Despite many red flags raised over the years, the navy has been operating with a severely stretched underwater fleet. The resignation of the chief offers few answers by Manu Pubby.
In August last year, INS Sindhurakshak went down at the Mumbai harbour after multiple explosions on board. And now, INS Sindhuratna has been rendered inoperable after a battery pit fire that killed two of its officers. These are part of the Indian Navy's Sindhughosh-class or Kilo-class submarines, a potent warfare platform at sea but which is being stretched beyond its design limit. The recent spate of accidents are another wake-up call for modernisation, the only consolation being the induction of cutting-edge platforms like the Vikramaditya aircraft carrier.
While the Scorpene project for six new conventional submarines that are being constructed at Mazagon Dock Limited, Mumbai, is lagging behind time — they'll enter service after 2016 — the navy has, on several occasions, flagged the issue at the highest decision-making body of the Defence Ministry and requested the urgent procurement of new boats. But these have mostly come to nothing.
As successive defence reports, internal assessments and battle simulations have made clear, the one area where the navy lags the most is its underwater fleet. While deficiencies in other critical areas such as mine sweepers and reconnaissance aircraft also exist, the underwater fleet is the one that raises the maximum concern.
Given the platforms that India is inducting — two aircraft carriers this decade, a new range of stealth frigates, a futuristic destroyer fleet — underwater operations have become even more essential. The two carrier battle groups that are planned to be active — Vikramaditya this year and Vikrant by 2018 — also require underwater support.
In September 2009, for example, the navy informed the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) of the Defence Ministry that with the phasing out of older generation vessels, the submarine fleet would halve by 2012. The standing strength of the fleet then was 16 and the worry was that half of these would reach the end of their service life by 2012. This, however, did not inspire much reaction from the ministry and no files moved. A similar presentation made to the ministry in June 2008 also got no one to sit up.
"The writing is on the wall that India has not inducted a new boat since 2000 and the next boat, even if it is the Scorpene, will not be in before 2018. Therefore, the existing platforms have to be exploited beyond their normal endurance for frontline duties. The net result is that India's sea denial …continued »

The Wildcats had scratched across two goals in each of their first two games, and they matched that total in their first game of the Tropical Smoothie Invitational. Don't let the identical final tally fool you; this was the best the Kentucky attack has looked in the young 2012 season.
"I definitely feel like we were very dangerous tonight," UK head coach Jon Lipsitz said. "What I really liked is that we were creating through lots of passing."
Creating through passing is something the Wildcats hadn't done as Lipsitz would like for large chunks of the season's first 180 minutes. UK relied on set pieces to score three of their four goals in wins over Eastern Kentucky and Coastal Carolina. On this night, everything came in the flow of the offense.
Freshman Cara Ledman got the Cats on the board with a goal in the 14th minute, putting the ball past Spartan goalkeeper Jamie Simmons with assists from Caitlin Landis and Arin Gilliland. From there, the Greensboro defense would stiffen, much like it did in a road shutout of then-fifth-ranked Wake Forest, but UK was persistent.
Starting with about 20 minutes left in regulation, the Cats found their feet with a flurry of chances. At the encouragement of Lipsitz, UK kept the pressure on in spite of the risk.
"One bad pass and one mistake and it's one to one," Lipsitz said. "I just kept saying we've got to have the courage to play our style. I'm proud of the way we played."
They were rewarded when Natalie Horner scored her first goal of the season on a cross from Danielle Krohn, giving UK a comfortable 2-0 advantage with less than eight minutes to play.
The two goals the Wildcats scored doubled the amount the Spartans had allowed in their first three games. The one goal Greensboro had yielded came on a penalty kick in an overtime loss to Georgia.
"We knew it was going to be a test. Knowing that, we certainly had their attention all week in training and we trained well," Lipsitz said. "It's no coincidence that when you train well, you play well."
To beat a defense as good as they faced on Friday night, the Cats started at the back.
"(After last weekend's win over EKU) I mentioned we had great individuals in the back line but I didn't think that we were playing together the way we could," Lipsitz said. "Today was phenomenal. It started with our back line and our ability to possess the ball."
Playing twice in a weekend for the first time this season, UK will immediately shift its focus to a game against Southeast Missouri at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday and, just as importantly, to rest and recovery. After playing 22 players in UK's first two games, Lipsitz opted for a shorter rotation when he recognized the 11 players on the field in the second half were playing with great rhythm. The key to surviving two games in less than 48 hours will be sustaining that rhythm.
"The key is to possess the ball," Lipsitz said. "If we come out Sunday and we're chasing the ball, we're going to feel this very quickly. If we're keeping the ball and kicking it around, we're going to be pretty happy with how we feel. When you're playing well and you're scoring goals, somehow nothing hurts."

Marylanders — hands on their hearts, crisply saluting or wiping away tears — lined streets and gathered at landmarks to bid personal farewells to William Donald Schaefer Monday afternoon, as the former mayor and governor was taken on one final trip by motorcade through his beloved Baltimore.
"His heart was in the city, and I wanted to say goodbye," said Bronwyn Mayden, who watched from Lexington Market, near her office at the University of Maryland School of Social Work, where she is an assistant dean.
It was an oft-repeated sentiment along the 14-mile course that served as a partial rewinding of Schaefer's life, one largely lived within the boundaries of a city that bears the legacy of his terms in office.
For two hours, the motorcade traveled to some of the spots nearest and dearest to his heart, from his childhood home in West Baltimore to the Inner Harbor, from Camden Yards to Corned Beef Row, from Federal Hill to Little Italy. Along the way, he would be feted by music — by players from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra to those from the Baltimore Colts turned Baltimore Ravens Marching Band — and heralded with signs, some handmade with messages of gratitude, others old campaign posters, yellowed and faded.
Most touching to the former aides and friends who had choreographed the tour, though, were not the landmarks that he had a hand in building, but the people who gathered along the motorcade route or waited at the stops. Some were fellow politicians he had worked or battled with, some were advocates who represented neighborhoods or causes, most were simply Baltimoreans who came out for one final show of support.
"It was all the people he loved and who loved him," said Lainy LeBow-Sachs, Schaefer's longtime aide, who received multiple flowers and tributes on his behalf. "And that's what he was all about — people, people, people."
The day began in Annapolis, with Schaefer lying in state at the State House for several hours. Then the motorcade, led by motorcycle police and carrying some of Schaefer's closest friends, made its first stop at his childhood home, 620 Edgewood St. in West Baltimore, where a Maryland flag was flying from its porch.
There, a warm and welcoming crowd applauded as the cars approached, waved signs and offered up pots of Schaefer's favored African violets — the kind of scene that would be repeated as the group criss-crossed the city.
"Hi, Schaefer!" one woman said brightly as she patted the hearse bearing his flag-draped casket.
It was that kind of personal gesture that warmed Bob Douglas' heart. The former aide watched as people waved and spoke as if Schaefer could see and hear them and, in some cases, even followed his path to multiple stops.
"My memory is going to be the people, calling out to him as we drove by: 'We love you. We'll never forget you,' " he said. "I saw a woman on Rollerblades at four different stops."
Margaret McCloud, 50, who has lived all her life two doors away from the Schaefer home, remembered him as "a good governor and a good man." Her daughter, Shakeya Hawkins, now 21, once knocked on the door of 620 to ask for an autograph, and his security detail let her in.
McCloud would reconnect with him toward the end of his life — she has been a cook for almost 11 years at the Charlestown retirement community where he lived his final years. It's nice, she said, that he returned home one last time.
Even on streets where the motorcade wasn't stopping, Baltimoreans gathered to bow their heads, take cellphone pictures and applaud.
As the motorcade arrived at Lexington Market — which the former mayor is credited with saving from financial ruin — they rang a bell that once was used to mark the market's opening and closing. In more recent years it has been reserved for special occasions. This one qualified.
"We'll ring it vigorously in honor of a man larger than life," said Bill Devine, who with his wife, Nancy Faidley, often welcomed Schaefer to their seafood counters.
From there, the vehicles headed to the Washington Monument, where some of the city's arts community welcomed them — a brass quartet of BSO players and museum representatives among them.
"I'm here to show respect, reverence — all the Rs you can think of," said Carol Purcell, chairwoman of the Flower Mart that Schaefer supported. She was wearing the kind of flower-bedecked hat seen during that springtime event, and bearing a sign that announced, "Schaefer 'Little Girl' and Proud of It!"
Passing the School for the Arts, the motorcade made its way to the Basilica of the Assumption, where Bishop Denis J. Madden and several neighborhood priests blessed the casket, praying over it and sprinkling it with holy water.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Cowgirls connect for nine 3-pointers to get past San Diego State
Feb 13, 2014 - From staff reports
Home or away, it's usually not a wise move to play a zone defense against the University of Wyoming Cowgirls.
San Diego State found that out first hand Wednesday night.
Wyoming burned the Aztecs' zone for nine 3-pointers in a 69-60 win at Viejas Arena in San Diego. The story was reported by the Wyoming Tribune Eagle.
Juniors Kaitlyn Mileto and Kayla Woodward combined for 37 points to help the Cowgirls snap a four-game Mountain West road losing streak and a five-game winning streak by SDSU in the series.
Wyoming (16-6 overall, 7-4 MW) moves 10 games over .500 overall and three games over .500 in conference play for the first time this season.
"The kids truly wanted to find a road victory and once they relaxed we made some plays down the end," UW coach Joe Legerski said. "It's just nice not to have to answer that question again for me or the players (about the road losing streak). They've been in so many games we just needed some things to go our way."
The Cowgirls had struggled with slow starts in recent MW road games, but not Wednesday night.
UW limited SDSU to 21 first-half points in taking a 35-21 halftime lead. The lead ballooned to as many as 20 points with a little more than 10 minutes to play before SDSU made a late run.
The Aztecs (8-13, 5-6 MW) got as close as four points down the stretch, but back-to-back layups by Woodward and Marquelle Dent in the final minute sealed the victory.
Mileto led the Cowgirls with 20 points, going 5 of 12 on 3-pointers. Her five treys inched her closer to No. 4 all-time with 173. Courtney Stapp is fourth with 183. Woodward added 17 points, eight rebounds and three assists and hit three 3-pointers.
Senior Fallon Lewis chipped in 15 points and nine rebounds and sophomore Marquelle Dent had six points and six assists.
"We attacked the zone really well," Mileto said. "We went inside out and got good looks and we all felt comfortable. Our posts occupied their posts so much they had to be worried about both."
Wyoming, who also played zone on defense most of the game, outrebounded the taller Aztecs 36-34. UW junior Jordan Sibrel led the way on the glass with a career-high 11 rebounds.
"We knew their inside game was so strong, we had to get a number of people to the inside and a zone was the best thing for us to do that," Legerski said. "Jordan Sibrel was big for us inside. She had a great game."
SDSU was led by Cierra Warren's 14 points.
Wyoming returns home to host San Jose State at 2 p.m. on Saturday at the Arena-Auditorium. SJSU beat the Cowgirls 74-68 in San Jose in the first meeting.
Free throws
With the win, Wyoming takes a 25-23 overall series lead over SDSU. Wyoming hadn't won in San Diego since 2011. ... UW improved to 15-1 this season when shooting better than the opponent and 14-2 when leading at halftime. ... Mileto's 20 points gives her 956 on her career. ... Woodward moved into the No. 6 spot all-time in 3-pointers at 159, passing Aubrey Vandiver. She also passed the 500-rebound mark in UW's last game and now 518 in her career, good for No. 16 all-time.

Bentley hits the magic 200mph mark
Bentley has announced its first ever 200mph car.
The Continental GT Speed is the most powerful production Bentley ever. A potent addition to the company's Continental series, the GT Speed gets a wider, lower air intake and more upright radiator grille that also provide increased airflow.
Its 600bhp (610PS) W12 engine develops 15% more torque and 9% more power than the standard Continental GT, while engine efficiency is optimised by the use of lower friction, lighter-weight components and a new engine management system.
All this gives a top speed of 202mph, 0-60mph sprint time of just 4.3 seconds, and a trouser-wetting motoring experience.

Not true. You can put a hard drive on a secondary. Actually, there's one

I'd put HDs on the primary of each IDE and put the CDs on the secondary of
each IDE. Even then, I'd avoid CD-to-CD since it's not that
reliable. Perhaps you've had better experience with CD-to-CD...

Honorary Oscar winner Eli Wallach, who starred in Western classics like "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" has died at 98. But before making a name for himself on the big screen, the actor made his mark in Texas.
Wallach headed west in the 1930s to the University of Texas because tuition was only $30 a year, he had said. It was the middle of the Depression when money was tight for families across the country. He graduated as a Longhorn in 1936.
From other actors, to politicians, newsmen take a look back at the long line of famous Longhorns.

- Clean up your act. Neat papers are likely to get higher grades than sloppy ones. "The student who turns in a neat paper," says Professor Olney, "is already on the way to an A. It's like being served a cheeseburger. No matter how good it really is, you can't believe it tastes good if it's presented on a messy plate."
Speak up. "If I don't understand the principle my teacher is explaining in economics, I ask him to repeat it," says Christopher Campbell. Class participation goes beyond merely asking questions, though. It's a matter of showing intellectual curiosity.
In a lecture on capitalism and socialism, for example, Melendres asked the teacher how the Chinese economy could be both socialist and market-driven, without incurring some of the problems that befell the former Soviet Union. "I don't want to memorize information for tests only," says Melendres. "Better grades come from better understanding."
Study together. The value of hitting the books together was demonstrated in an experiment at the University of California at Berkeley. While a graduate student there, Uri Treisman observed a freshman calculus class in which Asian-Americans, on average, scored higher than other minority students from similar academic backgrounds. Treisman found that the Asian-Americans discussed homework problems together, tried different approaches and explained their solutions to one another.
The others, by contrast, studied alone, spent most of their time reading and rereading the text, and tried the same approach time after time even if it was unsuccessful. On the basis of his findings, Treisman suggested teaching group-study methods in the course. Once that was done, the groups performed equally well.
Test yourself. As part of her note-taking, Domenica Roman highlights points she thinks may be covered during exams. Later she frames tentative test questions based on those points and gives herself a written examination before test day. "If I can't answer the question satisfactorily, I go back and review," she says.
Experts confirm what Roman has figured out for herself. Students who make up possible test questions often find many of the same questions on the real exam and thus score higher.
Do more than you're asked. If her math teacher assigns five problems, Christi Anderson does ten. If the world-history teacher assigns eight pages of reading, she reads 12. "Part of learning is practicing," says Anderson. "And the more you practice, the more you learn."
The most important "secret" of the super-achievers is not so secret. For almost all straight-A students, the contribution of their parents was crucial. From infancy, the parents imbued them with a love for learning. They set high standards for their kids, and held them to those standards. They encouraged their sons and daughters in their studies but did not do the work for them. In short, the parents impressed the lessons of responsibility on their kids, and the kids delivered.

The formula one racing season ended last week. There was considerable excitement in the last race because there were two drivers in contention for the championship.
In the end the favourite won, though not before some drama involving a crash, a push to catch up with the race leaders - with some controversy about overtaking, all very exciting stuff even for the non-fan.
In case you do not follow the sport, formula one racing is a very expensive sport where teams have to build their own cars according to lay down specifications.
The car is a single seat open cockpit, which sits very low on the ground and has substantial front and rear wings. The engine is right behind the driver.
All the cars must have the same engine size. In terms of performance the cars reach speeds of over 300 km/h and have massive breaking and acceleration power to enable them to reach such speeds over very short distance.
From a physics perspective ,the formula one car is designed like an upside down aeroplane, able to move at high speed - the difference being it needs to stick to the ground rather than take off in the air.
For motor heads, the fun is in the car and the strategy of the driver, who overtook whom - usually just in the first corner of the race, or during a pit stop.
Interestingly the strategy that teams employ has some useful medical applications. Because the cars are almost identical, the margin for winning is in the tiniest bit of innovation that a team has, which can change from race to race.
The minimum weight for a formula one car including the driver is 640kg, the weight of three Kenyans after a good wedding luncheon. So the drivers have to be relatively short, lean and fit.
Few are six feet tall. Many are around 5 feet 7 or 8 inches tall. So to try and gain advantage to win, race teams constantly monitor and review each race performance.
If you watch a race, there are times when the cameras cut away to the team mechanics and they spend their time in front of a bank of computer screens, each monitoring some specific aspect of the car's performance.
The car has a sophisticated on-board computer that provides information such as the speed, brake position, tyre pressure and temperature, airflow over and around the car and so on.
Virtually everything that can be monitored is measured, often in real time so that the crew and the driver can make adjustments, sometimes during the race.
If you were to walk into a modern intensive care unit, the scene is the same as that of the formula one racing crew pit. Patients who are very sick need constant monitoring.
This is done by sticking tethered tubes and probes into the patient and connecting these to the various monitors. The patient has to be in the facility and not moving for most of the monitors to work.
Telemetry, technology that allows data measurement at a distance, is difficult in medicine mainly because unlike the car where mechanics can stick cameras and sensors everywhere, in humans there are challenges. Take for example, asthma, a condition that if not properly managed can land a patient in ICU.
The common sign is difficulty in breathing out air. The key issue that needs addressing is what triggers an asthmatic attack. Once the patient knows this then they can avoid the trigger or at least pre-medicate to reduce the effect of the attack.
Asthma like any other chronic disease depends more on the patient self-managing her condition than the doctor treating after the fact. So the patient has to keep a record of what diet (which foods); exercise; stress and anxiety; play in inducing an attack.
In addition, the attack itself when the patient cannot breathe properly is a cause of anxiety and stress. Not very different from the formula one driver driving at 300 km/h and trying to stay focused on everything that needs doing. Except that she usually does not have all the money or the cockpit crew available to monitor and change things in the same way.
So next season watch the formula one racing, not the cars, but the crew in the background. Then think about the statement "non-communicable diseases are on the increase in Kenya".
It is very tough being a patient with a chronic condition. People get used to you and stop appreciating the difficulty you have. A patient with a well managed condition has to have a level of education about the disease above that of a formula one driver and their car.
They have to be able to monitor their condition and self-manage most of it, without the help of sophisticated hospitals or doctors. And even after they see off an attack, there is no podium and celebratory champagne.

John Oliver Explains Net Neutrality Like You've Never Seen It Explained Before
John Oliver's explainer on net neutrality is tonight's overnight must-watch video clip.
John Oliver's explainer on net neutrality is tonight's overnight must-watch video clip.
And it's not even funny. At all. No humor in evidence.
I really hope this kind of crude, humorless pandering isn't what we can expect from Mad Magazine, going forward. And I say that as a life-long fan.
(If you can't see the MP4 video, click below.)
I thought I'd seen massive lock-step right wing smear campaigns before, but the effort the Republican Party and their media parrots have mounted to assassinate the character of freed POW Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is absolutely mind-boggling in its volume and derangement. For example…
On the front page of the Breitbart "News" Network, we currently find at least eighteen articles ranting about Sgt. Bergdahl.
And on HotAir's front page, it's even more ridiculous. As I write this, I count at least twenty-four articles bashing Bergdahl, his father, his father's beard, and of course, President Obama — because Obama is very obviously the real target, and Bergdahl and his family are just collateral damage to these hateful assholes.
And speaking of Republicans and conservatives complaining about Obama being seen with Bergdahl's father and his long, unkempt beard, savor the irony if you will:

Rodgers To Raise Janaury Trasnfer Funds By Offloading £20m Flop
Despite the transfer window being closed, there is always transfer gossip doing the rounds in the papers and we'll keep you up-to-date with the latest news during the coming months. Today, Stewart Downing is on his way out of Anfield.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has told £20m flop Stewart Downing he can leave Anfield in January, according to the Mirror.
The former England winger has been a huge disappointment since arriving at Liverpool in a £20m deal from Aston Villa in the summer of 2011, and is set to end his Anfield nightmare this winter.
Rodgers has used Downing sparingly since taking over in the summer with the winger restricted to cameo's from the bench or a rare start in the Europa League, and he is yet to score a Premier League goal in his 40 appearances for the Reds.
It seems Rodgers has finally decided to call an end to the former Middlesborough stars time at Anfield and he's keen to get his £70,000-a-week wages off the books so he can free up some budget for new signings. The Northern Irishman has told him Downing he is not in his first team plans and he will either be sold or loaned out when the transfer window re-opens in January.

The Merseysiders will be forced to make a huge loss on the £20m they paid out for him just 16 months ago if they do decide to sell. If a buyer can not be found they will loan the 28-year-old out as they did with Andy Carroll to West Ham in the summer.
Are Liverpool fans disappointed to see Downing leave? Should he have been given more time? Get involved in the comments section.

Stellenbosch ( /ˈstɛlənbɒs/)[1][2] is a town in the Western Capeprovince of South Africa, situated about 50 kilometres (30 miles) east of Cape Town, along the banks of the Eerste Rivier. It is the second oldest European settlement in the province, after Cape Town. The town became known as the City of Oaks or Eikestad in Afrikaansand Dutch due to the large number of oak trees that were planted by its founder, Simon van der Stel, to grace the streets and homesteads.[3]
Stellenbosch has its own municipality (incorporating the neighbouring towns of Pniel and Franschhoek), adjoining the greater/metro area of the city of Cape Town.

THE glowing enzyme that enables fireflies to attract their mates can now be switched on and off at will. The technique could be used to improve the detection of bacterial contamination in food processing, say researchers.
A team of biochemists, physicists and electronics engineers from the Universities of Glasgow and Birmingham found that by applying an electric potential of 1.2 volts across a sample of the luciferase enzyme, they can halt the reaction that makes it glow (Chemical Communications, 1996, p 2493). The enzyme is reactivated when the voltage is removed.
Fireflies rely on luciferase, a cofactor called luciferin and the energy molecule ATP to trigger the biochemical chain reaction that generates luminescence. Many living things, including bacteria, rely on ATP to release stored chemical energy while they grow. So food hygienists use luciferase to monitor the concentration of ATP. The enzyme will luminesce increasingly at higher concentrations of ATP, ...

Uncrowded House
For synthy, soulful new band Pajama Club, Neil and Sharon Finn find inspiration in—and diversion from—their now empty nest
After 29 years of marriage and raising two boys, Crowded House frontman Neil Finn and his wife, Sharon, thought they knew everything about each other. But after a glass—or was it four?—of wine late one night in their Auckland home, they learned that wasn't the case. Looking for something to fill their time with the kids out on their own, they stumbled into Neil's dark studio to play some funky music. The result was surprisingly sexy, rhythmic and even a little dangerous—and it spawned a new mom-and-pop band, the Pajama Club.
"I played the drums, and Sharon played bass—instruments we'd never really tried before," says Neil, 53, of that wee-hours session a year ago. "It was quite a revelation that we could hold a groove down. I taped everything for fun, and it actually sounded good—at least in bursts." So much so the Finns found themselves jigging around the living room to the melodies and decided to hit the studio to see if they could turn the tidbits into actual songs.
Their goal was a common one, Sharon says: "Serve the groove. That's what it's all about, especially for this record." And now, the couple is taking that groove public.
Pajama Club's eponymous debut, which drops this month, finds the Finns experimenting with badass funk, soul-dipped dance numbers and quirky electronic effects, all set atop Neil's characteristically sound song structures. Vocals range from ethereal and spooky to raucous and beer swilling. "I know—who'd have thought?" Neil says. "It's rough around the edges. People who don't normally get what I do might like this, and those who usually like what I do might find it a bit mysterious. But I've kind of made a career out of confusing people with new entities, from Split Enz to Crowded House to the Finn Brothers to my solo records. A new, confusing entity has become the norm."
Though Finn has taken risks with his music over his 30-plus-year career, he raises the stakes this time by throwing his marriage into the mix. Sharon, who has a business crafting jewelry and chandeliers out of found objects, often sang with Crowded House on tour, but as partners in the Pajama Club, the Finns now have to contend with the power struggles and clashing visions that have felled many bands—and marrieds. (Ike and Tina, anyone? Or Sonny & Cher, ABBA...?)
Neil has some experience when it comes to mixing family and music. He played with brother Tim in Split Enz and Crowded House and brought son Liam in to take Tim's place when the latter reunited. (Younger son Elroy has also played with the group.) A little humor helps as well. "Being directly involved," Sharon jokes, "meant I got to be there to cast withering looks when Neil went down the wrong track or got too antsy and complicated."
Not many new bands can claim boredom as a creative motivator. But with their home suddenly anything but a crowded house, Neil says,"We had to find something we could both do." Their boys are still surprised, he adds, when they phone up and are asked to call back because "mum and dad are jamming." The new family dynamic spawned "Golden Child," one of the more moving songs on the otherwise upbeat CD. "The whole idea of letting go of your children is so painful, but it's a necessity. That's the duality of having children—you know you're setting yourself up for some loss."
The Finns weren't alone on their journey into experimental funk with a Kiwi twist. They turned to friend and local indie producer Sean Donnelly to add what Neil calls "some weird bits" to the tracks they'd fleshed out. Guitarist buddy Johnny Marr (the Smiths) sits in for a song, and they've brought in Grates drummer Alana Skyring for a tour that has them in America this summer.
So, what will they wear for an audience given that the band came to fruition in jammies? Though she has an array of "stylish pajama hybrids" and he's quite comfy in the standard boxers and T-shirt, Neil says, "We've decided it's best to go onstage fully clothed—in outfits we don't wear to bed. We need to earn our stripes as a band, and playing in our underwear might prove a bit distracting. There's a limit to how far you can take your name."
SONG: "Made in America"
ARTIST: Jay-Z & Kanye West
The prettiest, most inspiring song on Watch the Throne is a meditation on the American dream. Jay-Z and West trade fantastic verses on the road each has traveled. Predictably, Jay-Z's is the best: "I pledge allegiance to all the scramblers," he sings of the hustlers he ran with. "This is the Star-Spangled Banner."
Randall Roberts, L.A. Times
SONG: "Nasty"
ARTIST: Nas
The rapper's last few albums have been "statements": serious, high-minded and about as fun as a physics lecture. But this single is like speeding home in a Bugatti after class has let out—a complete rush of pent-up energy. It may be low on insight, but virtuosity this pure makes a statement on its own.
Andrew Barker, Variety
SONG: "Timber"
ARTIST: Slagwerk Den Haag
Michael Gordon of the new-music collective Bang on a Can, now brings us a mesmerizingly minimalist exercise in lumber. The six players in the Dutch percussion ensemble tap on two-by-fours known as simantras, creating fantastic rhythmic patterns. When a tree falls in this musical forest, you should hear it.
Mark Swed, L.A. Times
SONG: "Fanfarrón"
ARTIST: Fanny Lu
The single from this Colombian bombshell's fall album makes a breakup feel like a celebration. Brassy melodies and a cumbia-pop groove are topped by a raucous call-and-response that segues into the ladies' barroom chant, "Soy más fuerte sin ti ("I'm stronger without you"). Somewhere, J.Lo is dancing.
Monica Herrera, Rolling Stone

Jersey Shore
New Trailer for Vinny's Jersey Shore Shark Attack Movie: Shark Eats Joey Fatone (VIDEO)
In the new trailer for Jersey Shore Shark Attack, we learn a few things about what this SyFy TV movie is all about. For instance, the producers may have spent the majority of the budget on somewhat high-profile actors like Paul Sorvino and The Sopranos' Tony Sirico, leaving the special effects department with nothing but a cardboard shark to work with.
But 'NSYNC's Joey Fatone is there! And, of course, so is our budding thespian buddy Vinny, who plays a TV journalist of some kind, reporting on a series of "white-finned killer albino shark" attacks happening on the Jersey Shore.
Check out the trailer below, which features the aforementioned cardboard shark in many scenes. Vinny's performance, as always, is epic.

By making arguably the least fashion-oriented car ever, Caterham has managed to ride out every fickle trend and economic speed bump the past four decades has chucked at it. It's ironic, then, that the, erm, 'new' Seven 160 is a car that chimes perfectly with the times. It's cheap, it's light, and it makes not very much go a ridiculously long way.
First drive: Caterham Seven 160
The 80bhp sportster's lack of muscle is where its charm lies...
Caterham's new model naming policy uses the car's power-to-weight, so here we're talking about roughly 160bhp-per-tonne. Sounds good, no? Less fizz-inducing is the 80bhp this thing actually makes, while 79 torques would leave the skins on most rice puddings unmolested. But the reality is that this is a fantastic recipe.
The engine is Suzuki's K-car 660cc, three-cylinder unit, boosted by a barely there turbo from 64bhp to 80, at a busy 7000rpm. The five-speed gearbox and live rear axle are also Suzuki-sourced, and the steel wheels are wrapped - if that's the word - in minuscule Avon tyres, 155 section at the front, a thumping 165 at the rear. You'll also find drum brakes back there. A technological powerhouse this is most definitely not.
Despite which, the 160 approaches genius. By reversing its obsession with wringing ever more from its mainstay model, this back-to-basics Seven isn't just highly entertaining, it reconnects you with the idea of driving at its most primal. There's obviously nowhere near enough power for any heroics, but those four tiny rubber contact patches mean that you still have to think about what you're doing rather than lazily relying on electronic chassis wizardry and fat tyres to bail you out.
Caterham underlined this rather romantic ideal by letting us drive the 160 on the Futa pass, an endlessly twisty Tuscan hillside road that the Mille Miglia made famous. It exemplifies all the usual Seven virtues: with its open wheels and tiny body you can place it on the road with millimetric accuracy, looping all the corners together is a doddle thanks to the superb steering, and despite a rear suspension set-up that Methuselah would have rejected as a bit old hat, it actually rides amazingly well and doesn't bounce your backside into the scenery.
As for that little engine, well it's mostly up to the job. It fizzes and chirps along surprisingly sweetly, and the triple's soundtrack and the proximity of the stick-thin exhaust are atmospheric enough. Give it the beans on a straight and it'll hit 60mph in 6.5 seconds, before the Seven's lack of aero sophistication overwhelms it (top speed is 100mph, but that may as well be a distant galaxy).
Up in the hills, the 160 does its best work above 2000rpm, and prefers to stay in third and fourth gear, even when the corners tighten. Dropping it into second is neither a particularly tactile pleasure - the 'box is a bit gnarly - or an aural one, and every one of those 79 torques is on your side so there's enough grunt. Exposure to the elements means you always feel as though you're going faster than you really are, and the truth is that you'll struggle to shake off a well-driven Fiat Panda. But it's still massive fun.
Besides, the 160's lack of muscle means you're free to plot the perfect line rather than heaving in and out of every corner like an ape. On greasy, leaf-strewn Italian roads, even 80bhp is enough to keep you sharp, and the Seven is so beautifully balanced and so light (just 490kg) that you can make progress with the lightest of touches on the controls, including a 'dab of oppo' where necessary.
If this all sounds a bit pipe and slippers, don't be fooled. Toyota's corking GT86 is TG's reigning car of the year, and it's an over-wrought lard-bucket compared to the 160. Build it yourself and prices start at £14,995. Factory-built, the 160 costs £17,995. Either way, it's a gem.

Tornado numbers still at all-time lows for the modern record.
Tornado touches down near Denver International Airport
DENVER - A confirmed tornado touched down near Denver International Airport Tuesday afternoon, sending travelers on the concourse, on planes and in the terminal scrambling to get into tornado shelters.
The tornado, spotted on the eastern side of the main terminal, was described as moving northeast at 5 miles per hour before it lifted, weakened and then dissipated, according to photographer and storm chaser at NewsChannel5's sister station in Denver.
The initial reports of a funnel were first reported around 2:18 p.m.
It brought with it 97 mph wind gusts and some hail, according to the National Weather Service. However, no injuries or damage were reported.
Travelers at DIA were instructed to seek shelter in designated areas such as the restrooms, stairwells, and basement, leaving the concourse eerily empty for about 30 minutes.
Ashley Picillo, who was flying out to Seattle, said she was eating lunch when announcements began.
"We were very quickly escorted into the shelters. A lot of people were brought into bathrooms. We were actually brought into a lower level stairwell," Picillo said. "They brought water in for people, did a really nice job keeping everyone informed."
"We want all the people, if they are at the airport to move away from the windows, get themselves into one of those designated shelter areas, that's the safest place to be right now," said DIA spokesman Heath Montgomery when the tornado warning was first issued.
The all-clear was sounded at the airport around 2:45 p.m. and all tornado warnings for the area have been expired. However, it appears that all flights are delayed for about 30 minutes.
"We're very thankful all the passengers listened to the emergency announcements. Employees took it seriously and employees helped passengers with sheltering ... We stuck to our emergency plan," said DIA spokeswoman Laura Coale.
Members of the Colorado Rapids team were already boarded on a plane, heading for Chicago, when they were taken off the plane and escorted to the basement and bathrooms.
A Frontier spokeswoman said all Frontier aircraft that were loaded were off loaded and all moved to safe areas in the terminal and employees did the same.
The customer relations and service offices located near the airport also evacuated to safe areas as well, but they are now back to work online and on the phone, said Frontier spokeswoman Kate O'Malley.
KMGH meteorologist Matt Makens said a trained spotter reported two potential tornadoes on the ground. The DIA operations center also reported one possible touchdown.
Additionally, quarter-size hail was reported.

In the past years my mother and I were in charge of the maintenance and care for them. My mother retired last year and I'm too busy at work that we decided to sell everything. We want to sell the complete car collection including the running cars, not running cars, chassis, body parts, motors, transmissions, differentials and spare parts that my dad and I collected over the years. Neither of us have either the time or the interest in selling all the cars one by one, so we are looking for a company or an individual with the means to buy everything. We've had a few inquires but none have work out yet. I'm contacting you because we think you may be interested or know someone that may be interested in this opportunity. . We don't have a complete inventory of all the parts and don't have the time to really complete it but we are including all parts in this deal. I have pictures of everything that we are selling. Pictures will only be made available to serious and committed buyers. The best way to contact me is by email at [email protected]. I'll reply promptly. Attached is a partial list of the cars that we'll be selling. We are working on the complete car list. Thank you for your time and we hope to hear from you soon.

Nathan Fletcher remains the front-runner in San Diego's Nov. 19 special mayoral election, but Kevin Faulconer is closing the gap and David Alvarez is garnering a little more support, according to a new U-T San Diego/10News poll.
The poll of likely voters shows Fletcher leading with 32 percent compared to 28 percent for Faulconer and 20 percent for Alvarez.
A similar poll three weeks ago had Fletcher, the former assemblyman now working as a Qualcomm executive, with 30 percent, while City Councilman Faulconer was at 22 percent and Councilman Alvarez at 17 percent.
Former City Attorney Mike Aguirre drew 8 percent in the new survey, down 1 point from the previous survey.
The two polls conducted by SurveyUSA, and others with similar numbers, show it is likely none of the top-tier candidates can get more than the 50 percent required to be elected outright and avoid a runoff between the top two finishers.
Four percent of respondents in the new poll cited one of the seven other lesser-known candidates on the ballot and just 8 percent said they remain undecided, down from 15 percent in the late September SurveyUSA poll.
"It's tightened up a little bit," said Jay Leve, founder and editor of New Jersey-based SurveyUSA. "Fletcher is definitely still the guy to beat, but by no means is the battle over."
Tested in head-to-head matchups, Fletcher defeated Faulconer 46 percent to 36 percent, according to the poll. Those two easily top Alvarez and Aguirre.
Leve said the campaigns show clear delineations in their ideologic support. Faulconer is strongly backed by Republican, conservative and white voters and those who cite fiscal responsibility as the key attribute in the next mayor.
Fletcher is backed by Democrats, people with college degrees and those who value bipartisanship. Alvarez's base of support comes from Latinos, blacks and voters focused on leadership.
Since the last poll, Fletcher picked up nine points among Democrats while Alvarez, despite institutional Democratic Party and organized labor support, gained five points.
"If Faulconer succeeds in turning out the vote, he will do well," Leve said. "If Fletcher succeeds at mobilizing young and older voters and those across the political and education spectrum that he may well hang on in the special election."
SurveyUSA interviewed 875 city of San Diego adults Monday through Thursday. Of those, 748 were registered to vote and 513 identified themselves as likely to vote in the special election.
The poll among likely voters has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points. The results come from an automated survey of households selected at random with the questions asked identically.
Campaigns are now ratcheting up mail, advertising and get-out-the-vote efforts. Each of the top three has the money they need for that element of their campaigns, with the latest reports showing Alvarez and groups supporting him raising more than $1 million. Fletcher and committees backing him have raised $765,000, while Faulconer and his supporters have amassed $635,000. Aguirre has less than $5,000.
The money behind Alvarez comes chiefly from local, state and national labor sources, the result of his winning backing from the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council stemming from his progressive stances on worker and city issues.
