Nmh is p great. Can't wait to play it some more after band practice tomorrow.
My desktop decided to brick on me a few months ago, and since Thailand pulled an Atlantis I can't find any cheap hard drives to remedy the issue. Can't play crap on this craptop so I'm stuck going back to my consoles for the time being. :/
The first No More Heroes is easily the best game on the Wii.

Yesterday afternoon the Cleveland Browns found a way to lose their eighth game of the season in The House That Jerry Built. After leading 13-0 at halftime, the Browns went into prevent defense–and offense. By 'prevent' I mean it prevented the Browns from winning. Cleveland was outscored 23-7 in the second half and overtime. Pat Shurmur and Dick Jauron made questionable call after questionable call. The young secondary got beat up and down the field leading to multiple penalties resulting in first downs for the Cowboys. As fun as it was to watch the first half it was heart-breaking to watch the second half.
That being said, the Cowboys reiterated what we already knew about our team. We are young on both sides of the football and our coaching staff has lacked play calling and more importantly player discipline. Our defense was penalized ten times and while I agree some of that is because of youth it is also because of a lack of discipline.
The Cowboys did not only point out flaws in the Browns' offense and defense, they also unintentionally pointed out some rules that need to be addressed. I am not questioning the calls made by the officials, though there were some very questionable calls (blown false start, for example.). However, I am questioning the rules. I understand the meaning behind this rule, but not charging a timeout to a team with an injured player after a penalty is opening up doors for teams to fake injuries like the New York Giants were questioned about in the past. I think that both Ogletree and Harris were legitimately banged up on both penalties that resulted in injury timeouts, but what is going to stop another receiver from getting hit late in the game, seeing the yellow flag, and staying down to get a timeout for his team to regroup? It is not meant to stop the clock, but it gives a team the chance to catch their breath and make a more thought out play call. The referees are just doing their job, but I think this rule will get looked at some day when a player mysteriously gets hurt after a penalty.
A second rule that should be examined is that a fumble ruled an incomplete pass is not reviewable. In overtime Miles Austin dropped a pass from Tony Romo. The Browns played it as a fumble and fell on the ball. When the play was taken a closer look at during a Browns timeout, Ed Hochuli pointed out that the play is actually not reviewable–he pointed it out multiple times I might add. When the replay was shown the play was much closer than it was in real time. While I agree that Austin never had complete possession of the ball, it should still be reviewed. If they had ruled the play a fumble they would have been able to review the play because it was a turnover and they most likely would have overturned the call and it would have remained Dallas ball. Why have one way reviewable and the other not? If that's the case, always call it a fumble so you can review it.
The third and final rule I would change is letting Ed Hochuli have a microphone. Some people say that instant replay slows the game down. Well, so does Hochuli's explanations. I am all for being thorough, but a good official can do that in one sentence, not a monologue.
Were the Browns robbed? What other rules need examined? Let me know in the comment section or on Twitter @Believelander.

Dummy Mix 58 // 2011, the staff mix
Wu Lyf, CREEP, Cassie and more on Dummy editors and correspondents' choices for the most exciting music for the year ahead
The stars of tomorrow to catch at Brighton's annual new music conference.
Published: 10/05/12
For industry workers and curious fans, Brighton's May blowout has risen from endearingly shonky (and rather unendearingly indie-schmindie-orientated) dash around town to a date rivalled only by SXSW and CMJ as the essential new music festival. With over 300 bands playing, there is, to be totally frank, a great deal of chaff with the wheat, but the wheat is pretty strong. Below are our list of tips, we hope that they're useful.

Some of the most classic and best desserts in the entire world are naturally gluten free. Chocolate Mousse is one of them. In college, my girlfriends and I used to visit our local French restaurant mid-afternoon once or twice a week simply to enjoy their Chocolate Mousse. I still remember how amazing it tasted each and every time. That first bite of Chocolate Mousse is sublime for a chocolate lover. But we didn't rush a single bite. We each savored our chocolate mousse. Of course, if you are eating your Chocolate Mousse "out" now that you are gluten free, be sure to verify the gluten-free status of ingredients and ensure that there are no gluten cross contact issues. But at home, it can really be quite easy to make great (and safe) Chocolate Mousse. Especially if you have this recipe from Zoe at Z's Cup of Tea. Her recipe is gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free, and pretty easy to make. There are a few steps with separating the eggs and beating the whites and such, but honestly the hardest part of making this recipe will be waiting for it to chill enough to take that very first bite!

The school buses will continue to run for now but we are still in danger of losing our buses in a couple of years if we can't get fiscal responsibility back into our schools.
In 2009 Muncie schools transferred $800,000 from the transportation fund and $300,000 from the bus replacement fund to the rainy day fund. Larry Riley reported (Oct. 27) that the State Board of Accounts slapped their wrist for siphoning $200,000 from the transportation fund to pay administrators.
And this may be only the tip of the iceberg. Of the three bonds Muncie schools is paying, two are about to be payed off but instead of using that money to pay for school buses they accelerated the payments on the remaining bond. Then there is all those underused iPads the school couldn't afford.
But they had a plan.
Guilt the taxpayers into agreeing to pay more taxes. Their new plan, repeal the law that protects pensions so that the money that should go to teachers pensions can be used to pay for buses. Where is the fiscal responsibility? They could apply for a low-interest distressed loan from the state but if the law protecting pensions is not repealed, they would rather call for layoffs.

he water was a mysterious effervescence of cerulean and aquamarine and indigo and turquoise, the air was dappled gold. A sheer cliff rose from a white sand beach; from far above, a tiny landslide of pebbles cascaded down. No one else seemed to notice. A slow scan of the hillside revealed first one, then two sets of tiny hooves picking their zig-zag path toward the ocean. I was sure that the angle was impossibly steep; no matter how sure-footed, these baby goats would certainly plummet to a premature death. I didn't realize I was holding my breath until I exhaled in relief. They bleated and turned tail, trotting down the beach in unison, in search of what, I couldn't imagine.
The cook — who'd also doubled as captain of the tiny boat that had brought a small group of us to this paradise — presented my cheese and tomato omelet with a flourish. I took a huge bite of buttery goodness, closed my eyes, and sighed. This was the life.
Without a perfectly timed mistake, I'd never have made it to that sublime moment in Sfakia. More than a decade later, I can recall that jewel of a day as clearly as if it were yesterday. But at the time, the comedy of errors that led me to that nearly deserted beach (save a few intrepid souls and a pair of baby goats) felt like one disaster after another.
I'd been traveling for weeks with an old friend, and frankly, we were getting on each other's nerves. She was a frantic adherent of guidebooks. I was in the let's-see-what-happens camp. She'd promised we would be free to split up whenever we liked on our month-long jaunt to Europe, but in truth, she never wanted to be alone. It seemed easiest to just submit to her iron will.
Next thing I knew, I'd been talked into buying a ticket to Sfakia, since that was where she wanted to go next. It was all fraught, especially because I had no real interest in schlepping all over Crete so that we could visit some obscure friend I'd never even met. Nonetheless, back then I preferred to avoid making waves at any cost, so there we were, cranky and tired, trying to decipher the Greek map and figure out when the next bus left.
Finally, through a series of notes, hand gestures and the annoying American habit of shouting English extremely slowly, we received assurance that our bus would be the next along. Hours of steep rutted roads later, we pulled into a tiny town with just one main street. She found a pay phone to call her friend to come collect us. It took a long time. While I waited, I watched the sun sink toward the horizon, while ridiculously charming fishing boats bobbed alongside a tiny dock. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
When she finally returned, she had a face that said bad news. "It's a disaster," she said, her voice funereal. "It turns out she lives in Sfaka."
"So? That's where we're at, right?"
"No. This is Sfakia."
Turns out that one little letter made a big difference. Since we never actually made it there, I'll have to rely on the Internet, which tells me that Sfaka is a little mountain village between Agios Nikolaos and Sitia. The good news is, as it turns out, that Sfakia — the place where I ate the best omelete of my life and watched those sure-footed goatlings — is paradise on earth. That's where I said a relieved farewell to my traveling companion, electing to stay right where I was, in a little town of 400 inhabitants, a place where you could wake up and decide to hop on a boat and wind up on a beach with water so blue you think that it surely must be a dream.
It's a memory that sometimes comes to mind on restless nights; a reminder that possibilities come to life when you finally give up the illusion that you're in control of what happens next.
Whether by design or by accident, all of the intrepid travelers in this issue have stories to tell about their journeys. I hope you enjoy their tales as much as I have.

If you've never been to Tahoe's Snowfest celebration than you have to come check it out. If you have attended it then you need to come back and see all the stuff you missed last time. Snowfest is that big and there's so much going on that takes a few years to catch it all.
It's been around since 1982 and has grown each season, shedding some events to add others that are more fun. This year, some smaller events start before the big Torchlight Parade and fireworks at Squaw on Friday, March 5. But this parade is truly an experience and a large draw. One of the new gigs is an '80's Retro Dance Party at the Cornice Cantina in Squaw's parking lot right after the torchlight.
The next day it jumps into more downhill action with the Transworld Snowboarding Magazine TransAm and the Sick & Twisted Freestyke Tour / Rail Jam. But my favorite things to attend on that first Saturday are the Pancake Breakfast and Tahoe City Snowfest Parade. Since I've been here too long I don't know how this sounds but: the coolest thing in the parade are the loaders hoisting and moving their huge buckets all over the place – actually the most impressive part to me is that half of them are run by twelve-year-old kids! Also on Saturday is the Polar Bear swim at GarWoods – brrrr!
On Sunday you can watch or sweat your pancakes off during the Great Race from Tahoe City to Truckee. This is for insaniacs with ski poles and my strangest friends usually partake. It's one of the biggest races of its kind in the West. Then there's the Dog Pull (ever seen a Chihuahua pull a keg in a sled? I didn't think so.), Human Bowling and the Sunnyside Luau.
So these are the first three days of the 10-day celebration. For more check out the Snowfest website and especially the event schedule. See you somewhere!!!

For the week ending on Mar. 23, Apple logged iOS distribution at 85 percent, which represents a two-percent uptick from the week ending Mar. 9.
Adoption of Apple's iOS 7 has been growing steadily after it launched in September of 2013. One week after its debut, the version accounted for 52 percent of iOS web share, a statistic that jumped to 74 percent in early December. Later that month, Apple announced iOS 7 was on 78 percent of compatible devices.
During Apple's quarterly conference call for the first fiscal quarter of 2014 in January, CFO Phil Schiller reported 80 percent of compatible iOS devices had switched over to the company's latest operating system. That number jumped to 83 percent in February, according to ad network Chitika and Apple's own developer webpage.
As iOS 7 adoption steadily grows, share of the last-generation iOS 6 shrinks and now stands at 12 percent. Hardware running earlier operating systems combine to represent the remaining 3 percent share.
Likely contributing to this month's growth is the release of iOS 7.1, which brought CarPlay support, Touch ID enhancements and provisions for mass device deployment operations.

Fate decreed that Group A was to be the tightest group of all at the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2009, with three potential title-winners going head-to-head. In the end, there were to be no surprises, as Nigeria, Argentina and Germany all progressed to the second round. Honduras, who will be cursing their luck in the draw for a long time to come, caused all three opponents problems, but ultimately failed to win any points.
The final standings
1. Nigeria (7 points)
2. Argentina (6)
3. Germany (4)
4. Honduras (0)
Upcoming matches
Argentina-Colombia, Ijebu-Ode, Wednesday 4 November, 16:00 (local time)
Switzerland-Germany, Lagos, Wednesday 4 November, 19:00 (local time)
Nigeria-New Zealand, Abuja, Thursday 5 November, 19:00 (local time)
The tale of the teams
Nigeria knew that the hopes of a nation were resting on their shoulders, which perhaps explains why the pressure got to them in their opening match. The Golden Eaglets were being completely outclassed by Germany, losing 3-0 after a hour in their home World Cup. From somewhere, however, they found the mental strength to get back into the game, scoring three goals without reply to secure a point, and they have not looked back since. Since then, they have recorded a 1-0 win over Honduras and beaten Argentina 2-1. The Albicelestes, who finished as group runners-up, will no doubt be regretting their decision to field a weakened team, which may well have been what deprived them of top spot. In their previous games, they had done what was required of them and notched up two wins, while putting in mediocre performances.
Germany, on the other hand, were perilously close to a first-round exit, and would only have had themselves to blame had it come to pass. Leading 3-0 against Nigeria and 1-0 against Argentina after making flawless starts, the Mannschaft inexplicably fell apart to record a draw and a defeat respectively. But in their final group game, the European champions managed to pull off the opposite feat, overturning a deficit to beat Honduras 3-1 and thus ensure a best third-placed finish. So while the unfortunate Catrachos had nothing to lose, they ended up suffering defeat in all three of their matches. They can, however, be proud of their performance, having only lost by a single goal to both Argentina and Nigeria, and taken the lead against Germany.
Memorable moments
Beaten at their own game: In footballing folklore, fighting till the last second and overcoming a hopeless situation is seemingly a uniquely German trait. Yet on the opening day of Nigeria 2009, the tables were very much turned, as the Mannschaft had to settle for a 3-3 draw, despite having led 3-0 after an hour's play. Clearly inspired by their opponent's great feats of the past, Nigeria managed to beat the comeback kings at their own game.
It only takes a minute: When Honduras opened the scoring in the second-half of the final group match, it looked like Germany would be on the next plane home, but Lennart Thy had other ideas, which he put into action in the space of a minute. Having equalised in the 55th minute, he struck again straight after the restart to put the Mannschaft on course for the second round. Ironically, the reason why this was such a high-pressure match for Germany was because in their previous match against Argentina, they themselves had conceded two goals in a minute, and almost at the exact same time (56th and 57th minute).
Ploughing a lone furrow: Drawn in a group with three heavyweights, Honduras decided to play it safe most of the time, using captain Antony Lozano as the lone frontman. It was a tactic which failed to secure the Catrachos a single point, but allowed their centre-forward to shine. With his speed, power, technique and impudence, he was more than a handful for the defenders tasked with marking him.
The stat
45 - At the end of the group stage, Nigeria had played more FIFA U-17 World Cup matches than any other African country. Until then, the continental record (43 matches) was held by Ghana, who did not qualify for Nigeria 2009.
The words
"If we exit the tournament with no points, but in a few years' time this generation goes on to raise the level of Honduran football, then I'll have done my job." Eugenio Umanzor, Honduras coach

November 26, 2015
NEW YORK (October 11, 2012)--ABC's Robin Roberts is home from the hospital three weeks after receiving a bone marrow transplant.
After thanking her doctors and nurses and singing "Amen," the "Good Morning America" host began the next stage of recovery from MDS, a blood and bone marrow disease.
Her sister was the donor of the bone marrow.
While leaving the hospital after a month is a big first step.
Roberts' doctor explained that it still will take time for her to gather strength and build up her immune system.
"Good Morning America," now the top-rated network morning show, aired a story about Wednesday's homecoming.
The show has brought in occasional celebrity guest hosts such as Stephen Colbert to fill in for Roberts.

Josiah Celebrates the Passover
(2 Kings 23.21-23; 2 Chronicles 35.1-9)
1King Josiah celebrated the Passover at Jerusalem in honor of the Lord; on the fourteenth day of the first month they killed the animals for the festival. 2Josiah assigned the priests, dressed in their priestly robes, to serve in the Temple according to the daily order. 3He also instructed the Levites, the Temple servants, to purify themselves for the Lord's service, so that they could put the sacred Covenant Box of the Lord in the Temple that King Solomon, the son of David, had built. 4Josiah said to them, "You must no longer carry it from place to place, but you are to serve the Lord your God and minister to his people Israel. Get ready by family and clan to carry out your duties 5#2 Ch 8.14 according to the directions given by King David and the splendid way that they were carried out by his son King Solomon. Take your places in the Temple in proper order according to your family divisions as Levites serving the Lord for the people of Israel. 6Kill the Passover lambs and goats and prepare the sacrifices for your people. Then celebrate the Passover according to the instructions that the Lord gave to Moses."
7Josiah gave to the people who were present 30,000 young sheep and goats and 3,000 calves. These were a gift from the royal estates to carry out the promise he had made to the people, the priests, and the Levites. 8The officials in charge of the Temple—Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel—also gave the priests 2,600 sheep and 300 calves for the sacrifices during the festival. 9And the army commanders—Conaniah, Shemaiah and his brother Nethanel, Hashabiah, Ochiel, and Joram—contributed 5,000 sheep and 700 calves for the Levites to offer as sacrifices.
10-11Here is what happened. The priests and the Levites, dressed in the proper manner and carrying the unleavened bread, came that morning to present the offerings to the Lord according to the instructions in the Law of Moses. They took their positions in front of the people in the order of tribal and family divisions. 12#Ex 12.89 The Levites roasted the Passover sacrifices and then boiled them in pots and kettles, making a pleasant smell. 13Then they distributed the meat to all the people. After that was done, they took meat for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, 14because the priests were kept busy until night burning the fat of the sacrifices. 15-16The guards at the Temple gates and the Temple singers of the Levite clan of Asaph (with Asaph, Zechariah, and Eddinus, who were representatives of the king) remained at the places assigned to them by King David's instructions. They did not need to leave their posts, because the other Levites prepared the Passover for them.
17-18So, as King Josiah had commanded, everything that related to the sacrifices offered to the Lord was done that day; the Passover Festival was celebrated, and the sacrifices were offered on the altar. 19#Ex 12.1-20 All the people of Israel who were present at that time kept the Passover and observed the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days. 20Since the days of the prophet Samuel, the Passover had never been celebrated so well. 21-22None of the former kings of Israel had ever celebrated a Passover like this one celebrated by King Josiah in Jerusalem in the eighteenth year of his reign; it was celebrated by the priests, the Levites, and all the people of Judah and Israel.
The End of Josiah's Reign
(2 Kings 23.28-30; 2 Chronicles 35.20-27)
23The Lord was pleased with everything Josiah did, for he was a very religious man. 24But the ancient records also tell the story of those who sinned and rebelled against the Lord during Josiah's reign. They sinned more than any other nation or kingdom and did things that offended the Lord so much that his judgment fell on the people of Israel.
25After Josiah had done all these things, the king of Egypt led an army to fight at Carchemish on the Euphrates River. Josiah tried to stop him, 26but the king of Egypt sent Josiah this message: "The war I am fighting does not concern you, King of Judah. 27The Lord God did not send me to fight you; my battle is on the Euphrates River. The Lord is with me, and he is urging me on; so withdraw your troops and don't oppose the Lord." 28But Josiah did not go back to his chariot and withdraw. He refused to listen to what the Lord had said through the prophet Jeremiah and decided to fight. 29He went into battle on the plain of Megiddo, and the Egyptian commanders attacked him.
30King Josiah ordered his servants, "Take me off the battlefield; I'm badly hurt." So they took him out of the line of battle immediately, 31and he got into a second chariot and was taken back to Jerusalem. There he died and was buried in the royal tomb. 32All the people of Judah mourned his death.
The prophet Jeremiah composed a lament for King Josiah. It has become a custom in Israel for the leaders and their wives to sing this song when they mourn for him. 33These things are recorded in The History of the Kings of Judah. Everything that Josiah did, how he gained his fame and his understanding of the Law, what he did earlier and what is told here, is all recorded in The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
King Joahaz of Judah
(2 Kings 23.30-35; 2 Chronicles 36.1-4)
34The people of Judah chose Josiah's son Joahaz#1.34: Joahaz; some manuscripts have Jeconiah. and made him king. Joahaz was twenty-three years old, 35and he ruled Judah and Jerusalem for three months. Then the king of Egypt deposed him 36and made the nation pay 7,500 pounds of silver and 75 pounds of gold as tribute. 37#Jr 22.1112 The king of Egypt appointed Joahaz's brother Jehoiakim king of Judah and Jerusalem. 38Jehoiakim put the leading men of the nation in prison, then had his brother Zarius arrested and brought back from Egypt.
King Jehoiakim of Judah
(2 Kings 23.36—24.7; 2 Chronicles 36.5-8)
39 # Jr 22.1819Jr 26.1 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king of Judah and Jerusalem. He sinned against the Lord. 40#Dn 1.12 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia invaded Judah, captured Jehoiakim, and took him to Babylonia in bronze chains. 41Nebuchadnezzar also carried off some of the sacred utensils from the Temple and put them in his own temple in Babylon. 42The stories about Jehoiakim, his depravity, and the godless way he lived are recorded in The Chronicles of the Kings.
King Jehoiachin of Judah
(2 Kings 24.8-17; 2 Chronicles 36.9, 10)
43Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he succeeded his father Jehoiakim as king, 44and he ruled in Jerusalem for three months and ten days. He too sinned against the Lord. 45#Jr 22.24-30Jr 24.1Jr 29.12Ez 17.12 A year later King Nebuchadnezzar had Jehoiachin taken to Babylonia as a prisoner; Nebuchadnezzar also carried off sacred utensils from the Temple. 46Then he made Zedekiah king of Judah and Jerusalem.
King Zedekiah of Judah
(2 Kings 24.18-20; 2 Chronicles 36.11, 12; Jeremiah 52.1-3a)
Zedekiah was then twenty-one years old, and he ruled for eleven years. 47He sinned against the Lord and refused to listen to the prophet Jeremiah, who spoke the word of the Lord.
The Fall of Jerusalem
(2 Kings 25.1-21; 2 Chronicles 36.13-21; Jeremiah 52.3b-11)
48 # Ez 17.15 Although King Nebuchadnezzar had forced Zedekiah to swear in the Lord's name that he would be loyal to him, Zedekiah broke his oath and rebelled against him. He stubbornly refused to obey the commands of the Lord, the God of Israel. 49In addition, the leaders of the people and even the chief priests did more godless and lawless things than all the corrupt heathen; they defiled the Temple of the Lord, which he had made holy. 50The God of their ancestors had continued to send prophets to call them back from their sins, because he wanted to spare them and the Temple. 51But when the Lord spoke through his prophets, the people made fun of them and laughed. 52At last the Lord became so angry with his people and their depraved ways that he ordered the kings of Babylonia to attack them. 53The Babylonians killed the young men of Judah all around the Temple and did not spare anyone, young or old, man or woman. The Lord handed them all over to their enemies. 54The Babylonians carried off all the sacred utensils from the Temple, the treasure chests,#1.54: treasure chests; some manuscripts have the equipment of the Covenant Box. and the wealth of the king; they took everything away to Babylon, leaving nothing behind. 55They burned down the Temple, broke down the city wall, set fire to its towers, 56and completely destroyed all its beauty. Nebuchadnezzar forced all the survivors to be led away to Babylon, 57where they served him and his descendants as slaves until the rise of the Persian Empire. And so what the Lord had foretold through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: 58#Jr 25.11Jr 29.10 "The land will lie desolate for seventy years to make up for the Sabbath rest#1.58: Sabbath Rest: A reference to the requirement of the Law that every seventh year the land was not to be farmed (see Lv 25.1-7). that has not been observed."

Donors tend to be more generous if they can choose the recipients or purpose of their donations by themselves. This is confirmed by a field experiment the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) and the University of Bonn arranged. The experiment was conducted in 57,325 households in Germany. The findings indicate that it is worth while for charitable organisations to give their donors a certain scope for decision-making. read more

Chicago's 1-3 skid after a 7-1 start might have put Lovie Smith's job in jeopardy again. It should.
Chicago's 1-3 skid after a 7-1 start might have put Lovie Smith's job in jeopardy again. It should.
It's not just that the Bears lose, it's how they keep losing and who they keep losing to. Smith is the third-winningest coach in Bears history, but he is also 19-38 against teams that finished with a winning record.
If the Bears go 2-2, this will be his fourth season with 10 wins in nine years, but two look like flukes. In 2005 and 2010, Chicago outscored its opponents by 58 and 48 points. Division runner-up Green Bay outscored teams by 148 points in 2010. Guess which team went on to win the Super Bowl?
Chicago doesn't even beat good teams in its four best years. The 2006 Super Bowl team beat only two teams with winning records. Lovie's four best teams are a combined 32-6 against teams .500 and below and 10-11 vs. winning teams.
Why can't they beat good teams? Because they are too timid. Devin Hester told me in 2010: "This offense is built for the defense to get a lot of turnovers." The Bears are the only "good" team that needs turnovers to score. Their four best teams have scored 13 or fewer points in 13 of their 17 losses.
Nice reaction
NIU players had a great response to ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit calling it "an absolute joke" that the Huskies qualified for the Orange Bowl. They stood up for themselves, but didn't get angry. Even throwing oranges at Herbstreit's TV image was playful.
"I was actually dead on with that one," quarterback Jordan Lynch said of his fruitful toss. "It felt good. It's just one of those things. He was disrespecting our family. It was all a lot of fun, playing around, throwing oranges."
No great loss
Bret Bielema leaving Big Ten champ Wisconsin to coach SEC also-ran Arkansas looks bad for the Big Ten, but could be good for the Badgers. Bielema was 1-4 in his last five bowls. After a 12-1 first season, he was 56-23 the last six years in a down Big Ten. He is a fairly good coach, but Wisconsin can do better. Of course, teams can always do worse when they dump a middling coach. Just ask the Illini.

Nissan Motor Co. said it will begin selling its souped-up Juke-R in tightly limited numbers on a build-to-order basis. The vehicle, which combines the company's compact crossover platform and the turbocharged engine from its GT-R supercar, made its debut earlier this year in Dubai.
While the first Juke-R, meant as a one-off demonstration vehicle uses running gear from a 2010 GT-R the production model gets the 2012 GT-R's 545-horsepower engine. Nissan also produced a series of short videos about the Juke-R's development and construction, which stoked the interest of driving enthusiasts.
You can watch a video of the Juke-R after the jump.
Nissan has been developing a souped-up version of the compact Juke crossover vehicle that in some ways captures the spirit of the 1960s Shelby Cobra.
Almost 50 years ago race-car builder Carroll Shelby's idea of putting a big American V8 into a tiny English sports car was delightful overkill. But the resulting Cobra sports cars outperformed many exotic models of the period.
Today, installing a 485-horsepower turbocharged V6 from the Nissan GTR supercar in a modified Juke seems like the rough modern-day equivalent.
What happens when a car company takes the engine from its most powerful, most expensive sports car and shoe-horns it into one of its compact entry-level crossovers?
In Nissan's case you get the Juke-R, a slammed, tire-shredding version of the Juke crossover powered by the 480-horsepower turbocharged V6 motor from the company's flagship GT-R. Nissan unveiled the concept vehicle as a "surprise guest" at the end of a press conference for another vehicle in Spain.

Does Acer have Apple envy?
updated 07:55 pm EDT, Tue September 21, 2010
Editorial: Acer next in line of Apple imitators
Acer is well on its way to becoming the world's largest PC manufacturer. And it has done that by capitalizing on the success of Windows. But now the company is taking aim at Apple, and it's becoming evident that it's the latest victim of a bipolar behavior in the tech industry whenever Apple is a competitor.
Earlier this month, Acer veteran Stan Shih said that Apple's products are "mutant viruses" that, over time, will be overcome by competition that "evolves naturally" and outlasts the threat Apple's products pose. He pointed to the success of Windows to prove his point. He also believed that Android will follow a Windows-like pattern and take out iOS.
Perhaps that's why Acer seems ready to invest some of its cash into Google's mobile platform. Recent reports suggest the PC maker will be offering three tablets at the beginning of next year to compete with Apple's iPad. If true, they will all be powered by Android 3.0 when it's made available. So far, Acer has been tight-lipped on the release of the products other than one model, and reports are merely rumors at this point. But it's becoming clearer that the company will be delivering tablets sooner rather than later. And when that happens, Acer fully expects to compete with Apple's iPad.
But at this point, Acer isn't competing in the tablet space -- at all. And one could argue that it's hardly a direct competitor to Apple in any market, including the PC space where it's far more focused on beating HP than anything else. That means focusing on cheap computers and tight profit margins. That's seemingly at odds with challenging a company that prides itself on high-quality (and thus expensive) products where market share is an incidental worry.
And yet, Acer seems to have Apple envy. That Shih calls the company's products mutant viruses seems to prove that point quite handily; it's afraid of something that grows faster than its own work.
Of course, Apple envy isn't anything new in the tech space. Microsoft has been bashing Apple's Mac OS X for years even at the same time as it was taking notes: Windows Vista was altered to match Tiger's looks, and the Windows 7 taskbar's hybrid shortcuts and status icons were borrowed from the Mac OS X Dock. Companies like Dell and HP have repeatedly claimed to be going their own ways with design, but systems like the Adamo XPS and Envy series were meant to snatch MacBook Air and MacBook Pro buyers, sometimes with uncannily similar looks. And the mobile space is littered with complaints from competitors that attempt to denigrate Apple's iPhone and iPad even as they're releasing similar products of their own.
Acer is simply joining a long list.
But it's a sizable (and important) addition to that list. After all, Acer is a major player in the industry. And when it sees Apple's tablet, which is still in its infancy, as a threat tells us everything we need to know about Acer's mindset -- and where it plans to go next with its corporate strategy.
Like so many other companies, Acer's real issue isn't that Apple is somehow out of control, it just doesn't like that Apple has unprecedented hype for its products. The company also can't stand that Apple is doing so well on so-called "viruses." Plus, there's even a hint of personal jealousy: executives at these firms hate that Steve Jobs gets the attention and respect that he does while their management, however successful, isn't daring enough to get noticed. It's a recipe for severe distaste.
There must be something about Apple. After all, what other company in the space can annoy competitors in one breath yet get them to tag along with another?

Greensburg Tuesday takes
Kristina Quigley, R.I.P.: The death of the Seton Hill University lacrosse coach, 30, and her unborn child in a bus accident Saturday while en route to a match in Millersville, Pa., is a painful reminder of just how fragile life is and how, in an instant, everything changes. In tragedy's aftermath, it's obvious that this young mother, youthful and vibrant, touched so many other lives. May she rest in peace.
The show won't go on: It's official. The Westmoreland County Airport Authority has put the kibosh on next month's air show after the Air Force canceled the remainder of its Thunderbirds' aerial performances this year because of the dastardly sequester. We suppose finding another show headliner or pressing on with events that had been scheduled — rather than pulling the plug on the heels of the Air Force announcement — was simply out of the question. Whatever happened to the can-do spirit and determination that propelled the first pilots into the wild blue yonder?
Actions have consequences: That's the sobering takeaway from two Steubenville, Ohio, high school football players being convicted (found "delinquent" in juvenile court jargon) of raping a Weirton, W.Va., teen girl in a series of drunken escapades. And other alleged actions could have even more widespread consequences: A grand jury next month will begin investigating if there was a cover-up by adults.

Having suffered repeated attacks by hackers from across the globe, the Indian government has decided to turn to people who can fight them best—hackers themselves. The Union ministries of home affairs and information, communication & technology are backing a move by the Information Security and Analysis Centre (ISAC), a not-for-profit group based in Mumbai, to launch a pool of hackers who will be trained to protect India's critical infrastructure, including the banking, power and telecom and space research sectors, from cyber attacks. The National Security Database (NSD) will be launched next week at a hacking conference in Mumbai.
Alok Vijayant, director of the information dominance group at the National Technical Research Organisation, the nation's chief technical intelligence monitoring authority, says NSD should not be "trivialised" by describing it as just as a group of hackers. "Supported by the government and the industry, NSD is a good initiative, since it will provide a readymade database of the most credible security professionals. This is more so because information security is a domain where individuals have the skills and not companies and they tend to regularly move from one firm to another."
Hacking attacks targeting India have risen dramatically, especially in the last few years, and have gone beyond just defacing websites. Most of these attacks are thought to have originated from within China and Pakistan. In 2010, researchers from the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto found out that a China-based computer spying ring had gained illegal access to Indian government computers and had ferreted out sensitive information related to defence, foreign affairs and the Dalai Lama. The same year a computer worm called Stuxnet, which infects Siemens industrial software and equipments, was reported from across India and suspected to have damaged ISRO's INSAT-4B satellite. And in July this year, a group of hackers released copies of sensitive correspondence between representatives of the Indian embassy in Moscow and a local military hardware manufacturer.
According to Dominic K., a cyber security expert and a core team member of ISAC, the database will provide an "ecosystem that encourages cyber security specifically focused on protecting India's interests. Wars in the future will not be fought with guns and bullets but with bits and bytes".
Interested hackers will be recruited into the NSD after appearing for an exam that will be held at regular intervals and will cost Rs 25,000 for every attempt. Training will be provided for free. Once selected to join NSD, they will be paid a monthly stipend. Some of the domains they can specialise in include fraud investigation, digital forensic analysis. The government will also, from time to time, specify areas where skills may be needed to be built. And given that they will be working for the government, these hackers, according to the promoters of NSD, will also be provided with a legal cover for their hacking activities.
While the government has engaged the services of hackers before, NSD is perhaps the first time it is going to depend on a readily available and structured database of hackers. Given that they will be handling sensitive information, ISAC director Rajshekhar Murthy says it is necessary to have people who are not only competent but also have a high degree of trustworthiness and integrity. "The selection process will involve examination of references, technical skills, criminal history, and even psychological assessment to generate a credit report for security clearance."
Thank you to all those who have taken the trouble to read the article and share their thoughts. Out of the arguments made here, there are two that perhaps need answering. So here they go.
1. The first part of the article compares outcomes (relative percentages of population of the religions concerned) irrespective of the process that led to those outcomes - whether immigration, relatively faster population growth or conversions. This was for two reasons. One, to put the figure of 2.3 per cent in "numerical perspective", as the article itself explained. The second reason was that outcomes are ultimately what the crux of debate is about. The rest of the article in any case dealt with process - or conversions in this case, from both a contemporary and historical perspective.
2. Some commenters have tried to cast doubts on the reliability of Census 2001. Those who do this should bear in mind that Census 2001 was conducted by a BJP government. Considering the extreme importance that BJP gives to this issue, it would be reasonable to expect that IF it had perceived a problem with the methodology that was distorting the numbers, it would have fixed it. As the article mentioned, BJP or BJP-supported governments have been in power for 10 of the last 40 years, or about a quarter of the time, and the only reasonable conclusion one can arrive at is that any misreporting of numbers, real or perceived, would be marginal and hence, not of importance.
To all other arguments made, my answer is the following: Please read the article again, with particular focus on the quotations of Vivekananda and Monier Williams, and the history of the missionary efforts in Bengal and their outcome.
boss, any quota for reservation for OBC, BC and minorities in NSD?
The best way of recruiting sarkari hackers is to invite them to attack a server. All who succeed in hacking it should be offered a job. As simple as that.
Are our bureaucrats, Mr. Rajshekhar Murthy included, able to think out of the box and convince their political masters that the conventional methods of recruitment for Government jobs are antiquated and not suitable in the post-IT revolution era?
@Rajashekhar Murthy,
What kind of a place is Murthy, India? Can you give me the Google map location for it?
What kind of a director are you, who writes a comment post in response to an Outlook article, and expect your credentials to be deemed authentic? Do you know how to set up a fake reader identity on Outlook magazine?
By the way,, my place is here. And my parents are Onions too, bwahaha.
Loved that Prashath!
Rajshekhar Murthy, I am convinced that you indeed are a Sanghi (that is a special designation in Indian secular sphere. Love it or hate it, but you are a Sanghi).
You upper-cast Brahmin boy (oops I don't know if you are, but I don't care, You Are), hell bend to destroy the untouchable constitution written by one and only Dr Ambedkar.
How dare you!
Dear Dr Murthy,
Just went to check MalCon website, Here is an excerpt of the speakers:

Experts say a new study confirms aspartame is safe in food and beverages – but how is the newest research different from previous studies?
Whole or fat free. Lactose-free. Almond, soy or rice. There are many reasons why someone would choose one type of milk over another. Blogger Kristin Hong, www.thefreshfind.com asked, what is the difference between dairy milk, soy milk, almond milk, hemp milk and rice milk?
To answer the question, we reached out to Dr. Dennis Savaiano, Interim Dean of the Honors College and Professor of Nutrition Science, Purdue University.
The holiday season is in full swing and if you're lucky, you may find a champagne toast accompanying the festivities. Happily, that bubbly could also be a beneficial toast to your health.

Recently, Best Food Facts received a reader question asking, "What is the best way to count calories?" To answer this question, we reached out to Dariush Mozaffarian, MD DrPH, Co-Director, Program in Cardiovascular Epidemiology, Associate Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Department of Epidemiology, Harvard School of Public Health.
Lately, we've been adding a little extra spice to our lives with regular visits to Sommer Collier's award-winning blog: A Spicy Perspective.
Juicing is a popular approach to getting your diet back on track, and it's certainly a great way to get more fruits and vegetables into the diets of picky eaters! But is it actually healthy? While no one can dispute that adding fruits and veggies to your meals is a win, registered dietitian, Judy Barbe explores the benefits and the watch-outs of this interesting and delicious trend.
Recently, Best Food Facts received a question regarding whether celebrities are using garcinia cambogia to lose weight. We called Stephen Heymsfield, MD, the George A. Bray, Jr. Endowed Super Chair in Nutrition Professor, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Louisiana State University System, to find out.
With the rise of low- and no-carb diets, the word "carb" has taken on a negative connotation. Just as there is no one-size-fits-all diet there is also no one perfect food. A balanced diet includes a wide variety of foods consumed in moderation. But carbohydrates shouldn't be considered to be "empty" calories. Carbohydrates can be rich sources of fiber such as those found in vegetables, whole grains, fruits and beans, all of which play a role in decreasing the risk of chronic disease.
Recently, Best Food Facts received a reader question about the Paleo diet - what is it, and is it safe? We asked Carolyn O'Neil, MS, RD, about the diet and if it is safe for otherwise healthy adults.
In the old cowboy Westerns, you could always tell the good guy from the bad guy by his white button-down shirt. Recently, a similar guideline has been applied to many of the foods that we once enjoyed. This time though, the new "bad guy" in town, an alleged less-nutritious option, now wears white: white bread, white pasta and white sugar. In reality, it takes more than a glance at a food's color to determine whether something is inherently healthier.
What color are your favorite fruits and vegetables? Take our latest poll?
Recently, Best Food Facts received a reader question asking, "Is tilapia safe to eat? I've heard that it's often farm raised in countries where there are no guidelines, and they are essentially raised in waste and pumped full of antibiotics."
To answer this question and learn more about tilapia, we reached out to Kevin Fitzsimmons, PhD, Professor, Extension Specialist & Research Scientist at the University of Arizona
Exercise is good for everyone! How much exercise should we be doing? What about nutrition before, during and after exercise?
Unless your shopping trip to the grocery store is limited to the far perimeter aisles, there is a good chance your diet contains some form of processed food. So are processed foods bad for you?
The additive Splenda (sucralose) was recently downgraded for its safety from "safe" to "caution" – meaning it "may pose a risk and needs to be better tested." Should you avoid foods and beverages with this ingredient?
