| 49ers coach was innovator
But Green had an unmistakable eye for coaching talent. With the Vikings, he hired Brian Billick, Mike Tice and Tony Dungy. In turn, Billick (who worked under Walsh for two seasons in the 49ers' public relations department) hired future Jacksonville Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio and coached with future Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis. Tice hired future St. Louis Rams coach Scott Linehan, while Dungy hired future Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith, future Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and future Detroit Lions coach Rod Marinelli.
GEORGE SEIFERT: Walsh's hand-picked successor with the 49ers after he retired, Seifert won two Super Bowls as San Francisco's head coach. Hired by Walsh in 1980 as a position coach and later defensive coordinator, Seifert helped start the coaching careers of future Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan and Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher, and Shanahan passed some of that knowledge on to Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak.
Zuma's speech not sabotaged: SABC
The ANC Youth League said in a statement on Sunday that the public broadcaster "t[a]mpered" with the audio during Zuma's address at the party's 96th anniversary rally in Atteridgville in Gauteng. This after most of the broadcast, on radio and television, was marred by badly distorted sound. "We call on SABC to accept the fact that its agenda was defeated in Polokwane and should adapt and accept that there is new leadership in the ANC or face the consequence of its actions. No amount of sabotage will ever move this reality," the league statement said. .

How the SNP spent its way to victory
On April 20, the party paid a £2,300 bill at top Edinburgh restaurant Oloroso to pay for a breakfast attended by the leaders of Scotland's business community. A few days later, Salmond hired a helicopter to ferry him across the country. The bill came to £18,375. The SNP even had the funds to spend £800 on a "bespoke lectern" from which Salmond was able to turn on the charm. A further £456 went on six "Tony Blair masks". Then, at a pre-election party in Glasgow a week before polling day, the party spent £4,507 to hire big-name act Sandi Thom to perform. Bearing in mind the need for Salmond and his male colleagues to show a smart face, the party also spent £3,643 at Slaters department store. And on polling day itself, the money continued to stream out of the door, with £12,000 spent paying 40 "agents" whose job it was to "knock up" potential voters who the SNP believed would support them at the last.
Bottled Water Boycotts: Back-to-the-Tap Movement Gains Momentum
From San Francisco to New York to Paris, city governments, high-class restaurants, schools, and religious groups are ditching bottled water in favor of what comes out of the faucet. With people no longer content to pay 1,000 times as much for bottled water, a product no better than water from the tap, a backlash against bottled water is growing. The U.S. Conference of Mayors, which represents some 1,100 American cities, discussed at its June 2007 meeting the irony of purchasing bottled water for city employees and for city functions while at the same time touting the quality of municipal water. The group passed a resolution sponsored by Mayors Gavin Newsom of San Francisco, Rocky Anderson of Salt Lake City, and R. T. Rybak of Minneapolis that called for the examination of bottled water's environmental impact.
