Steve Jones, Nicole Scherzinger voted off The X Factor?
Is this Steve Jones' final week as host of The X Factor?
Look out for possible changes when The X Factor launches its second season on Fox next fall.
That's the buzz that's got online gossips chattering.
Host Steve Jones has allegedly been axed as host of the talent show after his tenure was plagued by "terrible reviews." Also on the chopping block is Nicole Scherzinger, who proved herself an indecisive judge when she waffled on a vote and fan favorite Rachel Crow ended up going home.
"Everyone thought he'd be a new Ryan Seacrest, in the sense he'd become a huge star here," an X Factor insider told The Chicago Sun-Times on Wednesday. "It just didn't happen… Everyone has been surprised about that, including Simon [Cowell], who was initially a big fan of Steve's."
USA Today pundit Robert Bianco once called the 34-year-old Welsh presenter "as charmless as a Ken doll and even less animated."
"There have been mistakes and he just doesn't seem to have the knack for dealing with contestants," the tabloid tattle added. "The executives at Fox have already decided not to renew his contract and so, short of a miracle happening, it is pretty much a done deal that he will not take part next season."
Jones' "people" promptly issued a statement denying that the host has been asked to leave the show.
"There have been absolutely no conversations about Steve Jones leaving The X Factor," his rep said this week. "Steve is very happy with the outcome of this season and he looks forward to being back and discovering more talent in the new year."
Steve has previously blamed his "rude" hosting manner — which saw him fail to comfort axed 13-year-old Crow when she collapsed to the floor in tears live on air — on "screaming" producers.
"I'm wearing an earpiece and there's about five people screaming, 'Shut Paula up. Shut her up now. Move on.' I'm going to have hearing damage in this ear by the end of series," he said.
"I feel terrible because I feel on occasions I'm coming across as rude and abrupt and that's really not me. I cherish every word that comes out of Paula."
Nicole Scherzinger owns up to Rachel Crow heartbreak >>
Deadline Hollywood reports that Scherzinger could move from a judge's seat into Jones' hosting job.
The "Don't Cha" hitmaker took up a role on the judging panel, alongside L.A. Reid, Paula Abdul and show creator Simon Cowell, after British pop tart Cheryl Cole was sensationally fired from the series after just four rounds of auditions.
"Nicole has been too much of a diva, plus she's surprisingly overwhelmed by the decision-making required of the judging process on the show. When she sold Rachel Crow down the river — that was the final nail in her coffin," the Sun-Times source added.
The X Factor's finale has a Pitbull and a Bieber >>
When asked at a press conference Monday whether she'd return for a second season of The X Factor if asked, the Pussycat Dolls singer didn't give a straight answer, saying, "I've had a lot of fun this season. The reason I took this job is I wanted to mentor, first and foremost… It has been very hard on me, the elimination process. It's something I could never have been prepared for."
Officially, a show rep tells People, "No discussions have been had and no decisions will be made about any contracts until the New Year."

Q: I began psychotherapy two years ago for emotional intimacy issues with my wife. Treatment has helped my marriage and a slew of other issues, too.
But I think now might be a good time to stop going. I've gotten what I needed from it, and now feel it'll cause more problems if I keep going. I'd like my therapist to just tell me I'm good now and that I can stop. How do you know when you've outgrown therapy?
A: Therapists rarely tell their clients that services are no longer needed. Most mental health professionals believe that should be determined by the individual. Additionally, it's important to remember they're running a business where they aren't looking to turn down willing customers they feel they can help. You need to make this decision yourself.
It's rare that one outgrows therapy -- this idea suggests that leaving psychotherapy is linked with a higher level of emotional maturity. This is a misdirected idea.
We all go to therapy for different reasons. Some people require short-term, goal-directed treatment focused on behaviors and current life stressors. Others require long-term, psychodynamic-influenced work concentrated around personality issues, chronic patterns and trauma. There is also a huge range in between these two illustrations as well.
Leaving therapy should be based on your personalized goals and objectives. As you previously stated, your marriage has clearly benefited from your emotional investment. Building and keeping meaningful relationships is not an easy task, and your ability to do so is indicative of a strong therapeutic alliance that you've built with your therapist. It also indicates a profound trust in this therapist to help tackle issues of emotional intimacy, no easy feat for man or woman.
If you keep seeing your therapist and no longer find it useful, it may be counterproductive but it wouldn't cause problems in and of itself. Your reaction to feeling "over" the process might certainly disturb your ability to garner help from your therapeutic relationship. I would ask you to observe without judgment any new resistance you're carrying, which might mask feeling bored with therapy.
It may truly be time to move on. Take a look at the goals set forth before treatment. Aside from improving your intimacy levels, what other areas in your life have benefited from psychotherapy?
How are you handling sudden conflict in relationships? Do you feel more in control of your choices and confident in your abilities? Are you less plagued by the past and more settled in the present?
Nothing will ever be perfect. The question here becomes whether you wish to handle these questions without the assistance of a mental health professional. No doubt you can, but do you want to? A yes or no answer does not determine progress.
Lastly, check to make certain uncomfortable feelings that often surface during sessions don't have you running for the hills. This very unwise move could prevent some core discoveries from taking place. That would be a loss.
Regardless of your decision, I urge you to discuss it with your therapist. Do not just leave without a word. Some of the most important work can be done during the period of closure. You could discuss your possible next steps, post-therapy.
Perhaps the option of checking in from time to time, or knowing there's an open invitation to come back whenever needed, would be a great comfort for you to have in your back pocket.
Don't be afraid to bring up the topic and have the talk! You will come to a conclusion that is befitting of the work you've done with your therapist.
Thank you very much for the question and the willingness to listen.

Around Washington: College Prices, Student Data
President Obama signals concern about rapidly rising tuitions; GAO reports on state records systems and student privacy.
WASHINGTON -- In a conversation with student journalists aimed at trumpeting his administration's higher education accomplishments and persuading young people (roughly a month ahead of midterm elections) that he's fighting for their interests, President Obama also signaled to college leaders that he is closely watching their soaring prices.
The president spent most of his time on the conference call with editors at college student newspapers discussing financial aid increases and health care changes designed to help young Americans maneuver through increasingly difficult financial times, so that they don't become a "lost generation," as Colin Daileda, a Radford University senior, put it. "Do you think it will take a longer time than usual for our generation to get on our feet?"
Obama sought to be reassuring, saying: "First of all, I think your generation is going to be just fine. I mean, we've gone through the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, and so things are real tough for young people right now. But having said that, if you are getting a college degree, if you've got skills in math and science or good, sound communication skills, there are still jobs out there even in a tough environment. And 9 out of 10 people who are looking for work can still find work."
As he mixed political chatter (bashing Republicans for favoring tax cuts for the rich and implying that they would roll back increases in student aid) with sports small talk (discussing the results of Saturday's football games with several callers), the president was asked by Daniel Schonhaut of the University of California at Los Angeles to "address this concern that public higher education is becoming more of a strain on families?"
The president's answer managed, in about a minute, both to cogently summarize the factors that many experts credit (or blame) for rapidly increasing college tuitions and to make clear that continued escalation is unacceptable.
"If I keep on increasing Pell Grants and increasing student loan programs and making it more affordable, but ... higher education inflation keeps on going up at the pace that it's going up right now, then we're going to be right back where we started, putting more money in, but it's all being absorbed by these higher costs," Obama said.
It aggravated college leaders no end that officials in the Bush administration often played down the extent to which state budget cuts contributed to rising college prices, and Obama has avoided that trap. "[S]tate budgets are being so hard pressed that they're having to make severe cutbacks in the support they provide to public education," the president said Monday. "So one of the things that I can do to help is to make sure that the economy is growing, states then are taking in more tax revenue, and if states are taking in more tax revenue, then they don't have to try to pass on increased costs to students because they can maintain levels of support to institutions of higher learning."
But college and state leaders need to do their parts, too, Obama said, to "figure out what is driving all this huge inflation in the cost of higher education, because this is actually the only place where inflation is higher than health care inflation." While health insurance and other employee-related costs are "out of the control of the administrators at universities," the president said, "there are other aspects of this where, frankly, I think students as consumers, parents as consumers, and state legislators and governors are going to need to put more pressure on universities."
Sounding a bit like the grandfather who tells the teenagers that he used to walk a mile to school in the snow without boots, Obama said he has been struck on campus visits by "the athletic facilities that exist these days, or the food courts or the other things that have to do with the quality of life at universities. ...
"[I]t's sure a lot nicer than it was when I was going to college. ... And part of what I think we've got to examine is are we designing our universities in a way that focuses on the primary thing, which is education. You're not going to a university to join a spa; you're going there to learn so that you can have a fulfilling career. And if all the amenities of a public university start jacking up the cost of tuition significantly, that's a problem."
Obama touched (in a slightly self-contradictory way) on the tension over faculty workloads, "so that we're making sure that the teaching loads at universities continue to emphasize research and continue to give professors the opportunity to engage in work outside the classroom that advances knowledge, but at the same time reminding faculties that their primary job is to teach, and so you've got to structure how universities operate to give students the best deal that they can -- that's important, too."
The president said the administration will be "working with university presidents and college presidents to figure out how can we get control of costs generally and refocus our priorities and our attention on what the primary function of a university is, and that is to give students the knowledge and skills that they need to have a fulfilling career after they get out -- not to provide the best situation for the four years that they're there."
Terry W. Hartle, senior vice president for government and public affairs at the American Council on Education, said the higher education presidents' group would be "happy at any time" to work with the president on such a review. He called the president's analysis "incredibly detailed and amazingly insightful," especially for "somebody who is extraordinarily busy with matters of state."
GAO on State Student Records Systems
In the push to measure outcomes, states are moving to maintain longitudinal data systems linking educational and employment information for individual students, but concerns about maintaining student privacy and judging institutions fairly worry some state and institutional officials, reported the Government Accountability Office in a study released Monday.
Based on surveys conducted by the Lumina Foundation for Education and the State Higher Education Executive Officers, GAO counted 26 states that maintain longitudinal data systems that track employment and other outcomes of the graduates of postsecondary institutions, while 45 have at least one postsecondary data system.
GAO found that the U.S. Department of Education needs to offer more guidance on how state agencies can ensure compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act while still effectively keeping tabs on students. Several federal initiatives, including the department's Grant Program for Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems, aim to encourage states to link education and workforce data, and could potentially violate FERPA.
In some states, GAO said, agencies use workforce data to promote economic development, offer feedback to institutions on where and how students were employed after earning certain degrees, and inform prospective students of their potential outcomes. GAO also suggested expanding direct state-to-state data sharing to better understand work force movement across state lines.
The report was authorized by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 and conducted between July 2009 and this month, and does in a sense weigh in on the current tug-of-war over the Education Department's proposed regulations on "gainful employment," which would use average salaries calculated by the Social Security Administration as one part of a formula to measure student outcomes.
Some stakeholders interviewed, including officials from colleges, GAO said, "raised concerns that employment outcomes that are beyond a school's control should not be used as a basis for assessing the quality of the education provided by the school or adequacy of preparing students for employment."

CSS Introduction
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet. CSS allows you to specify various style properties for a given HTML element such as colors, backgrounds, fonts etc.
Before You Begin:
Before you begin studying CSS, you should have a basic understanding of the following:
- Basic word processing using any text editor.
- Developing simple web Pages using HTML or XHTML.
If you are new to HTML and XHTML then we suggest you to go through the HTML Tutorial.
What is CSS?
CSS is the key presentational technology that is used in website design.
Prior to CSS, nearly all of the presentational attributes of HTML documents were contained within the HTML markup (specifically inside the HTML tags); all font colors, background styles, element alignments, borders and sizes had to be explicitly described, within the HTML.
As a result, developing large websites became a long and expensive process, since fonts and color information were repeatedly added to every single page of the website.
CSS solves these problems by allowing web developers to move much of that formatting information to a separate style sheet resulting in considerably simpler HTML markup.
Note: All the modern web browsers support all of CSS Level 1 and Level 2, and some aspects of newly introduced CSS Level 3 i.e. CSS3.
Origin of CSS
HTML was originally designed as a simple way of presenting information intended for sharing scientific documents and research papers online.
Later on, as the Internet expanded from the academic and research world into the mainstream, and became more media oriented, the presentation of the web pages has become considerably important for a website's success.
To improve web presentation capabilities CSS was introduced by World Wide Web consortium's (W3C). It was intended to allow web designers to define the look and feel of their web pages, and to separate content from document's layout.
Advantages of Using CSS
The biggest advantage of CSS is that it allows separating content of an html document from the style and layout of that document. It can thus make documents much easier to maintain and give much better control over the layout of your web pages, because content of an entire set of HTML pages can be easily controlled using one or more style sheets.
Here are some more advantages, why one should opt for designing website using CSS?
- CSS Save lots of time — CSS gives lots of flexibility to set the properties of an element. You can write CSS once; and then the same code can be applied to the groups of HTML elements, and can also be reused in multiple HTML pages.
- Easy maintenance — CSS provide an easy means to update document formatting and maintain consistency across multiple documents. By making one change to the website's CSS, elements in all the web pages will be updated automatically.
- Pages load faster — CSS enable multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content. It significantly reduces the file transfer size, which results in a faster page loading.
- Superior styles to HTML — CSS has much wider presentation capabilities than HTML, so you can give far better look to your HTML pages in comparison to the HTML presentational elements and attributes.
- Multiple Device Compatibility — CSS can also allow the HTML document to be optimized for more than one type of device or media. Using CSS the same HTML document can be presented in different viewing styles for different rendering devices such as computer screen, cell phones, printer, etc.
Tip: Now most of the HTML attributes are being deprecated and it's not recommended to use. So it's a good idea to start using CSS, to increase your website's adaptability and make them compatible to future browsers.

And includes $5 Million for Glycol Reclamation System
Green, OH: Thanks in large part to the work of Congressman Ralph Regula (R- Navarre), the
midday Akron-Canton Airport (CAK) to New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA) flight will become permanent, allowing for three daily round-trip flights between the cities. All flights between CAK-LGA are operated by AirTran Airways aboard brand new, full-size Boeing 717 jets. AirTran Airways commenced the popular New York flights in March 2003 with two roundtrips after CAK received a small community air service development grant from the US Department of Transportation. As a result of the success of the service, AirTran added a third roundtrip with temporary slots which could be lost at any time. Thanks to Congressman Regula's action the airport will obtain permanent slots for the third roundtrip.
"The public, local businesses and political leaders came together and expressed strong support to make this successful flight a permanent option for people in our area traveling to New York," said Regula. "Efficient air service to commercial centers like New York is critical to business development in our community," Regula added.

Committee, included a provision in the omnibus appropriations bill funding most federal agencies for fiscal year 2005 to authorize the Federal Aviation Administration to allocate permanent slots at LaGuardia Airport to allow the communities of Akron-Canton, Ohio and Newport News- Williamsburg, Virginia to have permanent third roundtrips to LaGuardia Airport. The bill was passed by congress over the weekend and will be sent to the President for his signature.
Airport Director Fred Krum considers the slot exemptions a big win for Northeast Ohio. "New Yorkbound travelers can rest assured that affordable fare, big jet flights will be available from Akron-Canton Airport. Congressman Regula understands how important AirTran Airways' LGA service is to our community, saving passengers millions of dollars every year. We are grateful for his efforts on our behalf."
"AirTran Airways very much appreciates the continued support and leadership CongressmanRegula provides to ensure quality low fare competition in Northeast Ohio and across the United States, "said Kevin Healy, vice president planning and sales. "Our New York service has demonstrated the positive economic impact of competition in the Akron-Canton community and we're very pleased we will be able to continue these popular flights and to serve the community."
Additionally, Representative Regula directed $5 million in funding for the first phase of a glycol
reclamation system at the airport. The funding will help Akron-Canton Airport meet new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates related to the discharge of the nontoxic deicing fluid into storm-water systems. Phase one includes the design and construction of a drainage system and aircraft waiting pad. The total project costs total $9 million and will be complete in 2005. "This airport has achieved remarkable growth in recent years and people in our area appreciate the convenient service it provides to travelers. I am pleased these funds will be used to help the airport continue its growth," Regula said.
The fast growing Akron-Canton Airport is currently in the third phase of the $60 million, five-year STAR expansion project, which focuses on a $24 million gate replacement and a new Shuffel Road interchange. The first two phases included longer runways, a new baggage claim wing, additional car parking and a food court with national brands. Additional airport information is available at www.akroncantonairport.com. Akron-Canton Airport, a better way to go.

The Internet offers a great deal of advantage to every type of business – small or large, start-up or experienced. It would be clever business to grab the advantages offered by the Internet by establishing a desirable website for the business.
"A proper website with aesthetic website design can increase the customer base by 50-100%."
Further, a website is essential to display products, convey opinions, provide information, analysing philosophies, etc. The list is never ending so a good website design gives an opportunity for an individual to make a change in the category or achieve success in the concerned field. However, any website won't suffice as search engines are very strict about their rankings and only stand out websites get the best results.
There are many online tools and platforms that help to create a website – some are too complicated and some are a waste of time. But, there are two traditional sources from which InfoMUSE web designers create a website.
To simplify explanation, WordPress is the most subtle, easy and the best way to develop a website. It provides great opportunity to get together a wonderful website with the help of numerous plug-ins, templates, tutorials, etc. The website design would come out in the most elegant manner based on the interests of the client. WordPress is best suited for any kind of website – regular website, blog or e-commerce.
A Hypertext Processor language that is used by professionals to create a website that needs great customization than the regular website. It is complicated and challenging – a type of work InfoMUSE web designers would love to handle day in and day out. Although, the process of PHP is long the results one can derive are exceptional. It is best recommended for high-end companies and e-commerce websites.
What you can expect from InfoMUSE?
What's working and what's not? Based on the category of the client website the design has to be selected so that the visitor can easily acclimatize to the particular theme or layout. Our experienced members will do ample research and submit various templates that work so that the client will have the option to select from successful templates.
Responsive Design
Now-a-days there are more Smartphone users than computer users. Therefore, it has become imperative for companies to create a website that can fit different screen sizes. It is understandable as no one likes to lose a client. A fully responsive design is the solution for screen size problem as a website will function the same but fits to different screens.
There are a lot of elements that contribute to the well-being of a website. Looking after the internal health while developing a website is very crucial and this is where our On-page optimization experts come in. They do the necessary improvements during the time of website designing so that the website would run with right health.
Engaging Design
All the technical aspects are nothing without a beautiful website. The visitor would first look at the layout and it has to attract his/her eyes. The websites we create are products of professionalism and years of experience in the field. Therefore, we ensure that every website created is pleasing to the eye and can engage the visitors to become customers.
All these features of InfoMUSE are authentic and the client can observe visible results within a short span of time. Further, a website created with all the elements mentioned above would be of high-standards, which the competitors could only dream of. It gives an edge to the client's business when it comes to internet marketing and development.

Goodwill Industries of Chicago was defrauded of at least $1.6 million in cash donations and property intended for the needy, according to lawsuits filed Wednesday against two of the charity`s former officials and nine others. The suits, filed separately by Goodwill and the Illinois attorney general`s office, charge that Harry Woodward, Goodwill`s former executive director, and Herman Kaye, a former consultant, devised a ``scheme to defraud`` the charity by diverting cash and property donations to three corporations they controlled.
In addition, the charity`s suit alleges that the former officials squandered a donation of a $1.25 million factory, which was destroyed in a fire last year and which was not insured.

At Fantasy Baseball Season's Quarter Pole, It's Time To Accept Patterns And TrendsMost teams in MLB have played close to 40 games at this point of the season, meaning the fantasy baseball season is one quarter over. If you've been waiting for that veteran to come around and start hitting, it's time to give up on the dream. If that pitcher still has an ERA way north of five runs per game, you may need to look elsewhere for wins and strikeouts. This is the time of the year when trends become permanent, really. Sticking too long with players headed for bad seasons only can hurt your team.

CNET First Look
Xbox Live update (December 2011)The next Xbox Live update completely overhauls the Xbox interface and allows for Bing content search, cloud saving, and a much more streamlined design.
Hey, what's going on everyone? I'm Jeff (Bakalar?) for CNET.com. Today, we're gonna check out the brand new update for Xbox Live that's coming out on consoles December 6th. So as you can see, it is a complete overhaul of what we're used to seeing on Xbox 360 and Microsoft is actually calling this update the most important they've ever done. Pretty strong words but it's appropriate because they've completely redesigned everything here. Now, if you play with some Windows phones or you've checked out what's going to be planned in Windows 8. That same sort of styling, graphical interface what they're calling Metro has a very consistent and you know, recognizable theme throughout all these different platforms so they're putting it on Xbox Live as well. As you can see, they've taken all the categories that you can access on your Xbos 360 and made them horizontal on the top of the screen. So there is a (Bing screen?), home, social, video, games, music, apps and (??) that we're getting just 'cause we have it early and then the settings screen as well. So everything sort of has this tile sort of situation going on. Really nice to use, really easy to navigate. So when we first saw the new update. Microsoft said that it was heavily focused on voice and motion functionality which is why Connect plays a huge part in the new update. So through Bing Search, users can use their voice to search for any sort of content they would want to pull up on their 360. So if you wanted to search for a certain movie, the Bing Search will bring up every platform that that movie exists on whether it's a game, a music video, a piece of music, another video, a movie, anything and even search Net Flix and other apps that have that sort of search functionality built in. Xbox, Bing Star Wars. Things like Net Flix now allow you to search by not only the movie but by something like a director or actor. Xbox, Bing Martin Scorsese. So the entire interface is totally able to navigated through your voice. You don't even really need to use the controller. Only for certain specific things. Any of the tiles you see here can be activated using your voice. Xbox settings. So there's a lot of new functionality that are really cool about this update. Me personally, I'm very excited about the Cloud Storage Game Save. Players can now select the Cloud Storage Device as their save device when playing games. So you can switch consoles and not worry about having to grab a (thumb drive?), bring those game saves with you from each console that you play on. So that's really cool. I found that switching profiles is a lot quicker, smoother and cleaner this time around. I don't know if you've ever tried that before. When you bring your (gamer tech?) from one console to another. It's about a 15 minute process. Now, that takes a long time to do the first time around but as soon as you've done it once, switching back and forth is really quick and it's really a pleasure to use. So I guess, the social integration has been a major talking point about the new update. Microsoft was very positive about incorporating something called Beacon which basically allow you to set up given time schedules for a certain game with all of your friends. So instead of having to send out a mass e-mail or a mass text message, you can assign a beacon for certain game and then push that notification back out through social media sites like Facebook. So now, when you first open up the new dashboard update, you're not gonna see as many new (absence?) you might expect. But Microsoft said that they're going to roll them out on a weekly basis so definitely keep checking out those (apps?) sections. Also, there's app market places where you can browse new content and they're really trying to give the feel of that sort of experience of this whole eco-system, this whole market place experience similar to what they've done with the Apple app store and platforms like that. So that's it, the update for Xbox 360 2011, the final dashboard update of the year. There's a lot to explore so make sure you check it out when it hits your Xbox 360 console on December 6th. I'm just Jeff (Bakalar?) from CNET.com. Thanks a lot.

From Liverpool, Untied Kingdom:
Is it possible for someone to have both type 1 and type 2 diabetes? If so, how could this be diagnosed?
It is not so much that any one person has both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but that they have elements of both types of diabetes. Type 1 is characterized by beta cell (the insulin producing cells) loss from autoimmune destruction and type 2 is characterized by insulin resistance (and some element of inulin deficiency that is not autoimmune). To have both, someone needs evidence of autoimmunity (beta cell antibodies) and insulin resistance. So, imagine someone who looks just like they have type 2 and has antibodies and someone with type 1 who has the need for an excessive dose of insulin, is obese and has high blood pressure, abnormal lipids, etc. They may need to take both insulin and oral pills.
For more information, see our section about Double Diabetes.

Looks like R.U.B.'s new Long Island location has found itself a pitmaster: A representative for the restaurant just confirmed Page Six's report earlier today that Matt Fisher has been tapped for the job. Fisher previously served as the pitmaster at B.R. Guest's Wildwood Barbecue, and is known in barbecue circles as the Hampton Smoker. R.U.B.'s new location, in East Meadow, is expected to open later this month.

Steven Shingler red carded for spear tackle against Cardiff Blues
Young Welshman Steven Shingler saw red on Friday night for a tip tackle against Cardiff Blues that resulted in a straight sending off for the London Irish midfielder. The Exiles played the rest of the game with 14, and ultimately went down 24-18 in the Heineken Cup second round game.
Shingler, a former Wales u20 and Scarlets player, had hoped to attract attention with the return to his homeland. "It'll be nice to go back to Wales and put down a marker," he said before the match.
"It'll be nice to show that I'm still here and in the mix and hopefully I can put in a good performance and get people talking about how well I performed and show them that I am one for the future,"
Unfortunately with less than 20 minutes on the park, Shingler got himself red carded by referee Jerome Garces for his tackle on Dafydd Hewitt. London Irish head coach Toby Booth stood by him.
"The way the game is being officiated around the tackle means if you are not precise you may pay a heavy price. The young lad is devastated. There was no malice in it. He is a young man coming back to Wales, wanting to impress," he said.
"The guy jumped up and if you are not quite in control of your emotions or are just a little bit off with your timing, that is the outcome. The safety of players is paramount. These are big physical people playing a very tough game.
"But if you are out by a fine margin you can pay a heavy price and we have seen that," he added.
Shingler was sent off at the same time as his brother, Aaron, scored a try for the Scarlets.
Are you okay with the red card coming out for a tackle of this nature, provided it's consistent?

You might recall me muttering about the fiendish plot to close 6 Music a while ago. Well, a lot of people got quite annoyed about it, lots of protests were made, and it seems that the BBC Trust have decided that paying attention to the audience is more important than listening to management droids, with the result that the official word is that 6 Music isn't going anywhere.
What the Trust have said is that if the BBC Manglement want to have a more general review of how they deal with digital radio in general, then that's a discussion that can be had, so things may change in the future. But for now, we get to keep the bestest music radio station ever, so there.

THOUSANDS of youths from Rivers Southeast, yesterday, at Bori, headquarters of Ogoni land, protested against violence in the senatorial district.
Led by Godwin Bazari, president-general of Ogoni Democratic Movement, they said their peaceful walk was in pursuit of the Ogoni non-violence struggle.
The protesters came from Khana, Gokana, Tai and Eleme (the four Ogoni councils) as well as Andoni, Opobo/Nkoro and Oyigbo, which make up the Rivers Southeast.
Some carried placards, which read: "Wike, leave Magnus Abe alone", "Wike, stop bringing guns to Ogoni", "Concentrate on governance, Wike", "Wike, go and campaign in Ikwerre" and "Wike, respect Magnus Abe and Barry Mpigi."
Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Oji Ngofa, who spoke, said the people had suffered, noting that crisis instigated from outside had brought them pains.
Calling on Wike to govern, Ngofa declared his support for the military presence in Bori, saying it's in the interest of the people, considering the level of insecurity.
Former member of the House of Assembly Legborsi Nwidadah, who represented Khana 1, said Wike should probe the attack on soldiers, instead of blaming his opponents.
Nwidadah expressed surprise that Wike had not condemned the arms recovered by the military at the home of a wanted ex-Niger Delta militant leader, Solomon Ndigbara, aka Osama bin Laden, in Yeghe-Ogoni, Gokana LGA
The leader of the protesting youths had earlier urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to ignore the pleas of the people of the Rivers Southeast senatorial district to conduct thorough investigations into the remote and immediate causes of the burning of the senatorial liaison office of Senator Abe in Bori and the attendant violence that occurred at the headquarters of Khana LGA (Bori), to bring the culprits to book.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas Tickets
How the Grinch Stole Christmas is based on one of the
best-known children's books by Dr. Seuss. It is a musical
extravaganza of rhymed verse and visual wonders. Watch in person as the Grinch schemes to
steal Christmas from the unsuspecting Whos and, in the process, learn what the holiday season is
all about.
More about How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas Information Continued
How the Grinch Stole Christmas stars the Grinch - a bitter, green-coated, cave-dwelling creature with a heart "two sizes too small," lives on snowy Mount Crumpit, a steep, 10,000 foot high mountain just north of Whoville. His only companion is Max, his faithful but dim dog. From his perch high atop Mount Crumpit, the Grinch can hear the noisy Christmas festivities that take place in Whoville. Envious of the Whos' happiness, he makes plans to descend on the town and, by means of serial burglary, deprive them of their Christmas presents and decorations and thus "prevent Christmas from coming". However, he learns in the end that despite his success in stealing all the Christmas presents and decorations from the Whos, Christmas comes just the same. He then realizes that Christmas is more than just gifts and presents. His heart grows three sizes larger, he returns all the presents and trimmings, and is warmly welcomed into the community of the Whos.

Little Mix star Jesy Nelson is on the mend after injuring her ankle while performing on stage in Malaysia.
The Black Magic singers were performing at Kuala Lumpur's Live at Life Center on Saturday night (21May16), and in the middle of doing a dance routine, Jesy managed to tear a ligament, forcing her to leave the stage halfway through the set.
Her bandmates Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock carried on the rest of the gig without her, and Jesy later took to Instagram to give fans an update on her condition.
She posted a close-up snap of her swollen ankle, and added in the caption, "Oh god guys it's always me. so so gutted I couldn't perform for the last part of the KL show tonight! Thanks to my 3 amazing girlies for carrying on without me!
"Torn the ligaments in my ankle but resting up for the Singapore show on Monday... Just maybe no dancing for me.

Spike comes clean
that was a very early test with the sole purpose of just getting some footage to Ben our vfx (visual effects) supervisor to see if our vfx plan for the faces would work. The clip doesnt look or feel anything like the movie, the Wild Thing suit is a very early cringy prototype, and the boy is a friend of ours Griffin who we had used in a Yeah Yeah Yeahs video we shot a few weeks before. We love him, but he is not in the actually film Oh and that is not a wolf suit, its a lamb suit we bought on the internet. Talk to you later
And with that, I apologize to all those I doubted and secretly looked down upon. Also, this proves to everyone once and for all, that despite popular belief, Im not the visual effects guy on WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE.

|God, the day I can casually drop that I just shot a Yeah Yeah Yeahs video is the day I stop being a virgin.

"I believe everything is educational, in that it says something about how one looks at the world. Children learn from context. They learn vocabulary and language not from a dictionary or worksheet, but from conversation, they learn songs not from reading music, but from singing with someone who loves to sing, and they learn hope and kindness and cooperation not from being told to have them, but by experiencing them." – Bill Harley

He hadn't forgotten the words to his section of the song, which he performed to rapturous applause from pupils, parents and teachers.

text: I recently got lent a Super Pass 2 (Original v2 one) by a mate. I currently have the original Supercard SD with a 1gb SD card I reprogrammed it, so I could use Metroid Hunters: First Hunt (Is there a way I can use the superpass without having to run the sram thing?) I followed the instructions on the Supercard e.g. Run xxxxx.gba first, then insert superpass, turn off ds then turn back on quickly. I can get into the NDS mode and run my games off the Supercard. But when I try to run flashme.nds I get two white screens???? Do I need to patch the flashme software like the games before it runs? I did flashme my original DS, but for some reason its not working this time.... Please help

Alfonso Soriano is the NL MVP! Kinda! And Other Bullets
The Wife is at a conference this weekend (starting yesterday), so I'm on solo daddy duty with The Little Girl. Translation? I'm getting in a lot of 'Sesame Street' time.
- Alfonso Soriano is the NL MVP! … if you exclude the 19 guys in front of him. Soriano finished tied for 20th in the NL MVP vote, which is swell. Soriano got three votes (in various positons) from Doug Padilla, Gordon Wittenmyer, and Hal McCoy (Dayton/Cincinnati area). Soriano had a great season, and he deserved some votes down the line. Good for you, Alf.
- (As an aside, ESPNChicago's Doug Padilla's votes were notable in two respects: he was the only non-Milwaukee writer to vote Ryan Braun first, and he was the only writer to not vote Buster Posey first or second (he had Posey third behind Braun and Andrew McCutchen). Gordon Wittenmyer's vote was also not without idiosyncrasies – he had Gio Gonzalez fifth, which was one of only two votes Gonzalez received at any slot, 1 through 10. None of this is a criticism of either vote – I just think it's interesting to see how the Chicago dudes voted.)
- I referenced it in the Dioner Navarro signing post, and didn't give it a ton of discussion because I'm sure it's water way under the bridge, here's a little background on the issue(s) the Cubs' new back-up catcher and Matt Garza had back in 2008 with the Rays. Here's an MLB.com article from the day the issue(s) happened. The short version is that the two had a disagreement on the mound in a game, and that disagreement spilled over into the dugout. Garza has since credited it as something of a turning point in his career – it's easy to forget that Garza used to have a reputation as a Zambrano-esque hothead. Now he's thought of as an excitable, supportive, quality teammate.
- Dropped in the comments by BN'er King Jeff, here's a great look at MLB's revenue sharing system. It's everything you wanted to know, and then some.
- BN'er Mike drops a really interesting comparison over at the Message Board: if Torii Hunter is worth two years at $13 million per, how much is Alfonso Soriano (who is under contract for two years and $18 million per) worth? How close are the two in value? The answer might surprise you.
- Miguel Socolovich heads to Japan after his brief time with the Cubs.
- A profile on Logan Watkins, who looks up to – and is compared to – Darwin Barney, the second baseman ahead of him on the depth chart, so to speak.
- The MLBullets at BCB talk about that AL MVP vote (and why it was plainly, obviously wrong (ok, here's the simple version: Trout's and Cabrera's offensive numbers are virtually indistinguishable (Trout's rate stats are slightly better, Cabrera's counting stats are slightly better), and Trout is vastly more valuable on the bases and in the field. So, there you go. Is it really that much of a stretch to say that Trout's the guy? I didn't even need to use the word "WAR").
- Don't forget: you've still got time to try and win one of those Egraphs. The contest ends tonight – don't miss out.
- Anthony Rizzo's walk-a-thon to raise money for smacking down cancer will be December 9. Details here.
