Citizens of the UK will have a new way to enjoy their BBC programming, especially if they have a Nokia N96. The BBC has announced that the Nokia N96 will be one of the first mobile phones with the ability to support the BBC iPlayer. The application will be available via the BBC website beginning October 1st in addition to being preloaded on some UK mobile phones.
The iPlayer will allow mobile users to download and stream BBC TV and radio programs from the past seven days. The availability of the iPlayer for mobile phones is nothing new. After all, it is currently available for the iPhone and the iTouch.
What makes this new player to be offered in October unique is that users can actually download content. Currently, media can only be viewed from streaming programs. The good news for iPlayer users is that the iPlayer service will be offered free of charge by Nokia, but that's not to say that subscribers shouldn't be aware to any data charges incurred as a result of streaming or downloading programs.

I'd be interested in this too, because apparently the AT&T Note and the T-Mobile Note have exactly the same hardware. There was a post in the general forum that some guy supposedly installed an ATT "room" on his TMob Note and everything works fine. Seriously he said room like 10x which is why I think I glanced over the thread so many times without realizing what he was actually talking about.

LINCOLNTON — The Lincolnton Lady Wolves girls varsity basketball team extended its Southern Piedmont Conference win streak to six games with a narrow 38-35 victory over the West Lincoln Lady Rebels on Friday.
The Lady Rebels (5-9, 3-3) opened the fourth quarter with an 8-0 run to take a 29-25 lead over Lincolnton with under five minutes left in the game. West Lincoln senior Taylor Sutton executed a steal and a layup to tie the game at 25-25 with just under six minutes left in the fourth quarter. Sophomore Madison Ferguson nailed a short jump shot to put the Lady Rebels on top 27-25 with 5:17 to play and Sutton banked in a shot from the foul line to give West Lincoln a 29-25 cushion.
That's when first-place Lincolnton (11-3, 6-0) clawed its way back into the game.
Alexis Killian hit a pair of free throws to cut West Lincoln's lead to 29-27. West Lincoln senior Rylee Marsh sank a layup to give West Lincoln a 31-27 lead but Lincolnton's Bridgett Derr made a free throw, Treasure Avery hit a short jumper and Nadia Byers nailed a 3-pointer to put Lincolnton on top 33-31 with 2:55 left to play.
West Lincoln senior Brittany Ormand made a pair of free throws to knot the game at 33-33 but Avery followed up with a jumper and Sydney Devine made a free throw to put Lincolnton ahead 36-33.
Marsh made two free throws with 23 seconds left in the game to cut Lincolnton's lead to 36-35 but Killian made two more free throws with less than one second left to ice the game.
Lincolnton took an 8-6 lead out of the first quarter and led 20-16 at halftime. Marsh tied the game at 16-16 with a pair of free throws with one minutes left before the halftime break but Devine stole the ball and made a layup with seven seconds left and Avery made a steal and a layup just before the buzzer to give Lincolnton a four-point halftime lead.
Lincolnton travels to Cherryville (3-13, 1-5) on Tuesday. West Lincoln hosts Bessemer City (7-7, 3-3).

Why is the Ruger LCP banned in Calif?
Seems the Ruger LCP .380 is banned in Calif. But is it just banned from dealer sales?, or is it banned from ownership period
Can a Calif resident own one if, for example, they acquired the gun through an estate will or trust? What if I own one here in Arizona, then move to Calif?
And can anyone explain what makes that model of gun a no-no in the land of Calif anyway?
Thanks for any info/clarification...
The LCP isn't banned, however it is only available to law enforcement. The same with the Sig P238.
Why can't you have mags larger than 10 rounds in cali? I think the answer to this question is likely the same.
My understanding is that a maker must submit the SPECIFIC model gun to CA Dept of Justice for "safety" testing, and receive an approval for it to be sold at retail in CA. When I say SPECIFIC, I mean THAT barrel length, THAT finish, etc etc etc. If not approved by CA DOJ, no sales. Think you CAN bring a gun into the state, but you need to check with CA DOJ.
Me, would move to Costa Rica and live on the beach before moving there. And I will be in San Diego for a week in mid November.
(No insult to Californians- my sister was one- I'm just allergic to your politicians)
It has no magazine disconnector safety, and therefore is not approved for sale.
You want to hear something weird? If an LEO wants to sell his LCP, I can then buy it in a private sale/person to person transfer. Amazing, huh?
So...could I buy one here in AZ, and then do a private party sale/transfer it to a Calif resident?
OP. They nailed it, the LCP can not be sold new to a citizen from a dealer, however if you have a PD friend that decides to sell one to you used, you can do a private sale.

All About Jazz: ScoLoHoFo, how serendipitous for the Blue Note marketing department.
Joe Lovano: Well, it depends whose tune we're playing. It will be HoScoLoFo or ScoLoHoFo or LoHoScoFo. We just turn it inside out. I guess everyone knows the band as ScoLoHoFo and that is how it is going to read on the recording.
FJ: Your thoughts on John Scofield.
JL: We first met in Boston in the early Seventies. We both went to Berklee College of Music at the same time and played, at that point, in some sessions and things and heard each other and became friends at that time. Through the years, we both moved to New York in the mid-Seventies and had been colleagues on the scene here all those years. In the late Eighties, I joined John's quartet. I think it was around 1989 and was a member of his quartet right at the time he was just signing with Blue Note and so was I, in that period. I played with John's group until '93, I guess, so it was about four years. We did quite a few recordings together and toured all over the place. So this whole collaboration with Dave Holland and Al and John and I really kind of, playing in John's quartet was a springboard into this project. Musically, John is one of the most swinging guitar players on the scene of musicians, as far as an accompanist and a frontline player also. We share a lot of different conceptions together throughout the music, the way we play together because John is part of the rhythm section and he is also part of the frontline with me. So there is a real ensemble concept in John's playing that is beautiful.
FJ: Dave Holland.
JL: Dave is, well, he has been, long before I ever met Dave, he was on some of my favorite recordings and playing with all the people that I was listening to coming up, Miles and Chick Corea, his trios with Chick and the group with Anthony Braxton (Circle) and Chick and then I heard him a lot with Sam Rivers and also with Braxton when I first came to New York in the mid-Seventies, they were playing a lot together. Dave was one of those cats that was an inspiration as far as an improviser and creative musician. All the music he has been involved with his whole life has been just some beautiful, creative exploration. He has been a part of a few of my sessions. One of my first records on Blue Note with Ed Blackwell on drums and Michel Petrucciani on piano called From the Soul. That was the first time, I think, we might have recorded together. And then he is also on my Trio Fascination recording with Elvin Jones, which was a beautiful experience to have him and Elvin together on a session. I heard him with Blackwell a lot also with Karl Berger and in some different situations through the years too. That was a really great collaboration, From the Soul, to play with him and Blackwell together and now with Al because Al is a direct line from Max, Philly Joe Jones, and Blackwell, and Billy Higgins.
FJ: And Al.
JL: Al and I have been playing together since maybe the early Nineties. We did a couple of gigs. He played with me at the Vanguard and a few recordings. He is on the recording I did called Celebrating Sinatra that had woodwinds and a string quartet and a trio with Al and I and George Mraz on bass. That was a really beautiful and creatively crafted session that Manny Albam did orchestrations for and I had him write very sparse parts for Al, so he could just play with his interpretations and be very free within an orchestrated date because Al is one of the most creative improvisers, Fred. He is so free and flexible on his instrument and he has got the most beautiful finesse and sound. His sound on the drums are incredible. He plays the full range of the kit like it's a piano. He is fabulous. Al is really beautiful because he has an open phrasing conception where there is a complete dialogue with him all the time and when the solo is changed and different people play, the energy changes and the moods change throughout your choruses, very dynamic and spontaneous within the form of whatever tune you're playing. There is nothing that is just routine. It is very open and free and that is how the whole group plays. That is how we play together as a band, so there is a lot of dialogue and dynamic shifting and spontaneous orchestrations.
FJ: So this is not a marketing all-star jam session.

Why RBI may not aggressively cut rates in H1 FY2013...
FY12 ended with (a) a market already crowded with government paper and (b) a structural liquidity deficit that was partly eased with an end-of-fiscal year CRR cut.

CORRIE actress Paula Lane is worried her co-star Jack P Shepherd might ruin her wedding day with one of his trademark practical jokes.
The 26-year-old, who plays Jack's screen wife Kylie Platt, has invited the soap badboy along to her big day – set for 2014 – but has made him swear to behave himself.
Paula, who is engaged to actor Tom Shaw, said: "Hopefully some of the cast will come for a glass of bubbly. Katherine Kelly and Catherine Tyldesley are great mates so they'll be there, and of course Jack P Shepherd. I just hope he doesn't play any pranks – I wouldn't put it past him."
And she insisted that her marriage would be nothing like her Coronation Street alter-ego's.
"Kylie wouldn't expect a proposal like mine. David did it by text message."
She added. "Myself and Kylie are worlds apart. Sometimes Kylie does emerge, bad drivers really anger me and in those moments my friends are like, 'Ooh, Kylie's creeping out.'"

Cat Power Overview
Cat Power is the stage name of American singer/songwriter Chan Marshall (born Charlyn Marie Marshall on January 21, 1972). She is known for her minimalist Minimalist music style, sparse guitar and piano playing, and breathy vocals.
Chan Marshall was born in Atlanta, Georgia Georgia (U.S. state) . Marshall's father, Charlie, is a blues musician and itinerant pianist. Her childhood involved much upheaval, with Marshall living throughout the Southern United States (Greensboro, North Carolina; Bartlett, Tennessee; and Georgia and South Carolina), back and forth between parents and her grandmother. In interviews she has openly discussed her childhood and stated that the constant traveling prepared her for the touring life of a professional musician.
's "Blue Blue (Joni Mitchell song) "
After dropping out of high school, she started performing under the name Cat Power while in Atlanta, backed by musicians Glen Thrasher, Marc Moore, and others. While in Atlanta, Marshall played her first live shows as support to her friends' bands, including Magic Bone and Opal Foxx Quartet Benjamin Smoke . Due to her close relationships with the various people involved, she has stated that her involvement in music at this time was primarily a social interest rather than an artistic one. She also stated in a 2007 interview for Soft Focus that the music itself was more experimental and that playing shows was often an opportunity for her and her friends to get drunk and take drugs.
Early years: 1992-1999
In 1992 she moved to New York City with Glen Thrasher. It was Thrasher who introduced her to New York's free-jazz and experimental music scene. In particular she cites a concert by Anthony Braxton with giving her the confidence to perform in public. Her first New York show was at a warehouse in Brooklyn and she has described her early New York shows as "more improvisational." One of her shows during this period was as the support act to Man or Astro-man? and consisted of her playing a two string guitar and singing the word "no" for fifteen minutes. Around this time she made the acquaintance of God Is My Co-Pilot God Is My Co-Pilot (band) , a relationship that resulted in them releasing her first single "Headlights" in a limited run of 500 copies on their Making of Americans label.
In 1994 she opened for Liz Phair in New York. In attendance were Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth and Tim Foljahn of Two Dollar Guitar, who encouraged her to record, and played on her first two albums, 1995's Dear Sir and 1996's Myra Lee, the latter taking its name from Marshall's mother. Both albums were recorded in New York on the same day in December 1994 and display a lack of conventional song structures. In 1996 she was signed to Matador Records and, along with Foljahn and Shelley, recorded her third album, What Would the Community Think, which spawned a single Single (music) and music video, "*** as the News".
In late 1996, following a three-month tour co-headlining with the band Guv'ner in support of the release of What Would the Community Think, Marshall disappeared from the music scene, initially working as a baby sitter Babysitting in Portland, Oregon and then moving to a farmhouse in Prosperity, South Carolina with then boyfriend Bill Callahan Bill Callahan (musician) . The plan was to permanently retire from public performance but during a sleepless night resulting from a nightmare, Marshall wrote several new songs. These songs would make up the bulk of Moon Pix. The record was recorded at Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne in eleven days with backing musicians Mick Turner and Jim White Jim White (drummer) of the Dirty Three. The album was well-received by critics, and gained her recognition in the indie rock scene. However, during subsequent tours Marshall states that she had grown tired of her own material. This resulted in a series of shows during 1999 where Marshall provided musical accompaniment to the silent movie The Passion of Joan of Arc. The shows combined original material and many covers, many of which would later see release on The Covers Record, a collection of cover songs recorded at various sessions in 1998 and 1999. A selection of covers that didn't make it on to the album were recorded at Peel Acres, home of the British DJ John Peel. The session was broadcast on his BBC Radio 1 show and featured Marshall's own interpretations of Bob Dylan's "Hard Times in New York Town The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991#Disc one " and Oasis Oasis (band) 's "Wonderwall Wonderwall (song) ", amongst others.
Personal struggles: 2000-2006
By the start of the decade, Marshall's live performances had become erratic and unpredictable, with the New Yorker suggesting, "It is foolhardy to describe a Cat Power event as a concert" before citing "rambling confessions" and "[talking] to a friend's baby from the stage." Marshall later attributed this period to a drinking problem, telling HARP magazine in 2006 "I didn't know I was messed up."
In 2003 she resumed releasing original material with You Are Free, which featured guest musicians such as Eddie Vedder, Dave Grohl, and the Dirty Three's Warren Ellis Warren Ellis (musician) . A music video directed by Brett Vapnek, was released for the song "He War".
2004 saw the release of a DVD Speaking for Trees, which featured a single, nearly 2-hour static shot of Marshall performing in a woodland, and was accompanied by an audio CD containing the eighteen-minute song "Willie Deadwilder", featuring M. Ward on guitar. Also this year Marshall lent her vocals to the track "I've Been Thinking" from the Handsome Boy Modeling School album, White People. Marshall toured through 2005, including an Australian tour supporting Nick Cave and an appearance at the Patti Smith-curated Meltdown festival. The shows largely consisted of material that would appear on her next album. In 2005 Marshall was featured on the song "Great Waves" from Dirty Three's album Cinder Cinder (album) .
The Greatest The Greatest (Cat Power album) , was released in January 2006. This was not a greatest hits record but rather the Matador Records-arranged collaboration with Al Green's guitarist Teenie Hodges and other musicians. Following its release, Marshall canceled previously arranged live shows in North America and Europe. She was struggling with a relationship with a young Miami investment banker. Ultimately, Marshall used the hiatus to recover from what she described as a "psychotic break" that had left her feeling suicidal and was brought on by mental exhaustion and alcohol abuse. As part of her recovery she was admitted to the psychiatric ward at Miami's Mount Sinai Medical Center but left after a week, stating "being in there wasn't me." She later likened the experience to "a pit of hell."
She returned to live performance in April 2006, playing with the Memphis Rhythm Band and as a solo performer, including a performance at a Bob Dylan tribute concert in New York (a fund raiser for the charity "Music for Youth").
Critical and commercial success: 2007 - present
Marshall put together a new band in Winter 2006 with whom she toured and recorded throughout 2007. The Dirty Delta Blues Band features Judah Bauer (from Blues Explosion), Gregg Foreman (The Delta 72), Erik Paparazzi (Lizard Music), and Jim White Jim White (drummer) (from Dirty Three).
Also in 2007, she became the first female solo act to win the Shortlist Music Prize when The Greatest was voted album of the year in June. Earlier in the year she was nominated in the Best International Female Solo Artist category at the annual Brit Awards. The Dirty Delta Blues band recorded an album of covers called Jukebox Jukebox (Cat Power album) which was released on January 22, 2008, on Matador Records.
In September 2008, Marshall and members of the Dirty Delta Blues (Erik Paparazzi & Gregg Foreman) recorded their version of David Bowie's Space Oddity Space Oddity (song) for a Lincoln Lincoln (automobile) car commercial.
On December 9, 2008, an EP entitled Dark End of the Street Dark End of the Street (Cat Power album) was released by Matador. The release consists of left-over cover songs from the Jukebox sessions.
A version of the gospel song "Amazing Grace" - culled from a live performance during her recent tour with the Dirty Delta Blues band - was released on the 4AD charity compilation Dark Was The Night: A Red Hot Compilation Dark Was the Night , available from February 17, 2009.
In an article from Spin Spin (magazine) , Marshall says of her next proper studio LP, "I'm producing it. One song is called "Leopard," I used to sing it when I was 26. There's another song, a spiritual song called "Mountaintops." And there's a really sweet song called "Funny Things" that's like a little kid's tap-dance song about having special secret thoughts: "Funny things in your dreams/Can you whisper talk to me?" And then there's "Silent Machine," which I actually wrote a long time ago. There's another song called "Oh Time." It's about my ex and it's about forgiveness. My friend Susanna always cries when I play it."
In an interview with prominent Australian music journalist Nick Milligan for Reverb Magazine's January 2010 issue, Marshall revealed some of her feelings towards the act of recording music. "Once a song is recorded, it's taken for granted that that's what the song sounds like," Marshall said. "I feel like that's not true. Once you've played the song a thousand times, your life experiences affect the way you perform the song and the way the song actually grows and lives. The recording should actually come after - it just seems weird that you record the song and then play it afterwards. I don't know how to feel good about recording. It's strange - it's like trapping ghosts. It's like math. Or trapping the meaning of life. That doesn't really feel right."
Collaborations and contributions
Around this time, Marshall collaborated with Mick Collins (of The Dirtbombs) on a recording of Ludwig Rellstab's poem "Auf Dem Strom" for the film Wayne County Ramblin'. Marshall sang the poem in German, though she does not speak the language.
Since returning to the stage Marshall has contributed guest vocals to several albums. She performed a duet with model Karen Elson on an English cover of Serge Gainsbourg's "Je t'aime... moi non plus" for the tribute album Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited. She also sang lead vocal on the Ensemble Olivier Alary track "Disown, Delete" and reworked "Revelations" with Yoko Ono for Ono's 2007 album Yes, I'm a Witch. She also performed guest vocals for Faithless and El-P. She also duets on the Dexter Romweber Duo song "Love Letters".
In 2007, Marshall contributed songs to the soundtrack of Ethan Hawke's new movie The Hottest State, recording with Jesse Harris and Terry Manning, and the Academy Award-winning Juno Juno (film) .
In early 2008, she collaborated with Beck and producer Danger Mouse on the album Modern Guilt. She contributed backing vocals to two tracks, "Orphans" and "Walls". The album was released in July of that year.
In V for Vendetta V for Vendetta (film) Cat Power's cover of The Velvet Underground song "I Found a Reason" is played on V's jukebox.
"Maybe Not" of the album You Are Free was featured and in the prom scene in the movie The Quiet.
The Jukebox Jukebox (Cat Power album) version of "Metal Heart" was played during the closing scene in the episode Crime Slut (season 1, episode 4) of the TV-series The Unusuals.
Two songs, "Living Proof" and "The Greatest", make an appearance in Wong Kar Wai's first movie in English, My Blueberry Nights.
Cat Power's cover of "Hanging on the Telephone" was used for a 2005 Cingular commercial.
Cat Power's cover of Cat Stevens's "How Can I Tell You" was featured in a 2006 commercial for DeBeers.
Cat Power's cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity Space Oddity (song) " was featured in a 2008 car commercial for the 2009 Lincoln MKS.
Cat Power's cover of Michael Hurley's "Werewolf", from her album You are Free, is played during Jessica Biel's strip dance performance in the movie Powder Blue Powder Blue (film) released in 2009; the same song is also featured in Broken Embraces staring Penelope Cruz.
Cat Power's song "Half of You", from the album You Are Free, was featured on the HBO show True Blood in an episode 6 love scene, and "Fool", from the same album, was featured in episode 4 of the third series of UK teen drama Skins Skins (TV series)#Series 3 .
Cat Power's song "The Greatest," from her album The Greatest, was featured in the 2009 film 17 Again (film).
The TV show Life Life (TV Series) featured several of Cat Power's songs:
"Maybe Not", from the album You Are Free, was played in a scene shortly before the credits during the episode Initiative 38 (series 2, episode 20);
"Metal Heart", in the version from the album Jukebox Jukebox (Cat Power album) , was played during the scene where Charlie Crews is hallucinating in the episode The Business of Miracles (season 2, episode 3)
"Cross Bones Style" appeared in "Black Friday" (series 2, episode 8) in the scene where Charlie Crews meets up with his wife at a hotel.
Chan Marshall provides backup vocals on Marianne Faithfull's cover of "Hold On" by Neko Case on the 2009 album Easy Come Easy Go Easy Come, Easy Go (Marianne Faithfull album) .In October 2006 she became the celebrity spokesperson for a line of jewelry from Chanel, beginning a series of non musical activities that continued into the following year during downtime between touring and recording commitments. In 2007 her voice could be heard in commercials for Cingular and De Beers in the United States and Garnier in the United Kingdom. Previously Marshall had done advertisements for GAP Gap (clothing retailer) . She appeared in Doug Aitken's MOMA installation Sleepwalkers as a postal worker living in New York.Marshall's live shows have been known for their unpolished nature, with songs beginning and ending abruptly or blending into one another without clear transitions. She has also cut short performances without explanation. On some occasions this has been put down to her suffering from stage fright and the influence of alcohol. Marshall has admitted abusing alcohol in the past; in a 2006 interview with the New York Times, she declared herself to be sober sobriety , which she defined as having had "seven drinks in seven months."
Recently, Marshall's performance style has been said to be much more enthusiastic and professional. An article in Salon Salon magazine called The Greatest "polished and sweetly upbeat", stating that Marshall was "delivering onstage". In the article, Marshall states that her new found musical collaborators and sobriety are largely responsible for her increased confidence onstage.*Dear Sir (1995)

Swans versus Bantams . . . but it's not a final for the birds
It's history in the making.
Swansea and Bradford will clash in a League Cup final so unfashionable that it really is a don't-miss affair.
The build-up starts on ESPN from 4.30am on Monday, so we'll be hoping for both a good match and commentators who are not filling in time between baseball and basketball assignments.
Swansea are making all the right noises about not taking the game lightly but they wouldn't. It's the club's finest chance to win a major trophy and return to Europe, albeit as an English representative.
Not bad for a club that was one game away from being relegated to the Conference in May 2003.
In fact, this could very much have been a Conference league match but for some fluctuating fortunes.
Bradford, the fourth division minnows who a few months ago were a better bet to be relegated than go to Wembley, have already taken the scalps of Wigan, Arsenal and Aston Villa. They warmed up for the final by losing at home to Wimbledon, who are bottom of the league, while Swansea were equally unimpressive in being thumped 5-0 by Liverpool.
For me, the match has 3-0 with Spanish star Michu getting on the scoresheet written all over it. The bookies are more inclined to go for 2-0. But this competition has a history of upsets, and the possiblity Bradford could rise to the occasion again is what makes the match all the more compelling.
It's Hawk Eye v GoalRef, but I don't care who wins. One of the two systems will be used at the next World Cup to let referees know if a ball has crossed the goal- line.
Charlie Adam can't nail a first team place at Stoke and could be looking for new pastures . . . Shanghai Shenhua, who had and lost Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba, have been found guilty of match-fixing following an investigation into a match played 10 years ago . . . of the players who have left Arsenal since their last trophy, 27 have won 76 trophies between them.
Aldershot, who are 20th in the fourth division, have sacked manager Dean Holdsworth . . . Manchester United's chief executive David Gill will step down at the end of June but remain as a director. Ed Woodward will take his place . . . former Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre, 35, is tipped to join MSL club Portland Timbers.
Gabriel Agbonlahor believes fellow striker Christian Benteke should aim "higher" than Spurs or Arsenal if he leaves Aston Villa . . . former England skipper Bobby Moore died 20 years ago on Sunday . . . the tabloids reckon Roma could offer Roberto Mancini a return ticket to Italy at the end of the season if his current employers are prepared to let him go.
Blackpool starlet Thomas Ince has his dad as a new boss. Paul Ince took over on Monday but got off to a bad start with a 2-0 loss at Leeds . . . Dundee United, 15 points behind the field in the Scottish premier league, have sacked manager Barry Smith. United were promoted last season at the expense of Rangers . . . Former England boss Steve McLaren is under pressure at FC Twente, who have not won since December 21.
Tunisian ref Slim Jdidi has acknowledged and apologised for a series of blunders he made in the African Nations Cup semifinal between Ghana and Burkina Faso and denied he was paid off.
Followers, you can't call them fans, of Beitar Jerusalem set fire to the club's offices last week - and destroyed memorabilia and trophies - because they wanted to make their views known on the decision to sign two Muslim players from Chechnya.
Real fans cheered the 19-year-old Gabriel Kadiev when he made his debut and drowned out the boos. The club itself has never had an Arab on its books.
On the move:
James McFadden Sunderland-Motherwell. Loan, John Lundstram Everton-Doncaster, Andrew Driver Hearts-Houston, Jack Robinson Liverpool-Wolves, David Bentley Spurs- Blackburn, Karim Rekik Man C-Blackburn, Matthew Lund Stoke-Southend, Pajtim Kasami Fulham-Lucerne, Michael Richardson Newcastle-Gillingham, Ryan Williams Fulham- Gill'ham, Tadanari Lee Southampton-Tokyo.

England, Fulham v Stoke, Arsenal v Villa, Norwich v Everton, QPR v Man United, Reading v Wigan, West Brom v Sunderland. Sunday, Man City v Chelsea, Newcastle v Southampton. League Cup final, Swansea v Bradford. Monday, West Ham v Tottenham. Scotland, Hearts v Inverness, Kilmarnock v Aberdeen, Ross County v Motherwell, St. Johnstone v St. Mirren.

What is wrong Watford
Did anybody else watch the 1981 IU hoops documentary on Big Ten Network after the game? It's excellent. I'm halfway through the re-broadcast. It looks like it will be available online soon, if your cable provider supports BTN2Go (mine doesn't). Here's a link:
well the football game is over in the 1st quarter. we haven't been blown out all season but- i think today is that day.
Personally, did not see a win today. Would prefer we don't embarrass ourselves though, especially after the momentum we've built.
The difference between year's past and now: I still think we can win this game. Our offense finally came alive on that last drive. 17-7 against a team without a dominant offense...I don't think this is over.
Nevermind, that iced it.
Terrible coaching to not immediately call the timeout. Could see that coming from a mile away
Well, this is a ****ing debacle.
Oops. Back to reality for the FB team. It was a little bit of fun while it lasted. Right?
Well, same old IU in that game. Just hope what appears to be incremental progress on the field and in recruiting isn't an allusion. That could have been the quintessential Randle - El era "big" game.
Well some good news I suppose. Perea is out of the boot, hopefully this time for good.
Football came back to earth today. Oh well. It has already been a successful season and the future looks bright.
This next game against North Dakota St will be no cakewalk. They are a solid team that finished with a winning record last year and played in the CBI postseason tournament.
The team needs to come out focused and play smart.
Noah Vonleh has committed to Indiana, a source says.
Well, we're here to stay. We are out recruiting pretty much everyone but Cal.
Awesome. Lol after saying he would wait till he visited OSU and Syracuse. I love Crean so much
Kenny Johnson is turning out to be one of the greatest hiring decisions of all time. He led the way on the Robinson, Williams, and Vonleh recruitments. Give that man a pay raise!
To all the PU fans that so desperately wanted to believe that IU would go back to being bad after Zeller left please STFU.
That is how you know you are back. Vonleh is the highest rated recruit IU has landed since Eric Gordon, which just shows how terribly underrated Zeller was coming out of high school ( only Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd Gilchrist were better IMO).

Does the share market really matter?
Australia has about the highest recorded level of per capita participation in the share market in the world; a majority (55 per cent) of adult Australians own shares, either directly (44 per cent) or indirectly (Australian Stock Exchange 2005). Fluctuations in the value of oft-cited indices of market performance, the S&P/ASX200 and the S&P/All Ordinaries, will naturally be a matter of concern to these investors because share prices reflect estimates of future profits. Perhaps everyone, not just investors, should follow the twisting fortunes of the market because they also foreshadow what's in store for the real economy.
As it happens, the theory and evidence on the association between changes in share market prices and the economy do not support such an inference. There are at least three reasons why there is not a strong association between share market prices and economic growth: competition, market efficiency or rather inefficiency, and alternative sources of capital.
Warren Buffet, who has a good claim to be the world's most successful investor, has famously quipped that he likes to think that if he had been at Kitty Hawk in 1903 when Orville Wright took off he would have been farsighted enough, and public-spirited enough, to shoot him down because of the cumulative losses suffered by investors who've bought shares in the airline industry since its beginnings. Buffet was, one presumes, just kidding since the airline industry has benefited the economy enormously. Indeed the International Air Transport Association in its economic briefing for February 2006, estimates that the value added by the global airline industry, measured as the difference between the cost and value of its services was, in 2004 alone, US$140 to US$145 billion in direct benefits and around US$2,960 billion in direct and indirect benefits (2006, p. 1). However, consumers, employees and other suppliers captured all the net benefits generated by the airline industry. Shareholders across all airlines made a loss of US$4.2 billion, which illustrates the point of Buffet's quip. Advances in technology do not benefit shareholders unless their companies have lasting monopolies, a condition rarer than most people presume. Intense competition in the airline industry has resulted in poor returns to shareholders.
One might consider the airline industry a special case because of the enormous subsidies it receives from governments keen to have a national flag-bearer in the sky. The Chinese economy, however, provides a compelling illustration that economic growth does not invariably go hand-in-hand with an upward trend in share prices. Jeremy Siegel, professor of finance at the Wharton School of Business, is one of many commentators who has observed the curious fact that although the Chinese economy easily outpaced any other in the world over the twelve years to 2005, its share markets have been about the worst; 'turning a $1,000 investment into a little over $300'. A report in the Australian Financial Review (10 January 2006) revealed the answer:
Economic growth, no doubt, is great for China but it hasn't delivered anything like a windfall to those share market investors who got in early at the beginning of the country's long boom in its real economy. For shareholders to benefit from economic growth, their companies must capture the gains from growth. If the benefits of the increases in expenditure and improvements in technology that fuel economic growth are captured by new companies entering the field or by consumers in the form of lower prices, existing shareholders will not experience an increase in share returns.
Egregiously poor corporate governance, one is constantly reminded via the press, plagues the Chinese economy and so it is plausible that the abysmal performance of the Chinese share market reflects the lack of protection of shareholder rights. I'll return to this issue later, but the problem with blaming poor corporate governance is that the Chinese experience is far from unique. Jay Ritter, an eminent financial economist, has investigated the relationship between real returns to shares and real per capita GDP for 16 countries, over the 20th century (2005). He estimates the share markets in these sixteen countries together represent around 90 per cent of the value of all public companies in the world. He finds that, contrary to expectation, higher economic growth is associated with lower share market returns.
A comparison of two of the sixteen countries helps illustrate the point. Over the years 1900 through to 2002, Australia's annual real return to equity (adjusted for dividends and events such as stock splits) was around 7.3 per cent while annual growth in real per capita GDP was just over 1.5 per cent. Over the same period, Japan's annual growth in per capita GDP was much higher at just under 3 per cent but its annual real return to equity averaged just 4.1 per cent. As Ritter observes, while theory suggests a lack of correlation between economic growth and share returns, it is surprising that the relationship should be negative.
Market inefficiency
One explanation Ritter posits for this unexpected finding is that the market might be inefficient. An efficient share market is one where share prices reflect the value of future profits rapidly and without bias. One implication of an inefficient market is that even if economic growth feeds directly into profits, share prices will not accurately reflect this relationship and so there is little point in looking to share price changes for indications of changes in economic growth.
So just how efficient are share markets? In 1978, Michael Jensen, then and now an eminent economist declared that 'there is no other proposition in economics which has more solid empirical evidence supporting it than the Efficient Markets Hypothesis' (p. 95). Jensen made his declaration in the editorial preface to a special edition of the Journal of Financial Economics devoted to research documenting evidence challenging market efficiency. Jensen's editorial was, in hindsight, the high-water mark of the influence of the efficient market hypothesis. By 2004, Jensen's own views on the EMH and those of other financial economists had been revised so significantly that his article on the dangers of overvalued shares won the best paper award in European Financial Management in that year.
Share prices may be inefficient (by, say, over- or under-reacting to information), but they might still affect the real economy by influencing the rate of investment in different sectors of the economy. Prominent financial economists Randall Morck, Andrei Shleifer and Robert Vishny directly investigated this issue, prompted in part by the fact that the share market crash of 1987 did not trigger a correspondingly large investment collapse. Their findings, reported in an article tellingly titled 'The stock market and investment: Is the market a sideshow?', lead them to conclude that '[o]verall, a fair reading of the evidence is that the stock market is a sometimes faulty predictor of the future, which does not receive much attention [from managers when they predict business conditions] and does not influence aggregate investment' (Morck et al. 1990, p. 200).
There is an important qualification to the view that the share market does not influence real investment. Morck and his colleagues, have noted that the incidence of initial public offerings (that is, the first-time sale of shares to the public by companies) increases in periods when share returns are high. Existing companies are also more likely to raise more finance by issuing further shares to public in boom times. However, it seems that this raising of funds has less to do with the share market meeting a real funding need than with managers taking advantage of periods when their shares are over-valued to raise cheap capital. This raises a question: is the new capital being used to finance good projects that would otherwise not get off the ground, or is it being used for 'empire building'? The latter is certainly attractive to managers, given that CEO and directors' pay is most closely associated with firm size than any other measure. Further, one of the most extensively researched phenomena in finance is the subsequent negative share market performance of companies that issue shares to the public. This is, of course, exactly what one would expect if managers time the sale of shares to coincide with periods when they are over-valued.
Alternative sources of capital
Notwithstanding these problems, one could argue that although share markets might be inefficient, they provide an important—not to say vital—source of finance to companies. In fact, share markets are far from being important as a source of finance. Franklin Allen, a former president of the American Finance Association, has noted in his paper, Comparative Financial Systems: A Survey (co-authored with long-time collaborator, Douglas Gale) that internal finance (that is, profit from existing operations of companies that is not distributed as dividends to shareholders) is the most important source of investment funding in all countries. For instance, in the United States, internal finance accounts for around 91 per cent of investment funding while in the United Kingdom it accounts for 97.3 per cent. As Franklin and Gale observe:
Share markets, then, fund only a small proportion of investments. But their unimportance also shows up in other ways. Economic development and growth more generally are only weakly, if at all, related to the development of the share market per se. China provides a prominent example. Economists Franklin Allen, Jun Qian and Meijun Qian (2005) point out that while China has one of the fastest growing economies in the world that is on track to overtake the United States and become the largest economy within ten years, the finance behind China's economic growth has come principally from the private sector operating outside the share market.
These findings run counter to widely held notions about the share market, which might lead us to question their credibility. However, all the studies I've cited include at least one eminent financial economist with impeccable credentials. Franklin Allen, for example, is a former president of the American Finance Association, Andrei Shleifer is a winner of the John Bates Clark medal, awarded every second year to the best economist under the age of forty, and Jay Ritter is one of the most often cited authors in finance with a prolific record of publications in top-rank journals.
And although these financial economists may question the relative importance of the share market, they are firmly in favour of markets in general as effective mechanisms for channelling resources to their most productive use. A specific example illustrates the difference: the stock market may not be all that significant in explaining China's economic growth but the reasons for China's success are undoubtedly related to the unleashing of market forces. Indeed, Allen, Qian and Qian argue that among Chinese firms an 'important mechanism that drives good management and corporate governance is competition. Given the environment of low survivorship during early stages of a firm's development, firms have a strong incentive to gain a competitive advantage' (2005. p. 60).
The argument that the share market is far from an essential component of the economy gives rise to another puzzle. Why does it loom so large in many modern economies and not in others? The likely answer is that the share market, far from being the purest expression of 'free market' principles, is an institution the viability of which is highly dependent on the development of an elaborate regulatory and enforcement regime that determines the rights of participants and establishes strict procedures for trade. For instance, acquiring control of a company by purchasing a majority of its issued shares is not, as one might imagine, a simple process of making an appropriately priced offer for the requisite number of shares. Rather, it entails an elaborate and expensive process in which the party seeking control must furnish detailed information to existing shareholders about their plans for the company, give them sufficient time to consider the offer, and equal opportunity to benefit from the offer. Even if an investor is not seeking control but merely intending to purchase a parcel of shares, the investor has to be sure that he or she is not trading on the basis of privileged information unknown to the rest of the market.
The point here is not that the often exquisite rules of trade on the share market are unduly complex (although that may be true) but rather that the degree of trading that takes place on the share market, and the type of investor who participates in trading, depend on the degree of regulatory protection investors receive. As prominent law and economics scholar, Bernard Black, has noted,
So the share market looms large in some vibrant economies and not in others because some countries, such as the United States and Australia, go much further than other countries, such as Japan and Germany, in protecting the rights of minority investors. Markets with good protection of minority investors are much larger than markets without, where share market size is expressed as a percentage of GDP.
The curious irony of course is that while the prevailing orthodoxy in the United States and Australia is that suppliers of capital need to be protected by an elaborate regulatory system in order to ensure their participation in the share market, the opposite view seems to hold in the labour market where it is argued that minimal labour laws are optimal.

Television of Tuesday, 4 December 2012
Source: Alfred Sarpong
Viasat1 will on Wednesday December 5, premiere another hit telenovela 'A Shelter For Love', which will replace Eva Luna as it draws down the curtains on Tuesday.
Based on an original story by one of the most successful telenovela writers of all time, Delia Fiallo, 'A Shelter For Love' also known as "Un Refugio Para el Amor" centres on Zuria Vega and Gabriel Soto. The two, knowing that their love is impossible due to class differences, existing relationships and rivalries that lead to lies, schemes and jealousy, still can't help surrendering to their feelings.
Luciana (Zuria Vega) is a beautiful young woman who lives with her family in a rural part of northern México. When tragedy strikes their farm and her father dies of a heart attack, the powerful and evil Don Aquiles (Humberto Elizondo), the town's most feared tyrant, becomes obsessed with marrying Luciana against her will, which drives her to run away and start a new life in México City.
There, to make ends meet, she accepts a job in a bar, where she has an altercation with a customer who tries to take advantage of her. A lawyer comes to her defense, and feeling sorry for the girl, he helps her find work as a maid at the prominent Torreslanda family's mansion.
Rodrigo Torreslanda (Gabriel Soto) is a handsome and wealthy businessman whose younger brother, Patricio (Brandon Peniche) is recovering from a tragic climbing accident that left him quadriplegic. Luciana's arrival at their home changes the lives of both men. As Luciana tends to Patricio with kindness and tenderness, he comes to feel an immense affection for her, recovering the will to live.
Meanwhile, Rodrigo, who is engaged to the gold-digging Gala (Jessica Coch), finds himself falling hopelessly in love with the young maid who is so selflessly caring for his ill brother. The feeling is mutual, and while both know that their love is practically impossible and that their relationship will only generate friction and disapproval, Rodrigo and Luciana can't help themselves and succumb to an uncontrollable passion. When
Rodrigo breaks his engagement in order to marry Luciana, Gala refuses to accept it — just as his family refuses to allow him to marry her.
Now the target of intense jealousy, ruthless lies, and the most intricate evil schemes, Luciana's life becomes a living nightmare and the love that she and Rodrigo feel for each other is put to the ultimate test.
Since our launch a few years ago, Viasat 1 is known for airing quality telenovelas, most of which have received positive feedback from viewers. They include Untamed Soul, In The Name of Love, Seize The Day, and A Woman of Steel. Also showing now are The One Who Couldn't Love, Eva Luna, Crazy For You, and Here With Me, all of which are receiving positive feedback from viewers.
'A Shelter For Love' will air on Viasat1 from Mondays to Thursdays at 6:30pm, starting this Wednesday. Following a successful run of Eva Luna, which ends Tuesdays, we believe A Shelter For Love will also attract more viewers to our channel.

He wrote Perl that looked suspiciously like C code in 1998, while working as an intern, and has been trying to cure that bad habit ever since.
Another guy in the department introduced me to xtris, we play it inbetween work and I suck at it. Bleargh.
I managed to actually sort out part of the classloader. Whatever else you want to call Java, they are organized. Not exactly organized in the Perl sense, but things seem a bit more predictable to me than when I first started out. I no longer spend irrational moments wishing I was doing the same job in Perl.. is that just getting used to a language or is it growing up in general? Maybe a bit of both

Owen L. Woodman0000-0003-3759-1396
Owen L. Woodman received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, in 1977 and 1981, respectively. He has been a Professor and the Head of the Discipline of Cell Biology and Anatomy at the School of Medical Sciences at RMIT University, since May 2007, after more than 20 years at the University of Melbourne, predominantly at the Department of Pharmacology. He has more than 30 years of experience in researching cardiovascular physiology and pharmacology with a particular focus on endothelial control of vascular function and pathological influences on vascular reactivity, especially the effects of diabetes, ischaemia and reperfusion, and atherosclerosis. In his search for pharmacological approaches to preserve endothelial function in pathological states, he has developed a special interest in using flavonoids, such as flavonols, isoflavones, and catechins, as a basis to the discovery and development of novel compounds to treat cardiovascular disease. This has led to significant scientific and commercial outcomes. With his colleagues at the Howard Florey Institute (Clive May, Bevyn Jarrott, and Greg Dusting), he is a founding scientist of Neuprotect Pty Ltd, a startup company with the aim to develop novel flavonols for the treatment of myocardial ischemia. He is a Fellow of the American Heart Association and an active Member of the Australasian Society of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacologists and Toxicologists, the Australian Physiological Society, and the High Blood Pressure Research Council of Australia amongst other societies, and he is an Editor (Vascular) at the Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology journal.

You don't have enough experience for the job -- now what?
So you're a college senior approaching graduation. With two internships under your belt, you're ready to dive into the job market. You go to a handful of interviews, make it through a couple rounds, and are told by the employers that they decided to go with a job candidate with more experience.
Or maybe you've been in the job market for a couple years now and are looking for change. You know what you want to do, know you'd be great at it, but haven't worked in that field before.
How are you supposed to get the experience you need to land that job?
The key lies in the fact that you don't have to be employed to gain valuable job experience; you can build experience through volunteer work.
For example: let's say you're interested in event planning but only have experience planning one party -- your grandmother's 90th birthday celebration. While it may have been a total hit, it isn't an impressive achievement on a résumé.
There are ways to harness your interest, however, and make it work for you in the professional world. Try to find an organization that holds special events that appeal to you and volunteer to help.
You might find yourself soliciting sponsors for a benefit or coordinating catering for a conference -- however you're involved, you'll have a hand in making the event a success. That record of success is going to help you score the event-planning position you want.
Maybe you love to write but don't have professional writing samples that exhibit your skill. Volunteer to write press releases for a local business and work to increase their media coverage.
Or better yet, start your own blog. Having a website that potential employers can quickly access to assess your writing abilities may give you an edge over other job applicants.
Perhaps you love social media and dream of working as a community manager. It's guaranteed a local nonprofit would appreciate your assistance establishing a stronger online presence and utilizing social networking sites. Offer to help the organization spread their message online.
The goal is to acquire the work experience you're lacking. Even though the position you're vying for may not directly relate to your professional history, having relevant experience outside the job is just as impressive.
On top of that, your volunteer projects show employers you take initiative and have the drive to succeed.
Don't let lack of experience stop you from going after what you want. Instead, find ways to show employers what you're made of.

(CBS/AP) GUATEMALA CITY - Software company founder John McAfee was briefly hospitalized Thursday as his lawyers try to develop a plan to keep him from flying back to Belize for questioning about his neighbor's death.
Pictures: Anti-virus guru John McAfee arrested
McAfee, 67, was moved from an immigration center to a police-run hospital on Thursday afternoon after Guatemalan authorities said McAfee's request for asylum was denied. They did not explain why.
McAfee told The Associated Press that he suffered chest pains overnight but didn't believe he had a heart attack. A government doctor who examined him agreed, saying that McAfee's heart rhythm and blood pressure were normal and that he appeared to be suffering from high stress.
He was released from the hospital and taken back to the detention center Thursday night. McAfee was initially taken to the center after his arrest for illegally entering the country.
Shortly after the decision to deny him asylum was announced, McAfee issued a plea on his blog for the public to petition Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina to let him stay.
"Please email the President of Guatemala and beg him to allow the court system to proceed, to determine my status in Guatemala, and please support the political asylum that I am asking for," the post read.
McAfee's legal team said they were preparing to appeal the denial of asylum to the country's constitutional court, in which the court would have to issue a decision within 48 hours. The process could give McAfee perhaps another day or two in Guatemala.
Belizean police spokesman Raphael Martinez said officials expected McAfee to be flown back to his country's capital, where police want to question him about the fatal shooting of Gregory Faull, who died early November on the Belize island where both men lived.
McAfee said U.S. Embassy officials told him they couldn't help his request to be returned to the United States instead of Belize. McAfee said he formally requested asylum in Guatemala because he fears for his safety in Belize because he has sensitive information about official corruption and refused to donate to local politicians.
His Guatemalan lawyer, Telesforo Guerra, warned Wednesday night that McAfee's life would be in danger if he is sent back to Belize.
"He will be in danger if he is returned to Belize, where he has denounced authorities," Guerra said. "From the moment he asked for asylum he has to have the protection of the Guatemalan government."
Belizean police denied they are persecuting McAfee and said there is no warrant for his arrest. The country's prime minister has questioned McAfee's mental state.
McAfee went on the run last month after officials tried to question him about the Faull's shooting death. While he acknowledges that his dogs were bothersome and that Faull had complained about them, McAfee denies killing Faull. Faull's home was a couple of houses down from McAfee's compound.

When your iPhone's "Siri" directs you to the wrong place, or misunderstands you, or gives you incorrect information, who do you blame? Siri, of course.
David Axe explains that the same logic is being applied to drones. Drones will have voices, Axe said, so it will be easier to "blame the machine."
In a Skype interview, Axe explains this and brings us behind the scenes of his story, "Deadlier drones are coming," published as part of GlobalPost's Special Report, The Drone Age.

Mother Teresa was visited by a gentleman at the "House of the Dying" in Calcutta. This man, who wanted to find a clear vision for the rest of his life, asked Mother Teresa to pray that he would "get clarity for the future." Mother Teresa said, "I will not do that… Clarity is the last thing you are clinging to and must let go. I have never had clarity; what I have always had is trust. So I will pray you trust God." Here's what's cool about passionately pursuing God… You never know what's in store for you. Better yet, you're comfortable with the fact you don't know what the future holds and you don't care because you TRUST God.

time later by calling (setf axis-label).
axis-label is the label that

axis at all. The default value is
The string will be drawn in the axis-label-color and axis-label-font of the axis.
The chart will provide space for the label only when it is a string

line of text is provided, unlike chart properties such as title,
subtitle, and footnote, so the text should be no longer than the axis
