Luis Suarez ups his ante to exit Liverpool
Jul 14, 2013, 10:40 AM EDT
First, Luis Suarez didn't want to leave Liverpool because he could no longer take the British media, saying they don't treat him well and he "[doesn't] feel comfortable here any more."
Most took this as Suarez' intent not only to leave Liverpool, but the Premier League as well.
But now that may not be the case with the Uruguayan claiming that his ambition is driving him to move to a more competitive club than Liverpool.
"I always want to improve," Suarez said. "That's why I left Ajax for Liverpool."
One of Suarez' new sticking points for a move is the opportunity to play in the Champions League. "[T]his club needs to fight to enter the Champions League and, when it doesn't happen, it damages the morale of any player. So I've suffered."
Suarez also noted his desire to compete domestically, saying, "[it] is hard to view the Premier League every week with never a chance of winning it."
For Liverpool, these words will serve to infuriate.
Not only do the Reds have Champions League and domestic title ambitions, but the storied club has been nothing but supportive of the controversial striker, steadfastly backing him in everything from his 2011-12 race incident with Patrice Evra (which earned him an eight match ban) to his 2012-13 arm biting incident of Branislav Ivanovic (from which he's currently serving a 10 match ban).
Up until this point, Liverpool have been staunch in their refusal to sell their star goal-scorer despite rampant transfer speculation.
So, will Suarez' new soundbite be enough to force Liverpool to cut the cord and sell him?
It's a tough call.
On one hand his talent is so extraordinary that he's worth keeping, even in a disgruntled state. On the other hand, there comes a point where Liverpool has to save face, sell the nuisance and put this drama to bed.
Just don't expect Liverpool – regardless of what Suarez hints at in his comments – to be so unlearned as to sell him to another Premier League club.

New details of U.K. plan to monitor nation's Internet activities revealed
A man uses a computer at a shop in central London on Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2012. (AP Photo/Sang Tan)
The Associated Press
Published Tuesday, February 5, 2013 11:38AM EST
LONDON -- British intelligence agencies are planning to install an unspecified number of spy devices along Britain's telecommunications network so they can monitor Britons' interactions with overseas services such as Facebook and Twitter, according to lawmakers.
The devices are intended as a lynchpin of a nationwide surveillance plan intended to log nearly everything Britons do online -- from Skype calls to instant messages to visits to pornographic websites.
Some new details have been unveiled in a parliamentary report published Tuesday.
The report says the devices would rely on "Deep Packet Inspection," so-called because it allows those intercepting the data to comb through its content.
Authorities say the government aims to gather information about the data's sender, its recipients, and time and location information associated with both.

145 four-credit courses modified to three
As students register for classes, many may notice courses previously listed as four credit hours now count as only three.
About 145 previously four-credit hour courses starting in Summer 2013 have been modified to three credit hours in an attempt to streamline the university's course offerings with the state's common course catalog.
USF Provost Ralph Wilcox said at the last Faculty Senate meeting that USF currently offers "somewhere in the vicinity of 300 courses for more than three credit hours that are often three credit hours at other universities across the system."
The courses, he said, share the same content, prerequisites and learning outcomes, but are counted differently at other universities, sometimes causing confusion for students who transfer credits.
"The genesis comes from the increasing scrutiny and oversight we're feeling from Washington, Tallahassee and (SACS) Atlanta," Wilcox said. "... We need to align ourselves with reality and restore this institution and the academy to some semblance of integrity."
After emailing college deans with a list of the courses in question, 145 courses, including Business and Life Science Calculus courses, Intro to Statistics, several history, art and classics courses, were changed to three credit hour courses and about 120 are still pending further review.
Wilcox said four-credit courses often "screw up" student scheduling, resulting in additional costs, excess hours and a prolonged stay at the university.
Some of the credits, he said, did not follow state guidelines and came about as a result of USF's switch from trimesters to quarters and then to semesters.
Some faculty at the meeting questioned whether changing the credits would prolong the time needed to degree completion or what the academic reasoning behind changing credit hours were.
Emanuel Donchin, a professor in the department of psychology and a member of the Faculty Senate, questioned the similarity of the courses offered in the common course catalog, stating that even within his department different faculty offered different teaching based on the same textbook, and said he found "the notion that we should drive our academic plans" to match the state centralized catalog to be "ridiculous."
Wilcox said while the university did not have an academic argument for reducing the number of credit hours, it would not have much impact on graduation time.
"You can divide 120 by four or three, it's the same (number of total credits)," he said.
Another faculty member stated one could take a 20 mg prescription of a medicine or a 30 mg prescription and have a different end effect.

Burner's odds in 8th improve, says expert
Posted by David Postman
The respected Cook Political Report has reclassified the 8th District race between Congressman Dave Reichert, R-Auburn, and Democrat Darcy Burner. The experts there had listed the race as "Lean Republican" and now it is a "Toss Up."

Reichert gets Dems help on wilderness bill
Posted by David Postman
Washington's greenest Democratic congressman has signed on to a proposal by Republican Rep. Dave Reichert to expand the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area. Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Bainbridge Island, became a co-sponsor yesterday. Reichert's office says that Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Bremerton, also signed on last night.
Reichert's bill has been praised by some environmentalists and by the P-I's Joel Connelly.
Connelly's pleased to see Inslee and Dicks joining Reichert on the bill.
Bipartisan cooperation is a tradition in major Northwest land-use decisions, never more than in legislation that created the 393,000 wilderness in the "land of 600 lakes" between Stevens and Snoqualmie Passes.
A pair of Democrats, Rep. Lloyd Meeds and Sen. Henry Jackson, shepherded the Alpine Lakes legislation through Congress. GOP Rep. Joel Pritchard debunked opposition from U.S. Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz. And then-Gov. Dan Evans used an Oval Office meeting to persuade President Gerald Ford to sign the bill.
But supporters of
the campaign Reichert's Democratic opponent, Darcy Burner, and her amen bloggers have called the bill a cynical attempt at green-washing.
UPDATE: Burner's campaign says I was wrong about what I originally wrote above. Spokesman Sandeep Kaushik said that Burner did not question Reichert's motive in introducing his wilderness bill. He's right. The statement she released last fall didn't do that directly. But it did raise a clear question about Reichert's commitment to the environment, saying that his proposal was "the equivalent of focusing on a tree while losing sight of the fact that the forest is being chopped down around you."
Even some environmentalists thought Burner was being critical of Reichert. At Sightline Daily, Eric De Place wrote last fall that "presumptive challenger Darcy Burner attacked Reichert for playing politics" in introducing the bill.
In last fall's statement, Burner talked about the importance of saving wilderness and criticized Reichert for not supporting a Democratic proposal to protect roadless wilderness areas. She said:
Now I hear that Congressman Reichert, who is not even sure yet that global warming exists, intends to begin portraying himself as going 'green.' He is telling the press that he would like to consider designating some 26,000 acres of federal land of the Pratt River Valley a wilderness area. Many in the environmental community would like to see this area conserved and so would I. So I applaud Congressman Reichert for taking a small step in the direction of wilderness conservation.
But I would also hope that he would join so many of his colleagues in co-sponsoring the bipartisan Cantwell-Inslee legislation. Otherwise, his willingness to consider protecting one small area while threatening 2 million acres elsewhere in the state is the equivalent of focusing on a tree while losing sight of the fact that the forest is being chopped down around you.
And in a follow-up today, the same point was made again by Kaushik:
When you consider more closely the totality of Congressman Reichert's record and statements on the environment, and take a look at who his campaign backers are, a much more mixed view of his environmental record comes into focus.
More after the jump.

Lobo basketball fans are returning to The Pit Tuesday night to see the team take on Utah State. This, just a few days after a UNM fan threw a cup at another team's player.
On Saturday, a fan threw a cup of liquid at a San Diego State basketball player during the game. Now, UNM is warning fans that this behavior will not be tolerated.
On Monday, KOB Eyewitness News 4 got a statement from Mike Haggerty, the assistant athletic director for events. Haggerty wrote, in part: "The vast majority of Lobo fans are terrific and do things the right way, and we greatly appreciate them. However, we would also like to remind fans that this type of behavior will not be tolerated."
UNM athletic officials told us they think they have the person responsible for the incident. The university received a lot of help from fans in the stands who witnessed the act.
Fans can report any misconduct during games by sending a text message to 78247.

IIP likely hit 11-month high in October
BANGALORE (Reuters) - India's industrial production index rose at its fastest annual pace in nearly a year in October, after unexpectedly contracting in September, aided by a statistical spurt in infrastructure-related output, a Reuters poll found.
The index of industrial production (IIP) probably grew 4.5 percent annually in October, after contracting by 0.4 percent in September, according to a survey of 25 economists.
While such a positive number could bring much-needed relief to a battered economy, economists warn it would not imply a sustainable turnaround ahead.
Many analysts are attributing positive factory output growth in October to a weak statistical base from a year ago when it shrank 5 percent, rather than an improvement in actual production.
"To be completely frank, it is not that industry has recovered in a big way," said Vishnu Varathan, economist at Mizuho Corporate Bank.
"Its a very, very light incremental boost despite how the headline numbers look ... because base effects account for the lion's share there."
Industrial output has averaged a meagre 0.4 percent so far in 2012 and even the expected 4.5 percent growth for October would be a far cry from the double-digit rates witnessed before the onset of the global financial crisis in 2008.
"We are not looking at growth of more than 2 percent in the industrial sector for the entire year," said Madan Sabnavis, an economist at CARE Ratings.
"Growth has bottomed out, there will only be a gradual improvement."
A 6.5 percent year-on-year growth in India's October infrastructure output or core sector output, which accounts for about 40 percent of total industrial output, will buoy the overall number.
Weak demand from the country's top export destinations, the United States and Europe, resulted in a 1.6 percent drop in India's October exports.
Such a performance would be far behind that of Asian rival China where factory output growth for the same month rose at a faster-than-expected 9.6 percent annually.
Last week, data showed that annual economic growth continued to languish at a near three-year low of 5.3 percent in the quarter to September, keeping the economy on track to record its worst year in a decade.

On Saturday evening and early Sunday we had reports of theft of a bike (since recovered), plus a person seen in gardens on Hightown Road, with multiple garden gates opened.
It was described as "scary opening the door to see somebody staring back at you".
Police attended and searched the area.
Just up the road the picnic tables outside the Green Dragon have had their wooden tops smashed off and the benches turned over around the same time.
One was dumped on the pavement by pedestrian crossing so making it difficult for people to use the footpath.

Vinyl vehicle wraps and signage on your fleet vehicles are great mobile advertisements for your business. But removing the signage before you sell the vehicle can be a royal pain in the seat cushion. Outsource it or do it in-house, it could cost you $200 and up to take one off.
David Ziker of Ziker Cleaners and Uniforms in South Bend, Ind. has a great idea: he rents a portable electric or gas heater, like a mini version of the type used on the sidelines of a football game on a cold day. (You can rent a 10 to 30 KW heater for $40 to $80 a day.) He puts the heater inside his van and heats the metal until it's hot to the touch. This takes about a half hour if it's not too cold out. The vinyl peels off easily.
This technique works excellent for cargo vans and box trucks, provided the walls of the truck are metal. The surface must be metal and heated on the opposite side of the signage; you can't aim it directly at the sign.
Therefore it won't work for cars and pickups but works great for cargo vans and box trucks with metal walls.
If anyone uses this trick let me know how it works out!

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

London fails to hit breast cancer screening targets - with wealthy boroughs worst hit
Published: 03 March 2014
Updated: 10:03, 03 March 2014
London is the only region in England failing to hit minimum targets for breast cancer screening.
Figures show that the NHS is performing more mammograms every year but is not keeping pace with the increase in the capital's population.
The performance is worst in two of the most affluent boroughs — Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster — with a screening rate well below the minimum standard of inviting 70 per cent of women aged 50 to 70 for a test every three years.
Dr Caitlin Palframan, of Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said: "We'd like local authorities in London to consider the reasons for this inequality and work towards improving uptake in the region." The figures, from the Health and Social Care Information Centre, reveal screening rates in 2012/13 in Kensington and Chelsea of 58.3 per cent and in Westminster of 59.1 per cent.
Other poor performers were Camden, Hammersmith and Fulham and Lambeth. Only in 10 of the capital's 31 NHS areas was the target reached, with the best performance in Bexley, where the rate was 77.9 per cent.
The city-wide average was 68.7 per cent, the only region in England to fail to achieve the required minimum.
In the three years to March 31 last year, 461,715 Londoners were screened, up 14,000 on the previous year's cumulative figure, but not enough to keep pace with the rising numbers of women eligible for screening. In 2012/13, 228,955 women were screened in London for breast cancer, with tumours being found on 1,909 occasions.

Man beaten by Egypt police shown on TV blaming protesters
CAIRO (Reuters) - A man who was beaten and dragged across the ground naked by Egyptian riot police during a demonstration on Friday was shown on state television blaming the incident on demonstrators.
A video of Hamada Saber, 48, being beaten with truncheons by helmeted police has infuriated the opposition, which accuses President Mohamed Mursi of ordering a harsh crackdown on protests two years after the uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
Mursi's government has announced an investigation into the incident, which came at the end of eight days of violent protests that saw nearly 60 people killed, the deadliest unrest of his seven months in office.
State television aired overnight a recording of Saber, lying on bed in a police hospital, giving his account of the incident, in which he blamed protesters for stripping and robbing him.
It was not clear how his account could be reconciled with the widely seen footage, which clearly showed police beating him with truncheons and dragging him naked across a road.
Saber said he had seen a crowd running and then felt himself shot in the leg.
"I fell over, I failed to stand up again, then they surrounded me in a circle and attacked me," he said. The interviewer asked if he was referring to the demonstrators, and he answered: "Yes I am. They took my clothes off, maybe they were looking for money in my pockets. Then someone among them shouted: 'He is not a soldier. He is not a soldier, he is an old man and you are going to kill him.'
"The soldiers ran towards me. I was afraid of them, but they were saying, 'We will not beat you'. I swear to God this is what happened. I kept on running. They said again: 'Do not be afraid.' I kept running away and they said, 'We are exhausted because of you'."
Egypt's prosecutors' office has released a statement saying Saber denied that police had hit him. That statement was received angrily by the opposition which suspects the authorities of intimidating him to exonerate the police.
"That a citizen be dragged in a public space is a crime against humanity. That he be forced to amend his testimony before the Public Prosecution is tyranny. It has dire consequences for justice," Nasser Amin, a prominent lawyer and campaigner for judicial independence said on Twitter.

The bong-toss case against Amanda Bynes will be dismissed if she stays out of trouble for six months and goes to counseling.
A Manhattan judge on Friday allowed the adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, which means the troubled actress does not have to admit guilt. She must attend counseling twice a week for six months.
The "Hairspray" actress didn't appear in court. An affidavit filed on her behalf by attorney Gerald Shargel said she understood the agreement.
Bynes was charged last spring with reckless endangerment and marijuana possession after building managers called police because they said she was smoking pot in the lobby of her Manhattan apartment. When officers entered her 36th-floor apartment, they said they saw her heave a bong out the window.

OPRF, Beye grad opening yoga studio in Oak Park
By Terry Dean
A new Oak Park yoga studio opens this week, and its founder is a former Oak Park and River Forest High School graduate. Ahimsa Yoga Studio, 441 South Blvd., opens on May 26. Owner Kelly Merydith, 23, is also a Beye Elementary School grad.
Opening a yoga studio, though, was not part of her original career plans. The Northeastern University (Boston) grad was pursuing finance and marketing. She took up yoga during her internship at a downtown Chicago investment firm to relieve stress.
After graduating from college in May 2010, Merydith ditched looking for an investment job and took classes to become a yoga trainer, using her personal savings to launch the yoga studio.
Her father, Chuck Merydith, has been helping spread the word, including emails to local media. According to his daughter's business website, www.ahimsaoakpark.com, the studio's name (ah-HIM-suh) "is a sanskrit term that means nonviolence or non-harming in thought or deed."

John M., It is unfortunate that some one picks on a very positive thing like this to pick apart those in the village that care. Those that care about things such as our schools and the businesses that are a part of our neighborhood. I could empty a truck load of criticism on you but that is not what the residents of Oak Park are about. I am sure I will brush by you as you enjoy the services that Oak Park has to offer our friends in the city. I wish this new Yoga venture great sucess.

Great! Love to see young entrepreneurs pursuing their goals. Maybe all the Doopers who contort themselves into pretzel logic conundrums over everything from open campus issues at the HS to what to eat in the Shaker building to the length of their neighbor's grass can unwind in the yoga studio. I'd love to open a studio featuring classes on logic and priority setting on public issues, but I'd starve. Sanity & reason left D.O.O.P. a long time ago...

South Ken luxury shop rents soaring
Related Articles
Published: 24 January 2012
A bidding war by luxury goods brands including Gucci and Tom Ford has hit south Kensington, the latest area in London where rents have been driven up by the insatiable hunger of the world's designer fashion groups.
The latest deal at 48 Pelham Street, at the junction of Brompton Cross, has set a record rent in the area.
US designer Carolina Herrera has successfully outbid rivals for the lease of the 2000 square foot store.
Kitchen La Frenais Morgan, agent for the landlord Wellcome Trust, is thought to have received seven bids for the store and Carolina Herrera has now agreed to pay around £325,000 a year in rent and around £350,000 in key money to secure it.
Herrera will be the latest addition to the street that is home to Chanel, while Stella McCartney will open a shop this month. London's west end has seen rents rocket in countless new locations as luxury goods retailers open large flagship shops to attract wealthy Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian shoppers.
Rents in Mount Street in Mayfair have nearly doubled since Marc Jacobs and others set up shop in the past five years while in Dover Street and Albemarle Street rents have also leapt and have attracted the likes of Alexander McQueen.
Bond Street remains the most highly desired street. Top rents, and the premiums paid for stores, are still sky high despite difficult economic headwinds. A small Bond Street store could cost £500,000 a year in rent and £1 million or more in key money to secure the lease.
Luxury brands have also begun to buy freeholds of shops rather than rent them to stop rivals getting their hands on coveted stores.
A raft of deals in the past four years including Hermès buying Asprey's store, LVMH buying its own Louis Vuitton store and Chanel buying DKNY's store on Bond Street have kept prices at boomtime levels.
Property agent Harper Dennis Hobbs is thought to have advised Carolina Herrera.

Iraq must do more to ensure peace, stability
The country cannot exist as an entity that is divided along sectarian lines
As Iraq hosted the Arab Summit yesterday, one can only raise the question of the state of affairs in the country today. This should be viewed in the context of where the country was many years ago and where it has reached today. Following the end of a dictatorial regime and that of an occupation, it is but valid to pon-der about Iraq's future.
Only recently, one of the worst series of bombings hit Tikrit, Kirkuk, Anbar and Karbala. At least 52 people were killed and hundreds others were wounded as a result. But the blasts did not stop there. They came to the capital of the country, with double blasts carried out in Baghdad later.
There is no question that the situation in Iraq is disturbing, to say the least. Nine years after the American-led invasion of the country and three months following the withdrawal of the last soldiers, there is much to be done in Iraq.
In fact, the expectation was for Iraq to be engaged in the process of nation-building by now and not try to bring the violence under control. The country for sure cannot continue to exist as an entity that is broken up in segments, and divided along religious or political lines.
In addition, the idea that fortified areas such as the Green Zone can exist is also not the solution. As a matter of fact, the very existence of such isolated and protected enclaves proves that there is much to be done to ensure stability and peace.
Having said that, it is time that the current condition of Iraq is closely evaluated. The country cannot survive in isolation from its surroundings. Neither can it be abandoned to disintegration and violence.
