In a press conference after the game, La Volpe further rubbed salt in his forward’s wounds, stating that he didn’t select Saborío to take the penalty kick in regulation time.
In the wake of the defeat, national fans and media bombarded the striker. A story in the daily La Nación referred to the game as “the most infamous day of his career.” Within 24 hours of the game, a Facebook page was created with the title “I want Álvaro Saborío to retire from La Selección.” As of Wednesday, 8,322 people had “liked” the page, while an additional 3,000 had “liked” a similar page titled “Álvaro Saborío OFF La Selección Nacional.” A page titled “I support Álvaro Saborío” was also created, though only 225 fans have “liked” the page to date.
In the loss against Honduras, Costa Rica’s lone star of the match was central defender Dennis Marshall. The thin, lanky, left-footed defender from Limón tallied the Ticos’ only goal of the game with a header in the 55th minute, slid in to block a Honduran shot destined for goal at the end of regulation time, and created Costa Rica’s best opportunity to score in the first overtime period.
Five days later, on June 23, Marshall was killed in a car accident on Route 32, the highway that connects the capital to Limón on the Caribbean coast. Marshall and his wife, who also died in the crash, were returning to San José after a visit to his parents’ home. Marshall was 25.
On June 25, two days after Marshall’s death, Saborío, who declined to be interviewed for this article, returned to league action with his U.S.-based club team Real Salt Lake. After being held scoreless through the first 15 games of the regular season, Saborío notched two goals in an 18-minute stretch to lead Real Salt Lake to a 3-1 victory. Saborío, who said after the game that he dedicated his performance to Marshall, kissed a black bland on his arm after each goal and looked stoically to the sky.
Saborío’s reputation with Costa Rican fans has always run hot and cold.
He missed a chance against Uruguay in late 2009 that could have put La Sele in the 2010 World Cup. A year and a half later, he scored the first goal during the inaugural game of the National Stadium against China in March.
In 2003-2004, he was the leading scorer for national club team Saprissa, while this year, playing for his new team, Real Salt Lake, he played a vital role in eliminating Saprissa from the Concacaf Champions League competition.
As for Saborío’s currently tarnished reputation, Coto said he feels it could quickly be reversed with a goal, an assist or a solid performance in La Sele’s next match.
Residents said a Houthi convoy of armored vehicles, tanks and military trucks heading along the coastal road to Aden from Shaqra was attacked by warplanes before dawn on Saturday, and a number of vehicles were hit.
A Yemeni official in Sharm el-Sheikh said Yemeni authorities had received information that Iranian experts had brought in parts for long-range missiles held at a base south of Sanaa. He said the air strikes had targeted these missiles, some of which had been pointing towards Aden or neighboring countries.
LAS CRUCES - Going green is an everyday practice for the students at Las Cruces Academy – a small private school in Mesilla with 31 students, four paid employees and two full-time volunteers.
The green efforts at Las Cruces Academy merited recognition as the best of the 14 local businesses that submitted applications to the Green Chamber of Commerce to be considered for in the Sustainable Business Recognition Program.
Students who range from kindergarten to eighth grade incorporate green habits into every school day. At lunch they eat at recycled tables. After lunch, food scraps are scraped into a compost bin, recyclable items are recycled. Plastic forks and spoons are rewashed and reused. Washable cloth rags are used instead of paper towels to clean up messes. How much trash is created? Director Kay estimates the school “fills a family sized garbage container about once a month.” This is “zero waste” at its best!
“We launched the Sustainable Business Recognition Program last November, opening the application process to all local businesses in Las Cruces to self-report their efforts to recycle, reuse, conserve resources, and keep money in the local economy,” said Carrie Hamblen, CEO/president of the Las Cruces Green Chamber.
Conserving paper at Las Cruces Academy goes over and above using cloth towels. Reusable scrap paper goes into a life-sized zebra chest of drawers. “We use double sided paper, and reuse scrap paper for art projects,” explained eight-grade student Arabella.
Outside the school is a garden planted by students. Once their vegetables are harvested they get to eat them. All wooden boxes in the garden are made of recycled goods. Almost everything you find at Las Cruces Academy has been reused. If they don’t have a purpose for something, they simply pass it along to be reused somewhere else.
Zero Waste is not only a “doable” concept; it’s being done right here in Las Cruces - thanks to schools like Las Cruces Academy. If your business or organization is involved in zero waste efforts, please let us know; contact Suzanne Michaels at suzanchor@aol.com.
Green Connections is submitted by the South Central Solid Waste Authority (SCSWA), managing recyclables, solid waste, and fighting illegal dumping for residents and businesses in the city of Las Cruces and Doña Ana County. You can reach the SCSWA at (575) 528-3800 or visit www.SCSWA.net.
On Sunday, Broncos’ QB Tim Tebow saw his first extensive action of the season. Align the QB in the shotgun and run a package that is pretty similar to what we saw from the rookie when he was playing under Urban Meyer at the University of Florida.
The next step? Josh McDaniels has to create a passing option for Tebow. NFL defenses will find a way to shut this package down within a week—unless the Broncos evolve their play calling with Tebow on the field. Today, I will draw up a basic route concept that the Broncos can install and start to move forward with an expanded playbook designed for Tebow.
Before we get to that, let’s go back and watch the replay of Tebow’s first NFL TD. This is nothing more than a basic run concept: the Power O. Pull the backside guard and lead with the fullback. The same concept we see from the Dolphins with Ronnie Brown in Miami’s version of the wildcat. Against the Jets, Tebow just bounced it outside for the score.
As we can see, a formation that looks great on the chalkboard. The type of package that forces opposing defenses to waste extra practice and meeting time in their preparation. Tebow becomes that “wild card” or gadget player in the scouting reports. But, we aren’t seeing anything here that is exotic in terms of the actual scheme.Time to add a run/ pass option for the QB. Use his athletic skills to get him out of the pocket and give him safe, predictable reads in the passing game.
Bring Tank personnel (1 WR, 2 TE, 2 RB) onto the field in a red zone situation. Give them that wildcat look—complete with the pre-snap motion from the running back. But, when it actually unfolds, the Broncos are running nothing more than the Swap Boot—a classic backfield action that we see all across the NFL. To illustrate this, I put the defense in their base 4-3 front playing Red 2 (Cover 2 in the red zone).
The Route: Tebow is essentially looking at is a Flat-7 (or flag) combo. That’s it. The open, or weak side, TE (U) releases vertically up the field and runs the 7 route at the free safety. The FB comes back underneath the line of scrimmage and becomes the Flat read for Tebow. The Z receiver (flanker) aligns to the closed, or strong side, of the formation as a wing and releases across the field. The same concept we will see in the NFL out of Pro (2 WR, 1 TE, 2 RB) and Ace (2 WR, 2 TE, 1 RB) personnel—only here it has some added window dressing.
Tebow’s reads: High to low. Look to the 7 and come down to the Flat. Those are Tebow’s primary reads. His third option is the Z on the inside crosser. Have to read the drop of the open side CB. If he sinks, try to hit the Flat route. If he stays short, look to the 7 and then back to the No.3 (Z).
The run option: The added bonus with Tebow. This is built into the scheme. Get Tebow out of the pocket on Sprint-boot action and let him see the field. Read high to low as we just discussed, but don’t forget that holding onto the ball is the safest play. Put that shoulder down and take on the CB at the goal line.
Play action: The field shrinks in the red zone. Defenders don’t take big drops and throwing lanes are restricted. That is why I like the wildcat action with the RB. Force the linebackers and the FS to step towards the line of scrimmage. Try to open up throwing lanes—the idea behind play action. And let’s not forget about the open side defensive end. The Broncos want to see him crash hard—allowing Tebow to go though his reads without pressure up the field.
The basic theory: Make Tebow a duel-threat. That is why you use play action and dress up basic personnel packages. We have to remember that no matter how creative we think certain coaches are from a play calling perspective, there is only so much you can do with 11 players on the field. The TD run we saw against Rex Ryan’s Jets and the play I just diagramed aren’t very complex. But, they are ideal for a player with the athletic ability of Tim Tebow.

Blake Gopnik - The Hirshhorn balloon expansion: Will art get squeezed out of the picture?
The Hirshhorn balloon expansion: Will art get squeezed out of the picture?
The Hirshhorn's new plans for expansion -- for "in-spansion," we might want to say -- look good. If it ever gets built, the high-design "bubble" in the Hirshhorn's doughnut hole should attract eyes to the structure, and bodies and minds to the institution. Who could ever complain about a space that will foster talk about contemporary art and culture?
But the problem with this project, or with any other grand museum project you could name, is that it risks making activity and action the museum's central goal, with contemplation pushed to dismal second place.
Art museums ought to be about three things: Art. Art. And more art.
They should be so focused on gathering art together and showing it off that there's barely time or room for anything else. That should be how a museum feels to visitors: The art on view should so dominate their experience that all the rest -- the shop, the cafe, the lecture and event schedule, the wall texts and flashy digital "enhancements," the architecture itself -- should fade almost away. If a museum director wanders into his galleries and sees a bunch of people in them looking at a bunch of art (as on any normal day at the Hirshhorn) he should feel he's 95 percent of the way there. Anything else is gravy, worth a passing thought but not a year's worth of meetings and fundraisers. A museum should be more like a library for art than like a cineplex or college campus or shopping mall.
Will the Hirshhorn's new structure send out those kind of art-first vibes? Or will it make such a big impact, each time it gets blown up, that it becomes more of a distraction than anything else? Art historian Alexander Dumbadze, who likes what he's seen of the Diller Scofidio and Renfro bubble, says, "Good architecture can also be seen as a work of art." He's obviously right. But there's a real risk that this one "work" in the Hirshhorn collection could shove aside all the others.
Our culture's already all about splash and flash and Twitter-length attention spans. One of the glories of art is that it resists all that -- can even be an antidote to all that. It rewards slow, serious, long contemplation. It demands it. It barely pays off without it. That's why it's more crucial than ever that museums be extra careful not to provide yet another distraction from the wildly tough job of looking at art.
Since taking the reins at the Hirshhorn, Richard Koshalek has been saying that he wants to put "equal signs" between the museum's collection, its special exhibitions and its "outreach" -- lectures and education and all the stuff that should be going on in the new bubble. But I'm not sure a museum ought to put an equal sign between art and anything else. It should always be a "greater than."
CRIME lord Jamie “Iceman” Stevenson has been moved to a different jail – after he hit a fellow inmate with a plant pot.
The gangster, who is serving 12 years and nine months for money laundering, was transferred from Shotts prison in Lanarkshire to Perth jail after the attack.
An insider said: “Stevenson is a well-known figure in jail so he attracts a lot of attention.
“He is a big guy and isn’t scared to stand up for himself.
Stevenson, 46, was moved to Shotts from Noranside open prison in Angus last year in a bid to stop him running his massive drugs empire from his cell.

Electoral bribes only work when they are seen as dividends rather than alibis.
I was really incensed that the government chose to raise unemployment benefits by such a measly amount (around $4.00 a week for a single), thereby ensuring that more and more people become reliant on Foodbanks and/or end up living on the streets.
Hardly a day goes by without a manufacturing plant or factory closing, thereby ensuring a continuing increase in the number of people dependent on welfare.
Dumping sole parents on the dole when his/her youngest child turns 8 is further evidence of this government's lack of interest in looking after the poor, and its minuscule level of concern for the country's most disadvantaged children.
At the same time as the government is supporting a National Disability Insurance Scheme, it is also continuing to cut off Disability Support Pensioners.
The government is offering $1000 to 50,000 employers to provide work for an older Australian for a period of 3 months. Surely Wayne Swan should be aware that businesses are not run on "chicken feed" donations.
While paying mainly lip service to job creation, this government seems more hell bent on bringing the nation, along with individuals and families, to its economic knees.
It is certainly a "smoke and mirrors" budget which is unlikely to deliver a budget surplus any time soon.
However we can be fairly confident it will deliver a huge surplus of homeless people trying to live on peasants' rations, mostly supplied by the rest of the community.
See, the problem is, if the poor Australians have no cash, well you know the Robin Hood theory, and all the sheriff's of nottinghams Treasury was robbed, when all of the Kings men forgot about that very important word from the history pages of life....now what was that word?
And Robin said" we take from the rich and give to the poor, and its that what the Labor/greens are doing?
The people aren't that thick:)but they are getting hungry.
If the people have money, the crime rate goes down considerably.
I have now given further thought to the handouts being made to parents for their children's education.
The idea that they are a lump sum sweetener to lessen the blow of a Carbon Tax seems to have value, but I also think it is a pre-election bribe.
With both Craig Thomson and Peter Slipper in serious trouble, it may be only weeks before a fresh election is called.
The best time to give parents a lump sum for their children's education might be at the beginning of November, when parents can generally pre-order books, stationery items, uniforms and schoolbags from their local schools.
This would also give schools some excellent early income to enable planning for better school programs in the following year.
I agree with this article.
The budget is a joke and a sad reflection of why federal Labor is not up to it.
They know the problems ahead, but what do the deliver, handouts to prop up their support.
It is obvious that Australia needs to reduce costs and this means that both sides of politics have to be smart about the refroms and adopt change in fair way that can apperal to voters.
For Labor, how about starting with a recognition of the truth, and not wishful thinking about a reliance on a mining boom forver.
All i hope for now is that the next Coaliton govt is better.
If I were a Labor voter I'd throw that insultingly measly support back at Gillard & Swan. Their recent pay rise including all the other Parties was in the hundreds of Dollars a week & these disgusting creeps want to big note themselves of giving families $4 bucks ? Disgusting is the only fitting description.
Get them out of office as soon as possible.
This Govt makes Gough Whitlam look good.Why does not the Queens Rep sack them? Ans; because Gough sought loans ;ie Kemlani of Arabic origin which defied the British Aristocracy monopoly on currency creation.In all reality the Arabic money has something of real wealth backing it;ie oil.
Labor are beyond being farcical.May they drown in the cesspool of their own making.
