In an attempt to transform its stuffed shirt and blazer image, the Football Association dispensed with the outdated job interview process in choosing the latest England manager this time round. Having been invited to sit in on the sophisticated selection process, I can offer this exclusive insight into Fabio Capello's appointment.
Brucie: Nice to see you...to see you nice.
(Cue familiar Strictly Come Managing theme tune).
Brucie: (after milking the applause for an eternity): What a lovely audience. And what a show we have for you tonight...our grand finale. After starting out with hundreds of applicants, we are down to the very last four. Three will be going home with nothing but for our lucky winner, life will never be the same again. (Aside) And you can say that again.
But before we meet them, I must introduce our four stooges, sorry, I mean our esteemed judges. From the far right - about as far right as you can go, in fact - President George Bush...from Los Angeles out of Essex, the First Lady of style, Victoria Beckham - that's right, dear, give us a twirl. What a lovely dress; it's just a pity there isn't more of it. And you don't get anything for a pair, not in this game. Next, the man of a thousand voices, Mr Rory Bremner...and last and certainly not least in terms of salary, Jonathan Ross.
But now it's time to meet the stars of our show, our contestants (aside) whoever they are. Please welcome...the Frenchman! (whisper) You're my favourite...
Frenchman: Good moaning.
Rory: Good heavens! He's pretending to be Officer Crabtree pretending to be a gendarme in Allo! Allo! I thought I did the impressions around here?
Brucie: The Swede (whisper) You're my favourite...
Swede: Oh, vow! Whoo ees zee taw-ttie veeth zee cleefege?
Jonathan: Do my eyes deceive me awe haven't we head that voice somewhay befowah?
Bruce: The Portuguese. (Whisper) You're my favourite...
Portuguese (singing): I get no kick from champagne,
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all,
So tell me why should it be true,
That I get a kick out of me!
Brucie: He's worn out three mirrors in the dressing room during rehearsals. And finally, completing our quality quartet, The Italian.. (Whisper) You're my favourite....
Victoria: Oooooh, please make it that nice Monsoor Armani.
Italian: No, 'tis I. Fabio il Fabiolous.
Brucie: Don't forget, play your cards right and it could be your lucky night. And now over to our judges...
George: Ah'm mighty proud to be a merkan...
Jonathan: He's mighty pwoud to be a what?
Rory: A merkan. As in merkan football or as merkan as apple pie...
George: As ah was sayin' befo'e bean so roodly interrupted, ah'm mighty proud to be a merkan, so why do ya'll wanna be English? Frenchman: Because I have pissed the pest unleaven years werking in Lindun with Ersenal so I am a real poorly kong. And if I win the Werld Cap for Her Mujasty, I will be given a nightshade, oui?
Rory: Non, but I have question for The Swede. You had this job before and resigned, saying - and here I quote: Eh vood raazeer cwech Kezeekstun, Effghuneestun or Tezeekstun than heff too vurk veet a bunch oof fuutbellers whoo cun nut skewer frum the penalty spoat ifer egeen. So what's changed?
Swede: Yoo shooed nut beleefe iferyzeeng yoo are reeden in zee noospeppers. Eh now reyalize zat zair eez ounly wen mon whooo con lead Ingaylund to Vurreld Coop glory an' zat mon eez mee Eh ipullogise fur vawking oot und leefing zat moppet Steef Mehklurren in cherge. Burk! Burk! Burk!
Victoria: Monsoor Fabio. In your expert opinion, if you had to choose between Patek Philippe or Audemars Piguet which would you go for?
Italian: Ne sono spiacente ma ho mai sentito parlare di nessuno dei due. Sono in sciopero, centrocampisti o difensori?
Victoria: Ooooh, whadiddeesigh?
Rory: Ne sono spiacente....
Victoria: Nah, whadiddeesigh in English?
Rory: Basically, he's never heard of either and wants to know if they are strikers, midfielders or defenders.
Victoria: He's having a giraffe, ain't he? They're watches and with my David's birthday comin' up, I can't make up my mind between the Patek Philippe 10 Day Tourbillon at $280,000 or the Audemars Piguet Millenary Limited Edition MC 12 which is a real snip at $243,500.
Italian: Come potrei sapere circa tali cose? Non guadagno nulla come il vostro David. Questo lavoro paga soltanto sei millioni.
Victoria: Whaddide...
Rory: Sigh? Unlike your David he can't afford such things. Even if he gets this job it only pays six million...
Jonathan:...Six million? Six bleedin' million? I wouldn't climb out of bed to close the window for that...
George: Ah'd like to address this to the Portuguese Man of War. As mah pop's good friend Dan Quayle used to say, the future will be better tomorrow. When your sockah's World Series is played next time round, what makes you think that you can succeed where the Bush family failed by toppling Eerack?
Portuguese: Because I am the Chosen One!
(Sings): I'm the top!
I'm Mahatma Gandhi.
I'm the top!
I'm Napoleon Brandy...
Brucie: Didn't he do well? I reckon that'll be worth quite a few points from the judges. And what do points mean....?
Audience: Prizes...! Rory (as Sir Sean Connery): Chelshea...Mancheshter Shitty....Arshenal... Juventush...that'sh all very well and good but thish ish the biggesht job in world football....well, in Europe...eh, Britain...well, the biggest job in Britain outshide Shcotland. Sho, gentlemen, why should we give the tashk to you and not Pushy Galore, shay?
Frenchman: Lick at my Ersenal. Pocked full of ying Onglish fatballers roaring to play for their notion.
Jonathan: Oh, weally? How many English pwayers exactly?
Frenchman: Lot me thank...(mutters to himself) Emmanuel Adebayor? Nuh. Vasiriki Abou Diaby. Nuh. Havard Nordtveit? Nuh. (triumphantly) Theo Walcott!
Jonathan: To name but one...
Swede: Beleefe me buys und tuttie lady. Yoo arr nut vonting a Frenchmoon in cherge. Con yoo imegeen Fronce ifer ippunting an Inglishmoon?

Portuguese (sings): I feel pretty,
Oh, so, pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright,
And I pity,
Any man who isn't me tonight...
Brucie: That reminds me. What's the definition of an egotist? Someone who's more interested in himself than me. And, finally, our Italian contestant. Why should the judges vote for you?
Italian: If I can introduce my interpreter - Bruno Tonioli...
Bruno: Apart from having to use a translator - I think my record speaks for itself. Previous England managers have been too weak. I have a reputation for being a sergeant-major. I will be the Craig Revel Horwood of English football not cuddly uncle Len Goodman. I will run the team, not the players. Wherever I have coached, I have always been in charge...
Brucie: Hey, find your own flippin' catchphrase. I'm in charge and I am going to pose the final question: the English have always loved a really funny comic - that's probably the reason why I'm so popular. Believe me, whoever gets this job is going to need a sense of humour, so before I ask the judges to cast their votes, leave 'em laughing....
Swede: According to Freud. What comes between fear and sex? The number funf.
Frenchman: People often come up to me and say 'Arsene, do people really come up to you..?'
Portuguese: What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh...
Italian (via Bruno): Two cannibals are eating a clown when one says to the other: Does this taste funny to you...?
Rory (as Sir Alan Sugar): Fabio - you're hired!

I don't think it's gotten much play outside of Egypt except on Twitter, but hundreds of Egyptians invaded their state security headquarters on Saturday. Despite the fact that reports indicated that the state security was shredding documents for 'days,' there were still some juicy finds like the tape pictured above, which is said to be a 'sex tape' involving a Kuwaiti princess and an Egyptian businessman.
Egyptian protesters have stormed the headquarters of Egypt's state security force in Alexandria, with several people suffering injuries in scuffles with riot police.
Around 1,000 people encircled the State Security Agency building late on Friday, demanding that the officers inside come out or they would storm the building.
Protesters then entered into the building and scuffled with riot police before military forces intervened and took control of the building.
Demonstrators said officers inside had been shredding and burning documents that may have proven past abuses.
The activists, who called the protests were demanding the abolition of the state security apparatus and an end to emergency laws.
Egypt's internal security services and police forces, which were given a free hand to suppress dissent under the rule of ousted president Hosni Mubarak, remain to be a powerful symbol of the former regime.
Activists say security agencies arrested and tortured thousands of activists and killed many during the 30 years Mubarak stayed in power.
Ismael Alexanderani, a journalist and protester at the scene in Alexandria, told Al Jazeera that a minority of protesters were seeking "revenge" against the security forces, as several political activists who were present at the demonstration had been arrested or tortured inside the building earlier.
For those who read Arabic, you can find some of the documents here. The military prevented most of the documents remaining from being removed. If you find anything good, please translate and send it to me.
One of the things that the demonstrators claim to have found is belly-dancing suits. But many of the computers that were found had their hard drives ripped out.
The security services even kept files on the Mubarak's themselves. But I doubt much will come out about anyone else.
though I have to admit the WikiLeaks will be hard to beat. LOLZ Obama and Clinton

New breeds of demanding enterprise applications require the highest level of performance available. Applications such as MySQL, Cassandra, and Hadoop, can take advantage of the fastest CPU, RAM, and storage systems. CenturyLink Cloud Hyperscale servers are comprised of 100% flash storage enabling at least 15,000 IOPS available for applications. In the system overview below some important caveats and design considerations are detailed.learn more about hyperscale
The desired approach for Hyperscale is to deploy programmatically, and use other application features to protect data and configuration where necessary. Hyperscale servers do not include automatic backup functions found in typical CenturyLink Cloud Servers. Instead, they are designed for distributed applications that utilize other methods to backup systems and data.
Anti-Affinity policies make it possible to build and balance additional workloads on separate physical hosts. As Hyperscale utilizes local flash storage, if a physical host experiences any type of failure, the running Hyperscale workload will not be available.
Autoscale policies allow an administrator to pre-configure automatic expansion to ensure peak performance during high usage. Hyperscale servers support Horizontal Autoscale (additional servers or scaling in/out) and Vertical Autoscale (additional CPU/RAM or scaling up/down). In addition, many modern operating systems allow hot-add for CPU/RAM.
Advanced management features such as scheduled tasks and monitoring and alerting, are available for Hyperscale servers as well. These powerful cloud management capabilities give administrators the ability to streamline multiple aspects of a server.
Affordable protection for your on-premise data & production VMs. Avoid the enormous costs of IT downtime and data loss with SafeHaven for CenturyLink Cloud.
Enterprise-grade cloud servers ready for legacy and greenfield business apps.

The impact of climate change in the water sector is a function of biophysical
changes in water quantity and composition, the use to which the water is put,
and the way in which those uses are managed. The implications of climate change
for water resources therefore must be considered in the context of the many
other pressures on water resources and their management. These pressuresand
management responses to themare evolving rapidly, and the water management
system (legal, infrastructural, and institutional) in the future may be very
different in many countries from that at present. Considerable efforts are underway
in many international agencies and organizations (e.g., Global Water Partnership,
World Bank) to improve the way water is used and managed; these actions will
have very significant consequences not only for economies, access to safe water,
and the environment but also for the impacts of climate change. Adaptation to
climate change in the water sector must be considered in the context of these
other changesand, of course, climate change must be considered as a factor
in the development of improved management techniques.
Water is a fundamental component of many economic activities. The impact of
climate change on the quality and quantity of water therefore will be felt by
such economic activities in one way or another. Examples of such linkages are
given in the following subsections.
Changes in hydrological characteristics will lead to changes in aquatic and
wetland ecosystems (as reviewed in Chapter 5)as,
indeed, may some of the actions taken by water managers to adapt to climate
change. In practice, much water management increasingly focuses on ensuring
that human use of water does not adversely impact the water environment, and
maintaining and enhancing environmental quality is regarded as a legitimate
management goal. Environmental demands, of course, will alter as climate changes.
Agriculture also will be affected by water availability, and actions taken
by farmers in response to climate change may impact the water environment. For
example, climate change may increase demands for irrigation from the agricultural
sector, and if these extra needs are withdrawn from rivers or aquifers, there
will be an effect on hydrological and ecological regimes: The direct
effect of climate change on hydrological regimes and ecosystems may be enhanced.
On the other hand, a lack of water resulting from climate change might mean
that increased irrigation demands cannot be met, and changes in the water sector
therefore are impacting directly on agricultural response to climate change.
In addition, changes in agricultural land use resulting directly or indirectly
from climate change may affect catchment water balance and water quality. These
effects may be more substantial than the direct effects of climate change on

our successes
Successful risk indicators
Time and again in the past, our ratings have held our clients back from investing in companies or countries which have run into financial difficulties. For example, Greece was already receiving poor ratings in our sustainability rating at a time when conventional rating agencies were still giving it scores in the A range. The same is true of Italy, Portugal and Spain. And in the corporate sphere, we gave BP and Tepco poor scores for inadequate plant safety well before the events in the Gulf of Mexico (Deepwater Horizon) and Fukushima. In the cases of Enron, Lehman Brothers, Parmalat and many others, our analysts saved investors from economic losses.
Positive impact on risk and return
The debate about whether taking social or environmental criteria into account in investments means foregoing returns, or whether sustainability and returns are linked in the sense of a 'double dividend', is almost as old as sustainable investment itself. This issue features in many of the discussions we have with institutional investors about the pros and cons of sustainable investment. In these, the view - or should one say the prejudice - that sustainable investors fare less well in terms of returns and risk is frequently expressed.
We have spent a long time striving to counter such reservations with solidly-based facts. In the 20 years or so that we have been operating in the sustainable investment market, we have regularly carried out analyses in this area. The results of these have been consistently positive:
Double Dividend with Sustainability Ratings from oekom research – study in cooperation with DPG, the Deutsche Performancemessungs-Gesellschaft für Wertpapierportfolios mbH (2012)
The findings: During the period 31 December 2004 to 31 December 2011, hence over a time period of seven years, the oekom Prime Portfolio Large Caps achieved a return on investment that was 15.30 per cent higher compared to its conventional benchmark, the MSCI World Total Return Index®. In absolute numbers, the cumulative return on investment of the oekom Prime Portfolio Large Caps (weighted by market capitalisation) amounted to 30.90 per cent. Over the same period the MSCI World Total Return Index® achieved a cumulative return on investment of 26.80 per cent. If equal weighting is applied to the securities in the oekom Prime Portfolio Large Caps, their cumulative return on investment even rises to 62.84 per cent. The annual risk of the oekom Prime Portfolio Large Caps (weighted by market capitalisation) was found to be 18.92 per cent, slightly lower than that of the MSCI World Total Return Index® (19,08 per cent).
Download study
What returns can be expected from a sustainable portfolio over the long term? – study by HypoVereinsbank and oekom research on the performance of best-in-class portfolios (2007)
The findings: The study showed that if equal weighting is given to the securities in oekom research's Prime universe, then between 2001 and 2006 they returned an overall gain of 35.8 per cent, while the MSCI World Total Return Index®, a representative benchmark for the market as a whole, recorded a negative yield of -24.0 per cent over the same period. In other words, oekom research's prime universe outperformed the MSCI World by almost 60 percentage points. This analysis did not include companies from oekom's "Potentials" sub-universe.
Sustainability and Business Success – an analysis carried out by oekom research and the Department of Psychology at the Technical University of Munich (2004)
The findings: This study focussed on the correlation between oekom research's sustainability ratings and the returns of the companies rated, as measured by the Return on Investment (ROI) and Earnings Per Share (EPS) indicators, for the period 2001 to 2003. It revealed that there was no negative correlation between the sustainability rating and the financial indicators ROI and EPS. On the contrary, the results of the study confirm statistically significant positive correlations between the overall score in the rating and the ROI and EPS values averaged over the period 2001 to 2003.
Does sustainability produce outperformance? oekom research's "best-in-class" recommendations put to the test – a study by oekom research and Morgan Stanley (2004)
The findings: This analysis compared the performance of companies awarded Prime status by oekom research with that of companies classified as Not Prime. It showed that the Prime portfolio outperformed the Not Prime companies by 16.72 per cent between 2001 and 2004. In eight of the ten sectors looked at, the Prime securities performed better than the comparison group.

Beige Color Embroidered Net Pant Style Suit
'Spring -Romance' Single-Strand Necklace
Saris are traditional women's garments that are primarily worn by people in South Asian countries such as India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Traditional saris have drapes that can be as large as nine yards long and four feet wide. The fact that there are more than 80 different ways to drape them in addition to the multitude of sari fabric choices makes them a versatile garment that is suitable for a number of occasions.
A sari resembles a dress, but is actually a length of fabric that is draped around the body and is free flowing. It may be pinned over the shoulder or left open to reveal the shoulder and draped over the arm instead. A blouse also known as a choli, which bares the midriff, is worn underneath the sari, and this sari blouse may have a variety of different necklines. There is also a special skirt that comes to the ankles and contains multiple pleats. This skirt somewhat resembles a petticoat and has a drawstring waist. Some skirts also have what appear to be flowing trains as well. More elaborate saris also come with their own choli material built in, which must then be taken to a tailor to create the blouse.
Even though it contains elegant, flowing fabric, a sari dress is not just worn on formal occasions, as some are also perfect for everyday wear as well. Casual saris tend to be made of very lightweight fabric, and may contain sheer panels that allow the midriff to be exposed. They also tend to have simpler patterns, and may even be solid colors. Women tend to wear casual saris whenever they are shopping, running errands or visiting friends and relatives.
A wedding sari is traditional marriage attire for many Indian women. In India, red is considered a traditional color for weddings, which is why wedding saris tend to be red with gold embroidery on them. Alternatively, brides who have a traditional marriage ceremony may wear white, gold or cream-colored saris that are adorned with the same type of gold embroidery. Those planning a more modern ceremony might also wear saris that have pink, yellow or orange fabric. Wedding saris are usually made of silk; however, satin, and crepe are popular as well. Brides typically wear these dresses only during the ceremony, and change into another outfit after saying their vows.
Some saris are designed especially for evening wear, and are ideal for formal occasions. These garments tend to be made from silk, crepe or Georgette, which is actually a crepe fabric that has quite a dull finish. They also have sari blouse with shorter sleeves that are cut lower in the back. Evening wear saris may have elaborate details such as beadwork or embroidery, and are normally paired with bangle bracelets and matching earrings and necklaces.
Regardless of the occasion you are buying a sari for, it's important to choose one that is well made. The quality of the fabric is important, as not all of them are made from durable material. To check the quality of fabric, make sure it is equally as thick near the pallu, which is the decorative end of the sari, as it is on the inside of it. You should also check gold threads to see if they are genuine by scraping them lightly and checking to see if red is visible underneath.
For a number of women, an Indian sari is a wardrobe staple they simply cannot live without. With so many options to choose from, it's easy to see why Indian saris continue to be popular, not only in South Asia, but around the world as well.
We have large collection of saris in variety of material, color, workmanship and prints. To name a few, we carry velvet, net, georgette, cotton and silk saris. You will be able to find saris at our online store with jardozi work, kashida work, Parsi embroidery, machine work, hand embroidery and computer prints. We are based in USA and India. We ship custom stitched saris and ready to wear saris all over the world with Free Shipping option! Our Indian jewelry and accessories has free shipping if ordered with apparels like salwar kameez, lehenga choli and saris.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework that addresses the primary barrier to fostering expert learners within instructional environments: inflexible, "one-size-fits-all" curricula. It is inflexible curricula that raise unintentional barriers to learning. Learners who are "in the margins", such as learners who are gifted and talented or have disabilities, are particularly vulnerable. However, even learners who are identified as "average" may not have their learning needs met due to poor curricular design.
In learning environments, such as schools and universities, individual variability is the norm, not the exception. When curricula are designed to meet the needs of an imaginary "average", they do not address the reality learner variability. They fail to provide all individuals with fair and equal opportunities to learn by excluding learners with different abilities, backgrounds, and motivations who do not meet the illusive criteria for "average".
UDL helps address learner variability by suggesting flexible goals, methods, materials, and assessments that empower educators to meet these varied needs. Curricula that is created using UDL is designed from the outset to meet the needs of all learners, making costly, time-consuming, and after-the-fact changes unnecessary. The UDL framework encourages creating flexible designs from the start that have customizable options, which allow all learners to progress from where they are and not where we would have imagined them to be. The options for accomplishing this are varied and robust enough to provide effective instruction to all learners.

21-Day Film Project by Media Konnect is an Initiative to showcase the first time efforts of budding & aspiring film makers from across the World. It gives an opportunity for young film makers to submit their unreleased short films on the Media Konnect portal under the 21-Day Film Project initiative. Media Konnect will go through the submitted short films and shortlist the films down to 10 films. From this final selection of 10 films, Media Konnect will have its expert director panel further narrow down the field to the winning 4 short films. The directors of these 4 short films & their films will be featured prominently on the portal as well as its Marketing communication around the 21-day Film project. Media Konnect will also host a special screening of the winning 4 films to a select jury & media audience as part of this initiative where the winning film makers themselves will be showcased & get a chance to speak about themselves & their future plans.
The 21-Day Film Project is just the start of a slew of Consumer connect initiatives that Media Konnect will roll out in association with Straydog™ over the course of the year as part of its effort to be relevant as a meaningful destination for everyone who is connected with the world of content creation.

Yalie Crybabies
Chatterbox thinks it's unseemly for rich Yale graduates to go bellyaching to the Wall Street Journal about having to pay off their student loans. The thrust of a page-one story in today's Journal is that Yale screwed up back in the 1970s when it instituted a program called the Tuition Postponement Option, which invited Yale students to take out big, long-term loans to pay for their pricey Ivy League education. To repay the loans, the students were required, in effect, to tithe a percentage of their income to Yale; once the debt of an entire "cohort" (i.e., class) was repaid, the tithing would stop. The idea, as William M. Bulkeley's Journal piece points out, was "to help needy students afford an Ivy League education in a way that wouldn't discourage them from pursuing worthy low-paying careers." The Journal headline terms this a " 'Noble Experiment' Gone Awry." (The program was devised by the Nobel Prize-winning economist James Tobin.)
But the only significant way the program seems really to have gone awry is in misjudging the gratitude of those who would benefit from it. Twenty to 30 years on, the richer ones are bitching about how much they've had to pay. "[E]asily the worst financial decision I ever made," gripes David Bettis, a physician in Boise. "It's like getting a case of herpes," says Kerry Fowler, a research chemist in Bothell, Washington. "It won't kill you, but it doesn't make you feel good about the person who gave it to you." An e-mail support group for self-made Yalie plutocrats who now regret opting into the repayment scheme was started by Juan Leon, "who now sells Gulfstream jets in Latin America."
Chatterbox will admit that one reason he really likes the Yale program is that it redistributes income from rich Yalies who maximize the profit potential from receiving their prestigious diplomas to (relatively) poor Yalies, many of whom, one presumes, are using their fancy educations to give something back to society. (Of course, some of them are probably just bums.) But there are also non-pinko--indeed, conservative--reasons to admire the Yale program. (Milton Friedman was once, and may still be, an advocate of something like it.) To the degree Yale graduates are subsidizing each other, they are not being subsidized by the general public through low-interest student loans. Though the Journal piece doesn't say so, what killed the Yale program in 1979 was the availability of subsidized student loans to pretty much anyone who wanted one at a time when interest rates were sky-high. (In general, banks hate the Yale plan and its progeny; when the Clinton administration instituted a much milder version of it for the college student loan program, the banks lobbied successfully to water it down to virtual meaninglessness. Some of this story is related in Steven Waldman's book The Bill.) Chatterbox also likes how the program serves as a reality check on the market value of a Yale education. If it's all it's cracked up to be, the tuition program should pay for itself (in the aggregate, per cohort) fairly quickly.
That hasn't happened--according to the Journal, none of the cohorts, going back to the class of 1971, has yet paid off its debt--but the reason is that Yale hasn't been aggressive enough in going after deadbeats. Yale's failing, then, isn't that it's too confiscatory of its alumni's riches; it's that it isn't confiscatory enough. All the other "problems" cited in the piece--a turbocharged 1990s economy boosting the tithed payments higher than expected, spouses having to assume Yale grads' financial debt, the burden of having to submit income tax returns to Yale--simply show the program working as it ought to.

At my family's St. Patrick's Day party, we had the Wii set up and had two guitars going playing Guitar Hero. Quinn, my seven-year-old daughter, was rockin' and showing her uncle Kevin how to play. She was explaining how he had to hold the green fret button AND hit the strum bar right when the green thing crossed the bottom line and once he got it going, and he was able to play "Barracuda," he had a great time.
Meanwhile, other friends and relatives were clustered around, watching with fascination. They weren't gamers by any stretch, most in their 40s and 50s, but I could tell they really wanted to try. When Kevin was done, I took his guitar and held it out for someone on the couch. "Here, you try it," I told her. "Oh, no, that's OK, I don't know how, let someone else play," she said, embarrassed. "It's OK, it's fun, and it's easy once you get the hang of it." This broke her defense and she said "OK, what do I do?" taking the guitar from me. She got the hang of it quickly, loved playing three or four songs, and started trying to get her husband to try it.
It's kind of like someone standing outside of a swimming pool, embarrassed about jumping in. It's clear that people in the pool are having a great time, but for some reason he feels self-conscious. Maybe he's afraid he's not a good enough swimmer, because he can't do fancy dives off the high board. Whatever the reason, with a little encouragement, whether he jumps in the deep end, or just slowly walks down the stairs on the shallow end, he gets in the water and has a great time, and his friends are glad he's in there with them.
Sometimes I talk to people like that standing in Perl. It'll be someone who's been using Perl for years, and loves what Perl does for him, and would somehow like to contribute to Perl, to get into the pool where everyone's having a good time, but he's afraid.
Maybe he's got a module he developed that he doesn't think is "good enough" for CPAN (as if CPAN is 100% stellar). Maybe he fears that he's not a good enough coder to contribute patches. Perhaps he doesn't realize that not all contributions to open source need to be code. Or perhaps he just doesn't know where to start.
Are you that person? Have you wanted to contribute to Perl, or any other open source project, but just haven't? Please let me know your story in the comments.
My code sucks, it's just plan ugly. I think it's people like me they invented code obfuscation for. However, being a linguist I feel strangely addicted to Perl and have tried to use it as much as possible throughout the years. I always wanted to give something back, because there are so many things I really like about Perl, that are not existant or extremely un-elegantly designed in PHP (just an example, other languages may also have some weird behavior from a perl monkey's perspective).
Since I am only very far on the surface I decided I couldn't seriously consider contributing to CPAN (I do have nightmares of that maniac with the chainsaw that will eventually use my code in production and pay some russian mob member to find out my address due to some less-than-perfect code, to put it midly). Documentation might have been nice as well, but I never really got around to it. This just felt a little too organized, and – being a monkey with a very short attention span – out the question as well.
But then it occured. Perl is awesome but presumed dead. There is so little buzz about my coding language of choice that I decided to do some evangelizing about it. Knowing only bits about the actual power of Perl doesn't really allow me to compete in a head-to-head dog-fight between two languages, but that's absolutely not what's neccessary. There's more than one tool to use here and sometimes Perl will just be the ideal one. For me, it's almost always ideal.
For that reason I try to gibe Perl some more spotlight in the web. I write blog entries about Perl eating some WSDL for breakfast or just you basic hash-of-hashes explanation. I hope this will increase awareness of the vividness of Perl and its community and attract some new and maybe even convince some veteran users to stick with Perl – at least on some projects.
I wouldn't however, consider myself in the pool. It's more like I am sitting in my own bathtub and opening the window so others can peek inside and see what a great time I have. Andy, I think you're right and as weird as my comment may sound, there's probably a lot of bystanders near the pool that really enjoy the bathtub but are not in the pool, for whatever reason. I guess you nicely put the situation (did I mention I like this picture?). Thanks for this post.

Sorry @fakejeanquan I don't have time for FAKE ASS people who are TOO SCARED to have a REAL TWITTER of with REAL ISSUES. Seriously get a life. And get a new hobby or a job or something. There are FAR MORE PRODUCTIVE THINGS you could be doing with your life. #OAKLAND has WAY TOO many problems for ANYONE to be wasting their time on REAL TWEET SPAM like yours.
Hopefully you are actually a good honest person at heart and in the end wants to be best for Oakland. We actually have the chance at organizing the shit out of our city! There has NEVER been a mayor more connected to our neighborhoods in a sincere and meaningful way as Jean Quan.
Did you host over 150 house parties, including one right here in my East Oakland neighborhood? Did you walk hundreds of our city's streets, well into the night, nearly everyday during the last few months of the campaign? Have you been a social justice, multi-racial solidarity builder for the East Bay since the 1970s? Did you start the Asian American movement with the Third World Liberation Front at UC Berkeley? NO. I don't think so. All you seem to have accomplished in your life is to create a FAKE ASS TWITTER account and cause HELLA REAL TWITTER SPAM.
Do you ever care about the violence, poverty and lack of opportunity in East Oakland? SERIOUSLY @fakejeanquan you could be doing MUCH MORE with your. If you had a mirror reflected at your twitter account, and you actually read each one, are you happy with who you are to the world? And I REALLY hope you #getalife before your next tweet spam. Which, in my opinion is ALL of your tweets. Congrats on being a leach to society! And bumming of the REAL www.twitter.com/jeanquan 's success. Maybe someday you will grow some integrity, passion and develop a real purpose for life.
As for me www.twitter.com/neweastoakland I am far more concerned with developing my TURF DANCE technique. Congrats Youth Uprising on making it to ABC! #EASTOAKLAND is FAMOUS WORLD WIDE!!! RIP Rich D. RIP Oscar Grant. RIP all Victims of Violence in our City.
Follow www.fckyeahoak.tumblr.com
I really don't see why anyone is taking issue here? The WHOLE POINT of Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Youtube and the rest of the social media networks is that they link us together in ways we've never been linked before. A single tweet is a drop in the bucket, so the more tweets a politician has, the more chances there are someone will hear the message they want to hear.
Its not Jean's fault if you only use twitter once a month and have less than 10 followers. Sorry don't follow Jean then, if you don't want 90% of your wall to be twitter posts from her. Twitter is awesome! The more tweets the better! Just be sure to keep them relevant AND as an avid follower of www.twitter.com/jeanquan I LOVE every one :-D

Skip to comments.It Can't be Done??? (The Recall of Mary Landrieu)
Posted on 01/18/2010 9:41:52 AM PST by Errant
click here to read article
Maybe, but it is also very educational and lets Ms. Landrieu know that many are VERY unhappy with her.
Certainly giving preferences to states to in effect buy the senator's vote IS unconstitutional according to Article 1, Section 8:
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations;
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
So WHY has congress neglected its responsibility to enact legislation to prosecute and punish agents of al qaeda? It is the height of stupidity to expect to do so within a judicial system designed for American citizens.
Finally, practically every act, law or rule invented by the POTUS without the consent of congress is unconstitutional...
True, but if she doesn't know it already, she is deaf, blind and dumb. And I can assure you she is neither. It may be educational for the rest of the electorate in Louisiana, who normally don't pay attention to issues, and if so, then it may have some "educational" value for the state, if that cannot be accomplished cheaper and more properly.
Certainly giving preferences to states to in effect buy the senator's vote IS unconstitutional according to Article 1, Section 8:
Certainly, but "buying" and "selling" votes by Representatives and Senators is done every day in the halls of Congress. As a matter of fact, that's what entire "seniority" system in Washington (and State Houses and municipalities) is based on, and for the most part, the "states" are just fine with it when it benefits them. Seniority is even promoted during the elections as the reason to send long-time incumbents back to Washington - to have someone there "help" the state to federal pork. And it certainly affects people's decisions during elections.
Sad, but true.
Do you really expect the federal government to believe the voters can make our own decisions? Or even live with them?
I trust my state legislators far and beyond any trust I have for Feral government.
In my state Capital building, I can walk into any open door of any legislator and have interaction with staff, or in many occasions, the actual Rep. And they do still listen. Why? Because change always starts with the people first. Not the government. And local politicians are much more visible and entirely accountable to their state citizen.
But travel to DC is impractical and costly. And just how much access do we the people actually have to our Feral Rogues?
Very little.
Prior to the 17th, the state legislature had to VOTE for the Senate appointee. Nobody was appointed without a vote so you are incorrect.
Obviously this is something that has gone on for far too long. In the case of blatant disregard it needs to be STOPPED now with punitive action if possible and removal from office off all conspirators involved. It seems like many in Washington are too happy to disregard the constitution instead of fulfilling their sworn oath to uphold it. An example of such less honorable legislators is sorely wanting.
Did they have better state legislatures in those days? That system would be better only if the state legislatures were more honest, wiser, had better judgment and less self-interest than the voters who elected them. Which seems unlikely -- there's a reason for all those jokes about the stupidity and venality of state legislators!
"Did they have better state legislatures in those days?"
Maybe. Maybe not. But with the spontaneous electronic communications of modern society there is absolutely NO REASON that people can't be more involved in the process.

Oh boo hoo, LA had a chance to vote her out in 08. They failed.
It wasn't because some of us didn't try. Maybe 2014 will be the charm. Anyway, I will sign any petition releaving her of her duties - even if it doesn't work. I want her to know we won't forget and we are coming for her.

JEFFERSON CITY - The Missouri Department of Transportation is suspending most highway construction and maintenance work throughout the state this weekend to accommodate an increase in traffic due to the Memorial Day holiday.
Work will stop at noon on Friday, May 23 and resume Tuesday, May 27 after morning rush. Still, some lane and bridge closures will remain in place due to more permanent closures.
Even though the majority of highway work is stopping for the weekend, motorists can't let their guard down and need to drive smart to ensure safe travels. That means paying attention, buckling up, obeying the speed limit, not drinking and driving and planning ahead.
During the 2013 Memorial Day weekend, there were six people killed and 63 seriously injured in Missouri traffic crashes. Ten percent of the people killed or seriously injured involved a substance-impaired driver.
To be aware of MoDOT work zones as you plan your summer travels, look on MoDOT's interactive traveler information map at http://traveler.modot.org/map or call 1-888-ASK-MODOT (275-6636).

Lack of posting tends to indicate 'busy' and this has certainly been a busy period.
My main news is that I applied to two trainee dental nurse roles and got a phone call back from one of them. Thus commenced a telephone interview which I subsequently passed.
The woman I spoke to was very informative. She clued me into the availability of a text book that DN's study which I promptly ordered from Amazon. And she also told me about the vaccinations I would require; Hep B being one of them, makes complete sense.
Anyway, the phone interview went well and I was then assigned an essay. Kind of a new thing for me, being asked to write an essay for a job. I don't know if this is standard practise for potential DN's. If I wrote it to their satisfaction I would then be invited to a face-to-face interview and a visit to a surgery.
Lot of hoops to jump through.
Now, the possible offer a job - fantastic.
Taking a second look at the location however - not so good.
I think I was a tad hasty in my application. At first glance, I didn't think that the location was too bad. Not in a great area, I'll admit, but it would get my foot in the door. Then I did the maths - distance to travel every day there and back, petrol and parking. Time and money wise, I was not getting a good result.
Accepting the job, would also tie me down to a two year contract.
Truthfully, I had doubts about the commute. I've been down that road (literally) before and it proved quite stressful. A stressful DN is a careless DN - that would do me no favours.
I did take some time to seriously consider the options in front of me. And I've chosen to be optimistic. In the past I've always taken the first job opportunity I've been offered. I've never stopped and thought 'is it worth waiting?' Yes, the economy is crap, but I'm starting to think that I shouldn't compromise on this. I've picked a career path, I want to get the job that's right for me, and it should be in the right place. I overshot a reasonable commute by applying to this particular position, but if it's not right then it's not right. It's two years to complete my training - I want to stay put in one place if at all possible.
I went with my gut feeling and wrote back to withdraw my application. I'm disappointed I didn't get a reply to at least acknowledge it.
So I'm now taking a little time to read the textbook - I think that in itself will help with future applications, to say that I've been studying the required book in my own time. How does that not look good?

Had a very good experience with both the company and the brakes. They were shipped quickly, packed well and came complete with grease and shims so I didn't have to purchase anything else. They were very easy to install and took about an hour and half total for both front and back sets. I'm very happy with my new brakes.

SOURCE: "Truth or Consequences?", in Reviews in American History, Vol. 18, No. 4, December, 1990, pp. 519-24.
In the following excerpt, Cotkin offers a positive assessment of The American Evasion of Philosophy.
The great age of American philosophy, dominated by the figures of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Charles S. Peirce, William James, Josiah Royce, and John Dewey, consistently draws the attention of scholars from a variety of disciplines. These philosophers serve as a source of inspiration, a tradition to be appropriated, and a subject for sustained analysis. As debate about the nature of truth, the role of language, and the relationship between theory and practice rages in the humanities—occasionally drawing even historians into this thicket of controversy—the responses of an earlier generation of philosophers to these problems are increasingly interesting and important. Indeed, for those working in a postmodernist vein, American pragmatists immediately present themselves as formidable precursors. Those more...

Archives For Safety culture
In a slight segue, I was reading Bruce Schneier's blog on security and came across this post on the psychology behind fraud. Bruce points to this post on why, yes I know, 'good people do bad things'. The explanation that researchers such as Ann Tenbrunsel of Notre Dame offer is that in the same way that we are boundedly rational in other aspects of decision making so to are our ethical decisions.
In particular, the way in which decision problems were framed seems to have a great impact upon how we make decisions. Basically if a problem was framed without an ethical dimension then decision makers were much less likely to consider that aspect.
Additionally to framing effects, researchers found in studying collusion in fraud cases most people seem to act from an honest desire simply to help others, regardless of any attendant ethical issues.
What fascinates me is how closely such research parallels the work in system safer and human error. Clearly if management works within a frame based upon performance and efficiency, they are simply going to overlook the down side completely, and in a desire to be helpful why everyone else 'goes along for the ride'.
There is as I see it a concrete recommendation that come out of this research that we can apply to safety; that fundamentally safety management systems need to be designed to take account of of our weaknesses as boundedly rational actors.
From Les Hatton, here's how, in four easy steps:
- Insist on using R = F x C in your assessment. This will panic HR (People go into HR to avoid nasty things like multiplication.)
- Put "end of universe" as risk number 1 (Rationale: R = F x C. Since the end of the universe has an infinite consequence C, then no matter how small the frequency F, the Risk is also infinite)
- Ignore all other risks as insignificant
- Wait for call from HR…
A humorous note, amongst many, in an excellent presentation on the fell effect that bureaucracies can have upon the development of safety critical systems. I would add my own small corollary that when you see warning notes on microwaves and hot water services the risk assessment lunatics have taken over the asylum…
I've just finished up the working week with a day long Safety Conversations and Observations course conducted by Dr Robert Long of Human Dymensions. A good, actually very good, course with an excellent balance between the theory of risk psychology and the practicalities of successfully carrying out safety conversations. I'd recommend it to any organisation that's seeking to take their safety culture beyond systems and paperwork. Although he's not a great fan of engineers. 🙂
In a recent NRCOHSR white paper on the Deeepwater Horizon explosion Professor Andrew Hopkins of the Australian National University argued that the Transocean and BP management teams that were visiting the rig on the day of the accident failed to detect the unsafe well condition because of biases in their audit practices.
In an article published in the online magazine Spectrum Eliza Strickland has charted the first 24 hours at Fukushima. A sobering description of the difficulty of the task facing the operators in the wake of the tsunami.
Her article identified a number of specific lessons about nuclear plant design, so in this post I thought I'd look at whether more general lessons for high consequence system design could be inferred in turn from her list.
I attended the annual Rail Safety conference for 2011 earlier in the year and one of the speakers was Group capt Alan Clements, the Director Defence Aviation Safety and Air Force Safety.

FWIW, there is code in CVS tip that recognizes the connection between an index on a boolean expression and a WHERE clause testing that expression. It's not quite perfect --- using Tobias' example I see regression=# explain select * from mock where b is NULL; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Index Scan using b_is_null on mock (cost=0.00..51.67 rows=10 width=8) Index Cond: ((b IS NULL) = true) Filter: (b IS NULL) (3 rows) so there's a useless filter condition still being generated. But it gets the job done as far as using the index, anyway. > You want something like this: > CREATE INDEX b_is_null ON mock(b) WHERE b IS NULL; I think best practice for something like this is to make the partial index's columns be something different from what the partial condition tests. Done as above, every actual index entry will be a null, so the entry contents are just dead weight. Instead do, say, CREATE INDEX b_is_null ON mock(a) WHERE b IS NULL; where a is chosen as a column that you frequently also test in conjunction with "b IS NULL". That is, the above index can efficiently handle queries like ... WHERE a = 42 AND b IS NULL ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

How to Choose a Husband and Make Peace With Marriage (Hardcover)
Out of Stock
by Suzanne Venker
Also available in digital format here.
Book Description
America is single.
It's divorced, undercommitted and hopelessly out of touch with monogamy. Why? Because, since the day they were born, members of the modern generation have been taught to postpone marriage indefinitely or ignore it altogether, as though marriage had no bearing on their happiness, as though it were a nice idea or nice accompaniment to an otherwise satisfying life.
But if flying solo is so great, why are people Match.com-ing on their lunch breaks and eHarmony-ing on the subway ride home? Why are women standing in the grocery aisles hoping to bring home a husband rather than a head of lettuce?
Sure, being single is fun – for a while. But most people don't want to stay single forever. Men and women are irrevocably drawn to one another. Since the beginning of time, this attraction has been the driving force of our survival as a species and, until recent decades, has almost always resulted in lasting marriage. In "How to Choose a Husband," author Suzanne Venker tells the truth we're all trying to ignore: Americans don't know what it takes to get – and stay – married.
Too many people want marriage to be something it's not; and when it doesn't measure up, they become antsy and dissatisfied. Some have affairs, and some get divorced – all in search for something better, something more meaningful or something more exciting. But if you want a certain kind of marriage, says Venker, it doesn't just happen. You have to be willing to create it.
A one-time divorcee, Venker has been happily remarried for 15 years and has two children, ages 9 and 12. And she has a message for the women of America: Choosing the right husband is the single most important decision you'll ever make in your lifetime. But it's only step one.
After that, it's all in your attitude.

ABI Research recently released the key findings of its latest 'Mobile Handset Markets' forecast, which states that half of all mobile handset shipments will be smartphones by 2014, making them the biggest handset segment in the world. This percentage is expected to grow to 69 percent of all handset shipments by 2018 with 2.4 billion smartphones shipped.
LTE handsets, meanwhile, are expected to make up 35 percent of all handset shipments by this time, accounting for half of all smartphone shipments as manufacturers look to keep their handsets relevant to mobile operators.
In terms of handset manufacturers, Samsung is apparently on track to become the clear leader going forward, to the point that even Apple will be playing catch up. As senior ABI analyst Michael Morgan said in a statement: "Barring an unlikely collapse in Samsung's business, even Apple will be chasing Samsung's technology, software, and device leadership in 2013 through the foreseeable future."

While the Korean electronics giant is expected to continue growth, which has placed it in the 30 percent market share between 2010 and 2012 for smartphones, Apple's market share is expected to peak this year at 22 percent, which will remain flat through to 2018. That said, the coming years will still see some shakeups for Samsung as its future devices are expected to rely less on Android, which currently accounts for 90 percent of the company's smartphone shipments.
This means that the future smartphone OS landscape will largely depend upon which OS Samsung places more importance on, be it Bada, Tizen, Windows Phone or Android.
The mobile hardware market, then, will also be largely dictated by Samsung but, as a recent ABI Research report entitled 'Samsung Galaxy SIII E210s' states, the company is relying more on its own hardware, dropping Qualcomm's modem in favor of its own solution for its flagship device in 2012.


text: Phase II and Phase III Clinical Trials There is increased pressure for success in clinical studies due to timelines, costs, low predictability and regulatory requirements. At Nutrasource, we combine clinical expertise in the areas of nutrition, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, as appropriate, to manage trials efficiently and effectively to support product investigations in support of a successful product launch. Understanding your development plan and the claims you wish to make, both scientific and marketing, for your unique product allows Nutrasource to tailor your Phase II (and where applicable, Phase III) program appropriately to maximize the potential for your product to succeed in demonstrating efficacy. We look at each study objectively and provide you with the trial design, site location(s), and team that will most effectively work toward achieving your clinical goals. Phase II Studies Differing from the traditional pharmaceutical drug development model, nutraceutical sponsors may begin development with a Phase II study, bypassing Phase I studies as evidence may be publicly available that pertains to the finished product's safety through toxicological studies and/or published human studies on the ingredients contained in the finished product. Dose-ranging and dose-response studies are key studies in the development of pharmaceuticals and have a place in your nutraceutical clinical development program. Valid dose-response data allows for the determination of appropriate dosing and maximum recommended dose, while dose-response studies can elucidate appropriate timing of dose (morning versus evening) and frequency of dosing, maximizing the efficacy of your product. A professional product development plan will identify the need for a dose-ranging study or the ability to determine dose from existing data. Phase II studies are often positioned as proof of concept (pilot) studies with the primary purpose to explore if the product has clinical efficacy. Too often, emphasis is placed on these studies to be pivotal studies providing statistical significance in a small number of subjects without understanding the characteristics of the study population, optimal dose, placebo response and/or effect size of the product. Instead, we encourage our clients to think of phase II studies as an opportunity to manage risk. Depending on design, conclusions can still be made on a product's efficacy and the study(ies) that form the basis of claim substantiation files. Phase II studies provide Sponsors with the information to make informed decisions regarding dose, effect size (or how well a product works), population of study and appropriate endpoint(s) to provide the best chance for success, and statistical significance, in subsequent pivotal trials. Phase III Studies Phase III studies are larger and often multi-centre trials that confirm effects demonstrated in Phase II clinical trials. The need for Phase III trial designs is dependent on the findings of earlier stage trials as well as the necessity, dependent on the regulatory requirements, for the claims on the product. For example, in Canada, at least one Phase III study is required to support a disease prevention claim for supplements. Phase III studies often present their own challenges, especially with respect to speed of recruitment. Feasibility studies and phase II study data are key requirements to mitigate risk when undertaking phase III pivotal trials. Looking for more information on Phase II and III clinical trials? Contact a member of our team today or email us directly at firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also request a customized quote and we will contact you with details within two business days.

Early Modern England: Politics, Religion, and Society under the Tudors and Stuarts (HIST 251)
Professor Wrightson provides a broad sketch of the social order of early modern England, focusing on the hierarchical language of "estates" and "degrees" and the more communitarian ideal of the "commonwealth" by which society was organized. The differences between the social structure in rural and urban areas are addressed and the subordinate roles of women and the young are also outlined. Professor Wrightson discusses the differences between members of peerage, the gentry, and the commonalty and the social positions of servants, yeoman, husbandmen, and apprentices are explained. The mechanisms by which the social order was preserved, such as prescriptive literature and ecclesiastical injunctions, are also considered. Professor Wrightson concludes that, while in the theory the social order was rigidly hierarchical and rooted in relationships of authority and subordination, in practice there was a great more flexibility and ambiguity within every day interpersonal social relationships.

Cosmic Circuits is gaining traction
Keywords:startup? IP core? power management? K.C. Krishnadas?
In the 15 months since its founding, startup Cosmic Circuits Pvt. Ltd has gained traction, having developed IP cores for multiple fabs and taped out four test chips. The firm, based in Bangalore, India, has developed power management blocks including battery charger, low drop out (LDO) regulators, precision reference circuits, switching converters and charge pumps.
Cosmic developed power management circuits and data converters for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd and Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd as well as a silicon oscillator for Fujitsu.
Three of the four test chips taped out were 130nm chips belonging to Cosmic's Power-on-SoC family of power management circuits and general purpose family of data converters and reference generators. The fourth test chip was a silicon oscillator at 0.35μm.
A 90nm test chip with a 10bit, 1MSps data converter and LDO regulator designed for IBM common platform technology will be taped out next month, said Ganapathy Subramaniam, Cosmic's chief executive. Current plans call for another four test chips to be taped out by the end of the year, including two 90nm and one 65nm chips that include analog front end for communication devices and power management circuits.
Cosmic has licensed IP to five customers in the Japan, Taiwan and the U.S. and hopes to sign on 10 more customers by the end of the year. The company sees good prospects, having developed all the IP blocks to integrate power management components into SoCs at 130nm. These blocks include battery charger, back-up battery charger, white LED drivers, LDO regulators to supply sensitive analog and RF blocks, efficient switching converters and precision references.
"All our customers are in the revenue range of $300 million to $2 billion, and we expect to sign more customers of this size," Subramaniam said, adding that the company may raise venture funding early next year to fund further growth.

The Champions League meeting with FC Basel is a dead rubber from a Munich point of view as Bayern have already won Group E, but the Bavarians are still determined to beat the 'other' FCB. "It doesn't matter for the table, but there's still something at stake, i.e. a win for us. It would boost our confidence, and that's vital for [the league meeting with St Pauli on] Saturday," said Bastian Schweinsteiger prior to the European clash on Wednesday (Live in English from 8.30 pm on Web Radio, highlights from midnight on FCB.tv).
"We don't have to win, but we want to win," agreed Thomas Kraft, who will keep goal as a stand-in for rested first-choice keeper Jörg Butt, just as he did two weeks ago in Rome. "We lost away to Schalke, so this match is important to restore the good mood here," continued Kraft.
