BOURBONNAIS — Charles Tillman still has the ball-punch in his defensive tool box.
Tim Jennings still knows how beneficial it can be to loiter near the football where good things can happen for a cornerback.
And Julius Peppers remains vigilant when it comes to harassing the quarterback.
Not much has changed for the Bears' veteran, pilfering defensive unit with the absence of coach Lovie Smith, defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli and likely Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher.

NEW YORK – The Joseph Greenblatt saga is finally over, at least the New York City version of it.
Five years and 114 court appearance after his arrest, the admitted swindler was sentenced Wednesday to six to 18 years in state prison in New York in exchange for his guilty plea for defrauding investors in his Paramus-based real estate investment company out of $31 million.
Greenblatt, 50, was arrested in 2007 and indicted on 32 counts of grand larceny and fraud through a Ponzi scheme he organized with his company, Maywood Capital. But the case was put on a bank burner while he served prison terms on unrelated charges of swindling investors in an earlier Brooklyn-based company and for defrauding the federal Housing and Urban Development department dating back to 1995.
He has been in jail since early in 2006, most recently on Rikers Island in New York.
While Wednesday's sentencing was the final step in New York, Greenblatt still faces criminal charges in Hackensack. He is accused of bouncing more than 30 checks to investors worth $1.3 million. Those violations involve many of the same victims as in the Manhattan case, so whatever sentence is imposed is likely to be concurrent with the New York sentence.
Earlier, two co-defendants who served as attorneys for Maywood Capital, former Elmwood Park Council President Joseph Mongelli and Peter Vogel of Teaneck, pleaded guilty to their role in the fraud. Because of health problems, Vogel was sentenced to probation while Mongelli was sentenced in May to six months in jail.

Oh, what having limited cap space can do to a team.
When the Texans released Jacoby Jones a couple of months ago, fans in Houston rejoiced. Many, because of his comedy of errors in the team's playoff game in Baltimore. But for others, such as myself, because we had been hearing about Jones' "potential" for five seasons. After the fourth, it was pretty clear he was never going to grasp that potential and it was past time for him to go.
With that saga now in the books, Houston is left with Andre Johnson, Kevin Walter and exactly zero other wide receivers who have ever caught a pass at the NFL level. This is why many experts suggested that they'd take a look at Braylon Edwards or Randy Moss earlier in the offseason. Well, neither of those guys got a phone call…but Roy Williams did.
When I first heard about this, I scoffed. If Mike Sims-Walker tried out and couldn't make the team, there's no way Williams will, right?
With training camp starting in less than 48 hours from now, I could see Houston giving him the vet minimum to stick around and have a shot at the team and I'll explain why.
By now, most of us know the story on the former 1st round pick, taken seventh overall by Detroit in 2004. Loads of talent coming out of the University of Texas, but never quite reaching his potential in the Motor City. Even after a breakout season in 2006 that led to his lone pro bowl appearance, Williams has never been more than a possession receiver since.
However, many blamed the black hole that was the Lions franchise for his shortcomings and Dallas bought into that hype and actually traded a future first round selection for his rights. Needless to say, that ended up a disaster as he concluded two and a half years with the Cowboys netting a total of less than 1,400 yards receiving in 40 games played.
Many thought he was done, but Chicago took a flier on Williams and he stuck around for the entirety of the 2011 season that saw him finish with a mediocre 37 receptions for 507 total yards. And, once again, many predicted he would ride off into the sunset after the Bears decided against bringing him back.
This brings us to his tryout today with the Texans. Houston is a team with very few holes on their roster, but their depth at wide receiver is very shaky. It all rests upon the health of Andre Johnson, who has missed 12 games the past two years with lingering injuries. This is a common occurrence to a player at his position once they reach their thirties and there is a lot of mileage on those legs. The team will be okay if he can stay on the field, but if Johnson suffers multiple setbacks like he did last year, Houston could be in trouble.
Big trouble.
Kevin Walter is never going to be a guy anyone fears and there were multiple game tapes I watched last year that saw him left completely wide open for a good number of snaps. In fact, many Texans fans argue that he shouldn't even be the teams number two. And after him? It's all rookies.
Undrafted, out of Florida Atlantic, Lestar Jean opened some eyes in preseason last year before being placed on the injured reserve. Coaches speak highly of him and many think he has an inside track at getting some snaps in 2012, but he still has a ways to go. Surely he has a step up on everyone else due to knowledge of the system, but to crown him at this point (like many Texans fans already are) would be premature.
Rookie DeVier Posey is somewhat of a wild card, in my opinion. Some have speculated that he hasn't looked good in OTA's or what not, but I'm ready to give him a longer leash than that after the team spent a third round pick on him. He showed the talent at Ohio State, but there remain many concerns about his maturity. Still, he's a rookie and has an uphill climb ahead of him.
The other rookie, Keshawn Martin, will likely see the field in a good chunk of 2012. He seems like the ideal replacement for Jacoby Jones on special teams and looks to be that firecracker in the slot that can make some big plays. But, like the other guys, he has zero experience at this level. Which is why I think Roy Williams has a chance to be invited to training camp with a shot at the final roster.
It may not be the veteran presence the team was looking for, but when you're in cap hell like the Texans are rumored to be, you have to pick from the scrap heap. If he comes in and is a big knucklehead like he has been in the past, Gary Kubiak will say thanks, but no thanks and there will be no big loss. But if Williams realizes that this could be his last shot in the league, he's got a hell of a chance to make this roster due to inexperience ahead of him.
While I still think Williams is a slow, very poor route runner and an incredibly selfish football player, but who else does Houston have that you're worried about him stealing snaps from? A bunch of unproven guys?
Even if you're okay with going young, we all know by now that a guy like Gary Kubiak isn't.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WYTV) – A woman told police that she shot an intruder she found in the kitchen of her Imperial Street home.
Yalanda Whipple, 27, said she and her children were carrying items from her house into the car. She said her children started screaming when seeing the man in the home.
Whipple told police she grabbed a gun from under a pillow and shot the man in self defense.
Police said the man, identified as 22-year-old Adam Perkins, then staggered outside and was picked up by someone. He was found by police officers at apartments on Tyrell Avenue with a gunshot wound to the stomach.
Perkins is now at St. Elizabeth Hospital, where he is in critical condition.
Whipple denied seeing Perkins before.
No one has been charged as police continue to investigate the circumstances surround
Neighbors said they heard two to four gunshots that sounded like they were coming from outside around 4:30 p.m. They said they saw a woman run out of a house with a gun and into another house with two young children inside.
Neighbors said they then saw a man running in the street. He fell to the ground and said he'd been shot, according to neighbors' accounts.
They said a car came up, the door swung open and the man got inside before it sped off to Salt Springs Road.

I Married a Communist (1998) is part of a trilogy -- with American Pastoral (1997) and The Human Stain (2000) -- in which Roth offers his take on some crucial periods in twentieth-century American history. Focussing on the anti-communist fervor in the United States after World War Two, I Married a Communist tells the story of Ira Ringold, a ditchdigger turned radio star, famous for playing figures like Abraham Lincoln in debates about slavery and for criticizing American capitalism and the way it treats its workers. He is one of Roth's most sharply drawn characters: his credulity, impulsiveness, single-mindedness, and self-destructiveness affect his personal life as profoundly as they do his …

RIVERSIDE – A divisive battle to stop a strip mine, the conviction of a cop killer, bad odors and the narrow defeat of a longtime supervisor were among the leading stories of 2012 in Riverside County.
In January, the county's second-largest collective bargaining unit, Service Employees International Union Local 721, called a one-day work stoppage to protest the Board of Supervisors' imposition of a contract requiring members
to pay more toward their own pensions.
Only a quarter of the local's members took part in the walkout, during which a rally was held outside the County Administrative Center, followed by a march through the streets of downtown Riverside.
The county argued the union had refused to negotiate reasonably after eight months of talks and no compromise on pension restructuring, which impacted all county employees with the goal of holding down long-term financial
obligations. SEIU countered that its members could not afford to have more stripped out of their paychecks.
The two sides eventually reached a mutual agreement.
Also in January, R&B legend Etta James died. The Riverside resident, who had been struggling with leukemia and other health complications for years, was less than a week away from turning 74. James' recording career spanned more than four decades. In the last two years of her life, the artist's estate had become the center of a legal dispute between her eldest son and his stepfather.
The family squabble was not resolved by the end of 2012.
In February, Moreno Valley Unified School District Board member Mike Luis Rios was charged with trying to kill two men at whom he allegedly opened fire outside his house. Rios told authorities the pair had shot at him first, but there was no corroborating evidence to support that claim, investigators said.
The confrontation was triggered when Rios got the men kicked out of a bar for talking to his date, witnesses said.
A month later, Rios was charged with multiple additional felonies for allegedly running a prostitution ring out of his home. Allegations included pandering, pimping and rape. The scandal prompted a petition drive to have him booted from the school board. Rios continues to hold his seat. If convicted, he would automatically lose it.
Also in February, the Board of Supervisors held several public hearings on a mining company's appeal for reconsideration of a proposed 414-acre strip mine just south of Temecula. Permits for the Liberty Quarry were denied by the county Planning Commission in 2011, leaving the board as a quasi "court of last resort."
Opponents greatly outnumbered supporters of the mine, which was generally viewed as a health threat and potentially damaging to the Temecula Valley Wine Country. An environmental impact report commissioned by the quarry sponsor, Granite Construction, found that most negative impacts of the project could be mitigated. But critics cited numerous flaws in the document.
The board voted 3-2 against the mine. However, in May, board Chairman John Tavaglione switched sides and voted to certify Granite's EIR, paving the way for the mining company to return with a revised quarry plan, which it did
in July.
Supervisor John Benoit, a Liberty Quarry backer, proceeded to seek amendments to county ordinances that would allow fast-tracking mining and reclamation projects. A series of contentious board meetings ensued, with Supervisor Jeff Stone leading the charge against fast-tracking. The measures passed anyway in a 3-2 vote.
In November, just weeks before Granite's request to fast-track its revised quarry plan was slated to come before the board, the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians announced that it was buying the mining site for $3 million, ending the Liberty Quarry proposal.
In April and May, the trial of cop killer Earl Ellis Green played out in Superior Court. Green beat and fatally shot Riverside police Officer Ryan Patrick Bonaminio on Nov. 7, 2010, after the officer chased him into a parking lot and slipped in a flower bed, giving Green the opportunity to grab the lawman's firearm.
Testimony revealed the parolee ignored the injured officer's plea not to shoot him and instead approached to within several feet of Bonaminio and opened fire at point-blank range. Green was sentenced to death in June.
In July, for the first time in four years, Riverside County began its fiscal year with a structurally balanced budget. With signs of a slowly improving economy, officials were cautiously optimistic that 2012-13 would end without the county facing a deficit.
In September, something was rotten in the county of Riverside — and neighboring counties, too. On the night of Sept. 9, a strong sulphuric odor became noticeable and prompted calls to area authorities. The stench hung on
the air for part of the following day, prompting an investigation by the South Coast Air Quality Management District, which determined the source to be the Salton Sea, where organic decay has been an ongoing problem as water levels recede. A storm cell that started over the desert and moved west dragged the malodor with it, officials said.
At year's end, a 20-year county supervisor, Bob Buster, lost his re-election bid to former state Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries. The victory was more than two weeks in the making, as absentee and provisional ballots took additional time to process by the registrar of voters' office. In the end, Jeffries came out ahead by more than 1,000 votes. He attributed his victory to his anti-tax position and the desire among residents from the First District for a more responsive representative. Buster predicted future political campaigns.

A matter of trust
"When will it end?" Christine sighed as a few of us sat under the stars in Sara's hot tub last week.
"What end? Are you going all 2012 on us?" I asked.
"No, I mean the pill. I'm 45 and still have to take stupid birth control pills."
"Well, you could stop."
"Yeah and maybe we'll be throwing you a 'miracle baby' shower in nine months," Sara snarked.
"Why can't they invent The Pill for men?"
"I think they're close to it; I remember reading somewhere about that. But, it's never gonna fly."
"Why?" Sara asked. "Cause men won't take it? I mean, they're not the ones who blimp out and get ripped in two giving birth."
"Right, but they still have to pay for that baby whether they want her or not. I think most would take a pill, but I'm not so sure we'd trust they'd take it," I said.
"That's not true!" Christine protested.
Despite Christine's protestations, her sistas disagree; 76 percent of women say they're more responsible than guys about birth control.
This, despite another study in which 68 percent of women said they're all for a male birth control pill.
Which, I guess, means we want guys to have the option, we just won't believe that they'll take 'em.
So, are women really saying that they don't trust men? What in our experience with men would make us think that they wouldn't remember to take their pill? I mean, most can remember the most inane things, like the baseball team holds the record for the most home runs in a game and things like that.
And I know enough men who took, uh, drugs, on a regular basis …
Maybe it's the way women have been brought up to think about men — that they only want us for one thing (and, no, it isn't to bring them the remote control and a beer. Oh yeah, naked).
But you have to wonder why men trust women to be on top of the birth control thing — especially when almost all of us know women who have forgotten (honestly) and "forgotten" because they want their partner to commit — and a baby will do that, right? Sometimes. Or maybe they just want a baby even if he doesn't want kids?
Of course, birth control pills mess up a woman's mind about men, and maybe even "make" her cheat. Not to mention the men who are unknowingly raising kids that aren't biologically theirs.
Maybe neither gender is all that trustworthy.
- If you're a woman, would you trust a man to take a male birth control pill?
- Have you ever not taken birth control on purpose and didn't tell?
- If you're a guy, do you trust women who say they're on The Pill?
- Has that ever been a bad idea?
Bring on the comments
Lets assume a male birth control exists and STDs are not a concern.
Should men take at least equal responsibility for preventing unwanted pregnancy via a pill?
If a man says he is on the pill will he be sterile 100% of the time he has sex?
Mistakes happen. Lies do too.
Who gets stuck being pregnant despite the Shoulds being 100% true?
The woman.
That is the bottom line.
A woman can choose to depend on the "letter of the law" of the Should or she can make a more effective choice for avoiding getting.
Unfair? Of course.
Will this unfairness change? Not likely.
Will harping about a Should do anything other than making a person angry that thing aren't the way they ought to be?
Not likely.
I love my man but there is no way in hell I would trust him to take "the pill" every day. I don't even trust myself in taking the pill so I got an IUD (best thing on earth!!)
But to answer your questions…. No I wouldn't trust a guy, and Yes, I have "forgotten" to take my pill, but thankfully my plan didn't work and I was baby free.
I've had a vasectomy.
Does that count?
I love the pill – I only have a period once a year at a time of my choosing, and when I do it's 3 days, no cramps. Can't beat that! Plus it keeps my skin clear.
If they did come out with a pill for men, I'd want Jake to take it (a backup never hurts) but I'd never stop taking the pill myself because I think it's awesome.
I don't think it's a matter of trust necessarily, since no method is fullproof it makes sense to use them all. I have a friend who has been pregnant 5 times (2 children, 3 abortions) and she was on the pill every.single.time. She may have forgotten, though she never "forgot," (wow, she would've been a great candidate for an IUD like Jolene.
I must be sleeping with the other 24% of women. You have no idea how many women I meet who don't even think about protection. But I have no desire to father more kids, or get STDs.

I don't recall, has it ever been considered to compare the number of actual result rows against the estimate computed by the optimizer and then draw some conclusions from it? Both numbers should be easily available. Possible "conclusions" might be suggesting running analyze, suggesting tweaking "M" and "K", assigning an out-of-whack factor to the statistics (once it goes to infinity (or zero) you do one of the previous things), in some future life possibly automatically switching to an alternative statistics model. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e(at)gmx(dot)net http://funkturm.homeip.net/~peter

What does it mean to be a community? When disaster strikes, how does a community respond? What does it mean to see real-world consequences of digital actions? When one group's project was digitally vandalized just a day before it was due, a class of 6th graders demonstrated U Prep's commitment to community and social responsibility by jumping in to help rebuild.
As an interdisciplinary project in 6th grade, students explore the effects of damming (and releasing) the Elwha River on the Olympic Peninsula. Students choose to focus their research on a particular discipline such as Literature or Social Studies. In the Science track, led by 6th Grade Science teacher Quynh Tu, students build recreations of the Elwha River valley before, during and after the dam phase in Minecraft. Working with creations of the Elwha River basin pulled from satellite mapping data, students label the effects of the dam and removal on the geography and ecology of the basin. Using a school-run Minecraft server, customized with an educational version called MinecraftEDU, all of the teams create their models in distinct areas of one shared digital world.
The day before the projects were to be presented to their peers, one team logged in to find their work had been extensively vandalized (called "griefing" in gamer culture) using the same tools that students had been using to build their environmental models. Trees were burned, a dam destroyed, a valley was flooded, and the valleys were filled with creatures called Golems which had been created by the vandals. In addition to one group's models, the common loading area and instructions were destroyed as well.
The affected group took pictures of the damage, and reported it to Ms. Tu. When the class met for their last work session that day, Ms. Tu, Middle School Director Marianne Picha, and Director of Academic Technology Jeff Tillinghast asked the targeted group to describe what happened to the class. The students described how hard they had worked on the project, and how sad they were to see their work destroyed. They were obviously nervous about the deadline to present the next day, and weren't sure how they would be able to make the deadline.
Without any teacher prompting, the conversation evolved as the class began to brainstorm solutions. Could the server be restored from a backup? The server backed up daily, so the server could be restored to the last image before the project was vandalized. That would mean that all the group's work for the last day would be lost, though. The targeted group thought about that for a minute, and said that they didn't think it would be fair for all the groups to be penalized just to save their work. Can the deadline be moved? It might be possible, but with the entire 6th grade ready to present on Friday, and with camping trips and beach day coming up the next week, it would be very doubtful. Finally, one student suggested: Most of us are done and ready to present. Can we help them rebuild?
The class moved into action as everyone logged into the world and begun to build–some finishing their own projects, and others helping the targeted group clean up and rebuild their work. The three students who had originally built the world shifted into project management mode, deciding what could be delegated to others ("There were trees all along this stretch of the river," or "Drain out all the water,") and what they had to rebuild themselves (such as their original dam design). As other groups finished their work, they moved over to help the class-wide rebuild. The period ended and moved into lunch, and students ran out to get their food and brought it back to the classroom to continue working. Throughout the rest of the day, whenever students finished work in other classes, they returned to help out, and a large group continued working after school. Finally, by the time the afternoon ended, the project was rebuilt and all the groups were ready to present their work the next day.
The nature of Minecraft, being an open space in which all students build freely, presented a calculated risk that someone would abuse the project or another student's work. Responsible citizenship is a core value of the University Prep academic program, and these students demonstrated that value in action with their response as a class to this situation.

As you know, defensive tackle Justin Smith is scientifically proven to be indestructible.
At 32, the 11-year veteran has started 171 straight games and has never missed a contest due to injury. I think he could play effectively without pads while nursing a compound fracture.
But here's something you may not know: The rest of San Francisco's defense has been similarly impervious to injury in recent years.
It's something I discovered after reading this pre-free-agency article from Grantland, where it was noted that the 49ers' defense, their biggest strength, was remarkably injury-free in 2011: "While the San Francisco defense was fantastic last year, they were lucky to have their 11 defensive starters combine to miss just eight games."
I reflexively agreed. Wow. Only eight games? That won't happen again, right? It sounded like the Niners' remarkable +28 turnover differential, a stat that almost certainly can't be duplicated in 2012.
On further review, however, San Francisco's injury-free 2011 season wasn't lucky. It was the continuation of a trend.
In 2010, the 49ers' defensive starters missed two games due to injury. In 2009, they missed 11. In 2008, they missed three games.
Yes, Justin Smith isn't the defense's only iron man. Nose guard Isaac Sopoaga, for example, has missed two games since 2005. Linebacker Parys Harlson has started 56 of the Niners' past 57 games. Safety Dashon Goldson has started 46 of 48 games since 2009 and linebacker Patrick Willis started 75 of his first 76 career games prior to last year's hamstring injury.
What does this mean? For starters, trainer Jeff Ferguson and strength and conditioning coach Mark Uyeyama probably deserve a raise, a Rolex and a Caribbean cruise. And then there's this: Don't expect that same turnover differential in 2012, but it's reasonable to expect one of the league's most dominant defenses to remain among its most durable.

Magic Is the Simplest Thing is the 20th chapter of Eragon.
Summary Edit
As they ride, Brom teaches Eragon how to use magic. Apparently, magic takes up energy. All Riders could use magic. He also teaches him a few words in the Ancient Language. They track the Ra'zac up the Ninor River, while Saphira flies overhead. Brom also foreshadows The Word when he answers Eragon's question "Does this language have a name?" by saying "If there was such a word, it would be a word of great power."

'Admission' Trailer: Tina Fey and Paul Rudd Together at Last
- By
- 8 Comments
Paul Rudd and Tina Fey have both made their acting careers playing socially inept yet charismatic people. Whether it's Rudd's painfully awkward Peter Klaven in I Love You, Man or Fey's long-suffering head writer Liz Lemon on NBC's 30 Rock, the pair has perfected a particular brand of comedy that a certain audience can't help but love. So the fact that Rudd and Fey are teaming up for the upcoming comedy Admission is less of a random happenstance, more of an inevitability.
The film – directed by About a Boy helmer Paul Weitz – stars Fey as Portia Nathan, a university admissions officer whose world is turned upside down when college friend John Halsey (Rudd) introduces her to a student (Nat Wolff) who may or may not end up being her son. Michael Sheen, Lily Tomlin, Wallace Shawn and Gloria Reuben co-star.
Thanks to Yahoo! Movies, we now have a look at the film's first trailer. Although the footage appears to reveal a bit too much about the film's story beats, Admission looks like it will feature an even mix of heart and laughs and, most importantly, play to the strengths of its two stars. Rudd has been racking up quite the list of hits in recent years, with films like Knocked Up, Role Models and the upcoming This Is 40, but Admission could provide something of a crossroads for Fey's future at the movies.
The actress is currently midway through the final season of 30 Rock and has really only headlined two films thus far, those being Baby Mama and Date Night. However, Admission will be her first starring role without the safety net of her day job waiting to catch her in the case of a box office disaster. This is not to imply that Fey is incapable of establishing herself as a bonafide movie star. In fact, she has already proven that she's one of the sharpest, funniest women working today. The question here is whether or not moviegoers will embrace her in the same way as the small but rabid 30 Rock fanbase.
So, does the Admission trailer make you "want to go to there," as Liz Lemon herself would say, Screen Rant readers? Sound off in the comments section.
Admission hits theaters on March 8, 2013.

Search for gravitational-wave bursts in LIGO data from the fourth science run
Abbott, B. and Abbott, R. and Adhikari, R. and Agresti, J. and Ajith, P. and Allen, B. and Amin, R. and Lockerbie, N.A. (2007) Search for gravitational-wave bursts in LIGO data from the fourth science run. Classical and Quantum Gravity, 24 (22). pp. 5343-5369. ISSN 0264-9381

The fourth science run of the LIGO and GEO 600 gravitational-wave detectors, carried out in early 2005, collected data with significantly lower noise than previous science runs. We report on a search for short-duration gravitational-wave bursts with arbitrary waveform in the 64-1600 Hz frequency range appearing in all three LIGO interferometers. Signal consistency tests, data quality cuts and auxiliary-channel vetoes are applied to reduce the rate of spurious triggers. No gravitational-wave signals are detected in 15.5 days of live observation time; we set a frequentist upper limit of 0.15 day-1 (at 90% confidence level) on the rate of bursts with large enough amplitudes to be detected reliably. The amplitude sensitivity of the search, characterized using Monte Carlo simulations, is several times better than that of previous searches. We also provide rough estimates of the distances at which representative supernova and binary black hole merger signals could be detected with 50% efficiency by this analysis.

The relation to XBL is that XBL has a template element and inside it you can "bind" attributes and content to the host element's attributes and content. We feel that the same concept can be useful outside of XBL and that we would like to provide a more generic solution that something like XBL can then reuse. > - "Child nodes are not considered to be a part of the DOM.

What if the template is already > in DOM when the new child elements are added. > It sounds *very* strange to add new special cases to DOM Core > methods. I feel like the document reflects too much what we ended up doing in the prototype. Lets backup and look at the problems we are trying to fix here. 1. We want <template> to be able to contain arbitrary content that is used as the content of the instances that are created from it. Now assume that the template element contains some active content such as <audio autoplay>, script or simply just an image. We don't want the audio to start playing, we don't want the script to run inside the template element and we don't want the image to be requested at this point. 2. We also want to allow place holders to make it easier to write your templates. Before the template content has been instantiated the content is incomplete or invalid. For example img@src might contain a place holder: <template iterate>  </template> It is important that we don't try to request "{{data.src}}.png". 3. The last issue we are trying to provide a solution too is with DOM access, specifically with getElementById, querySelector etc. It is highly unlikely that the user wants to get to the content inside the template element. What they usually want is to get access to the template instance. For example:
 <template instantiate>
{{ data }}
 </template>
 ...  In the prototype we got around most of these issues by just moving the content DOM out of the template element. An alternative solution would be to treat <template> more like

Toyota Racing Development, provider of engines for the Toyotas of Michael Waltrip Racing, Robby Gordon Motorsports, and Red Bull Racing, has decided to revert back to the oil pump used on TRD engines last year, and will continue the modifications used in the Shelby 427 last week at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
In the last two weeks, TRD had to replace six engines due to lifter or camshaft issues [1]. Lee White, TRD president, believes the issue has to do with oil pressure when the cars are in low-RPM situations.
It is also believed that the better tire at LVMS increased lap speeds by three-quarters of a second, which may have led to more strain on the engines.
TRD has switched to a more aggressive camshaft that uses a lighter weight oil.

If you're looking for a writer to help you with your content writing needs, you're in the right place.
My name is Terri Cruce, I'm a freelance writer, and I can help you build a better, stronger, more audience-engaged business.
If you run an online business, you know that blogging and content writing are critical for getting in front of your audience with the right message.
There's only one problem. You don't like to write.
Or maybe you love to write, but lack the time to do it as efficiently as you'd like.
You do know you haven't been getting the results you're looking for with your written content.
The truth is writing is not everyone's cup of tea. And even if you're pretty good at it when you can devote the time, time is the one thing you lack most.
Are any of these scenarios familiar to you?
"I know I need to write regular blog posts for my website, but I hate writing, and I'm never happy with the lack of results."
"I don't post blog content nearly enough because it takes so much of my time."
"I hate writing!"
"My blog gets updated on a hit-or-miss basis, depending on my mood, my time, and my level of interest or inspiration."
"I can't think of anything to write about."
"I don't think my writing is good enough for me to get the results I'm looking for."
"I know my content is missing something when I write, but I don't know what it is."
I Can Help You
You know your business requires you to be able to reach your target audience, and well-written content published on a regular basis is the best way to do it.
And not just any content, but content that sizzles, that raises awareness of your brand and excites interest.
And when you lack either the time, desire or capability to produce quality written content, it can be almost impossible to do.
And I know how frustrating that can be.
Hire Me To Write For You
I've been writing for over 30 years. I started in corporate America, as a tech writer for the financial, medical and insurance industries. I've written as part of a corporate writing team and individually, both on the job and for my blog sites.

I've been writing for my online fitness business for the past five years, on every topic from best exercise to do when you're just starting out to how to eat healthy without wanting to shoot yourself.
Recently, I've written for clients in the fitness, life coaching, and cosmetics fields.
I know how to write engaging copy that will connect with your target audience, increase your SEO ratings and be easy to read visually so your readers won't feel like they're drowning in a sea of words.
I love to write. It's my passion. It's been the task I always wanted to do most, in any job I've ever had.
You Focus On What You Do Best
And since writing is what I do, I can produce your content while you concentrate on other tasks that only you do well for your business.
Whether it's shorter blog posts or longer articles requiring research and interviews, I can do it. And do it well. Allowing you to focus elsewhere in your business.
I will research your topic, gather all the right facts and interesting points, and put it together for you. I can even do it in your voice.
And we both win because we both get to focus what we love doing most.
When you love what you do, you tend to do it with a passion that shines through. And that's why I started my freelance writing business.
Because writing is my passion,

Three Artists Featured at Carrie Haddad Photography
August 19 - September 26
An exhibition of works by three artist/photographers, Kim McLean, Lionel Gilbert & Harry Wilks, opens this Thursday at Carrie Haddad Photography.
Kim McLean's layered images,such as Ume Enters the City, above, capture virtual worlds filled with incongruity—a battleship in a tempestuous sea of illegibly tiny text; a Russian Constructivist design for a Palace of Labor set amidst a dreamscape of lattices and Ferris wheels. Using architectural software and a process he calls "mapping," the artist covers icons of cultural and historical significance with surfaces that are in stark contrast to the forms beneath.
Lionel Gilbert, born in 1912, was a prolific painter from the nineteen-thirties until his recent death. The works on display here call to mind Matisse, Braque, and Leger in their cubist sensibility and handling of space. In Suggested Figures, a collage-like mass evokes the human figure, broken down, refracted. Although this painting is thick with the legacy of progressive artists from times past, it subverts the rules by which these artists worked. Gilbert's work exhibits a refreshing frivolity.
Harry Wilks has been hauling his cameras up to New York City rooftops for 25 years. From this vantage point, he has created an urban fantasyland which diverges from observable reality. In his rooftop photographs, he reveals an urban landscape that people wouldn't ordinarily see on their own. Complementing his passion for architecture is an ongoing project photographing the Hudson Valley. Wilks' photographs are included in museum, corporate and private collections.

MLS has unveiled what is likely the most talented roster yet for the MLS Homegrown game.
Jesse Gonzalez, Andrew Carleton and Tyler Adams headline the MLS roster to take onthe Chivas de Guadalajara Under-20 Team in the fourth annual MLS Homegrown Game, which is set for Aug. 1 at Toyota Park.

The 2016 MLS season kicked off with a bang on Sunday, as all 20 teams combined to produce plenty of goals to shake things up in the season's opening week.
In Portland, the reigning MLS Cup champion Timbers made a statement by winning a title game rematch against the Columbus Crew.
The poster child for Women's Soccer broke a 0-0 stoppage time tie.
Here's a recap of last night's game from NBC Sports, and another from The Blue Testament for those who enjoy causing themselves extreme mental anguish.
Don't forget that there are many ways to get to games; car, bike, walk, ferry, light rail, streetcar, and the Sounder train.
Evaluating players is a messy thing. With MLS's first Free Agency class nowavailable for purchase and MLS's yearly Re-EntryRound 2 Draft beginningtomorrow (Thursday, 12/17), itisworth looking at who's available...and who's worth being available.
I'musing the same data I've usedpreviously to look at player performance: The OPTA-based Squawkarating system and MLS Player Salary information.
Major League Soccer finally has free agency, at least in some form, and the first players to benefit from the new free agent designation were identified on Monday, with Mike Magee, Ricardo Clark and Ned Grabavoy among the more intriguing options for teams looking to sign veteran players who have no ties to their former teams.
Just when it looked like Bruce Arena's star-studded second-half subs were going toput the LA Galaxy through to the U.S. Open Cup final, FC Dallas conjureda response. Then seconds away from the uncertainty of penalties, Dallas came up with another goalto decide Wednesday night's U.S. Open Cup semifinalon its own.

On a night that saw goals from LA Galaxy stalwarts Gyasi Zardes and Robbie Keane, it was a centerback who earned the most praise from his teammates in the locker room afterward.
Jelle Van Damme had a hand in two of the Galaxy's three goals against the San Jose Earthquakes, winning a header to assist the first and launching the long ball that sprung the second.

CARSON, California — Mike Magee had to agree, you couldn't write a better script for his return to LA. The Galaxy fan favorite entered the team's home opener at the half after Giovani Dos Santos was held out "for precautionary measures." When he left the field 45 minutes later, the Galaxy crowd, 25,000 strong, was chanting: "Magee, Magee, Magee is on fire!
On a team full of star names and talents, a tried-and-true MLS veteran was the one who impressed all on opening day.
After coming off the bench at halftime, Mike Magee stole the show by scoring twice and assisting once to lead the LA Galaxy to a 4-1 comeback victory at home against D.
Los Angeles Galaxy launched their new Major League Soccer season with a 4-1 victory over DC United on Sunday inspired by two of the star-studded outfit's lesser lights.
The Galaxy, whose starting line-up featured former Premier League stalwarts Steven Gerrard, Ashley Cole, Nigel de Jong and Robbie Keane, had looked in danger of suffering a shock loss after United took the lead through Lamar Neagle on five minutes.
CARSON, California— In the first half, the LA Galaxy just looked old. In the second half, they called up some old Galaxy magic in the form of newly-re-signed fan favorite Mike Magee, and ran past visiting D.C. United, 4-1, before 25,667 on a cold breezy night in Los Angeles.
Magee was subbed on at the half for ineffective Giovani Dos Santos, who picked up minor injury, and needed only twenty minutes on the pitch to remind the Galaxy crowd why they loved him.

A team with threechampionships in the last five years isn't the most likely candidate to undergo a massive overhaul to their roster. But after losing eight of their last nine to close out the 2015 season, including an ugly defeatin the rain in Seattle to end the season, the LA Galaxy have done just that.
LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena has a well-earned reputation for revitalizing veteran talent, one which was bolstered as Mike Magee transformed from role player to all-star during his four-plus seasons in Casron, Calif. Now, two-and-a-half years after Magee departed Los Angeles, and two years after he claimed an unlikely league Most Valuable Player award, the 31-year-old is returning to StubHub Center.

After spending almost two-plusseasons with the Chicago Fire, Mike Magee is returning to California.
The LA Galaxy announced the signing of free agent Magee on Thursday, confirming earlier reports.The 13-year MLS veteran spent 2009 to 2013 with the Galaxy, winning two MLS Cup titles.

Mike Magee looks ready to leave his hometown for the place where he enjoyed the most successful stint of his career.
Magee is set to make a return to the LA Galaxy, according to a report from ChicagoNow.com. The 31-year-old free agent forward was reportedly drawing interest from Sporting Kansas City, the Vancouver Whitecaps, and Chicago Fire, buthas chosen to reunite with Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena in Los Angeles.

The ongoing rebuilding of the Chicago Fire took another step on Monday, and several of those on their way out of Toyota Park will be eligible for MLS' new form of free agency.
Now firmly into the 2016 offseason, the Fire made several roster moves on Monday, including the announcement of the departures of Mike Magee, Jon Busch, Jeff Larentowicz and Ty Harden.
D.C. United takes on the Chicago Fire tonight, and Sean Spence has all the answers you want.

Fire Lose, but Red Stars and Fire Academy top out the Weekend with Victories
The Fire lost to Real Salt Lake in the Fire's lone meeting with this Western Conference opponent.
On the positive side, Section 8 was loud yesterday and the Chicago Red Stars were greeted with open arms by Section 8 supporters as well as their own supporters, Chicago Local 134.
Planning for the 2016 season begins, as 86 players look for new homes next season.
The MLS offseason has officially begun today, as the league has released the list of players who are either eligible for the Re-Entry Drafts or who are outright free agents.
This is the first offseason with free agency — a change added to the Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiated just before the 2015 season began.

It seems fairly clear to me at this point that, his statements to the
contrary notwithstanding, Marko wishes not to improve the Sudbury model,
but rather to adopt something entirely different. That's fine for him, but
I wish to make one more attempt to clarify the basic incompatibility of his
ideas with the Sudbury model.
School-sanctioned psychotherapy and forced consensus do *not* fall within
the model. Sudbury believes in individuals' right to their own thoughts and
opinions: conflict resolution via psychologizing, and decision-making via
unanimity, violate this foundation. Others have pointed out that there is,
indeed, room within the model for therapeutic action, and there is in fact
a great deal of consensus-building. But Marko wishes to institionalize
these things, which strikes me as quite odd as he finds the existing
structures of Sudbury so formal, external and coercive.
I find Sudbury far less external and coercive than Marko's theoretical
model because, in the Sudbury model, each individual's privacy and the
integrity of their opinions are respected, and because the process is
clear, consistent and impersonal. A system with informal "guidelines"
rather than rules, forced unanimity on every decision, and problem-solving
through revealing and discussing one's feelings is, imho, *much* more
arbitrary and coercive.
In sum, there are things about the model which are formal and
institutional, and things which are not, and it appears to me that Marko
wishes to switch the two. Again, this is not a matter of improving the
model, but rather creating a new one.
We're talking apples and oranges here, and for my part, I don't want no
genetic engineering to attempt some crazy hybrid!
p.s. In what possibly way is the following an improvement on SM?? Does
Marko think SM is not formal or long enough? Is it so frightful that people
could actually disagree with a majority decision? Do people not get to talk
enough at SM? Come on!...
<<I was wondering about an alternative way of meeting. It
could go e.g. followingly:
1) introduction for the issue being discussed about
2) round of discussion so that everybody willing to speak would
announce themselves and everybody would get to say what they wanted to
3) round of suggestions for the problem so that everybody having one
would announce themselves and everybody would get to say their
4) discussion in pairs for (e.g.) 2 minutes about the suggestions
5) vote for the suggestions
6) if there wasn't an agreement, would go back to 2)
7) repeat until unanimous decision reached>>

Fox cancels 'The Mindy Project'
However, online video service Hulu could pick up the show for another two seasons, and there's a second book on the way too
Mindy Kaling's TV series, The Mindy Project, has been cancelled by Fox after running for three seasons and a total of 67 episodes, the last of which aired on 24 March 2015.
However, fans may rejoice in the possibility of the show being picked up by Hulu, an online video service owned by NBC Universal, which distributes The Mindy Project. E! News reports that Hulu and NBC Universal are in talks to prolong the series for at least another season.
Hulu already has streaming rights for The Mindy Project, and a source that spoke to The Guardian said that it is a top performer on the website, which makes it a likely new home for Mindy's show.
While that works itself out, the actress has a new project to look forward to. She announced earlier this week that her new book Why Not Me? will be out on 29 September, and also hinted that she spills some celebrity secrets in the book.
"I hope that was a good idea!" Mindy told People.
It's coming, guys. 9/29/15 #whynotme #newbook http://t.co/A5TAIYpSuA pic.twitter.com/EDdFXPNYMy

|Only problem with a mountain bike is that you've likely got knobbly tires on it, and they don't work well with turbo trainers. I use a mountain bike on mine, but it's got a trainer tyre on it and you don't really want to be swapping it in and out if your bike gets regular outside use.

Saha Knows How To Avoid Injuries
Louis Saha wows to always give one hunder per cent effort to our cause, that's his priority, not avoiding injuries.
The infamously injury-prone French striker returned from a long absence on Saturday, scoring the only goal in our 1-0 win over Sunderland. Sir Alex Ferguson hailed his impact and claimed we missed him. Saha himself remains determined to finally have a really good season.
'I know exactly how not to get injured,' SkySports quotes him.
'All I have to do is play without full commitment. But I won't do it, I can't do it.
'United players have to play at 100 per cent, so if things like this happen to me, it is just because of the game.
'Now I have an amazing chance to try and get fitter over the next two weeks because before this, I only played in a couple of training games.'
Fortunately, he's not been included (sensibly) in France's squad for the qualifiers against Scotland and Italy - that's a blessing as he picked up so many injuries playing for Les Bleus.
He will be a big asset if he remains fit. I still trust Saha, he's the main reason I wasn't among those who screamed out for another striker. Hopefully he'll finally prove me right.

Devil's Lake was originally a gorge of the Wisconsin River prior to the last glacial period which ended around 12,500 years ago. The river, which ran southward before the last ice age, was diverted to an easterly direction. A section of the glacier moved east of the Baraboo hills, came up the river valley, deposited the debris that it had accumulated and melted. This debris, or terminal moraine, blocked the river on the east. Another moraine settled on the northern end of the valley, thereby blocking both ends of the gorge. The river found a new course east of the Baraboo Hills where it resides today. Between the two blocked sections of the river, a large lake was formed. Today it is fed by a small creek and natural springs.
The Ho-Chunk Nation has held celebrations at the lake for many generations. They named the lake "Da-wa-kah-char-gra" which means "Spirit Lake". Early settlers renamed it "Devil's Lake".
Pewit's Nest
Located near Baraboo, Pewit's Nest is a dramatic, rocky gorge through which flows Skillet Creek.
The Natural Bridge State park is located near Leland, on Co. Hwy C. It is at the edge of the Baraboo Range in an unglaciated Driftless Area and located only 12 miles from the edge of where the last glacier melted some 12,000 years ago. Outcrops of sandstone, which were deposited 1.6 million years ago, jut out of tops of nearby hills. The bridge and rock shelter have been weathered out of one of the outcroppings over thousands of years. The top of the arch is 35 feet above ground. The opening is 25 feet wide and 15 feet high. The rock shelter is 60 feet wide and 30 feet deep. An archaeological excavation of the rock shelter was conducted in 1957 by the Wisconsin Historical Society, and discoveries were made indicating that Paleo-Indians inhabited the site 10,000 years ago, making it one of the oldest human occupied sites in northeastern North America. Evidence of fire pits, mollusk species and animal bones were uncovered during the exploration. Since 1870, the natural bridge has been on a list of things to see by tourists. In 1972, a state park was established, encompassing 60 acres surrounding the bridge.
Van Hise Rock
Van Hise Rock is located on State Highway 136 near Rock Springs. It is the remnant of a mountain range that may have risen 1000 to 1600 feet above the surrounding terrain. This monolith is the remnant of that mountain chain and stands nearly 14 feet high and 6 feet wide. Its significance lies in the fact that it is composed of two distinct vertical layers, pink quartzite and phyllitic (a red rock similar to slate, having a wavy surface) quartzite. Van Hise Rock was named for the pre-eminent 19th century geologist Charles Richard Van Hise. His understanding of area geology led to an interpretation of the structural Precambrian rocks in Wisconsin. Van Hise Rock serves as a hands-on field laboratory for geology students who are still brought to the site as part of their studies. The Rock was declared a national historic landmark in 1999.

Security and political risks have the potential to upset the global economic status quo.
However, the likeliness of these risks, as well as the degree to which they can shake things up, varies greatly.
Taking that into account, the Economist Intelligence Unit put together a list of the top five "risk scenarios" that "might substantially change the business operating environment over the coming two years."
Scenarios were ranked according to their "risk intensity score" — or the product of the probability of the risk occurring and the impact of that risk. The highest possible score is 25.
Check out the five most intense below.

Law Students > Job Search
lacking confidence
(1/3) > >>
I'm a very lucky recent law school graduate, who, despite terrible grades in law school and having not even taken the Bar exam yet, managed to get a dream job in the exact niche of law I always wanted to practice in. The law firm is small, relatively new, and I'm the only legal intern. I take the bar in July and the firm even paid for a review course for me. I love the people I work for, but I'm constantly in fear. I have so much anxiety and lack of confidence because I feel like I must have gotten this job by pure luck or some kind of cosmic mistake. They are well-known and highly respected within our area for being the best at this particular niche of law. They are always having law students and recent grads offering to work for them for free even (just for the experience). I'm not sure why they hired me or why they've kept me for almost a year now. Is it possible they just don't have the heart to fire me? They say I do good or even great work, but that I'm slow and I don't take enough initiative to anticipate what they need before they ask for it.
I want to take more initiative, but I'm paralized with apprehension and lack of confidence. Is this normal? Does anyone else feel extremely stressed out about not living up to their employer's expectations? or do I just need therapy or something?
how can they be well know if they are new? ???
Well known by name, not by firm. Lawyers in this area change firms all the time. I mean, as far as I've seen, lawyers get reputations that travel with them, regardless of what firm they work for (especially in specialized areas of law).
I imagine everybody is scared I know I have been at any job I had when I started out. I think if they are paying you money then they will let you know if your not doing a good job. If you were an unpaid intern then maybe they are being nice, but considering they have given you money to take the bar and apparently are paying you a salary you must be doing a good job. No employer likes to waste money in any industry on someone that's not getting it done and a law firm in particular Iwill let you know your doing a bad job by laying you off/firing you.
Thanks. I guess you're right. It is a business after all.

Niagara Oscar winner made Superman fly
Colin Chilvers of Crystal Beach, special effects legend and film director, with his 1979 Special Achievement Oscar he won for his work on Superman the Movie. Photo by Grant LaFleche.
In a way, Colin Chilvers owes his Oscar-winning film career to a pipe that wouldn't explode.
A decade before the Crystal Beach resident made the world believe a man could fly, Chilvers was part of the special effects team working on the 1968 film Inspector Clouseau — a lesser known Pink Panther movie staring Alan Arkin instead of Peter Sellers as the bumbling police detective — and things were not going well.
Arkin's Clouseau was supposed to light the pipe of his boss, played by Shakespearean actor Frank Finlay. The gag was that Clouseau's lighter was actually a James Bond-esque laser weapon, which was supposed to slice the pipe in half while in Finlay's mouth.
"It never worked. Not once," Chilvers said Sunday.
Unhappy film executives gave the crew one last chance to make the scene work. One of the movie honchos asked Chilvers, then a young man from England just starting his career, why he thought the gag wasn't working.
"I explained what I would do, and then I was told they were going to give the other guy (the effects supervisor) another chance. If it didn't work, they would try my idea," Chilvers said. "So I stayed up all night rigging a pipe."
The supervisor's plan failed twice more the next day and Chilvers got his chance.
His pipe, sawed in half and tacked back together with wax, was rigged with a small fuse and a battery. All Finlay had to do was bite down and the fuse would burst, melting the wax, making the pipe fall apart.
"You can imagine, my hands were shaking," Chilvers said. "There I was, a kid telling this world famous, Shakespearean actor how to bite down on a pipe to make it explode."
The effect worked. Within hours the special effects supervisor was fired and Chilvers was named as his replacement.
Within a decade, Chilvers faced a much more difficult task as the special effects supervisor on Superman: The Movie.
For the film to work, Christopher Reeve's Superman had to appear to actually fly. In an age before digital effects, past attempts to make a live action Superman, including the George Reeves TV show, were unable to do it well.
"In fact, when I first got the script for Superman, I thought 'How in the hell are we going to make this work?'" Chilvers said.
Details that seemed unimportant at first required some clever problem solving to make the effect as convincing as possible.
"Take the cape. You couldn't just put Chris on wires in front of a wind machine because the cape doesn't flutter. The wind actually made it wrap around him," Chilvers said.
Chilvers and his team invented a method of using wires attached to the cape's hem that, when combined with the wind, make it appear to flutter.
(The effect was so successful that Chilver's nephew Neil Corbould would use a version of it while working as the special effects supervisor for Superman Returns in 2006. His other nephew, Chris Corbould, is also a successful effects supervisor, who worked on Star Wars: The Force Awakens.)
Chilvers and his team pulled the effects off so well, that Chilvers won a Special Achievement Academy Award in 1979 for Superman.
Along with earning him the Oscar and pushing his career in new directions, Superman also brought Chilvers to Niagara.
Parts of Superman II were shot in Niagara Falls . During filming Chilvers met a Niagara Parks Police officer named Colleen, who he eventually married. The couple have lived in Niagara ever since.
Chilvers — who was the special guest at the Niagara Integrated Film Festival's Oscar party in St. Catharines Sunday night — also worked on Superman III, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, X-Men and K-19: The Widow Maker.
He also directed the Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal music video as part of the movie Moonwalker.
Winning the Oscar opened career doors for him, Chilvers said, although sometimes he didn't recognize opportunity when it came knocking.
"My agent once came to me and asked if I would be interested in working on this weird movie about the Nazis finding the Ark of the Covenant," Chilvers said. "I passed on it and, of course, Raiders of the Lost Ark ended up winning an Academy Award."
Chilvers, who at the age of 70 continues to make independent films, said he regards Smooth Criminal as his best work because it combined his special effects savvy with being a director and working closely with Jackson.
But his eyes get misty when he talks about filming the famous Niagara Falls scene in Superman II.
Most people who put on the Superman costume end up looking ridiculous. ("You're wearing red underpants over blue tights," Chilvers said.) But Reeve didn't look silly.
He looked like Superman.
"In the suit, he really believed he was Superman," he said. "Our first scene in Niagara Falls was the part where Superman flies into the air to rescue the kid, and there were 300 or 400 people watching behind the barricades."
Chilvers said Reeve was put into a very uncomfortable rig that would pull him into the air for the scene.
"The moment the scene started, and Chris took off, he wasn't an actor in tights and a rigging. He was Superman," Chilvers said. "Everyone watching started cheering the moment he took off and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. It was amazing. He could really fly."

While having dinner with the family during their Thailand vacation, Brody Jenner teases Khloe Kardashian about finding her a man at the Thai fighting match he is going to later that evening with Bruce Jenner and Brandon Jenner.
But the conversation takes a more serious turn when Brandon asks his stepsister if she's spoken to her ex, Lamar Odom.
"Can't find him," Khloé responds matter-of-factly.
"He went back to New York, and then ever since he's been there he's been missing," she says with a heavy voice.
The KUWTK star then opens up further by admitting, "Lamar stuff will weigh on me for the rest of my life. The marriage didn't work out not because of me, it wasn't what I wanted. So for the rest of my life I'm going to deal with that, worry about him, think about him and want just to protect him."

PSG to boycott TV channel over Ibra ban
Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will boycott TV channel Canal Plus until the end of the season as their coverage of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's rant last month played a big part in the Swede's four-game ban
Paris: Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will boycott TV channel Canal Plus until the end of the season as their coverage of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's rant last month played a big part in the Swede's four-game ban.
The Swedish striker was handed the suspension for his foul-mouthed outburst after his sending off against Bordeaux in the first division league's 29th round on March 15, reports Xinhua.
"In 15 years, I have never seen such a referee. In this shit country..." said the Swede while walking towards the changing rooms following his side's 3-2 defeat to Bordeaux.
"The country does not deserve the PSG. We are too good for them," said the 33-year-old who lost his temper after scoring two goals but not able to save his side from losing.
His rant against France was heard and captured in footage by TV channel Canal Plus. The clip was posted online and soon went viral.
Ibrahimovic later issued an apology through the PSG's website, insisting he wasn't speaking about the nation as a whole.
With the four-match ban, he will miss PSG's Ligue 1 games against Nice, Lille, Metz and Nante, as well as the Champions League quarter-final first leg hosting Barcelona after having seen red in his last CL outing at Chelsea.
Ibrahimovic, however, will be able to play against Bastia in Saturday's League Cup Final.
Following the ban, the French champions have announced they won't speak to Canal+ until May 30.
"Club directors have made the decision to not longer make public declarations near journalists or in front of cameras of the group Canal+ until Saturday, May 30," said the club in a statement.
"Heavily sanctioned, PSG, which is one of the most publicised clubs and one that generates the strongest television audiences, does not want to take the risk of exposing itself to new sanctions related to unhappy comments provoked by an arbitrary, contestable decision."
Marseille have announced a similar boycott after Canal Plus camera footage played a big part in Dmitri Payet's two-game ban.

The Roman Empire / Римская империя
The Roman Empire had a huge task in front of them while it was first starting out and while it was becoming a dominant dynasty in the early civilizations. The main problem that the book «Discovering the Global Past» points out is how the Roman Empire found itself growing a little too quickly. The Roman Empire started out very small on the Tiber River and grew abruptly without warning. Before they knew it, they were not a small power but now one with a great number of people with a great number of cultures intertwined within the Roman Empire. They were now spread over an immense portion of land with much power coming with it. The question now is how they are going to be able to handle all of this power and continue to dominate the world without any blueprints to help them out from previous dynasties because it had never been done before. We now have some evidence to help understand this and to show how it did happen. So courtesy of the «Discovering the Global Past» they have seven pieces of evidence that will help prove that the Roman Empire could handle the challenge of taking on the mastery of world power.
