I Am Not Him
I see his picture, when he was my age.
He had just been married and his wife swore she'd never love again;
he swore the same.
In a home video, I see where he kept his wife,
In a cage with her perfect family that she always wanted,
and he'd stop by ever so often.
You hypocrite
You liar
You biggot with no desire
I love you.
I myself walking in his footsteps,
and hurrying to jump out of those shoes.
I see him in the mirror,
my jawline.
I see him on holidays,
sitting by himself and crying, regretting.
I want to scream everytime I hear his name,
"Why did you do this?"
I cut him out of my thoughts,
but I love him.
I see my mother's face,
telling me what he had done to her.
"I hope you're doing well son."
"I am, you too Dad."

Mailigen provides an email marketing system to business of all sizes. This web-based email marketing solution was founded in 2009 to help you create and deliver targeted marketing campaigns. You can create professional emails, newsletters, surveys, and signup forms through their custom designed templates.
The Good
- Templages
- API integration
- SMS and mobile marketing
- Money back guarantee
With over 130 templates and the ability to design and save your own templates, Mailigen provides several options for you to create emails that fit your company's style and needs. Their templates allow you to add your own symbols, links, tags, and pictures and give you up to 10MB of photo storage space included with all of their plans. All of the functions you need to create your email are available in a single toolbar making the process more efficient. With the Autoresponder, you can set up follow-up emails depending on what your customer clicks or needs so that they get immediate, responses that look personalized.
The Application Programming Interface (API) allows you to manage your contacts and gather statistics. Mailigen capitalizes on Google Analytics to provide users with real-time, thorough analysis of data from email campaigns—how many emails were opened, which customers opened them, which links were clicked, unsubscribe requests, forwarded emails, new subscribers, etc. It makes it easy to see how successful your email campaigns are.
Mailigen also offers SMS and mobile marketing, enabling you and your business to delivery text messages to more than 200 countries and territories, helping to further connect you with your customer base in the most effective ways. They also capitalize on social media by allowing you to connect with numerous sites including Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. The emails you create aren't limited just to inboxes and can be accessed and shared on social media sites, as well, which makes it even more important to have access to aesthetic templates. It's one more way to generate new customers.
If you decide to give Mailigen a try beyond the free trial, they offer a money back guarantee if you find that the investment isn't paying off. They are one of few competitors to do so which says a lot about how confident they are in their product.
The Bad
- No inbox preview tool
- Unorganized library
Currently Malign doesn't offer an inbox preview tool which would allow you to see what your customers see when they open your email. The lack of a preview tool denies customers the chance to catch formatting and design errors prior to sending out emails.
With all of the template and design options, users have found that the library is difficult to manage because there's no way to organize it. This gets particularly difficult if you run multiple campaigns for different branches of the business or in different countries.
The Bottom Line
While there are a few limitations with Mailigen's email marketing system (the most significant being the lack of preview capabilities), customers are generally very positive about their experiences with Mailigen. Most users find that they are able to create unique and professional emails using the templates and tools included in the packages. The analytics are thorough and helpful in giving users an in-depth understanding of how successful their marketing is in real-time and automated responses can react to your customers' needs without you ever having to click a button. With a free trial, plans starting at $10, and money back guarantee, there's not much to hold you back from seeing if Mailigen works for you.

Posted by ESPN.com's Chris Low
This is a game that stands on its own.
Florida and LSU are two of the most talented teams in the country, two of college football's premier programs and the owners of the last two BCS national championship trophies.
It's a matchup that really didn't need any extra spice, although LSU defensive tackle Ricky Jean-Francois made sure of it with his comments that he was going take Tim Tebow out of the game if he got a clean shot.
Jean-Francois says his comments were misinterpreted. Try telling that to the Swamp crazies on Saturday night and to the big guys up front responsible for protecting the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner.
Let's face it. If the game is half as entertaining as the one a year ago on the Bayou, we're all in for a treat.
Florida vs. Georgia might be the most anticipated game this season in the SEC, and Alabama vs. LSU has all the juicy storylines.
But the best game, the game that makes even the fans feel sore afterward because of all the thunderous hits and causes neck cramps from watching all the premium playmakers blaze up and down the field?
That game is Florida vs. LSU.
"It's one of those games as a spectator that you don't miss," LSU senior defensive end Tyson Jackson said. "And as a player, it's one of those games where the next day you feel like you've been in two or three fights."
Both teams could take big steps toward division crowns with a win. Both teams would probably be on the outside looking in with a loss.
LSU (4-0, 2-0 SEC) still has to play at South Carolina and gets Georgia and Alabama at home in the next month. Florida (4-1, 2-1 SEC) gets a bye next week before facing Kentucky, Georgia, Vanderbilt and South Carolina in order.
"We can't afford any more slip-ups, especially at home," Florida linebacker Brandon Hicks said. "This is the only game that matters."
The Florida defensive players haven't needed to be reminded this week of how they were mauled a year ago by an LSU running game that netted 246 yards. The Tigers converted on five straight fourth-down conversions to come back and win 28-24 in the kind of physical, head-jarring game that defines the SEC.
But a year ago, LSU was the more physical team, and the Gators have been treated to constant video from that game all over the football complex this week.
The Tigers' game-winning drive lasted 15 bruising plays, with Jacob Hester twice converting on fourth-and-1. His short touchdown plunge won it for LSU with 1:09 to play after Florida had led the whole way up until that point.
"It's one of the most exciting football games I've ever been a part of," said LSU middle linebacker Darry Beckwith, who's returning this week after missing the last two games with a knee injury.
The other intriguing subplot in this game centers around the coaches. Florida's Urban Meyer has the national persona of being the hot commodity, while LSU's Les Miles has been tagged as the guy who says goofy things, takes all sorts of chances and is living off an endless supply of talent stocked by his predecessor.
Granted, Miles does give strange answers to questions sometimes, and he's gambled and won at LSU more than he's gambled and lost. But a quick check of LSU's roster reveals that most of the Nick Saban recruits are gone.
These are Miles' players, and it's unquestionably his team. He also more than holds his own with Meyer in just about every category. Miles has a better SEC record, a better record against nationally ranked teams, more Top 10 finishes and fewer losses to unranked teams.
And as several LSU fans rightly pointed out earlier this season, if you're going to point out that Miles won his national championship last season with a bunch of Saban recruits leading the way, isn't it only fair to note that Meyer did the same thing in 2006 with a bunch of Ron Zook recruits playing key roles?
Saturday night at the Swamp can't get here soon enough.

New Delhi, Jan 24: Call it irony or a coincidence, the rape survivor of the Uber rape case in Delhi gets a mail from the cab company saying that it is back in Delhi.
Reports are rife that the tainted Uber Technologies Inc taxi services have restarted in New Delhi after a ban following the rape allegations against one of the drivers. However, government sources confirmed that the company remains blacklisted.
"They can't start operations.They don't have a license yet, they have only applied for it," said the senior transport official.
Interestingly, the US-based lawyer hired by the financial executive who was raped by the driver said that the latter was emailed to inform her that "they have re-entered the market in Delhi."
The lawyer, Dougla Wigdor said,"We had made it clear to Uber that the rape victim wanted to be part of a consultation process regarding safety procedures to ensure that no other person becomes a victim at the hands of an Uber driver."
India is Uber's largest market and post the rape, it has assured its customers of higher safety standards, stringent driver checks and an in-app emergency button and a dedicated incident response team.
"We are setting an even higher standard than current industry requirements," Uber said in a statement.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, especially not any of the Doctors featured in this story. I just like to play with the toys, but I promise I'll put them back in the toybox when I'm through.
Author's Note:Although this story lists the 11th Doctor and the 9th Doctor as main characters, Doctors Eight and Ten are also heavily featured. So are several different companions from all four eras, not to mention the half-human Doctor. This is a multi-era saga of the Time War, in all its bloodiness and horror. You have been warned.
War By The Numbers
When something twinges the Eleventh Doctor's memory, he begins to realize that everything he remembers about Amy and Rory is wrong…and so are years worth of his memories.. Nothing adds up, and he finds he still has a part left to play in the war he thought he'd finally left behind. Here is the story of the Last Great Time War. Everything that was, everything that is, everything that must not be: a Time War in every sense of the words, death and destruction and loss in a non-linear form.
Prologue: Everything Wrong
Eleventh Doctor
"What is it?"
The Doctor took a long moment before answering, crouching in front of the small dark box, careful not to touch it even with his sonic screwdriver. It was shaped like a rounded-off "x" and thicker in the center, and so nondescript: gray in color, the "box" had absolutely no identifying markings at all. It was easy to miss amongst the rock and sand, and the malfunctioning perception filter still in place made the object even less obtrusive. According to local legend, it had been buried here on Daracia for centuries, having fallen from a burning sky in the times before living memory. Everyone had forgotten about the box until an earthquake had shaken the ground loose…and as always, the Doctor could not resist a mystery.
Especially when that mystery was currently disrupting the power supply to every building for miles around.
"I have no idea…" Another rotation of the sonic screwdriver proved useless; he was getting no readings whatsoever. According to his favorite tool, the box didn't exist. And even if it did, the sonic screwdriver insisted that it had no power source and was emitting zero energy. Not malfunctioning one bit.
But there was something ticking at the edge of his consciousness that warned him that he was malfunctioning. Just a bit.
"I've never seen anything like it." She crouched to his left, impatiently holding a clump of ginger hair out of her face with her right hand.
"Of course you have—you're a Time Agent!" The words came out automatically. Something blurred in front of his vision, but rapid blinking cleared it.
"I'm a what?" Amy asked.
"Hold on a moment. What'd you just say my wife was?"
The Doctor scowled, shaking himself. "Forget it. Senile moment. I'm old enough to have them."
"Right…" Rory trailed off doubtfully, but the Doctor ignored him, too. Or tried to, anyway.
He checked a sigh; so this was why he'd never brought a married couple around in the TARDIS. They always ganged up on him.
"Stop glaring at me, Pond. I can feel my hair burning."
"You're a giant baby," she retorted with a snort. But she was still crouched next to him, staring at the box in fascination. "Speaking of burning…?" she prompted.
"The bloody box, Doctor. The one that fell from a burning sky. Have you ever seen anything like it?"
How had his attention gone elsewhere? This situation was growing stranger by the moment. "Well, now that you mention it, I don't—" Memory tugged.
Three Daleks meeting with a shadowed figure—one of them extended a pincher to accept a small object lined with fading golden lettering—
His memory was perfect; the curse of being a Time Lord. But this had always been fragmented. Only this. The one thing he could not remember completely, the one way to make a Time Lord forget…
A wall of row upon row of boxes, all glittering softly in the low light. Through a closed door, an orange sky was just barely visible—
He stared at the box, barely hearing as Amy asked:
"No, what, Doctor?"
His lips moved on their own. His eyes stared. "No."
"It can't be!" He jumped to his feet as the sudden burst of adrenaline hit, then caught himself and dropped down to all fours in front of the box, peering at from every angle he could think of. His mind was whirling, spinning, running in overdrive, fast even for him.
"Can't be what?" Amy demanded. Rory was crouching by her side, now, as fascinated as he was.
He wished they were as frightened as he was, instead.
"Every single one of these boxes was destroyed. Gone. Erased. Never existed." The Doctor leaned over the box, studying each side in turn. Again. Was that lettering he could see?
Was he shaking?
"Destroyed when?" Rory asked. "Isn't time like that? Can't things happen out of order, and this just be from before they were destroyed?"
Any other time, he'd have been impressed by the lad's brilliance. Not now.
"Not this," he answered heavily. Tightly.
"How's that supposed to work, then?" Amy chimed in.
"They were destroyed in the Time War," he replied in the tone of voice that usually warned companions to Ask No More.
She only frowned. "The what?"
"Don't ask."
"Well, be like that, then—"
"Hold on, I think I've heard of something like that," Rory cut her off, and though the Doctor did not turn to face him, he could hear the memory in that soft voice—and something inside him twitched.
Only once had the Time War peeked its way into the present, only once had they assembled enough power to try to break through from the past—but not like this, not now. Never again.
He wondered if the Master was still out there somewhere.
Not that now either!
Forcing himself to focus, the Doctor sat back on his heels and reached out a hand to brush his left thumb against the box's edges.
She sounded close to panic. Of course, all of the locals who had touched said box had collapsed into comas, but Amy wasn't fast enough to stop him…and he knew this technology. He didn't want to, but he did.
Golden-black script flared to life under his finger's tip, and a forgotten song filled his mind.
Orange skies burning red at morning.
Soft touches from mind to mind, flowing so quietly and carefully, but always, always there. The full feeling of knowledge and wisdom and ageless time, arching out across each universe and binding together even those who ran away.
There was no running from oneself, after all. The togetherness always followed, the sharing of something larger than a mind, something greater than memory and longer than life. Always part of something greater, even if something crumbling and forgotten, greater and older and more magnificent than any single soul…
Sweeping mountains, memories, mel—
He was still distracted by the sudden influx of images when the ground dropped out from under them.
Despite his preoccupation, the Doctor almost got the word out quickly enough. "Loo—"
But he was already tumbling to the—beneath the?—ground and Amy and Rory both yelped in surprise. Rocks crashed down around them; something bounced off of the Doctor's left shoulder and made him hiss in pain. Dust thickened the air enough to make his respiratory bypass system kick in as his companions coughed and choked somewhere off to his right. They didn't sound above him, so they must have fallen, too—his sense of time was sluggish, but beginning to cope with the sudden (and slight, though unexpected) spatial shift. A long moment passed before the Doctor was able to suck a breath in.
His throat burned, and the air tasted unbelievably stale and sour, as if no one had been there for hundreds of years. I'd forgotten how much using the respiratory bypass system hurts. It's been…
He wasn't going to think about that now. He so wasn't.
"Doctor?" Amy coughed again.
"I'm here." He scrambled to his feet, waving a hand in front of his face as the air cleared. Moving to take a step towards his friends, the toe of his right shoe hit something with a clink, and the Doctor bent to pick the box up without thinking.
This time, he was better prepared for the sudden onslaught, but his mind still filled with awareness, knowledge, and…memory.
The brilliant Untempered Schism, the window to time and the universe—every universe—beautiful, deadly, inspiring, maddening—
Footsteps on cool floors, Romana's frightened white face whispering "No—"
Time sweeping through the ages, faces, names, knowledge, peace, love, war, madness, eternity—
Everything and nothing, nothing and everything—
Gasping, the Doctor forced the connection shut. He almost didn't, and certainly didn't want to, but now was not the time. Still, he had to swallow dryly; the sudden quiet in his mind hurt. A second deep breath buried the pain.
You should be used to it by now, Doctor. It's been years since Gallifrey burned. His own cynicism sounded forced, even in his own mind.
"Doctor?" He could see Rory's vague outline through the gloom, now. "Where are we? And what is that thing?"
Brace yourself. Smile because you have something to hide, and then temporize. It might as well have been the motto of his life. Throw so much knowledge at them that they never miss the lack of answer. "Well, judging from the fact that we fell downwards and the sky is above us, I would venture to say that we're underground. Logic follows that we didn't fall up, after all; this planet has gravity close to the intergalactic standard."
Amy scowled at him. "Load of help you are, Mister Obvious. And you didn't answer the second question."
His forced smile froze on his face as his left hand tightened on the box. Despite himself, the Doctor had to glance down.
"This…?" He swallowed again, braced himself. "This, Amy Pond, is a memory module." His left hand trembled, and he hoped she didn't notice. "From the Matrix. On…Gallifrey."
"The Matrix? Gallifrey?"
His eyes slid shut, and the Doctor found himself clutching the box to his chest. His voice was hoarse, felt old and raw. "The sum of all Time Lord knowledge and memories…housed underneath the Panopticon and protected above all else. To breach it without permission was treason, to tamper worthy of death."
He sucked in a deep breath before answering the second question in a whisper. "And Gallifrey was my home."
He'd thought this regeneration was past the Time War, past the pain and the loss and the horror of it all—he'd been grateful that his memories grew more muddled by the day. But confronted by the past, all he wanted to do was cry.
A long moment of silence passed before Amy asked quietly, "And this… module thing was a part of that?"
"A part?" He opened his eyes with an effort. "Oh, no. Not a part. It's Time Lord Science—it's bigger on the inside than the on the out—"
Flash of memory. Screaming—
Without warning, his right hand moved up to touch the module and the walls the Doctor had constructed between it and his mind collapsed. He couldn't help it; suddenly, the need to fill the silence was overwhelming.
I'm supposed to be past this!
He stood in a rapidly clearing passageway, with rows of metal doorways to his right and left—cell doors!—stretching on for hundreds of feet. The heavy doors were quadruple locked, deadlock sealed, and alarmed; power conduits stretched into and out of every cell—
Was this memory or reality? The Doctor blinked rapidly, but his usually logical mind couldn't wrap itself around the situation yet.
He could hear thousands of voices screaming in pain, stretching across the entirety of time and space—what ought not happen would now always be, and the uneven chorus stretched across the ages, collapsing his soul under the weight of such agonizing desperation and agony. His knees shook, buckled; every sense was alive and feeling, and his mind was no longer empty but filled by this beautiful horror.
One voice was screaming louder than the others, closer—
Hands were on his shoulders; Rory was shaking him. "Doctor!" He blinked once more, staring at his worried companions blankly. From somewhere he got the impression that they'd been trying to get his attention for some time. "Are you all right?"
"I—all right?" He shook himself. "Well, um, no. Not really. But that's to be expected."
The same type scene with glass walls instead of heavy metal ones, glass that was not made of glass. Soft screams and the inevitability of loss—
Crack. His face stung.
"Oi! You. Pay attention," Amy demanded.
"You slapped me," he gaped, his attention now fully on the present. The last part had been memory, but the hallway of metal doors was real. They were standing in it.
"You bet I did," she gloated.
"You looked like you were about to pass out," Rory clarified apologetically.
"Oh. Well, thanks then."
Amy wasn't convinced by his smile, though, and Rory didn't look like he was either, but the Doctor's mind was elsewhere, clinging to the now-suddenly-quiet and dying song that had once so thoroughly broken both of his hearts. His mind had been silent for so many years (thirty-seven by the calendar of Gallifrey he still used, for some reason, to track time), and now the song he heard was the heavy end of the Time War, the screams and the deaths and the destruction of everything—
It was only an echo, but it made him want to scream.
And there was something wrong with it, too.
Her soft voice was so very far away, and her features blurred into a ginger-rimmed blob before he closed his eyes to keep back the tears. Only an echo, he told himself harshly. Only. An. Echo.
Spiral backwards in time. It hasn't always been right; things have been more wrong than you realize for quite some time. Something overlaps, somewhere, and your conscious mind ignores it because the timelines don't compute, even for your massive Time Lord Brain.
You know it's wrong, but you don't know when. Why.
Two sets of memories are warring for control, and in your mind, that's Impossible. Not impossible of the breaking-the-walls-down-between-two-universes type, either; this is Impossible, two things that cannot coexist in the one timeline that is only one timeline, in the last war of a doomed people.
Rassilon wasn't there the first time, and you're not even positive that monster was Rassilon. Something isn't right, something going all the way back to the Medusa Casade when you were just a boy.
River knows. Or she knows a part. Is it because you go to her after all of this clears because she's someone you can trust, someone who does not look at you with wonder or with the need for guidance. She's as close to an equal as you've had since—
Tenth Doctor
Bad Wolf Bay.
The mostly-human Doctor turned to the all-human Rose with tears in his eyes. "Well," he said softly. "This isn't exactly the future we hoped for, is it?"
She remembers, now, and so does he. Her voice is choked with tears, both for the man he was, the two men he now still is, and the ways she learned to love them both. "Not really, no."
They're both thinking of orange grass and red skies, of warm embraces and chances taken and not. Of lessons learned and wars fought.
"I'm so sorry," he whispers helplessly. "I killed you."
A/N 2: Thanks for reading, and please do review! I've got the first 8 chapters written, so the more motivation I have, the faster I'll write.

Posted by KD
I found John to be an excellent attorney who represented my interests and provided superior legal advice after trying another firm who did not. John moved the process along swiftly, cost consciously, and with the expertise that was representative of his years of experience. His compassionate staff was very responsive and we quickly had matters settled. John helped me to fight for what was right and not chase after those things that in the end, weren't worth it, or didn't matter. While my children were older, he still covered my interests in being a part of their lives. He protected decades of assets that I had worked for, independently of my marriage. I would strongly recommend John as a great family law attorney based on the handling of my case and the professionalism that he and his staff exhibited.
Posted by anonymous
I was seeking legal advice on filing custody for my child. In doing so, I was naturally looking for when and how the best time to pursue this would be. In contacting this firm, I was only allowed to talk to a paralegal who is the front person for the firm. All of my questions were filtered through the paralegal and I did not get any time with one of the attorneys in the firm before actually filing, though I asked for it. After filing and upon my first encounter with Mr Clark, his responses contradicted all of the answers and points given to me by the paralegal in my consultation before I filed. I would not have filed this case if I had been given these same answers during my legal consultation. My contention is that an attorney should give a potential client first hand answers and an assessment of their chances on winning a suit before the client files it. Most attorneys do this.
During the suit, Mr. Clark and the opposing council and court agreed upon non attorney mediation between the parties. I was not instructed or advised on how to proceed or handle myself during the mediation. The mediation yielded an agreement between my child's mother and myself that had given me signifigantly more time with my child. I needed to check on some dates before signing the agreement making it final and legal. But since I left the mediation before I signed the agreement, her attorney negated it. Mr Clark did not advise me on this fact or how the mediation worked so I lost signifigant time with my son and settled for just an upgrade of my parental rights to the current statutes. My contention here is that it is definitely an attorney's duty and obligation to understand and advise his client on how to proceed with any court appointed legal processes that he agrees to submit his client to or the client may suffer losses from it.

New names for Nvidia graphics cards - new clues
As it has been repeatedly reported, Nvidia seems to plan to phase-out the Geforce 8 series and to transfer the Geforce 9 series to the current name schema of the GT200 GPUs. Now new reports about further renaming were revealed.
Besides the adjustment of the 55 nanometer produced Geforce 9 chips to the current name schema (they will represent the G100 series), there are new hints now that the mobile graphics chips will receive new names, too. The GPUs soon to be produced in 45 nanometers structure will fit into the new system, too: High-end GPUS will be called GTX200, the performance cards GT200, the middle-class GS200 and the low-end G200.
The information about the extensive renaming actions can, according to VR-Zone, be seen in the Geforce drivers already:
Desktop GPUs:
NVIDIA_G92.DEV_0615.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTS 150"
NVIDIA_G94.DEV_0626.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce GT 130"
NVIDIA_G96.DEV_0646.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce GT 120"
NVIDIA_G98.DEV_06E6.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce G 100"
Mobil GPUs:
NVIDIA_G92.DEV_060A.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 180M"
NVIDIA_G92.DEV_0618.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 170M"
NVIDIA_G94.DEV_0631.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTS 160M"
NVIDIA_G96.DEV_0651.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce G 110M"
NVIDIA_G96.DEV_0652.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M"
NVIDIA_G98.DEV_06EC.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce G 105M"
Nivida still didn't officially give any statements regarding the matter.

Avoid becoming a human icicle this winter by adding cozy neck adornments to the wardrobe. Stay warm, and look cooler than ever with these four scarf knots.
1. The Double Loop
A more modern twist on a simple scarf drape, this look doubles the knots and the style. The two loops and two loose ends provide a dressier aesthetic, says Elly Bethune, owner of Elly's Couture. She suggests women wear the knot with a dress in lieu of a necklace for chilly formal events. For men, this knot lies on the casual end of the scarf spectrum, says Sandy Brubaker of Binghams. A silk scarf achieves a more formal menswear look. For a fancier style, Brubaker suggests trying a black or white silk scarf paired with a suit.
2. The Ascot
Traditionally a menswear knot, the single-wrap and Y-shape of the ascot are gaining in popularity for women's scarves, too. This exudes a thrown-on look while pulling together any cold-weather outfit for a more polished effect. For menswear, the ascot can be worn with a long or short scarf, and Brubaker says it's one of the most casual scarf styles. A casual look for women, too, it would be easiest to tie with a thin scarf, Bethune says. Try pairing it with your favorite coat and pair of jeans, or liven up an old sweater by draping the ascot on top.
3. Four-In-Hand
The aptly named four-in-hand wrap is not for scarf-tying newbies. Its four intersecting twists make it one of the more intricate knots. Because of its multiple layers, this knot maximizes warmth and utility without sacrificing style. Bethune says the cozy layering provides the most coverage. Try using a silk scarf or another thin material for a sleek look and to avoid knotting frustration. If you're a scarf savant, give it a whirl –– and a twist and tuck while you're at it –– and you'll quite literally have the hottest neck in town.
4. Parisian Knot
The single-side loop of the Parisian knot is the epitome of simple elegance. Offering optimal warmth and an a classic look, this knot blends fashion and function. Bethune and Brubaker agree this timeless look is the most fashionable for both men and women. It's a popular knot that works with any type of scarf and translates to coats or dresses, Bethune says. According to Brubaker, it's the go-to knot in men's fashion. She suggests men use a cashmere or chenille scarf for the most sartorially savvy (and warmest) look. Cashmere, she says, is the ultimate scarf material, and chenille is so warm it's practically a throw blanket for your neck.

A friend of mine recently pointed me to Newsvine, a news site that aims to give the readers the power to report the news. The site basically aggregates feeds from the AP wire and allows its community of users to rate them and post their own stories. Then everybody comments on them and some users even post their own editorials.
The concept is very utopian in that it lets its users in on the news reporting, rather than having to rely on CNN or even Google News to tell us what's important.
I've been participating in the beta test and I have to admit: I'm sorely disappointed. Given my ideological spin and all, I should be preprogrammed to like this kind of site, which could be like a Digg.com for news. Instead, it's become a place of reactionary head-in-the-sand politics, where a bunch of technophiles who have trouble relating to anything a little human make political statements that would make J. Edgar Hoover proud.
I recently participated in a comment thread following an AP story about Al Gore's visit to Saudi Arabia, where he criticized the treatment of Arabs in the U.S. post-9/11. I didn't even think the article was much to write about, though it was about time a major politician mentioned this.
The comment thread started with someone named sonofhob:
"Constructive criticism is one thing, but badmouthing the U.S. government to a foreign audience might be taking it a bit too far."
Fine. I don't agree with that, but fine.
A little further down, f1_error wrote:
"I always feel like one of the few when I say this but, I really don't like Al Gore. Can't he just learn to shut his yap?"
James Mack:
"I fear the alternate universe where he was in charge during 9/11."
Full Throttle wrote a rambling post ending with:
"As is the norm for Gore he comes off as the ultimate buffoon, and gives another fine example why he's best left out of gov, rather than in it."
"Next news article: 'Al Gore Wins Arab Presidential Election…Changes Name to Allah Gore'"
"At what point does one become a traitor to his own country…"
I'm misleading you here. Mixed in throughout this thread was some support for Gore, though not very strong and overshadowed by comments like the above. And I posted a couple of long posts that to me made sense but did nothing to inspire an actual conversation. Instead, they inspired more blind, unthoughtful jingoism.
What surprised me was that here was a democratic news medium that I assumed would be read and used by knowledgeable, socially aware people, yet something a bit left-of-center was being hammered with an almost racist vigor.
I attribute this in part to the demographic that is reading the site. Newsvine isn't public yet; it's being tested by techies who are in-the-know (they read the right blogs). In my experiences, many techies tend to be libertarian types who want everyone to be free to do what they want, yet have very underdeveloped senses of social issues or how one might relate to one's physical neighbor.
Which may explain why, in response to my attempt to describe the unjust systematic roundup of Pakistani immigrants in Brooklyn post-9/11, one mrcg wrote:
"Against the law is against the law. Who is playing the race card now? Worry about your papers not someone elses. They teach that in every school in the world.
Besides, immigration may soon become a more difficult privilege to get. If you don't like it then you may leave. "
Words of wisdom. It's nice to see technology bring us closer together.

Get the Town newsletter
16:59 24th April 2010
The Terriers booked their place in the Play-Offs with a resounding win at already relegated Stockport County. Lee Clark's men scored six goals with Anthony Pilkington, Theo Robinson (pictured), Jordan Rhodes, Danny Drinkwater, Gary Roberts and substitute Lee Novak all getting on the scoresheet to cap a fabulous afternoon in front of 3,500 Town fans.
GOAL - Town took the lead inside the first two minutes of the game and it was former Hatter Anthony Pilkington who netted the goal. The move originated down the left flank, with Roberts' superb through ball giving Jordan Rhodes the chance to show his pace and strength to bustle past centre-back Barnes; the striker tried to play the ball across goal for Robinson and although his pass was a bit hard, Theo controlled the ball before passing it back to 'Pilks'. The winger's shot from inside the area took a big deflection off a defender, totally wrong-footing the goalkeeper and sending the ball inside the near post to send the sizeable travelling support into raptures.
The Terriers were back on the attack just four minutes later when Rhodes played an infield pass from the left to Drinkwater - he found his central midfield colleague Kay with another pass, but Anthony's 25-yard drive went well wide of Fon Williams' right-hand post.
Pilkington had a very good chance to score his second of the game in the 12th minute, but was denied by a save from Fon Williams. The winger found acres of space inside the Stockport area and was cleverly picked out by Robinson's low pass, but after turning to face goal he placed his left-footed effort within the 'keeper's reach and the ball was pushed to safety.
Stockport created their first chance of note a minute later when big striker Jabo Ibehre momentarily wrestled his way clear of centre-backs Clarke and Trotman, but he powered his 23-yard shot over the crossbar of Alex Smithies.
On-loan MK Dons winger Jemal Johnson hit a tame long range shot into the hands of Smithies in the 22nd minute as the home side finally started to enjoy some possession.
However, normal service was resumed three minutes later when clever play from the left-sided duo of Peltier and Pilkington gave Rhodes the opportunity to shoot from the edge of the box. Rhodes' effort forced the custodian into a save to his right.
Town striker Rhodes looked to have the beating of young defender Barnes every time he got into a one-on-one situation and when Kay's ball around the corner in the 36th minute presented the top scorer with such an opportunity, he made the most of it. Jordan's pace and touch took him flying past the sprawling defender and into the angle of the area, but Fon Williams was on hand again to push away his curling effort before Perkins blocked Pilkington's follow-up.
GOAL - The Terriers did double their advantage in the 37th minute through Theo Robinson.Gary Roberts won a throw-in for his side down the left flank and when Jordan Rhodes collected the ball and forced it past the defender, the speedy striker timed his move behind perfectly to collect the ball and turn it past Fon Williams from eight yards. Stockport felt that Robinson was offside, but referee Woolmer had no doubts that the goal should stand.
Neither side made any substitutions during the half-time interval and the Terriers were soon back on the attack, with Drinkwater's knock over the top in the 48th minute releasing the pacy Robinson into space. Theo ran at defender Swailes and went around his outside, but the ball crossed the dead-ball line before he could pull it back.
BOOKING - Robinson was running at the County defence again two minutes later, forcing right-back Andy Halls to trip him and take a yellow card.
Roberts' wicked delivery from the left flank a minute later picked out Antony Kay at the back post, but the midfielder's nod across goal was agonisingly inches away from Rhodes or Robinson and the 'keeper was able to gather the ball in.
Roberts then collected a clever pass infield from Rhodes as he entered the penalty area moments later, but could only direct his shot straight at the goalkeeper.
Stockport had a rare attempt at goal in the 55th minute when winger Partridge hit a cross into the area, but striker Donnelly's spectacular overhead kick almost hit the roof of the stand.
SUB - Nathan Clarke was introduced to the game in the 58th minute by Lee Clark, replacing Neal Trotman. The big defender immediately disappeared down the tunnel with Assistant Physiotherapist Adam Hirst to receive treatment.
Robinson sent a looping header from Pilkington's cross straight into the hands of Fon Williams as the hour mark approached.
A quickly taken throw from Pilkington found Robinson in acres of space down the left touchline in the 65th minute and the striker did well to cross into the penalty area with his weaker foot, but Roberts could only acrobatically volley the ball wide of goal.
Robinson was permanently in the action at this stage and after collecting a clever pass to feet from Tom Clarke two minutes later, he turned inside Stockport skipper Swailes and sent a deflected shot inches over the crossbar.
GOAL - Town made it three in the 67th minute when striker Jordan Rhodes netted his 23rd goal of a superb season. Anthony Pilkington crafted the goal; operating on the left flank, he collected a pass to feet before turning and skinning Richie Partridge. His low cross towards the near post was diverted onto the post by Theo Robinson, but the rebound fell kindly to the striker who gleefully slammed home before celebrating with the Town supporters.
SUB - Jemal Johnson and Partridge was replaced by Danny Pilkington and David Poole immediately after the third goal.
The Terriers continued to press following the third and a superb break from a Stockport corner almost led to a fourth. Robinson picked up the ball on the halfway line and released it left to send Roberts into space; he beat Danny Pilkington on his outside before standing up a delightful cross to the far post, but Robinson's header hit a defender before bouncing to safety.
SUB - Town made their second substitution in the 76th minute, with Lee Novak replacing goalscorer Rhodes.
Danny Drinkwater worked brilliantly hard throughout the game and it was his harassing of opposition midfield Perkins that led to another chance for his side in the 80th minute. After robbing his opposite number of the ball down the Town right, his low ball across the face of goal dropped to Roberts at the far post but the winger scuffed his effort slightly on the bobbly pitch, allowing a defender to get back and clear the ball off the line.
GOAL - The Terriers did make it four in the 85th minute of the game when Danny Drinkwater netted his second goal for the Club with a delicious free-kick. The set piece was given right on the edge of the area after Peter Clarke was fouled from a Town corner and the midfielder stepped up to curl a brilliant effort past the goalkeeper's left side.
SUB - Lee Clark made his final substitution with four minutes left, with Robbie Simpson making a long-awaited return to action at the expense of the superb Robinson.
Donnelly's snapshot with two minutes remaining was straight at Smithies and Town kept a great clean sheet to compliment their great attacking performance.
GOAL - Town made it a magnificent five in added time when they made their hosts pay for more hesitant play. Stockport centre-back Barnes played a ball into the feet of midfielder Perkins on halfway and when the ball bobbled up, Simpson and Drinkwater combined to rob him of possession; Drinkwater surged forward with the ball before passing to his right for Gary Roberts, who exquisitelylifted the ball over the goalkeeperFon Williams from outside the area.
GOAL - Unbelievably the Terriers made it six moments later through Lee Novak's penalty. The impressive Drinkwater won it, turning one defender inside the area before using his quick feet to draw a foul from a defender. The substitute stepped up and sent the ball low into the bottom corner to complete an amazing scoreline.

This is one of the greatest and most courageous articles I have ever read. A colleague sent it to me last Sunday and I am posting it now. Dr Mearsheimer and I appeared twice together on PBS, Chicago Tonight, WTTW-11 in Chicago and it is even more of an honour retrospectively given the wondrous brilliance of this major article.
The Israel Lobby
John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt
London Review of Books
Excerpts from this major article.
For the past several decades, and especially since the Six-Day War in 1967, the centrepiece of US Middle Eastern policy has been its relationship with Israel. The combination of unwavering support for Israel and the related effort to spread 'democracy' throughout the region has inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion and jeopardised not only US security but that of much of the rest of the world. This situation has no equal in American political history. Why has the US been willing to set aside its own security and that of many of its allies in order to advance the interests of another state? One might assume that the bond between the two countries was based on shared strategic interests or compelling moral imperatives, but neither explanation can account for the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the US provides.
Instead, the thrust of US policy in the region derives almost entirely from domestic politics, and especially the activities of the 'Israel Lobby'. Other special-interest groups have managed to skew foreign policy, but no lobby has managed to divert it as far from what the national interest would suggest, while simultaneously convincing Americans that US interests and those of the other country – in this case, Israel – are essentially identical.
Since the October War in 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of support dwarfing that given to any other state. It has been the largest annual recipient of direct economic and military assistance since 1976, and is the largest recipient in total since World War Two, to the tune of well over $140 billion (in 2004 dollars). Israel receives about $3 billion in direct assistance each year, roughly one-fifth of the foreign aid budget, and worth about $500 a year for every Israeli. This largesse is especially striking since Israel is now a wealthy industrial state with a per capita income roughly equal to that of South Korea or Spain.
Other recipients get their money in quarterly installments, but Israel receives its entire appropriation at the beginning of each fiscal year and can thus earn interest on it. Most recipients of aid given for military purposes are required to spend all of it in the US, but Israel is allowed to use roughly 25 per cent of its allocation to subsidise its own defence industry. It is the only recipient that does not have to account for how the aid is spent, which makes it virtually impossible to prevent the money from being used for purposes the US opposes, such as building settlements on the West Bank. Moreover, the US has provided Israel with nearly $3 billion to develop weapons systems, and given it access to such top-drawer weaponry as Blackhawk helicopters and F-16 jets. Finally, the US gives Israel access to intelligence it denies to its Nato allies and has turned a blind eye to Israel's acquisition of nuclear weapons.
Washington also provides Israel with consistent diplomatic support. Since 1982, the US has vetoed 32 Security Council resolutions critical of Israel, more than the total number of vetoes cast by all the other Security Council members. It blocks the efforts of Arab states to put Israel's nuclear arsenal on the IAEA's agenda. The US comes to the rescue in wartime and takes Israel's side when negotiating peace. The Nixon administration protected it from the threat of Soviet intervention and resupplied it during the October War. Washington was deeply involved in the negotiations that ended that war, as well as in the lengthy 'step-by-step' process that followed, just as it played a key role in the negotiations that preceded and followed the 1993 Oslo Accords. In each case there was occasional friction between US and Israeli officials, but the US consistently supported the Israeli position. One American participant at Camp David in 2000 later said: 'Far too often, we functioned . . . as Israel's lawyer.' Finally, the Bush administration's ambition to transform the Middle East is at least partly aimed at improving Israel's strategic situation.
This extraordinary generosity might be understandable if Israel were a vital strategic asset or if there were a compelling moral case for US backing. But neither explanation is convincing. One might argue that Israel was an asset during the Cold War. By serving as America's proxy after 1967, it helped contain Soviet expansion in the region and inflicted humiliating defeats on Soviet clients like Egypt and Syria. It occasionally helped protect other US allies (like King Hussein of Jordan) and its military prowess forced Moscow to spend more on backing its own client states. It also provided useful intelligence about Soviet capabilities.
Backing Israel was not cheap, however, and it complicated America's relations with the Arab world. For example, the decision to give $2.2 billion in emergency military aid during the October War triggered an Opec oil embargo that inflicted considerable damage on Western economies. For all that, Israel's armed forces were not in a position to protect US interests in the region. The US could not, for example, rely on Israel when the Iranian Revolution in 1979 raised concerns about the security of oil supplies, and had to create its own Rapid Deployment Force instead.
The first Gulf War revealed the extent to which Israel was becoming a strategic burden. The US could not use Israeli bases without rupturing the anti-Iraq coalition, and had to divert resources (e.g. Patriot missile batteries) to prevent Tel Aviv doing anything that might harm the alliance against Saddam Hussein. History repeated itself in 2003: although Israel was eager for the US to attack Iraq, Bush could not ask it to help without triggering Arab opposition. So Israel stayed on the sidelines once again.
Beginning in the 1990s, and even more after 9/11, US support has been justified by the claim that both states are threatened by terrorist groups originating in the Arab and Muslim world, and by 'rogue states' that back these groups and seek weapons of mass destruction. This is taken to mean not only that Washington should give Israel a free hand in dealing with the Palestinians and not press it to make concessions until all Palestinian terrorists are imprisoned or dead, but that the US should go after countries like Iran and Syria. Israel is thus seen as a crucial ally in the war on terror, because its enemies are America's enemies. In fact, Israel is a liability in the war on terror and the broader effort to deal with rogue states.
'Terrorism' is not a single adversary, but a tactic employed by a wide array of political groups. The terrorist organizations that threaten Israel do not threaten the United States, except when it intervenes against them (as in Lebanon in 1982). Moreover, Palestinian terrorism is not random violence directed against Israel or 'the West'; it is largely a response to Israel's prolonged campaign to colonise the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
More important, saying that Israel and the US are united by a shared terrorist threat has the causal relationship backwards: the US has a terrorism problem in good part because it is so closely allied with Israel, not the other way around. Support for Israel is not the only source of anti-American terrorism, but it is an important one, and it makes winning the war on terror more difficult. There is no question that many al-Qaida leaders, including Osama bin Laden, are motivated by Israel's presence in Jerusalem and the plight of the Palestinians. Unconditional support for Israel makes it easier for extremists to rally popular support and to attract recruits.
As for so-called rogue states in the Middle East, they are not a dire threat to vital US interests, except inasmuch as they are a threat to Israel. Even if these states acquire nuclear weapons – which is obviously undesirable – neither America nor Israel could be blackmailed, because the blackmailer could not carry out the threat without suffering overwhelming retaliation. The danger of a nuclear handover to terrorists is equally remote, because a rogue state could not be sure the transfer would go undetected or that it would not be blamed and punished afterwards. The relationship with Israel actually makes it harder for the US to deal with these states. Israel's nuclear arsenal is one reason some of its neighbours want nuclear weapons, and threatening them with regime change merely increases that desire.
A final reason to question Israel's strategic value is that it does not behave like a loyal ally. Israeli officials frequently ignore US requests and renege on promises (including pledges to stop building settlements and to refrain from 'targeted assassinations' of Palestinian leaders). Israel has provided sensitive military technology to potential rivals like China, in what the State Department inspector-general called 'a systematic and growing pattern of unauthorised transfers'. According to the General Accounting Office, Israel also 'conducts the most aggressive espionage operations against the US of any ally'. In addition to the case of Jonathan Pollard, who gave Israel large quantities of classified material in the early 1980s (which it reportedly passed on to the Soviet Union in return for more exit visas for Soviet Jews), a new controversy erupted in 2004 when it was revealed that a key Pentagon official called Larry Franklin had passed classified information to an Israeli diplomat. Israel is hardly the only country that spies on the US, but its willingness to spy on its principal patron casts further doubt on its strategic value.
Israel is often portrayed as David confronted by Goliath, but the converse is closer to the truth. Contrary to popular belief, the Zionists had larger, better equipped and better led forces during the 1947-49 War of Independence, and the Israel Defence Forces won quick and easy victories against Egypt in 1956 and against Egypt, Jordan and Syria in 1967 – all of this before large-scale US aid began flowing. Today, Israel is the strongest military power in the Middle East. Its conventional forces are far superior to those of its neighbours and it is the only state in the region with nuclear weapons. Egypt and Jordan have signed peace treaties with it, and Saudi Arabia has offered to do so. Syria has lost its Soviet patron, Iraq has been devastated by three disastrous wars and Iran is hundreds of miles away. The Palestinians barely have an effective police force, let alone an army that could pose a threat to Israel. According to a 2005 assessment by Tel Aviv University's Jaffee Centre for Strategic Studies, 'the strategic balance decidedly favours Israel, which has continued to widen the qualitative gap between its own military capability and deterrence powers and those of its neighbours.' If backing the underdog were a compelling motive, the United States would be supporting Israel's opponents.
That Israel is a fellow democracy surrounded by hostile dictatorships cannot account for the current level of aid: there are many democracies around the world, but none receives the same lavish support. The US has overthrown democratic governments in the past and supported dictators when this was thought to advance its interests – it has good relations with a number of dictatorships today.
Some aspects of Israeli democracy are at odds with core American values. Unlike the US, where people are supposed to enjoy equal rights irrespective of race, religion or ethnicity, Israel was explicitly founded as a Jewish state and citizenship is based on the principle of blood kinship. Given this, it is not surprising that its 1.3 million Arabs are treated as second-class citizens, or that a recent Israeli government commission found that Israel behaves in a 'neglectful and discriminatory' manner towards them. Its democratic status is also undermined by its refusal to grant the Palestinians a viable state of their own or full political rights.
A third justification is the history of Jewish suffering in the Christian West, especially during the Holocaust. Because Jews were persecuted for centuries and could feel safe only in a Jewish homeland, many people now believe that Israel deserves special treatment from the United States. The country's creation was undoubtedly an appropriate response to the long record of crimes against Jews, but it also brought about fresh crimes against a largely innocent third party: the Palestinians.
This was well understood by Israel's early leaders. David Ben-Gurion told Nahum Goldmann, the president of the World Jewish Congress:
If I were an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country . . . We come from Israel, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?
Since then, Israeli leaders have repeatedly sought to deny the Palestinians' national ambitions. When she was prime minister, Golda Meir famously remarked that 'there is no such thing as a Palestinian.' Pressure from extremist violence and Palestinian population growth has forced subsequent Israeli leaders to disengage from the Gaza Strip and consider other territorial compromises, but not even Yitzhak Rabin was willing to offer the Palestinians a viable state. Ehud Barak's purportedly generous offer at Camp David would have given them only a disarmed set of Bantustans under de facto Israeli control. The tragic history of the Jewish people does not obligate the US to help Israel today no matter what it does.
Israel's backers also portray it as a country that has sought peace at every turn and shown great restraint even when provoked. The Arabs, by contrast, are said to have acted with great wickedness. Yet on the ground, Israel's record is not distinguishable from that of its opponents. Ben-Gurion acknowledged that the early Zionists were far from benevolent towards the Palestinian Arabs, who resisted their encroachments – which is hardly surprising, given that the Zionists were trying to create their own state on Arab land. In the same way, the creation of Israel in 1947-48 involved acts of ethnic cleansing, including executions, massacres and rapes by Jews, and Israel's subsequent conduct has often been brutal, belying any claim to moral superiority. Between 1949 and 1956, for example, Israeli security forces killed between 2700 and 5000 Arab infiltrators, the overwhelming majority of them unarmed. The IDF murdered hundreds of Egyptian prisoners of war in both the 1956 and 1967 wars, while in 1967, it expelled between 100,000 and 260,000 Palestinians from the newly conquered West Bank, and drove 80,000 Syrians from the Golan Heights.

Joel Campbell has rejoined his Arsenal teammates for pre-season training – but the reunion is unlikely to last for long.
The Costa Rican forward has joined the Gunners' squad for a four-day training camp in Austria that will serve as preparation for the Emirates Cup – and, more importantly, for the new Premier League season.
But Campbell's stay of execution with the first team is likely to be a brief one, with Arsene Wenger looking to send him out on loan again – this time to a Premier League club.
West Ham, Everton, Southampton and Newcastle are all said to be interested in the 22-year-old, who impressed for Olympiakos last season in the Champions League and for Costa Rica during their surprising run to the World Cup quarter-finals in Brazil.
Arsenal transfer talk: Potential summer targets
Arsenal transfer talk: Potential summer targets
1/14 Sami Khedira
The World Cup winner looks to be heading to the Emirates if the reports are to be believed, as the Real Madrid midfielder looks set for a £26m switch to the Gunners. Having turned down a new contract and just a year remaining on his current deal, Khedira could soon be Arsenal's latest big-name signing.
Getty Images
2/14 Douglas Costa
Costa is one of six Brazilian players refusing to return to Shaktar Donetsk due to the increasing political unrest in Ukraine. Arsene Wenger is reported to be interested in the 23-year-old, with the Gunners reported to be preparing a move for the attacking midfielder.
3/14 Morgan Schneiderlin
Schneiderlin is a transfer target for the Gunners' fierce rivals Tottenham, but Arsenal are reported to have held talks with the 25-year-old Frenchman over a move that would see him snub Spurs. The midfielder would fill the defensive role that Arsenal are currently lacking.
Getty Images
4/14 John Ruddy
The Norwich goalkeeper would be a shock signing for Arsenal, but rumours have linked the England stopper with a move. Arsenal do need another goalkeeper to replace Lukasz Fabianski, but it is worth noting that Ruddy was part of a side that were relegated last season and conceded the third highest number of goals. The arrival of David Ospina has made it even less likely.
5/14 Iker Casillas
Another goalkeeper linked with Arsenal this summer is Real Madrid stopper Casillas. He's not been the favourite at the Bernabeu for a couple of seasons now and his disastrous World Cup has led to speculation he could move on. Again, the arrival of Ospina makes Arsenal's need for him not so desperate, but Wenger may not want to pass up the chance to sign such an experienced keeper.
6/14 Michy Batshuayi
The Standard Liege star has already stated that he expects to leave at the end of the season, preferring to move to either England or Germany and recently admitting that Arsenal are his favourite team. The 20-year-old striker is the top scorer in the Belgian league this season. Batshuayi can also operate on the wing and has been linked with Everton and Napoli. Arsenal are said to be willing to pay his release clause, which is understood to be £6.5m.
7/14 Javi Martinez
Arsenal are believed to be one of a number of clubs looking at Bayern Munich defender/midfielder Martinez should he become available in the summer. He would not come cheaply though, given the Bavarian club activated his €40m release fee to sign him in 2012.
8/14 Julian Draxler
A move during the January transfer window failed to materialise over Draxler's £37m release clause with Arsenal unwilling to pay the hefty fee, according to Schalke's sporting director. The German international was also said to be a target for Bayern Munich in case Toni Kroos failed to sign a new deal with the Bundesliga champions. However, chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has ruled out a summer move for the highly-rated 20-year-old. Arsenal will have to change their stance over the transfer fee to acquire the attacker with several big clubs interested.
9/14 Juanfran
With Bacary Sagna confirming he will leave at the end of the season, Arsenal look short in the right-back department. A reported £9m move for Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran was rejected, but the Gunners could return for his services should they up their bid.
Getty Images
10/14 Josip Drmic
Arsenal have been linked with the Nurnberg striker recently after Lothar Matthaus claimed on Sky Germany that the Gunners had already signed the 21-year-old. Wenger is said to be keen to bring in the Swiss striker before the World Cup this summer. Drmic is a wanted man after scoring 16 goals in the Bundesliga this season despite his club battling against relegation. Drmic, who has three-years left on his current deal, is reported to have a release clause of less than £5m. Only Bayern Munich star Mario Mandzukic, Borussia Dortmund's Robert Lewandowski and Hertha Berlin striker Adrian Ramos have scored more league goals than Drmic this season.
11/14 Sebastian Jung
Eintracht Frankfurt defender Jung has been monitored by Arsenal this season. The 23-year-old has been one of their best players this season as the Bundesliga side recovered from a bad start to move clear of the relegation battle once they were eliminated from the Europa League. The German could be available for a fee in the region of £2m but the Gunners may face competition from Wolfsburg.
12/14 Atsuto Uchida
Uchida will travel to Brazil for the World Cup as part of Japan's national team, but the Schalke defender could see himself become the subject of interest from Arsenal as they seek a replacement for Bacary Sagna.
Getty Images
13/14 Salomon Kalou
The former Chelsea forward, currently at Lille in France, is interested in a return to the Premier League. To the dismay of Arsenal fans the Ivory Coast international has been linked once again to a move to the Emirates. Kalou could be available for a fee in the region of £2.5m this summer despite still having two years remaining on his current deal at the Ligue 1 side.
14/14 Juan Quintero
Having impressed at the World Cup, Quintero could be on the move just 12 months after joining Porto. Arsenal have been linked with a £15.8m bid for the Colombia midfielder who impressed at the World Cup.
Getty Images
If shirt numbers can be interpreted as a sign of a player's increasing importance and seniority then Campbell's luck may be in. On Saturday he posted a Twitter picture of himself wearing Arsenal training kit emblazoned with No 28 – the shirt left behind by Kieran Gibbs who has taken Bacary Sagna's No 3 jersey.
Campbell has been at Arsenal since 2011 but has yet to make a single competitive appearance for the North London side. He has however gained considerable international experience in spite of his tender age, having been capped 35 times by Costa Rica.
Video: The latest transfer news
His future at the club may yet depend on the success or failure of other deals. According to reports in Italy, AC Milan are showing heavy interest in the winger, whose three-year spell on loan abroad means he is now eligible for a UK work permit.
Milan's interest is contingent on Arsenal successfully completing a deal for the Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Douglas Costa, who has refused to return to the Ukrainian club following the turmoil around the city.Reuse content

I have kind of wandered through life so far half knowing what I want to do in life. It hasn't really been until the last year that I know more of where I want to go in life. I'm a science teacher in training, and trying to help fix the fledgling education system is something I'm passionate about being involved in.
I'm consistently motivated to find routes for self improvement and involvement in the community. I often jump into situations and do what I can to make the best of it. I recently coached a children's basketball team with nearly zero experience in basketball growing up. I'm pretty handy in coming up with creative solutions to problems and making the best of what life throws at me.
I eat pessimism for breakfast and try to keep a positive mind in all situations. I have survived progress into adulthood with a good amount of my child-like wonder. Everything about life and the universe amazes me. I want to see the world and experience all it has to offer. I then hope that I can leave something for the world to continue and inspire those who come after me.
If you are in to Howard Gardner or Jung Typology tests, I'm an ENTJ or ENFJ depending on the day.
I work with kids a lot through my teaching. I love working with kids and always have stories to tell about them. I'm very passionate about my group of kiddos. If you loath to hear about how they acted or the funny stuff they did, we may have some trouble getting along.
When I'm not working I am either cooking, going on long walks, or doing something social with my friends. I try to live a life free of dull moments whenever possible. This often involves camping trips, road trips, trying new restaurants, seeing new movies, and whatever else gets me off the couch and out into the world. I spend a lot of my time also focused on dieting and exercise. I do whatever i can to stay active through hiking, swimming, and walking around town.
I want to live a life where I'm more focused on traveling and having good experiences than owning material possessions.
2. Cooking just about anything. I love to cook. It is my art and i'm constantly thinking about what new things i can make and learn about involving food.
3. Making people laugh. I'm pretty silly and weird. I work with kids all day and have to keep them entertained somehow.
I'm pretty loud when I talk and laugh. I sometimes worry that my neighbors think I'm insane when I will be reading and laugh hysterically.
I am a bigger guy, but I've been steadily losing weight through dieting and staying active.
Food: Greek, Italian, Latin, Middle Eastern, Asian. I like flavorful food.
Music: Strumbellas, Foals, Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Black Keys, Gogol Bordello, Middle Class Rut, BEN FOLDS, Alternative, Sound Tracks, DMX, Disney Songs. Anything really.
TV: Don't watch a ton, but Arrested Development, Last Week Tonight, House of Cards, Game of Thrones, The Venture Bros to name a few.
Too many movies for me to care and list. Pretty much anything except super romance movies and Adam Sandler type comedies.
A soft bed.
Good music.
A cast iron skillet. I use it for everything.
My friends.
Time to meditate.
Ways to have fun and just really enjoy life.
What I will be doing in the next 24 hours.
What will i cook next, and what new spin I can throw on it.
When I will find the right person that compliments my personality.
I also spend a lot of time thinking about self improvement and working toward just being a better person.
You want to face a (nearly) undefeated champion of Cards against Humanity.
You would like to get coffee or have a nice glass of wine sometime.
You laughed at your friends reactions to the Red Wedding.
