LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. private equity group Blackstone (BX.N) may sell its half stake in a London office and retail complex, its partner British Land (BLND.L) said, a deal that could bring Blackstone a sevenfold return on its original investment.
Blackstone bought its share of the 30-acre Broadgate site in London's financial district from property firm British Land in September 2009 for 77 million pounds ($120.9 million), a stake now valued at 520.5 million pounds after debt, according to British Land's 2012 annual report.
Reuters reported in September 2011 that Blackstone was considering a sale of its stake in Broadgate, which would be one of London's largest property transactions in recent years.
The process appears to have taken a step forward since a lock-up agreement expired late last year, allowing a sale to go ahead.
British Land publicly acknowledged that Blackstone could sell out of Broadgate on Tuesday, saying: "We intend to retain our 50 percent stake and work closely with Blackstone through any sale process".
British Land Chief Executive Chris Grigg said the original sale to Blackstone had enabled his company to rebalance its London portfolio between the City and the West End districts and press ahead with developments that will bring in large profits.
"One can always look back and say 'if I knew then what I know now', but we sold at the time to give us financial flexibility," Grigg told Reuters after a trading update on Tuesday.
Blackstone was not immediately available for comment.
"It was always strategically the right thing for British Land to cut its exposure to the City but I have always questioned the timing," said Investec analyst Alan Carter.
The Broadgate development, which is adjacent to Liverpool Street train station, was built between 1984 and 2008 and could attract interest from Oxford Properties, the property arm of Canada's Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System and Norway's sovereign wealth fund, property experts said.
Broadgate tenants include Swiss bank UBS UBSN.VX, which is planning a 340 million pound London headquarters in Broadgate despite concerns it will struggle to fill the 700,000 building, which will include several trading floors, after deep job cuts.
"Predicting headcount in banking is something you can spend a lot of time fretting over," said British Land's Grigg. "From our point of view they have leased the whole building and my view is that it fits with their overall requirements."
British Land said a recent run of retailer failures across its portfolio including HMV and Jessops had pushed the number of units in administration to 1.2 percent from 0.8 percent at the end of 2012.
"There were a number of failures but they were principally failures we expected," said Grigg. "We have a great record of re-letting space."
($1 = 0.6367 British pounds)

Podcast: Eclipse Cleared to 410
File Size 4.0 MB / Running Time 3:53
After problems with carbon fouling in compressor vanes, the Eclipse 500 was limited to 30,000 feet, a fuel-inefficient altitude that saps its range. But now, says the company's Mason Holland, Pratt & Whitney has come up with a fix that involves a new burner can design. Eclipse's Ken Oden told us this week at AirVenture that the Pratt modification will extend the EA500's range to beyond 1,000 miles with NBAA reserves.

For physicians and public health researchers, guns are not unlike cars, swimming pools, bicycles, alcohol and prescription drugs: They are a common cause of injury to their patients and to the population at large; but with knowledge, physicians and public health experts believe, that injury can be limited or mitigated.
It's a perspective that the firearms industry and advocates of gun ownership roundly reject. And, as detailed in three leading medical journals, the gun lobby has been remarkably effective in their efforts to snuff out the notion that when it comes to guns, knowledge can reduce harm.
For physicians and public health researchers, the knowledge thing works this way: Researchers gather data on how all these modern conveniences -- be they motorcycles or assault rifles -- result in injury, and study what measures might make them less likely to injure. In the privacy of an exam room, doctors often ask patients about how often or how they make use of these everyday hazards. Then, drawing upon the work of researchers, physicians proffer advice on how their patients might limit their risk of injury.
Sometimes, medical professionals and public health researchers join forces and press for laws or regulations they believe will make us safer. That's how the United States spearheaded such injury-prevention initiatives as seat belts in cars, age restrictions on the sale of alcohol, and regulatory agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration.

Are You 'Cowboys Obsessed'??
I am. Everywhere I turn, I see something Cowboys. My apartment is filled with a lot Cowboys things. My truck is yellow in color, but I have Cowboys memorabilia all over it from stickers on the back of the truck bed to the steering wheel cover, all Cowboys. At work I have to wear scrubs but I have on Cowboys crocs and a Cowboys watch. My work badge also has a Cowboys pin on it too. I did have to make one scrub top into a Cowboys scrub top by putting a patch on it.. When I am not working, I am wearing something Cowboys. Just last week, I walked into a business and they recognized me because of all my Cowboys clothing I wear. I usually am wearing a Dallas Cowboys hat too. Are you the same way?
It has gotten to the point my fiancee is now a Cowboys fan by just watching me watch the games. She bleeds Blue and Silver just like me. I found that out in the Cowboys/Bills game 2 years ago. Tony had a bad game but Folk won it for us. I was jumping up and down and then looked over and she was doing the same. That's when I knew she was hooked. Now we have a little bambino on the way. She agreed with me that when the baby is born something to do with the Cowboys will be incorporated into the name. We know what the name will be if it is a boy or girl. But we wont give away that secret right now.
Does anyone feel the same way? Is anyone else 'Cowboys obsessed'? Maybe someone else is more obsessed than I am. Who knows. But we enjoy our Cowboys and are not afraid to show it. Now the only thing I haven't done is meet a Dallas Cowboy in person, someday I think I will. But living in Bear country it is slim. In the next few months I will be featured in Dallas Cowboys Star magazine in the fan profile section. My next thing is to get an Cowboys tattoo with my fiancee and kids name in it somewhere. If you would like to see what some of my room looks like go to my myspace page. If your not a friend already become one. If that isn't obsessed I don't know what is. Tell me ways you are obsessed with our beloved Cowboys?
How 'bout them Cowboys!

'Velcro protein' found to play surprising role in cell migration
|(Nanowerk News) Studying epithelial cells, the cell type that most commonly turns cancerous, Johns Hopkins researchers have identified a protein that causes cells to release from their neighbors and migrate away from healthy mammary, or breast, tissue in mice. They also found that deletion of a cellular "Velcro protein" does not cause the single-celled migration expected. Their results, they say, help clarify the molecular changes required for cancer cells to metastasize.
|Because epithelial cells give rise to 85 percent of all cancers, the work may have implications outside of breast cancer. A summary of the results was published online on March 3 in The Journal of Cell Biology ("Twist1-induced dissemination preserves epithelial identity and requires E-cadherin").
|Normal epithelial cells (red) in this fragment of a mouse mammary duct form branched structures. However, cells that turn on the gene Twist1 (green) detach from neighboring cells and migrate into the surrounding environment. (Image: Eliah Shamir)
|Epithelial cells line the inside and outside of organs throughout the body. The team focused their work on mammary epithelial cells, which form the ducts that carry milk within the breast. "Tumor cells have to break their connections to other epithelial cells in order to leave the breast and build metastases in other parts of the body," explains Andrew Ewald, Ph.D., assistant professor of cell biology and oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
|For their study, Ewald's team removed small pieces of mammary tissue from normal mice and grew them in gels that mimic their natural environment. By using colored proteins to mark different types of cells, they were able to use microscopes to watch how cell behavior varied with the genetics of the cells.
|The first protein they studied was E-cadherin, which is found on the surface of most epithelial cells and is used to connect epithelial cells to each other. E-cadherin is like the Velcro that holds epithelial cells together, and its absence is often associated with human breast cancers, says Ewald.
|In one experiment, the team deleted the protein from normal mouse mammary cells and watched what happened. Expecting the cells to completely disconnect and move out on their own into the surrounding gel, the researchers were surprised to find that most of the epithelial cells remained connected to each other, although their organization was disrupted. Some of the epithelial cells did penetrate the gel, but usually in single-file "columns" that remained connected to the tissue. A similar result was seen in live mice.
|"For tumor cells to metastasize, they have to begin interacting with the proteins outside of the tumor and eventually strike out on their own," says Eliah Shamir, a graduate student in Ewald's lab and lead author on the study. "When we deleted E-cadherin, the epithelial cells began interacting more with proteins in the gel, but they didn't lose contact with the rest of the mammary tissue."
|In a second set of experiments, the team turned on a gene called Twist1, which is thought to affect the activity of many genes needed to transform groups of stationary epithelial cells into independent, mobile cells. The result, they say, was dramatic. Within 24 hours of turning on Twist1, dozens of individual cells began to move past the epithelial boundary and into the gel beyond. Again, similar results were seen when the experiment was repeated in live mice.
|Surprisingly, the researchers say that when they caused epithelial cells lacking E-cadherin to turn on Twist1, the cells were no longer able to escape into the gel as single cells. Instead, they created many "columns" of cells, which didn't detach from the mammary tissue. These results suggest that the single-celled detachment and migration induced by Twist1 actually requires the presence of E-cadherin ? the Velcro protein that helps bind the cells together. "This finding is quite counterintuitive," Ewald says, "and we are eager to understand the biology behind it."
|Since Twist1 is known to affect the activity of many genes, the researchers have begun to narrow down which of those genes is responsible for the cellular spread they witnessed. With that information, they hope to identify new means of preventing metastasis.
|"Our goal is to improve outcomes for patients with metastatic breast cancer, and this work takes us one step closer to doing so," says Ewald.

The CIA Might Have Your Password After All
According to journalist Barton Gellman, a confidant of Edward Snowden, the spy agency's viral account is funny—but not telling the whole truth.
The CIA has been earning rave reviews for the pitch-perfect comedy of its newly created Twitter account.
But while facetious tweets like "No, we don't know where Tupac is" or "We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet" have lent a little levity to an intelligence community buried by Edward Snowden's airing of its spy-program laundry, the comedy has not dissuaded journalists from fact-checking at least one of the account's claims.
In a lengthy article Friday, Washington Post journalist Barton Gellman attempted to answer some questions that have surfaced since he reported last week on a new Snowden leak. Buried deep in the report is a two-paragraph gem that says the CIA's Twitter, while funny, is also propagating misinformation.
The CIA opened a Twitter account last month and has used cheeky humor to win a large following in a short time. On Monday, the account sent out this announcement: "No, we don't know your password, so we can't send it to you." It went viral, with more than 12,000 retweets.
As it happens, the [National Security Agency] files we examined included 1,152 "minimized U.S. passwords," meaning passwords to American e-mail and chat accounts intercepted from U.S. data links. Don't expect tech support from Langley, but the CIA does have access to that raw traffic.
Those numbers come from a batch of 160,000 intercepted communications provided by Snowden, a tiny sample of the Internet data the NSA routinely collects. U.S. communications that are incidentally collected during surveillance of a foreign target are required to be "minimized," meaning there are limits to how they can be searched. But such searches are not forbidden, and, Gellman notes, agencies can distribute U.S. identities in reports to one another.
Gellman's big NSA exposé last week claimed that the vast majority of Internet accounts monitored by U.S. intelligence agencies do not belong to overseas targets, but instead to ordinary Internet users who communicate directly with those targets.
The implications of Gellman's story are profound and serious, and partially refute some findings in a report from the president's independent privacy-watchdog panel, which declared the NSA's foreign surveillance techniques legal and effective.
The CIA Twitter account's may be attempting to leverage levity for flexibility with the facts, but that's unlikely to quell the horde of anti-surveillance activists who claim the intelligence community has persistently been misleading and dishonest about the true magnitude of its spy programs.

The Research Council of Norway has entered into a cooperation agreement with the Norwegian Industrial Property Office. The two agencies will be collaborating to ensure that intangible assets resulting from R&D projects are utilised in a legally sound manner.
"It is essential to social and industrial development that the results of R&D projects not only are put to use, but are applied effectively and properly. Intellectual property rights (IPR) comprise a key element in this process," says Anne Kjersti Fahlvik, Executive Director of the Division for Innovation of the Research Council
The Industrial Property Office and the Research Council are planning a number of joint information and training activities. The two agencies are also considering coordinating and developing existing and new services. The objective is to provide a wide array of opportunities to the customers they share.

My whole life I have only looked at shemale porn, heterosexual porn, lesbian porn and female masturbation porn. I have only been aroused at gay porn one time. Suffice to say, I fap to only porn which has girls in it. Gay porn makes me feel a bit awkward.
But all I'm saying is, if I had this body there'd be a lot of happy guys. If I could possess a girl's body, I would be the biggest whore and bi as hell. Because I would feel no shame, it would be someone else's body not my own body, I could do whatever I want.
I think most heterosexuals are like this, I talk to straight dudes and ask them if one day they woke up as girl, what would happen, they tell me they would suck so much dick. I think most heterosexuals are attracted to the idea of heterosexuality, the idea of a girl being with a man. I think this is why men deny having a feminine side, because they want to fulfill the role of a man because they idealize heterosexuality, when they are really just a girl playing the role of the man in order to please other girls. An example of this is Sheriff Carter in Eureka, deep down I think he has a female mind but fulfills the role of a man for other women. This was also made into a joke in one of the episodes where Sheriff has the symptoms of pregnancy.
There are three types of transsexuals, heterosexual transsexuals lesbian transsexuals and bi transsexuals, I think basically heterosexual transsexuals believe in heterosexuality but would rather be the woman than the man, or man than the woman. Most heterosexual transsexuals live a straight lifestyle as a man attracted to women, then suddenly flip flop and say they are a woman only attracted to men. I think lesbian transsexuals have high estrogen and are scared of penis, I think bi transsexuals have medium testosterone and flip flop constantly. I think some lesbian transsexuals have high testosterone, which is converted into high estrogen.
The point is, I think we all just want to make ourselves and everybody happy, this is what drives us in everything we do, this is why we make art and get happy contributing ideas to society, humans just want to make everyone happy and this is what makes us human, we have kindness compassion and sympathy for others. The true test of strength is if we can feel comfortable around ugly people, most people cannot, deep down we want ugly people to be happy but don't feel comfortable around them, so in that case we must step up, be a pimp, we don't have to fuck them ourselves but we try our damndest to place that responsibility on someone else. By finding them some hot, fine and sexy whores in heat so we don't have to. And goddamn, this is what it truly means being human.

G3 versus the cliffWebshots member jpizzle1122 and a few friends found an old Macintosh G3 computer, that one of the Emerson College computer labs was throwing out. Instead of sending the machine to the local scrap heap, they took it home, scavenged it for parts, and then did the only sensible thing a technology enthusiast could do--tossed the computer over a 45-foot cliff to test the G3's "impact resistance". Okay, this experiment is a little light on science, but it more than makes up for it with copious computer carnage.

Yes, you read that right. The Asshole Fee. What, you might ask, is an Asshole Fee? I developed it after I had been consulting for awhile. I will start by saying that 99.9% of my clients are fabulous. But every once in awhile, I work on a large project in which I work with multiple people outside of my regular client pool. And some of these people are assholes.
It all began one day when I was working on a large project. I was responsible for writing multiple letters, and had received names of people for these letters over the telephone. We had a very very short time allotted to this project, so I wrote the names down and wrote my letters, and neither the person who told me the names nor I verified the spelling of the names. So, I sent the letters around for review to the fifty other people working on this project. And the Asshole sent back an email to me, cc'ing everyone else on the project, correcting the spellings of the names. He couldn't just quietly do it in track changes in his versions of the documents. Oh no. He had to ridicule me in front of a cast of dozens. My first reaction was that I was angry. But then, I simply opened my excel document in which I was tracking changes, and added an extra hour to my tally. I thought, "That was a very expensive email, Asshole, and I hope you're happy now." After that, I was able to get back to work, without my focus being interrupted by the Asshole-ness of his behavior.
Yes. I really do charge people for the privilege of being assholes. The fee is exactly what it sounds like.
I have used The Asshole Fee only one or two more times, but I love the fact that I have it. I have talked to other consultants since then, and I have discovered that some people actually have a line on their invoices that is something like: TAF: $100. They say nobody has ever questioned them about what TAF is.
I mentioned TAF to my uncle once at a family dinner. He own his own company too, and we were talking about clients who have difficult personalities. His wife laughed and told me, "You never want to say no to people or to garner bad will. You raise their fees until they either won't work with you anymore-- and what can they say except that you are too expensive? Or you raise them to the point that you don't mind working for them."
I have a friend who does freelance graphic design work. She had worked with a particular client and not enjoyed the experience, so when they contacted her again, she quoted them twice her original fees. And they still wanted to hire her. So, she worked with them, but she didn't mind nearly so much working at that rate of pay.

Industries searching for offshore oil should not drill in sensitive waters before fully ensuring all safety measures are in place, says IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).
According to the world's largest environmental network, protection of the environment should be a top priority for both industry and national regulators and environmental scientists should be part of any plans for offshore oil drilling.
"We need a plan B before going into these sensitive areas," says Carl Gustaf Lundin, Director of IUCN's Global Marine and Polar Programme. "What happened a year ago in the Gulf of Mexico should never happen again and it is on the industry to prove ahead of time that they could do their job, without risking the health of the planet."
A conference on how to manage oil spill risks, co-sponsored by IUCN, was held in Sweden last month. Oil industry specialists, including the chairman of BP, government officials and researchers, all recognised the increased risk of oil spills in difficult environments. In the Arctic, for example, the remoteness, the extreme weather, the lack of infrastructure and the environmental stress due to climate change, pose serious challenges for the offshore industry.
"One year after the largest oil spill disaster in the United States, there's still no clear indication from BP's chairman what new technologies and improvements in procedures are needed to avoid losing more lives and destroying the environment," adds Lundin. "Deep sea drilling should go hand-in-hand with sound scientific research, in order to make sure that economic opportunities do not impact the environment in a negative way."
Whenever drilling is happening in sensitive areas, using two drilling platforms at the same time would greatly reduce the risk of a large oil spill, according to IUCN. If an explosion similar to the one last year happens, and two rigs are drilling the same well, it could be sealed much faster and the impacts could be greatly reduced.
The increased interest of the oil and gas industry to look for opportunities in the remote waters of the Arctic Ocean is bringing the scientific community together to protect the richest and most vulnerable places in the Arctic. According to IUCN, internationally agreed "no-go" areas should be created there to avoid the greatest risks to nature. IUCN is currently involved in mapping the Arctic and identifying the areas that should be protected.

text: Over 350 students thank St. Mike's Alumni News Home 04.02.13 By: Buff Lindau Last week, students showed their appreciation for Saint Michael's donors in an outpouring of gratitude during Alumni Appreciation Week. Institutional Advancement and 40 student volunteers put on a three day Thank-a-thon in Alliot Lobby. More than 350 students wrote thank you postcards to donors, and an even greater number sported "I Like Saint Mike's Alumni" stickers around campus. One student from the Class of 2015 wrote, "Thank you for making my education at Saint Michael's College possible - it has truly changed the way I think and express myself." A senior expressed her gratitude for scholarship support by saying, "My merit scholarship drew me here and the wonderful magic of the community, academics and opportunities on campus have kept me here." Support from alumni, parents and friends help to make each student's Saint Michael's experience possible. On average gifts provide $7,000 per student per year to bridge the difference between what is paid and the actual cost per student. A big thank you to everyone on campus who participated!

Fast forward to Xmas day of 2008. I made the same terrible mistake of booking my flight back home with UA. Only this time they kept the door open (not just for me I suspect, as several other passengers came after me, including a UA flight attendant). I barely made it, again with the excuse of bad weather (this time at IAD) and they almost left me stranded. There were no apologies from the employees for getting us out the door late again (the same situation that happened above miraculously happened yet again 3 years to the day of my first UA nightmare) The only reason I booked the flight was because there was a 1.5hr layover between my flights, which I thought was enough to keep me covered and ensure that I would make it on time to my next flight and the next trip was not only more expensive, but I thought, even more inconvenient than UA's flight home. At my home base airport, once I noticed that the plane was not going to be on time, I tried talking to one of the employees at the gate. I told her about my previous experience and that I was sure the plane would not make it on time and I'd again lose my flight. She replied that they'd make everything they could to get us out on time, but this was out of her hands and unless I did make it in to IAD late they would not do a thing for me other than wait and see (I get this and why they can't rebook you just like that, but when you've been through something similar once, you just expect the worst and do not want to re-live it). Once I made it to the plane I was crying uncontrollably as I could not believe it had happened again, even with more layover time. On a side note, if you've been to IAD you know how traveler unfriendly that airport is. Not only is it an eyesore, the layout of the airport is most inconvenient. You have to get on those shuttles that look like war tanks and pray that the driver will be on time so that you can rush out the door and attempt to get to your gate, much like I did.
As if this was not enough, now that I live in Canada and use the DTW airport as my home airport they just keep screwing it up to the finest of their abilities. Seriously United, what the f&^% is going on? On July of 2010 I was scheduled to get to DTW at 9:45pm. My day started at 12:51pm, when my plane was to leave for IAD. I had 3 flights with around 45 minutes of layover each. It was scheduled to be a marathon, but I was ready to take it on, and I was also ready to "deal" with UA and their fine way of screwing up my plans. The passengers were in and set at 12:51 pm, then it took 10 minutes to close the door of the plane, and then we were sitting at the start of the runway for what seemed like an eternity (25-30 minutes, actually). While this is happening I'm looking at my watch and thinking that my luck can't be this bad. I know I'm going to lose my connection at IAD to ORD, I just know it. Also, there are no updates as to why we're just sitting there, having other planes, big and small, fly all around us while we're just doing nothing. When the captain finally spoke he said 2 things: 1) that we were about to leave and 2) that the company was aware of the delay and they'd have customer service representatives meet us at the door in Dulles to see who could and couldn't make it to their connections. Nothing about why we got behind schedule, nothing about bad weather, a missing piece of the plane, or something along those lines. Nada. Cero. Nothing. And it irks me to no end. They plane personnel has changed the speech (to saying things like "the company is aware" and blah, blah, blah) but still, that is of no consolation when you know that you will most likely miss a flight due to unknown reasons. Reasons that this good-for-nothing company according to me, enjoys to no end.

Postgame quotes after the Revolution defeat Puebla with a 5-3 shootout win following a 1-1 Draw after 90 minutes
I don't think the goalie could've gotten to any of (the penalty kicks), but we should have wrapped it up before that. We probably had four chances that should have been put away … But we can't complain – we're through and we won the game.
On the team's confidence …
I think that has a lot to do with the fact that we haven't lost for [six] games. They just feel as though when things go against you, we can keep going and keep going. That's what we did.
We had to try to win this game, and looked to start (Cory Gibbs). But he's missed five weeks, so to ask him to play three games in a week was going to be tough. So we figured we would be solid without him … the fact that we are allowed four subs in this tournament helped make it possible to (sub him in at the start of the second half).
I think (Kenny Mansally) got his confidence from Saturday – he came on and worked real hard and caused (Philadelphia) problems on Saturday and then just carried it into tonight. When you score goals, obviously – if you don't take confidence from it, there's a problem.
We had the win in penalty kicks. Matty (Reis) was huge in penalty kicks, as usual, and (Kenny) Mansally the winner, so it was a good win for us tonight. We are going to the finals!
I think Kevin spotted me up to play the through ball to Kenny (Mansally) and [Kevin] played the ball perfectly in my stride. Once I got it, I wanted to push forward and Zack (Schilawski) made a great huge run off the ball where he was able to open up the space for Kenny. Kenny was just in the stride and I tried to play the ball a little ahead of him and he took a great touch - he stumbled a little, but he was still able to create a great finish.
I think the last five or six games is all about keeping the 11, 12 or 13 guys on the field and staying healthy. Unfortunately tonight we got a little banged up with (Marko) Perovic and then Kevin (Alston), but once we have the same core guys on the field, we try to keep them on the field for 90 minutes because it helps our confidence and our chemistry and we want to transfer that to the MLS games.
I think SuperLiga helped me a lot since last year. I didn't get a lot of chances during the league but when the SuperLiga came, I just stepped in and tried to prove myself. It helping me to get back to the way I like to play with more confidence.
I got all the confidence when Matt (Reis) saved that ball. I said let me just go and do it. I had a couple chances that I missed but when I scored the penalty, I think everything was okay.
Each one I got a little bit closer. The first one I went the wrong way, but all the rest of the ones I was clicking closer and closer. He stutter-steps and I just tried to stay as long as possible. We were taking good penalties. I think everyone hit really, really good penalties and in this kind of situation, that's what you need, so it only took one save.
It was very similar to the goal in Philadelphia where it was a bit of a scramble and somebody comes around and hits it. It went through - I think – Darrius (Barnes') legs, and there's a question of a handball on the guy, so it's unfortunate. I think that it's something we have gotten better at, but it's something that has plagued us in the past - giving up goals after we score one.
I think a lot of us had tired legs out there and we covered for each other. We had a couple guys go down, but we weren't giving up too much, weren't really scrambling too much, and we were making a lot of saves, so all-in-all, we're still defensively playing well.
Felicidades al equipo ganador. Muchas felicidades al equipo ganador. Gano bien. Y Gracias. Con permiso.
Congratulations to the winning team. Many congratulations to the winning team. They won well. Thank you. Excuse me.
Creo que fue un partido cuando los dos equipos buscamos ganar, un partido donde los dos equipos tuvieron oportunidades para resolver antes de los penales. Desafortunadamente para nosotros, no conseguimos el segundo gol que nos daria la tranquilidad para manejar el partido. Y bueno, en los penales, cualquier cosa puede pasar, alli ya depende mucho de cualquier detallita para ganar. Esta vez nos toco perder.
It was a game in which both teams went out to win, a game in which both teams had opportunities to resolve matters before penalty kicks. Unfortunately, we didn't get a second goal that would have relaxed us and allowed us to manage the rest of the game. And when it comes to penalty kicks, anything can happen. It depends on the tiniest details to win at that point, and well, this time it didn't go our way.
Fijate que ya conociamos [al Revolution], ya lo hemos visto en video y aqui en la MLS porque estan pasando mas partidos en Mexico. Y bueno, es un estilo un poco diferente con mucha velocidad y esfuerza, quizas no tanto en tecnica, pero es muy parecido un estilo Europea. Creo que ya conociamos bien el rival, pero pudimos concretar bastantes oportunidades de gol para marcar la diferencia.
We already knew a lot about [the Revolution] coming in, we had seen plenty of video about them and the league in general. It's a little different style of play than we're used to facing, with a lot of speed and strength and maybe not as much technical ability, but it's very similar to a European style. I think we knew the opponent well enough, but we just didn't finish enough opportunities to make the difference.
Sin duda, es un golpe bastante fuerte. Tuvimos la oportunidad de salir campeones, y nos quedamos afuera. Ahora nuevamente vinimos con una máxima ilusión de llegar a una final y de ganar un torneo que para mi es importante….estuvimos muy cerquita para lograrlo, y creo que en los penales tuvimos la oportunidad.
Without a doubt, this is a pretty strong blow. We had the opportunity to come out as champions but now we are out. We came again (to the Superliga tournament) with a maximum illusion of reaching the finals and winning a tournament that is important to me…we were very close to achieving it, and I think that we had the chance during the penalty kicks.
Si, lo hablamos. Teniamos que tener mas precisión en las pelotas aereas, y mas concentración en las pelotas aereas al favor. Y teniamos que sacar ventaja de una forma u otra. Tuvimos ocasiones y no pudimos completarlas de la major forma y en nuestro favor. E hicimos que el equipo rival tuviera otras oportunidades. Después de 25 minutos en el segundo tiempo, se fueron alantes. Creo que nosotros tuvimos que aprovechar el juego que vinimos jugando en el primer tiempo en el segundo y tartar de marcar el gol lo más pronto posible.
Yes, we talked about that. We had to have more precision on the aerial balls and more concentration of the aerial balls that were in our favor. We had to get an advantage in one way or another. We had occasions in our favor, but we were unable to complete them in the best way. We allowed the rival team to have more opportunities. After 25 minutes in the second half, they went ahead. I think that we had to take advantage of the game that we played in the first half and continue in the second half and try to score a goal as quickly as possible.
Bien, bien. Igualmente creo que este tipo de cancha es una cancha super rápida, así que el balón rueda rápido. En este tipo de terreno de juego, se tiene que jugar con un toque, dos toques y tartar de buscar la movilidad. El equipo rival tiene una situación donde no conoce el terreno, y nosotros de una forma o de otra nos tenemos que acomodar a todo eso. Tratamos lo major possible.
Good, good. Likewise I think that this type of field is a super fast field, so the ball moves quickly. In this type of pitch, you must play with one or two touches and try to find mobility. The rival team has a situation where it is not familiar with the pitch, and in some way we have to accommodate to that. We tried the best we could.
Fue una jugada aislada, y creo que la mentalidad del equipo ha sido no caerse despues de un gol recibida y buscar el gol del rival, y lo encontramos rápidamente. Eso nos ha servido y hemos podido ir alante con ese tipo de actitud. Creo que tuvimos bastantes ocasiones para convertir un gol.
It was an isolated play, and I think that the mentality of the team has been to not fall apart after conceding a goal and to look for the rival's goal, and we found it quickly. That has worked for us and we have been able to go ahead with that type of attitude. I think that we had enough chances to convert on a goal.

Villagers | WIG253 | Released: 22/05/10
From the very first seconds of Becoming a Jackal, he's got you. A faint drone of organ, joined by eerie strings and a cascade of piano that collectively casts a Hitchcock movie shadow before a hushed voice asks, "Have you got just a minute? / Are you easily led? / Let me show the backroom / Where I saw the dead / Dancing like children on a midsummer morn / And they asked me to join" – and then the music obliges by with a similar spectral sweep. 'I Saw the Dead' is an introduction to the vivid narratives, gripping poetry and melodic depth of Conor J. O'Brien – or as he likes to call himself and his cohorts, Villagers.
Over the course of 11 varied, subtle, complex and plain gorgeous songs, the Dubliner shows just why he is Domino's latest signing. O'Brien namechecks David Axelrod, Jens Lekman, Robert Wyatt and Rufus Wainwright but you could equally add Paddy McAloon, Paul Simon and Randy Newman to the possible roots of this record.
Growing up in Dun Laoghaire, a southeast seaside Dublin suburb, O'Brien wrote his first song, aged just 12, a week after his older brother lent Conor his acoustic guitar. "Bizarrely enough, my first lyric was "When I'm walking down these streets, I feel like a monkey in the Arctic". I haven't told Domino that yet! The song was called 'Psychic', which was about being afraid of a psychic friend because he could read your thoughts. Yes, it was a weird one..."
Roald Dahl books, Jim Henson fantasy films (The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth) and a passion for model painting fed the teen Conor's imagination, while his first band, formed with three friends from St. Conleth's College in Ballsbridge, Dublin, defined the adult version. The Immediate were loved in Ireland for their whip-smart, literate bursts of melody, and their sole album In Towers and Clouds was considered the best homegrown debut since U2's Boy back in 1980. But as the accolades escalated, the band shocked everyone by suddenly breaking up.
"It felt like ending an incredible long-term relationship. I'm terrified of bands now, so I do everything myself" says O'Brien, who created the artwork and played all the instruments on Becoming a Jackal (except for the strings and French Horn which were arranged by Villagers pianist/organist Cormac Curran).
After choosing the name Villagers - "I like the name because it doesn't offend the songs" - O'Brien released The Hollow Kind EP in February 2009 and the 7" "On a Sunlit Stage" last October on the Any Other City label, run by Villagers drummer James Byrne. After signing to Domino, Becoming a Jackal was recorded in Villagers guitarist Tommy McLaughlin's home studio, with Tommy engineering and co-producing alongside Conor. "We wanted to make it sound a bit like a Neil Young album, not to dress it up too much, like someone is whispering in your ear, but also to get the epic-ness at times."
From restrained to unleashed, from a whisper to a literal howl, Becoming a Jackal mutates, intrigues and beguiles in equal measure.

Stealth Mode = Miss The Boat Mode
from the that-train-has-already-sailed dept
"Stealth Mode" is the name of a start-up strategy where the founding team develops their product and business in secret. The tactic is based on the fear that, if their idea were to get out, other companies would copy it, and the originators would face competitors. The use of Stealth Mode has swung in and out of fashion in Silicon Valley over the past decade, but was hottest during the tech bubble at the end of the last century. Back then, .com startups were so hot that investors would salivate over the latest stealthy startup, eager to throw some easy money at it. But whatever the fashion, with few exceptions, I think that running a startup in Stealth mode is short-sighted, arrogant, and counter-productive. Here's why:
- Founders who want to operate in stealth are usually of the opinion that their idea is soooo very unique, that to share it would be to divulge the crown jewels. There are two reasons that is naive:
- Your idea is almost certainly not unique. Someone else has had the same idea, and if it's any good, someone else is working on developing it.
- You are going to have to share your idea at some point in order to sell it, so your secrecy is short-lived at best.
- A consistent Techdirt posit is that execution is far more important than idea. Whether you reveal your idea or not, how you execute versus direct competitors and near substitutes will determine whether you succeed or not (see bullet 4).
- If execution is important, a critical part of execution is networking, getting your idea out there, meeting the right partners, employees, VCs, Angels, channels, and early adopters. In fact, this professional networking is the core of Silicon Valley culture, and "Stealth" is the antithesis of that culture. Ask yourself: Which culture worked better over the years: Silicon Valley's open idea sharing, or Route 128's tight secrecy and control?
- Stealth mode prevents the creation of any kind of buzz around your company. Early in a company's life, buzz among the tech community (VCs, executives, industry insiders) is very valuable. You want to be the first name that rolls off of someone's tongue when your startup sector is mentioned, like Admob was for mobile ads, Slingbox was for place-shifting, or Loopt was for social LBS. This gives you tremendous advantage in word-of-mouth mentions, as a "must check" comparable before a VC invests in a competitor, as a target for any large partner seeking to adopt similar technology, or a corporate M&A effort seeks to buy a sector leader.
- Stealth mode prevents feedback from savvy friends, the tech community, beta adopters. It limits the fresh thinking, free advice, and diversity of ideas that go into product cycles.
Partly as the result of this kind of thinking, Stealth Mode is out of fashion these days. Most VCs refuse to even sign NDAs with startups, not wanting to don legal handcuffs, while being less interested in a company that is counting on secrecy as one of the tenets of their success.
Part 2 - Case In Point: Checkpoint
I was reminded of the issue of stealth companies today when I read about CheckPoint at Wireless Week. CheckPoint is a startup that is in "Stealth Mode" and is building a mobile app for checking into retail stores, and then having the app suggest products to have a look at in that store. Wait... How is it that I can tell you what CheckPoint does if they are in Stealth? Well, I guess it's because stealth is such a lousy idea that the CEO himself revealed the company strategy to Wireless Week one month before coming out of stealth mode! Basically, with yesterday's Facebook's announcement that it is entering the location check-in sector, CheckPoint has realized that the party might be over before they even show up. They have missed out on the buzz grabbed by startups FourSquare and Gowalla as they dominated the sector before the giant Facebook stepped in to mop up.
CheckPoint's CEO tries to make the best of the situation by saying,
...[CheckPoint] has very little in common with them [FourSquare, Gowalla, Facebook] because they're primarily for social connections. CheckPoints is focused on tangible products and helping consumers connect with products that are interesting to them...There's no one really focusing on product in this space right now...
If he honestly thinks that, he really has been in hiding for too long! All of those Check-In services are clearly focused on driving product sales in the locations users visit. It's just that they are using your friends as the bait that makes the app sticky. First, get the bait, then move the product. CheckPoint's secret strategy is [shh] "First, push the in-store products, then offer discounts." It's like a scavenger hunt with discounts as the reward. I'm not saying it's a terrible idea, but I think the Facebook/FourSquare/Gowalla approach seems better.
Either way, CheckPoint's reaction to Facebook's sector entry is a cold reminder of the real threat for any startup: it's not that someone else will steal your idea - someone else probably already has it - nope, the real threat is that you will toil in obscurity as better-known and/or larger players execute on grabbing market share.

Sound Tigers try to rediscover scoring touch
BRIDGEPORT -- After eight losses in 10 games, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers got three days off.
The all-star break, for all but the team's two representatives in Providence, meant a few days to recover from a rough weekend in Norfolk, Va.
"We haven't been playing as good," forward John Persson said. "It was good to get a break away from the rink."
The break ended at practice Wednesday night at Webster Bank Arena, where the Sound Tigers will play Providence on Thursday to begin three games in three nights.
"It all starts in practice. It's going to come in games," Persson said.
After Bridgeport won five of six to end December, January hasn't been kind.
The team lost its first five after New Year's Day, dropping the last two despite playing with its full complement of players bound for the NHL. It won two but has lost the last three by a combined score of 11-2.
The Sound Tigers scored 73 seconds into Friday's 2-1 loss and lost 5-0 Saturday, so they're on a 118-minute, 47-second scoreless streak.
"It's funny. I'm still upset about the weekend," coach Scott Pellerin said. "I didn't want that to be the message.
"I wanted the guys to come back, regroup, refreshed and refocused," he said.
From afar, they at least looked loose Wednesday as they got back to the grind, trying to figure a way back to the success that ended last month.

ABOUT THE SOUND TIGERS: Bridgeport lost eight of its last 10 before the all-star break and scored two goals in the last three games. ... F Matt Watkins (upper body) and RW Max MacKay (flu) appear ready to return to the lineup. C Johan Sundstrom (upper body) is day-to-day. ... RW Nino Niederreiter leads the team at 19-17-36.

UP NEXT: Friday at Connecticut Whale, 7 p.m.
"Probably just playing more like a team," Persson said. "The (defensemen) are there, the forwards are there. Play tighter, play harder."
One thing that will help: The Sound Tigers appear set to get Matt Watkins back from injury. He adds depth at center after missing four of the past five games.
Johan Sundstrom, another centerman, practiced Wednesday night but without taking contact after missing three games. Pellerin termed him day-to-day, but it's not likely they'll throw him back into action without a full-contact practice.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts will bestow their highest honour at this years GAME British Academy Video Games Awards to the gather of Atari and pioneer of Pong, Nolan Bushnell.
Nolan Bushnell will be inducted into the BAFTA Fellowship at the 2009 award ceremony on March 10th in London, England. The Fellowship is the highest honour that BAFTA can bestow on an individual, and this year they're giving it to Bushnell for ushering in the era of the video game. Bushnell is understandably ecstatic.
"I am humbled to be selected for this honour from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. The British people are not only great game players but have historically been some of the best game creators. The pub culture and country house drawing room environments have been instrumental in spawning games and game players through the centuries. I am very grateful to receive an award from the people with a history of creating and embracing this type of entertainment."
In other words, they love him...they really love him. Good going, Bushie.

NBC's "Today" held off "Good Morning America" in the ratings for three of the first four days of this week, despite the addition of former "Today" anchor Katie Couric guest-hosting "GMA."
"Today," the top-rated morning show, typically beats "GMA" by more than half a million total viewers. On Thursday, "Today" led by 435,000. It had 5.07 million total viewers, down from its seasonal average of 5.4 million. "GMA" had 4.64 million, down from its average of 4.9 million.

"Today" also beat "GMA" Monday and Tuesday, though "GMA" had more total viewers Wednesday. (It beat "Today" twice last week.)
In the adults 25-54 demo most important to advertisers, "Today" won Monday through Thursday. But the margin was narrowest on Thursday, when "GMA" came within 228,000 viewers. "Today" usually wins by 442,000 viewers in the key demo. On Thursday, "Today" had 2.09 million viewers 25-54, while "GMA" had 1.86 million.
