The road to the World Cup will get some heavy use over the next few weeks, as teams face key qualifiers for South Africa 2010.
For some -- barring complete collapse -- this weekend and midweek qualifiers are really victory laps before official qualification.
The Netherlands has already qualified, with England, Spain and Germany having one foot on a plane to South Africa.
But for others, the next few qualifiers will make or break the dream of a trip to Johannesburg.
The most intriguing clash in Europe involves Denmark and Portugal. Denmark is close to qualifying for the tournament.
Portugal, a nation that boasts some of the top players in the world including Cristiano Ronald, has little choice but to win. It sits third in the group. A loss to Denmark puts a boot on their throats and may well make South Africa nothing more than a tourist destination for them.
Greece and Switzerland will square off for first place in their group.
Italy is away to Georgia, a team that is last in their group. But it's a delicate trip considering the state of the Italian national team. The defending world champions lead their group but can't distance themselves from the pesky Irish.
The Italians have shown precious little that would indicate they are ready to repeat as world champions. But that's hardly unusual given that's they often enter a tournament playing poorly.
France is also in a battle for its life. It is chasing Serbia for top spot, hoping to avoid having to play to go into a playoff round with out second-placed teams for qualify. They trail Serbia by four points with a game in hand but there is no confidence in this French team.
The qualifier that has captured the imagination of the soccer world is thousands of miles across the ocean.
Argentina and Brazil will square off in Argentina.
The top four teams in South American automatically qualify for the World Cup. The fifth-place team must go through a playoff round.
Brazil is first, Argentina, coached by Diego Maradona is fourth. It is a vital match for Argentina, a team that has suffered through some humiliating loses with Maradona at the helm including a 6-1 thumping by Bolivia.
If the battle on the pitch is anything like the battle of words before this game, it should be an epic contest.
The problem is the words come from the mouths of non-combatants. Arguably the two best players of all-time, Pele and Maradona have been jousting before the match.
Maradona told Radio Palermo that Argentina would win "because we have better players."
Maradona also said he had finished ahead of Brazil's Pele in a poll to determine the best player of all time.
Pele responded saying: "We already know who Maradona is . . . What he says isn't worth taking into consideration."
And so it goes.
Someone should tell these guys that their time has come and gone.
That is one of the biggest problems for Argentina. The hiring of Maradona almost a year ago surprised everyone. Since then, we've heard at varying times how Maradona wished he were still a player. He would then be able to show everyone how the game of football could still be played.
Maradona's ego and runaway mouth has not made things easier for Argentina. It has created some division within the team and the knives are out for him.
Maradona has been able to survive for a number of reason, not the least of which is no one wants to humiliate a legend. But while a loss to Brazil won't spell the end of Argentina's chances for a World Cup berth, it might make the hotseat for Maradona too hot to sit on.

Welcome to ehealthforum,
It is difficult to comment on the underlying cause for the sharp stabbing pelvic/lower abdominal pain that you describe without examining you and going ahead with further evaluation. Possibilities include ovarian cysts, pelvic adhesions, endometriosis, adenomyosis, PID, endometrioma, etc. The exact cause can only be made out after careful evaluation. Visit your doctor/gynecologist for further evaluation to look for the underlying cause. Treatment as appropriate (based on examination findings and investigations results) would be started to help you control the symptoms. Be in regular monitoring and follow-up with your treating doctor/gynecologist and report any new/abnormal symptoms immediately. Drink plenty of water. Take adequate rest. Maintain healthy diet and lifestyle.
Take care.

Alpha Protocol - Preview, Video Interview @ GameSpot
GameSpot has a preview of Alpha Protocol that covers familiar ground, as well as a video interview with Sega's Tim Ernst. The video is the better of the two and while there's little new material, it does provide a decent overview - although this is the first time I've heard about the actual background story. From the preview:
While developers told us that you can play the entire game without killing a single enemy, it seems like combat will be plentiful. The game is played from a third-person perspective, and when aiming your weapon, you'll have a targeting reticle pop up--the longer you aim the reticle without firing, the more accurate your shot will be. If you use stealth wisely, you'll be able to sneak up on enemies and take them out without even firing a shot. This being a spy game, you can also use the game's plethora of gadgets to aid you in the action--things like electro-magnetic pulse grenades, radio mimics, incendiary grenades, and, of course, the ubiquitous first aid kits.

Setting: Modern

Platform: PC, Xbox 360, PS3

In this debut performance as principal conductor of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Thomas Søndergård made his mark with players and audience alike in what will be remembered as a joyous night of music-making.
To open his programme with Magnus Lindberg's EXPO – written for Alan Gilbert's debut as music director of the New York Philharmonic in 2009 – was in itself a bold statement of intent. An elegant and witty celebration of orchestral virtuosity, its series of surges towards climactic peaks defies expectation by ending quietly with a wry smile. Søndergård did it deftly, and went on to deliver the more exuberant humour of Richard Strauss's Till Eulenspiegel with plenty of flourish.
His fellow Dane Inger Dam-Jensen, a soprano who won the Cardiff Singer of the World competition in 1993, was the soloist in two sequences of songs. The first by Grieg included Våren (Spring), more familiar as one of his Elegiac Melodies for string orchestra. Jensen brought to it an artless beauty. In her three songs by Strauss, she showed just why her interpretations of this composer are acclaimed: the colouring and expressivity of the words were subtly realised, with the bloom of her voice at its most radiant in the last song, Cäcilie.
Søndergård proved a sympathetic accompanist. His conducting style combines lyricism with discipline and he has a touch of that indefinable element, charisma. Best augury for his period of tenure, however, was his handling of Sibelius's Fifth Symphony, where the orchestra played their hearts out for him and the silences between the final, massive chords bristled with electricity. Long may they honeymoon.

UN chief welcomes accord between the two Koreas to reopen the Kaesong Industrial ComplexListen /
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has welcomed the agreement between North and South Korea on the reopening of an industrial park run by the two countries.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea reportedly shut down the Kaesong Industrial Complex in April as tensions with its neighbour in the south rose.
Following months of negotiations, representatives of the two Koreas reached an agreement in Kaesong in North Korea on Wednesday.
UN Deputy Spokesperson, Eduardo Del Buey says the Secretary-General is encouraged by "this positive development."
"The Secretary-General has stated that the Complex is a successful example of the cooperation which has served as a bridge between the two Koreas. He hopes that its operation will be normalized as quickly as possible and that it faces no further interruptions to its work in the future. The Secretary-General also hopes that the continuous operation of the complex will serve as a catalyst for other constructive steps, thus building mutual trust and promoting inter-Korean relations." (23")
Mr. Ban reiterates what he says is the paramount importance of inter-Korean dialogue and cooperation for peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, adding that as Secretary-General he will do his best towards this end.

Legal Question in Business Law in Florida
I have a lawn maintenance business and on September 1, 2011 was fired by association after 7 plus years working under the same agreement since 2004. The agreement ran May 1-April 30 of each year since it has been in effect. Only change was association gave me extra money three years ago, however, have been working under same agreement in which 29 cuts averaged over the year and the extra cuts were based on year agreement. Association president has been paying late for years and as of now still owns for July and August Maintenance as well as trimming of trees, and the extra cuts. I told him on 9/1/2011 that he said that there was no contract per his attorney and that he does not owe for the extra cuts and tuff shit. What also transpired was in April he called a meeting. When I went to meeting a board member from another association that I have different agreement with all of a sudden pulls up shows up to same meeting. Turns out that association president that fired me was talking to and to this day is still talking I believe to different association. Also turns out he told association that he was firing me and that they knew at there meeting August 31, 2011. Question is several people have told me that I should file police report on outstanding balance to get it on record. Also under Florida Sunshine Laws can I file complaint with state. Also should I send certified billings to all board members since association president pretty much acted on his own and still owes me 9,000.00. Another board member I know form association had no knowledge that I was being fired until I told him. Thank you, Alan

Taking Root
On March 31, Hollywood Theatre will screen, Taking Root, a documentary about Wangari Maathai and the Green Belt Movement. Kenyan born, educated in the US and Nairobi, Dr. Maathai was the first environmental worker to win a Nobel Prize, besting Al Gore by 3 years.
FOT has been inspired by the work of the Green Belt Movement – the backbone of their work focuses on planting trees. The organization has planted over 50 million trees to date.
FOT is equally inspired by the generosity of Hollywood Theatre, who will be donating half the proceeds of the screening to help us plant more trees.

WEA Urges Prayers as Lebanese Christians Face 'Perilous Time'
A global network of evangelicals is urging its members to pray for Christians in Lebanon who are facing a "perilous time" as fighting continues between the Lebanese army and the Islamist militants.
Whenever Sunnis and Shiites fight each other, Christians and Jews suffer enormously, noted the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA)'s Religious Liberty Commission (RLC) in a recent bulletin to its members, primarily because Islamic fundamentalist zeal flares up.
The commission went on to highlight the dilemma facing Christians, which was succinctly put by Lebanon's Maronite Catholic leader, Archbishop Beshara Rai of Byblos.
"If the Sunnis and Shiites agree, their agreement would come at the expense of the Christians," Rai stated. The archbishop believes that Sunni and Shiite leaders wanting to minimize intra-Islam conflict will seek to unite the Muslim sects against a common "enemy" – Israel, Christians, the United States and U.S.-backed regimes – to advance the common goal of Islamization.
"And if they disagree, the Christians become their victims," Rai added.
Islamist militants fired Katyusha rockets at Lebanese villages on Friday, according to one of the latest reports by Reuters, and security sources are informing media that the military death toll now stands at 10 with 35 soldiers wounded. So far 218 people have been killed in the conflict between the army and the Islamist militants.
The RLC is urging for prayers specifically for:
• God to use the turmoil to deliver many people from darkness, opening their ears and hearts to the gospel and drawing them close to Himself.
• the Holy Spirit to give great spiritual wisdom, understanding and courage to all Lebanon's Christian leaders – religious, political and social – so that they will be united and enabled to lead according to God's will and for His glory.
• the comforting presence of Jesus Christ to be known by faith and experience by all Lebanon's Christians, bringing peace, love, joy and revival to the Church.
• God to protect His children, meet their needs, and preserve His Church.

Last year, the Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada brought its World of Girls Expo to Cashman Center for the first time. This year, the organization is bringing it back Aug. 31, and it plans for it to be bigger and better.
"We'd been doing a smaller version for four or five years at our own facility," said Emily Smith, chief marketing and development officer for Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada. "With the help of the 51s (baseball team), we were able to make it bigger and bring it to Cashman. Last year, we had over 35,000 people at the event."
Chuck Johnson, general manager of the 51s, downplayed his organization's role.
"We're just helping out with our contacts at Cashman Center to facilitate use of the center for the event," Johnson said. "We have a really strong history of partnership with the Girl Scouts."
The event is set to be divided into separate "worlds," such as "Healthy Living World" and "Environmental World." Each world is sponsored by a local business. There also will be vendor booths throughout the exposition.
"We ask our vendors to do a hands-on activity, something the kids can take away," Smith said. "It's not just a matter of grabbing a flier and moving on."
The event is set to fill half of Cashman Center, 850 Las Vegas Blvd. North, and the organizers plan to triple the number of stages for speakers and entertainers.
"In addition to the main stage, we're adding two cafe-style stages," Smith said. "One will be a leadership cafe with different woman speakers who are in leadership roles in the community. The other will be a financial literacy cafe, which is more geared towards teens."
Smith said that although the free event is open to everyone, organizers are hoping to bring in more teens this year and give them tangible resources they can take with them.
"I'm very excited about our 'Financial Literacy World,' " Smith said. "Teens and their families will have the opportunity to learn about how to get college scholarships and how to save. They'll learn how to establish good credit and get their first credit card."
The guests and speakers are set to include Assemblywoman Irene Bustamante Adams, Congresswoman Dina Titus and Hilary Billings, Miss Nevada United States, who is also a travel blogger on thenomadgrad.com.
"Mad Science will be there, and we'll have entertainment and celebrity characters," said Renee Guglielmetti, marketing and development director for Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada. "It's the premier event for girls to try something new, take on a challenge and find out more about all the cool things in Southern Nevada."
The World of Girls Expo is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 31. Admission is free. For more information, visit girlscoutsnv.org and click on "Special Events." Tickets for the 51s game set to follow the event are $7 on the website and include a 51s baseball cap and admission to a meet-and-greet with the players scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m.

Looks like another season for pre-premiere injuries...
'Dancing' contestant Tom DeLay injured
by Kate Ward
Future Dancing With the Stars contestant Tom DeLay has injured his foot, according to his Twitter account. The former House Majority Leader posted this message today: "Old age is catching up to me, may have a stress fracture in my foot. no worries, it'll take more than that to keep me off the dance floor!" A rep for the show confirms the politician has a foot injury, and that doctors will have the final say on whether or not the politician can indeed return to the dance floor in time for season 9's Sept. 21 premiere. "What he says on his Tweet about wanting to continue is very much the case," the rep says. "We've had folks with this sort of injury before be able to go forward."

Cold skin, warm heart
The geniuses at Pixar have done it again. After the huge successes of Toy Story, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles and last summer's Ratatouille, they have created another gawp-worthy animation, WALL-E.
Bearing visual and aural parallels to Kubrick's Space Odyssey 2001, WALL-E is ground-breaking and pushes the CG genre to a higher level. It bravely abandons the usual adorable animal characters in favour of mountainous skyscrapers of rubbish, a tiny robot and a cockroach.
Protagonist WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) is a tiny, worn-out robot with no purpose other than collecting, compacting and piling rubbish. From the absolute desolation, we learn that the lonesome robot is the last one of its kind on the planet.
The first one-third of the movie is in utter silence apart from the scratchy music from a video of Hello, Dolly!, which makes WALL-E ache for love. But when EVE (Extra-terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator), a futuristic and elegant robot, lands on Earth to search for evidence of life, life as WALL-E knows it changes utterly.
Falling in love at first sight, WALL-E's innocent and endless efforts to fawn over EVE adds a warmth to the film. This romantic element comes at exactly the right time to ease the audience out of the suffocating solitude of the first part.
From the minute WALL-E boards the luxurious hotel-like spaceship the Axiom in pursuit of EVE, the mood of the movie turns 180 degrees. The solitude is replaced by the clamour of a futuristic city, which fills the screen with a dazzling variety of robots, speedy transportation system and carefree humans.
Life on board is fascinating: people lead effortless lives, communicating through paper-thin monitors, being moved by computerised armchairs and receiving such attentive service from robots they don't have to move a muscle.
But it's soon revealed 700 years of this comfortable existence has caused their limbs to degenerate to the stage where they can barely walk unaided.
Insanely hilarious plots seldom succeed in getting the audience to think, but too much irony or satire creates boredom and even bitterness. WALL-E strikes exactly the right balance. It is both funny and pathetic to see the human captain struggling to walk in the final 'fight' scene.
WALL-E is more than just a cartoon. Underneath the jaw-dropping animation and romantic liaison between two robots is a subtle green message. Instead of lecturing you on how urgent it is to stop producing waste, it shows you in a matter-of-fact way the disastrous consequences if we don't change our consumer behaviour without delay.
WALL-E is showing now

TISCI TIME: Whether just passing through or especially in town for the occasion, a roster of bright young things took in the Givenchy show Friday evening. "We didn't even know it was fashion week," said The XX's Romy Madley Croft. "We're playing a concert in Evreux, about an hour out of Paris, in four hours' time, and when we found out [about the show] we thought it would be nice to come."
U.K.-based magician Dynamo, who was sharing a card trick with dancer and model Brahim Zaibat, said he was in town especially for fashion, something he would like to get more involved in. "I'd like to see people levitating down the catwalk, instead of walking," quipped Dynamo, adding that he counted creating his own men's line and working with Chanel among his ambitions.
Sporting a brightly printed Givenchy men's shirt, Sky Ferreira said she was heading home to the U.S. next week to celebrate her 21st birthday. "It's a big thing over there turning 21. I know it's not here," said the model, actress and singer, who has been recording new material in Paris and Berlin.
Spanish actor Quim Gutierrez, who stars in Givenchy's fall 2013 ad campaign, said he has just finished working on Cécile Telerman's movie "Les Yeux Jaunes des Crocodiles" alongside Emmanuelle Béart and Julie Depardieu, due for release next April.
Other front-row faces included American rapper Dominic Lord, performance and makeup artist Boychild, design duo M/M and Ben Gorham, founder of the Byredo fragrance brand.

The Federal Elections Commission cleared the way June 11th for political campaigns to collect small contributions from mobile phone users through text messages. Both presidential campaigns applauded, as did a gaggle of grassroots groups. But phone companies aren't ready to applaud just yet. At least, not until some of their concerns are addressed.
I asked Ann Ravel, Chair of the California Fair Political Practices Commission, just what wireless carriers are worried about.
"They have expressed both to us and also to the Federal Elections Commission a couple of concerns. One of them is they say they don't want users to think they are endorsing a particular political campaign that might be odious. But it seems that now their bigger concern is they fear they're going to be held liable if some of the campaign laws are violated."
Would anyone presume AT&T, Verizon or any other phone company supports a group just because they allow customers to text their money to it? Continue reading

Valentine's Day And The Story Behind It.
Well it seems I might have to revamp my feelings on Valentine's Day after all. I did a little bit of research(really quite minimal) and found an actual romantic story behind one of my most disliked holidays.
According to one article on Wikipedia(and you know that they know it all):
St. Valentine's Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. The most popular martyrology associated with Saint Valentine was that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire; during his imprisonment, he is said to have healed the daughter of his jailer Asterius. Legend states that before his execution he wrote "from your Valentine" as a farewell to her.
Now how romantic is that? Not the execution of course, that's not a whole lot of fun, but the whole story. You can click here to read more on Valentine's Day history. I am still not a big fan of Valentine's Day (other than its my son's birthday, which makes it awesome) but I think that it gives me at least a little better perspective on it. Do you like Valentine's Day? What's your most disliked holiday and why? Comment below and let me know if I'm the only strange one out there!

West Virginia has a small minority population, and that could be one reason why the state's businesses, particularly those in the Charleston area, don't see much diversity in the work force.
But the Charleston Area Alliance is attempting to change that.
Through a new initiative, Inclusion=Innovation, the alliance is working to change misconceptions about the state to draw in a more diverse work force. However, they face a "chicken and egg" problem.
Jeff James of Mythology Marketing said it's hard for the area to attract minority populations because it doesn't have the right infrastructure.
"We have a bit of a chicken and egg problem," James said. "We don't have the diversity, we don't have the infrastructure, so we can't grow it. It's kind of a circular pattern."
Mythology Marketing works with the Charleston Area Alliance on the Inclusion=Innovation initiative through the MAGNET Project. As part of the project, Mythology conducted research among minority professionals both inside and outside the Kanawha Valley, as well as majority business professionals and recruiters. Mythology presented its findings to the alliance at a meeting Dec. 19. Mythology's research highlighted just a few of the issues Kanawha Valley businesses face in recruiting minority professionals.
"There is a significant lack of minority business infrastructure assets, if you will," James said. "Social, personal care—in other words, the majority community, the white community, does not understand or see these things. Those aren't the hair care places we might go, the fashion boutiques we might go. We just don't think about it or realize things are missing. But when you talk to professionals in different categories, it's one of the top things we hear. We lack the stores, we lack the hair care businesses."
Although the Kanawha Valley is more culturally diverse than most parts of West Virginia, James said many people outside of the Mountain State don't realize that. When asked, they had no idea of Charleston's image. On top of that, Mythology noted a perceived level of apathy among business leaders. According to the survey, about 52 percent of respondents said they have neutral feelings about recruiting minorities. Not only do these issues affect the recruitment of minority professionals, but young talent in general.
"One interesting connection here is the issues we're facing in the region from a diversity perspective are in many ways similar to the same issue we're facing in recruiting young talent in general," James said. "We've heard a lot from Generation Charleston. The issues of young talent have been elevated much higher in our state. There have been some thing that have been done that are very positive. But the issue of housing, job opportunities, amenities, are almost like a reflection of what we've heard from diverse professionals. They're very similar."
According to Mythology's research, 44 percent of Kanawha Valley business owners said attracting minority talent is "somewhat challenging."
But not all hope is lost, James said. Understanding the area's assets and building on them can help the area make progress in recruiting minority professionals. Many business leaders say recruiting minorities is a top priority.
"This is encouraging," he said. "These are people who have tuned in to the business impact of diversity. Diversity equals better results."
Ned Rugeley is a recruiter for Spilman, Thomas and Battle in Charleston. He said Mythology's research backs up what he hears from the law students he attempts to recruit.
Spilman makes it a point to recruit minorities to its offices. Rugeley said that's partly because large corporations, which tend to have diverse work forces, want to see that reflected in the law firm that represents their interests.
"One of the things I did was to expand the areas in which we recruit," he said.
Rugeley travels to 10 law schools in five states and attends three job fairs per year aimed specifically at minority students. This not only gives Rugeley the opportunity to meet with and potentially recruit diverse professionals, but it also gives him an opportunity to chance some perceptions about West Virginia.
"It's not that we have a negative image among the people we interview. It's the fact that we have no image," Rugeley said. "It's the fact that people don't know West Virginia is even a state. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten the question, 'Charleston. Is that close to Richmond?' And these are people who have gone to law school. You would think they would have more cognizance about what's going on. We see ourselves as part of the mid-east region. We're close to DC, we're close to Pittsburgh, we're close to these other places. But we seem to be invisible from the perspective of those other places."
He said that perception isn't necessarily a problem because it gives him an opportunity to change their perceptions.
But minorities in the workplace also can change the perception of their employers. John Gianola of Ernst & Young gave a good example of an employee from China. On a snowy day, Gianola asked the employee if the government canceled school because of snow in his province in China. The employee laughed and told him they start school early and give the students shovels so they can clear the sidewalks on their way to school. It's that kind of perspective, Gianola said, that makes having a diverse work force worthwhile.
"What occurred to me is that the perspective he brings to my team is totally different than the folks who have grown up and gone to an Ivy League school," Gianola said. "He's had experiences that bring different perspectives."
Ernst & Young has worked for years to increase the diversity in its work force. However, Gianola noted it's hard to get other businesses to join in that effort.
"We still have difficulty," he said. "It's not so much in attracting individual candidates. Here's where the difficulty is. The difficulty is in attracting other businesses to join us in this initiative."

Michael's Feedback on 4-Day China Tour
|Client: Michael (Male)
|Age: 60-75
|Nationality: United States
|Tour Date: September 30, 2011 - October 3, 2011
|FeedBack Date: September 29, 2011
Hi Angela,
I am writing to commend one of your employees, Mr. Michael Hu, who has worked closely with me to prepare for a trip to Xi'an next week. Mr. Hu readily answered my questions, efficiently made the changes I requested, and made the entire planning process work very smoothly. We are looking forward to our visit!
We will be in China for several months, at Bin Hai College in Tianjin, and when we wish to arrange further explorations in China we will certainly contact China Highlights first!
Michael and Marya
Hello Michael
I have already covered most of the questions in the survey which I sent through the guide. Let me add a few comments, however;
The terracotta warriors are the highlight of any trip to Xian, perhaps even to China (for me, ranks with the Wall, Forbidden City, the Shanghai Bund at night). I was bowled over by the Famen temple complex, both old and new. The new temple is simply overwhelming in its size and beauty, one of the great religious sites of the world (and I have been to many of them in Europe).
Our time in Xian was packed; we really had very little free time. We would like to have spent some time in the markets, but that can wait.
Our guide arranged for us to attend the Tang Dynasty performance and steamed dumpling Banquet. Marvelous--both the performance and the food. The driver even met us at 10 PM for the ride back to the hotel--quite above and beyond what we expected.
Xian is overwhelming to a first time visitor; we have been to China 3 times in the past, but Xian is a place unlike any of the other cities we have visited and we will return. We currently live near Tianjin, a very modern and wonderful city, but it lacks the cultural value of Xian.
We absolutely would recommend your company to anyone travelling in or to China. The value is outstanding and, based upon this first experience, your employees are first rate.
Again, thanks for your help.

Most days, John Head is a financial analyst at Washington Savannah River Co. But there are those times when he likes to run, lift weights and ride his bike.
From Dec. 7-10, Mr. Head will combine his number-crunching abilities with his physical prowess during the World Team Challenge in Malta, an island nation in the Mediterranean south of Sicily.
"I'm pretty pumped," said Mr. Head, 45.
He leaves for Malta on Saturday, along with other team members of Washington Group International, the parent company of Washington Savannah River Co., which operates the Savannah River Site.
The team qualified for the World Team Challenge by finishing second last month in the BG U.S. Challenge held in Roanoke, Va. Members competed against about 50 corporate teams. Team members are Rudy Bellinger and Paula Bowman, of Denver, Colo.; Susie Ferrara and Mr. Head, of Aiken; Joseph W. Ebert, of West Valley, N.Y.; Josh Gerard, of Olmsted, Ill.; and Juergen Lunkwitz and Mike Kapuscinski, of Princeton, N.J.
The contests are part of the Intelligent Sport series, which tests competitors' physical abilities with running, kayak and bike races. In addition, there are problem-solving tests that must be completed to advance through parts of the course.
"You really have to work together as a team," said Ms. Ferrara, an alternate on the team. "You lose a little weight along the way, which is an added benefit," she joked.
As an alternate, Ms. Ferrara won't be attending the world event.
Teams are urged to select members with specialized skills. Mr. Head, for example, is an avid bike rider and Ms. Ferrara participates in marathons. Mr. Head also runs three to four times a week and lifts weights.
"I've been running and lifting weights since high school," said Mr. Head, who lives in Aiken and has worked at SRS for 21 years.
Of course, teams have to use their brains, too.
At the U.S. challenge last month, the Washington Group team had to construct a mechanism that could catapult pieces of fruit onto a target.
To stay sharp, Mr. Head said, he and his teammates complete problem-solving tests and share them via e-mail.
He said he was excited to make the trip. Redemption has something to do with that enthusiasm.
The Washington Group team finished 18th in the world competition last year when it was held in Florida, Mr. Head said.
"I think we can be a lot more competitive this year," he said.

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS)—The Obama Administration's filing of a brief saying the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional is being viewed as a turning point for gay rights.
The brief against the DOMA – which defines marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman – was filed in the case of a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals lawyer who is suing the government after her wife was denied health insurance coverage.
KCBS' Susan Kennedy Reports:
John Lewis with Marriage Equality U.S. said it's a significant development.
"This is an example of the President of The United States standing up for all loving committed couples," Lewis said.
Stephen Valdeck, a law professor at the American University Washington College of Law, said the administration has claimed that the 1996 law serves "no purpose other than to discriminate against gays and the standard of rational basis isn't enough."
Valdeck argued, "If the administration believes that you need a higher level of scrutiny for DOMA, then they should also follow that you need a similarly high level of scrutiny for Proposition 8, or any other state law that discriminated based on sexual orientation when it comes to marriage and benefits."
The administration had previously said it would no longer defend DOMA in court.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for In Defense of Animals, San Rafael, CA, USA
IDA is an incredible non-profit working within the legal system of the USA to fight for animal rights and protection. They work tirelessly on behalf of abused and mistreated circus and zoo elephants to end the mistreatment of these amazing animals and find them homes in permanent sanctuaries. Recently, IDA rescued 55 monkeys from a lab where they were experimented on, held in teeny cages and never allowed to live as a monkey should. Those monkeys now have a permanent home in a sanctuary where they will get to live as monkeys for the first time. IDA works on so many animal issues across the board, from campaigning for whales and dolphins to ending puppy mills. I love supporting IDA and would like to see more people do so too!

The shirts that we have received are of good quality the only downside is the colours as it is not always easy to get an accurate colour chart so we were disappointed by one brand. However the shirts were returned and a refund quickly given and new shirts ordered which was also done very quickly.
Have used this company before and with no doubt will do so again.
Ps. Free postage on any amount of shirts would be a bonus as we are a small company and do not always need bulk amounts.

MN for Emily
I'm 28 weeks with our first baby (surprise gender) and DH and I have FINALLY agreed on a possible girls' name (although still miles away on a boys name).
I'm finding it hard to think of a middle name though. We've agreed on Emily, and our last name is one syllable beginning with H.
Here are the limitations - there are a few
I'd like to avoid anything beginning with E or H. Also avoid G, as I'm EGH and so don't want my daughter having the same initials as me!
Names to avoid as they're already taken by family (we have a huge family with lots of girls): Elisabeth (me!) Cara, Sophie, Grace, Kate, Jessie, Lily, Charlotte, Joanna, Hazel, Kirstie (or anything similar), Rebecca, Rachel, Sarah...
I'd also rather avoid names ending with the "ee" sound as I feel that clashes with Emily.
Style wise - I quite like one syllable names but that's not a rule. I'm also quite classic with name preferences and don't like "new" names.
I really liked Emily Rose but now can't shake the association with the movie of the Exorcism of Emily Rose
I also like Emily Joy but DH has vetoed

Coleman travels to Washington and talks – a little
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Former Sen. Norm Coleman said today that his legal fight with Al Franken will not be over "at least" until the state Supreme Court has a chance to review the case -- keeping the door open for the possibility of a federal fight and potentially a move to try and block an election certificate until such a case is concluded.
"Election certificates are issued at the conclusion of the legal process, and the legal process...certainly won't be concluded at least until the Minnesota Supreme Court has a chance to review these issues," said Coleman after a meeting this afternoon with supporters and donors at the National Republican Senatorial Committee in Washington, D.C.
Coleman, who appeared tired but did allow your dutiful D.C. reporter to follow him to his car after expressing surprise that MinnPost had a reporter in the nation's capital, declined to say who, exactly, he met with.
"A lot of friends," he said.
George Lowe, former chief of staff for former Alaskan Sen. Ted Stevens, had signed in at the front desk of building where the gathering took place. Lowe is now president of Lowe Strategies, a government relations organization. Coincidence? Perhaps. There were certainly other things going on in the building.
"We had a very good meeting," Coleman continued. "We went over where the case is at and the position of the courts and we talked about the next steps."
The Minnesota DFL Party responded later to the closed-door session.
"Rather than being transparent regarding his intentions, former Senator Coleman is hiding behind closed doors in a secret strategy session with national Republicans," DFL Party Chairman Brian Melendez said in a statement.
Franken, of course, has also had his fair share of private meetings while visiting Washington.
Move to federal courts?
On Tuesday, the three-judge panel in Franken-Coleman legal fight over the U.S. Senate seat allowed the review of no more than 400 ballots, which was seen as a win for Franken, who leads by 225 votes.
Since then, the Coleman camp and Senate Republicans have been talking about a likely appeal to the state Supreme Court, and possibly a move to the federal courts depending on the outcome.
But, when asked today about the possibility of going federal with his appeal, Coleman demurred. "Just one step at a time," he said.
The Coleman team's primary issue remains "equal protection" violations. This means that they believe that different standards were used in accepting or denying similar ballots in various counties.
"The ruling is a very narrowly focused ruling; it ignores the fact that there are a lot of votes that haven't been counted," said Coleman of the 400-ballot decision.
Democrats have accused Coleman and other Republicans of stalling to keep a Senate seat open, depriving Senate leadership from what would likely be a dependable liberal vote in Franken.
Coleman said that he was "stunned" by the Democrat's position.
"I am stunned that the other side would want to disenfranchise voters," said Coleman. "This is an effort to make sure voters are enfranchised...I think this is what Minnesotans want, and in the end this has to be decided by insuring that all the votes that should be counted are counted."
Once the state Supreme Court makes a decision in the case, Gov. Tim Pawlenty will have to make the decision whether to sign an election certificate or not. If the case continues to federal court, there is also the potential that a federal court could issue a stay and prevent a certificate from being issued.
Texas lawsuit
And speaking of legal matters, on that pesky Texas lawsuit alleging that a prominent Minnesota businessman improperly funneled money to Coleman through his wife's insurance company, Coleman continues to deny any wrongdoing.
"There have never been any allegations that either my wife or I have done anything wrong," said Coleman. "There are allegations between businessmen about a business dispute. But there has never been a single allegation that me or my wife have done anything wrong and we haven't."
Indeed, Coleman is not named as a defendant in the case. As the case stands now, there are allegations that money was paid to an insurance agency, where Coleman's wife was employed, for the benefit of Coleman. The company has said that none of the money went to the Colemans.
There have been reports that the FBI had opened an investigation into allegations in the Texas lawsuit and a similar one in Delaware. Asked if the FBI had contacted him, Coleman smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"I can't say anything," he said. "We want this matter to be fully reviewed and fully investigated because nothing happened and we are looking forward to that taking place."
And on that note, we arrived at Coleman's car and he ended the conversation by turning and putting his hands on my shoulders.
"Too many questions," he said, laughing.
Then, he hopped into the passenger seat and was driven away with a wave and another broad smile.
Comments (4)
Cynthia Dizikes reports:
"We had a very good meeting," Coleman continued. "We went over where the case is at and the position of the courts and we talked about the next steps."
So... Is he making his decisions based on what is best for the GOP leadership in Washington, or on what is best for Minnesotans?
"And on that note, we arrived at Coleman's car and he ended the conversation by turning and putting his hands on my shoulders."
Good ol' Norm. All the stresses of the election don't stop him from being as creepy and inappropriate as ever.
Coleman refused to answer when asked if he is under investigation by the FBI.
Let's see there are two possibilities:
1) He isn't under investigation - in which case he would have jumped at the chance to publicly and loudly proclaim that, or
2) He is under investigation - in which case he would refuse to comment.
Thanks for letting us know where the contributions to your legal fund are really going Norm! The gross incompetence of your contest of the election now makes sense. The legal fund $$ are being hoarded to try to keep you out of the federal penitentiary.

Owner of Warhammer IP suing Warhammer Online Fansite
Posted 08 May 2010 - 01:46 AM
In all new levels of stupidity, the owners of the Warhammer universe are now suing the owners of the most popular Warhammer Online fansite.
What the hell is that? Way to completely kill off the small community they have left. Luckily, I'm sure A.net would never do something this asinine and harmful to their playerbase.
This makes me question whether I want to buy the War40k MMO now (since this suit has nothing to do with Mythic). If Games Workshop is so antifansite, what's to stop them from filing a lawsuit against the 40kMMO fansites.

under1. Software programs
under2. Magazines and Journals
Now it depends how the court deals with these, since a 'website' isnt realy listed as such, unless interpreted as such ... neither does it list URL's, and warhammeralliance, does use warhammer in its name, so it depends how they interpret 'distinquishability'
Use of Warhammer Mark logo's, if they are on the site and are used without consent, they have a point ...
Another interesting point is the claim of profits, now this will be a major factor i think in determaining 'Fansite from Business' ... so i hope the Curse guys did their accounting proper, if they make no to a very limited 'profit' (asin breadcrums that could be considdered 'goodwill') then i can see it morelikely being deemed as a fansite mainly covering operation costs, if they make a large profit, then its morelikely to be seen as a business and as such indeed infringing on copyrights or use of the Warhammer trademark for the conduct of business ... <- this will be a very determaining factor in these claims... because it distinguishes between business OR fansite ...
One thing though, im not a real Warhammer fan, but speaking like a Fan, if the above 'profit' is marginal, and the Alliance doesnt sell 'illigal copies' of warhammer products, then this lawsuit is damaging Warhammer more then this site ever could...

The lawsuit itself is sound in legal principle, and Games Workshop is known for enforcing its copyright.
It's just a really really stupid thing to do to anger your fan base
Depends, really. If Mythic gives royalties to Games Workshop in the form of a % of subscription profits then certainly, but that's unlikely. More likely is they got a percentage of the box sales, which have long since dried up. Games Workshop has little to lose other than damage to their reputation amongst MMO players, which aren't really their audience.
I don't think they have much to gain either. The only reason I can see for this decision is them avoiding setting a precedent for not punishing commercial websites that use copyrighted Warhammer artwork/assets.

There's no way Games Workshop can win on trademark infringement or cybersquatting. The URL has been used with their knowing of it for years. They failed to protect that trademark. End of story. Curse should push for it to go to court versus settling. The judge will most likely dismiss the case.

From Librarium-Online, a Warhammer Tabletop forum, rules regarding copyright infringement: "Specifically concerning Army Lists, posters may include the point costs for full units, but may not include individual costs or stat lines for models, equipment or upgrades."
Another example.

Except, like I pointed out, that Warhammer 40k MMO that is getting info revealed on it in a couple of weeks at E3. Bad timing.
I will not be buying that product now that I realize what jerks Games Workshop are to their fans.

Report: Apple Cuts 0.7 Percent of iPad Profit to Give Factory Workers Big Raise
Jason Mick
May 31, 2010 9:15 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple will lose 0.7 percent of its iPad profits to give the workers that assemble its device a 20 percent raise. Workers at Foxconn are currently struggling after a string of suicides and enduring reportedly poor working conditions.
(Source: Kin Cheung/AP)
A small cut to Apple's profit margin may make a big difference in workers' lives
It took a
string of suicides
to spur it to action, but Apple is finally taking a big step towards trying to ensure that the workers who build its bestselling iPads, iPods, and iPhones enjoy a decent standard of living.
Apple's products are almost entirely manufactured by Foxconn, a China-based unit of Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry. Foxconn builds the sleek devices at its Shenzhen plant in Southern China. While many companies (Microsoft, HP, Dell, Nintendo, Sony, etc.) utilize Foxconn's manufacturing services, the Shenzhen facility primarily serves Apple -- and it's also the site of all of the recent suicides.
The suicides were perhaps foreshadowed by an internal probe by Apple that revealed that several of its international manufacturing partners were
committing abusive employment practices
, such as using child labor or demanding unpaid overtime. According to reports, the latter was
particularly common-place
at the Shenzhen facility.
According to
a report
by Chinese news organization
, Apple has now quietly committed a dramatic gesture, offering to finance the majority of the
20 percent raise
in pay to the Shenzhen workers. The raise was long promised to workers, but had remained undelivered for some time now.
The 20 percent raise will cost Apple a little, but not very much. It is estimated to raise the costs of labor for the iPad from 2.3 percent of the cost to 3.0 percent of the cost. Apple still looks to make hundreds in profit off of each unit sold (breakdowns estimated Apple makes
at least $200
per iPad sold).
For the Foxconn workers living in the factory city of Shenzhen, though, the raise will make a world of difference. While some will question why Apple didn't push for higher wages in the first place, it's important to appreciate that it is at least taking action now. One can only hope that HP, Dell, Microsoft, and others step up to the plate and offer to subsidize similar raises at their manufacturing locations -- even if they haven't been struck by the spate of suicides that occurred at Apple's plant.
Apple has not yet officially acknowledge the report, though it has previously stated that it was
concerned about the working conditions at Shenzhen
and that it was evaluating its options.
In other news,
a fire broke out
at the Shenzhen plant this week. It reportedly was unrelated to the suicides. The fire did not do any major damage to equipment, according to reports, and is not expected to impact Apple's production schedule.
"Let's face it, we're not changing the world. We're building a product that helps people buy more crap - and watch porn." -- Seagate CEO Bill Watkins

When we break up, we consume. Something has to fill that hole where your love used to be right? And so many things can go in there: food, drinks, movies, drugs, Netflix, pricey new coats, compliments from strangers, books, YouTube videos of bulldogs, music, tears, and maybe even couch cushion stuffing (if you're that lady from My Strange Addiction). The Breakup Diet is a feature where we ask our favorite people what they put in, on, or through their bodies when they're getting over the end of a relationship.
In August 2013, I moved to Los Angeles from New York City. The plan was for my boyfriend of a year, also a comedian and writer, to follow me there in October and for us to live together in some hip neighborhood like Silverlake or Los Feliz, get a dog, and be together forever – no big deal.
Someone should have probably let him in on that future, because instead of moving across the country to be with me, we spent most of October not speaking (even when we saw each other in person for a precious weekend) and when he told me he couldn't make more of an effort in the relationship and wasn't sure when he was going to be able to come out west, I broke up with him.
I was miserable. Twice in my life, I've been in relationships with people where I was just smitten. Knocked down, and blinded by love, I tend to give up the things I care about and forget the simple pleasures that make me me. This was one of those times. My ex was very, very opinionated. We almost never watched movies I wanted to watch, or read books I wanted to read, listened to music I wanted to listen to, or ate food I wanted to eat. So when I broke up with him, I was sad, but soon, I was actually pretty psyched to get back into the stuff I enjoyed without having to explain anything to anyone's judgy stink-eye.
In the first two weeks, I finished all three seasons of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's cruel love letter to their friend Karl Pilkington "An Idiot Abroad." It's all on Netflix. The show follows Pilkington, a regular character on Gervais's and Merchant's radio show, known for being a round-headed moron, as he travels the world and hates every minute of it. I'm a complainer and a grump, so as Karl finds something to moan about in even the world's most beautiful places, I could really, really relate. There's nothing romantic in Karl's eyes, and if you're going through a break-up, I can't recommend his gloomy/realistic point of view on literally everything he encounters enough.
At the Farmer's Market in Silverlake, I bought as much garlic-infused cheese and olive tapenade a 110-pound lady can consume and I ate all of it on Wheat Thins. My sister was visiting me from Florida and she'd never heard of olive tapenade. She became so obsessed that back in the woods of Tallahassee, she tried looking for it at her janky local grocery store and was appalled when they didn't have it. I'm making her too classy for Talla-nasty.
I hugged a lot of dogs. I went to friends' houses and squeezed their puppies. I accompanied a dog walker on his daily jaunt. I sniffed around Petsmart and Petco and took covert cellphone photos of dogs on Melrose Avenue. I was an all-around dog creeper. Give me all the dogs and put them into my hugs.
I met a boy at a comedy show who was handsome, and then he said he was divorced and he became even more handsome because my daddy issues are rampant. I don't usually go for traditionally handsome men because I feel they've already had it pretty easy in life, and they don't need my attention too. The men I'm attracted to tend to have something more interesting about their features like gray hair, or thick eyebrows, or a facial scar. I like to know a guy has been places and seen things. But in the wake of this break up, I took one look at this fine, damaged piece and thought, "You deserve this, Gaby." I also made out with a slew of women because I'd missed their silky hair and soft earlobes, and because my ex would always sort of scoff at my ex-girlfriend in Brooklyn and my identity as "bisexual" as though women posed no threat.
I listened to a lot of Beyoncè, who I'd had to give up during the relationship. As a music snob, my ex would constantly scoff and remind me that Beyoncé was "just a rip-off of Tina Turner." While I'd been excited to watch Bey perform during the 2013 Superbowl half-time show, and thrilled at her choice to have an exclusively female backing band, he'd chided me on my ignorance of "the history of good music."
In further protest, I also listened to a lot of his other least favorite female singer: Kesha, especially the song "Sleazy" because of the lines, "I don't need you / or your brand new Benz / or your bougie friends / and I don't need love looking like diamonds." She also talks about wanting to go where her friends are because screw this sweet-talking dude; he sucks. Kesha is super deep, y'all. (She is. I love her.) Another song I had on repeat was "Let Go" by RAC featuring the brilliant Kele from the British band Bloc Party. Kele is so emotive in this devastatingly upbeat song that it's a crime he isn't super famous. Someone make him super famous right now.
I also listened to every voicemail this man, my ex, had ever left me. I had saved them all. Starting from the beginning of our friendship all through dating, my voicemail was constantly 95 percent full. I listened to every single one starting from May 18, 2012 where he said he was on the Upper West Side and coming to meet me at a coffee shop for a friend hangout to a fight in February 2013 where I sat outside his apartment in the cold to a message telling me he hoped my show went well and he missed me in September 2013 to nothing. I deleted them one by one, and I cried.
I read a lot of books about school shootings. My morbid fascination with Columbine had taken a back seat during our relationship because I feared it was "too weird" or "goth" for him to appreciate. I read Brooks Brown's book No Easy Answers and David Cullen's Columbine. I also read Lionel Shriver's fictional take on a rampaging teenage psychopath We Need To Talk About Kevin. I know this is a super dark topic to be really into, and for a while there I wondered how many books about school shootings I could order off Amazon before I ended up on a watch list. I'm hoping it's three.
My ex hated old movies, which tend to be a break up staple. The sweeping romances of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy are supposed to make you forget about how you'll be alone forever. But even when we were together, I'd always wanted to show him some of my favorites, which had comforted me in high school and college and were just a general feel-good genre of movie for me. However, he said he couldn't concentrate on classic films because of the lilting way they spoke back then. I couldn't believe it because I, and most people with functioning hearts, find the "old movie dialect" charming. In his absence, I once again reveled in Breakfast at Tiifany's, Roman Holiday, Rebel Without A Cause, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and others in my big collection.
