Britney Spears Gives Legal Control to Fiance
Posted Wednesday April 25, 2012 9:00 PM GMT
A very trusting Britney Spears had her fiancé, Jason Trawick, approved as a co-conservator by a Los Angeles judge on Wednesday (April 25).
"Jamie's thrilled," his attorney Geraldine Wyle told reporters following the hearing, referring to Spears' father. "It's all in the family."
The pop-star's dad was already one of her conservators and was apparently a strong supporter behind the move to have Trawick involved in Britney's future concerns, but it came from her request after a petition was filed on April 6.
Typically conservators have legal authority over a person's well-being and life decisions, but according to a friend of Spear's, she has plenty of personal space and the title is simply in name only.

"The thing with Zach is that he continues to work hard," Pawlowski said. "He got a pitch that he could handle and turned it loose. We had scored one at that point so we were up by two and that kind of gave us a huge lift to put four more on the board. It was a big hit, a big home run for him, a big home run for our team, and a great win for our team."
Clinging to a 5-4 lead in a game that Auburn had seen slipping from its grasp since the first inning, the Tigers needed some insurance as the Tigers came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing reliever Dylan Chavez, Cullen Wacker walked with one out and moved to third on a single by Garrett Cooper. That was it for Chavez as Ole Miss went to the bullpen once again, this time for Chris Ellis.
With runners on the corners and leading by one, Auburn was looking for at least one run as Justin Bryant put down a bunt that scored Wacker from third to put the Tigers up 6-4. The throw to the plate allowed Bryant to reach first base safely and one out later a walk to Caleb Bowen loaded the bases for Alvord.
Getting a pitch to drive the sophomore launched a ball deep over the wall in left field for a grand slam. It was his second home run of the season and the biggest hit of his Auburn career as it gave the Tigers a commanding 10-4 advantage on the way to the win.
On the mound Auburn got a solid outing from both starter Will Kendall and reliever Slade Smith. Improving to 3-0 on the season, Kendall allowed four runs on four hits in five innings. Pitching very well out of the bullpen, Smith didn't allow a run in four innings on four hits. Pawlowski said the job they did was a huge part of the victory.
"When you score runs like this, five runs in an inning, we've talked about no rebound runs," Pawlowski said. "We went out there and shut them down in the bottom of the first to keep the momentum in our dugout. That was very important for us. We did that twice with Slade Smith after we scored our next five.
"I thought he (Kendall) did a really good job," he added. "The only thing we would like to have back is obviously the home run. For the most part he showed three pitches for strikes. I thought he did a good job. Obviously Slade Smith came in and we feel very confident in his ability to throw strikes and get some outs."
In addition to Alvord's two hits and four RBI, sophomore Ryan Tella had another big day at the plate with three hits and a run scored. He now has six hits in the series for the Tigers. Cooper also added a pair of hits and two runs scored for Auburn on the day.
After struggling to take advantage of opportunities in a 2-1 loss Friday night, Auburn didn't have that same problem to open the game on Saturday as five Rebel errors helped the Tigers to a 5-0 advantage. Leading off the game for the Tigers, Jay Gonzalez singled on an 0-2 pitch to put Auburn's offense in business. Creed Simpson was up next and the senior hit a ground ball back to Ole Miss starter R.J. Hively on the mound. His throw looked to be a good one to the bag at second, but shortstop Blake Newalu missed the ball to allow both runners to reach safely.
The troubles were just beginning for Ole Miss however as Tella put down a perfect bunt that catcher Will Allen fielded and threw away at first. The error allowed Gonzalez to score and put a pair of runners on for Wacker. A catcher's interference call put the senior outfielder on first base to load the bases for Cooper and the junior college transfer delivered with a single to center field. The hit scored two runners for the 3-0 Auburn lead.
Following a Bryant ground ball that moved both runners into scoring position, Glevenyak bunted the ball back to Hively on the mound, but his throw to the plate was wild. The error allowed Cooper to score for the four-run advantage and when Bowen's fly ball scored Glevenyak moments later, just like that it was 5-0 Auburn after a half-inning of play.
After sitting down Ole Miss in order in the first inning, Kendall got the first two hitters in the second before running into trouble. Giving up a double to Allen, the sophomore gave up his first earned run of the year when Preston Overbey singled to left field to put the Rebels on the board.
That's how things would stay until the Rebels added a pair of runs in the fourth on one swing of the bat. First baseman matt snyder led off the inning with a single and moved to second moments later on a throwing error by Simpson at second base. Kendall looked like he would get out of the jam however as Allen hit into a double play to leave Snyder at third with two outs. However Overbey again came up big for Ole Miss as his two-run homer to left field cut into the Auburn lead. Through four innings the Tigers held a 5-3 advantage.
A leadoff walk to Alex Yarbrough in the sixth would be the end of the day for Kendall as Smith came on in relief and promptly gave up a double to Snyder down the right field line to easily score the runner from first. The junior answered the call on the mound however as he came back to get the next three Ole Miss hitters and keep Auburn ahead 5-4.
After blowing up in the first inning, Hively recovered to shut down the Auburn offense the rest of the way as his scoreless seventh inning was the sixth consecutive he kept the Tigers off the scoreboard. Reliever Dylan Chavez came in to replace him in the eighth and keep the pressure on the Auburn offense, but the move would prove to be fatal for the Rebels as the Tigers broke it open to secure the win.
Auburn will go for the series win on Sunday with freshman pitcher Daniel Koger (1-1, 1.82 ERA) on the mound against right-hander Mike Mayers (2-1, 3.43) for the Rebels. The first pitch is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

Ian Sinclair denies part in insolvent trading
Page Tools
The saga of Harts Australasia, the "colourful" Brisbane accountancy firm that went broke, was brought back to life this week by new claims that its directors, former National Party leader Ian Sinclair among them, permitted the company to trade while insolvent.
Liquidator Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu stated in a circular tabled at a creditors' meeting in Brisbane that it was "of the opinion" the Harts group of companies was insolvent from March 2001. Harts collapsed seven months later owing $60 million to $70 million.
The failed business had chewed up $30 million, and then some, raised in a stock exchange listing only 18 months before.
Mr Sinclair, who chaired Harts, and other directors, including former Labor politician Ben Humphreys, would be personally liable for the large losses suffered by creditors if it were found they had allowed the company to trade whilst insolvent.
"Our investigations in relation to the solvency of [the Harts group] have been extensive and we consider that there may be an action against the directors for breaching their duty to prevent insolvent trading," Deloitte said in the circular.
Mr Sinclair said he and his fellow directors, who resigned several months before Harts went under, would "vigorously" defend themselves.
"The board was kept totally in the dark about the figures," he said. "We were given assurances at every board meeting that the company was solvent."
Mr Sinclair said the executive directors, including founder Steven Hart, had kept the company's accounts to themselves.
"The numbers were just not available to us and we had real trouble getting exact financial details on the affairs of the company," Mr Sinclair said. "We had great difficulty exercising our responsibilities and that was the reason each of us resigned."
Apart from headlines there is not much left of the Harts carcass, the firm founded by Mr Hart in 1979 that expanded throughout all the mainland states and New Zealand.
Mr Hart, the company's biggest shareholder when it listed on the ASX, has started a four-year stretch in jail for defrauding the Australian Tax Office and one-time executive director Maxwell John Sweetman is facing insider trading charges.
The ubiquitous English model Gabrielle "The Pleasure Machine" Richens also elbows her way into the story as the former girlfriend of Hamish Watson, the flamboyant futures broker banned for his dealings in Harts shares.
While all that plays out, creditors are picking over what is left.
Deloitte has not finalised its investigation but hopes to target about $1.7 million in unfair preference payments.
These payments occur when a creditor unfairly receives funds ahead of others. To succeed with the claim the liquidator needs to prove insolvent trading.

I feel like I'm getting hated on here... just asking a question. I'm hearing a lot of horrible things, but have yet to read any horror stories/see any evidence.Can someone explain how this wheel size is going to cause problems with transfer case or transmission? It's a little extra width, but how is this going to cause such a drastic impact?
I also read that using the same size tire on both wheels (since it's only a .5 inch difference) might mitigate the effect of the staggered setup. I'm not opposed to running identical 225s or 235s on the front and back. What do you think? Does this make sense, or will the tire still be the same since it would stretch to fill the 8.5" regardless of tire width.
I get that staggered on an Xi doesn't really fit the purpose, but I'm in Texas and don't really utilize the AWD capabilities as it is. Also, I was going to put this in the wheel/tire section, but I thought it'd get more attention in the main forums and I also was inquiring about value, think the general forum would give that more attention. Feel free to move me - sorry.

Alright So this thing has been in the works for a while now. Between moving, moving for work, going away to be trained for work, and having no money at any given time inbetween progress has been slow.
I have gone through about three different engine managments since this all started and finally settled on one I like. I have 034 in both my projects, the audi and this one. 034 Ic and IIc are pretty easy to tune and use and have a lot of support unlike the megasquirt and other systems I used.
The final goal for this car is hopefully going to be syncro, and I have been trying to source some passat parts in canada since I live so close now. but first... buttoning up the other stuff.
Right now the car is at paint and has been since a month and a half ago. It was supposed to be in and done weeks ago but not so much. Should be pretty nice once it finally is finished though. Front and rear fenders are getting stretched, and its going to be Europa Blue.
I picked up some sweet BBS RF Design 5000's for it. Already ordered two inch lips and going to be getting some one inch for the front. I was looking around and was debating what to do for bolts, and came to the conclusion im going to experiment. I want to Copper electroplate pretty much everything. wheel bolts, intake manifold, valve cover, alternator. The engine bay is shaved and in truck beliner so it should contrast well and Go nice with the Europa blue.
Here is a previous thread of the work done to the body. Spent some time on a rotisserie being cleaned up and seam welded.

The sophomore tailback still doesn't quite have the full blessing of Georgia's medical staff to take on full-contact work, and he was held back as the Bulldogs began two-a-day practices Thursday.
He's more than ready to fully join the crowded running back mix at Georgia.
"I'm anxious," he said after Thursday's morning practice. "It's just the fact that I've been out a year. I love football. For the passion of the game, I want to get back out there."
He feels ready, but Kregg Lumpkin - who tore an ACL on the first day of practice last year - hasn't been completely cleared for full action.
"I've just got to wait and listen to the doctor," he said. "Right now, I've got some tendonitis and I think that's what's holding me back."
Running backs coach Kirby Smart can't be any less worried about Lumpkin, and said talk about him getting hit is moot.
"That's way overrated," said Smart. "Right now, Kregg's getting the crap knocked out of him every play. When they're hitting him, they're grabbing him.
"Our defense is an aggressive defense. They're not treating Lumpkin any different than anybody else. He's been on the ground."
Lumpkin is unofficially third on the depth chart at tailback behind Thomas Brown and Danny Ware, also sophomores.
All three had fairly similar freshman seasons, Lumpkin two years ago and Brown and Ware last year.
Lumpkin ran 112 times for 523 yards and six touchdowns, getting 4.7 yards a carry for the 11-3 Bulldogs.
Ware battled some injuries last year and carried 138 times for 724 yards and four scores, getting an even five yards a try.
Brown blossomed in Ware's absence for 875 yards and eight touchdowns on 172 rushes, 5.1 a run.
Lumpkin knows there'll be only so much room in the backfield.
"(I'll) support the those two and the other running backs," he said, "and be a role player as much as I can.
"I feel mentally and physically stronger. Just waiting to put all that together to the test."

Hi! I bought the wordpress theme and I couldn't make the "Revolutions Slider" work. I bought this theme because I wanted to use that particular feature, could you please tell me what I should do to make it work? Is it j.query or something else?
Hi! Please watch the screencast, there you have step by step instruction how to set the template and much more. It's very simple and we believe that you can handle.
Unzip the file that you downloaded from ThemeForest. Then go to folder "/Documentation" and click on "index.html". On the left side menu, click on "Video manual". On the right side you'll see a table of contents video tutorials.
I followed your instructions but my "header type" drop down menu doesn't show the option "Revolution slider" as shown on the video tutorial… What should I do to fix this issue???? Thanks
The manual is explained that, Revolution slider is a 3rs party plugin and you need to install it. Have you installed the plug-in and added slides?
GOT IT! thanks for your advice. now the issue is the slider seems to be the aligned to the right: http://www.facturstu.com.ar/francais/ and I don't know where to adjust it to be centered. Could you please help me? Thanks again!!
I checked on chrome and it's fine. On what browser you checked?
on Firefox is not working, i can see it ok on chrome and safari too… but not firefox. Thank you for your concern. regards.
Unfortunately, now I can not see your site (Bandwidth Limit Exceeded). Check out their logo because it can sometimes extend beyond the header, and then there is a bug in firefox.
The "All, DJ Envato, DJ Graph…" select buttons in the "Releases" page are not working on local nor on server. Is there a quick fix for this? Thank you.
Hi, please do not hesitate to submit a ticket via our online help desk: http://rascalslabs.ticksy.com/ – our support staff will get back to you ASAP and assist with theme setup.
hi, am interested in purchasing the template. one thing i wonder about: in the "single gallery album", are the "thubnails" generated automatically? and are the big pictures, after clicking a thubnail, scaled automatically? in your sample gallery, the thubnails and the pictures seem to have the same size. this wouldnt be that good…. thanks in advance for your quick reply. tim
Hi, Thumbnails are automatically scales. You can set up a separate image for the thumbnails and fullsize image. You can also set the video or SoundCloud in lightbox window. See: https://www.diigo.com/item/image/1ioov/thn4?size=o
Hi, i just purchased this great theme and i am a bit confused… there is no other "Header Type" than Homepage Masonry (Content and Nivo Slider), but i want to use Homepage Revolution Slider or Fullslider wich i saw at your demo. Could you help me?
Version 1.0.4
Um, wow. Great template. Haven't bought yet just waiting for feedback from my friend as we're designing a site for his music. I saw the wordpress version – really impressed by the music player.
Thank you!
First of all EXCELLENT theme! I have a question. I am getting this message instead of the twitter feed:
"Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 150 requests per hour."
I'm not sure what this means. Can you help?
Thanks, KM
Of course we will help you, but send to us your question again through our support system http://rascalslabs.ticksy.com/. Enter the purchase code before you send a ticket. We will respond as fast as possible. Send us following data:
- Your problem/request
- Theme version
First and foremost its a great theme 2 things though 1. I had to use my own custom twitter JS/CSS script because, like the guy above me, it kept getting this "Rate limited exceeded…" nonsense 2. The music player for some reason is not working in firefox. It used to work 2 weeks ago, but now has stopped working. I have spent considerable time trying to investigate the problem. Then I went back to your own live demo and it isn't working there either. So there must be something wrong with the code. please let me know when you have resolved this issue. Firefox is a major browser, and it should work there as well
Of course we will help you, but send to us your question again through our support system http://rascalslabs.ticksy.com/. Enter the purchase code before you send a ticket. We will respond as fast as possible. Send us following data:
- Your problem/request
- Theme version
includes the contact form file.php?
Yes, this file is included in the template.
Great work!
In page artists.html, the stats numbers on the page-header don't horizontal align, the first is closer to top.
Hi, Thank you for purchasing my theme.
Please download and reinstall last version of EPROM theme, everything will work perfect
Latest version:: 1.0.6

That has always bothered me about Amtrak... I'm glad to see this.
This is a discussion on Possible new rules for Amtrak soon within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; This is probalby old news to some but I learned about it today while talking to an Amtrak Police Officer: Senate Amendment 798, an amendment ...
This is probalby old news to some but I learned about it today while talking to an Amtrak Police Officer:This is potentially good news for civilian gun owners !Senate Amendment 798, an amendment to the Budget bill, was offered by U.S. Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) and supported by NRA-ILA. The purpose of the amendment is to ensure that law-abiding Amtrak passengers are allowed to securely transport firearms in their checked baggage. The measure prohibits funds from being appropriated to Amtrak unless firearms are allowed in checked baggage on Amtrak trains. The Senate passed this amendment on Thursday, April 2, by a vote of 63-35.
While my LEO friends/co-workers can currently carry concealed "While on Official Police Business" on Amtrak, I can't currently even take mine on the train in my checked baggage.
This amendment, if it passes the house, would give travelers a choice. As a person with a disability (wheelchair user) Amtrak offers MUCH more accessibility to me, even if it does take longer than flying. Being able to have my firearm once I reach my destination could be yet another benefit to folks like me.
Lets hope for the best !

This is good news. I enjoy riding the train.
We have considered train travel but declined because of not having my sidearm at the destination. I would be curious as to the security of the checked bags...I was not impressed with bag security the last time we were on a train. (years ago...)

I doubt that luggage is secure enough on Amtrak for them to be able to allow weapons in checked luggage; uh, put it differently, I wouldn't want to check my luggage with a weapon in it on Amtrak even if permissible.
What is needed is the right for permit holders to carry on board when in states that honor their permits. What would be better, would be national reciprocity honored along with a right to carry concealed while on board.
I can't think of a single sensible reason why license holders should be forbidden to carry on board. The present Amtrak rules make no sense.
Uh, I also think it is absolutely ridiculous that you need a government issued ID to get on board. Do the idiots at Homeland Security actually think a passenger can hijack a train?
(Much of this is of course quite moot, as the best lines run through DC, Maryland, Jersey, NY, CT, MA, CA, IL. "Checkmate.")
Hey I got an idea. Instead of having to worry about the guns in checked baggage, how bout allowing people to safely carry in a holster. What a novel idea........
Prepare for the worst and hope it never happens
Wow, i travel on Amtrak quite often and have always carried. I never knew it was not allowed. Even checked for any rules regarding this in there little pamphlet they give you when you board and i never heard anything about it.
"Anyone worth shooting, is probably worth shooting several times."
Yeah...the current Amtrak rules for civillians are pretty clear on their website.. absolutely no firearms/ammo...no carry...not in baggage (checked or unchecked)...just plain none.
Even LEO's may only currently carry if they are on Official Police Business.
Obviously it would be nice for them to allow permitted carry but it would be great to at least make some progress. The problem here in the Northeast (as another poster mentioned) is that the train travels through...and stops in....several states that have VERY restrictive carry laws.

Yes, Amtrak was against this new proposal too.
Hopefully those who prefer this method of travel will be able to do so.

Amtrak - Traveling With Amtrak - Policies - Terms of TransportationGoverning Law
All travel on, and transactions with, Amtrak is governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, United States of America, without regards to its principles of conflicts of law. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any State or Federal court located in the District of Columbia, United States of America, and waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. - Jim Elliott
The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
Albert Einstein
Can you cite this? I've seen the prohibition against putting it in luggage but not on body.
Perhaps a better law would be to create a special government jurisdiction along the rail line that honors CCWs as long as you stay on the train.
The prohibited items listed on the Amtrak website should be viewed just like the TSA list for airflight. Just because it does not specifically say that you can not carry them on your person doesn't mean that you could carry the item onto the plane on your person. The item is simply prohibited. The difference is that there are not checkpoints and scanners to catch you at Amtrak stations...yet.
I'm the President of our local Police Union and we're planning a trip to DC for National Police Memorial Week and I have spoken Amtrak Police personally concerning firearms. They made it very clear that the ONLY time even a LEO is authorized to have a firearm on Amtrak is if they are a Sworn, active Police Officer AND on Official Business. Even a sworn LEO on vacation with their family would NOT be allowed to have a firearm, carried OR checked in their baggage.
I'm not an attorney--- but until the amendment passes and goes into effect it's probably not a good idea to be carrying a firearm on Amtrak.

If I file for bankruptcy is my Social Security income exempt?
Answer: For the most part, your social security money is protected when you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. But not if you've mixed the money with other funds. Read on to learn more.
What Is Exempt Property?
When you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the bankruptcy trustee can take your property and sell it to repay your creditors. However, the trustee cannot take anything that is "exempt" by law. Federal bankruptcy law and states have set forth lists of property that are exempt up to a certain amount. To learn more about exemptions and the role they play in Chapter 7 bankruptcy, see our Bankruptcy Exemptions area.
Social Security Funds in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
So what happens to your social security money when you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
If you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your ongoing social security payments are exempt, which means you keep them.
Social security payments you received before you file for bankruptcy are also exempt, with one important exception. If you comingled (mixed) the social security money with other money, you may lose the exemption.

In my previous column I reported on a conversation with Tab Ramos in Q&A form. But the longer the conversation lasted, the clearer it became that my questions were not really adding much, and were merely getting in the way of Ramos' thought flow. So this time, Ramos does all the talking as he explains his methods in putting together the U.S. team for the 2012 U-20 World Cup, and his thoughts on coaching in general. I did, eventually, have three questions -- which, along with Ramos's answers, I've tacked on at the end.
TAB RAMOS: In 2004 I had started a youth soccer club in Holmdel, New Jersey -- NJSA 04 -- so I was coaching different age groups from nine upward -- really doing exactly what Xabier Azkargorta had told me I needed to do -- work my way up and learn all of the basics -- no shortcuts.
Also in 2004, I began to get more and more involved with the U.S. Soccer Federation and joined their technical taskforce. I enjoyed the meetings -- there were one or two each year, usually in Chicago. I was finding a new respect for the game by seeing just how many people were involved in solving developmental issues, how they'd go about it, how long it takes to get things done and how patient you have to be to wait for results. It wasn't all just important coaches or U.S. Soccer Federation officials. There were representatives of MLS, Nike, U.S. Youth Soccer, etc. All people who could really make a difference.
So now I'm seeing soccer from a totally different perspective. I started to think about the present and the future, what we could be doing to make our players better. The type of players we should be looking for.
Right after the 2006 World Cup, the Federation called again and offered a little more responsibility, and this was a big surprise. They'd just decided to make a coaching change and remove Bruce Arena as the national team coach, and now they needed someone to send to the post-World Cup technical seminar in Germany. I jumped at the chance and traveled there with Bob Jenkins who was U.S. Soccer Director of Coaching at the time.
It was an amazing experience -- the World Cup coaches, all the best coaches in the world -- I saw some I had met before and met and spoke with many I had only seen on TV. I think this was what pushed me over the threshold about becoming a coach -- I was developing more of a love for the game. Sitting there discussing the game with the top experts in the world -- everyone was there who was someone in soccer. FIFA, UEFA, CONMEBOL, etc, etc. I hope I have another opportunity to do this!
I went down to Bradenton when Wilmer Cabrera asked me to lend a hand with the under-17s, and after that Thomas Rongen invited me to work with him and the under-20s. I learned a great deal working with both. When Rongen was let go in 2011, with his support, I interviewed for the U-20 job -- and that's where I am now.
I was really happy to get the appointment, I have always been extremely proud to wear the U.S. crest -- it meant I had about a year to create a team for the under-20 World Cup qualifying tournament in Mexico. I was already prepared -- I'd put together a report for Jurgen [Klinsmann] on all the young players who were now moving up. I was also branching out to people like Hugo Perez and Thomas Dooley, as well as ex-youth national team coaches, present Academy coaches, scouts overseas, etc., to get the names of players I hadn't seen, to find out where they were playing. Hugo has a great eye for talent -- something that doesn't come easily for everyone. He's the one who recommended Benji Joya and Danny Cuevas, two important members of the team who had not been with our programs before.
On the coaching side I brought in Brian Bliss [Editor's note: Bliss is currently the interim head coach of the Columbus Crew] as assistant, a right hand man -- he's extremely knowledgeable about the game and about players. He had a lot to do with the selection of players, the way we played and the overall success of the team.
We went looking for players who are comfortable with the ball. Players who always want the ball, even with a man on their back, players who are not going to shy away when there's a lot of pressure, players who can turn in traffic and create space, that's not something that's easy to find.
I wanted to play a possession-type game -- a lot of movement, a very active and happy type game, with the players enjoying playing, moving all around the field and willing to play at a high intensity. It's not hard to find skillful guys in this country, but we wanted skillful guys willing to do the work required to recover the ball immediately. That's not so easy -- there are skillful players playing in parks all over the country, but most have never been taught to work to recover the ball, and I think by the time they're 18 or 19, it's too late to learn that.
We were looking for a game where we're building from the back -- not willing to give the ball away, if possible playing in the opposing team's side of the field, taking risks there to recover the ball, so that all the mistakes, ours and theirs, happen in their half.
For me, that style, that way of seeing the game, comes from a combination of things. From Barcelona, for instance -- that's Barcelona from about 25 years ago, when Johan Cruyff was the coach. I was in Spain then, with UE Figueres -- only about an hour north of Barcelona. Barcelona was a wonderful team, with so many good players, with such great timing of runs and passes. And with Michael Laudrup. It was, at times, so perfectly synchronized and for me, that was the first team that I found a joy to watch.
For the U-20s we were selecting all the best players, not so much for specific positions. I'd rather have a good player in an unfamiliar position than an ordinary player playing a familiar role.
All the time we're looking for those players who can receive the ball in crowded areas and not panic. It worked out pretty well.
Center back is the position where you can't be as flexible. You need at least one player who is tall and good in the air -- so as much as we wanted to pick players who were all comfortable with the ball, and who could turn with it, you need different types of quality in a center back, I don't think there's a way around that.
We had four center backs. One was a regular center back, the other three we converted from midfielders. Shane O'Neill was a central midfielder with good feet, not exactly what we wanted in our midfield as we had other players ahead there. He became an aggressive center back, good in the air -- and with very good feet. He was excellent in that position. Caleb Stanko was a similar case.
We made another switch with Dillon Serna who came as a left midfielder, but did a great job for us as a right fullback in qualifiers. Just an all-around good player.
We were very happy with the midfield -- we missed a bit when we lost Marc Pelosi to injury. But Will Trapp did a very good job -- he always wants the ball -- has great feet. His role was defensive mid -- but that doesn't mean he can't go forward. Luis Gil was the more attacking mid, with Benji Joya as a two-way player. There was no reason for us to think, at any time, that we couldn't play a ball to any of those guys.
With young players -- they normally don't tend to play the ball to players who are marked. We spent a year preaching that it was a must -- at every single camp, we had to play into crowded areas. OK -- against Ghana in the World Cup, a ball was played into Danny Garcia in the middle and he turned and lost it and they scored. You risk that. Danny will make a good control 99 times out of a 100. I would want that same ball played to him every time.
They're young players -- this is the time to make mistakes, more than any other time -- even if it is a big game.
I'll summarize how we wanted to play: through midfield, with speed. Not hitting the ball over the top. A possession game.
I wanted good players. I like to have players who want the ball. We selected good players and I'm not at all dissatisfied. We were a very good team.
PAUL GARDNER: The accusation will be -- has been -- made that you were favoring Latino players. Were you?
TAB RAMOS: I would object to that -- I like a possession-type style -- whatever people want to call it. My first influence was a Barcelona team ... with a Dutch coach.
Let me give you some names -- Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Clint Mathis, Mix Diskerud. None of them Latino. But I could fill a team with those type of players -- non-Latino players -- with their skills.
I really like the African players' relationship with the ball, their balance and how naturally they position their bodies so that they always protect the ball, it's so easy, almost as if they are using their hands, it's beautiful.
In this country we have enough talent. When I took over the U-20s, it seemed to be the feeling that this was a weak age group -- not one with a lot of talent. By the end we were a very good team with a lot of talent.
There is a strong group coming up -- many of the players are with MLS teams -- and a lot of them don't have Hispanic names.
One time there will be a team with many Latinos -- next time, fewer. Its about skill and comfort with the ball.
For myself and my staff -- I know we would have selected the same team had we not known the names -- if we'd had numbers only. The same team.
PAUL GARDNER: Is it not a fact that the colleges have shown little interest in furthering the interests of Latino soccer? That there are very few Latino coaches in college soccer? Or in MLS for that matter?
TAB RAMOS: College now is not as important -- we know that most of the best players don't go to college -- it's a secondary option.
If they go, they stay one or two years only
Maybe it still makes sense for a goalkeeper.
Twenty games a year are just not enough. Plus, the free substitution rule makes it a different game.
PAUL GARDNER: In your experience of the U.S. coaching scene, is there ever any discussion of a technique gap between Latino and non-Latino players?
TAB RAMOS: No, never really discussed that specifically. But in general terms we always discuss how we can get to all the best players no matter where they play or what their background is. We are working non-stop. There are good players all over the country, from New Jersey to Oregon and back to Florida but we are all well aware that most of the best soccer is played in California and Texas and many of those teams are filled with Hispanic players.
With this U-20 team, we raised eyebrows this year, even in the midst of losing some games. We raised awareness and made people think. In the end, thinking about solutions is what coaching is about.

propinquity was our Word of the Day on 02/06/2012. Hear the podcast!

Examples of propinquity in a Sentence
local housing prices, thanks to the propinquity of an especially picturesque beach, are out of the reach of many would-be buyers
Getting Closer to the Meaning of Propinquity
Propinquity and its cousin "proximity" are related through the Latin root prope, which means "near." That root gave rise to "proximus" (the parent of "proximity") and "propinquus" (an ancestor of "propinquity"). "Proximus" is the superlative of "prope" and thus means "nearest," whereas "propinquus" simply means "near" or "akin," but in English "propinquity" conveys a stronger sense of closeness than "proximity." (The latter usually suggests a sense of being in the vicinity of something.) The distinctions between the two words are subtle, however, and they are often used interchangeably. "Propinquity" is believed to be the older of the two words, first appearing in English in the 14th century; "proximity" followed a century later.
Origin and Etymology of propinquity
Middle English propinquite, from Latin propinquitat-, propinquitas kinship, proximity, from propinquus near, akin, from prope near — more at approach

Comments: Mini FET Shield Hookup Guide
Comments 1 comment
You have the two comments in the sample sketch backwards…
Another interesting laser light show would be to use two motors, each on a FET controlled from a PWM pin to be able to vary the speed. On each motor mount a small mirror (preferably first surface) that is just slightly angled off of perpendicular to the motor shaft. Have the laser bounce off one mirror and then off the other motor. Can get fun Spirograph™ style laser patterns by adjusting the speed of the motors individually.

If you buy blue they will fail the MOT and get you a pull by the Police, Buy white and play it safe
yep agreed..^^^^^
good job i asked then wasnt it.thanks guys
is the difference completely obvious ie I have just a bought a car with angel eyes - would it be really obvious if the lights were blue rather than white - what I mean by that is, is it a bluish white. i guess the car wouldnt have a valid mot if they werent white 9assuming that the lights on the car were the ones that were on it when it was MOT'd of course
i asked a mechanic who does mot's today funnilly enough and he doesnt think it would fail because of it, ive just installed blue ones, looking through google ive came up with the answer as being its perfectly legal to have blue ones as long as their not fitted with a flasher unit to immitate the emergency services.
I thought blue would just set my car off a treat, some might not like it but i think it looks cool lol
ive also fitted eybrow and eyelid and indictor lense covers, and i repainted the bumper with aerosol pretty proud how it turned out
White for me
Nother vote for white (or very pale blue - a lot of the ones on flea-bay are somewhere between).

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
My 70 year old Sister's husband 71 was in a accident (not he's fault) back in March 2012 and died April 1, 2013 (never left the hospital (head injury). My concern is that the Lawyer she hired has taken over her and He even said to her that she did not want to live with me, I'm her only living close relative with my 4 children (46,44,41 & 29) and I have always been the one to help her with any & allproblems when they got into trouble. Would her living conditions, her having problems with driving (stopped 3 times for weaving all over the road, getting lost, didn't know where she's at and can't remember (she admitted to me her mind is not clear) & not telling the truth. I could go on with many more. If these facts are TRUE and can be proven, would they prove her incompetence? She has not gotten a settlement (asking for $8,000,000.00) but I have always helped when she had no money. The Attorney's clerk has her head so far up my Sister, it makes me question her motive. I feel they may be taking advantage of her . Can I do anything to protect her . Thanks, Meme Response: I am sorry to read about your sister's difficulties. You need to file for Guardianship of her person and Conservatorship of her estate. Once appointed, you would give a notice to the Attorney's Office so that the Attorney's Office would know that you are now the one that they must deal with and not your sister. Since your sister has admitted to you that she is not well, she may cooperate in letting you take control of her affairs. The Petition for Guardianship and Conservatorship would be filed at the Probate Court in the County where your sister resides. You can get the forms at the Courthouse in the Clerk's office. To find the correct Probate Court, click on this link
I'm really concern about what's happening to her and I do not enjoy having to do this. Do the things I stated to you make this a case of incompetence? I'm torn with having to do this but can not wait for something bad to happen. Will I need to hire a Lawyer to see this thru?
I'm really concern about what's happening to her and I do not enjoy having to do this. Do the things I stated to you make this a case of incompetence? Response 1: Yes. I can appreciate how uncomfortable this endeavor may be for you. However, if you do not do this and your sister gets hurt very badly, you would be forever hunted for not doing something to help her when you had a chance. Explain to your sister what you are doing and why you are doing it. She may surprise you. I'm torn with having to do this but can not wait for something bad to happen. Response 2: You should do this. Will I need to hire a Lawyer to see this thru? Response 3: Not really, but if you are not comfortable navigating the Court system, you may consider hiring a local Attorney who handles estate/probate matters to assist you with the case. You can use the following sites to find local estate/probate litigation Attorneys: lawyers.com justia.com
Thank you so much. You have made me feel that the things that have been happening justify the actions I will have to take to protect her.

Winter Leagues 12/9 – Claggett's First Win
Looking for Pirates' players and friends in Friday's winter league action:
Bravos de Margarita 13, Tibureones de La Guaira 6
Anthony Claggett pitched 3.1 innings in relief, allowing one run on 4 hits to earn his first win for Los Bravos. Margarita's starter, Indiana native Ryan Tatusko (Nationals) allowed Los Tiburones one run in the 1st inning, then got into trouble again in the 2nd inning, allowing 3 runs on a walk and three singles. Claggett relieved Tatusko and finished the 2nd inning with a grounder back to the mound. He went on to retire the side in order in the 3rd, and allowed a lone single in the 4th. Claggett gave up three consecutive two-out singles in the 5th, surrendering one run. Los Tiburones scored one more run in the 8th on a so...

"A wristwatch is the ultimate rare status symbol, and Apple poses absolutely no threat to our market," Victorinox product director Francois Nunez said. "There's not one bespoke watchmaker who worries about wrist computer-phones."
That sentiment is not new for Apple, though. Long established phone makers met its iPhone with laughter denouncing its absurdity, and they couldn't have been more wrong. The same happened with the iPad.
It's hard to judge whether Apple would be successful with a product it hasn't even announced yet, but one thing is certain - going on an uphill battle is what Cupertino loves most.

BRAINTREE, Mass., April 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Haemonetics Corporation (NYSE: HAE) today announced the expiration of the subsequent offering period for the cash tender offer by its wholly-owned subsidiary Atlas Acquisition Corp. for Global Med Technologies, Inc.'s (OTC Bulletin Board: GLOB) outstanding shares of common stock, at $1.22 per share, and preferred stock, at $1,694.44 per share. The subsequent offering period expired at 12:00 midnight, Boston, Massachusetts time, on March 31, 2010. The depositary for the tender offer has advised Haemonetics that, as of the expiration of the subsequent offering period, 3,960 shares of preferred stock and approximately 34,398,052 shares of common stock had been validly tendered (including those tendered during the subsequent offering period). These tendered shares constituted 100% of the outstanding shares of preferred stock and approximately 89.7% of the outstanding shares of common stock. Haemonetics has accepted for payment all shares tendered in the offer. Haemonetics intends to complete the acquisition of Global Med by merging Atlas Acquisition Corp. into Global Med without a vote of Global Med's stockholders by way of a "short form" merger. In order to accomplish the merger, Atlas Acquisition Corp. will exercise its "top-up" option pursuant to the previously announced merger agreement, which permits it to purchase additional shares of Global Med's common stock directly from Global Med at a price of $1.22 per share. In the merger, all remaining publicly-held shares of Global Med's common stock (other than shares as to which dissenters' rights are validly exercised and perfected under applicable Colorado law) will be converted into the right to receive the same $1.22 per share paid in the tender offer. Following the merger, Global Med will become a whollyowned subsidiary of Haemonetics, and Global Med's common stock will no longer be eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Remember, we don't know for a fact what the Blu-ray drive in the PS4 is, other than it is BDR 6X. It looks more and more like it is a 100GB Blu-ray since that was about the closest to a high density Blu-ray with multiple layer medium that was close to a standard about two years ago. Research labs are going to be constantly looking for higher and higher density storage media, especially with this latest news about being able to stop light for 2 minutes in a crystal. This next-gen console generation isn't a 10 year console cycle. Nobody is saying it but they are 5 year consoles. PS3 is pushing dual layer now with 50GB Blu-ray, so that is another indicator the PS4 will have a 100GB triple or quad layer Blu-ray.

Considering this is for archive purposes, I don't think they will be regular discs but ones like the PSP's UMD, disc inside a case.

yea i really hope it is going to work with current players but doubt it.
my question is: will physical formats survive?
07-29-2013 #8
Actually, I take back what I said earlier. This will be for professional use. This will be nothing like a BluRay drive and likely more for mass storage of some kind.War is fought for silence. For, it is with silence, you will know that war has ended.

Looks correct, but I would prefer if the note/rest groupings showed the beat more clearly. (For instance, in bar six I would the second and third quarter note rest as two eight note rests since the beat of "5" and "7" respectively would fall on that second eight note. Makes it easier to read.)

Kolkata, Nov 7: Making his Test debut after playing in 108 ODIs over the last 45 months, ton-up Indian batsman Rohit Sharma said his source of inspiration has been former Australian run-machine Mike Hussey, who had played his first game in the five-day format aged 30.
Sharma stamped his class by hitting an unbeaten 127 on debut as India recovered from a top-order collapse to take a firm grip of the first Test against the West Indies with a 120-run first-innings lead at the Eden Gardens.
"Being a sportsman, there are a lot of inspiration to take from so many sportsmen around the world. You got to look at Michael Hussey... He made his debut at 30. There are a lot of other cricketers who waited for their opportunity... So I'm no different," Sharma told reporters.
"I am one of them. I know once I get an opportunity I would try and make the most out of it. I never wanted to put my head down. I always believed if you got the talent and ability, there's no need to worry about anything," Sharma added after his sparkling knock on the second day on Thursday (November 7).
The Mumbaikar said he knew his time in Test cricket would come. "I know there was a phase when things were not going my way. But I never put my head down. I just wanted to focus... I knew there would be a time when runs will flow. I just waited, waited... Kept working on my game hard and today I'm really happy what's happened."
In February 2010, Sharma was assured of making his Test debut against South Africa in Nagpur, but he twisted his ankle in a freak mishap with Wriddhiman Saha, giving the opportunity to the Bengal wicketkeeper.
"I was a bit disappointed about what happened in 2010. I just wanted to have all my focus on this Test. Finally, it came. Whether it came after three years does not matter. Asked whether he's in the form of his life, he said: "I really don't know. Whenever it happens you got to be proud, you got to take that."

Optician's Business Card Can Weed Out Poor Vision
Hoping to target older men and women, an optician in South Korea created a way to easily alert people to their failing eyesight.
Hoping to target middle-aged and elderly men and women, the Seoul-based advertising agency Black Pearl Creative created an innovative business card for a small optician in South Korea.
Ads of the World shows that the self-optometry business card for Myund Dong Optician's doubles as an eye test. The card turns into an eyesight chart, enabling people to hold it out in front of them to check their vision.
This campaign was able to succeed despite the advertiser's limited budget and the fact that the older people in the area don't acknowledge their eyesight problems and are accustomed to their poor vision.
Five hundred cards were printed and delivered to the surrounding business district. They helped encourage people to go to the optician's, as over 90% of the residents visited within one month.

The three Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, have sought EU approval for guaranteeing new loans for SAS airline, the financial daily Dagens Industri reported on Friday.
"The governments ... have requested EU approval for giving state guarantees for the extension of SAS loans worth billions of kronor," the paper said, citing sources close to the matter.
The three governments hold a 50-percent stake in the company.
Following pressure from Stockholm, five out of six banks had agreed to roll over loans worth 4.7 billion kronor (549 million euros or $699 million), on the condition that the debt was backed by state guarantees, Dagens Industri said.
The Scandinavian carrier on Thursday delayed the release of its quarterly results and the unveiling of a restructuring plan, saying negotiations over its credit facilities were ongoing but that they were expected to be finalised within a few days.

Were you a rosy-cheeked, knee-scraping child forever scrambling up tree trunks and swinging in the branches? Me neither. But one summer morning earlier this month, I dispensed with my urban existence and headed for the Normandy countryside. Like Gerard Depardieu's naive but dogged migrant from the city in the film Jean de Florette, I was to experiment in rural living - for a few days at least. To top it all, I wouldn't be staying in a smalltown guesthouse, I'd be as close to nature as possible: sleeping in a treehouse.
This is La Renardiere, a cabin eight metres above ground, nestling around a 20-year-old sweet chestnut tree, in the lush countryside of the Orne in north-west France, two hours from Paris and two hours from the Normandy beaches. In other words, the tourist crowds are somewhere else, although Parisians have long been using used the area as a secret retreat. The cabane d'hotes is the brainchild of an Englishwoman, Claire Stickland and her French husband, Ivan Payonne.
Claire and Ivan give me a warm welcome and lead me up wooden steps, warning me to duck a thick branch on my way. Then I'm standing on a 25 square-metre terrace admiring the pastoral vista: woods and lanes, hedges and hills, green thoughts in a green shade. It's a treespotter's paradise: ash, beech, hornbeam, oak, chestnut and willow.
Inside I find possibly the world's most luxurious treehouse. The main room has a king-size bed with goosedown pillows, sitting area, kitchen and shower room. There's electricity and running water, and radiators, which I need at night. Wall-mounted speakers connect to a stereo where you can play your iPod or CDs at full blast. There is even wi-fi access. Downstairs is a room with space for three children, with a branch entering through a wall and exiting through a window - just in case you were forgetting where you are. When night falls, I gaze at the stars. An owl hoots. Then all is still and preternaturally silent.
'For me it's freedom,' says Ivan. 'It's difficult to cut off from daily life in the city, where the rhythm is traffic. Here, bit by bit, nature imposes its own rhythms.'
Next morning, Claire delivers a wicker basket of breakfast with the freshest organic bread, yoghurt, orange juice and other reassuringly healthy French staples. The surrounding meadow is ideal for a romantic wander, or for children to muck about with nature. Butterflies dance in the sunlight against a chorus of crickets.
You might spot badgers, deer, foxes or wild boar. In the ponds lurk frogs, newts, toads and salamanders. Buzzards, bluetits, hawks, sparrows and woodpeckers are among the birdlife.
Claire admits that visitors can turn up at the treehouse and suddenly wonder 'Now what?'. 'There are no big towns,' she says. 'It's fairly undiscovered, and presents the joys of being in beautiful countryside, and taking your time to wander around and explore.'
In fact, what the local area, La Perche, lacks in big tourist honeypots, it makes up for with all sorts of low-key activities - 1,200km of walking trails, fishing and canoeing, horseriding, village markets to browse and antique shops, manor houses and castles to visit. The nearest restaurant to the treehouse is 5km away, so a car is highly advisable.
Speeding back to the hurly-burly of London, I had to admit that, with my hot shower and web surfing, I'd never really left 21st-century city life. But contemplating that branch of sweet chestnut poking through into that comfiest of retreats, I'd been able to kid myself for a moment or two.

GAINESVILLE- A day removed from winning their 4th outright SEC championship in program history, players for the Florida Gator basketball team said they were ready to look forward to the next challenge in their season: namely, facing rival Kentucky in the final game of the regular season for both teams.
The Gators beat the Wildcats earlier this year, but are just 2-7 over their last nine games against the Wildcats.
Tip-off is scheduled for noon on CBS on Saturday afternoon.
