Movie Review – The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2
The end of the journey. It sounds so final, yet here we are and it's bittersweet. When "The Hunger Games" premiered in 2012, with a seemingly simplistic premise, I did not anticipate how deep and absorbing a sci-fi YA adaptation could be. And how it could maintain its momentum installment after installment.
By now we all know that teenagers forced to fight one another in a life-or-death game hosted by a rich totalitarian government as entertainment only scratches the surface. The Hunger Games is not a game. What starts off as a personal story of survival for Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence, "American Hustle," "X-Men: First Class") turns her into a symbol of defiance against the cruel system, and a beacon of hope for her impoverished and oppressed people to rise up.
And rise up they did. The political propaganda machine from 'Mockingjay Part 1" continues from President Coin (Julianne Moore), the dissident leader, who expects Katniss to continue to pose for the cameras and give rousing speeches to rally the rebels. She's too valuable of an asset to be in the frontline and needs to be seen alive and talking. Katniss, of course, wants to be on the ground with the troops, to march to the Capitol to kill President Snow (Donald Sutherland, "The Mechanic") herself and end the regime.
On Katniss' side are Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). Complicated feelings run deep with both men for different reasons, although wisely never overshadow the main story. Katniss' purpose in life is never defined by her love interests.
A crack in her lifelong friendship with Gale appears when they come to a head over warfare philosophy and strategy, involving the lives of civilians as a way to win the war. Peeta is clearly not himself, still suffering from the brainwashing effects by President Snow, leading to emotional confrontations with Katniss.
Katniss eventually sneaks out from President Coin's underground bunker and makes the trek towards Capitol and President Snow's estate, accompanied by several key players. A treacherous trek, war-torn streets marked by hidden traps, yielding machine gun shots, deadly explosives and lethal liquid, not to mention Capitol's armed peacekeepers and Mutts, ferocious underground creatures. Lives are lost (a few in gruesome ways), including one so close to Katniss' heart. The latter is a very quick scene that barely registers, but its impact comes out later and is distressingly felt, emotionally performed by Lawrence.
The solo "Kill Snow" plan doesn't go as planned. Bloods spill among Capitol civilians, peacekeepers and rebels as Katniss gets closer to the estate. There's a force working behind the scene unbeknownst to Katniss. And casualties happen; it's the harsh reality of war.
In the end, Katniss takes a decisive stance to end a vicious cycle of conflict and violence, and ensure that people have the freedom and choice to secure their own future.
One person who is not surprised by Katniss' independent act is Plutarch Heavensbee (the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, "The Ides of March"), the former gamemaker, conveying his hope that Katniss will find peace, something that has eluded her damaged state for so long, when justice is served.
There are times where the movie slogs along, and it feels that 'Mockingjay Part 1' and 'Mockingjay Part 2″ could have been combined into a three-hour plus movie without losing much development.
The ending is mildly sweet, as a sunlit scene of a new family closes the saga for good. 'Mockingjay Part 2' is not as staggeringly scorching as the previous installments, but it is a solid, solemn conclusion to a brutal journey of an ordinary girl, a reluctant heroine who inspires and unites a nation in a dystopian time.

Fact Sheet: A Tropical Herb Garden
Presenter: Leonie Norrington, 25/09/2010
SERIES 21 Episode 31
Some of the most widely-used herbs and spices in the world are grown in tropical areas. Leonie is building a herb garden outside her studio because it receives plenty of sun, which the plants she has chosen need.
Two plants Leonie is growing are pepper and vanilla. They are both vines and need to grow on a trellis. Leonie builds a structure by attaching two horizontal hardwood timber beams to two vertical steel poles which are in the ground. She finishes the structure by attaching vertical timber slats to the beams.
Pepper (Piper nigrum)
Leonie plants a pepper vine at either end of the trellis - on the sunny side. As they grow, Leonie will train them along the trellis and when they start to fruit, the pepper will be easy to harvest.
Pepper is a jungle plant and, because the roots need to remain cool, Leonie applies plenty of mulch. "They're also quite hungry, so you need to folia fertilise them three or four times a year."
The vine will fill the trellis in about three years. Berries that are picked when they're fat and green can be dried to make black pepper. However, if you allow the berries to mature and turn red, then peel them to reveal the seed, that is actually white pepper.
In the wild, pepper flowers are pollinated by rain, so it's important to irrigate plants in a manner that replicates this.
Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia)
Vanilla is a very popular spice that comes from the tiny seeds of an orchid. Leonie has stored vanilla cuttings in her shade-house for two weeks so the ends heal and reduce the risk of infection. Leonie removes the bottom leaves from the cuttings where she will attach them to the trellis.
Vanilla is an epiphyte, which means it doesn't rely on receiving water and nutrients from in-ground roots. In the wild it grows on trees. Leonie is using the other side of the trellis that the pepper is growing on because vanilla prefers a semi-shaded position. The horizontal pieces of timber will give it something to cling to. The cuttings can be anchored in the ground using pieces of charcoal or they can be tied directly to the planks.
Vanilla needs to be eight metres long before it flowers, so the vine can be trained back and forth along the slats until it's long enough.
Leonie is also planting pandan, which requires a completely different growing environment than the pepper and vanilla.
Pandan (Pandanus sp)
Pandan is a small, fragrant plant used in many Indonesian dishes.
Leonie plants the Pandan and pushes a slow-release fertiliser tablet into the potting mix. She places the plant on top of a large water pot where it can take up as much water as it needs. The large pot already contains established Vietnamese Mint and Indian Pennyroyal.

Labour leadership hopeful Liz Kendall warns the party could be locked out of power forever
ONE of the frontrunners for the Labour leadership has warned that the party could be locked out of government forever following its catastrophic election result.
Labour leadership candidate Liz Kendall warned Labour could face being locked out of Downing Street
Blairite high-flyer Liz Kendall said the party must rebuild its support quickly before the next election or face an eternity in the political wilderness.
In a series of astonishing remarks the leadership contender said that Labour should abandon its left-wing stance under Ed Miliband and instead advocate lower taxes and an in/out referendum on EU membership.
She also said that public confidence in the party's economic record was now so low that it would have to drop some of its most traditional policies to "make a point" to the electorate.
"One more parliament like the last means we might be unable to form a majority government ever again," she told the Guardian.
She added: "We should have won a majority. We had fewer seats to win back than any opposition in a generation yet we ended up with the worst result since 1987."
Labour won just 232 seats at least week's General Election and was all but wiped out in its Scottish heartlands in what was the party's worst result in three decades.
Miss Kendall was scathing of the approach her party took to business under Ed Miliband and Ed Balls
Ed Mililband and his shadow Chancellor Ed Balls were repeatedly savaged over Labour's economic policies and record in Government during a campaign in which they were roundly criticised for being anti-business.
Miss Kendall, the MP for Leicester West, said that Labour must now concentrate on embracing business and proving that it could run the economy at a surplus if it is to win back the people who voted for Tony Blair.
Amongst the eye-catching measures it should adopt is dropping Ed Miliband's pledge to restore the top 50p rate of tax.
She said: "The party should have reined in spending before the crash - even though the crash itself was not caused by overspending by the Labour government."
She also backed the government's welfare cap, saying: "Voters in my constituency do not feel people who are not working should get more than those in work."
Amongst her more controversial remarks was her support for David Cameron's promised in/out referendum on EU membership.
Despite being a passionate advocated of the EU, Miss Kendall said: "We should have that referendum, make the case and take on the argument, early, strongly and passionately."

Nanny Cams
Read more...
As a parent, especially a new parent, you may be concerned about leaving your child with a caregiver other than yourself. As a result of these concerns, you may think about using a nanny cam. This is a delicate issue that should be handled in a sensitive manner. There are not only legal issues to consider but also the impact on your relationship with your nanny. Below are some of the details of the California law. In addition to the laws, you may want to think about how this may affect your relationship with your nanny. Trust is very important in this unique relationship and needs to be nurtured. If you are to go with a nanny cam, you should discuss this with your interview candidates prior to hiring (in the interview) and once hired, have the nanny sign a document stating that they are aware of the "hidden camera." This way you are hiring someone who you know is comfortable with this practice.
The short answer is it is legal to use a hidden camera in all 50 states, however it is illegal to record someone's speech in 15 states (including California) without their consent. California Video recording of "confidential communications" is prohibited without consent.
The laws of 13 states expressly prohibit the unauthorized installation or use of cameras in private places. In California, installation or use of any device for photographing, observing or overhearing events or sounds in a private place without the permission of the people photographed or observed is against the law. A private place is one where a person may reasonably expect to be safe from unauthorized surveillance.
Consider that studies and polls show that many care providers are not necessarily against video taping of child-provider interaction, it's just that they want to know about it. It seems to be a matter of trust and feeling of deception. Some parents handle the situation by telling a potential care provider upfront that a nanny cam will be used so that they can feel comfortable and confident about their child's care. It's then up to the nanny to accept or decline the position with a family who uses a nanny cam.
Something else you may want to look into is www.howsmynanny.com. A site where you can sign up for a license plate for your stroller so that if someone sees something while your nanny is out and about that is either favorable or unfavorable, it can be reported using the stroller plate, you then receive an e-mail immediately with the posted report! These "license plates" may also be used in such a way that people may report loving, wonderful interactions between your nanny and child, and you may use these reports as reasons to provide your nanny with an incentive or bonus.

Audi A4L is a dangerous dragon In China
Published on December 24, 2012 by Tycho de Feijter
A very red and dangerous dragon seen on an Audi A4L in Beijing. Dragon stickers on cars are quite common in China but this is by far biggest I have ever seen, stretching over the whole side of the vehicle, full with angry fire! The Audi A4L is a stretched variant of the Audi A4, made in China by the FAW-Volkswagen joint venture.

BOSTON — Craig Kimbrel's last four outings have been shaky, but the Red Sox aren't worried about their hard-throwing closer going into the postseason.
Kimbrel earned the 4-3 loss Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays after a leadoff walk to left fielder Michael Saunders ended with pinch-runner Dalton Pompey scoring the game-winning run in the ninth inning. Walks have been an issue for the 28-year-old reliever of late because of some mechanical issues, but his coaches are confident he can fix them.
"I think really the last three outings now, just getting a little out of posture with his upper body causing him to get rotational," pitching coach Carl Willis said of Kimbrel. "The stuff's still there, and like I said before, I want to say August 13 to September 24, he allowed one unearned run. He was very good and relatively efficient in being that good, so whether he's trying to create a little bit of velocity right now, which he doesn't need to do because he has plenty of life on the ball, that could be where that posture is getting a little bit top-heavy."
The numbers Willis gave were spot-on, but in his last four outings beginning Sept. 24, Kimbrel has given up six earned runs and six walks. But he says he can turn it around like he did earlier in the season.
"Yeah, it's nothing different," Kimbrel said. "It's the same — I think every pitcher kind of deals with something, a kind of a click they have to pay attention to, and it comes around, but I'll get it squared away. You don't have to worry about that."
Red Sox manager John Farrell doesn't envision this affecting Kimbrel's playoff stock, either.
"Yes," Farrell said when asked if he has confidence in Kimbrel. "And even in a tie game situation like tonight where the guys that are available, he's the guy in that spot, and will continue to do so."
Here are some more notes from Saturday's loss.
— After the Cleveland Indians beat the Kansas City Royals 6-3 on Saturday, the Red Sox are in danger of losing home-field advantage in the American League Division Series. You can read in-depth on what the Red Sox have to do to secure more games at Fenway Park here.
— David Ortiz was replaced by pinch-runner Travis Shaw in the fifth inning despite the score being knotted at two at the time. Farrell said that decision was made after the designated hitter struggled to run out what ended up being a groundout to end the second inning.
"After he grounded out, obviously we know what he's dealing with," Farrell said. "And under the conditions tonight and the way he got down the line in that second at-bat, felt like three was enough here tonight."
— Mookie Betts went 2-for-4 with two runs and a double and leads Major League Baseball with 67 multi-hit games and 359 total bases. The right fielder also leads the league with 113 hits at home, which is the most at Fenway Park in a single season since Nomar Garciaparra did it in 2003.
— Eduardo Rodriguez still shined at times despite a rough second inning. The lefty struck out nine to give him 29 K's in his last three starts. He has struck out the side in five of his last eight innings.

Our Exchange Street Clinic is open every Thursday 5.30pm to 7.30pm and provides sexual health information, testing for sexual infections including HIV, free condoms and signposting to other services.
Simon Pringle, Service Manager at ADA, commented "...we know that those within LGBT communities can be at higher risk of sexually transmitted infections and indeed problematic alcohol and/ or drug use, so this joint new clinic is an excellent opportunity to engage with these groups".
We would encourage anyone within the LGBT community who is concerned, to drop in and see us for free and confidential advice as well as tests and treatments.
Colin McKay, lead worker at the Exchange St Clinic said "...attendance figures have exceeded our expectations and we've been delighted with the positive feedback we've received. Being a drop-in service operating out of hours appears to be a huge draw for this service, and as an agency we're delighted to provide this service in partnership with Grampian Sexual Health offering gay, bi-, and MSM's a wider choice of times and venues for testing.

Component Sharing in the Management of Product Variety: A Study of Automotive Braking Systems
Product variety in many industries has increased steadily throughout this century. Component sharing---using the same version of a component across multiple products---is increasingly viewed by companies as a way to offer high variety in the marketplace while retaining low variety in their operations. Yet, despite the popularity of component sharing in industry, little is known about how to design an effective component-sharing strategy or about the factors that influence the success of such a strategy. In this paper we critically examine component sharing using automotive front brakes as an example. We consider three basic questions: (1) What are the key drivers and trade-offs of component-sharing decisions? (2) How much variation exists in actual component-sharing practice? and (3) How can this variation be explained? To answer these questions, we develop an analytic model of component sharing and show through empirical testing that this model explains much of the variation in sharing practice for automotive braking systems. We find that the optimal number of brake rotors is a function of the range of vehicle weights, sales volume, fixed component design and tooling costs, variable costs, and the variation in production volume across the models of the product line. We conclude with a discussion of the general managerial implications of our findings.

On the 24 November, Chiara from Julie's Bicycle was in Dublin to help run an EE MUSIC Workshop for venues and events organisers in Ireland. Our co-organiser and local EE MUSIC Ambassador is Claire Byrne, sustainability manager at Body&Soul and other Irish music festivals and also a Dublin City Councillor for the Green Party.
The event took place in the Parlour at Whelan's in Dublin. The iconic venue has been hosting live music events since 1989 and operates several stages - the main venue (capacity 450), Upstairs (capacity 120), and The Parlour.
Warmed by a cozy fire, representatives from across the music event and energy industries ranging from festival production professionals to CODEMA, Dublin's Energy Agency, discussed what it would take to improve the way the music events industry in Ireland relates to energy use.
Brian Sweeney from Dublin-based energy consultancy Evolved Energy Solutions gave us a presentation in the context of Ireland:
He also presented a case study of an energy audit undertaken in a club in Dublin. Among the things they found were:
Lastly, he looked at some possible funding mechanisms for energy efficiency in Ireland:
A key piece of advice he offered is that when investing in energy upgrades to always obtain written assurances on any claims of costs and energy savings BEFORE implementing upgrades.
Chiara looked at hotspots for energy use and potential savings in clubs and venues, as covered in the EE MUSIC Handbook. One challenge that was mentioned by many in the room is the relative age of most small to medium venue buildings in Ireland, and the lack of investment and funding for the required upgrades.
In the afternoon, we focused on environmental sustainability at events. Claire Byrne gave a thorough overview of initiatives implemented at Body&Soul festival, including the creation of the "Us&You" brand to engage audiences while also demonstrating the green actions the festival was undertaking itself. Key successes include engagement with the waste contractor, increasing their waste-recycling rate from 7% to over 50% in the space of 3 years. The festival also has a hugely oversubscribed 'green' camping area that is so clean it's possible to walk around barefoot among the tents.
Following this was a session on general energy management at festivals. One key challenge that was brought up was a tendency for incoming productions, especially headline artists, to overspecify the amount of power they want to be provided with – and a tendency for end users to demand sole use of a generator (due to 'old school' concerns about power trips), making good system design difficult on site. Any more efficient approaches to energy management on festival sites is therefore as much an issue of challenging old norms as it is of identifying the correct technology and power spec.
Overall, there is a keen interest among the industry in Ireland – but the challenges faced are similar to those in other European countries. The key challenges mentioned by attendees were:
When asked in what ways the events industry in Ireland could better address environmental sustainability, attendees suggested the following:
The practical tools and actions attendees pledged to look at in their own operations included:
When asked who was currently missing from the conversation and whose support was needed, attendees listed:
The EE MUSIC Team hopes that the music event industry and energy professionals in the room will take this discussion forward, using this Workshop as a starting point for further action that might just resolve some of the challenges we stumbled across.

Two things were reported about the very expected sequel, one that we knew (pretty much) and the other one that we didn't.
As we all knew familiar faces will return, who most likely than not are the original three. But that seemed kind of obvious, but at least some light has been shone on the future and now we know for sure we are going to see another group of three leading the new movies. Not that exciting but after so little news regarding this movie, any news is exciting news.
The second one, leads us more into a better understanding of the way the movie is going to go; the sequel will take place 30 years after Return of the Jedi. Which is really nice because it has been about the same time since the movie actually came out. Still nothing more is said but hopefully now knowing that the principal photography begins in May we will hear casting news and more detailed announcements.

Several years ago, three dads and two uncles would gather on a Saturday in one of their garages to master the art of home brew. Before long, the salesman of the group said, "You know, this is good enough to sell." So the friends set out to do just that.
The name "Seven Brides" actually came from the dads' kids. Between the three of them, they have only daughters. With the rising cost of wedding nuptials, the guys decided they needed to sell enough beer to pay for their daughters weddings. Each of the girls has a beer named after her.
Seven Brides prides itself on being a local brewery that uses local products. Seven Brides uses certified Oregon hops, and acquires grain from Vancouver, WA. Yeast is purchased from Odell, Oregon. The brewery works hard at being environmentally friendly. The cooling water is recycled each time they brew, and the spent grain goes to a local farmer to feed livestock.
Frankenlou's IPA
A decidedly hoppy and bitter IPA. Intense hop aroma with a citrus and floral nose. Great balance, clean and malty sweet with a toasted caramel finish.
• 7% alcohol by volume (ABV)
Munich, Vienna, and German pilsner malt give this beer a caramel and slightly sweet malt flavor. Fresh roasted hazelnuts from Silverton impart an aroma and complimentary flavor to the rich malt.
• 6.5% alcohol by volume (ABV)
Becky's Black Cat Porter
Our rich, dark Porter is delicious, full-bodied ale with a creamy, chocolate colored head. The Porter s smooth flavor and wonderful finish comes from a blend of deep-roasted barley malt and wonderful Willamette valley hops.
• 7% alcohol by volume (ABV)
Rose's Imperial Pilsner
German pilsner malt combined with Hercules and Sorachi Ace hops to produce a slightly sweet, and crisp malt taste.
• 8.5% alcohol by volume (ABV)

Black and white canvas prints add contrast and dimension to any space. Considered a timeless classic, this style of photography—commonly used within the realm of interior design—places a greater emphasis on composition, lighting, perspective, and subject.
Photosplitting involves taking one image and creating a canvas grouping. Consider photo splitting a black and white print above your headboard to add uniqueness, depth, and character to the walls without disrupting the colour scheme of the bedroom. Easy to incorporate, the canvas print also helps bring up light accent colours, such as red, green, and yellow. Moreover, consider whether you prefer a three or four panel black and white canvas print. Be sure to take into account the size of the black and white canvas wall art to ensure it comfortably fits within your bedroom constraints. Generally speaking, photo splits are measured according to the size the panels would make if they were placed adjacent to each other. However, when hung, it is best to leave 5 to 7 cm of space between each panel, so do not forget to account for this. Photosplitting works best with large canvas wall art.
Mix and Match
Consider creating a wall display with multiple black and white canvas prints, each of varying dimensions; this brings contrast to any room. You can purchase each photograph as a separate, or opt for a set that comes with three, five, or even seven prints. To help showcase the wall art and decrease glare, use rail or track lighting.
Floating Shelves
Decorate floating shelves or the top of bookcases with black and white canvas wall art. Not only does this eliminate wall damage caused by hanging photographs, but it also serves to transform your interior space in a matter of minutes. With this route, it is important to keep in mind sizing; this technique works best with smaller black and white canvas prints no larger than 20 by 25 cm.
Living Room Decor
Unlike traditional prints, canvas pictures do not require framing. Thus, they prove an excellent alternative. Hang several black and white canvas prints of equal sizing above your couch, or add dimension to a staircase with different sized prints. For a uniform look, keep the subject matter of the prints the same. Canvas wall art flowers, scenic views, or family photos all make excellent choices. A black and white canvas print with a favourite quote can fill the empty void of a small space while bringing with it an element of family unity.

Parents, as you think about which movie to see this weekend, here's the scoop about The Lorax from Rebecca Cusey:
The story follows Ted (voice of Zac Efron) as he tries to impress Audrey (voice of Taylor Swift) by finding the elusive creature called the Lorax (voice of Danny DeVito). The Lorax is a bit cranky because all his trees have been taken. John said the movie was good in its creation, funny and well-made, enjoyable. However, he cautioned that it carries a strong environmental message that becomes downright anti-business. It's as if there's no middle ground, he said, between liking trees and businesses wanting all trees to be destroyed. It sets up a false choice. Parents should be aware that the movie carries this message.
In fact, The Lorax movie's official website encourages kids to change their Facebook profile pictures to help save the trees, to "go green," and to participate in the National Education Association's "Read with the Trees" program. (Notably, they have a donation button so that Lorax fans can contribute to the NEA as well.) They also helpfully include education plans for teachers to use with their students, including one which helps students understand that "individual choices contribute to climate change. Students will learn the role that carbon-containing greenhouse gases play in the changing climate and calculate their own carbon footprints."
Hum…maybe staying home with an online rental this weekend will help reduce your family's carbon footprint.

A transfer problem
I'm transferring my WordPress blog from one host to another, but I believe I acted too quickly. I used the Cpanel feature to make a complete backup of everything I have on the server. I thought it would be as easy as copying all of WordPress files to the new server. This didn't work, though. I still have the generic, "hello world� post as the only thing posted. It did restore my old template, however, which is a start. I guess my question is where is my content saved if it's not in the files that are come with WordPress? Since I made a complete backup of the server, I hope that I can still restore my 300+ posts. I have searched around and found a lot of topics about importing and exporting but nothing specifically to my problem.

With the Jake Peavy trade going down, a roster spot opened up. Since Blake Tekotte was optioned to AAA yesterday to make room for Andre Rienzo, the Sox have recalled Jordan Danks from Charlotte to give the team another outfield option.
Many people will probably want to see the newly-acquired Avisail Garcia play in the big leagues, but Danks makes more sense for now. With Alex Rios still on the roster at this point, there simply aren't the at-bats available for Garcia.
While the White Sox sent Danks down last month because they wanted to give Danks more playing time, that ship seems to have sailed now with the Garcia acquisition, and the Sox probably want to see if Danks can be at least a fourth outfielder moving forward.
It doesn't sound like Alex Rios' foot injury is serious enough to warrant a DL stint, as the team's calling it just a bruise. So, unless he leaves via trade, expect to see Garcia stick in AAA to get at-bats while Jordan Danks backs up all three outfield positions.
Danks was hitting .279 with six home runs and 28 RBI for the Knights. This will be his fourth major league stint over the last two seasons (third this year), and he's hit .192 with two home runs and six RBI in 104 career at-bats. Both of those home runs have been game-winners, hitting a walk-off in the ninth against Oakland last August, and hitting a solo home run in Kansas City in extra innings back in May.

Michigan took care of the Hoosiers on Saturday, 63-47. The Wolverines' offensive performance was spectacular, but their defensive performance didn't quite live up to Michigan's standards. All in all, they walked away with a win and now have a bye week to fix the problems that have emerged. Here are three players who weren't problems for Michigan on Saturday and earned themselves helmet stickers for their performances.
WR Jeremy Gallon. The senior set a Big Ten record with 369 receiving yards. He said he didn't really sense he was on the verge of a record, and after the game guessed how many yards he had accounted for and said "200 or maybe 250." Gallon was the main target for the Wolverines receiving corps against the Hoosiers. Just seven games into his final season he has already surpassed his previous season bests for yardage and touchdowns.
QB Devin Gardner. The junior threw for a program-record 503 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions while adding 81 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. His 584 yards of total offense was also a program record and was one yard shy of the conference total-yardage record. Gardner put together a consistent game while playing behind a new offensive line (new starters at both guard positions) and commanded the offense to show up in big moments.
S Thomas Gordon. His stat line was pretty bare -- no tackles, no pass break ups, no fumble recoveries. But his two fourth-quarter interceptions came in defining moments for this team. Gordon's first pick was with just under eight minutes remaining and with the Wolverines clinging to a two-point lead. Just a few plays earlier, Gardner had fumbled the snap and the Hoosiers had recovered at the two-yard line. With Michigan needing a play, Gordon picked of IU quarterback Nate Sudfeld at the 35-yard line and returned it 30 yards, setting up the Wolverines for a touchdown. A few possessions later, Gordon picked off QB Tre Roberson at the 6-yard line and returned it 11 yards, giving the Wolverines some breathing room with a nine-point lead.

Alnashmy has been keeping much better company since scoring at Tipperary in June and will be suited by dropping back to his best trip, though this is his Polytrack debut. Obviously did very well to beat the consistent but luckless pair Eagle Canyon and Fred Fenster at Cork and is well regarded but a line through the placed horses gives him plenty to find with SOLAR VERDE. Dermot Weld's filly had those two behind when scoring at Gowran last month and looks nicely treated providing she handles the surface. Katherine Lee had been going well on turf before making all over a mile here last month and a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run, while Boom To Bust is certain to come in for support after a facile success in a Bellewstown maiden in August.
Alnashmy (FR) 5-1 (9-12) Tracked leaders on inner in 4th, pushed along in 5th 2f out, kept on under pressure inside final furlong, not quite reach principals, 3rd of 7, 1l behind Words Of Wisdom (8-11) at Killarney 1m 3yo hcp 60-90 gd in Aug.

Charpoy (USA) 12-1 (9-6) Tracked leader in 2nd, ridden along in 3rd 2f out, no extra inside final furlong, 4th of 8, 4l behind Takapour (9-6) at Dundalk 1m 3f stks pol in Sep.
Obviously (IRE) 6-1 (8-12) Mid-division, headway to go 2nd 2f out, challenged 1f out, kept on well under pressure to lead final 100 yards, won at Cork 7f mdn stks gf in Jul beating Eagle Canyon (9-3) by 1l, 17 ran.
Colour Of Love (IRE) 6-1 (9-7) Towards rear, niggled along after halfway, hard ridden early straight and headway into 3rd over 1f out, kept on same pace, 3rd of 5, 2l behind Barrow Island (9-8) at Leopardstown 1m hcp gd in Aug.
Betrothed (IRE) 8-1 (9-6) Tracked leaders on outer, 3rd halfway, ridden in 5th over 1f out, no extra inside final furlong, 6th of 7, 6l behind Words Of Wisdom (8-11) at Killarney 1m 3yo hcp 60-90 gd in Aug.

Golden Shoe (IRE) 6-1 (8-12) Tracked leader, kept on same pace under pressure from over 1f out, 5th of 16, 2 3/4l behind Solent Ridge (8-9) at Gowran Park 1m hcp 60-90 gd in Sep.
Katherine Lee (IRE) 9-2 (9-0) Made virtually all, disputed briefly halfway, ridden and kept on well from over 1f out, won at Dundalk 1m mdn stks pol in Sep beating Sweet Rhythm (9-0) by 2 1/2l, 14 ran.

LAS VEGAS - Floyd Mayweather Jr. had been looking forward to Sunday morning for months. He was confident he would wake up that day as an unbeaten, retired champion who could take his four kids out for pizza in peace any time he wished.
Mayweather said he was done with boxing, content to retire at 30 after winning a competitive split decision over Oscar De La Hoya on Saturday night in boxing's biggest fight in years - and likely the most lucrative fight in history, once the receipts are totaled.
Though neither fighter particularly hurt the other in an active, entertaining bout, the win again stamped Mayweather's skills as the best of this decade, and added a 154-pound belt to the burgeoning collection carried into the ring by rapper 50 Cent.
So is the Pretty Boy really ready to dance, feint and dodge into the sunset? Hardly.
In fact, Mayweather only waited a few minutes after beating De La Hoya to start hedging on his plans for a lifetime of money-counting and kiddie pizza parties.
"That's up to Leonard and Al right now," Mayweather said, referring to his top advisers. "As of right now, I'm sticking to my word, but I'm going to go home and talk with my team."
Wondering why Mayweather might return to the ring after saying he had nothing left to prove in the sport? Take a look at the slogan on the back of the T-shirts for his recording label, Philthy Rich Records: "If you don't like money, you don't like us."
Absolutely nobody believes Mayweather will retire - not with so much cash to be made from a rematch with De La Hoya, or any other matchup that could come his way in the next few months. Every fighter in three weight classes would love a shot at him, though it's too soon to predict who might catch his attention.
And once the 34-year-old De La Hoya's bruised pride heals from his failed attempt to knock off the unofficial pound-for-pound king, his business partners believe he'll want to get back in the ring as well, despite losing three of his last five fights and not beating anybody of real consequence since 2002.
Though he already has hinted at his desire for a rematch with Felix Trinidad - the first fighter to beat De La Hoya in a controversial bout - a rematch with Mayweather would loom large to the proud fighter, even though the second go-round could never match the drama or attention of the first.
"I'm going to be very smart about the situation," De La Hoya said. "I will go home and watch the fight and see how my movements were, how my body reacted, and analyze the situation. I'll wait and see. I'll analyze the whole thing and think about it."

INDIANAPOLIS — Peewinkle's Puppet Studio, a Midwest leader in marionette and puppetry performance, has entered a 2-year partnership agreement with the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites to relocate their studio to the museum. The 40-year old business will move into a 2,016 square-foot space at the museum just in time for its season opener September 15.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the art of puppetry in such a popular setting as the Indiana State Museum," said Peggy Melchior, Artistic Director of Peewinkle's. "The move into a larger space is a testament to our continued growth."
Peewinkle's, operated by Indiana residents Peggy Melchior, Debbi White and Heidi Shackleford, has partnered with the State Museum in the past during the museum's popular Celebration Crossing exhibition in December.
"As part of this agreement, the puppet studio team will also be partnering with us on workshops, camps, scavenger hunts and other educational programming throughout the two-year time period," said Vice President of Visitor Experience Susan Dyar. "It is certainly our hope that our members and guests will see the partnership with Peewinkle's as a benefit and that visitors to Peewinkle's will take the opportunity to enjoy the museum, IMAX, the café and the gift shop as well."
The opening show, Peewinkle Joins the Circus, will engage audience members by inviting them to join a gnome named Peewinkle as he learns from his friend Buttons the Clown about all the different talents that are under the big top. The show features colorful large trick marionettes with colorful music. In addition to Peewinkle Joins the Circus, other offerings this fall include Slightly Haunted (October) and Christmas at the Puppet Studio (December).
For ticket information or to make a purchase, please contact the museum box office at 317.232.1637 or visit https://secure.indianamuseum.org/WebStore/Shop/ViewItems.aspx?CG=2&C=70. Museum members receive a $2 discount off ticket purchases.
