Converge Summer Holiday!
posted by:
June 29th 2014 - 23:40
For the next four weeks Converge will be taking a summer holiday from 25 man raiding!
All our raiders have their shiny mount and after 6 months of farm we feel like it is a good time to take a short break.
We will continue running 10 man for those who don't feel like a break and this is still a great time to apply for WoD!
The next 25 man raid will be on the 30th July and serious preparations for WoD will begin then as well as any mount boost runs that people may want to buy.
Happy Holidays :)

Garrosh HC Down! Tier Done! Realm First!
posted by:
January 30th 2014 - 00:26
He's down! Finally, after a string of bad luck he is finally dead! (Well, not really!)
WARNING: Possible foul language when Damo decides to suidide at the start of phase 4.
This has been our first complete tier, from start to end, as a guild and we've proven that mergers can work.
Unfortunately we did lose some ranks on the kill (from rank 140 to 180) after having improved our ranks boss after boss; we were extremely unlucky with internet issues, roster issues, disconnect issues, server login issues that slowed us down significantly (oh and Brewmaster's OP!).
We're looking upwards and onwards for WoD for Garrosh 2.0. We are going to get back to our best rank this tier and improve upon it. Now is a great time to join!
Kill vids to follow!

First boss in the tier so far that has been a real challenge. It was also probably the best boss so far to progress on! So much going on and it's great when things just 'click', our kill was by FAR one of our cleanest kills in terms of play and damage done. The kill also brought us to being the most progressed guild on our realm so far, hopefully we'll be able to keep it up!

Welcome motocross fans to this preview of MXGP The Official Motocross Videogame coming to PC, Ps3, Ps4, PS Vita and Xbox 360 Spring of next year. I don't know about you, but motocross is a tough sport and so far the fan base has been huge for a long time, but so far not many games have done the genre justice. I am hoping that with MXGP, it will take us to a whole new level of motocross racing and of course stunts. Lets check out this new physics video.
Wow that looks sick and the graphics are on point. I was not sure if I was actually looking at a game or live footage, but I am so far impressed with how it looks. This is actually coming from official FIM World Motocross Championship and will feature all the riders, teams, bikes and rules. This sounds like it will be the premiere simulator for motocross enthusiast, which is about time. Taken from the developers.
"The main keyword of MXGP is loyalty and this is particularly clear in several elements of the game such as the tracks. The track of Maggiora has been realized in 1:1 scale, as on the real one. The same principle has been applied for the bike and riders' behaviour and the deformation of the track. All these features are possible thanks to several data collected on the field", affirms Alessandro Castrucci, Game Director @ Milestone. "In this particular gameplay video players will see the potential of the brand new title in development. We're confident that MXGP will tickle the appetite of the fans keeping the elevate accessibility of the milestone titles", concludes Castrucci.
It all comes down to the fight to the first position, be it through mud or making those amazing jumps to reach the stars. As more information develops, we shall be sure to share as it comes along. Stay frosty!

It's been almost nine months since the LG G Pad 8.3's official release. At about the same time, Google released Android 4.4 KitKat and the LG-manufactured Nexus 5. While the majority of current generation devices have since been updated to Android 4.3 or 4.4, the LG G Pad 8.3 (Verizon variant) has been stuck on 4.2. Luckily, things have just changed for the better. Users of this mid-sized tablet should feel happy, as the Verizon variant of the device has been updated from Android 4.2.2 directly to Android 4.4.2 via OTA update.
The update codenamed VK81022B comes in at rather hefty 404 MB, and it brings lots of new features and bug fixes. The G Pad 8.3's screen can now be unlocked with the new Knock Code lock, which was already available on other LG devices. Of course, all major features introduced in KitKat (Immersive Mode, printing, and so on) are available as well. A few previously reported bugs have been squashed, and hopefully this update will bring no new major issues.
From a power user's point of view, you must know that OTA can't be flashed using TWRP recovery. In other words, you'll need to revert to stock recovery and stock firmware. Your device must be in vanilla state, so forget about root for the moment.
If you can't wait for Verizon to push the OTA for your device, XDA Senior Member paperWastage has captured the file for your sideloading pleasure. If you are an LG G Pad 8.3 owner, you can visit the KitKat update information thread to learn more about this update and apply it on your device.

If you've ever owned an iOS device or a Sony PlayStation 3, you've more than likely heard the name George Hotz. Otherwise known as XDA Recognized Developer geohot, this New Jersey-based hacker gained notoriety for his work in jailbreaking and otherwise hacking the aforementioned devices. Now, using a recently discovered Linux kernel vulnerability, geohot has managed to root the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 5.
The root exploit itself is built around Linux kernel CVE-2014-3153, which was recently discovered by hacker Pinkie Pie, and it involves an issue in the Futex subsystem that in turn allows for privilege escalation. Although expressly released for the Verizon Galaxy S5, the root exploit will realistically be compatible with practically every device with an unpatched kernel–which at this point should be nearly every device not running a recent nightly build of a custom ROM with a patched kernel. As such, it has also already been tested and found to work with the AT&T Galaxy S5, Nexus 5, Galaxy S4 Active, and AT&T and Verizon variants of the Note 3.
If you've got a Verizon Galaxy S5 or any other previously unrooted device and you want to get in on the root action, head over to the original thread and give towelroot a try. And if you need some background music while you root your device, head over to Geohot's SoundCloud to listen to a song released 10 days ago advertizing Towelroot.
[Many thanks to XDA Developer Admin Pulser_G2 for the heads up and information!]

The UK newspaper The Guardian has revealed today that US CDMA telecommunications provider Verizon is secretly collecting and disclosing the telephone records of a huge number of subscribers (likely in the order of tens of millions of Americans) to USA's National Security Agency (NSA), often cynically referred to as "Never Say Anything." This classified, top secret court order, whose classification does not expire until April 2038, compels Verizon to provide, and continue to provide on an ongoing basis:
[...] an electronic copy of the following tangible things:
All call detail records or "telephony metadata" created by Verizon for communications
(i) between the United States and abroad; or
(ii) wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls
As if to somewhat diminish this, the order goes on to state it does not require Verizon to provide details of calls that start and end outside of the United States. This is little comfort, however, for any subscriber using the Verizon network, as the order goes on to detail the definition of the metadata requested. This includes the source and end-point telephone numbers, the IMSI and IMEI numbers, and the trunk identifier, among other things. The significance of this is that the presence of both the IMEI and IMSI numbers mean that Verizon is being forced to disclose information that identifies individual devices and handsets in use (the IMEI permits identification of the handset model in use, as well as the individual phone).
Quite why such top-secret blanket surveillance is required is obviously the top question right now. And while the NSA claims this is the equivalent to looking at a traditional letter's envelope, it seems a somewhat tenuous link since letters do not contain an unchangeable identifier on them (IMEI) that can be tied back to you at the point of purchase.
While the NSA's aims specifically exclude it from carrying out "spying" or surveillance on non-foreign targets, this is somewhat concerning, no?

There has been a bit of a back and forth between the development community and Verizon lately, specifically relating to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. It is perhaps best summed up by XDA Elite Recognized Developer AdamOutler:
"Well, this has been quite the saga thus far…
Us: Suck It Verizon (exploit)
them: Suck it XDA-Developers (OTA patch)
Us: Back Atcha Verizon (exploit)
them: Stop it XDA (OTA Patch)
Us: No You! (exploit)"
The combination of Adam's CASUAL deployment system and Recognized Developer Ralekdev's exploits themselves has been continually providing Verizon Note 2 owners with the ability to free their device through each OTA. The pair have once again managed to undo the restrictions put in place by the latest update, and they have released that exploit to the public. Be aware that this is only for those who are running a completely stock ROM. If you are not stock and have already installed a custom recovery, this will cause you issues.
This exploit lifts the restrictions put in place by Verizon that prevent the device from running unauthorized software. Be warned that it will leave you unable to accept their OTA updates. However, you will now have a much friendlier bootloader, and who doesn't want that?
For those of you who are running a stock ROM and looking to unlock their device, the usual rules apply. Windows(7/8)/Mac/Linux users can all make use of this cross platform tool, which will take you through the process quickly and easily. Make sure you have Java installed beforehand and you're all set. As always, be prepared to take a log if you run into any issues, and make sure to have a thorough read through the development thread before starting the process.

Owners of the Verizon variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet will no longer feel left out, thanks to the unlock package that XDA Elite Recognized Developer AdamOutler posted late Friday night. Although he takes issue with the word 'unlock,' preferring to call it a 'jailbreak' because that term is exempted by the DMCA.
The process couldn't be easier thanks to Adam's CASUAL software. I'm sure you've heard of it before since it's been features on XDA TV and several Portal posts. The software provides a GUI for scripts that use the Android Developer Bridge (ADB) and it works on Linux, Mac, and Windows. The power of CASUAL is well represented in this procedure. Adam's demo video shows that clicking the Do It button and following the prompts is all it really takes. From there, the script performs an IROM unlock using exploits discovered by Lee Harrison (Recognized Developer Ralekdev).
Get your hands on the unlock package by heading over to the original thread. While you're there, heed Adam's warning about flashing once you unlock your Note. The exploit used leaves it vulnerable to being bricked if you flash a file not meant for this specific hardware.

We all know that Verizon seems to have some kind of fear of unlocked bootloaders, as is evident on their Samsung Galaxy S III and Galaxy Tab 2. We also know that XDA's developers and device owners alike have a hatred of locked bootloaders, so there has to be some give at one point or another. And on this occasion, it's a win for the developers and in turn, device owners.
XDA Forum Member id_ram managed to get his hands on a 'prototype' Verizon Galaxy Tab 2, which turned out to have an insecure bootloader. XDA Senior Member MrHyde03 then worked with id_ram to pull the required image files from the device and carried out further testing on his own device. If successful, he would have an unlocked Galaxy Tab 2. If unsuccessful, he would have a dead Galaxy Tab 2. Luckily for him, the former scenario played out, and the result of this can be found in the bootloader unlocking thread.
In order to unlock your bootloader, all you need to do is root your device, flash the insecure bootloader image, and enter a few simple commands using adb or a terminal window.
Happy unlocking!

Since the unveiling of the original Nexus device, Google has made it a point to state that owning a Nexus device means you'll be on the fast track to new OS updates. However, this has not been the case for owners of the CDMA variants of the Galaxy Nexus.
At Google I/O 2012, the GSM Galaxy Nexus received Jelly Bean. Around that time, the bookies and odds makers in Vegas began taking bets on when the CDMA versions would be as lucky. It's been three months now, and neither the Sprint nor Verizon Galaxy Nexus have been updated. But maybe that is changing.
As of last night, reports began coming in about an update notice that began appearing for certain Verizon Galaxy Nexus owners. After investigation, XDA Senior Member oldblue910 determined that it is test build JRO03O, and requires a lengthy process to be able to apply the update, which requires you to first return to the IMM76Q update, flash to IMM76K, and finally apply the JRO03O update. You will need to be unrooted and stock in order to apply the update, but if you are so inclined feel free to download the update directly from Google's servers.

The Motorola Droid Bionic has been updated to 5.9.902 via an over the air update that started this week. 5.9.902 brings a host of new features, improvements and fixes. You can view the full changelog from Verizon here. Some of the more notable improvements include fixes for black screen lockups, dock lockups, idle resets and improvements to the camera and several system apps.
While some users maintained root after the update, XDA users began reporting in this thread that the update did, in fact, disable root access. Those that used the '43V3R Root' method have reported success preserving root after updating. All current root methods have been unsuccessful in rooting .902 after the update.
Is there any hope for those who already applied the update? Forum members have confirmed that it is possible to downgrade to .893 with RSD Lite, so take solace in the fact that you can flash to stock and start over. If you haven't updated yet, XDA Senior Member tuckmobile has created a step by step guide to rooting, applying the permanent root script and updating to 5.9.902. You can check out his full guide here or just the instructions to apply the update here.

How many carriers does it take to screw up a lightbulb? One, if the lightbulb represents a good idea, but the other carriers are certain to join in, anyway. Google's Nexus family is that good idea.
According to 9to5Google, Verizon will block Google Wallet on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in favor of its own product, Isis–a competing payment app, collaboratively created with AT&T and T-Mobile. Google Wallet won't come installed on the Android Market on Verizon. (But note, Verizon said they are not blocking Google Wallet. It's simply "not supported." On Google's own phone.) To repeat myself, the latest Nexus phone, Google's yearly zenith of innovation, will sport bloatware.
Amidst the tidal stench of phones crusted over with all the crap carriers and manufacturers stick on them, the Nexus line is a fresh, relieving breeze. Or was. I don't know what Google was thinking, agreeing to smudge their own idealism and the Nexus' purity. In fact, I don't know what Verizon was thinking. There will be other phones. Plenty of them. It won't be long until those phones out-perform the Galaxy Nexus. Why this phone? Why right now?
It takes a special sort of consumer to buy a Nexus. These people are looking specifically for the Google experience. They want pure, unadulterated Android. I don't care whether Google Wallet sucks. It's part of the Google experience. I don't care if your alternative is way better. It's not part of the Google experience. So, for this special sort of consumer, where's the incentive to buy the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, now?
While I doubt this will be a huge factor in sales, I think Verizon is shooting itself in the lower extremities. Let's hope that AT&T and T-Mobile, the other founders of Isis, aren't so self-absorbed and impatient that they completely ignore the whole point of the Nexus family. Stay tuned for the fourth Nexus phone in 2012, where Google makes sure the Nexus brand is absolutely meaningless, featuring Android Jellybean, a trial version of Asphalt 7 and locked bootloader.
Please let us know how you feel in the comments.

I was thinking about the HTC Rezound today. I do that sometimes–sit down and let my thoughts wander. I thought about its three-way fight within Verizon against the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Droid RAZR, and how it will fare this Christmas season. I also thought about TrevE's work on HTC's astounding Carrier IQ screw-up. And I came up with a target market based on privacy and security to whom no manufacturer has managed to sell phones yet: the hopeless-paranoid.
See, on one extreme, there's the non-paranoid. These people either think they have everything under control or don't care if they have control. They're the ones who buy crappy phones on contract. They have no interest in phones, it's just something they use and could easily afford at the moment.
At the opposite extreme, there's the empowered-paranoid. These are developers and other early adopters who use independent development. They constantly seek the best phones either because it shouldn't have the flaws of crappier phones, or because, if it does have problems, they can do something about it and not feel like they're wasting time developing for sub-par hardware.
If we imagine a square to give a two-dimensional range to my envisioned market, in another corner are the paranoid-curious. These people don't worry too much, but their brains pump out thoughts often enough that they can at least spare a few to consider the advice of developers and early adopters. That means worrying about privacy and security to some degree. They buy higher-end phones because the empowered-paranoid–who are, again, developers and early adopters–encourage it.
Then there's the hopeless-paranoid. These people have all the security and privacy concerns of developers, yet feel they have no way to correct it. Which phones do they buy? They don't. The only thing they know to do when they're worried about their privacy is to avoid the thing that makes them worry. They aren't worried about specific security issues–they don't actually know enough to worry like that. They're worried about everything. They say things like, "I don't want people to be able to call me no matter where I am." We've all heard lines like that, and we all know it's silly. If you don't want to talk to people at a certain time, turn off your phone. No, they're worried about more than being so accessible.
Now, you may be asking, is there actually any reason to be paranoid? I guess that depends. I reread some of the articles egzthunder1 wrote covering all TrevE's amazing work exposing the dirty little secrets of HTC and the carriers. And while he focuses on HTC phones, make no mistake that other manufacturers are doing the same.
Nevermind the security flaws that allow any app with Internet access to intercept the data that Carrier IQ, HTCLogger, etc. collect. HTC and the carriers collect enough data to know pretty much everything about your phone habits. Verizon changed their privacy policy to say that while you can opt out of letting them sell your information to other companies, they're still collecting and keeping that data. And Sprint… Sprint doesn't even let you opt out. They're giving away information about you to whomever they like. That could be companies. That could be law enforcement. You don't get to say who they give it to, you don't get to say what information they give, and you don't get to say that they cannot collect it.
So yes, I think paranoia is justified. And thank goodness for all the developers that work so hard to strip Carrier IQ and their ilk from ROMs. To a certain extent, thank goodness for the manufacturers and carriers that openly support development by not locking down devices. To the carriers and manufacturers who try to keep us from developing their devices, let me introduce you to the above four target markets. I suggest you change your minds. To HTC specifically, we see how developer-friendly you're trying to be, but we see your devotion to carriers like Verizon more. You need to decide that Peter Chou lied and bootloaders will not be unlocked, or you need to stand up for yourselves.
There is a point to all this. As I said, I was thinking about the HTC Rezound, announced last week. And since it's on Verizon, its bootloaders will probably be locked. That's a clear move to prevent development. So do something for me: pretend the bootloader can't be unlocked through exploits. We can't get S-Off, we can't get root, no custom bootloader, no custom kernels or custom ROMs. To put it simply, developers can't develop. All that paranoia and nothing can be done about it.
Which of those four groups of people does that sound like? That's right. The hopeless-paranoid. The people who don't buy phones. Except, in this case, they don't buy your phones. The only difference is, developers influence the buying habits of that large group of paranoid-curious people. The HTC Rezound? Great specs. Too bad the bootloader won't be unlocked. And doubly too-bad, HTC, that you made the Rezound exclusively for Verizon, the US carrier certain to get the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
Merry Christmas, HTC. Perhaps you'll remember us in your New Years resolutions.

Verizon Wireless breaks the law if the bootloaders are locked on some phones. By the end of this article, you'll know why.
As I was recording my show for XDA TV this week, I had a moment. You can see it for yourself. I was recapping my article about Motorola and Verizon not unlocking the bootloader for the Droid RAZR. The line I delivered was, "The international version of the Droid RAZR will be shipping with an unlocked bootloader. Now, this could be that Motorola wants to compete with the Galaxy Nexus…" That's when I had my moment, and added, "which is funny because that's also going on Verizon."
In that moment, I realized that Motorola must be lying. Why can some devices and manufacturers unlock their bootloaders, and not others? But I was wrong. (Congratulations, Motorola, on your newfound sense of freedom!) The Galaxy Nexus is special for two reasons. First, it's Google's phone. Second, it's likely that the Galaxy Nexus' LTE radio uses Block C frequencies.
Not many people know what the C Block is. I didn't either. Andrew Krug of AndroidActivists told me about it, and we spent the night poring over research. Verizon has the largest 4G network because they bought it in 2008. At the time, the 700 MHz radio frequencies brought you your favorite broadcast television shows. When television switched from analog to digital, they became your 4G networks.
When the Federal Communications Commission announced the auction to sell the 700 MHz band, they broke it into five different "blocks", each with different regulations according to how widespread they are. This created a Goldilocks sort of situation. Block D has the largest area, but comes with more clauses than malls have during the Christmas season. Plus, you're supposed to be a public service agency. Blocks A, B, and E are small potatoes. But Block C was just right. Few regulations, lots of breadth.
It was so good, in fact, that the FCC tacked on a few more regulations, encouraged by Google. Unless Block C sold for less than $4.6 billion, it comes with an open access provision. Google pledged $4.6 billion to ensure Block C comes with the open access provision. The open access provision requires Verizon to "not deny, limit, or restrict the ability of their customers to use the devices and applications of their choice on the licensee's C Block network." It goes on to say, "The potential for excessive bandwidth demand alone shall not constitute grounds for denying, limiting or restricting access to the network." Verizon bought Block C and tried to have the provisions removed. They failed. The provisions are still there, Verizon has the Block C license. That means if a device uses the Block C frequencies, Verizon cannot insist what apps or firmware it runs. It also means they can't limit data plans for those devices. Which is odd, because I remember Verizon dropping unlimited data plans back in July 2011.
So the question is, do any devices use Block C frequencies? Yes. Some are called Hotspots. Others are called the HTC Thunderbolt. There may be more, those are simply the two I know about and confirmed. The Hotspots are a non-issue. They comply with FCC regulations as far as I'm aware. The HTC Thunderbolt, on the other hand, does not. In the list of rules and exceptions for the Block C license, it says this:
Handset locking prohibited. No licensee may disable features on handsets it provides to customers, to the extent such features are compliant with the licensee's standards pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section, nor configure handsets it provides to prohibit use of such handsets on other providers' networks.
In case you're wondering, Paragraph (b) is what I previously quoted from the FCC's open access provisions document. Last I checked, HTCdev does not offer a bootloader unlocking solution for the HTC Thunderbolt. Is this HTC's fault? No. Their website states, "HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices. However, certain models may not be unlockable due to operator restrictions." And having personally met the HTCdev team, I believe them.
That leaves Verizon. Good ol' Verizon. Breaking the law since May, at the latest. If you owned a Thunderbolt, please file a complaint with the FCC. Select Wireless Telephone > Billing, Service, Privacy, Number Portability and other issues > Online Form. Fill out your information, scroll down, fill out 1 and 2, skip 3 and 4. Then in 5, tell the FCC that your phone's bootloader was sold to you locked and still is, even though it uses Block C (reag) frequencies.
Don't worry. The FCC said they're committed to enforcing the open access provision. We'll see how fast Verizon turns things around. If you know of any other devices that use frequencies between 746 and 757 MHz, and also 776 to 787 MHz, please send a message to me or any Portal News Writer. Thanks.
UPDATE: David Ruddock over at Android Police was kind enough to further explain the situation. For those of you coming from his article, or who share his criticisms, this article is not erroneous or short-sighted. David's article does an excellent job of sobering us to how difficult the struggle will be to get the FCC to move. The loophole Verizon will undoubtedly use to excuse their actions is in the phrase, "reasonable network management," from paragraph (b)(1), though we don't know that for sure because Verizon has never addressed the issue. But David's points do not invalidate this article for two reasons:
1) David's assessment of the standards by which "reasonable network management" is determined are fairly simple, and I say fairly accurate. Do the other major cellular providers use the same security and management standards? Yes. Okay, seems reasonable. But locking bootloaders is not "reasonable" by the same standard. Most carriers do not exact this method of network management. Therefore, not necessarily reasonable.
2) The issue of Verizon's double-standard concerning bootloaders is entirely ignored, even though this article began with it, and is based on it. Verizon will supposedly defend locking bootloaders because rooting and flashing pose a threat to network security and management (which is debatable), and therefore reasonable to do. However, they do not require the bootloaders to be locked on all their devices. Samsung's bootloaders are unlocked, including on phones like the Galaxy Nexus and the Samsung Droid Charge. Why not allow HTC, Motorola, LG, etc. to unlock their devices? This double-standard invalidates the "reasonable network management" defense.
These questions must be satisfied for Verizon to be within the law.

As you may already be aware of, Verizon announced that the Motorola Droid X will be receiving a little treat for its users. The Froyo update will start rolling out on 9/22 at Noon Eastern Time. The release will include the following enhancements:
These updates were expected and the enhancements are pretty standard across all Android phones running 2.2. Hopefully, this will lead to some more full rooting possibilities and exploits, Enjoy the Froyo!

Aviva Premiership: Sale Sharks beat London Irish to end seven-game losing streak

Sale claimed their first Aviva Premiership win of the season at the eighth attempt as they beat London Irish 21-9 at City of Salford Stadium.
The Sharks were deserved winners after scoring the only two tries of the night in the first half through Nick Macleod and Johnny Leota, and while they remain bottom of the table, victory moves them to within four points of the Irish and Welsh Exiles.
Former England fly-half Danny Cipriani played a key role for Sale, setting up both first-half tries, as well as adding a conversion. Irish's response before the break came through a penalty from Ian Humphreys.
Humphreys kicked two more three-pointers in the second period to reduce the deficit, but two late Cipriani penalties sealed the victory.
Despite a nervy opening, solid set-piece work allowed the Sharks to gain a foothold in the match and after they had stolen an Irish lineout, the Sharks drove impressively and forced Irish to infringe, with Macleod edging the home team ahead with eight minutes gone.
It seemed to settle them down and they added to that lead soon after when fly-half Cipriani sent the full-back over.
London Irish did reduce the arrears when Humphreys kicked three points, but it was the Sharks who continued to threaten when Leota charged through the defensive line.
Although nothing came of that, it was not long before the Samoan outside centre was crossing the try-line. Cipriani was again the creator, as the stand-off's wonderfully delayed pass sent Leota through a gap and he shrugged off two would-be tacklers before touching down.
Cipriani converted to extend the advantage to a deserved 15-3 at half-time, but with a team that was so low on confidence, it was never a comfortable lead, especially when Humphreys ate into it just after the interval with a second three-pointer.
After Humphreys had broken the gain-line, Sale conceded another penalty which the fly-half duly converted. But as Irish pressed for more, the hosts remained composed and Cipriani sealed the victory with successive penalties from the tee.
Those late kicks also denied Sale's fellow strugglers a losing bonus point which may prove crucial in the relegation battle.
Victory was the perfect way to end a tumultuous week for the former champions, after the removal of Bryan Redpath as director of rugby.
Redpath was then installed as head coach on Wednesday, with chief executive Steve Diamond putting himself in charge of first-team duties.
On this evidence it is a move that has paid dividends just in time to give Sale realistic hope of salvaging their season - and their place in the top flight.

Fashion and Instagram. Since the era of couturier Coco Chanel, fashion fiends have entrusted their style sense to magazines like Vogue, Vanity Fair, and W; indulging in the inspiring images that define fashion and capture the essence of being 'en vogue.' Thanks to the innovation of the printing press, people started contracting consumerism like some sort of epidemic. Alas, nowadays print is dead and the world has turned to digitalism while being thrust into a reinvented era—an era that can outrun the printing press in a heartbeat; running on Wi-Fi rather than basic mechanics.
After years of flipping through the pages of sports and fashion magazines, technology has made everyone's job much easier, as we can now scroll through the images with one finger on our smartphones. Yes, I am talking about Instagram and it's addictive nature: a cellular app defined by the company as "a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your photos with friends and family." However, the photo sharing does not stop there. In fact, photos shared on Instagram have the ability to go viral in the same way images in Vogue once did; and the reach is growing exponentially. The difference between Instagram and Vogue, you see, is instant gratification. Unlike the reign of the magazine, in this day and age people crave speed. It has become a form of common sense as social media has morphed within a generation. The fashion industry knows this, and as a result thousands of brands and bloggers alike have manipulated the app's intended purpose of sharing images with friends and family, opting to share their images—their names—with the world. From behind the scenes images from the latest Vogue photo-shoot, to instant front row images from Paris Fashion Week, Instagram continues to influence and change our lives.

Additional Learning Support is extra help available to any student who has a different or additional learning need.
Some examples could be:-
· Initially on the application form – students are asked to disclose if they have any special circumstances which could affect their learning. This will not affect their chances of coming to Woodhouse.
· At interview the students will be asked if they have any problems with their learning that the college should know about. This will not affect the outcome of the interview if Woodhouse has the appropriate resources to meet the student's needs.
· In the first few days at Woodhouse the students will be asked if they have any special circumstances or medical conditions which the college could help to support.

We go right into music-video mode. The song "Prelude 12/21" by AFI plays as we cut to a lab. The doctor from Lex's office is looking over the shirtless body of Farmer Moleman. He tells Lex, who is standing nearby, that the farmer is in a low-level coma. The music booms: "Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep." Lex tells the doctor to put him with the others. The music goes into a choir-sounding chorus. We zoom in on Farmer Moleman's dirty fingers. Lex walks in slow motion down a narrow hallway with cells on each side. Hands reach out to Lex from the cells as he keeps walking. The fluorescent lights flicker overhead as Lex walk toward a door. I know this is supposed to look all bad-ass and all, and I guess it does, but it screams "overly art-directed." The door slams behind Lex. A sign on the door reads "33.1." We go to blackout. The song goes all twinkly again.
That's it! Happy holidays, pals. I'll see you in January when Clark forms a Tupperware party made up of past D.C. Comics guest stars. They call it "Justice." I call it, "Work, Round 2."

Dakota Johnson is set to become a household name when the '50 Shades Of Grey' movie is released on Valentines Day next year. The daughter of actors Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson is staring as Anastasia Steele in the movie adaptation of the best selling erotic novel.
So what's her secret to starring in such a sexually explicit film? "I don't have any problem doing anything," she told Elle magazine. "The secret is I have no shame."
"Reading the book, I found myself more interested in the ways they were breaking each other down emotionally than the sex scenes," the 24-year-old revealed. "I think there's a part of a woman that wants to be the thing that breaks a man down."

Minor damage in fire at University Apartments near VSU
ETTRICK - A fire sprinkler system stopped a fire from spreading through University Apartments yesterday afternoon near Virginia State University. No injuries were reported after a unit being used for storage caught fire, and none of the 92 student residents were displaced overnight.
An emergency call was received at 1:38 p.m. Tuesday, and firefighters responded to the off-campus apartment complex to find a first-floor unit filled with smoke, according to Lt. Jason Elmore.
"We're very glad that the sprinkler system activated," he said. "This could have been a whole lot worse."
The unit, which was unoccupied and being used by the property management for storage space, caught fire after a worker accidentally turned stovetop burners on. Boxes and other items stored on the stove soon caught fire. The kitchen area appeared the worst damaged as firefighters removed charred items from the unit.
The complex, located off Woodpecker Road, leases furnished apartments to students enrolled at Virginia State University. Residents were allowed back in their units soon after the fire.

Stocks to watch: Target, Sears
Target's quarterly results fail to impress investors, while Sears announces plans to sell stores to raise cash.
By Joseph Woelfel
Target (TGT) posted fiscal fourth-quarter earnings of $1.49 per share, excluding certain items, up from $1.38 a share in the year-earlier period. Revenue was $21.29 billion, up from $20.66 billion a year ago. Revenue rose 3% to $21.29 billion. Analysts had expected the company to earn $1.40 a share on revenue of $21.21 billion.
Sears Holdings (SHLD) said it plans to sell 11 stores and break out its outlet and Hometown businesses through a rights offering that might raise as much as $500 million. The company plans to sell the sites to General Growth Properties (GGP) for $270 million. The company also said it earned 54 cents int he fourth quarter, excluding certain items, falling short of expectations for 78 cents.
Apple (AAPL) will hold its shareholders' meeting Thursday at its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. The iPhone and iPad maker may have to address what it plans to do with its nearly $98 billion in cash.
Shares of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) were falling after the PC and printer maker offered an earnings forecast for its fiscal second quarter, which ends in April, that fell short of Wall Street expectations. HP said it expects earnings of 88 cents to 91 cents per share, less than the average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters for a profit of 95 cents. The company also said its net income dropped 44% as sales of PCs fell.
Vivus (VVUS) said Wednesday a Food and Drug Administration panel recommended the agency approve Onexa, the company's proposed treatment for obesity in adults. The FDA will review the company's new drug application for Qnexa, which was submitted in October 2011. The recommendation from the FDA panel doesn't guarantee the drug will receive approval from the agency.
Kohl's (KSS) saw it fourth-quarter profit fall 7.9% amid poor holiday sales. For the period ended Jan. 28, the company reported profit of $455 million, or $1.81 a share, down from $494 million, or $1.66 a share, a year earlier. Kohl's had fewer shares outstanding in the more recent quarter. Analysts expected profit of $1.82 a share. The department store chain said it expects profit to rise by 2% to $4.75 a share for the year ending January 2013. Analysts are looking for $4.95 a share.

LGBT Hero Robin McGehee Speaks to Stonewall About ActivismActivism, Nevada Stonewall — By Nevada Stonewall Democrats on October 29, 2011 6:28 am
One of the great things about being a member of Stonewall in Nevada is the outstanding roster of guest speakers we have had and continue to have at our monthly meetings. Many of the current board members of Stonewall had the pleasure and honor of being a part of history as part of the Executive and Organizing boards of the National Equality March. In addition to being part of a team of people that brought over 250,000 people to Washington, DC.., to demand equality for all Americans, we made some very solid and log lasting friendships. We would not have been a part of the NEM and history if Robin McGehee had not recognized us for the activists that we didn't even know we were.
It is no stretch of the imagination to say that Stonewall Democrats in Nevada would not exist in its current form without the friendship we have with the mother of the modern LGBT Equality movement, Robin McGehee. She took us under her wing and taught us what true and unselfish activism truly is. In addition to being a great friend, Robin is a loving mother who cherishes every spare minute with her son and family. Robin currently is the head of Get Equal and has never stopped being a front line fighter for equal rights for all Americans. We will tell you more about Robin as we go forward, but, here is a video from April of 2010 when Robin came and visited us at Stonewall in Las Vegas. We think you'll get a good idea of what this amazing woman is all about. Enjoy and be inspired.

It really doesnt matter because if someone is just there to get honor, they will do it. When I wanted my welface epics I sat in bgs and stealthed while everyone else fought gaining me honor on top of my bonus honor. And I dont even know if I had a negative impact on the bg result. I was always about 70/30 on the win side because our faction generally performs well on my server. Had my full season one epics in 3 days. The point is that whether your a bot or not you still get the same results. If there is someone there camping primals for 18 hours or whatever are you still mad as long as its actually someone sitting there? One time I bought every primal air that was on the AH and listed them all for 20g higher. And they sold. Because people will pay to have their materials immediately. You don't need to bot to exploit the economy.
Botting has little effect on game play or the economy. I have never been effected by a botter and I'm glad that they are in game to provide me with materials. Blizzard should say that they will ban you for botting but never actually do anything about it. That way everyone can still cry about how awful it is, but others can bot away and not have to worry about having their accounts stolen so gold sellers can use them for profit, like explained in a recent wowinsider article.

Texas born and raised, Sunny Sweeney has long been heralded for her vocal prowess, and now she can add the recognition of an ACM Award nomination to her list of accolades as earlier this week Sunny was unveiled as one of the three nominees in The Academy of Country Music Awards' New Female Vocalist of the Year category.
Voting for the distinguished award will begin on VoteACM.com on Monday, January 21 and remain open through Feb. 4 with the winner of the category continuing on to compete for the title of New Artist of the Year Award at the 48th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards live on April 7, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/delayed PT on the CBS Television Network.
On being nominated, Sunny shares:
"Getting nominated for ACM New Female Vocalist is maybe the coolest thing to happen to me. I've been playing country music in honky-tonks and dive bars for almost a decade, so finally getting this kind of recognition is absolutely HUGE! I started out playing in Texas for beer and cheeseburgers, so this is just so gratifying!" she says laughing. "In all seriousness, it's validating to know that the ACM considers my kind of country music and my voice something worth keeping an eye and an ear on, and for that, I'm very grateful."
Sweeney shows off her sense of humor in her ACM campaign video with a spoof of Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg's infamous SNL Digital Short, "Dick In A Box." View Sweeney's version, in which she implores fans to "Click In The Box," HERE.

5 Diversified REITs With Monster Yields Over 9%
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Real estate investment trusts are no strangers to paying high dividend yields, as their incorporation and tax structures entitle them to deduct dividends paid to owners, significantly dodging a large U.S. federal income tax bill every year. Investors looking for high yields shouldn't turn a blind eye to this industry, and gems with yields north of 9% can be found with a little digging.
We pay attention to yields, insider transactions, hedge fund sentiment, and a number of other parameters in our proprietary strategy that has beaten the market by 18 percentage points on average.
For our take on five diversified REITs with dividend yields exceeding 9%, read on.
Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance (NYSE: ARI) starts us off with the lowest dividend yield on our screen, leveling in at 9% (the word "lowest" used relatively). Apollo prefers loan investing to real property, acquiring commercial loans, CMBS, and mezzanine financings. The company started May off with a significant earnings beat of $0.10 over estimates, displaying quarterly growth in both revenue and earnings. Apollo also showcases the highest P/E multiple on our list, with the trailing metric coming in at 11.
Billionaire Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies has over a million shares of Apollo in his portfolio.
Annaly Capital Management (NYSE: NLY) provides investors with an extremely high yield of 12.5%, coming in the form of quarterly payments of $0.45-$0.55. Annely prefers to invest in financing vehicles as well, including pass-through certificates and CMOs. As the U.S. real estate market has recovered, stocks like Annaly that are subject to low mortgage rates have taken a hit (Annaly is down 16% stretching back twelve months). Higher Treasury yields have also prompted selling in mortgage REITs recently.
Analysts are encouraging to buy on this dip, however; one year price targets put Annaly 10% away from their expectations. Billionaire Howard Marks of Oaktree Capital Management keeps nearly 13.2 million shares.
American Capital Mortgage Investment (NASDAQ: MTGE) takes the top spot on our list with a gargantuan dividend yield of 16.3%. As its name and ticker would suggest, MTGE invests in mortgage-related assets and has been subject to the same decline in price per share as NLY due to increasing Treasury yields. Agency MBS prices also declined in Q1, causing MTGE's most recent earnings announcement on May 3 to come in below expectations, underlined by a big mark-to-market loss of $1.66 per share on those securities.
Billionaire Israel Englander of Millennium Management has about $15.5 millioninvested in MTGE (take a look at his top five stocks here).
Where else can huge yields be found?
Capstead Mortgage Corp. (NYSE: CMO) is a $1.2 billion REIT invested in pass-throughs as well, although it specializes primarily in adjustable-rate mortgages issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Capstead provides investors with a yield of slightly over 10%, paid quarterly in a range of $0.30 to $0.40. Both KBW and RBC Capital are saying the recent dip in Capstead (caused by the Fed announcing its intent to taper off MBS purchases soon) could be a great buying opportunity. On a grander scale, however, Capstead is still up 9.5% on the year. Billionaire Ken Griffin of Citadel Investment Group owns 1.4 million shares of Capstead.
AG Mortgage Investment Trust, Inc. (NYSE: MITT) grabs the last spot on our screen with a yield of 12%. AG Mortgage overshadows the other stocks on our list with its excellent performance going back a year; the stock has appreciated by 19% (although still less than the overall market's gain of 26%). The same issues in the Treasury and mortgage markets have caused a small pullback for AG Mortgage as well, but less exaggerated than some of the other REITs. The company revealed a miss in its most recent earnings report at the start of May, highlighting a decline in EPS of 36% versus the same quarter a year prior.
Billionaire Leon Cooperman of Omega Advisors owns about $7 million worth of MITT (check out the fund's positions here).
There's no question Annaly Capital's double-digit dividend is eye-catching. But can investors count on that payout sticking around? With the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates at historically low levels, Annaly has had to scramble to defend its bottom line. In The Motley Fool's premium research report on Annaly, senior analysts Ilan Moscovitz and Matt Koppenheffer uncover the key challenges the company faces and divulge three reasons investors may consider buying it.

The Augmented Solow Model and the African Growth Debate
AbstractUsing panel data the question whether Africa's growth performance can be accounted for is analyzed in the framework of the augmented Solow model. Our results indicate that this model can account for Africa's low growth performance, provided that we allow for unobserved country specific effects and the endogeneity of investment in estimating the parameters of the model.

Louisville, Ky. (WHAS11) - All month long WHAS11 is celebrating the station's 60th birthday!
As part of our 60th anniversary special, WHAS11's Gary Roedemeier took a look back at one man who has played a big role in our history and the city's.
He's simply known as 'The Greatest.'
Just a few days after his 68th birthday, Muhammad Ali appeared at Freedom Hall and the chant was unmistakable.
It was a moment to soak in the affection from a community that has followed his exploits for 60 years.
Former WHAS11 Sports Director Dave Conrad was here to report on "The Greatest."
"He had the gift, the absolute knack of making people feel so comfortable in his presence," he said. "I think that's one of the reasons that endeared so many people."
He burst on the scene as an Olympic champion in 1960 when TV was creating mega-stars.
His family was waiting at Standiford Field when Cassius Clay returned from Rome, and so was WHAS11 Sports Director, Cawood Ledford.
His days as an amateur were over, and soon Cawood and WHAS followed Clay to Miami for the fight with Sonny Liston. Liston was the dour destroyer, who Clay baited in a press conference.
Clay said, "If Sonny Liston whips me, I'll kiss his feet in the ring."
In a stunning upset, Cassius Clay would back up the tough talk, saying, "I shook up the world. I shook up the world, I want the world to know, I am so great that Sonny Liston wasn't even a match."
And the next day, WHAS-TV was there, and Clay had a new title: The Heavyweight Champion of the World.
Clay would tell Cawood Ledford about plans to quickly visit his hometown.
And the man who followed Cawood as Sports Director said that's the way the champ was about Louisville.
"He always proudly proclaimed the fact that he's from Louisville, Kentucky," said Dave Conrad. "He was 22 when he won the championship. And the saga of his life, the battle over the draft, and two more championships are enshrined at the Ali Center in downtown Louisville."
And while he was the Greatest, WHAS11 followed Ali when he wasn't champ.
In Deer Park, Pennsylvania, Ali sat with his trainer, Angelo Dundee, and Conrad watching a fight he had lost to Leon Spinks in 1978. Ali was visualizing his next fight.
Conrad had never been to a training camp until doing the story for "Louisville Tonight."
"What impressed me most was the dedication that he had," he said. "You're talking about 4 o'clock in the morning, up and at 'em, hitting the roads in that area."
Ali would win the re-match, but the years of boxing began to take its toll.
In 1994, WHAS11 honored Ali on the 30th anniversary of his first championship, but the champ was showing the first symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
"We've had the Rembrandts, the Van Goghs," said Conrad. "They worked on a canvas. There was no better artist on canvas than Muhammad Ali."
And for 50 years, WHAS11 was the canvas for a man from Louisville, who shocked the world.

Four Tompkins Cortland Community College student-athletes have been honored with a National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Academic Student-Athlete Award. Taylor Policay (Lansing H.S./Ithaca), Kyle Shaw (Groton H.S./Groton), Sara Sinnigen (Dryden H.S./Dryden), and Hannah Wildenstein (Dryden H.S./Freeville) were each presented with the NJCAA Award for Exemplary Academic Achievement. The award, which was previously known as the NJCAA Academic All-American award, requires a minimum grade point average of 3.6. Only three percent of the nearly 60,000 student-athletes competing in the NJCAA this year received the designation.
Policay was a member of both the women's basketball and softball teams. She completed her sport management degree in May, graduating with a GPA of 3.76. On the softball diamond she earned all-conference honors after a stellar freshman season that saw her blast nine home runs, including a TC3-record two in one playoff game. Over two seasons at TC3, she started 58 of 59 softball games, leading the team in slugging percentage during that time. On the basketball court she started 17 of 22 games, averaging more than three points and six rebounds per contest.
Shaw golfed for TC3, qualifying for the NJCAA national tournament in both his freshman and sophomore years. He was the team's top scorer, and completed his academic work in business administration in May, graduating with a GPA of 3.61.
A captain on the women's soccer team, Sinnigen was a two-time all-conference selection, an NJCAA all-region choice, and an NSCAA All-American for the Panthers. A liberal arts and sciences major, she completed her coursework with a GPA of 3.71.
Wildenstein, the lone first-year student among TC3's honorees, was also a member of the women's soccer team. She started 11 games and has a GPA of 3.70 in business administration.
TC3 sophomore Kyle Shaw finished the NJCAA Division III National Championship tournament Friday with a final round score of 84, giving him a four-day total of 331. His score placed him in a tie for 50th out of 77 golfers.

Coach McDaniel returns to the course for the 2014-15 year, bringing along some strong credentials. He previously coached TC3 for more than a decade, putting together one of the most impressive runs of success of any TC3 team in any sport. During a four year span, TC3 won two Region III titles, never finished worse than third in the Region and had two top-seven finishes at nationals. He coached an individual national champion, a two-time All-American, three MSAC individual champions, and dozens of all-region and all-MSAC performers. Coach McDaniel has coached men and women golfers, including TC3's first woman golfer to qualify for the national tournament, by working with each golfer on all facets of the game. His knowledge, experience, and coaching style translates to a positive experience for all his student athletes.

Tompkins Cortland Community College sophomore Kyle Shaw (Groton H.S./Groton) has quailed for the NJCAA Division III Golf National Championship for the second straight year. He fired a two-day score of 161 (80-81) at the Region III Championship, hosted by TC3 at Cornell University's Robert Trent Jones Golf Course, good enough for fifth-place overall and an invitation to the national tournament. Teammate Mike Timmerman II (Cortland H.S./Cortland) just missed out on joining Shaw at nationals, finishing tied for the last spot and then losing out on the fourth hole of a two-person playoff. Timmerman finished the tournament with a score of 167 (91-76) to tie for 14th overall, good enough to earn all-region honors.
The top two teams plus the next five best individual scores earn a place at nationals. The team title was won by Monroe Community College with a score of 641. The individual medalist honors went to Monroe's Kyle Bromley with a 155 (80-75).
The national tournament is June 3-7 at Chautauqua Golf Club in Chautauqua, New York.
