Last Friday Newt Gingrich, one of the founding fathers of the so-called Republican Revolution of the '90s, made the shocking announcement that America is already "in World War III." The idea that we are currently in a world war—or that we would enter such a war under the secretive and feckless leadership of the current White House and Congress in an election year—ought to give us all the big-time heebie-jeebies.
Perhaps someone recalls Congress voting to declare war recently. If so, it must have been done in the smoke-filled backrooms where they put together their energy policy, because it has yet to be made public. To be sure, the frightened and vengeful members of the post-9/11 Congress passed resolutions that President Bush leveraged into his ongoing invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. But despite the constitutional provision in Article I that "Congress shall have the power to declare war," no formal Declaration of War was ever issued. Instead, what we had in Korea, Vietnam, the invasions of Panama and Grenada, the Persian Gulf (Desert Storm) and now Iraq and Afghanistan are "conflicts" being waged under a Congressional "authorization of force."
Considerations of how war is (and is not) declared aside, Gingrich has no problem whatsoever with starting a third world war. In a published interview with Seattle Times reporter David Postman last week, Gingrich said President Bush should call a joint session of Congress in the first week of September and declare World War III underway. According to the article, Newt sees the ongoing "wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, last week's bomb attacks in India, Korean nuclear threats, terrorist arrests and investigations in Florida, Canada and Britain, and violence in Israel and Lebanon as evidence of World War III." What Bush needs to do, Gingrich says, is "connect all the dots" for Americans in a speech before Congress.
Pointing to Israel's recent air and ground attacks in Lebanon, Gingrich says once Americans accept that "this is World War III," criticism and calls for restraint would end. In his exact and chilling words: "Israel wouldn't leave Lebanon as long as there was a single missile there. I would go in and clean them all out and I would announce that any Iranian airplane trying to bring missiles to re-supply them would be shot down. This idea that we have this one-sided war where the other team gets to plan how to kill us and we get to talk, is nuts."
Somehow, Gingrich has lost count of who is doing most of the killing here, who is being killed and who is nuts. Not just in Lebanon but in Afghanistan and Iraq as well, the number of civilians being killed in these undeclared wars is appalling. In Iraq alone, Reuters reports that known civilian deaths are estimated at between 39,123 and 43,575, with the British medical journal Lancet claiming the death count could actually be as high as 100,000. The Associated Press reported this week that 527 civilians have been killed in Iraq in the first 17 days of July, bringing the toll to 1,585 Iraqi citizens killed since the "unity" government took over two months ago.
In Afghanistan, an estimated 3,000-4,000 noncombatant deaths occurred during the initial air strikes—to which you can add the growing number of civilian deaths since then, including an estimated 600 this year alone.
British newspaper The Guardian published an article from an on-site reporter in the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon this week that quotes Ahmed Mrouwe, the director of the local hospital, as saying: "We have received 196 wounded and 25 dead; the majority of them are children and women." Shockingly, he estimates this is one out of every three people in the area's population.
To be sure, not all the civilian deaths in these conflicts are being caused by the United States or Israeli militaries. But equally sure, there's simply no denying the many published reports in which noncombatant deaths have been directly caused by military action. For Gingrich to posit that "the other team gets to plan how to kill us and we get to talk" is not only wildly inaccurate, it is, in his own words, "nuts."
Which brings us to question the real motivation behind Gingrich's plan to push Bush and his corrupt and failing Republican congressional majorities into World War III. Again, in Gingrich's own words from the Seattle Times article, he believes Republicans are "sailing into the wind" in the upcoming election—in large part because the Iraq situation is spiraling into all-out civil war. But public opinion can "change the minute you use the language" of World War III, says Gingrich, because then the message becomes: "OK, if we're in the third world war, which side do you think should win?"
The idea of Bush and Congress using wars for political advantage is nothing new. Didn't we already hear Bush try to sell us this same snake oil with the threat of nonexistent WMDS? Didn't Bush's "message" (and our "mission") then change to "bringing democracy to Iraq"? Weren't we told by Vice President Dick Cheney that the "Iraq insurgency was on its last legs"? Didn't this same cabal promise that the outrageous costs of these foolish adventures "would be paid for by oil revenues"? The lies just keep on coming, our world standing keeps on dropping, the deficit keeps on skyrocketing and the Middle East, far from heading toward a stable Democratic future, is increasingly going up in literal flames.
Gingrich says he plans to take his politically motivated plan to start WWIII to the White House in the coming months, where he may well find acceptance from his fellow Republicans—who are, after all, staring their own political mortality in the face. But given the dismal track record of Bush's wars so far, I'm betting the general populace is going to be smart enough to tell these Republican warmongers "No Thanks!"—and then vote 'em out of office.

- Read Philip Pullman's speech to the Library Campaign Conference
At this weekend's Library Campaign Conference the author Philip Pullman gave an inspirational, polemical, rabbble-rousing speech about the fight for library services, in which he supported calls for nationwide action.
A transcript of this speech has now been published on The Bookseller's website and we strongly recommend clicking through and reading – it is a wonderful piece of language and a shot in the arm for all of us who care about reading, writing, literacy, libraries and the wellbeing of our communities.
Here's a short extract. You can also read a Guardian article reporting on the speech and we will shortly be posting a full conference report.
The Bookseller: Consider the context – Philip Pullman
What about the financial crises we've endured over the past few years, and the way the bankers managed to reward themselves with even bigger bonuses after nearly bringing the whole national economy crashing down around our ears? And who's been terrifying governments with the threat that unless these gluttons were indulged in their every appetite, they would all go off and live in Switzerland? Personally I would say Go, you bastards, and good riddance; but Prime Minister after Prime Minister has been persuaded that we need rich people taking advantage of us in this country. It's good for us to be taken advantage of.
And when we look at the consequences of all this activity, we see a nation where everything seems to have been turned upside down. Do you remember the arguments in favour of privatisation? The state can't run things efficiently, we were told; we need to put enterprises into private hands. I don't know about you, but it seems to me that privatisation makes things more expensive, more complicated, uglier, more difficult to deal with, more difficult to find someone responsible, in every way worse.
And we have very little democratic protection against this. Were we ever asked whether we wanted a state of things like this? Do you think we ever will be? Read the full speech here…

A step by step lesson plan that shows you how to construct a foam and wire mobile.
Last week I taught art at our church's summer sports and art camp. When I teach several different lessons with children I like to teach some aspect of art and then follow it up with an art project that reinforces what I am trying to teach. One of the lessons we did last week was on mobiles. For this lesson I came up with a fun mobile project that each child could make. This was pretty easy for all of the kids, (ages 9 - 11) in my class and they really had a blast with constructing the foam dangle portions for their mobiles. I would highly recommend this project for young and old alike, simply because it is easy, yet can be as involved as anyone would like it to be.What You Need:

Top Spanish official in graft scandal
A former treasurer of Spain's ruling People's Party (PP) hid away his wealth in a Swiss bank account.
Court documents from an on-going judicial investigation into former PP treasurer Luis Barcenas revealed the account held up to €22 million, reports Reuters.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy on Saturday (19 January) said he would crack down on corruption after the documents had been released.
"I will not waiver against inappropriate conduct," said Rajoy.
The party, along with the opposition socialists, has helped govern the nation for the past three decades. In 2011, the conservatives won the general elections and unseated the socialists.
Barcenas was the People's Party financial chief for 28 years until 2009 when he became the focal point of an investigation for allegedly accepting bribes from businesses vying for lucrative government contracts.
The revelations come at a sensitive moment as the ruling party is losing the confidence of its electorate.
Support for the country's top leadership is at a new low, according to a Metroscopia survey published in El Pais on 13 January. Over 80 percent polled have either little or no confidence in Rajoy's stewardship.
Meanwhile, cuts in spending on education, welfare, pensions and health care have affected the weakest.
A drop in real wages means those working are still living within poverty's grasp.
Spain's in-work poverty rate has steadily increased since 2005 and now stands at 11.5 percent. Only Romania and Greece fare worse, says the European Commission.
Around 57 percent of under-25s are unemployed and have been dubbed "the lost generation".
Tens of thousands of Spanish pensioners last December also saw their savings disappear over night after Bankia posted record losses.
The bank then received an €18 billion EU bailout but none went to recover the pensioners' savings.
Despite the sizeable unemployment rates, a banking sector that received some €100 billion over the summer, and an 8 percent budget deficit of GDP, ministers in Madrid expect growth to return later this year.
But corruption antics as those alleged of Barcenas is unlikely to please the party's support base.
The commission estimates that up to 25 percent of a public contracts' value is lost due to corruption in public procurement.
The health care sector alone eats up an estimated €56 billion annually of public money throughout the Union due to kick-backs and bribes.

text: Looking at the teams and the GM's drafting tendencies over past few seasons I've come up with a few archetypes. I'm sure there are more so jump in. Any similarities to any living person or Advanced league GM, is purely coincidental. The Gambler: You swing for the fences. The Cambys, the Davises, the Tinsleys of the league don't scare you off...in fact, you can't resist. You know you're getting value but its the lure of a big payday that makes you click on these guys' names. Your team looks awesome on paper but somehow, by mid season, you're limping along and hoping for a recovery so the league can once again taste the fury of your fully stacked team. The Zookeeper You keep a stable of your favourite pet players. You take them a little high but it makes the season that much more fun. Your draft choices make other GM's say "Bold Move" in public and lick their chops in private. However, you're just putting your money where your mouth is and you're confident that your guy is going to outperform his projections. The BPA picker. You end up with 5 Shooting Guards. How did that happen? You're just rolling with the draft; not reaching to fill any position. Yet somehow, the cookie crumbled in a queer direction. You need to take you team and work out a trade with the guy who drafted 5 Forwards. Your players generally don't bust but its a hell of a time managing them through the season. The Tactician You are loyal to no-one. A cold blooded GM with ice in his veins. All redundancies aside, your team make other GM's soil their pants and invest in Depends stock. Its injury resistant and mixes undervalued sleepers with proven starters. I know you're thinking this is where you belong but chances are you're really supposed to be somewhere else. The Prophet The amount of sleepers on your team would make a narcoleptic seem like an insomniac on speed. Your team will break out someday. No really. They will. The Sith Lord You wear a silly little helmet and you're seemingly the target of 4-5 other GM's...all have some sort of bone to pick with you. Your draft strategy is to grab a Point guard and then cry Uncle by round 5. Somehow your corrupted jedi mind powers allow you to come out ahead in the end as other GM's mysteriously fall off the radar in the final weeks of the playoffs. Anyone in particular? Nah, its just a hasty generalization.

Conceptual Poetics: Cole Swensen
Cole Swensen "What to Do Besides Describe it: Ekphrasis that Ignores the Subject"
(presented at Conceptual Poetry and Its Others Conference, University of Arizona, Tucson)
Cole Swensen began by stating: "In attempting to get beyond the 'emotions recollected in tranquility' paradigm, which is what it seems to me conceptual poetry in its widest sense is trying to do, I've been increasingly drawn to models of poetry as revealing something about the way we think and even expanding our perspectives or patterns of thought."
She then introduced the concept of ekphrasis and the theories of Semir Zeki, a scientist who argued that the visual arts, particularly painting, train us to see constants and to gradually develop overall perceptual constancy. Swensen wondered what the implications and parallels in poetry might be. She commented that in the visual fields, the ways in which we're asked to see and to "read" haven't changed all that much, based as they are on a primary figure/ground relationship. What has changed, she argues, is subject matter. Swensen argues that "Increasingly, the visual arts and some poetry have worked to distill subject matter so that core structural elements and their dynamics are laid bare or at least made much more apparent. but it seems that the visual arts have been more successful at this than poetry, and in part, it's because, after a very promising start, epitomized by Gertrude Stein, who recognized that there was something to be gained in translating cubism's geometric and perspectival shifts into writing, poetry took a turn which confused distillation with simplification, turning precisely away from that which would expose underlying dynamics apparent through rhythm, echo, juxtaposition, etc. and toward simpler language, where 'simpler' was understood to be both 'clearer' and 'truer,'" with the result being poetic language dominated by subject matter, by information.
Swensen posited that ekphrasis as a tool can help poetry by historically analyzing how the visual arts have accomplished this. She concluded with a lengthy participatory group discussion looking a numerous works of modernist visual art to show how a unifying principle between very different subjects could be seen as similar. She asked the audience to "think about how, in each case, subject matter has been modified, compromised, distilled in order to let the dynamics become a little more apparent."

Tallmadge -- As of Jan. 1, households in Tallmadge will notice an increase in their sewer bills of up to 25 percent per quarterly billing cycle.
That's because the city of Tallmadge is passing on the increases the Summit County Department of Environmental Services and the city of Akron have been charging for sewer-related services in an attempt to maintain the money in Tallmadge's sewer fund, according to city officials.
"I believe in the past it was a decision of [City] Council and the administration because we did have such a large fund balance not to tack on some of these increases from the county and Akron," Public Service Director Bryan Esler said. "Unfortunately, we can no longer do that. We are going to have to make these increases."
Sewers treated by the county, which is about one-third of Tallmadge households and businesses, will see a 10 percent rate increase, while customers treated by the city of Akron, will get a 25 percent hike.
County customers pay a minimum of $110 quarterly for water usage of less than 2,000 cubic feet, and city of Akron customers pay at least $72.63 for the same water consumption, according to Esler.
He said the proposed increases won't promote growth in the sewer fund but rather will allow the city to continue its existing operations.
"If we don't raise the rates, the sewer fund will be depleted by the end of 2013, which would force the city to finance the sewer charges from our general fund which is used to pay for things like street paving, snow plowing, leaf collection and all the other operations of the city," Esler said.
The rate increases will remain in effect until Akron or the county changes the rates they bill Tallmadge, Esler said.
Tallmadge buys its water for residents from the city of Akron, but isn't planning to raise those rates in the near future, he said. Dr. Tom Pascarella, the city's director of administration, called the sewer fund a "big problem" and the "biggest challenge" in the city's 2013 budget.
Director of Finance Steve Shanafelt said at the end of 2012 the balance in the sewer fund will be around $1.5 million. The revenue raised through the rate increases will allow the balance in the fund to stay around $1.3 million in 2013, he said.
The rates for households with sewers serviced by the county were last increased in March of 2012. Esler said he knew at that time the increases for those customers wouldn't bring in enough revenue to cover what the county was charging Tallmadge, but he chose to implement the increases in increments rather than impose one large rate hike.
Akron customers' sewer rates were last raised in 2010, he said.

Printers Winning on Paper
"We need to see stronger growth in the printing industry, and stronger demand from printers. Right now, paper is available and there's no reason for printers to be stockpiling it," Paparozzi points out. "There's no indication that prices are going to rise, so there's no reason for printers to be hedging and building inventories as protection against possible future price increases.
"What we've seen," he adds, "is that the industry is still growing, but the rate of growth has slowed, largely because corporate profits, which are such an important measure of business demand for print, have weakened."
He notes the correlation between the slowing in the industry's economy and the softening in paper prices—the beginnings of both which can be traced back to a year ago.
"Prices today are actually lower," Paparozzi says, "reflecting the noticeable moderation in the paper industry's commercial customers. Unless we see some kind of significant increase in printing activity, which would translate into stronger, greater demand for paper, I don't see anything lighting a fire under the demand for paper. Certainly not in 1999."
Mark Noe, purchasing manager for Lehigh Press Cadillac, Broadview, IL, feels the most noteworthy development in the past three months is the weak demand for coated grades. Some mills, he says, have moved tonnage at lower prices through non-traditional distribution outlets.
Like many paper purchasers, Noe says the current softness can be attributed to an excess in foreign capacity, which is washing up on U.S. shores.
"A second factor relates to reduced costs at North American mills through reductions in labor and administrative expenses," Noe says. He believes coated free sheet could climb by as much as 5 percent in the second quarter, and believes uncoated free sheet will see a slight reduction from the announced increase.
In spite of significant mill downtime being taken by the industry, paper demand remains low and any grade of paper is readily available with soft pricing being the norm, according to Addis Hilliker, the vice president of supply chain at Banta Corp.

grille and steering wheel update
had my 2009 750I in to finally have the active stabilizer bar replaced. that persistent bock/ knock noise from the front end is GONE! My dealer gave me a brand new 750LI as a loaner (1800 miles)! I much preferred the thicker steering wheel and the grille from the 2012. Are they interchangeable? Does anyone have a source for steering wheels?
I know the grille is changeable, the steering wheel I'm not too sure about. Check out http://www.realoem.com/bmw/select.do, get the part numbers and visit http://www.schmiedmann.com, input the part number and you'll get pricing.
Someone on the forum a while back had his regular steering wheel replaced with an individual w/ wood trim. Stands out in my mind because I remember it being somewhat expensive since I believe the airbag module had to be replaced too. I think it was LovinM6?
Heads up for anyone looking to swap grilles for the 2013 grille. The part #'s for the 2013 grilles on realoem.com are incorrect; the part #'s showing up for the 2013 are actually 2012 grilles and as of right now the 2013 grilles are not available to order.

Rip and replace stereo plan
I've got everything on order for a total rip and replace of my stereo and I plan to do it pieces. Please let me know if you see any issues or extra items I'd need to do it this way.
First replace headunit, use harness and steering wheel packages, run stock speakers through harness. Test.
Then change out all 6 speakers. Test.
Then add amp, switch speaker wires from harness to new runs going to amp, capping harness speaker wires. Test
Then add basslink. Test. Then backup camera.
My thought is that this allows me to do it piecemeal so I know all the pieces are working in stages, as opposed to ripping everything up and praying. I also thought about using a measuring app on the ipad to track the differences. It's not a solid way to know which sounds better, but which is producing the broadest hertz ranges. I don't see much rework in this process.
I haven't installed a radio in 20 years, so I think slow and steady is best. :)
The dash for the front speakers is a real PITA so just dont put the dash back together in between the stages :)
Yep, I hear ya.
You can do all 4 speakers on the same day. The front speaker pods aren't as bad as people suggest. The passenger side is easy - take it out through the glove box opening. The drivers side takes more time and guts because you have to pull out on the lower dash to the point of it almost breaking and tumble the pod forward and out. The tweeters are simple and the sound bar even easier. Of course if you plan to run new speaker wires with the new amps, you will have to repeat these steps again.
Amps will depend on where you put them. If you plan to use the factory location, do it while your speaker pod is out or you will just have to repeat the process. Some people put them under the seats, but I ultimately used that space for subs. I put all three amps inside the dash since there is quite a bit of room up there if you get a little creative.
I will say this, if you budget 4-6 hours for each stage, it will take you double because of little snafus like connectors, wire routing, trimming and connections. And if you do it piecemeal, you will be doing your teardown and rebuild multiple times in some cases because of access. I bet I have pulled my radio 5-6 times as I changed, added and tweaked my system
Your method works fine if you don't mind tearing apart, testing, tearing apart again, re-testing, tearing apart again, etc. I did mine all at once. Jeep was torn apart for two and a half straight days in late December. Once all the wiring was done, I built the sub enclosure and added the sub (just had to connect the speaker wires). I have since redone the subs, put in a larger sub amp and then added a second sub and second sub amp. Third time around was a charm and I learned a lot in the process.
Awesome, thanks. What subs did you put under the seats? Do you have any pics?

I would get everything at once and complete it in one install. Constantly removing the dash, is going to weaken the connectors to the console, cause them to bend, and ruin them. Then, constantly pulling and changing the wires could lead to a short. Just do it once, get it right the first time, and this is best.

There are so many issues facing teenage boys on the path to adulthood. They often have limited access to their fathers due to family separation or long working hours. They are bombarded by unhealthy influences via the internet and television and advertising serves up the image of the idiotic boy-man again and again.
Glen Gerreyn has written Men of Honour, to help boys of today transition into being respectful and self-sufficient men.

Bulldogs Open Outdoor Season With Furman, ETSU
Feb. 22, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. --- The eighth-ranked University of Georgia men's tennis team (5-3) will play outdoors in Henry Feild Stadium at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex for the first time in 2013 when it hosts Furman and East Tennessee State on Sunday and Monday, respectively.
Georgia wrapped up the indoor portion of the 2012-13 campaign last weekend at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Seattle.
The Bulldogs will take on the Paladins on Sun., Feb. 24 at 1 p.m. before turning around to meet ETSU on Mon., Feb. 25 at 2:30 p.m. Both matches will be held outdoors, weather permitting, and will include live video and live stat coverage on Georgiadogs.com in addition to the Georgia Tennis Live Chat.
Admission is free and open to the public.
LOOKING AT FURMAN: The Paladins enter the weekend at 2-4 overall, and snapped a four-match losing streak last time out in collecting a 5-2 win over Presbyterian on Feb. 10. Furman will meet Alabama on Saturday before making the trip to Athens.
Furman does not currently have any players ranked in the ITA singles or doubles poll. Statistically, Furman has four players with two wins each in the dual match season to lead the way in singles, while in doubles the team of Joel Cook and Andrew Mellow, at 2-2, are Furman's top duo.
Georgia boasts a perfect 35-0 all-time record vs. Furman, including last season's 6-1 win in Athens.
LOOKING AT ETSU: East Tennessee State is 4-3 overall in 2013 following a 4-2 loss to Nebraska on Feb. 16. The Bucs were ranked No. 74 in the ITA team rankings on Feb. 5 before sliding out in the most recent poll. The team currently has no players ranked individually.
On the stat sheet, five ETSU players have collected double-digit wins, led by Rogerio Ribeiro with a singles record of 18-10. Roger Ordeig is next with 15. In doubles, the team of Juan Ramirez and Jorge Varon leads the way for the Bucs with their 12-4 record in 2012-13, including a 3-2 mark in dual matches playing at No. 2.
Georgia is 7-0 in the series vs. ETSU, most recently collecting a 6-1 win over the Bucs in 2012 in Athens at the Lindsey Hopkins Indoor Facility.
LAST TIME OUT: The Georgia men's tennis team (5-3) went 1-2 on the weekend at the 2013 ITA National Team Indoor Championships in Seattle, earning a 4-0 win over Ole Miss in the round of 16 last Friday before suffering a 4-1 setback to No. 3 UCLA in the quarterfinals Saturday and a hard-fought 4-2 loss to Kentucky Sunday in the quarterfinal consolation round.
The Bulldogs were without senior KU Singh on the trip and without freshman Nick Wood for the UCLA match, but still managed to win the doubles point all three days while going a combined 6-1 in completed doubles matches in the tournament.
YOUNG PUPS: Georgia has gotten strong play at the outset of the season from the team's freshmen. Rookie Ben Wagland has compiled a 12-5 mark overall and a 4-2 record in dual matches, including a clinch vs. VCU to send Georgia back to National Indoors. Austin Smith is 11-5 overall and 4-2 in duals, while Nick Wood - who joined the team in January - is 4-1.
IN THE RANKINGS: Georgia came in at No. 8 in the Feb. 19 edition of the ITA team ranking after being ranked No. 6 for each of the first four polls in 2013. With that, the Bulldogs have now been ranked in the top six every week since May 2, 2011 and in the top-10 since March 29, 2011.
Individually, Georgia boasts two players in the singles top 25 in KU Singh (No. 8) and Nathan Pasha (No. 21). In doubles, the team of Pieters and freshman Ben Wagland are No. 5 while Singh and Pasha are No. 27 and Wagland and Pasha No. 29.
ON DECK: The Bulldogs remain at home next week, kicking off SEC play vs. Tennessee on Fri., March 1 at 2:30 p.m. at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.

Windows update stuck at "checking for the latest updates for you computer on Exchange 2007 CA/HT servers
Doing monthly updates to Exchange 2007 servers. Both of the Mailbox servers updated fine. Both of the Client Access/Hub Transport Servers sit at the "Checking for the latest updates for your computer" screen (right after clicking on the custom button to check for updates). They have been checking for over 30 minutes now.
All the exchange servers are running Server 2003 R2 and are fully patched as of a month ago.
have tried rebooting
have tried disable-antispamupdates as suggested on another thread.
patched 30 other servers today with no problems
All replies
Disable-antispamupdates worked for me, however, I needed to kill the update services first.
I ended up setting them to disabled, making these changes then enabling it.
I removed the WuAuServ from the shared svchost and put it on it's own, this stopped the excessive cpu usage.
sc config wuauserv type= own
Then using the Exchange management shell disable-antispamupdates
After this I was able to restart the wuauserv and update the first machine.
The second machine required the same steps from above but I had to rename c:\windows\softwaredistribution to softwaredistribution.bak
After doing that, it took over an hour, but the system did finally pull updates from Microsoft.
It is windows update service error not exchange error.
1.Internet Explorer temporary files corrupted.
2. Background Intelligent and Event Log service not started
3. SoftwareDistribution folder has become corrupted
4. You may need to re-registered some dlls files

WRAPUP 8-World soccer rocked by U.S., Swiss arrests of officials for graft
(Adds Asia Confederation in paragraph 5, fan reaction in paragraph 43)
* Nine FIFA officials, five corporate executives indicted
* Seven top soccer figures arrested in Switzerland
* Authorities seek arrests of others - U.S. prosecutors
* High-ranking officials in Switzerland for FIFA Congress
* Swiss criminal probe related to Russia, Qatar World Cups
By Mike Collett, Brian Homewood and Nate Raymond
ZURICH/NEW YORK, May 27 (Reuters) - The world's most popular sport was plunged into turmoil on Wednesday as seven senior soccer officials were arrested on U.S. corruption charges and faced extradition from Switzerland, whose authorities also announced a criminal investigation into the awarding of the next two World Cups.
The arrests in a dawn raid at a five-star Zurich hotel mark an unprecedented blow against soccer's governing body FIFA, which for years has been dogged by allegations of corruption but always escaped major criminal cases. Continuación...

To clarify various reports that Manchester United striker Robin van Persie was unhappy at life at Old Trafford, United have released news that van Persie is happy with his role in the team.
The news came from the Red Devil's official Twitter account crushing reports that he was on his way out of the club. With a four year contract, van Persie admitted he was happy to play out his contract and even ask for an extension. This release comes with really good timing as the current Premier League champions face long time rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford. A win will surely give Moyes a much needed boost in confidence despite his shaky first season.
Below are the released comments straight from the horse's mouth.
United fans will be ecstatic seeing another one of their star strikers happy at the club. Watch out Liverpool?

Big South Tournament | @GoCamelsBSB | facebook.com/GoCamelsBSB
ROCK HILL, S.C. – Heath Bowers held the Panthers scoreless through six and Seth LaRue knocked in two runs to lead No. 3 Campbell to a 3-1 win over No. 4 High Point, forcing an elimination game Saturday in Big South Championship play at the Winthrop Ballpark.
The two will square off again at 5 p.m. this afternoon for the right to go to the 2014 Big South Championship game.
Campbell improved to 38-19 on the season, while High Point dips to 33-21, taking its first loss of the tournament.
Bowers (10-3) recorded his 10th win of the season, becoming just the third Campbell hurler to double digit wins in a single season. With eight strikeouts on the day, the junior reached 100 this year, becoming the second Camel to ever hit that mark.
Bowers pitched 6 1/3, allowing a run on seven hits with eight punchouts and a walk.
Ryan Thompson entered the game with one out in the top of the seventh, recording his 17th save of the year.
HPU starter Jon Carlson (2-3) took the loss, allowing a run on five hits with two walks and a strikeout.
Conor Lourey surrendered a pair of Campbell scores in relief on two hits with two strikeouts and a walk. Mike Krumm pitched a perfect three frames, striking out one.
After leaving five on in the first four innings, Brooks Borders sparked the fifth with a bunt single to lead it off. Two batters later, John Reilly was hit by a pitch, and Matt Nadolski singled to load the bases with one out.
A passed ball scored Borders from third, and Seth LaRue smacked a single to left-center to put the Camels up 3-0.
High Point scraped across a run in the seventh to make it 3-1, with Josh Spano knocking in Chris Clare. A groundout to first ended the inning, with the Panthers leaving two more stranded, pushing their total to 10 for the game.
Dan McDermott's double was all for HPU in the ninth, leaving 11 men on for the game.
The Panthers loaded the bases in the first with two out, but Bowers picked up his first punchout of the game to escape the inning.
Nadolski finished 2-for-4 on the day for the Camels, also scoring a run, while LaRue picked up his sixth and seventh RBI of the tournament on his fifth hit.
Campbell took a wild 15-11 win to advance Friday vs. No. 6 Coastal Carolina, pounding out 17 hits. On Thursday, Hector Cedano went 8 2/3 while five Camels posted two hit days to lead the Camels to a 6-2 win over No. 7 Charleston Southern, eliminating the Buccaneers from tournament play. Campbell fell to Coastal 9-2 on Tuesday in the tournament opener for both teams.
The Big South Championship game is slated for Sunday at 2 p.m.

The Evening Standard is to host a major public debate on the potential impact on the City of London of Britain quitting the European Union.
With David Cameron promising an in/out referendum on EU membership after the next election, "Brexit" is higher up the political agenda than at any time since the last national poll in 1975. Yet there has been little attention given to the seismic implications for the capital's vital financial services sector in the Square Mile, Docklands and Mayfair.
Over the next seven weeks the Standard will run a series of articles on The City in Europe, examining the arguments on both sides of the debate.
Would an exit devastate the City's status as the financial gateway to Europe or liberate it from damaging Brussels meddling? It will culminate in a public debate at the Guildhall building in the heart of the City on September 9.
A high-profile panel will put the case for and against continued membership from the perspective of the City and the broader business community. Speaking in favour of staying in are Business Secretary Vince Cable, economist Vicky Pryce and captain of industry Sir Martin Sorrell, chief executive of the world's biggest marketing group WPP. Those against continued membership are entrepreneur Luke Johnson, Tory back-bencher Jesse Norman and German-born Labour MP Gisela Stuart.
Debate: Will the City prosper if Britain leaves the EU?
September 9, 6.45–8pm (doors open at 6.15)
Old Library, Guildhall, Gresham Street, London, EC2

Former astronaut Rick Linnehan MC/MPA2009, who has completed four space flights, the most recent last year on space shuttle Endeavour, offered the children of classmates, staff, and faculty a glimpse into space travel through film and first-hand accounts on campus April 27.
The veterinarian, who joined the NASA space program in 1992, urged his young audience to work hard in school if they too wished to become astronauts. He also made himself available for questions, which ranged from "Did you ever get scared" to "What do you eat in space?" (Answers: "Not really, you train so hard and so long, you feel pretty confident about what you're doing" and "You eat and drink out of bags. Food doesn't taste very good in space.")
Linnehan predicted that it wouldn't be long before people will be able to vacation on the moon.

Yen steady, euro rises after G7 fires currency warning
By Marc Jones
LONDON (Reuters) - The yen hovered near three-year lows against the dollar and the euro rose on Tuesday after the Group of Seven industrialized nations urged countries to refrain from competitive devaluations.
The G7 statement said it remained committed to "market-determined" exchange rates, reacting to weeks of concern that the new government of Japan's monetary easing policy, which has also weakened its currency, could trigger far-reaching currency wars.
"We reaffirm that our fiscal and monetary policies have been and will remain oriented towards meeting our respective domestic objectives using domestic instruments, and that we will not target exchange rates," the group said.
The message offered little to suggest that Tokyo is going to come under serious pressure when G20 finance ministers and central bankers meet in Moscow at the end of the week, not least because the United States is employing similar policies.
Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso welcomed the statement, saying it recognized Tokyo's policy steps were not "aimed at influencing currency markets".
The dollar edged up to 94.21 yen, from around 94.16 yen before the statement was issued and just short of Monday's 94.465 yen, which was the highest since May 2010. <FRX/>
U.S. Treasury official Lael Brainard also said on Monday that while competitive devaluations should be avoided, Washington supported Tokyo's efforts to reinvigorate growth and end deflation.
