Is this how Portugal's security will protect Ronaldo? (Image: Action)
It's never easy to adjust to a new environment when you're traveling the world. The importance of that adjustment is astronomical for teams at a World Cup. The pressure is on to perform, but how can players be expected to do so if they're not comfortable?
Naturally, each team has some specific and downright weird demands ahead of this summer's World Cup in Brazil.
This is just a sample of the requirements released by Brazilian newspaper Lance. And we're sure there are many more demands that we'll never hear about (and probably don't want to).
(H/T SB Nation)
Months of waiting and weeks of speculation will end when Mexico finally takes the field against Honduras at Estadio Azteca tonight. It is the most significant game of the Hexagonal to date for El Tri, a chance to atone for the three scoreless draws in Mexico City and ease the tension ahead of the final three Hex matches.
The buildup to the game included plenty of discussion about its overall significance and the particular selection quandaries facing José Manuel de la Torre ahead of the encounter (please add link from secondary preview when posted). Here are five more points to watch as the tense affair unfolds this evening.
1. How will Mexico process the pressure?
El Tri crumbled under the pressure to dictate terms and sweep aside its opposition in its previous three home matches. It cannot afford a similar display against the Hondurans. This group must exude confidence from the opening whistle and stamp its intent on the game early to calm the inevitable nerves and set the tone for the affair.
The absence of Jozy Altidore from Sunderland's 3-1 defeat at Crystal Palace on Saturday creates some cause for concern for United States coach Jurgen Klinsmann ahead of the upcoming qualifiers against Costa Rica and Mexico.
Sunderland announced Altidore missed the defeat at Selhurst Park with a hamstring injury on its official Twitter feed. The extent of the injury remains uncertain:
Striker @JozyAltidore is missing with a hamstring injury.— Sunderland AFC (@SAFCofficial) August 31, 2013
He is expected to link up with his American teammates in Miami and receive further evaluation by the U.S. medical staff, a U.S. Soccer spokesperson confirmed on Saturday.
Altidore's importance to the side in recent months makes the diagnosis particularly influential. The former AZ striker has scored in each of his past five appearances, including a hat trick in the 4-3 victory at Bosnia-Herzegovina on Aug. 14. His recent form (he leads all scorers in the Hexagonal with three goals) and his status within the ranks leaves Klinsmann with a quandary if he is, for some reason, unable to feature.
Landon Donovan's return to the ranks creates additional depth and flexibility in the attacking third, but Altidore plays a particularly vital role given his willingness to lead the line. Most of the players at Klinsmann's disposal – including Donovan and captain Clint Dempsey – prefer to drift into dangerous areas from a variety of angles and operate in the space underneath a center forward. Altidore instead provides the touchstone required to allow other players to thrive. And there is no player in the current squad capable of replicating those exact contributions.
If Altidore cannot feature against Costa Rica or Klinsmann opts to hold him out to provide him with more recovery time (or sidestep a potential second booking), then the Americans must figure how to adapt without him.
There isn't a simple answer to the quandary. Eddie Johnson probably presents the most natural swap – he isn't a prototypical target player, but he does stave off defenders and surge behind the line – on a night when the Americans might have to soak up some pressure. Dempsey supplies the primary alternative given his dexterity and the potential opening created for Donovan, but a tethered position up front reduces his ability to influence the game in other ways. And Klinsmann – as evidenced by his willingness to deploy Johnson on the left side of midfield and use DaMarcus Beasley and Brad Evans at fullback – possesses the imagination to explore other options as well.
Klinsmann will certainly hope he does not have to pursue any of them. Altidore remains the firm first choice up front. But he will have to wait and see whether Altidore's health will dispel any uncertainty in the coming days and permit him to take his usual place up front in San Jose on Friday night.

This summer has not delivered the rewards Guillermo Ochoa expected.
Ochoa did everything within his power to position himself for a lucrative move. He performed admirably in a poor Ajaccio side last season and stuck to his task even as he angled for a transfer elsewhere. He racked up a few extra caps earlier this year before Mexico coach José Manuel de la Torre opted to return to preferred number one Jesus Corona.
By the start of his club campaign, Ochoa probably expected to turn out for a significant European side on a fairly regular basis. Maybe he even harbored genuine hopes of applying pressure with his increased profile to reclaim his number one shirt with El Tri.
So much for those mooted developments.
Ochoa joined Carlos Vela in the cast of prominent de la Torre exiles when he rejected overtures to feature as Corona's backup for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Honduras and the United States. He then listened on Saturday as Ajaccio president Alain Orsoni noted a lack of concrete interest from AC Milan or any other purported suitor and suggested it would take a miracle for Ochoa to sign for a new club before the window slams shut on Monday.
At some point, Ochoa must start to wonder whether things will shift in his direction. He can point to his work over the past year or so and reasonably contend that he warrants the number one shirt for his country and a larger club somewhere in Europe.
Instead of fulfilling those ambitions, Ochoa — barring a late swoop inspired by Orsoni's fairly transparent entreaties — will bide his time on Corsica and wait for patiently for his luck to turn. It isn't exactly what he envisioned, but the prospect of spending some extra time on a Mediterranean island in the interim at least provides modest compensation for his toil:

Gold Cup semifinals
By Leander Schaerlaeckens, FOXSoccer.com
It never ceases to be a problem: rolls of grass sod laid over artificial turf for a few days so that a soccer game might feel like an actual soccer game.
The United States men's national team played on one such field in Seattle during a World Cup qualifier last month and the interim surface held up fairly well. It did too in Baltimore for the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals on Sunday, in spite of the lashing rain.
But this time around, the prospect of playing yet another game on this strange arrangement is a bleak one. The grass laid over the Cowboys Stadium turf for the USA to face Honduras in the Gold Cup semis on Wednesday – and for Mexico to face Panama a few hours later – looks in dreadful shape long before it's even been played on:
Photo: Leander Schaerlaeckens/FOXSoccer.com
Ahead of their only practice on the field on Tuesday afternoon, the American outfit was predictably diplomatic about the prospects of playing on another such field. ("We'll deal with it then," and "Both teams have to play on it," and other such stock answers were delivered.) But this field must have inspired a real terror in them when they first trod on it.
Frankly, it looks like it was poorly laid, using a poor stock of grass. It is patchy, with long gashes between strips of it that don't touch or line up. Green sand was being used to fill those holes, but that could do little to make the surface any softer. Walking over it even as a reporter in sneakers, the ground beneath you was noticeably hard and unforgiving.
How then, will players who have overcome serious knee injuries like Stu Holden or the newly recalled Omar Gonzalez handle playing on it? Will head coach Jurgen Klinsmann risk their health on it at all?
When I asked him how much of a consideration the management of minutes for those recovering from injuries, fresh to the team or indeed in danger of re-aggravating old ailments because of the surface was at this pivotal stage of the tournament, Klinsmann said it wasn't any different than usual.
But this time it is different. You don't want to dilute your lineup any for fear of surface-induced injuries. Not in a semifinal. Yet the sorry state of the grass at Cowboys Stadium has made that impossible for him,whether he'll admit to it or not.
We all love those moments when a cute animal invades a soccer pitch. We've had dogs, cats and pine martins getting involved in the action, but the cameraman at last night's Gold Cup clash between Haiti and Honduras caught some great footage of a squirrel bouncing around looking for the nearest escape route. Altogether now "awwwww!".
With the 1-0 victory over Honduras, the United States now sits atop the qualifying group with 13 points. After scoring his 4th goal in the last 4 games, Jozy Altidore is the hero once again:
With 4 games remaining, the team is in prime position to book a trip to Brazil and qualify for the 2014 World Cup.
Costa Rica have put themselves in a good position as well; with their 2-0 defeat of Panama they trail the United States by just 1 point.
These top two teams square off Sept. 6 and will aim to give themselves a chance to take control of their qualifying destiny.

One response to "Togo – children design handwashing stations"
I really like this design totally sustainable and created by kids its definitely the way forward

this is something, my parents used to make for us kids. I dont know if its a traditional korean dish, because when i made it for my friends, they where looking kinda sceptical. So it could be, that my parents incented this when they immigrated to germany.
you prepare ganjang as follows:
1 cup ganjang
2-4 tbs sesame-oil
handfull of sesame seeds, hot pepperflakes and green onions.
this is a standard ganjang I learned from my mother.
you take some fresh made rice, still hot, butter it up nicely and put some of the above ganjang in it. the green onions give it a nice crunch, sesame oil softens it up and well... everything tastes better with butter...
best with fresh made kimchi...
maybe anyone can tell me if they know this concoction?

Kamloops News
Stolen Kamloops truck hits police car
Vernon RCMP were able to track down and find a stolen truck after Kamloops RCMP alerted them it was heading their way.
On Sunday January 12 at approximately 7 a.m. the Vernon Rural RCMP members were alerted to a stolen White Ford F 250 heading east.
The truck had been stolen from Kamloops and was being tracked by police via GPS.
Vernon/North Okanagan members chose to set up a position on Hwy. 97 coming in to Vernon to locate and hopefully stop the truck.
Molendyk says information from the GPS indicated the truck was traveling at speeds of up to 130 km/h.
"Our officers set up at various points along Hwy. 97 in an effort to identify the truck without causing suspicion to the driver," explained Molendyk.
The truck was identified by police and allowed to pass and enter Vernon City limits without drawing attention.
"One of our members, in an unmarked vehicle, was used to track the movements letting officers know where it was heading to set up to arrest the suspects," says Molendyk.
Then the driver and passenger became aware of police and tried to get away.
"At one point the driver swerved into the police car causing minor damage," says Molendyk. "These actions caused the truck to drive onto the shoulder of the road and into a tree, as a result both suspects were taken into police custody."
The 34-year-old man from Hope who was driving was arrested with assistance from the Police Service Dog team.
The 33-year-old woman passenger from Chilliwack was chased down by police on foot and arrested.
"Nobody was injured and there was only minor damage to the stolen vehicle and police car," says Molendyk.
Multiple charges are being recommended against both suspects.
The man is currently on parole and has been remanded in custody to appear in court today while the woman has been released on a promise to appear.

JUSTIN BIEBER Uses His "Twitter Powers" To Help MATT LAUER Get Millions Of Followers (VIDEO)
Celebrity news tells us that JUSTIN BIEBER used his "Twitter powers" to help "Today Show" host MATT LAUER get millions of followers on his new account… and for a reason!
We all know Justin Bieber is influential in so many ways and that he's able to literally make a humongous group of people (well, mostly crazed females) act on something with a single tweet… and it's all possible because of the teen pop star's apparent appeal and over 23 MILLION followers on Twitter!
And in hopes of using Justin's Twitter super powers for a "good" cause, Matt Lauer asked the 18-year-old heartthrob to help him build his following on his new handle, @mlauer, during their interview on the "Today Show."
Lauer then gave his iPhone to Bieber, who took the chance to plug his upcoming "Believe" album instead of following Lauer's request that he posted a regular first tweet.
Justin typed in "Lauer's" first ever post on Twitter:
"Hello. Everyone go buy Justin bieber's album #believe coming out June 19th."
With Justin still on Lauer's phone, the first tweet was followed up with:
"If u want to find out Justins [sic] first song hes performing tweet me"
The pop star later "retweeted" Lauer's post and within minutes, Lauer earned himself thousands of new followers! But he still needs at least 750,000 followers by Tuesday.
Check out the video to find out why:
Will you be following Lauer on Twitter?

2014 Word Of The Year
My word of the year for 2013 was "June" mostly because it reminds me of us.
I was born on the 5th, and Kevin came (early) on the 28th. We were so excited to discover that we were both June '74 babies! We were married on the 25th in 2004, so we'll be celebrating our 10th anniversary the next time "our month" rolls around. 10th. How did that get here so fast?
So for the past 360 days, I invited June into my life. I wrote it down where I was sure to see it, and whenever I did, I always thought about us. It triggered trips down memory lane, and daydreams about the journey that lies ahead of us. Braking for June also encouraged me to pray for him more…to give thanks for us more.
It was just one little word that encouraged me to cherish our bond in a completely different way each day this past year.
That's what choosing a Word Of The Year is all about. You live with it, you let it speak to you…you follow where it leads. There are no rules…it's just supposed to be a little spark.
I've been thinking about my word for 2014 over the past couple of weeks and I'm feeling especially drawn to us-plus lately.
In my mind, that word means a whole-nother year of intentionally treasuring the unity that is us as we prepare, for the first time, to become an us-plus.
Off to write it down in places I'm sure to see it…

Layla, I love your word for 2014 us-plus.Yesterday I put time and prayer in my word for 2014. My word for 2014 is Hope. I have several areas in my life and church and this is the perfect word for me in 2014.I am so happy that when I saw about a word for the New Year I googled and that is how I found your blog and what a blessing it has been to me to find your blog.
Happy New Year Layla and Blessings to You and Yours in 2014.

This is beautiful. Becoming a family is the greatest gift I've ever received in my life. It's challenging at times, but in all those giving and sacrificing I do for my kids, I've found the greatest gift of love and connection.
I was just reading your post from last year and thinking what my word of the year for 2014 would be. I think it's "create," for I'm really trying to let my creative side blossom.
Thanks for sharing and a happy new year!

Love your idea of a word reminder… that word becomes like putting out a stone or marker of God's faithfulness, like the Bible talks of making an Ebenezer to remind us. Love how you treasure June memories and each other. On a similar note, I also love the idea of choosing a life Bible verse or a yearly verse for you or your child as a reminder and an encouragement. So excited for your growing family!
Dawn says:Dec 27, 2013 at 9:55 am
Oh, I just love "Us +"! That is so sweet and unique. I have some thinking to do on what my word will be for this up coming year. Thanks for sharing, Layla!

Love your word Happy and positive and heartwarming!
Jill says:Dec 27, 2013 at 10:52 am
Good idea! I think, before I have had a chance to pray over it, that my 2014 word would be "faith". My daughter and son in law have been unemployed for most of two years now, having lost the job he really liked when the recession and sequestration happened, loss of awarded but not sent contract monies. They have been with me in our small family home all this time. It is hard to have private time for any of us and we live differently. Yet, we must work together to make this work for all. Faith is what is walking me through this time, working hard to preserve our family for when things return to normal again. Whatever normal is!
I have just moved to a new position at work, a cubicle. Once I have prayed this through, I will add that word to the wall there and various places here at home.
What a great idea.
Thank you and Happiest year for the two, nearly three (!) of you.
Lord, add your blessings onto this family, Amen
Lorrie says:Dec 27, 2013 at 10:57 am
What a lovely idea.
Joelle says:Dec 27, 2013 at 10:59 am
I love this! I think it's SO important to remember the "us" every moment of every day. I can feel how 2014 is going to change things for my own marriage, so this is definitely something I'll be thinking about. Thanks for sharing! xoxo
Kathy says:Dec 27, 2013 at 11:22 am
Love the word. It is perfect for you. You have inspired me to have my own word this year. My word for 2014 is "intentional". I never realized until talking to you one day that that word has been running through my thoughts so much lately. I hope in the new year to be "intentional" in slowing down to savor every blessing along the way, listening to the still, small voice that can so easily get drowned out by busyness, and intentional in my attempt to be a blessing to those I encounter. Thank you for the inspiration!
Celeste says:Dec 27, 2013 at 11:27 am
Last year my word was "enough". It was a reminder that what God had put in my life was enough and I didn't need to desire more than that. It has reminded me to be content throughout 2013. There was one area, however, that I found to be not enough…a way to express myself through music. So this year my word of the year will be "explore". I want to explore new ways to grow, develop, and change. I want to thank you for bringing the word of the year concept into my life. It has made me examine areas of my life in a deeper way than a resolution.
Marianne in Mo. says:Dec 27, 2013 at 11:36 am
I doubt you will have to be reminded to think of us+ this year! It will be there every day for you! So exciting to see what the coming year will bring you both!
I thought about my word, and chose hope. I hope my daughter and her family will come home to our state to live, as soon as the Air Force decides where they should go. It WAS a given that they would be here, but now it seems they may not, so I will be praying until we hear the final decision. There is a March deadline, and they will be at the new place by July – hectic for them. I also have hope that this year will be the one where I can finally give up smoking – I've been trying for many years! And hope that I can get back in to a relatively fit shape, which has been hard with nonstop hot flashes! I hope my other daughter can enjoy her new home more, that she takes time for her and her family and not be too busy. Hope my husband has a better year health-wise above all. He's our glue! HOPE – a big word for me!
Brenda says:Dec 27, 2013 at 12:10 pm

Hi, Lynn! I didn't hear about it from either of those folks, but I will have to Google them!
April says:Dec 27, 2013 at 4:35 pm
I do this too! My word for 2013 was "love." It seems so simple but it was amazing how much I learned about this simple word. Sometimes in situations all you can do is love.
Mindy says:Dec 27, 2013 at 5:42 pm

I am mulling my word for the year..thankful keeps coming to mind and I think that is what it must be.. for I have so much to be thankful for. Bless you in the coming year and may it be all you have hoped, prayed, and wished for and more!!

Reading the following devotional from harvest.org will help make sense of the T3 theme.
Thanks for your wonderfully inspiring blog!

What a lovely post. Every time I read a new post, I get all goosey. I am so excited for you, Kev and your whole family. Your "us-plus" includes all of us too. We are giddy, with excitement, over the changes happening in your family. God Bless You, Layla!!!!!! So thankful for your spark of life!!!!!!
My word for 2014 is Finish. As I age, I think more and more about the things I have left unfinished. I want to leave my children with lots of finished items….be it photos, rugs, special stitching, words of love………whatever, It's time to finish what I have started. I love thinking of all the accomplishments I will do this next year. It's a good time to wrap them all up and then be able to coast for awhile.
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!! Xoxoxoxoxo

I can completely relate to June being so meaningful in yours and Kevin's relationship…it is in mine and my husband's too! My birthday is the 18th and my husband's is the 22nd. Our anniversary is the 19th (ours will also be 10 this year!). Father's Day is also sandwiched in there too so it is a whole lot of celebrating us;)! I love how God even cares about the little details!!
I love "Us plus" and can't wait to see what God has in store for your sweet family. God bless!

Re: What are your storyline ideas that would improve WWE?
Overall I think it is a good time for the WWE to do some development on some of the superstars. I believe they should push some who is will to get into CM PUNK's face. Punk is really one of the main ones who have attitude about them, however thou every time I watch RAW I am waiting for Stone Cold or the Rock to walk out lol.
Punk maybe the heel, however someone or WWE in general should be using someone who can get under Punk's skin. They don't need a catch or an character image, it just needs to be some who has that look about them. Just get in the ring loss a few, win a few, however is of a strong character and presents.
I believe the story of Ryback should been along the lines of how Goldberg story unfolded. But my main annoyance is that his finisher is not that devastating. We know he is strong and explosive, but it is like putting a pistol on a tank. It doesnt look that great, but it is impressive how he can lift 3 guys on his back.
The main reason why I am talking about the bigger stars is because most of them are involved in story lines, so that is why I think it would be a good time for a lesser known star to step up to plate and give back some of the attitude. I think Tyson Kidd if given the opportunity could do this. Unfortantly with Punk out of the survivor series match, that could of been the best do this. Kidd in the match and wins by pinning Punk and that could give off a storyline. But that is what I think

Nurse – my birthing kit, please
How many roadside midwives do you know? Such is the description that can be applied to NFI driver Mike Hawthorne of Somerdale, N.J., who delivered the third roadside baby of his trucking career, this time March 28 on I-30 in Texas. Hawthorne's mother and grandmother were midwives, so he learned the basics of delivery in his youth. Since his first delivery in 1999 at the TA East in Ontario, Calif., the two-time TCA Highway Angel has come prepared. In the kit on board the Pete he drives you'll find the items listed above.
He didn't need the shoestring or scissors this time – an ambulance arrived just after delivery. Find the full account in the May 1 entry on overdriveonline.com/channel19.
• Sharp, sterile scissors
• Rubbing alcohol and alcohol swabs
• Suction device to clean mucus from mouth
• Pair of latex gloves
• Shoestring for tying off the umbilical cord.
'Off like the Hindenburg'
A commenter on Overdrive's Facebook page characterized the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's April 19 proposal on sleep apnea as a "trial balloon that went off like the Hindenburg." The proposal asked for comments on proposed mandatory testing of drivers with a body mass index of 35 or greater. Citing a "clerical error," FMCSA withdrew the proposal shortly after posting it. Search "sleep apnea" at OverdriveOnline.com to find the most recent elements of the ongoing coverage of regulatory efforts surrounding the condition, and join in the conversation among readers there.
"Anyone needing this treatment should seek it out. It shouldn't be forced on anyone, as it's expensive and it's not easy to adapt to." – Don Lanier
"My life has been improved in so many ways with sleep apnea under control. But I do not agree with government requiring this testing. More times than not, it is the car driver that needs this test done, not the truck driver they hit."
– John Wilcox
Finally, some respect for bedbugs
Asked on Overdrive's Facebook page for the funniest thing he'd ever seen at a weigh station, owner-operator Robert McConnell didn't hesitate: "Many years ago at a Colorado scale, when you used to have to go in and get your little yellow paper, a fellow mover was there and, when asked what he was hauling, replied, 'Bedbugs.'" A young officer "proceeded to write him up a livestock permit," McConnell added. An older officer let him do it just until he was ready to collect the $5 fee, then explained that "bedbugs" was common slang for household goods. "My friend was bummed," said McConnell, "because he was going to take the permit home and have it framed."
Got a good story to tell yourself?
Share it on Overdrive's Facebook page:
Driver Jim Beine named this Central Point, Ore.-based Oldland Distributing 2001 Peterbilt 379 he drives "Jasmine." It's in honor of Jasmine "Jazzy" Jordan, whose 2009-10 cross-country run raised money and awareness for the St. Christopher Truckers Development and Relief Fund and the health care needs of truckers.
"Any young person who is willing to sacrifice so much to help the American truck driver deserves to be recognized," says Beine.
Since the run, Jordan's had two foot surgeries for bunions that resulted from the run. "I would never regret what I did," says Jordan, who was recovering from her March 2 surgery when she heard about the naming of Beine's rig.

Many people were wondering whether all those TV ads that Democrat Roy Barnes had been running about Republican Nathan Deal were having an effect. Here's one answer – a SurveyUSA poll conducted for 11Alive/13WMAZ/V-103, from the WMAZ website:
A statewide poll conducted for 13WMAZ shows Republican Nathan Deal leading in the race for governor.
In the SurveyUSA poll, Deal had the support of 49 percent of likely voters, Democrat Roy Barnes had 38 percent and Libertarian candidate John Monds had 9 percent.
Four percent of voters in the poll said they were undecided.
The poll's margin of sampling error is plus or minus 4.1 percentage points. The poll was taken Friday through Sunday and the results cover 599 registered voters who said they were likely to vote in the fall election for governor.
The poll also shows that Republicans lead in the top five statewide races on the ballot, including U.S. Senate, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General and School Superintendent.

yep, lmno I've only voted one other democrat (Zel Miller) but looks like the good ol' GA GOP is forcing me to vote Democrat this go around. From what I can tell Barnes has lined his pockets through hard work and not taking advantage of public office. Deal on the other hand well we ALL know!

I know Nathan Deal for the honest hard working man he is as so does his 9th District. That is why all of us so strongly support him. We know him and know that all of the bad things you all are saying about him are not true.

With two horrific candidates, our best hope is that Deal can get elected and then perhaps removed from office. Electing Roy would be the worst way to go.
September 13th, 2010
1:30 pm
Leveraging a report consisting of "inconclusive accusations" issued by the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) – an office created by the democratic controlled Congress, Roy Barnesl continues to promote a "myth" surrounding Nathan Deal's business, Gainesville Salvage Disposal. Barne's attempts to taint Deal's 30-year career of public service to the people of Georgia is a desperate "witch hunt" and the record needs to be set straight. Here is the Rest of the Story.
Deal owns a partnership in a salvage business, Gainesville Salvage Disposal (GSD), and like many other similar businesses did, partnered with the state of Georgia. This NO MONOPOLY, NO CONTRACT arrangement allowed state inspectors to use their facility 2 days a month to conduct vehicle inspections. These inspections were conducted as a means to ensure that rebuilt vehicles that had previously been deemed "totaled" by insurance companies were safe for resale and road use.
GSD, like other similar businesses, provided their facilities to the state inspectors at NO CHARGE. The owner/applicant requesting the inspection would pay an inspection fee for each car inspected. These fees were the only revenue and profit gained from this arrangement with the State.
Following consolidation of departments under Governor Sonny Perdue, this state inspection program was placed under the Revenue Department, headed by Commissioner Bart Graham. The program became an "after thought", and Graham indicated it may be terminated. Following Graham's announcement, the employees of the department; the state inspectors, began contacting Graham in an effort to get clarification about the future of the program. A concerned salvage business owner in Douglasville even posted the commissioner's office phone number on the Internet and encouraged people to contact him directly. Graham did not respond to these requests for clarification.
Nathan Deal was approached by a number of the state inspectors and other salvage business owners requesting his assistance in gaining information from the commissioner regarding the future of the program. Nathan agreed to assist, and his Congressional Chief of Staff arranged the meeting. Since the purpose of this meeting was to inquire about the future of the program and not intended to discuss any kind of business relationship, Nathan's staff did not view use of his Congressional e-mail account to be a "conflict of interest".
At the meeting, Commissioner Graham said he was considering privatizing the program – allowing private companies to re-title these "totaled" cars without a state inspection. Nathan expressed concerns to the commissioner regarding the safety of these vehicles under such a privatized program, since these businesses would have a "profit motive" to simply re-title as many cars as possible. The commissioner went so far as to say that "Safety is not my concern". In a Congressional interview Commissioner Graham stated that safety had never been taken into account under the program. In a Congressional affidavit, the state's top official in the program stated that his boss, Commissioner Graham, was wrong and safety had always been a major concern and priority of inspectors. This same state official elected to take early retirement because of the direction Commissioner Graham was taking the program.
Despite the efforts of Nathan, state inspectors, and other salvage business owners, Commissioner Graham removed all funding for the program from the state budget. Nathan stopped all efforts to see the program continued once this decision was made.
Here are some key facts to consider about these accusations:
It is difficult to argue that Nathan Deal was "bigfooting" state officials as a Congressman, since the commissioner heeded none of Nathan's concerns or suggestions.
Under the new privatized program that Commissioner Graham implemented, Nathan and his business partner could have increased revenues significantly by re-titling cars. These revenues would have far exceeded the small amount (less than 10%) of GSD's revenues generated under the previous inspection program.
Out of concerns about vehicle safety, Nathan and his business partner dissolved their relationship with the program. It should be noted that under Commissioner Graham's new program, it is estimated that 18,000 rebuilt cars are put back on Georgia roads each year without proper inspections.
Nathan Deal has 30 years of public service as an elected official without any accusations of misconduct. He authored Georgia's first ethics law while serving as a State Senator. He has a record of honesty and integrity that has been challenged by "circumstantial evidence", bolstered by political opponents trying to win this race based on false accusations and innuendo.

Barnes was a heap better governor than the guy who beat him, Sonny Perdue, whose rudderless terms have been a disaster. Roy at least has a shot at getting Georgia out of the ditch it was put into by Glenn Richardson and Sonny.

Just ask yourself was this state better off in 2000 or now?
Then ask yourself why Deal resigned rather than answer ethics questions from a bipartisan ethics commission?
Then just for fun take a look at the list of most corrupt congress people…why there's Nathan!

That's quite a long-winded explanation, What We All.
Just one question: why did he take his Washington DC chief of staff to a meeting with state officials who were in charge of his dealings with the state?

As the poster "What we ALL should know…" above points out, the supposed "ethics" complaints against Nathan Deal don't amount to anything else but a State bureaucrat's efforts to keep his phoney baloney job by smearing one of the candidates to replace his boss.
Black Bart, the alleged "Revenue Commissioner" with whom Rep. Deal met, never was qualified for the office he holds, having no education or experience in government before his appointment. He has run the Revenue Department into the ground with his fanatical belief in privatization. Anyone who disagrees with him is a total idiot in his view, fit only to be fired, smeared, and lambasted. As one of the state legislators who had the misfortune to have to deal with him said, "If you could buy Bart for what he's really worth, and sell him for what he thinks he's worth, you'd have it made."
Appointment of unqualified fanatics to high state jobs calls the judgement of George "Sonny" Perdue severely into question. Thank goodness Black Bart will be unemployed before long no matter who the next Guvna is.

Then let's hope the federal grand jury will hurry up and figure out what they're going to do. I would rather it comes out now than after he gets elected, as honestly Casey Cagle isn't much of a backup plan. I'd rather have Barnes with a republican legislature (even if the vast majority of those jokers are just as corrupt as Deal) than Deal or Cagle.

I do know that "the list" of the most corrupt we have seen posted on these blogs was compiled by a left wing group. I predict that there will be NO idictment and that this entire episode is nothing more than democratic party tactics. Barnes has attempted to use this against Deal and I don"t believe it is working.

It was a long comment to include the FACTS which certain news outlets either refuse to print or aren't aware of. To answer your question with a question, have you ever met with a Congressman? Every time I've met with one he or she has come with the COS, and/or other staff. They take the notes, gather the info and usually are the ones that the Congressman has do the work. In other words they are invaluable to a person who may have as many as 10 meetings a day.

It's just my opinion but I think Nathan Deal is useless. I don't think Roy Barnes is any better either. I live in the district that Nathan Deal has been the U.S. Rep for the last 18 years. I can't name a single thing he has ever done in my area (Dalton/Chatsworth). Maybe there are some things but I don't know of them. Nathan Deal talks about getting tuff on the illegals and he has been the Rep for the 2 cities in GA with the highest % of illegals (Dalton & Gainesville). I think he is lower than a snake.
I think Roy Barnes is just as low. Roy endorsed Kaseem Reed in the Atlanta Mayors race for one reason and that was to get the black vote. I think kaseem is doing a great job but to endorse someone for a racial reason I think is Wrong.

God help us! I hope they were polling people in nursing homes suffering from dementia! Barnes is a dud but he probably will do less harm.

Hard to believe that it's even that close. "King Roy" was fired by Georgia voters after serving one term. No second chance will be given, glad he apologized and claimed to have learned his lesson but I doubt it's going to matter on election day.
If it was up to only voters in the Atlanta area he may have a chance but the rest of the state doesn't suffer from memory loss.
IMO – Perdue has been a good governor – as indicated by his two terms.
Barnes – not again, no way, no how. The 38% that support him – why? Voting along party lines I would imagine.

Was I better off in 2000? Yes, I was better off in 2006 as well. The country was better off in 200-2006 BEFORE Roy Barnes Democrat friends took control of the U S Congress and along with his man, Barack Obama, began to systematically destroy the free enterprise system and install Government run Medical Insurance.
Never forget Roy Barnes sued the State of Georgia over the law requiring a photo ID to vote. One has to have a photo ID to sign loan documents, to buy a bottle of booze or a drink, to cash a check, to go through Airport Security, to buy a cell phone, but Roy thinks it's a bit too much to ask for photo ID to vote???? The same folks buying the liquor, borrowing money, cashing checks, and buying cell phones suddenly are infringed upon to show that same ID to vote?
This is the same Roy Barnes who broke ground, stuck the shovel in the ground himself mind you, in Pooler for a Mercedes Benz plant aobut three weeks before the election he lost. I've talked to people in the area, there aren't many Mercedes Benz automobiles rolling off that assembly plant, as a matter of fact the plant was never built. Maybe Roy can explain that one while he's defending suing the state over the voter ID law.
Nathan Deal is the Republican nominee because whoever ran Karen Handel's campaign has to be one of the dumbest political consultants in campaign history.

Even a 7-9% vote for Monds would send a message that the 2 party choke-hold is tenuous. They'll be forced to pay attention, if for no other reason than survival.

I also live in Mr. Deal's district, and I do support him as our governor. He is so humble, at times too humble! He is a good man who will do everything in his power to be the kind of leader that Ga. needs.

Nathan Deal is a corrupt relic of Washington DC. Even his own ad was a lie. You know the one where he exploited his grandchildren. He tells his grandchild that he is running for Governor because "The folks in Washington DC are spending too much money". That would be all well and good if he was running for congress, but he is not. In fact, he quit his congressional job where he actually had an input on federal spending to avoid answering ethics questions and is running for Governor where he has no voice on Federal Spending. Lying to his own Grandchildren for political gain. Using his political power for financial gain. The guy is a piece of crap, through and through.

Nathan may have some questions about his background but I wouldn't call him corrupt. Barnes screwed Georgia up and is arrogant and has even sued the state for clients as a lawyer so all of you Liberal losers can move when Nathan whips Barnes arse!!!

The WSJ had a piece today about Democrats running away from Barack Obama:
But the prize goes to former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes, vying to get his old job back: Not only is ObamaCare "financially devastating," it is "the greatest failure, modern failure, of political leadership in my lifetime."
Funny thing: I never recall Barnes saying anything of the kind until now. Last election he was depicted as a Rat. Maybe now he should be shown as a chameleon.

If Deal is so corrupt, then why doesn't the "ethically pure" Democrat Party get him legally indicted? They've tried to get the" ethically pure, non-partisan" media to do it. Perhaps, they are too busy avoiding the real story of Fat Boy Barney, Creepy Chris and Pretty Boy Geitner's financial shenanigans that really led to the current financial meltdown. Does Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae ring a bell? No thanks, one dose of Barnes should be enough for anyone.

Sucklord's Dunny 2012 design... revealed!!!
Clutter have just dropped info on the case exclusive Dunny designed by the one and only Sucklord. As speculated before, we weren't sure if this was going to be one of Sucklord's "Dumny" figures or an official Dunny... and it looks like it's a mixture of both... as Kidrobot went and re-sculpted the head. Not quite sure what's going on with the body... but it appears to be a stormtrooper'ish type of belt. Can't wait to see the actual figure! Thoughts?

Pinoy in Singapore
Singapore is made up of not just one island but a main island with 63 surrounding islets. The main island has a total land area of 682 square km.
However, its compact size belies its economic growth. In just 150 years, Singapore has grown into a thriving centre of commerce and industry. Its former role as an entrepot has diminished, as the nation has increased its manufacturing base.
Singapore is the busiest port in the world with over 600 shipping lines sending super tankers, container ships and passenger liners to share the busy waters with coastal fishing vessels and wooden lighters.

Fascination is an understatement of the feeling that one gets by visiting Manila, a lively metropolis commanding a magnificent view of the world-famous Manila Bay and its golden sunset. Historic, bustling, awe-inspiring, the "Philippine Cosmopolitan Capital" is a blend of cultures and flavors that offers an endless serving of places to see, sights to behold, and experiences to never forget.

Send Him to Boot Camp! Basic Training All New Dads Need
Boot Camp
For nearly all new fathers, the joy of that magical moment when they hold their tiny, crying, red-faced little miracle for the first time is tempered by an unsettling question: Now what do I do?
Boot Camp for New Dads (BCND), a California-based organization dedicated to creating a vibrant, new culture of fatherhood throughout America, offers an answer to that question. And new dads will be thrilled to hear that the answer won't come in the form of 200 pages of single-spaced scholarbabble—it comes in the form of straight talk from real fathers living in their area.
During the last 15 years, BCND programs have been held at hospitals, community centers, and US military bases in 39 states and overseas. Generally, programs include discussion between a coach, three or four veteran dads ("veteran dad," in this case, denotes a father with a child aged zero to a few months old), and a number of expectant fathers.
Roughly one-third to one-half of the rookies return to BCND to serve as veterans for the next class of rookies after their children are born.

The value of the church often cannot be measured.
Many of the parishioners who attend St. Mary's Catholic Church in Pinconning said Thursday night it's hard to believe their place of worship will soon be closed.
"My kids were baptized there, and a couple of my grandkids have been baptized there, and married also there," said Becky Chomas, a St. Mary's Parishioner.
"It's part of the family," said Cheryl Sequin, who also attends St. Mary's.
About 50 catholic churches in the Saginaw Diocese could be shuttered for good by 2015. When they close, Parishioners will move to St. Michael's 10 miles away. On Thursday, Sequin and her son attended the 'Holy Hour' at St. Michael's, led by Bishop Joseph Cistone. Sequin joined many others from all over Mid-Michigan to pray for a miracle for their churches, and share their concerns with the plans to reorganize the Diocese.
"There's got to be another way. Don't close our church," said Sequin.
Our cameras were not allowed inside St. Michael's Church on Thursday night, but as people came and went, it's clear there are a lot of mixed feelings about the Bishop's plans.
"It's the reality, and it's God's way of getting us together and keeping us together, and it's a tough job that the Bishop has had to do," said Chuck Zemanek, who came to support the Bishop from Midland on Thursday.
"We were raised to respect the Priest and respect the Bishop, but my gosh, the things that have been going on," said Alice Stricker, who came in from Saginaw and said she's not happy with the changes.
Bishop Cistone said he understands the emotions this reorganization is creating.
"It's very very hard, and I do understand it, it just tugs at my own heart when I listen to them express their sadness and concern. I wish there were an easier way. I listen to their feelings, and I have to weigh it against the facts and the reality we're facing as a church," said Cistone.
As the transition begins and churches begin to close, some believe it'll make the church better, others are concerned it'll break it.
"I'm considering not even going to church anymore," said Sequin.

Parents can rest assured their kids are playing safely at Diverzion Kids. For one, the climate-controlled play arena keeps children active and occupied even if the outdoors are made inhospitable by pouring rain or sweltering heat. Also, the staffers keep a watchful eye on sock-footed moppets as they gambol on bounce houses and slides, but just in case they blink, a security camera system serves as a backup measure. Meanwhile, birthday boys and girls celebrate with the friends in private rooms and regular visitors clamber around obstacles and rack up high scores in the arcade.
At Pole Dance Miami, honored as 2010's Best Gym Alternative in the Miami New Times and featured on NBC Channel 6, dance poles host a dizzying array of spins and twists in more than 40 weekly classes that unite high-flying exercise with feminine sensuality. Passionate instructors lead one-hour classes in sundry styles for patrons of all skill levels, from the sultry sways of Beginner 1 to the Vixen class's foxy spin combos. The fuchsia studio's floor-to-ceiling wall of mirrors assists patrons in achieving proper form during mat stretches and twists, and its hardwood floors are tuned to make pitch-perfect music when struck with stiletto heels. Ladies can flock to the studio en masse for pole parties, during which instructors lead partygoers in basic moves to celebrate bachelorette parties, birthday parties, or high-noon tea parties.
At Action Town Florida, battles take place with paint, lasers, and putters. A professional paintball team designed the outdoor paintball arena, which sprawls across 2 acres and encompasses urban-warfare and garage areas. Area 51, the laser-tag arena, fuels competition with high-tempo music and glow-in-the-dark obstacles. The nine-hole miniature golf course also glows in the dark, offering a helpful way to distinguish between real obstacles and imaginary friends' heads. Action Town Florida also fills its facility with arcade games, bumper cars, and climbing walls, as well as a bounce-house city with very reasonable property taxes. Its party packages give guests a taste of all offerings, along with refreshments and food.

At CinéBistro, a luxurious dining theater, patrons settle into wide cushioned seats as they watch the latest action flicks and comedies flicker on the silver screen. Viewing companions alternate drawing buttery, salty puffed maize out of a shared tub of popcorn, hoping to find Gene Hackman's golden business card buried somewhere inside. Although not included with this Groupon, CinéBistro serves seated cinema aficionados a wide menu of appetizers, entrees, and desserts to complement their popcorn, from a caesar salad for a light meal ($10.75) to a pan-seared Atlantic salmon cooked to order ($19.50). Dessert indulgences include a deconstructed peanut-butter pie ($8), and liquid indulgences proffer a wine list full of international vintages to guzzle during foreign movies, as well as domestic and imported beers, martinis, and cocktails.

While the first version of iOS 7 will arrive for end-users next week, Apple is already well into testing for iterative updates to the revamped operating system. According to web analytics for 9to5Mac, Apple employees seem to already be testing iOS 7.0.1, iOS 7.0.2, and iOS 7.1. While we cannot absolutely confirm that these tests are occurring inside Apple, it seems likely based on the cities in which these operating systems are being tested. Apple's headquarters is in Cupertino, California, and we are seeing these views from these unreleased operating systems from both Cupertino and surrounding areas.
Based on Apple's past release history, iOS 7.0.1 and iOS 7.0.2 are designed as successive bug fix updates, while iOS 7.1 could bring either new functionality or support for new hardware. Apple typically releases bug fixes updates within a few weeks following a major iOS launch, so it is somewhat unsurprising to see Apple employees already testing the new versions. Based on Apple preparing new models of iPad hardware for the later this fall, perhaps the iOS 7.1 update is designed to launch on that new hardware. We previously reported that the new iPads will run a successive update to iOS 7.0. Perhaps backing this up is that all signs of iOS 7.1 testing in our analytics have been conducted on iPads.

A national public health campaign will run in all community pharmacies in Wales from Thursday 1 May to Saturday 31 May 2013 to raise awareness about the causes of skin cancer, how to recognise the symptoms, and what steps people can take to reduce their risk.
During May, community pharmacies across Wales will engage with people who are at greater risk of getting skin cancer to advise them on the steps they can take to reduce their risk, like seeking shade in the middle of the day, and keeping a high SPF sunscreen topped up.
Skin cancer is now one of the most common types of cancer in people between the ages of 15 to 34. Early diagnosis has a big impact on skin cancer survival rates, but many people - particularly older people and men - delay seeking advice if they are worried.
Andrew Evans, Principal Pharmacist for Public Health Wales, said: "In 2011 over 700 people in Wales were diagnosed with malignant melanoma, and every year around 100 people will die from the condition. There is so much we can do to save lives by getting the message across that detecting cancer early has a huge impact on people's chances of survival.
"Pharmacies are a great place to get this message across, because we can meet face-to-face with people who are visiting their pharmacist to get ready for the summer sun – especially people who are displaying high-risk behaviour by wearing low factor sunscreen or staying out in the midday sun.
"By working with Community Pharmacy Wales and Tenovus on this campaign, Public Health Wales can help people avoid skin cancer, and raise awareness of the symptoms to aid early detection."
Chris James, Chair of Community Pharmacy Wales and a Director of Walter Lloyd Pharmacy in Carmarthen said "Community pharmacies are well placed to share these important messages about the risks of skin cancer from the summer sun as so many customers turn to their local pharmacy for sunscreen products. Working with Public Health Wales and Tenovus will enable the whole Welsh community pharmacy network to focus the attention of the public on how best to protect themselves from this killer disease"
Tenovus quote>
The main sun safety messages being promoted during this campaign are that people should:
• Seek shade and cover-up between 11am and 3pm
• Wear a sunscreen with a high Sun Protection Factor – at least SPF15, but preferably higher
• Apply sunscreen about 30 minutes before going out
• Reapply sunscreen every two hours
During the campaign, members of the public visiting pharmacies will be invited to take a quiz to assess their usual behaviour in the sun as well as their awareness of how to reduce their risk of skin cancer.
Tenovus, Wales' leading cancer charity, has also developed a mole checker which will be on display in pharmacies to enable people to reassure themselves that a blemish on their skin is not malignant, or alert them to something that may need to be looked into further.
The campaign is organised by the seven health boards, Public Health Wales and Community Pharmacy Wales and is actively supported by Tenovus.
I do not know about skin cancer and its causes. But I have been suffering from it and I feel I just read a good one.

Re: The 2012 MOTYC thread
About NJPW G1 Climax Night 4 (8/5/12)
Out of all the matches, the three MOTYCs were as Seab said, Shelton/Anderson, Yano/Suzuki, and Okada/Nakamura. Which is funny, because two of these matches were heel vs heel, a so called no-no in promotions like WWE.
I was REALLY surprised by Shelton/Anderson. It was such a quick match, but fun one nonetheless. It even told a story, one that definitely benefited both wrestlers even if one ultimately won. It made Shelton look like a athletic beast, and Anderson a underdog with a very dangerous weapon. The ending caught me by surprise because you don't see spots like that very often in NJPW, but it's been done plenty of times in WWE. But the difference in how NJPW did it was that it wasn't just a cool moment; it was also a "snatching victory from the jaws of defeat" moment. It fit the story to a tee. So yeah, it didn't set the world on fire, but I'd recommend it. Definitely a four star.
Yano Toru vs Minoru Suzuki was just plain awesome. Part of the remarkable thing about this match and Nakamura/Okada is that it was a heel vs heel match. Yes, Japanese fans don't cater to the whole face/heel dynamic as much as Western fans do, and they were siding with Yano throughout, but still, both wrestlers played up their character specific heel antics throughout this match. Yano was trolling hard, Suzuki aimed to make him pay big time. There were so many hilarious and great moments in this match from beginning to end. The near count-out (a serious taste of your own medicine moment), Yano apologizing, and of course, the reactions to the ending. This match was definitely a highlight of the G1 Climax tourney, and is well worth watching.
And then there was the battle for CHAOS supremacy. Ok, not yet, but it will happen next year IMO. Nakamura vs Okada was expected to be fantastic. And it was, for the reasons I expected. The character quirks, the tension (even though they are in the same stable), the one-upmanship, and of course, the finishing stretch. It was Nakamura being Nakamura, and Okada being Okada. I wouldn't want it any other way.
Out of these three, bias aside, I think Yano/Suzuki was the best match.
Marking for: Roman Reigns

First State Geology has been the newsletter of DGS for over 25 years.
Click here to signup!
The latest news and activities from the DGS and our federal and state partners.
Since 1992, the Delaware Geological Survey (DGS) has compiled a geologic database known as the Delaware Offshore Geologic Inventory (DOGI) that consists of sediment samples, radiocarbon and amino acid racemization dates, seismic profiles, and vibracores taken from the nearshore and inner continental shelf in state and federal waters. Most of the 366 vibracores are stored at the DGS on-site core and sample repository.
To understand the effects of projected increased demands on ground water to supply water, a finite-difference, steady-state, nine-layer, groundwater flow model was used to simulate groundwater flow in the Coastal Plain sediments of southern New Castle County, Delaware. Results are published in DGS RI77
The Delaware DataMIL collects, maps, and serves Delaware's Spatial Data Framework, or basic map datasets, on which state agencies, local and county governments, academic GIS users, and the private sector can use for their own needs. DataMIL also provides access for Delaware topographic maps that replace the old USGS 7.5-minute topographic maps for the State.

..I got my White 2 version when it came out last October and I have not finished it? I stopped played when I got to Skyla's gym because I was in the process of moving at the time. When I moved and things got calm and in order, I had lost interest in finishing it. I feel ashamed!!!!
But I picked it up again and I'm training to battle Skyla. My team is Vibrava, Ampharos, Jolteon, Mightyena, Samurott & Gigalith.
I'm the type of trainer who always has her team in rotation and train all of my Pokemon in my current team at the same time. Depends on what I'm going up against, I switch teams. Doesn't matter if the levels are very low. I'll train until I reach the levels I have to.
Example; I catch a Mareep, very low level and I know I'm going up against Skyla, I'll put Mareep on my team and train until its level is high enough. Even if Mareep is level 6, I'll train, I won;t care how long it takes me. :)
I hate when that happens
I envy you.

Nike Air Force 180 – Black – Black – "Meteorite"
April 1st, 2009 by X | 1 comment
Nike will be releasing another Air Force 180 in a Black on Black colorway that some are calling the "Meteorite" colorway because of the colorway and the speckled midsole. The shoe's Black nubuck upper gives the shoe a great feel to it. Additionally the speckled midsole is always a favorite, especially amongst sneakerheads. If only Sir Charles wore these when he played, we're sure this shoe would've been a huge hit, none the less it's out now at select Nike retailers and you can pick them up now. via Sneaker Freaker

Michigan Says, 'Sorry We Slapped Your Wrist Too Hard': Winners and Losers of the Week
In our regular weekly feature, we'll be taking a look at the winners and losers of the week in the struggle for the rights of working families. The winners will be the persons or organizations that go above and beyond to expand or protect the rights of working families, while the losers will be whoever went above and beyond to limit or deny those rights.
Winners: Michigan teachers, who massively rejected a big push from the extreme right-wing Mackinac Center for Public Policy for them to opt out of paying union dues under new "right to work" rules in the state.
Runners-Up: The cities of Sequim and Shelton, Wash., which fought back local right to work efforts funded by the American Legislative Exchange Council.More ...
