TWO football teams battled it out over 24-hours in Newport on Saturday to raise money for the For Luca appeal - and got a visit from Cardiff City star Robert Earnshaw.
The match, which started on 10am on Saturday on the new 3G artificial pitch at the Newport International Sports Village, aimed to raise £7,000 for three-year-old Luca Williams who lost his legs to meningococcal septicaemia.
Gavin Williams, who is Luca's second cousin, said each player in the squads of 18 were sponsored, with some from as far as North Wales.
"We're working a rota so people can get a break during the night and can have an hour's shut eye," he said.
He said he had so far raised nearly £6,000 and was hoping to earn more than £7,000.
The teams wore kits donated by CMS teamwear in Pontyclun, with the for Luca symbol was stitched in.
There was praise for the players from Mo Syed, Luca's father: "It's fabulous. The one thing that's great is that all the players have turned up in torrential rain, all of them smiling and continuing to play with gusto.
"Its amazing and we canÕt thank them enough."
The Luca campaign aims to raise £1.5 million to help fund special prosthetics for Luca, to be replaced as he grows up, which are not available through the NHS.

WARSAW, Poland -- Poland's former president and Nobel Peace laureate, Lech Walesa, said Friday he plans to urge President Barack Obama to take a more active world leadership role when he visits Poland in June.
Speaking to The Associated Press, Walesa said "the world is disorganized and the superpower is not taking the lead. I am displeased."
The former Solidarity leader said that when he meets Obama in Warsaw, he wants to tell him that the U.S. should inspire and encourage the world into positive action.
"The point is not in having the States fix problems for us or fight somewhere, no," Walesa said. "The States should organize us, encourage us and offer programs, while we, the world, should do the rest. This kind of leadership is needed."
Walesa led Poland's peaceful transition to democracy in the 1980s. The June 4, 1989 elections gave Solidarity a share in the power and paved the way for the ouster of communists.

Preparing For and Breaking a Fastby Toby Amidor in Healthy Holidays, Healthy Tips, September 11, 2009
With both Ramadan and Yom Kippur this month, many of you may be fasting to honor those events. Check out what you should eat before and after a fast to maintain strength, regain energy and avoid an upset tummy.
Special Days
In the Jewish religion, Yom Kippur is a holiday focused on atonement and forgiveness. To honor it, followers don't eat food or drink for about 25 hours. Ramadan, a Islamic holiday that began in late August, is a time for reflection and devotion. Those practicing a Ramadan fast don't eat during the daylight hours for a whole month. Whether you're following a religious fast or considering a cleanse, picking the right things to eat before and afterward is essential.
Before the Fast
Leading up to your fast, be sure not to skip meals (there's no need to "practice") and eat well so you can be in tip-top shape while you fast. My family observes a Yom Kippur fast; just before that 25-hour period begins, I eat a dinner that's high in fiber, has lots of nutrients and tons of fluids. I also stick to bland foods and avoid anything I know will upset my stomach.
A typical pre-fast meal would include brown rice, baked chicken, a cooked veggie like carrots or broccoli, a tossed salad and fresh fruits for dessert. Those fruits, veggies and brown rice provide fiber to help me feel fuller a little longer and, of course, offer tons of vitamins and minerals. Drinking water and hydrating yourself before a fast is important. If you're serving a family meal before a fast begins, keep a pitcher or two of water on the table so you don't forget to drink.
With Ramadan, you are allowed to eat meals after sunset and before sunrise. You may have to shift your usual dining hours and get up earlier for a proper breakfast — be sure to do it, if you can. A good before-fast meal might be a bowl of oatmeal topped with fresh fruit, a scrambled egg on the side and a glass of milk.
A Few Words of Warning
If you're used to downing several cups of coffee a day, be aware that you'll probably feel tired or headache-y because of caffeine withdrawal during your fast. To help prep, try slowly cutting down on caffeine for about a week before the fast.
Fasting isn't for everyone. Pregnant or nursing women, people who are sick and kids should skip it. If you have a medical condition or take certain medications, definitely check with a registered dietitian and doctor to make sure fasting won't put your health at risk or affect your medicines.
Can I Exercise?
Gym bunnies should take it easy during fasting. If you're doing the 25-hour Yom Kippur fast, forgo the exercise that day. For shorter, ongoing fasts like during Ramadan, stick to light activity; try taking a long walk with the family or the dog to keep your energy up. If you have the urge to exercise, do it in the early morning. Eating a well-balanced meal afterward (the before-fast breakfast) is also essential. You can exercise in the evening, but do it a few hours after your post-sunset meal.
After the Fast
So now you're starving, right? Well, the last thing you want to do is stuff your face after you finish your fast. You will get a bad (and I mean BAD) stomach ache. It's important to eat slowly, especially after longer fasts. I like to break fast with a hot cup of tea with a teaspoon of sugar. I'll then move onto something low in fiber, which is easier on the stomach, like a half bagel with tuna fish or a hard-boiled egg. I'll wait about 30 minutes and continue by eating some fruits, veggies or the other half of the bagel. Another suggestion is warm chicken followed by small portions of turkey breast with mashed potatoes and string beans.
TELL US: Do you fast? What are your secrets for getting through it?

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Walkom Going Back On the Ice
by Paul on 08/25/09 at 02:59 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the Globe and Mail,
Stephen Walkom has decided to haul his referee's sweater out of mothballs.
Walkom, who had his 46th birthday on August 8, is stepping down as the NHL's director of officiating with the intent of staying with the league as an on-ice official, a league source confirmed Tuesday. Walkom is expected to be at the NHL officials training camp which begins on Sept. 7. It's believed that when Walkom accepted the executive position during the 2004-05 NHL lockout that it was on the condition that he would be allowed to return as an on-ice official if/when he made that decision.

As part of my very hectic schedule, I was fortunate to be able to participate in the very first BASSFest as part of the Shimano Experience Team. At first, I wasn't sure what to think of this unique event and its bizarre format.
Even as the event unfolded, I didn't quite understand how things were supposed to go down, and this uncertainty made me a little skeptical of the event.
Now that this special event, held on Tennessee's Lake Chickamauga, is now in the rear-view, I truly hope that it won't be the last.
Big Picture
"If you look for an imperfection in something, you will always find it."
That's something I've heard and read many times, and it's something that I try to remember before I pass judgment on anything. It's been a concept that's helped me see things from a different perspective and see the bigger picture.
Yes, BASSFest had the sport abuzz with skepticism about how difficult the format was to follow. Yes, BASSFest provoked some controversy amongst some Elite anglers, and others, concerning the invitations extended to Open anglers, and how it would effect the Angler of the Year points. Yes, it was different. Yes, it was new.
Now that I got to experience it first-hand and understand what it was all about, I'm all for the this festival-concept event that B.A.S.S. has created.
I think in the beginning, a lot of people were focused on the actual tournament format itself and completely forgot about what the event meant to the fans, and how it was really designed to include them in something that many times they only get to read about or see on TV.
One of the things that was special about the format, that originally I didn't understand, was the fact that the pros who initially qualified for Saturday's competition spent Friday at the expo with the fans. Having a few pros roaming around after cut day at Elite events is a normal occurrence, but to have 50 of the sport's best there to interact with fishing's loyal followers is something special that I think truly highlighted how great this format actually is.
It was a very humbling experience to see the looks on so many of the fans' faces when they got to interact with their favorite fishing idols.
Heck, I even carried a sharpie with me, since the kids were having such a great time getting their shirts and hats covered with signatures. I probably was approached over 50 times to sign something since I was wearing my Shimano jersey. Though I was quick to point out that I am not an Elite anger yet, I would never turn down a chance to make a kid happy.
Pros are a Different Breed
As I watched the many interactions between the pros and the fans, I realized that our sport is very special in that I can't think of any other sport that is so widely beloved and participated in where a young kid, or fan of any age, can approach all of their favorite professionals, have a conversation with them, and then leave feeling as if they just spoke with a friend.
It's very impressive and heartwarming to see that our sport can remain so grounded. I think it's probably the single biggest thing that makes this sport so great – the fact that our professionals continue to be some of the most approachable and friendly athletes in the world.
To me, the importance of giving fans role models that they can relate to as human beings, who are also passionate about the outdoors, cannot be understated.
This kind of "welcoming with open arms" vibe that this sport exudes is just so cool, and it really puts things in perspective as to what's really important when it comes to putting on such an event.
Good Talk
I'm very fortunate in that I get to meet a lot of people who influence the sport and the fishing industry. Going to all these events is a great way to reconnect with these people I've become friends with.
On this occasion I was very lucky to get to spend some time with one of the people I really respect and look up to in the sport – Jerry McKinnis. We hadn't really had the opportunity to speak in the last couple years, so it was really nice when Jerry stopped by the Shimano tent and we were able to walk away for a half-hour to catch up on things.
One of things that we talked about was how BASSFest initially was received with mixed feelings. As a competitive angler myself, I understood some of the skepticism about the event from my own competitor's point of view.
But, as I sat there talking with one of my personal idols and watched him cheerfully meet with fan after fan who had followed his career for decades, I realized what BASSFest was all about:
The fans.
I'm a big fan of BASSFest, and I hope I get to be part of it next year from a competitor's point of view.

You think the Fertittas just pull the money out of their bank and pay everybody? No, this is a real business. There's this whole generation out there that grew up getting free (stuff) on the Internet. So they think everything on the Internet should be free. That ain't how it works. You steal our (stuff), we're gonna get you. We may not get you now, or next month, but eventually we will. We're spending a lot of money towards busting people who steal."

The Concept of Abuse in EU Competition Law
By Pinar Akman
Under Article 102 TFEU (Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union), it has yet to be settled as to what exactly makes a practice abusive or how to measure the standard of harm. This lack of clarity creates uncertainty for businesses and, coupled with the current state of economics in this area, raises an important question of legitimacy. Using legal and economic approaches, this book inquires into the possible objectives of Article 102 TFEU and proposes a modern approach to interpreting 'abuse.' In doing so, the book establishes an overarching concept of 'abuse' that conforms to the historical roots of the provision, to the text of the provision itself, and to modern economic thinking on unilateral conduct. It therefore inquires into what Article 102 TFEU is about, what it can be about, and what it should be about regarding both objectives and scope. The book demonstrates that the separation of exploitative abuse from exclusionary abuse is artificial and unsound. It examines the roots of Article 102 TFEU and the historical context of the adoption of the Treaty. Additionally, it looks at the case law, policy, and literature on exploitative abuses, and, where relevant, on exclusionary abuses. It investigates potential objectives, such as fairness and welfare, as well as the potential conflict between such objectives. Finally, the book critically assesses the European Commission's modernization of Article 102 TFEU before proposing a reformed approach to 'abuse' which is centered on three necessary and sufficient conditions: exploitation, exclusion, and a lack of an increase in efficiency.

It is rare to have lunch with someone who is so quotable it's impossible to include all their zingers in a 2500 word piece. And yet, so it was with American Vogue creative director Grace Coddington (left, with Donna Karan), whose willingness to speak her mind is both singular and extremely appealing. Thus, as I promised via Twitter, following are the thoughts that DIDN'T make it into the story – but that, nevertheless, I am very happy to pass on. Read more

The landscape of contemporary Paris, replete with the best restaurants, the trendiest bars and clubs, is usually filled with the wealthy, the famous, and le rake or le rou, the charming, educated sophisticate with little or no conscience. Into this cushy world bursts Dr. Crandall Taylor - or rather the actor who plays him, the star of a dated American soap opera that is now one of the hottest prime-time shows in France. And this newfound fame, as enriching as it is unexpected, is not wasted on Crandall, eager to put his dark and often violent American past behind him and enjoy all the fruits and the women that Paris and fame have to offer him.
But TV fame isn't enough. Randall wants a feature film. Every actor wants a feature film, and so Crandall uses his charm and intellect to draw into his narcissistic web four different women: an executive at the network that runs his show; an American porn star reaching new heights on the Internet; a bookish university student with a slightly nasty bent; and the beautiful would-be actress wife of an arms dealer. Against his better judgment, Crandall accepts both the arms dealer's cash and his beautiful wife's advances. Soon, Crandall is on the run through the alleys and streets of Paris, trying not only to fund a film but simply to stay alive. But this is no ordinary chase and Crandall is no ordinary mouse and soon his penchant for violence, sex, and megalomania erupts into full-blown war.
Rake is the latest noir classic from the author of The Ice Harvest. It features a charming, despicable antihero and a funny, satiric take on modern entertainment culture. Phillips turns his gimlet eye on the lush life of an actor who, on his destructive tour through Paris, crosses the line from garden variety narcissism into full-fledged psycopathy.

Rake, cad, roué, scoundrel. He's the man you love to hate-- or hate to love. The anti-hero of Rake, actor Crandall Taylor, is all these things.
Scott Phillips, author of "The Ice Harvest," has set his latest thriller in Paris. His fox in the henhouse is Crandall, the lead villain of a trashy Santa Barbara-like soap opera which has flopped in the States, but is making it big in Europe.
Taylor moves to Paris to enjoy the life of a celebrity, and exploit his capital to make a film. But by "inhabiting his character," he's has made powerful enemies.
Written with striking immediacy, momentum, and knowing humor, "Rake" is modern noir at its caddish, loutish, suspenseful best.

Articles: September 1983
*The first three articles are prior to Joe Elliott's comment*
September 3, 1983
By Clay Hutto
El Paso Herald Post
With only three albums behind them, and their average age
in the early twenties, the band members of Def Leppard have suddenly become
phenomenally successful. Their latest album, Pyromania, has sold more
than 1 million copies and is holding firm in the upper regions in the Billboard's
Top Ten. Their second album, High and Dry, released almost two years
ago, has sold more than half a million copies and is still listed in the
Billboard charts. The success of these albums attests to Def Leppard's increasing
But why is Def Leppard so popular? What is the cause for the group's sudden surge in notoriety?
The band's guitarist, Steve Clark, attributes Def Leppard's success to timing more than anything else.
"Maybe there was a gap to be filled," Clark said in a telephone interview, "and we just filled it."
Of course, there has to be more to it than that. The adulation Def Leppard has been receiving is a result of something more than filling a gap.
"We spent a lot more time in the studio on our last album," added Clark. "Everyone suspected that Pyromania would be the one to really take off."
And take off it has. Pyromania has been on the Billboards' charts for 31 weeks now and has climbed as high as fourth. And unlike many heavy metal groups, which rely mostly upon concert performances to sell albums, Def Leppard's singles have sold well, stimulating album sales. Its most recent single, Rock of Ages {not to be confused with the gospel song}, is a hit and has climbed high into the Billboard rankings, an occurrence that is not common with most heavy metal or heavy rock songs.
But that is perhaps the key to Def Leppard's popularity. Its music has the same power and energy that most heavy metal music has, but, in addition, its songs have more of a melody to them. At least Clark thinks so.
"We play rock music with more melody to it." Clark said. "A lot of heavy rock groups can't really get a melody in the their songs; their songs don't have an identity. But our sound has more of a variety to it. It appeals to a broader audience."
They debuted as a band in July, 1978 at a local school. It was an inauspicious debut. They were not yet polished musicians. But more than that, they were a hard rock band starting out in the height of the punk music trend.
"Everybody said, 'You aren't going to get anywhere playing hard rock'" Clark said, "but we stuck to our guns. We played what we felt comfortable with. We weren't trying to be a part of a trend. We just played what we liked."
The music they liked was hard rock. The band members listed UFO, Thin Lizzy and Led Zeppelin as musical influences. "We all have about the same taste in music," Clark noted.
Interestingly, when the band changed the spelling of its name from Deaf Leopard to Def Leppard {to discourage punks who for some reason came to Deaf Leopard concerts}, the band was accused of imitating Led Zeppelin's name. It was really just a coincidence, but perhaps a fateful one. In many ways, such as style and now popularity, Def Leppard is the 80's answer to Led Zeppelin.
Def Leppard will rock the Coliseum 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Uriah Heep will open the concert.
In the same sense, Def Leppard's music, according to Clark,
"has no real message." It's played so "everyone can enjoy
it, without taking it too seriously." It's escapsism, Clark
said, intended to bring relief and entertainment.
"It's for people who have been working all day and who want to forget about all their problems and have fun," said Clark.
Apparently, that's just what a lot of people want.
It was more like being in a combat zone than being at a
When Def Leppard seized the stage and shelled the audience with Rock, Rock {Till You Drop}, some actually did just that.
It wasn't only the buzz-saw loudness of the music, it was also the sweltering heat that did a few in. The Coliseum Tuesday night was steamier than a Swedish sauna. It was a hot night and the thousands of bodies giving off heat didn't help. Neither did the glaring lights that bathed Def Leppard like beams of sunlight.
Standing in the rear of the Coliseum, opposite the band, gives a new perspective to a concert. The distance did little to muffle the music. It thundered across the open court with all the velocity of a mortar attack. One could feel the thump, thump of the drum pounding the solar plexus. But worse of all was the oppressive heat and all the stale air. It all added up to an assault on the senses.
Most didn't mind: most didn't seem too seriously affected. But a few, mostly teenage girls, swooned and had to be carried to the first aid station.
There were also a few rambunctious males, looking as discreet as Hell's Angels, that had to be forcibly escorted to the exits.
Fans walking around the rear of the Coliseum were as interesting looking as the band. All kinds of garb was on display, from girls in tight jeans and Def Leppard t-shirts to older girls in more chic apparel, to young men who looked like pirates.
But the most interesting sight of all was a young fellow who looked like an undernourished Bill Walton. Standing close to seven feet, with frizzy blond hair and wispy whiskers, and clad only in red shorts and sneakers, the tall one strode through the crowd like he was going for a dunk.
But other than those diverting sights, the Def Leppard concert roared right along. Most of the songs were taken from Def Leppard's last two albums. Several were from its latest album, the million selling Pyromania, a prophetic title considering the temperature of the music and the Coliseum during the concert.
In addition to Rock, Rock {Till You Drop}, Def Leppard blitzed the responsive and teeming crowd with Billy's Got a Gun, Foolin' and Photograph, all cuts from their latest album. Def Leppard also played some its more popular cuts from their second album, High and Dry, including Mirror Mirror {Look Into My Eyes}.
But the highlight of the concert came near the end, when Def Leppard launched its current hit single, Rock of Ages, complete with two giant pinwheels bursting into spinning sparklers on stage during the chorus.
All things considered, it was an apt image.
Leppard performance leaves some good, bad impressions
September 9, 1983
By Edna Gunderson
El Paso Times staff writer
These days, one of the more important milestones between
birth and high school graduation has to be the attending of your
first rock concert.
For 13 year-old Travis Duke, an eighth-grader at MacArthur School, the magical evening took place Tuesday night at a sold-out Def Leppard concert in the El Paso County Coliseum. "It was great," he said casually, as if he'd fully expected nothing less. "I really had a good time." Travis, a lanky blond with a love for basketball, spends much of his free time collecting and selling golf balls that stray into his East Side neighborhood from the Cielo Vista course across the street. He also enjoys listening to albums by Judas Priest, the Scorpions and Def Leppard, a leisure activity his parents, John and Q Duke, owners of both Griggs restaurants, simply can not identify with. Travis long had pestered his parents for concertgoing priveledges. But his young age coupled with the lousy {and deserved} reputation of Coliseum rock audiences led Mom and Dad to postpone that rite of teenhood. Until Tuesday, when they nervously relented.
Concerned about reports of pervasive pot-smoking, Mrs. Duke said, "I told Travis not to inhale all night." Of course, the Duke's claims were allayed by their son's chaperone, a 30 year-old Times reporter who eschews drugs, refuses to engage in Coliseum fistfights and likes to sit a safe distance from the seething mass of bodies pressed against the stage.
We arrived at the Coliseum about 30 minutes before the 8 p.m. showtime, and already the parking lot was jammed with cars and wandering teens desperate to buy scalped tickets. Beer bottles littered the asphalt, and some chemically polluted kids needed the support of the sullied Coliseum walls to remain standing. They fought to keep their eyes open. Sheriff's deputies strolled the lot keeping watch for the inevitable throngs of drug pushers, car burglars and passing out as they leaned against the building. None of this seemed to faze Travis. I asked him where he preferred to sit.
"Anywhere's fine."
Anywhere turned out to be passable seats at the side of the stage. Uriah Heep guitarists were in full view, but the keyboardist and the drummer were hidden behind speaker stacks. Travis said he didn't mind, but then he's terribly polite.
Uriah Heep, the opening band, was formed in 1968, so I wasn't surprised when Travis said he wasn't familiar with their music. While listening to some of the band's earlier hits, it dawned on me: I saw my first concert, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, followed a few weeks later by Buffalo Springfield, before Travis was even a gleam in his father's eye. In fact, the first time I saw Uriah Heep, Travis was still in diapers. Sitting next to this starry-eyed boy, I was beginning to feel like the only vestige of my youth was an all-too-frequent pimple.
As Uriah Heep charged through newer numbers like The Other Side of Midnight and standards like Easy Livin', several girls, squeezed breathless and overcome with heat, were hauled over the barricade in front of the stage. Fights ensued when drumsticks were tossed into the compressed crowd. Deputies dragged away a few offenders. Travis never flinched. Obviously, his older friends had briefed him thoroughly. Between sets, we wandered around the hall and finally, through the courtesy of a Def Leppard sound engineer, secured seats on the platform that held the sound and light boards. The lights dimmed, and the crowd's roar shook the Coliseum. Sirens wailed, spotlights darted across the hall and a tape blared the noise of whirring helicopter blades. On stage, flames shot high, and Def Leppard charged into view as thousands pounded the air with their fists.
Travis smiled. The band launched into one of its many urgent anthems, and Travis began tapping his fingers. He occasionally stood up to get a better glimpse of wildly contorting guitarists racing across the stage. Travis was reserved compared to the screaming adolescents bouncing feverishly in Union Jack t-shirts.
Def Leppard delivered an impressive energetic show rife with bleating guitar solos and trampling rhythms. Even so, I found the sound deafening, and my eardrums were vibrating in pain after the first two songs. Travis, however, said the volume was not nearly as high as he had expected.
"I thought is would be really loud," he said.
Most of the band's repertoire was gleaned from its phenomenally successful Pyromania album. When singer Joe Elliott asked how many pyromaniacs were strewn through the audience, many responded by holding up flaming popcorn boxes. One fire in the middle stands had to be stomped out by two quick-thinking youths. Travis watched this with awe.
Rock, Rock {Till You Drop}, Rock of Ages, Foolin', and Billy's Got a Gun drew fierce cheers, but the loudest reaction came with Photograph, a Def Leppard tune that has won MTV's 'Friday Night Video Fights' for eight consecutive weeks, beating out videos by such stellar acts as ZZ Top, Duran Duran, David Bowie, Loverboy and even Michael Jackson.
When the show ended at nearly 11 p.m., Travis seemed fresh and cheerful, while I was fatigued and dazed. With 8,000 other shuffling fans, we inched our way to the car. While we waited for a chance to squeeze into the line of cars, Travis gave me his impressions:
"It was kinda what I expected, but it was more crowded than I really expected," he said. "I really didn't like the first band, but Def Leppard was great. I liked it at the end the way the stage caught on fire."
Was the concert too long? Too short?
"Just right," Travis said, adding, "But it shouldn't be general admission. It should be reserved. When it's general admission, it gets too crowded and that might be the reason people start fights."
I said I thought hard rock crowds often tread dangerously close to anarchy, but Travis saw an advantage in the rowdy nature of concert goers: "I think it's good because the band might think of our town as being louder than the next one. They might like us better."
He did concede that some crowd elements are undesirable. "To a degree, being rowdy is OK, but sometimes they get too crazy, like when they start fires."
Travis said he recognized the pungent odor of marijuana wafting through the crowd and was not disturbed or surprised, although he certainly didn't condone its widespread use: "I guess those people want to do it at a concert. But I think it should be prevented in some way, even if the cops just show those people to the door."
Though he admitted his ears were ringing loudly, he said he thought the sound system was excellent. As for audience conditions, Travis was a fairly gentle critic: "The Coliseum was OK, I guess. The building is kinda bad. I think they should build a new one . I can't stand smoke. That was the only thing that bothered me."
He insisted he was never bored and, in fact, was enlightened by singer Joe Elliott's strongly stated insistence that fist fights be taken outdoors.
"It really shocked me when he told those people to stop fighting," Travis said, mentioning that he owned two Def Leppard albums. "It seems like most rock groups wouldn't care what happens in the audience. When he told them to stop fighting, it gave me a different perspective. I had figured they were just another rock group, but now I think they are really interested in their music and they really care about people who come to the show and want to listen."
I looked at the rumpled Def Leppard t-shirt he held in his lap.
"Are you going to wear that to school tomorrow?" I asked.
"Oh, I don't know," he said with a shrug. "It's kinda wrinkled."
I talked to his mother Wednesday morning.
"It was so cute," Mrs. Duke said. "He said he was worried all through the concert that you would forget that he wanted to buy a t-shirt. He was so relieved when you reminded him about it after the show. Of course, he just had to wear that shirt to school this morning."
Travis Duke, first-time rock concertgoer, stands near the stage between sets at the Def Leppard concert.
El Paso rock radio stations and Hispanic leaders are reacting
strongly to an anti-Mexican remark made by the musical group
Def Leppard.
A spokesperson for the group said members of the band would call El Paso radio station KLAQ today from Tokyo to apologize on the air for the "stupid" remark.
A tape recording of the apology will be sent to Hispanic leaders, the spokesman said.
Playing in Tucson, Arizona, on September 7th, Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott told a concert audience that the band had just returned from an engagement in El Paso, "that place with all the greasy Mexicans," the Arizona Daily Star reported.
Station KLAQ is boycotting the music of Def Leppard this weekend because of the remark, said Bill Briggs, a KLAQ spokesman.
"There will be no Def Leppard music played on this station all weekend," Briggs said.
Disc jockeys at another El Paso station broke a Def Leppard record album on the air today.
Station KSET was polling its listeners on whether the band should be boycotted.
Bill Clifton, disc jockey with KSET said he was breaking records "in protest of that comment they made."
No Def Leppard records will be played today, he said, "at least during my shift."
Joe Loya, district director of the League of United Latin American Citizens, demanded an apology from Def Leppard, and said he would ask all Americans to "boycott a racist group like that."
In addition, Loya said that he will ask that Mayor Johnathan Rogers demand an apology from the group.
Loya said that he heard the news about the comment from his 14 year-old daughter.
His daughter was in the sell-out crowd at the El Paso County Coliseum when the group played here September 6th.
"When she heard that, her face just dropped," Loya said. And she no longer is a Def Leppard fan, he said.
Unless the apology is made, LULUC will boycott the concerts, records and t-shirts of the group, Loya said.
"They're willing to come here and take our money. Then they go and make a dumb statement like that," Loya said. "It is uncalled for and unnecessary."
Drew Murray, spokesman for the group's recording company, Polygram Records in New York City, said the group will call station KLAQ to apologize on the air. A tape of the apology will be sent to the LULAC main office in Houston, he said.
Two members of the group are in Tokyo. The others are in Copenhagen, preparing to start a European tour.
Discussing the comment made by Elliott during the Tucson concert, Murray said, "From what I've been able to gather, it was not aimed at the Mexican-American ethnic group.
"In the heat of the moment, Joe directed his comments at the security guards who were manhandling the fans at the Def Leppard concert in Tucson."
The guards Elliott saw, Murray said, were Mexican Americans.
"It was a stupid comment, not meant to be a derogatory statement to the people of El Paso."
Def Leppard always regarded Texas as the place that helped make them popular in the United States, Murray said. "El Paso was one of the first to embrace Def Leppard. They broke out of Texas."
Def Leppard members describe themselves as a "hard rock" band.
"Steve Crosno
of KSET radio looks for any record to play other than one recorded by Def
"Members of Def Leppard are, from left: Steve Clark, Rick Allen, Joe Elliott, Rick Savage and Pete Willis".

Yeah no worries, just pointing them out
I just want to confirm somethings that aren't clear on my choices too:
1) I put down pinfall as the finish of the main event, but obviously, a ladder climb is what i meant. (Think maybe anyone who put down that should get it as a ladder climb?).
2) I've put down AH instead of AJ for the divas match
3) the tag match I meant to put down only pinfall as the finish, forgot to scrub off submission
(not saying these just got me more points, but that's legit what I meant to put down).
Yeah i know i messed up! I rushed the whole thing together my bad!!
Just letting you know, there's a few mistakes on the prediction contest.
1) it's Dolph Ziggler vs Fandango on the pre-show, not Damien Sandow (he's vs Big E).
2) The main event can't be won via pin or submission, it's climbing the ladder
3) the winners choices for the main event are listed as Orton and Big Show, when it should be Orton and Cena
4) shouldn't the 3rd bonus question read "who will get the pin/submission to win the Shield/Punk match"?
I am sure whoever it is will be back sadly.
I think it is the same person. to be honest though, don't know, and don't care lol!
Is it the same person?
Ah yes that one i had that a long time haha
Perect-Plex followed me for the same reason, because I was telling him to fuck off left right and centre. Chode Man initially because my post count was high lol!
You mean this one:
I liked this one better

Venezuela's Chavez smiles in new photos
Published 9:30 pm, Friday, February 15, 2013
Quito, Ecuador --
The Venezuelan government released four pictures of ailing President Hugo Chavez on Friday, saying he is conscious and alert but having trouble speaking because of a tracheal tube that is assisting his breathing. The images are the first to emerge since Chavez, 58, underwent a fourth round of cancer surgery in Havana on Dec. 11.
The government said the pictures were taken Thursday, as Chavez's two daughters visited him for Valentine's Day. In the photographs, he's shown wearing a blue and white track suit and reading Cuba's Granma newspaper. His face looks full and he's smiling, and there's no sign of the tracheal tube.
Latest news videos
Chavez, who won an additional six-year term in October, has been battling cancer since at least June 2011. The administration has never said what type of cancer he has or what organs it may be affecting. It only has said the cancer is in his pelvic region.

LAKE SUCCESS (Aug. 6)
The subject of Palestine tops the list of major political issues covered in the annual report of U.N. Secretary-General Trygve Lie to the forthcoming session of the General Assembly, it was learned here today.
The Palestine issue also heads the list of major disputes which have come before the international body during the past year. In an introduction to the report, Lie points out that the United Nations took the position of opposing any compulsory enforcement of the partition resolution of last November.
Twenty-five thousand immigrants entered Israel in the first nine weeks after the establishment of the state, and between 100,000 and 120,000 Jewish immigrants will be brought to Israel annually, it was revealed here in a report by Immigration Minister Moshe Shapiro transmitted to the U.N. Another report by Agriculture Minister Aharon Zisling described the labor shortage as a major difficulty facing the country's agriculture.
Frontier control is now maintained at the ports of Haifa and Tel Aviv and the airports of Haifa and Ein Shemer, and it is hoped that Lydda airport will soon be in use again, the report said. Since the end of May, Israeli passport officers in many countries have been issuing visas which have been recognized in practice by the governments of the countries of transit. Visas are granted on arrival to persons from countries where there is as yet no Israeli passport officer.

The Reds placed first baseman Joey Votto on the disabled list for the second time with a strained distal quadriceps. There is no timetable for his return.
Brayan Pena returned from the paternity list. He will fill Votto's roster spot. Catcher Tucker Barnhart, brought up to take Pena's spot, remains with the club.
"That's where we are," Reds manager Bryan Price said.
Daugherty: Young Reds fill hurting Votto's void
The Morning Line: Might Dunn return to Cincinnati?
Fay: Despite injury, Reds better with Votto
Also: Simon could replace Cueto as All-Star
Reds manager Bryan Price discusses the decision to place first baseman Joey Votto on the DL.
Pena, Jay Bruce and Todd Frazier will get the bulk of the playing time at first with Votto out. Jack Hannahan began a rehab assignment Tuesday. He'll be in the mix when he's ready - probably in 10 days to two weeks.
That's sooner than Votto will be ready. The only thing the Reds will say is it hopefully will be this season.
"We did a full workup on Joey," Price said. "It's a similar injury. . . It's exacerbated. There's more soreness. It's something he's just not going to be able to play on.
"Our plan of attack is to do everything we can to get him back to be able to play over the course of the year. I don't have a timetable on how long that will be. But the goal is to get him back and be able to help before the year is out.
"It's probably not a 10- to 15-day issue."
Trainer Paul Lessard said Votto's injury is a tricky one.
"In the distal quad, all the muscles verge into the tendon," Lessard said. "The tendon is basically beat up. We did a strength test on him as well as MRI. The strength was down quite a bit compared to the other leg."
Baseball activities exacerbate the injury.
"Anytime you're loading the leg like he does . . . your lengthening the muscle instead of shortening it," Lessard said. "Anytime you length the muscle and contract it, there's more tension. To run, doesn't bother him. To slow down, does.
Next for Votto is a PRP (platelet rich plasma) injection.
"Basically, they take some blood, they spin it, take all those red cells and shoot it back in there," Lessard said. "Some guys do it once, some guys do it three times. He's going to have one. Whether he has two or three, depends. It promotes new tissue growth because that area doesn't have a good blood supply, so it doesn't heal that well."
The injury is chronic, Lessard said, but Votto could return to full strength.
"It's something he's dealt with a while," Lessard said. "Hopefully with PRP it helps build up the tissue so he doesn't have to deal with it."
Again, there's not a timetable for that. Price will mix and match at first base in the meantime.
"I'd like to make a position where we can rotate people through," Price said. "It allows us to use our bench better. We've been trying to do that in left field, but I left some guys out. If I rotate Frazier over there, it gets (Ramon) Santiago in the game. If I get Jay over there, it keeps our outfielders active.
"I think it will be a little bit more of a rotation through there. But I think primarily Brayan."
Other outfielders will take grounders at first. Ryan Ludwick said he ordered a first baseman's mitt.
"I really want to use our roster," Price said. "You don't want to create a black hole. I don't think we will. I wouldn't put someone over there if they couldn't hold down the position."
Most first basemen are hit-first guys, but that doesn't mean it's an easy position to play at the highest level.
"The old saying was first basemen are a dime a dozen," Price said. "That's until you get somebody who can't handle a throw or scoop a ball out of the dirt or be in the right position on relay. They handle the ball a lot. It is an important position."
Barnhart being on the roster allows the Reds to play Pena at first. But the Reds could bring up Donald Lutz or Neftali Soto from Triple-A and put them in the first-base mix.
"I haven't made that decision yet," Price said. "It's something I talk about a lot with our staff and (general manager Walt Jocketty). What's very important with Tucker is that he continues to develop. He's going to be a very important part of this team for a long time. We think he's a major-league-ready catcher already.
"To have have him catch every seventh or eighth day wouldn't make a great deal of sense. If I get to the point where I put Pena as the primary first baseman, it would create a little bit more opportunity for Tucker. But Devin (Mesoraco) is going to get the lion's share of the playing time."
Pena is dealing with some health issues. Price wants to make sure he can assume his regular catching duties before moving Barnhart.
Both Lutz and Soto had runs with the Reds.
"(Lutz) has got to do more in Triple-A," Price said. "I think he's hitting .200 in Triple-A. The guy who's hitting the ball well in Triple-A is Soto. He's hit .340. That would be a consideration. Right now, the thing I do like -- if we can do it defensively -- it allows us to use our bench players more. Over the course of the season, I've found it harder than I thought it would be to use the entire roster.
"I like that Santiago is going to play more. I'd like to see (Chris) Heisey play more. So, if we can hold down the fort defensively, I'd be reluctant to bring up a Triple-A player right now."
Price reiterated that the Reds aren't looking for a backup first baseman via trade right now.
"We'll see how things unfold the next couple of weeks," Price said. "It's a talking point, but right now that's all it is."

Ramsbottom United management duo Bernard Morley and Anthony Johnson hope to repay chairman Harry Williams' faith by taking the club into the Evo-Stik League for the first time in their 46-year history tomorrow.
Morley and Johnson were surprise appointments as joint managers three years ago, when the pair were aged 25 and 27 respectively, but they will guide Rammy to the North West Counties Premier Division title if they win at home to seventh-placed Winsford United.
The race for the only promotion place has gone to the last day of the season, with Runcorn Town just one point behind them after a midweek win at Barnoldswick.
Morley knows that Ramsbottom's fate is in their own hands and says promotion to Evo-Stik League First Division North would be a fitting reward for Williams, who founded the Rams in 1966. The club's home, the Harry Williams Riverside Stadium, is named after him.
"We were laughed at when we were appointed because people said we didn't have enough experience," Morley said.
"But we've been here for three seasons now and in 46 years the club has never been in that league.
"To be the first people to get them promoted to that league, we would be overwhelmed.
"It was Harry really who backed us, the committee weren't too keen on it – I was 25 and Anthony was 27 – so promotion would repay him.
"Harry's 68 now, he's been involved in football 40 years and has never seen us play in that league."
Runcorn host AFC Blackpool but Morley says Rammy must try to concentrate on their own match.
"With Twitter now people are on their phones and they do tell you that Runcorn are winning 2-0, 3-0, 4-0, and you think 'Oh God'," he said. "I'm sure people will be telling us their score. But we've just got to keep doing what we have been doing over the last 12 or 13 games and just get the three points. In our last 12 games we have only conceded three goals.
"It will either be a great day or a really bad day. I'm excited, I don't think there will be many nerves.
"We're expecting a bigger crowd, we've averaged about 200 this season but maybe there might be 400 for this game, or even more.
"At the moment some people in Ramsbottom don't know the club exists, but if we do go up it would bring a lot of good publicity for the club."

Contained Places
Hawaii, also called the Island of Hawaii, the Big Island or Hawaii Island ( or ; Hawaiian: or ), is an island located in the U.S. state of Hawaii. It is the largest and the southeastern-most of the Hawaiian islands, a chain of volcanic islands in the North Pacific Ocean. With an area of , it is larger than all of the other islands in the archipelago combined and is the largest island in the United States. The island is often referred to as the "Big Island" to reduce confusion between the island and the state. It is with and includes the Hilo Micropolitan Statistical Area.
As of the 2010 Census the population was 185,079. The county seat and largest city is Hilo. There are no incorporated cities in Hawaii County (see Hawaii Counties).
Hawaii is said to have been named for Hawaiʻiloa, the legendary Polynesian navigator who first discovered it. Other accounts attribute the name to the legendary realm of Hawaiki, a place from which the Polynesian people are said to have originated (see also Manua), the place where they go in the afterlife, the realm of the gods and goddesses. Captain James Cook, the English explorer and navigator who was the captain of the first European expedition that discovered the Hawaiian Islands (obviously Polynesians had discovered them long before), called them the "Sandwich Islands" after his patron, the Earl of Sandwich. Cook was killed on the Big Island at Kealakekua Bay on February 14, 1779, in a melee which followed the theft of a ship's boat.
Hawaii was the home island of Paiea Kamehameha, later known as Kamehameha the Great. Kamehameha united most of the Hawaiian islands under his rule in 1795, after several years of war, and gave the kingdom and the island chain the name of his native island.

Review: G.I. Joe Retaliation - A Real American Zero
Living the Stuck in the '80s lifestyle as I do, it's hard to find time to hit up the cineplex for new movies. Umm, even though there's literally a theater 20 yards from my office. Seriously. But thankfully, longtime Stuck in the '80s friend and correspondent Chris Stainton fell on the grenade this week and watched G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Here's his guest review.
Since we are in the wave of '80s animated series turned into live action movies (I am anxiously awaiting the Thundercats if any studio can make something decent), I took one for the team and went to see the new G.I. Joe installment, G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
If "Knowing is Half the Battle" - please, be prepared. Spoiler alert: Plot - Zartan impersonates the President who then orders the destruction of the GI.Joe team. With GI. Joe out of the way, Cobra can take over the world. If you saw the trailer, you saw the best part.
Out of the 3 big hunk actors: Channing Tatum, The Rock, and Bruce Willis, only Dwayne Johnson is in it for the length of the film. Channing is thankfully killed off in the first 12 minutes, and Bruce is in it for the last. All the main "actors" (except maybe Byung-hun Lee, playing Storm Shadow) phoned in their performances.
Seriously, I don't even want to call them actors in this flick, more like actual action figures. Channing was bad, the Rock was lame, even Bruce Willis was on auto-pilot. The director, Jon M. Chu should be removed from the Directors Guild of America. I wonder if he was even on set during the shooting. If the directing and acting is so sub-par, there is no point in wasting dialogue on useless character development. The two "writers" need to take a community college course on screenwriting. They all should be ashamed of themselves as they cash their checks at the bank.
The only saving grace was the effects department. The visuals were excellent, but they couldn't carry the "film." '80s Nostalgia was in full tilt from all the GI Joe and Cobra vehicles featured. They did a good job recreating them from the cartoon and toy store shelves. As Jeff in Cuba/Germany said, "The movie sounds like an accurate reflection of the actual toys: cool vehicles driven by emotionless plastic soldiers." Jeff pretty much nailed it.
Save yourself some money, SIT80s nation, and if you absolutely have to see it, head to Toys R Us and get your own figures and vehicles, and make the film yourself with an iPhone. It would most assuredly be better.
