Ross Barkley insists England Under-20s can go all the way and win the World Cup.Barkley, part of a five-strong Everton contingent in the Three Lions party, is set to feature against Iraq on Sunday evening.And with English youth development very much under the spotlight at present, the Blues youngster explained why it is important to remain positive.He said: "We are here to win the tournament. That's the only way we can approach things."There are a lot of good teams at the World Cup, but we believe we can go a long way."It is a good opportunity for us to show that we have got good players coming up in England."The 20-year-old midfielder has more Premier League experience than most of his colleagues but admits this tournament is offering its own challenges."We have been in Antalya for ten days now and the biggest thing we have had to get used to is the heat," he revealed."It was 34 degrees yesterday and though it's cooler when the matches kick-off, it still takes some getting used to."Sunday's opponents from the gulf may not sound like a fearsome football powerhouse but Barkley remains watchful.He added: "Iraq have a few players who have already won caps at senior level, so we need to make sure we play as a team," he explained. "If we do that, we are confident we can get off to a good start."

If you liked the ESPN video, you ought to listen to sports radio host Jim Rome's interview with Manti and then read Rome's commentary after the interview. This young man is the real deal of having meaningful priorities in order. Rome acknowledged that, too.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Will Blake Geoffrion Follow Family Footprints?
by Paul on 06/15/10 at 09:17 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Dirk Hoag of On The Forecheck,
With Blake Geoffrion expected to sign his entry-level NHL contract soon, the Nashville Predators are going to welcome the most heralded rookie in franchise history….
When he eventually makes his debut with the Nashville Predators, he will become a 4th-generation NHL player. His father Danny was a 1st-round draft choice by the Montreal Canadiens and played three seasons with various teams, while his grandfather (Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoffrion) and great-grandfather (Howie Morenz) stand among the all-time titans of the sport….
Has anyone ever entered the world of professional sports with such an accomplished family tree, and the personal awards to back it up?

Fall-ing in love: Tips for autumn wedding bliss
(NewsUSA) - Caterers, event halls and wedding planners are gearing up for fall wedding season, one of the busiest times of the year for hopeful couples. Fall guarantees exquisite photo opportunities without the heat of summer -- and the wealth of in-season decorations are beautiful and affordable.
In fact, September and October are the most popular and third most popular months for weddings, respectively.
If you're planning a fall wedding this season, read on for some helpful tips:
1. Keep warm. Since outdoor fall weddings have the potential to get chilly, keeping your guests warm is a must. Offer hot cocoa and homey baskets of soft blankets or cozy shawls. Set up fire pits or outdoor heating stations where guests can shake of the chill.
2. Location, location, location. Select a locale that is known for its fall scenery.
3. Incorporate fall colors into the wedding party wardrobe. Chocolate brown compliments a variety of fall color schemes, and it's flattering for most women. But if brown doesn't suit the plans, burgundy is another great fall shade that makes the bridal white pop.
4. Select in-season flowers and decorations. Unless the bride has her heart set on lily of the valley or orchids, there are beautiful in-season flowers to choose from. Dahlias, chrysanthemums, asters, roses, zinnias and sunflowers all create elegant bouquets and floral displays with a lovely hint of fall. Add some crab apples for a playful, non-floral element.
5. Mix and match gourds, pumpkins and squash. Pumpkins can be tacky or a little too reminiscent of Halloween, so class them up by serving pumpkin soup, pumpkin cocktails or tiers of mini pumpkins. Gourds also make eye-catching vases, and all three can be arranged as charming centerpieces.

Dapxin says:
Interesting trend. good spot.
It would be even more interesting to see where this goes, especially interms of customer-experience in general
Really need to see how they are using the service to answer customer queries, feedback, etc
Dej says:
Twitter is actually a great opportunity, if used right, for these Nigerian companies to
(1) get the pulse of people on their brand and services.
(2) Serve as a mechanism to respond to actual service requests and complaints.
If all they use it for is to pump out marketing at people, they will very shortly be ignored in the constant stream of tweets. I recently took MTN to task in my blog (http://tinyurl.com/m8uxya). A company properly plugged into the internet would have tools that keep an eye out for buzz, positive or negative about their companies and move rapidly to engage the community's concerns.
"If all they use it for is to pump out marketing at people, they will very shortly be ignored in the constant stream of tweets."
Rest assured I'll be watching how they use Twitter;-)

Looks like MTN have killed their Twitter account.
Yeah, Twitter says it doesn't exist anymore. Hmm…

Ralph Nader: Rand Paul has become blinded by ambition October 28th, 2014

Rand Paul accurately claims Germans aren't funny October 17th, 2014
On Thursday, Rand Paul didn't declare his candidacy for POTUS. But he did declare his intention to eventually declare his candidacy.
In a bold, substantive speech, Rand Paul called for a Flat Tax and eliminating the Department of Indoctrination…
And it only got better…
2nd Amendment:
We need to jealously guard our liberties.
Drug legalization:
Ask the Facebook generation, whether we should put a kid in jail for the non-violent crime for drug use, and you'll hear a resounding 'no'.
There is nothing conservative about bailing out Wall Street.
Economic stimulus:
The only stimulus proven to work is leaving more money in the hands of those who earned it…

I was arrested on 5/12 the last day of my honeymoon cruise in New Orleans for a warrant out of Texas. ($2000 bond - Sec Exec Doc Dec 1500 -20k). Texas advised Harbor Police they wanted to extradite; they took me to New Orleans Parish Prison to wait for Texas. I went to court on the 12th and the New Orleans Judge raised my bond to $30,000 (for fraud). I finally went back to court on the 15th to sign extradition papers and Texas was finally contacted. The conditions and treatment were inhumane. Transportation agents arrived on the 19th and I was back in Texas on 5/22; shortly released on a Pre-trial bond for $60. I have no prior arrests/clean background.
My court appointed Attorney and Tarrant County personnel were all shocked and unaware of the events that had taken place.
Often time when someone is arrested for an out-of-state warrant they will be charged by the arresting state with being a "fugitive" and a bail must be posted. Generally this charge will be dismissed if the arrestee posts the bond, and returns to the state that originally initiated the warrant and appears in court. This can be rather complicated, and you should consult with an attorney in each state to ensure that you are in compliance with both jurisdiction's laws.

The judge ruled from the bench just now denying their MSJ. Can I know add the owners/shareholders of the collection agency as defendants since our trial date is in 7 months?
You would have to seek the court's permission to do so by way of a motion. Good luck.

The video: A California teen and her festive, if numbingly dorky, music video have become an internet sensation, but early reviews suggest she's not the next Justin Bieber. (See the video below.) Rebecca Black's "Friday" video, a celebration of hard-earned weekend liberation, has racked up more than 2.3 million YouTube views... and been viciously panned by a number of commentators. In the video, Black, who resembles Disney pop princess Demi Lovato, offers clarifying lyrics like "Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday/Today is Friday, Friday/We we we so excited" in a heavily produced, occasionally auto-tuned voice, leaving bloggers to ponder a weighty question: "Is this the worst music video ever?"
The reaction: This song is a "bullet to your sense of hearing," says Michael K at Dlisted. It's like "a 5-year-old Ke$ha performed a song about the calendar on a water-damaged Casio keyboard after snorting glitter glue and swallowing a vibrating ball." Yes, and Black is "just the tip of a horrible iceberg called Ark Music Factory," says Mary Elizabeth Williams at Salon. That's the newly launched production company behind this, and they have an entire roster of "very young, trying-very-hard girls." Maybe they just need to adjust their aim, says Megan Gibson at Time. I don't think Ark intended this as a joke, but they could just pretend. "Rebecca Black won't be the next Miley Cyrus (though that's not a bad thing), but she could have a future in comedy."

Hex Editing the Intro of Fire Red

Everything looked right, so I saved and opened my ROM. I got nothing but a white screen, nothing would load. I backed up my ROM and tried again, same result. Eventually that hack got scrapped because I made a blunder and broke some important stuff, but anyway, I tried editing Birch's intro in Emerald for a new hack. I only changed 2 words, but I used the same method of deleting and pasting. Again, blank white screen. This is incredibly frustrating, am I doing something wrong with my method of hex insertion? I'd really like to know how to fix this. If anyone will help me out here, then thank you.
Edit: After experimentation I'm convinced I'm just doing something wrong here. I tested this again and just replaced a single character, and instead of deleting/pasting, I typed the new hex value over the old one, and everything worked fine. My new issue is, how can I add a character? If the new hex I enter in has the same amount of characters as the old, it runs properly. But if it has more or less, it just breaks my ROM.
Your new text has too acommodate to the number of bytes that it allows. Let's say one page let's you use ten bytes, using the table file, you can have 10 of any character of command (\n,\l,\p). Your pasting/deleting method destroys your rom
. You basically write over the previous bytes.

Does anyone know what's causing this problem?

Gay couple 'thrown off London bus for kissing'
A gay couple told of their anger after they were thrown off a London bus by a driver who gave them a volley of homophobic abuse for kissing.
Archbishop's PA branded a fare dodger for 20p bus fare slip-up
Published: 02 May 2008
Rachel McKenzie, a committed Christian, has told the Evening Standard of her despair at being branded a criminal for the first time at the age of 54.
If convicted, she will be given a criminal record and ordered to pay legal costs and a fine of up to £1,000. One lawyer suggested the case could cost taxpayers up to £5,000.
Ms McKenzie was caught out last November as she boarded a No12 bendy bus from her home in East Dulwich to her workplace in Southwark. She swiped her Oyster card through the reader and, unaware that the machine had beeped because she had insufficient funds, she took her seat. But two stops before the end of a journey a ticket inspector got on, checked her Oyster card and discovered she had just 70p on it - rather than the 90p then needed for the journey.
Mrs McKenzie, who works for the Catholic archbishop of Southwark, told the Standard: "He told me I was 20p short. I was really surprised. I told him it was an innocent mistake, that I had swiped the card next to the driver and he hadn't said anything and that I would pay the difference.
"I reached to get out my purse but he said I couldn't do that and that he had to report me. I thought that would be okay because I'll get the chance to explain it was just a mistake. I never thought it would end up with a criminal prosecution.
"It makes me think it is a ridiculous abuse of the legal system. I made a genuine mistake and was honest about it because I was sure the British legal system was a just one. I wonder about that now."
Ms McKenzie has enlisted the help of lawyers who are fighting her case free. But Transport for London has refused to cave in and she has now received a summons to appear before Sutton magistrates on 22 May.
Her legal adviser, Mark Stephens, said: "It is disgraceful. This prosecution is likely to cost as much as £5,000 to recover 20p. This is a scandalous abuse of the court system. She should have been allowed to pay the difference or, at worst, pay a penalty fare." He added that a criminal conviction could prevent MsMcKenzie working in the community in future or make it difficult to obtain a visa to travel to America.
TfL's legal department wrote to Ms McKenzie last week saying: "Consistent with all cashless services, it is your responsibility to ensure you have sufficient credit in your card to pay for your bus journey."
The TfL enforcement policy says it seeks to be "firm but fair" and aims to ensure prosecution is only considered where there is clear evidence of irregular travel. It also says it will prosecute if the offence occurred "in an area known to occasion high revenue loss".
Last night, TfL said: "Fare evasion is illegal. Fare dodgers cost passengers using public transport millions of pounds every year."
Last year, more than 47,215 people received a £20 penalty fare and more than 30,000 were prosecuted.
The case comes after a University of East London student was given a criminal record for travelling one stop on a bus without a valid ticket. Ashley Williams, 20, said her Oyster card beeped at her, but the No38 left the stop in Hackney before she could alight. She was taken to Stratford magistrates' court last September.

Learning From Mistakes
Blog: KK Hockey By Alanah McGinley
10/30/07 at 12:25 PM ET | Comments (0)
From Len Ziehm at the Chicago Sun-Times,
Fights in his last two games left Koci with a broken nose and a deep gash between the eyes that required 10 stitches. He clearly was beaten by the Boston Bruins' Zdeno Chara on Thursday, but he insists he won't be afraid to fight him again. He'll just change his style.
''Usually I'm a more defensive fighter, but my last two fights I tried to kill the guys,'' Koci said. ''I got confidence from my first couple fights, and I tried to be more aggressive. That's not the way I usually fight, and that's why I got hurt. You learn from your mistakes.''
Koci was the first opponent to take on Chara since he joined the Bruins more than a year ago.

Veteran Coyotes Need to Stay Calm
Blog: KK Hockey By Alanah McGinley
10/30/07 at 12:18 PM ET | Comments (0)
From Jim Gintonio at The Arizona Republic,
Young team or not, losing is never easy to take, and Coyotes coach Wayne Gretzky says it's important that players not get caught up in a mode of frustration.
"They want to do well, they want to win, and you can get frustrated," he said. "The worst thing that could happen for this team is that our older guys show that frustration because it bleeds through the hockey team. All of a sudden, you see a guy like (Daniel) Carcillo out there and being very frustrated.
"As I said to Shane (captain Shane Doan) … our older guys got to stay calm and relaxed. If they can stay calm and cool on the bench … it's infectious to the younger guys, and it's imperative that they stay focused."

Tortorella Frustrated
Blog: KK Hockey By Alanah McGinley
10/30/07 at 11:41 AM ET | Comments (0)
From Erik Erlendsson at The Tampa Tribune,
After the game, Lightning coach John Tortorella didn't hide his frustration with his team's play in an expletive-laden, two-answer session with the media.
'We were undisciplined, but up until then we had one player play, our goalie,' Tortorella said. 'Our goalie gives us a chance after two periods and we can't put 20 minutes of disciplined hard hockey together, so we're not even close tonight, not even close, so we don't deserve anything. We spent more time looking at referees for calls ... moaning about it instead of playing, so we don't deserve to win tonight.
'It's very frustrating to see one guy show up tonight and play, and that's our goalie. That's it.'

Ovechkin a Mentor
Blog: KK Hockey By Alanah McGinley
10/30/07 at 11:32 AM ET | Comments (0)
From Mark Zwolinski at the Toronto Star,
Alex Ovechkin has become many things in Washington: a celebrity, a millionaire and a hero. Now he's a mentor and role model.
The 22-year-old has opened up his home to newcomer Nicklas Backstrom, and is helping the Swedish rookie adapt to hockey and life in the U.S. capital.
"I remember being a rookie and Dainius Zubrus, he helped me, so I wanted to give back the way Dainius did for me," said Ovechkin, whose two goals lifted the Capitals to a 7-1 win over the Leafs at the Air Canada Centre.
"OV (Ovechkin) has been very good for Nicklas, he takes him all over and kind of shows him around," Capitals coach Glen Hanlon said. "Dainius was great with him, and now it hasn't taken him long to reciprocate."

Would you like me to prepare a list of the reasons why Peter Forsberg will never wear a Wing jersey? I can if you want. It's not rocket science, or even basic geometry—which I failed. It's pure logic. Naturally, the same brand of logic can't be applied to our Diggers.
Yes, Forsberg appears ready to play for Team Sweden in one of the 73 international competitions scheduled over the course of the next 81 days. Yes, he's probably healthy. Yes, I admit, he'd be a fine addition to a team in (not quite as serious) need of offense.
But, there's no chance in hell. None.

From Larry Brooks at the NYP,
"After Saturday, Jaromir and I sat in the locker room until 12 o'clock, talking about changing the power play, and then [Sunday] we practiced it," said Shanahan. "Jaromir really takes it personally, being here, and winning."
Lundqvist was outstanding again. Ryan Hollweg had a mighty fine game going up and down the wing. Chris Drury was more involved in the action than he'd been since the opener. The defense played a simple game. The Rangers got pucks in and pucks out and Jagr got a puck in the mouth.
Someone wanted to know whether Jagr lost his original teeth.
"A gentleman never tells," he said, with a Jack-o-Lantern grin. "But I think if I paid $20,000 for them, they're mine."

Groundhog Day in Toronto

From Damien Cox at the Toronto Star,
Folks, something is going to have to give here. Whether it's a big trade or a management shakeup, it seems unthinkable that even MLSE and its barely engaged board of directors will simply allow another season to limp along with two wins here, a couple of blowout losses there, an overtime triumph and then a couple more defeats.
This is the last two non-playoff seasons being played over again one more time. This is Groundhog Day, the hockey version.
It was the fifth time in nine home games the Leafs have allowed five goals or more to the opposition, an outrageous record. They've only acquired eight of a possible 18 points so far at the ACC, a home mark that will guarantee another missed invitation to the Stanley Cup playoffs if it doesn't turn around dramatically. That's not an opinion. It's a fact.

Prediction: Henrik Zetterberg's point streak ends tonite. Oh, you can take that to the bank brother. How could it not? Hockey hasn't seen a 24-hour period of hype for one player since Fitzpatrick-gate. Check the three Detroit Digger Dailies and what do you see? Zeta-fest. The Edmonton Sun and Journal? All Hank.
Of course, it started in Toronto; as Canadian law dictates it had to.
Eric Duhatschek wrote yesterday that Zetterberg "may" be the best in the league. James Mirtle agreed soon after, and not so tactfully reminded me via email that he predicted a better season for the future captain than I did.
What follows is a look at the morning in Hank's World.

Kansas Ready for a Fight

From Jeffrey Flanagan at the Kansas City Star,
If Kansas City does indeed ever land an NHL team, keep this in mind: The game has changed, and not necessarily for the better.
As enforcement of the instigator penalty has grown stricter in the NHL — the punishment is a minor penalty, a major penalty and a 10-minute misconduct — old-fashioned street brawls on the ice have all but vanished. And so has much of the game's personality.
"Let's face it: Fans do like to see the fighting," said former Blades broadcaster Bob Kaser. "When you think about, what gets the crowd going more? Is it an end-to-end goal or is it seeing one of your team's enforcers going at it with someone on the other team? It's the fighting that gets the crowd on its feet in anticipation.

Hitting Along the Boards
Blog: KK Hockey By Alanah McGinley
10/29/07 at 11:45 PM ET | Comments (0)
From Al Strachan at FoxSports,
So players routinely hit people along the boards, knowing full well that if they don't, they could lose their jobs. As long as the opponent is not facing the glass, that's usually not a problem.
But in many of these instances where players are being hurt, the victim turns to the boards at the last millisecond when it's too late for the checker to stop his forward motion. The other variation is that a player — partly facing the boards — sees the checker coming and, in an attempt to absorb the blow, starts to bend towards a fetal position. He puts his head down — the worst possible course of action. When he gets hit, his face goes into the dasher.
What should the league do in these cases? To the casual fan, it appears to be a simple case. A player got whacked into the boards and is lying there hurt. Hand out a major and subsequently a suspension.
But on closer examination, it appears that there's not much else the checker could do.

Title: Yellow, pale green leaves on Cedar Elms in Texas
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have had several cedar elms of various sizes planted in our yard over the last 10 years. Only the largest has dark green, healthy looking leaves. All the others have yellowish, pale green leaves. The poor color look is more pronounced this year than before. Do you believe this is a soil problem?
The diagnosis is that the leaves on the smaller elms are chlorotic, or not having enough chlorophyll in the leaves. Chlorosis is caused by the failure of the tree roots to absorb enough iron from the soil for the creation of chlorophyll, with which the plant manufactures food. Ulmus crassifolia (cedar elm) prefers moist to dry, alkaline soil. In Boerne, in the Texas Hill Country, you have the alkaline soil, but not necessarily the moist soil. But even for a plant preferring a slightly alkaline soil, the Central Texas soils can be too alkaline to permit the plant to take up iron in the soil. In excessively wet or poorly drained soils, the chemistry of the soil changes and iron becomes unavailable.
Here are some things to try to prevent chlorosis. Improve the soil-work compost in around the roots, this will also help make the soil drainage better. Apply iron sulfate, blending with organic matter like compost and concentrate the mix in soil near plant roots. Apply iron chelate-these organic compounds keep iron soluble and available to roots. Scatter the dry granules within plant's drip line, then water thoroughly. Leaves should start to green up in 2 to 3 weeks.
The website Ulmus crassifolia (USDA Forest Service) mentions that Elm leaf beetles and aphids can infest the Cedar Elm. The elm leaf beetle can seriously defoliate a tree, but is not a cause of yellowing, and defoliation is usually not too severe. Aphids also may suck fluids out of the leaves, causing them to yellow; again, not a big threat. Aphids can usually be identified by the honeydew they deposit on the undersides of leaves, which often hosts sooty mold, turning the leaves dark gray or black. Another disease that has yellowing leaves as a symptom is Dutch Elm Disease (USDA Forest Service. This disease is usually fatal, and there are other more compelling symptoms on the tree besides yellowing leaves.
In answer to your question, is this a soil problem, yes, we believe the alkalinity of the soil and/or poor drainage is probably the reason the leaves are turning yellow. If only the smaller trees are showing these symptoms, it is probably because their roots are not getting good enough drainage to permit them to draw on the minerals in the soil. See the first paragraph for compost around the roots and drainage improvement.

Markets rocked by political battles in DC and RomeBy PAN PYLAS
The Associated Press | October 01,2013LONDON Financial markets were rocked Monday by fears that the U.S. government was heading for a partial shutdown and amid renewed political instability in Italy.
Despite a raft of economic news due around the world this week, the focus of attention will likely remain on developments in Washington and Rome.
In the U.S. capital, lawmakers face a deadline of midnight Monday for agreeing a budget deal that will avert the first government shutdown since 1996. A failure to do so could see essential federal services shut and place hundreds of thousands of staff on unpaid leave. Ratings agency Moodys has warned that a shutdown would knock 1.4 percent off the U.S.s annual gross domestic product.
Meanwhile, in Italy, Premier Enrico Letta faces a confidence vote on Wednesday after ministers from Silvio Berlusconis center-right bloc pulled out of the five-month government. Though Italy hasnt needed a financial bailout like other countries that use the euro, such as Greece and Portugal, it has high debts that have compelled successive governments to instigate wide-ranging economic reforms. The political uncertainty only adds to concern that the reforms program will slip.
If investors had been hoping that common sense would prevail over the weekend, in either Italy or the U.S. for that matter, then they would have ended up sorely disappointed, said Michael Hewson, senior market analyst at CMC Markets. Given the protagonists involved in events either side of the Atlantic any other outcome, would probably have been wishful thinking and so it has proved.
Given those uncertainties, investors are edgy at the start of a potentially big week on the economic news front, with the data flow scheduled to culminate Friday with the U.S. nonfarm payrolls report for September. A U.S. government shutdown would incidentally cause the postponement of the payrolls release, providing markets with a further uncertainty in the run-up to the next policy meeting of the Federal Reserve.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares fell 0.8 percent to close at 6,462.22 while Germanys DAX fell 0.8 percent to 8,594.40. The CAC-40 in France ended 1 percent lower at 4,143.44.
Unsurprisingly, Milans stock exchange fared worst, shedding 1.2 percent to 17,434.86. However, bond market investors appeared to be holding their nerve, and the yield on Italys benchmark 10-year government bond was flat at 4.43 percent, having earlier been sharply higher.
If Letta does not win his confidence vote on Wednesday, then we could see a sharper reaction in the bond markets, said Kathleen Brooks, research director at Forex.com. Overall, the markets seem to be expecting a resolution from the Italian crisis, after all, political risk in Italy is nothing new.
In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average was down 0.6 percent at 15,161.23 while the broader S&P 500 index fell 0.5 percent to 1,683.43.
How markets end the day will largely hinge on developments in Washington, with the deadline looming. The Senate reconvenes Monday just 10 hours before the partial shutdown begins.
Recent history suggests that some sort of deal may be cobbled together between the Republican-dominated House of Representatives and the Democrats, who control the Senate as well as the White House.
As weve seen in the past, the months leading up to the deadline are simply seen as an opportunity for both sides to gain political points, while making a villain out of the opposition, said Craig Erlam, market analyst at Alpari. Its only in the final 24 hours that any actual progress tends to be made. We can only hope that this is what were seeing again.
In the currency markets, the euro recovered from early losses to trade 0.1 percent higher at $1.3535 and the dollar rose 0.6 percent to 98.25 yen.
The price of benchmark New York crude was $1.04 lower at $101.83 a barrel as investors fretted about the impact on the U.S. economy and the consequent impact on energy demand.
The mood was downbeat earlier in Asia as well. Japans Nikkei 225 stock average, the regions heavyweight, led the way down, closing 2.1 lower at 14,455.80. Among others, Hongs Hang Seng index was down 1.5 percent at 22,859.86. South Koreas Kospi ended 0.7 percent lower at 1,996.96. The Shanghai Composite bucked the trend, closing 0.7 percent higher at 2,174.67.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON The Federal Reserve plans to keep a key interest rate at a record low to support a U.S. Full StoryMILAN Fiat Chrysler Automobiles announced Wednesday it will spin off sports car maker Ferrari...
