Via BBC:
"Leaders of 57 Muslim countries have ended their summit with a warning that the Islamic world is in crisis because of the threat posed by terrorism.
The Organisation of the Islamic Conference statement urges decisive action to fight "deviant ideas".
The meeting in the holy Muslim city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia called for changes in national laws to criminalise financing and incitement of terrorism.
It also called for new school curriculums to purge extremist ideas.
The declaration also said that fatwas, or Islamic religious edicts, must only be issued by those who are authorised to do so.
A BBC analyst says there are doubts over whether the organisation can fulfil its aims, as its meetings are all too often an occasion for stale rhetoric."
Yeah...I doubt it too...

Waterbrook Reserve Merlot 2009
Merlot from Columbia Valley, Washington
Winemaker's Notes
#71 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2012
A developed wine that demonstrates why Washington is recognized as a top Merlot producer. Supple flavors will keep you reaching for another glass.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Supple, vibrant and distinctive for the white pepper and mascarpone notes weaving through the refreshing plum and currant fruit. Lingers impressively with gentle intensity. Drink now through 2015."
Waterbrook Winery
Waterbrook Winery was founded in 1984 by Eric and Janet Rindal and is located in Washington State's lovely Walla Walla Valley. The name was chosen to complement the translation from Nez Perce Indian dialect for the name Walla Walla, meaning "running water." Production has slowly increased to over 35,000 cases annually.

About Columbia ValleyView a map of Columbia Valley wineries
Columbia Valley is the largest of Washington State's wine growing regions, with almost 11 million acres. It encompasses a number of smaller regions, including Yakima Valley, Walla Walla Valley, Red Mountain and more. The vast area consists of a range of climates, allowing viticulturists to plant a diverse selection of grape varieties. Most wineries plant rows sparsely, which helps the vines survive the harsh winters.
Notable FactsMerlot is the most popular and most planted grape of the area, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. Syrah and Riesling are also popular and continue to grow in acreage.
About WashingtonRelated Links:Now the number two producer in the United States, Washington State has also grown in quality.
So how does a state known for rain and coffee produce high quality wines? They plant their grapes on the east side of the Cascade mountains, away from that ever-present rain cloud that sits along the coast. Perhaps wine grapes do well since the sandy loam soils east of the Cascade range give way to an almost desert-like land, saved from drought only by the helpful rivers that run through the area – and the good irrigation systems.
Thinking that the state would do best with typical northern growing grapes like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, turns out the apple state is well-suited for reds, namely Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and, more recently, Syrah. Of course, whites have not been forgotten - Washington State Rieslings range from bone-dry to sweet, are well-structured and high quality, and Chardonnay dominates most of the other white plantings, making a range of wines. But the reds of the region, Merlot in particular, have made Washington State a quality force to be reckoned with.

TURIN – Europe's Jaguar dealers understand that the U.S. is the brand's largest market, and, due to strict emissions standards, they only can sell gasoline versions there. Nevertheless, it frustrates them that the brand doesn't have a single diesel version to offer in Europe, where diesel-fuel cars account for 30%-40% of sales. It's especially galling when rivals Mercedes-Benz, BMW AG and Audi AG offer a range of quality diesel models. Diesel Jaguars, they say, can't come too soon. Some ...

If Monday's Commons debate was post-Leveson showdown lite, today's Culture, Media and Sport Committee hearing was the real thing. We had Max Mosley, who famously won a 2008 court action against the (late) News of the World after it turned over his private life. And we had at least three Tory MPs who could barely contain their fury at Hacked Off's starring role in the Ed Miliband-hosted talks which secured the cross-party regulation deal with David Cameron.
True, the 72-year-old Mosley raised eyebrows when he said he was "just an ordinary member of the public". Philip Davies, a self-confessed advocate of self-regulation who voted against the deal on Monday night, accused him of not being "straight". "You are not here to represent a free press… You're here representing the Hugh Grants of the world."
But Mosley, who has given financial help to hacking victims, said Davies had "absolutely no right" to say that. "Everything that's happened to me has happened. My interest is to see that it doesn't happen to other people, and that if it does happen they can afford the costs of the proceedings I brought. Don't say I'm not straight."
This set the tone for what Davies and his colleagues appeared anxious to turn into the Trial of Hacked Off. Tory MP Conor Burns conducted a vigorous cross-examination on "why did you need to be in the room eating pizza with Ed Miliband doing a deal to change the system of press regulation in this country?" ("Nobody offered us pizza," protested Hacked Off director Brian Cathcart).
The interrogators had two problems, one of which was the witnesses' robustness. Mr Tomlinson is the kind of QC who has the confidence to say (when asked by Tory MP Angie Bray about an ennobled fellow silk's criticism of the exemplary damages to which newspapers who opt out of the new system could be subjected): "I have the greatest respect for David Pannick... but on this point he is just wrong."
The Tory trio were also getting angry with the wrong people. A frustrated Burns asked if David Cameron's "ambassador" Oliver Letwin had been "surprised" to find Hacked Off sitting in the room. No. The unspoken sub-text of the questioning was "Why the hell not?", but that would have required a politically much more awkward interrogation of Letwin, not to mention the Prime Minister.
Earlier, opening a startling second front, Labour MP Jim Sheridan said: "What concerns me is the parasitical elements within the press who abuse their position in here… hiding behind their pen and calling people names… I don't understand why they are allowed to come into this place and behave in the way that they do."
Some seasoned Westminster observers suggested he was referring to sketch writers.

May Have Tried to Cover to Much Area with Radiesse (Lines Above and Below Mouth Did This March 2012 Can I Go Back for More Now
Had Radiesse in Mouth Area March 2012. Can I Go Back for More Now?
Doctor Answers 9
Radiesse and Need for More Filler
More Radiesse can be used to supplement these areas, or another softer filler may be needed for more superficial injection and improvement.
Different fillers have different longevity in different people
Although studies may suggest that a certain filler lasts, say a year on average, each person responds differently. Also repeated use of any filler will often build up a long lasting residual response which lasts after the filler is gone. So yes, it may well be time for more filler and the best one may be Radiesse, or perhaps another to enhance the results of the earlier treatment. Be sure you see a highly experienced expert doctor who specializes in facial aesthetic rejuvenation.
How soon can you return for Radiesse?
Radiesse is a Calcium filler in a gel matrix. While Calcium does last up to a year or so the gel matrix breaks down around 4 months; so it's not unusual to start seeing a loss of correction 4-5 months later. You certainly can return for re-treatment. You will build on what is left and eventually it will take less product to maintain your correction.
You might also like...
Appropriate timing for a touchup with Radiesse
5-6 months is certainly long enough to have touch up for the Radiesse. There shouldn't be any reason why you can't go back and have some more placed if you need it. Ask you injector, sometimes there are "touch up" syringes available for a reduced price.
"YES" to more Radiesse
The goal with the use of all fillers is to achieve full correction to lines, wrinkles or folds. It is not too uncommon to need more treatments at six months or earlier if the original area was under treated. Under treatment is common when a syringe is used to treat too much area or "stretch" a syringe due to budget concerns. A patient will have better results and will be more apt to achieve longevity of their fillers if they receive full correction. Good Luck.
Radiesse Touchup Injection
You can definitely have more Radiesse injected now, and it will likely enhance the original injection, whose effects can last up to a year or more before dissipating.
I have found that it is best to wait at least 6-8 weeks after the initial injection if I am going to add more Radiesse. Not only does this allow any swelling from the original injection to completely go away, but this is the time frame that it seems new collagen has been stimulated and thus I can see just how much more I should add to get the best result.
I would discourage the practice mentioned by one of the other responding physicians of "saving" the product left in a syringe for use at a later date. This is not recommended by the manufacturer, and sterility of the product cannot be guaranteed when it is stored after being opened. Usually there is some place that can use filler, even if different from the initial treatment area, so that the remainder in a syringe can be put to good use at that time rather than setting it aside for later.
Radiesse touchup
Radiesse Injections
Without pictures, it is impossible to give you specific advice on how much to have injected. With any patient it is a fine balance between putting enough filler to smooth the lines and avoiding too much filler to look "injected." Your concern about spreading the syringe too far is common. Most patients need anywhere between 2 to 4 syringes for a full effect. However, since pricing is based per syringe, many patients come in and just want one syringe. In these cases, they may not be able to have a full effect because the product is spread too thin between the multiple areas that they want treated. However, is is also okay to start off conservatively and add more syringes later. So, the quick answer to your question is, yes, it is okay to have more injections.
Good luck.
Web reference: http://www.ShaferPlasticSurgery.com
Radiesse touch up at 6 months in common
If you had Radiesse 6 months ago, you can definitely go back for more now. Radiesse can last up to 18 months in some studies, but the result slowly goes away during that time. At 6 months you probably have lost some volume, and adding a little now can maintain your result in a natural way. It is kind of like dying your hair before your roots fully return. Also, I find that some patients will come in 1 month after treatment for touch ups if they did not get the full correction with the first session. This does not mean the Radiesse went away too quick. It probably means that some of the early improvement you saw was due to swelling and not Radiesse, so more product is needed to maintain that "swollen" look. Good luck.

Hello dear, its sorry to hear that you suffered from so much abuse for such a long period of time and even after that you did not find the emotional support that you were looking for. Howsoever, you have said that now you have a 2 year old son and are well settled but can't find peace in this too, so you should know that persons suffering from abuse and violence are left with deep marks on their psychological makeup which affects their further growth too. Kindly meet a psychotherapist to share your grief, identify and acknowledge your fears and overcoming your difficulties. You will strictly need professional help to come out of your current state of depression. But do know that this is possible and also, you must try, if not for yourself then for your little son who deserves a loving and affectionate childhood.

Darren Bent again demonstrated why Gérard Houllier lavished as much as £24m to bring him to Aston Villa, before revealing that the stricken manager contacted him from his hospital bed to urge him to excel against Stoke City.
The time was 12.45, shortly before acting manager Gary McAllister conducted the team meeting. Bent, checking his text messages, found one from Houllier telling him to "keep going". While he was touched by the gesture, and later dedicated his seventh goal in 12 Villa appearances to him, the England player viewed it as symptomatic of a character possibly too consumed by football for his well-being.
"He won't let it go and that's just him," Bent said. "He's passionate about his football. But hopefully he realises there are times when your health comes first. It was shock to hear he was ill because I saw him the day before [Houllier was admitted to hospital complaining of chest pains] and he looked fine.
"A lot of the lads were down when they heard what had happened to him. For me, being his signing, it was extra important to play for him and try to get a result. He took a gamble paying big money for me when the club were near the relegation zone. I'm hoping he'll be back before long. With his determination, I'm sure he'll want to get back."
Bent has targeted a top-eight finish for Villa this season and hopes his goals will enhance his international opportunities. "I can't score many more than I did last season [25 for Sunderland], and it still wasn't good enough for England. All I can do is keep working and improving, and hopefully [Fabio] Capello will keep picking me."
McAllister, whose faith in his own ability has survived a bruising sacking by Ken Bates at Leeds, is confident Houllier will resume active service.
"I know what type of man he is. He spent time with the French Federation, pushing a pen around a desk, so I know what he loves and where he wants to be. And that's on a training ground every day, with the players."
Brad Friedel thwarted Stoke before Kenwyne Jones' aerial power put them ahead. Bent's glancing header gave Villa fresh impetus, yet Rory Delap, again a goal-maker from a throw-in, explained that the FA Cup finalists were never likely to soft-pedal towards Wembley with Tony Pulis in charge.
"If you ease up and start thinking about the final, you're not going to be playing in it," Delap said. "The manager has shown in the past that anyone who messes about, and doesn't put the work in, will be out of the team and probably out of the club."
Scorers: Aston Villa Bent 43. Stoke Jones 20. Substitutes: Aston Villa Albrighton 5 (Downing, 67), Agbonlahor (Heskey, 79). Stoke Whitehead (Etherington, 73), Fuller (Delap, 75), Diao (Jones, 88).

Am I a good candidate for buccal fat removal? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 4
Buccal fat removal
- You would be a good candidate because it will give more definition for your face
- Seek out an expert in your area
- The procedure is relatively straightforward with incisions inside the mouth and dissolvable sutures
Dr. Nima
Am I a good candidate for buccal fat removal? = Yes you could! #fb #buccalfatpad #cheeks #drmesa #doctormesa
Young patients with full cheeks are ideal candidates for treatment with buccal fat pad removal. By removing the buccal fat pad (fat that makes the lower face/ lower cheeks fuller) the cheek bones are going to look more prominent, thus giving the face a chiseled ("V" shape appearance).
Buccal fat pad removal could be complemented with mild cheek bone augmentation with fillers ( like Voluma or Radiesse) to significantly enhance the results of the buccal fat pad removal.
Patients interested in cheek reduction with buccal fat pad removal should make a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specialized in procedures on the face

Excess cheek fat at 22
- You are a good candidate for buccal fat reduction.
- You have full cheeks -
- You know the fat doesn't go away in older relatives so it is reasonable to have the fat reduced now.
- Find a plastic surgeon who does this - and have the fat reduced, not totally removed.
- The fat in the cheek extends up along the jaw - total removal is not advisable.
- Reducing the excess will give definition to your face.
Always see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

A View of Delft: Vermeer then and Now
Anthony Bailey
Chatto & Windus £16.99, pp272
The modern age was born in the seventeenth century and its cradle for the first few life-grabbing months was in what we now know as the Netherlands, then the United Provinces. Religious toleration and personal liberty on the micro level balanced the macro's republicanism and radical economics that saw capitalism enthusiastically embraced. This is the background for Anthony Bailey's engaging account of the life and influence of the elusive but ever popular Dutch master Johannes Vermeer.
Maybe it is the years he spent working for that great forcing house of fine writing, The New Yorker, but Bailey's style and substance - bringing together all the current research and interpretation - are immensely accessible.
Bailey looks at the effect of Vermeer on other artists, on writers, including Proust, and even on dictators such as Hitler whose art thieves brought Vermeer's The Art of Painting from Vienna to the mountain retreat of Berchtesgarten where it hung between 1942 and 1945. He also details contemporary thefts and forgeries, the most fascinating of which are those of disaffected artist Han van Meegeren who began in the late Thirties with the fake Supper at Emmaus.
Bailey's book, with eight colour pages of the artist's work and 30 black and white reproductions in the text, examines the artist's major works, particularly The Astonomer and The Geographer, which are redolent with the sense of change of that vital century.
The publication of Bailey's book coincides with a three-month exhibition of Vermeer's paintings by the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery to open on 20 June.
Mike Holland
The Electric Rock Garden
Philip Glazebrook
Michael Russell £16.95 pp184
Philip Glazebrook's minor gem begins with his Cambridge relationship with the son of the Rajah of Faridkot, a small princely state in Punjab. David Singh was a short, stout eau de cologned Sikh who drove a Bentley convertible, drank copious amounts of spirits and played bridge. He was happiest in the Pitt Club. While his father's purse was not vast, it did allow him to make forays onto the Continent and to attend as many casinos that would let him in despite the fact that he was underage.
A decade after these harmless escapades, Glazebrook flew to New Delhi and spent a few months in his company, which consisted mainly in playing endless games of chess, tiffin at the Delhi Gymkhana Club and nightly appearances at whatever the fashionable cocktail or buffet diner was attending that evening. There is also a wonderfully Edwardian foray to Faridkot itself - a leisurely existence with bagless partridge shoots and a birthday celebration with 'Muzzle loaders on the lawn, wheezy bagpipes quavering away as the smoke of the salute cleared'.
The title of the book derives from David Singh's grand aside while strolling in the Cambridge Botanical Gardens that 'My grandmother boasts an electric rock garden'.
Instead, Glazebrook later discovered tufts of lawn around an outdoor bar where granny sat listening to scratchy gramophone renditions of 'Tip Toes', 'Lady be Good' and 'Salad Days'. Those who know and cherish E.M. Forster's Hill of Devi or J.R. Ackerley's Hindoo Holiday for their portrayal of the seriously obscure Maharajah of Chhokrapur and the Maharajah of Dewas State Senior will appreciate this slim volume. It successfully describes the awkwardness and semi-formal relationship of Glazebrook and Singh together with a never-breached gulf between the two. It ends when Glazebrook finally tires of even seeing his friend for lunch on one of Singh's now rare visits to the Old Country.
It is a fine portrayal of an Indian era that passed with the Raj. The raw material for this memoir obviously derives from a lengthy contemporary diary kept by Glazebrook, who had hoped to turn his experiences into a novel. Instead, he has written a minor but lapidary account of David Singh's slow but inevitable decline as Singh, trapped in a era indifferent to his antiquated notion of rank and status, drank himself into a sad but dignified end with cirrhosis.

The PIcador Book of Cricket
Edited by Ramachandra Guha
Picador £20, pp476
At a time when Sir Paul Condon's interim report has uncovered all manner of vile and contemptible practices in contemporary cricket and when a pitch invasion leads to a cricketer being assaulted, what is the diehard follower of the most noble of games to do except turn to The Picador Book of Cricket and put behind him for a while talk of murder, greed and bribery?
Ramachandra Guha, whose previous work was the less than enthralling Environmentalism: A Global History, has compiled an anthology of impeccable and peerless writing. Divided into sections which cover Grace to Hutton, Miller to Tendulkar, Little Heroes, Matches and Styles and Themes, Guha has included C.L.R. James, Neville Cardus, Jack Fingleton, John Arlott, R.C. Robertson-Glasgow, Alan Ross and Ian Peebles, all acknowledged masters of their craft. He has also found space for more recent writers such as Mike Selvey, Martin Johnson, Matthew Engel and Frank Keating.
Further, he has unearthed a gem of an essay by a new writer to me, Suji Mukherjee called 'A Jesuit in Patna', a tribute to a young man's school cricket coach and hero. If I had to pick out two pieces, an invidious task given the wealth on offer, which truly stand out, they would undoubtedly be Ralph Barker's 'The Demon Against England', an account of the Ashes Test of 1882, in which the 'Demon' Spofforth (has there ever been a more excitingly named sportsman?) almost single-handedly destroyed the cream of English batting, including W.G. Grace, and Richie Benaud's 'The Last Day at Brisbane', the story of the tied Test between Australia and the West Indies in 1962. This is surely one of the most taut, gut-wrenching and virile pieces of writing on a subject, sport or otherwise.
This is a first-class anthology and Guha is to be praised for allowing true lovers of the game to put behind them for a while the malaise currently besetting the game.

Santos Laguna, the highest-scoring team in Mexico was expected to demolish Toronto FC in their CONCACAF Champions League semifinal series. If that is going to happen, Santos will have to do the demolishing down in Mexico.
Toronto FC put on an inspiring performance to battle the top team in Mexico to a stalemate, as the sides played to a 1-1 draw in Toronto on Wednesday night.
American striker Herculez Gomez continued his torrid scoring pace, notching his ninth goal in seven matches, but TFC's Miguel Aceval delivered an equalizing free kick to send the teams into the second leg of their semifinal series even.
Despite playing without defensive leader Torsten Frings, TFC was able to limit Santos' chances until Gomez struck first off a pass from Darwin Quintero to open the scoring and mark his seventh straight match with a goal.
Aceval responded just seven minutes later with a well-struck free kick that beat Santos goalkeeper Osvaldo Sanchez. TFC had several other chances to score, but never did find a go-ahead goal.
The end of the match was marred by a pair of Santos Laguna red cards, including one to Quintero at the end of the match. Santos defender Osmar Mares was ejected for a 77th-minute challenge on Richard Eckersley. Quintero was shown red after the final whistle for a clash with TFC defender Ashtone Morgan.
The teams face off in the second leg on April 4 in Torreon, where Santos will be heavily favored. The Mexican club went into its second leg against the Seattle Sounders trailing 2-1 after the first leg in the quarterfinals, only to run out to a 6-1 victory in Torreon.
TFC has enjoyed road success in the Champions League as well, eliminating the LA Galaxy with a win at Home Depot Center in their quarterfinal match-up.
TFC will be without striker Danny Koevermans, who drew a yellow card in the match that will force him to sit out the second leg.
Here are the match highlights:
What did you think of the match? Impressed with TFC? Think the Canadian club has a chance in the return leg in Mexico? Hoping Gomez can parlay his hot streak into another U.S. national team call-up?
Share your thoughts below.
The Dude
Any chance that Frings makes it? TFC is gonna have to play out of their freakin' minds to win this game.
Honey badger don't care!
It be would quite a conundrum for MLS to have Toronto FC as the first team to qualify for the club WC!
If TFC can keep their defensive shape and keep some possession I think they have a chance to make it interesting next week. If they let in an early goal it could turn into a disaster quickly. With Koevermans out they won't be tempted to just lob balls forward which might work out well for them.
I want them to go to the club World Cup and not win a single game this season in MLS. That would be cool…
Bob Dole
They just need to defend all hands on deck.. No need to throw too many numbers forward as santos will punish you. If they can nick one on a set piece, then they have a shot at this thing. The other thing is the bench clearing brawl at the end of the game works in TFC's favor, IMO… Anything you can do to get them off their game.
I agree with that. I think Santos expected Toronto to lie down and give them the game, and when that didn't happen, they got frustrated, hence the 2 red cards. Because of that, Santos could be off their game and come out with something to prove, which could either mean TFC is destroyed within the first 20 minutes, or that Santos will make mistakes and give us a shot at it. We'll have to see, TFC is still the obvious underdogs (by quite the margin) but hey, who knows what can happen.
Matt C in Tampa
Can anyone explain what happened surrounding the red card at the very end of the match. Not shown on replays anywhere. With the reaction of the TFC keeper, it appears tha Santos player must have decked a TFC player. It further appears that the AR is the one who spotted the event.
Love it when dirty players and cheap shots get caught.
True North
On the radio this morning I heard Julian DeGuzman say he saw the Santos player headbutt Ashtone Morgan–hence the red card and subsequent scrum.
Rich in DC
Santos not having Quintero is a big loss for Santos, he has been a dangerous player throughout the tournament and he is a player that has provided good service to Hercules Gomez who may or may not be able to play the second leg of the tie. It will depend on the status of his injury that forced him to be subbed off the last night.
Santos are classless. The headbutt on Morgan was awful. Morgan had a bg bump on he head after the game. Then Quintero goes down himself even tho he hit Morgn after the play. I'm proud of TFC . They could have on 3-1 with some luck.
Mark H
I'm under no illusions the difficulty of the task for TFC next week. The Sounders are arguably a better team and they got battered in Mexico.
There needs to be credit given to TFC though. After two awful displays in the MLS the team defended with a pack mentality often not allowing the Mexicans any time to set up and very few quality chances and looked far more dangerous going forward. Part of that may stem from the fact that Santos Laguna, like pretty much every poster on this blog since TFC knocked off the Galaxy, figured Toronto was going to roll over and go away quietly.
That being said, the TFC game plan was solid, the players to a man put in strong performance getting players behind the ball and then looking dangerous on the counter attack. It made for quite an entertaining game. My hope as a supporter is that Toronto puts in the same committed effort and come out of next week's game with more positives than negatives.
I also want to address the whole idea that it would be a conundrum for MLS if Toronto was the first ever team from the MLS to represent the league at the World Club Championships. First of all, its rather presumptuous that the winner of this tie would even make it considering the quality of the two Mexican sides potentially waiting in the final. But playing the assumption game, I think it wouldn't be a conundrum at all for the league rather it would be a victory for the way the league has gone about its business in the last few years that a profitable expansion era team with strong ownership and a rabid fanbase beat two top Mexican sides to win our continental competition. The only conundrum would be for American fans who view the Canadian MLS teams as somehow not equal to their American counterparts.
well said…thanks for the respect
No way a Mexican team playing dirty. Anyways at least Gomez is a honorable player. Good result for TFC, but it's going to be hard for them to pull out a win in Santos. even if santos doesn't score a goal they are through by virtue of their away goal. If it stays tied. I don't think TFC will have enough offensive thrusto get a goal.
have we not learned from the past bunkering in Mexico for 90 minutes is not going to work. by the 70th minute the defense will collapse. And going to toe to toe with them down there is also not an option due to the lack of quality passing MLS teams have.
toronto needs to defend and counter defend and counter all game and hope to get one.
but the way Santos plays at home i expect this to be a 6-0 thrashing
What a classless display from start to finish from Santos Laguna. I have never seen such pandering to the referee for calls in all my life. If anyone has any questions about the first red card, this is all you need to see
I'll say this to all the Santos Laguna apologists, if you're that good how come you need home field to beat us? It's all even and now you have to prove you're better.
Luv it how the Santos coach ripped on CONCACAF for bringing in an "American ref"to officiate an American team against Santos.
Can't decide if CONCACAF's highlight background music is so bad it's good… or just bad.
I saw that- unbelievably dirty play. If it were the EPL he'd be suspended for multiple games.
DeGuzman was a beast out there with Frings absent. He'll need to do that again. Hopefully Cann can get back in to solidify the back line.
Its amazing people like you keep on making these comments…You would think you would have stopped by now after the L.A series. No, I'm certainly not saying Toronto will win in Mexico, but give credit where credit is due.
….. named Ricardo Salazar. If his name was Pierre Tabernac they might have had a valid complaint.
Rich in DC
He is a referee in MLS is what he was trying to say. He thought the ref should be from a league outside of the US and Mexico.
You haven't watched Barcelona play much if you think that was pandering the ref.
Totally cool! They need to work toward these goals!
I can comfortably say that there's no concern of TFC becoming the first MLS representative in the Club World Cup.
I would (and probably should) bet my entire life savings on this.
Do it. DO IT DO IT DO IT!
Judging Amy
If my team just put on that awful display of sportsmanship and unmanly cowardice I would be apologizing not whining about calls. Mexican coaches reflect the excuse-making of their whole soccer culture.
Ricky B. Free
I am sorry to say this but you have no idea what you are talking about. Hercules Gomez began to play when Quintero was sidelined because of injury, was Quintero making passes from the training room or something?
Santos will play Gomez in the wing and Pereira as the lone striker.
I was rooting for TFC, but Salazar should not have reffed the game. If the tables were turned – hypothetically – we would be crying foul as well.
Like always, if the tables are turned there is an excuse. I wonder who's decision was it to put an MLS ref.
I hope every TFC player read Gomez's post-game warning. TFC needs to come out like savages at Torreon. Nothing less will do. Just dont get a red. TFC are kind of sneaky devils. They can pull it off. But yeah, the Mexicans were robbed in Canada last night. It should happen more, to sort of offset the expected robbing of a goal or two American club teams know will happen when they go south of the border.
i hate it when footie sites sanitize themselves by not including clips of scuffles. i also hate tampa, but thats another matter. hey, at least tfc wont be facing darwin, now if only gomez could get ejected or get a small injury during practice. just a small one, not enough to hinder his presence on the national team.
Santos are a classy team with one thug, dont get your panties all in a bunch. I mean, we're not talking about the Gary Smith era Rapids here.
Yeah, do it. I'm sure your dime-store analysis adds up to about 50 cents in life savings.
You can't see much, but there's a clip here: http://www.sportsnet.ca/video/36625012001/40223743001/CONCACAF-TFC-1-Santos-1
Starts around the 50 sec mark
Way too many missed chances for TFC, now they lose Koevermanns. They had the opportunities to be up 4-1 right now.

|David Krejci confident his linemates will start scoring again
|03.15.13 at 2:03 pm ET
WILMINGTON — One of the most glaring issues on a Bruins team that is winning games despite not firing on all cylinders is the lack of production from their two power forwards in Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton.
The pair has struggled mightily to find the back of the net of late, with Lucic having now gone 10 games without a goal and Horton goal-less in his last eight.
They both got more chances Thursday night against the Panthers, and as they struggle to find the back of the net, their focus is on capitalizing on those chances rather than dwelling on the slump.
"You want to do everything you can to get chances, but you want to get results as well," Lucic said after Friday's practice. "For myself especially, it's been a little frustrating lately to not be able to get a goal here, but you've just got to stick with it."
While Lucic and Horton have had difficulty finding the back of the net, their center in David Krejci finds himself in the midst of one of his most consistent seasons in the NHL. Krejci is third on the B's with 21 points (six goals, 15 assists), and the longest stretch without a point for him is two games, which has only happened once.
Now it's just a matter of that success and consistency spreading throughout his line, and Krejci is confident his linemates will find their scoring touch sooner rather than later.
"I think they're getting chances," Krejci said. "Maybe Horty's gotten more chances the last couple games than Looch did, but that means Looch is creating those chances. I think if we're just playing our game and not trying to be too cute out there, it's going to come. I think we've got good chemistry. It doesn't just go away forever. I think it's going to come back and we're going to put the puck in the net consistently. I'm pretty sure of it. We've just got to stick with it, believe that we can do it again. I'm pretty sure it's coming."
Claude Julien said he doesn't have any plans of shaking up his top-six forwards at this time, citing the success of Patrice Bergeron's line as something he doesn't want to disrupt.
|Chris Kelly: 'There's no real time frame' for return
|03.15.13 at 1:38 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Chris Kelly has never missed more than seven games in a regular season, so the next however many weeks is going to be a new experience for him.
"It won't be the best time," Kelly said Friday.
Kelly is out "indefinitely" (Peter Chiarelli's words) as a result of a broken left tibia he suffered in a knee-on-knee collision with Senators forward Chris Neil. Speaking Friday for the first time since the injury and sporting no crutches, cast, or anything other than his clothes, Kelly said he's "hoping" to be back by the end of the regular season, but doesn't know.
"[I'm] just trying to get it better," he said. "There's no real time frame. Just come here, work hard, and let the medical staff and trainers do their job."
Icing to get the swelling down and maintaining the strength in the leg is the priority for Kelly now in the recovery process. The 32-year-old center actually said he considers himself fortunate that the injury he suffered was worse. He knew when he hit the ice that it was bad, but the fear from watching the play in real time was that he could have injured his knee, which would have meant a much longer recovery time and potentially the end of his season.
"You've got to look at the positives in certain situations," Kelly said. "It could have been much worse."
As for the collision itself, Kelly found no problem with it.
"I think it was just a hockey play, to be honest," he said. "Both guys kind of turned there and we didn't really have any place to go. Things happen quick out there, and that's all it was really.
"Chris and I are friends, and he sent me a text right after apologizing. I just said, 'It was a hockey play.' That's all it is."
With Kelly out, the Bruins have gone with Rich Peverley, who has played right wing for the majority of his Bruins career, at center between Jay Pandolfo and Jordan Caron. Though it's probably hard for Kelly to be a spectator, he's liked what he's seen out of the revamped third line over the last two games.
"In the two games, they've had a lot of offensive time and they've moved the puck well," he said. "Pevs has looked great at center. '¦ It's a pretty familiar position for Rich, and I thought the line worked well together."
|Adam McQuaid back at Bruins practice
|03.15.13 at 11:31 am ET
WILMINGTON — Adam McQuaid took the ice for Friday's practice at Ristuccia Arena after missing Thursday's game against the Panthers with an undisclosed injury.
All other Bruins were accounted for Friday at Ristuccia, with Chris Kelly (out indefinitely with a broken tibia) the only player not on the ice. The color-coded lines were the same as they were the last two games.
Milan Lucic – David Krejci – Milan Lucic
Brad Marchand – Patrice Bergeron – Tyler Seguin
Jay Pandolfo – Rich Peverley – Jordan Caron
Daniel Paille – Gregory Campbell – Shawn Thornton
The B's will host the Capitals Saturday and face the Penguins in Pittsburgh Sunday.
|What went right as Bruins beat Panthers
|03.14.13 at 9:26 pm ET
As of Thursday, the Bruins and Panthers will both rivals in Division C next year, so perhaps that's why both turned in C-grade efforts Thursday night. Either way, the Bruins got out of it with a 4-1 win thanks to goals from Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron and Shawn Thornton. Bergeron had two goals, one of which was an empty-netter.
With the victory, the B's improved to 18-4-3 on the season, giving them 39 points. They sit one point behind the idle Canadiens, who lead the Northeast Division and Eastern Conference with 40 points but have played 27 games to the Bruins' 25.
Here's what went right and wrong in the win:
– There was great puck movement throughout the ice for the B's on Bergeron's first goal, starting in their own end. Dennis Seidenberg started by getting the puck to Andrew Ference, who sent it up to Seguin in the neutral zone. With the trio of Seguin, Brad Marchand and Bergeron breaking into the zone, Seguin fed Marchand on the left wing, who sent it back down low to Bergeron, who capitalized with his seventh goal of the season.
Bergeron now has six goals and 11 assists for 17 points over his last 13 games.
– The fourth line came through once again on Boston's third goal, which came as the result of some extra hard work from Shawn Thornton. After taking a feed from Daniel Paille, Shawn Thornton sent the puck across the crease but stuck with the play, going around the net and getting to the puck from the other side after it bounced off a Florida skate and putting it in for his third goal of the season. The fourth line has now scored in three of Boston's last four games.
– Entering Tuesday's game against the Penguins, Zdeno Chara was on pace to have his worst offensive season since 2001-02, but he's changed that with goals in back-to-back games. After a puck bounced to him at the left circle off a David Krejci missed shot, Chara bombed a slap shot past Scott Clemmensen to give him his sixth goal of the season and open the game's scoring.
– The Bruins played like a time that was 100 percent positive they were playing the Panthers, and that effort wouldn't have yielded two points against too many other teams. It was a largely uninspired and careless showing for Boston, with not a strong enough attack and turnovers aplenty. Fortunately for the B's, the competition didn't take advantage.
The B's mustered just seven shots on goal in the second period.
– If both Dougie Hamilton and Tuukka Rask stuck with the play as much as Shawn Matthias did on his goal, perhaps the unassisted shorthanded goal — the first shorthanded goal the B's have allowed this season — would not have been scored. Hamilton and Matthias were both chasing the puck in the Bruins' zone and went down upon reaching it. Matthias sprung back up with the puck and beat a seemingly surprised Rask, while Hamilton was slower to get up and tried to swing a stick to break up the play. His efforts were too late, as Matthias put it past Rask far side.
– David Krejci's line got its chances, but the scoring slumps for Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton continued. Lucic has now gone 10 games without a goal, while Horton's goal-less stretch reached eight games. Both players had plenty of opportunities Thursday night, with Lucic just missing an opportunity to make it 3-1 in the third. With Horton and Lucic driving to the net, Horton sent it to Lucic in front. With plenty of space, the puck bounced off Lucic's skate and the puck was wide and past the net by the time he gained control.
|Rich Peverley becomes center of attention with Chris Kelly out
|03.14.13 at 12:51 pm ET
The Bruins needed more offensive consistency out of their third line, and instead they got even more uncertainty as center Chris Kelly was lost for the time being with a broken left tibia Monday against the Senators.
Things were looking up for Kelly's line when the addition of Jordan Caron yielded a Kelly goal in Caron's season debut Saturday, giving the Caron-Kelly-Rich Peverley line as many goals in one game as the Chris Bourque-Kelly-Peverley line had in 16 games. Yet the trio of Kelly with Caron and Peverley won't be seen again for a while, and for the time being the B's will be working with Peverley between Jay Pandolfo and Caron, as they did Tuesday against the Penguins.
The revamped third line obviously features some shuffling, as Peverley, who has played mostly right wing in his time with the B's, slides to center. Caron, a left wing, is now playing his off-wing on the right to allow Pandolfo to play left. It shows off the versatility that some of the Bruins have to offer, but the line doesn't need versatility, it needs production after a start that has seen uncharacteristically low offensive output from Boston's third line.
The move to center is nothing new for Peverley, who played center in Nashville and Atlanta and has taken plenty of draws in his time with the B's.
"We're lucky to have guys like Pev, and even guys like Seguin that have played center most of their career and can step in there and be comfortable in that petition," Claude Julien said Thursday morning. "Pev is going to have to fill some big shoes there, with Kells being a real versatile centerman that can do a lot of different things for our team. The other thing about Rich is he's extremely good on faceoffs. That's an area where we don't lose a lot."
The third line wasn't on the ice for any of the Penguins' three goals in the final 6:18 to give Pittsburgh a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over the B's, but the trio of Pandolfo, Peverley and Caron also combined for a total of zero shots on goal Tuesday, making it a generally underwhelming debut for the new line.
With "indefinitely" the term used by Peter Chiarelli to describe how Kelly will be out, the line will obviously have time to hit its stride, unless a trade is made or a player is recalled from Providence. Pandolfo is optimistic that he, Peverley and Caron will be able to find the chemistry needed to be a reliable line.
"If we can get some chances and get some chances, it might give us some confidence," Pandolfo said Thursday morning. "That's the biggest thing, is just trying to create some scoring chances and do the job defensively. That's all guys can really worry about."
|Board of Governors approves realignment
|03.14.13 at 12:36 pm ET
The NHL's Board of Governors approved the league's realignment plan Thursday, making the plans for a new two-conference, four-division system official.
The league will consist of 16 teams in the East and 14 teams in the West, with each conference containing two divisions. The divisions have yet to be named.
The Bruins will play in one of the East's divisions with the Red Wings, Sabres, Canadiens, Maple Leafs, Panthers, Lightning and Senators. The other division in the East will consist of Carolina, Columbus, New Jersey, the Rangers, the Islanders, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Washington.
Anaheim, Calgary, Edmonton, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Jose and Vancouver will play in one of the West's divisions, with the other being made up of Chicago, Colorado, Dallas, Minnesota, Nashville, St. Louis and Winnipeg.

|Bruins sign Anthony Camara to entry level contract
|03.14.13 at 12:22 pm ET
The Bruins announced Thursday that they have signed 2011 third-round pick Anthony Camara to an entry level contract.
The gritty Camara's selection raised eyebrows at the time, as the forward had just 14 goals over two full OHL seasons to that point, but his offensive production has picked up considerably since. This season, his fourth in the OHL, he has 36 goals and 24 assists for 60 points and 80 penalty minutes for the Barrie Colts.
Camara has been suspended twice this season, the most recent of which was a six-game ban for a dirty cross-check against the Plymouth Whalers in February.
It's unlikely that Camara will play for Providence this season, as the AHL season will likely be over by the time Barrie is out of the playoffs. For a look at Camara from last summer's development camp, click here.

Culture and European Private Law
The public/ private dichotomy and its critics. The categories public and private have long been fundamental to liberal democratic understanding of social life. Yet however elementary the distinction between public and private may be in modern constitutional democracies, it is a distinction that invites confusion and ambivalence with respect to both its abstract meaning and its practical applications.
Those who would navigate the distinction between public and private, accordingly, are faced with several daunting questions: First, is the distinction conceptually intelligible? ; Second, if it is, how is the distinction drawn? Third, what is the proper relation between the public and private spheres?
Theorists both ancient and modern drew this fundamental distinction in political philosophy. It was a Greeks who first separated the domains of public and private, a distinction that they elevated into a dichotomy. The private sphere was conceived as the "household", wherein family life naturally resided.
It was a domain in which familial ties were fostered ; in which processes of reproduction, birth and death took place. The household was also the appointed realm of the feminine, of women engaged in affairs of domestic life to which nature had ostensibly commissioned them.
In contrast, the public sphere (polis) was the domain of free citizens coming together on an equal basis to resolve issues of state.
For Aristotle public life was the site of authority, reason, and the virtues of civic citizens were equal participants in a common endeavor to live the good life. Domestic life was a necessary complement and precondition of public life. The denigration of the private sphere was axiomatic to Greek conception of politics and human affairs generally. It was a logically inescapable consequence of ethical and metaphysical doctrines fundamental to Greek thought concerning such matters as relation between the sexes, the nature of the good life, and the distinguishing attributes of human existence. Several such assumptions survived into the modern era, informing once again effort of political thinkers to identify the proper relation between public and private life.
Yet the distinction also took on a new meaning and importance in the modern age, as classical liberals sought to found politics directly upon philosophies of the individual. For liberals of the early modern period, the private sphere bears less upon family life than upon the individual.
The separation of public and private spheres serves essentially the distinguish areas of decision making that rightfully belong to political institutions from those belonging to persons as private agents. Early liberals worries in ways that that their forebears had not about the public domain overwhelming the individual or intruding into the private affairs of citizens. Since persons by nature were free, rational, and equal, they were ill served by public institutions that reduced them to the status of subjects.
For classical liberals, the private sphere continues to include the household wherein in accordance with tradition the husband and father is assumed to preside. The combined weight of custom and natural law had deemed that women, children, and domestic servants assume subordinate positions within the household, as feminists and other social critics would later decry. Yet the private sphere would also incorporate economic life, including not only matters of domestic economy but market relation broadly conceived. Liberals of this era inclined to regard property as not only that belonging to the private domain but as itself a fundamental category of political thought.
John Locke John Locke is an obvious case in point, whose Two Treaties of Government proffers a view of the social contract as effecting a state whose primary purpose is to safeguard what are essentially private ends – life, liberty and property. Public institutions are fashioned to ensure private purposes no less, and perhaps more essentially, than communal ends. According, the private sphere is modernity would lose its Greek connotation as a lesser realm of affairs, instead assuming stature and normative importance that it had previously lacked.
Intermediate in the classical liberal scheme of things between the household and the state is the realm of civil society.
Voluntary associations such as corporations, clubs, churches, professional organizations, and so on are neither public nor private in the narrow sense of these terms but occupy a middle position sometimes termed "the social". More often, however, liberals incorporate civil society into the private sphere to distinguish it clearly from the realm of the political – that is, the state.
Business firms and property in particular are described as private in order to protect the marketplace from excessive political intervention. Economic life is an affair of individuals pursuing private ends through the free exchange of goods and services, just as other voluntary associations that are intermediate between the individual and the state engage persons in practices of civic – not political –involvement. While some liberals would prefer to speak of civil society as belonging to the public realm, thus distinguishing it from the private sphere conceived narrowly as the household, the more common view is to conceive the public domain as the domain of government and the private sphere as the realm of individuality, the household, the marketplace, and civil society in general.
The elevation in status, then, of the private in modern times coincides with broadening of its interpretation. The private sphere would be the site not only of personal undertakings and family life but a civic participation in its myriad forms.
As a philosophy profoundly committed to human freedom, one of liberalism's principal concerns would be to safeguard private life from undue intrusion by public institutions in both its older, absolutist forms as well as its contemporary forms – state – sponsored paternalism, for instance, or unlimited majoritarianism. One of liberalism's most celebrated causes, in both its classical and its contemporary manifestation, is to defend individual judgment and conscience against aggressive majorities and the state apparatus at its command. Public institutions and public opinion alike are typically viewed with a measure of suspicion, even as in other respects the public sphere continues to be conceived in modernity largely as it had been for the Greeks – as the domain of sovereign authority, rationality, freedom, and civil association.
More recent times have witnessed an emerging preoccupation with the value of privacy, a narrower realm of concern than that which occupied classical liberals, albeit one directly related to and entailed by traditional liberal concerns. James Fitzjames Stephen, Samuel Warren, and Louis Brandeis, writing in the latter nineteenth century, began to speak of a right of privacy as a method of protection against such emerging realities as an intrusive press and technological advances that made it increasingly possible to trespass upon "the sacred precincts of private and domestic life".
Feminism and public /private "Feminists want to do away the whole public/private dichotomy as it has been understood in the past. Thus feminists stress that they do not intend to have the state insinuating itself into the most intimate parts of people's lives. They are instead emphasizing that the state must stop ignoring the unbelievable abuses that have been protected in the name of privacy; this is, they believe,
a position that is not captured by the public/private distinction as it has been known and used". It is not privacy itself, then, or the separation of public and private spheres that is the source of the problem but the ideological uses to which the distinction has been put.
Judith Wagner DeCew " We need not be pushed to agree that there should be no private realm within which women can live their lives free from state policing and intrusion".
What becomes of the private sphere, and the distinction between public and private, when we concede the feminist argument? If these two realms of social life are no longer conceivable as radically opposed, must the distinction collapse altogether such that human affairs as a totality would fall under the unified category of politics, or "the political"?
Among radical feminists, the answer often appears to be that a distinction in any form – dichotomous or otherwise – is irredeemably ideological, from which it follows that a right of privacy or a private sphere in any form possesses no moral or political legitimacy whatever. MacKinnon, for instance, speaks bravely of the need for feminists to "explode the private", while leaving the implications of this maneuver largely unstated.
What specific consequences for public policy follow from exploding the private sphere? Where, for example, does it leave feminists arguments for abortion which often speak of reproductive matters as covered under the privacy umbrella? Indeed. It was precisely such an argument that the U.S. Supreme Court cited in its decision in Roe v. Wade to decriminalize abortion.
It is equally unclear exactly how seriously such declarations are meant to be taken. Whether the radical feminist proposal to explode the private is to be understood at face value or regarded as mere hyperbole is unclear, particularly to the unitiated.
One of the radical feminist claim: "The claim is not the personal and political are interrelated in important and fascinating ways previously hidden to us by sexist ideology and practice; nor that the personal and the political may be analogous to one another along certain axes of power and privilege, but that the personal is political. What is asserted is an identity, a collapse of the one into the other" (Jean Benthke Elshtain).
We can give you the same argument (Carole Pateman's interpretation): "The most popular slogan of today's feminists movement is the personal is the political, which not only explicitly rejects the liberal separation of the private and public, but also implies that no distinction can or should be drawn between the two spheres".
If this interpretation is correct, the radical feminist program calls for a thoroughgoing rejection of the private, leaving us with an undifferentiated political sphere.
If there is a single proposition to which all of these feminists would agree concerning the distinction between the public and the private, it is that the distinction as traditionally conceived has served to conceal or rationalize relations of power between men and women and that redressing the matter requires a fundamental rethinking of the relation of the personal and the political so that issues of gender inequality may see the light of day.
It is a proposition to which most nonfeminists would likely also assent. Yet where the radical program collapses the public/ private distinction altogether, other feminist and nonfeminist scholars prefer to redraw the boundaries or reconceptualize the distinction in ways that remove vestiges of ideology. Indeed, it is often feminist scholars themselves who argue most effectively on behalf of preserving private life from a potentially totalitarian public order.
"If there are no distinctions between public and private, personal and political, it …..follows that no differentiated activity or set of institutions that are genuinely political, that can serve as common bases of order and purpose in a political community, exist. What does exist within such a collapse of public and private is a vision of pervasive force, coercion, and manipulation(…).
There are few alternatives in such a world: one is either victim or victimizer, oppressor or oppressed, triumhant or abject. Politics itself, as a differentiated sphere of human activity, disappears in this yearning for a totalistic solution to all human woes, a thoroughgoing fusion of all principles".
If the injustices to which radical feminism seeks a remedy are forms of power that consign women to subordinate positions in social life, the remedy is unlikely to come in the form of a power more onerous and totalistic than what it would replace. As a history regularly shows, a public order that reaches into every corner of human affairs give rise not to relations of equality between persons but to a general suppression of human freedom and equality alike.
Privacy is an essential part of the complex social practice by means of which the social group recognizes – and communicates to the individual – that his existence is his own. And this is a precondition of personhood. To be a person, an individual must recognize not just his actual capacity to shape his destiny by his choices. And this in turn presupposes that he believes that the concrete reality which he is, and through which his destiny is realized, belong to him in a moral sense.
