How do you catch a falling knife without getting hurt? Many investors salivate when they see a stock falling sharply, knowing in their heart of hearts that a rebound will occur. Timing is the tricky part, though. Barry Ritholtz at The Big Picture has a few guidelines to help take out some of the guesswork - a process that worked well for him after BP PLC's sharp decline last year, and subsequent rebound.
He has three ideas: Scale in over time, look at the 40 per cent below enterprise value price and wait until an upside break over the 20-day moving average for a freefalling stock.
"These are all general methods that can be as applied to any name, not just BP," he said. "Any stock can be a winner on a purely random basis; what matters more than any single successful outcome is a repeatable methodology."
Take note, Sino-Forest Corp. investors.

Sharp rise in HIV diagnoses in Yorkshire
12:01am 29th November 2011
Thirty years on from the start of the UK HIV epidemic, new figures released by the Health Protection Agency for Yorkshire and The Humber today show there were as many as 4,600 people living with HIV in 2010, with one in four of these undiagnosed and dangerously unaware they have the infection.
The new figures show that there were 397 people newly diagnosed with HIV in the region in 2010, an increase of 4% from 2009 and a 100% increase from 2001.
In total there were 3,494 people in HIV care in Yorkshire and The Humber in 2010, more than four and a half times the 2001 total of 732.
In response to the new prediction that by 2012 there will be 100,000 people living with the infection in the UK as a whole, HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust has laid out a three point plan, for anyone sexually active, to tackle HIV in the region.
1) Have a sexual health check up, including an HIV test. The more regularly you put yourself at risk through unprotected sex the more frequently you need to test. HIV testing is easy, confidential and now available in local community settings as well as sexual health clinics, so you can fit it around your daily schedule.
2) Use condoms with every new partner: Until you have been tested and know for sure that neither of you have HIV, or another sexually transmitted infection to pass on, condoms are essential protection.
3) If you have HIV get yourself treated and looked after. Visit MyHIV.org.uk to gain detailed information and advice on living well with HIV, including personal support from other people living with HIV through the community forums. And start treatment when a doctor advises - modern HIV treatment reduces onward transmission as well as lengthening your life.
Jane Morel, Regional Manager for Terrence Higgins Trust, said:
"HIV rates in Yorkshire and The Humber remain dangerously high and to bring them down we all have to take responsibility for our sexual health. We can't just rely on partners, or chance, to keep sex safe.
"Our Stand Up, Stand Out campaign this World AIDS Day (1st December) aims to raise greater awareness of HIV. There are more people than ever with HIV in Yorkshire and The Humber and a large proportion of these may be passing on the virus, unaware that they even have it. Lets start talking more about safer sex, testing and treatment to keep people well and prevent even more becoming infected."
Other key national findings:
- 6,660 people were newly diagnosed with HIV in 2010, an increase from 2009. Half (50%) of these people were diagnosed late, after they should have begun treatment. Almost 700 people with HIV died in 2010.
- Infections acquired in the UK continue to rise significantly, at 3,640 for 2010, more than double the figure a decade ago
- Numbers of people infected through heterosexual sex in the UK tripled (in the last decade) and continue to rise.
- 50% of new diagnoses in 2010 were among heterosexuals and 42% of these infections were acquired in Africa.
- 69,400 people in the UK accessed care and treatment for HIV, an increase of 6% on 2009 and more than a three fold increase since 2000.
- More than 1 in 5 adults (21%) accessing HIV care in the UK is over 50, more than 4 times the figure in 2001.
- People diagnosed late were ten times more likely to die within 1 year than those diagnosed before treatment was required.
- Over 2.1 million HIV tests were performed in England in 2010; most were within the STI clinic and antenatal settings. The uptake of HIV testing among those offered in these settings was 69% and 96% respectively.

Anime recommendation engine aNi-N-gin
My group recently started developing a system that is able through the data from MyAnimeList to output a list of suggested anime. Of course you need a MAL account for this.
I would be pleased if anyone wanted to try it, all it's needed is inputting a MAL nickname and it gives results. And give us some suggestions too if you find anything wrong or that could be made better.
Note that the algorithm refines the search every time a new nickname is added: the recommendations are based on the rankings people give to anime and it will search people with your same taste for then telling you what the people "of your kind" rate as real good. It's not just this simple actually, but it gives the idea.
As for now the database is pretty young, yet soon it will become far more precise than this.
Also, note that it can't recognize relationship between two seasons of the same series. And it can't read your mind, obviously.

Interesting, I was recommended a hentai title (have no hentai on my list). Secondly, recommending me Detective Conan OVA 7 does not help at all considering the fact that I have not watched the first series. Other than that, the other recommendations are shows I've been meaning to watch.

Unfortunately, I do not like any of the animes this generator has tried to suggest for me.
And even if it does suggest something for me that is good, it is suggesting things such as OVA's of series i already watched.

Would be also nice to be filter genre suggestions. In my list, there is about 125 shows, and 0 of them contain any mecha ( Or yaoi for that matter ). Yet, I got suggested three mecha shows and one yaoi ..Needless to say, if something, it should have suggested yuri and not yaoi -_-.

So he asks to buy my car. We agree on a price... and then the idiocy begins:
First, he can't get the money because the insurance company gave him a check and he doesn't have a bank account. He tries to get it cashed at a bank but they won't do it unless he opens an account. So I think in the end he had to take it to a check cashing place and pay a ridiculous fee to get his money.
Next: he gets the car, we sign the papers and I think everything is fine... until he calls me up and says that he can't afford to pay to register the vehicle and pay sales tax on it. He wants me to print him a fake receipt saying I sold him the car for $100 instead of $4000 so that he doesn't have to pay tax. I told him fuck it, I'll just help him eat the cost of tax, it's not that big a deal anyways.
The next day I get a call again. He can't drive the car because he doesn't even have a valid drivers license. He can't afford to get a license because he has outstanding warrants for unpaid tickets. Now he can't afford to pay for a license to drive the car.
Today, I get a call again. He says that he needs to get the money back for the car because he just can't drive and can't even afford gas money. He wants me to buy the car back (umm, go fuck yourself, thank you very much) and I told him no, just try to sell it yourself. He says he doesn't even have internet access because he can't afford it and can't afford to take out a classified ad anywhere either... So in the end I offered to help list it on free classifieds for him and just have people call him to deal with it, just to try to be nice.
Seriously... what the fuck is wrong with people? How can you be so stupid to spend literally every penny you have to buy a car and not even leave enough money for 1) Gas, 2) Title and plates, 3) a fucking drivers license, and 4) Internet? The only reason he even has food and shelter is because his parents took him back. He's my age at 27 and has a daughter, but spent every penny he had buying a car he can't remotely afford to have and now he's gonna take a big hit trying to sell it again. Fucking morons, goddamnit....

watching Penelope Cruz and Nicole Kidman squeeze into those tiny dresses at the Oscars, then The Biggest Loser, i was fired up to work off that hotdog i had for dinner. i don't mind that i'm all alone in the gym on a squeaky treadmill – it allows me to watch the Oscars again and gives me mind-blowing freedom to fart whenever i want and not look around confused, pretending it wasn't me.
i take back what i said, that guys who wear shades in clubs aren't cool. Djimon Hounsou's an exception. he's cool in my books, shades or no shades in the Kodak Theater, clothes on or off (yes, please), he's cool and he's haa.. haaa.. sssssss.. hawt. he took over Keanu on my List of Men to Stalk Then Marry after i saw him run like a dream in The Four Feathers. then i fell asleep halfway watching one of the feathers drop, waking up only when i heard his low, rumbling voice.
i love alpha males. primal, grunting cavemen with a club in one hand and a dead wild boar dripping in blood in the other. Djimon looks just like the kinda guy who can tell his woman to fuckin' shut up and sit down with a deep-throat grunt while he barbeques the wild boar. or in today's terms, drop takeaway Chinese on the countertop then have unimaginably wild, loud sex on the chaise longue that would blush many a neighbour's cheek.
i've got my own caveman at home so Djimon gets only two paragraphs of undying adoration (instead of two lengthy posts like i would have ten years ago) cos like Joy who visited last week says, "dali… you've changed."
me, changed? how?
we wouldn't have gotten into a discussion of how i've changed if not for the fact that both our asses were itching and Joy was especially keen to go clubbing.
"clubbing, Joy? here? but they all play techno disguised as house," as we'd witnessed at Trilogy, Madinat Jumeirah on House night. Trilogy rocks though, we can never have open air rooftop dance floors like that in Singapore cos it's too darn hot, too humid and the government would be too afraid to let its only natural resource, its youth, fling themselves off the rooftop when drunk because that is the activity of choice of any bored Singaporean on any given Friday night.
there are hip-hop and r & b nights, but you gotta be a night animal to know who's playing what and where when someone asks you out of the blue. i'm only a nocturnal beast who feasts through the night, guffawing at Ellen DeGeneres and don't fancy clubbing here (though everyone else you've heard from might have told ya how the partying here is absolutely fantastico) and i haven't memorised TimeOutDubai. her tour guide found out that it was hip-hop night at Boudoir and suggested we go there, except he insisted it was Budwaar when i'd spelled B-O-U-D-O-I-R. just to prove a point, he even wrote down Budwaar on a napkin and asked "and what is this?"
fine, Ali The All-Knowing and Great Speller, you win, Booodooowwaaaaar.
the music was excellent with the best hip-hop mix ever and definitely far too loud (our ears were still ringing two days after). but after an hour of subsisting on only ginger ales and rude clubbers, you do get annoyed. especially when five different people point to five different directions when you ask for the ladies'. i turned to Joy and said "i'm uncomfortable, i don't like it here."
i felt like i was out of my element.
"you've changed. i think it's married life."
"what! noooo, being married has got nothing to do with it."
i don't like people sticking hands across our faces, then laughing at Joy when she protests after it'd gone overboard. i don't like strangers taking pictures of Joy dancing like she's an Asian ho for hire. i don't like four men standing around just staring at us dancing. i don't like that we were packed like sardines and i only saw one way out.
i did like the wooden toilets though. and the chicks were mostly hot (till the lights came on at 0300) and friendly.
we left and went to a latin club next door, except it wasn't latin save for the one song the DJ slipped in between the other hip-hop numbers. there were 15 people in a place that could pack in at least 250 while Boudoir had packed 250 people in a place for 15. and i had a great time here. except for that guy who kept clinging on to us. Joy finally understood what i'd been talking about before when he kept asking for my number even after i'd divulged that my husband is a high-ranking member of the Yakuza.
before leaving, Joy declared something to the effect of "men here are pigs."
it's been heartwarming having Joy and her family in town. i shamelessly adopted them as my family and i'd been declared an anak pungut (literally, child picked off a street = adopted child). felt like a travel-again tourist in Dubai, even roamed through enormous malls in calf-high boots which is something i'd never do if i were shopping at the Mall of the Emirates on my own. but then again, Joy was able to remain upright most of the time on her 4″ wedges during the desert safari.
on the desert safari, i learnt the hard way that quadbiking is not for those afraid of heights and have hearts as small as chicken livers. but i've no regrets trying it out then flinging myself unwillingly and unglamorously off a toy on wheels in front of the cute tour guide.
i especially loved seeing stiff Singaporean Chinese men trying to bellydance in the middle of the desert.
we had such a blast that i was in high spirits all the way through, even till the last day when we hadn't showered in the morning to catch the 1200 checkout time. it was the first time i went out without showering and it felt like a dirty, little secret. when the tour guide from Singapore announced that the airport bus had arrived, i was still upbeat and walked everyone to the bus.
when i started crying unexpectedly as i hugged everybody, and kissed Joy 17 times while assuring her, "it's ok, it's (the mascara) waterproof", that's when i knew, dali, you're homesick.
it's time to go home.

The Curious Case Of Laurent Koscielny
More often than not, the sleepless nights are about the heartbreak, the disappointment, the anguish and the despair. They're about the anger and disgust for the punditocracy and the hacks who consider it open season on Arsenal.
You can almost taste the bile from the disdain and contempt in which Arsenal is held in the footballing media circles from Sly Sports to the BBC, from Talk Spite radio to the tabloids. There's a macabre-esque enjoyment of Arsenal's agony in every sense – and when we say it's a conspiracy, we're called paranoid.
Today though, there's so much to say and write about such an amazing day for the spirit of Arsenal football club. For that however, I'd like to encourage you to visit ACLF where my friend Yogi has written a wonderful piece that captures the emotion and captures the moment. As George our resident pedant puts it, for all the days of anguish that Yogi has kept our sanity, it's days like these that he deserves the stage to express the magic of the moment.
I have chosen today instead to focus on Arsenal's most influential unsung hero, Mr Laurent Koscielny. There's more than enough analysis all over the internet and the media of the now legendary shafting of the heathen horde at Stamford Bridge.
You see, the problem with the English football establishment is that there's a collective determination to exercise cultural incompetence of breath-taking magnitude. Take the lack of understanding of the fundamentals of football business and finance. English football is the only place on this planet where people still think it's OK to spend the GDP of most developing countries just to chase trophies.
It's either a brazen and reckless disregard of the laws of economics as they pertain to football, or spectacular incompetence from a collective that has the IQ of a fence post. It's the sort of culture that equates high spending to quality, notwithstanding the fact that the rationale for the market pricing is fundamentally flawed. How can it be justifiable for example for Andy Carroll to cost more in transfer fees than Thomas Vermaelen and David Silva combined.
So when the Arsenal scouting system pluck Laurent Koscielny from the wilderness of the French league, he is considered a pariah since he doesn't conform to the text book definition of a Premiership defender. It's almost like it's a crime that they don't know him so he can't be that good. Koscielny's not only fighting the PR battle against the football media and pundits, he's had to contend with undeserved criticism from Anti-Arsenal Arsenal supporters.
Yet this brilliant young man has something that a lot of defenders don't have. He is tenacious, dependable, perceptive and applies himself with finesse. He is a dogged defender with absolute class when it comes to the art of intercepting, one on one defending and recovery defending. He is exceptional in the air and excellent in working with the ball on the ground.
Koscielny is also silky in offence and has an uncanny ability to convert defence into attack with one touch football. A very confident player with the ball, he links up very well with the midfield and is perhaps one of the best ball playing defenders around.
The fact that people still talk about Arsenal needing quality defenders without paying Koscielny any respect for what he is currently doing is an insult of the highest order in my humble opinion. If Koscielny isn't one of the best defenders in the league, I don't know who is.
In yesterday's post match punditry by Sly Sports, the punk Jamie Redknapp had the audacity to suggest that Laurent Koscielny had now arrived after that performance against Chelsea. As I was reminded, Jamie was probably the only person in the country who didn't notice Lionel Messi in Koscielny's pocket when Arsenal beat Barcelona with panache in perhaps the greatest match of football ever played in an Arsenal stadium.
From the first game that Koscielny played at Anfield, it was so obvious that the boy oozed class. And I gather it's not just the class. I know a few female Gooners who are willing and ready to copulate with the guy and bear his children.
Granted, he has made some mistakes – but point out to me a defender in the league who walks on water. The media even hail Sideshow Bob at Chelsea as the second coming of defensive messiahs. That's David Luiz in case you're wondering who Sideshow Bob is.
If Luiz was that good – why the hell didn't he play to stop the horror show at Stamford Bridge yesterday. Even after they wax lyrical and go sycophantic about Luiz because he cost £24m while Koscielny cost a few bob according to them, you can't hide from the fact that Laurent Koscielny stands head and shoulders above the Brazilian defender. Everything they say about Luiz, you can say that about Koscielny with compound interest.
Let's not forget, Fernando Torres might as well have been sitting on the bench yesterday, that's how effective Koscielny was. He's done it to Messi, he's done it to Rooney and he's done it to Drogba – and folks still think of this guy like a step child from the wrong side of the rail tracks.
And yet, Gooners around the world are debating who will lose their place in central defence to accommodate the equally magnificent Thomas Vermaelen.
I think people are missing the point. The question is not who will partner Thomas Vermaelen in central defence. The more substantive question is out of Vermaelen, Mertesacker and Djourou, who will be Laurent Koscielny's preferred partner.
My sense is that Vermaelen and Koscielny will be Arsenal's first choice central defensive pairing, but if you take it that there will be suspensions and injury as well as the need for tactical changes to counter different opposition – there's enough games to go around for everyone.
The most exciting thing for me is that Koscielny, Vermaelen, Mertesacker and Djourou are either 25 or 26 years of age. The central defensive solutions at
Arsenal for the next 8 to 10 years are on solid ground, notwithstanding the fact that young shining lights like Ignasi Miquel and Kyle Bartley are on hand to complement the squad depth.

Arsenal's Sanity Will Pay In Europe
It's been an interesting few days going walk-about, and meeting new folks while working in what I'd describe as a "pulling-your-teeth-out-without-a-local-anaesthetic" type of economy. You know the kind of economy that demands that you bend over, grab your ankles and doesn't offer you the courtesy of using lubrication while shafting you in the most uncomfortable fashion.
"We're heading to the dog house", Joshua reminds all of us round the table discussing how best to stop our client from having to fold its tents and go to the wall.
To which I remind folks that whatever needs to be done should be done by Monday night so I can make my way back home. I have a very important
European engagement on Tuesday night with an organization in Germany that specializes in the kind of artistic expression I normally indulge in at the home of football.
"Since when was football an art", comes the retort from Steve across the table.
See, you have to forgive Steve. Not only does he have the personality of a puff adder, he resents that I call Wengerball and what Arsenal does as art. Personally, I think he's a closet United fan, but he pretends he doesn't give a hooting funt about football.
"Europe is fucked anyway. How long will they pretend the frigging elephant in the room is a hippo", Joshua eloquently brings some order to the table.
And it makes you think. Greece is way past staring at the abyss, and they're at the point where the abyss is smiling right back at them before it swallows the whole country into a very dark place. Ireland and Portugal like most other fairly mediocre economies were propelled by the smoke and mirrors of a European political plot hatched in Maastricht to create the United States of Europe. A plot which has back fired spectacularly with the impending collapse of whichever is the lesser of two evils, the Eurozone and its single currency, or the European Union in its current form.
The amazing thing is this though. The football establishment still thinks that everything is normal and that what is happening around them will not affect their existence. You only have to listen to the illiterate punditocracy jizzing and sycophanting about the amount of money being spent by a cabal of filthy rich individuals, or in the case of Manchester City, another country's sovereign wealth fund.
When talking about Everton, a club that pretty much has to ask Barclays Bank for permission to pay the bills – the solution offered is that they should go to the middle east and look for a sugar daddy because that's the only way to survive.
This kind of "chocolate tea pot" reasoning is what has contributed to a culture of recklessness when it comes to football finance. The expectation is that the only way of working through the challenges of the game is by spending money you don't even have to buy your way out of it. We're constantly told that "it's the way the world is now". Accept it or take the highway. If you don't have money, you can't compete.
The hacks get bemused when Arséne Wenger suggests that football is pretty much going to hit a cash crisis in the very near future. You can almost see their rolling eyes scream out "Wenger should just stick to managing Arsenal and buying the big name, big money players he needs to compete with City and United".
Mind you, Wenger is a guy who has a masters degree in economics, and it wouldn't be farfetched to suggest that he actually has a clue about what he says regarding the economy. As they famously say, the tide is coming, and only after it has left will we see those who've been swimming naked.
It's not even about the Financial Fair Play rules. Clubs will find loopholes around that. They won't be able to cheat the economy though. I hear people say that clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid or even the debt riddled Man United will never be allowed to fail. There's an Asian tycoon or Arab billionaire waiting in the wings to save them.
The thing is this though, it really doesn't matter how luxurious and state of the art your yacht is. It could be the world's most expensive and the world's most fanciful boat. If you don't have a lake or an ocean to prounce around in, then it's pretty useless.
If the economies of Spain and Italy collapse – and it's not beyond the realm of possibility – the super clubs in these countries will come tumbling down like a house of cards built on a foundation of smoke and mirrors. Ireland, Portugal and Greece are the proverbial warning signs and even though they represent a small percentage of the European economy, they're the biggest red flags in town.
Italy alone represents 23% of the European economy and it's pretty much unsavable by the patch up "rescue" packages being pushed around by Germany and France.
And people ask me why I love Arsenal so much. The answer – Arsenal is an oasis of sanity in an orgy of excess.
We get another opportunity to enjoy a new European adventure for the 14th consecutive season. We get to play a great team like Borussia Dortmund in an electric atmosphere.
And this is the thing to remember. Because of the foundations that Arsenal has built, we will continue to enjoy being at the high table of football for a very long time to come. While others figure out how to get out of their financial quagmire – well, they'll probably try find a sugar daddy – we'll be straddling the European landscape with our brand of scintillating and exciting football.
What more can you ask for?
Football, Racism, 40 Acres and the Regulation Mule
Last evening, there was a captivating debate on ACLF about the extent of racism in football. Yogi's joint has this eclectic mix of fascinating characters who occasionally take a spin outside football and indulge in profound discussions about politics, police states, the economy and many other colourful topics.
What struck me about the discussion yesterday was the level of understanding and ignorance in equal measure when it came to the reality of racism in football. It was a discussion triggered by the suggestion by former West Bromwich defender Brendan Batson that affirmative action was needed in
English football to open up opportunities in management for blacks and other ethnic minorities.
So, in the sporting world's rendition of General William Sherman's 1865 special field order No. 15, is it time for English football to start handing out the
"40 acres and the regulation mule" to managers of colour?
The redistribution of arable land to freed slaves was an effort to give them a chance to make a living in recognition of the clear disadvantage they already faced. Even as far back , that representation of affirmative action was deemed necessary to try and redress inequalities stemming from generations of slavery, despite its revocation after Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.
And here we are nearly 145 years later, and the "Rooney Rule" (nothing to do with that other one from Manchester) is seen as the only viable mechanism to break the establishment's stronghold on the status quo when it comes to the lack of black managers in football.
Racism, like with most other "isms" is an emotive subject on any given day, and one commonly misunderstood characteristic is how racism manifests itself. It doesn't have to be overt or explicit for it to exist. And in most cases, it is subconscious, subtle and hidden under the surface.
We've seen the numerous high profile initiatives and campaigns in football like "kick It Out" that in my opinion, are feeble and toothless PR exercises for the establishment to show that it is doing something. Only this week, the England football team were training with the "Kick it Out" bracelets to show the media and the world that they were sensitive to the racism experienced in Bulgaria during the fixture last week.
I know it's feeble and spineless because it's not nearly enough and not gutsy and deep enough to effect any changes. Footballing authorities are more interested in spending time witch-hunting banned managers for misdemeanours like sending signals to the bench from the stands via mobile phone, instead of tackling clear cases of racism.
It was only recently that Sergio Busquets of Barcelona blatantly abused an opponent with explicit racist slurs and FIFA and UEFA concluded that there wasn't enough evidence. Gil Grisham from CSI would have built a case against Busquets from the TV footage even without leaving his sofa.
But it isn't just the racism in the stands and terraces, and the racism on the field of play. When it comes to management, officiating, and the board room, the trend continues. It's shocking that out of the 92 registered association football members, only Chris Hughton at Birmingham and Chris Powell at
Charlton are black.
At the highest level of football, we've seen the likes of Paul Ince, Ruud Gullit and Jean Tigana take charge of top football clubs, but is that nearly enough?
I don't buy the argument that there aren't enough black or minority professionals capable of doing the job at the highest levels. The fact that not many are even pursuing the opportunities in management is symptomatic of the fact that they are not likely to get the chance to manage at a high level, even if they were extremely competent and capable.
Nobody's advocating for not giving the best man or woman the job. In an ideal world, the best candidate triumphs. But idealism and reality are two parallel universes. The reality is that the footballing establishment still live in the stone age and represent values and principles that are out of step with the modern world.
There's a lot of noises about change, and a lot of noises about inclusion and diversity. They say "but, can't you see how colourful the Premier league and the football leagues are? We have black, Asian and Hispanic players happily plying their trade alongside white folks".
The blunt truth is that despite the player diversity numbers, racism is still alive. It's taken a long time to get to where we are, but there are still tangible cases of racism towards players. My sense is that it got to a tipping point where it was impossible to ignore the talents of exceptional black players and that's the reason barriers started breaking.
Sweden in the summer of 1958 was probably not prepared for a black 17 year old Edson Arantes do Nascimento (Pele), but history will suggest that the world will never forget him. Pele spectacularly announced himself on the world stage despite the "hostile" conditions towards black players.
Much more work has to be done in other areas of football, whether in management and coaching, or in the board room. As much as the establishment might want to rationalize or justify what is happening or what initiatives have been put in place, not nearly enough is being done.
If we need to hand over footballing's equivalent of 40 acres and a mule, then it needs to happen. It's criminal that opportunities for minority professionals in a game of such a high percentage of minority players is almost non-existent.
This isn't about handing over jobs to disadvantaged folks for the sake of political correctness. It's about recognizing that we're not even starting from a level playing field and we have to do something drastic about it. It's about getting them to the table. Those who are good enough can take care of themselves from there.
Don't forget, we're getting into this tweeting thing now. Join me on Twitter.

We know that UFC 205 broke just about every record (except the PPV buys record), and records are meant to be broken. But, there's one insane metric that the UFC probably won't be able to top anytime soon.
#UFC205 had an astronomical 14 BILLION social media impressions. Billion. With a "B" (I know you're reading this but it must be emphasized).
Now, social "impressions" include, likes, retweets, shares, responses all pertaining to the biggest show in UFC... Nay, #MMA history. We've entered the big time, people. It feels good.
As Colin Herd and his compatriot Kristine Leahy point out — the Super Bowl only had 4.3 billion social media impressions. The Super Bowl! Granted, UFC 205 featured #ConorMcGregor, who had an entire country awake and watching his fight, along with the United States, whereas the Super Bowl is very much just a thing in North America, but holy crap.
Granted, Herd makes a low-blow on the #WWE for no discernible reason, but he has a point in the sense that the mainstream media has been sleeping on MMA for years. It took #RondaRousey and Conor McGregor to wake them up, and now we're here: in a new golden age of MMA.
Come on in, world. The water's warm.

Gabri admits Liverpool liking
By Tom Adams
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Ajax defender Gabri admits he would be keen to talk to Liverpool.
Ajax defender Gabri admits he would be keen to talk to Liverpool should Rafa Benitez make an approach over the summer.
The former Barcelona man has been linked with a move to Anfield when the transfer window opens as Benitez will have funds at his disposal following George Gillett and Tom Hicks' takeover at Anfield.
Gabri has only spent one season in Holland and was strongly linked with a possible move to the Premiership when his contract with Barca expired last summer.
Despite professing to enjoying life in the Dutch capital, Gabri admits the chance to join Liverpool would be difficult to ignore.
"I'd like Ajax to study the option if it finally arrives from Liverpool," Gabri is quoted in The Mirror.
"I'm very happy in Amsterdam but a club like Liverpool is attractive for any player.
"A Spanish club and some Spanish players would also be an influence."
However, Liverpool are yet to confirm their interest and have adequate resources at right-back having signed Alvaro Arbeloa to compete with Steve Finnan in January.

text: Hi TFI'ians Guess this is another thread on much discussed FIAT Linea 1.3 MJD Emo Pk. Well to introduce myself, Paul Eralil hailing for the Queen of the Arabian sea - Kochi. My family owned a the trusted M800 which we bought home in 2003 had done a lot job. With two teenage guys learning driving and testing the M800 to its limit. After taking all the hits of our adrenaline rushes, it was time for an upgrade and some responsible driving. Thats when the hunt for sedan started.. The usual prospects such as the Dzire,SX4, Hyundai verna, Ford Fiesta were shortlisted. I had some strict guidlines such as VFM car GOOD FE Cheap Spare Parts Good looks Trouble free Diesel engine which made the Ford & Verna take a backseat. During round 1 of evaluation never ever i had contemplated FIAT Linea. While i was waiting for the SX4 diesel to be launched, I had a casual discussion with one of my ex colleague who shortlisted and almost booked a Ritz ended up with a Punto.. Knowing him i probed on the reason for a switch to Punto and that was the turning point in my life. He gave me first hand info which were a revelations . He asked me to check out the T-BHP forum and On Checking out a Feature to Feature comparison on Carwale i had found my carmate to replace the tried and trusted workhorse. I TD the SX4 diesel and FIAT linea back to back and wooohoo FIAT was a stunner when compared to the Mediocre SX4. I fell in love with the linea on the TD and Concorde sales exe made the TD process very informative.. The Torque and handline was just impressive that i couldnt think of any other car.. I gave the report card to my dad who also did a TD of Fluidic Verna & Linea to be sure.. Though he was impressed with the Interiors of verna, I colluded him to agree on the Linea.. End we booked the linea in July and took the delivery in exactly 14 days time.. Overall service at Concorde was ok and we brought our new OIL BURNER home.. and boy we loved her so much that the 1st service was up in about 2 months time.. Thats a small intro on bringing home on new ride.. BOY oh BOY the journey so has been effortless without any complaints . A few pics to add colour to this post

The final day of SEC Media Days featured a some of the greatest the conference had to offer in the likes of Nick Saban, Les Miles, Mark Richt, A.J. McCarron and Aaron Murray. But the news of the day belonged to Justin Connolly as he announced the SEC Network will officially launch on Thursday, Aug. 21, 2014 at 7 p.m. EST.
"We are 399 days, nine hours and roughly 43 minutes away from the network launch," Connolly said this morning. "We will use every second of that time to create, build, rehearse and tinker in the pursuit of greatness. Our focus and mission remains consistent with what we outlined in Atlanta when we announced the network on May 2nd. We will bring the passion and excellence of the SEC on screen and serve fans anytime, anywhere."
Connolly went on to discuss specific details in which he called the three-pillars of the construction of the new network in content, distribution and engagement.
"The content pillar is broad and multi-layered," Connolly said. "This includes working collaboratively to schedule and produce content from studios and venues across the country. College triple-headers each Saturday will anchor the season from week-to-week. We will elevate those games with an on-campus presence and a two-hour on-site studio show from a different SEC location each weekend. Taking the network on the road throughout the fall will help enhance the connectivity with fans across the conference.
"In the distribution arena, success is the product of patience and persistence. Those are two virtues which are often in short supply. Patience is particularly difficult when the news cycle is momentary and we can keep tabs and keep score on an expedited or constant basis.
"The third pillar, or the special teams phase, is what I would call engagement. We must connect with the students, alumni, faculty, fans and partners to fuel the flames of SEC fandom in every corner of this country. There is a broad cross-section of current and future stakeholders, and we want to stoke their passion for the SEC."
Very eloquently stated, but, if you are like this guy, what the heck does all that mean?
In short, Connolly and his staff have a great deal of work to do to get this new network to the standards the SEC has on the field. He seems to have great focus and a fantastic vision, but Connolly knows for this network to be successful, they have to finalize the content so they can sell to distribute it to the point 500 million (excessive exaggeration: perhaps) crazed college football fans who are actively plugged in and providing sustainability. Right now, only AT&T UVerse and the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative have signed deals.
In the past 20 years, though, the SEC hasn't missed on anything. This is the biggest project they have taken on and you know all parties involved will do everything possible to make it a historic part of football, sports and entertainment.
Needless to say, the next 12 months should be very interesting and the 2014 edition of SEC Media Days will probably be in Charlotte, N.C., so all in the world can tour the headquarters of what could shape the broadcast of college football and college sports for the next generation.

Like a boss! 5 countries where the value of Indian rupee will make you feel richHere are the five countries where the value of Indian Rupee is high enough to save you a great deal.
New Delhi: Planning a trip to Shimla or Manali but your end-of-the-month bank balance is not allowing you to go? Well, there's an option even better that can give you an experience much better than any place in India.
What if we tell you that with the left-over cash in your account, you can enjoy a luxurious trip to a foreign land? Yes, that can happen!
An abroad visit doesn't always have to be to New York, London or LA. There are plenty of other beautiful and yet-to-be-explored places that have been awaiting travellers.
And the best part, some of them multiply your money as you reach there.
To break the long-standing myth that travelling to foreign countries will need you to have many lakhs, here are the five countries where the value of Indian Rupee is high enough to save you a great deal:
1. Vietnam: 1 INR = 338.35 Dong
Main attractions: Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, Cu Chi Tunnels, Hoan Kiem Lake, Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum.
Shark Jaw Building At Night
Hoan Kiem Lake
Hi Chi Minh City
2. Belarus: 1 INR = 216 Ruble

Lingfield Notre Dame or Caterham School(10 Posts)
Hi there, I'm looking at secondary schools for my DD, she is a bright all rounder, loves sport, drama, singing & dance, is strong academically but is mildly dyslexic and does best in a supportive environment with good pastoral care. Both Lingfield and Caterham would seem to cater for her and both convenient to reach from home, does anyone have children at either school any insight on dyslexic support and pastoral care? Caterham has a new Head & Deputy, are they making lots of changes? Lingfield, I wasn't sure about the Head, is he not really a people person? or maybe it was just me? Any advice would be great. TIA
The LND head made a lot of changes very quickly after a very established head and some of these have proved unpopular. Part of his remit was to give the school a more boy friendly atmosphere, build, up sports , extracurricular etc. He's been there 5 or so years now.
Caterham head is too recent to call , followed a very charismatic predecessor so has made few changes thus far and yet to make his mark. Day to day running is very much a team effort. Facilities are developing rapidly and you can see/feel where the difference in fees goes Imho.
Not just you, I thought the same, as did most of the parents in my DC class 😂. He's just very honest I think. In dc school Caterham is thought of as the more academic option and the entrance exams are meant to be more challenging. We certainly have children who do get a place at LND but not at Caterham. We found new head at Caterham a bit underwhelming as well but may be biding his time as previous poster said.
How much the head matters I don't know, I know children at both schools who are very happy.
Some of the girls who applied to these 2 schools in my DC year this year also applied to Dunotar school (under United Learning with Caterham) and are going there for the support side, might also be worth a look? (and very pleasant head)
Thanks for your responses LIZS and twofingersfinal, I've heard very good things about Dunottar, but Reigate is too far West for us and probably a bit too small a school for her. I'm really interested to know about the pastoral care at LND, I've heard quite a few pupils and teachers have left or are leaving, not sure if this is true? Also what the dyslexia support is like, do they teach in a dyslexia friendly way? The same for Caterham, I know families that are very happy there but their children are not dyslexic and so can't tell me how well they would support a bright, mildly dyslexic child.
Hi Mumsicle, my child used to be at Lingfield Norte dame school. mildly dyslexic, has a high IQ , loves sport, music, art, and drama . Initially we looked around the school many years ago when the previous headmistress was leading the school. At that time it was a caring , supportive school. The headmistress knew all the names of the children we saw as we toured the school. I mention this, as there is a frequent reference to the positive changes that the new head has made on social media. Extra sports focus for boys, Canterbury sports kit ( very expensive), thriving music, new 6th form centre. We were blindsided by the glossy changes the new head brought in, and a rather slick professional aura exuded . However, these are peripheral considerations compared to what you really need to look at. We went in with full ed psych report, which cited dyslexia, dyscalculia, slow writing speed , and organisational issues being areas of weakness with support needed. None of these were supported. There is only one senco, with poor communication of individual needs to teachers. Most teachers blatantly disregarded our child's needs , handing out endless detentions from the start for organisational issues , which was demotivating and stressful, not just for our child, but many others too. This led to a toxic combination, where self esteem tumbled, behaviour deteriorated due to a lack of respect for some teachers who seemed more content to label children (sometimes blurted out in class in front of other children too) rather than help them. The culture was more like an old fashioned failing school in the 70s. There was overt favouritism, little pastoral support , demotivating atmosphere, "lots of sticks and no carrots" a lot of serious social problems in the year group, with the consequences of endemic bullying/fights (pm me for more info) as a result of this toxic combination. Some of the best teachers who were there at the time have left. There are also some still there, but wonder how long they will stay if the current culture continues. ? There have been significant gaps in teaching (due to staff shortages) in GCSE syllabus and 6 form, which led me to wonder if staff retention problems could impact on our child academic progress at a critical time for her future? This leads into another consideration . I think that personality , vision and management of a school reflects the Heads leadership and personality. Communication with parents is weak overall, administration chaotic. Eg end of term 1 report was a total shock to us, no teacher had communicated with us, there was no support . When we tried to meet with the head to discuss problems etc, he was not interested on any occasion. I have heard similar reports from other parents too. The current head does not have an extensive education management background , which is significant, these tasks are delegated to others in the senior team. He has grown the school quickly, but has not grown or developed pastoral care , SEND, or creative subjects, which should be considered , as your daughter will benefit from a school which invests more in these areas. In my opinion, LND will push your child to aspire to A* s , but with no respect to their all round education, which should include emotional intelligence , self confidence and respect. I am sure there are many with children there who thrive academically, but most are not on Send profile or been there so long as not to be affected by the changes brought in during the last few years at the bottom of the senior school. I would suggest that you look elsewhere and don't believe the hype - a lot of LND leavers go to other local schools. The number of leavers from my child's year is now into double figures , we are not an isolated case.
Thanks Mrspolemical, that is very insightful and similar to another report I have heard about the SEN support at that school. It sounds like one to strike from the list. I'm sorry to hear your child has had such a tough time.
Hi mrspolemical...I'm on a tour of lnd later this week. My daughter is high functioning asd....am kinda put off now! Where did yours end up going?
My advice as a parent, look elsewhere!
The Head has no interest in the Children, just money. The other posts say it all. Avoid at all costs and that's from a parent who was there years. We know so many who were appallingly treated. We're glad to be out but it left us scarred.
Totally agree. The head was awful IMHO. We won't be going there.

Holy shit your text is ugly as hell. And there's WAY to much green.
You should try having more than 1 color as there is too much green, previously stated. Try working on your text also, and try to make it blend in, but not too much.

ATLANTA – Matt Ryan masterfully delivered the death blow, foiling the Baltimore Ravens' dramatic comeback attempt with one last painful cut executed with his scalpel of a right arm.
Ryan rolled out to his left and lobbed the game-winning touchdown pass to Roddy White in the final minute, capitalizing on cornerback Josh Wilson stumbling to the ground after being shoved to the ground during a controversial exchange with the Atlanta Falcons' star wide receiver.
Wilson was helpless to stop White from dashing into the end zone for a 33-yard touchdown as the Falcons finally put away a scrappy Ravens team that nearly erased a big deficit in the second half.
"This one is hard to take," offensive tackle Michael Oher said. "This one hurts the most."
The Ravens absorbed a heartbreaking 26-21 defeat despite three touchdown passes in the second half from quarterback Joe Flacco following an ineffectual start and an interception early in the third quarter.
Ryan improved to 18-1all-time at the Georgia Dome.
He outdueled his fellow rookie class member Flacco by completing 32 of 50 passes for 316 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions for a 101.8 passer rating.
"We let them off the hook," free safety Ed Reed said. "We let them off the hook."
A furious Wilson bashed his fists into the turf and lobbied an official for an offensive pass interference call to no avail.
"I just asked him if anything happened," Wilson said. "He didn't say nothing."
Ravens coach John Harbaugh declined to elaborate on what happened during the play where White appeared to push off and sent Wilson flailing to the ground.
"Yeah, I saw it," Harbaugh said. "I'm not going to give an opinion on it because I think all you guys saw it and can make your own opinion. We were fighting like crazy to try to cover him and try to get there and get him stopped."
Harbaugh also had no interest in discussing a 24-yard Ryan completion to wide receiver Michael Jenkins that was reviewed by instant replay with the catch upheld after officials determined that he got both feet in bounds.
Five plays later, Ryan won the game on his 52nd throw of the night.
"I'm not going to comment on that stuff," Harbaugh said. "They're in the booth and they do the best they can. They make the decisions they make and that's that."
Despite entering the game with a supposedly gimpy knee, White wound up catching a game-high 12 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns.
Flacco's nine-yard touchdown pass with just over one minute remaining in the fourth quarter staked the Ravens to their only lead of the game after falling behind 13-0 in the third quarter and 20-7 in the fourth quarter.
The Ravens' towering quarterback calmly uncorked a perfect strike to tight end Todd Heap over the middle for a brief lead.
Ryan immediately answered, though, with an outstanding drive of his own to put the game away. He marched the Falcons 80 yards in seven plays and 45 seconds to win the game.
"They did a good job," Flacco said. "Matt did a great job the whole game of leading those guys down. We left them a little too much time. We really came alive at the end."
The Ravens (6-3) fell to the Falcons (7-2) as they struggled in time of possession with Atlanta holding the ball for 35:09 to their 24:51.
Atlanta improved to 5-0 at home this season.
"It was a hard-fought game," Harbaugh said. "It was exciting to play against a playoff-caliber football team. I like the way our guys fought and fought back from a second half deficit. We're obviously disappointed with the outcome."
It was trademark poise from Flacco in the second half after a slow start.
He connected with Heap, Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason for touchdown passes.
"Obviously, we were excited," Flacco said. "Our emotions were pretty high when we scored."
The Ravens got off to a painfully slow start, though.
Dominating time of possession and the air behind Ryan's precision, the Falcons built a 10-0 halftime lead.
"We didn't have the ball a whole lot in the first half," Flacco said. "They did a good job finishing drives and keeping the ball away from us."
To the Ravens, it probably felt like a much larger margin.
They never even crossed midfield, playing the entire first half on their side of the 50-yard line.
"We had to fight an uphill battle," said Mason, who said he broke his surgically repaired right pinkie finger. "We have to start coming out and playing a little bit faster. Atlanta is a very good team and we can't get caught in situations like this anymore."
The Falcons gained a dozen first downs in the first half. Conversely, the Ravens could only manage four of their own.
The Falcons piled up 184 yards of total offense. The Ravens mustered only 76 yards in the first half.
It was Ryan who spearheaded the Falcons' cause. He carved up the Ravens' secondary, in the first half completing 20 of 28 passes for 160 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions for a 97.3 passer rating.
Flacco wasn't nearly as prolific or effective, completing 5 of 8 passes for 31 yards. He was rarely on the field, though, because of the Falcons' commanding time of possession advantage.
The Falcons held the football for a staggering 21 minutes and 14 seconds to the Ravens' eight minutes and 29 seconds. Although the Ravens shut down bruising Falcons running back Michael Turner as they limited him to only 39 yards on 17 carries, they had no answers for Ryan.
In the first half, he distributed the football to seven different receivers. Although White was questionable on the final injury report, he wound up catching six of seven passes thrown in his direction in the first half.
The Falcons struck first in the second quarter, marching 14 plays for 91 yards.
The Ravens looked dazed and confused during this sequence.
Backup running back Jason Snelling spun out of the backfield on a short pass route to the flat. He was all by himself as the Ravens neglected to cover him. Snelling hauled in a pass from Ryan and steamrolled through strong safety Dawan Landry.
It was an extremely poor effort by Landry. He went low to try to bring down Snelling, and got trucked as the former University of Virginia standout dragged him as he busted into the end zone.
"I didn't get a good wrap on him," Landry said.
The touchdown staked the Falcons to a 7-0 lead.
They weren't done, and the Ravens weren't done committing miscues.
Punt returner Lardarius Webb lost a fumble when Brian Finneran ripped it out of his hands and Coy Wire recovered. Inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbe was flagged for an illegal block, but the penalty was declined and the Falcons took possession.
"I fumbled, man," Webb said. "I played bad."
Although the Falcons didn't capitalize on this turnover, they did manage to score once more before the half ended.
With Ryan orchestrating the offense, the Falcons worked the clock and slowly got into prime scoring position with the drive boosted by a flagrant illegal contact penalty by Ellerbe when he grabbed tight end Tony Gonzalez's jersey.
Plus, Ryan scrambled for a first down.
Four plays later, Bryant connected on a 28-yard chip shot for Atlanta to go up 10-0 at halftime.
"I thought Matt played well," Harbaugh said. "I thought Joe matched him at the end there. That's going to be a team to be reckoned with for the rest of the season."
The Ravens endured some pain, too.
Middle linebacker Ray Lewis sprained his right foot on the first series of the game, but returned.
And Reed seemed to hurt his knee or leg when he landed awkwardly while trying to tackle Ryan in the first half.
"Yeah, I've been hobbled a bit ever since I returned to the game this year," said Reed, who underwent offseason hip surgery.
In particular, the Falcons were effective on third downs as they converted 12 of 20 of them.
Ryan made sound decisions and distributed the football where he needed it to go.
Sacked twice by outside linebacker Terrell Suggs, Ryan seemed immune to pressure as he orchestrated the no-huddle offense.
"We knew they would do that," Suggs said. "We adjusted to that and a lot of what they did, but we didn't do enough to win."
Flacco completed 22 of 34 passes for 215 yards, three touchdowns and one interception for a 99.5 passer rating.
He was picked off by cornerback Brent Grimes in the third quarter when he forced the ball into heavy coverage while trying to find T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
Flacco hadn't been intercepted in his previous 137 throws.
However, Flacco rebounded by completing 6 of 7 throws for 60 yards and capped a drive with a six-yard touchdown pass with 5:42 remaining in the fourth quarter.
"We really came alive at the end of the game, but it wasn't enough," Flacco said. "You think it's your game to have, and you think it's kind of over, but it didn't work out that way."
The game ended after Flacco hit Houshmandzadeh for a reception, but an attempt to lateral the ball was fumbled out of bounds.
The Ravens hadn't lost a game since an Oct. 17 overtime loss to the New England Patriots.
"This is one of those ones where you look at the film and you say, 'Look how bad we played and we were still right there with a good team,'" running back Ray Rice said. "We've just got to start faster."
Now, the Ravens will get the weekend off to regroup before getting ready for next week's road game against the Carolina Panthers.
"It's a devastating one," Heap said, "but it's not going to affect the morale of this team."

OATH Advances Roadmap for Open Strong AuthenticationEndorses two new Internet Drafts to be submitted to IETF (February 17, 2006)
The Portable Symmetric Key Container Internet draft defines a standard format for importing, exporting or provisioning symmetric key based credentials between different systems. With increasing use of symmetric key based authentication systems such as one time password (OTP) and challenge response systems this specification will promote vendor interoperability and enable customers to deploy best-of-breed solutions.
XKMS Provisioning of OATH Shared Secret Keys Internet draft specifies a means of bulk provisioning of symmetric keys (e.g. OATH credentials) between different systems. The specification can also be extended to support registration of symmetric keys for other cryptographic protocols. This protocol is primarily targeted towards bulk provisioning use cases that were outlined in the OATH Reference Architecture.
The following OATH members made significant contributions to these drafts:
- ActivIdentity
- Axalto
- BMC Software
- Diversinet
- PortWise
- VeriSign
Bank of America announced their satisfaction in OATH's rapid progress on its open and interoperable framework for strong authentication. The bank believes OATH's growing membership expands the range of convenient methods for authenticating Internet transactions based on consumer preferences and business requirements.
"Vendor lock-in is one of the key concerns for enterprises deploying strong authentication," said Siddharth Bajaj, Director of Advanced Products and Research at VeriSign and Chair of the Technology Focus Group for OATH. "We are excited at OATH to continue addressing this concern by delivering specifications identified in the OATH roadmap on schedule."
"By achieving its technology milestones, OATH stands as a growing and influential force in establishing specifications for an open-standards-based approach to strong authentication," said John Gunn, vice president of global marketing for Aladdin Knowledge Systems, an OATH member. "We're delighted to be a part of this industry-wide movement to make it simpler for enterprises and individuals to conduct secure online transactions and communications."
About the Initiative for Open AuTHentication
The Initiative for Open AuTHentication (OATH) is the industry's leading collaboration of device, platform and application companies, and end user customers of authentication technologies. OATH participants hope to foster use of strong authentication across networks, devices and applications. OATH participants work collectively to facilitate standards and build a reference architecture for open authentication while evangelizing the benefits of strong interoperable authentication in a networked world. As OATH grows, the organization is actively seeking feedback and technology contributions from end-user participants who share a common vision for open authentication technology and the products that provide this important measure of security.
OATH is dedicated to helping customers reduce the cost and complexity of deploying strong authentication within enterprises, and across the Internet. Since its formation, OATH's membership includes security industry leaders from token manufacturers, platform vendors, smartcard providers, and security services companies. End user companies are joining OATH to add their voice and ideas towards the goal of open authentication.
Some current OATH members include: ActivIdentity, Inc.; Aladdin Knowledge Systems; AOL; ARM; Assa Abloy ITG; Authenex, Inc.; Aventail Corporation; Axalto; BMC Software; CertiSign Digital; Checkpoint Software Technologies; Citrix Systems; Crypto Intelligence; Deepnet Technologies; Diamelle; Digital Persona; Discretix Technologies; Diversinet Corp.; DynaSig Corp.; Encentuate; Entrust Technologies, Inc.; Forum Systems, Inc.; Gemplus Corp; IBM; Identita; Identity Engines; Imprivata; iovation, Inc.; IronKey; Iteon; Juniper Networks, Inc.; K.K. Athena Smartcard Solutions; Livo Technologies SA; nCryptone; Passgo; Passlogix, Inc.; Phoenix Technologies Ltd.; PortWise, Inc.; RedCannon Security, Inc.; SafLink; SafeNet, Inc.; SanDisk; Signify; Smart Card Alliance; SPYRUS; TriCipher, Inc.; VASCO Data Security; VeriSign, Inc.; 41st Parameter; and Xelios Systems.
