KNOXVILLE - Highlighted by a pair of 10-plus play drives from the first-team offense, Tennessee held its third scrimmage of the preseason Saturday afternoon at Neyland Stadium.
"We made a lot of progress," head coach Derek Dooley said. "I think the guys were focused, ready to go and treated it pretty seriously, as they should have. I was pleased with that. We still have a long way to go, especially in the situational part of the game. That's what I'm most concerned about. It takes us a little while to process what's happening. I think that's a sign of youth. I think we're making progress. Our legs are heavy as they should be. Recovery will be on the way, but it's not here yet. Good day."
A pair of runs totaling 21 yards from senior tailback Tauren Poole kick-started Tennessee's opening drive. Faced with a third down, sophomore quarterback Tyler Bray found sophomore wide receiver Justin Hunter for his lone reception of the day, a 28-yarder.
Wrapping up a 10-play, 57-yard drive, sophomore placekicker Michael Palardy converted a 37-yard field goal for UT's first score of the day.
The first-team offense returned to the field with the daunting task of beginning at its own 1-yard line, but Bray commanded a 16-play, 99-yard drive that featured a perfect 4-for-4 third-down success rate. Completing 6-of-8 passes for 75 yards on the march, Bray connected with six different receivers, including five completions that converted third downs.
Bray's second drive of the day saw completions to sophomore tight end Mychal Rivera (nine yards), sophomore wideout Da'Rick Rogers (10 yards), freshman tight end Brendan Downs (12 yards), freshman wide receiver DeAnthony Arnett (15 yards), sophomore fullback Channing Fugate (23 yards) and freshman wide out Vincent Dallas (five yards).
Dallas' reception finished off the drive in the end zone, not surprisingly, on third down. Bray finished the afternoon 10-of-20 for 144 yards and a TD.
"We were wondering if we could do that because of our youth," Dooley said. "I look at the last two scrimmages. We had about three or four drives over seven plays. This time, it's 11 (10) and 16. It's not the gun-slinging, big-play (offense). I'd like a little of both. We want it all. We want a long drive when we want a long drive and we want to go score when we want to go score. I don't know what we're going to be."
The Vols ran multiple situations, including a pair of goal-line sets that ended in rushing touchdowns. Freshman tailback Marlin Lane took one of his 13 carries into the end zone from two yards out, while sophomore Reggie Juin also scored from the 2-yard line.
Tennessee also managed the red zone as freshman quarterback Nash Nance successfully led a 2-play drive that started at the defense's 20-yard line, and was capped by a tightly-covered 10-yard completion to newly-converted senior wide receiver Anthony Anderson.
Senior quarterback Matt Simms captained a 5-play, 69-yard drive in an under four-minute situation. Freshman tailback Jaron Toney, who led the Vols with 83 yards rushing, started the drive with a 28-yard carry. Simms completed a 35-yard pass to freshman tailback Deanthonie Summerhill, UT's longest play of the day, to set up a 7-yard rushing score from Toney.
Palardy also added another 37-yard field goal.
Sophomore linebacker John Propst led UT defensively with seven tackles, while freshman Curt Maggitt made the Vols' leaderboard for the second consecutive scrimmage with four stops. Freshman defensive lineman Jordan Williams led UT with 1 1/2 sacks, while junior defensive back Rod Wilks was disruptive in the backfield as well with a sack to go with a team-high three quarterback hurries.
The Tennessee offense didn't throw any interceptions, but did turn it over once via fumbles. Sophomore defensive lineman Joseph Ayres recovered the lone UT miscue, while junior defensive lineman Willie Bohannon forced a fumble that the offense maintained.
Head coach Derek Dooley
(On the sophomores being in new roles this season)
"Last year when (these young guys) went in, they really didn't have any pressure. We were a bad football team. We were 2-6 so if they went out and stunk it up, nobody really would've cared. They could be loose. They were loose and they played well. Now, they don't have the luxury of having old guys in front of them. They don't have the luxury of saying, `We're going to save the day.' It's their team. The more you realize that, the more you realize how big Tennessee football is, you start getting the exposure and you start getting on the cover of these magazines, it's normal to start feeling a little pressure. Everybody talks about these sophomores and they go, `What happened?' Well, it's a different ballgame when you start feeling it. It's your team, there's pressure and they have to learn how to manage it."
(On the importance of running the ball well)
"They did a lot better. Both Tauren (Poole) and Marlin (Lane) made some good runs. The statistics won't be too high because we had a goal-line situation and some four-minute situations, but in the regular scrimmage we were running the ball very effectively. If we don't run the ball well this year, we're not going to be any good. That's just how it is. We don't have enough wideouts. We don't have enough experience at quarterback and receiver play to go out there and sling it around the park. We're going to have to run the ball well, we did and we made a lot of progress today."
(On the defense not giving up big plays)
"I think that's a good sign for our defense. Our defense is not getting gutted, if you will. They're in cover position. They're making you work on offense. They're making you convert thirds. We have to get off the field. We've given up a lot of long drives. We have to keep looking at third down and see where we can get better."
Senior tailback Tauren Poole
(On the scrimmage)
"The offense came out on point. They did a great job of being enthusiastic. We were enjoying the day and having fun out there. I think that's Coach Dooley's whole point, he just wants us to have fun and enjoy being out here and being at Neyland Stadium."
(On the offensive line)
"They came out and wanted to be very physical today. They were smiling in the huddle. (James) Stone was doing a great job of getting everybody up. It was great to see. They opened up holes for us the first couple of drives. But, I know we have to continue to improve."
Senior linebacker Austin Johnson
(On Tyler Bray)
"He was really cool in the pocket and I feel he had a lot of confidence in the O-Line. I feel like he went through his reads and with him at quarterback you never know where he's going to go and he can put the ball anywhere he wants. You just have to be on your feet."
(On freshman linebackers Curt Maggitt and A.J. Johnson)
"I feel like they are a lot more comfortable. We are kind of getting a flow with each other. We are starting to work off each other and get a feel for playing with each other and I think its helping out a lot."
(On being a leader)
"I love being their guy to look up to. They come to me for questions and that's what I want. I want to make sure they know what's going on and keep progressing."
Sophomore quarterback Tyler Bray
(On the defense saying both sides won)
"They can look at it however they want. We're both getting better so that's all that matters. As long as they are improving and we are improving, that is great."
(On relaxing for today's scrimmage)
"I talked to Coach Chaney the other day about what we needed to do on Saturday. I just needed to relax and go back to the way we were playing last year. I was just rushing myself and trying to make things happen too fast instead of just relaxing and trusting my line. I've got all the trust in the world but I just try to over think and rush through. Last year the expectations weren't that high and this year they are so I've kind of forced myself to do things I normally wouldn't do."
Sophomore defensive lineman Jacques Smith
(On UT's defense in today's scrimmage)
"(The defense) did well today. We played better and we got after it. We were up-tempoed a little bit, but we managed to keep in the game. We had quite a few long drives when we managed to (hold them) to a field goal. That's what our plan is to do this year and I think we are completing some of the goals we had set out for ourselves this summer."
(On how much pressure the defensive line got compared to previous scrimmages)
"I think it was the same amount of pressure, they just made those big plays and that's what we need to do to win. It's a positive note on both sides of the ball."
(On getting close to the start of the season)
"You go about four months playing and seeing the same guys. They know my tendencies and I know their tendencies, so it's always great to play against an opponent when they don't know what you are going to do and you have to study and watch them. That's the difference between the season and camp. You have to study your opponent and know his every move. We do a great job of that and I am so excited for the season."
Sophomore wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers
(On the scrimmage)
"It was a good physical day of good football. I think as a young team we had a lot of growing up to do this summer and through camp, but I feel like we have made strides to be where we are at."
Sophomore defensive lineman Maurice Couch
(On learning different spots on the D-Line)
"I feel very comfortable playing both (3-technique and nose tackle). It was very tough at first learning both, I made a lot of mistakes in practice, but Coach (Lance) Thompson told me, there's no such thing as a perfect player. I learn from a lot of mistakes."

By Kate Andrews, ChildFund staff writer
In late August, about a month's worth of rain fell within a couple of days in Manila, causing massive flooding in communities where ChildFund Philippines works. Some of the families of enrolled children were displaced temporarily, and many are now cleaning and repairing their homes.
Typhoons are a common occurrence in the Philippines, and it's important for communities to be prepared. That's where ChildFund's Emergency Action Fund enters the equation. With your contribution, we'll be able to respond to emergencies faster, bringing aid and protection to children within hours and days of a disaster.
Although we've come to expect seasonal flooding in some regions of the world, often a crisis can occur without warning, such as the 2012 earthquake in Guatemala. ChildFund's many years of experience in the field helps us assess needs, coordinate projects and deliver resources that assist families in dire need. We also have strong partnerships with local governments and other relief organizations.
More than 200 million people are affected by natural disasters each year, and 7.6 million are displaced by conflict or persecution. By making a donation to the Emergency Action Fund, you'll help us assist children who need immediate help. Here is what the fund will help us do:
Enable ChildFund to mobilize teams of specialists within hours of when a disaster strikes.
Supply food, clean water, blankets, shelter and other emergency aid to children and families as quickly as possible.
Repair and restore homes, schools and vital social infrastructure such as water, sanitation and hygiene systems to prevent disease.
Provide Child-Centered Spaces and psychosocial support to help children cope and recover confidence after an emergency.
In the months after a disaster, ChildFund will remain in the affected communities, doing some of the most important long-term work: helping children regain a feeling of safety and self-esteem. Help these children and their families by making a gift to the Emergency Action Fund.

After two days of well needed chilling out in Chile ...well it was well needed as me and zo were boh ilol out of both ends...Nice!
San Pedro De Atacama is a very nice chilled out town.... i liked it a lot, i found it to be the sort of place you could get stuck easily. Nice dusty streets and a little warm for once!
We decided to give sandboarding a go! Found it to be a lot of effort climbing up the sand dunes for a real quick ride...but worth trying once and glad we did it.
We then decided to change our plans...... original plan was to work through Chile untill we reach Santiago in the south and the location of our flight to Oz...... after some reseach and realising that Chile was mainly desert in between San Pedro and Santiago we decided to add another stamp to the passort and work south through Argentina for for 2 weeks. And hopefully if the price is right along withj the budget maybe get some snowboarding in :)
Soo off to Argentina!

Neelam Had Many Records to His Credit, Says Pranab
By Express News Service | Published: 24th December 2013 08:22 AM |
Last Updated: 24th December 2013 08:22 AM | A+A A- |
President Pranab Mukherjee, who participated in the valedictory of Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy's birth centenary celebrations here on Monday, hailed the former president's contribution to the development of Andhra Pradesh.
As the first chief minister of united Andhra Pradesh, following incorporation of Telangana into the state as part of Linguistic Reorganisation, provided effective leadership for development and modernisation of the state, he said.
"If today, Andhra Pradesh is hailed as the granary of South India, much credit is due to Reddy who gave shape to the plans for construction of Nagarjuna Sagar, Srisailam, Sriram Sagar and Vamsadhara projects,'' he said.
Stating that Reddy's tenure as President was a period of unprecedented political turmoil, which saw him swear in three governments led by Morarji Desai, Charan Singh and Indira Gandhi, he said Reddy took historic decision on a number of important issues due to his long years in public life and close association with leaders from all sections of opinion.
Recalling that it was Reddy, who served as President at a young age, first chief minister of united Andhra Pradesh and as Lok Sabha Speaker, Pranab described Neelam as a man with many records to his credit. "While, serving as Lok Sabha speaker, Reddy admitted a no-confidence motion and taken up for discussion for the first time on the same day as he believed that urgent matters should not be delayed by taking recourse to traditions and precedents," he said, adding that it was during the tenure of Reddy as speaker that for the first time in the history of the Lok Sabha, the House sentenced a person to imprisonment for contempt of the House by shouting slogans and throwing pamphlets on the floor of the House from visitor's gallery.
Quoting Reddy's message that Indians should work together to build independent India into a modern nation, Pranab said that the message was relevant even today. "They remind us of the important responsibility that we have as citizens of India and we must embrace the spirit of these guiding works as we pursue our individual goals," he said.

im looking to buy a 330i e46 01/02 (3L) model.the car will only be for track use and i was just wondering if it was possible to buy any aftermarket turbos /superchargers.if i can could you give me any names/links or info.Thanks,im relatively new so correct me on anything stupid ive said (if any).so far i have exhausts body kit,spoiler seats stripping out useless heavy stuff such as seats,light wheels air induction kit and maybe a rebuild.
Im only 16 and you can call it childish,i know i cant even drive the car and i probably wont,most likely my dad will.But im looking to be a mechanic,so my plan was to buy a car (a decent one) learn on it and how things work before i attempt any mods etc.then once i think im ready,learn how to take off parts and reinstall them,then try and fit mods.
So any Advice and general help is appreciated. Thanks.

Dear JP,
You have written code for estimating LA-AIDS in STATA using the variables and
equations as in the SAS example given
at http://support.sas.com/rnd/app/examples/ets/aids/index.htm. SAS
reports, after the parameter estimates for all the models in the
system, Parameter Restrictions Estimates (the results of the SRESTRICT
statements) which they say are "the Lagrangian parameter, λ, used to impose the
restriction" ( "λ measures the sensitivity of the system sum of square errors to
the restriction"). However, STATA does not report such estimates. Can you inform
what to do for obtaining these estimates in STATA?
Best regards,
Kashif Saeed.

Veterans Health Administration
Facebook Pages now Available for All 152 VA Medical Centers
Vets Now Able to Engage with VA at the Local Level
All of the 152 VA medical centers are now actively represented on Facebook, the world's largest social networking site.
"This event marks an important milestone in the overall effort to transform how VA communicates with Veterans and provide them the health care and benefits they have earned," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki.
VA now has over 150 Facebook pages, 64 Twitter feeds, a YouTube channel, a Flickr page, and the VAntage Point blog.
"Veterans of all eras are depending on us to get the right information to the right person at the right time," said Brandon Friedman, VA's director of online communications, and a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan.
"With more troops returning home, we also have a responsibility to connect with the thousands of service members who have been—and will be—entering our system. They're using social media, so that's where we need to be. Facebook helps us do that."
Private Health Information Stays Private
"We are very pleased to have pioneered social media in VA, and now our VA medical centers across the nation are all engaged," said Dr. Robert Petzel, under secretary for health. "We are committed to helping Veterans understand their benefits and receive the health care their service has earned them."
VA clinicians can't discuss the specific health concerns of individual Veterans on Facebook, but that doesn't prevent staff from monitoring VA's sites closely each day and providing helpful information to Veterans when they can. Last year, for instance, VA's Crisis Line counselors successfully intervened on Facebook in cases where Veterans have indicated suicidal thoughts or other emotional crises.
345,000 Fans and Growing
VA currently has over 345,000 combined Facebook subscribers (or, "fans"). The Department's main Facebook page has over 154,000 fans and its medical centers have a combined subscribership of over 69,000. The Department plans to continue expanding its Facebook presence while also focusing on bringing Twitter to every VA medical center as well.

Hi all,
I had a good look around for a shortcode generator plugin which automatically hooks into the default WYSIWYG editor.
It should be able to automatically generate the respective forms & popups to configure each shortcode.
Ideally, I am looking for something that can be configured via PHP like so (pseudo example):
$shortcodes[] = array( 'name' => 'Button', 'options' => array( 'color' => array( 'name' => 'Colour', 'type' => 'colorpicker', 'default' => '#fff' ), 'target' => array( 'name' => 'Target', 'type' => 'select', 'options' => array('_blank' => 'New Window', '_parent' => 'Parent', [...]), 'default' => '_blank' ) ) );
According to the above, a dropdown would be added to TinyMCE with labels for each shortcode; and, upon clicking it, a popup allows the user to add her/his options as per the configuration (much like SMOF – just for shortcodes). In practice, of course, this would be a bit more advanced to allow for nested shortcodes such as accordions and tab-panels.
Anyhow, I just thought I'd check in case somebody knows of a plugin like this. Otherwise, I will look into creating one from scratch.
Cheers, ClientEngage
- making the marketplaces responsive
- more, better analytics for authors
Off the top of my head:
- Taking a good, strong look at the ratings-functionality, reviews etc.: +1
- Someone mentioned DMCA Takedown Notice services: +1
- A proper, smart search facility: the current one feels a bit like
SELECT * FROM items WHERE title LIKE '%find this%'
- On the same token: more ways to drive item discovery through better search, etc.
Yaaay – first sale of the year!
Yahaaay – 1001 sales!
Fantastic, I look forward to it being rolled out w/c 16th December!
I am slightly concerned about the distinction between Themeforest and the other marketplaces on page 2 of the flowchart.
Surely, this would mean using any sort of trademark in titles on marketplaces other that Themeforest would be a violation – even if it is descriptive of the item's nature and purpose.
For example, 90% of items in CodeCanyon's WordPress plugins category come to mind as their nomenclature is "WordPress this" or "WordPress that". Plus, any item-titles including Facebook, Twitter, Google, [...], et cetera.
Then again, I may have misunderstood.
I'll be the next Featured Author on CodeCanyon – yahaaay!
Hello there,
I was wondering if there is any possibility of adding some granularity in setting PHP version requirements.
For example, my scripts require 5.2.8 – this means that someone with 5.2.6 will not be able to use my script. Yet I can only select 5.2 – 5.3. Hence, I am forced to always select 5.3+. This possibly leads to a situation where some potential buyers will stop even considering a script.
Anyway, just my two cents to put out there.
Best wishes, CE

Exposure metering is via the 2,016-pixel RGB pixel sensor used by the Nikon D610. While it would have been nice to have seen the more sophisticated 91,000-pixel 3D Matrix III metering sensor of the D4 and D80 (particularly when it comes to portraits, where there's a bias towards the face), it still delivers pleasing exposures.
Overall, then, the Df's metering is very strong but, as with other Nikon DSLRs that use this sensor, a little exposure compensation will be necessary, with backlit scenes requiring around -0.3EV to -0.7EV to retain highlight detail.
The Nikon D4 is widely regarded as the king of image noise and, happily, Df users will experience the same impressive results. Both raw and JPEG files at low sensitivities display pleasingly smooth and detailed results without any signs of image noise. At higher sensitivities – even ISO 6400 – both JPEG and raw files exhibit well-controlled noise levels. JPEGs show some luminance noise, but it's not to the detriment of the image and detail is still very good despite signs of in-camera noise processing.
Raw files display subtle examples of chroma (colour) noise also, but detail is just that bit better, while post-processing can tone-down the chroma noise. Even at ISO 25,600, results are more than acceptable, and while there is more image noise, it's not unsightly and detail is still good. It's only at 102,400 that it really becomes an issue, with chroma noise being quite pronounced along with a slight shift in colour. Nonetheless, in short, it's an excellent performance.
Auto white balance produces pleasing results straight out of camera, with nice and neutral looking images. As with other recent Nikon DSLRs there's a secondary Auto White Balance mode designed to retain the mode of the scene under artificial lighting that can sometimes look too neutral.
If at times this review seems a little harsh on the Df – particularly with regard to the build and handling – that's because hopes were so high. Nikon could have been a bit braver by making it a little smaller, while the finish should have been as premium as the price.
That said, it's a wonderful camera to shoot with. After all, it has the D4's sensor, noise control is excellent, there's a very good AF system and, ultimately, the photos it produces are superb.
However – and there's no getting away from this – for what it is the Df is a pricey piece of kit.
With the retro-inspired 50mm lens it'll set you back £2,749 – much cheaper than the D4, but considerably more than a D610 or D800 with that same, albeit not limited-edition, 50mm lens.
So, whether you should buy it ultimately depends on whether you've got the non-AI lenses to use on it so get more mileage for your money. And, of course, the price you put on nostalgia.
The Nikon Df is a fantastic DLSR in many respects, but it doesn't quite manage to re-imagine Nikon's classic SLRs in a way that we can recommend. If you want a full-frame Nikon, the D610 is a better choice.

I admit the retro design has its charm, but (much as with Leica's digital offerings) it seems to be targeting people who place far too much value on style nostalgia for my liking. I'll take a D800 and pocket the healthy chunk of change, thanks all the same.

Q: I see this camera uses a 16MP sensor, from the D4, so this must be a flagship sensor too.
A: No actually the sensors of the D610 and D800 are much better according to DxO
Q: Ah but this low res must allow this camera to shoot very fast, 10fps or better.
A: No, actually it shoots at 5.5fps slower than our D610
Q: Hmm, but it must have class leading shutter speed, 1/16000
A: No, actually it same as our entry level cameras at 1/4000
Q: Ummm, err, oh yeah, well it must have the flagship AF system right
A: No, actually it has same AF as D5300 and D610, middle of the road
Q: Ah, but it must have old school battery life and run forever out in the wilds
A: No, actually it has a very small battery with below average number of shots
Q: Well it must be very cheap then, cheaper than D610?
A: No, actually it is much dearer.
Q: Ok, then what is the point of this camera?
A: To get old farts to part with a lot of money to relive old time memories.
That must be me you are referring to. Someone who would prefer a Stradivarius to a Yamaha electric keyboard. Sadly Nikon have completely failed on every count and clearly do not understand the draw of classic camera controls over button covered electronic toys. On top of that there is the insulting price, must think we are fools.

"I use SQL Prompt whenever I write any SQL, simple or complex, because it's such a powerful programming aid. I no longer have to constantly look up or memorize obscure object names and SQL commands – instead, I can just browse for them."
"I am a consultant who specializes in backend systems. I normally spend about 50% of my day in SQL Server Management Studio. Since I started using SQL Prompt, I am at least 30% more productive. Even my clients are starting to notice. I honestly cannot comprehend how I managed to write Transact-SQL prior to this tool."

Nottinghamshire v Sussex:
Statistical Preview
Match Preview | 27th July 2012
After the disappointment of Wednesday evening's defeat in the t20 quarter finals Nottinghamshire return to LV= County Championship action when they face Sussex at Trent Bridge, from Friday.
The south coast side will travel to Nottingham in jubilant mood after they were victorious in their own quarter final clash, thanks to a sensational century from Scott Styris in their win over Gloucestershire.
Styris won't feature in the 4-day match as Australian Steve Magoffin occupies the overseas slot in the championship but Sussex will still arrive with a strong squad, intent on reversing the result of the clash at Hove earlier in the season.
On that occasion Notts were triumphant by 7 wickets, a success that owed much to a career-best innings of 199 from Riki Wessels. The opener featured in a stand of 171 for the first wicket with Alex Hales, the county's first hundred-plus stand for four years.
Zimbabwe-born batsman Murray Goodwin will eagerly be looking forward to his return to Trent Bridge. Sussex's experienced middle order batsman has a phenomenal record on the ground, which included an innings of 170 last September, as Notts ended their season with a crushing innings defeat.
Goodwin has played in eight first class matches at Trent Bridge and scored an amazing tally of 1,029 runs at an average of 102.9 His haul includes five centuries and a best of 203 not out, which came in 2001 as he and Richard Montgomerie (160 not out) put on an unbroken 372 for the first wicket.
In 2008 it was Goodwin who also snatched the Pro40 title from Nottinghamshire's grasp as he scored 87 not out from 64 balls as he and Mohammed Sami added 99 in the final eight overs of the match.
There have been 106 previous championship meetings between Notts and Sussex at Trent Bridge, with the home side holding a 44-20 advantage, with a further 42 matches being drawn.
The most recent win for the home side was in 2009 with Samit Patel taking the honours after returning figures of 6-84.
Their largest ever win in the fixture came way back in 1895 when they triumphed by an innings and 378 runs. There have been five Nottinghamshire double-hundreds recorded on home soil, with William Gunn doing it twice. The largest of those contributions came way back in 1897 when John Dixon made 268 not out – but the most recent was by Reg Simpson, who hit 216 in 1952.
In 1890 Notts scored 590, the largest team total put on here against Sussex, whilst the lowest was 46 in 1902.
The visitor's highest team score in Nottingham is the 562 they scored in 1959, whilst in the drawn 1979 contest Riki Wessels' father, Kepler scored exactly 100 in the Sussex second innings.
Nottinghamshire go into this weeks match still unbeaten in Division One and in second place, just one point behind Warwickshire. Sussex, who scraped a narrow 2-wicket success over Durham in their last match, lie fourth on 103 points, 21 behind Notts.
A couple of milestones to look out for this week: Samit Patel has taken 148 first class wickets and Adam Voges has batted 199 times in first class cricket.
Dave Bracegirdle provides ball-by-ball commentary on all of Nottinghamshire's LV= County Championship matches on behalf of BBC Radio Nottingham.

EU: euroskeptics gained votes
Anti-European Union and far-right parties posted strong gains in elections to the European Parliament in some countries on Sunday, repots Wall Street Journal. This means that more and more Europeans are against economic austerity.
The early results show that the euroskeptic parties won the biggest share of the vote in France (25%), the UK, Greece and Denmark. Centrist, pro-European parties are still expected to hold a broad majority of the 751 seats in the new Parliament, which decides on EU laws together with national governments. However, anti-EU lawmakers could complicate passing measures on which mainstream parties are divided, including a planned free-trade deal with the US.
ANZ Bank New Zealand: "These results represent a shot across the bows of governments across Europe, who will be forced to take note and appease dissatisfied voters if they want to stand a chance of re-election down the track. Our view is that Europe's debt and structural problems have been papered over, not resolved, and that a further bout of financial volatility is probably just a question of when."
Danske Bank: "While there might be some short-term 'noise' from the outcome of the EU-election, the impact on the markets is likely to be limited as attention turns to the upcoming ECB meeting. The market reaction so far this morning has also been very limited with EUR/USD only moving marginally lower".

One word: nostalgia. The strength of that feeling grows as we get older. So it was astounding the rush that flooded over many of the audience members in the Palladium, considering they were mostly in their later-20s and haven't fully encountered yet the memory pangs that come with age, though maybe they are suddenly getting their first fulltime jobs and moving on from college or out of their parents homes.
Jimmy Eat World hit the height of their popularity in the early aughts when many of the audience were either just leaving middle school or peaking their high school years, and the band tapped straight into that time in the crowd's life. The show was designed to transport these millennials to a simpler time, from frontman Jim Adkin's perfectly messy emo bangs that he flipped with the precision that comes from years of practice, to all the band members' not-quite skinny jeans, to the fact that even the newer songs off the recently released Damage (RCA) still contain the pop punk sensibilities of earlier Jimmy Eat World Tracks which set people jumping in a joyous tizzy.

Salammbo HTML version
The moon was rising just above the waves, and on the town which was still
wrapped in darkness there glittered white and luminous specks:—the pole of a
chariot, a dangling rag of linen, the corner of a wall, or a golden necklace on the
bosom of a god. The glass balls on the roofs of the temples beamed like great
diamonds here and there. But ill-defined ruins, piles of black earth, and gardens
formed deeper masses in the gloom, and below Malqua fishermen's nets
stretched from one house to another like gigantic bats spreading their wings. The
grinding of the hydraulic wheels which conveyed water to the highest storys of
the palaces, was no longer heard; and the camels, lying ostrich fashion on their
stomachs, rested peacefully in the middle of the terraces. The porters were
asleep in the streets on the thresholds of the houses; the shadows of the
colossuses stretched across the deserted squares; occasionally in the distance
the smoke of a still burning sacrifice would escape through the bronze tiling, and
the heavy breeze would waft the odours of aromatics blended with the scent of
the sea and the exhalation from the sun-heated walls. The motionless waves
shone around Carthage, for the moon was spreading her light at once upon the
mountain-circled gulf and upon the lake of Tunis, where flamingoes formed long
rose-coloured lines amid the banks of sand, while further on beneath the
catacombs the great salt lagoon shimmered like a piece of silver. The blue vault
of heaven sank on the horizon in one direction into the dustiness of the plains,
and in the other into the mists of the sea, and on the summit of the Acropolis, the
pyramidal cypress trees, fringing the temple of Eschmoun, swayed murmuring
like the regular waves that beat slowly along the mole beneath the ramparts.
Salammbo ascended to the terrace of her palace, supported by a female slave
who carried an iron dish filled with live coals.
In the middle of the terrace there was a small ivory bed covered with lynx skins,
and cushions made with the feathers of the parrot, a fatidical animal consecrated
to the gods; and at the four corners rose four long perfuming-pans filled with
nard, incense, cinnamomum, and myrrh. The slave lit the perfumes. Salammbo
looked at the polar star; she slowly saluted the four points of heaven, and knelt
down on the ground in the azure dust which was strewn with golden stars in
imitation of the firmament. Then with both elbows against her sides, her fore-
arms straight and her hands open, she threw back her head beneath the rays of
the moon, and said:
"O Rabetna!—Baalet!—Tanith!" and her voice was lengthened in a plaintive
fashion as if calling to some one. "Anaitis! Astarte! Derceto! Astoreth! Mylitta!
Athara! Elissa! Tiratha!—By the hidden symbols, by the resounding sistra,—by
the furrows of the earth,—by the eternal silence and by the eternal fruitfulness,—
mistress of the gloomy sea and of the azure shores, O Queen of the watery
world, all hail!"
She swayed her whole body twice or thrice, and then cast herself face
downwards in the dust with both arms outstretched.

Make a tactical change
By Liz Owen
Villa Ladies fell to a painful 3-0 home defeat to Sunderland Ladies - and boss Ron Mellor must be at a loss as to how his side didn't find the back of the net.
Mellor named an unchanged side as Villa looked to build on last week's draw at Watford Ladies, but a Bethany Mead double and a late Abbey Joice effort sealed all three points for Sunderland.
Although Villa have only taken one point from three games, the girls have improved steadily in each performance and their attacking display certainly warranted more.
Mead's first came in unfortunate circumstances for Villa as she took advantage of a slight back-four mix-up to send the ball past Caitlin Leach from a few yards out after nine minutes.
And the England international notched a brace just five minutes before half-time as she wriggled in between Villa's centre-halves to fight and scrap for the right to turn home Victoria Greenwell's left-sided cross.
Sunderland's third was even crueller - they capitalised on a loose ball as Villa pushed forward and Joice fired home from the edge of the area after 88 minutes.
The Black Cats had enjoyed some early pressure but, apart from their small periods of possession, Villa were firmly in charge, particularly after the interval.
A first-half Greenwell cross, this time from a corner, was almost capitalised on by Rachel Furness, but the midfielder fouled Leach as she attempted to find the net.
Both Mead and Keira Ramshaw stroked the post with narrow efforts for Sunderland but they were the visitors' best early chances as Villa continued their attacking guile from last week.
And out of all of their opportunities up front, two in particular stood out for the hosts.
While only one goal down, Carly Davies came agonisingly close after 26 minutes following good work from the superb Beth Merrick down the left.
The striker ran on to Merrick's cross and, as Rachel Laws rushed off her line to challenge her, chipped a lobbed shot over the oncoming 'keeper.
It was brilliantly crafted but unfortunately too high to find the net as it just evaded the crossbar.
Later on, Villa somehow came even closer to scoring - a goal which could potentially have inspired a late, late fightback.
Substitute Olivia Fergusson, who was introduced in place of Davies after 72 minutes, forced a last-gasp clearance from Greenwell 10 minutes from the end, leaving a few fans wondering whether the ball could actually have crossed the line.
The striker was tackled as she pulled the trigger but a slight deflection sent the ball trickling towards the empty net.
Fortunately for the visitors, left-back Greenwell scrambled it clear just as it touched the white line - much to the disbelief of the surrounding claret and blue shirts.
Davies and Alicia Robinson linked up well throughout as Villa enjoyed a good deal of possession with which to attack.
One of their moves set up Sherry McCue in the 36th minute to make a cross from the right, but the midfielder was unlucky to see her efforts fall out of play.
Earlier, Robinson had sent a precise header into Davies' path, but the assistant referee raised her flag for offside.
Jade Richards and Dani Petrovic were quick to put in a block or two in defence and also had a good chance each at the other end of the field.
Just two minutes before the interval, Richards charged down the pitch to unleash a long-range strike, and in the second half nearly finished off a move she had created herself after almost turning in Chloe Jones' cross.
Meanwhile, Petrovic came close with a diving header from another pinpoint ball in from Jones.
Sunderland were restricted to a lone Mead effort as the first half came to a close and the Villa Ladies really upped the tempo after the interval.
Leach denied Mead after a well-taken Joice throughball after 51 minutes but, from then on, Villa dominated proceedings.
Davies and Robinson forced a double-block from Sunderland's defence following a Jones corner, while Gemma Wilson was quick to get rid of a threatening Lauren Walker cross with Davies breathing down her neck.
Sarah Mayling was introduced for Merrick on the hour mark, while Sunderland replaced Rebekah Bass with Emma Kelly three minutes later.
And the latter stages of the second half saw Villa attack after Villa attack.
The girls were on fire and showed fantastic resolve in trying to find that elusive goal.
Laws found herself under constant pressure, particularly from chances by Moran, Fergusson and Mayling as Villa crosses flew into the area and shots were fired wide, before Sunderland had the final say through Joice.
Ultimately, some valiant defending and the clinical Mead claimed the points for Sunderland, but the scoreline doesn't tell the full story and Villa can certainly be optimistic heading into next week's Continental Cup double.
