By Dr. Dan Meakin
It is thought that 30 percent to 50 percent of dogs and cats carry parasites and that 1 to 3 million people in the U.S. have infections from parasites carried by pets.
Children, the elderly, and immunocompromised (cancer patients, organ transplant recipients) people are at high risk.
Hookworms and roundworms can be harbored by your pet and transmitted to children. In some cases, these parasites can cause blindness in humans.
Pets get infected with hookworms and roundworms by walking in places where other infected pets have defecated. The microscopic roundworm eggs and hookworm larvae end up on your pet's feet.
Your pet then licks his feet and infects himself with these parasites. Three weeks later, your pet will be shedding hookworm eggs and larvae from his GI tract. As the infected pet has contact with your child, parasites are transmitted to the child.
Pets can get ticks that spread Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and other diseases if the ticks detach from the pet and attach themselves to your child. This could be a risk factor for your children if the family pet sleeps in their bed.
By swallowing a flea infected with a tapeworm larvae while grooming, your pet can contract tapeworms. Pets get infected with hookworms and tapeworms by hunting prey. Even if your pet lives indoors, the ingestion of one house mouse can expose your pet to GI parasites.
How can you prevent the risk of spreading parasites to your children? Prevention of internal parasites is preferred over treatment because it reduces the risk of infectious disease being transmitted from pets, is less expensive and more convenient, and is obviously much better for the pet.
Give your dog heartworm preventative once per month, all year long. This affordable medication helps to prevent hookworms and roundworms in your dog as well as being a heartworm preventative.
Keep your dog on a safe, veterinary approved flea and tick preventative to protect against flea and tick infestation.
Scoop the yard where your dog defecates at least weekly; ideally daily, as worm eggs and larvae are found in stool and can contaminate the environment.
Bring a stool sample from your pet to your veterinarian at least once per year. You do not have to bring your pet into the vet's office for this. The stool should be fresh and in most cases can be dropped off at your convenience for the veterinary staff to analyze.
Keep your cat on Revolution once per month, all year. This medication eliminates hookworms that could potentially be spread to humans in the household. It also kills fleas, which can be culprits in the spread of cat scratch disease and tapeworm.
Don't let small children play in uncovered sandboxes that might be used as litter boxes by neighborhood cats, and teach your children to wash their hands before eating, especially if they have recently handled their pet.
Watch your pet for signs of internal parasite infection. Parasites can be observed in pet's feces or in bedding, among other places.
Usually, internal parasite infections are marked by decrease in appetite, bloody stools, diarrhea and a decrease in activity level. Many internal parasite infections do not show any symptoms, so regular veterinarian visits are important.

Days after pleading guilty to charges of domestic assault, senior Blue Raiders receiver Eldred King was suspended for the season Tuesday by Middle Tennessee Head Football Coach Rick Stockstill.
"Eldred made a choice that let his teammates, coaches, and University down," said Stockstill. "This program has a set of core values that we must abide by on a daily basis. Discipline is not always dismissal from the team, it is trying to educate and correct behavior.
As junior, King, 21, shared the team lead in 2008 with 51 receptions for 598 yards and four touchdowns. He has a redshirt year available,
King, according to police reports, has been arrested three times since March 1 and twice pleaded guilty to misdemeanor domestic assault. He was sentenced Thursday to 14 days in jail, a year of probation and eight weeks in an anger management program.
He also was ordered to pay the medical and dental expenses of the unidentified female victim in both domestic assaults, according to Rutherford County officials.
Stockstill left the door open to a possible return in 2010.
"Eldred has been excellent in the classroom and on the field and hopefully will learn from his mistakes," he said. "I have set guidelines for him to follow and if he adheres to them he will be able to play his senior season."

The 44-year-old man was picked up on the main street of Port Augusta on Wednesday night after two women made allegations of a double rape.
The women, who are related to each other and are believed to have known the suspect before the attack, say that he abducted them and held them for two days last weekend.
Wayne Jenkinson of Alice Springs police said that his DNA would be compared with fragments of genetic material found on the clothing of Joanne Lees, Mr Falconio's girlfriend, after the attack.
He had already been singled out as a "person of interest" to the police investigation and is believed to match the suspect's description. Up to 100 people are thought to be on the same list of "persons of interest".
The Northern Territory acting deputy commissioner, John Daulby, said: "As with other persons that have been brought to our attention in respect to the disappearance of Peter Falconio, this person is at this stage no more than a person of interest."
Despite the offer of a A$250,000 (£100,000) reward and the launch of one of the biggest manhunts in Australian history, all trails have so far gone cold in the hunt for the man who ambushed Mr Falconio and his girlfriend, Joanne Lees, last July at Barrow Creek, 200 miles north of Alice Springs.
He is thought to have shot Mr Falconio before tying up Ms Lees, who managed to escape by crawling through the back of the attacker's pick-up truck and hiding in the bush while he searched for her with a torch and hunting dog.
No one has yet been charged and several well-publicised arrests have turned out to be false leads. Ms Lees has since criticised the Northern Territory police's handling of the investigation on British television.
Last week's double rape is believed to have taken place in South Australia's Riverland region, close to the border with the neighbouring state of Victoria.
The man, who has no fixed address and has not been named, was being held in custody before appearing at Adelaide magistrates court yesterday.
He has been charged with two counts of rape and two of unlawful detention, as well as two further charges relating to his suspected possession of amphetamines and a pistol.

Euro dotcom top brass get 60% pay rise
To make up for the share options
The chief execs of dotcom businesses have received a nice fat 60 per cent pay rise in the last 12 months. The average pay packet is now £170,000.
According to a survey by IT recruitment group Futurestep, the dotcom top brass have also bagged twice the number of share options previously held. The huge pay increase and the extra shares are to make up for the collapsing value of their share options.
The size of the pay packet means the average dotcom exec earns just 10 per cent less than their old economy counterpart. And as a result of the high tech share crash there's basically no difference in the earnings between Net biz bosses and trad company execs.
The survey quizzed more than 2,000 senior dotcom executives in nine European countries and interestingly Britains net executives earn the most wonga. ®

Describes the Spine Center at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, a multidisciplinary unit that offers patients suffering from spinal problems "one-stop" access to a range of providers including orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, neurologists, medical specialists in physical medicine and pain management, mental health providers, and occupational and physical therapists. The Center was created to address what its founder, James Weinstein, M.D., saw as the uncoordinated and inefficient delivery of spinal care in the United States. The Center emphasized using non-surgical treatments (e.g., physical therapy and exercise, behavioral modification, pain-relieving drugs) as either a complement to, or substitute for, surgical procedures, and patients were actively engaged in the process of determining what type of care to pursue. In addition, Weinstein and his staff collected data from the Center's clinical practice to conduct academic research on the outcomes and cost-effectiveness of various approaches to treatment. The case allows for a critical analysis of the Spine Center's unique approach to care delivery and provides an opportunity to examine the applicability of this model in other clinical areas.
To illustrate the benefits of and challenges created by integrated models of health care delivery.

A summary of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's first executive budget has been released to the media and as expected, it includes deep cuts. The overall number is $132.9 billion.
General fund spending is reduced by $8.9 billion, including Medicaid and education aid cuts of $2.85 billion each. State agency operations are cut $1.4 billion. There's $340 million worth of new revenue and $805 million worth of one-shots.
Point of reference: Last year, the executive budget proposal was $134 billion (all funds), or $3.7 billion less than this year for a 2.3 percent decrease. The enacted budget last year was $133.8 billion.
Remember that there was a shortfall that former Gov. David Paterson asked the Legislature to deal with and it did not, leaving this year's budget more than $315 million out of balance. Paterson's proposed cuts included $55 million in reductions to Medicaid and $260 million in across-the-board cuts in state aid to local governments.
Like last year, NYC will receive zero local government aid from the state. Unlike other local governments the governor's office says NYC has a range of local revenue sources.
Some highlights:
– Just two new fees were proposed in Cuomo's budget bringing in $19.5 million: The fee for Statewide Central Registrar checks will go from $5 to $60 and there will be a surcharge on horse racing purses.
– The budget closes a loophole that exempts cooperative insurance companies from paying certain taxes. This is estimated to bring in $22 million.
– Extends the low income housing tax credit program.
– State worker layoffs not expected to exceed 9,800 with addition of attrition to achieve $ 550 million in savings.
– Creation of a task force to target prisons for closure.
Some proposed agency mergers:
– Correctional service and Parole into new department of corrections and community supervision.
– Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence, office of Victim Services and state Commission of Correction into DCJS.
– Banking and Insurance departments and a portion of the Consumer Protection Board into new department of financial regulation (estimated $200 million savings over two years).
– Foundation for Science, Technology and Innovation and Empire State Development Corp. merged into one uber-ESDC.
Budget proposes to cap annual increase in the STAR exemption benefits to two percent per year.

Three teenage inline hockey players will be travelling to Hawaii later this year after being selected to represent their country in the AAU junior olympics.
Max Ewing, Quinn Huffam and Colton Berner, all members of Ravens inline hockey club, will be strapping on their roller blades and competing in the under-14 New Zealand team this July.
But first the 13-year-olds - who have been playing hockey for a combined total of more than 20 years - each have to raise $6000 to finance their trip, which will see them spending a week playing against American club teams and then another week competing against teams from around the world.
Ewing said he started playing about six years ago because his uncle played and he thought it looked like a good time.
"I watched a few games of his which sort of got me started," he said.
"I like the speed aspect and being able to smash into people."
Huffam said he also enjoyed the contact aspects of the sport - especially in his role as the team's goalie.
"Forty-something people trial for the team and goalie is the most contested position," he said.
Huffam said he wasn't sure about the future of the sport in terms of a career because of its small following in New Zealand.
"I don't think you could do it as a job here, unless you move to ice," he said.
"The supporters are awesome but there's just not enough teams."
Colton Berner said he took up the sport because he was originally from Canada and it was easy to make the move from ice skates to roller blades.
"I just love the feeling when you score, especially during a big game," he said.
Max Ewing's mother, Sarah, said it was up to the boys and their families to raise the money themselves in order to take part in the event, which is run by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU), one of the largest, non-profit, volunteer sports organisations in the United States.
"It really puts it on them to be passionate about the sport," she said.
"They're going to have to shovel sheep poo and chop firewood for a few months to fund it I think."
Ewing said the club had held a raffle and would be running a movie night to help chip away at the figure.
Taranaki will also have representatives in teams for the Under 14 girls, Under 16 boys, Under 23 men's, and senior men's inline teams.

Tedy Bruschi
Biographical Information
Bruschi played high school football at Roseville High School in Roseville, California. He played college football at the University of Arizona as a defensive end, where he tied the NCAA Division I-A sack record with 52 quarterback sacks. He was taken by the Patriots in the 3rd round (25th pick) of the 1996 NFL draft.
Bruschi has a knack for intercepting passes and taking them to the end zone. In 2003, he had 3 picks, 2 of which went for touchdowns. As of 2006, in his career with New England, he has 829 tackles, 27 sacks, and 11 interceptions, 4 of which have gone for touchdowns. All of those touchdowns came on consecutive interceptions, a feat no other NFL player has yet to equal. Bruschi has become greatly popular with Patriots fans for his tenacious playing style and ability to seemingly make a key play whenever necessary for his team; 12 of his 27 sacks have come in the fourth quarter.
Bruschi had six tackles, a sack and an interception of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb to help the Patriots cement a 24-21 win in Super Bowl XXXIX, their third title in four years. He later made his first Pro Bowl the next week. A few days later, on February 16, 2005, Bruschi was taken to a hospital with symptoms including temporary numbness, blurred vision and headaches. Bruschi suffered a mild stroke. He had experienced a broken blood vessel in his head and suffered from partial paralysis that went away soon after admittance to Massachusetts General Hospital. After several months of rehabilitation, Bruschi announced that he would sit out the 2005 NFL season . On October 16, 2005, it was announced that Bruschi had been medically cleared to resume playing football and he rejoined the team on the practice field three days later. The Patriots officially activated him on October 29, and he played the following night against the Buffalo Bills. ESPN broadcast this game and had several features on Bruschi's return, including a calculation of hits for the first time on an ESPN NFL broadcast and many interviews during game play. Bruschi played in all but the final game against Miami and was ready to suit up for the first playoff game against Jacksonville. He was recently named the 2005 "NFL Comeback Player of the Year", an honor he shared with Carolina Panthers Wide Receiver Steve Smith.
Off the field, Tedy Bruschi is an accomplished saxophonist and has played with the Boston Pops. Tedy resides in North Attleborough, MA with his wife, Heidi, and his three sons Tedy Jr., Rex and Dante.

Essays are gaining importance as a way to judge potential, and essays largely have replaced personal interviews. Writing an email may be easy, but rewriting a serious college admissions essay is much more challenging. Rewrite your application essay as many times as you feel is needed, and have people that you trust read it. Essays as well as letters of recommendation should emphasize personal development, demonstrate intellectual curiosity, and show concern for the community.
The admissions essay topic should be something the applicant cares about, and which shows how you've helped others to enjoy greater success. The best essay topics are like a short story, with poignant details, in which the writer shows by example. There should be no grammar errors or punctuation mistakes in your college essay, and even if the college application says that the essay is optional, you should treat it as an admission requirement. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider Central Texas College course notes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

April 2015 - Adventure of the Seas to Caribbean - Southern
Excellent vacation! Comparing to the Oasis, the ship is smaller, but still large enough to not feel cooped up. It seemed much less crowded than the Oasis. This ship is older and feels a bit dated, but very clean. The food was awesome. We loved the itinerary and would love to visit St. Maarten again someday. The staff was top notch. Everyone very friendly and helpful.

Punjab Human Rights Committees panel holds policemen guilty of murder of a Muslim youth
Press Note.
[ Click here for full report ]
The three member panel constituted by Pun jab Human Rights Committee has held Special Task Force (STF) police men guilty of cold blooded murder of a Muslim youth Namim Khan in village Giana near Rama Mandi in District Bhatinda on 20-21 September night.
The panel comprised of Punjab Human Rights Committee General Secretary Ved Parkash Gupta, Mr. Balwinder. S. Bhullar social worker and Mr. Sukhjit Singh (Neena) a farmer. The panel visited villages Giana, Kanakwal and townships Rama Mandi and Talwandi Saboo in Bhatinda district and interviewed and interacted with common people and the police officers SHO Rama Mandi and DSP Talwandi Saboo in this connection. The Panel heard the eye witness account of Jagsir Singh one of the occupants of the truck who was fortunate enough to escape death at the hands of STF men. The Panel also met the first man who saw the blood covered body of the youth lying in a truck and had reported to the police at Rama Mandi.
According to the findings of the PHRC Panel a truck no DLIG 4100 with four persons including the driver and a bull was coming from Harayana side to Kankwal in Punjab. At Kanakwal village a naka was set up by the STF. STF signaled the truck to stop. They did not stop the truck and tried to flee. Infuriated at this, the STF men started chasing the truck in their own vehicle. The STF started unprovoked indiscriminate firing on the truck. The truck driver did not stop even then. Then they fired at the tyre of the truck and punctured it and the truck stopped out side village Giana.
A panchayat member of village Giana S. Raj Singh was the first man to see the truck with the dead body of the youth and a bull in it. The rear side of the truck was badly covered with blood. He immediately informed the Rama Mandi police as well as DSP Talwandi Saboo about the incident. The Rama Police took the truck as well as the dead body of the youth in its custody.
The DSP Talwandi Saboo S. Gurmeet Singh informed the Panel that the area police swung into action at the orders of SSP Mr. Varinder Kumar with the strict instructions not to spare any guilty man whatsoever he might be. Consequently S. Surjit Singh ASI Ferozepur leader of STF and S. Lakhvir Singh Head Constable Bhatinda were arrested under section 303 IPC for murder of Namim Khan.
When the Panel tried to know more about the STF, the police officers were hesitant to open their mouths. Some police constables on condition of anonymity informed the panel that STF is nothing but a group of about one dozen loyal and trusted policemen formed by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ferozepur range. This STF is personally controlled and run by the IGP. The STF is not answerable to any one but the IGP only. This force has been working in all the six districts of Ferozepur range independently without any connection, cooperation or coordination with the Senior Superintends of Police (SSPs) of these districts. The working of this STF is very dubious. Several times STF was found interfering in the normal working of the district police force.
The Punjab Human Rights Committee after thorough investigation, interaction with villagers, eye witness account of Jagsir Singh and circumstantial evidences has concluded that STF men were responsible of murder of youth Namim Khan. PHRC panel has demanded a thorough investigation into the formation, control and activities of this STF and the arrest of other members who were present at the time of firing resulting in death of a youth near Giana.
The PHRC panel has apprehensions that the powerful and mighty officers may be successful in hushing up the case or pressurize the victims for a compromise and retract their statements given the press and the Panel.
Copies of this report are being sent to Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, Chief Justice Supreme Court of India, Chief Justice Punjab and Harayana High Court, Chairman National Human Rights Commission, CBI, CVC, Chairman Punjab State Human Rights Commission, Chief Minister of Punjab and Director General Police Punjab for thorough investigation to punish the guilty.

Halfway between bacteria and tree
How the protein transport machinery in the chloroplasts of higher plants developed Moss Physcomitrella patens is an evolutionary intermediate stage
Together with colleagues from Sweden, RUB researchers have studied how the protein transport system of bacteria developed over time to form the system in the chloroplasts of higher plants. They explored the so-called signal recognition particles (SRP) and their receptors. Bioinformatic and biochemical analyses revealed that the moss Physcomitrella patens has evolutionarily old and new components of the SRP system, and thus represents an intermediate stage in the development from the bacterial transport system to the chloroplast system in higher plants. The international team led by Prof. Dr. Danja Schünemann and Dr. Chantal Träger from the Working Group Molecular Biology of Plant Organelles at the Ruhr-Universität reported in the journal The Plant Cell.
The SRP system guides new proteins to their place of work
In the cell fluid, a special transport machinery conveys proteins from their origin to their place of work, for example in the cell membrane. The decisive factor is the so-called SRP system. It binds itself to the protein to be transported, travels with it to the cell membrane and interacts there with the SRP receptor (FtsY). If the SRP system binds to the receptor, cleavage of the energy storage molecule GTP triggers further processes which ultimately anchor the protein in the membrane.

In the cell fluid of bacteria, animals and plants, the SRP system consists of two components: the protein SRP54 and the ribonucleic acid SRP RNA. Several years ago, researchers found that the chloroplasts of higher plants, i.e. the photosynthetically active cell components, possess their own SRP system. It is very different from the system of the cell fluid because it has no SRP RNA. However, alongside SRP54 it also contains the protein SRP43, which occurs exclusively in chloroplasts. Scientists assume that chloroplasts originated from cyanobacteria, which initially lived in symbiosis with plant progenitor cells and were ultimately integrated into the plant cells. The scientists have now explored how the RNA-free SRP system of the chloroplasts originated from the RNA-containing SRP system of the bacteria.
Plant kingdom bioinformatically examined
With the aid of bioinformatics, the Bochum biologists and Dr. Magnus Rosenblad of Gothenburg University first examined which representatives in the plant kingdom have which components of the SRP system in their chloroplasts. "We were surprised that many organisms from unicellular green algae to mosses and ferns possess the gene for the SRP RNA in their chloroplasts", says Danja Schünemann. "The only exceptions are the higher plants, which have lost this gene". For them, the SRP system consists solely of the proteins SRP54 and SRP43. Interestingly though, SRP43 also occurs in the chloroplasts of lower plants, which are still equipped with SRP RNA.
SRP RNA in moss has partially lost its function
In collaboration with several groups of the Collaborative Research Centre SFB 642 at the RUB, Dr. Chantal Träger investigated the biochemistry of the moss Physcomitrella patens, which is among the lower plants. Physcomitrella has all the conceivable components of the SRP system in its chloroplasts: both the evolutionarily old components SRP54 and SRP RNA, as well as the more recent evolutionary protein SRP43. However, the SRP RNA of the moss chloroplasts forms a longer loop than the bacterial SRP RNA. This altered structure apparently prevents it from regulating the cleavage of GTP. Physcomitrella patens thus contains the evolutionarily old SRP RNA, which has largely lost certain functions. The SRP system of the chloroplasts of Physcomitrella patens therefore represents the transition between bacteria and higher plants. An X-ray structure analysis also revealed that the SRP receptor (FtsY) of the moss already has properties of the protein of higher plants.

As I sit here impatiently, waiting for my RSS aggregator to update with the latest news feeds, I am still putting serious thought to the "Spring of Living Dangerously" and what that means.
Television, as Reality TV shows us, is about de-evolution. The Internet, however, is about evolution.
Remember when you were amazed by "The Hamster Dance" and cool screen savers? Who cares about that now? These days, if it takes an hour for someone to post video of LeBron James' latest dunk, or if the video is low quality, or if the pipes clog up and the video stutters, you get bent out of shape.
The Web grows. Your expectations grow. And that means that Web sites have to grow.
That's what the "Spring of Living Dangerously" is all about.
To quote Dean Vernon Wormer from Animal House: "The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me."
As much as I rant and rave about the death of newspapers, I have to figure out a way to get real journalism onto the Web. Yes, it's fun finding weird stuff online and making right wing extremists angry. But I can't waste the autumn years of my career clowning around with Web links and whoring myself for page views …
Happy birthday Eva!
Eva Longoria Parker turned 33 on Wednesday and celebrated at her new restaurant Beso. Tony Parker wasn't there, since he was being given her birthday spanking by Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets. Lots of celebrities showed up at her party and there were lots of photographers there. Who am I kidding? Besides that "birthday spanking" joke, you can tell that I'm pretty much mailing this one in.
Here's something interesting about the weather
Not really. The weather is less interesting than insurance actuarial tables. Somehow, John Coleman turned The Weather Channel into one of cable's most profitable and popular networks. And all they do is talk about weather all day. Who knew "boring" could be so compelling? Flush with success, Coleman wants to sue Al Gore for fraud over global warming. Stupid idea? Given Coleman's track record, maybe not.
Who ordered the hit on "American Idol?"
CBS Chief Les Moonves is about to see his network crushed under the juggernaut that is "American Idol." Like any good CEO or organized crime leader, he would rather that it disappear than make the necessary changes to create quality CBS shows that could compete with AI. This is the de-evolution I was referring to, by the way.

Sometimes, cruelty is justified
Making fun of tragedy is bad. Making money off tragedy is worse. But making money by making fun of tragedy is okay if you're making fun of a self-righteous, self-centered idiot who ruined his career and his family's life by paying money for whores.

London–Burberry denied reports today that the it would be seeking a listing Hong Kong stock exchange as the British luxurygoods company posted a better-than-expected fiscal first-quarter sales.
Despite the fact the company instituted a plan to open 20 to 25 new stores this year as well as refurbishing its London flagship and others, Burberry executives said the company didn't need extra funding.
"There is no need to raise capital, there is no catalyst for us to be considering that (a Hong Kong listing)," Finance Director Stacey Cartwright, Burberry's finance director said in a conference call today. "We never said we would consider a Hong Kong listing."
Ever since Prada successfully launched its IPO in Hong Kong, a move that would raise its profile in the burgeoning Greater China market, speculation has circulated in financial circles that other luxurygoods companies might follow suit. Rumors that Burberry might seek a listing continue, and others believe the company could be a prime takeover target.
That speculation arose again as Burberry reported today that for the quarter ended June 30, sales rose 30% to 367 million pounds (about $585 million), ahead of analysts' average estimate expecting 344 million pounds.
Burberry said in May that it expects more modest growth in profit margins this year as it accelerates store openings and increases spending on technology.
'U.S. Has Performed Very Strongly'
The company plans "modest improvement" in full-year retail and wholesale operating margin and targets a "high-teen" percentage increase for wholesale revenue in the first half, excluding China, Burberry said.
Retail sales rose 44% to 245 million pounds, while wholesale revenue increased 9% to 95 million pounds. Sales jumped 62% in the Asia-Pacific region, 23% in Europe and 16% in the Americas.
Cartwright said that the brand will "largely be able to mitigate" raw-material price increases.
"The U.S. has performed very strongly within that wholesale guidance number. We believe we continue to outperform versus many of our luxury peers there," Cartwright said.
Burberry also said it expects wholesale revenue excluding China to increase by a high-teens percentage at constant exchange rates in the first half, up from its previous forecast of mid-teens growth.
Burberry added it expected a percentage gain for licensing revenue in the current year to March in the mid-single digits.

It's have been long time that I didn't post any article. But that was not my fault, actually I was very busy from past two months. Anyways It's better late than never. So I am back with some quotes on design. These quotes I noticed in passing year 2011. I really inspired from these and tried to follow through out the year. So I want to share it with you guys.
Design & Music has no language.
If you want to be a well-paid designer, please the client.
If you want to be an award-winning designer, please yourself.
If you want to be a great designer, please the audience.
Design is thinking made visual.
Designers are meant to be loved, not to be understood.
Close your eyes and Open your mind. Only the you can create better.
Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.
Everything is designed. Few things are designed well.
Design should never say, "Look at me." It should always say, "Look at this"
Design is an opportunity to continue telling the story, not just to sum everything up.
People think that design is styling. Design is not style. It's not about giving shape to the shell and not giving a damn about the guts. Good design is a renaissance attitude that combines technology, cognitive science, human need, and beauty to produce something that the world didn't know it was missing.
The ultimate inspiration is the deadline.
Design to express, not to impress.
My favorite is – 'The ultimate inspiration is the deadline'

News for August 1, 1999
Frank Vandenbroucke is back in the Ronde van het Waals GewestPloegsteert is the home of Frank Frank Vandenbroucke and there were thousands of spectators out in force to give him moral support in the first kms of the prologue on Friday. Although he came in at 26th place (0.28 down on winner Marc Streel) VDB was contented with his performance. He said: "I realise that while I tried to win with three months out of competition and only training kms in my legs that no-one could expect to do better. I dreamed of a win but also know that I am cannot produce miracles... I am still wanting to be part of cycling. I have been missing the feeling of racing... This is a good way to start in my own region. I must not force it though. I don't want to get the recurring knee pain... Yes, I plan to race the World Cup events in August to try to defend my leader's jersey. I am will race the second part of the season fresh. I plan to ride the Tour of Lombardy and hope to win the World Cup. I will be riding the Tour of Limousin and the GP Plouay and I hope that by September my legs will be good enough to contest the Vuelta. I then am aiming at the Worlds in Verona. I think I can get into good condition for them.
Uwe Ampler tests positive for testosterone34-year old German professional Uwe Ampler (34) has tested positive to testosterone during the Sachsen Rundfahrt. The 1986 World Amateur Champion returned positive A and B Samples after being tested in an early stage. He was stripped of his leader's jersey before the beginning of the first (of two) stages on Saturday.
Andrei TchmilRecently, at the Criterium Lisieux in France, 36-year old Andrei Tchmil decided to go to back his hotel for a coke. The morning after he heard from Jef Braeckevelt that he was called for a drug test. Tchmil panicked and called the UCI President Hein Verbruggen for advice. He wanted to go to the French doctor Aubril (who performed the test) but Aubril had already left for vacation. In lieu of this he went to the local hospital to give blood and urine for a test. He is hoping the UCI will accept his version of the events.
He said: "I did not know anything about the test. I have been preparing for the second-half of the season while the Tour de France was on. Of-course, I am not so stupid as to use drugs for the criterium at Lisieux."
Tchmil decided to cancel all his criteriums in France. He will use the Omloop van de Waalse Gewesten in Belgium as preparation for the world cup races.

Amilcare Tronca diesOn Tuesday, 22-year old Amilcare Tronca died in hospital after sustaining serious head injuries in an accident on Monday accident. He was in a coma for a day in hospital before he passed away. Tronca, from the Amica Chips-Costa de Almeria team, turned professional in 1995 and he won the Lugano Championship Open in 1996, his only career victory. He was a good climber. In June, he was 7th in the Italian championships.

Compensation for former professionalA Spanish judge has awarded compensation of $US1 million to former professional Reimund Dietzen, who 10 years ago fell heavily during the Vuelta in a badly lit subway. He was at that time riding for the Spanish team Teka and never recovered to race again. The organisers of the Vuelta, Unipublic SA, were deemed responsable by the Judge.
Netherlands, Heerlen Profronde, 80 kms, July 30:There was some doubt whether Lance Armstrong would honour his contract to race at the Heerlen criterium last Friday given his last-minute invitation to meet the president of the United States. But apparently something was worked out. The actual events went like this. Al Vermeeren of the Stichting Profronde Heerlen, announced Lance Armstrong would ride in Heerlen for certain. He said that Lance would arrive in Brussels from the US and stay with Eddy Merckx during the day. He would then arrive in Heerlen around 19.00. If he had to land somewhere else, the organiser had arranged for a special plane to pick him up.
The budget for the race was around 120,000 Dutch guilders (55 Euro). 13 Tour riders were contracted. No contract was offered to Michael Boogerd and Leon van Bon. Vermeeren said: "The start moneys demanded by Boogerd (20,000 guilders) and Van Bon (10,000 guilders) bore no relation to their performance in the 1999 Tour de France."
Two local Limburg professionals - Raymond Meijs and Max van Heeswijk were also not offered contracts - a departure from the usual practice of highlighting local professionals. Meijs got a stage placing in the Tour some years ago, but the organisation were not impressed and only want to have big names. The reason for not selecting Van Heeswijk was not known.
Besides Armstrong and Hincapie the featured riders were - Robbie McEwen, Ludo Dierckxsens, Maarten den Bakker, Marc Lotz, Erik Dekker and the Belgian talents Kurt van de Wouwer and Rik Verbrugghe.

Denmark pulls out of Tour biddingDenmark is likely to withdraw its candidature to host a start of the 2002 Tour de France because it has decided that the organisation of cycling is not serious in its fight against drugs. The president of the Danish committee which was pursuing the option, Niels Nygard said: "The situation as it stands today is untenable. It is useless putting everything in place for a Tour stage in Denmark."
. Mr Nygaard said that this year's Tour did not demonstrate that the riders or officials had changed their attitudes. "It would take a miracle for the situation to change significantly between now and 2002."
USA, Canada, Pan-American GamesErin Hartwell (Indianapolis, Ind.) won a silver medal in the kilometer time trial, and Dylan Casey (Mountain View, Calif.) recorded the fastest qualifying time in the 4,000-meter individual pursuit Wednesday in the first day of tack cycling action at the 1999 Pan American Games at Red River Exhibition Park.
Hartwell, who has won silver medals in his specialty at the past two Pan American Games, recorded a time of 1:05.347, finishing behind Cuba's Cabrara Julio Herrera. Hartwell is coming back from knee surgery that has sidelined him for most for most of the past nine months. He won a bronze medal at the '98 World Track Cycling Championships in Bordeaux, France and returned to track cycling earlier this month.
"It was disappointing for me, but I know that I have to start off somewhere," said Hartwell, who won a silver medal at the '96 Olympic Games in the kilometer time trial. "I tried and gave it my all, but my body is going to take more time to recover than I had hoped. It was a gamble for me to be on the team, but I am glad I was able to contribute with a medal-winning performance.
Casey, who finished fourth in Sunday's individual time trial road event, posted a record time of 4:32.118 and then defeated Brian Walton of Canada in the semifinal round to advance to Thursday's finals against Walter Perez of Argentina (the silver medalist at the '95 PAG).
"I felt very comfortable and rode within myself today," said Casey, who rides for the U.S. Postal Service team and is a teammate of Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong. "I learn every time I ride on the track, but I feel I am becoming stronger and more knowledgeable after each race. I do not have a lot of experience in track cycling, but I am a quick learner.
In the men's sprint, 1995 Pan Am champ Marty Nothstein (Trexlertown, Pa.) posted the fastest time in the qualifying round and advanced to the second round, along with teammate Marcelo Arrue (Woodland Hills, Calif.). Nothstein defeated Arrue, who was representing Chile in those games, in the finals of the last Pan Am Games.
"I was pleased with my time and performance," said Nothstein, "I wanted to qualify first and then let the process begin. There are some talented riders in the field, and I have to make my move on step at a time."
In the women's competition, Jennie Reed of Kirkland, Wash. posted the second fastest qualifying time in the sprint event, behind 1998 world bronze medalist Tanya Dubnicoff, who also won the 500-meter time trial in from of her hometown fans of Winnipeg. Reed, who lost to Dubnicoff in the bronze medal race at last year's world championships, also finished fifth in the 500-meter time trial finals.
Action continues Thursday with the men's individual pursuit finals, quarterfinal action in the men and women's sprints and the preliminary round of the women's individual pursuit and men's team pursuit. Erin Veenstra (Colorado Springs, Colo.) represents the United States in the women's individual pursuit, while the quarter of Tommy Mulkey (Winterville, Ga.), Derek Bouchard-Hall (Palo Alto, Calif.), Adam Laurent (Shell Beach, Calif.) and Mariano Fredick (Los Angeles) make their 1999 Pan Am Games debut. Action starts at 5 p.m.

text: There's another art piece called the YAL-1, which is a megawatt-class laser built into a 747 with a 3-5 second pulse time. After spending $5B on development, and verifying that it can, in fact, damage missile while in boost phase (not descending phase), but only at relatively close range, Defense Secretary Gates said that "I don't know anybody at the Department of Defense who thinks that this program should, or would, ever be operationally deployed. The reality is that you would need a laser something like 20 to 30 times more powerful than the chemical laser in the plane right now to be able to get any distance from the launch site to fire. "So, right now the ABL would have to orbit inside the borders of Iran in order to be able to try and use its laser to shoot down that missile in the boost phase. And if you were to operationalize this you would be looking at 10 to 20 747s, at a billion and a half dollars apiece, and $100 million a year to operate. And there's nobody in uniform that I know who believes that this is a workable concept."

Real Madrid officially ended their 'German Curse' by demolishing clueless Bayern Munich and now, La Décima is just one step away from being a reality for Los Blancos who advanced to the Champions League final for the first time since 2002.
Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo each scored braces for Los Blancos who dethroned the tournament holders on a 5-0 aggregate. Real will now await in the final the winner of Wednesday's second leg semifinal between city rivals Atlético Madrid and English side Chelsea, led by former Real manager Jose Mourinho.
Prior to their knockout stage game against Schalke, Madrid had just one win from 25 previous visits to Germany in European competition, and were beaten 4-1 at Borussia Dortmund on their most recent visit in last year's Champions League semifinal first leg. Fans and media in the Spanish capital were well aware of the 'curse'. Fast forward in the month of April, it seems that German clubs have 'Real Madrid Curse' now.
At long last, Real Madrid can almost touch La Decima. This was an occasion when the Spanish club had been confronted by tension, the weight of history, curses and a Bayern Munich team that were supposed to pass them to death. Yet Carlo Ancelotti, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and, yes, Gareth Bale sliced through it all with a performance of such swashbuckling brilliance that Pep Guardiola's Bayern side were reduced to rubble.
They boldly wrote their own script in Bavaria, one marked by a tactical masterclass from Ancelotti and ruthless execution from his players as the team that they have feared in Madrid as the Black Beast was torn apart piece by piece.
Real served notice early that they would take the game to Bayern with several early chances as chances from both Bale and Di María missed. However, the goal for the visitors would come as they secured the precious away goal in the 14th minute thanks to Ramos. The Andalusian defender silenced the deafening Munich crowd with a towering header that out Real up 1-0. Modric lofted a corner kick into the area and Ramos, completely unmarked, outleaped everyone to power a header home past Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
The Real goal shook Bayern as the normally composed Germans started to lash out and one such aggression resulted in a Real free kick in the 25th minute. The resulting kick from Di María was flicked on by Pepe and it found the head of Ramos who sent in his second header of the night to make Bayern's comeback task even more difficult.
The Real goal shook Bayern as the normally composed Germans started to lash out and one such aggression resulted in a Real free kick in the 25th minute. The resulting kick from Di María was flicked on by Pepe and it found the head of Ramos who sent in his second header of the night to make Bayern's comeback task even more difficult.
The strike that would then salt away the tie third was a classic counter from Ancelotti's side as a ball was fed into Bale and with Ronaldo charging upfield, the Welshman swept over a cross to the Portuguese who slammed the ball past Neuer to record his 50th Champions League goal as a Real Madrid player.
Ronaldo capped the magical night with a sublime free kick from just outside the area that he sent skipping under a pair of Bayern players who had jumped while lined up as a defensive wall. Neuer was utterly helpless to stop it as the shot went searing under the laces and into the net to make it 4-0 in the 90th minute.
The Bayern inquest centred on the lack of an obvious Plan B from Guardiola once the possession football had been blunted while it could not fail to ignore the shocking looseness at the back. There will be no successful Champions League defence for them. For Real, however, who had never previously won in Munich, the possibilities are tantalising.

In mathematics, normalization means adjusting values between different data sets to bring them to a common scale. It allows for statistics to be viewed together in a way that makes more sense. In essence, it makes them more acceptable.
That's what's happening today with gay marriage. Anyone who believes that it's not the norm to accept gay marriage is missing the trends. It doesn't matter how hard the opposition fights. This battle has already been lost. One of the biggest reasons is the brilliant methodology of strategies used by proponents of gay marriage. They're assuming victory and have achieved it as a result. It will not take long for nearly all states to allow gay marriage. In six years, the concept of gay marriage has gone from widely unaccepted (even by our liberal president who was against it in the beginning of his first term) to holding a majority of support.
The infographic below is a perfect example of the tactics that have been used. By associating laws that ban gay marriage with laws that ban things such as pumping your own gas, the Huffington Post has normalized the scale. They have classified gay marriage bans as unnecessary. It's just one of the reasons that they have won.

What has kept Tiger Shroff from catching up with neighbour Aamir Khan?
When Tiger Shroff stepped into Bollywood, Aamir Khan extended his full support to promote his debut film, 'Heropanti'. But what has kept Tiger from catching up with his mentor-cum-neighbour Aamir lately?
When Tiger Shroff stepped into Bollywood, Aamir Khan extended his full support to promote him and his debut film, 'Heropanti'. Even while prepping for the role, the young actor would often be seen at Aamir's place — they happen to be neighbours — to seek advice and acting tips.
Tiger Shroff and Aamir Khan
But, of late, Tiger has not had a chance to meet his mentor. Reason? Both of them are busy with their upcoming projects.
"Aamir sir was kind enough to invite me to his house a couple of times before I began my career. Of late, we haven't met since he is quite busy working on his next film, Dangal, while I am devoting all my time to prep up for Baaghi. It's an intense role and Sabbir (Khan, director) sir is making me go through gruelling workshops with the rest of the star cast almost everyday," he says.
Tiger's father and veteran actor Jackie Shroff shares a close bond with Aamir and their bonding dates back to the time when they appeared together in Ram Gopal Varma's 'Rangeela' (1995). The superstar, who has known Tiger since his childhood, has also apparently worked out with him in the same gym.

So here I am once again reeling from insight after insight triggered happily by reading another Pete Walker book! Finding that I'm free – or continuing to work myself free from old constraining ways of thinking around my shame from drinking and other perceived weaknesses which is often represented by the voice of our inner critic. It's just too good not to share and once again I strongly advise you to go read the whole book! 🙂
14 Common Inner Critic Attacks (He kindly provides a therapeutic thought-correction response with each attack/programme) and these are a great addition to my posts looking at Drinking Thinking errors.
- Perfectionism. This is a self-persecutory myth. I do not have to be perfect to be safe or loved in the present. I am letting go of relationships that require perfection. I have a right to make mistakes, Mistakes do not make me a mistake. Every mistake or mishap is an opportunity to practice loving myself in the places I have never been loved.
- All-Or-Nothing & Black-and-White Thinking. I reject extreme or over-generalized descriptions, judgements or criticisms. One negative happenstance does not mean I am stuck in a never-ending pattern of defeat. Statements that describe me as 'always' or 'never' this or that, are typically grossly inaccurate.
- Self-Hate, Self-Disgust & Toxic Shame. I commit to myself. I am on my side. I am a good enough person. I refuse to trash myself. I turn shame back into blame and disgust, and externalize it to anyone who shames my normal feelings and foibles. As long as I am not hurting anyone, I refuse to be shamed for normal emotional responses like anger, sadness, fear and depression. I especially refuse to attack myself for how hard it is to completely eliminate this self-hate habit.
- Micromanagement/Worrying/Obsessing/Looping/Over-Futurizing. I will not repetitively examine details over and over. I will not jump to negative conclusions. I will not endlessly second-guess myself. I cannot change the past. I forgive all my past mistakes. I cannot make the future perfectly safe. I will stop hunting for what could go wrong. I will not try to control the uncontrollable. I will not micromanage myself or others. I work in a way that is 'good enough', and I accept the existential fact that my efforts sometimes bring the desired results and sometimes they do not. A serenity prayer moment 😉
- Unfair/Devaluing Comparisons to others or to your most perfect moments. I refuse to compare myself unfavourably to others. I will not compare 'my insides to their outsides'. I will not judge myself for not being at peak performance all the time. In a society that pressures into acting happy all the time, I will not get down on myself for feeling bad.
- Guilt. Feeling guilty does not mean I am guilty. I refuse to make my decisions and choices from guilt. Sometimes I need to feel the guilt and do it anyway. In the inevitable instances when I inadvertently hurt someone, I will apologize, make amends, and let go of my guilt. I will not apologize over and over. I am no longer a victim. I will not accept unfair blame. Guilt is sometimes camouflaged fear.
- 'Shoulding'. I will substitute the words 'want to' for 'should' and only follow this imperative if it feels like I want to, unless I am under legal, ethical or moral obligation.
- Over-productivity/Workaholism/Busyholism. I am a human being not a human doing. I will not choose to be perpetually productive. I am more productive in the long run, when I balance work with play and relaxation. I will not try to perform at 100% all the time. I subscribe to the normalcy of vacillating along a continuum of efficiency.
- Harsh Judgements of Self & Others/Name-Calling. I will not let the bullies and critics of my early life win by joining and agreeing with them. I refuse to attack myself or abuse others. I will not displace the criticism and blame that rightfully belongs to my dysfunctional caretakers onto myself or current people in my life.
- Drasticizing/Catastrophizing/Hypochondriasizing. I feel afraid but I am not in danger. I am not 'in trouble' with my parents. I will not blow things out of proportion. I refuse to scare myself with thoughts and pictures of my life deteriorating. No more homemade horrors and disaster flicks. I will not turn every ache and pain into a story about my imminent demise. I am safe and at peace.
- Negative Focus. I renounce over-noticing and dwelling on what might be wrong with me or life around me. I will not minimize or discount my attributes. Right now, I notice, visualise and enumerate my accomplishments, talents and qualities, as well as the many gifts that life offers me, e.g., nature, music, film, food, beauty, colour, friends, pets, etc.
- Time Urgency. I am not in danger. I do not need to rush. I will not hurry unless it is a true emergency. I am learning to enjoy doing my daily activities at a relaxed pace.
- Disabling Performance Anxiety. I reduce procrastination by reminding myself that I will not accept unfair criticism or perfectionist expectations from anyone. Even when afraid, I will defend myself from unfair criticism. I won't let fear make my decisions.
- Perseverating about Being Attacked. Unless there are clear signs of danger, I will thought-stop my projection of past bullies/critics onto others. The vast majority of my fellow human beings are peaceful people. I have legal authorities to aid in my protection if threatened by the few who aren't. I invoke thoughts and images of my friends' love and support.
1 – 9 are what Pete Walker describes as 'perfectionism attacks, fueled by toxic shame, create chronic self-hate and self-flagellation' and 10-14 'endangerment attacks, fueled by fear, create chronic hyper vigilance and anxiety'.
Aren't these just the best?! What a freeing list to read 🙂
And if you'd like to work on easing your inner critic voice here is a meditation from Melli over at MrsMindfulness

{Thank you for all of the sweet feedback on my first video! I was a little nervous, but I've got some practicing to do so you'll be seeing a few more in the future!}
This last weekend marked a first for A Nutritionist Eats.
I baked.
Vegan, Whole Spelt Raspberry Scones
And I baked.
Vegan, Gluten-Free Apple Cinnamon Muffins
And I baked some more.
Vegan, Gluten-Free Lemon Blueberry Streusel
My kitchen has never seen so much gluten-free, whole grain flour in a 48 hour period.
It all started with an email from the Minneapolis Library, letting me know that the Babycakes cookbook that I had reserved was ready to be picked up.
Then came the tough part. What to make? Which obviously was a hard decision as I wrote out a rather long shopping list, paid a small fortune for brown rice flour, spelt flour, garbanzo & fava bean flour, agave, coconut oil and a mound of various gums and baked my little heart out.
But it was a lot of fun, and definitely worth all of those dirty dishes. 🙂 I think I know just what I'll be doing this weekend…

The Downtown Master Plan, a preliminary version of which was recently released for public comment, is likely to put a strong emphasis on the importance of maintaining a strong business presence in the Historic District.
And that's a good thing, because office workers are key players in a vibrant inner-city economy.
Without a strong business presence during the day, downtown Savannah would be in danger of being overrun by tourists.
Of course, while businesses are good for the city, the city can also be good for businesses.
It's easy for office workers downtown to make connections and find their place in the broader economy of the city.
That was one of many subjects I discussed last week with Christopher Cay, president and co-owner of Cay Insurance Services, which got off the ground in March.
The new company leases office space from Palmer & Cay Properties Inc. at 2 E. Bryan St. in the Johnson Square Business Center, which is a rather dull name for Savannah's tallest downtown building.
"It's really about the service," Cay said about the thrust of his new business. He's hoping that clients will find "a boutique feel" in the personalized attention from him and co-owner John Sipple.
Not only did Cay and Sipple think it was important to set up shop downtown, but they also are part of another trend that we'd like to see more of. They're both Savannah natives who studied, lived, and worked elsewhere before deciding to develop their careers here.
Most recently, the pair worked for Wachovia, which acquired Palmer & Cay Inc. in May 2005.
"We left on very friendly terms," Cay said of his and Sipple's departure from Wachovia, a company they both praised in their discussions with me.
Cay told me that so far most of his company's new clients have come through referrals and simple word of mouth.
There's been considerable interest from boomers retiring to the Southeast coast. Especially with recent concerns about hurricanes, new residents to the area are eager to find a local broker, according to Cay.
In the last few years, Cay has seen clients lean toward higher deductibles. That means lower premiums, of course, but it also means that policy holders are more willing than before to pay out of pocket for minor losses.
About 100 people turned out for the "meet and greet" that took place last week by Cay Insurance Services in the conference room on the 15th floor of their building.
Seen from that height, downtown Savannah seems incredibly small and amazingly diverse. The port was gleaming in the distance and - even late in the day - the huge cranes were still active at Ellis Square.
Still, the landscape was largely dominated by the trees.
All in all, not a bad city to be working in.

Look, just let it go, OK? Jared Borgetti isn't coming to Houston. Neither is German Villa.
Don't believe everything the Mexican papers print. Perhaps a more sound piece of advice, don't believe everything players say.
These days, it is trendy for them to say they have an offer in MLS as they try to land a better deal back home.
Now, Nate Jaqua? You might be on to something there.
And that stadium deal? From what I hear the moods have been jovial around Dynamo headquarters lately.
But before we dive in, a look at what the Soccer Page has in store for you:
• Eddie Robinson is out for Thursday, and likely to be joined in the agony by Richard Mulrooney.
• Tickets for the Dynamo's SuperLiga home dates are on sale.
• Glenn Davis says Arshavin is man of the hour for Russia.
• Austria's coach calls it quits, and Donadoni could be out of a job.
• U.S. coach Pia Sundhage names her Olympic roster:
GOALKEEPERS: Nicole Barnhart, Hope Solo
DEFENDERS: Rachel Buehler, Lori Chalupny, Stephanie Cox, Kate Markgraf, Heather Mitts, Christie Rampone
MIDFIELDERS: Shannon Boxx, Tobin Heath, Angela Hucles, Carli Lloyd, Heather O'Reilly, Lindsay Tarpley, Aly Wagner
FORWARDS: Natasha Kai, Amy Rodriguez, Abby Wambach
OK, one at a time:
• On Borgetti: Dynamo COO Chris Canetti said the team is not looking for a designated player at this time. Yes, the company line, but in his own words:
"This is news to us because it is not a fact."
Yes, Borgetti would be a designated player, so if you go by Canetti's assertion, forget about El Zorro.
And that's too bad, because the Dynamo could use a player like Borgetti, Mexico's all-time leading scorer, right about now. Even at six weeks removed from his 35th birthday, he would have an impact. If only he would work for under $200K.
Yeah, because I wouldn't sign a 35-year-old DP, even if Cuauhtemoc Blanco has proved me wrong.
That leads me to:
• On Jaqua: Canetti labeled as "serious" the talks the team and Jaqua's agent have had regarding the forward's possible return to MLS.
Jaqua, who left the team in December for a move to the Austrian Bundesliga, is weighing his options, which should include at least a couple in the Old World after a successful half season with Cashpoint
His desire to return to the Dynamo and MLS seems lukewarm.
As for Joseph Ngwenya, with whom the team and coaching staff have remained in contact, chances of having him return to MLS remain slim. Canetti said Ngwenya hasn't showed him any sign of wanting to come back.
Ngwenya, who also moved to Austria, could make a decision over the next few weeks now that he is through with World Cup qualifying action with Zimbabwe.
After playing just 58 minutes in half a season for a team that finished near the bottom of the standings, Ngwenya's prospects can't be promising in Europe. However, he has said he feels he has something to prove.
• On the stadium: Oliver Luck is out of town, but he has recently expressed optimism about the state of negotiations with the city of Houston for a venue just east of U.S. 59 and Minute Maid Park.
True, Luck is an eternal optimist, but after 1 ½ years of wheeling and dealing, something may be close to happening.
I need to make more calls, and I ran out of sunlight on Monday. So you should expect another update regarding the subject later today or early Wednesday.

Your call: Say you decide the Dynamo must get a DP and AEG gives you the OK, but you need to free up $250K under the salary cap to sign that big-time forward (remember that $400K of his salary counts against the cap).
Whom do you do away with? Do you look to a couple forwards for cap space? How about the left side of the midfield, where depth looks extremely good? How about the back line?
