Is Rihanna A Fan Of Orlando Magic's Rashard Lewis?
To distract herself from her upcoming court date, pop singer Rihanna has been staying busy attending the NBA finals. And although she's been sitting on the Lakers side, rumor has it that she's actually looking to catch the eye of Orlando Magic forward Rashard Lewis.
A spy tells the New York Daily News, "Rihanna is trying to get to know Rashard. She's digging on him, and she hopes the feeling is mutual."
Prior to that, reports circulated that Ri-Ri was into Lakers center Andrew Bynum. However, the source claims, "Ri and Andrew are just friends, and they have been for a while. It's Rashard who she wants. She thinks he's hotter than hot."
Meanwhile, during Game 4 of the NBA finals in Orlando, it was her ex, Chris Brown, working the hardest to get Rihanna's attention. Sitting on the Orlando side of the court, Brown kept stealing looks at his former flame. He even got up and shook hands with her friends at halftime, but Rihanna avoided making her way back to her seat during the break until the last minute.
Sounds like this interchange was probably just as enthralling as what was taking place on the court.

Novak Djokovic will face threat from Rafael Nadal in year-end number one race- View: 5488 by Talha Asif
Tennis commentator, author and former professional player Brad Gilbert thinks reigning world number one Novak Djokovic will face serious threat from former top ranked player Rafael Nadal in his bid to end the season as world number one.
Former world number four Gilbert, who has coached some of the top players including Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, Andy Murray, is really impressed how Nadal has managed to reach the title match of all the six events he has played since making return from a seven month injury break.
In an interview with ATPWorldTour.com, the American tennis expert said, "He didn't rush back until he was close to 100 percent, and the results back up that he made the right decision. What a tremendous effort to be in the final every week he's played.
I love the way he goes about his business." Gilbert thinks that the player who would give best performance from Mutua Madrid Open till Wimbledon will be in the best position to finish the year as top ranked player.
He added, "To me this is the meatiest part of the season. You've got two Masters 1000s back to back and then the French and Wimbledon… that's 6,000 points up for grabs over a short stretch, and what happens during this time will set the tone as to who has a shot of finishing No.
1. Djokovic is in good position now, but it still could be a very tight race." Djokovic defended his Australian Open title at the start of this season and then captured title at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
He ended Nadal's eight-year reign at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters by toppling the Spaniard in the final there. The Serbian is leading in the Race to London with 4,120 points. On the other hand, Nadal captured Brazil Open, Mexico Open, BNP Paribas Open, Barcelona Open titles and finished runners-up at the Chile Open and Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters.
The Spanish star has risen to second place in the Race to London with 3000 points. Djokovic will be trying to become year-ending number one player for the third straight year. On the other hand, Nadal will also be bidding to end season as the top ranked player for the third time but the difference is that he has never done that in consecutive seasons.

ST. PETERSBURG — Two cabdrivers dispatched to pick up customers early Thursday arrived to a surprise: guns aimed at their heads. One was shot. Neither gave up cash to his assailant.
The first attack took place around 2:50 a.m., when driver William G. Kelly went to pick up a fare at 2535 Union St. S, police said. A juvenile in a dark blue T-shirt approached the passenger side of his Independent Cab, pointed a black handgun through the open window and demanded money.
Kelly, 53, hit the gas. The gunman squeezed the trigger.
Kelly, a recent addition to Independent's 4 p.m.-to-4 a.m. shift, was shot in the right collarbone and a bullet pierced his throat, said company president Joe Rosa.
Other night-shift cabbies, listening to the ordeal over radio traffic, rushed to his aid and called for ambulances, Rosa said. He was taken to Bayfront Medical Center, where his was condition was not immediately available.
Kelly was shot about three miles northeast of where Nigerian-born cabbie Cyril Obinka was gunned down in May.
Citing dangers of the overnight shift, Rosa advises his cabbies to use a "gut feeling" on whether to pick up suspicious fares. Still, he said, "they are trying to get home and get their beef on the table."
Thirty minutes later and nearly four miles away, cab driver Michael Solt, 56, of Tampa was called to 1826 18th Ave. N, where he told police a juvenile in a black long-sleeve shirt approached the driver's side window and stuck a gun to his head.
Solt told police he thwarted the attack by driving away and flagging a nearby unmarked police car.

Former Duke QB considering suing Shaq Thompson after car crash
Your teams on the go or at home. Personalize SI with our new App. Install on iOS or Android.
Former Duke quarterback Anthony Boone is considering a lawsuit against Carolina Panthers linebacker Shaq Thompson after the car crash that hospitalized him, Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer reports.
Boone was released from the hospital on Saturday, almost one week after sustaining hand and hip injuries caused by a head-on collision with Thompson.
Thompson, who had alcohol in his system but was not impaired at the time of the crash, was cited for crossing the center line of the road and hitting Boone's SUV head-on. The collision resulted in $45,000 of damage to the two vehicles.
Boone, who is Duke's winningest quarterback and played for the CFL's Montreal Alouettes last season, underwent surgeries to repair a broken hip and torn ligaments in his hand.
Boone's agent, Adam Sattler, said they would wait to discuss pursuing legal action against Thompson until the quarterback is further along in his recovery.

A new report published June 13, 2014 sets out six key challenges faced by those living with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and those responsible for its diagnosis and management. The Wheals of Despair report - created by a multidisciplinary group including hospital specialist consultants, primary care professionals and Allergy UK, initiated and funded by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Ltd - encourages the urgent re-evaluation of the current approach to CSU and highlights the importance of its prioritisation in the minds of healthcare professionals and the NHS.
The report is underpinned by the first ever audit of people with CSU, carried out by Allergy UK and led and funded by Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Limited. The audit found more than half of people with CSU report that they do not have control over their symptoms and state that their current treatment is not sufficient to manage their condition[ii]. Furthermore, over 50% of those with CSU wait more than twelve months for a referral to see a specialist for a diagnosis[ii], adding to the anxiety caused by the discomfort of their symptoms.
Contributors to the report identify gaps in the current healthcare system which are thought to add to the delay in diagnosis of CSU and trap patients in a cycle of inadequate treatment. A key conclusion of the report is that despite new treatment options recently becoming available for approximately 40% of CSU patients who are unresponsive to H1 antihistamine therapy - previously the only licensed treatment for CSU - healthcare professionals and those affected remain unaware of what treatments are appropriate and available to them[ii].
Dr Sinisa Savic, Consultant Clinical Immunologist, St James's University Hospital, Leeds: "As healthcare professionals the goal of the treatment we recommend is always to try to completely eradicate all symptoms troubling our patients. We know that over half of those with CSU do not find any relief even with up to four times the licensed doses of antihistamines. With over 50% of those participating in this survey reporting that their current treatment is not sufficiently managing their condition, we owe it to our patients to explore new therapies, to find an option that works for those who continue to be affected by their symptoms."
In addition to delays in referral and correct diagnosis, lack of national guidance or prioritisation was also identified as a key challenge faced by those living with CSU and clinicians alike[ii]. As such, the report calls for the introduction of national guidance and development of dedicated regional CSU patient pathways to expedite the diagnosis and treatment of CSU2. Furthermore, the report highlights the important role that GPs with special interest in allergy can play in helping manage these patients[ii].
Dr Nuala Lynch, GP with a special interest (GPwSI) in allergy, Frimley Park Hospital NHS Foundation Trust: "GPwSIs in allergy have a valuable role to play in helping identify and manage patients living with CSU and speed up the referral system for patients that need it. We need to raise GP awareness of CSU and highlight the importance of early detection and appropriate treatment in helping to reduce the emotional distress we've seen in this patient audit."
Urticaria is one of most common reasons people seek the advice of GPs, paediatricians, dermatologists, allergists and emergency medical care[iii]. Despite having no associated mortality, CSU affects patients' quality of life significantly. The dermatology life quality index (DLQI) scoring system shows CSU to have a greater impact on health-related quality of life than other more commonly known chronic dermatological conditions, such as Hansen's disease or alopecia[iv]. One study even suggested that the negative impact of CSU upon a person's life is similar to that seen in coronary artery disease, with patients feeling a similar lack of energy, social isolation and emotional upset[v].
In addition to highlighting strong links to anxiety and social isolation, key findings showed 90% of those surveyed say their sleep is regularly disrupted by the condition[ii], potentially decreasing productivity while at work and nearly a quarter of people living with CSU are forced to miss work at least once a month as a direct result of their symptoms2. Nine out of ten people with the condition report being so significantly affected that they are restricted in fundamental daily activities, such as going to work and sexual relations[ii].
Maureen Jenkins, Director of Clinical Service, Allergy UK: "These new data provide further evidence that the unpredictable nature of CSU has a strong emotional and psychological impact and is associated with a more substantial negative effect on quality of life than other skin diseases. Couple this with the cosmetic disfigurement and embarrassment sometimes caused by CSU and you can see why many patients suffer from anxiety and depression."
Vital statistics: key findings from the Wheals of Despair CSU patient audit[ii]
- Nearly a quarter miss work at least once a month due to their symptoms
- More than half (56%) say that they do not have control over their symptoms
- 9 out of 10 say that their sleep is affected by CSU
- Nearly half (46%) feel like crying at least once a week due to their CSU symptoms
- 48% are unable to take part in usual social activities, with 37% reporting that their sex life is restricted
- Nearly all (90%) say that their CSU symptoms place limitations on their normal physical activity such as sports, hobbies, work and sex
- Over 50% of sufferers have waited over 12 months for a referral to see a specialist
- Over half of sufferers state that their current treatment was not sufficient to manage their symptoms
- 86% of sufferers feel frustrated by their symptoms at least once a week
- 40% of women feel like crying every week because of their CSU symptoms

Crucial points at stake in cup quest Outright win needed over HB
Taranaki's hopes of a Hawke Cup challenge go on the line this weekend.
Taranaki play Hawke's Bay at New Plymouth's Pukekura Park in the final qualifying round of the two-day competition.
The match throws up an intriguing scenario, with both teams requiring an outright win and a first-innings loss by Manawatu in their game against Wairarapa to remain in the hunt for a challenge.
After four rounds, Manawatu have 31 points, a lead of three on closest rivals Hawke's Bay, with Revital Fertilisers Taranaki another four points back. The remaining three teams are out of the running.
On recent form, Taranaki deserve to start favourites following their convincing outright victory against Wanganui, while Hawke's Bay surrendered the competition lead when losing on first innings to Manawatu.
Taranaki, with a net runs per wicket of +16.82, are ahead of any other team, which would come into play if there is a tie on points.
"A lot of things have to go our way, but we've just got to focus on the game," Taranaki coach Kerry O'Neill said yesterday.
"Both teams are chasing an outright so it makes it an interesting scenario this weekend."
Taranaki's selectors have made two changes from the team that beat Wanganui.
Pace bowler Josh Barrett comes in for all-rounder Ryan Watson, who has been named in a national under-19 squad of 24 players to train in Christchurch over the next week.
The other change sees regular spin bowler Andrew Mason back in place of Rob Northcott after missing the past two matches for family reasons.
"We're probably a little bit more bowling focused for this game, as Josh replaces Ryan Watson, who is an all-rounder. But in saying that, apart from the Manawatu debacle, our batting has been pretty good all season," O'Neill said.
Despite the Pukekura Park groundsmen producing a fresh strip, O'Neill wasn't giving away whether they preferred to bat or bowl first.
But if Taranaki are to control the match, it is likely they will be keen to bowl first and make use of any gremlins in the new pitch.
Spearheading the Taranaki attack will be ex-Zimbabwean international Douglas Hondo and Robert McLeod, with change bowlers Barrett and Jamie Watkins offering medium pace options.
Opening the batting for the home side will be former Black Cap Peter Ingram and Central Districts rep Dean Robinson.
Hawke's Bay have made a number of personnel changes.
Driaan Lubbe and Henry Hunter fill the gaps left by Andrew Mathieson and Ajaz Patel, who are on duty with the Central Districts Stags.
Toby Doyle is in for James Mackie, while Scott Schaw replaces Bronson Meehan, who is unavailable.
Meanwhile, the Hawke Cup goes on the line for the first time this summer in Hamilton this weekend when holders Hamilton take on Northern Districts challengers Bay of Plenty.
AT A GLANCE Taranaki v Hawke's Bay Hawke Cup qualifying Today, tomorrow Pukekura Park New Plymouth TARANAKI: Dion Ebrahim (capt), Peter Ingram, Dean Robinson, James McDougall, Tom Bruce, Moritz Hartman, Andrew Mason, Jamie Watkins, Douglas Hondo, Josh Barrett, Jackson Braddock (w/k), Rob McLeod. Coach Kerry O'Neill.

Bone density—also known as bone mineral density or bone mass—is a measurement of the amount of calcium and other minerals present in the bones. It is a main indicator of bone health and structural integrity and is used to estimate the likelihood of future fractures or the development of the progressive disease called osteoporosis. Medical professionals use a number of procedures to accurately measure bone density.
Reasons for Testing
You may receive a bone mineral density test for a number of reasons, including detection of low bone density before you break a bone, prediction of future chances of breaking a bone, confirmation of an osteoporosis diagnosis or monitoring of your body's responses to bone density treatments.
DXA Bone Density Testing
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, the standard way to test your bone density is to measure your spine and hip bones in a procedure called a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). In this test, you will lie down on a table in a special facility while your body is scanned with an X-ray imager that passes overhead. The procedure can be performed while you are fully clothed and typically takes 10 to 15 minutes. During testing, you will be exposed to an amount of radiation roughly equal to one-tenth of that used in most chest X-rays. Your hips and spine are usually checked because they are the bones most at risk for dangerous density changes, but a scan of the radius bone in your forearm may be used as a substitute if necessary.
Understanding Testing Results
Once a DXA test is performed, your results will be measured according to standards established by the World Health Organization. This involves comparing your bone density to that found in an average, healthy 30-year-old adult. The differences between the two densities are measured in a unit called a standard deviation (SD). If you are within 1 SD of the young adult average, your bone density is considered normal. If you are between 1 and 2.5 SDs, you are diagnosed with low bone mass. If your measurement is more than 2.5 SDs from average, you are diagnosed with osteoporosis.
In some circumstances, your bone density may also be measured against others in your specific age group. While this comparison can help reveal certain additional conditions or diseases, it is not used to distinguish osteoporosis.
Additional Testing Procedures
You may also be tested through other methods, including a procedure called a quantitative computed tomography (CT) scan. This technique uses a scanner combined with 3-D imaging software to produce detailed pictures of your bones that can be examined and interpreted by qualified specialists. During the roughly 10-minute test, you will lie down on a table that moves you in and out of the CT machine.
Peripheral bone mineral density testing is a less accurate technique that may be used to determine your need for full testing. This procedure, which measures bone density in your wrists, fingers or heels, is typically performed in a doctor's office or at public health fairs. Consult your doctor for further details of bone density testing.

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Myriad Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:MYGN) today announced new data published in Clinical Cancer Research that showed the myPlan Lung Cancer test is a significant predictor of lung cancer death in patients with early-stage, resectable lung adenocarcinoma and may be a valuable tool for selecting which early-stage patients should be considered for additional post-surgical chemotherapy. "Lung cancer remains one of the most difficult-to-treat cancers. New prognostic markers to guide treatment decisions in early-stage, non-small cell lung cancer are necessary to improve outcomes for patients," said Edward S. Kim, M.D., co-author and chair of the Department of Solid Tumor Oncology and Investigational Therapeutics, Levine Cancer Institute, Carolinas HealthCare System, Charlotte NC. "In this verification study, the 31-gene cell cycle progression score was demonstrated to be a significant prognostic marker in resectable lung adenocarcinoma in that it stratifies patients' risk more effectively than conventional clinical parameters. This new information will further improve our ability to define the most appropriate treatment plan for surgically-treated, lung-cancer patients." The purpose of this study was to investigate the significance of the myPlan Lung Cancer test as a predictor of survival in patients with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma in three independent data sets. The primary endpoint was overall survival as measured by disease related death within five years of surgery. Additionally, the study assessed the prognostic value of the score as compared to the conventional clinical variables of disease progression including age, stage of disease, gender, smoking status and tumor size. The myPlan Lung Cancer test measured mRNA expression levels of 31 cell cycle proliferation genes and 15 housekeeping genes in stage I and II tumor samples from a total of 841 patients. The results showed that myPlan Lung Cancer consistently was the strongest independent predictor of 5-year disease survival and remained the dominant prognostic marker in the presence of conventional clinical variables.

Shauna Moffitt talks with Catch 47
TAMPA – The wife of USF linebacker Ben Moffitt, making her first public appearance since last week's news of their impending divorce, told TV news station Catch 47 on Wednesday night that she wrote papers and took online classes for her husband, but never thought her actions were anything but devotion to her family.
"I did that because Ben and I were a team," Shauna Moffitt told Catch 47's Chris Clark from her Bushnell home. "There wasn't even any planning on it … it's what we did. We were reaching towards a goal together. … It was 'We're a team.' I don't know any good spouse that wouldn't. … We were reaching a goal of completing school, making sure that everything goes as smoothly as possible for the outcome, for a degree, for our future."
Shauna said last week that Ben had abruptly left her and their two young children on Nov. 11, the day after USF's football game at Syracuse. Ben filed for divorce Thursday, and his attorneys took the bitter split to another level Tuesday.
According to Lisa Cullaro, co-counsel for Shauna Moffitt, Ben's attorneys filed a motion in Sumter County court Tuesday seeking full custody of their children. The initial filing had called for shared custody; Moffitt has finished a four-year career at USF and is expected to be selected in April's NFL Draft, where he would have a busy schedule in his first season of pro football. They have a hearing Tuesday before a judge in Sumter County.
His attorney, A.J. Rohe of Tavares, did not return calls Wednesday seeking comment.
In her TV interview, Shauna expressed regret for the story that has developed over the past week, saying she "should never have" sent an e-mail to the Times and Tampa Tribune last week, detailing both the marital problems and the allegations of academic cheating.
The story of Moffitt as a family man who commuted 55 miles each way daily to be with his wife and children was picked up by national media outlets this season, but Shauna told Clark that everything about that story was true until her husband left in November.
"It was all 100 percent true. It was all truth, no fiction. I didn't fabricate. It was what we were," she said.

Christina Aguilera Brings Life's "Hiccups" To 'The Voice'
NBC's new reality singing competition, The Voice, premieres tomorrow night and it might just be the fresh start one of the judges needs.
There's no doubt celebrity judge Christina Aguilera is excited about the show. She's been tweeting about it all month.
However, Aguilera recently went on record with UsMagazine.com about some of the topics her Twitter followers might have been more interested in (think divorce, public intoxication, screwing up the "National Anthem" lyrics, nearly falling off the Grammy stage, etc. and so forth), and even talked about how those "hiccups" might help her – and the show's contestants – as she mentors them alongside fellow judges Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green, and Adam Levine:
I can laugh about my own hiccups and my own experiences in life because I'm getting through it. But I get to share these experiences with these people and I get to say not every performance day is going to be a great day.
I'm actually revealing a lot about myself during this show – a side of myself that I think a lot of people have never seen before, that only my closest friends see when the cameras go off. I just wanted to approach this show very openly. I'm human, too, and people make mistakes and go through things in life and I'm definitely taking that into the show. (UsMagazine.com)
I'm willing to bet that "taking that into the show" will help not only the contestants, who will see Aguilera as more than just a celebrity, but also Aguilera herself.
Can't wait for tomorrow night? Catch a sneak peek of The Voice online and follow @NBCTheVoice on Twitter.

Maxine Waters Reclaiming Her Time Just Became Everyone's New Summer '17 Mantra
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
The Roots drummer, ?uestlove, showed his appreciation for jazz, soul and funk composer Roy Ayers by participating in an upcoming documentary, The Roy Ayers Project. The bio-doc explores the musical legacy of Ayers through interviews from the people he's had the most influence over.
Most known for innovation in R&B and disco music during the 70s, Ayers is one of the most sampled artists in either genre. Most notably, his "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" has been sampled numerous times, especially in hip hop, including 2Pac's "Lost Souls," Mary J. Blige's "My Life," and Common's "Book of Life." In the 80s Ayers also notably collaborated with Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti on the Music of Many Colors LP and by the 90s was on to brokering the merger between hip hop and Jazz, appearing on Guru's Jazzmatazz album in 1993.
In a trailer for the film, the drummer for the hip hop and soul band The Roots calls Ayers "the Godfather of progressive hip hop."
The documentary, just one element of a larger multi-media project, is slated for release in 2012.

Known Issues by Severity
|Known Issue
|NI 2833 and NI 2834 user-specified settling times result in Disconnect All timeout error.
When using user-specified settling times with the NI 2833 and NI 2834, Disconnect All for NI-DAQmx and NI-SWITCH returns a timeout error. This error is not present if the default settling times are used.
Workaround: There are several workarounds:
- Use LabVIEW timers for additional settling time.
- Use NI-DAQmx Reset instead of Disconnect All. This reverts the settling time back to the default value. Using NI-SWITCH Reset still results in error.
- Set the settling time back to the default value before calling Disconnect All.
|NI 2833 and NI 2834 have long wait-for-settle times.
The NI 2833 and NI 2834 wait for settle even when the user does not specify a wait-for-settle time. This is especially evident when the user configures a large wait-for-settle time. Also, the algorithm used to determine how long to wait for settle for the NI 2833 and NI 2834 is incorrect. Users will notice that the wait-for-settle algorithm returns later than expected.
Workaround: None.
|SCXI-1127 (Rev D and earlier) continuously drives the TTL1 trigger line on the SCXI backplane.
Continuously driving the TTL1 trigger line on the SCXI backplane does not allow bus sharing of TTL1 with other SCXI modules. NI-SWITCH returns an error if an SCXI-1127 is in the chassis and if TTL1 is being used for scanning. If using the NI-DAQmx driver for your SCXI system, you get a resource reservation error if you try to perform a switching or signal conditioning operation that requires use of TTL1.
Workaround: None.
|There are known DLL collision issues with the Microsoft Visual Basic debugger and a National Instruments device driver using Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy).
A support DLL used by NI-SWITCH fails to load if Visual Basic has already loaded another DLL into the same address space.
Workaround: To change the default address that is used to load the driver DLL, create the following registry key:
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\NI-PAL\CurrentVersion\palConfig\Memory\sharedFixedAddress
where the value is a DWORD (0x44000000 generally works). For the change to take effect, you must close and restart all applications after adding the registry key.
|The MAX "Configure" button is inaccurately labeled with its former name, "Properties" in the NI Switches Getting Started Guide.
The NI Switches Getting Started Guide has not been updated with the new button name.
Workaround: None.

Removal & Installation
- Locate the oil pressure sending unit on the engine.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Disconnect the sending unit electrical harness.
- Using a pressure switch socket, deep-well socket or wrench, loosen and remove the sending unit from the engine.
To install:
- Install the sending unit in the vehicle and tighten securely.
Attach the electrical connector to the sending unit.
NOTEThe Powertrain Control Module (PCM) idle memory must be reset after reconnecting the battery. Start the engine and hold it at 3000 rpm until the cooling fan comes on. Then allow the engine to idle for about five minutes with all accessories OFF and with the transmission in Park or Neutral.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
- Start the engine, allow it to reach operating temperature and check for leaks.
- Check for proper sending unit operation.
The low oil pressure warning lamp will illuminate when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position without the engine running. The lamp also illuminates if the engine oil pressure drops below a safe oil pressure level. To test the system, perform the following:
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- If the lamp does not light, check for a broken or disconnected wire around the engine and oil pressure sending unit switch.
- If the wire at the connector checks out OK, pull the connector loose from the switch and, with a jumper wire, ground the connector to the engine.
- With the ignition switch turned to the ON position, check the warning lamp. If the lamp still fails to light, check for a burned out lamp or disconnected socket in the instrument cluster.

Construction delays at Denver International Airport have grounded a key DIA side project: the "Air Train," the city's sole attempt at providing efficient mass transit to the distant facility.
"Definitely the fact that we've rescheduled the [airport] opening has put the Air Train on the back burner," says Mike Dino, an assistant to Denver mayor Wellington Webb.
The $140 million Air Train was designed to alleviate concerns about long travel times and expensive cab fares to DIA--and, theoretically, to help limit air pollution generated by vehicle trips to and from the airport. But though a $500,000, fifteen-month-long study of the rail link from Union Station is due to be made public any day now, the city for now seems more committed to studying the project than actually building it.
Earlier this year, in fact, Denver backed away from a rare opportunity to apply for federal funding for the Air Train when the Regional Transportation District complained that such a request would interfere with its own bid to bankroll an electrified light-rail line to Littleton and Highlands Ranch. Last week RTD asked Congress for $117 million to extend its MAC line (scheduled to open in the fall from Five Points to the intersection of I-25 and Broadway) along the South Santa Fe Drive corridor.
The city's pullout came amid growing friction between Denver and RTD. The city wants diesel-powered trains on existing "heavy rail" tracks of the Union Pacific Railroad. RTD planners prefer an electrified system that's more expensive--$330 million to $400 million--but fits better with their plans for a light-rail network in the metro area.
The city and RTD downplay the tug- of-war. But the wrangling hasn't done wonders for the Air Train. Last January, in an attempt to reassure federal officials, Mayor Webb sent a letter to Transportation Secretary and DIA godfather Federico Pena denying what he described as "various reports" that the city had derailed the idea.
But the city still hasn't figured out how to pay for it. In a January 1993 letter to Lou Mraz, regional administrator for the Federal Transit Administration, Webb said Denver intended to pursue "a variety of sources of funding," but promised to avoid competing with RTD for so-called "Section 3" funds used for new rapid transit projects.
A year later, the city changed gears and began talking about asking for Section 3 funds anyway. "We were going, `Wait a minute, you said you wouldn't do that,'" recalls RTD planner Dave Baskett. After RTD complained, the city backed off--again leaving the Air Train in financial limbo.
Not that the city isn't spending money on the project. Even though Pena is the federal transit czar, Denver has hired the lobbying firm of Linton, Mields, Reisler and Cottone, with offices in Denver and Washington, D.C., to drum up support. The city also helped pay for the feasibility study, which planners expect to unveil in the next few days. But Dino says that, more than a year after the study began, he still can't discuss funding sources. The reason: "We're trying to get the airport open."
In the past, the city has even talked about asking the Federal Aviation Administration for construction dollars. But the beleaguered FAA, says Dave Baskett, "has enough problems spending its money on what it has traditionally been used for"--among other things, helping foot the bill for DIA itself.
The city also is considering imposing parking surcharges and vehicle access fees at DIA to generate local matching funds--a politically risky proposition for an airport whose soaring costs already have guaranteed that the public will pay more for airline tickets.
RTD has other reasons for questioning the city's proposal. "If we had light rail going to downtown Denver and the suburbs and then at Union Station people had to get off, unload their luggage and get on a different technology, is that the most convenient way?" asks RTD spokesman Andrew Hudson.
RTD is "a transit agency, not an airport-access agency," adds Baskett, and the Air Train's goal of serving only DIA passengers doesn't mesh with an overall urban-transit strategy. "I guess we'd like RTD to be somewhat more supportive of commuter rail," says Dino. "Not only from downtown to DIA, but throughout the rest of the region." And despite its griping about heavy rail's cost, RTD can't afford to build light rail to the airport for now. In a time of government cutbacks and increasing competition for federal transportation dollars, the agency will have its hands full funding its southwest corridor line.
Aside from the political currents surrounding it, the Air Train has encountered little turbulence. The soon-to-be-released environmental assessment apparently has turned up no red flags, and the Union Pacific already has absorbed the cost of engineering studies.
The railroad is gung-ho for heavy rail, says Larry Smith, UP manager of commuter-rail operations. In addition to the whole system's costing roughly $200 million less, he says, diesel trains could reach speeds of 79 miles per hour compared with 55 for light-rail. And under RTD's plan, airport trains would make numerous stops. Heavy-rail trains--which the UP wants to operate for the city--would make just two intermediate stops.

City planner Terry Rosapep, who has spent months working on the Air Train, says he "doesn't feel that bad" about the city's decision not to bid for the Section 3 money in January. "We hadn't expected to submit it that early anyway," he says.
But frustration is mounting as the public, apparently uninspired by a recent RTD announcement that it plans to run express buses to the new airport from various metro-area locations, watches the Air Train languish in political obscurity.
Says Rosapep, "The biggest criticism we usually get at public meetings is, `Why are you studying this now? You ought to be building it now.'

Sally Hansen 18 Hour Lip Treatment
Sally Hansen 18 Hour Lip Treatment Reviews
18 hours? Not even close!This lip "treatment" looked pretty in the tube, and I was thrilled with the look when I first applied it. However, the gloss started to slightly irritate my lips after about half an hour, and this lead to uncomfortable dryness by the one-hour mark - even some peeling! I tried it again a few more times with the same result. This stuff doesn't last, and can lead to chapped lips. — 8 years, 8 months agoamygab1126 | 242 reviews
18 Hours?I like the fact that this lipgloss comes in so many colors and it's not too sticky. But, they should call it the "1 hour lip treatment" because it doesn't even come close to lasting 18 hours. I wore it to work and had to reapply it an hour later. — 7 years, 4 months agoGeekyChic | 226 reviews
False AdvertisingI got this lip gloss in two lovely colors, Clear Whisper and Clear Optimistic Opal, which have just the right amount of shimmer to make them look pretty, not childish. Not much color dispenses from the wand, so I find myself repeatedly dipping for the right amount of gloss I need to fill my lips. And it definetely doesn't live up to it's claim that it lasts 18 hours, more like 18 minutes. I would have to give it a 7 for the lovely color, not for anything else. — 8 years, 5 months agoKatatonia | 191 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Political newbie and Democrat Clare Ross stepped into Alaska's political arena last week with her official announcement to challenge Anchorage state Rep. Lindsey Holmes in the 2014 election.
Ross announced her official filing for candidacy on Wednesday for House District 19, encompassing the Anchorage neighborhoods of Sand Lake, Spenard and Turnagain Arm. She will be running against Holmes, formerly a Democrat, who switched to the Republican Party days before the legislative session began in January.
"When Lindsey switched parties this year, I was really frustrated, but I didn't think I'd be the one to go up against her," Ross said.
While Ross had voted for Holmes in the past and supported her work, Holmes' votes against an education amendment, and in favor of Parnell's oil tax cuts, were "two issues that I felt she switched on," Ross said.
A month ago, a friend mentioned that Ross should run for State House. She balked at first, but then thought, "You know what, I'm what Alaska needs right now."
Ross, 35, is originally from Seattle. She first ventured to Alaska in 1996, working for Gray Line in Skagway during her college summers. "Each summer a couple more people would stay for the winter," she said.
In 1999, as she got set to graduate with a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology degree from Reed College in Portland, she realized she wanted to follow suit, and decided to move to Alaska.
Ross drove up to Seward that year, where she worked for a sport-fishing company and cannery, before moving to Palmer to work for the USDA researching plant virology. She wound up in Anchorage in 2002, where she worked at the Alaska Center for the Environment for 6 years before heading to the Anchorage Public Library to work as the development director.
Ross and her husband Chad have lived in the neighborhood of Sand Lake for the past five years. She described herself as well-connected but un-entrenched in the political scene. She wants to "start a new conversation in Juneau," but says she is still figuring out her exact platform.
Some of that platform will be constructed in the next few weeks, as Ross heads door-to-door to figure out what her neighbors' biggest concerns are. She has just started on the long campaign trail ahead, with a handful of volunteers enlisted to help her, but so far lacks the appropriate bank account to assemble a war chest.
Ross' work with the Anchorage Public Library includes fundraising, though, so she'll "hit the ground running" once everything is in place, she said.
She has received an endorsement from former Anchorage School Superintendent Carol Comeau, who said in Wednesday's press release, "Clare is a champion of our youth and cares about quality schools, so our children can achieve their dreams and help Alaska remain competitive in a digital economy."
Ross said the "old guard," long-time political incumbents, are unaware of the young professionals who are working across Alaska to shift the state's economic and political landscape.
Her announcement harkens back to another political shakeup by political unknown Nick Moe, who challenged Anchorage Assembly member Ernie Hall and narrowly lost a write-in campaign that was thrown together on short notice after Hall cut off testimony on a controversial ordinance designed to limit the power of labor unions that do work for Alaska's largest city.
"Hopefully I'm part of a growing trend," Ross said.

BROOKSVILLE — George Young spent weeks readying for his trip back to Kentucky. He and his wife, JoAnn, rummaged through their RV, packing belongings into boxes. Things that didn't make the trip were ticketed for a garage sale.
After 15 winters at Brentwood Lake Camping, the Youngs were leaving, never to return. With the campground under new ownership, big changes are on the way that the couple and many of their seasonal neighbors fear this will kill the kindred spirit of the sleepy little RV park tucked away in the woods north Brooksville off of U.S. 41.
Gone, they say, will be the friendly morning gatherings under an old oak tree at the "Liar's Corner," where a steaming urn of coffee always welcomed conversations on sports, politics and other news of the day. Gone, too, will be a community where neighbors helped each other patch roofs and fix broken plumbing and regularly gathered for potluck suppers and to sing hymns.
For the Youngs and their fellow snowbird campers, Brentwood has been an affordable slice of heaven where even a fixed income was enough to make life comfortable. But George Young is convinced all that is about to disappear.
Brentwood is set to become Belle Parc, an upscale RV vacation resort catering to owners of big-dollar camping rigs. Though new owner Jim Trefz says it is not his intention to drive longtime customers away, improvements were needed in order to make his investment financially viable.
For current residents, that is little consolation.
"I don't quarrel with anyone wanting to make money. That's their right. But the way the are treating people is wrong," the 77-year-old Young said recently as he sank into a lawn chair next to his 33-foot trailer. "This campground has been a big part of a lot of people's lives.''
Trefz is a partner in HTH Development, the company that bought the park on Feb. 1 from Laine and Elaine Brayko, whose family had run Brentwood since it opened in the 1960s.
He agrees that the 5.7-acre site nestled in a dense hammock of oak and hickory trees has a lot of charm. But a lack of maintenance and a lax attitude toward appearance was a turnoff for many potential visitors.
"As nice a location as it is, there is a trailer park feel to it," Trefz said. "People with nice RVs would come through and see all the shabby RVs laying around and turn right around and leave. We felt we had to make some changes."
Plans for the campground include upgrades to sewer and electric service, plus additional amenities such as a new recreational room.
The 100-site campground also will become more exclusive. Beginning next year, RVs more than 12 years old will not be permitted at the park.
Young, who owns a 22-year-old park model trailer that he says is in excellent condition, feels the rule favors wealthy RV owners at the expense of longtime seasonal residents such as himself. "It's not fair to anyone who works hard to keep their RV up," Young said. "He just wants us out of here."
Trefz disagrees, saying that the age limitations have been a standard in the RV park industry for some time.
Another contentious point has been Trefz's intention to move vacant RVs into storage during the summer months when their seasonal owners are away. Trefz says he needs them moved in order to complete upgrades on the electric and sewer system.
Perhaps the biggest sore spot is the announcement that rents will increase between $50 to $70 a month next year, a move that many of the park's seasonal residents say will drive them out.
Irene and Charles, who have been wintering at Brentwood for years, said such a jump from their present rent of $280 a month would stretch their finances to the breaking point.
"That's a lot of money to people on fixed incomes or disabled," said Charles Payne, who said the couple will have to sell their RV. "It's going to be tough on a lot of people here."
Trefz said that he is sympathetic to his older customers and says he will help where he can, including providing assistance in getting their RVs ready to be put into storage.
"I'm willing to work with them," he said. "But at the same time they need to know that a lot of what I'm doing will benefit them. They're going to see a lot of improvements that will make living here much nicer."
Bernie Poole, who has been living at Brentwood since the early 1980s said he has no doubts that the campground will be very nice once renovations are complete. Nonetheless, the 68-year-old can't help feeling that something special will be lost.
"These people have been like a family to one another," said Poole, peering out from beneath a well-worn cap. "They've shared good times and bad times together. But that's the way it is with progress. With everything you gain, you're bound to lose something."

Galaxies are like people. The better you get to know them the more peculiar they often seem to become. Each individual galaxy may be thought of as representing a deviation from some underlying ideal type. ``Classical morphology is useful because it succeeds to some extent in distinguishing galaxies which are physically different'' (Kormendy 1982, p. 125). It is the task of a galaxy morphologist (1) to recognize the archetype to which a galaxy belongs, and (2) to organize these archetypes of galaxies into a simple scheme that might eventually be interpreted in terms of galactic evolution. This review is mainly devoted to the morphology and classification of normal galaxies, which may be regarded as objects that are in the ``ground state'' (Ozernoy 1974). Galaxies in excited states, such as quasars and Seyfert galaxies, will not be discussed in detail. Furthermore no mention will be made of purely descriptive classification systems such as those of Wolf (1908) and of Vorontsov-Velyaminov & Krasnogorskaja (1962). For a more detailed discussion of such systems the reader is referred to Sandage (1975). An Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, that appear to fall outside the range of morphological types that are usually encountered among galaxies, has been published by Arp (1966). The vast majority of objects pictured in Arp's atlas appear peculiar because they are interacting (or have recently interacted) with their companions. However, some objects in Arp's catalog are dwarfs that are not peculiar at all (e.g. Atlas Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5). Such dwarfs were probably included only because late-type dwarf galaxies generally look patchier, and hence more chaotic, than more luminous galaxies. Furthermore such dwarfs are rare (and therefore unfamiliar to many of us) in galaxy samples that have been selected by apparent magnitude.
For an excellent introduction to the beauty and variety of galaxy morphology the reader is referred to The Color Atlas of Galaxies (Wray 1988) which shows how dust, old red stars, and young blue stars, are distributed in different types of galaxies.


text: Symptoms and causes By Mayo Clinic Staff Print SymptomsSome people with ADHD have fewer symptoms as they age, but some adults continue to have major symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. In adults, the main features of ADHD may include difficulty paying attention, impulsiveness and restlessness. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. Many adults with ADHD aren't aware they have it — they just know that everyday tasks can be a challenge. Adults with ADHD may find it difficult to focus and prioritize, leading to missed deadlines and forgotten meetings or social plans. The inability to control impulses can range from impatience waiting in line or driving in traffic to mood swings and outbursts of anger. Adult ADHD symptoms may include: Impulsiveness Disorganization and problems prioritizing Poor time management skills Problems focusing on a task Trouble multitasking Excessive activity or restlessness Poor planning Low frustration tolerance Frequent mood swings Problems following through and completing tasks Hot temper Trouble coping with stress What's normal and what's ADHD? Almost everyone has some symptoms similar to ADHD at some point in their lives. If your difficulties are recent or occurred only occasionally in the past, you probably don't have ADHD. ADHD is diagnosed only when symptoms are severe enough to cause ongoing problems in more than one area of your life. These persistent and disruptive symptoms can be traced back to early childhood. Diagnosis of ADHD in adults can be difficult because certain ADHD symptoms are similar to those caused by other conditions, such as anxiety or mood disorders. And many adults with ADHD also have at least one other mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety. When to see a doctor If any of the symptoms listed above continually disrupt your life, talk to your doctor about whether you might have ADHD. Different types of health care professionals may diagnose and supervise treatment for ADHD. Seek a provider who has training and experience in caring for adults with ADHD. CausesWhile the exact cause of ADHD is not clear, research efforts continue. Factors that may be involved in the development of ADHD include: Genetics. ADHD can run in families, and studies indicate that genes may play a role. Environment. Certain environmental factors also may increase risk, such as lead exposure as a child. Problems during development. Problems with the central nervous system at key moments in development may play a role. Risk factorsRisk of ADHD may increase if: You have blood relatives, such as a parent or sibling, with ADHD or another mental health disorder Your mother smoked, drank alcohol or used drugs during pregnancy As a child, you were exposed to environmental toxins — such as lead, found mainly in paint and pipes in older buildings You were born prematurely ComplicationsADHD can make life difficult for you. ADHD has been linked to: Poor school or work performance Unemployment Trouble with the law Alcohol or other substance abuse Frequent car accidents or other accidents Unstable relationships Poor physical and mental health Poor self-image Suicide attempts Coexisting conditions Although ADHD doesn't cause other psychological or developmental problems, other disorders often occur along with ADHD and make treatment more challenging. These include: Mood disorders. Many adults with ADHD also have depression, bipolar disorder or another mood disorder. While mood problems aren't necessarily due directly to ADHD, a repeated pattern of failures and frustrations due to ADHD can worsen depression. Anxiety disorders. Anxiety disorders occur fairly often in adults with ADHD. Anxiety disorders may cause overwhelming worry, nervousness and other symptoms. Anxiety can be made worse by the challenges and setbacks caused by ADHD. Other psychiatric disorders. Adults with ADHD are at increased risk of other psychiatric disorders, such as personality disorders, intermittent explosive disorder and substance abuse. Learning disabilities. Adults with ADHD may score lower on academic testing than would be expected for their age, intelligence and education. Learning disabilities can include problems with understanding and communicating.

The starting point has assault rifles, auto shotguns, and hunting rifles. Past the door, go up the stairwell and down the long hallway. Almost before the end of this hallway, turn left to an open elevator doorway. Shoot open the grating near this doorway, and crouch through it onto the walkways in the elevator shaft area. Climb up two ladders to reach the rooftops.
On the rooftops, drop down carefully onto the lower sections. Across from the long ramp connecting to the helipad, enter the security room.
Time for a defense point, at the security room. There are weapons, ammo, and a red cabinet here. There is also a minigun on the roof above the security room. Use the radio on the table to call for a news helicopter. While waiting for it, kill the incoming waves of infected, including two or so tanks. For an easier time, stick together inside the room, shooting through the windows and doorways. Due to the layout of the rooftops, this is one of the few areas where the survivors may want to stay indoors instead of running outside, lest they get knocked off the rooftops. (In the campaign mode, the survivors can also bunch up inside the respawn closet in the room for a far easier time.)
When the news helicopter pulls to a complete stop beside the outer edges of the helipad, leave the security room, mount up the long ramp, and hurry straight across the helipad to reach it. The actual escape point is the cabin of the vehicle. Beware of any additional tanks, who can still knock the survivors out the open sides of the helicopter.

The closer I'm getting towards my due date, the more I am freaking out.
Even though I had a natural labor with my oldest, I still feel like IDK what to expect this time around. I forgot the pain, the feelings.. etc.
I'm also even more scared to have TWO children.
Silly, I know but my nerves are a wreck today.
Is this feeling normal?
100% normal!
I remember feeling just like that.
Don't be hard on yourself, I think a lot of women do.
The closer I get I'm feeling the same way! I'm afraid I'll not know when I go into labor, and I'm also freaking out about having 3 children. I would say it's normal. I know once it starts happening it will all come natural just like it did before.. I'm still very nervous though!
totally normal... it will take some time to adjust with 2 but 2 is very managable!


text: Hello, SciPy, Could you, please, explain me, what is the most standard way in NumPy to calculate a dot product of two arrays of vectors, like in MatLab? For example, consider two numpy arrays of vectors: a = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]) b = np.array([[3, 2, 1], [6, 5, 4]]) For the cross product we have convenient function numpy.cross: >>> np.cross(a, b) array([[ -4, 8, -4], [-10, 20, -10]]) But the numpy.dot product for the arrays of vectors do the matrix multiplication: >>> np.dot(a, b) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: objects are not aligned Yes, I can emulate the dot product code like: np.sum(a * b, axis = 1).reshape(-1, 1) but may be there is exist more standard way to do the dot product?

Russia is ahead of schedule with its plans for hosting the 2018 World Cup, FIFA president Sepp Blatter said Saturday.
In 2010, Russia beat a bid from England and two joint bids, one from Portugal and Spain, the other from Belgium and the Netherlands, to host the World Cup.
The 11 host cities are to be announced Saturday.
"We are far away from our program because you are much more advanced," Blatter said in televised comments.
He praised President Vladimir Putin and the Russian parliament, the Duma, for their support.
"I am convinced that it will be a great success because not only the people and youth here are behind it, but also the president, the Duma [Russia's parliament], the local organizing committee, the local footballers here, all footballers, they are behind this World Cup."
"It must be a big success."
Moscow is to host the final in the vast Luzhniki stadium with the other venues spread across Russia's European territory.

The Paper Kites, Patrick James, The Phoncurves @ Alhambra Lounge, Brisbane (20/07/2012)
Friday 20th July, 2012 is the last show of The Paper Kites' Heavy Rein tour. The show is sold out, the line outside stretching the whole block.
Inside, there is a relaxed atmosphere. There's a bustle of voices, clinking glasses and lamps and candles lighting the room. The Phoncurves provide music to start the night. The female duo are a quirky pair. They are soft and melodic, with sweet voices humming 'do's' and 'ahh's' as the crowd fills the room.
Patrick James and his band have a similar folk/acoustic sound to The Paper Kites. Their set is completed with three part harmonies, a beret and a banjo. The band is all males, which works especially well in their third song Stay where they sing in unison, finishing the song with a line from Bon Iver's For Emma. In Shine they invite Christina Lacy from The Paper Kites up to sing a duo with Patrick.
The Paper Kites have filled the club with a crowd by the time they enter. They start their set with the familiar strums of their track Featherstone. In the quieter moments, you can hear the crowd singing along to their reminiscent lyrics. Frontman Sam Bentley has a certain unique and beautiful quality in his voice. Bar a few songs, their set is almost completely new material – songs from their upcoming EP Young North. Though the crowd does not know the new songs, they are full attention to the group as they perform. Their songs are like lullabies, each as captivating as the one before. A stand-out track was a new song that Sam explained was about his Grandpa Joe who built a house for his wife. The song explores the feelings of living in that house alone after her passing, and is performed with honest emotion. The interaction with the crowd is courteous. At one stage, Sam orders a beer from the bar as he stands on the stage. The beer is passed forward until it reaches him and the crowd breaks out in applause. When the band perform Bloom, Alhambra falls silent. The song is romantic and delicate and full of love. His voice is ambient and echoes across the crowd, as they stand still, their eyes fixed forward and captured in the music. The woman next to me who walked down the isle to the song smiles in excitement. The next song, Paint, is brilliant. Written about Sam writing on the roof with invisible paint in a previous relationship, it tells tales about moving on, but the reminders left of those before. The encore is a cover of Feist's Comfort Me.
The whole night feels magical. With such wonder, The Paper Kites performance is truly fairytale material.

Kean could be Rovers boss 'forever'
Steve Kean has been told he could be the Blackburn Rovers manager "forever'' by the club's new owners.
• Rovers reject transfer rumours
• Blackburn in for Maradona
• Premachandran: Indian signs not good
• Kean to get Rovers chance
• Nelsen 'devastated' by news
• Forum: Another sacking this Christmas?
The Scot has been placed in temporary charge of first-team affairs following the surprise sacking of Sam Allardyce earlier this week.
Venky's, the Indian firm which recently bought Rovers, are now beginning their search for a new manager but say the job is Kean's to lose and plan to let the 43-year-old influence January's transfer policy.
The company's owner Anuradha Desai told Sky Sports News: "We are not making any choices now and when the time comes we will give Steve two to three months to prove his mettle.
"Suppose he turns out to be good, then he continues as the manager - it is as simple as that. The option is open for Steve, it is very clear. He has been given the time and if he does well and proves himself, there is no doubt in our mind he would be the manager forever, then.
"Then we will not look at anybody.We will be keeping our options open but if he does prove himself to be good, which we are hoping he will, then he is the manager for a long time to come.''
Desai refused to be drawn on Kean's long-term job prospects when asked in an earlier interview with BBC Radio Five Live.
Indeed the numerous media interviews given have created confusion over the situation at Rovers but this latest strong backing for Kean suggests he is likely to be given an extended trial at the helm.
Venky's, who paid £43million to take control at Rovers, have previously expressed a preference to appoint a British manager but warned the process would be a thorough and lengthy one.
With Blackburn 13th in the Premier League, it could be a good opportunity for Kean to prove his managerial credentials.
The former Celtic player was brought to Ewood Park as first-team coach by Allardyce last year and turned down the chance to take over as manager at Kilmarnock in the summer to stay with Rovers.
He has earned a good reputation in coaching after spells at Reading and with Chris Coleman at Fulham, Real Sociedad and Coventry.
Desai has also insisted Swiss-based sports agency Kentaro will not be exclusively conducting transfers on their behalf.
She said: "As for Kentaro, they introduced us to the club in August and continue to advise us, but we are talking to a lot of people and we certainly don't have an exclusive deal with them. All our transfers don't have to go through them.''
Another rumour quashed is that linking Argentina legend Diego Maradona with the managerial vacancy.
Desai said: "He is not being considered, not now and forever for the future. I can assure you there is nothing we are having to do with Maradona.''

Hot Gossip Romance Report: Madonna Finds Jesus -- Again
Looks like Madonna is seeking solace from her adoption woes with the twin comforts of her religion and her boy toy. Disproving recent reports that she had ditched dewy Brazilian model Jesus Luz, the Big M, 50, stepped out with the 22-year-old looker in New York City on Wednesday night. The London Sun says they began their evening at the Kabbalah Center before moving on to dinner at an Italian eatery. No word on whether Madonna was celebrating her reported purchase of a $40 million Manhattan townhouse, which features 13 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms and the relaxing rumble of a nearby subway line.
In other reunion news, Evan Rachel Wood confirms she's back with Marilyn Manson, a man who once rhapsodized how she's "my double, my twin ... and someone who I'd want to fornicate with." In an underwear- and gun-filled spread for GQ magazine, the actress, 21, reveals she's reunited with the whey-faced rocker, 40, after "taking some time" apart. The comeliness-mismatched pair stuck a fork in their two-year relationship last November, about six months after they inked on matching heart tattoos. As for those rumors involving her "Wrestler" co-star Mickey Rourke, Wood reiterates that they were so much hooey. "There was no truth to it, and it was so annoying," she gripes to the mag. "The friendship was intimate and nice, and this makes it weird."
Meanwhile, Pink and Carey Hart's recent reconciliation may lead them to reaffirm their commitment to stay together until one of them drops dead. In Touch claims the back-on couple, who parted ways in early 2008, two years after saying "I do" on a beach in Costa Rica, are thinking about renewing their vows. "They want to have a ceremony at their house in Malibu on the beach at sunset," says an insider. "It will take place in early summer and will be very simple and small, with just their family and a few close friends."
Speaking of weddings, we can now add one more item to our long list of reasons why we have a major girl-crush on Salma Hayek. Seems the actress is much too sensible to shell out a boatload of cash to retie the knot with moneybags French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault, whom she swapped low-key vows with during a Valentine's Day ceremony at City Hall in Paris. "I think a wedding is about love, friends, family and fun," Salma tells People magazine of rumors she's tossing a $2 million nuptial extravaganza later this month. "I think spending millions of dollars on a wedding is ridiculous and it has never been my dream." Scoffs Hayek, who welcomed daughter Valentina with Pinault in 2007, "I would never do that."
And finally, Ashley Tisdale is unloading plenty of emotional baggage as she promotes her new breakup song, "It's Alright, It's OK." "It's about how the guy cheats on me and that it's all right, it's okay, you're gonna move on," the "High School Musical" grad explains to Radio Disney. Tisdale, 23, who recently split from Jared Murillo, her beau of two years, admits she's not unfamiliar with boy troubles. "I guess I have [some] trust issues," she confesses, "because I have been cheated on in the past." But is Ashley working through some of those issues with her music-video director Scott Speer, who was recently snapped picking her up at the airport with flowers? "I'm not in a relationship. I'm single but he's a good friend of mine," the Tiz coyly tells E!'s "Daily 10." "He's a really hot, good friend of mine."
