Luxury Florence holidays enjoy the sights of one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. But it's not just its film star looks that make it so popular - Florence is truly the renaissance city, rich in artistic and intellectual heritage.
From Cimabue and Giotto, the fathers of Italian painting, to Botticelli and the universal geniuses of Leonardo and Michelangelo, Florence has inspired generations of influential artists. Luckily, much of the great works and buildings produced by these masters have remained in Florence, at museums like the Uffizi, ready for your grateful appreciation.
Around Piazza del Duomo
The Piazza del Duomo is the queen of Florence's open spaces. Here, the cathedral's splendid vault has recently been restored. Around the Duomo, densely packed streets and squares pulsate with Florence's history and reflect its sophisticated elegance. Close by is Piazza della Repubblica, the ancient heart of the city.
Café society
In the middle of Piazza Vittorio Emanuele stands the legendary Caffè delle Giubbe Rosse, the haunt of writers and artists throughout the 20th-century. This charming café continues to attract both Florentines and visitors alike.
Santa Croce
One of Florence's most captivating quarters is around Santa Croce, a majestic Franciscan church surrounded by medieval streets containing Renaissance palaces, artisans' workshops and neighbourhood markets. The tombs of Michelangelo, Galileo and Machiavelli, are also here.

A wonderful trip made even better by Vanessa, one of the crew. She went above and beyond to insure that we had a great trip!
This was by far my favourite activity i did in cairns. I cannot recommend this crew/company enough. They were so friendly and accommodating and help and encourage you every step of the way. They totally understand how scuba diving can be a bit scary for first timers and they offer one on one tuition/attention in the water before the big...
I absolutely love this tour, the crew was awesome, the food (do not have breakfast at your hotel, because in the boat they have everything).. and the scuba diving I love, they care you very mush, the equipments are very good. You will love this tour I really recommended!
I got this tour through a travel agent and I was utterly disappointed. The day of the tour I made my way to the Terminal and the company was the last one to openthe check-in. We board and quickly it seems there is not enough (decent) seating space for th 75 passengers. Breakfast is allright and lunch pretty good. However...
Fantastic boat, fantastic crew, fantastic reef stops and fantastic food!! Staff were so informative and helpful! My boyfriend can't swim and they made sure he felt as ease in the water when snorkelling! The glass bottom boat is also great! Lunch and afternoon snacks were also great! The reef stops were fab seeing loads of fish and corals! Although everything...
Wow the barrier reef as it is but the crew made it even better so friendly full of knowledge and laughs . Amazing food all day such great value for money ! A must for any traveller
Snorkelling , Glass bottom boat, Semi submarine ride, the fabulous coral reef, the fauna, fishes of all shapes , sizes and colours. Two eyes weren't enough to feast on this sumptuous sights. Never miss an opportunity for anything else.
an interesting and informative trip to one of the smaller reef trips you can do, dont forget to do the glass bottomed boat trips over the reef.
Walking up to collect my ticket I knew I was in for a treat, after being warmly greeted by a staff member at the registration desk I was directed to the quaint Ocean Free yacht.

Amstat News asked three review editors to rate their top five favorite books in the September 2003 issue. Statistical Methods for Detection and Quantification of Environmental Contamination was among those chosen. This groundbreaking volume describes the statistical theory that underlies the detection and quantification of environmental pollution both in the laboratory and in the field. It presents the foundation of relating measured concentrations to true concentrations and the development of intervals of uncertainty for true concentrations, and it presents a comprehensive review of the problem of estimating thresholds at which detection and quantification decisions can be made reliably. The authors demonstrate the use of analytical measurements in making environmental impact decisions and in comparing environmental data to regulatory standards and naturally occurring background concentrations. Taking the next step in a major evolution in the way environmental impact decisions are made, Statistical Methods for Detection and Quantification of Environmental Contamination: Presents statistical methods that allow the earliest possible detection and quantification of contaminants Describes procedures applicable to all environmental constituents Covers numerous state-of-the-art approaches Includes case studies demonstrating practical applications of these approaches An indispensable handbook for scientists and engineers involved in environmental monitoring programs, this book is also an important resource for public health officials, waste facility managers, regulators, statisticians, and analytical chemists.

Democrat Ed Perlmutter, who represents the Denver suburb of Aurora, said the White House alerted him of the tragedy, in which an alleged lone gunman killed 12 people and wounded 59 others at a showing of "The Dark Knight Rises." "I mean, we finished voting late last night, and then to have a psychotic son of a bitch like this do something," a stunned Perlmutter told 850 KOA News Radio in Denver. "And I'm sorry for the cussing. You know, it just is boggling to my mind." Perlmutter's rage is doubly acute given that Aurora is just 15 miles (32 kilometers) from Columbine High School, where two students went on a 1999 shooting spree that left 13 people dead before they killed themselves. Perlmutter also released a statement through his congressional office, saying he was "stunned and furious" over the shooting at the cinema. "Colorado is not a violent place, but we have some violent people," he said. "We are a strong and resilient community, and we will lean on each other in the days, weeks and months to come." Police said they apprehended suspect James Holmes, 24, when he surrendered without incident after the massacre, during which he was dressed in full black body armor. © 1994-2012 Agence France-Presse Share Save Facebook Share on Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Read More: massacre Batman shooting incident /overseas/05/23/17/watch-panic-as-explosion-rocks-ariana-grande-concert/news/05/23/17/p350-k-halaga-ng-shabu-nasamsam-mula-sa-6-na-suspek/news/05/23/17/jeep-sumalpok-sa-bus-sa-quezon-city-drayber-ligtas-pero-tumakas/news/05/23/17/6-preso-nakatakas-sa-san-pedro-laguna/overseas/05/23/17/sterling-retreats-after-manchester-blast-stocks-steady

Mix Brasil
The city of Rio de Janeiro has just won a mega center that will serve the LGBT population in several areas for legal, psychological, and safety matters.
The Reference Center against Homophobia, Religious Intolerance and Discrimination Against Patients with HIV was inaugurated this last Thursday - July 1st, in an entire floor of Central do Brazil, in downtown Rio.
"It's a milestone. It is a concrete response by the state in view of the violence against people belonging to this segment of society" said Claudio Nascimento, superintendent of Individual and Collective Rights in the State Government, at the inauguration. "It is the first state in Brazil to have a space that focuses attention on these matters, and we will make concrete actions in support of these groups, who have won a framework for the protection and promotion of their causes," added Claudio.
Besides Claudio, the Minister of Environment Carlos Minc and the mother of young Alexander Ivo, 14, murdered by homophobes in São Gonçalo, also attended. "Rio is composed of a wonderful cultural, sexual and religious biodiversity, said Carlos Minc. "Cases like Alexander Ivo should be symbolic and that impunity is a tragedy," he added.
Campaigning is working. Is the flag beginning to heal?

Everything on the car is in working condition except for the engine. The engine went a couple of weeks ago and I don't want to go through the trouble of getting a new one so I'm selling the car as a parts car. But as a full unit, I'm not selling individual parts. I just put in a new transmission that has under 20,000 kms. 16" rims. All other parts are refurbished or original.

It isn't often that a college soccer game headlines a day's action during the weekend, but today's South Florida/West Virginia tilt has something for all.
Along with being two of the country's top teams, South Florida and West Virginia feature some of the best pro prospects in the nation, with South Florida goalkeeper Chris Blais and West Virginia centerback Eric Schoenle among the most highly-regarded prospects in college soccer.

There's just one game on the MLS slate today, and while Chicago and New England aren't really in the mix for the playoffs, the fire boast red-hot striker Dom Oduro as he looks to push himself into the Golden Boot conversation.

Baby Bradley with a full 90 and an assist. Discuss:
depressed in Chester
how is it that after all this crowing about how well Philly is doing and how poor NY is doing the NY Red bulls are only one point behind Philly?
Bradley looked solid & confident today and fit well into the conservative Cheivo game. Lots of good passes & very few bad. He took cheivo's corners and free kicks – provided a nice corner for first header goal & had a foot in the 2nd goal. Compared to last game, he isn't moving forward much. Maybe he's been told to stay back and not get in the way of the attacking mids & forwards. Which is ok – he played well as the deep midfield distributor.
Expectations and price of squad. Good seasons mean different things to different squads.
Dylan B T
Cool, thanks for that update. This is the kind of brief summary it would be great to see SBI start including in their AA roundup, instead of just "MB went 90 MINUTES and had an ASSIST" which doesn't tell you all that much.
T Daddy
It's really hard to not say something sarcastic directed towards the MB haters.
BTW…very nice reporting.
Really poor technique on the assist. If not for that his teammate would've scored two goals.
and a hockey assist on the winner. He made some bad passes, but I thought he looked okay compared to the rest of the team. Especially after his 2nd half contributions. And Chievo are joint top, apparently.
I also enjoy that AZ are alone at the top after a game against Feijenoord where they dominated possession (Jozy didn't get much service, but there was definitely an American flag with his picture on it…). Both games reminded me of Dortmunds 2 goal comeback from yesterday, and both games (i was watching simultaneously) had 2:1 final scores after an early deficit. Like the Dortmund game.
I thought he had a reasonable number of bad passes, I just felt that they were typically 'good ideas' or were forced by the failure of safer plays to open up. But the feed I watched said 'tiri fuori' which google translate made sound like he was a weak link. In short, assist + hockey assist= not bad.
Thanks for the useful summary, Predicto. Couldn't watch it myself. However, I did see that Bradley received a "7" rating from the Italian experts, tied for second-highest on his team. And, what the heck, he got another 90 for a team in the top half of SA!
Hey, say what you will, but in his two starts, Chievo has two victories against teams ranked higher than them. Of course it is a team effort, but they were not getting the results before that. is it causal.. to be determined.
That's more of a statement about how bad the Eastern Conference is.
Herculez scores again. I believe his strike to minutes on the pitch rate must be one of the best in Mexican Liga.
MB90 had the most touches on either team according to whoscored.com: http://www.whoscored.com/Matches/542837/Live. Surely this must have been an accident giving him the ball so many times.
Only saw the last 30 minutes or so (after the red). MB with a fantastic corner. I'd never even seen him take a corner before. He hits them well. He sat deeper than his CM partner, playing the same, conservative passes the rest of the team plays, but occasionally trying to loft a deep ball. One of them was poor, switching fields and turnimg the ball over. The coach seemed to be upset as it would not have been dangerous even if it had been successful: classic high risk, low reward. He also had a beautifully weighted ball to the endline, though, leading to the second goal. It stopped perfectly for the winger to make the cross.
If he can stay back, clean up defensively, distribute responsively, yet still be able to provide an extra incisive, long ball element to the offense, he can be very valuable to Chievo. This would also be a nice role with USMNT, freeing up Stu or whoever to get forward a bit more.
Yeah, it's interesting that Cheivo has 3 new summer midfielder additions who are in the first 11 – Badley, Përparim Hetemaj, and Rinaldo Cruzado. Fans on Cheivo forum seem to think Cruzado a skilled ballhandler and unpredictable, but not physical enough. They love Hetemaj who is 'running, wrestling and receiving blows without ever stopping'. They like Bradley, like his conservative physical play and passing, but think he's slow.
But it looks like Bradley has won the R-Mid slot for now, so time will tell.
Is Bradley playing R-Mid or a right side center mid?
Or perhaps BB is keeping score for Chievo while waiting to begin his new gig in Egypt?

Scratched and stained fiberglass sink
I have a fiberglass kitchen sink that has been stained and discolored and scratched due to the wrong kind of product and materials used. Is there anything that can be bought at Home Depot or the like to repair this sink?
Is it fiberglass or solid surface?? If solid surface, it can be sanded and buffed to look like new. If fiberglass, there are some gelcoat treatments, but they don't work all that well. Actually, I am not aware of anyone that makes a fiberglass sink, but I have been wrong before. A sink is a harsh enviornment.
Just Bill
Actually they do make fiberglass sinks. I've only dealt with one and it was junk. Customer got it somewhere and he had to take it back twice to get one that was flat enough to use.

While I think there's some mileage in the idea of reversed time phenomena, they do require a superimposed parallel universe, as I think you go on to mention
The problem with reversing time in our time dimension is that there appears to be no origin from which the reversed time can start from i.e. our 'normal' time has an origin in the Big Bang, but a reversed time flow would seem to need to start from the end of the universe, and as far as we can tell, there's nothing to suggest that time will ever stop, even if entropy leads to the eventual flattening of all energy. Hence, setting the origin for reversed time at the opposite end of 'our' time dimension seems to be impossible as 'our' time dimension doesn't appear to have an end.

Split-Brain Daydreams
Frightened escalation of conscious daydreams.
The day looms when all brains are severed in two.
We've forgot the symbols from the past,
speaking with every terrible regression.
Every bit is truth,
violent emotion and shifting essence of all.
That push from deep inside your stomach.
Your heart burns and your chest will cave.
Even though you've forgot.
Mystics, prophets, holy spirit speakers.
Tapped into cosmic exuberance,
trending in star-lit eyes the illusion of fate.
For forces only shove in the dark, quiet cathedral caverns.
Your dreams are unyielding,
so drown the pages in red.
Seek only things not known.

[Note: the contents page for this series can be found here. The previous entry, starting chapter 16, can be found here.
This entry concludes chapter 16.]
[The previous entry ended with: "If the proposition 'reactions produce actions' is nonsense, then either atheism is false, or we might as well treat it as false because it can never, in any legitimate way, get going even as a live proposition (much less as a possibly cogently defended one). Atheism could still be sheerly asserted; but a sheer assertion is not a reliable conclusion upon which to form a subsequent belief."]
There are two categories of defense against this deduction that we should reject atheism being true.
da.) The proposal 'reactions produce actions' is not nonsensical.
db.) Defensible arguments (such as, for instance, atheism theories) can be produced purely by automatic reactions without actions.
Adherents of the first defense would proceed by one of the general following methods (with variations):
da1.) The terms 'reaction' and 'action' are proposed or demonstrated to be so vague and subjective that no distinctively useful definition of them can be formed, therefore aborting the question of whether it is nonsensical to say one comes from the other.
da2.) Reactions really exist, but actions are not distinctive from them, as they are merely our subjective perception of reactions, considered to be something 'other than reactions' purely for convenience in certain discussions. Therefore, it is a non sequitur to claim that 'reactions produce actions' is nonsensical.
da3.) Reactions don't really exist, all events being purely action; what we call reactions are only a term of convenience for particular discussions. Therefore, it is a non sequitur to claim that 'reactions produce actions' is nonsensical.
da4.) Real actions and real reactions both exist; but we can successfully argue that reactive systems produce actions. Therefore, it is not functionally impossible for reactions to produce actions, thus undercutting by demonstration the grounds for my attempted deduction.
da4 will be saved for last: although the principles of my counter-rebuttal to it are simple, they are also subtle and will require some extended discussion on my part.
da3 succeeds by affirming that the IF can behave with real purposes, which is the same as affirming the truth of some type of not-atheism (perhaps pantheism); so if successfully proposed and defended, it would refute atheism rather than defend it.
da2 is essentially the same as defense b above, as it denies real actions altogether, leading to the question of whether the lack of real initiative can still result in cogent arguments. Therefore my counterdefense against it will be equivalent to my reply to defense b, to which I will return later.
da1 might seem a worthwhile tactic; but its feasibility is sharply limited by inconsistent practical application. Specifically, it would be contradictory for an atheist as 'an atheist' to claim that the distinction between action and reaction is only our subjective perception of an otherwise inscrutable property of reality--because the atheist as an atheist proposes that ultimate reality doesn't instigate, doesn't initiate, has no purposes: doesn't act. There is no God, he will say, only a blindly automatic mechanism, which may have random events but those random events by their utter randomness are also unpurposive. [See first comment below for footnote here.]
But the moment the atheist proposes that reality doesn't initiate events--and as an 'atheist' he will have to propose this or some polysyllabic variation--he has simultaneously affirmed that he understands and accepts quite robustly a necessary and real distinction between actions and reactions. If he didn't, his own profession of 'atheism' would be meaningless.
The da1 defense, therefore, would not bulwark atheism if it could be successfully proposed and defended. But perhaps it would bolster some type of agnosticism.
Maybe; but the person using this defense must consider whether she actually accepts the consequences of applying this defense successfully. And I think this will always be untenable. The moment the agnostic defender attempts to employ this defense--and if she isn't going to employ it, then there is no good reason to make it--she will be tacitly refuting herself; for she will be making a tacit but quite necessary exception of the proposal 'reactions and actions are only subjective descriptions we perceive of events' in favor of her own deployment of the tactic to defend against (for instance) an encroaching not-atheism.
[Note: What the agnostic defends against, however, makes no difference; she could be defending against an encroaching atheism or cosmological dualism instead. That she will employ agnosticism to counter a move one way or the other is the main point I'm making here.]
She will not be able to maintain that this defense is usable without simultaneously requiring (whether she mentions it or not) that her own thoughts definitely have a certain quality or characteristic pertinently related to the distinction between action and reaction.
'Reactions into actions is nonsensical,' I say, for example. 'And we require actions to be real for our own arguments to have even the bare possibility of cogency. Therefore, ultimate reality--the IF--must be capable of actions, not only blindly automatic non-purposive behaviors. Therefore, God, the ultimate Act-er, exists.' [See second comment below for a footnote here.]
'That argument might work,' the agnostic may say, 'except it depends on there being a real distinction between actions and reactions. Maybe there is, but our perception of an event as "action" or "reaction" is utterly subjective, therefore unreliable as to the actual state of the event. Therefore, we cannot be sure that any given event really contains an action or is "only" a set of reactions. Therefore, any event you propose as being necessarily an action, cannot in fact be accurately said to be "necessarily" an action; and as you require certain abilities of ours to be "necessarily" actions for your argument to work, then your argument fails because it cannot get off the ground.'
'That looks like quite a good reply,' I return. 'Too bad there is evidently no way to tell whether it was produced in you by the non-rational environment around you; or whether you might have contributed something yourself, instead, such that something other than non-rational events took place in your mind as you said that. So, why should I bother to give your defense the time of day?'
'Because...' begins the agnostic (perhaps a little heatedly!)
'You can stop right there,' I interrupt. 'Why should I accept that your explanation for your defense might itself be something other than a purely reflexive unthinking response? You yourself require that your own utterances should be accepted as being functionally distinguishable in a real and truly distinct fashion between initiation on your part and blindly non-rational responses on your part. For your own defense to have any even merely apparent success as an argument per se, you must make a tacit exception in favor of you yourself and your argumentative defense. You necessarily presume the truth of my contention, that such distinctions are real and detectable, in order to get your opposing contention off the ground.'
In refuting this type of agnostic defense, I am not merely arguing that someone hasn't lived up to her own standards. I fully agree, for instance, that procrastination is an ethically wrong behavior: a facet of gluttony. I also happen to procrastinate quite a bit. (There is a very good chance I was procrastinating from doing something else while drafting this chapter, for instance!) This doesn't change the fact that I consider procrastination to be an ethically wrong behavior, and in my honest moments I emphasize this and ask people to realize that when I procrastinate I am misbehaving, whatever justification I may attempt to give at the time.
If my imaginary agnostic wishes, she may try the same tactic: 'No matter what I may seem to imply on occasion, being only human; please remember that it is in fact impossible for us to distinguish and apply a true and useful distinction between action and reaction.'
Very well; but then so much for any attempt at justifying why I should pay any more attention to her defense than I would pay to a rushing brook or to the cackles of a gaggle of geese (depending on the aesthetic quality of her voice!) Whenever she attempts to employ her defense, which assigns a tacit possibility of distinctive value to it, I will remind myself that she has asked me to disregard any tacit claims of that sort which ride along with any of her propositions; because she wanted me to understand that she is only human and so often makes the mistake of assigning the possibility of definite value to her own statements!
In point of fact, she cannot jump off her shadow, either. Whatever she says, she will continue to require that her own utterances and mental behaviors are practically and usefully and (potentially, at least) truly capable of being graded according to the level of actions and reactions they contain, with consequent conclusions about the relevance of her remarks--including perhaps most tellingly her own practical opinion of their relevancy.
This being the case, the defense of action/reaction inscrutability can never be anything better than a daydream--once the principles of the defense are actually applied and followed through.
The refutation I have just employed may also be leveled against the fourth variety of defense 'a' (which general defense was 'reactions into actions is not nonsensical'). This fourth defense (da4) attempts to conclude, via experiment or logical argument from principles, that sometimes reactions do produce actions. As my reply to this contention shall draw on points I have previously developed in this chapter, and as my reply to defense 'b' ('cogent human thought can take place without any actions whatsoever') will feature essentially the same tactic--and as this chapter has already been rather lengthy--I will continue my discussion in the next chapter.

Random events are themselves causes of effects which, being determinately caused, are not themselves random. A lightning bolt may strike randomly, but the thunder that follows is determined by the actual character of the bolt and actual local atmospheric conditions. (Actually in both cases random and determinate variables both play a part, but I am oversimplifying a bit for purposes of principle illustration.) I mention this to clarify that I am not trying to paint atheist philosophers as claiming all events to be utterly random and unpredictable.

Second footnote:
I would rather use the word "actor", but that word is too closely linked to a specific profession today. I will also point out that I've here used an oversimplified version of my argument.
- Jason Pratt said...
Whoops!--my second footnote was incomplete. It should have continued:
Obviously, determination of an event doesn't necessarily involve rational action either, as the event may be only mechanistically reactive: the atmosphere's reaction to lightning being a pertinent example. This will be discussed in more detail later, although it has also already been discussed in much detail back in Chapter 4.

Mexico opened up their 2013 calender season with a 1-1 draw against Denmark in Glendale, Arizona on Wednesday night.
Both teams scored via the penalty kick. Mexico opened up the scoring in the 68th minute, when midfielder Javier Aquino was pulled down in the box, leaving the referee with no option but to point to the spot. The spot-kick was finished by teammate Marco Fabian, striking a laser into the left side netting.
Denmark kept their heads up, and were rewarded in the 86th minute, when 19-year-old forward Andreas Cornelius was pulled down as he was clear on goal in the box, earning his side a penalty. The young Dane stepped up, and expertly dispatched the ball into the back of the net.
Mexico kicks off their campaign in the Hexagonal stage of CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying with a home match against Jamaica on February 6.
Here are some other stories to get your Thursday started:
BlackRock, an investment firm based out of New York City, has purchased 3.3 million shares of Manchester United PLC, according to reports from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The shares amount to an 8.21 percent stake in the club.
The Glazer family, who owns a controlling stake in Manchester United, decided to go public last August, in a bid to pay off the massive debt that the club has been accumulating.
The club's shares have risen 35% in the last three months, and as of Thursday morning, it was trading at $16.78 in the New York Stock Exchange.
Just hours after leaving the hospital, Lazio midfielder Hernanes has announced that he'd like to play in this weekend's Serie A matchup against Genoa.
The Brazilian midfielder suffered a horrifying clash of heads with Juventus' Luca Marronne on Tuesday night in Lazio's 3-2 aggregate Coppa Italia win, which led to Hernanes being rushed to the hospital for an MRI. The results came out negative, but according to the Lazio player himself, Hernanes was in and out of consciousness all the way too the hospital.
Lazio manager Vladimir Petković has yet to make a decision on the 27-year-old's status.
Speaking to reporters after training this morning in Barcelona, Dani Alves admitted that the measures taken to end racism in Spain have failed. Alves was subjected to racist chants from the Real Madrid fans at Wednesday night's Copa Del Rey match against Barcelona.
This isn't the first time that Alves has been the subject of racial abuse from the stands, as Alves himself stated in 2011 that the racism was "uncontrollable" at Spanish grounds.
The 29-year-old Brazilian full back has called for action taken to end racism at the grounds, and decried the current status of the football culture in Spain.
Arsenal's defensive depth took another hit Wednesday evening, as starting left back Kieran Gibbs limped off in 37th minute of the 2-2 draw against Liverpool. After the match, manager Arsene Wenger confirmed to the press that Gibbs had been diagnosed with a thigh strain, and would miss at least three weeks.
This leaves Arsenal with just Andre Santos, an converted defender, and Thomas Vermaelen, a center back, as options to cover for Gibbs until he is healthy.
Gibbs, who recently signed a new contract extension with Arsenal through the 2018 season, had a streak of 12 starts in a row in all competitions broken when he was named to the substitutes bench for Arsenal's 3-2 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion last Saturday in the FA Cup.
The offensive potential of Sao Paulo was on display once more on Wednesday, as the Soberano defeated Bolivar 8-4 on aggregate, despite a 4-3 defeat in La Paz.
Sao Paulo dominated last week's match, winning 5-0, and Wednesday evening's match started similarly, with the Brazilian side scoring the game's first three goals to take a commanding 8-0 aggregate lead. The Bolivian side kept it interesting, as they struck back with two more goals in the first half, and another two in the second half, though they were well short of defeating Sao Paulo on aggregate.
Luis Fabiano, Jadson, and Osvaldo each scored again for Sao Paulo, who now progress to the second stage of the Copa Libertadores, where they'll face Atletico Mineiro of Brazil, The Strongest of Bolivia, and Arsenal de Sarandi of Argentina in Group 3.
In Wednesday evening's other match, Gremio of Brazil defeated LDU Quito of Ecuador on penalty kicks, after a 62nd minute goal by former Manchester City striker Elano tied the teams on aggregate. After the scoreless periods of extra time, the match went into penalties, where the Porto Alegre side won by a score of 5-4.
Gremio now will join Group 8, where they'll see Fluminense of Brazil, Huachipato of Chile, and Caracas of Venezuela.
The 2013 South American Youth Championship is winding down, and Wednesday evening another piece of the puzzle was finished, as Ecuador were eliminated from the competition, following a 3-2 loss to Peru. Through four matches of the final stage Ecuador has failed to record a win.
The two other matches on Wednesday saw Chile defeat Colombia 1-0, on a Nicolas Castillo penalty kick goal, and Paraguay defeat Uruguay 1-0, which sees the Paraguayans jump to the top of the final stage leader board with 10 points.
The outcomes have set up an intriguing final day of matches on Sunday, February 3. Chile will take on Peru, with the latter needing a win to advance to the U-20 World Cup, while the former just needs a draw or a win. A loss could potentially knock Chile out of contention, which places real importance on the match.
Paraguay will take on Colombia in the second match of the day, though both have already qualified, while Uruguay and Ecuador will finish out the tournament, with Uruguay in the same situation as Chile, needing at least a draw to earn a berth into the international competition this summer.
Dennis Bergkamp has been rumored to be the man to take over the Arsenal Academy once Liam Brady leaves his post at the end of next season. (REPORT)
Ashley Cole has a chance to win his 100th cap, after being called into Roy Hodgson's England squad to face Brazil in a friendly at Wembley Stadium. (REPORT)
Raphael Varane's heroics for Real Madrid in their 1-1 draw against Barcelona have earned him a France National Team call up for their friendly match against Germany. (REPORT)
Everton have cancelled a proposed deal for FC Twente midfielder Leroy Fer because of a knee problem caught in the footballers medical. (REPORT)
What do you think of these reports? Do you think Mexico deserved the result? Do you see BlackRock investing more money in the club? Are you surprised that Hernanes wants to play this weekend?
Share your thoughts below.
Vikings vs Aztecs
Does Mexico only play friendlies in the USA?
Seems like it. After the WC they played a few including Spain in Mexico. In 2011 they played Brazil in Osvaldo Sanchez's send off match and last year they played the US in Mexico but besides that they have been enjoying the NFL stadiums all over the US most of their friendlies.
They even played their last WC qualifier in the US (after they had clinched a spot in the hex).
The US has become the destination for NTs & clubs for generating revenue. Good for the game overall, though it would be nice to capture more of the ticket revenue in MLS.
The Imperative Voice
I don't know if it's necessarily positive for 43K+ to watch Mexico while less than 12K watch the USA. Ditto all the cash-harvest big name club tours here. A portion of that money then presumably exits the country with the touring team.
What benefits USA soccer is our NT and clubs getting attendance.
The spread of soccer in this country is the benefit. If a thousand more kids decide that soccer is something to keep playing instead of quitting in high school or middle school then having friendlies here are worth it. And it is only a matter of time before the Mexican Americans and the the other such and such Americans will not be able to suit up for those national teams and they will have no choice to play for the US. You can not transfer citizenship forever.
I believe that SUM helps organize these things and gets a cut of the money from many of these games. That money goes straight back to the people who own MLS, so in a roundabout way, these Mexico games actually end up supporting our league.
If I remember correct, SUM paid the FMF a certain amount of millions to schedule a certain about of friendlies in the US every year.
The FMF to my understanding has no control where in the US they play or against who. As mentioned by Phantom SUM is own by the same people that own MLS, so it some way it helps US soccer, similar to how Chivas USA entry to MLS generated television rights from Univision.
Im surprised no transfer deadline topic from SBI
Is that the Danish Dax McCarty in the photo.
Anybody who watched last night can tell why our disjointed, rookie C team didn't do what Denmark did. Denmark's squad is really, really good. They took it to a Mexico team missing only something like 4 starters.
Brain Guy
+1. I still can't believe Brad Evans was asked to lead the attack. JK talks a lot about rewarding players for their professionalism and their performance in training, but it seemed clear to me that he was using this match more to evaluate certain players who perhaps needed a terrific performance to leap-frog some others and get consideration for the WC qualifiers. Many of the best players from this camp (Agudelo, Gatt, Feilhaber, Diskerud) did not start; Mix didn't even make the team.
Oranje Mike
The Danish league is better than MLS, I suppose.
ed - houston
yes, i would have been ugly had we played Denmark or Mexico
No, I think it would have been more interesting than what we got. With Denmark or Mexico at least the opponent would not have taken up a 100% defensive posture. But I think Klinsmann's plan was for this group to play very defensively so what we would have likely seen would have been a team attacking a bunkered US defense and the US making occasional forays and counter attacks.
Klinsmann in his after-game comments said we wanted to put players in difficult situations to see how they would do. His strategy of attacking while keeping 5 players back, certainly was successful in making it difficult for the US to attack.
Both Mexico and Denmark (Can you believe it, Denmark?) played attacking soccer and still managed to keep their defenses organized. When Mexico attacked they left only one or two defenders back, unlike the US who kept 5 back to watch a single striker. Denmark was more likely to have 3 defenders back, but of those 3, at least one was a bit more forward to support the attack.
The Mexico-Denmark game probably had more highlights in the first 15 minutes than the US-Canada game had in the whole 90. Comparing those games just makes me shake my head.
Doh doh
Part of the problem with friendlies…BOTH Mex and Den were out to win that game. Canada was playing primarily not to lose against us. Nevertheless, we MUST develop the ability to stretch/open teams with that intent. We're gonna see a lot of that in our home hex matches…
Oranje Mike
Aquino was not brought down in the box. I saw it with my own eyes. There were book marks about a foot outside the chalk from his foot dragging upon contact.
Oh yeah that was absolutely ridiculous.
Not only was it a legitimate shoulder to shoulder challenge but it was several feet outside the box. It was debatably a foul, but regardless of that argument it was well outside the box.
If you can get a penalty for getting fouled, then continuing to run into the box and fall then we're in for a LOT of penalties.
fortunate only
It wasn't a PK but it was certainly a foul.
Aquino had control of the ball as he was driving towards the box and the defender was losing his balance as he was catching up to Aquino and put his arm across him. Definitely not a "shoulder to shoulder" challenge.
A shoulder to shoulder challenge was more like Cornelius and Torres Nilo in Mexico's box where Cornelius outmuscled Torres Nilo and the Mexican defender ended up kicking the ball out for a corner kick. It was a great play that highlighted the intent of both teams and the understanding of the rules by the ref.
Blackrock – thats some serious investors

Like the answers? Chat privately for 24 hours with the doctor of your choice
Hi, I'm guessing you have already visited a doctor considering your medical history. I'm surprised that your doctor never suggested you to go for counseling before as it definitely has many benefits and higher possibility of helping you out. I'm sure you would've dated this girl for many years due to which you feel a strong attachment towards her; so your state of mind is quite understandable. Please visit a counselor asap because you are having suicidal ideations. Make sure you are not alone for a long time as your close ones can help you distract from negative thoughts. Stay away from any kind of substance use as it could very easily lead you to addiction.

Does Cornelia sound upper-class?
Hello berries,
I am collecting names that fit the so-called "British upper-class" criteria. So far I really like Beatrice, Georgiana, Cressida, Araminta and a few more. I came across Cornelia which I really like but does it really sound British or more Colonial? (I know Cordelia sounds but I am not so sure about her twin sister Cornelia)
Could you help me with this? Same-style suggestions would be great as well. Thank you so much.olympia/europe/college student

Two young Aussies, Daniel Holdsworth and Aidan Roberts, present their daring and dynamic live performance of Mike Oldfield's 'Tubular Bells', which celebrates 40 years since its release this year.
The sell-out Edinburgh Fringe show recreates the iconic album live onstage with a unique energetic performance from these two multitalented musicians. 'Tubular Bells' usually requires a full orchestra for live performance, but Holdsworth and Roberts create a stellar sound capturing the soul and emotion of the album with just the two of them literally leaping between instruments for this fast paced hour-long epic musical journey.

Since they both met in Modesto, CA, Tess and Connor couldn't think of a better place to get hitched. They were married on a beautiful ranch where both the ceremony and reception was held. I am just so excited to share their wedding that I will stop typing and let the photos speak for themselves. ENJOY!!!

This is because Brigadier-General Wetherspoon is in charge of a very secret organisation indeed. He is head of AIDS.
AIDS stands for Army Image Defence Service. It's a crack corps that goes into action when the British Army has suffered an image reversal. The British Army is seldom defeated in battle, but it does suffer reverses from time to time in the press and media. And when it does, they send for old Wetherspoon. Get him to restore military pride . . .
'What the Army understands best is inflicting damage. Now my game is quite the opposite, that is, damage limitation.'
And now Brigadier-General Wetherspoon has been given perhaps the toughest job of his life. To restore the image of the British armed forces after the top man has let the side down. You're bound to get a certain image droop when the chief military officer of the armed services has resigned after it has been discovered that he had been having an affair with a lady with a Spanish name.
'Mark you, I couldn't see what he'd done wrong,' says Wetherspoon. 'In my day, there was nothing wrong with going out with a Spanish lady. No risk in it at all. Always neutrals, the Spaniards. Never got involved in a war. Unless they were killing each other. But you have to hand it to the Spaniards. They've been watching us give them a two-fingered salute from Gibraltar for 400 years now, and they've never come swarming over the frontier to retake the place. Can't think why not, actually. They'd get it back in five minutes.
'Do you know what I think their biggest mistake was? Not invading Gibraltar when we were trying to get the Falklands back. They'd have walked it while our backs were turned and while we couldn't afford another senseless rearguard action. The Spaniards could have swanned in and got the Rock back in 24 hours. I say, that's good] Rock around the Clock]'
But now Wetherspoon has to act fast to get a bit of gloss back on the British Army. To buff up the image of the British soldier until you can see your own reflection in it. Or, in the Brigadier-General's own words, to tell Johnny Civilian out there that there's nothing wrong with the British Army that a billion pounds couldn't put right.
'Just joking]' says Brigadier-General Wetherspoon - or Sir, as he likes to be known for short. 'Money's useful in this game, but at the end of the day do you know what makes all the difference? A bit of fun, that's what] No, it's true. If you can show people that the Army has got a sense of humour and can let its hair down, you're half-way home.'
And how is he going to do that?
'Well,' says Wetherspoon, measuring his words carefully, 'we're going to ginger up the D-Day celebrations a bit. I've been put in charge of a showbiz unit which is going to stage a few items and I think it's going to
be a hoot. As our friends across the Channel say, on va rigoler un peu.'
In what sort of way?
'Well, just between you and me - sure you can keep a secret?'
I nodded in a frank and honest sort of way.
'Well, when we re-enact the Normandy landings, we shall have a large contingent of troops rushing ashore from landing craft, just as they did back in '44, and racing up the beaches, and re-forming, and driving inland, and pushing all opposition before them as they go on to their objective.'
Which is?
'EuroDisney, old boy. We're going to go into EuroDisney and capture the place and put it to the torch] Absolutely destroy it] Or liberate it, as we soldiers like to say . . . Anyway, it'll be spectacular] It's going to be sensational.'
But what will Disney Enterprises say to all that? Won't they be furious if EuroDisney is captured and burnt by an Allied Army?
'Far from it. Life-saver, old boy. The insurance money alone will be enough to bail them out of the mess they're in. We shall get all the glory and the good reviews - they will get compensation. We've been planning this hand in glove with the Disney people for nine months now.'
At that point the phone rang. Wetherspoon answered it.
'Bubbles, my lovely girl]' he said. Then he looked at me and his face sank. 'No, I can't talk right now, darling. Got a chap from the papers here. Ring you back when he's gone.'
He rang off.
'Don't put that in the interview, there's a good fellow,' he said. 'I don't think the Army could take another top-level scandal and resignation right now.'

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My ex-husband's child support payments have not been reviewed in over 10 years. I know he is making a lot more money now than when we divorced. I have money judgments against him for thousands of dollars in arrears, and he only pays $15/week toward the judgments. He claims I am not automatically entitled to review of support payments, but I'm pretty sure that the DRL provides that I can request it every 2 or 3 years. I'm having trouble finding the statute that gives me that right, and I would like to read it. Any help pointing me in the right direction is appreciated!
Child support can be reviewed based upon a change of circumstance which may be substantial such as a 15% difference in pay. You may also be entitled to a COLA increase. If his income has gone up, then file for an upward modification. Stop listening to your ex husband , deadbeat dad, who has an incentive to persuade you not to file for an increase. Also, file an enforcement proceeding to seek a money judgment, interest, willfulness finding, legal fees and even incarceration. Contact a local family law attorney to help you.

In addition to what the other attorneys say, if you have money judgments against your ex, why aren't you enforcing them, e.g. through garnishment which allow you to take more than 50 percent of his earnings?
If you found this "helpful" or "best answer," please click it with my appreciation. My response is for educational purposes and does not constitute legal advice nor creates an attorney client relationship which requires all the details and a personal conference.Ask a similar question
I attempted to enforce them through the court system, and I only got an award for $15/week (by income deduction order) plus 1/2 his annual income tax return (which, some years, is nothing if he doesn't get a return). When I tried to take the judgments to the Erie County Child Support Enforcement Collection Unit, they refused to assist me. They told me I had to have a court order directing them to collect the arrears before they would help. That was 4 years ago, and he's had a couple of promotions, and I know he's making enough money to pay more than $15/week. Plus, he is not paying toward the children's health insurance. So, I want to bring an action for a review of child support. Just wanted to make sure I was within the right timeframe. I appreciate the comments advising me to hire an attorney. I do have one, but she isn't very responsive sometimes. I realize that because I'm a 3L I'm probably a little more sophisticated than the average client, so I think she's taken the position that she doesn't need to do as much work... However, matrimonials are far removed from my area of expertise, and I wouldn't have hired her if I didn't need help. Nonetheless, I'm winding up doing much of the research of my own and learning more than I ever wanted to know about domestic relations law! I appreciate all of the responses. Thank you.

This is a discussion on How many always carry an extra mag? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I said "Other" because I carry 1 extra Mag, OC, & a knife. I suspect many above carry a knife also....

gun, extra mag most of the time, wallet, keys, big a$% folder, lighter, change, cell phone, lint.
I thought about carrying two mags but I should get the job done with fifteen rounds. I have a flash light in the truck so why carry one. As for the other items I would need suspenders to hold up my pants if I were to carry all that. I think you can over do it.
M&P 40 in CTAC holster strongside
Extra mag in velcro case or Comp-tac mag holder (2 mags, in I feel I need them. Weakside
Fenix L2D CE LED Flashlight weakside
Kershaw Blur weakside

If I really want to go the distance I'll wear my Walter P22 crossdraw with an extra mag for it in a pocket, but then I'm getting very heavy.

If Im only carrying my G19 then I carry one extra clip. If Im carring my BUG, then I usually don't carry any extra ammo. I figure if I can't get the job done with 31 rounds, then I got a big problem that another extra mag isn't gonna solve
Got my Glock 23 in my Milt Sparks IWB holster, an extra mag in my pocket and I generally carry some spray (was advised early in my training that it's wise to have OC due to my state's expectation of meeting force with like-force). I'd like to start carrying a knife, but I haven't trained with one (and have little experience with them) so I'm not going to do so until I get some training under my belt.
I have a basic Surefire flashlight, but am not in the habit of carrying it with me (though I probably should if I'm going to keep wandering around my "city" at night).
this makes me think of a scene from "the unforgiven":
"you got 3 guns and only one arm!"
"i don't mean to get killed for lack of shootin' back!"
i normally don't carry an xtra mag, just a knife and a flashlight, but i guess i should start.
If there are more than 2 attackers then I am in the wrong place and all the rounds in the world would not do much to save me. If I can not stop two attackers with 8 rounds I should not carry at all.
I am not talking about what to carry when the SHTF, then I will have 5 mags, one 18 1/2 inch barrel 12 ga with 100 rounds, and soon an AR 15 with a few hundred rounds, but on a regular day my Kimber with one in the pipe and 7 in the mag.

If it is not in the US Constitution then the Federal Government should not be doing it.

Gun + mag, except if out for a walk after dark, then add a flashlight also. I NEVER go anywhere without a pocket knife. ususally both a small folder and a CRKT M-16.

why? because I can, not a burden, 2 mags 13rd each gives me extra in case its needed (and I'd rather have it and not need it then run my pistol dry and have nothing left), I use the light almost every day on my job and makes it nice when going to/from car at night with the family, OC has been used on 4 legged critters before and could be useful on the 2 legged variety

Cisco's $2.9 billion (£1.78 billion) acquisition of Starent Networks indicates that the networking giant is back-pedalling from its WiMax focus and shifting it to LTE as the 4G underpinning of next generation mobile data networks.
Previous to acquiring Starent, which make gateways to connect multiple radio access networks – Wi-Fi, WiMax, LTE, 2.5G, 3G, CDMA and UMTS/HSPDA – to an IP packet core, Cisco acquired WiMAX vendor Navini Networks in 2007 and becamea key supplier to Clearwire for its mobile WiMax buildout. But in the interim, big mobile operators AT&T and Verizon -- both Cisco customers – announced plans to adopt LTE instead of mobile WiMax as their 4G service delivery platforms.
Cisco's LTE product offerings, meanwhile, were limited to a gateway on its 7600 series routers via the Cisco Service and Application Module for IP (SAMI). Cisco also recently outlined a plan to build up its professional services capabilities to support LTE buildouts.
But Starent now gives Cisco a complete mobile packet core offering – one targeted almost specifically at LTE and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), according to Starent president and CEO Ashraf Dahod, who will now lead Cisco's new Mobile Internet Technology Group, which is essentially Starent inside of Cisco.
"Our goal is to aggressively focus on the UMTS and LTE markets," Dahod said during a conference call on the Cisco acquisition. "That's where the future is; the future is LTE."
Analysts say Cisco is moving with the market.
"Cisco is now placing its bets on LTE, which will be the big 4G winner," says Laurence Swasey, senior analyst at Visant Strategies. "Mobile operators around the world are all in different stages of moving toward LTE. WiMax was always a dark horse for the mobile world."
Swasey says LTE provides more voice capacity, "better data crunch" and better revenue per subscriber than mobile WiMax. He says vendors like Cisco put early bets on the technology as a placeholder until the dust settled around which 4G technology would win out.
"A lot of the telecom and computer industry players were initially looking toward WiMax to be an early savior," Swasey says. "LTE was still [immature]. But LTE makes much better sense. The only question was: When will everyone get on board?"
Mark Lowenstein , managing director of Mobile Ecosystem, echoes those views. "It is becoming clear that WiMax is not being adopted for large scale deployments, outside Clearwire and a couple of Asia contracts," Lowenstein says. "Most wireless carriers on a 3GPP (WCDMA) or 3GPP2 (CDMA 2000) track are going to LTE. So Cisco wants to play in that sandbox as well, and with Starent it can capitalize."
Starent also allows Cisco to play a broader role in optimising wireless networks for the 20-fold increase in usage that will be driven bysmartphones, netbooks, and a new range of wireless embedded devices, and for new types of usage such as multimedia, Lowenstein says.
In addition to a significant entrée into the $8.6 billion market for LTE and mobile core infrastructure, Starent broadens Cisco's footprint in 3G mobile networks, according to Catharine Trebnick of Avian Securities in Boston. It also indicates that Cisco's 7600 router with SAMI was not up to the LTE task.
"Our channel checks have indicated Cisco's 7600 didn't have the features required for all-IP LTE networks," Trebnick states in a bulletin on the Starent deal.

We had a wonderful stay for the last week in Sept. A very clean and comfortable stay for 5 adults and our two dogs. We took several walks down the road to explore the area, Long Pond lake is within walking distance. (great hiking trails there and fishing spots). We loved our stay in Southwest Harbor and would definitely stay on this side of the island again...we did not like the crowds near Bar Harbor. Any issues we had, Jesse was there immediately to take care of it - the heat was not turned on and we had a dip in temperature, so he resolved that. The only other issue with the house was water pressure was not great...we took showers one at a time. This only seemed to be an issue for showers or baths. We would definitely consider coming back here as we loved the location and roomy clean home...everything was provided. Loved the ducks who came for a daily visit...so peaceful and porch swings. Don't hesitate to book here and we want to come back to Maine again...it was more beautiful than we expected!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The process for renting was streamlined and Jesse responded to my inquiries within 24 hours. Simple instructions when departing too. My daughters loved the swings out front and the fire pit in the back. Feels even more spacious inside than the pictures show. We brought our dog and the pet fee was very reasonable and even walked the dog to Long Pond. Would rent this property again.
House was well equipped for 6 adults. Located very close to Long pond hiking trails on the quieter side of Desert Island. It takes about 20-25 minutes to drive to Bar Harbor.
Only issue we encountered was water pressure. Only 1 person can shower at a time ; which is very inconvenient when 6 people are trying to get cleaned up after a day out.
House is more suitable for 4 people due to inability to utilize several water sources at the same time.
We loved everything about our stay here. Loved the hammock chairs & watching the ducks play in the pond. Everything was just perfect. I would recommend this place if looking for a place to stay. Will stay here again if we return to the area
Our week in Southwest harbor was just about perfect...great weather, awesome food, fun activities, and a super place to return to at the end of the day. We took advantage of the many restaurants in the area and cooked very little, but everything you would need to do so is there. The house is about 25 minutes from the crowds of Bar Harbor, and it is convenient to anything you may want to do in Acadia. It was a comfortable house with a great porch,,,hummingbirds visited the hanging flowers daily while we were there. The house is nestled in the woods but for one side where the owner runs a small business so if there is a problem you can expect fast service to make it right. We enjoyed the quiet of the location and would recommend this house and location to anyone. Thank you, Jesse, for sharing your home.
We enjoyed our stay here. House is well kept and clean which is very important to us. It is a bit off the beaten path so you really cannot walk to any local attractions but by car is only 5 minutes away from "downtown" Southwest Harbor and about 20-25 minutes from Bar Harbor and the EAST side of Acadia National Park.
We did have any contact with the owner during our visit, but none was needed as everything was just as listed.
We would recommend this rental to families that need to chill out and relax after a good day hiking, kayaking or shopping. Very spacious with room for everyone to hang out.
Highly recommended: Maine State Kayaking, Sips, Upper Deck (great burger!), Little Notch Bakery, and Mainely Meat BBQ (yes, BBQ, not lobster) by Atlantic Brewing Co.
Do the hiking trails!
