USA World Cup Goalkeeper Tim Howard makes a diving save
With the 2014 FIFA World Cup in full swing, you might be curious what this game is all about, since most Americans are usually beginners when it comes to the sport of soccer, but beginners fear not! Soccer is a simple game, which may explain why it is the most popular sport in the world. Below is a guide explaining how to play and some of the rules.
Objective: The objective of the game is to win by scoring in the opposition goal and preventing the ball from going in your own goal. A team attempts to keep possession of the ball and create opportunities to score.
Basic set up: There are two teams of eleven players. Each with ten outfield players and one goalkeeper.
Positions: There are four basic positions; goalkeeper, defense, midfield and attack (striker).
- Goalkeeper - A goalkeeper's primary role is to prevent shots from going in the goal. Unlike all other players, they are allowed to use their hands, but only within the penalty area. Goalkeepers must be agile, strong and have very fast reactions to make flying saves.
- Defender - Defender's attempt to prevent the opposition from having any shots. They are good at tackling and passing to the midfield once they have won the ball.
- Midfield - Midfield operate in the middle of the pitch(soccer field) and attempt to control the game, supply passes to the attackers, score some goals and help out the defense. Midfielder's often have great endurance to get up and down the pitch.
- Striker - A striker's primary responsibility is to score goals, but they can also help defend their own goal as well. Strikers and defenders are often fast and strong.
Formations: The simplest formation is 4-4-2. This means, four on defense, four on midfield, two strikers and one goalkeeper. Different formations include 4-3-3, 3-5-2. Changing the formation changes the strategies of the team.
Commencing a game: A game starts with each team in their own half. One team "kick's off" from the center spot (see below diagram). The game timer runs continuously until the end of a 45 minute half.
A soccer pitch:
Fouls, ball's out of play and corners
When the ball goes out of play, the opposing team starts with it. If the ball goes out the side, it is a throw in. If the ball goes out behind either goal it is either a corner to the attacking team or a goal kick. If a foul is made the referee blow his whistle and either a penalty or free-kick is given. A penalty is only given when the defending team fouls within their own penalty area.
….and finally, the offside rule
Two players in an offside position for the attacking blue team
In the image to the left, the two right-most blue players are in an off-side position because they are behind the last outfield defending player (this area is shown by the blue shaded zone). This alone is not a penalty. However, if the ball is passed to either of them by a team mate, they will commit an offside offence. To prevent this, they should step in line with the furthest right yellow player.
Learn more about the offside rule here.
With the World Cup going, why not head out and get involved in a game of soccer and learn all of this for yourself?

I'm sure Simpson has been thinking about who should be on the team for quite some times now
Streit, Sbisa, Diaz and Hiller will make the team for sure, if available (and Josi as well). Weber and Niederreiter should be weighted against the Europe based players, they are not superior enough skillswise to justify being part of the team without considering chemistry issues.
Cunti is doing well and should get a chance to play in some tournament, but he needs to beat a lot of players to get an offensive role (Plüss, Rüthemann, Monnet, Bykov, Wick, Domenichelli, Sprunger, Brunner...). Players who have been consistently good for the national team shouldn't be taken out of consideration based on a below expectations club season.

Michael Levi, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, recently made a fair point in the Washington Post about the U.S.-China climate deal that I want to recognize. While conceding that the hype surrounding the deal amounts to "hyperbolic congratulations ('game-changer', 'historical', 'this century's most significant agreement')," he goes on to insist that:
It is also wrong to fix narrowly on the two-degree benchmark. It is a laudable goal, and one that is technically achievable, but by most honest reckonings, is politically implausible. And the difference between other amounts of warming – say between two degrees and three and four – could be dramatic. An agreement that cuts emissions is worthwhile even if it doesn't deliver the two degree goal.
To be sure, none of this makes the deal the "gamechanger" that some people have heralded, or means that it will "save the world" as others have claimed. Critics and enthusiasts of climate diplomacy alike focus too much on super-high standards when assessing climate agreements. Supporters have wrongly obsessed with achieving a comprehensive global climate treaty, and their opponents have gloated when attempts to negotiate such an agreement have inevitably failed. (A corollary: Those who welcomed the U.S.-China announcement primarily as a sign that a big global treaty might be possible next year are missing its main point.) Just as Cold War arms control never eliminated the risk of nuclear war, even as it substantially reduced nuclear dangers, so climate diplomacy can help the world by reducing the risks of global warming, even as it never rids the planet of them. That's the right standard by which to judge the big U.S.-China climate announcement – and, by that measure, the deal is a genuine success.
Again, fair point…

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a form of mild depression often caused by the lack of light, specifically sunlight. Folks that live in the northern half of the USA and Canada dont get to see the sun much in the winter months. Sunlight of course being the light of choice to help prevent S.A. D.
This time of year when clouds are abundant and the daylight hours short, it is easy to see why so many folks especially in the northern climates are so affected. (If you live in the Southern Hemisphere you may experience SAD during the months May, June & July). And folks that live in very hot climates can be affected by S.A. D. year around!
SAD is caused when not enough sunlight travels via the eyes optic nerve to stimulate the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus helps the brain to regulate our moods, helps sleep and hunger patterns.
When we are deprived of our sunlight we can have less energy, fatigue, a hard time concentrating, become sleepy easily and become depressed.
Some folks will crave sweets that will only give you a short term 'high' that then can lead into mild depressive states, not to mention weight gain.
What essential oils can help you and your family members if they should have S.A.D.? Several oils known to stimulate the hypothalamus include: Frankincense Bergamot, Geranium and any of the Citrus oils or their blends.
The best is to try to get outdoors during daylight hours. The early morning sunshine is the best. This will help the chemical reactions needed to stimulate the hypothalamus. Sunny days of course being better than cloudy, but any natural light will help and as stated above earlier in the day is better than later.
Any essential oil that makes you feel good about yourself or happy and content are always the best oils to choose during the winter months especially if you are prone to suffer from S.A.D.
Normally citrus and floral scents will make people feel happier, but as I said, any oil you enjoy and especially should you crave the scent then your body may be telling you there is something in that oil or oils your own chemical makeup needs. As these may be the oil or oils you need to help you the most during this time.
There are special natural light bulbs that are very helpful for severe cases. These would be a benefit also. These bulbs are expensive, but for those of us looking for natural cures, the price for a few bulbs is worth the extra cost.
Here are a couple blends to help stimulate the brain and to help with depression
Geranium - 11 drops
Ginger - 10 drops
Bergamot - 9 drops
Geranium - 15 drops
Bergamot - 10 drops
Lavender - 5 drops
Bergamot - 10 drops
Grapefruit -10 drops

Blend and use in diffuser or add several drops to bath or shower.

Perhaps there was a quiet moment of schadenfreude for Gordon Campbell in the days leading up to the Olympics, as the organizers suffered a series of gaffes, sponsorship outrages and public political squabbles and the Britain's tabloids mocked what they were then calling an "Olympishambles."
After all, that's exactly where he'd been two years before when, as premier of British Columbia, he watched the London papers rip into the early days of the Vancouver Winter Games for their flubbed opening ceremony, their tragic luge death and their seemingly endless rain.
If there was such a moment, he is too diplomatic to acknowledge it. As Canada's High Commissioner to Britain (a job he took up last year), Mr. Campbell prefers to talk about what happened next: In Vancouver in 2010, as in London in 2012, things suddenly got better, as some clever forms of organization shared between the two Games kicked into play.
"The British media, they were writing some charming articles about what was going on in Vancouver," he said during an interview at his office in Grosvenor Square. "But I frankly didn't care about what they were writing in Britain … what I cared about was how the people in Vancouver and British Columbia felt about it – and they loved it."
The success of the Vancouver Games led to a lot of phone calls and visits from the London organizers, who wanted to emulate an Olympics that was admired for being open to the wider city and staffed by a well-organized army of citizen volunteers. The London organizers have talked a lot about "the Vancouver example" these past two years – and, in fact, there are 200 people from the Vancouver organizing committee sitting on London's organizing committee.
The platoons of pink-suited volunteers who fill every street corner and train station in London, offering assistance, directions, logistical advice and bar recommendations to visitors are modelled on Vancouver. So are the concerts and live events scattered throughout central London, far away from the Games site.
Mr. Campbell was a sought-after voice, as he had been involved with the Vancouver Games from their bid in 2003 through to the closing ceremony seven years later – and had endured all the fiscal nightmares and wrestling matches with an imperious International Olympic Committee that host governments must endure.
Vancouver had been a success partly because Winter Olympics are less expensive and awkward – after all, they take place in cities where winter-sport activities are typically taking place anyway. But Vancouver also had some organizational innovations based on lessons – not entirely positive – learned from watching the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, Italy.
"We came out of the Turin Olympics and we thought, you have to make the Olympics something way beyond the sporting activity," Mr. Campbell said.
Turin, like most previous Winter Games, had seen sporting events walled off from the surrounding city, which was mainly used to provide accommodation and a transit corridor to the sports.
Mr. Campbell and his colleagues saw a new approach: "You give it to the city, you give it to the people, and one of our goals in Vancouver was to say, 'This is your Olympics, you're invited to it.' So we had activities taking place all over the city … And I think they're trying to emulate that in London – except that London is so much bigger than Vancouver is, it's hard to see it in the same way that we saw it in Vancouver."
The other influence from Vancouver – less visible to visitors – is the way these Games are being used by the government as a gigantic political summit and business gathering. Host governments have always taken advantage of the presence of hundreds of foreign political and business leaders in their city, but the Vancouver Games made it a more deliberate and organized affair, and London has taken it several steps further, setting up major venues for deal-making and negotiation in the shadow of the sporting events.
Canada is using the London Games – and Canada House, the Trafalgar Square icon that has undergone a multimillion-dollar renovation – as the backdrop for a series of industry gatherings, business meetings and mini-summits between politicians and foreign businesspeople. There are some 20 such events scheduled during the 16-day Games, and half a dozen cabinet ministers, at least one premier and the Governor-General have already passed through, shaken hands and sometimes signed documents.
"The Olympics is a great international attraction – it's one of the few things left that really brings all the world together," Mr. Campbell said. "And to have those head decision-makers in your country – once they're here, they're here. The Olympics are where you start the deals."Report Typo/Error

Smith leads Hawks past PacersFeb 9, 2012 - 4:14 AM Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Josh Smith had 28 points and 12 rebounds on Wednesday, leading the Hawks to a 97-87 win over the Pacers.
Atlanta had lost three in a row, but got 20 points and eight assists from Joe Johnson, 17 points from Kirk Hinrich and 13 from Tracy McGrady to close its four-game homestand with a victory.
"We weren't playing well," said McGrady, who scored seven of his points in the fourth quarter. "I think we recognized that. Tonight we wanted to provide that energy and that effort and I think we did that."
Danny Granger scored 21 points to lead the Pacers, who had won five of six coming in. David West and Tyler Hansbrough added 15 points apiece while Roy Hibbert finished with 10 and 13 rebounds.
The Hawks, who had lost to the Grizzlies, 76ers and Suns in succession, appeared determined to end their slide. They used an early 20-4 spurt to take a 32-21 lead into the second quarter and didn't relent, stretching the margin to 59-41 at the half behind 16 points from Johnson.
The Pacers showed life in the third, cutting their deficit to single digits, 63-54, on West's 19-footer. They had it to eight, 80-72, entering the fourth behind a buzzer-beating trey from A.J. Price.
The score was 87-80 with eight minutes to play when Atlanta reeled off a 7-2 spurt to put the game away. Smith started the run with a hook shot and McGrady followed with a three-pointer. Hibbert's bucket made it 92-82, but McGrady struck again with a layup and the Hawks led by double digits the rest of the way.
"Give Atlanta a lot of credit," said Pacers coach Frank Vogel. "They came out, having lost three in a row, with tremendous edge and took the fight to us. We fought like dogs in the second half to come back and compete and make it a game, but they were too much."
Game Notes
The Pacers have lost nine straight road games to the Hawks. They haven't won at Philips Arena since December 22, 2006...Smith added five steals but committed five turnovers...The Hawks led by as many as 21, while the Pacers' largest edge was one.

Free ammo at gun-law protest? Not quite, Denver Post
As we've reported, Magpul is a weaponry business based in Erie that's so aghast at new gun-control laws about to go into effect that it's pledged to leave Colorado. Before folks at the firm pull up stakes, though, they're doing everything they can to protest what they see as an attack on their rights as American citizens via efforts like a recent sale of special "Free Colorado" magazines to benefit gun-rights causes. But is Magpul now going to hand out actual ammunition to make its point? Not quite -- even though the Denver Post reported it this morning.
Here's the headline that appeared in the Post's print edition:
So...is Magpul giving away bullets? Nope -- as the headline on the Post's online version of the article makes clear. Instead, the company is offering magazines of the same sort featured in the aforementioned sale. Here's a larger look at the "Free Colorado" magazine....
...and this is a variation dubbed "Boulder Airlift" that has also been earmarked for giveaway:

How can you get one of these mags? By being among the first 1,500 people over age eighteen to show up at an event called the "Farewell to Arms Freedom Festival," which takes place from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, June 29, at Infinity Park, 4599 East Tennessee Avenue in Glendale.
Why was this date chosen? The Magpul Facebook page notes, "This event marks Coloradans' last chance to celebrate the ability to own standard capacity magazines prior to new Colorado laws taking effect on July 1st."
The event is sponsored by FreeColorado.net, a nonprofit that describes its mission like so: "Engaging in targeted actions to reverse Colorado laws that imperil the rights of law-abiding firearm owners and ensuring that no other State passes such reckless government regulation."
The site linked above encourages early registration, especially for those who want one of the free magazines, which will be illegal to purchase in Colorado next Monday. But when it comes to bullets, you're on your own.

Exploring the positive utility of travel and mode choice
Patrick Singleton, Portland State University
Traditionally, travel is considered a disutility to be minimized, and travel demand is derived from activity demand. Recently, scholars have questioned these axioms, noting that some people may like to travel, use travel time productively, find other benefits in traveling, or travel for non-utilitarian reasons. These are instances of "the positive utility of travel" (PUT). In this dissertation, I conceptually and empirically investigate PUT, its determinants, and its impacts on travel behavior. Using a questionnaire survey of commuters in Portland, Oregon, I collect primary data on PUT for use in a three-pronged analysis. First, I construct a measurement model of PUT and its various components. Second, I uncover traveler characteristics associated with PUT factors. Third, I tie everything together and examine the effects of PUT on commute mode choice. This study is one of the first to examine all components of PUT (travel activity and travel experience factors) at multiple levels (general, mode-specific, and trip-specific). It is also one of the first to analyze PUT's impacts on mode choice. My research also has important implications for transportation planning and policy, by improving our knowledge of influences on (and forecasting of) sustainable modes and anticipating potential behavioral shifts with autonomous vehicles.

Norramby Fishing Village, is the main place which supplies Sodor with fresh fish, usually caught early in the morning. It has appeared ever since the fifth season.
History and Operations
The fishing village supplies the fish goods to be taken to Brendam Docks, for shipping to The Mainland. Sodor's own fish supply also comes from here. The pier, Sodor Inn and a small platform for unloading goods is located nearby. In conjunction with the fish supplies from Brendam Docks, the Flying Kipper, pulled by Henry, also sometimes carry an extra supply of fish from the fishing village, which also gets delivered to the Mainland. In the fifth season, there was a two-tracked engine shed located here but since the seventh season, it's only a one-track engine shed.
Once, Thomas was waiting for an early morning catch of fish to be loaded into his vans, which would be taken to Brendam Docks and then delivered to the mainland via the Flying Kipper. The fishermen were using old equipment and the work was delayed. Suddenly, an old crane began to malfunction, dropping a crate of fish on Thomas in the process. The train was delayed even more for Henry, who was waiting to take the flying kipper to the mainland. But Thomas managed to get it there before too long.
- Since the fifteenth season, there is no longer ballast underneath the rails, as they are built into the concrete.
- The engine shed is currently on display at Drayton Manor.
- In My Journey with Thomas the Tank Engine, the fishing village was said to be in Suddery, but given Sodor's nature as an island, there could be other fishing villages.
- Bulstrode was seen in the Fishing Village in Happy Ever After without his face and eye mechanism.

Tevapedia, the real free encyclopedia at Wikia
The Charlotte Bobcats are a professional basketball team based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The team was originally named the Charlotte Hornets, but the name was taken by former owner George Shinn for his New Orleans Hornets franchise.
The Bobcats play in the Southeast Division of the National Basketball Association. They were founded in 1988 and began play in the 1988-1989 NBA Season.
Franchise History
Birth of the Charlotte Hornets: 1985-1988
In 1985, the NBA announced plans to expand the league. Local Charlotte businessman, George Shinn promised the state of North Carolina that they would have their own NBA franchise within ten years. Shinn would quickly establish an ownership group to head the franchise.
Due to North Carolina's rich history in basketball, it was obvious that the NBA wanted a team in North Carolina. Charlotte was the perfect place to have it due the town being the largest city in North Carolina and because it was one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States.
Despite all of this, most critics did not think that Charlotte could contain and maintain their own basketball team. There was a joke by one critic saying that the only franchise Charlotte could hold would be a fast-food franchise. The main thing that got Charlotte the franchise was George Shinn's Charlotte Coliseum, an arena that could hold up to 24,000 spectators. This was the largest arena in the NBA during this time. On April 5, 1987, David Stern, the NBA commissioner, announced four franchises that had been granted, Miami, Florida's Miami Heat, Minneapolis-Saint Paul's Minnesota Timberwolves, Orlando, Florida's Orlando Magic, and Charlotte, North Carolina's Charlotte Hornets.
The team was originally named the Charlotte Spirit, but a name-the-team contest proved the Hornets to be a fan-favorite. The name comes from the city's resistance to the British during the Revolutionary War, which earned the city the name of the "Hornet's nest." The name had also been used for names of defunct sports teams based in Charlotte.
The Hornets received a lot of attention for its choice of teal in their uniforms, setting off a fashion craze in the late 1980s until the early 90s. Many teams in other leagues used teal in their uniforms also.
Despite concerns that the Charlotte Coliseum was too big, team owner George Shinn hoped that the area's love for college basketball would transfer into Hornets support. These hopes would materialize as the tickets would sell 21,000. Tickets were very difficult to acquire during this period. The Hornets sold out for 358 consecutive games, which equals nine NBA seasons.
Carl Scheer was hired as the teams first general manager. He made the decision to put veteran players on the roster to have a competitive team as soon as possible. Scheer would also hire veteran assistant coach Dick Harter as head coach.
Early Years: 1988-1992
In the earlier years of the Charlotte Hornets, they were led by former Detroit Pistons guard, Kelly Tripucka. Tripucka would provide instant offense for the young team. He would be the franchise's leading scorer for its first two seasons. The team's first ever draft pick, Rex Chapman, was a 3-point shooting threat. Muggsy Bogues, the shortest player in NBA history, was the teams floor general. Despite all of this, the Hornets proved they were an expansion team by finishing 20-62.
The 1989-90 season was just a horrible season. Dick Harter was fired as head coach midway the season in January after players got tired of his defensive-oriented style of play. He would be replaced with Gene Littles. After this the team would go on a 3-31 stretch that lasted until March. This would effectively end the Hornets season as they would finish 19-63, the worst record in franchise history.
Charlotte would pick up guard Kendall Gill for the 1990-91 season and would see their win totals increase from the previous season, they would finish 31-51 and host the All-Star Game, but still got the first pick in the 1991 NBA Draft. They would choose UNLV 6'7 forward Larry Johnson. Johnson would finish amongst the top in all of the categories amongst rookies and would win the 1992 Rookie of the Year Award. Kendall Gill was the team's leading scorer and the team stayed in playoff contention until mid-March.
Playoff Contender: 1992-1999
In 1993, the Hornets won the second pick in the NBA Draft and chose 6'10 Georgetown University center Alonzo Mourning. Mourning would quickly form a super-duo and led Charlotte to the best record in the franchise's history and their first ever playoff berth. The Hornets finished 44-38 and would defeat the fourth-seeded Boston Celtics 3-1, but would fall to Patrick Ewing's New York Knicks 4-1.
During the next few seasons, the team faced various injuries to Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson. They would miss the 1994 playoffs, posting a 41-41 record. They would return to prominence in the 1994-1995 season posting a franchise-best 50-32 record, they would then lose in the first round of the playoffs to the second Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls 3-1.
After the season, Alonzo Mourning was dealt to the Miami Heat due to his ongoing conflict with teammate, Larry Johnson. The Hornets would get Glen Rice, Matt Geiger, and Khalid Reeves. Geiger and Johnson would lead the team in rebounds, while Rice and Johnson would lead the team in scoring, All-Star guard Kenny Anderson would replace the injured Muggsy Bouges for the season. Despite all of the changes, Charlotte would miss the playoffs again with a 41-41 record. At the end of the season, NBA legend Dave Cowens would become the head coach.
The offseason would bring forth many changes as Kenny Anderson decided to leave, franchise player Larry Johnson was dealt to the New York Knicks, they drafted Kobe Bryant and sent him to the Los Angeles Lakers for Vlade Divac. The new-look Hornets became instant favorites to win the title as they posted a 54-28 record, the team was led by Glen Rice and Anthony Mason as they both had career seasons. This was the best season in franchise history with 54 wins. In the playoffs, they would fall to Larry Johnson's New York Knicks in a 3-0 sweep.
The Hornets would also be successful in the 1997-1998 season as they picked up Davis Wesley and Bobby Phills. Charlotte was again led by Glen Rice, the league's sixth leading scorer. He would lead the team to their second ever second round appearance. They would again lose to the Chicago Bulls.
1998-1999, the lockout year, was a horrible season as they traded Glen Rice to the Lakers for Eddie Jones and Elden Campbell. Dave Cowens resigned from head coach and Paul Silas came in as the Hornets missed the playoffs.
End of Success: 1999-2002
Charlotte would return to prominence in the 1999-2000 season after acquiring Derrick Coleman and drafting Baron Davis. The team would dominate the 1999-2000 season, but would lose guard Bobby Phills to his death in a car accident in January 2000. His number was retired in February of that year. They would return to the playoffs and would fall to Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers. During the offseason, Eddie Jones and Anthony Mason were sent to Miami for P.J. Brown and Jamal Mashburn.
The season would be overshadowed by off-court issues surrounding the team. Interest in the Hornets were on the decline because of their disagreeance with owner George Shinn and his decisions. This was mainly not paying star players enough money to stay on the team. Fans would become more upset with the franchise when Shinn refused to let Michael Jordan become the head of basketball operations.
What would generate the most headlines would be a woman that accused George Shinn of raping her. Despite him winning the case, his reputation was ruined in the city of Charlotte and in the state of North Carolina. The Hornets' attendance would drop even further and would never recover as fans took their anger out at the team.
In 2000-2001, the Hornets returned to the playoffs and beat the Orlando Magic, but would lose to the New Jersey Nets.
Exit Hornets, Enter Bobcats
Even though the Hornets continued to have competitive teams, attendance continued to fall, mainly because George Shinn had become a local villain. The Hornets would rank at the bottom of attendance throughout the early parts of the decade.
Shinn would soon demand a new arena to be funded by the city of Charlotte, because the Charlotte Coliseum was no longer adequate. The city would refuse and Shinn threatened to move the team if they did not supply the team with a new arena. He looked at Memphis, St. Louis, Norfolk, and Louisville as possible relocation places.
The city would then offer to build a new arena in Uptown Charlotte and Shinn withdrew his relocation form. The only thing about the arena was that it had to be passed by citizens of the city, it was passed, but mayor Pat McCrory vetoed the bill. The city would find another way to build an arena, but Shinn had to sell the team to do so. The NBA knew that Shinn was bad to Hornets fans, but also knew that this deal would anger other owners. Charlotte would not back away from the deal so Shinn decided to move the team to New Orleans, Louisiana. The Hornets were to play at the New Orleans Arena starting in te 2002-2003 season.
Despite losing the Hornets to New Orleans, the NBA promised that the history would stay in Charlotte and that they would get another franchise to begin play in Charlotte in the 2004-2005 NBA season. This deal went through before the Hornets finished the playoffs.
Charlotte Bobcats: 2004-present
The Charlotte Bobcats would hold their expansion draft on June 22, 2004, picking up Predrag Drobnjack and Sacramento Kings forward Gerald Wallace. They would gain the second pick in the 2004 draft and chose Emeka Okafor, the 2005 Rookie of the Year. The Bobcats would post a franchise-worst 18-64 record, coached by Bernie Bickerstaff. This was the most losses they had since 1990. The most important win came on December 14, when they defeated the New Orleans Hornets 94-93 in overtime.
During the offseason, Michael Jordan finally got his job as president of basketball operations for the franchise.
They would improve by eight games to a 26-56 record behind point guard Raymond Felton, but would again miss the playoffs. The team did better than expectations winning despite losing Emeka Okafor to injury.
Charlotte would win seven more games than the previous season going 33-49 led by Okafor and Felton, but still missed the playoffs. Bickerstaff would resign as coach, but remain as GM. Sam Vincent would become the new coach. In the 2007-2008 season, the Bobcats finished 32-50 with one less loss than the previous season. In 2008, Vincent was fired as Charlotte's coach and was replaced by the legendary, Larry Brown.
Home Arenas
The Bobcats played their first home games at the Charlotte Coliseum as the Charlotte Hornets and their first season as the Bobcats. In 2005, they began play at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena.
The arena has since been named the Time Warner Cable Arena.

Roaming revenues will reach over US $66 Billion in 2016' says latest visiongain report
London, UK. 5 July 2011. This timely report is entitled Global Mobile Roaming: Operator Strategies, Opportunities and Challenges in the 3G and LTE Era. Visiongain's latest research shows that roaming revenues will reach over US $66 Billion in 2016.
To make the most of this opportunity, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) must prepare themselves to meet the new challenges and opportunities that are shaping the roaming landscape, particularly with the advent of Long Term Evolution (LTE).
2011 marks the year that LTE services are being rolled out around the globe. Visiongain believes that LTE will have a transformative effect on the roaming sector. How can additional revenues be gained from LTE roaming services? MNOs need to have the knowledge of LTE roaming opportunities and revenues up to 2016, when the LTE market will enter into a rapid growth stage.
This visiongain report offers LTE roaming revenue forecast from 2011-2016 with figures broken down into regions, segments and service types. MNOs, investors and affiliates can position themselves favourably by having a view of the market as it stands now, and how it will look in the near future. To help the reader capitalise in this growth sector, the report analyst describes the right strategies to embark upon, whilst framing the forecasts and projections within every sector of the market. Readers of the report will also discover the current roaming legislation, new business models and the key drivers and restraint of this sector.
This new visiongain report analyses the existing roaming market as European MNOs once again cut roaming tariffs in line with EU regulations from 1 July 2011. The enterprise roaming segment has long provided a reliable price inelastic revenue stream but this stream can be widened to include the mass market and increase revenues in an increasingly saturated market. International regulatory bodies are taking action with regards to roaming costs, and now is the time to capitalise with smart and effective pricing strategies. This report offers a comprehensive view of key roaming operators from around the globe and their roaming offerings.
Operators need to deal swiftly with data pricing and bill shock, to ensure subscribers utilise roaming services in increasing numbers. This report provides crucial data and forecasts for any current or potential member of the LTE and roaming ecosystems.

Jumana Nagarwala, 44, of Northville Michigan is accused of performing female genital mutilation on underage girls. According to a criminal complaint, Nagarwala performed the procedure on girls ages six to eight years old at a medical clinic in Livonia. Some of the children were brought from out of state for the illegal procedure. Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is considered the complete removal or partial removal of the clitoris, known as a clitoridectomy. FGM is internationally recognized as a violation of the human rights of women and girls. Some consider FGM as a religious and cultural practice. The purpose of this illegal practice is to suppress female sexuality in order to reduce sexual pleasure.There's an obvious and simple solution to this growing problem: Just revoke our laws against FGM. After all, we've surrendered to alien cultures in the past when our laws and customs clashed. Who are we to require immigrants to assimilate to our ways?

Of course male genital mutilation is still encouraged. Our masters wouldn't have it any other way.

Pretty disgusting stuff there.
It's also bizarre how sexually aggressive poor immigrants tend to be. Latinos have made a reputation for themselves; it's not only Muslims.

On a similar note, NYNY has passed some laws against Rabbis of the chosen ones, giving babies herpes as a result of their archaic ritual of circumsision.
They like to suck the blood from the babies penis after the cut. (Truth stranger than fiction.)
How gross!

Tail wags Queensland to victory
Queensland 8 for 241 (Symonds 79, Bracken 5-49) & 209 defeated NSW 245 & 203 by two wickets
The tailenders Andy Bichel and Ashley Noffke guided Queensland to a thrilling two-wicket Pura Cup win over New South Wales at the Gabba. Bichel (28 not out) and Noffke (15 not out) ensured Queensland picked up outright points with 22 balls to spare on a rain-affected last day.
Bichel and Noffke came together with 24 still needed for victory after Nathan Bracken dismissed the injured batsman Martin Love, who has a broken finger, for a gutsy 6 in 39 minutes. Andrew Symonds top-scored with 79 but Bichel was named Man of the Match for his 10-wicket match haul and invaluable lower-order batting.
Bracken (5 for 49) was the pick of the New South Wales pace attack while Matthew Nicholson took two wickets as Queensland slipped to 7 for 197 chasing 240.

As if he wasn't busy enough, now it's time to make a college decision. "I'm still not positive [of a school]," Hairston said after the game. "It's one school one day and a different the next."
Though he wouldn't name the schools, Hairston did say he's considering three. Kansas, Michigan, Ohio State and UCLA are the four named the most in the process.
Hairston knows it's time to decide and end the drama. "Sometime in the next week I'll talk with Coach White, Coach Walker, my mom and my dad. It's time now, there's no hesitation."
When asked what he would do if forced to decide on the spot right now, the charismatic Hairston was brief. He said he'd probably run.
He can run all he wants but there's no hiding from this decision.

After winning everything for 17 years, including six WQS events in 2011 on his way to Dream Tour qualification, Kolohe Andino spent the better part of 2012 and 2013 losing in the first or second round of nearly every WCT. His contracts with Hurley, Target and Red Bull still deemed him one of the best surfers in the world, but his ho-hum results told another story. Life on tour ain't always an easy adjustment, especially for a teenager.
Kolohe turned 20 on March 22, and less than two months later, he turned in the best result of his young career when he finished second in the Billabong Rio Pro to Michel Bourez. Since Brazil, he's been a staple on the final day of nearly every WCT. New age, new outlook. Currently, Kolohe sits at 10th place in the world and recently surfed the "best wave of his life" in Portugal. Back at his house in San Clemente, California, I figured that was as good a place to start as any. –Zander Morton
SURFING: How good was that day?
KOLOHE ANDINO: It was crazy good, but that was the best wave that came in. When I paddled into it, I was looking at Jordy, John and Josh. The J's. [laughs] It was just us four out. I was in the barrel looking out at those guys and I was just screaming. I came out and went straight into a really good section, and for some reason decided to do an alley-oop. I never do alley-oops.
Yeah, that doesn't seem like your go-to air at all.
I'm more of a frontside air-reverse guy. I always see John John doing huge alley-oops on big sections, and that wave wedged together perfectly. The night before, John made a big one, so when I launched mine I was like, "I'm just gonna go for it — try to make it." I've seriously been studying those things like crazy. Everyone says they're super easy, but they're really hard for me.
It's the opposite of your normal rotation.
Yeah, exactly. When I did that one, I was trying to keep all those little things I had studied in my mind. Usually, when I do airs that big, I straighten my legs all the way because I'm not used to being that high, but when I do that, I land super hard and fall. So on that one I was telling myself, "keep it sucked up, keep it sucked up," and somehow I made it. I stood there for a second, flung my board out in front of me and then I went in. Done. That was the best wave of my life.
How good did it feel to land that in front of those guys?
You can see in the clip, they're all clapping right at the end. Yeah, it feels good. It's a lot better that they were there.
People like to claim biggest and best, but that's gotta be up there…
It's definitely the highest air I've ever done.
How was Portugal?
The event was a little anticlimactic. But a lot was happening over there. Your air, Slater's 540. Speaking of which, were you out that day, too? Yeah, I was. It was that perfect wind where you could get barreled and also do airs. Kelly paddled out and I was like, "Oh man, this is your kind of air wind." It was the same kind of wind as when he did that air at Bells. I saw him take off on that wave, and then he did… that. I didn't think he made it because I couldn't see him ride away.
After he over-rotates, you wouldn't expect him to land it.
Exactly. Myself, Mitch Crews, Brandon Guilmette and Brett Simpson all watched it from the back. We were tripping. When I was younger and I'd see guys like Kelly do crazy shit in person, I'd almost freeze up and not want to catch a wave afterward. I feel like I'm almost used to it now because I'm around the tour and people are always doing crazy shit, but after Kelly's air, Mitch didn't catch a wave for the rest of the session. [laughs]
Julian Wilson says the best surfing is happening on tour because of the added pressure. Do you feel the same way?
Yeah, totally. And all around it. Like I said: Jordy, Josh and John John were all out there when I caught that wave in Portugal. I definitely want to try my hardest not to get smoked by them. Which can be frustrating, too, if you're having even a little bit of a shocker and they're ripping super hard. Sometimes I'm just like, "F–k, this sucks. I suck."
You basically spend an entire year surfing with the best guys in the world and pushing each other.
Yeah, it's crazy. Kelly did that 540, the next day I got my wave and then later that afternoon Jordy did a really big backflip. I was overwhelmed with crazy surfing.
On a different note, did you always know you were going to make it on tour? Was there ever any doubt?
When I was younger I was always winning; I didn't really know any other feeling. But I guess the only time I doubted myself was at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. I had to ask myself: "Am I good enough to actually be in the top 10, or the top five? Or am I just going to be one of those guys that are scraping at the bottom, just trying to requalify every year?" Which is fine, there's no other place I'd rather be than on tour, but last year the best result I got on tour was a ninth. I got one ninth. I was asking myself, even though I was only 19 years old, "Am I good enough? Is it ever going to happen for me?" I was really frustrated and really down on myself.
You're a big sports guy; did you take any comfort watching other star college athletes stumble in the big leagues as rookies? You see it happen all the time. And what's changed the last six months?
As much as I watch sports and watch rookie athletes having shockers, I've always been really hard on myself. I would never — and I still don't — make any excuses for myself. Like, I'm young, but that's not an excuse. I think my big turning point was when I beat Travis Logie in the fifth round in Brazil. I beat him with an interference; I got a wave right at the end. It's one of those things in sports, like if a young, struggling quarterback finally scores a big touchdown at the end of the game to win, after that it seems like everything goes right.
Are you going into 2015 with a different confidence? Treating yourself like a world title contender?
I'll be 21 at the beginning of next year, so I've got so much time. Realistically, I'll probably start going for the title when I'm 25. The main thing I'm stoked on is I've been surfing a lot and having a lot of fun. I feel like my surfing is improving in the areas that it has to. I just keep trying to get better and better because I've got John John and Gabriel that are the same age as me, and they're obviously doing really well.
Who is your biggest motivator right now?
Definitely John John, and obviously Gabriel, but John is my friend and he's from Hawaii and I think his surfing has been incredible this back half of the year. Watching him surf, how he approaches a wave, how he approaches a session, how much he surfs…it's super inspiring. Also Nat [Young], for his work ethic and his grind mode. Plus, he's my best friend on tour so we hang out a lot.
Since Andy won the world title in 2004, it's been all Kelly, Parko and Mick. Those guys will be in the conversation for as long as they're still on tour, but are we seeing a bit of a shift in power?
Yeah, totally. Gabriel has been the ratings leader pretty much this whole year. John, I think he's fourth. So now, you've got two guys that are under 23 in the top four. When I first came on tour, I was still star-struck by all my favorite surfers. It takes a while to adjust because you've got to believe you are going to smoke those guys when you come up against them in the quarters — not just be happy to surf against them. I think that's what Gabriel has done really well. He thinks everyone's there to watch him. You can just tell he's got so much confidence. He believes he's going to win the world title and that he should and that he's better than everyone. You can just tell by the way he walks in the room. And that's the thing; you have to feel that way.
Gabriel's stepdad came straight out and said, "He's not here to make friends. He's here to win the world title." Which is true. How's your relationship with Gabe?
He's gotten a lot better and everyone's noticed it. A couple of years ago, he was really hard to surf with just because he would get so many waves and be burning people, and it was kind of abrasive and overwhelming. But he's super cool now and takes his turn. He knows his spot in the lineup. He's rad, I have nothing against him. I actually love how focused he is and how patriotic he is. All of those Brazilians. They're sick inspiration for me. I'm trying to get the Americans together like them. One of them will lose first round and they'll still be at the event at the end, cheering each other on.
What are your thoughts on Medina winning the title this year?
It's just going to fire me up even more.

Description: Values at Work is an analysis of organizational dynamics with wide-ranging implications in an age of market globalization. It looks at the challenges businesses face to maintain people-oriented work systems while remaining successful in the larger economy. George Cheney revisits the famous Mondragón worker-owned-and-governed cooperatives in the Basque Country of Spain to examine how that collection of innovative and democratic businesses is responding to the broad trend of "marketization."The Mondragón cooperatives are changing in important ways as a direct result of both external pressures to be more competitive and the rise of consumerism, as well as through the modification of internal policies toward greater efficiency. One of the most remarkable aspects of the changes is that some of the same business slogans now heard around the globe are being adopted in this set of organizations renowned for its strongly held internal values, such as participatory democracy, solidarity, and equality. Instead of emphasizing the special or unique qualities of the Mondragón experience, this book demonstrates the case's relevance to trends in all sectors and across the industrialized world.

Deanburg, Tennessee
Deanburg is an unincorporated community in western Chester County, Tennessee and southwestern Madison County.[1] Located between Chickasaw State Park and Medon, Tennessee (roughly 35° 24' 39"N, 88° 48' 14"W), it lies around 440–560 ft. (135–170 m) above sea level. The average annual temperature is about 60 °F (16 °C), and the average annual precipitation is about 51 inches (130 cm).[2]
Deanburg lies in the drainage basin of the Forked Deer River, and was traditionally a farming community, growing row crops such as cotton and soybeans in the fertile local loam, with a few areas used for pasture and hay land, fallow fields or woodlots. Nearly all arable land in Deanburg has been cultivated for generations; in many areas the overlying loess has been removed by severe erosion.[3] It is now part of the Jackson, Tennessee metropolitan area, and many of its residents commute to Jackson or to jobs in other suburbs. It is home to two Baptist churches (Bethel and Deanburg) and a community center.

st: RE: Stata's update [was: Error: c(showbaselevels) undefined]
Wed, 16 Jun 2010 13:05:46 -0500
I appreciate Nick's perspective, but I wonder about network installations. At my Institution, we facilitate our site license to users two different ways. Our primary users install all software local to their machine and manage their updates by themselves. Our secondary users, however, run Stata from an applications server. The exe is loaded on the server and we have software that manages the number of concurrent users, per our license agreement with Stata. Those users, however, install the ado files local on their machine to speed up performance. So when a big update rolls out, we update the exe on the server manually so that all future initiations of Stata operate from the latest version, but it is up to the individual users to update their local copies of the ado files.
We got this idea from prior posts on the Statalist from campuses that operate network installations, so I know we're not alone in this configuration.
It does make me wonder about compatibility problems though. If a user doesn't update their ado files, will that cause problems when launching Stata on the server (the latest exe)?? Even though we recommend that users check for updates regularly, we don't force the issue, or even follow-up with them...

Subject: st: Stata's update [was: Error: c(showbaselevels) undefined]
We're in the midst of another round of people having problems with ado
and exe updates being out of sync.
Which raises again the question: why does Stata continue to distinguish
among ado, exe, and utility updates, and why does it allow users to
update each without updating the others (when available)? This seems
like a level of information and control that users don't need.
Why not have a single "update all" facility that does the following:
(1) download all available updates (exe, ado, utilities) to a temporary
(2) confirm that all did download
(3) automatically do an -update swap-, which swaps the exe if needed AND
(only if that worked) moves the ado and utility files from the temporary
area to the relevant update area.
I suppose this is a question for StataCorp, but I'm curious if anyone
sees compelling reasons for Stata NOT to act that way.
