Arsenal are amongst the leading contenders to sign Julio Cesar from Queen's Park Rangers in the summer, according to reports.
Metro claims the Brazilian stopper is in line for a move to either the Gunners or AC Milan at the end of the season, after his agent revealed that he's to leave Loftus Road.
Cesar has been a rare ray of light in a disastrous campaign for the Hoops, with the west London club set to ply their trade in the Npower Championship next year after relegation from the Premier League.
The 33-year-old stopper won't be representing the R's in the second-tier however, with Josias Cardoso confirming his client is looking for a new challenge in Europe.
"I'm coming to Europe to talk to Julio about the future. He is looking for a new team with potential," said Cardoso, according to Metro.
"Going back to Brazil? I don't think so – I see him having a future in Europe."
The paper claims Harry Redknapp would be willing to listen to offers in the region of £5million for the stopper, putting both Arsene Wenger and Massimiliano Allegri on alert.
Arsenal would certainly benefit from a safe pair of hands between the sticks at the Emirates Stadium, with neither Wojciech Szczesny or Lukasz Fabianski able to make the position their own in north London.
Cesar would add huge experience to the Gunners if he were to join, although the lure of the San Siro could pull the stopper back to Serie 'A'.

Revision of Brady Hoke B1G Presser Notes from July 28th, 2011 at 2:07 PM
A recap of Brady Hoke's time in front of the cameras (and also off-camera media questions) at Big Ten Media Days today.
It's humbling to represent Michigan in the greatest conference in the country. It's the Wolverines' 132nd year of football. "I don't think we're rebuilding. Period." The players understand what Michigan means, and the team doesn't put stock into a rebuilding year.
The players are doing what they've been asked, but the team is still a long way from where we need to be. How you go through camp (attitude, toughness, discipline, accountability) will lead to how the team performs.
The expectation is always that seniors will lead the team. Fall camp is "funnest time of the year." Hoke thinks the guys will show up on August 8th in shape to play.
Fortunate at Michigan to have several great rivalries. "The rivalry with Ohio is as big a rivalry as there is in the sport." If you don't get excited for that game "you may not be human." Hoke says the team understands the importance of that game, and they talk about it all year. OSU is not a wounded team right now. They're a tremendous program with great tradition. Michigan has 42 B10 championships. "When you have schools that have those legacies, I don't see anybody as wounded." It doesn't diminish the rivalry that both teams have taken reputation hits recently.
Hoke is excited for Denard's potential in the offense. He's done a tremendous job so far, and ran the same offense in high school that he'll be running now. The mechanics of taking snap, play action, etc. is not new to him. Borges has done a tremendous job with him.
"We're smart enough to have elements that he does well from what he did in the past in the spread in our offense." They'll adjust the proportion of spread and pro-style elements in the offense depending on how the team executes in fall camp. They still need to worry about finding a tailback, which should happen within the first 2-3 weeks of the fall.
Why would you worry about changing schemes, when they were so successful last season? "Two sides of the ball in the game of football." As a defensive coach, when you play against a pro-style offense in practice, you build a toughness. This is a physical league, and you need to stop physical offenses.
The excitement of adding Nebraska's tradition, adding a championship game, brings even more fanaticism for the Big Ten conference. Even if it means playing OSU twice? "That game always needs to be played the last week in November. That's tradition. I think there are certain traditions you don't mess with." If you happen to play them twice in a row, so be it. It happens in other sports all the time.
Mattison doesn't just bring X and O benefits. Knowledge, teaching. "That's first and foremost: you've gotta be a tremendous teacher." There's a scheme knowledge that is good, but it's the relationships with 18-23yo kids, and motivation skills all tremendous. If the staff or head coach aren't thinking of the best interest of the kids, they aren't doing a good job.
Hasn't made decision on Stonum. There's no timeframe for making a decision, and he's not worried about team chemistry in waiting to see if Darryl does all the right things to earn his place back on the team. Redshirting this season is possible, but there's too much that can happen in between to be thinking about that.
As for other wideouts, Junior [Hemingway] and Jerald [Robinson] have done a nice job. Odoms "brings a lot of life to us." Presents problems in the slot.
Mike Martin, Ryan Van Bergen, and Will Campbell have worked hard this summer, along with Craig Roh. The seniors are "doing the things that seniors should do."
JT Floyd should be healthy enough to practice right away.
Recruiting: "This might sounds arrogant, but if it is, it is: We're Michigan." Great history, tremendous staff. lifeblood of a program is the guys who come in. Wants toughness, team players, etc. The coaches out on the road do a great job, but Michigan sells itself.
Recruiting is going well, but Signing Day is still a long way away. "We've got 5 or 6 left that we need to be a little picky about." They'll probably sign more than 25 prospects. Recruiting is strong in Ohio, but it's always been like that. Possibly started with Bo Schembechler's roots in Ohio.
Big House night game. "We're looking toward September 3rd first and foremost." First night game with a rival, but the place is going to be jumping with excitement, looking forward to it.
On Kellen Jones: "He's just not enrolled in school." There are no other players that he knows of who won't be on the roster this fall.
Hoke got a bit of time off, but he wasn't able to "turn off" coach mode. He has 115 sons to worry about every day.
Closes with "Thank you, and Go Blue."
115 sons, loved that comment.
Thanks Tim! That was a tremendous job. Hoke is doing a tremendous job with the team and the Wolverines are tremendous too!!
I counted 6 tremendouses in that recap. I think Carr' s record was 11.
for some sort of visual (shiny!?) fashion extension in Chrome with all the use of Tremendous here.
going to ask what Carr's record was. Hoke still got some room for improvment. I see him toppling Carr later this year.
in the video. He started slow but finished strong! I have no doubt Hoke will eventually destroy Carr's tremendous record. Love you big guy!
I am sick of all the Carr-haters on this board.
Tremendous recap, thanks.
THIS IS MICHIGAN!...go blue
Sounds like we're going to run more shotgun and spread than people think.
So many people got caught up in the spring game where we were vanilla...AND where we were working on our weakness to get better. We did that all spring, work on the part where we needed to improve.
I'd like to see the difference in fall camp, from everything I've heard, the spread will still be there. But our coaches had an entire SUMMER to study it and learn it. How were they going to teach it in the spring when they didn't know it as good as the players?
Now parts of the spread will come back, the team has been working on "manball" and the power/pro-style game.
Anybody else excited to see the end result?
You don't think these coaches know how to run a spread offense? Catch any game film of 2010 SDSU?
How about UCLA with Cade McNown at QB? Guess who their OC was - one Al Jonathan Borges.
I love the comment about finding a tailback within the 2-3 weeks! Thank you and Go Blue!
I can't wait either and hope we do. But I fear that based upon last year that our best tailback is still our QB. I hope with Denard running much less this year that the running game isn't disadvantaged. But fingers crossed, hopefully someone will step up
our lack of talent at RB is wildly exaggerated. In truth, we have a decent stable with a nice mix of speed vs. man-ball types, and everything in between. I'm kinda pulling for Michael Shaw to have a great senior year...soooo many injuries have prevented him from hitting full stride. Shaw is fast, and could excel behind tremendous line play. There are things I like about all the guys though. Smith has been a warrior.
I think it is overblown as well. I look at our RB's and see some real talent at that position. They weren't great fits for the spread (other than Smith perhaps) but guys like Shaw, Cox, Hopkins and Rawls are guys that should excel in a prostyle offense.
I have particularly high hope for Shaw (as you seem to). This guy has size and great speed. His problem to this point has been staying healthy. Last year he had some great runs where he would drag defenders for numerous extra yards and break tackles pretty regularly.
I remember one game (I think it was against Ill.) where he took 2 defenders on his back about 8 yards across the goal line. He really showed alot last year and answered a lot of his critics IMHE. The only thing he needs to prove now is that he can stay healthy, and if he can do that, I think we will have a stud at RB this year.
If Shaw could stay healthy and the line opens holes, look out. Plus we have depth. Love it.
Mike Cox will start at RB in the fall.
After one big run against the 2nd team defense in the Spring Game?
Mike Cox and Jake Ryan were world beaters in the Spring Game vs. the 2nd team and everyone wants to act like they're Bo Jackson and Lawrence Taylor in Super Tecmo Bowl.
Can't wait for the season to get underway so i can take a shot every time Hoke uses the word Tremendous! Going to make for some oustanding afternoons of college football
I think you mean: Going to make for some "tremendous" afternoons of college football
That sounds dangerous my friend.
Herbstreit says Michigans season hinges on ND. http://bit.ly/qdKCUK
I disagreee, the new offense will take time to break-in given the change in style that Hoke is talking about. I think the season hinges on MSU and OSU, must beat them.
ND's season is dependant upon the Michigan game. A little higher expectations for the Kelly green and it's expected he won't get thwacked by UofM again - let alone a new coach.
We've beaten them four of the past five, including the past two years with relatively poor UM teams. A loss would be disappointing due to the high profile nature of the first night game at the Big House, but it's unrealistic to expect us to beat ND 100% of the time.
As for ND, another loss to UM would be a major setback in the "BK is an elite coach and will restore the Irish to past glory" storyline. It also would almost guarantee at least three losses and make it unlikely they will make a BCS bowl. FWIW, unless current Vegas odds change, they also will be favored. The Irish have far more at stake this year than we do. A ND loss will cause a minor meltdown in South Bend.
I agree with this epinion 100%.
I desperately want to beat ND this (and every) year, especially because of it being the first night game and the fact that I am flying 2/3 of the way across the country to be there in attendance.
But this game does not make or break our season in the same way that it potentially could for the domers.
The majority of the college football world is expecting them to come in and beat us...in our own house...in front of the largest crowd in history.
Sounds like all the pressure is on them, IMO.
If they lose to us, it will be a huge uphill battle for them to reach expectations, which this season are BCS or bust from what I am hearing.
If we lose that game, it will be dissappointing for certain. But we still have the entire Big Ten season to get back on track. That's one of the benefits of playing in a conference. Plus, in general the expectations for the Wolverines are much lower this year.
The meltdown in domer country if they lose to us will be of epic proportions, and I can't wait to see it!
I agree that we may be vulnerable against ND so early in a new regime and system. But we must pummel Sparty. If we do that and win the games we should win, we will be all right this year. Beating tsio would be spectacular, but we can lose to both ND and OSU and have a good season this year (only).
Without beating ohio when they are at their weakest moment in years (I dare not mention how long it's been) I don't think Hoke can call this season a success. Sure beating Little Broski would be tremendous, and I'd rather beat them than Notre Dame; I just find Sparty fans so much more damn annoying than the Leprechauns, plus it's vital for in-state recruiting, plus we need to put Sparty back in their place, which in turn helps us in national recruiting and perception. The tone of the national pundits is that MSU is now on par with UM, which is devestating to future recruiting efforts landing top prospects. That has to be corrected.
But The Game is what Hoke was brought back to win. Michigan also has to concern itself with beating the Spartans, but it's been dominated by tsio recently. And the perception is that the rivalry with tsio is the biggest part of the job that RR didn't get or comprehend. So to bring Michigan back to the level of competition in the B1G that we all want, that means beating tsio (at home) this season is top priority. With the three rivalries Michigan has, I'd consider going 2 for 3 a success. Just one of the two must be ohio.
Which national pundits do you speak of? First I have heard of sparty being on teh same level as UM in national recruiting. This is news to me I guess.
Please reread his post. Sparty is on the same national level. This will hurt recruiting in the future.
reading comprehension. learn it.
The tone of the national pundits is that MSU is now on par with UM, which is devestating to future recruiting efforts landing top prospects.
I don't know any national pundit that considers MSU on par with UM. None in their right mind. They have a good team this year, and are coming off a good season (for them) last year. People are speaking about the team's performance, not the program. MSU isn't close in terms of program prestige. But yes, we need to gd beat them.
We all Know what that means, Herbstreit will be here for the ND game.
After hearing that quote "He's done a tremendous job so far, and ran the same offense in high school that he'll be running now."
and going back to his recuiting video, I'm nothing but excited to see what the offense does this fall.
I was never panicked but that is reassuring. I just keep thinking about the amazing jump DR made from year 1 to 2. Hey is obviously a tireless worker and intelligent player. I think his open field running will explode on broken pass plays as well as called runs.
That's what I've been saying too. Denard's yardage on busted pass plays when the defense is dropped off in coverage could potentially be tremendous!
But who is this "Hey" guy you speak of?
Say Hey to Willie. A little nostalgia for a Friday.
I had no idea Hoke wanted me at the B10 meetings. A little more notice next time would be nice, coach.
"On Kellen Jones: "He's just not enrolled in school." There are no other players that he knows of who won't be on the roster this fall."
So what exactly does that mean? Is there a chance that he enrolls in the winter or next summer, or is it 100% in stone that he will never play here?
The equivalent of "I only talk about Michigan players".
As curious as I am to know the true story on KJ, I respect his privacy and apparently so does coach H.
PS - As I mentioned in another thread Coach looks thinner as well.
I love Hoke's demeanor. Respectful and well spoken but with just a small pinch of cockyness. Good stuff.
Can't wait for the season. I think the D is going to surprise people (in a good way, of course)Go blue.
Yes, our 2011 defense may show us what a difference coaching really makes.
Loves where he's at and it shows. Have a feeling he will enjoy/relish that first game more than anyone in the stadium that day. If he had a tail it would be wagging.
to see if he will jump up and touch the banner...if he does I hope he doesn't pull a Mesco

WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain pressed Sunday for a congressional committee to investigate the attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, last year, insisting that questions about former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's role remain unanswered.
"I don't know what level of scandal, unquote, this rises to, but I know it rises to the level where it requires a full and complete ventilation of these facts," McCain, R-Ariz., said on ABC's "This Week." "We're still uncovering information which frankly contradicts the original line that the administration took."
His comments came after the disclosure that administration emails on talking points about the attack showed that the original CIA document underwent several revisions, including one pushed by the State Department to delete a reference to warnings about the terrorist threat around the facility.
McCain, and Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., first called for such a special panel on Benghazi last November. The proposal attracted new support this past week, since the emails appear to contradict initial claims by White House Spokesman Jay Carney that changes to the talking points in the days after the attack were minor ones.
At least 139 House members back a plan by Rep. Frank R. Wolf, R-Va., to name a special committee. House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, has so far resisted the proposal, arguing that several committees already looking into the attack can handle the job.
The head of a panel of retired diplomats and ex-military officers, which investigated the attack, said Sunday that there was no reason to conduct another probe into what happened at Benghazi and the U.S. response immediately afterward.
"I don't see yet any reason why what we did at the accountability review board should be reopened," retired Ambassador Thomas Pickering on CBS's "Face the Nation."
He noted that the panel had a narrow mandate to look at security arrangements at the facility. But he acknowledged that the panel had not questioned Clinton, who was still secretary of state, and other State Department officials about their actions.
"We didn't believe that was necessary, and I don't see any reason to do so now," he said.
Instead, he said, when they met with Clinton, they briefed her on their findings.
Rep. Darrel Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said he has asked Pickering and retired Adm. Mike Mullen, who co-chaired the investigation, to answer questions after State Department officials criticized their review in hearings last week.
McCain said Clinton's role was one issue still to be examined. "I think the secretary of state has played a role in this," he said. "She had to have been in the loop some way, but we don't know for sure."

University News
Wiemann Awarded Centennial Honors Scholarship
April 8, 2013
MACOMB, IL – Hamilton High School senior Jared Wiemann, of Hamilton, IL, has been selected for Western Illinois University's Centennial Honors Scholarship, which covers four years of tuition, fees and a residence hall room at the school.
High school students with an ACT score of 32 or higher and a grade point average of 3.5 or higher are eligible for the scholarship.
Wiemann said he will likely major in chemistry and chemical engineering at Western.
Wiemann said he chose Western because of its program that collaborates with the University of Illinois to offer both a chemistry degree and a chemical engineering degree.
"Western is highly involved with surrounding high schools and offers many opportunities to visit the campus," he said. "Students can also receive an education from a state school in a town that feels more like home."
In high school, Wiemann participated in music programs, talent shows, plays, the Science Olympiad, the Envirothon, the golf and WYSE teams, pep band, marching band and concert band.
After graduation from WIU, Wiemann plans to continue on to graduate school.
For more information about the Centennial Honors Scholarship, contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at (309) 298-3100, or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Additional scholarship opportunities can be found by visiting wiu.edu/scholarship.

Cameron Feat Is Rarer Than Traveling To The Moon
After Oakland's Dallas Braden tossed his perfect game against Tampa Bay on Sunday, ESPN's Jayson Stark provided a phenomenal stat to illustrate how incredibly rare that feat is.
Believe it or not, more men have traveled to the moon (24) than have thrown a perfect game (19) in the big leagues.
So with that in mind, it's worth pointing out that Mike Cameron has done something even fewer people have done – he's one of only 15 players in MLB history to hit four home runs in one game (here's the list).
(photo courtesy of Kelly O'Connor)
Cameron put his name in the record books as a member of the Seattle Mariners on May 2, 2002 when he belted solo home runs in his first four at-bats against the Chicago White Sox.
And that was all by the fifth inning.
In the seventh inning, Mike was hit by a pitch, and in the ninth inning he flied out to the warning track in right field.
"To go to the plate four times in a major league stadium and hit four home runs – I think it's the most amazing thing I've ever experienced in my life," Cameron told me. "Everybody kept asking me, 'What did you feel at the plate?' I just felt like I was seeing the ball well. It was almost like the ball stopped and I put a good swing on it. It's a zone that you get into – I was like a little kid having an unbelievable time. That was the first time since 1957 that it had been done in the American League since Rocky Colavito and I was like, 'Oh my goodness.' I'm in pretty good company. When they started reeling off the names of guys that have done it before it was unbelievable. I tried to duplicate it the next day against the Yankees and I think I dribbled three balls into the ground. There's no way you can go up there and try to hit four home runs."
When the game ended, Cameron's teammates gave him a hero's welcome when he returned to the clubhouse after meeting with the media.
"Everyone lined up and held up bats like I was 'King for a Day,' Cameron said. "They made me a silver bat by putting aluminum foil around my bat and they made me an aluminum foil crown, and then everybody lined up and made it seem like I was walking down the red carpet and they poured beer on me as I walked through. It was a joyous feat that I'll never forget. To this day, I remember the feeling I had at the plate that day."
Cameron began a rehab stint with Pawtucket on Monday and went 2-for-6 with a double and 2 walks in his first two games before taking a break on Wednesday. The 37-year-old outfielder is scheduled to DH for Pawtucket on Thursday before playing in the outfield at McCoy Stadium this weekend. He told reporters at Fenway Park on Wednesday that there are tentative plans for him to rejoin the Red Sox in New York on Monday.
His Pawtucket teammates are in no hurry for Cameron to leave. The 3-time Gold Glove Award winner dropped nearly $1300 dollars on a lobster and chicken post-game feast for the players and coaches on Tuesday. Rumor has it that they'll be treated to steaks after Thursday afternoon's game.
* * * * *
The PawSox equaled their longest winning streak of the year on Wednesday with a 6-0 victory over Gwinnett.
OK, it's only two games in a row but you've got to start somewhere, right?
To quote Confucius:
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
The PawSox have been getting great pitching on their current homestand. Boof Bonser, Fabio Castro, and TJ Large combined on a 4-hit shutout on Wednesday, and Pawtucket pitchers have not allowed an earned run in their last 30 innings.
Daniel Nava provided much of the offense in Wednesday's win with a double, home run, and 4 RBI. After 32 games in Triple-A, Nava is batting .313/.409/.545 and leads the PawSox with 6 HR and 27 RBI.
It's the best $1 dollar the Boston Red Sox ever spent.
* * * * *
Congrats to former PawSox slugger Chris Carter on his promotion to the New York Mets.
Carter has been nicknamed "The Animal" by Mets manager Jerry Manuel for his hyperactive personality, and he wound up on the back cover of both New York tabloids after drilling a game-winning pinch-hit double in his Mets' debut on Tuesday.
* * * * *
The PawSox will look for their first 3-game winning streak of the year when they host Gwinnett on Thursday at 12:05.
If you can't make it to McCoy, you can watch the game on Cox Sports throughout Rhode Island. I'll join Bob Montgomery for the call.
I'd love to hear from you. The address is email@example.com.

Write to the Point: There's more to Mitt Romney's controversial 47 percent comment than meets the eye
September 27, 2012
By JOHN McCALLUM
There is some light to be shined on Mitt Romney's comments about 47 percent of Americans before those comments are consigned to the historical dustbin.
In surreptitiously recorded remarks at a May $50,000-a-plate fundraiser obtained and published by Mother Jones magazine last week the Republican presidential candidate claimed 47 percent of Americans don't pay income taxes, support President Barack Obama and are "dependent upon government, who believe they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name it. That, that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them."
Romney's right on a couple of points. In a 2011 study the Tax Policy Center concluded 47 percent of Americans, actually 46.4, did not pay federal income taxes. But there's a lot we know about those people from that study.
Of those 76 million plus households, 60 percent paid federal payroll taxes supporting Medicare and Social Security, as well as federal excise taxes, state and local taxes and property and income taxes. More than 38 million households didn't earn enough money last year to have any federal income tax liability and the rest were mostly low- to moderate-income families benefiting from specific tax deductions.
"Those provisions include the exclusion of some Social Security benefits from taxable income, the tax credit and extra standard deductions for the elderly, and the child, earned income and child care tax credit that primarily help low-income workers with children," Tax Policy Center scholar Roberton Williams wrote in 2011.
In other words, almost half of those American households are too poor to pay or have enough exemptions keeping them from paying federal income taxes. They're not freeloading welfare recipients as some suggest.
Second is Romney's claim all 47 percent support Obama. Politicfact.com analyzed the center's data with a recent CBS News/New York Times poll and found that of households with incomes of $50,000 or less, 68 percent paid no federal income tax with Obama leading in this group 58 percent to 37 percent.
They also found that households with incomes of $50,000-$100,000, 11 percent owed no federal income tax. Romney leads in this group 50-47 percent, and of households above $100,000, 2 percent paid no federal income tax, Romney leading here 57-41 percent. Also, among senior citizens, a group the poll found supports Romney 53-38 percent, 17 million paid no federal income tax in 2011 due to exemptions.
Finally, the Tax Foundation looked at states with the highest percentages of non-income-tax paying residents and found states with the highest rates "are mostly ones that Romney has in the bag – Texas, Idaho, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina" while several states with the lowest rates are with Obama: Minnesota, Maryland and Massachusetts.
So what we see is many millions of Americans paying federal income taxes will vote for President Obama while many millions of Americans paying no federal income taxes will vote for Romney.
Finally, the remarks provide us with a true insight into Romney's belief system, and how he intends to govern the country should he win election. When the video became public Romney said he could have put his remarks more "elegantly," but I doubt that. He was talking to a private, intimate gathering of his own kind, people who paid as much for a plate of food as 50.1 percent of Americans make in a year.
In Romney's view of the world basic human needs like food, shelter and health aren't natural rights, they're earned rights.
The Declaration of Independence asserts there are "unalienable" rights given to us by our "Creator" of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." To me it's difficult to see how any of these can be pursued without mechanisms for fulfilling these basic human needs, and one of those mechanisms is government – government creating a level playing field for all to succeed and extending assistance helping those knocked down to get back into the game.
That government is disappearing, thanks to the lobbying work of groups promoting the general welfare of corporations – the $50,000-a-plate gang who think they're entitled to make a profit – over that of individuals.
We're victims alright. And maybe someday we'll see the light.

Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management is to charge clients a flat fee of £500 for the work it does around suitability across advisory and discretionary mandates as part of its new retail distribution review (RDR) rate card.
The wealth management arm, led by Tom Slocock (pictured), said it had sought to keep charges across its services in line with pre-RDR levels. It will levy the flat £500 'strategy advice' fee plus VAT across its discretionary and advisory services for suitability work, regardless of the size of the mandate.
Miles Robinson, head of intermediaries, said: 'Regardless of if you are advising someone who has £250,000 or £2.5 million, you should go through a process of meeting them, gathering the facts, interpreting them and making a recommendation, which takes time and incurs cost. It does not take more time if you have a greater amount of funds.'
Deutsche's discretionary service starts with its unitised Dynamic Strategy Series, for which it charges an administration fee of up to 0.2% of assets alongside a 0.7% annual management charge and the cost of the underlying funds.
It levies 0.85% for the first £1 million in its Dynamic Strategy Portfolio, an actively managed portfolio comprising Deutsche's multi-asset strategies.
Clients who use the managed portfolio service, which includes a relationship manager, will be charged 0.95% on the first £1 million. Its bespoke proposition starts at 1.1% for the first £1 million.
Alongside the 'strategy advice' fee, Deutsche charges 0.7% for investment advice on the first £1 million and a 0.3% administration fee, with 0.25% for equity transactions and 0.15% for bond transactions, both with a £50 minimum. For funds it charges 0.75% with a £100 minimum.
Its wealth advisory service is priced at 0.9% for the first £1 million, plus a 0.45% administration fee at this bracket. It will charge 0.35% of the transaction value for its transactional advisory service, with a 0.3% administration fee for the first £1 million.
Barclays, in contrast, opted to charge an annual fee of 0.75% for advice and custody on the first £1 million in assets as part of its new rate card, alongside an 'advice execution fee per trade', which is based on a percentage of the investment.
In comparison, others charge commission per transaction and a flat transaction charge, which can be around £20.
The same charges for equity, bond and fund transactions apply for Deutsche's execution-only service, alongside a 0.3% administration charge for the first £1 million.
Although the team has sought to 'keep pricing across the client base where it was prior to the RDR', Robinson acknowledged that a small portion of the advisory legacy client book would be moved over to a new structure, as they may have formerly been on a commission-only basis. He added the removal of trail would not significantly impact revenues, due to the move into institutional units and passives in recent years.

The Atlantic Paranormal Society
TAPS Ghost Hunters
TAPS Ghost Hunters – Proving the Skeptics Wrong?
TAPS Ghost Hunters is one of the most popular paranormal research groups. TAPS is shorthand for The Atlantic Paranormal Society.
Its mission? To investigate paranormal activity including ghosts, poltergeists, EVP, residual hauntings, and other unexplained activity.
Sound far fetched?
Not at all.
Investigating the paranormal is totally natural to the TAPS team. So, what do these ghost hunters do, exactly? TAPS gathers scientific evidence using electronic equipment, and then determines whether a particular location is truly haunted.
TAPS Ghost Hunters Paranormal Investigation
TAPS Ghost Hunters first became popular in 2004, when the founders, Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, were featured on the Sci-Fi Channel in a TV show called "Ghost Hunters." Since then, TAPS Ghost Hunters has attracted thousands of followers and admirers. Due to the show, interest in ghost hunting and the paranormal has exploded.
TAPS Ghost Hunters – Investigating the World's Most Haunted Places
TAPS Ghost Hunters has investigated some of the most haunted places in the world, including The Stanley Hotel (featured in Stephen King's famous novel, The Shining), The Bird Cage Theatre, Shawshank Prison, The U.S.S. Lexington, Eastern State Penitentiary, Race Rock Lighthouse, Waverly Hills Sanatorium, and numerous private homes.
Skeptics argue that ghosts do not exist and that all paranormal activity can be explained scientifically. However, TAPS has proven otherwise. TAPS has gathered scientific evidence of the paranormal, and the TV show has helped bring ghost hunting into the mainstream.
Thousands of viewers tune into Sci-Fi Channel each week to watch the TAPS team interact with the paranormal.

The Atlantic Paranormal Society – TAPS Ghost Hunters
The Atlantic Paranormal Society has become hugely popular due to the TV show, "Ghost Hunters." The Atlantic Paranormal Society (also known as TAPS) investigates paranormal activity – including ghosts, hauntings, voices, poltergeist, EVP, and unexplainable psychic activity.
Guess where The Atlantic Paranormal Society is headquartered? You'll never guess. It's located in a small city called Warwick in the state of Rhode Island. Jason Hawes created the Atlantic Paranormal Society in 1990, after he had a paranormal experience that could not be logically explained. Since then, the Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) has gained international fame for its research into paranormal activity.
Haunted Places Investigated by The Atlantic Paranormal Society
Some of the spooky places investigated by TAPS include: The U.S.S. Lexington, The Shining Hotel, The Bird Cage Theatre, Eastern State Penitentiary, Race Rock Lighthouse, John Stone Tavern, Waverly Hills Sanatorium, Shawshank Prison, and numerous private homes.
The Atlantic Paranormal Society uses sophisticated equipment to capture evidence of paranormal activity. TAPS uses audio recording devices to capture EVP (electronic voice phenomenon), video cameras, infrared devices, electromagnetic field meters, negative ion detectors, thermal scanners, and much more. Once the paranormal activity has been captured using equipment, the Atlantic Paranormal Society evaluates the data and decides whether a particular location is haunted.
The "sport" of ghost hunting – as pioneered by the Atlantic Paranormal Society – is becoming immensely popular. The number of hauntings and paranormal activity is rapidly increasing. According to The Atlantic Paranormal Society, one out of every ten homes experiences some type of supernatural activity! That's 10% of all homes. As a result, the demand for trained paranormal researchers – ghost hunters – is rapidly growing.

Andrej Pejic Takes A Girly Turn In Numero
Our current favorite male model, Andrej Pejic, leaves his gender up to interpretation again with this striking editorial by Sebastian Kim for Numéro issue #128. Pejic stars alongside Latvian beauty Ginta Lapina and the two are styled as twins: stick straight blonde hair, red pouts and matching outfits by Chanel, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, etc. Though there's more than a few images that leave you wondering who is who, this isn't the first time someone has noticed their resemblance: Marc Jacobs cast both in his sun-bleached Spring 2011 campaign.

Not that this is any great proclamation, but the Cardinals are going to be awfully tough to beat at this point. I mean, even the elements are on their side. A slip by Curtis Granderson in center field and a double by David Eckstein that's an out if its six inches to the left were the two key moments in St. Louis' 5-4 win over the Detroit Tigers in Game 4 of the World Series. Stuff like that happens, and a team starts to get the feeling of destiny, and that makes them even better than they normally would be. Picture the 1988 Dodgers.
Anyway, you watch these two plays take place on television, as I did, and you see how excited Tony La Russa is in the dugout. It's as if his pure desire to win briefly blocks out the intensity La Russa usually exudes. It's a great look. And you can't really begrudge a La Russa-managed team that luck, because the truth is, La Russa has dealt with more than his share of buzzard's luck.
In 1988, his A's club ran into Orel Hershiser and Kirk Gibson, but they also were victimized by the likes of Mickey Hatcher, Mike Davis, Tim Leary and so many other average players who played above their abilities as the team's luck crescendoed. Everybody remembers that.
But nobody remembers the Game 2 loss in 1990 against the Reds, when Billy Bates' grounder off Dennis Eckersley kicked up chalk and won it for Cincinnati in extra innings. There was the Roberto Alomar home run in 1992 (also off Eckersley), the blown 3-1 lead in his first NLCS trip as the Cards manager, and a whole share of early-round losses. He's taken his lumps from folks who have said he can't manage in the postseason.
Well, guess what! La Russa is on the verge of joining Sparky Anderson as only the second manager ever to win a World Series in the American and National leagues. He has adjusted his managing style at times, stuck with his original guns at others, and now is getting a healthy dose of luck. Which is what he should get because luck is the result of relentless attack, and if nothing else defines a club managed by La Russa, it's that club's ability to go relentlessly day in and day out.
Looks like after all these years, it will finally get the reward it deserves.

Bowlive Kicks Off at the Brooklyn Bowl
Soulive kicked off their eight-night Bowlive run at the Brooklyn Bowl last night with plenty of guest appearances and a few Beatles and Hendrix covers. John Popper sat in with the band on harmonica and vocals during the first set for "Mulling It Over" and The Beatles' "Come Together." North Mississippi Allstars Luther Dickinson then came out early in the first set to add an extra guitar to the mix. That set included renditions of Hendrix's "Spanish Castle Magic," as well as The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and a psychedelic version of the already-quite-trippy "Tomorrow Never Knows." Cody Dickinson also took the stage in the middle of that set to play drums on a few tunes.
After the second set ended, guitarist Eric Krasno came out to tell the crowd that Questlove would not be able to make it for his post-show DJ set before promising to play some more music. The band then went into a long encore that began with a take on Hendrix's "Manic Depression," followed by one of Cody Dickinson's signature washboard performances, which was pretty incredible. The show came to a close with Tedeschi Trucks Band trombonist Saunders Sermons taking the stage to sing and play on Bill Withers' "Kissing My Love."
Soulive will continue for another seven nights. A full list of the upcoming dates and special guests can be found here.

Submission + - Sneak Photos of Tesla's Model S on City Streets (greencarreports.com)
thecarchik writes: Exclusive images of a 2012 Tesla Model S (the all electric Tesla Sedan) prototype testing on the street, in closer-to-production form than you've ever seen it--even closer than the Alpha build. Taken just minutes ago during a test drive of Buick's new eAssist LaCrosse (that's the dash you're seeing in some of the photos), these images show the Model S as it nears more production-ready form. As you can see from the photos, some of the more dramatic elements of the concept Model S' styling have been toned down, though it retains most of the proportions that made it so attractive.

Whatever the reasons Liz Cheney withdrew from the Republican Senate primary in Wyoming — she attributes the decision to a "serious health issue" in her family — the fact remains that her candidacy never caught fire. And that's a good thing, not only for what it says about Wyoming but also the national Republican Party.
On a more parochial level, her withdrawal signals a skepticism among voters of Cheney's brash and divisive style, which she promised to bring to the Senate. If you thought Congress could use more partisanship, she was just the candidate for you.
Indeed, a difference in style was Cheney's main selling point, since incumbent Sen. Mike Enzi boasts a conservative voting record not much different from what Cheney's would have been.
Cheny represented more than aggressive partisanship, though. As the National Journal's Josh Kraushaar wrote Monday, "Cheney found that her calling card in public life as a spokesperson for a muscular, hawkish foreign policy just wasn't playing politically — even in a Republican primary in a deeply conservative state."
If you seek to understand why that foreign policy is not playing politically, look no further than recent headlines from Iraq. Last week, Fallujah — just 40 miles from Baghdad — was overrun by al-Qaeda forces, as was most of Ramadi, a provincial capital.
If Fallujah sounds familiar, it should. It was in Fallujah in 2004 that Marines fought some of the most difficult battles of the Iraq war against al-Qaeda insurgents. And yet, nearly a decade later, radical insurgents are back in charge.
No wonder Americans have wearied of a "muscular" policy in the Middle East. And no wonder public opinion and congressional resistance forced President Obama to back away from plans for military action in Syria.
A vigorous anti-terrorist policy was obviously justified after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. But the interventionist policies those attacks inspired produced ambiguous gains at best for the U.S. Most Americans simply have no desire for another round of meddling.

Burglary defendant gets probation
BLACKFOOT — Shaden Leland Ross Walters was sentenced to probation and
fined $1,355.50 Monday by Bingham County Seventh Judicial Judge Darren
On May 23, 2011, Walters, age 19, and co-defendant Chris Nelson were
charged with burglary. The pair were charged with stealing from Todd
Joseph Jensen.
On Oct. 3, Walters pleaded not guilty to the burglary charge and then
changed his plea to guilty on Nov. 14.
In Walters' plea deal, the prosecuting attorney, the defense attorney
and the pre-sentence investigator agreed that Walters was a good
candidate for probation. Defense counsel Cindy Campbell said, "This is
his first felony."
"A number of things bother me about this case," said Judge Simpson.
"First, that you would just take something from another person. Second,
that you put blame on a different individual. And then there are the
mental health issues and substance abuse issue."
Simpson sentenced Walters to five years of probation. Walters received
a withheld judgment and Judge Simpson will retain
Walters was given 60 days of local incarceration and could face an
additional 90 days of discretionary jail time. He must also complete
65 hours of community service by Sept. 30, 2012.
Walters was ordered to pay restitution to the victim that totals $362.
Walters was fined $600; he also must pay court costs of $225.50 and
pay for treatment for substance abuse.
Walters' fines and fees equal $1,355.50. The total amount due the court
is $1,717.50.
Walters also must not be around co-defendant Chris Nelson.
"He has new friends now," his defense counsel said.
Walters must obtain and maintain regular employment. If he is not
employed, he must be involved in some form of education or vocational
training, said Judge Simpson.

Why do we let others starve. I think about this all the time. If we were to share food, there will be enough for everyone. But, because many humans think only about themselves, people starve. In many undeveloped countries children are dying of hunger and here we sit having a comfortable life without any big problems. Poverty is not by choice, it is because of the geological location, no education and many more factors. If the government can create better policies and aid the poor, these people will eventually have a better life. Poverty and Hunger is almost never by choice, but a lot of us seem to treat it like that. We have to change our mind set and try to do something.

Finalists for 2012 Awarding of The Bowerman Announced
EUGENE, Ore. – The 2012 finalists for The Bowerman – the highest honor given to the most outstanding athletes in collegiate track & field – were announced to a full crowd at Historic Hayward Field on Friday. The Bowerman Advisory Board selected Cam Levins (Southern Utah), Tony McQuay (Florida), and Andrew Riley (Illinois) as this year's men's finalists and Brigetta Barrett (Arizona), Kimberlyn Duncan (LSU), and Brianne Theisen (Oregon) as women's finalists for the prestigious award.
In-Depth Finalist Bios and Season Ledger (PDF)
In 2012, Levins won the NCAA outdoor titles at 5000 and 10,000 meters while McQuay captured national outdoor crowns in the 400 and as anchor of Florida's 4×400 relay. Riley became the first in NCAA Division I history to take victory in the 100 meters and 110 hurdles at the same national championships.
Barrett claimed NCAA high jump crowns both indoors and outdoors for the second-straight year in 2012. Duncan was again the indoor and outdoor NCAA champ at 200 meters and anchored LSU to the nation's top spot in 4×100. And, Theisen was the NCAA champ in the pentathlon, indoors, and heptathlon, outdoors, for the third time, setting the collegiate record in the pentathlon twice in 2012.
LSU's Duncan – a finalist in 2011 – is the first two-time female finalist in award history.
In the coming weeks, dozens of select media personnel, track & field statisticians, and collegiate administrators will choose the top male and top female as the award winners. In addition, beginning July 9, fans can visit TheBowerman.org to submit their choices as online voting will account for one full vote in the process.
Finalists were chosen by The Bowerman Advisory Board, a ten-person panel of experts in the sport, based on performances recorded during the indoor and outdoor 2012 track & field seasons. Only performances through the conclusion of the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships are used in consideration.
The winners will be first announced during a ceremony held in conjunction with the USTFCCCA Convention. The finalists and their families will be invited to take part in the special event that will be held at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando, Fla., on December 19.
Cam Levins, Southern Utah
Distance, Black Creek, B.C.
Levins swept NCAA Outdoor crowns at 5000 and 10,000 meters this season, becoming the first to do so since 2009 when The Bowerman winner from that year – Oregon's Galen Rupp – did so in Fayetteville, Ark. Using a 58.06 final lap split, he maintained his two-second lead to take the 10k title in 28:07.14, the best time in meet history since 1984. In the 5000, Levins closed in 54.28 on the final lap and 1:59.66 over the last 800 meters, to win by over a second (13:40.05).
Earlier in the season, on two consecutive weekends, Levins jumped into the record books with big runs at the Mt. SAC Relays and Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational. At the Mt. SAC Relays, Levins would outrun Arizona's Lawi Lalang in a 5000-meter thriller to clock the NCAA's best time of the season, 13:18.47. The mark is fifth all-time in the collegiate ranks and the fastest by a collegian since 2008. At the Payton Jordan meet, Levins would run another winning race against a stout field of pros and collegians with a 10k world-leading run of 27:27.96, topping Sam Chelanga and Stanford's Chris Derrick among others. The time of 27:27.96 is also No. 2 on the all-time collegiate list.
Two weeks removed from the Payton Jordan meet, Levins competed in five races at the Summit League Outdoor Championships and swept the finals of the 1500, 5000, and 10k. He was named the meet's track MVP.
Indoors, at the NCAA Championships, he placed third in the 3000 meters and fourth in the 5000 meters. He was named the Summit League's Indoor Track Athlete of the Year after taking home four conference titles with victories in the 800, Mile, 3000, and 5000. He was the top collegian in the 3000 meters at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston where he ran 7:45.75, the fastest time by a collegian since 2009 and eighth-fastest all-time. At the Millrose Games, Levins placed seventh overall in the Mile with a run of 3:57.16.
Levins is the first from Southern Utah and the Summit League to be represented as a finalist for The Bowerman.
Levins is slated to take part in the 5000 meters at the Canadian Olympic Trials today (Friday, June 29) at 7:55 p.m., Mountain time, in Calgary.
Tony McQuay, Florida
Sprints, Riviera Beach, Fla. (Suncoast HS)
McQuay helped lead the Gators to their first NCAA Outdoor team title with a national crown in the 400 meters and as anchor of the 4×400 relay that took victory. In the 400, McQuay claimed top honors with the season's collegiate best time of 44.58 seconds, just ahead of Oregon's Mike Berry. In the 4×400, McQuay literally clinched the team title for the Gators. Taking the baton in second place, Florida, down two points heading into the meet's final event, needed to win the relay to secure at least a share of the team crown. McQuay, with a 44.01 split, fired past Southern California's Bryshon Nellum to take the tape. Because LSU finished third in the relay, the Gators managed a four-point swing, enough to place Florida on top of the point standings.
He was the winner of the 400 meters at the SEC Championships, as part of an outdoor undefeated season in the event, in 45.48 and also led Florida to the SEC crown in the 4×400. The 4×400 squad also won the Drake Relays title.
McQuay is the first since 2008 to sweep NCAA indoor and outdoor 400-meter crowns. He won the national indoor title in the season's best by a collegian, 45.77.
Shortly after turning professional, he placed second at the U.S. Olympic Trials in the 400 meters and will be a member of Team USA's London contingent.
McQuay is the second from Florida to be named a finalist for The Bowerman, joining jumper Christian Taylor (2011).
Andrew Riley, Illinois
Sprints/Hurdles, Kingston, Jamaica
Riley became the first in NCAA Division I history to win the 100 meters and 110 hurdles at the same outdoor national championships.
Riley, USTFCCCA's National Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year, won the 100 meters in one of the closest finishes in NCAA meet history. Riley forged through a headwind of 2.3 meters per second (5.14 mph) to best Auburn's Harry Adams by two thousandths of a second (10.272 to 10.274) and Florida State's Maurice Mitchell by five thousands of a second (10.277). Riley entered the NCAA Championships as the 31st overall seed, out of 96 contestants, with a personal best clinched earlier in the season of 10.28. In the meet's first round, Riley clocked 10.19 and then won his quarterfinal heat in a wind-aided 10.03 seconds. At the finals site, Riley had a real breakthrough, clocking a new personal best of 10.02 in the semifinal.
In the 110 hurdles, Riley, the 2010 NCAA champ, won each of the NCAAs four rounds and clocked 13.53 in the final, despite 3.5 meters per second headwind (7.83 mph). Riley won by seven hundredths of a second over Texas A&M's Wayne Davis II (13.60). Earlier in the season, Riley clocked the collegiate-leading time of 13.28 at the John McDonnell Invitational, moving to No. 8 on the all-time collegiate performance list.
Riley also helped Illinois to the national final of the 4×100.
Riley was named the Big Ten Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year and Athlete of the Championships after claiming three conference titles. Riley won the 100 meters, 110 hurdles, and led off the Illini's 4×100 relay to the league crown.
Indoors, Riley was second at the NCAA meet in the 60 and fourth in the 60 hurdles. He claimed Big Ten indoor crowns in the 60 and 60 hurdles.
Riley was named Illinois' all-sport Athlete of the Year and was a nominee for the Jesse Owens Award – the Big Ten's all-sport Athlete of the Year award.
At the Jamaican Olympic Trials, Riley is entered in the 110 hurdles. Preliminaries and finals are slated for Saturday.
Riley is the first from Illinois and the Big Ten Conference to be a finalist for The Bowerman.
Brigetta Barrett, Arizona
Jumps, Duncanville, Texas (Duncanville HS)
With sweeps of NCAA high jump crowns in the indoor and outdoor seasons, Barrett became the first woman in DI history to earn dual-season titles in back-to-back years, a combination of four consecutive national titles between the seasons.
For the indoor NCAA meet, Barrett cleared 6-5 (1.96m) – tied for the seventh-best mark in collegiate history – to take the crown and was one of only two to clear a bar at more than six feet that day. At the outdoor national championships, Barrett won with a clearance of 6-4 (1.93m).
Barrett cleared 6-5½ (1.97m) at the indoor Razorback Invitational in January. That leap tied Barrett for the second-best mark in indoor collegiate history and was the best among the collegiate ranks since 2009 when The Bowerman finalist Destinee Hooker cleared 6-6 (1.98m) to win the NCAA title.
Barrett was undefeated in both seasons with five indoor wins and seven outdoor victories. In nine of those meets, Barrett cleared 6-4 (1.93m) or better to win.
Dating back to 2011, Barrett has won 17-straight competitions versus collegiate competition. Her last loss in the collegiate season was to Washington State's Holly Parent, based on misses, at the Jim Click Shootout on April 2, 2011. In both 2011 and 2012, no one has cleared a bar higher than Barrett in a competition. She was the Pac-12 Champion for the second-consecutive season as well.
Barrett qualified yesterday for the U.S. Olympic Trials high jump finals that will be held on Saturday.
Barrett is the first from Arizona to be a finalist for The Bowerman.
Kimberlyn Duncan, LSU
Sprints, Katy, Texas (Cypress Springs HS)
After the 2012 year, Duncan is the first woman in NCAA Division I to win back-to-back indoor and outdoor national titles in the 200 meters. That's four straight national crowns in the event for Duncan who still has senior eligibility remaining in 2013. Duncan is the first woman in award history to be a two-time finalist.
All told, Duncan now has six NCAA titles to her credit – four with the 200 meters and two with the 4×100 relay.
This season, Duncan contributed 20½ points to LSU's claim of the NCAA outdoor team title, winning the 200 meters, finishing runner-up in the 100, and anchoring the Lady Tigers to victory in the 4×100 relay. She crushed the field in each of the NCAA's four rounds in the 200 meters, winning each race by at least three tenths of a second. In the event's final, Duncan clocked 22.86 despite a 2.3 meters-per-second headwind. In the national semifinal Duncan claimed a new low-altitude all-time collegiate best time of 22.19 seconds — a time that is dubbed as the second-fastest time in collegiate history.
In anchoring LSU to their second-straight 4×100 relay national crown, the squad claimed the collegiate-best time of the year and seventh fastest in collegiate history with a 42.68-second readout in the semifinals. The finals time of 42.75 is now the eighth-fastest time in collegiate history.
Indoors, Duncan notched her second-consecutive 200-meter title with a 2012 world-best time of 22.74. Duncan became the first to win back-to-back national indoor crowns in the event since LSU's Muna Lee (2002-03). Duncan also claimed an eighth-place finish at the national championships in the 60 meters.
Duncan had a full season – 65 races in all, including 40 during the outdoor campaign. She was undefeated against collegiate competition in the 200, winning six finals indoors and four outdoors. She ran in 13 of LSU's 4x100s, anchored 12, and lost just once. Combining all finals in individual events and relays during the outdoor season, Duncan went 20-for-24. She only lost once in the 100 meters and that was for second in the national final, once in the 4×400, once in the 4×100, and once in the sprint medley relay – both for second place at the Penn Relays.
At the Texas Relays, Duncan won the 100 meters with a wind-aided time of 10.94. In addition, Duncan helped LSU to a Texas Relays sweep of the 4×100, 4×200, and sprint medley relay and was named the Most Outstanding Performer of the Meet for her efforts. At the Penn Relays, Duncan and LSU won the 4×200 relay and finished runner up in the 4×100 and sprint medley.
She was named the SEC's Outdoor Co-Women's Runner of the Year, claiming conference crowns in the 100, 200, and as anchor of the 4×100. Indoors, she was the league champ in the 200 and was runner-up in the 60.
Duncan was named the Honda Sport Award Winner for women's track & field for the 2012 season and was the coaches' choice for USTFCCCA Outdoor National Track Athlete of the Year.
At the U.S. Olympic Trials, Duncan has qualified for today's semifinals of the women's 200 meters.
Duncan is the first woman in award history to be a two-time finalist.
Brianne Theisen, Oregon
Combined Events, Humboldt, Saskatchewan (Humboldt Collegiate Institute)
Theisen added two more NCAA titles to her trophy case in 2012 by again winning national crowns in the indoor pentathlon and outdoor heptathlon. It was Theisen's third claim to national glory in both events. Among NCAA Division I women, Theisen is now tied for fourth on the all-time championship-titles list, including relays and across both indoor and outdoor track & field. She only trails Texas' Carlette Guidry (12), Texas' Suziann Reid (10), and Wisconsin's Suzy Favor (9) in career national crowns.
Indoors, Theisen won the national crown with 4,536 points, joining Arizona State's Jacquelyn Johnson (2006-07-08) as the only other three-time champion in the event.
Outdoors, she won with a personal best and second-best score in collegiate and NCAA meet history – 6,440 points, joining Houston's Jolanda Jones (1986-87-89) and Arizona State's Jacquelyn Johnson (2006-07-08) as a three-time heptathlon titlists. Theisen used personal bests in the 100 hurdles (13.30), shot put (42-4¾, 12.92m), long jump (20-7¼, 6.28m), and javelin (152-2, 46.38m) to compile her winning score.
In January, at Texas A&M's Mondo Challenge, Theisen broke her own collegiate record in the pentathlon for the third time with a tally of 4,555. In that event's high jump portion, Theisen cleared 6-2 (1.88m) and finished the season tied for second among all collegians with that mark. Theisen's 4,555 also broke the Canadian record of 4,550 that was set in 1982.
The Pac-12 Field Athlete of the Year, she won the Pac-12 title in the heptathlon (6,353) for the third time. Theisen was also named the USTFCCCA Indoor and Outdoor National Field Athlete of the Year.
Yesterday, Theisen completed the heptathlon at the Canadian Olympic Trials and finished second to make her first Olympic team. Theisen scored 6,393 points behind Jessica Zelinka who reset her own Canadian record with 6,599.
Theisen is the first Oregon woman to be named a finalist for The Bowerman.

The following editorial first appeared in the Ketchikan Daily News:
Ketchikan has what it takes to grow industrially during the next decade.
The largest industrial growth in Alaska is expected to be in health care, according to Alaska Economic Trends. Health care and social assistance lead all other projected industrial growth at 31 percent, followed by mining at 19 percent.
Social assistance includes child day care, vocational rehabilitation and nonmedical home care; the latter reflects the greater number of Alaskans who will be 65 and over. That age group is expected to increase by 89 percent to nearly 105,000 Alaskans, Economic Trends statistics show.
The state anticipates 5,860 new jobs in ambulatory health care, which includes practitioners, outpatient care centers and home health services, and predicts 3,600 new jobs in hospitals and 2,400 in social assistance. The demand for elderly housing also will increase. These ambulatory numbers represent 11,860 out of 38,749 jobs expected throughout all industries operating in Alaska.
The Economic Trends cites the Usibelli Coal Mine in Healy, the Pogo Mine in the Interior, the Red Dog Mine in the Northwest, the Greens Creek mine in Juneau and the Livengood Gold and Donlin Creek projects. But the Bokan-Dotson Ridge rare earth elements site 40 miles southwest of Ketchikan and the Niblack copper and zinc site 30 miles southwest of Ketchikan are developing, too.
The oil and gas industries are expected to grow, but at less than half of other industries. Their growth is attributed to the labor-intensive methods necessary in the latter stages of oil fields' life cycles.
Additionally, companies are likely to explore and produce in areas they might have viewed in recent years as marginal. High oil prices make those fields more likely to be profitable.
Construction is expected to add 1,600 jobs and retail, another 4,000. State-funded capital projects are key to growth in construction. Retailers selling essentials weathered the recession better than many, and after slight job losses are expected to regain their pre-recession jobs and gain another 943.
Employment in private and public education is expected to increase by nearly 3,600 jobs; 70 percent of those jobs will be in elementary and secondary schools. But 30 percent will include the University of Alaska and similar institutions; higher demand for well-trained heath care employees will drive, in part, education's growth.
Government growth is expected to be slow, and in the case of the feds, it is expected to drop 2.7 percent.
In tandem with growth of the health care industry, 47 of the 50 highest-growth occupations are health care related.
Plus, while the aging population increases the demand on health care, creating new jobs, another 96,000 jobs will become available throughout the state as a result of retirement.
These state projections spell potential for Ketchikan.
This community is the health care hub of southern Southeast Alaska. PeaceHealth, a Washington-based company, contracts with the City of Ketchikan to manage Ketchikan Medical Center. It not only operates Ketchikan's hospital, but it operates a healthcare clinic in Craig and has been assisting Wrangell's hospital transition through a difficult time.
When Wrangell, Craig and other Alaskans in the area need care beyond what's available in their communities, they often depend upon Ketchikan's hospital, privately owned clinics and other health care offices.
These offices treat patients of all ages, but the trend is an increased number of people over 65. Frequently, retirees choose to stay in Ketchikan or move to this community, ensuring the continued growth for the local health care industry.
Not all of the growth will be because of an older population. Ketchikan is the major city closest to both the prospective Niblack and Bokan mine sites. If the United States is to become less dependent on China for its rare earth elements used in much of its technology, then it will welcome mining at Bokan, and at last report, Niblack had been injecting $1.2 million monthly into the Ketchikan economy.
Mining and health care are predicted to create the most job growth. Granted, much of the state's health care growth will occur in the highest populated areas and mining occurs throughout Alaska. But the community has the infrastructure and the natural resources to be a part of Alaska's growth.
It's a matter of taking the necessary steps to move forward — extract metals and minerals and keep up with the rapidly changing health care industry.

Fasting May Fix Jet Lag 131
stoolpigeon writes "Reuters reports on a Harvard Medical School study on sleep patterns and how they relate to food. Researchers already knew that the sleep patterns of mice would change to match the opportunity to feed, but they did not know the mechanism that enabled the change. To find out, they looked for the part of the brain that was involved. They bred mice without a certain master gene that regulates the body's clock, and then targeted various parts of the brain with the gene, delivered in the shell of a virus. The results may, among other things, provide a new method for preparing to deal with jet lag: 'A period of fasting with no food at all for about 16 hours is enough to engage this [alternate body] clock,' the lead researcher said. The study appears in the journal Science."

"And when they ask us what we're doing, you can say, We're remembering...." (Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451)
Tuesday, January 06, 2009
Once upon a time, As The World Turns' Lily and Craig were actually quite close.
He was, if not exactly a father figure (let's review all the fathers this girl has had - 1) Her biological father, the teen rapist Josh/Rod wasn't around for most of her young life; 2) Her adoptive father, Martin Guest, killed himself when she was a tot rather than admit to Lucinda that Lily's adoption was illegal - do you blame the poor guy? Would you admit a weakness or failure of any sort to Lucinda? Would you? Brian?; 3) Her adoptive stepfather, the one whose name she and her mother ended up using, James Walsh, was old and apparently not particularly interested in Lily; While all of Lucinda's subsequent husbands happened while Lily was too busy obsessing about her own romantic life -- so Craig Montgomery became, almost by default, her big brother/quasi-father figure.
He was married to Lily's sister, Sierra, for many years, and even when everyone else seemed convinced (rightly) that Craig was behind his daughter Lucy's kidnapping, Lily continued to defend Craig.
Holden and Lily's impasse about Craig partially contributed to their split and Holden's subsequent affair with Julia. Lily stood up Holden on New Year's Eve to help rescue a kidnapped Craig, which is when Holden first faced his attraction to Julia and decided to leave Lily.
Craig repaid Lily's lifelong devotion and loyalty by taking advantage of her diet drug-addiction to get her to sign her shares of WorldWide over to him under the guise of helping her manage a baby-food company.
That's when the hate kicked in.
Craig driving Lucy and Johnny into exile didn't help.
But the fact is Lily has always had a soft spot for Craig. And he's been able to exploit that for all its worth.
Will history repeat itself, or has Lily finally wised up?
Find out this week, only on As The World Turns!

The lure of ATWT's characters is getting diluted after so many recasts. Maintaining their relationships is nice, but you had a perfectly wonderful pair playing Craig and Lily a year ago. They deserved Emmy nominations, too. Nobody will ever bring those parts to life like Bryce and Byrne. Since we're discussing the Walsh/Montgomery clan, has anyone told Sierra that her daughter has resurfaced after many moons of kidnapping?

Is there any way to have you post a picture or two of Luke and Noah locked on the roof together and how it goes down.

family will always be there for you so you should always be there for them.
What does this have to do with etiquette?
One thing I neglected to say is that sometimes a person can get defensive about a femily member and we know about that river in Egypt.So, is it better to pretend to agree, bean dip, or flat out disagree with them?
I say bean dip if they seem like they're drowning in that river.

The book contains suggestions for a wide range of locations, handmade letterpress invitations and decorations, delectable wedding cakes and buffets, wedding dresses, bouquets, and, of course, wedding rings and other paraphernalia that might be a bit different from what is expected, but are always tasteful. They will embolden anyone to make their own unique visions for their wedding day a reality.
Just Married is a book for everyone who wants to thoroughly enjoy their wedding day and not be hemmed in by the supposed rules of the wedding industry—because even the bride and groom should have only happy memories of their big day.
