Silmaria desperately struggles to help Rael hold on.
The darkness of the cave was broken only by the small, flickering flames of Rael's makeshift torch. It had spun off into the corner during the struggle with the bear and there it sat, dying. The flame was weak and feeble, yet it would not go out fully. It swirled, sputtering and pitiful, but it clung stubbornly to the torch and sent a tracery of shadows to sprawl in shapes and flittering...Read On

DarkFyre Chapter Fifteen The next day was lost to the blizzard. They spent the better part of it huddled together in their blankets, pressed in close, as near to their small fire as they dared. The stone cliff was a forbidding face of rock and ice, and even with the nearby fire, the ice held strong, glittering with stubborn beauty in the firelight. The blizzard outside was a wild,...Read On

INTRODUCTION TO CEM TECHNOLOGY In the field of pump technology, it is not often that the adjectives "simple" and "state-of-the-art" can be applied to the same design. The need for higher pump efficiencies prompted Eddie Paul to explore the possibilities of a product that qualified on both counts. The CEM is the revolutionary pump, compressor, or engine that resulted from 16 years' research in the field of positive displacement technology. In 1993, the CEM received its first patent as an engine, pump, and compressor by the U.S. Patent Office. It has since been patented in the rest of the world and received its latest improvement patent in 2000.
THE CEM ENGINE The CEM Engine is being developed by E.P. Industries. The CEM Engine will be an efficient method of converting fuel energy into electrical energy. E.P. Industries is now offering interested parties an opportunity to purchase a license for this technology. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com with licensing inquiries. The CEM Engine will be capable of delivering substantially greater performance with greatly reduced manufacturing cost. A novel concept for significantly increasing the efficiency of the four-stroke cycle internal combustion engine, the Department of Defense in 1997 awarded the engine concept an SBIR. The super-charged CEM Engine has the potential to become one of the first self-lubricating, air-cooled, multi-fuel, four-stroke cycle engines to deliver two horsepower/pound. EXCLUSIVE TO THE CEM PUMP * The CEM is a positive-displacement piston pump utilizing rotary
cylinders to increase mechanical efficiencies far above normal piston
pumps. Here's what industry experts say about CEM "As a liquid pump, it is ideal...This
design obviously has massive potential because of its flexibility." CEM Wins Editor's Choice Award! "Firetrucks could get a whole lot smaller
with [this] new multi-purpose device..." "This technology is superior to anything
we have witnessed. My colleagues and I have had the opportunity to
thoroughly review [the] Cylindrical Energy Module... I can confidently
state that the technical feasibility and prognosis for commercial
success are unquestioned." "Versatile little device could serve as
a remarkably powerful pump or an engine." "Batamweight Rotary pump delivers heavyweight
output...The CEM's primary strength lies in its increased output [over
conventional pumps] for a given size." "Engine of ingenuity...an engine more
powerful and lighter in weight than an internal combustion engine." "The birth of a new technology... It operates
on a uniquely different principle, has only 5 moving parts, is simple
and compact, weighs only about 1/5th that of a standard unit, and
can be built at about 1/4th the cost." "This pump is far more efficient than
anything I've seen to date." |

HARD 13 was incredible. deadmau5 was the special guest, playing alongside Steve Duda and Tommy Lee. The balcony was raging harder than the floor and pretty much every person in the place was clearly "on a good one." Here's a couple clips I took followed by some longer clips of each artist, plus the tunes you may in fact be dying to snag after you watch said clips. Oh, dear readers, what a night…
In the clip above, Jack Beats engaged a very enthusiastic crowd with some tunage by our dear friend Sonic C.
Track: Sonic C – Stickin
As you can see, the balcony was the spot to be, with easy access to the upstairs stage and our most distinguished special guests.
Boy 8-Bit was the partiest motherfucker in Club Nokia. I was very pleasantly surprised by his set, which was my clear favorite of the night. And he looks exactly like Tyler Carlson √+
He closed out his set with a very pretty transition between these two:
Heaps of totally fun HARD beach balls were released from the top at the end of Jack Beat's set. This made many people very, very happy and is always a nice touch. Adding simple little extra details like this to your party can have a big effect and is always recommended.
Fake Blood closed off the main stage with Chilly Gonzales' haunting piano cover of Boys Noize and Erol Alkan's brutalizer "Waves" and his own "The Dozens" off his Fix Your Accent EP, which also comes highly recommended. Buy the proper 320 on beatport after you give it a listen.
Finally here's a couple clips of WTF (deadmau5, Steve Duda + Tommy Lee) playing in the very cozy upstairs lounge/bar area. Seeing them play what felt like a house party set with everyone crowded around was a very cool experience and topped off a most impressive HARD event. We were able to stand right behind the mau5 and see what he's doing on his Jazzmutant Lemur in addition to being able to check out Steve Duda's screen, which full of all kinds of complicated geeky waveforms and wonderment. Tommy Lee just generally kept things pretty party.
All in all, a HARD well done. Nice work Gary Richards.
Not studying for finals,

I think it works. I love all the details of an old church. This is a great photo. Neat idea to frame the inset.
This is definitely an eye-catcher! The background photo is so rich with the paper blended in, and the inset photo is perfect. Great job!
Wonderful photo, I love the blending and the frame with the ribbon. Beautiful layout.
Jode, just gorgeous! Beautiful photo and blending and I love the frame (& of course ribbon!) you used around the smaller pic. Your background is amazing - wonderful page.
This is exquisite. What a marvelous photo. The blending gives it a very ethereal feel.

Gorgeous photo. I love the blending and the way you showed us the smaller photo, too. Lovely texture within the photo, and also in the frame and background. Love that ribbon, too!
You just amaze me how you use the most wonderful simple photos and turn them into a glorious work of art

Story highlights
- Whitney Duncan has in fact been married since August 1, 2010
- Before "Survivor" the couple announced their engagement to family and friends
- A rep for Duncan had no comment when asked about her marriage
Whitney Duncan's "Survivor: South Pacific" bio says she is 27, resides in Nashville and is a country music singer.
Check, check, and check. Asked to describe herself in three words, she lists: Outgoing, happy and honest. Check, check and ... not so much.
The blonde, who portrays herself as single on the show, and who was runner-up in Country Weekly's "Hottest Bachelorette" earlier this year, has in fact been married since August 1, 2010, when she secretly wed Donny Fallgatter, 32, in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Fallgatter, from Bismark, North Dakota, is lead singer for the band KingBilly. According to a fellow band member, sparks first flew for the couple when their paths crossed in June 2010 during the CMA Music Festival in Nashville.
"They were good together, and they looked good together," says the source. "They both fell hard."
The romance heated up quickly, and Duncan moved into Fallgatter's home and occasionally traveled and performed with KingBilly while they were on tour. Before Duncan left to compete on "Survivor" in late May, the couple announced their engagement to family and friends.
"Donny was totally faithful while she was gone," says a close friend. "He even went to help out at her parents' house in West Tennessee a couple times."
At one point before returning home, Duncan phoned Fallgatter, and, as Fallgatter told the friend, "He said she sounded weird, like something was up, and not like she was looking forward to seeing him." Fallgatter's suspicions were confirmed in a subsequent call, the friend says, when she confessed that she had developed a relationship with another "Survivor" contestant, Keith Tollefson.
"Donny sent me a text that said, 'Whitney got into a 'Survivor' relationship.' I called him and he was really upset so I went over to his place," says the friend. "That's when he told me that she wasn't his fiancé, but his wife, that they had gotten married the summer before. I was totally shocked."
On August 20, Duncan Tweeted, "Moving furniture all day ... sweeet. I'm gonna be really happy when I get a home one day and never have to move again."
Since then, she and Tollefson have been spotted around Nashville, and she refers to a BF in her Twitter posts. Tollefson, 26, was voted off "Survivor" on the November 2 episode, leaving Duncan to fend for herself.
A rep for Duncan had no comment when asked about her marriage.

SignalSilence® PKA C-α siRNA II from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit PKA C-α expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.
The second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) activates cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA or cAPK) in mammalian cells and controls many cellular mechanisms such as gene transcription, ion transport, and protein phosphorylation (1). Inactive PKA is a heterotetramer composed of a regulatory subunit (R) dimer and a catalytic subunit (C) dimer. In this inactive state, the pseudosubstrate sequences on the R subunits block the active sites on the C subunits. Three C subunit isoforms (C-α, C-β, and C-γ) and two families of regulatory subunits (RI and RII) with distinct cAMP binding properties have been identified. The two R families exist in two isoforms, α and β (RI-α, RI-β, RII-α, and RII-β). Upon binding of cAMP to the R subunits, the autoinhibitory contact is eased and active monomeric C subunits are released. PKA shares substrate specificity with Akt (PKB) and PKC, which are characterized by an arginine at position -3 relative to the phosphorylated serine or threonine residue (2). Substrates that present this consensus sequence and have been shown to be phosphorylated by PKA are Bad (Ser155), CREB (Ser133), and GSK-3 (GSK-3α Ser21 and GSK-3β Ser9) (3-5). In addition, combined knock-down of PKA C-α and -β blocks cAMP-mediated phosphorylation of Raf (Ser43 and Ser259) (6). Autophosphorylation and phosphorylation by PDK-1 are two known mechanisms responsible for phosphorylation of the C subunit at Thr197 (7).

First World Problems - Headphones
Sam Simmons discovers how the frustrations of modern life can break a person. In this episode Sam has some knots in his headphones.
In a perfect world, all electronics would be cordless.
Think about how many times you've tripped over your laptop charger, or the countless occasions on which you've found your iPod earbuds at the bottom of your gym bag in a knotted mess.
Begrudge their inconvenience as we may, most of the devices we use still depend on cords — whether they serve to transfer information or electricity.
However, as Bluetooth technology has expanded its scope, wireless headphones have become widely — though not cheaply — available. Bluetooth-powered headphones eliminate the problem of cord tangling entirely, but there's hope yet for those of us who still plug in to tune in.
iCoil, Colin Kent's first Kickstarter project, is a simple, circular plastic accessory that winds your headphone cable two ways — allowing it to extend and retract according to your needs.
Kent mentions that most of the cord winding devices that are available to consumers right now come with their own set of earbuds that cannot be swapped out for another pair. And more often than not, these headphones are of a poorer quality than those the user owns. Kent's design, on the other hand, is essentially universal — giving people the freedom to use iCoil with the headphones of their choice.
Since its launch on June 8, iCoil has raised almost $US11,000 from backers. The project is already fully funded and still has more than 20 days to go. With a $US11 pledge on Kickstarter, the iCoil and tangle-free listening can be yours.

In six weeks, traffic is expected to again be flowing in both directions along a portion of Arapahoe Avenue near downtown Boulder.
Aug. 15 can't come soon enough for some businesses along that stretch.
That date marks the scheduled completion of a $5 million reconstruction of Arapahoe from Folsom Street west to 15th Street.
The project — which involves replacing the rutted and crowning asphalt with concrete, improving underground utilities, reconstructing damaged sidewalks and performing minor landscaping — is the first major road reconstruction to occur there in 20 years and was funded by the $49 million Capital Improvement Bond approved by Boulder voters in 2011.
The concrete is less-susceptible to failures, pot holes and rutting, requires less maintenance and should last 25 to 30 years, said Noreen Walsh, a transportation planner for the city.
The project also will allow for better utilities and the installation of storm sewer lines — something the street lacked in the past, she said.
"Arapahoe Avenue is a major east-west corridor ... it was just an area that needed to be addressed," she said.
All lanes are expected to be open by Friday, Aug. 15, she said, noting that some landscaping work will continue through parts of the fall.
Because of the project's nature and the artery's proximity and necessity to the University of Colorado and Boulder High School, the construction was sliced into three phases, with the major overhauls of the road occurring in the summers of 2013 and 2014.
But for a seasonal business like Rocky Mountain Anglers, the timing is problematic.
"Could you imagine how gridlocked it would be if there was construction (during the school year)? I understand that," said Randy Hicks, owner of the fly shop at 1904 Arapahoe Ave. "It's just a bummer for us to have it fall two years in a row when I'm supposed to be my busiest."
Hicks estimates that his store has taken a sales hit upward of 20 percent.
It's an easy situation to complain about, Hicks said, but he noted he's taken the approach that he would rather "make lemonade from the lemons."
He extended the store's hours to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. — an hour on both ends — and has told his crew to put an even greater emphasis on customer service.
Hicks also launched an Intro to Fly Fishing course on Sundays for beginners, started doing a little grilling on Saturdays and also decided to cater to past requests and begin selling inner tubes.
"If these three to four little things can help keep me viable and put a little turn in the register, then I think the overall sting in the whole situation isn't that bad," he said. "But don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to Aug. 15. I'm looking forward to Aug. 15 for sure."
'Out of business'
Other neighboring businesses are biding their time as well.
Business at the SnarfBurger shack at 2000 Arapahoe Ave. has been "killed" during the past two summers, said Jim Seidel, the Snarf's Sandwich Shop chief executive officer who opened the burger-based concept in April 2013.
"A lot of our customers come from all over; they just don't come when the road's closed or under construction like that," he said, noting the street's current state that includes eastward-only traffic between 17th and Folsom streets. "I imagine if I was a small business owner, I would be out of business."
To endure the slower times, Seidel has not raised any prices to account for pricier ingredients. As the margins get lower, SnarfBurger has to eat the cost.
'Nothing for us'
Randy Leever, who has run the Boulder Stained Glass Studios at 1920 Arapahoe Ave. since 1976, said this two-summer stretch has been the most difficult time his operation has faced in its 38 years.
The stained glass business has seen a 50 percent drop in business, Leever said, noting the walk-in traffic has been essentially non-existent.
"People aren't out walking up and down the street," he said, noting the typical traffic of guests from the neighboring Quality Inn & Suites, visitors to the bed and breakfast and Saturday morning Farmers' Market traffic.
Leever said he wishes that the city would install a large sign at 17th Street indicating the businesses just east to Folsom.
He said that while he understands the city has put attention and dollars to help businesses in the construction-riddled West End of Pearl Street, he was disappointed to not receive much attention.
"They get one-half and full-page ads for them, but nothing for us," he said.

Caesars Entertainment Corp. shuffled its Las Vegas and Atlantic City resort management executives Tuesday, moving a regional president from the Strip to the east coast.
The company, which has 10 properties on or near the Strip, said Eileen Moore, currently president of the company's Mid-North Regional Division, will come to Las Vegas to oversee three casinos.
Moore will be a regional president and general manager of the Flamingo, The Quad and the $180 million Gansevoort development after receiving required regulatory approvals, said company spokesman Gary Thompson.
Prior to her role in Illinois and Southern Indiana, Moore was assistant general manager at Harrah's New Orleans. Moore also was vice president of slots and revenue management in the Caesars corporate offices. She began her career as executive associate to company Chairman Gary Loveman.
On Monday, Caesars told the Press of Atlantic City that Rick Mazer, who had overseen the Flamingo, Quad and Gansevoort, along with Harrah's Las Vegas and development of the $550 million Linq project, was headed to Atlantic City.
According to a filing with the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, Mazer was seeking licensing as a key employee, senior vice president and general manger of Harrah's Atlantic City.
Thompson said Mazer will oversee a $125.8 million convention center expansion at Harrah's Atlantic City and the company's proposed $1 billion hotel-casino development in Boston with the Suffolk Downs Race Track.
Caesars also operates Bally's, Caesars, and the Showboat on the Atlantic City Boardwalk; and Harrah's Philadelphia racetrack casino in Chester Pa. as part of the company's Eastern gaming operations.
Caesars has not had an Eastern Division president since January's departure of Don Marrandino, who directed the Atlantic City casinos since 2009 and left for undisclosed reasons.
Thompson said Caesars Palace President Gary Selesner will oversee Harrah's Las Vegas while Jon Gray is the general manager of The Linq, which opens next year.

Thread: Severed cables disrupt Internet
01-31-2008 #1
Severed cables disrupt Internet
Internet services have been disrupted in large parts of the Middle East and India following damage to two undersea cables in the Mediterranean.
There was disruption to 70% of the nationwide network in Egypt, and India suffered up to 60% disruption.
UK firms such as British Airways have told the BBC that call centres have been affected by the outage.
Industry experts said it could take up to one week to repair the damaged cables and resume full service.
International telephone calls, which have also been affected, are being rerouted to work around the problem.
'Degraded performance'
Disruption also occurred in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, reported the Associated Press.
In Dubai, at least two internet service providers (ISPs) were affected.
An official at the provider, DU, told AP that a fault in a cable between Alexandria, Egypt, and Palermo, Italy, was to blame.
DU issued a statement to alert customers to "a degradation in internet services and international voice calls for some customers during peak times".
The company said it was due to "cuts in two international submarine cable systems in the Mediterranean Sea this morning (Wednesday).
"We are working actively with the submarine cable system operators (FLAG Telecom and SEA-ME-WE 4) to ascertain the reasons for the cables being cut," it said.
FLAG Telecoms operate the Fiber-Optic Link Around the Globe (FLAG), a 28,000km (17,400 mile) long submarine communications cable.
SEA-ME-WE 4, or the South East Asia-Middle East-West Europe 4 project, as it is known, is a submarine cable system linking South East Asia to Europe via the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East.
Repair work
Neither of the cable operators have confirmed the cause or location of the outage but some reports suggest it was caused by a ship's anchor near the port of Alexandria in Egypt.
One Indian internet service provider, Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL), linked the problems in India to the disruption in Egypt.
Egypt's Telecommunications Ministry said it would probably take several days for internet services to return to normal following the disruption on Wednesday.
Emergency teams were trying to find alternative communication routes, including satellites, AP was told.
The ministry's Rafaat Hindy said: "Despite this being an international cable affecting many Gulf and Arab countries, we are closest to it and so we have a lot of responsibility.
"We are working as fast as we can."

Staff Choice, Keith, Holborn and Great Portland Street.
The hands are the main area that people suffer with and this is hardly surprising as they are the most exposed and have less blood flowing through the fingers than pretty much any other part of the body. Add to that the fact that you're probably resting them on a pair of frozen metal rods and it's now wonder you're feeling the cold.
There are a lot of very good heated products on the market, such as EXO2 heated gloves and Oxford heated grips, both of which I'd recommend if you're journey takes much longer than half an hour.
Personally I use neither of these for my 15 mile ride into town every day. I own a good thick pair of winter motorcycle gloves and for me the best all round bolt on for to keep out the chills is a set of handlebar muffs.
I'm always amazed at the looks of revulsion I get when I suggest people put these on their bike as an economic and affective way of making their life bearable.
Have a look at the couriers who are out there all day every day. It's rare you'll see one without some form of protection on his or her bars. In fact because of the nature of their work some will have fingerless gloves on under those muffs so that they can get the best from their heated grips.
The science is very simple, if you'd like a break down click here and see the numbers for yourself. Basically with muffs on you're hands are sitting in still air, so at 50mph your hands are being attacked by O tempratures instead of minus 31!
Muffs also help keep your gloves dry when the weather is at it's worst and on a recent soaking wet trip down to Dover from London and back I can confirm that they worked just fine.
My only gripe is that you have to manipulate the switchgear through the neoprene and this can be a bit awkward with thick gloves on. Still it's a small hassle for the benefits handlebar muffs give. I managed to make it into work on every miserable winters day with no real problems at all. For me these truly are essential winter kit.
A long running success story, Oxford Products are based just outside their namesake University city. Started in 1973, Oxford Products have gone from strength to strength and now export their own products to 60 countries worldwide, as well as distributing some World Class brands like HJC Helmets and Alpinestars
Oxford Products themselves have led the way in a few areas too; Oxford Lifetime Luggage is the benchmark soft luggage-travel anywhere in the world and if there are bikes, there will be Oxford Luggage fitted to some of them. Hotgrips by Oxford Products are second to none some clever technology (for example, if your battery voltage drops, the Oxford Hotgrips know to cut out rather than completely kill your battery) means they are the choice of riders like the Russian Police force. Since many of the staff at Oxford Products are active motorcyclists, products are tested and developed in the UK, in the same weather and conditions as most of our customers and us.
If youre reading this thinking about tucking your motorbike away for the colder months, may we suggest you look at the range of Oxford Products Battery Optimisers great value and offer at least as many features as the competition. Many of our customers use their Oxford Products battery optimisers on cars and even boats - an Oxford Optimiser 600 has saved many of us here from unplanned battery purchases for the last few years!

Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), byname of U.S. Public Law 104-199., law in force from 1996 to 2013 that specifically denied to same-sex couples all benefits and recognition given to opposite-sex couples. Those benefits included more than 1,000 federal protections and privileges, such as the legal recognition of relationships, access to a partner's employment benefits, rights of inheritance, joint tax returns and tax exemptions, immigration or residency for noncitizen partners, next-of-kin status, protection from domestic violence, and the right to live together in military or college housing.
DOMA mandated that states banning same-sex marriage were not required to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states and further elucidated that, for the purposes of federal law, marriage could occur only between a man and a woman. The act was introduced with overwhelming support in Congress amid speculation that the state of Hawaii would soon legalize same-sex marriage, thereby forcing other states to recognize same-sex marriages that had taken place in Hawaii. President Bill Clinton signed DOMA into law on September 21, 1996. After that time some 40 states enacted explicit bans on same-sex marriage in either state laws or state constitutions.
Under DOMA a nonbiological parent in a same-sex couple was unable to establish a legal relationship with the child or children of the biological parent; same-sex partners were unable to take family medical leave to care for such nonbiological children or for their partners, to adopt children, or to petition the court for child support, visitation, or custody if the relationship ended.
Proponents of DOMA viewed opposite-sex marriage as the only appropriate context for procreation and family formation. According to DOMA supporters, same-sex marriage validated alternative family formations, destabilized opposite-sex marriage and monogamy, and encouraged incestuous relationships and polygamous marriage. Opponents argued that such narrow definitions of marriage and family devalued all other types of relationships and families, discriminated on the basis of sex, and conflated homosexuality with incest and polygamy.
DOMA's definition of marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in United States v. Windsor (2013). The provision of the law that had permitted states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions was invalidated by the court in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015), which granted to same-sex couples a constitutional right to marry.

04-26-2013, 10:47 PMWell SF Pride tried to cover itself on this one, but I suspect that what happened was that the grand marshal committee (made up of former grand marshals) got overridden after an unexpected national "Oh no you did-dint!" from the gay community.
Earlier today it was announced that Bradley Manning would be the grand marshal and that Daniel Ellsberg would stand in for him. The gay service members association and spouses of gay servicemen, and all manner of just plain everybody except the nutjobs in SF responded with a loud "No, we won't".
It was announced a little while ago that the entire thing was a mistake made by a parade associate who didn't have the authority to make such an announcement.

Manning wont be attending any parades...or anything else for a fair number of years.
He has..shall we say, obligations elsewhere

Olde-style, states' rights conservative. Ask if this concept confuses you.

Monaco FC went to court this week looking to quash a ruling from French football authorities that its privileged tax-free status must come to an end and it must start to pay income tax like any other club.
The French Professional League (LFP) is insisting Monaco move its headquarters to French soil by June 2014, in a case that is polarising opinion in French football. Some believe millions being spent on the club by its Russian owner are injecting much-needed competition into the game. Others say the tax burden faced by other clubs leaves them at a competitive disadvantage.
There is also no little resentment from Monaco's rivals, who ask why a club from one of the wealthiest and most privileged corners of the world should have had tax-free benefits for so long.
Monaco has been a registered French club since 1919. After the French-Monaco tax convention of 1963, which established the principality's tax-free status for foreign and Monégasque nationals, the club began recruiting foreign players.
As the club's fortunes ebbed and flowed, rivals largely left Monaco to its own devices. That changed when fertiliser billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev bought a majority stake in 2011 and began to buy top-quality foreign players to compete with Paris Saint-Germain, the dominant Ligue 1 team, owned by Qatar Investment Authority.
Monaco's promotion back to Ligue 1 at the end of last season accelerated its transfer deals. This summer, it completed the transfer of four coveted Colombian and Portuguese internationals in deals worth a combined £110m.
Rival clubs, particularly those challenging for lucrative Champions League places, say Monaco's tax-free status is unfair. Monaco has no more than a dozen French players in its squad of 35.
Economist and author Bastien Drut said Monaco's rivals had one eye on President François Hollande's promised 75 per cent tax on incomes of €1m and above, which would include the wealthier football stars in Ligue 1.
"It [the tax] won't be a problem for PSG – they really don't care – but it will be a very big problem for clubs such as Lyon, Marseille and St Etienne," he said. "It will create a two-speed Ligue 1."
A piqued Monaco is taking the dispute to the Conseil d'Etat, the top court for administrative justice, to get the LFP ruling annulled, though that may take months. On Thursday, the Conseil d'Etat heard Monaco's case for the ruling's suspension. A decision is expected in the next few days.
Its technical argument is that the ruling is a violation of French and European law on free movement and competition and free access to sporting competition.
More widely, it argues its squad investment will attract more spectators and is good for the development of French football. It says it has "always considered itself part of the family of French football", developing players for the national team such as Thierry Henry and David Trezeguet.
"To have this decision imposed on us by the French football authorities without any consultation, at a time when we are making investments that will have a positive influence on all of French football, is very disappointing," says Monaco. "It threatens the very future of Monaco football club and that is why we will continue to contest it vigorously."
The LFP is in a difficult position, said Mr Drut. A stronger Monaco that can compete with PSG gives French football a better competition and the chance to drive up the price of its TV rights.
"It has to be very pragmatic and find an agreement. This is what will happen at the end," said Mr Drut.
At a meeting last month between Mr Rybolovlev and Noël Le Graët, FFF president, a sum of €200m was raised as a one-off settlement to avoid Monaco relocating. The judgment from the Conseil d'Etat will influence if and when they meet again.

For women, in my experience, size I is an extra small but again, it depends on the fit of the particular top. Most of the tops my friend tried last summer (especially those with the crossed open back) were a bit tight and although she usually wears a size II in SS, she had to size up.
It's generally better to ask the retailer before purchasing to avoid surprises.

Rule of law
I was led to believe that the U.S. is a country with a strong rule of law. That there is this thing called due process and anyone is innocent until proven guilty. But are we still a nation of law? So far, Wikileaks has not been convicted of a crime. In fact, it has not even been charged with a crime. This fact alone does not prevent invertebrate-like private corporations from terminating services for Wikileaks. Amazon stopped hosting web services for Wikileaks after receiving a phone call from a staff of Senator Joe Lieberman. Another Seattle-based firm Tableau disabled its service for Wikileaks in response to a public request by the same Senator. PayPal blocked Wikileaks payments and froze its account because of a State Department letter sent to Wikileaks. Mastercard and Visa halted payments to Wikileaks, most likely under pressure from the U.S. government. Post Finance, part of the Swiss postal service, froze Julian Assange's bank account because he provided "false information" regarding his domicile when he opened his account. Remember, all these organizations were pressured not to service Wikileaks when it has not been charged with any wrong doing. Where is the rule of law we Americans so proudly proclaimed as a fabric of our nation? May be i should not have been all that surprise since this is the same country where the President can order Americans be assassinated without any due process.
