Three Bulls Invited to NFL Combine
By USF

By TOM ZEBOLD
USF Senior Writer
TAMPA - Three Bulls have a chance to show scouts from every NFL team what they're about later this month.
USF linebacker Sam Barrington, cornerback Kayvon Webster and defensive tackle Cory Grissom have been invited to attend the NFL Combine in Indianapolis from Feb. 23-26. Fans will be able to watch live coverage of the event on NFL Network.
"From a perspective of being in school and playing at USF for four years, it's definitely a testament of hard work," Barrington said Thursday night. "When I got the combine invite, I couldn't believe it. I was just so grateful to be able to attend an event with Kayvon and Cory."
Barrington ranked second on the team with 80 tackles this past season and finished his career eighth all-time at USF in stops with 258. The Jacksonville native added 6.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 2012 before being named to the All-Big East Second Team.
Barrington played in the East-West Shrine Game in January and was joined by Webster, who led the Bulls with 82 tackles last season and finished his career with 190 stops. Webster totaled 8.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, three interceptions and four forced fumbles in 49 games (32 starts) as a Bull.
Grissom got a Senior Bowl invitation after finishing second among USF defenders last season with 7.0 tackles for loss, to go along with 38 tackles, 2.5 sacks and two pass breakups. The All-Big East Second-Teamer finished his USF career with 16.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, a forced fumble and three pass breakups.
Barrington and Webster got their NFL Combine invitations together in Miami, where they've been training since December.
"It's good we're down here working out together because I have someone I'm familiar with and we can push each other," Barrington said. "Of course, Kayvon is a lot faster than me, so he can help me with my speed. I can help out with some things, too."
Training has consisted of waking up around 5:30 a.m. and working each day until about 4 p.m. in preparation for an NFL opportunity that's now approaching fast.
"Just because you get this accolade or a combine invite doesn't mean you've made it," Barrington said. "You have to be grateful for all those things, but kind of just take it with a grain of salt and keep on moving. You have to understand that every day you have to make progress."
USF fans will be able to see Barrington and Grissom work out for NFL scouts at the combine on Monday, Feb. 25. Webster and the rest of the defensive backs that were invited will take the stage on Feb. 26.

ALA Fashion Show 2013 Accepting Applications!
The fashion show at Anime Los Angeles is accepting applications for the 2013 show
. The convention may be a few months away but its never too soon to send in entries. All styles are welcome and appreciated! This is a place for all you budding designers to show off your hard work.
There will be TWO full membership passes for Anime Los Angeles 2014 as grand prizes for our SINGLE GARMENT and MULTIPLE PIECES categories!
Professional quality is not a requirement.
If you have a garment that you're not sure if qualifies but would like to enter anyway, do it! Not a single entry had to be turned away in the several years the show has been running. So what does qualify? Anything Japanese fashion inspired that you or a friend made that hasn't been in the show before. The point of the show is to have fun and show off while doing it. Even if you don't think your sewing skills are up to par as long as you can wear it it's good. Often times the clothing in high end fashion shows (where you have one of a kind pieces for publicity) the garment isn't the best made piece in the world. That doesn't stop it from being striking and worth the time and effort.
The fashion show also accepts entries for single garments
; for example, if you have made a Lolita JSK fitting the requirement, but the rest of the outfit is bought items, you are more than welcome to display the entire item so long as it is made clear which items are made and which are purchased.
Dont have a model? Not a problem.
If contacted before the event a model can be found for your garment. All well need is the measurements. All sizes welcome. Feel free to model your own clothing or have a friend do it.
The theme for Day 3 of Anime Los Angeles this year is Victorian Gothic. Whether or not your garment/ensemble fits this theme WILL NOT affect judging, but it will mesh in quite nicely with the rest of the convention. Nifty!
If you are interested in participating, please fill out the form below and Email it to us!
All entries and questions should be sent to:
Name (as it appears on your badge):
Contact email (that we can reach you at):
(if you're modeling your own garment just put your name here again. If you need a model then please put that here as well.)
How would you describe your garment?
How long have you been sewing?
(This is an optional field)
Tell us a little bit about yourself and anything you'd like mentioned about the garment(s)?
(This is what will be mentioned by our announcer during the show.)

So far in this camp all the focus has been on Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez, but the interest took a slight right turn the past couple of days when the Jets have been fighting with each other on the field. Is this a big deal, hardly, but it's news worthy because of the first guy I mentioned.
The Jets don't need HBO to come in and film Hard Knocks, we have more coverage with the media reporting the stories they are and you have heard it all from Circus, to Rex losing control, to problem children like Santonio Holmes and Antonio Cromartie.
So when the players were asked last night if they want to do a walk through or take a break to see a movie as a team, they jumped on the second option, and tweeted about it.RichCimini #Jets needed to get away, so Rex Ryan cancelled meetings, took team to previously scheduled night at local movie theater, per source. 8/7/12 7:12 PM
First time seeing The Dark Night…#TeamOuting
— Damon Harrison (@BigDame900) August 8, 2012
Team meeting: option to run more gashers or option to go to the movies! Which one you think we picked? Rex best coach ever! #JetLife
— Terrance Ganaway (@RepChrist24) August 7, 2012
Yeah I'm with Terrance, did you see the team running gashers because of the fights?

Italy finds proposal to skip lunch hard to digest
By Stephen Brown
ROME (Reuters) - Food-loving Italy responded with indignation on Tuesday to a minister's comments that lunchbreaks -- still a sit-down ritual for many Italian workers -- are bad for waistlines and the economy, and should be skipped.
While many European peers nibble a sandwich at their desk, most Italian workers still retire en masse to a "tavola calda" (buffet restaurant) or a works canteen for a slap-up meal, often an hour-long affair involving pasta or meat, a vegetable dish, fruit and coffee.
But cabinet minister Gianfranco Rotondi said this encourages shirking and obesity, and makes the working day unnecessarily long, meaning parents get home later to see their children.
His comments were front-page news, lampooned by cartoonists and rejected by trade unions rallying around the workers' right to a lunchbreak. Nutritionists warned that if Italians skipped their lunch, they could collapse in the afternoon.
"It is bad for output and also for the harmony of the day. I never liked this ritual which brings Italy to a standstill," the minister said late on Monday.
In the face of the uproar his comments produced -- Michele Gentile of the biggest union, the CGIL, called it "an attack on workers' rights" -- Rotondi later clarified that he had "never proposed abolishing lunchbreaks."
"I only said that I abolished mine 20 years ago. The ideal thing would be for workers to choose," he told reporters.
Italian food producers' association Coldiretti cited a study showing that about 44 percent of Italian workers eat lunch in a restaurant or bar, and about 36 percent in a company canteen, while less than one in five take a packed lunch from home. Continued...

What are the symptoms and signs of schistosomiasis?
Although a few patients may have minor skin irritation when the cercariae enter the skin, most people do not develop symptoms until the eggs develop (about one to two months after initial skin penetration). Then, fever, chills, cough, and muscle aches can begin within one to two months of infection. However, most people have no symptoms at this early phase of infection. Unfortunately, a few patients develop acute schistosomiasis (Katayama fever) during this one- to two-month period, and their symptoms resemble those for serum sickness and are as follows:
- Fever
- Abdominal pain (liver/spleen area)
- Bloody diarrhea or blood in the stools
- Cough
- Malaise
- Headache
- Rash
- Body aches
The majority of people who develop chronic schistosomiasis have symptoms develop months or years after the initial exposure to the parasites. The following is a list of most symptoms associated with chronic schistosomiasis. Patients usually have a few of these symptoms.
- Abdominal pain
- Abdominal swelling (ascites)
- Bloody diarrhea or blood in the stools
- Blood in the urine and painful urination
- Shortness of breath and coughing
- Weakness
- Chest pain and palpitations
- Seizures
- Paralysis
- Mental status changes

1,675 acres of govt-owned land grabbed in Nangarhar
1,675 acres of govt-owned land grabbed in Nangarhar
JALAL ABAD (PAN): More than 1,675 acres of government-owned land has been grabbed by powerful individuals in eastern Nangarhar province, official said on Monday.
From Daronta dam, a 70-kilometre canal was constructed to irrigate the land belonging to the Nangarhar Valley Development Authority, Director Eng. Hakeem told Pajhwok Afghan News.
He said that 30,000 hectares of land, including 16,000 hectares owned by the government, are irrigated by the canal over the past 48 years, according to the director.
"In the Ghaziabad area of Batikot district, three tribes have seized 1,000 acres of arable land of the authority," he said. However, the Land Protection Agency has been able to recover 500 acres.
Eng. Hakeem said security forces had pulled down more than 100 houses and several shops that were illegally constructed over the state-owned land. Thirty land-grabbers were arrested.
"Problems of the Valley Development Authority will remain unresolved as long as its land is not handed over to the Private Agriculture Enterprises. Grabbing this land means hampering the development of olive and other farms," said Prof. Saida Jan of the Nangarhar University.
Also an agriculturist, he asked the authorities concerned to evolve a new mechanism to prevent the seizure of government-owned land.
Governor Gul Agha Sherzai has established a police unit, which has recovered a lot of land, said his spokesman Ahmad Zia Abdulzai. He asked residents of Surkh Rod, Behsud, Rodat, Ghanikhel, Batikot and Momand Dara districts to help the government against land mafia members.

A Long Walk to Grimethorpe
In The City: Fringe Event
- Date: 15 May
- Venue: S1 Artspace
- Tickets: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/269930
A Long Walk To Grimethorpe is a new commission for brass band, electronic music and documentary film bringing together the University of Sheffield Brass Band (USBB), electronic music composer Joe Snape and film-maker Ismar Badzic. As the sun comes up over the peak district, the composer sets off from Sheffield city centre with a simple aim: to walk to the renowned Grimethorpe Colliery Brass Band's rehearsal space in time to hear their evening rehearsal. The catch? He has to do it wearing a tuba rigged with numerous tiny microphones, each capturing a subtly different resonance within the instrument. Together, these microphones are responsible for recording the entire walk, creating an abstract, patchwork document of a most basic of journeys. A Long Walk is a rumination on the relationships between sound, geography, musical heritage and cultural belonging.
The collaboration between the band and composer will provide the basis for a documentary exploring the cultural heritage of brass banding communities in South Yorkshire, directed by Sheffield based film-maker Ismar Badzic. The performance of A Long Walk to Grimethorpe, together with a screening of the documentary will be premiered May 15th at Sheffield's S1 Artspace.

No Lectures... aims to explore the space that remains in 2014. Contemporary musicians will draw on the material recorded here while writers and academics will discuss some of the ideas that travel around the place.

The evening will feature live performances from Blood Sport, Juxtavoices, and B.H.S., video installations and panel talks, with much help from The Audacious Art Experiment, an industrious DIY record label based in Sheffield. Paul Bower (2.3 & Gunrubber) will be talking about the space in use and discovery, and Ron Wright (Hula, Now Society) will ruminate on time spent there. Bob Baker (Clock DVA) and friends will perform their own special lecture. We're also very excited to announce that other former members of Cabaret Voltaire, Clock DVA, and In The Nursery will be performing an exclusive collaboration as 'IBBERSON' for the event.

Sheffield has a rich and vibrant history of activism. Over the past few years, the Stories of Activism in Sheffield, 1960-present project has been conducting interviews with activists from around the city. The city centre and its immediate surrounding areas are an important part of their stories. Join poet River Wolton and others as we trace the City's activist past and present through its buildings, landmarks and streets. The stories we tell will bring to life again—and update—the famous 'Radical History Walk'. All participants are invited to add their stories as we walk, and contribute to the project's growing collection stored at Sheffield Archives.

Scientific discourses on neuroplasticity abound with metaphors both of (neuronal) landscapes and (cortical) 'real estate'. This cutting-edge symposium brings together speakers from across the disciplines to explore the ways in which recent advances in the understanding of neuroplasticity might be used to construct new models for negotiating urban landscapes and temporalities. Our discussions will include a consideration of how brain trauma and cerebral re-organisation can yield new understanding and insight regarding the complexity and resilience of the damaged topographies that punctuate the post-industrial, post-colonial and post-traumatic cityscape. Thinking through the sculptural dynamic of cerebral morphology will also open up a debate concerning the ways in which critical methodologies from the arts might find their place in the sculpting of new forms of stability within the contemporary built environment, participating in the 'real life' making of cities, at both grass roots and policy level. This symposium is open to all and will feature a digital exhibition by Dr Stuart Wilson.

Dear reader,
The ITU-T Newslog has been migrated to a new platform and can now be found at http://newslog.itu.int/archives/category/standardization.
The archived content of the retired ITU-T Newslog remains accessible here.
Questions or suggestions regarding the new platform are welcome and should be directed to the ITU-T Communications Unit at firstname.lastname@example.com.
ITU members have agreed new international standards (ITU-T Recommendations) outlining security considerations essential to cloud computing and, crucial to the long-term preservation and utility of IP-based resources, a 'framework for the discovery of identity management information' to enable interoperability across heterogenous information systems.
Recommendation ITU-T X.1600 "Security framework for cloud computing", having reached first-stage approval ('determined') and now undergoing a final review, describes security threats in the cloud computing environment and, through a framework methodology, matches threats with the security capabilities advised to be specified in mitigating them. ITU-T X.1600 will act as a 'handbook' guiding the future standardization of identified threat-mitigation techniques; in addition providing an implementation reference for systems-level cloud security.
Recommendation ITU-T X.1255 "Framework for the discovery of identity management information", approved and soon to be freely available on ITU's website, details an open architecture framework in which identity management (IdM) information – identifying 'digital objects' and enabling information sharing among entities including subscribers, users, networks, network elements, software applications, services and devices – can be discovered, accessed and represented by heterogenous IdM systems representing IdM information in different ways, supported by a variety of trust frameworks and employing different metadata schemas.
ITU-T X.1255 lays out a framework that enables discovery of identity-related information and its provenance; identity-related information attributes, including but not limited to visual logos and human-readable site names; and attributes and functionality of applications. The framework, in addition, describes a data model and protocol to enable meta-level interoperability in the management of this information across heterogeneous IdM environments.
The Recommendation is a first step towards the Digital Object Architecture (DOA) advocated by the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), which is intended to achieve the "universal information access" possible with uniquely identifiable digital objects structured so as to ensure their machine and platform independence.
For a succinct description of the history, motivation and promise of the DOA, see Peter J. Denning & Robert E. Kahn, "The Long Quest for Universal Information Access", Communications of the ACM, Vol. 53 No. 12, Pages 34-36.
The new Recommendations were agreed at a meeting of ITU-T Study Group 17 (Security) in Geneva, 26 August to 04 September, which also saw the establishment of three new work items, on:
More information on the work of ITU-T Study Group 17 can be found here.
ITU regrets to announce the death of Col. Richard 'Dick' C. Brackney (Ret.).
Dick was a well-known and respected authority on international cybersercurity and had contributed greatly to ITU's work in the field over a period of more than ten years.
In August he sent a message to his colleagues: "Dear colleagues at MS and International Standards Community: I have enjoyed my work in the Standards community over the years. But, the time has come for it to end. I've learned over this summer that time is VERY precious and my time has ended. Thank you all for your support! ---Dick".
Dick had a wide and varied career including 35 years at the US National Security Agency. He served in combat during Desert Shield/Desert Storm and was the recipient of numerous service decorations including two National Defense Service Medals, and a Meritorious Service Medal.
He will be sadly missed by all including ITU staff, delegates of Study Groups 13 and 17 and the standards and cybersecurity communities at large.
A viewing/memorial service will take place on September 17th (Tuesday) at 7 p.m. EDT at the following location: Howell Funeral Home 10220 Guilford Road Jessup, Maryland 20794. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Dick to the American Heart Association at http://honor.americanheart.org/site/TR/Events/General?pxfid=260931&fr_id=1030&pg=fund.
The latest post to the ITU blog by María Paula Sartori, Green ICT Services Expert at Telefónica, asks if it is possible to achieve high levels of efficiency in a 'Smart City', and to what extent a city can become both 'Smart' and 'Sustainable'.
Smart Sustainable Cities are a central topic at the 3rd ITU Green Standards Week in Madrid, Spain, 16-20 September.
The IPR website has been improved with the following features:
• New layout• Search URLs can be bookmarked• Details can be viewed in a separate page• RSS feature is available from the top of the result part (e.g. for patent statement: http://www.itu.int/ipr/rss.aspx?sector=ITU-T&class=PS)
As a consequence cross linkage is now possible, from various itu-t websites.
The new website is accessible at : www.itu.int/ipr
In the run-up to the Telefónica-hosted 3rd ITU Green Standards Week in Madrid, 16-20 September, a post to the ITU blog penned by Maya Ormazabal, Head of Environment at Telefónica Corporation, frames the debate around electrical and electronic waste ('e-waste') and how its proliferation – today cause for concern – could in the future lead to new, sustainable business opportunities in reuse and recycling.
Read the full blog post here
The first meeting of the ITU-T Study Group 13 Regional Group for Africa (SG13 RG-AFR), the group to coordinate African contributions to the standardization work of ITU-T Study Group 13 (Future networks), will be preceded by a one-day workshop – free of charge and open to all – on "Standardization on IMT, M2M, IoT, Cloud Computing and SDN". The workshop will, in addition, be followed by a meeting of the SG13 'Rapporteur Group' tasked with developing international standards (ITU-T Recommendations) under Question 5/13 "Applying IMS and IMT in developing country mobile telecom networks".
The events are being organized by ITU's Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) and hosted by Algeria's Regulatory Authority for Post and Telecommunications (ARPT) in Algiers, Algeria, 8-12 September; as follows:
ITU Workshop on "Standardization on IMT, M2M, IoT, Cloud Computing and SDN", 8 September:
The workshop will provide an overview of ITU-T and, in particular, SG13 work in these areas as well as an opportunity for discussion and knowledge-sharing around regional developments on these topics. It will also feature an introduction to the objectives of SG13RG-AFR, which is expected to prioritize the study of cloud computing and future networks.
Rapporteur Group meeting on Question 5/13 "Applying IMS and IMT in developing country mobile telecom networks", 9 September:
The 'Rapporteur Group' or task team responsible for Question 5/13 will progress its standardization work on the scenarios and requirements of developing-country implementations of International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT-2000 or '3G'; IMT-Advanced or '4G'), the systems of radiocommunication standards developed and maintained by ITU's Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) that enable global mobile telecommunications and high-speed mobile broadband. ITU-T, through SG13, produces complementary standards detailing networking aspects of IMT.
First meeting of the ITU-T Study Group 13 Regional Group for Africa (SG13RG-AFR), 10-12 September:
Within ITU-T Study Groups, Regional Groups aim to ensure that ITU-T Recommendations address the needs of all the world's regions. As such, Regional Groups play a key role in ITU's work to 'bridge the standardization gap' between developed and developing countries by fostering an inclusive environment where all possess equal opportunity to contribute to and influence the standardization process. SG13RG-AFR will consolidate African regional contributions to the work of SG13, and its first meeting will determine the group's guiding Action Plan, working procedures and work programme, as well as the schedule of work to be undertaken in preparation for the next meeting of SG13 in Kampala, Uganda, 4-15 November 2013.

Originally written on Pro Boxing Fans | Last updated 10/6/14
Irish boxers at the London Summer Olympics Ireland's formidable reputation in pugilism spans the English-speaking world, with boxers of Hibernian descent making a splash far, far outside of the Emerald Isle. However, at the Olympics, it is just the fistic talent of the Republic of Ireland that counts, and that little island country is enjoying a run of good talent. In 2008, they brought home two bronzes and a silver, and that ain't bad considering Ireland's modest population of only 6.3 million and the scoring scandals suffered in Beijing. Not all of 2008's medal winners are making a return, and ironically, the Irish team might even be stronger for it. That is hardly the only reason to watch, however. Whenever Ireland challenges the UK in sports, the event is a noteworthy clash of neighbors and rivals. The Ireland vs. UK matches were some of the most exciting produced by the Beijing Games, and this year any such encounter would take place in London, on British soil. If s...

The Brazilian goalkeeper is desperate for regular first-team football ahead of the World Cup next summer.
Cesar is currently behind Robert Green in the pecking order at QPR. Cesar signed a four-year contract when he joined QPR in 2012, but he has recently been strongly linked with a move to Manchester City.
"We wouldn't stand in Julio's way and we aren't asking a fee for him," Redknapp said, quoted by the Fulham Chronicle.
"He needs to play and he could play anywhere for any team. He's just been unlucky.
"Rob's been fantastic and I can't take him out of the team.
"However, Julio's a great guy, and he needs to play soon, so he can play in the World Cup."

Marks And Spencer's "Plan A" Doesn't Specifically Mean "Agile." But It Could.
Posted by Martin Gill on April 27, 2012
I'm constantly searching for great examples of agile commerce practitioners. These are hard to find, and it's rare to come across any one organization that exemplifies everything that we believe an agile business needs to be.
Dynamic. Willing to take calculated risks. Organized for cross-touchpoint customer engagement. A clear vision for the future with the customer firmly at the center.
In the various interviews I do, I frequently find that I end up talking about a British retail icon.
So what's so special about M&S, you may ask. Well, not only is M&S a digital innovator in the space of video and its use of social media, but under the leadership of its Chief Executive Mark Bolland it is transforming itself into a truly multichannel organization. With a clear ambition to be the "UK's leading multichannel retailer," M&S has set itself a stretching target.
One of the things that convinces me that M&S will continue to deliver on its goals and will lead the way for multichannel retailers not just in the UK, but across the world is the fact that it has taken the inspired step of appointing a senior leader for multichannel. Lots of organizations have a "Head of Multichannel," but very few place that role directly on the C-level leadership team, and very few actually mean "cross-touchpoint" when they say "multichannel" – most of them really just mean "Head of Online."
According to our Global eBusiness And Channel Strategy Professional Online Survey, half of the eBusiness executives we surveyed believe that their current organizational and reporting structure allows their firm to respond in a timely manner to changes in customer buying and service behavior.
Which means half of them believe that their organization isn't set up for success in the changing world of agile commerce.
And interviews back this up, with organization structure being seen as one of the key blockers to true agile transformation. Having spoken to her already about the insights she will be sharing, I'm fascinated to find out in more detail what Laura Wade-Gery, Executive Director of Multichannel Ecommerce at M&S, has to say on the matter when she speaks at Forrester's EMEA eBusiness and Channel Strategy Summit in May.
M&S is on a huge journey transforming its eCommerce platform, its store systems, and its supply chain at the same time as growing its international presence and continuing to push the boundaries of what's happening in digital retail. So if the prospect of myself and Peter Sheldon talking about the Digitization of the In-Store Experience isn't enough to convince you to attend, maybe Laura's insights will help.

As a Croatian-American, I am appalled at how narrow-minded people can be. Thompson music has nothing to do with nazis!!! As a matter of fact, we couldn't care less about the Nazi - it was a mistake that happened over 60 years ago. It was terrible and awful but for heaven's sake - give it up already. Yes, the songs are patriotic but you something for many, many years - Croatian couldn't even mention the we are Croatian – but nobody talks about that. The Serb launch a powerful smear campaign against Croatia and all things Croatians since the end of WWII. So I understand it is easy to but into the Serb propaganda but really people wake up and see the truth. And FYI – while the Serbs are black-listing us for being a nazi-state, guess what city was the first to get rid of all the Jews during WWII – it was Belgrade – that right the Serb capital – Funny how they forgot to talk about that little tidbit of information! Za Dom Spremi – For Homeland We Are Ready – to Protect – to Defend. I believe every country is willing to do just that for their homeland – why is so wrong that Thompson sings about it.

I agree with you, Mary! By the way, where were these people 2 years ago, when Thompson sang at the Center...February, 2006? See you on Friday!

dear mary,
i agree with you
i myself am tired of the swastica symbol
on my hrvatski narod.
i cant say that i love marko perkovic music
but i have no problems with him performing at all
its a free world.
as far as i am concerned it was the like's of arkan,sesilj,i othe serb propagandist's
who reserected the ustase from there grave
feeding the krajina serbs there boogie man stories
about fredie krueger,micheal myers,and jayson vorhees.
to all serbs
sleep tight dont let the bed bugs bite
its just a concert bre.
on my croation herretage.

Personally, I am a very proud Croatian living in New York city and I am extremely outraged at your article. How can you group together an entire nationality and portray them as anti-Semetics? I personally am in shock at how low a group of people can be, so low to point fingers at the Croatian community for a popular singer's choice of lyircs. Speaking of choice of lyrics, there is not one song that he sings tha necessarily mentions ANYTHING about Jews or being Nazi. Just because his fans show up with their Ustasa attire does NOT mean the entire country is anti semetic or pro- Nazi.
This article was absolutely pathetic, and I believe the Croatian community deserves an appology for an exaggeration of opinion.
So what happened to freedom of speech? What is the purpose of the 1st amendment? Why do we bother having an ACLU? This country has gone haywire with accusing everyone they could for anything they can pick at. At this point, I cannot help but laugh at what their doing. This is the embarassment an amazing singer has to go through, merely because he sings about how proud he is of his countrys struggle for freedom. Croatians have a reason to be proud. We will never gain recognition in this pathetic place for the crucial war we fought, for all the lives lost, and for all the beautiful cities destroyed. The destruction of a country is completely ignored by the Jewish community, but once they find that a singer is singing of how proud he is of his people picking themselves back up and forming the most beautiful place on earth, the pounce on the very idea.
So just like the Jews suffered so many losses due to the Nazis, Croatians suffered many loses due to the Cetniks.
In conclusion, I advise that you get your facts straight before insulting an entire nationality and community of Croatians.

Have you people seen this guy's music videos? Of course he's a Nazi, and so is this "NDH41" who posted the music video on YouTube.
Koolman, if you're really "tired of the swastica symbol on my hrvatski narod", then you need to be the first one to condemn the Nazis, like this band Thompson and his fans, who exist among the Croatian people.
Thompson is a disgrace to the Croatian nation. If the Croatian people don't want to be seen as a bunch of Nazis then they need to be the ones leading the protest against this sort of crap. The Jews and the Serbs shouldn't have to step in and do that for you. You should be policing your own.
It's a shame that Croatian-owned venues in North America would agree to host this sort of a band.

Just saw the video on youtube. Interesting compilation, because the song is not sung by Thompson, but of a singer who died in a car accident years ago. Pictures from Thompson's concert and the song in the background not sung by him. All those accusations are ridiculous. The only contribution of such a media coverage is that a couple of wannabe Nazis have a great platform at Thompson's concerts, because they can be sure of the media coverage.

Why do you use so many different names? I can see a couple, but not that many! Another thing: You're father is not a Croat nor your mother an Italian! They(and maybe yourself) are just Vlasi from Croatia- they were Vlasi who converted to the orthodox "religion" some time ago, but are not "true" Serbs! The true Serbs are not bad people but that Vlah shit from Croatia is!
You are just some young(er) idiot, who can't be accepted on other forum except this one! But, true, this forum has gone to the dogs!

Maybe if that moron Milinkovic would bother translating the lyrics to all his songs, he might see that Thompson's music has nothing to do with glorifying Ustasha or the Nazis.
Thompson's one song and accompanying video (note singular tense, NOT plural) that includes the "Za dom spremni" slogan was made when Thompson's hometown was liberated from Serbian oppressors during the war in the early 1990's. The author takes a cheap shot by pulling it out of context and associating it solely with the Ustasha. One question for you Verena - are you Serbian? If you are, nothing I say will make a dent anyway. But, if you're not, maybe you should take a look at what happened to Croatia in the early nineties before passing judgment on a single music video. You can start by googling "ovcara"

Hey, Tom from Port Credit, your a complete idiot!! Shut the fuck up for once!! Croatia was the nation that attempted to exterminate 1/3 of the Serbs, expel 1/3, and convert 1/3 to catholicism that resided on their soil. Ever seen the cross with the grenade, gun, and knife underneath it? FYI, that symbolizes the manner in which Croatia wants to preserve its catholic state. Oh yeah, I guess Nikola Tesla is also Vlah shit, right? Furthermore, Marko Perkovic is a nazi and no one can deny that. Also, without that fucking security firm from Virginia supporting Croatia along with Clinton, Krajina would have still been in Serb possession. Only cowards can't fight the good fight.

Studies show that there had been various stages in which the Croats had been pressured for accepting the language of the Slavs and annexation to former Yugoslavia. The idea was realized by the Serb nationalist Karadzic whose slogan was "Serbs everywhere". He invited all bigot Slavist Serbs to the Vienna Congress in the middle of the 19th century for a political and lingual consensus and for adopting policies for the future of former Yugoslavia. In the aftermath of the agreements reached in the gathering and from 1890 the pro-Karadzic Slavists launched their activities for the elimination of all signs of cultural and lingual differences between the Serbs and the Croats. To this end, they changed the past history of the Croats and eliminated all the terms with Indo-Iranian roots that did not exist in the Serbian language. Such a trend continued until 1918 when Yugoslavia was formed.
The process for the change of the spoken language of the Croats of ancient Iran to the language of Slavs was started in the 7th century continued up to the 20th century and was forcefully followed by former Yugoslavia.

First an ice cream flavor, now a national award? Cold Smoke's on a roll, folks. Missoula's fav flav sloshed away from this weekend's 28th annual Great American Beer Festival in Denver with a bronze medal in Scotch Ales. The Kettlehouse was fast to the bragging rights, setting off the tap list on Myrtle Street with stars and block "bronze winner" letters on Monday afternoon.
Cold Smoke beat out 26 of its 28 opponents in the Scotch Ales category. Not exactly the Michael Phelps of brewskies, but the medal gives you just one more reason to try out that funky Cold Smoke milkshake. Railbender Ale from Erie, Penn., took the gold in Scotch Ales while Kilt Lifter from Tempe, Ariz., claimed silver.
One Montana beer did walk away with a gold medal: Stillwater Rye from the Montana Brewing Co. in Billings. The three-day festival hosted 3,308 brews in all.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:05am
Major League Lacrosse recently completed its 12th season, an amazing achievement in itself. The league continues to survive, thanks mainly to the quality of play on the field. The pro lacrosse athletes push the boundaries of the game, extending what we thought possible.
How can the league, its franchises and athletes broaden the fan base?
1. Fix Championship Weekend — Play the semifinals a week after the regular season concludes at a pre-determined neutral site (Ex: Portland). Play the championship game a week later at a neutral site (Ex: Dallas). Work with promoters in those cities to maximize attendance.
2. Standardize and market a TV Game of the Week — It's fantastic that MLL is being shown on ESPN, CBS Sports Network and a host of regional networks, but the national packages on ESPN and CBS Sports are shown without any marketing or PR efforts. A consistent time slot and a marketing plan on TV, the Internet and through social media would be a plus.
3. Practices sharpen the lacrosse product — The league currently limits the number of practices each team can have. The product would only improve with more training sessions. More practices would also encourage teams to pull players from a two-hour driving radius, which is a long-term positive in terms of expenses, marketing and local tie-ins to the community.
4. Shorten the season — The athletes are in training camp in early April, and not done until the last weekend in August. The MLL starts earlier and earlier each year, yet the finish line has remained the same. Eliminating the NLL/MLL overlap, anyway possible — even if that means the two leagues working together somehow — should be a goal.
5. Partner with an airline and a hotel sponsor — Try to defray travel costs. Ramp of the sales and sponsorship department.
6. Improve the pay scale for Championship weekend — More than 8,000 fans watched Paul Rabil and the Cannons lose to Chesapeake last Saturday. Rabil was paid a mere $300 for his efforts. The current $500 for winners and $300 for losers needs to be addressed by the players' association.
7. Do a more comprehensive and through job marketing and promoting the league and it's star players — How often do you see an article or TV story produced from a non-lacrosse source? This league is filled with tremendous human interest stories that go largely unnoticed by the mainstream media. The strength of the league continues to be the quality of the athletes as people.
8. Move the Hamilton franchise to a new market — Atlanta, Dallas, Florida or Southern California would better support a professional lacrosse team.
9. Establish "Kid's Club's" — Every pro team has some sort of kid's group where you sign up, get tickets to the game, and a free shirt, access to special clinics, and pre-game sideline passes. Get fans locked in while they're young, and their parents will have to come with them and buy a ticket.

Very nice vintage paper. The design is preciuos. But very thin paper.
This was the first time I've bought regular Jenni Bowlin paper, and I was disappointed in the quality. It is very thin. I've purchases the die cut paper by J.B. before and it is nice and thick, so I guess I was expecting this to be similar.
No one does vintage like Jenni Bowlin, this paper is no exception- love it.

My first image was accepted by Dreamstime in May 2009 and about 8 months later with much effort I have reached 502 images today. Although my earnings are around $250 I spent that amount replacing one Nikor macro lens [ second hand at that ]. But I treated my Dreamstime work as a tutorial in photography learning from rejections although sometimes being depressed by the shortcomings of my submissions. I studied the work of successful members and being interested in politics and economics learned to focus the subject matter of many of my images on these subject areas. The recession has offered lots of ideas in relation to budget cuts and economic problems. Below are a few images in these subject areas:
. Rising debt was partly responsible for the credit crisis. ...
I plodded along for the last 9 months reaching about 520 images on line and selling at up to about $2 per image but suddenly tonight my income shot up by $26 for a single image entitled ' Making an investment in shares '. To say I was shocked is an understatement.
The image earned me 50 credits as a W-EL allowing up to 10,000 electronic copies [ if I understand the rules correctly ].
I was pleased enough yesterday when I resubmitted an image of fresh spring tulips entitled ' Wedding invitation ' with text removed as required by the Editors. As soon as it went on line and before it had any viewings it sold for about $2 and 30 cents.
So in addition to the ' course in commercial photography' provided by Dreamstime there are moments of unexpected excitement....
