NEW YORK — Paul George returned from an injured ankle to make the tiebreaking jumper with 23.6 seconds left, and the Indiana Pacers beat the New York Knicks 92-87 on Sunday night to tie for seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
The Pacers blew an 18-point lead in the second half against a Knicks team missing its two best scorers, but recovered to join Detroit at 41-36 and stay two games ahead of ninth-place Chicago.
George finished with 20 points and nine rebounds, returning to the game midway through the fourth quarter after the Pacers had said he was questionable to play further because of a sore left ankle.
Sasha Vujacic scored 21 points for the Knicks, who...

All six of the Phillies' major league coaches have agreed to contracts for the 2012 season, the Phillies announced today.
Mick Billmeyer (bullpen), Rich Dubee (pitching), Greg Gross (hitting), Pete Mackanin (bench), Sam Perlozzo (first base) and Juan Samuel (third base), along with bullpen catcher Jesus Tiamo, will resume their respective positions.
"I couldn't be happier to have the whole staff back for another season," Manuel said in a statement. "Their dedication and work ethic speak for themselves and they were a huge part of our 102 wins."
Billmeyer, 47, is the longest-tenured member of the coaching staff after joining it in 2004 as the major league catching instructor.
The 2012 season will be his ninth with the Phillies and the eighth for Dubee, fourth for Mackanin and Perlozzo, third for Gross and second for Samuel.

The average credit score, one of the best measures of financial responsibility, is finally starting to stabilize, after a steady slide from 2006 to 2009, suggesting consumer belt tightening is starting to work.
The national average was 747.10 at the end of 2010, according to Experian, one of the three big credit-reporting agencies. That's on a scale of 501 to 990.
Experian, along with the other major credit-reporting agencies, Equifax and TransUnion, use a system called VantageScoreto determine a person's credit score. It takes into consideration your payment history, how much you use your credit cards, if you carry a balance, how long you've been using credit cards and how much credit is still available to you.
VantageScore 2.0, which launched at the beginning of 2011, blends data from two different timeframes – 2006 to 2008 and 2007 to 2009 – in order to distinguish those people who may have been fiscally responsible before the recession but fell on hard times in the past few years.
Here are 10 cities that had the highest credit scores at the end of 2010. All but two cities on the list have unemployment rates well below the national average.
Bert Sperling of BestPlaces.netsaid when he studied "fiscal fitness" of cities a few years ago, western Pennsylvania and the Midwest ranked high, just as they did on this list. "Talking with financial professionals in those areas, they spoke about a culture of thrift, saving, and the ability to look at the long term. Psychologists would also call this an ability to defer gratification," he said. "There is also something in the Germanic and Scandinavian ethic that is more frugal and less indulgent."
Some of the other cities on the list are notable high-tech hubs, where there tends to be more demand for jobs and higher income.
Click through to see if your city made the list.
Sources: Credit data from Experian are for December 2010, and unemployment data from theLabor Department are for February 2011, the most recent periods for which those data are available. Other data were compiled by BestPlaces.net.

I'm sure you use a chart or two in your presentations, PowerPoint decks or ops reviews. Maybe you use four or five. Perhaps you have four or five charts on one slide. If you do, shame on you.
But are you making these three common charting mistakes?
The TimeLord Chart.
On the surface, the Timelord can pass as a normal chart, in the same way a Galifreyan can pass as human. It's the subtle differences that make this chart a problem. First there's the utter indifference to the laws of nature and the linear flow of time. For most humans, time flows forward. The year 2010 is followed by 2011, then 2012 and so on. The Timelord turns this conceit on its head. Time flows backwards, from right to left, instead of forwards, from left to right. Then there's the prediction of the future boldly stated as if it has happened. No dotted lines or subtle shading to indicate a projection or an estimate for the Timelord.
The Harlequin Chart.
Principally the reserve of the color-challenged and the default settings in excel, the Harlequin pops up when showing multiple values and selecting automatic fill in excel. The problem here is all the colors do is show that you have a different category or column. We're not showing any meaning or pattern, we're showing a meaningless pattern. Color is a great way of showing something with your data, such as highlighting a particularly successful product line, or grouping together like things. If it's just used for random decoration, or worse, because you haven't figured out how to change a default setting in Excel before you import to PowerPoint, it's just an eyesore.
The Lazy Susan Chart.
The Lazy Susan, AKA the POT, AKA the plain old table, AKA I have a lot of data here and I didn't know what to do with it, is perhaps the entry-level offender of our line-up of chart criminals. It's very easy to do when under a time crunch, when you want a little cya in your briefing or you simply want to show how much work you've put in to collecting your data. The trouble is that although you may have a lot of data, you didn't do anything with it. You may want to cya, but it's just as likely a number you dumped on your slide and didn't really want to talk about in your ops review is the one that comes up. Tables won't show patterns, and hide mistakes. They should be used solely for reference and back up, and sparingly in presentations. If you have more than 2-3 rows or columns, rethink how you want to present that data. Don't be a lazy Susan.*
Have you made these mistakes?
You may have made some of these mistakes. Congratulations young Padawan, recognizing your errors is the first step to improvement. There are some great experts out there that can help. If you want to improve how you handle data, polish your plotting or brush up your bar charts, I recommend you start here.

Shock wave therapy for lameness
From outside the body (extracorporeal), the machine generates high-intensity shock or pressure waves, which pulse to a specific site within the injured tissue. Though its actual mode of action is still in dispute, it stimulates and accelerates the healing process, essentially combining an immediate analgesic effect with a reduction in inflammation, neovascularization in soft tissue and osteogenesis in bone. According to Dr. Scott McClure, DVM, Iowa State University, a leading researcher in the field, it can be used to treat various conditions, such as suspensory ligament desmitis, navicular disease, saucer fractures, bucked shins, bowed tendon, sesamoid fractures, stress fractures and vertebral spinal pain (kissing spine lesions).
The technique Though some of its initial use came with the need for general anesthesia, the most common units today are portable and able for use with a standing horse in the barn or at the racetrack.
Electrical energy is used to initiate the pressure wave. The energy settings and the number of pulses are important. Too low energy or too few pulses might not create the desired therapeutic effect. Excessive energy or pulses may result in tendon damage. The pressure waves penetrate fluid and soft tissue, and their effects occur at sites at the bone/soft tissue interface.
The mechanism by which shock waves stimulate healing is unknown. Theoretically, shock waves can increase cellular membrane permeability, cellular division, and stimulate cytokine production by bone marrow, neovascularization of soft tissue and osteogenesis in bone. Pressure waves might help physically break down or move a hematoma or fluid from the lesion to allow the fibroblasts to more rapidly fill the defect. At this time, the effect of ESWT on disease recurrence and future ligament strength has not been evaluated.
Though the horse is sedated, it can tolerate the pain, similar to hitting the funny bone, and there is some numbing effect as the shock waves are applied. Depending on the site and injury depth, the usage is usually 1,500 to 2,500 impulses. A small, defined area requires fewer impulses than a larger surface area. The more shallow and softer the tissue, fewer and milder impulses are required; the deeper and harder the tissue, the greater the number of impulses and energy required. Though shock wave therapy works with good results, there is need to define the procedural protocols, including how to treat, at what intensity, at what energy level and the proper number of impulses.
"During the procedure, we do sedate the horses and either use a twitch or sometimes use local anesthetic at the site," says David McCarroll, DVM with Interstate Equine Hospital in Goldsby, Okla.

2012 Graduates Reminded of Importance of Giving Back
As she addressed the 2012 graduates of the Carlson School at their Monday, May 14, commencement exercises in Mariucci Arena, Estée Lauder's Thia Breen stressed five themes that have brought her success in her career. Breen, a University alum and president of North America for Estée Lauder, emphasized the importance of working hard at your career, establishing integrity, developing top talent and thinking globally and acting locally while still taking the time to give back to yourself and others.
"At Carlson, you know all about working hard. What you might not know is that being successful means establishing boundaries," she said. "Giving yourself permission for time off is the right thing to do personally and professionally. It's really important to have things to look forward to that aren't work. This opens an opportunity for you to give back to society."
More than 530 undergraduates and 790 graduate students earned their degrees from the Carlson School this spring. Undergraduates received Bachelor of Science in Business degrees. Graduate students earned several types of degrees: Master of Business Administration, Master of Arts in Human Resources and Industrial Relations, Master of Business Taxation, and Master of Accountancy. Graduates participated in diverse programs including Full-Time, Part-Time, and Executive MBA; Global Executive MBA (China, Vienna, Warsaw), Master of Arts in Human Resources and Industrial Relations, Master of Business Taxation, and Master of Accountancy. PhD degrees were award in Business Administration and Human Resources and Industrial Relations.
Achievement Awards
The Academic Excellence Award, given to the highest academically ranked undergraduate senior, was awarded to Elizabeth Roemmich. The Tomato Can Loving Cup Award, the school's highest honor to an undergraduate student, was presented to Daniel Spors.
Those named as community engagement scholars were Allyson Lister and Racquel Smrz. Recognition as a community engagement scholar is earned by students who complete nine credits of service-learning course work, at least 400 hours of community service, a series of reflective pieces, and an integrative community project that results in the creation of a sustainable project for a community organization.
The Dean's award for best undergraduate honors theses went to Courtney Carufel for "I Feel Just As Fake As My Bracelet: Counterfeit Products and Threats to Our Sense of Self" and Adam Lueck for "Show Me the Money: An Analysis of the Efficiency on Kiva.org's On-line Microfinance Interface."

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are making it work.
Eight months after the famous couple separated to "evaluate and work on their marriage," the A-list actors reunited on the red carpet Tuesday night. Zeta-Jones--who also debuted new blunt bangs--joined her husband of 13 years for "The Library's" opening night at The Public Theater in New York City.
The actress, 44, and the actor, 69, have been spotted together often in recent months, but this marked the first time they attended an official event since separating. They were supporting director Steven Soderbergh, who created the play. Zeta-Jones worked with the filmmaker on "Traffic," "Ocean's Twelve" and "Side Effects," while Douglas worked with him on "Traffic," "Haywire" and "Behind the Candelabra."
The couple most recently stepped out Apr. 5 when they were honored at the Windward School in L.A.
PHOTOS: Surprising celebrity breakups
The actors--parents to son Dylan, 13, and daughter Carys, 10--have always remained hopeful that they would be able to reconcile their differences. "Sometimes people take a little bit of a break, but it doesn't necessarily mean that's the end," Douglas once said on "The Tonight Show." "I'm very hopeful."

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Over the past year or so I have written at length about the SSIS Catalog that will be provided in the upcoming version of SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS 2012) and the capabilities that it will bring; one of the biggest benefits (in my opinion) is that logging is now something that is taken care of on your behalf.
Many SSIS developers have built their own logging solutions (often referred to as "frameworks") over the past few years and it occurred to me that many of those developers may have a need to carry on running their own logging solutions alongside that which the SSIS Catalog provides. To that end I have raised two Connect submissions requesting enhancements to SSIS that will make it easier for developers to do just that:
One of those (the one about the ExecutionID variable) has already been implemented and will be available in the final release of SQL Server 2012 however this blog post isn't about drumming up support for Connect submissions. I am more interested in knowing whether you think you will need to log information over and above what the SSIS Catalog provides and if so, what exactly? I can envisage a number of scenarios in which additional logging may be necessary:
Do you plan to use your own logging solutions alongside the SSIS Catalog? If so, why? Let me know in the comments, I'm really interested to discover how folks plan to use this.

At first sight, the built-in reports deliverd within SSMS already give quite some information. I guess I have to dive real deep in an SSIS 2012 project at a client to find out what's missing.
The first thing that pops to mind is rowcounts affected by Execute SQL Tasks.
The problem with the new built in logging is the fact that it is not centralized. If you have 10 servers, you will have to visit each server to look at your ssis logs. So custom built logging or tools like BIxPress will continue to be needed.
Hi Mike,
Interesting point. Why would you have 10 SSIS servers?
Good point - totally depends on the tasks, but I know that our current implementation captures row counts from stored proc calls or ad-hoc SQL calls where appropriate. We've been keeping things somewhat simple for the time being, so we wouldn't have an immediate need to extend other logging functionality. I can definitely see it for larger and more complex packages, though.
We've mostly switched to BIxPress for our auditing and generally find that pretty useful. That may or may not change when we start using 2012. Our main reasons for using the software were for the real time monitoring and much easier reporting than our current custom logging. If SSIS duplicates all/most of that in 2012, we'd need to see some significant benefits to keep using that tool.
I was thnking the same thing, what if I need to log a variable value OnPostExecute and report that value with the duration and result of a task? We use custom logging based on your popular event handler example which logs Insert, Update, Delete counts OnPostExecute using variables. As you mention it would be nice to be able to capture row counts from SQL tasks.
Is it possible to log the read\write variables of a task in the [catalog].[event_message_context] table? That may do the trick. Like if I set @[user::UpdateCount] using sproc output parameter in a SQL task, will it log that value in [catalog].[event_message_context]? It would not be ideal to query those values from a related table compared to having columns in [catalog].[executable_statistics]. For that reason it may be best to add our own tables.
It would be cool if there were a way to extend the new logging by adding custom stored procs that can fire before & after the built-in ones to populate custom tables without the need to add custom event handlers to packages. I suppose this would be easy enough by simply adding a SQL task to the event which could select from catalog to get duration, but that brings another question...What about the order of events? Can we be sure the [catalog].[executable_statistics] is written before the OnPostExecute Event Handler is fired for the same task?
I agree it would be nice to specify the server and db name of SSISDB so two servers could share one catalog.
Hi Josh,
"if I set @[user::UpdateCount] using sproc output parameter in a SQL task, will it log that value in [catalog].[event_message_context]?"
Good question but no, I'm pretty sure it doesn't do that. I stand to be corrected however - I haven't done too much investigation into that view.
"It would be cool if there were a way to extend the new logging by adding custom stored procs that can fire before & after the built-in ones to populate custom tables without the need to add custom event handlers to packages."
Yeah I like that idea a lot. In other words, it would be nice if there were some hooks that we just plug our own sprocs into so that they get executed when a particular event occurs, right?
I can't see that ever happening mind you, for starters SQL Server doesn't have a good plug-in model like (say) .Net does with MEF (http://mef.codeplex.com/).
"I agree it would be nice to specify the server and db name of SSISDB so two servers could share one catalog."
Yeah, I've been thinking about this idea a lot myself. I'm envisaging the concept os a SSIS Catalog "agent" running on a remote server. The agent can execute packages just like the proper SSIS Catalog can but the agent would log back to the SSIS Catalog that it was attached to. Very interesting idea that.
In fact, I like the idea of a SSIS Catalog Agent so much that I have suggested it: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/726102/ssis-catalog-agent
I'm fairly certain I'll keep my framework around, although I will have to play with the new features more before deciding they don't provide everything I need. Currently, we log the package start / end times, what versions they are, the descriptions associated, what tables are affected by the package and how many records were extracted / inserted / updated / deleted. Whether the package was successful, if it was restarted, what the parent process was that called it, which "processing group" the package belongs to, etc. I also do not like that you can no longer control exactly what events are being logged. You only have the four or five presets. So, if you want to find the PipelineComponentTime or PipelineExecutionTrees you get every other event under the sun (verbose)??? gah. Oh well, I guess for the majority of people this will be a good thing.
Yeah, not being able to configure the 4 presets (well, 3 really cos the 4th is "None") is a problem. Some people will want to configure, some won't care. One of those "you can't please all the people all the time" situations.
Of the things you listed *I think* all of the following can be captured in the SSIS Catalog:
-Package start/end times
-Versions (i.e. Major/Minor/Version)
-How many records extracted/updated/deleted in a dataflow (although perhaps not recorded in the manner that you would like)
-Whether the package was successful
-Parent process that called the package
RE:"Yeah I like that idea a lot. In other words, it would be nice if there were some hooks that we just plug our own sprocs into so that they get executed when a particular event occurs, right?
I can't see that ever happening mind you, for starters SQL Server doesn't have a good plug-in model"
I'm thinking simple hook like this at the end of the built-in sp which logs to executable_statistics. We create a sproc called 'sp_after_log_executable_statistics'and if it exists it's fired. Of course how does it get paramenters from SSIS variables is beyond me.
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[catalog].[sp_after_log_executable_statistics]') AND type in (N'P', N'PC'))
EXEC [catalog].[sp_after_log_executable_statistics]]
RE:"I also do not like that you can no longer control exactly what events are being logged."
You mean you can't disable event handling on certain containers and tasks and you cant specify not to log OnInformation events for Basic level, for example? That is a bummer.
The Catalog.packages view shows the major & minor version of a package. The catalog.executions view shows the package start & end times, and the package status (created, running, canceled, failed, pending, successful etc.).
The catalog.execution_data_satistics view shows the number of rows sent from the source component. You can use the catalog_add_data_tap & catalog.add_data_tap_by_guid stored procedures to capture a copy of the data for a specific data flow path.
Hi Carla,
Thanks for contributing here - good to see someone from the product team adding their two-penneth worth.
Regarding your comment "The Catalog.packages view shows the major & minor version of a package", I think I am right in saying that Catalog.packages is a list of all the packages currently stored in the catalog. That is useful but it doesn't provide what I think Eric wanted which is the major/minor/version of a package that gets executed.
We presently log the product version. This helps to identify issues that can arise when machines are running different versions of SSIS.
Hey Jamie,
Looks like the release documentation for view [catalog].[event_message_context] shows a context_type field having possible value:
70 | Variable | Indicates that the value of a variable is captured.
Hopefully this means variable values can be captured in the catalog. Is it true that this is only captured for OnError events?
If so, it's another example of beng shame that we can't control when events are logged. We should be able to capture context OnPostExec for selected tasks. Bottom line, built-in logging should obey the logging properties set on each container\task if desired.
Definitely would love this:
>> Row counts captured using the Execute SQL Task.
Otherwise I'll have to develop my own framework. Yuck.
When we deploy the reports on the SQL Server (SSIS Catalog) and ran it, some reports are created automatically. I need row counts (Extracted, Inserted and updated) in those reports. Is there any property, so that i can see the row counts on the reports itself?
I don't want to go for the Custom Logging, rather than I want to go with those reports. But, for logging, i need row count should be shown for each package.
Please reply.
Hello Onkar,
I'm a little confused about what you mean when you say:
"When we deploy the reports on the SQL Server (SSIS Catalog)"
What reports are you deploying?
Rowcounts are logged in [catalog].[execution_data_statistics] although only when LOGGING_LEVEL=Verbose*. Read more at:
SSIS Logging in Denali (http://sqlblog.com/blogs/jamie_thomson/archive/2011/07/16/ssis-logging-in-denali.aspx)
Unfortunately I don't know of any built-in reports that surface this information. I provide a suite of reports that DO surface this information - take a look at http://sqlblog.com/blogs/jamie_thomson/archive/tags/SSIS+Reporting+Pack/default.aspx for more info.
hope that helps
*This information is correct as at 08/08/2012. It may not be correct in the future.
Sorry, its my mistake. I mean to say Packages, not reports. :) And thanks for quick Reply.
I have read the Carla's post above, where she mention the use of the [catalog].[execution_data_statistics] table. I looked into it, but it just gave us the Sent_Row_Count.
But, for the other counts, such as Insert and Update Count, do we need to go just for the Custom Logging? I'm also looking at the Custom Reports, if it helps me.
Onkar Belgamwar
Hi Onkar,
"But, for the other counts, such as Insert and Update Count, do we need to go just for the Custom Logging?"
Let me clarify one thing, how are you doing these insertions/updates? Using the Dataflow or an Execute SQL Task?
You are correct that [catalog].[execution_data_statistics] gives you rows sent however the number of "inserted rows" (e.g. rows inserted by an OLE DB Destination) then you simply have to count the number of rows that get sent to that component. All that information is within [catalog].[execution_data_statistics].
Thanks Jamie,
Actually, i have some packages which just extract the Source data and load the Staging tables, in such cases i'm using the DFT. But, when i load the dimensions, i'm either using the SCD in DFT OR Merge Statement in the Execute SQL Task (In this case, i replace DFT with Merge Statement) for incremental load. So i need to capture those counts in both the cases.
I have used the Row Count Transformation to capture the Rows and store it in the variable, and in case of Merge, i have used the @Action of Merge Statement.
But, when i want to go for SSIS Catalog Dashboards, i don't get such counts. So i'm looking for any work around to get those counts.
OK, I understand now.
Rowcounts for Execute SQL Tasks do not get captured (which makes sense - how would SSIS know what the affected rowcount is by the SQL statement in an Execute SQL Task given that you can put whatever you want in there?).
If you are using the SCD Ccomponent within a dataflow however there should be no problems capturing rowcounts there. Its not the SCD component that does the insertion/update remember, its the OLE DB Destination or OLE DB Command that are downstream of that component. hence, simply look in [catalog].[execution_data_statistics] to discover how many rows rows were sent to those components - and there are your rowcounts.
Hi Jamie,
Thanks, Now I got the point and understood the whole functionality of the [catalog].[execution_data_statistics] table.
So, for the Execute SQL, I need to write code in the SQL itself.
First of all, thanks for a great blog!
I' m currently trying to decide if I should stop using my old SSIS framework and rely entirely in the 2012 built in logging but I have one major issue. Hopefully it is there and I just don't see it. Here it goes:
Today I'm using the PackageExecutionGUID to store information in all my tables about which package execution that inserted or modified the record. I can't seem to find this in the new SSIS catalog. Using the ExecutionId is not really enough for me as I want to be able to distinguish between two executions of the same package within the same batch (ExecutionId).
Any ideas? Is there a way to map the PackageExecutionGUID (or maybe another variable available in SSIS) to a record in the [internal].[executable_statistics] table
Hi Johan,
Check out fields:
[execution_path] is a good one because it uniquely identifies which executable is raising the event. It even distinguishes different executions of the same executable within a loop.
Do they provide what you need?
Sorry, I meant the System::ExecutionInstanceGUID variable in the post above.
And I guess I would need this to be able to create my own logging of affected records by T-SQL statements as well. How do I connect my custom logging to the [internal].[executable_statistics] table?
"Sorry, I meant the System::ExecutionInstanceGUID variable in the post above."
So you want a unique identifier for each instance of a package executing, correct? Yeah, the only place where that is identified is [internal].[executable_statistics].[statistics_id] and that value is not accessible by the package.
I wish there were a way that we could refer to the information therein. I thought I had requested this on Connect before but I just had a search and evidently I have not - hence I have raised this:
[SSIS] Enable 3rd party logging mechanisms to refer to ssisdb.internal.executable_statistics
I would appreciate you voting and leaving a comment
Is that the sort of thing that you were after?
Thanks a lot for you quick answer. You are correct, that is exactly what I want. I will vote.
I wrote a new post before I saw your answer:
The information in the internal.event_messages table is great but my problem is really that I don't seem to have enough information available in the package system variables in order to connect any custom logging to the catalog logging.
Let's say for example that I would like to create my own logging of affected records by T-sql statements. I have a package that makes an insert and an update. The insert uses a regular OLEDB connection and the row count is nicely logged in the [internal].[execution_data_statistics] table. The update is performed using an Execute sql task.
The package is executed twice within a batch (ExecutionId). The first run it inserts 10 records and updates 5. The second time it inserts 20 records and updates 7.
What do I store in my custom logging table in order to follow this information? If I only use the package name and the Execution Id I would only know that 12 records were updated by the package in during the batch, not by which execution (row in [internal].[execution_data_statistics])

Elsewhere in Italy, Torino came out on top in a five-goal thriller against basement boys Siena, while fellow strugglers Bologna thrashed Chievo to end their recent run of defeats
Bologna ended a run of two straight defeats in style after they sailed to a 4-0 success against an in-form Chievo on Saturday.
Inside just 13 minutes, Panagiotis Kone evaded his marker to open the scoring with a header from a corner.
They doubled their lead on the cusp of half-time when Diego Perez dispossessed Cyril Thereau in midfield to launch a counterattack for Alberto Gilardino to finish off with a lob over the goalkeeper.
On the hour mark, Gilardino bagged his second goal of the match via another Alessandro Diamanti corner, and if it was not already apparent, the Flying Donkeys saw Alberto Paloschi's strike chalked off due to handball.
The rout was completed late on as Manolo Gabbiadini stole the show with a fine solo effort to lift the Rossoblu to 14th in the table. Chievo, meanwhile, stay in 11th place.TORINO 3-2 SIENA
In Sunday's early kick-off, Torino and Siena fought a five-goal thriller but it was the hosts who eventually prevailed, beating the Tuscans 3-2.
Alessio Cerci's fifth-minute cross was met by Matteo Brighi, who arrived late in the box to smash open the deadlock.
But soon after, the Granata's failure to avert danger in their own half was paid for when Reginaldo made it two goals in as many matches, scrappily equalising from close range.
On 38 minutes, Torino went back ahead through Rolando Bianchi. The former Manchester City striker netted a free header from Valter Birsa's cross.The points were sealed in first-half injury time when Cerci capped off an impressive display, hitting Siena on the break before guiding the ball around Gianluca Pegolo and into an empty net.
And even if the visitors did pull one back with 15 minutes to go thanks to journeyman striker Michele Paolucci meeting Reginaldo's flick-on at the far post, Torino move to 12th. Siena, however, remain rooted to the bottom, eight points adrift.
The visitors did get one back with 15 minutes to go after Cerci sluggishly gave the ball away in the final third, allowing a Cristiano Del Grosso cross that Reginaldo knocked down for Paolucci's finish at the back post.
Lazio closed the gap at the Serie A summit to just three points after they eased to a comfortable 2-0 victory over Atalanta on Sunday.
Sergio Floccari opened the floodlights midway through the second half against his former club, albeit with a hint of luck as he appeared to have used his hand in the build-up to the strike.
Ten minutes later, Stefano Mauri's cross was turned in by Orobici defender Davide Brivio to hand the Romans a fifth straight win and consolidate their grip on second place.
For Atalanta, who also had to contend with Carlos Carmona's red card, they have now gone five matches without a win, including four defeats in that spell, and fall to 13th.
Fiorentina risk falling into a mid-season slump after their 3-1 defeat to Udinese was their second in as many matches.
The Viola did take the lead, however, when Gonzalo Rodriguez's header deflected goalbound via the shoulder of Serbian goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic.
But right on the edge of half-time, Giulio Migliaccio's foul on Maurizio Domizzi in the box allowed Antonio Di Natale to hammer home the equaliser from the penalty spot.
Twenty minutes after the restart, the Zebrette grabbed a double-goal salvo when firstly, Andrea Lazzari - against his old team - crossed into the area for Di Natale to put his side in the driving seat.
There were suspicions that the veteran striker was offside, but there was no doubt about Luis Muriel's angled drive a minute later.
Udinese are now unbeaten in their last five Serie A matches, winning three of them, and move up to eighth in the table. Fiorentina, however, drop to fifth following Inter's victory over Pescara.
Genoa's mini-revival came to a sour end on Sunday, as Cagliari - in a rut of their own - came back from behind to record a 2-1 win in Sardinia and end a pattern of five straight losses.
New signing Eros Pisano scored from a corner to hand the Ligurians the lead early in the second half, but on 55 minutes, Marco Sau made it three goals in his last four games, beating Sebastian Frey from a counterattack.
And with just eight minutes remaining, Daniele Conti's header turned the game on its head as Cagliari climb out of the bottom three at the expense of Genoa - who also had Felipe Seymour sent off.
Napoli are determined not to look back this season, and their 3-0 success over Palermo made it three wins on the bounce for the Partenopei.
On the half-hour mark, Marek Hamsik's corner diverted onto the head of Christian Maggio, and the right-sider grabbed a vital goal in his quest to keep his place in the side following Pablo Armero's recent arrival from Udinese.
Just four minutes later, Gokhan Inler played a neat one-two with the Slovak before rifling home a pile-driver from distance to make it 2-0 to Napoli.
And in the latter stages of the second half, the Switzerland midfielder drilled the ball into the middle of the box for Lorenzo Insigne to drive into the corner of the net.
Napoli stay two points behind Lazio but remain in third. Penultimately-placed Palermo, however, had no reply for the southern Italians and have now lost six of their last matches.
Catania put a stop to their sequence of three games without victory by condemning Roma to a 1-0 defeat at the Angelo Massimino.
Giallorossi boss Zdenek Zeman sprung a surprise with his team selection, as midfielder Marquinho was drafted in from the periphery to start in attack alongside Mattia Destro and Erik Lamela, while Leandro Castan was given the nod ahead of Marquinhos at the back.
With neither Francesco Totti nor Pablo Osvaldo starting, Roma naturally had much of the ball in the midfield areas but their lack of penetration soon became evident, as they could not break down the Sicilian resistance.
It gave Catania the perfect opportunity to bolster their reputation as a bogey team of the visitors, and they did not look back when Gonzalo Bergessio's lay-off was tucked home by Alejandro Gomez, who scored yet again at the capital side's expense.
The Elefanti stay in 10th place, but Roma, in sixth, fall eight points behind third-positioned Napoli.

Military couple Ashley and Heather: How DOMA disrespects our family
January 14, 2013
Ashley Broadway was panicked.
After 36 hours of labor, her partner of 13 years, Army Lt. Col. Heather Mack, had finally delivered their child in a military hospital in Texas. Doctors ordered an emergency C-section, and the delivery left Heather in the Intensive Care Unit. The child, Carson was also left in serious condition, and as doctors rushed him to a nearby hospital with a neonatal intensive care unit, Ashley needed to make a decision: Should she stay with her ailing partner, or leave with her son?
As her mind reeled, Ashley tried to maintain her composure. She knew that she needed to keep her emotions in check, watch her body language, be careful about what she said, and follow the meticulous rules that she had set for herself for the past 13 years. It was 2010, and "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the federal policy that prohibited gay and lesbian people from serving openly in the U.S. military, was still the law of the land. She needed to stay faithful to her role as Heather's "sister," Carson's "aunt."
In the months leading up to the delivery, Ashley and Heather had prepared themselves as best as they could. They hired an expensive private lawyer to arrange Heather's medical directives and ensure that Ashley would be authorized to make decisions for Heather and for Carson. They ensured that Ashley would be listed as a legal guardian for Carson, even though she could not appear on the birth certificate. They made sure to carry this paperwork with them everywhere as Heather's due date approached. And they decided that no matter what were to happen with Heather, Ashley should stay by Carson's side.
Ashley left Heather's hospital room to be with Carson in the neonatal intensive care unit, where she was met with a roadblock.
"I'm family," Ashley explained to the nurses. "I'm Carson's aunt."
"We need proper documentation, ma'am," a nurse told her. "We can't let anyone in the room except for documented family. The mother or the father."
Ashley paused and took a breath, reaching into her bag for her paperwork. "I shouldn't have to do this," she said. "But here it is - here's my lawyer's card. Here's the proper documentation. I need to get in there."
The nurse, confused by the unfamiliar paperwork and situation, called in a doctor, who brought Ashley into a private room and closed the door. Ashley was exhausted - she had hardly slept or eaten since bringing Heather to the hospital for the delivery, and she couldn't believe that she was being blocked from seeing her son."
"You're not his aunt, are you?" the doctor asked quietly.
Ashley put her head down and started crying. "No," she admitted. "I'm not."
The doctor understood. "This is your partner's biological child, isn't he?" he said, and Ashley nodded.
"Then you are his mother, and you will be in this hospital," he said. "You will be able to go back there and see him."
Ashley breathed a sigh of relief and went to keep watch over her son.
The birth of her child, after years of struggling with fertility specialists and trying to extend her family, was supposed to be one of the most joyful days of her life. Instead, it was a day full of fear - fear for the woman she loved, fear for her son, and fear that she would not be respected as a committed partner and as a mother.
* * *
Heather and Carson have largely recovered from the delivery that night. But the experience prompted Ashley to make a vow to herself that she would work to chip away at this fear and fight against discriminatory laws and policies in the U.S. government and military. She didn't want anyone to have those feelings of insecurity and uncertainty ever again.
She found an avenue to work toward change through the American Military Partner Association, which formed as a support structure for the partners and spouses of gay and lesbian service members in the U.S. military.
After "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was repealed in September 2011, many people wrongly assumed that gay and lesbian service members and their families would no longer face discrimination by the federal government. But families like Ashley, Heather, and Carson continue to be treated unequally. Through AMPA, Heather and Ashley are able to help other military families get educated and informed about what rights they do and do not have.
Because of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, the federal government and U.S military are prohibited from respecting legal marriages between same-sex couples. Although Ashley and Heather legally married in Washington, D.C. in November 2012, the federal government does not respect the marriage, which deprives Ashley, Heather, and thousands of same-sex military couples of over 1,100 protections and responsibilities that different-sex couples receive. These include shared health insurance and medical coverage, military identification cards, support from morale and welfare programs, and surviving spouse benefits.
Ashley's documentation remains a constant concern for the couple. The military still does not recognize her as Heather's wife or Carson's mother. Rather, Ashley must abide by the rules of the military's Family Care Plan, which names Ashley as Carson's "caregiver."
"It's basically a glorified name for a nanny," Ashley explained. "I have access to base and the grocery store and some amenities, but my documentation is basically for Carson. I can do things with him or for him, but I can't, for example, go to the gym or take classes. Things I do on base have to be strictly for him. I'm not recognized by the military as his mother."
"When I take him to doctor's appointments, I still have to bring in all of these legal documents saying I'm not his mother but that I have the right to make medical decisions for him," Ashley continued. "Every time, it's like a slap in the face."
* * *
Ashley and Heather face an additional layer of disrespect because they live in North Carolina, where a constitutional amendment prohibits the freedom to marry for same-sex couples and outlaws any alternative mechanisms of family status, including civil union and domestic partnership.
"We used to be able to get car insurance together under a company, and to protect gay and lesbian service members, they would say the service member had a 'cohabitant,'" Ashley explained as one example. "The company didn't refer to the partner as a spouse or anything like that. So for over ten years, I had wonderful insurance under Heather's plan. But when we moved to North Carolina, we had to drop our insurance, because the state doesn't recognize any same-sex couple and doesn't recognize cohabitation."
Some of the couple's discomfort in their home stems from cultural influences and a lack of community acceptance. For example, when the family moved to North Carolina last year, Ashley struggled to find a preschool that would accept Carson.
"Seven of the ten schools I approached basically told me that we weren't welcome because Carson has two moms," Ashley said. "They would say, 'Oh, we would love to have your son, but you may want to keep your family makeup to yourselves, because it may offend some of our other families.'"
This winter, Ashley made headlines when she applied for membership to the Association of Bragg Officers' Spouses and was rejected because she does not have a military ID card, a military benefit she does not receive because of DOMA. Read more about the developing story HERE.
* * *
Ashley and Heather are a normal, loving couple who have stayed together for over 15 years, since November of 1997 when they began dating in Columbus, GA.
They've been fully invested in each other's lives, certain that they will be together forever, since 2001, when Heather was scheduled to be transferred to a different duty location, far away from their home in Georgia, and Ashley decided to move with her.
"I was so in love with her, and she was my best friend, and I knew that there was no way I could be separated from her," Ashley said. "That's when our journey really started."
They've moved around seven times, and in 15 years, they've lived in Georgia, Virginia, Kansas, Texas, North Carolina, and even South Korea.
They are expecting a baby girl any day now.
They've even seen the beginnings of the future for same-sex military spouses - in May, Ashley was the first same-sex partner of military personnel invited to the First Lady's annual Mother's Day Tea at the White House.
Throughout all of their trials - as a same-sex military couple living under DADT, as a same-sex couple in the South, and as a same-sex couple standing up against DOMA - they have continually found strength in each other - and in other couples like them who they have connected with through the American Military Partner Association.
* * *
When Ashley thinks back to the day that Carson was born two years ago, she still gets emotional and remembers how terrifying it was to feel insecure and unsupported, with no federal protections to back her up.
Today, she and her family feel similar insecurity because of the Defense of Marriage Act. Until that law is repealed - until married same-sex couples can be treated the same as married different-sex couples - she and her family will continue to face anxiety, insecurity, and disrespect.
Learn more about the so-called Defense of Marriage Act HERE, check out the American Military Partner Association, for which Ashley serves as Director of Family Affairs, HERE, and take a look at Freedom to Marry's joint public education campaign with OutServe-SLDN, Freedom to Serve, Freedom to Marry, HERE.
UPDATE: On February 11, 2013, the Pentagon announced revisions to some Department of Defense policies that create unfair hardships for same-sex couples and their families, including the issuance of military ID cards. Freedom to Marry continues to work to overturn DOMA, which requires the continuation of other rules that impose additional hardships on military families, including access to shared health coverage and survivor benefits.

What is up hippies? Anyways, does pronation control matter at all in trail shoes? I have seen different things online and I was wondering what the opinions were here.
I don't understand the question. Could you rephrase it?
Go as long as you can, and then take another step.
Sorry, fixed. Meth makes me a little dyslexic.
Demon of Bad Decisions
I want to do it because I want to do it. -Amelia Earhart
Meth makes me a little dyslexic.
I haven't read anything on this topic, so you probably know more than I do. It may depend on how bad your pronation problem is and what your comfort level is like for trying to go without. I think people have to see what works for them.
My right foot pronates badly and I have worn orthotics and motion control road running shoes (Brooks Addiction) for over 12 years with complete success. Upon taking up trail running last spring and looking at buying trail shoes, I decided it would be wisest for me to wear a motion control trail shoe and I got the North Face Double Track. I love the shoes, have run about 200 miles in them, and have not had any problems to do with my right foot falling in.
Have you read that there is something different about running trails that eliminates the need for motion control shoes in someone who needs them on the road? I have to say I probably wouldn't make any changes personally because of it, but I'd be interested to hear what the discussion is.
MTA: So I just looked up the Sportiva shoe you mentioned, WG, and it doesn't say anything about stability or motion control in the description...??
I am not talking about Motion Control shoes per se (I actual run in medium stability shoes Saucany Guide, Brooks Ravenna, etc) I am just asking about the benefit of stability features on trails. What I have read is that is doesn't matter because your foot falls are so irregular, but I was curious what people's experiences have been.
MTA: So I just looked up the Sportiva shoe you mentioned, WG, and it doesn't say anything about stability or motion control in the description...??
Le professeur de trail
Salomon Crossmax comes in a stability version. I run in Asics 2100 series and Brooks Ravenna and went with the Salomon Crossmax stability. Works well for me.
I think if it's what you need, stick with it. It would matter once on flat trails or less rocky stuff. If the trail was pure jagged rock stuff then there's probably not a whole of fast running anyways.
My favorite day of the week is RUNday
Refurbished Hip
Who let you out, Velcro?
I agree with what has been said already. I wear heavy motion control shoes on the road, but have worn totally neutral (La Sportiva Wildcats) shoes up to 50K. For longer than a 50K, I like having more stability and will wear my Montrail Mountain Masochists. (Jason also wore those shoes for his 100, I believe. They're very popular.)
Huh, I have a blog?
I'm sure on uber-rocky east coast trails this may be true, but how many of your runs are through rock gardens? Fireroads and smooth(-ish) single track will still cause you to roll your foot in. I wear the Guides as my day-to-day shoe and I find that there is benefits to more stable trail shoes.
Building on Wrigley's words, not responding to dispute...
I wear stability shoes on roads... Adrenaline and Ravenna mostly.
I run in Cascadias (chunky, but no stability whatzit), Grit (just weirdass shoes), and Cabrakan (chunky, with stability stuff). You really want to match surface with shoes. Anyway, I generally prefer my Cabrakans to the Cascadias. I can run technical 50k-50m w/ fair amounts of gain in either, but my achilles and feet-in-general hurt more after runs in my Cascadias. A bit. But I notice the difference more on the more gentle trails. The closer it gets to "road", the more I prefer my stability shoes. And frankly, sometimes I just wear my road shoes. Depending on where you are, trail shoes may not be necessary anyway.
Who let you out, Velcro?
Apparently this new forum does not monitor where we go. Go figure.
Thanks for the feedback all. Simply matching shoes to actual terrain makes a lot of sense. Of course this means owning a lot more shoes --- my wife is not going to be happy about having to get a second job.
Or you could just wear your road shoes on everything, which will likely be fine except in some bad ass rocky stuff or when it is super duper slick.
But I definitely recommend the 'shoe collector' approach.

What I have read is that is doesn't matter because your foot falls are so irregular, but I was curious what people's experiences have been.
I wear mild stability Guide and Ravenna on the road, and find that some medial posting (aka "stability") in trail shoes works best for me. For rocky/technical or longer trail runs, my go-to shoe is the Montrail Mountain Masochist. For shorter runs that still have some technical bits, I wear Montrail Bajada. For non-technical short runs (like on Chicago's ever popular bridle "trails"), I just wear my road shoes.

We sat down with model Molly Sims before she gave birth to her baby boy, at the tenth anniversary event of Liz Lange Maternity for Target! The new mom shared her thoughts on staying fashionable while being pregnant.
How has your personal style changed since becoming pregnant? It got a little stretchier. I'm into the whole bohemian thing—which stretches! You don't really think your style will change, but you've got to incorporate that bump the best you can. No one wants to be at 40 weeks and looking bad, so you try your best.
Have you started shopping for your baby's wardrobe? Yes, I've started. It's so fun! Everything looks so cute. A really good friend of mine got this little bib for the baby that says, "lunch is on me." It is the cutest thing.
Do you have a go-to look or piece now that you're expecting? I think it is my long black skirt with stretch—it's something that I have lived in! And I will say, in the last couple of weeks, flats have become my new best friend. You just can't do heels when pregnant! You are forcibly rocking forward.
What is the best thing about being pregnant? You definitely could pick anything, but I would say that I just love feeling him. I do, I love it. I've waited a very long time. I would have totally done it on my own, but I am so happy to find the person who loves me and is just as excited to meet the baby as I am.
What is one thing you cannot wait to wiggle back into after you give birth? Skinny Jeans! With no stretch!
Did you play dress-up as a child? Yes, and I loved it. It is fun looking back at your baby pictures.
What do you think when you hear the word "mom?" My mom is my best friend, so I hope I can be one of his best friends. But my mom was my mother before she was my best friend—that came later. A lot of times I think parents try to be the best friend and then they try to be the mom. My mom always set boundaries and really made me respect her. That is something I really want to do with my children. I want them to respect me and love me, but at the same time to listen to me—and then I'll be their friend.

Lake Data Goes Live
ST. MARYS — State officials Monday afternoon released details of yet another partnership aimed at helping in the battle to heal Grand Lake St. Marys.
Ohio EPA Director Scott Nally introduced a venture with Yellow Springs Incorporated that would provide real time data for Grand Lake St. Marys. The data will be available online at LiveLakeData.com.
"YSI joined the partnership," Nally said during a press conference. "We have five monitors — four that the state is renting and one that YSI has donated to the project. It's a great partnership."
The monitoring stations, located in the four corners of the lake, will supply data every 15 minutes to the website. Anyone interested in seeing the data can do so by visiting the site and clicking on the green dots imposed on a map of the lake.
"YSI works with lakes all over the world," YSI Executive Vice President Gayle Rominger said. "We are doing a lot of work in China and other developing areas. When we realized how bad the situation was here last summer, we said, 'boy, we need to get more involved this is right in our back yard.'"
In March, officials with the Ohio EPA met with YSI personnel to develop a plan to monitor the lake's conditions. The data generated from the monitoring stations will help provide a foundation to help develop tools to battle toxic algae.
"The data is proving to be very valuable so that the optimization of the treatment can have the most impact," Rominger said. "And having the public have access to the data so they can see what's going on in the lake themselves."
The system will collect data ranging from oxygen levels, pH, temperatures, conductivity and turbidity. Rominger said that data also will show what effect the bluegreen algae is having on the lake at any given moment.
"By looking at all those parameters, you can start to see when the algae is going to go into a bloom or become worse," Rominger told The Evening Leader. "That helps you optimize your treatment process."
Nally said officials are trying to determine precisely when the algae produces the toxin.
"We're trying to fill to void of when does the toxin trip," Nally told The Evening Leader. "Right now we know we have the presence of bluegreen algae. The piece that we are missing is what causes bluegreen algae to trip and produce toxins. That's really what we are trying to find out here."
Nally said the cost of the project is approximately $24,000. While the state is renting four of the monitors, Nally said plans are in place to purchase the devices.
The equipment is slated to remain in the lake until November, which would give officials approximately four months of data. Nally said officials will then review the data to determine a course of action for next year.
Three weeks ago, a $3.5 million alum treatment wrapped up. Nally said it will take a few months to crunch the data regarding the effectiveness of the project.
"We're looking to have a lot of the results on that, in conjunction with the data monitors, this winter," Nally said.
The data also could help determine how a different species of algae dominated the lake last year. This year, the lake has been free of the neon green, foul smelling, floating scum that plagued it last year.
"We're just trying to figure out how we got to that competitive exclusion," Nally said. "Last year was a little anomaly so we need to figure out what happened last year versus this year and that's what some of that data will tell us."
In terms of a follow-up alum treatment next year, Nally said he has held discussions with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to review their budgets. Ohio's biennial budget was approved three weeks ago.
"We are looking at what's available and what's not," Nally said. "We just sat down with US EPA and talked about the federal 319 grants, which have funded a significant number of projects here. Those decisions will be made this fall."

The current model holds the record for being the world's first turbine with a rotor diameter in excess of 150 metres (150.8m). The turbine is easily recognisable with its unusual nacelle shape and characteristic ring generator and integrated helicopter-hoisting platform. On closer inspection, one can also make out a simple looking spoiler attachment on the round inner blade section. This aims to enhance aerodynamic lift without substantially increasing resistance or drag.
The mini-jacket was designed so its dynamic behaviour is similar to a real-size offshore jacket. The design incorporates a spacious upper platform with a two-tonne service crane. The massive structural corner elements forming an interface between the lattice corner sections and central tubular steel section are impressive. Both the E-module and tower are mounted to these. The three-storey E-module houses the power electronic converter, switchgear and medium-voltage transformer.
Alstom put the electronics at the bottom of the tower to minimise top head mass (nacelle + rotor). Another reason for down tower power electronics placement was to reduce downtime by enabling easier and faster service access. Other often-quoted benefits include reduced vibration-related component failure risk and superior protection against fluctuations in operating temperatures and humidity.
Further gain
All power electronics including converter and medium voltage transformer are conversely located inside the nacelle. This enables pre-testing and pre-commissioning of the nacelle prior to installation, potentially enabling faster and simpler installation. Transporting medium-voltage rather than low-voltage solutions reduces power losses and allows the use of lighter less expensive copper cables.
When visiting the facility, I saw the second nacelle rear section mounted on a rail-type heavy-duty carrier awaiting the arrival of the water-cooled ring generator measuring around 2-metres in length and a 7.6-metre outer diameter. Electrically the Converteam (now GE) medium-voltage generator consists of three 120-degree stator sections, each feeding power into a separate power electronic converter for enhanced system redundancy.
Alstom's 'pure torque' principle is based upon a rotor hub assembly incorporating two main bearings, which rotates around a hollow stationary main pin and directly transfers rotor bending moments into the main chassis and tower. The hollow pin also offers service access to the hub, which further has a flexible linkage to the generator rotor part, which rotates on a separate third bearing. By fully separating rotor-induced bending moments and rotor torque, only pure torque is transmitted to the generator rotor.

2013 R1200GS Water Cooled- Touratech Steering Damper Kit
If your BMW R1200GS 2013 model is giving a front-end shake, wobble, or vibration that is taking the fun out of your spirited on or off-road riding, it's time to install a Touratech steering damper kit. All 2014 model bikes now come equipped with a factory BMW damper, so adding the Touratech damper is a quick and easy way to update and improve the handling of your 2013 model R1200GS.
Turbulence from an oncoming semi-truck, an uneasy feeling from knobby tires on pavement, instability in sand or gravel; these are all problems that can be easily solved by adding a Touratech steering damper to your BMW R1200GS. While the R1200GS is an inherently stable motorcycle for touring, when pushed hard off-road, loaded up with luggage, or riding fast in the twisties, it can start to show signs of front-end instability. This feeling is increased even further when a knobby tire is mounted on the 19-inch front wheel.
A steering damper effectively absorbs and dampens force transmitted from your front wheel to the handlebars, keeping the ride smoother and more stable. This can be any kind of force from the jolt of a big rock hit down to a slight shake or vibration from a side wind. You will immediately notice the difference the first time you ride behind a big truck on the freeway, or push the bike hard on a sandy road.
The steering damper has 24 clicks of adjustment, so you can quickly dial-in your preferred damping level depending on the riding condition and terrain. Use a lighter setting for general road riding, and then increase the damping level as you transition to gravel roads, dirt roads, or sandy two-track riding.
This kit from Touratech includes everything you need to install a steering damper on the front end of your R1200GS. There is no need to buy separate dampers and mounting kits. This is designed and tuned specifically for your BMW R1200GS. The installation is a simple bolt-on process, and requires no removal of bearings, drilling, or modifying your motorcycle.

Blatter: 'Political influence' helped Qatar
FIFA president Sepp Blatter has again attempted to distance himself from the decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar.
In an interview with German magazine Die Zeit, Blatter claimed European political leaders urged their football associations to vote for Qatar due to 'economic interests' in the Middle Eastern country.
Qatar's role as 2022 World Cup hosts has been controversial since they won the bid in December 2010 with accusations of corruption, plus the ongoing saga over whether the tournament can be safely held in the northern hemisphere's summer.
Blatter has conceded Qatar should hold the World Cup in the northern hemisphere's winter with the potential for temperatures to reach 50 degrees in the small Gulf nation during June and July, while the 77-year-old Swiss football administrator has also admitted politics played a role in the 2010 voting process.
"Yes, there was definitely direct political influence," Blatter said.
"European leaders recommended to its voting members to opt for Qatar, because of major economic interests in the country."
Earlier this month, Blatter admitted FIFA made 'a mistake' in awarding the World Cup to Qatar as he began his push for the 2022 event to be held in the country's winter.
Blatter's new plan is not supported by the big European football leagues, as the World Cup would suddenly occur in the middle of their seasons, while Australia - who was one of the losing bidders for the 2022 tournament - believe they deserve compensation if the potential changes go ahead.
On Tuesday, Football Federation Australia chairman Frank Lowy called on FIFA to compensate the failed bidders for the 2022 showpiece, as they had 'invested many millions, and national prestige, in bidding for a summer event'.
While FIFA have maintained they are within their rights to reschedule the World Cup, Blatter has claimed football's world governing body is investigating how Qatar won the vote.
"We have just set up a new, independent ethics commission to re-examine the awarding of the World Cup to Qatar," Blatter said.
