Ian Callum, the Scotsman who has been overseeing styling at Britain's Jaguar for 12 years now, is on the phone from the United Kingdom, discussing the pace of change in the auto industry.
"When I came here I felt we would need three to five years to start the changes and 10-11 years to complete the first phase," he says. "I feel we've completed the first phase of renewing Jaguar. Phase One was very clear to me. Phase Two is harder. I spend a lot of sleepless nights thinking about this.
"The question I ask is, 'How do we continue the change without reinventing the brand?'"
That, in a nutshell, is the story of the auto industry and has been for more than 100 years. Car companies must continually change and evolve. It is a never-ending process driven by big-picture issues such as fuel prices and government regulations – the two biggest ones in the 21st century – along with demographics, fashion trends, population growth, urban migration, global and local economic conditions, environmental concerns, technological advancements, safety matters and plain, old consumer tastes.
"I like to think we are a very design-conscious and very modern car company, but we pay attention to this all the time," says Callum.
Jaguar, part of the sprawling Tata Group of India, is a small car company in global terms, but it faces exactly the same challenges as every other auto maker competing on the world stage, big and small. Faced with strict fuel economy and emissions regulations in its biggest and most important markets, Jaguar is reinventing not just the look of its cars, but also getting ready to launch so-called "electrified" vehicles.
At this year's Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Jaguar is showing a hybrid concept that points not only to where Jaguar thinks it might go with a two-seat sports cars, but also how gasoline- or diesel-electric hybrid power trains might fit into the company's future. The CX-16 concept is a gasoline-electric hybrid that uses a 1.6-kilowatt electric motor and auxiliary battery pack in combination with a newly developed 3.0-litre supercharged V-6. With 375 horsepower, this two-seater can accelerate to 100 km/h in about four seconds, the company says.
"For Jaguar, the two-seater sports car is at the heart of the brand," says Callum, noting that his concept cars are not far-fetched fantasies – they don't "over-promise" – but something very close to reality.
"Yes, we're seriously looking at a two-seater car. Yes, we're still looking at the business plan," he says.
This is what you get at any big auto show: a mixture of fantasy and reality all of it ultimately based on a "business plan" that relies on eliciting emotional reactions from the car-buying public. Those buyers are finicky in the extreme, too. So, also, are government regulators who are demanding the industry change dramatically not in 10- to 12-year cycles, but in historical terms almost overnight.
That is, new fleet-wide fuel economy rules call for something on the order of a 28 per cent overall improvement by 2016 (to an average of 6.67 litres/100 km). Car companies are working harder and faster to meet these regulations than on anything in the history of the business. How big is this challenge? According to DesRosiers Automotive Consultants, the industry as a whole improved fleet-wide fuel economy by about 20 per cent in the years between 1982 and 2009. Twenty-seven years to squeeze out 20 per cent and now six years to nail down 28 per cent.
Thus, this year's show at the north and south Metro Toronto Convention Centre includes a hybrid Jaguar sports car concept, a hybrid production version of the BMW 3-Series, a fuel-efficient compact Dodge Dart, an electrified Ford Fusion mid-size car, a small Buick crossover wagon called the Encore and a hybrid super sports car from Acura which, while being shown as the NSX concept in Toronto, will reach Acura showrooms in three years as a production model.
The 39th annual CIAS show will have some 40 North American and Canadian vehicle premiers, along with 15 concept cars, various collector exhibits and something called the Eco-Drive Showcase which includes a heavy roster of "green" cars, from electrics to hybrids to diesels and more.Report Typo/Error

Book Review: I Want to Kill the Dog by Richard M. Cohen
Published 2:14 pm, Friday, February 8, 2013
Richard Cohen does not like his wife Meredith Vieira's dog, Jasper. Based on the book, it seems like Cohen really doesn't like any dogs.
At the start of I Want to Kill the Dog, Cohen poses the questions: "Has a couple ever gone to war or a spouse moved to another country because a pet came between them? Have two people other than my wife and me ever had such opposing feelings when it comes to domestic animals?"
The book drudges along and the reader endures the tales of dogs that destroy items in the house, the yard, the tolerance of the neighbors. There are delivery people running from the house in fear, guests are intimidated and more tales of how awful Cohen feels the dogs are and all it really shows is how bad the situation really is. Not cute, not amusing, just plain bad.
The promotional pieces and interviews would lead you to believe this book would be humorous. It's not.
On television, the author appeared witty, but in the book there was no humor like that in the interviews - unless you think endless complaining is humorous; then you are in luck.
The electronic collar "training" came across as sadistic and unhelpful to correcting any problems. Vieira and Cohen might benefit from some professional help.
If you are a stoic, non-pet person, I Want to Kill the Dog by Richard M. Cohen may be a book for you. If you are hoping for light-hearted humor of a non-dog/non-cat person living in a house with animals, look elsewhere.

Movie Release: Bright Star
The director of The Piano leaves you lusting for romance
Jane Campion's Bright Star is such a seductive pleasure that you only fully appreciate her achievement once you're out from under its spell. Set in the heady pre-Victorian years of the early nineteenth century, it's the love story of the 18-year-old Fanny Brawne and the romantic poet John Keats, who died of tuberculosis at 25. As played by the superb Ben Whishaw and Abbie Cornish, Keats and Fanny are deeply sympathetic figures, but they're never sentimental or morose, and neither is the film. Campion has explored what she calls "the romantic impulse" in five of her seven films, most notably in The Piano (1993), which won three Oscars, including one for her screenplay, and made her the only woman ever to win the Palme d'Or, the Cannes film festival's top prize. Here she's interested in the intersection of romance and romanticism, the transforming cultural movement of which Keats, in all his passion and poetic grace, not to mention his fragility, remains an enduring icon. But Campion gives us even more: a taste of a vibrant, egalitarian bohemian society two centuries ago and a portrait of family love that is every bit as compelling as the romance at the movie's center. Named for a great Keats poem inspired by Fanny, Bright Star is a subtle and distinguished piece of work.
The movie opens in 1818, when Keats is 23 and meets the girl next door—literally. They live in adjacent halves of the same Hampstead house: Fanny with her widowed mother, younger brother, and sister; the nearly penniless Keats with the house's owner, Charles Brown (Paul Schneider), his fellow poet and fierce protector. Lying in bed at night, Fanny listens to Keats moving around on the other side of the wall—an image of secret desire all the more potent for being held at bay. Keats' lack of means makes any future for them impossible, or it would if the colorfully dressed, undereducated yet tart-spoken girl he teasingly calls "Minxtress" weren't one of Campion's most gloriously headstrong heroines. Campion's romantic streak can lead her astray: By the end of The Portrait of a Lady (1996), she'd reduced Henry James' great heroine to a hysterical cliché. And as much as I admire The Piano's beauty and sheer oddness, I found the mute heroine's masochistic embrace of her jungle-dwelling neighbor's sexual blackmail creepy and unconvincing.
She brings a new and stringent realism to Bright Star that makes the movie far more thrilling by not inviting us to swoon over its thwarted lovers. Never merely pathetic, Keats has a tragic dimension. Campion has called Whishaw "beautiful like a cat," and he brings a catlike alertness and self-possession to Keats, even in the teeth of the gifted young poet's onrushing mortality. Cornish, her face noticeably bare and her blond hair darkened and severely pulled back, not only looks like a woman of that time but must generate her glamour from within, and she does. Fanny may not have read all of Milton, as she blandly claims when Brown tries to expose her ignorance, but she has a sharp, forceful mind and a confidence in her own creativity: She thriftily designs and makes her hats and gowns in boldly imaginative styles that only grow more brilliant as the story progresses. Keats and Fanny court the way clever people do, testing and probing with wit and verbal jousts, but the ground they meet on is passion, not just physical but a passion for life and a passionate belief in their own worth. Fanny's brother, Sam (Thomas Sangster), and droll little sister, Toots (Edie Martin), follow her whenever she leaves the house. Encouraged by their mother, Sam and Toots are like a pair of junior guardian angels, reminding us of something it's easy to forget about the impressive Fanny—her terrible vulnerability. She's a young woman in love for the first time, and when her heart shatters as it inevitably must, you hear the heavens wail.
With its embrace of emotion as a source of art and truth instead of a threat to order, and its emphasis on the value of the individual, romanticism broke with the rigid hierarchies of the feudal past: It was the beginning of modernity. In secular society, at least, we are all romantics. Bohemia, that spiritual homeland of artists, writers, and boundary breakers of all kinds, is a fertile place for creativity, not wealth, and Campion's award-winning young cinematographer, Greig Fraser, captures the vitality of Keats' and Fanny's world as well as its plainness. But he also studs the film with gorgeous scenes of nature so startlingly good you could frame them. Like Bright Star itself, they delineate the difference between a pretty picture and a piece of cinematic art.

The location was great, the wine they poured was very good and the homemade cookies were yummy. The front yard was quaint. The back was a dirt lot - ugly! The breakfast room contained too many people with a long boring looking table, & it felt like a hotel and not a quaint B&B. Too many rooms for a B&B. Online pics were not current, & I had a better expectation of the place because of them. Nothing cute!
Bed was comfortable. Reservation policy charged us for lost day due to car problems even though they received 48 hour prior notice. Breakfast was mediocre for expensive venue. Room had choppy layout and awkward. Not worth the price of the room. When we arrived late no room key was available as promised and we had to wait for someone to show up.

Voluntary environmental approaches in French wine growing: a variety of adhesion factors (In French)
One main environmental issue in wine growing is the non point source pollution of underground water by excessive use of pesticides. The aim of our paper is to present the diversity of voluntary environmental approaches (VEA) .We explain this diversity by the different values that suppose the actors submission to rules and standards, which determine adhesion factors. The analysis is empirically based on original survey conducted towards a sample of more than 1500 wine producers. In a first part, we show that there are two VEA standard models in wine growing: integrated production and organic production. In a second part, we specify these two standard models by different motivation criteria (controlling factor). In organic farming, the relationships with nature are important whereas economic factor determine the choice of integrated farming.

If the world economy is in crisis, the market economy is even more in crisis. It is seen as unfair, having generated unacceptable inequalities; and inefficient, having attracted massive resources into financial activities whose contribution to the economy is questioned. Yet the world needs an integrated market economy, a necessary, though not sufficient, condition for growth and welfare.
The Group of 20 countries has focused on recovery plans and financial regulation. But this is only a first step towards restoring the credibility of the market economy and taming economic nationalism, the seed of disintegration.
The key test for market economies, perhaps even for democracies, will be whether they master the growing inequalities, including within countries, caused by ungoverned globalisation and aggravated by the crisis. This requires two developments: getting the best out of competing economic models; and firming up market integration by moderating tax competition. While the former has started, the latter is not even on the agenda.
The remainder of the article can be read here. Please post comments below.

Two Queensland government ministers have been forced to backtrack after they labelled a former Liberal National Party MP as "Far Knuth".
Dalrymple Shane Knuth, who last year defected from the LNP to Katter's Australian Party, complained the ministers' use of the F-word was "deeply offensive" and "a slur on the wonderful institution of Parliament".
On Tuesday, Treasurer Tim Nicholls had a go at the three members of the minor party who sit at the back of the chamber.
"Up in the back corner we have 'Junior', 'Far Knuth' and 'Hopper the Swapper', pretending to be a party," Mr Nicholls told Parliament, while attacking Ray Hopper's weekend defection from the LNP.
The same day, Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie said the government would "not be sidetracked by the 'Far Knuth' puppets in the corner".
Early on Thursday morning, during a late sitting of Parliament, Speaker Fiona Simpson said she had reviewed the incidents and concluded the language used could be considered unparliamentary.
"I ask the Treasurer and the Attorney-General to withdraw the offending language," she said.
Mr Nicholls and Mr Bleijie immediately agreed to withdraw the quips.

Golf, Greg Norman, 1996 Masters
In brilliant form, the Great White Shark takes a six-stroke lead into the final round. He goes bogey, bogey, bogey, double-bogey from nine to 12. And loses to Nick Faldo by five strokes. He told ABC program Australian Story earlier this month that he was hampered by a back problem on the final day.
League, Parramatta Eels, 1998 grand final qualifier
Leading the Canterbury Bulldogs 18-2 with 10 minutes to go, Parramatta had all but booked a grand final showdown with Brisbane Broncos. Three tries in seven minutes to the Dogs, complete with two sideline conversions from Daryl Halligan, sent the match into extra time and the Eels collapsed losing 20-32. As Bulldogs president Barry "Punchy" Nelson said after the game: "They put us to bed, but they didn't kiss us goodnight".
Rugby, All Blacks, World Cup
Take your pick; outplayed in the semis by France in 1999; getting taunted with "four more years" by George Gregan as Australia dumped them in 2003; food poisoning by Susie the waitress in 1995; not even making the semis in 2007, the world's No 1 side consistently froze at the World Cup, losing when they should have won.
Australian Rules, Collingwood, 1970 grand final
In 1970, Collingwood, looking to win its first flag since 1958, after several near misses, led by 44 points at half-time against arch-rival Carlton, only inaccuracy keeping it from a record-breaking lead. But with star full-forward Peter McKenna concussed, and the Blues throwing caution to the wind, a stunning 13 goal to four comeback ensued, and Carlton corralled the stunned Magpies to win by 10 points. It was the most famous loss in Aussie Rules history, and still inflames the bitter Carlton/Collingwood rivalry today. The Collywobbles was in full swing.
Golf, Jean Van De Velde, 1999 British Open
Choked? He might have drowned. Needing only a double-bogey six on the 18th hole, he had a triple-bogey, at one point splashing down in a water hazard and rolling up his trousers, to contemplate playing it from there. He then lost in a four-hole playoff to Paul Lawrie, who started the day 10 strokes behind.
Football, Bayern Munich, 1999 Champions League final
Up 1-0 with time up, the German powerhouse lost 2-1 to Manchester United, with Teddy Sheringham scoring in the "91st minute, then Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the 94th.
Tennis, Bill Tilden, 1927 Wimbledon
Up 6-2, 6-4, 5-1 (30-0) against Frenchman Henri Cochet in the semifinals, Tilden can not apply the coup de grace, Cochet wins 2-6 4-6 7-5 6-4 6-3.
Cricket, Australia, Headingley 1981
Australia were on the verge of wrapping up an easy win within four days and 2-0 up in the Ashes when Ian Botham arrived at the crease. He smashed 149 to make Australia bat again, then Bob Willis took 8-43 to get England home by 18 runs. It was just the second time the side following-on had won.
Rugby league, Don Fox, 1968 Challenge Cup final
Fox missed a conversion in front of the posts that would have won Wakefield Trinity the Cup. Fox fell to his knees and held his head in his hands, as the final whistle blew and Leeds won 11-10.
American Football, Houston Oilers, 1992
The worst single-game collapse in NFL history. Houston led 35-3 early in the third quarter, but Buffalo's Steve Christie landed a 30m field goal three minutes into extra time for Buffalo - noted chokers themselves - to win 41-38.
Sailing, Dennis Conner, 1983 America's Cup on Rhode Island Sound, New York
Up 3-1 "Mr America's Cup" Conner somehow loses 3-4 to Australia with its famous winged keel. The cup leaves the US for the first time in 132 years. "We Keeled Them" the Australian headlines scream.
Cricket, South Africa, 1999 World Cup
Allan Donald's running between wickets will never make a 'how to' guide. South Africa needed nine runs off the last over against Australia in the semi-final of the 1999 World Cup. Lance Klusener cracked two fours early in the over, but then a monumental "yes, no, wait ... sorry" mix-up between Klusener and Donald resulted in the fast bowler being run out, the match being tied and the Australian's going through.
Tennis, Jana Novotna, Wimbledon, 1993
Novotna tears at the presentation are probably more memorable than the match itself. The Czech was up 6-7, 6-1, 4-1 with a game point against the great Steffi Graf in the 1993 Wimbledon singles final. Novotna double-faulted and went on to lose the third set 6-4. Novotna's broke down in tears and was consoled by the Duchess of Kent at the presentation.
Cricket, Scott Boswell, Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy final, Lord's, 2001
Leicestershire bowler Scott Boswell took the gas against Somerset in a one-day final against Somerset in 2001. Boswell bowled two overs for 23, not unusual in a limited over game, except it wasn't the batsmen that gave him stick. Boswell bowled nine wides in the two overs - eight in the second over which included five in a row.
Snowboard cross, Lindsey Jacobellis, Turin Winter Olympics, 2006
When two of the four finalists crashed at the top of the course, reigning world champion Lindsey Jacobellis only had to beat Tanja Frieden of Switzerland to claim the inaugural gold medal in this event. Holding a comfortable lead as she tackled the penultimate jump, Jacobellis showboated, crashed and gifted first place to Frieden.
Golf, Adam Scott, 2012 British Open
For a man who was once dubbed the best golfer never to contend for a major, Adam Scott was looking very comfortable when he birdied the 14th hole of the final round of the British Open. The Australian took a four shot lead over South African Ernie Els and look set to make a mockery of his critics. That was until he finished with four successive bogeys and lost by a shot to Els who traversed the final four holes at one-under par.

Practice squad.
And if he gets claimed.
Good luck to him.
That's worth reiterating. At best right now, we're talking about whether or not the guy's earned a ticket to the regular season roster. There's a long, long way to go from there to backup QB, and longer from backup to starter. That said, I like what we've seen from Tanney so far better than anything I've seen from a number three guy since Garrett's been here. Significantly more than we ever saw from Stephen McGee. If the guy keeps up the current pace of play, he's well-worth a roster spot in my book. A good developmental QB is worth two developmental guys at another position.
When you think he's done this so far without the benefit of OTAs, it's pretty impressive. I also like his attitude and demeanor in this interview clips. He just seems like he's got that QB personality.
I would just hate to see him as the #2 QB (or even #3 as one of the 53) based on one pre-season and a trick-shot reel....I am more concerned that if he really had the pocket presence, then why did two other teams drop him? I would be willing to let him go to the PS and if someone grabs him up, then so be it...it wouldn't hurt the 2013 or 2014 team if he called another city home or if he was still in Big D
If Romo were to get hurt early in the year and miss the rest of the season and Orton replaced him, I expect a whole heck of a lot of us would end up yelling for Tanney if he was on our roster or rueing that he wasn't if we lost him to another team. I just don't think Orton can do anything for our team.
Neither can Tanney at this point.
Dont risk future QB studs.. we coulda lost romo years ago with this thinking..
We lost Moore who could atleast have been our backup all these years..
Don't gamble with the most important position in football.. if you think you see a glimmer. hold on to it.
You're right. But with Tanney, he's got room to grow and you never know what he might become. With Orton, you know what he is and he is on the decline from there. Neither would help this year but with Tanney maybe you could find out something which could help you in the future.
My thoughts exactly.
I'm just saying, if he looks really good in the next two games we got to hold on to him. If Romo were to go down for a game and Tanney looked good, that's a high pick to be had right there. See Flynn
Well.. here's my point of view on this. Before posting anything here I must say that I'm not comparing Tanney here on this post, specially with less than 4 preseason games but, anyway, here's how things had happen in the NFL.
Two cases came to my mind...
one, Tom Brady. Henson was better than him in College, Pats had Bledsoe and got injured and then we all know what happen with Brady.
two, Kurt Warner. Rams had all expectations on Trent Green, he went down on a preseason game and then we all know the story.
Again, I'm not saying or comparing Tanney with this 2 guys (Brady and Warner) but at this point of his career on the NFL he's doing exactly the same thing as Brady or Warner when they were behind big name stars (like Bledsoe and Green). Things happen for a reason and if the guy can play better than Kyle Orton we should go with him.
We need to have the best possible players at every position and not be afraid about getting young people with no expertise on board. Orton had good teams with him previously and nothing happen with the guy so why not giving a chance to a young guy if he plays better and shows that he can do it during the preseason?
I'm sure there are many other stories like the 2 examples I post here and again I'm hoping no one can misunderstood my comment as I'm not comparing the players, I'm just comparing the situations, when those 2 players had their opportunity and make the most if it. You never know what will happen but sometimes you need to take the risks.
Have a great day everyone!
I believe KC cut him because of an injury. And, being cut by other teams is not always a sure sign. LeRoy Glover was cut by both Oakland and New Orleans before his stellar career took off.
KC put him on IR with a hand injury but they didn't cut him until a few months ago. Andy Reid I assume came in and wanted his guys. Glover was already a very good player with the Saints before he came to Dallas. 17 sacks in 2000 alone.
Yes, but that was on his second go-around with New Orleans. My point was that some players don't really "get it" until they are almost out of chances and the last chance may be the one they dedicate themselves to and ultimately succeed because of that inspired dedication. I am not saying that Tanney will be that guy, only that being cut twice does not in and of itself mean he can't play well in this league.
He did get cut his 2nd year with the Raiders but he basically starred for NO as soon as he got there. Raiders just blew it.

Okay. My mistake. But, he was cut twice. That does mean that he had to have another chance on a different team.
I think he was a free agent when the Cowboys signed him. The Cowboys might have cut him when he went to the rams. Not sure on that one but he was getting fairly old by then and Parcells switched to the 3-4.
This you never know what you've got is a poor excuse for keeping the guy.
You need to know what you've got.
This is also not, as someone tried to claim, keeping the guy off a trick shot video. That performance he tossed out going 10-10 was against like talent for a first year player. he threw a pick, but you know what, so did the guy who played before him and the guy who starts does at times as well.
But his accuracy is not something you teach.
Just remember Quincy and that dying duck he threw. Or have we forgotten?
I have no clue what Tanney can be. But from just a small sampling he showed he can complete passes and move the offense.
Now get him some seasoning and then let's see. The odds surely make it sketchy.
But the fact that he has a skill set that is pretty well developed in hitting the receiver with the ball, and this team has run out on the field a guy that couldn't do that on a regular basis, and Tanney's skills appear to be a beginning for him.
Where is his ceiling.
Let's find out. Because Orton will not win consistently, else why is he a back-up at still a young age?
I don't worry about another team IRing the guy. Coming out of DIII, he was always going to need a ton of reps to get to a point where you could even figure out if he had anything worth developing. He's far from a finished product.
That said, Romo would have been cut had Quincy not imploded. Tony worked his butt off each and every year and got better and better and better. He improved enough to earn his shot, and then improved a ton after that over his years as a starter.
All you really want to see at this point from a guy is 1. does he have the tools to be successful and 2. do you see him improving enough with the reps he does get that you think he's got a shot at becoming a starting-caliber player with the limited amount of time you have to develop him. If he's not showing that sort of rapid progress, you don't keep him no matter what you think he might become. If he is, you keep him no matter what 7th LB or 6th WR or 9th OL you'd have to bump from the roster.
LeRoy Glover wasn't a QB and teams are very careful cutting young QB's especially teams that are in need of a QB. The last thing a team wants to do is cut a young QB and have them develop into a great QB somewhere else. You would have to go back a ways to find a young QB who was cut and ended up becoming something special. Someone brought up Unitas being cut by the Steelers but that was decades ago NFL teams really look at these young QB's hard before releasing them.
If they cut one and the kid goes off and becomes another Aaron Rodgers what a tremendous blow that would be a franchise that let them go. This isn't to say Tanney won't amount to anything because you just never know. Kurt was just another QB until he got an opportunity but that was an extremely rare exception. NFL teams seem to be getting better at evaluating these young QB's we've seen more of them the past few seasons hit the ground running as rookies.
I sure would like to see the next Kurt Warner. Makes the NFL more exciting. Who knows, he might just be on the Jaguars or Vikings roster and take them to the SB.

Sticking with a 2-D TV: Because the Third Dimension Should Remain a Novelty
Last week at CES — along with thousands of people who couldn't seem to walk more than ten feet without stopping abruptly in front of me, beautiful booth women who refused to cooperate with my surreptitious photography, and this guy — there were a lot of 3-D TVs. Sony had them. Samsung had them. Toshiba had them. Mitsubishi had them with lasers. They were all anyone could talk about. Yet I found them depressing. Instead of focusing on OLED — the most promising TV tech yet, with a picture so crisp it looks like it has actual depth — everyone (almost) had gotten distracted.
It's not that I don't get the appeal of 3-D. Watching things in 3-D can be spectacular (especially on the new line of Samsungs, which I found particularly striking). Just not on my TV. And not all the time. Like ice cream, 3-D is an occasional treat. To the right situation, it adds an extra degree of pleasure. But once it becomes a part of your routine? Diabetes.
For instance, 2008's Journey to the Center of the Earth. Aside from a cool trick with a yo-yo, there was no reason for that movie to be in 3-D. (There was actually no reason for that movie altogether, but I digress.) If I could watch everything this way, I'd become accustomed to it. Then when something that deserved an extra dimension came along — like Avatar or Modern Family's Sofia Vergara — I would no longer be wowed by its novelty. I'd no longer be wowed at all.
For now, when these TVs do come out (by some optimistic estimates, later in 2010), I'll be leaving my $10,000 in the bank. And I'll be leaving my taste for 3-D footage where it belongs: at the theater.

A seemingly revolving door of ethics scandals has left behind damaged organizations, broken lives mired in financial and personal ruin, and a society skeptical of its business institutions. It has also left business schools asking what role they might have played in these ethical scandals and what role they can play in the solutions.
The Academy of Management is committed to advancing theory, research, education, and practice in the field of management. The Academy publishes six journals, each of which broadly contributes to this objective while emphasizing a particular scholarly aspect of it. The newest journal, the Academy of Management Discoveries (AMD) promotes exploratory empirical research of management and organizational phenomena that our theories do not adequately explain. The Academy of Management Review (AMR) provides a forum to explicate theoretical insights and developments. Articles published in the Academy of Management Journal (AMJ) empirically examine theory-based knowledge. The Academy of Management Learning and Education (AMLE) provides a forum to examine learning processes and management education.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
They have made us an offer, we countered, they insist on a slavaged title and I can no longer keep the rental car even though we are still short a vehicle and claim is still in dispute.
I assume you mean that Hartford is the insurer of another vehicle that was at fault for causing the accident. Insurance companies will sometimes make a total loss offer and insist on deducting "salvage value" and making you keep the car. This is not legal because the measure of damages for a total vehicle is "fair market value", not "fair market value less salvage value". I would let Hartford know you are aware of this and insist that they pay full fair market value (if they just don't want the truck, tell them you will keep it after they pay you full FMV and you can then sell it to a salvage yard).
Whether they continue to be responsible to pay for a rental car will depend on whether their offer of settlement was reasonable. So if they are offering less than FMV, or are insisting on you keeping the vehicle and deducting salvage when they don't have a right to do that, arguably they are still on the hook for the rental.
The problem with all of these issues is if they insist they have offered FMV, insist they can deduct salvage value, and/or stop paying for the rental, your only choice would be to sue them, which may not be practical way to resolve your property damage claim.
If you were injured in the collision, you can consult a personal injury attorney who can help with PD issues.
Good luck.Ask a similar question

Is this your insurance or a 3rd party insurance? If it is your insurance, you may have a bad faith claim. If not, they are simply trying to hang on to as much money as possible. In either case you should consider contacting an attorney to assist you with your claim. Best of luck.

Angrim was an Ithilien Ranger during the period of Faramir's captaincy of the company.
Angrim joined the Ithilien Rangers several months before Faramir assumed the captaincy in July 3006 (see Proof), eventually becoming one of Faramir's lieutenants. He remained a Ranger until his death at the Causeway Forts in March 3019 (see Mercy).
Prior to Angrim's assignment to the Ithilien Rangers, he was ordered by Denethor to provide information on Faramir's conduct of his captaincy, a task he carried out until at least the battle with the Southrons in March 3019 (see Intent). The night before the battle, Angrim confessed to Faramir that he had been Denethor's spy in the company. Faramir was already aware of the fact, and had been for some time prior to the breaking of the bridge at Osgiliath in June 3018 (see Suspicion).
Angrim had a reputation as a "man of letters" amongst the company.
Angrim's name was chosen to give a clue to his treacherous nature: in "Of Beren and Luthien" (The Silmarillion), Angrim is the father of Gorlim the Unhappy, who betrays Barahir to Sauron.
It is not clear whether Angrim ever revealed Hethlin's presence in the Ithilien company to Denethor. It is also not clear to what extent Húrin, Denethor's spy-master (and brother-in-law) was aware of Angrim's special responsibilities concerning his nephew-by-marriage, Faramir.

Scientists have glimpsed a pure white adult orca, or killer whale, while on a research expedition off the far eastern coast of Russia.
The sighting in waters off the Kamchatka peninsula is believed to be the first time such a whale has been seen in the wild.
Researchers said the marine mammal, which they nicknamed Iceberg, was swimming with its mother and siblings and appeared to be fully accepted by its 12-strong family.
White whales are not unheard of, but only young white orcas are thought to have been recorded by marine conservationists before.
The whale was seen by scientists on a research cruise co-led by Erich Hoyt of the Far East Russia orca project.
"We've seen three white orcas in the past few years, but this is the very first time we've seen a mature animal that is all white," Mr Hoyt, a senior research fellow at the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, told The Guardian.
The team is returning to the same waters next month to try to track it down again.
The scientists hope to confirm whether or not Iceberg is an albino by photographing its eyes.
"If we can get a full close-up of the eyes and they are pink, it would confirm Iceberg is an albino, but we don't know much about albinism in orcas," Mr Hoyt said.
Fully albino orcas can have weak immune systems and die young, but partial albinos can live into adulthood.
Iceberg appears to be white all over and, judging by its two-metre dorsal fin, is at least 16 years old, Mr Hoyt said.
"We've photographically identified 1500 orcas in the region in the past 12 years there," he said. "If we see any of his pod and he's not there, we'll know he's gone."
During the expedition from May to September, researchers will lower hydrophones into the sea to record the sounds the whales make.
There are believed to be three to four "clans" of whales in the waters the team surveyed, each with its own distinctive dialect.

Boy, 6, accused of stealing bikes tried to pull officer's gun from holster, police say
In a temper tantrum to end all tantrums, or perhaps a case of fear overtaking reason, police said a 6-year-old boy accused of stealing bicycles tried to pull an officer's gun from his holster.
The boy, who police said was caught stealing bicycles with two siblings on Friday in Troy Hill, hung onto the gun in its holster, kicking and screaming, when Patrolman Paul G. Abel held him away from his body.
The boy tried to kick out windows of a police car and bit Abel's hand, clamping down with his teeth and refusing to let go, police said on Monday.
The boy was treated for a bump on the head in Children's Hospital and taken to UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital for evaluation, police said.
The encounter upset Abel, said Cmdr. RaShall Brackney, who said it was something she hasn't heard about in her 29 years on the city police force.
"He is upset by the incident because he had to use force on a 6-year-old," Brackney said.
She said Abel was forced to hold the child down and handcuff him so he couldn't harm himself or others.
Police did not charge the boy or his brothers, ages 4 and 8, because of their young age, Backney said.
A 16-year-old accused of acting as their lookout will be summoned to appear in Juvenile Court to answer charges, she said. Another alleged lookout, a little girl, is too young to charge, Brackney said.
The boy managed to grab Abel's holstered gun with both hands and remove the retention strap, though he couldn't wrest it from the holster, Brackney said.
Abel answered a call on Straubs Lane at 6:56 p.m. on Friday when a man said he detained the three boys and accused them of stealing his children's bicycles from the backyard.
When Abel crouched down to try to talk to the 6-year-old, Brackney said the boy suddenly grabbed the gun.
Taken by surprise, the officer "lifted the juvenile in the air away from his body," police spokeswoman Diane Richard said, but the boy "began to kick and scream and would not release his grasp from ... the firearm."
Abel placed the boy in the back of the police car, and he began kicking the windows, Brackney and Richard said.
When Abel opened the door to tell the boy to settle down because his mother would soon be there, the child replied "OK," Richard said, but then "he launched his body at the officer, biting into his hand, breaking the skin."
Abel bumped the boy's head while trying to get him under control, Richard said.

We've seen it with numerous titles to date, including Dead Space, Ratchet & Clank, and, more recently, Mass Effect. Now, Santa Monica is presenting its avid followers, and the rest of the industry, a game that has remained a single-player experience through five titles on three devices with its take on multiplayer. God of War is one of the pinnacle experiences to have on any PlayStation console, and Santa Monica is "trying something new" to accent the experience in a fresh way. The multiplayer looks challenging, it looks beautifully gory, but is it what the franchise needs?
First, a synopsis: the first point of the match is to compete against another team of four players for two nodes that control the massive cyclops in the background via chains, intended on the ultimate victory being to slay the monstrosity. Players exact combos on their opponents in a similar fashion that would be done to any creature in the single player experience.
Now, let's say that this multiplayer really will be the "Bee's Knees," and this Control-and-Defend mode can take players on an experience that can't be had in a story. I'd like to ask why take something that's as major as slaying a massive cyclops potentially out of the plot and put it into something that's readily repeatable? In these terms, it's hard to really believe that something this big and involved can be dwarfed by the single-player experience—but if it can, which I hope, it will be incredible.
What if it's not so great? What if it turns into the multiplayer like Dead Space had? Sure, that multiplayer was unique, for the most part, and it had a nice twist on the industry. Unfortunately, people are still playing the same multiplayer games that have resided in their consoles longer than Dead Space 2 has been live. Surely, Santa Monica doesn't want this, as I'm sure Visceral Games didn't intend with Dead Space 2. It's hard to conceive, though, the fighting scheme native to the series presented in an online setting, especially since lag is an issue that's far too consistent. So, with all of this in mind, Santa Monica has a lot of work in store.
Even as I ponder it more and more, the sheer reality of it all has started to sink in; maybe a little too deeply. My own thoughts have begun to hype the expected experience coming from this AAA title, and I hope that my preconceptions don't ruin it. This is in regards to the "removal of the cyclops from story mode" concept that I mentioned earlier. If this online experience compares to the story in a scaled fashion, as I feel it should, this game could really be the "most anticipated God of War title to date."
But really, since I'm not the only fan of the franchise, what do you guys think? Does Ascension have what it takes to redefine an online experience, or will it take away from what we've grown to love?

Should women preach?

Often, we forget that the epistles were written to specific churches with problems unique to those congregations. St Paulĺs injunction against women having the pre-eminence over a man should be observed in the light of Corinthĺs history.
At the time, Paul wrote his letter, Corinth was a bustling cosmopolitan center. Busy international trading ports often were meeting grounds for different cults and religions and so Corinthĺs sophisticated inhabitants believed in one or more of many cults, religions and philosophies. More to the point, it was the center of the worship of the God Bacchus.
Devotees of Bacchus -- the Bacchantes-- believed in an ecstatic religion in which the spirit of the god usurped the spirit of the believer (with aid of alcohol and dancing) and brought ecstasy. The followers of Bacchus were primarily women. This led to a feeling that women were more open to the controlling of the Godĺs spirit.
Situated in Corinth, the Corinthian church could not help but be contaminated by its surroundings. Remember, this was the church that had to be told by St Paul that a man should not have sexual intercourse with his fatherĺs wife. Paul had to rebuke the entire church because the church was glorying in what was their shame. (This error rose from Gnosticism in which the believers felt that the body was impure and the flesh pure, therefore whatever a person did with his own body was not sinful because the flesh could not contaminate the spirit. So in their minds, it was obvious that sex with a stepmother by a purely spiritual person was not sinful.) When word got around to Paul about this situation ľthe first letter Paul wrote about this situation is lost and the letter we know as I Corinthian is really the second letter, the II Corinthian letter is the third)-- St Paul had to remind the church that the body is the temple of God and that sin against the body does define the spirit.
But back to women and pre-eminence. Note that Paul only says this to the Corinthian church: Because women had such pre-eminence and special places in the Bacchus, it was only too
easy for these women ľonce converted-- to believe that they were somehow more connected to God than the men in the congregation. They were also prone to be a little on the wild side
whenever Godĺs Holy Spirit descended on them. Seeing all this confusion, Paul had to set the church and the women straight. In his letter, he told these new converts that the spirit of the
believer was subject to the believer...(Plain and simply, these women couldnĺt say that they were taken over in ecstasy.) He reminded them that all things should be done decently and in order. (Just in case these women really started going over the edge.) And he kept them to keep their heads covered. (The Bacchantes danced head uncovered and sometimes topless.) He also had to remind them of two more things. Godĺs own definition of love and Jesusĺ death in the flesh. The gnostics among them kept claiming that Jesus only seemed to die. St Paul had to do his best to keep the culture out of the church.
What Paul actually meant by ôI donĺt want women to have pre-eminence over a manö is not easily comprehensible to modern Bible readers. For one thing, we donĺt know what he was actually talking about. Was he talking about worship-leaders? Preachers? Bishops? Phillip, if you remember, had seven daughters who were prophetesses. In the old testament, Deborah was willing to submit under Barak, but he was such a coward, she did his job. The first person God entrusted to preach the good news of His resurrection was Mary Magdalene, a women. St Paul tells us that Eve was deceived and not Adam implying that women could be deceived in their preaching. And yet, in writing to another congregation, The Colossians, ľwho were not as New Age flaky as the Corinthians, Paul said, ôIn Christ, there is no male or female.ö In certain instances sex and gender is important. But is preaching one of them?
Letĺs face it: we live in a time when many male preachers are deceived and cowardly. But we also live in a time too when anti-male bias exists in the media who use words like patriarchal as if patriarchy was something terribly old-fashioned and bad. We live in a time, when this bias against men also affects spiritualityľ All those ôGod is a womanö and Gaia spirituality popping up everywhere. And we also live in a world where much of our Bible interpretation is hampered because, for centuries, men ľusually white men-- are the ones interpreting and preaching the story. For instance, would Michal or Hagar or the much-divorced Samaritan woman at the well have been treated so shabbily in Christian sermons if women were interpreting her story? Surely, we would have been more compassionate and understanding about the cases of women who were so easily dumped because of the middle eastern rules on divorce?
The question of women preaching is a complicated one. But I believe love, discernment, and God's call is the answer: not what a personĺs sex is. The most famous part of this letter is what Christians commonly refer to as the Love Chapter. Love was very important to the early church. St James calls love, ôthe royal law.ö St John writes a gospel and three letters and makes love and fellowship the key point. This is St Paulĺs doctrine of love. The love chapter itself is clear enough. We're told what love is, what love does and does not do, the powers and virtues of love.
St Paul makes sure that the worldĺs idea of spirituality doesnĺt taint his converts in the Corinthian church. He differentiates between what the worldĺs (Bacchus and the gnostics and the
stoics) idea of spirituality is and then he tells them what the truly godly gifts are. But lest they boast ľas this church was prone to arguments and comparing spirituality-- he further tells the Corinthian church that it is not enough to have faith to remove mountains or to speak with angelic or human languages or even to give all one's goods to feed the poor or to have all kinds of spiritual gifts even such wonderful gifts as healing. None of this makes a person spiritual.
The key to true spirituality is love. Paul tells us that in the end, Faith, Hope and Love will be the only things that last. And the greatest of these is Love. A true preacher loves God and loves people. And the plain fact is that many are called and many people are preaching. It was a woman -- Mother Theresa-- who brought the love of Christ to the dying poor in India. She did not preach in the "semantic sense." But she brought the love of Christ. So far, no man has taken up the cross to take care of these poor. Perhaps there are places where men --like Barak-- refuse to go. If that is so, then God will use women. Anyway, at this point in history --the endtimes when we are all called to share the gospel-- it seems kind of stupid to forbid women from publishing the Word of God. Even stupider for women to give up ministries they might have created simply because they have the wrong sexual organs. I therefore say: Let the man or woman of love and discernment preach! And forbid them not.

The comments amused me,honestly. Thanks for writing the article!! Men, don't get frightened when God calls women into preaching... Get frightened when he calls you to be Bishops! :-) My credo is: It is our DUTY !! to proclaim the Gospel and this leaves a lot of "room" for men and women to preach and teach and share the word of God. Don't be frigthened to open your mouths, ladies, and get the word out and particularly if you have words of wisdom to share. And, Gentlemen, I have come across far too many reluctant Christian men who don't want to open their mouths for Jesus at all. So get out there and tell the world about your joy in the Lord and don't put women down who are bold and caring enough to do so if you can't even get moving at all. I pray for more discerning Christians to rise up and carefully listen to all words spoken in the name of God. Wether these teachings come from men or women, bishops, pastors or Sunday school teachers. P.S. I am a woman! :-)
Hate to break it to you, but you've left out a whole lot of doctrine on this topic. Both from the OT and the NT. Suffice it to say that ALL Christians are 'proclaimers' of the Word (Matt. 28) but ONLY MEN are supposed to hold the posts of Bishop, Pastor, Deacon. You neglected to check Titus 2, which is very specific about the roles w/in the church. Jesus himself did NOT sanction women in leadership roles OVER men...and Paul backs him up in at least two epistles. Many of the women in the Bible who stepped out of line with God in the OT/NT wound up DESTROYED. Do NOT try to use 'social permission' to justify sin. That's why the church is weakened NOW!
Good article, very clear and concise. You write with a good strong voice. One thing I would question though is that Paul speaks of women not preaching not just in corinthians (1Tim. 2:11-12) I would also caution againt interpreting scripture through a cultural anthropological lense. We cannot just re-define what authors might have written because of certain cultural factors that affected the times. However I think that there is more than meets the eye in Paul's instructions and it is a great challenge that must be taken with prudence. I think your article reflected that prudence and I commend you for that. God Bless
Reading ÔÇśdoctrineÔÇÖ based upon social norms of the time bothers me. What this writer is saying (or so it appears to me) is that this instruction was given specifically to the recipient of the letter and does not apply to us today. (Am I wrong?) How much, then, of the epistles is directed to individuals or individual churches of the time, and how much applies to us today? How can we tell which parts apply to which audience? Do we say that all the epistles apply to only those to whom they are addressed and, therefore, have no relevance to us today and should, probably, not even have been included in our Bible. Or do we say (naively or otherwise) that ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD BREATHED and is there for our instruction etc. Is this, perhaps, the end times that we are warned about where there will be a lot of false teaching and false teachers? Many will go (or be led) through the wide gate to destruction. I personally believe that we should use the Bible as our FIRST source of reference and be very weary of teaching which relies upon ÔÇśhow things were at the time of writingÔÇÖ. If we believe (as I have read from some ÔÇśteachersÔÇÖ of the word) that Christ changed, or removed, much of the law from the OT, and what we read (in articles similar to this one) that the epistles were meant only for those to whom they were addressed then we have no OT and no epistles which leaves us with only the gospels. Not much of a Bible to go on. Not much of a Bible to build ones faith on.
You have written a well-thought-out article and one that deals compassionately, intelligently, and historically and scripturally sound article (lots of adjectives here but I couldn't think of a better way to say it). When anyone raises the question, in question, I think about Corrie ten Boom. The proof of the pudding is in the eating and who could ever doubt God's call and anointing on this woman's life and ministry? That there are others, many of them, I am sure, but I love her so much she comes first to mind. On another hand, with the issue of a woman holding the office of pastor I might contend, but I do allow (albeit somewhat reluctantly) for freedom of individual conscience in interpretation of scripture on that subject. I really appreciated this very good article.
You provide a nice bit of background and context for this topic...one I'm actually struggling with in my new church. On a personal level, I find it difficult to accept, particularly since preachers and deacons are meant to minister to the whole congregation--not just the male portion. Another difficulty for me is that the apostles (according to scripture) and later church figures all seem to have been more conservative in regard to their views of women's capacity to serve than did the focus of our faith--Jesus. But I digress...thank you for sharing such an interesting and informative piece.
Todd: In the Bible, bishops were over a group of home churches. Now, dpending on the denominations, a bishop is over one church or a city. In Paul's lists of spiritual gifts, he differentiates between preachers and other church leaders. This article was on preaching, not on bishops, another question entirely and not one dealt with in this article. not interpretation but a matter of semantics.
Paul also deals with this issue in Timothy. In 1 Timothy Chapter 3 on the qualifications of Elders and Bishops, (Pastors). He tells Timothy that they should be a man of one wife. This leaves little room for interpretation on Gender.

Big news for Lost in Showbiz's favourite Baldwin brother – no, not Billy, although Sliver will always be a most-played on LiS's personal laptop. I'm talking about Stephen, of course – once best known for wielding his strange, whispery voice to threatening effect in The Usual Suspects, now best known for wielding his strange, whispery voice to hilarious effect on celebrity reality TV shows.
Anyway, Stephen has fallen on hard times, financially speaking. Some would say this is down to his annoying habit of constantly barking on about God, making it difficult to work with him for more than 10 minutes at a time; others say it is because Stephen is a modern-day Job.
Restorestephenbaldwin.org makes this long-overdue comparison, pointing out that, just as Job turned down starring in a wide range of straight-to-video films based on computer games, so has Stephen. And so, a Stephen fan – who is not, repeat, not Stephen Baldwin – has set up a website begging for cash and he has done so "with the permission of Stephen's ministry president Daniel Southern". Encouragement, even maybe. Aptly, the Stephen fan set up the website after he saw Stephen on Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice, which is funny because Job was on that, too. The suggested donation is $4.21, because 42:10-11 is the passage in the Book of Job that points out the blessed similarities between Job and Stephen Baldwin: "And lo, the little ones shall come unto me when I have preached more homophobia, and they shall say, set up a website with PayPal, and the doors of heaven shall open."

Italy Bans Four
Novartis AG
) Flu Vaccines Amid Side-Effects Probe
Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation
Jobs at Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation
The Italian health ministry said on Wednesday that it had imposed an immediate ban on the sale and use of four anti-influenza vaccines produced by Swiss drugs group Novartis pending tests for possible side effects. The ministry said it advised citizens not to buy or use the drugs Agrippal, Fluad, subunit Influpozzi and adjunvated Influpozzi until further notice. It said 487,738 vaccine doses were affected. The move comes after the Italian Pharmaceutical Agency decided that further tests on the products may be necessary following indications of possible side effects. Novartis was not immediately available for comment. Last week Italy's health ministry said Netherlands-based vaccine maker Crucell, a unit of U.S. drugmaker Johnson & Johnson, had suspended a delivery of 2.36 million seasonal flu vaccine doses to Italy after finding problems with two lots of it.

Occupy's 1st Anniversary Was a Party with Politics in San Francisco
A large number of peaceful but rowdy protesters came out on September 17 in San Francisco to mark the first anniversary of Occupy Wall Street. The street party ended with the symbolic tearing-up of debt papers in front of corporate Wells Fargo offices downtown. At its height, around 5:30, the march filled two city blocks with banners, signs and the Brass Liberation Orchestra. Smaller actions, which fed into the final march, took place earlier in the afternoon.
The idea of a debt strike, symbolized by the trash can protesters filled with "debt papers" Monday, is one of the trends coming out of Occupy Wall Street that may have a far-reaching effect, according to observers. Fighting foreclosure is another, as are environmental issues, brought to the forefront in the Bay Area recently by an explosion at the Chevron plant in Richmond that blackened the skies of the East Bay. Mainstream television, radio and newspapers were out in full force Monday, affecting surprise Occupy is still alive. However, more large actions are less likely than community-oriented organizing for the time being.

Puerto Galera budget travel guide
Puerto Galera is a four hour bus and boat ride out of Manila. The bus passes the Enchanted Kingdom as it snakes its way toward Batangas
and the ferry port to Mindoro
Coco beach Puerto Galera
The best place to stay is at Tina's Upstairs on Sabang seafront. Turn left as you disembark the boat and Tina's is located 200 meters down the coast. Rooms with colour TV. Fridge and bath are 300 pesos per night. There's hammocks on the balcony to laze your afternoons away on with a great view of the coast.
Sabang beach Puerto Galera
Sabang beach itself is quite unimpressive but further along the coast is Big La Laguna beach and Coco beach. The latter is ideal for snorkelling and equipment (fins, mask etc.) can be hired from the sari stores on the seafront.
Without doubt one of the best most economical places to eat in Sabang is at Sabang Fast-food. Friendly staff and cleanliness make this fully-fledged restraunt the best culinary experience in Sabang
You can hire a 200cc Trials bike for $14 a day ... Some places charges $25+ (enquire at THE PUB) in the heart of Sabang village
THE PUB has the best selection of rock music a great sound system, draught beer
and a very friendly cat called Kat.
About 12km west of Sabang is White beach. Typical Philippine beach scene with lots of mini bars and a healthy population of hawkers selling jewellery pearls and fake Rolex watches. Plenty of transvestites in evidence here as well
Lots of available rooms here but they're quite expensive in terms of what you get compared to Tina's Upstairs on Sabang seafront.
White beach makes a good day trip out of Sabang.

Man tried to burn down toilets, then rang 111
A man who tried to burn down a Milton public toilet on Christmas Eve last year has been sentenced to five months' home detention.
Andrew Magnus Healey, meatworker, of Milton, was sentenced in Balclutha District Court in Gore last week by Judge Stephen O'Driscoll after pleading guilty to arson.
He had gone to a petrol station and bought 88c of fuel before going to the toilets, the court was told. He went inside and set a fire with toilet paper in the men's cubicle before doing the same in the women's toilet, then went to a telephone box and called the fire service to say what he had done.
Healey had previous convictions for setting fire to property in 1995 and falsely reporting a fire in 1999, Judge O'Driscoll said.
Healey's lawyer, John Westgate, said his client was depressed at the time of the offending, and it was a low-level offence. He had engaged with community work and restorative justice well, Mr Westgate said.
Judge O'Driscoll said Healey had previously completed a home detention sentence and the lack of damage to the property meant a prison sentence was not suitable.
He sentenced Healey to five months' home detention and 150 hours' community work and told him any further offending would result in a jail sentence.
Tane James Whaanga, 18, was remanded to January 14 for sentence for assault with intent to injure during a fight at a touch rugby competition on November 8. Whaanga was with a group of youths who attacked a 14-year-old boy. The victim suffered four chipped teeth.
