OPINION: There are enemies amongst us, and it is up to families, friends and neighbours to be vigilant to defeat their evil intentions.
The enemies are the low-life weasels ripping off elderly people.
Though in recent weeks I have kept this column light-hearted, this week I am making an exception.
You see, I've been delving into the chilling subject of financial elder abuse, both by families and by unscrupulous crooks, some posing as tradesmen.
I've learnt a thing or two.
The first is that Age Concern is largely correct that ripping off the elderly is a fairly easy thing to get away with.
All you do is borrow money from them with some cock and bull story, and never pay it back, or ludicrously overcharge for a service like house painting.
Either that, or you take their money after securing an enduring power of attorney.
The police will more likely than not call it a civil matter, especially if it is within a family. Even if they think a crime has been committed, old people often make poor witnesses easily shredded by slick defence lawyers, so the chances of charges being laid are small.
Even if a person, through the tireless efforts of family, gets some justice, it is likely to come late, be the equivalent of a slap with a limp lettuce leaf, and not result in the money coming back.
Take the recent example of Wellington real estate agent Pat William Walker, who ripped off a 92-year-old elderly woman of her life savings.
He did it in 2007.
He's been sentenced to home detention, and ordered to pay reparation.
Justice. Only he's bankrupt, and she died two years ago.
I'm not a Sensible Sentencing Trust advocate, but this kind of thing makes me want to set up an AP to make regular donations.
So what can we do?
First, prevention is key. Once money has gone, the chances of getting it back are slim.
Families must be vigilant. If you have a rapacious family member, keep tabs on their relationship with mum. Yes, single women more often fall victim. Ditto non-family members getting close.
Neighbours and friends can play a part too.
Don't turn a blind eye. Act, if you think a weasel is at work.
Age Concern is a staunch advocate for the elderly, and can be enormous help in ending an abusive situation, with or without the police being involved.
Families must work hard to make this happen.
Banks have pledged to train staff to be vigilant for signs of elder abuse. If they fail, they can be challenged to help undo the damage, including by making payments. The same goes for other businesses.
Walker worked for the Professionals. They stumped up $70,000 to his victim.
Getting the police to act can be harder. Expect to have to gather evidence yourself.
Talk with mum or dad about security. Little things like not keeping PIN numbers with cards.
Just look at the harm done by career criminal Brian Edward Tehuia, sentenced earlier this month to a more satisfying four years in jail, who burgled the elderly knowing so many keep PINs with their cards.
■ Be available to talk, and advise, but do not dominate.
■ Be vigilant. Once money is gone, it is gone.
■ Remember, mum's money is not ''your inheritance''.

No Deal Yet After Free Agent QB Vince Young's Visit To Buffalo
Young had a workout with the Buffalo Bills on Wednesday and met with coaches, then left town without striking a deal on a contract. Indications are no announcement is imminent according to Mark Gaughan of the Buffalo News. Young threw passes in the Bills' field house to Buffalo receivers David Nelson, Donald Jones, Naaman Roosevelt and Marcus Easley, the team reported on its website. Bills General Manager Buddy Nix had this to say about the Young visit in an interview with Rochester radio station WHTK: "It'll probably be made a bigger deal than it should be. We try to look at all avenues that might get us better and if we can, create some competition at that position for a backup job. We're set with our quarterback, committed to Fitz and are completely with him. We think the more good people we put around him, the better we'll be. If we can bring in some competition for a backup role, one of them will make our team better."

Football: Wayne Valley cranks it up in win over West Milford
WAYNE - A glance at the 2013 Wayne Valley football roster reveals that the Indians are well-stocked with lots of experience at just about every position. There appeared to be, however, one glaring exception - quarterback.
This year's starter, senior Billy Crank, comes to the job with just 12 varsity completions under his belt while filling in occasionally for last year's starter Luke Primerano.
"That's nothing new here," said Wayne Valley head coach Brian O'Connor. "I haven't started many underclassmen at quarterback here. That's why we're inexperienced at quarterback almost every year."
In Friday's opening day, 46-22 romp over West Milord, it was the seemingly inexperienced Crank leading the team to victory. The senior torched West Milford for 190 passing yards, three touchdowns passes and a two point conversion pass.
"If there was a concern about our lack of experience at quarterback, it wasn't coming from inside the team," O'Connor said. "Billy's a good kid, a smart kid and a hard worker. He's had older quarterbacks ahead of him the last few years and he knows he has some quality quarterbacks coming up behind him. That never bothered him. He knows it comes with the territory. He just comes in everyday and worked hard to make sure he was ready when his turn came around."
In his debut as a full-time starter, Crank threw touchdowns to Liam Connors (7 yards), Mark DeLuise (33 yards) and Nick Goodwin (40 yards. He also fired a two-point conversion to Connors.
Connors caught 6 passes for 57 yards. DeLuise caught 3 passes. Anthony Landberg, the team's leading rusher a year ago, left in the first quarter with a turned ankle. He had 39 yards rushing at the time. Sophomore Will Kearney also ran for 39 yards and Anthony Duncan rushed for a 7-yard score. Jacob Anderson kicked a field goal.
Wayne Valley also scored twice on defense - first Taylor Kishky returned a fumble 8 yards for a score and Dave Drozjock scored on a 36 yard interception return.
Justin Walker pounced on the West Milford quarterback for a safety. Walker finished with 9 tackles and 2 sacks. Drozjock finished with 6 tackles and 2 interceptions.
"We were up 28-0 halfway through the first quarter against a solid opponent," O'Connor said. "Obviously, there's a lot to be pleased about. But there's an old saying, 'you're never as good as you think you are and you're never as bad as you think you are.' We were sloppy in places, especially in the second half. We may have gotten a little complacent. And I'm sure I'll see things on film that I didn't like. Overall, I'm pleased, but there are a few things we'll need to improve upon before the next game."

Understanding customers' loyalty intentions towards online shopping: an integration of technology acceptance model and fairness theory
Authors: Chiu, Chao-Min1; Lin, Hua-Yang2; Sun, Szu-Yuan3; Hsu, Meng-Hsiang3
Source: Behaviour and Information Technology, Volume 28, Number 4, July 2009 , pp. 347-360(14)
Publisher: Taylor and Francis Ltd
As with any other information system (IS), the success of online shopping depends largely on customer satisfaction and other factors that will eventually increase customers' loyalty intentions. This article integrates two major variables of technology acceptance model (TAM), trust, and fairness to construct a model for investigating the motivations behind customers' loyalty intentions towards online shopping. The hypothesised model is validated empirically using data collected from 311 customers of an online shopping store. The results indicated that distributive, procedural and interactional fairness were strong predictors of trust, which in turn influenced satisfaction. Distributive fairness and interactional fairness exhibited significant positive effects on satisfaction. Perceived usefulness and satisfaction influenced loyalty intention towards online shopping. Perceived ease of use acts indirectly on loyalty intention through the mediating effect of perceived usefulness. Implications for theory and practice and future research directions are discussed.Keywords: e-commerce; fairness; loyalty intention; online shopping; technology acceptance model; trust

Treasurer says Miami's Jackson Health faces fiscal train wreck
The grim news that Jackson Health System lost another $11.1 million in December and has a dwindling supply of cash to meet its payroll prompted Marcos Lapciuc, treasurer of the Public Health Trust that oversees Jackson, to warn Monday that "there's a train at 200 mph heading straight at us." The latest information on Jackson's financial health came as Jackson executives prepared for Thursday's annual meeting with the Miami-Dade County Commission to explain where the health system stands and what its future may hold. Jackson presently gets about $335 million a year from sales and property taxes. Commissioners have said repeatedly in recent weeks that the county can't give Jackson anything more. The system's main problem continues to be a decline in patient admissions, Jackson executives said during a meeting of the Trust's fiscal committee Monday, although preliminary estimates for January show an increase in admissions.

This condo was absolutely great. All rooms were clean and very comfortable; the kitchen was very nicely equipped with china and utensils as well as all cleaning needs. The best features, however, were the beautiful ocean view from the lanai and the close proximity to town (an easy walk). In addition, the price per night was an excellent deal. We will stay there again when we travel to the Big Island, and do highly recommend this condo to anyone traveling to the Big Island.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+.

The condo was a very pleasant place to stay, a great location close to everything on the Kona side of the island. Everything was neat and well maintained. The kitchen was well-stocked. I slept on the couch futon and it was very comfortable. The grounds of the complex were stunning and the pool was beautiful. Was nice to be so close to the ocean, to be able to see it from the lanai and hear the sound of the waves. I would definitely recommend this place to others.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Barbara Sheehan trial begins – accused of killing her husband, an Irish American cop - VIDEO
Supporters line up to support her on opening day of trial
The trial of a mother from Queen, accused of shooting and killing her Irish-American husband Ray, a retired NYPD sergeant, began in State Supreme Court in Queens on Friday.
In the opening remarks the jury was told by both the defense and prosecution that Barbara did kill her husband at their Howard Beach home on February 18, 2008 by using two different guns, one of which was his own weapon, to shoot him 11 times.
Defence attorney Michael Dowd described the shooting as self defense.
"That morning, he actually pointed the automatic at her and said he was going to kill her," Dowd told the court.

He claims the former cop had beaten his wife for years and she had to protect their two children from him also.
Sheehan was flanked by two dozen relatives and friends in the court room who all wore purple ribbons of support against domestic violence.
She briefly spoke to reporters while leaving court: "I'm really having a hard time right now, it's a little hard for me to speak right now," she told reporters.
She is expected to take to the stand in the coming weeks, with her two adult children.
She has pleaded not guilty and is free on $1 million bail.

Investment will probably take a hit with this proposal; unless you are an inside trader, making 3.8 percent plus commissions in today's markets is hard to do.

Stellar Series at an Amazing Price! A Naruto Fan 4 Life!,
This review is from: Naruto Uncut Box Set: Season One, Vol. 1 (DVD)
I've always been a fan of Naruto. I like the drawing style and character design very much. It's unique and has a style all its own. Very much like Dragonball Z. However, I've actually never seen a single episode. I rarely get to watch TV anymore and whenever I pass the DVD aisle at my local video store, I always see Naruto individual DVDs and box sets on sale. I always have the insatiable urge that entices me to want to spend and splurge money on Naruto DVDs, but I never do. The individual EDITED discs are at twenty dollars a pop for a few episodes and the UNCUT box sets that only contain a few episodes can range up to sixty bucks. It just never seemed worth it to be at that price. I just felt like Viz Video was milking this money making machine to death with the double, or triple dipping as I like to call it. I knew with time that the complete box sets would be just around the corner. Good things do come to those who wait. Low and behold, the Naruto season one volume one comes out and at such a great price (For under thirty bucks) and I am a full blown Naruto fan for life now. When I popped in disc one I thought I would dislike the show because it starts off with Naruto being very immature, running around, acting up, and laughing like a fool, and the voice actor wasn't doing much for me. I have a strange feeling he is voiced by a woman for some reason. But about fifteen minutes into the show for episode one, things started to unravel and the story finally kicked in. The pace of the show changes dramatically from light heart students at a ninja academy who joke around to a serious story developing and waiting in the wings. This is a must have for any fan of art, comics, cartoons, and anime. You don't have to be a fan of anime to enjoy this show, but I know you will love it. The box set comes in this plastic case with six discs inside and I am so happy it's not a cardboard paper case with thin plastic sleeves - Hundred and hundreds of minutes of sheer anime entertainment. I much prefer this over the old packaging. Interesting story line and overall it's a lush intricate story about a boy who is experiencing social displacement and finding his own place in the world of life. Comments

The English language is worse than the original Japanese -- but that goes without saying, doesn't it? The Japanese Naruto has a much more appropriate voice for his age. But the voice talent for the English dubs is terrible... not just Naruto, but all of them.

You are so right I just got this myself any one buying this will not be disappointed. plus the plastic case opens like a book and is better then the card board and way easier to open. I have
a Naruto set in a cardboard box and it's a pain when you open it unfolds into 1 long annoying strip is how I'll describe it

If you haven't even seen a single episode of this series you probably shouldn't review it. Although this is one of my favorite anime series and the box sets that have been released for it are a great deal, (which is a first for the company who licenses it..) I find it odd for someone to claim to like it and rate it five stars who hasn't even seen it..

Dear brothers and sisters, I would like to begin with my personal story. In my school in Swat I was considered to be a good and obedient student and I also used to get top marks in my class.
Apart from my school text books I read nine books from the library. Two of them were The Alchemist and Sophie's World.
I thought I did a great job in my fifteen years of life.
But last year, seven days after the incident that I faced, I was brought here for further treatment. When I was discharged from the hospital I was introduced to this new society, which is different from our society in Pakistan in many ways.
Here people tell me that they have read hundreds of books. It doesn't matter how old they are; they take a keen interest in reading, even children of six and seven years have read more books than me. Now I have challenged myself that I will read thousands of books and I will empower myself with knowledge.
Pens and books are the weapons that defeat terrorism. I truly believe the only way we can create global peace is through educating not only our minds but our hearts and souls. This is the way forward to our destiny of peace and prosperity.
Dear brothers and sisters, books are very precious. Some books can travel you back centuries and take you into the future. In some books, you will visit the core of your heart and in others you will go out into the universe. Books keep ones feelings alive. Aristotle's words are still breathing, Rumi's poetry will always inspire and Shakespeare's soul will never die. There is no better way to explain the importance of books than to say that even God chose the medium of a book to send his message to his people.
This great library which is the biggest Library in Europe, has educated the people of Birmingham for decades and will continue to enlighten future generations. As once said, a room without books is like a body without soul and I say 'a city without a library is like a graveyard.'
Dear brothers and sisters, we must not forget that 57 million children are out of school. We must speak up for peace and development in Nigeria, Syria and Somalia. We must speak up for the children of Pakistan,
India and Afghanistan who are suffering from terrorism poverty child labour and child trafficking.
Let us help them through our voice, action and charity/ Let us help them to read books and go to school.
And let us not forget that even one book, one pen, one child and one teacher can change the world.

The Open 2013 diary: 'Dafty' keeps David Lynn on edge
England's David Lynn will double check he has a full allocation of 14 clubs in his bag before he sets out for his second round today.
Lynn takes extra care because of the absent mindedness of his Liverpudlian caddy Wayne Husselbury, known to his boss by the nickname "Dafty".
"Last week in Inverness he left behind a huge pot of shampoo along with his aftershave in his hotel room," revealed Lynn after shooting a 79 in yesterday's first round.
"Then this morning we were halfway through our half-hour drive to the course and we have to stop because Dafty has put flipflops on and left his trainers back where we were staying."
New traps fall rather short
To make life tougher for the world's best golfers this year the R&A made alterations to around six holes, a good example being the first where a new bunker has been placed on the left-hand side of the fairway at 300 yards.
But, perhaps like Muirfield's men- only policy, their judgement yesterday looked a bit outdated. The recent heatwave and rock-hard ground conditions put drives beyond 300 yards within the range of even the pro game's shortest hitters.
The effect on club selection was best spelled out by Belgian big-hitter Nicolas Colsaerts. "I am probably hitting the ball 40 yards further this week with my driver so when I am on the tee I am thinking about the ball going 370 yards," he said.
Hanson wastes Luiten's place
There will not be too much friendly talk in the next few months between Swedish Ryder Cup star Peter Hanson and Joost Luiten at European Tour events.
On Wednesday Hanson told the media he had disc problems in his back. That did not stop him making his 2.34pm tee time yesterday but after five holes he dropped out – too late for Luiten, who was first reserve, to get to play.

Wow. Unfortunately, I'm stuck here for 2 nights. Let me begin...
We arrived at 4:20 (check is at 4:00) They couldn't get us our (reserved) room for an hour. We waited like pigs to the slaughter in line with with 20 other people.
The room is mediocre. Mostly clean except for the carpets that weren't vacuumed. The kitchenette is very small and not very useful.
The elevator is noisy and the window is filthy. The exterior halls are dirty and there are room service garbage bags laying around. The pool/hot tub looks decent enough.
When we made our reservations online, we were promised free drinks from 6:00-7:00 every night. They stopped doing this, even though it still says they do in the in-room book. Where I come from, this is called bait-and-switch... and it's illegal.
Apparently, the free shuttle doesn't actually take you to Disney World. I takes you to Epcot, where you can take an internal Disney shuttle to Disney World.
And, to top it all off, when my daughters went to take a shower, there were no towels. (not one) So we called the front desk where they were rude to us and hung up on my wife. About an hour later they showed up with towels.
Suffice it to say, I'm not very happy, and management doesn't seem to care.
I can wait for breakfast...

"A lot of times a junior college kid is a risk-reward thing," Dorchester said. "We're not going to take junior college guys at a position we deem to be a strength. You take a junior college guy you expect to be a guy who's going to be a factor that season or at worst the following season."
"Mark Glowinski redshirted last season, which is fine because we didn't necessarily need him to be a contributor last season. It's a different story now and it's time for him to step up this season. We need guys to play. If you're not a starter, at least be part of the two-deep."

SATURDAY IS the first day of a busy recruiting week as the Mountaineers play host to a swarm of recruits across seven days, capped by the popular day camp July 27 that will have all six players currently committed to the 2014 class and one of the two committed to the 2015 class.
The most notable visitor, though, figures to be on campus July 22. Former Pitt running back Rushel Shell said on his Twitter page two weeks ago that he'll be visiting that day. He's considering WVU and Kentucky after rushing for 641 yards and four touchdowns as a freshman. Shell first wanted to transfer to UCLA, but changed his mind and tried to return to Pitt, but was denied.
Shell plans to visit Kentucky and has said he'll make a decision after he makes both visits. He'll sit out the upcoming season.
* * *
PRIOR TO Tuesday, WVU's only member of a preseason watch list was something of a surprise. Charles Sims, a running back transfer who is eligible for his senior season in 2013 after graduating early from the University of Houston, was nominated for the national player of the year award when he was named to the Maxwell Award watch list last week.
There was another surprise Tuesday when Jordan Thompson was named to the Biletnikoff Award watch list for the nation's top receiver. Thompson caught 13 passes for 85 yards as a freshman last season. He slumped late in the schedule with one catch in the final seven games and was subjected to unique treatment from the coaching staff in spring football.
Thompson wasn't allowed to speak to the media in the spring and was routinely critiqued by Coach Dana Holgorsen and offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson. Thompson impressed in the spring game for a second straight season with six receptions for 123 yards and three touchdowns. The performance was not accepted as a turning point, though, and Holgorsen pointed out Thompson caught eight passes for 66 yards and a score in the 2012 game.
"He will go down in the history books as the greatest spring-game player of all-time," Holgorsen said afterward. "Until he plays like that in a game, we're going to call it like it is. I haven't seen him play like that in a game yet. Until he does that in a game, we're not going to talk about it."

TaigMarks Agency Represents Dicor Corp.
August 5, 2010 by RV Business · Leave a Comment
TaigMarks Inc. has been named as the new marketing and public relations agency for Dicor Corp. Both firms are based in Elkhart, Ind.
TaigMarks is a full-service advertising, marketing and public relations firm with particular expertise in product launches and branding strategy. It has a long history of service to the RV industry, including clients such as Coachmen-Forest River, Workhorse Custom Chassis, Dometic, Blue Ox and TRA Green Certification. It also serves a diverse range of clients involved in such fields as health care, hospitality, outdoor recreation, cabinetry, financial services, trucking, higher education and poultry drinking systems, according to a news release.
Presently TaigMarks is assisting Dicor with an extensive rebranding effort and the marketing launch of its new affiliate, Vixen Composites.
"Dicor is a great match for us because of the depth of RV knowledge that we both bring to the table," said Steve Taig, president of TaigMarks. "Dicor is the kind of client that we enjoy working with because it allows us to use the full range of our capabilities, from developing brand charters to coordinating marketing and public relations action plans. We think the ability to develop a branding plan from conception, and then helping to implement the marketing plan, makes us most effective."
Dicor is a leading supplier of innovative products to the OEM and component manufacturers for recreational and conversion vehicle industries, as well to distributors in the recreational vehicle and automotive aftermarkets. It is currently bringing to fruition a $6 million start-up of Vixen Composites, which will manufacture advanced composite materials for RVs and other products.
Current affiliated companies include Dicor, United Shade, Alta Resources and Seal Design, all of which provide a variety of components, materials and services that enhance RV manufacturing and the RV experience for the consumer.
"We appreciate TaigMarks' RV knowledge and the strategic thought its associates put behind everything they do," said Dicor President Gregg Fore. "We think TaigMarks and its creative team will help us focus our message and provide a more cohesive identity for all our companies, which will keep Dicor's success growing for many years to come."

Dicor's Fore: Show Response Beyond Expectations
December 10, 2009 by RV Business · Leave a Comment
Editor's Note: In the week following the National RV Trade Show in Louisville, Ky., Gregg Fore, president of the Dicor Group of Companies and first vice chairman of the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), had the following comments on the show's success and to Dicor's new product introductions.
With nearly a dozen new products on display from the Dicor Companies including frame window shades, RV burglar alarms, updated remote control systems, SURV motorized rear bug screens, all aluminum steps and the Innova interior cabinet systems, Dicor President Gregg Fore indicated that the response from dealers and manufacturers was beyond expectations.
"Each of our companies released new product initiatives, aimed at changing the way RV components are perceived by manufacturers, dealers and consumers," Fore stated. "The encouragement we received from our customers indicates that we are, in fact, challenging the status quo with our new product offerings. They strongly encouraged us to rapidly get these products into their newest unit designs."
Standing at the forefront of new product development for the RV Industry, the Dicor Group of Companies, which includes Alta Resources, Seal Designs, United Shade and Dicor Corp., is bringing products to the mix that will help manufacturers to change the landscape of the industry to meet the needs of today's dealers and consumers as well, he said. Some examples of this new product innovation include:
- From Alta Resources, an advanced 8-button/10-function remote control system with applications to control fifth-wheel jacks, slide-out rooms, patio lights, rear stabilizer jacks and more; and an RV burglar alarm system that protects the unit's interior as well as its outside storage compartments.
- From Seal Design, a new line of Touch-N-Seal products that include a wide range of products to handle many custom applications including one- and two-component foam kits for sealing, insulating, patching and filling. Seal Design specializes in customized sealant solutions for water intrusion, cushioning, sound abatement, attachment and bonding.
- From United Shade, a new line of manual and motorized Roller Shades available in one-piece blackout or sunscreen material or in a two-piece Day/Night shade option. These new roller shades are custom made for single window or total cab systems. Also from United Shade is a new Sport Utility Motorized Bug Screen that allows complete and comfortable utilization of the unit for personal relaxation without the intrusion of unwanted insects.
- From Dicor Corp., the Innova line of stylish RV interiors including interior cabinets that present a new approach to custom RV interiors with component based, versatile design; manual and electronic bed lifts that add versatility to the living area; and TV brackets suitable for unique TV placement and adjustment.
"With these and other new product introductions Dicor is setting a tone for the RV industry to think differently when it comes to new product design and the choice of options that are now available," Fore said. "Of course, Dicor will continue its role as a key supplier of its core products, roofing and wheel products, as well as its aftermarket emphasis on roof care and maintenance and wheel accessories.
"The reaction to new product ideas coupled with the reported success of the National RV Trade Show from our manufacturing customers is yet another sign that the Industry recovery is continuing , and that 2010 should be a healthy year for the RV Industry," Fore concluded.

Robbie Keane in line for LA Galaxy debut against San Jose this Saturday
Irish captain receives work permit and flies to the West Coast
Robbie Keane will make his MLS debut for the Los Angeles Galaxy against the San Jose Earthquake on Saturday night.
Keane is en route to American after receiving his visa at the US embassy in Dublin on Wednesday.
The Ireland captain will be introduced to his new team-mates by Galaxy star and former opponent David Beckham on Friday.
Beckham became friendly with Keane when he trained at Tottenham Hotspur over the winter.
A press conference has also been called for Friday when the Galaxy will officially unveil Keane after offloading Colombian striker Juan Pablo Angel to the Chivas USA side.

Robbie Keane urges FAI to hand new contract to manager GiovanniTrapattoni
After signing a two year deal, with a reported $9million, Keane is anxious to play for his new club as soon as possible.
"I am fit and ready to go," said the 31-year-old Irish record goalscorer who is confident that jet lag won't be a problem after flying to the States on Thursday.
Asked if Keane will play against the San Jose outfit on Saturday night, Galaxy boss Bruce Arena said: "It's possible."
The arrival of Keane in the MLS has been greeted by fellow Irish international Caleb Folan, now playing for the Colorado Rapids in the States.
"It's pretty amazing," Folan told ColoradoRapids.com. "It's crazy because I never knew beforehand the interest from the States in Robbie Keane.
"And I didn't know it was a vision for him to come here, either. I was quite surprised and amazed at the same time."
Folan actually played with Keane at Leeds United when he was a youngster before they team up together for Ireland under Giovanni Trapattoni.
"I was around him as a young player and used to watch him a lot and try and see what he was all about," said Folan. "It's amazing for the League, he's a great player.
"The most memorable game as teammates was probably against Italy in 2009, where I set up his goal and we drew 1-1."
Having played 19 times for the Rapids this season, scoring five goals in the process, Folan believes Keane will be a success in America.
"You're playing in a different environment," said Folan. "It takes a while to get used to your team, the climate changes, the traveling, and also the style of play.
"But he's an experienced player who's played at every level possible and he's always scored goals and performed, so I'm sure he'll be an exciting player to watch in the league. I think he'll do really well."

But not that astonishing, Mr. le Carre continued. Fiction pursues ever-stranger reality in a race to see which is more fictive. Mr. le Carre was, after all, in Washington, where not too long ago a President issued pardons to men who bankrolled Nicaraguan rebels by selling weapons to America's sworn enemy, Iran, while slipping weapons and intelligence to Iran's sworn enemy, Iraq.
"This city? Extr'ordin'ry," Mr. le Carre said, looking out into a tropical miasma. "To me, as a Brit, the sense of power is amazing. The sense that decisions have consequences, which they don't seem to in Britain, is very strong and beguiling. I can always understand why the Brits come and colonize American newspapers, American media, or try to, because this is the real thing. It's played with live ammunition here."
Live ammunition has consequences, too, which is a theme of "The Night Manager." "If you give a tyrant a secret police, he'll find people to torture," Mr. le Carre noted. "If you give him limitless weaponry, you'll stoke up another war. Let's not fool ourselves. In this city, in London, in Paris, in Bonn, there is always the unspoken argument that this is natural selection, and since people are always going to have wars, they might as well have them with our weapons."
