During his 22-month tenure, El-Erian was tasked with bringing stability to an organization rocked by the 2005 departure of its long-time CEO Jack R. Meyer, who left with a large fraction of HMC's staff amid heated criticism over multimillion dollar compensation packages for him and his top money managers. Meyer and several of his former lieutenants now run the Boston-based hedge fund Convexity Capital Management...
...places in educational institutes and legislatures, as well as government jobs for certain "scheduled" castes and tribes. The Dhangar are a "scheduled tribe" in Maharashtra, but they accuse government officials of taking advantage of a transliteration error to deny them their due.

But Turkey was tiring, backing up, and in Rüstü, the second-choice keeper, the net was vulnerable. So it seemed almost inevitable that Germany would strike with a long ball to Miroslav Klose in the 79th minute that Rüstü completely botched and Klose didn't. His header put Germany in front, but as it has been most of the tournament, falling behind is merely a signal to Turkey to start...
