There is still work to do, both to raise awareness of the benefits of strong human rights protections and to make sure they apply effectively, to everyone. The Equally Ours partners are proud to be working together to raise awareness of the everyday benefits of human rights for people from all walks of life, in every part of the country.
Every year in the UK 80,000 young people experience homelessness, a fact known to too few but one that should trouble all of us. Tonight members of the public in eight cities will make their feelings known by giving up their beds and spending a night on the street in the largest national Sleep Out of its kind.
Local authority support and in particular financial support for local Councils of Voluntary Service (CVS) is ebbing away in too many places. This is tragic. They serve the same communities. There should be common cause to promote community well-being and much more. Well-being and outcomes in challenging times require strong public - social/sector partnership.
How charitable is the charity sector? It depends who you ask. If you are the executive of one of Britain's leading foreign aid charities you are likely to give a positive answer, but then you would be a beneficiary of this generosity of spirit. If, however, you are one of thousands of unpaid interns currently working for free for charities across the UK, you might be inclined to disagree.
Bookmakers across Britain are joining forces to combat the scourge of problem gambling, or so the script goes at least. The formation of the P3 Group is seen by more cynical observers as just the latest, desperate attempt by the bookies to stave off a growing avalanche of pressure to better police the gambling industry.
Handing over the keys to some of our most precious public services isn't something that should be done lightly, particularly when public trust is at stake. As a head of a country wide charity that deals with more than a million people each year, I'm acutely aware of the fragility of trust when delivering public services.
This week has illustrated just how the Government is continuing to heap pressure on the voluntary and community sector. Charities are suffering a triple hit with cuts of over 45 per cent in central government funding, local councils being forced to cut their VCS budgets, and a significant reduction in donations.

My friend, Pastor (and now school teacher!) Tony Kummer, just posted up the latest edition of the Children's Ministry Think Tank. Here is the latest question and my thoughts. Click over to his site to see very thoughtful answers to the same question from Brenna Phillips and Glenn Woods.
How should children's ministry offer an urgent Gospel invitation without emotionally manipulating children? When does child evangelism cross the line and become abuse? What principles guide you in this area?
Last week [now a few weeks back], I read the following words from Henry Zonio (http://elementalcm.com) regarding evangelistic presentations for children:
The key… is to help connect children and families to Christ and allowing the Holy Spirit to do the work of conversion. It's more than just praying a prayer, raising a hand or coming to the altar. It's about life transformation, and that is something that can't be manufactured or manipulated into existence.
Henry is right. Real conversion—life transformation—can't be manufactured or manipulated into existence. It is God's work, not the work of a minister or parent. When we seek quick decisions from children, we are in danger of manipulation. So, in the spirit of Henry Zonio, here are some principles for avoiding manipulative evangelism. Continue Reading…

Do not hesitate..this rug is awesome. Purchased for our large open foyer and am thrilled, it is incredibly plush..so much so the dogs and our cat rarely get off of it!
I was nervous about buying this rug because I had purchased a Savafieh rug last year and hated it. It was wool and shed like crazy! So I went with polyproplene this time and there is no shedding, hooray! It's VERY plush and comfortable. My only criticism is that it came with a strong plasticky smell so we had to air it out for a few days. It's been a few weeks and there's still a faint smell. But overall a great rug for this price!
It was a great rug, lays well, nice and thick. But I ordered black and none of the reviews mentioned that it would look shiny. It has silver weaved into the thread and it looks shiny. Doesn't work for me. But didn't want to pay to mail it back so I'm giving to my son.
great that is all I can say. better that expected thick pile

Hard Red Winter Wheat Seeds
Winter wheat is planted in the fall and harvested the following summer. Many times it will yield more than spring wheat. Like all the winter grains, one of the major advantages to winter wheat is that it starts growing right away in the spring. Which means you will not get stuck in the spring rains/mud trying to plant like spring wheat.
Winter wheat must sprout and grow in the fall and then go through a period of vernalization for it to produce grain the following summer. This is why it is important to seed winter wheat early enough that it can get established. However, it can be tricky, because winter wheat that grows too tall or too much is more susceptible to winter kill. For this reason it is possible to seed your winter wheat too early.
|Peron Sprayless Tomato Seed
A miraculous variety developed by Prof. Abelardo Piovano at the National University of Argentina. Medium size semi-determinate, bushy vines are very resistant to fungus diseases common to tomatoes. Heavy yields of large sized fruits.

All across the world, new and established Xbox One owners are now fending off the Awesomepocalypse and engaging in multiplayer "Chaos Squad" games. It's a fairly awesome time to be an Xbox gamer.

A week ago we announced that we were evolving from Windows Phone Central to Windows Central, and with our name change would be a lot more coverage on all things Windows. On top of bringing you all the Windows Phone news, we're ramping up our coverage on everything else Windows offers, including gaming! As you probably already know, this means we're bringing you as much quality Xbox One Twitch streams as we can. Later this week you can catch some Halo: The Master Chief Collection game play on Wednesday and Thursday, and every stream is a chance to chat (and sometimes play along with) the Windows Central staff and win tons of prizes.
In the meantime, we have an Xbox One Titanfall bundle to give away this week here on the blog!
If you own an Xbox 360 copy of Grand Theft Auto V and you also own an Xbox One, you may be wondering why you should get the upcoming HD port of the hit open world action game for Microsoft's latest game console (besides the obvious graphical improvements). Today, Rockstar answered that question by revealing loads of exclusive content that can only be accessed by players of the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the game who trade up for the Xbox One and Playstation 4 versions.
The World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C, has announced that it has finally finalized the specs for the HTML5 standard after almost eight years of work.

Update 3: The 8.1 update is live as our T-Mobile Lumia 925 now has Lumia Cyan (and it is also enrolled in the Preview for Developers program)
It looks like T-Mobile US is getting ready to unveil finally the Windows Phone 8.1 and Lumia Cyan update for its venerable Lumia 925.
Evidence comes from T-Mobile's support forums, which detailed the over-the-air update. However, that page has since reverted and despite an earlier claim, we have not had an update for our Lumia 925s. It looks like T-Mobile may have jumped the gun a bit early, although we have all the details.
As Microsoft continues with its public test of the Windows 10 Technical Preview, the company is already beginning the process of preparing businesses to deploy the OS and upgrade their PCs from Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Announcements were made for Microsoft Azure, Intune mobile device management, cross-platform developer tools support, and new cloud partners.

Microsoft's upcoming Future Decoded event will take place in November, which will be held alongside AppsWorld.

Military leaders welcome House GOP spending bill
The nation's military leaders on Tuesday welcomed a sweeping House Republican spending measure to keep the government operating through September, saying it would ease some of the pain of automatic, across-the-board budget cuts hitting the Pentagon.
Associated Press
The nation's military leaders on Tuesday welcomed a sweeping House Republican spending measure to keep the government operating through September, saying it would ease some of the pain of automatic, across-the-board budget cuts hitting the Pentagon.
The GOP bill unveiled Monday would still impose some $43 billion in defense cuts over the next seven months, but it would boost money for military readiness, a top priority for the Pentagon.
"It would mitigate at least one-third of our problem," said Army Gen. Raymond Odierno, who earlier has described the impact of the automatic cuts, from a delay in upgrading barracks at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., to slowing expansion of Arlington National Cemetery.
The head of the Navy, Adm. Jonathan Greenert, said the difference for the service would be like night and day, with operations allowed to move ahead such as moving carriers and amphibian ships.
The military has complained about the combination of across-the-board cuts and the government operating at last year's spending levels. The bill the House is expected to vote on Thursday would avert a government shutdown later this month.
The legislation combines updated 2013 budgets for the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments, providing much-needed increases for military operations, while the rest of the government operates basically on autopilot.
However, the bill would leave the automatic cuts in place - a 5 percent reduction in domestic agencies and 7.8 percent for the Defense Department.
The members of the Joint Chiefs detailed the impact of the cuts, from military construction projects on hold to furloughs.
Marine Corps Gen. James Amos said he was heartened by the legislation.

Part of a school Assignment, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out~
So I finally decided to draw up all my Monster hunter characters.
They work under a big corporation that runs the majority of everything in their world. During their 'Hunting' careers they are placed into squadrons of five, each person with a useful skill set. Each group kinda has their own special thing they do that defines form the rest and these guys are rather fond of 'void' tattoos and partly shaved hairstyles, all apart from Lorrie, as 'black sqiggles' and 'shaven heads' are just not her thing.
Lyric specializes in hand-to-hand combat and is basically the 'tank' of the group, Lyric's tattoos mean something quite important to her, but that meaning is just as mysterious as her.
Vinny is a master at surviving in the wilderness and tracking the hunted in said wilderness, he is quick thinking and knows how to use his surroundings to his advantage. Nobody has ever seen Vinny's face.
Sacha Leader of the group and a master at duel wielding blades.The ring tattoos on his fingers and thumbs record how many monsters he's 'hunted'. The X on his right, ring finger records something that he forgot not long ago, but what was it?
Tammy The second youngest member of the team, specializing in all things electronic, from radios to robotics.
And lastly the newest member to the squad Lorrie. She's a researcher, gaining knowledge about the monsters they hunt to further the progress of their fight for survival.
Winter's Shade, an upcoming webcomic, is a post-apocalyptic story with elements of fantasy, sc-fi, and a twist on the 'Magical Girl' trope. The comic has no set release date, but it should be debuting sometime in the spring next year. Winter's Shade is a comic I've been working away at for quite a few years now, it's story and characters are very dear to my heart, and I look forward to sharing it with you.
Hey, HeIlo everyone, I have some very exciting news for you all. I have started my first webcomic, Winter's Shade! There are no pages yet, but pages will begin being posted sometime in the spring next year.
This comic holds a very special place in my heart and it would mean the world to me if you'd follow the blog, which you can find here or reblog this post, to get the message out. I hope you'll enjoy the story and it's characters as much as I do. Thank you.

NHL playoffs 2013: L.A. Kings continue domination at home: Cox
With Jonathan Toews still struggling, the Hawks are likely going to need some big-time offence from Patrick Kane to fuel this spring's Cup drive, Damien Cox writes
|Report an Error
Share via Email
From Damien Cox's Spin on Sports blog:
For the Los Angeles Kings, it's really just about holding serve and letting others worry about entertaining the fans.
Just win at home, the reigning Stanley Cup champs figure, and you're never out of a playoff series.
That formula worked in the first round of the playoffs when the Kings lost the first two games to the St. Louis Blues but roared back to win three straight at home and one in Missouri to advance.
Against the San Jose Sharks in the second round, the Kings didn't win a game up north but got four victories at the Staples Centre to move on to the Western Conference final.
That straightforward approach clicked again Tuesday night when, after dropping Games 1 and 2 in Chicago, the Kings returned home and ground out a 3-1 triumph in typical L.A. style.
Darryl Sutter's crew will worry about trying to win one in the Windy City later on. Right now, it's just about holding serve at home, and they're halfway to doing that after Wednesday.
As has usually been the case with the low-scoring Kings of late, it wasn't a thing of beauty, Anze Kopitar was again less than dangerous and an empty-netter was needed to seal the deal.
But the Kings outhustled the Hawks for most of the opening two periods, got a glorious save from Jonathan Quick on Chicago's playoff ace Bryan Bickell in the third and held on for the victory.
The Kings love their games to be as uneventful as possible, other than the usual miracle saves from Quick, and in this case they almost got it. Chicago's Duncan Keith, however, will get some scrutiny from league officials for his one-handed swat with this stick to the face of L.A.'s Jeff Carter during the second period.
A suspension? Who knows under the Brendan Shanahan watch. Given the throw-the-rulebook-out-the-window approach to NHL officiating in the post-season, it's probably surprising there was even a penalty.
Given that Keith did receive a double-minor, and given that Carter was relatively unhurt, a suspension seems unlikely. Then again, Keith has been called on the carpet before, and that might work against him.
As it was, Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville will undoubtedly be furious with the veteran defenceman for the dumb, selfish penalty, which could have made the ultimate result a foregone conclusion in the second period had the Kings scored.
Fortunately, there was no record of Keith being interviewed by any female reporters afterwards, so at least he dodged that minefield this time.
Justin Williams scored the most important goal of the game — the first — while the Hawks have to be getting a little worried about Patrick Kane, who hasn't scored in seven games and has only two goals in the post-season so far.
Bickell has come up with important goals, and Patrick Sharp has been excellent with eight goals in the post-season. But with captain Jonathan Toews still struggling with only one goal in the playoffs, the Hawks are likely going to need some big-time offence from Kane to fuel this spring's Cup drive.
The Presidents Trophy winners are still in control of this series, and the list of clubs that have won conference finals after trailing 2-0 is small indeed. But Wednesday's game brought the L.A. formula back into play, and while the Kings can't outscore anyone, they know how to do what they did in Game 3 better than anybody.
One more Kings' win and we're into a two-out-of-three scenario. L.A. wouldn't mind that one bit. They think they can squeeze any opponent into submission.

Utah Jazz: Old Friends Tour continues as Jazz face Atlanta, Charlotte
"He's a really good guy," Kanter said of Jefferson. "He texted me the day he signed with Charlotte. He said, 'I tried to help you, now it's on you. I know you're going to do real well.' He's just a really good guy."
Hayward appreciated the bond that Jefferson and Kanter had. The Jazz shooting guard laughed thinking back to how Big Al would "just mess with him a lot" but also take the time to tutor him even though he knew Kanter would eventually replace him in Utah's lineup.
"I think Enes learned a lot from Al," Hayward said. "He was a cool guy to have on the team. Good memories with those guys."
All four former Jazz players the team will face this weekend are playing well.
Millsap, who signed a bargain of a two-year, $19 million deal, is averaging 16.5 points and 8.1 rebounds. He's already shot a career-high 53 3-pointers and is shooting a career-best 43.4 percent from beyond the arc.
"He just competed every single night. He worked hard. He didn't really say that much. He just gave it his all every night," Hayward said. "I think as far as a Jazz player, that's kind of what the fans liked about him. He was a competitor, man, so he just went out there and played."
Carroll, a season-long starter, is averaging career highs in points (9.6 ppg), rebounds (5.8 rpg), assists (1.6 apg) and steals (1.2 spg) with his fifth NBA team after Utah helped him revive his NBA life.
Korver has an ongoing NBA record for consecutive games with a 3-pointer, a streak of 95 games that includes eight treys made in Wednesday's blowout of Sacramento.
"Kyle's a super, super human being," Corbin said, "and DeMarre's a great guy. I think he really enjoyed his time with us and his game grew from the time he came with us to the time he left. He's making the most of his opportunity."
Jefferson dealt with ankle issues early in the season, but he's now putting up his usual steady numbers of 15.6 points and 9.3 rebounds.
Though Kanter has been relegated to a reserve role and is fighting through some struggles, the third-year pro will get his shot against Jefferson on Saturday.
"I don't think Paul or DeMarre will say anything," Hayward said, "but Al probably has some jokes that he'll crack."
Among other moves.
Favors was asked if he considers these upcoming games to be fun showdowns.
"Competitive-wise, it's fun. It's tough guarding those guys, man," Favors admitted. "You know what Paul can do. Paul can score in a lot of ways, rebounding. He's just a hard-working guy.
"Now Al," Favors continued, "you know he's coming with that right-hand hook shot that you can't stop. He's going to pump fake you a thousand times." He cracked a grin and added, "But it's fun."
Corbin worked with Millsap for seven years as an assistant and head coach in Utah, so it's hard for him to see the 2006 second-round pick from Louisiana Tech battle for another team.
"He was great for us in all kinds of ways, a great guy. I really enjoyed working with him as a player and just knowing him as a person," Corbin said of Millsap, who made Salt Lake his year-round home. "He really loved and embraced the (Utah) community and I thought the community embraced him. It was a tough loss for us."

As lawmakers debate whether to legalize medical marijuana, many Minnesotans likely don't realize pot is already technically taxed in our state. The problem is, hardly anyone ever pays up.
It's a little-known law that basically relies on drug dealers to voluntarily hand over taxes on their drugs. The law applies to anyone in Minnesota with more than 42.5 grams of pot. It was passed in 1986, and it seems very few people have thought about it since.
"How can it be taxed if it's not legal?" asked Amelia Koenig in Woodbury.
The law imposes a tax of $3.50 on every gram of marijuana. Controlled substances are also taxed at $200 per gram.
How do you pay the tax?
You submit a simple form to the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
There's no need to be nervous -- writing your name is optional. The law states the form is confidential, and can not be used against you in a court of law.
You prove you paid the tax with a marijuana tax stamp, of course. If you possess marijuana that doesn't have a tax stamp on it, you're breaking the law -- in addition to possessing marijuana in the first place.
Since 1986, the DOR has sold 2,079 such stamps, bringing in a grand total of $11,271. It's not much -- but it's still about $11,000 more than most folks would have guessed.
"If these are just people on the streets that are selling it, I doubt they're going to go and get a sticker to put on their baggie when they could just sell it and make a lot of money all for themselves," Koenig said.
State officials want to emphasize that just because marijuana is taxed, that does not make it legal.
The penalties for possessing drugs without tax stamps include a fine of up to $14,000 and up to seven years in prison -- on top of other drug charges.
Criminal defense attorneys we spoke with tell us local suspects are rarely charged with failing to pay drug taxes. However, one Minnesota defendant convicted of selling drugs and failing to pay taxes on those same drugs appealed to the state supreme court. He argued he was sentenced for two drug crimes when he only committed one. He lost that argument in 2011.
A marijuana law reform group says about 20 states have stamp tax laws similar to the in place in Minnesota, although the details of those laws vary from state to state.
The bill to legalized medical marijuana cleared its first legislative hurdle Tuesday night when the House Health and Human Services Committee voted to send it to another committee.

Lawsuit Dismissed, Mysterio Returning to the Ring, The Shield In Action
by Staff - December 12, 2012
- We noted earlier that independent wrestler Brian Jack filed a lawsuit against WWE, Dr. James Andrews and several other people, making several allegations. That lawsuit was actually dismissed on Tuesday by Chief Judge of US District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin, William C. Griesbach. He ruled that the lawsuit was to be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
– Rey Mysterio will be returning to action against Alberto Del Rio at Saturday's WWE Supershow in Wilkes-Barre, PA, the night before WWE TLC. Other matches advertised for the Supershow include John Cena vs. Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus vs. Big Show, Kofi Kingston vs. Wade Barrett and six-man action with Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs. Ryback, Kane and Daniel Bryan.
WWE has no other events scheduled this week so it looks like Saturday's live event in Wilkes-Barre will be the main roster in-ring debut for The Shield.

Illegal Music Downloading Rampant Despite Increased Sales And Streaming
Even with the music industry reporting a 0.3% increase in global sales for 2012, a new study out of the UK finds that illegal downloading is still rampant and close to matching the number of people paying for music.
According to the latest Digital Music Report from the International Federation for the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), music sales increased from $16.2 billion to $16.5 billion from 2011 to 2012, the first time sales went up instead of down in the past 13 years.
"It is hard to remember a year for the recording industry that has begun with such a palpable buzz in the air," raved Frances More, chief executive of the IFPI in the report. "These are hard-won successes for an industry that has innovated, battled and transformed itself over a decade. They show how the music industry has adapted to the internet world, learned how to meet the needs of consumers and monetized the digital marketplace."
But despite the music industry's positive outlook, a new study from British communications regulator Ofcom done over the third quarter of 2012 found that 10% of internet users aged 12 and above had illegally downloaded at least some music, with only 11% paying for downloads and another 6% paying for online subscription services.
When asked why they chose to acquire music illegally, 50% of those surveyed said they simply preferred to get their tunes for free as opposed to paying for them. 46% cited the convenience, with another 43% saying it's a quick way to get new music. Only 26% claimed they used illegal downloading as a way to preview music before purchasing it.
Ironically, those same reasons were given by survey respondents when asked why they chose to pay for new music. 45% of those who purchased music online called it easier and more convenient, with 40% saying it's quicker to simply pay for an album as opposed to searching for a free (and typically illegal) download. It's interesting to note that 33% preferred to purchase music content for moral reasons, saying it was wrong to access music illegally.
The news comes on the heels of the new Copyright Alert System, which will give illegal downloaders "six strikes" before they're alerted by their ISP to cease and desist. Punishments include slower internet speeds.
"Consumers whose accounts have been used to share copyrighted content over P2P networks illegally (or without authority) will receive Alerts that are meant to educate rather than punish, and direct them to legal alternatives," said said Jill Lesser of the Center for Copyright Information in a blog post.
According to an analysis by the Institute for Policy Innovation, global music piracy accounts for $12.5 billion of economic losses annually.

PORTLAND, OR -- (Marketwire) -- 11/28/12 -- Rumblefish, the leading provider of soundtracks for online social video, and Audible Magic, the leading provider of automated content recognition (ACR) solutions, today announced the two companies have joined forces to offer the first end-to-end music licensing platform with closed-loop license verification. By combining the world's largest catalog of copyright-cleared soundtracks with state-of-the art content recognition, the companies solve the problem of discriminating between authorized and unauthorized uses of music for consumers, artists and labels, video apps and online video networks.
This partnership benefits all parties involved in the online video ecosystem. Online video networks and video apps gain access to a significant new revenue stream via content-recognition revenue sharing models, comparable to those used successfully by YouTube. In addition, networks and apps deliver better user experiences by making available a soundtrack solution that avoids videos from being blocked due to music copyright restrictions.
Artists and record labels also gain new online revenue streams to increase their income, and artists have new ways to connect with their fan base and promote their music. In addition, consumers uploading their videos to websites or apps that use the closed-loop verification system are now able to add soundtracks from their favorite artists and avoid having their videos blocked.
The licensing process is simplified through the first-ever closed-loop license verification system enabled through the partnership. Once a video is uploaded to an authorized site or application, the video is scanned for any known music from Audible Magic's database of over 15 million tracks. Videos with licensed soundtracks can be uploaded to authorized sites without restriction. When a track is identified but not licensed, the video will not be uploaded to the site and the user is given options to license an alternative soundtrack for their video. End users can find legal soundtracks to add to their projects at FriendlyMusic.com, or from a host of Rumblefish partners including Animoto, Socialcam, Klip, Pixorial and others. This process removes hurdles that before caused online videos to be blocked or removed immediately from social networking sites.
"The Rumblefish and Audible Magic technologies complement one another perfectly, and when combined, allow customers of both companies to have the most robust music licensing platform built into their video networks," said Vance Ikezoye, President and CEO of Audible Magic. "This platform is a true win-win-win -- for the consumer, for artists and labels, and for video networks."
"Music rights have been the Achilles heel of social video, upsetting users and devaluing otherwise monetizeable video inventory. That's why we consider this a defining partnership, creating an end-to-end music licensing platform and significant revenue opportunity for all social video networks, apps, artists and labels," said Paul Anthony, founder and CEO of Rumblefish. "License verification allows end-users of apps like Socialcam or Klip to add a licensed soundtrack to their video and upload that video to a network such as Facebook or MySpace. The network, instead of being forced to block videos, will use the platform to verify soundtracks and allow video uploads to the network instantly. Everybody wins."
About Rumblefish
Rumblefish is the largest provider of soundtracks for social video and has been a pioneer in the music licensing industry for over a decade. Through its API, SDK and Storefront offerings, the platform allows partners to offer soundtrack functionality for web and mobile applications, and provides access to the world's largest copyright-cleared soundtrack catalog of more than one million tracks. The company makes soundtracks for online social video easy and legal, and has issued more than seven million licenses, paying millions in royalties to its artists. Rumblefish partners include YouTube, Animoto, Socialcam, Virtual Active, Klip and Google. The company can be found at www.rumblefish.com and is headquartered in Portland, OR.

The Industrial Internet revolution is now underway, enabled by connected machines and billions of devices that communicate and collaborate. The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads.

The Light Roller: DRS, bad light and James Anderson's need to take top-order wicketa
The diary of a cricket obsessive
Will Gore
Will Gore is Deputy Managing Editor of The Independent, i, Independent on Sunday and the London Evening Standard. He was formerly Director of External & Public Affairs at the Press Complaints Commission.
Tuesday 06 August 2013
What will potential
new fans make of the vagaries of cricketing technology?
Well hurrah! The Ashes will remain in English hands until next year at least, which is obviously marvellous. But even though the outcome of the match will be celebrated by all those who remember when rain-affected draws were the highlight of a home series, it cannot be said to have been a wholly satisfactory Test.
Rain in Manchester is hardly likely to pop up with Cilla Black on Surprise, Surprise but in this hot summer, it was still something of a shock to see the weather play such a key part at Old Trafford. With controversy over the Decision Review System reaching new peaks, it was hard not to feel that there were too many variables over which none of the players had any control.
Most importantly, seeing players troop off under bright floodlights or hold their breath as they await the vagaries of DRS isn't the way to encourage new fans.
Anderson may be the king of the swingers but he could do with knocking over Australia's top six
Rain and result aside, it was a good Test for Australia. They are still too reliant on Michael Clarke but there were genuine contributions from more or less every member of the team. England, by contrast, were suddenly uncertain. The top order looked rattled and the bowling was at times innocuous.
Most of the discussion around England's attack centres on the identity of the third seamer but are the opening pair beyond debate? Stuart Broad looks tasty with the bat and stale with the ball - but he's bound to bag a big haul at some point; he always does.
Jimmy Anderson, meanwhile, now has the kind of career record that can't be faulted. But it's also notable that only a third of his 15 wickets in this series have been top-six batsmen. Just saying.
England's Ashes heroes of 2005 are still getting stuck into the Aussies
One of England's 2005 Ashes heroes, Matthew Hoggard, renewed rivalries with former Aussie stalwart Simon Katich as Leicestershire took on Lancashire in the Championship's second division last Friday. Hoggard won the personal battle by dismissing Katich in Lancashire's first innings - but only after he had scored 64, setting Lancs well on the road to victory.
Simon Jones also made a rare appearance last week - for Glamorgan in a T20 game against Gloucestershire. Sadly, he came up against two rather less-heralded Australians in Michael Klinger and Dan Christian, who tonked Jones and co round the park for a nine-wicket win. But at least he has made it back on the park. By contrast, Steve Harmison was awarded a benefit by Durham this year but hasn't played a first team game.
With Freddie Flintoff somewhere between the boxing ring and the commentary box, it appears that Ashley Giles - arguably the least naturally talented of England's 2005 bowling unit - could teach his compadres a thing or two about life after the Ashes.
The perversity of English amateur cricket
As England looked hopefully to the heavens for the shower that would, confusingly, signal an early bath, it brought to mind those strange individuals who inhabit every amateur team and who express utter delight at the prospect of a game being rained off.
They are normally the ones who get stroppy at an unjust umpiring decision. They are also the same players who are almost always playing with some minor pain or injury. And at the first sign of rain, they'll make it abundantly clear that an early cancellation would be vastly preferable - presumably so they can go and annoy the other people in their lives.
Does this happen in football? Rugby? I can't believe it does. Only amateur cricketers are perverse enough to volunteer to play, pay for the privilege, take the whole enterprise with excessive seriousness; then announce to the rest of the team that they'd rather be somewhere else.

Court rules against state in health benefits caseAugust 21, 2014 @ 10:52 am
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -- The state Supreme Court has upheld a lower court's ruling that says that damages to be paid to part-time state employees who were wrongfully denied health benefits has to take into account more than just actual out-of-pocket costs.
The high court on Thursday ruled unanimously in favor of a class action group's stance on such damages, and rejected the Health Care Authority's argument that the state should only pay for actual costs paid by class members during the time they were denied benefits.
The King County Superior Court ruling found in favor of the plaintiffs in December 2012, but held off on ruling on an award because of questions that remained, including about the size of the class. The case now heads back to King County.

The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the global trade association for shipowners, has written to the French Government to raise concerns about a new requirement for foreign shipowners to provide information to their French customers about CO2 emissions, using a detailed methodology that has not been discussed internationally.
ICS believes that the unilateral application by France of these new CO2 reporting requirements to foreign ships cuts across the principles of global regulatory uniformity and the primacy of IMO as the regulator of international shipping.
The new and very detailed rules that have been added to the French Transport Code apply across all transport modes, although the Director General for Maritime Transport is responsible for their enforcement in the maritime sector.
ICS has therefore suggested that the Director General for Maritime Transport should advise that these requirements will not be enforced on international shipping pending the outcome of discussions on the monitoring and reporting of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions currently taking place at the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee is now in the process of developing global regulations for the mandatory monitoring and reporting of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by ships trading internationally. ICS fully supports the development of these measures at IMO and wishes to avoid any impediment to their adoption for global application.
Simon Bennett, ICS Director External Relations, explained, "We anticipate that the methodology for reporting that will be agreed by IMO Member States through amendments to the MARPOL Convention will be very different to the methodology specified by the new French requirements. The IMO requirements should also be tailored to the special characteristics of international shipping, and will be the product of international consensus. The immediate implementation of these French regulations is a real concern because shipping is a global industry requiring adherence by governments to a uniform global regulatory framework if it is to operate efficiently."
ICS has reminded France of the difficulties that would be created if other coastal states were to implement their own unilateral requirements for the reporting of CO2 emissions by ships.
Mr. Bennett added, "The global maritime transport system would be very challenged indeed by the administrative burden of providing information that required the use of different methodologies and national formats for reporting given that cargo ships can call at a very large number of countries during the course of a year."
Shipping companies are still trying to understand the detail of the new CO2 reporting requirements, the English translation of which has only recently come to the attention of the global shipping industry. But serious concerns are already being raised by international companies about the validity of the methodologies that have been developed by France, as set out in the 'Methodological Guide for Transport Services' produced by the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy.
The development of a global system for the monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions from ships will be considered by the next meeting of the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee in March 2014. It is also the subject of a draft EU Regulation proposed by the European Commission.
Article L. 1431-3 of the French Transport Code came into effect for foreign shipping companies in October.
