Jeremy Hill's 47-yard rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter helped the sixth-ranked LSU Tigers hold off the 20th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies, 24-19.
Hill carried the ball 18 times for 127 yards for the Tigers (7-1, 3-1 SEC), who have won two in a row since a loss to Florida on Oct. 6. Michael Ford rushed for 78 yards and a score on 11 carries.
Zach Mettenberger completed 11-of-29 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown for the victors.
"I wasn't surprised with how tight they played us," Mettenberger said. "Before this game we hadn't really taken many shots downfield. We run the ball really well, so everyone is going to try to stop the run against us. Next time we have to capitalize on the deep balls."
Johnny Manziel connected on 29-of-56 passes for 276 yards and three interceptions for the Aggies (5-2, 2-2), who had a five-game winning streak snapped.
Ben Malena carried the ball 12 times for 82 yards and a touchdown for Texas A&M, which hosted LSU at Kyle Field for the first time since 1995.
Trailing, 12-0, LSU finally got going on offense late in the first half. The momentum shifted to the visitors when Jalen Collins picked off Manziel at the 39-yard line of the Tigers. A defensive pass interference penalty moved LSU into Texas A&M territory. On 4th-and-1 from the 33-yard line, Ford ripped of a 13-yard run. Ford followed that up with 20-yard TD run down the right sideline with 1:49 to go.
The Tigers' defense followed with a big play to give the ball back to the offense. Malena lost the ball on a running play and Ronald Martin recovered the fumble for LSU at the Texas A&M 41-yard line. The visitors converted another fourth down en route to a score. Hill ran for three yards on 4th- and-1. Two plays later, Kadron Boone caught a 29-yard TD pass to make it 14-12 at the break.
Manziel was intercepted by Kevin Minter early in the third period. LSU moved the ball to the 32-yard line of Texas A&M before bringing out the field goal unit. A substitution infraction penalty moved the ball back five yards and Drew Alleman missed a 54-yard field goal.
The Aggies had a chance to take the lead early in the fourth quarter, but Taylor Bertolet missed a 52-yard field goal.
Alleman then capped a 12-play, 55-yard drive with a 28-yard field goal to give LSU a 17-12 margin with 8:35 left.
Texas A&M had a golden chance to cut into the deficit or take the lead after Trey Williams returned the ensuing kickoff 76 yards to the 16-yard line. The Aggies gained just two yards before Bertolet came on to attempt a 33-yard field goal. Bertolet's kick sailed wide right.
The Aggies got the ball back at their own 20-yard line with 4:55 to play. A pair of 15-yard penalties on LSU helped move Texas A&M near midfield. Tharold Simon then picked off Manziel.
Hill's 47-yard TD run on the first play of the Tigers' ensuing possession made it 24-12.
"I thought that we let one get out of the gate right there at the end of the fourth quarter. Other than that, I thought our defense played pretty well," Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said. "They were able to move the ball, with the exception of that last touchdown. I thought we contained it pretty well and got off of the field enough on third downs. We didn't force any turnovers, and that's a credit to them too. You're playing a top-10 team in the country and you don't get any turnovers, and we turn over three times, it's difficult to win against a team like that."
Texas A&M stayed alive on Malena's 5-yard touchdown run with 1:17 left.
However, LSU recovered the onside kick and ran the clock down to 21 seconds before punting. The Aggies got two plays off before time ran out.
The Aggies scored a touchdown on the opening possession of the game. Texas A&M converted a pair of third downs on the 12-play, 75-yard drive. On the third play, Nehemiah Hicks caught a 7-yard pass on 3rd-and-1. Faced with a 3rd-and-6 later in the drive, Malena recorded an 18-yard run. Christine Michael capped the march with a 2-yard rushing TD. Bertolet missed the extra point.
Texas A&M tacked on three more points after LSU went three-and-out. Mike Evans hauled in three passes for 52 yards to help move the ball into the red zone. The Aggies, however, were forced to settle for a 32-yard Bertolet field goal, making it 9-0 with 5:41 left in the first quarter.
Bertolet added a 50-yard field goal with 7:24 remaining in the half.
Game Notes
LSU leads the all-time series with Texas A&M, 28-20-3 ... Ryan Swope caught 10 passes for 81 yards for the Aggies ... The Tigers have an open date before taking on top-ranked Alabama on Nov. 3 ... The Aggies came into Saturday's game leading the SEC in scoring (47.0 ppg), rushing (235.8 ypg) and total offense (543.7 ypg) ... Texas A&M plays Auburn next Saturday ... LSU had 13 penalties for 102 yards.

JPMorgan Chase (JPM) will announce its quarterly earnings tomorrow, so what better time to make the case that it's a darn good investment?
That seems to be the thinking at Bank of America Merill Lynch, where analysts today published a note reiterating their Buy rating for JPMorgan's stock, and $49 price target — 5.6% higher than today's trading price.
As they write:
While we are inundated with investor questions around potential EPS leverage at Citigroup (C) and the sustainability of mortgage banking revenues at Wells Fargo (WFC), we have been getting far less inbound interest in JPM recently – surprising, given its $175bn market cap. This, despite the fact that JPM is the least expensive P/E stock in our large-cap universe, trading at 8.1x '13E EPS vs. 10.2x median for the large-cap banks and 9.0x for C.
That does indeed represent relatively good value, and it's funny to think of media-hero Jamie Dimon's JPMorgan as an underrated company.
But it's easy to see why JPMorgan may have been overlooked recently — sure it rose 32% last year, but that pales before Bank of America's (BAC) 108% gain and Citi's 50% rise. And look at JPMorgan's five year average versus its peers: While Citi is down 15.8% on an annualized basis, and BofA is down 4%, JPMorgan's has gained 3.4% a year, annualized.
That relatively sound stock performance may leave investors looking for outsized gains a bit cold. But JPMorgan's tangible price to book value is 1.3 — ahead of Citi's 0.8 and BofA's 0.9, but below its five-year average of 1.7, and lower than Wells Fargo's current level, also 1.7. (All data courtesy of FactSet.)
It's fair to say that JPMorgan's in in much better shape than either of its rivals, even with recent blows to its image, and there's a reason why it was one of our 10 favorite stocks for 2013. And for those looking for a short-term reason to buy, check out this chart from BofA (click on the image to expand):

A Shameless Marketing Campaign or Real Good for Girls?
And if you're for the campaign (and I know many might disagree with me), then at least donate to the Boy Scouts of America, too.

Dr. Wes,
Dame Judy Dench was refused interviews for her new movie "Mrs. Henderson" on certain major networks because she was TOO OLD - she didn't fit the demographics for the advertisers. Can you imagine that? Reading your thoughts on the Dove commercial is what brought Judy Dench to my mind, it is simply more of the same, except that one appeals to the young and the other dismiss the older. This is a real bug-a-boo for me. When a woman ages she simply becomes invisible. Dame Judy Dench is a wonderful 71 year old English actress who clearly has made a difference. She would have been an asset on any TV show. She is smart and has a lot of class, but instead she is simply of no commercial value do to her age. I like to think that Judy Dench and the Dove commercial are not a reflection on the values of our society, but I am afraid I might be wrong.
PS. Now, I also want to say something in response to your previous article. Dr. Helen's story is very compelling and a real eye opener to the problems of heart attacks in women of all ages. Her story unfortunately is so familiar to many of us. So much suffering could be prevented if only medical research and doctors weren't so dismissive about woman's health, particularly their heart health. Medical research concerns me for it is still too focused on the male. The female heart is not a little man's heart nor is our vascular system just a smaller version of man's etc. etc. What do you think?

It's good to see that there is a real interest in women's heart disease. Unfortunately, the model in medical school has been one of "from cell to bedside." In other words, the body is simply made of these building blocks of cells that interact with each other and the outside world in a certain understandable and intellectually comprehensible way to come together and produce this organ or body structure or being. Yet if you ask a doctor to explain the influences of estrogren, progesterone, and testosterone on a cell, you'll receive a blank stare by most, simply because this was never taught or, perhaps, studied. There remains LOTS we don't know about the human body, be it man OR woman. While I commend the WISE study for bringing gender differences in heart disease to our attention, we must remain ever-vigilant on the political forces that sway the distribution of research grant dollars from one gender to the other. Given the increased proportion of women in the health care field and the declining graduation rate of men from high schools and colleges, I suspect women will play a larger and larger role in health care in all respects in the future... and that might be a good thing in one way, but concerning that the US hasn't yet found an answer to the failing education of our young men today.

I would both agree and disagree on the Dove commercial, but ultimately I am for the campaign. Regardless of the ulterior motives, it puts images of healthy, normal women in front of people instead of everything else we get. The "other side" isn't going to stop putting up their images of airbrushed, unattainable bodies, so at least this shows women as they really are.
Your daughter is lucky to have such an active, aware parent, but unfortunately many kids do not. Take a look at an elementary school playground and see how many little girls are dressed like hoochie mamas. I find that very disturbing.
Is the Dove campaign exploitative? Yes, I believe it is. But I also believe that all commercial advertising is exploitative to both genders and all ages and races. I don't see the Dove campaign as any worse than, say, a Nike shoe campaign starring sports stars sending the message that little boys need to have $200 shoes to be cool. It does bother me--both counts--but I have to come down on the side of the Dove campaign and applaud them for showing beautiful women as they really are.
And yes, my husband, the Eagle Scout, is active in his younger brother's Boy Scout troop and we do support the BSA. I agree it's a great cause and you've made an excellent point there.

Dear Wilmette Doc:
I was a superbowl widow so I missed the Dove commercial on behalf of Girl Scouts. But, I am much more disgusted with the Girl Scouts who "sell out" their girls.
Have you seem some of their recruiting images? It seems like they have the Modonna complex--empowering girls,ie sexy is powerful.
The National Girl Scouting organization is responsible for this "ultra liberal" sexy girl advertising.
Sadly, girls scouts will never be 'of equal value" to Boy Scouts because GS don't subscribe to "achievement" and heirarchy and advancement based on merit.(oohh,too "male")
My daughter enjoys participating in Boy Scouts "informally" through service projects. Better she be a second class citizen in the Boy Scouts, than a Madonna in the Girl Scouts.
The 4H group is a great (co-ed) organization for girls. I see the girls showing their horses and dogs and not worrying about their "image".
Great blos.

- 2 packages yeast
- 2 cups warm water
- 1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 4 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 ounces walnuts
- 12 ounces Stilton cheese
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a wire whip, combine the yeast, water, 1 tablespoon of the oil and molasses. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Combine the flours and salt together. Change the mixer attachment to a dough hook. Add the flours and mix on low speed until the dough starts to come together. Increase the speed to medium and beat until the dough cleans the sides of the bowl and climbs up the dough hook. Grease a larger glass bowl with the remaining teaspoon of oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning once. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm-draft free area. Allow the dough to rest until double in size, about 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
- Place the walnuts on a small baking sheet and place in the oven. Toast until golden about 6 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool. Remove and turn on a floured surface. Divide the dough in half. Set one half aside. Roll the dough out into a flat circle. Sprinkle half of the nuts and 4 ounces of the cheese over the dough. Fold the sides in towards to the center and knead the dough several times. Repeat with the remaining dough, 3 ounces of walnuts and 4 ounces of the cheese. Form the dough into a small round. Grease 2 (9-inch) round pans with the remaining oil. Place the dough in the prepared pan, press the dough to form the pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining blue cheese. Cover lightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise again until double in size, about 1 hour. Place the pans in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350ºF. and continue to bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle the tops of each loaf with 2 ounces of the remaining cheese. Allow the bread to cool before slicing.

RTC Aftermath: WCC Tournament FinalsPosted by rtmsf on March 9th, 2009
RTC Aftermath will come to you each night where our correspondents are at the conference tournament games as a part of RTC Live. Michael Vernetti is in Las Vegas all weekend covering the WCC Tournament for RTC. RTC Live was onsite Friday through Monday, concluding tonight in the Gonzaga vs. St. Mary's Championship Game.
It was a Gonzaga party in the WCC championship game as the Zags continued a tournament blitz with an 83-58 victory over Saint Mary's. Gonzaga featured balanced scoring with five players scoring in double figures, led by Josh Heytvelt's 17 points. Matt Bouldin played another all-around excellent game, scoring 14 points and handing out 7 assists with no turnovers. Other big contributors for Gonzaga were Steven Gray and Jeremy Pargo.
Saint Mary's returned-from-injury guard Patty Mills was ineffective in his second game back after suffering a broken hand in a Jan. 29 game against Gonzaga. Mills, showing the rust from his long layoff, went just 2-16 for 5 points and sat out much of the second half. Diamon Simpson and Omar Samhan led the Gaels with 17 points each. Samhan also pulled down 9 boards for the Gaels and Simpson grabbed 6.
Gonzaga dominated the all-tournament team, placing guards Pargo and Bouldin, along with forward Micah Downs, who was voted tourney MVP. The rest of the all-star group included Saint Mary's forward Simpson and Santa Clara center John Bryant. With the tournament championship, Gonzaga won an automatic bid to the upcoming NCAA championships, where they are hoping to ride their strong performance in Las Vegas to a high seed. Saint Mary's will have to await the Selection Committee's decision next Sunday, March 15 to see if they get an at-large bid.

Camera's eye in the sky
George Steinmetz's mission to photograph the world's extreme deserts from the air has been a 15-year, 27-country (plus Antarctica) odyssey.
Flying with a motorised paraglider, images of Tigrean and Afari men prying salt from the dry section of Lake Assale in Ethiopia to the mega dunes of Dasht-e Lut, Iran, are recorded in his book, Desert Air.
It's the bold means of transport, and at 32 kilograms the lightest powered aircraft in the world, that has allowed Steinmetz to enter remote areas; a basketball court area is space enough for take-off or landing and he has launched at elevations of 4400 metres to 423 metres below sea level.
Flying at 48 kilometres an hour, Steinmetz says the paraglider, which is "like a lawn chair", gives unimpeded views horizontally and vertically. "It's also relatively quiet in flight, like a moped, and it lets me fly low and slow over the ground with minimum disturbance to people and animals below," Steinmetz says.
Steinmetz has had his share of mishaps along the way. He was arrested in Iran as a suspected spy and crashed into a tree in western China. Desert Air ($US60, Abrams).

Horrible histories of war
London's Imperial War Museum at South Bank reopens in July and with it a new family exhibition, Horrible Histories: Spies and Secret War, based on the children's book series by Terry Deary.
World War II spycraft, including codes, camouflage and forgeries will be a feature as the series celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
The redevelopment of the museum has started with the World War I galleries, and more of this collection will be on display. The museum is one of five around England dedicated to a record of operations in which Britain or the Commonwealth have been involved since 1914.
Also on South Bank, Sea Life London Aquarium has introduced 16 new sharks and access to backstage areas normally closed to the public and, from a capsule in the London Eye, visitors can enjoy a guided tour of their surrounds.
See iwm.org.uk.
Secrets of the ship
Extracurricular activities on board luxury liners Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria are no longer confined to leisurely pursuits such as acting and dance classes, with new behind-the-scenes tours.
The 3½-hour tour looks at how these behemoths run seamlessly, and includes stops at the bridge for a meeting with the captain; "Burma Road", the crew passageway that runs the length of the ships; and theatres with more than 3000 costumes for a lesson in stage lighting and sound.
There is one tour, limited to 16 passengers, a sailing. It costs $US120 ($115) a person.
See cunardline.com.au.
Cruising to a record
It's not yet over, but February is set to be a bumper month for the cruise industry with a record 36 ships to drop anchor in Sydney Harbour, according to specialist cruise retailer Cruiseabout.
The company's general manager, Jarrod Pask, says that when the 2012-2013 season ends in April, there will have been a record 265 passenger cruise ship visits, 66 more than last season, including 11 ships on their maiden voyage. March arrivals include the five-star Island Sky and MS Marina.
See cruiseabout.com.au.
Beer and vodka
Glean cooking wisdom between vodka tastings from food doyenne Maggie Beer on a 14-day journey to Moscow, St Petersburg and Suzdal. Coinciding with the ballet and opera season, Beer will be present for a hands-on class at a cooking school, trips to produce markets and a backstage visit to the Bolshoi Theatre in the capital.
The tour starts in St Petersburg on October 18 and costs from $12,940 a person twin share.

Under the canvas
Outdoor types eyeing a new site to pitch their tent should find it in the pages of Camping around Australia. More than 3000 campsites with 500 new listings are detailed in national parks, state forests, beaches, caravan parks and off highways.
While Homestead Creek (NSW), Buandik, Tidal River (Vitoria) and Gilhams Beach (Tasmania) are among the most popular, the publisher, until the end of March, is asking people to send an image of their favourite place for a top-10 list.

Pacific Fight Against AIDS Hampered by Shame, Ignorance
April 21, 2010
Adapted from:
At an AIDS conference in the Marshall Islands capital of Majuro last week, representatives from US-affiliated Pacific Island nations discussed HIV stigma and its impact on prevention and treatment.
In 2008, 29,629 HIV cases were reported in the predominantly Christian Pacific Island nations. Papua New Guinea logged 28,294, though UNAIDS said a full count could be closer to 54,000. Levels of under-reporting in the rest of the region are most likely similar, the agency said.
Many meeting attendees shared their stories of living with HIV/AIDS. Temo Sasau of Fiji said that when he told his supervisors he was HIV-positive, his pay was withheld, despite having worked at the business for 11 years. Sasua, who now works for the Pacific Islands AIDS Foundation, said more openness is needed to ensure that those who are infected seek treatment.
Cathy Samuel from the atoll of Chuuk in the Federated States of Micronesia said her family was forced to move to another island due to the "embarrassment" of having a relative die of AIDS. "People think everyone with HIV is a sinner and that God will not forgive them," said Samuel.
Zachraias Zachraias, director of the Marshall Islands Ministry of Health's HIV program, noted that discrimination makes it difficult for people to discuss the disease publicly. "Thank you for your courage to help the people in this room in the fight against HIV/AIDS," he told those who had spoken out.

Task Force Assembled To Hold Secret Meetings About NYC Airport Gridlock
A so-called "federal task force" comprised of airline executives, government officials and aviation industry groups has been assembled.
The mission?
To fix NYC's airport gridlock. In order to succeed, the NYC airport task force must hold secret, confidential meetings in which they will discuss the mystery of NYC's traffic nightmare.
Will they find a cure in time?
From Newsday:
U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters convened the group in late September, and gave it a warning: Find a fix for chronic delays at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport and its sister airports, LaGuardia and Newark Liberty, or be prepared to face a federal order reducing the number of allowed flights.
The talks, led by the Federal Aviation Administration, have been closed to the public, but participants report that one of the primary topics will be "congestion pricing," a scheme to reduce delays by making airlines think twice about scheduling flights during the busiest times of the day.
Generally, the plan would implement higher fees for planes operating at the airports during the aviation rush hours, which, in New York, coincide roughly with morning and evening commutes.
What? You mean, it's not practical to schedule every flight in the airport to leave at 9:00 AM?
FAA, airlines brainstorm on NYC airport gridlock[Newsday]

All the major players may not agree on much, but they know this: if Texas can't provide water for healthy growth, the opportunities for its population will quickly flow to other states. "Our Water, Our Future" was shot at the San Antonio's Pearl Stables where hundreds of business people, politicians and future planners were treated to the informed opinions from an all-star cast of South Texas water experts. A large focus of the conversation was breaking the gridlock in Texas Government and whether or not a comprehensive water plan can be fully funded. While the future's not clear, what is clear is that Texans' futures won't be best served if the factions don't come together to determine what comes next. As much damage as it did, 2011's record drought may have served as a wake-up call for voters, politicians, city planners and environmentalists. Robert Rivard moderates this lively panel.

It is the first time MIller has run gates since late in the 2012 season. He missed all of 2013 while recovering from a knee injury. With early sessions at Round Hill, the camp has now shifted to Coronet Peak with daily sessions of both giant slalom and slalom. While in town, the team will race in a number of FIS Continental Cup events in addition to the Audi Quattro Winter Games giant slalom and slalom races. The Audi FIS Alpine World Cup opens Oct. 26-27 in Soelden, Austria, the official European Training Base of the U.S. Ski Team. North American racing will take place at Nov. 29-Dec. 8 in Beaver Creek, CO with women's and men's World Cup action at the home of the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships.

All sports teams use up and discard players fairly quickly, but this is a tribute to the guys since the year 2000 (I'm 23, so that's pretty much my wheelhouse) who only had a cup of coffee to two with the Reds and made no real lasting impression as a Cincinnati Red, good or bad. They are levels below the Jeff Austin's, Reggie Taylor's, Kirk Saarloos', and Royce Clayton's of the Reds world. I'm mostly going to stick to position players (otherwise we'd be here ALL day recounting the guys the Reds sent out to the hill during the lost decade) but there will be some pitchers sprinkled in as well. And yes, with the Reds having had an off day today, I was THIS bored.

Anderson Machado - Who needed Barry Larkin after 2004 when you had THE Anderson Machado?
Jason Romano - not going to Japan

Luis Lopez - Having made his MLB debut in 1993, 2005 and his 27 Reds AB's was the end of the line for Lopez.

Mark Bellhorn - The starting 2B for the notable 2004 Red Sox ended his career with a whimper for the Redlegs in 2007.

Jon Coutlangus - Oh the jokes just wrote themselves.
Andy Phillips - Could do nothing at almost every position.
Justin Lehr - Servicable #5 who's biggest contribution was helping Homer and the younger pitchers.

Russ Springer - An 18 year vet who couldn't stay healthy to contribute in the pennant race in 2010.

Tottenham's Heurelho Gomes failed to agree wages with Palmeiras
Palmeiras claim they have in the past failed to agree a deal to sign Tottenham's Heurelho Gomes due to his wages.
By Paulo Freitas
Last Updated: 08/12/12 9:48pm
The Brazilian has not played for Spurs since a Europa League outing in November 2011 after falling behind Brad Friedel and new No.1 Hugo Lloris.
And Palmeiras president Arnaldo Tirone has revealed his club were given the chance to sign Gomes before failing to meet the 31-year-old's salary.
Tirone told Lancenet: "Gomes was offered to us but the negotiations didn't work out. His salary is very high."
And Palmeiras say the situation with Gomes is a repeat of when they had the chance to sign Julio Cesar from Inter Milan before his move to Queens Park Rangers.
"It's similar to what happened regarding Julio Cesar," said Tirone.

While USDA's announcement of a new proposal on animal identification and traceback systems represents an important food safety improvement, the timeline for implementation is another Bush-adminstration bow to the cattle producers. Delaying until 2009 this essential food and animal health protection means the U.S. is lagging even further behind many of our trading partners on food safety issues.
In 1996, when USDA first announced mandatory process control systems in meat plants, the U.S. was a leader on food safety issues. In 2003, Secretary Veneman announced more major reforms, including an animal identification and tracing system, in response to a finding of a single case of mad cow disease in Washington state. A national cattle tracking system is an important new control for both animal and public health protection.
But, with today's announcement that the program won't take full effect until 2009, the Bush Administration has cemented it's role as a food safety laggard. The U.S. should adopt a mandatory animal identification system at least as effective as the one in place in Canada. Canadian officials were able to move from a voluntary to a mandatory animal identification and traceback system in a year. Secretary Johanns today proposed that that same effort will take the U.S. nearly four years.
Animal ID and traceback systems would enable the U.S. to contain animal disease outbreaks more quickly, sustain consumer confidence in the food supply, and ensure greater access to world markets for our beef products. We urge Secretary Johanns to revise his timeline and make food safety a priority for the Bush Administration.

Field Music: Tones Of Town
there is an album that has gotten so much play in my headphones over the last week that i wake up, go to sleep, walk the sidewalks, brush my teeth to the beat of the songs. i mean it, i mean it. i'm completely and utterly obsessed with it right now, and it's about to get a rave review here on NfT. if you're sick of my raving lately, i don't know what to tell you. it's called good luck.
lovely, jangly, poppy, happy and British, but not the Kooks (by any means). your ears perk, yes? and they should. they are Field Music, and they're back with a new full-length LP (UK readers: "you have it?" US readers: "who?"), called Tones Of Town. this thing is amazing. i'm going to go ahead and tell you it's the best pop i've heard from overseas all year, just to make a point. they take their cue from old giants (Beatles) and the mediocrity of today's Kooks and mix it with a new depth to take much more seriously. they're talented as hell, expertly employing a wide range of sounds (strings!) and producing a complete work of art, often stringing songs together, flowing one into the next almost undetectably (until you try to pick mp3s to share). Tones Of Town has been the perfect remedy to pick me up in the face of this ever-colder city, snapping my steps to a new beat that just won't leave my head. oh, i promise you a good time. you'll be so glad you believed me.
::::and would you believe it, these mp3s will actually work now:
Field Music - Give It Lose It Take It
-- this is the first track of the album. i hadn't heard anything from the album, and i was walking out of my building as this started, and i paid particular attention to the opening. i was so surprised when the music started up after the bells, and was instantly hooked. watch out at 40 seconds in... and just let the beatles influence floor you. a minute:thirty in and you'll see just why they're so fucking good.
Field Music - Working To Work
-- seventh track presents a catchy-as-hell breakdown, a slightly more simplified arrangement, and quite simply a great song. the Brits in them shine through here, and a little Paul McCartney...
BONUS:Field Music - She Can Do What She Wants
-- it was so impossibly hard not to give you this entire album, i'm telling you. instead, i closed off this line-up with their intended closer, which is just such a great song. oh, man. fantastic lead-in, irresistable harmonies, tambourine, strings (keyboard-produced or no) - oh, luscious. and it will be stuck in your head for the next five years.
i mean, this whole album is so incredible it almost makes me angry. it's this frustration that i know not every reader will pick up these tracks, that not everyone will believe me, that i'll fail in conveying my honest passion for the music i've found. but that's the gig here, i guess.
the hype will only grow and grow, so check there often for more and more tracks (so you can believe me, really).
also, tell them hi on their myspace, and listen to good songs.
Labels: reviews
I saw this band support Stereolab in London earlier this year. I walked in and they were playing, and I had no idea who they cwere but they sounded good, and then they played a song which i recognised but couldn't place, and only when I got home did it come to me that I'd seen Field Music, and the song had been going round in my head for weeks and was called "Pieces of me". Classic.
Stereolab were pretty damn good too!
Field Music are genius. I had the pleasure of interviewing them at a festival in the UK and they're the most humble, modest and genuine people. First album was something special, the B-Sides album was ace...this has the capability of being absolutely superb. I can't wait!
Joe x
They really are an absolutely incredible band, it baffles me how they can be so good.Post a Comment
*namedrop* I was speaking to some members of Maximo Park a couple of weeks ago, and they're friends with field music, and they were all raving about how good the new album was. When I finally heard it, it was every bit as good as I expected it to be, and more.
Album of the year for 2007, unless some sort of miracle occurs and someone actually manages to better it.

Fascinating how in baseball the whole team can get collectively hot/cold.
Rounding third and heading for home...
The Reds are struggling offensively....fortunately for them one of their guys is hitting .381 over his last 8 starts with 10 runs and 5 RBI.....in his last 23 starts he's a cool .324 with 20 runs!
to be fair to Cueto, the brewers offense is alot better than the Reds so Fiers could get away with alot more
We were bound to hit a cold streak after being that hot for that long. Hopefully it won't linger for too much longer

4-22-07 - Clay Glover was unhittable in Southeastern Oklahoma State's series finale Sunday afternoon against Cameron at the Ballpark in Durant.
The junior from Monroe, Okla. struckout a career-high 16 batters in a one-hit shutout and Daniel Hoegh delivered the game-winning hit in the eighth inning to propel the Storm to a 1-0 win over the Aggies.
The win evens Southeastern's season record at 25-25, improves its mark against LSC North Division opponents to 11-9 and upped its crossover mark to 24-20 (.545).
The Storm pulled with a game and a half of second-place Southwestern Oklahoma State in the North Division, and is now just percentage points behind the final wild card berth in the LSC Postseason tournament as Texas A&M-Kingsville is 22-18 (.550).
SOSU can make the tournament by finishing among the top two in the North Division or by having one of the two best overall LSC marks of the remaining squads. The six-team tournament will be played May 5-8 in Abilene, Texas.
Glover ensured the Storm stayed in the chase by delivering a gutsy, if not brilliant performance against the Aggies. His 16 stirkeouts fell two short of SOSU's all-time, nine-inning single game mark as Kendall Prather struck out 18 against East Central on April 6, 2001 in Ada.
Glover struggled with his control at times and walked the bases full in the fifth, but got Mark Armstrong swinging and induced Ryan Whiteley to foul out to right to end the threat.
The first two Aggies also reached the next inning as Glover issued a leadoff walk to B.J. Cole and Blake Watson reached on an error. With his pitch count up, Glover caught Josh Mathiesen looking on a sacrifice bunt attempt and K'd Bryan Nichols for two outs.
Lance Powers came through with a diving stop to his left to rob Kyle Walbrick of an RBI and Cameron of its best run-scoring thr eat of the day to send the game scoreless into the eighth.
That's when the Storm finally broke through against Aggie starter J.W. Koweno, who allowed seven hits, while throwing 94 pitches in a complete game.
SOSU's Brad Northcott opened the inning by reaching on a bunt attempt after Cameron third baseman Nichols' throw sailed wide of of the bag at first. Powers followed with a well-placed bunt single to give the Storm runners on first and second with no outs.
After Erik Hughes reached on a fielder's choice on a failed sacrifice attempt, Clay delivered an RBI single up the middle to score Powers for the only run of the game.
Powers paced the SOSU attack by going 2-for-3, while Jared Johnson extended his season-best hitting streak to seven games with a single to right field in the seventh.
Whiteley accouted for Cameron's lone hit of the game when his grounder to third base took a bad hop to allude SOSU third baseman Hughes.
Glover improved t o 6-6 on the season in a 175-pitch performance.
The Savage Storm continue the stretch run with a doubleheader against rival East Central on Wednesday before closing the regular season with a three-game set at Northeastern State next weekend.

Blatter scores an own goal for FifaTuesday, May 31st, 2011 by Mark Perry
"Crisis what crisis?" was Fifa President's reaction to a journalist's question at a press conference called by the football's governing body yesterday.
There is little doubt that, to those outside the organisation, it's in crisis. For years there have been claims of mismanagement and even corruption which has reached new levels in the last week with leading members of FIFA's governing committees turning on themselves.
Yesterday, appearing to react to the growing press clamour for answers, Blatter called a press conference.
As it turned out the conference should be shown to any CEO who might have to face the media as an example of how to appear out of touch and in denial.
He patronised the journalists, stopping at one point – when a murmur went around the room as he avoided actually answering the questions – to tell the room to show him more respect.
His whole approach was adversarial and showed contempt for the journalists who dared to ask any difficult questions. He certainly was not trying to show any contrition or win any media battle. The premise was this: he was right; they were wrong.
He had the perfect opportunity to draw a line under the accusations by calling a wide, independent inquiry which would at least have bought him more time. Looking at the media reaction today the whole event has left him, and the organisation, more damaged.
Blatter is going to need a better crisis management plan and attitude towards the media if he is ultimately going to survive this one.

Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley told priests Tuesday that the Roman Catholic church's next great challenge in Boston will demand the same spiritual intensity as the conclave that chose Pope Francis earlier this month.
Reorganizing the archdiocese into clusters of parishes — a daunting undertaking that the archdiocese hopes will eventually strengthen parishes and bring more people back to church — should not be merely about strategy or technique, the archbishop of Boston said.
"We want our own pastoral planning process, like the conclave in Rome, to be a Pentecost moment in this Year of Faith," he said, referring to the moment described in the Gospels in which, 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus, the Holy Spirit descended from heaven and filled the disciples.
O'Malley spoke at this year's Chrism Mass, the Holy Week rite in which priests from across the archdiocese gather at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross to renew their vows and consecrate oil for use in sacraments throughout the year.
The Chrism Mass homily is usually the archbishop's main annual address to priests. This year's service — attended by some 350 priests, as well as hundreds of Catholic schoolchildren and lay people — took on special significance with the election of Pope Francis and O'Malley's participation in the conclave that chose him. O'Malley became a surprise papal contender in the days before the conclave, even winning one readers' poll in a leading Roman newspaper.
"While you were in Rome, the Orthodox were rooting for you," Metropolitan Methodios, the Greek Orthodox hierarch of Boston, told O'Malley at Tuesday's service, to laughter and applause. "But we were also praying that God would lead your steps back home, because this is where we want you to be."
O'Malley said he was touched by his popularity in Italy, but while in Rome, he also felt close to people back home in Boston.
"I knew that we were united in prayer, praying that the Holy Spirit guide our church in this important decision," he said.
That same attitude, he said, needs to guide the archdiocese's reorganization. The complex, multiyear effort will get under way in the coming months, when the archdiocese begins training the priests who will lead the first dozen parish clusters.
He praised the priests who volunteered to participate in the pilot phase, comparing their faith to that of the cardinals who participated in the conclave without knowing its outcome.
O'Malley predicted that Francis's devotion to the poor would reach nonchurchgoers in highly secularized societies in Europe and the United States and "help them to see the church in a new light."
O'Malley asked priests to tend to the poor in their own parishes and to look for the needy in unexpected places.
"Many people who but a few years ago never thought they would be faced with shortfalls in providing the basic needs for their families, including many living in the leafy suburbs, are on the verge of insolvency following years of unemployment and discouragement," he said. "We are called to grow in our awareness . . . and determine how we, as a faith community, can help them."Lisa Wangsness can be reached at email@example.com.

Palo Alto County's Board of Supervisors granted tentative approval to several reports on Drainage District 48 during their final meeting of 2012 on Thursday, Dec. 27. Drainage Engineer Don Etler presented three reports to the board for their consideration as the trustees of the district.
"I bring to you the tentative Right-of-way acquisition report, an annexation report and a reclassification report for district 48 in Ellington Township,"?Etler explained. "This reclassification and annexation are the first complete project that we have used the county's GIS system information to complete. It only took an afternoon, using the GIS, as opposed to spending three or four days driving the district, looking at soil maps and topographical maps to determine this information."
According to Etler, the right-of-way for the open ditch was adjusted to 100 feet, and to acquire additional right-of-way, 30 percent of market value for farmland, using an average value of $10,000 an acre, was used by the reclassification commissioners.
"In the annexation report, an additional 221 acres that had not been assessed and were found to be part of the district were annexed into the district,"?Etler noted.
In granting tentative approval to the reports, the supervisors set 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, at the County Election Center, as the time and place for public hearings on the Right-Of-Way, Annexation and Reclassification reports for Drainage District 48.
In other items of business, the supervisors approved a conditional use permit for a confinement operation to be located in Section nine of Independence Township for Lee Wegener. The site will contain two 50-401' buildings with deep pit manure storage.
"Planning and Zoning recommended approval of these sites, as they meet both the Master Matrix and the Good Neighbor Policy," noted Zoning Administrator Joe Neary.
The board approved the permits on a unanimous vote.
"P &?Z also talked about having an informational meeting with the big confinement companies again to remind them about the Good Neighbor Policy and what to expect,"?Neary said.
The board expressed support of such a meeting and gave Neary the OK.
"We have a policy - we're not reinventing it - we just want to remind folks what we expect," Neary said.

The John Murray Show Monday 12 August 2013
A lively mix of entertainment, human interest and lifestyle features with Kathryn Thomas.
Well, it's a dream for many young boys... to get picked to try out for a Premiership soccer club & when that club is Manchester United, where players like Roy Keane, Denis Irwin & John O'Shea have starred, it's the chance of a lifetime. This is what exactly happened to 15 year old Jimmy Dunne, who's from Blackrock, in Co Louth who joins Kathryn on the line this morning, along with his father Eamonn.
A 'missed connection' is defined as a type of personal advertisement which arises after two people meet but are too shy, or otherwise unable to exchange contact details. Publications around the world including Ireland's Metro Herald publish 'Missed Connection' classifieds which enable people to write the details of their chance encounter, in the hopes that the other person will check & they'll be reunited. Joining Kathryn in studio is Alan Caulfield.
Last week, during the bus drivers' strike, there was a lot of talk of the pay and conditions of the worker in Ireland in 2013... but how does it compare to a year when the pay and conditions of workers led to huge changes in Irish society? Shane Mac Thomáis is a historian and resident author in Glasnevin cemetery & has been taking a look at the records of 1913. This morning he joins Kathryn in studio.
We're always hearing what a stressful job teaching is and, this summer, 500 primary school teachers took part in an online course in mindfulness. We have two teachers with us this morning to tell us about – among other things – teaching meditation to senior infants! Bridie O'Grady is in our Limerick studio & Aoife O'Boyle is in studio in Dublin.

Tourism directors in Thomasville say the Rose City's plantations and historic districts are a multi-million dollar boost to the economy. Now, they're working on several new marketing tools to bring in even more visitors.
The historic Rose City attracts hundreds of visitors a week for all different reasons.
Stephanie Dick and Natalie Morrison, visiting from Tallahassee, say, "We came to look at all the shops, all the antique shops and the cute little shops and the community, all the little cafes."
Mike and Debbie Parsons who are visiting from Deland, FL, add, "The architecture, it still has the quaintness, the architecture the paint, everything is detailed as it would be 100 years ago. That's important, we like that."
Statistics show in 2003, visitors spent more than $43 million in Thomasville, making tourism one of the biggest industries in Thomas County. Tourism directors say their goal now is to market Thomasville to an even larger audience.
Don Fabiani of the Thomasville Visitor Bureau says, "We're trying very hard to get motor coaches into Thomasville. When you see one of those tour buses, if they overnight in your town it's going to bring in between $5,000 and $11,000 per bus."
With a brand new tourist guide and a promotional video, tourism directors hope to show Thomasville off for what it really is.
About 590 people are currently employed in various aspects of Thomasville's tourist industry. Tourism officials say that is a very high number for a city of only 20,000.

We took interest in him. He was always in our house. Sometimes we had to tell him, 'Why don't you go home? It's getting dark. —Emmanuel Opare Sr., on Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah
Editor's note: This is the third in a three-part series on former BYU standout and current Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah.
ACCRA, Ghana — During his teenage years, Ezekiel "Ziggy" Ansah spent most of his time in the home of the Opare family.
Emmanuel Opare Sr. and Monica Opare have been like parents to him.
"Somewhere along the line," Monica said, "he became my son. He calls me 'Mom.'"
One of the Opares' biological sons, Alma, who graduated from BYU and currently lives in Utah, had been Ansah's teacher at the Golden Sunbeam School in Accra years ago.
Ziggy was drawn to Alma, and he spent most of his time in the Opare home, playing video games, eating meals, and participating in various activities associated with a typical LDS household, such as family prayer and family home evening.
"We took interest in him. He was always in our house," Opare Sr., the Golden Sunbeam School headmaster, recalled. "Sometimes we had to tell him, 'Why don't you go home? It's getting dark.'"
"We took him in as part of the family," Monica said. "When Alma left for (an LDS mission), Ezekiel replaced Alma in the family."
Throughout that time, the Opares had been careful to not talk to Ziggy about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints because they didn't want his family to think they were exerting too much influence on him.
Later, Ziggy met LDS missionaries while playing basketball on the Sport Court at Golden Sunbeam and ended up joining the LDS Church.
Golden beginnings
This past July, at the Golden Sunbeam School, the Opares showed a reporter a photo album filled with pictures of Ansah serving in the Ghanaian ROTC, singing in the choir, and dunking a basketball at the Sport Court. They made a photocopy of a transcript of his perfect grades at Golden Sunbeam, where he attended from fourth grade through ninth grade.
"Everything started from here," Opare Sr. said. "He went to another school for senior high because our school just went through the ninth grade. When he finished there, he came back here again as a teaching assistant. He was good at math, so we put him to help those who were weak at math to coach them. That is Ezekiel for you."
It was the Opares that arranged for Ansah to go to school at BYU. They helped him apply, and paid for him to travel to the United States.
When Ziggy was drafted No. 5 overall by the Detroit Lions in April's National Football League draft, Alma was one of the handful of people Ziggy invited to be with him in New York City for the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Through Alma, the Opares kept close tabs on Ziggy in Provo, following, from a long distance, his many ups and downs.
At one point at BYU, Ziggy expressed a desire to serve an LDS mission, according to the Opares. But he didn't want to place a burden on his family. He wanted to pay for it himself.
"I know he still has that desire to serve," said Emmanuel Opare Jr.
Ziggy later told the Opares that playing football could be a way for him to share the gospel.
"We'll see about his mission on the football field," Opare Jr. said, chuckling. "Teaching the gospel while bumping someone."
While Monica regularly worried about Ziggy while he was at BYU, one day she saw something on her computer screen that bothered her. It was a picture of Ziggy sporting a dreadlocks hair style, and Monica groaned. She didn't like it at all.
"I said, 'What is my son up to?'" she remembered with a smile. "We called him and asked him to cut it off. I told him, 'Ezekiel, I don't think I like to have my son with this kind of hair. I do not think I like this hairdo. This hairdo looks like somebody who is a ruffian.''"
Not long after that conversation, Ziggy obediently cut off his hair.
Avoiding the spotlight
The Opares were sorry to inform a reporter, who had traveled 7,000 miles from Utah to Accra, that Ziggy's family wouldn't be doing any interviews.
That morning, Monica Opare went to the Ansah home, located a few blocks up the dusty road from the Golden Sunbeam School in Adenta, to remind Ziggy's mother, Elizabeth, about the interview with the reporter.
Ziggy's mom is a tall, reserved woman. She had done some interviews when she was an invited guest of the NFL to attend the draft in New York City in April.
After that overwhelming experience, Elizabeth accompanied her son to Detroit. Then it was off to Provo, so she could see where Ziggy had spent the previous four years of his life.
But Elizabeth, a registered nurse who is naturally shy and soft-spoken, felt she had said some embarrassing things during interviews in New York City.
One thing she said that week did make headlines, but it wasn't something she said directly to the media. BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall told reporters that in the Radio City Music Hall green room just before the draft began, Elizabeth asked Mendenhall what the chances were of an NFL team from Utah drafting her son. Mendenhall, of course, had to explain that there are no NFL teams in Utah. It seemed like a humorous, harmless anecdote.
Perhaps that's what Elizabeth felt had embarrassed her son.
"She doesn't know anything about football," Monica explained. "She said something that was not correct, that she didn't know much about. She feels she embarrassed Ezekiel. She's afraid of making more mistakes, and more people will hear about it. That's what her main concern is. She doesn't want to make mistakes. I don't know what mistakes she made. Ezekiel told her, 'Mom, you make my friends tease me.'"
That's why Elizabeth declined to be interviewed, despite Monica's concerted efforts.
"When I went there this morning, I said, 'You need to talk to the reporter. Ezekiel is your son,'" Monica said. "She told me, 'You know Ezekiel is your son. I gave Ezekiel to you. He's your son. So why don't you say everything? You know more than I know about Ezekiel.'
"I said, 'Yes, but you gave birth to Ezekiel before you brought him to my school.' She said, 'I gave him to you and you took charge of him. All I know is, you sent him to BYU. That's all. You know the whole story.'"
Staying the course
Around the time Ziggy was drafted, the BBC Radio network produced a story about Ziggy that aired on a Ghanaian station. Ansah's older brother was interviewed. The report helped elevate Ziggy's status in Ghana, but he remains relatively unknown. That's not surprising because, when it comes to sports in Ghana, soccer is unquestionably king.
Apparently, the Ansahs are trying to come to grips with all of the changes in Ziggy's life. He is the youngest of five children and the only member of the LDS Church in his family.
At one point before Ziggy left for the United States, Monica said, one of Ziggy's brothers advised him that once he arrived in America he should cut off ties with the Opares and live his own life.
"Is that what you are going to do?" Monica asked Ziggy one day.
"No. My brother thinks I joined the church because I want you to help me," Ziggy told her. "I didn't join the church because I wanted you to help me. I joined the church because I can see the gospel is true."
While Elizabeth has been supportive of her son — she faithfully attended Ziggy's school events and even his LDS baptism — Monica said some of Ziggy's family members remain skeptical.
"They never liked Ezekiel's decision to be with us," she said. "I get scared that if Ezekiel doesn't turn out well, this whole family will blame me. I took their son away from them and look what became of him. I am responsible. I still worry about him."
The Opare family continually prays for Ziggy, and they hope for the best for him. They hope he's true to himself and that he's able to avoid the temptations and potential pitfalls that come with being a professional athlete. They want him to be a success — not just in the world's eyes, but, more importantly, in the eyes of his country and in the eyes of his church.
"My only prayer is that he continues to stay a role model," Opare Jr. said. "I recently sent him an email. I told him, 'The media can be your friend, but it also can be your worst nightmare.' He needs to represent himself well, and his country. He represents his nation and his religion. I think Ziggy understands that. The hope is that he keeps remembering that."

Submission + - Georgia Tech Launches "Titan" Threat Intelligence System (securityweek.com)
wiredmikey writes: A new malware intelligence system developed at Georgia Tech Research Institute is helping organizations share threat intelligence and work together to understand malware and cyber attacks. Dubbed Titan, the system lets members submit threat data and collaborate on malware analysis and classification. Unlike some other systems, members contribute data anonymously so no one would know which specific organizations had been affected by a specific attack. Titan users also get reports on malware samples they have submitted, such as the potential harm, the likely source, the best remedy, and the risks posed by the sample. The analysis is based on what GTRI researchers learn by reverse-engineering the malware. The project currently analyzes and classifies an average of 100,000 pieces of malicious code each day and growing. While other information sharing initiatives have been launched, many are by vendors, which sometimes sparks concern that the vendor may have some bias, and may be pushing a certain product. Not the case with Titan.

Researcher Finds Hidden Data-Dumping Services In iOS 98
Jonathan Zdziarski, a forensic scientist and researcher who has worked extensively with law enforcement and intelligence agencies, has spent quite a bit of time looking at the capabilities and services available in iOS for data acquisition and found that some of the services have no real reason to be on these devices and that several have the ability to bypass the iOS backup encryption. One of the services in iOS, called mobile file_relay, can be accessed remotely or through a USB connection can be used to bypass the backup encryption. If the device has not been rebooted since the last time the user entered the PIN, all of the data encrypted via data protection can be accessed, whether by an attacker or law enforcement, Zdziarski said. Update: 07/21 22:15 GMT by U L : Slides.

RE: Bandwagon ahoy!
by b3timmons on Wed 22nd Nov 2006 19:08 UTC in reply to "Bandwagon ahoy!"
"Whatever the arguments on either side - and there have been millions of words, probably, about them by now at tedious length, often - this is all beginning to smack of publicity-seeking. In this case publicity-seeking by a well-known F/OSS publicity hound. No thanks. Microsoft and Novell should be assessed by what they now do go to do, not by what they or others say."
Publicity whoredom is bad, but it does not necessarily negate the value of this. Have you read the letter?
I thought it was reasonable and among the many "signatures" have business relationships with Novell. Attached to some of these are details from people who are or have been close to Novell.

Thats a pretty good deal for a coach who is 6-13 in his last 19 games, admitted he was worried about getting booted along with GM Mike Tannenbaum and will be on his third offensive coordinator in three years.
