Chelsea has been eliminated from UEFA Champions League, having lost 1-0 to José Mourinho and Internazionale at Stamford Bridge, leaving the tournament on Tuesday after a 3-1 aggregate defeat. On this edition of the EPL Talk podcast, Kartik Krishnaiyer and myself review the Special One's return to the Bridge and ask how the surviving English Premier League sides would fair against Mourinho's Inter. Also, we look forward to Thursday's Europa League matches and Sunday's match-up between Manchester United and Liverpool.
At the end of this broadcast, I take time to address some of the feedback provided this weekend, to The Gaffer's post. Going forward, we would like to be able to interact with your comments through the show. Feel free to provide feedback and ask questions about each show, and we will try to incorporate them into future distributions.
Thank you very much for listening.

Debriefing the Gurdjieff work
I have to move on and stay away from the Osho zone, although I can't be sure what is going on. Future sannyasins need to consider how to deal with crossinvultuation of sannyasins by rogue demons like Gurdjieff. That of course is what his enemies want: scare people away. But the danger is real of demonic Osho phantoms interacting with sannyasins.
Don't graft the two things together, and skip Aleister Crowley.
I am an outsider, so my testimony is up in the air. But the problem remains.
I think sufism is worthless at this point for westerners. The seed plexus phenomenon is unsafe at this point, and flunks security 101: clear statements from honest people about that is going on.
Meanwhile it is important to try and understand your path to enlightenment: it cannot come form a dead buddha giving instructions via the astral plane!
The Osho world seems to lack the 'refuge' option in buddhism. But I wouldn't put much stock in that either.
Put yourself in charge of your 'path'. Don't deal in surrender games with dead entities. There can be all sorts of exceptions here, but in general the whole game is insecure.
As per previous post: the suspicion is that Gold et al. want to track down the reincarnation of Ouspensky and destroy him in order to create his (jewish) monopoly of the 'work' franchise, a very lucrative, as it were, form of once sufistic spiritual activity. The spiritual cannibalism factor makes the Ouspensky corpus, one of the greatest success of spiritual advertising ever, a gross temptation. But Ouspensky made it through and is trying to debrief the 'Gurdjieff Con'.
Didn't I make it clear already? The sufis are all con artists.
I am suspicious of this Tibetan system re: reincarnation. If the lamas have the powers stated why won't they help people in need to find out their reincarnations. We have discussed here the way I have been confused with the reincarnation of Ouspenksy and subjected to black magic attacks as if that were true. That is a revealing suggestion of the total lack of ethical behavior in the sufi world.
In general, a worse situation is frequent, I am sure: people reincarnate, some spiritual people find out, and, failing to inform the victim, exploit them without their knowledge.
It would be of great help if the reincarnation of Ouspensky could be found, to stop these monsters from attacking me to take control of the Ouspensky legacy.
http://www.kheper.net/topics/Gurdjieff/Gurdjieff.PDFThis link from one of NK's comments is helpful.
I have long been critical of the enneagram on mathematical grounds, and this version below is of interest. To me the whole proposition is absurd. It is actually move useful to ditch the enneagram and to consider its simpler version: a sequential logic of seven term systems, and the 'law of three'. Scientists have struggled for a long time with reality. To challenge all that with unsupported claims for the 'law of three' is unacceptable, especially from a con artist like Gurdjieff. Note that the enneagram is innocent of the distinction of rational and irrational numbers. To base a system on the rational numbers (consider 1/7 as a repeating decimal) seems ludicrous as a symbol of universality.

A review of one the flood of enneagram books now turning mainstream. Given the fraud behind this new age junk It is important for new agers with some math training to help expose this barren nonsensee from someone too dishonest to care about corrupting public knowledge. Gurdjieff's brazen invocation of esoteric Christianity makes it easy to exploit gullible Christian believers.
The baseless confusion of the enneagram myth/hype, March 24, 2015
This review is of: The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective (Paperback)
The material left behind on the enneagram remained relatively sidelined for decades until the key to hyping it appeared in the claims of its use for the study of personality types, a very peripheral species of junk science that created the illusion of making sense.
The enneagram is a completely unfounded form of new age symbology that has never received any clarification. It was expounded by Gurdjieff whose manner was to claim something was esoteric, presenting an outer teaching whose secret content is never revealed. This makes critics prone to pause, lest they confuse the outer wrapper with the content in question. The point is that everything said in public about the enneagram is falsely claiming to explicate a subject too esoteric to reveal in public. There is a better explanation here:: con men at work.
This issue has been further confused by the support given by two student Ouspensky and J.G.Bennett. The latter, who should have known better, gave the subject a pass, although he seemed to have been clearly wary of the symbolism.
No clarification of the nonsense of the enneagram has ever been put forth, and the Nashqbandi sufis, who should have attempted clarification, but instead revealingly changed course with another version of this fraud, the enneagon of Oscar Ichazo, who denounced the enneagram as unscientific. This situation should alert scholars of the danger of using this junk thinking. But now we see an increasing flood of bad treatments of the subject, moving to the core of Christianity.
The attraction to Christians arises from the failed attempt to rejustify the question of the Trinity with something supposed to support its confusions.
I think what early Christians were about here was a possible influence of Indic Samkhya in the spread of Jain yogis into the Roman Empire. The Trinity looks like an attempt to recast the original triad of Samkhya as some kind of esoteric mystery in a veiling of the unmanifest. That's confusing enough once we know that Samkhya was the reference. But its transformation into Christian theology was clearly a distortion of the original meaning.
In any case the quite different enneagram is confusion of seven term and nine term systems, with no explanation for the difference.
In the end the issue is a variant of claims about seven term sequences and the so-called 'law of three'. This was the original thinking, overhyped into an esoteric doctrine, and matched to the enneagram in an illogical confusion of terms.
I think that theologians should be wary of this fake esoteric lore, and consider the opinion of many spiritual teachers as to the fraud in the whole game. Gurdjieff, the source here, put this question into the esoteric doctrine category, which means that doubters are at risk from some very dangerous occultists. This material should never have gone mainstream and is a front for some very unsavory sufis who know perfectly well the whole subject is baloney.
I think the theological community should pull away from this false lead into the realm of the esoteric.
The law of three and the law of seven are interesting thought experiments, but they have no basis in objective knowledge. Only a devious clutz as retarded as Gurdjieff would have thought it possible to get away with such a piece of bad thinking.
Comment Comment | Permalink
The issue of the soul plexus seed phenomenon is hard to assess. But this blog is forcing some answers. I am hearing that the statements about the Gold school are false: that the whole sufi soul game has retreated from the Gold zone and his followers. Great, I will believe anything when I see it. Trying to give jews special advantages here is something sufis would not do, so we are talking about something else. The Gold school had no control over any of this as such, as per all sufis schools.
A fascist jewish sufi isn't a promising venue, so I see the logic of 'confiscation'. But then people who have something to hide will cover their tracks. There is a good chance I have got this question scrambled. But I made a determination to expose the question.
Whatever the case we have done the one thing esoteric gangsters dislike: public revelations.
But I can see that once again the jewish/Xtian boundary is the source of hopeless confusion and mutual suspicion and hatred. Clearly the Islamic/sufi universal category had to be the last refuge of the monotheistic riddle. And I don't think it has anything to do with monotheism. Someone in this mystery is suggesting taking the 'secret' to a communist left: if they can create a serious civilization, sufism will move into it.
Further I am told that my experience of the 'thieves of baraka' episode was irrelevant: there is no shortage of the requisite 'stuff'. In fact my account here has been inconsistent, I have often thought the sufi connection had been restored, despite efforts to dump any further plexus entries. The seed phenomenon pops in and out but I ignore it totally. It is odd: if you seek it, it flees. If you flee from it it seeks you.
The question arises: how become a transmitter.
This is a strange situation that might help to show buddhists and sufis their collision in a phase of globalization. I am at the boundary of two great religious streams, with a question for the future: how will this double heritage find a resolution.
Meanwhile students of Gurdjieff would do better to simply walk away from the Gurdjieff work. It has no connection with the path it is describing and promoting. That takes the cake for cruelty. A reminder once again that spiritual mediated by devils is going to be 'not as expected'.
I suggest a way to deal with people as ruthless as this: the old story of the man with a million pound note. You can do a lot without actually having the money. if you suspect the reality sooner or later it will have to be revealed to you.
Here the knowledge of what you don't have is almost as good as what you do have. And you can assist 'sufis', 99% of whom have been deceived, to not waste their time… Ditto for the conned Gurdjieff flock.
In general I must suspect that this issue is mediated by demonic entities and is therefore a dangerous game. And the prospect of 'immortality' if that means a million years as a devil who never knows his master is not a pleasing prospect.
Buddhism and Indic religion proceed beyond time. Endless existence in time is not really more desirable: there, that word, desire. These things are not commodities for desire.
I have spent almost three years going over the Osho question with no result and at this point I have found what I already knew was the catch: guru/disciple relations are on their way out, and certainly won't work on budding leftists.
But I think my intent was slightly different and the Osho field is a good one for historical materialists to study to as non-disciples.
I just got the demonstration of the two way murder racket of suggesting faces and suggestibles like me. Why stop at two.
Osho would not put a stop to this, so, granted the imagination factor, I am 'out of here'
Cross invultuation is a novelty to me, for sure.
I think I have to fight my way out of this. It is my fault for thinking any of these people were my friends. And the danger of multiple guru figures creates the absurd sport of dead gurus to 'hit on' people and blame their enemies. I cannot quite accuse Osho here, but my time with him is over…
Wouldn't they all over to make a public demonstration of the 'non-surrender' types murdered.
Fuck you to gurus everywhere…
Imagination or not, I think I was in a RFC situation re: the Osho commune and my 'Osho project'. That done, and imaginary or not I feel now a kind of entrapment in one of the most open buddhafields, with the Osho declaration he had no guru, one nonetheless almost more authoritarian than all the rest. And this situation raises the question of how to deal with ghosts of dead buddhas. The Osho realization field mysteriously moved 'beyond enlightenment' and seemed to turn into chaos. Beyond the guru's death that can get worse, and invultuation by rabid cannibals of the will, and demonic entities masquerading as that guru, make the issue of an autonomous path almost impossible. Dead buddhas don't strike me as at all helpful. The past year has almost destroyed me, with ego intact, so I am suspicious, and must fight my way out to a safe distance.
I think Osho's breadth/depth made him unique, along with his simple acceptance of modernity. So what happened?
I think Gautama's initiative riding on the wave of the Axial Age had a massive boost that is only now beginning to wane. And Gautama had some connection with a larger field that included Xtianity in the later period of the onset of Mahayana. And this seems to have helped the 'enlightened Gautama' to calculate his strategy, deferring final enlightenment somewhat later in the new era. But the details of all that are lost, most tragically. Someone who could use the information is helpless here: he can become enlightened, but then simply disappear. He can somehow delay this and be present to an era overall. And in a further complication, we see the way in which the revolutionary Gautama started a war of the neo-brahmins to destroy his movement, and drive his camp from India, to the future of the Tibetan reserve. The great Hinayana field remained, however, throughout. So what was the real Mahayana? Simply grinding out boddhissatwas is pointless: they are helpless and won't reincarnate as anything, losing the momentum toward enlightenment in the process…. There is thus a lot missing from the record and I suspect figures like Osho are forced to start over in a mystery. Is Osho simply dissolving away? Haven't the foggiest. But a lot of rogue spirits seem to come in his place.
I am no longer able to resolve the situation and will fight my way out the door to a refuge of some sort.
Dead gurus are dangerous.
I tried to make clear that I have left the new age movement and will truck no further with the anti-democratic anti-modern bias of almost all new age gurus. Gurus and new agers condemning modernity and its own new age are going to either dissipate or end up in the fascist sinkhole left by the estoric 'masters' of the nineteenth century. Adolf Hitler couldn't do it for them, so now they are on astral plane skidrow about to be put in million year jails in the astral asteroid belt. Osho left the impression of being different, but I think it hardly matters.
The whole 'buddhafield spectrum' needs to be recast for a new era: Osho paved the way but stopped. I am not his spokesman and confronting the aggressive 'will destruction' in the 'vicinity' am starting to fight back. So I can't do much there.
So there is a choice here; living with a ghost buddha for an age to come, or creating something like the progression of 24 teertankers who came before Mahavir.

The steam injected into the oil sands reservoir in the SAGD process helps bitumen flow in two ways – reducing its viscosity by heating it, and maintaining pressure in the reservoir to facilitate bitumen flow. MEG's patented eMSAGP technology – enhanced Modified Steam and Gas Push1 - involves co-injecting a non-condensable gas, like natural gas, with the steam. Once there is sufficient heat in the reservoir, the non-condensable gas helps maintain pressure and frees up steam to be redeployed into new SAGD well pairs.
Single collector wells called "infill wells" are also placed in the sweet spot between producing SAGD well pairs to collect bitumen that would otherwise be unrecoverable, increasing efficiency in the reservoir. To date, eMSAGP has been deployed at MEG's Phase 1 and 2 wells, which represent about 25% of the company's production, and has been very successful. The technology has enabled MEG to increase production without increasing steam generation capacity. In those specific well patterns where eMSAGP has already been deployed, the company is currently seeing a steam-oil ratio of approximately 1.3, with the freed-up steam being diverted into new wells to further increase production.
Because eMSAGP requires less steam per barrel of oil, less capital is required to increase production, and as production grows MEG can spread its fixed costs over more barrels and reduce the company's per barrel costs further. eMSAGP is also tremendously flexible in terms of the pace that it can be implemented. MEG can expand the technology across a number of pads at one time or proceed on a well-by- well basis.
MEG's work to expand eMSAGP during 2017 consists primarily of drilling infill and SAGD wells, with minor debottlenecks at the central plant. As this expansion progresses, MEG expects production to ramp up and exit the year at 86,000 to 89,000 barrels per day, with further production increases through 2018 and into 2019.
*1 Steam and Gas Push (SAGP) was invented by the late Dr. Roger Butler, who also invented the SAGD process.

What's Wrong With Tokidoki Barbie?
When I first laid eyes on the new Tokidoki Barbie last Thursday on her release date, I couldn't help but think she was cool — and I'm not a big Barbie fan. Little did I know I was in the minority as parents are in an uproar against her new tattoos!
The latest release from camp Barbie is a collaboration with Japanese-inspired brand Tokidoki (though actually Italian) which includes a vinyl toy pet and a new rocker look. She's definitely more hardcore than Barbies of the past and some parents are raising their voices in concern, not over what she's wearing, or her ridiculously proportioned body, but what's on her fake, plastic skin. Tattoos!
What do you think about Barbie's fresh ink? Are you concerned about a toy that encourages tattoos as a sign of beauty or coolness? Is this Barbie for collectors more than kids?

I had a bit of downtime this week and decided to set up my modded Minecraft server that my friends and I play on during the winter months. It's a nice way to socialize at everyone's leisure and enjoy some collaborative gameplay. I also enjoyed some more Crawl Game with my group.
Data Collection
Game name: Minecraft (Modded) / Crawl
Time played: 10hrs / 3hrs
Game genre: Sandbox / Dungeon Crawler
Days played: Tuesday, Friday, Saturday
Platform played on: PC
Communities / Participants: 3 friends and I / Project Team
Self Reflection
This week was a lot of fun, I played some more Crawl with my team for the Term Knowledge Quest group project and played lots of Minecraft. Minecraft is a relaxing game on its own but the possibilities that mods create for the player make it hard not to play for hours. Unlike with most games, I spend a few hours researching mods and mod packs when I set up a Minecraft server. Sometimes we play with simple mods that make the game more challenging and other times we play with mods that completely alter the game.
One of my favorite parts of Minecraft is how social the game is. It doesn't take a lot of skill to play but it brings people together to collaborate and work together while still allowing solo play. When it comes to the base building I tend to focus on the solo aspect of the game but when it comes to combat and bosses I like to work with a group. I enjoy working with people but I prefer designing my own base. This week while my friends worked on building weapons and armor, I worked on building a rail system between our bases and The Nether.
Around the last hour of playing, we decided to go to The End to fight the Ender Dragon. This was a fun fight and it felt really satisfying to beat the Ender Dragon. It's not a difficult boss but I am normally offline when someone beats it.

Criminals should not be tried twice. There is a reason why double jeopardy exists. It makes sure that both sides are doing their best to win the case, because it can not be done more then once. It also will save the taxpayers money because they are not having to fund twice as many criminal cases.
Court cases are already taking too long for decisions. If we have to go through multiple trials and selecting a jury, it would be too costly and time consuming. Also, I could lead to a third trial if first find the innocent and second finds them guilt and the other way around. Furthermore, we have to appeal courts to go through cases twice.

I think Amish is going to charge hellova money for this course.. but i can tell you now what's its going to be.. ! I know what he is going to teach...
Get the idea from this free video and implement it.. the losers and lazy couch potatoes will buy the course
I thought this was about the Amish people But yeah, he makes $14,121.97 a day and now he will spread the word around the world. Especially the .97 creeps me out.. I've never had a single same cents per day since I started out
I'm sure he makes more than just $14k a day... That's really not that much money to some of the bigger CPA marketers... There's guys in this biz doing 6 figures daily.... Most people just can't comprehend someone making that much money, so they choose not to believe it, or just hate.
ddasilva...mind sharing the basic outline for 100k days ?
I am postivie it require 50k a day in cost? but that would be fine if this can be started small and then staged into more.
good video his earnings are awesome
nice video just watched. il w8 for more like so cheers thnx for share
But how good can it be now that he has given it away or abandoned it.
He has given some good advice in the past but did anybody ever try hexatrack, and they seem to have abandoned that too
Wonder how many blogs like this will popup over the next few weeks
He doesn't make exactly 24,121.97$ a day It's "just" his avarage earnings
something to aspire to
was that 14k just from adwords ? I don't think so cuz i saw him in the ppc ninja course and he was claiming his average income to be 15k-30k per day
where can i get that ppc ninja course?
ok, so i'm starting to watch this video and around the 2:00 mark they show their earnings at diff ad networks, with clickthrough ratios of well over 100%. one of em was 47,000%!!! how is that even possible unless something entirely BH/bannable is happening? School me here because this just doesn't seem possible.
It was a good video to watch. While his websites were good, there isn't actually a link to download msn and yahoo messenger or skype. He shows you his CPC for the campains but how many actually converted?
This method wont make you that much per day. Its ok but there is a better method for that, which I did a year ago. Same kind of ad, download anything here for free. Your page then makes them click a link and fill in an email submit which activates a button. That button takes them to the download page. On that page they download a zip file. It has 2 files in it READFIRST.txt and an encrypted photoshop (or whatever) zip file. The readme says to get the password go to this site (ringtone) enter you cell number enter the pin you get on your cell and click ok. After that the password is the first word on the next page. That method worked pretty well. It will work better than saying download yahoo messenger get smileys and have a banner.
Well email submits get scrubbed so much it was alot of work having to change them all the time or not pay attention and go from 14% to 0% instantly and waste 500 clicks that happened alot to me. It was just kind of a pain i guess i dunno
All I know if I was making this kind of dough, I'd be real quiet about it
and never, ever sell it.......sorry, I don't believe it.
Since you CLAIM to know, why don't you share your ideas here with us.

Over recent years there has been increasing demand for longer cutting tools with tighter tolerances. This interest has often come from the automotive industry. In response, ANCA developed the Travelling Steady (which travels on the P-axis).
The optimum place to support a tool being ground is at the point of greatest load, which is directly under the grinding wheel. A conventional stationary support steady provides enough support for a short tool, but when you are manufacturing tools that are 400mm long, a stationary support will not provide the continual support needed along the entire length of the tool.
The P-axis is an additional axis that can be purchased as an option for the TXcell, TX7+, MX7 and TapX tool grinders. The Travelling Steady travels on the P-axis and uses CNC control to keep the tool support directly underneath the point of grinding at all times. The P-axis Bed Assembly looks like a long black set of bellows within a casting. It allows the tool support options such as the Arobotech to move back and forth so they provide continual support underneath the tool where it is in contact with the grinding wheel.
P-axis Bed Assembly with Tailstock
The Travelling Steady has 3 tool support options:
Each of these is interchangeable and you can purchase a P-axis Bed Assembly with 1, 2 or all 3 options. They all suit different applications where long tools need to be supported by the Travelling Steady. For example, the Tailstock is suitable for Taps and reamers.
The Travelling Steady provides support during grinding to prevent flexing and chatter. During the grinding process, vibration can cause excessive wheel wear, chatter marks and poor surface finish. The Travelling Steady will eliminate these problems by providing rigid tool support. The Travelling Steady and P-axis is available as an option on the TXcell, TX7+ and MX7 machines. It is also available on the TapX for the Tailstock option only.
The Arobotech Travelling Steady consists of an Arobotech unit which provides 3 points of support to the tool. Each support applies continual hydraulic pressure to the tool, even for reducing diameters, such as tools with a back taper.
Arobotech Travelling Steady
Most drills are ground with a back taper to ensure the diameter has clearance when drilling to reduce heat and friction while the tool is engaged in the material. The Arobotech steady accurately supports tools with reducing diameters as it auto-adjusts to centre the support as the diameter changes.
The Arobotech uses high precision ground support pads to hold the tools on three points using line contact. These carbide pads hold the tool on each side and below the drill during grinding. They can cover a large range of different size tools (2mm – 26mm / 0.08" – 1").
This unique tool holding design maintains accuracy, rigidity and true running. The ToolRoom software controls the Arobotech unit by adjusting the hydraulic clamp pressure for the pads to give the tool optimal support when grinding.
The Bush-type version uses a half circular bush to encapsulate the tool during grinding. It is ideal for fixed diameter applications and a wide range of tools. It is specifically suitable for tools with a straight or shear flute.
Bush-type Travelling Steady providing support directly underneath the grinding wheel
The Tailstock also requires the P-axis Bed Assembly and is seen fixed in place on top of one in the first illustration in this article.
With the Tailstock, the tool is supported at both ends. The Tailstock is used for tools such as taps and reamers and is adjustable and easy to set up. It is available as an option for the TapX, TX7+ and MX7 machines.
The force used to hold the tool can be specified using kilograms, pounds or newtons. Using the iGrind software, the operator has complete flexibility and can apply different forces over all operations or individually. Different forces are used depending on the size of the tool.
The TapX tool grinder is used for the production of a wide variety of taps. When grinding taps, a Tailstock is essential for accurate positioning. ANCA conducted detailed research and consulted with tap manufacturers when designing the TapX Tailstock.

Skipper Shahid Afridi took five wickets to help Pakistan overcome a scare at the hands of Canada and clinch a hard-fought 46-run win in their World Cup Group A match at R. Premadasa stadium Thursday.
Pakistan, bowled out for just 184 in 43 overs under overcast skies, hit back with the ball by dismissing Canada, who at one point were 104-3, for 138 in 42.5 overs, with Afridi finishing with 5-23 in his 10 overs.
Afridi now has 14 wickets in three wins in as many matches and is the leading wicket-taker in the World Cup as his side edged closer to the quarter-finals.
With Canada well placed after Jimmy Hansra (43) and Zubin Surkari (27) adding an invaluable 60 for the fourth wicket, Afridi returned for his second spell to take four wickets in 17 deliveries to seal the victory.
In his first spell of six overs he had dismissed Canada skipper Ashish Bagai (16).
Off-spinner Saeed Ajmal, who took 1-31, dismissed Surkari to give Pakistan the first breakthrough before Afridi ran through the remaining batting.
Afridi, who recorded Pakistan's all time best World Cup figures of 5-16 against Kenya, bowled Rizwan Cheema (four) with the last ball of the 35th over, before bowling Hansra and Jimmy Baidwan off successive deliveries in the 37th.
The 31-year-old Pakistan skipper took 4-34 in Pakistan's 11-run win over Sri Lanka on Saturday.
His effort averted another upset in the tournament, just a day after Ireland chased down a mammoth 328-run target to shock England in Bangalore.
The win gives Pakistan six points after three matches, setting them atop of Group A with Sri Lanka and Australia behind.
Earlier, Canada bowled a disciplined line and length with Baidwan (3-35), Cheema (2-33), Hansra (2-23) and Balaji Rao (2-50) combining to bowl out Pakistan for a below-par score.
Umar Akmal (48) and Misbah-ul-Haq (37) added 73 for the fifth wicket to repair the Pakistan innings, but once both departed the 1992 champions lost their last five wickets for a mere 19 runs in five overs.
Opener Mohammad Hafeez (11) was trapped lbw by Henry Osinde in the fourth over before Baidwan dismissed Ahmed Shahzad (12) and Younis Khan (six) in the space of 13 runs.
Cheema made it 67 for four when he had Kamran Akmal (16) caught in the covers in the 16th over, leaving the task of building the innings to Misbah and Umar Akmal.
Rao broke the Misbah-Umar stand, when he trapped Umar lbw in the 35th over and three overs later had Misbah caught by wicket-keeper Bagai to leave Pakistan struggling at 165-6.
Umar hit four boundaries and a six during his 68-ball knock.
Afridi (20) and Abdul Razzaq (eight) also fell cheaply.
Afridi-inspired Pakistan overcome Canada fright
Skipper Shahid Afridi took five wickets to help Pakistan overcome a scare at the hands of Canada and clinch a hard-fought 46-run win in their World Cup Group A match at R. Premadasa stadium Thursday.

Gold eases on reduced buying; silver extends slide
Gold prices eased at the domestic bullion market today due to lack of retail buying interest and weak demand in view of ongoing 'Pitrupaksh'.business Updated: Oct 13, 2012 16:25 IST
Gold prices eased at the domestic bullion market today due to lack of retail buying interest and weak demand in view of ongoing 'Pitrupaksh'.
Silver also dropped further on consistent speculative unwinding coupled with subdued industrial off-take.
Standard gold (99.5 purity) shed Rs. 50 per 10 gm to finish at Rs. 31,125 from overnight closing level of Rs. 31,175.
Pure gold (99.9 purity) moved down by Rs. 45 per 10 gm to settle at Rs. 31,265 from Rs. 31,310.
Silver ready (.999 fineness) declined by Rs. 175 per kg to end at Rs. 61,325 from Friday's closing level of Rs. 61,500.
"Subdued demand from jewellery makers as well as stockists at existing higher levels and poor retail buying due to ongoing 'Pitrupaksh' (a period considered inauspicious by Hindus) kept pressure on gold prices," traders said.
On the global front, gold witnessed week-end profit taking despite a weaker greenback and stronger-than-expected US consumer sentiment data.
Gold for the December delivery fell by USD 10.90 to close at USD 1,759.70 an ounce (28.3 gm) at the Comex division of the NYMEX late yesterday.
Silver for the December contract slumped to conclude at USD 33.67 an ounce.

It had been discussed and hinted at for weeks and months, but it finally happened. The Russian Natural Resources Ministry and Environmental Department Rosprirodnadzor have revoked the permit authorizing Royal Dutch Shell's oil and gas development in Sakhalin. Waiting in the wings is the possibility of revoking Exxon Mobil and Total SA operating permits as well.
'It's symptomatic of the Russian industry to take control of key assets at as low a cost as possible,' said Craig Pennington, global leader of energy research at Schroders Plc in London. 'It's all part of the bargaining for assets up for grabs in Sakhalin-2.'If a nation wishes to manage and exploit its natural resources via state run operations, it is its right to do so. Certainly many other countries do this and it can be generally to the benefit of citizens in poorer nations (at least in theory).
The Natural Resources Ministry in May urged Shell, Exxon and Total to cede more control of their ventures to Russian companies. Gazprom is in talks with Shell about swapping assets to acquire a stake in Sakhalin-2.
'We act in strict conformity with the PSA and Russian legislation and expect the Russian Federation to honor the PSA,' Ivan Chernyakhovsky, Sakhalin Energy spokesman, said before the decision. He declined to comment on the ministry's cancellation of the permit.
The ministry in May also told BP Plc's Russian venture, OAO TNK-BP holding, it must reach an accord with state-run OAO Gazprom to revive an $18 billion Siberian natural-gas venture. Gazprom is in talks to buy the 50 percent of TNK-BP that BP doesn't own, Vedomosti reported today, citing Gazprom officials.
However, to authorize private corporations to explore and develop oil and gas resources, and then pull those permits when they refuse to give in to apparent blackmail efforts by the government to gain a larger piece of the pie - is strictly amateur-hour criminal behavior. It unfortunately simply reinforces the impression of the Russian Federation as a shakey business partner and an undesirable place for foreign investment and development. Their inability to resolve the project issues by some other means calls into question the ability of foreign firms to develop petroleum reserves in Russia.
Now, my understanding of these contracts is that the Russian government would eventually get some percentage of the oil and gas reserves. The oil majors involved spend the money up front, get to recoup that development cost once production starts, and only then have to give over a percentage to the Russian government. So if $10 billion is spent to develop Sakhalin-2, the Russian government doesn't get its slice until after that cost is recovered by Royal Dutch Shell.
However, recently costs for Sakhalin-2 have been projected to have doubled to $20 billion. This is undoubtedly the underlying reason for the Russian government concern and desire to pull the permits on the project. This is the money game that is being played, and no doubt the Russian government is suspicous of cost overages and project accounting. On a project that size, they certainly should be suspicious. From the Dow Jones newswire report last week:
Russia's Minister of Natural Resources, Yuri Trutnev, said last week that enhanced environmental scrutiny of Sakhalin Energy is part of Russia's efforts " to defend its interests" after Shell announced that the cost of the project would nearly double to $20 billion.Exxon's Sakhalin-1 project also recently had its budget increased from $17 billion to $12.8 billion, but because it has partnered at least in part with Rosneft, it appears to have escaped having the plug pulled ... so far. But continued cost overages are likely to have a similar response by the Russian government as the Royal Dutch Shell project.
The project is being developed through a special deal approved by Parliament known as a production-sharing agreement under which, in lieu of taxes, Russia takes part of the oil and gas produced once the investors' costs are covered. Doubling the cost of the project would mean Russia would have to wait longer to see its share of the profits.
Mitvol said his agency also expects a Russian court to hear a suit this week, brought by Rosprirodnadzor, which is aimed at canceling the permit. But Mitvol said the Ministry doesn't need a court decision to withdraw its approval.
If it were any other country, I would expect the final costs and the governments cut to be resolved fairly quickly so that the project can move forward. However, we are talking about the Russian government here - a government that seems to almost relish its reputation for unpredictability.
Additional Headlines Regarding Sakhalin
9/19 - Ecologists Accuse Sakhalin Energy of Barbarous Methods of an Oil Recovery- Ecological groups in Russia accuse Sakhalin Energy of harassing whales and churning up rivers, interfering with fish spawning. I think a bear also shit in the woods without a permit, but my translation may be imperfect.
9/20 - Japan Slams Russia over Sakhalin-2 Suspension
In Tokyo, Shinzo Abe, who is expected next week to become prime minister of Japan, slammed Russia for suspending the Sakhalin II natural gas project, which is 45 percent owned by Japanese trade companies, saying that it would "damage relations between Russia and Japan."I could go on a lengthy rant about the whole idea of preserving nature, and man's role within nature. Suffice to say, I've never understood the idea that everything mankind does is unnatural or that there is any place on the globe that isn't affected by man's presence - particularly as we are part of nature to begin with. I'm all for conserving land, resources, wildlife - but the nature of such conversations and the language that is used, just really chafes my ass.
The difficulties put in jeopardy contracts with Japan, South Korea and the United States on supplies of liquefied natural gas, which are due to go into effect in 2008. Two Japanese-backed companies - Mitsui Sakhalin Development (25%) and Mitsubishi-controlled Diamond Gas Sakhalin (20%) - are major shareholders in Sakhalin Energy.
Russian Minister Trutnev met Monday with Yasuo Saito, Japan's ambassador to Russia, and explained why his ministry had decided to backtrack on an environmental study into one of the country's biggest energy projects. The minister handed photographs ostensibly showing violations of environmental regulations during the project implementation.
"Recommendations were given three years ago, but they have still not been fulfilled," Trutnev said. "It could be argued that they have been implemented in part, but I want to remind you that we cannot preserve nature by half."
9/20 - Russia demands "compromises" on Halted Shell Oil Project
"Compromises must be sought on Sakhalin-2," Economic and Trade Minister German Gref said Tuesday, quoted by RIA Novosti news agency, referring to a 20-billion-dollar (15.8-billion-euro) oil and gas project off Russia's Pacific Coast.9/20 - Gazprom would aid early Sakhalin-2 start - Want to bet that Ambassador Alexander Losyukov has a vested interest?
"We cannot support all the proposals from investors connected to rising costs. It seems to me that they haven't been thoroughly worked out -- there's still more to work on," Gref said. Russia has strongly objected to Shell doubling its initial cost estimate of 10 billion dollars (7.9 billion euros) for developing Sakhalin-2 to 20 billion dollars. Russia said the cost overruns would deprive the state of billions of dollars in shared revenue it expects from the project.
Russia's ambassador to Japan said on Wednesday that Royal Dutch Shell's $20 billion (10.6 billion pound) oil and gas Sakhalin-2 project, which hit new environmental hurdles this week, could start operating early -- if Gazprom joined it.9/20 - No reason to stop Sakhalin II until new survey - I think I've seen this before on TV. It's a shakedown called "good cop - bad cop".
Seeking to quell fears over late-stage objections to the project, which is due to supply large amount of natural gas to Japan from 2008, Ambassador Alexander Losyukov said Sakhalin-2 would move ahead and that he expected Shell to complete talks over selling a (20%) stake to state gas giant Gazprom by year's end.
He said Gazprom was a state-run company and if a state-run company joined the project it may be able to operate earlier. Losyukov ... said about half of 60 environmental violations remained unresolved.
"I do not see any reason to suspend the implementation of the [Sakhalin II] project until a revision of the feasibility study is complete," deputy economics minister Kirill Androsov said. "The state will conduct a new assessment, and the government will decide whether to include or exclude additional expenses in the revised feasibility study," Androsov said.9/20 - Russia Criticized for Withdrawing Sakhalin Oil Permit
"It's a strong sign that all the P.S.A. oil fields could be taken and given to the state," said Konstantin V. Remchukov, the former member of Parliament. "They are dreaming up reasons" to renegotiate, he said.
On Tuesday, the economy minister, German O. Gref, said Russia would not cancel the deals, but he criticized cost overruns at the Shell project. Still, any revision of terms on the projects could have far-reaching consequences by positioning Russian state companies, rather than Western oil producers, as the beneficiaries of the strong energy market in the Pacific Rim.
"Times have changed in Russia," Oleg V. Mitvol, deputy director of Rosprirodnadzor, the agency that revoked Shell's license, said at a news conference here. "We want international investment, but we don't want to be made into a banana republic."

A year ago, I wrote an article for Search Engine Watch entitled, "It's 'Horses for Courses' at SES London." In the article, I said business professionals may want to bring a team to Search Engine Strategies London – because there will be three concurrent conference tracks and no business professional will be able to attend all of the sessions.
Well, it's a year later and I'd make the same case – even in a recession. In fact, if you need to grow your business online now more than ever, then the smart move will be to bring a team of three people to SES London 2009.
To some extent, this is a case of "In for a penny, in for a pound." If something is worth doing, then you might as well go the whole nine yards.
But it also turns out that it has economic benefits. If you read the rates and registration details closely, you'll see that there are Special Group Discounts. (First two conference registrants pay full price, the third person from the same organization, registering at the same time qualifies for 50% off their registration fee.)
And sending a team of three people will enable you to take advantage of the fact that the SEM conference includes advanced sessions, intermediate sessions, and beginner sessions. And this will enable your organization to put different "horses" on different "courses."
For example, someone entering the SEM steeplechase for the first time will race through the the Fundamentals Track on Wednesday, Feb. 18, as well as the Beyond Fundamentals Track on Thursday, Feb. 19.
Meanwhile, someone who's been around the SEO racecourse a few times will gallop through the Organic Track on Tuesday, and the Issues and Tactics Track on Thursday.
To extend the metaphor, someone who already knows how to harness PPC will be trotting through the Advertising Track on Wednesday, as well as the Improve Me Track on Thursday.
How can I be so sure? Well, I've been speaking at Search Engine Strategies London each and every year since 2005. And when I wasn't speaking, I was sitting in on sessions to report on the conference for Search Engine Watch.
If you've never been to SES London before and want to get an idea of what you'll see and hear, you can take a look at the descriptions below of half a dozen out of more than 40 sessions — as well as some video interviews with six the more than 60 conference speakers.
Let's start with a couple of the advanced sessions first.
Search Advertising Tools: In order to get a leg up on the competition, successful Search Engine Marketers need to be armed with the latest tools of the trade. This session will explore a range of popular search engine advertising tools along with some important features you should be aware of. One of the speakers on the panel of experts will be Thomas Bindl, Founder & CEO, Refined Labs GmbH.
Byron Gordon of SEO-PR interviewed Thomas about the evolution of search ad tools during SES Chicago 2008. Thomas mentioned the best paid and free search ad tools on the net and provided a preview of SES London 2009.
Thomas Bindl, Refined Labs, on search ad tools and SES London 2009
Ads in a Quality Score World: More and more, ranking well in paid search listings is less about how much you pay and more about the "quality" of your ad campaign. But what goes into making up your quality score? One of the speakers on this panel will be Andrew Goodman, Principal, Page Zero Media.
As SES Chicago 2008, I interviewed Andrew about the updates he made to his book, "Winning Results with Google Adwords." His book take a closer look at quality factors and gives tips on increasing the perceived relevancy of your campaign.

Next, let's take a look at a couple of the intermediate sessions:
Search Resources: Building a Better Economic Model: In today's uncertain economic times, businesses need certainty around their marketing and sales initiatives. Measurable, quantifiable strategies which have a defined ROI will win, as managers will only invest in activities they can measure. One of the speakers on this panel will be Bryan Eisenberg, Co-Founder, Future Now, Inc.
Mitch Joel of Twist Image and Six Pixels of Separation interviewed Bryan at SES Toronto 2008. Bryan was the talked about his keynote presentation as well as his new book, "Always Be Testing: The Complete Guide to Google Website Optimizer."
Bryan Eisenberg on Site Metrics and Optimization
SEO Through Blogs & Feeds: Not yet running a blog? Not syndicating your content through web feeds? Then you're missing out on an important area that can help your overall SEO efforts. One of the speakers on this panel is Jennifer Evans Laycock, Editor-in-Chief, Search Engine Guide.
At SES San Jose, 2008, Andrew Goodman interviewed Jennifer about the best tips on viral campaigns and social media marketing, especially for small business who want to make the most of their business online without spending too much money.

Finally, let's take a look at a couple of the beginner sessions:
Search Engine Friendly Design: How can you build a website from the ground up that pleases both crawler-based search engines and your visitors? Discover how "search engine-friendly" design can tap into free traffic from search engines. One of the speakers at this session is Matt Bailey, President, SiteLogic.
As SES Chicago, Chris Boggs of Rosetta interviewed Matt about difference between Analytics 1.0 and Analytics 2.0. Matt said Analytics 1.0 is the endless reporting of numbers with no analysis of the data, while Analytics 2.0 digs into the "why and how" to better understand what the data means.
Matthew Bailey, SiteLogic on 1.0 and 2.0 Analytics at SES Chicago
Search Advertising 101: Paid placement is a form of search advertising that provides a top ranking in return for payment. Every major search engine offers a paid placement program. The moderator of this session, which is especially geared toward beginners, will be Andy Atkins-KrÃŒger, Managing Director, WebCertain Europe Ltd.
Byron Gordon interviewed Andyat SES Chicago 2008 about that show as well as his expectations for SES London 2009. Andy also talked about the state of search in Europe for 2009.
Andy Atkins-Kruger, WebCertain, discusses SES Chicago and SES London 2009
In other words, there are courses for horses at SES London 2009. That's what makes it the definitive event for UK and European marketers, corporate decision makers, webmasters and search engine marketing (SEM) specialists, including pay per click (PPC) advertisers and search engine optimization (SEO) consultants.

Facial hair can come in all shapes and sizes, but this facial hair font takes it to a completely new level. The Beard Face font by Michael Allen takes all the scruff and turns it into a viable font.
Facial hair is so varied that it seems every person you see with a bit of scruff is rocking something different. The Beard Face font chopped up the face fuzz in a multitude of different ways to get every letter and even some punctuation accounted for.
Many of the facial hair styles aren't particularly viable styles and were cut for the purposes of filling out the letters, but many of them are real styles that you can see on people every day. So if you're ever looking for a cool new font nobody has used yet, try out a facial hair font like Beard Face.

The '80s began, appropriately enough, with a toy that not only spanned generations in its popularity, it wasted countless hours of people's lives pointlessly – setting the stage for 30 years (and counting) of avoiding human contact via the latest hot gadget.
Invented in Hungary in 1974, the Rubik's Cube was licensed by the Ideal Toy Corp. and introduced to the U.S. in 1980. It consisted of multi-colored, interlocking cubes that combined to make one large cube. The goal was to get all six sides of the cube the same color.
It wasn't long, though, before a combination of frustration and boredom resulted in kids taking apart their cubes, rearranging them in the correct order, and claiming they had solved the puzzle.
Amazingly enough, the Rubik's Cube continues to sell today in a variety of forms, from keychains to a computer version that analyzes move sequences and records player metrics. Because when it comes to finding new ways to waste time, people are freaking ingenious.
The '80s had lots of catch phrases: "I pity the fool." "Say hello to my little friend." "Go ahead … make my day." But nothing was as pervasive and annoying as "Where's the Beef?"
It began as a commercial for Wendy's hamburgers – a trio of elderly women examine the large bun of an unnamed competitor's hamburger before one of them crankily barks, "Where's the beef?" Before you could shout "Grandma's off her meds again," the phrase had been plastered to T-shirts, bumper stickers and dirty cartoons that elicited snickers in middle school study halls.
In 1984, presidential candidate Walter Mondale even used the catch-phrase while campaigning. Mondale lost the election in the biggest landslide in U.S. history, so clearly, Americans decided that they certainly had a beef with him.
In the '60s, people grew their hair long. In the '70s, it was long and feathered. So maybe it was just the natural evolution of things that resulted in people running around in the '80s looking like Phyllis Diller in an electrical storm. The hair not only grew longer on both men and women, it grew up – as in, a foot or more toward the sky.
All this poofery had to be kept in place by something, so the sale of cheap hair spray like Aqua Net went through the roof. (Perhaps not coincidentally, the first reports of holes in the ozone layer began coming out during this time.) There were numerous variations on the style – the bow head, the claw, the mullet – but they all had one thing in common, and that one thing was BIG.
There are conflicting reports about how bling – obscene amounts of shiny, gawdy jewelry worn by one person – got started. Some blame Mr. T. Others blame hip hop culture. But given the celebration of excess that defined the '80s, it's probably safe to say that it was simply another example of taking things to the extreme. As in: Why wear one gold-plated Mercedes hood ornament around my neck when I can wear 47?
Of course, not many people could afford real gold jewelry, so they opted for the $14.99 version offered in the jewelry department of Kmart. They looked pretty snazzy too – until the cheap metal coating wore off and your neck started to turn green. Unfortunately, the zombie look wouldn't be hot for another two decades.
You can't blame keyboard players for wanting to take the spotlight now and then. They're usually relegated to the background, stuck somewhere between the drums and the background singers, while the lead vocalist and guitarist work the crowd and get all the attention. But the keytar – just like it sounds – looked almost as dumb as bodiless guitars, which were also all the rage in the '80s.
And no, it didn't make keyboard players look cool. Imagine being backstage at a rock concert in 1985. A groupie comes up and asks, "What do you play?" And you say, "The keytar!" Yeah, good luck keeping her away from the guy with the Flying V and a codpiece.
Remember Saturday mornings as a kid? It was the best time of the week – no school, no homework, no chores. Just you, a bowl of Fruity Pebbles and the television. You could look forward to hours of mindless immersion in an orgy of cartoon nirvana.
That all changed in the '80s. Suddenly, it wasn't good enough for He-Man to give Skeletor a good beat-down. He had to explain not only why Skeletor deserved the beat-down, but the psychological underpinnings behind the actions that resulted in the beat-down and a lesson on how you, at age 7, could avoid a similar beat-down.
Every character, from Lion-O the ThunderCat to Papa Smurf, had some words of wisdom to impart. Oddly enough, they never mentioned how to keep the bad guys from breaking out of jail – probably because they were too busy jabbering about some life lesson instead of keeping an eye on their prisoners.

USDA Urged to Investigate Unlicensed "Bull Running" Events
Cruel spectacle may be in violation of Animal Welfare Act
In a letter to the USDA, animal advocates call on authorities to investigate whether two companies behind "running of the bulls" events held in the U.S. are properly licensed. The events – the next of which will take place in Petersburg, Va. in August – are modeled after a festival in Pamplona, Spain, where up to a dozen 1,500-pound bulls are forced to stampede down a fenced-in track as participants attempt to outrun them. Participants are often hit or run over by the bulls, suffering injuries that can require hospital treatment, while the animals themselves are subject to fear and great distress.
"These events are a shameful example of cruelty for the sake of nothing more than entertainment and profit," said Ann Chynoweth, senior director of The Humane Society of the United States' End Animal Cruelty and Fighting campaign. "These companies put the health and safety of both humans and animals at risk, without the required federal oversight. We call on the USDA to investigate these entities immediately."
As The HSUS letter explains, events such as these, which exhibit animals for entertainment and compensation, must be licensed by the USDA pursuant to the federal Animal Welfare Act. The failure to possess this license deprives USDA of the opportunity to oversee the events, and to ensure the safety of both the animals and the public. The letter also notes that, given the inherently dangerous nature of running with bulls, it is highly unlikely that these events could ever comply with the animal welfare and human safety requirements of the Animal Welfare Act and its regulations, and therefore are probably prohibited in their current formulation.
"Running of the bulls" events have been held intermittently in the U.S. since 1997, with the last one in 2012. This year, a company is planning events in several cities.

Alaska; the 49th state; the last frontier; the frozen tundra; the land of the midnight sun, whatever you call it, Alaska is without doubt an amazing place.
The Alaskan coastline is filled with adventures! In fact there is so much to do and see along the Alaskan coast that this is all most visitors to the state will ever see. Cruising the coast of Alaska seems to be one of the more popular methods of exploring this frozen wonder. By booking a one or two week cruise, vacationers are able to visit the most popular spots along the Alaskan coast without having to pack everyday.
Driving the Alaska coastline may take more time than cruising, but it offers travelers a chance to experience more Alaskan adventures. Hiking a glacier, whale watching, canoeing into Glacier Bay, whatever the day has in store, visitors to Alaska are sure to have an unforgettable experience.
Fishing in Alaska is top priority for many visitors. Some choose to cast their line along the Alaskan coastline, while others would rather fish a lake or river in the deep Alaskan interior. Either way, the fish are always biting in Alaska and you will never have to tell the tale of the "big one that got away." From King Salmon to Halibut the fish in Alaska are enormous! There have been stories of Alaskan Halibut being as large as a barn door! And they have pictures to back up their claims.
Fish aren't the only thing big in Alaska. The state itself is 586,000 square miles and is home to the largest mountain in North America. The 20,320-foot tall Mt. McKinley is part of the Denali National Park, which is located in the Alaskan interior. While visitors to Alaska's coast will see walrus, sea lion and whale; those traveling the Alaskan interior will spot caribou, grizzly bear and moose. With more than 300 million acres to explore the Alaskan interior is a perfect vacation for the more adventurous. Sections of this Alaskan region can still be reached only by float plane or train.

Many Sunday school children in North America believe Jesus resembles the famous painting known as Head of Christ by Warner Sallman. In the painting, Jesus is tall with light skin, brown eyes and long, flowing hair. However, according to the Christmas song, "Some Children See Him," children from other races believe Jesus looks like them.
The Head of Christ painting depicts Jesus as a tall man with chiseled features and a nicely trimmed beard. His hair is long and He has piercing, brown eyes. His face is radiant and has a soft glow. His overall appearance speaks of compassion, holiness and reverence.
In American churches, Jesus looks very American. Hollywood productions depict Jesus as a tall man who stands out from the crowd. However, children from other cultures think Jesus resembles people from their own race or culture. In British movies, Jesus sounds British. Jesus looks different to Brazilian children, Filipino children and Norwegian children.
Though Sunday schools teach children that Jesus was a descendant of Abraham, and therefore Jewish, the song "Some Children See Him" reveals that children from the different cultures picture Jesus differently. Some see him as white, while others picture him as brown, dark or almond-eyed. Children from different cultures believe Jesus' face resembles theirs but is bright with holy light and heavenly grace.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece's economy will have contracted by 25 percent by the time the recession ends, the finance minister said Tuesday, as the government remained locked in talks with rescue lenders for its next major austerity program.
Yannis Stournaras made the remarks at a Greek-Chinese business forum, before senior officials from his ministry resumed negotiations with inspectors from the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund, known as the "troika."
"The cumulative reduction (of gross domestic product) since 2008 is just under 20 percent and is expected to reach 25 percent by 2014," Stournaras said.
Unpaid government bills and other debts to the private sector have reached €6.5 billion ($8.51 billion), he said.
The troika is demanding the government reduce its budget deficit by more than €11.5 billion ($15.1 billion) over two years as a condition for continued emergency loan payments.
Earlier Tuesday, Greece raised €1.3 billion ($1.7 billion) in a treasury bill auction, with the rate for the 13-week loans easing slightly to 4.31 percent.
The government's Public Debt Management Agency said the sale of €1 billion in debt was oversubscribed 1.98 times, and the additional €300 million was raised in non-competitive bids.
The interest rate eased from 4.43 percent set at a T-Bill auction last month.

Cutler says he never texted Burress
By David Haugh
About that text message Jay Cutler sent to Plaxico Burress last April to lobby the wide receiver to come to the Bears...
Turns out no such message was ever sent, the Bears clarified Wednesday after the NFL urban legend started popping up again in news reports after Cutler was asked about Burress following the team's final off-season practice.
The tale started back in April during the Final Four in Detroit when Bears sideline reporter Zach Zaidman, on assignment for WSCR-AM, ran into Burress, a Michigan State alum and Burress claimed he had received a text from Cutler. According to Burress, the text said Cutler told the wide receiver that the Bears, "could use him in Chicago." Burress said he replied that he liked the deep dish pizza in Chicago, according to the report.
On Wednesday after the story of that exchange started making the rounds again in the Chicago media, Cutler informed Bears officials he never sent Burress a text message and, in fact, didn't know Burress at all.

Matthias Jauernig has begun a series of articles at http://www.minddriven.de/?p=608 that compares and contrasts TDD and DbC in an effort to help us identify how to use both methods together. If you are interested in this topic, I highly recommend it. It methodically examines some relationships between these two practices.
Here are some of my thoughts on the synergy:
Rythm of my development cycle
I use both TDD and DbC liberally. I use TDD to start the process and drive the design. With TDD we start with Red (failed test). I add contracts during the implementation until we reach Green (test passes) and I add contracts again during refactoring if appropriate.
Postconditions resemble Test Assertions
and vice-versa
I examine test assertions as inspiration for identifying missing postconditions. This is a useful advantage of using both TDD and DbC together. Automated tests can be much more versatile than contracts. By this I mean there will be times when a test easily expresses what the final result is, but no reasonable postcondition could be written for the general case.
Contracts can be ON at all times
Contract runtime verification may be configured to be on in various environments. When enabled, contracts perform their verification role in every case a feature is called, not just during the execution of a specific automated test case, but during EVERY execution of a feature, whether it is automated or manual or even usage in production.
So, borrowing Matthias' language, the test case gives examples of proper usage. But the contracts catch accidental cases of improper usage.
In part 2 of his series, Matthias refers to the "locational gap" in which he writes
"If developers want to show how a component behaves they have to cross the gap and investigate the tests."
As he says, developers unfamiliar with automated tests may not take full advantage of what they can teach. I have actually been in shops in the past where other developers ignored the automated tests and let them fail. Yes, I know that indicates a serious lack of accountability, training, or something. But it happens. In contrast, contracts are very hard to ignore. When violated, they make your program fail in spectacular ways that make it hard to claim "the software works for me".
I'm not arguing against holding people accountable for some discipline around builds and testing. I am just saying that contracts help encourage good behavior.
Topics not yet covered
There is more to be discovered about TDD with DbC. And that's not all! How will the test case generator, Pex alter the balance. My colleague Jason Bock is a big fan of Pex. Martin Angler just wrote an article on this. I am very excited to read it. When I get some free time <laughing> I hope to learn more about Pex and look for effective ways to incorporate it into my practice as well. But not tonight. Time to sleep.

Gross and Somewhat Entertaining
It was a little cheesy for a kid movie but I ultimately thought it was okay. I did enjoy the worm-eating scenes because the worms looked so real. It made me wonder how the film crew made the worms. There was also a nice evolution regarding the characters' personalities and values even though it was somewhat flimsy. I don't think the kids will care about character development because the gross scenes will pretty much overshadow this film's lack of depth. I guess I was looking for another "mature" kid film like "Bridge to Terabithia" or "The Last Mimzy." Still, the kids are cute and they made me wish I had another sibling to take care of. If you have a little brother or sister or cousin that needs babysitting, sit them down in front of this fim. It will definitely grab their attention.
