Zambia's FAZ Premier League – taking it to the wire
Edgar Habasonda, Zambia – IT'S UP TO YOU!
The 2012 MTN Super Division was expected to be frenetic and competitive more than ever before especially after the milestone achievement of the Zambian National Team, which against all odds won the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Local teams were raring to go and the fans were looking forward to fill up those stadiums which had for a long time been forlorn empty terraces due to dwindling interest by soccer fans for Zambian soccer. The tide had swung and the pendulum was reeling in favor of local football after the taste of the Africa Cup of Nations glory for the first time in Zambia's history.
The 2011 Champions, Power Dynamos started as firm favorites to retain the MTN FAZ super division title which they had wrestled from Zesco United the previous year. They started the season with veteran coach Fordson Kabole at the helm as coach of the team and they carried the Zambian hopes in the Confederation of African football (CAF) Champions league. However Kabole was not to last after Power Dynamos were embarrassingly ousted out of the Champions league by TP Mazembe. Beston Chambeshi took over as the new coach with former national team defender Hector Chilombo recruited from Forest as his assistant.
At the start of the season, the 5-time Zambian champions ensured that they strengthened their squad with the addition of the Konkola Blades trio of left full back Maybin Chishimba, midfielder Thomas Nyirenda and striker Graven Chitalu. On paper, Power Dynamos looked very potent with more depth and a plethora of talent than any other team in the division. With key playing personnel in their ranks such as the seasoned goal keeper Joshua Titima, Gilbert Kalusa, midfield maestro Mukuka Mulenga, Govender Simwala, midfield virtuoso Emmanuel Chimpinde, wing wizard Kennedy Mudenda, the dexterous Joseph Sitali, Simon Bwalya and defence lynchpin Kamuzati Kabwe Power Dynamos was firmly tipped to retain the title as they possessed just the type of players every team would love to have.
As expected Power Dynamos were going to face stiff competition from Zesco United, the 2010 Champions who had just reacquired their title winning coach Wedson Nyirenda from Zanaco. Zesco's first game of the season was against Zanaco and Zesco won it by a goal to nil courtesy of Winston Kalengo, a former Zanaco player. This win by Zesco united was very important in highlighting just how determined they were to recapture their lost glory. Coach Nyirenda who has already won five titles as coach since his maiden triumph with Nchanga Rangers as assistant to Fordson Kabole in 1998 was upbeat about his team's chances of winning the league and even declared that his team would win the title unbeaten.
Zesco United started the season with an array of talent at their disposal with household names in the likes of veteran defender Nyambe Mulenga, hardworking Daudi Musekwa, goal scoring wizard Alfred Luputa, young sensation Kangwa Chileshe, one of the most consistent goal keepers in the league Jacob Banda, Zimbabwe international Zimiliseni Moyo, goal scoring star striker Jackson Mwanza and the ever reliable Potiphar Zulu. To this plethora of talent, Coach Nyirenda added a number of new players taking with him from Zanaco Simon Silwimba, Charles Siyingwa and Gift Sakuwaha. With all daggers drawn, this was the team to beat and Zesco United were worthy the competition for the title. They with Zanaco and Power had become the dominant forces of Zambian football in recent years.
Another contender was Zanaco and they had just lost some of their key players who included Charles Siyingwa and Simon Silwimba and a very good coach in Wedson Nyirenda to their rivals Zesco United. However Zanaco's management didn't waste time mourning about these departures instead they made prudent and wise decisions and looked no further than Chililabombwe on the Copperbelt, luring a coach who had done wonders for Konkola blades in the previous season and brought him to Sunset.
Keagan Mumba as always is a very assertive coach who really understands the tactical approach of the game. He makes timely interventions and is a good communicator with his players. His acquisition eventually proved to be a midas touch that Zanaco needed. Mumba was assisted by the humble and genuinely great lad Numba Mumamba who once was a gem of our national soccer team. He also got Aggrey Chiyangi as his second assistant to enrich the technical bench. With an array of players such as the ever green Henry Banda, experienced Kunda Mushota, reliable keeper Racha Kola, talented Lewis Macha, veteran midfielder Venecious Mapande, physical Elson Mkandawire, industrious Ziyo Tembo, ever so present Lottie Nyimbili and the experienced Ignatious Lwipa, the Zanaco team looked rather modest compared to the talent Zesco United and Power Dynamos possessed. The depth of the team could not be compared to what their rivals had. However, with a great coach like Keagan Mumba there were still possibilities for the Banker's team in a season in which many never really gave them a chance.
Losing their first league game to Zesco United never really helped matters and very few fancied Zanaco to win the league which they had last won in 2009. As the season started gaining ground, Zanaco began to show that level of consistence which other teams lacked and unfortunately for the other two contenders they stuttered while Zanaco continued to eke out narrow 1-0 wins. Zanaco looked very comfortable on top of the table for most of the season and their star player Henry Banda continued to flourish for them providing the needed goals for the team. Kunda Mushota also proved to be very reliable for Zanaco together with Michael Bwalya in defence.
True to the analysts' assertions at the beginning of the season, Power Dynamos began to gain momentum in the title run in chasing Zanaco very closely and as time went by, it became clear that the title was going to the wire. Indeed it was to be decided by the last games of the season. After drawing four out of their five games, Zanaco handed the title initiative to Power Dynamos who by the penultimate game of the season had taken over the summit of the table by one point over Zanaco and this meant that the last game of the season would be the decider for who the Zambian champion would be. Champions Power Dynamos went into the last round of matches with a healthy goal difference of about 8 goals more than Zanaco. The bankers had led the table for 13 weeks but a poor run of results in which they drew four games and only won one game in their last five games saw them relinquish top position and needing Power Dynamos to lose to red arrows and themselves winning against Nkana in Kitwe on the final day of the season. Any result other than a win would have been disaster for the bankers.
On the back of Power Dynamos form in their final five games, they were tipped to roll over George Lwandamina's Red arrows and render Zanaco's results in Kitwe irrelevant whatever the outcome, however this was not to be as Power Dynamos failed to muster even a draw against a team that eventually came fourth in the league. Power Dynamos needed to save themselves and even a draw would not have sufficed for them to win the league given that Zanaco had taken an assailable 3-1 lead over Nkana. Power Dynamos needed an outright win, however they could not manage as they lost the game 1-0 and there hopes of retaining the championship title were dashed.
Zanaco did their part in Kitwe and shocked Nkana. The Wusakile team based in Kitwe had started brightly by scoring an early first half goal, but Zanaco responded quickly knowing that Red arrows had taken the lead in Lusaka. Within a short time Zanaco got themselves an insurance goal and sealed the title with a 3-1 win over Power Dynamos' arch rivals Nkana. Coach Keagan Mumba and his team triumphed in the end to bring league glory to Lusaka. Zanaco won the league with 61 points two more than Power Dynamos.
The battle to survive relegation was also intense and four teams were not able to stand the rigors of the premier division and ended up being relegated, these include two teams from Southern Province Nakambala Leopards and Green Eagles and one team from Lusaka National Assembly and another from the Copperbelt Indeni.
Leading the most outstanding players of the 2012 league season is Zanaco's Racha Kola who was rock solid in goal and only conceded 14 goals in 30 league matches out smarting Becky Bizangi of Konkola Blades' record of 18 goals conceded. Kola kept a record 19 clean sheets in the process which is incredible. Kola is a very astute reader of the game although his ball distribution at times is cagey like many Zambian goalkeepers, however he is a very calm and disciplined goalkeeper. He coordinated his defence very well and certainly gets the kudos for massively contributing to Zanaco's championship triumph. Kola played every game for Zanaco in the league which just shows how consistent he was. Another key player for Zanaco was their captain Micheal Bwalya, a versatile type of defender, very strong on the ball and quick with or without possession. He was an outstanding player in a very exciting season. Henry Banda had an outstanding season too although towards the end he never got to play a lot of games for Zanaco. He is very quick on the ball and helped Zanaco win a lot of matches with his outstanding performances. His crosses and ability to go past defenders was very useful for Zanaco in their bid for a sixth title. Banda was the most prowess winger of this season and the bankers' top scorer on 11 goals.
In a very competitive season, Kamuzati Kabwe was also very outstanding in defence for Power Dynamos. He was very efficient, strong and resolute in marshaling the defence, coordinating his colleagues and using his experience to guide them on positioning and when to go forward. Kabwe was very important to the Power Dynamos team that lost the title by a whisker. Another star performer in a tough season for Power Dynamos was Emmanuel Chimpinde. He is industrious, visionary and can cause a lot of problems to opposing teams. Chimpinde was very key in the run that Power Dynamos had in the just ended season. Joseph Sitali was another player who had a very influential role in the run in for the title. He is very dexterous on the ball and distributed it very well most of the time. He combined nicely with the likes of Chimpinde and Mulenga Mukuka. He was also an able leader who certainly accounted for a lot of the hard work that was done in the center of the field for Power Dynamos. Dynamos were very fluent in the midfield because of his contribution with the likes of Chimpinde and Mukuka.
Others who lit up the league include Nkana's Reynold "Sate Sate" Kampamba, very brilliant young player who is also quiet creative in his play. He was the league's top scorer and Nkana's bright spot in a poor season. Another revelation was Mwape Musonda of Konkola Mine Police, a lanky striker who has ball holding abilities and goal poacher's instinct.
For Napsa stars, Harry Milanzi was brilliant all season. The Zambian fans love him and he reminded them of the old days when he was a young player with Nchanga Rangers working very hard alongside the likes of Ronald Mbambara and Andrew Sinkala. The veteran striker was very exciting for Napsa stars whom he helped to achieve a respectable mid table position together with the ageless Sipho Mumbi who was extremely influential in that Napsa midfield.
With the ultimate destination of the league title decided, it suffices to state here that this was quiet a fulfilling league campaign for all neutrals and the winners need to be congratulated. The winning of the Africa Cup of Nations certainly set the stage for great things in Zambia's football development. The fans and clubs responded accordingly. Stadium attendances massively improved and the quality of the games is much better than it was a few years ago. The coverage of the games by Supersport has also brought its value to the local league and clubs are more organized in their game preparations.

Luckily for Zynga, it already has a response to that departure in chief accounting officer Mark Vranesh, who now is the new Zynga CFO. Three other senior-level staffers have been moved up to executive positions, including chief mobile officer David Ko to COO, EVP of business Barry Cottle to chief revenue officer and VP of games Steven Chiang to president of games.
"These changes come at an important time. We are positioning ourselves for long-term growth and I'm confident that we have the breadth and depth of management talent to deliver on our mission of connecting the world through games," Zynga founder and CEO Mark Pincus wrote in a memo to his staff. "We are also today reaffirming our 2012 financial outlook that we communicated on October 24, 2012."
Zynga hasn't had the best year since going public nearly a year ago. But perhaps this move, combined with games like FarmVille 2, CityVille 2 and the upcoming Battlestone, is a sign of things turning up for the developer/publisher. We'll get back to you on that in 2013.
Are you still a fan of Zynga's games? What do you think of the company's attempts to flip its misfortune? Sound off in the comments. Add Comment.

This is for an iPhone App, but I don't think that really matters. I need to send a custom object (which is managed by Core Data) over bluetooth using the iPhone's GameKit. Normally, I would just use an NSKeyedArchiver to package up the object as a data object and ship it over the line, then unarchive the object and I'm done. Of course, I would need to implement the initWithCoder: and encodeWithCoder: methods in my custom object as well.
I'm not sure if this can be done with an NSManagedObject class, which is managed by Core Data or not. Will they play nice together? I'm guessing once I ship the encoded managed object over to the other device and unencode it, I would just add this received object to the other device's context. Is this correct? Am I missing any steps?

Hey bdtimms,
There are three basic ways to stop taking oxycodone, each with their own pros and cons depending on how much and how often you are taking it. You can quit cold turkey and though have to sweat through the withdrawals be done with the process in around 10 days, you can slowly taper off the oxycodone and avoid the withdrawals but take longer or you can try a medication like Suboxone for opiate detox but then have to wean off it eventually.
If you would like a taper plan, would be willing to come up with one if you can share how many, how often, and what strength oxycodone you are on. It takes some determination but is the best way to avoid withdrawals without the cost of Suboxone.
Here to help anyway I can,
I am taking 15mg oxycodone every 3 to 4 hrs for about 7 months now
Thanks for your help
Can oxycodone cause the pain that I am feeling Doctors seem to think that it is the main cause of the pain, and if I go off oxycodone all the pain would go away. What ddo you think?
Can't say for sure, but I would slowly wean off the oxycodone and see what happens. If you are use to taking 6 a day, drop to 5 a day for 5 days, then to 4 a day for five days, then to three a day for five days spacing out every 8 hours, then drop to two a day with one every 12 hours for 5 days, then to half a pill every 12 hours for 5 days, then to half a pill once a day for 5 days, then to fourth a pill every day for 5 days, then stop. You'll know soon enough if the pain subsides or is still a problem.
Hey laura thanks for your help it is very nice to have some support to try and understand this drug
Thanks again
You are very welcome. Please feel free to contact me anytime even by private message if you would prefer. Here to help anyway I can.
Kudos to Laurie this Sunday AM! Would be my taper plan exactly...

Press Release: U.S. Department of Labor
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Labor today awarded grants totaling $20 million to provide job training for inmates aged 18 and older participating in state or local work-release programs. The grants are part of the Training to Work-Adult Reentry initiative, which seeks to provide work skills, education, and supportive services to improve the long-term employment prospects of soon-to-be-released inmates.
"The grants announced today will help incarcerated adults build a bridge to their communities and improve their chances of success in life," said acting Secretary of Labor Seth D. Harris. "Through the Training to Work program, the participants have a better chance of attaining employment by acquiring industry-recognized credentials, and as a result are more likely to positively contribute to their communities."
OIC of South Florida Inc. in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., will receive $1,400,000 in funding.
Sixteen grants were awarded to nonprofit organizations around the country. Grantees are expected to help participants obtain high school diplomas (or equivalent) and industry-recognized credentials. The grant programs will focus on in-demand occupations in which ex-offenders are eligible to work within the local communities. These grants require the inclusion of components such as workforce development activities, training leading to industry-recognized credentials, education, case management, mentoring, and follow-up services to help reduce recidivism and lead to long-term success.
Work-release programs allow individuals to hold a paid position or participate in a training program on a voluntary basis while incarcerated. Participants in the program have approved release dates typically ranging from six to nine months and are under state or local correctional supervision.
Grants were awarded through a competitive process open to nonprofit organizations with Internal Revenue Code 501(c) (3) status and proven success in implementing the key components of the grants in communities with high poverty and crime rates. The grants will cover 39 months, which include six months of planning and 33 months of operation. The funds also must provide for a minimum of nine months of follow-up services for each participant.

Life Prints
At the age of six, Mary Grimley is the nation's first "poster child," dining with President Roosevelt at the Warm Springs Rehabilitation Center and posing in her wheelchair for publicity shots. But a close look at photos reveals something other than the "cheerful invalid" that the abled expect: mouth closed in a frown, eyes defiant and proud, this bold child is less than impressed with the label of "poor crippled girl."
As a brilliant young scholar in the 1950s and 1960s, Mary Grimley Mason refuses to focus on her disability and instead makes herself privy to a revolution of ideas. At Radcliffe College and in graduate school at the University of Chicago and Harvard, she surrounds herself with writers and thinkers, plunging into the bohemian lifestyle of Cambridge cooperatives and radical intellectualism. But inchoate concepts of "normalcy" soon twist Mason's path, and she finds herself married to another scholar, supporting his studies, keeping house, and raising children. Even during several years in Paris, she is positioned to overhear rather than participate in conversations with scholars and writers such as Louis Massignon. Years of conflict result in a difficult realization: she has laid aside her own dream to become the dream of another—"the perfect wife of a writer," as Frank O'Connor predicted.
Mason spent her life struggling against prejudice toward disabled people; now she discovered an even more formidable enemy: the sexism of mentors, friends, family, and even herself. But she finds the courage to contend with both of the forces that seek to define and limit her. After undergoing years of physical therapy and social isolation, after forcing the strictures of disability behind her, she at last accepts her identity as a disabled person, abandoning "that double in my life—that consciousness or voice that tried to pass as able-bodied." At the same time, she moves beyond the limitations society has prescribed for women, embracing feminism—and discovering her life's work.
Specializing academically in women's autobiography, Mary Grimley Mason is unusually well-suited to narrate and interpret her own life, taking control of its representation with forthright determination.
"[Mason] became a brilliant scholar but then encountered formidable obstacles set up not only by 'able-ism' but also by sexism. Her triumph over both isms makes her memoir more than just readable."
"Mason's concise, clear, sensitive, and beautifully written memoir resonates with anyone trying to understand another human life."
"Highly recommended for all women's studies and disability studies collections."
"A compelling and evocative story of a woman's life—her pleasures, work, passions, and losses. Mason's focus on strength and healing tell a fresh disability story."
"Life Prints brings home the point that scholars in the relatively young field of disability studies stress: like race, class, and gender, disability configures our experiences, identities, and cultures in fundamental ways. Absent a disability analysis, Mason's experiences sound very much like those of, say, Adrienne Rich, who has written of her years as a 'faculty wife,' and her awakening into feminism and out of institutionalized domesticity and motherhood."

Texas Gov. Rick Perry took time out Thursday from competing with Florida Gov. Rick Scott to endorse Scott's run for reelection in 2014.
In a teleconference with reporters Thursday afternoon, Perry lauded Scott for 37 months of falling unemployment and steady job creation. And the one-time presidential contender lambasted Scott's most recently announced Democratic rival, former Gov. Charlie Crist, for the loss of 832,000 jobs when Crist governed Florida as a Republican from 2007-2011.
"I know Rick Scott and I know Charlie Crist and know the difference. Rick Scott is a clear leader, a job creator who has been a great competitor," Perry said. "He is one passionate dude. He is a guy who is absolutely on fire about creating opportunities for the people of Florida."
Crist filed his candidacy papers Nov. 1, and is competing with former Sen. Nan Rich, D-Weston, for the Democratic nomination for governor.

The steam engine Ashorne on the day of the sale viewing
Ashorne Hall was built in the 1890's 4 miles South of Warwick. The estate was orginally very large but had lately reduced to the house and 6 acres.
The steam railway at Ashorne Hall in Warwickshire was short lived. It was built by Graham Whitehead over a period of six months in 1994 to complement the attractions at Ashorne Hall. It closed in 2003 with his death and sadly never reopened. A sale of the equipment took place in May 2005 and the track was lifted over a period of only a week in June 2005.
The railway was intended as a complementary attraction to the collection or organs and concert room at the Hall. This gave it the title of the Nickelodeon Line. the railway was well equipped with high quality rolling stock and was very well laid out so that its half a mile of track of 12.25 inch gauge track was set out in only 6 acres of grounds. A trip traversed almost all the track twice so that a one mile journey was provided. A number a special event days saw visiting engines such as Sherpa from the Fairbourne and Barmouth Railway and Exmoor from it's private railway.
The railway started from a terminus Orange Blossom Halt, crossed an 80 foot long bridge before climbing up a one in 70 gradient past the middle New Lodge station through a 40 foot tunnel and then round a reverse loop before retracing the route and calling at the middle station . There was hardly any straight track on the route. A journey took 10 minutes.

The railway started with a single 2-4-2 tank engine built by the Exmoor Steam Railway of Bratton Fleming in North Devon and which carried the name Ashorne. This locomotive did most of the work despite problems with poor quality local water.
They also provided 3 carriage chassis on which local craftsman Paul Stamp built three superb bodies. These are arguably the best carriages ever built for this size of railway. Later a further two toast rack style coaches were added.

A Petrol locomotive was built at Ashorne by combining a 2-4-2 chassis from Exmoor with a Coventry climax petrol engine. The result was an unusual locomotive with real character and it carried the name Bella and an unusual brown livery.

The railway boasted two superb stations complete with waiting rooms and coal fires. A tunnel provided interest half way along the journey. The middle station also had a footbridge and water tower and was only accessed by the train on its return journey. A three road engine and carriage shed provided covered storage for all the rolling stock although it was apparently often not used with the stock left outside awaiting the next set of visitors.

When it became clear that the new owners of the Hall would not want a steam railway in the garden the equipment was put up for tender sale. The disposition was the split the railway in three directions. About half the track and two wagons went to start a new railway near Rugby. The petrol locomotive Bella and all the carriages went to a private 10.25 inch gauge railway in the Midlands.
The Steam Locomotive Ashorne and the remaining track went to the Rudyard Lake Steam Railway near Leek in Staffordshire. The locomotive was renumbered as No.9 and renamed Pendragon and re-gauged in winter 2005-6 at the Exmoor Steam Railway and has been in regular use since March 2006 at the Rudyard Lake Railway. Pendragon now has its own web page detailing its story. You can learn to drive a steam train at Rudyard Lake Steam Railway
The track was used to relay part of the main line at Rudyard in 2007 and the points were re-gauged and re laid at Rudyard in February 2008. News of the Rudyard Lake Steam Railway in Staffordshire is here.
The abandoned stations and tunnel remained in 2005 as a silent witness that a railway one ran on this site. To see Chris Burgess's excellent site on the lifting and final pictures click Closure of Ashorne Hall

The slim possibility that crime may pay is the old-fashioned but solid engine powering "The Right of the Weakest." Engaging account of decent folks scraping by in a former steel town builds suspense with a keen eye and a sharp ear. Commercial runs in Europe and offshore arthouse dates beckon following film's Cannes competition slot.
The slim possibility that crime may pay and fortune may smile on the little guy is the old-fashioned but solid engine powering "The Right of the Weakest." Consistently engaging account of decent folks scraping by in a former steel town builds suspense with a keen eye and a sharp ear for the pride of workers who no longer have work. Belgian writer-director-actor Lucas Belvaux ("Trilogy") imbues his portrait of an industrial community with the residue of history and the urgency of the dead-end present. Commercial runs in Europe and offshore arthouse dates beckon following film's Cannes competition slot.In an intriguing opening shot, middle-aged men behind a chain-link fence look on silently as a once-mighty steel mill in Liege is dismantled for scrap. Central characters and the ties between them are then introduced at a steady but slightly mysterious pace. Fiftysomething Robert (Claude Semal) wakes up in the middle of the night to drink beer. He lives in the same tall, ugly apartment building as his best friend, Jean-Pierre (Patrick Descamps), who has been confined to a wheelchair since a long-ago accident at the foundry. When the apartment building's elevators are out of order, Robert carries barrel-chested Jean-Pierre on his back rather than miss their regular card game at the cafe. The youngest card player is Patrick (Eric Caravaca), a thirtysomething unemployed house-husband whose college degree has been useless. His wife Carole (Natacha Regnier) works an exhausting shift at an industrial laundry. They have a well-mannered son, Steve (Elie Belvaux), but their funds are so scarce that their household equilibrium is imperiled when Carole's motorbike breaks down for good. Terse loner Marc (Belvaux), out of prison and determined to go straight, untangles bottles on the assembly line at the local beer factory. When to resign yourself to the status quo — however raw or untenable a deal it may be — and when to take matters into your own hands is the slow-burning idea that builds to a smartly staged finale. Flashes of Ken Loach-like situational humor crossed with the unrelenting social challenges of the Dardenne Bros. come to mind. But Belvaux, whose interlocking "Trilogy" was powerful and inventive, continues to stake his own stylistic claim with appealing — if desperate — characters. Narrative is set up so there are no clear-cut bad guys. Except, that is, the inexorable march of exploitative globalization that leaves the talents and good will of decent, ordinary people dangling as collateral damage. Interactions are written and played for maximum authenticity with the supple widescreen camera rarely losing sight of the environment — river, factories, public housing, workers' cottages with gardens — that forged the personalities on display. Agreeably unsettling score is deployed with finesse.

Let's borrow trouble
U.S. objectives should drive war timetables, not the other way around
Pop quiz: Who brought an end to U.S. combat operations in Iraq? Those who say President Barack Obama get an "E" for effort, but the correct answer is President George W. Bush. And the Iraqi government.
Few Americans realize that U.S. military operations in Iraq have been authorized by the UN and the Iraqi government since shortly after the U.S. invasion in 2003. That's when the UN Security Council agreed to a status of forces agreement renewable at the consent of the Iraqi government every six months. The last one was to expire in 2008. President Bush could have allowed it to lapse and let his successor pick up the pieces, but he negotiated a new agreement that was signed in Baghdad on Nov. 17, 2008-after Obama was elected but before he took office. It set a timetable for U.S. withdrawal, stating, "U.S. combat forces must withdraw from cities, villages and localities by June 30, 2009" and "All U.S. forces must withdraw by Dec. 31, 2011."
Those remain the two significant deadlines, with this year's Aug. 31 deadline for withdrawal of all U.S. combat forces a tacked-on date set by Obama for political effect: It allowed him to pacify the anti-war wing of the Democratic Party and show that he was doing something tangible to end the war in an election year. The 2009 deadline proved the more important one on the ground, as the U.S. pullback from cities and towns effectively ended combat operations. As one recently returned Army officer told me, "All we've been doing the last year is supporting each other. We've not engaged Iraqis."
The looming question is whether President Obama intends to negotiate a follow-on to the current status of forces agreement, something even critics of the war effort in Iraq say is necessary.
"I worry more about total withdrawal and the expectation that the Sunnis and Shias will just get over their differences" in the absence of a U.S.-Iraq agreement, said Council on Foreign Relations fellow Stephen Biddle in a recent conference call with reporters.
Biddle went further: "I worry more about the end of 2011 than I worry about August 2010."
That's when not only are the last of the U.S. soldiers in Iraq scheduled to leave the country, but also the drawdown of forces from Afghanistan is set to begin.
Biddle, a former professor at the U.S. Army War College and author of Military Power: Explaining Victory and Defeat in Modern Battle, has long argued that turning over fighting to local forces in Iraq is risky in the face of the sort of communal fighting (Sunni vs. Shia with outside terrorists thrown in) that has characterized the Iraq war. Judging by the 2010 drop in U.S. casualties, one might assume that fighting is over. But consider: While three U.S. soldiers were killed in Iraq last month, 273 Iraqis died (90 soldiers, 183 civilians). Added to the country's political instability-it has yet to settle on a government following March elections-it looks clear that Obama's August deadline was tied to a domestic agenda, not the realities on the ground.
That's not to say that troops should remain indefinitely, but to say that our objectives should drive a timetable, not the other way around.
The president threatens to make the same mistakes in Afghanistan. And there we have a pitched battle with U.S. and Afghan forces against the Taliban, terrorists, and related insurgents. Our objective, plainly laid out by Biddle and a host of military experts, is to defeat the Taliban and al-Qaeda. If we do not, those forces are likely to take over a weak Pakistani government and its nuclear arsenal.
And the only way that's no longer our problem-in 2010 or 2011-is if the investment of thousands of lives and billions of American dollars doesn't matter. Or if the threat of nuclear terrorism is to be left in the hands of the next commander-in-chief.

The development of the Three Forks play in the Williston Basin gained momentum in the first part of 2012, as various exploration and production operators reported success in demonstrating the productivity of this oil formation.
Investopedia Broker Guides: Enhance your trading with the tools from today's top online brokers.
Three Forks
Most of the recent development in the Williston Basin has occurred in the Middle Bakken zone in parts of North Dakota and Montana. The Three Forks formation also produces mostly crude oil and is present underneath the Bakken. The play has seen limited development over the last three years as operators focused on the better known Bakken play.
SEE: A Guide To Investing In Oil Markets
Three Forks Activity
EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG) reported four successful wells drilled into the Three Forks in McKenzie County, North Dakota, during the first quarter of 2012. The four wells had initial production rates ranging from 926 to 3,415 barrels of oil per day, with natural gas production between 1.2 million and 3 million cubic feet per day.
Continental Resources (NYSE:CLR) is also active in the Williston Basin and is one of the leaders in developing the Bakken play on its properties. The company has been testing the Three Forks play across its acreage over the last few years.
Continental Resources reports that the thickness of the Three Forks ranges from 180 to 270 feet on its acreage and is separated into more than one zone. The company has drilled two wells into the second-bench of the Three Forks, and reported that the first well produced 64,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) in the first six months and the second well produced 48,000 BOE in the first three months.
It plans to drill as many as eight Three Forks wells by the end of 2012, and is targeting the first, second and third benches of this play.
SEE: The Strategic Oil Reserves Explained
Denbury Resources (NYSE:DNR) has focused mostly on the Bakken play but has also drilled several wells into the Three Forks formation. The company reported that initial production rates on these wells during the first 24 hours ranged from 928 to 2,663 BOE per day. It has nine other Three Forks wells in various stages of drilling or completion and plans to release details of these wells when available.
In 2012, the company plans to drill a total of 17 Three Forks wells as it seeks to determine the potential of this formation on its properties.
Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO) has made substantial investments in the onshore United States over the last few years and has acreage in the Williston Basin. The company reported that the most productive well drilled in the basin during the first quarter of 2012 was completed into the Three Forks formation, and produced at an initial rate of 2,400 BOE per day.
Murphy Oil (NYSE:MUR) is testing the Three Forks on its acreage in Southern Alberta, Canada, and reported production of 350 barrels of oil per day on a recent well. The company encountered problems with a wax build up in the well and is analyzing results to make future wells more productive.
SEE: Why Crude Oil Prices May Not Affect Pump Prices
The Bottom Line
Many exploration and production companies feel that the Three Forks may one day be as productive as the Bakken, and are planning to expand development of this oily play in the Williston Basin. This activity will lead to higher domestic production and will lessen our dependence on oil imports.

Fantastisk beliggenhed... Altan med udsigt mod Akropolis og ud over hustagene i Dejlige Athen. Lejligheden levede fuldstændig op til vores forventninger.
What a gorgeous apartment in a central location. Perfect for exploring Athens. I could see it eoukd nit be to everyones taste, however it was to mine.
The apartment is located on a street surrounded by wonderfully decaying other buildings, covered with vibrant street art. The apartment itself is cool and bright. The bedroom is small and could get a little stuffy, however there was aircon.
The apartment is very well presented and is filled with greenery and street art which gives it a an edgy modernist feeling.
2 minutes walk and you have a good selection of bars and restaurants. 5 minutes walk and you are in the middle of Athens. What more could you ask for. I only needed to use the metro twice and one of those was to get to the airport.
Yannis bize çok yardımcı oldu, harita üzerinde nereleri gezebileceğimizi işaretledi. Evden de genel olarak memnun kaldık.
Schönes Appartement in dem kreativen Stadtteil Psirri. Gute Ausstattung, alles sehr sauber. Etwas zum Wohlfühlen mit ausreichend Platz.

800 million parking spaces can be wrong
A study reveals the environmental damage from storing all of those cars
Civil engineers from the University of California, Berkeley, looked into how many parking spaces have been built in the US, and the most likely estimate is 800 million. Assuming each parking space is 200 square feet (10 by 20 feet is the standard), that amounts to 160 billion square feet or 3.67 million acres of concrete and asphalt. The mind boggles.
"Estimating the environmental cost of all that parking reveals that parking alone adds 10 percent to the CO2 emissions of your average automobile," Scientific American reports. "And the amount of soot added to the atmosphere as a result of all our cars nearly doubles. That's thanks to all that asphalt and concrete and the emissions that go along with making it."
The authors of the study note: "The environmental effects of parking are not just from encouraging the use of the automobile over public transit or walking and biking (thus favoring the often more energy-intensive and polluting mode), but also from the material and process requirements in direct, indirect, and supply chain activities related to building and maintaining the infrastructure."
The Infrastructurist reports that "over the course of a car's lifetime, emissions of sulfur dioxide and soot rise 24 percent and 89 percent, respectively, once parking is properly considered."
"Those are just part of a broad "suite of impacts" that includes previously studied costs like the "heat island effect" — the term for when dark pavement raises the temperature of a city, leading to additional energy demands for cooling. And atmospheric costs are only part of the suite. According to the paper's lead author, Mikhail Chester, there may be a larger infrastructure for parking than for roadways. If that's the case, there would seem to be another great cost to all this parking: the relative cost of useful space."

Britain Gets Jitters Over Hydrogen Bomb
LONDN (AP)- Britain broke out today in a rash of hydrogen bomb jitters.
Reports of the awesome and unexpected fury of American's hydrogen bomb test
explosion in the Pacific March 1 prompted fresh demands in Parliament and the
press for all-out diplomatic efforts to banish the threat of atomic war.
The Laborite London Daily Herald, in a rare front page editorial, demanded
that the United States call off any more hydrogen bomb tests before it turns
the Pacific into a "source of peril."
It called on the British government to take the initiative in seeking international
consultation "on all the problems involved for mankind in possession of
the bomb."
The influential liberal Manchester Guardian also warned of the possible "most
serious" consequences of further hydrogen bomb tests.
Newspapers used "scare" headlines over President Eisenhower's news
conference statement yesterday that something must have happened at the March
1 explosion that surprised and astonished scientists.
In Parliament, Laborites have renewed their demands for some sort of fresh
approach to Russia. A few Conservatives also have asked questions along these
Lord Salisbury, Britain's atomic chief, told the House of Lords last night
the "hideous reality" of the hydrogen bomb makes necessary a live-and-let-live
understanding between Russia and the West. He warned that no one could win an
atomic war.
Other peers expressed similar fears. Lord Henderson, Laborite, proposed an
"all-in" Europe security treaty which would recognize the continued
existence of both he East's defense arrangements and the West's NATO alliance.
Lord Salisbury said the government would be ready to study the idea.
Prime Minister Churchill told the House of Commons last Monday he had not abandoned
his 10-months-old suggestion for an informal meeting between the heads of major
powers, including Russia, to ease world tension. He said "increasing good
will in the world" may avert war but he warned at the same time of the
stupendous problems and perils comprised in the sphere of a atomic and hydrogen
Many papers carried roundups of latest atomic and hydrogen bomb developments
throughout the world. Maps and diagrams spelled out for average Britons just
how a single hydrogen bomb could obliterate or devastate much of their island
The science editor of London's liberal News Chronicle said the extended risk
area now announced for future American H-Bomb tests in the Pacific would cover
territory equal to all the British Isles, half of France, all of Holland and
Belgium, and Germany as far west as Frankfurt.
He added that "no means of controlling the hydrogen reaction can be foreseen."
The News Chronicle warned editorially that fear and despair over the hydrogen
bomb may develop into a helpless apathy which might make atomic warfare "not
only possible but inevitable." The newspaper referred to President Eisenhower's
invitation to Russia to join in pooling atomic energy for peaceful uses but
said "the time has now come to have done with the oblique and to go directly
once again for the goal."
The Daily Herald quoted an unnamed British atom scientist as saying it is theoretically
possible to make a hydrogen bomb that would disperse sufficient radioactivity
to kill all humanity. He added, however, that the bomb's immense size would
make it impractical "in any foreseeable future."
"But in my scientist's view," he was quoted at saying, "the
Americans have now reached the stage at which they should remove their experiments
far from any land or any shipping routes."
The Communist Daily Worker, blared "H-blast got out of control."
Alongside it quoted the demand of a Communist candidate in a Parliamentary bi-election:
"Abolish every A-bomb."
Lord Beaverbrook's pro-empire Daily Express front-paged the first of a day-by-day
roundup report on "this stupendous problem- the H-bomb."
Dr. Donald Soper, president of Britain's Methodist Conference who frequently
espouses left wing causes, issued a press statement calling on Christians everywhere
to petition their governments to ban or abolish atomic and hydrogen bombs. He
said, "I believe we are approaching in this atomic experiment a point of
no return."
Much of Britain's "atomic uneasiness" follows last January's speech
by U. S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles announcing America's policy of
instant and massive retaliation against aggression. Churchill himself sought
to ease these fears by assuring the House of Commons that the United States
would consult Britain before launching any atomic counter-attack from bases
in Britain.
There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: Americans in the 1950s still relied heavily on local newspapers for international news. This detailed account of the British reaction to American atomic testing in 1954 shows a growing rift between American policy and British public opinion. The first hydrogen bomb, far more powerful than the weapon that destroyed Hiroshima to end World War 2, was tested by the United States in the Pacific Ocean on November 1, 1952. British leaders across the political spectrum express concern about the American testing of powerful hydrogen weapons in the Pacific. The "British Jitters" were intensified by statements by the American Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, who in January of 1954 had warned of "massive retaliation" by the United States in response to a Russian conventional attack.

This paper reports the trial of a wearable data capture device, SenseCam, as a resource for digital narratives and uses data from the trial to reflect on the models of the 'mind' that underscore HCI. More particularly, over a period of one week, 5 participants and 2 researchers used SenseCams to capture digital traces of their experiences, and used the same to create 'story telling' materials for presentation at a workshop at the end of the trial. The study found that all users delighted in the devices, but found that the traces that SenseCams produced were not analogues to their own memory. Instead, SenseCam data presented a picture of daily lives which was at once different to the one recollected by participants and yet brought a sense of wonder, depth and felt-life that was strangely enriching; furthermore, SenseCam data enabled participants to create artistic and evocative stories about prosaic activities that would not normally merit being recounted; and finally, SenseCam data could be used to tell parables about 'life' and hence about the characters in those parables. The paper will comment on the implications these findings have for digital narrative technologies, on concepts of memory prosthesis devices, the sociology of memory and for the concept of mind that underscores HCI.

The best (and edgiest) bits at Designersblock 2012…
Dark, sinister and a little bit twisted – not the plot a new TV series, but the latest interior design trend according to what was on show at recent exhibition Designersblock. The perfect antidote to anyone complaining that London Design Festival has become too corporate, this show was challenging and edgy. We bring you the best (and scariest) bits...
Our first pick is Queen of the skulls by Lauren Baker (pictured above). No animals are harmed in the making of her art – each skull comes from a creature that has died of natural causes and each artwork comes with the story of its demise. If you're too squeamish to have the real thing in the house, opt for something a bit more subtle - faux skulls are popping up on everything from crockery to textiles.
Second is The New English. At Designersblock a series of artists were commissioned to customise a ceramic heart. The resulting artworks were displayed on a huge graffiti-style heart painted on the wall. There was even a "Pimp my Pot" workshop so you could create your own.
And ticking the box for twisted, if literally rather than metaphorically, was Valentina Gonzalez Wohlers' Wild Bodged Chair – a beautifully wild and natural interpretation of what a chair can be.

I just got back from St Louis and the Moonlight Ramble they had last night. The Oldest Princess and I did the long 18 mile course in pretty good time. ALOT of little kids bunched up and older yahoo kids playing grab ass on the course! Anyways, I was pleased with our 13 mph "pace" and good finish time. They had alot of hills in Forrest Park (funny, I didn't remember them in the car).
1)I felt I can keep up with "real" cyclist now. I had to hold back on the pace a little, the Oldest had a three hour volleyball practice in the afternoon. She was one tired puppy by the time we hit Market Street for the finish. But I felt I could have pushed the pace to 15 or even 16 mph. Even on my Nomad Fitness!
2)After the ramble, and my free beer, I had alot more miles in me. I proved it by running down to the new Busch Stadium and the River Front for another hour of hill climbing. We had alot of time to kill. The metro didn't start up again til 5:30 am! But the sun rise ride in St Louis was breath taking. So, I'm thinking really serious about upping my miles and even commuting (at least part way for starters) to and from work.
I also learned a few more things:
1) Empty your damn bags before riding! I had them full of tools and supplies that I didn't need, leftovers from a neighbor who gave them to me on a ride when he saw me. But, at least I "power trained" with the extra weight.
2)Bags suck, for me, in general. Too many heel strikes when I'm in my straps. I'm going to a trunk bag. It will hold all I need.
3)Riding in a crowd of mixed riders takes the comuting power of a hyper ADD! Talk about multi tasking! I'm watching around me, and my Oldest, and talking to her keeping her pumping and close to me. I think I was more mentally drained than physically.
4)Riding is a blast! We did the 18 mile "dodge and run" and then another 15 sight seeing. My legs are a "good" sore, but I'm ready to go again tonight.
Anyways, I'm beat. I'm going to shower and get some sleep. Thanks to all who has written your stories and milestones. They make me get off my lazy ass and want to do something! You all have put the air into my sail. Thank you.

The world is abuzz today over the news that Arnold Schwarzenegger stepped out (at least once that we know of) on Maria Shriver, his wife of 25 years.
I personally was not shocked by this revelation, in part because I think that it takes a certain personality type to want to be in politics in the first place (also in part because Schwarzie is a total womanizer and dickwad, but that's another post for another day, isn't it?).
Of course, politicians are not the only ones who stray (although it does seem to mean that a lot of them do). So, I'm curious…
Sorry! This poll is now closed.

Just wondering if this will fit on my 08 wrx as a direct replacement? Also I dont think the intercooler to the turbo is a direct flange bolt on so how would I bolt the intercooler on? Any more info on the turbo would be great. Thanks
It'll work, it just requires some modification to the set-up to run it. You can just slap it on and walk away. Biggest reason is this.
See how different the layout is? The 2008 WRX and up layout is on the left and the 2002-2007 WRX/2004 and up STI layout is on the right.
Like, I said. You can use the 20G turbo. It just requires some extra work and changes.
I already got a turbo back exhaust, I am planning on buying a front mount to go along with the turbo. After I install them I am gonna get a bigger fuel pump and injectors which should do the trick.

That is a bare minimum right there.
A 3 port bcs, intake, turbo inlet, EWG, and whatever headers or PnP exhaust manifold option you choose would be all optional. But, a lot of those are highly recommended upgrades. You probably would be pushing the stock engine to its limits and the stock clutch will probably die out after some hard thrashings.

It does it's job
This review is from: Tripp Lite P120-000 DVI To VGA Adapter
Pros: I needed something to connect monitor with a VGA port to my new graphics card (which only had DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort - it's the AMD 6970) until I had the money to get the monitor I planned on using. No problems at all. Once I stopped using it, my friend used it for a similar reason with no problems.
Cons: None at all
Other Thoughts: Just make sure to do research to make sure your DVI port isn't a DVI-D port. DVI-D ports only accept digital, and VGA is analog. This doesn't convert from analog to digital, just converts the type of port. As far as I know, most DVI ports are DVI-I (both analog and digital accepted), but definitely something to check first.

Pros: Works great. Bought it to temporarliy connect an old CRT while installing software to a new workstation I was building that had only DVI connectors for multiple LCD monitors.
Cons: The ATI Fire GL video card I bought includes two of these in the box. I didn't need to buy another one.

Goalkeeper Keylor Navas is one of Costa Rica's brightest prospects. Displaying a maturity beyond his years, the 22-year-old has gradually built a solid reputation for himself, a reputation that is about to be put to the test. For having just come back from injury, he is now bidding to keep Mexico at bay when the two countries meet at the Estadio Azteca later this month.
Though goalkeepers usually make their debuts at a later stage than outfield players, the old saying "If they're good enough, they're old enough" certainly applies in Navas' case. With his speed, sharp reflexes and safe handling, Navas impressed his coaches at Deportivo Saprissa so much so that he made his first appearance for the club at the age of 18 in a November 2005 league match against Carmelita.
Although the game ended in a disappointing 1-1 draw, the debutant made light of his understandable nerves to produce a polished performance. "I did feel a bit anxious," he commented afterwards. "But I have to say I'm pleased with how I played and my team-mates helped me a lot too."
Navas quickly made the Saprissa goalkeeping slot his own and, thanks to a series of solid showings, he forced his way into the Costa Rica squad before he had even turned 20. And although his path to a starting place was barred by the consistently excellent Jose Francisco Porras, the young understudy at least had the opportunity to watch and learn from a master keeper.
Navas was no stranger to the international scene, having travelled to the FIFA U-17 World Cup Finland 2003 and then, just a matter of weeks after making his club debut, forming part of the Saprissa side that finished third at the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2005.
So when Porras and second-choice keeper Alvaro Mesen announced their retirements, the way appeared to be open for Navas to claim the number-one slot for the start of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ qualifying campaign. Yet it was the more experienced Ricardo Gonzalez who got the nod for the tie against Grenada, with Gonzalez keeping his place as Los Ticos got their CONCACAF Group 3 campaign under way. The vital clash away to Suriname saw new coach Rodrigo Kenton ring the changes, however, handing the young Saprissa keeper a chance to impress.
Fitness race
Navas repaid the Kenton's faith with an assured performance although an untimely knee injury robbed him of the chance to cement his position, forcing him to miss the opening game of the final six-team group against Honduras. Having now worked his way back to full fitness, the young custodian is ready to make a return, as Saprissa doctor Willi Galvez recently confirmed: "His recovery went well and, God willing, he'll be ready for the Mexico game."
After watching last weekend's derby win over Alajuelense from the bench, Navas is desperate to for another taste of international action and a chance to reprise Costa Rica's famous victory at the Azteca back in 2001. "We're going for another win there, you can be sure of that," he vows. "We are a team of winners and we know we can go out and beat anyone anywhere."
Time will tell whether the latest generation of Ticos can emulate the achievement of Alexandre Guimaraes' side and upset the Mexicans again. Although given Navas' self confidence and his abilities between the posts, there is no reason why lightning cannot strike twice at the Azteca.

Nah, once they introduce a new one, the old one shouldn't be used for at least a long while. Because if they keep both, there's still the problem of the repetitive build for those sets that still use the old build.
Not as much, because with a different variety of bodies, say, 3 types of bodies, two sets can use 1, another 2 can use other and another 2 can use the other.

Greg was born and raised in the suburbs of Overland Park, Kansas. From a very young age, he knew that his biggest interest lied in music. At the age of 5, he began to take piano lessons. Four years later, he discovered other instruments such as the guitar and trumpet. In high school he began to explore other means of musicality and ran over the notion of audio engineering and DJing. He soon became fascinated by how music is made and recorded. Greg always strived to hone in on his craft and make his musical ideas come to life.
At the age of 18, Greg was signed to his first indie label out of Tampa Bay Florida. He then formed a DJ duo with a high school friend, Loren. Greg decided to leave his DJ career at the age of 20 to attend an audio engineering school, the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences. Immediately post graduation, he moved to LA where his journey began. His first internship with film composer Klaus Badelt, whose biggest credits are Pirates Of The Caribbean and Gladiator, confirmed that his future career is destined to be in music.
He then met music producer, Anthony Marinelli, who he still works very closely with today. With Anthony, Greg began to engineer and eventually arrange and help produce songs. In collaboration with Anthony, he has helped develop a live show, BollyDoll, which was originally started by Amrita Sen and Timbaland. Aside from BollyDoll, Greg has had the opportunity to work on various commercials for companies such as Jaguar and Google's 23 and Me.
Greg has also worked and collaborated with other various artists, musicians, and editors. He worked closely with music editor Clint Bennett and touched on the art of sound editing. With Clint, Greg has work on TV shows, such as New Girl, and movies such as The Mortal Instruments. Another notable project was working as an assistant to Mark Foster from "Foster the People" on a film called "Little Boy."
