Highs and lows
The fallout from the quarter-finals and catching up with Barnsey over a curry... it's Miles Harrison's diary!
Last Updated: 13/10/11 1:34pm
The Rugby World Cup heads into the semi-finals with just New Zealand, Australia, Wales and France left in pursuit of the Webb Ellis Trophy.
Sky Sports commentator Miles Harrison has enjoyed the great hospitality in New Zealand as he has followed the competition from start to finish.In Part VIII of his World Cup diary, Miles writes about the fallout from the quarter-finals and catching up with Stuart Barnes over a curry and a beer...
Day Twenty-nine - October 3rd
The Dan Carter story is here to stay and New Zealand has a severe case of the Monday morning blues. It is a big deal here and we should be talking about it - this is not the media setting the agenda; rather, it is a reflection of what is being said all around us. However, I am surprised and disappointed about some of the language being used. These are words that should be saved for real tragedies; something, sadly, that New Zealand knows too much about recently.
Partly to get away from the rugby for a little and partly because our roles at this World Cup have kept us away from each other (Stuart Barnes being based in the Auckland Viaduct Studio and me being at the games themselves), we decide to have a catch-up, aka, a curry. 'Oh Calcutta' in Parnell does the job nicely and even has 'Kingfisher Lager'. You see, you can take the Brit abroad but you can't take the curry away from the Brit! In fact, the words 'take' and 'away' are ones that will be in fairly frequent use over the next few weeks. We ponder as to which team names will make up the final four at the Rugby World Cup. New Zealand, that is for certain, but I can't split three of the quarter-finals and we debate long into the evening about the outcomes. The rugby chat was never going to be shelved for too long.
Day Thirty - October 4th
Today is what you would loosely call a planning day. You can imagine the amount of jobs that stack up on a trip like this and it is high time to plough through some of them again. It's also high time to do a bit of exercise. I like to keep reasonably fit (as I write this, I can hear friends and family having a chuckle) ....although, I suppose, these days, it depends on how you interpret 'reasonable'. Being on tour, when a gym is on your doorstep in the hotel, gives you every opportunity but at the house in Auckland it is self-motivation only - oh dear!
Anyway, France have named their side for Saturday's clash with England. So, there is that news to digest along with another biscuit. It looks a strong side - it is a strong side, regardless of what happened against Tonga. Stories abound about trouble within the camp but everybody should know that, if France can channel their emotions and even their anger into their performance, then the men in white from across the Channel could be in trouble on Saturday. I'm off to see France tomorrow and it will be a fascinating news conference.
Day Thirty-one - October 5th'Fascinating', though, is not first word to spring to mind on my arrival at the French team hotel. The room chosen to house the news conference has to be one of the smallest I have ever been in for a conference of this magnitude. Is this the French management's revenge on the media for all those the stories that have been circulating? During proceedings, Dimitri Yachvili talks with steely eyes about the forthcoming battle with the English. After his answers, I am left in no doubt that the French will be up for this.
I sit down with the French defence coach, Dave Ellis, for an interview for Sky. Dave has always been an honest and direct answerer of questions - it must be the Castleford in him. He offers a word of warning to England when he says that he doesn't feel that the English defence has been genuinely tested in this World Cup and that young Manu Tuilagi might be a point of defensive weakness, given his relative inexperience when it comes to positioning at this level. After our piece, Dave's off to play indoor cricket with some of the French management which seems like a rather surreal way to spend the afternoon. I'm off back home to host a dinner party for some of the Sky NZ crew. Don't be too impressed though, the food is being prepared by others - however, the wine list is sorted!
Day Thirty-two - October 6th
It's England's turn to announce today and it's a team with a difference. Toby Flood will play at 12 with Jonny Wilkinson staying at 10. I'm down to talk to Simon Shaw and Ben Youngs for a preview piece which has as its theme 'experience', with both men at different ends of that particular scale but, inevitably, when talking with Youngs, the subject of the Flood/Wilkinson combination crops up. The Leicester scrum-half indicates that having Flood, his Leicester fly-half partner, in the English midfield is yes, about another kicking option, but is also about helping with the distribution to the England back three. We simply have not seen enough of Ashton and Foden yet.
Our cameraman, Jon, sets up a temporary café outside the England hotel, in the middle of an Auckland street, to provide a setting for Stuart and I to chew over the quarter-finals. It must seem strange to passers-by as these two Brits talk rugby at a table a long way from the real café but the view behind us is much better apparently. The consensus on the inclusion of Flood is that it is a massive change of direction by Martin Johnson. The England manager has always batted back the suggestion of playing both Wilkinson and Flood and has only previously done so once during his reign when forced to by injuries. Now he is doing it in the biggest game of his England managerial career. Yes, Mike Tindall is injured but Shontayne Hape has been overlooked.
Day Thirty-three - October 7th
It's a flight to Wellington today as I've been assigned the two quarter-finals there and, I must say, I feel rather lucky the way things have turned out. First up, it will be Ireland v Wales on Saturday and then Australia against South Africa on Sunday - not bad then! I go to the Australian team announcement news conference, during which, the Chief Executive of the ARU, John O'Neill, delivers some pretty firm criticisms of the way in which the game is being run. We've already had O'Neill's New Zealand equivalent, Steve Tew, adopt a similar line earlier in the tournament, and, as I listen, I know that the Aussie boss needs to be added to the interview list. I arrange to speak to him in the morning which will be easy because we are actually staying in the Australian team hotel.The Aussie team looks relaxed and they happily sign autographs and pose for photographs in the lobby. Familiar faces are flying in from all around the world now as the tournament is taking that leap onto a higher level. I actually flew in on the same plane as the referees and officials and they were clearly excited by the prospect of the weekend too. They will need to be in the right space tomorrow and I'm sure they will be. So will I; so it's an early night, I think.
Day Thirty-Four - October 8th
The day starts with the John O'Neill interview and he outlines why he thinks World Cups are becoming unaffordable for the bigger unions who lose domestic Test Match revenue in those years. I put it to him that the so-called 'smaller' unions would love to have that problem. He replies by stressing this is not about making the rich richer. It is his opinion that the IRB need to look more closely at how they divvy up their funds. This story is going to run well after the World Cup finishes. We finish on a lighter note as we talk about the game, he is bullish about Australia's chances tomorrow but my mind must now turn to today and Ireland versus Wales.
It's a pretty hectic morning of filming, with the Welsh great, Gerald Davies, providing a most listenable preview of the match. Is there a better voice in rugby? There's the obligatory camper van story with three lads from Donegal who have painted the whole of their van in the colours of the Irish flag and the Ireland squad have taken time to sign it in paint. We then head to the Wales team hotel and I bump into coach, Warren Gatland, who is delighted with the way his young team are playing - with no fear. His bold selection policy is paying back handsomely - can they go one step further today? The clientele at the Dragon Bar certainly think so. It is packed in there.... one of those moments that make you wish you were not working.
At the ground, the windy Wellington weather dominates pre-match thoughts pitch-side with the former New Zealand half-back, Jon Preston. But, when it comes to the game, Wales grab it by the scruff of the neck, regardless of the conditions. Their Lions - Phillips, Roberts, Williams, Jenkins, etc. - are immense in the opening exchanges and the tone is set. Wales play as well without the ball as they do with it, as Ireland throw everything at them but can't break through. Even after Keith Earls' slide into the corner in the second-half, there feels like only one winner. Mike Phillips' finish would have made Gareth Edwards proud to call it one of his and a beaming Phillips is just one of many happy Welsh faces that interview at the end of an unforgettable day. By way of contrast, the Irish camp is inconsolable. Like with Andy Robinson last week, I shake hands with Declan Kidney, there really is nothing more you can say.
These are late working finishes at this World Cup and there's another one after watching England bow out to France. A piece for Sky Sports News in the hotel foyer is followed by being part of a gathering of contented Welshmen and women. Gerald Davies returns to the hotel beaming.
As for England, they do not deserve to progress; they were beaten by a better team on the day and they have come to the end of a pretty miserable and cheerless World Cup campaign, scrambling for wins and struggling to get anywhere near where they had to be. They will now have to face those inevitable calls for change.
Day Thirty-five - October 9th
Sunday morning continues, after an interlude for sleep, with an early call to go up the Wellington cable car to talk to some Australian and South African fans. It's great banter and, of course, I get plenty of stick for England's exit - thanks goodness for the Ashes! Once down in town again, we bump into the former Aussie winger, Joe Roff, who seems reasonably confident but stresses that David Pocock has to play a blinder.
At the ground, the tension in the tunnel area is unbearable as everybody knows another giant of the world game is going home after this. Pitch-side with the Springbok coach, Peter de Villiers, we talk about how a quarter-final is no place for a World Champion country to lose and he strongly puts his case for John Smit as the team's number one starting hooker and, of course, leader when I question him on the debate on that issue outside the camp.
During the game, it is fascinating to watch the facial expressions of two great former players, Francois Pienaar and Michael Lynagh, who sit in the viewing position adjacent to ours. But, when the final whistle blows, it is Lynagh doing the smiling and Peter de Villiers, in effect, doing the resigning.
John Smit has been a great captain of the Springboks and Victor Matfield a great player too (and in Smit's view the greatest ever Springbok) but, for them, it is also the end of the road. For Australia, after an amazing defensive performance, there will be a chance to show a little more in the way of attack against New Zealand in the semi-final. I ask James O'Connor what was going through his mind when he kicked that penalty-goal. With a grin he replies, 'that's my little secret'. The square David Pocock comes into the interview room with a smile almost as wide as his shoulders. Next week, it will be Richie McCaw for him as the All Blacks get past a passionate Argentina. If this weekend was good - how good is next weekend going to be?

Dr. McDougall's Recipes Breakfast Tortillas
Incan Bowl
Digestive Tune-Up
by Dr. McDougall
Breakfast Tortillas
Makes 4 servings
2 cups shredded hash brown potatoes
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup fresh spinach, kale, or chard
1/3 cup fresh salsa
1/3 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1/4 cup chopped green onions
4 whole wheat tortillas
Place the potatoes in a dry nonstick skillet. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat before turning for the first time. Continue to cook and turn frequently until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except the tortillas, and cook stirring occasionally, until heated through. Spoon a line down the center of each tortilla, roll up, and eat. Add more salsa or hot sauce, if desired.
Makes 8-10 servings
2 cups split mung beans, chana dal, or yellow split peas
5 cups water
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder (sweet, mild, or spicy)
Place the beans or peas and the water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the curry powder, mix well, and cook uncovered for 30 minutes longer. Transfer to a serving bowl and let rest for about 15 minutes, to thicken slightly, before serving.
Incan Bowl
1 1/2 cups uncooked quinoa
3 cups water
6-8 cups assorted chopped vegetables (see hints below)
1-2 cups sautéed tofu cubes (see hints below)
1 1/2 cups cooked beans of your choice (optional)
sauce of your choice (see hints below)
Rinse the quinoa well and place in a pot with the water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until all liquid is absorbed.
Steam the vegetables just until tender. Remove from heat and place in a bowl.
To serve, place a scoop or two of the quinoa in a medium bowl (or on a plate). Layer some of the vegetables over the quinoa, followed by the tofu (and beans, if you wish). Top it all off with a couple of tablespoons of sauce of your choice.
Hints: This can be made with any variety of quinoa. Try red quinoa for a beautiful presentation. Chop the vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they steam in about the same amount of time. Try broccoli, carrots, snow peas, snap peas, broccolini, asparagus, and don't forget the kale. Top this with a couple of tablespoons of sauce, such as an Asian ginger sauce, peanut-hoisin sauce, Thai peanut sauce, barbecue sauce, or your favorite oil-free salad dressing.
DR. McDOUGALL'S FULL BIO
Dr. McDougall has developed a nourishing, low-fat, starch-based diet that not only promotes a broad range of dramatic and lasting health benefits such as weight (fat) loss, but, most importantly, can also reverse serious illness, such as heart disease, without drugs. As with many leaders of public opinion, Dr. McDougall often finds it necessary to challenge the accepted wisdom of the time, and he was one of the first traditional physicians of the medical establishment to assert that adoption of a vegetarian diet can reverse unfavorable medical conditions such as heart disease. Medical research is now confirming this assertion. And slowly but surely, medical practitioners are accepting it.
Dr. McDougall is the author of several national bestsellers including: The McDougall Plan: 12 Days to Dynamic Health, McDougall's Medicine: A Challenging Second Opinion, The McDougall Program for Maximum Weight Loss, The New McDougall Cookbook, The McDougall Program for Women, and The McDougall Program for a Healthy Heart.
A graduate of Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine, he performed his internship at Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu and his medical residency at the University of Hawaii. He is certified as an internist by the Board of Internal Medicine and the National Board of Medical Examiners.

By now it is no secret that an affordable plastic version of the iPhone is soon to come to an official launch. Now the phone is spotted lying in the box, ready to be sent out on store shelves.
10th September. The day that the complete mobile press – and especially Apple fans – are waiting for.
It is the day when the IT giant Apple is likely to unveil their new iPhone(s) – and there should be more than one model ready to launch.
Judging from the persistent rumors and lots of leaked photos presenting the successor to the iPhone 5 is also a stripped down, more affordable iPhone with the name 5C. And the latest leaks in line is only to confirm that the phone is super close to launch.
In the pictures, the authenticity, however, can not be validated, you will see iPhone 5C in white, yellow, blue and pink packaged in the packaging, ready to be sent out to consumers. The images come from the Chinese web iapps.im, but according to the U.S. tech site Engadget, they removed them again shortly after release.
Both iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S is expected to land on store shelves 10 days after Apple's event – namely 20 September. We've created a small gallery of all leaked packaging, so that you can get an idea of what it looks like.

Increasingly higher cost of energy which is reflected in the increasing production cost of chemical products;
Uncertainties in the reliability of supply;
Impacts on global climate change from emissions of greenhouse gases (CO2, etc.) as well as ones causing acid rain and ground-level ozone pollution (NOx, etc.)
Competition with other industries (transportation, domestic, etc) for fossil fuel resources.
Global events in the last three decades, however, have brought the realization that fundamental changes in energy use are necessary for continued sustainability of the chemical and allied industries. Recently, the price of a barrel of oil reached more than $60, and is likely to continue to fluctuate, with the mean value staying substantially above the price over the last 20 years. The price of natural gas is at an all time high in the United States, which is the highest price in the world. This places the U.S. chemical industry at an economic competitive disadvantage. The fourfold increase in oil prices since the mid-1990s has driven the CPI to discover energy efficient technologies that have contributed to more useful products, reduced emissions, and improved productivity. Indeed, there are numerous examples of real gains made by the chemical industry in addressing the high energy intensity. One company has publicly reported5 achievements of more than 20 percent improvement in energy efficiency in a ten year period from 1994 to 2004. However the exploration, discovery and implementation of innovative and more energy efficient technology are, and must remain, ongoing pursuits.6
The goal of these pursuits is for the chemical industry to continue to deliver products essential to improved living conditions of the current generation and still be able to meet the needs of future generations. As pointed out by Jeff Siirola during the workshop, it is expected that in the near term the chemical industries will continue to rely on fossils fuels, eventually converting from oil and natural gas to coal, as dictated by price. However, it is anticipated that carbon (i.e., CO2) management—closing the carbon cycle—will become vital prior to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves (Table 4.1).7 Eventually, the use of renewable energy sources will be required. The following innovative strategies and technologies are necessary for success:

Apprentice campaign wins award
Posted: April 08, 2014|
A campaign to recruit apprentices scooped Marketing Campaign of the Year award at the Bristol Post and Bath Chronicle Women in Business Awards last week.
Merlin Housing Society's marketing campaign was named best in the west at a glitzy awards ceremony at the Bristol Marriott Hotel on Wednesday evening. The campaign was aimed at increasing the numbers of applicants from under-represented groups in Merlin's workforce, such as BME (black and minority ethnic) and women, as 99% of previous apprentice applicants had been white men.
To achieve this Merlin sent out a targeted mailshot to its customers and to other housing associations in Bristol, set up new web pages featuring stories from past and present apprentices, including a new video showing a day in the life of apprentice carpenter Luke Naish. It also advertised on Ujima Radio, sent posters to local schools and job centres, and held an open evening in Whitehall, where would-be apprentices would try their hands at different trades, all supported by regular updates on Facebook and Twitter.
As a result of all this activity more than 200 people expressed an interest in the apprentices and 101 people applied. Of those that applied 14% were from a BME background, 8% were female and 4% were disabled. And out of the nine new apprentices due to start work in the next few weeks, three are women and three are from BME backgrounds.
Merlin's Communications Manager Faye Galvin said: "It's amazing. We didn't expect to win; we just wanted to do some work to encourage apprentices into our business, particularly from underrepresented groups in those sectors."
The apprentice campaign won the award ahead of the marketing campaign for the Bath Fashion Show which generated more than £1m worth of advertising-equivalent content in newspapers and magazines.

Iraqi envoy dismisses media report on Ukraine weapons
The Iraqi charge d'affaires in Ukraine dismissed on Monday a report in the British business daily Financial Times that Baghdad was seeking to purchase military technology from Kiev.
"I deny this absolutely," envoy Hisham Ibrahim told reporters, saying Iraq was prepared to admit inspectors from Ukraine or any "neutral" country to check the report, AFP said.
"Any team is welcome to Iraq, so long as it does not include spies," Ibrahim stated in a reference to the United Nations weapons inspectors who pulled out of Iraq in December 1998 and have not been permitted to return since.
Last week, The Financial Times reported an alleged conversation between Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma and the head of the country's largest missile production company, Yury Alexyev, in which they spoke of "Iraq, Iran and rockets."
The report, in which the newspaper said it had heard a tape recording of the conversation, was "part of a US campaign of aggression" against Baghdad, Ibrahim said, accusing Washington of "interfering in (Iraq's) internal affairs."
"Hundreds of UN observers are deployed along the Iraqi border and inside the country (to oversee a UN-mandated embargo). How could Iraq buy arms from Ukraine in these circumstances, he asked.
Responding to the Financial Times article, Kiev last week accused the newspaper of sullying the country's reputation. (Albawaba.com)

Online quantum chemistry textbook written by C. David Sherrill, School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Georgia Institute of Technology.
Free Online Quantum Chemistry Textbooks
Quantum chemistry is the application of quantum mechanics for explaining and predicting chemical behaviors. Much of the field of study centers around the "Schrödinger equation for determining the energy levels of molecules and the molecules' properties such as conductance, charge distribution, and reactivity"
This advanced chemistry subject falls under the umbrella of theoretical chemistry.
I was pleasantly surprised to find so many quality online materials that are being freely offered for students – I honestly didn't think there would be so many quality textbooks available for chemistry students working at this level. The quantum chemistry textbooks listed here offer students alternative materials to standard print textbooks and a huge wealth of help for struggling students. Best of all, they are all available at not cost.

Travel Connections
Tourism, Technology and Togetherness in a Mobile World
By Jennie Germann Molz
Routledge – 2012 – 216 pages
Routledge – 2012 – 216 pages
Living in a world that is increasingly 'on the move' means that many of us now rely on mobile devices, social media, and networking technologies to coordinate togetherness with our social networks even when we are apart. Nowhere is this phenomenon more evident than in the emerging practices of 'interactive travel'. Today's travellers are more likely than ever to pack a laptop or a mobile phone and to use these devices to stay in touch with friends and family members – as well as to connect with strangers and other travellers – while they are on the road. New practices such as location-aware navigating, travel blogging, flashpacking and Couchsurfing now shape the way travellers engage with each other, with their social networks, and with the world around them.
Travel Connections prompts a rethinking of the key paradigms in tourism studies in the digital age. Interactive travel calls into question longstanding tourism concepts such as landscape, the tourist gaze, hospitality, authenticity and escape. The book proposes a range of new concepts to describe the way tourists inhabit the world and engage with their social networks in the twenty-first century: smart tourism, the mediated gaze, mobile conviviality, re-enchantment and embrace.
Based on intensive fieldwork with interactive travellers, Travel Connections offers a detailed account of this emerging phenomenon and uncovers the new forms of mediated and face-to-face togetherness that become possible in a mobile world. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, tourism and hospitality, new media, cosmopolitanism studies, mobility studies and cultural studies.

There was once a guy who had a dream of becoming the greatest D.J. in New York City. His name was David Holloway was from down south and moved to New York toward the end of his senior year in high school. He did not have much experience on how to D.J. in a big city club, but David knew if he was to get a chance he would take advantage of it. He had been in plenty talent shows and small town backyard parties, but he had never performed in a night club.
David graduated high school and took a job as service attendant at a local car dealership where his uncle got him a job. There he would change oil and tires on cars that was in for service. David hated his job, but continued to practice on his turntables in his parent's basement every spare minute he could hoping one day he would be a club D.J. He worked on techniques like beat matching, showmanship, and David also studied the styles of music that is listen too in the area of the city he was in.
This schedule of working at the dealership and practicing in the basement went on for about two years, and David was getting discouraged at ever becoming a club D.J. He thought his fate was sealed with being stuck in a dead end job of working on cars. His close friends would encourage him to send mix-tapes to local clubs, but David was very particular about his craft and did not want to give his tape it just to anyone, so his tapes just could be thrown in the trash. Despite his low moments David was determine not to give up.
It was a Friday at the dealership and what could go wrong went wrong with David at work. He was having a really bad day running behind and to add salt to injury his supervisor was yelling at him about a really important client's car needed to be finish in an hour. David calmed himself by putting one of his mixed C.D's in the stereo while he was working on the important client's car. The client walked into the shop wondering why her car was taking so long.
While David was under the hood a tall very well dressed lady with a golden voice asked, "How much longer?" David turned and almost passed out when he saw who it was, and started to jumble his words as he replied, "Almost finished." David had no idea it was one of the most famous radio personalities in all of New York Angie Martinez. She asked him who made the music he was listening too. He told her it was his and Angie just shook her head up and down. She told David if he was not busy tonight she would be hosting ladies night at the Paradise club in Manhattan and he should come through. He told her he would be there, and she told him to bring his hottest 15 minute mix early before the club opens. Before Angie left she asked David what was his D.J. name, but David had not thought of one, so really fast he belted out D.J. Determination. Angie said that is a mouthful you should really consider shortening it.
David went home fast as he could running straight to the basement to produce the hottest mix he could come up with. He went to his computer and played with the name when making a C.D. cover to house his C.D. He played on his name with the first initial "D" and how determine he has been along with the turntables he use to D.J. He came up with D.J. D-turn-mine as his signature name.
David put on his best outfit and arrived at the Paradise club really early. He gave Angie his mix and she told him she needed a Thursday night D.J. if he was interested, and David told her he was. Angie said she would play his mix tonight and if the crowd likes it she would give him a chance on a Thursday night and if he do well he may be able to move to a Friday or Saturday night. Angie played the mix when the club was packed, and soon as she put it on the crowd went crazy on the dance floor for the entire 15 minutes. Later that night after the club closed Angie offered David a one trial Thursday night next week.
David knew this was the break he had been waiting for, he know with this one chance it can change his life. Paradise has made D.J. superstars, because this is where all the A-list celebrities come to party when they are in New York. A hot well known D.J. here can get a record contract and/or a world tour. The stakes were high for David, so he prepared for a solid week every waking minute he had when not at the dealership.
David also known as D.J. D-turn-mine showed up for his debut Thursday ladies night opening with an awesome mix, and he also happened to be an excellent showman. After that one night David was offered a six month contract with the Paradise club to D.J. every Thursday night, and in his fifth month he was offered a world tour by a major record label. David was able to quit his daytime job at the dealership, and became a well-known D.J.
Here below is a sped up live version of D.J. D-Turn-Mine's debut night at the Paradise Club:

Scientists discover over 19,000 new species in 2009Jeremy Hance
January 19, 2012
Unidentified moth in Madagascar. Photo by: Rhett A. Butler.
The species discovered in 2009 represent a 5.6 percent rise from 2008. Insects represented 50 percent of total new discoveries while plants came in next at 11.3 percent. Most of new the insects were beetles (3,485) while the vast majority of amphibians (90 percent) were frogs, and most of the new mammals (83 percent) were bats or rodents. New species are largely uncovered in biodiverse places like rainforests or little explored regions such as caves and the deep oceans.
Even as researchers near the two million species mark, they admit there is much further to go.
"A reasonable guess is that 10 million additional plant and animal species await discovery by scientists and amateur species explorers," said the report's author, Quentin Wheeler, an ASU entomologist. If the current rate of discovery continues, it will take taxonomists over 400 years to describe the world's estimated 10 million (non-microbial) species.
If microbes are thrown-in, descriptions could take millennia.
"It has been speculated [...] that marine microbial species alone could number 20 million," Wheeler says. In 2009 researchers described 1,107 new microbes.
While the 2009 data took two years to compile, researchers hope the process can be sped up.
"In the animal world it takes about two years to mine the international literature for evidence of newly named species. The current lack of registration requirements simply compounds the problem of an already massive backlog," Wheeler said.
Even as thousands of new species are uncovered annually, many more species may vanish before scientists find them. Extinction rates are currently estimated at 100 to 1,000 times higher than the background extinction rate (i.e. the average extinction rate as determined by studying fossils), leading scientists to warn of a mass extinction that could rival the comet that destroyed the dinosaurs.

The Coase Theorem – postulated by economist Ronald Coase in 1937 which led to a Nobel Prize in Economics for Dr. Coase in 1991 – essentially states that when a conflict of property rights arises between two parties in which externalities are involved, the parties can bargain and negotiate terms that are more beneficial to both sides than the outcome of any assigned property rights.
West Virginia's tentative $20 million settlement with the Big East Conference is a sports industry application of the Coase Theorem, and here's why.
West Virginia is a member of the Big East, but seeing how fractured and unstable the conference's football standing was becoming and fearing the loss of relevance through the loss of an automatic BCS football bid, they decided to move to greener pastures in joining the Big 12 Conference. The kicker being that they wanted to do so right away at the beginning of the 2012-13 season.
Of course, doing so created negative externalities (external costs) for the Big East Conference…with the biggest hit upon the conference's AQ status with the BCS, television contracts, scheduling, and so forth.
So here you have two parties – the Big East on one hand and West Virginia/Big 12 on the other – entrenched in conflict.
Let Mr. Coase come to the rescue.
According to initial reports, a settlement of the competing lawsuits over WVU's plan to join the Big 12 includes terms for the Big East to receive $20 million from the conditional deal. WVU would contribute $11 million, with the Big 12 covering the remaining amount. This would clear the way for WVU to gain full membership of the Big 12 on July 1, 2012.
Of course, timing is everything. And with Memphis officially accepting membership to become the 12th member of the Big East on Wednesday, the Big East surely feels in a better place to finalize their negotiations with West Virginia than they did several months ago when West Virginia first announced its intentions and before the Big East had added Boise State, San Diego State, Houston, SMU, and Central Florida…each to join in 2013.
In short, the parties involved didn't need the NCAA to step in and assign property rights.
And it didn't matter that the Big East owned the initial property rights to West Virginia's conference affiliation.

are in their late teens, therefore, antitobacco messages should be directed at those young adults, particularly young men, who have the highest rates of tobacco use.
There is strong evidence that public-education campaigns via broadcast and print media also increase tobacco cessation among both adults and youth (CDC, 2009a). Mass-media campaigns, when combined with such other interventions as the distribution of self-help materials, increased tobacco cessation by about 2 additional quitters per 100 people. Tobacco consumption was reduced by about 13%, and tobacco-use prevalence was reduced by about 3 people per 100 tobacco users (CDC, 2009a). Antitobacco messages that included information about accessing telephone quitlines significantly increased the number of people who called them. The evidence of the effectiveness of mass-media education cessation series (that is, broadcast instructional segments designed to recruit, inform, and motivate tobacco users to try quitting and to succeed) and for cessation contests is still insufficient (CDC, 2009a).
The mass media, particularly the news media, have been underused by tobacco-control advocates; however, the use of counteradvertising is effective in reducing smoking among targeted adult and youth populations (CDC, 2007a; IOM, 2007; NCI, 2008). Wakefield et al. (2008) found that antitobacco mass-media campaigns were effective in reducing tobacco use if broadcast at regular intervals. Strong negative messages about the health risks posed by tobacco use are more effective than more neutral or humorous messages or negative messages about the tobacco industry (NCI, 2008). Although the evaluation of mass-media programs comes from heterogeneous studies of varied methodologic quality, meta-analyses demonstrate that mass-media counteradvertising campaigns can be effective in reducing smoking consumption and prevalence (Bala et al., 2008).
DoD has a strong mass-media presence both in recruiting and in promoting healthy lifestyles among its military personnel. Such promotional activities can be adapted to promote antitobacco messages. VA can access mass-media outlets—such as newsletters, motivational materials for waiting rooms, and Web sites—to encourage veterans to quit tobacco.
DoD has initiated a militarywide antitobacco campaign with the slogan "Quit Tobacco. Make Everyone Proud" that targets military personnel 18–25 years old and includes an interactive Web site.

On October 13th we held our first Afternoon Saturday Spoils event at our local game store, Game Universe in the Milwaukee area. We had seven players participate in the event and because of it we now have a good core of eight to twelve players in the Milwaukee area. This group is really going to allow us to build the community of Spoils players.
Building the community, in retrospect, happened because a couple of us just started showing up and playing the game. This past summer, I posted on the official forums in a thread for Wisconsin Spoils player and I met Jason Erb (OneOne on the forum) and we met at our FLGS and just started playing. Ken then set us up with a Facebook group that we could use to organize the Wisconsin Spoils players and set up events. This was really helpful with getting us into a centralized place to talk with each other. We then signed up to become ambassadors and whenever we would play we had our demo materials to show people The Spoils when they checked to see what game we were playing.
We also benefited because our local game shop opened a brand new location which allowed us to slip in and show the game to a lot of new people that haven�t already committed to a game. The new store is having problems getting eight people to show up for Friday Night Magic and other events, so we thought this would be a good opportunity for the Spoils to shine.
I started bringing demo materials anytime I showed up at the game store, even if I was going to be playing another game. We held our first A.S.S. event on a Saturday that was supposed to be a Magic event, but we had seven people and the Magic event had two.
When people see a group of people playing a game they become interested in what everyone is playing. It is important to play in public even if it is just a few people playing. I think the biggest obstacle to growing the player-base isn�t the quality of the game but having people to play with.
Now that we have a good and committed group of players, we are very well positioned within the new year to really make the game grow. After our event the shop owner asked about what we would need for him to stock to help support us. He committed to ordering any product we needed and to carry the new expansion so we could host a pre-release.
Getting the shop owner to support us was also a big help in growing the game. We did that by holding demos for the employees of all three of our local stores, including the regional manager. The employees now know what the Spoils is, how it plays, and which sort of gamers will enjoy it. They are trained on when to suggest it to players who ask about card games.
Another thing that has helped generate interest and get players to sit down and demo is the game itself. I am now carrying a three-ring binder with my cards in sleeves that passersby can peruse through and see the fantastic art and read the clever card text. I bring the binder with me when I approach a new shop about doing a demo. I want the owner to see what the game looks like and I offer to give them a demo so they�ll know what the game is. Doing this has really allowed us access to the shops in the area.
Getting new players is just a game of numbers. If we show up, play, and offer to teach the game to anyone who walks up and asks �Hi! What game are you playing?� some number of those players are going to like the game and want to join the community. It�s all about showing people we are here and want to play with them. Everyone won�t play but it just takes a few new players to get a game to go from zero to a hundred very quickly.

experts; data analysts; and experts in monitoring, evaluation, and operations research.
Recommendation 5-4. Countries should establish information systems at the regional and national levels so they can regularly assess and coordinate their evolving human resource needs. Both countries with relatively adequate human resources and those that are more resourceconstrained must pursue appropriate policies and programs to stem the "brain drain" of local expertise that is critically needed for the scale-up of ART programs. The current shortage of trained, dedicated personnel for monitoring and evaluation programs should be rectified in conjunction with meeting other training and personnel needs.
Purchasing drugs is about more than the price of the pills. Continuous drug availability and the safe, timely distribution of quality-assured drugs to the people who need them will be critical to the viability of any ART program, as interruptions in the drug supply can rapidly lead to treatment failure and the emergence of drug resistance even in the most motivated patients who are otherwise receiving good care. In many resource-limited areas, the requisite infrastructure for the regular procurement, distribution, regulation, and safe storage of ARVs may not be functional. The numerous problems currently facing many resource-limited countries include weak procurement strategies; a lack of sufficient and appropriate warehouse space for stocking drugs; too few people and vehicles to deliver the drugs to their intended, often remote, destinations in a timely manner; and poor communication along the drug delivery line. Addressing each of these components and ensuring the safe delivery of quality ARVs and related products to a number of sites across different sectors and for a growing number of people presents a much more complex set of challenges than those faced by pilot projects. Even in such projects, reports abound regarding the complications associated with the safe procurement, storage, and delivery of products. A well-planned and -executed logistics system can help alleviate many of these problems.
For a number of reasons, ARV procurement is more challenging than is the case for other types of essential medicines. Cost issues aside, stock management is crucial for maintaining uninterrupted drug supplies; procurement systems must be flexible enough to adapt to the rapidly changing and wide range of treatment regimens; and a lack of quality reference

Zoot Sports™ was founded in Kona, Hawaii: the home of the Triathlon World Championships. Chrystal Nylin, a Hawaiian native, recognized the need for a cross-functional suit for athletes competing in triathlons. As a solution to having to use transition as "changing areas," she sought to find product solutions for multisport athletes.
Nylin began sewing pads into run shorts, experimenting with swim fabrics, and attaching run singlets to bike shorts to eventually create the Zoot one and two-piece racesuits for triathletes competing in Ironman.
In 1996, Zoot Hawaii moved to the mainland and expanded the product line. It has now grown to be a global premier endurance sports brand, distributed across 22 countries and has introduced the first Triathlon-Specific Footwear Line. Zoot continues to draw on its history in the sport and its athletes to deliver the most comprehensive, technologically-advanced and complete multisport product line in the world.

I mentioned in that post that the images were your 'fix' for the day but it turns out I was wrong as Trailer Addict have managed to get their hands on three, five minute featurettes showing B-Roll footage from behind the scenes on the Predators set. In total, there are 15 minutes of footage! It's broken up into three different parts which I've embedded below.
