- Internationals
Ivory Coast still keen to lure Zaha
Ivory Coast coach Sabri Lamouchi remains hopeful he can convince Wilfried Zaha to play for the country of his birth, even if the Crystal Palace star makes his international bow for England on Wednesday.
Zaha, 20, was a suprise inclusion in Roy Hodgson's squad for the Three Lions' friendly with Sweden and is expected to play some part in Stockholm.
But the winger, who was born in the Ivorian capital city of Abidjan before moving to south London at the age of four, is still wanted by the Elephants.
FIFA rules dictate that a player can switch international allegiance as long as he has not played in a competitive fixture and Ivory Coast boss Lamouchi wants Zaha to do just that ahead of January's African Nations Cup in South Africa, and has even sent Chelsea legend Didier Drogba to try to persuade him.
"We've not decided on our squad yet but he is clearly very selectable," Lamouchi was quoted as saying in the Sun. "We have some way to go to convince him but I want to speak to him directly - and I know Drogba has already spoken to him."
Zaha himself himself was left stunned by the approach from Drogba, and admits that he is still undecided about his international future.
"I was born in the Ivory Coast but all I know is England,'' Zaha told national newspapers. "It's 50-50 at the moment. Didier Drogba called me and I was shocked, to be honest. He's a humble guy. I've been with England Under-21s and now I will have to make a decision.''
The talented attacker has previously won Under-19 and Under-21 caps with England, but the Ivory Coast Football Federation (FIF) is reportedly planning to send officials to speak with him.
Lille forward Salomon Kalou, who has won 50 caps for Ivory Coast, believes Zaha would have a better chance to win international silverware with the Elephants than England.
"I'm unhappy Zaha has chosen England - he is Ivorian and his place is with us," Kalou said. "He must remember it is not easy to play for, and triumph with, England."
Ivory Coast once again find themselves favourites for continental honours ahead of January's African Nations Cup, but it is a tag they have failed to live up to in recent years; the last time the Elephants triumphed in the competition was in 1992 and they have been beaten in two of the last four finals - including a shock loss to minnows Zambia earlier this year.

On Tuesday, Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano issued an executive order calling on residents to conserve water because the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant was underwater during the storm and is no longer operational. The shutdown caused sewer lines at homes across the South Shore to back up, spilling raw sewage into streets. The county Department of Health issued an advisory, saying that people should stay clear of spilled sewage. On Wednesday, the county began diverting sewage from Bay Park into Rockaway Channel, Mangano said. Temporary repairs to the plant were under way, but full repair of the facility will not be complete for at least six months, and perhaps as long as a year.
Sewage can only be cleaned with a solution of water, soap and 10 percent household bleach, according to the Health Department.
To reduce water use, Mangano said, residents should:
• Stop watering grass and washing cars.
• Limit laundry and washer use to full loads.
• Shorten shower time.
• Limit flushing toilets.
You should always wear gloves when cleaning sewage.
Residents with non-life-threatening emergencies such as sewage backups should call (888) 684-4274. Anyone coping with a life-threatening emergency should dial 911. For more information on the county's Conserve Water Order, visit www.nassaucountyny.gov/health.
How to help
The American Red Cross has been out in full force throughout the week, with 17 shelters operating on Long Island after the storm hit. Chris Kutner, co-chairman of Long Island's American Red Cross Board of Trustees, estimated that thousands of Sandy refugees were using the shelters since being displaced from their homes.
If people would like to get involved with the Red Cross, Kutner said, they can make donations of food or clothing, or volunteer. "When a disaster like this takes away everything that they own, they turn to the Red Cross," he said, "and we try not to say no. We do the best we can to raise the funds, and then take care of people in their hour of darkest need."

U.S. Physics Team Wins Gold and Silver Medals at International Competition
College Park, Maryland, United States, July 23, 2007
The U.S. Physics Team has returned home triumphant today, having garnered a total of five medals; one by each of the team members.
The American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) and the American Institute of Physics (AIP) today announced that the students chosen to represent the United States at the 2007 International Physics Olympiad in Isfahan, Iran, earned two gold and three silver medals.
The 2007 U.S. Physics Team members are:
"We're proud of our team members and so glad they had the chance to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime experience," said Hakim. "We are certainly cognizant of our challenges to attract and prepare physics students to sustain our leadership in the science, but these students do give us hope." He added, "This global event goes beyond just physics. By being in the beautiful, green, and history-rich city of Isfahan and by interacting with its friendly and hospitable people, we have all affirmed our belief that the commonality of people and universality of physics trump differences in language, dress code, practices, and political rhetoric."
Each winter, more than 200 of the nation's top-scoring high school students advance to the semifinals for the national team. Based on the results of 10 theoretical exams and 5 lab exams, as well as students' school transcripts and letters of recommendation, the 24 members of the U.S. Physics Team are chosen in early May. Later in the month, team members travel to the University of Maryland-College Park for nine days of intense studying, testing, and problem solving at the annual U.S. Physics Team Training Camp. The five students who make up the national Traveling Team are chosen at the close of camp. Three additional days of intense laboratory work follow before the students leave for the International Olympiad.
"Not only is it challenging to keep satisfying their intellectual curiosity and answering their tough questions," said Shurtz, "but it is the fact that we keep learning from these students that keeps us going. There is nothing better today than sharing in their success."
This may be the end of the international competition, but all signs speak of a bright future for these students.

Levi Johnston Already Hates His Unborn Baby
Levi Johnston's brain is made of dried moose shit and his decision making skills are as broke as the condom he wore during his first time with Bristol, but you'd think he'd try to be considerate when it comes to giving his unborn daughter a name she has to live with until she's old enough to crawl to the courthouse to change it. But nope! Levi is still trashier and dumber than ever. Levi and the trick he knocked up, Sunny Oglesby, tell Inside Edition (via HuffPo) that they have decided to give their daughter the name of a morning shift cocktail waitress at a strip club/gun shop (or the name of the villain's mistress in a low-budget Bond parody starring Tom Selleck). The name they are writing on her birth certificate is:
A name that makes you think of Chris Breezy and Robert Blake at the same time is not a name you should give to an innocent child you're supposed to have love for.
Breeze isn't that bad. Yes, it sounds like the name of a Glade scent you'd use to mask your poop fumes, but it also sounds like the name of a member of a 1970s hippie cult commune that bases its teachings on the album Free to be…You and Me. I can deal with that. But BERETTA!? Beretta isn't a family name either. Sunny and Levi say that they are naming her after the gun. A mess. Why didn't they just go all the way with this foolery? Why didn't they name her God Fart Glock or Queefah Rifle?
And Sunny also told Inside Edition the romantic tale of how Breeze Beretta was conceived:
"We were out at the cabin for like, four days, and forgot the birth control."
I guess Breeze Beretta's fucked up name is the least of her problems….

Joe is sitting on a train across from a busty blonde wearing a tiny mini skirt. Despite his efforts, he is unable to stop staring at the top of her thighs. To his delight, he realises she has gone without underwear. The blonde realises he is staring and inquires, "Are you looking at my pussy?" "Yes, I'm sorry," says Joe and promises to avert his eyes. "It's quite alright," replies the woman, "It's very talented, watch this, I'll make it blow a kiss to you." Sure enough the pussy blows him a kiss. Joe, who is completely absorbed, inquires what else the wonder pussy can do. "I can also make it wink," says the woman. Joe stares in amazement as the pussy winks at him. "Come and sit next to me," suggests the woman, patting the seat. Joe moves over and is asked, "Would you like to stick a couple of fingers in?" Stunned, Joe replies, "Good grief! Can it whistle, too?"

Director Patrick Creadon: this documentary explains the situation of the national debt, and suggests if some things do not drastically change then, we are heading for some deep $&*t,
particularly lly because the rising costs of health care and baby boomers getting old, but also other expensive engagements such as air raids and occupations. (Previously to seeing it I did hear Ron Paul and Ralph Nadar harping on the need to regulate the Federal Reserve.)
"... a documentary that examines the USA's gargantuan national debt and its drastic implications... Creadon presents grim financial fact after fact, reinforced by interviews with financial experts, and yet he still maintains a light tone by following the grassroots campaign, Fiscal Wake-Up Tour, led by David M. Walker, a former comptroller general of the United States and Robert L. Bixby from the Concord Coalition."

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. - A woman from Pelham is expected to be charged with drinking and driving after being involved in a wrong-way crash on the Hutchinson River Parkway that injured no less than five people.
Westchester County police said that charges were pending against a 42-year-old woman from Pelham - whose name has not been released - who was involved in an accident on the parkway in New Rochelle overnight.
According to police spokesman Kieran O'Leary, at approximately 10:40 on Tuesday night, a woman was driving her Honda Accord northbound in the southbound lanes of the Hutchinson River Parkway. She proceeded to collide with three other vehicles south of Weaver Street in New Rochelle.
The driver of the wrong-way vehicle was seriously injured after striking another motorist, and both were transported to Jacobi Medical Center. The injuries were described as "serious, but not life-threatening."
Two other drivers were transported to Montefiore Hospital in New Rochelle. A third person refused medical attention at the scene of the accident.
Police said that it is expected the wrong-way driver will be charged with DWI at the hospital on Wednesday. Additional charges are possible. A booking photo was not immediately available until the suspect is officially charged at police headquarters.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's prime minister has notified the country's president that he has succeeded in forming a government.
Benjamin Netanyahu presented the lineup to President Shimon Peres on Saturday, a day after a coalition deal was signed ending weeks of deadlock.
Netanyahu says this is a decisive year for the economy, security and promoting peace.
The coalition will be sworn in Monday, two days before President Barack Obama visits.
Along with Netanyahu's faction, the government comprises Yesh Atid, which has vowed to help Israel's middle class and end draft exemptions for ultra-Orthodox Jews; the Jewish Home party linked to the settlement movement; and Hatnua, which is committed to reaching a peace agreement with the Palestinians.
It is the first government in a decade without ultra-Orthodox parties.

"This is the spray tan traffic zone, right here." — host Tom Bergeron
We've reached the "Dancing With the Stars" Season 16 finals, ballroom fans! And this two-hour, heavily padded first-night showcase had each of the remaining four couples dancing three dances. The first was the judges' choice, in which Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba selected a dance style that would best suit the finalists' capabilities. The second was a cha-cha relay, where the couples had to dance the same dance style one after the other. And then there was the "DWTS" favorite, the freestyle. Only it was super-sized this time around. There were props. Poles. People got pummeled. And a lot more perfect 30 scores were bandied about.
PHOTOS: 'Dancing with The Stars' Season 16 cast
Zendaya and Valentin Chmerkovskiy came out of the first night of the finals as the couple to beat. And sure, Zendaya's always shown great dancing chops, but they did suffer some blows: Last week's misguided quickstep earned them some of their lowest scores and put them in jeopardy. And then Val was literally knocked down by his one-named wunderkind's elbow earlier in the day during rehearsals, which turned his face into a bloody Quentin Tarantino movie. Val's brow still had a Rocky-like cauliflower look going into the judges' pick samba. Carrie Ann visited the duo during rehearsals to remind Zendaya not to be so loosey goosey in her core and to have a "perfect balance of technique, content and doing Zendaya's thing." And all that came to the forefront in their first dance, which felt very grounded and real despite Zendaya's fringe and sparkly pink leggings. "That's what I'm talking about," praised Carrie Ann. "You lost nothing in that." Len called the dance "eye-popping, show-stopping, jaw-dropping. That's the samba!" "You're just incredibly fierce, child," Bruno said admiringly. "You have a natural flamboyance that's so easy … and incredible technique." Score: 30. And Zendaya also had the uncanny ability to turn into a cha cha, which helped her and Val win the cha-cha relay and gain another full five points.
Zendaya and Val achieved the perfection hat trick with their super-size freestyle routine. Everyone (myself included) figured the last dance would be purely hip-hop, but Zendaya and Val gussied up their routine with some cha-cha and contemporary to make it more of a ballroom dancing event. And they added kids! Loved seeing Zendaya interact with the lil' ones and give them hugs after the performance. And what the super-size freestyle lacked in emotional depth it made up in technique and fun. Plus, I always get a kick out of seeing Val get down with hip-hop. "There were so many parts to that number but it all came together," Len said. "Kids in America rejoice: Zendaya the teen idol is here," Bruno proclaimed. "So unique and always you … simply irresistible." "Way to take us home," Carrie Ann commended. "You showcase why you're an incredible role model." Total: 65 out of 65.
Nipping right at their heels were Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough. The judges chose the quickstep for the country singer and her similarly coiffed pro partner. The last time they danced this dance, Carrie Ann pointed out the space in the hold, and she who jars the pickles was determined to stick close to Derek. "We're gonna duct tape ourselves if I have to," she said. But when Len came to help out during rehearsals, he painted a more vivid picture. "Your nobbily bits should be just on this side of his nobbily bits," the head judge said. And their quickstep was great from start to finish, beginning in black and white and with a volley of dialogue and a split leap, and ending in vibrant Technicolor with a crazy twist between the legs. "I was palpitated, perspirated, I was so excited I nearly flatuated," Len rhymed. Bruno called Kellie "the Southern Belle of the ball.… Technically it was really a tour de force." "The one thing I was looking for was an improvement in your body contact," Carrie Ann said. "And I saw it!" Score: 30. Kellie and Derek got second place and four extra points for their cha-cha relay.
Some people chose to fill their freestyles up with people and props. After toying with the idea of hammocks and silks, Kellie and Derek decided to pare down their super-size freestyle routine, stripping down the production element but making the dance more difficult. And the risk paid off: This contemporary routine, set to the lovely "Beneath Your Beautiful" by Labrinth featuring "DWTS" performer Emeli Sandé, had so much more of a lasting impact than some of the other big-budget numbers. Her light leaps were anchored with an emotional weight, and that pose where she leaned forward at a 30-degree angle to the floor was achingly beautiful. "It's about trust and letting those walls down," Kellie explained. And you could tell both Kellie and Derek poured both their hearts into it, with Derek wiping away tears in the end. Carrie Ann was awash with emotion. "Kellie, you just bared your soul on the dance floor and it was one of the most beautiful things," she said. Len stood up and applauded. "You did a dance of spellbinding beauty," Bruno commended. "That really was a contemporary work of art. It sticks to you. It touches everybody." Of course, they were awarded another perfect 30, though Len and Bruno both agreed they would give it 11s if they could. Total: 64.
Alexandra Raisman has come a long way. Under the tutelage of Mark Ballas, the stoic gymnast has really blossomed into a hip-thrusting, chest shimmying young woman during her "DWTS" stint, even coming up with a dance move (where she makes suggestive circles around her bathing suit area with her hands) in the process. Aly was really trying to ride her upward momentum going into these finals, and she delivered in the judges' pick samba. Bruno came to rehearsals (which took place in the shadow of the Mirrorball trophy) and ordered up a samba roll, encouraging Aly to "go round and shoosh it!" And shoosh she did, to Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie." Mark showed equality in costumes by sporting his own fringe and a tail, and they both shook what their mamas gave them to dazzling effect. Bruno said the routine was "cleaner and slicker than ever.… You've done everything I've asked you for … you got the shoosh. First-class ticket to Brazil!" Carrie Ann said Aly has "become a combination of everyone else in the final," with Jacoby's swagger, Kellie's beautiful lines, and Zendaya's sensuality. Len said Aly was "on the way up." Score: 28. And they got 3 extra points for their 3rd place finish in the cha cha relay.
For their freestyle, Mark said he wanted to use everything Aly's learned over the season. So he made sure they got their faces painted and had Aly working an elevated stripper pole, which served to "highlight Aly's strengths" and is "typically something you see just professionals doing." Can't imagine what Aly's dad in the audience thought of the splits-heavy performance, but it soon became clear that the pole work was kept to just a compartmentalized part of this Afro jazzical contempo freestyle routine. The judges, however, really liked the originality. Bruno called it "futuristic with a touch of exotic." Carrie Ann revealed she also "worked a pole" during a Madonna tour. Len dubbed Aly "Alexandra the Great." Score: 30. Total: 61.

What's it going to take for the last man standing to beat these leading ladies? Said Jacoby Jones himself: "The grace of God." Love this NFL player and how he brings out the goofy, fun-loving side of this goofy, fun-loving reality show — and his partner, Karina Smirnoff (case in point: Jacoby putting lipstick on Karina right before commercial break and Karina smiling innocently at the camera with full-on clown mouth). Len wanted to teach Jacoby to sharpen his kicks and flicks for the judges' pick jive. He likened it to "kicking a peanut". Ping ping ping ping! (Quipped Tom, "Ingo's son's sitting there, saying 'What did I do?'") Jacoby in turn showed his "light-skinned grandfather" a bit of swagger. And while there was a little more finesse in his jive, the residual flat-footedness still left some things to be desired. "The footwork was a bit better," said Len, but "you got excited on occasion and you lost it." Bruno gave props to "Gandalf the Grey" Len for working his magic (to which Len shot back, "thank you, Frodo," without missing a beat), but agreed, "You actually missed the beat quite a few times." Carrie Ann admired the swagger, but "the kicking the peanuts, I don't know," she said. "I think the peanuts won." Score: 27. And two extra points for getting fourth place (despite a huge leap over and slide under his competitors) for the cha-cha relay.
For their freestyle, Jacoby and Karina opted for a blend of New Orleans steppers and a second line with some Baltimore flavor, because the Big Easy likes to have fun and dance, and Baltimore wins trophies. "Like a big ol'party on the dance floor," Jacoby described. And I loved the steppers (particularly seeing that Tony Dovolani joined the party) at the beginning and the mini Jacoby and mini Karina tap dancers at the end. "You got the freestyle party started," declared Len. "Like a 180-yard touchdown." Bruno said he "loved the sense of celebration" and said it was "like watching a Mardi Gras parade down Bourbon Street," though pointed out Jacoby lost timing. Carrie Ann thought the New Orleans party strategy was apt, but that all the steppers and tappers "outshined you," she said. "I want you to be the star, and I think you got lost in the shuffle." Score: 27. Total: 56.
Which sounds about right going into Tuesday night's ultimate results show. I'd say Kellie and Zendaya are neck and neck to win the coveted Mirrorball trophy, and Aly and Jacoby are in a run-off for third place. Of course, all that could go away after the Insta-Dance.
What do you think, ballroom fans? Who do you think will walk away with the ultimate "DWTS" prize?

It can be difficult to predict if treatment will affect your fertility or if it will return to normal after treatment. Even if your chances of becoming infertile are low, you may still be advised to store (bank) sperm. Freezing and storing sperm is a safe technique that has been successfully used for many years. There is no lower age limit for this, as long as you have reached puberty and are producing sperm.
Your sperm can then be used in the future, along with fertility treatments, to help you and your partner have a child.
Your cancer doctor or specialist nurse can discuss this with you and refer you to a fertility clinic before your treatment starts. Most clinics will make sure you're seen very quickly. But sometimes it may not be possible to store sperm because cancer treatment needs to start straight away. Storing sperm after treatment starts is generally not advised.
Some religions may not agree with certain fertility treatments. If this is an issue for you, you may want to discuss it with your partner, family or religious adviser. You can also talk in confidence with a trained counsellor or social worker.

Flight day 7
Press conference
The next day is again spent mostly transferring things between the spacecrafts. There is one twenty minute press conference with selected journalists who ask questions about every possible subject. We also take photos of the whole crew and everyone on board, for what will later be our official 'flight-crew portrait'.
I have the additional task of adjusting my spacesuit so that it fits Sunni, who is going to carry out the third spacewalk together with Beamer. In the summer it was decided that Sunni would take the third spacewalk instead of me. The reason was that if we should be affected by more delays in the future then Sunni – who has never flown before, even less carried out a spacewalk – risked carrying out her first spacewalk as the 'lead' together with an equally inexperienced Russian.
By having her take part in our third spacewalk she would now gain the necessary experience, although, ironically enough it seems that we will not be delayed any more and Sunni has time to carry out a couple of spacewalks with Mike L-A before he is relieved by a Russian in March.
Flight day 8
Third spacewalk
During the third spacewalk Beamer and Sunni re-connect the two remaining power channels and transfer the shield panels on the ICC from Discovery to the ISS.
This time it is Sunni who finds herself on Discovery's robotic arm and it is Nick who manoeuvres it. There are three packs of panels that are first mounted on a framework and then all of it is transferred over to a mounting on the outside of the ISS. The framework/pack assembly has the working title "Christmas tree".
Flight day 9
Last day on ISS
Flight day 9 is the last full day on the Space Station. The last of the things are transferred over to the ISS and everything that is to go down to Earth is crammed into the SpaceHab. There is a further press conference and then we officially have a little free time as well.
If everything goes well I will carry out a session for the experiment ALTEA. ALTEA is officially an Italian experiment, but with some ESA involvement, and it is a continuation and expansion of research that I initiated in the 1990's on the Russian Space Station Mir, which we then called SilEye.
ALTEA has a sort of helmet for collecting EEG data at the same time that it measures particles that travel towards the head. For one hour you sit with the helmet on and receive diverse light impulses from a mask in front of the eyes. These generate brain impulses that are registered by the EEG.
For long periods, however, it is only darkness and hopefully you then experience sporadic flashes of light. These flashes of light are experienced by 80 percent of all astronauts and have been known since the Apollo journeys to the moon.
The flashes of light originate from a particle that reacts in the eye in some way. The particle can be a proton or a heavier charged ion. Exactly what happens in the eye we don't know, but through this experiment we hope to understand more. In a larger perspective ALTEA studies how the whole of the central nervous system is affected in space.

The tree you decorated a few weeks ago with such anticipation may be looking a little dry and droopy now that the gifts have been unwrapped, maybe even returned, but it still has a useful future — as mulch.
The tree you decorated a few weeks ago with such anticipation may be looking a little dry and droopy now that the gifts have been unwrapped, maybe even returned, but it still has a useful future — as mulch.
And the city of Palm Coast will even give you an evergreen tree to plant in your yard in exchange, while many Volusia residents can just place their trees at the curb to be hauled away with other yard waste.
Palm Coast's sixth annual Christmas tree recycling event will be from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Palm Coast Fuel Depot, 22 Utility Drive. Anyone dropping off a tree will get a free three-gallon evergreen to take home.
Last year, nearly 200 Christmas trees were turned in to be ground into mulch used to beautify parks and trails in the city, said Palm Coast Urban Forester Carol Bennett. All decorations, lights, tinsel and ornaments should be removed from the trees before they're donated.
"It's an event the community is starting to take hold of," she said. "It's become a tradition."
The tradition also includes an opportunity to recycle electronics, including DVD and CD players, computer monitors, keyboards, old wires and Christmas tree lights. Televisions will not be accepted.
Girl Scouts from three troops also will be on hand to recycle Styrofoam and holiday gift wrap, which Bennett said they use for art projects.
In unincorporated areas of Volusia County, Christmas trees will be picked up on regularly scheduled yard waste collection days. Tinsel, ornaments and nails should be removed and the trees placed by the curb by 6 a.m.
A spokeswoman for Waste Pro, the trash collection contractor for several local cities, said that same procedure can be used in areas it serves.
Volusia County used to offer a "merry mulch" program through which residents could have their Christmas trees ground into mulch and take it home with them, but it was discontinued in 2008 as participation dwindled, said community information specialist Pat Kuehn.
The collected trees are still ground into mulch along with other yard waste, she said, and residents can get free mulch year-round at the Tomoka Landfill or West Volusia Transfer Station. They can pick it up from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays at the landfill, 1990 Tomoka Farms Road, Port Orange. Mulch is available from the transfer station, 3151 E. State Road 44, DeLand, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
Meanwhile, Kuehn said the post-holiday period means an increase in volume of trash dumped at the landfill as mounds of holiday gift wrap is discarded although the weight of what's collected doesn't change much.

By Kris Voakes
He finally did it. In the 2010 World Cup final, his clear one-on-one against Iker Casillas was decisive as the Netherlands let Spain back in. Last year, his penalty miss allowed Chelsea to recover to win the Champions League on spot-kicks. But in 2013 Arjen Robben gained his redemption.
His winner against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley took some time to come, and not just in the sense of his past failures on the grand stage. In the first half he fluffed two great opportunities which had his name trending on Twitter. But he got the last laugh right at the very end.
Robben's magnificent moment came just as the all-German Champions League final, which had fizzled and flickered for much of the night, seemed set for extra-time. The Dutchman's run made the most of an excellent Franck Ribery flick, and this time when he needed to deliver, he did exactly that. Whereas after his first-half chances his face bore the expression of someone pained by previous anguish, suddenly all the joy in the world was etched on those familiar features.
He'd already seemingly won the game once. After playing a one-two with Ribery, he beat Roman Weidenfeller to the byeline and squared for Mario Mandzukic to tap into an empty net. But it had taken Dortmund only eight minutes to equalise, with Ilkay Gundogan netting from the spot after Marco Reus had been felled by a clumsy challenge by Dante which could arguably have seen the Brazilian sent to the stands on another night.
But Robben was not to be denied, and Europe's best team have been rewarded for a magnificent season with the biggest win of the lot. The Dutchman's issues of the past had mirrored Bayern's form. They had threatened to win in 2010, but were ultimately outdone by Inter. Last term, they dominated for long spells in their own stadium but lost to Chelsea. This time, Robben and Bayern got the result they craved.
For Dortmund, there was the perhaps hollow truth that for long stretches of the first half they had been the superior side, dictating the play, starving Bayern's ball-playing midfielders of possession and generally making the better chances. But for Jurgen Klopp and his squad there was to be no reward.
Instead, the familiar sight of Bayern playing in the Champions League final ended with the more unfamiliar pictures of them lifting the trophy. And it was thanks to the performance of Robben that they gave Jupp Heynckes the send-off he deserved.
Bayern's delight, at long, long last, was made possible by Robben's redemption.

South Bay Auto Auction, a used-car wholesale auction operating in Southern California since 1993, plans to open a facility in Stockton early next year to serve car dealers throughout the north state.
South Bay Auto Auction, a used-car wholesale auction operating in Southern California since 1993, plans to open a facility in Stockton early next year to serve car dealers throughout the north state.
It will occupy the former John Deere parts distribution center at 4101 S. Airport Way, south of Industrial Drive. The company plans to begin operations there Jan. 1 and hold its first auction and grand opening Feb. 6.
"We're pretty excited about it," said Mark Rubino, South Bay Auto Auction senior vice president.
The privately held company's existing Gardena facility serves all of Southern California, receiving cars from Fresno and Bakersfield down to San Diego and east from Arizona and southern Nevada.
From Stockton, the auction hopes to reach thousands of car dealers from Sacramento and the Bay Area, Rubino said Wednesday.
"We have that whole, big market to pull from," he said.
Its new facility can provide nearly 100,000 square feet of auction space all under roof, and there is plenty of room for future expansion.
The newcomer was welcomed by Mike Ammann, chief executive of the San Joaquin Partnership, which helped South Bay Auto Auction obtain the needed permits and clearances from local government.
"We fit it into an existing building that was vacant here for quite a while, so that's always good," he said.
It will provide an expected 50 part- and full-time jobs.
Ammann said it's also proof that despite the city government's widely publicized financial woes, businesses can find attractive opportunities.
"They can come to Stockton and be treated well and, in a timely fashion, open up a business and become profitable," he said.
South Bay Auto Auction is just beginning to market its services in Northern California but plans to hit the ground running by the February opening, Rubino said.
"We're hoping to run 400 to 500 cars that first week," he said.
Certainly, there are other auction wholesalers in the region, but he believes it can carve out its own niche.
"We've got enough potential business up there," Rubino said.
The company re-markets vehicles for credit unions, banks and finance companies, as well as leasing and rental car companies, and franchised used car dealers.
Auctions, open only to auto dealers, will run every Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. More information is available by telephone at (209) 690-9191 or visiting the website at southbayautoauction.com.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Where to Get Free ADHD Testing for Children
I have a friend who believes that her child is suffering from adhd. My friend does not have a job and is not getting any state assistance right now. And when she took her daughter to the pediatrician they would not test her. How could she get testing for her daughter to see if she may need medication or therapy?
Your friend might still want to check to see if her child qualifies for healthy start. She may find some useful information at jfs.ohio.gov. She may also want to contact her local mental healthy community or even her local children's hospital. Some of those agencies/providers use sliding scale fees that may help your friend get the help she needs for her daughter.

Check out the steamy cover!
About the book:
The greater the risk, the hotter the reward…
Homicide cop Troy Bennett had a reputation on the Chicago PD for being fearless and in control—until the night his daredevil partner is killed during a raid. From that moment on, he swears he'll never again be responsible for the loss of a loved one. To escape his demons, Troy transfers to the NYPD, bringing him up close and personal with Ruby Elliott, a beautiful, street-savvy pool hustler.
Reckless and stubbornly independent, Ruby embodies everything Troy's avoiding, but when she walks into O'Hanlon's Pub and blows his carefully laid plans to hell, Troy knows he has to have her—risks be damned. But there's a connection between Ruby's shadowed past and a case Troy's working involving a notorious Brooklyn felon, throwing her safety into jeopardy. Confronted with his biggest fear, will Troy push Ruby away to keep her safe or fight to keep her in his arms where she belongs?

Apocalypse Now?
"On a recent Saturday night, I went to the movies. Walking past the theater showing 'I Am Legend' (plague kills most of humanity), I opted to watch 'Cloverfield' (inexplicably angry alien destroys Manhattan) instead. After sitting through back-to-back previews for 'Hellboy II: The Golden Army' (ancient truce between Hell and Earth is revoked, resulting in mass destruction) and 'Doomsday' (lethal virus ravages England, a disease-ridden cinematic cousin to '28 Days Later' and 'Children of Men'), I found myself disturbed. The End of Days suddenly seemed imminent. Should I cancel my post-movie dinner reservation? What's with all this apocalyptic entertainment, I wondered, and what does it say about those of us who are filling the theater seats?" READ MORE >

Bart's Problem
In his new book, God's Problem, Bart Ehrman tries to prove that the God of the Bible doesn't answer the question of why we suffer, but his argument falls flat. In the end, what Ehrman and other "new atheists" forget is that a world without God is not a world without evil or innocent suffering. It's simply a world of suffering without hope. READ MORE >

Boston Marathon bomb victim honored at harbor park
BOSTON (AP) — A woman killed in the Boston Marathon bombings is being honored at one of her favorite places.
The east gazebo on Spectacle Island Park in Boston Harbor will be dedicated to 29-year-old Krystle Campbell.
Campbell was from Medford, just northwest of Boston. She was one of three people killed April 15 when two bombs exploded near the marathon's finish line.
Campbell was catering manager at Jasper White's Summer Shack, a seasonal cafe on the island. Cafe owner Jeff Dugan says the gazebo was one of Campbell's favorite places to relax.
The Boston Parks and Recreation Commission voted Monday to honor Campbell with a plaque on the gazebo after her colleagues and other advocates requested it.
The 105-acre offshore park is overseen by the city, the state, the National Park Service and the Boston Harbor Islands Alliance.


text: Hunting: Story Story Posted 06-14-2013 Summer Archery Checklist By: Art Lander, Jr. From Kentucky Dept. of Fish and Wildlife Resources FRANKFORT, Ky. – June is the halfway point on the calendar and is highlighted by the longest day of the year: the official start of summer on Friday, June 21 this year. For Kentucky's 90,000 plus archery deer hunters, the Summer Solstice seems to trigger another seasonal phenomenon – the need to get ready for the upcoming hunting season. Kentucky's 136-day archery deer season opens in late summer, this year 15 days before the first day of fall. The season dates are Sept. 7, 2013 through Jan, 20, 2014. The signs are everywhere across rural Kentucky that deer season is not that far off: mast is beginning to grow on trees in the woods, fields are lush with clover and tall grass. Deer fawns are becoming more visible and bucks are growing back their antlers with renewed vigor. When deer season opens, deer will still be in their summer pattern and highly visible while feeding late in the day in fields. For avid archery hunters, it's never too early to think deer. Late June is a good time to get organized by checking out equipment and adding new accessories. Start practicing, even if it's been months since the last hunt of last season. For archers who don't shoot year-round, here's a checklist to study in preparation for the upcoming season. Take your hunting bow to a trusted technician now and have it checked out, top to bottom, especially the bow string. "Most people wait until it's too late," said Tommy Downey, owner of 4-D Archery in Henry County. "The string may look okay, but it may be weakened under the center serving (where the arrow nock is attached)." Downey said bow strings can also stretch over time and hundreds of shots. "That gets the bow out of tune, so that it shoots erratically and inconsistently." If you plan to change vital equipment, don't wait, do it now. "For most people it takes about a month to adjust to a new arrow rest or bow sight," said Downey. "It takes longer than you would think to sight in your bow when there's been a change in equipment." Inspect arrows carefully. Make sure they are straight and free of cracks. Replace damaged fletching or nocks and be certain that the weight of your field points (practice points) are the same weight as your hunting broadheads. Set aside one broadhead for practice. As opening day of archery deer season approaches, sight in your bow with your practice broadhead. When you start practicing, take it slow. "Don't shoot too many arrows at first," said Downey. "Ease into it." Older archers might consider turning down the poundage or the draw weight of their compound bows and just shoot a few arrows a day, to build muscles back up. Sloppy practice is bad practice, even in the beginning. Concentrate. Get back into the rhythm of archery. When the season opens and you draw on that first deer, your mind and body should be on auto-pilot. Archery is part mental, part muscle memory. Be ready.

text: It's me again. Yes, the supply is severely low. I can tell from his decreased diapers (still 4-6 wet ones per day, but they used to be 8-9 sopping huge ones, plus huge poops every other day). He has only pooped one day in the past 9 days. The big proof is his weight loss. The lost 9 oz from last Thursday to this Monday. Dr. wants me to wean to formula, which I would actually love to do, but he will have none of it. He seems to have a bottle aversion. Doc says he will take the bottle eventually if I stop offering the breast, but I think he would starve and dehydrate himself first. So I keep nursing. I saw an LC yesterday and she gave me a plan--6 lactation cookies per day (ugh, it's hard to get them all in), More Milk tincture and power pumping. It's been a day and there is no increase in my supply, but at least I am now able to see I am having let-downs. I'm still a bit too nervous to let-down with him nursing, so I've been pumping till let-down and then nursing. Which I know is dangerous because he will want to work for the milk even less. But I've got to get calories into him. Nighttime is awful because he is hungry and I am exhausted (I have had 3-4 hours sleep per night for the last 2 weeks) and I can't let-down with him and last night the pump wouldn't get me to let-down because I was stressed and sleepy so he just had to go hungry. But I think he is getting used to being hungry, because on the whole he still acts like himself. Just a bit less energy, tires more easily and has gone back to 3 naps per day, like a young baby. I really hope I can get my supply up. Otherwise, what? My healthy fat baby stops developing normally, keeps dropping weight like crazy, I keep eeking out a small amount of breastmilk, etc. Until he starts eating more. It is making me severely depressed.

"If you continue to do the same things, you are going to get the same results." Einstein said something similar, but those were the very recent words of Florida coach Will Muschamp. It's a bye week and he's said there is much to do during the next few days to get Florida's ship righted, but will the changes he proposes include any on the offensive coaching staff? Offensive coordinator Brent Pease and line coach Tim Davis are definitely under fire for their under-performing units but firing coaches in the middle of a season is a radical approach that hasn't been done at Florida in at least the last 25 years, perhaps much longer. But, with the possibility of the first losing season since 1979 hanging over the Gators' heads, something radical could be in the works. Muschamp won't meet with the media until Wednesday so it's not likely that if there are changes that they will be announced before then.
In Pease's first year as Florida's offensive coordinator, the Gators averaged 26.5 points per game, 5.25 yards per play, 4.53 yards per rush and 6.6 yards per pass attempt with 13 touchdowns against five interceptions plus another 22 touchdowns on the ground. While yards per pass attempt are higher this year (7.1 per attempt), the Gators have taken a step back in the other categories. Florida is averaging 21.1 points per game, 4.94 yards per play, 3.7 per rush and they've only thrown for seven touchdowns against five interceptions. The Gators have run for nine touchdowns. The passer rating is very similar for both years: 130.44 in 2012, 132.72 in 2013.
Pease was the offensive coordinator for Guy Morris at Kentucky in 2001-02. Because of heavy NCAA sanctions, Morris bolted for Baylor after the 2002 season taking Pease with him. Pease's best year at Kentucky was 2002 when the Wildcats averaged 32.1 points per game, 4.1 yards per rush and 6.8 yards per pass attempt with 24 touchdowns and only six interceptions. That year Kentucky put a scare into the Gators at The Swamp. Florida overcame two special teams touchdowns and two touchdown passes from Jared Lorenzen to take a 41-34 win. Later in the season, Kentucky had LSU on the ropes until a 75-yard touchdown pass on a deflection on the game's last play gave the Tigers a 33-30 win. Kentucky scored 16 points in the fourth quarter on LSU coordinator Will Muschamp's defense and Artose Pinner gashed the Tigers for 137 rushing yards.
Pease spent three years at Baylor with Morris (2003-05) before he "resigned" to "pursue other coaching opportunities." Baylor posted three wins in each of 2003 and 2004, then won five in 2005. In 2003, Baylor averaged 15.9 points per game, 2.8 yards per rushing attempt and 6.0 yards per pass attempt with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. In 2004, the Bears improved to 20.4 per game and 3.0 per rushing attempt, but Baylor dipped to 5.9 yards per pass attempt with 17 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. In 2005, Pease's final season on the job, Baylor averaged 21.5 points per game, 3.1 yards per carry and 5.8 per pass attempt with 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
Pease coached wide receivers at Boise from 2005-10, then took over as the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator in 2011 when Bryan Harsin left to take a similar position at Texas. Boise State beat Georgia, 35-21, in the season opener and was a missed field goal as time expired against TCU from a perfect season. At Boise in 2011, quarterback Kellen Moore threw for 3,800 yards, 43 touchdowns and only nine interceptions. Tailback Doug Martin ran for 1,299 yards and 16 touchdowns and there were two receivers with 62 catches and six who had at least 20. Boise averaged 4.5 per rushing play and 8.43 per pass. It must be noted that Boise didn't run Pease's offensive system. Boise is running the same system that has been in place since Dirk Koetter installed it in 1998, which is one of the reasons you'll find there isn't much variation in the offensive numbers for Boise from 2006-11. No matter who is calling the plays, it's pretty much the same thing every year in terms of production.
Muschamp already has two proven offensive coordinators on his staff in wide receivers coach Joker Phillips and running backs coach Brian White. As Kentucky's offensive coordinator, Phillips put together outstanding back-to-back seasons in 2006-07 with Andre Woodson at quarterback. In 2006, Woodson threw for 3,515 yards, 31 touchdowns and only 7 interceptions. The Wildcats averaged 8.25 per pass attempt but only 3.1 per rushing attempt. The Wildcats had a 1,000-yard receiver in Keenan Burton who snagged 77 passes for 1,036 yards and 12 touchdowns. Things improved in 2007 when Woodson threw for 3,709 yards, 40 touchdowns and only 11 interceptions. The Wildcats produced a 1,000-yard rusher that year in Rafael Little and had two receivers with more than 60 catches, two with more than 50 and one with 42. White was the Wisconsin running backs coach from 1995-98 and from1999-2006 was also offensive coordinator. In his eight years on the job, White produced a 1,000-yard rusher six times including 1999, when Ron Dayne ran for 2,087 yards and won the Heisman Trophy. When Wisconsin won the Rose Bowl in 2006, the Badgers averaged 8.3 yards per pass and 4.0 per rush with P.J. Hill going for 1,569 yards rushing and Travis Beckum catching 61 passes for 903 yards. Wisconsin produced four 1,000-yard receivers during White's tenure with the best Lee Evans' 75 catches for 1,545 yards in 2001.
At sometime between 8-9 a.m. Miami will find out its fate from the NCAA. Miami has self-imposed two bowl bans, a ban on playing in last year's Atlantic Coast Conference championship game and suspended more than a dozen athletes, what school president Donna Shalayla says is penalty enough for years of wrong-doing that was documented by convicted felon Nevin Shapiro. The evidence Shapiro provided should have been enough to put the Hurricanes in the NCAA jail, but unethical conduct by the NCAA enforcement staff that went over and beyond Sharpio's documents could weigh the Infractions Committee to accept the self-imposed penalties and close the case.
If the NCAA decides further penalties are necessary, it could affect Miami's football team, ranked #7 nationally and undefeated at 7-0. It could also affect the Missouri basketball program since it could levee a show cause penalty on head coach Frank Haith, who was the Miami coach at the time of the allegations and has been implicated in wrongdoing. Miami lose scholarships, see both its football and basketball teams sanctioned and could also get hit with a lack of institutional control, which would mean any violation by any of its athletic teams, no matter how trivial, could cause the Infractions Committee to reconvene and issue the death penalty. PREDICTION: Miami loses a few scholarships, the NCAA accepts the two self-imposed bowl bans but hits Miami with lack of institutional control.
Since Miami could get the works from the NCAA today, it seems only appropriate that today's music is from famous UM alum Pat Metheny, who was named a full professor of music at UM midway through his first semester on campus in the 1980s. Metheny is one of the few real geniuses in music today. He's always pushing the musical envelope and stretching jazz to new limits. "Song for Bilbao" is one of my real favorites because of the great keyboard work from Lyle Mays and the wordless scat vocals from the incredible Richard Bona.

There are few things that I enjoy more than Fall Baking! The smells of a freshly baked apple pie, zucchini bread or these Mini Pumpkin Muffins with Streusel Topping can often be found coming from my kitchen. Heading to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch is a family tradition. Here in Northwest Indiana, we are blessed to have homegrown vegetables and plenty of orchards.

Let me preface here, while this blog post is clearly going to be a complaint, I do not want to come across as the old lady saying, "In my day we walked barefoot in the snow twenty miles to school, uphill, both ways!" Because, that's not how I roll. I do not necessarily believe that things were better in yesteryear. In fact, most things clearly were NOT. I'm a progress kind of girl. That being said, really? So much plastic, and what's with the desire to create a super bug bacteria? I mean, honestly.
There are many things about life today that I find decidedly odd. For instance, when I was a kid and I wanted a drink of water, I went to the cupboard, got a glass and filled it with water from the faucet. Now people are addicted to those stupid plastic bottles and it's become an environmental nightmare on several different fronts. The plastic bottle and the huge amount of plastic bags and other petroleum-based items increasing our dependence on foreign oil combined with a staggering waste disposal problem make me crazy, but that's not my gripe du jour.
No, I want to talk bacteria. Sexy, right?
I scratch my head when well-meaning adults offer me and my children hand sanitizer when there is a perfectly functioning sink with soap just yards away. Are you kidding me? Why? The soap and water are being offered to you free of charge. The hand sanitizer you had to buy. On top of that, it's another one of those blasted plastic bottles. (Even those of you who think you are recycling your water bottles, they're actually being loaded on barges and shipped to a landfill in China, by the way.) The salient point here is, we're sanitizing our way back to pre-antibiotic days, folks.
People look at me like I'm a teensy, weensy bit nutty when I bring this up, but it's simple math. Hand sanitizers, disinfecting wipes and sprays all claim to kill 99% of bacteria. Some even go so far as to make the claim of 99.9%… well, color me impressed. There's just one problem, the 1% or the .1% left behind. (That's if the product actually works as it says it does, most of them do not.) Let's take the rosier, cherubs and rainbow-farting-unicorns scenario, shall we, and say the disinfectant knocks out 99.9% of the bacteria. So, of one thousand organisms, one will survive your cleansing efforts. The one that's survived has some sort of a genetic difference to it which makes it resistant to our arsenal of hand sanitizers. It's going to reproduce, because that is simply what bacteria do, and all of its progeny will be likewise tougher to kill. Remember, bacteria reproduce exponentially, so it goes pretty quickly. Our cleaning efforts simply build a better bacteria.
For years a few voices of reason have been trying rein in this behavior, thus far, to no avail, I might add. In 2007 Tufts University, in conjunction with several other well-respected establishments, expounded upon previous studies, some dating back as far as 1980, supporting the use of soap and water over antibacterial products. (To view this paper, click here.) Antibacterial products do not work as well as advertised and even if they did the bacteria they leave behind is that which is good at surviving- think of it as the cockroach of the bacterial world. Soap and warm water works better, guys, I promise, and it doesn't breed a more resistant bug.
Sadly, hand sanitizer is the least of our problems. The biggest culprits of spreading antibiotic resistance are misuse and overuse of antibiotics, both in and out of the field of medicine. For instance, we all know the patient or often, the parent of the patient, who simply insists on a prescription for antibiotics, "just to be on the safe side". Or you'll hear someone say they're going to the doctor, "to get some antibiotics" as though if they don't get the prescription the physician hasn't done his or her job. Part of a doctor's job isn't just this illness; it's your overall health and well-being. Antibiotics you don't need do not contribute to your long-term health or, as we're seeing with the super bugs, society's health as a whole. For a great, plain terms explanation read this quick article from the Mayo Clinic. Don't try to insist or bully your doctor into a prescription if they think there's another way to deal with your condition. American doctors are finally starting to adopt the Europeans' "wait and see" approach. It's worked in other countries for years. Basically, if it is a virus your body will usually begin to get better on its own as your immune system revs into action. If you don't get better, your doctor can call in the prescription at that point.
One third of antibiotic prescriptions in the United States are for the common cold. The common cold is caused by one of over two hundred viruses, usually a variant of the Rhino virus. Antibiotics work against bacteria, hence the name, and are useless against viruses. Actually, they can be worse than useless, as they'll wipe out all the local flora and fauna a person needs in their body. By this I mean that in all of us are lots of good strains of bacteria that significantly contribute to our daily well-being. Send an unnecessary antibiotic through your system and you are actually more vulnerable to a harmful bacterial intrusion. (Side bar, this is why after a course of antibiotics some doctors recommend eating foods like yogurt, to help bulk up the "good" bacteria again.)
Another abuse of antibiotics is not finishing your prescribed dose. You've got a Strep infection, you start your meds, you start to feel better so you stop taking the drugs. Bad idea. You stand a very good chance that by not finishing the treatment you've killed off the more vulnerable organisms, but you've left the more resistant ones to repopulate once more. Ever have an infection that kept coming back? Finish the medicine the first time, that's all I'm saying.
It's not just human abuses that are contributing to the new Legion of Doom-esque bacteria. (Does anyone else suddenly really miss Saturday mornings with the Super Friends versus the nefarious Legion of Doom?) In the United States the beef, poultry and pork industries routinely use copious amounts of antibiotics for non-medical situations. Antibiotics are used in the healthy animals' feed to promote growth and as a "just in case" to ward off disease. Due to the large doses these antibiotics are excreted in the animals' waste. From there the drugs make their way into the soil, the local water systems and, of course, their presence in the animals' flesh means they are worked into our food chain as well. (Another great argument for organic and small farm options.) The Union of Concerned Scientists estimates that at this time 70% of our current selection of antibiotic drugs is employed in the meat industry on healthy animals. That's 70% of our treatment options in this field being rendered less and less effective for actual sick animals and humans. More illuminating (read frightening) is that in January of 2011 the Food & Drug Administration found that 80% of the total antibiotics produced in the US went to the farm industry. That, my friends, is a whole lotta' drugs.
I think "drugs" is the operative word here. Antibiotics tend to be thought of as such a good and miraculous thing, and they are, don't get me wrong, that there is a tendency to forget what they actually are. They are medicine, not Jelly Bellies. Like any medicine they should be treated with respect. They should not be overused, nor should we think we know better than our physicians. These drugs certainly have an important place in our health care, but, as with all things, moderation is the key here.
Lecture over, gripe done, putting away my soap box now.
Hmmm, of course, we still have all this plastic to deal with.
