Bogere batters Julio
By Robert Hughes at ringside
The Sharif Bogere circus roared through downtown Fort Worth on Friday, leaving behind a Texas-sized parking lot full of boxing fans wondering who was that fighter under the lion's head and skin.

Steward: Cotto-Foreman 50/50
While at Yankee Stadium earlier this week, chief trainer Manny Steward told Miguel Cotto "…we're in a tough, difficult, challenging fight against Yuri Foreman. "I now know why Manny Pacquiao and his team passed on Yuri," Steward told boxing press before Cotto went to the batting cage at Yankee Stadium. "We're looking at a 50-50 fight going in. Yuri is a good, hard-working champion." Steward added he has been working on Cotto's balance and has tweaked punching angles for "more accurate, harder direct hits." Steward added "…Cotto knows how important this fight is for his career."
Ticket sales have surged since Cotto appeared at Yankee Stadium where he spoke to Yankees star players including Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. Cotto is now back in Tampa, Fla. to complete training.

By Gabriel F. Cordero

text: Center for Rural Affairs A Few Ways to Reduce Income Inequality on the Great Plains By Jonathan Baker • Sep 17, 2015 Patrick Cavan Brown / Al Jazeera America In the face of growing income inequality on the rural Great Plains, the Center for Rural Affairs has published four ways to address the problem. First, rural people should be given more opportunities to obtain higher education. Research shows that people with college degrees earn almost 80 percent more per year than degreeless residents. Lack of land thwarts aspiring young farmers By Grant Gerlock • Feb 23, 2014 Grant Gerlock/Harvest Public Media The average age of American farmers has been climbing for decades, and many say rural towns are at-risk without new blood. There are enough people who want to farm, but there's trouble connecting beginning farmers and the communities that need them.

JERUSALEM (AP) — A pair of Palestinian men boarded a bus in Jerusalem and began shooting and stabbing passengers, while another assailant rammed a car into a bus station before stabbing bystanders, in near-simultaneous attacks Tuesday that escalated a monthlong wave of violence. Two Israelis and one attacker were killed.
Chinese imports plunged by more than a fifth last month, official figures showed Tuesday, as slowing growth in the world's second-largest economy wreaks havoc on global commodities prices and the country's own customers. September imports sank 20.4 percent to $145.2 billion in dollar terms, the customs department said -- worse than forecast in a survey of economists by Bloomberg News. Purchases of several bulk commodities "exhibited an increase in volume and a fall in price", Customs department spokesman Huang Songping told reporters, citing oil, coal and copper costs among the biggest losers.

Simply the best!!!
I just wanted to say what a welcome relief it is to do business with true professionals. Rick at Carpets Direct and his crew of installers are truly the best we have ever experienced. This is our families 4th home that we have had built and I must say that there expertise is beyond what most stores in the area are capable of. The installers were friendly and caring paying utmost attention to the details. If you are looking for new flooring don t go anywhere else! I also checked this store out with the BBB and they have never had a complaint registered in there entire flooring career...WOW!!!

Ziera Ipswich Black Leather Women's Sandal

I have spent much time and money searching for (and returning!) the right shoe. I have multiple foot problems and my podiatrist recommends I wear a 3/4 orthotic as much as possible. These shoes have solved my problem -- they accommodate my orthotic and are really cute/stylish and extremely comfortable. The lace-up system allows a truly customized fit. The Ipswich looks great with jeans and leggings. I have it in both colors!
I am constantly searching for what seems to be the impossible....a shoe that does not cause physical pain, make me any taller, or make me look like either an old lady or just plain frumpy! I have finally found the impossible in this beautiful
shoe! I want to buy 100 pairs so I have them stocked for life. I have a job where I stand and run around all day but also have to look attractive and fashionable while doing it and these shoes are perfect! I'm just so thrilled!

I stand 10-14 hours per day on my feet. Because of this abuse I developed bone spurs in each heel, and plantar fasciitis. Walking anywhere, any distance is painful, difficult. MBT shoes were recommended to me by other people with similar problems. Wearing these shoes have made it possible for me to walk in comfort again. They are the only reason I can stand or walk. Fast forward to the new MBT shoes produced by the company that bought the old MBT: They're great! Not as butt ugly as the old styles. Just as comfortable and super fun. They still run a little small. I hope they continue to make a size US 12 for the winter, I need that size for close toe boots. I have a serious MBT habit. Keep 'em coming guys."

App has been useless
Zero star ratings should really be an option!!! I've loaded money onto the app and have attempted to pay via the app on two separate occasions without success both times I had to use an alternate method of paying them all the while the initial $$ is being held hostage on the app! Fix the problems or refund my $$$$
Needs a better reason to download
Other food services offers coupons and savings if you use their apps to buy food. I rather go where the deal is. I need a better incentive to download and use your app.
2 good 2 b true
I luv the convince of this app, but when it comes to ordering and being able to review what's being ordered and prices b4 having to pay...... I am totally lost. The system needs to be fixed to where it is easy and manageable to use, until then I won't be using this app.

Try the pomegranate with strawberries. It's amazing!
Salted caramel is amazing!
Good stuff. Chocolate with captain crunch and frutty pebbles.
Imani was very helpful & kind. If you see her, tell her she rocks!
Their current promotion is comeback the next day with a receipt and get 50% off your next order
Ask for samples WITH toppings!!!
There is no pinkberry here :(
The blood orange really works with everything, and the luxe toppings are worth trying at least once, even if you already get as many toppings as you want otherwise.

TravelPod Member ReviewsSmall World Backpackers Lodge Harare
Nice location, basic accommodation. The room opens straight in to the main eating/lounging area so is a bit noisier than hoped. Reasonable price for Harare, and feels safe/secure.

... agreed on meeting at 4pm, however without a phone how could we contact each other? The next process was to find a phone, or better still borrow someone else's. This was so hard to do! Taurai asked a few people, Zania hung out of the car window and ended up shouting "please". However, in Harare if a total stranger asked for my phone, I think I would also say no! So it was all down to me, within one try I asked two women and ...

In fact, Jehovah's Witnesses around the world are involved in a campaign each year to invite the public to their annual convention and this one was no different. Because so many delegates have come from countries far away, it has piqued the curiosity of the Zimbabwe public. Thus, we were expecting many attendees.

Bayterek system launch shifted to 201714 april 2011, 13:08
Delays in the tests of Angara carrier-rocket are behind the new postponement in construction of Baiterek launch pad that is meant to launch this new booster, Moldabekov said.
Besides, a number of errors in the initial design of Baiterek facility were revealed. Location of the launch pad's construction site had to be changed over these errors.
Kazakhstan's space programs are being developed in spite of the Baiterek delays, Moldabekov said.
In recent years Baikonur cosmodrome has become a major international spaceport hosting satellite projects of US, EU, Russian and international space organizations.
Proton-M carrier rocket for American ViaSat-1 satellite was delivered to Baikonur on April 6. The satellite is scheduled to be launched in late July this year.

When Shawn Medley arrived at the St. Augustine School on Saturday, his hair cascaded down his back to his waist. By the time he left, his head was barren (including his beard).
After his haircut his head felt about 10 pounds lighter.
"There was a lot there," Medley said.
He said his hair hadn't been that short probably since he was born. Medley had been growing his hair for three and a half years. He made a pair of massive donations to Locks of Love before the rest of his head was cleaned as part of the 2013 St. Baldrick's event.
This was Medley's first time shaving his head, but he participated with a team, It's a Family Off-Hair, which has participated for a few years.
Ninety-eight shavees and 12 teams participated in this year's event. Together they raised $38,597.74 as of Monday, according to event coordinator Sheila Buckman-Lanham said.
Regardless, the unofficial total is already the most ever raised in the history of the local event. The previous record was $30,039, which was raised in 2008.
"Obviously it shows the generosity of our community," Buckman-Lanham said.
Since the first event in 2007, the Marion County event has raised more than $179,000, all of which goes toward research for children's cancer.
Citizens National Bank has sponsored the event every year since it began, and they continue to do so because of the work of the St. Baldrick's Foundation.
"It's such a great organization," Buckman-Lanham said. "Hopefully, any money that we have raised will make a tremendous impact on curing childhood cancer."
St. Augustine School has hosted the event every year, and a special presentation was made to the school in appreciation of its support.
Likewise, a group of nine individuals were inducted a members of Knights of the Bald Table on Saturday. These are individuals who have participated in St. Baldrick's events for seven years. Shavees Eric Daugherty, Shawn Gibson, Jerry Helm, Chad Hood and Jim Reed of the CNB Baldies team, and Daniel Webb were knighted. They were joined in knighthood by stylists Vickie Childers, Darlene Morgan and Connie Smith, all of Buck and Doe Barber Shop.
While the event brings back familiar faces each year, new participants show up as well. One new team this year was Casper and the Looneytunes. "Casper" is Sue Beavers who is undergoing treatments for non-small cell lung cancer. The team included her husband, her seven siblings, her daughter and other relatives.
"I'm very proud of them," Beavers said after watching them all take their turns in the barber's chairs. "That's my inspiration, my family. I love each and every one of them."
Sheila Moore, one of Beavers's sisters, was actually participating in St. Baldrick's for the second time this year.
"We're hoping that they can find a cure for childhood cancer, and then when they get older, they won't have to worry about it," Moore said.
The event started with Anthony Epps, an assistant coach for the state champion Marion County Lady Knights, serving as the honorary barber. Epps took the first swipe at the head of Bob Abell, who is the grandfather of this year's ambassador child, Avery Leachman, 9.
Avery was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. She underwent surgery last year to remove the cancerous cells, and she stood proudly by Abell's side as his head was shorn.
Avery wasn't the only ambassador child to attend this year's event. Matthew Miles (2008) and Landon Thompson (2011) returned as well.
Even Santa Claus was there, sort of. Steve Norris, white beard in tow, got cleaned up for the fourth time this year. He said he keeps participating because of his love of kids.
"This is the only thing I can do for them in the summer," he said.
That spirit of giving is what brings many people back, people like David Bell of Cox's Creek, who was taking part in St. Baldrick's for the second time.
The way he talked, it probably won't be the last time.
"I'll do whatever I can to help kids," he said, "whether it's cancer or any other disease."

text: Our Verdict A solid effort for big-picture on a budget For Great price, easy to set-up two HDMI inputs natural colours good detail Against Hints of noise motion isn't perfect Reviewed on 5th October 2012 Whether it be a low resolution or some other gaps in specification, budget projectors have tended to compromise too much on performance. The BenQ W1060 aims to buck the trend, despite its low price: it's a Full HD, 1920 x 1080-pixel DLP projector. The white chassis is compact and seems solidly put together. Lens and zoom are controlled manually, while there are adjustable feet to get the picture position just right. There's a pair of small speakers in the projector if you want sound direct from the source, and a carrying case means you can cart it around and just add a source for an on-the-fly system. BenQ W1060: Picture qualityX-Men: First Class is a fine test disc, with a good mix of dark and bright scenes, fast motion and punchy colours. And the BenQ does pretty well. The colour balance is natural, with refined colours. Black levels are admirable, though the very trickiest dark scenes lose a little solidity and insight. More after the break Skin tones are presented faithfully and there's good detail, although there's the odd hint of noise in blocks of colour. Fast motion is rarely perfect even on more expensive projectors, so it's no surpise there's the occasional blur with rapid action, but overall motion handling is smooth enough. You can't expect the world from a £700 projector, and the BenQ W1060 doesn't have us throwing away our favourite £1500 projectors, but for those on a tight budget this is a solid effort with no glaring faults.

Golden Lions (36) 62 / 32 (20) WP (Final Score)
The Xerox Golden Lions and DHL Western Province did battle in the ABSA Currie Cup at
Emirates Airline Park, Johannesburg at 18:00 SA Time (16:00 GMT).
This was the live match discussion Article.
The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1 on TV in SA.
Fit-again Springbok centre Juan de Jongh returns to captain DHL Western Province in their crunch match against the Xerox Golden Lions.
De Jongh has been out of action since suffering an MCL injury against the Toyota Free State Cheetahs in mid-August and his return to fitness is a massive boost for the defending champions ahead of the 2015 play-offs.
De Jongh will start at inside centre ahead of Huw Jones, as the WP coaching staff intends to control his game time upon his return to action.
In other changes to the line-up from the side that beat the Steval Pumas, Cheslin Kolbe, Nic Groom, Chris Cloete, Jean Kleyn and Steven Kitshoff all return to the starting 15.
DHL Western Province head coach John Dobson has made 6 changes to his starting team for Saturday's ABSA Currie Cup clash against the Steval Pumas at DHL Newlands.
As expected, Dillyn Leyds will start at fullback – in place of the injured Cheslin Kolbe – with Kobus van Wyk moving up from the bench to start in the No 14 jersey.
In the final change to the DHL WP backline this week, Springbok scrumhalf Jano Vermaak will make his 1st start in Blue & White Hoops, having come off the bench last week to score a valuable try for his new team.
Up front, meanwhile, loosehead prop Steven Kitshoff has not recovered from his chest niggle, handing Oli Kebble a start in the No 1 jersey.
In the 2nd row, Jan de Klerk will make a 1st start at this level, with Jean Kleyn getting a deserved rest on the bench, and skipper Nizaam Carr returns to assume the team captaincy and the No 8 jersey.
Sikhumbuzo Notshe, who started at No 8 last week, will pack down on the side of the scrum – at No 7 – with Jurie van Vuuren, a last-minute starter last weekend, reverting to the bench. The hard-hitting Rynhardt Elstadt is still unavailable with a thigh injury.
The new faces on the bench this week are fit-again hooker Michael Willemse (in for the injured Scarra Ntubeni), prop Ali Vermaak and utility back Jaco Taute.
The Xerox Golden Lions scored 2 tries in the 2nd half to secure a 26 / 18 win against the Cell C Sharks at Emirates Airline Park on Saturday afternoon. The win kept the Lions' unbeaten status intact and they now have an 8-point lead over the Vodacom Blue Bulls on the Log.
Also on Saturday, former Junior Springbok wing Sergeal Petersen ran in a brace of tries as the Toyota Free State Cheetahs completed a 44 / 24 bonus-point home win over the ORC Griquas.
The win saw the Free State Cheetahs leapfrog the Cell C Sharks and the Steval Pumas to move into 4th place on the Log and keep their semifinal chances alive while the Griquas remain rooted to the bottom of the table after just 1 win from their 7 matches.
DHL Western Province gained sweet revenge against the Vodacom Blue Bulls at DHL Newlands with a 29 / 14 victory in Cape Town on Friday evening. The Pretoria side will rue a string of missed opportunities that cost them the chance of closing the gap on the log leaders as handling errors and strong defence from WP meant they suffered their 2nd loss of the campaign.
The Steval Pumas kept their slim semifinal hopes alive with a gritty 20 / 9 win over the Eastern Province Kings in their fixture at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit on Friday.
The Pumas had come into the game off the back of 2 consecutive losses and were desperate to get back to winning ways. The victory has kept them in distant touch with the front-runners and was just enough to make them outside contenders for the playoffs. They did not collect a bonus point but the win could prove crucial at the end of the round-robin stage.
After 7 Rounds, the Xerox Golden Lions are out in front on 33 points, followed by the Vodacom Blue Bulls on 25 points. Last year's winners, DHL Western Province, are currently 3rd on 24 points, followed by the Toyota Free State Cheetahs on 17 points. The Cell C Sharks (13) and Pumas (also 13) follow next, then the Kings in 7th place (7) and Griquas (6).
The Xerox Golden Lions reigned over the Vodacom Blue Bulls in their ABSA Currie Cup derby on Saturday evening at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria thanks to a thrilling 36 / 28 win in their Top of the Table clash.
Johan Ackermann's outfit consolidated their position on the Top of the Premier Division standings and at the same time opened up a 4 point lead over their Northern neighbours, who suffered their 1st defeat of the campaign.
Last year's winners, DHL Western Province, strengthened their grip on 3rd place with a gritty 37 / 27 away win over the Cell C Sharks in Durban. Elsewhere, the ORC Griquas and the Eastern Province Kings scored their 1st wins of the competition.
In Kimberley, the Griquas prevailed 32 / 15 over the Steval Pumas while a 14-man EP Kings side defeated the Toyota Free State Cheetahs by 32 / 24 at home in Port Elizabeth.
With just 4 Rounds of ordinary league action remaining before the play-off's, the Xerox Golden Lions are leading the race for semi-final places. They have 29 Log points, followed by the Vodacom Blue Bulls (25), DHL Western Province (20), Cell C Sharks (13), Toyota Free State Cheetahs (12), Steval Pumas (9), Eastern Province Kings (7) and ORC Griquas (6).

The Cell C Sharks and DHL Western Province did battle in the ABSA Currie Cup at
Growthpoint Kings Park, Durban at 17:05 SA Time (15:05 GMT).
This was the live match discussion Article.
The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1 & M-Net on TV in SA.
The Trans-Jukskei derby is the highlight of Round 6 and a sneak preview of a possible Currie Cup Final.
The undefeated neighbours, the Vodacom Blue Bulls and the Xerox Golden Lions, have been the standout teams and also the 2 most entertaining sides.
Johan Ackermann's Golden Lions are leading the standings on 25 Log points – having collected a full-house 5 points in all 5 their outings this season.
The Blue Bulls are a solitary point behind, also winning 5 from 5 but won the last Round's game without a bonus point.
The weekend's action starts in Port Elizabeth on Friday where the winless Eastern Province Kings host a vastly-improved Toyota Free State Cheetahs team.
Saturday's early match will see another winless team, ORC Griquas, host a struggling Steval Pumas outfit in Kimberley. Although the Pumas have 2 wins to their credit, including beating the Cell C Sharks in Round 1, they have struggled to maintain their early momentum.
The 3rd-placed DHL Western Province, who are a full 9 points behind the Golden Lions, face the Cell C Sharks in Durban in Round 6 – both desperate for some consistency in a season where promising victories have been soured by disappointing defeats.
Then, of course, we head to Pretoria for what may well be 1 of the best matches of the season.
Nic Groom will take over the captaincy for DHL Western Province from injured No 8 Nizaam Carr – against the Cell C Sharks in Durban on Saturday.
DHL WP will be looking to dominate a ressurgent Sharks team in their own backyard.
There has also been a late change from the announced team, with Kurt Coleman dropping out due to a calf strain, replaced by Robert du Preez at flyhalf and with Demetri Catrakilis on the bench as flyhalf cover.
Sikhumbuzo Notshe returns from injury to start at No 8 in 1 of only 3 changes made to the starting line-up from last weekend's confidence boosting 33 / 15 win over the ORC Griquas.
Carr has a hamstring injury and will not be fit to face the Sharks.
The other changes to the Province starting 15 sees Dillyn Leyds start on the right wing, in place of Kobus van Wyk – who drops down to the bench.
Exciting young talent Huw Jones will make his 1st start in the Currie Cup in place of Jaco Taute at inside centre.
The fit-again pairing of prop Oli Kebble and scrumhalf Jano Vermaak, come onto the bench this week – in the place of JP Smith and Godlen Masimla, respectively.
Hooker Daniel du Plessis suffered a cardiac arrest on Saturday afternoon whilst playing for the DHL Western Province Under 21 team at DHL Newlands. However, on Monday Du Plessis began to show a steady improvement which is a very positive sign for a full recovery.
Daniel Mills du Plessis – who turned 20 on 24 February 2015 – collapsed on the field during Saturday's ABSA Provincial Under 21 encounter between DHL WP and the Leopards and he stopped breathing. He was immediately attended to by the DHL Western Province Under 21 medical team and, together with paramedics from ER24, he was resuscitated on the field and further stabilised in the stadium medical room by the stadium specialists.
Once stable, Daniel was immediately transferred by ambulance to the ICU at Vincent Pallotti Hospital. He was put in an induced coma and ventilated on Saturday night. After a steady improvement and excellent specialist care, he has come off the ventilator and is now sitting up and talking.
He still has a recovery period ahead, and the cause of his heart arrest remains unknown, but his steady improvement is a very positive sign for a full recovery.
DHL Western Province have been boosted by the availability of prop Oli Kebble and flank Sikhumbuzo Notshe as they prepare to face the Cell C Sharks in a Currie Cup clash in Durban on Saturday.
Kebble (hamstring) was sidelined for WP's last 2 matches, while Notshe (AC joint) missed last weekend's 33 / 15 win over ORC Griquas at Newlands.
Both players were back at training on Monday will be available for selection this week.
Scrumhalf Jano Vermaak, who had been sidelined in recent weeks by a finger injury, is also back at training and may be considered.
ABSA Currie Cup pacesetters the Xerox Golden Lions and Vodacom Blue Bulls continued with their unbeaten run over the weekend, while 2014 winners DHL Western Province returned to winning ways after suffering 2 losses in a row.
The Xerox Golden Lions are top of the Premier Division Log standings thanks to a 37 / 21 win over the embattled Eastern Province Kings.
Despite racing into a 19 / 0 lead very early on, the EP Kings rallied back with a spirited performance and the Golden Lions could only seal their success with a late surge on Saturday evening in Johannesburg.
Thanks to their bonus-point win at home, the Golden Lions now Top the log with 25 Log points, 1 more than the Vodacom Blue Bulls, who triumphed 24 / 17 over a resilient Toyota Free State Cheetahs on a cold and wet Friday evening in Pretoria.
Western Province turned on the style in the 2nd half to score a much needed bonus-point 33 / 15 victory over the ORC Griquas at DHL Newlands on Saturday after suffering 2 consecutive defeats. The Cape side have 15 points and remains in 3rd spot.
At Growthpoint Kings Park in Durban, the Cell C Sharks held off a tremendous effort from the Steval Pumas to make it 2 wins in a row thanks to their close-fought 27 / 26 win over the visitors. The Sharks are 4th on the Log and just 2 points behind DHL WP.
DHL Western Province look set to lose their 2nd captain this Currie Cup season.
Juan de Jongh is still a long term concern after the knee injury he picked up mid-August against the Toyota Free State Cheetahs, and now Nizaam Carr faces a spell on the sidelines too.
The WP No 8 left the field towards the end of the 1st half in his side's eventual 33 / 15 win over ORC Griquas at Newlands on Saturday, and coach John Dobson confirmed after the match that his skipper was doubt for next weekend's trip to the Cell C Sharks.
"Very much so," was his response when asked if Carr was now in doubt for the Sharks game.
A DHL Western Province Under 21 player collapsed on the field of play after suffering a cardiac arrest during his team's ABSA Provincial Under 21 match against the Leopards at DHL Newlands on Saturday.
Rapid response emergency procedures were immediately activated. This resulted in a successful resuscitation on field and the player was subsequently transferred to ICU for further investigations and medical care.
WP Rugby would like to thank the specialist medical team, as well as the ER24 on-duty crew, for their swift actions.
At this stage, the player cannot be named until his family has been informed in full about the incident. We further request that the media respect the player and his family's privacy during these tough times.

DHL Newlands, Cape Town at 17:05 SA Time (15:05 GMT).
This was the live match discussion Article.
The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1 & M-Net on TV in SA.
Springbok training squad members Scarra Ntubeni and Steven Kitshoff will both start in the front row for DHL Western Province in Saturday's ABSA Currie Cup clash against ORC Griquas at DHL Newlands.
Ntubeni replaces Bongi Mbonambi at hooker, whilst Kitshoff comes in for Ali Vermaak at loosehead prop, with coach John Dobson making a total of 5 personnel changes to the starting line-up that went down 21 / 28 to the Toyota Free State Cheetahs in Bloemfontein last Friday.
The other changes to the DHL WP starting 15 sees Nic Groom and Kurt Coleman team up as halfback pairing, whilst livewire flanker Chris Cloete will start in the No 6 jersey with Rynhardt Elstadt filling in for Sikhumbuzo Notshe (shoulder) in the No 7 shirt.
On the bench, meanwhile, Chris van Zyl is over his knee injury to slot in as the lock replacement, fit-again Jurie van Vuuren will provide loose forward cover and inside back Robert du Preez is set for his 1st taste of ABSA Currie Cup action this season.
DHL Western Province flank Sikhumbuzo Notshe will miss this Saturday's Currie Cup clash against ORC Griquas with an AC Joint injury.
The impressive Notshe is not expected to be out for longer than a week, but coach John Dobson does have some loose forward options to replace him.
"Jurie van Vuuren is back to full fitness and someone like Chris Cloete deserves an opportunity, after coming off the bench so far," coach John Dobson said.
"Chris starting would mean Rynhardt Elstadt moving back to No 7, but we're comfortable either way in our players."
In other news, Springbok squad member Steven Kitshoff (loosehead prop) and Barbarians representative Nic Groom (scrumhalf) are both available for selection this week.

The Toyota Free State Cheetahs and DHL Western Province did battle in the ABSA Currie Cup at
Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein at 19:10 SA Time (17:10 GMT).
This was the live match discussion Article.
The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1 & CSN on TV in SA.
Wing Kobus van Wyk is back in the DHL Western Province line-up for Friday evening's ABSA Currie Cup clash against the Toyota Free State Cheetahs at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein.
DHL WP, the defending ABSA Currie Cup champions, will be looking to bounce back from last weekend's defeat to the Vodacom Blue Bulls in Pretoria and Van Wyk's inclusion is 1 of 3 changes to the starting line-up this time around.
The hard-running Van Wyk comes in for Dillyn Leyds on the right-wing, scrumhalf Godlen Masimla replaces Nic Groom, who is on Barbarians duty in London, and Alistair Vermaak starts at loosehead prop in place of the injured Oli Kebble.
Kebble's hamstring has not recovered sufficiently from the weekend, whilst exciting talent Masimla will make his 1st ABSA Currie Cup start for DHL Western Province in the absence of both Groom and Jano Vermaak, who injured his finger against the Vodacom Blue Bulls.
Fit-again halfback Louis Schreuder is the new scrumhalf replacement and he will be joined on the bench by ABSA Currie Cup debutant JP Smith – the new prop replacement – and lock Jan de Klerk, who comes in for the injured Chris van Zyl (knee).
Springbok stars Frans Malherbe, Eben Etzebeth, Siya Kolisi and Damian de Allende have all committed their long-term rugby futures to DHL Western Province and the DHL Stormers.
Prop Malherbe, lock Etzebeth, flanker Kolisi and centre De Allende are in contention to represent South Africa at the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England, having all been part of the Springbok squad this season after stellar Vodacom Super Rugby campaigns for the DHL Stormers.
Between them, the quartet have featured in 61 Tests, Etzebeth leading the way with 37 Test appearances since his debut against England in 2012, with Malherbe (6 Tests) and Kolisi (11 Tests) making their debuts in 2013 and De Allende (7 Tests) playing his 1st international in 2014.
"Frans Malherbe, Eben Etzebeth, Siya Kolisi and Damian de Allende have all been developed here at Western Province, coming through our youth structures and going on to play Test rugby for South Africa as standout DHL Stormers and DHL Western Province players," said WP Director of Rugby Gert Smal.
DHL Western Province coach John Dobson pulled no punches in the wake of his team's humiliating 29 / 47 loss to the Vodacom Blue Bulls.
The Blue Bulls, having trailed 15 / 16 at halftime and then 15 / 26 early in the 2nd half, went on to score 5 unanswered tries in the last half-hour – culminating in a 2nd-half rout in Pretoria at the weekend.
Dobson, who admitted to being embarrassed by his team's performance, was particularly incensed at the behaviour of some players after wing Dillyn Leyds scored an intercept try in the 45th minute.
"We scored an intercept try – as the Bulls were about to score themselves – and we celebrated like we had won the game," an irate Dobson said.
"To me the signs were already on the wall there," he said of the celebratory dances behind the post, adding: "That was poor behaviour by us.
"If you score a 12-phase try, fair enough. They were about to score.
"That was a 14-point turnaround – it could have been much worse."

This was the live match discussion Article.
The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1 & M-Net on TV in SA.
2 Of the tournament's pace-setters are going head-to-head on Saturday. But it is no ordinary match. It is the BIG north-south derby – the Vodacom Blue Bulls hosting DHL Western Province in the feature match of the weekend, when they meet in Pretoria on Saturday.
They are 2 of only 3 remaining unbeaten sides.
However, before we get there we have 2 Friday games – which will feature 3 teams still seeking their 1st win.
The winless Eastern Province Kings host an ambitious Steval Pumas team in Port Elizabeth, while the central unions partners (and rivals) ORC Griquas and Toyota Free State Cheetahs will meet in Kimberley.
Griquas and Cheetahs are also both still winless.
The Cell C Sharks, fresh from their 1st win of the season, host the high-flying Xerox Golden Lions in Saturday's early match before we get to the BIG derby at Loftus Versfeld.
The Vodacom Blue Bulls are currently sitting at Top of the standings – as a result of their greater points difference over their Gauteng neighbours, the Xerox Golden Lions – with both on a full-house 10 Log points.
DHL Western Province are 1 Log point further back (9) in 3rd place.
The Cell C Sharks (5 points), Steval Pumas (4), Toyota Free State Cheetahs (1), EP Kings (1) and ORC Griquas (1) trail behind the pace-setters.
We look at all the Round 3 matches!
DHL Western Province backline ace Johnny Kotze has been entrusted with the No 13 jersey for Saturday's ABSA Currie Cup clash against the Vodacom Blue Bulls at Loftus Versfeld.
Kotze, 22, replaces the injured Juan de Jongh at outside centre in the only starting change from last weekend's hard-fought 9 / 3 win over the Toyota Free State Cheetahs in Cape Town.
Kotze made 8 Vodacom Super Rugby starts for the Stormers earlier this season (on the wing), but this will be his 1st ABSA Currie Cup start – having made his tournament debut off the bench 2 weeks ago against the ORC Griquas.
DHL Western Province coach John Dobson told the www.wprugby.com website: "It was always our intention to get Johnny into the No 13 jersey at some point, but of course, it has now been necessitated by Juan's injury.
Has the world gone mad? The Vodacom Blue Bulls will be playing an expansive game and DHL Western Province will kick for territory.
That is what is on the cards when South Africa's biggest derby, the north-south Currie Cup showdown between the Blue Bulls and WP, take place at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
Province have made it clear they want to build 'scoreboard pressure', building up a healthy lead before looking for tries and bonus points.
One gets the feeling the WP brains trust believe the Blue Bulls can't chase a game once they are behind.
Both WP coach John Dobson and new captain Nizaam Carr said they will not be lured into a helter-skelter contest and will back their structures to wear the Blue Bulls down.
DHL Western Province were dealt a cruel blow with the news that captain Juan de Jongh has been ruled out of action for 8 to 10 weeks.
De Jongh suffered a knee injury in the 49th minute of last Saturday's 9 / 3 win over the Toyota Free State Cheetahs.
The Springbok centre – who captained WP to Currie Cup glory last season – suffered a Grade 2 Medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear, which could potentially see him only return in time for the Currie Cup play-offs in October.
The Xerox Golden Lions, Vodacom Blue Bulls and the DHL Western Province all achieved successive wins in the 2nd Round of the ABSA Currie Cup played over the weekend.
In Durban, the Cell C Sharks opened their account with a win over the Eastern Province Kings, which means the EP Kings, Toyota Free State Cheetahs and the ORC Griquas are still searching for their 1st win after 2 Rounds of Premier Division matches.
At Emirates Airline Park in Johannesburg the Xerox Golden Lions survived a bruising battle against the Steval Pumas to win 44 / 27 (halftime 20 / 10) on Friday night. In another Friday evening clash Vodacom Blue Bulls flyhalf Tian Schoeman contributed 21 points to steer his team to a 36 / 12 victory over the ORC Griquas at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria. Griquas led 12 / 6 at halftime.
DHL Western Province beat the Toyota Free State Cheetahs 9 / 3 in driving rain on Saturday afternoon to hand new coach, John Dobson, his 1st ABSA Currie Cup win at DHL Newlands in Cape Town. In the late Saturday kick-off the Cell C Sharks fought off a determined challenge from the Eastern Province Kings to claim a 33 / 25 (half-time 18 / 10) victory at Growthpoint Kings Park.
The Blue Bulls and the Golden Lions have both collected the maximum 10 Log Points on offer from their 2 outings and the Gauteng rivals are closely followed by defending champions, Western Province, who have 9 Log Points.

Fringe hooker Scarra Ntubeni has been released by the Springbok coaching staff.
Ntubeni, who did not travel with the team to Argentina on Wednesday this week, will be returning to DHL Western Province.
He was 1 of the members of the broader Springbok squad that stayed behind in Durban, while the matchday squad headed to Buenos Aires for the final match ahead of the Rugby World Cup.
DHL Western Province head coach John Dobson has named an unchanged starting line-up for Saturday's ABSA Currie Cup clash against the Toyota Free State Cheetahs at DHL Newlands.
Dobson has rightly kept faith with the starting line-up that did duty against ORC Griquas last weekend, but lock Jan de Klerk and back Kobus van Wyk come onto the bench against the Cheetahs.
De Klerk replaces Chris van Zyl in a rotational switch, whilst Van Wyk comes in for Johnny Kotze, who took a bang to his head at training on Monday.
Defending ABSA Currie Cup champions, DHL Western Province, the Vodacom Blue Bulls and the Xerox Golden Lions all scored impressive wins in the opening Round of South Africa's premier provincial competition over the weekend.
The 1st Round of the famous competition saw a number of outstanding individual performance as the teams got their new campaign underway. 6 Of the 8 teams started with new coaches at the helm, while several of the line-ups included numerous Junior Springboks and also a few Springbok Sevens stalwarts.
Springbok scrumhalf Francois Hougaard gave a masterclass performance for the Vodacom Blue Bulls, who scored 6 tries in total in their comprehensive 57 / 19 win over the Toyota Free State Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.
In the other match played on Saturday afternoon, Junior Springbok flank Kwagga Smith was equally impressive for the Xerox Golden Lions in Port Elizabeth where he scored a hattrick of tries in their 51 / 14 demolition of the Eastern Province Kings.
Champions Western Province kicked off their campaign in perfect fashion on Friday afternoon with a 6-try victory over the ORC Griquas in Kimberley. Springbok Sevens flyer Seabelo Senatla scored 2 tries to demonstrate his deadly finishing abilities.
Meanwhile, history repeated itself in the late match on Friday when the Steval Pumas beat the Cell C Sharks 33 / 24 in the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit. The score was almost identical to the 32 / 22 shock win of the Pumas over the Sharks in the opening Round fixture of last year at the same venue.
Pumas live-wire flank Marnus Schoeman scored 2 tries and was denied a 3rd by a desperate Thomas du Toit tackle just as he was about to launch himself over the try line.
The Vodacom Blue Bulls currently sit on Top of the Log, thanks to their bonus point win and better points' difference and they are followed by the Xerox Golden Lions, DHL Western Province (both also on 5 points) and the Steval Pumas (4 points).
Griquas (7) 19 / 43 (24) WP (Final Score)
The ORC Giquas and DHL Western Province did battle in the ABSA Currie Cup Premier Division at
GWK Park, Kimberley at 15:30 SA Time (13:30 GMT).
This was the live match discussion Article.
The match was broadcast LIVE on SuperSport 1 & CSN on TV in SA.
New DHL Western Province coach John Dobson has revealed his team for Friday's 2015 ABSA Currie Cup opener against ORC Griquas in Kimberley (kick-off 15:30 SA Time).
Outside centre Juan de Jongh will lead a starting line-up that includes 2 DHL WP Currie Cup debutants, as well as 5 more on the bench. However, the playing squad includes 13 members of the matchday 22 from last year's ABSA Currie Cup Final.
"It's not a totally new team in terms of last season," explained Dobson, "but this team, mainly the pack, has not played together a lot since last year's Absa Currie Cup Final.
"That's the challenge for us, to ensure we get the pack working together as quickly as possible in order to bring our dangerous backline into play."
Front rowers Bongi Mbonambi and Wilco Louw are the 'new' faces in the Province starting XV, despite both having played at Vodacom Super Rugby level for the DHL Stormers already, with Marius Fourie (on loan from the SWD Eagles), Chris van Zyl, Chris Cloete, Jano Vermaak and Johnny Kotze the debutants on the bench.
DHL Western Province edged the EP Kings 21 / 18 in their friendly clash at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday night.
In an exciting finish, the Kings, who trailed 14 / 13 at halftime, stormed on to the attack in the closing minutes but the WP defence held firm for the victory as the sides completed their match preparations for the Currie Cup starting on 8 August.
After a try by WP centre and captain Juan de Jongh gave the visitors a 21 / 13 lead in the 55th minute, the Kings gave themselves a chance at victory when left wing Luther Obi shot through a gap to narrow the margin to 3 points with 6 minutes remaining.
In the 1st half the Kings took a 7 / 0 lead after a try by prop Maks van Dyk, converted by fullback Scott van Breda, who also added 2 penalties.
WP hit back with tries by wings Kobus van Wyk and Seabelo Senatla, both converted by flyhalf Demetri Catrakilis.
New DHL Western Province head coach John Dobson has selected a powerful combination for Saturday's ABSA Currie Cup pre-season clash against the EP Kings in Port Elizabeth (kick-off 19:00 SA Time).
Having fielded a largely untried DHL WP XV selection against the Steval Pumas last weekend, Dobson has recalled most of his 1st-choice players for Saturday's meeting.
Squad captain Juan de Jongh will team up with national skipper Jean de Villiers in the DHL WP midfield, with powerhouse flanker Rynhardt Elstadt named at No 6 upon his return from a leg injury which saw him miss most of the 2015 Vodacom Super Rugby season.
"It's great to have Juan take charge and to welcome back Rynhardt Elstadt," Dobson told the www.wprugby.com website.
"(Prop) JP Smith and (backs) Louis Schreuder, Johnny Kotze and Dillyn Leyds were not considered due to their niggles, which, fortunately, are not of a long-term nature, whilst (hooker) Mikey Willemse, as we know, picked up an injury last weekend which will see him out for 8 to 10 weeks."
Oli Kebble, Bongi Mbonambi and Entienne Swanepoel will pack down in the front row, with Jean Kleyn and Ruan Botha forming an exciting 2nd row combination and Springbok Nizaam Carr, DHL WP's new vice-captain, returning at No 8.
With the arrival of Jano Vermaak at DHL Newlands, Western Province are faced with too much depth at scrumhalf and 1 No 9 possibly has to go.
Western Province have the luxury to choose from Nic Groom, Louis Schreuder, Jano Vermaak and up-and-coming youngster Godlen Masimla as their scrumhalf.
To manage all 4 highly rated No 9's is a concern for Dobson, indicating that loaning 1 out may be the only option.
"To be honest that's a fair source of stress," Dobson said at a Cape Town media briefing.
"That's a position we have real depth and Gert Smal is exploring that.
The issue with the Currie Cup is that unlike during Super Rugby where players lower down the pecking order have an opportunity to get game time in the Vodacom Cup, the next step down from Currie Cup is club rugby and Dobson said that "some of those guys will think its not for them."

Thuraya Introduces Maritime SF2500 Satellite Voice Terminal
[Satellite TODAY 06-20-12] Thuraya and joint development partner Addvalue Communications have unveiled a new SF2500 maritime satellite voice terminal, the companies announced June 19.
The SF2500 will be available to end-users under the Thuraya MarineComms brand. The Indonesian Fisherman Association has already adopted the product and Thuraya expects the offering to attract other global maritime end-users as fuel prices increase and disillusion grows with traditional at-sea communications.
"The Indonesian Fisherman Association is exactly the kind of organization we expect the SF2500 to appeal to, and we are very pleased to see them sign up even before the product's official launch," Thuraya CEO Samer Halawi said in a statement. "Fishing is one of the three most dangerous occupations in the world, but lack of affordability has placed reliable satellite communications outside the reach of many fishermen until now. Smaller form factors and more affordable technology mean it's easier to keep satellite equipment onboard even in very small vessels, making it safer for fishermen to do their jobs and stay in touch with shore."

We spent our layover in our final airline lounge. This was my first time at the Geneva Airport, which struck me as a relic from the 1960's; very outdated and smoky. Unlike all of our other layovers, I was very happy to have the lounge here to escape the general airport areas.

We took the metro to Vatican City which took about 30 minutes to get there and than we had just a short little walk. We had about 5-10 minute walk to Saint Peters.

I usually don't like the courts getting involved in professional sports leagues. But I think the judge's ruling Friday to block the suspensions of five players for violating the league's anti-doping policy is the right thing to do.
U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson said he needed more time to consider the case brought by the players, and therefore four of the five will play this Sunday.
The five players are Kevin and Pat Williams of the Minnesota Vikings and Deuce McAllister, Charles Grant and Will Smith of the New Orleans Saints. Grant is out for the year with an injury, but the other four will play this weekend,
The reason I think this is a good move is because it appears the NFL knew since 2006 that StarCaps, the supplement the players took, contained the banned diuretic Bumetanide.
The NFL believes players should know what they're putting in their bodies, so they put it on them. But if they didn't know that it was in there -- and the label on StarCaps never said it was -- how could they know?
The league supposedly knew and they didn't tell. There's something wrong there. So good for the courts to step in and make this decision.
There needs to be more work done.
Until the facts are there for sure as to why the league didn't tell the players what it knew, then the players should play.
Why should a season be impacted by a bad decision that is rushed? This is the right thing.
Getting the courts involved was good for a change.
