Birthday blues for Allardyce
Sam Allardyce had a birthday to forget as his West Ham side put on a defensive horror show to help Manchester City to their first away win of the season.
A breakdown in communications between James Tomkins and Winston Reid allowed Sergio Aguero to put City ahead, and slack marking from Ricardo Vaz Te later allowed the Argentine to head home his seventh goal of the season.
Vaz Te made amends by scoring with an acrobatic overhead kick, but David Silva struck ten minutes from time to give Manuel Pellegrini's men a 3-1 win.
The Chilean manager could be happy with his team's performance. Silva, Aguero and Alvaro Negredo were all outstanding, but their task was made much easier by the Hammers' poor defensive showing.
Allardyce, who turned 59 on Saturday, had prided himself on the fact that West Ham had only conceded five goals in their first seven games.
But Silva was afforded too much space every time he collected the ball, while Reid and Tomkins were easily outdone for pace by the excellent Aguero.
Beore kick-off, Pellegrini had admitted City's away form was a concern. And while this performance in east London was not on a par with their rip-roaring home display against Newcastle, it would be foolish to write off their title hopes, especially when their neighbours Manchester United have endured such a difficult start to the season.
Hopes were high among the home fans at kick-off. With the 3-0 win at Tottenham still fresh in their minds, rarely-heard chants of "Sam Allardyce's barmy army" rang out around Upton Park.
West Ham started with the same purpose and drive they displayed at Spurs two weeks previously.
Mohamed Diame picked the ball up from Razvan Rat before cutting inside and hitting a swirling shot that flew inches wide of Joe Hart's goal.
Hart gave the Hammers fans further reason for optimism when he mishit a clearance, but the home side failed to take advantage.
Then City started to take a grip on the game.
Reid put in a crucial tackle to deny Aguero, but the New Zealand defender switched off moments later and City's Argentina striker took full advantage.
Fernandinho played a long ball along the floor from the halfway line towards Negredo. Reid and Tomkins expected the Spaniard to collect the ball, but he sold them a dummy, leaving the ball completely. Aguero was in behind the two defenders in a flash and slotted the ball calmly past Jussi Jaaskelainen.
Aguero could have made it 2-0 two minutes later, but volleyed straight at the West Ham goalkeeper while free inside the box.
City were playing some delightful football. Silva was given far too much time on the ball and kept looking to unlock the home defence with a series of superb incisive passes.
Aguero was looking unstoppable. The striker slalomed his way through the West Ham back line and drew another save from Jaaskelainen.
West Ham were barely creating anything going forward, as Vaz Te headed weakly into Hart's arms just before half-time.
City flew up to the other end and would have doubled their lead had Jaaskelainen not pulled off a top save to deny Yaya Toure.
What Allardyce said to his team at half-time had little effect as the Hammers fell 2-0 behind after another piece of shambolic defending.
This time, Vaz Te was the offender. The Portuguese player gave Aguero two yards of free space in the box and the striker capitalised by nodding Silva's cross past Jaaskelainen.
Allardyce buried his head in his hands, but Vaz Te put himself back in favour by firing the Hammers back into the game.
Rat's cross made its way to the back post where Vaz Te, with his back to goal, leapt up and acrobatically beat Hart from eight yards.
The goal lifted the home side, but City went back on the attack with Negredo, who struck the bar on a breakneck counter.
Allardyce made two changes, with Matt Jarvis and Joey O' Brien coming on for Guy Demel, who had picked up an injury, and Vaz Te.
West Ham were vulnerable at the back as they pushed for an equaliser and City capitalised.
With ten minutes left, the visitors went on a lightning counter-attack. Toure played in Aguero, who backheeled to Silva, and he curled the ball home after giving Reid the slip.
The fans who hailed Allardyce at kick-off flooded out of Upton Park, and City relaxed, knowing the three points were in the bag.

(Written Wednesday morning on the Manhattan-bound L and uptown F subway trains)
NEW YORK – I'm on my daily morning commute from Brooklyn to Manhattan just after hearing the news about a "plausible but unsubstantiated" terror threat to New York City subways, issued by federal authorities. And unless I end up staying out late and grabbing a cab, I will be on the subway again tonight. And every day and night in the foreseeable future, just like everybody else I know.
Because of all the things to be afraid of, terror attacks do not – and cannot — top my list. Cigarettes are obviously more dangerous, and riding the NYC subway is not an act of bravery. Longtime Gothamites say it was once, during the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, but these days it's a relatively cheap, fast and efficient way to get around.
|A New York police officer walks down stairs toward a subway platform, in midtown New York on Wednesday.
I think about asking my fellow travelers for their take on the federal warning, but I don't want to break the news about a "plausible but unsubstantiated" threat in this light pre-holiday crowd.
It's a totally normal subway scene – a wonderfully diverse amalgamation of folks reading newspapers and paperbacks, taking mid-morning naps, talking smilingly amongst themselves, typing blog posts on their blackberries. Did the hipster girl across the way just smile at me?
As the subway reached 3rd Avenue, we are held "because of an earlier incident," and the gently authoritative robot conductor voice reminds us to use trash receptacles. His female counterpart, the smoothly digital station agent, advises that a Brooklyn-bound train is arriving on the opposite track. The next one is seven minutes behind. And more will undoubtedly arrive after that.
Normal. Seven-plus years after 9/11, and this city runs and runs and runs.
The most fear I've faced recently in New York was last Sunday night, when the empty tables at a fine restaurant made my companions wonder whether we – or anyone – would ever come back. Or rather, if the depressing, vacant chairs would reinforce the despondent market psychology of diners and spiral the joint out of business.
Frankly, I'm more fearful about my parents' retirement situation – they are back in West Michigan – than I am about anything else. New York will take care of itself.
We'll keep concentrating on our lives, stacking-up on top of each other, living for the next encounter with another talented hard-working transplant from Xenia, Ohio, or Shanghai or Malibu or Islamabad. Proof-positive, at the 14 Street stop, I walk past a mustachioed guy in a guyabera playing a plaintive Cuban guitar.
That's why I'm here – still here – with my friends. And as a buddy from Tel Aviv always reminds me: we haven't been hit again yet!
Now the F-train has arrived, and we're reminded: "Please help us keep the subway system clean and litter-free."
Good news. Al-Qaida hasn't hit us in a while, the MTA hasn't cut service yet, the restaurants are still open, I'll have Thanksgiving in the leafy suburbs with a tribe comprised of San Franciscans, Detroiters, Parisians and who knows who else.
I switch trains without a hitch and head north, "Rockefeller Center next. Rockefeller Center next."
I hop out and buy some smokes from the South Asian lady in the station kiosk. She gives me a "Happy Thanksgiving" with my change, and I give her one right back.

But if you hit it with your foot from the side when nothing is on it, it moves. I am constantly having to straighten it and put it back in place. This rug also has no cushion to it.

Matt and two returning guests of ours have been enjoying a phenomenal week of August skiing on the Bagley Icefield. Take a listen to their dispatch from yesterday!
Matt and two returning guests of ours have been enjoying a phenomenal week of August skiing on the Bagley Icefield. Take a listen to their dispatch from yesterday!
We are proud to announce that this morning Tim Duffy, long-time SEAG guide, close friend of the company, and owner of Pangaea Adventures, completed a solo first ascent of Peak 12,190, just east of Mt. Bona (seen on some maps as Mt. Jordan). This is a major peak in the St. Elias Range and an accomplishment to be proud of!
Our group of 6 climbers (Chad, Wayne, Matt, Ben, Lane and Tim) have been at the mountain for the last 8 days and have made 3 team attempts at the summit, consistently being shut down by poor snow conditions combined with technical climbing, and unable to move quickly enough as a group to make it up during the coldest hours of these warm summer nights. Early this morning Duffy headed up alone, reaching the summit in just 2 hours, and returning to camp with a partial ski descent just 6 hours after he left.
Click the link below to listen to Wayne's dispatch from the field announcing the victory. And congratulations to Tim – we love you and we're so proud!

Our late May ski trip to the Ruth Gorge in the Alaska Range was more like a beach trip! Guides Matt and Jason and the Stamp Family ski toured in each day in t-shirts, as the temperature climbed to nearly 80 degrees.
They went out in the morning and evening and spend the heat of the day resting and doing things like fishing…
and archery…

Travel >Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino Las Vegas Hotels
3700 West Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV | Directions 8910336.118699 -115.186442
Neighborhoods: Paradise
Great hotel BUT.. – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at goo.gl/FPxYD They have some of the best hotel deals on the web!
Rio is great fun – A 24-hour party atmosphere reverberates through the vibrant red, purple and blue neon towers of the Rio Las Vegas, where large suites, ample entertainment and popular dining combine for the ultimate off-Strip experience. For Bottle Service, Cabanas, Daybeds, Front of Line VIP Entry, Guestlist, Limo Service, Show Tickets, and/or Hotel Reservations please contact Nocturnal Vegas VIP by call/text 702 587 2456
I keep going back time and time again! – I love this hotel. Such a party atmosphere and I love that the Chippendale show is at the RIO. This show always makes me feel good. I see it every time I go to Vegas. The guys are so sweet and so easy on the eyes. Ladies you can't go to Las Vegas without seeing the Chippendales at the RIO!
so much fun! – This hotel/casino is a constant party. The pools are amazing and the cocktail waitresses wear bright pink bikinis. The rooms are pretty big, but depending on the room some are not as nice as others. And some have this window from the bedroom area into the bathroom. I don't understand that. The buffet is pretty good. It had a huge dessert display. I think dinner was about $25 each unless you're a club member or something. The drinks are good, not too pricey. It has a Starbucks and a Coffee Bean/Tea Leaf. It used to have this great Mexican restaurant but it's not there anymore :( But the Tilted Kilt is a fun pub. Pretty good food, beer, and the servers wear mini kilts (like a mini skirt but a kilt) Anyway- this place is great. I think it even had a free shuttle to the strip.
Such a fun place, for being aways away from the Strip – This place just has such a fun party atmosphere that it's hard to not have a good time here. It's just one big party! The buffet here has so much seafood! There are lines for days sometimes to get into it, but it's worth the wait! This place is such a fun hotel to stay at that it doesn't matter too much that you're not on the strip, which is a good thing because it's a long walk (I walked it myself and it looks deceptively short).
I love this hotel – This hotel is great I booked one Easter weekend and was able to check into the room early which is nice. The hotel room is classy comfortable bed, nice pool, lively atmosphere. The staff was great I shopped around for the best rate and when I called the Rio they were able to beat the internet price if I booked directly with the hotel.
Rock On – We had a blast at the Rio. The "bevertainers" made a late night of rapid roulette a great time with their friendliness, prompt service (some of the best in Vegas) and dancing. The Rio was a great place to lose yourself and most of your wallet while having a great time.
Best Hotel, Best Buffet , Above par Casino – This is one of the better places to go in Las Vegas. The rio is packed with friendly atmosphere. The buffet is what makes this place a hot spot. One of the buffet is a Benihana type style of set up.
Like it – I really enjoying going to the Rio on a regular basis. The show in the sky is always fun with a lot of upbeat music and the people REALLY will do anything to get those silly beads, but it's always a good time. I throughly enjoy the atmosphere and the general vibe of the place. It's a good time with friends and a lot of fun. Go see Penn and Teller if you can.
ALL SUITE HOTEL? – i dont know why they say that it is a all suite hotel, i did not stay in a suite! it was a good sized room, a good 450sf, but it was not a suite. if you can get a deal to stay here for under $100.00 a night sure stay here, but it is not worth a penny more than that. ok service, i did have to wait for my room 2 hrs, it is clean, but nothing fancy at all.

CHICAGO — Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany isn't buying talk that the nation's largest football-playing schools are about to break away from the NCAA.
Or that they need to.
"I don't see some radical separation by five conferences from the rest,'' he said Wednesday at the conclusion of two days of league meetings. "I think that would be unhealthy.''
Speculation has flared off and on for 15 years that the power conferences need to break away from the NCAA or have the NCAA create a separate division for them. Alabama coach Nick Saban added to the chatter last week by opining that the 50 or 60 biggest football schools should play games only among themselves.
Delany isn't against NCAA reform of cumbersome administrative and governance rules.
"I do think we should be in smaller groups,'' he said. "I don't think 380 people trying to make rules make a lot of sense. Maybe we could be half as large as we are.
"But I'm not looking for a football-only, monolithic grouping.''
Delany said Ivy League schools and basketball-only conferences have ideas that football powers should listen to.
|Get the latest Big Ten headlines from The World-Herald and from beat writers around the nation.
"I think you may see changes inside the NCAA in terms of governance,'' he said. "But I think the basketball tournament is going to stay just like it is with the revenue-sharing and access.
"And now we have a 12-year template set for college football with access and revenue-sharing. So those things are all behind us.''
Expansion again
Delany can't get through a meeting without facing an expansion question. Talk persists that the Big Ten wants to grow to 16 members. Nos. 13 and 14 — Rutgers and Maryland — come aboard July 1, 2014.
Asked if expansion is dead, Delany deadpanned: "Dead is a strong word. But I told you guys we are inactive, and that all our time is being spent on integration and consolidation (of Rutgers and Maryland).''
Many outlets write that expansion will stop because the Atlantic Coast Conference approved a broadcasting grant-of-rights deal that runs into the 2020s. As written, no team could leave the ACC and take its broadcast rights with it to a new league.
But multiple conference officials, university administrators and attorneys have said while grants of rights are another hurdle to expansion, they aren't an Iron Curtain.
Delany joked that he hears reporters say they are tired of writing about expansion, yet he gets asked about it regularly.
"I don't know which it is,'' he said. "From my perspective, we are inactive.''
Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith shivers at the thought of playing the Big Ten football championship game outdoors. The first two have been at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis with the retractable roof closed.
"I love Indianapolis, and I love the facility,'' said Smith, who drew a laugh by adding, "I love St. Elmo's (a famous restaurant).''
But another dome — Ford Field in Detroit — and improvements in that city's downtown interest Smith.
"I'm one of those guys who believe we have an obligation when we can to have a social conscience and economic impact in a community that suffers,'' he said. "That's why when I was on the basketball committee I thought it was important to go back to New Orleans, and I feel that way about Detroit.''
Just don't go outdoors in the first week of December.
|Join the conversation on the Big Red Today Facebook page.
"The total package we have to create that time of year around our championship game calls for it to be indoors,'' Smith said. "Some of my colleagues feel differently, and that's OK.''
Michigan State A.D. Mark Hollis thinks a title game at Chicago's open-air Soldier Field would be "hip and cool.''
"I think we should be looking in New York and Detroit and here in Chicago,'' he said. "The Super Bowl (suburban New York) is going to be in inclement weather potentially.
"I'm not pushing for it. But I'm also not against looking at that kind of environment.''
Bits and pieces
Big Ten officials said the 2014 and 2015 football schedules likely will be revealed by week's end. ... Hollis said he would never say never to a job as a conference commissioner or in the NCAA hierarchy, but said he is very happy at Michigan State. ... If Omaha wants to bid to host the Big Ten basketball tournament, Hollis said, it would get full consideration like any other city. ... Northwestern A.D. Jim Phillips said about $70 million to $80 million has been raised toward the school's new $220 million on-campus athletic center/recreation building. ... Delany said conference basketball play will remain at 18 games. He said he thought league teams got tired toward the end of last season, and that more games against each other would exacerbate the problem. ... Over two days of interviews, no A.D. or conference official expressed interest in divisional play for basketball.

Moguls bring out the blemishes in the ski technique of all intermediate and advanced skiers. If you find yourself "bucked around" and unable to control your speed in moguls, take heart, you are not alone. Learning how to control your speed in bumps will make mogul skiing safe and fun for skiers of all ages and abilities.
As Dr. Kim Hewson explained in his recent Watch Newspaper's "Ski Tips" column: Good skiers control their speed through round, symmetrical C or S shaped turns as they move down the fall line. Controlling our speed through round turn shape unifies almost all forms of contemporary skiing.
My primary tip for mogul skiing is: Slow down by rounding out your turns and choose a forgiving and user-friendly line! Skip bumps and focus on skiing the roundest line you can find. Picking an easier line (and gentler terrain) is an awesome way to set yourself up for success. A great place to practice bump skiing is the split grooming between a groomed and a bumped run. Refer to Figure 1 and check out the split grooming that we recently had on Woozley's Way. Also, check out the Blue Line in Figure 3, which shows that skiers can choose less challenging options.
"Don't let moguls push you into the backseat; maintain your strong, athletic stance."
Good skiers absorb moguls and control the pressure under their feet (Figure 2). Absorb by retracting your legs as you go up over mogul tops and extending your legs into the troughs. Look how the skier in Figure 2 works to keep her skis consistently pressured on the snow. As the five-time female American Mogul Champion Donna Weinbecht states, "Imagine a giant magnet sucking your skis onto the snow, as you ski bumps."
In moguls, use a narrower stance to keep your skis tracking together and be willing to skid. Strive to keep both of your skis entirely on the snow as you move from one pair of corresponding edges to the other. In bumps, true parallel turns are rewarded, while stepping, wedging and sequential moves are punished. If you find yourself picking up your inside ski when you ski bumps, realize this is a blemish in your bump skiing: call the Telluride Ski School and book a lesson – you will be glad you did!
To conclude, picking an easier line is how skiers of different abilities can control their speed in moguls with round S shaped turns. Please refer to Figure 3 to see different bump-line options. The Blue Line requires no absorption, and is the easiest. The open- shaped Black Line on skier's right offers acceleration and mega absorption. The choice is yours!

Crusaders Pick Up Another Addition for 2012-2013
Friday, June 29, 2012
Valparaiso bowling head coach Matt Nantais announced today that Raychel Wolever, a three-time First Team All-State honoree from Charlotte [Mich.] H.S., will join the Crusader bowling program as a freshman for the 2012-2013 season.
Wolever helped Charlotte to the state title as a team as a junior in 2011, a year in which she also finished fifth individually at the state tournament. The 2009 Lansing State Journal Bowler of the Year and a member of the Lansing State Journal's All-Decade Team, Wolever also earned Second Team All-State honors once to go with her three First Team nods. A four-team All-Conference honoree as well, she was the individual regional champion in 2009, a year in which she also finished fifth at states. Wolever capped her career by being named a finalist for the 2012 Detroit Athletic Club Female Athlete of the Year, the first bowler to ever be a finalist.
"Raychel is going to be a great addition to the team this upcoming season," said Nantais. "She has a very strong work ethic on the lanes as well as in the classroom. Raychel has had a great high school career and looking for her to continue her high level of performance at Valpo."
The addition of Wolever gives the Crusaders five newcomers for the 2012-2013 season, coming off of their first appearance in the NCAA Championship last year.

Astaro Security Gateway (formerly Astaro Security Linux) is an all-in-one network security gateway that includes a firewall, intrusion protection, antivirus, spam protection, URL filtering, and a VPN gateway. Features include a modern packet filter, intrusion detection and prevention, portscan detection, application control, content filtering, virus detection for email and Web traffic, profile handling, L2TP, IPSec, SSL, and PPTP VPN tunneling, spam blocking, proxies for HTTPS, HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, DNS, VoIP, SOCKS, and Ident, logging, and reporting. It supports Ethernet, VLAN, PPP, PPPoE, PPPoA, Cable Modem, IPv6, QoS, Link Aggregation, and WAN-Uplink-Load balancing in routing, and bridge mode. The WebAdmin GUI, Install Wizard, Change Tracking, Printable Configuration, and Up2Date service make it easy to install, manage, and maintain.
Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a utility for network exploration, administration, and security auditing. It uses IP packets in novel ways to determine which hosts are available online (host discovery), which TCP/UDP ports are open (port scanning), and what applications and services are listening on each port (version detection). It can also identify remote host OS and device types via TCP/IP fingerprinting. Nmap offers flexible target and port specifications, decoy/stealth scanning for firewall and IDS evasion, and highly optimized timing algorithms for fast scanning.
iptables is built on top of netfilter, the packet alteration framework for Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x. It is a major rewrite of its predecessor ipchains, and is used to control packet filtering, Network Address Translation (masquerading, portforwarding, transparent proxying), and special effects such as packet mangling.
fwsnort translates snort rules into an equivalent iptables ruleset. By making use of the iptables string match module, fwsnort can detect application layer signatures which exist in many snort rules. fwsnort adds a --hex-string option to iptables, which allows snort rules that contain hex characters to be input directly into iptables rulesets without modification. In addition, fwsnort makes use of the IPTables::Parse Perl module in order to (optionally) restrict the snort rule translation to only those rules that specify traffic that could potentially be allowed through an existing iptables policy.
Arno's IPTABLES Firewall Script is a secure stateful firewall for both single and multi-homed machines. It supports NAT and SNAT, port forwarding, ADSL ethernet modems with both static and dynamically assigned IPs, MAC address filtering, stealth port scan detection, DMZ support, protection against SYN/ICMP flooding, experimental IPv6 support, multi-interface/aliased-IP support, and extensive user definable logging with rate limiting to prevent log flooding. It has plugin support to add extra features (like SSH Brute Force protection and (Racoon) IPSEC support). It is easy to configure and highly customizable. A filter script that makes your firewall log more readable is also included.
Firewall Builder consists of a GUI and set of policy compilers for various firewall platforms. It helps users maintain a database of objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop operations. The GUI and policy compilers are completely independent, which provides for a consistent abstract model and the same GUI for different firewall platforms. It currently supports iptables, ipfilter, ipfw, OpenBSD pf, Cisco PIX and FWSM, and Cisco routers access lists.
MailScanner is an email virus scanner, vulnerability protector, and spam tagger. It supports the Postfix, Sendmail, Exim, Qmail, and ZMailer MTAs, and the Sophos, McAfee, F-Prot, F-Secure, CommandAV, InoculateIT, Inoculan, eTrust, Kaspersky, Nod32, AntiVir, BitDefender, RAV, Panda, DrWeb, ClamAV, and other anti-virus scanners. It uses SpamAssassin for highly successful spam identification, and is designed to handle denial of service attacks. It will detect password-protected zip files and apply filename checking to their contents. It is very easy to install, requires no changes at all to your sendmail.cf file, is designed to be lightweight, and won't grind your mail system to a halt with its load. It can be integrated into any email system, regardless of the software in use.
A PHP class for generating PDF documents.
A tool for making disk space optimized snapshot backups onto another disk.

I was on the phone the other day with a customer. She was in a rush and I was more than happy to get her the information she needed quickly. The call only lasted about 30 seconds.
Halfway through our brief encounter I requested some account information from her and then said "Thank You."
At that moment I heard her voice change. It was as though my "thank you" caught her by surprised. She laughed and said "You're welcome, but thank you!" It happened very quickly, but I'm sure she hung up with a smile on her face.
Case in point: People like it when you say thank you, and that little bit goes a long way.

- About Deakin
The Warrnambool Campus Library has discovered an innovative way to reuse and recycle unwanted materials without them going to landfill. Artcycle is a new Australian Disability Enterprise (ADE) business in Warrnambool that sorts, cleans, and organises high quality industrial discards, diverting waste from landfill. The materials are collected free-of-charge from local businesses and then offered to the general public at low cost. Whether it be for art and craft classes, a school project, something that needs to be renovated around the home, or an upcoming theatre production, artcycle are likely to have useful materials at a fraction of the usual price.
Deakin's Warrnambool Campus Library has already given artcycle some surplus, periodical boxes and old bookends, old computers, phones and keyboards. An example of how these materials are reused is that the company take the keys off the phones and keyboards for the children to use in learning to spell. Artcycle also has a separate business that accepts e-waste and also handles scrap metal. Artcycle is free to use and all departments are encouraged to use this resource if recycling procedures are not already in place.
For more information visit artcycle.org.au/
We are calling all interested students from the Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus to form a sustainability group. Some of the issues we will be looking at include:
- Campus resource use
- Reducing waste on the campus
- Peak oil and preparing Deakin for a low energy future
Help us to run events, advocate and empower other students to be the change.
