Franziska Baumann – vocals/electronics - Switzerland
Franziska Baumann, an internationally acclaimed vocalist, composer and sound artist is experienced in a diversity of improvised and composed music. As a vocalist she explores the human voice as a multi-faceted instrument expanding traditional boundaries. She has developed an extensive vocabulary of experimental and extended vocal techniques such as multiphonics and glottal clicks and a variety of unique microtonal, timbre-modifying and percussive vocal techniques that have become her "signature sounds". Her research interests include the voice as a medium between instrument and potentials of human feelings and human society by causing unusual ways of listening and consciousness. As a composer her repertoire is diverse and includes commissions for electroacoustic and improvised projects to experimental radioworks, large-scale site-specific sound environments and installations, all of which are characterized by a very personal language. As "artist in residence" in the STEIM "Studio for ElectroInstrumental Music", Amsterdam, she developed an interactive SensorLab based Sensorglove. Mainly in solo performances she uses the Sensorglove. This interactive SensorLab-based cyberglove (her own development while staying at the STEIM Studio for ElectroInstrumental Music in Amsterdam) gives her total control over her articulations and the acoustics via gestures and movement.
Concert tours have taken her to the Netherlands, Germany, France, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Italy, Spain, South Corea, USA and Canada.

Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø – trombone – Norway
Born 1986 in Trondheim, is a trombonist working mostly within contemporary fields of music. Educated in improvised music and jazz from the music academies in Gothenburg (BA) and Oslo (MA), he is now based in the Norwegian capital. His ambiguous relationship with the trombone has led to the exploration of the boisterous and brassy side of the instrument, as well as it's microscopic and 'electronic' sound possibilities. Utilizing a wide spectrum of playing techniques, from pure long tones to noise and the almost inaudible, he often works with music balancing the intuitive with the precisely constructed. Having toured actively since 2010, he has played at clubs and festivals in more than 20 European countries, as well as Japan. His discography counts over 20 releases, and contains a.o. records in duos with Swedish pianist Rasmus Borg and Austrian sound artist Daniel Lercher.

In fall 2015 his second solo record will be released on the label SOFA, followed by extensive touring in Europe and further afield.
John Porter: alto/tenor saxophone – Canberra (Psithurism trio)
Born in Toowoomba in 1985, John is a formidable young saxophonist with a deep interest in free improvisation. After starting on the clarinet at an earlier age he switched to the tenor saxophone and never looked back. In 2003 John moved to Brisbane to study music full-time, completing a Bachelor of Music in 2005 and a Master of Music in 2008 where his thesis was on the avant garde composer Cornelius Cardew. It was during this time that John received his first exposure to improvised music, participating in a number of groups in and around Brisbane. He has since played with a number of artists including Shoji Hano, Jeff Henderson, Kris Wanders, Madoka Kouno, Elliott Dalgleish, and the Stasis Duo, and appears on recordings released by the [Array] and Homophoni labels. John is currently in a saxophone trio with Richard Johnson and Rhys Butler called Psithurism Trio. He loves playing music to birds and animals in a dialogue with the sound-scapes around him, as it were.
Luc Houtkamp – Saxophones – Netherlands
Luc is a composer/improviser who bridges the gap between different worlds of music. Having a background in jazz & improvised music as a saxophone player, his musical goal is to establish a continuum between improvisation and composition in which the difference between the two dissolves. With the aid of computers and live electronics as well as various forms of music notation his compositions are highly personal in both sound and concept. Stylistic freedom is not a post-modern cliché, but based on his belief that musical style is secondary in importance and they're to serve the expressive quality of the music itself. His main interest in his pieces is the way in which the musicians play together, and how this can be directed by means of composition and the use of computers. After a long-standing career as an improvising musician, Houtkamp established his own POW Ensemble in 2002. Being a flexible unit of musicians with musical backgrounds in jazz, rock, electronic and contemporary music, it soon became the ideal body for the performance of his own composition.
MIA ZABELKA – violin – Austria
MIA is a violinist and vocalist from Vienna, with Czech and French roots, who is regarded as one of the leading 21st century proponents of what is known as experimental violin music is not necessarily what might be expected. She has now developed a unique language based on the de- and reconstruction of the violin's sonic possibilities for over 20 years, expanding the range of the instrument using live electronic devices, preparing it through the insertion of alien objects between or on the strings and innovative performance techniques. The sound of MIA ZABELKA has always been both instinctive and fuelled by a love of melody and microtonality. Zabelka is clearly a woman who knows her instrument – quite literally – inside out, and she's as unafraid of approaching it with a fresh sensibility and an impassioned commitment to exploration as she is capable of drawing upon an unusually broad range of influences. Zabelka loves to make journeys into the unknown and unexpected sonic territories. Her openness to the most varied musical directions and eclectic artistic influences have resulted in collaborations with numerous prominent international artists including John Zorn, David Moss, Pauline Oliveros, Eliot Sharp, Dälek, Audrey Chen, Maria Chavez, Robin Rimbaud aka Scanner, Lydia Lunch and Electric Indigo among many others. .
Since 2015 Mia Zabelka is the president of the Society for Free Improvisation and Experimental Music Austria (SFIEMA).

The Washington State Board of Accountancy is a consumer protection agency that initially qualifies and continues to monitor the professional performance and ethical behavior of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), CPA-Inactive certificateholders, CPA firms, and non-licensee CPA firm owners, serving individual and enterprise consumers in Washington State.
Unlike most state agencies, the Board of Accountancy is not funded by public tax dollars. CPAs, CPA-Inactive certificateholders, CPA firms, non-licensee CPA firm owners and CPA examination applicants pay administrative fees which cover all of the agency's operating expenses.
We are a very small agency with only nine employees. We are here to protect the public interest and provide the following services:

Allan Leighton, chairman of Royal Mail, is on Wednesday expected to spell out a series of radical reforms to Britain's regulators. In what will be interpreted as a sideswipe at Graham Corbett, the postal regulator, Mr Leighton will tell a House of Lords select committee that the Government needs to keep a tighter rein on the regulators.
Since he has been chairman of Royal Mail, Mr Leighton has had a series of run-ins with Mr Corbett's Postcomm. Mr Leighton is now considering whether to launch a judicial review over Postcomm's plans to cap the price at which Royal Mail can charge its competitors to use the postal network. Royal Mail, which last month reported a loss after tax of £559m, claims that Postcomm's plans could cost it between £500m and £1.2bn.
At the Lords' select committee hearing Mr Leighton is expected to make three main proposals: first, he will point out that, at present, if a company wants to appeal against a regulator's decision, the only route is though a judicial review. He will describe this as "the nuclear option", since a review can take months to complete and cost millions. Royal Mail will propose the creation of a new "regulatory disputes panel", which would be part of the Competition Commission. This will attempt to settle arguments between regulator and company in around a month.
Second, Mr Leighton will argue that the duties of the regulator need a clearer definition in law. Royal Mail is aggrieved that Postcomm is attempting to open up the British postal market to competition quicker than even European rules require. Royal Mail believes the principal role of Postcomm should be in the protection of the universal postal service, which ensures that everyone in the country is covered by Royal Mail.
Third, Mr Leighton will argue that there needs to be better scrutiny of the regulators by the Government. At present, select committees and the National Audit Office are the only two bodies that have real powers to investigate the activities of regulators.
The independence of regulators has riled even ministers. Brian Wilson, the Energy minister, famously fell out with the energy regulator Callum McCarthy over the operation of Neta, the electricity trading market. Department of Trade and Industry ministers were also understood to be unhappy with Postcomm's recent decision to restrict Royal Mail's ability to increase the price of a stamp.
While Mr Leighton's comments will by their nature be directed at Postcomm, they will also have a bearing on other controversial industry regulators, such as Oftel, which covers telecoms, and Ofgem, which covers energy.

Euro-Zone Debt: Crisis Mode or Happy Days?
Which chunk of the European government debt markets is giving the best read of the slow train wreck that is the euro-zone crisis right now? It's not obvious.
On the one hand, we can all be happy that Ireland managed to dodge a major debt-market bullet Tuesday, auctioning €1.5 billion in four- and 10-year debt without a hitch.
The Emerald Isle has been in the firing line of late, dubbed "the new Greece" by Citigroup earlier this week as the cost of insuring its debt against default crept worryingly high amid concerns over the solvency of its banks. Its risk of default is nowhere near as high as Greece's was earlier this year, but Citi's point was that rising default-insurance costs for Ireland were dragging costs up for other shaky euro states, too, in a flashback to May's grim bout of contagion.

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. - A surfer in Brevard County is recovering from a shark bite Thursday.
Brandon Taylor, 21, said he had just paddled out in the Sebastian Inlet when a 5-foot bull shark bit down on his arm.
He said he and his friend swam back in and used his wrist leash to create a tourniquet to stop the bleeding.
Taylor said shark bites are something to always be prepared for.
"Be ready for an instance like that and just know in the back of your mind that it can happen at any time and know what to do," Taylor said.
Taylor was rushed to a nearby fire department after the attack.
He ended up with 14 stitches and a scar.
Taylor said he will be OK to surf another day.

Since 1930, the central pillar of the Norwegian legal information system has been the Norwegian Statute Book. This is a collection of all statutes in force, edited and distributed every other year by the Law Faculty of Oslo University. Other important building stones are the general collections of court decisions, published by the Norwegian Bar Association, and the collections of regulations published by The Prime Minister's Office in the Norwegian Legal Gazette. So far these and other collections of legal source material have been printed by traditional methods.
During the latter half of the 1970s, the need for a more efficient way of printing legal material made itself increasingly felt. Simultaneously, ideas of combining modern printing with a machine readable data base were developed at the Norwegian Research Center for Computers and Law. The Center, being a branch of the Law Faculty, was in an excellent position to influence the publisher of the Statute Book. As a result, the Faculty decided to establish an internal service, called Lovdata, the task of which should be the conversion of the Statute Book into a machine readable medium. As a side-effect, a data base of statutes in force would be established.
It was obvious, however, that Lovdata represented a tool which might be used for more ambitious purposes than the mere printing of statutes. Two keywords suffice: processing of other types of legal source material; operating a computer-based system for legal information. For several reasons, it was considered sound policy to shape Lovdata as an independent structure and to give it a spider-like function in the web of Norwegian legal information. The Faculty therefore approached the Ministry of Justice, which took a keen interest in the reform of the legal information system, and which had already manifested this interest through the creation of a Legal Information Council. The outcome was the establishment of the independent foundation Lovdata.
This booklet contains the four most important documents set up during this process. Three of them are official: TheAgreement between the Law Faculty and the Ministry of Justice, the Regulations for the Lovdata Foundation, and anAide-memoire drawn up by the Ministry as background for the Agreement and the Regulations. The fourth document is a paper written by Mr. Trygve Harvold, intended for publication in a special issue of the American Computer/Law Journal. Mr. Harvold has been in charge of Lovdata since it came into being under the auspices of the Law Faculty. In his paper he discusses some of the basic problems encountered in connection with the structuring of legal information systems in the computer age.
Lovdata represents a blend of different, and even to some extent conflicting, ideologies. Many of its tasks pertain to the public sector, and it cooperates closely with the authorities. There are strong ties between the institution, the Law Faculty and the legal research community. Financially, it must survive in a competitive market, and its dealings with its customers, public as well as private, are on a strictly commercial basis. In order to secure the independence of the institution, the governing function is shared between Administration, Faculty, Judges and Practicing Lawyers.
We have thought that it might be of interest to present the Lovdata experiment to an international audience. Although practical solutions of this kind are seldom fit for export, the scheme highlights one way of solving an administrative - and one may even say constitutional - problem.
The underlying ideas may, we hope, give inspiration to others who are striving to achieve harmonization of public and commercial interests involved in legal information.
Knut S. Selmer
Chairman of the Lovdata Board.

For the eight remaining teams in the 2010 NCAA Tournament, only one win seperates them from a berth in the College Cup in Santa Barbara, Calif, next weekend.
It's been a tournament relatively free surprises, as seven of the top eight seeds have advanced to the Elite Eight. Only No. 10 Michigan, which upset No. 7 South Carolina to extend its winning streak to eight games, crashed the party.
In the first game of the weekend, No. 4 North Carolina welcomes No. 5 Southern Methodist on Friday night. Despite their lofty seed and advancement in the tournament, the Tar Heels are struggling, winning both of their games via penalty kicks. An offense that managed more than a goal and a half per game has scored just one in its last three matches. Senior Michael Farfan is still working back to full strength after a midseason injury.
It isn't all bad news for the regular-season Atlantic Coast Conference champion. The defense, led by possible first-round draft pick Jalil Anibaba, has made up for the offensive woes by allowing only three goals in the last eight games. Enzo Martinez, who equalized with nine seconds left in regulation in the third round against Michigan State, has been clutch late in the season, while Scott Goodwin has quietly become one of the better goalkeepers in the ACC.
Southern Methodist is a team flying well under the radar. With no standout prospects, coach Tim McClements has racked up a 16-2-1 record, and the Mustangs are a legitimate threat to break into the Final Four. SMU's offensive attack, which has racked up 43 goals this season, is led by Juan Castillo and Arthur Ivo, who have 10 and nine goals, respectively.
The Mustangs' defense is allowing well over a goal per game, though. The Mustangs have gone into overtime six times this season and have won all six, including a penalty-kick victory over No. 12 Creighton last Sunday.
No. 8 UCLA will take its abundance of young talent on the road to take on still-undefeated No. 1 Louisville on Saturday. The Cardinals have been perhaps the surprise of the season, capturing the Big East title and rising to the top of the rankings after a preseason ranking of No. 20. Louisville's strength can be chalked up to its diversity in scoring threats, with 42 goals coming from 12 players. Dylan Mares, the only freshman in the starting lineup, is Louisville's top scorer with eight goals. The defense has been stout as well, conceding just 13 times this year.
An exciting attacking philosophy and a lineup peppered with several exciting underclassman has made UCLA one of the most appealing, yet at times inconsistent, teams in the nation. Freshman attackers Victor Chavez, Kelyn Rowe and Reed Williams are a potent offensive trio, combining for 20 goals. Sophomore Matt Wiet and freshman Joe Sofiahas anchor the Bruins' back line. UCLA's youth and inexperience was put on full display with a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Indiana in September, but a couple of three-goal victories over Oregon State showed the kind of offensive potential this team has. UCLA is riding an eight-game win streak, but it will be interesting to see how the team deals with the cross-country journey.
Pre-season favorite No. 3 Akron welcomes No. 6 California, the Pac-10 champion and another West Coast traveler. It's a matchup with plenty of future Major League Soccer talent on the field, with nine players on SBI's Big Board participating. The Zips were unbeatable early in the season, dispatching Tulsa, North Carolina, Creighton and Michigan with relative ease, but a draw to Ohio State and a loss to Cleveland State raised questions of Caleb Porter's side.
The list of professional prospects is overwhelming. Freshman Darren Mattocks has scored 18 of the Zips' 58 goals this season. The Jamaican freshman shares the field with possible top-pick Darlington Nagbe, Kofi Sarkodie, Michael Nanchoff, Perry Kitchen, Zarek Valentin and Anthony Ampaipitakwong. If Akron is to safely advance to its second-consecutive College Cup, it'll need to get over its recent penchant for letting in second-half goals.
California's strength lies in its stingy defense, which will have to be in top form to compete with Akron. Goalkeeper David Bingham and defender A.J. Soares are two highly sought-after prospects and are part of a unit allowed less than a goal per game (.740). California's offense has four players with at least five goals, and Davis Paul leads the Golden Bears with eight. Coach Kevin Grimes likes to flood the box on corner kicks and set pieces, so California will have to be wary of the speedy Akron counterattack. California is also riding a six-game winning streak which includes four victories in overtime.
No. 2 Maryland faces off against No. 10 Michigan in an intriguing matchup between two red-hot teams. The Terrapins are winners of 15 straight thanks in large part to goalkeeper Zac MacMath. The 6-foot-2 Florida native has a .838 save percentage and has allowed only 12 goals this season in conjunction with a back line led by Ethan White and Taylor Kemp. A three-pronged offensive attack consisting of Casey Townsend, Jason Herrick and Matt Kassel has led Maryland to an NCAA-best 59 goals.
he only team perhaps hotter than Maryland is its opponent, Michigan. Breakout freshman star Soony Saad has led the Wolverines, a bubble team at the end of October, to a Big Ten championship and an upset of South Carolina in the last round.
Saad is second among the nation's goal scorers to Penn State's Corey Hertzog, tallying 19 goals in 22 games, helping the Wolverines' offense rise to eighth in the nation. Despite its recent success, Michigan's defense remains a huge question mark. The back line, which is ranked 125th, has kept a clean sheet only four times this season and surrendered seven goals to Akron earlier this season. Still, Steve Burns' men are playing with a lot of confidence and the matchup looks poised to produce plenty of goals.
NCAA Elite Eight Schedule
No. 5 Southern Methodist at No. 4 North Carolina, 7 p.m.
No. 10 Michigan at No. 2 Maryland, 1 p.m.
No. 6 California at No. 3 Akron, 4 p.m.
No. 8 UCLA at No. 1 Louisville, 7 p.m.

text: DALLAS, Aug. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] received a $308 million contract modification from the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command for hardware and services associated with the combat-proven PATRIOT Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missile Segment program. In addition to Fiscal Year 2013 missile and command launch system production for the U.S. Army, the contract marks the first Foreign Military Sale of the PAC-3 Missile to Kuwait. Kuwait is the sixth international customer for the PAC-3 Missile. The contract includes production of 244 hit-to-kill PAC-3 Missiles, 72 launcher modification kits and associated tooling, as well as program management. This is the 14 th production buy of the PAC-3 Missile Segment by the U.S. government. " Kuwait's purchase of PAC-3 Missiles will provide its defense forces with a superior air and missile defense capability," said Richard McDaniel, vice president of PAC-3 Missile programs at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. "This is another example of the growing global interest for the PAC-3 Missile's capabilities." In 2009, Taiwan became the fifth international customer for the PAC-3 Missile, joining the Netherlands, Germany, Japan and the United Arab Emirates in fielding the system. Production will take place at Lockheed Martin's manufacturing facilities in Dallas and Lufkin, Texas; Chelmsford, Mass.; Ocala, Fla.; and Camden, Ark. Deliveries will begin in 2014. Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor on the PAC-3 Missile Segment upgrade to the PATRIOT air defense system. The PAC-3 Missile Segment consists of the PAC-3 Missile, a highly agile hit-to-kill interceptor, the PAC-3 Missile canisters (each of which hold four PAC-3 Missiles, with four canisters per launcher), a fire solution computer and an enhanced launcher electronics system and launcher support hardware.

Anti-clericalism has been a constant factor in the history of liberalism.
In the early 20th century, France, then under the control of the liberal French parties, passed legislation outlawing Catholic religious orders, depriving nuns of occupations and driving the religious orders out of France. In 1870, German liberal parties waged the Kulturkampf, resulting in the imprisonment or exiles of most Catholic bishops and priests. Mexico waged a war filled with atrocities against priests, and the poor who supported them, in the 1920s in the name of anti-clericalism.
This is, as they say, "serious shit" if history is any guide.
"This polarization is worrisome. Up till now, America has been spared the bitterness of religious politics. Unlike some countries in Europe, we have not had clerical and anti-clerical parties. True, particular religious groups have gravitated toward one or another political party. In New England, for example, Irish Catholics were historically Democrats and mainline Protestants Republicans, a conflict memorialized in films like John Ford's The Last Hurrah.
But we have never had secular and religious parties as such. Both parties saw religion, in general, as a good thing, and religious liberty as a fundamental American value. Tocqueville noticed this and found it refreshing. "In the United States," he observed, "if a politician attacks a sect, this may not prevent the partisans of that very sect from supporting him; but if he attacks all the sects together, everyone abandons him, and he remains alone."//

If you are looking for a U.S. friendly casino, Caesars technically fits the bill, but odds are that you may not meet the requirements. Confusing? Well, it's actually pretty simple. Caesars is open to U.S. players, but only to those who are located in New Jersey. Besides having to be physically located in the Garden State, you also need to have a New Jersey IP to be able to register an account and play for real money. This may be a bummer for those living elsewhere, but it's fantastic for the casino fanatics in Jersey.
Online casino gaming for New Jersey residents

After you make your first deposit, you will be eligible for a 100% Welcome Bonus up to $300 – a nice amount to get your feet wet.

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
A divorce lawyer helps you if you no longer want to be married. Whether you want a legal separation or the marriage ended, divorce lawyers assist you to arrange financial and family matters, typically in a negotiation with your spouse's lawyer. Alimony, child custody, child support, and a fair division of community assets (like who keeps the house or how your checking and savings accounts are divided) are matters that a divorce lawyer is trained to help determine.

"I note Zlatan Ibrahimovic is to appear on a Swedish postal stamp," writes Neil Hutchinson. "He's presumably not the first player to be given this honour but are there any other notable names from football to be found on the front of the world's envelopes?"
Indeed there are. But of particular note to Zlatan might be the fact that both Cristiano Ronaldo (in Rwanda) and Lionel Messi (also in Rwanda but also in Mozambique) got there first. And nor is the Paris St-Germain striker the first Swede to get the honour. A set released to coincide with Euro 1992 featured Gunnar Nordahl edging towards Phil-Jones-face territory, Tomas Brolin tearing away from Lothar Matthäus, and a couple of years later Swedish letter writers could spend a krona or two on Martin Dahlin having his shorts pulled while Klas Ingesson watches on.
And while Ibrahimovic's stamp is a fairly straightforward affair, in Austria back in 2006 it was not just Franz Beckenbauer on a stamp but Andy Warhol's pop art portrait of Der Kaiser.
A trawl of the varied and numerous stamp collecting sites brings up hundreds more, with a particular favourite of ours being the strangely selected collection from the Isle of Man featuring Dennis Irwin's back, Luis Figo's back, David Beckham's back, Thierry Henry's back and Michael Owen's armpits.
But for the nirvana of football-stamp fusion we can do no more than point you in the direction of one of the world wide web's hidden gems – www.footballphilately.com. This collection of British football stamps is well worth a look, as is this blogpost on the 1994 FA Cup collection on the tiny Scottish islands of Great and Little Bernera (which includes presumably the only stamp in the world to feature Ray Parlour in a tracksuit).
And footballphilately.com also features what is surely the greatest football stamp of all time. The Austrian postal service, as shown by that Beckenbauer effort, seems always to have had something of a knack with its sporting stamps and the arrival of the European Championships in the country in 2008 gave them the opportunity to roll out a couple of impressive innovations.
First came the circular stamp designed to look like a 2D version of the official adidas Europass tournament match ball made from the same material as the official adidas Europass tournament match ball. It followed that up with something even better – the Andreas Herzog lenticular stamp. Using the same technology as that most commonly seen on those novelty rulers in museum gift shops, the postal service got footage of Herzog's 1997 goal against Sweden that took the country to the 1998 World Cup. Thanks to the use of 48 still TV images and that groundbreaking lenticular technology the public could both send a letter and watch Herzog's strike from three different angles. But any one thinking of sticking the Herzog stamp on the front of a Christmas card probably had second thoughts – it cost €5.45 and measured 6.5cm by 4.7cm.
"After Di Canio and Holloway departed relegation-threatened clubs relatively early in the season, it seems as if the first action for clubs threatened by the drop is to change the manager," writes Matt Cooke. "In the Premier League era how many clubs have been relegated without resorting to changing their manager at any point during the season?"
There's nothing the Knowledge enjoys more than an in-depth trawl through the dusty annals of football history but on this occasion readers Pete Tomlin and Colin Owens have done all the leg work. Thanks to both.
The results are rather surprising. Of the 64 teams relegated in the (apologies for the following phrase) "Premier League era" 35 stuck by their manager throughout the season while 29 made a managerial change (voluntarily or otherwise).
Here's the full list of relegated teams who did not change manager during the season:
1992-93: Crystal Palace (Steve Coppell), Middlesbrough (Lennie Lawrence), Nottingham Forest (Brian Clough),
1993-94: Sheffield United (Dave Bassett), Oldham Athletic (Joe Royle), Swindon Town (John Gorman),
1994-95: Crystal Palace (Alan Smith)
1995-96: Manchester City (Alan Ball), QPR (Ray Wilkins),
1996-97: Sunderland (Peter Reid), Middlesbrough (Bryan Robson),
1997-98: Bolton Wanderers (Colin Todd), Barnsley (Danny Wilson),
1998-99: Charlton Athletic (Alan Curbishley),
1999-00: Watford (Graham Taylor)
2000-01: Manchester City (Joe Royle), Coventry City (Gordon Strachan),
2001-02: Ipswich Town (George Burley),
2002-03: West Bromwich Albion (Gary Megson),
2003-04: Leicester City (Micky Adams), Wolverhampton Wanderers (Dave Jones),
2004-05: Crystal Palace (Iain Dowie), Norwich City (Nigel Worthington),
2005-06: Birmingham City (Steve Bruce), West Bromwich Albion (Bryan Robson),
2006-07: Sheffield United (Neil Warnock), Watford (Aidy Boothroyd)
2007-08: Reading (Steve Coppell),
2008-09: Middlesbrough (Gareth Southgate), West Bromwich Albion (Tony Mowbray),
2010-11: Birmingham City (Alex McLeish), Blackpool (Ian Holloway),
2011-12: Bolton Wanderers (Owen Coyle), Blackburn Rovers (Steve Kean),
2012-13: Wigan Athletic (Roberto Martínez).
"As of this evening Rangers in Scottish League One are absolutely dominating the competition: P11, W11, D0, L0 GD39 PTS33," writes Yuval Weber. "What is interesting is that seven of the other nine clubs have negative goal differentials and the other two are +5 and +2. Has there ever been a league in which all but one club have negative goal differentials, reflecting a single club that was far too good for the competition and doled out regular drubbings?"
Indeed there has, Yuval. In Brazil in 1906 only the winners of the Championship of Sao Paulo, Germania, had a positive goal difference. Every other side were in the red. Although in this case every other side in fact means only Internacional and Paulistano, with three teams pulling out of what was already only a six-team league before the season's end.
Elsewhere, in Costa Rica in 1944, the champions Orion FC were the only team in the league to have a positive goal difference in a six-team league, with the bottom club Universidad de Costa Rica the only team bar Orion not in the red. And in Guam in 2009-10 only the champions, the aptly named Quality Distributors, and runners-up, Paintco Strykers, scored more than they conceded.
But as the leagues get bigger, it is harder to find similar examples. The best we can do is the Hungarian top division in 1917-18, where only the top four of 12 teams netted more than they conceded over the course of the season.
And on the other side of the coin, the ever wonderful rsssf.com reveals that six teams have won their respective national championships with a negative goal difference. The Brazilians Coritiba FC, Qatari club Al-Rayyan, Walter Ferreti who won the Nicaraguan championship, CD Plaza Amador from Panama and the Taiwanese club Taiwan 2007 all managed it but the most remarkable team to do so must be the 1986 South Korean champions, POSCO Atoms.
In a two-stage tournament they won the first stage but finished second bottom in the next stage. The winners of each stage advanced to play in the final, where POSCO ground out a 2-1 victory over two legs against Lucky-Goldstar Hwangso. Not only did they end up champions with a negative goal difference, over the course of the season they won only six matches, drawing nine and losing seven.
"Have any players ever used a corner flag, a goalpost or an advertising hoarding to attack an opponent?" inquired Pedro Salinas in those sepia-tinged days of 2007.
Step forward Canada's Paul Peschisolido, who flipped a corner flag into an El Salvador player's face during a World Cup qualifier in 1997 and duly picked up a red card for his troubles. "I was kicked a few times and the referee wasn't giving anything, while every challenge we made seemed to result in a foul," explained Pesch afterwards. "I was getting very annoyed and frustrated so I decided to elbow one of their players. It was right in the corner and in fact I elbowed the corner flag into his face."
Martin Keown managed the next best thing in January 2002, chucking a corner flag into the stands during Arsenal's 1-1 draw at Elland Road. Early in the game Keown conceded a corner; as he got up he grabbed the flag and casually lobbed it behind him into the front rows of fans. Despite uproar from the supporters, the FA eventually decided he had not intended to hit them, and did not enforce any punishment.

"The Seattle Sounders have fielded 36 different starting XIs in 37 games this season for various reasons (injuries, suspensions, spurious international call-ups for meaningless friendlies)," writes Simon Smith. "Has there ever been a more unsettled team in top-flight world football?"
"Sunderland v Manchester City at the Stadium of Light has finished 1-0 to the hosts each of the last four times it's been played," writes Michael Peters. "Is there a fixture that boasts a longer continuous run of the same result?"

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Absurdly popular rapper 50 Cent has a new single out, but you've probably never heard it. And if you're watching MTV or tuned in to Power 106, Hot 97 and Wild 94.9, you probably never will.
That's because 50's new collaboration isn't with Timbaland, the Game, or Lil' Wayne, but Puerto Rican duo Wisin y Yandel. And it's in Spanish.
50-Cent is one of a growing cohort of American rappers flocking to the Carribean (and New York) to record with established artists like Daddy Yankee (whose English remixes sometimes land him on MTV), Wisin y Yandel, Zion y Lennox, Aventura, and Luny Tunes, purveyors of the Carribbean's infectious blend of rap, dancehall, and bachata, called Reggaeton. Never heard of 'em? Well, get yourself an education, courtesy of some of America's most popular rappers:
Wisin y Yandel feat. 50 Cent, "Mujeres en el Club"
Daddy Yankee feat. Snoop Dogg "Zona de Gangstas"
Wisin y Yandel, feat. Eve, "Quisiera Saber"

INDIANAPOLIS -- One key issue the Chicago Bears need to resolve is the future of perennial Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs, who stated before the start of last season he either wanted a new deal or to be traded. Briggs has yet to publicly back down from that demand after he led the Bears with 147 tackles in 2011 and was named to his seventh consecutive Pro Bowl.
The 31-year-old linebacker is currently under contract with the Bears through 2013 after he signed a six-year deal in March, 2008. He is due to make a base salary of $3.75 million in 2012 and could pocket an additional $1.33 million in likely to be earned incentives. Briggs' base salary jumps to $6.25 million in the final year of the deal.
At the core of the problem is the fact Briggs pocketed the bulk of his guaranteed money in the first three years of the contract. From 2008-2010, Briggs took home $11.8 million in the form of roster bonuses and made a combined salary figure of $6.445 in 2010. However, the final three years of Briggs' contact do not include any roster bonuses, and the linebacker saw his pay drop to $3.650 million last season, despite maintaining the same high level of performance on the field.
Smith said he briefly spoke with Briggs last week while the two attended funeral services held for the wife of ex-Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris.
"I did have a chance to talk to Lance a little bit," Smith said Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine. "Lance is family to us. Again, you're talking about a guy who's been here every day I've been here, and plays better football every year. He knows how much we like him and want him to be a Bear forever. So yes I've talked to him. Hopefully things are getting better on that front."

Each time I think the President cannot jeopardize American security any further or take his reckless ineptitude to new heights, I am quickly proven wrong.

Jolie finalises adoption of Vietnamese boy
Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has finalised the adoption of a Vietnamese orphan, according to the US-based adoption agency that organised the process.
Jolie has remained out of public view since arriving in Ho Chi Minh City last Wednesday to pick up the three-and-a-half-year-old boy from an orphanage. On Monday she travelled to Hanoi to complete the adoption.
The boy's birth name is Pham Quang Sang, but Jolie has renamed him Pax Thien Jolie - a name that combines the Latin word for peace and the Vietnamese word for sky or heaven.
"The Vietnamese authorities had already cleared the adoption, and the US Embassy approved the adoption on Tuesday," said spokeswoman Laura Feragen on behalf of Philadelphia-based non-profit agency Adoptions From the Heart.
"They will pick up Pax's visa on Wednesday and they are free to go home," she said.
Oscar-winning Jolie, 31, travelled to Vietnam with her five-year-old son Maddox, who was adopted from Cambodia, and two-year-old sister Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia.
She also has a biological child Shiloh Nouvel with actor and companion Brad Pitt.
An online newspaper on Tuesday reported that as Jolie finalised the paperwork, her adopted sons played and communicated by sign language in the lobby of the historic luxury Metropole Hotel in Hanoi.
"Maddox and Sang played in the lobby and they seemed to get along really well," the online VNExpress quoted an unidentified hotel staff member as saying.
"They don't understand each other's language, but they used sign language to communicate."
US officials have declined comment on Jolie's adoption, saying it is a private matter.
Meanwhile the Hollywood entertainment daily Variety reports Jolie and Pitt are set to return to the big screen with lead roles in separate movies.
Jolie is to play a killer-for-hire in an action flick called Wanted alongside actor Morgan Freeman, who won a best supporting actor Oscar for his role in the 2005 Clint Eastwood film Million Dollar Baby.
Pitt will act as an investigative journalist in State of Play, a movie based on a British mini-series, with reporters and police racing to unravel the murder of a politician's mistress.

On the Road to Assisi......
... it is a fascinating place, one of the most visited places in Italy. Short history : this is the birthplace of St Francis and St Clare whose remains are in their respective churches on the property. Assisi is a walled city on top of a hill (in medieval times they were always at war with other cities so they created a wall to protect themselves). Just outside the wall there are two escalators (I know, really!) to help the millions of tourists get up the ...

But there are attractive sights left for us.
