Save on every ticket. Guaranteed.
Entering 2012, most pundits believed the Minnesota Vikings were ticketed for a rebuilding year. After all, franchise cornerstone Adrian Peterson was coming off major knee surgery and couldn't be expected to play up to his standards... So what happened? ADP exceeded his own lofty expectations and came within 9 yards of breaking the all-time record for rushing yards on his way to being named AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year and MVP. Oh, and that whole "rebuilding season"? Not so much. The Vikings shocked the NFL by going 10-6 and making the playoffs.
Reloaded in 2013
After a season-long rift with head coach Leslie Frazier, Percy Harvin was traded to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a bounty of draft picks that set the Vikings up for the future. In his place steps longtime Green Bay Packers star Greg Jennings who will line up alongside a healthy Jerome Simpson and a potential superstar in rookie 1st rounder Cordarrelle Patterson. With Kyle Rudolph at Tight End and the aforementioned Adrian Peterson running through people, third year QB Christian Ponder has everything he needs to take the next step in his evolution.
The defense begins and ends with Jared Allen. With a big personality to match his presence on the field, Allen recorded 12 sacks in 2012 despite a torn labrum. In a stacked NFC North that features some of the most potent offenses in the NFL, the Vikings will need Allen and a group of up-and-coming defensive linemen to attack the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Jay Cutler and Matt Stafford.
Save on Minnesota Vikings tickets
In one of the strongest divisions in football, the Minnesota Vikings have their hands full with the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, and Detroit Lions. But with a transcendent player like Adrian Peterson capable of making history on any given snap, there are no limits to what the Vikings can achieve in 2013. Get into ScoreBig today to lock in guaranteed savings on Vikings tickets.

Barry Edelstein (Director, Old Globe Artistic Director) is a stage director, producer, author and educator. Widely recognized as one of the leading authorities on the works of Shakespeare in the United States, he has directed nearly half of the Bard's works. As Director of the Shakespeare Initiative at The Public Theater (2008-2012), he oversaw all of the company's Shakespearean productions, as well as its extensive educational, community outreach and artist-training programs. At The Public, Mr. Edelstein staged Julius Caesar starring Jeffrey Wright for Shakespeare in the Park and The Merchant of Venice featuring Ron Leibman's Obie Award-winning portrayal of Shylock. He was also Associate Producer of The Public's Broadway production of The Merchant of Venice starring Al Pacino. From 1998-2003 he was Artistic Director of Classic Stage Company. Mr. Edelstein's Shakespearean directorial credits include productions of The Winter's Tale with David Strathairn, Timon of Athens with Richard Thomas, As You Like It with Gwyneth Paltrow and Richard III with John Turturro. His additional credits include the Lucille Lortel Award-winning revival of All My Sons; the world premiere of Steve Martin's The Underpants; Molière's The Misanthrope starring Uma Thurman; and the world premiere of Nathan Englander's The Twenty-Seventh Man. He has also directed new and classical work extensively at regional theatres around the USA. His book Thinking Shakespeare (called by New York magazine "a must-read for actors") was published in 2007 and is now the standard text on American Shakespearean acting. He is also the author of Bardisms: Shakespeare for All Occasions. Mr. Edelstein is a graduate of Oxford University, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar.

NSW Swifts produced a dominant display to despatch a hapless Southern Steel 65-52 in an historic Anzac day clash in Canberra on Friday.
SWIFTS defender April Letton will allow herself a moment tomorrow to reflect on the significance of the occasion.
THE Melbourne Vixens and Kia Magic have opened up a two-game break at the top of the ANZ Championship ladder at the end of Round 8 of the ANZ Championship.
A punchy start and another assertive shooting performance by Jhaniele Fowler-Reid gave the Steel a resounding 77-61 victory over the Tactix in the southern showdown tonight.
Kia Magic were forced to repel a spirited Northern Mystics challenge before posting a 56-50 win to retain second place on the points table, in Hamilton on Sunday.

Juneau Hosts Mine Rescue Competition
Published: 05/26/2011 03:39:35
The Central Mine Rescue group holds a competition every year to put team's skills to the test. This is the competition's 27th year, and last week it came to Alaska for the first time.
Joshua Murrell of the POGO Mine Rescue Team, based just outside Fairbanks told us about the event: "We have teams from Idaho, Washington, a team from Russia this year, 3 teams from Alaska.
Our role in mining; we're all miners, but we kind of volunteer our time so that if something ever goes wrong; we're the first ones in, last ones out. That's kind of the motto for most teams."
The competition sends each team into a simulated scenario that puts all their skills to the test.
Tim South is the Captain of Coeur's Mine Rescue Team. He explained how the teams work: "This exercise we go through, I have to check the area and make sure it's safe for my team to enter, entering smoke; making sure that all apparatus is operating properly in smoke, and general safety of the team; that's my first priority. And my 2nd priority is recovering any people, or bodies. And 3rd would be to extinguish all fires and recover the mine.
Teams set it up the way they like it; my map man is right behind me, mapping everything we come encounter with. Behind him would be the gas man, he just helps me read all the gas readings and makes sure that we don't come in contact with any toxic gases. The 3rd man in line would be my medic, who would, if I have somebody that's going down; a victim, a team member; he'll check them, take care of them. And last is the co-captain who would bring up the rear and take my place if something happens."
The teams also have members stationed above ground to help the team below with a 2nd map and other tasks like checking gas readings at vents.
Mine rescue teams train regularly so they are ready at a moment's notice.
"We do this because it's a good opportunity for all the teams in this area, Central Mine Rescue; to get together, get to know one another, in case one of our mines anywhere in the north-west has a problem, we can all come together and work together and save anybody we can" South said.

Visiting LA and want the ultimate Hollywood vacation experience?
Then you are invited to stay with me, and Flash Gordon (the turtle!), at 3 Degrees, HOLLYWOOD in a unique setting in the tranquil hills of Beachwood Canyon, right in front of the Hollywood Sign, with spectacular views from the hills to the Downtown Skyline, yet only 5 minutes from the heart of buzzing Hollywood in close proximity to all your tourist needs and sights.
My home is a large, 3 bedroom, 2 full bathroom, private HOUSE (not apartment) surrounded by
gardens, decks, and patios. Choose from different configurations to suit your needs and the size of your group: individual bedrooms with shared use of the rest of the house, or exclusive use of the whole entire house and surrounding yards (whereby I move out during your stay). The house has a very large, fully equipped kitchen, a well-appointed dining room, a large living room complete with an HD Home Theatre in Dolby and DTS Surround including HD Satellite, Blu-Ray, Xbox, and even a PAL dvd player, a sitting area around the fireplace and piano, 2 full bathrooms (a guest bathroom suite with separate commode room and shower area, and a master bathroom), a secluded back patio with a barbeque grill, and a huge front deck for outdoor dining and luxury lounging with breathtaking, sweeping vistas of Downtown, the historic Hollywood Hills, Griffith Observatory, and the Hollywood Sign!
Bedroom #1 has a queen sized bed (sleeps 2), desks, radio/alarm clock, HD Satellite TV, and offers panoramic views, with French doors directly onto the front deck providing the aforementioned weeping views from outside and inside the bedroom.
Bedroom #2 has a queen sized bed (sleeps 2), a desk complete with alarm clock, Satellite TV, and closet with built in drawers. This room is situated in the rear of the house and offers views onto the candle-lit secluded and shaded garden patio.
Bedroom #3 (the master bedroom) where normally I reside, has a king sized bed (sleeps 2…and ½ :-)), and desks complete with a Home Theatre in Dolby Surround including HD Satellite TV and DVD.
So, the configurations and pricing break down thusly:
– One-Bedroom configuration with Bedroom #1, exclusive use of the guest bathroom suite, and shared use of the rest of the house and surrounding property. $125/NIGHT
– One-Bedroom configuration with Bedroom #2, shared use of the master bathroom, and shared use of the rest of the house and surrounding property. $110/NIGHT
– Two-Bedroom configuration with Bedroom #1 and #2, exclusive use of the guest bathroom suite, shared use of the master bathroom, and shared use the house and surrounding property. $235/NIGHT
– Three-Bedroom configuration with exclusive use of the whole ENTIRE HOUSE, including both the guest bathroom suite and the master bathroom the master bedroom and master bath. $500/NIGHT

All linens and towels, blackout shades and curtains in each bedroom, full use of the kitchen facilities, use of clothes washer and dryer, SUPERFAST high speed internet (35meg download and 5meg upload) via wall jacks or Wi-Fi, and Satellite TV including Euronews.
You'll be in a private house and garden in the fairy-tale realm of the Hollywood Hills, under the Hollywood Sign, on a quiet, picturesque mountain road, where deer eat fruit off the trees. Yet within walking distance at the base of the hill is a village with all kinds of great cafes and restaurants, and just a few blocks further is the cosmopolitan urban center of Hollywood and Vine including subway access to Downtown, Pasadena, Chinatown, Universal Studios, to name a few. So many of the major tourist attractions are right here in Hollywood and its immediate area (the Cirque du Soliel show "IRIS" at the Dolby theatre where the Academy Awards are, the footprints in cement at The Chinese Theatre, the Griffith Observatory and museum, Griffith Park and the LA Zoo, the many fantastic restaurants and nightclubs, the Pantages Theatre for a Broadway Show, the Grove and historic Farmers market, the Movie Studios, LACMA and other museums, etc.), AND the location is equidistant to all the rest of the points of Greater Los Angeles: west to the Beaches (Santa Monica especially the promenade and Santa Monica Place, Venice, Malibu, Laguna with its Art Walk, etc.), Beverly Hills (Rodeo Drive, the Getty, etc.), West Hollywood, etc.; south to Downtown, the Disneyland Resort (Disneyland Park, California Adventure Park, and Downtown Disney), Catalina Island, etc.; north to Universal, Warner Bros, Magic Mountain, Outlet shopping, etc... Moreover, I provide a wealth of travel/tourist and historic information on Hollywood and the greater Los Angeles area and to offer all the advice and guidance you may need, and more importantly, discounts for most of the things that you would be doing.

I decided to spend my 46th birthday shopping and doing the touristy thing in LA. After a quick google search I found Vinnie's place via the Roomarama site. Being new to this sort of on - line accommodation I was a little anxious but my nervous were quickly put at ease the moment I meet Vinnie. What a cool experience! Vinnie was super friendly and gave me all sorts of info for great shopping, restaurants and things to do in LA. My dog Chipper was welcome and we both had the best birthday. I'd recommend Vinnie's home to anyone and we will be back for sure! Thank you so much :)

This house is amaizing! Great views! Vincenzo is very Hospitable and attentive! He met us himself and gave all the information about the city we needed. Wi-Fi is fast and free! Parking is available for free! It was a great experiense of visiting Hollywood
Gcharl28 December 08, 2011
I had the best time staying with Vincenzo and would recommend 3 Degrees Hollywood to anyone. It is a great location, lovely and comfortable house, and Vincenzo is a great tour guide if you ever need any suggestions of place to visit whilst in LA.
Daniel_i September 17, 2011
Vincenzo and Robert were very helpfull, accomodating and very, very, very friendly hosts! I guess there's no better place to be if you want to visit LA...only to sit down on the patio and to enjoy the view over downtown and the Hollywood sign at once is worth a trip! Also you could walk directly to Hollywood where you can find a lot of hip bars and clubs...I recommend the "El Floridita", a nice Salsabar with livemusic and cheap and very delicious mojitos! We thank you for your hospitality and if we come back one day we'll contact you for sure! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT! Greets from Germany. Susi and Daniel

Throughout the past year, the band has been enjoying continued success and increased visibility, appearing on The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien, The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, FOX News Channel's Huckabee, Hannity, Fox & Friends, PBS Soundstage and more.
The band was recently inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Their classic and beloved American rock anthem "Sweet Home Alabama" has surpassed the two million mark in downloaded ringtones. With a catalog of over 60 albums and sales beyond 30 million, Lynyrd Skynyrd remains a major cultural icon that appeals to all generations.

look i don't know how i am going to do this, but i am trying to help some people out, it will mean alot, so if anyone who runs this site or someone who could get in contact with the band somehow please read the following.
The band is going to be in Va. Beach on the 20th....this family who lost a 16 year old boy due toa car wreck are huge fans and will be at the show...i will be with them cuz im a huge fan as well...anyhow the boys sister is my olo lady and we thaught it would be cool if the band could dedicate the song simple man to the memory of joey fonseca...over 2000 people in the virginia beach community showed up to his funeral so there will be quite a few there who have heard of the boy...he was a good kid and a fan as well, there could even be a message about drinking and driving, underage drinking, or wearing seatbelts...a seatbelt would've saved him.
The Infidel // May 19, 2010 8:11:53 AM UTC
Is there any unreleased archival music featuring Lynyrd Skynyrd members Bob Burns, Ed King, Steve Gaines and others that will be released as new music? I would love to hear it if it exist. Especially any studio or live recordings that could be released as stand alone or dubbed with the current Skynyrd band filling in where needed. Rock On.
Semper Fi
gregmasciola // May 14, 2010 1:42:37 AM UTC
Don't take this the wrong way, but we've already had several live DVD or CD releases with these tracks. I would rather have them put out a new live album with performances of most of their newer songs included.
I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining, I'm just saying that we've already got several live versions of these songs, so this live album doesn't sound like much of a new treat.
rosebb // May 13, 2010 11:30:38 AM UTC
I belive the tour dates shown in the article above are incorrect. at least I hope so as I am going to the Darien Lake show on July 3.
Please amend.

Stores borrow from fast-food industrys playbookBy MAE ANDERSON
The Associated Press | November 22,2012AP Photo
People line up outside Toys R Us as Black Friday sales begin in Royal Palm Beach, Fla.NEW YORK This holiday season, Burger King wont be the only place where you can have it your way.
It used to be enough for stores to promise discounts of up to 70 percent off to lure shoppers during the busy holiday shopping season. But the ease of ordering online and the sluggish economy has created more demanding U.S. consumers who arent impressed by discounts alone. They want their shopping just like their fast food: not only cheap, but convenient too.
That means theyre no longer afraid to walk away from the cashmere sweater with the perfect fit if the store is crowded. Theyre also unwilling to buy those suede pumps that are just the right shade of blue if they have to pay to get them shipped. And they cringe at the prospect of carrying around a bunch of paper coupons; theyd rather be able to pull them up electronically on their smartphones.
Retailers from discounter Wal-Mart to department-store chain Macys are doing everything they can to make it easier for this new crop of finicky shoppers to spend their money during the busy holiday shopping season. Several are opening on Thanksgiving Day. Some are offering free layaways and shipping. Many are matching in-store prices with cheaper online deals. And others are allowing shoppers to buy online and pick up their merchandise in stores.
Its the latest effort by stores to court shoppers like Patty Edwards. Four years ago, Edwards, who lives in Bellevue, Wash., bought all of her holiday purchases at online retailer Amazon.com because she thought it was the easiest way to shop. But this year, she plans to shop elsewhere because there are stores are offering more shipping options.
Now Im not necessarily tied to Amazon, said Edwards, a retail analyst and principal at investment firm Trutina Financial. I can go to Nordstrom, Saks or Target and have stuff available to pick up. Its a pretty simple process. That wasnt the case four or five years ago.
The have-it-your-way approach is partly a response by merchants to their fear that shoppers will spend less freely this season over worries about high unemployment and a package of tax increases and spending cuts known as the fiscal cliff that will take effect in January unless Congress passes a budget deal by then. It also comes as the growth of smartphones and tablet computers have made it easier for shoppers to browse and buy with the touch of their fingertips. No need to battle long lines at The Gap when you can just Google what you want.
That puts pressure on brick-and-mortar retailers, which count on the holiday shopping season for up to 40 percent of their annual revenue, to find ways to get shoppers into their physical stores. Thats becoming an increasingly difficult feat: The National Retail Federation, an industry trade group, estimates that overall sales in November and December will rise 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion, or about flat with last years growth. Meanwhile, online sales are expected to rise 15 percent to $68.4 billion, according to Forrester Research.
Retailers have to do a little more to grow sales this year, said Frank Badillo, a senior economist at consultancy Kantar Retail.
This isnt the first time stores have had to up the ante. Big sales and door busters like deeply discounted TVs used to be the hallmark of the winter holiday shopping rush. But stores noticed over the last several years that Americans were cutting back on spending during the economic downturn, so they ramped up their discounting even more.
Shoppers became addicted to the ever bigger sales. And they began fleeing to online retailers, which can offer much cheaper prices than brick-and-mortar stores because they dont have the overhead costs of operating physical locations. Shoppers also began to appreciate something else about online retailers: They offer them the convenience of being able to shop within the comfort of their homes or office cubicles.
To better compete, brick-and-mortar stores figured that theyd have to replicate their online rivals formula. Shopping in stores needs to be cheap and easy, they figured. So stores began trying new ways to make shopping more convenient last year, such as free shipping and expanded hours. But this holiday season, theyve expanded the scope and scale of those incentives to include:
Expanded hours
Stores typically open in the wee hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving Day known as Black Friday. Its typically the biggest shopping day of the year. But the Black Friday openings have crept earlier and earlier over the past few years, with retailers such as Macys Inc. opening stores at midnight. This season, some stores have expanded their hours even more: department-store chain Sears, toy-store chain Toys R Us, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and others are opening on Thanksgiving to grab those who want to shop after their turkey dinner.
We saw a shift in how customers are shopping last year, says Ron Boire, Sears chief merchandising officer. Members told us some of them want to stay up late. Others like the idea of getting out early.
Shipping & returns
About 44 percent of retailers are offering free shipping this year, a jump from 12.5 percent last year, said Vicki Cantrell, executive director of Shop.org, the National Retail Federations digital retail division. And package delivery company UPS, which commissioned a customer service study with research firm comScore, said retailers also are working to make returns easier, by including return labels in packages or providing a link online that customers can use to print labels out. Additionally, some stores, including consumer-electronics retailer Best Buy Co., Toys R Us and Wal-Mart, are offering customers the option of ordering online and then picking up their merchandise in stores.
Danny de Gracia, 32, a political scientist in Honolulu, Hawaii, likes to use stores buy online, pick up in store option to avoid the hassle and crowds in stores. He said it allows him to just run in and grab his purchases. Gracia, who said he plans to spend no more than $1,000 this holiday season, last used the service to buy a Sony digital camera for his father at Best Buy.
Its easier because when youre in the physical store sometimes you have to stop, ask questions and get assistance, he said. With stores that offer online shopping you can simply search the site, read up and compare options and then purchase, pick up and leave ... Its an outstanding service that I utilize whenever possible. I wish that it would be available for groceries.
Programs that allow customers to pay over a period of weeks have long been used for some holiday shoppers. But typically, shoppers have to pay a fee for these so-called layaways. This year, Wal-Mart lowered the fee it charges customers on its holiday layaway program from $15 to $5. And Sears and discount chain Kmart, both divisions of Sears Holdings Corp., ditched the fee they charge completely. The two stores previously had charged $5 for an 8-week layaway and $10 for 12 weeks.
Price matching
While small mom-and-pop stores long have offered to match the cheaper prices that customers find online, this year big merchants such as Target and Best Buy have said that they also will do that. The move is an attempt to combat the growth of so-called showrooming, when customers look at merchandise in stores but buy it cheaper online.
Forrester Research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru said that the online price-matching programs are an attempt by brick-and-mortar stores to keep customers. The increasing price transparency were seeing online is something brick-and-mortar stores have to deal with and deal with it directly, she said.
Shopping apps
Shopping apps for smartphones and tablets have been around for a few years, but this year retailers are beefing them up. For instance, Macys is launching a Black Friday portion of its mobile app, which highlights Black Friday specials and other deals not advertised elsewhere. It also will have maps and information about where in each store Black Friday deals can be found.
The shopping apps are an attempt by brick-and-mortar retailers to hook shoppers like Stefanie Scott, 35, in Greenfield, Wis. Scott, who plans to spend $1,000 to $2,000 on gifts this year, starts her holiday shopping ritual by first checking out deals on Facebook.
Then, she brings her smartphone along on shopping trips and uses mobile apps to get discounts once shes in the store. Shes also a fan of the buy online, pick up in store offers, and recently used one at Best Buy to buy a videogame for her brother-in-law.
Im tied to my cellphone, she says. Coupons and lists get lost in my purse. Its so much easier when Im shopping to whip out my cellphone and have them scan it.

Few students from this Carroll County get to attend "The No. 1 high school in the nation," but Linda Aguazul, a senior this year at The Carol Martin Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science, was born and raised here.
Gatton Academy was recently named the top high school in the United States by Newsweek magazine, according to the Newsweek website. Gatton is located on the campus of Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Ky.

If you were to meet the Cary family, you wouldn't know that four of their seven children are foster kids.
Chris and Konnie Cary, of Carrollton, are parents to Joel, 14, Sarah, 11, Jacob, 11, Levi, 8, Gage, 6, Jordyn, 5, and Max, 2.
They all work and play together like siblings, even though Jacob and the three youngest are only living with them temporarily.
Have you met Tom Turner? If you have, you may not recognize him, now. No one else does.
The 66-year-old former welding teacher at the Carroll County Area Technology Center recently lost 270 pounds. He is a man of many talents, who not only enjoys gardening, hunting, fishing and cooking, but was also an accomplished ballroom dancer for years.
Tom taught at the vocational school from 1987 until he retired in 2003. He moved back to Carrollton in December.
Baby bottles, diapers and day care. These are things Melissa Walker thought she was done with. She and her husband, George, have an 11-year-old son, Jeremy. She also has two stepchildren who are in their 20s and do not live at home.
But about two years ago, the family dynamic changed when they began raising their granddaughter, Audrey, who is now 2 1/2 years old.
A new face at Perry Park Golf Resort in Owen County will be familiar to many in Carroll County.
Steven Wallace, a 2000 graduate of Carroll County High School, was recently hired as the golf pro at the resort; not bad for someone who did not become interested in golf until his senior year at CCHS.
"I was not very good at that time," he admitted Friday. He also played basketball and baseball for CCHS, but his senior year opted out of baseball in favor of golf.
There's a new face attending to patients at Carroll County Family Practice.
Dr. Milagros Rivera began working at the practice, located in Carroll County Memorial Hospital, about two weeks ago after more than 13 years as a physician in the Louisville metropolitan area.
Rivera, who is fluent in Spanish, has a passion for family practice and hopes to help members of the local Hispanic community.
Music has been a part of Helen Mumphrey's life since she began "piddling around on the piano" at age 3.
At age 9, she began taking piano lessons with Mrs. Dewey Akers.
"At that time, it was 75 cents a half hour," Mumphrey recalls. "It was still hard to come up with it, but my mother did. She made sure I got that training."
Though she learned to read music, she initially learned to play the songs she was taught by memorizing the movements of Mrs. Akers' hands when she introduced each piece of music.
Karen Pribble does not know a stranger. If you have made a late-night trip to Carrollton's Walmart in the last few years, she probably greeted you at the front door or in the checkout lane with a friendly smile and a "How are you?"
"He's tougher than a pine knot."
That's John Boots' assessment of his grandson, Colston, 11, who lives with his family in their Harbor Point home in Carrollton.
Colston Boots, a sixth-grader at Carroll County Middle School, is a rising star on the dirt-bike racing circuit, competing in – and winning – competitions on tracks throughout Kentuckiana.
Worthville resident Joe Dickerson loves his country, the military and teaching young people. A Navy veteran, he now spends most of his time leading high school and middle school students in the Carroll County Honor Guard, a group that proudly presents the nation's colors and armed service flags at parades, high school sporting events and ceremonies.

Remember your first day at high school? The excitement and the anxiety feeding off each other, the desperate need for a group to belong to, the sense that you'd come a very long way in the six weeks since you'd left primary school, a new optimism and an enthusiasm to get on with it.
If you care to feel those vibes again take a seat in your council's public gallery at the first meeting after the local government elections in just under three weeks. The newbies couldn't be more obvious if they were wearing a purple mohawk.
I have watched many councillors take their seat at the chamber table for the first time, and always I wonder why they are there. And I have learnt from asking that question of many that very few give you an answer that reflects the reality.
Most will say that they want to give something back to the community, which is as reliable as suddenly resigning politicians assuring us all that they're leaving to spend more time with their family.
Just over four years ago when a friend, Mike King, told me over a beer that he was thinking about standing for election to Newcastle City Council, I asked him why. He was as idealistic as the rest of them, as earnest as the rest of them when he told me he believed with his background in management and finance he could help achieve a better outcome for residents.
He was mad, I told him. Newcastle council was an incessant political brawl that dragged everyone around the table down to the standing of a brawler, but Mike was adamant that he would not become involved in politics.
Mike was elected, on the Aaron Buman ticket, and while he is on the Buman ticket again this time it is, he insists, simply to make up the numbers, that he is in an unwinnable position.
He leaves disappointed by the political shenanigans of the council, and it has appeared to me that Mike, and others among the new councillors glowing with idealism, became players in those shenanigans, drawn perhaps unwillingly but inexorably into the politics that seems always to blight Newcastle council. I saw their obsessive pursuit of lord mayor John Tate as political, as something other than getting on with the job, while they may see it as meeting their responsibilities.
In three decades of watching Newcastle council I don't think I've seen a councillor, or alderman as they were once known, who didn't become bogged in the politics.
But it seems I am wrong when I see incessant brawling as a reason not to seek election as a councillor. No council in the Hunter, and perhaps in NSW, has been so blighted by political savagery in the past four years than that of Cessnock, yet 79 people are seeking to join the conflict! Only that other torrid arena, Newcastle council, has more candidates in the Hunter, with 81.
Most, if not all, those seeking election to Cessnock council will say they are going to clean it up, and even some of those under the banner of a political party will eschew politics. Yes, I have known councillors who don't see a connection between political party sponsorship and political behaviour.
But as soon as these rescuers seek support for a proposal they're in deal country, which means inevitably that they're in politics. Support will lead to obligation and perhaps alliance, rejection will lead to reprisal and perhaps enmity.
Hostility is a much more powerful state in a council than alliance and co-operation, and when that develops into unfettered feuding, as it appears to have done at Cessnock, the elected council cannot function. At Newcastle the feuding appears not to have been unfettered.
But while politics seems inevitable whenever people negotiate within a group, the politics is more likely to be overwhelming and destructive whenever councillors are divided into political parties, and the reason may be that political parties are by their nature oppositional. And this applies to not just the registered political parties but to groups such as that of my friend Mike King, Aaron Buman's Unite and Deliver team.
We'd all be better served without them.
Can councils be rid of political parties? Should parties and groups be barred from sponsoring candidates?

Federal CIOs Grapple With BYOD, Mobile Workforce
Security and cultural issues are among many challenges government CIOs face in implementing mobile device management and BYOD strategies.
Tue, April 30, 2013
CIO — WASHINGTON -- With the advancement of a government-wide digital strategy that puts a premium on mobile computing, telecommuting could become a reality for a greater share of federal workers, though agency CIOs face a stout set of challenges before the federal government becomes home to a truly mobile workforce.
Here at a conference hosted by the Mobile Work Exchange, a group that champions the adoption of technology and policies to enable remote work, experts from within the government and leading contractors described the challenges and opportunities of overhauling an IT infrastructure to mobilize the workforce.
Federal Employees Must Buy-InEmployee buy-in is critical to ensure a successful transition, according to Tonya Schreiber, deputy chief administrative officer at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has begun a major restructuring of the agency's operations that involves consolidating offices, tearing down cubicle walls and adopting a "hoteling" policy where workers float with no permanent workstation.
"I've basically been charged with changing the culture of FEMA," Schreiber says.
[Related: Federal Mobile Strategy Calls for Shift in Government IT]
"Culture is key," she adds. "You only have one opportunity to change the culture of your agency and get it right with your people."
As FEMA scales down from eight leased buildings in the D.C. metro area to three, a transition planned to be completed by 2016, the agency is aiming to mobilize more of its employees and operations, bringing the remote capabilities that disaster responders use in the field into the regular workflow.
[Related: U.S. CIO Unveils Mobile Strategy for Federal Government]
Schreiber says that as recently as six months ago, just 5 percent of FEMA's employees regularly worked remotely, but the agency has been working to ratchet up that figure.
With that roadmap, FEMA is heading down a similar path as other government agencies, which are all operating under a series of IT directives from the Obama administration involving cloud computing, data-center consolidation and mobile computing. Just as in the private sector, those initiatives come in service of the familiar goals of cutting costs and carbon emissions while increasing agility and productivity.
[Related: New Federal Mobile IT Strategy Must Address Security]
The Mobile Work Exchange, the organizer of Tuesday's conference, is focusing much of its efforts on the federal government, and recently wrapped up its annual Telework Week. From April 4-8, some 136,000 global employees pledged to work remotely, which translated into an estimated savings of $12.3 million commuting costs and nearly 8,000 tons of carbon emissions, according to the group.

Front Page Quotations Other Quotes Week of 25 May, 2010
Quotations about Liberty and Power
About this Quotation:
This is another title which deserves celebrating some 50 years after its first publication in 1960. The economist and historian William Grampp shows that the English campaigner for free trade in the 1840s, Richard Cobden, was motivated primarily by moral issues such as peace and voluntarism, and was not merely a heartless defender of the profits of Manchester industrialists as his critics sometimes portray him. Grampp quotes Cobden who says "Free trade unites, by the strongest motives of which our nature is susceptible, two remote communities, rendering the interest of the one the only true policy of the other, and making each equally anxious for the prosperity and happiness of both." So great was his abhorrence of violence that Cobden also condemned dueling, boxing, bull-fighting, capital punishment, all wars for national independence, and even brass bands (because of their association with the military). This thorough going objection to anything violent or which suggested violence is similar to Herbert Spencer's objection to members of the Salvation Army wearing army style uniforms because it symbolized the increasing militarization of British society in the late 19th century. One wonders what Cobden or Spencer would have made of modern day celebrations of national days such as July 4, or July 14, or Anzac Day; or especially May Day in the old Soviet Union with its parade of missiles and tanks?

The historian William Grampp's book on the history of The Manchester School was published 50 years ago. In it he describes the connection between Richard Cobden's campaign for free trade (the repeal of the "Corn Laws" in 1846) and his total commitment to peace:

The Linksys WRT54G is a combination wireless access point, switch and
router. More information is available at the following URL:
Remote exploitation of a design error in the upgrade.cgi component of
Cisco Systems Inc.'s Linksys WRT54G wireless router may allow
unauthenticated modification of the router firmware.
The vulnerability specifically exists in the "POST" method of the
upgrade.cgi handler. The httpd running on the internal interfaces,
including by default the wireless interface, does not check if
authentication has failed until after data supplied by an external user
has been processed. The upgrade.cgi handler allows a user to upload new
firmware, which contains the operating system and applications, into the
non-volatile memory of the router.
If the user is authenticated, the router will then restart, and the new
firmware will be loaded. If the user is not authenticated, they will
receive an error page when they attempt to upload a new firmware without
supplying authentication and the router will not reboot. The firmware
will be saved, but will not take effect until the next time the router
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability would allow an
unauthenticated user the ability to completely compromise the affected
router, by installation of an arbitrary firmware. As the source code and
tools for compiling the firmware are available from the vendor, an
attacker could simply rebuild the firmware and add the extra
functionality. Exploitation of this vulnerability would require that an
attacker connect to the web management port of the router. The httpd is
running by default but is only accessible via the LAN ports or the WLAN
(wireless LAN). For the uploaded firmware to be enabled, the router
must be restarted.
iDEFENSE has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in version
3.01.03 of the firmware of the Linksys WRT54G wireless router, and has
identified the same code is present in versions 3.03.6 and 4.00.7.
All versions prior to 4.20.7 may be affected.
To mitigate exposure of the internal network to outside attackers,
ensure encryption is enabled on the wireless interface. The exact
settings to use are dependent on your wireless deployment policies.
Linksys has addressed this issue in version 4.20.7 of the firmware for the WRT54G Router.
Additionally, this vulnerability was fixed in version 1.05.2 of the WRT54GS router, with version 4 hardware.

China Merchants Bank (New York), an overseas subsidiary of the Chinese bank, has selected the TEMENOS T24 (T24) Model Bank US Platform from Geneva-based Temenos, provider of integrated core banking systems. The system will support China Merchant Bank's newly established corporate banking business.
Temenos will also provide a bilingual support team with consultants based in both the US and China. This global approach was crucial for the bank, which needs to be able to communicate effectively across both sides of its business. The bank also required a system that could process transactions, manage customers and support the bank's business across multiple countries, currencies and languages.
The system will be implemented on IBM hardware at the bank's New York office to support its high-speed, high-volume transaction processing and planned business growth. The New York branch will facilitate trade and other business activities between the US and China by providing trade service, trade finance, dollar clearing and other services to businesses from both countries. It is an essential part of CMB's overseas expansion strategy.

SABMiller plc trading update for the five months ended 31 August 2002
17 September 2002
Results and EPS for first five months ahead of prior year, integration of Miller Brewing Company underway
London and Johannesburg, 17 September 2002. Prior to the commencement of the close period ahead of the interim results due in November, Graham Mackay, Chief Executive of SABMiller plc, has provided an update to the AGM statement issued on 31 July 2002.
Mr Mackay said: "For the five months ended 31 August 2002, the group has delivered results and earnings per share ahead of prior year - a very satisfactory performance in the light of the significant depreciation of some Southern African currencies in 2001.
Europe's results are especially pleasing. Our Central and Eastern European businesses produced good volume growth, despite the impact of flooding in the Czech Republic. Both Poland and the Czech Republic have performed particularly well. In Russia, volumes are ahead of last year but behind expectations.
In Africa, lager beer volumes have grown in all our major markets, and in Tanzania benefits from the recent East African rationalisation initiatives are already being achieved. Carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) volumes are well ahead of the prior year, led by strong performances in Angola and Zambia. In China, profitability is improving following our acquisitions in 2001 and the ongoing reorganisation of that business into three sub-regions.
Beer volumes for the year to date in South Africa are 0.7% lower than the comparable period last year, reflecting the encouraging trends of recent months. This result has been achieved without the benefit of an Easter period, which fell into the prior financial year, and on a like-for-like basis volumes would be marginally positive. Profits in local currency at Beer South Africa are ahead of those of the previous year. ABI has recorded good growth in volumes, and the Hotel and Gaming group has also shown good growth in occupancies and gaming revenues, with earnings in both businesses being ahead of the prior year.
In Central America, our businesses in Honduras and El Salvador have grown lager beer volumes although CSD volumes remain under competitive pressure. This, together with the region's lacklustre economic performance, has resulted in profitability remaining behind our expectation. However, rationalisation and integration initiatives continue, and benefits from these activities are still to come.
In the United States, Miller Brewing Company's own lager volumes for the two months since acquisition have been in line with our expectations but below last year. This has been offset by the continuing improvement in pricing trends and higher contract brewing volumes. The integration of the business into the wider group is proceeding across a broad front".

The Gamecocks have signed players with the highly subjective star designations from the major recruiting services before, but the haul they reeled in Wednesday would rival, and maybe even exceed, some mid-major FBS programs.
In their first recruiting effort for JSU, one put on a fast track by the staff's late arrival, new coach Bill Clark and his assistants signed five 2- and 3-star prospects in the 21-player class he announced on National Signing Day.
The class included at least one player at each position except quarterback and kicker — and the kicker may come next week — with the star power coming at linebacker, tight end, wide receiver, safety and offensive lineman.
Even Clark admitted he was "amazed" at the quality they attracted given the short window of time, but he didn't think any were out of the Gamecocks' league.
"I think there is a lot of research that goes into these stars," Clark said. "But just from our evaluations, we did not say, 'Well, we're Jax State and somebody's this, we can't get this guy.' We just said this is a guy who's out there, he has not made a decision that we felt was something we could not get on, so we went after him.
"That's kind of been our question: How did you get this guy? If you get over here and see our campus, see our people, we feel like we can compete with anybody. We really believe that. That came through to the kids."
Ramar Dennis, a two-star linebacker from Orlando, Fla., is probably the poster child for that approach.
He had nearly a dozen offers from FBS schools the likes of Syracuse, Cincinnati, Illinois, Southern Miss and Orange Bowl-participant Northern Illinois. As he delayed making a choice, other schools secured commitments at his position and he fell down or off their lists. The schools that still wanted him on their roster pitched him playing another position.
The Gamecocks stayed on him and once they joined the fray, he stuck with them.
"I was solid," Dennis said Wednesday. "There are a lot of colleges that tell you they want you — they use that word very loosely — but (JSU) actually meant they wanted me. They sent everybody to me. One coach (Daric Riley) even flew in to be with us and flew out the same day.
"I told them several times I don't know how you're going to win me over you're so new to the party, I spoke to other colleges in the past beyond you guys, I don't know how you're going to pull it off, but in the end they did."
Jarren Johnson, a three-star receiver and one of three JSU signees from 4A state champion Jackson, was rated the 15th prospect in the state by one service and 27th by another. He was the MVP of the 4A title game.
"It's kind of amazing to me that this guy had not committed so we just went full bore," Clark said. "To get that guy in here and address that need with a guy who we know what he can do …. that was a big pick up."
Anthony Johnson is a 6-5, 220-pound three-star tight end from Maplesville who started on both sides of the ball in all 51 games of his career and the only 1A player on Alabama roster in the Alabama-Mississippi Game.
Siran Neal, a two-star safety from Eufaula, was an early UAB commitment. He was all-state at two different high schools the last two years. He could be a receiver, but the Gamecocks will start him off to fill more pressing needs on defense.
Brett Steverson, a three-star offensive lineman from Fitzgerald, Ga., was an early commit to Duke and also had offers from Colorado State and Troy.
"It's exciting to get some bigger names," Clark said, "but overall even guys who aren't maybe the higher stars, we've got really a good group."
There are others in the class who might not have a star designation but strengthen the class. Among them are Tallahassee, Fla., receiver Earl Calloway — a one-time elementary school classmate of Dennis' — McAdory defensive back Darius Jackson and any of five offensive linemen.
In all, the Gamecocks signed six receivers, four defensive linemen, four defensive backs, five offensive linemen, two tight ends, a running back and a linebacker. Geographically, they signed 16 from Alabama, three from Georgia and two from Florida, who happened to be the first faxes returned Wednesday.
About the only targets they lost were Jonesboro, Ga., linebacker Nate Norwood (Appalachian State), Austin defensive back Greg Willard (Murray State) — two early commitments to the former staff — and St. Pauls offensive lineman Case Hillier.
"We didn't really have many misses I don't think as far as guys we look back and say, 'Boy, I wish we could've got this guy," Clark said. "There's always a few of those guys, because you really get to know these kids and love them, but this to me is just a super quality group."
Clark's hope now is all of them get qualified. He said "two or three" still have some work to do, including junior college receiver Rodney Davis who hasn't played since helping East Mississippi CC win the 2011 JUCO national championship, but he said their coaches have expressed confidence it would happen.
The signing class also included two Calhoun County players — Piedmont offensive lineman Austin Bishop and Alexandria athlete Justice Owens. Oxford wide receiver Jarrius Orr said he has committed to JSU, but will be walking on.
Clark said it was important to pursue and sign local players and he would continue to do so if they fit the needs of the program.

Sophomore T.J. Yeldon has carried the load with 273 of the Tide's 396 rushing yards and has more than half the carries. Alabama currently has four rushing touchdowns. By this point last season, the Tide had nine.
The three teams the Tide has faced currently rank 15th (Virginia Tech), 105th (Texas A&M) and 55th (Colorado State) in rush defense.
"I mean, we're a new team. I think people need to realize that," Tide quarterback AJ McCarron said. "You're not going to be the best at running every year. Some years, you're going to be better throwing the ball than you are running – and vice-versa.
"I think people need to kind of realize that. We're going to play to our strengths. If we got to throw the ball, we'll throw it. If we've got to run it, we've got to run it. As long as we win."
The Tide ran the ball just 21 times (out of 48 total plays) Saturday after running the ball less than 30 times just once last season (25 at LSU). It was the fewest attempts under Saban and lowest for Alabama since the 2004 Music City Bowl.
"Not necessarily the plays that we call, because as fans everybody thinks you called bad plays because they didn't work," Saban said. "But why didn't they work? I think that's the most important thing. We had a few missed assignments, but more than that we probably had a lack of technique."
Through three games, Ole Miss is allowing 114.3 rushing yards per game.
TEAM CHEMISTRY: Along with improving its play on the field, Saban said Alabama needs to work on its team chemistry.
"I think team chemistry comes from everybody buying into the principles and values of the organization," Saban said. "Whether it's respecting and trusting those principles and values, respecting and trusting each other and having a positive attitude toward a goal that you have.
"That vision that you have has to be important to you, because that's where all your motivation comes from."
Saban wants everyone to be responsible for their job. He said this team needs to continue to work on building the chemistry that past teams have had.
"Our team has made improvement in that area," Saban said. "Are we where we need to be? I like to think that we'll continue to improve and that these lessons that we learn in each one of these games, where we play well at times and play poorly at times, are all sort of lessons that sort of get people closer to understanding how important it is to buy into the process of what they need to do to play with consistency."
INJURY UPDATE: After having several players sit out Saturday, Saban expects everyone to return to practice this week except senior safety Nick Perry.
Following the Crimson Tide's 31-6 victory over Colorado State, Saban said Perry hurt his shoulder during practice last week.
"We'll get a call on what they want to do with (Nick Perry) long-term here very shortly," Saban said during his Monday news conference. "So, I don't know exactly (what will happen). That decision is being made today."
Perry wore a black, non-contact jersey during Monday's practice.
Along with Perry, the injured players: wide receivers Amari Cooper (toe) and Kevin Norwood (lower leg), right guard Anthony Steen (concussion), safety Jarrick Williams (eye) and cornerback Deion Belue (toe).

Stocks closed mixed as technology companies pulled the Nasdaq and Dow higher, although investors didn't have enough conviction in the future of the economy to break out of a tight trading range.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 22.10 points, or 0.2 percent, to 10,594.83. Hewlett-Packard, Cisco and Intel rose. Alcoa and Bank of America fell.
The S&P 500slipped 0.41 points, or 0.04 percent, to 1,124.66, while the Nasdaqrose 1.93 points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,303.25.
The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, rose above 22.
Most key S&P 500 sectors remained lower, led by utilities, energy, and industrials. The technology and materials sectors rose.
The major indexes extended September's rally in the previous sessionand remained on track to stay in positive territory for the third straight week.
The market more or less treaded water amid light volume again today as investors failed to disrupt a trading range that has held the S&P below 1,230 and above 1,040 since mid-May.
One reason is Thursday's mixed economic data weren't providing enough information on the future direction of the economy, said Nate Peterson, senior derivatives analyst at Charles Schwab.
"I don't feel it's enough information to drive buyers or sellers," Peterson said.
Shares of economic bellwether FedEx fell after the transportation company reported its quarterly profit doubled, although it was just shy of expectations. The company also said it plans to cut 1,700 jobs to trim costs. Shares of rival UPS also slipped.
Pier 1 Imports soared after the home decor retailer reported better-than-expected results, citing strong sales, costs controls, and fewer promotions.
Tech giants Oracle and Research In Motion are scheduled to report earningsafter the bell tonight. Analysts expect Oracle to turn in a profit of 37 cent a share on sales of $7.27 billion and RIM to report earnings of $1.35 a share on revenue of $4.47 billion, according to a consensus from Thomson Reuters.
Entertainment stocks slipped lower after Credit Suisse cut the sector to "underweight" from "market weight." Specifically, the brokerage cut price targets for News Corp. shares to $16 a share from $17, Time Warner's and Viacom's both to $35 a share from $37, and Walt Disney's to $39 a share from $41.
Paper and forest products stocks were under pressure after BMO Capital Markets downgraded the sector to "market perform" from "outperform," citing the weak housing market and the chance of a double-dip recession. Clearwater Paper , KapStone Paper and Packaging , and Universal Forest Products all fell.
Gamestop jumped after the video game retailer announced it would buy back $300 million in stock and would retire $200 million debt.
Amazon.com shares were higher after brokerage Benchmark raised its price target on the online retailer to $165 from $148.
And, Netflix fell even after Credit Suisse raised its rating on the movie rental firm to "neutral" from "underperform" because of the company's shift to streaming videos.
The U.S. Justice Deparment is investigating whether Google's purchase of airline ticketing firm ITA Software will hurt rivals in the travel business who need airline data. Shares of Expedia and Orbitz were higher.
In the energy sector, Williams sank after the company's pipeline unit slashed its earnings outlook for the next few years because of low commodity prices. Rivals TransCanada and Atlas Pipeline also declined.
Quicksilver, Cabot Oil & Gas plummeted after Lazard Capital downgraded the firms to "sell" from "hold." Denbury Resources fell after the brokerage downgraded the energy company to "hold" from "buy." Meanwhile, oil prices fell below $75 a barrel.
Ford Motor jumped after Barclays Capital upgraded the automaker to "overweight" from "equal weight" and raised the price target to $16 from $15, citing increased earnings power based on good products and pricing, and reduced costs.
The new CEO of GM, Daniel Akerson, told reporters it may take a couple of years before taxpayers get all their money backfrom the automaker. Akerson said GM's goal is to repay the money, but the initial public offering expected later this yearwon't be enough.
Meanwhile, Barclays cut its forecast for the auto sales industry to 12 million units from 13.5 million units in 2011.
Siemens advanced after Goldman Sachs added the German engineering conglomerate to its "conviction buy" list.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner sought to convince skeptical U.S. lawmakers he was taking a tougher line on China's currency and trade policies, but Beijing warned that pressure from Washington could backfire.
"China needs to allow significant, sustained appreciation over time to correct this undervaluation and allow the exchange rate to fully reflect market forces," said Geithner.
Gold prices soared above $1,273 an ounce, as currency market jittersand broader economic uncertainty enticed more investors towards the precious metal. Comex gold settled at $1,271.90, rising $5.20 per troy ounce.
In the day's economic news, jobless claims fell unexpectedly to 450,000, the lowest level in two months, the U.S. Labor Department said. The figure had been expected to rise to 460,000. Claims also were significantly below the high of 504,000 reached a month ago.
The Philadelphia Federal Reserve reported manufacturing in the Mid-Atlantic fell at a slower rate.
And the U.S. current account deficit widened to $123.3 billion in the second quarter, or 3.4 percent of GDP, the U.S. Commerce Department said.
Meanwhile, the August Producer Price Index rose 0.4 percent, slightly more than expected, according to the Labor Department. Core PPI was 0.1 percent in August, also in line with expectations, after rising 0.3 percent in July.
And nearly 51 percent of individual investors surveyed by the American Association of Individual Investorswere bullish for the week ended September 15, up 7 percent from last week.
Friday is quadrapule witching, when index futures, index options, equity options and security futures all expire, but like the equity markets, option volume is "surprisingly light," with only about 13 million contracts trading a day, instead of a year-to-date average of 15.3 million contracts a day, according to Peterson at Schwab.
The lack of volume is similar to what's happening in the equity markets, "which may imply that conviction in the most recent rally is lacking," Peterson and Randy Frederick, director of trading and derivatives at Schwab wrote in a research note.
Adding to light market volume: retail investors continue to pull money out of equity funds in favor of bond funds. In August, another $14.3 billion exited U.S. stock funds, for a year-to-date outflow of $42.2 billion, while $24.6 billion flowed into taxable bond funds, for a year-to-date gain of $168.4 billion, according to Morningstar, the fund tracking firm.
On the Calendar:
FRIDAY: CPI, consumer sentiment, quadruple witching
