[CONCACAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE] Defending MLS champion Colorado relinquished first place in group B of the Concacaf Champions League Tuesday night when Santos
Laguna inflicted a 4-1 pounding at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Santos dominated play from the start and forged its impressive victory by scoring twice in each half.
Daniel Luduena and Oribe Peralta tallied 13 minutes apart in the first half, and goals separated by seven minutes from Carlos Quintero and Christian Suarez wrapped up the victory that moved Santos (2-1-0, 6 pts.) into a first-place tie with Isidro Metapan, which pulled off a 2-1 victory at Real Espana on Tuesday.
The Rapids (1-1-1, 4 pts.) lost for the first time in group play and dropped to third place. They managed only a consolation goal from substitute Brian Mullan in the 77th minute, six minutes after Suarez had scored.
Guadaloupe international defender Miguel Commingues, who signed with Colorado last week, debuted for the Rapids as a halftime replacement for left back Danny Earls. Coach Gary Smith rested veteran defender Tyrone Marshall and paired Scott Palguta with Marvell Wynne in the middle, with Drew Moor moving to right back, and Santos overran the makeshift back line repeatedly.
Interim head coach Eduardo Rergis, director of the Santos Laguna youth system, directed the team from the bench. Former Mexican international Benjamin Galindo was officially named as Diego Cocca's replacement a few hours before kickoff and will take charge this week.
In the fourth round of group play, Colorado plays at home against Real Espana next Wednesday, and Santos hosts Metapan a week from Thursday.

Pakistan's hypocrisy exposed in Istanbul: analysts
Pakistan's hypocrisy exposed in Istanbul: analysts
KABUL (PAN): Pakistani revealed its real face to the international fraternity by refusing to lend its weight to the Afghan peace effort at the Istanbul Conference, an analyst said on Thursday.
Attended by representatives from 20 countries and aid agencies, the conference on regional cooperation and the future of Afghanistan was held on Wednesday.
Zubair Shafiqi, a political analyst and participant of the event, told Pajhwok Afghan News the Karzai government was eyeing Pakistan's written commitment to supporting the peace drive in Afghanistan, but it did not happen.
Instead the Pakistani delegation held out empty verbal promises that they would help bring stability to the country, he said. "One achievement for Kabul was that Pakistan showed the world, which counted so much on the nuclear-capable nation, its real face."
He said Islamabad had agreed to cooperate with Afghanistan in investigating the assassination of ex- president and chief peace negotiator, Burhanuddin Rabbani, after several attempts and requests from Kabul.
Rabbani was killed in a suicide attack at his residence in the high-security Wazir Akbar Khan diplomatic district of Kabul on Sept. 20. Afghan officials claim a representative of the Taliban's Shura killed Rabbani, and that the murder was plotted in Quetta, the capital of Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province.
Documents obtained from accomplices of the bomber included videos, photos and audiotapes, which were handed to the Pakistan embassy in Kabul.
Political analyst Eng. Mohammad Younus Fakoor echoed Shafiqis' remarks by saying Pakistan and Iran were trying to drum up support for themselves at the conference in Turkey. Afghanistan should have reached an agreement with the two neighbours before the gathering, he believed.
The only benefit was that the world listened to President Hamid Karzai's speech, he added. The global fraternity has long realised the fact that neighbours could play an important role in bringing peace to Afghanistan.

Instead of modifying Plus and Times (which can be problematic) why not
program the infix symbols CircleTimes and CirclePlus to do what you

A few months ago I read a news article about a medical study where the initial results were so one sided the researchers felt an ethical obligation to shut down the study early to make immediate recommendations to people to people affected by the disease being studied.
As I sit down to write this Amazing Selling Machine review I'm in sort of a similar position. I'm going to do the full review, but my conclusions are so strong that I feel the need to start with my recommendation:
If you are tired of chasing the IM lifestyle dream but coming up short, you need the Amazing Selling Machine. It is the greatest opportunity I have seen for average people to build significant long term online businesses that produce income at levels unimaginable for that vast percentage of the population.
I attended the ASM live event back in January and I was absolutely shocked how many people I met who doing $20,000, $50,000 even $100,000 and more in sales…per month! These were people who started their businesses in April or November of last year, and most of them had never achieved an significant online success in the past.
Real people who are finally making their dreams come true.
Whether or not you will achieve similarly spectacular results depends on you. The ASM system flat out works, but only if you work the system.
Here's what you get in Amazing Selling Machine:
8 weeks of easy to follow lessons- These lessons are broken into segments that are easy to follow. The segments each contain step by step instructions, as well as videos to show you how to do the steps. They can also be done at your own pace, which is nice if you get a little behind.
Weekly Review Call-
These are a great way to have a range of questions answered about the weekly training. They are generally done by Jason and/or Matt, plus sometimes special guests, and the also generally take questions.
Foolproof Review System-
You are shown how to gain reviews on Amazon, which are so essential to receiving rankings and more sales. Reviews are so important but can be hard to obtain if you don't know how to do it. That is why this segment is very beneficial. Once people started posting reviews about my product, it went from page 16 in our keyword group, to page 3 in just a matter of a couple days.
Amazon and Google Ranking tools-
You are not only receiving training, but several software tools to help you rank on both Amazon, Google and YouTube for pretty much any keyword. There are no tricks or gimmicks involved here, just real tools that have been proven to work every time. When you are a member of Amazing Selling Machine, software is provided that will boost the traffic to your Amazon storefront, social media sites, Youtube videos, and your website.
Instructions on how to set up your Amazon seller account and page-
My favorite aspect of Amazing Selling Machine is the fact that it utilizes the power of one of the largest and most trusted online stores in the world. Pretty much everyone who uses the internet has either heard of Amazon or has used it themselves. With Amazing Selling Machine, you are given a step by step process on how to build your storefront so visitors feel comfortable and confident when purchasing from you.
You build your own brand-
Amazing Selling Machine is made to enable you to build your own brand. You learn how to create a REAL business with REAL customers. There are videos and software to help you decide on a product, find manufacturers, create your brand, order product, and then effectively sell that product. Your business is in your own hands. ASM doesn't take profits from sales. All they do is teach you how to generate those sales and how to find the best product for your company. It's simple. Really!
Are you starting to see why I even bothered writing this Amazing Selling Machine review? I really want you to know the potential this product and your future business have.
This system is not just another affiliate marketing program, it consists of selling physical objects on Amazon. And even though it uses tactics similar to those used in affiliate marketing, it is much more. It takes effort on your part, but most likely not any more effort than you have already been putting into chasing the latest shining object.
There are definitely some pros and cons associated with this program. Some of which have nothing to do with the actual program and more to do with how building a business works. I decided it would be good for you to know them.
* Simple and easy steps on how to find a manufacturer
* Tells you what you need to do to build up your product
* Shows you how to find products with the greatest chance of succeeding
* Gives you tools promote your product through Amazon.com, Google, and social media sites
* You learn how to create an authoritative brand that lasts
* Selling on Amazon.com is easy
* Provides tons of resources for accomplishing each task
* Takes daily effort to get the brand up and going
* Finding a manufacturer can sometimes take longer than you would like
* Money is required to build up the business (obvious, I know), get samples, supplies, and get things set up
* Minimum order quantities from manufacturers can be quite large to get the best prices (depending on the product)
* Not necessarily for someone on a tight budget
Now, these aren't all of the pros and cons but they are the ones I felt like mattered most. I also feel like the pros outweighed the cons for me. Every business venture has risks involved, but with the tools ASM provides the risks can be lower than doing it on your own. Knowing where to start and where to go are key. That is exactly what Amazing Selling Machine provides.
I know you will benefit from the ASM system, so just mull it over and make sure you make the decision that is right for you. Be smart and don't do something that you can't afford or handle, but like I said at the beginning of this Amazing Selling Machine review, this is the best opportunity I have have ever seen for regular people to build a super successful online business.
DISCLOSURE: IMSoup is often an affiliate for products that we recommend. If you purchase those items through our links we will earn a commission. You will not pay more when buying a product through our links. In fact, I oftentimes am able to negotiate a lower rate (or bonuses) not available elsewhere. We also only recommend products and services we have thoroughly research and/or used.

On the Air
Universal Sports will provide local coverage in Los Angeles and New York of Friday's game between the big market teams of Sky Blue FC and the Los Angeles Sol. It will also air the rematch on June 13.

Chicago vs. FC Gold Pride, 8:30 pm ET
Venue: Toyota Park, Bridgeview, IL
In the Spotlight
Lindsay Tarpley, the two-time Olympic champion, scored in each of her first two games for the Red Stars but has been scoreless since then. She is one of three U.S. national team midfielders from Chicago called up for the since-canceled Japan series (replaced by a single game against Canada).
What They're Saying
"This is the first time I've watched tape of another team in the league and thought, 'They look just like us.' They have talent on the attack and a very strong midfield. They're a dangerous club."
-- Chicago coach Emma Hayes.
Sunday, May 17
Boston Breakers vs. Washington Freedom, 6 pm ET (Fox Soccer Channel)
Venue: Harvard Stadium, Cambridge, MA
In the Spotlight
Much has been written about the Sol's Marta and Boston's Kelly Smith, but Frenchwoman Sonia Bompastor has been one of the best foreigners in WPS. After returning from international duty abroad, she carried the Freedom in its last game, a 3-3 tie with St. Louis, scoring twice on headers -- the second goal in the 90th minute.
The leaky Freedom defense (12 goals allowed in five games) will be put to the test against a Boston attack that is led by stars Kelly Smith and Kristine Lilly, who have a combined six of Boston's eight goals.
Los Angeles 3 1 2 6 2 11
Boston 3 2 1 8 8 10

Chris Evans Jets Into JFK Airport
He's always on the go, and Chris Evans showed up at JFK International Airport in New York City on Sunday night (March 30) ahead of a busy week in Manhattan.
The "Nanny Diaries" hunk looked handsome as he greeted fans and scurried through the terminal, on his way to promote his new film "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," which hits theaters on Friday, April 4th.
Evans told press that there's plenty of high-energy action in the new flick, including a few intense fight scenes that left him pretty banged up.
"I'm not wearing the mask so there really isn't a lot of opportunity to let a stunt man come in. If you grab someone and you have to throw them, that takes a lot of strength and energy. And if some guy has you around the neck and you're whipping elbows and trying to throw knees, you're going to sustain injuries. You go home beat up and bruised."

For this week's Common Good Forum, we invited the National Catholic Reporter's Michael Sean Winters to write about his experience this week at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops's four-day National Migration Conference.
I am not sure which is more horrifying, the images of unaccompanied children, scared, fleeing their homes, having traveled hundreds of miles, and ending up at a detention center that has all the warmth of a barracks, or the images of angry, hate-filled protesters in the town of Murrieta, California, trying to block the buses from bringing these children to that town's immigration processing center.
In a powerful column published at Religion News Service, Sr. Mary Ann Walsh said the images of the protesters reminded her of the photos of police dogs attacking marchers in Selma and of the little girl running naked in a street in Vietnam. She voiced the hope that the images this time, as in those previous times, would awaken the conscience of the nation. Sr. Mary Ann, who is a holy woman, did not say it, but I will: It sure looks like these latter day Nativist protesters are the same people who spent weeks this spring protesting on behalf of rancher Cliven Bundy: Angry. Hate-filled. Entitled. Indifferent to the common good. Who hates children?
The press has covered this influx of unaccompanied children as a political story, and in one sense it is. But, the roots of this problem are deeper than anything President Obama or the Republicans in Congress have done or failed to do. There are plenty of mea culpas to go around and almost all of them should be uttered by Americans.
We know that the children are fleeing violence and gangs and drug cartels in their homeland. As far as I can tell, there are three foundational contributors to the crisis in Central America that have caused the parents of these children to send them to the U.S.
First, globalization has lifted some out of poverty, but those left behind have been pushed even further into poverty. While poverty and want always have been part of the lives of people in Central America, they have being hugely exacerbated by globalization. The world economic system is responsible for widening the gap between those living in prosperity and those living in misery. With globalization, the power centers have shifted away from self-contained state economies to the benefit of free markets, which, because there are few international regulations, are virtually running along unfettered. As a result, what holds sway, when it comes to policies, are capital and economic data concerned only with profit and the rate of return on investment, rather than human values. The weakening of the economies of smaller states and their increasing national debt, brought about by globalization, are factors directly responsible for the inability of these nations to provide social services, protection against crime and economic stimulus for the benefit of their people. In other words, this is not just about people fleeing poverty, but fleeing a country that is undergoing social collapse because of the global economic system.
Second, much of the violence stems from the drug trade and the violence it brings. People, especially the young, need to flee their neighborhoods in Central America in order to stay alive rather than join a gang. This situation is directly related to the fact the we Americans can't kick our drug habits. We as a nation, as American citizens, are responsible for this. So maybe the next time we hear someone decry children and victims seeking asylum in our country, they just might want to redirect their anger at their friends, colleagues and family members who casually use drugs and call it "recreation." The next time someone labels drug-use a "victimless crime," ask them to go to Tegucigalpa or San Salvador or Managua or Ciudad Juarez and see the victims of Americans' desire to escape.
Third, there are the guns. Where do you think all those guns doing all those killings come from? Our nation may be a net importer of goods and services, but not when it comes to guns. Bad enough that guns are as common as street signs in our own cities, they are now flooding into Latin America where drug cartels and other violent criminals snap them up and wreak havoc on their communities. The criminal gangs driving children from their homes and to our border are armed with guns made in the USA.
This week, I saw a different face of America from that of the hate-filled protesters in Murrieta, and the gun manufacturers and the drug user indifferent to the consequences of her habit and the corporate raider indifferent to the consequences of his business practices. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops held a four-day National Migration Conference. Hundreds of Catholic activists, clergy, lawyers, sisters and brothers, social workers, pastoral associates, neighbors, policy analysts, and others all converged in DC to learn more about the problem, more about the solutions, and more about how to get one from the other. I met people who spend all their lives seeking to help, to protect, to teach, to rescue refugees and migrants. I listened to fascinating panelists discuss the broad array of issues involved in migration and refugee policy. One morning, there were eleven different workshops to attend. One dealt with worker immigration law. Another focused on family-based immigration policies. Another looked at various legal issues involved with refugees from Central America while a different panel examined best practices for strengthening cultural orientation for refugees while yet another allowed migrant youths to tell their stories.
Anne Richard, Assistant Secretary of State at the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, could scarcely have been more fulsome in her praise for the work undertaken by the assembled Catholic activists. Those who think the Obama administration is comprehensively hostile to the Catholic Church should have been there to listen, and those within the administration that breezily dismiss the Church's role in society should have been there too. It turns out that, according to Ms. Richard, one out of every three refugees who have come to the United States since 1975 has been helped by an agency of the Catholic Church. "Just as refugees have relied on you, so have we at the State Department," she said.
I could scarcely have been prouder of our Church and of its commitment to achieving social justice for migrants and refugees. It was exciting to be in a room where everyone was excited about Pope Francis. It was good to be reminded that the next time someone complains about the "institutional church" or "organized religion," it is the institutions and the organization that our Church brings to the task of assisting refugees and migrants that have made a real difference in their lives.
Ever since Congressman Eric Cantor lost his primary, political pundits have said that immigration reform is dead for now. They may be right. But, those children coming to our border are not dead, and their needs are many. Our Church is doing all it can to help them. But, we will just be putting our fingers in the dyke of a broken system until we enact comprehensive immigration reform. It is time for Catholics to educate their neighbors about the need to get out and vote this November for candidates that support fixing the system and, just as important, are willing to tackle the underlying causes, the push factors that are causing people to flee their homes and how we American contribute to it. No fix will be perfect. No system is perfect. The charitable arm of the Church need never fear going out of business. But, the sources of the problem are deeper than the current debate suggests. It is time for all Catholics to share some of the commitment I saw in the lives and faces of the Catholic activists convened in Washington this week.

Salmonella Outbreak Shows Up in Texas
Five Cases of Salmonella Poisoning Hit Texas Part of a national outbreak =================================
Raw poultry from Foster Farms in California has already sickened people in 18 states ... now five in Texas are ill.
UT Health Science Center's Houston's Charles Ericsson, M.D., says chicken, fish, meat or any kind of animal product means dealing with bacteria.
"One must suspect that out of this particular farm is a high level of contamination and that the average handling of the poultry wasn't quite sufficient."
He suggest consumers protect
themselves by cooking poultry thoroughly up to 165 degrees.
The Centers for Disease Control has brought back furloughed workers to deal with a salmonella outbreak.
"It takes a large number of organisms to get disease so you either have made a mistake or undercooked; if you under cook any kind of poultry you run a risk," he says.
Reports say Foster Farms, one of the country's biggest poultry producers, has had a long history of salmonella outbreaks.
"These stories come out as admonitions to homemakers, like the proper handling of turkey at Thanksgiving, because it's such a common thing."
Ericsson says during the holidays, you are safer cooking stuffing outside of the turkey.

Polls were slow all around during early voting in the primary election to fill the House of Representatives 62nd district seat, vacated by Rep. Curt Cobb (D-Shelbyville).
Of the 2,414 voters registered in the district in Rutherford County only 21 cast ballots early, Elections Administrator Hooper Penuel said.
"It was pretty slow here, but I understand that Bedford and Lincoln had a much better turnout," he said.
But it wasn't much better.
Bedford County, which has around 23,000 registered voters, only saw 891 vote early. The 62nd district includes all of Bedford County.
"We usually have more than half vote," Bedford County Elections Administrator Summer Leverette said, adding she doesn't expect the October general election to be very busy either.
Lincoln County was in the same boat with only 559 votes cast from 11,464 in the district.
Even though early voting was slow, Penuel hopes to see a better turn out Thursday for the primary.
"We hope voters will exercise their voting privilege," Penuel said. "Democracy can be strong only if voters participate in the voting process regardless of the number of names on the ballots."
The primary election will be Thursday, Aug. 27 in the following Rutherford County precincts: Blackman United Methodist Church, Eagleville Community Center and Rockvale Community Center.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. and voters should bring a form of signature ID (driver's license, voter registration card, etc.).
The general election will be held Tuesday, Oct. 13.
On the Democratic ticket, Ty Cobb II is the only candidate. On the Republican side, Joseph C. Byrd, Pat Marsh, Bobby Scott and Casey Walters are running.
Cobb resigned his post in the legislature, which he has held since 2002, to serve as Bedford County's new clerk and master.
For more information about the primary election or voting in general, call the Rutherford County Election Commission at 898-7743 during normal office hours.
Michelle Willard can be contacted at 615-869-0816 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee newcomer Danny Lima was impressive atop the Vols lineup.
Sophomore right-hander Danny Wiltz shined in the closing innings in relief of James Adkins.
In between, the Vols struggled to get much going at the plate or in the field, dropping a 6-3 decision to Eastern Michigan on another chilly afternoon at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
"I've never been one to transfer blame or try to make excuses," UT coach Rod Delmonico said. "We have enough talent out there to win, and we should be playing much better. Eastern Michigan came in and played very well, swung the bats well and did what they needed to do to win and almost win another game."
The Eagles bounced back after the Vols took the series-opener on Friday, taking advantage of some early UT errors to plate four runs in the second inning and take a lead they wouldn't relinquish. UT starter James Adkins (0-2) took the loss, allowing nine hits and five runs - two earned - and striking out eight in six innings of work.
"We didn't win, so obviously I didn't do my job," said Adkins, who moved into third place on the Vols all-time strikeout list with his second punch-out of the game. "They hit my mistakes and I have to give them credit. Things didn't go our way, but we just need to play better, and I have to start pitching better. We've got to do things better as a unit."
Lima, a newcomer to that unit after transferring from Broward Community College, went 2-for-4 in his second start of the season. The second baseman tallied a pair of infield hits, walked and scored a run while playing solidly in the field.
"I felt pretty good out there," Lima said. "I didn't have the greatest at-bats, I was just trying to put the ball in play and make something happen. I was able to put the ball in play and make them make plays and get on base and help my team."
His steady glove work and performance from the lead-off spot drew praise from Delmonico, who is still tinkering with the line-up as the Vols battle through the non-conference schedule without All-America centerfielder Julio Borbon.
"I like Lima," Delmonico said. "I think right now Lima has seen less at-bats than anybody on the field, and he's doing more to help us win. He gets on base quite a bit and he's made all the plays at second. I like the way he plays."
The 18th-year head man also liked the play of sophomore reliever Danny Wiltz, who came on for Adkins in the seventh and held the Eastern Michigan offense largely in check.
Wiltz worked the final three frames, striking out one, walking two and giving up three hits and one run.
"Wiltz, even though he gave up the home run, he threw strikes and he went after people," Delmonico said. "That's three outings where he's been really good.
"He left a ball up and they hit it out, but he pitched really well for us. If he keeps doing that, we'll be okay."
The Vols will try to win their first series of the season on Sunday, as UT and Eastern Michigan meet in the series finale at Lindsey Nelson Stadium at 2 p.m.
"I'm very upset with the way that we played today," Delmonico said. "This is not Tennessee baseball. We didn't do anything well. We didn't field well, we didn't pitch well and we didn't hit well.
"We need to get back to playing Tennessee baseball. That's what we're going to do."

Tennessee passed the halfway point in its two-a-day practice work week, splitting time Wednesday between a morning session on Haslam Field and an evening one shifted mostly inside the Neyland-Thompson Sports Center because of lightning.
Five practices down since early Monday in the a.m., four more to go.
"I thought the guys practiced extremely well," head coach Lane Kiffin said. "I thought the quarterbacks were really good. They threw a number of touchdowns in the red zone and guys made some plays. It was good to see and I thought they executed extremely well.
"I think there was a good feeling by the offense that they had a really good day."
Kiffin thinks that unit's positive vibe from last Saturday's game situations carried over into the current week, especially for quarterbacks Jonathan Crompton and Nick Stephens.
"They're both playing really well," he said. "Their team feels some confidence about them because they played so well and they continue to play well. They have their ups and downs, but it's not as many downs as in the spring or in our first five practices (this fall)."
Kiffin touched on the team's injury situation after 10 practices, acknowledging that players have been sidelined by the camp's physical nature. But he reiterated the coaching staff's plan for long-term success.
"When you're establishing a personality of a team in a first year, I think that's part of it, unfortunately," he said. "We've got to continue to push our guys. If we slow ourselves up to the guys who are injured, then we are not maximizing the potential of guys who are healthy.
"We've got to continue to push our guys, continue to install, continue to practice at a high level."
Tennessee practices again Thursday afternoon, and then holds its final two-a-day session Friday. Saturday's schedule likely includes another round of scrimmage play before the team takes Sunday off.

When each note tells a story
Ale spent 10 years in Darlarna, a region that has preserved the Swedish fiddling tradition. He studied the tunes in depth, but instead of playing them on a fiddle, he translated them into bouzouki. To reconcile the traditional Swedish music with his Greek instrument Ale had to alter the bouzouki. He had a number of instruments crafted until he obtained the appropriate scales and sound. Ale was a key figure in the overall recreation of Swedish music tradition that took place in the 80s.
Ale´s innovative approach found expression in his following projects, such as "The Fiddling People" and "Bouzoukispelman". Ale not only combined music traditions from the various regions of Sweden, but he merged them with Brazilian and African tunes.
Ale Moller Band follows the above line of musical search. It features musicians with expertise in Swedish, Greek, West African, Norwegian, Afro-Cuban, Indian and Latin traditionsm as well as jazz. This colorful group uses a variety of instruments to communicate with its audience. Reflecting their diverse background, Ale Moller Band searches for the right notes to tell the stories it has learned - and plays them.
Maria Stellas is a Swedish-Greek singer and dancer. She has specialized in older Greek songs, mainly the Rembetika repertoire of the early 1900s. She dances "Raqs Sharki" (belly dance).
Mamadou Sene is a West African vocalist and an acrobatic dancer from Senegal. He has lived and worked in Gambia and now resides in Sweden.
Magnus Stinnerbom is a young master fiddle player from Varmland who specializes in polskor from Josseharad, as well as music from the Swedish-Norwegian border area. He is a member of folk music groups Harv and Hedningarna.
Sebastian Dubé is a double bass player from Quebec, Canada. Both classically trained and a virtuoso jazz musician. Currently playing also with The Swedish Chamber Orchestra, based in Orebro.
Rafael Sida Huizar is a Mexican percussionist who came to Sweden in the 1970s as a member of a Mexican rock band. A percussionist with profound knowledge of Afro-Cuban and Latin drum traditions.
Swedish Grammy for Nordan (1994), an album by Ale Moller and vocalist Lena Willemark.
Norwegian Grammy for Bråten Berg´s "Min Kvedarlund" (1993), produced by Ale Moller, who also played most of the instruments.

"Dexter" is on a premiere spree.
The fifth season premiere of Showtime's "Dexter" averaged 1.8 million viewers on Sunday in its 9 p.m. time slot, up 16% from last year's premiere (1.5 million).
For Showtime, that reps both "Dexter's" best premiere ever, as well as the biggest season premiere for a Showtime series in 15 years. (Strangely, that was the March 1995 preem of "Outer Limits" — go figure!)
A second showing of "Dexter" at 11 p.m. averaged 575,000 viewers. Assuming there's not much duplication, that comes out to around 2.3 million viewers for the evening (up 22% from last year's 1.9 million premiere night audience).
Here's a ratings track of "Dexter's" five season premieres:

Daft Question, but.. couldnt you just use jquery cookies?
Incidentally, your form works
Hi, I've seen such a form a few times, But it normally give the option to "backup" the form and an option to "import" values you entered earlier.
This way you can also transfer it from one computer to the other…
Hey dtbaker,
Did you go ahead and develop your form (save for later) idea? I would be interested in such a script . If you did, kindly let me know where to get it.
Did you ever publish this code? If so, can you provide me a link!?

Hello! Did you ever publish this code? If so, can you provide me a link!?
I remember working on a similar project sometime back. The difference being that data in my multi-tab form project was being saved live, with ajax. You type something in a field, and then move on to the next. The content of the previous field would be saved to the database, live. Of course, it had validation and filtering and all.
The beauty of it was that the user could also disable auto save and manually save any field, or group of fields, or the whole form.

Oklahoma is doing it this weekend. It wasn't that crazy yesterday at the stores, but it was a bit busier than usual. Of course I went at 5 pm... today was probably a whole 'nother story!

See this page in: Bulgarian
"Allah" is the Arabic word for "God" and has been so long before the existence of Islam. The names "Allah" and "God" are generally interchangeable within the Muslim religion and in Middle Eastern cultures. Some English translations of the Qu'ran (Koran) use the name "God," others use "Allah." This sometimes comes as a surprise to Christians who were raised in Western cultures. Among former Muslims, many converts to Christianity commonly refer to God as "Allah." (This is despite the fact that they recognize clear differences in the character of God as described by the Bible compared to Islamic writings. For example, although both Christians, Muslims and Jews firmly believe there is only one God, Christians have the additional doctrine of the Trinity.)
Of course, the word "God" does not actually appear in the original Hebrew or Greek manuscripts of the Bible, accepted as Holy by both Christians and Muslims. "God" is an old English word which developed from an Indo-European word, meaning "that which is invoked," which is also the ancestor of the German word Gott (meaning: God).

POWERful Women (PfW) seeks to advance the professional growth and leadership development of women across the UK's energy sector.
The energy sector is tackling a wide range of important issues – from keeping the lights on to helping consumers reduce energy waste and building a more sustainable low carbon future.
Because industry competitiveness relies on being able to attract and retain a diverse pool of talent capable of bringing fresh perspectives, PfW believes a much stronger female influence is needed at the top table. By bringing together a mix of industry, academic and political leaders – that span exploration, energy generation & supply, energy efficiency, technology, government and consumer issues – we work to support and encourage energy companies to appoint more women to senior roles as part of building stronger businesses and adapting to changing markets.
This includes matching industry leaders with professional women to provide guidance to help overcome challenges and build opportunities for greater female leadership in our energy sector.

Canoeing guide - London 2012 Olympic Games
Your complete guide to canoeing ahead of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games
Photograph: Canoeing via Shutterstock
Converted: Wet 'n' wild action!
Confused: I did this at summer camp.
RECOMMENDED: See our full list of London 2012 Olympic sport guides
Canoeing - The essential guide
Street cred: Canoes were trending spectacularly in 2007, when it emerged that a man called John Darwin had faked his own death in a pretend kayak tragedy. Since then, things have been quiet.
Basics: Olympic canoeing consists of two disciplines, slalom and sprint, which are divided into canoe and kayak categories.
• Sprint – a straight race along flat water. There are 12 gold medals available with distances ranging from 200m to 1000m.
• Slalom – a spectacular event also known as white-water canoeing, where paddlers duck and weave through rapids and negotiate a course of 25 gates.
Who's good? The central and eastern Europeans, such as Slovakia, Germany and Hungary.
Athletes to watch: Multi-gold-medal winning Slovakian twins Pavol and Peter Hochschorner are an imperious pair... imagine if 'Twins' was about two Arnold Schwarzeneggers and no Danny Devitos.
As seen in: 'Deliverance' (1972), although it might put you off the sport for life.
Almost useless fact: The main difference between a kayak and a canoe is that kayak paddles have blades at both ends whereas canoe paddles have a blade at only one end. Glad we've cleared that up.
Do say: 'Canoeing may be a low-profile sport but with so many medals available, success on the water could propel the USA up the overall rankings.'
Don't say: 'I'm really into watersports.'

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas says he will feel "like a footballer again" when he returns to the Gunners squad for tomorrow's match against Manchester City.
Speaking exclusively in his notes for tomorrow's Official Matchday Programme, the Spaniard stated that he feels fit and ready to figure against Mark Hughes' side – in whatever capacity – having recovered from the knee injury sustained against Liverpool back in January.
"I feel good and I'm available for selection, although I don't know what the extent of my involvement will be yet," he revealed.
"During the past week I've felt really sharp - I don't know if I can cope with 90 minutes in my first game because I haven't played competitively yet, but whether I start or am on the bench the good thing is that we cannot say I am injured anymore. I'll be very happy because I will feel like a footballer again."
One thing is for sure – there will be little leeway for easing himself back into action. From now until the end of the season, every Arsenal game is weighted with significance, and Cesc is well aware of this as Mark Hughes' talented side rolls into town.
"They are a very good side and I like the way they play," he said. "On their day you can see that the likes of Robinho, Stephen Ireland, Craig Bellamy and Shaun Wright-Phillips are all fine players – and they have a very good manager as well. Hopefully we can get the three points – we have to remember what they did to us in beating us 3-0 a few months ago and try to continue our good form because we have to play eight finals from now on."
For much more from Cesc – including thoughts on the recent wins over Hull and Newcastle, his admiration for Abou Diaby and the momentum surrounding the Spanish national side – make sure you purchase your matchday programme for £3 tomorrow.

The Complete Handbook for Buying and Financing a Truck
Trucks, trailers or any other commercial vehicles are important business assets required in the normal day-to-day running of your business operations. As a business owner, you are constantly faced with a number of critical decisions, whereby you have to decide – what is best for your business. So, if you are a business owner you should carefully consider a number of important factors when it is time to get a new truck, trailer or any other commercial vehicle, such as having:
1. The right truck that will help to keep your business competitive
2. The right truck for the work required and at the right price
3. The right finance arrangement to buy a truck
Different Types of Truck, Trailer or Commercial Vehicle
Business owners can buy any of the following vehicles:
>> New Truck
>> Refrigerated Lorry
>> Trailer
>> Tipper, or
>> Transporter (light or heavy)
Factors to consider before buying New Truck, Trailer or Commercial Vehicle
There are a number of factors you should take time to consider when buying a vehicle, and you should ask yourself the following questions:
>> Is the truck, trailer or commercial vehicle new or used?
>> Is the truck, trailer or commercial vehicle coming from a dealer, auction, or private sale?
>> Has the truck, trailer or commercial vehicle been previously written-off?
>> How many hours has the truck recorded?
>> Is there any money owing on the truck, trailer or commercial vehicle?
>> Are you considering drawing down from your home loan (e.g. equity release) to give you the required cash to buy your truck, trailer or commercial vehicle?
Finance Arrangement
Listed here is a brief summary of the types of finance arrangements available in the market place, and after you have read this article you should find choosing the right finance arrangement to be the simplest decision you will make:
Finance Lease – This financing arrangement enables you (the customer) to have the use of your truck, trailer or any other commercial vehicle and the benefits of ownership, while the financier (lender) retains actual ownership. The finance lease arrangement will also enable you to free-up your capital for other business purposes.
Commercial Hire Purchase – This financing arrangement is where you (the customer) hire the truck, trailer or any other commercial vehicle from the financier (lender). You have the certainty of a fixed interest rate over a set period (I.e. 2 to 5 years) and the flexibility of reduced monthly payments by including a final "balloon" payment at the end of the term.
Asset Loan – This financing arrangement gives you (the customer) the security of knowing that your truck, trailer or any other commercial vehicle is an asset of your business and it offers you the certainty of a fixed interest rate, over the choice of loan terms (I.e. 1 to 5 years).
Seek Expert Advice
I sincerely recommend that you should seek expert advice before choosing any of the truck finance arrangements because, the taxation and accounting treatments you choose may vary from option to option.
If you want to remain in the driver's seat and concentrate on running your business so that you can cover your costs, overheads and running expenses, then look no further and take advantage of professionally qualified and specialised finance brokers, because:
>> They have a thorough knowledge of the finance and trucking industry
>> They have access to many lenders/credit providers as they deal with them on a regular daily basis
>> They can customise the best truck finance arrangement for you
>> They can get you into a new truck quickly and easily
So, if you don't want to spend hours of your valuable time trying to find the right truck finance arrangement, then let a specialised and professionally qualified finance broker do the running around for you.

Keys To Good Accounting Practices
Keeping Good Records
One of the ingredients of good accounting practices is keeping proper records. No matter how small or large a business, it is essential to have a filing/storage system in place to store all financial records. Financial records include receipts, invoices, bank tellers, cheque stubs, withdrawal slips, bank statements etc. With the advent of online banking, emails and other forms of online communication, more businesses are storing their accounting information in virtual form. More invoices and receipts are now sent by emails to reduce carbon print, whilst more payments are been carried out online than ever before.
Despite the advancement in technology to aid accounting communication, it is essential that all form of records is kept safely for easy access. This is crucial for accurate financial reporting and business decision making. If a business stores more information on IT systems than files, then a back-up system is important for added security of data. Filing systems must be easily accessible preferable in chronological order. It might also be necessary to keep records of incoming paper-format financial information on a system as back-up.
For taxation purpose documents – paper or computer generated must be kept for a minimum of five years after the end of the accounting period of the business.
Accounting Systems
Accounting services vary from business to business; some companies prefer to outsource their accounting to an accounting firm or freelancer accountant. Another option is to hire staff to carry out all financial functions in-house whilst some small business owners choose to perform these accounting functions themselves.
The accounting system a business chooses must be able to meet the needs of the business. A small business might be better off hiring an accountant, rather than invest in a system there will be no time to operate. A large organisation might be able to afford a good accounting package, but the system will be of no use if there is no competent staff to operate it. For effective accounting, businesses must ensure they match their accounting needs with the appropriate system including outsourcing options.
Monitor Information
A business account is like the flip chart at the end of a patient's bed which shows the vital signs of that business. To keep the business vitals in good condition, businesses should constantly appraise their financial status to ensure a good book balance.
Most medium to large organisations carry out a monthly, quarterly or regular form of management accounting exercise. These reports are for internal use and it enables the business to identify its financial position on a consistent basis. Though meant for internal purposes, it is an effective way to monitor performance and plan for the future.
Legal Requirements
Businesses must satisfy legal accounting requirements whilst in operation. It is also important that they meet the need of the various stakeholders in the company. These stakeholders have a legal requirement to certain financial information, which must be presented in an acceptable format.
Accounts Statements must also be prepared and filed with the relevant Government bodies – in the UK these are HM Revenue & Customs, Companies House and the Charity Commission. They must be in the right format and submitted by the deadlines set by the authority concerned. Failure to file accounts in the right format and at the right time may result in a financial penalty, except in extreme circumstances.
It is therefore essential that an appropriate book-keeping system is in place to ensure information is captured accurately and efficiently. It is also crucial that businesses have "best practice" policies in place to ensure accounts personnel complies with legal requirements.
Account Personnel
Competent accounting personnel are as valuable as the information they provide. Most businesses require the assistance of experienced accountants to collate and file their accounts. Medium to large companies generally recruit their own personnel to look after their company accounting processes. With the credit crunch hitting businesses profit margin, a lot of businesses are outsourcing their accounting services to external firms. Some of the main advantages of outsourcing are the reduction in staff related costs and the wide range of expertise gained from reputable accounting firms.
Whatever product or service a business provides, ethical accounting practices will ensure a business is able to identify its financial position and plan according to ensure its survival and longevity.
Best Stock Market Tips For Online Trading

The Best Options for Your Caravan Finance
Options for Your Caravan Finance
Buying a caravan can be a great way to organise more flexible holidays and weekend breaks. It can provide you with a home away from home, with all of your creature comforts. You can travel anywhere you would like to visit, spend one night or several without needing to worry about expensive hotel accommodation or costly restaurant bills. However, unless you are in a very fortunate financial position, it is likely that you will need to consider finance to fund the purchase.
Dealership Caravan Finance:
The most obvious place to look for your caravan finance is the dealership where you are purchasing the caravan. While this can be a great place to secure automotive finance, consumers should not assume that they are automatically obtaining the best auto finance rates. The dealership may have some attractive packages, but be sure to read the small print to check for any hidden fees or charges, and compare the rates with other providers before you commit. In many cases, the sticker price for the finance options are often based on longer term loans to make the monthly charges more attractive. Although this means that your monthly expenses will be less, you will be paying far more over the term of the loan. Always check the total finance cost in addition to the APR and monthly payment estimates.
Bank Loans:
Another source of financing is a loan from your high street bank. Most banks and financial institutions advertise some great loan deals for any purpose. However, you should be aware that since the global finance crisis, many banks are reluctant to lend to those without an excellent credit record. If you have less than perfect credit, you may not qualify for the advertised rate and will be offered a less competitive deal. Again, be sure to compare any quotes to check if it is the best possible deal.
Specialist Caravan Finance Broker:
A broker can be the best way to get a great deal on your caravan finance. Reputable brokers have access to a range of lenders who specialise in certain types of finance. The broker can search for the most competitive deals, allowing you to compare caravan finance rates without needing to fill out multiple forms and applications. A broker can assist you even if you have less than perfect credit as they will have access to a number of companies with more relaxed lending criteria. The broker can assist you with the paperwork, making the loan application process far less stressful and frustrating.
Finding caravan finance need not be stressful, but it can be a good idea to research your options before you commit to a purchase. This will allow you time to compare finance rates and find a great deal. You can then shop with confidence that you can comfortably afford your new purchase.
If you are considering caravan finance, Perth consumers should contact us. We specialise in all types of automotive finance and would be happy to discuss your requirements and assist you in obtaining the deal best suited to your particular circumstances.
Postpaid Or Prepaid Cell Phone Service – Which One Is For Me
Communicating with your loved ones, friends, co-workers or employees has never been easier and faster with the help of wireless cell phones. There are actually two types of cell phone service you can choose from – a prepaid and a postpaid. Which is the right for you? Which can help you save more? When is the best time to switch to a prepaid service? The answer will depend on your needs and lifestyle. Let us compare the advantages of a prepaid service over a post paid one to help you make a final decision.
Prepaid – Pay As You Use It
Prepaid phones are recommended for people who do not need to make calls or send messages as frequently. If you compare the rates, per minute call charges are much higher with a prepaid plan. However, you can cut back your costs if you limit the calls you make.
You can find phone plans for as low as $10 a month only. At .10 cent per minute that will give you at least 30 minutes of talk time. Reloadable cards may also come in denominations of #25, $30, $50, $100 and up, depending on the carrier. Higher card denominations have a longer lifespan than lower cards.
Prepaid phone users are not tied up to any contract. There is no need to sign any document that will indicate that you need to be with your chosen carrier for a certain period of time. If you are unhappy with your present carrier's service, you can simply get a new reloadable prepaid kit or SIM card from a different provider.
Prepaid Phone Limits
For someone who used to be a post paid cell phone plan subscriber, switching to a prepaid package may have its drawbacks. First, you'll need buy a new prepaid card and reload each time you have used up all your available balance. This limit can be a hassle especially if you need to make a call at an unexpected time. You can prepare yourself for such emergencies by reloading your account as soon as your last load expires.
To cut back on costs, set a definite budget that you are willing to spend on your cell phone each month. Do your best to stick to that budget. Take advantage of free text messages or extra talk time that your chosen carrier offers.
Being a good customer will give you a chance to get special rates since some prepaid cell phone service providers are very generous to their best subscribers. For instance, you may be able to enjoy unlimited calls or unlimited text messages simply by registering your cell phone number to the network.
Pay attention to the expiration date each time you reload. There are prepaid wireless service companies that give you the opportunity to carry over your unused calls or texts if you reload the day before your balance expires.
Also, you can cut back on costs by choosing the right service provider. See to it that the carrier offers reliable coverage in your area or in places where you often need to use your phone. Coverage is very important especially if you are the type of person who often travels.
When Post Paid is a Better Option
If a post paid phone plan suits you best, you can cut back your costs by choosing the right plan and service provider. Before signing the contract, it is a must to read the fine print carefully. Compare the prices and services offered. It is also a good idea to ask around and hear from people who have a firsthand experience in subscribing to that particular phone plan and carrier.
Up To 50 Percent Of Americans Plan To Retire From The Lottery. Are You One
So, I'm at work the other day and I am talking to people about retirement and personal finance basics. I told them that basically I don't want to work a job forever and I will most likely leave my current job within the next few years. I was surprised to find that most people I told this to laughed and asked if I was planning to win the lottery. This got me thinking. Is this how most people are planning to retire or leave work early? Do they realize that they could have so much more? After talking to more people and doing a little research, itbecame obvious that not only do most people not have plan, their ideas for attaining retirement are just down right ridiculous.
I find it funny that a large group of people think they will get to retirement by winning the lottery. Perhaps funny is the wrong word, maybe I should say disappointing or unfortunate. Whatever the name, it's not important, what is important is the fact that this is a "legitimate" plan for a large number of people. Actually, I was quite surprised to find how large of a number it actually is. Consider the stats below:
In a 1999 survey by the Consumer Federation of America and financial services firm Primerica found that 40% of Americans with incomes between $25, 000 and $35, 000 a year, thought that the lottery would give them their retirement nest egg. What is interesting is that the same study found that number to increase to 50% when the income is $15, 000 to $25, 000 a year. The study shows that people become more desperate and hopeless as their income decreases. Consider this: Let's say you spent $3 a week on lottery tickets each week. If you put that in an investment at 8% for 25 years you would have $12, 557.38. I am confident that this will be more than your total lottery winnings for that 25 year period. The odds are very slim that you will win anything.
The most popular lottery in Canada is the lotto 649. In this lottery six different numbers are randomly drawn from a set of balls with numbers ranging from 1 to 49. Your odds to win are as follows:
1 in 13, 983, 816 or
Odds of being killed by a dog: 1 in 700, 000
If everybody in Canada played the same lotto 649 draw at the same time only 2 people would win. Most people think that playing frequency will dramatically increase their chances of winning. Consider this: If you played the lotto 649 twice a week, every week, for the next thousand years, the chances of winning the jackpot are about 1%. The cost to play the lottery for that thousand years would be about $208, 000 not considering a thousand years of inflation.
I have heard that the lottery is a tax for people who can't do math. I could not agree more. People who play the lottery don't understand personal finance basics. I have never played lotto 649 and I intend to keep that streak for life. I see no logical reason to spend money on the lottery when I am 20 times more likely to get killed by a dog. And how many people do you know that have been killed by a dog? I rest my case.

Q: Is it true that chia seeds are heart healthy? If so, what do people do with them?
A: One ounce (about two tablespoons) of chia seeds contains about 10 grams of dietary fiber and about five grams of linolenic acid (the plant form of omega-3 fat). The fiber is almost entirely the insoluble type that helps promote healthy bowel function (not the type that helps lower blood cholesterol). The omega-3 fats in chia seeds differ from omega-3 fats found in fish, such as salmon. The EPA and DHA in salmon seem to be the active forms for some of the healthy metabolic effects in our bodies. The linolenic acid in Chia seeds is somewhat inefficiently converted to those more active forms. In a study with rats, chia seeds improved several blood test markers of health, but we don't know how those results translate to humans. In one placebo-controlled study, people added about 4 tablespoons of chia seeds daily to their normal diet. Among these overweight and obese men and women, blood levels of the omega-3 fat ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) increased, but after three months, there was no difference from the placebo group in weight, body fat, markers of inflammation, blood sugar or blood levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. With or without chia seeds, it's how you put together an overall healthy diet that will help you reach and maintain a healthy weight that matters. Keep in mind that two tablespoons contain about 140 calories, so if you'd like to use them, be sure to replace another food and not just add them to your current diet. Chia seeds don't need to be ground before using, and their mild flavor makes them a nice addition sprinkled on salads, cereal or yogurt, or added in baking.
Q: What are flavonoids? Are they really a big deal or just something hyped up?
A: Flavonoids are a group of natural compounds found in many vegetables, fruits, whole grains, dried beans, tea and wine. These substances are powerful antioxidants, which means they can prevent damage to our cells' DNA by stabilizing highly reactive free radicals. By preventing damage to blood vessel walls and keeping cholesterol carriers in less damaging forms, they may help protect against heart disease. Flavonoids may also inhibit cancer development, both as antioxidants preventing DNA damage and possibly through direct effects on cell growth and reproduction. You don't need special flavonoid supplements; just aim to eat vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans abundantly each day. The specific flavonoids each food contain vary; choose a variety so the different compounds can work together synergistically.
Our Mission: The American Institute for Cancer Research champions the latest and most authoritative scientific research from around the world on cancer prevention and survival through diet, weight and physical activity, so that we can help people make informed lifestyle choices to reduce their cancer risk.

how to fix leak from inside?
2 Attachment(s)
Please refer to the attached pictures.
The house is only 5 years old with walk-up basement. Basement wall is poured concrete. In raining day, two places leak pretty bad. All other place are fine. One leak is around a PVC pipe going into the house. There are a well water pipe and a power line going through the PCV pipe. The other is around the septic pipe going out the house. Both places are underground. For the leak around septic pipe, the outside of the house is a porch. No one recommend to tire down the porch to fix the leak from outside. From the pictures, you can see there are white crystallized stuff around the cement surface near the pipes. I dont see the white stuff from other place of the concrete wall. The cement around the pipes is clearly different from the cement of the concrete wall.
My questions are:
!. What can I do with the leak around the septic pipe? I can do it only from inside of the basement. This is the most headache part!:(:(:(
2. should I chisel off all the cement from inside to outside? Is it necessary? what kind chisel should I use?
3. I am planning to fix the first leak around water pipe from inside and outside. should I use hydraulic cement to fill the hole and apply roof cement from outside? should l do anything with the PVC pipe?
4. A waterproofing contractor suggested building an in-house French trench. This will cost too much. Is it an over-kill? Or the best solution?
Where are you located ?
could you help with my question? Thanks a lot!
Dig on the outside. Seal around the pipes. seal the wall. Install proper drainage tiles and stone drainage.

HOW the hell did they do it? How did tiny Qatar, a virtual city-state of about 1.5 million people, nearly half of them migrant workers from Pakistan, Vietnam and Cambodia, defeat an island continent, the globe's only superpower and two Asian giants?
It looked for all the world like the biggest of stitch-ups. Two Qatar voters - who cares which ones but let's say Mohammed Bin Hammam and his mate, Thailand's Worawi Makudi - committed to Japan in the opening round solely to knock Australia out.
The Japanese and South Korean bids were given enough votes to stay in for an extra round or two but had to be disposed of so Qatar could engineer a final-round showdown with the US. Australia had hoped it could be the surviving Asian candidate, believing that position would be a good one. It proved to be so. But not for us.
Who betrayed Australia or ignored its friendly entreaties?
Australia's strategy was fine; the hard part was convincing others to go with it. Football Federation Australia's chairman, Frank Lowy, and chief executive, Ben Buckley, talked nice. They doled out small incentives within the rules, and funded laudable projects in cleverly targeted areas. And none of this persuaded anybody who mattered that they should vote for Australia. The ''Come play'' bid came to Zurich and got played.
What did work was trading and patronage, and basic animal fear. Australia had nothing to trade - no voting bloc, no executive committee member. At least three such men - Bin Hammam, South Korea's Chung Mong-joon and Brazil's Ricardo Teixeira - have threatened to run against Sepp Blatter for the FIFA presidency next year. Running or not running creates leverage, and leverage can be traded. Similarly, South Korea's Chung flirted with the idea of unseating Bin Hammam as the Asian Football Confederation chief, and then abandoned it.
Within the 22-man field there are so many webs of patronage, influence and mutual self-interest that it was difficult for an outsider to penetrate and shape the course of voting.
Australia tried to do so by hiring consultants. It didn't happen. Peter Hargitay - a former assistant to Blatter - promised access and influence with the executive committee and inside knowledge of FIFA's arcane culture. Hargitay continued his policy of refusing to talk to Australian media after the crushing defeat, instead telling the BBC: ''One day I'll tell the real story.''
Of those who lined up behind Australia this past week, only one did not stab their new friend in the back. If Germany's Franz Beckenbauer can be regarded as the likely single voter - he was considered a near certainty - then others have engaged in some serious acts of betrayal.
Take the Cypriot Marios Lefkaritis, regarded as a clear supporter and a man who had given that clear impression to Lowy and Co. Or Russia's Vitaly Mutko, considered good ally material because his key adviser was a former partner and confidant of Hargitay. Take Blatter, a man Lowy regards as a friend and who had clearly implied he was a supporter.
Or how about Turkey's Senes Erzik? He is a man to whom Australia has devoted considerable time, effort and money in recent years, including the establishment of an annual ANZAC Day match and partnership.
The list of failed cosying attempts stretches on. Step right up, Hany Abo Rida, recipient of a visit from the Socceroos for a packed Cairo friendly last month, a money-spinner designed to give Australia extended access to lobby the African member. Instead, the Egyptian side hammered Australia, and the nation's executive committee member followed suit, voting for Qatar.
G'day, Nicolas Leoz of Paraguay, another nation to face the Socceroos recently in a meaningless friendly that could be filed under ''nice little earner''. Somehow his vote went to Qatar.
It might not be entirely surprising that no Asian vote went Australia's way (three of the four voters were bidding nations themselves). What is disappointing is the undeniable impression, based on the voting patterns, that Asia co-operated to oust us.

Hi every one,
I'm making some recherche about the VrayFastSSS2. I want to bake my Illumination Map to optimize my render time.
But the problem is, when I load the VRSSSMAP file, the color is off and a way darker. Some one Know a good way to bake the VRSSSMAP ?


text: If it's public record, then sure, it would be legal. Chances are though, that the types of people you're talking about wouldn't have a CWP or carry, but would, instead, hire body-guards who are authorized and do carry. It's a disease actually, called "RHOIDDS" (Rosie's Hypocritical Overtly Insane Deny Defense Syndrome).

An accident on the property of Tedder Equipment Company, 2232 West Road in rural Mountain Home, has claimed the life of a Salem man, 62 year old Michael Martin.
At approximately 12:00 noon today, the Sheriff's Office was notified by the 911 Call Center of a man trapped under a trailer at that location. Sheriff's Deputies and emergency medical personnel were dispatched to the scene.
Investigators learned that Michael Martin had gone to the business to pick up a tractor that had been left there for repair. The tractor was loaded onto a trailer that had not yet been fully secured to Mr. Martin's truck. Mr. Martin was standing between the trailer and the truck. The weight of the tractor shoved the trailer forward into the truck and trapped Mr. Martin between the two around his head.
Michael Martin was transported by ambulance to Baxter Regional Medical Center. He was pronounced deceased at approximately 1:25 PM by the County Coroner's Office.

The Yankees Are Killing Me
I honestly thought the last 2 and a half months were bad enough with everything the Yankees' Front Office did (or didn't) do during free agency. I was able to overcome the urge to drive off a cliff when Cliff Lee got away (pun was intentional), and I was able to stay away from sharp objects when the Yankees acquired Mark Prior and Bartolo Colon instead of Carl Pavano and Justin Duchscherer.
But last night, I literally broke something in my "man-cave" when I heard the latest news about the Yankees. Jerry Crasnick from ESPN.com is reporting that the Yankees have reached an agreement to a minor league deal with pitcher Freddy "The Chief" Garcia. If he makes the big league club, he will make $1.5 million in base salary, and then be eligible for $3.6 million from incentives.
On paper, this looks like a "low risk, high reward" setup because it's a similar deal to the ones Colon and Prior received, and Garcia did go 12-6 with an ERA over 4 last season with the White Sox. However, there is one glaring issue people seem to be overlooking: the dude is 35 years old!
The Yankees were an organization supposedly looking to "get younger" when they signed a young CC Sabathia and a young Mark Teixeira a few years ago. But now, they have reverted back to the "living in the past" philosophy that cost the Yankees nearly a decade without winning a title from 2001-2008.
Instead of going after younger guys like Justin Duchscherer and Carl Pavano, the Yankees have been sitting around with their hands tied, hoping and praying that an almost 40-year-old Andy Pettitte comes back and doesn't continue to regress. So again, much like when Bartolo Colon was signed, I ask on behalf of Yankee fans around the world: WTF?
