Portugal has been placed in the FIFA 2010 World Cup’s Group of Death, alongside Brazil, Ivory Coast and North Korea.
A group of death in a multi-stage tournament is a preliminary group which is unusually competitive, because the number of strong competitors in the group is greater than the number of qualifying places available for the next phase of the tournament. Thus, in the preliminary round, one or more strong competitors in the “group of death” will necessarily be eliminated, who would otherwise have been expected to progress further in the tournament. The informal term was first used for groups in the FIFA World Cup finals. It is now used by also in other association football tournaments and other sports.

The Herschel Space Observatory has made a major finding — a hole in space.
The hole is close to a triple star system called V38O Ori. NASA scientists said the hole appears to have been created when one of the three stars in the system launched a jet of radiation, creating a gap in the swirl of gas and dust that contains fledgling stars. They also theorize that jets and stellar radiation from other stars contributed to the gap.
“No one has ever seen a hole like this,” said Tom Megeath of the University of Toledo, Ohio, in a written statement. “It’s as surprising as knowing you have worms tunneling under your lawn, but finding one morning that they have created a huge, yawning pit.” Megeath is the principal investigator of the research and works in conjunction with NASA.

that same boy who stood by the sea
and watched you tower over me
now I’m older I wanna be the same as you”
Fathers Day Quote by: Yellowcard
A father is someone that
holds your hand at the fair
makes sure you do what your mother says
holds back your hair when you are sick
brushes that hair when it is tangled because mother is too busy
lets you eat ice cream for breakfast
but only when mother is away
he walks you down the aisle
and tells you everythings gonna be ok

Fathers Day Quote by: Samuel Johnson

Fathers Day Quote by: Knights of Pythagoras
—————————————————————-
“When a child is born, a father is born. A mother is born, too of course, but at least for her it’s a gradual process. Body and soul, she has nine months to get used to what’s happening. She becomes what’s happening. But for even the best-prepared father, it happens all at once. On the other side of a plate-glass window, a nurse is holding up something roughly the size of a loaf of bread for him to see for the first time.
Fathers Day Quote by: Frederick Buechner, ‘Whistling in the Dark’
