Media General Inc. (NYSE:MEG) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2010-09-26.
Media General Inc. has a market cap of $129.2 million; its shares were traded at around $5.16 with and P/S ratio of 0.2. MEG is in the portfolios of Francis Chou of Chou Associates Management Inc., Mario Gabelli of GAMCO Investors, Chuck Royce of Royce& Associates.
Highlight of Business Operations:The Company recorded a net loss of $10.7 million ($0.48 per share) and $31.7 million ($1.42 per share) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010, respectively, compared to a net loss of $62.5 million and $63.1 million in the equivalent 2009 periods. The 2009 third quarter and nine-month period included an impairment charge and discontinued operations embedded within its results. The Company recorded an after-tax non-cash impairment charge of $64.8 million in the third quarter of 2009. See Note 7 of this Form 10-Q for a complete discussion regarding this impairment charge. In the second quarter of 2009, the Company completed the divestiture of a held-for-sale station, WCWJ in Jacksonville, Florida; in the third quarter of 2009, the Company also sold a small business magazine located in the Virginia/Tennessee Market. The Company recognized after-tax gains of $5.1 million in the first nine months of 2009 related to these divestitures. Their results were reported as discontinued operations and, excluding the above-mentioned gain, had limited impact on the Companys results in 2009. See Note 4 of this Form 10-Q for additional details regarding prior-year discontinued operations.
In the third quarter of 2010, the Company had a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $5.4 million as compared to a loss of $77.1 million in the comparable quarter of 2009; excluding the $84.2 million pretax impairment charge in 2009, income from continuing operations before income taxes was $7.2 million in the third quarter. This quarter-over-quarter decline was accounted for by higher interest expense and increased operating costs. Interest costs rose 62%, reflecting the new financing structure put into place in February 2010; see the Liquidity section of this Form 10-Q for a further discussion. Despite a 3% increase in revenues, segment operating income decreased 4% in the third quarter from the similar prior-year quarter. Segment operating costs were up 4% due primarily to higher employee compensation costs as the third quarter of 2009 reflected 4 days of furlough and the third quarter of 2010 included the expense associated with the reimbursement to employees of 2 days furlough time (which was paid to the employees early in the fourth quarter). Corporate expense was up $3.1 million primarily because 2009 included a $2 million gain resulting from the final freeze on a retirement plan and the impact of employee furlough days. Additionally, total operating costs in 2009 were favorably impacted by a $1.9 million gain associated with an insurance recovery and substantially higher gains on fixed assets sales. Income taxes of $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2010, as compared to an income tax benefit of $16.7 million in the equivalent quarter of 2009, were the result of several matters, most notably a non-cash naked credit, all of which are described in the Income Taxes section of this Form 10-Q.
The Company recorded a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $16.7 million in the first nine months of 2010, as compared to $96 million loss in the equivalent prior-year period; excluding the $84.2 million pretax impairment charge in 2009, loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $11.8 million in the first nine months of 2009. The largest factor contributing to the year-over-year increased loss was a 70% rise in interest costs for reasons similar to those detailed above in the third quarter discussion. Corporate expense was up $3.6 million due to the combined impact of the furlough program and the inclusion in 2009 of a $2 million gain from the final freeze on a retirement plan. Additionally, there were several singular 2009 gains similar to those discussed in the preceding paragraph. Offsetting these items were considerable expense savings in the areas of compensation and newsprint costs, combined with other successful cost management efforts that yielded a 4% reduction in segment operating expense. Income taxes of $14.9 million in the first nine months of 2010, as compared to an income tax benefit of $27.6 million in the equivalent period of 2009, were primarily the result of the non-cash naked credit issue and more fully described in the Income Taxes section of this Form 10-Q.
Interest expense increased $6.5 million and $22.2 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 from the prior-year equivalent periods as a direct result of the Companys new financing structure that was completed in February 2010. Approximately one-quarter of the year-over-year increase in interest expense was attributable to debt issuance costs totaling $5.5 million that were immediately expensed upon entering into the financing structure. A $55 million decline in average debt levels in the third quarter of 2010 as compared to 2009 only partially mitigated a 430 basis point increase in the average interest rate. A $59 million decline in average debt levels in the first nine months of 2010 as compared to 2009, minimally offset a 370 basis point increase in the average interest rate (excluding the impact of debt issuance costs immediately expensed). See the Liquidity section of this Form 10-Q for a more detailed discussion of the new financing structure.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $5.3 million and $14.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 as compared to an income tax benefit of $16.7 million and $27.6 million for the same periods in 2009. The Companys tax provision for both the current and prior-year periods had an unusual relationship to the pretax loss from continuing operations primarily due to the existence of a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance at the beginning of both periods. This circumstance generally results in a zero net tax provision since the income tax expense or benefit that would otherwise be recognized is offset by the change to the valuation allowance. The tax expense recorded in the third quarter of 2010 reflects the accrual of an additional $7.5 million ($22.5 million for the first nine months of 2010) valuation allowance in connection with the tax amortization of the Companys indefinite-lived intangible assets that is not available to offset existing deferred tax assets (termed a naked credit); these accruals were partially offset by a $1.5 million ($2.9 million in the year to date) tax refund related to the Companys 2009 net operating loss (NOL) carryback claim, as well as a $.7 million ($3.9 million in the year to date) tax benefit related to the intraperiod allocation to items in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). The year-to-date tax expense was further benefited by a favorable adjustment to the reserve for uncertain tax positions. Last years $16.7 million and $27.6 million benefit related primarily to the non-cash impairment charge and also included $3.6 million in the year-to-date from a favorable determination concerning a state tax issue. The Company expects the remaining non-cash naked credit of approximately $7.5 million to affect income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2010; other tax adjustments and intraperiod tax allocations that are difficult to forecast may also affect the fourth quarter of the year. A full discussion of the naked credit issue is discussed in Note 3 of Item 8 of the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2009.
Net cash generated from operating activities grew to $54.9 million in the current period from $9.4 million in the first nine months of 2009. The Company received a tax refund in April of approximately $26 million, the majority of which was used to reduce debt. Higher cash flow generation by the operating segments was another significant contributor. During 2010, the Company made retirement plan contributions of $20 million, paid debt issuance costs of $12 million, made capital expenditures of $15.6 million and reduced debt by $39 million.

The time we have to care for one another, especially for our children and our elderly, is more precious to us than anything else in the world. Yet we have more experience accounting for money than we do for time. In this volume, leading experts in analysis of time use from across the globe explore the interface between time use and family policy. The contributors:
* show how social institutions limit the choices that individuals can make about how to divide their time between paid and unpaid work
* challenge conventional surveys that offer simplistic measures of time spent in childcare or elder care
* summarize empirical evidence concerning trends in time devoted to the care of family members
* debate ways of assigning a monetary value to this time.
This informative and enlightening book is well researched, well thought through and well written. An important read for students of feminist economics, sociology and gender studies, the contributors here argue that time is not money, in fact time is more important than money.

Okay, well, freaking out might be an exaggeration, but not by much. I am making a memory quilt for the son of a friend. His dad was killed in an accident in July. I'm making the quilt out of his dad's shirts. I have the shirts. I have the pattern. I've tested the blocks. I bought backing fabric.
Now I need to get going if I want to have the quilt done in time for his birthday in March, but the box of fabrics, templates, pattern, etc is sitting there and I am procrastinating. I've cut into a few of the shirts, and made a grand total of three blocks - two pieced, one plain, of the 108 blocks that I'll need. I get very anxious because I'm afraid I'm going to mess it up and make something that will be painful to the kid and his mom instead of comforting.
I want to do this quilt. I volunteered to do this quilt. I love the idea of this quilt, but I am having a hard time just doing the cutting.
I'm not sure what I'm asking for here. I just really need to get it out, I guess.

The Old Age Pensions in Bulgaria
The paper presents an analytical overview and systematizes the changes in the Bulgarian old-age pension system in the period 1990-2004 on the basis on their "depth" as the full transformation of the model is the watershed. Three change periods are designated and evaluated from the point of the view of their nature and scope. The paper then assesses whether and how far some main objectives of the pension reform have been achieved by examining some parameters of the reformed pension model such as pension level, coverage of insured persons, income replacement rate, provision of more adequate link between insurance contribution and pension rights, financial standing of the Pension Fund, etc. Lessons from the Bulgarian practice and major challenges ahead of the pension system development are outlined.

In the process of brainstorming for a new line of homemade skincare products that I'm planning to make and sell on Etsy (stay tuned!) I've been experimenting with making homemade herbal infused oils. Herbal infused oils are, as the name suggests, oils that have been steeped with herbs for a period of time until the oil takes on some of the properties of that herb. Herbal infused oils make a wonderful addition to homemade salves, ointments, lotions, and other body care products. They can also be incorporated into massage oils, homemade soaps, or added to a hot bath.
Herbs with high levels of volatile oils (i.e. lavender, rosemary, peppermint, chamomile, pine, etc.) OR high level of fat-soluble components (i.e. calendula, mullein, comfrey, plantain, etc.) lend themselves well to making herbal infused oils.
Since I've been wanting to incorporate calendula into my own skincare regimen I decided to start there with my experimentation. If you're not familiar with this wonder plant, check this out:
"Calendula has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, astringent, antifungal, antiviral, and immunostimulant properties making it useful for disinfecting and treating minor wounds, conjunctivitis, cuts, scrapes, chapped or chafed skin, bruises, burns, athlete's foot, acne, yeast infections, bee stings, diaper rashes, and other minor irritations and infections of the skin." –Mountain Rose Blog
Reading this, I'm left to wonder: What can't calendula do?
That said, I hit up my local apothecary for some dried calendula petals and then my trusty kitchen cabinet for a recycled glass jar and some olive oil and I was ready to make calendula infused oil.
Choosing An Oil
I recommend choosing the oil for your infusion based on your final plans for your herbal oil. While I've read that olive oil is great for salves and ointments and almond oil is lovely for lip balms and oil-based skin moisturizers, I would advise you to use what you like. If this process is new to you, try deciding first what you'll do with your herbal oil when it's finished (see end of article for ideas), find a recipe, and then choose your oil, herbs, and method from there. I chose to infuse my calendula petals in olive oil and hope to make a calendula salve with it when it is finished.
Choosing an Infusion Method
There are a few different ways to make herbal infused oils. Choose a method based on the type of herb you are using and whether you are using fresh or dried herbs. I recommend doing some quick Google research to see which method best suits your herb and oil of choice. Below is a brief overview of your herb-infusion options. I decided to go with a cold-infusion process for my calendula petals.
1. Cold-infused Herbal Oil: The cold-infusion method is simple. Here are the basic steps.
Step 1: Fill a glass jar halfway with herbs.
Step 2: Pour oil over herbs, covering by at least an inch.
Step 3: Stir with chopstick or knife to release air bubbles.
Step 4: Shake daily for 2 to 8 weeks.
Step 5: Strain herbs through cheesecloth and store herb-infused oil for use!
2. Sun-infused Herbal Oil: To make solar, or sun-infused herbal oil, start by following the directions above for cold-infused herbal oil. The only difference with this method is that you will place your steeping herbs on a sunny counter or windowsill while they are infusing to allow the warmth of the sun to assist in the process. Some folks choose to place their jar inside a paper bag to prevent damage to the herbs or oil from the sun's UV rays.
3. Heat-infused Herbal Oil: With this quick method you can make herbal infused oils in one afternoon. Basically, you combine the herbs and oil in a double boiler, crock pot, or electric yogurt maker and heat slowly over low heat (100°-140°) for 2 to 5 hours, then strain and you are done!
To learn more about each of the above methods, use the title links provided!
Using Your Herbal Infused Oil
Once you've made your herbal infused oil, you'll probably want to use it. But how? Great question!
Below are some fun recipes & uses for homemade herbal infused oils to get you started!

I've been wanting to make a calendula healing salve or lotion for my daughter's eczema. I ordered some calendula tea (just dried petals) because it was so much cheaper than ordering from the herbal suppliers. You think I can make the infusion with that?
So much depends on the source of your herb. You really have not way of knowing ( unless the supplier dates their tea ) how old the tea is. It is important, especially if you are trying to help a medical condition, that you use the BEST possible herb possible. It is best to grow your own, but if that is not possible, then see if there is a local source of calendula. I have been working with calendula for years and make both salves and tinctures. I have been growing my own for the past 5 years and the difference is unbelievable. If the calendula tea is bright colored and smells good, then you might be lucky. But if it is pale and does not have much of a smell, then chances are slim that it will be very medicinal. You get what you pay for! Good luck though, nothing more rewarding than making a product that makes someone feel better, especially your own family. Comfrey, plantain and chamomile are also great herbs to use in a formula for any skin issue.
This is great! Kyle and I are thinking about buying a house that has a huge gardening space, so I've been thinking about growing some Calendula next year for homemade baby products! I'll remember this if that dream comes true. : )
I was planning to do calendula and chamomile infused coconut oil as one ingredient in baby lotion. That should work fine, right?

The American Python and visionary director gets his canon Ranked.
By David Sterritt, author of Terry Gilliam: Interviews
Terry Gilliam is one of cinema's great fabulists. After emigrating to England in 1967, disgusted with Vietnam-era American values, he had a lengthy stint as animator-in-residence for Britain's legendary TV show Monty Python's Flying Circus, then made the leap to theatrical features in 1974. His breakthrough picture, Time Bandits, celebrated its thirtieth anniversary this week. Gilliam's movies range from nearly sublime to utterly ridiculous, which makes his body of work perfect for ranking.
11. The Brothers Grimm (2005)
Gilliam had a prolific but not especially successful year in 2005, producing two of his least interesting movies. The Brothers Grimm stars Matt Damon and Heath Ledger as the eponymous fairy-tale collectors, portrayed as con artists whose phony demon-slaying racket turns perilous when they enter a forest that's actually haunted. Fittingly given the film's title, some blame falls on executive producers Harvey and Bob Weinstein, who feuded with Gilliam throughout the production, delaying the release for almost a year.
10. Tideland (2005)
Gilliam's unfortunate 2005 continued with this schizofantasy about a heroin addict, his emotionally troubled daughter, a dilapidated farmhouse, and some very weird neighbors. Jeff Bridges is completely at ease in this territory, and the story is classic Gilliam, featuring a child — a child who converses with dolls' heads, a corpse preserved via taxidermy à la Psycho, a mentally challenged child-man with a stash of explosives in his room. But the imaginative elements end up clogging the story instead of energizing it. So many nightmares, so little time.
9. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)
Few modern filmmakers claim Georges Méliès as a major influence, but this white elephant of an epic is an overambitious homage to the magic of primitive cinema. It's hard to beat for sheer spectacle, whether the eighteenth-century hero is surfing the sky on a cannonball or matching wits with the King of the Moon. What's missing is lightness, ease, and humor; they're traded for labored ingenuity and monumental cuteness. Gilliam trimmed bits and pieces throughout the film to achieve the contractually required running time just before release, and he's always insisted the movie works beautifully in his original cut. If so, it's a pity the pared-down version is the only surviving one.
8. Jabberwocky (1977)
The title comes from Lewis Carroll, the characters have names like Griselda Fishfinger and King Bruno the Questionable, and the style is Monty Python gone medieval. The dreaded Jabberwock is played by an actor walking backward in a monster suit, and that kind of comic klutziness is inadvertently present in the film's other elements as well, turning Gilliam's first feature as solo director into a lumbering piece of entertainment and little else. At least Michael Palin, one of the best Python performers, is at the top of his game.
7. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)
The too-much-ness of the title (thirteen syllables!) signals the tone of the movie: creative, but ultimately more frantic than fulfilling. Christopher Plummer plays the titular magician whose stage opens on a fantastic neverland of imagination, and Tom Waits is terrific as Mr. Nick, a devil who wants to recapture the souls liberated by Parnassus. Heath Ledger's death during production forced Gilliam to reinvent his character as a protean figure who morphs into Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell, and the action zigzags accordingly. Gilliam has suffered plenty of bad luck in his career, but Ledger's untimely departure was a blow worthy of Mr. Nick himself.
6. The Fisher King (1991)
On the skids after a career disaster — one of his monologues sparked a murder-suicide — a radio talk-show host meets a sidewalk schizophrenic whose voices are telling him to steal a trophy (which he thinks is the Holy Grail) from the home of a billionaire he's never met. When it isn't bogged down in romantic subplots, this pitch-dark comedy has great energy and visual imagination. Its view of urban poverty is hardly subtle (hardship wouldn't matter if homeless people had Robin Williams around to make them laugh), but reliable Jeff Bridges is on hand to smooth down some of the movie's many rough edges.
5. Twelve Monkeys (1995)
In a future society driven underground by a deadly epidemic, a convict travels to the bygone year of 1996, looking for a bizarre animal-rights group that may have that may have unleashed the illness. Gilliam had never seen Chris Marker's towering 1962 classic La Jetée when he set to work on this feature-length remake, but he manages to update, expand, and Hollywoodize the subject without in any way desecrating the French original. Bruce Willis is excellent as the film's hero, and Brad Pitt is downright unhinged as the activist who dogs his trail. Gilliam's talent for vivid imagery fills shot after shot with an anarchic energy that's appropriate for the unpredictable story.
4. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1974)
Codirected by Gilliam and Terry Jones — Terry G. focused on visuals while Terry J. supervised the acting — from a screenplay by all six Monty Python members, Holy Grail is rife with verbal wit and visual richness, and its rhythm is perfect. You'd never guess that Graham Chapman (as King Arthur) was often so drunk he could barely stand (much less remember his lines) or that the unusual depiction of horses — the knights trot along the ground while squires clack coconut shells to make clip-clop sounds — grew out of budget limitations, not divine inspiration. As a collective Python project, the film doesn't quite equal Life of Brian, directed by Jones five years later, but both pictures are excellent and deservedly revered.
3. Time Bandits (1981)
Finding that his bedroom contains a hole in time, a boy ventures through it and emerges in different historical periods, teaming up with a band of diminutive time-traveling outlaws on the lookout for loot. The screenplay by Gilliam and Michael Palin echoes Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and The Wizard of Oz (1939), and also C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia novels. The action is boisterous and inventive, with flashes of quintessential Python humor, and the excitement doesn't let up even when the picture muses about the nature of reality, the problem of evil, and God's relationship to humanity. Time Bandits is a unique, intelligent, freewheeling, and terrific film, complete with a switcheroo ending that few children's films would dare to present.
2. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
Hunter S. Thompson's notorious book bounced around Hollywood for ages before Gilliam got involved; Gilliam promptly threw out the existing script and wrote a new one with Tony Grisoni in the course of a few days. The resulting film captures the energy and essence of Thompson's deadpan pseudobiography and drug-soaked view of America during Watergate and Vietnam years. Gilliam has never made a darker, crazier, more passionate movie, and his principal players — Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke and Benicio Del Toro as Dr. Gonzo — turn in uncannily lived-in performances. The picture failed at the box office, but has since found a rabid cult following: it's a bold and brilliant milestone in Gilliam's career.
1. Brazil (1985)
Imagine a Monty Python version of 1984 and you'll have a dim idea of what this masterpiece is like. A savagely satirical sci-fi noir that uses a miniscule computer glitch to launch a juggernaut of uproarious calamity, Brazil is the tale of a mild-mannered bureaucrat who dares to buck the system in a future society where conformity reigns. The film's history is as strange as its plot: worried that the stunningly dark ending would alienate American audiences, Universal Pictures shelved it until Gilliam's unauthorized private screenings and a major critics' award forced them to release a somewhat altered edition to American theaters. Gilliam's vision is the driving force of the movie, which also benefits from Roger Pratt's retina-bending cinematography and a first-rate cast. Technically, intellectually, and artistically, Brazil is a landmark of fantastic cinema.

Since the Beyond 2000 Elite Camp (B2G) was founded six years ago, over 70 players who attended the camp are playing major college football, 40 are in the Pac-10 and 19 of their camp alumni have played as true freshmen (that's over 26% of their total players in college). That's pretty impressive for a camp that just focuses on quality verses quantity. Close to one out of every two B2G campers have received a major D-1 scholarship.
The B2G Elite Camp has become one of the most high profile programs available to high school athletes. Rather than testing, B2G co-founders Ron Allen (UCLA '97, '98) and Henry Bell (Purdue '97, '98) have earned an undeniable reputation of taking the best players around and making them even better.
The invite only camp has fine tuned talents like Steve Smith (USC), Mark Bradford (Stanford), Daymeion Hughes (Cal), Marcus Everett (UCLA) and Dennis Dixon (Oregon).
Article Continues Below
Last summer¸ standout safety Ryan McFoy of Chino (Arizona State) told Rivals, "The USC camp was fun. But the B2G Camp really prepared me for the USC Camp. I learned a lot of footwork and football knowledge at the B2G camp," McFoy said. "Because of what I learned at B2G, I was pretty dominant at the USC camp."
Crenshaw superstar Darian Hagan (Cal) credited competition as his motivation to attend the B2G Elite Camp. After completing the intense weekend, Hagan told Rivals.com, "It was a good experience, and I got a chance to play against some good players like David Ausberry (USC)," said Hagan. "I'd heard a lot about him, but I never got to see him in action until the camp. All the hype is true because he's a really good athlete. I also got to work with other guys I heard a lot about like C.J. Gable (USC), so it was a great experience."
Notice the quality of players mentioned? The majority of players were highly rated by Rivals.com and have gone off to play D-I college football or are on their way.
This year, B2G has cut down its list of potential invitees down to 200 and will make its final 65 selection by mid April. The camp will take place June 22-25 at Cal Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, CA.

Next Generation Tool Owners Embark on Month-long Missionary TripAug 3rd, 2011 | By Editorial Staff | Category: Features, Spotlight
Next Generation Tool Company owners Darrell and Joanie Bolton have set off on a trip across the globe to help encourage the people, missionaries and pastors of third-world countries to spread the Gospel's message.
Darrell went on his first missionary trip as a volunteer in 2007 and has now traveled to 17 countries in the past five years. Since then he has created MVP Missions, a missionary volunteer program that partners with Good News from Afar, a nonprofit group in Maryland. MVP conducts fundraisers to help with the mission trips and accepts donations, but most of the couple's trips are self-financed.
MVP's three main goals are to reach the world with the Gospel message, encourage missionaries and pastors on the field to continue serving in their faith, and to work with churches so they can send their own members on mission trips to accomplish goals one and two above.
On July 27, the couple set off to Sri Lanka to work with a missionary in the capital area of Colombo, along with their friend and missionary Dave Douglass. After eight days in Sri Lanka, they will be in India with two pastors – one has an orphanage and the other a Christian school and seminary.
On Aug. 16, they arrive in Thailand for eight days in the Bangkok area. They will be returning to the U.S. Aug. 23.
You can follow their travels on their website: www.sites.google.com/site/mvpmissionary or on their Facebook page.
Next Generation Tool Company manufactures professional lock-out tools for the towing industry.

So many people have negative stuff to say about him & I wish they can shut the hell up about him. Reagan, & both Bush's fcked this country up way before he got into office.

Goals from Neymar (2), Fred and Fernandinho helped Brazil beat Cameroon 4-1. Catch all the highlights here. (Matchcentre)
03.25 (IST): Full-time! Brazil beat Cameroon 4-1 to reach the last 16 as toppers of Group A. A brace from Neymar and goals from Fred and Fernandinho sealed the deal for the hosts who did endure a few nervy moments in the game against the fiesty Cameroon side.
03.13 (IST): GOAL! Fernandinho makes it 4-1 for Brazil in the 84th minute.
03.01 (IST): Meanwhile, Mexico have taken a 1-0 lead vs Croatia with Marquez scoring in the 72nd minute.
03.00 (IST): Brazil's two-goal hero Neymar has been taken off. Willian is on now in the 71st minute.
02.52 (IST): Second change for Brazil as Ramires is on for Hulk. 63 minutes gone, Brazil lead 3-1.
02.50 (IST): The two-goal lead has given Brazil much-needed confidence in the middle as Cameroon continue to chase with a string of long balls and a few crunching tackles. 61 minutes played, 3-1 to Brazil.
02.39 (IST): GOAL! Brazil's No.9 Fred has opened his world cup account to put the hosts 3-1 up in the 49th minute!
02.34 (IST): Second half is underway. Brazil bring on Fernandinho for Paulinho.
02.15 (IST): Meanwhile, Mexico and Croatia have played out a goal-less first half.
02.05 (IST): GOAL! It's Neymar again! He has put Brazil ahead in the 35th minute. They can breathe a bit easily now.
02.01 (IST): For all their flair and attacking intent, Brazil have looked a touch nervy at the back. Cameroon looking far more confident at the moment!
01.54 (IST): Cameroon have pulled one back! Matip scores to draw level in the 26th minute! What a game this is turning out to be!
01.45 (IST): GOAL! What a splendidly calm conversion from Neymar! Gustavo put in a low cross from the left flank and Neymar masterly guided it into the net. Brazil lead 1-0 in 17th minute.
01.39 (IST): Against the run of play, Cameroon earn a corner kick in the 10th minute but cannot do much with it as Brazil thwart their attempt on goal.
01.33 (IST): What a start for Brazil this! They're attacking in numbers! Three menacing attempts on goal in only the third minute. Cameroon have a long day at work!
01.31 (IST): Brazil earn a free-kick right outside the box in the first minute!
01.08 (IST): Hosts Brazil take on Cameroon in their bid to claim a spot in last 16. As it stands, there are three teams vying for the top two spots in Group A: Brazil, Mexico and Croatia. If Brazil lose to Cameroon and the Mexico vs Croatia game ends in a draw, then Brazil will be knocked out due to an inferior goal difference.
Brazil vs Cameroon: Preview
Stuttering Brazil will look to clinch their berth in the last 16 of the World Cup as they host already-eliminated Cameroon in their final Group A match at the National Stadium in the capital Brasilia on Monday. Luiz Felipe Scolari's side has beaten Croatia and drawn with Mexico in their two games to date, struggling to convince in either match, but both the coach and his players have claimed in recent days that the World Cup hosts are "evolving" as the tournament goes along.
Brazil head into their final group game-- their 100th at the World Cup -- still not certain of a place in the knockout rounds, but goalkeeper Julio Cesar insisted during the week that the quality of opposition they have come up against so far has helped the Selecao. "This is a tough group, but that's great for us. We prefer to play against these sides and face these difficulties because it gets you focusing right from the start, which is important in short-term competitions," he said.
Pressure looms in do-or-die situation
The battle to avoid joining the likes of Spain and England on the World Cup scrapheap begins in earnest on Monday as the final round of first phase fixtures kicks off with Brazil bidding to book their place in the last 16.
The most entertaining World Cup in years has made a mockery of pre-tournament predictions, with holders Spain condemned to an early flight home after only two matches and England, perhaps less surprisingly, following close behind.
The identity of the remaining teams joining them in the departure lounge will be decided over the next four days as the round-robin stage of the tournament reaches its climax.
Monday's action will see Brazil aim to wrap up qualification for the last 16, where victory over an already-eliminated Cameroon in Brasilia will clinch first place in Group A.
Cameroon without Samuel Eto'o in final group stage game
Cameroon captain Samuel Eto'o will not start against Brazil, further hampering the African team's chances of upsetting the hosts in their World Cup match on Monday.
Cameroon coach Volker Finke said Sunday that Eto'o has not recovered from a knee injury that also kept him out of a 4-0 defeat against Croatia that ensured the Africans' early exit from the tournament.
Finke says Cameroon players want to leave the World Cup with their "heads high" after a dismal run that also saw them lose 1-0 to Mexico.

Liverpool FC in Ł20m online deal
Granada Media is to invest Ł20m in a joint venture with Liverpool Football Club, offering fans the chance to watch some Premier League matches online.
Liverpool FC will contribute its media and commercial rights to the deal. Fans should be able to watch delayed coverage of some matches on the internet as well as on WAP-enabled mobile phones and digital television.
The service will also offer an online betting service, online shopping for Liverpool merchandise and live auctions of memorabilia.
More similar deals could be on the way, Granada Media's chief executive Steve Morrison said.
"I would not preclude trying to do something similar with other football clubs, but they would have to have the same range that Liverpool has," he said.
He added: " The commercial service will be tailored to the appetite of each territory. So in the UK, merchandising might be big, while in the Far East, gambling might be very big."
The service will be available in the UK within a year and a half.
Its revenues will come from sponsors, banner advertising, merchandise sales and subscriptions to some services, Mr Morrison added.
Web relaunch
The internet portal will be developed over the next five years. It will start with the relaunch of the Liverpool's existing website LiverpoolFC.net.
The club has an estimated 2.5 million fans in the UK and 10 million worldwide.
The deal is the first major deal announced by Granada Media since it was listed on the Stock Exchange earlier in July.
Granada paid Ł22m for a 9.9% stake in the football club last year.

Lauren Hutton may not be the best actress in the world, but she sure has sex appeal. And she has a nice ability to mock her sexiness at the same time she is playing to it, which is a trick not every actress can pull off. In Just a Little Harmless Sex, Hutton also gets to utter possibly the best entrance line to be found in a movie all year. Running into her remorseful son-in-law, who has been booted out by his wife for a dalliance with a prostitute, she purrs, "So what's all this about a blowjob?"
Hutton is the standout in an ensemble cast that features Alison Eastwood, Kimberly Williams, Jonathan Silverman, William Ragsdale, Jessica Lundy, and Robert Mailhouse, most of whom are better known for their TV credits than for their feature roles. Likewise, while both producer-director Rick Rosenthal and co-writer Marti Noxon have worked on features, they are most closely identified with their work for the small screen, including the series Life Goes On. The principals' extensive background in television may help explain why, aside from the R-rated catalyst that kicks the plot into gear, Just a Little Harmless Sex feels and plays more like a prime-time television series than it does a feature film.
Rosenthal says he was interested in examining how men and women relate: how men act when they are just around other men, how women act when they are just with other women, and how the two sexes interact when they are together. The story he concocted finds happily married Alan (Mailhouse) sitting uncomfortably at a strip joint while his two best buddies, bitter divorce Danny (Silverman) and inveterate bachelor Brent (Ragsdale), ogle the girls. He finally makes his exit, stopping in the rain to help a woman whose car has broken down. She turns out to be a prostitute--a very persuasive one--and just as Alan succumbs, the cops bust him.

Wife Laura (Eastwood, Clint's daughter) wastes no time in kicking him out of the house. Desperate to save his marriage, Alan seeks guidance from his friends, probably the two people least equipped to offer sound advice. Meanwhile, Laura turns for solace to her two best friends, wallflower Allison (Williams) and wild woman Terrianne (Lundy).
The twist director Rosenthal came up with to try to make all this seem and sound fresh was hiring two writers--one male, the other female. Noxon (co-producer of TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer) wrote the scenes of the women hanging out while Roger Mills, making his screenwriting debut, penned the male sequences. It wasn't until the third act, when the characters all converge at a swank watering hole, that the writers themselves finally worked together. The result may be authentic--the dialogue presumably was based on conversations each writer has had with friends--but an awful lot of it sure sounds manufactured. The biggest surprise is how unsympathetic the friends are. Neither Danny nor Brent is the least bit sensitive to Alan's predicament; they completely gloss over his unhappiness and regret. And the women aren't much better. It turns out that one of Laura's friends has the hots for Alan, a fact the third friend is only too happy to reveal. With friends like this, who needs enemies?
Granted, the movie is supposed to be a sex comedy and, presumably, none too serious, but a little depth to the characters would have made them and their shenanigans a lot more involving. It must be added that the filmmakers show a certain irresponsibility by allowing their characters to imbibe vast quantities of liquor and still climb behind the wheel of a car. In all fairness, the movie improves as it goes along. By the end, everyone has become pretty likable, which makes the entire picture seem better in retrospect than it did while actually sitting through it. And, of course, one should never underestimate the allure of Lauren Hutton's knowing smile.
Just a Little Harmless Sex.
Directed by Rick Rosenthal. Written by Marti Noxon and Roger Mills. Starring Alison Eastwood, Kimberly Williams, Jonathan Silverman, and Lauren Hutton. Opens Friday.

A Service-Level Agreement Approach Towards Termination Analysis of Service-Oriented Systems
Classical approaches for program analysis as, e.g., termination analysis usually do not take into account modern software approaches such as service-oriented systems or cloud computing. Instead, they have a monolithic view on the software system as a single completely available program. As first step to enable such analyzes also in a service-oriented or cloud computing context, respectively, this paper considers termination. Since termination is a service quality attribute, the authors consider a service-level agreement approach that allows dynamic bindings to software services. In contrast to many other service-level agreements, termination is a binary attribute that cannot be measured quantitatively (as, e.g., reliability or response time).

Maine Flyfishing
I will be going to Maine in late July. Can anyone turn me onto a good place to visit where I can drop a fly. I would primarily like to catch Brookies but any trout will do. Thanks.
I was already to offer my suggestion on where to go in Maine, but then I got to the trout. This is the best place to visit for some ideas ::
I go to Grand Lake Stream twice a year, fly fishing only in the stream. Landlocked Salmon, average 12 to 20+, they are actually in the Trout family. There is also the occasional Bass that come down the fish ladder from the lake. This is a great place to stay ::
Just my thoughts on a great place to stay and fish.
Here is a thread that has some good info on Maine that occurred last year:
My family and I just came back from Maine and while I was there I struck up a conversation with a guy in the FF section of LL Bean in Freeport. He got out the DeLorme map of Maine and showed me a few spots around Sebago Lake that held good populations of fish, as well, so if you are close to Portland you could have another relatively quick alternative
If you'll be in the Baxter Park, West Branch of Penobscot area north of Millinnocket or around Greenville, I can put you into some Landlocks along with Brookies. Landlocks are AWESOME. Let me know.

The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?---Lee Wulff
Thanks for the information. I will be on my "honey moon" and she already knows the first thing being packed is the fly rods. She is learning to flyfish slowly but, surely. She caught her first fish on a fly rod last year and she has been reading up on it and trying to get her casting down pat. I will put her threw the flyfishing class at LRO this spring as soon as I can. (it sure helped me out) We are still in the planning stages of the trip so far so we aren't really sure where we will be visiting up there only that, that is where are hearts are set on going.
My Wife and I honeymooned in Maine 22 years ago (in Sept) on a whim and fell in love with the place. We try to go up at least once a year, if not more. The coast is spectacular and inland is some of the most pristine areas in the country.
If you have never been and are not sure where to go, drop me an email and I'd be happy to give you some great places to go, eat, stay and shop. petecz at charter.net
Use the Flyfishinginmaine.com site. I've used it several times and the folks were extremely helpful!!

If you are near the NW corner near the Maine NH line, the McGalloway and Adroscoggin have some good public access. The Rapid is an incredible fishery, but requires a long bumpy drive on a logging road, then a 40 minute hike. Brookies and landlocks, and that should be around the time of the alderfly hatch, which has incredible dry fly fishing. The Rapid is where I got to watch Flat Fly'n fight what he thought was a trophy brookie, but it turned out to be a 22 inch creek chub. That was priceless. A 2 foot long landlock will put on an aerial display like no other fish, they are amazing! Ponds and float tubes are another fun option, and ponds full of brookies are everywhere, and skating caddis imitations is a fun way to catch them. There is a sporting goods store, LL Coty, in Errol NH (right on the border and only a few yards from the Androscoggin) that is a great source of info. If you are near the coast, that is the perfect time of year for stripers in the surf. Maine is an incredible state, lots of water and lots of fish, just make sure to take a gallon of skeeter repellent.
Flights are booked and reservations made. We are going to be in Maine the last week in July. We will be staying in Bar Harbor near Arcadia National Park. Is there any good flyfishing in or near that area that anyone knows of?
There are several ponds in the park that have fish. One problem YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WADE!! even with waders, float tubes kick boats etc are out. I tried it myself.(Drinking Water source) Can use a Kayak or boat! I didn't fish them much, was too late in year Mid Oct.Most were closed at that time. We did the hiking etc my wife had put up with 3 weeks of WB LL's and Baxter Brookies. Jordan Pond, Bubble Pond are two right off that looked fishy. Eagle and Echo are two others. I'd carry a sinking line as everything is Glacially carved and extremely deep. The lakes are in deep V- shaped valleys with steep drop offs.
Again use the flyfishinginmaine.com site for specifics- They are extremely helpful. The Seacoast of Acadia is extremely rocky ,steep. I'd not fool with Stripers from shore there without getting a guide with boat.
You might be able to rent a canoe or 'yak (?)in Bah Hah-bah to fish in park.Or a park concessionaire. I DID NOT SEE ANY FLYSHOPS OR FLY TACKLE THERE ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!! The LL Bean in Ellsworth is basically clothes outlet, some rodsand reels- NO flies leaders etc. I'd carry all my own leader tippet flies. Take a lot of streamers for the Ponds.
I believe the ACADIA National Park site has some fishing info on it. http://www.nps.gov/acad/planyourvisit/fishing.htm
I think I have some additional info on Fishing in Acadia. I'll post it if and when I can find it. Again I go to Maine every other year, With Acadia usually at the tailend, most of fishing season closed.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Club América star midfielder Ángel Reyna came into Thursday's friendly against the Portland Timbers at JELD-WEN Field with a big crowd to please, and he didn't disappoint, helping las Águilas soar over the hosts with a 1-0 win.
Eager to see one of Mexico's premier players on one of the country's most historic clubs, Águilas supporters came in droves, armed with drums, horns and chants that rivaled the famed Timbers Army. In front of a crowd of 17,198, Reyna found the net in the 16th minute on a right-footed blast to lift his team to victory.
The goal came after a series of beautifully placed passes. First, defender Óscar Rojas sent in a pass to Vicente Sánchez through several defenders. The forward then found Reyna through traffic in the goal box to set up the shot, and Reyna did his part by finding the net, hitting a hard shot that deflected off the post and in.
Reyna, who played on Mexico's recent Gold Cup-winning squad, scored 13 goals for América in Mexico's Primera División to take home the Golden Boot for the 2011 Clausura. He has been a fan favorite since he joined the club in 2008.
The fashion in which América started the match — attacking and easily advancing possession up the field — it was only a matter of time before they found the net. The Mexican side fired off three shots, including one off the goalpost, in the game's first 10 minutes.
América, preparing for the upcoming 2011 Apertura season, which they will kick off July 24, had nine shots to Portland's six in the first half. Both teams used a number of reserves in the second half.
With most the Timbers' top players looking on — obviously resting for perhaps their most important and highly anticipated match of the season against bitter rivals Seattle Sounders on Sunday — the team started slowly. While América were fast on the ball, the Timbers did make effective adjustments following the goal, picking up the pace and showing some fight.
The Timbers tried to answer back by way of Ryan Pore and later via Kenny Cooper, but neither forward found success.
In the 31st minute, Rodrigo Lopez mailed in a cross for Pore, who had an open chance at a goal. Pore got his head on it but América 'keeper Armando Navarrete stretched out to deny the equalizer.
The Timbers' best chance at a first-half goal, however, came when Cooper found himself onside behind the Águilas' defense and onside, but his attempt sailed over the goal.
In the second half, it was Cooper again who led the Timbers' attack. The big striker took a shot from the edge of the box on the hour mark that forced Navarrete into a save near his post.
Still chasing the equalizer in the dying moments of the game, Portland's Kalif Alhassan just missed the mark from 19 yards out in the 80th minute.
Two minutes from the end, another goal opportunity went by the boards for Portland when defender Kevin Goldthwaite had a clear shot sail high off a corner kick.
The Timbers next take the pitch at 4 pm ET on Sunday, when they host rivals Seattle Sounders in an ESPN-televised match.

SAINT JOHN, N.B. – Charlie Coyle set a new team record for playoff scoring as the Saint John Sea Dogs seized a 2-0 lead in the President's Cup final with a 3-2 win in Game 2 Saturday.
Coyle scored a short-handed penalty shot goal, and set up a power-play marker by Tomas Jurco to increase his Quebec Major Junior Hockey League-best points total to 32. That's one more than the mark set by Michael Kirkpatrick in 2010. Danick Gauthier also scored for the Sea Dogs and Mathieu Corbeil made 14 saves for the win.
Petr Straka had both Rimouski goals and Jacob Chouinard stopped 29 in a losing cause.
For a complete summary of Saturday's game, click HERE. For interviews and highlights, visit Sea Dogs TV, the team's official YouTube channel.
Corbeil got some help from the goaltender's best friend in the first period. A minute into the game, Straka ripped a wrist shot off the post to Corbeil's left.
The fans were once again on their feet and into the game from the opening faceoff. Charles Roussel delivered two big hits in quick succession in the sixth minute to pump them up even more. First the overage defenceman drilled Straka into the Dogs bench, then later in the shift he levelled Peter Trainor at the blueline.
With less than five minutes to go in the opening frame the Oceanic hit the post again. This time is was a trailing Casey Babineau ringing a shot off the pipe to Corbeil's right.
The Sea Dogs outshot Rimouski 14-4 in the first period and their best chance may have been a Nathan Beaulieu breakaway as he jumped out of the penalty box to rejoin play with a minute left. But Chouinard stopped his slap shot to preserve the scoreless tie.
With 4.4 seconds remaining in the frame, Gauthier was called for checking from behind, setting off a heated scrum. Several players exchanged words and shoves as the bad blood in this series continued to build.
The Sea Dogs got things going offensively during a 4-on-4 situation at 6:12 of the second period. With the extra open ice, Gauthier was able to get a clear shot from the left-wing faceoff dot and he snapped it over Chouinard's glove and into the top corner for his 10th. Jason Seed and Kevin Gagne assisted on the goal, which was so well-placed it actually stayed lodged in the top corner until a Rimouski player knocked it out.
Just 50 seconds later, as Roussel jumped out of the box to create a short power play, Jurco stickhandled a rebound to his backhand and lifted it high over Chouinard's glove from the slot. Coyle and Spencer MacDonald assisted on the goal, Jurco's 10th.
Coyle set his record in style, making it 3-0 with a short-handed penalty shot goal at 11:36. With the Dogs down 4-on-3, Coyle broke away, but was held by Alex Belzile, and a penalty shot called. With the Harbour Station faithful cheering him on, Coyle almost lost the handle on the puck, but recovered to deke to his forehand and beat Chouinard for his 15th.
The Oceanic broke the shutout on just their eighth shot of the game, with Straka converting a rebound at 15:50 of the second to make it 3-1.
The Sea Dogs frustrated the Oceanic with tenacious forechecking for most of the third period, not letting Rimouski set up much in the way of a comfortable breakout.
With the Rimouski net empty and under two minutes to go, the Dogs missed a couple of chances to ice the victory with an empty-netter. Then with 1:04 to go, the Oceanic took advantage of the extra attacker to draw back within one.
Straka struck again, this time firing a shot from the left wing across Corbeil's body to make it 3-2. But the Dogs held the fort, keeping Rimouski from setting up another dangerous opportunity in the final seconds.
Games 3, 4 and 5 (if necessary) are set for Rimouski on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Tim Roszell will have the call on News 88.9 FM and fans can also catch all the action online via the official TELUS QMJHL webcast (click HERE to order; charges apply).

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) yesterday alleged that the Federal Government was plotting to discredit and silence key opposition leaders so as to stymie moves for merger of political parties ahead of 2015 elections.
In a statement in Lagos yesterday, ACN spokesman Lai Mohammed said the plot was targeted at ACN leader Bola Tinubu, his CPC counterpart General Muhammadu Buhari and their associates.
"Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is particularly a prime target of these evil machinations, because of his status as the leader of the country's second biggest party, his progressive credentials as well as his electoral value," Mohammed said.
He said the PDP-led government wants to "cripple the opposition, by ensuring that nothing will be left of the integrity of its key leaders even if they are fortunate to make it to 2015."
"Some key government agencies have also been co-opted to dig up any dirt they hope can be plastered on the targeted leaders, while foreign intelligence agencies have been contacted in a desperate attempt to unearth any information that can be used to discredit and disgrace these major opposition figures thus distracting them from the merger plans.
"Indications are that highly-combustible sectional and religious issues, that are being manipulated by desperate forces to divide and destroy, are not off the table as long as exploiting them can shut down the opposition. Or how else does one interpret a recent PDP statement that President Goodluck Jonathan is being criticized by the opposition because he is from a minority ethnic group?
"And what about the continuous efforts, which have failed so far, to portray a key opposition leader as a sponsor of Boko Haram? His nomination as a 'facilitator' of some phantom peace talks was not an accident, but was carefully choreographed to portray him as a religious zealot and terrorist not fit to preside over the affairs of the nation," Mohammed added.
Senior special assistant to President Jonathan on public affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, could not be reached by telephone, and he did not reply to a text message sent to him last night.
Also, PDP spokesman Olisa Metuh was not available for comments yesterday.

The study of Comparative Literature situates literature in an international perspective; examines transnational cultural connections through literary history, literary criticism, critical theory, and poetics; and works toward a nuanced understanding of the sociocultural functions of literature. The structure of the program allows students to engage in such diverse areas of critical inquiry as East-West cultural relations, global censorship and human rights, diaspora studies, film history and theory, and aesthetics of modernity. Therefore, interpretive methods from other disciplines also play a role in the comparative study of literature; among these are anthropology, ethnology, philosophy, history, history of art, religion, classical studies, area studies (Africana studies, Middle Eastern studies, Latin American studies, among others), gender studies, and other arts.
Comparative literature students are required to have a reading knowledge of at least one foreign language adequate to the advanced study of literature in that language. Some comparative literature courses may require reading knowledge of a foreign language as a prerequisite for admission. Students considering graduate work in comparative literature should also study a second foreign language.
Major Requirements
Requirements for the comparative literature major are COML 200: Introduction to Comparative Literature (normally taken in the sophomore year); six literature courses at the 200 level or above, balanced between two literature departments (of which English may be one)—at least two of these (one in each national literature) must be at the 300 level or above, or its equivalent as approved in advance by the adviser; one course in critical theory; two electives; COML 398: Theories and Methods in Comparative Literature and 399: Senior Seminar in Comparative Literature.
Students who, in the judgment of the advisory committee, have done distinguished work in their courses and in the senior seminar will be considered for departmental honors.
Minor Requirements
Requirements for the minor are COML 200 and 398, plus four additional courses—two each in the literature of two languages. At least one of these four courses must be at the 300 level. Students who minor in comparative literature are encouraged to choose their national literature courses from those with a comparative component.
Both majors and minors are encouraged to work closely with the chairs and members of the advisory committee in shaping their programs.

COML B257 The Realist Novel Revisited
This seminar undertakes the study of a deceptively simple cultural and literary historical concept—realism—by closely reading well-known 19th-century novels by George Eliot, Gustave Flaubert, Theodor Fontane, Henry James, Stendhal, Leo Tolstoy and Ivan Turgenev, all of which have traditionally been placed within realism's parameters. Critical essays exploring the nature of realism, either in general or in a particular author's works, are also discussed.

COML B351 Medieval Encounters in Contemporary Fiction
Muslim, Christian and Jewish relations, particularly in the medieval period, have occupied a number of recent works of fiction in English and other languages. Why that subject has so captured the literary imagination and how individual authors treat it are the central issues the course aims to ad-dress. Selected works of fiction will serve as entry points into questions of how different religious communities interacted with and perceived one another before modern times. Another goal of the course is to make students think about how works of historical fiction serve to shape as well as to challenge current religious sensibilities.
