One version is offered to the User free of charge.
The second one is the Premium Offer available against a subscription. Content offered (depending on countries) and commercial conditions thereof are described on a dedicated page on the Portal and other promotional and commercial channels of LIBON Service.
Premium Offer is charged via the User iTunes account, under iTunes store terms and conditions.
Both versions are proposed excluding mobile telephone and Internet connection/access fees subscribed with the Mobile Operator when the User uses the Service.
Access to the VOIP LIBON is free for the Users.
Voice calls through VOIP OUT, when offered in the concerned country, are offered within the Premium Offer. It is reminded that access to Voice traffic on Internet is otherwise charged by the User's Mobile Operator in relation to Internet connection in accordance with the User's mobile offer terms and conditions.
Also, in order to be able to use VOIP feature through LIBON Service, User must have subscribed with its Mobile Operator an offer allowing him to access to VOIP service as such.
5.2 Pricing of calls to LIBON voicemail
As the Service is offered to Users who have subscribed to a Mobile Operator services, the number used by the User to call LIBON voicemail is a national call number belonging to the national telephone numbering plan of the country of the User's Mobile Operator. This national call number is also used by all persons who called the mobile number of the User and choose to leave a voice message. The transfer of this call to the voice message is a paid service for the User according to the tariffs for this national call number.
The call to LIBON voicemail is billed by the Mobile Operator, when the user consults its LIBON voicemail.
The User may consult its LIBON voicemail in two ways:
- By calling directly its LIBON voicemail (national number): the call to LIBON voicemail is billed by the Mobile Operator of User as part of the voice plan that the User has subscribed to this Mobile Operator. The pricing applicable is the pricing of the Mobile Operator for the national call number called to consult the LIBON voicemail.
- By downloading the audio files (MP3 format) Voice Messages: Listening those sound files is billed by the Mobile Operator of User as part of the data plan that the user has subscribed to this operator..
The User must check with its Mobile Operator if the consultation of its LIBON voicemail, according to one or the other way described above, is included in the subscription (voice and data) agreed with that Mobile Operator. To the extent the User exceeds the limit of minutes included in its subscription (voice and data) to consult its LIBON voicemail, an additional cost will be calculated on the basis of pricing terms offered by the User's Mobile Operator.
By default, a notification sent on the User's Device informs the User of new Voice Messages. The Service Editor recommends the User to consult its LIBON voicemail directly from the application or the Portal, where possible.
5.3 Pricing of calls to LIBON voicemail in case of roaming
In case of roaming, the User must activate, within the Service, a specific option in order to consult its LIBON voicemail. The User has to check with its Mobile Operator if he/she is entitled to make phone calls from foreign countries.

Volunteer for NIAID-funded clinical studies related to tuberculosis on ClinicalTrials.gov.
According to conventional wisdom, when a disease-causing microbe mutates and develops resistance to a drug, it tends to lose some of its ability to spread. Does the bacterium that causes TB become less transmissible when it becomes drug-resistant? If so, can scientists detect this change? Such questions are driving research by NIAID grantee Megan Murray, M.D., a physician and epidemiologist at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. She and her colleagues are answering them through approaches that extend from the microscopic—sequencing TB's genes—to whole communities—an ambitious field study that will involve tens of thousands of Peruvian people.
Up to one-third of the world's population is infected with TB bacteria, but most of those infected will never develop an active case of TB. Those who do get sick can usually be cured, because most strains of TB bacteria are drug-susceptible. Some strains, however, are multidrug-resistant (MDR TB); they are impervious to at least two of the first-line antibiotics. Extensively drug-resistant (XDR TB) strains resist not only first-line drugs, but also at least one second-line drug. MDR TB is bad, but XDR TB is worse. During a 2006 outbreak in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, 52 of the 53 people suffering from XDR TB died.
TB control depends in part on distinguishing cases of drug-susceptible TB from drug-resistant ones so that appropriate therapy can begin. Currently, there are no widely available rapid, accurate diagnostic tests for TB drug susceptibility. In a step towards developing such tests, Dr. Murray and her colleagues from South Africa and the United States collected clinical samples of XDR TB strains from the 2006 KwaZulu-Natal outbreak. Using new technology that allows rapid genetic sequencing, the researchers determined the order of 95 percent of the XDR strain's 4 million DNA subunits.
Next, they compared that genome sequence to sequences of MDR and drug-susceptible TB strains. Surprisingly, says Dr. Murray, drug-resistant strains appear to differ from drug-susceptible ones at only a few dozen genetic sites. The knowledge of which genes give TB the ability to resist drugs helps lay the groundwork for better diagnostic tests to distinguish drug-resistant from drug-susceptible strains, she adds.
Dr. Murray is now building on the genome findings with a new grant from NIAID. The five-year grant supports three projects aimed at better understanding how MDR and XDR TB strains retain their transmissibility, even after acquiring drug resistance mutations.
The first project will follow up to 30,000 men and women in Peru who have been infected with TB bacteria and are thus at risk of developing active TB disease. American researchers, working in collaboration with healthcare experts from Peru's Socios en Salud, will collect data on human and bacterial factors that influence whether a particular person becomes ill after exposure to TB bacteria. The investigators also will collect TB samples and create an archive of MDR and XDR TB strains.
The second project will use the TB archive to uncover differences in genetic sequences or metabolic properties between drug-susceptible and drug-resistant strains, while a third effort will combine field and lab data to develop mathematical models of tuberculosis transmission. Because the models will be built using information from real people with TB, says Dr. Murray, they could be useful in predicting when and how drug-resistant TB strains may emerge and cause disease outbreaks. Such knowledge could help physicians stay one step ahead of TB.

Chapter XXXIII
day Lavretsky, according to his habit, was at the Kalitins. After an exhaustingly hot day, such a lovely evening had set in that Marya Dmitrievna, in spite of her aversion to a draught, ordered all the windows and doors into the garden to be thrown open, and declared that she would not play cards, that it was a sin to play cards in such weather, and one ought to enjoy nature. Panshin was the only guest. He was stimulated by the beauty of the evening, and conscious of a flood of artistic sensations, but he did not care to sing before Lavretsky, so he fell to reading poetry; he read aloud well, but too self-consciously and with unnecessary refinements, a few poems of Lermontov (Pushkin had not then come into fashion again). Then suddenly, as though ashamed of his enthusiasm, began,
à propos
of the well-known poem, A Reverie, to attack and fall foul of the younger generation. While doing so he did not lose the opportunity of expounding how he would change everything after his own fashion, if the power were in his hands. Russia, he said, has fallen behind Europe; we must catch her up. It is maintained that we are youngthats nonsense. Moreover we have no inventiveness: Homakov himself admits that we have not even invented mouse-traps. Consequently, whether we will or no, we must borrow from others. We are sick, Lermontov saysI agree with him. But we are sick from having only half become Europeans, we must take a hair of the dog that bit us (
le cadastre,
thought Lavretsky). The best heads,
les meilleures tâtes,
he continued, among us have long been convinced of it. All peoples are essentially alike; only introduce among them good institutions, and the thing is done. Of course there may be adaptation to the existing national life; that is our affairthe affair of the official (he almost said governing) class. But in case of need dont be uneasy. The institutions will transform the life itself. Marya Dmitrievna most feelingly assented to all Panshin said. What a clever man, she thought, is talking in my drawing-room! Lisa sat in silence leaning back against the window; Lavretsky too was silent. Marfa Timofyevna, playing cards with her old friend in the corner, muttered something to herself. Panshin walked up and down the room, and spoke eloquently, but with secret exasperation. It seemed as if he were abusing not a whole generation but a few people known to him. In a great lilacbush in the Kalitins garden a nightingale had built its nest; its first evening notes filled the pauses of the eloquent speech; the first stars were beginning to shine in the rosy sky over the motionless tops of the limes. Lavretsky got up and began to answer Panshin; an argument sprang up. Lavretsky championed the youth and the independence of Russia; he was ready to throw over himself and his generation, but he stood up for the new men, their convictions and desires. Panshin answered sharply and irritably. He maintained that the intelligent people ought to change everything, and was at last even brought to the point of forgetting his position as a
and his career as an official, and calling Lavretsky an antiquated conservative, even hintingvery remotely it is trueat his dubious position in society. Lavretsky did not lose his temper. He did not raise his voice (he recollected that Mihalevitch too had called him antiquated but an antiquated Voltairean), and calmly proceeded to refute Panshin at all points. He proved to him the impracticability of sudden leaps and reforms from above, founded neither on knowledge of the mother-country, nor on any genuine faith in any ideal, even a negative one. He brought forward his own education as an example, and demanded before all things a recognition of the true spirit of the people and submission to it, without which even a courageous combat against error is impossible. Finally he admitted the reproachwell-deserved as he thoughtof reckless waste of time and strength.
That is all very fine! cried Panshin at last, getting angry. You now have just returned to Russia, what do you intend to do?
Cultivate the soil, answered Lavretsky, and try to cultivate it as well as possible.
That is very praiseworthy, no doubt, rejoined Panshin, and I have been told that you have already had great success in that line; but you must allow that not every one is fit for pursuits of that kind.
Une nature poétique,
observed Marya Dmitrievna, cannot, to be sure, cultivate
et puis,
it is your vocation, Vladimir Nikolaitch, to do everything
en grand.
This was too much even for Panshin: he grew confused, and changed the conversation. He tried to turn it upon the beauty of the starlit sky, the music of Schubert; nothing was successful. He ended by proposing to Marya Dmitrievna a game of picquet. What! on such an evening? she replied feebly. She ordered the cards to be brought in, however. Panshin tore open a new pack of cards with a loud crash, and Lisa and Lavretsky both got up as if by agreement, and went and placed themselves near Marfa Timofyevna. They both felt all at once so happy that they were even a little afraid of remaining alone together, and at the same time they both felt that the embarrassment they had been conscious of for the last few days had vanished, and would return no more. The old lady stealthily patted Lavretsky on the cheek, slyly screwed up her eyes, and shook her head once or twice, adding in a whisper, You have shut up our clever friend, many thanks. Everything was hushed in the room; the only sound was the faint crackling of the wax-candles, and sometimes the tap of a hand on the table, and an exclamation or reckoning of points; and the rich torrent of the nightingales song, powerful piercingly sweet, poured in at the window, together with the dewy freshness of the night.

Postal Elves!
Goodies have shown up on my doorstep!
The first...with an address of "Santa Clause, North Pole, Alaska". The envelope contained beautiful star scattered piece of batik, all for me! Also included was a pamphlet for a quilt show in the Netherlands in 2009, asking if I was going to be there. Unfortunately the answer is no, not this time! I wish I could,but I am scheduled to be elsewhere while that show is on.
Thank you, Thank you, Santa, whoever you are!
And look what Deb sent me from Battleground, MN!
Remember me talking about these insulated cups and tumblers this past summer? My memories of using them at my grandparent's house when I was growing up? (I always fought over the aqua colored one with my brother!) Deb has sent me some heartstring blocks to go into a charity quilt, the cutest little Santa ornament, and SIX holiday colored squatty insulated tumblers!
I love them Deb, thanks SO MUCH! :cD
Last night was our Christmas Dinner for Forsyth Piecers & Quilters. Each "BEE" was to decorate a table. I have to tell you that we have very talented ladies in this Bee, AKA the Ms Bee Havens, and they also have wicked senses of humor! Amongst all the holiday sparkle of green and red tables decoarted with Christmas Cheer, our table was covered with black table cloths, lengths of silver chain (and some red glitter ribbon as well) and our center piece was a Singing Santa on a Harley! He actually bounced and danced and sang "Born to be Wild..." *LOL*
We complimented our decor by wearing "GOT FABRIC?" Shirts with white writing on Black....and tied batik "DO RAGS" on our heads. The finishing touch? a "BORN TO QUILT" Tattoo!
At the end of the night, the Born To Be Wild Santa on the Harley was donated to the 'Toys for Tots' box...and we posed for this picture.
The GOT FABRIC? shirts are a fund raiser for a local cause here in Winston Salem. I've emailed Leann asking if she would like to accept mail order for the shirts if anyone is interested. I'll post again with her reply! It could be that she is already swamped and taking on a mail order thing might be a bit much for her. They sure are fun shirts, aren't they?

Not only the shirt, but I'd love to have the Tatoo! I hate the real ones, but once sent my grandkids home with fake tatoos and green hair. My daughter-in-law didn't blink and eye. I wonder what everyone would do if I showed up myself with a Born to quilt tatoo!

text: I know this is a bit off of the GTD subject, but it does have to do with being more effective. In my new position, I will be traveling alot more and require a bag that can effectively handle my laptop and all of the other papers and stuff I have to schlep back and forth to the office and on my trips. Currently, I have a small Case-Logic case for my laptop and I have a simple canvas briefcase from LandsEnd for all of the other stuff. I want to go to one case and am working on minimizing and simplifying the stuff I carry. Anyone have any suggestions?

Not taking Care is England's loss and Quins gain, says team-mate
10:00am Friday 1st November 2013 in Sport
By Paddy von Behr
Full-back Mike Brown believes England's loss will be Harlequins' gain after scrum-half Danny Care was snubbed by Stuart Lancaster for tomorrow's opening autumn clash with Australia.
With Northampton's Lee Dickson and British Lion Ben Youngs the preferred number nines, Care was released from England training last week, but responded in the best possible fashion as Quins triumphed over Sale last weekend.
After missing out on a Lions place this summer, 26-year-old Care was rested for England's summer trip to Argentina, and while he has been one of the few impressive performers in a stuttering Quins side this season, Dickson's form has seen him slip down the pecking order.
Care could do worse than heed the advice of his teammate however. Brown spent his fair share on time in the shadow of first Ben Foden and then Alex Goode but know he has nailed down the full-back jersey and starts there against Australia at Twickenham.

And Brown is convinced Care will show Lancaster and co exactly what they are missing.
"It's another position that has great strength in depth," said Brown. "The two guys that are involved with England have been playing really well, as has Danny at Quins.
"While we are with England we will train hard and while they're at their clubs they will try and play well.
"He is obviously desperate to play for England. He is a world-class player – he has shown that – so he will keep working hard like he always has.
"I hope it hasn't knocked his confidence. I personally think he is a brilliant player but so are Dicko and Ben Youngs as well so he will just keep working hard and he has confidence in his own ability, I'm sure. "He is a great lad to have around and he will show everyone what he can do."
Care has perhaps fallen victim of Quins' poor start to the season – although his performance against Sale and the praise he received from boss Conor O'Shea will have gone someway to repairing his confidence.
Harlequins captain Chris Robshaw has not however and despite Tom Wood's strong claims to retain the captaincy after leading the summer tour against the Pumas, Lancaster has stuck by his man – a decision Brown agrees with.
"It is obviously an added bonus but he is such a hard worker he is not focusing on that too much," added Brown.
"If he wasn't the captain he is still a big leader within the squad. We don't just have one leader as the captain – we have a big group of players now that are leaders so it doesn't matter who is captain.
"We all try and lead in our own way. He has done a brilliant job so far and I am sure he will keep doing a brilliant job."
David Wilson, Mike Brown and Tom Youngs at Hollins Hall, a Marriott Hotel & Country Club. Marriott, official partner of England Rugby, has teamed up with River Cottage to change the face of hotel food by focusing on seasonal, local, organic and sustainable produce.

(NaturalNews) The largest and most comprehensive natural history museum in the Southeast, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences (NCMNS) is one of the premier educational destinations for both young and old alike to learn about the natural world in a fun, interactive environment. But this beacon of cultural enlightenment has apparently been infiltrated by Monsanto and numerous other corporate interests, all of which were allowed to give presentations at the museum's recent "Biotechnology Day."
According to the NCMNS website, the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) partnered with Kelly Services, a local staffing agency, to hold the first ever Biotechnology Day at the museum, which was tag-lined with the somewhat menacing phrase "Biotechnology in Your Daily Life!" The stated goal of the event was to "demystify biotechnology" and enlighten the public as to how it affects their everyday lives.
"Organizations (companies, educational institutions, non-profits) from around the state will be participating with hands-on demonstrations, experiments and crafts," says the event's description. Included among these presenters were representatives from both the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, which were essentially given an open pulpit from which to indoctrinate the minds of young children into the dogma of drugs and GMOs (genetically-modified organisms).
Monsanto, BASF, and Pfizer all gave presentations at Biotechnology Day
The very first presentation given during Biotechnology Day was titled "A Drug Comes to Market," and was given by a senior learning technologist from clinical trial giant PPD. Other presentations included "Better Crops for a Better Future," which was given by a representative of biotechnology giant BASF, as well as another given by the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Campbell University titled "Are You Taking Biotech Medicines?"
There was also a workshop on vaccines given by the CEO of a vaccine company known as Arbovax Inc, as well as a number of exhibits promoting GMOs and the use of emerging biotechnologies for creating "a better life." Monsanto, the king of the biotechnology castle, even had a deceptive exhibit titled "Applications of Biotechnology to Enhance Crop Productivity."
A mid-day session included a presentation from a Pfizer engineer who explained to children a little bit more about how proteins are extracted and "purified" for use in biotechnological applications. And the North Carolina State University(NCSU) Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center (BTEC) held a hands-on exhibit where children were taught how to manufacture biotechnology materials using grape soda

I'm back and I have listened through Icky Thump.
Interesting album. I liked it less than Elephant and GBMS but I still overall enjoyed it.
This list was actually the hardest for me to decide. I think because I liked more songs equally on this album. Not really any standouts.
1. Little Cream Soda
2. 300 m.p.h. Torrential Outpour Blues
3. Rag and Bone
A Martyr For My Love For You is a very very close honorable mention.

This week my wife and I had a short get-away. There are so many great spots to visit on Vancouver Island, and most are within a two or three hour drive of where we live. For this get-away we chose to go to Port Hardy at the north end of Vancouver Island. And, based largely on their website, we chose to stay at the the Glen Lyon Inn.
Unfortunately, we didn't book ahead, and they were full by the time we got there.
We May Have Dodged A Bullet
We went back to the Glen Lyon Inn for dinner. The photo of their restaurant http://www.glenlyoninn.com/dining.html) on the website showed a relatively 'up scale' restaurant, with fine china and men in suites and women in dresses. We were concerned there may have been a dress code, but it was our anniversary and we wanted something a little special, so we decided to try it. We needn't have worried!!
The restaurant was nothing like the picture
No table cloths, no high back chairs, no fine china, and nothing on the menu that came close to the meal depicted in their picture. Certainly, no dress code. In fact, the image is from Getty Images and appears on a number of websites. ( I wonder if they paid to use the image? )
Marketing Take Away
While it is OK to show your business in its best light on your website. Don't be misleading.
In the age of Yelp, TriAdvisor and Facebook you will be found out. By trying to deceive me with there restaurant picture, they have gotten a bad review on Yelp (one of two bad reviews), Google and Trip Advisor, plus this blog post.
Show your business in its best light – but don't cross the line and try and deceive your potential customers.
Never piss off a web designer – especially on his anniversary
BTW: A "shout out" to Tiny Eye for finding the copies of the image online.

President Barack Obama stated that he hopes to work on immigration reform soon after his inauguration, a move that will delight the many undocumented Irish living in the U.S.
In his first news conference since his re-election, Obama addressed the controversial issue. "I am very confident we can get immigration reform done," he said, adding that he hopes to secure a "pathway to legal status" for the undocumented who are "simply to work."
Claire S., who overstayed her 90 day visa waiver six weeks ago, hopes that Obama can deliver on this promise as the process of being undocumented has left her "stressed out of her head."
"I was on my second waiver when I decided to overstay," she said.
"It was not an easy decision but I felt there was nothing at home for me, apart from my family. There are no good jobs. In America I had a job waiting for me in a bar that meant money, good money. My boyfriend was here too.
"But now that I am illegal I wake up every day with a sick feeling in my stomach. I can't go home for my sister's wedding next year. My dad is not well and I just hope nothing happens while I am here."
Steve M., an undocumented bartender who has been here for the past seven years, also laments his position as an undocumented immigrant, but says that it is better than being in Ireland.
"Every time I have complained about being illegal over here, people are like, 'Sure why don't you go home, then?' It's not as simple as that," he says.
"There are better opportunities to get ahead here if you're willing to work hard. There is big money to be made. It's a great way of life out here. It's hard to go back and work and live in Ireland after here."
Gerry Nevin, a U.S. citizen for the past four years through marriage after arriving illegally in 1999, says he would never go down the undocumented route again.
"Looking back, it's a tough life and I didn't even realize until I turned legal. I can now go home for holidays and birthdays, twice, three times a year if I want," he says.
"If I hadn't got married to an American woman I think I would have went home. I can't imagine trying to raise a family here, trying to start businesses but I have friends who are doing it. It just looks like one big legal headache that I thankfully don't have to worry about, not anymore."
Derek T, an undocumented electrician, is not getting his hopes up, but wishes that Obama will deliver.
"People have short memories," he said. "Obama pretty much promised the exact same thing four years ago just after he got elected and nothing happened. Even though I like Obama I think it's just a publicity stunt because so many of his followers are ethnic minorities."
Derek goes on to offer a tentative solution to the quandary of immigration.
"I think people should be able to buy their way into a legal status," he says. "A few grand, 20 grand, whatever it takes, I'm sure people will pay. Sure, people pay that much nowadays to get married to get their green card so why not? It proves they are earning money and not just sponging.
"I think they should then be monitored for a few years to make sure they are still earning, still contributing and they should be made citizens after that. I hope the government will make a move sooner rather than later," he concluded.
saraindc, agree with your observations. President Obama has a lot on his plate right now and he needs to address problems facing americans FIRST.I do believe he will address the issue of immigration reform, but this will probably be towards the end of his second term. Getting americans back to work should be his first priority. When unemployment is well below 5%, he can approach this problem.
reality is they're not going to get it any easier. undocumented are going to be forced to leave the country and go through the legal process. its not a simple matter of go from being illegal to legal - it doesnt work like that - it will be the same issue for the irish - if you want to become legal (and that does not mean you can get a greencard as your illegal years wont count), you're likely going to have to a) declare yourself illegal b) go home to follow the documented route which means your job could be gone and you wont get a visa to just live here, you'll need a sponsor to get documented (h1B) type - i can't imagine they'll just hand out a ton of visa for people broke the rules - it wont work like that - everyone who followed the rules and did it right will protest and those unemployed americans will block it! Follow the rules or dont complain about it or expect special treatment!!

Hello everyone,
I'd like to make a request of the Red Team, and will just cross my fingers it can come to fruition.
I'd really like to see Red release an ENG turn-key package. Preferably with some slight discount for buying the whole shot.
In requesting this I'd like to point out that I am assuming that the Supergrip will give me the same kind of control I'm used to with a standard ENG style lens zoom control, though I'd welcome some other options in addition like a fine adjustment wheel in addition to a more coarse rocker control.
This package would include:
Red One - $17,500
Basic Production Pack - $1,250
Power Pack - $1,450
Arm - $175
18-85 mm Zoom - $8,995?
Supergrip - $???
Red Motor - $???
Ideally if this package could come in at around 35 grand I'd be glad to put up my deposit immediately. I realize this may be a lot to ask depending on the as yet unannounced price of the supergrip and motor. If you guys can announce this, and take my deposit, I'm ready. Shoot me an e-mail if so and I'll put the wheels in motion.

Madrid: Real Madrid stumbled to a 1-1 draw at home against Valencia in the opening match of its Spanish league title defense on Sunday.Madrid appeared set to pick up where it had left off last season when Gonzalo Higuain scored in the 10th minute, but Jonas leveled for Valencia in the 42nd to give coach Mauricio Pellegrino a hard-earned draw on his debut.Madrid appeared set to pick up where it had left off last season when Gonzalo Higuain scored in the 10th minute, but Jonas leveled for Valencia in the 42nd to give coach Mauricio Pellegrino a hard-earned draw on his debut.Cristiano Ronaldo, who set a club record with 46 league goals last season, was uncharacteristically subdued and failed to manage a shot on goal.``We knew it was going to be tough because Valencia has played well here before,`` said Madrid defender Raul Albiol, who formerly played for Valencia. ``We have to stay positive and look forward.``Madrid dictated the pace early on and Higuain, starting ahead of Karim Benzema, soon put his team ahead.Higuain scored on the third attempt after goalkeeper Diego Alves made back-to-back saves to deny the Argentina striker. International teammate Angel di Maria lofted a pass behind Valencia`s passive defense, Higuain pulled it in and blasted the second rebound into the back of the net.Just when Valencia appeared clueless in attack, Brazil forward Jonas leveled for the visitors with a header, beating three Madrid players to Tino Costa`s in-swinging free kick. Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas and defender Pepe collided in an attempt to reach the ball, with both lying prone on the pitch for a few moments before restarting play with both looking groggy. Albiol replaced Pepe at halftime.Jonas` goal was Valencia`s first in its last five league visits to Santiago Bernabeu stadium.The score level, Valencia regained its composure and succeeded in slowing down a Madrid attack that last season set a league scoring record with 121 goals.Madrid coach Jose Mourinho sent on Benzema for midfielder Lass Diarra, looking to spark his team with 30 minutes to go.Higuain and Di Maria almost linked up again in the 65th when Di Maria lobbed a perfectly placed ball to his teammate, only to see Higuain`s header hit the crossbar.That miss was as close as the champions came to scoring again with Valencia defending well down the stretch.BDST: 1620 HRS, August 20, 2012Edited byChanchal Ghosh, Newsroom Editor

With just 35 days left in office, President George W. Bush is showing all sides of his personality.
He's Agile:
The president was quick as a cat when an Iraqi journalist launched both shoes at him. Mr. Bush ducked and the shoes missed. He even "shooed" a Secret Service agent who ran to his aid, saying he was ok.
The president was not injured and joked about the incident: "All I can report is it is a size 10," he said. He called the incident a sign of democracy, saying, "That's what people do in a free society, draw attention to themselves."
He's Funny:
Standing before a crowd of 11,000 at Texas A&M University, President Bush's commencement address was filled with light-hearted moments.
President Bush quipped about the cost of college. "I am pleased to see so many of your families and loved ones here today," he said. "While you bled maroon, they bled a lot of green."
Texas A&M's mascot found her way into his speech. "I especially like the tradition around Reveille. Anytime she barks during a class lecture, everyone in the room is dismissed. I wish she'd been there for some of those press conferences."
He even thanked his mom for his gray hair.
And the jokes went on and on...
He's Sensitive:
During his graduation speech Friday, the president became emotional when talking about the "unconditional love" he received from his father. "Some of you will leave A&M with a degree that carries this good man's name, 'George Bush.' I have been blessed and honored to have carried it for 62 years."
He also shared inspirational stories of courage, including the "gift of love" given by a couple who care for foster children,
He's an emotional guy, and he's passionate about whatever he's involved in," White House spokesman Tony Fratto said.
He's a Proud Texan:
During his Aggieland speech, the president talked about his eagerness to return to the "place I love" once he leaves office.
"Texas is where I went to a backyard barbeque and met a beautiful teacher named Laura Welch. Texas is where our girls were born and our lifelong friends live. And next month, when our time in Washington is done, Texas is where we're coming home," he said to a roaring crowd.
As his eight-year tenure in the White House draws to a close, we may see more of Bush's kinder and gentler side. But if he talks about someone's "sole", let's just hope there are no shoes involved.
