Josep Maria Bartomeu i Floreta
Josep Maria Bartomeu i Floreta was born in Barcelona on February 6th, 1963 and became a Club member on April 20th, 1974. Bartomeu, who at the time was the Vice President of FC Barcelona, became President on January 23rd, 2014, after the resignation of then-President Sandro Rosell. Bartomeu's mandate was then revalidated on July 18th, 2015, when his candidacy won the Club's presidential election with almost 55% of the vote, far more than the other three candidates. The 2015 election had participation of 43.12% (47,270 votes from a voter roll of 109,637 members), the third-highest level of participation in FC Barcelona history. Bartomeu received 25,823 votes (54.63% of those cast). The other three candidates received the following votes: Joan Laporta, former President of the Club between 2003 and 2010, received 15,615 votes (33.03%); Agustí Benedito received 3,386 votes (7.17%); and Toni Freixa received 1,750 votes (3.70%).
Before becoming President, Bartomeu had held several high-level positions at FC Barcelona. Between 2003 and 2005 he led the handball and basketball sections. Then, following the 2010 election, he returned to the Club as the Vice President of Sports, a position which he held until 2014. It was during this stage that FC Barcelona won the fourth Champions League title in Club history, its second Club World Cup, two La Liga titles, a European Super Cup and a Copa del Rey, among others.
Since Josep Maria Bartomeu has been the President of FC Barcelona, the Club's professional teams have continued with their success despite having faced such difficult moments as the death of head coach Tito Vilanova. Luis Enrique was then chosen to lead the team, and Luis Suárez, who landed at Camp Nou as the reigning Golden Shoe winner, strengthened the forward line. In recent seasons, Barça has won numerous titles, including the second treble in Club history when the 2014/15 squad conquered La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the UEFA Champions League after defeating Juventus, 3–1, in that year's final in Berlin. Barça followed up that effort by winning four more titles in the 2015/16 season, taking home the UEFA Super Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup, and a domestic double of La Liga and the Copa del Rey. In the 2016/17 season, Barça won the Copa del Rey for the third consecutive year.
Ahead of the 2017/18 season, and after manager Luis Enrique did not renew his contract with the Club, FC Barcelona signed head coach Ernesto Valverde, who played for Barça between 1988 and 1990.
Institutionally, President Bartomeu has promoted an ambitious Strategic Plan for the period that runs from 2015 through 2021, with the objective of making Barça the most admired, beloved, and global sports institution, a plan which includes an annual revenue goal of €1bn by 2021. Among the most important elements of the Strategic Plan are the Barcelona Innovation Hub project, which aims to make the Club a global center for knowledge and sports innovation, and the Masia 360 project, which aims to provide education to all the Club's athletes.
Another project which has been undertaken by President Bartomeu is the construction of Espai Barça, a project approved by the Club's members in a referendum held on April 5th, 2014, with 27,616 votes for and 9,589 votes against. The Espai Barça plan calls for the renovation of Camp Nou, the construction of a new Palau Blaugrana, the radical transformation of the Stadium's surroundings, and building a new Miniestadi at the Club's training facility in Sant Joan Despí, all with a budget of €600m. A team of architects, formed by the firms Nikken Sekkei and Pascual-Ausió, was put in charge of the Camp Nou renovation project after winning a competition held in 2016.
Consistent with the Club's goal of expanding globally, an objective that is included in the Strategic Plan, FC Barcelona opened an office in New York City on September 6th, 2016. The move has reinforced Barça's globalization efforts and is a fundamental business link for securing new revenues. With the addition of the New York office to the one the Club opened in Hong Kong in October of 2013, FC Barcelona has bolstered its global presence with ongoing operations 24 hours a day. All of these efforts allowed the Club to earn €914m in the 2017/18 season, the highest figure in its history.

From One On One Lessons to College Senior and Free Agent Specialist's Kicking Combines:
The Evolution of Coach Zauner's PRO Development Camps
The Evolution of Coach Zauner's PRO Development Camps
Coach Gives Instruction to January Kicking Specialists in Phoenix, AZ
Coach Zauner, LLC Starts With One on One Lessons:
When I first started Coach Zauner, LLC in 2007, I was only giving One on One Kicking, Punting and Snapping Lessons. My goal was to expose as many college seniors, free agents, and PRO specialists to Coach Zauner's coaching philosophy of teaching 'A Natural Style of Kicking and Punting'.
My coaching and teaching philosophy had led to my success early in my career as a kicking coach consultant, and later as an 11 year college and 13 year NFL Special Teams Coordinator with the Vikings, Ravens, and Cardinals. I hoped that this would also lead to success in helping young aspiring kicking, punting, and snapping specialists.
I then decided during my retirement years that I wanted to give back to kicking and the game of football that had given me so much enjoyment, satisfaction and memories. I wanted to offer the opportunity for kicking specialists to get exposed to Coach Zauner's 'Natural Style of Kicking and Punting' to find out if it would work for them.
First, I researched kicking camps and kicking instructors. The lists went on and they seemed to be everywhere across the country. There were several names that I had not heard of as well. Also, several of these kicking instructors were still coaching specialists from the old school manual or coaching them they same way they were coached growing up.
Although I have coached, consulted or had been associated with now 20 PRO Bowl Specialists throughout my career, most young high school and underclass college kicking specialists going through kicking camps and showcase combines had never heard of Coach Zauner.
My dream then went from coaching in the NFL to giving many younger specialists an opportunity to take their kicking games to the next level and achieve their dream goal to play professional football by using my coaching and teaching philosophy that had worked so well for me in my coaching career.
My dream then went from coaching in the NFL to giving many younger specialists an opportunity to take their kicking games to the next level and achieve their dream goal to play professional football by using my coaching and teaching philosophy that had worked so well for me in my coaching career.
Idea for College Senior and Free Agent Specialist's Kicking Combines:
In 2008, while attending the NFL Combine, I went to the NFL special teams coaches dinner to honor the Special Teams Super Bowl Coach of the year, who also pays for the meal. During this time, all of the Special Teams Coordinators and their assistant coaches talk about who's attending free agent kicking combines in the spring and who's going where.
Houston Texans Special Teams Coordinator, Joe Marciano, one of the senior Special Teams Coaches, who was running the meeting, turned around and asked me why I wouldn't organize and run a combine because I know what NFL coaches want and look for in kicking specialists. I figured then, with the endorsement and backing of current NFL coaches, I could be successful. After going home and consulting with my wife Michelle, we decided to move forward with our game plan.
Next, upon request from a group of NFL Special Teams Coaches, I started my College Senior and Free Agent Specialist's Combines 'A Field of Dreams' to not only help professional coaches discover free agent talent but also give deserving specialists exposure to NFL, CFL, UFL Special Teams Coaches and Pro Personnel Directors.
The secret to Coach Zauner's first Free Agent Specialist's Kicking Combine was networking, contacts and good talent. In 2009, 41 specialists qualified for the Free Agent Combine and 17 of them signed NFL and CFL contracts. Billy Cundiff, a free agent at the time, rebooted his career in front of 26 NFL teams. Billy is now with the Baltimore Ravens and earned 2011 PRO Bowler honors. Billy's agent, Paul Sheehy, was the man responsible for getting Billy to attend this combine.
Success breeds more success! Some of the specialists that were taking One on One Lessons and also doing well at my kicking combines were also signing NFL, CFL and UFL contracts. The word was spreading amongst specialists, agents, and coaches alike. Although each year the number of specialists trying to qualify for my combines increased, the key to success was to keep the number of participants low and the quality of specialists high for the attending NFL, CFL, and UFL Coaches and Scouts.
Why? PRO Development Camps:
Drew Butler (U. of Georgia) wins the Ray Guy Award and Rob Maver (U. of Guelph / Calgary Stampeders) becomes a First Round Pick in the Canadian Draft. Both took One on One Lessons and attended Coach Zauner's first and trial PRO Development Camps at Macalester College in 2010. Snapper, Morgan Cox (U. of Tennessee / Baltimore Ravens) and Kicker, Nick Novak (U. of Maryland / NFL Veteran Kicker) were also in attendance.
The word was spreading down throughout the college and now into the high school ranks. Thank goodness for Google and Facebook!
Morgan Cox Works Perfect Laces Drill with Drew Butler
As more college underclassmen and high school specialists began to request One on One Lessons, I needed another avenue to satisfy top college and free agent specialists in getting them their individualized lessons. While some of these specialists, families, and agents could afford One on One Lessons, there were also some that could not.
So, Coach Zauner, LLC moved forward from a 2010 trial to a series of 2011 PRO Development Kicking Camps while keeping the idea of quality instruction and not quantity of campers in mind during each kicking camp.
My PRO Development Kicking Camps now provide college and free agent specialists Coach Zauner One on One type instruction in a small group camp environment at a more affordable fee. The three (3) day weekend camps at $575.00 included hotel accommodations and food. These PRO Development Kicking Camps now take place in different locations (Phoenix and Milwaukee) and times (January, May and July) for specific reasons.
Participants Benefit From January and May Camps in Phoenix, Arizona:
Fabrizio Scaccia (No College) Prepares For Training Camp - Signed with S.F. 49ers
Reid Forrest (Washington State) Prepares For NFL Combine - Signed with Buffalo Bills
John Gold (U. of Texas) Prepares for College Senior Combine - Signed with Seattle Seahawks
Nathan Whitaker (Stanford University) Prepares for Tryouts - Signed By Minnesota Vikings
Change in Camp Structure:
Coach Zauner's PRO Development Kicking Camps were started for two reasons. My first goal was to give specialists a chance to work with me that could not afford One on One Kicking Punting or Snapping Lessons. The second goal was to design a limited small group camp that would still offer specialists a lot of individual Coach Zauner coaching or a One on One coaching atmosphere, while also providing competition.
This year, I decided to divide the Punters and Snappers into one camp and Kickers and Kickoff Specialists in another in order to reinforce this concept. Also, by keeping the number of kicking specialists limited, it helps young men coming through to develop new friendships and measure the competition if they are pursuing 'A Specialist's Path To PRO Football'.
Since 2007, the goal of Coach Zauner, LLC is for One on One Lessons, PRO Development Camps, College Senior and Free Agent Specialist's Combines to provide kicking, punting, snapping specialists at all levels 'A Specialist's Path To PRO Football', and it seems to be working in all phases of Coach Zauner's kicking programs!

Cromwell's Protectorate
- Created by: Emily Bradburn
- Created on: 23-05-15 16:34
Cromwell and Parliament
- Cromwell wanted a settlement through parliament- but a traditional parliament would not support Cromwell's other aim, a godly reformation. The aim of a godly reformation reinforced his reliance on the army.
- Tension was created over the extent of religious toleration e.g. Nayler Crisis and John Biddle. OC didn't want to intervene and let parliament decide the outcome of the Biddle case, although Cromwell was very lenient with the fine.
- Parliament focused on attacking the Instrument and said that they would be the ones who would determine religious toleration. Their conservatism annoyed many including Cromwell.
- The Biddle case and the further attacks on the Instrument and the Protectorate were what caused OC to disslolve the First Protectorate Parliament after 5 lunar months.
Cromwell and Kingship
- Conservatives wanted a more traditional settlement than the Protectorate and wanted to offer Cromwelll the crown- OC was drawn to the idea noticing the advantages that it would bring
ADVANTAGES- more recognised form of goverment for the gentry, establish a line of succession, achieve a settlement with parliament
DISADVANTAGES- provoke more vigorous oppostion from royalists, republicans, members of the NMA and military cromwellians
- Hutton- suggests that the army opposition was a very important factor in disuading OC from taking the crown
- Army opposition meant that God disapproved of OC taking the crown, which is what stopped him
Republican Opposition to the Protectorate
- Opposition was centred around the Protectorate, they saw the rump as the ideal settlement where parliament ruled
- They saw the protectorate as a shift to kingship, and the offer of the crown to Cromwell confirmed this for them
- Managing parliament was harder because Cromwell wanted them to lead the nation to a settlement, not him- many saw OC as unwilling to work with a parliament
- Republicans were concerned with: the ability for OC to enact Ordinances when parliament weren't in session, the control of the militia and the reduction of the armed forces
Second Protectorate Parliament 1656
- Cromwell, the Council and the major-generals used power of exclusion to exclude some members of parliament who were not men of integrity- 60 MPs were excluded
- The exclusions initially helped with the co-operation between Cromwell and Parliament and allowed them to work on the war against Spain and progress with legislation
- However, this good start stopped once the Humble Petition became dominant in parliament- this highlighted and exaggerated the tensions between the 'military' and 'civillian' cromwellians
Republicans, Kingship and the Humble Petition and
- Republicans naturally opposed the plan to make OC king- proposed by the civillian cromwellians
- Despite Cromwell's refusal to take the crown, his acceptance of the rest of the Humble Petition reinforced the idea that Cromwell was 'King in all but name'
- Humble Petition inluded the addition of an Upper House- a second chamber similar to the House of Lords (which was abolished along with the monarchy by the Rump in 1649)
- Republicans organised a petition in order to get army support- circulated the petition through the army and London. Deliberately made the petition broad so that it would appeal to everyone except the royalists and the Fifth Monarchists
- Cromwell dissolved parliament on the day the petition was to be presented 1658- this made OC successful in weakening the position of the Republicans
- Cromwell was more concerned with the impact of opposition on the army rather than the threat that they posed.
Royalist Opposition and Assassination Plots
SEALED KNOT (founded in 1653)
A conservative and cautious group- cautious because only Charles Stuart and the Hyde-Ormond faction knew of their plans.
They were being cautious because of the disasterous attempts that had been made previously to assassinate Cromwell or kidnap him in 1654- stopped by Thurloe.
However Charles Stuart broke the Sealed Knot by telling the Earl of Rochester to raise and command royalist troops in England- Thurloe was aware of the plan.
Royalist uprising in Devon under John Penruddock (local man), never numbered more than a few hundred men and was stopped by a small cavalry. Penruddock was executed in May 1655
Work of the ex-leveller and ex-NMA Edward Sexby, who developed links with the royalists in the 1650s. Sexby selected Miles Sindercombe to assassinate OC who was also an ex-member of the army.
The original plan was to shoot OC but it had to be changed due to protection, the next plan involved blowing him up but Sindercombe's associate informed Thurloe who put a stop to the assassination.
Military Opposition- Three Colonel's Petition 1654
- Colonel Alured, Saunders and Okey
- Lambert told those who didn't agree with the Instrument to leave their commands
- Petition denounced the protectorate and called for a return to 'the good old cause'
- The army opposed the Instrument because of how much power was given to the Protector in regards to overruling parliament- they feared that Cromwell's successor would try to destroy parliament using the army (they thought it would be Lambert)
- Accused Lambert of being in charge of changing too much
- Admiral Lawson sent the petition around his sailors and was a leading figure in trying to create an alliance between the republicans and the fifth monarchists.
- fifth monarchists regarded the protectorate as a betrayl of the godly- although there was no rising, Cromwell was attacked in print 1655.
The Army and Kingship
- Army opposition was the most significant
- Cromwell's indecision on whether to accept the crown drove a wedge between him and Lambert- this is because the civillian part of the Humble petition would overwrite Lambert's Instrument
- Little (2007)- the petition 'witnessed an unprecedented assertion of parliament's powers within a written constitution'
- Most at the time regarded Lambert as the leader of the army's opposition to kingship, and many believe that this is what disuaded Cromwell from accepting the crown.
- Cromwell's regiment remained a concern therefore Cromewell confronted those whose republicanism meant that they opposed the protectorate- after a few days he dismissed Packer (who stood in for OC as he had other duties) and five other members who didn't change their mind about the protectorate.

Sunday morning, while in NC, I was hoping to take my mom for a walk either in or near the woods and asked Jason if he knew of any mild trails. He recommended the one near the Greenway park. This park is amazing and has a river and woods nearby, so I thought, perfect!
Well, it was more like Lake Hollingsworth… It had zero shade and although it is about ten degrees cooler in NC it was still blazing by midday. We enjoyed (somewhat) are walk and enjoyed even more the a/c when we got back in the car. On our way back to the car, I heard these moms talking about a swim diaper, but really a cloth diaper and I turned and saw a cutie in a cloth diaper! Have yet to see this in Lakeland, so I was thrilled! The park has a section like Barnett Park with the fountains coming up out of the ground. We will certainly be going there this Summer.
Here are a few pics from our walk:

Sofia Vergara (who, earlier today, graced a pulpy new poster for Robert Rodriguez's Machete Kills) is eyeing a leading role opposite Jason Statham in Simon West's upcoming Heat, Variety reports.
A remake of the 1987 feature film that starred Burt Reynolds, Heat is being written by two-time Oscar winner William Goldman, who also wrote the original screenplay of the 1987 version, based on his own novel.
The action-thriller tells the story of a tough recovering gambling addict (Statham) who makes his living providing protection in the rough edges of the gambling world. Statham's character refuses to resort to gunplay, strictly using hand and edged weapon combat. When a dear friend is brutally beaten by a high-rolling mobster, he helps her get her revenge and he ends up in more trouble than he ever imagined.
In addition to Machete Kills and her ongoing work on ABC's "Modern Family," Vergara can be seen in this summer's The Smurfs 2.

AMD Radeon R9 NANO review -
The AMD Radeon R9 NANO analyzed
Tiny while offering serious muscle
Small, tiny and cute are the keywords for the AMD Radeon R9 Nano that we review today. The product has an incredibly small form factor design yet is powered with a contradictorily huge Fiji XT chip that brings some significant gaming performance to this graphics card. With the release of the Nano, AMD now offers three graphics cards in their FIJI GPU line-up being the liquid cooled Radeon R9 Fury X with a FIJI XT GPU, the 'regular' Radeon R9 Fury with the FIJI PRO GPU, and today we can bring you a review on the NANO, powered by a fully enabled FIJI XT GPU. That Fiji XT GPU is literally a beast in size and performance as it is still based on a 28nm fabrication node, a chip that measures just over 5 x 5cm in size. There's lots of good stuff going on inside that chip as the memory you guys all know as GDDR5 typically has been seated on the graphics card PCB.
Well, with the Radeon R9 Fury, Fury X and NANO that has changed. AMD moved towards HBM memory in their entire enthusiast class product stack, the 4 GB of memory is seated onto the actual GPU (chip). So, the Fiji XT GPU has 8.9 Billion transistors, and that is EXCLUDING the HBM memory chips. The GPU the NANO uses is based on GCN 1.2 architecture and then scaled upwards (GCN Gen3) with pretty good DirectX 12 support. The Radeon R9 NANO screams multitudes of 4096 in the sense that you can game at 4K Ultra HD, it has 4096 shader processors, comes with 4096 MB of graphics memory and sure, why not... it has a 4096-bit wide memory bus. The end result is a product that offers roughly 8 TFLOPS of compute and graphics rendering performance offering excellent game performance in the more difficult and complex to render circumstances, such as Ultra HD gaming. The AMD Radeon R9 Nano will be a 175W TDP graphics card based on a very small form factor, you can use it inside a mini-ITX or Micro ATX build easily. The fully enabled Fiji XT GPU has 4096 stream processors - 256 TMUs and 64 ROPs.
So how does AMD do all that, such a big and hot ship running at a lower TDP in a small design graphics card? Well, while the core clock frequency is allowed to boost up-to 1 GHz, the card has both a power limiter and temperature limiter. Once it reaches 75 Degrees C or a certain power allowance, it will start to down-clock to reach the pre-programmed power and temperature targets. As such the 1000 MHz core clock frequency is not a fixed clock on these cards, it is a maximum clock frequency -- if the card passes its power limitations or gets too warm then the card will clock up/down in-between these monitored limiters. In our experience you are looking at anywhere from 5 to 15% of the clock frequency, based on the limiters. Have a peek at the product we test today and then head onwards into the review.
With quite a bit of consternation on AMD's Radeon RX 5600 XT release we figured it would be a good time to talk you through the process of flashing new firmware into a Radeon graphics card. We'll pr...

Dr. Lai Kah Weng
Orthopaedic Surgery
|MBBS (S'pore), Dip Aviation Med (UK), MRCS (Edinburgh), M.Med (Ortho), FRCS (Edinburgh) (Orth)
|English, Mandarin Chinese, Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Indonesia, Hokkien Dialect, Cantonese Dialect, German
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and Aviation Medicine Specialist
Specialty Interest in Arthroscopic Joint and Ligament Reconstruction Surgery, Knee and Hip Replacement and Orthopaedic Trauma.
Dr Lai attended medical school at the National University of Singapore and thereafter completed a 6-year residency in Aviation Medicine with the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), where he became the first Singaporean to be awarded the prestigious Stewart Memorial Prize in 2002 for graduating top of his Diploma in Aviation Medicine course in London. During his time as a flight surgeon in the RSAF, he commanded a medical squadron, deployed to East Timor on a United Nations peace keeping mission and flew in various fighter jets and attack helicopters.
Upon commencing orthopaedic specialist training in 2006, Dr Lai rotated and worked in Singapore's biggest restructured hospitals and accrued much experience learning from local orthopaedic experts. In 2012, he completed his training after obtaining his Fellowship degree from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, and was granted full registration as an orthopaedic specialist with the Singapore Medical Council.
In 2013, he joined the National University Hospital (NUH) and spent a significant amount of time overseas attending fellowships in the region (refer below) whilst establishing his orthopaedic practice. This culminated in a full-time Orthopaedic Knee Arthroscopy, Arthroplasty and Trauma fellowship in 2014 with Drs Myles Coolican, David Parker and Brett Fritsch at the Sydney Orthopaedic Research Institute in Royal North Shore Hospital.
During Dr Lai's time as an Orthopaedic Consultant in the Sports and Hip/Knee Divisions in NUH, his surgical interests and repertoire included computer-navigated partial/total knee and hip joint replacement, minimally invasive, arthroscopic/key-hole ligament reconstruction, including double-bundle ACLs, as well as the latest techniques in cartilage resurfacing and regeneration.
Dr Lai has presented on the podium of various international orthopaedic meetings, given numerous talks to the public and fellow health care providers, and participated as a faculty in the Post-graduate Orthopaedic Residency Training in NUH. Dr Lai is a full member of the Singapore Orthopaedic Association and has contributed as a co-chairman of the Scientific Committee for its Annual Scientific Meeting.
Dr Lai has been an avid sportsman since young. He has donned school and university colours for swimming, athletics, volleyball, badminton, table-tennis, hockey, soccer and basketball. However, his true passion is in Rugby, a sport which he earned more than 10 caps playing for Singapore in International Test matches. Being a national rugby player has shaped Dr Lai's ethos and approach to achieving excellence, and this experience allows his to connect with elite athletes and treat them at a level that is unparalleled.
Dr Lai strongly believes in giving back, and he currently volunteers as the Medical Director on the board of the Singapore Rugby Union. He continues to enjoy rugby every Sunday, albeit the non-contact form, and takes part regularly in overseas International Touch Rugby tournaments. His continuing participation in competitive sports provides him with the latest practical sports medicine knowledge which complements his clinical experience of treating sportsmen of different backgrounds.

September 22nd, 2012
9-22-12 (@ Washington)
On Saturday I woke up around 9:30 and had some breakfast before leaving at 10:45. I parked at the Greenbelt stop and boarded the train at 11:20. We sat there for almost 10 minutes and then finally departed. Once I got off the train at the Navy Yard – Ballpark stop I walked towards the centerfield gate and had a nearby lady (Kim) take game photo number 151. I normally try to get the exterior ballpark picture from behind home plate, but someone I asked on Friday said that there really wasn't good exterior signage by the home plate entrance. I told Kim my story and thanked her for helping me out. I then went to the player will call window near home plate to get my ticket. Since I was there I figured I should at least look if they have anything on the exterior. I think this would classify as exterior signage.
Those numbers on the ground represent the years that important events took place in Washington baseball history. On the right you can see those metal structures. Here is a close up of one of them.
I entered the ballpark at 12:40 which was pretty late for me given the 1:05 first pitch. I got a hot dog and a designated driver beverage (lemonade) and then went to my seat. I was in the same section and row as Friday, but 11 seats farther from home plate. Gio Gonzalez threw a called strike to Aoki to get the game underway.
Wily Peralta was pitching for the Crew and I was looking for a duplicate performance of Sunday's dominance vs. the Mets. Here he is after releasing the first pitch of his outing:
The Nationals got to Peralta in the 3rd, scoring three runs on 4 hits, including 3 doubles. After walking a batter to load the bases with two outs Roenicke made the call to the bullpen.
Unfortunately Sunday's performance was not duplicated. On Sunday he threw 104 pitches to get 24 outs (4.33 pitches per out). On Saturday he threw 73 pitches to get 8 outs (9.13 pitches per out). He walked four which is always going to escalate the pitch count. Hopefully it's just part of the learning process (he's only 23) and he can bounce back.
Livan Hernandez had entered for Peralta and got out of the bases loaded jam in the 3rd without allowing another run to score. The 4th inning, however, did not go as smoothly. The first seven at bats of the 4th went like this: groundout, single, walk, 3-run home run, single, single, (coaching visit to the mound), 3-run home run. Eeeeeeesh. The Nationals increased their lead to 9-0 in a span of a few minutes.
In the middle of the 4th (I think) the Nationals put on the Presidents Race. The four Presidents that run are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt. I think they should call it the Presidents *Event* for obvious reasons. This picture should explain it:
As you can see Teddy has zero wins on the year, and zero all-time wins in over 350 races. It's a running gag and the fans cheer for him knowing that he'll do something to lose, i.e.:
It's their own thing and I don't want to step on any toes; but let the guy win. Well, don't *let* him win, but at least let it be an actual race. I'm curious if they tell the guy running in the costume "now if you disobey and win you will never be allowed in this ballpark again." I took from my history classes that Teddy Roosevelt was a good president, so he deserves better. I'm not being too serious BUT if I was a betting man I might take a gambling friend to their first game and decide if I want to bet or not depending on if they pick Roosevelt to win the "race."
The Brewers got on the board in the 6th with an RBI groundout from Braun and a sacrifice fly from Ramirez. A home run from LaRoche made it 10-2 Nationals after six. In the top of the seventh there was a scary moment if you were a Nationals fan. Gio Gonzalez, who is the Nationals' best pitcher (perhaps even if Strasburg hadn't been shut down) stumbled while letting go of a pitch to Maldonado. He laid face down on the ground for 2 or 3 seconds before finally getting up. I tried getting my camera out to take a picture of him just lying there but I wasn't quick enough. This is after he got up and everyone came over to see what happened. I saw something similar in the highlights of a different game recently and the pitcher did something to his oblique muscle so I wasn't sure if Gio was actually hurt. It wound up being a scare and all the fans gave him a standing ovation (I think he was just plain embarrassed). He pitched great on Saturday though, so there wasn't much to be embarrassed about.
Roenicke started putting in the September call ups towards the end of the game to give them some playing time. With all of the games being close as of late, and the Brewers being right in the wild card race he hasn't had the opportunity. Taylor Green hit a 2-run home run in the 9th but that's all the offense could muster. Final score: Nationals 10 – Brewers 4. A close loss (I think) is harder to swallow because you can say "what if" about a lot of stuff. A blowout is easier to forget. It's baseball: it happens.
Unfortunately the Cubs blew a save in the 9th inning and the Cardinals wound up winning 5-4 in 10 innings. The Cardinals now have a 2.5 game lead in the second wild card standings.
Right back at it tomorrow with a 1:35 PM first pitch. Gallardo is "toeing the slab" (baseball slang for pitching) and I'm hoping he can keep doing what he's doing (pitching really well).
I missed 3, yes THREE pitches at the game on Saturday. Looks like it wasn't just the Brewers who had a bad game.
1) I missed the fourth pitch to Maldonado in the 5th. I was looking at the out of town scoreboard and was telling the guy next to me that the Cubs had the bases loaded.
2) I missed the first pitch of the bottom of the 7th. I found a half full bag of peanuts under the chair next to mine (it wasn't anybody's around me) so I started eating them.
3) The first pitch to Taylor Green in the 9th. I was looking at my phone trying to get an update on the Cubs game.
One last thing, there are two home games left that my extra seat is available for; Friday, September 28th and Sunday, September 30th. I ask $40 for the ticket (face value) and you'd be sitting with me for the game. The money goes to the Be The Match Foundation. Also, I have other tickets for Monday, October 1st, so BOTH of my tickets are available for that game. You and a friend wouldn't be sitting with me but the $80 for the two tickets would go to Be The Match. My season tickets are in section 221, row 6. Leave a comment if you're interested.

9-21-12 (@ Washington)
On Friday I woke up at 6:30 AM and couldn't fall back asleep despite the fact I had gone to bed just four hours earlier. I was still thinking about the fiasco on I-70 and I realized I was just going to lay there so I might as well get up. I worked on the post for Thursday, watched some ESPN and MLB network, and iced my knee. I left my aunt and uncle's place at 3:15 and stopped at the Jimmy John's that's a few miles from their house. I knew that I had needed gas, so earlier in the day I went to gasbuddy.com to find the cheapest gas nearby. It was at Costco ($3.69) and after devouring the Turkey Tom at Jimmy John's I went to fill up. They've got a system down at the Costco gas station. There is signage telling you to only enter from one side and there are lines (2-4 cars deep) for each row of pumps. After putting in my credit card the screen read: "please insert your Costco card first." DOH!!! Again: I'm an idiot (I'm not a member of Costco). I should've been suspicious when $3.69 was well below the average of the surrounding stations.
At this point it was getting kind of late so I decided I'd get gas after the game. Interstate 95 was very busy and I didn't get to the Greenbelt Metro station until 4:30 which was about the time I had wanted to be at the park. This is the view of Nationals Park when you emerge from the Navy Yard – Ballpark stop:
I walked around to the media entrance and Kyle met me with my wristband. Kyle works in the Nationals Community Relations department and had invited me on the field for batting practice. I picked up my Brewers-provided ticket from will call and we headed inside. We took a few turns and went down the umpires tunnel to the field. The Brewers were already taking BP and I soaked it in. At some point I had Kyle take game photo number 150 for me.
When the Brewers were done in the cage we went back up the tunnel and took the elevator to the main concourse where Kyle and I parted ways. Thanks again Kyle! In the concourse behind home plate they have murals detailing the history of baseball in Washington D.C. There were more but I just took pictures of the first two. Washington D.C. lost two franchises to other cities. The 1901 – 1960 Washington Senators became the Minnesota Twins in 1961 and the 1961 – 1971 Washington Senators became the Texas Rangers in 1972. The Senators that later became the Twins won a world series in 1924, the only world series a Washington franchise has won. That's more than the Brewers….. (so far).
I wandered a little bit but then went to my seat and waited for the game to start. Eventually (and right on schedule) Edwin Jackson threw a ball to Norichika Aoki to get things started. It would've made for a better picture if those people were in their seats, but what are you going to do.
Braun tripled with two outs but was stranded at second when Aramis Ramirez grounded out to short.
Marcum started for the Crew and he did well. Here's the first pitch of his outing:
The first inning wasn't too kind to Marcum, though. A two-out broken-bat single put one on and then Adam Laroche hit a 2-run home run to quickly give the Natinals the lead. I purposely spelled it N-a-t-i-n-a-l-s there. A few years ago Nationals was spelled wrong on Ryan Zimmerman and Adam Dunn's jerseys and they wore "Natinals" on their chests for a game. They've come a long way. The Brewers got one back in the top of the 2nd when Lucroy led off the frame with a solo shot. I was able to get the head of a random fan going up the steps *AND* cotton candy in the same picture!
The game then became a pitcher's duel. Marcum lasted six innings and gave up just the first-inning runs while allowing 4 hits, walking none and striking out 3. Jackson's line was more impressive: 8 innings, 1 run, 6 hits, 0 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Tyler Clippard came in for the 9th to try and secure the 2-1 victory for the Nationals. At this point I moved from my seat in section 108 to above the outfield seats in left. I was still hoping the Crew would make a comeback but wanted to be close to the centerfield exit so I could get to the Metro stop right after the game ended.
Aoki bunted for a base hit to start the 9th and moved to second on a passed ball. Weeks flew out while Aoki tagged and moved up to third base. With Braun at the plate and the tying run at third with only out I felt pretty confident the Brewers would tie the game. Braun ripped the 0-1 pitch to left and it was a new brand new ballgame. Braun stole 2nd and then Ramirez doubled, giving the Brewers the lead in the process. A wild pitch from Clippard let Ramirez get to third. Travis Ishikawa reached first and Ramirez scored. I say reached because originally the ground ball to the shortstop was ruled a throwing error but the official scorer later changed it to an infield hit. Either way the Brewers had a 2-run lead. Axford pitched the 9th and notched his 32nd save. That three-run 9th is a thing of beauty. Final score: Brewers 4 – Nationals 2.
Earlier in the day the Cardinals led the Cubs 4-2 in the bottom of the 9th and were one strike away from winning. What happened next? A bloop single, a game-tying 2-run home run (on a 1-2 pitch) and then a walk-off win in the 11th. Go Cubs Go! The Cardinals loss coupled with the Brewers win means the Cardinals' lead in the second wild card chase is just 1.5 games (ONE in the loss column; you can't make up losses).
This post was kind of short but it's a quick turnaround. The remaining three games of the series have 1:05, 1:35, and 1:05 start times, respectively. Let's win some day games!!!
Go Brewers!

Dear Sir or Madam:
This is in response to the amendments to your organization's Articles of Incorporation filed with the state on April 26, 2002. We have updated our records to reflect the name change as indicated above. This letter will take the place of the copy you requested.
Our records indicate that a determination letter issued in October 1982, granted your organization exemption from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. That letter is still in effect.
Based on information subsequently submitted, we classified your organization as one that is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code because it is an organization described in sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).
This classification was based on the assumption that your organization's operations would continue as stated in the application. If your organization's sources of support, or its character, method of operations, or purposes have changed, please let us know so we can consider the effect of the change on the exempt status and foundation status of your organization.
Your organization is required to file Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, only if its gross receipts each year are normally more than $25,000. If a return is required, it must be filed by the 15th day of the fifth month after the end of the organization's annual accounting period. The law imposes a penalty of $20 a day, up to a maximum of $10,000, when a return is filed late, unless there is reasonable cause for the delay.
All exempt organizations (unless specifically excluded) are liable for taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (social security taxes) on remuneration of $100 or more paid to each employee during a calendar year. Your organization is not liable for the tax imposed under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA).
Organizations that are not private foundations are not subject to the excise taxes under Chapter 42 of the Code. However, these organizations are not automatically exempt from other federal excise taxes.
Donors may deduct contributions to your organization as provided in section 170 of the Code. Bequests, legacies, devises, transfers, or gifts to your organization or for its use are deductible for federal estate and gift tax purposes if they meet the applicable provisions of sections 2055, 2106, and 2522 of the Code.
Your organization is not required to file federal income tax returns unless it is subject to the tax on unrelated business income under section 511 of the Code. If your organization is subject to this tax, it must file an income tax return on the Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return. In this letter, we are not determining whether any of your organization's present or proposed activities are unrelated trade or business as defined in section 513 of the Code.
The law requires you to make your organization's annual return available for public inspection without charge for three years after the due date of the return. If your organization had a copy of its application for recognition of exemption on July 15, 1987, it is also required to make available for public inspection a copy of the exemption application, any supporting documents and the exemption letter to any individual who requests such documents in person or in writing. You can charge only a reasonable fee for reproduction and actual postage costs for the copied materials. The law does not require you to provide copies of public inspection documents that are widely available, such as by posting them on the Internet (World Wide Web). You may be liable for a penalty of $20 a day for each day you do not make these documents available for public inspection (up to a maximum of $10,000 in the case of an annual return).
Because this letter could help resolve any questions about your organization's exempt status and foundation status, you should keep it with the organization's permanent records.
If you have any questions, please call us at the telephone number shown in the heading of this letter.
This letter affirms your organization's exempt status.

Join us for a lively panel discussion hosted by Amnesty UTS:
6 - 7.30pm, Wednesday 1 June
Level 2 - Events Space
UTS Library
Facebook event
The panel will feature the following speakers:
Peter Cooley, CEO of First Hand Solutions - an Indigenous-run corporation aimed at relieving the disadvantage experienced by Indigenous peoples through education, training, employment and cultural development
Trista Sa'u, representative from the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation - a not-for-profit organisation empowering Indigenous youth through access to Australian schools and universities
Paddy Gibson, Senior Researcher at the Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning at UTS and an organiser with Stop the Intervention Collective Sydney (STICS)

National Reconciliation Week is bookended by the 1967 referendum on May 27, which gave the Commonwealth the power to make laws relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and include them in the census and the landmark Mabo decision on 3 June 1992 which gave Indigenous Australians land rights over their ancestral lands.
This year's theme is Our History, Our Story, Our Future which reflects on our national identity and recognises the place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, culture and rights in our national narrative.

From the perspective of 200 I, this book appears to have appeared on the scene at exactly the right time - it was Federation year, women all over Australia were about to get the vote, and many 'brilliant careers' were expected from young women of Stella Miles Franklin's generation. Yet the career of the Career has been a chequered one, in terms of both its publication history, and its critical reputation.
The novel was first published by Blackwood, of Edinburgh and London - not an Australian publisher, wrote A.G. Stephens, for 'the local audience whom it will interest is too scanty' (although see Webby in this issue). Franklin had sent the manuscript to Henry Lawson, who had immediately guessed that 'Miles Franklin' might be female. He wrote to David Scott Mitchell, 'I've got a bush novel, sent to me by a young girl, which I think beats Jane Eyre or the African Farm'. When Lawson arrived in London he passed on the manuscript to his literary agent J.B. Pinker, who sent the manuscript to Blackwoods. The book appeared some months later, without the '(?)' in the title, and also without a number of passages, probably on religion and the 'sex problem' (Webby, Introduction) .

Meet the candidates: Five stand to take on Ottery Rural ward in by-election
PUBLISHED: 13:52 13 September 2018 | UPDATED: 14:20 13 September 2018
Residents will be able to quiz candidates ahead of voting next week in a by-election to choose a new representative for the Ottery St Mary rural ward.
A by-election was called after Matt Coppell was forced to step down after failing to attend a single meeting in six months.
West Hill Parish Council will host the hustings at West Hill village hall tonight (Friday) from 7.30pm ahead of the election on September 20.
All five candidates have been invited to attend the hustings which will be chaired by Margaret Hall, Chair of West Hill Parish Council. The candidates will be invited to make an introductory statement before members of the public are invited to ask questions.
Standing in the election is John Sheaves of the Conservative party, Richard May for Labour, Nick Benson for the Liberal Democrats, Margaret Bargmann for the Green Party and Independent Geoff Pratt.
There are four polling stations, at Aylesbeare Village Hall, Escot Village Hall, West Hill Village Hall and Tipton St John Community Centre.
Geoff Pratt - Independent:
"I was co-opted onto Ottery St. Mary Town Council in July 2014. In May 2015 I was elected to serve as a town councillor for the Tipton St John Ward.
I am a property lawyer by profession and have lived in Wiggaton for the past 11 years.
I was a Founder member of the Ottery St Mary & West Hill Neighbourhood Plan Working Group and attended public consultation meetings at West Hill, Tipton St John and Wiggaton, and with colleagues helped to form the Plan."
Richard May - Labour:
I have lived in East Devon for the past four years with my partner and our two sons, we live in a council house.
I am a carer for my partner, and we are a working class family. I know all about heard time-when we first moved to the area we just survived with the help of the local foodbank. So when you tell me of your concerns it will be in the knowledge that you are not alone.
I will be more then just a name in the council chamber I will be a voice for you.
Nick Benson - Liberal Democrat:
Liberal Democrats seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community and balance is what I'll pursue if you elect me for the remaining seven months of this Council.
I've had the good fortune to live near Ottery St Mary for 21 years, to see my two sons educated at the King's School and to work, from home, as a free-lance business lawyer.
With your vote and help from the Liberal Democrats, I'd like to turn my good fortune and my pursuit of balance into a benefit for the Ottery St Mary Rural Ward.
Margaret Bargmann - Green Party:
I have lived with my family in Ottery St Mary for 12 years. I am presently teaching English to speakers of other languages, at home and in language schools across Devon. I have worked as a nurse for nearly 30 years until training up as a teacher, several years ago.
As a Green party candidate I am not bound by any vested interests, and by voting Green the community will get a representative who will fight for local people and will stand up for local services, local buisnesses and protecting the beautiful Devon environment.

Property investment can be one of the most rewarding investments a person can make. Stock market investments are often misleading, and don't always result in the kind of positive cash flow which real estate investment can provide. So, keep reading to learn why real estate investment might be worth your time.
Now is the Perfect Time
The housing market is finally recovering from the recent housing market crisis, resulting in low home prices along with low interest rates. Home prices and interest rates haven't been this low in years, meaning it's the perfect time to make a great investment in a good location. Just be sure to research every location. Like Jason Hartman says, not all income properties are created equal.
Work on Your Own Schedule
When investing in real estate, you become your own boss. This provides a lot of freedom to work on your own schedule, choose what property to invest in, how much to charge in rent, and what tenants will move into your properties. It will be up to you to manage and maintain every property, but the choice is yours as to how each property is managed, and what days and times are best to invest time and energy into it.
From Passive Income
Once you purchase a property, it's possible to benefit from a passive income by
renting it out to tenants. Choose an amount to charge for rent which results in positive cash flow. For instance, if you own one property and rent it out for $1,000 per month, and pay $300 of the amount to maintenance expenses, plus $300 for the mortgage, you'll be bringing in roughly $400 per month. This may not seem like much, but it's easy money and what if you were to purchase several properties? The possibilities begin to intrigue.
Own Assets
Paying the mortgage on a new property can't be avoided. The obvious route is to take the money earned from tenants and put it towards the overall cost of the property. While this will subtract from earnings, it makes it so the tenant is paying off the mortgage of the property. That being said, once the mortgage is paid off, you end up with an asset another person paid for.
Build Savings
Real estate investment is the perfect strategy to build up savings. For instance, if you're earning $7,000 a month alone on income properties, and you save all the money away for retirement, you'll have a fantastic retirement fund. You may even be able to retire early.
With the low prices on properties today, it might be time to look into property investment early to build savings for the future, and create wealth while you're still young.

Advise the patient to read the FDA-Approved Patient Labeling (Patient Information).
Patients should be informed that fesoterodine may produce angioedema, which could result in life-threatening airway obstruction. Patients should be advised to promptly discontinue fesoterodine therapy and seek immediate medical attention if they experience edema of the tongue or laryngopharynx, or difficult breathing.
Antimuscarinic Effects
Patients should be informed that Toviaz, like other antimuscarinic agents, may produce clinically significant adverse effects related to antimuscarinic pharmacological activity including constipation and urinary retention. Toviaz, like other antimuscarinics, may be associated with blurred vision, therefore, patients should be advised to exercise caution in decisions to engage in potentially dangerous activities until the drug's effects on the patient have been determined. Heat prostration (due to decreased sweating) can occur when Toviaz, like other antimuscarinic drugs, is used in a hot environment.

What They're Saying...
"A favourite restaurant for Janet Pashleigh of whistler4kids.com and her six year old son Jack is Caramba Restaurante an airy, woodsy restaurant with an Italian Mediterranean flair. "It has great pizzas and pastas and the prices are fairly reasonable," she says adding that kids will also find mac and cheese, calamari and spaghetti and meatballs on the menu. The Whistler Brewhouse offers up an open plan kitchen, great menu and a small train that travels around the bar and restaurant while picky eaters can tuck into a large range of meats and fish, noodles and veggie dishes at the Mongolie Grill. Cheaper alternatives such as the Hot Buns Bakery, Garbanzo Bike and Bean and Zogs offer up everything from paninis to chili dogs to crepes, while in winter families are welcomed in for nachos and other apres ski fare until 7:00 at most of the resort's bars and restaurants."
AIR MILES Inspired Living Magazine, Sept. 2009
Discover the greatest playground ever... out of the skis, whistler is a fantastic place to be a kid.
Whistler Traveller Magazine Winter 2010-11
Huge kudos to Watermark Communications, Tourism Whistler and the Resort Municipality of Whistler for putting on another fantastic Holiday Experience at the Telus Conference Centre. What a great opportunity for tourists and locals to get some free, indoor family fun over the holiday break. With the frigid pre-Christmas temperatures, it was an especially welcoming place for the kids to blow off some steam.
Not a day went by that my six-year-old didn't request a visit to bounce around with his pals.. and not a great hardship for us parents as it seemed the social hub of the Village. It was especially nice this year to be able to grab a snack at the café and have the extra seating for chatting with friends.
Thanks again for giving us parents some alternative options to keep the kids entertained - we hope to see you again next year!

Hari Nef Looks Totally Different as a Blonde
Hari Nef is letting her blonde ambitions be known to the world.
Yesterday, the supermodel visited her colorist Aura Friedman at New York City's Sally Hershberger Salon to take her trademark brunette to a pale, flaxen hue. "Having more fun thanks to @AuraColorist," Nef wrote on Instagram, settling the debate. "It's for a role but I also feel like an elf-slash-assassin so she can stay."
When revealing the look on her own account, Friedman described the color as an iridescent baby blonde, and it's definitely a dramatic change from the star's usual rich brunette. The new hue was finished with a trim and some super-touchable waves by stylist Travis Speck. We're obsessed with how the shade is cool enough to almost appear platinum, but the warm neutral hints bring out the golden tones in her skin.

For the last few years, instead of making an official New Year's Resolution, I have followed the lead of my friend Jolie at The Gray Matters and selected a word that would guide me through the upcoming year. Two years ago, the word was Move. Following a rough pregnancy and baby time with my youngest, I was ready to take back a bit of control and move though my days with mental and physical intention. Last year, in a completely random turning of tides, I selected the word Still. I must have regained a bit too much momentum in 2015, and I was ready to quiet myself from the rushed pace I had been keeping.
I worked hard on capturing that still frame of mind in 2016. At a leadership conference in June, I was introduced to the concept of mindfulness and immediately knew it would be a useful tool for my goals. Slowing down is still a work in progress for me as a busy working mom, but I did take a few steps last year in an effort to find a bit more calm. Completely counter to my typical and very committed see-it-though-to-the-end mindset, I quite the PTA at my daughter's school in September and immediately recovered 10-15 hours in my month. I also made the tough choice to stop publishing my Macaroni Kid newsletter. I loved being the Editor and Publisher for almost 7 years, but it had become more of a chore than a joy. It was simply time to move on to other adventures.
I have thought a lot about what my word for 2017 will be, given the dichotomy of my words from the past two years: Move vs. Still. I considered Balance. It would be oh-so-wise to make balance an intentional goal, but it also carries the biggest potential for failure. And, who needs that right off the bat in a new year? I'd like to continue with my mindful practices and the goal of finding more calm in my days, so I considered extending the word still for another year. But it didn't quite fit anymore.
In thinking about what I would like 2017 to bring for myself, my family and friendships, my career, this blog, and so much more, I realized that the perfect word to focus my goals this year is BUILD.
The realization hit me softly as I reflected on the beginning stages of building our new home. The process has been tedious, but the reward will be wonderful. We will push through the pain points during the first few months of the year to find ourselves settled in a home that will allow us to build a foundation for the things that are so important to us … faith, family, friendships, and gathering those we love around us. Building our home will allow us to surround ourselves with a bit of nature that will bring the peace and calm we haven't been able to find in our current crowded space. Our home will build the future that we have been not only dreaming about, but planning and saving for for a very long time.
This is the year to lay the foundation and BUILD.
We have spent 3 years carefully considering neighborhoods, builders, existing inventory, and so many other factors. We knew we would need to move, and we wanted the move to be long-lasting and the best fit for our family. Of the many considerations, we knew we needed to move from our neighborhood built on clay soils across town where our foundation would sit on solid limestone rock.
I love how fitting this verse is as we move forward in building our home and our life this year….
24 Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse because it is built on bedrock. –Matthew 7: 24-25

French court dismisses case against rebel leader
Issued on: Modified:
A court on the island of Reunion dismissed a case against the rebel leader of Anjouan, Mohamed Bacar, who was charged of illegal entry into the French territory of Mayotte with unauthorised weapons.
A court on the French island of Reunion on Saturday dismissed a case against the ousted leader of the Comoros island of Anjouan, Mohamed Bacar, but ordered him held in custody.
The decision also involved 23 other men, mostly soldiers. All will remain in detention for the time being, police said.
They were to have faced charges of illegal entry into the French territory of Mayotte and carrying unauthorised weapons.
Bacar and his 23 men, mostly members of the military, were detained when they landed on the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion, where they had been transferred overnight Thursday by French military plane.
Bacar was president of Anjouan island from March 2002 but his re-election in June 2007 was declared illegal by the Comoros and the African Union and he was ousted in a military operation Tuesday.
He fled to Mayotte, an island in the Comoros which stayed French when the rest of the archipelago opted for independence in 1974.
Mohamed Abdou Madi, a former cooperation minister in Bacar's regime, was arrested in Anjouan on Friday, officials said Saturday.
A former Comoros charge d'affaires in Madagascar, he had teamed up with Bacar, becoming his spokesman for the last couple of months.
He was held in the Jeje region, Mohamed Bacar Dossar, in charge of defence issues in the Comoros, told AFP from Mutsamudu, Anjouan's main city.
A former candidate in the Comoros presidential election, Ibrahim Halidi Abdremane, who was also close to Bacar, was also arrested.
Another aide, Caabi Elchroutoui, was put under house arrest, said Dossar.
Comoran troops backed by Sudanese and Tanzanian African Union forces meanwhile kept searching the island for military and political aides of the former leader.

There was almost "The Great KDE Disaster Of 2013" when the KDE project almost lost all of their 1,500+ Git repositories.
Last week the virtual machine running git.kde.org was taken down for security updates. When the host came back up, which handles the 1,500+ Git repositories for the project, there was EXT4 file-system corruption. The KDE back-up system mirrors the Git trees of this server, but it turns out that these mirrors were also pulling in the corrupted Git repositories.
The mirroring process wasn't checking to see whether the original source was corrupted, so the problem was replicating and affecting all of the KDE Git repositories. Fortunately, in the end, a clean server mirror was found that was uncorrupted and could recover the master KDE Git virtual machine. "With git.kde.org and every other anongit completely dead, whereas we should have had four or five complete copies of the KDE Git repositories, this new server alone retained a pristine copy of all 1500 of them."
For more details on this near disaster for the KDE project, see this developer blog post about the situation by Jeff Mitchell.

We wake up, sleep. Eat, drink. Buy, sell. Life is normal.
This normality easily leads us to forget of the most important component of life: Ultimate resting place of individual souls, which is determined by eternal judgment.
Until we truly get to understand the magnitude of the coming judgment, we may not fully know how to wisely spend this gift of life on earth.
Until we deeply meditate, and really take time to meditate of what awaits us ahead on eternity (as individual); the terror of sin. The fiery hell. The torment. The wailing. The cries. On the other side, the glory in heaven. The beauty of worshiping right before Jesus! Joy of being a victor. Not condemned. Until we truly think of these things and them become a reality in our hearts, souls and minds. We shall surely never be cautious nor fear God but live recklessly.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (Hebrews 10:31) . Worth thinking twice.
Oh the corporate world! Another lie! We pray. We worship.We even repent. As a country. as a church. As a family.
But do I pray? Do I worship? Do I repent? As an Individual?
That you may have mercy on me Lord!
It's an individual. No corporate salvation. No corporate judgment. Yes! It's I, Job. It's you, as an individual! Worth thinking twice.
Whether we laugh at you or hail you. Whether married or single. Young or old. Employer, employee or unemployed. Pray to God that His judgment may not fall on you!
Now think twice on this: Your mother going to hell! What about your dear bro? Oh your wife! Your best pal matching to hell? For eternity? Sad indeed. Do you get the picture?
May our hearts boil for the salvation of lost souls. Pray. Preach. For the salvation of these precious souls.
You see there's more than working, eating, marrying and succeeding in life. Yes, even the eternal life.
Pray that God's judgment may not fall on you! Let's judge ourselves(individually) that we may not be judged. oh yes! We search our souls for "it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, than for" us. (Mathew 11:24)
I almost stopped posting this article for I know by posting it I've simply made my judgment more harsh, but then I thought twice; He bled and died for us. He was tortured. Spit at. Fearlessly faced the cross. Went to hell in our place. That's Jesus Christ. Please I ask that you do the same; think twice, for your soul is so valuable!

Get All Our Happy Days Are Stupid and The Middle Stories for a discount with the Sheila Heti Bundle.
Two couples, each with a twelve-year-old child, travel to Paris; within a few moments of discovering each other in a crowd, one of their children disappears. A day later, one of the mothers disappears, too. The story that follows is a wonderfully strange, beautifully composed examination of happiness and desperation, complete with a man in a bear suit, a teen pop star, and eight really excellent songs.Sheila Heti's debut play was first commissioned in 2001, for a feminist theater company that never ended up staging it. Its turbulent creation became the backdrop of Heti's last novel, How Should a Person Be?, which was named a Best Book of the Year by the New York Times and the New Yorker—and now the play itself can be revealed at last. With new introductions by Heti and director Jordan Tannahill, All Our Happy Days Are Stupid offers a novel's worth of wisdom and humor, of wild hope and dreamlike confrontations, and page after page of unforgettable lines. Seen until now only by a lucky few, its publication is a cause for celebration.

She then added, "Getting my strength back now that I am at home and wasn't able to deal with talking about it after my cancer surgery or what had happen [sic]."
Info will come out today that is jaw dropping. And women can't be silenced after being physically abused!— Camille Grammer (@TheRealCamilleG) October 28, 2013
Getting my strength back now that I am at home and wasn't able to deal with talking about it after my cancer surgery or what had happen.— Camille Grammer (@TheRealCamilleG) October 28, 2013
Grammer answered some of her fans' questions, saying the incident occurred right after her surgery earlier this month. She tweeted, "It was horrible what had happened to me two days out of the hospital. I feared for my life."
Camille also indicated she plans to press charges against the man, stating that he "belongs behind bars."
The reality TV star has been dating lawyer Dimitri Charalambopoulos since late 2011. Although she does not name him as her alleged abuser in her tweets, a source told RadarOnline.com that she is filing a police report that alleges Dimitri "struck" her in a Houston hotel room as she was recovering from surgery.
Another source told Radar, "Things between them had been bad for awhile," adding that Camille "ended it because she was over his antics." No comment yet from Charalambopoulos on the allegations.

Camille was infamously married to actor Kelsey Grammer from 1997 until 2010. Their acrimonious divorce was finalized in early 2011.
UPDATE: A judge has granted Grammer a restraining order against boyfriend Dimitri Charalambopoulos. In the legal filing, obtained by TMZ, Camille claims he physically abused her in a Houston hotel room, leaving her bruised and battered. Read the details here.
