Inside the Sochi Games: Your television guide to Olympics viewing
You will watch because you always watch. This is the only confident prediction regarding the Sochi Games. The Vancouver Olympics drew 190 million television viewers four years ago, confirming once again how our collective remote always points to televised games when national sporting pride is at stake. So you will watch these Olympics, but the draw for Sochi goes beyond potential athletic achievements. The steady drumbeat of distressing news out of Russia, from corruption to terrorism threats to gay rights issues, has made the run-up to these Games compelling in a joyless way.
NBCUniversal, naturally, has attempted to present Sochi in the best possible light because they have a lot invested in the product. The company shelled out about $775 million for the U.S. television rights for these games and the Olympics are always an essential driver to promote NBC's morning, primetime and late-night programming as well NBC's cable networks. How much Olympics will NBC air? The networks of NBC -- and its online offerings -- will telecast 1,539 hours of programming from Sochi, more than the total for Vancouver and Torino combined
"Our plan is pretty straightforward: We're going to deliver the most comprehensive coverage the Winter Olympics have ever had," said NBC Sports Group chairman Mark Lazarus.
The breakdown between platforms is as follows: NBC (185 hours), NBCSN (230), MSNBC (45), USA Network (43), CNBC (36) and NBCOlympics.com (1,000 hours online). During the 18 days of the coverage (Feb. 6-23), NBCUniversal will average 85 hours of coverage daily. So good luck sleeping, Ringheads.
Since you're going to need some help navigating through the coverage, we're here to offer this Q&A primer below:
I've heard NBC will be airing events prior to the opening ceremony. Is that true?
Indeed, it is. NBC's primetime coverage of the Sochi Games starts Thursday, Feb. 6 with the debut of snowboard slopestyle (men's and women's), in which two-time gold medalist Shaun White is expected to compete. It's also the debut of team figure skating (the men's short program and pairs short program). Women's moguls will also be shown. The Opening Ceremony then comes the next night.
NBC obviously has the ability to turn an Olympic athlete into a megastar off a great performance. Who does the network have its eye on?
Alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin, just 18, has been dubbed by some as the Mozart of ski racing, and NBC desperately wants someone to follow in the footsteps of Lindsey Vonn. Shiffrin is telegenic and the best slalom skier in the world, so I'd expect to see a lot of her. I'd also look for NBC to absolutely squeeze as much airtime as humanly possible out of Lolo Jones, who was given the third and final brakeman spot on the U.S women's bobsled team.
Speedskater Shani Davis, alpine skier Bode Miller and snowboarder Shaun White and -- all returning gold medalists -- will also get a lot of attention. Davis and White are attempting to become the first American men to win titles in the same event at three Olympic Winter Games after earning gold in Turin and Vancouver.
Will every event air live on television?
No. But every event will be available live online for the first time for a Winter Games. Events will be streamed live on NBCOlympics.com and via the NBC Sports Live Extra mobile app (iPhone/iPad/Android). The vast majority of live streaming will only be available to authenticated cable, satellite or telco customers. One important note: The Opening Ceremony will not be streamed online.
Say I want to watch an event on streaming video but I cannot watch it live. Is there some kind of archive after they first air?
NBC says they will restart all of the online feeds for early morning events (U.S. time) each day at 3:00 p.m. ET. That would give people a second opportunity to watch those feeds that are no longer live. After those events run in prime time, the event will be sliced up into highlight form and be available on demand.
The news out of Russia has been awful, from terrorism to gay rights issues. How will NBC Sports handle news coming out of these Games?
The network is talking like a responsible news-gathering entity. We shall see. "We have spent a lot of time thinking about how we're going to cover the news," said Lazarus. "Our partnership with NBC News makes this pretty easy and also a balancing act on how we're going to work. We will cover any social or political issues as they are relevant to the Games from a sports perspective. NBC News will be there in full force with all of its journalists and all of its shows to cover news items. We've been doing this on an ongoing basis, whether it's related to security, or as you've already seen, as it relates to the LGBT situation that is in Russia."
What kind of images can you expect to see from Sochi?
"It's really more about the mountains and the ice and the snow necessarily than the city," said NBC Olympics executive producer Jim Bell. "The Caucasus Mountains look spectacular, and the coastal cluster nestled there along the Black Sea is visually stunning. So I think Sochi is going to play just fine on television."
So what are the new events debuting in Sochi?
There are 12 new events and a quick primer on each can be found here thanks to my colleague Brian Cazeneuve. There will be 98 gold medals awarded in Sochi.
Figure skating is always one of the most popular events during a Winter Olympics. What do I need to know to watch?
All the figure skating will air live on cable during the day (Eastern Time), with the key performances airing on tape delay on NBC as they have done in previous Olympics. NBCSN is the designated figure skating channel and coverage will begin the morning of Feb. 8 with the team event. The AP reported a separate announcing team will call the live broadcasts on NBCSN, with Olympians Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir providing commentary.
What is the one channel outside of NBC I should keep my eye on?
NBCSN will show 230 total hours of coverage across multiple sports from Sochi, a record for a cable channel. This is the channel with the most comprehensive coverage during the day including complete, live coverage of figure skating. It will also air 16 men's hockey games through the bronze-medal round, including the men's hockey game between the U.S. and Russia on Feb. 15. NBCSN will also have the U.S. and Canada women's hockey game on Feb. 12 and live gold-medal coverage of events in bobsled (Lolo Jones, alert), Nordic combined, cross-country skiing, speedskating and ski jumping. NBCSN will air at least one gold medal final live each day through its 16 days of coverage. Live coverage on NBCSN will begin at 3 a.m. ET and continue for 12 hours on most days.
Give us five must-watch events for the Sochi Games?
No problem.
Sunday, Feb. 9: Men's Downhill (The competition will air tape-delayed between 7-11 p.m. EST on NBC, but you can watch live online at 2 a.m. EST).
Saturday, Feb. 15: Men's Hockey: (U.S. vs. Russia, 7:30 a.m. EST, NBCSN).
Tuesday, Feb 17: Ice dancing free skate, 10 a.m. EST, NBCSN. (U.S. skaters and world champions Meryl Davis and Charlie White battle Vancouver gold medalists Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada.)
Thursday. Feb. 20: Women's Hockey Gold Medal Game (noon-3 PM ET, NBC). This game will air live in all US Time Zones.
Sunday, Feb. 23: Men's Hockey Gold Medal Game (6:30-10 am ET, NBC). This game will air live across all US Time Zones.
How did Team USA do at the last Winter Olympics?
The U.S. won 37 overall medals -- nine gold, 15 silver and 13 bronze. That's also the number of overall medals won by NBC's 84 Olympic commentators (10 gold, 15 silver and 12 bronze) .
I've read there is some sort of Red Zone-like Channel?
That would be Gold Zone, which is a streaming channel on NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports Live Extra app. [To get Gold Zone, you must be an authenticated cable, satellite, and telco subscribers and register via NBCOlympics.com] The channel will provide more than 100 hours of hosted whip-around coverage of the most popular live action from the Sochi Games. It will stream 7 a.m.-3 p.m. ET on most days (For more info, check out the Sports Video Group writeup of it). "We are stealing a little bit of what the Red Zone is for the NFL, a whip-around show bringing you from event to event, live look-ins and analysis," said Rick Cordella, the general manager of digital media for the NBC Sports Group. "It's serving the fan that doesn't necessarily know where to go. It's saying, 'This is important now, take a look what's happening.'"
The Gold Zone hosts are Andrew Siciliano (who is the host of DirecTV's NFL RedZone channel) and Ryan Burr of The Golf Channel. There's also Olympic Ice, a 30-minute online program featuring highlights and analysis of figure skating will run on days figure skating occurs, each day around 5:30 p.m. ET. Gold medalist Sarah Hughes will serve as an analyst on it, with host Russ Thaler.
How many employees will NBC have in Sochi?
The network will have 2,300 accredited people in Sochi, with most leaving this week for the Games.
How confident is NBC about the security of its employees?
"We have never seen the type of security that we are now seeing in Russia at any prior Olympic Games in terms of the credentialing, surveillance, and amount of resources that have been committed to this area," said NBC Olympics president Gary Zenkel, who will work his tenth Olympics with Sochi.
Which broadcasters will I see the most during the Sochi Games?
Olympic warhorse Bob Costas will serve as both NBC's primetime and late night host given the time difference (Sochi is nine hours ahead of the Eastern Time Zone in the U.S.). This is the 10th time Costas has hosted Olympic primetime coverage, a record for U.S. broadcasters. Al Michaels will host the daytime show on NBCSN (weekdays) and NBC (weekends). Dan Patrick and Rebecca Lowe will host NBCSN's daytime weekday and weekend coverage. NBC News anchor Lester Holt will host NBC's weekday daytime coverage. Olympic correspondents Ato Boldon, Mary Carillo and Cris Collinsworth will also get plenty of airtime.
What are the most watched Winter Olympics in history and will these Games top them?
The 1994 Lillehammer Games (aired by CBS) was watched by 204 million people thanks to Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan. The Vancouver Olympics ranks second with 190 million total viewers. I think these Olympics will top Vancouver but not Lillehammer.
Yo, media writer guy? You are going to Sochi, right? But I hear you won't be covering media.
This is mostly correct. I'll once again be writing SI.com's Olympic Daily Briefing as I've done for the last couple of Olympics as well as dropping some words on speedskating. But I promise at least one media piece on NBC during the coverage, so stay tuned and thanks as always for reading.
The Noise Report
(SI.com examines some of the more notable sports media stories of the past week.)
1. Last week Fox's producers offered an extended explanation of why they cut short the interview with Richard Sherman. My SI.com story on that is here. I also followed up with Fox's Richie Zyontz, the producer of the NFC Championship game, a couple of days later to see if he remained confident that he made the correct decision. "I haven't felt as good about anything since the Mets won the World Series in 1986," Zyontz said.
1a. Westwood One and TNT broadcaster Kevin Harlan was highly critical of how Andrews conducted the Sherman interview.
1b. Fox Sports producers Mark Potter and Jeremy Berg got some little kids to re-enact the Andrews-Sherman interview. It is pretty funny.
1c. The AP's Rachel Cohen on how NFL networks are making audio a key part of their broadcasts.
1d. Last week Fox Sports paneled a group of Seahawks fans together and offered them $5,000 if they could stay quiet for the entire NFC Championship. The network taped the experiment and it was pretty great.
2. What are the Super Bowl's biggest storylines? Is Media Day a good idea? Who will be the most quotable Bronco? I held an email roundtable with a group of reporters who have covered nearly 70 Super Bowls between them: Mike Klis (Denver Post), Shalise Manza Young (Boston Globe) Jeff McLane (Philadelphia Inquirer), Armando Salguero (Miami Herald), and Ed Werder (ESPN).
3. Each pro football-airing network will have a small army in New York and New Jersey for Super Bowl-related programming this week. For those interested, here's the complete list of events and commentators:
3a. Westwood One will have live radio coverage of the Super Bowl, with Harlan doing the play-by-play for the fourth straight year and Boomer Esiason serving as the color analyst for his 14th consecutive year. The sideline reporters are Mark Malone and James Lofton. Jim Gray will anchor the pregame and halftime coverage, with appearances by Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and Rod Woodson
4. One of the most challenging sports media jobs during Super Bowl Week are the sports-talk radio producers who have to wrangle guests to fill hours of airtime. I recently held an email roundtable with three producers of national radio shows (Kyle Brandt, executive producer of The Jim Rome Show on CBS Sports Radio; Todd Fritz, executive producer of The Dan Patrick Show and Liam Chapman, a producer for ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike) to offer insight into how crazy Super Bowl week is for a national radio show. (For all you Luddites: Paul Pabst, Fritz's colleague, said Fritz keeps all of his contact numbers either on a notebook or in his head; He does not trust computers).
What is your booking philosophy for Super Bowl Week?
Brandt: Come one, come all. The most fun part of Radio Row is the grab bag factor. Cam Newton will sit down across from Jim right as Vanilla Ice is leaving, and then the second he's done, Joe Montana shows up. It's bedlam. This year it's like, "Can we squeeze Jesse Pinkman [Aaron Paul] in between Ronnie Lott and Randall Cobb?" Hell, yes, we can. The other thing that's huge is letting guests pitch their products. Because everybody is pitching something. We don't do much of that during the rest of the year, but for Super Bowl Week if a guest will hang out and talk football for 10 minutes, we'll talk about their soda or soup for one minute. One year in consecutive segments we got ice cream sandwiches from Tim Brown, avocados from Shannon Sharpe, and smoothies from Bill Romanowski. It's part of the fun. There are so many goods and products showing up, by the end of three hours, our stage looks like a Doomsday Bunker.
Chapman: To get the biggest names in football on the show not in terms of quantity but in terms of quality. Over the years we have made the decision to go with less guests and set the bar very high as to who we want to join us Super Bowl Week. This year we've changed up our thinking slightly; you will still see the biggest names in football on the show but we're also going for more entertainers to give this year a different feel than the same football guests that will appear on every other show throughout the week.
Fritz: I'm trying to determine who will be in town -- and prioritizing who we're most interested in having on set with us.
How difficult or easy is the process to land people?
Brandt: It's easy to land guests, but it's tricky to land good guests. My favorite bookings are the ones we do on the fly. We'll be in commercial and Jim will say, "Hey I think I just saw Ricky Watters walk by. We go way back. See if he wants to come on." Then five minutes later we're talking '90s Eagles and Super Bowl XXIX. It's the only time of year you can be that spontaneous with booking.
Chapman: Over the years I've managed to build good relationships with networks/agents/clients etc ... so once you have made the initial contact, it's funny how you really do work with the same people year in and year out when booking guests. Obviously we have a big platform and guests want to come on the show so a lot of the time guests are pitched to me, which doesn't hurt.
Fritz: It's challenging because no matter how far in advance you try to secure appropriate guests, they or their representation/handlers often don't know if they will be in town or what their exact schedules look like until days before Super Bowl Week. You also have to factor in things like where you're broadcasting from in relation to where most of the prospective guests might be, traffic on the roads, and schedules that can change by the minute.
Roughly how many guests will you book during Super Bowl week?
Brandt: During a normal week we do about 15. Super Bowl Week we'll do two or three dozen. Most shows don't do the entire week on Radio Row, so Monday and Tuesday it's pretty barren. Then around Wednesday, the floodgates open. It turns into "Knucklehead Alley" and we book 12 guests for 12 segments. I've had to turn away a Hall of Famer because his time window was already committed.
Chapman: Right now we have 26 guests locked in. As I mentioned, in years past, we would go wall-to-wall guests on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, which would have us at around 40 to 50 guests. But we're aiming for less guests and more Mike and Mike this time.
Fritz: We really look for quality, not quantity, when it comes to guests. Ideally, it would work well to have at least one on-site guest each hour but we'll modify that as the week progresses based on news of the day and who we learn is available on short notice that we'd enjoy having join us.
Who would be your dream get during Super Bowl Week and why?
Brandt: There are not a ton of people Jim hasn't done over the years, but he and I were just talking the other day about how we'd love to get Arnold Schwarzenegger into The Jungle. I think he's the only person to have the athlete/major movie star/politician trifecta. And his voice is perfect for the air. When I saw Arnie in his Super Bowl commercial, I was hoping he'd make it to Radio Row. He could probably fill an entire hour just with stories from the set of Predator.
Chapman: The dream get this week is obviously Peyton Manning. That's a tough one that we're working on it but if it doesn't work, we've got Archie and Eli coming. Really, the dream gets are the ones who never do any interviews or the big newsmaker when there is a breaking news story. Any time you get that "A" guest it's a good feeling for everyone on the show.
Fritz: Michael Jordan? President Obama? Adriana Lima? Jennifer Love Hewitt?
5. Asked whether they had any impact on Lolo Jones being named to the U.S. Boblsed Team for Sochi, NBC Olympics executives fired off some multisyllabic words.
6. Michelle Beadle will officially leave NBC Sports in March. Her next stop appears to be ESPN.
7. Sports stories of note this week:
• Grantland's Rembert Browne on Richard Sherman and the thug athlete narrative.
• The New York Times' Sarah Lyall on Celebrity row at New York Knicks games.
• National Post columnist Bruce Arthur, on rooting for an Iron Fist from Russia.
• Deadspin examined the use of the word thug on television. Not surprisingly, ESPN2's unctuous First Take ranked high among sports shows.
• Via The Nation: How Serious Is The Terror Threat At The Sochi Olympics.
• New York Times' Steven Lee Meyers on Putin's Olympic fever.
• Jeff Pearlman interviews sports writer Chuck Culpepper.
• ESPN.com's Ian O'Connor on Vince Lombardi's high school coaching legacy.
Non-sports pieces of note:
• Grantland had an oral history of the film Swingers.
• Eagle Scout. Idealist. Drug Trafficker? Fascinating piece by the New York Times on a drug hub known as Silk Road.
• Via The Washingtonian: Daniel Pearl's Last Story.
• A lawyer, a partner and also bankrupt.
• Last Man Fighting: Another brilliant obit from The Economist.
• New York Times political reporter Amy Chozick had a well-reported profile of Hillary Clinton.
8. An example of how hard it is for a fledgling sports network to knock off ESPN: The most-viewed college basketball game that' aired since the start of the current season is ESPN's Michigan State-Kentucky broadcast on Nov. 12, 2013 -- the game drew 4,002,020 viewers. Fox Sports 1's most-viewed college basketball game for this season came on Dec. 1 with Kentucky-Providence, a game that drew 360,413 viewers. Furthermore, ESPN's least-viewed game this season (George Washington-Marquette) beat FS1's most-viewed game by 49,781 viewers.
9. NFL Network national reporter Albert Breer was not listed on any of the network's press information regarding its Super Bowl coverage, a curious absence given the Super Bowl is the biggest event on the NFL calendar. Said an NFL Network spokesperson: ""Albert is on a temporary leave of absence from NFL Media." When contacted by SI.com on Friday, Breer said that it was a personal matter and he hoped to be working back soon.
10. Love this GIF (from Chris Fogler) of Rafael Nadal pumping himself up.
10a. Premier League fans: NBC Sports Network will air a "Transfer Deadline Day Special" on Friday at 6:30 p.m. Steve Bower will make his NBCSN Premier League debut as host as Rebecca Lowe heads to Sochi for Olympic coverage.
10b. Chelsea's victory over Manchester United last Sunday, averaged 1.019 million viewers on NBCSN, just missing the Premier League U.S. cable record (1.033 million for the "Manchester Derby" on ESPN on April 30, 2012).
10c. Here's the NFL season in 160 seconds, produced by ESPN's NFL social media team and voiced by Trey Wingo.
10d. CBS Sports will broadcast 22 golf tournaments this year, including the Masters, PGA Championship, 20 PGA Tour events and eight golf specials.
10e. Nice work by ESPN's Tom Rinaldi and Co. on the Roger Federer-Rafa Nadal rivalry.

José Gregorio Hernández

Dr. José Gregorio Hernández, MD, OFS [er-NAHN-des] (October 26, 1864 - June 29, 1919) was a Venezuelan physician. Born in Isnotú, Trujillo State, Venezuela, he went on to reach legendary status, more so after his death.[1]
In 1888 Hernández graduated as a medical doctor at Universidad Central de Venezuela, in Caracas. The Venezuelan government awarded him a grant to continue his studies in Europe. Hernández traveled to Paris, France, where he studied other fields of medicine such as: bacteriology, pathology, microbiology, histology, and physiology. Following his return to Venezuela, he became a leading doctor at the Hospital José María Vargas.
Between 1891 and 1916, Hernández dedicated himself to teaching, medicine, and religious practice. He sought priesthood in two occasions, but his fragile physical conditions would ultimately prevent him from achieving that status. He studied at the Monastery of Lucca in Italy for ten months in 1908. In 1913, he enrolled at the Latin American Pío School of Rome to continue the priestly career, but had to return to Venezuela for health reasons. Among the scientific publications of this famous Venezuelan are The Elements of Bacteriology (1906), About the Angina Pectoris of Malaric Origin (1909) and The Elements of Philosophy (1912).
Dr. Hernández treated the poor for free and even bought them medicines with his own money. One day in 1919, while bringing medicine to the home of one of his patients in Caracas, Hernández was struck by a car and killed.
After his life, the legend of Dr. Hernández began to grow in Venezuela. People around the country started claiming to have been granted miracles after praying for his intercession to God.[1][2] At present, Dr. Hernandez is commonly invoked as "José Gregorio" by both doctors and patients for healing purposes.He is also called upon for protection during overland journeys. Eventually, his name became known all over Latin America and Spain.
In 1949, Venezuelan Catholic Church officials began the process of determining whether or not Dr. Hernández is eligible for sainthood as defined in the Roman Catholic Church. The Vatican granted him the title of Venerable in 1985. The next step in the process for Dr. Hernández is that of beatification;[3] Pope Francis accepted a visit to Venezuela by President Nicolás Maduro and intended to beatify Hernández.[4] His remains are housed in La Candelaria Catholic Church in Caracas, Venezuela.[5]
He is, also, revered by Venezuela's alternative and syncretic religion the Cult of Maria Lionza.[2][6] Historian Steven Palmer also has drawn parallels between the Hernández cult and that of the assassinated Costa Rican physician and politician Ricardo Moreno Cañas.[7]
A private university in Maracaibo, Universidad Dr. José Gregorio Hernández (launched in 2003), is named for him.[8] In 2008 he was honoured with the naming of a Bolivarian Mission, Misión Dr. José Gregorio Hernández, dedicated to the health of Venezuelans with disabilities.[9] In 2011, Hernández' birthday, October 26, was declared a "day of national celebration".[10] On August 26, 2014, the Catholic Bishops Conference of Venezuela called on all Catholics to attend Mass and thank God "for the life and example of this great Venezuelan, with great hope and implore the grace of his speedy beatification" on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Hernandez' birth (Sunday, October 26, 2014).[11]

In the specialist clinics MADU PhD. med. Dusanka Mandic which applies non-invasive treatment of bone-joint system and circulation MADU method - approved a new health technology in medicine, based on the natural type of magnetism is open SALT ROOM - HALOTHERAPY is recommended both kids and adults. SALT ROOM Salt room is an imitation of a natural salt cave (coated with salt on all sides - about 2.5 tons of rock salt) which is a healing microclimate. Additional dosage blowing finest particles of rock salt therapeutic effects may be increased for certain diseases. The air in the salt room is the present excess of negative ions, which provides relaxation and stress reduction. The presence of microparticles of salt in the salt room air prevents the growth of bacteria, viruses and fungi. Besides the medicinal effects of pure rock salt in it are trace elements that also exhibit their therapeutic effects (iron, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, selenium, lithium) penetrating deep into the bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli. Constant grinding of rock salt in the treatment and blowing salt microparticles can be achieved by significantly higher concentrations of beneficial negative ions than in natural conditions. Ionized air with an excess of negative ions has a positive effect on human nervous system leading to its relaxation, psycho-physical balance, improved concentration and work capacity. Dry salt aerosol has antibacterial properties, and the dilution facilitates the expulsion of secretions, has anti-inflammatory properties, reduces inflammation throughout the respiratory tract, reducing the island of mucosa lining the airways, which they immediately proširujušto facilitates breathing. Enables normal transport of mucus, lighter and faster evacuation of secretions from the sinuses and respiratory system and the elimination of remnants of mucus and blocks the natural process.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – Presented by the Wittenberg Guild, the 51st annual Scholarship Style Show takes place Saturday, Nov. 4, at the Courtyard by Marriott- Springfield Downtown. Chaired by Suzanne Woeber, the event begins with a joint social hour and silent basket auction at 10 a.m.
The themed baskets are donated by members and friends of the guild. A one-week stay at a vacation home in Lake Lure, N.C., a "dream home" featured on HGTV, will be auctioned off as well.
The luncheon and style show begins at 11:30 a.m. Local volunteer models will don clothing from Macy's at Tuttle Crossing, complemented with jewelry from Goldesign. The theme of the show is "New Beginnings," and Lynn Jacques of Macy's will narrate.
"The 'New Beginnings' refers to the emphasis through our new strategic plan on integrating Wittenberg more fully into the Springfield community and forging new ties with that community for the betterment of both," said Linda Himes, coordinator for advancement and university liaison to the guild. "We want the guild to be part of relationship-building in the local community."

Now the yellow jackets and bald(black) faced wasps, that is a different story. But like everything else, those were northern problems. Seems even the wasps are more mellow down here. Probably not such a rush to get things done before winter, that makes people nasty too.

Software That Takes The Dread Out Of Derivatives
In today's financial markets, banks, securities firms, and others are constantly coming up with complex new financial instruments, such as option swaps, mortgage-backed securities, and other so-called derivatives. One problem with derivatives is that complex software is needed to predict their future behavior and determine their value. Using standard methods, that software may take months to develop, by which time it's probably too late to be of any use.
To help, a Palo Alto (Calif.) company called C.ATS Software Inc. has come out with a scheme that creates new software for virtually any type of derivative in a matter of minutes. Called Financial Computer-Aided Design (FiCAD), it's based on a set of prefabricated software modules, called objects, that a developer using an engineering workstation can string together visually to do exactly what's needed. The objects embody frequently used financial calculations but can, through a series of menus and fill-in blanks, be individually tailored. C.ATS officials say that no traditional programming is required and that the finished programs can easily be modified.

The future of UI
What is the future of the graphical user interface (GUI) when every action that we want is voice activated?
Apple implemented voice control for calling and listening to music. Google has just announced voice control for a whole raft of actions including:
- search
- text (no more thumb typing)
- call
- navigate to
- listen to (especially cool because it can automatically start a Pandora channel or open lastFM)
And they are promising many more to come.
Voice recognition isn't new, but we know that sometimes all it takes is the an elegant execution of an old idea to make the next new thing. This is something that Apple is amazing at. But Google's mobile search is now being called from voice commands 25% of the time. That is a huge shift in the way people interact with search (one of the most popular computer actions).
Google's new voice commands work by recording and streaming your command to the cloud where Google's computers parse your command, figure out what you want, and return a command to make the phone complete your action. This is notable because they are essentially turning your mobile into a super computer, by offloading the hardest processing to the cloud.
All this science fiction makes me wonder - if (or when) voice commands become the new way to interact with a computer, where does this leave the GUI? Because if we follow this trajectory to its logical conclusion, we will no longer need the GUI for many of the most common actions on a mobile device. All we need the visual interface for is confirmation that the voice command is being performed properly.
If Google does this properly and allows apps and mobile Web sites to hook into its speech command API, any developer could potentially design an app to be voice activated.
Will Google or Apple pull it off? Is the time right for voice activation? When forced to use a keyboard will we soon say "How quaint."

New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils Eastern Conference Finals Game 4 2012 NHL Playoff Odds
The New Jersey Devils look to tie the best of seven Eastern Conference finals tonight, Monday May 21st, as they get set to host the New York Rangers, who have a 2-1 lead. The Blueshirts have dominated the postseason history against the Devils, winning four of the five all-time playoff series between the clubs. NHL oddsmakers have installed the Devils as -120 moneyline home favorites over the Rangers (+100) with the over/under set at 4.5 goals. Be sure to check the New York Rangers vs New Jersey Devils Western Conference Finals Game 4 2012 NHL Playoff Odds before they drop the puck.
New York (10-7, 4-3 V) got three third-period goals in a 3-0 victory over New Jersey in Game 3. Ryan Callahan had a goal and an assist while Dan Girardi and Chris Kreider also scored for the Rangers. Goalie Henrik Lundqvist posted his second shutout of this series and third of this year's playoffs thanks to 36 saves in Saturday's triumph. Lundqvist, who is a finalist for both the Vezina and Hart Trophies this season, has a 1.57 goals-against average and .942 save percentage to go with his three shutouts in the 2012 postseason.
Dan Girardi leads all defenseman in points in the playoffs with 11 and all three of his goals have been game-winners.
The Rangers will not have forward Brandon Prust for tonight's contest, as he was suspended one game for elbowing New Jersey Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov in the head on Saturday. Volchenkov was shaken up on the play but finished the game and did not suffer an injury.
New Jersey (9-6, 4-2 H) goaltender Martin Brodeur gave up two goals on 21 shots Saturday's loss. New Jersey went 0-for-5 on the power play in the game and have scored only once on 12 opportunities with the man advantage in this series.
"We didn't play that bad today, we did some good things," said New Jersey center Travis Zajac. "We just have to get Game 4 because we know it's going to be a long series. No one in this locker room thought it was going to be an easy series."
"They let us back in the series after Game 1, and I'm sure they're going to try not to let us back in the series again," Devils goalie Martin Brodeur said. "It's hard to talk about. If I didn't see a good attitude in here, I might say something. This morning, nobody looked down. We'll be OK. It's trust, and it's been there all along."
The Bottom Line: The Devils are the favorites because they're at home, but I think the Rangers have the edge with the hotter goalie. Want to dominate the books this season with some of the best NHL Picks Experts in the business? Then sign up right now and get NHL Picks Free!

The average person takes between 12 to 20 breaths per minute. Rapid, shallow breathing, also called tachypnea, occurs when you take more breaths than normal in a given minute. When a person breathes rapidly, it's sometimes known as hyperventilation. Either term applies to this condition. Rapid, shallow breathing can be the result of anything from a lung infection to heart failure. You should always report this symptom to your doctor and get prompt treatment to prevent complications.
When to Seek Medical Attention
You should always treat tachypnea as a medical emergency, particularly the first time you experience it.
Call 911 if you experience any of the following:
- a bluish/gray tint to your skin, nails, lips, or gums
- lightheadedness
- chest pain
- chest that caves in with each breath
- rapid breathing that gets worse
- fever
Tachypnea can be the result of many different conditions. A proper diagnosis from your doctor will help determine a cause. This means that you should report any instance of tachypnea to your doctor.
What Causes Rapid, Shallow Breathing?
Rapid, shallow breathing can be caused by infections, choking, blood clots, diabetic ketoacidosis, heart failure, or asthma.
Infections that affect the lungs, such as pneumonia or bronchiolitis, can cause difficulty breathing. This may translate to shorter and more rapid breaths. If these infections worsen, the lungs could fill with fluid. Fluid in the lungs makes it difficult to take in deep breaths. In rare cases, untreated infections can be fatal.
When you choke, an object partially or completely blocks your airway. If you can breathe at all, the breaths will not be deep or relaxed. In cases of choking, immediate medical attention is crucial.
Blood Clots
A pulmonary embolism is a blood clot in the lung. This can lead to hyperventilation, along with chest pain, coughing, and rapid or irregular heart beat.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
This serious condition occurs when your body doesn't produce enough insulin. As a result, acids called ketones build up in your body. This often leads to rapid breathing.
Hyperventilation is a symptom of an asthma attack. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lungs. It's frequently the cause of rapid and shallow breathing in children.
Anxiety Attacks
Anxiety attacks, also called panic attacks, are a physical response to fear or anxiety. They are often a symptom of an anxiety disorder, which prescription medications and counseling can treat.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
COPD is a common lung disease. It includes chronic bronchitis or emphysema. Bronchitis is an inflammation of the airways. Emphysema is the destruction of air sacs in the lungs.
How Is the Cause of Rapid, Shallow Breathing Diagnosed?
The doctor may immediately administer treatment to correct your breathing pattern and make it easier for you to take deep breaths. Then they may ask questions related to your symptoms or your condition. Your treatment could include receiving oxygen-rich air through a mask.
Once your condition stabilizes, your doctor will ask some questions to help them diagnose the cause. For example:
- When did your breathing problems begin?
- Are you taking any medications?
- Do you have any preexisting medical conditions?
- Do you have any breathing problems or lung conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema?
- Have you recently had a cold or the flu?
After taking your medical history, your doctor will listen to your heart and lungs with a stethoscope. They'll use a pulse oximeter to check your oxygen level. A pulse oximeter is a small monitor worn on your finger.
If necessary, the doctor may check your oxygen levels using an arterial blood gas test. For this test, the doctor withdraws a small amount of blood from your artery and sends it to a lab for analysis. The test causes some discomfort, so your doctor may apply anesthesia (a numbing agent) to the area before drawing your blood.
Imaging Scans
Your doctor may want to take a closer look at your lungs to check for lung damage, signs of disease, or infection. Doctors commonly use an X-ray can for this, but in some cases an ultrasound may be necessary. Other imaging tests such as an MRI or a CT scan are rare, but may be necessary.
What Are the Treatment Options for Rapid, Shallow Breathing?
Treatment options vary depending on the exact cause of the breathing issues.
Lung Infections
Effective treatments for rapid and shallow breathing caused by an infection are an inhaler that opens the airways, such as albuterol, and antibiotics to help clear the infection. Antibiotics aren't useful for certain infections. In these cases, breathing treatments open the airways and the infection goes away on its own.
Chronic Conditions
Chronic conditions including asthma and COPD don't go away. However, with treatment you can minimize rapid and shallow breathing. Treatment for diseases like this can include prescription medications, inhalers, and oxygen tanks in extreme cases.
Anxiety Disorders
If you experience rapid and shallow breathing as a symptom of an anxiety attack, your doctor will likely recommend a combination of therapy and antianxiety medication. These medications could include Xanax, Klonopin, and buspirone.
Other Treatments
If you're still breathing rapidly and the above treatments aren't working, your doctor will prescribe a beta-blocker medication to correct your breathing. These medications include acebutolol, atenolol, and bisoprolol. They treat rapid, shallow breathing by counteracting the effects of adrenaline. Adrenaline is a stress hormone that increases heart rate and breathing.
How Can I Prevent Rapid, Shallow Breathing?
Preventative measures depend on the cause of your rapid breathing. For instance, if it's due to asthma, you should avoid allergens, strenuous exercise, and irritants like smoke and pollution.
You may be able to stop hyperventilation before it develops into an emergency. If you're hyperventilating, you need to increase your carbon dioxide intake and decrease your oxygen intake. To do this, position your lips as if you're sucking through a straw and breathe. You can also close your mouth, then cover one of your nostrils and breathe through the open nostril.
The cause of your hyperventilation might make prevention difficult. However, seeking quick treatment for the underlying cause may stop the problem from getting worse or becoming frequent.

THE GIFTS OF ATHENA Historical Origins of the Knowledge Economy
Historical Origins of the Knowledge Economy
By Joel Mokyr
Princeton University -- 359pp -- $35
From the fierce conflict taking place over federal budgetary questions, you might deduce that government actions are the key determinants of economic health. Yet, according to Joel Mokyr, the impact of fiscal policy pales in comparison with that of ideas and innovations. Indeed, there's barely a mention of taxes or deficits in Mokyr's fascinating, magisterial investigation into the wellsprings of modern economic growth and improved living standards, The Gifts of Athena: Historical Origins of the Knowledge Economy. What's truly important, he says, are the institutions, policies, and networks that generate and disseminate "useful knowledge."
Mokyr, a professor of economics and history at Northwestern University, is hardly a household name, but he's a key member of an influential group of economic historians that includes Douglass North, Richard Nelson, David Landes, Nathan Rosenberg, and Paul David. They have been grappling for years with the most compelling questions in economics: How does long-run economic growth occur? Why did the Industrial Revolution take place in the West? What factors explain why some nations are rich and others are poor?
Not surprisingly, The Gifts of Athena is a big-idea history book, a complex tale that interweaves science, technology, economics, sociology, and political science. Early on, Mokyr makes a distinction that frames the rest of his discussion: the difference between "propositional" knowledge and "prescriptive" knowledge. The first comprises beliefs about natural phenomena, such as scientific discoveries and practical insights into the properties of materials, heat, motion, and the like. Prescriptive knowledge is all about techniques--the manipulation of recipes, such as how to write a piece of software. The growing interplay between these two forms of knowledge, says Mokyr, transformed the world economy after the 1800s. "The historical question is not whether engineers or artisans `inspired' the scientific revolution or, conversely, whether the Industrial Revolution was `caused by science,"' says Mokyr. "It is the strong complementarity, the continuous feedback between the two types of knowledge, that set a new course."
The great divide in world history, of course, was the Industrial Revolution--or, as Mokyr calls it, the Industrial Enlightenment. To be sure, there was economic growth prior to the 1800s, and there were periods of remarkable innovation, as in medieval Europe and imperial China. But before the Industrial Revolution in the West, periods of growth would end in stagnation. Population growth caught up with raised agricultural yields, and fearful aristocratic and bureaucratic elites acted to block technological progress. What changed?
Mokyr focuses on scholars, philosophers, authors, scientists, and other intellectuals. In this era of scientific discovery, they believed in both comprehending and manipulating nature. But their ethos also supported the exchange of knowledge. The cost of gaining access to information plunged, thanks to the printing press, the formation of informal scholarly communities across European countries, and the creation of formal societies, such as the Institution of Royal Engineers.
While chronicling gee-whiz innovations and their impact on productivity, Mokyr shows how technology transformed the way people live and work. For instance, before 1750, most nonagricultural workers in Western Europe worked at home: The household and the plant were the same. Then came the rise of manufacturing, splitting the two. Behind the factory system was the fact that it proved cheaper to transport people to one location, where vital knowledge could be imparted, rather than to transmit such learning to their houses. Mokyr's book is mostly historical, but he does occasionally address issues of the present. For example, he sees the transportation/shared-knowledge calculus changing: "Modern communications and information technology are weakening the many advantages that the `factory' has had over the household," says Mokyr, leading to telecommuting. This is hardly a new idea, but Mokyr brings fresh authority to the notion.
Like most other economists, Mokyr is a big believer in the benefits of openness, from freer trade among nations to shared technical information. He also understands the obstacles, and he pays considerable attention to an examination of the forces resisting technological change. He doesn't consider such opposition irrational. After all, when the steam thresher threatened the livelihood of 1830s British farmers and gentry, they rioted. Similarly, an alliance of German blacksmiths, horse breeders, and railroad investors slowed the automobile's introduction in Germany, where it had been invented by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler. Often, it is political power that determines whether a technology finds its way into the mainstream, and how quickly.
A couple of caveats: The Gifts of Athenais a dense and sometimes abstruse work. And even well-educated readers may grow peeved as they reach repeatedly for the dictionary. But when pondering questions of economic growth, I've found myself reflecting again and again on the book's wisdom. This is one that will stand the test of time.

The host contacted us only 3 days before our flight but he explained well the procedure.
The room is quite big for London standards but it is extrimely dirty.
The sheets weren't clean, evidently they were been already used by others and the towels provided by him were very dirty.
The shower located in the room was impossible to use due to the hot temperature of the water(the water comes out only on 40/45 °C).
I also asked by email if there would be a hairdrier in the house and he assured me that,but when we arrived there, there wasn't.
I tried to contact him several times and he never answered me.
The only positive thing is that the location is really good for exploring London(it's only 5 minute walk to Aldgate east station-zone2) and it's near to a Tesco express.
We didnt meet the owner, the room was clean but the shower plate was dirty and didn't worked and dont seems to be used frequently, forget about using it.
Very nice room on a great, central location. We had a great time and would like to come back in this accomodation.

Marcello C. Monteiro Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Seminar at Dominion Mixed Martial Arts Academy
On January 25, 2013 Professor Marcello C. Monteiro, a 3rd degree Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, will be visiting Dominion Mixed Martial Arts to conduct an in house seminar on Brazilian top game techniques.
Professor Monteiro is a world renowned Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coach with the following accomplishments:
● He is the author of the first No Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu book called "Secret Positions." Gracie Magazine launched Secret Positions on how to teach BJJ positions without a Gi. The Gracie magazine sold the Secret Positions No Gi Book (at the Gracie Shop) in Brazil for approximately five years from 1998-2003. Marcello was the first person ever to show the Anaconda choke in a printed publication.
● He took part in a documentary about De La Riva's life and his created guard position known as the "De La Riva Hook". In the documentary, Marcello was demostrating some positions with De La Riva himself. In the video, Marcello was featured along side many great masters such as Rickson Gracie, Carlson Gracie, Royler Gracie, Renzo Gracie, Ze Mario Sperry, Murilo Bustamante and Rodrigo Nogueira (Minotauro), telling about De La Riva's life. That documentary is still currently sold in Japan.
● Marcello won the first and only Carlson Gracie Competition Team"Tournament"
● He is graduate of the "Rio De Janeiro State Jiu-Jitsu Federation", which is a federation in Brazil that sets and maintains the standards of Jiu Jitsu in Rio de Janeiro/Brazil.
● Registered as a Physical Education Professor from "Conselho Regional de Educacao Fisica - CREF-010016P/
● Achieved his Black Belt under Master Ricardo De La Riva in April 1999.
● In 2001, he received an additional certificate for his black belt from 9th degree red belt Carlos Robson Gracie.
● Marcello is best know as an instructor that has turned regular students into State, National and World champions.
We encourage you to visit the academy and sign up for this one in a life time opportunity to train with one of the world's best. Seminar Fees are the following:
● $85 for pre-registration
● $100 at the door.
If you have questions about this seminar you can contact Dominion Mixed Martial Arts Academy via email at email@example.com or give us a call at 210-560-0662. We will accept cash, personal checks and all major credit cards for the seminar.

Location: Soybean/maize Germplasm, Pathology, and Genetics Research2010 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
1) Efficiently and effectively conserve and distribute a comprehensive assemblage of maize genetic stocks and associated information to maize researchers and breeders worldwide. 2) Strategically genotype and phenotype maize genetic stocks for priority traits, and incorporate genotypic and phenotypic data into MaizeGDB, GRIN, and/or other databases.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
Our mission is to make natural and induced allelic and chromosomal variations available to the scientific community and to make information about the mutant collection available to researchers. The National Plant Germplasm System provides support to selected genetic stock centers having genetic resources of value to U.S. agricultural interests. The Maize Genetics Cooperation - Stock Center maintains important accessions of morphological and physiological markers, aneuploid material, translocations and inversions that are important tools in biological research. This project will increase the value of the stock collection as genetic tools and confirm the status of novel mutants discovered. Maize mutants have historically been used in gene discovery and will continue to be used in this way. New mapping tools in our collection will allow easier identification of genomic sequence underlying a phenotype. More recently, novel genes are being identified purely by sequence analyses. This will accelerate in the next few years with the release of the maize genome sequence. Identification of the functions for these newly identified genes can be determined by researchers with reverse genetics resources in our collection.
3. Progress Report
13,185 seed samples were supplied in response to 299 requests. 85 requests were received from 24 foreign countries. 5.7 acres of nursery were grown last summer. Moderate temperatures and low plant stress during and following pollination resulted in excellent yields. Plantings were made of donated stocks (Hi27 near-isogenic mutant lines, various Chromosome 9/B Chromosome rearrangements, bsd2-m1, various r1 alleles, various photosynthetic and developmental mutants, recent EMS-induced mutants, DfK10(I), bt2-H2328, rth3-3, and others). Stocks produced from the project "Regulation of Maize Inflorescence Architecture" were grown this past summer. Approximately 300 families of M2 materials were grown to increase seed supplies and recover previously observed mutations. Also, 1642 families M2 EMS materials were grown for adult plant observation. There are also additional sequence indexed lines from the Uniform Mu project. Our curation tools were updated and improved. These tools input our public stock data directly into MaizeGDB to give maize scientists access to up-to-date information about our collection. The tools are also used for our internal database. Maintenance continues on our web site. An additional 486 phenotype–only stocks were sent to the National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation in Fort Collins, Colorado for backup. Selected samples from the main collection were also pulled and sent this year. The new greenhouse space in Urbana was used for our fourth winter crop. The space has proven to be excellent for growing material that doesn't do well under our field conditions. Our new seed storage space presently has 990 seed storage drawers of the 1,584 the room will eventually hold (pending funding).
4. Accomplishments
1. Further characterization of new corn mutants. It is useful to determine if traits of these mutants are due to defects in known genes, or if they are novel traits. We conducted tests on several categories of mutants with similar effects on the corn plant and/or found to be located in a similar position on a chromosome. We identified additional mutant variants of five genes. This summer, we are testing additional mutants with traits that effect kernel germination and yellow pigment intensity. In this manner, we hope to incorporate more stocks from our vast collection of unplaced uncharacterized (phenotype-only) mutants into the main collection of characterized mutants. This will enhance corn biological research and lead to agronomic improvements in this crop plant.
2. Further characterization of a regulatory system of purple kernel color enhancers in corn. We have characterized additional variants of regulatory genes that function to enhance kernel color. These genes regulate pigment synthesis in the corn kernel. This will enhance corn biological research by giving us a greater understanding of gene regulation.

During the spring/summer fashion weeks this hair trend was seen all over runways and recently it's being spotted more and more on celebrities! The 'slicked back' hair style is so effortless yet chic and has become one of Spring/Summer 2012's hottest hair trends! This style is a great way to bring out your eyes and cheek bones without putting your hair in a ponytail or updo. I personally love it because I get bored of hairstyles easily and there's only so much of switching your part from a middle part to a side part and back to a middle part that you can do … with this style there's no part! The look is reminiscent of when you come out of the pool with wet hair and push it straight back to get it out of your face … which I love right now because it reminds me of summer and I'm oh so tired of our rainy winter days here in Cape Town right now!Continue reading

A career-best haul from Victorian paceman Peter Siddle has given Australia the impetus required to overcome a courageous Sri Lanka in the first Test in Hobart and secure a hard-fought win.
On a day when he was under the spotlight for allegedly tampering with the ball on his way to a first-innings 5-54, Siddle produced a valiant 4-50 from 26 overs to complete match figures of 9-104 and propel Australia to a long-awaited first Test win of the summer.
Mitchell Starc (5-63) cranked up the pace and aggression late in the day to burn through the tail and see Australia dismiss the visitors for 255, completing the 137-run win when he had Shaminda Eranga caught behind for six with 10.4 overs remaining in the match.
Only four Sri Lankan wickets had fallen before tea on the fifth day in Hobart but when Siddle snared the important scalp of Thilan Samaraweera (49), effectively removing Sri Lanka's last remaining specialist batsman, momentum had swung decisively and the injury-hit Aussies moved in for the kill.
However, the hosts were still made to fight all the way by a brave Sri Lankan outfit desperate not to go behind in the three-match series.
Siddle bowled with unerring accuracy and control, repeatedly hitting his line and length and leaving the opposition in two minds, given the inconsistent bounce and reverse swing he managed to extract on the wearing Blundstone Arena surface.
Samaraweera and Angelo Mathews (19) resumed after tea and had added an even 50 when Mathews momentarily lost his head and his wicket as a result.
Steaming in from the Church Street end, Siddle tempted the all-rounder into a loose prod outside off stump from the final ball of his 21st over and teamed with Matthew Wade behind the stumps for his eighth scalp of the match.
With runs a non-issue, Clarke had set an extremely aggressive field for the run home every player called in to a catching position as Australia began the squeeze with seven men crowding the bat for Nathan Lyon (0-57).
Despite this, Samaraweera somehow managed to elude Phil Hughes at silly-point when he fended at a leaping Shane Watson (1-54) delivery that caught him high on the bat.
Seemingly rattled, the 36-year-old sparred at a Siddle ball in the next over and was again lucky not to have feathered a catch behind the wicket.
As it was, his defiance ended three deliveries later when the ball ducked back off a length and trapped him on the crease, seemingly plumb in front.
Samaraweera reluctantly used Sri Lanka's last available review possibly aware of the likely outcome and umpire Nigel Llong's decision was upheld, Sri Lanka falling to 6-218 and looking shaky for the first time all day.
Starc was brought back to rest Siddle with 22 overs remaining in an increasingly tense day and repaid his skipper by having Prasanna Jayawardene (21) caught by Michael Hussey at second slip.
He was unlucky not to have Nuwan Kulasekara (nine) in his next over as Shane Watson failed to take a low chance at slip that appeared to hit him on the left foot, but Wade pouched the next chance to come along, giving Starc his third for the innings and bringing the win ever closer.
Rangana Herath (eight) somehow kept Starc out for 43 brave minutes but was eventually undone when a yorker deflected off his pad and ran back onto the stumps, barely hard enough to dislodge the bails.
Eranga was last to go, fending at Starc to give Wade his fourth catch of the innings and to complete the left-arm quick's second five-wicket haul in two matches.
Earlier in the day, news of an informal complaint from Sri Lankan team management regarding Siddle's alleged ball tampering during the first innings had surfaced, threatening to cast an unsavoury pall over the final day's play.
An ICC statement confirmed match referee Chris Broad had been made aware of the purported incident but that no formal complaint had been lodged.
In another unexpected happening on a gripping afternoon, Clarke decided to back his cricketing intuition leading in to tea by throwing the ball to wicketkeeper Wade for the last over of the session.
While Wade couldn't reward his captain's hunch with a wicket, he did provide fans on a sparsely populated hill with something to tell their friends about as the match appeared to be drifting towards a draw.
It was the first time an Australian keeper had bowled since Rod Marsh did so against Pakistan at the MCG in 1983 a day when all 11 Aussies took their turn with the ball but the moment was soon forgotten about as the absorbing final session took shape.
