It was while preparing for his side's Champions League Twenty20 campaign in India last year that Roneel Hira was told the bad news.
After three seasons as a contracted player for the Auckland Aces, the talented left-arm orthodox spinner, it had been decided, would not be offered a deal for the coming season.
For a domestic cricketer with an already admittedly mediocre earning capacity, it was effectively a death knell for his career, and he soon found himself contemplating a life outside of cricket.
But after sitting down with a sports psychologist, Hira had a change of heart and decided to view the misfortune as a "turning point" in his career, rather than the end of the road.
And so it was with that mindset the 24-year-old returned to training for the Aces late last year. With only match payments to play for, it has been a tough summer away from the cricket pitch.
But the saving grace for Hira is he's been a standout for Auckland and is the leading wicket-taker in the HRV Cup heading into today's final against Canterbury.
Not bad for a bloke who doesn't even have a domestic contract.
"At the moment, I'm only receiving match payments and I won't lie – it's not easy," Hira admitted.
"Most people think that if you play cricket for Auckland it's great and that you get lots of money.
"But that's far from the truth and if you don't have a domestic or Black Caps deal, it's pretty hard to make a living."
This afternoon at Colin Maiden Park in Auckland, the Aces will be relying on Hira to spin them to their second straight domestic T20 title.
In an impressive campaign, he's taken 13 wickets and, importantly given the format, is going for only 5.8 runs an over.
If he was hoping to catch the attention of his paymasters at Auckland Cricket, few could argue he hasn't already achieved his aim.
That said, he's not about to get carried away with his purple patch of form. "I've been giving myself a reality check after every game," he said. "I'm really not trying to think about it too much and am just trying to put my best foot forward when I get an opportunity.
"Twenty20 is one of those games where bowlers can disappear, and we saw that against Canterbury.
"I'm just trying to take things as they come, letting the ball go in games and hoping for the best.
"I've done the work in the nets and during the pre-season, and that preparation has helped me heading into games."
With Daniel Vettori opting out of international limited-overs cricket for the foreseeable future, there is an opportunity for a spinner from the domestic scene to step up in his place.
Nathan McCullum is undoubtedly at the top of the food chain, but there is no clear-cut choice as to who would make a suitable No2.
Former international Simon Doull is an unashamed fan of Hira and recently wrote in his column for Sunday News that the Aucklander would be on the national selectors' radar.
Hira is aware of the "newspaper talk" but isn't letting it get to his head. He's got two papers to finish his Bachelor of Arts at Auckland University of Technology and, with the help of the Players' Association, is already looking for a winter job. Should a call come from Black Caps coach John Wright, he'd happily shelve those plans in a heartbeat.
"I get some of it relayed from my friends, which has happened a bit in the last couple of weeks. But I can't really read too much into that.
"I have ambitions to play for New Zealand in T20 or one-day cricket, but if it happens this season, next season or doesn't eventuate, I don't think it will change my outlook much of where I'm trying to get to in the big picture."

Civilian attacks in Iraq have not reduced, despitea US troop build-up [AFP]

The armies of Iraq"While the Baghdad security plan was intended to reduce sectarian violence, it is unclear whether violence has been reduced," according to prepared testimony by David Walker, the agency's head.
The armies of Iraq
"Average daily attacks against civilians have remained unchanged from February to July 2007," Walker said, despite Bush's addition of 30,000 US troops to Iraq this year.
Political goals
Iraq's government had not met a number of political goals either.
The GAO report said: "Of particular concern is the lack of progress on de-Baathification legislation that could promote greater Sunni participation in the national government and comprehensive hydrocarbon legislation that would distribute Iraq's vast oil wealth."

Many defence experts say the additional US troops will have to begin leaving Iraq by spring anyway unless the Bush administration extends their tours of duty over 15 months.
The GAO document was one of three reports ordered by congress that will be examined by legislators this month as they resume debate on the unpopular war.
Retired Marine General James Jones, head of an independent commission set up by congress, will report on Iraq security forces later this week.
The White House will submit its own assessment by September 15, after testimony to congress next week by David Petraeus, the US Iraq commander, and Ryan Crocker, US ambassador to Iraq.
Harry Reid, senate majority leader and a Nevada Democrat who wants US troops pulled out of Iraq, said the report showed Bush's strategy had failed to achieve results.
He said: "According to the president, when he set forth his escalation policy the purpose of the troop increase was to give the Iraqis space and safety ... to build a sustainable government to provide for their own security. None of this has happened."

In-Kernel Power Management For ATI KMS
Published on 11 September 2009 03:17 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
33 Comments
While the Radeon R100-R500 series kernel mode-setting support appeared in the
Linux 2.6.31 kernel
and DRM patches pending for the
Linux 2.6.32 kernel
that bring KMS support for newer hardware and other improvements, the ATI KMS driver is not complete. Features such as power management need to be brought into the kernel driver (for Intel too) where they will be better off compared to the traditional DDX drivers. However, that ATI KMS power management support is now further underway with a set of patches published today to the DRI development list.
Rafał Miłecki has published a set of five patches that adds support for reading clock values (both engine and memory), the ability to store power management states (core and memory clocks along with core voltage), detection support for an ASIC's minimum and maximum clocks, setting the new state (currently only the engine clock support is hooked in), and then lastly is a patch that will automatically down-clock the GPU when the connected display is signaled off by the DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) support.
This set of patches -- that can be found on the
dri-devel list
-- is really just the start of providing proper power management support for ATI Radeon graphics cards within Linux running a free software stack. Additional steps are already being taken to improve
Linux GPU power management
such as automatic load detection / usage to dynamically change power states, LVDS re-clocking, and other new functionality.

Newfoundland travel: Sensational snowmobile trails in Atlantic Canada
Snowmobile tours showcase mountain views and wildlife in Newfoundland and Labrador.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
HUGHES BROOK, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR—Forget the Rockies. Winter blahs melt away as you hit the gas on a snowmobile and blast along ancient mountain ridges or wander through pristine woodlands in Newfoundland and Labrador.
A vast network of trails sprawls across more than 5,000 kilometres of natural beauty. It spans the former Canadian National Railway route, follows the foothills of the Long Range Mountains to a glacier-cut fjord in Gros Morne National Park, and crisscrosses Labrador's rolling tundra.
It has inspired some sled heads to call this province the Snowmobiling Capital of Canada.
Far from the typically warmer southeastern winters in St. John's, central and western parts of the island and Labrador offer exceptionally long riding seasons with deep snowpacks, spectacular views and abundant wildlife.
Guide Darren Park leads tours of visitors from late fall into mid-April, many of them absolute beginners. He offers half-day or full-day rides starting near Hughes Brook in western Newfoundland. He begins with a brief orientation drill and keeps a sharp focus on safety.
On the back of Park's snowmobile is a crate filled with all manner of survival gear in case we have problems or meet other riders in trouble.
"Fruit cake, hot chocolate, a cup of tea, survival kits, tarps, rope, snowshoes, axe, shovel," he says, listing off just some of its contents. There are also splits of dried wood for kindling if he needs to start a fire, and fast.
Park drives a Polaris Widetrak machine complete with hand warmers and a quieter, more efficient four-stroke engine that's typical of sleds priced at more than $13,000. Snowmobile rentals at nearby Marble Zip Tours in Steady Brook, N.L., range from about $219 to $249 a day plus gas.
A GPS unit is mounted on Park's sled to guide him if visibility fades to nothing in a backcountry snow squall or sudden storm.
"You're going in on a beautiful sunny day and the weather comes in so fast. It changes within minutes.
"A lot of my clients never ever drove a snowmobile before, so I'm dealing with a lot of rookie snowmobilers from England, Ireland, all over the world."
Park said he hasn't had any serious incidents — "knock on wood" — just the odd driver in a ditch or stuck in a snowbank. But he has helped many less prepared snowmobilers over the years, especially those who have had a breakdown in the woods with no way to build a quick fire for heat, he said.
He has also heard of some recent encounters with moose. The big animals don't take kindly to riders getting too close as they walk the hard-packed trails, and have been known to attack the hoods of the machines.
"You've got to give them space," Park said. "If not, they're after beating up snowmobiles or whatever."
It's crucial to dress well in layers with a waterproof shell for hours spent touring at speeds of up to 70 kilometres an hour or more.
Park likes to break up each trip with a traditional Newfoundland "boil up" at his hunting cabin. Smoked mackerel and caplin, the small fish whales feed on, warmed in tinfoil on the crackling wood stove as he offered his guests a hot drink, melon and homemade fruit cake.
Early morning tours in particular may include sights of caribou, foxes, mink, weasels, rabbits or bald eagles.
"It's endless," said Park, a die-hard Newfoundlander and outdoorsman who spends his summers leading fishing tours. He figures he has the best job on the planet.
"There's so much country," he said. "I think it's just the open space, the freedom, the peacefulness. You're out with nature."

Built for serious whitewater charging.
Sweet Protection only makes one helmet that's more protective than the Rocker Helmet, and that's the Rocker Full Face. Unless you're charging waterfalls the size of a small building, the standard Rocker is enough for the biggest challenges in the river. Sweet used a unique combination of thermoplastic and carbon fiber to make the shell softer at the crown and more rigid toward the sides. Coupled with the high-impact, low-weight EPP foam inside, this combination of material allows for the most versatile impact protection from big, low-speed hits and small, high-speed bonks. All in all, you get a lid that fits like a glove, drains quickly, adjusts in mere moments, and keeps your skull safe in the whitewater when that's all that matters.
- TLC shell technology uses both thermoplastic and carbon fiber for the best balance of elasticity, rigidity, and strength throughout the helmet
- ABS thermoplastic shell has improved impact resistance thanks to rubber-toughened construction
- Expanded Polypropylene liner offers extraordinarily durable shock-absorbing properties at a low weight
- Occigrip design provides a firm and comfortable fit so your helmet won't roll forward or side-to-side on impact
- Coolmax lining dries quickly, allows sweat to move rapidly away from your skin, and the reinforced front flap cover insulates your forehead and temple from cold water
- Self-adhesive fitpads can be placed between the liner and the stitched liner to dial in the fit
- Adjustable visor shields your eyes from spray and the sun

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got the Rocker in preparation for rafting the Grand Canyon. While the security the Rocker provides was well beyond what I needed for the Canyon I primarily needed a more comfortable helmet. I upgraded from an NRS Chaos helmet that just never fit right. The problem is I have a large head so when I looked at upgrading I really only had two options, the WRSI Trident and the Sweet Rocker. After reading a lot of reviews I decided to take a leap of faith on the Rocker. Am I glad I did. This helmet is so comfortable it's like "sex on your head." I wore it daily for three weeks and never had a problem with fit or comfort.
The helmet is warm, which worked for a November Grand Canyon trip and works perfectly for packrafting in Alaska. The only complaint I have is that it offers zero shading from the sun. I installed the visor but it sits up so high that I get no shading at all.
I got this late in the packrafting season (2014), so I will update this review after getting out on more Alaskan rivers and creeks and putting the Rocker to the test.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Like most people, when I first got into the sport of kayaking I wasn't ready to spend over $200 on a helmet when there were others for a lot less. I was already spending enough on all the other stuff. My mistake! Like I said in my review for the full face, Sweet Helmets are a step above all others. After purchasing my full face, I just didn't want to go back to anything less so I made an order for the Half-Cut. Plus that new orange color is just bad ass!
Just like the full face it comes in different sizes and has minor adjustments to make it fit your head snug. It has great coverage on the forehead and the back of the head. Once its adjusted to your size, it stays in place and you forget it it there. Also the chin strap is easy to adjust so if you need to throw on a scull cap, you can loosen it up as you walk down the trail. But the helmet is pretty warm, so you'll only need that cap on bitter cold days.
Again like the full face, my only complaint is that with the ear pads in you can't hear even from a few feet away. Add in any whitewater and you end up yelling and saying "What'd you say?" a lot. But they come out easy and a scull cap easily replaces the insulation for the ears, even of the coldest of cold days.
Conclusion, spend the money and get the Sweets! You head will thank you!
Jamison Evans
Backcountry.com, you all need to start nudging Sweet Protection along to get their bike and ski gear into the states. Just received one of their Bushwhackers as a special order from Europe and let me just say, their quality and step above everyone else continues into there bike line!

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
When I first bought this helmet I thought it was the perfect helmet. Fits nicely without having to add tons of pads at the beggining and didn't slide as much as the Strutter when play boating. In terms of protection it works really well too - I know two guys who should be seriously injured, but instead walked away with cracked helmets and little blood.
Now that I have put it through the "wringer", there are some annoying features. The ear pieces paddings are held on by buttons and they always come off now. Also, I don't like the chin strap system they have going on, it's too hard to get a comfortable fit and it even though it has a soft cloth protecting the buckle, it still chafes your neck.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This helmet is expensive. But it's also the best, most comfortable helmet that you're going to find out there. I've taken a few big hits with it against sharp rocks. One even sliced my gopro mount clean in half, yet I hardly felt the hit. So, if you want to get serious about your paddling, or just might be spending some time upside down in rocky, moving water this is the helmet for you. However, I did have one of the screws for the visor come out shortly after purchase while rolling on flatwater. This is frustrating, but is also a fluke. Also, This is a hot helmet. I'd wear it in the winter without any kind of liner even in the Northeast. If you live in a warmer environment and don't plan to be on low volume rivers, the Strutter might be a good alternative since it's got a more breathable liner and has a sturdier visor.

Hockey rite in Canada
Experts predict fans should brace for demise of iconic Grapes
TORONTO -- Don Cherry's status as an icon of Canadian TV hockey may prove to be his downfall as the groundbreaking deal between Rogers Communications and CBC ushers in a new era of "Hockey Night in Canada," marketing experts said.
The 12-year, $5.2-billion agreement announced this week gives Rogers national rights to all NHL games and will see the beloved broadcast shift to the telecommunication giant's multiple platforms, including City and Sportsnet.
Such a radical transformation -- from must-see "appointment" viewing to "hockey a la carte" -- could call for a shake-up when it comes to on-air talent, including the man many consider the face of Hockey Night in Canada, said David Kincaid, managing partner and CEO of the Toronto-based Level 5 Strategy Group.
No company invests billions of dollars in a brand only to leave it as it is, said Kincaid, who helped Labatt Breweries wrest sponsorship rights to the NHL from Molson-Coors in the 1990s.
"If they want to say it's the fresh new face of hockey, available across all these different mediums and all this different type of integrated content, if a certain personality is seen as an on-air television commentator, it's off strategy," he said.
"If the equity of their brand is only television, and you're creating content to go across multiple platforms, I kind of want a new spokesperson that travels across all the platforms or a whole range of spokespeople."
Cherry's place in Canada's new TV hockey landscape remains unclear but Rogers denies it is distancing itself from the notoriously outspoken sportscaster.
"I'm a big fan of Don Cherry; I've worked with him and have a great respect for him," Scott Moore, broadcast president for Rogers Media, said in an email.
"I've already spoken to him, in fact. I look forward to sitting down with him to discuss if he wants to be part of the new arrangement."
While it's too early to nail down who will headline the flagship Saturday night show, Moore said CBC and Sportsnet have "some of the best talent in the business" and he looks forward to bringing the two teams together.
Cherry has so far held off weighing in on the deal or his possible involvement, saying he's been left out of any behind-the-scenes discussions and doesn't know "what's going on."
He is expected to address the matter in his Coach's Corner segment today.
In an interview with CBC on Thursday, however, the high-profile hockey commentator brushed off rumours predicting his retirement.
"They've been saying that for 30 years," he said. "I know I'm No. 1 and Coach's Corner is No. 1 and what are you going to do?"
That Cherry was kept in the dark regarding the show he's largely defined for a generation of Canadians suggests his time in the spotlight may be running out, said Edgar Baum, general manager of Brand Finance.
"The abruptness of how this happened was a surprise. It appears to me on the surface... that they don't wish to continue with Don," he said.
"Maybe something's going to get negotiated or... maybe they would like to discontinue that era and find somebody new," he said.
"It's up to Rogers to figure out how they want to create that identity, but I definitely think an icon of Canadian hockey broadcasting may be seeing his last season."
Whether the company can oust a fan favourite without alienating viewers hinges on how it orchestrates the transition -- and who it puts forth in his place, Baum said.
"I would definitely be looking for a larger-than-life personality to be able to replace Don if that's what Rogers chooses to do," he said.

About meI'm a used bookstore owner living in Boonville, CA. I grew up in New Jersey, went to college at Boston University and then went off to see America. I washed dishes in San Diego, bussed tables in Seattle, waited tables in New Orleans and spent a bunch of time exploring points in between. I got lucky and landed a spot first as a volunteer and eventually as a jazz/blues producer/host at WWNO, the NPR affiliate in New Orleans. I did that from 1980 through 1986, at which point I moved to San Francisco to get an MA in Literature/Creative Writing at San Francisco State. After that I was first a teacher and then the Publications Coordinator for the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. That all led up to my establishing Rocket Words, my writing & editing business, in 2000. For 11 years, I did lots of different kinds of writing for lots of different kinds of clients and publications. For about five years, I concentrated pretty heavily on jazz journalism and then went back back mostly to client work. My wife and I bought Village Books in Ukiah, CA (the county seat of Mendocino County) in February 2011. I'm having a great time running the store and interacting with book lovers all day long! I'm a huge music (jazz/rock/blues/folk) and baseball fan. Also enjoy travel and hiking. I am deliriously happily married.
About my libraryLots and lots of books waiting to be read, plus a bunch I've read and kept. My favorite authors are Joseph Conrad and Philip Roth. I also have a couple of nice, big shelves of books about baseball and a fairly well-stocked shelf about music, specifically jazz.

The Last Word: From film star to director, Pirlo is the legend with a living legacy
He is unlikely to match Zanetti for longevity but his look implies virility
Chris McGrath
Chris McGrath is Racing Correspondent for The Independent.
Saturday 22 June 2013
Well, they do call it the beautiful game. There are exceptions, obviously: Maradona, for instance, an incubus conjured from the jungle night by the final delirium of some fevered Victorian explorer. But it can hardly be a coincidence that so many football icons should happen to command as much aesthetic satisfaction with their cheekbones as their feet.
Those of us captivated by the paragons of Serie A, in particular, should man up and acknowledge the latent eroticism in our veneration. For which Renaissance painter ever had a model for the Passion of Christ to compare with Batistuta? Or a St John like Maldini? Would Baggio have had quite the same hold on our imagination, had he looked like Paul Scholes?
Of course, ignorance can compound our bliss. The physically aristocratic Totti, for instance, is lampooned in Italy as the equivalent of a Cockney bimbo. In the case of Andrea Pirlo, however, an insouciant football genius simply cannot fail to be gratifyingly consistent with his broader nature. After all, here is a man who entitled his autobiography Penso Quindi Gioco, I Think Therefore I Play. Not least since growing that beard, however, he does not so much resemble the subject of an oil painting as the maestro on the other side of the canvas.
Pirlo has now entered that bittersweet portal to nostalgia where the undiminished, vernal fertility of his invention contains poignant undertones of autumn. We admire him in some binocular refraction: one eye in the present, the other from the future. As such, there was a nearly ceremonial quality to the way he gilded his 100th cap last weekend – in the suitably halcyon setting of the Maracana stadium – with a free-kick from 25 yards against Mexico. A year after that orgiastic penalty against England, the air of the football summer is again saturated with a heady, perennial bloom.
But Pirlo is 34 now, and has already said that he will wear azzurro for the final time when returning to Brazil next year. The demands of tournament football have already enabled a dynamic Japan midfield, since the Mexico game, to make him look rather more sedentary than sedate – and a muscle strain means coach Cesare Prandelli must do without him against Brazil tomorrow.
So while time can stand still when Pirlo is on the ball, at least against opposition as obtuse as England in Kiev, there is an increasingly precious, valedictory quality to his present pomp. He incarnates that apparent oxymoron, the living legend: every game, every pass, a living legacy.
For his bequest, as one of Italy's greatest midfielders, is to all football. As coaches absorb the contrasting lessons of Barcelona and Bayern, Pirlo has made an enduring stand for the regista – the deep-lying playmaker, his elegance typically preserved by some fierce bodyguard in the ilk of Gennaro Gattuso or Daniele De Rossi.
Pirlo actually started out up the field, as trequartista. It was Carletto Mazzone who converted him to regista, in order to accommodate Roberto Baggio at No 10 for Brescia. Pirlo's career has duly been book-ended by renascence, written off as he was at Milan before his arrival at Juventus a couple of years ago.
He came as a free agent, much like Paul Pogba since and now Fernando Llorente. Just think what Juventus might do, if only they could get Joe Kinnear on the case. As it is, Pirlo has now added third and fourth Scudetti to a CV already containing two wins in the Champions League and one in the World Cup – named man of the match in both final and semi-final in 2006. Italy have lost only 16 of the 101 games Pirlo has played, and their most mortifying failures of recent years have almost invariably coincided with his absence through injury.
Serie A's cerebral tempo has allowed some in its pantheon to obtain a literally timeless quality. Javier Zanetti, last seen rupturing an Achilles tendon in his 847th game for Inter, has just signed a one-year contract extension to take him past his 40th birthday – something not even Paolo Maldini managed. Zanetti prohibits even his wife from touching his hair, has yet to produce a single grey strand, and professes a pathological terror of going bald.
But if Pirlo is unlikely to match Zanetti for longevity, at least the hirsute look he has adopted for the evening of his career implies due virility. It gives L'Architetto a flexibly Bacchic aspect, in fact, one that might equally befit a professor or a goatherd. And if he is not quite so much a film star as some of the rest, he would make one hell of a director.

Easter blessings from UCAN
Dear Reader,
There is no more important week in the year for Christians than this Holy Week. We call it Holy because of the mystery we celebrate - God's gift of His son who loves us to his death on Calvary and beyond.
Because of that love, we wish each other Happy Easter even when we know there is a lot of tragedy about it - Good Friday. As Christians, we know that what we see happening with and in Jesus goes to the heart of what we know from our own experience of life.
At the Second Vatican Council, the Christian lives we all lead were described as being shares in the Paschal Mystery. We have our share in the death and resurrection of Jesus every day. Our lives are part of the Paschal Mystery.
At UCAN, we work to describe that mystery in the unfolding tragedies and astonishing blessings of the people we seek out and report, feature and comment on.
While at times deeply distressing work, this effort of ours gets its coherence in the same way the death of Jesus did - because of the astonishing grace of a God who never gives up on life and love.
Because of that, we can wish you Happy Easter.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director
Government announces probe into SSPX associate group
Civitas, allied to the SSPX, is one of the religious groups to be investigated for "pathology" which could lead to its disbandment.
- Carl Bunderson
- France
- December 14, 2012
A French cabinet member announced that the government will monitor certain groups for "religious pathology," including a traditionalist Catholic organization, and will shut them down if it is discovered.
"The objective is to identify when it's suitable to intervene to treat what has become a religious pathology," Interior Minister Manuel Valls told a conference on the official policy of secularism, according to Reuters.
"The aim is not to combat opinions by force, but to detect and understand when an opinion turns into a potentially violent and criminal excess," he said at the Dec. 11 conference.
Valls' remarks come in the wake of President Francois Hollande's announcement Dec. 9 that he would create the "National Observatory of Secularism" to promote France's policy and to "formulate propositions for the transmission of 'public morality,' giving it a dignified place in schools."
Hollande's announcement of the observatory was made on the anniversary of the adoption of a law in 1905 that established secularism as state policy in France. It was accompanied by the decision to honor the sociologist Emile Poulat, who helped to "promote secularism as an essential value of our living-together."
Secularism (laïcité in French) has received a boost from Hollande's Socialist government, which believes it was weakened under former President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Valls said that the government would be monitoring violence among religious radicals, including Salafist Muslims and Civitas, an organization of lay Catholics which is associated with the Society of Saint Pius X.
He said that Civitas is observed because its political protests flirt with "the limits of legality … All excesses are being minutely registered in case we have to consider dissolving it and defending this before a judge."
Civitas is "a political movement inspired by natural law and the social doctrine of the Church … engaged in the establishment of the social Kingship of Christ" throughout the world, and in France in particular. It demonstrates against secularism and policies which denigrate Christianity.
According to Reuters, Valls offered radicals Islamists, traditionalist Catholics, and ultra-orthodox Jews "who want to live separately from the modern world" as examples of religious extremists.
Under the secularist policy, the government will identify "sects" and disband faith-based groups it deems to suffer from "religious pathology."
