Spurs have already beaten one path to the Millenium stadium, brushing aside Tranmere 4-0 away in October on their way to next Sunday's Worthington Cup final against Blackburn. Yesterday they kept on course for a second visit in May, beating the same team by the same score, picking up our road to Cardiff and looking a fair bet to go the whole way.
A goal by Christian Ziege inside 10 minutes quelled a bright start by Tranmere and, though Rovers hung on for 25 minutes by the fingertips of John Achterberg and the hair's breadth by which a second bullet from the German flew by the far post, Gustavo Poyet effectively killed off the match before half-time.
Glenn Hoddle may feel he has exorcised a ghost. In this round a year ago, when he was at Southampton, Saints led 3-0 at half-time only to lose 4-3, with Paul Rideout scoring a hat-trick.
That was the last in a sequence of results which have established Tranmere's cup reputation. An honours board at Prenton Park lists "memorable matches" - 18 in the last 14 years, including nine in the last three, but only 12 in the club's first 67 league years. That means an awful lot were forgettable.
Rovers also had a spot of revenge to seek. The clubs had met only once before in the Cup, in 1953, when Spurs, with their current president Bill Nicholson playing, won a replay 9-1.
Any hope of Tranmere adding to their roll of honour was quickly extinguished. They had come through four rounds, including two they normally bypassed, with 16 goals against lowly opponents. The snap-tackle-pop of their midfield had given them control and their forwards bags of chances. Yesterday, though, they were as Shredded Wheat before the liquid speed of Tottenham's understanding.
Tim Sherwood lay deep in a holding and spreading role, consistently finding Mauricio Taricco and Ziege wide. Further forward Teddy Sheringham, given a nod and a rest by Sven-Goran Eriksson midweek, pulled Tranmere's central defenders about by typically dropping off. Neither Darren Anderton (hamstring) nor Ledley King (tonsils), denied England action, were fit but Ziege on the left nursed his way back from five weeks' injury, punishing Tranmere but not himself.
His conversion of the game's first real opening, set up by Simon Davies' volleyed pass, was merciless. By the time Poyet tucked in the second from Ziege's measured cross, Tranmere might have been six down. Les Ferdinand and Sheringham missed from close range and Achterberg saved acrobatically from Poyet and Taricco.
Rovers, going for a hat-trick of quarter-finals never achieved momentum and, though Jason Koumas showed confident touches to explain in part his £2m valuation, he may need to play at a higher level to take his game on.
Until Spurs grew sloppy in the second half Rovers' only threat came at corners. Rideout, now 37 and scorer of Everton's Cup final winner against Manchester United in 1995, twice went close; Nick Henry miscued when misplaced; Jason Price had three stabs at the ball when Neil Sullivan got in a tangle; and Stuart Barlow blasted across goal from a narrow angle but Spurs always had plenty in hand.
Sheringham potted the third when the ball dropped loose from Ferdinand's challenge on Achterberg. And Poyet took his season's tally to 11 with a wicked deflection in injury time. Spurs may fancy their chances of emulating Arsenal's cup double of 1993. Certainly their league form - two wins in nine games - suggests the cups have been a distraction.
Therein lies Tranmere's consolation. Dave Watson, their manager, always saw the Cup as a chance to take the money and run for promotion. Such was the draw that Rovers' return was limited. Afterwards Watson, more used to the corridor and broom cupboard interview than Tottenham's microphones and auditorium, said he was "pleased with the performance". He will be even more pleased if they can start their run-in with victory at Oldham tomorrow.
Man of the match: Christian Ziege (Tottenham).

Determinants of cereal diversity in communities and on household farms of the Northern Ethiopian Highlands:
"On farm conservation of crop diversity poses obvious policy challenges in terms of the design of appropriate incentive mechanisms and possible trade-offs between conservation and productivity. This paper compares factors explaining the inter-specific diversity (diversity among species) and infra-specific diversity (diversity among varieties within a species) of cereal crops grown in communities and on individual farms in the northern Ethiopian highlands....If agrobiodiversity conservation is to be seriously considered as a policy option in these communities, applied economics researchers will need to 1) establish the relationship of cereal diversity conservation to private and social welfare, and 2) articulate the relationship between the names of varieties managed by farmers and infra-specific, genetic diversity measured through agro-morphological or molecular analysis. Methodological advance may be required to relate policies to diversity outcomes measured at various geographical scales or levels of aggregation in the same farming system. Specific issues for further social science research include the relationship of seed management practices, seed markets, tenure and soil conservation practices to diversity conservation, and the possible application of bio-economic models to the analysis of species and genetic diversity interactions with farming systems. For policy purposes, it will be important to better understand the particular institutional and social elements that cause communities to behave differently in terms of conservation than the individual household farms of which they are composed, and for some communities to conserve more than others.

RIGA - Several hundred people have gathered at the government building in a rally demanding that value added tax on heating be reduced.
According to the police's estimates, there were 500 to 600 people participating in the protest at noon.
The crowd is making a lot of noise, many people are holding posters saying: "Children, We Will Not Be Eating Today, Today We're Paying For Heating!," "Freeze, Old Lady! Sincerely Yours, The Government," "No VAT On Heating!," and others.
The rally is organized by union "LABA", which previously said that the Cabinet today would consider reducing VAT on heating from 15 percent to 12 percent. Finance Ministry's spokesman Aleksis Jarockis said, however, that the ministry had not proposed such amendments.
The union emphasizes that VAT on heating was 5 percent until 2009, but when the crisis began, the government raised the VAT rate to 12 percent, and now many residents are unable to pay their heating bills.
The union believes that the government can help the nation by reducing the VAT on heating to 5 percent.

Because A Baby Is Just Like a Vas Deferens (Tube that goes to the Penis)Friday, February 24th, 2012
Georgia female legislators think they're funny but really they're just insultingly stupid:
A group of Democratic women from Georgia, frustrated by recent bills limiting women's reproductive rights, decided it was time to turn the tables on the men.
Their proposed bill would amend the state's current abortion law by banning men from getting vasectomies.
"Thousands of children are deprived of birth in this state every year because of the lack of state regulation of vasectomies, said Rep. Yasmin Neal, a Democrat from the Atlanta suburb of Jonesboro, in a video statement on Wednesday. "The day has come where men should face the same pressure and invasion of privacy that women have faced for years.
Neal, who spearheaded the bill, tells NBC News her intention is to "shin[e] light on the double standard women face in the United States."
The anti-vasectomy bill borrows some language directly from H.B. 954, a recently drafted anti-abortion bill in Georgia that would punish abortions performed after the 20th week of pregnancy with prison sentences between one and 10 years.
So, according to them, a new life, a baby, is just like a tube that is a conduit for sperm; just like it.
To demonstrate:
That small tube that transports semen from the seminal vesicle is the vas deferens. Snipping it is a rather non-invasive, and nearly always, reversible procedure.
In contrast, this is a 9 week old fetus, well within the normal gestational age for abortion.
This is also known as a baby–a small one, mind you, but a baby.
These Georgia legislators are harming their case by trying to analogize the procedures.
If a man could carry a baby, I would say his rights ended where the baby's began.
This is a civil rights issue. Once the mother is pregnant, a new person's rights need to be considered.
Until I see a man cradling his vas deferens and the tube starts talking, the analogy is worthless and stupid.
That these women think so little of babies says so much about them.

Feminists Lie, Women's Hopes DieThursday, December 1st, 2011
Women want to believe that they're impervious to things like age and ovaries. So, during peak creative years, women push their energy into relatively time unlimited endeavor–career–instead of a very time limited endeavor–having babies.
Young mothers are scorned for being stupid, giving up their potential, subjugating themselves to a man's world.
Ironically, by subscribing to a dirty man's definition of success — rutting like animals and climbing the corporate ladder by any means necessary — women deprive themselves of doing the one thing that is essentially female–giving birth.
Newsflash: Only women can do it. There are requirements. A woman must have a functional uterus, fresh eggs, good health and it's really helpful to have economic and emotional support. In old-fashioned terms, that was called a husband.
Imagine the shock, then, when women find out that they've been lied to about their reproductive ability:
A decade ago, a fertility ad campaign on public buses in several big cities sparked a vicious backlash. It featured a baby bottle shaped like an hourglass, to warn women their time was running out. But women's rights groups called it a scare tactic that left women feeling pressured and guilty.
Another ad campaign? Sure, says Mingo.
"And it needs to come on when men are paying attention," she says. "Heck, put it on in the middle of a football game or something!"
Women are afraid of losing career opportunities. It's not like there is one choice or the other. I've always worked while having kids.
Still, it helped that because of medical training waiting to have kids was no option because it limited options.
When you know you want kids, and maybe a big family, two things should be a priority:
1. Getting married.
2. Getting pregnant.
So, women in their 20s need to strike while their hot body and biology work to their advantage. This, of course, is very politically incorrect advice.
Telling a woman to carve out time to date, join social institutions (like, horrors!, churches) that encourage marriage, etc. just seems so old-fashioned.
Well getting married and having kids young has many biological and sociological and cultural advantages.
Women need to be told the truth about their limitations so they can change their life choices accordingly. Many who want and should have children won't be able to because of the lies they believe and they'll find out the truth too late.

We were oh so close to a J.Law/J.Lo dance sesh.
In a story filed under missed celebrity opportunity, Jennifer Lawrence and Jennifer Lopez took to the media this week to explain a hilarious, dance-related misunderstanding that took place at the 2013 Met Gala.
"This is how I remember it: I remember that we were at the Met Ball, and Kanye [West] was about to perform, and it was like a crazy moment," Lopez told Access Hollywood at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards. "She [Lawrence] was like, 'Let's go dance,' and I was like, 'No, I'm good right here. But I didn't mean it like, 'I don't want to dance with you.' I just meant, like, 'It's so crowded in here. Let's stay right here.'"
Jennifer Lawrence, however, had a different recollection of the night in question.
Appearing on the Tonight Show last Thursday, Lawrence rehashed the event and revealed and she and Fallon had originally planned to ask Lopez to dance — even going as far as to plan a secret routine, but Fallon backed out. "I do it, he's gone, and it's just me looking at J.Lo, going, 'Dance with me!' She was like, 'I think I'm just gonna observe,'" Lawrence recalled. "You made me look like a freak in front of J.Lo! Do you know what that feels like?"
We can't wait to see if this mishap is rectified at the 2015 Met Gala!

Chocolate on the Fringe
Komforte Chockolates
Unlike women, men don't like to advertise that they have an addiction to chocolate. Therefore we felt compelled to share these interesting American made treats for all of our readers a sweet tooth who prefer to remain unnamed. Komforte Chockolates ($2.99) are available in a mish mash of options that are designed to combine the sweet and sophisticated taste of small batch artisan chocolate with other seemingly odd but familiar flavors that inspire comfort. The term "munchies approved" might describe the concept more succinctly in our opinion, but we're not here to judge. Currently sold in French toast, ramen, and tortilla lime & salt options, they're certainly like no other chocolate we've come across in our product hunting tenure. Whether that's a good thing is something we'll judge once a few of you secret chocolate fans dig in and report back. French toast sounds easy, so for the sake of science least give the dorm room inspired ramen a nibble first.

Big Ten Action; Penn St. at Wisconsin
Team Page: Penn St. :: Wisconsin
67% of The Public on Wisconsin -7 :: Matchup :: Odds :: Picks
Wisconsin rallied to its fifth straight victory last week without star running back P.J. Hill. The Badgers would like to avoid having to do that again Saturday.
The No. 17 Badgers (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten) hope to have Hill back in the lineup when they face Penn State (6-3, 4-2) at Camp Randall Stadium.
Wisconsin, which suffered its only loss to No. 2 Michigan on Sept. 23, came back from a 14-point halftime deficit to defeat Illinois 30-24 last week.
The Badgers did it without Hill, who suffered what coach Bret Bielema described as a nerve injury in his neck in the first quarter.
Hill, who ran for 50 yards on 12 carries before getting hurt, has 1,222 yards on 214 rushes this season.
``P.J.'s an extremely tough individual,'' Bielema said during his Monday press conference. ``I know that he's going to be able to battle himself back.''
Bielema said Hill would be evaluated Monday, and the team would decide on his status for the rest of the week.
Hill is sixth in the nation with 135.8 yards per game and is part of a Wisconsin rushing attack that leads the Big Ten with 185.4 yards per contest.
With that powerful rushing attack at less than full strength, John Stocco helped the Badgers battle back against the Illini. He threw a first-quarter interception that was returned for a touchdown, but directed Wisconsin to 20 unanswered points after halftime, throwing a pair of TDs.
Stocco finished 15-of-26 for 217 yards and the two scores.
``You can't faze him no matter what happens,'' Bielema said. ``It's not only the plays that he makes, but our offensive entirely. We need someone to control the game.''
The steady Stocco has guided Wisconsin during its five straight wins, throwing 10 touchdowns and just three interceptions. The Badgers had outscored their previous four opponents by at least 21 points.
``We knew we weren't going the whole season beating everyone by 40 points,'' senior safety Joe Stellmacher said of Saturday's win. ``We got their best effort and we didn't play particularly well, especially in that first half.''
Stocco hopes to help Wisconsin avoid a similar first-half performance this week against Penn State, which sacked the senior a career-high nine times in a 35-14 loss Nov. 5. The Badgers fell behind 21-0 at halftime in that contest.
``Last year in the Penn State game, they were able to pressure John and get hits on John from using a variety of four-man pressures as well as bringing extra blitzers,'' Bielema said. ``They are very, very good on defense. So its going to be an interesting challenge.''
Penn State, the defending Big Ten champion, heads into its final road game after posting its first shutout in four years, 12-0 over Purdue last week.
``This was huge for us defensively, especially against a team like Purdue,'' linebacker Paul Posluszny said. ``This was a big step for us. As long as we tackled well and held them short of the sticks, it would be all right.''
Anthony Morelli completed just 14 of 31 passes for 182 yards, but Tony Hunt powered the offense with 31 carries for 142 yards and the game's only touchdown. The Nittany Lions amassed 240 rushing yards, one week after managing 40 against Illinois.
``I think we was getting tired of hearing, blah blah blah, running game, offensive line this, so we went off this week and it was probably the toughest and best week of practice we had all season,'' Hunt said.
Hunt and the Nittany Lions hope to continue that run of strong practices as they gear up for the Badgers.
``We didn't score as many points as I think we should have,'' Hunt said of the Badgers, who average 22.6 per game. ``We had penalties in the red zone, things like that. So there's more things we've got to work on this week.''
Penn State and Wisconsin have split four meetings at Madison, but the Badgers lead the series 7-4.

Selecting Your Runescape Guide!
As Runescape becomes the No. 1 MMORPG game on the net, there are also many Runescape guides selling on the web.
A large number of players would seek " rs gold guide" or "how to purchase runescape guide" on Google, needing to locate some solutions to their questions.
With that, thousands or even millions of Runescape players could have purchased more Runescape guide or at least one online.

Johannesburg - The Hawks raided the Pretoria offices of the department of mineral resources on Wednesday to find evidence related to the fraudulent awarding of mining rights, their spokesperson says. "We have raided their offices in Pretoria. It is about mining rights obtained fraudulently," Macintosh Palela said.He said a statement with more details will be issued shortly.
Well done Hawks! Go for them!!!!!
Oh and those commenting please keep your remarks clean for once and try not to blame anything on race.
All a farce fightfair, all a farce and sorry, race will ALLWAYS be applicable in this racist country.
Dal68 we will however never make progress if that is our attitude. After 94 South African's were very cautious and afraid to do what's politically incorrect, however thatnks to the likes of Malema & Manyi the floodgates seemed to have opened. I don't believe that people with strong moral values and intellect should be allowed to be sucked in by the uneducated government agents and stoop to their levels.
I agree fightfair, but attitudes won't change. Too late for that.
Dal68 we also have our children and future genrations to think about...Have to start somewhere.
They will disband the Hawks as soon as they become too effective.
Another corrupt aNc cadre will be suspended with full pay for years and defended at the taxpayers expense instead of going to jail
They also raided the offices of Imperial Crown Trading (ICT).
I do not have to remind anybody that ICT is the ANC - fact.
If this is legitimate - I will eat 'humble pie' right here; I will openly take everything back I am about to say and in fact lot more of what I have said before.
However, I see this merely as a facade - the 'Hoenders'... ...sorry the 'Hawks' will use this simply as opportunity to validate the ANC's case, by (effectively) saying ' "look there, we found nothing". In fact I would not in the least be surprised if the ICT/ANC's offices were tipped long before the supposed raid.
What now !!!
I need time to fully digest the Cele's and Malema's of the world !!
By next week it will be forgotten as we will focus on other CHAOS.
Glad to see the Hawks pulling out all the stops to root out corruption and fraud leaving no stones unturned.
- How about they start turning all the stones on Malema's case first ?
I get hopeful whenever I read stories like this, and then I realise that any actual evidence that doesn't get "lost" will be drowned out by prosecuting incompetence and political interference, and half a decade from now the case will either forgotten or thrown out of court and no justice will be done.
this is good news, they better investigate fraudulently acquired mining rights dating back to 1652...
Theft of live-stock should also be on the cardsthen.
mercenary we are in the same boat...live-stock included...i am glad we agree
They should indeed, seeing as South Africa had a positively thriving mining industry at the time. Or wait...
@ Joe
it seems the sarcasm is going over some heads here!!!! LOL
@ Brazach. Why do you live in Saudi Arabia when your African paradise created by the ANC awaits you? Your forefathers and ancestors sold those mining rights for mirrors and some steel. It seemed like a fair price to them at the time. If you sell your Mercedes for R100 to me because it seems like a good price to you, you can't blame my grandchild because I bought it. It was your choice. Same with your ancestors.
worldwise where i go for business is none of your business and its not a secret. if there is nothing to hide then the investigations should be started as far as 1652, for the benefit of all south africans irrespective of race. be realistic, if someone feels a deal was manipulated it can be reviewed in court...if you dont know what you are talking about, dont respond, you are a waste of time
is there any dept in our country that is not corrupt?
Always fun to watch a tapestry unravel. Pull at those threads, let's see what lies beneath.
Wonder who tipped them off as they surely did not arrive at this action through their own initiative - @Spyker May - you may be right, just a smoke and mirror ANC instruction to take the heat off and make them look like they are doing something - to who's benefit is uncertain but imaginable...
This is going to be fun.....
I'll put R20 down as a bet that "The Hawks are working for the White elite"
Any Takers!!!!
- About time.
didn't that Malemoer's friend, the sushi boy, had mining rights of Soweto? And Malemoer always talking about "nationalisation of m i n e s" ? his, I mean, not mine
Dal68 we also have our children and future genrations to think about...Have to start somewhere.
It's about time they do something, I completely forgot that we have a crime prevention unit called HAWKS. But then again elections are around the corner, people should see that the government is working very hard. prevention unit called HAWKS. But then again elections are around the corner, people should see that the government is working very hard.
HAWKS = puppets!
Afrikaner right wings are busy organizing illegal training camps in an attempt to topple the government organized WE DON'T SEE ANY RAIDS!
If you know that the Afrikaners are doing this and you are not seeing any raids, you must know where these camps are. Why not report them to the police, ANC or ANCYL? I'm sure you'll get action from at least one of them. Even better, post their locations here, then we can all go and see for ourselves. Or are you speaking sh1t?
@ Black Jesus
Please change your name!!!!
Because you are proving that you are as presumptuous about yourself as the ANC is.

E.T. The Extraterrestrial Interplanetary Mission - PSX - Review
A sound, amazingly similar to "ooh," and a plaintive "E.T." accompanies every attack. Is this any way to treat a visitor whose only interest is in plants?
E.T. The Extraterrestrial: Interplanetary Mission is a release from NewKidCo for the PlayStation game console. It features most of the same graphical elements and animations familiar to E.T. fans on other console systems. It is an arcade-style game with mazes, monsters and adventure.
As the story goes, Elliott has helped E.T. escape Earth, and on his way home, our favorite alien botanist has taken several detours to expand the scope of knowledge for his people. According to the storyline, this mission will have an effect of the fate of the universe. You would never know that from the opening sequences and levels of this game.
E.T., woefully underpowered for a mission of such stature, seems bent only on collecting a wide variety of plants, fending off numerous foes, and making the world a better place for his presence in it.
Yes, the game is cute, and E.T.'s powers are amazing. The first levels serve as a tutorial, acquainting players with the alien's powers – which include telekinesis, its incredible healing power and its heart stun, which can stop several creatures in their tracks. If the latter fails, then just throw up the arms, and waddle away a moderate rate of speed. E.T. trying to outrun some of these "monsters" is akin to an old Volkswagen bug trying to outrun a Lamborghini. At the start, it looks like it may work, but after a few paces, it becomes apparent this may be a lost cause. Hence, strategy becomes involved.
If injured enough times, E.T.'s skin turns white and it's time to start a new game, or continue with another life.
This game features five different environments (including a Green Planet, Ice Planet, Desert Planet, Planet Metropolis and Earth – all are adequately named and need no explanation of what they look like) and a total of 15 levels. There are three levels of difficulty to challenge most players.
The controls are kept simple. The D-pad controls direction, triangle is for telekinesis (moving objects), O button is for healing, X is the heart stun and Square is to pick up items. The only other button involved is the R2, which helps E.T. run. The analog button will also control E.T.'s movements.
The sound elements are solid, but unexceptional.
Graphically this game features solid animation of E.T. and other creatures. The polygonal environments and plants may seem a little sharp, but that is to be expected. The environments are diverse and entertaining.
This is not the most challenging game ever created for the PlayStation, but it is a pleasant diversion.
Rated for Everyone, E.T. The Extraterrestrial: Interplanetary Mission will not be for every PS game player, but it will satisfy fans of the movie.
Install: N/A
This game requires one block of memory card space.
Gameplay: 7.5
This program is set up like a maze, with puzzles to solve to move along. The map boards do seem that big, but each level features a variety of challenges.
Graphics: 7.5
The animation is solid, and the diversity of creatures and plants are nicely rendered.
Sound: 7
The audio portion of this game is average for the platform.
Difficulty: 7.5
The controls are kept simple, and there are three difficulty levels. Look for a learning curve of 5-10 minutes.
Concept: 7
The game advances the E.T. story, but looks more like a simple vehicle for a game rather than a continuation of any story.
Overall: 7.2
This is a nice little program, certainly not all that challenging, but delightful for its animation of a benign alien creature and its charming ways.

Thanks for helping us sort this video!
Thanks for helping us associate the correct Pornstars to this video!
Help Us: Do these Pornstars appear in this video?
Pornstar Name:
I was dating this girl in college and she pledged a sorority. I knew several of the members of that group and they told her that she had to fuck me in front of at least 3 of the members. We got a motel room, and they each ate her pussy before letting me fuck her, she was so hot by then that she had no objections. I wound up fucking the other 3 women as well.
this is the first vid ever that had me comment here, that was really funny, had me actally LOL at the end. PLUS this was some serious cock sucking wasnt it???
TIFFANY BROOKES....trust me...i know
that was hot,, i was rubbing my clit the whole time. ;p.
Omg I want that cock in me! Horny as fuck!
wow nice ass.
Peer pressure at it's best....
Yes, this is her first time. :-)
Hella sexy suck that dick like a pro
Fuck with me, please....
It's funny cuz she tries to keep it back,but she carn't lol.
He has a big cock I want some #HORNY

That was great! Love how she didn't want the cum on her. Loved the way her friend sucked his cock. What fun girls x
I agree with Lol the sound is music to my ears
whats the name of the song in the beginnibg

By the way, nothing hotter than having 3 girls help you fuck a 4th one. Having them insert my dick in her pussy and cheering the fucking the whole time was quite a turn on. She got to join in later when I fucked each of the other 3, and she handled my dick quite a bit, so I set up a separate date later, which she also wanted, and it was even better one on one.

The Best Place To See The Northern Lights
The northern lights are an unreal experience which should definitely be on your bucket list (if not already!). For most people, their journey to see the northern lights will be once in a lifetime. This means there is only one chance to get it right!
There are so many questions – where to go, when, how long for? These questions can ultimately completely change the experience for you. This post is solely dedicated to answering that first question. There are so many places to go, so which one to choose? We present the best places to see the northern lights…
First up, Norway is undeniably one of the best places to see the northern lights in the world. While there are a few cities you may choose, we will focus on just one. Tromso, home of the northern lights festival, is a tourism center for holiday makers wanting to catch a glimpe of the auroras. Situated more than 300 kilometers inside the arctic circle, Tromso has so much to offer.
Here, the aurora borealis can generally be seen between 6pm and 1am every other day. Bear in mind that if you are planning a single night trip just so you can witness the lights and leave, you run the risk of missing out. A clear view of the lights is largely weather dependant and a cloudly night would spoil your entire holidays – so leave at least a couple of nights.
The best time of year for you to visit Tromso is easily Janurary. For most of the month, the arctic city lies in complete darkness as its northern location means the sun never quite breaks the horizon. Late January, the first dawn of the year is celebrated with the northern lights festival. This hosts a variety of international music and culture and provides great entertainment for all ages. If you're into the party and nightclub scene, Tromso still has you sorted with a bustling nightlife, especially around this time of year!
Remember that Tromso is incredibly cold, and you will need to back some very warm clothing.
Over on the complete opposite side of the world, Canada provides another awesome destination for you to see the northern lights in canada. Ontario in particular has several dedicated aurora based activities such as professionally guided tours, taking you out of the city away from man made lights, where you will find a much more vivid display of the northern lights.
One of the best tours in Ontario is taking a snowmobile ride an hour north of Lake Superior. For this trip it is definitely advisable to take a guided tour, as getting yourself lost can easily result in a life threatening situation. Like Tromso, is incredibly cold and warm clothing is an absolute must. Check out the many tour providers in Ontario to find a tours interest you the most. You will almost definitely be able to find something that suits you perfectly.
Our final recommendation of northern lights destination is Iceland. In particular, the city of Reykjavik provides probably the best option in the country. Due to the size of the city, views of the northern lights are not as spectacular due to the amount of street lighting. Like the other cities, getting a way out of the center is your best option to get a stunning view.
Just like the Tromso and Ontario, Reykjavik have a tourism sector dedicated to the northern lights and hence have a variety of tours departing regularly in aurora season – sleds, busses, snow mobiles, you name it. One of the best parts of Reykjavik is the night life. Despite it being a relatively small city, the night life is suprisingly raucous, with many bars concentrated in one district. Pub crawls are operated by local guides for those happy drunks.
Iceland is dead in the middle of one of the most active regions of the Aurora Ovals (where the northern lights are formed). Good weather here means that the lights are almost always visible in season. Just like our competing cities, Reykjavik is cold, so be prepared!
We have presented three of the best places to see the northern lights in the world. We hope you make an awesome choice, not limited to just these three destinations. Other options are spread through Sweden, Finland, Lapland, and Alaska. All of these destinations have plenty of things to do other than seeing the lights, so why not take a bit of time out to enjoy the arctic atmosphere? It will be a holiday you will never forget.

I remember seeing the northern lights up here in Canada when I was a kid. I have not seen them since, but recently became interested in seeing them again. Some great info here.

Colts owner Jim Irsay has become one of the more fascinating NFL follows on Twitter. His oft-mysterious updates create a team website -meets-the Almost Famous script vibe. He was pretty to the point Monday afternoon, though, when he apologized to the Indianapolis fans for his team's 44-20 preseason loss to Buffalo on Sunday.
Many starters played briefly or were nursing little injuries,but it was a crap performance,my apologies/My commanders got n earful from me!
— Jim Irsay (@JimIrsay) August 12, 2013
Falling by 24 points at home never sits all that well, but preseason results are about as meaningless as they come. The Colts pulled starting QB Andrew Luck after just two series, and backup Matt Hasselbeck took a seat following an interception early in the second quarter. Most of the Colts' other first-teamers followed Luck to the bench in short order, too.
And, for all that, Indianapolis still had a 13-6 lead midway through the second quarter, before Marquise Goodwin ripped off a 107-yard kick return and E.J. Manuel led a scoring drive before halftime. Buffalo then outscored the Colts 24-7 in the second half.
Perhaps it was the effort over the third and fourth quarters that so angered Irsay. The Colts' lone second-half points came on a 72-yard fumble return by Daxton Swanson. Other than that, Indianapolis generated next to nothing, be it on offense with third-string QB Chandler Harnish; or on D, where the Colts were mostly picked apart by Buffalo's No. 3 QB, Jeff Tuel.
Still, this is all pretty irrelevant. The Colts have three more preseason contests -- at the Giants, vs. Cleveland and at Cincinnati -- before their regular-season opener against Oakland.Raiders

A judge ruled Friday that a woman's identification of one of her attackers might be used as evidence at trial.
Hamlet Perdomo, 26, is scheduled to stand trial in Richmond County Superior Court on Nov. 18. He has pleaded not guilty to charges that include murder, rape, kidnapping and robbery.
Perdomo's attorney, Richard Goolsby Jr., challenged the identification of his client by a woman who was kidnapped and sexually assaulted on Sept. 15, 2010.
Investigator Tim Owen testified Friday that the woman's detailed description of her attackers' vehicle and of the three men inside enabled officers to find Perdomo, Hector Torres and Michael Rewis within a couple of hours of the attack.
Other officers took the three men to University Hospital, where Owen was talking with the woman. She was scared, Owen testified, but agreed to take a look at the men. Owen testified he stressed to the woman that the men might not be the attackers. Perdomo was the first one she looked at.
"As soon as she saw his face … she gasped for air and her knees buckled," Owen testified. She said Perdomo was one of the men who sexually assaulted her.
Torres, 30, also assaulted her, the woman testified in January when he stood trial. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Rewis, 22, has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He will stand trial separately from Perdomo.
All three men were charged with murder in the Sept. 11, 2010, shooting of Carl Bush Sr., 56, in a parking lot at Reynolds and Fifth streets.
They are also charged with the armed robbery of a couple on Sept. 14, 2010, a short time before another couple was accosted and the woman was kidnapped and assaulted.

A primary school is celebrating receiving a £500 donation after one of their pupils won a competition to design a new shopping bag.
Amy Jones, nine, from Anderton St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, had entered the competition being run by a new Tesco Express store on Chorley Road.
Amy's entry was chosen from hundreds by the store manager, Wendy Simm.
At a special school assembly, Wendy joined pupils and staff to present her with the winning design, as well as a £25 gift card.
She also provided each pupil with one of the bags.
Mrs Bamber, headteacher at Anderton St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, said: "We're delighted for Amy to have won and she was absolutely thrilled when she saw her design on the bags. They've certainly been popular with the children and parents and it seems they're being snapped up by local people too.
"We keep seeing Amy's design around Adlington when people are out shopping. We'd also like to thank Tesco for the kind donation. It's great that Wendy and the new store are working with the community, and local schools."
Wendy Simm, Store manager of Tesco Express, Chorley Road, said: "I was really impressed with the quality of the designs from the children.
"Picking out the winning entry was very difficult indeed.
"Our customers have been telling us how much they like Amy's design and the bags have been flying out of the store."

Personal Statement
My name is Michael Warren I am a Senior running back at Lawton High school in Oklahoma and currently on "BLACK WATCH/Team Captain". I hold a couple offers on the table such as: Washington State, Toledo, New Mexico, South Dakota, Southern Miss, Tulsa, and Sam Houston St. but I believe this is this most important decision that I'm going to make as a young adult, so I am looking to increase my options greatly. During my junior season I was a starting defensive end due to my quickness off the line, and I played 4th team running back. Midway through my junior year, I was promoted to starting running back and gained 440 yds on 50 carries. I have been voted as player of the week 4 times in Oklahoma by Friday Night Blitz and KSWO News. I was also named Genghis Grill's Warrior of the Week for area city football players. I was voted for District 6a-4 MVP. I am currently the rushing leader in Oklahoma 6A football with 2,512 yds on 268 carries through twelve games . In game 4 I broke former OU star and Lawton High Alumni Dewell Brewer's single game rushing record with 301 yds. In game seven I broke my own rushing record of 301yds, with a new record of 358 yds. One of my main goals is to play college football but at the same time further my education. I plan on attaining a degree in Sports Medicine. I really enjoy sports so when my football career is over I wish to still be involved with game. On top of football I also run track, I run the 4x100, 100m, and 200m. My fastest time in the 100m is a 10.75 laser time and a 22.09 for the 200m. I qualified for state as a member of the 4X100 relay team. Outside of sports I am involved in the Gentleman's Club at Lawton High, it's a group of males that dress in formal attire to show community support and also give pride to our school. I am a motivated student athlete that looks to better my future through hard work and dedication which are my biggest strengths.

My head is spinning from the whirlwind of presentations and hobnobbing at this year's Life Science Innovation Northwest. The regional biotech showcase drew by far the most people in its 11-year history, almost 1,000. More importantly, folks I talked to from outside the region were impressed with the technology here, combined with the community's can-do spirit.
It could just be that everybody is breaking out of their shells after many years of being beaten down, but whatever it is, there was a really strong vibe at this year's regional biotech conference.
"You don't see anything quite like this in the Bay Area," said Brian Atwood, a managing director at Menlo Park, CA-based Versant Ventures, who I sat next to at lunch on Wednesday.
That's not to say everything's peachy. There's still no IPO market to speak of, the regulatory barriers at FDA are daunting, many VCs are fading away, political and legal uncertainties dog the patent system, and Big Pharma has been, shall we say, stingy in how it values new technologies.
All that said, there are plenty of hungry entrepreneurs out there brimming with optimism about what's ahead for their companies in 2011. Here are some tidbits I gathered on a handful of interesting small companies at the conference, who often fly below the radar.
—PhaseRx. This Seattle-based company, a spinoff from Patrick Stayton's lab at the University of Washington, is creating new polymers to help deliver RNA interference drugs to the places they need to go in cells. PhaseRx raised a $19 million Series A venture round in February 2008 from Arch Venture Partners, 5AM Ventures, and Versant Ventures—and has said very little publicly in the three years since.
RNAi is one of the hot fields of pharma R&D, because it has the potential to specifically silence genetic targets of disease that are inaccessible to traditional small-molecule drugs, or protein therapies like antibodies. Delivering these small, interfering RNA molecules has been the primary challenge for this field, since a plain RNAi molecule basically gets chewed up by enzymes and flushed through the kidneys in minutes.
Lots of ideas are percolating to improve RNAi delivery, and one of the more promising is up the road at Vancouver, BC-based Tekmira Pharmaceuticals, which uses lipid nanoparticles to help keep the siRNAs stable in the bloodstream long enough so they can hit the desired target. PhaseRx has taken a different tack, making polymers.
PhaseRx CEO Bob Overell, a former partner at Frazier Healthcare Ventures, says his company has been working these past three years to show that its polymers can be manufactured in a scalable, reproducible manner—which is vitally important to any prospective Big Pharma partner. The company has shown its delivery system can specifically hit an undisclosed genetic target of interest in mice, that it can make the drug accumulate in tumors, and that anti-tumor responses get better at higher doses.
This year, PhaseRx expects to enter into a "major partnership" with a Big Pharma company to license rights to the delivery technology, Overell said. The company will explore co-development opportunities as well, he said.
One thing Overell didn't mention in his slidedeck was his existing cash position. He wouldn't comment on where PhaseRx stands financially, but it sounds like he's planning for a cash infusion. He said he plans to hire a VP of business development, and he notes that everyone interested in RNAi is also interested in improving delivery technology. "There's a large need out there for this technology," Overell says.
—Margaret McCormick has a startup company in the works. McCormick, the chief operating officer at Seattle-based Targeted Growth and a partner at Integra Ventures, is in the process of spinning out an algae biofuel research project she has led at Targeted Growth the past three years. The new operation, called Matrix Genetics, is working on genetically modifying single-cell algae known as cyanobacteria to turn them into mini-factories for oils.
McCormick has no illusions this will be a straightforward thing. Matrix is up against some formidable competitors in the algae biofuel business, like Sapphire Energy, Solazyme, LS9, and Alganon. But McCormick, who has a PhD in biology from MIT, has decided to stake this new company's claim on basic science, instead of trying to build up massive, scalable infrastructure like others. There are already 14 employees working on the Matrix Genetics team, housed in offices at the Institute for Systems Biology, McCormick said. Her goal for this year—raise a $15 million Series A financing.
"There are still huge biology challenges to be met," McCormick said. "Most companies are spending so much time on engineering, they aren't focused on the biology. That's where we will make the difference."
—Al Luderer, the CEO of Integrated Diagnostics, offered a little update on where things stand with this company, which seeks to detect protein signatures in the blood that offer early telltale signs of Alzheimer's disease and lung cancer.
InDi has been focused in on 198 different proteins it believes are associated with diseases of the central nervous system, and is working to drill down into the data to find out which ones are really most important signs of disease. Having Leroy Hood and David Galas of the Institute for Systems Biology among the cast of co-founders means that Luderer hasn't had to worry about raising money—the company already pulled in a $30 million Series A financing. Instead, he's focused on assembling the clinical data to prove the usefulness of its test, and thinking ahead about how to make this transform from a science project into a business.
InDi doesn't sound like it's planning to run forward-looking clinical trials that look at a blood marker, and follow patients to see whether they really get Alzheimer's. Instead, these tests will be retrospective. It will be very interesting to see how much confidence they can really provide doctors, and how much it will cost. InDi plans to commercialize the Alzheimer's test as soon as 2012, Luderer said.
"We're already having dialogue with reimbursers on how to do this properly," Luderer says. Finding a price point that provides a return for InDi's investors, and that isn't cost-prohibitive for insurers, is the tricky part, he said.
—Tom Clement, the founder and chairman of Kirkland, WA-based Pathway Medical Techologies, revealed a bit more about what new ventures he's discovered during his time as an entrepreneur-in-residence at the UW.
"I'm the CEO of Cardiac Insight, as of about 24 hours ago," he quipped at the beginning of his Wednesday talk.
Cardiac Insight, the brainchild of cardiologist David Linker, is seeking to combine a low-cost clever piece of hardware with a proprietary software algorithm, to do a better job of monitoring a form of irregular heartbeat known as atrial fibrillation. About 2.2 million people develop "afib" each year in the U.S., and it's responsible for 15 percent of all strokes. "If we can identify the patients, we can reduce the risk of strokes. Afib can be silent," Clement said.
The algorithm is supposed to be 20 times more accurate than competing atrial fibrillation monitors, Clement said. So far, Cardiac Insight has raised about $200,000 in seed capital from Wings, the medical device angel investment network.
—The other UW spinoff company Clement is helping get off the ground is called Acqueduct Neurosciences. The vision for this company comes from Samuel Browd, a pediatric neurosurgeon at UW and Seattle Children's Hospital, and Barry Lutz, a UW bioengineer. Acqueduct is seeking to treat hydrocephalus, a buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain that occurs in about 1 out of 1,000 live births.
Patients with this disorder get shunts that drain off the excess fluid. It's a common procedure that Browd performs a lot, and which he said makes him "a glorified plumber." Shunts developed in the 1960s have brought down the hydrocephalus death rate from more than 50 percent to less than 10 percent in 2005, according to Seattle Children's Hospital. Yet about 40 percent of the time, existing shunts fail in two years, Browd said. When a shunt fails, doctors place another one, so there's been little in the way of innovation, Browd said.
Competitors like Medtronic and Codman make these shunts, and although they are marketed as being adjustable to a patient's physiology to avoid clogging up, they really aren't adjustable, Browd says. "These devices are static, not smart, and they don't use modern technology. You can't see intracranial pressure," Browd said.
Acqueduct's idea is to make a shunt device that is adjustable, in that it works against "fouling" or clogging up. It will be able to diagnose when intracranial pressure is building up, and transmit a signal via cell phone that alerts the doctor to a problem—which other devices don't do, Browd said.
The project has gotten $50,000 in financing from WRF Capital, $150,000 from the state Life Sciences Discovery Fund, and is seeking $1.5 million in capital from the federal Small Business Innovation Research program.
Browd, a young guy who operates on a lot of kids, definitely had a swagger to his presentation that you don't often see in the buttoned-down Northwest.
"Their valve sucks compared to what we're doing," Browd says. "This technology could be a lot better than what's out there."
—Presage Biosciences, a spinoff from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, had a few tidbits of news to pass along. Jim Olson, the scientific founder, talked about how Presage has carried out an initial project for one of the world's top two pharmaceutical companies, and apparently is confident enough to say the customer is happy.
"We're now moving from a project-based relationship with a pharmaceutical customer to a more long-term alliance-based relationship," Olson said. That means the pharma company would get long-term access to the Presage technology to help improve its drug discovery capabilities. It will be structured so Presage gets paid for performing the service, and so that Presage retains some percentage ownership of drugs the Big Pharma company discovers this way, Olson said.
Presage, which has raised $4 million, is using a multi-pronged probe to deliver various experimental drugs or combinations of them directly into human tumor tissue to see how well the drugs work. This is thought to be a more reliable tool for drug discovery than traditional cell culture based tests in petri dishes, which are a more artificial environment where tumors behave differently than in the body, Olson said.
One interesting nugget—Olson said that Bob Nelsen of Arch Venture Partners advised the company to pitch this technology to Big Pharma discovery groups, instead of trying to commercialize it as a diagnostic tool to help physicians decide which cancer drug to prescribe their patients. The FDA could easily derail such a business plan, Nelsen advised.
—David McElligott, the scientific leader of Seattle-based Mirina, talked about progress this startup has made in the fledgling world of microRNA therapies. The company is pursuing an undisclosed microRNA target for the treatment of cancer, and expects to begin IND-enabling studies (the animal tests you gotta do before starting a clinical trial) before the end of 2011. The company is completing biodistribution studies in mice, which show it can deliver its microRNA drug throughout the body—a key hurdle drugs in this class need to clear.
MicroRNA is one of the hot fields of biology at the moment, and San Diego-based Regulus Therapeutics has even been murmuring about the possibility of doing an IPO, even though it hasn't yet entered clinical trials. Accelerator president David Schubert, when asked if Mirina is rooting for a Regulus IPO so that it, too, can cash in on microRNA frenzy, would only say, "we wish the folks at Regulus well."
McElligott gets the prize for the best deadpan wisecrack of the meeting. "We have five employees, four of whom are very dedicated," he said. After pausing for comic effect, he added: "I'm the other one."
—This year, I also saw the re-emergence of one of the most successful (and low profile) biotech entrepreneurs in Seattle—Todd Patrick. He was the president of Bothell, WA and Vancouver, BC-based ID Biomedical when that company was sold to GlaxoSmithKline for $1.5 billion in 2005.
Patrick's new venture is called C3 Jian, a Los Angeles-based company that is developing an antibacterial oral rinse for tooth decay.
The company has raised $40 million to date. The idea is to bring a pharmaceutical approach to the dentist's office, directly challenging the "drill & fill" ethic that dominates in the $100 billion annual U.S. market for dental services.
Dentists already use broad-spectrum antibiotics to fight infections that lead to tooth decay, but it kills all the good and bad bacteria in the mouth for a while, then allows the bad bacteria to come back stronger, Patrick said. C3 Jian's scientific founder, UCLA professor Wenyuan Shi, has been working on specifically targeted antimicrobial peptides that ought to kill the bad stuff. The hope is that C3 Jian will be able to develop a 30-second mouth rinse, taken once or twice a year, Patrick said. An application to start clinical trials should be ready by the end of 2011, and if all goes according to plan, the rinse could reach the market in 2016 or 2017, he said.
Patrick gets the prize for the funniest wardrobe malfunction of Life Science Innovation Northwest. Part of his collar flipped up in a dorky-looking way, out from under his sportcoat (which come to think of it, has afflicted Xconomy founder Bob Buderi once or twice, as I recall). Anyway, one of Patrick's board members in the audience, H. Stewart Parker, quipped that part of her job on the board is to "make sure the CEO is presentable." I'm pretty sure I saw her wince when that collar flipped back up.

8 'Better Burger' Chains That Are Spreading Across America
Flickr/Ernestro AndradeToday is National Cheeseburger Day!
You could head over to a local spot or a big-name fast food joint to partake in the burger bonanza, but there's also the fast-rising world of "better burgers" — upscale burger brands which are a bit pricey, but are high quality.
Their popularity is skyrocketing, led by the incredible rise of industry leader Five Guys Burgers and Fries.
Some are growing much faster than others, so we asked the folks at food industry research firm Technomic to figure out which "better burger" chains are spreading across the country the quickest.

By Raleigh-Elizabeth. Image via The Renshaw.
It's a rare day that I get to taste the food I read about in restaurant reviews. From America's most dazzling hot spots to small hole-in-the-walls where dinner for two costs my monthly diaper budget, I'm relegated to drooling over the words, not the plates.
And maybe that's half the idea. Maybe restaurant critics write not just to sell us on the merit of a dish, chef, or fancy restaurant, but to let us have a taste of something they know we probably couldn't enjoy without them.
That's the truth Ruth Reichl discovered when she first started out as a restaurant critic for the New York Times. Newly returned to New York after a stint in California, she headed first to Le Cirque (among Manhattan's fanciest fancy places) dressed not as herself, New York Times restaurant critic, but as the invented Molly Hollis, a Michiganer who wore pantyhose when it was hot out, got no special treatment, and was sat in the frozen tundra of the restaurant on a banquette she was forced to share with the menus and wine lists. When she started to peruse those wine lists (because her waiter had failed to give her one), it was unceremoniously demanded back because someone else – clearly, someone important – needed it. By contrast, when she appeared as herself, Ruth Reichl, Restaurant Critic, she was told — quite honestly — that the King of Spain would have to wait in the bar, but her table was ready.
I've been to Le Cirque. Once. My experience and Molly's weren't too terribly far apart, although Molly could afford far more of the menu than I could.
Ruth Reichl holds a special place in my heart. Not just for her Molly Hollis routine, or the many restaurants she gave voice to that were regularly overlooked by more highfalutin critics, but because she writes about food in her reviews like we talk about food to our friends. She writes about food that's real, that sustains us, that makes us happy to be alive and be eating. She writes about real food that matters to real people. Also, in her memoir about "growing up at the table," Tender at the Bone, she remembers the hands-down best recipe for homemade fried oysters you'll ever try. The book's also pretty great, too. You'll love her forever for both.
Because I actually like our little life and was none-too-impressed with Le Cirque, I don't hold out hope for getting to salivate over the plates of food described in the Times, Post, or the New Yorker's Tables for Two. I liked Ruth Reichl's reality: she experienced one of those restaurants as the rest of us. All in all, it was nothing to write home about.
But out in here the real world, don't we have plenty of restaurants we'd like to tell them about?
Like Daddy Mac's, my favorite local restaurant. We live on the coast in North Carolina, directly across the Intracoastal Waterway from Topsail Island. Daddy Mac's is a Topsail restaurant, right on the ocean, and it has a fantastic little patio overlooking the surf. It's mostly a fish restaurant, and because I'm allergic I can't tell you much about that, but they have a taco salad that's what taco salads are meant to be, and their cajun fried oysters are fresh, local, and addictive. We only ever go at lunch, because we can't really afford the price hike on the dinner menu, but it's a perfect way to spend a Sunday after church. And chances are, if it's between April and Halloween and you're sitting outside, you'll watch someone get married on the beach right in front of you. It's like they know you're going to want to stay so much longer than your meal – to watch the sea, smell the surf, maybe even wish your blessings upon the newlyweds – that they have a few Carolina wooden rocking chairs right there on the porch, facing the Atlantic, in case you can't bring yourself to leave just yet.
Or Awash Ethiopian on Manhattan's Morningside Heights (up by Columbia) where you'll taste the origins of Southern soul food in the spicy chicken, tomatoes, and collard greens as you wrap your fingers around them with a piece of injira, the sourdough-like flatbread you use as your only utensil. I am enamored of Ethiopian cuisine on the whole, but Awash is my favorite. It tastes like comfort food, an exciting adventure, and an international journey all in one. Also, you can leave with your wallet still in tact. A good meal can come in under fifteen dollars.
And there are the old standbys. My favorite Ohio restaurant: Hunan Coventry, which is nothing short of a Cleveland institution and may be the only reason my brother Alex ever ate growing up. Or my go-to takeout place here in Baltimore: Asian Kitchen. It will never be featured in the Baltimore Sun, and it shares its stripmall home with a Quiznos and a Dunkin Donuts. Still, they make the best, most unadulterated pad thai I have ever had.
When you walk into these restaurants, the places where we really eat, you'll never see the King of Spain. Or a restaurant critic. You'll never be any less important than any other patron, and you can count on the waiter letting you keep your menu as long as you need it. You will see dads with kids after school, graduate students half-focusing on their meal while studying, young people on dates, and families just enjoying a special meal they didn't have to make. These are real people with real jobs eating real food at real, really good restaurants. These are the unsung heroes of the restaurant world.
Food may be there for the wealthy and well-to-do who can frequent the Le Cirques of the world, sure, but it's also there for the rest of us. It's one of the few things in this world that can turn a regular day into the sublime.
And for most of us, that means an amazing grilled cheese from our local diner or a pagoda box picnic from our favorite chinese place. Nobody needs to tell Le Cirque, but it's these every day foods and every day restaurants that make us feel as rich and fabulous as we know we actually are. No reservations required.
