Why Goldman Sachs?
Training and Orientation
At Goldman Sachs, we recognize that learning is a competitive advantage, and we are committed to helping our people reach the peak of their capabilities.
We created Goldman Sachs University to help our people grow professionally – starting with their orientation and integration into the firm and continuing with ongoing development over the course of their careers. Each year, over 98% of our employees attend one or more GSU programs.
You become part of the Goldman Sachs team from the moment you accept an offer of employment. To reflect this, your orientation starts well before your first day in the office. New hires are given access to online resources to help them get to know the firm. Each month, we send out a communication highlighting the same information that is sent to our employees. This enables pre-hires to begin to understand the culture, the activities and the expectations associated with working at Goldman Sachs. We also encourage managers to reach out to new hires prior to their start dates.
As part of our onboarding process, new hires spend time with our senior leaders, both in formal training programs such as "Symposium" and "Firmwide Analyst and Associate Orientation" and more informally through meetings, projects and daily interactions. This process accelerates their integration into the firm, and provides senior management an opportunity to get to know new hires.
Additionally, our integration programs provide new hires with resources and events to help them better understand our culture, our people and our businesses.
All our new employees and interns attend our 'Day One Orientation', a firmwide program to introduce our culture, history, business principles and core values. This is followed by the 'First 100 days' email program, which consists of an email each week for the first 16 weeks of employment. These emails cover topics such as technology, available resources, GSU training, compliance, Wellness programs, and diversity in a concise format, with additional information available on line.
Continuing Education
Goldman Sachs University (GSU), our internal training and development function, offers courses to help you at each stage of your career. GSU programs cover leadership development, products and markets training, diversity and inclusion, culture and orientation, and professional skills.
Leading experts from within and outside the firm teach many of our more than 4,000 programs. You can take a course in various formats (classroom, Webcast, e-learning), depending on how much time you have and how much you need to know.
Through our personalized, online curriculum roadmaps, you'll find the courses our leaders recommend for people in your role. These core curricula are designed to help you advance your skills within current and new areas of responsibilities.
Our tailored roadmaps allow you to be proactive, to invest in your own development and to take part in the extensive training opportunities the firm has to offer. Your roadmap will be tailored to your business, region and location as well as your personal goals.
As part of our commitment to training many divisions ask that their people meet a minimum 10-hour annual continuing educational goal, and 20 hours is the ideal. Your training is included as part of your annual performance review to help us ensure that both the team's and your individual goals are met.
Knowledge Share
A deep understanding of our products and markets is critical to our ability to innovate and create new solutions. One of the aims of GSU is to systematically and quickly make available the best ideas and products from one area of the firm across the whole organization.
Our Products and Markets programs are designed to help you understand the capital markets and the products we offer, learn to recognize appropriate applications for new products and demonstrate how to implement complex strategies with clients.
The GSU Business Series also forms part of our commitment to knowledge sharing and features speakers from across our businesses. This series, through regular presentations, helps our people better understand our business objectives and opportunities.
Alongside this, Goldman Sachs' Talks at GS speaker series regularly invites leading thinkers from a broad range of backgrounds to share their views and expertise.
We offer opportunities for leadership development at every level: from entry-level employees to experienced Managing Directors.
Our curriculum is based on the latest theories from leading authors and management professionals. Each course is designed with the Goldman Sachs environment – and the challenges our leaders face – in mind.
We have also established a leadership academy for our global senior management, called "Pine Street." Pine Street focuses on developing the firm's future leaders through a program of executive coaching, leadership acceleration initiatives, topical roundtables and master classes.
Pine Street also offers one-on-one sessions for managing directors and partners hired laterally into the firm. These sessions support new leaders overcome common challenges faced in their first 30-60-90 days at the firm.
Personal Professional Development
At Goldman Sachs, we believe you should be in control of your own learning and career development. This includes performance reviews and professional development planning.
Every employee has an annual 360-degree performance review, taking in a self-assessment and feedback from a diverse group of colleagues.
To help you get the most from this process GSU offers programs and resources to guide you through your review and help you review your colleagues more effectively.
Your Professional Development Plan (PDP) includes all your development needs and the actions that will help you meet them; whether through formal/informal training, work assignments, special projects, mentoring or committee participation. This plan is then reviewed over the year to make sure your goals are being met.
Mentoring is a core part of our investment in personal professional development, and we run an in-house mentoring training curriculum to ensure that the program remains effective as a learning and development practice.
Goldman Sachs also offers unique programs targeted to certain populations at the firm. For instance the Women's Career Strategies Initiative provides development opportunities for high performing Associate women across the firm.

If there's any paper collection to wrap up the summer in a perfect way it would be today's steal, the Berrylicious collection by Imaginisce.
This collection just screams "smile," and I had a great time mixing up the papers and elements to create the cards for this weeks Monday Card Madness. I am especially fond of the mix of swiss dots and stripes and decided that a card design which would allow a portion of the inside paper to peek through would be perfect to show it all!
I can't help but think that receiving a card made with the Berrylicious collection would be a surefire way to put a smile on someones face. I look forward to keeping up with the challenge of sending out joy.
In case you missed it we are underway with our next ScrapbookSteals card swap.
Here are the details:
- This particular swap is a holiday-themed swap.
- Create 10 cards following a Christmas, Holiday or Winter theme. (*Please leave me a note if you have a preference of Christmas or Holiday cards and I will do my best to sort accordingly).

- Lastly wait patiently for 10 amazing creations by different artists to find their way back to your door!
I know it's a slightly tighter turn around than we normally have but think of how great it will be to have a variety of handmade goodness to send to your neighbors and friends to wish them a very happy holiday season.
Well, that's it from me today. Be sure to stop by tomorrow for that amazing day of the week where we are treated to a tutorial by one of you!

Is your kid a reluctant learner?
Find out how to get your kid excited about being back at school. more
Did you know that certain foods can help boost your health and help you fight off winter colds and flus? We reveal the top 10 winter superfoods and how to serve them!
To be a superfood a food has to be eaten in season - which is why what we think of as a superfood (garlic) isn't in this list! Garlic needs a cold winter to mature so normally the only garlic available in Australia over winter is imported. But there's plenty of other local foods that have the immune-boosting qualities of garlic, so we've sourced the best.
A superfood is a food that contains an extraordinary amount of vitamins, minerals or antioxidants. Some superfoods are obscure, or expensive, but we've identified the best family superfoods that can really boost your health. Eating fresh, seasonal food is the best way to guarantee that our body receives the nutrients it needs.
When choosing a superfood look for the brightest, richest colours you can. The more colour, the more nutritional benefits - that's why so many nutritionists recommend eating a rainbow each day (in food that is!)
Here are the top 10 winter superfoods that pack a nutritional punch:
This fuzzy little fruit packs a surprising amount of nutrients for its size. It's rich in vitamin C which helps ward off colds and flu, and is also filled with folate, potassium, fibre, chlorophyll and antioxidants.
Simply slice in half around the middle and scoop out the flesh with a teaspoon! Or serve sliced onto cereal, or even cut into wedges and served in a winter salad.
Whether the traditional orange, or the new shade of purple, carrots are a fabulous source of nutrients. They contain high levels of anti-oxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties too. Carrots are rich in vitamin A, or beta-carotene, which boosts eye and skin health. Carrots also offer great immune-system support - essential in the colder months!
Don't peel your carrots, simply scrub them with a veggie brush before steaming, baking or serving raw! Vary the way you serve carrots - diced, in sticks, sliced into rounds, or in big, chunky wedges.
If you see something that looks like a cross between a mandarine and an orange, with a wee bump on its head, that's a tangelo or tangerine. Rich in vitamin C, one tangelo will provide 100 percent of an adult's recommended dietary intake of vitamin C. These fruits are rich in a range of antioxidants too.
Simply peel them and eat the segments like a mandarin! Add them to a winter salad of baby spinach and toasted walnuts for a real nutrient hit.
Look for a yoghurt containing naturally-occurring probiotics to help improve intestinal health. Yoghurt is also a rich source of protein and calcium - and it's easy to digest too!
Add a dollop to cereal, or stir through some berries and a little yoghurt for a sweet snack. For breakfast try blending yoghurt, fruit and a little milk for a super smoothie!
For all your vitamin D and omega-3 needs serve up some salmon. Salmon is the richest source of naturally occurring omega-3 and is also anti-oxidant packed. Plus it contains a wide range of vitamins B, D, E and minerals such as zinc, iron, copper, selenium and manganese.
Simply grill or barbecue salmon, or, poach it gently in fish stock and fresh herbs for something different. Cook it up and flake it into some cooled mashed potato, herbs and grated onion to make salmon patties - a kid's fave!
This wonderfully richly hued veggie is a powerful source of antioxidants, and vitamins C and B. Potassium and fibre can also be found in this versatile vegetable.
Simply scrub, wrap in foil and roast them whole for 60 minutes to bring out their sweet goodness. When you're baking a roast, toss in some beetroot with your potatoes and pumpkin! Grate and serve raw in salad, or add it to juice for a purple drink the kids will love.
Is there a simpler food than an egg? It can be served in so many ways and is a nutritional powerhouse. Eggs are rich in iron, phosphorus and protein - containing all nine essential amino acids.
Scrambled, poached, boiled, baked, as an omelette or frittata.
Rich in B-vitamins, vitamin C and vitamin A, broccoli is also a rich source of fibre, calcium and magnesium. The anti-oxidants in broccoli are credited with helping to repair skin cells and research also indicates that broccoli is a rich source of isothiocyanates, biochemicals that can inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
Steamed, roasted with a little olive oil, sauteed in chicken stock with garlic, raw in salads or as a soup - broccoli is a great addition to any meal.
A rich source of wholegrain, oats are packed with plenty of vitamins and minerals, are a rich source of fibre, and can help lower cholesterol reabsorption. Rich in zinc, calcium and iron, oats are a protein packed breakfast rich in B vitamins. Low in GI, oats are absorbed slowly - helping you feel fuller for longer.
Simply serve for breakfast hot with milk and a little honey, or soak overnight in apple juice and stir through grated apple, berries and nuts in the morning for bircher muesli.
This sweet fruit is packed with lycopene, vitamins A and C and essential nutrients such as potassium, manganese. While capsicum comes in an array of colours, it's the red version that packs the greatest nutritional punch.
Add raw strips to salad, grill wedges and serve as a side dish, or barbecue. Strips of capsicum are also great for a snack, keep a bowl in the fridge for kids to nibble on.

We've been mentioned on the best online marketing & design websites in the world
What people say about us
I've been a reader of the blog for a fair while and check most days for new posts. I've also downloaded your seo and link building ebooks. I found you through sheer frustration looking for someone in Scotland who actually seemed quite genuine and knowledgeable about SEO. My need for this was related to Scottish Business Forums so that I could have a place to refer people to on SBF if the SEO chat got complicated.
Shaun Anderson is by now a quite well known figure in the (local) SEO industry and beyond partly due to his ongoing efforts of spreading knowledge both within the industry and to the masses. He has published popular SEO resources for beginners and intermediate users both on his site and as an e-book. I've followed Hobo UK over the years and was quite impressed with their track record of contributions to the general understanding of procedures and best practices.
I'm a know-it-all web dev with a heart for usability, and I was pretty convinced that (organic) SEO and search engine optimisers were all magic smoke and fraud. I can't remember how I stumbled on Hobo, but it's really made me realize that there exists a sliver of search engine marketing where the people are intelligent and balance logical optimizations against steadily improving content for people. I can't emphasize enough how refreshing it is to be able to read useful, logical tips that aren't 99% "Google updated and they lowered my PageRank and Google is wrong�
I read your blog because you do experiments to try to determine what works for seo. It's one thing to spout conventional wisdom, it's another thing to determine what works (or doesn't work). While google is extremely complicated and I don't think anyone will ever figure it out, you come up with ideas and test them, and at least point us in the right direction. That is why I read your blog.
The winner of the 2011 SEO Blog of the Year award goes to Hobo-web. Written by Shaun Anderson, it delivers the goods in useful, actionable chunks. It doesn't go overboard with over long posts, and is to the point and fat free. I've been following the blog since 2007 and Shaun always gives spot on advice with very little crappola mixed in. Some of his advice I have implemented and it's been very helpful. Definitely a blog to add to your feeds.
We run a small online store in Australia and found the budget to hire a SEO for our huge product range beyond our budget. Whilst our business grew using google ppc I spent a year trying to get a grip on what SEO was about�.when I started I had zero understanding. After 12 months part-time research and culling 100s and then 10s of other "advisors" I decided to use your free booklets and blog articles as the source for my DYI foray into SEO. Why you? Plain speaking, to the point, non-technical advice that was easy to read and more importantly understand! The results? I started, again part-time, on my website about 3 months ago. I have increased my natural search from 2% to 18% of my traffic in 12 weeks.
I'm sure you hear this all the time but I have to say this is the best SEO blog I have ever seen. I have started my small design company recently and your site/blog helped and helps me a lot. I'm based in Harrogate so I cover the north yorkshire area but if someone needs a web/print design company in Scotland no doubt that I recommend Hobo. I don't say "keep up the good work" because I know you will
I first came across your site while looking for an SEO company to help build an efficient SEO campaign for my employer. I was really happy that you guys as good as knocked them back, even though they had considerably deep pockets. Anyway I'm an avid reader of your blog and love the work ethics of Hobo.
I have to admit I read a lot of search engine blogs around the net. I find I keep coming back to this one though. It's by far the most original and informative. So many people recycle the same old stuff.
I always read your blog when I lived in the US now I am back in Blighty (Devon) I still do and am amazed (but not surprised) when people in the biz say they have heard of you guys
For the novice / beginner this site is a wealth of info and resources and will certainly help find a starting point. I found once I got my head around all the basics, the other material on the site such as testing, experiments and the results all start to become more useful as your understanding improves. The most notable thing is there is no hidden agenda to the testing, just a genuine interest in what makes the search engines tick, so you are able to have faith in the results and why the tests were carried out.
I'd recommend this site to SEOs of all abilities, none more so than the beginner as there is plenty here to get you on the right tracks � and plenty to keep you coming back.
I've been working on s.e.o. for a few years now but as a supporting service for our web design clients. (Hobo) played a big role in helping me build up this side of our business to the stage where it provides as much revenue as the other areas of our business and has a healthy client base of its own.
I read quite a few blogs these days but Hobo has always been one of my favorites. You have an excellent balance between very well thought out theories, tested facts and with a bit of attitude thrown in to make it all very enjoyable to read.
I have only been a subscriber for a few months but I find your newsletter really useful � it is helpful, insightful and fun as well. They are long enough to be informative but short enough to read without putting it to one side. Well done on a great job and keep it up! (no pressure!)
My rss reader is packed with over one hundred feeds, but this one I actually read (if that isn't a compliment, I don't know what is). The experiments are really interesting both to newbies and more experienced SEOs like myself, so keep 'em coming and thanks for a great blog.
I really like this blog, its down to earth and just packed with really useful stuff, especially things like the experiments and your e-books, which are a must read for any website owner!
I have always liked your no nonsense, no bullstuff approach. You need to make a living but there's no hard sell and the time I emailed you with a question you responded really quickly. I actually look forward to reading it and have put away all the Dummies books. I'll admit that a lot of the time, it's a bit too technical for me but if there's anything of interest I always pass it on to my developers.
Well before introducing myself I will say a few words on your "little seo blog" Well I would not call it little. it is one of the best SEO resources in the world and is a good source of information to all categories of users.

Yes! Yes! Yes! The Raw Review (#YYYTRR)
by, 08-20-2013 at 01:54 PM (2821 Views)
Coming off the back of Sunday's SummerSlam, Raw was guaranteed viewership this week, but also added pressure.
Pressure for the extremely well-played out double heel turn of former Evolution teammates Triple H and Randy Orton to convincingly rub the fans the wrong way for the first time in years, pressure for the would-be WWE Champion Daniel Bryan to pull off the role of a modern day "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in the wake of the 'L.A. Screwjob', and also pressure for the heated storyline between CM Punk and Paul Heyman to keep building momentum and interest after a match which could well have ended it and kept us all happy.
Fortunately, WWE looks like it has nothing to worry about. All of these potential pressure points became great moments on this week's Raw and created an atmosphere which suggested a wind of change for a multitude of superstars over the coming months.
The Chase is On!
I was left shocked at the close of SummerSlam, and it is not because I predicted that Orton would cash-in or because Triple H was the guy who stole Bryan's career-defining moment. I was shocked at how well the series of events played out after Bryan gave John Cena his 4-6 months of leave from WWE (4-6 months, I hope, which are used to create a new face of WWE in Bryan rather than a stand-in until Cena makes his triumphant return). They let him have a false moment where he embraced the fans, and ultimately accepted that he was at the summit of WWE. The arena even filled with confetti and fireworks, and Bryan thanked his parents in the process.
That is what made the familiar sound of "I hear voices…" a shock.
Bryan's position had been given enough time to sink in with the fans, and Orton and Triple H took that away from everyone. I am not ashamed to say that this is a storyline which could evoke the same emotion that the 'Summer of Punk' did from me in 2011. I find myself invested in this because it was given the time to make us all believe that Bryan was truly on top of the WWE mountain.
This is where this week's Raw had the most pressure put onto it.
The Bryan/Orton storyline is now at the forefront of everything WWE does heading towards its next 'big four' PPV, Survivor Series. In other words, three months of build towards one of two things (Bryan finally securing the WWE Championship from Orton, or the next really big step in a rivalry which could build all the way to WrestleMania XXX) all rested on the opening and closing 20 minutes of Raw.
Thankfully, WWE did deliver in making me excited for this storyline. I was made to truly loathe the words "best for business" when they came from the mouth of Stephanie McMahon (at one point I was hoping Bryan would put her in a Yes Lock – when I wish harm on Steph it is a sure sign that it is an effective promo), and when Bryan was led away by security it was a throwback to the countless times Mr. McMahon had Steve Austin removed from arenas.
Orton's 'Coronation' segment was almost flawless, with only two exceptions – I saw Roman Reign's Spear coming a mile off, and Orton's RKO was poorly executed. My cousin put it well when we were discussing the segment, likening The Shield to three of the Big Boss Man. This whole storyline is beginning as the famous 'Austin vs. McMahon' feud played out, and some will likely call it a rehash.
In some respects it is, as the whole concept of the angle is that McMahon wants what is best for business, as it was with 'Austin vs. McMahon'. Bryan is not the atypical "Corporate" face of WWE, much like Steve Austin was treated. In truth, the list of comparisons could go on, but you get the idea. It is a storyline which uses the WWE Championship as a beacon of power in the future of WWE as a company, and the superstar who holds the title is instrumental in how the company is perceived.
But is it really a bad thing if WWE is using the same storyline which brought it superiority over WCW to propel Daniel Bryan undeniably to the top of WWE as its new face?
I don't think so. We all knew that eventually Steve Austin would conquer the McMahons' stranglehold on his rise, and we all know that Bryan will eventually become WWE Champion for longer than five minutes. It is all just a matter of enjoying the ride, and Bryan vs. Orton matches have that reputation behind them.
The mystery lies in which other superstars will be heavily involved with Bryan's rise. The Shield are already involved as henchmen to the new 'Age of Orton', and Dolph Ziggler and Big Show (along with, presumably, Mark Henry) are also opposed to Orton's reign because of their comments post-SummerSlam.
The one superstar I do hope weighs into this at some point is, predictably on my part, CM Punk. In some ways this is his 'pipebomb' coming full circle as the superstars from the indie scene are making headlines and the McMahons are representing the holding back of talent which Punk eluded to multiple times in his rise to the main event. But this is a scenario which could be a long way down the road yet, for later discussion.
It is storylines like this which help a new generation of superstars to secure the reigns of WWE without the threat of the old guard (Big Show is the old guard, but his influence in putting The Shield over since their introduction to the WWE Universe is undeniable just because of his size and constant involvement with them) snatching them back, and they also bring long-time fans, like myself, to the edge of their seats just waiting for the next development.
Far from finished
At the start of this entry I mentioned that the CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar match at SummerSlam could have been considered the end of the Punk/Paul Heyman feud and left us happy.
Obviously, this is not the case and I am glad for it. I'm glad, not because I want to see Lesnar vs. Punk II at some point (although I, and most of you, probably do), but because it is still an extremely interesting storyline.
The build to SummerSlam saw anger, emotional outbursts (mainly from Heyman in his declarations of Punk breaking his heart), and mind games. In the aftermath of SummerSlam this is no longer the case.
From this point on, Punk is a sinner looking at Heyman as his redemption.
Punk's initial feelings of betrayal are, at this point, just sheer determination. A determination to end Heyman's claims that "we were both the Best in the World" is the driving force behind Punk's existence in WWE, and this week saw Heyman as a jovial victor in the wake of Punk's own mistakes.
Punk's desire to once again prove himself as the "Best in the World" by taking on all challengers once he returned at Payback was the beginning of the Punk/Heyman split. But it was Heyman's claims that Punk cannot be the "Best in the World" without him which caused his anger and ultimately his tunnel vision-incurred loss to Lesnar.
This leaves Heyman as the only barrier Punk can break down in order to reclaim, what he believes to be, his title as "the best wrestler in the world".
Raw was quite exclusive of which superstars and storylines it featured this week, and usually I would consider that as a bad thing. For once, this is not the case.
I looked at SummerSlam as the beginning of a new chapter for WWE, and although Bryan never walked out of the Staples Centre as WWE Champion he walked out as a genuine main eventer. Raw was touted at one point by Michael Cole as episode number 1,056 (or somewhere around that – I'm foggy on the exact number) this week, but it could have also been labelled as episode 1 in the build to a potential WrestleMania dream match.
In mid-August, this is all farfetched speculation, but Daniel Bryan entering 'Mania as WWE Champion is extremely possible. The farfetched part of all of this is that CM Punk could be the superstar he faces off with.
Depending on the conclusion of the Bryan/Orton feud, Punk could end his story with Heyman at the same time; leading to a match we have seen before in Punk vs. Bryan, but one which many would agree should be a WrestleMania main event.
This week's Raw could be explained as relatively narrow because it is the first piece of a puzzle which sees a new generation of superstars finally take their place at the absolute top of WWE.
This is all, like I said, speculation, but the WWE Championship is at the forefront of every major storyline in WWE right now.
This week's question: What was your initial reaction to Darren Young coming out, and do you think the push he is likely to get (and saw a glimpse of this week) is going to lead to bigger things for the Prime Time Players?
Thank you for reading #YYYTRR. Follow me on Twitter for more of my WWE-based views at @SpringerAJ.

Providing sustainable livelihood opportunities to vulnerable youth amongst the Syrian refugees and hosting communities in Dohuk and ErbilJul 16, 2014
The continuing unrest and instability in Syria is increasingly impacting the internal situation of Iraq, and particularly of the Kurdistan Region which in May 2014 is hosting 220,000 Syrian refugees. While the economy in the Kurdistan Region remains strong, there are challenges to secure sufficient income for Syrian refugees living in non-camp settings.
In order to promote community cohesion between Syrian refugees and the hosting communities, and promote durable solutions for the refugees' population, UNDP and the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) plan to provide sustainable livelihood opportunities to vulnerable youth amongst the Syrian refugees and hosting communities in Dohuk and Erbil. The main objective of the intervention is to help mitigate the impact of Syrian displacement through providing access to sustainable livelihood opportunities.
"This will be achieved by providing vulnerable Syrian refugees and hosting communities with access to livelihood skills trainings required in the job search and job placement. A sub-objective of the project is to build resilience amongst the hosting communities to take in the impact of the Syrian influx and stimulate integration of Syrian refugees with hosting communities" says Dr. Adam Abdelmoula, Country Director for UNDP Iraq. The project aims to provide the best protection environment for vulnerable Syrians.
"Syrian refugees and host communities members in Erbil and Dohuk will receive life skills training to enhance their professional abilities and livelihood skills required in the job market and will be put in touch with the employers DRC is currently working with for the past 10 months" says Anubha Sood, Programme Manager for DRC, "by doing so, Syrian refugees' are given the opportunity to work and at the same time to enhance their livelihood skills."
DRC and UNDP are looking forward to start this new programme which will help the host population to absorb the shocks of the Syrian influx and - at the same time - will promote self-reliance, resilience and empowerment amongst the Syrian refugees and contribute to the economy in the Kurdistan Region.Contact

Ashes celebrations: In the SCG sheds, old enemies became best mates
After threatening to break arms, they laid down their arms.
Following an Ashes summer not short on spite the Australian and England teams came together for three hours in the home dressing room at the SCG - and even Michael Clarke and James Anderson smoked the peace pipe.
The pair had clashed most prominently in Brisbane, where Clarke was fined for warning Anderson to ''get ready for a broken f---ing arm'' as the England tailender readied himself to face a frightening Mitchell Johnson.
They had history, too, with Clarke saying in his diary of the Ashes in England last year that Anderson was the only England player who didn't speak to him and the seam bowler subsequently labelling the Australian captain ''paranoid''.
The animosity stemmed from an incident in the victorious dressing room in Adelaide in 2006-07 in which Anderson, he claimed in his own book, hit Clarke with a batsman's pad after being egged on by the Australian's teammate Damien Martyn. There was no such tension in the Australian room at the SCG on Sunday night, however, as the two teams came together after a series dominated by the hosts.
Former Test batsman Dean Jones was present and was taken aback by the convivial atmosphere after Alastair Cook, England's captain, led his men in.
''They all paired off. [Michael] Carberry went off with [Chris] Rogers and they were in their own little corner of the showers talking about their game, Steve Smith and [Joe] Root, the young guys, were talking and Anderson was speaking to ''Pup'' … they were having a yarn; it was nice,'' Jones said.
''[Andy] Flower was speaking to ''Boof'' [Darren Lehmann]. All these so-called things that we thought were a problem … they were there for three hours. They didn't leave until 10pm.
''It was old school. I was so stoked to see everyone getting on. It was interesting - guys were giving advice on each other's games. Not giving away secrets but saying, 'Oh, we thought we were going to get you out like this' and 'You played this really well but you need to work on this more'. They were helping each other. I just couldn't believe the honesty, the way the guys were talking about each other's games.''
The Australian dressing room was heaving after the doors were thrown open, with wives and girlfriends, past players and friends and family sharing in the 5-0 triumph, sealed in three days in Sydney. Among them was John Rogers, the father of opener Chris who had struck a century that morning, his second in two Tests.
As the beer and bottles of Veuve Clicquot flowed Cricket Australia officials also celebrated. ''Pat Howard and James Sutherland were in a corner with a huge grin on their faces,'' Jones said. ''Pat Howard hasn't had too many nice things said about him in the past and we would have gone for his throat if they'd lost but they won five zip and nobody says anything about him.''
Jones added: ''It's always an honour to come into the dressing room … it's a privilege to be in the inner sanctum.''
Australian all-rounder Shane Watson said the England players had been ''really complimentary'' in the hours they spent together after the match.
''They were gracious in defeat,'' Watson said. ''They know they were outplayed. In the end it was nice now the Ashes series for a couple of years have finished we can have more of a normal conversation apart from it just being on the field which normally isn't that normal.''
The Australians were led by spinner Nathan Lyon through their victory song Underneath the Southern Cross three times on Sunday night. The first was on the pitch in front of a crowd of more than 40,000 and millions of television viewers, a break from the tradition of singing it in private.
Lyon explained the decision to take the team song public on Monday. ''It was pretty emotional,'' he said. ''To beat those guys 5-0 was something that we were all pretty proud of and I was speaking to Brad Haddin who I'm pretty close with in the side and we thought it would be a good idea.
''It hasn't been done before. There was a lot of emotional running high and we thought it was a great time. I'll give you the tip - it wasn't the only time we sung the song.''

Strange season continues for Colts
This team made success look easy, but it could be on downward slide now.
INDIANAPOLIS Ive covered the Indianapolis Colts since Tony Dungys first season, and this is the first time Ive been in a 6-5 locker room. Strange, indeed.
The Colts are in first place, but it doesnt feel like it. Theyve got one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, but he looks uncomfortable. They have a huge home game Sunday against a 3-8 Dallas Cowboys team that fired its coach midseason, and yet Im not sure the Colts will win.
Strange, indeed.
Its going to be difficult, its going to take hard work, it may not be as smooth or easy as it may have looked in the past, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning said. Its never been easy, but it may have looked easy in the past.
It looked incredibly easy in the past. The Colts record after 11 games the last five years, in reverse chronological order: 11-0, 8-3, 9-2, 10-1 and 11-0. This team has not been the same since management decided a shot at a perfect season was irrelevant last year. They lost to the Jets on purpose (or declined to win on purpose, if you prefer) last December and theyve had trouble winning ever since.
Beginning with that Jets game, the Colts are 8-8 in their last 16 games. Thats the definition of average.
Ive leaned most of this season toward figuring the Colts will right the ship, win the AFC South (where theyre tied with Jacksonville) and maybe find that playoff magic that led to a Super Bowl championship after the 2006 season.
Im not leaning that way quite so hard now. This looks more like a lost season every week. At the very least, its a strange season.
Last year, we had a lot of close games we could have lost and we ended up winning those games, defensive end Dwight Freeney said. This year, weve had a lot of close games and ended up losing those games. Thats just part of the National Football League and this is how it goes sometimes.
Freeney says no one is pushing the panic button. Like the rest of his teammates, he points out that the Colts remain in first place, control their own destiny and have time to regain a spot in the postseason picture.
But is it possible that the Colts decade of excellence has reached its tipping point toward a downward slide, where playoff berths can no longer be assumed, where games in late December mean something beyond a debate over whether to rest players? Or can this season be chalked up to tough breaks on injuries and, no matter how it ends, all will be better with healthy players next year?
The truth is its too early to tell which of the theories holds more weight. Theres enough talent, when healthy, for the Colts to contend as long as Manning is upright. But all the great teams had their slides, from the Green Bay Packers of lore to the Tom Landry-led Cowboys to the San Francisco 49ers of Joe Montana/Steve Young.
Linebacker Gary Brackett, who might return to the lineup this week after missing three games with a toe injury, understands how this season feels different to the fans. He acknowledges it has a different feel inside the locker room, too.
Its not something were accustomed to with our recent success seven years in a row with 12 wins, Brackett said. I think people kind of got spoiled by our success, not realizing how hard it is to win in the NFL. Its a tough place to play. Look at the parity in the league. Week to week, its hard to pick a winner. Thats the nature of the business.
We have to continue to improve, Brackett said. The good thing is were still tied in our division. We still have our destiny in our own hands.
Facing the Cowboys in their current state might be the worst-possible opponent this side of a rematch with the Chargers. The Colts rarely face the Cowboys, and the switch from Wade Phillips to Jason Garrett as head coach adds more uncertainty to preparations.
While Dallas quarterback Tony Romo remains sidelined, Jon Kitna has been decent in his place. Hes smart. He has some weapons, including Miles Austin, Jason Witten, Dez Bryant and Roy Williams. If he can avoid holding the ball too long and letting Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis tee off, he can move the football.
On offense, the Colts continue to struggle to run the football. While Mike Hart should be back this week, Joseph Addai is again doubtful.
The lack of a running game has helped trigger Mannings seven interceptions in the last two games. Without the Colts possessing even the threat of the run, defenses can lock in on Colts receivers and force Manning to hit the covered man. Some of his picks have been flukes the NFL told Colts coach Jim Caldwell that officials missed a pass interference call on one Chargers interception-return score but Manning has also felt the pressure of carrying a team on his shoulders and forced passes where they have no business going.
Were throwing the ball a lot, Manning said. Somebody said were on pace for 600-plus attempts. Thats more than anybody would have said theyd like to throw this year, more than Id like to throw from a goal standpoint.
Manning said the offense must become more three-dimensional, with the option of a drop-back pass, a run or a play-action pass on first down. Recently, the Colts have been decidedly one-dimensional, with the running game all but nonexistent.
Despite all their problems, the Colts still control their destiny.
Most times at 6-5 youre behind the eight ball in the division, Manning said. Other teams in our division have had some of the same things that happened to us, getting on a win streak, losing a few in a row. The team that finds consistency down the stretch will win the division. Hopefully thats us.
Any other year, the Colts would have this race in the bag.
This is not any other year. Colts fans must hope and perhaps pray that this is not the new normal.

HIALEAH, Fla. - A community is still in shock after a gunman opened fire, killing six innocent people on Friday night.
WPLG-TV reports investigators are trying to figure out why 42-year-old Pedro Alberto Vargas allegedly shot and killed three men and three women at an apartment building located at 1485 West 46th Street.
Before the shooting, came a fire.
Police say Vargas set fire to $10,000 in cash inside his home, apartment 408. His elderly mother was inside at the time. She narrowly escaped and ran to alert the property managers.
"When he started that fire, his elderly mom -- I'm hearing she's about 82-years-old -- she was in the apartment at that time. Mom tried to stop it, she is struggling with him," said Hialeah Police Detective Carl Zogby.
When those property managers, an elderly couple, ran toward the emergency, investigators say Vargas shot and killed them.
Vargas then allegedly ran back into his burning apartment and onto his balcony, where he started shooting across West 46th Street, firing possibly 10 to 20 shots.
One of those bullets hit a man, who was coming home from work with his 9-year-old son in the car. He heard the shots and shielded his child. The boy survived, his dad did not.
The incident continued from one floor to another and then into apartment 304, where a mom, dad, and their teenage daughter were shot.
The gunfire continued as Vargas made his way onto the 5th floor where he took a man and a woman hostage, using them as human shields.
"He pretty much ran in desperation and kicked the door open and held the hostages, thinking that would protect him. But in the end, that would not protect him," said Zogby.
By this point, at least 100 police officers had surrounded the complex. They spent three hours trying to negotiate a peaceful surrender and when that did not happen, police say SWAT members aimed and fired.
By daybreak, seven bodies were pulled out of the apartment complex.
On Saturday, candles burned bright and late into the night as those in this community embraced, supporting the family and friends who lost loved ones.
"I went up to them. I touched them both," said Shamira Pisciotti, who lost her parents.
Pisciotti says she saw her mom and dad, 68-year-old Samira and 79-year-old Italo Pisciotti, just before they died.
"She saw her mother with no pulse and her father's pulse was very weak," said Carlos Almandoz, Shamira's fiance.
The youngest victim is Priscilla Perez, a 17-year-old, who worked at a furniture store with dreams of becoming a nurse. She was a student at American Christian School where her principal and others knew her well.
The teen's mom was also killed. Merlis Niebles, 50, worked as a housekeeper.
The fifth victim is 64-year-old Patricio Simono, a maintenance worker and the sixth victim is 33-year-old Carlos Gavilanes. Gavilanes shielded his 9-year-old son from the gunfire.

Gomez sits with wrist injury, will likely get MRI
CHICAGO -- Carlos Gomez was not in the Brewers' lineup for Monday's series opener at Wrigley Field after leaving Sunday's game against the Giants with a left wrist injury.
Manager Ron Roenicke said that X-rays taken on Sunday were negative, but that an MRI will likely be conducted also. Roenicke was unsure to the severity of Gomez's injury, but said that the two-time All-Star exhibited a healthier demeanor Monday.
"I'm encouraged today," Roenicke said while noting that Gomez will likely miss more than a game. "You would think if it was really bad, it'd be worse today than it was yesterday."
Gomez said he felt a "pop" in the wrist during a third-inning strikeout, in which he spun 360-degrees before dropping the bat, conferring with head athletic trainer Dan Wright and ultimately leaving the game.
Roenicke said Gomez's more forceful swing than the typical hitter could have been a contributing factor to the soreness that led to the injury.
"Hand or wrist is not good for him," Roenicke said of Gomez, who has been the team's leadoff hitter in 88 of his 127 starts. "There's no easing back on swings, and the way he plays, his whole game depends on him being physically close to 100 percent."
Gerardo Parra took over Gomez's post in center field and batted sixth in Monday's series opener against the Cubs as he did Sunday. Since arriving from Arizona at the Trade Deadline, Parra has a .222/.286/.378 slash line with four extra-base hits, three walks and seven RBIs in 23 games, nine of which he's started.
"Any time you have one of your guys that sparks the team, when he's out of there and you can replace him with a guy that's really good, it makes a big difference," Roenicke said of Parra.
The team also called up utility outfielder Logan Schafer in an expected move as rosters expanded to 40 on Monday.

'"He came to BU and he was a quiet, hard-working guy, and he's the same way now," Grier said. "But he's evolved as a player, going from just a goal scorer to a really solid, all-around player who can be relied on in any situation. He kills five-on-threes for us, plays the power play, blocks a lot of shots. It's just nice to see how he's kind of evolved in that aspect as a player."'

The following is from a presentation by Ken Nordlund, clinical professor in the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, at the Cow Longevity Conference in late August. The conference was sponsored by DeLaval.
Q: Housing factors are as important as the ration itself ― maybe even more so ― in explaining why some cows sail through the transition period and others struggle. Is there one factor that seems to stand out?
A: A great ration can be fed, but if there are housing issues like overstocked pre-fresh pens, insufficient bunk space and inadequate bedding, that great ration will not deliver great results.
Feed bunk access affects how much the cows eat, which impacts fresh-cow diseases.
Sufficient space at the feeding fence for all transition cows to eat simultaneously appears to be the most important determinant of transition cow performance in our current industry.
In very practical terms, we are recommending a minimum of 76 cm (30 inches) of bunk space per Holstein cow in pre-fresh and post-fresh pens for a 90-minute period after fresh feed is delivered and after every milking.
To determine feeding space/cow, it is important to focus on length of bunk as opposed to counting self-locking stanchions or headlocks. In the U.S., headlocks come in a number of widths, including 61, 69, and 76 cm (24, 27, and 30 inches) intervals between each unit. Our video studies show that lactating Holstein cows fill a row of 61 cm (24 inches) headlocks to a maximum of 80 percent at peak feeding periods. This 80 percent maximal fill rate occurred in two and three row pens, each with various stall-stocking densities, suggesting that the finding was independent of the number of cows per headlock. Converting these numbers, it suggests that lactating Holstein cows will voluntarily fill a bunk at a spacing of one cow per 76 cm (30 inches). It is likely that pregnant prepartum cows would take even more space than lactating cows.
These recommendations for 76 cm (30 inches) of space assume that the pens are equipped with lockups or other vertical dividers between feeding spaces. If the cows are fed at a post-and-rail feeder, additional space should be provided in this situation as dominant cows appear to clear subordinates more quickly.
While we focus the most attention on bunk space in the close-up and fresh pens, the actual number of cows in these pens usually changes every day. If cows are transferred into the close up pen on a weekly basis, and if cows move to calving pens on a daily basis, there will be wide weekly swings in the number of cows in the pen. In addition, there will usually be seasonal changes in stocking pressure that track seasonal infertility and recovery by 10 months. Because of these pen dynamics, it is more useful to focus on the longer term capacity of the pens.
The traditional approach to sizing close up and fresh pens is to calculate the average number of calvings per week by dividing the total number of calvings in the past year by 52 weeks per year. Then the average number of calvings/week is multiplied by the target number of weeks in the pen. For example, if a dairy has an average of 20 calvings per week and the planned duration of stay in the close up pen is 3 weeks, most planning manuals suggest that the close up pen should be designed to house 60 cows. By definition, pens designed in this manner are overstocked half of the time.
We prefer to build special needs pens to accommodate the surges in numbers of special needs cows. Based upon a review of a number of Midwestern herd records, we have recommended sizing close-up and fresh pens for 140 percent of the average number of calvings. In the example from the paragraph above, we would recommend provision of not 60, but 84 stalls in the pre-fresh pen with an available bunk that is 73 meters (240 feet) in length. Sizing these pens on this basis will mean that these pens are overstocked less than 10 percent of the time. There are also times when pens sized on this basis appear to be substantially under-stocked, or as some would say, "grossly overbuilt." Our estimations of the impact of this practice suggest that this makes economic sense. Each stall and headlock in a pre-fresh pen has a multiplier effect in that it impacts the start of 10 to 15 lactations each year.

No-knead Pizza Dough
(Makes dough for 4 individual pies)
— Adapted from "My Pizza," by Jim Lahey.
3¾ cups (500 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for shaping dough
¼ tsp. active dry yeast
2 tsp. fine sea salt
½ cups water
Steps: Blend the flour, yeast and salt in a medium bowl. Add the water; mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or your hands.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel. Allow to rise at room temperature 18 hours or until it has more than doubled.
Scrape the dough onto a floured work surface. Divide into 4 equal parts and shape them: For each portion, start with the right side of the dough and pull it toward the center; then do the same with the left, then the top, then the bottom. (The order doesn't matter; what you want is 4 folds.) Shape each portion into a round; turn seam-side down. Mold dough balls into neat circular mounds. If the mounds are sticky, dust with more flour.
Do ahead: The dough can be made 3 days ahead. Wrap each dough ball separately in plastic wrap; chill. Before shaping disks, unwrap dough balls; let rest at room temperature on a lightly floured surface, covered with plastic wrap, 2-3 hours.
Shape the disk
Take 1 ball of dough; dust dough, work surface and your hands with flour. Press dough down and gently stretch it out to 6-8 inches. Gently continue, massaging it into a roundish disk of 10 to 12 inches, stroking and shaping with your palms and fingers. (Or, use Lahey's Hurricane method, on the cover.)
· Bake
If using a pizza stone, place it on a rack about 8 inches from the broiler. Heat oven on bake to hottest setting, 500-550 degrees, 30 minutes. (If using a baking sheet, arrange a rack in middle of the oven; heat to its hottest setting. Do not preheat the baking sheet.) Then switch to broil for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle a pizza peel (or inverted rimmed baking sheet) lightly with flour. Place dough disk on peel (or inverted baking sheet); top with desired toppings. With quick, jerking motions, slide pizza onto the stone. Broil until the top is bubbling and the crust is nicely charred but not burnt, 3 minutes. If using a baking sheet, bake pizza on baking sheet until bottom of crust is crisp and top is blistered, about 10 minutes.
Transfer to a work surface to slice. Repeat with remaining pizzas, allowing pizza stone to reheat under broiler for 5 minutes between pizzas
Margherita Pie: Spoon ¼ cup basic tomato sauce over a prepared dough disk, spreading evenly and leaving an inch of the rim untouched. Distribute 2 ½ oz. fresh mozzarella, pulled into 5 clumps, evenly over the pie. Slide the pie onto a heated pizza stone. Broil 3 to 4 minutes, until the top is bubbling and the crust is nicely charred but not burned. Transfer the pizza to a tray or serving platter. Sprinkle 3 T. Parmigiano-Reggiano and a pinch fine sea salt evenly over the pizza. Scatter 6 basil leaves on top.
Basic tomato sauce: Drain 1 can (28 oz.) peeled Italian plum tomatoes. Run tomatoes through a food mill over a bowl to create a pulp (not a fine puree; you want to retain some texture). If you don't have a food mill, just squish them with your hands. Stir in 2 T. extra-virgin olive oil and ¼ tsp. fine sea salt. (Sauce does not cook before going on pizza.)

There is something to be said for a workplace PC that's small enough to fit in a lunchbox yet powerful enough to work as your home theatre PC.
And the thing to be said is this: if you don't steal it, somebody else will.
I'm talking here about Lenovo's new ThinkCentre M92p Tiny PC, a desktop PC so tiny that Lenovo likes to photograph it next to golf balls, to show just how tiny it is. With a thickness of just 3.3 centimetres, the M92p Tiny is thinner than the diameter of a golf ball. And with a width of just 18 centimetres and a depth of just 18 centimetres, the PC is not much bigger than a delicious pastrami and tomato on rye.
It sells for a rather pricey $1269.
If you happened to take such a sandwich to work in a Tupperware container, chances are the M92P would fit into the container after lunch. (You might leave the power supply for a second trip, though. It's almost as big as the PC itself.)
Of course, it's probably not Lenovo's intention to make a PC so small as to invite workplace theft. Judging from the mounting bracket that came with our trial unit, it seems to be Lenovo's intention that you attach the M92p Tiny to the back of a monitor, turning that monitor into a very nice all-in-one PC. (Or, technically, an all-in-two PC. But same diff. Once it's attached to the back of your screen, you'll never notice the PC is there.)
And judging from the not-at-all-bad touch screen software included with the M92p, it indeed seems to be Lenovo's intention that you attach it to a touch sensitive monitor, making it very much like an all-in-one.
Once Microsoft's touch-friendly Windows 8 comes out in late October, an M92p Tiny attached to the back of a touch screen might be very nifty.
If I had an M92p strapped to the back of my monitor at work, however, my own intention would be a little different from Lenovo's: my intention would be to strap it to the back of my TV at home and turn it into a pretty decent home theatre PC.
All it would take is that aforementioned Tupperware (not included), some screws or cable ties (not included) to affix it to the TV, and a cable (not included) that takes the M92p Tiny's Dual-mode Display Port output and converts it to an HDMI input for your TV. That, and a bit of cheek (not included).
Now that I think about it, maybe Lenovo did have workplace pilfering in mind after all, when it designed the M92 Tiny. If the PC isn't meant to be cunningly repurposed as a home theatre PC, why else would it include a Dual-mode Display Port, when Dual-mode is specifically designed for HDMI output? Why would it include Intel Display Audio technology in the M92p Tiny – an audio device that I believe supports Dolby Surround Sound – if it was meant to be used at work?
I don't think Lenovo wants you to use this computer at work at all. With so many theft-friendly and home-friendly features, Lenovo is practically begging you to steal it and take it home. Not begging. Demanding. Steal this PC!
And why not? It's actually pretty powerful for such a small unit. The model we tested came with a 2.9 GHz Ivy Bridge Core i5 processor, and 4 megabytes of RAM which you might like to upgrade with another 4 gigabytes. Compared to other all-in-one PCs we've reviewed this year, and compared to the notebook PCs we've been reviewing lately, the Lenovo did very well in our benchmarks.
It should be noted that, in order for it to pass for a so-called "work-oriented" PC, Lenovo hasn't included a discrete graphics processor with the PC, relying instead on the graphics processor inside the Core i5. But don't be fooled! The graphics in Ivy Bridge aren't all that bad, and the machine will be more than powerful enough for all your home audio-visual needs. It didn't do too badly in our 3D graphics tests. It's not fast enough for demanding 3D games, but for casual games and for videos and music it will do just fine.
There's another reason, too, why you should take your M92p Tiny home, should you be lucky enough to be given one by your employer: it lies and deserves to be punished.
When we were setting up our review unit here in the Labs, we were utterly overjoyed to see that, as part of the installation process, Lenovo has given users the "Do Not Protect Me" option of not installing Norton anti-virus software. Typically when you get a new PC, you have to suffer through Norton's relentless nagging and irritating pop ups until you summon up the energy to uninstall the damned thing once and for all.
But not so with the Lenovo (or so we thought). When you start up the M92p, you're greeted with a Windows 7 desktop that – get this – has nothing on it but the wastebin! There is no junk, no bloatware on this PC. All that Lenovo has pre-installed is Google Chrome, an excellent alternative to Internet Explorer that I always install as one of the very first things on a new PC. I almost wept with relief and joy when I saw what Lenovo had done.
And then, despite having told the installation process not to install Norton, one of Norton's irritating pop ups popped up (ruining a benchmark test, I'll have you know) and I actually did weep. Damn you Norton! Damn you Lenovo for lying to me! Damn you M92p Tiny! I'm taking you home.

As the leadoff man and center fielder for the Detroit Tigers, Austin Jackson is likely on his way to appearing in the playoffs for the third time in his four major league seasons. Having missed a month earlier this year with a hamstring injury, the two-time American League triple leader is getting back up to speed, with two of his four triples this season coming in August. This week, the 26-year-old from Denton, Texas, who passed up a basketball scholarship at Georgia Tech to pursue his baseball career, sat down with Sporting News to answer some questions.
Sporting News: If you could trade places for a day with anyone in baseball, who would it be?
Austin Jackson: Miguel Cabrera. That would be pretty fun, see what that feels like.
SN: You get to see him play every day.
AJ: Yeah, but I don't do the same things he does.
SN: Well, I'm saying, getting to see him play every day and being up close, is it as good as it looks on TV, or if we get to see him in person, come to the park and see him?
AJ: Yeah. Seeing it in person—seeing it on TV, it doesn't do it as much justice where you get to see the pitches and see how quick he really is. He's a big guy, but he's really quick to the ball. It's pretty impressive.
SN: I was there in New York the other night when he hit the homer off Mariano Rivera after fouling the two balls off his leg. How does anybody do that?
AJ: I don't know. It's hard to explain. It's not easy to do it. You're going against arguably the best closer ever. To have an at-bat like that and finish it off with a home run, it's just unreal. I mean, to finish it off with a hit would have been great. To hit a home run to center... man. And when he hit it, I was like, "Man, that ball. Wow."
SN: Are you on Twitter?
AJ: No.
SN: How come?
AJ: I don't really get into the social media stuff too much. I kind of lay low a little bit.
SN: In that case, what do you do with your phone?
AJ: With my phone, I listen to music a lot, play video games, surf the Internet. In the off-season, I have dogs, and they pretty much take up a lot of my time.
SN: What kind of dogs?
AJ: I've got two French bulldogs, an English bulldog, and my girlfriend has a Yorkie. I'm not claiming the Yorkie.
SN: What are their names?
AJ: The two French are Mia and Roxie, two girls. The English bulldog is Titus and the Yorkie is Chloe.
SN: Baseball has a lot of unwritten rules. Do you have one that you don't particularly understand why it's there?
AJ: I think sometimes, like home runs, I don't understand why people get mad over guys that hit home runs showing emotion. It's that unwritten rule that if you don't hit a lot of home runs, you can't stand there and look. It's just showing emotion. You know, that's kind of showing up the pitcher, or the guy strikes you out and pumps his fist. It gets people mad and I don't understand why.
SN: I like the show of emotion.
AJ: I do too. I really do too.
SN: If you hit a home run on a major league field, I mean, I would go nuts.
AJ: I agree with you. I mean, you don't have to do something crazy, but you just hit a home run, it's out of your hands now. You strike out the side, you can show emotion. I don't really think it's—I mean, football, they show it. Basketball, they show it. They dunk on somebody, they stand over them. A guy hits somebody, dude might have a concussion, and they're yelling in his face.
SN: Aside from winning the World Series, what's one thing you'd like to accomplish in your career?
AJ: A Gold Glove would be really nice. That's a good one.
SN: Who's one athlete from another sport you'd like to see play baseball?
AJ: I'd kind of like to see—I've got two.
SN:You can say two.
AJ: I'd like to see LeBron play baseball because he's one of the most exciting athletes in all of sports. If he was taught to play baseball, you could see how a guy that tall and that big could play. I always wondered how it would be to see a football player play baseball, too. I'd like to see Adrian Peterson swing a bat, or be taught how to swing a bat. I don't think too many of us would have jobs if those guys knew how to swing the bat.
How would LeBron James fare on the diamond? (AP Photo)
SN:: What's your favorite ballpark to play in?
AJ: Seattle. I like Seattle. There's something about Seattle.
SN: Good town.
AJ: Yeah. Oh yeah. It's a nice town. I like the retractable roof. It's not that friendly to hit there.
SN: It's a big outfield to run in.
AJ: Yeah, it is.
SN: On steroids, are you happy with the way they're being dealt with right now and do you feel like you're playing in a clean league?
AJ: I think they're handling it the way that they're supposed to, and the system is proving that it works. Yeah, it's a tough subject with the stuff going on right now, but yeah.
SN: Is there a city you'd like to see down the road for expansion?
AJ: Hmm. How about Las Vegas? Maybe put a team in Las Vegas, what do you think of that?
SN: I've been there in the summer.
AJ: They have the minor league team, right?
SN: Yeah, the Mets' affiliate.
AJ: A major league team, they'd draw in a lot, I would imagine.
SN: It's a big city. They'd probably have to build a dome.
AJ: Yeah. It gets hot.
SN: The DH, do you like it or no?
AJ: I do like it. It's not fun watching pitchers hit, not at all. So, I like the DH.
SN: Do you like being the DH?
AJ: I've done it just a few times, never in my professional career, but I've done it in spring training and the minor leagues a couple of times. It's tough to be in the game the whole time. You try to stay loose, and go down to the cage, but it's not the same as being out there and running around, keep the sweat going to stay loose.
SN: I would think that's especially true being a center fielder and being mentally engaged being up the middle.
AJ: Yeah, the big thing is being in the game and not — some guys are great at it. You see them over there thinking about that last at-bat or the whole inning. It can be tough.
SN: Is there any stat you think is overrated, overplayed, people talk too much about it?
AJ: The WAR, wins above replacement, I don't really know where that came from. I started hearing about it a couple of years ago. I don't even know—I know what it means, but how do they get it?
SN: What stats do you find important?
AJ: For myself, runs scored, that's important. It helps you win games. I bat leadoff, and get that on-base percentage and average are also good.
SN: Complete this sentence: I am the only player in Major League Baseball...
AJ: That's tough.
SN: Something that makes you who you are.
AJ: The thing is, I don't know if anyone else can say some of the same things.
SN: That's true.
AJ: Yeah, that's a tough one. I don't know. It's tough.
SN: Is there a reason you wear 14?
AJ: They gave me that when I got here, so I stuck with it. Yeah, I don't know. That's a tough one. I haven't had to think about it.
SN: Any superstitions?
AJ: Not really. I don't have any superstitions, really. I'm not superstitious.

Mats Zuccarello hasn't decided to leave North America for the KHL just yet.
Almost immediately after Zuccarello's Rangers saw their season end—the New Jersey Devils eliminated them in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals on Friday night—reports surfaced that he'd agreed on a two-year deal with Metallurg Magnitogorsk, and the team itself announced the signing on its website.
That's not the case, Zuccarello's agent told ESPNNewYork.com's Katie Strang, saying that the 5-7 Norwegian winger has been contacted by the team but made no decision on where he'll play next season. Zuccarello took to Twitter to say the same.
Zuccarello just finished a two-year contract with the Rangers. New York failed to find a permanent spot for him; he spent most of the season in the minor leagues before scoring a pair of goals and adding an assist in six games as a power-play specialist. A broken wrist against the Buffalo Sabres, though, ended that run, and he was scratched for Game 5 and 6 against New Jersey despite completing his rehabilitation.
Zuccarello played two seasons in the Swedish Elite League before signing with New York after the 2010 Olympics, totaling 104 points (35 goals, 69 assists) in 90 games. If he does indeed opt for the KHL, he'd immediately become one of that league's top players and get the chance at stardom that eluded him in the NHL. Otherwise, he becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

Gonzalez manages for first time without Uggla
ATLANTA -- For the first time in eight seasons, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez will lead a team without Dan Uggla. Atlanta cut ties with the struggling veteran second baseman, releasing him on Friday afternoon.
"I've been with him a long time -- a very long time," Gonzalez said. "I don't think he's not been in a uniform in my managerial career someplace, whether he's in the lineup, on the bench, in the clubhouse, whatever. He's always been there."
They previously parted ways when the Marlins fired Gonzalez during the 2010 season, but they were quickly reunited as Braves for the '11 season. Gonzalez has witnessed Uggla decline from his All-Star days in Miami to one who Atlanta will pay an approximate $18.5 million, despite not being on the roster.
"It does, and it doesn't, because you see guys suffer," Gonzalez said when asked if Uggla's release saddened him. "You see guys that care about winning and losing, and he wasn't part of it. It doesn't make it harder. It is what it is, and I think it's good for both parties. And that's it."
Although they experienced an unfortunate end to their days on the same team, Gonzalez is thankful for the years he spent managing Uggla.
"That's something that I will cherish forever," Gonzalez said. "I think only maybe Bobby [Cox] and a couple of other guys got to experience Chipper Jones for 15 [years] and John Smoltz and those guys. He's my guy. He's the guy I've been the longest with. And hopefully there's other guys I can say, when my career's over, I can say that about, too."

It's always nice to see some video-tutorials
And it seems as you like to play around with metasploit, which is great!
How ever, I do have a few thing I would like to comment.
When you're making a video-tutorial, the copy/paste gets kind of boring. Why not type in the commands by hand? Write the commands down on a piece of paper next to your monitor.
When you're using db_hosts, tell us why you use that. Show us the db_add_host <ip-address>
When you're using autopwn, explain to us what the options do (db_autopwn -e -q -p)
When you're using nmap, again, explain to us why you're using the different options
I'll be looking forward to your next video

Was acting a bit retarded on the local course, there's a hole I can't really reliably play with anything else than overhead shot, thumber in this case, and I hurt a muscle or muscles in my upper arm because of it. First throw gave just a small indication of pain, second gave a proper one, and third time the charm, took my arm out of action for rest of the day.
I don't think it's injured too badly, but the pain pretty much stopped me from doing anything with the arm for few hours, and for now I'm taking a few days off as it starts coming back even when backhand throwing after a couple of hours.
It's one of the supporting muscles on the inner side of the upper arm, the pain is closer to the elbow than middle part of upper arm.
The question is how can I prevent this in the future? I'm pretty sure it has to be a technique flaw or do I just have such feeble muscles there that they can't take the stress of an overhead throw?
