Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday that any gains made in the war against al-Qaida in Afghanistan could be threatened by a failure to counter the terror organization's attempts to spread influence in North Africa and other unstable regions.
In an address to the Center for a New American Security, Panetta stuck to policy points and did not mention the David Petraeus sex scandal that has roiled the Defense Department, or the "Ethics Review" he has ordered up for the flag ranks in the military.
Panetta diverted briefly to lavish praise on Michele Flournoy, who introduced him at the Willard Hotel event and who has been much-mentioned as a possible successor if Panetta goes ahead with his intention to retire early next year.
"Michele is an outstanding strategic thinker and public servant," Panetta said of Flournoy, a former undersecretary of Defense for Policy.
Panetta cited major progress by the U.S. military in 11 years of war against al-Qaida in Afghanistan and elsewhere, but "our challenge is far from over."
"Yes, we have decimated core al-Qaida and yes, we have made notable progress against its associated forces in Yemen and Somalia," Panetta said. "But the al-Qaida cancer has also adapted to this pressure by becoming even more widely distributed, loosely knit and geographically dispersed."
"We know that al-Qaida, its affiliates and adherents are looking to establish a foothold in other countries in the Middle East and North and West Africa -- including al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb and the Boko Haram group in Nigeria" as well as al-Qaida affiliates in northern Mali, Panetta said.
Panetta singled out Libya, "where violent extremists and affiliates of al-Qaida attacked and killed innocent Americans in Benghazi. With respect to that attack, let me be clear: We will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice those who perpetrated these attacks."
The U.S. was prepared to go after al-Qaida elements with increased use of special forces and drones, Panetta said, but the U.S. must also address the root causes of terrorism. Panetta called on Congress and the White House "to develop an effective approach to address the factors that attract young men and women to extremist ideologies, and to ensure that governments and societies have the capacity and the will to counter and reject violent extremism."
"To truly end the threat from al-Qaida, military force aimed at killing our enemy alone will never be enough," Panetta said. "The United States must stay involved and invested through diplomacy, development, education, and trade in those regions of the world where violent extremism has flourished."
"I frankly worry that our political system will prevent us from making the investments in diplomacy and development that we need to ensure" against al-Qaida's spread, Panetta said about the looming "fiscal cliff" the nation faces and the prospect of major defense cuts under the sequestration process.
"If we turn away from these critical regions of the world, we risk undoing the significant gains they (the troops) have made," Panetta said. "That would make us all less safe over the long term."

Even if Northwestern's redshirt-freshman QB Evan Watkins wasn't the pussy slayer that this sign maker told College Gameday Nation he is, Illinois vs. Northwestern at Wrigley is a rubbernecker's dream.
But, don't gape for too long. There are some other solid contests. Mississippi at LSU. Stanford at California. Ohio State at Iowa. Virginia Tech at Miami (FL). Florida Atlantic at Texas. Marshall at Southern Methodist.
This Evan Watkins does some p.s.ing, too, I'd assume.

Boughton takes heart from new poll
Gov Dannel P. Malloy remains in a virtual tie with Republican Tom Foley in a potential 2014 gubernatorial rematch, a new Quinnipiac University Poll finds.
But heading into the Republican nominating convention next weekend, the poll is good news for two other Republican hopefuls: Senate Minority Leader John McKinney of Fairfield and Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton.
Both Boughton and McKinney said they were buoyed by the poll and they expect to win enough support at the convention to force August primaries.
Douglas Schwartz, director of the poll said that Foley is the clear frontrunner.
"The good news for Gov. Malloy is that his numbers haven't dropped despite the negative headlines about the withdrawal of the $55 tax rebate," Schwartz said. "The public is split on Gov. Malloy's job approval. When we followed up and asked people for the main reason why they disapprove of the governor's job performance, the top reasons were pocketbook issues: taxes, budget, economy and jobs."
In a survey of 443 Republicans, the polls shows Foley has 39 percent support among Republicans, up 3 points since a similar poll in March, McKinney received 8 percent up from 3 percent. Boughton's support decreased to 9 percent, down from 11 in March, but was well within the poll's margin of error.
The much larger survey of 1,668 registered voters asked about a hypothetical matchup of each Republican against Malloy.
More InformationInfo Box
Foley, the 2010 runner-up, is tied with Malloy at 43 percent. Boughton would get 39 percent, against Malloy's 44 percent. The matchup has McKinney at 40 percent against 44 percent for the incumbent.
Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti, another hopeful, is down 37-45 to Malloy. Two-time attorney general candidate Martha Dean of Avon dropped out of the race Friday, citing her meager 5 percent statewide support in the poll.
"It shows that any of the top-tier candidates can be competitive," Boughton said in a phone interview. "We feel like we're in good shape and moving in the right direction. We're going to do real well and we're going to surprise people at the convention. It depends how well we do with the delegates out there."
McKinney, who finished his eighth term in the state Senate this week, said in a phone interview that he was pleased with the poll.
"It shows that I am within 4 points of Gov. Malloy, despite having not run statewide and not spent any money," McKinney said. "I think the poll clearly shows that my favorability is moving in the right direction, that my candidacy is getting stronger and without doubt I have put myself in my best position to beat the candidate we had in 2010. The convention is one step in the process. Our goal is to be there in the fall."
Chris Cooper, Foley's campaign spokesman, said Friday that the report shows that Democratic support for Malloy is soft.
"Today's poll affirms what the March poll found and that is that Connecticut voters are unhappy with Gov. Malloy and are looking for new leadership," Cooper said. "Nearly 80 percent of those polled believe they are no better off than at the bottom of the worst recession in 80 years. A third of those polled do not believe the governor is honest and trustworthy and even Democrats are unhappy with Malloy. Only 78 percent say they support him. I think the poll is saying they want someone with a fresh approach and smarter policies who can bring prosperity and optimism back to Connecticut and that's why voters in a very blue state again show Tom Foley running neck-and-neck with a Democrat."
Malloy's approval rating is 48 percent, the same as it was in March and identical to his March 2013 rating. His highest rating among poll questions is the 59 percent who say he has strong leadership qualities.
James Hallinan, spokesman for Malloy's campaign, had little comment Friday.
"We have tried to be consistent in not saying much about polls because, what's there to say? Polls come and go, numbers go up and down," he said. "The governor always does what he thinks is best for the state and the right thing to do."
Foley gathered support from 36 percent of Republicans surveyed. Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, of Fairfield has 11 percent; Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, Foley's 2010 running mate, has 8 percent; and House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., of Norwalk, has 4 percent. None of the Republicans has announced plans to challenge Malloy, but they have voiced interest.
Boughton, who is campaigning for election to a seventh two-year term as mayor of Danbury, said that it was "flattering" to be included in the Quinnipiac Poll list.
"I haven't spent a nickel and I'm only 7 points down from an incumbent," Boughton said. "It's ridiculously early. My No. 1 focus is on running again for mayor of Danbury."

3 Beaumont girls accused in postal worker attack
Three Beaumont girls have been accused in a July 5 attack on a postal worker.
Beaumont Police Department spokesman Rob Flores said two girls - ages 12 and 14 - were arrested Thursday and a third girl - who is 16 - was being sought.
A 55-year-old letter carrier was approached by three young women asking for money around 12:45 p.m. on July 5, Flores said.
When the postal worker said no, the girls attacked her and hit her on the back of the head, leaving a large welt, Flores said. The attack happened in the 2100 block of Ives St.
Police interviewed neighbors and witnesses to the crime and identified the three girls, whose names are not being released because they are minors.
Each of the three girls faces a third-degree felony charge of attempted robbery for the crime, Flores said.
The sergeant said he could not remember another case of an attack on a postal employee and thinks it was a "crime of opportunity."
Under the Texas Penal Code, a third-degree felony is punishable by between two and 10 years imprisonment and a fine no more than $10,000.

In a unique partnership with East Thames, Bow Arts in 2009 created a new model for affordable studio provision for artists and creative industries.
In this ground floor conversion of a warehouse space, a 2-minute walk from the Bow Road Studios complex and The Nunnery, Bow Arts Trust has provided artists with access to much needed affordable workspace, and at the same time is creating sustainable long term funding for community focused arts activity produced directly from the studios.
Over the 20 years length of the lease of this building Bow Arts will produce annually around £20,000 to seed fund a range of high quality arts activity which will benefit the residents of East Homes and the wider local community. See what East Thames say about the project here.
At a time when the arts sector is encountering funding cuts, this model provides a truly sustainable and locally focused solution to help housing associations and local authorities fulfill their community remits.
The spaces we still have available are ideal for multi occupancy for small creative businesses, applied arts, design or new media practices. Fully self contained and secure, the studios are equipped with good kitchen and toilet facilities for sole use of studio occupants. Heating and wifi access are also available across this site; all studios have BT point included for phone or individual broadband. There are 11 studios, all situated on the ground floor and accessible. There is 24-hour access, 7 days a week access to the studios.
Studios are situated a two minute walk from main Bow Arts Studio complex on Bow Road. The studios are a short walk from Bow Church DLR and Bow Rd Underground Stations. The following buses stop nearby: 25, 8, 108
Please note that there is no parking on site; arrangements can be made for loading and unloading of deliveries.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 76 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
Front Porch Pickings
I am a 30 something mother of two and am launching a new business with my dad. Our idea is to deliver fresh, local and organic produce in the form of a weekly basket. The basket will contain a variety of fruits and vegetables depending on what is fresh and in season at the time. Customers can choose different size baskets and decide if they want all certified organic, conventionally grown local produce or a mixture of the two. Our goal is to improve the health of the people in our community, encourage earth friendly practices and support our local economy.
Our target audience is anyone interested in a more healthy lifestyle- especially families with children. While we expect interest from people who already eat healthy and organic food we also want to target people who may be hesitant about eating organic because of the price barriers. We will be doing target marketing at elementary schools (especially the teachers and hopefully word will spread to the parents) and to assisted living facilities where people have less access to grocery stores. Our most likely target market is other moms.
We are looking for a logo with the name of our company with some kind of picturesque scene. I am envisioning a front porch with a basket of fresh produce on it. Maybe a rocking chair and/ or a setting sun. We want to convey health, nature and community in our logo. Attached is our brochure that I am working on (sorry it is just a screenshot) to give a better idea of colors and styles.

Professor keeps tabs on 'God talk'
"Presidential Campaign Rhetoric
in an Age of Confessional Politics.
GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney wears his Mormon faith on his sleeve. Fellow Republican contender and Texas Gov. Rick Perry launched his bid for the White House at a massive prayer rally last summer, claiming God told him to run. Newt Gingrich, author of "Rediscovering God in America," has resurrected his candidacy in part by talking openly about his conversion to Catholicism. Even President Obama, a Democrat who brought a spiritual advisor on board during his 2008 run amid rumors that he was a Muslim, has been known to use the pulpit to try to align himself with Christian voters, stating at the Lighting of the National Christmas Tree ceremony last month that Jesus' teaching "lies at the heart of my Christian faith."
Indeed "God talk" has become firmly entrenched in American presidential campaigns, according to Dr. Brian T. Kaylor, assistant professor of communication studies at James Madison University and author of the 2011 book "Presidential Campaign Rhetoric in an Age of Confessional Politics."
"Simply put, candidates invoke God to justify their positions and political visions because it works," says Kaylor, a one-time Baptist minister who teaches courses in advocacy, political communication, rhetorical methods and public speaking at JMU. This semester, he will lead a special-topics course entitled "Communication, Religion and Politics." Kaylor also serves as an editorial consultant for several Christian organizations and publishes a blog, "For God's Sake, Shut Up!" which takes its name from the title of his 2007 book subtitled "Lessons for Christians on How to Speak Effectively and When to Remain Silent."
"Presidential Campaign Rhetoric in an Age of Confessional Politics," which grew out of Kaylor's dissertation at the University of Missouri, examines religious rhetoric as a powerful political tool in the modern era. Drawing on thousands of stump speeches, advertisements and debates, Kaylor points out that the candidate who talked the most about God on the campaign trail has won each of the past nine presidential elections, beginning with Jimmy Carter's surprise victory in 1976.
"Carter's 1976 campaign signaled a new era in presidential politics," Kaylor says. "Here was a former Sunday school teacher who quoted scripture. I don't think it was anything he did deliberately. He was probably just being himself. But his aides saw that it resonated with voters and encouraged him to continue doing it."
Carter's break with political tradition reflected a broader shift in American society, Kaylor says. "Religion in politics in America dates to Thomas Jefferson, but from the country's founding to about 1960, candidates didn't talk about their faith much," he says. That began to change with John F. Kennedy, who, in a tight race with Richard Nixon, was forced to answer questions about his Catholic views. Then for the first time in the early 1960s, evangelical Christians, who emphasize accepting Christ as one's personal savior and helping spread the word of the Gospel, surpassed mainline Protestants as the dominant religious group in America.
By 1976, the confessional style had gained a foothold in politics, and Gerald Ford, who was reared in the "quiet works" of Protestantism and thus not comfortable talking publicly about his faith, paid the price at the polls. "He said during the campaign, 'I don't wear my religion on my sleeve,'" Kaylor says. "Fast forward to Bill Clinton, who made a point of saying, 'I do wear religion on my sleeve.'" Ironically, Ronald Reagan "out-God-talked" Carter on his way to victory in the 1980 election, he says.
The rhetoric isn't likely to end anytime soon, according to Kaylor. "There is a link in the minds of voters between religion and morality. They'll say things like, 'He's a Christian, so he must be a good man.' It's comforting for a lot of people." And it doesn't just play to the religious right, Kaylor adds. In October, the Democratic National Committee tapped the Rev. Derrick Harkins, a prominent African-American pastor in Washington, D.C., to lead its faith outreach. "Both sides of the aisle see the value in it and use it to justify their positions on a range of issues," he says, from health care to the environment to foreign policy.
GOP presidential candidates, meanwhile, are busy courting conservative evangelicals as the 2012 campaign kicks into high gear. The results of the recent Iowa caucus demonstrate the influence this key voting bloc holds, Kaylor writes in an article for EthicsDaily.com. Self-described "born-again" or "evangelical" Christians, who together made up 57 percent of participants in the first-in-the-nation poll, helped catapult former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas to the front of the pack with Romney, while simultaneously damaging Gingrich and Perry's chances and driving Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann out of the race, he writes.

Brooklyn Decker To Guest Star On 'New Girl'
New Girl continues to up the super attractive female guest star ante this season. Fox confirmed to Hollywood.com that model/actress Brooklyn Decker will appear in an episode early next year in which the guys will — surprise, surprise — vie for her attention.
The 25-year-old star joins the likes of Olivia Munn (who made her New Girl debut as Nick's new love interest during this week's episode), Carla Gugino, and Parker Posey as this season's ongoing onslaught of beautiful, talented guest actresses.
Decker seems to have better on the small screen than she does in film, as her TV credits include Chuck, Ugly Betty, and Royal Pains while her movie credits include, well, both Battleship and What To Expect When You're Expecting, so the entire New Girl gang (not just the drooling dudes) should be psyched.

We are renovating our 1920's kitchen by opening up a wall between the kitchen and dining room. I want to keep the character of the house and feel that I should put hardwood in the kitchen. Also, what I put in the kitchen, I have to put in the dining room section which will now be part of the kitchen. I also have a sitting room that flows from the dining room, so presumably I should have the same flooring. I have a big dog who takes a drink of water and drips it all over the floor all the way to his destination. I am very hesitant to put a wood floor in the kitchen. My designer (who's my brother!) promises that if we put 4 coats of oil on the floor, the water won't damage it.
I keep reading good things about hardwood in the kitchen. In fact, I have never read a bad thing, which makes me suspicious! Does anyone have any experience with hardwood in the kitchen--good or bad? Would you do it again?

Facebook Seeks EU Antitrust Review of WhatsApp Deal
Unexpected Twist to $19 Billion Deal Already Approved in the U.S.
Facebook Inc. has asked European Union antitrust regulators to examine its $19 billion deal to buy messaging service WhatsApp, in an attempt to avoid antitrust reviews by multiple EU countries, people familiar with the matter said.
The move was unexpected because the deal had been approved in the U.S. and wasn't expected to face scrutiny by the European Commission, the EU's central antitrust authority. But, in light of the potential for reviews by some of Europe's national antitrust watchdogs, Facebook is seeking one hearing...

Pat Murphy Named 2007 Pac-10 Baseball Coach of the Year
May 23, 2007
TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State head coach Pat Murphy has been named the Pac-10 Conference Coach of the Year, the conference announced today. The Coach of the Year is selected by a vote of all the conference head baseball coaches. This is the second time in Murphy's career he has won the award. He also won the award in 2000. It is the seventh Pac-10 Coach of the Year award in ASU history.
Murphy, now in his 13th year at Arizona State, and the Sun Devils have already clinched at least a share of the 2007 Pac-10 title, and can claim it outright with one victory this week.
'Good teams make good coaches, and I am very fortunate to have the kind of team that I do,' said Murphy. 'I have had a great time coaching this team and I am very humbled and very honored to win this award.'
Murphy has led the Devils to a 41-12 record and Top Ten national ranking despite returning only one pitcher and five starting position players from last year's team that advanced to the NCAA Tournament. There are 17 overall returners from the 2006 squad, and only five players (Joe Persichina, Rocky Laguna, Eric Sogard, Andrew Romine, Josh Satow) who were members of the 2005 College World Series squad that finished third in the nation.

There are twenty of us Banditas in the lair, yet I'm pretty sure I could tell who wrote the day's post without looking at the byline. How do I know? Choice of subject matter, for one. The personal philosophy that underpins the post. The rhythm of the sentences, the tone of the jokes, how much it makes me cry (yes, that would be you, Cassondra!) Pet words, use of language and metaphor, even the structure and layout. In all these details, a writer leaves her mark, just like a signature or a thumb print.
In the book biz, we call the distinctive sum of all those parts voice.
I've never been a huge fan of reality television shows (other than my strange fascination with Project Runway) but occasionally, I catch a glimpse of American Idol. The thing that often strikes me is that many of these people have talent but often it's not a distinctive talent (yet). They don't have the whole package that sets them apart from the rest. Sometimes, it's because a thin slip of a girl chooses a gutsy, raw song that doesn't suit her voice or her look. Let's face it, someone who looks and sings like a pixie isn't likely to carry off a heavy metal song, no matter how hard she tries. Sometimes, it's that the contestant is trying too hard to be technically perfect and that polished technical perfection doesn't show us their soul or their heart. They've polished all their rough, interesting edges away.
Unfortunately, a distinctive voice isn't something you can easily or deliberately acquire. Some people have it from the start. For others, it takes practice and experimentation to find what kind of story and style fits their personality. And for some, voice is something they have to recapture after critique groups and contests have ironed it out of their work. Whatever the case, a unique voice is worth striving for, nurturing and protecting, because it's the most valuable asset an artist can have.
For fun, I've grabbed a few books from my keeper shelf and typed out some lines. First of all, can you tell me who wrote it and the title (bonus points for the title!) how you think the voices in the paragraphs differ, what similarities you see. What is it about these paragraphs that show the writer's distinctive voice?
A Dangerous Duke diary goes to one lucky reader and a signed copy of Scandal's Daughter to the first to get all the quotes right.

The Rise Of Geek-Focused Online Video Networks
from the and-the-geeks-shall-inherit-video? deptThere's been a really interesting trend going on recently. For all the talk about how the entertainment industry must be dying (it isn't), a whole bunch of internet-aware celebrities are wholeheartedly embracing the internet as a new video platform -- and this includes a bunch of folks we've written about before. The first to make a big splash was Felicia Day, who already has been hugely successful in building a massively popular online-only video program, while also being thoughtful about new business models. On April 2nd, she and some friends -- including folks like Wil Wheaton, Veronica Belmont and Paul & Storm, -- launched the awesomely named Geek & Sundry, which includes both her existing show, The Guild, and a variety of others (including Wheaton's Tabletop, which looks awesome).
That same day, Chris Hardwick, of the Nerdist (or, I guess we should now call it "Nerdist Industries") launched his special YouTube channel with a variety of shows of its own:
While some of the programming is based on already-existing Nerdist properties, most of it has been specifically conceived for the Nerdist YouTube channel. For instance, "Face to Face with 'Weird Al' Yankovic" brings in the beloved song parodist (and frequent Nerdist guest and contributor) to interview celebrities, and "Ain't it Cool News with Harry Knowles" will adapt the infamous film gossip site to a filmed talk show. Hardwick will also host "Chris Hardwick's All Star Bowling," a bowling competition/comedy show with a nod to Hardwick's father, champion bowler Billy Hardwick. Nerdist will also stream episodes of the legendary sketch show "Kids in the Hall," with new interviews and segments hosted by Hardwick.While I note that there's a lot of overlap between these two worlds (Wheaton and Hardwick are good friends and used to be roommates, and I'm pretty sure Hardwick is friends with Paul & Storm too), it seems pretty cool that they're both starting to flood YouTube with cool content.
The Nerdist YouTube channel will also incorporate adaptations of Nerdist podcasts, and plenty of wild cards, most notably: "Neil Patrick Harris' Puppetopia," "Gif Gif City," "Cute Things Exploding," "Weird Shit From Japan," "Untitled Rob Zombie Project" and "Star Talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson," a video version of the podcast hosted by the famed astrophysicist.
Amusingly, when I first started writing up this post, I was going to mention all of the cool things that Kevin Smith has done with his Smodcast network, but I was realizing that was just audio. Well, no matter. Just as I was reading up on the details of the other two networks, I saw the news that Smith was launching Smodcast Internet TV -- his own online video network too! Perfect timing, Kev.
Like both of the other networks, the plan here is to take some existing shows (in this case, from the Smodcast network), and then add some new ones as well.
Who knows if all of these (or any of these) will survive, or even thrive. But, the awesome thing is that they can do these things and just see what happens. They don't need to go through gatekeepers. There are no gatekeepers anymore. They can blaze their own path and find out for themselves what works and what doesn't work -- and we're talking about a bunch of folks who all have pretty long histories of really embracing what the internet allows, so I'm excited to see where these experiments go, and I'd imagine we're going to see plenty more like this. Some will succeed, some will fail. But you have to be blind to think that creativity or the industry is struggling. People who can't help but create cool and amazing things suddenly have many more tools at their disposal for creating, distributing, promoting (and, yes, monetizing) content than ever before, and tons of new opportunities are opening up.
Anyone who thinks that the entertainment industry is in trouble isn't paying attention. The rest of us are over here checking out all sorts of cool new content, which didn't require a big studio exec deciding whether or not it deserved to be on TV.

Bayern has to overcome 1-0 deficit against Madrid
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) Bayern Munich is seeking to become the first club to defend the Champions League title. The title holder, however, is the only team to have conceded a goal in the first leg of the semifinals after losing to Real Madrid 1-0. Chelsea held on to earn a 0-0 draw at Atletico Madrid and will look to clinch its second final in three seasons at home on Wednesday.
Here are five things to know ahead of the second-leg semifinals:
ATTACK MODE I: Real Madrid has honed its attack for the trip to Germany. Besides winning the Copa del Rey over Barcelona two weeks ago, Carlo Ancelotti's side has stayed in the Spanish league title hunt by winning its last four games by the combined score of 17-0.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 46th and 47th goals of the season in all competitions on Saturday as Madrid crushed Osasuna 4-0, while also resting Gareth Bale as he recovers from the flu, striker Karim Benzema, defender Pepe and midfielder Xabi Alonso. Ancelotti said that Ronaldo is back to full fitness since a recent leg injury and that he expects both Bale and Benzema to play against Bayern Munich.
The Italian manager said he plans to go for the win instead of trying to make good on his team's slender 1-0 advantage. "We want to score, not just defend," Ancelotti said. "There is a good vibe in the team, a lot of confidence, and we are very motivated to play the match."
ATTACK MODE II: Bayern was also in scoring mode at home, when it put five past Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. But it also conceded two and trailed twice after playing a very poor first half. Bayern's defense looked vulnerable against counterattacks – precisely the way Madrid scored in the first leg.
Coach Pep Guardiola said the win was "good for the mood" before Tuesday's match, but did not hide his disappointment at how Bayern played in the first half.
Attacking midfielder Thomas Mueller was pragmatic. "This game is not important but the mood is important and we need to make sure we release all our positive energy now," he said.
What should worry Bayern is its sudden weakness in defense – it has conceded eight goals in its last three Bundesliga games at home.
BAYERN VS. REAL: Real Madrid has nine European Cup titles, while Bayern is a five-time champion. The two clubs with the most titles have met in European Cup semifinals five times, with Madrid coming through only once, in 2000. In the most recent tie, Bayern won on penalties in 2012.
Madrid knocked out German opposition, Schalke and Borussia Dortmund, in the previous rounds, but it has only two wins in Germany with 19 defeats and six draws. Bayern has eight wins against Madrid at home, with one draw.
CHELSEA AMBITION: The only trophy Jose Mourinho didn't collect in his first spell as Chelsea manager was the Champions League, and it's the competition he wants to win at the end of his first season back. Not that there is much of a choice, as it still trails leader Liverpool by two points in the Premier League despite beating its rival 2-0 on Sunday.
Few managers can match Mourinho's fierce competitive streak, yet he claims that finishing the season without a trophy won't trouble him.
"When you give everything you have, when you try everything, when you work hard, when the group is good, when the group respects the club and the fans, you wait for the end of the season and you see what destiny has for you," Mourinho said.
Mourinho has long insisted this was a season of transition.
Frank Lampard and Jon Obi Mikel are suspended for the second leg, while first-choice goalkeeper Petr Cech has been ruled out after injuring his shoulder in Madrid. Mark Schwarzer, the 41-year-old Australian who protected the 0-0 draw in the first leg, is set to stay in goal for the home fixture.
"He knows everything about the goal, about the small box," Mourinho said of Schwarzer. "And when you are choosing a second goalkeeper you need to choose somebody that is especially mentally ready to play in any moment."
WINNING FORMULA: Atletico Madrid's 1-0 win at Valencia on Sunday may have also served as a rehearsal for what it will hope to achieve at Stamford Bridge. Atletico continued its march toward the Spanish league title by again deploying a suffocating defense while getting the most out of its limited scoring chances. While a draw with goals will be enough to send it through to the final, Atletico will surely need to show the same poise at the back that it has demonstrated all season.
Atletico can also take heart that Chelsea has lost two of three European ties after drawing 0-0 away in the first leg.
"We are competing at the highest level and we hope to take another step for us and the history of the club," said midfielder Raul Garcia, Atletico's scorer at Valencia. "We will have to play our hearts out."

I have owned a Pyranha Traveller 15 in Royalite since about 1998. I bought it at a time when I was starting to get bored with my kk and wanted something that I could travel in a more leisurely manner with and carry more picnic food/camping gear and also take my dog with me.
In the initial years as I learnt to paddle in straighter lines it suffered very little damage even on white water as being light and manoeuvrable I was able to use my kk experience to throw it around reasonably well.
However in the last few years I have tried ever more demanding waters and this resulted in September with me severely rattling the tail on a river in Scotland and subsequent inspection showed the start of several splits. It did not stop the canoe from being gaffer-taped up and used for another two days but I was being careful.
On my return to the south I purchased a We-No-Nah Prospector 15 which is a better boat for my type of paddling (and yes I have split the tail on that one too) but the Pyranha is a lovely boat and will last for years yet for myself and friends/family so it deserved a skid plate and some TLC.
I needed the We-No-Nah mended in a hurry so I rather learnt on that and also did not have the time to play with the camera. Some people will, I know, have different ideas about how I did my repair but as I could not find any ready advice I have written this in the hope that it might help others. Any further comments on the repair would be appreciated as the way I am going, I might have to do another repair job one day and I know someone else who might be asking me to have a go at their boat
As I said the Pyranha had a split well several really.
I was advised by Dave Crooks at Endless River guess whose Skid Plate kit I used?? to drill the ends of the splits to stop them running further as the hull flexed in future use.
I used a small grinder to explore the cracks.
I then ground off the very flaky pieces of outer plastic shell but tried to avoid getting into the foam base or taking too much of the unstuck plastic flaps off. I decided that dabbing some resin under the flaps would help stick them down.
I placed the patch over the canoe end and marked around it I know, green felt pen on a green boat
But so what, I could see it! The line is just below the finger. I then sanded the hull within the lined area and on it using some non-clogging 3M sandpaper. I gave it a good rub all over making sure that I did up and down strokes, across strokes and round in circles movements for good measure in fact everything that you would not want to do to wood in order to make sure that I had a good surface to key the resin on to. I wiped down the hull with cloth and then used vanilla flavoured nail polish remover from Boots plenty left if you want some as that was the only type of Acetone that I could find in town to finish with.
I also cut some darts into the edge of the material so that it would fold a little easier around the curve of the stem. This had worked well on the We-No-Nah but was probably not necessary on this boat as the hull is not so finely proportioned.
It may assist if you have some help in doing the job if only for moral support!!
I had seen a few other boats with resin runs and so I decided to mask mine off with tape.
And plastic bags from the local supermarket
I then decided not to follow the instructions about using cardboard to wet out the patch. I had heard from several sources that an Endless River kit would not have enough resin vehemently denied by Dave and Carolyn but I was not taking the risk. I wet my patch on top of the boat working on the principle that any run off would only go on the place I wanted it anyway.
After wetting the one side of the patch and slipping some gel in the flaps of loose plastic, I flipped the patch and wetted out the other side keeping a close watch on the time as the resin is curing once the hardener is mixed in. I then applied three longitudinal layers of cling film (this is something that there is plenty of!) and using a beer can started rolling out some air bubbles and making sure that the patch was smooth. In the photo you can see that one side is yellowier (unrolled) and the other side looks greener. A small fibre glassing roller (the sort with discs) would have been better on the wetted patch before the cling film but I could not find one for sale.
At this stage in future I will remove the masking tape and bags as it might be easier than after the resin has hardened.
I then wrapped the end of the canoe in cling film giving it tight laminations and went off to clean the equipment and drink the beer!
I did not turn my boat over as suggested in the instructions but without the masking tape and bags I would do.
I am quite pleased with the finished result. It has not been on the water yet but the We-No-Nah has been scraped down rock several times and is standing up to the job well.
Next time I will be more careful when I stir the resin and hardener as I feel I put too many air bubbles in the mix. Otherwise I am very happy with my result.
I am sure there is more to be said but the instructions in the bucket from Endless River (plus nearly everything you need and there was sufficient resin) cover most things like perhaps wanting your patch higher up the stem of the front of the canoe (I have only patched my sterns so one kit did both boats) and the usual Health and Safety advice.

Lucie Rie
English (born in Austria), 1902–1995
Bowl, 1984
11.8 x 15.9 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from an anonymous donor
A recognized leader in British studio pottery of the twentieth century, Dame Lucie Rie synthesized the traditional vessel format with the clean profile of the modernist aesthetic. Born in Austria, she trained in Vienna from 1922 to 1926 before immigrating to London in 1938. For a brief period she was influenced by the ideas and teachings of ceramist Bernard Leach, the father of the studio pottery movement in Britain. Leach brought together Asian aesthetics and philosophies with a concentration on functional wares. However, Rie forged ahead in her own direction, exploring a personal aesthetic that moved stylistically towards Scandinavian modernism. The WAG's porcelain bowl, with its pitted surface and understated elegance, is Rie at her finest. The profile is simple, the surface is unadorned beyond the beautiful yellow glaze, and the proportions are perfectly balanced.

Motorola legal tie to pull pricey Aura phone off eBay
'I do solemnly swear not to sell my $2000 handset...'
Exclusive Once you've grown tired of your mobile phone then it's your prerogative to flog it on eBay, right? Not if you buy Motorola's upcoming Aura phone, because the firm's penned a contract to prevent secondhand sales.
Motorola's Aura: won't appear on eBay
A source close to the company told Register Hardware that in order to maintain Aura's glow of exclusivity, buyers will be required to "sign into a contract that states they can't sell it on eBay".
The source added that if an Aura owner wants to sell their phone after they've bought it then they'll only have one option: to sell it back to the manufacturer.
It's thought that Aura will cost somewhere in the region of $2000 (£1234/€1555), but what price Motorola will offer you for a secondhand model is still unknown.
Presumably, each Aura sold will carry a unique id number, possibly above and beyond an IMEI code, that'll be linked to a specific buyer. So should you shirk your contractual obligations and offer your handset for auction, then Motorola's legal department will come knocking on your door.
Motorola hasn't officially confirmed when Aura will be available in the UK, but the source also told us that it'll be in shops around the time of this year's Clothes Show Live – which starts on 5 December.

Deeply Dapper Dispatches is a podcast about kids from the 80's that grew into hairy horror hounds and fans of sci-fi, retro gaming, comics and geeky stuff like that. Each week we sum up the Nerd News, drink a few beers and review Horror movies, books, video games and everything else we dig. 3D also chronicles my travels to assorted cons across the western US as a con artist behind the table at Comic Cons, Board Game Conventions, RPG Tournaments, Anime Cons, Horror Conventions and pretty much anywhere they'll let me hunker down in an alley and sell. I also get together with my friends to drink a few beers and cover some geeky news, book reviews, movie reviews and recommends and whatever strikes my fancy.
3D can also be found on iTunes Google Play and Stitcher! Timestamps and Show Notes can be found on our main page HERE
If you like what you are hearing - please review us on iTunes and subscribe to our channel on iTunes and YouTube - it helps other geeks find us and makes me feel all fuzzy inside. You can also suggest topics for conversation, comment, complain or compliment - or if you have a book, movie, game or project you'd like us to review - you can contact us!

Enterprise Achitecture versus Total Cost of OwnershipHolm Larsen, Michael; Holck, Jesper; Kühn Pedersen, Mogens (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Abstract: The paper presents an explorative study of Open Source Software (OSS) focusing on the managerial decisions for acquisition of OSS. Based on three case studies we argue that whereas small organizations often may chose adoption of OSS expecting significant cost savings, a major barrier for larger organizations' adoption of OSS lies in the organizations' consolidation of the enterprise architectures, in addition to that OSS will not be adopted before satisfactory delivery and procurement models for OSS are established.

Holck, Jesper; Holm Larsen, Michael; Kühn Pedersen, Mogens (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The main research interest in Open Source Software (OSS) has been in answering the questions of why individuals and organizations without economic compensation contribute to OSS projects and how these projects are organized. In this paper we instead focus on managerial decisions for acquisition of OSS and discuss potential barriers for widespread use of OSS. Based on existing literature and a small case study, we develop and discuss the hypothesis that a major barrier may be the "customer" organizations' uncertainty and unfamiliarity with the relationships with OSS "vendors". To develop viable models for these relationships is an important challenge, which we will deal with in a research project, of which this paper should be seen as a first step.

Beyond the Business CaseHolck, Jesper; Kühn Pedersen, Mogens; Holm Larsen, Michael (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Lately we have seen a growing interest from both public and private organisations to adopt Open Source Software (OSS), not only for a few, specific applications but also on a more general level throughout the organisation. As a consequence, the organisations' decisions on adoption of OSS are becoming increasingly more important and complex. We present three perspectives organisations can employ in their decisions: seeing OSS acquisition as a business case, as COTS acquisition, and as architectural change within a governance framework. We present case studies of decisions on OSS adoption, and categorise the decision criteria we have found. Our results indicate that for large-scale adoption of OSS, focus will be on architectural considerations: enterprise-wide architectures will at first be a barrier, but in the long term OSS's support of open standards can be a major enabler for OSS adoption. In contrast, in smaller organisations and in small-scale adoption of OSS, the cheap price of OSS is a major enabler, as it provides a good opportunity for experiments and short-term economic benefits. For small organisations these experiments can lead to development of a common IT-architecture, and in larger organisations OSS can be adopted in niche-areas, without significantly violating an existing IT-architecture.

Work on Lake Delhi dam expected to begin in spring
Issues remain, but lake district officials say reconstruction of the Lake Delhi dam probably will start this spring.
The 9-mile lake on the Maquoketa River in northeast Iowa was drained when the dam collapsed during flooding in 2010.
Steve Leonard is president of the board of trustees of the Combined Lake Delhi Recreational Facility and Water Quality District.
He told The Gazette that the project "has definitely gone slower than we'd have liked, but it's looking good for a spring start on phase one," which includes work on the original concrete portion of the dam.
Leonard says the remaining issues include interplay with regulatory agencies and the whims of weather. Given those, he says, it's impossible to predict when refilling of the lake might begin.

How to Remove Books or Magazines from Your Kindle Fire HD
Content you've purchased for your Kindle Fire HD on Amazon, from apps to music and books, is archived in your Amazon Cloud library. If you finish reading a book, you can remove it from your device. The book is still in the Amazon Cloud, and you can re-download it to your Kindle Fire HD at any time when you're connected to a Wi-Fi network.
To remove a book or magazine from your Kindle Fire HD libraries, follow these steps:
On the Home screen, tap Books or Newsstand to display your library.
Locate and press your finger on the item you want to remove.
A menu appears.
Tap Remove from Device.
The thumbnail of the item remains in your Books library on the Cloud tab and on the Carousel or Favorites if you've placed it there. To download and read the book again, just double-tap it in any of these locations, and the download begins.
Unlike video and music, which you can stream from the Cloud without ever downloading them, books, magazines, and newspapers can't be read from the Cloud; they must be downloaded to a Kindle device before you can read them.
If you download a periodical and then press your finger on it in Newsstand, you see the Keep or Remove from Device options shown. At some point, old issues will be removed from your device unless you choose to keep them by using the Keep command.
Book samples will offer only a Delete option when you get to Step 3 above. The New Oxford American Dictionary offers only the option of adding it to Favorites because it's pre-installed by Amazon.

I decided to start over with this project and have been cycling a 10 gallon tank for the last 3 weeks using an already cycled sponge filter and some panties stuffed with established substrate so we are good to go now.
This tank is setup different than the last tank and hopefully it will stop the adult fish from eating the eggs. I have made a false bottom using egg crate and plastic mesh so that the eggs will fall through and land safely on the bottom where i should be
So ive decided to try my luck at breeding what i would class as the most common species in the trade.... The Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon innesi) I have no clue if i will succeed but if i dont then no harm done, however if i do then i will finally get on the ladder and earn some BAP points !
With the amount of rain we have had recently i decided to leave a 5 gallon bucket outside with a insect window screen above to hopefully collect pure rainwater without any creepy crawlies
Since the fry have hatched and are free swimming now, ive decided not to do a day by day blog. I will keep the blog open and will update when anything inetresting happens.
The color and the features of the fry are more noticeable now with them being a grey/white speckle.
(May 2nd) Most of the fry have gone, not sure if the parents ate them or if it was my fault. I have managed to net the remaining 6 and place them in a breeder tank inside the parents tank. I have been
Finally !!!!!! As i was feeding the Kribs at around 4pm today i noticed the female was nowhere to be seen. I looked inside the PVC pipe and their she was fanning the eggs. I had a quick look and then left the tank alone as i dont want to spook her. Im really hoping they dont eat the eggs this time.
Although this morning the eggs are still in the pipe im not sure that the pair know what to do just yet. I was expecting to not see the Female for
Today i decided to make my own fish food, a quick google search gave me a few recipes. I mixed whole shrimp with peas, spinach, zucchini some liquid multi vitamin and Spirulina powder and out came what looked like a giant booger ! I hope it tastes better than it smelt !! I poured it into some ziploc bags and placed them in the freezer. A few hours later the food was ready and dinner was about to be served. I decided to try it out on my Platys first in another tank. . . just

For two months, the stronger indexes have been trying to break higher, while the weaker ones have been building the case to break lower. Thursday they did both — on the same day. It has become just that bifurcated. Throughout this period, there were range trades that could be made trading long the strong and short the weak. All the while, the wolves were gathering for the kill. Now it is time for the endgame.
No, this is not the big one. It's not a 2008-style crash. It's probably more like the May 2010 or May 2012 cascades lower, and those types of setups you typically want to at least avoid, if not profit from.
It's been so long that most have forgotten what the setup even looks like, since the last time it occurred was way back in November of 2012. Like then, the probabilities are high that it will unfold and do so fast. The setup at hand is multiple clustered swing points on multiple timeframes across multiple indexes. They started to crack Thursday, with the Russell 2000 on the daily time frame.
If we close at these levels or lower today, then the break will span multiple timeframes, and the Russell will be the first of the majors to transition to something other than a bullish trend. Whether it happens tomorrow or next week, in my estimation, there is enough evidence to suggest it is coming.
The reason this isn't 2008 is because you don't have symmetry in the setup which, if you move beyond the technical picture, is also true fundamentally. There you don't have the setup either. From a technical perspective, only the Russell 2000 and the Nasdaq have faster selloff setups, and when you have that kind of divergence, the massive move down is not a high-probability candidate. What is much more likely is a two-staged breakdown from here based on the daily and weekly timeframes.
Assuming the breakdown does occur within the next few days, the first stage likely takes the Russell 2000 down to the low $1000s and then after a retest-and-regenerate sequence, a further push to the $1025-$1050 level is likely. One can envision the breakdown in the Russell dragging the next-weakest index (the Nasdaq Composite) down to test its swing-point low, at which point it would finish off a daily bearish ABCD projection; bounce for a bit, then do the same routine as the Russell and take out multiple clustered swing-point lows. If it plays out this way, the projection on the weekly time frame if the NASDAQ breaks is around $3770.
If these breakdowns do occur and, in my opinion they are highly likely now, then don't be surprised if you wake up one day in the not-too-distant future with the S&P 500 trading under $1800 again. It would be at that point that the Wolves of Wall Street will finally be fat and happy, and those who aren't mesmerized and stuck in the headlights can actually do some more serious buying.

jps necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 113 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
Landscape Ecology at Penn State
Landscape Ecology at Penn State is a group of PhDs, graduate students, and undergrads who study processes of ecological change at large scales. We need a logo to "brand" our scientific contributions. It will be used at Penn State University, professional conferences, and in print advertisements for new personnel.
Landscape Ecology at Penn State (LEAPS) is an academic group of scientists led by Erica Smithwick, PhD. The group includes Post-Doctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduates. We are ecologists housed in a Geography Department. Our interests are diverse - we study forests and the soils that support them but we are also interested in green infrastructure. We are interested in processes of change, such as fire and climate change and the role of people in managing ecosystems. We work in Pennsylvania, the Appalachian Mountains, the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (WY), Ghana, and South Africa.
Because our work is so diverse, we are looking for a logo to help other scientists recognize the combined productivity of our lab. We will use the logo on our website, which is primarily visited by other scientists with similar interests. We will also use the logo on powerpoint slides for conference presentations and for print advertisements for personnel.
We would like the logo to "say" that we are scientists. It should indicate that we work in a "green" or "environmental" field. The Ecological Society of America (http://www.esa.org) is probably the best match for a professional community for us, and thus might help in the brainstorming process. The International Association of Landscape Ecologists (http://www.landscape-ecology.org/) is another good match.
Ultimately, many visitors will arrive at our website from this link on the newly redesigned departmental webpage:
Please feel free to use anything from that page as a source of design inspiration.
* Instantly recognizable (brandable)
* Clean and modern
* Designs should be able to be utilized on a variety of media - web, print, business cards, etc so the following formats preferred .eps, .jpg/.png/.gif, and .tiff
* Designs that will have full copyright transferred to us - however we are happy for you to display the logo in your portfolio.
* Designs will be in color most of the time, but still need to work in black and white with no gradients, i.e. journal advertisements
* Designs should not be overly flashy/busy.
* Designs that are essentially the company name next to clip art. These types will be eliminated promptly. Winning design should be 100% original.
