World Soccer Winning Eleven 8 International
Review by tranmerefan
"A Fantastic Football/Soccer Sim"
Another year, another Pro Evolution Soccer game, this one being the 4th version on Konami's excellent sports sim series. With Pro Evolution Soccer 3 being a game I played for the entire year without every growing tired of it I was extremely hopeful that Pro Evolution Soccer 4 will prove to be better than it. Thankfully, I wasn't let down by Konami. They have proven that you can always improve your game even when most people believe it to be one of the best ever made. Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is not just updated stats (although they do have that too). The scoring system has been changed meaning a smoother shot and you see more realistic goals hitting the back of the net. Pro Evolution Soccer 4 I believe has taken the football (or soccer whichever you prefer) sim to the next level.
When you first start to play Pro Evolution Soccer 4 you do notice some of the new changes to the gameplay. The game pace is slightly slower when playing pass and move football yet the pace can suddenly quicken when you are on the counter attack just like in real football. This is a great addition because it enhances the game and allows you to play in the style of your favourite team if it's Brazil or an obscure team from your countries professional leagues like Tranmere Rovers. Other aspects to the gameplay, which is the best I've seen in a football/soccer game, are that for long throw ins your player takes a run up again just like what happens in modern day football. The free kicks have been improved, which each player having a different free kick type. Using a player such as David Beckham for your free kick will result in a large curve, but for the default master league players and those without a free kick skill it becomes more difficult to master the curl. The basics of the gameplay are the same as Pro Evolution Soccer 3 because that was a fantastic game and the improvements enhance the gameplay giving you a much better games.
Another change to Pro Evolution Soccer 4 is the way the Master League runs and that your players age. The master league is split into 4 divisions with you being able to choose what team you want and in what league. Like Pro Evolution Soccer 3 you end up in the second division and you have to work your way up. This is where the similarities end. There are WEFA Rankings meaning that players will only join your club when the ranking is high enough for their needs. You start at the bottom so it can be difficult creating your all star team. To me, this is a good thing as it prolongs the game life giving you extra worth for your money. Another major part is that players have a learning curve so that their stats increase/decrease depending on their age. This is a fantastic addition meaning you cannot have the same team for 6 seasons on the trot adding realism to the master league and giving you a harder challenge. Coupled with this the player's age as well so those above 35 are liable to retire at the end of the season. As well as this master league, you can play in the Italian, French, German, Spanish and the English league and the usual international tournaments.
The graphics have been polished giving extra realism to the players. Italian teams wear gloves just like Italian teams do during the winter and minute details on the players face have been improved that means you can instantly tell who is who, providing you knew what the looked like beforehand that is. The stadiums in the game look like their real life counterparts and you can't ask for anything more than that. While it may not be like FIFAs game Konami have worked hard on their graphic section of the game.
The sounds in this game, again like the earlier versions, are extreme. The crowd noises are terrific sounding just like hostile crowds that you can choose to cheer the home teams goals and boo the other ones etc. You can also hear flares going off the stadium which I believe are a worthy addition to the game. However, its let down by the Commentary team. There is still the same commentary team with the same mistakes. It is very annoying to hear them talking about the game needing a goal, when I'm 3-0 up inside half an hour. I'll admit I can't name anymore because I turned off the commentary like I always do to save me getting frustrated again at it. This needs to be sorted out next time to make the game better.
There is another con to the game. In 60Hz mode you will experience slowdown in the penalty areas. This can disrupt the game to those who play it in this mode. My TV doesn't support this so I choose 50Hz which only experiences it in the San Sire. My way round it was to never play in that stadium.
This game needs to be bought, especially if you are a football/soccer fan. This is the greatest soccer sim out in the market today, despite the niggles in the game and if you like the sport you'll love the game. It's a must for your collection. Buy it.

KAYSVILLE — A few changes to the city's zoning ordinance will be considered at a public hearing before the Planning Commission on Thursday, Nov. 8, beginning at 7 p.m. at city hall.
A proposal to delete the definition of boarding or lodging house is being considered, along with an amendment to the definition of family.
Wade Flint, zoning administrator for the city, said the terms of boarding or lodging house are not used elsewhere in the ordinance, so defining them is unnecessary.
He said the ordinance now allows families that include anyone related by blood, marriage or adoption to share a home. It also allows up to five unrelated people to share a home if, for example, they are sharing the cost of a home by paying rent. But if any two are related, no unrelated people can share the home.
The proposed change would allow family members to share a home, and permit one unrelated person for every 400 square feet of home, as long as there is sufficient off-street parking.
Councilman Jared Taylor said the commission is considering the change because there are more people with large homes interested in renting out basements as they become empty-nesters.
In some cases it may be a widow needing care, who might invite a married couple to share her home. In other cases it could be a couple housing LDS missionaries. Some may want to rent to newlywed couples or students.
"I'm still trying to gather the information to see if this is of value to the community," said Taylor. "We are open for comments to see if there is an additional need."
City hall is located at 23 E. Center.

I bought my W reg Daewo Nubira 3 years ago for £2000 as a second hand car with one previous careful owner after my Ford Escort was written off by a lorry!
I had recently just had another baby and needed a car that could fit 2 baby seats in as well as a growing 9 year old in the back seats and this car was just the ticket! The 2 car seats fitted perfectly and my older child still had plenty of room in the middle.
The boot was also a big factor in buying this car as it was massive, far bigger boot than any of my other cars had and was easily able to fit in a double pushchair in the back along with plenty of shopping!
I also found useful was the locking windows for the front and back doors, as my smaller children have got older and more inquisitive and press all buttons around them, I am able to lock the windows on the driver seat door so they cannot open them on their own. The drivers door also has controls to open all windows at the touch of a button. The drivers seat also moves higher and lower as well as backwards and forwards and you can get your perfect position as the steering wheel also moves up and down! There is also an arm rest in the middle rear seat area which can be pulled down when required.
The side mirrors are also electric and can be controlled on the drivers side door and they can also be heated, enabling quick defrosting in the winter months. The air con is also great in the summer months, keeping everyone cool inside.
There are also lots of little compartments to keep things in as well as 2 drinks holders which pop out from just under the cassette radio. The glove compartment is lockable and there is also a cigarette lighter and ashtray just in front of the gears. The boot and petrol cap can also be opened from the inside, which is also good as the petrol cap cannot be opened by petrol thieves that may be patrolling the area.
The car itself drives smoothly and has good accelaration. My old escort would have no pull if going uphill and would be overtaken by lorries all the time but the nubira doesn't stop pulling at all which I find very useful in some situations! The 6 gears are smooth and the steering is good too with no shaking of the wheel when doing excess of 70mph.
There are only 2 things that disappoint me about the Nubira - to me it doesn't seem very efficient in the fuel department, I know when I get to around 320 miles on the clock I have to refuel, although I have found that is when I have had the car full of passengers and sometimes with an empty (passenger wise) car I have managed to squeeze an extra 50 miles out of it when it's had it's fuel light on!
The other thing that disappoints me is there is no rear wiper and with the back end been quite high up, it's not very easy to see out of unless you use the rear window heater to dry the rain off while reversing.
All in all, this is the best car I have ever bought, it's just a shame I blew up the engine yesterday after running out of oil! RIP my lovely Nubira!
Due to old Nissan Blue Bird recently blowing up the engine a new car was needed and quickly. (Quickly because we were due to drive down to Cornwall in 4 days time). We spent an entire day searching car for courts and stumbled across the second hand Daewoo Nubira 2.0 CDX Saloon. 1st thoughts were that for a four-year-old car with only 40000 miles on the clock the car had been tampered with but the service history checked out and we quickly found that the car was too good to leave. While driving the car the corners are not noticeable for the passengers, The gear box is extremely smooth, The seats are extremely comfortable and most handy of all is the air conditioning. We have never had a car with air conditioning but since buying the Nubira we've certainly made up for it. The first day we had the car the temperature was 30 degrees Centigrade but the air conditioning kept the car a pleasant cool temperature inside. There are a few things however that are annoying / bad about the car. 1 - Can't find a Cigarette lighter. Although we're not smokers the cigarette lighters used constantly by the in car phone charger or CD player adapter. 2 - No CD radio :( 3 - Seats in the back of the car are so high that its hard to sleep. 4 - No rear windscreen wiper. This proved a rather big problem when it rained because visibility became very limited. However though: 1 - The car has a huge boot! 2 - It's economical - 400+ miles to the tank. 3 - Air conditioning (A must for anyone who hasn't got a car with AC) 4 - Good sound system. 5 - Feels safe to drive and is comfortable. I definitely recommend this car and if you can find it as cheep as us you've definitely found a deal.
THE NUBIRA ON TEST A relative newcomer to the market, the Korean built Daewoo Nubira competes favourably on price and specification with both its Japanese and European cousins. There are four cars in the range, the 1.6 S.E. and the 2.0 C.D.X. saloons, and the estate versions of the same. All of the Nubira's similarly-engined competitors are much more expensive. Its main opposition would be the Vectra, Mondeo, Primera, and Avensis, but it is significantly cheaper than them all. Daewoo cars were at one time based on the cast-off designs of General Motors, but that's not true any more. They are totally engineered and designed by the Korean manufacturer, and to very exacting standards indeed. So what about the drivability? It is a refined and comfortable car, with good performance and excellent fuel economy. The specifications are comprehensive. Air-conditioning, dual driver and passenger airbags, A.B.S. brakes, remote central locking, alarm, side impact bars, heated mirrors, and an engine immobiliser are all fitted as standard. For all of you that have yet to experience the joys of air-conditioning, you will be a convert the first time you use it to demist your car. It is far more effective than a heater alone, which leaves the vehicle feeling like the inside of a sauna. Your safety is well catered for, and if you are unlucky enough to be involved in a 'shunt' the dual airbags and side impact bars both give you that extra bit of added protection. The A.B.S. (anti-lock) braking system can help you avoid that most feared accident, the rear end collision. Lost no-claim bonuses and whiplash claims are a drivers' nightmare in our litigation conscious society. Leather upholstery and trim can be purchased as an extra on the C.D.X., as can an electric slide and tilt sunroof. The leather seats are an option well worth considering. Leather wipes clean, while cloth upholstery is reno
wned for its sponge like qualities and ability to retain unpleasant odours for days. If you are a sun-worshipper then the tilt and slide sunroof will cost you an extra £825. There are electric windows all round on the C.D.X., and on the front only on the S.E. version, while the estate has a rear integrated wash and wipe. It is a good looker, with metallic paint, colour coded bumpers and side protection strips, a distinctive chrome grill, and integrated headlights and front bumper. All again at no extra cost! All versions come with a high mounted rear stop lamp, and the C.D.X. also includes front fog lamps as standard, both again useful safety features. Alloy wheels are standard on both the saloon and estate models of the C.D.X. A R.D.S. radio/cassette stereo is fitted in all models, with the C.D.X. having a six speaker sound system. "Will ya give us some sounds driver?" You can really blow them away with the six-speaker system. It's like being in the front row of an 'Oasis' concert! Comfort levels are high, with the drivers' seat having lumbar support, and height and tilt adjustments, an extremely useful addition for drivers who spend long hours behind the wheel. Another useful extra is the cup-holder for your 'cuppa'. There is more than ample space in the rear seat for three adult passengers, and leg room is OK Boot space is superb, but for extra load capacity, the estate car is the one to go for. There is room in the tail for about 5 to 8 suitcases (depending on size) and the extra cost is only a meagre £500 compared to the saloon. The estate also has roof rails as standard, which gives even greater luggage capacity. The handling is crisp, the power steering light and responsive, the ride quiet and smooth, and the performance impressive. With the 1.6 litre you will go from 0 to 62 M.P.H. in eleven seconds, while in the 2.0 litre you will do the same in a zippy nin
e seconds. It maintains good levels of torque or pulling power at low engine speeds. The 5 speed manual gearbox is a delight, and for city driving a 4 speed automatic box is an optional extra on the C.D.X., but it is expensive at £2,200 . Fuel economy is quoted at a frugal 36.2 M.P.G. and 32.5 M.P.G. for the 1.6 and 2.0 litre respectively, The Daewoo Nubira has a lot going for it, especially its exceptional price and high specification levels. At just over £15,000 for either the saloon or the estate, it offers more for less, compared to most of its familiar opposition.
Yes... I admit it! I drive a daewoo. In fact I have driven daewoo ever since they started marketing in this country back in M reg times! Let's have a look at my Nubira which is now just 3 years old. It's the 2 litre version twin cam 16 valve and for a 4 door saloon about the same size as the Mondeo, it is faster, more comfortable and cheaper to run. A BMW or Merc it certainly is not but for performance motoring on a budget it is very hard to beat, especially considering that there are NO CHARGES FOR SERVICING FOR 3 YEARS AND THE WARRANTY INCLUDES ALL PARTS AND LABOUR APART FROM TYRES. These vehicles are delivered with a high end stereo, air conditioning, and electric sunroof as standard fit. There is loads of interior space and the boot is more than adequate to take all my medical equipment with me when visiting Patients (I'm a family Doctor). On the down side the customer service has deteriorated since launch. Daewoo do pick up your vehicle and drive it away to be serviced, leaving you a replacement car but this service is becoming more grudging. I've been happy with my 3 daewoo vehicles (I had 2 nexia's prior to this which gave me good service), but I am now looking at something even more economical to run, the Honda Insight. Plank

On the same cheery note, we were watching tv and a commercial came on about buying a car "drama free". A couple is sitting in the salesman's office getting ready to buy the car. See, no drama. Or, do you want the drama? In comes a lady pregnant and walks up to the husband and says:
"Scott, the baby is yours."
"What we have is so real."
"You should leave her."
Oh, yeah, hilarious.

I'm struggling for a title. I have a title but because it's also the title of an 80's pop song by Echo & the Bunnymen – and a quite unusual title – I won't be able to use it. I don't mind this (well, I mind it a bit) but the first Elementals book had a working title (right up to the point where it was finished in its third or so draft) until Dark Peak landed in my lap again (I'd already dismissed it once but by the time I'd re-worked and edited the book down, Dark Peak was exactly right) so I'm not so worried. I think titles come to you when you most need them.
But it makes it difficult to talk about the book without sounding like I'm dissociating from it or like I have no idea what it's about. Neither's true. I will say it's a tougher book to write than Dark Peak, partly because many of the characters are new and partly because I've got to be very careful I don't re-write history (but they're the kind of challenges I love!) but mainly it's been tougher because I've been trying out different writing methods. I tried a linear, chronological method where I wrote what came next – but I don't have that kind of mind. I tried mapping and structuring to know what my characters would do next – I found I stopped caring about what they did next when I came to the actual writing. I tried waiting until the story was finished before I started editing, but the story's not finished yet and my re-drafting gene was dying a death!
The fact is I write into the dark – for better or worse – and in episodic tranches that get collaged together and edited/re-drafted as the writing goes on. Now that I've admitted that to myself once more the book is coming on nicely. The word cloud I've added here is the first chapter scrunched up into pretty pictures and lovely words. I had fun doing it – both the writing and the word-clouding. It's apt because the main Elemental in this book isn't Stone, it's Cloud – and her companion is a girl called Cirrus. I like them both. I'm getting to know them pretty well, even though they still haven't given me a title. But they will. I'll let you know how we get on.

This is an interesting paradox I'd like to bring up today….
I had my friend Jane call me the other day and say she was so happy
to have cured her hemorrhoids using natural pills. I would have
recommended the H Miracle to her (had it failed) but I suppose her
treatment was so good, she did not need H Miracle.
But that's not the whole story….
She revealed it all to me later because I wanted to pick her brain
on how this type of remedy worked for her but never myself and countless
You see… Jane tried for over 3 weeks while on the treatment,
she later revealed…. it was not easy and she kept taking it and
the problem would keep coming back over at first.
A bit later into the story, she confesses something that is
shared with everyone… she did not habitually allow the healing
to take place. For example, if you place a healing cream on your
hemorrhoid and you go out and engage in anal sex, then you are in
big trouble.
That may be an extreme example, however little things can add up
such as applying an ointment one minute and then wiping too hard
with toilet paper the next bowel movement.
Seriously, it takes a small bit of discipline, yes, but once the
hemorrhoid is healed…. you can go back to your normal routines
but it's very important to make sure you get into the disciplined
while the curing process is taking effect.
For example, when I cured my hemorrhoids, I made sure there was one
week I did not engage in heavy weight lifting at all. This did wonders
for my situation.
It's not that bad, just make sure a few things are in line and
you'll be fine.


text: No - that's not Cowabunga, Happy Snapper . . . We (me/Happy Snapper/GMess) went for a poodlefake up Western Branch and Eastern Branch Roads, and went Manumbar Road / Elgin Vale Road / Kilcoy Murgon Road / Pei Road / Kinbombi Road / Kabunga Road, with the intention of going via Mount Mia and Shamrock Mine to Kilkivan via Black Snake Road. We found the entry to Kabunga Road is signposted No Through Road - we went in a couple of km past Glenholme Station but ran out of time to go further (and stay within the limits of our leave passes) as we'd spent too much time sipping coffee earlier in the day. Happy Snapper found the trip in his 4WD routes atlas, so we suspect the No Through Road sign is only to discourage cowboys and 2WDS. Can anyone confirm the road goes through, and if so comment on the going? (i.e. suited to smaller or bigger bikes e.g. "DRZ" or "DR" or "Super Tenere")

islamic dream interpretation
• Abdullah bin Omar, God be pleased with both of them, related that in his youth, he wished to see a true dream and to hear its interpretation from God's Prophet, upon whom be peace. At that time, God's Messenger (ﷺ) used to ask people if they saw any dream and he interpreted them accordingly. Abdullah once prayed: "Lord, if Thou reserves any good for me, then let me see a dream that will be interpreted by God's Messenger, upon whom be peace." One night, Abdullah saw a dream where two angels took him, and brought him before a third angel who addressed Abdullah saying: "You are a righteous man. Do not merely talk!" The angels then took him to visit hell-fire, which was folded up like a well. In it he saw some people he knew, but the angels pulled him away from them to the right. When Abdullah woke up, he told his dream to his sister HafJaa, the wife of God's Prophet, upon whom be peace. In turn, Hafsa, God be pleased with her, related the dream to God's Messenger (ﷺ) who commented: "Indeed,Abdullah is a righteous man. It will be good for him if he increases his prayers at night." Consequently, Abdullah was more regular about his (Suh/lr) night prayers. Read More...
Dream Interpreter
In islamic dream interpretation Some dream interpreters agree that dreams are seen by the soul and are understood by one's consciousness. Shaikh Abdul Ghani Nabulsi explains in his book Ta'atir-ul Anum that "the soul resides within one's heart, and the functions of the heart are dictated by one's brain. When one falls asleep, his soul becomes like an extended ray of light, or like a sun, where he can see what the angel of dreams reveals to him through the effulgent light of his Lord. When one's senses come to wakefulness, it is as though a cloud has come to cover the sunlight. When one wakes up, he may remember through his soul what the angel of dreams has showed him." Someone said: "Spiritual feelings are greater than one's physical awareness. For the soul represents the truth, and the senses can only recognize what is physically perceivable." For a dream interpreter, it is also necessary to know that the soil is different from one land to another, because each soil is watered by a different quality of water. That is why dream interpretation may vary from one land to another. As we explained earlier, dream interpretation requires a concise knowledge that must be based on the fundamentals of one's religion, inner spiritual values, and moral and cultural traditions. Dreams also are influenced by the atmospheric condition of the land and culture. For example, if one who lives in a hot country sees snow or hail in his dream, it means rising prices or drought. On the other hand, ifone lives in a cold country and sees snow, rain, and hail, it means a good harvest and prosperity. islamic dream interpretation Read More…..
Who sees the dream ? islamic dream interpretation
Who sees the dream, the soul or the self? People are divided in opinion concerning the subject of the soul (ral!) and the self tnafe), Some say that they are both the same thing (e.g., man and human being), while others hold a different view. The first group argues that the self (nafs) means blood. For example, the Arabs say: "Nafasat-il mar'a,"when a woman discharges blood during her menstrual period. Also when a woman gives birth they say: "Nafsa, " because of the blood discharge that accompanies the delivery of a newborn. They also argue that blood is the only thing that leaves the body of a deceased person. Thus, when referring to death, they used the term: "Siilat nafsuhu," meaning his blood was exuded or that he died. Also in the English language, one can find the term 'bloodless' to mean dead. In this sense, the term nafs is used in the Arabic language to mean life or blood. islamic dream interpretation Read More…..
Strength of One's Dreams
islamic dream interpretation The meaning of a dream is stronger when seen at dawn, or during an afternoon nap, or when fruits are ripening on their trees, or at the time of harvest, or when one's star is in the rising position, or at a time when one is intending to sign a business contract, or if one is thinking of getting married, or at the term of a decade, etcetera. Seeing a dream during a daylight nap is also stronger than seeing it at night. On the other hand, the meaning of a dream becomes weaker and less plausible when seen during the wintertime. The dream of a righteous ruler or governor is considered to be an inspiration from God Almighty. The dreams of community leaders depend on their beliefs. The dreams of servants come true for their employers. Women's dreams may materialize faster than those of men. Sinners' dreams are a proof against them on the day of judgement, unless they repent before their death. The dreams of rich people are stronger than those of poor people. The dreams of rich people materialize faster than those of poor people. The dreams of poor people are slower when they connote benefits and faster when they connote adversities. Because of their innocence, the dreams of little children are truer than those of teenagers. This is because older children may be busy in their mischief and fulfilling their newly discovered desires. The dream of a drunk person has no ground. Shaikh Al-Karamani explains that "the dream of a scholar is truer than that of an ignorant person, the dream of a chaste person is truer than that of an unchaste person, the dream of a good person is truer than that of a bad person, and that the dream of an elderly person is truer than that of a younger person."

Texas karma helps UConn Huskies become top dogs at record-breaking Final Four
ARLINGTON — Either way, Monday night was going to produce an unlikely NCAA basketball champion, so why not the longer-shot of the two finalists, Connecticut?
The Huskies jumped to a 15-point first-half lead, withstood a rally from freshmen-laden Kentucky and pulled out a 60-54 victory in front of a championship-game record crowd of 79,238. The previous record crowd for a title game was 74,236, set last year at Atlanta's Georgia Dome.
The result denied Kentucky (29-11) its ninth national championship and gave UConn (31-8) its fourth title — and third clinched in the state of Texas. It is UConn's first championship under Oak Cliff-born, second-year coach Kevin Ollie, 41.
"It feels great — four national championships," Ollie said after a postgame celebration punctuated with streamers and confetti coming down. "To win this championship with these student-athletes is amazing. They've been amazing and resilient all year."
Ollie gave particular praise and thanks to the juniors and seniors who remained with the program last season, even though UConn was banned from the tournament for failure to make the minimum-allowed Academic Progress Rate scores in 2012, under former coach Jim Calhoun.
One of the seniors is point guard Shabazz Napier, who was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four after scoring 22 points and pulling down six rebounds in the title game.
For Kentucky and freshman forward Julius Randle, a Plano Prestonwood Christian product, it was a tough finish after a magical NCAA Tournament run in which its five wins came by a combined 18 points.
Randle finished with just 10 points and six rebounds in what might be his final college game, should he decide to enter June's NBA draft, where early projections have him as a top five pick.
Randle attempted only seven shots from the field, including one during the first 18:56.
"My shots didn't matter," Randle said. "When I was penetrating, guys were open on the wing and it's my job to get them shots if they [opponents] suck in. I don't care about no shots."
Kentucky coach John Calipari said Randle appeared to be tired during the first half, "Because he's a freshman and he was anxious."
Mostly, Calipari said the game turned on Kentucky's poor start, 13-of-24 free-throw shooting and the fact that UConn got the majority of the loose balls.
"But I have to give Connecticut credit now because the way they were aggressively picking up the ball," Calipari said. "We told our guys, 'If you don't play with energy, they [the Huskies] are going to."
UConn won its first nine games of the season and rose to No. 9 in the country, but was inconsistent the rest of the regular season, losing American Athletic Conference games to Louisville and two to SMU.
According to Las Vegas-based betting service Bovada, UConn entered the tournament with 66-1 odds of winning the title.
Perhaps it was Texas karma. UConn's 2004 title was won in San Antonio and its 2011 championship was won in Houston.
Combined with the all-time college-basketball-record crowd of 79,444 at Saturday's semifinal games, the total 2014 Final Four attendance of 158,682 smashed the previous Final Four record of 149,676 set last year.
The crowd included a who's who of entertainers, athletes and politicians, especially in the suite of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. In one row of the suite sat Jones and Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. In the row below the presidents sat Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and his wife Candice.
The matchup was one of extreme contrasts. Kentucky joined the 1992 Michigan team of Fab Five fame as the only schools to start five freshmen in a championship game.
UConn started one sophomore, two juniors and two seniors, but it was Kentucky that had the more acclaimed talent on the floor. The Wildcats roster boasted seven McDonald's All-Americans, six of them freshmen, while the Huskies brought zero McDonald's All-Americans.
The Wildcats were bidding for their ninth national title and second in three years under Calipari. But Kentucky showed its youth early, missing 10 of its first 13 shot attempts and falling behind by as much as 30-15. It marked the fifth straight game in the tournament in which the Wildcats trailed by nine or more points.
The Wildcats closed within 35-34 in the opening seconds of the second half, and within 48-47 with 8:13 left and 50-49 with 6:32 left, but never took a lead in the game.
Before the game, Kentucky freshman Aaron Harrison discussed the difficulty of so much young talent attempting to gel within one season. The Wildcats struggled late in the season before rallying in the tournament.
"We were all the stars of high school and shot the ball 25 times, so we just had to understand how to be able to play for each other," Harrison said. "That made us a great team. We just didn't understand how to lose ourselves in the team, at first."
Randle got the loudest ovation of either team's starters, with cheers erupting as soon as announcer Jim Nantz said, "From Dallas, Texas ..."
Randle, though, struggled to assert himself. He attempted only one field (a miss) during the game's first 18-plus minutes, and his only points during that span came on a pair of free throws.
Calipari pulled Randle from the game three times in the first nine minutes, at one point peering into the freshman's eyes and speaking animatedly. When Randle re-entered the game with 5:59 left in the half and Kentucky trailing 30-15, he looked across the court toward his mother, Carolyn, and godfather, Jeff Webster, appearing to make eye contact.
Less than a minute later, Randle leaped to block a shot by UConn 6-10 forward Phillip Nolan at the rim, helping to trigger a 16-5 Wildcat run to end the half.
Now, North Texas and AT&T Stadium are on the clock for the college sports world's next mega-event.
The upcoming college football season will usher in the first four-team playoff system, which replaces the Bowl Championship Series. After the semifinal games at the Rose and Sugar Bowls, the first College Football Championship Game will be played at AT&T Stadium on Jan. 12, 2015.
For those who are counting, that is eight months and four days from now.

Nearly half of the world's governments participate in abuses of religious freedom, either directly or by standing by, according to U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom Suzan Johnson Cook, who spoke this week at the release of the State Department's annual report documenting abuses of religious freedom around the world.
It's a startling figure, made even more vivid by the uncharacteristically poetic language of the report's introduction:
"To think, believe, or doubt. To speak or pray; to gather or stand apart. Such are the movements of the mind and heart, infinitives that take us beyond the finite. Freedom of religion, like all freedoms of thought and expression, are inherent."
Unsurprisingly, one of the central concerns identified in this year's report is the fate of religious minorities in political and demographic transitions, such as those underway in the Arab world.
Religious freedom in many of these countries, including Egypt, is "quite tenuous," as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton noted in her remarks. The report highlights an October 2011 incident in which security forces attacked Christian demonstrators in Cairo, killing 25 and injuring 350. Government officials have not been held accountable. Though some positive measures have been taken by the interim government, and President Mohammed Morsi has gone out of his way to allay fears of Islamist rule, there is still evidence Coptic Christians are fleeing the country.
Egypt and other countries struggling to remake their governments and societies must be reminded that religious freedom is not a secondary concern, but rather that respect for religious conscience leads directly to economic and social growth. Undermining religious freedom only serves to undermine the other freedoms reformers have begun to achieve.
As the report puts it, "Countries whose constitution, laws, policies and practices protect religious freedom and human rights will be the most vibrant and stable."
But political transitions aren't the only situations that threaten religious freedom; demographic transitions can also lead to fear and resentment as populations change and religious minorities grow. The report documents growing anti-Semitic and anti-Islamic incidents and policies in Europe, and it also condemns laws like one passed in Hungary that reduced the number of recognized religious groups from more than 300 to fewer than 32.
It is especially concerning when governments fail to differentiate between peaceful religious practice and terrorist activities, such as in southern Russia, or when terrorist attacks continue to threaten the religious freedom of all citizens in countries like Nigeria and Iraq.
The report does offer some hope, citing examples of progress made in various countries around the world and efforts by the United States to promote religious freedom. And clearly, tracking abuses is only the beginning. Clinton rightly warned Egypt, for example, that the U.S. will be watching for actions, not just words.
Clinton unequivocally supported religious liberty abroad and soberly described the world as "sliding backwards." These strong statements on religious freedom coming from the State Department this week encourage us as we yearn for continued progress on this fundamental issue.
We applaud our nation's policy focus on religious liberty and, even more importantly, the underlying philosophy that recognizes the inherent right for people of all creeds to live the religious dictates of their own conscience.
"People awaken, work, suffer, celebrate, raise children and mourn, unable to follow the dictates of their faith or conscience," the report eloquently states. "With these reports, we bear witness and speak out."

WASHINGTON — Conceding "this will be difficult," President Barack Obama urged a reluctant Congress on Wednesday to require background checks for all gun sales and ban both military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines in an emotion-laden plea to curb gun violence in America.
The president's sweeping $500 million plan, coming one month after the school massacre in Connecticut, marks the most comprehensive effort to tighten gun laws in nearly two decades.
But his proposals, most of which are opposed by the National Rifle Association, face a doubtful future in a divided Congress where Republicans control the House.
Seeking to circumvent at least some opposition, Obama signed 23 executive actions on Wednesday, including orders to make more federal data available for
background checks and end a freeze on government research on gun violence.
But he acknowledged that the steps he took on his own would have less impact than the broad measures requiring approval from Capitol Hill.
"To make a real and lasting difference, Congress, too, must act," Obama said, speaking at a White House ceremony with school children and their parents. "And Congress must act soon."
The president's announcements capped a swift and wide-ranging effort, led by Vice President Joe Biden, to respond to the deaths of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Local school districts were reviewing their safety protocols following the shooting.
"The district is supportive of initiatives that will enhance safety and security of our students, staff and community," said Gail Pinsker, spokeswoman for the William S. Hart Union High School District, when asked to comment on the presidential proposal.
Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station Capt. Paul Becker declined to comment, calling the issue a political one.
Obama's gun control proposals set him up for a tough political fight with Congress as he starts his second term, when he'll need Republican support to meet three looming fiscal deadlines and pass comprehensive immigration reform.
The president's proposals include:
a $150 million request to Congress that would allow schools to hire 1,000 new police officers, counselors and psychologists.
legislative and executive action to increase mental health services, including boosting funding for training aimed at getting young people into treatment more quickly.
The administration is calling on Congress to provide $10 million for expanded research. Obama also wants lawmakers to ban armor-piercing ammunition, except for use by the military and law enforcement.
He's also asking for stiffer penalties for gun trafficking, to provide $14 million to help train police officers and others to respond to shootings, and to approve his nominee to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
One of the president's executive actions on Wednesday was to nominate B. Todd Jones to head the ATF, which has been without a permanent director since 2006. Jones, currently the U.S. attorney for Minnesota, has served as the bureau's acting director since 2011.
Other steps Obama took through his presidential powers include:
Ordering tougher penalties for people who lie on background checks.
Requiring federal law enforcement to trace guns recovered in criminal investigations.
Ordering a review of safety standards for gun locks and gun safes.

Didn't know where to post, so please move if necessary.
DD was born at 35 weeks and was diagnosed with gross motor delays. She gets OT/PT 3 days a week. She has been hospitalized for a week due to RSV. She has had no previous hospitalizations. While in the hospital she was on bipap (for 3 days) and had a central line which made holding her very difficult. We held her as much as the doctors/nurses allowed, but it was drastically less than she's normally held. She was in respiratory distress, so essentially she's been laying down or being held for the past week. She has not had much choice about the uncomfortable/painful things that have been happening to her body.
Before this illness she had just mastered standing and could take 2-3 steps. She had about 10 words. She had a bright and bubbly personality.
We probably won't be released for 3-4 more days. I know she is still recovering, but it seems like her little personality has changed. She also has no interest in doing the gross motor taks that she had just mastered.
Since she's off bipap now my partner and I spent most of the day holding her. My plan is to wear her constantly and give her as many choices about her body as make sense.
But my question is, what should I expect when we get back home?
beth DW DD Nov. 2009 and due Feb. 2013
it just takes a bit to adjust back to home life. The hospital is traumatizing but they seem to get over it a lot faster than the parents do. My kid has been in the hospital a lot and he's done okay with it all. We just got out on Tuesday and by Tuesday night it was like we'd never been in. So they do bounce back but sometimes it can take a while. You also have to take into account that she probably feels like poop right now and that's probably contributing a lot to it. Just give her some time and try to make things as normal as possible.
My DD has had a number of hospital stays (she is almost 5 now) We have a motto, two steps forward one back. This is acutly plain to see when she has a seriose illness (RSV counts BTDT bought the shirt). We spent 2 weeks in after she picked up an infection when she had a cleft palate repair done. We lost 6 months worth of ground (she was almost 3 at the time).
I would certainly have an OT sent up to see your daughter - they will help you and her with sensory stuff that commonly happens with the hospital stays. As soon as we are admitted I make sure that my DD's OT and SPL know that we are in and they try and come to see her (there offices are at the hospital so that makes it handy).
Best of luck and she will pick the stuff up again, it will just take a little time. My DD was a 35 weeker as well - we had 3 rounds of RSV buy the time she was 18 months.
thanks, momtolaexsarah. hazel was released after about a week in the PICU. her OT and PT came to visit us the day after she got released. she was on bipap for half of her stay, so pointing and grunting was her means of communication. her verbal skills definitely took a hit. she uses words, but when she gets upset it's back to the grunt/whine/point. she also needs a lot more, as far as touch and attention. but honestly, i'm so glad to have her home i'd probably be wearing her anyway. :)
my main goal is just to make sure she doesn't get sick in the next few weeks and we'll take it from there.
beth DW DD Nov. 2009 and due Feb. 2013
We've had lots of hospitalizations (like 20). Usually my guys are just happy to be home so they are cuddly and just tired. They spend a lot of time catching up on sleep. Hospitals are terrible for sleep! I've actually never seen them regress in their skills AFTER they get over their sleep deprivation.

CEBU - Capitol officials have no right or the power to dictate upon Cebu City what to do with the South Road Properties SRP.
Cebu City Mayor on-leave Tomas Osmeña, who is in the United States to seek treatment of his urinary bladder cancer, said this yesterday.
Osmeña issued the statement after Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia's brother, Cebu 3rd District Rep. Pablo John Garcia, described the ongoing negotiation between the city officials and Filinvest Land Incorporated for the purchase of property at the SRP as illegal.
The congressman said that the ongoing talks could be disadvantageous to the city because the proposal of FLI for the outright purchase of 10 hectares of the SRP should be done through a competitive public bidding, and not just a mere Swiss challenge.
But Osmeña said the sale of the 10 hectares and FLI's proposal to enter into a joint venture agreement with the city for another 40 hectares follows the policy set forth by the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA).
"The 50 hectares is one project that is indivisible and will follow a public tender process formulated by NEDA.
If the province wants to challenge it, let them stand in line with the others, if they qualify," Osmeña said.
But according to the mayor, the city will not make adjustments just to give advantage to the province, saying "We are not going to adjust to them just like an oil company that wants to buy a portion for a gas station."
"The province cannot direct us on what to do. We should remind them that Cebu City is not reigned by the Queen of Darkness," Osmeña said in a text message.
However, Osmeña also believed that the provincial officials are not really serious in their intention to buy lots at the SRP for the reason that they did not include funds for such expense in the 2009 annual budget that was passed by the Provincial Board last week.
He said that he believes that many of the PB members are not in favor of buying the SRP lots and develop it, which means abandoning the implementation of projects for the province that for sure would surely irk the mayors.
"You cannot pursue without money. That's full of hot air. They should budget it. Abandoning their towns and mayors would mean the entire Provincial Board would lose the next elections, Osmeña said.
Capitol officials said, in order for the bidding to be fair to all interested parties, the city officials should conduct a separate bidding of the outright purchase of the 10-hectare lot from the bidding on the joint venture to develop 40 hectares.
Filinvest Land Incorporated's unsolicited proposal is to buy 10 hectares for P2 billion and to give the city a 10 per cent share of the gross income for the 40 hectares that will be subject to a joint venture agreement. – /NLQ (THE FREEMAN)

CAPE TOWN (miningweekly.com) – A total of 13.5-million people were dependent on mining-generated jobs in South Africa – some 25% of the population – and the money the mining industry spent overwhelmingly benefited the country, outgoing Anglo American CEO Cynthia Carroll said on Tuesday.
Carroll told the Investing in African Mining Indaba that since 1999, Anglo American alone had invested R180-billion in South Africa and that the much-criticised Anglo American Platinum (Amplats), once restructured, would be investing another R100-billion on its own.
"Business is a partner, not a pariah," Carroll said while heaping acknowledgement on Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu with the same adulation as Shabangu had earlier heaped upon her.
Being at the heart of the South African economy, mining had a critical role to play, Carroll said, in supporting the objectives of South Africa's National Development Plan in relation to jobs, education, health, infrastructure and the environment.
She committed Anglo American to a litany of initiatives, including the use of local procurement to support South African businesses, pointing out that a 1% increase in local procurement would be equivalent in amount to a doubling in community social investment.
Globally, the mining sector had been under severe economic pressure, and South Africa had suffered industrial strife and human tragedy.
"We're at a pivotal moment," Carroll said, adding that mining had a vital role to play in helping South Africa to tackle the challenges of poverty, unemployment and inequality in that it directly contributed 9.2% of South Africa's gross domestic product (GDP) and helped to generate a total of 18.7% of GDP.
Mining directly employed more than 500 000 people and was indirectly responsible for a further 840 000 jobs, which, through the dependency ratio sustained 13.5-million people or a quarter of the total population of the country.
In 2011, out of a total South African mining industry expenditure of R437-billion, no less than 89% was spent in South Africa itself and an estimated $2.5-trillion worth of mineral resources remained for exploitation.
At the same time, in the modern world, no country was an economic island and like any other nation, South Africa would only succeed if it fostered an environment that was conducive to business and attractive to international investors.
Creating that environment started with the need for stable labour relations and the maintenance of law and order along with regulatory stability.
The boards of Anglo American and Amplats were totally committed to ensuring a sustainable platinum business for the future and implementing what she believed to be the most comprehensive and imaginative social plan that would create at least as many jobs as the 14 000 that may be affected by Amplats' restructuring.
"We're totally serious in our intent to create jobs. What's more, we know how to do it," said Carroll in reference to Anglo American's active enterprise-development initiative known as Zimele.
"We will provide high quality training," she promised.
Through initiatives focused on housing, infrastructure and the creation of small businesses, Amplats would bring benefit both to Rustenburg and to the labour sending areas.
Carroll will soon be handing the baton to Anglo American CEO designate, Mark Cutifani, currently still CEO of AngloGold Ashanti.

Coming June 9, 2016, Here & Now listeners and visitors will experience our stories and journalism online in a whole new way.
Pat McCarty became a junior member of Lance Armstrong's U.S. Postal Service Pro Cycling Team at the height of what could be called cycling's doping era.
But unlike Armstrong, McCarty says he refused to use performance-enhancing drugs. He told Here & Now that he was never pressured to dope, but it was common, and looking back on his career he's glad he never did.
"I have a clear conscience and I get to ride my bike," McCarty said, while Armstrong – who's been banned for life from cycling – "doesn't."
Journalist and former professional cyclist Ian Dille wrote about McCarty in the December 2012 issue of Texas Monthly: "An era of cyclists played dirty, but buried in the scandal is a lost generation of American pros who stayed clean during a period rife with cheaters. In fact, no top American cyclist who was born after 1980 has ever received a doping sanction. These athletes played by the rules, but they had their careers stunted by a pharmacological glass ceiling. One of them was my childhood friend Pat McCarty."
The Dallas Morning News has named Lance Armstrong a finalist for "Texan of the Year," which the newspaper explains "is a distinction we bestow for impact, be it for better or for worse." The winner will be announced Dec. 30.

Police: Man on stolen motorcycle leads cops on chase
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. -- Roseburg police say a man on a stolen motorcycle led them on a high speed chase from Roseburg to Oakland early Tuesday morning.
Police say they were called to the Diamond Lake Chevron at around 4:00 am, for a report of a man who was acting disorderly. While the officers were headed there, witnesses say the man, later identified as John Richard Wilkerson, 37, of Roseburg, took off on a 2006 Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Police say they found him riding the motorcycle in the 1900 block of Douglas Avenue. When an officer attempted a traffic stop, they say Wilkerson sped off.
Police chased the man onto Interstate 5 northbound from the Harvard on-ramp. Officers say Wilkerson led them on a pursuit into Oakland and back south into Sutherlin.
Police say Wilkerson rode back on to I-5, this time heading northbound in the southbound lanes. Police say they terminated the pursuit at that point.
Authorities say officers saw Wilkerson stop at the top of a hill north of Sutherlin and took off on foot. Sheriff's deputies say they found him and took him into custody.
Wilkerson was charged by police with attempting to elude, reckless driving and unlawful use of a motor vehicle. Officers say the man caused damage to a patrol car's backseat and was additionally charged with criminal mischief.
Wilkerson was lodged in the Douglas County Jail.

Went to the mall with a mate to check out TVs, when we came back to the car we found this. Looks like it has been sitting there for quite some time. Parking is 1 € and hour, 10 per day, so why did it sit there for so long, and why hasn't it been towed? Is there crime involved? Maybe even a dead hooker in the trunk? Who knows?
On a related note, while checking out TVs, I realized that I can't get anything bigger than 32 inches with my current furniture. But I'm going to move in a year, and then I can have any size I want. Dilemma!!!!

Starpharma Holdings Ltd's Dendrimer a Potential Viral Conjunctivitis Treatment
Published: May 13, 2013
Melbourne, Australia; Monday 13 May 2013 – Starpharma Holdings Ltd (ASX:SPL; OTCQX:SPHRY) today announced that the Company's clinical-stage dendrimer SPL7013 has shown potent antiviral effect against adenovirus, the agent responsible for the majority of viral conjunctivitis cases. Based on feedback from potential partners and clinicians this opportunity is being advanced in parallel with further commercial discussions.
Adenovirus is the most common cause of viral conjunctivitis, a condition for which there is no known cure. Based on the results of various pre-clinical studies already undertaken by Starpharma, the company believes SPL7013 (the active in VivaGel®) has the potential to be a first-in-class anti-viral agent for viral conjunctivitis.
"The results of our studies assessing SPL7013 against adenovirus are very positive and further broaden the potential commercial applications of this dendrimer which also has potent activity against the HIV, HPV and Herpes (HSV) viruses," said Starpharma chief executive officer Dr Jackie Fairley.
"Furthermore, feedback from potential partners and clinicians on this opportunity has been very encouraging. Viral conjunctivitis can be a serious and painful condition, and today clinicians are without antiviral therapeutic options."
SPL7013 has been found to be effective across a range of relevant adenovirus strains, at levels of efficacy that support the development of a therapeutic product targeting viral conjunctivitis. Starpharma has undertaken some initial formulation work for this product, as well as other activities to support the next round of interactions with potential commercial partners. The bacterial conjunctivitis market is estimated to be in excess of a billion dollars annually. However there is currently no antiviral therapy available for viral conjunctivitis. It has been estimated that a global market of US$700m exists for effective viral conjunctivitis treatments.1
"The attractiveness of this product opportunity is significantly enhanced by the advanced stage of development of SPL7013 as VivaGel® for other indications," Dr Fairley added. "We have already compiled a very extensive NDA data package around the pharmacology, toxicology and manufacture of VivaGel® which would minimise incremental costs, expedite the development path for this product and increase its appeal to commercial partners."
Adenovirus conjunctivitis is highly contagious, painful, and can lead to serious complications including damage to vision. It is responsible for a significant proportion of all infectious conjunctivitis2.
Starpharma also continues to advance VivaGel® for bacterial vaginosis applications, following positive Phase 2 results last month. Planning is now underway for the Phase 3 clinical trials for the prevention of recurrence indication of VivaGel® and the opportunity for symptomatic relief continues to be actively explored. The patented antimicrobial dendrimer has also been licensed to Ansell and Okamoto Industries as a condom coating and is currently under regulatory review in this product format.
