IT Company TCS Signs Long-Term Deal Valued At $100M To Title Sponsor N.Y. Marathon
N.Y. Road Runners has a new title sponsor for its flagship N.Y. Marathon that will also support its other top-tier events. IT services and consulting giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has signed on as a top-level sponsor with NYRR in an eight-year deal that sources pegged at around $100M. NYRR officials would not confirm the value. Following the '13 N.Y. Marathon on Nov. 3, Tata will replace ING, which had been title sponsor of the marathon since '03. TCS, a $10B company, has been a N.Y. Marathon sponsor for several years and is part of the Tata group, India's largest industrial conglomerate. TCS also sponsors the Boston and Chicago marathons. This is the fourth year that TCS will sponsor all three of the largest U.S. marathons. Just as when it landed ING years ago, NYRR found a corporate patron headed by a distance runner. TCS CEO & Managing Dir Natarajan Chandrasekaran has run marathons in Mumbai, Prague, N.Y. and Stockholm. With ING exiting and the controversy surrounding the cancellation of last year's event, many thought this big ticket would be a tough sell. However, from early this year, NYRR officials indicated they were finding abundant marketplace interest. Sources said BMW was also in the hunt for around to the same money as TCS. However, those same sources said NYRR preferred TCS since it was a pure play against marathons and runnings and thus would receive more focus and marketing support. Early bidders included New York Life and some health care companies.
SIGN OF THINGS TO COME? With technology roiling the consumer and business landscapes, and every sports venue looking to provide better connectivity, Tata's big spend prompts the question of whether the tough-to-differentiate IT category will henceforth spend at the level of some of the biggest sports sponsors. Of course, IBM has been a buyer of top-shelf sports rights for years. SAP and Cisco also have been buying large sports sponsorships of late, and even an unfamiliar IT brand like High Point Solutions put its name on Rutgers' newly-renovated football stadium in '11. "We are seeing the technology category sliced more thinly and the companies invoked are all in each others' businesses," said Octagon President & CEO Rick Dudley, whose company consults for Cisco. "The challenge is combining the technology showcase, which every sponsor wants, with a branding and b-to-c reach."
Penske Racing Signs Extensions With Keselowski, No. 2 Primary Sponsor Miller Lite
Penske Racing has signed new deals with driver Brad Keselowski and Miller Lite that will keep last year's Sprint Cup champion and sponsor together through '17. The new sponsorship agreement extends a partnership that Penske Racing began in '91 but ends Miller Lite's 23-year run as a full-season primary sponsor. Under terms of the deal, Miller Lite will go from sponsoring 36 races to 24 races on the No. 2 car known as the "Blue Deuce." Miller Lite's current sponsorship is valued at more than $13M a year. Financial terms of the extension were not available, but sources described it as a "significant" increase. The deal includes a one-year option for '18. Roger Penske, who declined to discuss terms of the deal, said that he asked Miller Lite execs to reduce the number of races the brand sponsors so that Penske Racing could increase its revenue by finding one to two other sponsors for the remaining 12 races. Penske said, "I said, 'It gives you a chance to stabilize your spend and not look at annual increases, and it gives us a chance to take that real estate and find people who want three, four, five races.' It's a win-win. It gives them stability with us and opens the door for us to get more sponsorship revenue." Miller Lite was in the second year of a three-year deal with Penske Racing when Penske approached MillerCoors execs about a renewal. MillerCoors CMO Andy England said that the brand did not want to give up 12 races but agreed because it wanted to remain partnered with the team and recognized the team wanted to increase its revenue. England added, "We firstly wanted to be partnered with (Roger Penske) for a long time to come. Secondly, we want him to be successful. We want to enable that success. … For a NASCAR team and driver to be successful, they have to have the right team behind it (and) the right equipment."
LOOKING TO REBOUND NEXT YEAR: Coming off last year's Sprint Cup title, Keselowski has struggled in the No. 2 Miller Lite car this year. He failed to win a race and he became only the second defending Cup champion to fail to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship. Penske and Keselowski believe the combination of a long-term deal with Miller Lite plus two other sponsorships will boost the No. 2 team's revenue and allow it to invest in improving the car in coming years. Keselowski: "The naked eye looks at this as going from 36 to 24 (races). The initial reaction to that is that this is a reduction to the sport. But that's not how things are working here. This is a strategic play. … What this does for us is open up 12 races to increase sponsorship and revenue base for our team, which we think is going to make us more competitive." He added that the sponsorship extension and his contract extension will help him improve as a driver, as well. "When you have a deal extended long-term, this is beyond myself, this is sponsorship, you can put that out of your head. When you can put those out of your head and focus on the task at hand, performance, that can be healthy for the team. You can become more focused."
SALARY INCREASE AS WELL: Keselowski, who is represented by John Caponigro of Sports Management Network, also got an increase in salary under his new deal. Penske said that some of the increase in costs for the No. 2 team will be because of driver salary. He added, "One of the good things is we pay our drivers based on performance. To (Keselowski's) credit, he did not come back after he won the championship and knock on our door and say, 'You have to increase my salary.' That's the type of guy he is."
Oilers Select Rogers As Official Telecom Sponsor In 13-Year Deal
Rogers Communications is planning a C$700M "coverage boost in Alberta while inking a 13-year exclusive partnership" with the Oilers, according to Matt Dykstra of the EDMONTON SUN. Rogers will "receive official sponsorship and marketing rights" for the Oilers, WHL Edmonton Oil Kings and Rexall Place. Oilers President & CEO Patrick LaForge said, "They've been our largest broadcaster, providing 60 games a year to Oilers fans and now we're adding to that with Rogers technology and sponsorship in a much bigger way to generate content and implement it better." LaForge added that the deal "will carry over to the new downtown arena when it's finished." The deal "includes advertising placements, arena signage, concourse, rink, in-ice, in-bowl and in-game applications." Rogers also will be the "presenting sponsor of Oilers television broadcasts, the Oilers website and the Oilers Mobile App." Rogers Exec VP & CMO John Boynton said that the plan is the "first step of a bigger Rogers investment in Alberta." Boynton said Rogers plans to be "a dominant player" in the province and that some changes will start soon. He said Rogers will "experiment" with several different ways to interact with Oilers fans (EDMONTON SUN, 10/2). LaForge: "We had a relationship with Telus (which has expired). We are happy to say that Rogers is adding on to our relationship." The agreement "does not include naming rights for the yet-to-be-built downtown arena" (EDMONTON JOURNAL, 10/2).
Reebok's Partnerships With Fitness Groups Like CrossFit Appear To Be Paying Off
Reebok is "turning to sponsorship deals with prominent fitness groups to try to revive a venerable name that has faded" since adidas acquired the brand in '06, according to Victoria Bryan of REUTERS. Reebok is "winning converts among hardcore sports enthusiasts and aims to build on this support to make up ground it has lost to rivals such as global market leader Nike." In addition to its CrossFit partnership, Reebok has linked with fitness group Les Mills and the Spartan Race, while CrossFit "is attracting devotees in Europe." Reebok's effort "already appears to be paying off," as when adidas "warned on its profit last month, analysts were quick to note that Reebok was, for once, not cited as a problem." adidas said that it "needs several brands to cover the whole of the global sportswear market." While the adidas brand is "big in soccer and basketball," Reebok is "focused on fitness and fashion." Reebok's focus on fitness is "not unlike a renewed emphasis on soccer deals, team sports and running products now underway at rival Puma." adidas Chair & CEO Herbert Hainer "has predicted growth in coming years" for Reebok. Industry experts "applaud Adidas for stepping back from growing sales" to improve Reebok's gross profit margin. Reebok makes up around 10% of adidas' sales, while Reebok's share of the global $245B sportswear market "has slipped" to 1.8% in '12 from 2.1% in '07 (REUTERS, 10/1).
Louisville Slugger Reportedly Losing Market Share Among MLBers To Other Bat Companies
Hillerich & Bradsby, maker of Louisville Slugger, "has been losing major leaguers to other bat companies for several years and no longer is the undisputed king of swing," according to Ray Giler of USA TODAY. The Marucci Bat Company "has emerged as Slugger's biggest rival in an increasingly crowded field of manufacturers." There are 32 companies "licensed to make bats for major league and minor league players," which is up from 10 in '93. Marucci said that it is the "No. 1 bat when it comes to usage by major leaguers, a claim difficult to verify." But Louisville Slugger "does acknowledge it has lost significant ground to Marucci and others." Blue Jays 1B Edwin Encarnacion has "used both bats, although he has relied mostly on Marucci in recent years." At the '13 All-Star game, Encarnacion "was greeted by a representative of Louisville Slugger offering to donate money or equipment to a charity of Encarnacion's choosing if he swung a Louisville Slugger bat in the game." Marucci held a party in N.Y. during the All-Star break "to trumpet its milestone of passing Louisville Slugger." But Hillerich & Bradsby sent out a press release that said, "The Official Bat of Major League Baseball is still being manufactured in Louisville, Ky., and despite what competition has recently said, Louisville Slugger is still the #1 choice among the best players in the game." Marucci BOD member Reed Dickens said, "We can get into arguments all day about how to count numbers, but the crux of this story is that we have never paid a player and they do pay players. ... From five years ago to today, we have taken half their market share without paying a player" (USA TODAY, 10/2).
Bridgestone, Jack Nicklaus Partner For Golf Ball Production Tailored To Amateurs
Golf HOFer Jack Nicklaus and Bridgestone have partnered to "produce three types of golf balls," according to Golf Channel's Todd Lewis. The Nicklaus Black, Nicklaus Blue and the Nicklaus White are made to "accommodate three skill levels of a player using the traditional tees to which they typically play." Lewis noted golfers can "get the balls online and a percentage of the ball sales will be donated directly back to the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation to support pediatric programs nationwide." Nicklaus told Golf Channel's Jimmy Roberts on Monday it is not a "conflict" to be in the golf ball construction business while simultaneously advocating for rolling back the distance of the balls. Nicklaus said, "The game needs to be simplified for the average golfer. These are not golf balls for the pros." Nicklaus, on Bridgestone and other manufacturers limiting distance and performance of golf balls, said, "I can't imagine any manufacturer who really thinks about what's good for the game of golf who would not consider (limiting the distance of the balls)" ("Live From: The President's Cup," Golf Channel, 9/30).
Branded Air: Several Sponsors Remain Exclusive With Fox' Sunday NFL Programming
Continuing THE DAILY's look at sponsored segments during NFL broadcasts this season, Fox is the only net to have pregame, postgame and halftime sponsors -- Ford, Visa and Lowe's -- that do not support segments on other nets. All three are returning in familiar sponsorship roles from last season. Ford is in its 11th consecutive year as the "Fox NFL Sunday" pregame show sponsor.
WATERS THAT RUN DEEP: "Fox NFL Sunday" also has partnerships with brands familiar across multiple NFL programs: State Farm (Doublecheck Rundown), DirecTV (Headlines), Microsoft Windows (On the Field) and Pizza Hut (Make It Great Play of the Week).

Knowledge is power: Become a better sports marketer

As in other places, it turns out that some Champions are better house-keepers than others and that extends all the way to their computer hard drive. A cyber folder somewhere holds the 'original' picture sent by Laine Sutherland of the students at Denlow, but it became lost among the cyber dust of zeros and ones. Laine was kind enough to send the photo again and Champions are excited that someone may recognize an ancestor and share the stories of those lovely young people standing on the steps of the Denlow School on 12-12-1912.
The Winter Concert at Skyline School was another delightful success. The children all performed admirably and once again Charlie Brown was reassured about the nature of Christmas. The children always give a good performance and are a pleasure to watch, but the audience is the real treasure. Parents, grandparents, teachers and friends all lean forward with encouragement for their young one to do well, and their hearts are all swollen and full of love and tenderness for their fledgling. The applause floods the hall and the whole place is awash with joy and expectation. That is the way it was Thursday night and then Friday came the sad news from another school. A prominent psychologist said, "We find a place for what we lose" and that after such terrible loss the acute stage of mourning will subside, but the survivor will remain inconsolable and will never find a substitute. No matter what may fill the gap, even if it be filled completely, it nevertheless remains something else. Champions hope for those suffering great loss now that one day the pain will be replaced with sweet recollections of their dear one in that place they find for what they have lost.
Dr. Blevins speaks about the 'impermanency of our creations' as he laments the passing of the old store at Champion. To his credit, however, he has swiftly embraced the Recreation of the Historic Emporium as it sits in the very footstep of its predecessor. He has naught but good things to say about the construction of the building: its appearance—as it resembles the old building in all the nostalgic good ways with the added feature of sturdiness; location—"nestled in a grove of trees on a creek bank beneath a hill at the end of a black top road"; inventory—extensive and aimed squarely at the needs of the community; customers—loyal and reliant on the store for many of their daily needs as well as the need for a community home-base; and the proprietor—about whom Dr. Blevins has much good to say, but who has modesty as her hallmark. All in all, the quarterly review, Southern Cultures, is admirably enhanced by its inclusion of The Bright Side. Perhaps the folks at KZ88.1 could get with Dr. Blevins to include some of his writing about the Ozarks in their programming. They did an excellent job with Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" the other night. The food was good, the crowd was friendly and sociable and the performance was splendid. The recording will be played at various times during the Christmas Marathon on the radio from Sunday through Tuesday. A look at the www.kz88.org website will reveal the times. The performance was a fund raiser for the radio station that encourages local performers. That is real community.
Certain handsome sons-in-law would, and do, roll their eyes at the report of things they do not see. It is such a habit of some to disparage the ideas, observations, and opinions of their wives and Mothers that it takes corroboration of a hearty brother-in-law farmer, a firefighter, and a Maytag man to give credence to the description of an occurrence they all witnessed. For some it takes seeing to believe. What was it? It is being called "Thursday Night Lights" and is not altogether new in Champion. Going way back to the 1970's, Champions have been observing unidentified lights in the skies at night. This is not like the dirigible that Wilburn Hutchinson and Fleming Gheer saw up at Skyline that time when they were boys because they could plain as day see that it was, in fact, a dirigible. These lights behave in strange and unpredictable ways. Thursday, the 6th of December, about seven in the evening a West-Champion saw something and called his neighbor who saw it too. He ultimately dismissed it as his own electric fence charging itself. His neighbor conceded that could be an explanation, but was not convinced and the next morning her son confirmed her doubts when he said that he also had seen the phenomena at about that same time the previous evening. Thursday the 13th proved to be an eventful night as well. At about 10:30, observers from north-east Champion watched lights which seemed to skim quickly over the tree line, just barely above the trees, over the trees from the north, veering out east toward the south. Then, suddenly the lights would appear in a different quadrant altogether with a greater brightness or intensity and seem to park still for a while then be gone. No more reliable source for this information could be had and handsome sons-in-law must confess credibility. It is causing such a stir in some quarters of Champion that the Thursday Night Light Watch has been instituted. Travelers are warned in advance to take extreme precaution when driving Central Douglas County country roads on Thursday nights as "Watchers" will be out walking in the roads with their mouths open and their necks arched backwards looking up to see whatever can be seen. Many are deciding to walk in the road since their yards are so steep and rocky and so soft from the mole hills and holes that night walking is perilous. Life is exciting in Champion.
Esther Wrinkles is getting some good Christmas cheer up at the Autumn Oaks as friends and family stop in to visit and wish her well. Cowboy Jack has been out in the world expanding his broad, wholesome, charitable view of mankind, but he is back home now and his Champion friends are glad. "Don't let the stars get in your eyes! Don't let the moon break your heart. Love blooms at night. At daylight it dies. Just keep your heart for me for someday I'll return and you'll know you're the only one I'll ever love!" Sing your favorite sky gazing song out on the porch at Henson's Down Town G & G. Record it and mail it to Champion Items, Rt. 2 Box 367, Norwood, MO 65717 and be careful if you're singing it out in the road Thursday night. If you recognize any of those Denlow students sing out to firstname.lastname@example.com. "Too many stars—too many moons can change your mind. If I'm gone too long, don't forget where you belong. When the stars come out remember"…..Champion! Looking on the Bright Side!

Photographer's Note
Some Japanese lanterns at a Bon Summer Festival in Fujisawa, Kanagawa.
It was a very hot and humid summer night then, but the lanterns look so simple,easy and pale, and made us feel better and cooler!
I like lanterns more than normal lights.

Step 6 Duplicate the black solid and position the duplicate at the top of the layer stack. Drop in the 'source-sd' pre-comp you created in the previous step, and set the duplicate black solid to use this as a luma-matte. Using the Effect Controls panel, update the colours used in the tint to something contrasting.
Step 7 Finally, we need to add some detail, so drop in the original source-sd clip to the top of the layer stack and set the layer to use the Classic Difference (or Difference) layer blending mode. Reduce the opacity to around 50%.
Step 8 To finish up, add a black solid at the bottom of your layer stack – this will be the background. The watercolour texture looks very static so select it and choose Effects > Stylize > CC RepeTile. Increase the values for all four directions to at least 500, then Alt/Opt+Click on the position property for the layer and enter a wiggle value of 100,30 to automatically move the layer around, providing different texture backgrounds throughout.

I am getting two instances of the warning C4267 in my function. This warning says: 'initializing' : conversion from 'size_t' to 'int', possible loss of data
I looked this up on the internet and it doesn't seem to be a great big deal, but I was wondering if there was a method I could use to rewrite the function so I can get a clean compile.
I am sorry about the indentation/spacing. It looks alot better in Visual Studio.Code:// This program will count the occurrences of a string within a string. #include <iostream> // cin, cout, <<, >> #include <string> // string using namespace std; int count; int occurCount(string quote) { cout << quote << endl; // quote will come from a driver file int position = quote.find ("a spider", 0); // warning C4267 if (position == string::npos) count = 0; else count = 1; while (position != string::npos) { position = quote.find ("a spider", position + 1); //C4267 if (position > 0) { count++; } } return count; }

Nissan Cube news - Stock Cube - 2008
Fans of straight lines, right angles and cars that look like they were created by a six-year old rejoice: the Nissan Cube is finally coming to the UK.
This is the all-new Cube, unveiled this week at the LA Auto Show, and the big news is that it'll finally be offered outside of Japan. Previously, the only way to get hold of a Cube in the UK was through a tortuous import process, but now you'll be able to get one from your local Nissan dealer.
Visually, it's in very much the same vein as its predecessor: tall, blocky, square and quite unlike anything else on the road. We can't decide if those bigger, rounded wheelarches detract just a touch from the essential, er, cubishness of the design, but there's no doubting that the Nissan designers have nailed their 'quirky' quota.
That assymetrical, wraparound rear screen is still present and correct, along with the refrigerator-style rear door. On the inside you're looking at a five-seater with added quirkiness – lots of headroom, swoopy surfaces and the option of, ahem, shag carpeting. We couldn't make it up.
In Europe, the Cube will be offered with the choice of a 1.5-litre diesel or 1.6-litre petrol engine, perhaps with the option of a CVT gearbox. Though it hasn't yet been confirmed, we'd expect that we'll see the two-wheel drive Cube instead of the four-wheel drive version.
The Cube will go on sale in the UK next year, with prices yet to be announced. Do you want one, or would you rather set fire to your own legs? We've got a feeling this is going to be one of those Marmite cars…

TEWKSBURY, Mass., Dec. 13 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy has awarded $75 million to Raytheon to complete remaining hardware and electronics for the first two Zumwalt-class destroyers.
The monies come under exercised options of an earlier contract.
Raytheon said it will complete the production and assembly of electronics for the ships, including electronics for the multifunction towed array for the sonar suite, canister electronics and uptake kits for the MK 57 Vertical Launching System.
It will also conduct the advanced procurement of electronic modular enclosure shelters for the third ship, the DDG 1002.
"The collaboration of this government-industry team has been outstanding, a high-performing team of experts working together to bring the Navy's vision to reality," said Raytheon's Kevin Peppe, vice president of Integrated Defense Systems' Seapower Capability Systems business area. "As systems and deliveries complete, and integration and testing continue, we are advancing closer to demonstrating the capabilities of the most technologically advanced surface combatant in naval history."
DDG 1000 entered the water Oct. 28 at Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine. Construction will continue dockside, supported by Raytheon's Ship Integration and Test team onsite for ongoing system integration and testing.

Sarkozy camp cheered by poll boost over rival
Nicolas Sarkozy received a much-needed boost in his campaign for re-election yesterday after an opinion poll put him ahead of his Socialist rival, François Hollande, for the first time.
The poll indicated that he could expect 28.5 per cent of the vote in the first round of the election and Mr Hollande 27 per cent. Although Mr Sarkozy, 57, is still trailing the Socialist in voting intentions for the second-round run-off, he will see the rating improvement as a vindication of his attempt to lure working-class voters.He has appealed to supporters of Marine Le Pen, the National Front leader, with right-wing initiatives, including a pledge last week to curb immigration. Ms Le Pen fell to 16 per cent.
The survey showed the gap between the…

Debt, Leases, Taxes, and the Endogeneity of Corporate Tax Status
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): John R. Graham, Michael L. Lemmon, James S. Schallheim
- Published: Dec 17, 2002
- Pages: 131-162
We provide evidence that corporate tax status is endogenous to financing decisions, which induces a spurious relation between measures of financial policy and many commonly used tax proxies. Using a forward‐looking estimate of before‐financing corporate marginal tax rates, we document a negative relation between operating leases and tax rates, and a positive relation between debt levels and tax rates. This is the first unambiguous evidence supporting the hypothesis that low tax rate firms lease more, and have lower debt levels, than high tax rate firms.

In an interview to CNBC-TV18, Samiran Chakrabarty, Head of Research, Standard Chartered Bank spoke about his reading of the August trade deficit data and the road ahead.
In an interview to CNBC-TV18, Samiran Chakrabarty, Head of Research, Standard Chartered Bank spoke about his reading of the August trade deficit data and the road ahead.
Below is an edited transcript of the interview on CNBC-TV18
Q: These are the prima facie numbers that we have, the trade deficit numbers are coming in at USD 10.9 billion, what would your initial take be on that?
A: It is marginally higher than what we were expecting. What is comforting in the data is the very high growth in exports at 13 percent year-over-year (Y-o-Y). What is discomforting is that if gold imports were so low as reported by media in the last few days, just about 2.5-5 tonne, vis-à-vis 36-40 tonne earlier so then we would have anticipated a farther reduction in imports on the back of that. So imports have not corrected as much as we had anticipated.
Q: What is your view on how the situation will pan out going ahead because for a systemic reduction in gold imports, we need to see a consumer price index (CPI) inflation coming down as well? On both these parameters, how much do you think CPI inflation could moderate? How much do you think gold imports could recede going ahead?
A: Let us accept that the reason behind the decline in gold imports in August seems to be purely technical, where importers stopped importing because there as no clarification on the measures announced in July.
So there is a possibility that there could be bunched up gold imports in September and October once clarity emerges on this issue. Having said that, we still think that trade deficit will not be such a big concern as we move forward.
Our own expectation is that the CAD numbers would improve substantially to a quarterly average of about USD 15 billion in the quarters ahead compared to about USD 25-30 billion, which was probably in Q1 of fiscal year 2014. So trade deficit is not going to be that much of a problem, if at all, it could be a silver lining in the whole macro story.
Q: Do you think the improvement that we have seen in exports for two months is sustainable? This in the month of August has gone up by 13 percent on year-on-year basis and even in July it was up close to about 11-12 percent?
A: There are two things. One is that both these months had significant base effects of minus 12 percent growth and minus 6.6 percent growth of last year. So part of this huge improvement in the export growth number is purely on base effect. But having said that, the second reason is also equally important where our analysts believe that there is a significant economic recovery happening in US, Europe is coming out of recession, Japan's GDP has been revised upwards.

Personal data of thousands of county employees stolen
Updated 5:36 pm, Thursday, July 11, 2013
Years-old electronic files containing the sensitive personal information of about 21,000 current and former Harris County employees appears to have been stolen, the Harris County Attorney's Office said Thursday.
Two files created in 2005 and 2007 containing the names, Social Security numbers, birth dates and hire dates of potentially every person employed at those times were discovered "in other places" by an outside law enforcement agency, said First Assistant County Attorney Robert Soard.
Soard declined to identify the agency, or say where or how the files were found. It is not clear whether the information was used maliciously, he said.
"We do not want to compromise that investigation," he said.
The county was preparing an e-mail to send to affected employees late Thursday afternoon. Letters will be sent to former employees via U.S. mail to their last known addresses, said Human Resources Director David Kester.
Soard said files containing the personal information were created prior to 2008 when the county changed a policy to better protect social security numbers.
Although the files contain the information of potentially every person who was employed at the time they were created, Soard said some of the people included in the files are no longer employed with the county.
Harris County currently has 16,017 employees, according to the county's Human Resources Department.

In a painfully familiar refrain, the Dallas Cowboys watched a December game slip away on Sunday as the result of numerous miscues on every side of the ball.
Dallas surrendered all momentum going into half, after surrendering 14 unanswered points. The first score came on a Hakeem Nicks touchdown catch, a play on which Terence Newman could have made the tackle. Instead, he played the ball, allowing Nicks, after securing it, to trot into the end zone unabated.
On the Cowboys' next drive, Marion Barber fumbled at the end of a run, allowing Osi Umenyiora to return the ball to the Dallas 28. It took only four plays for New York to cash it in, with a Brandon Jacobs touchdown run. With Nick Folk missing a desperation field goal attempt from 57 yards out, the Cowboys failed to salvage any momentum.
That pendulum swung once again in Dallas's favor in the second half, when they retook the lead on a Roy Williams touchdown catch, his second of the day. The lead would last all of a few seconds though, as Jacobs took the first play from scrimmage--a screen pass--74 yards for a score, after Anthony Spencer dropped into coverage a second too late.
Poor coverage on the part of the punt team reared its ugly head as well as, with around six minutes remaining, Domenik Hixon returned a punt for a 79-yard touchdown.
After taking over on offense, the Cowboys had a golden opportunity to answer in short order. But Romo missed a wide open Roy Williams on what would have been an easy touchdown with four minutes to play. By the time Miles Austin got into the end zone, there were a mere 59 seconds left on the clock, the game all but locked up for New York.
This is a dark harbinger for the Cowboys, who saw a competitive game go down the tubes as a result of untimely mistakes, much in the fashion of last season's loss to Baltimore in the final game at Texas Stadium.
With contests against San Diego and New Orleans looming, the Cowboys must "clean it up," as they say, if they have any hope of anything other than another long winter.

There are a couple problems with the unindent (shift+tab) shortcut I have found.
The first problem happens when trying to unindent a single indented line. If you have the cursor at the beginning of the line, or you highlight only that line (neither of the newlines to either side), nothing happens when you press the unindent shortcut. If you highlight at least one character of the line above or below, then both lines will unindent, as expected. Expected behaviour: the single line should unindent if it is the only line selected.
The second problem is odd and happens only when translateTabsToSpaces is set to true. If you select multiple indented lines, where the selection begins at and is inclusive of column 1, and the line immediately above the selection is empty, pressing the unindent shortcut will unindent the selected block by tabSize x 1 spaces as expected, but the first line of the selection will be unindented by tabSize x 2. Here is a simple illustration:
// tabSize 2, translateTabsToSpaces true, the line below is empty
If you highlight the "hello world" lines, being sure to begin the selection at column 1 of the "hello" line (select the entire line), then press the unindent shortcut, the result is this:
[code]// tabSize 2, translateTabsToSpaces true, the line below is empty
If you begin the selection at column 2, or any higher column, or the line above the selection isn't empty, then all lines of the block will be unindented by tabSize x 1 as expected.
The first is intentional: tab won't indent in that circumstance, so shit+tab won't unident. The key binding that gives this behaviour is:
<binding key="shift+tab" command="unindent">
<context name="newlineInSelection" value="true"/>
The second is a bug, I'll fix it for the next beta.
What+tab??? Hehehe. I see what you did there.
[quote="jps"]The key binding that gives this behaviour is:
<binding key="shift+tab" command="unindent">
<context name="newlineInSelection" value="true"/>
Cool, I added "" to my user key bindings and now it works as I expect it to. I noticed that some other editors also behave like your intentional behaviour though. Can you enlighten me as to why this is? I hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot by making this change
Excellent, thanks! It's actually been bugging me for a few weeks, but I finally broke down today and isolated how to reproduce it.
It's just for consistency: My preference is that for any situation where shift+tab unindents, then tab should indent. If shift+tab did unindent when no newlines were selected, then it'd be easy to accidentally overwrite the selection with a tab, when you're expecting the line to be indented.
Ah, I see. I added the following to my key bindings then:
<binding key="tab" command="indent">
<context name="option" value="translateTabsToSpaces"/>
When translateTabsToSpaces is true, it's a pretty safe bet that I'm never going to use tabs for whitespace, so this way, using tab can never overwrite by accident. Works quite well, I'd say!
This is fixed in the Feb 1st beta, thanks!

The Question: My best friend and I – both busy moms – want to take a trip to celebrate our 40th birthdays. We want hiking, sightseeing and relaxation, too.
If you're looking for an urban escape, consider places like Vancouver, New York or Paris. You can walk your feet off, take in the cultural sights, admire the scenery and then linger over locavore meals, interruption-free. (Imagine that!) But for the Big 40, you might long for something more distinct. Jessica Ainlay, who explores the world as one half of GlobetrotterGirls ( globetrottergirls.com), has these suggestions:
Costa Rica
Manuel Antonio National Park on the Pacific Coast meets your criteria if wildlife and natural beauty is on your sightseeing agenda. You'll find cliffside rooms with a sweeping view of the beach, jungles filled with black iguanas, three-toed sloths and purple-crowned fairy hummingbirds.
"The national park would be the main place to hike," says Ainlay, who visited 11 countries last year, including Costa Rica. "It's easy and is filled with animals: Sightings of monkeys and sloth, coatis, exotic birds and many other animals are practically guaranteed. … The hiking paths are all very scenic, leading through the lush jungle or following the coast line, including some remote beaches."
After all that, relax at your ocean-view swimming pool or spa. There's a range of accommodation, but Parador Resort and Spa ( hotelparador.com), Gaia Hotel and Reserve ( gaiahr.com) and Issimo Suites ( issimosuites.com) have all garnered notice for those looking to splurge, Ainlay says.
Southern Germany
If you favour beer steins over beaches, consider southern Bavaria in the foothills of the Alps. This is a land of fairy-tale castles, traditional spa towns and air so fresh "you try to gulp it in by the bucketful," Ainlay says.
She suggests basing yourself in the small and historic town of Fuessen ( fuessen.de), a two-hour train ride from Munich.
"There are a number of different paths – from easy strolls through the river valley to serious hikes through the mountains. You can actually walk from Fuessen to Neuschwanstein Castle alongside the Alps. No matter how strenuous the hikes, a stay at a spa hotel like Wellnesshotel Sommer ( hotel-sommer.de) will relax the muscles and the mind."
Or capture your birthday moment atop Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitze. Located about an hour from Fuessen, you can hike up (and ski down in the winter) or take a heart-pumping ride in a cable car that literally zips to the top.

Next-generation Plasma Sample Collection Tool
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments has introduced the Noviplex next-generation plasma sample collection tool. Noviplex Cards allow for rapid collection of a volumetric sample of plasma from an unmeasured amount of whole blood within minutes. The technology is suitable for use with LC-MS/MS analysis. Noviplex Cards offer advantages for laboratory and medical professionals, accelerating analysis and simplifying blood collection by eliminating the need for phlebotomy, syringes and glass collection tubes. Shimadzu partnered with Novilytic Laboratories to offer the Noviplex technology. The technology allows plasma generation from a finger0stick as opposed to tradition methods of blood collection and preparation. Plasma can be generated from specimen volumes ranging from 20 to 75 uL of whole blood. The technology offers a single-step, solid-phase method for sample preparation and analyte extraction. Noviplex accelerates processes by eliminating refrigeration, centrifugation solvent extraction and evaporation.

Howard Zinn (1922 –2010) was raised in a working-class family in Brooklyn, and flew bombing missions for the United States in World War II, an experience he now points to in shaping his opposition to war. Under the GI Bill he went to college and received his Ph.D. from Columbia University. In 1956, he became a professor at Spelman College in Atlanta, a school for black women, where he soon became involved in the civil rights movement, which he participated in as an adviser to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and chronicled, in his book SNCC: The New Abolitionists. Zinn collaborated with historian Staughton Lynd and mentored a young student named Alice Walker. When he was fired in 1963 for insubordination related to his protest work, he moved to Boston University, where he became a leading critic of the Vietnam War.

 In his liftetime, Zinn received the Thomas Merton Award, the Eugene V. Debs Award, the Upton Sinclair Award, and the Lannan Literary Award. He is perhaps best known for A People's History of the United States. City Lights previously published his essay collection A Power Governments Cannot Suppress. We feel lucky and proud to have known and worked with him, and are honored to bring The Historic Unfulfilled Promise to a wide readership.
 06 howardzinn.org http://howardzinn.org 01 eng 100 00 100 03 20 atomic bomb;france;hiroshima;japan;japanese history;politics;royan;world war 2;wwii 03
As an active WWII bombardier returning from the end of the war in Europe and preparing for combat in Japan, Howard Zinn read the headline "Atomic Bomb Dropped on Japan" and was glad—the war would be over. "Like other Americans," writes Zinn, "I had no idea what was going on at the higher levels, and had no idea what that 'atomic bomb' had done to men, women, children in Hiroshima, any more than I ever really understood what the bombs I dropped on European cities were doing to human flesh and blood." During the war, Zinn had taken part in the aerial bombing of Royan, France. In 1966, he went to Hiroshima, where he was invited to a "house of rest" where survivors of the bombing gathered. In this short and powerful book, the backstory of the making and use of the bomb, Zinn offers his deep personal reflections and political analysis of these events, and the profound influence they had in transforming him from an order-taking combat soldier to one of our greatest anti-authoritarian, anti-war historians.

Simultaneous publication this August in the U.S. and Japan commemorates the 65th anniversary of the USA's two atomic bombings of Japan by calling for the abolition of all nuclear weapons and an end to war as an acceptable solution to human conflict.

Praise for The Bomb:

"It's my favorite. . . . He wrote the book to remind himself and to remind us that anybody can throw the wrench in the machinery, and we often should." -- Bill Moyers

"Part history, part memoir, part sermon, The Bomb is meant to wake up citizens, to rouse them to reject 'the abstractions of duty and obedience' and to refuse to heed the call of war."
 —Jonah Raskin, The Rag Blog
 02 Howard Zinn's personal, historical, and political views on the significance of the U.S. bombings of Royan and Hiroshima 08
 "His writings and speeches, coupled with the example of his brave activism, have inspired and changed the lives of countless people, young and old. Certainly much of his power lies in the seeming contradiction between his unflinching criticism of almost every established idea and his unflinching optimism--what he himself called his 'absurdly cheerful approach to a violent and unjust world.' " -- Douglas Lummis
 CounterPunch 07 01 http://www.midwestbookreview.com/ The Midwest Book Review 08
"A bomb is highly impersonal. The dropper can kill hundreds, and never see any of them. 'The Bomb' is the memoir of Howard Zinn, a bomber in World War II who dropped bombs along the French countryside while campaigning against Germany. After learning of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Zinn now speaks out against the use of bombs and what it can do to warfare. Thoughtful and full of stories of an old soldier who regrets what he has done, 'The Bomb' is a fine posthumous release that shares much of the lost wisdom of World War II." —James A. Cox

"Throughout his academic career, his popular writings and work as an activist Zinn consistently, and often successfully, threw a wrench in the works of the US war machine. He may be gone, but through his powerful and passionate body of work – of which The Bomb is an excellent introduction – thousands of others will be educated and inspired to work for a more humane and peaceful world."
 —Ian Sinclair

 Morning Star 07 01 http://www.fpif.org/articles/review_the_bomb Foreign Policy in Focus 08
"Zinn, the people's historian, leaves us with words that bring together thought, action, and passion. His experience during World War II left him unpersuaded by the arguments of military necessity and the appeals to nationalism. We must refuse 'to be transfixed by the actions of other people, the truths of other times,' he writes in The Bomb. This 'means acting on what we feel and think, here, now, for human flesh and sense, against the abstractions of duty and obedience.'" —Marcus Raskin
 Foreign Policy in Focus 07 01 http://www.warresisters.org/node/1085 WIN Magazine 08
"The path that Howard Zinn walked—from bombardier to activist—gives hope that each of us can move from clinical detachment to ardent commitment, from violence to nonviolence." — Frida Berrigan

 WIN Magazine 07 01 http://inthesetimes.com/article/6198/howard_zinns_final_act_of_protest In These Times 08
"Zinn's last book is a modest appeal to humanity: War is miserable, and we have to stop it."
 —Micah Uetricht
 In These Times 07 01 http://www.laprogressive.com/defense/howard-zinn-bomb/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+laprogressive+%28The+LA+Progressive%29 LA Progressive 08
"The late Howard Zinn's new book The Bomb is a brilliant little dissection of some of the central myths of our militarized society."

"This is in all likelihood the final original book by long-time VFP member and WWII vet Zinn. It has a publication date of August 2010 to mark the 65th anniversary of America's two atomic bombings of Japan. The much-loved, greatly admired Zinn died in January, 2010 at 88, just a month after completing this volume."

—Will Shapira
 Veterans for Peace 07 01 http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/publishing/booklist_publications/booklist/booklist.cfm Booklist 08
"Occasioned by the 65th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, Zinn's final work (completed just before his death in January 2010), combines a discussion of the horrors of atomic warfare with a glimpse at the carnage in Royan, which included the deaths of over 1,000 civilians in one of the first uses of napalm. . . . Zinn's call to reject disproportionate violence in war remains unalloyed and relevant to today's conflicts."—Brendan Driscoll
 Booklist 23 01 http://www.citylights.com/resources/titles/87286100167600/extras/TheBombExcerptCL.pdf 23 01 http://japanfocus.org/-Howard-Zinn/3375 44
Inspired by the catalytic role pamphlet publishing has played throughout American history, Greg Ruggiero founded the Open Media Series in 1991 as an act of war protest, as well as an act of solidarity with social movements promoting greater freedom, justice, and democracy.

Over the years, Ruggiero has published some of the most outspoken scholars, social justice advocates, artists, and dissidents of our time, including Noam Chomsky, Angela Y. Davis, Howard Zinn, Arundhati Roy, Ralph Nader, Alice Walker, Manning Marable, Tanya Reinhart, John Cage, Keith Haring, Allen Ginsberg, Amiri Baraka, Daniel Ellsberg, Michio Kaku, Helen Caldicott, Bill Ayers, Subcomandante Marcos, and the Dalai Lama.

In the spring of 2006, Ruggiero joined the ranks of the City Lights editorial team. The launch of the City Lights Open Media Series marked a new chapter in the publishing of intelligent, inspiring, and potentially radicalizing books. Among the recent and forthcoming titles in the series are A Power Governments Cannot Suppress by Howard Zinn; Spying on Democracy by Heidi Boghosian; A New Critical Edition of Frederick Douglass's Narrrative of a Slave by Angela Y. Davis; Dying to Live by Joseph Nevins; Mexico Unconquered by John Gibler; Mumia Abu-Jamal's Writing on the Wall, edited by Johanna Fernandez; Learning to Die in the Anthropocene by Roy Scranton; and Because We Say So by Noam Chomsky. "The heart of a functioning democracy is public engagement, communication, and intelligence," says Ruggiero. "The mission of the series is to increase all three."

PRAISE FOR THE OPEN MEDIA SERIES

 See a bio for Greg Ruggiero, founder of the Open Media series 	 "An operation out to change the world" –Evelyn Nieves, The New York Times

 "Like Tom Paine or Martin Luther, the Open Pamphlet Series desperately wants to create democratic debate by providing timely snippets of information and analysis that the empire would just as soon suppress. They're a quick read, and in a time of intellectual as well as political crisis, they put serious information into the hands and minds of a needy public… 'Public intelligence is power,' says Ruggiero, and he's determined to disseminate both." –James Ledbetter, The Village Voice

Of course BBC America and BBC Worldwide would want to make the introduction of the new Doctor a big affair, which is why they're launching a global world tour to officially introduce Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor. Peter Capaldi, who's playing the Twelfth Doctor in the beloved sci-fi series Doctor Who, will be joined by Jenna Coleman, the Doctor's companion, along with series executive producer Steven Moffat (for some of the tour). This trip will have them visiting seven cities across five continents in twelve days, presumably without an actual Tardis to get them around on schedule.
The Doctor Who World Tour will launch in the United Kingdom on August 7 and finish up in Brazil on August 19. Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman will make their first U.S. appearance together on Thursday, August 14 when they arrive in New York. The tour will begin in Cardiff, Wales. Other destinations include London (UK), Seoul (South Korea), Sydney (Australia), New York (US), Mexico City (Mexico) and then finally, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
As the official announcement notes, Doctor Who executive producer and Lead Writer Steven Moffat will be participating in the tour, however due to production commitments, he won't be able to attend the entire tour. His schedule will be confirmed soon.
"I've always thought we'd all be a lot safer if the Doctor conquered the world, instead of the Daleks," Moffat said. "Now with Jenna and Peter leading the charge, it looks like it's going to happen. I'll be bringing up the rear to handle the exposition scenes, and maybe carry some bags."
News of Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman's tour around the world follows confirmation that Doctor Who will premiere Season 8 in the U.K. and Stateside this August. Though no specific premiere date for Doctor Who has been announced beyond the month, it has been confirmed that the 12-episode eighth season will premiere on BBC America on the same day and date as it airs in the U.K.
The Doctor Who tour dates might actually offer a clue as to exactly when the series will return. If we assume that BBC America and BBC Worldwide want the tour completed before the series returns on either side of the pond, then we might not expect Doctor Who to premiere until at least August 23. That is, assuming the series will continue airing on Saturday night. With that said, if the tour is passing through the U.S. on August 14, then perhaps the intended premiere date for the U.S. and U.K. will be August 16, the first Saturday after. We can only speculate, but I'm going to guess that the tour wouldn't take place after the premiere, so that would eliminate August 2 and August 9 from the equation. Maybe.
