The beleaguered Sauber team appears to have secured its immediate F1 future with the announcement of a new partnership with a group of Russian investors.
As confirmed by Peter Sauber over the weekend [see separate story], the Swiss team has been talking to potential Russian saviours over the past few weeks, but those named in Monday's confirmation are not necessarily the same as carried by the F1 rumour mill.
Instead, the Investment Cooperation International Fund, the State Fund of Development of North-West Russian Federation and the National Institute of Aviation Technologies will partner with Sauber to 'jointly develop high-technological solutions', as well as promote F1 in Russia, where the world championship is finally due to make its debut next season.
The official announcement claims that 'this extensive co-operation will showcase Russian innovation at the pinnacle of motorsport. At the same time, the Sauber F1 Team will have a solid foundation to increase its competitiveness on a long-term basis'.
Full details of the co-operation between the four parties will be 'communicated at a later time', according to the team, leaving the question of whether the partnership brings financial as well as technical rewards to Hinwil, but the initial communiqu? confirms that the National Institute of Aviation Technologies, one of the leading scientific research institutions in Russia, will bring 'advanced know-how from front-end Russian scientists and engineers' with the objective of opening up new perspectives and revenue streams by commercialising jointly-developed technologies'.
Meanwhile, the Investment Cooperation International Fund (ICIF), established with the support of the administration of the President, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Ministry of Regional Development of the Russian Federation, 'contributes to the development of specific technology programmes and technical upgrades of the industry'.
The State Fund of Development of the North-West is a not-for-profit organisation established to finance programmes, projects and activities supporting the economic, scientific and cultural heritage of the North-West region of the Russian Federation.
Whatever else it achieves, the partnership hopes to bring a benefit for Russian talent behind the wheel, with confirmation of a development programme for the up-and-coming Sergey Sirotkin, who currently competes for ISR in the top tier of the Renault World Series. The announcement claims that the programme will 'prepare him as a racing driver for the team in 2014', potentially spelling the end of the road for either Nico Hulkenberg or Esteban Gutierrez.

Seve Ballesteros has pulled out of a visit to St Andrews for next month's 150th Open on medical advice.
The 53-year-old former Ryder Cup captain has had health problems since suffering a brain tumour in 2008.
"I am aware that there might be people who have been preparing their trip to encourage and cheer me up," he said.
"I do not want to disappoint anyone at the last minute and after listening to the doctors I have taken the difficult decision not to travel to St Andrews."
Ballesteros, who won the second of his three Open titles on the Old Course in 1984, was one of 32 former champions invited to play a four-hole challenge the day before the tournament starts.
Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Nick Faldo are amongst those who will be taking part.
Meanwhile, Ballesteros's fellow Spaniard Jose Maria Olazabal looks set to return to action after a long-running battle with rheumatoid pain.
The two-time Masters champion is preparing to make his first tournament appearance since last October after entering next week's French Open in Paris.
"He still can't practise as much as he would like to, but he feels he is progressing," said manager Sergio Gomez.
"He is much better than two or three months ago and, as he said to me, he is enjoying golf again."
The 44-year-old, who was left fearing he might end up in wheelchair when he was forced out of action for 18 months in the mid-1990s, has had his playing schedule severely restricted in recent years.

MLB notebook: Baker set to manage Reds on Monday
Dusty Baker is set to rejoin the Cincinnati Reds in St. Louis after missing 11 games because of a mini-stroke, and he will manage the team during the final series of the regular season.
Interim manager Chris Speier said Baker was set to meet the Reds in St. Louis on Sunday night after their game against the Pirates at PNC Park. Cincinnati opens a three-game series against the Cardinals on Monday.
"It'll be just like he never missed a beat," said Speier, the bench coach.
The Reds have clinched the NL Central title and are in a race with Washington for the league's best record. Cincinnati won seven of its 11 games without Baker.
Speier said Baker was setting the team's lineups, and he called Sunday morning to tweak.
"Everybody has to understand that I'm just following suit here," Speier said. "It hasn't been easy to take over something when you've got the mainstay of this organization going through what he went through."
Trout is 1st rookie with 30 HR, 40 SB
Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout is the first major league rookie with 30 home runs and 40 stolen bases.
Trout hit his 30th homer Sunday, a two-out solo shot in the seventh inning at Texas off Yu Darvish in the first game of a doubleheader.
The 21-year-old had a leadoff walk to start the game, then quickly got his 48th stolen base.
Only two players in the majors have had 30 homers and 50 stolen bases: Eric Davis in 1987 and Barry Bonds in 1990.
Yankees' Teixeira set to face Red Sox
Mark Teixeira is expected to rejoin the New York Yankees on Monday to face the Boston Red Sox in the final series of the regular season.
Teixeira injured his left calf Aug. 27. He returned Sept. 8 at Baltimore but aggravated the injury diving into first base on a game-ending groundout and has not played since.
Teixeira played in an instructional league game Saturday in Florida. He'll be checked by a doctor Monday and, if there are no problems, will be cleared to play. Manager Joe Girardi said Sunday that he'd consult with Teixeira about whether to start him at first base or designated hitter.
Infielder Jayson Nix is expected to miss 10 to 14 days with a strained left hip.
Around the majors
Robin Ventura made it clear Sunday: The first-year manager plans on being around for the remaining two years on his contract with the White Sox. He raised a few eyebrows Saturday when asked whether he could see himself managing as long as Walter Alston or Tommy Lasorda. Ventura said he couldn't and was just hoping to get through this season. He clarified his answer Sunday, saying he plans to be around for two more years if the White Sox want him. ... Rangers reliever Mike Adams is out for the rest of the season and questionable for the playoffs because of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, a condition that causes numbness and tingling in the fingers.

The Capistrano Unified School District said Friday that Bernice Ayer Middle School in San Clemente will deal with students involved in what the Sheriff's Department described as "horseplay" with an AirSoft gun aboard a school bus.
Marcus Walton, chief communications officer for the district, said the students would face discipline in accord with district policies for any violation of CUSD policy or the Education Code.
Further, he issued an appeal to parents: "We would like to remind parents that bringing any weapon, real or fake, to school or onto a school bus is not only a violation of state and district policy but puts the safety of our students and staff members at risk."
Deputies were called to a bus stop at 8:17 a.m. Thursday at Max Berg Plaza Park at the corner of El Prado and El Portal after a parent reported seeing a boy on the bus point a gun at a student outside the bus.
Authorities said a student took an AirSoft pistol – a replica that shoots plastic BBs – aboard the bus and gave it to another student who pointed it at a third student.
Sheriff's Lt. Paul D'Auria, chief of police services in San Clemente, said the bus was kept at the scene while a team investigated the incident. He said it turned out not to be gang-related.
"It was more horseplay than anything else," D'Auria said Thursday afternoon after reviewing the circumstances. "Most likely it will be dealt with administratively with the school rather than criminally. We did take a report. I would say charges are unlikely."
The students were not identified, and Walton said Friday that the district cannot publicly discuss discipline of individual students because of privacy concerns and state and federal laws. He also cited "the general principle that children should be allowed to make mistakes without being publicly embarrassed."
AirSoft guns, as defined by hobbytron.com, are replicas designed to be used in games in which participants wear thick clothing and protective gear, especially around the eyes.
The guns shoot plastic BBs that "travel at speeds much lower than real bullets and, although a bit painful when hit by one of these pellets, they cannot kill someone nor cause heavy-bleeding injuries," Hobbytron says. "Even though AirSoft is considered a toy gun, safety precautions should still be taken into account when playing with these replicas."

The ACT government will move to create a new independent authority to oversee legal reporting requirements for child abuse and neglect, ahead of the completion of the royal commission.
Under the plan put forward by Chief Minister Andrew Barr, organisations with responsibility for children will be legally required to report any allegations of abuse or neglect to a new statutory authority. The move is designed to end internal reporting and handling mechanisms, previously used by churches and other organisations seeking to handle abuse allegations outside legal structures.
The scheme would be based on systems already in place in NSW, which the government believes would bring effective reporting requirements to the territory and complement measures already in place in the ACT.
The proposed scheme would to increase statutory responsibility by creating a new independent oversight body armed with powers to provide further protection for children and young people.
It is also designed to provide additional assurances to the community that all investigations into allegations of child abuse and neglect against employees would be carefully monitored and reviewed.
Mr Barr said the plan was designed in response to the ongoing Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The government will conduct a month-long community consultation on the plan.
"The commission has already uncovered a number of shortfalls in the investigation and reporting of abuse or neglect against children around Australia, and it's important the ACT government has the best possible system in place to protect our children," Mr Barr said.
"We are determined to ensure our children remain safe. A new ACT scheme is important in developing the right levels of scrutiny on organisations investigating the conduct of employees in relation to allegations of child abuse.
"Under this scheme no organisation will be able to sweep allegations under the carpet."
The royal commission's final report is due to be handed to the federal government by December 2017.
Leonie Sheedy, the chief executive officer of the Care Leavers Australia Network, said the government should engage with victims advocates as part on consultation, running until March 18.
"It is imperative that organisations and institutions are totally removed from hearing these allegations of abuse.
"They won't be independent in any way. They will set out to protect their own and their organisations, as they have proven to do so over many years and decades."
Ms Sheedy said the standards and integrity of the new organisation would depend on who is chosen to lead it.
"It sounds very promising but I would have to wait to see who they select to do this job and what mechanisms they have to support people going to the new authority. It sounds like a step forward," she said.
Ms Sheedy will meet with representatives of federal Attorney-General George Brandis in Canberra on Thursday to discuss the need for a national redress scheme for victims of child abuse.
The federal government is opposed to a national redress scheme, which it says would be too expensive and time consuming to implement.
Ms Sheedy said some victims, including those children raised in orphanages and foster homes, had been abused in more than one jurisdiction and needed consistent national standards of redress.

Affordable Greenhouses
Growing soybeans has become increasingly popular with home gardeners. These
warm weather plants are native to Africa, Asia, and Australia. Soybeans are
gaining popularity here, due to their health benefits.
Soybeans are high in fiber, protein, and nutritious. Soybeans are rich in
vitamins A, B1, B2, and C, and contain high levels of Calcium and Iron. Perhaps
best of all, they taste good ,too.
Home gardeners find it is easy to grow soybeans. Soybean plants are grown
just like any other bush bean, and produce high yields.
Days to Maturity:
Soybean plants require about 85 days to harvest.
Try succession planting, for continuous harvest over several weeks.
Sowing Soybean Seeds:
Plant seeds outdoors after the last frost date for your area. Soil should
be warm before planting.
Sow Soybean seeds 2 inches apart, in rows 20" to 24" apart. If your
garden space is limited, plant the seeds in double rows. Water
well after planting, and a second time two to four days later, only if there
has been no rain. Side dress the rows with general purpose fertilizer during
How to Grow Soybeans:
Soybean plants are easy to grow. They grow best in full sun and in warm weather.
They prefer a rich soil, high in nitrogen. Soil should be kept moist for
optimum growth.
Soybean plants grow best in rich soil. Add manure and compost prior to planting.
Fertilizer regularly during the growth period.
Harvest soybeans when the pods are full.
Did you know? Soybean plants are rich in nutrients. After the harvest,
put plants into the compost pile, or turn them into your soil.

Insects and Pests:
Like other beans, soybeans are susceptible to a variety of insects, most
notably beetles. They can be treated with Sevin and many organic repellents.
Rabbits eat the the tender new leaves. If there are rabbits in your area,
a rabbit fence is not a nicety, it is a necessity. They will devastate a
row of beans in a hurry, eating the tender new leaves. As new ones develop,
they will come back for more.
Diseases of Soybeans:
Bacterial and wilt diseases are common among the Bean family. This plant
disease arrives with summer heat and humidity. This often occurs just before,
or during, the ripening of the crop. Fungicides are recommended in areas
of high heat and humidity.
Plant Problems - Diagnosis,
causes and cures for many common plant problems.
Soybeans are not a hardy plant. They are susceptible to cold and frost. Hold
off planting until a few days before all danger of frost is past. In the
fall, cover the crop on nights when the temperature is expected to go below
40 degrees.
Cooking Soybeans
The beans are edible. The pods are not edible.
Boil bean in lightly salted water for 4-5 minutes to blanch, or 20 minutes
to fully cook. Discard the pods after removing the beans. The beans
can be frozen after blanching, then heated in the microwave later, for a
quick, nutritious snack.. They can also be canned.

A short drama production where a misunderstanding
leads to murder.
Working as a team went very well for the vast majority of the time. Our view was that the thing to do is to be sure everyone knows what is happening and what part they are to play, not just the actors but the crew as well. When it does go wrong, it is difficult not to get angry and lose control of the situation. Fortunately this did not happen often; most of the time we thoroughly enjoyed the whole event.You can read the whole story of the production of A Bad Day at the Office on the IAC website:

Compton and Chandlers Ford II v Wherwell.
Wherwell travelled to looking to make it back to back wins in this fragmented season. Overnight rain had caught out the home side and the covers had not been used meaning there was a drying surface making the idea of bowling first highly inviting. Nathan Young called correct and had no hesitation inviting the home side to bat.
Stuart Taylor and Craig Beckingham took the new ball and immediately batting looked difficult with inconsistent bounce and pace troubling the batters and it was Taylor who made the breakthrough having the opener adjudged caught behind with the score struggling to stay ahead of the overs.
A brief flurry pushed the scoring rate to nearly three an over and the home side looked set for a reasonable score with wickets in hand but Wherwell's change bowlers were all on song and the home side stalled and stuttered from 51-2 to 106 all out. Nathan Young with 3-32 was the most successful bowler and two wickets a piece for Matt Guilfoyle and Russel Ingrem plus a superb run out by the latter combination showed how tight Wherwell have become as a team backing up each other in the field and placing bodies on the line.
With a low target Beckingham and Jeremy Wickham opened and Beckingham looked in a hurry but went for a shot too many and was caught at point. Gladwyn too looked to be positive but perished in the same manner. This brought Taylor to the crease off the back of a league ton in his previous match and what had looked a difficult pitch matched with tidy bowling suddenly appeared to be a carpet with gentle throw downs. Taylor defended his first ball then hit his second for six which set a tone for an onslaught that took the game away from the home side. With the watchful Wickham supporting Taylor smashed the ball to all parts and fell for 48 to a catch on the boundary.
Wickham too perished going for an out of character slog sweep, but Ingrem completed the win with six wickets and 26 overs remaining.

A NEW bridge could be built over one of York's rivers as part of plans to redevelop an unloved office block and regenerate a city-centre street.
City of York Council and developers are looking at linking Piccadilly with the Eye of York through a River Foss pedestrian and cycle crossing, while proposals for refurbishing nearby Ryedale House – which may become riverside apartments - are close to being unveiled.
The council said "positive" talks have been held about both potential projects. Recent Piccadilly schemes have seen work begin on converting the White Swan Hotel into apartments and shops, while the derelict Reynard's Garage site is set to become a hotel and the Banana Warehouse building and two neighbouring shops will be replaced by 37 apartments and two new stores.
A six-monthly council update on major development projects said a planning application for "residential reuse" and redesign of Ryedale House is expected shortly, and "creative discussions" have taken place about a new bridge over the Foss to Castle car park.
It said: "This, together with planned improvements to the streets and junctions as part of the Reinvigorate York initiative, will contribute well to the regeneration of the area."
Coun Dave Merrett, cabinet member for planning, said: "We are having positive discussions around ensuring any redevelopment carefully addresses the impact of Ryedale House on the Eye of York, in the vicinity of the Castle Museum and Clifford's Tower.
"These discussions include the welcome possibility of improved pedestrian and cycle linkages away from the inner ring road".
A council spokeswoman said the authority was in formal talks with a developer and "details are still subject to negotiations".

Hey, whaddya know? There are more members of the San Francisco 49ers talking about the New York Giants. This time it comes by way of offensive tackle Joe Staley, who suggested the 26-3 loss suffered to Big Blue in week six of this season was merely because his team "just wasn't on."
"We just weren't on that game, Staley said. "I think it was a learning experience, it was still early in the season, we were still trying to get an identity as an offense as to who we were. It was a game we kind of put to bed pretty quickly. They could have replaced everybody on offense after that game."
Naturally it had nothing to do with the Giants playing better than the 49ers that day, it was just merely a case of San Francisco being off their game. Right.
Granted, Staley's comments aren't nearly as bad as some of the excuses we've heard from other 49ers players, and yes, this is a partial product of questions they are being asked, but the NFC Champions have spent an awful lot of their first week in New Orleans talking about the Giants. First it was Frank Gore, then Mario Manningham and more recently, Kyle Williams.
At this point, everyone gets it. The 49ers are great. The Giants are lucky. You're going to show them this time. Rah rah. But perhaps, and this is just coming out of left field, the 49ers should pay more attention to the Baltimore Ravens and a little less attention to the New York Giants.

The City of Palmerston North water supply comes from Turitea dam and four bores (Keith Street, Roberts Line, Papaioea Park and Takaro Park).
On a typical day we supply approximately 29,000 m3 of water to the residents of PN. Of this, typically 60% is supplied from Turitea with the remaining being supplied from the four bores to boost the supply during times of peak demand.
The Turitea water source is surface water with the catchment being the Turitea Reserve. The source of discolouration is due to the presence of Iron and Manganese in the source water.
The water is piped from the water treatment plant to two storage reservoirs at Ngahere Park. Prior to 2002 town was fed one trunk main (the 525) from the reservoirs to the Fitzherbert Bridge, where several 'smaller' mains distribute the water to the city. In 2002 a second (duplicate) main was commissioned to boost the supply during peak demand periods (the 600 main was constructed). The 600 feeds the city from the Ngahere Park reservoirs to the Fitzherbert Bridge also.
Over the years Iron and Manganese deposits have formed within the mains and during periods of peak demand (especially during summer) the increased flow and velocities in the network effectively scour (pick up) these deposits and distribute them through the network and ultimately they appear as discoloured water.
The deposits occur when the residual chlorine in the water oxidises the Iron and Manganese and small deposits form. The water is chlorinated to meet the requirements of the New Zealand Drinking Water Standards.
In order to improve the water quality City Networks commissioned a project to build the swab chamber at Centennial Drive Reserve. The purpose of this was to place a foam swab into the mains at the reservoirs and using water pressure drive the swab down through the mains and discharge the resultant discoloured water into the Manawatū River. The chamber was designed to capture the swab.
Only one main can be swabbed per event. To swab we need to shut down one main from supply and rely on the other main and the bore supplies. In order to discharge the discoloured water from the swabbing chamber into the Manawatū River the PNCC was required to get a Resource Consent from Horizons Regional Council. This consent sets certain conditions that must occur in the Manawatū River before the discharge can occur.
Conditions 3 to 5 dictate the river conditions and time of night the swabbing must occur at:
Condition 3:
"The discharge to the Manawatū River must only occur when the flow in the Manawatū River, measured at the Teachers College flow recording station at map reference NZMS T24:331-892 and NZTopo BM34:230-274 is equal to or greater than 100 cubic metres per second (100 m3/s)."
Condition 4:
"The discharge to the Manawatū River must only occur when the water turbidity of the Manawatū River, as measured at the Teacher's College flow recording station at map reference NZMS T24:331-892 and NZTopo BM34:230-274, is equal to or greater than 20 Formazin Turbidity Units (FTU)."
Condition 5:
"The discharge to the Manawatū River is restricted to during night time, defined as the time between one hour after sunset and one hour before sunrise."

UIS student Denton-McCaster charged with Mechanicsburg murder
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

UIS student Juatasha Denton-McCaster, 22, charged with three counts of first-degree murder of her husband, Norman McCaster, is in the Sangamon County Jail on a $5 million bond.
Denton-McCaster has also been charged with dismembering a body, concealment of a homicidal death, and obstruction of justice.
The charges were filed this week. Denton-McCaster attended her first court hearing Wednesday.
Authorities identified Norman McCaster, 22, as the man whose headless, handless and footless was body found dumped in a field in rural Mechanicsburg in late October.
Derek Schnapp, UIS director of public relations, confirmed Wednesday that Denton-McCaster was an undergraduate in liberal studies.
Schnapp said that all persons, faculty, staff or student, who pose a possible threat to campus security are placed under review by the administration. For students, this follows the steps in the Disciplinary Code under Polices and Procedures from Student Affairs.
He also said that there is a different type of review for cases like this one that occur off-campus than there would be for crimes that take place on-campus. "When it comes to off-campus incidents, outside law enforcement and other entities are involved with the process and how the individual is dealt with," said Schnapp. No matter if a crime occured on-campus or off, the administration may look into the case and decide whether that individual should be allowed on campus, or what risk to security may be involved.
Reviews may those charged with crimes followed through to if a person receives a conviction. On a case-by-case basis, the administration will determine if a person's charges need to be reviewed and if the person should be subject to suspension or expulsion from the university. Schnapp also stated that the university cannot disclose if a student is under review by the administration due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

If the plot of Under the Skin happened in real life, most red-blooded men would be dead at the hands of Scarlett Johansson. The beauty plays Laura, an alien traveling through Scotland and slowly working her way through the country's male population. Though she's using her feminine wiles to get them alone, she's not really interested in their bodies. Rather, she just wants to ship them off to her home planet to be studied or prodded or whatever it is aliens do to humans nowadays.
This trailer alone has some seriously bizarre touches, leading me to believe director Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast) is a student of David Lynch. Not much of the plot is given away, but it starts by looking into a black abyss, and at one point, there is a close-up of an eyeball. I'm almost totally confident there's a naked person somewhere and I can guarantee Johansson in lingerie. The movie opened at the Telluride Film Festival, and though there's no US release date yet, you can check out the teaser after the jump.

If you're Tom Bombadil's agent, you'll know full well that not all of J.R.R. Tolkien's characters have made the journey from the written page to the silver screen. The Hobbit may be a shorter, more linear tale than the Rings trilogy, but, faithful as he is to the spirit of Middle-earth, Peter Jackson has never let sentiment stand in the way of story. Even with The Hobbit split in two, not every gnarled goblin, gleaming mattock or tankard of miruvor will make the final cut. There are some certainties - Smaug's assault on Lake-town, Bilbo's arrival in Rivendell and a whole lot of walking - but will all that talking wildlife make the cut? We've gazed into our palantír to guess at what will – and probably won't – appear in the two movies.
Key Tolkien quote: "'Dawn take you all, and be stone to you!' said a voice that sounded like William's. But it wasn't. For just at that moment the light came over the hill, and there was a mighty twitter in the branches. William never spoke for he stood turned to stone as he stooped; and Bert and Tom were stuck like rocks as they looked at him. And there they stand to this day… "
Surely the first recorded example of live tweeting, Gandalf's ventriloquism baffles a small band of trolls. Not the smartest of creatures, the monsters are so befuddled they forget about the whole-getting-turned-to-stone-business and don't scurry back underground as the sun rises. They're encased in rock, and, as the sharp-eyed will know, pop up again in their stony guises when Frodo and co. stumble upon them in Fellowship Of The Ring. Tolkien used the trolls as a comic device – they speak in Cockney accents, are partial to a foaming ale and are thicker than two short planks sawn in half – but Peter Jackson might be tempted to drop the music-hall campness of the scene in favour of something more menacing. With Sauron's help the trolls had morphed into the much more sinister Olog-hai in the Rings trilogy and were immune to the rays of the sun (hence the sight of one opening the Black Gate in The Two Towers). The Olog-hai probably wouldn't have fallen for Sir Ian McKellen's troll impression.
Key Tolkien quote: "The riddle-game was sacred and of immense antiquity, and even wicked creatures were afraid to cheat when they played at it."
The chances of the most pivotal scene in the whole mythology of Middle-earth not making the final cut are roughly equal to the likelihood of Smaug joining the Samaritans. We're saying this is a stick-on to be played pretty much by the book. It is, after all, our first meeting with Gollum. It's also Bilbo's first encounter with the Ring, and arguably the best riddle-off this side of The Last Crusade, with the pair firing brain-twisters at each other with life and death hanging in the balance. As the first encounter between Martin Freeman's Hobbit and performance-capture veteran Andy Serkis, reprising his role as ol' lantern eyes, it's a cerebral set-piece at the heart of much questing and dragon battling. It plays out in the dank interior of the Misty Mountain, where the shadowy wordplay will present a challenge not just for Bilbo but the man who has to light it all, The Hobbit's cinematographer Andrew Lesnie. It's worth noting that we've seen the scene in the Fellowship prologue. Can Jackson replay the scene with Martin Freeman's Bilbo replacing the Ian Holm version without twisting all our melons beyond repair? That's not a riddle, we're just wondering.
Key Tolkien quote: "It was a terrible battle. The most dreadful of all Bilbo's experiences, and the one which at the time he hated most – which is to say it was the one he was most proud of, and most fond of recalling long afterwards, although he was quite unimportant in it."
The story's culmination is, like Return Of The King, a huge battle that will serve as an epic sign-off for Jackson's Tolkien-tacular. The Uruk-hai are still a twinkle in Sauron's eye at this point and the mumakil otherwise engaged, but there's still several armies for Weta Digital's SFX whizzes to realise. They form a violent mass of elves, dwarves, wargs and goblins spreading across the shadow of Lonely Mountain. As much as anything, it'll be interesting to compare the set-piece's CGI with the groundbreaking digital effects of Pelennor Field, 11 years earlier. Expect your eyeballs to pop out; expect the 3D glasses to keep them from getting too far.
Key Tolkien quote: "Some say that he is a bear descended from the great and ancient bears of the mountains that lived before the giants came. Others say that he is a man descended from the first men who lived before Smaug or the other dragons came into this part of the world, and before goblins came into the hills out of the North. I cannot say, though I fancy the last is the true tale. He is not the sort of person to ask questions of."
In Tolkien's text Beorn is described as "a skin-changer". This, as Gandalf explains to Bilbo and the dwarves, makes him both most mysterious and dangerous, despite his fondness for twice-baked honeycakes. But is he human or bear? Well, a little from column A and a little from column B. He's able to morph into a great black bear at will and commune with his fellow mammals. If that makes him sound like a walking Werner Herzog documentary, he does play a significant role in the story. Not only do Gandalf, Bilbo and their dwarfish companions stop at his abode after fleeing the wargs and goblins in the Misty Mountains, he also pops up at the Battle of the Five Armies in full ursine guise. There he saves Thorin (Richard Armitage) and slays Bolg, the goblin leader. Will he end up as The Hobbit's Tom Bombadil? Well, no - Swedish actor Mikael Persbrandt has been cast in the role – but how much screen time is allotted to him is open to question. And will Joe Letteri and his Weta Digital team be called on to push the CG boundaries again to make show him in full shape-shifting mode?
Key Tolkien quote: "'I am Roäc son of Carc. Carc is dead, but he was well known to you once. It is a hundred years and three and fifty since I came out of the egg, but I do not forget what my father told me… Most of my people are abroad, for there are great tidings in the South – some are tidings of joy to you, and some you will not think so good.'"
Tolkien's birds play an important role in the final act of The Hobbit. Along with the giant eagles and news-gathering thrush, Roäc, chief of the ravens of the Lonely Mountain, is another feathery deus ex machina. He's on hand to inform the dwarves of Smaug's death and share some sage words of caution as Thorin and Company hatch a plan to keep the dragon's gold for themselves. Unlike in Rings, Jackson's challenge on The Hobbit is to make animals talk without looking really daft, or, worse, like Ray Winstone's Mr. Beaver. Alternatively, he could just skip this puzzler altogether and give all the dwarves Blackberries.
Key Tolkien quote: "'Hmmm! It smells like elves!" thought Bilbo, and he looked up at the stars. They were burning bright and blue. Just then there came a burst of song like laughter in the trees..."
Elves have many attributes: loyalty, longevity, beauty, wry humour and big pointy ears. According to the text they've also got vocals chords to match, but the lengthy singalong that greets Bilbo's arrival in Rivendell might end up in the giant busking bin in the sky. Even Howard Shore would struggle to stop all those "tra-la-la-lallys" sounding a little silly drifting through the valley. It's an unusually warm welcome for the Hobbit, who normally finds someone trying to eat him, but we'd hazard it's still ripe for the chop.
Key Tolkien quote: "Then Bard drew his bow-string to his ear. The dragon was circling back, flying low, and as he came the moon rose above the eastern shore and silvered his great wings. 'Arrow!' said the bowman. 'Black Arrow! I have saved you to the last. You have never failed me and always I have recovered you. I had you from my father and he from of old. If ever you came from the forges of the true king under the Mountain, go now and speed well!'"
A miserable fellow prone to doomy comments about possible flooding and toxic kippers, Bard the bowman ("grim-voiced and grim-faced") wins minimal points for good humour. He does, however, score highly for dragon-slaying. In the book Bard defends his home town from assault by Smaug when the great dragon arrives to turn Lake-town to toast, using a tip provided by an old thrush, the original angry bird. The chirping informant overhears Bilbo talking of the reptilian raider's weak point and relays it, at the critical moment, to Bard. It's a crucial intervention, and, we'd hazard, impossible to omit from the movie. Less likely to make the cut is what happens next: a monologue by the morose bowman delivered to his arrow. On screen addresses to inanimate objects have their place – Toy Story, for instance – but when we see Bard bringing his righteous archery skills to bear on Smaug, it'd be a big surprise to see his arrow get the full pep talk.

Comedy actor Jaggesh shed tears on the occasion of Chamkaysi Chindi Udaysi audio release after he remembered his mother's concern towards his brother Komal Kumar. He said that she had urged him to take care of Komal Kumar. Jaggesh's tears turned the function into utter silence.
Jaggesh appreciated his brother Komal Kumar by saying, "Komal Kumar is not my brother, but he's my son. He is the only wise man in my family. He shares close relationship with V Ravichandran in thinking. I couldn't succeed in studies, but he passed LLB with distinction."
"I suggested him not enter the film industry, but he didn't heed me. He entered the Kannada films through the movie Banda Nanna Ganda in which he played a small role. Now he has grown to a level, which I never expected. I'm selfish, but he is not a selfish man," he added.
Recalling his olden days Jaggesh further said, "Earlier, films were earning their investments within a week after their release. But these days audiences are not coming to theatres."
According to producer, the songs of movie Chamkaysi Chindi Udaysi will rock the audience. Ashok Kashyap has cranked the camera and Balaji has scored the music. Directed by AR Babu, the movie features Komal Kumar, Nidhi Subbayya, Umashri and Mukyamantri Chandru.

As the third quarter comes to a close, Wall Street is looking at yet another great quarter for the U.S. stock markets. And so, it stands to reason that many equity ETFs finished Q3 well in the black.
But the key word there is "many."
While we saw a number of ETFs flourish in the third quarter, a few didn't just underperform the broader market — they fell, and fell hard.
Here's a look at both sides of the coin — three funds that stood out in a positive way in Q3, as well as three with a couple holes:

Ford City to move forward on plant
FORD CITY — Construction of a long-discussed water plant facility may begin in the spring provided the borough council gets all of its ducks in a row.
Borough engineer James Garvin told council during Monday's meeting that one of the crucial initial steps is the submission of a water allocation permit to the Department of Environmental Protection.
"There never was one done here in the borough," Garvin said.
He said the permit is required so that the state can track how much water is taken from rivers and aquifers across the commonwealth in order to prevent the depletion of water basins.
Garvin said work could commence in March but that council needed to first vote on a consent order and agreement with DEP.
Borough Solicitor Frank Wolfe noted that in the past, the borough had discharged industrial waste into the Allegheny River. But as part of the consent order and agreement, the DEP would not levy any fines against the borough.
"Part of that has to do with the good work of Mr. Garvin," Wolfe said, adding that "there are no time limits within the proposal that (Garvin) can't meet."
Council voted 5-0 to enter into a consent agreement with DEP. Councilman Rob Mohney was absent.
Garvin moved on to discuss the "unsafe and deplorable condition" of the borough's garage roof. He said he was concerned that this winter could cause severe leaking and a partial roof collapse and urged council to authorize emergency roof repair.
According to borough superintendent Larry Coffey, the roof was deemed in need of repair two years ago. At that time, he said, the borough had received an insurance check of about $32,800 to make the repairs.
Council President Lou Vergari said that money had carried over to this year's budget and could be used for the emergency repairs.
In other business:
• Councilman Jerry Miklos raised a concern about an increase in transient-related crime within the borough. He said borough police had brought the matter to his attention.
Councilman Eugene Banks suggested the borough resurrect the Crime Watch Committee.
Miklos said he wanted council to approve the creation of a citizens task force to address issues including transient-related crime and problems resulting from unscrupulous absentee landlords.
Council voted 5-0 to approve the creation of the force.
• Borough resident Hank Commodore said he thought it was a good idea to have citizens involved in issues.
"I'm a landlord myself," he said.
He said his purpose in attending Monday's meeting was to object to a recent borough action that shut off water service to his rental property without any prior notice. He claimed that when a former tenant moved out, someone else moved in illegally without his permission.
He said he went through the proper channels to get the new illegal tenants evicted. In the meantime, he said, he did not receive any notice that the water would be turned off at the rental property. He said he was concerned for the welfare of the children living there and about an inflated water bill, which he was now expected to pay.
"The water's in my name," he said. "I'm told I have to pay the bill."
Assistant borough secretary Patty Hornyak told Commodore that the borough was authorized to take such an action (of stopping water service) and that his outstanding bill had been paid by an outside agency.
• Council announced that Trick or Treat will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 30, from 6 to 8 p.m.
• The town's Halloween parade will take place on Thursday, Oct. 31, and participants will line up at the Borough Building at 7 p.m.

Snooki Drowns Her Sorrows In Whipped Cream (PHOTOS)
Jersey Shore pint-sized star (and our personal spirit animal) Snooki showed off her sweet tooth by doing shots of whipped cream while partying in Miami Beach.
Snooki's co-star J-WoWW was also present for Snooki's creamy grab for attention, but she knew better than to shoot whipped cream into her mouth while cameras are around.
Meanwhile, J-WoWW had no problem walking around after what looks like a vicious bear attack on her jeans.

Police Shoot And Kill Man Lying On Ground In Handcuffs At Fruitvale BART
BART spokesman Jim Allison said the officer's gun went off while police were trying to restrain 22-year-old Oscar Grant at the station on East 12th Street around 2:15 a.m., shortly after a train from San Francisco arrived.
(01-01) 13:51 PST -- A young man allegedly involved in a possible scuffle aboard a BART train was shot to death by a BART police officer on the platform of the Fruitvale Station early today.
While witness accounts reported by news organizations indicate Grant was on the ground and handcuffed when he was shot, Allison would not confirm the victim had been detained.
Saturday Jan 3rd, 2009 1:35 PM
WTF! That is the nastiest euphemism for killing somebody since "collateral damage".
Saturday Jan 3rd, 2009 5:20 PM
Went off, as in accidental discharge...
Possibly involuntary manslaughter... At the very least, a whole lot of civil damages, and that cop probably won't be involved in a job that involves a gun anymore...
Saturday Jan 3rd, 2009 9:46 PM
Jeez, maybe the cop was afraid to pull out his Taser for fear of getting second guessed by all the "use of force experts" on this message boards? But then, Oscar wouldn't be dead either...we shouldn't have cops at all.....if we got rid of all the cops less people would be dead....at least dead by the cops!!!!!
Saturday Jan 3rd, 2009 11:42 PM
How sad. I should like to show that this is not acceptable in some way.
Sunday Jan 4th, 2009 2:06 AM
Had this been the other way around where the boy shot and killed the officer in the back while his friends had him pinned down to the ground, he'd be sitting in Santa Rita along with the rest of his friends waiting to be put on death row. Where is the officer who publicly executed this boy? I haven't heard any word of his arrest!
It just goes to show that there is no American justice, only favoritism and double standards in American society. Here we have several video's at different angles where the police have the boy subdued lying flat on his stomach with 2 officers on top of him when a 3rd cop standing behind him draws his gun for no apparent reason and blasts him away.
All of this is on video and the media is asking questions as to whether or not this was an accident or justified. What the hell is wrong with the mainstream media today and why hasn't anybody expressed any outrage over this? Should we just allow the media to side with the police every time they brutalize or murder someone? When is enough going to be enough?
When someone kills a police officer, do the media ever voice their concern as to whether it was an accident or if it was justified? Ask your self these questions and you will see whose side they are really on. There would have been no questions asked accept to demand the boy be locked up and given the harshest punishment of the law; the "Death Penalty". These are the injustices of the American system.
And what about the cell phones the police had confiscated from the witnesses at the scene of the crime? Those all had evidence on them and they took it away to try and cover up the murder. That's conspiracy to conceal evidence. They are obstructing justice and should be put on trial for enabling the gunman to get away with murder. By a chance of luck the police weren't able to confiscate everyone's camera. A very heroic Union City girl came forth with footage of her own showing the dark side of the law THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE!
Judging from the video this is no other than a "PUBLIC EXECUTION"; video that could be used as evidence to prosecute anybody else that had committed the same crime. But will it stand as evidence to be used against a cop? If not then why do we have a justice system? We may as well throw it out if fails us this time. Most criminals would love to get the same pat on the wrist but only the government is allowed to commit crimes in the name of security, protection, and service and be allowed to get away with it.
Where is all the public outrage right now? We must break our silence by standing up and to demand that this cop have a trial of his own just like every other human being. "No More Double Standards & No More Special Treatment for Police!
Sunday Jan 4th, 2009 10:29 PM
The BART Cop that shot Grant would have to be ''special '' (as in mentally retarded ) if he actually thought he had his taser in his hand instead of his Glock automatic pistol !
This isn't the first murder of an unarmed young Black man by a BART cop. In the early 90's Jerrold Hall was shot in the back by a shotgun wielding cop outside of the Hayward station.
He was unarmed , there was a big outcry , several rallies (one of which featured Tupac early in his career ) but no indictment , no trial .
The cop in question later on accidentially killed himself . But there was no justice for Jerrold Hall.
Sunday Jan 4th, 2009 10:53 PM
was copwatch present? any footage?
Monday Jan 5th, 2009 8:00 AM
The shooting of this young man is totally un-acceptable. However it is typical. Those cops do not need guns.(period)
Lets all keep in mind that Mr. Grant was not shot once, but twice. At close range the bullet will pass through the victim. Thats what there designed to do, and in this case the bullet ricochet-ed off the floor and back up into his body. This is likely what killed him so think about this: His body on the floor may have saved an innocent bystander from getting hit by the passing bullet. So personally I find him to be a lifesaver and victim.
Oh by the way. When will we the people stand up against a brutal police force that only serves the needs of a racist and corrupt government?
Monday Jan 5th, 2009 10:07 AM
"The shooting of this young man is totally un-acceptable. However it is typical. Those cops do not need guns.(period)"
Absolutely correct, with a murder rate of 36.4 per 100,000, it's quite plain to see that the police in that area shouldn't have guns, since they're the obvious cause of so much violence in the area.[/sarcasm]
Monday Jan 5th, 2009 11:17 AM
If Charles Manson had murdered your loved one, would you call Charles Manson and give him all the information you had about the murder so he could help bring justice? Well, it appears the BART cop murdered Oscar Grant so why would the public cooperate with BART and BART police who have so much to loose in all of this? They will loose money and credibility. Wouldn't it appear that their interest is not to see justice brought forth but to be distorted or perverted somehow. this is so typical...
Remember Patrick Gonzalez, the OPD cop, who shot Gary King, Jr in the back and killed him. Well, he is still on the streets of Oakland. Did you ever see a public report on this incident? I never did although the police department and city hall promised this. The public is never served by these self serving investigations.
Monday Jan 5th, 2009 1:41 PM
Cops claimed his crime was Bart Fare evasion.
We are very sorry to report that on December 31, Andrew Moppin, an Oakland native youth, was gunned down and killed by the police and this is a situation that must be addressed. This was discussed at the BAIAR meeting last Friday and we are asking that community members please write the OPD and express your feelings about this senseless loss. This young man was robbed of his life and the police officers invovled must account for their actions. A link to the full article is below. If further action is planned it will be posted when we find out. Thank you.
Services for Andrew will be held January 10th, Thursday at 10 am at Colonial Chapel, followed by a memorial gathering at IFH around 2 pm. We send our condolances to the family for their loss.
Man fatally shot by OPD identified
Article Last Updated: 01/03/2008 02:52:35 AM PST
OAKLAND — A man shot to death Monday night by two police officers who said they thought he was reaching for a gun after he ran from a car was identified Wednesday as 20-year-old Andrew Moppin.
It turned out Moppin did not have a gun and investigators are still not sure why he ran from the vehicle.
The letter below was drafted by Corrina Gould, community activist, IPOC organizer and staffperson at the Child Resource Center. The letter should be addressed to the Internal Affairs Dept, OPD as well as the Citizens Review Board. Please save a copy of your letter so that we can follow up on community demands for investigation of Andrew's tragic death.
We are writing this letter on behalf of the American Indian Community of Oakland. We are concerned and outraged as a community to have had one of our young people shot down in the streets of Oakland by two police officers on December 31, 2007. As there is an increase of violence and death in the streets, our youth have far more to fear than that of being brutally taken down by those that are supposed to uphold the laws in our city. As Oakland has one of the highest populations of American Indians in the country, and our imprisonment rate and rate of violence against American Indian's is, disproportionate to others we are demanding an independent investigation of the murder of Andrew Moppin.
Numerous studies indicate that disparities exist between American Indians and whites in arrest, sentencing, and incarceration rates. An analysis of traffic stop data conducted by the Institute on Race and Poverty reveals some not so surprising results. It found that American Indians were stopped and searched at higher rates than Whites, yet as a result of these searches, this study found that American Indians are less likely to have contraband as compared to White drivers. With national research such as this, it is imperative that the investigation of the Police Officers involved in this crime be completed by an outside impartial agency.
The American Indian community mourns the loss of one of our youth and expect that the city of Oakland will seek justice for the family.

I totally disagree that the officers gun just went off. Obviously the officer doesn't know or understand his job as a peace officer. First of all you never pull your weapon unless you, the officer are in danger. If the suspect is unarmed, and especially when he/she is lying on the ground face down, there was no reason to harm or kill the suspect. The officer should be fired, never allowed to serve as an officer or carry a gun and evaluated for mental stability and whether or not his actions were criminal. I currently working as armed security officer I could handle this situation so much better that this police officer. My suggestion is bart should hire armed security like myself to secure the community.
Tuesday Jan 6th, 2009 7:19 PM
If this happened 15 years ago those cops would have placed a gun in the hand of the victim and drugs in his pocket.
BART Police Chief Gary Gee said it was an "accident." What part of this assassination was an accident?
Deciding the use of a gun was necessary when the suspect was face down on the ground?
Reaching for the gun?
Unbuckling the gun from the holster?
Pulling the gun from the holster?
Inactivating the safety mechanism on the gun?
Pointing the gun at the back of the victim?
Pulling the trigger?
That's like saying someone accidentally took a shower.
This is what happens when you give power to the weakest members of society; those with a low I.Q. and unresolved childhood issues of control. Instead of therapy they are given a gun and a badge to hide behind. Considering the educational requirements to be a cop is a GED -Good Enough Degree- maybe we shouldn't be surprised, caveat emptor. Not to mention this rookie cop was on the job for 2 years. So what you have is an angry 20-something-year-old uneducated kid whose been empowered with a gun and hides behind a badge and is now working through is mental problems one bullet at a time.
The only thing left is the cover up and if the past is any indication of the future they will do an excellent job at hiding the truth.
God bless the police for they are not just above the law, they are the law.

Are there any calls for people in other cities to do actions? Maybe a day of action to raise awareness and show solidarity or something like that. If not, we can probably figure out things on ourselves, but I think it would be better if a call came from the community most directly affected.
Wednesday Jan 7th, 2009 10:12 PM
It is clear that the police officer pulled his weapon the question is why? I see the man laying on the ground the other officer had the man on the ground he was not treating the officer for him to use deadly force but he did. Know we have another Israelite Man dead but that gentile will not have to answers for his crime against that dead Young Israelite man. His daughter does not have a father anymore but the times are going to get worst not better for the Israelite Nation. It is time we wake up as a nation to understand who we are as a nation of people to the Most High.

If you look at the way cops kill blacks you might see that they are in a sense
lynching us with bullets this time instead of a rope.

In the next three weeks, the Israeli army will do something unprecedented: instead of defending the country against external enemies or terrorism, it will evacuate – by force if necessary – 9,000 Israelis from their homes.
Israel's unilateral withdrawal is the outcome of a deep political shift that has been caused by two somewhat contradictory convictions that have characterized Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's policies since 2003: first, that the US-initiated "road map" is going nowhere and, second, that the status quo is untenable. Certainly, according to Sharon's thinking, there is no future for 9,000 Jewish settlers living among 1.2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Hence, in the absence of negotiations, a unilateral withdrawal is the only meaningful step towards de-escalation and stabilization.
This policy has deeply divided Israel: the settlers – mostly, but not exclusively religious – feel betrayed by Sharon, "The Father of the Settlements." It is now the Israeli left that, however reluctantly, realizes that Sharon's new pragmatism may be the first step in the right direction. Like de Gaulle in Algeria, Sharon has reshuffled the cards of Israel's politics.
The last weeks have seen massive demonstrations, some of them verging on violence; many of the settlers have declared that they will not obey government orders to evacuate. The army and the police have mobilized almost 50,000 troops to carry out evictions. This forcible approach is traumatic not only for the settlers, but also for many other Israelis. Only the next days and weeks will tell whether the evacuation proceeds peacefully or not.

Doesn't Nike realize that there are legions of sneakerheads who can't wait to spend their hard earned dough on the latest Dunk SB's? Maybe they are playing it smart by spreading their Dunk releases out a little more to create more demand and anticipation, but whatever the impetus, all we know is that when a fresh new Dunk SB hits the shelves, they definitely have our attention. With strong Dunk High SB releases few and far between lately, it's nice to see that they've still got some fresh colorway ideas up their sleeves.
This model features a mostly yellow leather upper with a perforated side panel and a white toe box and white mesh tongue. Black accents can be found on the patent leather Swoosh, as well as the lining, laces and the stitching on the midsole. What really pulls this colorway together though is the red that is used for the tongue label, heel tab and the stitching on the upper heel. Also of note is what appears to be an extra high tongue, which is possibly a new addition to help keep up with the current thirst for super-high cut sneakers. These have just hit stores in Korea and are available now at Choko. It is still unknown if they will be making their way to the U.S., but you know we'll be staying on top of it and bringing you all the latest news. Via NiceKicks.
