GREAT CAMERA!! when i first got this i loved all the easy shooting modes, the image stabalization was the best i've seen in awhile. Even though im a beginner i caught up fast with the different settings. if your looking for a nice sleek, point and shoot camera this is what you want. The rechargable battery is a great feature and some of the pictures are even high quality. Problems: some pics are a bit grainy in incadescent light. but none the less nice. alot of trouble with physical movement. ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

The pictures are grainy in low light. other than that This is a pretty good camera. feels solid like if I dropped it it wouldn't quit. (not trying it though!) lots of "settings" for beginners and people who just want to take a picture and not worry. comes with presets for things like Indoor, outdoor, portrait, theres a museum setting... lots of different settings. 5X zoom is real nice especially for a Point and shoot! There is even an image stabilization. I beleive it is only ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

text: The whole wide web has been agog this past week with the actually rather critically weak offering of the Lindsay Lohan Playboy pictures, leaked in some form or another, but mostly just making us wonder what became of the Bunny's ability to grab celebrity hotness and put it on full nekkid and hot display. Then up pops Micaela Breque, Argentine young hottie celebutante and new young bride of Latin Grammy winner, Andrés Calamaro; now Micaela, she makes us feel all special and tingly in her pictorial in her homeland version of Playboy. The forumla seems simple and this is how it's done. Enjoy.

Few in NATO Support Call For Additional Forces in Afghanistan
Proposals to increase troop levels may face considerable opposition in many NATO countries, which were opposed to Obama's original call for more forces.
Pakistan: Growing Concerns About Extremism, Continuing Discontent with U.S.
Pakistani public opinion has turned against al Qaeda and the Taliban, and concerns about Islamic extremism are widespread. At the same time, Pakistanis continue to express negative views of the U.S., although there is an openness to improving relations between the two countries.
Few in Pakistan Support Extremists — But Few Favor Military Confrontation
Extremist groups are increasingly demonstrating their ability to strike throughout a country in which support for al Qaeda or the Taliban has declined sharply in recent years and where very few agree with their widely noted tactic of preventing education for girls.

Recent Pew Global Attitudes surveys show India clearly embracing the economic aspects of globalization. But, even before the Mumbai terrorist attacks, the Indian public was greatly worried about terrorism.

I am currently using this product everyday as I love its cheerful zesty high notes that instantly put me in a good mood. I am also aware of its lower muskier notes that seem to come out more slowly. It's hard to tell if the scent holds for long as one's own nose becomes used to it. I don't know how the fragrance comes across to other people, but for me it is an instant mood enhancer. It feels clean and bright and feminine in a strong womanly way.

I wore Venezia for years until it went out of production (until now apparently) and also wore Roma once in the past. I ordered Roma again two years ago and just don´t care for the scent on me at all. It seems to be way too powerful at first although eventualy it does gets better. Yesterday I changed my bed linens and decided to give Roma another chance. I sprayed the heck out of my sheets and by evening, they smelled wonderful. So maybe it´s just something about my chemistry that doesn´t jibe with Roma.

Aunt Arrested After 2 Girls Die in Tulsa Fire
By AP
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Tulsa police have arrested the aunt of two young girls who died in an apartment fire.
Cpl. Greg Smith with the department's Child Crisis Unit says 23-year-old Miashah Moses was arrested Tuesday on two complaints of child neglect.
Smith says Moses left the children unattended in an apartment on Monday while food cooked on the stove. Smith says Moses told police she was gone from the apartment for about eight to 10 minutes.
Jail records do not list an attorney for her.
Police say the girls were 4 and 18 months old. Officials had initially put the ages at 2 and 6.
Capt. Stan May said that the blaze on the city's south side was probably due to a cooking fire, and that the scene is still being investigated.

Neuisys Announces FDA Clearance of UroCARE
Unique Software Application Suite for the Assessment of the Urinary System
UroCARE is an exclusive software package developed by Neusoft Medical Systems for the NeuViz Dual and NeuViz 16 CT systems. UroCARE is also compatible with DICOM compliant CT image sets, including those from other CT manufacturers.
"The team at Neusoft is very proud to be at the forefront of clinical applications development for high-tech medical imaging," said Dr.
UroCARE uses proprietary image processing algorithms to analyze multi-phase CT images of the urinary tract. Its advanced clinical functionality provides a KUB (kidney, ureter, and bladder) view; automatic segmentation of kidneys, ureters, and bladder; and detection of urinary calculi with density and volume measurements. KUB radiography has long been a key part of the daily routine for urology practices. UroCARE's KUB-view can eliminate the need for a dedicated radiography room or the need for patient to go to another facility for a KUB.
"UroCARE was specifically designed for the urologic surgeon to facilitate decision making for ureteroscopy or lithotripsy," said Dr.

Prize for Chemistry
The syntheses of many important chemicals rely on catalysts, substances that speed up reactions without being consumed themselves. The 2001 Nobel Prize for Chemistry went to three scientists who developed the first chiral catalysts, which drive chemical reactions toward just one of two possible outcomes. Their catalysts found almost immediate use, most significantly in the manufacture of new drugs but also in the production of flavouring agents, insecticides, and other industrial products. One-half of the $943,000 prize was shared by William S. Knowles, formerly of the Monsanto Co., St. Louis, Mo., and Ryoji Noyori of Nagoya (Japan) University. The other half went to K. Barry Sharpless of the Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, Calif.
Knowles was born on June 1, 1917, in Taunton, Mass. He received a Ph.D. from Columbia University, New York City, in 1942, after which he conducted research at Monsanto until his retirement in 1986. Noyori was born on Sept. 3, 1938, in Kobe, Japan. He took a Ph.D. from Kyoto University (1967) and in 1968 joined the faculty of Nagoya University. In 2000 he assumed directorship of the university's Research Center for Materials Science. Sharpless was born on April 28, 1941, in Philadelphia. He received a Ph.D. from Stanford University (1968) and, after postdoctoral work, joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1970. In 1990 he became W.M. Keck Professor of Chemistry at Scripps.
Many molecules are chiral—they exist in two structural forms (enantiomers) that are nonsuperimposable mirror images, like a pair of human hands. In humans and other living things, one chiral form of a molecule often predominates in the biochemical activities inside cells. For instance, natural sugars, which are the building blocks of carbohydrates, are almost exclusively right-handed. Natural amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, are almost all left-handed. Likewise, the receptors, enzymes, and other cellular components made from these molecules are chiral and tend to interact selectively with only one of two enantiomers of a given substance. For many drugs, however, traditional laboratory synthesis results in a mixture of enantiomers. One form usually has the desired effect, binding with a cellular receptor or interacting in some other way. The other form may be inactive or cause undesirable side effects. The latter happened with the drug thalidomide, prescribed to pregnant women for nausea beginning in the late 1950s. One enantiomer relieved nausea, whereas the other caused birth defects.
Traditional syntheses for thalidomide and other drugs are symmetrical in the sense that they produce equal amounts of both enantiomers. For decades chemists had tried to develop asymmetrical methods that would yield more of one enantiomer or even one enantiomer exclusively. The three Nobel laureates developed asymmetrical catalysts for two important classes of reactions in organic chemistry, hydrogenations and oxidations.
In the early 1960s scientists did not know if catalytic asymmetrical hydrogenation even was possible. In many important syntheses, hydrogenation involves the addition of hydrogen to two atoms that are joined by a double bond in a molecular structure. An asymmetrical hydrogenation would do so in a way that produced more of one enantiomer than the other. The breakthrough came in 1968 when Knowles, working at Monsanto, developed the first chiral catalyst for an asymmetrical hydrogenation reaction. Knowles was seeking an industrial synthesis for the drug l-dopa, which later became a mainstay for treating Parkinson disease. Variations of the new catalyst found almost immediate application in producing very pure preparations of the desired l-dopa enantiomer.
Beginning in the 1980s Noyori, working at Nagoya University, developed more general asymmetrical hydrogen catalysts. They had broader applications, could produce larger proportions of the desired enantiomer, and were suitable for large-scale industrial applications. Noyori's catalysts found wide use in the synthesis of antibiotics and advanced materials.
Sharpless addressed the great need for chiral catalysts for oxidations, another broad family of chemical reactions. Atoms, ions, or molecules that undergo oxidation in reactions lose electrons and, in so doing, increase their functionality, or capacity to form chemical bonds. In 1980, working at MIT, Sharpless carried out key experiments that led to a practical method based on catalytic asymmetrical oxidation for producing epoxide compounds, used in the synthesis of heart medicines such as beta blockers and other products. As was expressed by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awarded the chemistry prize, "Many scientists have identified Sharpless' epoxidation as the most important discovery in the field of synthesis during the past few decades."

Roger Cohen Has a Jewish Problem
Which is to say, it is an Israel problem, too
New York Times columnist Roger Cohen published one of those destined-for-the-Most-Emailed-list pieces yesterday (where it spent the day in frankly disappointing second place behind an article on something called "decision fatigue"). It's about Jews, and Israel, and Jews and Israel. One pictures Cohen in a heist movie, appearing in the requisite room with all the laser-tripped alarms, carefully stepping about so as to evade capture: the settlements are wrong, yet so are the boycotts; Jews need to stop oppressing people, but the English need to stop hating Jews. Readers, unlike laser-tripped alarms, can read between the lines.
While the piece meanders, its main thrust is that Jews, and particularly English (and presumably other European) Jews, having been 100 years ago the equivalent of Muslims today, must oppose European Islamophobia; as a corollary, especially shameful are "the Knesset members who have met in Israel with European rightists like Filip Dewinter of Belgium in the grotesque belief that they are Israel's allies because they hate Muslims." Finally—and it's not clear how he makes the leap from that to this, although he claims "the lesson is clear"—"Jews, with their history, cannot become the systematic oppressors of another people. They must be vociferous in their insistence that continued colonization of Palestinians in the West Bank will increase Israel's isolation and ultimately its vulnerability."
(A quick caveat, and I make it as someone who after the Oslo massacre argued that the alliance of the Israeli and European right-wings was a bad thing: the Knesset members don't meet with the Europeans "because they hate Muslims," but because they like Israel—which is because they hate Muslims, but it's not actually the same thing.)
Cohen refuses to paint the Israel question in anything but the broadest of strokes. (His post-Cast Lead report brought essential passion to the debate, but it too was marred by this lack of complexity.) If you are a Jew, you are either "fanning Islamophobia" or "the systematic oppressors of another people." But actually, that's not what life is for most diaspora Jews (it's not even life for most Israeli Jews).
At the same time, he pulls back from the true courage of his convictions, mainly in order to avoid yet another laser-tripped wire: he seems to be saying that Jews of all peoples have a unique obligation not to be oppressors, but then expresses his reasons for opposing the occupation in rigidly realpolitik terms—"Israel's isolation and ultimately its vulnerability."
What is consistent throughout this incoherence is Cohen's insistence that all Jews, "with their history," have an obligation to adopt his view of the settlement enterprise—a view that this Jew (that is, me) happens to share. But this insistence commits the same category error as those Jews he bemoans for labeling him a self-hating Jew: both sides find the actions of all Jews implicated in the actions of some Jews; whether it is right-wing Israelis promoting settlements or Roger Cohen condemning them, somebody is crying shanda.
Roger Cohen is defining his Jewishness, negotiating his relationship to it, entirely by reference to Israel's policies. Another Jew who does this, as Tablet Magazine columnist Michelle Goldberg documented, is the anti-Zionist blogger Philip Weiss, who wrote of Cohen's argument, "I don't see how that doesn't end up in anti-Zionism." He's not wrong. And yet Cohen, in his stated opposition to boycotts, appears to establish plausible deniability of anti-Zionism. Is he in fact an anti-Zionist merely seeking to avoid one more laser-tripped alarm? Or does he support the state of Israel as it is now (minus the policies he dislikes), and can his worldview be non-simplistic enough to allow diaspora Jews to have opinions about Israel, even to feel an affinity with and an obligation toward it, without being ipso facto implicated in its actions? It's something he needs to clarify.

IIT's HyQ quadruped robot gets better reflexes
HyQ is a hydraulically-actuated quadruped robot developed at the Italian Institute of Technology
HyQ may take on a centaur-like configuration in the future, which would give it the ability to interact with its environment
Recently IIT sold a copy of its HyQ robot to ETH Zurich's Agile and Dexterous Robotics Lab
The HyQ robot has compliant legs which are able to absorb some impact forces
The IIT research team has developed a step reflex algorithm that can detect leg obstructions and causes the leg to automatically step up and over obstacles 11 cm high
The Italian Institute of Technology's HyQ quadruped robot steps over an unseen obstacle automatically using its new step reflex algorithm
Article Summary
Similar in size to Boston Dynamics' BigDog, the HyQ hydraulically-actuated quadruped robot can walk, trot, kick, and jump, but its reflexes need an upgrade before it can move from flat ground to more challenging terrain. To that end, researchers from the Italian Institute of Technology's (IIT) have developed an animal-like step reflex algorithm that quickly detects when the robot's feet run into obstacles, preventing trips and falls.

Lamprey Eel: An Invasive Predator/Parasite – Unwelcome Guest in Our Waters
The marine lamprey of the Atlantic Ocean have made their way inland to fresh water lakes formerly denied them, infesting the Great Lakes and the tributary rivers that feed into them. A dramatic loss of bio-diversity is resulting as efforts to curtail their population and spread is underway.
-Some quotes, taken directly from an Environment Canada website:
"…By the 1950s, (the) sea lamprey had helped bring the once vibrant Great Lakes fishery to the brink of collapse. Virtually every fish caught had a lamprey wound; some bore the scars of 10 or more attacks."
"…Today more fish are destroyed by sea lamprey than all other causes combined, including natural causes and sport, tribal and commercial harvest."
Close-Up of the Mouth of a Lamprey Eel
They have a ferocious-looking mouth filled with rasping teeth which they use to rasp the flesh of their host fish and consume its blood and tissues. An anti-coagulant in their saliva causes the wound to remain fresh and weeping sustenance to the parasite, preventing the wound from healing while the parasite remains attached. They not only drink the blood and fluids of their host, they use their rasping tongue to scrap flesh and tissue to consume. The host often dies from the injuries it sustains from these vampires.
What Can We Learn From Lamprey Eels?
Nature magazine has suggested that these creatures possess a specialized immune system and have aspects of which are unrelated to the antibodies found in mammals. Also cited are that lampreys seem to have either a high tolerance for iron overload in their bodies or that they have the ability to detoxify this metal from their system. Lampreys can be found in water considered somewhat polluted and still fare well. Water with high iron content (such as near a waste treatment plant, municipal water outlets, etc) is not preferred by most other fish but lampreys seem to tolerate it well. Perhaps if this is a detoxification process they employ, it can be studied and a process or antidote might be discovered and applied to benefit other fishes. The ability for tuna, cod and other commercial fish to rid themselves of toxic mercury and other heavy metals built-up in their bodies for instance, would be a valuable result of such findings.
Close-Up of a Lamprey Eel Mouth
From Wikipedia, comes mention of lampreys from literature;
Vedius Pollio, a slave owner, was punished by Augustus for attempting to feed one of his slaves to the lampreys in his fishpond for the clumsy act of having broken a crystal cup;
…one of his slaves had broken a crystal cup. Vedius ordered him to be seized and to be put to death in an unusual way. He ordered him to be thrown to the huge lampreys which he had in his fish pond. Who would not think he did this for display? Yet it was out of cruelty. The boy slipped from the captor's hands and fled to Caesar's feet asking nothing else other than a different way to die—he did not want to be eaten. Caesar was moved by the novelty of the cruelty and ordered him to be released, all the crystal cups to be broken before his eyes, and the fish pond to be filled in…
-Lucius Annaeus Seneca (often known simply as Seneca, or Seneca the Younger)
(c. 4 BC – AD 65)
Lamprey Eel as a Food Item
It only looks revolting? Cooked in it's own blood, I have read. Despite it's unappealing appearance, it is said to be actually quite good. But I have my reservations about that. But bon appetit my friends! There's more where that came from so, -eat up!

When it comes to handling potential cases of Ebola, it appears the Washington-Baltimore region is as prepared as any.
UnitedHealthcare has a few plans that will not cover Johns Hopkins hospitals or physicians. This is where health care is going, folks.
Because you'd better believe area hospitals are keeping a close eye on this.
There are plenty of diseases that have much large number of families waiting for a breakthrough, it makes sense at Children's National Medical Center to put so much funding into rare disorders.
The Children's Research Institute has four research centers and millions in research funding, but many still don't realize how much research it performs. That soon could change, officials said.
The fifth- and sixth-floor laboratories of Children's National Medical Center are hardly the cramped windowless rooms filled with beakers and microscopes one might imagine. Here's what researchers say they need.
Proton therapy is a costly but more precise form of radiation cancer treatment. But what if that technology isn't all it's cracked up to be?
Children's National Health System is vying for 13.2 acres on the Walter Reed campus for a new Walter Reed Children's Research Institute. The land is currently slated to be conveyed to the State Department.
Partnerships for walk-in clinics like that between CVS/pharmacy and MedStar Health offer more access points for patients.
The Columbia-based health system announced Wednesday it would become the 41st health system to partner with CVS.
The Columbia, Maryland-based health system announced Wednesday it would become the 41st health system to partner with CVS.
At least $2 million from the National Institutes of Health will go toward the drug that will target a particular protein of the Ebola virus, Howard officials said.
Is the plethora of hospitals with less-invasive, robotic-arm surgical technology a good thing? Not necessarily, according to a new study published this month in the journal Healthcare.
The hospitals were among 144 institutions, or about 3 percent of about 5,000 hospitals analyzed for the Best Hospitals listing, to earn a national ranking in at least one specialty.
As we head into a long holiday weekend, why Johns Hopkins researchers give extra motivation for being careful.

If you work in an office, you can close your door or slip in a pair of headphones to let others know that you are too busy to be disturbed. Wouldn't it be nice if you could send the same signal via email? Now you can, with Courteous.ly, a free cloud-based service that lets others know where your email load stands so they can wait to contact you.
Courteous.ly is a research project headed by Associate Professor Eric Gilbert of Georgia Tech's School of Interactive Computing. It is available for free to the public. It currently works only with Gmail and Google Apps email, though support for other types of email accounts may be added in the future.
Once you sign up for Courteous.ly and allow the service to access your email, it analyzes your inbox to determine your current email load. By default, it measures your email load based on how many messages are in your inbox, but you can also tell it to measure the number of unread messages and how many messages you have recently sent. Once you sign up for the service, it takes about 12 hours before it is up and running; Courteous.ly spends that time analyzing your email patterns so that it can determine what is normal for you. Once it determines your baseline activity, Courteous.ly updates its rating every 10 minutes.
See all: Email tools reviews
I found Courteous.ly's rating scale, which uses "light," "normal," or "heavy" to describe your email load, to be very accurate. It rated my load as heavy when emails were flowing in frequently and I had many messages unread. Once I had time to respond to emails and file messages into folders, Courteous.ly appropriately rated my email load as "normal."
Courteous.ly delivers this information through a custom link for your account; to share the information with your correspondents, you have to send them the link. But getting people to click a link that arrives either in your email signature or in an auto-response that you set up could be a challenge, especially as we've all been trained not to click on unfamiliar links that arrive by email. You can share the link via Facebook and Twitter, too, if you'd like the share the information with a wider circle of contacts.
Courteous.ly also lets you offer people two options for corresponding with you: it tells them they can put "[whenever]" in the subject line of their email, and their message will be held for delivery until your email load is back to normal, or they can put a one-sentence question in the subject of their message, and have it delivered to the top of your inbox.

Moffitt Cancer Center Researchers Investigate Dasatinib in Combination with Other Drugs for Advanced, Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
Nov 13, 2012
TAMPA, Fla. (Nov. 13, 2012) – Researchers at
Moffitt Cancer Center
Duke University Medical Center
have conducted a phase I trial of dasatinib, an oral SRC-family tyrosine kinase inhibitor, to determine the maximum tolerated dose when combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin to treat patients with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer. They found that 150 mg daily in combination with the two other drugs was optimum.
The study
appears in the October issue of
Clinical Cancer Research
, a publication of the
American Association for Cancer Research
Dasatinib has promising potential in treating advanced ovarian cancer because the SRC pathways play a role in the increased activation of cell migration, proliferation, survival, invasion and angiogenesis (tumor blood vessel growth). The SRC pathways have been found to be frequently disregulated in solid tumors and can increase chemotherapy resistance.
Previous laboratory studies have shown that SRC inhibition enhanced the cytotoxic efficacy of both paclitaxel and cisplatin in ovarian cancer cell lines. In vivo studies found that SRC inhibition resulted in decreased tumor growth.
"This is the first study to define the proper dose of dasatinib that, in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin, can be moved forward into phase II or III studies," said study co-author
Robert M. Wenham
, M.D., M.S., F.A.C.O.G., F.A.C.S., member of the
Center for Women's Oncology
Experimental Therapeutics Program
at Moffitt. "Those additional trials may better help us understand not only the tolerability of the combination, but the efficacy in treating cancers."
The study found that administration of dasatinib with paclitaxel did not alter the effects of either drug and that dasatinib may be better used in combination with chemotherapy agents for a synergistic effect.
"It may also be better to combine dasatinib with only one cytotoxic therapy to improve tolerability," Wenham added.
The researchers concluded that finding biomarkers to direct the use of targeted therapies is of the utmost importance. Although SRC gene expression was not correlated with response, the research team found several differentially regulated genes between responders and those with stable disease.
"Unfortunately, a biomarker was unable to be identified to demonstrate which women are most likely to benefit from dasatinib," said study contributor
Johnathan M. Lancaster
, M.D., Ph.D., chair of Moffitt's Department of Women's Oncology, member of the Experimental Therapeutics Program and president of the Moffitt Medical Group. "Further study should explore relevant biomarkers and identify a patient population most likely to benefit from the addition of dasatinib."

Blue Skies
Blue Skies composed by Irving Berlin. Arranged by Jeff Jarvis. For brass quintet (2 trumpets, french horn, trombone and tuba). Grade 4. Score and set of parts. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.18699).
Perfect for lighter chamber music programming or as a spirited encore, this setting for standard quintet features solid jazz writing throughout. Best results will be achieved by observing all articulations and dynamic markings so as to support, not compete with the melodic motives. Maintaining a steady pulse between the 3/4 and 4/4 metric transitions is equally crucial.

Arizona: They did what they were supposed to do against Washington.
Stanford: Tough loss to swallow, but not a bad loss.
Oregon St: Not a bad loss at all, but at 2-3 there's not much room for error for this team.
Arizona St: The loss was expected, but Carpenter getting hurt could be a huge problem.
Oregon: This was a very tough game to win, but they got beaten way too badly here.
Washington: The bottom continues to fall out of this team.
Washington St: Ditto.
@ Cal (-9.5) 24, Arizona St 14
my pick: @ Cal 31, ASU 14
What to take from this:
If you're Arizona St:
Potentially losing Rudy Carpenter was a huge blow to this team. At 2-3 and soon to be 2-4, they desperately need him back by Oct 25th against Oregon or these guys are going to go from a team thought to have a shot at knocking off USC to a team that's going to be home for the holidays.
If you're Cal:
As usual, Cal's defense did a great job, and as usual, Cal's offense was up and down. The quarterback competition is alive and well, and right now the leader is the same guy who threw a pair of crushing picks against Michigan St back to back. When Jahvid Best comes back this team will be a lot better, but there are some concerning signs right now. Their bye week couldn't come at a better time.
@ USC (-16.5) 44, Oregon 10
my pick: @ USC 38, Oregon 13
What to take from this:
If you're Oregon:
This game made it abundantly clear the Ducks simply aren't in the same class as the Pac-10's best teams (USC and Cal). For a while, though, they competed in this game. Despite the end result, this is still a pretty solid team.
If you're USC:
This game once again made it clear just how good the Trojans are when they come in pumped up and ready for a game. If they can avoid the randomly bad performance (which is a pretty big if) there's no reason to think they can't win the rest of the games and be in the middle of the national title discussion once again.
@ UCLA (-17) 28, Washington St 3
my pick: @ UCLA 31, Washington St 21
What to take from this:
If you're Washington St:
I'm not sure if this is the worst Cougar team ever, but I'm pretty sure it's in the discussion. This team can't seem to do anything right, and quite frankly may well be the worst team in 1-A (though North Texas is probably worse).
If you're UCLA:
This was a nice performance by the Bruins. However, their two wins so far have come against a mediocre Tennessee team (that may be generous), and a terrible Wazzu team. This win made sure they don't hit the cellar of the Pac-10, but there's a long way to go to make the season respectable.
@ Arizona (-22) 48, Washington 14
my pick: @ Arizona 28, Washington 10
What to take from this:
If you're Washington:
This team just keeps getting worse. They couldn't do much of anything right on offense, defense or special teams. It looks like UCLA and Washington St are the only real chances they're going to have to win a game this year, unless something big changes.
If you're Arizona:
The Wildcats did what they needed to do against Washington. With the easy opening stretch done, they're 4-1 and in great shape to make a bowl game. The next three games, at Stanford and home against Cal and USC, will show whether this is just a decent team that can ride an easy schedule to a bowl game, or a very good team that is a legitimate contender for a Holiday Bowl berth or better.
@ Utah 31, Oregon St (+11) 28
my pick: @ Utah 34, Oregon St 13
What to take from this:
This could have been a huge win for the Beavers. It very nearly was. But when push came to shove, Utah made big plays and Oregon St didn't. A lot of it was due to questionable coaching decisions (going for two and failing multiple times, and a short kickoff on Utah's game-tying drive), and a lot of it was due to a simply inability to close. All that said, this was still a respectable performance for the Beavers. Against a good team, in a very hostile environment, one week off of a huge win against USC, they gave just as good as they got and very nearly won. Even in defeat, they showed that beating USC was no fluke; this is a legitimately good football team.
@ Notre Dame 28, Stanford (+7) 21
my pick: @ Notre Dame 31, Stanford 27
What to take from this:
Let's see… Stanford got a bunch of bad breaks (tipped pass INT on first drive in Notre Dame territory, number of questionable calls led by the bad spot on ND 4th down that led to Irish touchdown), committed some bad penalties and turnovers, and basically everything that could go wrong did go wrong… and they lost by seven. Maybe Notre Dame isn't very good (possible), but this was still a pretty respectable loss. With a nasty ending three games, they're now in must-win mode for the next three, but a bowl game is still doable. When all is said and done, they'll probably regret losing this game, but if they can avoid bad turnovers and penalties, they're certainly capable of running off three straight.

ClassicsOnline Home » CHRISTMAS ANTHOLOGY (A) - In Terra Pax (Doyle, Williams, City of London Choir, Bournemouth Symphony, Wetton) > Review List
Performances of carols both ancient and modern have become central to the celebration of Christmas. The choral music on this disc includes Holst's surprisingly neglected Christmas Day, as well as music by Leighton, Joubert, Mathias, Gardner and Rutter. The nostalgic mood of Howells's evergreen carol-anthems is echoed in Finzi's In terra pax, which recalls the pealing of bells at midnight on a frosty Christmas Eve. The City of London Choir, which enjoys an enviable reputation as a 'leader among nonprofessional choruses' (The Times), makes its Naxos début with this delightful recording.

Watch the video on RadarOnline.com (WARNING: Content Contains Explicit Humor)

Mumbai, Sep 5 (IANS) Contrary to reports suggesting that Rani Mukerji is quitting movies after 'Laga Chunri Mein Daag', the actress has already started working in Kunal Kohli's next production.
'Kunal Kohli's untitled venture brings the 'Hum Tum' pair of Ali Khan">Saif Ali Khan and Rani together again. Rani has been shooting for the last two weeks and is totally immersed in the project. She has neither the time nor the inclination to get married or to issue periodical denials about lies that keep appearing in the tabloids about her,' said a source.
For Kohli's film, Saif will join Rani soon. 'I'm currently shooting for Yash Raj's 'Tashan'. Rani has already started shooting for Kunal's film. I will join them in November,' Saif told IANS.
Rani has two releases lined up this year.
In Pradeep Sarkar's 'Laga Chunri Mein Daag', she has one of the toughest author-backed roles as a Brahmin girl who compromises with her morals to support her family. She is also working in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Sawariya' where she plays an old-fashioned golden-hearted prostitute.
According to Bhansali, Rani's role as the golden-hearted tart is so ebullient and enchanting that she is likely to prove the scene-stealer of the show.
As for marriage, Rani has no man in her life -- right now.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) will be undertaking legal action to prevent Metcash from acquiring the Franklins supermarket chain from South Africa's Pick n Pay Retailers.
Metcash has welcomed the consumer watchdog's decision after it revealed last week that it will be going ahead with buying the share of Interfrank Group Holdings, despite the ACCC's earlier rejection against the proposal.
"Metcash is delighted to have the opportunity for the Federal Court to determine whether we can proceed with the transaction. We clearly have different views to the ACCC regarding the Australian grocery market and what will ultimately be in the best interests of all consumers," Andrew Reitzer, Metacash CEO, said in a statement.
"We consider that it will be in all parties' interests for these issues to be authoritatively determined by the Federal Court as soon as possible."
