open design with a camera built into the hinge. (A model with no camera costs $100 less.) Opening the Clie reveals the basic Palm buttons and a keyboard that offers an alternative to using Graffiti. The display also swivels, so the unit can fold into a tablet or stand, tepee-style, to show pictures or video on the screen.
The Clie features a slot for a WiFi wireless networking card ($150). It lets you browse the Net or fetch e-mail, but the Clie's excellent screen is still too small for efficient Web-page viewing, and the Clie Mail program isn't very good. You can do a wireless HotSync, but this will probably work only within your local network. It's less trouble just to pop the Clie into its cradle. Moreover, even the new Palm operating software has limited networking abilities. One consequence: It is almost impossible to diagnose common wireless-networking problems.
Clies have always specialized in rich content--playing music and movies, running slide shows, and doing other things that we supposed were impossible on a Palm-based handheld before OS 5. One handicap that even Sony's clever engineers couldn't overcome in the older models was a very slow processor. The new version boasts a speedy Intel XScale chip that makes it a pleasure to play MPEG or Macromedia Flash movies, listen to songs, view pictures, and even do a little light photoediting. Sony supplies a vast range of software to take advantage of these features and a MemoryStick slot for the expansion memory you'll want to run them. To manage the applications, Sony scrapped Palm's static display of icons in favor of a Start menu-like list of programs that you can scroll through and select with a jog wheel on the left side. The new approach takes a bit of getting used to, but it works well for the sort of long program list you are likely to have on a Clie.
If you want a high-end handheld that's all business and that you can carry almost without being aware that you have it with you, the Tungsten is just the thing. But if you prefer the biggest, brassiest, and most fun Palm device ever, go for Sony.

Leading south-west firm Clarke Willmott & Clarke has poached a property partner from rival firm Battens.
Nick Francombe will join the Taunton office of the Bristol-based 43-partner firm, sparking a decision by Battens to close its office in the Somerset capital.
Fellow Battens partners Nigel Gosden and Russell Pearce have also decided to leave the office, moving to south-west firm Bevan Ashford and Taunton PI firm Harris Fowler respectively.
With 15 partners and 47 assistants Clarke Willmott & Clarke claims to have the region's largest property team, with clients including Nationwide Building Society and Swan Hill Homes.
Francombe is taking his associate and a number of clients with him to the new firm, although he refuses to name the clients.
He says: "I have been very pleased with the response I have had from my clients, who have mostly indicated that they will follow me."
Head of Clarke Willmott's commercial property team Roger Seaton says: "While we work with major developers, landowners and property investors throughout the country, local knowledge is a key factor for many of our south-west clients.
"Nick and Chris are well known to the commercial property sector in Somerset, and will add to the strength of our Taunton offices."
Andy Marshall, chief executive of seven-office firm Battens, says the Taunton office is closing because the three partners left and consequently the office was no longer viable. He says the firm's clients will continue to be served by the Yeovil office.

Bicheno, just north of the Freycinet Peninsula on Tasmania's stunning east coast, is known for its laid-back lifestyle and outdoor activities. If a holiday relaxing by white, sandy beaches, dining on fresh seafood and playing leisurely games of golf sounds appealing, you'll love Bicheno. More than 700 people live in the town, and water's its lifeblood. Crayfish, abalone and Australian salmon are often brought ashore with the daily fishing catch. You can explore the coast at your own pace in a sea kayak, or pick up some local knowledge on a guided boat trip. Marine life and sea birds abound in Governors Island Marine Reserve and stay dry in a glass-bottomed boat or scuba dive amid sheer rock walls, deep fissures, caves, sponges and sea whips. Tasmania is considered one of the best temperate water dive sites in the world. There is plenty to do on dry land as well. Motor tricycle tours, a Grape Escape wine tour, and walks to Rocking Rock and the blowhole or along the sandbar to Diamond Island Nature Reserve are popular. Penguin tours are one of the town's most popular attractions, while the local wildlife park has a wide array of fauna, including kangaroos, Tasmanian devils and pelicans. Waterfalls tumble to tranquil lakes and river ravines in nearby Douglas&Apsley National Park, while to the south, in Freycinet National Park, you can take the famous walk to Wineglass Bay, one of the best beaches in the world. Formerly known as Waubs Boat Harbour, Bicheno was established as a whaling centre in 1803. The town was named after James Ebenezer Bicheno and expanded in 1854 with the discovery of coal in the Denison River. Bicheno has mild weather, with an average maximum of 21 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit) in January and 14.5 degrees Celsius (48 degrees Fahrenheit) in June. The town is 182 kilometres (113 miles) north east of Hobart via the Tasman Highway.

I put up Statista's infographic on Groupon's earnings below, which included charts of revenue vs. marketing expenses, operating income vs. net income, its stock price, and the most interesting chart of all, gross billings. The chart showed that gross billings declined for the first time on a sequential basis ($1.29 billion in Q2 vs. $1.35 billion in Q1, down 4.4%). They blamed the fall on foreign exchange losses. From the 8K filing:
"Gross billings, which reflects the total amount collected from customers, excluding any applicable taxes and net of estimated refunds, increased 38% year-over-year to $1.29 billion in the second quarter 2012, compared with $929.2 million in the second quarter 2011. Excluding the $75.1 million unfavorable impact from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates throughout the quarter, gross billings growth would have been 47% compared with second quarter 2011."
Another thing you should know is the year-over-year growth in "Gross Billings" has been falling every quarter since Q1 of 2011 (even when excluding FX). This makes sense given the company's exponential growth, but if the sequential (quarter-to-quarter) decline becomes a new trend, it would get even worse. This data is already being priced into the stock. $GRPN is now down 82% from its all time high of 31 smackers (the IPO pop).

Groupon now has so much direct competition (Google Offers, Living Social etc.) that they need to reinvent themselves and get creative again. I see a company called Belly, which is owned by the Groupon founders' venture capital firm Lightbank, competing in this space. The Belly card (or smartphone barcode) lets people earn points and rewards at the places they shop at fast, and even uses their network to promote local deals (or a free pizza for example) to card holders via barcodes in emails. I like it. Groupon has $1.2 billion of cash and no long-term debt, according to the press release. Update: I forgot to mention that Morningstar analyst Rick Summer thought Groupon was worth $8 per share on Fox Business on 11/6/2011. Nice call.
