Cooper Cronk also touched down as Australia underlined their dominance of the code and gained revenge for their 2008 final defeat when New Zealand fought back from 16-12 down to win 34-20 and claim their first world title.
Australia led 16-2 at the break but any hopes of another Kiwi fightback were extinguished immediately after the restart when Slater scampered away for his second try.
Their victory was built on the back of quick work around the ruck and precision kicking which allowed the Kangaroos to dominate territory and possession.
A ferocious defensive effort meant New Zealand barely had a sniff of crossing the line at Old Trafford, and by holding them tryless it meant Australia did not concede a four-pointer in the tournament since their opening victory over England.
"I am extremely proud," Australia coach Tim Sheens told the BBC.
"We came over in front of a great crowd and performed really well. Our defence was great and our attitude was terrific.
"We didn't start the game thinking that (hold New Zealand tryless) but with 20 minutes to go we did and to their credit they really dug in."
After an early penalty to Johnathan Thurston New Zealand suffered a blow when Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, who scored twice in the semi-final and eight times in the tournament, was forced to leave the field with a recurrence of the shin injury that put him in doubt for the match.
Shaun Johnson, who scored the last-gasp winning try in the semi-final win over England, replied with a penalty of his own but that was the last time the Kiwis got close as their bitter-rivals upped the tempo.
After forcing New Zealand to drop out from their own goaline, a perfectly placed chip by Thurston allowed Slater to outleap Kieran Foran and dive over from close range.
Melbourne Storm halfback Cronk got the second score, latching on to the ball after a break and grubber by Darius Boyd, after which Thurston overtook Mick Cronin as international league's highest point scorer with the resulting conversion.
While New Zealand would have been hoping of another second-half fight-back, any lingering hopes were dashed immediately after the restart when interplay play down the left by Smith, Thurston and Boyd freed Slater for another simple try.
On 52 minutes Morris ensured the New Zealand reign as world champions would come to a disappointing end, reaching the ball first after a kick-ahead by Jarryd Hayne.
He collided with an advertising hoarding after touching down, reminiscent of the incident that saw Australia forward Luke Lewis miss most of the tournament after dislocating a shoulder in a pool match against Fiji.
With the match effectively sealed the Kangaroos did not let their defensive effort slip, comfortably repelling the few opportunities New Zealand created and with eight minutes remaining Morris scored his second after a Hayne intercept.
New Zealand coach Stephen Kearney said their rivals were simply too good.
"I thought Australia's performance today was outstanding, they were ruthless today," he said.
"For us to have an opportunity we needed a lot of things to go our way but none of it happened for us. They saved their very best for this performance and we couldn't match them today."

- Thanks a wrap… official CX racing is all done here in Chicagoland.
- Thanks to the Chicago Cuttin' Crew for winding us down after a long CX season with another great Afterglow. Results will be here.
- In case you missed it, even excluding funds donated at Afterglow, the CCC community raised $9k total or $3,000 EACH for West Town Bikes, Blackstone Bicycle Works, and Big Marsh. Well done everyone and THANK YOU!
- We had a joyous time at EJ's Place Sunday afternoon at the CCC series awards party. Lots of cowbells and tons of swag. Thanks to everyone who came out and especially our series sponsors who made sure literally everyone went home with something. Photos by Amy Dykema are here.
- CX National Championships (#CXNats) are in a few weeks on 1/5/2016 to 1/10/2016 in Asheville, NC. Safe travels and good luck to everyone racing!
- And finally… with the mild temperatures throughout the season apparently not everyone remembered to put their coats back on after they raced. We've had quite a few requests from people looking for lost coats, and leg warmers, etc… so leave your pleas and hopes for found items in the comments below and hopefully everyone can be reunited with their articles of clothing.
CCC Tuesday Updates
- This Saturday the Chicago Cuttin' Crew hosts Afterglow – A Cyclocross Race… now with #INSANEDEOMNIUM2015!!!
- Then on Sunday its the 2015 CCC Awards Party, we're not going to make up some silly story that tickets are selling fast, there's plenty of room, but please help us and EJ's Place plan for how much food to make. Winners get their cowbells… and everyone gets something. Come join the fun.
- With the winding down of the CX season here in Chicago the CCC will crawl into its
denevile lair and updates here on the site will be few and far between until summer 2016. Have great winter and ride safely as much as you can. Given the trend in competition over the last few years we expect 2016 to be another fast CX season.
- Want to keep in shape over the holiday and race your CX bike in January??? Well luckily for you USA Cycling is having CX National Championships in Asheville, NC January 5-10. Good luck to everyone traveling and racing!
- And finally… thanks again to everyone who made a series donation this year. With donated entry fees from Melas CX the CCC will make just North of a $2,100 donation to each of our three causes… West Town Bikes, Blackstone Bicycle Works, and Big Marsh. THANK YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!
CCC Tuesday Updates
- That was another fun Montrose Harbor and Illinois State CX Championship. Many, many thanks again to Ten27 Bicycle Club and Spidermonkey Cycling for making the event happen and to everyone, and we mean everyone who came out to make the day special. All results are online in the normal places.
- Its been another fun, exciting, and action packed CCC series with plenty of twists and turns (literally and figuratively), but we had a ton of fun and we hope you all did too. Someone pointed out to us on Sunday that every race this season (except the cancelled Melas CX) was above 45 degrees at some point in the day and we had no rainy/muddy races. Thanks el Nino! As we've said in the past, its the racers and community that makes a race, not the weather or even the course itself. So we are very thankful for everyone who participates in the CCC, on both sides of the tape, and look forward to hanging out with you all again next year.

Come race, stop holding grudges, and do some good with all proceeds going towards Chicago area youth cycling programs.
- Then the next day the CCC officially, officially comes to an end with the 2015 CCC Awards Party. Come raise a glass and leave with some swag. Seriously, everyone gets at least something.

Way to go Anthony!
2015 Montrose Harbor – State CX Championship Pics, Vids, and Race Reports
2015 Montrose Harbor Preview
- #MontroseCX
- Ten27 Cycles and Spidermonkey Cycling host the last stop of the 2015 CCC… the Illinois State CX Championships at Montrose Harbor. We ask everyone to bundle up, bring your cowbells, cameras, drones, noise makers (leave the vuvuzelas at home please) and make a day out of Montrose…
- Registration: We'll be running reg the same way as every other CCC race. Please allow all 35+ racers to pick up their numbers first since they have to get ready first. Several fields are either already full or very close. Online waitlists are on BikeReg. After No-Shows are removed we put in the online waitlisted riders, then its first come, first served until we hit the field limits. Online pre-reg closes tonight… so if you're not yet reg'd, do everyone (yourself included) a favor and reg now!
- Montrose is once again sponsored by Goose Island's 312 Beer which will be awarded on the podiums to everyone of age (or their parents).
- Staging: Staging will follow the same protocol we've been using all season long in the series. See the procedure here.
- Preliminary staging will be posted here. Email us at ChicagoCrossCup at gmail if you have problems.
- State Champion Requirements: Ten27 Cycling, Spidermonkey Cycling, and the ICA will be presenting 19 Illinois State CX Champion Jerseys (on the podiums) to the first IL rider to cross the finish line in every category (excluding the 4/5's). This means Juniors 17-18, 15-16, 13-14, AND Juniors 9-12… boys AND girls, Women Cat 3, and yes even the 65+! Remember that in order to win the state championship you must be a permanent Illinois resident (we'll be checking state/federal ID's), a US citizen or permanent resident, and hold a valid and unsuspended 2015 USAC annual license before the start of the race (yes, we're looking at you Cat 4's). There must also be a full podium of IL riders (that means 3) to win the state jersey. This should not be a problem in any category.
- The Chicago Cuttin' Crew will also be awarding medals and matching cash dollars +$1 for the top 3 women in the Single Speed category in the same way they have been doing since 2013.
- All races are championships except the Cat 4/5's.
- Podiums presentations for each race (top 3 overall in the race) AND and for the IL state championship (top 3 IL riders in the race) will occur immediately after each race finish… so pay attention after your race, Kenny Labbe may be calling your name!
- Payouts: 5 deep per the 2015 CCC minimum payout schedule.
- The Pony Shop and Chicago Cuttin' Crew will also have their usual extra prizes for Junior categories.
- While 5 riders have already locked up their CCC overall titles (see riders in yellow), there are still 10 very, very, very close categories still to be decided on Sunday. Overall titles will be posted Sunday, but all official overall series awards will be presented at the CCC Awards Party on Sunday December 20st at EJ's Place. We look forward to celebrating with all of you.
- The weather usually makes Montrose the special event it is. Right now the forecast is for sun and highs in the upper 40's! In any event, the weather and wind can always change on a dime, especially next to the lake, so bundle up, dress appropriately, and come prepared with extra warm & dry gear.
- The Big Star food truck will be serving their famous tacos and other food at the curb between 11am and 3:30pm.
- A few series and race sponsor tents will be gathered into an Town Square/Expo Area between registration, the finish area, and the podiums where the state champion jerseys will be awarded throughout the day of racing.
- Team Tents: Given the ever present potential for strong winds, bring weights and stakes. Also, Ten27 will have an expo area near registration with designated tent spots for race sponsors, so please do not set up your tents in these spots or you will be asked to move.
- Parking: Parking will be on the street only along Simonds Dr. Simonds Drive will be closed to through traffic between the staging grid and finish line. You may approach the race course on Simonds Drive from either Wilson Avenue or from Montrose Avenue, but you will have to turn around and leave the same way you came in. Please do not park adjacent to the road closure barricades, as Ten27 is required to leave enough room for all cars to turn around at the barricades. Only authorized vehicles (i.e. officials, CCC staff, event organizers, BigStarTruck, etc) will be allowed within the road closures. Please do not give the traffic marshals a hard time about this, they are just doing their job. No Parking at all on the grass, anywhere, period (except for the SRAM NRS car).
- Team trailers: Plan to arrive early between 6:00-6:30am to park your trailer. The streets will be closed at 6:30am. Please drop your trailer and move the tow vehicle to the general parking area. We are trying to keep the barricade area as car free. It is possible to park your trailer Saturday evening by 5:00pm. Security watching the area overnight. Please contact the race directors through BikeReg to make any other special arrangements.
- Alcohol is prohibited in the park without permit, so please act appropriately and responsibly.
- Pack out what you pack in. A large trash dumpster will be provided in the street for any refuse.
- Bib Numbers: On your LEFT SIDE as always. All riders with longer hair are reminded that their hair MUST be pulled up and can not obstruct your bib # while racing. Riders are reminded to not sit up while coming across the finish line, this is especially noted for Juniors – wait to post up until AFTER you've safely finished and have been properly scored by officials. Numbers must also be clearly visible to the officials checking you in at staging. Failing to have numbers visible slows down and delays starting fields on time.
- One2Go Event Services will again be providing camera timing and lap times. However if your bib number is on the wrong side, you will NOT be scored. So pin those numbers correctly.
- Speaking of scoring… Montrose being the State Championship and the last race of the CCC series, the USAC officials will be pulling out-of-contention riders so the race leaders have a clear course. However, everyone will be placed, even if you are several laps down. The only way riders will be listed DNF (did not finish) is if they stop voluntarily. So keep racing until the chief referee tells you to stop. Riders will only be asked to exit the course near the finish line.
- Speaking of the finish line, SRAM Neutral Service will be in the equipment pits helping you get there in the case of a mechanical.
- The equipment pit is on the other side of the road from the start and finish lines. Please do NOT leave your spare bikes and wheels in the pit after your race. The next category needs to use the pit too.
- The Course: Ten27 Cycling's course designer Chuck Judy has tweaked last year's course again while retaining all of Montrose's classic features. The course runs clockwise this year, which is the opposite from year's past, beginning at the staging grid which will now be on the North side Simonds Dr. The start will be long, and wide, and without sharp turns. The finish line and registration tent will be in nearly same location as years past, just off the road to the North and near the sand, however the finish line will now be on the paved path. Riders will again have the full width of the tunnel heading southbound under Simonds Drive. The course will then cross back over the tunnel on Simonds Dr to complete the loop, resulting in essentially a paved flyover. Yes the main sand pit will be back but backwards, where spectators are all but guaranteed a great view of all the action. As always the final course track will be determined Saturday afternoon and may be altered from the map below.
- Also, with yesterday's snow showers the ground is a little wet, so please NO GROUP PRACTICES on the course. We want to leave the grass in as good of shape as we can after Sunday so we can come back and race next year. Thanks!
As usual the season flew by. Montrose is going to be a blast as always and especially nice with the weather that the Cup has ordered up. Once it's over, and still fresh in your head, lay out your annual training plan (ATP) as the first step in realizing your potential next year.
The first phase of importance is the transition phase, which is easy because it consists largely of nothing! Taking time off the bike can feel odd though after such a sudden STOP. Your body craves it and your mind misses it. Hang in there because while it can take some time to process this phase of your training is an important part of the equation. It's good to be active, including some cycling, but let your mind and body take a break from the grind and just have fun. More on that here.
The 2015 ChiCrossCup has once again been a blast! Thanks to everyone out there who is reading what we love to write about. The coaches at Training Bible Cycling have experience in all disciplines and specialize in taking the time and tools at your disposal and helping you get the most out of the effort you put in. Shoot us a note, set, repeat and better than ever…
See you Sunday.
Rob Kelley
Tuesday CCC Updates
- We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday weekend with their family, friends, pets, bikes, trails, etc.
- Speaking of being thankful, thank you to everyone who donated their race entry fees for the cancelled Melas CX event to the series donation causes; Big Marsh, West Town Bikes and Blackstone Bicycle Works. We'll have a final total cash dollar amount number to announce hopefully next week.
- Its now the first week of December, so that means its
sweepsstates week. The final race of the Chicago Cyclocross Cup powered by SRAM series and the Illinois State Cyclo-cross Championships are this coming Sunday at Montrose Harbor in downtown Chicago. Looks for the course preview on Thursday at the normal time, but in the meantime check out the info on the static preview page, especially the section concerning IL State Champion requirements.
- But CX racing is not over here in Chicagoland. The Chicago Cuttin' Crew helps us finish out the year and helps Chicago area youth cycling programs West Town Bikes and Blackstone Bicycle Works with Afterglow – A Cyclocross Race on Saturday 12/19/15. And as if you needed another reason to race your CX bike again, this year the (other) CCC introduces Grudge Match.
- A few riders have already clinched their CCC overall titles, and we'll calculate the final standings for all categories on Sunday at Montrose, but awards for all categories will be distributed on Sunday 12/20/15 at the CCC awards party at EJ's Place.
- And finally… the #PutaRingonIt challenge by Spidermonkey Cycling is down to the final week of fundraising before Montrose! Half Acre and PSIMET have stepped up to the plate .. will your team? Go to http://bigmarsh.causevox.com/ and get started now! For more information, contact email@example.com.
Tuesday CCC Updates
- Wow, this turned out to be a long post for a weekend without racing…
- Well, that was a major bummer Melas CX Basin Racin' was cancelled. This has been one crazy weather season between flooding rivers, record snow fall, etc. And despite what some people may believe, we know neither a larger group of volunteers, fatbikes, woolly mammoths, tauntauns, nor abominable snow men could have made the track ride-able much less race-able. With 10+ inches of wet, heavy snow and the timing of the storm ending just hours before nightfall we don't see how any team could have made the race happen. Not to mention the parking lots were still being cleared Sunday morning at 10am, the park district did not clear the walking path at all, cars were getting stuck, and roads were slippery. Obviously a bit more extreme, but if Louisville had more people setting up the course could they have stopped the river from rising and flooding the CX Worlds course 3 years ago? Nope. As we mentioned on Saturday, safety for everyone involved is always our first consideration. The way we see it a race should be held if safe and feasible, not "the show must go on at all costs".
- Concerning "real" cross racing and what Belgians might have done… the only people in our series who can actually say what "real Belgian" CX racing is like are Brian Matter, David Lombardo, and Scott McLaughlin (once. a long time ago. he got pulled when lapped by Adri Van Der Poel). Everyone else only has an idea of what its like. Furthermore, in our opinion "real" CX racing isn't about the weather but the course and competitors racing on it. We like watching the Namur race on our computer screens just as much as everyone else, but we're not so sure we'd want to race that course in cold mud, and we certainly wouldn't want a bunch of Cat 4/5's and Juniors on such a course. At its heart the CCC is an amateur series and we have to do what's right for the greatest number of riders, from the fastest Cat 1 down to the most novice Cat 4/5, from the 9 year old Junior to the 65+ FOG*.
- Regarding Melas CX race entry and One Day license fee refunds… for those of you who don't know, each race in the CCC is organized and promoted by a separate group, not the series… so we can't just transfer your entry fees to another race (i.e. Montrose). That also means each race promoter has some very real sunk costs (think not-inexpensive park permits, USAC fees, porta-poties, tent rental, supplies, Grateful Dead cover bands, etc) to pay regardless if a freak case of bad luck means the event gets cancelled. That being said, we realize some of you may have spent every last penny on that pair of sweet carbon rims and are now on a budget and need a refund. So if you need/want a refund (less BikeReg service fees) please let us know by filling out this Google Form by Monday 11/30 at 6pm CT. Otherwise if we don't hear from you all money collected through BikeReg, minus the race promoter's sunk costs, will be given to the series donation causes of Big Marsh, West Town Bikes, & Blackstone Bicycle Works. Please email us at ChicagoCrossCup at gmail if you have any questions.
- Now for the good stuff… Next up… TURKEY… and stuffing… and cranberry… and pumpkin pie! The CCC wishes everyone a great Thanksgiving holiday.
- Then the weekend after that we'll see everyone at the Illinois State Cyclo-cross Championships at Montrose Harbor hosted by Ten27 Cycles and Spidermonkey Cycling. As of right now all fields are open so register now if you want to race and not be on a waitlist.
- After that, don't forget about Afterglow and the CCC Awards Party.
- Speaking of Overall Series Awards… due to only one race remaining in the series and only so many series points available, a few riders have already locked up their CCC overall categories. There is still plenty of racing to be had and some categories are separated by only 1 point. In any event, an early congratulations to the follow riders and we'll see you at the CCC Awards Party:
- Masters 35+ – Christopher Pike (The Pony Shop)
- Single Speed – Christopher Pike (The Pony Shop)
- Women Junior 9-14 – Brianna Urban (ABD Cycling Club)
- Cat 3 – Kevin Hathaway (Unattached)
- Women Cat 1/2/3 – Maria Larkin (Chicago Cuttin Crew)
- Need a new bike or just looking for another to fill out the quiver? The Pony Shop is having a close out sale on four different Cannondale models. Call or email with questions: ponyshop.com

MUSIC NEWS- Brooklyn, NY band The Lone Bellow released stunning new music video recently for their tune, FAKE ROSES. Watch it here-
Virginia Madsen stars in the piece for the band's song "Fake Roses" about lead singer Zach Williams mother-in-law Edna. Williams tells EW, " Edna was the first single mother that I ever met. I remember walking up and the lawn was super un-kept and I'm this 15-year-old boy who bush hogged fields, so it was weird to me. Then I walked into their house and a lot of the lights were off and that was even weird, I just thought, 'Man, this is crazy.' And then I med Edna, and she is just this sweet sweet soul. She was a nurse and started working days and nights when she and her husband split."

Re: Jeffries v Quarry
[quote]Jeffries hit harder than Quarry based on the fact that he floored everyone in his prime, and produced far more ten counts. A few historians felt Jeffries was an all time puncher. Odd and Diamond for example. Or to use a name you might be more familiar with Tex Rickard said Jeffries hit harder then Dempsey. now do you still think Quarry hit harder
Jeffries is bigger, stronger, has more reach, and probably has the edge on every part of the tale of the tape. Is this enough advantages for you?
Mendoz says: Quarry's weight is well within the range of Jeffries opponents, and Quarry's best weight is under 200 pounds.
Jackson was 195, Ruhlin 200 for both fights, and Munroe 215 when they fought Jeffries. Kennedy was likely over 190 as well, and Johnson was 208. I count five, not four...
As for footage I have seen Jeffries sparring with Ryan, and hitting a heavy bag, which are clips most here have not seen. If his work out clips vs Ruhlin which you have seen, you can see plenty
McVey says:
Choynski who was conceding 67lbs! and he had 20 rds to do it in
Choynski is a hall of fame fighter who was at his peak. Jeffries had only been pro for a while; still he floored Choyhski three or two times depending on the source. Choynski ran the entire half of the fight. Being a Jack Johnson fan, one would figure youd play up Choysnki as he knocked him out cold in three rounds
Sharkey who was 6inches shorter, and between 32 & 35lbs lighter, went 45rds with Jeffries. Fitz kod Sharkey twice with one punch.
Once again, Shareky was a hall of fame fighter in his prime. You leave out stuff unpurporse. Jeffreis had Sharkey floored and hurt in the first match, and likely would have finished him in the 2nd match if not for the arm injury suffered in roudn two when he floored Sharkey. Still, the shape Sharkey was in at the end of the fight tells the tale. He was a broken mess, but he would not quit. I suppose you will blast Marciano for faling to finish Ted Lowry in both fights, or rip Sonny Liston for falign to stop some journyeman level people? Of coruse not, youre a baised *****.
Armstrong who was kod quickly in a few fights, he went 10 rds to a finish, he was conceding 25lbs ,and had just been kod in 5 rds by Pete Everett.
Jeffries broke his thumb in round one and had Armstrong down and ready to go by the 10th.
Ruhlin in their first fight & and their second was a corner retirement. Griffin ,who was conceding 40lbs.
If you read fight reports, you will see Ruhlin was down twice, and finsihed the match out on his back saved by the count. The crowd hissed at the decsion, meaning the draw was questionable. Ruhlin was done for in the re-match and down in roudn five. If he did not throw in the sponge he would not have lasted long. Griffin who beat Johnson in the same 12 month span was also down multiple times.
Jeffries was always the bigger heavier man.
It took him 23rds to beat a long retired Corbett whom a167lbs Fitz took out with ONE shot when Corbett was prime.
So what. Corbett went 25+ rounds with hitters like Choynski and Jackson without going down. Fitz just caught him with a perfect body shot.
It took Jeffries 11 rds to stop a long retired Fitz.
If you look at the records, no man stopped Fitz for a ten year run ( too lazy to look up the dates ) exepct for Jeffries. Next!
Still no sign of any sources or names? I'll give you this ,you are consistant, you have NEVER produced a single, solitary primary source to back up any of your claims .
Jeffries record has little fat on it. His KO% in title fights is very good by any standard. To suggest he wasnt a puncher is either badly misinformed or in your case a weak minded agenda.

About Bob
I am most fulfilled when I am using my two major gifts; the gift to encourage and the gift to inspire others.
I do my best to demonstrate my character traits of being passionate, purposeful, diligent, hopeful, joyful and courageous.

Changing Gears - Relish the Ride
The purpose of this book is "To inspire you to relish the ride of your retirement" as I have mine.
I believe my photography and ideas will help you choose which doors to walk through on this next adventure in your life.
Why should you buy this book?
If you have either already retired, or are about to, you will face the inescapable question: "Now what?"
"Changing Gears" describes the ideas I used to push my own "dream buttons" as I answered that question.
My opinion is you should gear both down and up to "relish the ride."

Poster #3 in my series of Star Wars propaganda posters!
Been busy in my new role, but managed to blog about the myths behind John Snow's famous map, which I admit is a bugbear of mine!
Don't get me wrong, I admire the map, it's great, but it's not the reason the Pump was turned off...John Snow's incredible data analysis and site investigations/interviews were.
Looking forward to seeing the results.
Wonder if who ever wins the contract would like the Ground based LiDAR of the excavated houses?
I will miss Bournemouth University, been a great place to work.

Quote from: "Dincrest"
The only think I found odd was
towards the end when everyone was flying on thestrals. All the thestrals were visible. Shouldn't Ron's, Hermione's, Ginny's, and Neville's thestrals been invisible since they couldn't see them? Only people who've seen death can see thestrals.
Well, you could argue that, but I'd say that
the books and movies are all sort of from Harry's point of view, so since he's seen death, he can see them, and therefore we can see them. Regardless, the question isn't whether WE can see the thestrals, but rather if the [i]characters[/i] can see them. Apparently through the magic of film, we can see them whether we've seen death or not.
I saw Hot Fuzz the other day, and it was great stuff. Anyone who liked Shaun of the Dead would probably love it. I'm dumb, so I didn't pick up on what was happening until they gave it away. At first, I thought that
it definitely wasn't the supermarket guy because he was too obvious.Then I thought
it was everyone who works at the supermarket but no one else.

Extreme's 'More Than Words' Video Gets a Shot-for-Shot Remake From Jimmy Fallon and Jack Black
Extreme's greatest hit has been given the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon tribute treatment, complete with a shot-for-shot remake of the music video.
Extreme's greatest hit has been given the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon tribute treatment, complete with a shot-for-shot remake of the music video.
Cross Queen off the list of classic rockers covered by Jimmy Fallon.
Robert Plant and Jimmy Fallon sang 'Duke of Earl' with the help of an iPad app.
Jimmy Fallon once again performs as 'Neil Young' - but this time with help from the singer's famous bandmates.
If you didn't stay awake to watch the drum-off, between Will Ferrell and Chad Smith, on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,' then you missed one of the greatest nights in late-night history.
Billy Joel brought out some friends on stage to help celebrate his 65th birthday.
'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon impersonates Tom Petty while performing with Stevie Nicks.
Let's review the things that 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon loves. He loves stars and music and vintage things and trucks (that last one might not apply here) and he loves nostalgia and silliness and having some seriously good-natured fun with all of those things. Obviously, the man loves Stevie Nicks. Who doesn't?
'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon's obsession with trucks -- and buying one this week, thanks to his Fingers on a 4x4 contest -- has seeped into every corner of the show over the past few days. As such, this week's round of "Tonight Show #Hashtags" was all about finding out viewers' worst cars. Oh, Jimmy, that's just mean!
'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon is beyond excited to embark on a long-awaited journey this week, one that involves a truck (#NewTruck!), an actual aircraft carrier, and a bunch of really, really excited Ford sales consultants (car dealers). As he announced last week, Fallon is playing a little game -- shocker! -- in order to determine who will actually sell him a shiny new Ford 150 King Ranch. It's Fingers on a 4x4! And one of these people will win it sometime in the next seven days! Can you feel the excitement?
When Chris Evans went on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon' to plug his work in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' the last thing he probably expected was to be forced into a twisted take on the 'Newlywed Game' with his brother, Scott. But Evans played along, sharing a few hilarious stories and putting his brotherly bond to the test on live television!
'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon's love of sports, games and making his celebrity guests fully participate in both has been well documented, but last night, he took things up a notch. Well, actually, Bill Cosby took things up a notch.

Gauging Gustav
As of this posting, Hurricane Gustav has made landfall on the Gulf Coast southwest of New Orleans, and he's hitting it hard. Not, at this point, in Katrina fashion, but it's still no joke. The levees are holding, but water is sloshing over the tops of them. Winds are snapping off tree limbs and doing enough damage to cause major power outages. What's definitely different, this time around, is the human response. According to the AP, the Louisiana Coast is "all-but-deserted," as officials stated early and often, in no uncertain terms, that everyone must evacuate. We'll take an hour to get a full update from the coast, and wrap with a quick update from Ken Rudin about how Gustav — and Sarah Palin — are playing at the RNC in St. Paul.

I hate to say this, but until Katrina literally overwhelmed the bulwarks against nature, we pretty much gave little credence to the power of Mother Nature. (As that old commercial: "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature!) We'd forgotten the power of wind and water - (I'm trying to find the line from the Tao).
We wowed at the destructiveness of the Christmas Tsunami, but that was a world a way. Now, after Katrina and the Cedar, Iowa and hence Mississippi floods, we again respect water.
So, for this time, people will respect the power. Since Gustav downgraded, rather than upgrades as Katrina did, will people conveniently forget for the next one?
here's that passage from the Tao to which I referred. it's the Ursula LeGuin translation:
8. Easy by nature
True goodness
is like water.
Water is good
for everything.
It doesn't compete.
It goes right
to the low loathsome places,
and so finds the way.
For a house,
the good thing is level ground.
In thinking,
depth is good.
The good of giving is magnanimity;
of speaking, honesty;
a government, order.
The good of work is skill,
and of action, timing.
No competition,
so no blame.
I wonder how the folks in Florida feel, knowing that so much media, faith, and political attention is being paid to New Orleans and Louisiana with an impending storm. Meanwhile, they're still cleaning up from Faye and expect more, weekly.
I also wonder if the "Jerry's Kids" telethon will suffer from lack of attention this year.
A caller mentioned the newspaper-stuffed levies. Here's a link to some investigation on that.

An Irrelevant 'Outreach'
Does Obama really think he has to win an argument against al Qaeda?
Having ordered the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, President Obama plans to follow up by . . . giving a speech. All we can say is it's about time. America waited 9½ years to be rid of bin Laden, and it's been practically hours since we last heard from the World's Greatest Orator.
But this isn't just any Obama speech. As The Wall Street Journal reports, it's "a fresh outreach to the Muslim world"! Obama will boldly "ask those in the Middle East and beyond to reject Islamic militancy in the wake of Osama bin Laden's death and embrace a new era of relations with the U.S."
It gets better: "The president intends to argue that bin Laden's death, paired with popular uprisings sweeping North Africa and the Middle East, signal that the time has come to an end when al Qaeda could claim to speak for Muslim aspirations."
So the Obama administration's view is that until last week, al Qaeda could claim to speak for Muslim aspirations? Perhaps that's an overly uncharitable reading, yet the Journal story repeatedly attributes to the administration the view that bin Laden's death proves the inadequacy of his ideology--as if such proof were necessary:
Mr. Obama, who has made outreach to the Muslim world a cornerstone of his presidency, plans to describe the Islamic world as at a crossroads, said U.S. officials, making the case that bin Laden represented a failed approach of the past while populist movements brewing in the Middle East and North Africa represent the future.
So Obama is going to speak out boldly against a dead terrorist whose killing occasioned only scattered protests in the Arab world? "Even before Osama bin Laden was killed, he seemed largely irrelevant to the Arab Spring," as Paul Wolfowitz told us last week. "I don't know of a single instance of these Arab freedom fighters holding up pictures of bin Laden. I know many instances of them displaying American flags in Benghazi or painting 'Facebook' on their foreheads in Cairo."
The "failed approach of the past" that is relevant today is not terrorism but tyranny--not al Qaeda but the regimes against which the freedom fighters are revolting. There is no indication in the Journal article that the president plans to take on that question.
To be sure, it would be awkward, and perhaps ill-advised, for a U.S. president to denounce undemocratic regimes in Arab and Muslim lands indiscriminately, since some of them are, to varying degrees, friendly with the U.S. But one could at least ask for a tough line on regimes that abuse their own people and are enemies of America.
Yet Obama has consistently fallen short in this regard. In June 2009 he launched his earlier "outreach" effort with the much-hyped Cairo speech. Just over a week later, Iranians took to the streets to protest a stolen election--and Obama could hardly be troubled to say anything.
When Libya's Moammar Gadhafi started massacring protesters, Obama was dragged by Britain, France, the Arab League and the hawk hens in his own administration into participating in a NATO military action--but that action has been desultory and the U.S. role in it even more so.
And consider Syria, where the New York Times reports the regime "has gained the upper hand over a seven-week uprising against the rule of President Bashar al-Assad, a senior official declared Monday, in the clearest sign yet that the leadership believes its crackdown will crush protests that have begun to falter in the face of hundreds of deaths and mass arrests."
In an interview with The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, Secretary of State HIllary Clinton explains the administration's approch:
Goldberg: One thing I didn't understand was this Bashar al-Assad moment, when you called him a reformer, or said he was being seen by others as a reformer. There is always going to be plasticity or strategic hypocrisy in the way you have to deal with the world. But shouldn't we be blowing some of these winds of change in the direction of Damascus and Tehran as well?
Mrs. Clinton: We don't have to blow. The winds are blowing. There's no stopping them. And what we have tried to do with him is to give him an alternative vision of himself and Syria's future. So when a number of the members of Congress who have gone over to Syria come back and say both publicly and privately, "We think he really wants to reform, but he's trying to put together the political pieces to be able to do that," I think it's worth reminding him of that. And since I'm not going to be on a phone conversation with him, and I'm not going to fly to Damascus, I think that's one way of communicating with him. He's got to make the decisions, and thus far, it doesn't look like it's heading in the right direction. But there was certainly a lot of hope that he would begin to introduce the kinds of reforms that would help Syria get ahead of the curve.
"We have tried . . . to give him an alternative vision of himself." That's one heck of a strategy, isn't it?
Having dispatched Osama bin Laden, Barack Obama is enjoying an aura of strength that could be turned into an opportunity to take a stand for freedom and against dictatorship in Arab and Muslim countries. The Journal story gives no indication that he intends to do so.
It does mention that "the White House is still debating . . . whether Mr. Obama should lay out a concrete plan for revitalizing the stalled Arab-Israeli peace process." Talk about failed approaches of the past!
Apparently It Wasn't Over When the Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor
"Internationally, we've gone through a Teutonic shift in the Middle East that could have enormous ramifications for years to come."--President Obama, May 10, quoted by USA Today, which reports the White House says he meant "tectonic."
Gingrich for President? Nah.
Newt Gingrich is "set to give an interview Wednesday night on Fox News Channel, explaining his rationale for a candidacy," the Associated Press reports. That's a candidacy for president, folks. "He'll give his first speech as a full-fledged candidate at the Georgia Republican Party's convention in Macon on Friday."
The AP headline reads "Analysis: Gingrich's Past a Plus, a Minus." We were going to run this under "Out on a Limb," but it seems to us that doesn't quite do it justice. But actually, that would not be in keeping with the sarcastic tone of that feature. To call Gingrich's past a "plus" really is to go out on a limb. Here's the best the AP can do to present Gingrich's past as a plus:
Nostalgia may not be completely troublesome for him.
The economy was humming in the 1990s when he was speaker of the House. And the world seemed a safer place before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The next sentence: "But Gingrich himself has a mixed legacy from those days." No kidding.
To be sure, Gingrich was arguably the most effective House minority whip in American history. That was the title he held in the 103rd Congress (1993-94), when he masterminded the successful Republican campaign to win a majority in 1994. Since Minority Leader Robert Michel was retiring, Gingrich was in line to become speaker in the 104th Congress. The AP's Shannon McCafrey, assigned to Gingrich's campaign, reminds us how that worked out:
He's remembered as much for his stormy fall--he faced ethics complaints and later resigned--as for his triumphant rise. And questions about his temperament still surface.
One of the best-known images of Gingrich from his days as speaker was the New York Daily News cover depicting him in a diaper pitching a tantrum after being barred from sitting up front with President Bill Clinton on Air Force One while returning from Israel. And his latest outbursts have raised eyebrows, including when he compared a mosque that was to open near ground zero in New York to Nazis putting a sign next to the Holocaust Museum.
We've met Gingrich a bunch of times, and we like him--which is to say, we find him engaging and entertaining. But the thought of him in the White House makes us uneasy. For one thing, he has an outsized sense of his own historic destiny (a trait he shares with Barack Obama).
For another, while he is undoubtedly very intelligent, he is erratically so. People on the left love to stereotype conservatives as "incurious," but Gingrich is too curious--too quick to latch onto ideas and drop them rather than give them thoughtful consideration. Thus the outbursts that raise those eyebrows.
And they aren't all outbursts. Back in March, National Review's Jim Geraghty posted a video of Gingrich in a 2008 ad "sitting on a couch with Nancy Pelosi, talking about how he completely agrees with her that 'our country must take action to address climate change,' and that 'if enough of us demand action from our leaders, we can spark the innovation we need.' "
That looks to us like a winning ad--for any of Gingrich's rivals in the Republican primaries.
The Slippery Slope
Pakistan has yet to permit the U.S. to question Osama bin Laden's widows, but a former CIA officer tells CBS News it may not matter:
Charles Faddis told "Early Show" co-anchor Erica Hill Wednesday U.S. officials aren't likely to learn much from the women.
"I wouldn't anticipate what we're going to get out of these ladies. Assuming we get access, it's going to be extremely limited," Faddis said. "It's about compulsion--I'm not talking physical force--but you have to have some mechanism for making a person want to talk, and all of the dynamics are contrary to that."
Hill said, "There's no incentive whatsoever for the women to talk."
And we kept hearing that compulsion doesn't work! You mean that isn't true?
Meanwhile, our item yesterday on waterboarding prompted this comment from reader Alex Levendahl:
You mentioned that the arguments against using the shooting of bin Laden as a justification for the Bush Administration's interrogation tactics were weak. The only reasonable argument against the tactics is that it will lead to a slippery slope. In the case of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, we were certain that he had very good information on either al Qaeda as a whole or Bin Laden in particular.
However, it is reasonable to believe that as time progresses our standard for the level of certainty necessary will lower or the methods used will grow more extreme. But this at best is an argument for being very careful and taking time before using the methods, not for prohibiting the methods altogether.
But often there are slippery slopes in both directions. As it actually turned out, the Bush administration never sanctioned any technique harsher than waterboarding, which was used only on three detainees. That led to such overwrought criticism that the Obama administration refuses to use any interrogation technique beyond asking nicely.

Pit Stop
Airborne terrorism did not die with Osama bin Laden, reports San Jose's KNTV:
One of the men being hailed a hero for his actions during Sunday night's flight from Chicago to San Francisco where a passenger attempted to break through the cockpit door talked about his efforts on Tuesday.
Larry Wright, who is a retired police officer, said he did what he thinks anyone should do under the same circumstances. Wright sat down with reporters at SFO two days after the flight landed safely and the man was taken into police custody.
A man named Rageh al-Murisi is accused of walking to the front of the plane and attempting to get in the cockpit.
Wright said he was sitting in seat 20C when he noticed a fellow passenger walking past. "As I turned, there was a person walking past me. He rapidly broke into a trot . . . then yelled 'Allahu akbar.' " Wright said from his training as a police office he knew there was a problem
Thank goodness there was a trained police officer on board, or it might have escaped everyone's notice that anything was amiss.
London's Daily Mail, however, reports that a cousin, Rageh Almoraissi, thinks al-Murisi merely mistook the cockpit door for the bathroom. And after all, don't we all shout "God is great!" when we really have to go?
Almoraissi adds that al-Murisi has rheumatoid arthritis and gets uncomfortable if he sits too long: "If a flight attendant has the nerve to grab me and try to force me to my seat, believe me, you would hear about other people having injuries." And if that doesn't reassure you, you're a hopeless Islamophobe.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:19 PM GMT on November 13, 2005
The tropical disturbance that has festered over the waters between Panama and Nicaragua the past three days has dissipated, and tropical storm formation is no longer expected in this region.
A new area of disturbed weather has developed about 80 miles south of Barbados this morning. A low level circulation center is apparent near 12N 59W on both visible satellite imagery and an 8 am EDT QuikSCAT satellite pass. Deep convection associated with this 1007 mb low is mostly to its north, where the QuicSCAT satellite saw winds of up to 35 mph. Wind shear is quite high for tropical storm formation to occur, about 20 knots, but this shear is expected to decrease over the next few days. A tropical depression could form as early as Monday as the system crosses the Lesser Antilles islands into the eastern Caribbean. It is more likely, however, that development would occur Wednesday or later as the system moves into the central Caribbean.
The models are not gung-ho on this system, except for the Canadian model, which brings it quickly to hurricane strength just south of Hispanolia on Wednesday. The GFS model doesn't develop the system at all, and the other models forecast a weak tropical storm in the central Caribbean by Thursday.
Figure 1. Early model runs for the disturbance near Barbados.
I'll have an update Monday morning, or late tonight if the system develops.

Deeplinks Blog posts about NSA Spying
We were pleasantly surprised by Verizon's announcement this week that it will become the first major telecommunications company to release a transparency report. In early 2014, Verizon will follow in the footsteps of companies like Google, Facebook, and Apple, and will finally adopt this best practice and begin to tell its customers, and the American public, the details about how often law enforcement comes knocking with requests for user data. Verizon's welcome announcement came the same day that Google updated its transparency report, which it has regularly released since 2010. Google's latest report details significant and troubling increases in government requests to remove content from the Internet.
Fifty-four civil liberties and public interest groups sent a letter to Congressional leadership today opposing S. 1631, the FISA Improvements Act. The bill, promoted by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), seeks to legalize and extend NSA mass surveillance programs, including the classified phone records surveillance program confirmed by documents released by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden this summer.
In a historic decision, a federal judge in Washington, D.C. today declared that the NSA's mass phone records surveillance is likely unconstitutional, ruling that the plaintiff's data should be purged from the system and prohibiting the NSA from collecting further phone records from the plaintiffs.
The case, Klayman v. Obama, undermines the government's assertions that its bulk surveillance program, which collects virtually every phone record in the United States, is legal. Judge Richard Leon found the "[b]ulk telephony metadata collection and analysis almost certainly does violate a reasonable expectation of privacy," which, in turn, likely results in a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
We've just seen some amazing reports from the Washington Post about just a few ways NSA is tracking people around the Internet and the physical world. These newly-revealed techniques hijacked personal information that was being transmitted for some commercial purpose, converting it into a tool for surveillance. One technique involved web cookies, while another involved mobile apps disclosing their location to location-based services.
Yesterday, we learned that the NSA is using Google cookies—the same cookies used for advertisements and search preferences—to track users for surveillance purposes.
These Google cookies—known as "PREF" cookies—last two years and can uniquely identify you. Sniffing one off the Internet as it goes past allows the NSA to recognize your browser whenever you interact with Google from any location or network. Every person who visits a Google site will receive a PREF cookie, regardless of whether they log in or even have an account with Google. Using Google Search without logging in tags you for two years, and that unique tag is sent over the network every time you search even if it's on a different network (or in a different country).

We present a method for visualizing vasculature based on clinical computed tomography or magnetic resonance data. The vessel skeleton as well as the diameter information per voxel serve as input. Our method adheres to these data, while producing smooth transitions at branchings and closed, rounded ends by means of convolution surfaces. We examine the filter design with respect to irritating bulges, unwanted blending and the correct visualization of the vessel diameter. The method has been applied to a large variety of anatomic trees. We discuss the validation of the method by means of a comparison to other visualization methods. Surface distance measures are carried out to perform a quantitative validation. Furthermore, we present the evaluation of the method which has been accomplished on the basis of a survey by 11 radiologists and surgeons.

Japan Stocks: Daiwa, Honda, KDDI, Mizuho, Nippon Steel, Softbank
Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average fell 180.90, or 2.1 percent, to 8,560.26 as of the 3 p.m. close in Tokyo. The following were among the most active shares in the Japanese market today. Stock symbols are in parentheses after company names.
Japanese Banks: Financial shares fell after U.S. lenders Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co. had their long-term credit ratings downgraded by Moody's, which cited a decreasing probability that the U.S. would support the lenders in an emergency. Citigroup Inc. had its short-term rating cut.
Separately, BNP Paribas SA initiated coverage of seven major Japanese banks, and said the outlook for the industry is "deteriorating." The prospect of an improvement in the profitability of the banks is small, and return on equity is unlikely to improve, BNP said in a report today.
Mizuho Financial Group Inc. (8411 JT), which was rated "reduce" by BNP, slipped 1.8 percent to 112 yen. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. (8306 JT), which was rated "hold" by BNP, declined 1.5 percent to 332 yen. Shinsei Bank Ltd. (8303 JT), which was also rated "hold", fell 3.5 percent to 82 yen. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. (8316 JT), rated "buy" by BNP, dropped 1.8 percent to 2,089 yen.
Daiwa Securities Group Inc. (8601 JT), a brokerage, dropped 4.4 percent to 283 yen. The company was cut to "underweight" from "equal weight" by Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities Co., which said the company's "upside potential is more limited than others" after the stock performed better relative to peers.
Honda Motor Co. (7267 JT), a carmaker, fell 3.9 percent to 2,275 yen. The company is spending $50 million to expand a transmission factory in Ohio as it upgrades U.S. assembly operations and works to restore full production slowed by an earthquake. Separately, the company will spend about 5 billion yen to build a motorcycle plant in Malaysia, the Nikkei newspaper reported.
Japan Steel Works Ltd. (5631 JT), a maker of machinery for castings, fell 2.8 percent to 459 yen. The company said it plans to pay a dividend of 10 yen per share this fiscal year, compared with 12 yen the previous year.
Softbank Corp. (9984 JT), currently the sole iPhone seller in Japan, tumbled 12 percent to 2,282 yen, its biggest decline since Nov. 2008.
KDDI Corp. (9433 JT) will begin selling the iPhone 5 in Japan, Nikkei Business magazine reported. KDDI, a mobile-phone operator, slipped 0.8 percent to 624,000 yen. T-Gaia Corp. (3738 JT), a mobile-phone store operator which receives about 18 percent of its revenue from KDDI sales, jumped 8 percent to 169,300 yen.
Kintetsu Department Store Co. (8244 JO), a retailer, dropped 5.7 percent to 183 yen, its biggest drop since Feb. 24. The company said it plans to raise 24.8 billion yen ($325 million) by selling 128.9 million shares to Kintetsu Corp. (9041 JT) and seven other companies. The company also reported a first-half net loss of 9.9 billion yen, compared with its forecast of a 400 million yen profit, the company said in a preliminary earnings statement.
Kintetsu Corp. was unchanged at 312 yen.
Nippon Steel Corp. (5401 JT), a steel producer, lost 3.9 percent to 225 yen. Sumitomo Metal Industries Ltd. (5405 JT) declined 2.4 percent to 165 yen. The companies have settled on an outline for a planned merger that will leave Nippon Steel as the surviving entity, the Nikkei newspaper reported, without citing anyone. The merger ratio will be about 0.7 Nippon Steel shares for every Sumitomo Metal share, the report said. Both companies said nothing had been decided on the merger ratio.
NS United Kaiun Kaisha Ltd. (9110 JT), a shipping line operator, slumped 7.7 percent to 108 yen. The company forecast a net loss of 400 million yen for the half-year ending Sept. 30, compared with its previous outlook for a 100 million yen profit.
Rakuten Inc. (4755 JQ), an online retailer, fell 2.4 percent to 87,800 yen. The company agreed to buy Play Holdings Ltd. for 25 million pounds ($39 million) in cash as it expands into new markets.
