Dames Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit Laag Roze Sale , July 24 (Xinhua) -- Australian footballer Brent Harvey will on Saturday become just the fourth Australian Football League (AFL) player in the competition's 118-year history to reach the coveted 400-game milestone.
North Melbourne player Harvey, 37, will take to the field in his 400th match, having played every one with the Kangaroos, against the Brisbane Lions in Brisbane on Saturday night, a milestone made all the more remarkable by his diminutive stature.
At 167cm
Heren Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit Laag Donker Grijs Sale , Harvey is the shortest player in the AFL (along with Western Bulldogs rookie Caleb Daniel) and, in a highly physical sport where the average player stands 188cm, he has been able to make up for his lack of height with great speed, endurance and evasive skills.
Until Daniel began his AFL career this season, Harvey held the mantle as the league's smallest player for 12 years.
He joins current Essendon stalwart Dustin Fletcher and former players, Hawthorn's Michael Tuck and Richmond's Kevin Bartlett
Nike Air Force 1 Laag Heren Strata Grijs Sale , as the only other men to achieve the feat, something that Harvey says is unlikely to happen again.
"I think 400 is a milestone that won't happen again. I honestly believe that I'll be the last player to do that," Harvey told AFL. com.au this week.
"(I don't mean) to sound big-headed or anything like that, but the game has changed so much and certainly if I had started 10 years ago I wouldn't be playing 400 games, there's no way known."
Harvey said the professionalization of the sport meant players would be unable to play more than 20 games per season, for nearly 20 seasons.
WASHINGTON
Heren Nike Air Force 1 Laag Wit Pine Groen Sale , Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- In her first testimony to the Congress, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen reiterated central bank's plan to taper its stimulus exit despite recent weakness in the economy.
The current economic situation and outlook, as well as the monetary policy, were the main focus of the hearing held twice a year.
Yellen told lawmakers she expected "a great deal of continuity" in the central bank's monetary policy, saying that she served on the Fed policy-setting committee as the bank formulated its current policy strategy and she strongly supported that strategy.
Yellen, 67
Heren Nike Air Force 1 SF AF1 Mid Boots Ivory Sale , took the oath of office to lead the Federal Reserve System on Feb. 3, succeeding Ben Bernanke, who stepped down after eight turbulent years. She was previously the Fed's vice Chair.
In the public debut in her new role, Yellen said while the economy gained steam at the end of 2013, recovery in the U.S. labor market was "far from complete," underscoring the importance of considering more than just the unemployment rate when evaluating the conditions of the labor market.
Her point of keeping an eye on wider range of labor indicators is particularly important as the unemployment rate
Dames Nike Air Force 1 Hoog X girl Rood Sale , now at 6.6 percent, is near the 6.5 percent threshold the Fed once identified as the level that would need to be reached before officials would consider a hike in the interest rates.
"If coming information broadly supports the Committee's expectation of ongoing improvement in labor market conditions and inflation moving back toward its long-run objective, the Committee will likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in further measured steps at future meetings," Yellen indicated steady pullback in Fed stimulus, referring to the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy.
While admitting she was "surprised" by the two recent jobs reports that showed the pace of job creation running under what she had expected
Nike Air Force 1 HI Supreme Le Zwart Goud Sale , Yellen cautioned against jumping to conclusions of the longer trend. She told the Congress that the Fed needs to see a "notable change" in the economic outlook to consider pausing its withdrawal of stimulus.
The Fed trimmed its monthly purchases of Treasury and mortgage- backed securities by a total of 10 billion dollars in both December and January, citing strengthening economy and continued improvement in the labor market.
The Fed policymakers have suggested they would continue to reduce the bond buying, which now totals 65 billion dollars a month, at a similar pace at each Fed meeting and end it by the end of 2014, provided the economy develops generally in line with expectations.
Yellen also highlighted the Fed's financial regulatory role, saying that the work of making the financial system more robust " has not yet been completed."

Heren Nike Air Force 1 Hoog Supreme SP Wit Zwart Sale , March 16 (Xinhua) -- China plans to appoint a number of primary and middle schools as specialist football academies and offer them extra funding and policy support, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced on Wednesday.

LOS ANGELES, July 16 (Xinhua) -- Thanks to an amplified image produced by a gravitational lens and the Gran Telescopio CANARIAS, a team of scientists have discovered one of the brightest galaxies known from the epoch when the universe had 20 percent of its present age.
The discovery, recently published in an article in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, shows that the distant galaxy is about a thousand times brighter than the Milky Way.
