Destination Guide
But while ancient palaces, monuments, temples, and other remnants of the past represent a major component of the travel experience of India, this land of one-sixth of the world's population offers "sybaritic" pleasures as well; palm-fringed beaches line Goa, mountains and hills project the divine beauty of the snowcapped Himalayas, and babbling streams, lakes, pine forests, and tropical jungles provide an outdoor playground for both wildlife animals and tourists alike.[2]
Geographically, India is shaped like an upside-down pear with its tapered end dipping into the Indian Ocean. Its landscape is as rich as its history and culture. This country holds ancient traditions that date back 50 centuries. For just as long, India has been the bridge between the western values of Europe and the ideals and philosophies of Asia. Today, India is the world's largest democracy.[3] It is the home of more than 1.1 billion[4] people who live in the world's seventh largest country.[5]
Ancient Monuments
India is most famous for its ancient temples, palaces, and monuments. The most famous is the Taj Mahal in Agra. The Taj Mahal is the world's best example of Mughal architecture and is not only the "jewel of Muslim art", but considered one of the seven modern wonders of the world. It is a mausoleum with an iconic white domed marble. The temple was commissioned by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who was griefstricken by the death of his third wife and was inspired out of love to commission the Taj as a mausoleum. It was completed in 1648 after 17 years of construction.[6]
Other famous monuments and sites include the extravagant Amber Palace nestled between a rocky mountain gorge and a lovely lake near Jaipur;[7] the Jama Masjid in New Delhi, which is the largest mosque in India;[8] the Qutub Minar in South Delhi, the tallest brick minaret in the world standing 238 feet high;[9] the Lingaraja Temple in Bhubaneswar, which is a Hindu pilgrimage center with lavishly decorated sculptures more than 1000 years old;[10] the Black Pagoda in Konarak, which is the most beautiful temple in India, dedicated to the Hindu god Surya;[11] and the prehistoric rock-cut cave temples of Ajanta and Ellora, which both feature 2,000 year old religious paintings depicting tales of Hindu and Buddhist significance.[12]
There are also several more famous temples that can be found in the state of Orissa. In Calcutta, colonial buildings can be found in Chowringhee. Chennai (or Madras) has several tall buildings and old Christian churches.[13]
India has more than 70 national parks, 400 wildlife sanctuaries, and 25 tiger reserves.[14] Wildlife include Bengal tigers, Asian elephants, Asiatic lions, Indian rhinoceros, white-rumped vultures, water buffalos, striped hyenas, macaques, leopards, red pandas, black bears, rare dung beetles, and purple frogs.[15] The best parks and reserves for viewing are the Sundarban National Park in West Bengal and the Bharatpur National Park in Rajasthan.[16]
India has some resort-lined beaches. The finest beaches are in Goa and the luxury resort of Aguada. The second largest beach in the world is found in Chennai with the Marina beach. Kovalam also has a famous beach. In Mumbai, Chowpatti and Juhu draw the most visitors.[17]
India, of course, offers great opportunities for mountaineering and trekking. Trek the Kullu Valley from the base of Himachal, the Uttar Pradesh from the base of Kumaon, or the Tamil Nadu from the base of Kodaikanal. The mountains of Sikkim have the best mountain climbing in India, highlighted by the 28,169 feet Kanchenjunga – the third highest mountain in the world.[18]
There are ski resorts in India. The Gulmarg is the most famous one; it is complete with modern gondolas. In the summer, Gulmarg treats golfers with the unique experience of the highest golfing in the world.[19]
The best scuba diving and snorkeling is around the Bay of Bengal in the Andaman Islands. This archipelago is lushly forested with exotic plants and diverse tropical fish and corals.[20]
Romantic lakes in India include Lake Dal, where houseboats line the shorefronts and visitors are treated to a scenery of flower-spangled meadows and icy mountain peaks that has been described as "paradise on earth". The romantic Udaipur is centered around Lake Pichola and its famous hotel, Lake Palace. The city has been hailed as the "Venice of the East".[21]
To view the country's jungles and forests, visitors can take the "Toy Train" from Calcutta. The train travels through the jungles and forests, reaching Darjeeling. Along the way, passengers can enjoy spectacular views of the Kanchenjunga mountains where Sherpa Tenzing died.[22]
To experience India's desert, Pushkar holds a November Camel Fair while Jaisalmer in Rajasthan hosts a Desert Festival in January.[23]
India's north is dominated by the world's greatest mountain range, the Himalayas, which flaunts more than 145 peaks – about 40 of them rise higher than 25,000 feet! The Himalayas feature snowy plateaus near Tibet, as well as lush tropical jungles[24] set in the foothills. Three great rivers traverse the north: the Ganges, Indus, and Brahmaputra. The Ganges is considered the holiest of the Indian rivers, with its fertile Gangetic Plains supporting a large population.
The extreme northeast is the frontier between India, China, and Myanmar. This is a region comprised of the Naga, Lushai, and Chin Hills, where thick and impenetrable jungles are inhabited by tribal peoples who have long been isolated from the rest of India.[25]
In the interior, India consists of the Vindhya Mountains, which pose as a barrier between the north and south, cutting off one from the other. Even today, the north is culturally distinct from the south.
India's south consists of two mountain ranges, the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats,[26] both of which meet in the Nilgiri Hills. The three great rivers running through the south include Godavari, Cauvery (Kaveri), and the Kistna (Krishna); all of them vary in volume depending on the season.
The climate in India varies depending on the region. In the north, winters are mild thanks to the tempering effect of the Himalayan katabatic winds, which also make the summer as hot as the rest of the India despite the higher latitude. Central India is very tropical year-round.[27]
During the summer months, most parts of India average temperatures of 40ºC (104º F). The coasts, however, are slightly cooler at around 30ºC (86º F) but have higher levels of humidity. The Thar desert region in the west is hotter, averaging summer temperatures of over 45ºC (113º F).[28]
In the winter, India's southwest is hit by monsoon rains thanks to low-pressure systems created by the Thar Desert. The monsoon progresses north and eastwards, reaching the northern and eastern regions in the early summer months. Winter temperatures in India range from mild in the north to warm in the south. Some parts of the Indian plains experience freezing temperatures that are as low as -45ºC (-49º F).[29]
The first known civilization in India dates back to 2500 BC along the Indus River. Around 1500 BC, Indo-Aryans migrated to India and conquered various parts of northern India.[30] They developed Hindu religious beliefs and instituted the caste system. Around 600 BC, the religions of Buddhism and Jainism were born. Shortly afterwards, India was invaded by the Persians. The Persians were followed by the Greeks led by Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC.
The first great Indian empire was the Maurya Empire around 325 BC. The empire revolved around Buddhism. Several cave temples and shrines were built.
India's golden age lasted from 300 to 500 AD during the Gupta Empire. Science, literature, arts, and wealth defined this period. Hinduism became the entrenched religion of India during this era.[31]
After the Gupta Empire collapsed, numerous small kingdoms sprang up. They fought each other until India was invaded by the Arabs and Turks. In 1206, the Turks established a kingdom in Delhi. Muslim rulers reigned over large parts of northern India.
In 1526, the Mughals from central Asia migrated and built a great empire based out of Agra and Delhi. The Mughal Empire flourished until the early 18th century. During this period, European powers such as the Portuguese, Dutch, English, and French all set up trading stations in India.[32]
After the collapse of the Mughal Empire, the British emerged as the colonial power in India. For the next century, the country was patrolled and governed by the British. Armed revolts were repeatedly crushed. Indian nationalism grew as a result of British rule. In the 1920s and 1930s, Mohammed Ali Jinnah led a nationalistic movement that called for a separate sovereign state made up of Muslims. Simultaneously, Mahatma Gandhi led an independence movement that called for nonviolent campaigns against the British. Gandhi's strategy paid off. Britain withdrew in 1947 and established two independent countries, India and Pakistan, with the latter comprised of the Muslim majority Jinnah called for.[33]
Since independence, India has had mixed success attempting to modernize. Despite a political democracy, the country lacks efficient infrastructures. The 1980s saw India grow economically at a steady rate, but growth stalled in the 1990s when the nation was hit with extreme unemployment. The gap between the rich and poor in India continues to widen and is one of the major problems facing this nation today.

It's fun to hunt for t-shirts with a known connection to some element of history or pop culture. It's more fun, turns out, to find the t-shirt first and the connection months later. Stumbling through Youtube last week, I got to have that experience for the first time.
I like to have music on while packing boxes. Last week I settled, eventually, on a Blink 182 live set from 2000, filmed at Daytona Beach during Spring Break. Enema of the State is a consummate pop-punk album; it makes up much of the performances
Tom Delonge, turns out, was insufferable even then. And 2000, peak cargo shorts, was a long time ago style-wise. But the band sounds pretty good, and they played "Dammit," and it's fun to see that Mark is wearing a skin tight heathered ringer t-shirt.
T-shirt looked a bit familiar: A small image of the national capitol with "Washington DC" written above it. My t-shirt bins are right behind my workstation, so I dug around a little and, lo and behold, pulled out the same damn one.
This kind of moment rarely happens. Most t-shirts linked to rock stars are in such demand that finding one is near impossible. Originals cost hundreds. But Mark Hoppus isn't Bob Dylan, and this wasn't a legendary performance. There's a good chance I'm the first person to have paid attention and identified the t-shirt here.
It's a late or mid-eighties Screen Stars ringer. 50-50 cotton-poly blend, white tag, and with a small printed graphic on the chest. A vintage t-shirt to be sure, unlike, say, anything from Hurley.
Because we try not to hoard things here, I shipped this out to known Blink 182 fan last week. The moral of the story here, I guess, is to pay attention to my Instagram account and tell me what you like.

Updated Moat SDK and Addition of IAS SDK
Viewability measurement is vital to both desktop and mobile ad inventory. Last year, we added Moat viewability measurement to Intowow SDK to assist publishers in verifying their valuable inventory for advertisers. The latest release of Intowow SDK (10/20/2017) is a Moat SDK update that improves performance. In addition to the Moat update,, Integral Ad Science (IAS) verification is now available with Intowow SDK. To enable the latest IAS and/or Moat measurement updates, our partner publishers only need to upgrade their Intowow SDK – no additional work required.
AdMob Custom Events Now Get Support of Native Advanced
AdMob- and MoPub-integrated publishers are now able to access the Intowow branding video marketplace through the integration of AdMob and MoPub custom events into Intowow SDK. We currently support AdMob banners and rewarded video, as well as MoPub banners and native video formats. Today we're glad to introduce updated AdMob custom events to support AdMob's Native Ads Advanced format. Both Android and iOS versions support Native Ads Advanced display, but only Android supports Native Ads Advanced video at the moment.

I recently came across this headline at SI.com "Defunct Teams Should Get In on Expansion Celebration". In it Allan Muir writes that while the Pittsburgh Penguins, St. Louis Blues, Philadelphia Flyers and L.A. Kings have special logos and plans to commemorate their 50 years (Where has the time gone?) in the N.H.L., the other two teams that started but did not make it should be recalled as well.
We agree.
The Minnesota North Stars and Oakland Seals played important roles – they should not be forgotten.
For that matter, however, we hope others are not forgotten next year either. After all in addition to it being 50 years since the "Second Six" started play, it is also the 100th anniversary of the founding of the National Hockey League.
We suppose that we will be hearing a lot about the "Original Six" (in addition to the "Second Six"), but there are other teams would like remembered a celebrated.
First coming to mind are a some pre-War (World War II) teams that mattered: New York Americans, Montreal Maroons and the original Ottawa Sernators. There is much history in those teams, though they did not last that long. There are also Hamilton Tigers and Quebec Bulldogs who were impactful and mattered to earlier fans. Then there are teams that were in the NHL only for a blink of an eye – the likes of the St. Louis Eagles, The Philadelphia Pirates and Philadelphia Quakers.
And, in the "modern era" (post-1967), in addition to the Seals (California Golden Seals) and North Stars, there are also the Nordiques, Kansas City Scouts, Colorado Rockies, Cleveland Barons, Atlanta Flames and Atlanta Thrashers. The are part of hockey history too.
So, bring on the celebration. Along with Lord Stanley, Bobby Clarke, Glenn Hall, Mario Lemieux and Jack Kent Cooke,may well also be able to toast the Amerks, Sens, Tigers and more.

Addilyn had her preschool end of the year spring program the first week in June. I cannot believe how much she has learned. She loves schoool so much that we registered her for summer school so that she can continue to learn. She brings such joy to my life and I enjoy watching her grow and become interest in many things. She loves to stay busy with Dance, Swimming lessons, School, and the waterpark.

After a week that included reports or poor TV viewership numbers
and the subpar handling of the alleged domestic violence reports
on kicker Josh Brown, Kevin Draper of deadspin.com reported that
DFS giants DraftKings and Fanduel are purging money, and are months
behind on payments to vendors.
According to Draper, the two companies are in talks with New
York state attorney general Eric T. Schneiderman to reach a settlement
between $8 mil & $10 mil to pay for complaints of false advertising.
Per Draper, "More intriguing than this relatively small
settlement, however, is the reporting that the two companies have
asked to pay it in installments, and are facing massive financial
One of the interesting complaints filed in the false advertising
claim is that the two companies promoted their services as an
easy way to win money playing fantasy sports, when in reality
"the vast majority of players—approaching 90 percent
in 2013–14 on DraftKings, for instance—lost money."
As a proponent of cash games, these numbers do not surprise me,
as I have been writing for well over a year now that playing in
large tournaments with astronomical odds against you is relative
to throwing your money out the window.
While GPPs meet the risk tolerance of some, and the rush of the
possibly turning $20 into $1 million is too intoxicating for others
to avoid, I bring up this report as a solemn reminder to think
of the odds of winning when entering DFS games each weak.
Sure, part of that estimated 90% encompasses cash game losers,
but no doubt the majority of the losers each day are those poor
fools seduced by the riches of large GPP's, only to be disappointed
when the games end on Monday.
I recommend sticking to cash games and small multipliers where
you are going against one person or a small group of people. It
may not result in a big payday, but you will have more fun and
you can slowly build your bankroll.
The following winning cash game roster was utilized in a head-to-head
matchup on DraftKings.
Quarterback: Andy
DraftKings Points: 23.32
Grade: A-
In my Week 7 preview, I wrote about the cash game value of Andy
Dalton and how the Red Rocket has been one of the most consistent
fantasy quarterbacks over the past two seasons.
After a slow start, Dalton led the Bengals to victory over the
Browns with 308 passing yards and two touchdowns, including a
stat-padding Hail Mary TD pass to A.J. Green to close out the
first half.
The stack of Dalton to Green proved to be lucrative for this
ticket, as the two players combined for 37% of my 153.52 points
for the day.
Dalton was not the top options for the week, as Brees, Luck,
Rodgers, Taylor, Cousins, and Winston all scored more that the
Bengals signal caller. But he did give me exactly what I expected,
and that is worth its weight in gold for cash games.
Running Backs: Melvin
Gordon, Mike
DraftKings Points: 38.1
Grade: B
Hitting on the number one running back of the week in Gordon,
and his 121/3 line against the Falcons, helped ease the pain of
falling victim to the hype of Mike Gillislee against the Dolphins.
Gordon was my cash game play of the week on my preview, so his
solid game against Atlanta was a nice result as an owner and writer.
Gillislee and his 20 rushing yards against his old team was not
what I was expecting, as I anticipated a blowout game for Buffalo
and numerous second half carries for Gillislee. The conflicting
reports on the health of starter LeSean McCoy gave me some concern
on whether or not Gillislee would get enough carries, but his
$3000 salary was hard to replace after building my lineup.
My goal in cash games is to have at least one high floor running
back and two high floor wide receivers, with a few boom or bust
supporting players to round out the card. Unfortunately for me,
this boom or bust player went bust.
Wide Receivers: A.J.
Green, Julio
Jones, Pierre
DraftKings Points: 67.5
Grade: B+
A majority of my budget this week was allocated to wide receivers
A.J. Green and Julio Jones, with the goal of having the wide receiver
with the projected highest floor in Jones and a nice compliment
play for a cash stack in Green.
Green connected with Dalton for 169 yards and a score, while
Jones scored nearly 30 points on his 174-yard day against the
Chargers. When you spend $17,800 on two wide receivers, you need
them to come through or your cash roster will likely underperform.
Luckily for me both players exceeded their 25 point expectation,
while making up for my blunder of choosing Pierre Garcon against
the Lions.
In my defense, Garcon did receive 18 targets in his previous
two games with Jordan Reed out of the lineup, including 11 targets
Week 6 at home against the Eagles. The Week 7 matchup against
the Lions seemed like a nice opportunity to continue his recent
trend of usage, as the Lions were one of the worst teams against
the pass entering the game.
My assumption of usage was correct, however, it went to another
possession receiver on the Redskins in Jamison Crowder, and not
Tight End: Hunter
DraftKings Points: 2.6
Grade: F
It appears as though I rode the Hunter Henry train one too many
times, as the rookie from Arkansas came crashing down with one
reception for 16 yards on just three targets.
Henry nearly saved his game on an out and up wheel route for
a touchdown in the second half, but failed to get both feet in
bounds. Philip Rivers went back to his old reliable Antonio Gates
this game, leaving Henry fantasy owners out to dry.
Although he is one of my favorite new young players, and someone
whom I will targets in season long leagues next year, Henry will
not be on any of my cash game tickets unless Gates gets hurt again.
Flex: Devonta
DraftKings Points: 15.0
Grade: B-
The emergence of Tevin Coleman and the subsequent lackluster
performance by Devonta Freeman to start the year reduced Freeman's
salary $1,000 from Week 1 to Week 7. Betting on the fact that
the game would be high scoring, that discount seemed like a nice
payoff for DFS owners, as the Chargers were the 5th worst against
opposing defenses.
Freeman struggled to start the game, but managed to deliver 100
total yards on 20 touches for 15 fantasy points. Not exactly what
I was expecting, but 15 points from your flex play is respectable
in cash games.
Defense: Bengals
DraftKings Points: 7
Grade: C
Seven points from your defense isn't the end of the world,
but it is a disappointment when that defense is playing against
the Browns at home. Two sacks and two turnovers made up for the
fact that the Bengals gave up 17 points to two rookie quarterbacks.
Credit Hue Jackson for thinking outside the box and utilizing
rookie QB Kevin Hogan in the running game out of the backfield.
The Bengals clearly were not ready for that play, and the Browns
capitalized on two touchdowns from the speedy QB.

Japan lead last-four charge - London 2012 - Football
Japan remain on course to add Olympic Games gold to last year's World Cup triumph after clinically seeing off Brazil in the quarter-final of the women's Football competition, while the USA, France and Canada are also through to the last four.
Japan had to overcome an early scare before sealing their progress 2-0 at the Millennium Stadium.
The Samba Queens desperately sought an equaliser after the interval but were caught out by a rapid counter-attack which allowed Shinobu Ohno to seal Japan's win and set up a semi-final meeting with France.
The French progressed in their first-ever appearance in the Olympic women's Football tournament with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Sweden at Hampden Park.
Nilla Fischer had given the Swedes the lead after 17 minutes as Marie Hammarstrom's corner deflected fortuitously off her shoulder into the corner of the net, but France were level 11 minutes later when Laura Georges headed home at the back post from another corner.
France claimed the lead thanks to a Wendie Renard goal seven minutes before half-time, but Bruno Bini's side were grateful to goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi as she produced a brilliant one-handed save from Fischer to ensure the game did not go to extra-time.
Abby Wambach's fourth goal of the tournament helped to fire the USA into the last four as New Zealand's hopes were dashed by a 2-0 scoreline.
The 32-year-old striker turned home Alex Morgan's 27th-minute cross to give her side the advantage in a game the USA controlled but failed to put beyond doubt until substitute Sydney Leroux made sure close to the end.
Last year's beaten World Cup finalists won with something to spare and will head into their semi-final at Old Trafford on Monday with hopes of a third successive gold medal very much intact.
The same can not be said for Host Nation Great Britain, however, after they were sent out of the competition 2-0 at the hands of Canada.
Jonelle Filigno and Christine Sinclair got the first-half goals to send the Canadians into the semi-finals, but in truth it should have been more.

Nightmare Scenario
There has been a lot of hype and vitriol surrounding Iran and its nuclear aims. Clearly most of it is actually coming from Iran, but the western press is taking the bait for some unknown and unwise reason. There have been columns and cable-news talk shows dedicated to "What we have to do about Iran" ; at first they trotted out "Experts" (usually ex-CIA, ex-State Department or officials from former administrations – most of whom are responsible for Iran becoming what it is today) who extolled their wisdoms upon the viewers. It was actually sad to watch Admiral Stansfield Turner criticize the Bush administration over the way it's handling Iran. It was Turner's CIA that failed to see the coming Iranian revolution and head it off. That lead to the fall of the Shah and the rise of Shiite fundamentalism in Iran, which lead to the Iran/Iraq war, which lead to Desert Storm, which lead to 9/11 and that lead to us being in Iraq today. The only thing more sad has been watching Democrats jump into the fray and criticize Bush on Iran, even though his handling of the situation has been above average and wise. However, the morons on both sides of the isle are beginning to push Bush into a corner, demanding some kind of action and tougher talk towards Iran and this is dangerous.
Most people have forgotten that Iran is the primary exporter of Islamic terror around the world. They have a global reach that extends to Argentina, Peru, Norway, Moscow, the South Pacific and even the United States. Terrorist groups with ties to Iran have killed people in all of those countries. Iran also has missiles that can hit Saudi and other oil fields in the Middle East that we rely upon for importing. People rant about a first-strike on Iran like it's going to be a cake walk. They don't think about what happens the next day. Iran invented the suicide bomber in Lebanon and they have recruited THOUSANDS more over the years. It's the most effective tactic against the United States; it's worked against us from the Plains Indian Wars to the Kamikazes of WWII. I want to reveal to you Iran's perfect "Kill Shot" against the U.S., one that could bring us down in multiple ways and destroy huge sectors of our economy and our society. A simple shot that will isolate us from even our closest allies and make us the target of universal world hate for years to come.
It's a Saturday, Americans are watching college football, mowing the lawn or out and about on this weekend day. Suddenly T.V. sets go silent, followed by the words "Breaking News" and then respective anchor people appear on the screen at their desks with people running around in the background behind them. They begin to report that Tehran has been destroyed by a nuclear explosion and that the expected loss of life will be devastating. The White House has no comment and the Pentagon is scrambling for information as well. Within hours the streets of the western world become empty as people who heard the news raced home to sit in front of their televisions. As the sun rises in Europe, leaders there demand an explanation from the United States government. As the sun sets in the United States, an emergency session of Congress continues even though none of them know what's going on. The White House then releases a statement of condolence to the people of Iran, offering aid of any kind. It also says that the event is still under investigation and that the cause of the blast is unknown. In Iran, the emergency government thinks it knows where the bomb came from and on a live broadcast that is carried world wide they blame the United States and Israel. "Who else has this capability?" they ask. "Who else has been threatened by us and in turn threatened Iran?"
The diplomatic phone calls from Europe flood the embassies of the U.S. demanding answers and then demanding an apology. Israel issues an angry statement denying any attack upon Iran. The United States also denies any such action, at first from the Pentagon, the State Department and then finally in a speech from the President himself. He states that specialized US Air Force planes are sampling the fallout cloud that is now over Afghanistan and should be able to determine the source of the Plutonium and therefore the culprit. Iranian officials are on the air immediately to denounce the President. They then run footage of a number of Iranians who claim to have seen a cruise missile streaking low through the mountains, low enough to see the American flag on the tail. The Pentagon is quick to deny this, stating that all of the nuclear warheads in the US arsenal are accounted for and that the UN and the Russian governments are welcome to re-inspect and confirm this at any time.
However, the world doesn't believe the United States anymore.
In the following weeks, sanctions are put on the United States to demand its total disarmament. Europe cuts off all imports from and exports to the US in support of these sanctions, as does Japan and China and Central American countries. Shelves in department stores across the nation empty as items are sold out that cannot be restocked because they are made over seas. Wal Marts , Target, Macy's, Circuit City and eventually every major retailer is forced to close the doors of many of it's stores or cut their staff dramatically because it can find only a few products made in the US. As the United States holds fast, proclaiming its innocence, the sanctions continue to eat away at the American fabric. Computers and other electronic devices begin to fail and cannot be replaced because their components are come from overseas; this affects hospitals, airports, electric companies and water plants. Even though the United States has proof that the nuclear weapon was not American, these claims are followed by footage of desolation in Tehran along with the melted survivors of the outlying city on European and Asian television. They are always keen to show the kids with the melted faces too. The world is deaf to our pleas and the sanctions continue. Within a year, half of the American workforce is unemployed and the other half has had its wages slashed to the bone. Gas is rationed and many small towns have been abandoned by their citizens who've been forced to large cities for any kind of assistance.
The 2008 elections are divided along two lines: Disarmament and Standing Tall. The people who want us to disarm believe that the Government is lying about its innocence and that did in fact strike Iran. The folks who want the US to stand tall (alone) ask the question "What if you're wrong and we disarm? Someone out there used a nuke on a city without provocation, what makes you think we won't be next?"
I'd love to go on and say who wins but in today's world I couldn't even begin to guess. The fact is that while such a scenario would have dire consequences in the initial three years, the long term would be amazing in that Americans would be forced into self-reliance again. In essence we would make our own stuff again. The problem is what would happen in those three hard years? Does America have the balls anymore? Does it have the brains? The answers to those two questions are a frightening as an Iranian A-Bomb any day.

(ATLANTA) — Dr. Kent Brantly, one of two American Ebola patients flown from Liberia to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, says he's "growing stronger every day."
In a letter penned from the Emory isolation room, Brantly offered a glimpse of what it was like to treat Ebola patients at ELWA hospital in Monrovia, Liberia.
"I held the hands of countless individuals as this terrible disease took their lives away from them," he wrote. "I witnessed the horror first-hand, and I can still remember every face and name."
The ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa has killed 961 people out of the 1,779 infected, according to the World Health Organization. It is by far the worst Ebola outbreak on record.
Brantly, a 33-year-old father of two, isolated himself as soon as he sensed Ebola symptoms coming on earlier this month. Three days later, test results confirmed that he had the deadly disease.
"When the result was positive, I remember a deep sense of peace that was beyond understanding," he said. "God was reminding me of what He had taught me years ago, that He will give me everything I need to be faithful to him."
Brantly shocked doctors on Saturday when he walked into Emory University Hospital. He and missionary Nancy Writebol had been given an experimental Ebola treatment made by Mapp Biopharmaceuticals that had been shown to be helpful in monkey studies.
"The plain fact is that we don't know whether that treatment is helpful, harmful or doesn't have any impact," Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, testified before Congress earlier this week. "We're unlikely to know from the experience of two or a handful of patients whether it works."
The World Health Organization will convene a panel to discuss the ethics of providing experimental treatments in the outbreak.

Finally arriving Jo Holley asked us many questions and told us how she first began her career as a T.V Star and a Movie Star. Starting her career at primary Jo said she had started presenting when she was about 11. She was in many T.V shows such as Squirt , Crowd Goes Wild, ITM fishing and other shows that I've forgotten. There was also 1 movie that was Siones Wedding 2 Unfinished.
After telling us about her career and how she started she handed out our duffy books with Ron and Oston from the Buckland Beaches Lion club in Pakuranga. Calling classes 1-24 we went up and claimed our books. After that Jo Holley signed some books and took photos with the classes. Unfortunately we did not get her autograph but we did get a High 5.
Jo Holley said that even though you make mistakes it doesn't matter, what matters is to have fun. I thought about what she said and it was true.

text: Italians have begun voting in four referendums that could strike a new blow against the prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, who is still reeling from heavy local election losses last month. In the run-up to the two days of voting which began on Sunday, the centre-left opposition led a spirited campaign to get the voters out to cast their ballots on a series of issues. Voters are being asked to consider nuclear energy, the privatisation of water utilities and whether government ministers can be exempt from attending trials against them. A central issue will be whether enough voters turn out to ensure the necessary quorum of 50 per cent plus one vote. But if they repeal existing laws by voting yes, the result will probably have repercussions on Berlusconi's fractious centre-right coalition. "Behind the numbers lies the political fate of those who have taken a stand," Il Sole 24 Ore, Italy's leading business daily, said on Sunday. "It's clear that a wave of 'yes' votes will result in a shock, perhaps the final one, for his (Berlusconi's) premiership and even for his leadership of his party." The polls close on Monday at 1300 GMT. Opposition encouraged At 1000 GMT on Sunday, up to 12 per cent of eligible voters had cast ballots, which gave the opposition encouragement that the quorum would be reached by Monday afternoon, when the two days of voting ends. A quorum would be a setback to Berlusconi because he has said he would not vote and some of his ministers have urged voters to boycott. For some, the votes will be a way to demonstrate their disappointment with Berlusconi himself, who is facing a sex scandal and three fraud trials. If the quorum is reached, it would mean that "more than half of Italians are pointing a finger against him", Il Sole said. The referendum on nuclear power is the most emotive of the four, in the wake of the disaster at Japan's Fukushima reactor in March. Polls say most Italians are against nuclear energy, which they consider unsafe in a country prone to earthquakes. Nuclear power proponent Berlusconi is a big proponent of nuclear power, which the centre right says is indispensable for the future of a country that imports nearly all its energy. Last year the government passed a law to restart a nuclear energy programme, which was halted in 1987 by another referendum. Aware of the likely backlash following Fukushima, the government has suspended the plans but a referendum could block atomic power for decades. Another referendum would repeal the "legitimate impediment" that allows ministers to skip trial hearings against them on if they are on government business, which Berlusconi's critics say is for his personal benefit. Two others concern the privatisation of water utilities. The government says privatisation is essential to finance better services. Opponents say it would just lead to higher prices.

On Mar 27, 2018, CCG joined the International Center for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD) and China Institute for WTO Studies at the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE WTO Institute) hosting a symposium to discuss the prospect of global trade policies in 2018.
More than 20 experts from China and abroad, including ICTSD CEO Ricardo Meléndez-Ortiz, Former US Congressman and Chairman of WTO Appellate Body James Bacchus, and President of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China Mats Harborn, attended the event and exchanged their ideas about the issues such as regional integration, Sino-US trade war, the impact of domestic society on multilateral trade system, and the challenges presented to global trade. Wang Huiyao, the president of CCG, chaired the symposium.
The year of 2017 witnessed the shakeup of globalization policies. The trade liberalization principle established since the WWII has been severely undermined as US President Donald Trump declared "American first" as the overarching theme of his economic policies. As a result, little progress was achieved at the 11th WTO Ministerial Conference in Buenos Aires. This rising challenge makes it important now to look into the issues like the future of world trade, WTO reform, and the Sino-US trade relation.
According to ICTSD CEO Meléndez-Ortiz, the China-US relation is crucial to world economy and global trade. Therefore, the two countries should figure out the root cause of their tension and find the common solution. Regarding the WTO's future, as more members joined this multilateral trade mechanism, its rules need to be updated and adapted to the new situation. Also, the WTO rules cannot accommodate all the members, which are at the different stage of development and therefore handle trade issues in different ways. Furthermore, global trade has experienced drastic changes in the recent years, whereas the WTO cannot cover many new elements in global trade such as data, services and information. Meléndez-Ortiz suggested that WTO reforms itself to be more adaptable and accommodatable to the members at different development stage and trade agreements with different features. He encouraged think tanks and international organizations to provide more information and analysis as well as create more opportunities for discussion to help solve the problems that threaten the WTO and world trade mechanism.
Former US Congressman and Chairman of WTO Appellate Body Mr. James Bacchus provided an analysis about the current situation of the Sino - US relations. He believes President Trump's trade policies violate the WTO's fundamental principles, which are against unilateralism. They will not only cause negative impact on the relations between the United States and its trade partners but also international trade mechanism as a whole. On the contrary, Bacchus noted that China has been persistently supporting multilateral trade system and the current international order. However, China should also realize that no country can continuously grow its economy alone without being opened up to the outside of the world.
Mats Harborn, the President of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, also shared his perspectives about China's economic transformation and challenges in the past two decades. He also presented the views and concerns shared by the rest of the world about the "Made in China 2025" and the "Belt & Road" Initiatives. He suggested that China take more responsibilities and initiatives to solve trade problems and work with the EU to address the WTO challenges.
On China side, CCG President Wang Huiyao highlighted the importance of the methodology used to measure trade deficits. Based on his research, a high volume of service trade is neglected in the current measurement of trade. For instance, the number of Chinese people travelling and studying in the U.S., which is much bigger than that of American people travelling and studying in China, has generated a lot of revenue for the U.S.. Taking this into account, the U.S. actually has a trade plus with China. Also, the Trump administration blames the trade deficit with China for the loss of US jobs in the manufacturing industry. But, he fails to realize the contribution of China's investment to the US employment. Moreover, China and the U.S. have the potential for cooperation in many areas, including infrastructure construction and the cross-border e-commerce.
Earlier the day, CCG and ICTSD reached an agreement to establish partnership on global trade research to promote free trade around the world.

05 April 2018 – In a parliamentary question published in January 2018, MEP Siôn Simon (S&D) voices concerns over ongoing abuses against migrant workers in Qatar, ahead of the 2022 World Cup. Despite promising reforms announced in 2017, migrants working on the World Cup construction sites continue to suffer abuse and exploitation, under Qatar's severe kafala (sponsorship) system.
The kafala sponsorship system
In the recent years, Qatar has been increasingly relying on a growing migrant workers labour force, approximatively amounting to 95% of its labour force, to support its ambitious infrastructure development programme. Employment of migrant workers in Qatar is regulated by the kafala system, a sponsorship system which ties workers with in-country sponsors, whom they need consent to obtain either a visa, an exit permit or to move to another job. In a 2014 country mission report on Qatar, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of migrants described the kafala system as "a source of abuse and exploitation of migrants [which] should be abolished".
Most of the booming demand for migrant workers in the construction sector comes from the 2022 World Cup sites, where abuses and exploitation have been rampant. Withholds of salaries, forced labour, and passport confiscations are among the most prevalent abuses, Amnesty International reported. Workers are often unable to leave their current jobs as their employer refuse to grant them an exit permit. At the same time, some are denied by their employers the extension of their residence permits, which puts them in an irregular situation and at risk of being detained. Workers' access to justice is, by far, limited, and the existing mechanisms to settle disputes between workers and employers are inefficient, points out International Labour Organization (ILO). Overall, workers are often living and working in tire conditions, with insufficient rest times, food and security, on the backdrop of widespread origin-based discrimination.
Failed reforms and repeated commitments
In a first symbolic move, the Qatari government commissioned an international law firm's report to investigate abuses taken in September 2013. Amid multiplying NGOs and UN reports and increased international pressure ahead of its Universal Periodic Review (UPR), Qatar announced reforms to the sponsorship system in May 2014 and again in November 2014. In face of flagrant and continued abuses, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) issued two complaints against the Government of Qatar, in November 2015 and in November 2016. Sweeping aside the "vague promises of Qatar to reform the Kafala system and to shift to a contract system", the ILO deplored that the government proved inefficient or unwilling to investigate and curb abuses.
A new sponsorship law (Law no. 21 of 2015) was passed in November 2015, and ultimately entered into force in December 2016. But despite minor improvements, it failed to lift the major exploitive characteristics of the sponsorship system, including the need to obtain employer's permission to change jobs during the contract period and the impossibility to leave the country without an exit permit.
Despite the lack of meaningful reform of the kafala system and ongoing abuses, the EU, in its 2016 Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy, "welcomed" the new legislation which it considered as an "important step in replacing the 'kafala' (sponsorship) system with a fully contract-based system". It further added that it would continue, along with its Member States, to monitor the implementation of the Law no. 21 and the overall conditions of migrant workers in the run-up to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
On 8 November 2017, the ILO closed its two complaints against Qatar, launching a 3-year ILO cooperation programme in Qatar and praising Qatar's renewed commitment to implement "numerous measures […] to replace the Kafala system with a contractual employment relation". Under pressure by the ILO and facing a possible investigation, Qatar had, indeed, committed to a range of new reforms. In August 2017, the Qatari government had passed the Law No. 13 establishing judiciary Labour Dispute Resolution Committees in order to settle disputes between workers and employers. As many NGOs noted, Qatar could, if such measures were fairly implemented, pave the way to the abolition of the kafala system in the Gulf. In October, Qatari media announced the Government had signed 36 agreements with the main migrant workers' origin countries to provide basic legal protection for workers. On the 25th, the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) declared it had agreed with Qatar on the introduction of a minimum wage, reform of the kafala system and the end of passport confiscation, among other positive steps –stressing nevertheless that "much remains to be done".
As encouraging as these commitments can seem, this is certainly not the first time Qatar claims to dismantle the kafala system. In the past, such announcements have not resulted in the removal of the sponsorship system's exploitive elements from Qatar's legal and regulatory framework. It is also worth noting that in practice, despite improvements, abuses against migrant workers on the World Cup 2022 sites are still rampant; released in February, Impactt's 2018 Annual Report noted many workers were still working for excessive hours and/or for consecutive days without rest, and were facing contract substitution[1]. Five months after the launch of the ILO programme in Qatar, it's high time for the authorities to clarify their commitments and implement the reforms without delay.
MEP Question to HR/VP
In light of the aforementioned, MEP Siôn Simon (S&D) echoed concerns over the continuing abuses against migrant workers ahead of the 2022 World Cup in a parliamentary question to HR/VP Federica Mogherini, asking the following:
Since December 2010, when Qatar won its bid to host the 2022 World Cup, the country has embarked on massive building projects which have reportedly led to severe workers' exploitation and poor conditions across the country.
What action will the VP/HR take to ensure that migrant workers' rights in Qatar are not being violated, as is reported?
Answering to Mr. Sion's question, HR/VP Federica Mogherini noted that the EU had, within the ILO, voiced on many occasions its commitment to promote human rights in Qatar, as well as the universal ratification of the Forced Labour Convention. She declared that the EU had "taken note of the adoption by Qatar of Law No 13 of 2017", acknowledged "regulatory improvements by Qatar in relation to job transfer and exit visa under Law 21 of 2015", and was standing ready "continue supporting Qatar to implement these changes". She added that the EU would continue to "monitor technical cooperation between Qatar and the Office of the ILO", in particular with a view towards the abolition of "all discriminatory practices related to the Kafala (sponsorship) system".
While the European Centre for Democracy and Human Rights (ECDHR) welcomes the European Union's commitment to promoting migrant workers' rights in Qatar, we wish to insist on the importance to press for the effective and urgent implementation of the reforms announced in 2017. The EU must continue to call for improvements in migrant workers' protection in Qatar, to make sure that this new set of legislative reforms won't be yet another broken promise.
Written question by MEP Siôn Simon, Subject: VP/HR — Migrant workers' rights in Qatar in the run-up to the 2022 World Cup, 10 January 2018
Migrant workers in Qatar have been reported to have been subjected to a wide range of human rights abuses and exploitative practices, including forced labour.
On 23 June 2015, in response to a parliamentary question, the VP/HR welcomed Qatar's intention to improve migrant-related legislation. On 13 December 2016, the new law (No 21 of 2015) governing the sponsorship of migrant workers came into force, replacing the previous law (No 4 of 2009). Many commentators have doubts about whether these laws represent the reform that many are calling for.
Since December 2010, when Qatar won its bid to host the 2022 World Cup, the country has embarked on massive building projects which have reportedly led to severe workers' exploitation and poor conditions across the country.
What action will the VP/HR take to ensure that migrant workers' rights in Qatar are not being violated, as is reported?
Answer given by Vice-President Mogherini on behalf of the Commission, 26 March 2018
The European Union (EU) has been following issues pertaining to migrant workers' rights in Qatar closely, through its Delegation in Riyadh (which is accredited to Qatar) as well as in Geneva (EU Delegation is accredited to the International Labour Organisation/ILO).
Within ILO, the EU has reiterated on many occasions the importance it attributes ‐in Qatar and beyond‐ to the promotion, respect and fulfilment of human rights, as safeguarded by the ILO conventions and other human rights instruments.
The EU has promoted the universal ratification of the Forced Labour Convention. Within this framework, the EU has taken note of the adoption by Qatar of Law No 13 of 2017, which established Workers' Dispute Resolution Committees, as well as the promulgation of Law No 15 on domestic workers. The EU is ready to continue supporting Qatar to implement these changes.
The EU also acknowledges the regulatory improvements by Qatar in relation to job transfer and exit visa under Law 21 of 2015, as mentioned by the Honourable Member. The EU took note of the decision by the ILO Governing body in November 2017 to close the 2014 complaint concerning non-observance by Qatar of the Forced Labour Convention and the Labour Inspection Convention.
It will continue to monitor technical cooperation between Qatar and the Office of the ILO Governing Body to make sure that critical underlying issues in the complaint are properly addressed with a view, in particular, to put an end to all discriminatory practices related to the Kafala (sponsorship) system, to strengthen labour inspection and to establish representative joint committees.

Insulation for Your Home or Business in Auburn, Washington
We are skilled installers of many varieties of insulation products. From blown in to fiberglass to spray foam, we are your neighborhood experts. You will discover few providers that provide the broad selection of services we do when it comes to insulating your home, your commercial building and even your barn. We are in weekly contact with our suppliers which gives us access to the most recent technical information and the very best prices on insulation. We are glad you visited our online site today and hope you will give us a call to fix your insulation challenges.
Varieties of Installation We Can Install For You
There are several kinds of insulation. Each type of insulation has its uses and provides distinct benefits for each application. You will find that insulation comes in a wide range of prices. All insulation is quantified in units called R-values. The higher the R-value the greater the resistance to the movement of heat between spaces. You will need to make sure that the kind of insulation you choose will do the job and give you with the level of comfort you seek.
How Insulation Saves You Money in Washington
Insulation is a never often seen product that can make a substantial difference in the quality of your living environment. Insulation also has a real payback on your insulation investment. The better the insulation and installation, the quicker you will recoup your investment in insulation in terms of reduced energy bills. You will be helping the environment when you use less energy to heat and cool your house or facility.
How Ventilation Influences Insulation.
The quantity of insulation and the quantity of ventilation in a structure needs to be properly balanced for your house or structure to perform optimally. Too often we observe that ventilation, especially in attics, has been clogged. Your goal should be to have a well-functioning ventilation and insulation system in your house or building. We have the appropriate testing methods to figure out if you have any air leaks, obstructed vents or other problems that affect the performance of your ventilation and insulation system.
Where Can I Find Insulation Rebates in the Auburn, WA Area?
A good reason to phone us is that we know about the available manufacturer rebates in our area. Rebates can come from manufacturers or they can come from the state or municipality. Keeping up with rebates offered to our clients is one of the things we do to help you benefit from all the benefits an insulation upgrade can offer.
Attic Insulation in Auburn
One of the most essential locations of your home or building to insulate correctly is your attic. Insulating an attic the right way will keep heated air from leaking into the living areas in the summertime. It will also prevent warm air from living spaces escaping into an unheated attic in the wintertime. Air movement such as these is the cause of higher energy bills and less comfortable living areas. Because the attic is a massive area, it is generally one of the first areas where we improve the quality and quantity of insulation present. You will also benefit because your hvac system will not have to work as hard and will last longer.
Insulating a Basement or Crawl Space
The basement and crawl space are 2 areas that should be checked for ample insulation. The ideal form of insulation will reduce dampness and drafts in crawl spaces and basements. Installing insulation in between basements and crawl spaces and living areas will ensure that your floors are not freezing and there are no cool spots in your living areas. You will also discover that spray insulation also helps with insect and rodent control in below grade spaces like basements.
Varieties Of Insulation Available in Auburn, WA
The kind of insulation we recommend is dependent on the degree of protection and comfort you need for your home or building. We install 4 different types of insulation: spray foam, cellulose, blown in fiberglass and rigid foam insulation.
Spray foam insulation is the best insulation to seal off air and insulate at the same time. It is a chemical material that spreads out to fill every void and is waterproof and pest resistant. There are 2 kinds, closed cell and open cell.
Blow-in cellulose insulation is fire resistant and is made from recycled materials. It is used in attics and wall spaces and is resistant to pests and mold and mildew. Loose fill fiberglass insulation is blown-in fiberglass shreds and has similar applications to cellulose insulation. It is a very cost-effective insulating product.
For attics, basements and crawl spaces, rigid foam insulation with a radiant barrier is a perfect solution. It is a durable insulating option and is mostly used in unfinished areas of a house or commercial buildings.
Wall Insulation
Many houses don't have enough insulation in their wall cavities. Gradually, batts and loose fill insulation can droop or become wet and lose insulating capacity. We can use various insulation materials to correct this problem including injection foam, blown-in fiberglass and spray foam. The type of insulation material we suggest will depend on how accessible the walls are from the exterior.
Auburn Garage Insulation.
One of the many locations where insulation can improve the enjoyment of living rooms is the garage. Builders often neglect insulating a garage properly to save on building expenses. Energy loss from an inadequately insulated garage can originate from the garage ceiling, walls and the access door from the house into the garage. To boost your home's comfort and efficiency, call us to help upgrade your garage insulation.
Insulating Ductwork
Uninsulated duct work in the basement, crawl space or up in the attic is a cause of lost energy and wasted money. We can insulate your ductwork with foil blankets, spray foam or burying attic ductwork with blow in insulation. Insulating and sealing your ductwork will make sure that you are not losing heat in the cold months and air-conditioned air in the summer and making your hvac system work much harder than it needs to.
Pipe Insulation
Incorrectly insulated water pipes are a cause of wasted water and wasted energy in Auburn, Washington. You will wait longer for hot water to get to your faucets if your pipes are not insulated correctly. We can recommend the type and size of pipe insulation you will want to get the fastest delivery of very hot water and the very best results in terms of energy savings.

Tutorial Please
I want to learn how to build a Linux network from scratch that includes file and printer sharing, intranet. I have an intermediate-level knowledge of Windows networking. Can anyone suggest a book or online tutorial that I can learn from? Now let me be clear: I am finding no shortage of tutorials on the web. However, too many are old or incomplete.
A little extra info: I am a teacher/network admin for a small private school with about 50 student computers (that I wish to become Linux machines in the future) and about 10 staff computers (mostly Windows laptops--I do not expect the staff to convert to Linux as readily), I currently do not have an intranet implemented.
04-19-2010 #2
the easiest way is to use the documentation from the distribution you use.
I prefer CentOS, most beginners start with Ubuntu I guess.
Try the following for Ubuntu:
Samba is used to create "Windows" shares over the network, so Windows machines can use them as well as Linux or MAC. Alternatives to Samba do exists but I guess it is so easy and widely deployed that it would do the job for you.

The Colorado Avalanche and centre Ryan OReilly avoided salary arbitration on Wednesday, agreeing to terms on a two-year contract. Mike Iupati Jersey . TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports that the deal pays him $5.8 million next season and $6.2 million in 2015-16. "We are pleased to have Ryan under contract," said Avalanche Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Joe Sakic in a team statement. "We are looking at the upcoming training camp and season with a lot of excitement." The 23-year-old scored 28 goals and added 36 assists in 80 games with the Avalanche in 2013-14. Originally selected by the Avalanche in the second round (33rd overall) in 2009, OReilly has scored 73 goals and 118 assists in 345 career games with the club. OReilly made $6.5 million last season in the second year of a back-end-loaded contract worth an average annual value of $5 million. The deal arose out of the Avalanches decision to match an offer sheet OReilly signed with the Calgary Flames prior to the lockout-shortened 2012-13 NHL season. Despite that move, Sakic maintains that there are no ill feelings between OReilly and management. "There was never any animosity between us this whole time," he told Adrian Dater of The Denver Post on Wednesday. "Any of the perceived animosity came from the outside." Carson Palmer Jersey . 1. Lions WR Calvin Johnson (6 REC, 101 YDS, 1 TD, 10 targets) leads receivers with 1,299 yards and 12 touchdowns, though his 118.1 receiving yards per game ranks second behind Clevelands Josh Gordon. Gordon (10 REC, 261 YDS, 2 TD, 15 targets) is emerging as a superstar, putting up huge numbers even with Jason Campbell and Brandon Weeden at quarterback. Justin Bethel Jersey . Hes the same player he always was, only now his efforts are being rewarded. The rookie manager has made a habit of heaping praise on others when things are going well, and accepting criticism when they arent. But in the case of Hurtado, its what the coach is NOT saying that may be the secret to a superb run of form. http://www.thecardinalsshoponline.com/Youth-Kurt-Warner-Cardinals-Jersey/ .com) - SirDominic Pointer posted career highs of 24 points and seven steals to lead No.DETROIT -- On a day of dandy Detroit debuts, Alex Gonzalez helped Brad Ausmus start his tenure as Tigers manager with a win. Gonzalez lined an RBI single off Greg Holland in the bottom of the ninth, giving the Tigers a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Monday in Ausmus first game since replacing Jim Leyland. Victor Martinez homered for Detroit, and Justin Verlander was sharp aside from a three-run fourth inning that wasnt all his fault. "Theres two things that could have spoiled opening day for me," Ausmus said. "One, if we lost. And two, if the sun wasnt out. Because for me opening day, the sun is out, fans are having fun, theyre eating their popcorn, drinking their beer. The energy is higher." Kansas City lost its sixth straight opener. Ausmus was upstaged a bit by another newcomer on a bright, pleasant day in downtown Detroit. Gonzalez was acquired by the Tigers in late March following an injury to shortstop Jose Iglesias. Detroit is just hoping he can fill in competently, and Gonzalez did not impress at first. His error in the fourth helped the Royals score an extra run, but he made up for that with a tying triple in the seventh. Gonzalez then singled with men on first and third in the ninth. "Ive played on a lot of opening days -- I dont even remember all of them -- but this one was special," Gonzalez said. "I was looking for a pitch that I could elevate, and I got one. I rounded first and all I saw was the whole team coming at me." Joe Nathan -- another new face on Detroits roster -- pitched a scoreless ninth. Nathan (1-0) signed with the Tigers to become their closer, but hell have to wait a bit longer for a save opportunity. Holland didnt have a save chance either after converting 47 of 50 last year. Instead, the right-hander came into a difficult situation in the ninth and couldnt get out of it. Wade Davis (0-1) yielded a one-out walk to Alex Avila and a single to Nick Castellanos before Holland allowed the single to Gonzalez. "I get paid to get people out, and I didnt do it today," Holland said. "Were not here to fight and compete. Were here to win." Detroits Tyler Collins made his major league debut as a pinch runner for Avila -- and ended up scoring the winning run. Salvador Perez had four hits for Kansas City. Andre Ellington Jersey. Although there were still a few patches of snow in the Detroit area Monday morning, the game was played under a sunny sky with temperatures in the 50s. With its recently re-sodded field, Comerica Park looked sharp. But the Tigers, coming off three straight AL Central titles, were sloppy at first. Right fielder Torii Hunter dropped a routine flyball in the second, and although Verlander pitched out of that jam, he couldnt escape the fourth. Salvador Perez tied it at 1 with a one-out RBI double off Verlander, and Lorenzo Cain slapped an RBI single through the hole into left field to put Kansas City ahead. After a two-out walk, Gonzalez bobbled Norichika Aokis slow grounder for an error that loaded the bases. Verlander then walked Omar Infante, forcing in Kansas Citys third run of the inning. Verlander had surgery in January after injuring his groin, but he pitched 20 scoreless innings during spring training. He allowed three runs -- two earned -- and six hits in six innings Monday, walking three and striking out two. That was enough for a no-decision. Verlander was making his seventh straight start on opening day, and hes only 1-1 in those games. "I never seem to find a win on opening day, but the bullpen shut them down and we got one anyway. Thats all that matters," Verlander said. "Every opening day is special, but this one meant a little more, because I had to really work and grind to get here for this one after the surgery." With Kansas City ahead 3-1 in the seventh, Austin Jackson hit a one-out triple and Avila drew a walk. Aaron Crow replaced starter James Shields and struck out Castellanos, but the third strike was a wild pitch that allowed Jackson to score. Gonzalez followed with a triple to the gap in left-centre. Shields gave up three runs and five hits in 6 1-3 innings. NOTES: Infante received a hand from the Detroit crowd when he was introduced with the Kansas City players before the game. He left the Tigers and signed with the Royals in the off-season. ... The crowd of 45,068 was the second-largest in Comerica history. ... It was the fourth four-hit game of Perezs career. ... The Royals were 67-6 last year when leading by 2 or more runs at any point from the seventh inning on, according to STATS.
