The Waikato road toll is accelerating toward last year's total of 51 deaths, with three fatalities during the weekend.
Last night a 40-year-old man was killed when the motorbike he was riding lost control in wet conditions and hit a wire barrier on State Highway One just north of the Rangiriri Tavern. A passenger on the bike was taken to Middlemore Hospital with a moderate arm injury after the crash, which happened just after 7pm.
Officer in the charge of the scene Senior Sergeant Rupert Friend appealed for drivers to be careful.
"There have been way too many [crashes] this weekend, can people please respect the road conditions," he said.
Meanwhile, two people died in crashes near Paeroa and Taumarunui on Saturday.
With the region's road toll now sitting at 42, roading police bosses have vowed to breath test every driver pulled over on Waikato roads this Christmas, in the hope of putting the brakes on the escalating road toll.
The three Waikato fatalities added to an horrific weekend with another four people killed in a string of crashes that left 22 injured across the North Island.
A 25-year-old man was killed instantly when the car he was a passenger in left Awaiti Rd, west of Paeroa, about 11.15pm on Saturday, and rolled in a nearby paddock before ending up against a farm shed.
The car's 25-year-old male driver, from Paeroa, was taken to Thames Hospital with moderate injuries.
He was later shifted to Waikato Hospital where he remains in a stable condition.
Police Sergeant Jim Corbett, of the Thames-Hauraki strategic traffic unit, said the crash happened on a dry straight stretch of road.
The serious crash unit was investigating but Mr Corbett said that speed may have been a factor in the smash.
Just an hour earlier a rider was killed near Taumarunui when his motorbike left Golf Rd and crashed into a house about 10.20pm on Saturday.
Waikato road policing manager Inspector Marcus Lynam said the region's road toll was "far too high" and urged motorists to drive to road conditions.
"It does get quite frustrating because a number of the factors are the same. High speed and alcohol have been factors in a large number of the 41 fatalities this year," Mr Lynam said.
"It's frustrating but we need to keep on with the message of reducing speed, driving to the conditions, ensuring you've got your seatbelt on and don't drink and drive."
Mr Lynam said Christmas was a particularly dangerous time on the road because of high traffic volumes.
As part of the safety push, all motorists stopped by police will be breath-tested "as standard procedure".
"I've just been to Pauanui this weekend and you do see a lot of people getting impatient and overtaking in situations they shouldn't be.
"They're not actually saving any time, but they're putting themselves and other road users at risk."
Mr Lynam said the community also had a role in making roads safer.
"If you're having parties or organising social get-togethers, particularly over Christmas, ensure people that are coming have got alternatives to get home if they're driving or arrange accommodation for them to stay overnight."
Meanwhile, two motorcyclists killed in a fatal crash about noon on Saturday near Normanby, south Taranaki, have been named.
They were Kelly Richard Reardon, 40, of Waitara, and Gordon Thomas McKay, 68, of New Plymouth.
A 24-year-old Wanganui man involved in the crash was transported by Westpac Waikato Air Ambulance to Waikato Hospital under specialist care from an intensive care retrieval team.
The man, who suffered multiple fractures and chest injuries, was the driver of a van that collided with a group of motorcycles on a charity ride on State Highway 3.
Four other people were badly injured in the crash and remain in Taranaki Base Hospital. Earlier on Saturday a 21-year-old motorcyclist was killed when he crashed head-on with a car on State Highway 2 near Opotiki.
Later on Saturday a man was killed in a three car crash near Ruakaka about 4pm.

More Gills or Eyes? The Purported Increase of Sevengill Shark Populations off the Coast of San Diego
By Ashley R. Kelly August 4th, 2013 at 9:44 am | Comment
Emerging technologies have a profound effect on how citizen scientists conduct their work. An underwater creature of ancient lineage helps to tell this modern story of technology's importance to citizen science. Notorynchus cepedianus, the sevengill shark, of the ancient Hexanchidae family (cow sharks), features seven gill slits and a single dorsal fin, giving a prehistoric visage to this predator. Despite its uncanny appearance, this shark is one that has demonstrated little aggression toward humans, with fewer than five wild attacks accounted for since the 16th century.
In fact, divers have been increasingly encountering these creatures off the coast of San Diego. Harmless as these encounters are, they are spectacular and haunting, as Michael Bear, founder of the Sevengill Shark Tracking Project, would tell you. In the summer of 2009 he experienced the sevengill himself, after hearing rumors of its increased presence in the San Diego coastal area, when a giant seven-foot long (2.1 meters) sevengill glided between him and a dive-buddy. Describing that moment, Bear says that, "it is a humbling experience being in the presence of one of these large, apex predators––they have a grace and a majesty about them that is unforgettable." But are these encounters an indicator of increasing sevengill populations or a product of increased numbers of divers––or perhaps divers with attentive eyes?
For many years few sightings were reported, but more anecdotal reports began to trickle in, and, Bear tells us, the "period that we really began hearing a significant increase in reports was 2009-2010." Bear wanted to know more (and for good reason). The sevengill is a high-order or apex marine predator and therefore may be important to ecological structure, interactions, and ecosystem management (Williams et al., 2011 and 2012). In 2010 Bear's project began to take shape.
The Sevengill Shark Tracking Project is a citizen science effort to collect baseline population data on the sevengill. Though it started out small, the project has grown, partnering with the Shark Observation Network. Now a single global database aggregates data on sightings to help determine baseline population information. Though a study of this kind can take many years, Bear's project already has important insights for citizen science projects, especially in the use of new technologies.
Bear has developed the Sevengill Shark Tracking project's smartphone app, called "Shark Observers." It's available for Android devices and allows divers to log sightings once they've surfaced and, presumably, dried off. While this particularly benefits sevengill tracking, the application actually allows users to submit logs for any kind of shark encounter to the Shark Observation Network database. This application can be downloaded through Google Play.
In addition to the app and database cataloguing the date, time, water temperature, and sightings––with separate databases for photographic and video recordings—the project has also started to use pattern recognition technology to identify individual sharks. This is an inexpensive alternative to costly and labor-intensive shark tagging.
With the I3S pattern recognition algorithm, which is also used for mapping star patterns on Whale Sharks, the sevengill project uses collected high definition photos to track individual sharks by their "freckling" pattern. Using the algorithm, Bear is able to identify the unique patterning on individual sevengill sharks. Eight individuals have been identified and tracked using this method, allowing Bear and other researchers to track the return of these sharks each year. What is crucial for this approach, Bear tells us, "is to have high resolution photographs where the freckling pattern is visible." While crucial, this technological demand is not a significant barrier for most of the diver-citizen scientists, says Bear, since "most divers these days are using hi def cameras anyway."
Since the motivation for Bear's project was to determine baseline populations, knowing more about the number of sharks that are present and returning to the area becomes crucial. Tracking individuals helps to sort out the matter of whether the population of sharks or the population of divers (and therefore reported sightings) is increasing. Securing more data is essential to draw reasonable conclusions about these populations and so the Sevengill Shark Sightings project continues to collect sightings, including those with video and photographic data, submitted by divers in the San Diego area. Specifically, Bear's project is interested in the population data over a 5- to 10-year period, asking whether the population density appears to stay relatively static or if there are notable changes.
In addition to these research interests, science education is built into this citizen science model. Bear hopes to train local divers in identification techniques for the sevengill shark. The Sevengill Shark Sighting project provides an interesting example of how technology can help citizen scientist organize anecdotal data into important scientific datasets.

A Citizen Science Project That Will Make You LOL
By Lily Bui October 9th, 2012 at 9:13 am | Comment
"Laughter is the shortest distance between two people." –Victor Borges
Aristotle posed that laughter is what sets humans apart from other species. Think about it. We love to laugh—at jokes, movies, at each other. We laugh to ease tension, because others are laughing, or simply just because. All right, Aristotle may not have been completely accurate in his theory (given that other species like rats have been discovered to laugh), but there's something embedded in the human spirit that thrives off of giggles, chortles, and chuckles.
"Scientists have also found a neural signature for laughter – when you hear a laugh you activate the same brain regions that you would use to move your own face into a smile. These 'mirror' responses to laughter reflect the fact that when we hear someone laugh, we are primed to join in (even during a brain scan, which is not very amusing!)." –Science Live 2012, Laughing Brains
I present to you The Laughter Project. The Royal Society has put together a playlist of different laughs that you can listen to. The tricky part is that some are real and some are fake. See if you can guess which laugh is real and which is posed. The results will help researchers at the University College of London learn how people react to different sounds.
Professor Sophie Scott, Chair of Cognitive Neuroscience, talks about laughter.
This project is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition, which showcases a plethora of exhibits ranging from animal vision to epigenetics to robotic soccer. If you love the Laughter Project, you'll also want to check out Musical Moods, where you can listen to various songs and decide which mood it best conveys.

Jules Bianchi - 21st/20th: "It has been a good day for us and I have really enjoyed my first experience of Monaco in a Formula 1 car. It was everything I imagined it to be and I am pleased that we have established a good baseline that we can build on during the rest of the weekend. The fact that we have no running tomorrow means that we have more time than usual to focus on the data we have gathered today, so we should be able to draw some good conclusions that will help us to prepare for Saturday and the race."
Max Chilton - 22nd/21st: "This track is amazing in a Formula 1 car and just as exhilarating as I thought it would be. It has been a busy day but we were able to complete the full programme we had planned and I think we are reasonably confident based on what we have seen so far. Once again the big challenge will be managing the tyres through the race but the work we have done today means we have plenty of information to help us make good choices for the race."
John Booth, Team Principal: "Both drivers have had a clean start to their Monaco debut in an F1 car. The programme we set out was based around giving them plenty of laps for circuit familiarisation, along with some more detailed tyre evaluations in FP2. We're reasonably happy with the performance and pace of the car but there is definitely work to do to improve their race pace on the tyres. Fortunately we have the added advantage of an extra day to go through the information we have gathered today and at least we can be happy with the initial pace of the car."

Focus: Law
Law firms getting more flexible on lifestyle issues
Even at practices with work-life policies, pressure remains for lawyers to produce
- Mary K kPratt
Boston, Mass. – Attorney Heidi Goldstein Shepherd decided to cut back on her hours after her first child was born in 2000. She stayed on a reduced schedule after her second child was born three years later.
Shepherd worked four days a week at Goodwin Procter LLP, and although she acknowledged that she worked the long hours typical of lawyers on the days she was in, she did indeed manage to stay out of the office on Wednesdays for several years.
Shepherd's situation wasn't the norm for past generations of lawyers, but her schedule is not only becoming more acceptable, it's becoming a necessary benefit at firms that want to attract and retain professionals who today are more cognizant of work-life balance.
"It's a vital issue for the legal industry," said Mark W. Pearlstein, managing partner of McDermott Will & Emery. "I don't want to suggest that we're operating some sort of summer camp for attorneys. We expect people to work hard. But firms like ours have gotten much better at being sensitive to the need for flexibility and supporting attorneys and staff who have personal needs that require that they don't be at the office all the time."
The issue of balancing professional and personal commitments is not a new challenge to the legal field, nor is it unique to the industry. Although, like many professional service disciplines, the expectations of professionals in the legal field are particularly high and time-sensitive, often making the ability to balance the two sides more challenging than those in other jobs.
But Pearlstein said law firms have been trying to do a better job of getting the balance right for a while. "I came to McDermott 12 years ago and I'd say the difference between then and now is really a difference of degree," he said.

Remember your last high school homecoming? There may have been a huge pep rally where the entire school crammed into the bleachers of the field house. The band played upbeat music, the cheerleaders led the school in joyful chants, and the faculty got up and roused the school to cheer for your team. Well, multiply the number of supporters by a million, add six weeks to the time spent in the field house, and we have Christmas in America!
As we bustle through the malls and shops, we are serenaded by the reminder that this is the time of year we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Every shop seems lavishly dedicated to reminding us that this is that glittery time of year.
Now, the shops in that mall may have their eyes focused on our wallets, but in this most wonderful, hectic, glorious time of year, we may each have our own eyes focused on the real reason for the season. We can view each carol over the PA, each glittery poinsettia, and each silver bell as a reminder that Jesus came to earth as a sacrifice to us, to live among us, and lead us toward the kingdom of heaven. It is our choice.
A pep rally is meant to inspire and encourage us. This year I am turning tables on the commercialism of Christmas to use each and every opportunity, every card sent, ever gift wrapped, every cookie baked, to inspire me and encourage me to remember heaven, and by what means we are able to enter.
Thanks, Macy's, thanks Target, thanks TJ Maxx, for providing the tools for this year's pep rally. The true meaning of Christmas lives on. Have faith.

It's A Catchy Situation
Last week I was a little surprised when the Mets reassigned Robinson Cancel to Minor League camp.
Given how difficult it is for Ramon Castro to stay healthy for an entire season, I thought Cancel would be one of the last guys to go this spring. Cancel did a decent job filling in last year and actually had a couple of big hits for us including down the stretch on September 25th when his RBI in the bottom of the 8th inning tied the game 6-6 against the Cubs, which we won 7-6 in the ninth on a walk-off single by Carlos Beltran.
I asked Bart Hubbuch of the NY Post about the Mets sending down Cancel during his live chat. He replied that the Mets are very concerned about their depth behind Castro, and wanted to look at some of the other catchers in camp.
He added that they already know what they have in Cancel, so they sent him down to get a closer look at Josh Thole, Omir Santos and particularly Rene Rivera who they really like.
I think Thole is still a couple of seasons away, but Santos and Rivera are both intriguing and worth a closer look.
Santos spent seven years toiling in the Yankees organization after being drafted in 21st round of the 2001 Draft. In 2008 he signed as a free agent with the Baltimore Orioles and made his Major League debut, appearing in 11 games for the O's. He is a career .258 hitter in the minors, with an OPS of .649. He homered in the 12-1 win over the Braves on Sunday, but has very little power and would struggle to hit .240 in the majors.
Rene Rivera was also drafted in 2001 like Santos, however he was top pick and selected 49th overall in the second round by the Mariners.
Rivera never quite lived up to his expectations. He made his debut in 2004, but never stuck and bounced up and down for a few years before becoming a free agent and signing with the Mets. He has more power than Santos, but not by much, and he has hit just .227 in 150 major league at-bats. However, he is just 25 and the Mets still see some upside in him.
I see them both as stop-gap measures at backup catcher, but still have higher regard for Robinson Cancel at this point. Cancel is a better hitter, has more power, and even has above average speed. In 2002, he logged 400 AB and hit .281 with 12 HR, 64 RBI and 10 stolen bases. In 2006, he hit 10 homers and drove in 58 while batting .297 in 348 at-bats for the Independent League. He also stole 28 bases. The Mets liked what they saw and signed him.
He hit .264 in '07 for AAA, and was hitting .346 when the Mets called him up last season. He hit his first major league homerun that August and filled in admirably for an injured Ramon Castro.
If the Mets had traded Castro in the off season, I would have been very content with Cancel as the backup.

Vietnam eases visa regime with Azerbaijan
01 November 2013 [10:00] -
Vietnam has simplified its visa regime for Azerbaijani citizens. Azerbaijani citizens will be able to obtain an entry visa at the airport in Vietnam, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
According to the report, the agreement on visa regime simplification was reached after the issue was raised by the Azerbaijani Embassy in Vietnam. It was stressed that the citizens of the country face difficulties in obtaining visas as there is no Vietnamese embassy in Azerbaijan.
According to the new rules, it is sufficient for Vietnamese travel agencies to submit the relevant documents about the trip for issuing visas.

PUNE: In an apparent bid to recapture his party's Marathi sons plank being hijacked by MNS leader Raj Thackeray, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Wednesday targeted Biharis saying they were "an unwanted lot" in all parts of the country.
"They are not wanted in southern India, Assam and also Punjab and Chandigarh. The Biharis have antagonised local population wherever they had settled. The UP-Bihari MPs have shown their ingratitude towards Mumbai and Maharashtra with an anti-Marathi tirade in Parliament," Thackeray said in an editorial in party mouthpiece Saamna .
