Canterbury chief executive Raelene Castle has defended her handling of the Andrew Fifita contract saga, revealing the NRL has cleared the club of any wrongdoing.
Fifita has signed a lucrative four-year contract with Cronulla but the fallout from the deal which fell over with the Bulldogs continues to make headlines.
Details of the memorandum of understanding – which would have made him the highest-paid Bulldog in history – and sections of the contract he signed with the Bulldogs have been leaked.
While the MOU outlined a deal worth $800,000 a year and $3.2 million in total, the Nine Network aired parts of that and the contract proper, which stipulated he would earn $375,000 next year, $425,000 in 2016, $650,000 in 2017 and $675,000 in the final year. That amounts to more than $1 million less than the agreed amount.
Castle, whose signature was on the contract, is comfortable with how the matter has been handled at her end.
"The NRL are comfortable with the documentation we have provided and will not be taking any further investigations," Castle said.
"We won't play out our commercial discussions in the media. We always work to handle everything professionally at every level.
"I continue to point to the joint press release in which they were comfortable with the situation, it was approved by them and included a quote from them when it was sent."
Castle's last remark refers to a joint statement issued late last month which revealed the transfer wouldn't happen, despite both parties previously trumpeting the ''signing'' news.
In that statement, Castle said: "After signing a memorandum of understanding with Andrew we've not been able to agree on the final terms of his NRL playing contract and have ceased negotiations with his management.
"We wish Andrew all the best for the future. Andrew's now free to go and look at rugby union if that's what he wants to do.''
Fifita's management group, I.am Athlete management, added: "Andrew is disappointed that we could not finalise terms with the Bulldogs but we still have several options to explore."
Since then, it's been suggested Fifita's legal team would sue the Bulldogs for lost earnings.
"They are not suing us, we have not received any formal legal advice from Fifita's management," Castle said.
High-level playing contracts such as the one offered to Fifita usually include three elements – the portion paid under the salary cap, the marquee player allowance and the third-party agreements. Under salary cap rules the latter cannot be guaranteed by clubs. However, it's understood all Bulldogs players promised TPAs have received those entitlements over the past five years and the club was confident Fifita would receive all monies promised in the MOU.
The club will now channel its energies on other recruitment and retention priorities, including skipper Michael Ennis and promising prop Lloyd Perrett, who are both off contract at the end of the year. The latter will be representing Queensland in the NYC State of Origin clash on Saturday despite the fact his brother, Bulldogs fullback Sam, represents New Zealand.
"I put a bit of pressure on myself, I knew what people would think of me if I chose Australia when my brother plays for New Zealand," Perrett said.
"At the end of the day, my mentors at the Bulldogs and my dad said the only person I need to answer for myself is me. I'm happy with the decision I made so I can represent where I grew up."
Asked about the prospect of one day opposing Sam in a Test match, Perrett said: "That would be crazy. It would be pretty cool, I'm not sure if it's ever been done before. That would be an awesome experience."

Airport Employee is Now Accredited Airport Executive
John Pokryfke
To qualify for this distinction, the new AAEs had to pass a detailed examination, satisfy a writing requirement and demonstrate, in the final interview by a panel of AAEs, their knowledge of airport management, business administration and general transportation economics. By fulfilling all the requirements leading to the title of AAE, the new executive members join a select group of individuals who have earned this designation. At present, fewer than 10 percent of AAAE's members throughout the country have earned this distinction. Pokryfke has been with the Aviation Department for 18 years.

New video shows off the best of the LG G2's features
0. phoneArena posted on 28 Aug 2013, 01:32
Korean manufacturer LG has done a stellar job with the LG G2, making it easily one of the most anticipated smartphone models available going into the last few months of the year; it is more than just having the power and volume buttons on the rear. The LG G2 is the culmination of the building of the LG Optimus G, LG Optimus G Pro and now the LG G2...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

It's a nice phone it really is. i personally prefer the s cover than LG's quick window cover, but interesting approach with the different shape and functionalities. the back design doesn't catch my interest much, but the buttons are neat and i'd be curious to try it out to see if it is actually more convenient than where they are normally placed on other devices.
26. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
I would still prefer the design of LG Optimus G over G2's design.
They could have kept the same Premium build as Optimus G but as a flagship G2 feels very cheap in hands. Also I believe LG is going in the same direction as Sammy and they are improving a lot in Software side.

A very nice phone.
3. scumbledEGG (unregistered)
hope they will make windows os with this! haha! G2 ANDROID FOR MY WIFE AND G2 WP8 FOR ME... :)
11. Doakie (Posts: 2227; Member since: 06 May 2009)
Wait. You're laughing that you'll take the gimped OS? I mean the lack of first class apps is unbearable.
20. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
completely agree and the lack of main features...
4. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
really great phone. sony, why can't you have these features? why obsess over waterproofing? you're honami has very thick bezels but it does not even have an IR blaster. darn! you're even using that awful wallpaper that makes your display look inferior to china phones.

Not yet released!!fanboy's dont have a life!!
15. pocketdrummer (Posts: 32; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
Which doesn't matter because it still falls under phablet territory. So, yes, that's thin. But, it's basically pointless because you'll never use it with one hand.
27. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
If your hands are tiny don't buy it then.
Before you write something here do a little research that you can set any device from Note series for Single handed operation. It could be either right or left.
32. heyhi (Posts: 131; Member since: 19 Feb 2013)
the size of the phone gets smaller overall, you can put bigger screens in to smaller packages.
also, it looks nicer to see...it seems that you have a bigger screen than the actual size.

K enough of the ridiculousness. Where is that juicy CONFIRMED september 12th release date? If it isn't here by then i will be upset / dissapointed
13. goprochyo (Posts: 8; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
only 2 cons :
1. 2 gb ram instead of 3 gb
2. no microsd card slot
otherwise this phone is awesome......
17. btbotimtim (Posts: 257; Member since: 08 Dec 2010)
and removable battery...
28. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3823; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
No smartphone released yet has 3GB RAM. Would you be saying it was a con if it wasn't a pre-release rumor? I highly doubt it. There's no way that can be considered a con. That's just asinine.
29. jdella681 (Posts: 17; Member since: 11 Oct 2009)
As far as memory even tho it's 2 gigs keep in mind that it's also now ddr3 memory
14. pocketdrummer (Posts: 32; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
When are we going to get a FULL review from you guys? It's like LG realized nobody was paying attention and is trying to do your job for you.
The Moto X has received tons of coverage, but the only thing that pops up about this phone is that a new commercial has come out. wtf?
16. Trex95 (Posts: 1124; Member since: 03 Mar 2013)
This Lg g2 wait for the Pro g2.
18. Fernandezxc (Posts: 43; Member since: 12 Mar 2012)
beats the s4
33. iushnt (Posts: 2272; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
depends where.. definately not in the marketplace..
19. JMartin22 (Posts: 2013; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
I'm getting kind of weary of this LG publicity they've been giving out lately. Can't they tell us something we don't know instead of trying to sell us the phone?
21. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
The quick window/s view thing has a lot of potential. In theory you can make a 5 inch bezeless phone that is the same size as a 4 inch phone with bezels. Slap a quick window frame on it to make it a 4 inch phone. You can even have the whole range of screen sizes if you buy all the quick window frames. 5, 4.9, 4.8, 4.7, 4.6, 4.5 all the way down to how many inches that quick window or s view window is.
Of course with an amoled screen you probably don't even need a frame/cover. The blacks will be black enough to look like real bezels and you can just put the screen sizes in the settings instead of using a quick window cover.
22. funkshit (Posts: 16; Member since: 12 Feb 2013)
I am using this product in Korea.
I dare can say this is so amazing. Pretty easy to turn on, great improvement on camera(Better than GS4), amazing IPS screen, etc.
LG, finally, did the greatest job.
It is a must-buy item.

John Neumann, the globe-trotting, high-intensity head coach of the first-year Rizing Fukuoka has been named the bj-league Coach of the Year, the league announced.
The Rizing stunned the host Takamatsu Five Arrows, who had 10 more regular-season wins, in the Western Conference wild-card game on Sunday, winning 112-94 for their eight triumph in 11 games.
Fukuoka (21-24) now prepares for a May 3 semifinal clash against the two-time champion Osaka Evessa.
Neumann arrived in Japan in early September, less than two months before the team's first-ever game.
The team's original hire, longtime American coach Howie Landa, never coached a game, and Neumann was essentially asked to work with Landa's players.
Neumann, who has coached in several countries, welcomed the challenge.
"It is a great honor to receive this award," Neumann said in a statement released by the bj-league. "It has been a great thrill coaching this team when everyone thought we would give up. Through our faith in each other and playing team basketball, we have been able to overcome many things this year."
A former NBA and ABA player and star at the University of Mississippi, he then crafted a winning team out of the group, and worked effectively with mid-season newcomers — Michael Parker and Kazuyuki Nakagawa.

The download won't start
This could be because of slow connection speeds. Download speed problems will almost always be caused by local or network issues.
– If you are using a dial-up connection, for instance, you can expect even just a couple of tracks to take quite a while to download.
– For broadband users, there are all sorts of things that can clog up your connection. If there are any network issues anywhere between your ISP and our servers it will slow the download speed down.

Sometimes browsers (such as Safari) automatically unzip your download. Check your downloads folder and desktop where the folder name will be the release artist and title, for example 'Beaches-SheBeats.zip'
What forms of payment do you accept?
You can currently pay via Credit or Debit card, and PayPal.
Is the payment process secure?
The Chapter Music Store is 256bit SSL encrypted. Check our secure certificate at Comodo.
Why is there a delay when I pay with Paypal?
There are two ways to pay for products using PayPal. One uses your credit card and the other uses your bank account.
1) Using your credit card. If you pay PayPal using a credit card then once PayPal have successfully charged your card they notify us. This process is pretty much instantaneous which means you can go straight to your downloads.
2) Using your checking account. If you choose to pay PayPal directly from your bank account (they call this a PayPal eCheck), then this takes PayPal from 4 to 6 days to collect the money from your bank account. Once they have successfully collected the money they then notify us. Only then will you have access to download your order.
Some people new to PayPal choose the eCheck payment method without understanding the delay it would cause and unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to speed up this process.
Returns & Refunds
Can I return my purchases?
We do not accept returns of download products, but offer a returns policy on all shippable items.
The item is faulty, what should I do?
We will replace any faulty item free of charge. Please contact us via Customer Support and we will promptly get back to you. We will require you to return the faulty item(s), but you will be reimbursed for your return postage. Please do not return faulty items to us without contacting us first.

Will you sell my email address to third parties?
Chapter Music will never sell your email address to third parties.

I'm currently enamored with the concept of decorating with large tropical leaves and stem cuttings. When I was in Asheville, North Carolina in March, I admired a large philodendron selloum leaf leaning out of a modern vase. Since then, I've been coming across photos of the simple yet striking concept all over the place, and I thought I'd share some of the best with you.
Here are a couple of photos of philodendron leaves used as room accents:
This weekend, I stopped at my favorite local flower shop, Birdie, and picked out a "split leaf philodendron". I did some research and learned that the plant isn't actually a philodendron but a close relative to the genus, so the common name is a bit misleading. My plant's scientific name is monstera deliciosa, which is, without a doubt, the coolest plant name I've ever heard.
Monstera deliciosa has a couple other yummy common names, including the swiss cheese plant, fruit salad plant (wait, what?) and "locust and wild honey". This surprising plant, native to Mexico and Central American, actually grows flowers and pineapple/banana/mango-flavored edible fruit (yum!). It's a climbing vine that literally starts out on the jungle floor and climbs up trees into the rainforest canopy. Under optimal conditions, the leaves can grow to be up to three feet long, and the vines can reach 70 feet to the rainforest floor! Yowza! (Source)
It's brand new, so I haven't had the chance to repot it yet. I filled one of my grandmother's vintage decanters with water and cut off one unruly stem from the base of the plant. I cut as far down as I could and took a bit of the aerial roots along with it in hopes that the cutting will take root.

Doubters on Retail Sales May Get Schooled
Economist See a Slower Month for Certain Categories, but a Gallup Poll Gives Reason for Cheer
Only kids went back to school this month, but plenty of grown-ups want to know what they are wearing and toting in their backpacks. Hand-me-downs and dated gadgets would confirm fears about a lackluster back-to-school shopping season.
Big retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc. warned last month of lingering weakness into the autumn. Department stores such as Kohl's Corp. and Macy's Inc. were similarly cautious, and specialty clothing retailer...

A German newsmagazine has reported that two of its journalists embedded with troops from the US 82nd Airborne Division in Afghanistan witnessed Afghan and American soldiers involved in abusing prisoners.
The weekly Focus reported that, while on patrol with troops this month south-west of Kabul, reporter Wolfgang Bauer and photographer Karsten Schoene witnessed an incident they said amounted to torture.
Major Chris Belcher, a US military spokesman in Afghanistan, said the magazine report was the first he had heard of the allegations, and he would have to look into the matter before commenting.
Focus reported that, during the search of a village for Taliban fighters, a patrol reportedly led by an Afghan army "platoon leader" apprehended a suspect in a house.
When the suspect refused to talk, the magazine said, the platoon leader tied one end of a rope to the suspect's foot and the other end to a vehicle, then threatened to drag the man unless he told the truth.
Focus reported that the platoon leader then had an American soldier start the motor. The magazine printed a picture of what it said was the prisoner tied to the vehicle, with a soldier standing nearby.
After idling for two minutes, the vehicle's motor was shut off. The man was not dragged, the magazine reported, and the suspect was set free.
The US soldier, a "fighter against terrorism, is suddenly, according to international law, a criminal. He carried out a fake execution. He tortured," Bauer wrote.
The magazine reported that, in another instance, American soldiers stood by while an Afghan "secret service man" punched a suspect with his fists and then hit him with the butt of his gun to try and obtain information.

Worshipping at a new Temple
Posted by Dan Kuseta
20. Dec, 2011
This week a new place of worship has quietly opened in Brunswick: Temple Brewery and Brasserie. Named after the Babylonian priestesses who, according to legend, brewed the first beer in temples, this new brewery is a modern day place of for another type of worship.
Temple is the brain/love child of husband and wife team Ron and Renata Feruglio, who have won a slew of gongs over the years for their award winning craft beers. Until now Ron and Renata were wandering brewers, using other brewery's facilities to make their own limited-edition batches. Now they've got their own place.
Temple is both a working brewery and a place to eat and drink. Split over two levels, the ground floor bar is all dim lighting, sleek design. It looks into the massive brewery, where kegs and…big shiny machines make the magic happen.
Upstairs there's artwork over the stairs and walls documenting the history of beer, from the Babylonian priestesses all the way to the German discovery of lager (1420) and Sir Walter Raleigh brewing the first beer in the New World in 1587 to Prohibition.
Upstairs is a more open space that overlooks the brewery, where Ron and Renata plan to hold beer appreciation classes and run tours of the brewery next year. The roof is designed to look like the foamy top of a beer. After a few of their brews it just might.
There are five standard beers on tap: Brunswick Draught, Bicycle Beer, Pale Ale, Soba Ale, Saison. I'm greedy so I tried them all. My favourite was the gutsy Saison, followed by the Bicycle Beer, which is brewed pyramid salt.
And what goes better with some beer than salty fried food right? But you won't find a packet of Burger Rings and potato wedges on the menu. Instead there's Pickled Quail Eggs and Vegetables ($8), Brunswick Rarebit ($12), Drowned Pork Sop (an open pork sandwich, $17) and Chilli Bag ($17).
I had me a chilli bag.
US-style chilli topped with coriander and fresh tomato, served with a side of corn chips in a bag. It's awesome.
So just in time for summer, Temple will be open 7 days a week. I can't think of a better gift to give the city.

Museum offers tome on animals in WWII
New Orleans — The National WWII Museum will celebrate the launch of "Loyal Forces," written and compiled by museum curators Toni M. Kiser and Lindsey F. Barnes, with a program at 5 p.m. Thursday in the new US Freedom Pavilion: The Boeing Center.
"Loyal Forces,'' published by LSU Press, features 157 photographs from the museum's collection and captures the heroism, hard work and innate skills of innumerable animals that aided the military as they fought to protect, transport, communicate, and sustain morale.

Tom Sykes reduces the margin to the championship leaders, despite missing the podium at the Nurburgring.
- Home
- MotoGP
- Championships
- Forums
- CrashTV
- Live
Despite finishing off the podium at the Nurburgring, Tom Sykes has nonetheless improved his World Superbike Championship chances after picking up a pair of top five results.
An upturn in race form in recent rounds has allowed Sykes to assume outside title contender status as the conclusion of the season looms, though he came into the German event facing a fairly substantial 41 point deficit to Marco Melandri in the standings.
Nonetheless, Sykes signalled his intentions early in both races as he pushed into the lead, but severe tyre problems on the Kawasaki would drop him down the order in the latter stages on each occasion.
Crossing the line fourth in race one and fifth in race two, the results signalled some frustration for Sykes since he wasn't able to fully capitalise on the accidents that would befall rivals Max Biaggi and Melandri.
Even so, the two solid finishes means Sykes still leave Germany better placed than when he started having reduced the margin to new leader Biaggi to 26.5 points with four races remaining.
"There is a question mark over race one because we used the same kind of tyre that we had used all weekend, the softer of the rear tyre selections, and we have done race distance on two of these tyres. On each occasion we have been able to do 1'55 laps at the end of the simulated race. So it is very strange.
"We did 1'55s very comfortably at the beginning of the race then we had a massive drop in tyre performance. It was rear chatter but more like bouncing today and that is something we have never experienced with this bike, let alone this weekend.
"We made a tyre choice change and went to the 'B' rear, which we were not keen to do. Things could have been much better. Some other riders had a worse day than us so I am quite happy to take good points in each race. A difficult day but we pulled points ultimately we cut the championship lead a bit. We will keep working hard for more good finishes."

Rome, May 8, 2012 (AFP) – American Taylor Phinney has been given the all
clear to race on when the Giro D'Italia resumes with a team time-trial in
Verona on Wednesday.
Phinney, the overall race leader, injured his ankle in a crash 100-metres
from the line in Monday's third stage in Denmark.
Alessandro Ballan, his BMC team leader, revealed on his Twitter account
that Phinney had spent a long time queuing for an X-ray at a hospital just
outside Verona but that the results had shown he had not suffered a fracture.
It means he will be able to join his team-mates on Wednesday's fourth stage.
World champion Mark Cavendish, who was also brought down in that crash,
trained with his Team Sky on Tuesday and is fit to continue despite a huge
bruise on his hip, his team said.
The crash was caused by 21-year-old Italian Roberto Ferrari veering wildly
to his right in the sprint finish, cutting across Cavendish's trajectory and
causing the Briton to fall, taking down several other riders.

Improving off-site data redundancy with data replication software tools
Creating off-site data redundancy requires additional hardware investments, but data replication software can ease the burden.
Is there a way to achieve data redundancy between data centers with fewer resources?

The burden of remotely replicating data can be reduced by embedded storage features and third-party tools.
For successful redundancy between data centers, you need to know which data needs to be protected under the disaster recovery process. Allocate adequate hardware resources to protect that data and then implement software and oversight to ensure redundancy and proper recovery processes. Investing in software tools to improve data redundancy between sites is only part of the solution. Administrators must also be knowledgeable enough to implement and use appropriate data replication software.
Most storage subsystems natively support virtual machine (VM) snapshot replication between storage arrays. This embedded feature simplifies snapshots and other data protection methods.
Other data redundancy considerations
Remote storage and other hardware
Business and compliance objectives
Many third-party data replication software products enable remote replication and backup. Some tools are already bundled with storage subsystems; simply install the tool on an available server to implement it. Dell's EqualLogic PS series of storage arrays, for example, includes software tools that support synchronous replication. Other tools can be purchased separately from storage hardware vendors.
Virtualization users might consider data replication tools native to their chosen hypervisor. For example, VMware customers can use vSphere Replication or third-party tools such as Veeam Backup and Replication or Dell's vReplicator. Be sure to select replication software that is virtualization-aware if you run virtualized data centers.
Regardless of what replication software you choose, thoroughly understand the product and its use. Never assume that any data protection tool will operate exactly as advertised or expected. Use proof-of-principle projects to test and refine data redundancy strategies, test recovery procedures and understand the implications of connectivity problems.

In the third MetLife Bowl preseason game between the New York Giants and New York Jets, fans saw plenty of great things to cheer about and while at the same time; plenty of really bad things to be concerned over that the Giants did on the field at MetLife Stadium on Saturday night.
In one of the more exciting ways to start the game; after the Giants defense forced rookie quarterback Geno Smith and the Jets offense to punt the ball, Giants running back David Wilson took the first hand-off on offense and was off to the races and was untouched for 84 yards and into the end zone, as the Giants went up 7-0. Wilson was starting tonight for the Giants over Andre Brown and he certainly made the most of his opportunity with that touchdown run.
On the next possession, the Jets, lead by Smith, drove his offense down the field 86 yards on eight plays, which lead to Smith throwing a 22-yard touchdown pass to Ben Obomanu and tied the game at 7-7. During that drive, the Giants defense got called for four straight penalties, which certainly did not make Tom Coughlin happy on the sidelines.
With 4:42 left to go in the first quarter, the Giants forced the first of several turnovers against Smith, as Prince Amukamara ripped the ball out of Ryan Spadola's hands for an interception at the Giants own 39-yard-line. The Giants weren't able to convert the turnover into any points though and were forced to punt the ball away on the next drive.
On the Jets next drive, the Giants put the pressure onto Smith and forced him to throw his second interception of the game to Stevie Brown, who returned it for 22 yards, but on the return, went down in pain on the field, as he was holding his knee in pain. The trainers helped him off the field and left with what was being called a sprained knee, but would have an MRI for further testing and evaluation.
The Giants got Brown's interception on the Jets 23-yard line, but were only able to move one yard on the drive, which set up a Josh Brown 40-yard field goal, which made it 10-7 Giants.
In the second quarter, Smith went to throw a short pass, but wasn't paying attention to who was in front of him, and had his third pass of the night intercepted by Justin Tuck, as the Giants defense was creating havoc against the rookie and winning the turnover battle on the night. On the next drive, the Giants got the ball to the Jets 35-yard-line to set up a 53-yard field goal attempt by Brown, but he missed it wide left, which kept the score at 10-7.
When the Giants got the ball again, the started on their own 19-yard-line; two pass interference calls on Kyle Wilson defending Hakeem Nicks, plus a 34-yard completion from Eli Manning to Hakeem Nicks got the team inside the Jets two-yard line, but the Giants turned the ball over on downs when Manning's pass to Nicks on fourth down was incomplete and knocked away, which lead to the score staying 10-7 Giants at halftime.
In the third quarter, Smith stayed out on the field for the Jets to get as many reps in as he could. He started the Jets drive from their own 43-yard-line and drove the Jets 57 yards, which ended with Bilal Powell scoring from two-yard out and the Jets took the lead at 14-10. On the next drive, Curtis Painter started his team's drive on the 14-yard line and lead a 12-play drive down to the Jets 15-yard line, which set up Brown's second field goal of the night, a 33-yard make, which cut the lead down to 14-13.
The Giants once again caused another turnover on defense when Smith completed a pass to Stephen Hill, but had the ball ripped out of his hands and the fumble was picked up by Tyler Sash at the Jets 42-yard-line. However, the Giants failed to capitalize on the turnover, as they punted the ball back without scoring any points.
Smith really showed his rookie colors on the Jets next offensive possession, as he rolled back to pass, but forgot where his footing was, as he stepped out of bounds in the back of the end zone for a safety, which gave the Giants the lead at 15-14. The Giants got the ball back on the free kick, but again, weren't able to convert more points to increase their lead.
In the fourth quarter, with Mark Sanchez playing for Smith, Sanchez fumbled the snap, which was recovered by Giants middle linebacker Mark Herzlich at the Jets 39-yard-line. The Giants were only able to move the ball seven yards on the next drive, but it did set up a 50-yard try for Brown, which he drilled right down the middle and put them up 18-14. Sanchez ended up leaving the game due to suffering a shoulder injury and went to the locker room to have the injury checked on.
With less than three minutes left in the game, Jets quarterback Matt Simms, son of former Giants quarterback Phil Simms. threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Spadola, which allowed the Jets to re-take the lead at 21-18. The Giants, lead by Painter, got the ball down to the Jets 22-yard-line with :45 left, which set up a game-tying field goal by Brown from 40 yards, which tied the game at 21-21 and sent the preseason game into overtime.
The Giants won the coin toss and elected to receive, but on the first play in overtime, Da'Rel Scott fumbled the ball, which was recovered by the Jets on the Giants own 26-yard-line, setting them up for excellent field goal position. Nick Folk came in to kick what would be the game-winning 39-yard field goal, but first, Coughlin called time out to ice him. On the actual attempt, Folk hooked it right and missed, thus allowing the game to continue.
After the Giants punted the ball back to the Jets, Simms got the Jets to the 15-yard-line of the Giants, setting up a 32-yard field goal for veteran Billy Cundiff, who drilled it down the middle, and gave the Jets a 24-21 overtime win in the preseason and were the winners of the third annual MetLife Bowl game in the preseason.
For the Giants, the biggest positives of the game were causing five turnovers against the Jets; three of which came by interceptions against the rookie Smith. The other major positive was Wilson, who really showed everyone just how talented he is when he gets into open space and shows off his speed.
The injury to Brown is very concerning, as the team can only hope it is just a knee sprain and he won't miss any significant time as a result of making a great interception on defense.
A major setback for the Giants was their inability to covert a lot of their turnovers on defense into points, especially touchdowns, as Brown was a busy guy again making four field goals in five attempts. If the Giants had turned some of those drives into touchdowns instead of field goals, they might have been able to win by a decent margin and the game doesn't go into overtime.
Coughlin and his coaching staff will have a lot to look over before their final preseason game, which will be on Thursday night at Gillette Stadium against the New England Patriots; a team that won't have as many players on it, as the first round of cuts will be coming this weekend, as rosters will get knocked down from 90 to 75, which must be done before August 27. The final roster of 53 players must be decided upon by August 31.

The University of California, Merced has been named to receive a $5 million charitable donation from United Health Foundation to assist in the development of medical education and related health-sciences programs, the university said today (July 27).
The grant, to be distributed over the next three years, will be used to continue detailed planning, conduct feasibility studies and hire personnel to establish a structured UC Merced medical education program on a pathway to a medical school.
United Health Foundation, the charitable giving arm of United HealthCare Group, made the donation as part of a $50 million initiative to help meet the growing healthcare needs of underserved groups and communities in California. UC Merced was chosen because of its location in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, a region of the state with a significant shortage of physicians, a high incidence of health problems and rapid population growth. UC Riverside also received a $5 million grant from United Health Foundation for similar purposes.
"Thanks to this generous gift, we are one step closer to training the next generation of top physicians who are both competent in multi-cultural medicine and committed to serving the unique needs of the San Joaquin Valley," said UC Merced's Dean of Natural Sciences Maria Pallavicini. "Establishing a UC Merced School of Medicine will help address the health care needs of California and our rapidly growing and diverse population."
UC Merced submitted a preliminary proposal in June to the UC Office of the President to establish a medical education program leading to a School of Medicine in the San Joaquin Valley. If approved, UC Merced will enter its first class of medical students within the next ten years.
A comprehensive medical education program is needed in the San Joaquin Valley to address the disproportionate physician shortage in the region. UC Merced's proposed medical education program is based on academic partnerships and utilizes existing resources in the Valley and sister UC campuses.
UC Merced opened September 5, 2005, as the 10th campus in the University of California system and the first American research university to open in the 21st century. The campus significantly expands access to the UC system for students throughout the state, with a special mission to increase college-going rates among students in the San Joaquin Valley. It also serves as a major base of advanced research and as a stimulus to economic growth and diversification throughout the region. Situated near Yosemite National Park, the university is expected to grow rapidly, topping out at approximately 25,000 students within 30 years.

Sound — 9
Boston native Boys Like Girls are getting set to release their self titled debut full length album next month and have put together a vibrant, loud, and extremely catchy package of 12 songs that you will be spinning all summer long. Boys Like Girls teamed up with producer Matt Squire (Thrice, Hit The Lights, The Receiving End Of Sirens) for the album and the product is a clean cut album that sounds great to the common ear and is sure to please everyone from scenesters to your local teen mallrat (and maybe a little of both). The album starts off with the track "The Great Escape" which is a catchy little number showcasing Boys Like Girls infectious hooks and guitar lines mixed with extremely bland and cliche lyrics. Throw it away, forget yesterday, we'll make the great escape is just one of many boring lyrics on this album. The next two tracks are also very catchy and sink into you. You will be singing most of the tracks on this album for weeks straight until you take it out of your disc player, or computer which is exactly what I find myself doing now.
Lyrics — 5
The middle tracks, 5-9, on this album slow down the album a bit and aren't as enjoyable and as promising as the beginning of the album. The predictable pattern of into/verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/outro gets old quite fast and doesn't hold your attention very well. The lyrics to Dance Hall Drug are almost laughable and if it weren't for great production and decent vocals I would trash this album. The ending to the album is pretty strong although. Heel's Over Head is a great track and offers a little diversity in an album filled with no originality and predictability. Broken Man is one of the catchiest tracks on the album, in my opinion, and really gets you singing along. Holiday is the perfect choice for an ending to the album but I find myself skipping over it because I want the album to be over.
Overall Impression — 7
For a debut album, Boys Like Girls have put out a halfway decent album and show a lot of potential. Their hooks are quite infectious, catchy, and vibrant. The vocals are pleasing to the ear, and their instrumentation shows some talent. I just can't help but write this album off as nothing but decent. It's catchy, it's fun, it's perfect for the summer, but that's about it. Once the summer is over, and my feet aren't sandy anymore, this album will probably collect some dust on my shelves. Hopefully the guys will develop their own sound in the next few years and come out with a great record. But for now, in one word, this album is mediocore.

Researchers have found that an older male white-crowned sparrow will generally ignore young males singing in his territory but will turn aggressive if he hears a rival his own age. "These male sparrows assess an opponent's fighting ability based on age," says Angelika Poesel, lead author of the study and curator of Ohio State University's Borror Laboratory of Bioacoustics. "A young male is just not going to scare an older one." Other research suggests that younger males are less successful at attracting females than are older males. "That means older males see these young birds as little threat to them and not worth a lot of attention," Poesel says. The study is one of the first to suggest that some birds determine a potential rival's age and threat level by its song.
It's about the size of your hand and looks like a piece of fabric covered on one side with rubber, which is exactly what it is. But it has a sort of super power: A sample about the size of an index card "can hold up a maximum of about 700 pounds while adhering to a smooth surface such as glass," says Alfred Crosby, a polymer expert at the University of Massachusetts–Amherst who helped create the adhesive device, called Geckskin. He and his colleagues modeled the adhesive after the feet of geckos—lizards that can run up walls. Like gecko feet, the adhesive has both rigid and flexible components. The researchers used Geckskin to attach a 42-inch flat-screen TV to a piece of glass, then took it off without leaving a sticky residue. "Twist it instead of pulling on it, and it comes off with zero force," Crosby says. It can stick to drywall, wood, metal and various plastics, leaves no trace on any surface—just like a gecko—and can be reused.
Tarsiers—5-inch-long, nocturnal primates from Southeast Asian islands—sometimes gape open their mouths as if calling but make no sounds audible to humans. Perplexed by this behavior, Sharon Gursky-Doyen, an anthropologist at Texas A&M University, used an ultrasound detector to test 35 tarsiers taken briefly from the wild in the Philippines and found they were not silent after all. They make calls that, at 70 kilohertz, are among the highest-pitched ever found in any terrestrial mammal and far above the range of human hearing, which tops out at 20 kilohertz. Some other primates use ultrasonic sounds as part of their vocalizations but, says Marissa Ramsier, an anthropologist at California's Humboldt State University who headed the study on tarsier calls and hearing, "This is the only primate we know of that makes calls completely inaudible to us. They also make vocalizations we can hear." Tarsiers may use ultrasound as a sort of secret system for warning one another of lurking predators deaf to the sounds. The ability to hear high frequencies may allow tarsiers to locate insect prey, too, Ramsier says.

No sign of RIM name on BlackBerry offices

Last night, RIM employees went to bed, working for Research In Motion and by the time the sun rose on Wednesday morning, they offices where they worked were rebranded with the signage for the new corporate name: BlackBerry; it is a move that was long overdue and ends the confusion of those not familiar with the connection between RIM and BlackBerry...

I suspect the RIM employees were told of the new company name. Things like this get communicated at a minimum on the day the change occurs.
4. CardiWPfan (Posts: 129; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
This is a clear indication mark my words that RIM will be acquired within the coming months!! The greater question is will the Canadian regulators allow such a thing to come to fruition.

So sad to see that.. I felt deeply sad when I used Nokia Lumia 920 and turn it on and not seeing the regular Nokia salute on it. Then, I went to the ring tune and played Nokia's one .. The same, it is totally changed.
I'm really feeling so sad for loosing this legacy.

I want to see BB become a successful 3rd player in the market. I was impressed by their bravery in improving their own ecosystem instead of adapting to pressure -- unlike Nokia who took the coward's way in adapting MS (which by the way sucks).
Now, if only they could do something about BIS...

Hello me and my girlfriend are planning on travelling to Australia in October and are currently working through the working holiday visa and slightly confused with 2 of the questions:
Question 11. "What type of employment do you intend to seek during your stay?"
We are planning on doing so farm work and then maybe admin/bar/supermarket jobs and maybe look into jobs in the roles we have qualified in uni to gain some experience in that area (Health and Social care and MEng Electronic Engineering). What should we put for this question?
Question 32. "Do you hold health insurance to cover your stay in Australia?"
We have looked into health insurance but we aren't going to buy this until we get the visa granted, so which do we select?
Any help would be grateful, and if their are any other travellers heading out in October would be good to hear from you

Madonna gets fully screwed out of adopting Mercy
Madonna just got extra screwed by Malawi. Turns out the father of the four-year-old girl she was trying to adopt has surfaced and wants to raise her. He assumed Mercy died with her mother, but thanks to Madonna's visit, he learned she's still alive. People reports:
The young man, James Kambewa, tells PEOPLE he didn't even know his daughter was alive until her name surfaced in the Madonna adoption case. Now a security guard, Kambewa says he learned the girl's mother, 15-year-old Mwandida Maunde, had died – and assumed their child was dead too.
"Now that I know [Mercy] is alive I am willing to support her," Kambewa says. He and Maunde were both high school students when they conceived the child. "Her parents were furious that I had messed up their daughter. They caused hell for me so I left town," says Kambewa.
Hey, these things happen, and I'm sure Madonna will take it like an adult. Not counting she's up on her roof with a giant black cauldron and a dragon. Besides that.
EDIT: Added some pics of Madonna in London last night. Whee.

Limegreen x VAUTE Room, Linen, & Body Spray: LOTUS
This product is currently sold out.
VAUTE x LIMEGREEN *Lotus Room, Linen, & Body Spray*
- Made in Brooklyn & hand poured.
- We collaborated with a favorite candle making team in Brooklyn called LimeGreen.
- The sprays are hand poured into a reusable plastic bottle.
SCENT: *LOTUS* It's the mud that makes you your most beautiful.
My parents brought me to a Thich Nhat Hanh retreat in August. That's where he reminded us all "no mud, no lotus." It's in facing the challenges that we grow to our best most beautiful selves. I also didn't find out until I was 12 that my name means "Lotus Flower" in Mandarin, so I guess I have a strong sentimental attachment to it too.

When you look at all the current line of BlackBerry handsets, there is a striking resemblance among all of them – their design is almost similar to one another while the current OS has been the staple of the platform since RIM remodeled it for the Bold 9000. Some may say that it's starting to look a bit stale over at RIM's camp with each device they announce. Sure they have full touchscreen phones like the BlackBerry Storm2 or even the slight departure that the Magnum exudes with its hybrid portrait QWERTY touchscreen design, but they still don't have anything unique to separate them from one another dramatically – just about anyone can spot a BlackBerry handset without having to look at one up close. Brightpoint, one of RIM's global distributors, has hinted through its Twitter account to a possible big announcement from the veteran smartphone maker during MWC. No information what it is in regards to specifically, but let's cross our fingers and hope it truly will redefine RIM's smartphone legacy once again.

Given-Wilson, Z., Herlihy, J., Hodes, M (2016). Canadian Psychology/Psychologie canadienne, Vol 57(4), Nov 2016, 265-273
Unaccompanied asylum seeking children (UASC) are separated from caregivers, have often been exposed to significant additional past and ongoing adversities, and seek protection from war, organised violence or persecution in a new country. Obtaining a more secure legal position by achieving recognition of the asylum claim and legal rights may involve arduous interviews with officials who appear disbelieving. Assessing a minor's claim to asylum is an important and difficult task. UASC often arrive with little "proof" or documentation to justify their claims and can only provide their account in making their claim. Without such 'proof' decision-makers turn to the subjective judgement of the applicant's credibility. This review appraises the literature on UASC asylum claims from a psychological perspective. Searches were made of the main databases for relevant studies. The review focuses on key findings: developmental processes, mental health, autobiographical memory, cultural influences, and decision-makers own thinking processes and subjective states. Key findings specific to the UASC predicament are their ability to tell their story - an aspect of autobiographical memory, which is affected by developmental stage, presence of mental illness and culture. The review shows that the decision-makers' own beliefs, past experiences and emotional state also affects their decision making processes. An adequate assessment requires evaluation of a multitude of factors and careful decision-making. The findings are pertinent for understanding the UASC, interviewing style and appraising the information. The implications for policy and practice are summarised.You can access the full article here.

A natural born leader with a zeal and passion for social justice and human rights equality, Rabbi Eleanor Steinman has pursued education and a professional life focused on improving the world, one person at a time.
Rabbi Steinman was born in Los Angeles, CA and spent her teenage years in a suburb of St. Paul, MN. She graduated from Brandeis University with a Bachelor of Arts in history. After graduation in 2001, she participated in AVODAH: The Jewish Service Corps in New York City. During this year long program she worked as a volunteer coordinator at Learning Leaders, a program that seeks to help New York City public school students succeed in school by training volunteers who provide tutoring and other school-based enrichment.

In 2003, Rabbi Steinman enrolled at the Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion. She received a Master of Hebrew Letters degree in 2006 and rabbinic ordination in 2008. During the period of time as a rabbinical student, Rabbi Steinman worked with Congregation B'nai David in Visalia, CA, Har Shalom Congregation in Missoula, MT and Congregation Kol Ami in West Hollywood, CA.
Upon her ordination, Rabbi Steinman moved to Canada to serve Temple Sinai Congregation of Toronto as assistant rabbi. After three years, Rabbi Steinman decided return to California to continue her education and enrolled at the Rhea Hirsch School of Education of the Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion where she received a Masters Degree in Jewish education in May 2012.
Rabbi Steinman serves as a board member of the Pacific Association of Reform Rabbis and is the Southern California representative for the Women's Rabbinic Network. She is also a proud member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the National Association of Temple Educators.
From July 2012-June 2013, Rabbi Steinman served as the Executive Director of California Faith for Equality, an interfaith organization that educates, organizes and supports California's faith communities to promote equality for LGBT people and to safeguard religious freedoms.
Most recently, Rabbi Steinman served as the Director of Programs and Fund Development for A Wider Bridge, an organization that serves to inspire LGBTQ Jews to deepen their Jewish identity through connection to Israel.
Beginning July 1, 2014, Rabbi Steinman will serve as rabbi and Director of Education at Temple Beth Hillel in Valley Village, CA.

Police divers will search the canal for part of an ear severed in an attack on two teenage boys on the Gold Coast.
The boys, aged 15 and 16, were walking along Varsity Parade at Varsity Lakes on their way home when they were approached by a man brandishing a gun about 10.35pm on Monday.
The teens told police that the man, described as being of Pacific Islander appearance with tattoos, led them into a nearby alley, produced a hand gun and demanded money.
The armed thief continued to threaten the teens, leading them down to the canal.He held them there for half an hour and cut off half of 16-year-old boy's ear lobe using a pair of scissors, according to police.
The man stole cash, jewellery and a mobile telephone.
Superintendent Dave Hutchinson said the attack was "very concerning''.The child protection unit was currently interviewing the two boys.
He agreed it was an extraordinary violent attack for the small amount of property stolen but said the "full story will come out in due course''.
The 16-year-old boy, from Surfers Paradise, was taken to Robina Hospital for treatment.
The 15-year-old boy, from Varsity Lakes, was not injured.
Their attacker is described as being about 188 centimetres tall with a solid to heavy build and short, black hair.
He was wearing a black shirt, brown three quarter length shorts and black shoes.
Superintendent Hutchinson confirmed there were currently no other witnesses but police had no reason to doubt the teens' report.
"Whether this is random or not, we are not certain," he said.
Investigations are continuing, with police planning to search the nearby canal and doorknock residents on Tuesday afternoon.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
