A Jesuit is a universal man
Father General Arturo Sosa has reminded the members of the Society of Jesus that to be a Jesuit is to be a universal man. Speaking to the Jesuit Major Superiors of Europe gathered at Ludwigshafen near Mannheim in Germany, from 14th-19th October, for the annual General Assembly of the Jesuit Conference of Europe, Fr Sosa emphasised that the Jesuit journey involves spiritual life, intellectual depth, and walking with others, and always focused on Christ. He noted that the challenges facing the Society today include paying attention to the importance of the intellectual apostolate as a tool for reconciliation; the unity of life and mission as a call for renewal in a personal, communitarian and institutional conversion; and the integration of migrants as a special evolving challenge.
Our Education mission comes from the Christian faith
Father General Arturo Sosa says Jesuit schools are a magnificent platform for listening to and serving the youth. Father General said this on 20 October 2017 in Rio di Janeiro where he addressed the International Congress for Jesuit Education (JESEDU-Rio2017). Speaking to the more than 100 Jesuits and collaborators from around the world, Father General reminded them that "Education and schools in particular, are part of the Society's missionary tradition." JESEDU-Rio2017, Father General said, "is an expression of the thanks we give to God and our benefactors in this area, an affirmation of the importance of the educational apostolate and a push to seek the audacity of the impossible that can carry us even further." Fr Sosa recalled that his predecessors, Frs. Pedro Arrupe and Peter-Hans Kolvenbach had often stated that the purpose of Jesuit education was "to train men and women for others and with others." JESEDU-Rio2017 brought together people serving in traditional education institutions and those serving in new institutional models, born to offer quality education to the poor and excluded. These include Fe y Alegría, Cristo Rey, Nativity Schools, and educational services offered by the Jesuit Refugee Service. Father General reminded the participants that "Our mission comes from the Christian faith. It is a service of reconciliation and justice born of the life of Christ, and it must be completed in his way, according to the conditions of our world."
INDIA: Belgian Jesuit translator of the Bengali Bible dies
Jesuit Father Christian Mignon, a Belgian missionary who translated the Bible into the local language for people in the Indian state of West Bengal has died. He was 93. Father Mignon translated the Bengali Catholic Bible, popularly known as the "Mangalbarta (Good News) Bible." The Bible is commonly read by the Bengali Catholic people today both in West Bengal and neighboring Bangladesh which uses the same language. Father Mignon's translation of the Bible is also used in the local Catholic Church's liturgy. Father Christian Mignon, came to the Bengal mission at the age of 25. He was to make a unique contribution to religious life in Bengal, translating the Bible into Bengali over a 40-year period. The task, in which he was helped by Hindu poet and teacher, Sajal Banerjea, was completed in 2003. He had previously translated liturgical texts after the Second Vatican Council, which opened the way to the use of local languages in the Mass. Read more...

MEXICO: Mexican & Latin American Jesuit University Networks Release Statement in Support of Immigrants in U.S.
The Association of Universities Entrusted to the Society of Jesus in Latin America (AUSJAL) and the Jesuit University System (SUJ) in Mexico have released a statement in support of the immigrant population in the United States, and in particular undocumented students at the 28 Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States whose education may be threatened by the recent DACA decision. The statement explicitly rejects policies which "exclude" people and notes that the current political landscape requires institutions of higher education to promote a culture of "global citizenship." AUSJAL is comprised of thirty Jesuit universities, colleges, and academic institutes in fourteen different countries in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. SUJ is comprised of seven universities located across the country of Mexico, which are part of AUSJAL. Read more...
UNITED STATES: AJCU President urges Jesuit alumni to respond to situation of undocumented young people
The president of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, Father Michael Sheeran, S.J., has made a direct plea to Jesuit-educated members of the USA Congress to respond to the situation of undocumented young people. He spoke during a press conference on Capitol Hill in support of the Dream Act on October 25. The Dream Act would provide a pathway to U.S. citizenship for over 800,000 undocumented college students and recent graduates currently part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. These include many young people at the twenty-eight Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States. Ten percent of the members of U.S. Congress were educated at Jesuit colleges and universities, and even more at Jesuit high schools. Read more...

The feeling is like waking up at two in the morning with cold sweats and realizing something is amiss — maybe it was stupid, like leaving the back porch light on, or not setting the alarm for tomorrow.
But it keeps weighing down on his thoughts — gnawing on the bottom of his stomach, gnawing at the walls of his throat — and, finally, when he realizes it's not stupid at all… the feeling only worsens.
"The poem is like a metaphor…" Dick insisted, smacking Wally's drooled-on pencil out of his mouth soundly—" -The hell, man!- "—and pointed to the page of text with a challenging edge to blue eyes, "LOOK or I'm not helping you anymore… 'anyone lived in a pretty how town (up so floating many bells down)¹'…it's talking about people growing up… and 'noone' loved him…"
There are graves for people Dick has no prior knowledge about.
But he feels he should know, staring down at the marble headstones when early morning sunlight etching into the engraved words: "Donna Troy" "Rachel Roth" "Bart Allen" among others.
"Wally West" is nowhere to be found.
The curdled, slick taste in the back of Dick's tongue and mouth, and the migraine that crackles behind his eyes prompts him to return to his motorcycle… to return to the shadows of Bludhaven.
"No one loved him? Like everyone hated him?" Wally blows some air through his lips, tilting back in his desk chair and wobbling his head to balance a newly sharpened pencil on the tip of his nose. The impact of air somewhat careens the end of the pencil. The sixteen-year-old gives up when it falls to bounce against his knee and onto the floor. "I feel sorry for the guy."
Dick sighs, heaving up Wally's literature textbook and turning slightly away to settle his lower back on the wood stile to Wally's chair. "Actually, 'noone' is his lover. And the poem goes on to explain how much she loves him and they die together. It's a play on words, genius." He twists around, thumping the now shut book on top of Wally's head rudely.
Dick waits until Barry begins to decelerate on the asphalt street, his fuzzing edges clearing into existence — and the streaks of red and golden lightning vanishes.
It's a private area. Dick makes sure that civilian identities are safe to reveal. He peels back the Starlite mask, his Nightwing identity flopping limply between his hands, and stares up expectantly.
To level the playing field, the man removes the cowl to reveal — a shade of emerald; a splash of freckles on pale skin — a pair of crystal blue eyes and sun-gleamed hair.
"Bruce has told me about you, Dick."
"Me too," Dick says out loud, and then adds with a tight, awkward smile, "About you, I mean…"
"Was there something you wanted?" The older man asks with a little less patience, threading red gloved fingers through his cowl-plastered hair.
Dick's stomach clenches. "Does the name 'Wally West' mean anything to you?"
Barry screw up his mouth in consideration. Please.
"I named my pet turtle from grade school 'Wally' but I'm sure that's not what you meant." He says candidly, dully, "…Never heard of him. Would I?"
"Iris West? His aunt?" Dick understands his voice is betraying him, hinting his urgency, his dismay, but someone has to remember… he can't…
"Do you know her?"
When Barry's exposed and bewildered eyes narrow in suspicion at him, Dick's heart thuds away more desperately in his ribcage.
Wally rubs his head, frowning up at him with a semi-accusing look. "How do you even know this stuff?" he asks.
"I liked the poem as a kid. On top of school, Alfie tutored me in books by Andrew Marvell, Emily Bronte, Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, people like that…" An uncomfortable pause. Dick grinned, touching the nape of his neck exposed by the collar of his jersey and scratching there. "Since I'm not really good at numbers… it's a little easier when I'm working with the meaning of words…"
"Sure, whatever, Boy Wonderful," Wally laughs, careless and young as he is, and excitable as he tugs the other teenager into his lap with a low, hungry noise—roaming one of his hands to push up under Dick's jersey. Warm skin eagerly palms a scarred abdomen. "You're good at everything…"
Their breathing shudders quietly in different rhythms when they come down from euphoria.
Kory reaches out from his left side on the mattress, a gorgeously naked and unearthly being, and sweeps his dark, sweat-weighed bangs from his eyes.
"You do not see me when we are like this… do you?"
Her voice keeps a gentle timbre — her face reveals nothing. And that's what frightens Dick the most than her comprehending the truth — the lack of emotion.
Amber-colored fingertips press to his jaw as Dick murmurs a half-assed apology with a cringing mouth and dry eyes — unlike hers.
When they split up, five months from the present, she will never again seek comfort or love from a human man again.
The kiss is a simple one, at least, to start—neither of them were ever simple creatures to begin with—and Wally relocks their lips, sucking in a deep breath and stealing a little from Dick, and from his open, panting mouth. He grabs Dick's lower lip between his, wetly sucking with a thoroughly satisfied hum as Dick parts his legs to either side of Wally's chair, rocking against Wally's lap.
Wally smirks, going for his neck, "I'll be your 'noone' if you'll be my 'anyone'…" Wally's fingers trail up the corded muscles of Dick's thighs in obvious suggestion.
"You know your hookup lines barely work on me… let alone would they work on anyone els—Aaah!-" Dick moans above him suddenly, arching his head back when Wally's smooth, grazing lips pull back into a good-natured snarl and his teeth sink—taunting; sharply; -so- good—into Dick's skin. Wally's hands grip him closer until the swelling in Dick's jeans flattens to Wally's stomach.
"Shut up…"
The feeling is like understanding that everyone else on the planet walks around with a fat ribbon tied stiffly around their eyes… and they won't even recognize it.
Dick kicks up the autumn leaves in England, thickly coating the long terraced walk from the beeches and sweet chestnuts and cedars, and wonders momentarily if returning to the penthouse is worth getting those stares from Bruce and Alfred and Damian much longer. Like something is wrong with him. Like he's gone unhinged. He's not. It's just… they didn't remember him… his best friend.
He mumbles something offhandedly to someone in a plaid jacket when their shoulders collide on the walk — flaming red hair; a goofball expression — and Dick instinctively snatches the man's wrist.
Everything had lightened. And Dick had missed it somehow.
Dick's lips barely part.
Wally gives him an unconvinced snort, windswept and not rosy-cheeked like him, and not yanking out of Dick's now shaking hand. "Who would even think of trying something like that with me?"
Dick bites the inside of his cheek (—don't tell him it crossed your mind, his subconscious urges him, don't tell him that). "Then… someone tapped open an alternative dimension…had to-"
"Guess again," Wally sounds so collected, so serene.
Dick's fingers grasp harder on Wally's wrist, as if needing that physical sensation, as if there is a creeping fear of letting go meaning much more than that.
"But you didn't exist," he insists, and Dick's voice is breaking, "You can't—aren't—it's not possible—"
"Then how was it possible that you were the only one who remembered me?" Wally points out, still sounding so so calm about everything, and slides a hand over Dick's shoulders. "You know me, I love using logic to explain everything but…" Wally's eyes gleam, like Dick's eyes are gleaming, and Wally wipes his face with a plaid sleeve, grinning big. "Honestly, I'm just glad to be here." He makes a comically surprised expression when Dick's arms throw themselves around him, and the rest of Dick joins to cling to Wally's midsection. The force of the hug sends the pair of men toppling and groaning onto the cushion of brown-and-red lawn, and then laughing relieved into the chilly afternoon until their bellies ache with mild pains.
Dick's comm.-link embedded in his ear signals him. "Will we be requiring another seat for Master West for this evening's dinner, Master Dick?"

The work to remove loose boulders from a steep embankment along Interstate 84 is done — and both eastbound lanes are now open to traffic.
Last September, the right lane near milepost 61 was closed off to accommodate the excavation of large boulders. That section of freeway just west of Hood River had been the scene of a large landslide in January of 2004.
After mud and rocks cascaded down the unstable hillside and blocked both lanes during a winter storm, the Oregon Department of Transportation determined that large-scale rock removal was necessary.
M.L. Houck Construction of Salem was hired to undertake the project. ODOT budgeted the work at $1.5 million but the final bill is expected to be much less, according to Dave Thompson, spokesperson.
Work crews first knocked loose boulders off the cliff then blasted away other potentially dangerous material. During the excavation, six horizontal drains were installed to extract water from the rock face.
"Geologists honestly don't know if the water caused the instability along that embankment but they do believe it certainly could have been a contributing factor," he said.

Our parsha informs us that the priests' first task of the day was to remove the ashes from the offering sacrificed the previous day. (Leviticus 6:3) Is there any significance to this being the priests' first order of business with which to start the day?
Samson Raphael Hirsch suggests that this mandate serves as a constant reminder that service of the new day is connected to the service of the previous day. After all, it was the ashes from the remains of yesterday's sacrifice that had to be removed. In one word: even as we move forward in time and deal with new situations and conditions it is crucial to remember that all that is being done is anchored in a past steeped with religious significance and commitment.
Another theme comes to mind. Just as a small portion of every food grown in Israel must be given to the priest (terumah), so is the priest responsible to remove the last remains of the sacrificial service (terumat ha-deshen). Thus, the entire eating and sacrificial experience is sanctified through a beginning or ending ritual. Terumah elevates the food as we give its first portion to the priest; terumat ha-deshen elevates the sacrifice as the kohen maintains contact even with the remains of the sacrificial parts. Not coincidentally, the portion given to the priest and the ashes removed by the priest are given similar names — terumah and terumat ha-deshen — as the word terumah comes from the word ruum, to lift.
One last thought. The priest begins the day by removing the ashes to illustrate the importance of his remaining involved with the mundane. Too often, those who rise to important lofty positions, separate themselves from the people and withdraw from the everyday menial tasks. The Torah through the laws of terumat ha-deshen insists it shouldn't be this way.

The next LEGO game will feature Harry Potter, at least that's what an inside source tells CVG.
While the previous Harry Potter games were published by Electronic Arts, Warner Bros. currently owns the rights to the Harry Potter franchise; its subsidiary company, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, is no stranger to the Traveller's Tales-developed LEGO game series as it recently published the developer's LEGO Batman game.
If rumors hold true, LEGO Harry Potter will be the fifth original installment in the LEGO game series, following LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, and LEGO Batman: The Videogame.
IGN has contacted representatives for the official word on the rumor and will update you if confirmation comes in.

With respect to fellow servants of God who have ministered previous to me, I try to find the best in them rather than criticizing those areas in which I might disagree.
With respect to Billy Graham, countless positive things can be said about him. But there are three little-known quotes of his (that for me at least) are worth their weight in gold. Here they are:
Billy Graham Quote 1
Looking back on his long history of speaking and traveling, Billy Graham made this comment:
I wouldn't have taken so many speaking engagements, including some of the things I did over the years that I probably didn't really need to do—weddings and funerals and building dedications, things like that . . . I also would have steered clear of politics. I'm grateful for the opportunities God gave me to minister to people in high places; people in power have spiritual and personal needs like everyone else, and often they have no one to talk to. But looking back I know I sometimes crossed the line, and I wouldn't do that now.
Billy Graham Quote 2
This is Billy Graham's prediction about the future Christian landscape. He made it in 1965, and it's come to pass in our day:
Multitudes of Christians within the church are moving toward the point where they may reject the institution that we call the church. They are beginning to turn to more simplified forms of worship. They are hungry for a personal and vital experience with Jesus Christ. They want a heartwarming personal faith. Unless the church quickly recovers its authoritative Biblical message, we may witness the spectacle of millions of Christians going outside the institutional church to find spiritual food.
Billy Graham Quote 3Here Graham answers what he would do if he was a local minister rather than a traveling evangelist. I think the answer is brilliant and comports with Jesus and Paul's way of training workers:
I think one of the first things I would do would be to get a small group of eight or ten or twelve men around me that would meet a few hours a week and pay the price. It would cost them something in time and effort. I would share with them everything I have, over a period of years. Then I would actually have twelve ministers among the laymen who in turn could take eight or ten or twelve more and teach them. I know one or two churches that are doing that, and it is revolutionizing the church. Christ, I think, set the pattern. He spent most of his time with twelve men. He didn't spend it with a great crowd. In fact, every time he had a great crowd it seems to me that there weren't too many results. The great results, it seems to me, came in his personal interview and in the time he spent with the twelve.

PARIS, July 31 — Paris is proud of its spirit of exhibitionism, so the front-page newspaper headline last weekend that the city's man-made beach was enforcing a ban on thongs and bare breasts came as a bit of a shock.
Not only that, the article in the tabloid Le Parisien reported, but the police might go so far as to hand out a $48 fine for anyone who refused to cover up.
"Heat wave or not, appropriate dress is required," the article proclaimed. Even if the thermometer hits 98 degrees in the shade, it added, "young women in search of cool relief are requested to stay decent and not expose their bodily forms to the eyes of passers-by."
This being France, there are rules for just about every sort of behavior. And this being France, even when there are rules, there may also be tolerance when they are broken, particularly when it comes to beach attire.
On paper, there has been all along a four-chapter code of conduct governing Paris-Plages, as the sand-in-the-city installation is known. Among the rules are bans on political, commercial, religious or union demonstrations; unauthorized freelance entertainment (fire-eaters and jugglers, for example); activities that are "dangerous or contrary to public order," like gambling; and "indecent dress (nudity, thongs, monokinis, etc.)."Continue reading the main story
A monokini is a one-piece swimsuit that covers only the bottom.
"We have a very soft system of security here," said Yvan Hinnemann, a manager of Paris-Plages. "It's a matter of prevention. This is a space of freedom, but if people want to see breasts, they should go to the Lido, or the Moulin Rouge."
The beach is patrolled by a combination of City Hall security police officers carrying tear gas, armed members of the National Police and a private security force of men in black polo shirts, shorts and boots who resemble nightclub bouncers.
The biggest security problem, said one private security agent, is "perverts and voyeurs," who are turned over to the National Police. In most cases, indecent exposure can be resolved with a warning, and no one has been fined for scanty attire.
When one woman refused to cover her breasts recently, the agent said, he showed her a copy of the code of conduct. She put on her bikini top.
The faux resort along the Seine has been one of City Hall's biggest success stories. Created in 2002 as an egalitarian reward to dwellers of the landlocked capital with no country escape, it attracted 3.8 million visitors last summer. It has spawned copies in other French cities like Toulouse and Lille and in other European capitals like Brussels and Rome.
This year, as in other years, the city trucked in 2,000 tons of sand and dozens of palm trees and transformed a two-mile stretch of the Seine into a beach. For the first time this year, the beach has expanded to the left bank of the river.
Visitors line up for free shiatsu massages, dance lessons, games of boules and volleyball, a trampoline and a climbing wall. There is free access to Ikea chaises longues, outdoor showers, hammocks and parasols.
As the theme of the beach this year is Tahiti, there are ersatz rain forests and Polynesian huts. Maori dancers, musicians and storytellers entertain the crowd. Corporate sponsors pick up 60 percent of the $2.7 million annual bill.
Among some sunbathers, the flouting of the dress code mingles with relief that it might not be enforced wholeheartedly.
"We have so many problems in our country that deciding whether you take off your top or wear a thong is so trivial," said Monique Ferrero, a 42-year-old government employee whose bikini bottom was rolled to show off her buttocks. "What's more important is that people who have to work all summer have a place to sunbathe and feel like they're on vacation. If it's forbidden to be bare, I don't care."
There seem to be as many men as women with bare buttocks. But the consensus seemed to be that only women were at risk.
"To stop women from wearing thongs, it's just so outrageous," said Rafael Santos, a tanned and well-oiled Brazilian property manager whose tiny Speedo revealed part of his buttocks.
But some sunbathers want limits. "We are still in the city, and we can be seen by people walking in the streets, especially tourists," said Monique Lefranc, a 60-year-old grandmother dressed in a blouse and slacks. "What kind of impression will they have of us? Last week, I saw people sunbathing naked in a lake at the Bois de Vincennes. I found it very shocking."
Certainly, City Hall has dealt with bigger Paris-Plages-related problems this summer.
A small number of homeless people have pitched tents on the banks of the Seine close to the beach. City Hall has resisted the temptation to evict the squatters, whose tents were provided by their protectors, the group Doctors of the World.
The elegant Simone de Beauvoir footbridge in eastern Paris was opened as an extension of Paris-Plages this month — with a tremor. It is staying open to pedestrians and cyclists, but it will need extra supports.
The Josephine Baker floating swimming pool moored on the left bank of the Seine had to be closed just three days after its inauguration this month. The air-conditioning in the gym failed; tiles in the pool began to come loose. It was hastily repaired and has since reopened.
All the fuss about nakedness seems surreal in a country where bare-breasted women are routinely featured on the covers of mainstream magazines and on enormous billboards at newspaper kiosks. A special report on "fesses" (buttocks) graced the cover of the French Elle magazine in June.
France is also celebrating with pride the invention of the bikini by a Frenchman 60 years ago this month.
It was the summer of 1946, when Louis Réard, an automotive-engineer-turned-fashion-designer, introduced "le bikini" at a Paris swimming pool. He named it after an American atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean a few days before.
Mr. Réard could not find a model willing to wear the scandalous garment. He had to use a striptease dancer.
Splashy photo displays in magazines show the bikini icons of history: Brigitte Bardot in the film "The Girl in the Bikini"; Ursula Andress in a belted white model in the James Bond film "Dr. No"; Marilyn Monroe in a white-ruffled, polka-dotted version. A social history of the bikini has been published.
Still, the garment was banned on French beaches until well into the 1950's.Continue reading the main story

Short answer: Yes!
During installation, or by logging in as an administrator later, you can configure automatic retrieval, download and display of album covers within your music collection.
What it is:
AmpJuke can download, store and display covers for albums within your music collection.
This happens automatically, if you enable the feature.
How it works:
Each time an album is displayed, AmpJuke looks in the local 'covers' folder to see if there's a cover available for the album.
If no album cover exists in 'covers', and if "Download & display album covers" is checked (see below), an attempt to find a cover is made against last.fm's API.
If a cover is found using the webservice from last.fm, the album cover is downloaded, stored (in 'covers') and displayed.
If no cover is found, the blank "AmpJuke" cover will be used instead.
Please note that users who are allowed to upload, can upload a cover for any album in the music collection "by hand".
More about upload/download here and here.

The United States is home to what may be the world's premier gambling mecca, Las Vegas, and Native American casinos dot the landscape in any number of states. Even though these locations are providing brick-and-mortar betting services to millions of Americans, a nationwide online gambling market does not exist, with laws on both state and federal levels providing road blocks to the establishment of one.
For years the Interstate Wire Act of 1961 - also known as the Federal Wire Act - was the primary impediment to online gambling in America, as it prohibited the use of interstate communication for gambling purposes. In 2002, however, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Wire Act only applies to sports betting, but "does not prohibit Internet gambling on a game of chance."
In 2011 the Department of Justice (DOJ) affirmed that ruling with a formal legal opinion stating much the same. Those rulings allowed for online gambling in the United States on a federal level, excepting sports betting. In order for an online casino to begin U.S. operations, however, it must also be legal on a state level. So far the states of Delaware, New Jersey, and Nevada have all passed laws allowing making online casino and poker play legal for their residents, with many more states strongly considering similar measures.
The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA) dealt a huge blow to what was at the time a thriving online poker industry in the United States. The law "prohibits gambling businesses from knowingly accepting payments in connection with the participation of another person in a bet or wager that involves the use of the Internet and that is unlawful under any federal or state law."
In essence the law made it illegal for gambling companies to knowingly accept wagers from players residing in places with either a state or federal prohibition against online gambling. In response to the law and the following cases brought regarding the law, a large number of online betting sites simply stopped accepting players from the US, with a number of companies suffering massive devaluation as a result.
This day will live in infamy among the gambling world as 'Black Friday', a day which saw Party Gaming's public stock drop almost 60% within 24 hours of the decision. As a result, very few overseas gambling entities still accept American players, with almost all that do possessing reputations as shady, rogue companies.
A notable exception in UIGEA exists as it relates to skill-based games and fantasy sports. This exception has allowed sites like DraftKings to spring up with their daily fantasy sports (DFS) options, which are legal everywhere in the United States unless specific laws have been passed to outlaw them.
As of this writing the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Iowa, Montana, and Washington have all passed laws banning daily fantasy sports, while only one, Maryland, has expressly declared them legal.
Recent incidents regarding employees at the two major DFS companies, however, have opened daily fantasy sports to major legal scrutiny. Any changes in policy / regulation regarding these types of games will be addressed in our interactive map should they occur.
Thanks to the DOJ's clarification in regards to the Wire Act individual states are now free to regulate and tax internet gambling at their own discretion. As recently as February 2014, nine new states were reportedly considering such legislation, while New Jersey was looking into expanding their regulatory system beyond just poker and casino games.
The trend appears to be shifting towards increased legalization, but until laws become official, American players outside of Delaware, Nevada, and New Jersey still lack legal venues for online gambling.

Nairobi: A Kenyan official says militants believed to be from the Somali extremist group al Shabab have killed at least 4 police in an attack on a police post near the Somalia border.
Rashid Khattor, commissioner for Garissa county in Kenya`s north east, said on Saturday that about 40 armed extremists last night raided a police post in Galmagalla village, a remote area that he said had poor communications infrastructure.
Somalia`s Islamic extremist network al Shabab claimed responsibility on Twitter, saying its fighters killed five police and seized dozens of weapons in the attack.
Al Shabab has staged many attacks inside Kenya in retaliation for the Kenyan government`s decision in 2011 to send troops into Somalia to battle them. The Kenyan government sent troops there after several cross-border attacks and kidnappings of foreign tourists.

Luke Grimes Exited 'True Blood' Because He Refused to Play Gay Character?
Luke Grimes' exit from the hit series True Blood left many confused last year and the decision was said to be made because of the "creative decision of the character."
The 30-year-old actor's role was recast with Bunheads actor Nathan Parsons and now that the season premiere has aired, we know a little about where the director of the character is heading.
Luke's character James is heading towards a romantic relationship with Lafayette (Nelson Ellis) and now Buzzfeed is saying that he "objected to the first few scripts he received, once it became clear that his character would become romantically involved with Lafayette. He countered that he would be willing to play the role if Lafayette were attracted to him, but not if the attraction was mutual. He also did not want to do any same-sex kissing or sex scenes. The writers were unwilling to change the scripts on his behalf."
While HBO stands by their original statement about Luke's exit, the actor's publicist is saying that it was a matter of scheduling and that he always had an out clause in his contract, which he used to make films like Fifty Shades of Grey, American Sniper, and The Shangri-La Suite. The rep says the exit "had nothing to do with storylines, which he had not been privy to at the time of that posting."

Science & Technology - 3D Chip interconnection
3D Chip interconnection
We research 3D chip interconnection for performance gain and power reduction, because conventional CMOS scaling come closer to physical limit.
- Increase of device count per unit area and downsizing of device can be realized by stacking Si chips vertically, which were placed side by side conventionally.
- Wiring length can be cut down and power consumption can be reduced by replacing wirebond (mm order length) with through silicon via (TSV) and microbump (micron order length).
- Integration of mixed devices such as analog, digital, memory, CPU, and MEMS can be realized.
Technical challenges:
- TSV process for narrow pitch and low capacitance
- Low cost, high yield, high reliability of 3D chip interconnection
- Cooling technology for 3D stacked devices
Approaches in IBM Research-Tokyo:
- Micro connection pitch 150μm ⇒ 40μm ⇒ 10μm
- New die stacking process technique
- Ultra narrow gap resin fill technique
- Thermal management

Beaches in Sydney
For the domestic tourist Australia is something exotic because it is located practically on a reverse side of the globe. However those who nevertheless risked and visited magnificent beaches of the Australian coast, remain very happy. The country with soft climate annually accepts thousands tourists from all over the world, hospitably welcoming each of them light streets and smiles on faces of locals. Beaches of Sydney involve tourists first of all with faultlessly pure water and high level of beach service.
Well-known Manley Bich
Locals very much love Manley's beach therefore here quite often happens to so many people that there's not an inch of room. The majority of tourists, however, does not frighten off it. Manley Bich settled down in east part of the island and entices vacationers first of all good possibility to be engaged in surfing and windsurfing. Also there are offers to sweep on a catamaran, the boat, a boat, a kayak or to dive with an aqualung. The prices for similar services bite a little, but impressions which you by all means receive, stand much more.
Also on a beach historical tours during which tourists learn about features of emigration in Sydney, its preconditions and consequences are conducted. Manley's beach also offers unique bicycle round which will help to examine well the island and to see all local sights. If you want to sweep on a bicycle alone, can simply hire it.
In Manley Bich's territory the set of other original entertainments is available:
- festival «Food and wine»;
- competitions on surfing;
- supervision over life of surprising whales and flying fishes;
- pleasure by a type of a decline on local observation decks and many other things.
Uniqueness of beaches of Sydney
Many vacationers seriously consider that the best sandy beaches of Sydney cannot have the competition simply because better already there is no place. All local beaches are located along the coast of the Pacific Ocean which waters strike with purity and transparency. In the southern and northern part of the coast about 70 beaches therefore vacationers always have a huge choice are concentrated.
For example, the beach of Bondi Beach based still in 1882 is very popular. Certainly, since then it strongly changed, and now this place is simply ideal for fans of extreme water sports and outdoor activities. Waves here are lower, than in the southern part of the island, and in water sometimes it is possible to see spark fins. There is nothing to be afraid – the territory for bathing is protected from oceanic predators, and safety of vacationers is watched vigilantly by professional rescuers. Children will be glad to dolphins jumping out of water, and adults can perfectly have a rest in a local bar or a recreational zone.

One week after celebrating that exciting night, I have received my decision in writing. It's really happening. Have I started packing like I said I would? I've done a bit of cleaning, but no, not really. Instead, I have been going mad with notes and figures from travel agents and vets and computer repair companies. Yep, that same day my PC decided to conk it, decided it didn't want to wait three months until after I left, meaning this year I have so far broken my phone, iPad, and computer. And I need it now more than ever to organise our Etsy store, Gumtree listings, scan all my important documents into electronic form, and back up my files. Oh, my harddrive and files are perfectly safe, but I've been told the rest of it is too old and dying and it's not worth repairing that I'm better off getting a new one. For three months. Needless to say, I've barely had a chance to be able to consider this. It's been a very stressful week with a lot of late nights.
Every night I have been looking up flight comparison websites trying to find cheapest days and best deals for a return flight for Johan to come out to Australia, and a matching one way flight for me. All Sunday I spent the day at four different travel agents explaining our situation, Johan has looked at his end and I'm about to spend another two and about half hours looking at travel agents in the city this morning. The hope is that I will have flights locked in this afternoon, and booked and paid for by the weekend. And a vet appointment and cat's flights booked next week. I am totalling fearing the flights will increase over the Easter long weekend if we don't, and there's already some flights were looking at that are saying there's few seats left. Hence the rush to get it all booked as soon as possible.
Part of me wonders why I'm delaying so much in booking. But now more than ever we need to get the best possible deal, especially if I'm up for another $500 for a new computer. Problem is, I know the flights we want with Singapore Airlines. But no travel agent (in Brisbane or Stockholm) seems to be able to book the return flight for Johan for the prices that are showing online ($1200- $1400). They can book my one-way flight ($989!) but not his. So if we want to fly together, the next cheapest we've been given is $2775 for both of us with Emirates (my one way flight being $200 more and his flight $200-400). And the Emirates flights are not as nicely timed arriving in Stockholm as the Singapore Airlines flights (midnight and midday vs. 8.30am) to meet my cat's arrival at 7am. And all of this doesnt even include the travel insurance yet! So a lot of worry, and lot of stress. I'm feeling more stressed than I can ever remember being. Not the least of which because I've never made so many phone calls in my life! AND, my work contract is due to finish on April 28, and like my last job it seems they are leaving it to the last minute to tell us whether the contract will extend or not.
The tragedy in Stockholm last week hit us hard, but all of Johan's friends and family are safe. My eyes have watered more than once reading the articles on The Local about Swedes (natives and foreigners) coming together and holding signs about love, not fear. Over 20,000 people, including Johan, turned up in the city to honour the victims and emergency service workers that stepped up to the event immediately. I was impressed too, that they had a crisis management plan implemented within 8 minutes of the attack. But it was the regular citizens too, offering hugs and opening their homes up to strangers who couldn't make it home on public transport. This is the country I want to live in, that I will – very soon – live in.

The traditional way to look at an agency is by function: creative director, account service, planning, digital and finance. Theoretically, you put the right functions in place, hire the correct number of people, and you're ready for business.
That's way too simplistic. It's like lining up your checker pieces for a chess game. I began to try and imagine different ways to assemble an agency, rethinking all the intangibles that lead to innovative ideas and original creative work.
In place of job titles and functions, I began to think about the personality types you need. On its own, any single personality can tip the balance in the wrong way. Get the mix right and you create magic.
Over the years, I've worked with introverts and extroverts; impulsive decision makers and people that deliberate ad nauseam; maniacs and saints; workhorses and the chronically lazy (who occasionally show flashes of brilliance); the overly sensitive and the imperviously thick-skinned; the pathologically organized and their counterpart, the inspired slob. As the old saying goes, it takes a zoo to create an agency.
Looking beyond that delightful range of personalities, you need four or five core types of people to make an agency hum. They represent the essential chemistry for success. They clash and sometimes drive each other insane. They may not want to admit it, but they complete each other.
You need a gambler, someone who will walk the tight rope, and make a few bold moves. At some point every agency will take calculated risks on office space, people and new capabilities. The gambler possesses the fortitude to take those leaps of faith during stomach-turning moments when the outcome is uncertain.
Since extroverts tend to dominate the industry, I would want a quiet observer, a person who shuns the spotlight but studies the human factors and can supply insights into organizational dynamics and complex business situations. When emotions and stress run high, he serves as a celestial navigator.
Every agency needs a lover of all things new, because most of us gravitate toward the familiar, and fall back on the tried and true. This person feels a gravitational pull toward every shiny new object. While he can fall prey to trends, he makes us look at shifts in popular culture and see the potential in new technologies.
Give me a ferocious competitor, a person who wades right in for the fight and doesn't shrink from impossible challenges. Big names don't intimidate him, and where others fall susceptible to doubt, he always believes that victory is in sight.
Don't forget the mechanic, a skilled practitioner with the ethic to produce work to the highest standard with efficiency and pride. These people set the bar for craftsmanship that inspires others.
It doesn't matter in what department these people work, although you may not want the gambler in accounting. They may share some traits as well: the ability to dream big, creativity, and native intelligence. The jackpot is when they appreciate the power of their complementary talents and actually like each other.

They call him "D-Wade" but when you check out his game on the court all kinds of adjectives come to mind when thinking about the kid who puts the flames in the Heat.
Miami Heat rookie sensation Dwyane Wade is quietly raising some eyebrows around the league with his strong all-around play, dazzling dunks, and deceptive quickness. And while Wade may have come in under the radar, his steady play has south Florida locals smiling again after their head coach bolted just before the season started.
The young rookie from Marquette has the guts of a burglar as he pulled the trigger whenever the Golden Eagles needed a shot in leading them to the Final Four in 2003. Now, Wade is dealing with the adjustment from scorer to set-up man in the NBA.
Wade goes one-on-one with IGN Sports to talk about his new role in the NBA.
IGN Sports: Were you surprised how quickly you were thrown into the fire early in your NBA career?
Dwyane Wade: Not really surprised, I think I was more anxious and excited because this is what I have dreamed of doing all my life.
IGN Sports: LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony seemed to grab the all of the media attention coming into the league. Do you think that has helped take some of the pressure off of you?
Dwyane Wade: I think it has taken a lot of national expectations off me, but not off the expectations from my team. My team expects a lot of me and I expect a lot out of myself. Nationally a lot of people are not looking at me right now, which is okay for me.
IGN Sports: How shocked were you when your former head coach Pat Riley announced his retirement?
Dwyane Wade: I was totally caught off guard like the rest of the world when he announced that he was going to retire. We didn't know...nobody knew that was going to happen. But you have to respect his decision and move on.
IGN Sports: You are surrounded by a group of talented players, who has taken you under their wing to show you the ropes?
Dwyane Wade: All the guys on the team have done a great job of showing the ins and outs of the game. I think Eddie Jones and Caron Butler have done a good job of showing me and telling me what to do.
IGN Sports: What is your true position and has that role been defined yet?

Identification Mechanisms
Biometrics refers to the automatic identification or identity verification of living persons using their enduring physical or behavioural characteristics. Many body parts, personal characteristics and imaging methods have been suggested and used for biometric systems: fingers, hands, feet, faces, eyes, ears, teeth, veins, voices, signatures, typing styles, gaits and odours. By far the most significant negative aspect of biometric ID systems is their potential to locate and track people physically.
The severe chilling effect biometrics would have if adopted as a technique to track individuals is unconscionable. Justice Action believes that the ability to identify and track someone to this regard counters basic freedoms and human rights and should be avoided at all costs. Of particular concern is the extent to which this would affect the criminal realm. The methods by which authorities collect evidence against an accused would be questionable at best, and likely result in numerous wrongful convictions - something our justice system cannot afford.

Watch: Caskey 'Amsterdam Freestyle'
Cash Money Records/YMCMB artist Caskey was in Amsterdam last week, and spit a pretty dope freestyle on the street of the Dutch city. Of course, given what Amsterdam is known for, it's no wonder it took him three takes to get it right. Check it out above.

Compton Menace, under Game's Black Wall Street Records (remember all those t-shirts from the "Hate it or Love it" music video?), has been somewhat under the radar, but on the grind for a while.
The capital C-P-T representative assures of his down-since-day-one nature, adding Wiz Khalifa and Game to the track to preach the same qualities. The Taylor Gang leader spends a little more of his air time discussing his net worth and ability to inhale a consciousness compromising amount of loud (something we know for certain will never change).

Fans of rock legend Stevie Wright are about to witness what may be the final public performance of the former Easybeats frontman.
Screening on Monday night, Wright will perform a part of his 1970s hit, Evie, in a duet with actor, musician and former WIN TV presenter, Scott McRae.
Don't expect much.
Wright now lives on the South Coast with his long-time partner, Fay Walker, a survivor of a life ravaged by almost every excess imaginable.
At the age of 64, his career has received a shot in the arm thanks to a biographical show, Stevie, written by McRae and performed twice in Wollongong last year.
"To me, Stevie Wright is the greatest frontman that Australian music has ever had," McRae tells Australian Story on ABC Television.
McRae first saw Wright in 1979 at a concert on the forecourt of Sydney Opera House.
"I was 12 or 13 and pretty much mesmerised by this wiry dude who was energised and doing backflips and all sorts of stuff.
"He just had this aura that made you fixate with him," McRae says.
Fast forward 30 years, and McRae's television job presenting a travel show ended, so he contacted Wright to see if he would collaborate on a show.
"I figured that if you didn't go and get as close to the subject as possible then you open yourself up to ridicule," McRae told the Mercury last year.
"I want people to remember him the way he was more so than what he is now.
"The legacy he has left as a musician stands on its own."

Tenerife is a privileged island, not only because of its climate. The peaks of the island, away from the light pollution of urban areas, are the best place to stargaze in Tenerife.
In fact, since 2014, the sky of the Teide National Park is recognised as a "Starlight Destination" in the "Tourist Destination" category; a title awarded by the Starlight Foundation certifying that stargazing in the Teide National Park meets the requirements and procedures for the protection of the sky and its natural and associated cultural values.
Interesting facts about stars
Did you know that there are aproximately four hundred thousand million stars in our galaxy? It is an impressive figure. Almost as astonishing as the number of stars that make up the Milky Way: about a hundred thousand million.
Do you know how many constellations there are and how many of these constellations can be seen from Mount Teide?
According to the International Astronomical Union, every night the starry sky presents 88 constellations which transport us immediately back to the ancient times when different civilizations, who relied on the constellations to guide their travels and used them to develop their religious and agricultural calendars, had the powerful imagination to name the constellations after what their shape reminded them of.
From Tenerife, 83 of the 88 officially recognised constellations can be seen. To do this, you only need to go up to Teide to view all the constellations of the northern hemisphere and most constellations of the southern hemisphere, while you enjoy stargazing as you have never done before on one of our experiences to watch the sunset and stars from Mount Teide.
Phenomena that can be spotted while stargazing on Mount Teide
Throughout the year, the sky offers us various celestial shows that you cannot miss when visiting Tenerife, as the Teide becomes the best amphitheatre to sit back and enjoy stargazing.
Some of the most spectacular stellar phenomena take the form of meteor showers. Perhaps the best known for being the year's last, and of high intensity, is the Geminid meteor shower, though the sky treats us to meteor showers almost every month: the Quadrantids in January and the Perseids in August are just some of the various meteor showers that occur throughout the year.
If you visit Tenerife in summer, you will find that the starry summer sky has two main protagonists: the Milky Way and the Summer Triangle.
The Milky Way is a spectacular misty band that crosses the sky and is especially visible during the summer months, whilst the Summer Triangle is a unique formation of three bright stars which, in the summer, reign over the top part of the sky.
If you visit Tenerife in the warmer months, find out why you should go up to the top of Mount Teide to stargaze in summer.

by Saurabh Somani
Kumar Sangakkara had under-achieved throughout the Test series, except in the last innings that he played, and he came out today intent on righting his team's course, and giving the Indians a taste of their own medicine.
With dew expected to play a part later on, MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to bowl first. With opinions varying on what would be a good total from 150-170, the debate suddenly seemed meaningless as Sangakkara cut loose. He smashed 78 off 37 balls, equalling the Sri Lankan record for the fastest 50 on the way, and was instrumental in taking Sri Lanka to their highest Twenty20 score against India.
India were lethargic and generous in the field, with Ishant Sharma dropping two sitters and fumbling an easy run-out chance and Yuvraj Singh dropping another sitter - and the fielding seemed comical rather than international.
Jayasuriya and Dilshan started off the proceedings for Sri Lanka, and they both benefitted from dropped catches. After a quiet start, Jayasuriya exploded in the fifth over, hitting Nehra for five 4s. After that, Sri Lanka never looked back.
Though Jayasuriya fell soon, Sangakkara entered and hit two fours and a six off in the first five balls that he faced. That set the tone for Sangakkara's innings, and Sangakkara set the tone for Sri Lanka's innings.
Dilshan was quiet by his standards, but with Sangakkara in the mood he was in, it didn't make a difference as Sri Lanka moved closer to a run-rate of 10 per over.
Dilshan fell for 34 at a little better than a run-a-ball, and India had a brief chance at coming back in the game when Mahela Jayawardene too fell soon after, but then Sangakkara and Kapugedera combined to produce a partnership that put the game out of India's reach. The stand produced a manic 69 runs scored off just 33 balls - which meant they were scoring at better than 2 runs a ball - and was broken only when there was just one over left in the Lankan innings and within touching distance of the 200-mark.
During the course of the partnership, Sangakkara had reached his half-century off just 21 balls, while Kapugedera looked set to join him, but fell for 47 off 20 balls. Angelo Mathews then came in and nonchalantly swatted 15 off 4 balls, as Sri Lanka ended up on a mammoth 215/5. Sangakkara was run-out off the last ball of the innings but by then he had done his job spectacularly well. He came in and took control of the Sri Lankan innings, and all around him batsmen flowered. He had looked in supreme touch right from the first ball he faced, and off the 37 balls he played, there were only 6 dot balls. As an illustration of how to maximize runs in a Twenty20 game, it was as good as it could get.
With a total of 215 on the board, most teams would have been safe bets by long shots, but then most teams wouldn't have been up against the most devastating opening combination in modern cricket. Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir started off in frenetic fashion, but Sehwag fell early for 26 off 14 balls to a well thought out trap. Kulasekara lured him with a short and wide ball from round the stumps that Sehwag ended up hitting straight down the throat of deep point.
However, Gambhir seemed to be on a mission to make Sangakkara's innings look slow, as he unfurled a range of shots all around the wicket to give the Sri Lankans an almighty scare. Gambhir reached his half-century off just 19 balls - the second fastest by an Indian after Yuvraj's six-sixes-12-ball bash - and looked set to terrorize the Lankans further when he fell, trying to be too cheeky. An attempted paddle off Angelo Mathews missed his bat and connected with his stumps, but at 93/2 in 8.2 overs, Gambhir had at least given India a chance to make a fight of the chase.
What he didn't know was that his departure would herald the start of a procession, wherein the Indian batsmen came turn by turn out to the centre, and duly made their way back to the dug-out after being dismissed for single figures. Gambhir's wicket was the start of a phase where India lost 6 wickets for 36 runs in 32 balls, thereby effectively ending the match as a contest. At the end of the carnage, India were 129/7 in the 14th over, with not a single recognized batsman left standing. Dhoni, Yuvraj, Rohit Sharma and Yusuf Pathan all fell for single figures, as all the good work by Gambhir was undone.
The tail wagged a bit, and ensured that India were not bowled out, ending up at 186/9. The eventual margin of 29 runs flattered India, since Sri Lanka had dominated most parts of the match, and India were never in the hunt after Gambhir fell.
The win will come as some consolation to a side that might have thought winning anything on Indian soil was impossible, and should put them in a much better frame of mind for the limited overs matches that remain.
Captain's knock takes Sri Lanka to victory

1) What did you make of the system and where the players played today?
@Flannyballs – I think the front three of Giroud, Welbeck and Alexis is a good mix and has an interesting dynamic. I also like the idea of both Santi and Özil in the middle, in that it sees our two most talented players in positions where they see the most of the ball–although I'm not sure it would work in every match.
@JokmanAFC - It certainly worked. Welbeck and Alexis switched flanks and occasionally Welbeck was a partner for Ollie. Santi played more of a box to box role which has worked for him, which gave Özil the freedom which he needs. I liked it. Flamini played well too!
@omomo14 – Think the system was just about right, Arsène persisted with the same set-up we have grown accustomed to but with Özil and Flamini coming into the fold. To be honest I was a bit skeptical about Özil in a midfield 3 but boy was he impressive. Him and Santi together orchestrating things was a joy to behold. Ramsey and Jack could take to some learning from a attacking point of view. Sometimes less means more.
@Snir_Geuli - I, for one am one that is very fond of Santi in the box to box role he has been playing more of this season with Aaron and Jack's injuries. His technical ability on the ball allows us to both relieve pressure when we win possession and his accuracy in his passing makes him the perfect distributor. He also makes plenty of late runs into the box. In this kind of form and against these kind of teams, he is able to be the perfect conductor.
2) Were there any differences in performance compared to the Leicester City match? If so what were they?
@Flannyballs – Nothing fundamental, I don't think. It just clicked today whereas against Leicester it didn't particularly. And let's not forget we were the width of a post away from it being the same result!
@JokmanAFC - Yup. Far more energy and an opposition that came to soak up pressure. The Foxes harassed us and wanted points. They were desperate. Boro had a game plan that didn't work.
@0momo14 – Of course there was. The players were a lot more confident in their abilities. Quite understandable they were jittery going into the Leicester game after the North London Derby defeat but today they shook the jittery aside and played with so much understanding and flair. The 'Boro side couldn't get near us. We should have scored 4, 5 goals if not for brilliant goal-keeping.
@Snir_Geuli - Most definitely. I actually thought Leicester deserved all three points, not just a draw, and were extremely unlucky to lose. That game looked like a classic AW "it's hard to regain confidence once you've lost it" game after defeat and you could see the players were concerned. We were labored as opposed to today where we seemed up for it from the off.
3) What did you make of new boy Gabriel?
@Flannyballs – I was very impressed. He was much better in possession than I was expecting; I thought his distribution was economical without being retrograde. It's just one game, and against lower league opposition, but it's a good starting point.
@JokmanAFC - He was solid. Considering the language barrier, he positioned himself correctly with just his defensive nous, which bodes well. He took a booking for the cause and he didn't shy away from the 'elbows up' aerial duels that Boro were employing. It's very early but he looked good.
@omomo14 – He had an assured performance, didn't have much to do defensively but when called, he did well and took one for the team when 'Boro created an opening. Was also bit surprised he play on the right side of defence. I swear thought he was a left footer but made use of his right foot all game. Impressive.
@Snir_Geuli - I thought he did well. I think Arsene tried to downplay expectations with his language comments to give him a ready made excuse in case he messed up. I thought he was very focused and wanted to impress. His pace was impressive and his ability on the ball was equally impressive as he sometimes chose the riskier but more rewarding option (stabbing the ball with his right to the free midfielder instead of back to the keeper).
4) Not that we have to do this but who was better today, Santi or Mesut?
@Flannyballs – Özil. But you are asking me to choose between Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel here. What I'm saying is that there is no good reason we can't all be together and be perfectly happy without anyone telling my wife.
@JokmanAFC - Hard to compare as the roles they had were vastly different. They both played their position well but if you're asking me who is the best No10 I'll unashamedly say Özil. The boy is a pass master.
@omomo14 – Mesut for me, Santi had the telling pass that led to the first goal but Mesut had a very sound game. The grace at which he plays is a beauty, you have got to look deep to see it and that was the case today. Wonder how Neil Ashton would be feeling seeing Mesut has hit form?
@Snir_Geuli - For me it was Santi. Not to take anything away from Mesut because he was fantastic all across the attacking midfield as he roamed from the center to the left and right. Santi however, was everywhere on the pitch and was at the start of every incisive Arsenal move. Santi started the move, Mesut provided the incisiveness. Both were fantastic and provided passes to open up their defence that not many players can provide (Santi for Gibbs which drew the defender and left Giroud free in the box, and Mesut's one two with Alexis to set him up for a shot).
5) You may have already answered this but who was your Arsenal man of the match today?
@Flannyballs – It's got to be big Mesut. He's been excellent since his return from injury.
@JokmanAFC - My MOTM would go to Giroud as he made the difference. Special mentions to a roving Gibbs and Flamini who has been under a lot of focus lately.
@omomo14 – I would have gone with Özil but it wouldn't be fair on Giroud, our 2-goal hero. Dude scored 2 well taken goals, deserves it in all honesty. Giroud has looked a different player this season, improved his conversion rate and movement. Noticed how he stepped up to allow Welbeck come in. it shows a man willing to improve.
@Snir_Geuli - Santi. But Mesut was a very very close second.
6) If you had to play Theo or Welbeck for 10 games in a row while the other one gets limited minutes, who would you choose?
@Flannyballs – It would depend on who else was in the side. If we had Alexis in, probably Welbeck; if we had, say, Özil on the other flank, I'd go Theo. It's nice to have these sorts of options so that the balance of the side can be tailored without being too dependent on any given individual. Imagine what a player we'd have if we could combine Theo's effectiveness in the final third with Welbeck's all-round game, though. Oh wait, that's basically Alexis.
@JokmanAFC - That's a toughie. I'd go for Theo though, as he can get you 20 goals, whereas Danny will show more endeavour and he holds the ball better, plus he tracks back to better effect, but he won't get as many goals. Goals make the difference.
@omomo14 - Tough question. I'm a massive Theo fan so I would be inclined to pick him ahead of Welbeck but still Welbeck gives us a bit of defensive security and is also a threat with his pace going forward, so he has got the advantage sincerely. Thank goodness I'm not the manager, left for Arsène to pick who he deems fit.
@Snir_Geuli - Welbeck, and even Ox over Theo at the moment. I like Theo a lot, but his lack of defensive nous is hurting us, especially when he's playing with Hector who is closing the gap to Per and leaving the flank open. The winger must help and Ox was much better at that at the Etihad. Welbeck would be the same. Theo on the other hand makes teams set up differently and not commit as many players forward. Welbeck or Ox do not have Theo's pace but are both pacy enough to punish a team that does commit numbers forward while also being much better at link up play with the midfield to their technical superiority over Theo. Theo is indubitably a better finisher than both but has been very rusty in front of goal since coming back and Welbeck's defensive effort is more important to us at the moment, as could be seen at White Hart Lane.
7) Do you think we'll win the FA Cup again? Gut feelings and stuff..
@Flannyballs – Come back to me after the draw. If we get United, Liverpool or Bradford away, I'm gonna say no. If Preston knock out United and Liverpool get Bradford away, then yep. Wenger has an excellent pedigree in the cup, and I would love for him to get the record for post-war wins.
@JokmanAFC - Every one in the media believe it's destiny for Gerrard in his last game for L'pool to lift the Cup. I believe it's destiny for us to meet them in the final and gain revenge for that final in '01 when they stole it. That would be delicious.
@omomo14 – Provided we stay clear off the boys, in this case UTD and Liverpool till the final at least, then why not, but for now, I don't want to tempt fate. One game at a time.
@Snir_Geuli - I do not have a doubt in my mind. I feel as if we are better equipped to play at Anfield now as opposed to the horrible game earlier this season. We are definitely capable of beating United (if they qualify) who absolutely robbed us at the Ems. We've been very dominant at home this season. No matter who we get and where in the quarters we should go through to the Semis where we should be on top as were both the holders and the best team remaining.
8) Any other thoughts?
@Flannyballs – Hopefully today's performance is a sign that the Tottenham game was an aberration. This can still be a very decent season for us, but we need to show some real consistency over the next 2 months for that to happen.
@JokmanAFC - A professional performance with no new injuries and progression in the Cup. Aside from Bork's GK, they didn't play well or show any intent. We deserved it. If we do get to the Final, I'm willing to sell my kidney for a ticket.
@omomo14 – Arsenal is by far the greatest team the world has seen. Lol!
@Snir_Geuli - Unfortunately the season did not start in January. I feel as if this team is going through the same process of getting to know each other and the system as the team in 12-13 did. I certainly feel like we SHOULD (not only can) win all our remaining Premier League games including United away and Chelsea at home. I really think Coquelin offers us a lot and at times play like a free safety in American football spying over the park and just cuts off any supply lines. I really think this team is closer than ever to greatness and expect (not just hope) us to make a Champions League run.
Up the Arsenal!
