Most Asian Stocks Fall on Japan GDP Data; Yen, Copper Advance
Most Asian stocks fell while the yen strengthened after Japan's economy expanded more slowly than economists had estimated, curbing demand for higher-yielding assets. Copper led an advance in industrial metals.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index was little changed at 117.83 as of 4:04 p.m. in Tokyo, recovering from a three-week low after Chinese shares surged the most this month. Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 0.3 percent, while those for the Euro Stoxx 50 Index added 0.2 percent. The yen advanced against most of its major counterparts while the won and ringgit weakened. Copper gained after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. recommended invest in raw materials.
Japan's gross domestic product expanded at an annualized 0.4 percent rate in the three months to June 30, the Cabinet Office said today, lower than all economist estimates gathered by Bloomberg News. National Strategy Minister Satoshi Arai said the government needs to work with the central bank to tackle gains in the yen that risk derailing Japan's export-led recovery.
"The outlook for economies worldwide is getting worse," said Masanobu Ishikawa, general manager of foreign exchange at Tokyo Forex & Ueda Harlow Ltd., Japan's largest currency broker. "Equities are sliding, with risk aversion prevailing and the yen and the dollar being bought."
About five stocks declined for every four that advanced in the MSCI Asia Pacific, which earlier touched the lowest since July 22. Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average dropped 0.6 percent, closing at a six-week low, and South Korea's Kospi index slipped 0.2 percent.
China's Shanghai Composite Index gained 2.1 percent, the most since July 28, as higher commodity-freight rates boosted shipping companies and rising power demand drove energy producers higher.
Sony, BHP
Sony Corp., which gets 22 percent of sales in the U.S., sank 3 percent, while Honda Motor Co., which generates more than 80 percent of its revenue abroad, retreated 0.9 percent in Tokyo. BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's largest mining company, dropped 1 percent.
"Risk sentiment is weakening on increasing concerns about global growth," said Kazumasa Yamaoka, a senior analyst at investment advisory company GCI Capital Co. in Tokyo.
Hong Kong developers declined after the city tightened mortgage lending rules and said it would boost land supply to cool land prices. Sino Land Co., the worst performer on the Hang Seng Property Index this month, lost 2.3 percent. Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd., Hong Kong's biggest developer, plunged 3.9 percent.
China Cosco Holdings Co., the world's largest operator of dry-bulk ships, jumped by the 10 percent daily limit as the Baltic Dry Index gained for a seventh day. China Shenhua Energy Co., the nation's largest coal producer, rose 5.4 percent as the company stepped up output amid increasing power consumption.
'Soft Landing'
"There's a low possibility that China's economy will have a double-dip and a soft landing is very likely," said Dai Ming, a fund manager at Shanghai Kingsun Investment Management & Consulting Co. "That'll provide support for a continuing stocks rebound."
Health-care stocks also gained, led by Hualan Biological Engineering Inc.'s 5.1 percent advance, on speculation the government will boost industry spending.
Zhongjin Gold Corp., the second-largest bullion producer, advanced 0.6 percent, after earlier jumping 5.1 percent, as prices for the precious metal increased for a third day. Gold for immediate delivery added 0.3 percent to $1,219.05 an ounce.
"The wilting global economy is bringing investors back to the gold market," said Park Hyun Seon, a Seoul-based trader with Eugene Investment & Futures Co.
Intervention Prospects
The yen rose to 85.94 per dollar in Tokyo from 86.20 in New York on Aug. 13. It reached 84.73 on Aug. 11, the strongest since July 1995. Japan's currency reversed early gains against the euro, trading at 110.19 against the common currency from 109.92 last week. The dollar fell to $1.2823 per euro from $1.2754 in New York when it reached $1.2750, the strongest since July 22.
"There is a chance the yen will reach an all-time high and stay at that level for the time being," Eisuke Sakakibara, formerly Japan's top currency official, said yesterday on the Fuji television network. The yen peaked at 79.75 per dollar in April 1995.
Lawmakers from Japan's ruling party last week urged Prime Minister Naoto Kan to consider intervening in the currency market, and for the Bank of Japan to "engage in large-scale monetary easing."
Won Slips
"Speculation about possible policy action in Japan will make it difficult to test further upside of the yen for now," said Tomohiro Nishida, a Tokyo-based foreign-currency dealer at Chuo Mitsui Trust & Banking Co.
The yen typically strengthens in times of financial and economic turmoil because Japan's trade surplus frees the nation from dependence on overseas capital.
South Korea's won dropped 0.3 percent to 1,187.30 per dollar and Malaysia's ringgit fell 0.3 percent to 3.1785. Overseas investors trimmed their holdings of Korean shares for a fourth day. The Bank of Korea last week held off from adding to July's interest-rate increase, citing concern about slowing growth in the leading economies of the world.
"Weakness in Japan, a major pillar of the world economy, is quickening demand for safer assets," said Yun Se Min, a currency dealer at Busan Bank in Seoul. "That may mean more demand for U.S. dollars and less for the Korean won."
Copper, Oil
Copper for three-month delivery advanced as much as 1.3 percent to $7,250.25 per metric ton in London. Prices for zinc, nickel and lead also rose. Crude oil rose from the lowest in a month, climbing as much as 0.7 percent to $75.95 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Goldman Sachs said demand from emerging markets and limited growth in supplies will help to support raw-materials prices. The bank reiterated an "overweight" recommendation on commodities, analysts led by Allison Nathan and Jeffrey Currie wrote in a report, recommending crude oil, gold, copper, zinc and platinum.

I am considering getting a NAS for home use (file hosting & media hosting (1080p) to ~ 3 devices simultaneously). I would like to set up 4 drives with RAID 0+1 and am wondering whether to buy a 4 bay NAS like the QNAP TS-419 P+ or the cheaper solution of buying a 2 bay NAS like the QNAP TS-219 P+ and add on a 4 bay expansion via eSata such as this. As the 2 bay + expansion is cheaper and you get 2 extra bays.
The eSATA extender's description says:
So apparently this mode of operation that you want is fully supported. Now, I believe your network will be a bottleneck and not eSATA, so I don't think you'll get any performance degradation. This is of course assuming that the NAS box is sane and its eSATA port is as fast as its internal SATA ports, etc.
However, you're getting two boxes instead of one. Twice the amount of things to go wrong, etc. So it will be less reliable. But I think it will be just as fast for you.

A Jennings County man received a 12-year sentence after pleading guilty to dealing in methamphetamine.
Jackson Circuit Judge Richard W. Poynter sentenced Travis A. Barnes, 46, of North Vernon, to spend the first six years of that term in prison and two more years on home detention supervised by officers with the Jackson Jennings Community Corrections program.
Poynter suspended the remaining four years of the sentence and ordered Barnes to spend that time on supervised probation.

My question is this. Is it more powerful to have entity object just for queries ("head" - with Title, Price, City) and another entity object to all extra unindexed details? Or is it ok to have all this in one entity object and just tag other properties as unindexed?

Kansas Senator Pat Roberts will serve on the panel working to resolve differences in the farm bills approved by the U.S. House and Senate.
"As a conferee, I will continue to work to protect direct payments, the only commodity title program that provides direct assistance to producers when they have no crop to harvest," Roberts said in a statement. "I am also going to work to ensure that the crop insurance program remains intact as a solid program that our producers and their lenders can count on. Furthermore, I will continue to work for opportunities that allow our livestock producers to effectively market their products. I am ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work."
Each congressional chamber passed a version of the five-year
farm bill last year, but a final version has been stalled over a
veto threat from the White House.
The Bush administration opposes tax provisions intended to boost
revenues for farm programs. The White House also wants a final bill to ban subsidies to farmers whose gross income averages more than $200,000 a year.

Hi, Matt Miller from Microsoft's Security Science team here to talk about exploitation & mitigation.
Over the past decade exploitation techniques have been developed and refined to the point that very little expertise has been needed to successfully exploit software vulnerabilities. These refinements have lowered the bar for attackers and drastically increased the probability that an attack will be successful. This has led to the need for mitigation techniques that can prevent or otherwise reduce the reliability of a given exploitation technique. In relation to one another, we can think about exploitation techniques as attempting to drive the probability of successful exploitation to 100%, whereas mitigation techniques attempt to drive the same probability to zero. While probability gives us a nice measure for the effectiveness of a mitigation technique, it doesn't give us immediate insight into the specific problems being solved by mitigations or the techniques that are being used to solve those problems.
Understanding the problems that are solved by mitigations is what provided the motivation for the presentation I will be giving at BlueHat. Many of the materials in this presentation were taken from my work with Leviathan Security Group and have been repurposed to focus on taking attendees on a journey through the technical evolution of the mitigation techniques developed by Microsoft. This evolution is illustrated in terms of the problems each mitigation technique is attempting to solve, the methods used to solve them, and how well each mitigation has stood the test of time thus far. The journey itself starts first with /GS and ends with a glimpse of the mitigation techniques we might expect to see in the future.
It is my hope that this presentation will illustrate that mitigations, when working in concert with one another, can be an effective method of helping to keep users secure by reducing the probability of a successful exploitation attempt for the majority of known exploitation techniques.

Viacom Inc., the media conglomerate that owns CBS and MTV, said Tuesday that its board had unanimously approved a plan to split the company into two separate entities, one focusing on broadcast television and the other on cable networks.
Viacom said the split will occur in the first quarter of 2006. Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone will be chairman and controlling shareholder of the companies, which will both be based in New York.
The company said the separation will be made through a tax-free spin-off, meaning that holders of Viacom shares will receive shares of a new company called CBS Corp., which will include the CBS and UPN networks, a group of TV stations as well as a major radio and outdoor advertising group.
The new CBS company will be led by Les Moonves, the current head of CBS and co-president of Viacom. To be called the CBS Corporation, it will combine the CBS and UPN broadcast networks, Viacom Television Stations Group, Infinity Broadcasting, Viacom Outdoor, as well as Showtime, Simon & Schuster and Paramount Parks. CBSNews.com will also fall under the CBS Corporation umbrella.
The other company, which will retain the Viacom name, will include MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, BET and several other cable networks as well as the Paramount movie studio. That company will be led by Tom Freston, the longtime chief of MTV and a co-president of Viacom.
"The decision to create two new companies was the result of intense study by the board, which worked closely with the company's management and carefully analyzed all strategic options before reaching its conclusion," Redstone said in a statement released by the company.
Redstone added that the Board has formed a special committee, which he will chair, that will assist and monitor the process of creating the two companies.
Viacom had announced in March that it was considering a plan to split itself into two companies, saying it wanted to allow investors to value its array of companies separately.

Hey there,
Is there a way to change the default text that appears in a drop down menu?
Right now, it just says, "Select"
How can I change that to say "Select One:" or something else?
Hey there,
Is there a way to change the default text that appears in a drop down menu?
Right now, it just says, "Select"
How can I change that to say "Select One:" or something else?
The first option of a select field type can be in brackets to indicate that it must be selected,
example: Color:,[Please select];Red;Green;Blue
Let me try to be clearer about my question--
When I create a drop-down menu, the default text says "Select"
Can I change that default text? If so, how?
Putting [Please select] in brackets next to one of my drop-down options doesn't change the initial default drop-down menu text.
Please reply with a link to your form
Also what web browser are you using?
Here's the link: http://thefanconnection.net/contact-us/
I'm using Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer.
I'm following up on this topic.
Is there any way to change the default "Select" text that automatically appears in a contact form's drop down menu to something else, like "Select One:"?
Sorry for the delay. On the form edit page is a label setting you can change.
Help page:
Look for these two labels, of you add a new label, it replaces the default text.
Department to Contact:
Mattcoff Hello, this is the solution!
You can create a new pulldown menu, because you installed a plugin on your WordPress site. In my case, I installed the plugin: "advanced menu widget".
1) Search into your WordPress installation folder, and found the folder of your plugin. In my case:
wp-content> plugins> advanced-menu-widget
2) Edit the file: wp-content-widget.php
3) Look up the word "Select" and Replace with the word you want. In my case "more info".
4) Save and enjoy!
You replied to an 8 month old topic that was already resolved. I am marking it resolved.
I'm so sorry. But the answer you gave, solved the problem in the contact form's drop down menu, but did not solve the problem for other additional menu created within a WordPress page made with the plugin: Advanced Menu Widget. I think if Mattcof asked: "Is there a way to change the default text That appears in a drop down menu?" Does not mean that the problem was occurring in a Contact Form.
In any case, I think the proposed solution could help others as it helped me with my problem.
Best Regards from Caracas Venezuela

text: The re-imagining of fictional characters as a literary trope has given us startling new perspectives on a host of supporting players. For instance, as protagonist in Wide Sargasso Sea, Antoinette trumps her successor, Jane Eyre, as a sensitive woman buffeted by circumstance and convention. Now Scheherazade takes her own sinuous turn in the spotlight in the pages of Nélida Piñon?s seductive and accomplished Voices of the Desert. Scheherazade?s tales of romance, adventure, and intrigue have captivated imaginations for centuries, but not much is known about the woman behind those thousand and one nights of storytelling. Piñon deftly lifts this veil of obscurity and presents a portrait of a gifted young girl whose generosity will birth legends. As the privileged daughter of one of the Caliph?s most trusted advisors, Scheherazade witnesses the incredible cruelty of the cuckolded ruler firsthand as he exacts revenge on his cheating wife by killing her, as well as an ensuing daily succession of young virgins brought to his bed. Determined to save more girls from this fate, Scheherazade bets on the power of her stories and offers herself next. Though the caliph is incapable of love, he?s mesmerized by the silken whispers of Scheherazade that command the voices of slaves, genies, nomads, and thieves. This, coupled with dramatic descriptions of Baghdad?s bazaars, the desert, and the world beyond, allows the caliph to experience and understand his realm, its subjects, and, ultimately, himself — without ever leaving the palace. Piñon's hypnotic prose employs the repetition and cadence of storytellers in the oral tradition. By peeling back layer after layer of Scheherazade?s psyche, Voices of the Desert transcends the social landscape of 13th-century Persia to reveal timeless lessons about the tensile strength of the human heart and the art of soulful narrative.

Nicholas Sparks's new novel, "Safe Haven," goes on sale Sept. 14, and it will be getting a promotional push from an unusual partner: a Hollywood movie maker.
Relativity Media, the company behind "Evan Almighty" and "Mamma Mia!," bought the rights to adapt the novel and hopes to release the film late next year. Relativity also produced "Dear John," based on Mr. Sparks's novel of the same name, which was one of its most profitable films yet.
At a time when marketing dollars are hard to come by in the book business, Relativity Media will launch online and print promotions for the novel, even though there isn't even a screenplay yet. Mr. Sparks is one of the rare authors whose publishers advertise their new works on TV, but the additional Hollywood push prior to publication appears to be a first.
"I don't know that this has ever been done before," Mr. Sparks said. "It's a way for Relativity Media to get out in front in marketing the film, and to build interest and familiarity in the project."
Mr. Sparks is one of the country's most popular novelists. His books typically have over 2.5 million copies in print. When there's a movie involved—Mr. Sparks has had six films made, with a seventh in production—those numbers can double, as book sales get a lift from the blitz of marketing for the film.
"Safe Haven," a love story with thriller elements set in a small town in North Carolina, is a bit of a departure from Mr. Sparks's traditional romantic dramas, with considerably more action scenes.
"His success hasn't abated even in these hard times, and the movies have been a big part of that," said Jamie Raab, head of Grand Central Publishing, a unit of Lagardere SCA's Hachette Book Group, Mr. Sparks's publisher. She said that "Safe Haven" will have a hardcover print run of more than one million copies.
Howard Sanders, a partner in the United Talent Agency who has represented Mr. Sparks on the film side for more than a decade, said he specified that the company that acquired the film rights to "Safe Haven" would have to commit to a marketing campaign for the book.
"We wanted the film side to acknowledge Nicholas is a best-selling author and to bring the expertise of movie marketing to support the publishing side," he said. United Talent has represented articles published in The Wall Street Journal to the film industry.
One veteran agent said he thought Relativity's investment made sense. "I don't know that I've heard of a film company doing this so far in advance of the movie, but relative to the budget of a Hollywood film, buying some ads and doing an online campaign is a minor investment," said Ira Silverberg, with Sterling Lord Literistic.
Richard Pine, another agent, said, "It's smart to start early. Also, they are so confident that the movie is getting made that it's worth their advertising dollars to start now."
Typically, movies are promoted most aggressively in the six-week period leading up to their opening, with blanket television advertising intended to saturate specific markets. Relativity has championed an approach that stresses building online social communities, to engage audiences early in the process. It says it can apply the same approach to publishing.
"The social community has evolved to the point where audiences want to be engaged, not just sold to," said Randall Cox, who oversees Relativity's digital properties.
In the case of Mr. Sparks, Relativity intends to take advantage of his deep fan base by creating a social community around "Safe Haven." The theory is that if Mr. Sparks's readers become involved early on, they are likelier to become a fan of his works in the movie arena.
Strategies include hosting a variety of interactive experiences and contests. Prizes may include a walk-on role in the movie version of "Safe Haven" and a meet-and-greet with Mr. Sparks during production. Fans will also be consulted on their opinions for casting the movie.
Relativity built a Facebook community for "Dear John" with more than two million fans. Those users, Mr. Cox said, probably will want to know more about "Safe Haven." Relativity and Grand Central will be collaborating on a single Facebook page for the new book.
Part of Mr. Sparks's fan appeal is that he is dedicated to touring, where he often signs books for thousands of customers at a sitting. Mr. Cox said Relativity intended to send a videographer on tour to look for fans with unusual stories related to Mr. Sparks.
Those videos will then be posted on websites owned by Relativity, Google Inc.'s YouTube.com and other sites, in hopes that users will engage with the videos and leave comments.
The opportunity to engage with fans in real time didn't exist a decade ago. "Every video is a call to action," Mr. Cox said.
Other promotional efforts include a full-page advertisement in Us Weekly and Entertainment Weekly magazines, according to a Relativity company spokeswoman.
Will consumers remember the book by the time the movie rolls out, in the fall of next year at the earliest?
Tucker Tooley, Relativity's president of world-wide production, says it's impossible to be 100% certain, but he thinks he can stack the odds in the project's favor.
"We want to get Nicholas's fans invested in the film early," Mr. Tooley said, "and we want to keep them invested through the film's release."

Robert Redford hopes for a Paris Hilton-free Sundance
What do T.S. Eliot and Paris Hilton have in common? Robert Redford invoked both today at a press conference that officially kicked off the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, which runs Jan. 21-30 here in Park City, Utah.
"With this year's festival, I'm reminded that there's a poem that I'm always fond of by T.S. Eliot," said Redford, Sundance's founder, before launching into Eliot's "Little Giddings": "We will not cease from exploration/and the end of all our exploring/will be to arrive where we started." "We're going back to our roots with fresh new ideas and fresh new voices and that's really the thrust of our festival this year," Redford told reporters gathered at the Egyptian Theater on Main Street, the site of the first Sundance Film Festival in 1981.
To that end, Redford and Sundance director John Cooper, who took over that role from longtime director Geoff Gilmore earlier this year, touted a return to low-budget pictures and documentaries from all over the globe. "World cinema has been high on our list," Cooper said. "We have 41 countries represented. Estonia and Greenland were never at the festival before."
As far as how the more than 100 films screened here are selected, Cooper joked, "It turns into a big blood bath of arguments," between him and the other programmers. "We know each other very well and how to judge each other's passions." (For a list of movies the Hitfix staff is passionate about, see here).
Redford, who had a cast on his right arm, has always had a soft spot for documentaries, but he said their importance continues to grow. "By expanding the venue for documentaries to be seen, you can move into areas vacated by the news media. Where are people going to get the truth? It's starting to get confusing with the bloggers and the yada, yada, yada. We bring in documentaries from other countries where filmmakers risk their lives. There's a truth that's verifiable. Our commitment [going forward] will be to look to how we can create opportunities for them."
As Sundance approaches its 30th birthday, Redford confessed that he never expected the festival to survive past 10 years. As events age, "people get afraid of taking chances," he said. "I assumed we wouldn't last more than 10 years. When we cease to provide a benefit to independent filmmakers we shouldn't stick around, but as long as we [could], we should keep going." He added that he takes the festival's temperature every year and that over the last few years, he'd felt, "we were sliding," in part due to the hijacking of the festival by "ambush marketers who took over Main Street and the houses in the mountains, at three or four times [the normal price] to hand out their swag. You end up with Paris Hilton here who had nothing to do with us." Redford has trotted out Hilton as the poster child of the over commercialization of Sundance by brand names hoping to capitalize on Sundance's reputation. "There's nothing we do about that, but it kind of engulfed what we did. Now with the economy, these people can't come back or I hope they don't come."
Among this year's slate of films is "8: The Mormon Proposition," a documentary by Reed Cowan, a former Mormon missionary, about the Mormons' fight against gay rights including the Church's involvement in the passage of California's Prop 8. Clearly, in Utah, this movie has raised a ruckus, but Redford denied any political leanings by the festival. "It's up to the audience to decide about it. The criteria is is the work interesting?…we don't take a side politically. I may personally, but not the festival."
The Prop 8 controversy arose last year surrounding public screenings at the Holiday Theaters 1-3 local multiplex here because the owners contributed to the Yes on Prop 8 campaign, causing many political activists to ask the festival to disassociate the festival from the multiplex, which the festival declined to do. This year, there are no public screenings at the Holiday, although the festival continues to use it for press and industry screenings this year.
On a lighter note, also showing this year is "Smash His Camera," a documentary about Ron Galella, the first true paparazzo. Redford was asked about that selection since he and Galella had a 30-year relationship of the cameraman chasing the elusive star. Redford responded with a long, winding story about how he pulled a fast one when Galella tried to shoot him while Redford was filming "Three Days of the Condor." Redford hasn't seen "Smash His Camera."

Los Angeles -- Josh Shipp had 28 points Saturday to lead 20th-ranked UCLA to a 94-68 win over Oregon that kept the Bruins in the Pac-10 regular-season race, if only briefly.
UCLA (24-7, 13-5 Pac-10) needed unranked Washington State to upset No. 13 Washington to earn a share of its fourth straight conference, but the Washington Huskies beat their in-state rival Cougars 67-60 Saturday to wrap up their first outright Pac-10 title.
Darren Collison had 19 points for UCLA, which closed out its regular season with four straight wins.
Drew Wiley had 18 points and LeKendric Longmire 15 for the Ducks (8-22, 2-16), who lost their final two games of the regular season and finished in last place in the conference.

Berkeley, Calif. -- Darren Collison had 22 points and No. 19 UCLA took sole possession of second place in the Pac-10 Saturday night with a 72-68 victory over California.
Josh Shipp, Nikola Dragovic and Alfred Aboya had 12 points apiece, while Aboya grabbed nine rebounds and Dragovic added seven boards for the Bruins (22-7, 11-5 Pac-10).
Jerome Randle finished with 20 points and eight assists, while Patrick Christopher had 16 points and Theo Robertson scored 14 for the Golden Bears (21-8, 10-6).
The Bruins went on a 13-0 second-half spree -- highlighted by a pair of 3-pointers by Dragovic and a 3-point play by Collison -- to come back from a 53-49 disadvantage. Cal got within three points when Randle nailed a 3-pointer with 16.1 seconds left, but the Golden Bears could not score after that.
Stanford, Calif. -- Alfred Aboya made two free throws with 13 seconds to play Thursday that wrapped up No. 19 UCLA's tougher-than-expected 76-71 win over Stanford.
Stanford is in next-to-last place in the Pacific-10 Conference and has lost five of its last six, but the Cardinal carried the Bruins to the wire.
Aboya's two foul shots gave UCLA a four-point advantage and boosted the struggling Bruins to their second victory in five outings.
Josh Shipp led UCLA (21-7, 10-5 Pac-10) with 24 points, hitting 9-of-12 shots from the field. Aboya had 18.
Over the past two weekends, UCLA had fallen victim to Arizona, Arizona State and Washington State.
Stanford (15-11, 4-11) got 18 points off the bench from Anthony Goods.

Los Angeles -- Josh Shipp scored 20 points Thursday and No. 15 UCLA used a late 6-0 run to pull away for a crucial 85-76 victory over 19th-ranked Washington.
The Bruins owned only a two-point lead when they ran off the six consecutive points. That run ended with Darren Collison hitting two free throws that gave UCLA a 77-69 lead with 1:41 to play.
Washington's fate was sealed when, trailing by six, the Huskies' Jon Brockman missed two foul shots with 41 seconds remaining.
The result further tightened the Pacific-10 Conference race. Washington now holds a half game lead over UCLA, California and Arizona State.
Collison added 17 for the Bruins (20-6, 9-4 Pac-10). They hit eight 3-point shots and missed just three times in 18 trips to the line.

Hundreds of grieving Venezuelans gathered in front of the hospital where their leader Hugo Chavez died on Tuesday, weeping and chanting "We are all Chavez!" after he lost his battle to cancer.
Some waved Venezuelan flags while others held signs reading "People, Chavez and revolution, the battle continues," and chanted "Chavez lives!" as soldiers guarded the building where the socialist leader died at the age of 58.
"We feel that the father of our fatherland and many nations has just physically left us," said Francis Izquierdo, a 40-year-old municipal worker.
"He was a man who taught us to love our fatherland. The comandante is physically gone but he remains in our hearts and we must continue building the fatherland," he said with tears in his eyes.
"It was his deepest wish that we do not stop the revolution."
As the country began seven days of national mourning, Ariani Rodriguez -- a teacher holding a sign reading "I am Chavez" -- said: "My heart is broken as if a father or son had died."
"The comandante is gone physically, but his thoughts and his leadership remain with us," she said, among a crowd wearing the late leader's trademark red color and hats issued by his socialist PSUV party.
People assembled in public squares in the capital and other states, singing the national anthem, wiping away tears and holding pictures of the leader who forged a near-mystical bond with the country's poor.
"He shouldn't have died. He was the best president Venezuela ever had," said Frank Aponte, 45, a bricklayer overtaken by grief on a Caracas street. "I will go where they lie him in state, even if I have to stand in line for two days."
The government announced that the former paratrooper colonel will lie in wake at a military academy from Wednesday until a memorial service with foreign leaders on Friday.
But grief gave way to some anger as a group of 50 university students who had been staging an anti-Chavez sit-in in the middle of a Caracas street for a week said they had to run away when his supporters came after them.
The students had been chained to each other for eight days to demand the government to reveal more about the president's condition.
"There were a lot of them and we immediately ran for our lives," Machado told AFP by telephone, adding that the group burned their foam mattresses and protest signs.
Machado said the government should "follow the constitution and hold elections."
The constitution says elections must be held within 30 days if the president dies, but the government had yet to announce a date.

they need to really increase the xp you get for completing the task.
i just played for the first time over the weekend, and there were many (many) games that I seemed like i was the only one on my team going for the objective.
the first time I played the game type where you have to get the "case" and carry it to the circle, i was the only one on my team going for it.
remember this is the 1st time im playing it so at start i wasnt sure what was happening. highlighted the object went to it, even the other team wasnt going for it. i picked it up and started walking to the circle. of course now i died. on spawn, i found my teamates on a bridge waiting. waiting for what, i dont know?
another game, i had to had put the case in the circle 5 times with no teamates around to protect me. i know i get 200 xp for starting the process, that needs to be more 2x or 3x more. maybe that will get more ppl going for it.
also, they need to boost the pistol when you carrying the case. you cant seem to kill anyone with it.
probably wait for the next xp event to continue mp.

Tenoroc Coach Davidson Wins Crying Towel
Published: Saturday, August 9, 2014 at 1:19 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 9, 2014 at 1:19 a.m.
LAKELAND | Maybe a cry will be worth a cheer for Tenoroc.
After winning the Crying Towel at the Lakeland Lions Club's 44th annual Football Kickoff Dinner, first-year Tenoroc coach Chris Davidson held the towel high in the air with his right hand.
"The last time Tenoroc won the crying towel, it won a game," he proclaimed triumphantly.
Davidson, who takes over a 0-10 team, got into the night's festivities by telling the audience how misinformed he was on what was expected from him at the event.
"I was told it was the Tenoroc towel lifetime achievement award," he said. "I was told I was supposed give a profanity-laced speech. I was told I was supposed to give a speech with lots of inside jokes. So I'm not really prepared. I'm winging it."
Davidson didn't make jokes about his team, however.
"It's hard for me to make jokes about Tenoroc, because we've been a joke for six years," he said.
Davidson, who was the golf coach at Tenoroc, also talked about why he returned to being a football coach after not liking what he saw in the one game he went to last year.
"I thought the kids deserved better," he said. "Everything I am is because of football. Those kids deserve better, and we're trying to give it to them."
Davidson's remark about a profanity-laden speech was a jab at George Jenkins coach Richard Tate, whom he beat out for towel.
Last year, Tate's remarks at the events drew some complaints because of foul language.
Tate began the night by apologizing.
"When you put football coaches together with free beer, I don't know what you'd expect was going to happen," he said.
Tate was in strong form with one-liners about his 2-8 team from last year.
"We lost 22 seniors (from last year's team), so that's a blessing," he said. "We were helped some more when some players over the summer decided not to come back. I wish Wayne was here so he could talk about the other half of my team."
Tate was referring to Lakeland Christian coach Wayne Peace.
Lake Gibson coach Keith DeMyer was introduced as having the team with the best talent.
"I don't know why that's being said," DeMyer said. "They don't have a clue. None of those people have been to our practice. If they'd gone to our practice, they'd leave shaking their head."
Other coaches at the event included Victory Christian's Tommy Lewis and Kathleen's Irving Strickland, who took a shot at his own coaching staff.
"You're able to tell who my staff is," he said. "They're all still at the bar."
Lakeland athletic director Justin Troller stood in for Bill Castle, who was holding a night practice with his team. Troller also took a couple of jabs at Lakeland Christian as four former Dreadnaughts have transferred to LCS.
"We're so bad, the coaches didn't show up," he said. "It's a good thing because Coach Peace might have taken them too."
Earlier in the evening, The Lions Club awarded Victory Christian grad Kevin Coy with a $1,500 scholarship. Coy is now attending Chadron State in Nebraska.
