'The New Academic': great blog for PGRs and ECRs
Nadine Muller has launched an excellent new blog for postgraduate researchers (PGRs) and early career researchers (ECRs). In her own words…
In November 2012 I launched The New Academic, a continuing series of blog posts on all things academic, aimed at postgraduate and early-career researchers. Rather than lengthy personal accounts, The New Academic aims to provide short tips and guidance – however subjective – on key academic activities.
I now write to you with two requests (besides hoping you will visit the blog and comment, or even recommend it to others):
- If you are a researcher and would like to propose a guest post on a topic of your choice, please get in touch with me. Posts may be personal accounts of your experiences in academia generally, or may address specific issues you've encountered.
- Considering recent announcements of funding cuts, the next season of The New Academic (starting May 2013) will be dedicated exclusively to the experiences of part-time and/or self-funded postgraduate students, who can, unfortunately, often find themselves overlooked within departments (though of course this isn't always the case) and within the academic landscape. If you were or are a part-time and/or self-funded postgraduate and would like to contribute a post about your experiences, please do get in touch. I already have a list of 30+ people on my potential author list for this series of posts, and the more voices are heard, the better.
Please feel to get in touch with me via email@example.com or email@example.com, and feel free to pass this message on to anyone you think may be interested. Any comments and suggestions are gratefully received, as are suggestions for guest posts.
I hope you'll find the blog a valuable resource – as you will see, it lays no claim to being a universal database of knowledge, but to simply provide useful "beginners'" information and overviews which I hope will be of help to other postgraduate researchers and early-career academics.
All the best and thanks for reading,

New Wiki and blog hosting for education and social work researchers: eswphd
An update from Denise Turner (Doctoral Researcher, Social Work) on a new Wiki for researchers. Focussed mainly (but not only!) on the fields of social work and education, the site provides access to archived twitter chats from the #eswphd hashtag, and hosts blogs from doctoral researchers and faculty.
eswphd.org.uk is shaping up to be a friendly and productive researcher community – do join in.
You may already be are aware of our weekly 'Twitter chats' using the hashtag #eswphd, and we now have a dedicated Webpage/Wiki which carries an archive of these weekly chats (in a nice orderly list – with headings! ) and includes the recent Sussex Library collaboration.
It also has space to host individual student/faculty & group blogs…. Michelle Lefevre from Social Work has already signed up & we also have a blog page for our monthly ESW Writing Group.
This facility was made possible by a collaboration of people who 'met' on Twitter & who have given their skill & time in building this for no financial reward – it is hosted by Jon Bolton's company 'Focus on Learning' and maintained by Sussex doctoral researcher Liz Thackray. Its a stunning example of group work and the efficacy of community building in social media.
Please do visit the site and see what it has to offer & encourage people to use it – you dont have to be in education or social work.

Easier, faster interlibrary requests for articles and e-books
Do you know that feeling of urgent doom when you come across just the exact article you need, but realise you have to submit an interlibrary request to get it…? And you just can't get to campus right now to sign a copyright declaration? Yeah, that.
Well the Library have been listening. Access to place a request for an interlibrary loan or article online has been available for some time, but in the past we've had to make a trip to the Library in person to sign the copyright declaration before the request could be placed. No longer! The copyright declaration has now been integrated into the online request form, so you can do it all from the comfort of your home, a cafe in town, your fieldwork or archive location… anywhere with internet access. And you can have your article delivered right to your inbox.
Helen Webb (Research Support, Library) says:
It's now even easier to request an Interlibrary Loan for an item you need if the Library doesn't have it.
95% of journal articles can now be delivered direct to your desktop and we've saved you a trip to the Library by making the Copyright agreement a part of the online request form – no need to print and bring a separate form before you get your article.
We're also experimenting with offering immediate access to ebooks (where possible) when you request to borrow a book that we don't have – making our already quick service even speedier. For more information see the Interlibrary Loans page (http://www.sussex.ac.uk/library/info/ilr)
To order your e-article or interlibrary item:
- go to www.sussex.ac.uk/library/info/ilr
- select the relevant link from the right hand side of the page
- login with your ITS username and password
- complete the details of the article/item you are requesting
- select the delivery method – "send to my email account" is the quickest
- read the copyright declaration. If you agree, tick the box
- Click the 'Submit' button.
- Done!

ERM Fast Facts
Enterprise risk management
Enterprise risk management (ERM) is the process of coordinated risk management that places a greater emphasis on cooperation among departments to manage the organization's full range of risks as a whole. ERM offers a framework for effectively managing uncertainty, responding to risk, and harnessing opportunities as they arise.
Importance of ERM
There are several checkpoints that drive the need for enterprise risk management, which include:
- Greater transparency
- Greater transparency
- Financial disclosures with more strict reporting and control requirements
- Security and technology issues
- Business continuity and disaster preparedness amid volatility around the globe
- Focus of rating agencies
- Regulatory compliance
- Globalization in a continuously competitive environment
Benefits of ERM framework
No matter how well planned and executed, risk management procedures cannot always guarantee results. Nevertheless, using the enterprise risk management framework can increase an organization's and its shareholders' confidence that they will achieve their objectives. ERM offers a number of benefits
- Aligns risk appetite and corporate strategy
- Links growth, risk and returns
- Improves risk responses
- Reduces operational surprises and losses
- Recognizes and acts upon opportunities
- Deploys resources effectively
Strong Professional Network
The SOA is an educational, research and professional organization dedicated to serving the public and its 25,000+ members.

|st: bootstrapping and sample selection
|Wed, 20 Aug 2003 12:19:03 +0100
hi there, suppose one would like to bootstrap a standard heckman two step regression in order to recover the adjusted standard errors (I know the program provides the corrected s.e. but I need it for a double sample selection case). One approach (the obvious) is to draw from the entire sample N (including both participants and non- participants let say). yet, some of the draws will contain very unequal proportions of the two groups, e.g. only participants or non- participants. in these cases the results for mills ratio, correlation coefficient (rho) and sigma will be problematic as values become very large or very low depending on the draw. an alternative is to keep the numbers of the subsamples N1 and N2 (participants and non-participants) constant and draw from these fixed subsamples. then, the above problems disappear. yet, this is very close to a two sample bootstrap which requires the two samples to be random and independent. this is problematic as one applies heckman because they may not be independent. I had a look for literature on bootstrapping and two step regression but couldn't find much. would be great if someone could give me a hint how to proceed in these circumstances. cheers axel Axel Heitmueller, Centre for Economic Reform and Transformation, CERT School of Management Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh EH14 4AS UK phone +44(0)131 451 3969 fax +44 (0)131 451 3296 firstname.lastname@example.com www.som.hw.ac.uk/somah3/ * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

Of coarse I have no clue how that process would need to go. But, Using what Ive just learned and what your about to teach me on DOME, I know Im about to learn!!!
This is what makes it worth the effort. A young man willing to learn.
Yep wild_man, it's just that simple. We'll start with this piston....
Subtract the dome volume from the combustion chamber volume before you begin your calculations. ex: 118-25.5=92.5, so that's our new combustion chamber volume to calculate from. We have whacked off the piston dome and stuffed it up into the chamber, reducing the volume of the combustion chamber. Now, visualize the piston being perfectly flat on top with a slight valve relief divot which is worth 3 cc's.....see here.....
We'll call the notch "piston crown volume" and figure it in when we calculate. Or, we can borrow 3 cc's of material from the combustion chamber and stick it into the valve relief of the piston. We'll magically fill the valve relief with 3 cc's of material, leaving a perfectly smooth piston crown and an 95.5 cc combustion chamber volume (92.5-3=95.5). Doing your own calcs allows you to be whimsical if you want to.
What to do with the pop-up on the intake stroke though? It's sitting there on the piston crown and taking up space (volume) as the piston descends in the bore with the intake valve open. That 25.5 cc's of piston dome could have been 25.5 cc's of fuel/air mixture if a flat-top piston had been used, so I think we have to consider it and deduct 25.5 cc's from the cylinder volume.
So, BBC bored whatever, let's use 4.310" as a bore size with a 4.000" crank.
(.7854 X 4.310 X 4.310 X 4 X 16.387 = 956.32 cc's. Now, we deduct the 25.5 cc's from the 956.32 cc's and find an actual cylinder volume of 930.82 cc's.
Next, combustion chamber volume. You have become proficient at pouring voids and doing calculations to arrive at an exact answer. You're makin' a little money on the side, pourin' for the local speed shop. You pour these heads at 121.0 cc's across both heads. Someone has spent some time on them, equalizing the volumes chamber to chamber. If they aren't all the same, then you have different static compression ratios cylinder to cylinder.
We've stuffed 'em with the domes off the pistons and now we'll take back 3 cc's in just a minute, leaving a chamber volume of 95.5 cc's.
Now, we know that the block deck height is ~9.800" stock, but you measured this block at 9.785" with your 12" dial caliper...someone has taken a light cut on it sometime in the past. You hate electronic calipers because everytime you pick them up for use, the battery is dead. Anyway, we need that figure to know how much space there will be for the reciprocating assembly (crank, rods, pistons). Half the crank throw is 2.000", rod length is 6.135", piston compression height is 1.645"
so the length of the "stack" is these 3 added together and arriving at 9.780". This will leave a piston deck height volume of (.7854 x 4.31 x 4.31 x .005 x 16.387 = 1.19 cc's).
The value of the smooth piston crown will be zero.
A commonly used head gasket would have a bore of 4.370" and a thickness of 0.039", yielding 9.58 cc's.
1. cylinder volume 930.82 cc's
2. chamber volume 95.5 cc's
3. piston deck height volume 1.19
4. piston crown volume 0
5. head gasket volume 9.58
Your turn....

Berkeley Castle Berkeley is one of the most remarkable buildings in the Country and possibly the most outstanding example of Mediaeval domestic architecture in Britain English history has been lived out within the walls of the Castle and the most remarkable thing is that for nine centuries, the building, the Berkeley Family, the archives, the contents and the Estate have all survived together. The Castle is now the oldest building in the Country to be inhabited by the same family who built it. Scene of the brutal murder of Edward II in 1327 (visitors can see his cell and the nearby dungeon) and besieged by Cromwell's troops in 1645, the Castle is steeped in history but twenty-four generations of Berkeleys have gradually transformed a Norman fortress into the lovely home it is today. The State Apartments contain magnificent collections of furniture, rare paintings by primarily English and Dutch masters, and tapestries. Part of the world-famous Berkeley silver is on display in the Dining Room. Many other rooms are equally interesting including the Great Hall upon which site the Barons of the West Country met in 1215 before going to Runnymede to force King John to put his seal to the Magna Carta. In addition to the fantastic guided tours provided by the experienced guides, visitors can stroll along the beautiful Elizabethan garden terraces with ornamental lily pond, Elizabeth I's bowling green, and sweeping lawns. Also during the summer, visitors can enjoy the Tropical Butterfly House located in the Walled Garden.

Debra J. Saunders, San Francisco Chronicle
President Obama is running for re-election with an unusual pitch: He can't work with others.
He only gets along with yes-men. "I refuse to take no for an answer," Obama said Wednesday of his decision to make a "recess" appointment that placed Richard Cordray as head of a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Constitution, of course, gives the president the power to make appointments during Senate recesses. Technically, however, the Senate was in session. The imperial president bypassed Senate rules and years of precedent, because he wouldn't or couldn't cut a deal.
Later Wednesday, the White House announced three more recess appointments for vacant seats on the National Labor Relations Board. Obama explained: "When Congress refuses to act, and as a result, hurts our economy and puts our people at risk, then I have an obligation as president to do what I can without them."
Obama, a former constitutional law professor, just kicked the Constitution's delicate balance of powers by using the executive boot to step on the Senate's power to advise and consent….

Yongnou YN 565EX E-TTL Speedlite Flashgun for Canon
Hi Everyone,
I would like to know if anyone have any experience with Yongnou YN-565EX E-TTL Speedlite Flashgun for Canon ( http://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-YN-565EX-Speedlite-Flash-Canon/dp/B005HYMUX4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334595747&sr=8-1 ). I saw one review video on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc3-8ZpBaXg&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL43DDF56F6D41161E ) and which suggests that this flash gun is as good as Canon 580 EX II flashgun as far as the features are concerned. There is too much price difference as in India...580EX II canon comes around Rs. 25,000/- and YN565 EX comes around Rs. 6,500/-. I just don't wanna go with the words of this video but thought of asking experts members of dpreview. Please let me know your experts views and if it is a wise decision to buy just for the cheap cost or it worth and value for money flashgun..
Thanks in advance.

The Dark Knight Rises star, 29, tied the knot with longtime love Adam Shulman, 31, on Saturday night in Big Sur, California, according to People magazine.
The pair, who got engaged in November, 2011 after dating for three years, celebrated with more than 100 family and friends at a secluded private estate in the coastal town.
The wedding weekend kicked off on Friday night with a rehearsal dinner at Ventana Inn and Spa, the magazine reported, followed by the ceremony itself in a private marquee at sunset on Saturday.
The nuptials reportedly had a nature theme, with branches used to decorate the ceremony and reception.
Hathaway wore an off-the-shoulder gown designed by "very good friend" Valentino Garavani. The designer confirmed she would be a Valentino bride last week.
"She's a very good friend of mine," Garavani told E! News. "She's like my daughter."
"She's sensational. She's fantastic," he added. "She's a girl that ... She deserves what she has in this life. [That] means, she's already a great star. But she's going to be a great, great, great, great thousand times great star. She has all the qualities."

The location of the nuptials was kept secret from the guests, Celebuzz reports, adding that they they had to wear bracelets to gain access to the buses that would shuttle them to the venue.
Hathaway reportedly enlisted Yifat Oren to plan the nuptials - the same person who helped Natalie Portman plan her wedding to Benjamin Millipied earlier this year.
The actress previously said she planned to get married sometime next year.
She told Britain's Hello! magazine: "We're getting married, probably sometime next year-ish. Not this year, its too big with two films coming out.
"I haven't started planning yet. I was filming Les Mis when we decided to do it, and there was no way I could think about anything wedding-related with my head in the space it was in then. I've been so busy since then, I've not even decided what sort of ceremony I want."
The Les Miserables star began dating Shulman, an actor and jewellery designer, in late 2008 after meeting through mutual friends.
"I am very much in love with him, (only) Adam totally ruined my plan," Hathaway said last year of their relationship. "I was really actually looking forward to a little alone time, and then I fell in love like a fool!"
It was recently announced that Hathaway will showcase her singing chops by performing songs from the musical Cabaret in a one-off benefit concert in New York.
Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Town Square
Our house got egged last night
Original post made by Midtowner, Midtown, on Apr 16, 2010
I think that it is someone who lives in the area as I did not hear a car pull away.
We talk so much about how the students in Palo Alto get a good education and then go on to make a success of themselves. These kids are obviously falling through the cracks. I hope that they will realize that this behavior helps no one!! And they will go on to things more useful.

"We talk so much about how the students in Palo Alto get a good education and then go on to make a success of themselves. These kids are obviously falling through the cracks. "
Let's see. You did not see who did it, but you state that it was Palo Alto students. How did you reach that conlucsion? Maybe they were from San Jose and parked their car down the street from you or who really knows who they were.
Maybe it was one of your "neighborhood leaders" who was unhappy with the fact that you disagreed with her.

Do you have kids? If so, I bet they have a good idea about who is doing this.
And if this were happening repeatedly to my house, I would put up some cheap video surveillance cameras to catch the perp in the act.

I'm going to post a separate thread about an aspect of this, but I've seen kids near my house doing more than just "blowing off steam." Its spring break and they are probably bored, which is normal, but obviously there are some parents out there who are providing an adequate level of supervision and guidance for their teenagers.

Setup a surveillance camera with motion detection and turn over the resulting video to the Police. You may have to put a sign warning of video surveillance as well.

Making fun of someone who is in this situation is not funny, or blaming the victim.
Video cameras are cheap and easy to buy and set up these day, go to Fry's to buy them off the shelves. You can have the camera email an address when it gets tripped and that email address can be to a cell phone to wake you up. Careful of false positives or you'll never sleep again.
I would also put motion detecting floodlights where it will illuminate the area so that it will make it possible for the cameras as catch the criminals.
They could be going by on bikes or in cars and throwing eggs, so you need the motion detector to be set to high sensitivity so it will activate the cameras, and set the cameras to keep a few minutes before whatever event triggers them, that will give you the maximum chance to catch whoever it is.
My house has never been egged, but down the street a neighbor's house was, and the tree had toilet paper in it for months. It is a pain to look at, and pretty hard to clean as well. Eggs can do real damage too.
Things like this were better handled by people with shotguns and rock salt, lessons are learned better and cheaper and the results get around more.

on Apr 16, 2010 at 12:19 pm
Walter- good respond. Maybe it was Martians- but where would they get the eggs? And as you added- but more likely...
Steve-I do have kids. They can not think of anyone who would do it. Good idea re the camera- the police suggested it as well. He said that if I get a shot of the culprit they could take it from there...
I don't care where they come from- P.A. or San Jose this an immature, irresponsible and cowardly act. I doubt that this is it- but if anyone is against something my kids or I stand for- this is not the way to tell us. They should simply talk to us.

Why is Paly closed today? Is this Spring Break - again? How many of these 'breaks' do the students have? It's mid-April!! Normally there is a ski weeek earlier and all sorts of holidays, but none on Good Friday this year or Passover for "Easter".Must be hard on moms working outside the home.

Dear Anon,
Thank you for stating: "Making fun of someone who is in this situation is not funny, or blaming the victim." I appreciate your writing that!
I found the first poster's comment not helpful and just ignored it.
I am going to consider your suggestions. I had been thinking about getting more lights in the front anyway.
Thanks again to you and to the other helpful posts!

Paly and Gunn and all of the P.A. schools have been closed the whole week. It is Spring break. I agree they seem to have a lot of breaks. I think that it is hard on the parents and also on the students. But getting back to my main topic- They should find other more constructive ways to entertain themselves.

You made an unfounded accusation against young people in PA. I made a similar ridiculous accusation to show you how silly your comments were/ Ignore them at your own peril.

Who knows- " ignore them at my own peril" that could sound threatening- another comment I will ignore.
FYI-you did not read my first post well. I stated that " I think"- that means from my own deductions, that I assume, that I do not know for sure. I did not make, as you stated, an unfounded accusation. Then you suggested it might be a neighborhood leader. So you think it was an adult?! How would you know.
Pls read the other comments they were more helpful and more appropriate considering this situation. Again I thank the other posters-they helped a lot!

As you wish
"FYI-you did not read my first post well. I stated that " I think"- that means from my own deductions, that I assume, that I do not know for sure. I did not make, as you stated, an unfounded accusation."
But you posted an entire paragraph about Palo Alto students falling through the cracks. From that and your statement previously about it being someone living in the area, it was pretty clear to me that you were accusing some group of Palo Alto students.
"Then you suggested it might be a neighborhood leader. So you think it was an adult?! How would you know."
I would not know,but as I stated above, I made a ridiculous accusation against a neighborhood leader to show you how ridiculous your accusation against Palo Alto student was.
You could have posted the incident without commentary--that would have been sufficient.

Kate and Midtowner,
You've got to be kidding about the "many school breaks"kids supposedly get in Palo Alto.
Other than summer break, the kids get 2 weeks off in winter, and 1 week off in spring (this week this year). That's it! We no longer have "ski week", thanks to working parents who objected...
Other than the above mentioned breaks, all the kids get are some extended (usually 3-day) week-ends. That is not much, and I would argue that kids should get more breaks to get over being so tired and stressed by their school schedules and curriculum.
School children's schedules and breaks should revolve around the students' needs, not around the parents' needs.
a resident of Greenmeadow
on Apr 16, 2010 at 5:52 pm
Other Midtowner -- kids definitely get many more breaks now than in years past (as in previous generations years past, not recent years past). The half-days, the teacher prep/training days, etc. are primarily the result of teacher union negotiations. Given the two weeks off December/January and spring break several months later, a ski week seems over the top. Many kids struggle with the transitions and take awhile to get back in the school mode, so frequent changes in schedule are not necessarily a good thing.
It makes sense that issues like child care be considered when increasing breaks by a week -- for parents with minimal resources and work schedules necessitated by a high cost of living, of course their schedules should part of the decision process.
Couldn't agree more that some kids are over-scheduled and some (not all) are overstressed. It's a pretty complicated issue that is unlikely to be impacted much by a ski week. It does, however, need to addressed on an ongoing basis in both schools and homes. Parents expecting a reasonable level of effort (not grades and AP classes that keep a child up until 2am every night) and a balanced life is key.

"Things like this were better handled by people with shotguns and rock salt, lessons are learned better and cheaper and the results get around more."
The best advice I've heard, but alas, the days of common sense and consequences for actions are long gone.
Now we have political correctness and a constant stream of excuses for vandalism, as exemplified by many of the posts here.

My teenagers have been out of school for a week but both have used the time well, resting, practicing music, getting some job skills, socializing, practicing sports. But I've been home with them and in the evenings they are with their dad and sometimes with friends. I agree this would have been a difficult week if I had a job outside the home. But it is the parents responsibility to know where their kids are and to provide safe supervised activities for them. Letting them hang out in midtown or downtown unsupervised is a recipe for trouble. I like the video camera idea. You just might catch some of the egg happy parents in town who think it's not a bad thing to throw eggs at other people's property - remember the egg wars? Adults will be, well, kids.
a resident of Midtown
on Apr 16, 2010 at 8:35 pm
To neighbor:
I don't know how things were generations ago, but I do know that for many years now the school year in California has been mandated to be 180 days long. So it is 180 days no matter what. If we don't have breaks during the school year, then we have a longer summer break. It makes no difference how it's arranged when it comes to the number of days without school.
Based on that, I would much rather have the school year reorganized with more breaks during the school year and a shorter summer break. Why? Because I think it would benefit the kids, who would be more rested during the school year, and would forget less of what they learned if they had a shorter summer break.

To Midtowner - I haven't had to post my thread yet. Too busy supervising my own kids! Basically I was just going to talk about how many kids I see at night pounding down beers at night in the schoolyards and then driving away, but I didn't want to risk distracting people from your thread. I will try to post it up later tonight or tomorrow!

If this is the "third time it has happened", someone has it out for your kids. I'd take the eggs instead of bullying at school. Do buy a camera and nail these kids. As to the blame, their parents have obviously failed in nurturing them.
I graduated from Paly in the 80s and we did have less breaks, but we also had much less homework and much more free time. I welcome the breaks nowadays because academics are much, much more rigorous than before. Jordan is teaching things we learned at Paly. Breaks are good for our students.

Nora Charles, Marty, Paly Alum, Anon, Steve, Another parent, and Outside Observer,
Thank you for your comments! You helped me with my feelings, and figure out what to do. I also spoke with several of my neighbors who were all annoyed at this vandalism and will all help watch out if it happens again.
Paly Alum- my kids have never been bullied- but to me this is a coward's act. And it would be good for their parents to know.
I think breaks are good for kids- but there are more constructive and productive things that they should be doing. And at 11:00 they should be home. I told one friend- next I'd like some bread so I can make french toast. But the whole thing is not funny, and there are no excuses for it.
a resident of Stanford
on May 13, 2010 at 6:25 pm
It is a bad feeling to be targeted like that. And you're so right--it was a very cowardly act and the parents should know. Well, let's hope the culprits have grown up a bit and will find their kicks in more acceptable ways!
a resident of Midtown
on May 14, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Thanks for your comments.
After the first couple of times I got used to it and it was more like here they go again- kind of cheap this time only 2 eggs! And I forgot to mention that the first time we found plastic forks on our lawn. It was odd. I said to my friends we got "forked!"
It is cowardly-they think that we can not respond. But it is a small community, and often eventually people will talk. So even one of their friends may tell someone and we will find out. It is also vandalism, and they can get in trouble for that.
Nothing in awhile- so maybe they are doing more interesting, exciting and mature things.
Thanks again Nora for your thoughtful responses!

Fortunately, Armando has enough dreams for both of them and, when he hears about a wheelchair ballroom dance competition that will soon be held in NY, he sees a way to return something to Mia that she thinks is lost forever. At first she is reluctant--wheelchair dancing, though highly popular overseas, is something she never even knew existed.

Although Malcolm has a genius IQ, he can't seem to make sense of the opposite sex, much less his embarrassing family. LOIS (Jane Kaczmarek) is the outspoken, opinionated mom, who still manages to rule the roost even though her boys are growing wise to her crafty ways. HAL (Bryan Cranston), a dad who is just a bumbling, big kid at heart, often finds himself creating more chaos than his five boys combined. REESE (Justin Berfield) has mastered the art of a perfect blank stare, and makes up for hi
The Defenders
The Defenders stars Jim Belushi and Jerry O'Connell in a comedic drama about two colorful Las Vegas defense attorneys who go all-in when it comes to representing their clients. Nick and Pete are the local go-to guys with an eclectic client list who are still looking to hit their own jackpot. Leading the law firm of Morelli & Kaczmarek are Nick Morelli (Belushi), an earnest, hard-charging attorney who represents his clients to the best of his ability, no matter how big or small the case, and his partner, Pete Kaczmarek (O'Connell), whose passion for the law is matched only by his love of fast cars, beautiful women and expensive clothes. Joining them in their growing law practice is new associate Lisa Tyler (Jurnee Smollett), an enthusiastic young attorney looking to put her exotic dancing days behind her; and their young assistant, Sophie (Tanya Fischer), a spunky and sweet ingénue who is eager to please her bosses. As Lady Luck shines on their legal careers, the partners have their hands full when it comes to their personal lives. While Pete is busy cruising the Vegas Strip for his latest romantic conquest, Nick is focused on repairing his fractured marriage to his estranged wife, Jessica (Gillian Vigman), while remaining present in the life of their young son. No matter the offense, Nick and Pete aim to prove that when the stakes are high they're willing to bet the house on the clients they defend in Sin City. Carol Mendelsohn, Niels Mueller and Kevin Kennedy, Joe and Harry Gantz, and Davis Guggenheim are the executive producers for CBS Television Studios.
The Originals
Family is power. The Original Vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together, always and forever. Now, centuries have passed and the bonds of family are broken. Time, tragedy and hunger for power have torn the Original Family apart. When Klaus Mikaelson, the original vampire-werewolf hybrid, receives a mysterious tip that a plot is brewing against him in the supernatural melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans, he returns to the city his family helped build. Klaus' questions lead him to a reunion with his diabolical former protégé, Marcel, a charismatic vampire who has total control over the human and supernatural inhabitants of New Orleans. Determined to help his brother find redemption, Elijah follows Klaus and soon learns that the werewolf Hayley has also come to the French Quarter searching for clues to her family history, and has fallen into the hands of a powerful witch named Sophie. Tensions between the town's supernatural factions are nearing a breaking point as Marcel commands his devoted followers and rules with absolute power. For Klaus, the thought of answering to his powerful protégé is unthinkable, and he vows to reclaim what was once his – the power, the city and his family. While they wait to see if their sister Rebekah will leave Mystic Falls and join them, Klaus and Elijah form an uneasy alliance with the witches to ensure that New Orleans will be ruled by THE ORIGINALS once again. The series stars Joseph Morgan ("The Vampire Diaries," "Immortals") as Klaus, Daniel Gillies ("The Vampire Diaries," "Saving Hope") as Elijah, Claire Holt ("The Vampire Diaries," "Pretty Little Liars") as Rebekah, Phoebe Tonkin ("The Vampire Diaries," "The Secret Circle") as Hayley, Charles Michael Davis ("Grey's Anatomy," "Switched at Birth") as Marcel, Daniella Pineda ("The Fitzgerald Family Christmas," "Homeland") as Sophie, Leah Pipes ("The Deep End," "Sorority Row") as Cami and Danielle Campbell ("Starstruck," "Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection") as Davina. THE ORIGINALS is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with My So-Called Company, Alloy Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios. Julie Plec ("The Vampire Diaries," "Kyle XY," "Wasteland"), Leslie Morgenstein ("The Vampire Diaries," "Gossip Girl") and Gina Girolamo ("The Lying Game") are executive producers. Plec wrote the pilot episode, which was directed by Chris Grismer ("The Vampire Diaries").
Sebastian Stark, a charismatic, supremely self-confident defense attorney who, after a shocking outcome in one of his cases and a personal epiphany, brings his cutthroat tactics to the prosecutor's office as the head of the Los Angeles District Attorney's High Profile Crime Unit. A group of young prosecutors are about to have the learning experience of a lifetime because, though Stark is seeking to redeem himself, he has no intention of cooling his underhanded approach to cases just because he's now working for the "good guys."
For the first time, Pete Young (Jeremy Sumpter, Peter Pan (2003)) takes a risk--perhaps the only risk of his young life--when he applies for and lands his dream job as a batboy for the New York Empires. The problem is that his single mother, Lynne (Mare Winningham, "The Brotherhood of Poland, N.H."), has no idea what he's up to. Until now, he's been the golden boy while his rebellious older sister, Betsy (Kirsten Storms), has always been in the doghouse. Pete attends a strict Catholic high school where he hangs out with his best friend, Mike (Dan Byrd), who hopes to cash in on his friend's new position in life. On the job, Pete becomes a member of a new family that includes Conrad Dean (Dean Cain, "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman"), the team's captain and star third baseman and one of the boy's all-time idols, who takes on the role of an older brother. Also in the clubhouse are Pete's boss, Lou Russo (Christopher Lloyd), a gruff but fair equipment manager who becomes

Life Is Wild
Katie Clarke (Leah Pipes, "Clubhouse") may never forgive her veterinarian father, Danny (D.W. Moffett, "For Your Love") for dragging their entire blended family out of New York City to spend a year living in a broken-down lodge called The Blue Antelope on a game reserve deep inside South Africa. In fact, the one area of agreement among Katie, her 11-year-old brother Chase (K'sun Ray, "Smith"), their rebellious teenage step-brother Jesse (Andrew St. John, "General Hospital") and 7-year-old step-sister Mia (Mary Matilyn Mouser, "Eloise"), is that Danny has lost his mind.

A dog that refused to stop barking when a fire broke out helped save a mother and her two children from the blaze in the bedroom of a Wanganui house.
The dog's incessant barking drew the children's mother outside to where she saw flames coming from a bedroom window on Monday.
Wanganui Fire Service principal officer Bernie Rush said the family was very lucky and the mother who rescued her children, aged 2 and 4, was a "very brave lady".
Mr Rush said the woman was still distraught at how close they were to a tragedy.
The 8.30pm fire in the house started in a bedroom where it is suspected the children lit the fire with matches.
The woman ran into the bedroom and rescued the children who were under a bed.
She and her children were taken by St John Ambulance to Wanganui Hospital where they were admitted overnight for smoke inhalation.
Mr Rush said the bed was burning, and because it was under a window, the heat from the fire broke the window and the fire vented out through the hole. Had the window not broken the room would have filled with smoke.
When two fire trucks arrived the house was well alight and anything not burnt would have been seriously damaged by smoke.
"We cannot reinforce enough the importance of keeping matches and lighters away from children, and to install smoke alarms in sleeping areas and one in the hallway."
Investigations into the fire were continuing yesterday, and the mother and her two children were staying with family in Wanganui.

Cannizzaro on D&C: Pats-Jets a toss-up
|08.04.10 at 8:59 am ET
Mark Cannizzaro, who covers the Jets for the New York Post, joined the Dennis & Callahan show Wednesday morning to talk about the upcoming NFL season. To hear the interview, visit the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Cannizzaro said he doesn't believe the hype that the Jets are the clear favorite to surpass the Patriots in the AFC East. "I don't discount the Patriots at all," Cannizzaro said. "I'm a believer in what [Bill] Belichick brings to the table in a big way. … I look at the Jets and Patriots as a toss-up. I don't see either team having any kind of crazy advantage. I see a lot of things that equal each other out."
Cannizzaro said cornerback Darrelle Revis' holdout isn't hurting the Jets so much now, noting that Revis likely is home watching more film and working out harder than he would at camp. However, New York's prospects for long-term success will be affected if the contract dispute is not resolved. "They will not go deep in the playoffs without Revis playing for them," Cannizzaro said, adding, "I think it's going to end up getting done, but the sides are miles apart."
Cannizzaro said he spent some time with running back LaDanian Tomlinson this week and predicts the former Charger will play a key role for the Jets this season. "I think he's going to be a big factor," Cannizzaro said. "I think he's going to have a pretty productive year," especially catching passes out of the backfield. Added Cannizzaro: "LaDanian Tomlinson wants to rock, there's no doubt about it. … I think he's determined to make it hard for [offensive coordinator Brian] Schottenheimer not to have him in the backfield."

The Musqueam band has shipped fish to the Williams Lake band after the Polley Lake disaster – but it's coming at a cost.
Musqueam Fisheries Manager Richard Sparrow says they'll still share fish with the Williams Lake band.
This despite being told by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans they'll add the number of fish to their yearly fishing tally – not Williams Lake's.
"This is a unique situation, we hope we never see a disaster like this again," said Sparrow. "You would think that the DFO would recognize that, and show some flexibility, and allow the fishing to take place so we can help the communities that need it."
Sparrow says their number for social and ceremonial needs is at 75-thousand per year.
That number isn't enough to support their own band.
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has yet to respond.
In the meantime, Williams Lake chief Ann Louie says their band is still concerned with fish consumption safety.
"Saying it's probably going to be safe to be utilize…me personally, I'd be scared to try it and I know our people are all saying the same thing. It's easy for the company and the government to tell us it's okay to eat that fish, but our people eat that fish more than anybody else."

Bestowing power on his people

Man on a mission: Anthony Mundine says league was too small to cope with his grandiose aim of becoming a household name the world over.
Photo: Jon Reid
Anthony Mundine may take his message to the stage and soapbox, but not before inspiring his peers from the ring, writes Jessica Halloran.
The Man admits he can't afford to lose his next fight. Can't afford to be laid on the canvas with his brain numb. Because if Anthony Mundine falls, his career will probably be over.
"I've worked hard for this fight, I've prepared for this fight as if it's my last, I can't afford to lose because it would take too long for me to get back to the position I am in," Mundine said quietly.
This morning Australian time, in a Copenhagen boxing ring, his next opponent, who he will fight for the WBA super-middleweight title, will be decided.
Will it be the lanky Puerto Rican power puncher and former professional volleyballer Manny Siaca, a man who's already beaten "the Man", taking Mundine's world title last May? Or will it be Dane Mikkel Kessler, whose alias is "Hitman"?
Mundine will be part of the crowd. He will be sitting close to the ring, taking in every move and punch. And he'll visualise climbing into the ring for his next win. "I really want it, my detractors motivate me, people that say I can't do it motivate me, and my own personal motivation is to become the best of the best and to do something only a few boxers have done - win back-to-back titles, to become a two-time world champion," he said. "To set up a foundation for the future."
As he spoke, his three-year-old son, Rahim, weaved in and out of his legs. At one point he bumped his head on the table and started wailing. Mundine gently touched it and said: "Why you being a sook for, man?"
His partner, Danielle, is pregnant with their fourth child. "Another boy." Would he encourage his children to box? "Yeah, whatever they want they want. They can play league, box, be a doctor, I'll support them."
Mundine supports not only his family but others whose lives have twisted the wrong way.
Mundine's 28-year-old cousin, a father of three, recently ran on a dangerous mix of drugs. The Department of Community Services took his children away. Mundine could see his cousin's life fading away, so he invited him into his home and said: "I'll help you out, I'll get you on your feet."
"He was on the yandi [drugs], he went a bit schizophrenic. When he first come in he was craving the yandi. I said, 'No, you are not getting it'. I laid the law down. If he wanted to go further I'd hit him up the ribs. I'd let him know I'm serious," said Mundine.
"He was going to go to jail for two years. But now he's with me, he's turned it around. He's doing periodic detention and he's back to the guy we knew before. I knew if I didn't help no one else would."
Nathan Brown, a former St George teammate and close friend, says Mundine has a "very, very kind heart". Last year Brown saw Mundine open up his Blakehurst home to his brother, Jason. "My brother had been in a bit of trouble with drugs," Brown said. "But Choc took him in. He hung out with him and his gang and set him straight."
Brown said it wasn't only his brother that Mundine had looked after. "He took in a kid from Redfern whose mum was a junkie," Brown said. "Choc doesn't promote this side of himself. I guess it's not going to sell tickets at his next bout.
"But he also doesn't have to promote this side of himself, he knows he's a nice person, a good person. People that know Anthony think the world of him."
He cares greatly about "his people" and, while he makes his dollars fighting, he reinforces his position as a role model.
"I'm fighting my people's plight, it just so happens I'm a boxer as well," Mundine said.
"This country was built on genocide. When they failed the next best thing was to brainwash people's minds, and push on their culture to us. It's unfortunate a lot of people don't have the mind, will and desire to turn things around. I want to give that back to my people, give them back pride and self-esteem.
"The system makes my people feel inferior to them. Makes us feel second-rate, that's what motivates me as an Aboriginal boy. Don't drink, don't smoke; I want to be a great role model for the children. I want to be the best athlete to come out of this country."
Mundine said he wants to become a politician but first he is going to release a "top-notch, bangin"' rap album. "I want to go into politics, long-term, later," Mundine said, staccato. "This is why my career is so important to be the best. To break boundaries no one ever thought possible.
"I'm working on an album at the moment. I'm rappin'. I'm collaborating with a lot of artists and it's going to be a top notch, bangin' album. R'n'B, hip-hop, that's another outlet I can use to tell my story."
But right now Mundine's fight is to be "da best" boxer. Mundine's athleticism has always been seen as his strength but sometimes he's been too soft in the ring. He admits he has been too passive. "Maybe in certain fights I've lacked the aggression that I normally have, but my last two fights I've been really good ...
"[But] it's about control, it's not about being wild. You've got to throw the punches technically right, you've got to make sure it's an effective aggression."
He takes a moment to gather an analogy. "Like a lion - once they get the neck they are not going to back off, you know?"
Mundine, 29, is not backing off any time soon. He says he won't go back to league - "too small, I'm looking for the world" - and insists that he will fight until he's 35.
"I'm looking to show my talents in the States, in the mecca of boxing. I will let the people know about my story there and become a worldwide name. I want to fight until I'm 35, then I could have a big surprise for a lot of people."
Give us a hint? "It's a surprise, I can't tell ya."

BOCA RATON, the United States, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) -- With their fate hung in the air in a dead heat campaign, U.S. President Barack Obama and his Republican foe Mitt Romney Monday night spared no effort to flail one another on foreign policy issues in their last and final debate before going over voters' scrutiny on Nov. 6.
Neither could afford to fare poorly in their showdown in Lynn University in Boca Raton of Florida, as latest polls showed the duo neck-and-neck among likely voters.
And Obama pummeled his challenger relentlessly over his inconsistencies on foreign policy, focus of the debate.
In his face-to-face encounter with Romney, Obama focused his efforts on shedding light on his rival's inconsistencies on foreign policy issues.
Counterattacking Romney over his assault on his Middle East policies, which the former governor of Massachusetts said have resulted in terrorism and a rising tide of tumult and confusion, the president brought to the fore his adversary's confusing viewpoint on a number of foreign policy issues.
"Governor Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that al-Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not al-Qaida; you said Russia, in the 1980s, they're now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War's been over for 20 years," Obama told his foe.
The GOP nominee insisted that while describing Russia as a No. 1 geopolitical foe, he also called Iran "the greatest national security threat we face."
"Russia does continue to battle us in the UN time and time again. I have clear eyes on this," he said, referring to the country's multiple vetoes of draft resolutions on Syria at the world body.
"I'm not going to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to Russia, or Mr. Putin," he added. "And I'm certainly not going to say to him, I'll give you more flexibility after the election. After the election, he'll get more backbone."
Obama, unaware that the mic in between was open, told then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in March in Seoul that he had little flexibility in addressing Russia's objections to the NATO missile defense system before his November re-election bid.
"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility," the American president said, pledging to send the information to Vladimir Putin, then Russian Prime Minister who returned to the presidency in May.
Obama also attacked Romney on his evolving positions on Iraq and Afghanistan.
"You say that you're not interested in duplicating what happened in Iraq. But just a few weeks ago, you said you think we should have more troops in Iraq right now," the president said.
In the debate, he repeated his withdrawal of American troops from Iraq as a foreign policy accomplishment, along with the gradual drawdown of U.S. combat troops from Afghanistan and the killing of Osama bin Laden and other top leaders of al-Qaida.
"You said that, first, we should not have a timeline in Afghanistan. Then you said we should. Now you say maybe or it depends, which means not only were you wrong, but you were also confusing in sending mixed messages both to our troops and our allies," Obama told Romney.
In a nutshell, Obama asserted that Romney is pursuing a "wrong and reckless leadership that is all over the map" that "is not a recipe for American strength, or keeping America safe over the long haul."
Moderator Bob Schieffer from CBS News selected five topics for the 90-minute final encounter, namely America's role in the world, the war in Afghanistan, Iran's nuclear issue, the changing Middle East and the new face of terrorism, and the rise of China.
In an election dominated by economic growth and job creation, where Romney has a wide margin of lead now over his foe, the two nominees managed to revert to the top concerns of voters in their jousting.
Asserting that America's influence is waning under Obama's stewardship in the past four years, Romney, former CEO of a private equity investment firm, called for a strong America to promote the principles of peace.
"And that begins with a strong economy here at home. Unfortunately, the economy is not stronger," he said. "When the president of Iraq -- excuse me, of Iran, Ahmadinejad, says that our debt makes us not a great country, that's a frightening thing."
"You can't have an economy that over the last three years keeps slowing down its growth rate. You can't have kids coming out of college, half of them can't find a job today, or a job that's commensurate with their college degree. We have to get our economy going," Romney remarked.
For his part, Obama claimed that the end of the Iraqi war enabled his administration to begin the drawdown in Afghanistan, refocus on neglected alliances, and start rebuilding America.
"Making sure that we're bringing manufacturing back to our shores so that we're creating jobs here, as we've done with the auto industry, not rewarding companies that are shipping jobs overseas," he said.
The president also dwelled on education and energy, issues among top concerns of the American voters.
"Making sure that we've got the best education system in the world, including retraining our workers for the jobs of tomorrow," he said.
"Doing everything we can to control our own energy," Obama remarked. "We've cut our oil imports to the lowest level in two decades because we've developed oil and natural gas. But we also have to develop clean energy technologies that will allow us to cut our exports in half by 2020. That's the kind of leadership that we need to show."
On the budget deficit, which has hit 1 trillion dollars for four years in a row, Obama said, "We've got to do it in a responsible way by cutting out spending we don't need, but also asking the wealthiest to pay a little bit more. That way we can invest in the research and technology that's always kept us at the cutting edge."
"Unfortunately, Governor Romney's plan doesn't do it," he added. "Both at home and abroad, he has proposed wrong and reckless policies."
The duo rattled on, prompting the moderator to remind them of the debate focus.
Obama's lackluster performance in the first presidential debate on Oct. 3 resulted in his quick loss of a widening lead, which contracted to a tied 47 percent among likely voters just one day before the showdown.
The president rebounded following the second duel.
A CBS News snap poll found that 53 percent of the uncommitted voters saw Obama as the clear winner, while 23 percent favored Romney, and 24 percent called it a draw.
A CNN poll also put the Democratic incumbent 8 percentage points ahead of Romney.

By the late 1960's, the anger in the poorer urban areas over charges of police brutality was smoldering. In Chicago, Fred Hampton formed a Black Panther Party chapter, at a time when police surveillance of movement activists was increasing. During this same period, inmates at New York's Attica prison took over the prison in an effort to publicize intolerable conditions.

text: he is our Kordell Steward. A guy management fell in love with and ultimately held onto for too long. Costas comment after the game stunned me that Romo has lost 6 out of 7 elimination games. We can't escape that reality. Not sure what options are out there for Dallas but continuing with a Romo guided team is act of futility. I woke up yesterday with kid excitement because a tiny piece of me felt maybe Romo was over the hump. But we just need to accept who he is and make major changes regardless how painful they may be for short term.
