“Kurt I hate to be a nuisance, but I am so thirsty. We had a 3-hour meeting discussing this new line of sutures and I probably talked for about 2 hours of it. It’s mostly just the legal aspect we are focusing on, possible cases that might be thrown at us and what not. So anyway, I would be ever so grateful if I could have something to drink, whatever you have available.”

Kurt went in the kitchen and purposely came back with only one glass. There was no way he would be sharing a drink with this man. After thanking him again, Darren took a sip and pounded on his chest.

“My God Kurt, this is ever so refreshing.” He went for it again and didn’t stop until the glass was empty. “I feel like I’ve just been brought back from the dead. Never have I had such a divinely intoxicating beverage. Do tell me Kurt, whatever do you call this magical potion of yours?”

Kurt stared flatly at Darren. “Grape soda.”

I saw him after the 1998 World Cup where he had called a controversial penalty kick against Brazil for Norway. This was a friendly at Foxboro on September 12, 1998 between the US and Mexico's women's team that the US won 9-0 although he wasn't the ref but rather was there for some kind of award. I shouted out to him as he walked by "اسی چاکریم!" but he either didn't hear me or chose not to respond. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/...-builder-award Esfandiar "Esse" Baharmast, a former referee, player, coach and current instructor who has been involved in more than a dozen World Cup tournaments and Olympic Games, has been named the 2020 winner of U.S. Soccer's prestigious Werner Fricker Builder Award.

The woman who allegedly opened fire at YouTube’s headquarters in a suburb of San Francisco, injuring three before killing herself, was apparently furious with the video website because it had stopped paying her for her clips. Police in California named the shooter as Nasim Najafi Aghdam. Aghdam was “upset with the policies and practices of YouTube”, San Bruno police chief Ed Barberini said at a press conference on Wednesday. “This appears to be the motive for this incident.” No evidence had been found linking her to any individuals at the company where she allegedly opened fire on Tuesday, he said. Police gave her age as 39 but her brother said she would have turned 38 on Wednesday. Two of the three shooting victims from the incident were released from the Zuckerberg San Francisco general hospital on Tuesday night. A third, a male in his 30s, is currently in “serious condition”, a hospital spokeswoman said Wednesday morning. A fourth victim had been injured, but not shot,...
