Wests Tigers v Sea Eagles preview
3 hours ago | Tim Costello
Auckland, New Zealand - 11 October, 2010 - After seven hard fought rounds and games played all around the country, the NZRL's new National Competition is so tight that the finalists for all three competitions have been decided by points for and against.
The Albert Baskerville Trophy Premiers finalists are Auckland who finished on 12 points with five wins and a bye, and Counties Manukau with 10 points (four wins and a bye) and a positive point's differential of +90, just piping Wellington, who finished with 10 points and +88, by only +2 and the South Island who also finished on 10 points.
In the Mark Graham Cup 17s Counties Manukau finished first with 14 points (six wins and a bye) and the second finalist Auckland finished on 10 points (four wins and a bye) with a positive points differential of +110 ahead of Wellington also on 10 points but with a points differential of -4.
The Nathan Cayless Cup 15s completes the trifecta for Counties Manukau who have finished first in this competition with 14 points (six wins and bye) a perfect record going into the finals, playing Wellington Orcas who finished on 10 points (four wins and a bye) with +132 ahead of Auckland who finished on 10 points but with a differential of +78.
All three finals games will be played at Mt Smart Stadium on Sunday October 17:
11am Nathan Cayless Cup Counties Manukau 15s v Wellington Orcas 15s

Last August, I shared a list of companies that "re-domiciled" in other nations so they could escape America's punitive "worldwide" tax system.
This past April, I augmented that list with some commentary about whether Walgreen's might become a Swiss-based company.
And in May, I pontificated about Pfizer's effort to re-domicile in the United Kingdom.
Well, to paraphrase what Ronald Reagan said to Jimmy Carter in the 1980 presidential debate, here we go again.
Here's the opening few sentences from a report in the Wall Street Journal.
Medtronic Inc.'s agreement on Sunday to buy rival medical-device maker Covidien COV PLC for $42.9 billion is the latest in a wave of recent moves designed—at least in part—to sidestep U.S. corporate taxes. Covidien's U.S. headquarters are in Mansfield, Mass., where many of its executives are based. But officially it is domiciled in Ireland, which is known for having a relatively low tax rate: The main corporate rate in Ireland is 12.5%. In the U.S., home to Medtronic, the 35% tax rate is among the world's highest. Such so-called "tax inversion" deals have become increasingly popular, especially among health-care companies, many of which have ample cash abroad that would be taxed should they bring it back to the U.S.
It's not just Medtronic. Here are some passages from a story by Tax Analysts.
Teva Pharmaceuticals Inc. agreed to buy U.S. pharmaceutical company Labrys Biologics Inc. Teva, an Israeli-headquartered company, had an effective tax rate of 4 percent in 2013. In yet another pharma deal, Swiss company Roche has agreed to acquire U.S. company Genia Technologies Inc. Corporations are also taking other steps to shift valuable assets and businesses out of the U.S. On Tuesday the U.K. company Vodafone announced plans to move its center for product innovation and development from Silicon Valley to the U.K. The move likely means that revenue from intangibles developed in the future by the research and development center would be taxable primarily in the U.K., and not the U.S.
So how should we interpret these moves?

In a world of well-paid professional athletes, high-profile coaches and notable sports personalities, the selection of a college English professor as one of America's most influential sports educators might seem to be out of place.
In a world of well-paid professional athletes, high-profile coaches and notable sports personalities, the selection of a college English professor as one of America's most influential sports educators might seem to be out of place.
Not so according to the Institute for International Sport which has included Hope College emeritus English professor Jack Ridl on its first list of the 100 most influential sports educators in America.
"In America and in many other countries, we honor elite athletes, winning coaches, wealthy team owners and media moguls. We praise sports educators yet we really do not honor them in a manner befitting their admirable impact on society," said Don Doyle, executive director of the Institute for International Sport. "This project is aimed at honoring individuals and organizations who have creatively and effectively used sport in the very best way -- as a means to educate and shape positive values."
The organization said that during a three-year selection process it considered more than 1,500 nominations. The final list is a literal Who's Who in American sport, including Professor Ridl as "sports poet."
Ridl, who retired from fulltime teaching at Hope in 2006, has written dozens of sports-themed poems and essays that have been published broadly.
"I grew up a coach's kid. My father, Buzz Ridl, a Hall-of-Fame college basketball coach and college athletic director, taught me how to be a shortstop and a point guard. He also taught me how to see, how to watch a game - aesthetically. To this day I seldom care about the score (unless it's a Hope score). I enjoy the aesthetic experience of any game," Professor Ridl said.
"The life of a coach's kid is lived behind the scenes. One learns to observe, and it was this experience that led to my writing poems that focus on small town living through the lens of a basketball team. I've worked on these poems for most of my career, and just learned that a collection of them will soon be published by CavanKerry Press," he said.
"This recognition from the Institute for International Sport came as a wonderful surprise, one that I share with joy with my late father, who taught me about sport and about teaching. The Institute, under the direction of Daniel Doyle, has been a major force for good in the world of sports. I am thrilled to be standing in line with the other honorees, and I am ever grateful to Hope College's English department for its abiding support," Professor Ridl said.
Among the persons honored are tennis players Andre Agassi and Billie Jean King, NCAA executive director Myles Brand, sportscaster Bob Costas, former Notre Dame president Theodore Hesburgh, NBA coach Phil Jackson, Olympic track star Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, NBA players Alonzo Mourning and Bill Russell, Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, major leaguer Cal Ripken, Jr., Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summit, former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden and golfer Tiger Woods. Also recognized were 15 teams and organizations.
A graduate of Westminster College, Professor Ridl joined the Hope faculty in 1971 having never taught a day in his life.
As he formed his approach to teaching, he drew on experience. His noted that when coaching his father was a master at building on each player's strengths. His father's creativity as a coach was complemented by the wonderfully imaginative influence of his mother and a favorite cousin who was a circus man and introduced him to an imaginative world that continues to inspire him.
In a 1988 story in the publication "news from Hope College," Ridl noted that growing up in a home that emphasized athletics influenced both his discipline -- the kind that stems from sports drills -- and outlook. "It affected the way I perceive things because where a fan watches a sporting event and hopes to celebrate victory, I grew up with a lot of anxiety about the consequences if we lost; there wouldn't be bread on the table, the press would write about my dad, the phones would ring, and I might get beat up at recess," he said.
"Some people say 'You're a terribly depressing person.' It's nothing to commend myself for -- it's just because of that background I think I tend to be pretty sympathetic toward loss or anyone or anything that doesn't win. Poems are a way I can do something with the things I doubt I can do anything about."
Over his 35-year teaching career, Professor Ridl earned acclaim not only on the Hope campus, but well beyond as both a poet and a teacher.
He is the author of several collections of poetry. His collection "Against Elegies" was chosen by U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins as the winner of the 2001 "Letterpress Chapbook Competition" sponsored by the Center for Book Arts of New York City. He has published more than 300 poems in journals and has work included in numerous anthologies. He is also co-author of two textbooks.
In 1996 he was named Michigan Professor of the Year by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education. The honors echoed the sentiment of Hope's students, who had presented him with the Hope Outstanding Professor Educator (H.O.P.E.) award in 1976 and had chosen him as Commencement speaker in 1975 and 1986. The student body elected him the recipients of the "Favorite Faculty/Staff Member" award in 2003. The college's Visiting Writers Series, which he co-founded in 1982 with his wife Julie Garlinghouse Ridl, was named in his honor in 2006.

Story highlights
- ChatPerf attaches to mobile devices and can be triggered to emit odors
- Smell-O-Vision was used in movie theaters in 1960
- Developers hope to make it available in the fall
We just can't leave well-enough alone.
In 1960, the movie "Scent of Mystery" opened in theaters, marking the first and only official attempt at Smell-O-Vision, in which strategic odors were emitted during the film from little pipes near the seats.
At the time, it was big thinking and an interesting draw for moviegoers, sort of like the collective asthma attack everyone developed a few years ago for modern 3-D. Which I think most of us will now agree is more trouble than it's worth.
Like wearing pants.
Before Smell-O-Vision, other motion pictures had unsuccessfully tried to use aromas in disjointed and haphazard ways. But in "Scent of Mystery," new, specific patented technology was developed to actually drive the plot. And that hadn't been done before.
Fortunately, the storyline had nothing to do with Peter Lorre getting sick from bad oysters. Though the reviews might've been interesting.
"I liked it up until the 30-minute bathroom scene. Two stars."
"Scent of Mystery" was eventually de-odorized and retitled "Holiday in Spain," at which point Smell-O-Vision was neatly tucked away in the vault of American bad ideas.
It now shares that space with game footage from the XFL.
But more than 60 years later, a startup company in Japan is bringing back the Smell-O-Vision concept for a smaller screen. Specifically, the one on your phone.
Sexting just got way more interesting.
They call this thing ChatPerf, and it's a thumb-drive-sized atomizer that plugs into your mobile device so it can be triggered to release specific odors on command. However, the major design limitation is that it can release only one specific fragrance from whatever scent tank you happen to have inserted into the atomizer.
So God help you if you suddenly want to smell "Summer Flowers" but accidentally left the house with "Larry the Cable Guy Doing Situps."
Holding but one fragrance tank at a time definitely steals some of the potential fun, for it also seems unlikely that you could remotely sneak attack a friend who's on a first date, digitally wafting his table with the putrid stink of rotten eggs.
Not that it would necessarily change things.
"Um, Jarrett, did you just pass gas?"
"Yes. Yes, I did."
Naturally, this new little gizmo is still in development, but they hope to have it out in markets by the fall for both iPhone and Android. Which, sadly, will be months too late for strategically teaming up with Bonnaroo so tech-savvy music fans can olfactorily brag to everyone back home with the familiar summer festival smell of a hot Port-O-John.
"Sounds like Heather is having fun."
"Don't you mean smells like Heather is having fun?"
"Ha ha ha! Yes. We have indoor plumbing."
But the sky seems to be the limit for ChatPerf, so long as we agree that the sky is rather low and remarkably pointless. That said, the company is being smart and releasing a software development kit to encourage outsiders to hack away at new, creative uses for different smells.
So, you never know. Perhaps there's hope for something interesting. I just can't think of what that might be.
Nevertheless, Team ChatPerf thinks there are possibilities ranging from the pleasant to the completely absurd. For instance, they excitedly ponder the possibility of concert venues handing out tanks of sweat for fans to truly experience the closeness of their favorite performer on stage.
Clearly, they've never been to a Meatloaf concert.
One somewhat practical application, they say, might also be for game play, where, say, a shooting game could be programmed to release the smell of gunpowder. Or a driving game might enhance the experience with burning rubber.
Come to think of it, maybe even World of Warcraft could be designed to smell like your mom's basement. You know, just in case you happen to emerge from the darkness to play the game somewhere else.
Not that you'd want to.
At least it has indoor plumbing.

State Of The Union: What The Minnesota Twins Must Do To Compete in 2013
Friday December 14, 2012
Kyle Holland (MLB Reports intern): Follow @TheKHolland13
The last few years for the Minnesota Twins had been nothing more than atrocious. They have finished in last place in the AL Central both of the past two season finishing 63-99 and 66-96 respectively. The 2011 season was highly disappointing due to the fact the Twins finished first in 2010. They didn't have Mauer for a good portion of 2011 due to injury so they were hoping for a strong comeback in 2012. He did not disappoint making the All-Star Game in 2012 and finished with one of the top Avgs in the American League. Justin Morneau played the majority of the season and is starting to come around offensively. While the team can't count on him putting up AL MVP numbers again, he should be average amongst American League First Basemen.
So what exactly do the Twins need to do to get back to their success in the last decade prior to 2011? The simple answer to this question is pitching.
Their starting pitching last summer was less than average. They finished 29th in the majors in with a 5.40 ERA. Their 75 Losses were one-off of the league worst of 76 . Finally, they had the least amount of Strikeouts in the Majors with only 541. They cannot expect to win games with this terrible pitching that goes on all season long.
Even with this pitching, they do have some light at the end of the tunnel. Left-handed rookie Scott Diamond. Diamond has only pitched in 34 games, 27 of which were in 2012. He finished his 2012 campaign with a team leading 12 Wins and 9 Losses. He also led the team in ERA at 3.54. This kid is only 26 Years Old so he has a bright future ahead of him.
The Twins are without a doubt going to need to acquire free agent pitching. Some options include Kyle Lohse and Edwin Jackson. First let's take a look at the former Twin. Lohse finished 2012 with a very impressive 16-3 record. That was along with his career best 2.86 ERA. He was arguably the ace on a St. Louis Cardinals team that was one win away from the World Series.
The next pitcher the Twins should take a look at is right-handed starter Jackson. He didn't have his best year in 2012 finishing at 10-11 with a 4.03 ERA. He had indeed proved he can pitch with the best of them the last few years, including an All-Star Game appearance in 2010. He doesn't look like he will be resigning with Washington, so the Twins should seriously consider making a bid for the guy.
Right now the Twins starting rotation is going to consist of a lot of rookies. Diamond will be solid, but the other two: Liam Hendriks and Cole De Vries don't have much Major League experience. Combined, these pitchers only have 70 big league starts, 34 of them coming from Diamond alone. Hendriks hasn't done anything good in the Majors with a career record of 1-10 in 20 starts. De Vries has started 16 games and has a 5-5 record with a 4.11 ERA. The Twins will be looking at the same type of season as last year if they don't add some more pitchers.
One of the Twins top prospects, Kyle Gibson will unlikely be available in 2013. He is recovering from Tommy John surgery so he will be a long shot. He may be available at some point but the team can't bank on him
The Twins definitely have potential in 2013 to be a good team but the front office will need to make some serious decisions. Whether it be trades to acquire some pitching or just dipping into the Free Agent pool pitching–is the number one necessity. It will be tough in the same division as the Indians, who just acquired Trevor Bauer, and the Royals who are looking to have their best year in a while next year, but doable. This offseason is going to be a big one for the Twins if they want to make a push next year and more years to come.

So let me tell you about my last bit of work experience - if you've already been enjoying Beulah Garner's Beetle blog, you'll know that recently she and her fellow coleopterists went on a trip to Borneo. For the sake of completeness, I should point out that the Borneo team for the trip also had a lepidopterist on board. And that was me! Hence, in the company of three beetle zealots that go by the name of Beulah the blaps, Max the Macrodonta and Howard the Temerarious, I thought I'd be up for a challenging field work experience.
Alessandro, Max, Howard, and Beulah socializing and relaxing in Kota Kinabalu, before the hard work begins.
Despite being a moth curator, I can't resist showing a picture portraying myself with a beautiful newly emerged Troides amphrysus, a papilionid butterfly.
And here I am again, this time face to face with a handsome hawkmoth (Daphnis hypothous).
Once in the field the four of us did a great deal of sniffing, inspecting and probing, trying to ascertain each others' intentions; and after our exigencies and flaws had been determined we recognized where each of us stood and accepted our echelons.
And so began our fieldwork experience which, apart from the rare squabbles caused by blunt episodes of trespassing in our private boundaries, turned out to be a rather successful one. After all we were there with a common aim that could have only been achieved with a team effort and we certainly had the enthusiasm to go with it.
Our first supper at the camp. Little did we know that from that day onwards, rice was to be the fundamental ingredient of all our meals, breakfast included…not to mention the questionable rice wine.
The aim of this trip was to collect insects from an area near the western edge of the Crocker Range, in the Sabah region of Borneo, an area not well represented in our Museum collections; all in order to expand our knowledge of the world's biodiversity.
Our base was at ca. 1,200 metres above sea level and we had amazing views of the surrounding valleys and mountains.
Further in the distance the impressive 4,095 metre high Mount Kinabalu seemed to keep a constant vigil on our camp.
Different sampling methods are used to collect different groups of insects, and during this trip we employed a good range of them. We set up 7 malaise traps and 7 flight interceptor traps (FIT) in selected sites of the forest around the camp, to collect flying insects such as beetles, flies and Hymenoptera (bees and wasps).
Putting up flight interceptor and malaise traps, and digging for victory (or was it for dung traps?).
We gathered leaf litter, dead wood and other organic material, such as figs, Asplenium ferns and bracket fungi, and sampled them separately in Winkler bags or by hand; we filled buckets with rotting fish, fermented fruits and dung (I won't tell you whose it was) to attract beetles and other unfussy insects. We regularly went for long walks in nearby areas to collect insects by sweeping with nets.
On one of our long walks collecting insects by netting. We were often also sampling for insects in different types of organic material.
Some days the field work was so exhausting that even the experienced and indefatigable amongst us had to take a nap.
And as if that wasn't enough, every day after having being mesmerized by yet another magnificent and unique sunset, we would turn on our light traps (4 of them to be precise) and spend hours checking each of them in turn, collecting whatever we thought was worth recording.
Every evening the sky and landscape around the camp would become the backdrop to breathtaking and exclusive sunsets.
Can photographing sunsets every evening, have disturbing consequences on people's size?
Sorry if I haven't talked much about lepidopterans in this post, but I thought it was important to give a little introduction before getting down to business. So if you enjoyed reading this make sure you don't miss my next entry where I will actually feature some lepidopterans and talk about catching moths in Borneo.
But ... just to wet your appetite...
Large - and beautiful - Atlas moths were regular visitors at our moth traps. This is Archaeoattacus staudingeri, a relative of the more common Attacus atlas, found in Borneo and other areas of the Sundaland region.

Luke (Josh Peck, "Drake and Josh") is a hip-hop loving marijuana dealer working the sweltering streets of New York the summer of his high school graduation. One of his best customers is Dr. Squires (Ben Kingsley), a therapist who trades couch time for Luke's drugs. The two become unlikely friends, with both men unable to process their failing lives and distressed familial situations. When Luke falls for Squires's step-daughter Stephanie (Olivia Thirlby, "Juno"), he finds the rewarding sexual relationship he's been desperate for, but there's a price to be paid for such lust, leaving Luke and Dr. Squires at a loss over how to process such devastating heartache.
"The Wackness" unfolds with a warm hip-hop glow, using classics of the early-1990s to power the film with a light thump of infectious groove, from the likes of titans A Tribe Called Quest and Notorious B.I.G. It's the first and last significant characteristic of the picture.
A coming-of-age story explored through a haze of substance abuse and relationship humiliation, "Wackness" isn't offering the viewer a fresh take on the forlorn soul. Instead, writer/director Jonathan Levine rumbles through a checklist of dramatic formula, hoping to loop the film on a fiercely underlined retro angle to sneak the clichés through. Sure, it's of some passing interest to see a world dominated by NES cleaning techniques and "Forrest Gump" posters, but the setting only seems to hide the film's shortcomings. Can't quite figure out Luke's motivations? Well, here's a Kurt Cobain mention to keep you involved!
That's not to suggest "Wackness" is the "Wedding Singer." Levine is aiming for a more soulful edge to his picture, taking care with Luke's fragile emotional outreach and contrasting his ache with the hardened streetwise exterior. Luke is not a likeable character, but he doesn't have to be. The rub comes with Levine's screenwriting, which doesn't know where to take the character beyond the obvious. He's a loutish teenager dealing with hard-ons, poor parenting, and the baffling behavior of his makeshift mentor (and their confessional relationship), but Levine doesn't massage enough convincing angst out of the personal chaos. Peck's performance is appropriately wet-lipped, grease-haired, and slang-rich, but it never adds up to psychological totality. Perhaps Levine is coasting on the universal sensation of youthful heartbreak, but "Wackness" needed a stronger anchor for a lead character, not a person intended to elicit sympathy but requiring a major slap across the mouth.
While Levine works his film-school-grade visual quirks out (Spike Lee should call his lawyer), the story of "Wackness" is left in a messy bundle. Interesting opportunities are presented with Luke's growing vulnerability, his romantic fumble with Stephanie, and his self-medicating partnership with Dr. Squires, and the only way Levine elects to deal with his provocative plotting is to drown them in chemically-enhanced melodrama. By the film's conclusion, it appears "The Wackness" is appropriately titled.

22 July 2011
Associate Prof Matthew Hindson AM, Chair of Composition at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, is delighted by the number and variety of recent successes that he has to report for the whole range of Con composers: students, alumni and faculty members are having their new music performed all over the world.
"The full range of students, from initial undergraduates to postgraduates, are making their marks internationally", said Assoc. Prof. Hindson. "They're going from strength to strength with the quality of their music and the innovation of their output."
Two of the most recent success stories come from young composers near the start of their studies. First year composer Virginia Bothais one of 15 international composers selected as part of the '15 minutes of fame' series, performed by clarinettist Bruce Curlette in New York on 30 Oct, 2011.
Second year undergraduate composition student Anastasia Pahosis one of the two winners of the 2012 WomenSing Inspiring Youth Composition Competition, an international competition run in the USA. Anastasia's new work will be premiered in 2012 in California.
Other undergraduates, Lachlan Hughes(3rd year) and Owen Salome(4th year) have also been selected for the Halcyon First Stones Project, in which they will write music for the vocal group "Halcyon" with instrumental ensemble. This is a nationally competitive programme in which 15 composers from around Australia were selected as part of a year-long development campaign, helping young composers write for professional quality established musicians at the highest level.
A relative newcomer to the Sydney Conservatorium, Tasmanian Sophie Spargo(4th year) recently won a grant from the Foundation for Young Australians to present a concert of her music at the Sydney Opera House on 15 October, and in this concert she will be including the works of other student composers of the SCM.
Postgraduate and recent graduate composers are also meeting the high levels of success of their undergraduate peers. These include Alex Pozniak, about to graduate with his Master of Music degree, who won one of the APRA Professional Development Awards for 2011. Fellow composer and shakuhachi virtuoso Lachlan Skipworthwas recently awarded a Churchill Fellowship as well as an Australia Council Skills and Arts Development Grant to work with renowned New York ensemble, Bang on a Can. Versatile jazz musician and composer Jeremy Rosehas just returned from a three week period at The Banff Centre, Canada, working with some of the biggest names in jazz, courtesy of a PPCA Award.
It is an exceptionally strong year for Con composition students, who are following in the footsteps of their teachers and predecessors: Assoc Prof Hindsonis writing a ballet for the Birmingham Royal Ballet for 2012, Prof Anne Boydand Dr. Michael Smetaninare both writing operas and Dr. Trevor Pearceis adding the finishing touches to a Violin Concerto for premiere in September. Dr. Damien Ricketsonis about to tour his ensemble, Ensemble Offspring, to Hong Kong, Macau and Shanghai, presenting his music in festivals and arts events.
Dean & Principal, Professor Kim Walker, commented: "All this good news is a great credit to Matthew and his fantastic team of composition teachers and students. Once again, the Sydney Conservatorium of Music is leading the way in creating and performing the new music of the twenty-first century."

After the looser, freer-form excursions of 2010's "Mojo," Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers have tightened the screws considerably on "Hypnotic Eye."
The Gainesville, Fla., outfit's 16th album (counting Petty solo discs) returns to more concise songs and arrangements, a strategy that suits the band well.
"Hypnotic Eye" is as solid and durable as the band itself, hitting its marks with consistency, lacking only that one killer song, the knockout punch, to put it over the top.
"Forgotten Man" comes closest to being that song. It's a terse, tough rocker underpinned by its reverbed Bo Diddley guitar riffs and highlighted by a brief, howling solo.
"Burnt Out Town" sounds like a more world-weary sequel to "A One Story Town" from 1982's "Long After Dark" album. With lyrics like: "This is a burnout town/The city fathers have come to blows!" Petty sputters in his best Dylan-esque yelps as he outlines the kind of civic corruption and moral entropy that will sound familiar to followers of outrages such as the city of Bell civic scandal.
"Fault Lines" uses seismology metaphors to chronicle its narrator's nonspecific unease, which spills out over a tense, atmospheric arrangement adorned with jazz-influenced passages.
Not everything sounds that creative. "Power Drunk" resembles the Petty classic "Breakdown" in structure and classic rock feel, while the predictable tempos on "U Get Me High" (an older song finding its first official release here) come dangerously close to plodding.
The extended closing track, "Shadow People," also is derivative, borrowing its general concept and structure from the Doors' "Riders on the Storm," but the lengthy mood piece works well anyway. Swirling organ passages, tempo shifts and sterling fretwork from the Heartbreakers' own MVP, lead guitarist Mike Campbell, keep the track vital and intriguing to the end.
"Hypnotic Eye" may not contain many surprises, but Petty and company deserve props for continuing to breathe life into well-worn rock music archetypes. There's still a little magic in this durable crew yet.
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers will appear with guest Steve Winwood at the Honda Center in Anaheim on Oct. 7, and at the Forum in Inglewood on Oct. 10. But if you need more instant gratification, gas up the car and start driving south right now; the band opens its tour tonight at Viejas Arena in San Diego.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Chicago's Josh McCown threw for four touchdowns and ran for another Monday, staking the Bears over Dallas 45-28 for a share of the NFC North lead.
McCown had a career night while making a fourth straight start for the injured Jay Cutler, completing 27-of-36 passes for 348 yards without an interception.
He found Alshon Jeffery, Matt Forte, Earl Bennett and Michael Bush on TD tosses for the Bears (7-6), who rattled off 28 unanswered points to put the game away.
Forte racked up 175 total yards (102 rushing, 73 receiving) as Chicago broke a two-game losing streak and matched Detroit atop the division standings.
The Lions, however, hold the tiebreaker with two wins over Chicago.
The Cowboys (7-6) got three touchdown passes from Tony Romo but it wasn't enough to extend their two-game winning streak. They fell one game behind NFC East-leading Philadelphia.
Romo completed 11-for-20 passes for 104 yards without a turnover.

So you seem to be saying that anyone who agrees with an opinion of a person like Stewart is just doing it because they agree with everything he says. Not that they've developed that opinion on their own, like you have?

A study conducted by KPMG last fall found that a growing number of consumers are leery of breaches and the loss of data privacy. As Forbes stated:
More than a quarter (27%) of the 1,400 U.S. consumers surveyed in November by KPMG said they would only shop at a store that previously experienced a cyber attack if they could not find the product elsewhere — with 8% refusing to shop at these stores at all.
Consumers have a reason to be concerned. Last holiday shopping season, IBM revealed that attacks against retailers are growing more sophisticated and targeted, which means that while there may be fewer attacks overall, they are gathering just as much or more data.
As we approach the 2015 holiday shopping season, it is up to retailers to do everything they can to protect their customers' data privacy. It's not an easy task, as Joe Schorr, director of advanced security solutions with Bomgar, stated in an email comment:
"Retail organizations are one of the most attractive targets for data theft due to the massive amounts of credit card information they process. Tools that allow IT departments or even outside vendors to remotely access and fix manned and unmanned systems are imperative in retail, but they're also one of the retail industry's biggest security weaknesses. Hackers are constantly looking to exploit unsecure remote access methods that turn them from outside attackers to privileged insiders and gain access to sensitive data and systems."
In this slideshow, Sue Marquette Poremba has outlined a few issues experts recommend online retailers consider before we hit the busy shopping season to better ensure their security is running smoothly.

LA-based Brooks + Scarpa (formerly Pugh + Scarpa) and local practice Clearscapes last week celebrated the official opening of Raleigh Contemporary Art Museum (CAM), toasting the transformation of a quirky redbrick volume in the city's Historic Depot District.
The building's legacy stretches back to 1910 when it was constructed for the Allen Forge & Welding Company; it was extended for grocers The Brogden Produce Company in 1927, during which time a railroad spur was installed linking the facility to a nearby station to ensure the smooth transfer of perishable goods. This lasting reminder is still intact to this day.
The collaborating practices have altered this hardwearing volume with a folded external fin, creating a welcoming porchway which extends into a tasteful sculpture garden. This new roofing system dramatically alters the look and feel of the complex, tailoring its classic form to the needs of a Contemporary Art Museum whilst retaining the eccentric characteristics so intrinsic to its story.
In bringing the historic building up to date, much thought has gone into retaining many of its existing features. The designers explain: "Located on the east side of the existing building, the lobby is a modern re-interpretation of the old loading dock, moving people, goods and art deep into the central core of the main exhibition space.
"This asymmetrical cross axis was created to juxtapose and complement the symmetry of the old historic building. The two buildings collapse together and fuse into one structure. Old and new become one. The space provokes a kind of indelible wonder while still affording traditional values to the people who visit."
Tall ceilings provide a dramatic backdrop for the works in the Main Gallery, within which original metal trusses remain exposed and a new ventilation and heating system has been installed for the comfort of visitors and protection of artistic works. These elevated ceilings also enable large volumes of natural light to illuminate the interior space, as sunlight penetrates through an original lunette window and into a new basement gallery.
CAM's Director of Development, Rosemary Wyche furthers: "We have three galleries. The Main Gallery is our largest and can accommodate 499 people for a variety of events. A second gallery, the Street Gallery, appropriate named for its proximity to West Martin Street, is located adjacent to the Main Gallery but separated by the international slot cut in the concrete floor to create a deep trench to expose the basement level to the Main Gallery.
"The Street Gallery is accessible by a glass and metal bridge spanning the trench, providing views down into the third gallery below. This allows the basement, traditionally separated from the upper levels, to be visually fused into the gallery space above."

The Dice Are Trying to Kill Me
You've Got to Know When to Walk Away, Know When to Take a Double-Move Action
You think dice get tired of staring at the inside of a Crown Royal bag? Sure, they're random number generators, but they're not RANDOM random number generators. They're YOUR random number generators. You take care of your dice; the dice take care of you.
Table-top gamers tend to be a superstitious bunch. Maybe it goes hand in hand with the in-game proof that praying to the god of your choice can make your arrow fly more accurately. Or maybe it's the result of a chemical compound produced in the gourmet gestalt of Cheetos and Mountain Dew. Whatever it is, we definitely have our rituals and eccentricities. One of the ThinkGeek Monkeys was in a group once in which one of the players would begin rolling before the game started, declaring he was "getting all the bad rolls out." Another would chide him because he was "wasting all his good rolls."
But we all feel there's something more to the dice than just random chance. When the dice control life and death, they become imbued with powers beyond stochastic phenomena. We've all had The Good Dice and The Bad Dice. This shirt memorializes that horrific night everyone has had when your dice were out to get you. You'll roll a critical failure, or worse, a nearly critical failure, manage to hit, and then do so little damage you actually *heal* the enemy, because laughter has healing properties and the enemy can't stop laughing at your feeble attempts. And then, when the enemy's turn comes around, it involves a save-or-suffer-horrible-consequences effect, and you fail your saving throw. Because that's just how we roll. Sometimes. Unfortunately.

When the FCC first announced its proposed net neutrality rules, the agency received one letter after another explaining either why net neutrality was a must for the U.S. or why it would destroy innovation and investment in the Internet. Even President Obama weighed in on the matter.
But why should you care what the politicians finally decide? The final decision will determine what role the Internet plays in the evolution of business and technology and who has control of that process in the long run.
In this slideshow, Lora Bentley draws the answers to basic questions on net neutrality from IT Business Edge coverage of the issues.

"North Carolina growers should not manage for average corn yields, because 'average' is not profitable," says North Carolina State University Corn Specialist Ronnie Heiniger.
Speaking at the recent North Carolina Corn Producers Association meeting, Heiniger says there are five basic keys to managing a corn crop for high yields.
First, he says is to select high yielding hybrid varieties that have a history of high, uniform stands and yield stress tolerance. Heiniger points out that 70 corn growers in North Carolina were recognized at the annual meeting for producing 200 bushels or more per acre and that one consistent variable among their production practices was use of proven varieties.
After selecting the optimum variety, it is critical to plant enough seed to get an optimum stand without wasting money on over-seeding. Seed cost is a variable often not managed well by corn growers, Heiniger contends.
Though many production factors influence precise seeding rates, in statewide testing on sandy soils, the optimum seeding rate was 40,000 seed per acre. On heavier soils with more organic matter, 35,000 seed per acre provided maximum yields, Heiniger explains.
Depending on soil dynamics and other factors, growers can adjust precise rates up or down from these average rates, Heiniger points out. In 2005, the state yield champion, Hardy Farms planted 35,000 seed per acre and runner up, Justin Carter planted 24,000 seed per acre. Row spacing 30-inch versus 20-inch for the top producer is one factor accounting for the difference in seeding rates.
A simple thing like planter calibration can play a bigger role in reaching yield potential than most growers think, Heiniger contends. "Calibrating the seeder correctly is simple and doesn't take a lot of time, but not paying attention to this detail can be the limiting factor in reaching 200 bushel per acre yields, the North Carolina corn specialist stresses.
The optimum seed spacing for 30-inch rows is six inches, he notes. Research, he explains, demonstrates that every one inch variation from the standard deviation caused a five bushel per acre drop in yield in field testing in 2005. "When you see a corn field with some plants bunched together and others with wide plant spacings, it's easy to see how a grower can lose 35-40 bushels per acre just from poor planter calibration, clogging or other mechanical problems that can easily be avoided," Heiniger stresses.
Quick exploitation of the vertical root system is another of the keys to producing 200 bushel per acre corn, Heiniger contends. In addition to the cost of yield reductions, the high cost of fertilizer makes it doubly important for growers to choose the optimum starter fertilizer that gives corn plants the best chance to establish a strong root system, according to Heiniger.
Proper fertilization is the last key, though it directly affects the other four. "How do we respond to higher fertilizer costs is a question every corn grower is asking, Heiniger says. For growers trying to make maximum yields it is another of those two-edged swords — on one side using enough fertilizer to make maximum yield, and on the other side, not using more than is needed.
Richard Reich, assistant commissioner of agriculture in North Carolina, says their labs completed over 300 corn tissue analyses in 2005, and surprisingly, more samples showed low and deficient sulfur than nitrogen.
Heiniger agrees that low sulfur in 2005 was a more limiting factor on corn yields than nitrogen. Though stopping short of recommending grid sampling in corn fields, the North Carolina State specialist did urge growers to test more thoroughly in low-producing areas of their farm to ensure adequate use of sulfur and other fertilizers.
Potassium is another critical factor affecting corn yield. Heiniger points out that for every 100 pounds of K applied to a corn field, takes $6.25, or about three bushels of corn to pay for it. "Growers can't cut back on K and expect to produce a top yield, yet in the overall budget for fertilizer there is a set amount for potassium. Thus, putting K in the places in a field where it will do the most good is critical to both yield and profitability.
Determining precise amounts of fertilizer to use is critical in that fertilizer prices are high and corn is a high-demanding crop. The best approach, according to Heiniger is to use 25-50 pounds of N at planting, then use a simple color test, in which small strips are analyzed, to determine which areas of the field used the N and which areas need additional amounts.
Armed with strip test color analysis and well thought out soil testing, growers can make better decisions on which fertilizers to use. Knowing how much nitrogen carryover is in the soil can allow growers to cut back on N in some fields, or even parts of fields.
By carefully managing these five keys, Heiniger contends, North Carolina corn growers can maximize yields and profitability.


text: Just wanted to know, did anyone watch this? What did you think of the various artists and how well they did their own versions of Metallica's songs? I thought Sum41 at the very beginning did very well with "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "Master of Puppets" and Korn did so-so playing "One". As for the rest, come on... Avril Lavigne doing "Fuel" was atrocious, and Snoop Dog with "Sad But True" was just simply SAD. Jim Bruer was kinda funny. I didn't see what other artists come on after that cause I had to go to bed. Anybody gonna start watching Head Bangers Ball on MTV when it comes on?

Las Vegas was inhabited by the Paiute Indians for hundreds of years. The first reported visit by someone of Eurpoean descent came in 1829 by Rafael Riviera, a scout with a party of Spanish explorers searching for water while en route to nearby Los Angeles.
Spaniards in the Antonio Armijo party later named the area Las Vegas, which is Spanish for "the meadows". Las Vegas originally served as a rest area for pioneers traveling towards Los Angeles.
In 1865, Octavius D. Gass built a ranch on what now is now downtown Las Vegas. The ranch was later sold to Montana senator William Clark, who used the land to complete a railroad line between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles.
Las Vegas officially became a city in 1911 and, at the time, was a fashionable railroad town. In 1931, gambling was legalized and today, gaming, conventions, retail, dining, and tourism drive the Las Vegas economy.
The legalization of gambling in 1931 led to the advent of casino-hotels, for which Las Vegas is world famous. Major development occurred in the 1940s and most of the original large casinos were managed or at least funded under mob figures Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, Meyer Lansky or other mob figures at this time.
In the late 1960s, businessman Howard Hughes purchased many casino-hotels, as well as television and radio stations in the city. This led to more legitimate corporations purchasing casino-hotels as well, and the once powerful mob was eventually run out by the federal government.
Today, Las Vegas is the 28th most populous city in the United States and is home to a spectacular collection of hotels, residences, sensational entertainment, and extraordinary shopping. Billed as "The Entertainment Capital of the World", it is second only to Macau, China in gambling revenue.
Industry and Employment in Las Vegas
Also nicknamed "Sin City", Las Vegas has a wide variety of entertainment. Casinos such as the world famous Bellagio Hotel and Casino and MGM City Center offer exciting rounds or roulette, poker, and blackjack. Exotic foods and extravagant flavors of fine dining can be enjoyed at Bruce and Eric Bromberg's Blue Ribbon, Scott Conant's Scarpetta, and David Myers' Comme Ça.
However, Las Vegas is not just casinos and restaurants. Sample the sophistication of the city while visiting the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art and the Left of Center Art Gallery and Studio. Las Vegas also offers an array of retail outlets and a diverse nightlife that is sure to satisfy all who partake.
Education in Las Vegas
Decision-making can be confusing for a student when selecting a school and program of study, but there are a variety of options when it comes to choosing a school and program in Las Vegas.
"Technology and healthcare are really taking off in Las Vegas," says Cara Roberts, director of public relations for the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce. "Construction and real estate are huge as well. But our hospitality industry is as big as ever. Tourism is still our driving force."
