New speaker for Tuvalu in the new year?
By Robert Matau
- Topics
- Pacific Update
Expect a new speaker for Tuvalu's parliament if government has its way in the coming by-election.
Tuvalu goes to the poll on January 14 to fill the Namuga seat left vacant by the sick former education, youth and sport minister Dr Falesa Pitoi.
Dr Pitoi was away in Cuba on official duties as then Minister for Education in December 2012, when he was taken ill and flown to various locations for medical treatment. He has not returned to Tuvalu since then.
Governor-General Sir Italeli Iakoba had to use his powers again to call for a by-election for the island of Nanumaga.
This after he consulted a team of medical officials to look into the year-long absence of Dr Pitoi.
Secretary to Government Panapasi Nelesone told ISLANDS BUSINESS that preparations have begun for the by-election after the decision was handed down by the Governor-General.
He said the date for the polls would be January 14. "On the 28th of December the final list of candidates will be compiled and objections will be received and assessed by the returning officer," he said.
"Barring any obstacles, we should be heading for a January 14 polling date."
Enele Sopoaga's government is hoping to win the by-election, so that it can have the two-thirds majority required under its constitution to move a motion to remove Speaker Sir Kamuta Latasi.
Government has been unhappy with the Speaker particularly his handling of parliamentary business.
Latasi had refused to entertain a vote of no confidence against then Prime Minister Willie Telavi last year after then Opposition Leader Sopoaga gained a majority in parliament.

Film Review: 'Dallas Buyers Club' Becomes A Haven For People With AIDS In The 1980s
In 1985, just a handful of years into the AIDS epidemic, if someone appeared gaunt, splotchy, and paper-thin, it was suspected that they had contracted HIV. Though gay men made up a large percentage of those infected, the virus was transmitted via body fluids like blood and semen - with no regards to sexual orientation. Still, any man who contracted HIV during that Age of Ignorance was branded a contagious homosexual. As was Ron Woodroof, the profligately heterosexual rodeo cowboy robustly played by Matthew McConaughey in Dallas Buyers Club.
Woodroof is a lover, drinker, and a brawler who, after a home accident, discovers from a medical team (Denis O'Hare and Jennifer Garner) that he is HIV-positive. Despite his emaciated body and persistent nausea, he insists the tests are wrong and lets loose a profane, homophobic rant to anyone within earshot that he is not, never has been "a faggot." He can almost be forgiven, though, as the country at that time consistently put AIDS patients in categories that conveniently fit their own sense of well-being.
The drug AZT was just starting trials and Woodroof learns from the Garner character that, should he be enrolled, there's no guarantee he'd not be given a placebo. He resists that dice throw by stealing AZT through a handsomely paid hospital orderly. And when that stash runs out, he goes to Mexico to consult with a disbarred doctor (Griffin Dunne), coming home (disguised as a priest) with a trunk-full of proteins, vitamins, and medications not yet approved in the United States.
He learns gradually that he's not alone (nor needs to be) in feeling trapped on the wrong end of an hourglass and starts to commiserate with the gay men he's always hated. He establishes a "buyers club" at a local motel and, with an unexpected ally, an HIV-positive transgendered woman named Rayon (a passionately committed Jared Leto), is soon overseeing the drug regimens of hundreds of club "members." Though he insists that he's not dealing drugs but selling memberships, and that the drugs aren't illegal, merely unapproved, the Federal Drug Administration becomes his enemy.
Energetically and creatively directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, the film has a few gaps in logic (like the source of Woodroof's ceaselessly deep pockets) and it meets hurdles where the medical jargon is cumbersome or the history a bit wobbly. But McConaughey and Leto are to be commended for their sense of commitment to and embrace of Ron's and Rayon's character flaws (like their mutual drug use) and decimated physiques. Both actors lost over 40 pounds each on frames that weren't all that meaty to begin with; Leto especially looks skeletal. By the conclusion, neither man is necessarily a hero, saint or martyr. But no one can say they didn't try to help others stranded in the same sinking boat.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

What Causes Morning Sickness
Baby Bump: What Causes Morning Sickness
Morning sickness can last for one day or nine months. Mamas-to-be may experience waves of nausea or hours of vomiting. And, most women are curious to know what causes the sickness. In many studies, researchers test or compare human behavior to animals. Fortunately for other living reproductive animals, humans appear to be the only species that get ill during the expecting months, which has made it tough to decipher the cause.
To see what researchers think may cause morning sickness, read more.
In the July issue of the journal American Naturalist, Samuel Flaxman and his colleague Paul Sherman said morning sickness is triggered in these specific circumstances:
- The sight, smell, or taste of meats and strong-tasting vegetables, which were historically likely to contain foodborne microbes or birth-defect-inducing chemicals
- Alcohol and cigarette smoke.
The researchers believe the mother's body is naturally alerting her to stay away from harmful agents, thereby protecting the growing embryo.
While all of this sounds good, I have to wonder about the rest of us that didn't deal with the dreaded sickness. While pregnant with my daughter, I almost craved nausea because it made me feel secure. Having breezed through pregnancy and ended up with a healthy babe, I would never do that again.

A fast sighting device adapted for convenient substitution in place of a conventional rear rifle sight comprising a rectangular support including a ceramic magnet supported on an eccentric cam on the interior thereof. A support further includes a front and rear locating pin, the front pin being disposed for longitudinal translation within an elongate opening, said front and rear pins being dimensioned to accommodate the conventional mounting holes for the substituted sight. Extending from the rear end of the support is a circular, vertically aligned, sight orifice, threaded on the interior over the rear segment thereof for receiving a retainer cap compressing a sight disc or other sighting device therebetween. It is intended to form the support and the sight aperture from a nonmagnetic material such as plastic, the disposition of the ceramic magnetic therein being adjustable by the eccentric cam to achieve either a contiguous alignment with the rifle barrel or a separated alignment for removal.
1. A sighting device adapted for convenient substitution for a rear sight assembly attached by way of a fore and aft tapped opening in the barrel structure of a fire arm, comprising:
a rectangularly shaped support fixture which includes a central cavity on the interior thereof communicating to the exterior across a first lateral surface of said fixture, and a fore and aft cavity respectively formed in said fixture in longitudinal relationship adjacent said central cavity;
a ceramic magnet conformed for sliding receipt in said central cavity, including a transverse bore formed thereacross;
a lever assembly mounted for pivotal motion across said central cavity and including an eccentrically disposed center segment conformed for receipt in said transverse bore;
a support plate including a longitudinal slot receipted in said fore cavity in substantially parallel alignment with said first lateral surface, said longitudinal slot being disposed in longitudinal alignment relative said fixture;
a forward pin received for translation within said longitudinal slot and extending for insertion in said fore tapped opening;
an aft pin attached within said rear cavity and extending for receipt within said aft tapped opening; and
a sighting aperture assembly formed on said fixture in adjacent proximity relative said aft pin.
2. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein:
said sighting aperture assembly comprises a sighting ring extending normally above said fixture in substantially opposing relationship to said aft pin, a sighting disc receivable within said sighting ring, and a threadably engaged retainer received in said sighting ring for compressing said disc therebetween.
3. Apparatus according to claim 2 wherein:
said first lateral surface of said fixture is conformed to mate with the subjacent exterior surface of said fire arm.
4. Apparatus according to claim 3 wherein:
said ceramic magnet is dimensioned for vertical articulation within said central cavity according to the eccentric motion of said center segment, the exterior surface of said magnet being formed to align with said first lateral surface when said lever assembly is in a first state and being withdrawn into the interior of said central cavity when said lever assembly is in a second state.
5. Apparatus according to claim 4 wherein:
said lever assembly includes a manually articulated lever on the exterior of said fixture disposed for articulation between said first and second states.
6. Apparatus according to claim 5 wherein:
said fixture lever assembly, and sighting aperture all comprise nonmagnetic structure.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to fire arm sighting devices, and more particularly to removable sights adapted for quick interchange.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In many competitive events involving fire arms there is often the requirement of varying the sighting aspects thereof. Typically an event may comprise various aiming positions and often a fast sighting task is combined therewith. Heretofore most target fire arms were provided with either open or peep hole sights at the rear which are primarily adapted for accurate and deliberate sighting and are less than optimal in fast sighting applications. Shooting towards a moving object, in particular, requires a substantially different sighting system then that entailed in still target use. The participant therefore will have to carry a complement of fire arms each specifically directed to a particular sighting application, and each furthermore requiring the accuracy of shot and therefore the high tolerances of a precision fire arm. Heretofore any flexibility of use of such high precision fire arms has been achieved by way of various sights. which because of their mounting complexity entail elaborate attachment sequences, most of the effort being expended in the design of the sighting aperture itself rather than in the attachment. Quick removal feature were mostly incorporated in telescopic sight mount and even in those instances close machining tolerances were required in the mating surfaces between the mount and the fire arm and elaborate provisions were included in the attachment thereof.
Accordingly, it is the general purpose and object of the present invention to provide a conveniently interchangeable sighting device for a firearm which in its structural detail includes provisions adapted to accommodate various sight fastening patterns.
Further objects of the invention are to provide a rear sight substitute adapted for use in fast sighting applications.
Yet additional objects of the invention are to provide a rear sight assembly magnetically secured to the barrel of a fire arm.
Yet further objects of the invention are to provide a fast sighting substitute for the conventional open sight of a firearm which is easily mounted and removed.
Yet additional objects of the invention are to provide a replaceable sighting fixture which is conveniently used, requires few parts and is therefore simple in manufacture.
Briefly these and other objects are accomplished within the present invention by providing a hollow rectangularly shaped support fixture including a rectangular cavity on the interior thereof. Received within the rectangular cavity is a ceramic magnet similarly rectangular in dimension, the size of the ceramic magnetic being smaller than the transverse dimensions of the cavity. An eccentric lever-actuated cam extends through the fixture, passing the cam surface thereof through a lateral opening in the ceramic magnet. By virtue of this cam-lever combination, the ceramic magnet may be articulated within the cavity between a withdrawn position and an extended position where the exterior surface of the magnet is aligned in a common plane with the supporting surface of the fixture.
It is intended to convolve the exterior surface of the fixture and similarly the exposed surface of the ceramic magnet along a convolution conformed to the exterior of a firearm barrel. To this end it is to be noted that most firearms of same caliber assume substantially equal exterior surface form and the fixture including the ceramic magnet is therefore universally adaptable to a wide range of applications. To provide for an accurate longitudinal alignment of the fixture on the exterior of the barrel it is further intended to include a front and rear locating pin extending downwardly along the front and rear edges of the ceramic magnet, the forward locating pin being mounted in a longitudinal slide for fore and aft translation. It is these pins that are aligned for receipt within the fastener bores normally found on the rifle barrel, the bores being provided thereat for securing the conventional open rear sights. It is therefore intended to utilize the fixture summarized above in substitution for the open sight normally found on the firearm, the ceramic magnet and the locating pin providing the necessary fixation of the fixture thereon.
Formed on the rear end of the fixture and extending distally away from the joining surface thereof, is a circular aperture provided with an inwardly threaded segment over one section thereof. Received within the aperture is a sighting disc or similar sighting device which is secured thereat by an externally threaded ring dimensioned for receipt within the aperture.
It is furthermore contemplated to utilize non-magnetic materials for the structure of the support fixture and the sighting aperture, plastic material like nylon reenforced with glass being found particularly useful for the purposes herein. In this manner, a sighting device, relatively inexpensive in manufacture, can be provided extending the use of a firearm in competition, and furthermore extending the use of a precision firearm to hunting applications or similar uses where sighting towards a moving target is contemplated.
FIG. 1 is a perspective illustration of an inventive sliding device shown installed in the rear sight position on a conventional firearm;
FIG. 2 is a side view, in section taken along line 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a detail side view in section illustrating the articulation implemented in the inventive sighting device disclosed herein; and
FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the sighting device constructed according to the present invention.
While the following description illustrates, with specificity, the use of the inventive sighting' device as a rear sight of a rifle, such is exemplary only. It is to be understood that uses other than those expressly illustrated can be achieved by the features disclosed herein and no intent to limit the scope of the invention is expressed by the illustrations chosen.
As shown in FIG. 1 the sighting device 10 is disposed at the rear sight location proximate the receiver of a conventional firearm 50. Included in the device 10 is a support fixture 11 substantially rectangular along all surfaces and conformed on the mating surface 12 thereof to the exterior convolutions of the barrel 51 of firearm 50. Extending from one lateral surface of the fixture 11 is a manually articulated lever 15 adapted to provide the securing and releasing actuation. Included further on the exterior of fixture 11, at the rear end thereof is a circular sight aperture 20 comprising a ring 21 attached to the fixture 11 supporting a sight disc 22 secured on the interior of the ring by a threaded insert 23. Various other sighting devices may be substituted for disc 22 for example devices like filters or other optical devices may be installed either in combination or in interchange for this disc, the installation features being fully adapted to accommodate any combination. The disc 22 will preferably be colored yellow for clarity of the target in a fading light such as in late afternoon. When shooting is being done in early morning, the sight disc will be clear and transparent. If shooting is being done in full sunlight it is desired that the sight disc 22 be made from a "Polaroid" sheet material. In lieu of the sight disc 22 being colored, filters or light modifying devices of the type above-described may be removably mounted in the ring and held in abutting contact with the sight disc 22 by the insert 23.
As shown in more detail in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 fixture 11 includes a first or central cavity 31 bounded on the lateral sides by the lateral surfaces of the fixture and in the fore and aft direction by a front and rear separating wall 32 and 33 respectively. Walls 32 and 33 are recessed at the exterior edges thereof below the edges of the fixture 11, the separation in the fore and aft direction therebetween being somewhat greater than the longitudinal dimension of a rectangular ceramic magnet 35. Magnet 35, in turn, includes a transverse bore 36 extending laterally thereacross conformed to receive an eccentric cam or eccentrically displaced rod 37 extending from a pivot 38 connected to the lever 15. It is thus by virtue of the rotation of pivot 38 that an upward and downward manipulation of the magnet 35 can be achieved. As stated previously the exterior dimensions of fixture 11 are conformed along a surface 12 convolved for mating fit with the exterior of barrel 51. To this end, fixture 11 is shown to include a front and rear end plate 16 and 17 respectively end plate 16 together with the separating wall 32 forming a second or forward cavity 39, while end plate 17 and wall 33, in turn, define a rear or third cavity 41. Disposed within cavity 39 and extending longitudinally between the end wall 16 and the separating wall 32 is a horizontal slotted plate 42 including a longitudinal slot 43 aligned longitudinally with the fixture 11, slot 43 retaining a pin 44 including an enlarged cap 45 disposed between plate 42 and the upper surface of fixture 11. In order to provide convenience in assembly of the pin 44 on the interior of the fixture, both the end plate 16 and the separating wall 32 each include an opposing dovetail cutout respectively shown as cutouts 46 and 47, the ends of plate 42 being similarly cut on a taper to be thus press fit into the corresponding cutouts with the pin in position.
By virtue of this arrangement of parts, the fore and aft motion of pin 44 is assured allowing for the compensation in the distance separating this pin from yet another pin 48 extending downwardly within cavity 41 to similarly project beyond the surface 12. Pins 44 and 48 are conformed for receipt in the tapped opening in barrel 51, shown as openings 52 and 53 respectively, which have been previously utilized to support the conventional open rear sight of the firearm. Thus by virtue of this arrangement fixture 11 may be placed in position over the openings previously utilized to support the conventional open sight with a subsequent articulation of the lever 15, dropping by the eccentric motion of cam 37 the ceramic magnet 35 to contact the barrel 51. In this position, maximum flux levels are achieved between the magnet and the barrel providing the maximum retaining forces. Should removal be desired the actuation of lever 15 provides the necessary eccentric motion to separate the magent from its prior contiguous contact, reducing the flux level and therefore reducing the restraining forces to permit removal.
In order to provide for freedom of motion for the magnet 35 as set out, it is intended to utilize materials like plastics or nylon for the structure of fixture 11 and the sliding aperture 20. The convenience of plastic is well recognized in the art allowing great freedom in manufacture and an attendant low cost.
This same manufacturing process may provide for the concurrent forming of the sight ring 21 which may then be subsequently machined to provide an interiorly threaded segment 24 and a shoulder 25 for supporting the sight disc. The retainer 23 may be made as a casting including an exteriorly threaded segment 26 conformed to mate with the threads in segment 24. Thus the single machining process forming the shoulder 25 achieves all the necessary corrections in alignment necessary for the desired accuracy.
Should better tolerances be found achievable in the course of the forming of the sight even these machining steps may be avoided. The alignment of sight aperture 20 in close proximity with pin 48 reduces the requirement of high longitudinal tolerances, thus adopting the best advantages, of geometry to reduce production cost.
Obviously many modifications and variations to the above disclosure can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is therefore intended that the scope of the invention be determined solely dependent on the claims hereto.

MONROE COUNTY, Pa. -- A shooting during a meeting at a northeastern Pennsylvania municipal building has left three people dead.
A witness says the gunman blasted through a wall before a local official tackled him and shot him with his own gun.
Monroe County emergency management director Guy Miller says the shooting happened Monday evening during Ross Township's regular monthly meeting. He says the gunman has been captured and is in state police custody in a hospital.
A state police dispatcher in Lehighton confirms three people are dead.
The Pocono Record says one of its reporters was in the township building and a gunman armed with a pistol with a scope shot through a wall into the meeting, which was being held about 85 miles north of Philadelphia.
Miller says injured people have been flown to hospitals.

Last offseason, the Broncos signed undrafted rookie Quincy McDuffie to try out for the team as a receiver and return specialist. He had been named a Sports Illustrated All-American as a kick returner, which put him up against returner/receiver Trindon Holliday in a battle of the bantams.
In the end, both the contest and the position went to Holliday, and thankfully so: through five weeks, he already has touchdowns on both punt and kick returns. He's consistently exciting as a returner and often extends his returns - getting back to the the 35 is a short return for him.
When he does bring it out, he's averaging 37.7 yards, on six returns; the former NCAA track champion has an amazing four touchdowns among his last 26 returns.

Rahim 'The Dream' Moore has put his catastrophic error from last year's season-ending playoff loss behind him, but still uses it for motivation. Moore said on Monday that he'd picked up some things that he wants to focus on in his play, including improving his angles and route recognition.
His hit on Dallas Clark in the third quarter of the opener against Baltimore showed just how aggressive and effective Moore can become. Peyton Manning's constant efforts to improve has created a special kind of energy that's rubbed off on the entire locker room. This is a team that doesn't care about who starts: they just care about winning.
Moore and the other safeties have internalized that. The ferocity of Duke Ihenacho and David Bruton (who added a hit and a hurry to his punt block) playing alongside him hasn't hurt. This is a very tough group of defensive backs.
Continue reading "A Second Helping of Rahim Moore against the Ravens (Week 1)"
Denver's preseason-opening win at San Francisco featured just one touchdown - a fumble forced by Nate Irving and returned to paydirt by Shaun Phillips. Considering that these are the two players that may be most impacted by a possible suspension of Von Miller, I thought this would be a good play to look at.
The play starts at 7:28 of the second quarter; SF has been backed up by a good punt by Britton Colquitt and a penalty on the return, but a missed tackle by Omar Bolden on a pass to Kassim Osgood has them in 2nd and 1.
Many teams will try a long pass in that down and distance, counting on a third down run if needed to convert the first down. Instead, still deep in his own zone, Scott Tolzien hands off to D.J. Harper (36) for a run play around left tackle, and the whole game changes.

Second-year Denver linebacker Danny Trevathan is hoping to continue and increase his repetitions with starter Wesley Woodyard on nickel downs. Trevathan took some snaps last season with the radio helmet when Woodyard was injured, but his normal role is to match with Woodyard (who usually wears the radio) in the nickel/base formation.
If Woodyard is injured, Trevathan will be likely to step into Woodyard's roles, with one of the other linebackers stepping into Trevathan's.
Trevathan's work showed up in the pivotal Week 6 game in San Diego last year, where the Broncos snoozed through the first half, handing over a couple of fumbles and spotting the Bolts a 24-point lead. Yet San Diego found they'd awakened a sleeping giant when the gun sounded for the second half.

Yesterday me and the boys were kickin' it down at IAOFM headquarters (which is twice as cool as Kickin' It headquarters), when we received several emails linking us to a film review of Champ Bailey's subpar play from 2012. The cat who wrote this piece, Uptown Murf, supposedly watched film of Bailey's 2012 play and came to the conclusion that Bailey is no longer a #1 corner:
For the 2012 season, Champ Bailey finished with 66 tackles, 2 Int's, and 9 passes defensed. I give him a C for his overall play. He did some great things, and brings a tremendous amount of experience to the Broncos secondary. Unfortunately at this point in his career, (Based off 2012 film) I believe he's no longer a number 1 corner. He doesn't necessarily need to switch positions, but he should primarily face the #2 receiver on each team.
In order to provide proof of this conclusion, the article cut up several plays in which Bailey was toasted last year for long gains, including plays against Vincent Jackson, Andre Johnson, and A.J. Green.
Fortunately for Broncos fans, it's not true.
PFF's Ben Stockwell writes in great depth today about Von Miller's remarkable pass rush skills. From his piece:
What Miller achieved this year was simply astonishing — to be that prolific, show such improvement in one facet of his skills as a pass rusher, and be so close to perfectly balanced as a pass rusher. Miller got pressure inside of opposing pass protectors as often as anyone, and got pressure outside of pass protectors as often as anyone. Combine that with an ability to just drive straight through a pass rusher on a bullrush (1 Sk, 1 Ht, 6 Hu) when needed, and the energy and awareness to clean up plays when the pocket breaks (12 pressures including four sacks in clean up and pursuit) and you have nothing short of the ideal pass rusher. I'm not sure how you improve on what Miller did this season, and his biggest challenge is doing it with even more expected from him, and without Elvis Dumervil on the other side. The fascinating battle will be whether his opponents can focus one (or two) men in on him, or whether the role in which the Broncos deploy him will allow him to continue to cause mayhem against a plethora of blockers.

By now, you know the hideously grotesque details.
The 2012 Denver Broncos--who had effectively ruptured the spleen of their opponents on eleven straight occasions--were 41 seconds away from hosting its first AFC Championship since 2005.
Their opponents, the Baltimore Ravens--a team featuring more centenarians than the Sardinian Blue Zone--were coming off just six days of rest; they'd just played through almost four quarters of penis-shriveling cold at an altitude of five thousand, two hundred, and eighty feet; they stupidly had no timeouts; the noise of the Denver crowd was so loud it was rumored to have shattered the eardrums of the rotund (meaning a lot of inner-ear fat) Peter King.

Before the Broncos' epic meltdown last week, there were two interviews that, in retrospect, foreshadowed the chess match between Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio and Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell--a chess match that, at least early in the game, Caldwell pressed his unforseen advantage.
The first was an interview with Joe Flacco on the Dan Patrick show, in which Flacco asserted that the key to a Ravens victory would be establishing the run. While that's not exactly a news flash--we all knew the Ravens wanted to run the ball--it confirmed again in the minds of fans and likely the Broncos coaches the perception that the Ravens were going to give the Broncos a healthy dose of Ray Rice and rookie sensation Bernard Pierce.
And why wouldn't they? The dirtly little secret that emerged from watching film of the first matchup between the teams was that the Ravens, after stumbling on their first three drives, experienced a brief window in which they were indeed running the ball well against Denver. In a series of three consecutive plays in the second quarter, the Ravens ripped off runs of four, fourteen, and fifteen yards. The drive stalled on a penalty, or it's likely the Ravens would have scored. After that, the running game was generally abandoned by the Ravens because the Broncos got up in the game by two scores.

ANALYSIS - Rich face triple aid test on environment, poverty
BONN, Germany
BONN, Germany (Reuters) - Struggling with budget cuts at home, rich nations face scrutiny in 2010 of a triple set of pledges to help poor nations combat climate change, curb poverty and safeguard endangered species.
Demands totalling tens of billions of dollars in extra aid come at a difficult time, especially for the debt-stricken euro zone whose members struggled to agree a bailout package for fellow member Greece.
"We have to watch it very carefully," said Yvo de Boer, the U.N.'s top climate official, of a 2009 promise by rich nations at the Copenhagen summit to provide an extra $10 billion a year from 2010-12 to help poor states combat global warming.
Many developing nations at climate talks in Bonn from May 31-June 11 doubt the promised money will materialise, even though payouts could raise confidence in a step towards unblocking a treaty to slow floods, droughts, storms and rising sea levels.
"This is not new. This is not additional, this is from the pipeline, from traditional development assistance," said Quamrul Islam Chowdhury of Bangladesh, main negotiator for the Group of 77 poor nations at the 185-nation meeting.
"We want no double counting, we want a fair and transparent process," he said of the fast-start Copenhagen funds.
In addition to climate funds, rich nations will be under pressure at a U.N. summit in New York in September to meet promises of extra aid to halve extreme poverty as part of the 2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
As part of the MDGs, the Group of Eight industrialised nations is to promise aid to protect maternal health and children at a summit in Canada in late June. The G8 is under pressure to meet a so far unkept G8 promise from 2005 to double aid to Africa by 2010.
Finally, a meeting of the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity in Japan in October is due to promise a sharp rise in cash to protect animal and plant life, now about $3 billion a year by 2020. Experts say a twenty-fold increase may be needed.
A worry is that a donor could provide $1 million to protect a carbon-absorbing forest and then claim that the same cash is safeguarding biodiversity and helping achieve the MDGs by helping local people.
"We are worried that money is accounted in the wrong way," said Norway's Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, who heads an international U.N. panel looking at ways to find $100 billion a year from 2020 to help poor nations combat climate change.
"We have to ensure transparency," he said.
Susan Brown, acting director of global and regional policy at WWF International, said investments in biodiversity and climate were vital to ensure a healthy environment, including the world's food supplies.
"This year there will be calls for new money from developed countries, and calls for new commitments by developing countries. Between that there is an awful lot of politics and smoke and mirrors," she said.
One problem is that developing nations say "new and additional" funds need to be above an unkept promise made in the 1970s by rich nations to provide at least 0.7 percent of their gross national income (GNI) in aid.
Many developed nations say "new and additional" means above existing levels. Stoltenberg said the definition for the $100 billion from 2020 still had to be worked out.
Net aid disbursements in 2008 totalled $119 billion, the highest dollar figure ever and equivalent of 0.3 percent of GNI, according to U.N. data. Promises at the G8 Gleneagles summit in 2005 implied that aid would increase from $80 billion to $130 billion in 2010, at 2004 prices.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development says it uses "markers" to try to track environmental aid -- it estimates that $3.5 billion a year went to climate, $3 billion to biodiversity and $1.5 billion to desertification in 2006-07.
And it says it is hard to untangle.
"It's like a meal -- you have nutrition, you have health and you have enjoyment," said Remi Paris, a senior OECD official. "There is an enormous amount of overlap."

The fact is, multi-tenancy is the core foundation of modern Software-as-a-Service and shouldn't be brushed aside, generalized, or massaged into something that suits a vendor's self-serving interpretation of SaaS. Having experienced first-hand the true benefits of multi-tenant SaaS, I can't conceptualize how SaaS would have delivered those benefits if it wasn't multi-tenant. SaaS that isn't truly multi-tenant is likely just hosted ERP software applications, no matter how much the vendor tries to dress it up as something else.
Furthermore, it's just common sense to closely scrutinize claims of multi-tenant software from traditional software companies. Modern SaaS companies (Workday, Salesforce.com, Xactly, Kenexa, and others) were developed from the ground up to support multi-tenancy. From a technical standpoint, these are proven multi-tenant solutions, having years of market maturity and customer feedback and involvement. The underlying foundation of multi-tenant SaaS is applications built for multi-tenancy. Otherwise, a lot of backward engineering may be required to make a traditional software stack support multi-tenancy.snip*Faster Innovations. The multi-tenancy concept derives from the same idea as people living in a condominium building—the building management provides services to all tenants, and as it improves services all tenants benefit. Multi-tenancy ensures that every customer is on the same version of the software, so no customer is left behind when the software is updated to include new features and innovations. What's more, SaaS companies can deliver market innovations more quickly because they're not dealing with that disruptive practice of upgrading ERP systems every several years. This is especially important now, with users' increased expectations in the areas of mobility, consumer-like features, social media-type functionality, and more.
*Stronger Communities and Collaboration. A single software version also creates an unprecedented sense of community where customers and partners share knowledge, resources, and learning. A Workday user conference is an entirely different experience than a traditional software conference because the community for sharing is limitless as everyone is on the same version. Even better, your time is spent talking about new functionality that can drive business productivity and innovation, rather than sharing tips on how to avoid a high-cost software upgrade.
*Lower-Cost Model. A multi-tenant SaaS provider's resources are focused on maintaining a single, current version of the application, rather than spread out in an attempt to support multiple software versions for customers. How can a SaaS provider host thousands of single-tenant versions of the software while keeping its costs in line? It can't. Guess who'll end up paying for those costs?
*Vendor-Managed Updates. Multi-tenancy makes it possible for the provider to update a single version of the software, often several times a year, for all customers. And these updates should be provided at no additional charge. The customer is relieved from IT upgrade projects, while the vendor can focus on what it does best, which is maintain its own software.
Those are the top benefits of multi-tenancy, but in fact, multi-tenancy is interwoven into many aspects and benefits of real SaaS. To gain a broader picture of what true SaaS is comprised of, read my blog "10 Critical Requirements for Cloud Applications."

Review this game
Dec 24, 2013Some odd omissions like not utilising the right analogue stick and no rear view whatsoever. When I was called into the pits for the first time the entry was blocked by a long line of stuck cars! I like the handling and the graphics are quite good except for wet weather racing when wheel spray pops into view suddenly at certain distances. Frame rate seems good. Could have been much better and disappointing overall, but I like it nonetheless.… Expand
Sep 6, 2013A solid Formula 1 game. Sure more could be added to it but in terms of handling and sheer fun with all your favorite tracks i can't ask for much more.
It's a good game. And very good multiplayer mode. But could improve the career mode and the action in pit-stops. The Challenger mode is excellent way to improve the abilities.
Feb 13, 2013I haven't played the console version, but I still can't understand why this game isn't getting more love. I've owned it since release and still have a ton of fun with it. The controls are spot on, yeah the graphics could be better. There is no lag a ton of action going on, and the courses are rendered nicely. If this game had online play it would be perfect, if you love F1 racing don't hesitate to buy this game. You'll have hours and hours of enjoyment.… Expand
Jan 2, 2013As an F1 fan, I enjoyed this game, though I would prefer a true simulation than part sim/part arcade this game delivers a playable experience which has provided many hours of entertainment. For my full review, please go to www.psvitaplus.com
Mar 14, 2012Probably the only purchase I've made for the Vita so far. I have the PC version which I really like and hav played a lot. I wasn't expecting anything groundbreaking for the Vita version, but I was expecting something a bit better than this. Seeing as the Vita has 2 analogue sticks I don't know why we have to suffer an on/off acceleration and braking system. It really does spoil the game. I can understand some limitations of the device but there was no need to cut out most of the full version's presentation features and this makes the whole experience less personal and does not give any kind of gratification after winning a race. The AI are pretty awful also. As Zeng says before me, I don't think I'll be buying another racing game on the Vita unless a decent GT comes out, and not a version that sucks like the PSP one did. Buy if you are a hardcore fan who just has to own the game, but it's not something worth the price tag of thirty quid if you ask me!… Expand
Mar 4, 2012For the fans of the series and those who just like racing games in general, it's a great game. But personally I'll wait for something like Gran Turismo to come outt on the Vita.
It's a good game. And very good multiplayer mode. But could improve the career mode and the action in pit-stops. The Challenger mode is excellent way to improve the abilities.
May 5, 2012F1 2011 could have been so much more. We can't complain in terms of content and online functionalities, but why does it look like a port of a PSP-title and slide the cars across the road like they're driving on ice? You'll learn to deal with this last flaw, but it does greatly diminish the racing experience.
Apr 17, 2012Has everything you expect from a formula game, but it is way too easy - the AI is too slow even in the hard-level. Textures are quite ugly, too. [Apr 2012]
Apr 11, 2012In the end the experience of piloting an F1 car around the world's premiere race tracks isn't here. This is one racer that gets the black and white flag for bad behavior. [April 2012, p74]

I am so sad to hear that Golden S turned into what it did. We adopted our dog through Golden S five years ago and had a terrific experience. We received our dog's full medical history, abuse and rescue story as well as a follow up story regarding the person who abused her. Rodney delivered her to us... more »
Woah. So glad to hear this person was arrested. Dealing with this place was an absolute nightmare. I'm sure we must've done a little research before adopting, but apparently not enough! First of all, my husband and I were in the process of moving into a new house. We had an elderly jack russell ... more »
I tried to adopt a dog from Golden S and initially received great lip service about when the delivery would be. The date kept slipping and as time went by, Rodney became less and less helpful to the point of being rude and insulting when I finally asked for my $200 deposit back after almost one ... more »
