| Bitter end: Vukovic faces ban
The match review committee is expected to make a decision on the incident today. The Mariners were livid when a penalty wasn't awarded. After abusing the touch judge, Aloisi stormed up the tunnel to the dressing-room when full-time blew, before coming back down for the presentation ceremony. Central Coast went into overdrive in attack after Newcastle's goal and McKinna rang in the changes in the desperate search for an equaliser, sending Andre Gumprecht and Tom Pondeljak on in a double change in the 69th minute and sacrificing Vidmar for an attacker - Matt Simon - in the 79th. .

Porsche Tightens Grip on VW's Wheel
Since the surprise resignation of Volkswagen CEO Bernd Pischetsrieder Nov. 7, Supervisory Board Chairman Ferdinand Piech has tightened his control over VW almost daily. Porsche, which is controlled by Piech and his family, increased its stake in VW duing the past week from 21% to 27.45%. Today Porsche announced it aims to boost its holding to 29.9%. Call it the "going private" of Volkswagen. For the past year, Piech has been engaged in a pitched battle to wrest control of the company from state hands — namely the State of Lower Saxony, which owns 20% and has long reigned as VW's largest shareholder. And Piech, the wily engineer and grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, is now close to winning. For those not up to speed on Germany's most riveting industrial drama, Piech launched his attack a year ago, using his family's control over Porsche to nab a controlling 21.3% share in Volkswagen for some $4 billion.

Could Newt Be the GOP Dark Horse?
They don't like McCain. Most probably they support either Huckabee or Romney. Although they think Rudy is gone, he could come back however, if he wins in Florida next Tuesday. If Huckabee is finished, I think they go to Romney, who is somewhat more conservative than the rest. At any rate, conservatives could be faced with backing either McCain, or Romney, or Huckabee or even Rudy. Or they could end up backing none of them. Who then could conservatives end up backing? Well, who recently has come out with a new book? Who's doing all the shows talking about his new book? Who is advocating common sense solutions to the most pressing problems America faces? Newt Gingrich, that's who.
