Scolari backs off as Portugal get angry
Telegraph.co.uk – Apr 26, 2006
As bookmakers slashed the odds on Scolari landing the job ahead of Steve McClaren, murmurings of discontent began rumbling among those at the top of the English game who are opposed to another foreigner managing the national team. Some members of the FA’s five-man nominations committee believe appointing a second successive overseas coach would send the wrong message to those English managers trying to work their way through the system, a view shared by the League Managers’ Association. And Manchester City boss Stuart Pearce, himself a contender for the job until a month ago, said he would be very surprised if Scolari got the job as he was convinced the public wanted a home-grown manager. It is believed Scolari has emerged as favourite following a lack of consensus among the FA committee, public doubts over McClaren’s ability, and Middlesbrough’s FA Cup semi-final defeat by West Ham on Sunday. Boro captain Gareth Southgate also undermined his manager’s bid when he questioned whether he was ready for it.
“Is it worth abiding by atomic rules?” Iran asks UN

Iran has flouted calls from both the IAEA and the U. Security Council that it halt enriching uranium. Ahmadinejad stressed these two bodies did not necessarily represent the law.

However, how much time would your sys admin(s) spend on the home grown open source Grid if they went that route? Over three years — probably more than $40k. So IBM has packaged up something that does seem to make economic sense for SMBs. and there’s no question that there are plenty of mid-market customers that need the performance of Grid, but want to avoid cobbling together everything on their own.

The FutureGen facility would convert coal into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. That plant would use hydrogen for electricity generation and fuel cells and pioneer the storing of carbon dioxide underground in sandstone and other geological formations. The goal is to develop “home- grown energy” while reducing emissions of a climate-changing gas. Robert Finley, FutureGen.
