Industrial Roofing > IBR Sheeting
IBR is a square fluted profile with an effective
covering width of 686 mm designed for use as side cladding or
roofing material in commercial, industrial and residential buildings.
The name IBR is abbreviated from "Inverted Box Rib"
and has become a household name in the South African building
industry. The deep broad flute design offers excellent drainage
characteristics combined with optimum weight versus load/span
capabilities. IBR can be factory cranked, curved and bullnosed
to various radii depending on customer's requirements.
IBR roof sheets are available
in a wide range of materials displaying various structural properties.
It should be noted that the load span characteristics are only
to be used as a broad guideline as purlin spacing is also dependent
on other factors such as the prevailing winds in a certain area,
snow during winter periods, the presence of dust and other particles
in industrial areas, the type of structure that is being erected
etc.. We therefore recommend that an engineer is consulted to
determine the purlin spacing for a specific application.

and life span)

Available dimensions
IBR sheeting is available
in standard lengths of 1.5 to 14 metres although a length up to
20 metres is available on request. The permissible length tolerance
for the standard length range will be -0 +5 mm. Sheets outside
these parameters are available on request and might be subject
to special pricing arrangements. The maximum height which can
be transported is 4.3 metres. This factor should be taken into
account when bullnoses and curves are designed.
Roof pitch:
When using IBR, the recommended
minimum pitch for roof slopes in excess of 30 m is 7.5º and
for slopes less than 30 m is 5º.When IBR roof sheets are
end lapped the roof pitch should be taken into account. The minimum
end laps for roofs pitches in excess of 15º is 150 mm and
for other roofs a minimum of 250 mm is recommended. End laps for
side sheeting should be at least 100 mm. It is recommended that
end and side laps on low pitch roofs are sealed to ensure watertightness.
and material quality.
Roofco Steel IBR (with/without)
integral stiffening rib (*zinc coating) steel roof sheeting and
accessories with (Chromadek/Colorbond) finish on one side and
protective primer coating on the reverse side fixed to (timber/steel)
purlins or rails with a (*refer to table) spacing. All sheeting
is to be clearly marked on the reverse side at one-metre intervals
indicating thickness, material quality, coating thickness and
paint system.
Installation procedure
The required number of IBR sheets
can be calculated as follows:
Number of sheets = Length of building + gable end overhangs -
70 mm
Roof sheets must be laid with one corrugation side lap with the
narrow flute
uppermost and shall be fixed through the crests of alternate flutes
to purlins using 65 mm
Top Speed or Tex screws into steel purlins and 90 mm Tex or Top
Speed screws in the case
of timber roofs, all fasteners shall incorporate 26 mm dia bonded
For vertical wall cladding (side
cladding) it is recommended that the broad fluted are
fixed externally with the main and side lap fasteners in the web
of the flutes.
Side cladding can be fixed using 25 mm Tex or Top speed screws,
all fasteners shall
incorporate 26 mm dia bonded washers.
In order to qualify for
a guarantee on Zincalume and Colorbond sheets the following
fasteners supplied by Buildex Industries should be used: Metaltex
Climaseal 3 for steel
purlins and Timbertex Zacs 4 for timber purlins. The use of these
fasteners will dramatically
increase the lifespan of the roof sheeting as corrosion caused
by fasteners is avoided.

The How-To Lounge: Combatting the Smell of Garlic
Garlic is one ingredient everyone loves to hate. While it tastes great, some people carry the unwanted smell for days. Garlic has been called a "wonder drug", known for curing everything from the common cold to warding off mosquitos. While there are many health and culinary benefits of garlic, one major downfall trumps all - the smell. Hopefully these tips will help minimize hard to prevent garlic breath!
Click here to
- Garlic can find its way into every pore of your body, so the only way to guarantee being garlic smell free is to sadly ban it from your diet all together
- Just like anything you eat, good oral hygiene will help prevent against bad breath
- Eating at least one spring of fresh raw parsley has been known to counter act some of the bad breath effects of garlic
- Chewing Cardamon seeds is another natural way to neutralize garlic breath. Cardamon has a strong taste, so before you over load up on this spice, taste it first
- If you have the smell of garlic on your hands, try rubbing a stainless steel utensil on your hands. The metal has been known to take away the smell of garlic off your skin
- Baking soda and table salt have also been popular known cures for ridding the smell off your hands. Simply rub either ingredient on your hands and wash off with water
Since there is no sure fire way to combat the smell of garlic, make sure to surround yourself with other garlic lovers and don't forget to pack mints in your purse!

Although, relatively new to the burger scene by way of New York City (est in 2004), Shake Shack brought its franchise to Miami to South Beach in 2010, and then to Coral Gables in summer of 2012.
Now, whether they have the best burger in Miami may be HIGHLY debatable, you can definitely put Shake Shack among the top. But as far as a Burger & Fries combo, Shake Shack holds the cake for 2012.
We're talking a nicely seasoned and vinegary burger with special sauce, accompanied with the salted crinkle fries that Shake Shack has fried to perfection.

President Mbeki dismissed Deputy-Minister of Health Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge on 8 August 2007. This is a dreadful error of judgment that will harm public health-care and especially the response to the HIV epidemic. It indicates that the President still remains opposed to the science of HIV and to appropriately responding to the epidemic. We call on him to reverse his decision.
Support Madlala-Routledge Fund
The government is pursuing Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge, the former Deputy Minister of Health, for the expenses of her trip to the International Vaccine Conference. The Department of Health is withholding a salary lawfully due to her in lieu of that debt. The state has also demanded that she pays for rent due for the use of ministerial accommodation since 2001. These actions are vindictive and intended to humiliate her.
In defence of good governance and to support Ms Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge, a fund has been set up to assist her with short term financial needs related to non-payment of her salary and to cover any legal costs of defending these claims by the government. Any unspent funds will be donated to the Ingwavuma Orphans Project Website: http://www.orphancare.org.za/ Registered non-profit organization: - 010-354 NPO.
The "Support Good Governance -- Support Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge Fund" will be managed and accounted for by the AIDS Law Project on the guidance of a fund committee comprised of Andrew Feinstein (former ANC MP and former Deputy-Chair of SCOPA), Adv Adila Hassim (Acting Director of AIDS Law Project), Vuyokazi Matiso (TAC NEC Member and Eastern Cape Chairperson) and Cheryl Gilwald (former Deputy-Minister of Correctional Services).

'The Amazing Spider-Man' Superfan Creates 25-Minute Movie Trailer (VIDEO)
In it, viewers can see the evolution of Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker into the action hero, his confrontation with The Lizard and, of course, his budding relationship with Gwen (Emma Stone). Directed by Marc Webb, The Amazing Spider-Man — which hits theaters July 3 — will reveal "the untold story" of Peter a.k.a Spidey and how he got to be the person he is today.
Watch the ultimate super-trailer above.
Amazing Spider-Man costars — and real-life couple — Stone and Garfield have been on a worldwide tour to promote the film; they met on the flick's set and soon began dating.
The couple shared an adorable moment Monday afternoon atop the Empire State Building, where they were spotted taking a few pictures together on Garfield's phone.
While on the press tour, Stone gushed about Garfield to TODAY's Ann Curry.
"He is someone that I have learned so, so much from," Stone, 23, said of her 28-year-old boyfriend. "As an actor, he is incredibly present and fluid."
"It was an honor to act with him," she added.
The Amazing Spider-Man swings into theaters on July 3.

Thank you for your question.
First of all you can check on our website to find all standard tyre dimensions that fit your vehicle using our tyre selector : http://www.rezulteo-tyres.co.uk
Is this size isn't a standard size for your vehicle, then we wouldn't advise you to use this size as it doesn't correspond to your original tyres, which could cause inconvenience, such as your speedometer not showing the correct speed.

The book also gives definitions in the sense that it provides Scheme code representing this meaning. You are correct that you cannot use #u and #s directly (remember that #u and #s are written `fail' and `succeed', as stated p3). These are notational shorthands used for the purpose of presentation in the book. You cannot, in any standard way, define such constants since it would involve extending the concrete syntax of Scheme. However, you can bind the names `fail' and `succeed' to the meaning #u and #s. The code you are using does not provide such bindings, however since you know the meaning, it is easy to create such bindings yourself. To say that the book does not mention the definition of fail and succeed is clearly incorrect. It does. You asked whether the definitions you provided were some crude hack or the official way to do it. If you can convince yourself that the meanings you assigned fail and succeed are equivalent to those given in the book, the answer is no, it is not just a crude hack. David

She's notoriously private about her personal life, and yet Halle Berry just decided to join the Twitter and Instagram realms with a topless pic on Tuesday (March 29).
The "Monster's Ball" babe uploaded the racy image to her new Instagram account and added the caption, "Today is a very exciting day for me. I'm looking forward to sharing our world through images that reflect my emotions and perceptions."
There's no shortage of disparaging social media remarks regarding famous folks, and Jimmy Kimmel had yet another round of Celebrity Mean Tweets on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last night (September 24).
Always happy to address her own imperfections, Halle Berry read, "Halle Berry's boobs are lopsided," to which she replied, "Well, when they're real that happens!"
Kicking off her weekend a little early, Halle Berry showed up at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on Thursday evening (August 13).
The "Monster's Ball" babe was in the house for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's annual Grants Banquet and she looked stunning in a figure-hugging fitted blue cut-out dress as she mingled with fellow famous guests.
While award season is an exciting time in Hollywood, this year's annual pre-Oscar event, unite4:humanity, was more somber for some, including Amy Poehler.
Just hours after learning of "Parks and Recreation" executive producer Harris Wittels' untimely death, the actress attended the event, which is meant to celebrate the entertainment industry's commitment to philanthropy. She was being honored for her work with "Worldwide Orphans," but was having a hard time smiling for the cameras.
He's not afraid to throw down in fisticuffs (just ask Gabriel Aubry) and Olivier Martinez is suspected of battery following a dustup with some shutterbugs at LAX International Airport.
Though she's never been a slouch in the fashion department, Halle Berry says her husband Olivier Martinez has helped her step up her sartorial standards in recent years.
The "Monster's Ball" actress told Yahoo! Style, "I have definitely changed as a result of being married to a French husband."
She has oodles of talent and plenty of sex appeal and Halle Berry's latest venture finds her knee-deep in lingerie design.
The "Monster's Ball" babe has joined forces with Target department stores to launch a newly-revitalized Scandale Paris lineup of unmentionables priced around $16 per piece.
With the release of the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" Blu-Ray and DVD this week, FOX and Marvel Studios just unleashed a bonus clip from the deleted scenes vault.
In the 1:35 teaser, Halle Berry's Storm and Hugh Jackman's Logan end up locking lips during a steamy farewell moment.

Opposition Leader
He told a tourism conference in Canberra that though he understood the concerns of employers, one thing he would "never want to do is take money out of the pockets of workers who are not particularly well paid".
"I might be a bit of a disappointment to the audience here, because when I was workplace relations minister, I was absolutely committed to the no disadvantage test," he said.
The cost of penalties and overtime has been of major concern to the hospitality industry, particularly restaurateurs. Penalties for some workers in the industry reach 100 per cent on Sundays.
Also at the conference, Qantas chief executive
"Tourism markets are fiercely competitive, and Australia faces significant challenges, including the strong dollar and a growing cost base," he said. "We must develop a clear vision for the kind of destination we want to be. And we must build the branding, networks and infrastructure needed to support it."
Describing infrastructure development as a national challenge, he said there was little consensus between the federal and state governments and the public and private sector on the issue.
Australia needed to develop a co-ordinated response to its infrastructure priorities, and work out how to build the most urgent projects, which included a second airport in Sydney.
The increase in the passenger movement charge was another hot topic at the forum. Mr Abbott said he recognised tourism contributed 3 per cent of gross domestic product and 8 per cent of exports, but did not commit to axing the increase.
"We shouldn't use international visitors as milk cows," he said. But he added: "I'm not going to at this stage say what our specific attitude will be. We'll determine that when the specific legislation comes before Parliament."
Between the high Australian dollar and a rise in the number of Australians holidaying on cheap Asian packages, Mr Abbott acknowledged it had been a "tough decade for tourism", whereby Australia's tourism balance of trade had gone from a $3.6 billion surplus in 2001-02 to a $7.2 billion deficit by 2011-12.

Safe Use of Drug Products Packaged in Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Containers
Many inhalation drug products, particularly those marketed in a unit-dose form, are packaged in plastic containers composed of low density polyethylene (LDPE). Although convenient, the use of LDPE containers introduces two potentially serious safety concerns.
One concern
that impacts on the purity of inhalation drug products relates to the
permeability of LDPE containers. LDPE is described as a "semipermeable"
material because it is known to be permeable to volatile chemicals (i.e.,
chemicals that have moderate to high vapor pressure). Volatile chemicals are
often present in adhesives, varnishes, inks, and solvents used in labeling and
packaging materials. Thus, the labeling and packaging materials surrounding
LDPE containers contain a number of sources of volatile chemicals and there is
evidence that contamination of inhalation solutions can occur as a result of
ingress of these volatile chemicals through LDPE containers. In an
FDA study involving random sampling of a number of different inhalation
products packaged in LDPE containers, the majority of the products sampled were
found to contain chemical contaminants, whose presumed source was the packaging
and labeling materials.[D731] In addition, the
identification of chemicals originating from packaging materials in inhalation
drug products has resulted in drug recalls in the past.
The clinical consequences of exposure to chemical contaminants of inhaled drug products are uncertain. It is not possible to establish the identity and toxicologic effects of all potential contaminants. However, given that patients with respiratory diseases, such as asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), are typically very sensitive to respiratory irritants and/or immunologic sensitizers, it is possible that the ingress of volatile chemicals into these vials may induce bronchospasm. Although there have been no specific reports of adverse reactions that could be conclusively attributed to chemical contamination of inhaled drug products, FDA is aware that physicians and patients are unlikely to suspect a drug-related phenomenon when the adverse effect mimics the disease being treated. Therefore, it is unlikely that bronchospasm due to a chemical impurity would be identified in a patient receiving the drug to treat bronchospasm.
The second concern with LDPE containers is the legibility of the container label. Due to the potential for ingress of volatile chemicals and potential for bronchospasm, many of the vials do not bear a printed label. Instead, the label consists of the product name and dosage strength of the drug product debossed (sunken lettering) and/or embossed (raised lettering) on the LDPE container itself. While the use of debossed/embossed label information addresses the concern for drug product contamination by ingress of volatile chemicals, it introduces a second area of concern specifically relating to the legibility of the container label. The FDA and others are of the opinion that the difficulties experienced in reading the embossed/debossed labeling may be likely one of the contributing factors in almost every medication error reported to FDA for these products. This opinion has been voiced by numerous health care practitioners, patients, and caregivers.
Patients and practitioners have experienced problems distinguishing one drug product from another because the product name and strength embossed/debossed on the container label may be difficult to read or illegible. Furthermore, the LDPE containers of many different drug products look very similar to each other (see figure 1). Difficult-to-read labels and look-alike containers have contributed to medication errors involving the administration of the wrong dosage strength or wrong drug product.
Figure 1 – Various Drug Products Packaged in LDPE Containers
As of
Additionally, in recent years LDPE containers have been used with other drug products such as injectables, ophthalmologics, oral solutions, and topical products. The introduction of these products into the marketplace in this type of container has increased the risk of potential of confusion between an inhalation product and a product with a different route of administration. For example, GastrocromÒ is administered orally and is packaged in LDPE vials. In one medication error report, an error occurred when pharmacy staff returned unused medications from the patient care area to the pharmacy stock. In many inpatient pharmacies, medications available in LDPE containers are stored loosely in bins either on the pharmacy shelf or in the refrigerator. In this reported error, the wrong drug was placed in the wrong storage bin and it was possible the wrong medication would be dispensed.
There is also the potential for confusion between the inhalation drug products and injectable solutions (e.g., NaropinÒ, XylocaineÒ, and Heparin) now available in plastic vials. Multiple medication error reports warn of the potential for confusion with injectable medications packaged in similar plastic vial containers. The main concerns expressed were the readability of the labels on the containers and the potential for confusion with inhalation solution products.
Given these dual concerns, FDA has encouraged manufacturers to take preventive measures to limit the potential for ingress of chemical contaminants into inhalation drug products packaged in semipermeable containers. In order to protect the containers from volatile chemicals that are often present in other secondary packaging materials (e.g. cartons), FDA has encouraged manufacturers to develop appropriate protective secondary packaging, such as foil overwrap pouches. At present a few manufacturers individually foil overwrap each unit-dose container. Most manufacturers overwrap multiple vials of the drug product (e.g., 4 to 25 vials) in foil. Many institutions remove the vials from the larger overwrap in order to disseminate the medication via a unit-dose system. Once the overwrap is removed, the name and strength of the drug product are difficult to read. Furthermore, few characteristics are available to distinguish the LDPE containers visually. Although the overwrap labeling could prevent medication errors, there is still the problem of unused vials stored as loose items with labels that may be difficult-to-read and prone to cause errors.
In summary, inhalation drug products packaged in semipermeable containers (e.g., LDPE vials) may become contaminated with volatile chemicals found in labeling and packaging materials. These volatile chemicals may pose a safety risk for patients. Therefore, FDA has encouraged manufacturers to take appropriate measures to prevent ingress of chemical contaminants from labeling (e.g., embossed vials) or other source. Individual foil overwrap has been considered as a mechanism to decrease the likelihood for removal of the product prior to patient administration and thus minimize the potential for confusion and errors relating to the embossed/debossed vial labeling and look-alike vials. However, there may be other ways to address the issue. We invite discussion of other methods of packaging or labeling that will address the legibility of LDPE containers while controlling the possible ingress of contaminants. Due to the challenging and complex nature of the issues explored and described above, FDA acknowledges that input from patients, care-givers and practitioners is vital to the identification of mechanisms to address the current concerns while not creating new problems for those who use these medications. In addition, it is vital for the industry to be involved in the process to be sure that the solutions identified are viable. Therefore, FDA believes it will be beneficial to discuss the issues surrounding safe use of drug products in semipermeable containers (e.g., LDPE vials) in this public forum.
To assist you in your deliberations, we have prepared the following items for your review:
1. Issues for Discussion
2. Division of Medication Errors and Technical Support (DMETS) review on medication errors with LDPE containers
3. Congressional Letter
4. ISMP Article on LDPE labeling
5. USP Letter on LDPE labeling
6. Draft Guidance on Inhalation Drug Products Packaged in Semipermeable Container Closure Systems
7. Comments received on the Draft Guidance on Inhalation Drug Products Packaged in Semipermeable Container Closure Systems
8. Labeling Regulations for:
*A drug packaged in a container too small or otherwise unable to accommodate a label with sufficient space.
*Location of Expiration Date

Now let me first state that I do not think Scott is wrong. But Marvel is dead set on saying otherwise. So lets go along with it for awhile.

I don't think hank is trying ruin the guy they used to be friends that would be a bit much. I think he wanted to give him a slap in the face. And I think he got just that.
@boob: i think scott is mad about seeing jean again because beast made scott look bad infront of jean....scott still cares for jean in my opinion ie avx12 when scott saw a shadow figure of jean telling him to let go of the phoenix force, who else would have a calming affect on scott then jean (not emma because she has the opposite affect on him ie destroy the world make it in their image)
i remember reading a what if comic about what if phoenix(force jean) fall in love with wolverine and it said that since wolverine didnt have a calming affect on phoenix( unlike scott does), phoenix destroyed the whole universe
i guess thats why it never worked out between jean and logan...lol
I really can't keep up with how deep Scott loves Jean. One moment he is saying he loves Jean due to the fact that they shared a lot of history. But he does not have the same love that he used to, he moved on to Emma. Then within that same comic he can't think one thought without thinking of her. That's why its hard for me to believe that having Jean come from the past is really going to have that much of an impact. If anything seeing his younger self may have more of one.
They really need to figure out his feelings and stick to it.

its not really about hurting him by making him see jean its the point of making him see what he once was & how he once was jean just has alot to do with that. besides Scott's parents interaction with Professor X or his life as an X-men is minimal if at all
Im not even sure hank did it to hurt Scott lol.

@One_Eye: What in comics makes sence?
the whole comic doesn't make sense.It used to be that people couldn't time travel in 616 and if they do, they'll create an alternate universe.If Beast can bring the O5 and change the past, why don't they use time travel for other things like stop Pro X from dying?
@boob said:
@moywar700: Probably because he will ask them to do other things in the past like kill Hittler, stop American Idol, help Wanda pre M-day, tell their past selfs that having a lot of pockets does not make you look cooler . The list would go on and on.
how about he only time travels on things he most cares about.He could stop Pro X from dying in AvX.If he does that, he wouldn't even need to bring the O5.That is much easier and requires less time.

Beast also said he doesn't believe in Heaven or Hell... despite the fact that he's friends with at least three Valkyries and used to be on a team with the Son of Satan. Can we just leave it at Bendis is a terrible writer?

How to hurt Scott? Bendis the sh*t outta him.
@boob: That was in Hank's head. Clothes are magic in Hank's head.
@oviouslyjeangrey: He didn't try to hurt him from my point of view. He was trying to shock Scott to his senses. It doesn't take a theoretical physicist to see Scott is trapping himself into truly turning into a villain. I hear he was even going to change his name to Darth Flat-Scan Killer, lol.

Turning challenges into opportunities is a positive response to any potentially deleterious market condition. Matt Byrne and Julia Berris reflect on how US firms in London are achieving this
For the leading US firms in London, the past 12 months have been characterised not only by the pressures created by the economic downturn but also by how they have responded to those challenges.
As with any seismic shift, which by almost any measure is exactly what the past year has been, there are almost as many opportunities created as dangers.
Nowhere is this more illustrated than in the year enjoyed by the London office of Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker. The West Coast-headquartered firm was already showing signs that its London office was becoming increasingly central to its strategic plans last March, when The Lawyer revealed that it was relocating the chairman of its real estate practice from Los Angeles to the City.
The arrival of Phil Feder signalled that London was a key engine in Paul Hastings' future growth. It was also more specifically an attempt by the firm to capitalise on the workflows from Europe and Asia into the UK capital.
"The hit the New York investment banks are taking is substantial," Feder said at the time. Coming six months before the demise of Lehman Brothers, that statement looks remarkably prescient now.
By the beginning of this year, however, it was clear that Paul Hastings was even more determined to channel resources into building up its London office. On 14 January, The Lawyer reported that Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft had been hit by a seven-partner walkout, a group that included office head Michelle Duncan. The destination? Paul Hastings.
This critical development gifted Paul Hastings' London office with a boost in bankruptcy, investment funds and structured finance. It also gave the firm a major acceleration to the more slow and steady expansion strategy it had followed over the past decade. Along with its significant recent expansion in Germany, the US firm now boasts around 150 lawyers in Europe.
Another firm that has seen significant changes, both to its London office and globally in the past year or so, is Dewey & LeBoeuf. Dewey likes to think of itself as a new firm, just 18 months old. But ironically, it is also celebrating the centenary of its earliest predecessor firm this year. For Dewey's energetic chairman Steve Davis, who splits his time between New York and London, the idea that the merged entity is effectively a new firm represents a major opportunity.
"The reality is we're a new organisation and so there's no ingrained sense that we must do things a certain way because that's the way they've always been done," he says.
For Dewey's London office, its second largest globally, that approach has informed much of the past year. The key word is "integration". That is what both legacy firms have been spending much of their time on since late 2007. As one London-based partner told The Lawyer: "The first six months were mainly about fixing systems."
More recently Dewey has joined the ranks of firms also fixing headcount levels. In London so far that has meant announcing a consultation process in the City that is likely to result in 15 lawyers losing their jobs.
Davis is understandably reluctant to embark on a round of the even larger layoffs that have been announced at other firms.
"One of the issues that we're very conscious of is that you can cut so deep into an organisation that, when the cycle turns, you really don't have the resources to service the client," he explains. "We certainly have a real concern that we could get ourselves into such a situation."
Equally, however, Davis fully understands that there is only so long any firm can carry under-utilised lawyers. "That's really the challenge for all law firms," he adds.
One lawyer who is unlikely to be under-utilised at the moment is Gibson Dunn & Crutcher's star UK hire of 2008, Lord Falconer. The move of a figure from the centre of British government to a US law firm was virtually unprecedented until Debevoise & Plimpton hired former attorney general Lord Goldsmith in September 2007. Gibson Dunn's move last year may have mirrored Debevoise's, but it was hardly less headline-worthy.
Both hires may have been more about PR than chargeable hours, but equally both look well-founded in the current, disputes-heavy environment. Lord Falconer said as much when he told The Lawyer last year: "My challenge is to prove there's more to it than marketing. My aim is to be a hands-on lawyer and work on cases in the common-law world."
Certainly both moves have been seen by the market as innovative and even aggressive attempts by US firms to carve out a niche for themselves in London. Any law firm knows that these days a degree of marketing goes hand-in-hand with almost all of their external-facing activities. Hiring former members of the British government to help build a local litigation capability seems as good a way as any to achieve that.
One of the US firms that had the most upheaval to deal with during 2008 was White & Case. Near the start of the year the firm's London office saw the defection of banking duo Maurice Allen and Mike Goetz to Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
That departure was dramatic enough, but it signalled the extent of the discontent in White & Case and its London office. Much of the blame has been laid at
the door of chairman Hugh Verrier, a controversial figure since he was elected in 2007. Verrier's decision to leave London, one of the firm's most significant revenue drivers, without representation on the global management committee has led to widespread discontent in the capital and was also thought to be behind the departure of Allen and Goetz.
While White & Case reported relatively healthy 2008 financial results, at least in comparison with several of its rivals, the firm has not been immune to the impact of the downturn. Global profit per equity partner (PEP) dropped by 4.8 per cent from $1.67m (£1.15m) in 2007 to $1.59m (£1.09m), although the London office's PEP dropped by 2 per cent from $1.53m (£1.05m) to $1.5m (£1.03m). Global
revenue was up 7 per cent from $1.36bn (£0.94bn) to $1.47bn (£1.01bn), with London hiking revenues by 4 per cent up to $245.9m (£169.25m) during 2008.
As White & Case announced its results in February, it was implementing an associate salary freeze in its London office. London White & Case head Oliver Brettle pointed to the economic crisis for the step, saying the firm was making every effort to reduce costs during the downturn.
After the closure of several European offices last year, White & Case has now launched a global restructuring that will see 200 associates and 200 support staff axed. The London partnership will also be trimmed down in an attempt to respond to the changing global legal environment. The firm will announce which partners will be culled in London at the beginning of April.
In contrast with White & Case's financial results, Weil Gotshal & Manges reported stellar figures for 2008. Defying the credit crisis, the US firm's London office reported a staggering 22 per cent PEP hike from £1.35m in 2007 up to £1.65m last year. Revenue grew by 2.3 per cent from £57m up to £58.3m during last year.
Despite the downturn and the slowing of private equity activity Weil's London office kept busy advising on a number of high-profile corporate deals. Corporate partner Marco Compagnoni and IP partner Barry Fishley snared a lead role advising Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay's company Shop Direct Group on its acquisition of the Woolworth's brand in February this year.
Over in the US, Weil's 2008 was defined by bankruptcy star Harvey Miller's role advising Lehman on its landmark bankruptcy in September. But the London office has also made waves in the bankruptcy and restructuring sector. In November last year corporate partner Ian Hamilton was drafted in by Premier Foods to advise on its £1.7bn debt restructuring.
With a reputation as a bankruptcy and restructuring powerhouse in the US, Weil has made some moves to expand its UK restructuring capabilities. The firm
hired Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft restructuring partner Tony Horspool and O'Melveny & Myers finance partner Stuart Hill to build up the London office.
As well as continuing to grow the office through lateral hiring, Weil also promoted one partner in the UK last year. Of counsel Joanne Etherton, who joined from Clifford Chance in 2000, made partner in the firm's London corporate pensions practice.

Salamanca residents get a shock from high electric bills
SALAMANCA – Salamanca residents were shocked when they opened their latest electric bills and discovered they owe much more for power than they usually do, in some case three times as much.
"My house is large, but my electric bill is more than my mortgage," says Mindy John of Lexington Avenue. "My bill is over $800 and we have turned the heat off in four rooms and keep the temperature pretty low."
Demands for an investigation have started, including an online petition that asks Mayor Carmen Vecchiarella and the City Council to look into the rate increase.
Keith King, manager of the city's Board of Public Utilities, says he knows the reason.
"January was extremely cold," he explains, "and we, as a city, purchased more power than ever before at prices the highest they have ever been."
Before January, King says, the highest amount the city paid for power in one month was $700,000. In January, it went up to $1.2 million.
The City of Salamanca gets power from two sources – the low-cost Niagara Power Project at Niagara Falls, operated by the New York Power Authority, and higher-priced power on the open market.
"Only so much water goes over the Falls," King notes.
The cost of power on the open market is passed along to Salamanca customers through a fee called the Purchase Power Adjustment (PPA), which is added to the base rate.
"This month my usage was $218 and the PPA is over $500," Mindy John says.
The PPA is not new. It has been in place since 1979. Even users like the Seneca Allegany Casino pay the rate.
"That's how we determine how much we charge," King said. "There is a base rate of 2.49 cents per kilowatt hour that we use to pay employees, buy wire, new poles, do what we need to do to keep the operations going. The amount we charge for PPA is what pays for the electricity."
"We have nothing to do with the amount in PPA that is being charged," Mayor Vecchiarella says. "Keith King has no authority over them. This petition is a good thing, but instead of demanding that we look into this, I ask that these people contact State Sen. Cathy Young, or Sen. [Charles] Schumer to get more of an allotment for Salamanca."
The bill residents received March 1 is just the first that will reflect this winter's extreme cold snap. Vecchiarella says this bill is for the month of January. The bill that will hit mailboxes April 1 will be for February, and the one in May will be for March.
"If I could, I would slice everybody's bill and make it $100," Vecchiarella says. "We do not like these rates any more than anyone else, but there is really nothing that can be done about them."

|Frontpage | UK | In Depth | BSE and CJD
1988: Food chain concern
The government sets up the Southwood Working Party to look into concerns that BSE is entering the human food chain.
The chairman, Sir Richard Southwood, believed that BSE was probably transmitted to cattle following changes in the preperation of animal feed in the late 1970's.
A ban on the use of meat and bone meal feed is brought in along with a slaughter policy for all affected cattle. The use of milk for human consumption from suspect cows is also banned.
In October it was reported in the Veterinary Record that BSE could be transmitted to mice following the innoculation of infected brain tissue. Two months later BSE is officially designated a zoonosis, a disease that could be passed from animals to humans.
UK BSE cases: 2,225

Making a Toast
This post goes out to the beautiful Emily who needed a little help writing her maid of honor speech Whether you are a maid of honor, best man, parent, bride or groom it is best to have a plan. The couple usually decides who will speak, so if you want to make a toast make sure you express interest.
Photo Credit: Zoom Photography
Make sure your speech is between three and five minutes. Any longer and you will lose the attention of your audience. Make sure you choose an appropriate time (you should probably discuss this with the bride and groom before the event because they may have already planned a time for this). Prior to the meal being served or even after the first dance would work. Have the DJ or band leader make an announcement 5 minutes prior to the toast so guests can make sure they are seated. If you are seated where you feel everyone can see you, feel free to stand at your table and give the toast. You may feel more comfortable walking to the stage or dance floor to ensure full attention.
* I have a great trick that you should practice that I learned in a public speaking class in college. You will need a friend (or a few) to help you out with this. While you are practicing your toast, have your friends hold an empty can (a canned food can will work) in one hand and change (quarters work best) in the other. Instruct them to drop a quarter into the can every time you say "um, uh, mmm" or anything of the like. After going through your toast a few times, you will hopefully be able to say your toast without those fillers!
How to Write a Great Toast
First off, remember that the bride and groom are probably just as worried about toasting time as you are. They are a little nervous about you will say in front of their nearest and dearest. Giving a toast can me a very tough job. Making the couple feel special, while being funny and sentimental? Here's how to do it.
What to Include
- Make sure you state who you are and how you know the bride or groom.
- Thank the hosts for having the event. Feel free to thank the parents of the bride and groom for creating such wonderful human beings.
- Tell a funny story or two about your friendship (Remember no one else understands your inside jokes). Talk about your relationship with the couple while keeping the focus on them.
- Talk about how perfect the bride and groom are for each other (you'll probably get a lot of aww's here) and how they compliment one another. You can add the story about how they fell for each other here.
- This is the tricky part. Sometimes….it can be fun to make fun of the groom. ONLY if you know he can take it well. First off, don't take it too far. Limit the jokes to bad dancing skills and his love for The Bodyguard. Here comes the warning. DO NOT MAKE FUN OF THE BRIDE unless you know 100% that she will not be completely embarrassed and upset with you. This can lead to very bad things. Boy's, I know it's not fair, but this is how the world works…
- Remember there are grandma's in the audience, nothing you wouldn't want your grandma to hear. Keep it PG. (and no references to Ex's).
- Feel free to talk about the future of the bride and groom and any relationship advice you may have. Throw in quotes, lyrics, poems or religious passages.
- Close the speech with a great last line. Raise your glass, look at the couple and say "Here's to [names of the couple]," then take a sip.
How to Stay Calm
- Please don't get drunk before your toast. I've been to too many weddings where the maid of honor or best man is wasted before they even stand up to speak and I can tell you with 100% certainty, it ruins the speech, makes you look stupid and is completely disrespectful to the bride and groom.
- Notecards can be useful. I would jot down key points to eliminate nervous reading. Use a good thick sheet of paper so guests can't see you shaking. You may want to highlight sections in different colored highlighter so if you loose your spot you'll know where to go, just divide it by sections.
- Slow down. Before you start, take a deep breath and look around the room. Make eye contact with the bride or groom (remember one of them is your best friend, they are there for you!) Try and talk at a good speed, everyone wants to be able to hear what you have to say, otherwise you wouldn't be making a toast.
- If you get a laugh (yay!), don't try and keep talking over the noise. Take a second (try not to laugh at your own joke, or you could end up looking like me, I think I'm hilarious), and use this as a boost of confidence to get through the rest of your speech. If people don't laugh at you, it's okay (remember they are very likely cracking up on the inside). The thing not to do, is look up with a hesitation after every joke you make waiting for people to laugh. That way, if the line was a flop, no one can actually prove it was supposed to be funny.
- The best thing you can do is practice. Practice in front of as many people as you can. It will make you more comfortable with what you have to say and it will flow off your tongue when you are ready for the big moment.
- If this is something you are really uncomfortable with, keep it short and simple and throw something extremely heart-felt in there. If you make someone cry you get 50 bonus points! (Just kidding.)
- When in doubt, Wedding Crashers has some great pointers so go sign up for Netflix.

Tips for The Bride and Groom
- Funny story. I went to a wedding right after I turned 21 and as soon as I sat down a waiter came by with a tray of champagne, I got excited and gulped it back. Then came time for toasts. I watch everyone raise their glass and then realize Whoops! For this very reason, and for guests that get a little too excited about champagne, have the waiters pour the champagne right before the toasts are being made.
- What should you do why the people you love are basking in your glory? PAY ATTENTION! Make sure you are engaging with your eyes, laugh at their jokes and smile because you must realize this could be very hard for the toast giver. Most people don't like speaking in public so giving them your full attention will make them feel more comfortable.
- When the person giving the toast is done, let them and everyone raise their glass to you, they will take a sip, and then you should take a sip, but not until after everyone else has.
Here is a video of my brother-in-law's speech at his best friend's wedding. I think he does a pretty good job
Good luck Em! I know you'll do awesome!
P.S. You should probably video tape your speech so everyone can see how awesome you did.

Creating Backyard Fish Ponds the Neighbors Will EnvyBackyard fish ponds can be hypnotic can't they? If you close your eyes you can hear that soothing sound of trickling water from a water fall. That makes for an enchanting addition to any backyard ponds or water garden.
That's probably because a watergarden or outdoor pool is not only visually pleasing but comes with ear-pleasing sounds too. The splashing water adds tranquil background sound or can mask the noise of nearby traffic. Not to mention t backyard ponds are so darn relaxing to be around.
Is it so hard to imagine yourself surrounded by beautiful, lush plants, next to a tiered waterfall that cascades into a small pond filled with koi and beautiful water lilies?

Seton-La Salle seeking third consecutive shutout in home opener
Two familiar foes — Seton-La Salle and Keystone Oaks — will clash in a Century Conference game Friday at 7 p.m. at Chartiers Valley Stadium.
This is a McNeilly Road football rivalry that's been dominated by the Seton-La Salle Rebels in recent years.
The two teams have clashed on the final week of the regular season as Century Conference members since 2008.
Seton-La Salle has won three of the four contests, including the past two decisions by scores of 49-14 and 32-22.
The Rebels, who have shut out their first two opponents this season, look to make it 4-of-5 wins against the Golden Eagles this Friday at Chartiers Valley High School.
After opening up with a 35-0 win at South Allegheny, Seton beat Burgettstown last week, 42-0. The Rebels are 2-0 in the Century Conference and 2-0 on the year.
It has gone from bad to worse for Keystone Oaks. After starting off with a 35-0 loss at Steel Valley, the Golden Eagles fell at home to South Fayette last week, 53-0.
Keystone Oaks has a new head coach in Matt Taylor this season. He is familiar with the Century Conference; he formerly coached at Burgettstown for eight seasons.
Dale Klobuchir gives the Golden Eagles a rushing threat on offense. The senior has been a starter since midway through his sophomore season, and racked up more than 1,000 yards last season.
"We had a plan against Dale last season, and it wasn't fun," Taylor said. "He had about 170 yards, so having him on my team this season (is) great. He will have the ball in his hands as much as possible."
Senior Cory Sevacko is a 6-foot-4, 185-pound wide-receiving threat for the Golden Eagles, who are breaking in a new quarterback — sophomore Kobe Phillipps.
While Phillipps is young and inexperienced, Taylor said he has shown progress.
"I like how he is taking charge," Taylor said. "He has a really accurate arm. He is a sophomore who is paying nothing like a sophomore."
Taylor said the Golden Eagles' 4-4 defense offers plenty of weapons.
"We have a few home run hitters at each level of the defense," he said.
The Seton-La Salle defense has been sparked by the likes of seniors Nick Sywyj and Lou Rotunda, sophomore Matt Reinmund, senior Matt McGervey and junior James Ross, among others, this year.
Offensively, the Rebels have been led by senior quarterback Luke Brumbaugh, who completed 15 of 24 aerials for 271 yards and three touchdowns last week.
On the year, Brumbaugh has accounted for 371 yards and four touchdowns in the passing department.
His favorite targets have been senior wideouts Rotunda, with six receptions for 131 yards and one touchdown, and Tim Blair, who caught four passes for 68 yards in the Rebels' season opener.
Rick Mellick, a sophomore running back, scored three times last week.
Senior wideout Tyler Slagle, senior tight end Scott Orndoff and junior running back Brandon Aiello added one touchdown apiece.
Another offensive weapon for the Rebels is junior placekicker Dom DelGreco, who is 9-for-9 in PAT attempts.
Seton-La Salle defeated Keystone Oaks in Week 9 last season, 49-14.
Seton tripped up the Golden Eagles in 2010, 32-22, also in Week 9.
BRENTWOOD at IMANI CHRISTIAN Friday, 7:30 p.m.
Imani Christian, a first-year WPIAL and Black Hills Conference squad, has a group of talented skill players that won four 7-on-7 competitions this summer.
Imani lost to Bishop Canevin on the road in its season opener, 21-6, before rebounding with a 57-0 triumph at Serra Catholic last week.
The Saints (1-1, 1-1) face Brentwood (1-1, 1-1), which fell to Monessen by a 35-28 score last week, this Friday in their first home game of the 2012 season.
"We played against teams (last year) that weren't in the WPIAL. Now, we're in the SEC of Class A football," Harvey Smith, Imani's head coach, said. "Our issue is not being familiar, it's not being on the field playing against WPIAL teams.
"We have some big kids up front; they're all freshmen and sophomores. But we can throw the ball around with the best of them."
Imani is led by one of the best cover corners around in 5-8, 175-pound Brendan Edwards, has a strong-armed quarterback in 6-foot, 170-pound senior Khari Hicks, and speed at running back with Ron Brown and at wide receiver with Edwards, Eric Scott and Michael Wright.
The development of 6-7, 300-pound sophomore tackle Brannon Murphy and 6-4, 225-pound freshman linebacker are vital to the Saints' season.
Against Serra Catholic, Ron Brown ran for 132 yards on 12 carries and scored four times. He kicked off the Saints' scoring with an 84-yard punt return in the first quarter, then added touchdown jaunts of 14, 34 and 50 yards.
Troy Simon, a 6-3, 185-pound junior wideout, also scored on an 89-yard kickoff return, while Lafayette Goode, a 6-1, 230-pound junior linebacker, scored on a 50-yard fumble recovery.
Brentwood (1-1, 1-1), which blanked Serra Catholic, 48-0, in its season opener, lost to Monessen (2-0, 2-0) in a Black Hills Conference thriller last week.
The Greyhounds made a late defensive stand inside their own 20-yard line that made the difference.
Brentwood never led, but never was out of the game.
None of Monessen's five touchdowns was less than a 25-yard effort.
Clintell Gillaspie reached the end zone on 79- and 87-yard pass receptions, Chavas Rawlins darted to a 26-yard touchdown, Brandon Lenhart scored on a 41-yard interception return, and Javon Brown manufactured the game-winning touchdown on an 85-yard punt return.
Monessen's speed was devastating for the Spartans.
"It's nice to have," said Andy Pacak, Monessen's head coach. "It's a game-changer. Between Clintell on those two runs, Brown on the return and Chavas doing what he does, it's a nice combination."
Rawlins, a 6-3, 188-pound senior quarterback and West Virginia recruit, passed for 205 yards and two touchdowns on a 6-for-19 performance.
Gillaspie, a 5-11, 222-pound junior running back, ended up with three receptions for 172 yards.
"Big plays killed us," Kissel said, "and not getting in from the 1-yard line at the end of the first half, that hurt."
Brentwood countered with junior running back Justin Vickless, who ran for 197 yards on 33 carries and scored twice, and senior quarterback Chris Shortley, who completed eight of 19 passes for 182 yards and two TDs with three interceptions.
Bill Madeja, a sophomore running back, also scored on a 21-yard touchdown reception with 7:34 left in the game, but the Spartans were unable to complete the comeback.
Shortley's pass to Mike Andrews in the end zone fell incomplete on a fourth-and-10 play from the Monessen 11 with 35 seconds remaining in the game.
On the season, Vickless has run for 307 yards on 44 carries, and has scored six touchdowns.
Shortley has hit on 12 of 23 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns.
Imani is on WPIAL probation and ineligible for the playoffs the next two seasons.

I went to check out the marketplace on N. Lamar that was mentioned in the Austin Chronicle a couple of weeks ago. I'd advise going there on the weekend instead. Not much was open.
But on the way back home, I passed El Taccorido, a nice shack in the parking lot at 9316 N. Lamar. I don't have any idea how long it's been open, but it's the first time I've seen it.(I don't know the cross street, but it's in the shopping center with Shalimar's Indian restaurant.)
I had two tacos--carnitas and pastor. Both were excellent. The salsas were also quite good. And the price was right--two tacos and a Jarritos for $3.75.
I only wish I lived closer so I can try their breakfast tacos.

Date of Defense 2012-08-24 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe ocean has long played a minor role in human geography; imagining it as natural space rather than an extractive space even less significant. This dissertation explores the most revered kind of American nature preservation: wilderness. Despite the millions of acres set aside as wilderness in the United States, no such designation exists for ocean-space as a discrete entity. Through the analysis of congressional hearings, bills, resolutions, public laws, and maps, this dissertation uncovers the complex constructs of the production of legal wilderness. Furthermore, it uncovers a novel vein of inquiry, that of the ocean as a preserved natural space. Looking to the Wilderness Act of 1964 and the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, this research establishes how the former fails to construct ocean wilderness and how the latter does much the same. Despite the ocean's prominent place as the largest earth covering, the largest wilderness, and one of the most economically viable spaces on the planet, we systematically fall short in its preservation. With the limited exception of the 2006 advent of the Marine National Monument, most spaces are protected in varying degrees of conservation (resource extractive) rather than preservation (protection for inherent value). Furthermore, human geography has largely and paradoxically overlooked the spatial qualities of ocean-space; often looking only to its fringes (the littoral) and its surface-space as viable social domains. This dissertation proposes an additional layer of spatial construction, where volume and water column are as integral to the concept of the ocean as littoral and surface spaces; and, where the ocean is its own standalone, singular feature, rather than an appendage to adjoining lands.

Packages like the acl ones (which currently only works for xfs) may disappear entirely once a system call has been finalized (at which point we'll be likely to pick up the acl.bestbits.at packages and replace the current ones with those). The attr packages are in a similar boat - they rely on a custom syscall interface which will change, so we don't want any of the base tools (xfsprogs) to be affected by upheaval in that area. The xfsdump package depends on this attr package as well, so it is no longer part of the base xfsprogs set. And of course, the extended attribute and acl interfaces are not going to be xfs-specific forever, so leaving those tools in with the other xfs-specific ones is the wrong thing to do. And finally, by having smaller focused packages, people can download and install only those components that they need/want. So, there were a number of very good reasons for doing this, but the upshot is the unified xfs-cmds package is history. > As such, I just suggested putting a .spec file in the "cmd" CVS root > so you can.

I think you're taking the wrong approach - there wont be any more xfs-cmds packages coming out of sgi, so moving forward its best to track the new packaging scheme. Unfortunately, I didn't have this all working in the 0.9 (beta) timeframe, so we had to leave it for a future release. Hope this helps. cheers. -- Nathan

The 'Beauty and a Beat' singer is resting his head on the girl's lap as they are sitting in the waiting room area of the Las Vegas Indoor Skydiving.
Justin Bieber may have a new potential love interest. E! News has obtained a picture which shows the on/off boyfriend of Selena Gomez getting cozy with a blonde woman, who's reportedly a Las Vegas waitress, during a visit to Las Vegas Indoor Skydiving with his crew on June 16.
The "Never Say Never" hitmaker was seen lying down with his head resting on the female's lap and his face half-covered with a cap. According to a source, it happened "right before the flight, in a second waiting room area." The insider added, "She was caressing him on the head and shoulders."
Bieber was reportedly joined by some security members and pal Lil Czar. A witness says the teen "was occasionally putting his hands around her waist, [giving her] a couple quick kisses" as they got their helmets. "He was definitely into her, and she was into him, as I could tell," the insider stressed.
The Canadian star, however, reportedly didn't leave a good impression on the Skydiving's crew. He was banned from coming back to the facility for life after agreeing to posting an Instagram selfie of him midflight with favorable comment in exchange of a $1,600 cash payment but failing to do so.
One member in Justin's entourage was also accused of trashing the bathroom by throwing paper towel on the ground. He and his minions, who reportedly arrived minutes before closing, reportedly left without even tipping the staff who helped them.

Are Corn and Soybean Options Too Expensive?
A growing body of recent evidence suggests that premiums for financial options might be too high. For agricultural options, market participants often make similar claims, however there is very limited scientific literature to prove or disprove such claims. This research investigates the efficiency of corn and soybean options markets by directly computing trading returns. Time effects on market efficiency are also investigated. When the sample period is considered as a whole, risk adjusted returns indicate that no profits can be made by taking either side of the corn or soybean options markets. However, when time effects are analyzed, corn calls appear to have provided excess returns during the 1998--2005 period. This result do not appear to be driven by movements in the underlying futures, since similar differences were not found for corn puts. Based on the evidence presented here, corn puts and soybean options would constitute fairly-well priced insurance tools. Further research should investigate the causes of corn call returns.

A fitting exit for David Beckham
David Beckham left Major League Soccer on Saturday as he entered it – amid happy, celebratory chaos, his welcoming press conference and final hoisting of the MLS Cup trophy bookending a sometimes rocky road through the still-developing landscape of American soccer.
Beckham's numerous injuries, the more serious ones the results of his continued dalliances with playing in Europe on loan in the offseason or his incessant efforts to prolong a flagging National Team career with England, made his presence for Galaxy fans sometimes seem more like an unwanted occupation than a celebration, indeed almost at one point leading to an on-field altercation with a fan.
But over the course of six years, that changed. Beckham got comfortable in LA, his comings and goings into other MLS markets lost their circus atmosphere, and the Galaxy once again became winners, making three trips to MLS Cup in the last four years, and now winning two straight.
The Galaxy's 3-1 win over the Houston Dynamo on Saturday brought a happy ending for the Galaxy star and the team's fans, hearkening back some 35 years when another superstar Pele left the North American Soccer League after the Cosmos' 2-1 triumph over the Seattle Sounders in Portland, in what is now Jeld-Wen Field, home of the latest incarnation of the Portland Timbers.
The endings were very similar, as were the beginnings, but the stories have very different paths, both on the field and off.
Both players were global stars signed to help grow the sport in the United States, even if Beckham was more a transcendent brand than the transcendent player that was Pele. Both played crucial roles in US soccer evolution. Pele planted the seed for what the sport has become in this country. Back in 1975, there was a struggling league and little else. Now millions play the sport, the U.S. has hosted a World Cup and qualified for every one since 1990 after a 40-year drought, and it's likely none of that would have happened were it not for the Brazilian with the eternal smile.
Earlier this week MLS Commissioner Don Garber said the league "needed" David Beckham when he signed with the Galaxy on that January day six years ago. Probably so. But at that point, the league needed Beckham more than the sport in the U.S. did. At that time, MLS was barely a decade old and still struggling to put down roots on the sporting landscape in this country. Where Pele showed the country that the game could be beautiful, Beckham brought buzz, relevance and commercial credibility.
Before Beckham arrived, the league already had turned the corner in stemming its early losses, had already seen the construction of a handful of soccer stadiums, notably Columbus Crew Stadium, the Home Depot Center, Toyota Park and BMO Field, and was beginning to attract new investors, diversifying its ownership from the well-heeled and committed triumvirate of AEG, the Hunts and the Krafts that had kept things going through ten money-losing seasons.
The league had a dozen teams when Beckham signed, with Toronto already set to join the fold. That number has mushroomed to 19, with a 20th franchise imminent in New York. There are also 14 soccer stadiums, with sparkling new buildings in New York, Philadelphia, Kansas City, and Houston opening in the last three years, and remodeled ones shinning in Portland, Vancouver and Montreal, with still more on the way.
MLS also has a new TV deal with NBC Sports, a booming commercial entity in Soccer United Marketing and competition for increasingly expensive expansion franchises.
Beckham helped the league achieve that level of commercial success quicker than it otherwise would have, so maybe the chants of the Galaxy fans at HDC on Saturday were appropriate. THANK YOU BECKHAM.

This announcement knocks one more candidate off of Microsoft's (MSFT[4]) list as it looks for a replacement for retiring CEO Steve Ballmer, CNBC notes.
Microsoft is down to only a few candidates to take over Ballmer's place in the company. One of these candidates is Ford Motor (F[5]) CEO Alan Mulally, who is a close friend of Ballmer's. Mulally hasn't commented on whether or not he would take the position if it's offered to him, but he did say that he loves working with Ford. The committee searching for Ballmer's replacement has given itself 12 months (it was formed in August) to find one, but hopes to have a replacement by the end of the year, reports Reuters[6].
