Fergie - Cottagers had a claim
Sir Alex Ferguson felt Fulham had a strong penalty claim in Manchester United's 1-0 win at Old Trafford on Monday.
Last Updated: 27/03/12 8:08am
Sir Alex Ferguson felt Fulham had a strong penalty claim in Manchester United's 1-0 win at Old Trafford on Monday.
Wayne Rooney's first-half goal settled the contest, but referee Michael Oliver had a big decision to make late on.
Danny Murphy went down in the penalty area after being caught by Michael Carrick, however, Oliver was having none of it.
United could have won a penalty when Patrice Evra's cross hit Stephen Kelly and Ferguson believes Oliver was thinking of the incident when he failed to give Fulham a spot-kick.
"I think they had a claim, no doubt," he told Sky Sports.
"I think maybe the referee's been a bit lenient when we had a claim for a penalty kick in the first half. It was a clear handball. It was maybe close to the attacker, but it was a claim.
"Patrice Evra thought it was a stonewall penalty. He thought he handled it and was denied an opportunity, maybe (Oliver) thinking about that.
"Certainly Michael Carrick has caught Danny Murphy's heel as he came back."
The win was United's sixth consecutive successive success in England's top flight, a victory that moved the club three points clear of rivals Manchester City.
Ferguson accepts the performance was not quite up to scratch and he had hoped his troops would see off the Cottagers in order to avoid any last-gasp equaliser.
"It's a result for us tonight. The three points was what we were after," he continued.
"I thought for an hour we played very well. Our passing was quick and precise.
"We made some decent opportunities, but you have to give credit to Fulham that was a really determined defensive performance by them.
"The problem is when you play teams who sit in your half the whole game they've always got something left. They had more left than we did in the last 15 minutes.
"A little bit of tiredness came into the game and we started giving the ball away. They capitalised on that and they had a lot of counter-attacks through it.
"I think that was really the disappointing thing for us, we never finished them off when we should have."
No injuries
David De Gea seemed to damage his wrist after punching the ball clear late on while Rio Ferdinand had to be replaced by Chris Smalling due to stiffness in his back.
However, Ferguson believes the pair will both be fine: "David's okay. Rio's a bit of stiffness. He's got that. From time to time he gets stiffness in his back.
"We brought Chris Smalling on as a safeguard. If he would have played it out he would probably have managed okay, but may not have been available for a couple of weeks.
"So I think we've done the right thing at the right time."

Continental Shelf and Coastal Processes
The shelf waters of southern Australia host a large summertime upwelling system spanning a distance of ~800 km with upwelling hotspots centred in the Bonney Coast and eastern Great Australian Bight (GAB) regions. Both historical and SA-IMOS data indicate that upwelling in the eastern GAB originates to the south and south-east of Kangaroo Island, is largely sub-surface, and directed along the 100 m isobath to the north and north-west. In addition, the results of the numerical simulations indicate that the low-frequency weather-band flow (associated with upwelling) is essentially directed along isobaths.
The following high-level science questions will guide the South Australia-IMOS observing strategy in this area:
a) There are several mechanisms for upwelling that include:
(i) Ekman wind forcing and modification due to alongshore divergence and CTWs,
(ii) upwelling by the bottom boundary layer of the FC,
(iii) canyons, and
(iv) ENSO variability.
The latter (iv) will be discussed in the next section. The mechanisms (ii) and (iii) will need data and studies that better define the magnitude and spatial extents of the FC. Studies of mechanisms (i) will need the current data streams (CTD, ADCP) to be continued and replicated for the Bonney Coast and complemented by hydrodynamic modelling that allows the data streams to be extrapolated in space and time.
Long (>10 year) time series are needed so that regression analyses can be made. We have in mind here that proxies for variables such as alongshore velocity and bottom temperatures may exist (e.g. coastal sea level and Sea Surface Temperature (SST)). In this case, expensive moorings might be sensibly replaced using sea level and SST data to provide useful estimates of upwelling.
b) What is the spatial and temporal extent of cross-shelf exchange associated with winter downwelling? Such downwelling may represent a major component of cross-shelf exchange. In addition, where does the water come from to replace the downwelled water and does the downwelling enhance the associated eastward shelf currents?
c) Are internal waves important? Internal waves may also be important in vertical mixing as found on the northwest shelf slope. Preliminary SAIMOS temperature logger data from the shelf slope also indicates such waves to exist and the observational data streams need to be re-continued.
d) What is the role of the intense surface waves in (i) modifying the ocean circulation and mixing, and (ii) determining the distribution of the benthos? A waverider buoy is needed in the mid-GAB as well as Gulf St Vincent to monitor changes in wave climatologies. These wave data could be used to validate coupled wave-hydrodynamic models. What is the wave climate in the Gulf St Vincent and how does it affect patterns of sediment transport, coastal erosion and pollutant dispersion along the Adelaide Metropolitan Coast?
e) What is the role of turbulent mixing processes on vertical diffusion and rates of diapycnal mixing? Ocean microstructure measurements are needed in the estuarine and shelf waters to quantify vertical budgets of heat, salt, nutrients and momentum. Observations of vertical diffusivities of heat, salt and nutrients can be used to validate wave-hydrodynamic models and biogeochemical fluxes which underpin new production in the four SA-IMOS oceanographic sub-regions.

As a recent TechRepublic article, "Surviving cultural shock is key to working abroad" explained, the biggest issue in working abroad is acclimating socially and professionally. That article included one IT consultant's experiences and offered insight on how to deal with cultural hurdles. You must also plan for other experiences you'll face when working abroad.
Making the right job decision
To get a deeper list of issues you need to evaluate when moving abroad, we asked TechRepublic members for feedback and insight.
The most critical decision, pointed out Thomas Ratliff, is whether to take the job. The global project manager, who's spent the past year and a half working in a small town in the Netherlands, believes anyone interested in working abroad must ask themselves the following questions:
- What is my true motivation for working abroad?
Don't forget to consider your life outside of work.
- Will the position be satisfying and challenging?
This is the double whammy test. If you end up not liking the country or location, will you at least like your job?
- What do I know about the local culture, customs, and way of life?
I recommend taking a vacation to your prospective location to get a sense of how you will fit in. It is also wise to attend a cross-cultural seminar to help you understand the local idiosyncrasies; it'll help you minimize frustrations and become acquainted with the local pace of life.
- How does my spouse truly feel?
I have seen several colleagues' marriages break apart from the stress. Remember that you will work all day and the opportunities for your spouse may be limited or nonexistent. You'll need honest and open communication, and you must take your spouse's concerns seriously.
- How will my spouse and family be affected by the geographic change?
This question may lead to discovering how your spouse really feels. Look at all your relationships with family and friends and discuss the possibility of not being able to see them or speak to them as often.
"When considering any opportunity to work abroad, you should look for a balance between personal and professional goals," said Ratliff. "Remember, living abroad is not for everyone."
Practical details
If you've answered the above questions and are eager to move ahead with the new job abroad, it's time to check out a second set of issues and questions submitted by TechRepublic member Fred Kaplan, a communications professional who spent five years traveling worldwide for a consulting business.
His list is aimed at topics that most people don't think about until after they've taken the job and perhaps moved to the new location.
"You need to understand that there is a lot of stress leaving your familiar surroundings and friends. That's why you need to learn as much about the culture and customs of not only the country you will be living in, but also the city or town," said Kaplan.
Here is his list of tips and questions:
- Make sure you have a thorough understanding of the compensation program.
Find out whether you'll be paid in local currency or your home country's currency, and become knowledgeable about the currency ratio between the two countries.
- Ask how often the company will allow you to return home for visits during the first six months and first year.
Also find out if your company is willing to help fund/reimburse you for that travel. Ask whether the company will promise to pay the cost of your final trip home—once a project is completed, your contract is not negotiated, or you're laid off from the employer.
- Relocation expenses for moving abroad will not be cheap; find out what the company will pay for in regards to moving your belongings.
Ask whether the company will pay the duty costs as well.
- Investigate the country's tax laws and regulations and the effect they will have on your budget.
Many times, companies can provide this information if they're global. Local tax laws shouldn't be dismissed—for example, when you buy a television in the United Kingdom, you pay a yearly tax that goes toward public television.
- Inquire about the country's financial requirements for opening checking and savings accounts.
Investigate access to newly deposited funds if your pay is sent electronically. Don't assume there will be an ATM on every corner.
- Find out what insurance policy the company provides for you while you're living in the new locale, and confirm that the company knows whom to notify in case of emergencies.
Also make sure that your current will and death instructions are considered valid in the new locale.
On the cultural side, both Ratliff and Kaplan agreed wholeheartedly with the previous article's tips about getting out and meeting people and developing a strong social circle for a strong assimilation experience in the new country.
"Don't become a workaholic because you're afraid to go out and meet new people outside of the work environment," said Kaplan.

Another nurse and I swap stories and tips and I even got her into this website. Its fun to have someone to talk shop with lol bc my husband just doesnt get it. Anyways, completely self taught and let me tell you patience is what it takes. Most of the time its about diving in and trying it yourself and seeing what works for you. But thats how I learn hands on and go for it.

VA Loan Closing Costs
VA loans are designed to allow military veterans, active service members, and eligible family to buy a house easily. The VA loan program helps borrowers secure loans with better terms, including no requirement for a down payment. This means borrowers can finance 100 percent of their loan without having to pay mortgage insurance or penalties for prepayment. However, this doesn't mean that VA loans are without cost. Borrowers need to calculate VA loan closing costs when deciding whether they are in a financial position to buy a house with a VA loan.
While VA loans are backed by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, the loans are secured through local mortgage lenders who have their own rules for VA loan closing costs. Local lenders set their own interest rates, closing costs, and discount points.
Before borrowers approach lenders about VA loans, they should be aware of common rules for VA closing costs.
VA Loan Closing Costs That Can Be Charged to Veterans
The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs guarantees the VA loan program. They offset the costs to taxpayers by assessing fees on all VA loans, which are called VA funding fees. Borrowers usually opt to finance these VA closing costs rather than pay them in cash at closing. Some borrowers can even receive a refund of the fee depending on their circumstance.
The VA funding fee is primarily determined by the amount of a borrower's down payment. This fee can also vary depending on whether it's the borrowers first use of the VA loan benefit, the borrower's military category, and the type of loan service the borrower receives. The fees can be added to the loan amount, but they do not affect how much money the borrower needs to provide to close the loan. For example, if a borrower buys a $200,000 house and finances the entire loan, the funding fee will be 2.15 percent, or $4,300. The basic VA funding fee is 2.15 percent, but it can be reduced to 1.5 percent with a 5 percent down payment and 1.25 percent with a 10 percent down payment.
There are a few exceptions to the VA funding fee. Borrowers usually do not have to pay the fee if:
- They receive compensation from the VA for a disability connected to their time in service.
- They are a surviving spouse of a service member who died in military service or from a disability related to service.
- They would be entitled to compensation for a disability related to their military service if they were not receiving retirement or active-duty pay.
If you do pay the funding fee, and you're eligible for an exemption, the VA will refund what you paid towards the fee.
Origination and Administrative Costs
Another fee associated with VA loan closing costs is a 1 percent origination fee. This is designed to fully compensate the lender for any processing and underwriting costs. For a $200,000 house, this fee would be $2,000.
Lenders can charge a flat 1-percent fee or itemize fees, as long as they don't exceed 1 percent of the cost of the house. Administrative fees can be charged for document preparation, loan closing, notary services, tax services, application and processing, delivery and wire, marketing, and trustee's services.
Miscellaneous Costs
Borrowers also can be charged for a credit report, which costs between $50 and $65 and is collected as soon as the borrower applies for a loan. An appraisal fee, which averages between $400 and $450 for a single-family house, is charged to determine the value of the property and is used to determine the maximum amount the can be borrowed without a down payment. This fee is non-refundable, even if the loan doesn't close, and is due when the appraisal is completed.
Title insurance covers a policy that a title company issues after conducting a title search and determining that there are no outstanding liens against the property. This fee varies based on the amount of the loan and regional insurance rates, but it usually ranges between $600 and $800.
A recording fee, which averages between $20 and $75, covers recording the borrower's deed in county records.
Fees That Sellers Can Be Asked to Pay
Many fees associated with VA loan closing costs can be negotiated with sellers, who may be willing to pay some or all of the fees to expedite the sale of the home. Once borrowers receive a loan estimate, which a lender must provide three business days after receiving a full loan application, they will have a good understanding of the costs associated with the purchase of the home and can begin discussions with the seller.
There is no limit on how much of a borrowers' VA loan closing costs a seller can pay, and the amount will depend on how well the buyer can negotiate. Sellers are not required to pay any VA closing costs and they may be unwilling to negotiate when housing markets are hot. However, sellers frequently will pay most or all closing costs for VA borrowers, including local and county taxes, recording fees, and VA appraisal fees.
Here are some costs that borrowers can approach sellers about paying:
- Discount points: These points represent a one-time fee at closing that can lower the interest rate on the loan from the current market rate. Borrowers can reasonably expect to negotiate with sellers for up to 2 discount points, which means the loan's interest rate would be lowered by 2 percent.
- Concessions: The seller can be asked to pay up to 4 percent of the amount of the loan in "concessions," which can include prepaid finance charges or liens against the borrower.
VA Loan Closing Costs Veterans Don't Have to Worry About Paying
Traditional loans require a 20 percent down payment to avoid mortgage insurance. Borrowers who put down a lesser amount are required to pay mortgage insurance that could increase monthly payments by several hundred dollars.
Here are other closing costs the VA does not allow military borrowers to pay:
- Termite inspection fees: Sellers are required to pay this fee in all but nine states. Borrowers may only be required to pay it if the loan is being refinanced.
- Brokerage fees, commissions, or "buyer broker" fees.
- Notary fees, lender document fees, or transaction coordinator fees.
How to Minimize VA Loan Closing Costs
For VA borrowers on a tight budget, VA closing costs can make or break a home purchase. Here are some ways that borrowers can proactively manage closing costs to ensure that their loan application is affordable and successful.
- Get advice before negotiating with the seller. One of the biggest benefits of VA loans is that sellers can pay all of the closing costs. Sellers have the right to refuse, however, so buyers should be savvy in their negotiations. Lenders and real estate agents can provide helpful advice about how to negotiate and restructure your offer to make paying VA loan closing costs more appealing to a seller. For example, a borrower paying $125,000 for a house may pay $4,000 in closing costs. A seller who accepts this offer may be willing to pay the VA closing costs in full for a $129,000 offer instead. The buyer then rolls the closing costs into the loan and does not have to provide cash at closing for the costs.
- Ask family and friends. Military borrowers may find that family members or close friends may be willing to cover their VA loan closing costs as a gift. It could be worth asking.
- Ask your lender. Lenders may agree to cover the closing costs if you agree to a slightly higher interest rate on the loan.
- Save in advance. Even if a seller pays all of the VA loan closing costs, veteran borrowers will still need some cash to pay fees during the purchasing process.
The VA loan program can be extremely helpful for military personnel, both assisting them in buying a house and staying in it. With some advance research, personal savings, and help from skillful lenders and real estate agents, borrowers can benefit from minimal VA loan closing costs and purchase a home with little money out-of-pocket.

Wow – has it really been this long since I've posted!? I guess it has! Life has certainly been busy. My absence can be attributed to being back in a degree program half time (which means 2 classes per term) taking courses that are fun but more challenging than the classes I took for my business degree, as well as getting my daughter through preschool and cheerleading, and still working full time and trying to keep the house running.
I work really hard to make sure that I am still spending as much quality time with my family as possible while life keeps up at this crazy speed, which will be for another year and a half until I'm done with school (the half was only added on recently when I had to drop a class and re-add it and two others to my "sentence" to help pass the originally dropped class). While I don't think that my daughter seeing me do homework a lot will have a poor impact on her, I do want her to know that she is still a priority to me and I'm always here for her. One of my favorite things to do is plan Family Movie Nights.
Our Family Movie Nights are kind of a "big deal." It's not often we are all sitting and watching a movie – TV is definitely one of the things that got kicked out of my list of things I do to make way for homework. The movie has to be planned and chosen in advance so that the PLANNING can commence!
Family Movie Night is not complete without a themed menu and snacks, comfy clothes on the couch, and generally a sleeping bag lined with pillows on the floor because that's cool to a 5 year old.
Big Hero 6 was one of the most recent movie nights we held. If you haven't seen that movie, I highly recommend it. It's got action, superheros, and a great message about friends & family and coping through a devastating loss. And of course, Baymax. Who doesn't love Baymax?
To accompany the movie, we had a Baymax cheese pizza, made complete by using sliced olives to add the Baymax face. You could certainly order a cheese pizza to save time, or do homemade or frozen. I took a shortcut and picked up a pre-made, half-baked cheese pizza from my grocery store and finished the baking at home. Those pizzas are great for those times that I actually do the grocery shopping in the store (opposed to online) and I've had such an ordeal of it that the last thing I want to do when I get the groceries home is actually cook them!
Honey Lemon-Aid was made by adding some honey to some powder mixed lemonade, but you could easily make this even better by making your lemonade from scratch. It would also be DELICIOUS with the addition of some fresh mint leaves… I know what I'll be making to drink tonight!
My daughter loved making the Max-mallows while my husband and I got the rest of the food together. These were so simple with the use of an edible food marker. I picked mine up at a local craft store that sells baking supplies. I'm not sure what is in it to make it edible, but some questions are better unasked. If including a child in this, be sure to explain that there are some markers that are edible, but most markers shouldn't be used to color food! She spent some time adding the Baymax face to some jumbo marshmallows and only ate about half of them in the process. It's definitely not a precision marker, so forgive the blotchiness.
Our Microbot Bites were simply some whole pitted black olives. I didn't realize how divisive black olives were until I had a daughter that loved them and noticed that my husband avoided them and scoffed whenever she asked for them. So if you're not lucky enough to be in a black olive eating family, well, you might have to think of something else to act as your Baymax face and Microbot Bites! Now, green olives – those things are disgusting!
Last but not least, I picked up a bag of lemon drop candy to be our sweet Honey Lemon Drops.
The menu wasn't as diverse as I typically like it, focusing only on two characters, but I wasn't feeling particularly creative and I didn't exactly have other easy-to-relate-to-food characters. The movie and food were hits, though, and the quality time in both thinking of food to have, preparing the food, and watching the movie while scarfing down was a wonderful break to the homework and chores.
If you'd like to go so far as putting together a menu for your Big Hero 6 movie night, I've attached a printable that is yours to enjoy!

Alan Pardew has achieved promotion three times during his career, as a player with Crystal Palace and as a manager with Reading and West Ham United.
In a successful career on both fronts, Pardew has also achieved in The FA Cup where he a reached the final twice, as a player with Crystal Palace in 1990 and as a manager with West Ham United in 2006.
He moved into management at Reading in 1999 following two spells in caretaker charge. Having turned a struggling outfit into one that could compete at the top end of the table, Pardew led Reading to a play-off final before winning automatic promotion to Division 1 in 2002, by finishing second.
Reading then enjoyed a great season by finishing fourth in Division One before losing to Wolves in the play-offs. Pardew was officially on the map as one of the games bright up and coming young managers.
His success resulted in interest from West Ham United where he was confirmed as their new manager in October 2003. That season, Pardew found himself in the play-offs yet again, this time being pipped by former club Palace.
The following season Pardew had to dig deep from high expectations at Upton Park. He subsequently prevailed in the end and it was fourth time lucky in the play-offs when the Hammers defeated Preston to return to the Premier League.
Pardew, a holder of the UEFA Pro License, entrenched the Hammers in the top flight and led them to the FA Cup final in 2006, losing only on penalties to Liverpool after a thrilling 3-3 draw. A change of club ownership was among factors that saw Alan leave Upton Park in December, 2006.
He was back in management inside a fortnight after his Christmas Eve appointment by Charlton Athletic. Pardew's new team were 19th in the Premier League. He left the Valley late in 2008, before returning to management with Southampton for the beginning of the 2009/10 season.
Despite a 10 point deduction, Pardew led the Saints to a 7th place finish in League One and also guided the club to victory in the Football League Trophy final on 28 March 2010 at Wembley, securing the club's first trophy since 1976. The Saints surprisingly parted with Pardew just three games into the 2010/11 season after a 4-0 away win against Bristol Rovers.
Since taking charge, Pardew guided Newcastle to a 12th place finish in the Barclays Premier League (2010/11). During that season the club recorded memorable home wins over Liverpool and West Ham United and also performed quite a remarkable comeback against Arsenal, earning a 4-4 draw after being 4-0 down at half time.
A quite remarkable season was to follow as Alan was named both the LMA Manager of the Year as well as the Barclays Premier League Manager of the Year, as recognition for Newcastle United's excellent campaign by finishing 5th in the Premier League. In the following two campaigns, Pardew guided Newcastle to 16th and 10th place finishes in the Barclays Premier League.
His playing highlights included winning promotion with Palace in 1989 and scoring an FA Cup semi-final winner against Liverpool the following season. Palace lost to Manchester United in the final after a replay.
Pardew then played for Charlton before becoming player-coach at Barnet and reserve-team manager at Reading.

I recently ran into a problem of setting up my guest OS (Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise) to obtain IP address from the domain DHCP server. Sadly, in VMPlayer's network settings, there are only 3 options available:
- Bridged: Connected directly to the physical network
- NAT: Used to share the host's IP address
- Host-only: A private network shared with the host
From the descriptive text above, "Bridged" network seems to be the most reasonable answer, but doesn't matter which of the 3 options I chose, it just refuses to get a DHCP IP…. It surely annoys me enough for me to turn to VirtualBox until I found the blog ( VMware Player 3.0 and Network Configuration ) which states the following:
The vmnetcfg.exe is included in the installer, but won't be installed.
1. Run the installer with /e option. For example:
VMware-player-3.0.0-197124.exe /e .\extract
All contents will be extracted to "extract" folder.
2. Open "network.cab" and copy vmnetcfg.exe to your installation folder,
typically "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Player\".
The word vmnetcfg (VM Network Configuration) certainly lights up my world again. After I followed the steps to extract vmnetcfg.exe and running the tool, not only have have more than 3 options, I also get to understand what this free software is doing underneath in my PC.
It looks like the problem was caused by that VM was trying to use other network adapters on my host machine to obtain DHCP IP instead of the one it's suppose to use. We had no way to view or change this in the basic user interface we got until this tool is loaded.
In my solution, I did the following
- Changed VMnet0 to type "Bridged"
- Changed "Bridged To" option from "Automatic" to "Intel(R) 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection" (Select the one that's connected to DHCP server)
- Click Apply button
Such a critical tool for VM to run properly, but VMWare decided to hide it away from users. Are they trying to play hide and seek and push the hair-pulling customers into purchasing license for VMWare Workstation?

Rights campaigners have condemned a French court for handing down Friday a three-month jail term to a teenager who insulted France's paramilitary gendarmes on his Facebook page.
The 19-year-old man posted the remarks after having been pulled over in January by police in a traffic check and forced to continue his journey on foot, said prosecutors at the court in Brest, Brittany, in northwest France.
He singled out for his insults the local gendarmes at Faou, in Brittany, but the officers came upon the remarks, which had been online for three months.
The court ruled that the remarks constituted a "public outrage", and as well as handing down the three-month jail sentence, ordered their author to pay 1,200 euros in damages to the officers concerned.
The defendant was not in court for the hearing.
Internet sans Frontieres (Interet Without Borders), which campaigns for free speech online, denounced the severity of the sentence.
This was the first time that someone had been handed a jail sentence for this kind of offence, it said.

Saracens are ready for the big occasion, says boss Mark McCall
Saracens boss Mark McCall has backed his players to thrive amid the high-octane atmosphere of a European Champions Cup clash against fellow tournament heavyweights Toulon.
McCall's men begin their European title defence at Stade Felix-Mayol on Saturday against the three-time champions.
And although it is only the opening game across six rounds of group action, the showdown could still go some way towards deciding which team tops the group and guarantees a quarter-final place.
"What happened last year doesn't come into it," said McCall, who saw Saracens lift the trophy by beating French challengers Racing 92 in Lyon.
"But I do think we have a group who love these occasions, and it brings the best out of them. They won't be intimidated by it - they will thrive on it.
"Last Sunday (Saracens beat Aviva Premiership rivals Wasps 30-14) was good preparation for it. Certain parts of our game are in good shape. Our defence was magnificent, and it has been all season.
"And we have dominated teams territorially, and it will be important against Toulon to put them in difficult positions and situations that they don't get every week in the Top 14."
Fly-half Owen Farrell makes his first appearance of the season for Saracens after recovering from back and hip trouble, while Alex Goode features at full-back and a powerful pack includes the likes of Maro Itoje, Schalk Burger and Billy Vunipola.
Saracens skipper Brad Barritt added: "It promises to be an amazing atmosphere, as you get with every home Toulon game.
"They are going to have a packed ground with a passionate fan-base, and it's something that we have really enjoyed over the last few seasons, going to these home fortresses and doing our best to go there and win.
"We know this season is a new chapter, and we know that we have to work doubly hard to get anywhere near the achievements of last season."
Toulon have already lost three games in the French Top 14 this term, but their European Cup pedigree is of the highest calibre, having recorded a tournament hat-trick between 2013 and 2015.
"On Saturday, we want victory at any price. It will not be easy, but we will do our best," Toulon head coach Diego Dominguez said.
"The challenge is high, and my players will be highly motivated. They are aware of the importance of this game.
"Saracens have really developed as a team over the last two years. They attack well, they defend well, they have speed and good finishers. They have all the things that the big teams have."
Northampton, still without injured England skipper Dylan Hartley, begin their Champions Cup campaign against Franklin's Gardens visitors Montpellier on Saturday in a tough group that also includes Leinster and Castres.
"I think the Champions Cup is a fantastic opportunity to test yourself against the best," Saints captain Tom Wood said.
"We've enjoyed some great occasions in Europe, and there seems to be that little bit extra about it - the atmosphere, the buzz. European rugby can be a chance to springboard your season, and it's certainly worked that way for us in the past.
"We recognise that we've got some very good teams in our way, but we want to be competing, we want to qualify from our group and we want to go as far as we possibly can."
Wasps, meanwhile, should encounter few problems against Italian minnows Zebre at the Ricoh Arena on Saturday, where the home side hand a first start to former Bath centre Kyle Eastmond, and Frank Halai lines up on the wing instead of an injured Christian Wade.
"We did well last season and probably exceeded everyone's expectations by qualifying from the dreaded 'pool of death' and progressing to the semi-final," Wasps rugby director Dai Young said.
"However, last year is last year. It counts for nothing this year. We must start afresh and put all our focus on trying to qualify from the group."
Sale Sharks are also in action on Saturday, tackling the Scarlets in Llanelli, while Leinster host Castres and Connacht entertain Toulouse. Sunday's Champions Cup schedule sees a mouthwatering clash in Devon between Exeter and Clermont Auvergne, with Ulster travelling to face Bordeaux-Begles and Munster visiting Racing 92 in Paris.

A lush spa-focused oasis in Scottsdale
109 Rooms / 56 Suites / 8 Luxury Homes
Nestled against the curves of Camelback Mountain and Paradise Valley, Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa sprawls across 53 acres of desert dappled with orange trees, palm trees, saguaros, bougainvillea and artisanal bronze wind bells. It's the sole property on the Scottsdale mountain, making it a bucolic option for relaxation and recreation, including a 12,000-square-foot spa, fitness center, hiking trails, swimming pools and tennis courts.
Originally constructed in the 1950s, the resort got a facelift from Allen + Philp Architects before opening as Sanctuary in 2001. The haute hideaway continues to be renovated almost annually, recently with the addition of 24 new spa casitas. Other accommodations range from luxury mountain casitas to loaded mini-mansions.
Sanctuary's restaurant, Elements, blends Asian and American cuisines into demiurgic dishes like kimchi bacon and hoisin-braised short ribs.
Bartenders at adjacent Jade Bar pour an array of craft cocktails to pair with the lounge's scenic views.
Our Inspector's Highlights
• See the sun sink between Camelback Mountain and Piestewa Peak during the resort's daily sunset ceremonies. Have champagne salutes on the shaded patio and grassy slopes outside the restaurant.
• Enjoy exclusive access to Camelback Mountain hiking trails, which are a short walk or complimentary golf cart ride away, along with resort-provided backpacks stocked with water and healthful snacks.
• Sanctuary Spa's Asian-inspired décor and menu of services includes views of Praying Monk rock, 12 indoor/outdoor treatment rooms, a steam room, a bamboo-bordered coed courtyard, a full-service salon and a boutique.
• Exercise options abound: five tennis courts, three swimming pools, yoga-ready knolls and a state-of-the-art gym (including a lap pool, where Olympic gold medalist Misty Hyman gives swimming lessons).
• Chef Beau MacMillan (of Food Network fame) puts an Asian spin on farm-fresh American fare in Sanctuary's restaurant, Elements. Neighboring Jade Bar accentuates garden-to-glass-style libations.
Things to Know
• The Scottsdale hotel was formerly John Gardiner's Tennis Ranch, and during the 1970s, luminaries including Billie Jean King, Johnny Carson, Elton John and Liza Minnelli swung rackets here.
• Jade Bar's top-notch bartenders, led by head mixologist Eddie Garcia, teach lessons in libations to a cozy class (limited to 20 guests) every Saturday at noon. Class costs $40 per person (preregistration required) and includes three to four artisanal drinks garnished with slices of cocktail history and philosophy.
• Sanctuary's infinity-edge pool is a cell-phone-free zone, and accessible to adults only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, when guests must be 16 and older to make a splash.
The Rooms
• Sanctuary's 109 casitas and suites feature Red Flower Asian Neroli bath products, custom Kashwere blankets, and bed linens by Fili D'Oro, and are adorned with succulents and local art.
• Eight private homes are for rent, with amenities like automated blinds, security systems, fire pits, private pools, floor-to-ceiling windows, indoor/outdoor showers, colossal kitchens and balconies.
• There's a great view from every room at the luxury hotel, but when only the best vistas will do, book one of the Camelback Suites. These new one- or two-bedroom suites (1,000 and 1,500 square feet, respectively) proffer sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and Paradise Valley, which twinkles like a little universe at night.
The Restaurants
• Sanctuary offers 24-hour room service, but Elements boasts a beautiful setting. Champagne chandeliers, 1,000 bottles of wine in the wall and a fire pit provide a lovely atmosphere for dining.
• Elements executive chef Beau MacMillan served as personal chef to hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, cooked alongside Al Roker on the Today Show and catered for Britney Spears.
• Jade Bar serves classic and creative cocktails made with premium spirits and fresh local fruits and herbs. Stop by during the day to drink in panoramic views, too.

Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, developed a totally new way of looking at human nature. Only now, with the hindsight of the half-century since his death, can we assess his true legacy to current thought. As an experienced psychiatrist himself, Anthony Storr offers a lucid and objective look at Freud's major theories, evaluating whether they have stood the test of time, and in the process examines Freud himself in light of his own ideas. An excellent introduction to Freud's work, this book will appeal to all those broadly curious about psychoanalysis, psychology, and sociology.
Storr's brief, elegant, and interesting book coolly surveys what we might term the house of Freud and finds almost everything flawed...yet he does not dispute that the builder of the shaky house was a genius.

Itanagar, Nov 1 (UNI) Tirap Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Habung Donyi yesterday visited Pongchao village in Arunachal's Tirap district to take stock of the situation in the aftermath of the October 25 gruesome ambush in which three Assam Rifles personnel and a civilian contractor were killed.
One of the personnel was a local youth.
In his interaction with the chiefs, gaon burahs (GBs) and people of the area, Donyi urged them to maintain calm and appealed for cooperation with the security forces and the civil administration in restoring peace in the area, informed official sources.
The ADC visited the spot where the ambush took place, about 3 km from Pongchao on the Pongchao-Konsa road, accompanied by circle officer L W Bapu and Assam Rifles' officer commanding Major Nishad.
Major Nishad, who is in-charge of the combing operation here, said the Assam Rifles was maintaining maximum restraint while interrogating the people.
The civil administration and the security forces were working in tandem to nab the culprits with the help of the villagers, the sources added.
The state government has announced an ex-gratia of Rs. 50,000 to the families of the Assam Rifle personnel and Rs 1 lakh to the civilian's family.
Moreover, the Centre has been urged for deployment of additional forces in Tirap and Changlang districts to tackle the situation.

Kidzee, Dabur Glucoplus, McDonald's enter the world of Chhota Bheem
Roping in celebrities has always been one of the significant elements of a brand's marketing campaign. Now for the first time brands have associated with a local animated character 'Chhota Bheem' from Green Gold Productions.
In order to create buzz about the newly launched local animated movie 'Chhota Bheem and the throne of Bali', MATES, the agency which has facilitated the associations, has undertaken innovative activities.
Chhota Bheen has tied up with Kidzee and Dabur Glucoplus, and has also launched co-branded promos in association with McDonald's.
As part of the promotions on television, the local animated character has visited reality shows such as 'India ka Sabse Bada Dramebaaz'. The character was interwoven with the script and was also present in animated form at the show with all the contestants.
Chhota Bheem was also seen performing Jumping Jhapak for IPL – seen on Sony Max and Sony Six. Chutki and Raju, the other two characters from the film performed on Jumping Jhapak as well. Chhota Bheem was also telecast on 'Saans Bahu aur Betiyan' on Aaj Tak on April 30, 2013.
Other marketing initiatives include contests on Radio City for one week as well as contest, articles, photos, videos on Rediff for two weeks. Promos have also been launched on Live Media. As part of the on-ground promotions, Chhota Bheem visited Esselworld and Water Kingdom on April 28, 2013.
Chhota Bheem and seven other characters also visited Hamley's store in Phoenix Mall, Mumbai.
Apart from the integrations, Chhota Bheem has partnered with Worldoo wherein kids can watch Chhota Bheem videos, play Chhota Bheem games, read comics, choose Chhota Bheem avatars and design their homes with specially designed Chhota Bheem themes as well.
Leveraging the character 'Chhota Bheem' through brands
According to Darshana Bhalla, CEO, MATES, internationally though we have seen content translate in terms of various commercial aspects and foray into various categories of products, India still lacks facilities to carry out the same. Hence, intrinsically they are taken to brands which exist in that particular space and any such properties which build momentum is leveraged through already existing brand categories.
Also what brands bring to 'Chhota Bheem' is media capability. It comes from a production house which does not make ten films a year but is primarily into TV content. For them to magnify the media endeavour calls for a lot of effort and investment.
Last but not the least, the effort of communicating through various brands and media platforms was to make the character larger than TV. Bhalla further added, "We understood that there were different brand categories which can leverage it. Chhota Bheem exudes the brand philosophy that these brands stand for"
What does it mean for the brands?
Elaborating on the rationale behind the association, Abhinav John Bara, Brand Head, Dabur India stated, "Dabur Glucoplus C is the flavor range of Dabur Glucose D. The brand has kids as its core target group and offers the benefits of goodness and energy of Glucose along with a very appealing taste, which is a must for kids. Chhota Bheem is currently a rage amongst the kids. When MATES provided an opportunity for Dabur GlucoPlus to be associated with Chhota Bheem franchise, we felt it would be great opportunity, as both brands embody the same attributes of fun and goodness, resulting in a win-win partnership for both of us."
Amit Bhatnagar, Business Head of Kidzee Preschools said that as India's largest preschool chain, it is their constant endeavour to associate themselves with properties that celebrate childhood and 'Chhota Bheem and the Throne of Bali' was a natural fit for them.
Another significant element which drives brand associations is the fact that there is an immense amount of clutter and increasingly lesser ownership on television. Bhalla further added, "Even a slightly larger sponsorship will attract nothing less then 10 to 12 sponsors. But through this, though you do have an assurity of being seen, you don't have impact. But the minute one undertakes a film out of television content, it gives you assurity of integration, impact and ownership."

A man and three members of his family were jailed for at least 56 years yesterday after being convicted of murdering his pregnant wife claiming she was possessed by evil spirits.
One of the four smothered 21-year-old Nalia Mumtaz while the others held her down, apparently in an attempt to drive out the 'jinn' spirit from her body.
The killers included her husband, Mohammed Tauseef Mumtaz – who later claimed she suffocated herself – his parents, Zia Ul-Haq and Salma Aslam, both 51, and his brother in law Hammad Hassan.
The murder of the isolated young woman was said to have been instigated by Mumtaz's parents.
The four were convicted in July following a three-month trial after a jury ruled they had deliberately smothered her. Mr Justice Keith handed them mandatory life terms yesterday.
He said that, while the murder conviction left no room for doubt about what had happened at the family home in Handsworth Wood, Birmingham, the prosecution had been unable to 'say for sure' what the motives behind the killing had been.
The court heard Mumtaz, who suffers from a genetic condition which has left him deformed, married his bride in an arranged ceremony in her homeland of Pakistan.
This was 14 months before she died while six months pregnant with their first child.
Birmingham Crown Court heard that a day before her death in the early hours of a July 2009 morning, Mrs Mumtaz, who spoke no English, had sounded 'stressed' when she called her parents to tell them her husband – and others in their neighbourhood – had been suggesting she may have become pregnant during a solo trip to Pakistan.
But the judge said a 'less unlikely explanation for what happened' was that the defendants believed Naila had been possessed by a jinn – a mischievous spirit mentioned in the Koran – 'and that they deliberately smothered her in order to get rid of the jinn'.
The judge added: 'That's not an easy thing for those of us in the West to understand, but the evidence (from the trial) was that a belief in jinns is widespread in the community in which they lived.' During the trial, prosecutor Christopher Hotten QC said family members had told police a person had been present at the house praying 'to get the spirit out of her'.
Mumtaz claimed his wife had 'suffocated herself by putting her hand in her mouth and she tried to strangle herself' and that his parents and Hassan, 24, who all lived at the house, were trying to hold Mrs Mumtaz down to stop her from harming herself. Ambulance staff discovered Mrs Mumtaz unconscious in a bedroom with bruising to her arms and face. She died shortly after being taken to hospital at around 4.30am.
Prosecutors said that while 'complex cultural beliefs' underpinned the defence case, the defendants had given untruthful accounts.
The court heard Mumtaz suffered from Klippel-Feil Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder which means the neck is shortened. However, it was alleged his bride had willingly entered into the arranged marriage, despite his deformity.
Defence barristers yesterday said that at the most, the defendants were guilty of a desire to cause 'really serious bodily injury', and not death.
Ul-Haq and Aslam, who the judge said were 'more likely to have instigated what was done to Naila', were sentenced to a minimum term of 15 years each. Their son and Hassan, who is married to the couple's daughter, were sentenced to a minimum of 13 years.
Hassan was said to have acted like a 'dutiful son-in-law', who, like Mumtaz, 'went along' with what the couple thought should be done. Mumtaz muttered 'I loved her' as his father guided him out of the dock.
Detective Inspector Simon Astle of West Midlands Police, who investigated the case, described it as 'tragic and deeply upsetting'. He added: 'It is unthinkable that those who she was closest to would take her life in the belief she had been possessed by evil spirits.'
In a statement, Mrs Mumtaz's family said their loved one was a 'happy, confident and beautiful young woman'.
They hoped the case would help 'raise awareness of the issues faced by Naila and young people like her', adding: 'We need to empower people who are vulnerable and isolated to seek help in these circumstances.'
