Dane Charles Iorg (/ˈɔːrdʒ/ ORJ; born May 11, 1950) is a retired Major League Baseball infielder and outfielder. He played for ten seasons (1977–1986) for four teams, including eight seasons for the St. Louis Cardinals. Iorg earned the game-winning hit in game six of the 1985 World Series. His brother Garth also played in the Major Leagues.
Iorg was born in Eureka, California, and began his playing career with the Philadelphia Phillies in April 1977, but by that June the club traded him along with outfielder Rick Bosetti and pitcher Tom Underwood to the St. Louis Cardinals for outfielder Bake McBride and pitcher Steve Waterbury.
During the strike-shortened 1981 season, he led the Cardinals in RBIs with 61 and with a .327 batting-average.[1] He is the brother of former third basemen Garth Iorg; both graduated from Arcata High School in Arcata, California[2] and they played against each other in the 1985 American League Championship Series.
In the 1982 World Series, Iorg played for the Cardinals, primarily as their World Series designated hitter (the entire 1982 World Series was played under American League rules) and batted .529 with 9 hits in 17 at-bats as the Cardinals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in seven games. On July 15, 1984, the Cardinals sold Iorg to the Kansas City Royals.
Iorg is perhaps best known for his game-winning hit in game 6 of the 1985 World Series as a member of the Kansas City Royals against his old team, St. Louis. The hit came during one of only two at-bats that Iorg received during the series. The Cardinals had led the series three games to two prior to game six; the game is remembered for first-base umpire Don Denkinger's controversial "safe" call of Royals hitter Jorge Orta on a ground ball to lead off the bottom of the ninth. Iorg batted later in the inning with one out and the bases loaded. The Royals trailed, 1–0, until Iorg's single allowed Onix Concepción and Jim Sundberg to score. The Royals went on to win game 7, 11–0, and give Kansas City their first World Series championship.

Research Institution:
AbstractTo remain competitive, the US aerospace industry must continually improve system performance (e.g. increased adaptation and autonomy), enhance safety (e.g., fault tolerant systems), and reduce costs. These improvements demand avionics software that is orders of magnitude more complex than that used in current operational systems. While software complexity is increasing, there is a tremendous (and appropriate) pressure to ensure that new designs are safer to operate than the simpler systems they replace. In many cases (e.g., damage-adaptive control), methods that can improve vehicle performance are not used because verification and validation (V&V) tools that help ensure the complex system will not behave in an unexpected way are not available. The proposed research will lay the groundwork for such a tool by building on prior work by the authors in four unique areas: (1) the tool will work in the MATLAB/Simulink environment and will be easy to set up and operate, (2) the tool will be modular and allow easy integration of a variety of closed-form analysis methods, (3) the tool will aid in evaluating system performance as well as stability, and (4) the tool will assist in piloted simulation and flight test design.

The Midwest Medicis' Favorite Financier
Jimmy Haslam is one of the South's richest men, the scion of a private truck-stop empire called Pilot/Flying J. About five years ago, Mr. Haslam was at a wedding in Florence, Ala. There he recalls meeting a most interesting, likable fellow. His name: Byron D. Trott.
"We just struck up a relationship," says Mr. Haslam.
This was not random luck. Mr. Trott, 52 years old, is perhaps the world's most famous investment banker, lauded and envied for his knack at winning the trust of America's wealthiest families. Mr. Trott has advised Pritzkers, Wrigleys and Johnsons of S.C. Johnson fame in merger deals ranging from the $23 billion Mars-Wrigley tie-up to the Pritzker's $4.5 billion sale of Marmon Holdings to Berkshire Hathaway Inc.
As a former vice chairman at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., he was tutored by former Chief Executive Hank Paulson and praised by Warren Buffett, whom he recruited for a $5 billion investment in Goldman Sachs in 2008. He got so good at it that he lives like one of the families he counsels: He built a 14,000-square-foot mansion that overlooks Lake Michigan.
Two years ago, Mr. Trott left his high-profile perch at Goldman Sachs, where he had worked as a private banker and deal maker since 1982. He started a new firm, blandly dubbed BDT Capital, and christened a slogan, too: "The Merchant Bank to the Closely Held."
The 38-person firm is styled as a modern court for the Midwest's Medicis. It's a hub from which Mr. Trott can connect wealthy business owners to one another, advise a fidgety patriarch or assemble his own deal from a $2 billion investment fund raised 80% from families, with some sovereign-wealth-fund cash and a dollop from Mr. Buffett himself.
Outside of a Wikipedia entry, Mr. Trott has diligently avoided public attention. But he remains a polarizing presence across the Street. Competitors—many of them jealous—view Mr. Trott as playing a different game than they do. They complain that, while they do the dirty, necessary work of Excel spreadsheets and loan documents, he's busy playing host to a private club for the wealthy.
As rivals are quick to mention, Mr. Trott was working opposite Mr. Buffett, not for him, all those years. To be dubbed the only investment banker Mr. Buffet trusts should be "horrifying," says one Chicago competitor. "You don't want to be known as the guy who sold too cheaply."
BDT Capital is thus the ultimate test for Mr. Trott. Can he turn from adviser into a world-class investor in the mold of Mr. Buffett? Can he, in essence, transform his social capital into real capital?
"We want to be a small firm with a big impact," Mr. Trott said in an interview. Families control about one-third of the firms on the S&P 500 index, he notes. Focusing on families, "we have a much different approach and perspective."
Mr. Trott's investment fund is catered to those families, who are looking for long-term, stable places to park their money. The time horizon on most investments is unheard of by private-equity standards, roughly 12 to 15 years. "If we find good investments with great owners, we would rather keep them than sell them," he said.
Mr. Trott's connections and advice eventually landed him a plum role with Mr. Haslam, the man he met at the Alabama wedding. Pilot/Flying J was looking to reduce an ownership stake formerly purchased by a private-equity firm. Mr. Trott's investment fund was brought into the mix, taking roughly 5% of the total company for an undisclosed sum, according to a person familiar with the deal.
Mr. Haslam acknowledges he could have found the money elsewhere. But he wanted Mr. Trott involved in his company, in part because he was able to bring the head of his senior advisory council—former Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott—onto the Pilot/Flying J management committee. "He discusses opportunities or challenges without preaching," Mr. Scott says of Mr. Trott. "He wears well."
Mr. Trott's connections were also essential to his largest transaction to date, the majority purchase of Weber-Stephen Products LLC, the Palatine, Ill., company behind the Weber grill. The firm is owned by the Stephen clan, a group of 12 siblings who needed to raise some money from their business.
Mr. Trott's fund was viewed as "safe capital," according to a person familiar with the deal. While the Stephens might have fetched more money in a full public auction, they ultimately chose BDT because Mr. Trott promised to hold the investment for a very long period. The final deal valued the company somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion, according to the person familiar with the deal.
This highlights one tension for the BDT fund: delivering returns for backers while meeting the demands of investment targets. Mr. Trott's approach seems to be of the Buffett school. Pick quality businesses, and it will all work out in the end. "The families that control these companies have a view that they have a set of issues that are unique to them," says Robert B. Tudor, who recently sold a minority stake in his energy-investment bank, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co., to BDT. "They're attracted to working with people on those issues. Byron has hit a nerve with these guys."
Corrections & Amplifications
Investment banker Byron Trott has a 14,000-square-foot home overlooking Lake Michigan. A previous version of this article incorrectly said the residence is 17,000 square feet.

It may have "OMG!" scrawled inexplicably on its sidebar, but Gamepro can put together a pretty solid list. Today, the site rattled off its top eight most powerful videogame studios, and we mostly agree. In no particular order, Gamepro gave the nod to:
- Epic Games
- Bungie
- Rockstar North
- Maxis Software
- EA Tiburon
- Sony Computer Entertainment
- Blizzard Entertainment
- Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development
Valve, Infinity Ward, and Harmonix took home runner-up ribbons.
So, can you think of anyone who's missing? We can't, but we'll probably end up face-palming and saying "duh" once you guys get to commenting.

Local Vulnerabilities in Current Kernels
Recent kernel versions back to the older kernel 2.6.17 may contain a vulnerability that can be exploited by local attackers.
Although a fix for the vulnerability is now available, the solution does not seem to be totally secure. A vulnerability gives local attackers the ability to manipulate or hijack the system. Network attackers are said not to work. The vulnerability has been confirmed in kernel versions 2.6.17 through 22.214.171.124. A new kernel version, 2.24.2, was released Monday, however, the developers were not entirely sure if the vulnerability had really been removed. The current developer kernel 2.6.25 is said to have reliably fixed the security bug.
The bug was caused by pointer handling in programs. The "vmsplice" function, which was affected, was introduced with kernel 2.6.17. It supports faster transfer between various memory areas. The vulnerability was caused by incorrect validation by the "vmsplice_to_user()", "copy_from_user_mmap_sem()" and "get_iovec_page_array()" functions prior to performing memory operations. Under certain circumstances attackers could use a carefully crafted call to "vmsplice()" to read or write to kernel memory space.

This unique combination of lightly floral yet warm and hypnotic characteristics makes this a must in my collection of fragrances. I have to say I have always been partial to Hermes so no surprise I would try this. I had at first considered wearing it more for work or special events. However, the fragrance unfolds as you wear it longer offering an intoxicating blend of citrus and woodsy tones making it my signature fragrance for even the most formal affair. Worth every penny and one I will continue to replenish.

Building Coffins Boosts Monks' Coffers
When Farming Failed, a Monastery Turned to Casket-Making
Building Coffins Boosts Monks' Coffers
Not too many businesses are expanding by triple digits these days. But deep in rural Iowa, the Trappist Monks have a business that's growing like gangbusters.
The New Melleray Abbey near Dubuque launched a casket-making business five years ago after their farming operation went under. Now, in between their seven-daily prayer vigils, the monks can be found in the wood-shop sanding and sawing. NPR's Allison Aubrey reports.

text: I read The Hobbit and the Lord of The Rings trilogy and I loved these books so much that I am now searching for more epic fantasy to read. As I don't know any authors in the genre, I have spent the last few hours searching the internet to see which books to read. And to be honest I am lost. What I liked about Lord of The Rings is the huge world with a huge history that Tolkien created: I fell in love with the cosy life of hobbits, the wisdom of Gandalf, the fairness of the elves and the beauty of Lothlorien. I liked the epic battles, the stories about kings and great kingdoms that have once been etc. In my search for a book I'd like to find something not similar to Lord of The Rings, but something that can give me the same 'feel', if you know what I mean. Also, I would like to read a story that has an ending. Like a single novel or a trilogy. But no 12 books series that never seems to end. I'll list the titles that I have come accross and what refrains me from buying/reading them: - Wheel of Time: Seems too long, too massive. - Sword of Shannara: Seems like a LOTR ripoff. From what I've read it also seems like the world and its history aren't as developed as you would like and characters are one-dimensional. - Sword of Truth: Too long. - A Song of Ice and Fire: Seems too dark for me, doesn't have the 'feel' I'm searching for. I don't think I can handle almost all of the main characters being killed. Also how many more books are still being written in the future? I like the prospect of an ending. - The Riftwar Saga: Not sure if it's the right 'feel' that I'm searching for. Does this trilogy have an ending or do you have to read the other ones too? This one might have a chance though. - The Farseer Trilogy: Written in the first person, which seems odd to me. Although this one might have a chance if I can overcome the first person issue. As a final note: As you might have noticed, English is not my first language. Nevertheless I prefer to read books in English, because I hate translations. I managed to read Lord of The Rings in English, so I don't think that will be an issue. I must say though, that it wasn't an easy read for me either, as Tolkien's English, especially when he is describing stuff, can become hard to read. I would very much appreciate any help on this one. Thank you.

Grillers beware: While the coming summer season may conjure up thoughts of warm nights, crisp cold beers, and gatherings around the barbecue, there are potential dangers that you may want to take into consideration before firing up the grill.
Click here to see the How to Clean Your Grill Without a Grill Brush (Slideshow)In May of 2012, a New Jersey man checked into a hospital to learn that the pain he suffered from what he thought was appendicitis was actually the result of a 1½-inch-long metallic bristle piercing his large intestine. The life-threatening object is believed to have come from the family's grill brush — it is likely that it came loose when the grill was being cleaned and later became made its way into the man's steak dinner. Several other cases have also been reported.

The god Prometheus bestowed fire into the hands of mortals, and Zeus punished him by binding him to a boulder, impaling him and allowing the birds and nature to peck at him for eternity. Since he was immortal, not even the narcotic death could save him.
Greek mythology represents perhaps the earliest attack on technology. The power of fire's primitive technology produced bad mortals, according to Zeus. Human beings characterized in this manner lack the intelligence and ethics to handle technology. It would make life too easy for mortals and therefore was labeled evil. In order to learn, humans in this world view needed a hard life because of moral and intellectual weakness.
The idea is absurdly conservative and reactionary, but so tempting to buy into that it just will not die. Here, I will refute the idea regurgitated by The Wall Street Journal that technology is bad, and provide you with specific benefits to the individual and entire societies.
Bad technology may sound nonsensical to you, but the idea remains embedded in the collective unconscious, and anti-technology spokespeople are everywhere. Far from ignorant, detractors are often hyper intelligent, but in the end misguided in adhering to an idea grounded in mythology from millennia past. Programs such as "Digital Nation" by PBS examine the benefits and drawbacks of living in a technological world, with objectivity, but resistance remains.
The Wall Street Journal picked up the ancient idea recently, but they are far from the first in modern times. You cantrace this most recent thread of the argument to Nicholas Carr, who published "Is Google Making Us Stupid" in The Atlantic Monthly in July of 2008, answering the title question in the affirmative. His story raised the paranoid heads of people in the U.S., fearing that our minds were wasting away, the result of ominous technology.
Carr contended then that the internet in general was dumbing the population, physically changing our brains so that we think with less complexity. The country was outraged that technology was stifling intelligent thinking. Carr revived the ancient issue and made it mainstream news. Imagine the scandal: Google alters neural pathways, restricting our ability to think! The article wasn't even about Google specifically, but internet technologies.
In an unfortunate pseudo-scientific follow-up study, Science in 2011 revealed that Carr's "Google Effect" was a reality. As if the internet were horrifically negative, they stated that "sophisticated algorithmic search engines, has made accessing information as easy as lifting a finger." So, "the Google Effect," in fact, reduced our intelligence.
The study was outdated since the Pew Research Center released a study in 2010, citing top scholars in cognitive science who stated that the small negative effects were trumped by positives such as massive, accessible, and free information.
These objects are no longer just dumb, passive matter. With some help from crowdsourcing or artificial intelligence, they can be taught to distinguish between responsible and irresponsible behavior (between recycling and throwing stuff away, for example) and then punish or reward us accordingly—in real time.
Morovoz falls in line with generations that believed the car, telephone, and radio were bringing about armageddon. Think I am exaggerating? In the case of the car, people longed for the intimacy of the open air, connection with the animals, the enjoyment of the journey, the exercise involved. The telephone was supposed to have destroyed social relationships because of diminished face to face interaction (sound familiar?) and letter writing. Yet, all along the way, innovators have proven that "Technology fundamentally serves to expand and enhance human capabilities and conveniences."
To say that we are loosing our freedom with smart technology is narrow minded when one considers the overall benefits of machines that make our life easier, more social, and intensely stimulating. But, according to Morozov the benefits are the problem, as the "new breed of so-called smart technologies" are damaging. He levels his sarcastic tone specifically against: Google glasses and vehicle technologies, Facebook, the SmartBin, Disney car rides, and Smart Kitchens.
Morozov extends his accusations against institutions and regions, numbering on his list Silicon Valley in addition to Apple , Twitter, Google, Facebook, and Disney. He excludes, for some reason, both Microsoft and LinkedIn, which is the only one of the Big 4 social media platforms not mentioned.
The smart machines such as pill bottles that remind about medicine and forks that decide when one has had enough, he claims, are robbing us of our individualism and ability to make decisions.
He completely overlooks the positives as he narrow mindedly attacks technology (I'm surprised he didn't refer to them as robots). For example, did he consider the people who need medicine are sick and elderly people who might have a difficult time remembering to pop the pills? He certainly didn't consider the health problem of obesity in the U.S. when he bashes a fork that might assist in shedding some weight. The reality is smart tech makes us smarter, freeing our minds to focus on complex tasks rather than the mundane.
Morozov sees a snag here, however, because we need the mundane and tedious in order to appreciate the enjoyable and the stimulating. He claims that the devices feed our lower level thinking. Free people equal the good and smart technology is bad.
To suggest that technology feeds lower level thinking is absurd. When he suggests that we can no longer problem solve on our own, he is talking about lower level tasks, not diminished thinking. Is recycling higher level thinking task that we should spend more time deliberating on?
Morozov says yes, but clearing our minds of small, sometimes trivial decisions empowers our brains to focus on our day's work, family needs, and mental health. He claims that they "push ... to behave better," and that this smacks of "social engineering disguised as product engineering." However, the enlightened see societal changes as the product of groups of people functioning together, not a technology. If it is social engineering, there must be an agenda, and the only one he points to is that tech makes our lives easier.
With the tone of a journalist who has uncovered a story on genocide, he rips Google officer, Patrick Pichette, who told an Australian audience that Google "is really an engineering company, with all these computer scientists that see the world as a completely broken place." Morozov sees a problem with this because his world is not broken, and if it were, he doesn't want a machine to fix it. If only the whole world lived in his Disneyland! Human evolution programmed us to use tools and technology to fix what is broken.
The argument is fundamentally in error, and he hinges it upon our autonomy, the ability to be an individual making independent decisions. Morozov also depends on the tired idea that we need opposition in our lives in order to truly feel happiness. He seems to believe that technology will actually rid the world of all its problems.
Morozov refers to a virtual world the technology is imposing on us maliciously, with the intent to fix our "broken world." He targets the TED Talk by Jane McGonigal, because she concludes that flaws "can be fixed by making the real world more like a videogame." Take a look at the offensive video:
It's great when the things around us run smoothly, but it's even better when they don't do so by default. ... it will be hard to resist the allure of a frictionless, problem-free future. When Eric Schmidt, Google's executive chairman, says that "people will spend less time trying to get technology to work…because it will just be seamless,"
I suggest that he look to serious adversity outside his tiny bubble and note the tired, poor, and hungry around the world, who might like just a little more time to consider important problems other than food and shelter. He might contend that machines that help these people are "good smart." Even someone with the reduced intelligence caused by technology can see that we need "bad smart" in order to arrive at "good smart."
He concludes with beautiful language containing the ridiculous idea that our lives are less rich because of the smart tech that frees us from decisions and problems, reducing the:
complexity and richness of the lived human experience—with its gaps, challenges and conflicts

- Three Radical New Brain-Mapping Tools Obama's Plan Could Deliver
- Open-source at its best. Free stuff for the world [video & review]
- Hearing colors in frequencies - Remedy for color blindness [video & review]
I have mentioned the benefits of smart technology elsewhere, and I draw from that to conclude with a list of the empowering nature of technologies to:
- Create global extensions of the brain's decision making, memory, and thought processes, enabling more powerful human cognition. With near infinite ability and a finite capacity, the brain is our most precious resource for doing the labor of thought--the best parts of which cannot be done by computers or smart tech. Technology can free our minds from trivial decisions, problems, and information. We can still access infinite amounts of information without consuming the brain's precious resources. The smart tech becomes an external hard drive and processor for our brain to access whatever it needs.
- Facilitate the most efficient social meaning construction environment. Contrary to the pre-Galileo view of the universe, the earth is not the center of all, nor is the individual the center of all meaning creation. The earth is only a small part of a complex, infinite system, and the individual human being is a tiny player in the cultural and technological meaning construction system. Humans use technology make meaning to that others can build upon throughout time, going all the way back to cave drawings.
- Facilitate the best thinking networks in the existence, multiplying the efficiency of human beings in a tech world. Consider, for example, air traffic control across the world, one of the most complex yet orderly systems humans have created. Via air transportation, the entire world becomes accessible to the individual. Likewise, through the network of social media and the internet, the universe of information becomes accessible and navigable for the individual. Air transportation, despite its flaws, the safest form of transportation and would be impossible without technology.
- Levels the economic playing field, providing possibilities to the world because technology benefits and trickles down to the impoverished and uneducated. Education and knowledge are available to the masses rather than just the elite and wealthy. This becomes increasingly so as philanthropic organizations, such as the One Laptop Per Child initiative, make cheap, powerful technology available to the impoverished of the world. Education is becoming truly an equal opportunity. The new addition of MOOCs makes education literally free to the masses.

Head Injury (cont.)
Head Injury Self-Care at Home
Many people who hit their heads do not need to seek medical attention. People often hit their heads on a cupboard or trip and fall on a soft surface, get up and dust themselves off and are otherwise well.
Occasionally, a bump can occur underneath the skin of the scalp or forehead. This 'goose egg' is a hematoma on the outside of the skull and is not necessarily related to any potential bleeding that can affect the brain. Treatment is the same as any other bruise or contusion and includes ice, and over-the-counter pain medication.
Head Injury Medical Treatment
Patient Comments Read 5 Comments
Treatment for head injury will be individualized for each patient depending upon the underlying injury and the patient's situation.
As with any other injury, the ABCs of resuscitation take priority to restore or support breathing and circulation in the body. Care for the head injury often occurs at the same time other injuries are attended to in the multiply traumatized patient.

I have a process on host #1 which is periodically appending to a file - foo.log.
I have a process on host #2 which has access to foo.log via a samba mount. And I invoke tail -F on that file to observe its output in real time.
Some lines are "lost" or dropped by tail -F.
An investigation with strace reveals that some of the reads() come back with a set of null bytes.
nanosleep({1, 0}, NULL) = 0
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0660, st_size=54526947, ...}) = 0
read(3, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 8192) = 630
read(3, "", 8192) = 0
Of course, some lines are correctly returned so its not always these blocks of null.
Also, the same strace command invoked directly on host #1's file system that is hosting foo.log never displays this null byte read block from strace.
It's as though the samba server on host #1 can see the file size change, but is prevented from seeing the contents in real time. If samba waited just a second and tried again, I bet the contents would be there.
Is there a way to enable samba to allow for tail -F on files in real time without dropping lines?

Two teams looking to start over after inconsistent non-league performances meet when Temple visits Rutgers on Wednesday in the American Athletic Conference opener for both. Temple beat a solid Alabama-Birmingham squad, but lost to 4-8 Texas Southern before scoring in triple figures for the first time since 2007 in its last game against LIU-Brooklyn. The Scarlet Knights won three of their first four, lost six of the next seven and come into their meeting with Temple off two straight victories.
Both teams have shown the ability to put up points, but are the bottom two in the league in scoring defense and in the bottom half in field goal percentage defense. Rutgers has played 11 of 13 games at home and won six, including victories over North Carolina-Greensboro and Army before Christmas. The Owls had had 11 days off, one more than Rutgers, and boast four players averaging at least 14 points.
TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPNU
ABOUT TEMPLE (5-5): Leading scorer Will Cummings told reporters the Owls "rode the wave" in their last game against LIU-Brooklyn, shooting 61.3 percent from the field and draining 15 from 3-point range. Cummings has put up 17.7 points per game and Dalton Pepper 17.2, after scoring 26 in the last outing to earn Big 5 co-Player of the Week honors. Quenton DeCosey averages 14.7 points while Anthony Lee chips in 14.4 points and a league-best 9.5 rebounds per game for the Owls - fourth in the AAC in scoring (79.9).
ABOUT RUTGERS (6-7): Myles Mack had his four-game streak of 20-point outings snapped, but hit the winning 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds left to beat Army on Dec. 22. Mack leads the team in scoring (16.5) while Kadeem Jack (14) and Pittsburgh transfer J.J. Moore (12.6) also average in double figures and Wally Judge chips in with 8.9 points and a team-best 7.2 rebounds. The Scarlet Knights will have to defend the 3-point line better after giving up 108 in the first 13 games – 20 more than anyone in the league.
1. Temple leads 32-18 in the all-time series, which resumes for the first time since the 2006-07.
2. Rutgers G Jerome Seagears leads the AAC in assist-turnover ratio (2.8).
3. Cummings, Pepper and DeCosey all average at least 34 minutes, residing in the top five of the AAC.

I loved Galaxy, but there hasn't been any other platformer out since that I can really back up. If you like platform action, Spray is possibly the game that fill that gap. The inventive puzzles, long game-play, and easy to hardcore difficulty curve ramps pretty well since I'm actually stuck and I'm about 70% done? The liquids are not a gimmick as they are integral in advancement so this is not the sell point of the game I think, but what sets it a part from sunshine. Cool puzzles and ideas that are cute, but it gets quite tough toward the end so don't underestimate. Any other cool platformers for the Wii? Not this winter- sigh...

Nigeria Plans to Buy Yuan as Soon as Possible, Sanusi Says
Nigeria plans to reach a target of holding 10 percent of its foreign-exchange reserves in yuan "as soon as possible," said central bank Governor Lamido Sanusi.
The nation plans to start holding the Chinese currency next quarter, predicting it will appreciate given the strength of China's economy, Sanusi said today in an interview in Hong Kong, adding that the target was set more than a year ago. He said the yuan will "inevitably" become a reserve currency and that increased convertibility outside China had boosted its appeal.
The $32 billion in Nigerian reserves are now 79 percent held in U.S. dollars, with the rest largely in euros, Swiss francs and British pounds. Asia's central banks are also diversifying their growing reserves into yuan debt. Philippine Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima said on Sept. 3 that buying yuan may be "prudent."
"Confidence in China doesn't mean lack of confidence in America," Sanusi said. "Europe and America will continue to be important parts of the world. Having said that, it will be almost living in a dream world to ignore China. It's the second-largest economy in the world and it's well-managed."
The yuan, a denomination of the renminbi, was the biggest gainer in August among Asia's 10 most-used currencies excluding the yen, having advanced 0.9 percent versus the dollar as Standard & Poor's downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and a rout in global equities prompted investors to pull back from riskier assets.
Yuan for Oil
The foreign-currency reserves of Africa's biggest oil producer slid 11 percent to $32.3 billion in the year to Sept. 2, according to data from the Abuja-based Central Bank of Nigeria. Nigerian benchmark Bonny Light crude gained about 51 percent in the same period. The country relies on crude exports for 95 percent of its foreign-exchange earnings.
Nigeria may accept yuan payment for China's oil purchases in the country and that could be one of the ways to build up the central bank's yuan holdings, Sanusi said.
"There's no reason, based on history, why we cannot for instance receive renminbi for our sales of oil to China," he said. Bilateral trade between China and Nigeria was a record $7.5 billion last year.
"While Nigeria's current bilateral trade with China is much smaller than its U.S. dollar trade in oil, the China-Nigeria trade numbers are expected to grow in coming years," Sebastian Spio-Garbrah, managing director of New York-based DaMina Advisors LLP, a frontier-market risk adviser, wrote in a report to clients today.
Emerging-Markets Problem
"Sanusi's actions underscore a growing problem that all central banks in Africa and other major emerging markets will face in the coming years as their trade with China increases," Spio-Garbrah wrote. "More African countries are expected to follow Nigeria's lead in coming months -- probably Angola, Algeria and South Africa."
Nigeria's central bank has been intervening to keep the naira within a 3 percentage-point band above or below 150 per dollar to help check inflation. Sanusi said the growth outlook for Nigeria is "robust" and that he doesn't see a big decline in oil prices. He said he is determined not to let inflation get out of control and that the August rate was probably the same as July's 9.5 percent and below 10 percent.
He also visited Beijing, where he signed a memorandum of understanding with China's central bank to foster cooperation. Sanusi said he plans to seek a swap agreement with China and a license to buy bonds in Shanghai's interbank market. He said he prefers holding yuan over gold in his nation's reserves.
Central banks in Hong Kong and Thailand won approval this year to trade in China's interbank bond market. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority received a quota to invest in China, Chief Executive Norman Chan said June 24. The Bank of Thailand can buy as much as 200 million yuan of debt denominated in China's currency, Chairman Chatumongol Sonakul said Feb. 24. China issued draft guidelines in August for foreign direct investment in the country using yuan raised offshore.

friend of a man who died in the Dunedin Botanic Garden is
raising funds for a memorial bench to remember his ''best
The body of Josh Tunnicliffe (27) was found near a park bench
in the gardens on November 4, 2012.
Police referred his death to the coroner, after gas canisters
were found near his body.
Following his death, his parents spoke of their son's
decade-long battle with huffing.
''He died with so little, and on his own,'' his
Auckland-based mother Jenny Lee, told the Otago Daily
Times at the time.
Blair Marsh, of Dunedin, said his friend's death ''still hits
me every day''.
Mr Tunnicliffe lived with him and his young family for six
months, and his death ''has had a big impact on me''.
The pair began smoking synthetic cannabis every day after
work, but Mr Marsh was not aware his ''best mate'' was also
battling solvent abuse.
It wasn't until he until started to find butane cans around
the property, that ''I had to put my foot down and ask him to
leave because I had four kids to protect''.
''I tried my hardest to get him help. But he would just tell
you what you wanted to hear, but he didn't want to accept
Whenever he contacted Mr Tunnicliffe, he always seemed to be
''on a park bench somewhere in Dunedin''.
Mr Marsh was able to stop his legal high addiction following
the death of his friend.
Mr Marsh had asked permission from the council for a bench to
go in the gardens and Mr Tunnicliffe's parents supported the

A soundbar or soundbase might improve the sound of your TV but to get a proper cinema experience at home then only a 5.1 speaker package will do. Having sounds move around your listening position provides a much more immersive movie experience.
We've picked out some of our favourites, from more affordable ones under £1000 to some that cost over two grand. But rest assured, the more money you're able to spend then the more engaging sound you'll get. But all of the packages on this list have the What Hi-Fi? seal of approval.
Tested at £980
This multi-Award winning package from Dali still manages to be the best at this price point. The five speakers - four standmounts and one centre - work harmoniously with the E-9F subwoofer to deliver an astonishing sound. It can go up high to way down lown in a snap. Dialogue is clear as you like and the overall soundfield is far-reaching and immersive.
It's an attractive package too. All five speakers use the same tweeters and mid/bass drivers and the finish is immaculate. We can't recommend this package enough. If you're after a package for under £1000 then look no further.
MORE: Dali Zensor 1 5.1 review
Tested at £1500
The Bronze B5 AV package uses technology from the company's more expensive ranges and the results are amazing. This is a well organised and detailed package, with great cohesion between the channels.
The B5 is also as comfortable playing music in stereo as it is delivering a surround sound for movies.This package delivers a sound that is bold and capable of great subtlety and dynamics. Spend a couple of hours with the Bronze B5 AV and this may be the easiest £1500 you'll ever spend.
Tested at £2850
You'll need to make sure you invest in some quality stands for these speakers, but once you do, the results will blow you away. The R100 5.1 is a talented, powerful package. Sound effects are placed with precision accuracy and the scale will fill the majority of rooms with ease.
