Paul Brayton created the Brayton International Collection in 1973 (borrowing money from a local banker with only a handshake to seal the deal), and has come full circle almost 40 years later. Brayton recently announced the launch of a new company, Paul Brayton Designs Furniture, which will bring high-end European and U.S. furniture designs, hand-crafted in the USA, to the contract and hospitality markets. The official launch for the Paul Brayton Designs Furniture Collection will be at NeoCon in Chicago, Ill. on June 13, 2011.
Many milestones have been reached in Paul Brayton's long career. The Brayton International Collection name was later simplified to Brayton International and Steelcase purchased the company in 1987 to provide lounge products to the Steelcase dealer network. Paul Brayton was appointed as the president and CEO of the Steelcase Design Partnership in 1991, overseeing all of the companies that had been purchased by Steelcase (Brayton International, Vecta Contract [later simplified to Vecta], Metropolitan Furniture Company [later called Metro], Atelier International, Design Tex Fabrics, Details and Stow Davis). Brayton International, now known as Coalesse, has shifted its focus. This has created a new need in the market. Mr. Brayton will use his unique perspective and experience with the launch of the Paul Brayton Designs Furniture Collection.
Prior to creating the Brayton International Collection Mr. Brayton. worked in the office furniture industry with Lehigh Leopold and in 1971 he founded L. Paul Brayton, Ltd., a manufacturer of contemporary accessories and lighting. Since the early days of his career Mr. Brayton has been attending NeoCon (even before it was called NeoCon) and he's pleased to be back again this year with his new venture.
All of Mr. Brayton's success and experience led him to strike out on his own again in 1993. He left Steelcase behind to start Paul Brayton Designs, a successful and award-winning textile company. He has always been dedicated to creating original textile designs and producing them in the United States. Paul Brayton Designs' textile and leather collections focus specifically on the hospitality, healthcare and contract markets. PBD offers an extensive selection of fabric, leather and faux leather collections. Many of these collections offer recyclable and sustainable textiles, furthering Mr. Brayton's commitment to environmentally friendly processes.
Paul Brayton Designs textile and leather collections are graded in with some of the finest contract, hospitality and healthcare furniture manufacturers including Cabot Wrenn, Carolina Business Furniture, Cartwright, DarRan Seating, David Edward, Legacy Furniture, Patrician Furniture, Segis, Source International and Woeller Group. PBD has representation in all 50 states and in nine countries worldwide.
Mr. Brayton has received many accolades over the years including an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from Kendall College of Art and Design, the Distinguished Star Award by the Institute of Business Designers for outstanding contributions in the interior design industry, and numerous furniture and textile design awards.
Paul Brayton's long and successful career has made him one of the most interesting in the contract and hospitality industries to date. His tenure gives him a unique perspective on these markets as he is poised to become a major player, yet again, in the high-end contract furniture market. Paul Brayton Designs Furniture expects to provide one hundred new jobs within the first year of operation. The furniture will be manufactured exclusively in the North Carolina Triad area, utilizing eco-friendly processes.

Screw it, Danilo Gallinari.
It's a reach, but I'll take a few risks with the rooks this late, you never know. And I feel I can already compete with the squad I got.
Columbus you're up.
PS: My original list to Jose had Dampier first, but I decided to back out at the last minute. That's twice now the poor guys almost been called to the podium, only to be sent back to the green room.

ESP is an invaluable tool for marketers. Think about it: with extrasensory perception giving you the ability to just know what customers are going to do at any given moment … you'd be unstoppable.
Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on whether you count yourself among the psychically gifted), that's not quite what I'm talking about in this post. This kind of ESP is a different kind of tool, and it's accessible even to those who weren't born atop a Ouija board under a full moon.
Despite that, an email service provider (ESP) can allow you to accomplish feats of marketing that verge on the uncanny. Use your ESP well, and your leads may find themselves wondering just how you've managed to be so in tune with their interests.
We'll explore some of that in a little bit. But first, let's look at a few questions new entrepreneurs and marketers tend to have about ESPs when they're first starting out.
What Is an ESP Exactly? What Does It Do?
Also called an email marketing service, an email service provider allows you to do (at minimum) 2 main things:

Either I just had a five minute blackout, or there was a thread on the first page pointing to an unpaid intern ad.
Hm. My internet is spotty lately.
Miles....you want one of me Just in my Ascot? Flipping thru my pictures wondering hum...I might get in trouble for that one. Damn is it tough to be an intellectual Porn Star. I actually have a bull dog neck so ties are wrapped around my neck for funerals, weddings, and very well paying clients. I feel like I'm being strangled in a tie, actually I'm being strangled. I have had clients laugh at me when they see me in a tie, cause it is not so me. Which is good because you know you have a good relationship with them.
Hope the pup is feeling better. I have been there with our big guy and it was one of the hardest days of my life....you really know things are out of your control.
I was looking at Moriyuki Ochial Architects, Arkhe Beauty Salon. Thinking this is a fun solution, probably not that expensive, but certainly a difficult install and not one to be drawn on paper.
Are the Feds still on furlough? I have had lots of thoughts about this, but today was install a sliding barn door on a Barn, so missed all the news. Yo ho....was a great Fall Day spent with two excellent craftsman, who are down to earth and one pumped up client who didn't think the color matched the existing barn color. Then she bitched about us not using the right paint company....which turned out we used the person who she recommended. Oh will panties in a bunch, how is one to match the side of a barn that been in the sun for six years on the sunny side of the barn, where everything is faded. I told her it is time to paint the barn, so she can match the barn door. She said she wanted it lighter. I said in time it will get lighter due to the fact that the sun is pounding against it most of the time. I took my sample from a side of the barn that had aged less.
Oh well....She didn't notice we used clear cedar t&g 1X4 boards and Clear cedar 1X6 and in places 1.5x 6 Clear Cedar. Plugs all of the screws. Sanded and painted ....all she saw was the color being different from the existing building.
sounds like the moral of the story is you should have left nails exposed on pine....
yes, the government is still shut down. i believe the latest news was from one of the microphones they didn't know was on, where rand paul was telling mitch mconnel that republicans were winning. because that's what's important. if you cut the pay of nearly a million americans, you should really be concerned about who's winning.
Lucy is up and around, a bit dizzy but calm and functioning. Thanks for the kind thoughts.
I'll bet that salon was not detailed in CAD but on site as it was assembled. Lot's of stuff going on up there - HVAC, lighting, sprinklers, etc. A bit cold for my taste, but a stylish use of cheap material and a fun outcome.
One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen was a small cedar gate in Kyoto. The grain was weathered to the texture of deep corduroy and the stain from the iron nails left dark streaks that ran down the curving pattern of the grain. I think it was at Nijō-jō. Wabi sabi.
As to the Fed, I'm pretty sure this is how the (inaptly named) right is going to force their austerity agenda on the country. Killing health care is just one part of it.
But I've now managed to get signed up to the point of being able to peruse various plans. It's not particularly clear what the differences are between them, and it is absolutely clear that all the "providers" are guaranteed full premiums and profits by Uncle Sam, but it looks like we *might* actually get affordable care.
It seems too good to be true, which worries me ... but not as much as a picture of snook in nothing but an ascot. You can see my father in his bandana here if you like. That's me winking at RISD graduation.
I thought the bandanna would be around his head, renegade style. That's more tame than what I expected. God, I remember when we wore our hair like that growing up. Now, haircuts are a monthly ritual, to avoid looking too "Brady."
Nice pic, Miles.
I just gorge-read Where'd You Go, Bernadette? Considering starting a thread about it.
bought another painting yesterday, i'm liking this art collecting gig. i've amassed maybe 30 pieces or so, of photos, prints, paintings, drawings, etchings, but no sculpture - this is a tough one.
^ Show and tell.
Hey TC!
it's late but i had a chance to catch up with a friend, last minute, tonight (it had been a minute) and just now getting to bed.
Also, i finally got around to "loading" photos from my road-trip this past Sept, from CO to FL.
Finally, re: the Fed recently read this; from Ben S. Bernanke re: timing of Fed retreat from its monetary stimulus "We have been overoptimistic"
Finally, beta what Miles said? link?
Nam - I like 976 (nice digs), 1030, 1038, and 1176 best of all. Kudos for 963 for capturing the "Shick razor" building. All of them are good. All zoo pictures are fun. That goes without saying. It's weird how Denver gets kind of gray and slightly humid in the late afternoons, before letting a thunderstorm rip.
I miss per.
@Donna what happened to per? I thought i saw him around not that long ago...
I still see him on Facebook, I just miss his specific single-mindedness here - the book I just read about the lunatic architect made me think of him.
phew it's been a while since I've been in here. I'm still alive. Life has for the most part been very eventful since this summer. A quit recap.
finally completed my architects registration, wife and I interviewed for jobs in Tallahassee, wife's grandmother died, got promoted at current job, starting practicing, dropped a website (there's not much on it) and working to complete my school's journal on prototyping. Phew.
How are you? Donna, Jump, Nam, Per, Vado, Paul, Steven, Orhan, Curtkram, Sarah, Puddles, b3tadine[sutures]??? Apologies if I forgot anyone
Hey David! Tallahassee would be awful close to where I am....
I'm wondering how jla-x is doing ...
i'm fine. weather is getting cooler, which i am enjoying. i just pulled a banana pepper out of the garden and put it in my sammich for lunch. it was excellent.
OK, that thread on unpaid internships is back. But I still think I was hallucinating.
i have no idea who people are from day to day unless their wearing an ascot...
Please people put on your ascots....so I can tell you apart.
On the other hand I had one of those joyful days! We have been messing around with led exterior lighting for the past four months and tonight we tossed the switch, and well it was a test run but damn it was a joyful moment. Now all we have to do is wait for the rain to stop and adjust the splay of the lights which are like 60' above grade. So don't want to be doing that in the dark on a rainy night. Love the pure color of led.
Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. beta, that's gorgeous.
I am saying "no" today. I've been saying yes to far too many things and today is the day I have to say no to others so I have some room to say yes to my own stuff. That painting just reinforces my need to do some of my own creative work for a change rather than spend all my free time manifesting (for free) other people's ideas.
i am not jla-x. DC included me in the list of "how are you," so i figured i would oblige.
i'm pretty sure i don't own an ascot, but i do have a couple shemaghs. are those close enough?
I had never heard of shemaghs, so I did a quick google image search. Do they all come with guns? They do look really warm, though. What are they made of? It's 54 degrees outside, and since I live in Texas, I'm already complaining about it. Brrrrr.
the shemagh is quite amazing. they wear them in the mideast because it keeps the sun off their head and keeps them cool, and in the event of a sand storm i expect it acts as a filter. i wear them in the midwest because it keeps my warm breath around my head and keeps my face warm, and in the event of a blizzard it keeps the snow out of my eyes. i assume they can be tied around the neck similar to ascots as well.
it's pretty much just a lightly woven scarf, around 4' square. the guns cost extra.
i think i'm going to buy this one too.
oh, some advice on buying art; buy what you like, and don't be afraid to ask about a payment plan, most artists i've encountered don't mind, and you're not offending them.
just to be clear i would love it if David lived close enough that we could finally meet. morning TC!
Beta, I feel like the orchard painting is upside down. I do love the waterlilly painting, though.
So I have a student in class this morning that keeps making faces and giggling at himself. I think he may be high. It's hard not to laugh at him.
alas, that one is sold, but there are many more, just wish i had more money and wall space. now, if i can only afford some of mr. bell's work.
Here is the work I've been obsessing over lately.
I suck at picking out art. When I go into peoples houses, I see lots of things I like. But when I'm in a gallery, museum, or online, nothing really sings to me.
OHHHH, very nice! Check out here too! http://www.saatchionline.com/
Cool site, Beta. I looked at a bunch of them, scrolling quickly since I AM at school, and kept thinking "I like that, but man, it would be cool if that was my dad," or some other connection. Do you guys look at art that way? I mean, I appreciate the craftsmanship, but wish the subject were someone from my life. Wonder if that means I will be forever relegated to still-lifes.
I envy you guys.
I've spent the last 15 minutes removing the nipples from this image. Hooray for public schools in the bible belt!
modifying images of bodies to pretend they aren't what they are is obscene.
vindication is good. a project of ours has leaked since it opened two years ago. nobody could figure out why. a *bunch* of scenarios have been floated, mostly indicating some sort of design issue.
over a year ago, going through construction photos, i figured out that the contractor hadn't built a wall the way we detailed it - basically meaning that they had build a metal stud wall with a brick veneer as much as 16" below grade instead of extending the concrete foundation to above grade as we showed it. [seems like an issue, right?!] at the time, no one else involved seemed to think this mattered, no matter how i presented it.
today we got to cut a hole in the wall at the area in question and - lo and behold! - the base track of the stud wall was full of water at exactly the condition i had pointed out back then.
of course i won't be compensated for the hours and hours i've put into this situation over the past two years.
i hate this business.
couldn't agree more Steven...
also re: art / ownership of art - Clyfford Still was a revelation, when i "discovered" him on my recent vacation, especially his earlier Canadian Plains/Prarie-influenced work
would love on of those on my walls!
Nice, b3ta. How big is it?
Bible Belters who object to the depiction of nipples should have theirs removed.
Metal studs below grade. Lovely. Glad you were vindicated, Steve; sorry it means no financial remuneration for you.
How exactly can you delete the nipple from a female breast shown in profile?!?! WTF, Texas. Get over it.
Common practice is to sue everyone. Then the architect and the builder get to spend money blaming each other in an attempt to escape liability while the owner sits back and watches. If you approved contractor invoices for work that didn't meet spec ...
In any case, not a cheap and easy fix now.
Miles, it's 36X48.
One of my favorite practitioners here is probably S. Ward. He always comes across as a steady ship in rough waters, he'd be an architect I could work for. His recent advice regarding wall sections, at an exterior condition, and using wall types, spot on. Although I may seem like an irrational nut job, he'd be easy to get along with. My only hesitation, I am not sure he'd laugh at my colorful "language". Donna, is another one, although, while I think we'd get work done, I am sure we'd be laughing too long, and cursing the shit out of consultants for so long, that neighboring businesses might call the cops.
Anywho. That Klingmann ad, sad, desperate, and really telling - diversify people, diversify. Specialists suck donkey balls.

Build a Windows 8 application for your WordPress site – limited offer
A couple of weeks ago, we announced MetroPress, a Windows 8 template to create an HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript application related to self-hosted WordPress site that our friends at IdeaNotion created. I have much good news for you about this!
MetroPress v2 – Now IdeaPress
The guys at IdeaNotion worked hard to deliver a second version of IdeaPress. What's new in this release? Two main things: change to integrate a module architecture so it will be simpler to add new features (and choose the one you want), and created a module for wordpress.com blogs (as the first version was only supporting self-hosted WordPress site). For those of you that don't know the project, you just need some basic technical skills with HTML, CSS, JavaScript to use this Windows 8, and publish your application to the store. You just need to download the code, install the free Windows 8 SDK, and you are ready to go. You'll get access to a template that is already fully integrated in the Windows platform. For the more advanced Windows 8 or Web developer, you'll find it so easy to use that you'll probably want to contribute to the Open Source project on GitHub! For more information, you can read the post I did when IdeaNotion shown us what they did (keep in mind that it's not supporting wordpress.com blogs).
IdeaPress – The online tool
IdeaPress is an amazing template, but you need to be a developer or have some technical skills to be able to use it. So many people wanted to have their Windows 8 blogs, that IdeaNotion created IdeaPress – the online tool. IdeaPress is a step-by-step Web application that will guide you in the customization of IdeaPress (the template) without the need for any technical skills. This guide will help you set the right blog, change colors, add your own logos, choose your categories, and pages displayed… In brief, IdeaPress will do the work for you to start from the template to get you a full-featured, and customize Windows 8 application for your very own WordPress site! No technical skills required, you just need to follow all the steps. At the end, the tool will give you two options: generate the source code that you can use to deploy or modify your application or generate a package containing the source code, and the package you can immediately deploy in the Windows 8 store. IdeaPress is even good for a technical person who don't want or don't have the time to play too much with the code!
It's FREE – 50$ gift card for you!
What I like with these two tools is that they are free. The template is free, and Open Source. The online step-by-step tool, is also free to use, and will generate the package you want for free! On top of that, IdeaNotion is offering a 50$ gift card to everybody that will publish a Windows 8 application using the template or the online tool. Attention, this offer is limited to the first 200 applications published from Canadians folks, but not limited to one per person. What does that mean? To publish a Windows 8 application, you need to have a Windows 8 store account. The price is 49$, so at the end, the gift card will reimburse you the fees. That will give you a free Windows 8 store account, and a free app in the store! For those of you that have more than one blog, the other gift card, will just be some bonus money, isn't amazing!?
Why I should build a Windows 8 application for my WordPress site?
There are many reasons to do so:
- Reaching a new audience of readers: readers will be able to find your blog from the Windows 8 store;
- Getting experience with the Windows 8 platform development (if you use the template);
- Adding an application to your LinkedIn profile or CV (always good if you are a developer);
- Giving a new way for your actual audience to read your content;
- Getting a free Windows Store account (perfect if you want to build more application – think about the 50$ gift card);
- Offline support for your readers (there are ways with RSS reader applications, but for non-technical folks, may be easier to manage);
- Getting money if you have more than one WordPress site, and will deploy more than one application (First 50$ card will reimburse your Windows Store account, but after this, it's free money);
- Impress your friend with the fact that you have an application that YOU made (hey, you don't have to tell them that you have no technical skills, and that you use the online tool 🙂 );
- and much more…

I see these guys on Groupon and KSL Deals quite a bit, and fresh off a recent review of a competitor in West Valley, L & L Barbecue, it was a good time to do a review and comparison of Moki's in Taylorsville. Sorry L & L Barbecue in WVC, and Lanikai Grill in South Jordan… Moki's beats both of you. Before I crown it king of the Hawaiian grills in SLC though, I still need to try Mo' Bettah Steaks.
Moki's has a few things that L & L didn't have. For starters, the decoration and ambiance inside is much better. Secondly, L&L offers a better dessert menu, better side salads, better meat quality, and they have Hawaiian shaved ice, which is always fantastic, especially in the summer months.
Here I went with the two meat combo which came with rice and my choice of side salad. My first choice for the side salad was not going to be the spinach. When I was a young boy, I was eternally scarred for life when my dad made me eat canned spinach. I detested spinach for the longest time, not even Popeye the sailor man could make me eat it. Eventually, however, I learned that the canned stuff is the only spinach that is gross. Fresh spinach when done right in soups and salads can be quite delicious. I went with the spinach salad, and I have to tell you, it absolutely blew me away. I let my wife have a taste which was a mistake, because between the both of us, the salad was the first thing off the plate to be finished. It was tossed in a tasty vinaigrette and bacon. There you have it, bacon makes everything taste better … go figure.
The meat was really well done too. The chicken was tasty and juicy. I found the kalua pork to be slightly fatty in parts. With that said, I had more of a problem with the cut of pork than I did with the cooking and flavor. I just simply discarded the fatty portions and ate the rest just fine.
The rice off first glance, didn't impress me that much. It was one huge round scoop that didn't fall apart when I prodded it with a fork. It was definitely a "sticky" rice if that is what they were going for. I wouldn't normally care too much for this style of rice, yet the teriyaki sauce that came at each table was really good when I doused the rice with it. The sauce gave it that extra element of flavor and a sweet taste as well. I'm not a fan of putting soy sauce on my rice, because I don't like things overly salty, the teriyaki sauce was a nice garnishment for not only the rice, but the meat as well.
We also got a second two-meat plate but this time with beef and chicken. The beef was really yummy. I didn't find any of it to be dry at all which was a plus. The salad pictured was another one of the side salad choices, the Hawaiian salad. It was fantastic! Moki's Hawaiian Grill wins based on the side salads alone. We didn't try the macaroni salad, and after trying the Hawaiian and spinach options, probably never will.
Yes I went with a dessert, and yes it was phenomenal. It reminded me of a well put together "better than sex" cake. The chocolate cake was moist, and the caramel drizzled on top of it gave it that gooey texture too. I liked how the ice cream was macadamia flavored and not the run of the mill vanilla. The dessert seemed extremely simple and straight forward, yet satisfied completely.
Moki's is a good choice to visit due to the quality of food, and the constant advertisements on half-off sites like KSL and Groupon. You can get a couple of two-meat plates and two medium drinks all for under $15 bucks which is a fantastic deal, you will leave stuffed and extremely satisfied.

I had gastric bypass surgery 30 years ago. I received no follow-up support. The surgery was reversed about 8 years later. I had lost a lot of weight and kept it off until after the reverse.
I am quite obese again. What are the chances I could be approved for another bypass surgery? I believe the surgery is much improved and there is better support. My knees are failing because of my weight.

Pj's is now closed so that's sad
Made my daughter (celiac) soooooo excited and happy! We will be back whenever we come anywhere near! Thank you!!!!
Popcorn scallops with fries, crab & shrimp melt and both were GREAT!! Owner is a celiac so they know how to prepare! Lots of choices listed right on the menu. Try the GF cinnamon roll but be sure to warm it up! Delish!! I'm here a week and will be back many more times. Went back several times during the week, try the turnovers (order them & check out the other made to order GF items) they are so good! Eggs Benedict can't be missed either!! Enjoy!!😊
Absolutely fabulous!! I have horrible reactions to gluten, and this restaurant has never given me any reactions! They prepare the GF food separately from their other food options. My husband loves their gluten filled food - haha. And Iove their great gluten free food! GF menu includes delicious pancakes, French toast, sandwich / breads, GF breaded shrimp and chicken strips, French fries, and yummy desserts! They also sell their GF breading for only $6. Highly recommend!
I had the worst breakfast ever here this morning. I ordered the avocado benedict with ham. When the waitress brought it to my table I noticed that the avocado's were black and there was no ham. I told the waitress about it and she took it back. She came back to my table after talking to the "cook" and said the avocado's are supposed to be black. they took 1 dollar off my bill. I will never be back
The menu looked great, lots of gf options. Unfortunately, after waiting an hour for our food to find out the cooks hadn't even got our ticket yet, we had to walk out. I've heard the same issue from several other people. I hope they figure out the kinks, the food everyone around us was eating looked really good.
I have been frequenting the establishment since it was at the Kenai Airport. Fresh ingredients, varied menu, great service and zero cross contamination. The owners are serious about a safe environment for celiacs. They are very popular with the general public as well.
This restaurant is amazing. They have a mark on the menu that tells if it has a GF option. This is my favorite place to eat in Alaska.

[2 July 2008]
McClatchy Newspapers (MCT)
MIAMI - They're not just rocking the vote - they're salseando, perreando and mariachi-ando it.
Latino musicians, actors and celebrities are getting involved in the U.S. presidential campaign to an unprecedented degree this year, from voter-registration campaigns to online music videos for Barack Obama, the candidate drawing the most support from young Latinos.
Such star action could play a significant role in influencing the 18.2 million Hispanics who the Pew Hispanic Center reports are eligible to vote, especially the 7.3 million under 35 and closely tuned to pop music and online culture.
Stars like Juanes, the Colombian rocker, and Los Tigres del Norte, the godfathers of norteno music, are urging fans at their concerts to register to vote, while Dominican merengue legend Juan Luis Guerra and Mexican rockers Mana played a benefit concert in Miami in March for Ya Es Hora (It's About Time), a national campaign to increase citizenship and voter registration among Hispanics.
Actors Rosario Dawson ("Men in Black II," "25th Hour") and Wilmer Valderrama ("That '70s Show") have made an online telenovela spoof as part of their efforts in spearheading Voto Latino, which seeks to register young Hispanics to vote.
So far, Obama has been the candidate to capture the most attention from Latin stars. There has been no musical or online pop video groundswell for GOP nominee John McCain.
But some political observers caution that just because someone sways to a hip tune online doesn't mean she'll swing the same way in the voting booth.
"These videos are watched for the most part by the people who already support you," says Tico Perez, an Orlando political commentator who appears on several national television and radio shows. "They're great reinforcers but not educators on the issues. The independents are not going to be swayed by videos chanting Obama. They're going to be swayed by the issues."
Yet there's no denying that this presidential campaign has motivated artists to action.
Producer Andres Levin of the hip Cuban-funk band Yerba Buena and numerous other hot Latin acts pulled together a Latino musical constellation that included pop singers Alejandro Sanz and Paulina Rubio, reggaeton star Don Omar, actors John Leguizamo and George Lopez and "In the Heights" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda for "Podemos Con Obama" ("We Can With Obama"), an online music video that has garnered more than half a million hits since it was posted in early June. Hundreds of thousands more have hit YouTube and other sites to check out other music videos rallying La Raza for the senator from Illinois.
Levin was inspired by "Yes, We Can," the star-powered Obama music video by the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am that became an online phenomenon. "From seeing the power and effect (the will.i.am) video had, I thought this is something I can do," says Levin, who pulled together a group of 24 artists, all of whom appeared for free. "I'm a producer, an artist, and if there's any way that I can make a change it's gonna be this."
Many artists were driven to get involved by what they see as the failure of immigration reform and the subsequent backlash of stepped-up border enforcement, workplace raids and deportations.
"The whole caustic nature of the immigration debate and the backlash is hitting home and on a very personal level," says Maria Teresa Peterson, executive director of Voto Latino. "These artists may be successful and achieving their dreams, but they recognize other members of the Latino family who aren't."
That situation inspired a number of songs, from the Tigres' "El Muro" to reggaeton duo Calle 13's "El Norte." But some musicians wanted to do more than sing about the problem.
"The only thing that can save the Hispanic community in the United States is that those who can, register and vote," says Juanes, the multimillion-selling singer who showed voter registration ads on his Web site and during his recent U.S. tour of venues like Miami's AmericanAirlines Arena and New York's Madison Square Garden.
"It's super fundamental. (Voting) is being able to manage the future, the rights they have as Latin Americans in the U.S."
Up to now, audiences for the likes of Juanes has not paid much attention to managing their voting rights.
According to a University of Maryland study, only one in six Hispanics ages 18 to 29 is registered to vote, compared to one in two for whites and one in three for African Americans. But young Hispanics are a fast-growing and potentially powerful voting bloc; 50,000 Hispanics turn 18 every month, according to UCLA's School of Public Policy.
That reality has fired up people like Jose Antonio Hernandez, deputy director of Rock the Vote's invigorated Hispanic initiative, which aims to register 250,000 young Hispanic voters. "We are part of the fabric of this country, and the fact that Hispanics live here and don't get out and vote is detrimental to this community," Hernandez says.
Both Voto Latino and Rock the Vote are non-partisan. But their heavy use of pop and online culture and marketing means their efforts dovetail easily with Obama's campaign, which has been adept at integrating the Internet and appealing to young people.
When Miami Latin-fusion favorites DJ LeSpam and the Spam All-Stars played an Obama rally for 16,000 at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla., in May, the atmosphere was like that of a rock concert.
The Democratic candidate's mixed race and immigrant father are inspiring to young Hispanics, says Colombian filmmaker Andres Useche, 30, whose song "Si Se Puede Cambiar" ("Yes, We Can Change") has racked up over 300,000 hits since it was posted on YouTube in February.
"I discovered this strong movement of young people who were never involved ... who now felt part of a movement," Useche says from his home in Los Angeles.
"He's a great example of (how) to be an American; it doesn't matter where you're from," says Miguel Orozco, whose videos "Viva Obama," a mariachi tune, and "Como Se Llama," a reggaeton song, have garnered more than a million hits on YouTube and Orozco's Web site, www.amigosdeobama.
Even the Cuban-American community, the Hispanic group most traditionally loyal to Republicans, is seeing a political shift along generational lines that's coming out in music. Miami-raised Cuban-American Will Lopez, 40, whose punk band Guajiro sings in Spanish and often about Cuban issues, has used the universal soccer chant of "Ole ole ole ole!" for the Obama song "Ole, Latinos for Hope."
Lopez's stance has caused a "dinner-table rift" with his extended Cuban family. But he says he knows of other Cuban Americans his age who are frustrated with the cost of the Iraq war and the lack of progress in Cuba and are ready for a change.
"We are extremely excited about this upcoming election and want to push as many people as we can to be aware and come out to vote," Lopez says. "We personally are for Obama and think it would be a wonderful change for our country."

American author, Amelia Earhart once said, "You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward" and although my lengthy bank battling journey has fallen a long way short of any results, there is no disputing my decision to act has rewarded me with an enlightening education.
During the course of my investigation into how my family and I became the victims of the financial crisis, I have learned,
- Bankers intentionally flooded the market with financial products which were open to abuse in order to increase their market share and their bonus'
Six painful years, five lever arch files and two unsuccessful FOS complaints later I have now reached the following conclusions:
- Both the FCA and the FOS's allegiance lies only with the banks and not their victims
- Austerity measures have made it nigh on impossible for the victims of banking crime to access justice
- And the voice of the individual, however loud, is all but inaudible
Still void of success in the face of mortgage broker fraud, I have taken the following action;
- Applied for and obtained (via household legal insurance I purchased in 2005/6) agreement to spend £50,000 with DAS Legal Services to pursue Karrek Financial Management Ltd for criminal negligence
- Attended an SME Alliance event for what proved to be a very interesting meeting which not only gave me a great deal of insight into other banking crimes but also provided me with the opportunity to meet other victims and access professional bank battling expertise
- And, written the following letter summarising the criminal negligence of HBOS's panel approved mortgage broker to send along with 30 pages of evidence, to my newly appointed DAS lawyer, the Devon and Cornwall police and a barrister I met through the SME Alliance who has kindly agreed to look at my findings,
"Dear [All],
Further to our telephone conversation ...here follows an outline of my case along with supporting evidence.
In March 2006, having discussed our financial circumstances with Karrek Financial Management Ltd through whom we had previously purchased life cover, my husband was told by their mortgage advisor ****** ****** our monthly outgoings could be dramatically reduced if we agreed to switch our existing £725,000 mortgage with TMB to an interest only discounted mortgage with the Bank of Scotland and restructure our short term borrowings. He advised us to increase the debt secured against our home by firstly taking a further £65,000 by way of a Bank of Scotland further advance, secondly by making use of a £40,000 drawn down which, underwritten at outset, would be made available to us after three months of regular monthly interest payments and thirdly by taking a three month payment holiday for which we would also be eligible after making three monthly interest payments. His recommendation was to use all the additional funds raised against the remaining equity in our home to repay credit cards (see Doc 1. copy application form). Keen to alleviate his cash flow problems at a time when the terminal illness of two of his closest relatives (his mother and brother) was making it impossible to divide his time effectively between the needs of his family and the demands of his business, my husband agreed.
I have since discovered that not only is securing credit card debt against a family home a direct contravention of the Mortgage Code and financial regulations but the method the broker used to obtain this remortgage/ further advance was a blatant abuse of their position of trust and nothing short of fraudulent. Instead of advising how best to arrange our finances in the light of our circumstances, the broker's objective appears to have been to affect a personal gain for themselves (in the form of a handsome introducer fee. (See Doc 2. Copy mortgage offer) by switching an existing mortgage and our credit card borrowings for an entirely unsuitable mortgage product which was not only unaffordable from outset but required falsified information to be used on the application form in order to obtain a Bank of Scotland mortgage offer.
- After a financial fact finding telephone conversation with my husband, the mortgage application (which we never saw) was submitted online (see Doc 3) by the broker whom we never met using false information which was tailored to fit the Bank of Scotland's underwriting requirements. We did not supply the information the broker wrote on the application form (see affidavit Doc. 4).
- There were no acquisition costs to pay, neither were there solicitors or surveyors to instruct as the cost of the valuation and the conveyance, along with instructions, were either taken care of by the lender or added to the advance.
- And, on 30 March 2006, after being told by the broker verbally (again by telephone) we had received a mortgage offer for £790,000 from the Bank of Scotland as a result of him submitting our application on line we were sent, and duly signed, the declaration page and the direct debit mandate of an otherwise blank application form. There then followed another declaration sheet, once again without a completed application form, approximately two weeks later (see Doc. 5).
As a result of his efforts, the broker earned almost £4000 and we, unwittingly, agreed to move from a very tight corner which could have been rectified by the sale of our house, to an impossible situation amounting to tens of thousands of pounds in arrears (see arrears statement Doc 6), a £217,000 mortgage shortfall (see shortfall statement Doc 7) which occurred from the forced sale of our home in 2009 and six long years of battling with an unsympathetic bank while trying to establish precisely what happened to put us in such a position.
Had HBOS not sent me an entirely unsolicited copy of our original application form (minus the declaration pages) by way of an explanation to some wildly inaccurate claims they were making about the original purchase price and original purchase date of our house in response to my over valuation complaint to them, I might never have discovered the fraudulent nature of the information the application form contained. This evidence first came to light in January 2013 and, as a result of a complaint I then made to the Financial Ombudsman Service about overvaluation, irresponsible lending and the falsified information on our mortgage application, I was told (in January 2014 after a full FOS investigation had been completed) my case should have cited the mortgage broker and not HBOS. Needless to say the FOS were unable to uphold my complaint as it was deemed HBOS were faultless because they were not the appointed advisors for the mortgage sale.
The application form which ************ completed states that the mortgage product applied for was a sale he "advised" as a representative of Karrek Financial Management Ltd. It also states our accounts were available and the mortgage was not self certified. It goes on to claim the following;
- ************** had face to face contact with both my husband and I during the application process. This is completely untrue. We have never, on any occasion, met ************ and all communications between my husband and ************ were via telephone, email, fax or post. I have had no face to face or telephone contact with ************.
- Both ************and Karrek Financial Management claim they saw our original passports for money laundering purposes. This is completely untrue. We were merely asked to send photocopies of our passports and a council tax bill both of which have been signed off by Karrek Financial Management in handwriting which does not appear to be ************'s. (see passport Doc 8 and council tax bill photo copies Doc 9)
- Our earned income is shown on the application form as approximately 249k plus 75k with a further 50k in rental income for the years 2005, 2004 and 2003. Our actual income, as illustrated by our company accounts and Inland Revenue supplied tax returns, amounted to little more than 50k per annum in total for the years stated. (see financial evidence Doc 10)
- The purchase price and purchase date of the property is shown as £890,000 in 2004 when in fact it was purchased in 2000 for £250,000. (see Land Registry search. Doc 11)
- The age of the property is shown as 20 years old when in fact it could be as much as 300 years old or more and part of the property is thought to have been recorded in the Doomsday Book. (see Grade II listing Doc 12)
- The application states the property has five bedrooms and three living rooms when it actually has four bed rooms and two living rooms (see estate agent details Doc 13)
When I reported the details of this fraud to the Bank of Scotland, I was advised never to contact them again. Next I reported the matter to the FCA who were insistent that what had happened appeared to be fraud and therefore beyond the remit of both themselves and the FOS. The FCA advised me to contact the police. This I have done and my case details have been logged and given a crime reference number. The Serious Fraud Office for the Devon and Cornwall Police advised me to seek legal advice.
Having initially spoken to the Avon and Somerset Police Serious Fraud Office in August 2014 to inquire as to whom I should report this financial crime, I was told the Bristol police had uncovered a similar mortgage broker fraud amounting to 11 million pounds. This week Swinton Insurance Brokers directors were fined £900,000 by the FCA for creating an over incentivised culture which promoted miss selling and wrongdoing. It is estimated they will be required to pay 11 million pounds in customer compensation. I strongly suspect the same unscrupulous methods have been equally lucrative for Karrek Financial Management Ltd but to date I have been unable to get to the bottom of why they were removed from HBOS' lending panel during my applications processing. (see HBOS screen print Doc 14).Nor have I been able find out if they have been the subject of other similar complaints or any formal regulatory disciplinary action. So far, I have requested this information from HBOS, Karrek, the FCA and Openwork broker network support. My requests have either been ignored or denied (see Karrek's response letter Doc 15).
While HBOS' dubious underwriting practices undoubtedly helped facilitate this fraud, their only response to my findings has been to say they acted in good faith. However, in order to assess my losses I would like to know if the mortgage contract my husband and I thought we had with the Bank of Scotland is now void as a consequence of the fraudulent information contained therein. If this proves to be the case, does it follow that the Bank of Scotland unlawfully obtained a possession order to force the sale of my home? If so, do I have a case for recompense against HBOS as well as Karrek Financial Management?
In addition to the copy of the original mortgage application, I have in my possession a number of pieces of correspondence between HBOS, their panel approved broker Karrek and us, as well as certified accounts and Inland Revenue printouts of our income at the time. I also have conveyance details for our original purchase of the property and HBOS screen prints stating the broker was removed from the panel during the application process, all of which I have enclosed with this letter. However, despite my repeated requests, I have been unable to secure any documentation from Karrek as they say they destroyed the file once the mortgage was 6 years old. More recently, September 2014, I wrote to both Karrek and their network support organisation Openwork to advise them I plan to take the matter of my falsified application form further. I have not received acknowledgement from either.
In the meantime I have, on the instructions of the police, informed the Bank of Scotland (formerly HBOS) that they have been a victim of fraud and asked them to file a police report too (see Doc 15a). I have received no letter of acknowledgement or response.
I believe the only witness' I have are employees of the Bank of Scotland, namely those who underwrote our mortgage initially, Jill Miller and Moira Easton (see underwriting correspondence Doc 5) and Mr David Groves in Bank of Scotland Customer Services who sent me my first copy of the original application in January 2013 (see Doc 15b) without the signed declaration pages, when I complained about the inaccurate figures he was quoting while he was investigating my over- valuation/irresponsible underwriting complaint. (see my letter asking for declaration pages Doc 16).
Had ************ of Karrek Financial Management not falsified our mortgage application to secure us an unsuitable and unaffordable mortgage against our home, we would have had no alternative but to sell it for the £925,000 value the Bank of Scotland surveyor gave it at the time (see doc 17). A valuation which both the Bank of Scotland and the Financial Ombudsman have both later endorsed as fair and accurate in my FOS complaint of 2013. Had we sold in March 2006 instead of remortgaging and taking a further advance to refinance, we would have received £200,000 after repaying our TMB mortgage, less agents and solicitors fees. Instead, ************'s reckless self serving advice led to the Bank of Scotland obtaining a possession order in November 2008 because we were unable to meet our interest payments from outset. This gave the Bank of Scotland the power to force us to sell our home for a mere £665,000 two years later (see arrears statement Doc 6). Furthermore, I would not have spent the past six years suffering the immense stress of the Bank of Scotland's relentless and ongoing pursuit of a £217,000 mortgage shortfall which was created from this fire sale.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely"
Political theorist, philosopher, author and reporter, Hannah Arendt, once said, "Confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing" and after seven banking crisis ridden years filled with endless excuses for doing nothing and a plethora of meaningless confessions of collective banking and regulatory guilt, I am sincerely hoping £50,000 of legal funding will not only provide me with an audible voice with which to pursue our criminally negligent mortgage broker but I am also eager for it to provide me a long awaited opportunity to get up close and very personal with HBOS!
As ever, I now wait without patience, for news.


text: I hear today the the European Union plan to phase out normal electric filament bulbs within 2 years. I don't have a problem with that as far as domestic lights are concerned, but it could leave us with a problem for enlarger bulbs. 'Low-Energy' bulbs have a very long warm-up time (up to 5 minutes!) and I'm not sure about the colour spectrum. Short of stockpiling bulbs (I've already got 5!) what's the answer in the long term? Has anyone here used LE bulbs in an enlarger or for contact printing? Rob

Good news for those of you living in the United States who have your eyes on the Caterham 7 because the model in question can now be ordered over there and it's currently being sold though Irvine, California-based Superformance, the company's official U.S. distributor.

Washington, D.C. — Recognizing a growing need to unite the advocates, partners and supporters of national parks in advance of the upcoming 2016 National Park Service (NPS) centennial and beyond, the most diverse group of national park leaders ever converged gathered last week in Washington, D.C. to attend America's Summit on National Parks. The Summit was a first of its kind event established in coordination with the NPS through a partnership of the National Park Foundation (NPF), the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), and the National Park Hospitality Association (NPHA).
The two-day Summit, which took place January 24-26, was inspired by NPS' recent Call to Action report and was designed to create unifying, clear objectives that will ensure the protection, enhancement, and support America's iconic landmarks for centuries to come. The Summit inspired thought-provoking dialogue on some of the greatest challenges and opportunities facing national parks currently. The Summit produced a working document outlining the participants' shared "Statement of Principles" and "Action Items" to ensure that the seeds of progress begun from the passionate and inspired conversations will take root, leading to growth, change, increased accessibility and ultimate strengthening of the national park system and national park programs. The Summit drew prominent members of Congress, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, prominent political advisors and top conservation, tourism and communication leaders.
In a joint statement regarding the Summit, Tom Kiernan, president of NPCA; Neil Mulholland, president of NPF; and Derrick Crandall, counselor of NPHA said: "Our parks need to evolve with us. The passionate leaders and advocates who attended this Summit are committed to a united vision for the national parks to thrive in the next century. We understand that appropriate funding, diverse outreach, natural resource protection and conservation, updated facilities, and adequate staff are necessary to make sure our national parks remain attractive, healthy places for people to visit and enjoy. And, though there are many challenges, we are confident that this newly unified focus, support and dedication by the park community will make these goals obtainable."
Among the most notable directives coming out of the Summit were to increase outreach to youth and other diverse populations; to make units within the NPS system more representative of the diverse makeup of the nation; to use technology, such as social media, smart phone applications, video games and other electronic technologies to attract visitors and improve park experiences; to highlight healthy food and opportunities for safe, active fun during park visits; to increase public awareness of the 2016 centennial; to create an endowment to provide the NPS with secure funding for the future; to encourage supporters and lovers of national parks to become more engaged with their members of Congress and other decision makers, and to grow the base of support for national parks, particularly among the health, education and tourism communities.
Leading up to the 2016 centennial, the current stewards of our national parks will take up the gauntlet thrown by this Summit. Through their work, these original goals will be enhanced and the shared vision will become action.

Charlie Wi is about to be tested like he's never been tested in his winless 162 game, seven-year PGA Tour career. Wi holds the lead at 12-under after two days at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, three shots ahead of second-place Dustin Johnson, already a two-time winner at this event in 2009 and 2010.
But just beneath Johnson on the scoreboard is a dogged crowd of players bunched up between 6-under and 8-under anticipating, no, salivating for Wi to falter.
And no one's going to care that Wi is one of the nice guys if he indeed does slip up.
Charlie Wi, welcome to the PGA's version of running of the bulls. Only you're in Pebble Beach, not Pamplona. You're surrounded by the majestic Pacific Ocean crashing below the cliffs, rather than the wooden and iron barricades in the Spanish streets.
And instead of a herd of terrifyingly angry bulls chasing you? You have a dizzying onslaught of multiple winners and major champions, players with something to prove, players with chips on their shoulders, and oh yeah a few guys named Phil and Tiger, all breathing down your neck. And they're all looking to mow you down and give you the horns Charlie Wi.
Charlie Wi? Are you ready for this?
It wouldn't be a surprise if Wi had nightmares Friday night, and probably nightmares of being chased by that same menacing cartel of major champions and multiple winners just mentioned. But this is all normal. Being chased in your dream normally means worry. And whatever is pursuing you in your dream is your unconscious mind letting you know that you need to face some responsibilities.
162 games over 7 years and all you have to show for it is a cameo in the late night Stack and Tilt Golf Channel infomercials? You're better than that Charlie Wi. I've seen it with my own two eyes just this weekend alone.
Two days in a row you've lead the field in eagles. Two days in a row you've lead the field in birdies. You rank first in driving accuracy, second in putts per green in regulation, and third in total putts. Charlie Wi it's time to face your fears head on and take these bulls by their horns. You have the game to do it. You have the game to win the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Or, you could be content to be a mere footnote in this tournament, much like Rickie Fowler will be for his Friday afternoon color ensemble that made him look like an imulsion eating lambent glowstick straight out of the video game Gears of War 3 (which turned out by the way to be long on hype and short on bite). Is that what you want Charlie Wi?
Saturday is moving day Charlie Wi. Be assertive. Be aggressive. Position yourself to fight back the likes of Dustin Johnson (nine-under), Padraig Harrington (eight-under), Vijay Singh (eight-under), Brian Gay (eight-under), Danny Lee (eight-under), Hunter Mahan (seven-under), Phil Mickelson (seven-under), and of course Tiger Woods (six-under).
I want to see more shots like your magnificent long iron on No. 8 that you stuck inside 10 feet and then calmly rolled in for birdie.
I don't want to see shots like your tentative putt on No. 2 that cost you a birdie and nearly sent you into raving Woody Austin putter meets head combat mode (by the way he has won a few times already on tour).
Your critics are saying you struggle mightily in January and February events, and are probably already writing their Monday headlines like "Careless Wi-sper", or "Sorry Charlie" anticipating you'll provide a Jekyll and Hyde performance, erratic shot making and ultimately intimidated collapse. Don't let it happen Charlie.
If you think I'm being hard on you, I am. But it's a tough love. You're living the dream man. And there are hundreds of thousands of people living vicariously through you. There are hundreds of thousands of people who dream of being in the position you're in: leading a field overflowing with the some of the most respected names and notable winners in the game today.
Harrington moved up 38 spots Friday shooting a six-under 66 for his round at Pebble Beach, hitting 15 of 18 greens-in-regulation. While Mickelson playing at Monterey Peninsula, moved up 33 spots Friday, shooting a five-under 65 for the round, and also hitting 15 greens-in-regulation. Singh meanwhile moved up 12 spots shooting 4-under 68 at Spyglass Hill, starting strong on his front nine with four birdies in the first seven holes.
Johnson of course is right on your heels (although his 72 at Spyglass Hill was his highest round at the course in four career starts there).
And the world remains on the edge of its seat waiting for Tiger to break through and finally win an official PGA Tour event (his drought extends back to the 2009 BMW Championship). Tiger seems ready to do his part, saying after Friday's round, "I gotta go get it tomorrow."
All of these guys are major championship winners, and are either in the zone, on fire, or just knocking at the door to remind you there's a long way still to go for that first win. Big time players. Big time names. Big time games.
But you know what Charlie Wi? You have a very real opportunity to finish ahead of all of them. Slam the door closed on all of them. And earn your first professional PGA Tour win on arguably the most prestigious and grandest course anywhere on the planet, in possibly the most memorable way imaginable, against some of the best players in the game today, and presumptively some of the best to ever play the game.
Charlie Wi, 2012 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am Champion. Has a Wi-nning ring to it don't you think?
Additional Notes:
Harrington and J.P McManus sit atop the celebrity leaderboard at 25-under, while defending champions D.A Points and partner Bill "My foe, my enemy is an animal." Murray are tied for 26th place at 12-under.
Round 3 coverage resumes Saturday at 10:00 am PST on Golf Channel, and at 12:00 pm PST on CBS.

UEFA EURO 2008™ gets started on Wednesday and the majority of the competitors have hopes of joining co-hosts Austria and Switzerland in the finals. With both FIFA World Cup finalists in the same group, and two new nations in contention, uefa.com takes a look at the seven pools, each of which will produce two qualifiers.
Group A
Runners-up on home soil four years ago and World Cup semi-finalists, Portugal are confident. Luís Figo and record scorer Pauleta have bowed out but the talismanic Luis Felipe Scolari remains in charge. Poland also have a high-profile foreign coach in the shape of Leo Beenhakker, who is keeping faith with the established players as they attempt to qualify for their first EURO finals. Playing in their debut qualifiers are the now separate Serbia, coached by Spaniard Javier Clemente and able to call on most the squad that reached the World Cup in partnership with Montenegro. Belgium will build around German-based defensive duo Vincent Kompany and Daniel Van Buyten when they open their campaign on Wednesday against Kazakhstan, who are making their EURO bow. Finland will be coached by the experienced Roy Hodgson, but although hopes of a first qualification have grown over the last decade, there is limited back-up to the first-choice lineup.
Group B
On 6 September France and Italy will meet in their second qualifier less than two months after their encounter in Berlin. France are (again) looking to life after Zinédine Zidane, Lilian Thuram and Claude Makelele, while world champions Italy have a new coach in Roberto Donadoni as they aim to become only the second team to win the European title two years after gaining the world crown - after France in 2000. Ukraine, who lost to Italy in the World Cup quarter-finals, will be keen to reverse that result but another challenge could come from Scotland, much improved under Walter Smith.
Group C
Holders Greece have stuck by Otto Rehhagel and his established lineup, but are still smarting from their World Cup campaign when they finished fourth in their pool. Turkey also have unhappy memories of that tournament, as the aftermath of their play-off defeat by Switzerland has left them having to play their 'home' games against Malta, Moldova and Norway on neutral territory. Norway themselves have reached play-offs in their last two campaigns and welcome back Ole Gunnar Solskjær from injury. Dark horses Bosnia-Herzegovina have become a difficult team to beat.
Group D
Jürgen Klinsmann's successor Joachim Löw takes over a Germany team high in confidence, full of up-and-coming talent like Phillip Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Lukas Podolski, and with only one departure - Oliver Kahn, who had already lost his place to Jens Lehmann. Of course, it is a while since their last competitive away game, but only one of Germany's rivals, the Czech Republic, qualified for the World Cup, and their experience was one of disappointment. However, they have only seen Karel Poborský retire, and the vastly experienced Karel Brückner remains in charge. Two other teams with strong chances are the Republic of Ireland, under former player Steve Staunton, and Czech neighbours Slovakia, only beaten by Spain in the World Cup play-offs.
Group E
England's new coach Steve McClaren is in place, keen to improve on three consecutive quarter-final results, and looks to be making changes. Croatia have qualified five times for major tournaments in six attempts and there is plenty of optimism following the appointment of the 37-year-old Slaven Bilić as coach. Russia too have an inspiring new leader in Guus Hiddink and while Israel may have to switch their home games, Avraham Grant's successor Dror Kashtan inherits a team that were not beaten in World Cup qualification. F.Y.R. Macedonia, who play Estonia this week, are coached by Srečko Katanec, who led his native Slovenia to two major final tournaments.
Group F
Spain may sometimes disappoint at major tournaments but they have not failed to qualify in well over a decade. The fluency of their performances in the group stage in Germany suggest that run will not end, with the major threats coming from Scandinavian neighbours Denmark and Sweden. Denmark did not make the World Cup but have a stable and experienced squad while Lars Lagerbäck will again lead Sweden as they attempt to reach a fifth consecutive major finals, though Henrik Larsson is no longer available. Of the outsiders, Northern Ireland's victory against England in September will be a warning for no one to take them lightly, but Latvia could find it tough to match their 2004 heroics. Even Liechtenstein proved in their World Cup campaign that they are no longer pushovers.
Group G
Two EURO semi-final defeats in a row will motivate the Netherlands, who departed the World Cup in a bizarre match against Portugal but otherwise have looked good under Marco van Basten with a talented, young team. Romania finished third behind the Dutch and Czechs in World Cup qualifying, but with established names including Adrian Mutu, Cristian Chivu and Cosmin Contra available, this could be the competition that ends a run of three near-misses. Bulgaria, Belarus and Slovenia are all potential challengers.
