VANCOUVER, Dec. 7, 2012 /CNW/ - Tigris Uranium Corp. (TSX.V: TU) ("Tigris"), and Wolfpack Gold Corp. ("Wolfpack") are pleased to announce that Tigris has determined to diversify its business focus, while maintaining its exposure and commitment to the long term viability of the uranium market. To this end, Tigris has made an investment in NexGen Energy Ltd. ("NexGen") and has entered into a non-binding letter of intent, dated effective November 30, 2012 (the "LOI"), with Wolfpack, whereby Tigris has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Wolfpack (the "Transaction").
The Transaction will constitute a Reverse Takeover (as defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV")) of Tigris by Wolfpack. Upon completion of the Transaction, it is expected that the combined entity will continue to be classified as a mining issuer on the TSXV.
Uranium Activities and Sector Outlook
Tigris remains committed to the positive long term opportunities within the uranium sector but is keenly aware of the short and potentially medium term issues facing the nuclear industry. Currently the uranium sector has been experiencing steadily declining prices, posing substantial short term challenges. Various sources suggest no significant supply-demand imbalances on the horizon, which would, if present, lead to higher prices. The singular bright spot for investors in the uranium sector of late has been confined to the relative select group of companies making significant discoveries of high grade uranium primarily in the Athabasca Basin of Canada. The prospects for lower grade in-situ projects has been dimmed by the continuing low prices for uranium as well as the limited access to capital caused by global economic uncertainties.
Tigris owns a package of quality assets highlighted by the Crownpoint and Hosta Butte uranium projects located in McKinley County, New Mexico which contain indicated mineral resources totalling 26.6 million pounds of U3O8 at an average grade of 0.105% e U3O8 and inferred mineral resources totalling 6.1 million pounds of U3O8 at an average grade of 0.110% e U3O8 (see Tigris' news releases dated May 29, 2012 and June 7, 2012) Although these assets have an annual holding cost of less than $5,000, they have been significantly impaired by the recent decision of Uranium Resources, Inc. (OTCBB: URRE) to defer construction of its neighbouring Churchrock project. This directly adversely affects Tigris as a significant amount of Tigris' uranium inventory is covered under licences held by Uranium Resources.
Consistent with Tigris' long term view on the potential for growth in the uranium market, and the industry's current focus on high grade deposits primarily in the Athabasca Basin, Tigris has agreed to acquire 3,750,000 units ("Units") of NexGen at a price of CDN$0.40 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of NexGen (a " Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Share at a price of $0.60 per Share for a period of two years from the date of issuance. NexGen has recently announced a reverse takeover transaction with Clermont Capital Inc. (TSXV: XYZ.P) (see Clermont's news release dated November 30, 2012).
NexGen is a uranium exploration company with a portfolio of assets strategically located in the Athabasca Basin, Canada and is focused on discovering the next world class uranium orebody. NexGen's portfolio includes the Radio project. The Radio project is interpreted to be on the same structural trend as Rio Tinto's Roughrider deposit along with the majority of the Canadian projects formerly held by Mega Uranium Ltd. (TSX: MGA), which were recently acquired by NexGen.
Business Combination with Wolfpack
Wolfpack was formed by the combination of assets in the United States from Seabridge Gold Corp. (TSX: SEA) and Golden Predator Corp. (TSX: GPD). Over the past few years, both of these advanced gold exploration companies have concentrated their efforts in Canada, while maintaining a select portfolio of gold projects in Nevada; one of the leading gold jurisdictions of the world. Most of these projects have seen little to no exploration since the price of gold was below $400/oz. The package of gold assets includes several projects that saw production from open pit heap leach operations during the late 1980s to mid-1990s. Several of these projects host historic resources, and the report titled "Castle Black Rock Project Castle Zone Resource Evaluation, Esmeralda County, Nevada" dated July 9, 2012 (amended September 27, 2012) estimates the total inferred resources for the Castle Zone at the property to be 14,683,000 tonnes of mineralized material with gold grading 0.45 g/t, at a cutoff grade of 0.25 g/t.
Name Change
On completion of the Transaction, Tigris plans to change its name to "Wolfpack Gold Corp." or such other name as may be approved by its board of directors.
By combining advanced uranium assets with a quality package of gold exploration projects, including a treasury of approximately $9.5 million in cash and investments, the combined entity will provide shareholders with value and liquidity through current and ongoing gold exploration as well as long term benefits derived from the significant uranium assets. The technical team leading this effort combines the strengths of both companies resulting in a highly qualified technical team with specialty expertise in Nevada gold systems as well as uranium deposits.
The Technical Team
The combined entity will be led by Nathan Tewalt BSc, CEO who led the team along with Tom Chadwick BSc, CPG, VP Exploration and Richard Rukavina BSc, Permitting and Project Management, responsible for the discovery of the Hollister and Rossi (Storm) deposits on the Carlin Trend in Nevada while in the employ of Great Basin Gold Ltd. and FMC Gold Corp. respectively. The technical team is augmented by Mark J. Abrams, MSc, CPG and VP Corporate Development, who has more than 30 years of experience primarily in Nevada with Placer Dome and Agnico Eagle. Douglas Underhill, PhD, CPG, MBA rounds out the technical team and is responsible for Tigris' uranium interests. Dr. Underhill has more than 40 years' experience in mineral exploration, specializing in uranium geology, ISR technology and supply-demand analysis. He has served as Uranium Resource and Production Specialist with the Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Waste Technology Division for the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA).
Although the combined entity will focus exclusively on advancing its Nevada gold assets, it will maintain its considerable uranium assets and remains confident in the long term value inherent therein.
"This business combination will bring together two successful acknowledged technical teams and a portfolio of quality assets. By combining the established but out-of-favor uranium assets with the advanced gold exploration assets in Nevada we are creating a company with a dynamic future," said Chairman William M. Sheriff. "Shareholders of the new company will benefit from near term success and progress in the gold sector while maintaining the longer term window on Tigris' significant uranium holdings."
About Wolfpack Gold Corp.
Wolfpack's mandate is to advance low cost heap leach and high grade underground gold projects towards production in the western United States. Wolfpack owns a significant portfolio of gold properties located in Nevada and surrounding states and has options to acquire certain properties, including the Castle Black Rock and Adelaide Properties located in Nevada. Wolfpack's portfolio has seen little to no activity since gold prices were below USD$400/oz. Both Adelaide and Castle Black Rock have previous operating histories as open pit heap leach operations during the late 1980s, when they were closed due to low gold prices.
Complete information regarding Wolfpack's properties may be found in Wolfpack's National Instrument 43-101 Technical Reports and other filings which are available under Wolfpack's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
Adelaide Property
Location: The Adelaide Property is a gold exploration project consisting of 210 unpatented lode mining claims located on the eastern flank of the Sonoma Ridge in Humboldt County, Nevada, approximately 15 miles southeast of Winnemucca, Nevada. By road, Adelaide can be accessed year-round by traveling 16 miles east of Winnemucca on Interstate 80 to exit 194 at Golconda and then south on the gravelled all season Pumpernickle Valley road for 13.5 miles. Adelaide lies on the northern portion of the Battle Mountain - Eureka gold trend. The property is 16 miles west of Newmont's Lone Tree gold deposit, 19 miles west of Goldcorp/Barrick's Marigold gold deposit, and 24 miles northwest of Newmont's Battle Mountain gold-copper deposit complex.
History: The Gold Run (or Adelaide) district was organized in 1866, and the production of lead, zinc and silver ores was first reported in 1869, but with the bulk of production between 1897 and 1910. An estimated 19,000 oz of gold and 345,000 oz of silver were produced from the Adelaide-Crown mine from the early 1900s through 1992. More recently, numerous operators have explored the Adelaide Property and surrounding area, including Phelps Dodge Corp., Duval Corp., Noranda Inc., Gold King Consolidated Inc., Cambior Exploration USA, Inc., Newmont, Canyon Resources Corporation and Golden Predator. Of those operators, Gold King Consolidated Inc. mined approximately 4,900 oz gold and 53,000 oz silver in 1990.
Canyon Resources leased the property from Newmont pursuant to the Adelaide and Tuscarora Mineral Lease and Sublease in late 2006, and carried out data collection and GIS compilation during 2007, generating a database with most assay values obtained from previous drilling. Golden Predator acquired an option to acquire Canyon's lease interest in the Adelaide Property in 2008 pursuant to the Adelaide and Tuscarora Option Agreement and assumed Canyon's obligations in February 2008. On June 28th, 2012 a transaction was completed whereby the Adelaide lease was one of the key interests contributed as an option agreement to Wolfpack as part of a three-way deal with Golden Predator and Seabridge.
Interest: Wolfpack holds an option to acquire Golden Predator Corp.'s leasehold interest in the Adelaide Property. To exercise the option, Wolfpack must issue 11,000,000 of its common shares to Golden Predator over a three year period. On exercise of the option, Wolfpack will grant to Golden Predator a 1% NPR on commercial production from the Adelaide Property. Golden Predator's leasehold interest in the Adelaide Property is subject to a 3% NSR and the lessor has certain back-in rights to the property. Certain of the claims comprised in the Adelaide property are subject to additional NSRs, ranging from 1.5% to 2%.
Resource: A total of 573 holes have been drilled by previous operators, including Golden Predator, for a total of 49,977 m (163,966 ft) of reverse circulation and core drilling. Although several resources have been estimated for open pit and underground gold-silver mineralization, and open pit gold-silver production records from the 1989-1991 time period are available, there is currently no National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the Adelaide Property. Wolfpack expects to advance Adelaide towards the completion of a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource in 2013.
Geologic Setting and Targets: The Adelaide Property is underlain by the Lower Cambrian to Lower Ordovician Preble and Ordovician Valmy Formations, which are variably deformed and metamorphosed. The two formations are generally separated by the Adelaide fault and associated structures. These rocks are locally intruded by dikes of intermediate to felsic composition. Two main lithologies within the mapped Preble include phyllite and carbonate, which generally strike northerly through the property. The units exhibit intense internal deformation including folding and faulting, while their age relationship is unknown.
Epithermal banded quartz-sulfide ±adularia±electrum veins comprise one of the primary gold-silver occurrences on the Adelaide Property. The veins occur along the northerly-trending Adelaide fault zone and are hosted by the Preble and Valmy Formations. The main veins trend north-northwest, dip approximately 70 to 85°W, and can both coalesce and diverge along strike. Three small open pits and older underground workings expose several main veins, splays, and stockwork zones; the main veins are typically 4 ft to 6 ft wide. The three main veins mined to date include the Crown, Recovery and Margarite.
Another significant target type on the property occurs as gold-bearing silica replacement bodies in carbonate host rocks likely belonging to the middle Preble Formation and are known to occur immediately west of and to the north of the phyllite hosted vein zones currently being explored at Crown, Recovery and Margarite. Recent additions to the drillhole database provide a more detailed picture of a significant bulk tonnage gold target north of the current pits area at Knob Hill that may represent an excellent target for drilling planned to begin in early March, 2013.
Exploration Plans: The Wolfpack technical team is currently preparing a phase one reverse circulation drill program for Adelaide with a planned start date of March, 2013. The timing and scope of this work will be influenced by the timing and completion of the Transaction. Detailed mapping is underway and is expected to significantly impact target selection over the next few months as this information is combined with the historic mapping, sampling and drill results. Vein targets in and around the historic open pits will continue to be a focus in the upcoming drill program as will the bedded carbonate replacement bulk tonnage targets to the west and north. In addition, engineering work is planned for the currently permitted exploration decline into the Margarite Pit area as a precursor to a second phase of work on the vein zones.
Pending the results from phase one exploration program, engineering and modeling work, a contemplated phase two exploration program, as recommended in Wolfpack's technical report on Adelaide, proposes much more extensive exploration drilling and the construction of the decline into the Margarite vein zones.
Castle Black Rock Property
Location: The Castle Black Rock Property is a gold exploration project consisting of 209 unpatented lode mining claims located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, on the southern flank of the Monte Cristo Mountain Range and is within the Walker Lane Gold Belt of western Nevada. Claims and identified gold concentrations that comprise the project are easily accessed via US Highway 95/6 about 25 miles west of Tonopah, Nevada near McLeans, Nevada. Highway 95/6 bisects the property and the historic Boss open pit and associated mine area roads can be seen immediately north of the highway, where they provide year-round access and drilling access.
History: The exploration history of the Castle Black Rock Property dates back to the 1940s when a local prospector discovered gold mineralized outcrop in an area referred to as the "Boss Mine" on the Castle Black Rock Property. Between 1977 and 1982, the Castle Black Rock Property was explored by Houston Oil and Minerals Company, Ebco Enterprises Inc., and Amax Exploration Inc. Between 1988 and 1990, Westley Exploration Inc. and Mintek Resources Ltd. conducted geophysical surveys and drilled over 250 holes peripheral to the Boss Mine. Through this process, the Berg Zone was discovered. Kennecott explored the Castle Black Rock Property from 1993 to 1995.
Kennecott conducted geophysical surveys, including aeromagnetics, drilled 65 holes, and eventually discovered both the Castle Zone and Black Rock Zones. In 1997, Great Basin Exploration & Mining Company, Inc. acquired the Castle Black Rock Property from Kennecott; then optioned it to J.D. Welsh & Associates. In 1998, Cordex Exploration Co. drilled approximately 20 holes in and peripheral to the Castle Zone. Also in 1998, Uranerz U.S.A. Inc. compiled previous exploration data, mapped and sampled outcrops, and drilled 21 holes.
Interest: Wolfpack holds an option to acquire Seabridge's leasehold interest in the Castle Black Rock Property. To exercise the option, Wolfpack must issue 11,000,000 of its common shares to Seabridge over a three year period. On exercise of the option, Wolfpack will grant to Seabridge a 1% NPR on commercial production from the Adelaide Property. The lessor of certain of the claims comprised in the Castle Black Rock Property is a company controlled by William Sheriff, a director and officer of Wolfpack and Tigris, which holds a 3-5% sliding scale NSR (with a 50% buy-back provision) on these claims. A third party holds NSRs ranging from 0.5% to 1.0% on certain other claims comprise the Castle Black Rock Property.
Resource: The Castle Black Rock Technical Report dated July 9, 2012 amended September 27, 2012 estimates the total inferred resources for the Castle Zone of the Castle Black Rock Property to be 14,683,000 tonnes of mineralized material with gold grading 0.45 g/t at a cutoff grade of 0.25 g/t.
The Castle Black Rock Property contains 283 documented drill holes completed by previous operators, with reference to additional earlier undocumented holes. Not all drill holes were used for estimation purposes, as survey data was not available for some holes and assay data was not verifiable for other holes. Only holes that had both survey and assay data that was verifiable were used for estimation purposes. The author of the Castle Black Rock Technical Report only validated the drilling conducted by Kennecott for use in resource estimation, of which 57 reverse circulation drill holes drilled in 1994 and 1995 were verifiable and usable for resource estimation. Of the 57 usable reverse circulation drill holes, 33 were located in the Castle Zone and were utilized for grade interpolation.
Additional infill and step-out drilling planned by Wolfpack in 2013 will be designed to confirm and extend areas of known gold mineralization in the Boss, Berg, Black Rock and Castle zones.
Geologic Setting and Targets: Quaternary gravel and alluvial fan deposits cover at least 60 percent of the Castle Black Rock Property emphasizing the importance of extracting as much information from the outcrop mapping and drilling data available within and around the claim block. The oldest unit on the property is the Ordovician Palmetto Formation, a black limey shale and chert. The Palmetto is overlain by the Castle Peak rhyolite, which in turn is overlain by the porphyritic andesite flows of the Miocene Blair Junction Andesite Unit. Intercalated in the andesite units are rhyolite tuff units that include both non-welded and welded textures. Rhyolite dikes and possibly laccolithic dome features intrude the section.
Hydrothermal alteration in the volcanic rock is focused on structures and is zoned vertically and laterally from these structures. Alteration mineralogy is quartz-adularia associated with fracture and breccia-matrix filling. Vertical zonation of the alteration sequence has created an intense argillic cap above the gold bearing structures, from three to 30 m thick. Lateral zonation grades away from quartz-adularia filled structures to pervasive sericite-clay outward to a propylitic assemblage in andesite. Hydrothermal alteration is most restrictive in the sedimentary rocks, but more dispersed in andesitic unites, while locally extensive in the rhyolite tuffs.
Recent mapping suggests intersecting northeast and northwesterly striking fault zones can produce bulk tonnage gold targets in the volcanic section, with potential for higher grade vein and structural zones near the base of the volcanics and in the underlying Palmetto sediments. Both targets types offer attractive exploration opportunities on the property.
Exploration Plans: As recommended in the Wolfpack National Instrument 43-101 technical report for Castle Black Rock, a first phase of drilling, permitting and modeling work is planned for early 2013 with timing dependent on the completion of the Transaction. Most of the drilling will be completed by reverse circulation, although select core drilling is tentatively planned in high grade areas of the Castle zone. The primary goal of this work is to provide enough confirmation drillhole data to convert previously drilled currently non- National Instrument 43-101 mineralized material to qualified resources and to expand areas of known mineralization. In addition, recently mapped structures and their projections will be tested under gravel cover to locate new target areas.
The second phase contemplated in the technical report involves more detailed drilling and pre-development engineering and permitting work and will be based on the results from phase one.
Other Wolfpack Properties
Lantern: At Lantern, Wolfpack controls 114 unpatented lode mining claims located approximately six miles southeast of Allied Nevada's Hycroft open pit gold-silver mine. The historic Rosebud underground gold mine sits midway on this same trend between Hycroft and Lantern and was a significant gold producer for Hecla Mining in the 1990s. Drilling by Santa Fe Mining in the early 1980s at Lantern produced a significant gold equivalent resource for that company and will provide an excellent starting point for a mapping, sampling and drilling program tentatively planned by Wolfpack's geologists for mid-2013. Several targets have been identified on the property in a variety of rock types and with the location of the property and ease of access, the greater Lantern land position is expected to receive additional attention in 2013.
Golden Ridge: Golden Ridge is located in the northeastern-most corner of California on the Oregon and Nevada borders, and remains one of the higher grade gold properties in the Wolfpack portfolio. The location of the property and high grade nature of the vein material currently being explored by Wolfpack suggests that a possible high grade underground mining scenario, with truck transport to a mill in Nevada, could be a viable production scenario should an adequate resource be put together. Wolfpack currently controls 129 unpatented lode mining claims and an additional 2,665 acres of fee land.
Tuscarora: High grade gold and gold-silver targets are also present in the historic underground and open pit mining district of Tuscarora, Nevada, where 500,000 oz of gold and 7,000,000 oz of silver were produced between the 1860s and 1995. The land position consists of 247 unpatented lode mining claims and is easily accessed via 52 miles of paved roads from Elko, Nevada. Wolfpack plans to follow up high grade core intercepts in an area with post mineral cover that was previously discovered by Newcrest Mining in the early 1990s, once permitting is completed in the area.

5G FundamentalsMobile operators have just commercialized LTE and few of the features that make LTE a true 4G technology have made it into live networks. So why is industry already discussing 5G?
5G is indeed on the horizon and it clearly plays an important role in worldwide research and pre-development. Constant user demands for higher data rates and faster connections require a lot more wireless network capacity, especially in dense areas. The industry is expecting demand for 100x higher data rate per user and 1000x more capacity and has defined these as targets for the 5th generation of mobile networks (5G). One example is sports events or concerts where huge numbers of spectators want to share their experience instantly by sharing pictures or videos. The event itself might also offer spectators additional services, such as background information about the music played or slow motion replays of sport sequences.
5G drivers
In addition to the neverending "provide more" requirements, i.e. higher peak data rate, more capacity, better cost efficiency, above all the new buzzword Internet of Things (IoT) provides new challenges to be addressed. It is anticipated that millions of devices will "talk" to each other, including machine to machine (M2M), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) or more general x-2-y use cases.
This will impose different requirements than those currently addressed by 4G systems, which were optimized to provide mobile broadband data access. But not only the number of devices is critical, high reliability, very long battery lifetimes (years instead of days) and very low response times (latency) call for another "G" in the future. Reduction of power consumption in cellular networks is another important requirement. This is particularly challenging since capacity and peak data rates need to be increased at the same time.
Ongoing research work is revealing a number of technology components that aim to achieve the ambitious goals, including:
- Millimeter-waves: Exploring higher frequency ranges would allow the use of higher bandwidths, which would lead to higher peak data rates and system capacities.
- New air interfaces: The OFDM-based LTE air interface will not be suitable for some use cases and therefore a number of new air interface candidates are under discussion.
- Massive MIMO/beamforming, active antennas: In particular at higher frequencies, the significantly increased propagation path loss has to be compensated by higher antenna gains. Additionally, adaptive beamforming algorithms – even on a per user device basis – are required and can be implemented using active antenna technology.
- Device-to-device (D2D) communications: Already an existing use case to satisfy public safety requirements using LTE. Allowing D2D communications would also allow low latency for specific scenarios.
- Network virtualization (cloud-based network): The aim is to run today's dedicated hardware as virtualized software functions on general-purpose hardware in the core network. This is extended to the radio network by separating base stations into radio units and baseband units (connected via e.g. fiber) and pooling baseband units to handle a high number of radio units.
- Splitting control and user plane and/or decoupling downlink and uplink: The focus is on heterogeneous network deployments, making it possible to control all user devices on a macro layer, whereas user data is independently provided via a small cell.
- Light MAC and optimized RRM strategies: Considering the high number of potentially very small cells, radio resource management needs to be optimized. Scheduling strategies would potentially require more lean protocol stacks, which could also be deployed in uncoordinated scenarios.
It is telling that the European 5G research program is called Horizon 2020. It gives an idea of the anticipated timeline for the deployment of this new technology. Some of the most important 5G research activities (without making the claim to be complete) include:
- Research projects funded by the European Union (EU)
- 5GNow research project as part of the 7th Framework Program (PF7), started in Sept 2012
- METIS research project as part of the 7th Framework Program (PF7), started in Nov 2012
- Horizon 2020 – 7-year EU research and innovation program (2014 – 2020). It is the 8th Framework Program (FP8)
- 5GPPP, the 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership project is a EUR 1.4 billion joint initiative between the European ICT industry and the European Commission
- 5G Innovation Centre: 5G research center in the UK, started in Nov 2013
- China: IMT-2020 and Future Forum (Feb 2013)
- Taiwan: Office of Science and Technology working with the National Science Council and Ministry of Economic Affairs on a blueprint for 5G development in 2014
- 5G Forum: Korean industry-academy-R&D cooperation system, established in May 2013
- Japan: ARIB established a new working group (2020 and beyond) in Sep 2013
- USA: Several university-led research projects, sponsored by key industry players, such as New York University's NYU WIRELESS research center in Brooklyn, NY that is spearheading industry efforts in terms of channel propagation, as well the University of Texas at Austin, Stanford University, and the University of California in San Diego
5G has started globally and comprises countless projects at the research and pre-R&D level. It is obvious from ongoing studies that higher (> 6 GHz) frequencies will play a role, allowing higher bandwidths and enabling higher data rates. But 5G is not only high frequency and more bandwidth. Integration of potentially disruptive technologies with deployed LTE/LTE-A (and/or WLAN) technologies will be the key, including offloading strategies. Satisfying D2D and IoT use cases will become essential, too.

By this logic Ken Holland is an absolute asshat of a GM and on track to be one of the shittiest hockey minds in recent history. I mean, his top forwards are all getting old (all but Zetterberg are older than the Sedins), he has a question mark between the pipes, they haven't gone beyond the 2nd round since 2009, the team has trended down in the regular season to the point where they are now a playoff bubble team in the eastern conference (were Detroit still in the West this year I would put them in 9th or 10th right now), and there is nobody of not waiting in the minors to step up.RoyalDude wrote:Sorry blobby lagers but this post of yours reeks of a Gillis Apologist.

I am really enjoying Katana by Cole Gibson. Though a disconnect from reality is needed to make this work, it is a fun blend of action, romance, and suspense. Perfect for fans of popcorn movies.
I saw one of my eyes-large, blue, and serene-reflected in the blade as it came toward my face. I wondered if everyone felt so at peace right before they died. I closed my eyes and waited for…I wasn't sure exactly. I hoped it wouldn't hurt.
I put a hold on Shatter Me by Tehereh Mafi at the library, and amazingly, a copy came in just a few days after. This is a short loan book, so I have to read it quickly. The pressure!

An announcement of Akira ISHIKAWA's withdrawal
I'm so sorry to mention this but Akira ISHIKAWA (guitar) made a decision to resign the guitarist of DJAMRA yesterday. We've played with him for seven and a half years, that I've felt very short. We're quite disappointed about this matter because we have had an assamption to play together forever, but finally we've decided to have respect for his intention of resigning Djamra.
He refreshed our memory - it was a fateful encounter that we could recruit him as a new guitarist in a website, and he played with us in a studio soon after meeting us and listening to our album "Transplantation". Amazingly everything around us has gone well. A very skilled and versatile guitarist Akira has played guitar pretty in harmony with us, not much with assertion. He's worked upon his "position" with Takehiro FUKUDA (keyboards) behind our brilliant horn section and a bit assertive rhythm section (lol).
And yup, his versatility has made him play upon various stages with various projects more actively, play an actor in a theatrical company named "Gekidan Me-I", and open his own bar called "Placebo" this July. He's been too pressed in his bar or under other projects to continue to play guitar in Djamra, another busy project. Sadly Akira's decided to resign because of his not being a burden for us.
I'm so sorry but he and we each will go on our own way. He came to our rehearsal on December 9th, for saying his last gratitude to us.
Please accept my apology that I'd annoyed you with various egocentric demands from me. But let me say you are, and will be, the most fantastic guitarist in Djamra! Let's push forward with each work, and please take care of yourself Akira, a vegetable hater. :P
Many thanks to Akira, best wishes!

What a pity, it is always sad to see someone leaving a band you like, but I am sure Djamra and Akira will continue with their succesful path, no matter they are separated now.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A woman sexually assaulted by a former Naval Academy football player was so drunk at a party that she blacked out, walking and talking but not remembering what was going on, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
The trial of Joshua Tate, of Nashville, Tenn., centers on whether the alleged victim was too drunk to consent to sex. Tate's closely watched court-martial comes as the military is under increasing scrutiny to curb sexual assaults within its ranks.
During opening statements, prosecutor Lt. Cmdr. Ryan Stormer said the woman was drinking "shot after shot after shot" and taking "swig and swig and swig" from a bottle of liquor at an off-campus house party where the alleged assault occurred in 2012. The woman, who has already testified during a preliminary hearing last fall, has said she doesn't remember being sexually assaulted after a night of heavy drinking but heard from others she had sex with multiple people at the party.
Stormer said when the woman later asked Tate whether they had had sex, he said yes and offered to "refresh" her memory.
"Everything to him was a big, laughing matter," Stormer said.
Tate's attorneys, meanwhile, argued the woman was able to make her own decisions, including those about sex. Cmdr. Art Record described her as "upright, walking around," having significant conversations, and even rebuffing the advances of one man.
"She was processing information. She was physically in control of her body," Record said.
Record said the woman later told a friend that the party was "crazy" and "what I did last night, I did it, and I wanted to do it."
Tate's trial is expected to last several days. He faces one count of aggravated sexual assault and charges of lying to investigators. The alleged victim is expected to testify in the trial, perhaps as early as Tuesday afternoon.
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service began investigating within days of the April 2012 "Toga and Yoga" party — during which men wore togas and women wore yoga pants — at an off-campus party house used by football players. But the alleged victim initially did not want to pursue charges.
In the midst of the investigation, President Barack Obama emphasized the importance of stamping out sexual assault during his speech to the academy's graduating class of 2013.
The case was closed without any charges, but reopened when the alleged victim began cooperating with Navy investigators. The Associated Press generally doesn't name alleged victims of sexual assault.
Prosecutors initially accused Tate and two other former football players of sexually assaulting the woman during the party in Annapolis, Md., where the Naval Academy is located. Charges against Eric Graham, of Eight Mile, Ala., were dropped after a military judge said statements Graham made during an investigation would not be admissible during a trial. Charges against Tra'ves Bush, of Johnston, S.C., were dropped when the head of the academy, Vice Admiral Michael H. Miller, found that there were not "reasonable grounds" that a crime had been committed.
The Senate defeated a bill by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., that would have stripped commanders of their authority to prosecute sexual assault cases, placing that power with military lawyers instead. But the Senate recently approved legislation to better protect victims within the ranks and ban the "good soldier defense" to make sure a defendant's fate is determined solely by evidence.
Tate, now in his final year at the academy, has chosen to have a judge decide his guilt or innocence.
The judge also heard testimony Tuesday from a military expert on blackouts as well as two female Naval Academy students who attended the party. Both women identified themselves as friends of the alleged victim and said she was drunk.
Christa Kamon testified that she helped her friend up after she fell dancing and remembered her slurring her words. The other woman, Candice Tisdale, said her friend had glassy eyes and needed to hold on to a railing when walking down steps.
Tisdale said her friend was "not herself" and that she wouldn't have allowed her to drive. But asked by the judge, Col. Daniel Daugherty, if she was concerned for her friend's safety, Tisdale said no.
As Tate's trial unfolded, a military general faced sentencing in North Carolina in another high-profile sexual assault case. Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair pleaded guilty to having improper relationships with three subordinates, but charges of sexual assault were dropped.

1. Re: Querying contents of delimited fileHoria Chiorean May 7, 2012 4:01 AM (in response to eliquious)
Assuming the sequencing was successful, the structure of the output should be similar to what's defined here: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/MODE28/Text+Sequencers
To query this content, one possibility is to build & execute a JCR_SQL2, like so:
Query query = session.getWorkspace().getQueryManager().createQuery("select * from [text:column] where [text:data] like 'string' ", Query.JCR_SQL2);
QueryResult result = query.execute();
RowIterator iter = result.getRows();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
//your code
The query can be anything you need, take a look at https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/MODE28/Querying+and+Searching+using+JCR for more information
2. Re: Querying contents of delimited fileeliquious May 9, 2012 1:18 AM (in response to Horia Chiorean)
Thanks for the help. At first I thought I just didn't know how to query, which I didn't. But also, as it turns out, I'm not doing the sequencing correct either. Because when I execute a query similar to what you posted I get something like this:
Exception in thread "main" javax.jcr.RepositoryException: Table 'text:column' does not exist
Table 'text:column' does not exist
at org.modeshape.jcr.query.qom.JcrAbstractQuery.checkForProblems(JcrAbstractQuery.java:133)
at org.modeshape.jcr.query.JcrQuery.execute(JcrQuery.java:104)
at TestJCR.doExample(TestJCR.java:79)
at TestJCR.main(TestJCR.java:27)
Which basically tells me I'm still not loading the file correctly. Here's the sequencer from my config and the code I'm using to load it:
<mode:sequencer jcr:name="Delimited Text Sequencer">
<mode:description>Sequences delimited files to extract values</mode:description>
<mode:pathExpression>//(*.(csv)[*])/jcr:content[@jcr:data] => /csv/$1</mode:pathExpression>
final JcrConfiguration jcrConfig = new JcrConfiguration(); // org.modeshape.jcr.JcrConfiguration
final JcrEngine engine = jcrConfig.loadFrom(configFile).build(); // org.modeshape.jcr.JcrEngine;
final JcrRepository repo = engine.getRepository(REPO_NAME); // org.modeshape.jcr.JcrRepository
final Session session = repo.login(WORKSPACE_NAME); // javax.jcr.Session
final Node rootNode = session.getRootNode();
final Node testFolder = rootNode.getNode("test_folder");
final Node fileNode = testFolder.addNode("people.csv", "nt:file");
final String jql = "SELECT * FROM [text:column]";
final QueryManager queryManager = session.getWorkspace().getQueryManager();
final Query query = queryManager.createQuery(jql, Query.JCR_SQL2);
final QueryResult queryResult = query.execute();
As I said in my first post, I'm just trying to modify the "beginner's guide" code in this forum to get comfortable using Modeshape. I'm just not sure how Modeshape distinguishes [nt:file] types from the delimited file types. I did look in the docs at the [text:column] and the [text:row] types, I'm just not sure where they go and how to use/specify them.
Any other pointers you (or anyone else) could provide would go a long way in helping me get more familiar with Modeshape.
3. Re: Querying contents of delimited fileHoria Chiorean May 9, 2012 6:07 AM (in response to eliquious)
The sequencing configuration looks right, but there is something missing as far as the file content goes - something along the lines of:
Node content = fileNode.addNode("jcr:content"); //creates the jcr:content child of the people.csv node
content.setProperty("jcr:data, session.getValueFactory().createBinary(...use an input stream towards the actual file); //this is the property the sequencer is configured to look at
Once you have those in place and call session.save(), there is another "small trick": since sequencing is done asynchronously, there may be a small (ms-wise) gap before the content to actually appears in the repository.
In ModeShape 3 we've extended the JCR event model so that clients can be notified when sequencing is completed, but in 2.x you have to do a Thread.sleep(ms) to make sure the content is written to the repository.
After that, the first thing you can do to make sure the sequencing was successful, is session.getNode(/csv/people.csv) != null
4. Re: Querying contents of delimited fileeliquious May 10, 2012 1:49 AM (in response to Horia Chiorean)
Thanks for the help so far. I think the sequencing is working now. Kinda.
But there are a couple questions I have.
1. I used the session.getNode('/csv/people.csv') != null. It works just fine and returns true. Then I try to query the file with this: "SELECT [text:column] FROM [nt:file] where [jcr:path] = '/csv/people.csv'". It returns this:
/csv/people.csv {jcr:createdBy=<anonymous>, jcr:primaryType=nt:file, jcr:created=2012-05-10T00:17:36.038-05:00, }
But I still can't get to the rows and columns in the file. The output above was created by using the NodeIterator and PropertyIterator. So now that the sequencer seems to be working, am I querying correctly? What else do I need to do?
2. This relates to memory usage. Apparently after the file is sequenced, there seems to be a jump in memory consumption. I'm not sure if the sequencing is still going on in the background or what, but it grows to a GB then runs out of memory. I could just increase the heap size, but was curious as to what was causing it. The CSV is only 9MB with 500k rows and 5 cols. Any ideas on why this is happening?
Again, thanks so much.
5. Re: Querying contents of delimited fileHoria Chiorean May 10, 2012 7:06 AM (in response to eliquious)
Regarding 1 - you need to query smth like: select [text:data] from [text:column] to make sure you actually get the content from the file
Regarding 2 - I don't know what to say out of the box (we haven't encountered this so far) - there shouldn't be any memory impact regarding the sequencing, so maybe something else is going on behind the scenes (indexing maybe). It would help if you could profile this problem to see what parts of the system are causing this
6. Re: Querying contents of delimited fileeliquious May 14, 2012 1:30 AM (in response to Horia Chiorean)
I'm still looking into the memory usage, but I'm attached what I've been able to gather so far. It's a snapshot before it crashed due to an OutOfMemoryError. I increased the heap to 2048m and it still crashed. I'm not sure how helpful the memory profile will be, but I posted it anyway.
As for querying, I still get the same error as before, Table 'text:column' does not exist, when using SELECT * FROM [text:column]. I'll try again tomorrow, if I still can't get it I might post my code. Then I'll probably start playing with v3 alpha4, maybe I'll have better luck with the new version.
Sorry for the headache,
mem_usage.txt.zip 1.3 KB
7. Re: Querying contents of delimited fileHoria Chiorean May 14, 2012 2:59 AM (in response to eliquious)
Thanks for investigating the memory usage. I had a quick look at the attached file and it's a bit worrying that SequencerOutputMap$PropertyValue takes up about 300MB of heap memory.
It would be great if you could post the code snapshot and also, if possible, the file being sequenced - this may help reproduce the memory problem locally. Also, please post the modeshape-config used in this case.
8. Re: Querying contents of delimited fileeliquious May 15, 2012 2:36 AM (in response to Horia Chiorean)
Sure, no problem. I've attached the code with the config file. The CSV is just a randomly generated file with 5 columns and 500k rows. Nothing special. I've also included the output of the program, which includes the query error.
output.txt.zip 657 bytes
TestJCR.java.zip 1.2 KB
people.csv.zip 2.3 MB
9. Re: Querying contents of delimited fileHoria Chiorean May 17, 2012 4:56 AM (in response to eliquious)
I've just taken a look at the attached files:
*) The memory increase it "normal" in the sense that it's a 9MB text file with 500k rows. To change the memory footprint we would actually have to redesign the sequecing ouput API, which I don't think is in the scope for 2.x (we're only doing patch releases for 2.x). However, in 3.x we should be a lot better in this area
**) Since you're using a file system connector, the only allowed types are nt:file, nt:folder and nt:resource (see https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/MODE28/File+System+Connector for the whole documentation). This means that even though the sequencing is happening behind the scenes, none of the nodes are actually being saved into the repository. If you've configured logging, you should have an error like: " org.modeshape.graph.connector.RepositorySourceException: Primary type "beginners_source" for path "nt:unstructured" in workspace "/" in beginners_workspace is not valid for the file system connector. Valid primary types are nt:file, nt:folder, nt:resource, and dna:resouce."
Hope this helps
10. Re: Querying contents of delimited fileeliquious May 17, 2012 10:31 AM (in response to Horia Chiorean)
I'll take that as good news. I was already planning on going with 3.x. I saw that error as well but wasn't sure on how to remidy it. I'll look into using the other connectors.
I'm much more knowledgable about modeshape now than I was before. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
11. Re: Querying contents of delimited fileeliquious Jun 3, 2012 8:50 PM (in response to Horia Chiorean)
Hey Horia,
I've started playing with v3.0.0.Alpha4 and have succeeded in sequencing the test file included with modeshape. However, when I query for the file contents, no results are returned. I can iterate through the nodes, rows and columns, but querying doesn't return the data from the file. As you might notice, I've taken most of the code below from the text sequencing test code.
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String REPO_NAME = "Test Repository";
String filename = "multiLineCommaDelimitedFile.csv";
String filePath = "delimited/" + filename;
RepositoryConfiguration config = RepositoryConfiguration.read("config/repo-config.json");
// Verify the configuration for the repository ...
Problems problems = config.validate();
if (problems.hasErrors()) {
System.err.println("Problems starting the engine.");
JcrEngine engine = new JcrEngine();
JcrRepository repository = engine.deploy(config);
Node rootNode = session.getRootNode();
Node parent = rootNode;
String[] paths = filePath.split("/");
for (int i = 0; i < paths.length - 2; i++) {
parent = parent.addNode(paths[i], JcrConstants.NT_FOLDER);
parent = parent.addNode(paths[paths.length - 1], JcrConstants.NT_FILE);
Node content = parent.addNode(JcrConstants.JCR_CONTENT, JcrConstants.NT_RESOURCE);
File file = new File(filePath);
Binary binary = (((javax.jcr.Session) session).getValueFactory().createBinary(new FileInputStream(file)));
content.setProperty(JcrConstants.JCR_DATA, binary);
Node n = getSequencedNode(rootNode, filePath, 5);
if(n == null)
throw new Exception("Sequencing took longer than 5 seconds.");
final String jql = "SELECT * from [text:column]";
Workspace ws = session.getWorkspace();
QueryManager queryManager = ws.getQueryManager(); // javax.jcr.QueryManager
Query query = queryManager.createQuery(jql, Query.JCR_SQL2);
QueryResult queryResult = query.execute();
System.out.println("Shutting down...");
Future<Boolean> future = engine.shutdownRepository(REPO_NAME);
public static Node getSequencedNode(Node parentNode, String path, int maxWaitTimeSeconds) throws Exception {
//TODO author=Horia Chiorean date=12/14/11 description=Change this hack once there is a proper way (events) of retrieving the sequenced node
long maxWaitTime = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toNanos(maxWaitTimeSeconds);
long start = System.nanoTime();
Node n = null;
while (System.nanoTime() - start <= maxWaitTime) {
try {
n = parentNode.getNode(path);
if (n != null) {
return n;
} catch (Exception e) {
return null;
I find it odd that I can iterate through the nodes, but nothing is found when querying. I've attached my configuration files. Do you have any ideas on what might be causing this behavior?

12. Re: Querying contents of delimited fileHoria Chiorean Jun 5, 2012 6:54 AM (in response to eliquious)
I've had a quick look at the example code: if you look at the sequencing configuration, the path expression is: "pathExpressions" : [ "default:/(*.csv)/jcr:content[@jcr:data] => /delimited" ], which means that only .csv files added directly under the root node will trigger the sequencing.
The multiLineCommaDelimitedFile.csv is added under the /delimited/multiLineCommaDelimitedFile.csv path in the repo so the sequencer will not be triggered for it.
If you have a look at https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/MODE/Sequencing you can find out more about how the input - output path expressions can be configured.
The line: Node n = getSequencedNode(rootNode, filePath, 5); will retrieve the original file, not the sequenced out, which is why the code doesn't fail.
The SQL2 query is correct (I've tested the query locally, in a test, using a part of the people.csv file you attached earlier) and returns the expected results.
One final note regarding the retrieval of the sequencing output: in 3.0.0.Alpha4 we've already added sequencing events which are the preferred way of "waiting" for a sequecing operation to finish (instead of suspending the main thread).

STAR SIGHTING OVER LANCOME: Beauty giant L'Oréal is in talks with Anne Hathaway about the possibility of the actress becoming a spokeswoman for the Lancôme brand, WWD has learned. If a deal is reached, she would join fellow luminaries Kate Winslet and Clive Owen, who are already fronting for the brand.
SWINGING GIORGIO: For the upcoming Swarovski Fashion Rocks for The Prince's Trust event on Thursday in London, Giorgio Armani will show a selection of his fall Privé looks as Alicia Keys performs her new hit single "No One" from her soon-to-be-released album "As I Am." Armani and Keys will walk down the red carpet together, the singer donning a bustier top and black satin gown with Swarovski embroidery. For her performance, Keys has chosen to dress down with a black organza halterneck vest with tails over skinny jeans. The designer also created an exclusive lineup for Samuel L. Jackson, who will cohost the event with Uma Thurman.
THROWING A CURVE: Leave it to Azzedine Alaïa to draw an eclectic and intriguing audience, even to a mini fashion show in his showroom — and long after Paris Fashion Week ended. Sofia Coppola, François Lesage, Marc Newson and designer Haider Ackermann were among those who gathered Tuesday afternoon at Alaïa's headquarters in the Marais. Also scrutinizing the designer's spring wares was Norbert Platt, chief executive officer of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA, Alaïa's new financial partners, and Chloé chairman Ralph Toledano. "We're part of the family now," Toledano demurred before settling in for the show. "I loved the white fitted dress with the ruffles at the back, as well as the shoes," said Coppola, whose 11-month-old daughter, Romy, had been playing with a lineup of heels before the show.
HALL PASS: Kevan Hall's front row was the most star-studded so far at Smashbox Studios for Los Angeles Fashion Week, with actors Eriq La Salle, Nia Long, Shari Belafonte, James Pickens Jr., Jessica Collins, Jennifer Beals, Jimmy Jean-Louis and Rebecca De Mornay showing their support, as well as Hall's older brother Vondie Curtis-Hall. "Wow, that is beautiful," gasped De Mornay as the desert print gowns floated down the runway. Despite the fact that she was dressed in head-to-toe black Diane von Furstenberg, she said, "I love all the colors."

OLD SCHOOL: "I feel like a disco babe," exclaimed Debbie Bancroft as she surveyed the decidedly older (and old money) crowd at the Frick Collection's annual Autumn Dinner. Indeed, there was nary a borrowed dress to be seen as guests like Bill and Donna Acquavella, Irene R. Aitken, Stephen Schwarzman, Catherine Bryan, Jamie Niven and George S. Livanos pulled out their own black-tie finery for cocktails and a seated supper in the museum's elegant galleries. The event this year honored John and Anne Marion, the latter of whom is chairman of Burnett Oil Co. Inc., and a trustee of, among others, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Though not affiliated with the Frick, it seemed Marion had plenty of friends among the New York crowd. "She has a house in Southampton," explained Mica Ertegün of her acquaintance with the honoree.
KEEPING IT ROLLING: To Michael Kors, one of the main ingredients of a successful mall retailer is energy — and his new 3,200-square-foot store in South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Calif., kicked off with plenty of it Monday night. A crowd of 300 — including Henry Segerstrom, Jerrod Blandino, Jeremy Johnson and Laura Baratta, chairman of the Sound of Music Guild that benefited from the opening party — giddily snapped photos with Kors, chatted with him about "Project Runway," the fourth season of which will start airing Nov. 15, and fawned over the designer's merchandise. "I have cotton mouth," said Kors, while catching his breath and grabbing a drink. The store — Kors' 17th in the U.S. and fourth in Southern California — is the first to carry the full array of the designer's collections, from his Jet Set sportswear to Michael Kors, Kors Michael Kors and Michael Michael Kors. "There is nowhere else in the country where you have glamorous teenagers and hip matrons," said Kors. He hinted that next up in the Kors' retail stable could be a San Diego location, saying it is "on our horizons."
WELL INTENTIONED: On Monday evening, the civic-minded likes of Donna Karan, Drena De Niro, Kate Spade and Natasha Richardson filed into Gustavino's in New York for a silent auction and supper hosted by Kageno, an organization benefiting the people of Kenya and Rawanda. Without question, the most coveted auction item of the evening was a dinner party for 10 at chez Karan. "I'll only bid on the dinner if Donna is cooking," joked Spade, who arrived with husband Jack and daughter Frances in tow. Unfortunately for Spade — and for those craving a Big Mac — Karan had no such plans. "My personal chef will prepare an absolute organic experience," the designer said.
GOOD SPORTS: "As a kid growing up, I was so skinny and geeky and flat-chested that track and field was where I got my confidence," Sheryl Crow told an audience of athletes Monday night at The Women's Sports Foundation's 28th Annual Salute to Women in Sports — adding it was her favorite event of the year. The group honored softball player Monica Abbott and golfer Lorena Ochoa as the 2007 Sportswomen of the Year (Team and Individual, respectively); Olympian figure skater Michelle Kwan as the Billie Jean King Contribution Award winner, and the Rutgers Women's Basketball Team as the Wilma Rudolph Courage Award recipients. Holly Hunter (who played the organization founder, Billie Jean King, in "Battle of the Sexes") and athletes like Laila Ali also attended the event, which was held at the Waldorf-Astoria in Manhattan and raised more than $1.3 million.

O Leary says :
Michael O'Leary
"Do I believe there is global warming? No, I believe it's all a load of bullshit. But it's amazing the way the whole fucking eco-warriors and the media have changed"
If science is nearly always wrong, it's rather bizarre Ryanair's planes stay in the air. Or maybe the company uses black magic instead of science to keep their fleet going ?
"The scientific community has nearly always been wrong in history anyway. In the Middle Ages, they were going to excommunicate Galileo because the entire scientific community said the Earth was flat... I mean, it is absolutely bizarre that the people who can't tell us what the fucking weather is next Tuesday can predict with absolute precision what the fucking global temperatures will be in 100 years' time. It's horseshit."
In his rant O'Leary takes some snippets from some well know sceptical memes, but doesn't understand how they fit together in the bigger picture. Or why it is a good idea to leave the science to scientists.
Below the interview, The Independent gives word to Dr Emily Shuckburgh of the British Antarctic Survey to rebut his silly arguments. You can check the quality of a newspaper and see if they refer to the story in The Independent with or without a rebuttal of Michael O'Leary's nonsense.

Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary says it's horseshit
My local Belgian newspaper yesterday referred to an article in The Independent in which Michael O'Leary, CEO of Ryanair, demonstrates he understands little about climate change : Global warming? It doesn't exist, says Ryanair boss O'Leary

SAP NEWSBYTE — In line with its ongoing commitment to improving the lives of underserved children in the communities in which it operates, SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) announced today a new partnership with Inter Campus, the corporate social responsibility program developed by F.C. Internazionale Milano. The initiative uses the international game of football as an educational tool to restore the right to play to needy children worldwide. As part of the partnership, SAP will provide a financial contribution to Inter Campus Brasil, a division of Inter Campus, which works to transform the lives of thousands of disadvantaged children throughout Brazil.
"As a global leader in information technology, SAP recognizes and embraces our commitment to the communities in which we work and we're extremely proud to support Inter Campus Brasil in this effort to improve the lives of underserved children," said Gustavo Amorim, marketing vice-president, SAP Latin America. "With the world's attention focused on Brazil this summer, we aim to work with Inter Campus to create a level playing field for these amazing kids."
As the first of many special initiatives, SAP and Inter Campus Brasil will host an event during the 2014 World Cup in one of the favelas in Rio de Janeiro in order to highlight the extraordinary work of the organization. Hosted by an Inter player, the event will include a coaching session for the children and the presentation of an Inter shirt to every child.
Since 1997, Inter Campus has implemented a flexible and long-term social and cooperation program in 29 countries. A dedicated task force of managers and coaches from Inter Campus coordinate the ongoing activities at the various centers around the world where the focus is not only on teaching the skills of "the beautiful game", but also on providing valuable educational and recreational projects for over 10,000 children from impoverished communities. The coaches work closely with two hundred locally-selected instructors and countless volunteers that work in the countries which are officially part of the Inter Campus Worldwide circuit.
"We are delighted to have SAP as a partner of Inter Campus Brasil to support the work we are doing to improve the conditions of underprivileged children across Brazil," said Nicoletta Flutti, Corporate Partnerships, Inter Campus. "SAP shares our vision that through the international language of football we can educate and enrich the lives of thousands of children."

Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency teams completed an unbeaten day at the Whitecaps FC College Showcase at Surrey's Newton Athletic Park on Saturday. The U-14 and U-18 teams both won, while the U-16 squad ended the triple header with a draw.
After an impressive victory against Calgary South West United on Friday, the U-14 Residency team got the day off to a winning start with a 2-1 win against Surrey United U-15 of the EA SPORTS BC Soccer Premier League. Thomas Gardner opened the scoring before the 10-minute mark, finding the back of the net after a corner kick. The 'Caps doubled their advantage just before halftime when Brian Im centered the ball to Francesco Saporito for an easy tap in and 2-0 lead. Surrey got back into the match with a goal ten minutes into the second half, but they would get no closer as the 'Caps took the 2-1 win.
"We generated quite a few chances in the second half – hitting the crossbar and the post – so we probably should have scored a few more," said Bart Choufour, Whitecaps FC U-14 Residency head coach. "But overall I was pleased with the effort from the boys today."
The U1-8 Residency squad continued their momentum by coming out on the winning end of a wild 3-2 match with De Anza Force U-17/18.
The 'Caps got on the board first on 24 minutes as Yassin Essa centred to Spencer DeBoice for a close-range finish and 1-0 lead, which they would take into the break. The match turned on 57 minutes, as De Anza got on the end of a loose ball in the box to poke in the tying goal before coming back with a quick counter to take a 2-1 lead two minutes later. That would not be the end of the scoring though. With a little less than 20 minutes remaining, Ben Fisk beat his defender down the left flank before sending in a cross that deflected off a defender and into the net to level the match 2-2. Then, on 82 minutes, Wesley Cain made a great run down the right touchline before finding Fisk coming in late at the back post. Fisk then beat the goalkeeper with a low strike to the near post for the decisive goal in a 3-2 victory.
"We started off playing well but we began to fade a bit at the end of the first half," said Richard Grootscholten, Whitecaps FC Residency technical director and head coach. "To go down a goal and then come back and still get a win, that's not an easy thing to do, so that was good to see."

Callum Irving; Jason van Blerk, Tim Hickson, Daniel Stanese, Adam Ploakiewicz; Wesley Cain (Sebastien Cabrera '82), Ben McKendry (Declan Rodriguez '80), Ben Fisk, Spencer DeBoice (Titouan Chopin '75), Yassin Essa (Alex Rowley '60); Carlos Marquez
The U-16 Residency squad came close to making it three wins on the day, but settled for a 2-2 draw against De Anza Force U-15/16.
The 'Caps scored first on 30 minutes as Matthew Chow was brought down in the box. Brody Huitema then slotted home the ensuing spot kick to give the home team a 1-0 lead. The second half saw that advantage double. Residency goalkeeper Nolan Wirth made an incredible one-handed save on a shot from no more than five yards out, allowing the 'Caps to come back down the field and get a goal off the foot of Chow for a 2-0 lead. However, the match was far from over. De Anza got back into the mix with a wicked strike on 67 minutes, and then tied things up after a controversial penalty kick with four minutes remaining to see the match finish 2-2.
"After a couple weeks off we didn't have our best match, but we played well at times," said Grootscholten. "Nolan made a fantastic save to allow us to score the second goal, but in the end to have a penalty called against you, that's a tough way to finish a match. We'll continue to work with the players on the mental side of the game."

A Celebration of Pink ThingSunday, December 2nd, 2012
Hello, fans.
This week is roughly around the time the tiny human Pink Thing came into our home for the first time. Loud, squalling and lap-hoggy, the small two-legger quickly became a staple element in the lives of me and Big D. Since her lump-like days, she has become a source of petting, food, and games and her lap is almost big enough to be acceptable. It's also big fun to race into her room fifteen minutes before she has to get up for school and howl frantically. Not because anything frantic is going on, but because she tends to sleep through regular meows.
Good times.
Anyway, today we're sharing a few shots of what used to be for your amusement…
At first Big D was quite a bit larger than Pink Thing. And very curious. I eyeballed the squaller from the sidelines and kept my distance. Considering how often icky stuff came out of her mouth, honestly, I think that was the wisest choice.
After Pink Thing mastered the use of her hands, it was still some time before she could share food or give GOOD pets. Not to mention open cans.
This is NOT a good pet. Well, the humans think Big D is a good pet, what with his endless patience and all.
This is also a "bad pet". You'll notice *I* do not appear in any of these photos. Unlike Big D, I have a brain and a highly developed sense of self-preservation.
Pink Thing, as stated, is a lot bigger than that now. Big D and I sit on HER instead of the above travesty of cat justice. To all you cats out there who have had to suffer the long wait for a pink thing to grow into a can-opening human, I salute you!
Meankitty & Big D
