It is the end of the coverage from us. Thanks for all your feedback and comments. Devashish Fuloria signing off. Ciao ciao. ODIs starting this Saturday.
Graeme Smith: "We had to work hard to get into that position to notch these wins up. We have been very professional. Barring couple of dropped catches, our cricket has been of a high standard. We have new players who come in and chip in straightaway. for someone like Dean, it is great to come in and contribute, exciting times for the team. I have never thought of coming close to 100 Tests as a captain, but I am really looking forward to it. AB will have to take the role for the ODIs and hopefully he will continue well."
Brendon McCullum: "Very tough Test matches, we were well short of the mark against the no. 1 side. We were really exposed. It is hard to point finger at anything at the moment, but we were outplayed in all departments by SA. We wanted to come here and compete, we showed glimpses at time. We had high hopes, maybe to win a sneak a win or two. Unfortunately we were exposed. The guys in the team fronted up well against SA, can't fault their attitude. ODI cricket is to a little to our liking as per our cricketing abilities. Hopefully we will be able to play well."
Man-of-the-Match: Dale Steyn beats three of his team-mates to win the Man-of the Match Dean Elgar, Hashim Amla and Faf.
Steyn: "We got the bowl to swing in both these Tests. Rory stepped up, Robin played well too. Morne bowled well but didn't get the wickets he deserved. I try to bowl quick all the time, it goes up after a couple of wickets. I try to do that all the time. I am level with Hashim Amla in terms of wicketswith 19 five-fors"
Craig: "These mismatches should not be allowed by the ICC, all test playing nations must be forced to pick their best available squad or cancel the tour."
Anay: "Its too early to say yet, but this South African side for the first time in their history are showing signs of ruthlessness and an ability to overcome pressure, which is the sign of great teams"
Meanwhile, Andrew McGlashan's match report is already up. Amjad: "So at least, Andrew McGlashan has secured his dinner."
Nishant: "Kudos to Gary Kirsten ! what he could not achieve while he played, he is able to make his teams deliver it. First India, now South Africa."
Mayur: "I am relieved (and so will be many Indian Test Cric Fans).. Relativity is the best dose in desparate times ;)"
Handshakes all around, Smith looked chuffed. It is SA's first series whitewash after they cleaned out Bangladesh in 2008.
chris: "Do you guys get paid by the test match, the day or the over? If the last two, how are you supllmenting your income during this series to manage to feed your families?" The only thing I know Chris is that I won't be able to afford dinner tonight. Poor Alan Gardener, he was supposed to handle the next two sessions, it is going to be hard week for him.
Mark: "I know people go on about Chris Martins lack of batting ability but, aside from the general capitulation of the top order, one of the disappointments of the series has been the way nobody in the lower order has taken the opportunity to show some grit and ability with the bat. At least Martin tries. The rest of the tail just seem to step away and swing wildly and hope."
Sriram: "Take a bow Gary Kirsten!! You beauty"
Dera: "I've been a keen follower of New Zealand Cricket since 1991 (was a seven year old back then); and I've not seen them play this bad ever, not even during the reign of Ken Rutherford; pathetic."
Feliciano: "How does this effect the test rankings?" Haha. Good joke.
Dan the Man: "Patel trying to answer the age-old question...can one gangnam style with full batting gear on, bat in hand..."

Tuite scores 29 points to lead Chartiers Valley to 4th WPIAL title game in past 5 years
This isn't the tallest Chartiers Valley lineup or even the most talented in recent years. Yet, for the fourth time in five seasons, the Colts will visit Palumbo Center.
"We're not the biggest guys, but that doesn't matter; we have the biggest hearts," said senior Jerrad Tuite, a 5-foot-9 guard who scored 18 of his game-high 29 points in the fourth quarter of Tuesday night's 71-57 semifinal victory over Uniontown in the WPIAL Class AAA playoffs at Baldwin.
Against a talented, taller opponent, the Colts' desire showed.
Ahead by three at halftime, Chartiers Valley used a strong third quarter to build a double-digit lead, and then watched Tuite make 14 of his 17 free throws in the fourth to seal the win.
"They find a way," CV coach Tim McConnell said. "You can't judge our team by the size we are when we walk out on the floor. ... Are we the best basketball players? No. But do we work hard? Absolutely."
No. 1 Chartiers Valley (24-1) will face No. 2 Central Valley at 9 p.m., Friday, in the WPIAL Class AAA final. No. 5 Uniontown (21-2), which was seeking its first WPIAL championship since 2002, already has qualified for the state playoffs.
Returning to Palumbo was especially important for Tuite, who missed his junior season with a knee injury. He was on the bench last winter when Chartiers Valley lost there to Montour in the final.
"We talked about it before the game and said, 'This is your opportunity. You want to play at the Palumbo Center, let's go out and get it done,' " said McConnell, who's Tuite's uncle. "He took it to heart."
Tuite scored 18 of his team's final 25 points in a second-half performance McConnell called "phenomenal."
Chartiers Valley, which missed its first eight 3-point attempts, used defense and some key offensive rebounds to lead 43-34 after three quarters. With 3:49 left, a layup by Uniontown junior Lyric Ellis cut the lead to 53-44. But Uniontown got no closer than nine points.
Four consecutive free throws by Tuite pushed the lead to 13. After missing five of his first nine, Tuite made 13 of his final 14 foul shots.
"If we're going to trade two foul shots for a basket every time, I like my chances," McConnell said. "He's been a very good foul shooter for us."
Eddie Flohr added 15 points for Chartiers Valley, and Matty McConnell had 10. Jordan Pratt and Lyric Ellis each had 15 points for Uniontown. Xavier Ellis had 14.
Both teams had one loss before Tuesday. Uniontown had won 12 consecutive since a loss to Class A finalist Monessen on Jan. 4. Chartiers Valley had won 16 straight since a one-point loss to Ambridge on Dec. 28.
"We hung with them for a while, but we really didn't play very well on offense or defense," Uniontown coach Rob Kezmarsky said. "But I'm still very proud of this team. We worked all year to earn a No. 2 seed, where we wouldn't have to meet (Chartiers Valley) until we got to Palumbo. It didn't work out that way, but you still have to play your best when you are playing the best team. Tonight, we didn't do that."
Chartiers Valley played much of the first half without Matty McConnell. The junior guard sat for the final 6:35 of the second quarter with three fouls. Yet, the Colts claimed a lead without him. A 3-pointer by freshman Ross Wilkerson 2 seconds before halftime gave Chartiers Valley a 26-23 lead.
"For not having Matty in the game for that many minutes, I was extremely happy (to have the lead)," Tim McConnell said. "That three by Ross Wilkerson at the end of the half gave us a spark, gave us some momentum. We were fired up."
With 3-pointers from McConnell and Flohr, Chartiers Valley outscored Uniontown 17-11 in the third quarter. That momentum carried over to the Colts' 28-point fourth quarter that clinched another trip to Palumbo.
"Ever since I was a little kid, I watched my cousins play down there," Tuite said. "You say, one day, that's going to be me. Finally, I'm going to make it a reality."
Along with being last year's runners-up, Chartiers Valley was Class AAA champion in 2010 and Class AAAA runner-up in 2011.
"When my nephew transferred to Char Valley, I told him there's only one thing I can promise you: 'There's a chance you could play for a WPIAL championship,' " McConnell said. "With him getting hurt last year, he lost that opportunity. And now we're back, and I'm able to keep that promise."

If I were to guess what the chances are of matching your outfit perfectly with your surroundings, I would say slim to none. As you can see, this Fashionisto's ensemble matches impeccably with the building he is standing in front of. This isn't necessarily style advice, but it is obviously a successful color palette for a multitude of things.
Now on to this week's advice: color mixed with more color, mixed with some neutrals. That may be a mouthful, but it shouldn't be hard to do when looking through your closet. I hope you have been preparing for the fall/winter and stocked up with at least one pair of colored denim. The next step is to pair those colored slacks with an apparel item of a contrasting color. For example, take this golden J.Crew sweater, pair it with these plum Levi Brand Jeans and you're set. This Fashionisto demonstrates this idea by pairing his teal pants with a red-orange scarf; both colors are vibrant, but pair well together because they are exact opposites.
The trick to utilizing complementary colors in your outfit is to neutralize the rest. As we see here, he layers a white shirt with a sand colored sweater vest and a black leather jacket. Earth tones help to not make it look so matchy-matchy and also draw attention to the two highlighting colors.
Hint: He actually knit his own scarf. If you don't want to spend $50 on a scarf, try picking up the hobby or even asking your mom or grandma to make one for you. Otherwise, try looking on Esty for handmade scarves for sale.

Dewey Clayton Professor of Political Science, University of Louisville :
If these allegations turn out to be true, they could be very damaging to Herman Cain's presidential bid. This is becoming a problem for Cain because more allegations keep coming out. And the mere allegations themselves can be extremely damaging. Cain has stated that he is not going to discuss this anymore, however, it appears that he will be forced to discuss this as long as new allegations continue to arise and the media continues to cover the story.

Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World(1982)
A non fiction book by Arthur C Clarke, John Fairley and Simon Welfare
Beyond the world we can quantify, classify and analyse there is another, more mysterious world. In this book Arthur C Clarke investigates this supra-scientific world. Under his direction, Simon Welfare and John Fairley travelled five continents interviewing witnesses of strange and unexplained phenomena. They talked to men and women who had seen monsters from the depths of oceans and lakes, had been showered by frogs and fishes and had watched 'unidentified flying objects' crossing the night sky in brilliant light; they talked to explorers and mountain people who had seen the yeti, the abominable snowman and his cousin 'Bigfoot'. More threatening events are also evaluated in the hope that we can glean evidence which may prevent future catastrophe. Arthur C Clarke would not wish, even if it were possible, to provide answers to all the questions posed in this book. As he writes: 'The universe is such a strange and wonderful place that reality will always out-reach the wildest imagination.' from Goodreads

Casey Golomski is a Lecturer at the University of Massachusetts Boston, a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa in the Department of Social Anthropology's "Life Course, Obligation, and Dependency" research unit, and public speaker and author. His research interrogates social reproduction at the crossroads of religion and medicine, asking how religiously-informed ideas and social relations inform the ways people understand and experience their bodies, health, illness and dying, and the ways they access medical technologies. In the past, he completed independent studies in African languages (isiZulu, siSwati) at Boston University and the University of KwaZulu-Natal, religion at Harvard Divinity School, and landscape architecture and folklore at the University of Wisconsin. Recently, he completed six years of ethnographic and archival research on a "new culture of funerals" and their material forms like cremation, tombstones, and insurance policies in at the turn of the Millenium in the Kingdom of Swaziland, Africa's last absolute monarchy with the world's highest HIV prevalence. This research was funded by three Fulbright grants and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Currently, he is conducting research with funding from the Wenner Gren Foundation on race, insurance and social assistance, and frail-care for older persons in the province of Mpumalanga in post-Apartheid South Africa. He is also an avid classical musician performing in the Boston area. Casey teaches courses on: Africa in global, ethnographic and historical perspective; medicine and healing; aging, dying and the life course; religion and ritual; material and visual culture; and social theory; and he invites students to contact him for informal advising and independent study opportunities.

NECA's 'Batman Returns' Penguin is Disgustingly Awesome
After the success of Batman, Warner Bros. once again tapped Tim Burton to bring the Dark Knight to the sliver screen in the sequel, Batman Returns. While there was no Internet to rampantly speculate about what villain Batman should face off against after the Joker's demise at the conclusion of the 1989 film, the possibilities were endless. Batman's rogue gallery was massive and full of great foils for Bruce Wayne's alter-ego. Imagine the world's surprise when Burton, being as Burton as he could possibly be, tapped Danny DeVito for the role of the Penguin.
Now, some 20+ years later, NECA is finally giving DeVito's Penguin the action figure due he so deserved. Announced at last year's San Diego Comic-Con, the quarter-scale figure captures everything that made the Penguin such a memorable character, right down to the blue blood, natty hair, and toothy grimace that inspired many a nightmare in terrified kids.

Christmas in New York: Tina's Holiday Favorites
Only 10 more days until Christmas! 😛
I've lived in New York for the past 17 years. I'm sure you've heard a lot of New Yorkers say that they wouldn't be caught dead doing touristy stuff but I, my friends, are not like my fellow people. I enjoy this city the most around Christmas time, even though the crowds freak me out. There's so much to do and see and there's always something to remember!
Here are my favorite things to check out during the holiday season in New York City.
Which one is your favorite?

Soldiers and pilots who can train together on networked simulators not only learn how to handle military situations, they develop the teamwork that's essential for a successful mission.
But F-16 pilots operating a simulated mission in an anechoic chamber in Maryland might not be network compatible for a simultaneous mission simulation with an enemy air defense system in Houston and a test control group in New Mexico. Likewise, NATO member nations might have difficulty with allied forces training using various nations' warfighting systems simulations.
The solution is a common, high-level network architecture for an array of simulators widely differing in age, purpose and technological complexity. The U.S. Defense Department began work on this new standard in the mid-1990s under the auspices of the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office and a consortium of government, industry and academic researchers.
Among those involved are Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) engineers, who began supporting the development of the new High Level Architecture standard four years ago. It is challenging work, in part because the development of High Level Architecture (HLA) — a general purpose architecture for simulation reuse and interoperability — is dependent upon a host of ever-changing technologies, says Senior Research Engineer Margaret Loper. She is one of 12 members of the Distributed Simulation Systems (DSS) research team, a part of the Information Technology and Telecommunications Laboratory at GTRI.
Distributed simulation is a technology area that has grown increasingly reliable and realistic because of the evolution of all the technologies that go into it, Loper explains.
"You can run very powerful, realistic-looking simulations on a PC, whereas 10 years ago you had to have a very high-end Silicon Graphics machine to be able to do it," Loper says. "So the networking simulations are just one part of the picture. You also have to deal with all the advances in graphics and visual systems, hardware platforms, communication networks, artificial intelligence and behavior modeling. The list goes on and on."
GTRI's responsibilities in the development of technologies that support HLA embrace several major initiatives.
High Level Architecture Testing and Support
GTRI's original role in the HLA project was development of the test process, procedures and tools for determining whether a particular simulation complies with HLA. A professor from the College of Computing was also assigned the task of designing and documenting time-management services for the HLA interface.
Federation Verification Tool
Another testing project, this effort focuses on testing a group of networked simulations called a federation.
"Once you bring your simulations together and you've got them talking, sending data back and forth using the HLA, how do you verify that all the simulations are really doing what they're supposed to be doing?" says Loper, in framing the task before the GTRI researchers.
Typically, a network of simulators is employed to model a large, complex scenario. The scenario's accuracy depends upon the proper interaction among the individual simulators in the network.
"Each simulation has its own set of rules and responsibilities about what it's supposed to do — whether it's modeling aircraft or tanks, where and when it's supposed to move, what it's supposed to fire at and under what conditions," Loper says. "The federation verification tool runs while the simulations are interacting. It knows what each simulation is responsible for, and it verifies that each one is doing what it is supposed to do. If there's a problem, the tool can pinpoint the simulation that may be causing others problems in the network."
Advanced Simulation Technology Thrust
When it comes to getting simulations to work together, timing is everything. The trick is to develop time-management specifications that eventually will allow synchronization of simulations varying greatly in internal architecture, function and purpose. The specifications would even address the need to track time — some simulations are more time-management reliant than others.
Dr. Richard M. Fujimoto of the Georgia Tech College of Computing accomplished the first part of the task by devising architecture specifications that allow simulations with different needs to share a time-management reference. The project's next phase involves developing the next generation of time-management algorithms that will allow disparate simulations to effectively work together.
High Level Architecture Simulation Interface
With the advent of the HLA, existing simulations can be called legacy systems because they were not designed to operate in the new HLA environment. So GTRI is now developing interfaces, tools and procedures to allow legacy systems to migrate or connect to HLA.
This project has resulted in the development of a software tool, the Distributed Simulation Interface Framework (DSIF), which is being used to migrate simulations to HLA.
MIMI HLA Model Migration
In another project, GTRI researchers have drawn upon their work in HLA to bring an operational legacy simulation into an HLA environment.
MIMI, which stands for the Mobilization and Deployment Capability Assurance Project (MADCAP) Integration Management Initiative, is a model used by the U.S. Army Forces Command to plan the mobilization of soldiers for military contingencies. GTRI used the DSIF tool to build a software interface between MIMI and the HLA.
"Now that MIMI supports the HLA standards, the model, which was previously used only in stand-alone mode, can be linked with other DoD simulations for training, analysis or acquisition," says DSS researcher David Roberts.
Human Behavior Modeling and Model-Based Design
One of the new research areas for the DSS group combines its HLA experience with research conducted in Georgia Tech's School of Industrial and Systems Engineering by Dr. Christine Mitchell. DSS researchers are building a model of the decision-making process used by a military squad leader operating in an urban environment. This model will help evaluate the information requirements needed to design computer displays helpful to the soldier. Using HLA, this model of the soldier can be integrated with other simulations to evaluate requirements in a realistic simulated environment in real-world military exercises.
"This project is a good example of how the HLA can make a difference," Roberts explains. "Simulations that were developed for different reasons can now be brought together into one environment for training and new concept development."

Minor League teams are known for the creativity of their gameday promotions. On Tuesdays this season, we preview the most intriguing for the week ahead. If you'd like a particular promotion to be considered for this feature in the futurFue, please send it to email@example.com with the subject line: "Promo Preview" or send him a Tweet -- hashtag "#promopreview."
Attention all Huntsville-area employers: Buck Rogers, general manager of the Huntsville Stars, has a message for you.
"We want to reward one person who really deserves a day off from work and we need your help. You select that one employee who makes your life bearable at work, you know the one: never forgets your birthday, bails you out when you screw up, takes the fall when you're wrong in a staff meeting. Then we do all the work."
Rogers, a loquacious individual no matter the forum, wrote the above request as part of a long mailing list missive detailing the Stars' "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" promotion. It takes place Wednesday before, during and after the Stars' matinee contest against the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, as Rogers and his front office brethren do their darnedest to replicate the fictional Ferris' adventures during his now-legendary day off.
The recipient of this unexpected break from Wednesday's usual tedium will be chosen via an essay contest, as the Stars have asked local employers to nominate their most deserving underling. Whoever he or she may be will be ushered out of the workplace by a Stars employee and then tasked with finding two partners in crime (the real life equivalents of the movie's Cameron and Sloane).
This impromptu threesome shall then visit the Huntsville Museum of Art and dine at the renowned Cotton Row restaurant before traveling to Joe Davis Stadium ( ) to throw out an honorary first pitch (a post-game performance of "Twist and Shout" in downtown Huntsville is apparently in the works as well).
Once this whirlwind afternoon comes to a close, "Ferris" will be dropped off back at his or her workplace, as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened at all.

"The bottom line -- somebody and his or her two best buds are going to have a heckuva day skipping work," wrote Rogers. "It might as well be you and your two buds. Just remember, 'Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.'"

Aging2.0 | San Francisco
Thursday, August 16, 2012 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM (PDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Aging2.0 is a global network of innovators working in the 50+ market. We are creating an interdisciplinary, collaborative community of people from business, research, policy, design and technology, together with older adults themselves in order to advance innovation and improve the quality of life.
Our events bring people together informally with drinks, snacks and good discussions. We are having our second meetup in San Francisco on Thursday, August 16th at TechSoup, a fantastic nonprofit organization that provides technology to nonprofits and libraries so that they can fulfill their missions and serve their communities. Tickets available from Eventbrite.
Details: 6pm - 9 pm, August 16th TechSoup, 525 Brannan Street, Suite 100, San Francisco, CA 94107 (On Brannan between 4th and 5th, conveniently close to CalTrain)
Presenters: Christina LaMontagne, Principal, Physic Ventures
Christina LaMontagne is a Principal at Physic Ventures, a San Francisco based venture capital firm focused on health and sustainability. She invests in early-stage consumer technology businesses, with a particular focus on new commerce, mobile, and big data technologies that help consumers lead better lives. At the moment, she is focused on businesses promoting wellness and beauty and is particularly interested in entrepreneurial ideas crossing international borders. She observes the boards of Gazelle, GoodGuide and WaterSmart and works closely with GreenGoose and Revolution Foods. Christina will be talking about the aging space from her perspective as an early-stage investor.
Scott Peifer, Executive Director, AgeTech CA
Scott Peifer is Executive Director of AgeTech California, a strategic partnership between Aging Services of California and the California Association of Health Services at Home. AgeTech California was established to promote the use of advanced health and wellness technologies by aging services and home care providers throughout California. Its primary focus is on "e-care" technologies that enable "connected independence" for older Californians. Scott leads AgeTech's work as an educator, broker, enabler and advocate to achieve related strategic objectives. Scott will be talking broadly about the AgeTech organization, but also specifically about the Developing Technology Partner program. The program is designed to give start-up technology organizations strategic opportunities with AgeTech affiliated providers and to help advance the development of eCare and supportive technologies to serve older adults. Scott will also discuss opportunities related to the upcoming AgeTech Conference and Technology Expo (November 15th in Pasadena, CA).
Jules Sherman and Stephen Racunas, StoryCoach & Human Centered Design & Technology
Story Coach was developed at Stanford's d. School as a graduate design thesis project. The interdisciplinary group spent nearly a year studying what makes older adults healthiest, and happiest. The answer turned out to be connecting emotionally with their families, particularly their grandchildren. Grandparents love to tell life stories, and children love to listen to stories that are entertaining and age-appropriate. The Story Coach app provides users with a convenient way to capture, embellish and ultimately share life stories in the form of e-books or hardcover books. Over time, Story Coach helps families create an anthology of important family memories. Jules Sherman and Stephen Racunas will explain their research process and final prototypes.
Today, Jules and Stephen run HCDT, a consultancy that grew out of Stanford's Graduate Program in Design. HCDT is a team of experts in the fields of computer science, product design and business strategy who work together to design compassionate product and service solutions for health-care, family communication and aging in place. HCDT offers ethnography services, software design, product design and business analysis/strategy services.
Andy Agrawal, Founder, TenderTree
Andy started TenderTree when he realized how terribly broken hiring a caregiver is. TenderTree is an online marketplace to find in-home care (from companionship and housekeeping all the way to dementia care and skilled nursing). It is 100% free for consumers to search TenderTree's trusted network of pre-screened, background-checked caregivers. The caregiver profiles include photos, skills, professional license verifications, work history, and much more. Once the consumer has selected a caregiver, TenderTree generates contracts automatically, handles the taxes, allows caregivers to submit their time cards online, and then allows the families to pay via the platform. The site also has a $3 million liability insurance policy which it provides to anyone who continues to use the platform after the hire has been made. TenderTree was a member of the 500 Startups Accelerator Program. They launched their service in the Bay Area but plan to expand to beta users in other markets soon.
Christine Egy Rose, Founder & CEO, Scoot & Doodle
Christine Egy Rose grew up in Kansas City but lives in California now. She didn't want her daughter to grow up feeling like her grandparents and cousins here in the midwest were strangers. Phone conversations and video chatting fell short. Christine wanted something that could build relationships and create fun memories. Christine, together with two other tech savvy moms, founded Scoot & Doodle to address this need. Today, Scoot & Doodle creates web, mobile and social products that span time, distance and generations to help families and friends play and grow closer, anytime, anywhere. It's first product – Scoot & Doodle on Hangouts – was one of the first applications to launch on Google+ Hangouts. It is an online playspace where up to ten family members and friends, around the world, come together to hangout, play, create and share stories, art, games and memories through real-time, face-to-face video, a shared doodle pad, a toolbox of colors, brushes and stamps, and a scrapbook.

The truth, Perno said, is that this Georgia team is not good right now.
"We don't have a whole lot of grit," he said. "We don't have a whole lot of toughness. We don't throw enough strikes, and we sure have a tough time scoring runs."
Unfortunately that pretty much covers everything in baseball. And also explains the Bulldogs' problematic play against Auburn this weekend, losing three games by a combined score of 43-9.
The Bulldogs (8-12, 0-3 SEC) couldn't sustain success at the mound, or the plate, and committed six errors.
There were moments where Georgia made progress, but they were fleeting.
Georgia narrowly lost the second game 4-3. And led after three innings in the final matchup. The Bulldogs just couldn't keep it together for extended periods of play.
"Like coach was telling us, we can't do that for just four innings, we have to do that for nine innings," said catcher Carson Schilling.
Perno added more truth, saying he placed too high of expectations on his group. Before the season started, he praised the potential of this team. Now, Perno admits, he was wrong to do that.
Following Sunday's 19-3 loss, Perno huddled his team in the outfield.
"I took the expectations off of them," he said. "I said, 'We're not a very good baseball team.' If we want to see improvement, you've got to tell it like it is. Obviously, not being very tough, they can't handle expectations. So we have to relieve them of those expectations."
The expectations came in part because of 11 players on Georgia's roster who were drafted at one point in time.
"Yeah, there's talent, but what I'm, saying is we're not a very good baseball team," Perno said. "They just don't quite get it right now.
"We don't make adjustments at the plate. We make the same mistakes over and over. Pitchers, if they're missing high, they don't know how to fix it. Miss somewhere else, not the same place. We see that over and over. We continue to make errors in the middle of the field. It's insanity. You keep doing the same thing and expect to get a different result. It doesn't happen."
The statistics, like Perno's assessment, are not easy to swallow.
The Bulldogs have a team ERA of 8.22, a batting average of .287, and 29 errors.
Although current times are bleak, Georgia players say they can turn things around.
"This is not how we play," said shortstop Levi Hyams. "This is kind of a fluke. I know we're going to come together, and it's all going to come together at the same time. We're all going to pitch good, we're all going to hit good, and we're all going to play defense good. I really do believe that whole-heartedly."
One thing is for certain, Perno insists. Georgia will not quit. The players are still practicing hard and giving their best effort during games. And Perno enjoys coming to the ball field every day to coach this team, he says.
"I think their strength is they're good kids who come from good families," he said. "They won't quit. I promise you that. I don't know if we'll win, but they won't quit."
Turning momentum is the focus today, as Georgia host Furman. Perno preached the importance of having a short-term memory, reminding players to keep the Auburn series in the past, where it belongs.
"You've got to have a short-term memory to play this game," Schilling said. "Especially in this league, because everybody we're going to be playing is tough. We're a good team, and we can do it. It's just a matter of getting things straight, and executing things all around."

The Abbott government has confidential documents that show it would cost less than $150 million extra a year to keep Holden in Australia until 2025, former industry minister Kim Carr says.
For $300 million extra a year, the government could ensure Holden, Toyota and more than 160 automotive parts manufacturers stayed in Australia, according to confidential advice taken to the Rudd cabinet in July.
Senator Carr says the cabinet documents were drafted by senior officials in the Department of Industry and Innovation. This was the basis of Labor's election policy.
The claim comes as a dominant group of Coalition ministers says there is nothing that can be done to keep Holden in Australia because the company has made up its mind and ''doesn't want to be saved''.
The exact amount agreed to in the previous government's Holden deal has not been made public, and Senator Carr said he would not breach confidences by revealing it. But it was ''less than half'' of the $300 million extra a year required to keep the entire car industry in Australia until 2025, he said.
''There's absolutely no doubt that departmental officials … know the detail of the amounts required to satisfy the business case for General Motors Holden to stay in Australia,'' he said.
After the Abbott government took office in September, Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane would have been briefed on negotiations in which Holden management had agreed to stay in Australia until 2025, build a new Cruz and a new Commodore and invest a further $1 billion, Senator Carr said.
Asked whether Mr Macfarlane had seen the documents including the Holden deal, a spokeswoman told Fairfax Media ''the advice the minister receives is confidential''.
A senior Liberal source with close connections to the automotive industry said it was his understanding Senator Carr's $300 million figure was correct, and would keep Holden, Toyota and more than 160 automotive parts suppliers in Australia.
If the Abbott government wanted to secure the car industry's future until at least 2025, it would need to restore the $500 million it cut from the automotive assistance fund and commit to $300 million a year from 2016, the source said.
Mr Macfarlane has been trying to convince his cabinet colleagues to agree to extra funding for the car industry but so far has been overwhelmed by economic ''dries'' who believe the government should stop giving endless ''blank cheques'' to automakers.

Auckland Council election progress results - local boards
Progress results for the Auckland Council elections show there are changes in the composition of a number of local boards.
Four of the current local board chairs were not re-elected to their local boards. They are:
Richard Barter – Puketapapa Local Board
Michael Williams – Howick Local Board
Hine Joyce-Tahere – Papakura Local Board
Faye Storer – Waiheke Local
Three candidates – Chris Darby, Linda Cooper and John Watson - were elected to both the governing body and local board. These candidates must take their governing body seat, which means that the next highest polling candidate in the local board or local board subdivision is elected to the board.
All progress results are published at www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/elections
Preliminary results will also be posted online around 9pm this evening.
The final result will be declared on Thursday 17 October. This is the final media release from Auckland Council's election team for the weekend.

I am new to backtrack and have been setting it up over the last couple days. I am running it on a HP dv6t laptop and everything is working except for my wifi. I have tried connecting to my home network (WEP encryption) using Wicd. It appears to be working but then Wicd says "Connection failed: Unable to get IP address".
I have read some other threads and at least one other person had this same problem, but no one knew a fix. Some said it was a problem with dhclient.
I have a Alfa AWUS036H adapter and neither the Alfa or my laptops internal wifi card would connect. The Ethernet (eth0) connection works perfectly with my router and obtains an IP just fine. I have never had a problem connecting to my router with wifi in Windows.
I hope there is a simple fix for this. Please clearly explain what I need to do or if I need to provide more info because I am relatively new to Linux.

I only have time to post once this week folks…so grab a cup of joe since you are in for a long one!
High Point Furniture Market is ovah! It's always a whirlwind, it's always inspiring and it's fun–most of the time.
For interior designers and those who love the home furnishing industry, it's the big show and not to be missed.
Every manufacturer is turned out in their Sunday best hoping to be noticed by the style makers and buyers.
For some newbie vendors, it is their chance to become one of the "it brands" and I always wish them well because it takes a lot of money, a lot of energy and a lot of risk to start up a company in this fickle industry.
We managed to pack a lot into a couple of days and here's a snapshot:
I ran into Jeffrey Alan Marks from Million Dollar Decorators at the Surya Showroom while admiring the new flat weaves (that make up the awesome gown in the first picture). Luckily, the show returns in November on Bravo…It's been too long since we enjoyed the antics of Jeffrey, Mary, Kathryn, Martyn and Nathan!
Some of you might remember the party last year at Hickory Chair where I managed to creepily pet Mary McDonald's fur vest and stalk Martyn Lawrence Bullard in the span of 6 minutes. If you need a laugh today check it the party blog.
Onto some cutie tables.
I think side tables can be a bear to find and here are some new ones that caught my eye.
Beautiful- Like a jewel. Abalone inlaid top from Regina Andrews.
This was one of many animal skin inspired pieces. This gator table with the lacquered base was snappy and fun.
A fun assortment from Gabby. I totally love the linen top with nail heads.
A sweet quatrefoil number from Gabby.
Interesting benches/cubes:
Linen tufted from Gabby
A metal pouf! I ADORE this unexpected find from Regina Andrew
Metal "tufted" cube from Regina Andrew
At the end of the day there was some goofing around in the Hickory Chair Showroom with the Copeland brothers.
Nathan, my excellent rep testing chairs for me in the showroom. (Love the Charles Hassock peeking out under the "bar").
And his brother Kent- stylishly "answering" the phone in some lost and found sunglasses. Fantastic.
I have to hand it to these guys…running hundreds of folks through the showroom and answering tons of the same questions over and over again for a week all the while being pleasant and excited about the new product- it can't be easy. I'm pretty sure their dogs are barking (feet hurt) at the end of the day!
Notice the board.
My dear friend and fellow designer, Lori Mulligan and I visited Visual Comfort the next day…
We spied some gorgeous sconces:
And a great little chandy:
And I can't forget this dog lamp from Regina Andrews:
Onto the Arteriors brunch where I fell in love with purple again:
And solved the world's design problems with the iconic Barry Dixon who has a new collection for Arteriors…(that I didn't photograph because I was too busy chasing down more of the cucumber wrapped something somethings that were amaze- sorry!).
And lastly…what would this post be without a funny flirty rickshaw driver named Ben?
Ben is a courtesy driver who pedals tired Market Goers around the metropolis of High Point, NC and he gave me his number the first day so I could call him whenever I needed a ride. Ben was hilarious and successfully chauffered Lori and I around. I loved Ben since he told me that driving me around was like driving a potato chip in his rickshaw. I was that light and airy. Or maybe greasy and salty?
Here is Ben as we are "losing" to another rickshaw that passed us by. They said they were in a hurry (uh huh) so we ceded our position to them. Ben was gracious, but I could tell that this wasn't something that goes over lightly in the rickshaw world. And come to think of it…if they were in such a hurry, how about hailing a cab instead of a cart?
Lori and I in the back of the rickshaw….holding on tightly!
And finally…a note to all from the back of Ben's shirt:
Namaste my friends!
Hope your week is awesome.

Read 'Em and Sweep
Posted By Alex Belth On August 30, 2007 @ 5:29 pm In Bronx Banter | Comments Disabled
The Yankees shut-out the Red Sox [1] this afternoon, 5-0 [2], completing a timely three-game sweep. New York now trails Boston by five games, and this one got contentious before all was said and done. Chien-Ming Wang took a no-hitter into the seventh inning (thanks, in part to three stellar fielding plays by Jason Giambi), and out-dueled Curt Schilling, who was excellent for Boston. Robinson Cano drilled two solo dingers off Schilling, both to left center field, the only runs allowed by Boston's starting pitcher.
After Kevin Youkilis reached on a throwing error by Derek Jeter to start the seventh inning, Mike Lowell slapped a single to right for Boston's first hit of the game. J.D. Drew followed and hit a ground ball to Alex Rodriguez, who lunged to tag Youkilis, before throwing on to first. Drew was called out at first on a close play as Youkilis and Lowell advanced. Rodriguez had missed the tag but soon he, and manager Joe Torre, were arguing that Youkilis had run out of the baseline. (It didn't look as if he was that far out of the baseline when he passed Rodriguez, but his momentum carried him onto the infield grass a few steps later.) The umpires huddled and the call was overturned. Terry Francona, already having a tough day [3], came out, argued, and was run from the game.
I was watching the game with a friend who said, "Youkilis got himself out because he looks so awkward." Wang struck out Jason Varitek, got out of the jam, his day complete.
Joba Chamberlain did not allow a run in the eighth but didn't look particularly sharp. He could not control the slider. Still, after the Yankees scored three times in the bottom of the inning—two runs scoring on an errand throw by Varitek—Chamberlain, rules be damned, was still pitching. He retired David Ortiz on a fly out and then buzzed two consecutive pitches up and over Youkilis' head. There was no warning from the umps. Instead, Chamberlain was thrown out of the game [4]. The Red Sox players, notably, Josh Beckett, hollered at Chamberlain as the rookie pitcher walked off the field. "If that young man was trying to get our attention," Francona said later, "he did a good job of it."
Edwar Ramirez replaced him and got the final two outs to preserve the shutout.
After the game, Youkilis told reporters:
"You know, two balls going over somebody's head at 98 mph, I don't know. I didn't see any other pitches going that far out of the strike zone. Those balls were pretty close to the head. There were a couple of nods here and there. Who knows what it really meant? Ask him what his intent was. He's going to probably tell you he didn't mean to throw those. It's one of those things where only one person, or maybe a couple people on their team know.
"That's the second time. Scott Proctor hit me in the head. Coincidence? I don't know. It doesn't look good. When two balls go at your head and the guy has a zero ERA and is around the strike zone pretty good, any man is going to think there's intent to hit him in the head."
So, the Red Sox are angry about the Youkilis call in the seventh, about Chamberlain throwing at him in the ninth, and most importantly, about getting swept. Boston still has a healthy five game lead, but there is sure to be more theatrics, posturing and general huffing and puffing the next time these two teams meet in Boston in a couple of weeks. (What a cheery thought.) Welcome to the Rivalry, Mr. Chamberlain.
In the meantime, it was the best possible outcome for the Yankees. They defeated Boston's three best pitchers and swept a series that needed to be swept. Now, here's hoping they don't lose site of things this weekend against the Devil Rays.
UpdateThe Mariners rallied to tie the Indians in the top of the 9th but lost the game when Rick White issued a bases loaded walk to Kenny Lofton with two men out in the bottom of the inning. The Yanks are now alone in first place for the wildcard, tied with Seattle in the loss column.

Voltron Gets A Director
Its a robot with a lion for a fist
There's very little we can tell you about Max Makowski (apart from the fact that he's got a rather cool private eye-ish name) but he's the man tapped to direct the long-gestating Voltron movie.
What-tron? Well, we're not sure either but according to the (ahem!) journalistic resource that is Wikipedia, it's a big-screen adaptation of an 80s Japanese cartoon series about a bunch of robot lions that combine to make an even bigger robot - with a lion's mouth for a fist - and fight all sorts of evil and stuff.
Sounds a bit mental if you ask us, but in the wake of Transformers' huge success there's certainly an audience for heavy metal mayhem and production company Relativity is going ahead with plans to make a movie with a "more moderate budget, utilizing the type of cost-effective technology employed in films including 300."
Makowski, who helmed the little seen Harvey Keitel flick One Last Dance and is attached to the mooted revamp of 70s TV show Kung Fu, has yet to release any cast, plot or release date details yet but the idea of a metal mash-up done on the cheap has piqued our B-movie-loving interest.
We'll give you more info as we get it.

text: Interest and Other income (expense): Net interest expense increased by approximately $20 million from the second quarter of 2011 due to the increase in debt mainly related to the acquisition of Demag Cranes AG. Other expense in the second quarter of 2012 was $3.6 million compared to other income in the prior year quarter of $34.6 million. The change was primarily driven by income in the prior year period of approximately $40 million from the sale of shares of Bucyrus International and an accrual in the second quarter of 2012 for the guaranteed payment to the minority shareholders of Demag Cranes AG pursuant to the DPLA, which payment is not tax deductible.Taxes: The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was 35.4% as compared to an effective tax rate of 98.8% for the second quarter of 2011. The lower effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 was primarily attributable to losses that did not produce tax benefits having less of an impact in the current period than in the prior year period. Capital Structure: The Company's liquidity at June 30, 2012 decreased by approximately $205 million compared to March 31, 2012 and totaled $1,283.1 million, which comprised cash balances of $841.5 million and borrowing availability under the Company's revolving credit facilities of approximately $442 million. The decrease primarily resulted from repayment and termination of Demag Cranes AG's credit facility following the effectiveness of the DPLA, partially offset by operational cash generation. As a result of the approval of the DPLA, Terex now has access to Demag Cranes AG's cash flows. Cash provided by operations in the second quarter of 2012 was approximately $97 million and approximately $18 million in the first half of 2012. For the comparable periods in 2011, cash used in operations was approximately $142 million and $219 million. Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) was 7.9% for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting the improved income from operations during the trailing twelve month period partially offset by the increased average invested capital, primarily due to the acquisition of the Demag Cranes AG business. Debt, less cash and cash equivalents, decreased approximately $74 million in the second quarter of 2012, to $1,561.3 million, compared to the first quarter of 2012, due to positive cash flow generated. Working Capital: Working Capital as a percent of Trailing Three Month Annualized Net Sales was 27.0% at June 30, 2012, as compared to 30.5% at March 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to accelerating throughput mainly in the Construction segment and overall increased net sales in the current quarter. Backlog: Backlog for orders deliverable during the next twelve months was approximately $2,076 million at June 30, 2012, an increase of approximately 18% from June 30, 2011 and a decrease of approximately 10% from March 31, 2012. Adjusting for the translation effect of foreign currency exchange rates, backlog increased approximately 23% compared to June 30, 2011 and decreased approximately 7% from March 31, 2012. The primary driver of the year-over-year increase in backlog was the addition of the backlog related to the MHPS segment. Increased replacement of aging fleets drove an increase in AWP's backlog. This was offset by a decrease in Construction's backlog, primarily due to lower demand for trucks and material handlers globally as well as compact equipment in North America.

Belfast, 1987. Whippersnapper Martin McGartland (Sturgess) is recruited by English copper Fergus (Kingsley) to infiltrate the IRA and act as a tout, or informer. As McGartland moves up the chain of command, the stakes get higher and his exit strateg
It's hard to get your head around precisely how perilous Martin McGartland's daily life was while informing on the IRA during the peak of the Troubles. Or rather, it's hard for most of us to imagine even why anyone would ever put themselves in such extreme jeopardy, especially as McGartland (or the McGartland of Kari Skogland's script, at least) wasn't even that fond of the British. He's evidently a smart man — he must have realised there was a high chance he'd have to one day lead his life in hiding, which is precisely what happened. And not entirely in hiding, either: Kari Skogland's adaptation of McGartland's memoir opens with a brutal jolt as an older, twitchier McGartland is suddenly perforated at close range by a pistol-wielding assassin — the story playing out in flashback as blood gushes over his car seat.
It would have been tough for any actor to 'sell' the willing tout to us while also retaining the ambivalence required to stop his character's ascension into cheesy, uninteresting heroism. (Besides, there are many still out there for whom McGartland is the antithesis of hero.) It's for this reason that Fifty Dead Men Walking is, above all, Jim Sturgess' movie, and proof that the London-born 27 year-old has the grit and complexity to surpass his cuteness — something he couldn't show us in his last lead role, in casino rip-off caper 21.
After we're bludgeoned by the framing device, Sturgess' McGartland is introduced as a mulleted wideboy, flogging ripped-off clothes and trash-talking the soldiers who patrol his streets. But every step of the character's evolution — nurtured by handler Fergus (Sir Ben Kingsley, whose wig and Northern accent are initally distracting) — is taken by Sturgess with conviction and smooth naturalism. It's just a shame that Skogland herself isn't as confident, filling the screen with 'helpful' captions that name various players — even in the news footage of the likes of Gerry Adams and Ian Paisley! Such spoonfeeding softens the dramatic blows, suggesting Skogland doesn't trust her audience to follow what's going on, when it's the movie's emotional heft, rather than its presentation of the facts, that should give it the requisite power.
[We have been contacted directly by Martin McGartland who has asked us to clarify a number of points in relation to the film "Fifty Dead Men Walking" [which we reviewed in our May edition / above and] which was referred to in our interview with Jim Sturgess in our April edition.
Mr McGartland has asked us to make it clear that he does not endorse the film, which was only inspired by his book of the same name, rather than an adaption of it. He has also referred us to the disclaimers at the beginning and the end of the film which read as follows:
"This film is inspired by the book "fifty dead men walking" written by Martin McGartland and Nicholas Davies. Some of the events, characters and scenes in the film have been changed. Martin McGartland and Nicholas Davies are the joint authors of the book "fifty dead men walking"." The screenplay to the film is inspired by the book although many aspects and characters have been changed, the screenplay was not written or approved by Martin McGartland or Nicholas Davies and is not a reproduction or adaptation of the book or any substantial part of it.]
Think Donnie Brasco, with the IRA instead of the Mafia. Jim Sturgess dominates with a star-making turn, although some stylistic slip-ups let him down a little.

Office property was one of the surprise packets of the reporting season as it overtook long-time favourite retail as the highest growth sector.
Many of the largest listed groups are back on the hunt for acquisitions to bolster their portfolios but at the same time they are cautious about the state of leasing markets.
Colonial First State Global Asset Management's managing director of property, Angus McNaughton, told an investor briefing: "In the office market, the two-speed economy continues.
"There is strong demand for office space in Brisbane and Perth, albeit there is some supply coming. Concerns over global economic growth do continue to weigh on the Sydney and Melbourne markets."
But in this reporting season, at least, all of the major Australian office landlords reported flat or positive like-for-like net operating income growth, Merrill Lynch noted.
The sector picked up the pace, averaging growth of 3.5 per cent in the 2012 financial year against just 2.9 per cent in 2011.
Cromwell Property Group, a renowned active asset manager, was the top performer on this score, while Stockland lagged with flat like-for-like net operating income growth as it was affected by asset sales.
Occupancy for the listed groups' Australian portfolios slipped to 96 per cent.
The Australand Property Group was a standout as its towers were in effect full, while GPT Group's occupancy slipped to 93.6 per cent, although this was influenced by its completion of landmark Brisbane tower 111 Eagle Street, which was 82 per cent committed.
GPT Group chief executive Michael Cameron noted the focus on the Sydney prime market, and particularly the impact of supply peaking in 2015 following completion of the first two towers at Barangaroo. But he noted leasing deals were still being struck, with investment bank Citigroup signing a heads of agreement for a new 10-year lease.
"The outlook across the CBD markets is mixed, though, with demand in Melbourne slowing quicker than expected, Sydney being impacted by the downsizing in the financial services sector, whilst Brisbane is still experiencing positive net absorption," Mr Cameron said.
Like most he was still upbeat. "We expect Sydney rental growth to remain steady just below 2 per cent with the occupancy levels continuing to increase," he said.
Merrill Lynch noted that Australand had the most significant near- term expiry risk with 26 per cent of office leases expiring in 2013 whereas Challenger Diversified Property Group had the least.
The stubbornly high level of incentives offered by landlords to attract tenants was troubling to property groups. Commonwealth Property Office Fund fund manager Charles Moore told investors that "the brutal reality is in the marketplace that we're in, the pool of incentives will continue to increase".
A number of groups noted that incentives in Sydney ranged between 25 per cent to 30 per cent and Mr Moore said tenant demand in that city and Melbourne "continues to be patchy".
Stockland chief executive commercial property John Schroder said there was "no question" office markets remain a challenge. He also nominated the Sydney CBD as "most challenging".
DEXUS Property Group chief executive Darren Steinberg admitted valuers were taking a more subdued view of market rents and short-term growth. But he argued that with the Australian office capitalisation rate spreads over bond rates being the highest on record, "we expect further cap rate tightening in quality properties over the next 12 to 18 months".

Washington DC (SPX) Jul 23, 2014
Inspired by science fiction, three bowling ball-size free-flying Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) have been flying inside the International Space Station since 2006. These satellites provide a test bed for development and research, each having its own power, propulsion, computer, navigation equipment, and physical and electrical connections for hardware and sensors for various experiments.
Aboard Orbital Sciences Corp.'s second contracted commercial resupply mission to the space station, which arrived to the orbital laboratory July 16, NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, sent two Google prototype Project Tango smartphones that astronauts will attach to the SPHERES for technology demonstrations inside the space station.
By connecting a smartphone to the SPHERES, it becomes "Smart SPHERES, " a more "intelligent" free-flying robot with built-in cameras to take pictures and video, sensors to help conduct inspections, powerful computing units to make calculations and Wi-Fi connections to transfer data in real time to the computers aboard the space station and at mission control in Houston.
For the first Smart SPHERES experiments in 2011, a Nexus S was launched to the station on the final flight of space shuttle Atlantis. For the upcoming experiments, the features of the Project Tango phone add new capabilities to increase the options of what researchers can do with the SPHERES platform.
In a two-phase experiment, astronauts will manually use the smartphones to collect visual data using the integrated custom 3-D sensor to generate a full 3-D model of their environment. After the map and its coordinate system are developed, a second activity will involve the smartphones attached to the SPHERES, becoming the free-flying Smart SPHERES.
As the free-flying robots move around the space station from waypoint to waypoint, utilizing the 3-D map, they will provide situational awareness to crewmembers inside the station and flight controllers in mission control. These experiments allow NASA to test vision-based navigation in a very small mobile product.
"NASA uses robots for research and mission operations; just think about the rovers on Mars or the robotic arm on the ISS or space shuttle," said Chris Provencher, manager of the Smart SPHERES project.
"Inside the ISS space is limited, so it's really exciting to see technology has advanced enough for us to demonstrate the use of small, mobile robots to enhance future exploration missions."
Ultimately it is the hope of researchers that these devices will perform housekeeping-type tasks, such as video surveys for safety and configuration audits, noise level measurements, air flow measurements, and air quality measurements, that will offset work the astronauts currently perform.
The SPHERES facility is managed under NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate, Advanced Exploration Systems division. The Smart SPHERES project and SPHERES facility are managed under the Intelligent Robotics Group at NASA Ames, with participation from NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

The Coral Thief by Rebecca Stott
A young scientist becomes involved with a mysterious band of antiquities robbers in the heady atmosphere of nineteenth-century Paris. It's a hot August night in 1815, a few weeks after Napoleon's surrender to the Allied Forces at Waterloo. Daniel Connor, a brilliant and ambitious student from Edinburgh Medical School, is travelling to Paris by mail coach carrying rare historical specimens and letters of introduction to the illustrious Professor Cuvier at the Jardin des Plantes, a botanical and zoological garden on the banks of the Seine. In the coach he encounters a strikingly tall dark-haired woman with heretical ideas about transmutation and the origins of life. When Daniel wakes at dawn, she has disappeared, taking his precious gifts with her. Arriving in Paris, Daniel makes friends with a fellow medical student, Fin. Gradually Paris works its spell on Daniel so that he begins to feel that he is metamorphosing into someone he no longer recognises. He discovers that the mysterious ... read more

Add Bears MLB Brian Urlacher to the (short) list of folks who wouldn't mind seeing the lockout drag deeper into the summer. That's because if labor peace isn't achieved by Aug. 1, the league won't force the Bears to travel to London in October to play the Buccaneers.
"I don't understand why they do that," Urlacher told ESPN 1000 in Chicago on Thursday. "I am not excited to go to London, I will say that."
Officials at NFL headquarters might beg to differ in light of their efforts to grow the game internationally. However given the logistics and nuances of playing abroad, the league will move the game to Tampa if no new CBA is struck in the next five weeks.
And playing at the Bucs' Raymond James Stadium, which the players routinely rate as having one of the league's best playing fields, would suit Urlacher just fine given his feelings about Soldier Field's sod, which he deems a "disaster."
"The weather I think is the biggest advantage we have against teams that don't play in our weather," he said when asked about any perceived home-field advantage in The Windy City, one he thinks would be bolstered by a new playing surface.
"But we're a fast defense. You put us on that FieldTurf eight home games a year? We're going to be really fast. You put (DE Julius) Peppers on that turf? (KR Devin) Hester, with all those cuts on turf? (WR Johnny) Knox? All those guys. We're going to be a little better, I think. Faster."
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

In a message dated 11/6/2003 11:59:09 AM Pacific Standard Time,
I have had two tests done , the mtdna by Oxford Ancestors and a print test
by Familytree. The results were Haplogroup H with one mutation (16288)
and 100% Indo-European in the print test. Does that rule out the R1b result
or is that another test altogether? As you can tell I am just learning about
all of this. Thanks Jackie
I am not one of the experts here, but the answer to your question is that R1b
is a male Y-DNA Haplogroup. If you are a female, you do not have Y-DNA.

Dr. Jennifer Tremblay grew up on an Illinois farm, knowing from age 7 that she wanted to become a veterinarian.
So when she established Littleton Paws, South Jeffco's newest veterinary clinic and her first private venture, she had a pretty good idea about what she wanted in the building's design.
Legislation that would increase domestic mining of rare earth metals will be among U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman first proposed bills in the new congressional session, a reaction to China's reduction in exports planned for 2011.
The metals, a group of 17 chemical elements, are used commercially in applications ranging from military weapons to hybrid car batteries.
A South Jeffco doctor is among the few physicians to begin offering a controversial diet program in which patients consume only 500 calories a day and give themselves hormone injections in hopes of losing up to a pound a day.
Dr. Julie Gelman, who recently opened a medical-spa clinic in the Swedish Southwest Healthpark, provides a monitoring service to patients on the hCG diet, a protocol established in the 1950s that has seen a dramatic resurgence over the past few years.
It would take more than $500 million to upgrade schools, close some schools, build new ones and move students around to get the most effective use out of Jefferson County School District buildings, district staff told the school board last Thursday night.
The proposed five-year program, called the Preliminary Facilities Master Plan, could not be implemented without additional funding from voters. The district is facing a $26 million budget deficit and has no money to upgrade buildings.
Achieving physical fitness is likely the most common new year's resolution, and Foothills Parks & Recreation is holding two weeks of free classes in response to the annual surge in exercise.
During Fitness Frenzy, which lasts through Jan. 15, participants can join classes ranging from spinning to water aerobics.
"The Fitness Frenzy gives them a primer, a taste of specific things," said Foothills executive director Ron Hopp. "Because of that, they come back and sign up."
Quitting smoking is one of the most popular new year's resolutions, and the Jefferson County public health department usually sees a spike in demand for help shortly after New Year's Day.
And though the county has its own tobacco prevention initiative, it does not offer a formal smoking-cessation program. Instead, the department refers residents to other resources, namely the Colorado Quit Line and the Jefferson Center for Mental Health.
Charlie Marchese took everything that Chatfield could throw at him for the game's first 53 minutes. But it was in the 54th minute that the Chargers' Nate Grush finally cracked through against the Columbine goalie.
His rebound goal off a Kyle Davis shot with 2 minutes, 24 seconds left in overtime helped Chatfield score its second win over rival Columbine this season, 2-1, on Jan. 6 at the Edge Ice Arena.
DENVER — Maybe it was Columbine's defense, which set up the offense. Maybe it was Columbine's patience on offense. Or maybe it was that host Thomas Jefferson's vanilla, inept offense never got going.
Whatever the reason, the Lady Rebels' 48-8 rout at Thomas Jefferson High School on Jan. 8 was about as one-sided of a game as there could be.
The outcome was never in doubt, even after starting guard Jen Peterson banked home the game's opening basket 57 seconds in.
ARVADA — Going back to work or school after vacation can be really tough both mentally and physically, but the Dakota Ridge girls swimming team proved that it wasn't bogged down as it won its meet with host Pomona on Jan. 8.
The Lady Eagles won the match 101-75 at Meyers Pool, taking first place in eight out of 12 events. It would have been nine if not for a questionable disqualification of sophomore Kitty Nester in the 100-yard backstroke, thus giving the win to Pomona's Savannah Millard, who had a time of 1 minute, 12.93 seconds.
Tyler Boos, Sean McCarty and Cole Sweeney scored two goals each and Heritage blasted 39 shots en route to an 11-1 rout of Dakota Ridge on Jan. 7 at the South Suburban South Rink.
Dakota Ridge's lone goal came off the stick of Anthony Fonte with 2 minutes, 19 seconds left in regulation. Matt Scinski assisted on the tally.

SAN ANTONIO - Whataburger today announced that the legendary Patty Melt has returned for a limited time. The Patty Melt is available Monday, July 11 at 3 p.m. through Monday, August 15 at Whataburger's more than 720 restaurants across 10 states.
A longtime customer favorite, the delicious Patty Melt is made with two fresh, never frozen American beef patties, two slices of Monterey Jack cheese, grilled onions, and Whataburger's famous Creamy Pepper Sauce. And it's served between two thick slices of signature Texas Toast.
"Whataburger fans all have their favorite limited time menu items, but the Patty Melt is by far one of our most popular," said Rich Scheffler, Whataburger Restaurants, LP Group Director of Marketing. "We're excited to bring back this tasty sandwich this summer for all those fans who crave it year-round."
Whataburger's Patty Melt, a sandwich that's popularity sparked its very own Facebook page, was first introduced as a limited time menu item in July 2008. Its crowd-pleasing status is evident on the customer-created Facebook page, which includes quotes such as, "In my heaven, you fall from the sky like rain down into my belly" and "If I were stranded on a desert island, and could have only one food, it would be you."
The Patty Melt is available as a combo meal with a drink and French fries; customers can also substitute fries for a side salad. As with all burgers at Whataburger, the Patty Melt can be customized just like you like it 24 hours a day.
For nutritional information on the Patty Melt or any other item on the Whataburger menu, customers can visit www.whataburger.com.
Whataburger has focused on its fresh, made-to-order burgers and friendly customer service since 1950 when Harmon Dobson opened the first Whataburger as a small roadside burger stand in Corpus Christi, Texas. Dobson gave his restaurant a name he hoped to hear customers say every time they took a bite of his made-to-order burgers: "What a burger!" Within the first week, people lined up around the block for his 25 cent, all-American beef burgers served on five-inch buns. Today, the company is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, with more than 700 locations in 10 states with sales of more than $1 billion annually. Visit www.whataburger.com for more information on the company or become a fan on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/whataburger.
