SUNDAY GRAVY: Replacement refs were bad, but not as bad as Roger Goodell
The Monday Night Football debacle helped prompt the NFL to get its regular referees back in time for this week's games, sending the replacements back to the lingerie league or whatever hole they exhumed them from.
Still, as inept as the scab refs were, they still proved themselves to be more competent at their jobs than Roger Goodell is at his.
?The Adam Greenberg story is a Hollywood movie waiting to be made.
?Jacques Cesaire had an inkling his days as a defensive tackle with the San Diego Chargers might be numbered the instant he saw Kendall Reyes. The Chargers were in the midst of a youth movement and Reyes, a second-rounder out of UConn, was brought in to re-energize an aging defensive line.
Cesaire could see the writing on the wall. So he wasn't shocked when, at the end of training camp, he was let go after nine years in San Diego. But there was a familiar air about the whole ordeal -- New England-reared kid who played college ball in Connecticut looking to get a foothold in the NFL on the West Coast.
"When (Reyes) first came in, my buddy Luis Castillo, who also got released, we looked at him and said he's just like us," Cesaire said Friday. "Here's a hard-working kid who doesn't talk too much and is trying to get better every day. The thing about him is he's a tremendous athlete, strong, intelligent. He has a lot of things going for him and I think he'll be a great pro."
While Reyes is working his way into the NFL, Cesaire is holding out hope his career isn't finished. At 32, he's not ready to retire just yet, keeping in shape coaching and working out with a Southern California high school powerhouse where his brother works as an assistant.
"I'm waiting for a phone call right now. I feel I have a couple more years left," Cesaire said. "Hopefully some other team sees that and needs a veteran presence and a solid football player."
Cesaire, always a sociable personality, might have a decent backup plan. He's been working as a Chargers postgame studio analyst for the San Diego NBC affiliate on Sunday nights. TV suits him well.
"It's a little weird being on the other side," Cesaire said. "But it's the most fun I've been having lately."
Cesaire will be back in New England next month. He'll be in Gardner (Mass.) for induction into his high school's athletic hall of fame and plans to be at his first Southern Connecticut State homecoming football game.
?The NBA is going after the floppers. The league plans to fine players who exaggerate contact to get foul calls from the referees. Somewhere, Vlade Divac just hit the deck after being grazed by a shopping cart at Whole Foods.
It'll be interesting to see how this is handled. The art of drawing a charge is 90 percent embellishment. Defensive players who hold their ground almost always get whistled for blocking. Plus, elaboration helps avoid injury.
?Manny Acta was relieved of his managerial duties on Thursday, but Cleveland Indians team president Mark Shapiro said the organization still fully supports Orange's Chris Antonetti, finishing his second season as general manager.
"His vision and his plan are still evolving," Shapiro said.
The Indians were in first place on July 23, but have lost more games than any team in the majors since. Antonetti has also caught criticism in Cleveland for the collapse. Ubaldo Jimenez was one of the top pitchers in the National League in 2010, but is just 13-21 with an ERA over 5.25 since arriving in Cleveland.
Antonetti told media he holds himself accountable for transactions that misfired. But the 1992 Amity graduate may silence critics if he lands Terry Francona as the next manager. Sandy Alomar Jr. is in charge in the interim, and an excellent candidate for the job, but Sports Illustrated reported Antonetti and Francona have a great relationship.
?The first official day college hockey teams are allowed to practice, as mandated by the NCAA, is this Saturday. So Quinnipiac's first practice will be its pregame skate prior to that night's season-opener at Maine.
Even Little League teams hold a few practices before opening day. But Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold said the schedules didn't leave any other options, so both will hop straight into the season. And when the game is through, the Bobcats bus it back to Hamden, about seven hours through the night, catch a few Z's before a Sunday afternoon exhibition with a Canadian university.
?There wasn't a lot of room for Andy Williams in my music catalogue growing up, what with all the Van Halen and Iron Maiden CDs in my changer. But nothing unleashed the holiday cheer like "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." I would occasionally crank it on the stereo in June because, well, I really loved Christmas.
So while I wasn't much of a fan, I do remember an interview Williams gave when he released his autobiography a few years back. The book took a lot of time and effort, and upon its completion he went to a package store to buy a bottle of champagne.
The clerk asked if he was celebrating something.
"Yes, I just finished my book," Williams said. "It took a whole year."
"I know what you mean," the clerk replied. "I'm a slow reader, too."

Non surgical liposuction alternatives are big business. You might have undergone one of the treatments or you are considering it. There's a lot of media hype around so that it is important to really know what each treatment can perform before you make the leap and spend a not inconsiderable amount of cash for cure.
There are many ways of body contouring. Most focus on the thought of spot getting rid of subcutaneous fat skin cells (fat slightly below the skin instead of inside your body). One technique, the Curves Body Cover however functions by rousing the muscles to provide a short-term tightening up impact and using nutrient clays put on your body to supposedly leach out waste from frustrating cellulite areas. (Cellulite regarding to a lot of people has a dimpled appearance due to toxins it includes). The procedure will indeed provide in . loss which can last around thirty days. Actually it promises inch reduction or your cash back. Beware nevertheless the company declare that you will eventually lose six inches which is a spot that lots of treatment practitioners are guilty of; because measurements given are cumulative. Quite simply the specialist will assess you over a number of different areas and add all of them up! Treatment consists of electrodes being put on your skin for muscle activation as well as the program of a clay body treatment. it could be a lttle bit messy! Typically of just one one or two 2 cm reduction can be assessed soon after treatment for solitary measurement.
Of the location fat burning techniques there are three contenders. Laser beam Lipolysis, Ultrasonic Cavitation and Cryo Lipolysis or 'Coolsculpting' as it may also be called. (Coolsculpting is truly a trade make of Zeltiq but it referred to perfectly what the task does).
Laser beam Lipolysis or Laser beam Lipo for brief is a popular salon treatment for some time now. The procedure works by by using a particular regularity of laser beam light which penetrates about 6 cm into the subcutaneous fatty level and causes system.drawing.bitmap cells release a their stored content thus deflating them and for that reason creating inch loss.
How it really works is somewhat more included. Each extra fat cell contains an assortment of fat, sweets and drinking water, this mixture is named triglycerides. In each cell there are basic set ups called mitochondria which will be the cell's powerhouse. When your body exercises and has go out of available gasoline produced from food the mitochondria in system.drawing.bitmap cells signal the cells to get started on releasing their fatty content for your body to use as fuel. Changes then take place in the cell membrane; it becomes more permeable which allows system.drawing.bitmap to be released. This excess fat is adopted by the lymphatic system and carried to where it is necessary.The rate of recurrence of laser beam light found in Laser beam Lipo mimics this sign and it causes the mitochondria release a system.drawing.bitmap from the cells.This excess fat is then adopted by the lymphatic system and gradually utilized by your body as fuel.
The required area is cared for through the use of paddles that are inserted with cold laser beam diodes, the light that penetrates your skin into the subcutaneous fatty level leading to system.drawing.bitmap cells release a their contents. With Laser beam Lipo it's important to exercise after treatment to guarantee the fat is burned up as system.drawing.bitmap cells may re-absorb it. You'll need eight to ten trainings to achieve great results. Session prices are usually these days across the $100 to $300 make for an individual treatment about the same area. You'll haven't any more than two areas cared for at the same time. Treatments can be carried out twice weekly. It could be applied to any section of the body except chest. Vigorous exercise is necessary post treatment for an hour to reduce the chance of system.drawing.bitmap cells refilling. Small results, typically of just one one or two 2 cm reduction can be assessed soon after treatment.
Ultrasonic Cavitation is a totally different treatment from laser beam lipolysis. As the name implies it uses ultrasound. Cavitation is the word directed at the spontaneous development, enlargement and contraction of little micro bubbles within water. Cavitation is actually a happening that generally we turn to avoid since it is harmful. The phenomenon is well known in executive where it can cause serious structural harm to moving parts such as dispatch propellers. However, in a medical setting up where it is applied in an exceedingly managed way it could be used to selectively eliminate fatty tissue. Why is this treatment completely different from Laser beam Lipolysis is the actual fact that is doesn't just bare fat skin cells, it damages them signifying those cells cannot simply fill up with fat. Your body must make new extra fat cells and so long as your bodyweight is steady this is something it generally does not wish to accomplish. New fat skin cells are only generated by your body when old unwanted fat cells reach a certain capacity. The region is cured by massaging it with an ultrasound transducer. The ultrasound waves permeate the chosen areas and cause system.drawing.bitmap cells to be destroyed.
You'll need around five to eight treatments to accomplish great results. Treatment prices remain the $200 to $500 draw per treatment per area nevertheless, you have to note that may provide you a more long lasting weight loss treatment than laser beam lipolysis. You'll haven't any more than two areas cared for at anybody time. One treatment weekly to ten days and nights to allow your body to properly get rid of the fat as metabolic waste material. It could be applied to any section of the body except chest. No post treatment exercise is necessary. Small results, typically of just one one or two 2 cm damage can be assessed soon after treatment with further reductions for weekly as your body breaks the skin cells down.
Cryo Lipolysis again this works in different ways from Laser beam Lipolysis or Ultrasound Cavitation but like Cavitation it leads to system.drawing.bitmap cells being destroyed rather than simply emptied. Cryo Lipolysis uses extreme cool to selectively destroy fat cells. The technique originated by Harvard University or college after scientists there have been considering old data from the 1960's which described tests done into an ailment called Popsicle Panniculitis. Popsicle Panniculitis developed in children who ate a lot of ice-pops. They lost a few of system.drawing.bitmap in their cheeks and the hyperlink was made between cold and fat cell death. This sensation has been enhanced and honed into one of the very most impressive treatments lately. The region is cared for by sucking the fat into an applicator where it is chilled right down to a point that triggers system.drawing.bitmap cells to be killed but doesn't harm your skin or other tissues. The procedure can reduce extra fat skin cells by up to 25% within a treatment time. However, the problem is the fact that it can only just be utilized on loose fats it can suck in to the applicator. So a flabby belly is an excellent treatment area while firmer body fat on the thighs for example is not.
You will desire a sole treatment per area and you might have up to six areas cured at anybody time. Prices remain $1200 to $2000 per area. Only well suited for softer fat such as abdomen, flanks (love grips) tops of hands and possibly interior thighs or internal leg areas. No post treatment exercise is necessary. results take about eight weeks to build up but are really worth the wait.
Radio Frequency. While not specifically a fat burning treatment it should get a talk about here since it can treat and increase the appearance of cellulite. It can action on the fatty part and reduce it however, not significantly enough to be utilized only as an in . loss method. However, since it works so superficially it is well suited for dealing with cellulite. Cellulite is the company but dimpled oily areas typically on the thighs and buttocks of women. Radio Occurrence waves permeate into this part and cause micro stress to the connective cells (collagen) inserted within the fatty cells triggering new collagen development. This new collagen replaces the old broken collagen structures supplying a more even turn to the region. Radio Occurrence will also take action to a tiny degree on system.drawing.bitmap cells creating them release a their contents thus helping soften and smooth the region. Radio occurrence will also help tighten up post weight loss loose skin area. No post exercise treatment is necessary. Results, not inch damage but smoother format as cellulite is reduced.
So which method is most beneficial for body contouring? Well it quite definitely depends after what you want to achieve. In the event that you just want a non permanent fix to look best for a particular occasion a contour body cover works well.
If you're a very lively one who just wants a modification to your waistline circumference, laser beam Lipolysis will continue to work well.Your activity levels should keep carefully the fat skin cells from refilling and the procedure is currently quite inexpensive set alongside the other methods.
For general decrease in size of a location, e.g. waistline circumference, thigh circumference etc then ultrasonic cavitation is an excellent choice particularly if you aren't thinking about exercise!.
For targeting oily storage compartments such as that tummy bulge then cryo lipolysis increases results than other non medical procedures available today supplying significant fat burning in a single treatment. Though it isn't cheep, the cumulative costs of the other treatments can truly add up up to a cryo treatment please remember you merely need one treatment to obtain the results you want.
Radio Frequency is ideal for focusing on cellulite ridden areas and also post weight damage loose skin.
Weight-loss and body contouring are a few of the key treatments at our medical center. So as imaginable, we really know what works. Having done laser beam lipolysis, cavitation, cryo lipolysis and radio occurrence and having connection with the body cover system we realize intimately which treatment is most beneficial for the type of result.

METS: Another quality start from Jon Niese in victory over Detroit Tigers, may get the nod opening day
LAKELAND, Fla. >> Jonathon Niese knows he may get the ball on opening day if Johan Santana begins the season on the disabled list.
The young left-hander is not taking anything for granted, though.
Niese pitched one-hit ball for 4 2-3 innings, and the New York Mets roughed up Justin Verlander in an 11-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Monday.
Starting the opener at home on April 1 against the San Diego Padres would be a big deal to Niese -- only if Santana isn't ready.
"It would be an honor to pitch on opening day," Niese said. "I'll pitch anywhere in the rotation, but if it is offered, I will accept the challenge."
Niese went 13-9 last season for the Mets with a 3.40 ERA in 30 starts. He was second on the staff in wins behind Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey, who was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays over the winter. Santana started only 21 games, going 6-9 last season for the Mets.
New York manager Terry Collins is confident Niese, who hasn't allowed a run to a major league team this spring, would be up to the task.
"He won 13 games and pitched a lot of innings for us last year," Collins said of Niese. "He's growing up as a pitcher and he deserves the opportunity. I think he can be one of the best pitchers in the game."
Niese wasn't satisfied with walking four Monday and knows there is work to be done between now and opening day.
"I feel good and my velocity is increasing," Niese said. "I need to cut down on my walks, but I am also trying to attack hitters. I'm getting to where I want to be."
Verlander allowed five runs, while walking two, hitting two batters and balking in a run in his worst outing of the spring.
Verlander said he had an idea coming in for his first inning that it might not be his day.
"It's the first time I haven't had it this spring," said Verlander, who entered the game having allowed only one earned run. "I knew from the start I didn't have it and they got to me."
Tigers manager Jim Leyland didn't seem concerned.
"It was just an ugly loss in an ugly spring training game," Leyland said. "There's no need for alarm with Verlander. He is the least of my concerns."
Jordany Valdespin, who later left the game after being hit by a pitch from Verlander, homered in the first inning, and Brian Bixler and Brandon Hicks also homered for the Mets.
The Tigers had five hits, including two from Matt Tuiasosopo.
NOTES: Valdespin was hit in the groin in the 5th inning. Verlander said it was unintentional. ... After Tuesday's off day, Matt Harvey will start against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. ... 2B Daniel Murphy remains day to day while recovering from a strained muscle in his right side. ... Detroit optioned C Ramon Cabrera and INF Dixon Machado to Double-A Erie, and RHP Melvin Mercedes to Class-A Lakeland. INF Eugenio Suarez and OF Daniel Fields were sent to minor league camp. ... Drew Smyly, who hasn't allowed a run in nine innings this spring, will start on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Roy Halladay will start for the Phillies. ... SS Jhonny Peralta was a late scratch from the game after eating clam chowder earlier. Leyland said Peralta didn't know he was allergic to clam chowder. Peralta is expected to play on Tuesday. Leyland said he expects Miguel Cabrera, Omar Infante and Anibal Sanchez, who all played for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, to show up at camp Tuesday. The Tigers will be in Clearwater to face the Philadelphia Phillies and Leyland doubted any of them would make the trip.

ANDERSON, Ind.-June 13, 2014 - Ritascape and Lewayne Miller pulled off a stunning upset in the featured event of the evening, a $22,000 Fillies and Mares Invitational Pace, at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino on Friday, June 13. As the longest shot on the board, Ritascape used a perfect pocket trip to score her sixth win of the season and established a new lifetime best of 1:51.3 in the process
Leaving from post two in the field of six, Ritascape was hustled away from the gate just enough to protect her inside position. American Girl and Tyler Smith fired from the gate and were the first to get a call at the first station in a :27.2. Ritascape followed intently in second while last week's winner, Mach Me Not and Sam Widger, were next in line in third. Widger gave Mach Me Not the green light down the backside and American Girl yielded the lead through a second panel in :56
No Respect and Trace Tetrick were the first to commit to the outer flow as the field approached the final turn and Igottafeelinfran and Brad Hanners quickly followed suit and joined the outer flow. Mach Me Not reached the three-quarter clocking in 1:24.2 and braced herself for the long Hoosier Park stretch.
American Girl tipped from the pocket and took aim at the leader while Ritascape found racing room up the rail. Using a :26.3 last quarter, Ritascape charged down the lane and was able to finish a length in front of Mach Me Not at the wire. Mach Me Not held on for second place honors while American Girl battled gamely to round out the trifecta. Dismissed at 14-1, Ritascape returned $30.80 to her backers at the window.
"It was a great trip for her tonight," Miller noted after the win. "The last couple weeks the race just didn't work out for us for one reason or another. Tonight, she was really sharp and the trip went our way. I knew coming around the last turn if I could get room down the lane she would be good."
Trained by Homer Hochstetler, Ritascape has now won 12 of her 25 lifetime outings while amassing $159,004 for her connections. The daughter of Artiscape-Rita J is owned by Connie and Homer Hochstetler and South of The Tracks Rac Inc. and has won six of 12 outings in 2014.
Live racing at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino will continue on Saturday, June 14 with a 14-race card highlighted by the $22,000 Invitational Trot and Pace. Live racing at Hoosier Park will follow a Tuesday through Saturday schedule. With a daily post time of 5:15 p.m., the 160-day, all harness racing meet will be conducted through November 15.

For a quick and dirty translation of the current promotion by Burger King, this is basically all-you-can-eat Whoppers for 30 minutes!
I'm always up for a challenge. I wish I chose a better time to try it out though. I was in Shibuya for my usual Long Island Iced Tea Jumbos. I only had some peanut snacks, rather than the chicken and chips I usually get, so at the time I thought it was as good a time as any to put this, and my stomach, to the test.
To get it, you have to buy a set, a medium or a large. In my inebriation I heard "large", so my illogical thinking said of course large! So I had a large orange juice and onion rings to scoff through as well. 830 yen please.
Thirty minutes goes so quickly when you're trying to beat the clock. After getting through the first two, my stomach couldn't take any more so I just put the next two I got in my bag for a quick breakfast the next day.
While eating I had a nauseating flashback from the time I had the Windows 7 burger, so I'm glad I stopped when I did. The promotion is on till the 15th.

Burger King is striving to make it 100% easier to eat their burgers with the introduction of the totally fake, but intriguing "hands-free Whopper holder."
BK-produced a promotional video extolling the varied and remarkable virtues of what would be a boon to carnivorous consumers — straight from the mind of Homer Simpson.
This comes at the same time the chain announced it has dropped the supplier that was selling them ground beef linked to horse meant DNA in the UK.

Count on Charles Goldman to give it to you straight. He is, after all, on the forefront of the fiduciary battle, and the company he co-founded, Advizent, counts John Bogle and Robert Kaplan as board members.
His presentation at MarketCounsel's Member Summit 2012 was titled "The RIA Industry: Trends, Facts and the Need for Branding," and it did just that; hammering trends, facts and the overwhelming need for advisor branding.
The information he delivered made it abundantly clear why branding is so important.
"Fully 84% of investors do not know the RIA model even exists," he said in response to his own question of why wirehouses maintain the asset levels they do, despite scandal, headline risk and a "broken business model."
"Your clients think you are a broker, and don't know the difference between a broker and an advisor. Most shocking, 66% of clients think their advisor is a fiduciary, and that's being generous. I saw one Cerulli study that pegged the number at 85%. Yikes."
The bulk of Goldman's presentation was given to debunking "myths" promulgated by "our friends in the press."
"Let me start out by saying everything's crap," Goldman said to laughter. "It's a tough world. We have low interest rates, volatile markets, a struggling economy, poor political sentiment, regulation changes and a euro zone crisis."
But Americans themselves, he added, are optimistic about their economic situations, as poll after poll demonstrates.
"The stock market certainly doesn't reflect poorly on the current situation," he added.
The good news, he added, is that advisors are in an industry with the "wind at their backs."
"The market for advice is huge and there is money at all levels," Goldman noted. "People are leaving banks and due to a lack of trust, revealing a real opportunity for advisors to build their businesses by building trust."
One myth is that the high-net-worth is where advisor need to target their effort, but technology means the low-net-worth can be profitable and there is a "ton of money in the middle."
"Another myth is that we are all retiring and it will be all about losing assets to de-accumulation," he countered. "Yes, people are retiring, but money is headed this way as well."
A third myth involves the notion that "the wirehouses are done and banks are done.
"Wirehouses still manage over half of the assets in this country. Their model may be broken, but they're fixing it. The notion that you're the only game in town that's winning is just false."
He then hit upon numbers that got the attendees attention. He claimed $2 trillion are currently held with RIAs out of the $13 trillion in managed money and $28 trillion in investable assets. Currently, firms with $500 million in assets under management and above manage 61% of those assets.
"This, obviously, is a huge opportunity," he noted.

Can you please tell me how I rotate a view within paper space? I have used the help function and all I can see is the 'VIEWCTL' command. I have tried to follow the instructions but I can't seem to get it to do anything. In AutoCAD I think the command was called 'MVSETUP' which allowed you to rotate a view by any angle. Does Progecad have a similar command?
Dear Sbeal,
This frequent question has been posted here before. VIEWCTL should be pretty straightforward. It works pretty much as ddvpointwould in AutoCAD.
You simply need to make the viewport active before using it, simply by double-clicking inside of it. For example we have the following in model space:
Switching to Paper Space we see a default single full-page viewport with zero degree rotation. We double click INSIDE the viewport so that the viewport border is highlighted as so:
Next we actually go and fire up VIEWCTL. We will turn the plan view 90 degrees about its normal axis (Z in this case):
Remember to click OK or else the preview will revert back to original orientation. After possible zoom-all and manual panning refocus whist still within the viewport, the result should appear as so:
Remember that you will need to double-click OUTSIDE of the viewport to regain control of general paper space.

secession, in political science, formal withdrawal from an association by a group discontented with the actions or decisions of that association. The term is generally used to refer to withdrawal from a political entity; such withdrawal usually occurs when a territory or state believes itself justified in establishing its independence from the political entity of which it was a part. By doing so it assumes sovereignty.

HOUSTON – After a disappointing 2009, the pressure was on designated player Luis Landin to improve his performance for Houston Dynamo entering this season. Thanks to a full preseason and time to acclimate to his new teammates, Landín's performance is starting to resemble the player the Dynamo saw while he was at Pachuca.
"I started with some injuries, but right now I am well physically and I feel a lot more free and comfortable around my teammates and you see the results," said Landín.
"It's no secret he's in better shape now than when he came here, but he's a good player," noted head coach Dominic Kinnear. "He has great feet, he's good around the box and I think he's finding his way. It is almost his second go-through, with last year being his first, and I think he is figuring things out better the second time around."
In 10 games last year, including the playoffs, Landín registered just one goal. In only eight games this season, Landín has already matched that goal, as well as adding three assists. Furthermore, Landín has also drew an important penalty against Real Salt Lake and has been significantly more dangerous for Houston when he has been on the field.
"The fact that I got to play with [my teammates] in the preseason helped me tremendously," noted Landín. "I've had the opportunity to look at all the forwards play and now I can see all the little things they do to that helps me feed off of them and vice-versa."
Kinnear has taken note of the comfort level between Landín and fellow forward Dominic Oduro.
"Him and Dom seem to be forming a good partnership up there," said Kinnear. "The more consistent they are holding the ball up, the more dangerous they are. And Luis is very good in tight spaces."
The head coach, though, will have some difficulty balancing time between all five Dynamo forwards. Cam Weaver has returned to the team from injury, Joseph Ngwenya received his ITC and Brian Ching was a shock omission from the US Men's National Team.
But with the summer heat in Houston and with a tough schedule for the team ahead, Kinnear noted, "There will be minutes around for everybody."
Landín, though, is not worried about playing time. He believes that the competition between the forwards will help the team, an indication of just how comfortable the Mexican forward has become in Houston.
"Right now the team is well," said Landín. "The fact that we have several forwards keeps a healthy level of competition. I get along well with the other forwards, but we are all competing for a spot. This helps us raise the level of the game and helps us individually as well."
As long as Landín can keep feeling comfortable, there's no question that he'll show this season exactly why Houston brought him in.

Feyyaz Ucar is one of a small group of people who can already claim, even at this early stage of the year, that the coming 12 months will be extraordinary. A former Turkey international striker, Ucar will have the honour of coaching his country's side at the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2013 on home soil.
Full of pride and creative ideas, the 49-year-old is hoping his charges can cause a sensation in their homeland. "It's a huge excitement to host FIFA's second-biggest international event after the World Cup, across seven cities of Turkey, but it also hands us huge responsibility," Ucar told FIFA.com in interview.
The former striker netted 170 goals in 320 appearances for Besiktas and added a further seven in his 25 outings for Turkey. He is therefore well aware of his compatriots' passionate desire to see as many victories as possible.
Consequently, with approximately five months to go before the tournament kicks off on 21 June, Ucar is banking on a combination of self-confidence, will to win and realism. On the one hand, he knows Turkish football has long had the potential to cause a few surprises.
However, that is tempered by the desire to protect his young protégés: "We don't want to put too much stress on the players by setting big targets," said Ucar. "Our primary target is to reach the knockout stage. It will be an important step for us."
Anyone familiar with the Turkish mentality will know exactly what is possible, especially after watching the senior side be carried along by an ever-increasing wave of euphoria to third place at the 2002 FIFA World Cup™ and a semi-final appearance at UEFA EURO 2008.
"Given the determination and talent of our youngsters, we want to go as far as we possibly can," continued Ucar. "If our team can qualify from the group phase, every subsequent match will be played in a final-like atmosphere thanks to the support of our fans." Indeed, should the host nation get into their stride they will surely be extremely difficult to stop.
Preparations for the tournament are in full swing and the U-18, U-19 and U-20 sides played a total of 38 matches last year. On top of that, Ucar points out that his assistant coach Emre Asik, who himself played for Turkey at the FIFA U-20 World Cup Australia 1993, has been telling the players of his "unique experiences" at the competition.
"Nowadays, young players are particularly aware of the importance of appearing in the U-20 World Cup," said Ucar. "As the opening day of the tournament approaches, they are doing their job in a more serious and concentrated way. Being a part of a World Cup finals is not an ordinary thing in a professional footballer's career."
For now though, the sense of anticipation is at the forefront of the coach's mind. "We'll play two of our three group matches in Trabzon and one in Rize. I have been to those two cities many times during my playing days and see the huge passion for football there," said Ucar, who is certain the local fans will get behind their U-20 team. Even now, the coach can hardly wait for the tournament draw to take place on 25 March.
Being a part of a World Cup finals is not an ordinary thing in a professional footballer's career.
However, it would be wrong to assume that the Turkish team is counting solely on home support to drive them forward. Ucar is conscious of the strength in his side. "I have players who are very creative. There are many lads who I can call key players. I think my team will collectively make an impact, not just one or two key players," he explained.
Yet the tactician believes there is still room for improvement. Being able to "think and act more quickly in the game" are of high importance, as is a greater efficiency in front of goal. "If we can get rid of our problems in set pieces, which is a widespread issue in Turkish football, we can aim to win in every game," Ucar stated.
It will be Turkey's third participation at a FIFA U-20 World Cup. At Australia 1993 they did not survive the group stages, with Brazil the eventual winners. Twelve years later Turkey lost to Spain in the last 16, when Argentina went on to take the crown. Alongside Spain and Portugal, Ucar considers both South American heavyweights as favourites this time around too, provided they secure qualification.
"Of course, like in every tournament, there will be surprise packages, which add colour to the event," concluded the coach with a grin. No prizes for guessing which team he would like to see fulfil that role.

VANCOUVER - Minnesota goalie Josh Harding has told the Wild he's feeling a little "off" from medication he takes to fight multiple sclerosis.
The Wild recalled goalie Darcy Kuemper from their AHL affiliate before Tuesday's game in Vancouver.
Harding had a shutout against Dallas but gave up five goals at Detroit and was pulled in the first period Jan. 30 against Chicago after giving up two scores on four shots. Harding was diagnosed with the disease this summer but hadn't experienced any setbacks or complications before now.
General manager Chuck Fletcher told reporters in Vancouver he's pleased Harding was open and honest about his condition. He said Harding he may need some time for his body to adapt to the new medication.
The Wild also reassigned defenceman Marco Scandella to the AHL.

Schools close, sleet falls and thousands lose power as Sandy's wrath strikes Oakland County
Several schools closed, flights were canceled, 20,000 homes and businesses lost electricity due to downed power lines and rain, sleet and snow struck Oakland County in the wake of the killer superstorm Sandy which devastated the Northeastern United States.
WEATHER FORECAST FOR HALLOWEEN: Meteorologist Sara Schultz said showers are likely Wednesday with a high of 44 and low of 36. Skies will turn cloudy Thursday with a high near 48 and low of 35 as the rain departs and party sunny skies return on Friday.
Millions from Maine to the Carolinas awoke Tuesday without power, and an eerily quiet New York City was all but closed off by car, train and air as the superstorm steamed inland, still delivering punishing wind and rain.
The U.S. death toll climbed to at least 38, many of the victims killed by falling trees. No deaths or injuries were reported in Oakland County.
Scott Simons, a DTE Energy spokesman, said some 110,000 utility customers in southeastern Michigan lost power at the height of the storm which came ashore Monday night with hurricane force in New Jersey.
The DTE Energy Outage Map showed outages throughout the county on Tuesday. The area from Dixie Highway and Ortonville Road, stretching northeast to Sashabaw Road, north of Clarkston Road, appeared to have the most outages in the area. More than 3,500 customers in that area, which stretches across I-75, had been without power since 7:46 p.m. Monday.
Orion, Oxford, Rose, Waterford, West Bloomfield, Birmingham, Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms and Franklin also experienced outages, the DTE map showed.
As of mid-Tuesday, 20,000 DTE customers in Oakland County were without power and 80,000 in the state as crews "worked 16-hour shifts" to restore electricity, Simons said.
DTE also released 100 contract lineman to go to the Northeast to try and restore power to some 7.4 million people across the region without electricity, Simons said.
Power was expected to be restored in Michigan by Wednesday.
The highest wind gust of 55 miles per hour in the state was reported at 10:29 p.m. Monday in Port Hope, said Sara Schultz, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in White Lake Township.
In Oakland County, a wind gust of 50 mph was reported in Rochester Hills at 2 a.m. Tuesday.
Hundreds of flights were canceled to and from Detroit Metropolitan Airport Tuesday while some 15,000 flights were grounded worldwide.
There's been no damage to aircraft at the Oakland County International Airport in Waterford.
However, "people who didn't have to fly, didn't fly," a source, who asked not to be named, said. "Activity levels are significantly reduced."
The airport, which has 175 to 200 flights per day, was not expected to return to normal for a day or so. It has no commercial flights and is a general aviation reliever.
Besides downed limbs and power lines "generally all over the county," some schools were closed in Oakland.
Schools closed in Oakland County included Pontiac schools, Clarkston Community Schools, Everest Academy, Beechview Elementary,Everest Collegiate High, Halfman Elementary, Lahser High School, Montessori School of Clarkston, Oakland Christian-Clarkston, Pierce Middle-Waterford and Walnut Creek Middle School.
The storm and havoc along the East Coast also prompted several local companies, including Penske Automotive Group of Bloomfield Hills, Southfield-based Meadowbrook Insurance and Con-Way Inc. of Ann Arbor, to postpone the release of quarterly financial reports. Ford Motor Co. also considered delaying the release of its quarterly financial report but decided to go through with it anyway because investors from around the world were waiting for the information.
The New York Stock Exchange also was closed to floor trading for a second consecutive day on Tuesday. It was set to reopen on Wednesday.
As the trading closure extended, analysts estimated that exchanges and banks were losing tens of millions of dollars in revenues every day.
Meteorologist Schultz said temperatures will fall to 40 Tuesday night with an 80 percent chance of rain. Showers are likely Wednesday with a high of 44 and low of 36. Skies will turn cloudy Thursday with a high near 48 and low of 35 as the rain departs and party sunny skies return on Friday.

Delving into Service-Oriented Architecture
In many respects, SOA is an evolution of the fundamental tenets governing component-based development (CBD). It also represents a quantum leap in bringing business and information technology into closer alignment through a set of SOA services grounded in business goals in support of business processes. While SOA services are visible to the service consumer, their underlying components are transparent. For the service provider, the design of components, their service exposure and management reflect key architecture and design decisions that enable services in SOA. Making these decisions requires an understanding of an SOA's components and SOA modeling to identify, classify, specify, and structure service-enabled components. In this article we briefly discuss the relationship between CBD and SOA, followed by a discussion of SOA architecture and design decisions. We describe the basic SOA components and building blocks, and a prescriptive technique for performing SOA modeling, analysis, and design for services, where services are realized using components.
A brief review of object-oriented (OO) development and CBD will help you understand the evolution of SOA for service-oriented development. The world of objects started with the introduction of object-oriented programming languages and matured into modeling, later adding techniques for design and then maturing into OO analysis and design (OOAD) methods. Infrastructure services, tools, development platforms, patterns, and reference architectures followed.
Component-based development (CBD) ensued, offering a new approach to the design, construction, implementation, and evolution of software applications. Applications are assembled using components from a variety of sources and the components are written in different programming languages and different development environments, and run on different platforms. Just as with OO development, infrastructure services, tools, development platforms, and patterns matured to make CBD a reality.
Both OO and CBD address software economies of scale that require reuse in software development. The achievement economies of scale in software production and deployment have been elusive. Object-oriented development is an enabler, component-based development mandatory. CBD provides an opportunity for greater reuse than what is possible with OO development. SOA, with the underpinnings of both OO development and CBD, provides an even greater opportunity for reuse. SOA becomes a new mandate for achieving economies of scale in software engineering.
Evolution of SOA
The Internet and XML standardization efforts gave way to the need for a service definition and description published by a service provider (SP) that can be located and invoked by a service consumer (SC). The service description can be implemented by a number of service providers, each offering various choices of qualities of service (QoS) based on technical requirements in the areas of availability, performance, scalability, and security. The invocation can be across Internet or intranet in a distributed object connotation and standards such as WSDL and SOAP have been created.
The roles of the SC and the SP are illustrated in Figure 1. Web services standards and technologies pave the way and breathe life into the architectural style of SOA. Infrastructure services in areas of service management and service security are required, along with new technologies to make the economies of scale made possible by SOA a reality.
Figure 1.
SOA is the architectural style that supports loosely coupled services to enable business flexibility in an interoperable, technology-agnostic manner. SOA consists of a composite set of business-aligned services that support a flexible and dynamically re-configurable end-to-end business processes realization using interface-based service descriptions. The inherent, salient advantage of today's service descriptions is the decoupling of the SP and SC through open standards and protocols, and the deferment of implementation decisions from the SC to the SP. Moreover, individual or collections of services that enjoy various levels of granularity can be combined and choreographed to produce "new" composite services that not only introduce new levels of reuse but also allow the dynamic reconfiguration of business systems.
Hence, service-oriented development, which SOA enables, is an evolutionary software engineering approach enabled by component-based and object-oriented development. However, the incredibly potent fusion of business and IT is a quantum leap. The flexibility of binding an SC to a new SP, based on changing QoS needs and the stability of interactions through SD publication, and its invocation through standard protocols is a prerequisite for an architecture where flexibility and economies of scale are the primary movers.
SOA encourages the closure of the business-IT gap by emphasizing the reuse of rationalized, normalized services and introducing flexibility that allows end-to-end business process modeling and implementation. This flexibility arises through the ensuing ability to choreograph existing composite services at near real time, i.e., "right-time", using business analyst tools, such as IBM's WebSphere Business Integration (WBI) BPEL modeler.
Component-Based Development and Service-Oriented Architecture
The concepts and disciplines of OO development and CBD should be applied to provide the appropriate frameworks guiding the design and development of SOA services.
Multiple, possibly competing, service providers often realize a service description. The services, in turn, need to be "powered" by a functional piece, or pieces, of software that lends itself to a component-based view of the world. Within components we can find the design principles of object-orientation defining the internal structures of components. Thus, service modeling is about identifying the right services, organizing them in a manageable hierarchy of composite services (smaller grained often supported larger grained), choreographing them together for supporting a business process. On the provider side, these services are either allocated directly to component-based containers for realization of their functionality, or realized by adapting existing legacy functionality.
This is the fundamental evolution in service-oriented software engineering: the service consumer doesn't have to be concerned with the implementation or realization of the service, as long as it supports the required functionality and quality of service. This is called the Consumer View. Alternatively, the Provider View offers a perspective on how to design the realization of the component that offers the services; its architectural decisions and designs.
One key differentiation with more traditional OO is in the fact that we are no longer creating large object models, but rather designing the internals of larger-grained, business-aligned component boundaries, through finer-grained object-orientation.
SOA introduces two views on components and services: the service consumer and the service provider (see Figure 2).

I thought this would get a good miscellaneous thread to catch all those interesting stories about news worthy Mormon that aren't interesting enough for their own threads.
I'll start. A member of my stake presidency (attorney) and a member of one of the bishoprics within the stake (judge) are making the news after both having removed themselves from a big insurance case. Why? The prosecution objected due to the fact that the attorney would have influence over the judge due to his elevated church status.
Does this happen in Utah much?

The 2 User Metrics That Matter for SEOBlog Post: February 22, 2012
Hi Dan,
I tested it on a series of different domains, ranging from low end Made-For-Adsense or thin affiliate sites, right through to websites of some of the largest Danish newspapers and national television channels. And the "dwell time" didn't change.
I also ran tests from different computers, IPs, browsers, logged in vs. logged out, whether the site used Google Analytics or not, and tried to visit more pages onsite if they used GA - and none of it made a difference. I also tested if changed anything to click on more results from the same SERP page. And the threshold remained the same for the second and third click.
Hi Pete and Dan,
I have actually done a test on "dwell time", as you call it.
My data (based on way too many searches and too much time spend with a watch to time it) from google.dk showed a dwell time of 1 min 40 sec (or a 100 seconds). The dwell time and possibility to block a domain remained unchanged, regardless of browser, logged in or not etc.
I wrote a blog post about it on my Danish blog here. I have thought about writing an English version of my findings, but haven't found the time yet.
But anyway, there you go. You have to keep your visitors from bouncing back to SERPs within the first 100 seconds of their visit.

Prior to today's rubber game against the Brewers, the Pirates placed RHP Chad Qualls on the DL with irritation in his right big toe. The move makes room on the active roster for relief pitcher Hisanori Takahashi who was claimed on waivers from Los Angeles on Friday. In 42 IP for the Angels, the lefty put up a 4.93 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 8.8 K/9.
Also from Friday, Yamaico Navarro was optioned to AAA and 1B Jeff Clement was called up. Clement struck out as a pinch hitter in his first major league at bat since 2010 and is getting the start at first base today.

Slowing Down Drew Brees & the Saints With the 3-3-5
>> 12.01.2011
With the suspension of Ndamukong Suh, the Detroit Lions are down one starting interior lineman. With injuries to Louis Delmas, Chris Houston and Brandon McDonald, the Lions may be down two starters and one contributor in the secondary. Now, they face the No. 1 passing offense in the NFL: Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.
How can the Lions hope to slow down the lightning-fast Saints without their best interior pass rusher and a banged-up secondary? The answer may lie in a package the Lions deployed on Thanksgiving: the 3-3-5 nickel.
The Lions have used this formation a few times before, most extensively in their first win under Jim Schwartz. Gunther Cunningham's talk about it during his first minicamp as Lions DC helped fuel speculation the Lions would run a base 3-4. Here's how it looks:
The four square boxes are the three nickel cornerbacks, along with safety Amari Spievey. They're playing tight man-to-man coverage on the three Packers wideouts, as well as tight end Jermichael Finley. Louis Delmas is playing one-high zone, lined up deep off camera.
Kyle Vanden Bosch stays put at right defensive end, but 330-pound Sammie Hill is in at the zero-technique nose tackle. Suh is playing LDE. Behind them are the Lions' base linebackers: MLB Stephen Tulloch, and OLBs DeAndre Levy and Justin Durant.
The down and distance here is 3rd-and-3, so the Lions are trying to force a quick incompletion. Let's watch what happens:
The Lions blitz all three linebackers, bringing a total of six rushers. The Packers send Finley out but keep RB John Kuhn in to block, for a total of six blockers. The Packers do establish a pocket, but QB Aaron Rodgers knows he doesn't have all day. He throws the short out to Greg Jennings, and the tight coverage forces him to lead Jennings to the sideline rather than downfield. Even if Jennings had been able to keep his feet, Eric Wright was there to help prevent the first down.
This is a very aggressive play call, but it's perfect for the situation, and would be effective against the Saints' many multi-WR sets.
In different situations, the Lions could blitz two, one or none; this would allow for a variety of zone and man-coverage packages. Defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham could also do some clever stuff with safety and zone blitzes. By platooning Durant (an outstanding run stopper) with Bobby Carpenter (much better in coverage), the Lions could further tailor this package to suit non-nickel situations.
The onus would be on the defensive line to continue to bring pressure and maintain outside run containment, but the Lions' depth will help them there. Sammie Hill and Corey Williams could platoon at the two-gap nose tackle spot, with DTs Nick Fairley and Andre Fluellen at left end. Vanden Bosch and Cliff Avril could platoon at RDE, though asking Avril to fill two run lanes might be asking too much.
Running the 3-3-5 for 40 or 50 snaps would give Brees time to figure out the looks and attack the deep coverage, especially if the Lions need to blitz two or more players to get pressure.
But, if the Lions are to have a chance, they'll need to avoid what happened the last time they went to the Superdome at all costs: two Saints touchdowns in the first few minutes, leading to a 47-25 blowout. Running a lot of 3-3-5 early, with a lot of blitzing and confusion, could keep the Saints off-balance enough to give Matthew Stafford—and the Lions—a chance.

Volleyball- A History Not Too Old
Volleyball is one of the most popular sports in the world that draws attention of sports buffs across the globe. Seeing its not too old history, game's popularity around the globe seems incredible. This sport is barely one hundred and ten year old and has already gone through various stages of evolution.
The history begins with Mr. G. Morgan developing the initial form of the sport in 1895. He termed the game, "Mintonette". This sport originally aimed at providing entertainment to the businessmen. The birthplace of volleyball was Masachussetts where Morgan used to work, in Holyoke. Though the game was new in itself, Morgan combined various facets of other sports to make it playable. Net was introduced from tennis, although it's height was raised above the height of the normal man. Some other ideas were taken from baseball.
The credit of the present name of the game goes to a spectator. While watching one such game, the spectator commented that game is all about volleying the ball. That was the day when this game was christened again as Volleyball.
It took one year for the first official game to be played in 1896. The venue was Springfield College. Then onwards the sport never looked back. By 1900, a new ball was specifically made to suit the sport. The year also witnessed the sport getting trans national as YMCA took the volleyball to Canada and South America. Within four to five years, Cuba also became a host to the game.
Within twelve years of its birth, volleyball was declared as one of the most popular sport at play America convention. By 1913, the sport registered an entry in Eastern game events. A new thing was introduced in the game at Philippines in 1916. It was the introduction of spike and set pass in the game. The term "Bomba" and "Bomberino" for kill and the hitter was also a contribution of Filipinos. Later, scoring points were also reduced to 15 from 21.
A few years later sixteen thousand volleyballs were distributed to army men by American Expeditionary Forces, resulting in a surge in the popularity of the sport. By 1928, American Volleyball Association was ready to organize tournaments. Men's open was kick started in US. In 1934, the sport witnessed introduction of referees. It took six more years to facilitate way for World Championship in the sport. The sport registered its birth in Olympic in 1964. Growing popularity among women gave way to Women's professional Volleyball Association.
This fascinating journey of Volleyball is on and still moving. Seeing its growing acceptance, it is likely to scale new heights in the history of sports.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian troops took over Crimea as the parliament in Moscow gave President Vladimir Putin a green light Saturday to use the military to protect Russian interests in Ukraine. The newly installed government in Kiev was powerless to react to the action by Russian troops based in the strategic region and more flown in, aided by pro-Russian Ukrainian groups.
Putin sought and quickly got his parliament's approval to use its military to protect Russia's interests across Ukraine. But while sometimes-violent pro-Russian protests broke out Saturday in a number of Russian-speaking regions of eastern Ukraine, Moscow's immediate focus appeared to be Crimea.
Tensions increased when Ukraine's acting president, Oleksandr Turchynov, made a late night announcement that he had ordered the country's armed forces to be at full readiness because of the threat of "potential aggression."
Speaking live on Ukrainian TV, Turchynov he had also ordered stepped up security at nuclear power plants, airports and other strategic infrastructure.
Ignoring President Barack Obama's warning Friday that "there will be costs" if Russia intervenes militarily, Putin sharply raised the stakes in the conflict over Ukraine's future evoking memories of Cold War brinkmanship.
After Russia's parliament approved Putin's motion, U.S. officials held a high-level meeting at the White House to review Russia's military moves in Ukraine. The defense secretary, CIA director and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff were among those in attendance. The U.N. Security Council held a closed-door meeting for the second consecutive day to discuss the current situation in Ukraine.
"Russia and the West find themselves on the brink of a confrontation far worse than in 2008 over Georgia," Dmitri Trenin, the director of Carnegie Moscow Center, said in a commentary posted on its website. In Georgia, the Russian troops quickly routed the Georgian military after they tried to regain control over the separatist province of South Ossetia that has close ties with Moscow.
The latest moves followed days of scripted, bloodless turmoil on the peninsula, the scene of centuries of wars and seen by Moscow as a crown jewel of the Russian and Soviet empires. What began Thursday with the early-morning takeover of the regional parliament building by mysterious troops continued Saturday afternoon as dozens of those soldiers — almost certainly Russian — moved into the streets around the parliamentary complex and seized control of regional airports, amid street protests by pro-Russian Crimeans calling for Moscow's protection from the new government in Kiev.
That government came to power last week in the wake of months of pro-democracy protests against the now-fugitive president, Viktor Yanukovych, and his decision to turn Ukraine toward Russia, its longtime patron, instead of the European Union. Despite the calls for Moscow's help, there has been no sign of ethnic Russians facing attacks in Crimea or elsewhere in Ukraine.
Obama on Friday called on Russia to respect the independence and territory of Ukraine and not try to take advantage of its neighbor's political upheaval.
He said such action by Russia would represent a "profound interference" in matters he said should be decided by the Ukrainian people. He has not said, however, how the U.S. could pressure Moscow to step back from its intervention.
The Russian parliament urged that Moscow recall its ambassador in Washington in response to Obama's speech.
On Friday, Ukraine accused Russia of a "military invasion and occupation" in the Crimea, where Russia's Black Sea fleet is based. Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk called on Moscow "to recall their forces, and to return them to their stations," according to the Interfax news agency. "Russian partners, stop provoking civil and military resistance in Ukraine."
Ukraine's population of 46 million is divided in loyalties between Russia and Europe, with much of western Ukraine advocating closer ties with the European Union while eastern and southern regions look to Russia for support. Crimea, a semi-autonomous region that Russia gave to Ukraine in the 1950s, is mainly Russian-speaking.
In his address to parliament, Putin said the "extraordinary situation in Ukraine" was putting at risk the lives of Russian citizens and military personnel stationed at the Crimean naval base that Moscow has maintained since the Soviet collapse.
Despite Putin's sharp move, there were possible signs Saturday that the Russian leader could soften his approach. Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who was freed a week ago after more than 2 ½ years in prison, was reported to be heading to Moscow for a meeting with Putin on Monday. Putin has had good ties with Tymoshenko in the past, and he may look to her for a possible compromise.
In a statement posted on her party's web site, Tymoshenko urged the U.N. Security Council to meet in Kiev and asked the EU leaders to convene a meeting in Crimea. She urged the West to help protect Ukraine's territorial integrity, asked Ukrainians to remain calm and voiced hope that diplomacy will succeed.
In a note of restraint, Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin said the motion doesn't mean the president would immediately send additional troops to Ukraine. "There is no talk about it yet," he said.
Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, also said in televised remarks that while the president "got the entire arsenal of means necessary for settling this situation," he hadn't yet decided whether to use the Russian military in Ukraine or recall the ambassador from Washington as lawmakers suggested.
Putin's motion loosely refers to the "territory of Ukraine" rather than specifically to Crimea, raising the possibility that Moscow could use military force in other Russian-speaking areas in eastern and southern Ukraine, where many detest the new authorities in Kiev.
Pro-Russian protests were reported Saturday in the eastern cities of Kharkiv, Donetsk and Luhansk and the southern port of Odessa. In Kharkiv, 97 people were injured in clashes between pro-Russia demonstrators who flushed supporters of the new Ukrainian government out of the regional government building and hoisted the Russian flag on top of it, according to the Interfax news agency.
Trenin, of Moscow's Carnegie office, said that Putin could be seeking to "include a Crimea within the Russian Federation and eastern and southern regions of Ukraine forming a separate entity integrated with Russia economically and aligned with it politically."
"It is not clear at this point whether Kiev will be left to build a rump Ukraine with the western regions or whether it will be swayed to join the eastern regions," he wrote.
In Crimea, the new pro-Russian prime minister — who came to power after the gunmen swept into parliament on Thursday — claimed control of the military and police and asked Putin for help in keeping peace. There was no visible presence of Ukrainian troops Saturday.
The deputy premier in the Crimean government told Russian news agency RIA Novsti that Ukrainian troops were disarmed and others joined the Crimean people to help patrol the territory. The report couldn't immediately be confirmed.
Crimean Tatars, the historic hosts of the land who make up 12 percent of the island's population and stand strongly for Crimea remaining part of Ukraine, didn't put any visible resistance Saturday.
"The last two or three days have turned around the life of all the people in Crimea," said Refat Chubarov, a Crimean Tatar leader. "They've taken over military bases and civil institutions. That's why Crimean society is filled with fear. People are afraid of everyone and everything."
Crimea only became part of Ukraine in 1954 when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev transferred jurisdiction from Russia, a move that was a mere formality when both Ukraine and Russia were part of the Soviet Union. The Soviet breakup in 1991 meant Crimea landed in an independent Ukraine.
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt summed the situation up simply: "What's happening in Crimea is a Russian takeover. There is no doubt about that," he told Swedish Radio. "Russian military forces are involved and there has been a local takeover of power."
Russia put pressure on Ukraine from another direction when a spokesman for state gas company Gazprom said that Ukraine owed $1.59 billion in overdue bills for imported gas. Sergei Kuprianov said in a statement carried by Russian news wires that the gas arrears would endanger a recent discount granted by Russia.
The Russian payment demand and loss of the discount would accelerate Ukraine's financial crisis. The country is almost broke and seeking emergency credit from the International Monetary Fund.
The tensions barely touched everyday life in Simferopol, the regional capital of Crimea, or anywhere on the peninsula. Children played on swings a few blocks from the parliament building, and most of the city's stores were open. Couples walked hand-in-hand through parks. Crimea's airports — civilian and military — were closed to air traffic, but trains and cars were moving to and from the Ukrainian mainland.
"Things are normal," said Olga Saldovskaia, who was walking through town with her son and grandson. While she doesn't like having gunmen in the streets, like many people in this overwhelmingly ethnic Russian city, she also found their presence reassuring.
"If anyone tries to hurt the people here, they will protect us," said Saldovskaia. She said she sympathized with the pro-democracy protesters in Kiev, but also worries that turmoil in the capital could lead to violence against ethnic Russians. She added, though, that she definitely doesn't want Crimea to become part of Russia.
"Russia is not just all flowers and candy," she said.
Moscow has remained silent on claims that Russian troops are already in control of much of the peninsula, saying any troop movements are within agreed-upon rules governing the semi-autonomous Ukrainian region.
Meanwhile, flights remained halted at Simferopol's airport. Dozens of armed men in military uniforms without markings patrolled the area. They didn't stop or search people leaving or entering the airport, and refused to talk to journalists.
AP journalists crossing into Crimea from mainland Ukraine were briefly stopped at a checkpoint manned by troops in unmarked camouflage uniforms as well officers in uniforms of the Berkut, the feared riot police that cracked down on anti-Yanukovych protesters before he fled the capital a week ago.

When the Federal Communications Commission gave the green light to "white space" devices—unlicensed wireless gadgets that can create broadband connections in prime, unused television bands—it also required these services to use a geolocation system to determine whether a specific TV frequency is in use in that location. The system will constantly update a database of all TV signals and unlicensed devices.
In November 2009, the Commission posted a "help wanted" sign for white space database administrators. Lots of companies applied. Yesterday, the agency announced the winners: Comsearch, Frequency Finder, Google, KB Enterprises LLC and LS Telcom, Key Bridge Global LLC, Neustar, Spectrum Bridge, Telcordia Technologies, and WSdb LLC.
You'll note Google's presence among the appointed. This decision was not without controversy, since the company has been a huge booster for white space technology, and may well produce white space hardware itself. In fact, Key Bridge, one of the other appointees, raised this concern.
"Google is a prospective manufacturer of TV band devices," the Commission acknowledged, "and as a database administrator it would be able to collect information such as the make, model, serial number, location and ownership of competitors' equipment."
But while the FCC sympathized with this worry, it admitted Google to the team anyway:
While it is true that the company would be collecting certain information about competitors' products, the same basic concern applies to all other database administrators as they could make that same information available to manufacturers of TV bands devices. To address this industry-wide concern, we prohibit all database administrators from using the information collected to engage in anti-competitive practices, either by using the information themselves or providing it to third parties. We will oversee the continued database developmental work to ensure that all database administrators comply with requirements in the rules to make service available to all TV bands device users on a non-discriminatory basis.
Now all of these participants must send their respective staff to an FCC white space "database camp," which will be run by the agency's Office of Engineering and Technology. The OET will host a series of workshops for standardizing the database process and will make final decisions on all sticky questions. OET will also set up a webpage to post information about database-related matters.
The first such workshop is scheduled for March 10, 2011 at the FCC's laboratory in Columbia, Maryland. And in case any of the winners didn't notice it the first time, the Order repeats the privacy/competition warning for good measure:
"Database administrators must agree that they will not use their capacity as a database manager to engage in any discriminatory or anti-competitive practices or any practices that may compromise the privacy of users."
With this key piece of the white space ecosystem finally nailed down, the much-delayed devices can finally move forward on their slow journey to market.

Police searched car-to-car on Sunday night near the Northridge Fashion Center on a report of a sighting of an ex-LAPD officer suspected in an alleged revenge plot in a case of mistaken identity.
Police responded to two separate calls about 3:30 p.m. from people reporting seeing someone who possibly resembled Christopher Dorner inside of a Lowe's home improvement store and in the parking lot near Corbin Avenue and Nordhoff Street, police said.
Police evacuated the store and conducted a search. Authorities also ran vehicle license plates on the white sedan believed to be connected to the man who was mistaken for Dorner.

Officers called the man and determined he had left with another person. The man did not know there was a search, let alone for him, police said.
Police were taking every precaution as they receive reports of people seeing Dorner, the subject of a multi-state manhunt, wanted in connection the fatal shootings of three people, including a police officer.
"When it comes to this case we leave no stone unturned," said LAPD Lt. Ahmad Zarekami.
Police cordoned off neighborhoods and briefly locked down the store, not letting anyone out nor anyone in, police said.
The lockdown and search was seen mostly as precautionary as officials are receiving many reports from people claiming they've seen someone who looks like Dorner, a 270-pound, 6-foot former Navy officer.
More than a dozen officers remained at the scene as of 8 p.m.
