Aussie keeper Langerak tipped for debut  Former Melbourne Victory rookie goalkeeper Mitchell Langerak could make his German debut this weekend, when Dortmund travel to Bayern Munich in what shapes as the biggest match of the Bundesliga season.
Langerak has been the understudy between the sticks since moving to Borussia Dortmund in last year's off-season and reports in the German press say he is the likely replacement for first-choice keeper, Roman Weidenfeller, who injured his knee in training.
Dortmund are the runaway leaders, but Bayern Munich are third and desperate to atone for a poor start to their title defence, which sees them 13 points adrift from the top spot.
If selected, the 22-year-old former Young Socceroo will face one of the most potent attacks in world football, which stars the likes of Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Mario Gomez and Thomas Mueller.

As Berkshire Improves, Buffett Looks for More Deals According to the internet media,its all about the latest news and updates,internet media provided real hot topic information,that news latest updates is,Having posted its best earnings since before the financial crisis, Berkshire Hathaway is on the hunt for more deals, its chairman and chief executive, Warren E. Buffett, wrote in his widely anticipated annual letter to shareholders on Saturday.
Berkshire, the massive holding company that owns businesses as diverse as Geico and Burlington Northern Santa Fe, reported nearly $13 billion in earnings atop $136.2 billion in revenues last year, its best performance since 2007.
Berkshire’s book value, a figure of assets minus liabilities that Mr. Buffett says serves as a reasonable measure of the company’s performance, grew 13 percent last year, lagging the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index for the second consecutive year.
With the company’s existing businesses performing well, and its coffers now brimming with $38.2 billion in cash and equivalents, Mr. Buffett wrote in his letter that Berkshire is looking for more acquisitions.
“We’re prepared,” he wrote. “Our elephant gun has been reloaded, and my trigger finger is itchy.”
Few corporate letters are as eagerly tracked as Mr. Buffett’s, and the billionaire uses his epistles to expound upon Berkshire and the economy.

US targets tobacco companies According to the internet media,its all about the latest news and updates,internet media provided real hot topic information,that news latest updates is, Washington - The US Justice Department disclosed on Wednesday that it wants to require the tobacco industry to admit publicly that smoking causes a multitude of medical problems, killing 1 200 Americans every day.
The government proposed that a federal judge order the companies to say in advertisements that they lied to the public about the safety and dangers of smoking. “We falsely marketed low tar and light cigarettes as less harmful than regular cigarettes to keep people smoking and sustain our profits,” one of the government's proposed statements begins.
Philip Morris USA, maker of Marlboro, the nation's top-selling cigarette brand, and its parent company, Altria Group Inc, said the proposed statements go beyond factual and scientific information and that the Justice Department would compel the tobacco companies to admit wrongdoing under threat of contempt of court.
“Such a proposal is unprecedented in our legal system and would violate basic constitutional and statutory standards,” said Murray Garnick, Altria Client Services senior vice president and associate general counsel.

Rice Tries To Keep Momentum  According to the internet media,its all about the latest news and updates,internet media provided real hot topic information,that news latest updates is,
 The Owls have not had much success on the season, and it shows in the team's conference record which sits at 4-8. The Owls however, were able to get a victory last time out, clobbered Memphis over the weekend, 67-52, snapping their three-game losing skid.

The Mustangs were surging through the conference standings, riding high on a five-game winning streak, but that run has come and gone, and now the Mustangs are just trying to stay relevant in the conference. Since that five-game streak, the Mustangs have dropped two of their last three matchups, falling to 7-5 in league play. The recent loss, a 74-66 setback to Tulsa, was especially hard to swallow, because it came at Moody Coliseum where the team has claimed 12 of its 16 wins this year.

The Mustangs defeated Rice earlier this season, 75-68, and that win was the third straight for SMU against the Owls. With the recent run, SMU has extended its lead over the Owls in the all-time series to 117-74.
The Owls' up and down season can be attributed to the team's inability to find much consistency at the offensive end of the floor. Rice, which is averaging a lackluster 67.5 ppg on the year, is shooting a respectable 43.6 percent from the field, but the team's efforts from behind the arc have been erratic, as Rice is shooting at a 32.5 percent rate from long range. The last time Rice was on the floor the team only scored 67 points, but that was good enough to get the Owls past Memphis. Tamir Jackson, who is averaging 13.5 ppg on the year, led the way in the win with 20 points, while Arsalan Kazemi, the team's top performer (15.7 ppg and 11.5 rpg) finished with a double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds. Conner Frizzelle (10.8 ppg) also helped out in the win, netting 12 points in 29 minutes of action.

The Best Burger in America  It sounds like it from this rave review  in GQ, and looks like it from the photo.  Let's face it, it gets harder and harder to find a burger in this country with actual flavor. Our taste buds have been dumbed down by the likes of McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, and all the rest. We make a really good burger at the restaurant, but we use Black Angus beef, which still tastes like beef.  Imagine that.  This, on the other hand, sounds like heaven:
 Then I tasted the Umami Burger, Adam Fleischman's cross-cultural merger of Japanese ingenuity and American know-how. And I thought to myself, This is a man among burger men, worthy of our adulation even if he's always wearing a T-shirt with an Umami Burger logo. (These days, even the greats can't resist self-promotion.)
Fleischman, the founder of the modest but ever expanding four-shop Umami Burger chain, has rethought every element of the hamburger experience. The bun. The meat. The ketchup. The toppings. Even valet parking. Yes, at the original Umami Burger joint on La Brea, 900 square feet of utter simplicity across the road from a Goodwill store, every burger comes with parking, the ultimate in West Coast customer service.

Elsewhere in L.A., the burger world is in disarray. So desperate is the situation, so uncertain are the natives, that at least one establishment specializing in burgers is flying in chopped meat from the LaFrieda purveyors in Manhattan. The old L.A. order—In-N-Out Burger, Fatburger, Bob's Big Boy, Tommy's—is in retreat.

Tackling the marsh  According to the internet media,its all about the latest news and updates,internet media provided real hot topic information,that news latest updates is,
VENICE, La. — On the first day of practice for the 2011 Bassmaster Classic, at least a dozen competitors were launching from Venice Marina, a good two hour boat ride from New Orleans.With so much marsh in play, the anglers have a tough choice between spending their whole practice in one area, like Venice, or spreading out to cover two or three areas in hopes of finding the one that holds the winning concentration of bass.
"I'm planning on spending at least two days here in Venice," Tommy Biffle said. "I'll see what happens today. I think there will be quite a few anglers down here. If there are many people here in the tournament it could fish small, especially if guys find the same fish."
As much as the daunting size of the Louisiana Delta will challenge anglers, so too will the cold weather, at least for the next day or two. Chilly temperatures will keep the bass less active, making it harder for anglers to find the most productive spots.
"You might be in a good area and they just won't bite today," Biffle said. "Even if you don't get bites, if it looks good, you know there is going to be fish there. Wednesday is going to be a key day because the weather is going to warm up as part of a warming trend leading up to the Classic."

Halle and Gabriel: What Went Wrong?: Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry's battle for custody of their 2-year-old daughter Nahla has taken a turn for the seriously nasty. With a he-said-she-said argument raging in public, it's hard to tell what the actual truth is and why this even happened! Are there any astrological explanations to all of this?
Of course! The astrological monkey wrenches that could have triggered this are likely the mix of the Gemini full Moon eclipse and Saturn retrograde in Libra. Eclipses bring glitches to negotiations and hit Halle in her hopes and dreams house and Gabriel in his daily routines house -- shaking up both for a prolonged cycle. In addition, Saturn, the discipline planet, is retrograding in partnership with the Libra sign. This adds a tense angle to Gabriel's career/family axis and to Halle's communications/high-ideals axis. In other words, we have trouble!
While these astrological aspects may have lit a fire that was already sparking, they do not signify the outcome. It seems that a clear resolution to this conflict may not arise until mid-June, when Saturn eases its grip on relationship issues and when the next series of eclipses can help flush out the next round of communications.
