Moral hazard in teams with limited punishments and multiple outputs
This paper studies incentive provision with limited punishments. It revisits the moral hazard problem with risk neutral parties and solves for optimal compensation schemes in situations where agents' participation is implied by a limited liability constraint. Providing minimum cost incentives to teams or individuals requires awarding high bonuses only when extreme performances are observed. Even when the first-best is attainable, the principal may prefer to induce more (or less) effort than it is sociably desirable because she only cares about the marginal cost of motivation. With positive production externalities joint bonuses are optimal. With limited liability on the principal's side, the optimal scheme becomes a tournament-even in the absence of externalities. The paper also looks at conditions that favor one incentive scheme over another when agents adapt their strategies as information becomes available.

Remember those wonderful high school days? A period of self-discovery completely ruined by the pressures of fitting in, mostly to avoid persecution from fellow classmates. You may have been a jock or one of those popular kids (weirdo) -- but if youre reading this, theres a good chance you were a geek like the rest of us. It wasnt easy hiding our love for comic books, Star Wars, or hair metal, but in some way it made us stronger and better people.
Thank goodness being a nerd has much more cachet now. From popular television (30 Rock), to high-grossing films (Superbad), America has learned to embrace its inner geek. Video games have even become more acceptable. Did anyone else see Ellen playing Guitar Hero the other day? While we celebrate our new status in pop culture, its important not to forget our past.

Black Uhuru, one of reggae's all time super groups and celebrated pioneers are back with a vengeance!
Five-Star General, Duckie Gong Simpson and his Lion Lieutenant, Andrew Bees, lead Black Uhuru's entrancing musical warriors into 2011 in the spirit of the true Rasta. Black Uhuru (which translates as "freedom" in Swahili), remain planted in their cultural roots of musical, political and spiritual convictions.
Back in the day, Black Uhuru broke the mold touring worldwide with The Clash, The Police and Rolling Stones, to name a few. Black Uhuru, the honored recipients of the first Grammy Award ever for reggae music, are at it again and are better and stronger than ever before performing songs from their forthcoming new album as well as their timeless hits.
Black Uhuru, known for their revolutionary attitudes both on and off the stage, unleash upon the world a dynamic production for its veteran fan base to embrace while allowing its new recruitment of fans to experience their inspiring lyrics, layered vocal harmonies, drum and bass rhythms, and the trademark Black Uhuru legacy which is permanently woven throughout music history. Black Uhuru's roots are deep, their shows are fierce and they, like their music, remain innovative and progressive to this day.
Have your ticket ready and don't forget your mind …
Mike Pinto has crafted an exceptional style of songwriting, with a truly unique take on Roots, Vintage Rock, Reggae, Ska and Classic Surf, but it's his distinct voice and seamless storytelling that has brought him success both in the States and overseas. With the release of his debut album (Little District, 2005), Pinto began his attack on the Philadelphia music scene as a solo artist. By 2006, underground success and a rabid growing fanbase allowed him to expand westward with two nationwide solo acoustic tours. After the second tour, Pinto decided to relocate to San Diego where he immersed himself in the thriving Southern California music scene and quickly gained a name.
Pinto's music quickly traveled out of the continental States and can be found on Japanese compilations, on Hawaii's top radio stations by huge supporter and top radio personality Shaggy Jenkins as well as topping charts in Guam. As in Pinto fashion, the hype was followed up with tours where he sold out shows in Guam, Big Island, Maui and Oahu, creating even more buzz in the wakes.
In late 2007 Pinto teamed up with professional skateboarder and legendary Drummer/Producer Chuck Treece (Pearl Jam, G Love, Bad Brains, McRad) and released his most complete work to date. With Treece lending his knack for producing and playing a number of the instruments on the album, Pinto's self-titled album has sold tens of thousands of copies worldwide. The album gained so much attention that Pinto was urged to follow it up with an entirely acoustic version of which was released in 2008.
With a focus on creating community and delivering a live show reminiscent of Vintage Rock and Roll, there is no denying the impact Mike Pinto will have in 2010.
- Released acoustic album "Everything I Got" April 2009
- Three national tours (two with a band) in a 6-month period (July '09 –Nov. '09)
- Has played live shows with horns/members of Slightly Stoopid and Sublime

A man charged with being an al Qaeda terrorist failed to appear at a court hearing yesterday after questions arose about his mental health because of his aggressive behavior.
Ibrahim Suleiman Adnan Adam Harun, 43, is charged with attacking US forces in Afghanistan and plotting bomb strikes against American diplomatic facilities in Nigeria, in a case unveiled publicly earlier this week.
Although he provided information to US investigators after his arrest in Italy in 2011, Harun has become combative and angry — and at times has spit at officials while being locked up in federal detention facilities, sources told The Post.
At a court hearing yesterday, defense lawyer Susan Kellman told a Brooklyn federal judge that her client would not appear because he was "not feeling well."
Judge Brian Cogan said he was ordering the transcript sealed and ruled that experts needed to assess Harun's condition.

Sunday Dinner: Grilled Pork Tenderloins with Jamaican Spices
Pork tenderloin is a fabulous cut of meat. It's easy to flavor and cooks in a relatively short amount of time. Like chicken, it can be seasoned with just about anything. In this recipe, the pork is coated with a fragrant Jamaican style-mixture. Garlic, lime juice, fresh thyme, ginger, and ground spices are combined to make the rub that is massaged into the meat. This dish would be wonderful at an informal dinner party. Serve with plantains or rice for a Caribbean style feast.

McDonald?s rides rich media wave in latest mobile marketing push
McDonald?s has turned to rich media again to take its new mobile marketing campaign to a whole new level and encourage consumers to learn more about its latest chicken wraps.
The fast food giant is one of the few companies that really has taken over the mobile advertising ecosystem. Over the past few years, McDonald?s has dipped its toes in mobile banner ads, rich media efforts and Apple?s iAd network.
?Fast food restaurants have long been epitomized as a prime example of unhealthful food,? said Shuli Lowy, director of marketing at Ping Mobile.
?McDonalds is using mobile to build engaging campaigns to help transform their brand image to suit the newer, healthier America,? she said.
Ms. Lowy is not affiliated with McDonald?s. She commented based on her expertise on the subject.
McDonald?s did not respond to press inquiries.
Rich wraps
McDonald?s is running the interactive mobile campaign within Pandora?s iPhone application.
For this specific effort, the fast food giant is promoting its new Premium McWrap.
The company is running a mobile banner ad that includes a photo of the new McWrap and entices consumers to unwrap a feast of freshness.
When consumers tap on the ad, it expands to a bigger picture of the Premium McWrap. From there, users can tap on the package to release flavor.
As they tap, the background changes climates ? cloudiness, rain and, ultimately, sunshine.
After consumers ?release the flavor,? they can also learn more about the new product through the interactive effort.
For example, when users scroll down, they see a road, with hills, houses and buildings and billboards that expand.
When expanded, the billboards let consumers learn more about the new product and what ingredients go into it, as well as browse recent flavor additions.
The Premium McWrap features three flavors such as Chicken and Bacon, Chicken and Ranch and Sweet Chili Chicken.
?The caption on the banner promotes ?a feast of freshness,? the wrap encasement features fresh looking vegetables and latter pages highlight in bold letters ?tomatoes,? ?cucumbers,? and ?lettuce,?? Ms. Lowy said. ?This is entirely different from the classic double cheeseburger and fries we?ve become accustomed to seeing.
?Mobile is an excellent channel through which to attempt this 360-turnaround because it?s a place where consumers get to hands-on interact and get to know brands,? she said.
?When the content is delivered in rich media it creates an even more alluring engagement opportunity as well as more visibility to increase the campaign penetration.?
What is interesting about this campaign is that there are many components to it.
By adding different variants to the marketing mix, McDonald?s is able to offer consumers a new way to interact with its products.
Not only is the campaign an educational one, but with rich media, it takes the experience to another level.
Furthermore, the campaign is targeted and also lets consumers find the nearest McDonald?s location to try the products in person.
In addition to mobile banner ads, the fast food giant is also running audio ads to promote the product.
?Promising brands are those that have the audacity to dig into new, creative marketing channels as well as the sensibility to evaluate each effort individually and sometimes choose the archaic channels because they just work,? Ms. Lowy said.
?Nothing could be truer in the world of mobile,? she said. ?McDonald?s ability to test the waters and remain at the forefront of implementing new mobile creative options while simultaneously engage in classic SMS campaigns (considered by many the most effective mobile marketing channel) demonstrates that they know how to navigate the mobile sphere."
Final Take
Rimma Kats is associate editor on Mobile Marketer, New York

Magpies complete Hawley deal
Notts County have won the chase for Karl Hawley after signing the striker for an undisclosed fee from Preston.
Last Updated: 03/08/09 6:17pm
Notts County have won the chase for Karl Hawley after signing the striker on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee from Preston North End.
Hawley had been wanted by former club Carlisle United, however, the 27-year-old has opted to link up with the ambitious Magpies in League Two.
Meadow Lane boss Ian McParland had been a long-term admirer of Hawley and is delighted to have secured a deal for the front man.
"Karl is a player we have had on our shortlist for most of the summer," McParland told the club's official website.
"He wasn't available when we enquired about him a few weeks ago, but since then things have changed at Preston and we learned last week we might be able to get him.
"Karl has been prolific at this level and also higher up the football pyramid, so I am really pleased to have him on board."
Hawley, who scored 26 goals during Carlisle's promotion-winning League Two campaign in 2005/06, began his career with Walsall and had loan spells at Raith and Hereford before joining the Cumbrians in 2004.
He scored 51 goals in 137 appearances for the Brunton Park club before following his old manager Paul Simpson to Preston in 2007.

Max Max is Avalanche Studio's (Just Cause 2) latest next-gen game. A pre-rendered trailer of the game was shown to the world at Sony's press conference during E3. However we never got to see what the game actually looked like until now.
The only thing which I'm worried about is the fact that unlike Just Cause which let you drive planes, boats, jets, variety of vehicles basically...will Mad Max let us do the same. I mean this is a world where oil supplies are low and hard to come by surely things like Planes/Jets wouldn't be in the game.
Great to see good devs get good IP. This has the potential to be the next Arkham.
Looks interesting
But i want too much for ps4 now ...
Hope it's as fun as Just Cause 2 but with a more living world. JC2 felt oddly empty at times, plenty of vehicles, but the world felt oddly lifeless.

Old Firm derby
The exclusion of Rangers and Celtic from the riches and glamour of the English premiership is discriminatory
Sir, In response to the challenge of Matthew Parris to generate a positive reason to vote No (Mar 1), I suggest that Mr Cameron studies the makeup of the 1,200,000 people of the West of Scotland, most of whom love football.
If his real argument is genuinely "better together" then he should offer these people something truly positive; the most effective way of doing so is to guarantee that Celtic and Rangers will play in the English Premiership. For far too long these giant clubs have been excluded from England and a share of the richesse because they are Scottish. No other businesses are treated in such a discriminatory way, and it irks many Scots. If Cameron was smart enough, he could ensure that these…

Not Fade Away
TWILIGHT The House of Pizza and Calzone, where calzones get equal billing on the awning, will change hands at the end of the month.
PHOTOGRAPHS BY Adam K.
"Everything has to end eventually," Enofrio Gaudioso was telling us the other day, in between folding calzones and sharing yarns about pizza past. "It's time."
For Mr. Gaudioso, that time arrives in less than two weeks, when he turns off the oven at his Red Hook pizzeria, the House of Pizza and Calzone, for the final time, passing the pizza peel to a new owner. It will be the first time in forty-six years when pizza won't be on his mind.
In New York, a pizza shop shuttering is almost akin to a hack running a red light. Most of the time, it hardly merits attention. That's because pizza always seems to resurface somewhere. In this instance, the countertop cases at 132 Union Street will soon display the work of another proprietor. What's lost is the personality behind the pie, the soul behind the sauce. To be sure, we like the wares at House of Pizza and Calzone. But we like what it embodies even more.
Mr. Gaudioso is one of those hangers-on we hear about on occasion but don't encounter often enough: a little gruff on the outside but warm and giving on the inside. Dedicated to his craft but even more to his customers. "I'll miss the people," he says. "But that's it."
Slice has been frequenting House of Pizza and Calzone recently, and Friday found the Slice czar and I indulging in some, well, pizza and calzone. Mr. Gaudioso serves a proud pie without being pompous. Nothing artisanal, and no hard-to-find ingredientsevidence that care often counts most in producing a perfect pizza. The reheated slices look unassuming, but have a strong sauce atop a neatly charred (if somewhat thick) crust; they sell for $1.75 apiece. Then, the calzones. Pockets of pizza dough stuffed with a ricotta-and-mozzarella mixture and small chunks of ham before being deep-fried for several minutes. (Ham is not available in the calzones on Fridays, and these are what we sampled.) One could suffice as a meal by itself, making its $4 price tag a bargain.
NAMESAKES A plain pie that E-Rock and Adam K. ordered two Saturdays ago (left) and a deep-fried calzone (yes, deep-fried) fresh out of the hot oil (right). You can see Mr. Gaudioso removing the pockets from the fryer above. Below right is a barely discernable depiction of cheese oozing from a hot calzone; Seltzerboy and the shop's pizzaioli can be seen in reflection.
After dining, we swapped a few words with Mr. Gaudioso. In his quiet, raspy voice he chewed the fat with us on a number of subjects: life in South Brooklyn before Robert Moses plowed through (the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway is one block east); the contendas from the docks who were common customers; a hot-dog stand nearby a half cenutry ago; and, oddly enough, competitive eating. (The House of Pizza and Calzone records, attained at separate times, are thirteen slices and five calzones. "Fughetaboutit," Mr. Gaudioso says.)
We asked a few more questions, reminisced over some old pictures, and perused some yellowed newspaper clippings on the wallamong the few things still remaining on the nearly bare walls. Mr. Gaudioso then treated us to a few zepoles topped with a smattering of confectioners' sugar.
House of Pizza and Calzone is pizza without the complications. Before New York pizza became an overhyped destination food, purveyors without pretension were the standard. House of Pizza and Calzonepizza without the complicationsis one of the few that remains. The neighborhood characters who wander in and out, including the employees, are the only toppings needed for these pies, and there's no extra charge. It's one of those places many use as their extended living room. When you go, enjoy it all. Just be sure to do it soon.

In the previous segments of the this blog entry, much attention was paid to History channel documentary reenactments of the ancients of Africa, particularly the Ancient Egyptians. Ancient Egypt has been the most popular subject of 'western' fascination and romanticism, but this sort of thing has not been limited to just Egypt. It has been extended to other African complexes, from Timbuktu, the Great Zimbabwe, to ancient Abyssinia (modern day Ethiopia). A good example of this can be seen in the portrayal of an Ancient Abyssinian kingdom in the now 9 year old comedy flick of the title "The Hot Chick".
including topics around Mitochondrial DNA [e.g. M1, U6, U5...], Y haplogroup [e.g. E3b, E3a, R1a, R1b, J1, J2...], microsatellite sequences, and other DNA loci .

Osun State Government has demolished 3,000 school buildings out of the 4,000 identified to be dilapidated across the 30 local government areas in the state.
However, the government has allayed the fear of residents on the planned merger of the primary and post primary schools in the state, saying the aim is to totally overhaul the education sector for the benefit all stakeholders.
But old students of Fakunle Comprehensive High School, Osogbo, one of the affected schools have condemned the action, saying it would further aggravate the problem of the students who would travel several kilometres to get to their new school.
Chairman, Osun Schools Infrastructure Development Committee, Chief Lai Oyeduntan, while speaking with newsmen, said the committee had identified schools with dangerou sly dilapidated structures.

Bengals Kicker Shayne Graham Vents Contract Frustrations on FacebookJuly 17, 2009
It looks like Chad Ochocinco isn't the only Cincinnati Bengals player utilizing social networking services. Kicker Shayne Graham is getting in on the action too.
Since being hit with the franchise tag back in February, Graham has been relatively quiet as he and his agent Rob Roche have attempted to negotiate a long-term contract with the Bengals.
Back in May, Graham talked to the Cincinnati Enquirer about his one-year, $2.483 million franchise deal: "It's a lot of money for one year, but having that certainty of a long-term deal gives you a little more security."
Graham, the most accurate kicker in NFL history, has not spoken with the Enquirer about the situation since then.
Earlier this month, Graham gave Bengals.com a short quote on his frustrations with how the negotiations were going.
"There hasn't been any progress since [last year]," Graham told the team's official website. "I've given up making predictions. I never thought I would be the franchise player, but it will work itself out."
Graham may have been spinning things for the Bengals website, because only two hours after the 4 p.m. July 15 deadline passed for teams to lock up tagged players, Graham had this to say via Facebook (suggesting things might not work out):
"How can a team give you the franchise tag showing your value to them, but not agree to a long-term deal because they want a discount. Makes no sense. Uugggghh."
Over 20 of Graham's 850 friends commented on the situation, and one even said, "sounds like this is your last year in cinci."
The friend's comment wouldn't be relevant except that Graham didn't deny anything his friends suggested.
His response to many of them [and I'm paraphrasing all of his comments into one here] was, "I'll play out this year and we'll see what happens."
Graham is obviously unhappy with his situation.
Historically, the Bengals have been kind to kickers, as they've only had four since 1981 (although there were instances, like during Graham's injury last season, where another kicker played for a game or two).
However, the team seems unwilling to give Graham the contract he wants.
The Bengals have a history of shortchanging everyone from players to fans to N'Sync (they tried to charge the boy band for some messed-up grass after a concert earlier this decade).
It's hard not to be on the side of the Bengals' red-headed rightie.
**Update: Citing two anonymous sources and not Shayne Graham, the Cincinnati Enquirer's Joe Reedy claims that this profile is fake. I strongly disagree, Graham has several of his high school friends on this profile and one girl that we both know. I am 99.9 percent sure this is a real profile. **
**Update II: I exchanged emails with Joe Reedy from the Cincinnati Enquirer. He feels strongly about his sources, I sent him some evidence, the bottom line is we both agreed that the other person could potentially be correct, Reedy changed his headline to 'Shayne Graham Facebook Rumor.' He was very professional and I'll still be following him as he covers the Bengals for the Enquirer this year.**

For much of its 108 years, the Venice Biennale has been the art world's equivalent of a motor show. Every two years, the 30 or so pavilions in the Biennale gardens polish up their new artistic vehicles, taking their national identities out for a spin. This year, with over 60 countries vying for prizes, organizers have sought to defuse possible tensions. In the medieval ship-building spaces of the Arsenale, next to the Giardini, Biennale director Francesco Bonami presents hectares of art that blurs international borders and, in the final "Utopia Station" section, has a Buddhist monk chanting a mantra of peace. If the 50th Venice Biennale seeks to explode the old nationalistic model, its defining work is perhaps Dami�n Ortega's Cosmic Thing, 2001. Here in the rear of the Arsenale, the Mexican artist dismantles a 1983 Volkswagen Beetle, and suspends it by wire, piece by piece.
Yet despite all the talk of deconstruction, the Biennale remains something of a car show for Australia and New Zealand. "Up until now, being able to produce your own car has been the symbol of the sophistication of a society - it's the top of engineering, it's the greatest thing you can do," says New Zealand's co-curator, Boris Kremer. "These days, it would seem it's maybe less about cars and more about art." It's a moot point in the case of Kiwi artist Michael Stevenson, who for the Biennale has placed a restored 1960s Land Rover lookalike smack bang in the middle of the round 18th century church of La Maddalena.
Owner of a finely calibrated sense of irony, Stevenson was inspired by the world of Italian advertising, which often places cars in classical settings to suggest the timelessness of the vehicles' design. "And now we've got this ridiculous design within this very classical architecture," Stevenson says.
His installation, "This Is the Trekka," doesn't celebrate any ordinary car. In 1966, at the height of the Cold War and with the world anticipating imminent nuclear conflict, isolationist New Zealand sought to produce its own cross-country automobile. But with no history of Henry Ford�style mass production, Auckland businessman Noel Turner's novel idea was to secretly import Skoda engines and chassis from iron-curtained Czechoslovakia, for which he bartered dairy products and suitcases full of sausage casings.
If the Trekka's story, which ended in 1972 with the introduction of Japanese cars to New Zealand, seems stranger than fiction, so too is Stevenson's exhibition. Around his comical khaki box on wheels ("You can have it any color as long as it's green," was the car's original sales pitch), the artist has erected walls of Warholian boxes, on which Creamery Butter replaces Brillo pads. Retro TVs display 1960s anticommunist propaganda, while a photo by Marti Friedlander shows New Zealanders demonstrating against the Soviet suppression of the Prague Spring. Did we mention the table of sausage casings?
But perhaps Stevenson's strangest exhibit is a 2-m-high hydraulic computer known as the "Moniac." Designed by the economist W.A. Phillips in 1949, it is a labyrinth of Plexiglas pipes filled with red fluid to represent money circulating through New Zealand's economy. "Linked, the Trekka and the Moniac become a wishful mixed metaphor," writes co-curator Robert Leonard in the catalog. "The Trekka powering the national economy, making it pump."
Employing fictional devices and conspiracy theories, Stevenson cleverly concocts a time capsule of New Zealand before globalization, of innocence mixed with paranoia. (His previous exhibition used a similar technique to document German artist J�rg Immendorff's disastrous visit to Auckland in 1987, just as the world's stock markets collapsed.) And so, with "This Is the Trekka," a car is not a car but a bittersweet metaphor for a country's search for artistic autonomy.
Half an hour's vaporetto ride away, in the middle of the Giardini, the Australian pavilion, too, is awash with car culture. Enter architect Philip Cox's backyard shed-like structure, and artist Patricia Piccinini greets visitors with a row of fluorescent racing car helmets. Down some stairs, her sculptures are arranged on pristine white-upholstered car interiors. "I'm in a car every day," says Piccinini of her aesthetic obsession. "I drive around a lot."
But there's a point to her car fetish. Piccinini is interested in how everyday life is being shaped by technology - in particular, by what she sees as the relentless production line of genetic engineering. At the heart of her Venice show is a video called Plasmid Region, an icky David Cronenberg-type affair in which an animated stem cell gives birth to alarming new biological forms. "That's the beautiful and frightening thing," says Piccinini, "because it just keeps making them. Making and making and making."
The rampant creation of Plasmid Region parallels Piccinini's own artistic outpouring. Call her the Henry Ford of Australian contemporary art. Piccinini's Venice installation, "We Are Family," showcases her latest, beautifully manufactured progeny. Made from silicone, acrylic and human hair, what looks like a cross between a human and a pig is surrounded by her sucklings. Nearby, two pre-teen boys, Ollie and Solly, lean against a wall engrossed in a game of Nintendo, prematurely aged like the cloned sheep Dolly. Upstairs, a young girl plays with a litter of moist, fleshy biotech lumps. Intimate in scale and melancholy in mood, Piccinini's "family" is a gently cautionary tale of what could happen when we treat human life as if it were another car on the production line.
Meanwhile, back at La Maddalena, Michael Stevenson is opening up the bonnet of his car for public scrutiny. "It's just a very intriguing object when you understand the way it's put together," he says, revealing the Czech motor within the body of his Kiwi Trekka. Whether journeying back to a fearful past or zooming towards a frightening future, both Australia and New Zealand offer visitors to the Biennale similarly challenging glimpses of their nation's psyches. n

The name of New York City's most elusive snake is Mia (MEE'-uh) for "missing in action."
The moniker won out over four other finalists Thursday in a contest to name the slippery Bronx Zoo cobra. More than 33,000 nominations were submitted to the Bronx Zoo and New York Daily News for the contest.
The venomous Egyptian cobra went missing two weeks ago and quickly became the stuff of legend. Someone even started pretending to be the cobra on Twitter. The animal was found a week ago in a dark corner of the reptile house.
Other finalists in the naming contest:
- Cleopatra.
- Agnes, which is Greek for pure or holy.
- Amaunet, an ancient Egyptian goddess. It means "the female hidden one."
- Subira (soo-BEE'-ruh), Egyptian for "patient."

- Belgian Grand Prix
Webber bemoans another poor start
- Race:
- Belgian Grand Prix
Mark Webber said his race was badly hurt by another poor start as he eventually finished fifth in the Belgian Grand Prix.
Webber lined up third on the grid for the race but dropped back to sixth place before he'd even reached Eau Rouge as Nico Rosberg, Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso came past. Webber was only able to regain one of those places as a result of Button's late pit stop and he admitted that the poor start hurt his race as he didn't have the gear ratios to pass Rosberg ahead.
"That was it really, after that," Webber said. "The preparation - the two starts we did on the formation laps taking the car to the grid weren't good at all so we had some discussions about how we could get the clutch to improve across the period before the start of the race. We'll go through it now but obviously it made it very tricky to read what was going to happen.
"When you're then out of position obviously trying to clear people you use the tyres a lot more. You then interrogate what type of top gear you have; the top gear is good for free air but when you're trying to pass people with DRS it's difficult to get the ratios right for passing, so I would have sat behind Nico all day. It was very difficult to pass him; he was strong in sector one because I think they had more wing for a rainy day and we didn't have the top speed to clear him in sector one."
Webber added that running the hard tyre in the middle of the race was an attempt to use strategy to pass the cars in front.
"We had to try something. A two stop for me with the prime in the middle was gambling to try to do something against the Mercedes. When you're on the back foot like that you've got to try something different, so in the end track position was our Achilles Heel today. Pace wasn't really a problem - well we didn't really get to see it - when you get consecutive laps in free air, we know free air in the category at the moment is nice to have."

Usher Wins 2012 TheDrop.fm Music Award for Best R&B Song
Usher has won the 2012 TheDrop.fm Music Award for Best R&B song for his ubiquitous love ballad 'Climax.'
Produced by Diplo, the song became the crooner's 12th No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart last year.
We shouldn't be too surprised that the song won. Usher's heartbreak story of a failed relationship resonated with fans in 2012. In addition, the song garnered a nomination in the Best R&B Performance category for the 2013 Grammy Awards.
Usher's 'Climax' led the field with 31 percent of the votes to win our illustrious Best R&B song award. It surpassed chart-topping ballads from fellow singers Miguel ('Adorn'), Elle Varner ('Refill'), Chris Brown ('Turn Up the Music') and Rihanna ('Diamonds'). Now that is a climatic achievement.
Congratulations Usher! We wish you the best in 2013.

AIKEN — Ronald Zimmerman returned to the gym late Saturday night – just before midnight – to work on his game.
The extra effort paid off in a big way.
Zimmerman scored a team-high 15 points and No. 20 USC Aiken pulled away late for a 69-57 win over No. 25 Wingate in the second round of the Division II Tournament on Sunday night at the convocation center.
The Pacers (24-7) will play host to Barton for the Southeast Regional championship – and a trip to the Elite Eight – at 7 p.m. Tuesday. USC Aiken is making its second Sweet 16 appearance in school history, first since 2009.
"It means a lot to be able to play and reach another goal if we win," senior point guard Re'mon Nelson said. "But it's also just another game for us. We came in wanting to win three games, one game at a time."
The Pacers, the Peach Belt Conference regular season and tournament champions, avenged last season's Division II Tournament first round loss to Wingate. USC Aiken shot just 43 percent from the field against the Bulldogs, but Zimmerman bounced back from a three-point effort in the Division II opener against Belmont Abbey on Saturday to lead the way. The junior guard shot 5 for 8 from the field with four 3-pointers.
"I was just trying to put up shots," Zimmerman said about his late Saturday shootaround. "I was trying to get my confidence going. I just put up enough shots to where I felt comfortable."
USC Aiken didn't get in its comfort zone until midway through the second half. Paul Larsen, who posted 12 points and 10 rebounds despite playing in foul trouble, ignited a game-changing 11-0 run with his signature left-handed layup. After a Jesse Seilern free throw, Wingate's Ryan Daye missed the front end of a 1-and-1.
Seilern then made a 3-pointer. Larsen followed with a putback.
Then, Seilern stole the ball from Ethan Kincaid at midcourt, went in for a fast-break layup, got fouled and drained the free throw.
All of a sudden, USC Aiken led 53-42 with eight minutes remaining.
"We thought we had more depth," Pacers coach Vince Alexander said. "We thought we could wear them down. And that's what I think we did."
After getting off to a slow start, USC Aiken shot 56 percent from the field in the second half.
Santoine Butler finished with 11 points and three blocks, while Nelson added 10 points.
Wingate (22-9), the South Atlantic Conference Tournament champion, shot 38 percent from the floor, including a 3 for 13 effort from the perimeter.
Ryan Daye shot 6 for 14 from the field for 14 points to lead Wingate. Odell Turner added 13 points and seven boards.
"It was a lot like imagined," Wingate coach Brian Good said. "I thought the key would be handling their pressure and making sure we got good shots. I thought we did a good job of that the first 20 minutes."

About Lightfastness
You have joined an organization that works hard to make artists aware of the issue of lightfastness. No matter what your artistic goals may be, it is devastating to think that all or parts of your artwork could disappear. And that is a real danger when artwork is exposed to light, particularly the UV rays in sunlight. Certain pigments may fade, change hue, or even disappear completely. The least stable colors are hot pinks, purples, blues, reds and oranges, while browns, grays, and other neutrals generally remain unchanged. It will be worth your time to learn more about the lightfastness of the colored pencil products you use.

La Riforma del Welfare, il Paygo, i nuovi Ammortizzatori per il Mercato del Lavoro
[Reform of Welfare System, Scale of functioning of PayGo, and development of modern Unemployment Benefits]
The scale of PayGo has a maximum level of functioning over which nevative effects prevail over positive ones. This means that, with almost all PayGo possibilities dedicated to pensions and health care (acute and Ltc), little or nothing remains for financing unemployment benefits schemes or other welfare expenditures. This "saturation" of PayGo possibilities clearly emerges in the projections contained in the Stability Program of Italy, 2012 issue. The same "saturation" situation would probably emerge if computations were developed on the Stability Program of any Western Europe country.

Dow Building Solutions will be presenting their new loft insulation material at the Ecobuild Exhibition in London this week. Dow are the designers of Styrofoam insulation and their new product, termed Xenergy SL has been designed especially for households with inverter flat roofs. It combines some of the existing features of Styrofoam, such as durability, reliability and strength, with infra-red blocking particles which scatter and reflect heat radiation within the foam board. It comes in a steel-grey colour and is available in thicknesses of 100, 120, 140 and 160mm.
The product is a form of extruded polystyrene (XPS) and is an extension of the already popular ROOFMATE SL-A range and delivers 11% improved performance. Roof designers and contractors will be the first to be offered the new product
Richard Powell, Roofing Manager for Dow Building Solutions, said "We have a long track record of innovation within the construction industry, and we're proud to introduce Xenergy SL as our latest technical advance. As we make further improvements to the thermal conductivity of our products building designers have even more potential to reduce the thicknesses required, which is key in roofing applications. The great thing about Xenergy is that it delivers those improvements without compromising on the key attributes of XPS such as high compressive strength, low water absorption and excellent freeze/thaw performance."

Discussion Question 1 in an hour - disenfranchised in our democracy
In 1787, the Constitution was drafted with a Preamble to explicitly state that the origins of power in this new democracy resided not with a king, but with the people. "We the People" has generally evolved over the years to include more than it did in the late 18th Century. In your opinion, are there still groups who are disenfranchised and are not considered as an equal source of power in our democracy?

Jets' defense puts a lot on the line for Bills
The Buffalo Bills will try to prevent Sunday's game from turning into a horror story titled: "The Defensive Line That Ate Orchard Park."
The New York Jets' defensive line was a bad matchup for the Bills in Week Three, and it has terrorized just about every other offense it has faced this season.
Entering Sunday's rematch at Ralph Wilson Stadium, New York is allowing 73.8 rushing yards a game, a total that not only leads the league this year but would stand as the 10th lowest figure in the last 30 NFL seasons.
"It probably is our biggest challenge to date, going against this group," said Bills coach Doug Marrone. "They're extremely athletic, they're extremely strong at the point of attack. … I think they're big, they're athletic, they're strong, they're aggressive. It's a great challenge for our offensive line."
The Jets have loaded up on elite defensive talents. Defensive ends Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson, and rush linebacker Quinton Coples all are first-round draft picks.
"Talented guys across the board," said Bills offensive tackle Erik Pears. "Talent and effort, kind of all over the place."
Wilkerson is the Jets' most valuable player. He leads all NFL 3-4 defensive ends with eight sacks. He has 13 hits on the quarterback and 10 tackles for loss, second in both categories only to Houston's J.J. Watt among 3-4 defensive linemen.
In the first meeting with Buffalo, a 27-20 Jets win, Wilkerson had two sacks, five hits on the quarterback and a forced fumble.
New York sacked EJ Manuel eight times overall.
"He's 315, but he still plays like a 280-pound guy," Pears said. "Long arms, lots of movement. He's light on his feet. He's a great player."
The Jets drafted Wilkerson 30th overall in 2011 out of Temple.
"It was funny because Mike Pettine was the first guy to see the tape," Jets coach Rex Ryan told Buffalo reporters Wednesday, referring to the current Bills defensive coordinator. "And he said, 'Wait till you see this guy.' Exactly. He's what you look for. He's got great length. … He's an interior guy that can rush the passer, he plays the run, and you can put him all over the place. You can play him over tackle, guard or center, it doesn't really matter."
Both of Wilkerson's sacks in the first meeting came against linemen (Sam Young and Colin Brown) who no longer are on the Bills team. Nevertheless, it was a long day for all of the Bills' blockers.
Bills running back Fred Jackson ripped off a 59-yard run on a great second-effort play. Aside from that run, Jackson and C.J. Spiller combined for 22 yards on 16 carries.
Richardson is 6-foot-3 and 294 pounds. Coples is 6-6 and 290. Nose tackle Damon Harrison, an undrafted free-agent find, is 6-4 and 350. His backup is Kenrick Ellis, a 6-4, 346-pounder.
"Their nose tackles are 340 or 350 and you can't move them off the ball too well," said guard Kraig Urbik. "So it's a big challenge for us up front."
The Bills know they have to give themselves more chances to succeed. That means converting third-down situations and staying on the field. Buffalo held the ball only 24:44 against Pittsburgh and for just 25:47 against the Jets.
"The big thing is if you can sustain some drives," said tight end Scott Chandler. "You watch what teams like the Patriots are able to do on offense. They're able to sustain drives. Then you can mix up the tempo on them, then you're able to catch them on their heels at times."
"We have to focus on protecting the ball, converting third downs and red zone offense," Chandler said. "If we focus on those three things, those are keys to winning in the NFL – situational offense and protecting the ball."

But only because she's managed to stay safely at a Salvation Army shelter. If not, Amber Jones could easily be one of the people who live along the American River in Sacramento.
The "tent city" residents aren't camping by the river for vacation. Their stay is not going to be as temporary as they'd like. They're homeless people with few resources at a time when options are scarce. The government is stepping in to offer housing to as many as they can.
Jones' story is different but it's the same too. Her minimum wage job doesn't pay quite enough to make ends meet, so she's staying in The Salvation Army Women's Safe Haven and taking a shower and eating meals at Loaves and Fishes. She's been in town a month and is saving all she can so she can afford to rent a room.
She'll do okay. She has a lot of support from the Army and other local charities. Thank God she's energetic and in good health.
The folks down by the American River? They're going to have a tougher time. Their stories of homelessness stretch much longer than that of Jones' one month ordeal. They'll need a lot more intervention and the continued kindness of the Sacramento community and the help of The Salvation Army until they can become stable, healthy, sober and hopefully, employed.

I have been asked by another poster to come and post a review of my dinner at Macaroni supper club on St-Laurent street. I will probably offend people while doing so even though it is not my intention. A friend of mine had asked me to go to a place where there would be ambiance and she wanted that before food. She needed a bit of cheering up and since we were on vacation, I tried finding a place like that. I came up with Macaroni supper club and made a reservation. I have to say that the booze was the best thing about the place. We started with a cocktail and the bartender did a nice one. We then ordered food...I knew the food would not be the best, but I did not think it would be that bad. I had a salmon tartare and to tell you the truth, I had just a few bites because I was scared to get food poisoning!! It was so bad, it was not even funny. We each had pasta and I advise people to stick with that. My friend had a plate of pasta with mushroom and truffle oil and it was not that bad. I had the mac and cheese and it was okay.
I could talk about the clientele but it could get nasty and I could receive death threats! I have been to Buena Note and Globe in the past, I don't know why but I did, but Macaroni is like a bad replica of those places. It is like a cheap imitation where people who don't have the money go to flash something, I don't know what, but they try to flash. The waitresses are dressed in a bad fuschia low-cut mini-dress. Our waitress was nice but I did not ask her about today's stock trades!
The only good thing was the music. We did not stick around though because they only wanted to get rid of us. They had never mentionned that we had to leave at a certain hour but at one time they told us that we had to leave, even though we had ordered cocktails, a bottle of wine and after dinner drinks.
Like I said, I don't want to offend anyone who goes there weekly but I would not advise people to go there unless they want to have fun, eat pretty bad food and be shown on their way out if they don't fit in the hostess' idea of ideal patrons!
Spend a bit more and go to Buena Note if you really want to experience the St-Laurent's experience!

DUNEDIN, FLA. - At the start of spring training, we posed 10 questions concerning the Blue Jays. Now, with just two weeks remaining until opening day on April 2, we look at what we know so far.
1. The Bullpen
On the plus side, the Jays look like they will open the season with a legit closer: Sergio Santos. Last season, he made just six appearances due to shoulder inflammation. Despite a minor setback that held him back for two weeks, Santos is back throwing in games and appears to be fine. The same cannot be said for Casey Janssen. He has yet to appear in a spring game and will likely remain in Dunedin at extended spring training for at least the first two series and then join the Jays in Detroit.The remainder of the bullpen should consist of LHP Darren Oliver, RHP Steve Delabar, RHP Esmil Rogers, LHP Aaron Loup, RHP Jeremy Jeffress and LHP Brett Cecil.

LUCENE-5116 fixes addIndexes(Reader) to never write a 0-document segment (in the case you merge in empty or all-deleted stuff).
I considered it just an inconsistency, but it could cause confusing exceptions to real users too if there was a "regression" here. (see solr users list:Split Shard Error - maxValue must be non-negative).

LUCENE-5173: add checkindex piece of LUCENE-5116, prevent 0 document segments completely
Hi Robert,
like this much! I have no tested it, but I trust you. I think this is much better than risking to create empty segments because maybe some new functionality/merge policy/... hides documents or adds empty segments to the List of merges.
Here's a cleaned up version... maybe its OK.
As far as the stuff i saw with the first patch on this issue, maybe it was due to running tests from eclipse (I beasted TestIndexWriter with it from curiousity, but nothing came out)... its old news anyway I guess.
here is a ugly patch, there must be a better way... sorry
I wonder if its too paranoid: however playing with the old patch I think i hit my own assert with testThreadInterruptDeadLock...
I will investigate that more, to see under what conditions we are doing these 0 doc merges today.
I agree with both. My complaint was the following:
The assert was not correct, as asserts should only be used for real assertions withing the same class. For this special check, there is something outside of SegmentMerger that could maybe insert empty readers into the merge queue, so those should be thrown away while merging or when sergmentmerger initializes (so move to ctor is a good idea). I am thinking about crazy stuff like a merge policy that wraps with a FilterAtomicReader to filter while merging (like IndexSorter) - which is possible with the current API.
So the segments should be removed on creating the SegmentMerger when all readers to merge are already in the List<AtomicReader>.
In the IndexWriter#addIndexes we may then just need the top-level check to not even start a merge.
+1, I like consolidating the logic into a single shouldMerge().
And I don't think codecs should be required to handle the 0 doc segment case: we should never send such a segment to them.
Maybe the assert in SegmentMerge should be a hard check, unless SegmentMerger always strictly throws away empty segments (not that somebody can somehow with a crazy alcoholic mergepolicy create those segments again).
Or, maybe mergeState.segmentInfo.setDocCount(setDocMaps()) should happen in the ctor of SegmentMerger instead of line 1 of merge()?
And it could a simple boolean method like shouldMerge(): returns docCount > 0, called by addIndexes and mergeMiddle?
this way the logic added to addIndexes in
LUCENE-5116 wouldnt even need to be there, and we'd feel better that we arent writing such 0 document segments (which codecs are not prepared to handle today).
Patch is fine. I like that the checkindex allows older segments with empty size, but once a segment was merged it can no longer be empty.
Maybe the assert in SegmentMerge should be a hard check, unless SegmentMerger always strictly throws away empty segments (not that somebody can somehow with a crazy alcoholic mergepolicy create those segments again).
Simple patch: also adds an assert to SegmentMerger.
we can only check this if the index is 4.5+, because thats when
LUCENE-5116 was fixed.

Funny with a chance of chuckles — Mormon Times readers share humorous stories
JanSan Pocatello, IDJan. 10, 2013 1:10 p.m.
These were really cute, thank you for sharing them.
l.cee Ridgefield, WAJan. 10, 2013 1:05 p.m.
Thank you for sharing these stories. The only advice I would give is if there is a story that includes a "new" version of a Primary song or hymn, it would be good to share the original words, too. Some of us have not served in Primary or for years to know the real words.

Late-game thrills seem to follow Zac Swansey wherever he goes. Swansey sank the second overtime buzzer beater of his career as Georgia rallied past Wofford 74-73.
Swansey's latest game winner came on his 20th birthday and saved Georgia from an embarrassing home loss to a Southern Conference team in front of a sparse between-semester crowd on Saturday at Stegeman Coliseum.
Swansey hit a buzzer-beating overtime 3-pointer to knock Kentucky out of the Southeastern Conference Tournament quarterfinals last season.
"I think it's genetics, it's just pure genetics. You might have to ask his dad about that," Georgia guard Corey Butler said. "Zac, he always seems to knock down those prayers that we need. It's like the gods are shining down on him and those prayers are answered."
Georgia's offense struggled much of the game as leading scorer Terrance Woodbury sat out because of an ankle sprain.
Georgia (10-3) trailed 73-71 after Wofford's Brad Loesing drove for a layup with 5.5 seconds left in overtime. Georgia's Trey Thompkins threw away the inbounds pass, forcing Georgia to foul Johnson again. Johnson air-balled the first attempt. After a Georgia timeout, Johnson missed the second attempt, too.
"I envisioned Zac doing exactly what he did, just dribbling down and knocking down a 3," Georgia coach Dennis Felton said. "Now the way he took it, he was kind of twisting into it. When I saw his release, I thought 'Oh well, it's good to be hopeful.' When I saw how much pressure he was under and he didn't have good straight-up balance, I didn't think it was going in."
Thompkins rebounded Johnson's second miss and fed Swansey who raced up the left sideline. With the clock winding down, Swansey twisted around two defenders and let the shot fly from about a foot behind the 3-point line.
I was just trying to find a way to get an open shot. I kind of had the ball against the sideline. I kind of wanted to get into the lane. but they had two guys on me, so I kind of pulled up and it went in. I was kind of fading to the right and a defender had a hand in my face, but I could just barely see the rim."
Wofford (4-4) fell to the floor in disbelief after letting a game get away that it probably should have won.
"It was a tough loss," Wofford coach Mike Young said. "Our team is down in the mouth right now, as they should be."
Swansey had missed much more than he had hit in the first 44 minutes of the game. He connected on 2 of 10 field-goal attempts, including 0-for-4 from the 3-point line until hitting a 3-pointer with 14.7 seconds left in overtime to tie the game 71-71.
"It's a good example of no matter how bleak things look, it's a good idea to just hang in there and give yourself a chance," Felton said. "Even if you need luck. If we don't stay after it and get that foul as quick as we did, Zac wouldn't have had time to get that shot off."
Swansey hit 4 of 12 from the field and finished with 11 points and six assists. Trey Thompkins scored 15 points and hit a 3-pointer with 25 seconds left in regulation to give Georgia a short-lived 62-60 lead. Jeremy Price scored 12 points and Ricky McPhee added 11.
Wofford overcame multi-possession deficits twice in the game. Wofford erased most of a 15-point first-half deficit with an 11-4 run going into halftime. Wofford trailed by eight in the second half and tied the game in regulation by hitting six straight free throws.
Wofford hit 3 of 6 from the free-throw line in overtime, including two straight misses that could have iced the game.
Junior Salters led Wofford with 20 points. Johnson added 16 and Noah Dahlman chipped in 11.

kill the dragon
how does one go to kill the dragon to get it's blood
This quest may take several trys…
Spoiler – One suggested method
First you must transform Amdusias to human form by reading the spell you find in the nearby rooms, attacking him whilst in dragon form is futile.
It has to be an all out attack, trying to hide will get you nowhere, once you are in his lair the doors will slam shut and will not open until he is defeated.
Arm yourself with potions and have the low health notification set fairly high, run at him and attack with melee weapon as the bow is useless - a high stat 2h weapon seems better than 1h + sheild . He will use 'stun' arrows at first, the second or third arrow will kill you so get fairly close using the 'dip' in the skeletal structure . First, run and attack him, he will then use the curse spell making you run hay-wire and in opposite direction, it will last for just a few seconds, be ready and immediately run toward and attack him continually (button mash) and stay close.
I must have tried more than fifty times (only had one health potion!) i used the 'sorcerer Arben's sword of destruction' and trapped him against the bones so he had no rearward movement.
Good luck.
You get Amdusias' blood in his private room.

Killeen Daily Herald
The last section has been laid again in the pipeline from Stillhouse Hollow Reservoir to Lake Georgetown.
The pipeline will transfer water as needed to the reservoir in Williamson County, where there is a rapidly growing population.
Originally constructed in 2000 and 2001, pressure testing showed that more than half of the 28-mile pipeline failed to meet engineering standards, said Judi Pierce, Brazos River Authority spokeswoman.
The contractors dug rectangular trenches to bury the 48-inch diameter pipes, then refilled with "the wrong grade of sand and gravel, so the pipe smashed like a pancake," Pierce said.
BRA controls distribution of the conservation pool, which stores water for human consumption, in Stillhouse Hollow, Georgetown and the other Army Corps of Engineers lakes in this area.
The reconstructed pipeline is completely laid, and hydrologic pressure testing will begin in mid-July, said Randy Wooten, BRA director of technical services over this project.
The pipeline itself cost $20 million, Wooten said. He estimated the entire project, including the water intake structure, will cost $36 million to $38 million. "The (contractor's) surety company is picking up the (reconstruction) cost, so there is no added cost to the customers," he said.
BRA provided project financing to the five Williamson County wholesale customers who have water rights in Stillhouse Hollow. They are the cities of Georgetown and Round Rock, Brushy Creek Municipal Utility District, Chisholm Trail Special Utility District, and Jonah Water. These entities pay the debt service and contract with BRA to operate and maintain the system.
Georgetown is a relatively small lake in a high-growth area, Wooten said. "The most cost-effective way to provide them water was to build a pipeline from Stillhouse Hollow," he said.
When needed, the maximum water volume those customers can take from Stillhouse is 44,000 acre-feet per year, Wooten said, but the BRA has the ability to provide water from other locations as well.
The conservation pool for drinking water in Stillhouse Hollow holds 235,700 acre-feet of water when filled to 622 feet elevation, said Dan Thomasson, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lake manager for Stillhouse Hollow and Belton lakes. An acre-foot is the amount of water that would cover one acre of land to a depth of one foot, or about 325,500 gallons.
"There is more than enough water in Stillhouse Hollow Lake to meet Bell County's needs for the next 100 years," Pierce said. "Williamson County is part of our basin, so piping water into Lake Georgetown is not pumping it out of the basin."
There has been enough rain so that BRA's Georgetown customers did not need water from Stillhouse Hollow during the past few years, Pierce said.
"Georgetown Lake's conservation pool is full today," said Wooten. The lake elevation was 791.32 feet Wednesday, which is about four inches higher than the top of the conservation pool. Even if the pipeline was in service, no water would need to be pumped from Stillhouse Hollow today, he said.
BRA officials think the decision to pump water out of Stillhouse Hollow will be made when Lake Georgetown drops to half its conservation pool capacity, based on today's population, Wooten said. He noted that increased population could cause that percentage to shift upward.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- Selena Gomez is making heads turn with her new "Hands to Myself" music video. In one scene, the 23-year old pop star is stripped down to her bra and panties.
But while she kept her clothes on for her Jan. 23 Saturday Night Live performance, Gomez still managed to make jaws drop by getting frisky with a male and female dancer in a giant black bed as she sung a single off her Revival album.
The singer also had a cameo in a spoof for ABC's The Bachelor and performed a smooth and steamy medley of "Good for You" and "Same Old Love," also off her new album.
Gomez said the performances were a "dream come true" posting a tweet thanking the show for having her on.
Thank you SO much @nbcsnl for a childhood dream come true #SelenaOnSNL 😳💜💜💜 pic.twitter.com/h6fPXfgMup— Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) January 24, 2016
"Thank you SO much @nbcsnl for a childhood dream come true #SelenaOnSNL," she wrote.

COLUMBUS, Miss. — It'll be at least October before a Lowndes County grand jury can decide whether a dad should be charged with a crime in the drowning deaths of his sons.
Columbus Police Chief Selvain McQueen says investigators and District Attorney Forrest Allgood are waiting for final reports from the state medical examiner's office before presenting the case against Billy Wayne Brown to the grand jury.
They had hoped to present the case earlier this month but will have to wait until the next session in October.
On May 18, Brown was driving a six-passenger Polaris ATV across the Magby Creek spillway into Luxapilila Creek when it overturned.
Bystanders rescued Brown and three children but 9-year-old Justin Brown and 6-year-old Jacob Brown were swept under by the rushing waters and drowned.
The results of a court-ordered blood alcohol test taken after the incident and other issues will be a factor in whether Brown could be indicted for manslaughter, culpible negligent homicide or some other charge.

Album Rating: 4.5this cd is amazing and so was the review its nice to have a more pos review for once, and live they are so amazing and their singer is hilarious i talked to huim after the show and i really couldnt understand anything except for cheers mate! the only thing that id disagree with is dead mans chest i really dont agree that its a boring track but thats just my opinion.... look forward to more

Album Rating: 3.5
I almost crapped myself the first time I listened to it
Excellent review. I havent heard this album, but I liked their last one. cry me a ****ing river bitch! etc etc
Album Rating: 3.5I actually hate the pos/neg system, and how worried people get over it.
Album Rating: 4.0I always make excuses to why I can't write reviews anymore... During the school year it's because I'm too busy. During the summer it's because I'm too busy. I really still have a passion for writing what someone said are "novel" reviews. I really hope people still enjoy the way I write-
and yes I almost crapped myself when I heard it. The only time I'll ever use puke to describe a listening experience is if I'm listening to Suicide Silence.
that is an exceptionally heavy awesome part, i must agree. and you write great reviews.
Album Rating: 4.0great review, absolutely love this album and band

Somehow, this album never made the cut for me, though I really loved "Killing With A Smile"... I somewhat never got into it.
Great review though. :thumb:

Byron Bay isn't really the outback.
Album Rating: 2.5"Yes, I used colossal to describe a breakdown but when you listen to what sounds like B tuned guitars cranking away and then "THERES BLOOD IN THE WATER" I almost crapped myself the first time I listened to it."
That breakdown is so badass, headbanging is inevitable on that one
Album Rating: 4.0I agree with every point made in the review
