I think Mr. Benjamin Franklin was a great leader of our country and I am glad people care enough to write books about him. So many people are ignorant or don't care about the history of the United States, it makes me glad that some do care.

Thanks for this website. The knowledge that the problem solving techniques of "pros and cons" and "costs and benefits" were pioneered by Benjamin Franklin has inspired me to persist in my pioneering efforts with Integrative Problem SolvingTM and related techniques. Best wishes, Graham

Georgette Wright, 18 [02-25-2006]
He said it himself: "Do not squander time, for thqt is the stuff life is made of." I don't think he missed out on anything and your haven't really been to philly until you've dropped a penny on his grave.

Ben Franklin was a great American
Charles Bronson, California [01-30-2006]
I think Ben is swell guy but many don't know that he was a huge loyalist until right before the revolution. He would frequently visit Europe and England. I just thought the public should kow this thought, but I guess since he's old you can't blame him, nonetheless he's quite the ladies man, and always has a woman on his side whenever I see him.

I am hoping "Temple's Diary" will be made available other than just this website. Is there any plan to have it published or made in printed form? It is so historic in content without being dreary as so much history is. I recently read "1776" and just bought the Doris Goodwin "Team of Rivals." Temple's Diary is such a breath of fresh air as it personalizes the 300th birthday of this precious man.

Many towns and cities across the nation are celebrating Benjamin Franklins 300th Birthday. The Town of Franklin, Massachusetts just received a new town seal in honor of the historic milestone. The seal features an oil portrait of Franklin by classical artist Scott Holloway. It is one of the most lifelike and realistic images of the founding father that I have ever seen. You can see it for yourself at www.civilwarjax.com/benfranklin.html
Angela, Happy Birthday Ben Franklin! [01-30-2006]

What great man to to have founded our declaration of indepedence and other great accomplishments.He is clearly true american,founding father of this great country that was based on christian values. Let us not forget the roots of our freedom,which liberals are trying to destroy by trying do away with the mention of god,jesus christ,and virtues are founding fathers have taught us for the direction and path for good character,integrety,of faithful people. god bless us..

Franklin has always fascinated me. His autobiography so inspired me as a young boy that I tried (unsuccessfully) to think of a Franklin-like quote each week. My inability to match his wit and wisdom is but one reason why this website honors Mr. Franklin rather than myself.

It's me again. I'm STILL working on that paper for History class and Benjamin Franklin is starting to sound more like a woman-getter rather then an inventor. I mean, who would want to marry a fat, short, old guy anyway? Only in it for the money... Yet I will still continue to use this as a big reference. Thanks!

PERSON OF INTEREST is a crime thriller about an ex-CIA agent and a mysterious billionaire who prevent violent crimes by utilizing an all-seeing machine that can predict the events before they happen. Although John Reese and Harold Finch have successfully prevented numerous crimes thanks to The Machine's omniscience, the team was unable to stop the malevolent artificial intelligence known as Samaritan from coming online. Brought to life by Greer, head of the private technology corporation Decima, Samaritan has the full power of the U.S. government behind it and is using those resources to hunt Finch, Reese and the hacker, known as Root. The trio, along with Det. Lionel Fusco, suffered a major loss when Samaritan's operatives wounded and captured Sameen Shaw, their comrade-in-arms. Upon gaining full autonomy, Samaritan set its sights on destroying The Machine, which now exists only as a few lines of source code in a briefcase held by the team. On the run and without access to The Machine's intel, the team must find a way to continue saving lives as they attempt to reboot The Machine and fight back against impossible odds.

Thursday night, reports came in that two of the Texas Longhorn's starting offensive lineman would be suspended and unavailable for Saturday's game against BYU, a situation that decimates an already thin offensive unit that will be without starting quarterback David Ash and first-string center Dominic Espinosa.
It appears the Longhorns are still a work in progress, not only as a football team on the field but in regard to new head coach Charlie Strong making his point about team discipline and sticking to his core values.
As the fall semester approached something strange was happening on the 40 acres: football players, including likely first-stringers, were getting kicked off the team for breaking the rules.
There are all kinds of theories as to why a beloved person, if not a beloved coach of late, was unable to turn the Longhorns around in his latter years. Many have said Mack Brown was too easy on the kids. Others pointed to the whole culture of Texas football. One thing has always been certain: there is no reason the Texas Longhorns, with the biggest budget and usually the easiest recruiting job in the nation (until posting a losing record of late), shouldn't be competing for a national championship nearly every season.
And for a time, certainly after nearly winning two of them, the talent level continued to be formidable. As Andy Staples noted in Sports Illustrated:
"From 2009-12, when the bulk of the players contributing now were signed, Rivals.com ranked all of Texas' classes among the top five nationally. Recruiting rankings are specifically unpredictable, but generally they are decent indicators of future success. Did Texas coaches choose less brilliant athletes than before, or have they lost their ability to develop them?
[The] offense had become so reliant on a special quarterback -- either [Colt] McCoy or Vince Young -- that it had forgotten how to do the basics. Texas had the great fortune of back-to-back dynamo quarterbacks. Young and McCoy could take over games. Defenses had to devote so much energy to stopping them that everyone else had it easy. Any recruiting or developmental deficiencies were masked by this advantage. As soon as the elite quarterbacks went away, the flaws became apparent."
Staples is hardly the only writer who has pointed out that despite top-tier recruiting classes nearly every year, it hasn't translated to success on the field.
And while many focus on the offense, Texas formerly elite defense hit the skids as well. Many believe this to be the result of Will Muschamp's departure and while that may be factor, there's no reason Texas shouldn't have been able to find a suitable replacement and avoid a dramatic decline. The year after Muschamp left, Texas still managed to rank an admirable 11th in the nation in total defense yet with 7 starters back the following year they sank to a dismal 68th in the 2012 rankings.
During the same period, other Texas sports have maintained elite status. The baseball and volleyball programs compete for national titles nearly every year and there are numerous others, including swimming and tennis that continually shine. Rick Barnes' basketball team is a perennial NCAA tournament participant and although the team dipped in 2012-2013, the returned to form 2014. Regardless, football always has been the priority at Texas, has the most moving parts and is also the most dependent on coaching and structure.
There was never much question about what kind of man Mack Brown is but the results on the field are ultimately the bottom line.
The rumors circulating for some time have hinted that Brown wasn't tough enough on the kids. Ironically, what often makes the best coaches is the ability to get players to take personal responsibility for their actions. As a motivator and insofar as holding kids accountable, one has to assume that Mack Brown had lost his edge, if he ever had one to begin with.
But in turning around Louisville's program, Charlie Strong made it clear who should take responsibility for the decline before he arrived. Rather than go with the community and the media's take, one of his first statements to the players was "You guys had a great coaching staff here. You had good coaches who cared about you who knew what they were doing and put you in position to succeed. And you didn't do it. All the blame is on you guys."
Strong was adamant that blaming the coaches for the 4-8 record in the 2009 season, a poor team GPA and what he perceived as general lack of respect for authority wasn't acceptable and wouldn't be tolerated. He went on to say "All the change that happens here is going to be on you guys, too.
And the results over 4 years seem the results of a pattern that became absent at Texas: a guy who draws very distinct boundaries, being your best friend off the field but a disciplinarian on it. His photo of the 5 Core Values of Louisville Football went viral on the internet and were an important stand against problems in our culture and that young men, particularly elite athletes, need to be mentored. Ironically, Strong's statements ring both true and false: yes, the level of play on the field is in the hands of the players themselves but it is ultimately the actions of the coach that convince them to make that realization.
The Stronghorns are off to a winning start with a solid victory over North Texas but will face a much tougher test against BYU on Saturday, a rematch of the game last year that ultimately led to big changes at Texas.
With a weakened offense playing against what has so far been a stingy BYU defense, we don't have to put too much into the final outcome of the game but it is indeed a defining moment and a great opportunity to see if Strong's get-tough policies have already had any impact on building character this early in his tenure. The rest, as most fans well understand, will likely just have to wait.
Update: On Friday, September 5 it was also reported that redshirt freshman linebacker Deoundrei Davis will no longer be a member of the team. If initial reports of dismissal are correct, he will be the 8th player kicked off the team since Charlie Strong's arrival.

We spoke with eight different students about five different projects. They were on sliding cups, parallel springs, slingshot trajectories, hockey slap shots, and rotating chains. It was so great to hear them talk not only about their content and what they learned, but also about how a project helps them think about physics and science in general.
This week (12/11 at 9:30pm ET) we'll be talking with Bethany Wilcox about an upper-division math framework she's been helping develop for physics major courses. Please join us!

Despite Irish forward Robbie Keane's two goals, the LA Galaxy were taken out of the CONCACAF Champions League (CCL) on Tuesday night by the Tijuana Xolos.
As reported on Tuesday night, the Galaxy played in Tijuana for the second leg of the CCL quarterfinals. The game ended in a 4-2 victory for the home team, Xolos, which gave them the aggregate lead of 4-3.
The first leg was played in Los Angeles a week before and that victory went to the Galaxy, as the Angelenos won with only a goal by Brazilian striker Samuel. For the second leg in Mexico, Samuel was shut down.
The Tijuana club team took the lead in the first nine minutes of the game with two goals by Ecuadorian striker Jaimen Ayovi.
Things looked very bad for the LA Galaxy, as the Angelenos headed into the break by being down 3-0 in Tijuana. Robbie Keane gave life to the Angeleno team when he scored from an Omar Gonzalez cross in the 47th minute.
However, Tijuana managed one more goal in the 82nd minute. Still, the Galaxy fought by adding another goal by Keane in the 85th minute.
In the end, Robbie Keane's goals were not enough. The game ended and the Xolos from Tijuana won with an aggregate score of 4-2.
The LA Galaxy are now out of the CONCACAF Champions League. Now, the Galaxy will concentrate on winning round 2 of the MLS season this coming weekend since losing the season opener two weekends ago.

"It becomes more fun being able to push guys off the puck. When you're stronger it's easier to do that. I realize I'm able to do that this year and that's … I do have fun with it. I do have fun battling with guys in corners. I like doing it." -- Dougie Hamilton
"It's fun going against him in practice," Freddie told NHL.com. "I give him a shove when I get the chance because I know I might not get the chance in the future if he keeps on growing. I'll take as much opportunity as I can doing that."
Now that Dougie Hamilton has grown into a 6-foot-4, 187-pound top defense prospect for the 2011 Entry Draft, those opportunities might have run out.
Hamilton is the top-rated North American defenseman (No. 4 among all skaters) in NHL Central Scouting's final rankings for the 2011 Entry Draft.

Drugs, Behavior, and Modern Society, 8th Edition, Charles F. Levinthal
Provides students with a deeper understanding of what impacts drug use.
The eighth edition of Drugs, Behavior, and Modern Society examines the impact of drug-taking behavior on our society and our daily lives. The use and abuse of a wide range of licit and illicit drugs are discussed from historical, biological, psychological, and sociological perspectives.
In today's world, drugs and their use present a social paradox, combining the potential for good and for bad. As a society and as individuals, we can be the beneficiaries of drugs or their victims. This text features a comprehensive review of psychoactive drugs, and is notable for the attention it gives to two aspects of drug-taking behavior that have been underreported in other texts: steroid abuse and inhalant abuse.
This text is available in a variety of formats – digital and print. Pearson offers its titles on the devices students love through Pearson's MyLab products, CourseSmart, Amazon, and more.
Learning Goals
Upon completing this book, readers will be able to:
- Understand the impact of drug use on behavior and society.
- Examine the pros and cons to drug use.

Endocycles are variant cell cycles comprised of DNA synthesis (S)- and gap (G)-phases but lacking mitosis1,2. Such cycles facilitate post-mitotic growth in many invertebrate and plant cells, and are so ubiquitous that they may account for up to half the world's biomass3,4. DNA replication in endocycling Drosophila cells is triggered by cyclin E/cyclin dependent kinase 2 (CYCE/CDK2), but this kinase must be inactivated during each G-phase to allow the assembly of pre-Replication Complexes (preRCs) for the next S-phase5,6. How CYCE/CDK2 is periodically silenced to allow re- replication has not been established. Here, using genetic tests in parallel with computational modelling, we show that the endocycles of Drosophila are driven by a molecular oscillator in which the E2F1 transcription factor promotes CycE expression and S-phase initiation, S-phase then activates the CRL4CDT2 ubiquitin ligase, and this in turn mediates the destruction of E2F1 (ref. 7). We pro- pose that it is the transient loss of E2F1 during S phases that creates the window of low Cdk activity required for preRC formation. In support of this model overexpressed E2F1 accelerated endocycling, whereas a stabilized variant of E2F1 blocked endocycling by de- regulating target genes, including CycE, as well as Cdk1 and mitotic cyclins. Moreover, we find that altering cell growth by changing nutrition or target of rapamycin (TOR) signalling impacts E2F1 translation, thereby making endocycle progression growth- dependent. Many of the regulatory interactions essential to this novel cell cycle oscillator are conserved in animals and plants1,2,8, indicating that elements of this mechanism act in most growth- dependent cell cycles.

Two New York men are accused in a bizarre terror plot involving a mobile x-ray.
Glendon Crawford and Eric Feight were arrested Tuesday after an undercover operation by the Albany FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Law enforcement sources say the two planned to use a homemade x-ray machine to attack high-ranking government officials and other targets with radiation.
Beginning in April 2012, authorities received information that Crawford was searching for people at local Jewish organizations to help him build a device capable of killing human targets silently from a distance.
John Duncan, Executive Assistant US Attorney, said, "it would be capable of inflicting death on humans if used in the fashion for which it was designed. As I said, it was designed to be mobile, it was designed to have a remote power source and as the defendants have alleged, the particular mechanism to turn it on remotely and turn it off remotely so they would not be in the area when this device would be turned on directed at targets."
The two were charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists.
If convicted, each faces up to 15 years in prison, and $250,000 fine and five years of supervised release.

Every skater has one thing they struggle with more than anything else on the track.
"Gap Up" Easier said than done of course. You leave a big gap because they don't want to get beat. Totally understood.
But in my mind, to be effective in roller derby, you've got to pressure the other
team at every possible opportunity. Being able to close the gap isn't just something
that happens in your own zone. It starts at the the opponent's line and works it's
way back to your own defensive zone.
That means that your Blockers have to hold the opposing team's line as long as possible, force turnovers in the neutral zone and make it very difficult for your opponents to gain and score in the attacking zone.
To become effective at these skills requires lots of repetition in practice...and there will be many mistakes made.
It is unreasonable to expect players to be able to execute these skills at high speeds and under pressure in a game if we haven't given them ample time to perfect them in practice. Confidence is king in roller derby, and we must get skaters comfortable with these challenging skills in practice if we want them to perform them effectively in games.

Summer is the best time to kick off your shoes, run barefoot through the grass, eat fresh food from farmer's markets and just get back to basics. So it only makes sense that for this month's picks we feature a few products that are just that: a little more basic, yet indulgent enough that you'll want to keep a good stock of them all year long.
From left
Bubble and Bee Pit Putty: I know what you're thinking, "An organic deodorant? Really? Does it work?" The answer is yes. The secret ingredient is all-natural arrowroot powder that absorbs sweat, and the rest of the vegan, gluten-free and synthetic chemical-free ingredients kind of smell good enough to eat. But don't. (Also available at Whole Foods)
Butter London polish in 'Colour Clash Wellies,' Got Beauty: Green is the color to beat this year, and when you've got it in an opaque, flashy, grass like shade, there is no competition - especially in summer.
Lollia Handcreme, Tabula Rasa: This monthly list would be lost without a product that plays double duty, and that's exactly what this one does. Not only does it leave your skin feeling silky soft without a greasy residue, but it even looks fabulous as a pretty little nightstand accessory. Much better than those giant plastic pump bottles, I'd say.
Blissful Bean Turtle Scrub, Natural Joy Beauty: This is a Salt Lake magazine Best of the Beehive 2012 winner that I'll sing praises to forever. It's especially handy this time of year when you're applying and reapplying sunless tanners and exfoliating is a must. Not only does it do it's exfoliating job like a dream, the coconut oli leaves your skin so smooth and soft you can even make a few touch ups with your razor, sans shaving cream.
Arcona Kiwi Cream Bar facial cleanser, Nordstrom: If you want to kick off an at-home facial, start here. The clean and light scent of this cleanser isn't overwhelmingly fruity, but it's natural smelling enough to know that you're doing good things for your skin. It's perfect for dry skin as it replenishes hydration and minimizes pores.

|Swimmers, divers ready
The University of Idaho Women's Swim and Dive team is racing for a championship this week at the Western Athletic Conference Championship meet at San Antonio, Texas. The event starts Wednesday and continues through Saturday.
The Vandals are 5-2 on the season and Coach Mark Sowa believes his team has enough depth to bring home the trophy.
"Take it one swim at a time and not get too far ahead of ourselves," Sowa said. "We're going to have some really good swims and we might have not so good swims. The team that can take it one swim at a time and keep it within themselves and focus on the task at hand is the one who usually wins."
The Vandals have been preparing for more than a month for this meet and Sowa says that the rest will help them during the emotional four-day meet.
"Traveling from Moscow takes its toll on them physically, I think, so it's nice to get healthy and work on stuff," Sowa said. "We are not stale at all. I think in a lot of ways we're ready to race."
During last year's WAC Championship meet, the Vandals took home four event victories. Then sophomore swimmer Rachel Millet won the 200 IM and the 200 free. Sophomore Jamie Sterbis won the 200 fly as a freshman and then junior Paige Hunt won the 3-meter dive and was WAC Diver of the Year.
"When we focus on what is exactly ahead of us and what our next event is then we will be really good," senior swimmer and team captain Megan Venlos said. "We have shown it in meets where we have done that. If we do that then the Vandals are unstoppable."
Two of the top Vandal swimmers this season are Millet and Erica Anderson, also a junior. Millet has the top time in the WAC for the 50 free (23.13), 100 free (50.30), 200 free (1:48.11) and 200 IM (2:00.36). She also has the third-best time in the 200 back (2:00.19). Anderson has the top time in the WAC in the 100 breast (1:02.65), the second-best time in the 200 breast, and the fourth-best time in the 50 free (23.60).
"The beauty about swimming and diving is that we can control our own destiny in a lot of ways," Sowa said. "We can't control what other teams do. It's not like we can block better, set a screen, or anything along those lines. What we do, either on the board or in the lane, is up to us and we can't control what any other team does."

Australia v Argentina preview
This time last year, Australia's rugby team was flying high on their way to winning their third Tri Nations crown.PT0M0S 620 349
Full-time: A penalty brings the game to a close. A close scrape for the Wallabies after trailing by 13. What odds beating the Pumas in Mendoza? Neither the All Blacks or Wallabies can take that for granted.
79th minute: Beale successful. Australia 23 Argentina 19. Argentina have the scrum and a minute to pull off a famous victory...
78th minute: Pumas penalised for collapsing the maul. Cooper lines up the pen. No, it's Beale. He's done nothing so this is his chance.
76th minute: Lo and behold. Wallabies win the scrum penalty. Graham Henry in the Pumas' box will not be happy with Mr Barnes. Memories.
75th minute: Polota Nau throws a wonky ball into the lineout and gives away possession; in turn another penalty allows the Pumas to move to the Wallabies' 22. Agustin Creevy to throw in and the Pumas may look to set up for the drop goal. Another crooked throw. That means a scrum. A cunning ploy? Gill on and Dennis off. Two fetchers in the new scrum.
73rd minute: Pumas bunched and getting in each other's way but it won't matter with Hernandez getting set for the drop goal. Penalty Australia. Driving defence and fatigue playing their part. Roncero comes off looking weary beyond his already advancing years.
72nd minute: Penalties running 9-7 in Wallabies favour, and they concede one more. Pumas have lineout 15m out.
68th minute: Barnes finds touch this time. Bang. McCabe up the guts. Advantage to Australia and Phipps does beautifully on a blindside run that beats his man and then puts Iaone in the clear. Step, step and over! Try Wallabies. The Pumas' resistance is weakening. Barnes converts. Australia 20 Argentina 19
66th minute: Argentina concede a free kick from a lineout in the Wallabies' half. The kick is caught on the line by the Pumas winger and the distance is instantly wasted. Another unnecessary error from the Wallabies.
60th minute: Australia camped on the Pumas' line and the direct running of McCabe makes the breakthrough. Forget jinks and fancy lines, McCabe makes it look simple. Try! Cooper with the assist. He'll take that. Barnes converts. Australia 13 Argentina 19
58th minute: Argentina breaking the line at will now! Nathan Sharpe down after falling awkwardly, his head and neck compressed in the tackle.
56th minute: Penalty Pumas. Another break, through the middle this time, and a grubber is fielded by Beale in the in-goal before Wayne Barnes calls it back. Hernandez kicks the penalty from in front. Argentina 19 Australia 6 Oh Dear.
He put his foot on the line, Imhoff, but it seems the TMO could not come that far back to rule on the try. They're lifting now, even further, the Pumas and that could offset fatigue at the back end of this game.
52nd minute: Try Argentina! Imhoff rounds Phipps and sprints down the sideline. Cabello over. Argentina 16 Australia 6
50th minute: Try Pumas! A Quade Cooper kick is charged down by Tomas Leonardi and the ball looms up perfectly for replacement follow through. Argentina 11 Australia 6
47th minute: Phipps switches play, Hooper gallops down the flank and it comes back to the centre with Cooper, who skips and jinks to no avail. Wayne Barnes pings them for offside and that's a concession the Pumas are willing to make. Another injury to the Pumas earns them some more breathing space while Barnes converts the penalty. Australia 6 Argentina 6
44th minute. Wallabies driven back in the tackle, then Cooper's pass goes to ground and the Pumas kick through. They're on the Australian line but lose possession. Cooper was looking for runners, hoping to find the perfect angle, but no one was obliging. On that ocassion it was his teammates that made Quade look ordinary.
Second half: That was the third time straight that the Pumas have helf the opposition try-less in the first 40. Will the many thousands of miles they've logged recently have a toll in this half? Barnes sorting out the distance between the teams in an Australian lineout, and then Phipps slices his box kick. The Pumas return the favour with an accidental offside off the next lineout.
Half-time: Make that 65 % of possession. Somewhat indicative is the Wallabies' last play of the half, which looked promising and then broke down dramatically following a big Argentinian hit. The Pumas successfully denying Australia rhythm and continuity. They give you a chance - flatter with the amount of space they have granted the Wallabies - but then close down the opportunities with desperate defence.
39th minute: Wallabies toss the ball around without making any significant ground and eventually the Pumas drive through. Australia have little to show for their enterprise this half. Beale on earlier for an injured Shipperley.
Looked certain to score there but some desperate defence held Sharpe out. They love a scrap, these Pumas, and there's a chorus of cheers and backslaps as the tight five in blue and white turn the ball over while under pressure on their own line.
35th minute: Sharpe forces the error from the Pumas in a five-man lineout. Cooper holds up the ball beautifully for an onrishing Sharpe, drawing three players, and the big second-rower is rolled onto his back by Agulla over the try line. TMO rules no try. Australia 3 Argentina 6
31st minute: Having a few scrum resets here, Barnes earning his coin. Slipper throws a poor pass but Cooper cleans up, and feeds it wide to Ashley-Cooper, who is taken by surprise by a Marcelo Bosch tackle and the movement breaks down.
27th minute: Prop Rodrigo Roncero turns the ball over in the ruck and Argentina kick through. Cooper is far too casual back in the last line of defence and knocks on. If he's affecting insouciance, he's failing. Penalty Argentina. Hernandez converts. Australia 3 Argentina 6
Lineout in the Pumas' 22. The Wallabies rumble it up and Cooper tries a double cut-out pass that Horacio Agulla knocks down. He knew he had the advantage and we come back for the penalty. Barnes's kick looks skewed but it sneaks over. Australia 3 Argentina 3.
22nd minute: Samo over in the corner! Lovely break from Ioane given too much space, Ashley-Cooper steps past a few defenders, the ball is shifted right quickly and Samo... drops it over the line. The video official rules no try. Let off for the Pumas.
18th minute: Cooper has a look at the pass, after a bustling run from Samo, and it hits his noggin and bounces forward. Not his night so far. Samo strips Hernandez of the ball after he appeared through, and Cooper puts a grubber behind the line to earn a lineout after it came off the Pumas.
16th minute: Phipps looking positive and efficient behind the forwards. Ioane taken in a nice tackle by Horacio Agulla but earns a penalty in the process. Barnes hits the uprights.
11th minute: Barnes fields the ball from a kick and makes decent ground, Samo across the advantage line and the Wallabies spread it wide. Looking more positive this week. Strip! Gonzalo Camacho simply takes advantage of a loose carry and is away down field. Martin Hernandez fails to punish a subsequent Wallabies infringement as they seek to slow down the ball. Misses the penalty. Australia 0 Argentina 3
6th minute: This sounds worse than it is: Cooper throws a forward pass just on his 22. He was chancing his arm, though. Impressive Wallabies defence turns the ball over and Ioane and Ashley-Cooper put in a joint tackle to earn a penalty upfield. Barnes misses.
4th minute: Cooper's pass intercepted and then he spills the ball off a kick, backwards, before claiming some ground. The Pumas are certainly primed for this. They have a scrum on halfway.
Australia 0 Argentina 3: Juan Martin Hernandez kicks off, Phipps with the box kick and the Pumas knock on. First scrum... The Wallabies try to get an early hit and go too soon. Barnes plays advantange after new skipper Nathan Sharpe is caught offside. This is right in front. Hernandez converts.
Teams lined up for the anthems. The Pumas fans are dancing in the stands and Polota Nau's hair is casting a huge silhouette. Phipps looks nervous...
Preamble: The awesome, snarling beast that is the Pumas pack will be hunting Nick Phipps at Skilled Park tonight, and for a man who has played just 26 minutes of Test football since the Wallabies lost to Samoa last year the challenge is to keep his composure. Leicester-based prop Marcos Ayerza regards injured halfback and skipper Will Genia as Australia's talisman and his absence is Argentina's opportunity. The Australian pack has a duty of care to protect his replacement.
The Pumas managed to shackle the All Blacks for 60 minutes in Wellington last week, before their intensity dropped off in a 21-5 loss. Chief among their tactics was to slow the ball down from the ruck and disrupt New Zealand's rhythm with passionate, hard-shouldered defence. The Wallabies can expect more of the same, plus an aerial assault from five-eighth Juan Martin Hernandez.
Coach Robbie Deans has recalled the straight-running Pat McCabe at inside-centre, while Berrick Barnes has shunted Kurtley Beale to the bench and will be on bomb defusal duty at fullback. Kane Douglas replaces the injured Sitaleki Timani in the second row. Argentina coach Santiago Phelan has brought in Martin Landajo at halfback and Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino at fullback.

Last night fashion gurus and celeb-watchers turned their attention to the red carpet lining the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York as they held their annual Met Gala. Inspired this year by designer, Charles James, the dress code was white tie and formal hair and makeup looks were necessary to complement the fashion.
Cue the hair experts of L'Oréal Professionnel, working with their first-ever Ambassadress, Kirsten Dunst. Hairstylist, Cervando Maldonado created a 30's inspired galactic ballerina bun. Drawing inspiration everywhere from Marlene Dietrich and Helmut Newton, to the timeless elegance of Charles James: Beyond Fashion the look was a perfect fusion of classic and contemporary style and offset her 'death star' inspired gown by Rodarte perfectly.
To get the look, Maldonado starts by "Preping damp hair with L'Oréal Professionnel Mousse Volupté. Then rake through with fingers and spray L'Oréal Professionnel Volumetry Root Spray to add volume at the roots."
Then, "Create soft finger waves at the crown by sweeping a 3-inch section towards the right side and adding bobby pins to set waves throughout the section. While the style sets, blow-dry rest of hair, starting at the bottom and working in sections using a medium size round brush. Brush dry hair back into a ponytail and secure just above the occipital bone then twist hair into a tight ballerina bun, securing with bobby pins and hair pins."
"Once front section is dry and set, remove bobby pins, brush through and loosely secure the wave into the bun," Maldonado says. "Spray hair with L'Oréal Professionnel Volumetry Powder Fresh SOS Refreshing Spray to rid any excess oil, finish with a light mist of L'Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil Reinforcing Milk for camera-ready shine. Finish the look with added elegance, by placing a jeweled hair piece at the top of the ballerina bun."
Classic red carpet style – with a twist.
