BOSTON, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Boston Red Sox pitcher John Lackey has filed for divorce from his wife of three years who is battling breast cancer, documents show.
Krista Lackey underwent a double mastectomy in March and has been having chemotherapy, sources close to the family told TMZ.com.
Lackey filed for divorce in Texas, saying in the documents "the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities."
The couple, who married in November, 2008, had a prenuptial agreement, the divorce papers said.
The divorce papers identified the couple only by their initials, a tactic also used by Tony Parker and Eva Longoria and Sandra Bullock and Jesse James in their Texas divorces, TMZ reported.

Tehran - Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says if the Israelis launch a new war against Lebanon's Hezbollah, the militant group should retaliate and "close their case once and for all".
The state news agency says Ahmadinejad vowed his support for Hezbollah in a telephone conversation with Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday. The comments bring Iran into a heated exchange of rhetoric between Israel and Lebanon and Syria in recent weeks.
The IRNA report says Ahmadinejad told Nasrallah to prepare his forces so that if "they (the Israelis) want to repeat the mistakes of the past, then their case should be closed once and for all and the region delivered from their evil ways forever."
Iran is a key supporter of Hezbollah.

Anybody replaced their keyboard and if so, which was your preference?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using xda app-developers app
I've actually just been using the stock Samsung keyboard this whole time. I liked the overall feel of it, plus the predictions were accurate. After reading this thread, I gave SwiftKey a try...wow, what a night/day difference. I never realized how slow Samsung's keyboard was until I tried SwiftKey, lol. I've been playing around with it for most of the day and needless to say...I'll definitely be keeping Swiftkey as the default
SwiftKey is the best hands down. Very fluent, responsive, and smart. However it doesn't support emojis or Evernote in the official release.
Download the most up to date beta from their website, the download is located here: [URL]http://www.swiftkey.net/en/blog/new-swiftkey-beta-update-march2014/[URL]
That'll show you what the official one is going to be at soon. I use emojis in various things other than texting so I'm using the beta now but I have bought the official release because of how good it is. I wouldn't use any else. The "thumb" layout is awesome.

After much anticipation, the new trailer for Marvel's "Guardians Of The Galaxy" is finally here!
The little-known team of "Guardians" includes Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Groot, and Rocket Raccoon, who have existed as a group in comics since only 2008. They're a departure from Marvel's usual superheros, functioning as very sarcastic, funny, anti-hero type characters.
"Guardians of the Galaxy" stars Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, a half-alien whose possession of a powerful blue orb lands him in space prison, and Zoe Saldana, as Gamora. They travel the galaxy with their teammates, who include Bradley Cooper as Rocket Raccoon, Dave Bautista as Drax, and Vin Diesel as Groot.
Watch the characters in action for the first time in the trailer below!
"Guardians Of The Galaxy" opens August 1.

Matt Hazard: Bloodbath and Beyond headlines today's PlayStation Store offerings. The $14.99 downloadable sequel to last year's not-so-great third-person shooter had shed its AAA-aspirations for a cool-looking, old-school aesthetic, a move that can only be described as wise.
Also available this week is the latest issue of Qore (at $2.99), DLC for MX vs ATV Reflex (its a free track pack) and BorderLands ($9.99), and the Dark Void demo. There's a tasty half-price sale on TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, Prince of Persia Classic and Cellfactor Psychokinetic Wars (all are going for $4.99). PSP titles up for grabs include four Pinball Heroes titles (at $9.99 for the pack), Bomberman Land, and Dungeon Explorer (both at $12.99).
OK, I actually had the (dis)pleasure of playing through Matt Hazard's debut, which was fairly entertaining, but the gameplay was so sorely lacking that it even drained the joke-power from the Neil Patrck Harris and Will Arnette-voiced storyline. Lets hope the slightly less ambitious downloadable format (and friendlier price) suits Hazard a bit better.
What will you be downloading this evening?

Good Points
There is nothing bad about this handbag! It is cool and stylish. There is nothing I would change.
Bad Points
It's very expensive, but it is worth the money! You get so much value out of it.
General Comments
If I were you, I would go and look for a Louis Vuitton handbag now, before every one has them.

CRESSKILL, N.J., Oct. 5 (UPI) -- Nicholas Oresko of Cresskill, N.J., the nation's oldest Medal of Honor recipient, has died, a family friend said. He was 96.
Oresko died of complications after surgery for a broken leg, John "Jack" Carbone of North Haledon told NorthJersey.com.
Oresko was a U.S. Army master sergeant during World War II when he was awarded the nation's highest military honor for valor beyond the call of duty for his actions during the Battle of the Bulge in Germany. Despite being wounded in the same leg for which he was hospitalized, Oresko took out two enemy bunkers.
Oresko had no living immediate family, Carbone said, but dozens of young members of the military stood vigil after learning he had been hospitalized.
"The kids held his hand; they prayed with him," Carbone said.
A friend of Oresko's, Richard E. Robitaille, said people came from far and wide to be with the war hero in his final hours.
"They understood the type of person we were talking about and said, 'We can't let him die alone,'" Robitaille said. "He's loved throughout the Army. He's an American hero."

I've loved HP since the second grade and am still obessed with it. So basically I've been at this for like 7 years... wow.
okay heres a poem, i totally DID NOT write it, im not sure who did i got it in an email.
As I was walking
down life's highway
many years ago
I came upon a
sign that read
Heavens Grocery Store.
When I got a
little closer
the doors swung
open wide
And when I came
to myself
I was standing
I saw a host
of angels.
They were
standing everywhere
One handed me a
and said "My
child shop with care."
Everything a
human needed
was in that
grocery store
And what you
could not carry
you could come
back for more
First I got some
Love was in that
same row.
Further down was
you need that
everywhere you go.

Introducing Lisa
Greetings interfaith families!
As a Catholic who converted to Judaism three and a half years ago, I thought at first that my family and I had put the "interfaith" part of our religious life behind us. I was raised in an interfaith family—my mother was Catholic and my father at turns Baptist and Methodist—and let's just say that religion was hotly debated in my childhood home.
My Jewish husband and I are raising our three children—ages 16, 11, and 7—as Jews. I've memorized the prayers and figured out how to make latkes. We're active participants in our interfaith synagogue. I faithfully sat in on my older daughter's Hebrew lessons and watched with tears in my eyes as she recited her portion at her bat mitzvah. In fact, her bat mitzvah was what finally spurred me to convert. Religious identity, complete at last.
But I'm learning that in reality we will always be interfaith. When my mother died a few months ago after a brief, heartbreaking struggle with cancer, I found myself thrust back decades. Memories of my mother and I attending Mass, going to confession, and saying the rosary together came flooding back. It turns out the language of my grief right now isn't Jewish—the prayers that pour out of me are Hail Marys and Psalm 23. I tried to say Kaddish to myself in her final moments, but couldn't remember the words. Our family and friends, Jews and Christians alike, came to my mother's funeral in a beautiful, old Catholic church on a chilly spring day. My youngest asked what the kneeling pads were for, which came as a weird shock to me. I'm trying to take comfort now in the fact that, as my husband pointed out, my mother is remembered in (at least) three faiths.
Introducing Susanna
HI! Welcome to the Interfaith Parenting blog. Since we are starting with introductions, I will take a moment to introduce myself and my brood. I am the non-Jewish partner in an interfaith family. When my husband and I got married, we were told: It will never last, you will get divorced, it is doomed, interfaith marriages never work out, don't get married unless you convert. Having just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary, I want to say pppbbbttt to all the nay-sayers! We are still going strong and I would be very surprised if we divorced because he is Jewish and I am not.
I am still not Jewish. I really don't plan to become Jewish. It isn't part of what I want to do for me. It isn't part of my reality. That does not mean that I don't drive the kids to Religious School every week, make challah for Shabbat, take them to temple… alone, and do what a "real" Jewish mother would do. My relationship with G-d is mine, and it isn't Jewish.
We have three wonderful, Jewish children, two boys (11 and 8) and a girl (5, almost 6 (she wanted me to say that)). They are more than Jewish, but living in what seems to be the epicenter of Christianity, I find that describing them as Jewish happens more often than not. Oh the looks I get when I tell people that our babysitter is going to Israel for a semester and wants to be a rabbi.
As a family we struggle to educate people that Christmas is a Christian holiday, that Santa Claus does not go to shul and that Easter is not for everyone. One of my biggest surprises was going into my son's kindergarten class and asking how many of them had heard of Hanukkah. It was shocking how many really didn't know anything about it. Our challenge is to teach people about tolerance, and we believe that education is the route to that.
We are also embarking on many life cycle events: our oldest started middle school and is preparing for a bar mitzvah, our middle son is starting Hebrew school on Wednesdays, and our baby is going to kindergarten. We are experiencing a great deal of change. How that impacts our family and our sense of who we are, well, I guess you will have to keep reading to find out.
Hope you take some time to put us in your RSS reader and keep coming back. It is a great group of bloggers.
Furniture and Other Attachments
"You don't need one. It becomes useless very quickly," my friend tells me. But I still want one.
We're debating the utility of that nearly ubiquitous piece of baby room equipment called the changing table. No more than a couple of pieces of balsa wood with a flat surface on top for re-diapering a baby and a shelf below, I'll admit it doesn't have much to offer in the way of aesthetics. And yet, months after our conversation, paging through an Ikea catalogue, I stop dead at the sight of one and with a whispered reverence say to myself, "ahhh, it's a changing table." My eyes linger over it for a long moment and I nearly choke up.
I'm aware that there's something deeply psychological about my attachment to this particular item of furniture. I suspect it's the name – "changing" table. The arrival of my child has been so long anticipated that it's painful to even think of it at times. First, I waited to get married. Second, I waited because I didn't think I could raise a child on my own. Then I waited some more, overwhelmed by the choices in adoption (private, foster, international?). And now, I wait for "referral," that lodestone of adoption-speak, meaning finally, finally, I have been matched with a baby.
And I wait for all the surfaces in my life to become "changing" tables – spaces transformed by the presence of a child –the dining table to become the family dinner table, floors to become play areas, and my ordinary rocking chair to become the point of departure for "Goodnight, Moon" and "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie." Like most perspective adoptive parents, I'm working on my Master's degree in waiting… waiting for change.
This blog is about a single Jewish woman hoping for motherhood. The journey so far has been unpredictable, filled with both promise and tears. I hope you'll climb up onto the changing table with me as I wait for the simcha [joy] of a new son or daughter.
Introducing Cassie
Hello readers and fellow parenting bloggers! I am excited to begin sharing our story with you and learning a lot more along the way.
First, a little about me: I am an Evangelical Christian woman married to my wonderful Jewish husband for nearly 3 years. Our interfaith journey together has stretched nearly a decade and has even brought us to live in Israel for a year! Being pregnant in a foreign country has been quite the adventure in itself. Did you know your pregnant belly is public property in Israel? It has taken some getting used to random strangers rubbing my belly and exclaiming a hearty "B'sha'a tova" [in good time] or "Mazel tov" [congratulations], but I can't say I haven't enjoyed the attention.
Although I have no plans to convert and am very strong in my faith, I am very committed to my raising my piece of the Jewish family. I am actually a parent-in-training as I am due with our first child in January of next year. We can't wait to meet our little boy and begin this new chapter of our lives together.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog posts and of course I always welcome advice, comments and questions. Until next time, I'm off to pack for our second international move back home to Atlanta…while 6 months pregnant!
Introducing Hannah
I am another one of the fab parenting bloggers. I am actually a parent in waiting… due in 3 days! (Will baby be on time? That's a different story.)
I am Jewish and grew up mostly culturally Jewish. We had three sets of dishes in the house, milk, meat and treif. We went to my grandparents' for Shabbos (by car) and the synagogue was reserved for High Holidays.
My husband is not Jewish. He grew up… well, kind of non-denominational. Technically Catholic, his parents forced Sunday school on him in his early years but then they weren't committed to any religion.
After much research and discussion, my husband and I have decided to raise our little guy as a Jew. Add to this journey, that I have been growing more observant, in that I have been actually keeping Shabbat (no driving, no electricity). My husband has agreed to follow suit once the little one is here (to avoid confusion).
How will this all work out? Don't know. But I do have a lot of questions!
P.S. You can read some of my articles describing my spiritual journey on InterfaithFamily.com
Introducing Julie
Well, hello! I wanted to take a couple quick minutes to introduce myself as one of the Parenting bloggers. First, I suppose, I should cover the basics. I'm a non-Jew (Christian, United Methodist) married to a Jewish man (Bryan). We actually blogged here together on the Weddings blog a few years ago. We have three boys; for now I'll call them Bubba, Bear, and Baby. (English major nerd alert; I like alliteration.)
Here's where it gets complicated… Baby is Jewish, Bubba and Bear are not. How is this, you ask? Well, Bubba and Bear are my stepsons. (Believe me, I'd love to claim them fully as my own because they are truly that wonderful!) Their mother is not Jewish, and she and Bryan decided that they would expose the boys to both religions and let them decide when they were old enough. How we came to the decision (okay, really, how I came to the decision, and yes, it really was my decision) for Baby to be Jewish really could be a post by itself; in fact, I think it will be!
To make our lives even more fun, we have a large extended family. My side is Christian: United Methodist and Catholic. Bryan's parents are divorced and both remarried. His dad's side is Jewish (his step-mom converted from United Methodist before she and my FIL married). His mom converted to Judaism before marrying my FIL, but was then re-baptized before she married Bryan's step-dad. Did you follow all that? And that's the "simplified" version.
So, you can see I have LOTS of interfaith learning experiences coming my way. In fact, I imagine I'll gain more wisdom from my Parenting co-bloggers (is that a word?) and our readers than I impart. I hope to at least make it an even trade. So, with that, what's on your mind?

Pierre-Luc Labbe had a lot going against him last year.
So much, in fact, that it's a wonder he's wearing a Winnipeg Blue Bombers uniform this year, let alone filling in as the fourth linebacker in the team's 3-4 defensive set.
That's where Labbe finds himself these days while Joe Lobendahn rests an injured shoulder that is expected to keep him out for a couple more weeks. Labbe is expected to perform the duties again tomorrow night when the Bombers (1-1) visit the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (1-1) in an East Division clash at Ivor Wynne Stadium.
"It's really exciting to be playing on defence and just making my chances," Labbe said yesterday, speaking nearly perfect English. "Maybe when Lobendahn's gonna be back I'm just going to be on special teams, but that doesn't matter.
"I'm playing in the CFL and just enjoying it day after day. I'm getting paid for it. I just love it right now."
The 25-year-old was nowhere near as comfortable when he reported for training camp last year. The University of Sherbrooke grad spoke barely a lick of English, and he was the 47th selection (out of 48) in the CFL draft a month earlier.
It didn't exactly scream: Long stay ahead.
"Everything was new, and everything was a lot more difficult for me than all the other rookies," Labbe said.
So the 6-foot-2, 222-pounder put his head down, went to work and made the team. The Quebec City native ended up dressing for 16 games as well as the East Division semifinal, finishing fourth on the squad with 13 special teams tackles.
Then, just when he was feeling good about his lot in life, the Bombers cleaned house, firing head coach Doug Berry. The defensive and special teams co-ordinators were gone.
The sophomore was essentially a rookie again under the new regime.
"With a new coach you gotta do it again and again, and just show them that you can play on defence, too," said Labbe, who could get the start at weak-side linebacker tomorrow if Siddeeq Shabazz's wonky ankle isn't fully healed. "I didn't really have expectations before coming here, other than just making the team first. And after that (it was) making special teams, doing my job and hopefully playing on defence."
Football is all about opportunity, and Labbe is making the most of his. Thanks to his reps on defence, he already has nearly as many defensive tackles this year (two) as he did in 2008 (three). He has also recorded a pass knockdown.
"I've been training all winter just to be ready for whatever happened for me," he said. "It doesn't matter if it's special teams or defence. I just want to be ready to step it up on the field and do my job and do it well.
"For me, a Canadian linebacker, it's special to play on defence with guys like Ike (Charlton) and Barrin (Simpson) and Lobendahn."
Off the field, his roommate, Shawn Mayne, and fellow Canadians Neil McKinlay and Daryl Stephenson help him out when it comes to mastering English.
"The guys on the team are really nice with me, and I'm just asking them to correct me every day if I'm doing some mistakes," Labbe said. "Just tell me right now, and I'm going to work on it and make sure I'm not repeating them."
Labbe isn't repeating many mistakes these days, which is why he's on the field more, wearing jersey No. 47 -- as in the 47th pick overall, a throwaway selection who wasn't supposed to make it.
"Wearing that number," Labbe said, "is motivation for me."

Coffee will always be my go-to drink, but sometimes I find myself wanting to wake up without caffeine. Usually this happens when I want to go to bed earlier or when I wake up late in the day. Here's how I wake up without coffee and other stimulants.
Blog Posts
It was a quiet Wednesday in Houston when I ventured to a small coffee shop in the Montrose area near my workplace. The barista asked if I was in a hurry, to which I replied, "Not at all!" – And I am so glad I wasn't. He shot me a smile as he introduced me to the wonders of the a new coffee maker. It was a strange brewer that resembled a flower pot. He meticulously went through the

Knock boxes are like the middle child of the espresso world-- we'd never give them second thought unless they went missing. Perhaps this is a little harsh to readers with older and younger siblings, but the take home is knock boxes serve an essential purpose but are generally overlooked. They're well worth the investment if you're not already using one.
The old adage of "value in, value out," applies more so to coffee than most other aspects of life. You're doing yourself no favors with that cheap electric grinder you picked up on sale last year. There's an unofficial rule that for every dollar you spend on an espresso machine, half that should go toward a coffee grinder. The best grinders put out a consistent grind across the very fine to coarse spectrum. Combined with freshly roasted beans, the end

Discussion: How Angels' Growing Influence Affects Venture Capital
Angels – venture capitalists can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.
On one hand, angel investors are increasingly sparking tension in the venture industry. They're sparring with VCs on blogs and conference panels over the value they offer entrepreneurs, while battling with them behind the scenes for access to the hottest start-ups. In some cases, well-connected angels are banding together to form large pools of capital, blurring the line between them and VCs.
On the other hand, these two sets of investors feed off each other. Angels need cash-rich venture capitalists to do the heavy lifting once their companies begin to mature. And venture capitalists lean on angels to take some of the risk out of newly formed start-ups, while also co-investing with them in seed deals.
Earlier this week, five venture capitalists in New York gathered at law firm Cooley LLP's office to in part discuss this phenomenon, which exists mostly in capital-light sectors such as Internet and software.
Here is an edited excerpt from that discussion, which was moderated by Cooley Partner Bo Yaghmaie and included Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures, Habib Kairouz of Rho Ventures, Rick Heitzman of FirstMark Capital, Mike Brooks of Venrock, and Drew Lipsher of Greycroft.
Yaghmaie: How do you view the rise of angel investors in New York? Some of your firms make seed investments and are directly competing with angel investors.
Wilson: I think it's terrific news for New York. That's always been the empty white space in the venture market in New York—there hasn't been enough seed money to help entrepreneurs get off the ground. That's the seed corn for everything that we do. So if companies can't get seeded then they can't build companies that we invest in.
Yaghmaie: But some of your investments are likely to fall into this [seed-stage] category.
Wilson: Well, the thing about the venture business is that every single one of these guys up here is a co-investor with us at times, and beats me on deals. That's the way the venture business works. One day we're competitiors, the next day we're co-investors. So, yeah, we're sometimes in that market doing seed investments, sometimes those people are beating us for deals, but I don't think that's a bad thing.
Lipsher: I agree with Fred. The organization of the angel community has helped the market – it's grown the number of companies getting seed-stage capital, and I think the role that an institutional investor plays versus the organized angel really comes down to style and discipline. At least from Greycroft's perspective, we are very due-diligence heavy. The "super angels" are very due-diligence light. They're willing to write a check based on much less traditional diligence than we are. But I think they play a significant role, and I think how they've organized themselves into these collectives has helped ensure that the companies are getting the benefit of a bigger number of people – whether it's introductions, strategic experience, deal experience.
Kairouz: It's healthy to have angels seeding the companies. But it's a double-edged sword in my opinion. So I'm not completely in agreement. We saw the exact same phenomenon in the late '90s – too many companies get funded that do the same thing, and that ends up destroying returns for everybody. I am concerned with some of the super angels, not as a concept, but by the number of them that are popping up all over the place. And they're replicating the same models and same ideas over and over again. Back in the '80s there were angels out there but they weren't funding 30 companies doing exactly the same thing. We're seeding these 30 companies today, and some will turn out to be very solid business models, but they'll spend half their capital fighting off the competition as opposed to focusing on new business. That's why venture returns have been underperforming for the last decade.
Heitzman: I think you're seeing a huge number of companies created at the angel inception point – probably more companies than that need to be – and we're not seeing the doorways in the end. I think in the next 12 to 24 months you're going to see a lot of those companies due to competition just churn out. If there are 30 companies funded in a sector, there might be three that get to a Series B or Series C.
Wilson: A lot of the excesses that we saw in the venture business in the late 90s are evident in that seed business today, but if you see the amount of capital in the venture business coming down, and the amount of seed going up, and the number of deals funded by venture firms go down, and the number funded by angels go up, the new funding gap is going to be post seed and pre-venture. And there are a lot of companies aren't going to make it across that gap. That's where the death is going to happen.
Yaghmaie: What would you have me say to an entrepreneur that says, "I've got two or three super angels willing to fund me, or I have an institution that's chasing this round. The super angels are telling me that if I go with the institution, I'm going to be setting high-multiple return bars that will alter the path that I'm going to take with this company and create a much higher hurdle for me and liquidity."
Wilson: Entrepreneurs should pick investors who have the same exit expectations they do. If you want to sell a company for $10 million take money from people that want to see an exit at $10 million. If you want to see an exit at a billion dollars take money from people who want to see an exit at a billion dollars. That simple rule will solve all those problems.
Yaghmaie: In the Web 2.0 model, the money is moving further downstream into seed rounds. For those of you who historically invest in Series A rounds, how do you deal with the challenge – do you go downstream and play in the seed world in order to compete, or do you hang tight?
Brooks: At the end of the day, we try to fund big ideas going after big markets. You can find a very attractive seed deal, and you can compete with angels, but you're looking for companies that will be spending money and need the kind of capital that venture firms can provide. So from our standpoint, while we've come across a very interesting ad-tech deal, for example, a lot of these deals are ones we don't think we want to invest in because they're not going to be big enough. We'd rather take a big swing at the fences. Angel people can't fund those all the way through to the end.
Lipsher – The acronym we as investors always talk about is FNAC – feature, not a company. A lot of what we're seeing at these very early stages – are we investing in a company, or a little feature? If an entrepreneur wants to build a great feature that can be sold for $5 million or $10 million, that's a nice business for somebody. But we're really looking for companies, not features.
Readers, please add to the discussion – what do you think about the angels versus venture capital debate?

THE US has warned it would withdraw financial and security support from Afghanistan if anyone tried to take power illegally, as supporters of a presidential candidate rallied in Kabul for a parallel government.
Preliminary results showed Ashraf Ghani, a former World Bank official, won the June 14 second round, but his rival Abdullah Abdullah immediately rejected the outcome, saying the vote was marred by widespread fraud.
Underscoring the magnitude of the crisis, Mr Abdullah said US Secretary of State John Kerry would visit Kabul on Friday.
Loading article content
And the politiical crisis came as at least 16 people, including four Czech Nato soldiers, were killed in a Taliban suicide attack near a clinic in eastern Afghanistan.
Thousands of Abdullah supporters gathered in Kabul yesterday, demanding their leader form a parallel cabinet and unilaterally assert his own rule - a dangerous move that would further fracture the fragile country.
Mr John Kerry said there was no justification for violence or "extra-constitutional measures".
He added: "I have noted reports of protests in Afghanistan and of suggestions of a 'parallel government' with the gravest concern.
"Any action to take power by extra-legal means will cost Afghanistan the financial and security support of the US and the international community."
Afghanistan is heavily reliant on foreign donors to fund everything from building roads and paying school teachers to security. The US pays the lion's share of all international aid.
Observers fear a stand-off between Mr Abdullah and Mr Ghani could plunge Afghanistan into disorder, with no clear leader in a country already beset by deep-rooted ethnic divisions.
Mr Abdullah has accused President Hamid Karzai, who is stepping down after 12 years in power, of helping rig the vote in favour of Mr Ghani, describing it as a "coup" against the people.
The stand-off over the vote has quashed hopes for a smooth transition of power in Afghanistan, a concern for the West as most US-led forces withdraw from the country this year. There are concerns, however, about how much Mr Abdullah, who is popular among the powerful Tajik community in the north, would be able to control his supporters if the crisis escalated.
At the rally in Kabul, Mr Abdullah, visibly flustered by the size of the gathering, faced a roar of slogans demanding he immediately announce his own cabinet, telling supporters to be patient.
He said: "We are the winner of this round of elections without any doubt. The people of Afghanistan call on me to announce my government today.
"We cannot ignore this call. Once again I ask you to give me a few days days to consult and speak."
Away from the city's centre, dozens of Abdullah supporters tore down a Karzai portrait at Kabul's international airport.
The Independent Election Commission announced on Monday Mr Ghani had won the second round with 56.44 per cent of the vote, according to preliminary results. The tally might change when the final official numbers come out on July 22.
Mr Ghani is backed mainly by Pashtun tribes in the south and east of the country.

ELYRIA — Both prosecutors and defense attorneys will remain involved with death row inmate Stanley Jalowiec's efforts to win a new trial after Visiting Judge Virgil Lee Sinclair rejected requests from the two sides to remove each other from the case.
Defense attorneys had wanted Lorain County Prosecutor Dennis Will and his staff, including Assistant County Prosecutor Tony Cillo, kicked off the case because they contended that prosecutors were withholding information they believe will help Jalowiec.
But Cillo argued in court Tuesday that he was turning over information as he gets it in the case.
For instance, he said Jalowiec's attorneys have complained that he only gave them a partial tape of Michelle Arroyo, a witness in the case. But Cillo said that while police were interviewing Arroyo they turned off one of the two tape recorders they were using and left a second one running. The full tape was given to Jalowiec's lawyers, he said.
"They act as if I'm trying to hide something when I've given it to them," Cillo said.
Cillo also rejected allegations that Michael Smith, a key witness against Jalowiec in the 1994 killing of police informant Ronald Lally, was bribed with a hotel room and help relocating to Arizona. He said it would be akin to saying that defense lawyers bribed a witness when they bought him Chinese food while interviewing him.
Smith, Cillo said, was put up in a hotel room with protection because there had been threats against his life.
Cillo had wanted legal intern Elliot Slosar, who works for the Chicago-based Exoneration Project, removed from the case because of what he described as inaccurate affidavits signed by some witnesses in the case.
Slosar and Lorain private investigator Gerald "Butch" Mielcarek both were involved in gathering the affidavits.
Tara Thompson, one of Jalowiec's attorneys, has defended her team's investigation.
Sinclair also has scheduled a hearing for Nov. 4 in which he intends to hear key evidence that he will use to determine if Jalowiec is entitled to a new trial.
Jalowiec has argued that he wasn't present when Lally was killed on the eve of a drug trial in which he was scheduled to testify against Michael Smith's brother, Daniel Smith, and their father, Raymond Smith.
According to police and prosecutors, Michael Smith, Raymond Smith and Jalowiec were all in the car when Lally was taken to a Cleveland cemetery where he was beaten, shot and run over.
Michael Smith was a cooperating witness, while Raymond Smith and Daniel Smith were both tried for murder. Daniel Smith, who was accused of orchestrating the killing, was acquitted while Raymond Smith and Jalowiec were convicted and given the death penalty. Raymond Smith's death sentence was later commuted to life in prison after a judge determined he was mentally retarded and couldn't be executed.
Lawyers for Jalowiec have argued that police and prosecutorial misconduct led to their client's wrongful conviction.
Thompson said that the witnesses she wants to testify will prove Jalowiec was at his mother's house when Lally was killed.
"This is evidence that goes to the question at the heart of this case and that is whether Stan Jalowiec was in the car," she said.

The interim bantamweight champion may have more submissions to his credit than strike-based finishes but anyone who saw him pick apart Urijah Faber to win gold knows Barao is the real deal when it comes to stand-up. He's fast, picks excellent angles, and packs an arsenal of brutal leg kicks as might be expected from a Nova Uniao fighter. Contender Eddie Wineland is no slouch when it comes to striking either, but the brilliant Brazilian is on a different level entirely.
All UFC events are bound to feature at least one scrapper associated specifically with stand-up based on his/her ability being technically sound, unique, powerful, or some combination of the three. However, when it comes to UFC 165 there are a plethora of pugilists who's striking has been an important component of consistently coming away from fights with a victory in tow. They aren't all at the top of the card, but at least one is… (Photos by USA Today Sports Images)

We were honored to have Rick Clunn in our offices yesterday. If you do not know Rick Clunn has won the Bassmaster Classic 4 times in his career. We are glad to have such a Legend become part of the Wright & McGill Team.
During Rick's first visit to Wright and McGill we went over many new product ideas. Rick sat down with our rod and reel manager Al Noraker to discuss his line of rods. Rick knows exactly what he wants from a rod and Al is the perfect person to meet his demands. Rick talked with our TroKar manager Matt Grey on some new hook designs. After working with all of the product managers Rick went to the country store and worked as a sales man. These two guys were surprised when Rick Clunn himself came out to explain his crank bait rods.
The whole company enjoyed having Rick and his family here. He spent some time in almost every department. After a tour in the factory Rick had some extra time to sign some autographs with his kids by his side.

A St. Augustine man was arrested Sunday after attempting to load a gun with a "cop killer" bullet after being pulled over, according to the St. Augustine Police Department.
While on patrol early Sunday morning, Officer Eric Stevens saw a Mazda speeding and swerving on S.R. 16. The vehicle then turned south on U.S. 1 and sped up. Stevens turned on his overhead emergency lights, at which point the car spun a U-turn. He turned on his siren and pursued. The car did a U-turn again, but eventually pulled off on the shoulder, according to the report.
Stevens approached the car and ordered the driver to show him his hands. The driver refused to show his right hand. The officer then drew his firearm, the report said, then saw that the driver had a semi-automatic handgun. He ordered the man to drop the weapon.
The driver then tried to load a magazine in the gun, according to the officer's statement. As the man was trying to load the gun, Stevens opened the car door and pulled him out and onto the ground. He handcuffed the suspect and put him in the back of the patrol car.
A search of the vehicle turned up a Glock 10 mm and two magazines. A magazine found in the glove compartment contained hollow-point rounds. The magazine found with the gun contained bullets known as "cop killers," which are Teflon-coated bullets that earned their name because of their ability to penetrate body armor.
Another officer, Cpl. Jason Etheredge, arrived on the scene. He opened the back door of the patrol car to interview the suspect. At that time, he found the suspect out of his handcuffs and reaching for his boot, according to the report.
Etheridge drew his gun and ordered the suspect to show him his hands and step away from out of the vehicle.
As the man stepped out, Stevens took him to the ground, causing the suspect to strike his face on the concrete, cutting the area above his left eye. The officers called for rescue vehicles. They arrived and transported the suspect to be treated.
In his report, Stevens wrote: "At the time of my stop, when I observed the handgun, I was in fear of my life. ... I believe the defendant had the ability to use his weapon on me."
James Smith, 41, of St. Augustine, was charged with driving while his license is suspended or revoked, fleeing or attempting to flee from an officer and aggravated assault on a law-enforcement officer. Police records show that he has had a total of nine suspensions on his driver's license.
He was taken to St. Johns County Jail.

Gov. Rick Snyder achieved one of his top priorities in mid-2012 when he signed a deal with Canada to build a new bridge between Detroit and Windsor, a project known as the New International Trade Crossing. But the motoring public needs to be patient. Huge infrastructure projects like this don't happen overnight.
Official documents reveal that building the NITC could take as long as seven years, from early approvals to final ribbon-cutting. That means that the new bridge would open to traffic around 2020. In their public statements, the U.S. and Canadian project teams have called a seven-year schedule "aggressive but achievable."

Paul McGowan seemingly set to remain at St Mirren
St Mirren are confident Paul McGowan will be on their books next season, with a new contract set to be signed.
Last Updated: 01/06/13 1:23pm
The highly-rated playmaker had appeared to be heading towards the exits at one stage, with clubs in England believed to be keen on acquiring his services.
McGowan has, however, been talked around and Saints boss Danny Lennon is optimistic regarding the chances of fresh terms being agreed.
He said in the Daily Record: "Things are looking promising and hopefully in the next 24 hours Paul will have committed himself to the club.
"It's great news because most St Mirren fans were resigned to losing him and I must admit I was resigned to losing him as well.
"But he called me two or three nights ago and we arranged a meeting that lasted a couple of hours.
"My assistant, Tommy Craig, was involved and it went very well. Paul told us he's committed to us and we're delighted to hear that.
"Everything has been done verbally and hopefully the positive news will be confirmed very soon."

Nonunion theater performances don't get as much love as they should. Here are five auditions for the nonunion actors looking to get themselves on stage!
"Breaking Legs" is seeking talent for the supporting role of Tino, a 55–62-year-old mafia type. Submissions are being sought from New York, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania. This performance at the Hunterdon Hills Playhouse in New Jersey plays $125, plus housing and car on premises.
The Vox Lumiere is looking for lead singers in the Los Angeles region. This new presentation of "Phantom" seeks "young youthful-looking, sexy" male and female actors who can preferably read music. Rehearsals begin in August with a Sept. 19 opening. To apply email headshots, résumés, MP3s or links with singing samples to firstname.lastname@example.com.
This paid production is on a nationwide-worldwide search for a "male singer with excellent baritone vocal range" for this show about Christmas in Ireland, told with music, traditional dance, and Irish soul. Rehearsals begin mid-July and extend through Nov. 2 before touring 11 performing arts centers in different states until Dec. 21. The gig offers a weekly salary, accommodation, travel, and per diem. When you apply, be sure to note your weekend and tour schedule availability along with the basics (résumé, contact info, etc.).
Who hasn't been waiting for a show about the horrorcore rap group, Insane Clown Posse, and their legions of fans, who call themselves Juggalos. This dark comedy follows Ice Pete, a young Juggalo from down south who has to call upon his fellow Juggalos to help get his grandmother a new kidney. "At its core, this play is about the human struggle against the immovable obstacles of poverty and abuse, and the drastic, though often destructive, measures one may take in order to overcome." Casting all leads and supporting roles, these auditions will be held in New York City on July 10, with mid to late August performances at The Robert Moss Theater.
If you ever wanted to play an apartment, Justin Timberlake, or Harrison Ford, the opportunity for you has arrived, dear friend. "Crumble" is about a mother and a daughter coping with the loss of their patriarch, their nagging apartment (pissed about being allowed to go to ruin), and their visitations from their respective celebrity crushes. Auditions will be held July 12 in New York.
