In the 'neutral sound' of our semi-anechoic chamber we precisely expose the cabin to a range of frequencies and vibrations, making certain that Discovery Sport sounds refined at every speed and across every surface.
In our climate chambers we can recreate some of the most challenging wind conditions Discovery Sport will face. Not just 240km/h blizzard winds, but high ambient temperatures and low airflow situations. Only by pushing all systems to their limits do we develop true reliability.
In real world environments and our climate chambers, we freeze vehicles to -40°C and bake them to 50°C. Key functions and systems are then scrutinised to our exacting standards. So even in the most remote locations, comfort and peace of mind are never far away.
From the icy proving grounds of Arjeplog, Sweden, to Dubai's unforgiving desert sands, we ensure our legendary all-terrain performance is innate in every vehicle. Prototypes are developed across approximately 8,500km of the most demanding off-road routes.
The lightweight, compact 9-speed Automatic Transmission provides optimum fuel economy and CO2 emissions, as well as greater control in low-grip conditions or when towing through the specially designed, ultra-low first gear.
Specifically designed for transverse applications, it is one of the most efficient and technically advanced ever used in a production vehicle. The higher top gear not only reduces fuel consumption but the lower engine revs improve comfort and reduce noise when cruising at a sustained speed.VIEW SPECIFICATIONS
A standard feature of all our 4 Wheel Drive (4WD) vehicles, the Torque Vectoring by Braking system enhances the Discovery Sport's agility and stability when cornering. The system constantly balances the distribution of torque between all four wheels, whether on or off-road, to improve grip and inspire confident steering.BOOK A TEST DRIVE
Optional on TD4 180PS and Si4 engines, Active Driveline delivers benefits in both on and off-road situations. In many on-road driving conditions, the system can disconnect drive to the rear wheels and provide maximum fuel economy. The system continuously monitors key vehicle and environmental parameters and will re-engage 4 Wheel Drive (4WD), should it be required, within 300 milliseconds.BOOK A TEST DRIVE
Discovery Sport's lightweight panels and components combined with advanced construction technologies not only deliver outstanding strength and ride refinement but also contribute to heightened efficiencies across the range of engines.
This standard feature, when activated, prioritises the most efficient vehicle settings including automatic transmission, Active Driveline and comfort features like heating and Air Conditioning in order to minimise fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
With its more streamlined profile, Discovery Sport is one of the most aerodynamic Land Rover vehicles. A unique 18" alloy wheel is available for optimised aerodynamics.
Land Rover offer specific derivatives that deliver the lowest possible CO2 emissions across our range - we call these our E-capability vehicles. A unique Blue SPORT badge on the rear of the vehicle denotes the lowest CO2 engines of the range which can be as low as 123g/km when you choose 2WD or 129 g/km on a 4 Wheel Drive (4WD) manual TD4 150PS diesel.
Discovery Sport is designed with a life cycle approach, aiming to minimise environmental impact by considering the entire life cycle of the vehicle. From manufacturing, through customer use to end-of-life recycling, each element of the life cycle has been analysed with a view to consuming fewer natural resources, using more sustainable materials and minimising waste.

The RPG games we are talking about here are non-electronic games, played by a group of people around a table with pencil, paper, and dice. You can read more about the company and our game project at byswarm.com.
Our founder spent years thinking of ways to enter the gaming industry. He worked on game designs. He worked on web sites for the hobby. He worked as a volunteer for multiple publishers. None of it was quite there, that ability to meet the need to create, the passion to contribute, and the opportunity to make measurable impact. Finally, while reading another book looking for inspiration while riding the bus home from work, it came to him. Why not give other people like himself the ability to get into the industry? There are thousands of creative people with something to offer, and no game company has tapped into that resource. With the business knowledge to put it together and the technical saavy to build it, Mike has started bySwarm Inc. to be that business where every aspiring game designer has a place to create, a place to contribute, and a place to make an impact.
Our customers will be role-playing game designers, game masters, and players.
We are game designers whether we add a house rule to a system we see as flawed or create a terrible enemy for the players to confront. All of us contribute a part to the strength of our hobby. All of us have something to add.
We come together from all over with our own experiences of gaming. Each member of the Swarm has unique ideas that can make the whole of what we do better. Why keep it to yourself? Be a designer. Be part of the Swarm.
The logo should incorporate some element of swarms or swarming creatures from nature - many insects, some birds, and perhaps even fish. The current site uses a bee theme, and we are likely to choose a similarly inspired logo. Since this logo is for a role-playing game publisher though, feel free to get a bit fantastic if you want to go beyond just the natural.
We will be producing the logo on a variety of products which means that we need to have a vector graphics-based version included with any non-vector-based versions. This also means that solid, 2- or 3- or 4-color logos (or submissions that include such a version) will likely rate higher.
The files we require are:

Todd Gurley downplays talk of being a potential Heisman Trophy candidate, but the Georgia running back can't contain a smile at the mention of one milestone that's probably unrealistic.
HOOVER — Todd Gurley downplays talk of being a potential Heisman Trophy candidate, but the Georgia running back can't contain a smile at the mention of one milestone that's probably unrealistic.
What would it be like to run for 2,000 yards like Boston College's Andre Williams did last season?
"If I could get 2,000 yards, that would be awesome," Gurley said Thursday at Southeastern Conference Media Days. "If the Lord would bless me with that, oh my gosh. That's going to be pretty hard to do in the SEC."
Pretty hard to do at Georgia, too, with a backfield that also includes Keith Marshall and other highly recruited players, including sophomore Brendan Douglas, freshmen A.J. Turman, Sony Michel and Nick Chubb, among others. But a player, especially one of Gurley's caliber, can dream.
Gurley was one of numerous key Bulldogs players who were injured during an 8-5 season.
He missed three games but still flirted with 1,000 yards and has run for 2,374 yards and 27 touchdowns in two seasons.
He and Alabama's T.J. Yeldon are the marquee tailbacks in a league that's short on experienced quarterbacks but has three 1,000-yard rushers returning from last season, not even counting Gurley or Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall.
There's also Arkansas' Alex Collins and South Carolina's Mike Davis among others. It's a deep group in a season when Georgia and other teams are breaking in new starting quarterbacks.
Gurley was asked if there's a friendly competition among the running backs.
"Who wouldn't want to lead the SEC in rushing yards?" he said. "I just go out there and do my game.
"I don't worry about what other people do. I definitely respect their game and I definitely watch their tapes. I show respect, but it's not really a competition."
Star running backs like Auburn Heisman finalist Tre Mason and LSU's Jeremy Hill have joined the trend of SEC running backs leaving early for the NFL.
Gurley will be eligible after this season.
"Whether Todd stays another year or not, I don't know," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "But if he stays healthy, I think he's one of the better players in America, no doubt about it. Hopefully, he stays healthy.
"I see that he's getting into great condition.
"If we continue to get him in great condition for this season, I think the sky's the limit for him."
Gurley doesn't think he'll necessarily shoulder more of the offensive load with the departure of prolific quarterback Aaron Murray.
Hutson Mason has taken the reins after starting the final two games after Murray sustained a knee injury.
"Hutson's a great quarterback," Gurley said. "He's going to throw and he's going to lead this team. We're going to run the same offense that we always do."
As for the Heisman, he said that's "just for the fans" and more of a team thing.
Becoming a contender might depend not only on Gurley staying healthy but on the Bulldogs' fortunes after falling hard from a No. 5 preseason ranking during an injury-riddled 2013.
"You have to be on a great team," Gurley said. "You can't be on an 8-5 team and expect to win the Heisman because it's definitely not going to happen. If I was able to reach that goal, I would definitely love to have it.
"It would be because of my teammates."

Are they or aren't they? The bishops as lobbyists
Nancy Pelosi is once again drawing the ire of Catholics for something she said about the leaders of her own church. This time, Pelosi is under fire for having the audacity to call the U.S. bishops "lobbyists."
The comment came in response to a question at a press conference about the bishops' strong backlash against the requirement for health care plans to cover contraception. Asked whether she agrees with the bishops' position on this, Pelosi said, "I have great respect for our bishops when they are my pastor. As lobbyists in Washington D.C., we have some areas of disagreement."
A host of bloggers were quick to latch on to the story, using the comment to question Pelosi's Catholic faith or worse, as evidence that she is "pure evil." Now I'm not necessarily a defender of Pelosi's politics, nor do I know enough about her personal spirituality to take a firm stand on her relationship with God, but I still have to ask: Is what she said really all that wrong?
Pelosi's comment comes shortly after the Pew Forum's report on religious lobbying, which cited the Catholic Church as one of the largest religious lobbyists in Washington, drew its own share of criticism. The bishops' conference complained that Pew's numbers were way off, as were its characterizations of what counts as lobbying or advocacy (Pew included, for instance, the bishops' Catholic News Service as an example of advocacy). [UPDATE: Pew Forum has notified me that they actually did not include CNS as an example of advocacy, but rather, the USCCB's publicly available financial statements, which were used in compiling the report, grouped CNS into the same budget category as some of its advocacy initiatives, making it impossible to distinguish advocacy and non-advocacy spending. See this new post for more information.]
But in a response to the Pew report, USCCB media relations director Sister Mary Ann Walsh never denied that the conference is engaged in government advocacy efforts. She simply clarifies the number of people doing it and the amount of money spent on it, which is much less than the Pew Forum calculated. So the bishops themselves don't seem to mind the "lobbyist" label, so long as it is applied accurately.
The word "lobbying" often carries a negative connotation, but not all lobbying is a bad thing. In fact it is critically important for church leaders and other non-profit groups to lobby at the federal and state levels as a way to ensure that the concerns of those who often don't have a voice in lawmaking are heard. Sure, lobbying has more than its fair share of corruption, but that only makes it more important for the "good" kind of lobbyists to get in the ear of legislators. So the Catholic bishops, and their conference staff at the state and national level, are indeed lobbyists, and saying so shouldn't be seen as an attack.
If I understand Pelosi correctly, her comments show that she draws a firm line between her relationship with the church as a person in the pews and in her work as a public official. As a lawmaker, she seems to be focused on laws that suit her entire constituency (and thus placate voters and those other lobbyists, of course) rather than simply doing what would most please the bishops.
It seems like Pelosi, whether you like her policies or not, doesn't let her interactions with the church in one area of her life influence them in another. Isn't that what the separation of church and state is all about?

OK, let's say Game Freak decides to take the plunge and finally give us the Pokémon MMO that so many people clamor for. It would be amazing! Or so we hope.
While obviously lots of things about a Pokémon MMO would be great, it's kind of funny to think about the crappy things that could come with that hypothetical game, too. Can you imagine microtransactions in a Pokémon game, for example? Ugh.
Dorkly illustrates some of the drawbacks of a potential Pokémon MMO in the comic below, and you know what? I'd be willing to tolerate all that stuff for an official MMO anyway.
You can read more Dorkly comics here. And remember...it's not like we're so far off from a Pokemon MMO anyway.``

$$A(x − h)^2 + B(x − h)(y − k) + C(y − k)^2 = 1$$
This is a rotating ellipse formula, where $h,k$ are the centroid of the ellipse. I have tried looking around for $A,B,C$ parameters, and I see that they are from Quadratic formula. But to be frank, I want to see how $A,B,C$ impact the orientation of the ellipse and I am looking for a more visual explanation for this question.

You wake up in the morning, your knees are stiff and your lower back aches. Sound familiar?
Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the United States. It is one of the most pervasive diseases in the U.S., according to the Center for Disease Control. Arthritis is characterized by pain and inflammation located particularly in the joints throughout the body. More than 10 million Americans have knee osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis.
Although osteoarthritis cannot be cured, there are ways to improve your overall health, fitness, and wellbeing by managing the pain associated with it.
Exercise is one of the most important lifestyle changes a person can make to aid in coping with the pain of osteoarthritis. Patients who regularly exercise will have improved mood, improved circulation, healing, and energy.
According to Jessica Black, N.D., a naturopathic physician based in both Portland and McMinnville, Oregon, exercise reduces pain by increasing the body's repairing abilities. Depending on the severity of osteoarthritis, some individuals may need specific exercise therapy with a qualified physical therapist to learn what types of exercise will help them most.
Here are some tips for easing pain associated with osteoarthritis using alternative therapies:
Change your diet to avoid inflammatory foods such as gluten, dairy, sugar, tomatoes, and potatoes. Include healthy fats such as cold-water fish and fish oils high in omega-3 fatty acids. Spicy foods—such as peppers—also have anti-inflammatory properties. Thoroughly chewing your foods can also help with digestion issues as well.
Eating regular small meals, avoiding sugar, eating more protein, and consuming less simple carbohydrates can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Maintaining balanced blood sugar helps to facilitate proper circulation and appropriate healing mechanisms in the body.
Some herbal anti-inflammatory nutritional supplements may help ease pain, such as turmeric and ginger. Some anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical medications can be harmful to the stomach, and in addition, have shown some negative consequences in heart disease. You should, however, seek your doctor's advice when taking supplements to avoid any complications with medication or to prevent an allergic reaction.
Regular exercise can prevent stiffness in the joints, as well as stimulate circulation and healing. Low-impact aerobic exercise, such as walking, using an elliptical machine, riding a bike, swimming, or water aerobics are softest on the joints while providing maximum health benefits. Other forms of exercise, such as Tai Chi or yoga, can help.
Besides promoting circulation and healing, exercise promotes weight loss, which is highly beneficial for people with osteoarthritis. For people with severe osteoarthritis, physical therapy may first be needed before you start an exercise routine.
Other Therapies
Besides those listed above, these therapies may be beneficial for treating pain associated with osteoarthritis:
- Acupuncture (or massage) can increase the body's natural healing circulation.
- Assistance devices (canes or a brace) may help take the pressure off the joint thereby relieving pain.
- A castor oil pack is an old-fashioned remedy to relieve swelling or inflammation, and it can be made at home in a compress to relieve joint inflammation. Castor oil is available at most health food stores.
- Over-the-counter pain reliever creams, such as arnica, may help.
- A lukewarm bath with lavender oil or Epsom salt.
- A cold pack after exercise can help prevent inflammation

LGM in intervention research
Mplus Discussion
Growth Modeling of Longitudinal Data
Arun Karpur
posted on Tuesday, November 21, 2006 - 1:26 pm
I am researcher working at the Florida Mental Health Institute, and I used to work with Hendricks Brown's PSMG group a couple of year ago.
At this time I am facing a conceptual issue with LGM and its application in intervention studies. Firstly, I am new to LGM as a first line user. I went through Curran and Muthen (1999) article to understand the application of LGM in intervention studies and in this, the example is regarding one control and one treatment group.
At FMHI we are desiging a study to compare three treatment conditions (one control and two intervention)and we hypothesize that treatment two > one > control. We plan to LGM as an analytical method for the study and I wanted to know how could we apply LGM in this context? or at least how could we examine ordinal treatment effects?
I'd really appreciate your guidance with this issue.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, November 21, 2006 - 4:56 pm
You can approach it as a 3-group analysis in line with Muthen-Curran, where you simply check if the treatment effects are ordered as you hypothesize. But the Muthen-Curran approach is really aimed at treatment-baseline interactions and is overly complex if such interactions are not hypothesized. A simpler approach is to have 2 dummy covariates for treatment1 against control and treatment2 against control and then let those dummy variables influence the slope after treatment starts.
Arun Karpur
posted on Wednesday, November 22, 2006 - 4:13 am
Thank you so much Dr. Muthen. Just to get this correctly, you recommend that in the LGM in addition to the intercept and slope, I can include two additional growth parameters - each representing the dummy variables. Or you are indicating that I can include these as covariates predicting the intercept and slope parameters for all the groups put together? Again thank you so much for educating me with this issue.
Johnny Wu
posted on Wednesday, November 22, 2006 - 8:14 am
here's an idea:
you could do a multiple group growth curve model with control = 0, tx1 = 1, and tx2 = 2.
hence, you could estimate a separate intercept and slope for each condition. further, you can regress the intercepts and slopes on intake variables and see if the effects are different across your treatment groups.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, November 22, 2006 - 10:01 am
Bengt suggested two options. The first option is multiple group analysis with three groups: control, treatment 1, and treatment 2. The second option is using two dummy variables to represent the three groups and regress the slope growth factor on those two dummy variables. There are no additional growth factors needed.
Arun Karpur

Thank you so much for the recommendations.

Hi folks,
I'm interested in determining if change in physical activity is associated with change in depression scores in a randomized control trial. I know that a stepwise multiple group approach (Muthen & Curran, 1997) is the way to go, but not quite what items need to contrained across groups. Please tell me what I am missing in my model. Oh by the way the distributions are non-normal and the analysis is taking a great deal of time to run. Thanks
grouping is rand (0=cont 1=trt);

Thanks for your response. Several questions: (1)Is it necessary to impose all constraint (2) If I'm exploring the relationship between growth of X on the growth of Y in the intervention and control group, how do you add the treatment effect. Slides 69-70 are only measuring the growth of 1 variable, but not the regression of one factor on another.

The PM&R Residency Training Program at University of Colorado School of Medicine is one of the oldest in the country, graduating many well known physiatrists through the decades. This three-year PM&R categorical residency training program traditionally accepts four residents per year, starting after a transitional year (PGY 1), and is fully accredited by ACGME.
Designed to nurture residents in a future career in an academic medicine or private practice, our residents are encouraged to be independent thinkers in order to meet the increasing and future needs of the disabled and those in need of rehabilitation. To that end, the philosophy of our program is to train residents to understand the full breadth of the field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

Ian Martin designs a straight bobsleigh track for the Winter Olympics in Russia
MONDAY Boom. Just turned a block of flats into an urban statement by pretending there's a Banksy mural hidden somewhere inside.
TUESDAY Sometimes I wonder if the advantages of working in Russia are worth all the arseache. On the plus side, there's a buccaneering dynamism reminiscent of our own glory days. Public servants and entrepreneurs cutting through the red tape, hammering out deals in an accelerated way during secret lunches. Also you get paid in heavily-used cash, which is great if you're self-employed. Tax seems much easier to calculate somehow if it's 'real money'.
But, my God, the clients. Humourless, narcissistic, sexually-conflicted macho babies or what? Terrified this door or that cladding material might be 'gay'. Always cross, always changing their minds. Today I'm meeting Ivan, project manager for the Winter Olympics bobsleigh park I've designed. Quite pleased with the final drawings. They wanted a narrative bobsleigh run, something that glorified Russia without being 'too camp'. I've got the track winding through a miniature Classic Russian landscape, all Orthodox cathedrals and rugged peasant cottages and Doctor Zhivago railway stations and Shostakovichy Modernism. On one bend the bobsleighs actually go through a scaled-down Great Gate of Kiev.
Ivan's office is dark. Mahogany and teak. Deep burgundy carpet, the colour of drying blood. A gun case. The one light touch is a row of mounted animal heads; they seem to be smiling together at some appalling joke. As usual, Ivan has his cowboy boots up on the butch desk and smokes a cigar, shirtless.
The good news is a suitcase full of fee. The bad news is they want a complete redesign. No curves on the bobsleigh track. Apparently it has to be absolutely straight now. When I ask why, Ivan fixes me with a stare that also seems to take in the massive paperweight on the desk, the deep burgundy carpet, the row of hunting trophies.
No bends. The riders would fall off, he says. It has been agreed that the depraved skintight suits and helmets of recent bobsleigh events must now be replaced with traditional fur coats and hats. The sleighs themselves will be modelled on Tsarist troikas. Without the horses, naturally: 'We are not idiots'. Just then Ivan's assistant comes in – he too is shirtless – and says something in heterosexual Russian. 'Ah yes, I am to remind you not to forget the Luge…' They both snigger. I leave with a heavy heart, and suitcase. It's unfair and unkind of people to pass judgement on anyone in the world of epic space who works for homophobic gangsters, especially me. Can anyone earn a living without homophobic gangster clients?
Abroad, it's all trillionaire misogynists, pampered fascists, corruptible party luminaries and drug overlords. At home, it's all of the above except they're living in fortified luxury in central London. Let's have a bit of perspective, please.
WEDNESDAY Redesign Gibraltar, giving it a 'Falklands Fiesta' feel.
THURSDAY To a delightfully informal kitchen supper in #CrouchEnd, which famously doesn't feel like part of London at all, it's more of a 'village'.
I've been asked to join a group of concerned, well-dressed opinion formers in an exploratory discussion about how best to 'refresh the #CrouchEnd brand'. The viognier is cool. The vinyl is warm. The conversation is subtle and layered, infused with oaky hints of received wisdom and undernotes of organic whimsy.
It's great to meet real people, to get away from the relentless umbrage mill of social networks. Apart from anything else, a media consultant pronouncing 'umami' in the style of Al Jolson doesn't really work on Twitter.
I'm committed to civic advancement, of course. But it's not clear where any brand-refreshing fee might come from. Somebody suggests an alternative, ironised 'Summer Fayre' to raise money. A Mini Boden tombola, for instance. Political shy with Gove's face on the coconuts. A whole new episode of The Great British Bake-Off with all the regular presenters, just not filmed. A non-violent Punch and Judy show with Rupert Murdoch instead of the crocodile, and 'linked blogposts' instead of sausages.
FRIDAY Struggling. My #CrouchEnd Reboot Checklist so far just reads 'Enhance village status with a pop-up duckpond that appears without warning every few days at a busy traffic junction'.
SATURDAY Day off. Money laundering and ethical stain removal.
SUNDAY In the recliner, deducting self for tax purposes.

The newly Certified program is TenGenCharts, a service for printing large, ten generation, fan charts. An example of a chart is shown above. You use their online software to create a chart from Family Tree and then take the file to a suggested service for printing.
On 22 July 2013, FamilySearch officially announced the first four Tree Share certified applications that are Personal Ancestral File (PAF) compatible. The four programs are briefly described as follows in the press release:
Ancestral Quest and Ancestral Quest Basic are now Tree Share certified. Ancestral Quest is the easy-to-use, full-featured family tree program that received the "Most Comprehensive Syncing" award from FamilySearch. The Windows versions of PAF were created from an earlier version of Ancestral Quest, so PAF users will feel right at home using the screens, reports, and other functions. Ancestral QuestQ includes scores of new features not found in PAF, such as its Ordinance Reservation and Tracking System, which helps users keep their personal data in sync with temple records. Whether you are a PAF user looking for an upgrade, or a new user getting started, Ancestral Quest is the ideal program to help you organize your family tree.Both RootsMagic and Legacy Family Tree have announced recent upgrades to their programs. RootsMagis Version 220.127.116.11 has implemented a new feature called Problems Alert. The program will problem check the individuals in your file in the background and display an alert next to the name of any person with a potential problem. Legacy Family Tree Version 7.5 is Tree Share Certified. If you have either of the two programs, you may wish to check the version number you have and download the most recent version. If you program is a whole version number behind the present versions, you may need to pay an upgrade fee for a copy of the most recent version. Incremental, between whole number, upgrades are usually free.
Celebrating My Family Tree and Me is Tree Share certified. Celebrating My Family Tree and Me offers elegant reports, charts, calendars, and customized printing; and unlimited storage of photos, sound clips, video clips, and other precious documents; generation of research books, slide shows, and scrapbooks.

Listen: Hummingbird
Local Natives (Frenchkiss Records, 2013)
If Martin Mull is right and "writing about music is like dancing about architecture," then there isn't much point to the music review. Except sometimes there are albums that are so structural the only thing we have to do is write our way up the scaffolding for the best view of the thing. This is the case with Local Natives' sophomore album Hummingbird.
Hummingbird positions the band solidly in the firmament of fellow shoe gazers Fleet Foxes, Animal Collective, and The Shins. Their first album, Gorilla Manor, was well received and garnered them comparisons to folk kings Mumford & Sons. But with their latest offering, Local Natives have turned inward for a quiet sound more reminiscent of Sigur Rós than the bouncing swells of Mumford & Sons.
The album opens with "You & I" and establishes early on a trend of prioritizing melodies over hooks. In less resonant or confident hands this could be a problem, but a committed listener is rewarded with a fully developed listening experience that is not about its parts so much as its sum.
Hummingbird isn't afraid to take its time, to become something great without worrying about its many soft moments of ache. The greatest risk of the album is its slow burn, but the rewards are many. Toward the album's end, the beat and the emotional refrain grow with the song "Columbia." Lead singer Kelcey Ayer wails, "Every night I ask myself/Am I giving enough?" and then "Am I living enough?"
This is an album to listen to in the car at night with a friend you've known for a long time. But let it be a warm night. Let the windows be open. Let your arm rest on the windowsill and let your hand float up and down with the wind and Local Natives as conductor. And try to hold on to the lovely, aching melodies as they climb higher and higher beyond the skyline.

Twilight's First Cannes
Robert Pattinson walked the carpet at the premiere for On The Road last night in support of girlfriend Kristen Stewart and his boy Tom Sturridge. They arrived separately; he first, and she with her castmates later. I don't hate this Balenciaga dress but I also don't love it. It's the colour, maybe? Just not sure it's doing all that much for her. Still, attitude always helps. Stewart was rather vampy along the line. Some even commented that she seemed to be throwing down a Jolie leg.
Stewart was in jeans and a leather jacket by the time Pattinson joined her at the after-party. They were in great spirits. At one point he was hugging her protectively. And she kissed him on the cheek affectionately when he went off to use the washroom...where he was followed by his security to block off other pissers. At 230am, they sent for 8 more bottles of champagne. It was a good, long night.

Harris faces fresh allegations and jail
Rolf Harris will almost certainly be jailed and could die behind bars after being found guilty of indecently assaulting four girls, including his daughter's childhood friend.
The 84-year-old is also facing fresh allegations and possible police investigations in both the UK and Australia.
Harris was labelled a "sinister pervert" during his eight-week London trial and on Monday, after eight days of deliberations, the jury unanimously backed the prosecutor's assessment.
He will be sentenced on Friday but Justice Nigel Sweeney has already made clear he can expect to go to jail.
"Given the conviction on all 12 counts, it's inevitable that the type of sentence uppermost in the court's mind is a custodial sentence," the judge said.
And the legacy of his decorated 50-year career is already being purged.
Harris has been stripped of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Fellowship he was awarded two years ago and will likely lose his CBE from the Queen.
In Australia, he's been kicked out of the ARIA Hall of Fame and could lose his Order of Australia.
Harris's hometown of Perth is moving to tear up monuments honouring the now convicted sexual predator and his old school has removed his paintings.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he was "gutted and dismayed" by the news of Harris's guilt.
"It's just sad and tragic that this person who was admired seems to have been a perpetrator," he said.
There could be more to come.
A number of women have come forward since Harris first appeared in court and UK child protection charity NSPCC says it's received calls from 13 people who claim they fell prey to the performer.
The Metropolitan Police has confirmed a number of new allegations are being considered.
Harris is the second person to be convicted under the UK's Operation Yewtree which was established after the Jimmy Savile sex scandal.
British tabloids are reporting Savile once took Harris on a tour of the Broadmoor psychiatric hospital in Berkshire.
Alison Pink, who was abused by the notorious BBC DJ there as a teenager, says the visit was timed as female patients were getting undressed at night "so he and Rolf could look at them".
It's claimed another Harris victim wrote to Buckingham Palace in 2005 when the artist was painting a portrait of the Queen.
The woman allegedly wrote: "He ruined my life. You need to know what kind of man you've let near the Queen."
Harris sat unmoving in the dock at Southwark Crown Court on Monday as the foreman read out "guilty" 12 times.
Afterwards, the 84-year-old disappeared into a small room with his legal team before being joined by his wife, Alwen, and daughter Bindi.
The one-time royal favourite was crestfallen as he walked slowly from court holding hands with Alwen and Bindi.
He refused to answer questions or apologise to his victims.
Outside the court, deputy chief crown prosecutor Jenny Hopkins praised the victims who courageously took on the star.
"Rolf Harris used his status and position as a world-famous children's entertainer to sexually assault young girls over a period spanning 18 years," Ms Hopkins told a large media pack.
DCI Michael Orchard said Harris committed offences "in plain sight of people as he thought his celebrity status placed him above the law".
The Australian even featured in an educational video warning against the dangers of child abuse in the mid-1980s when he'd already been a sex pest for 15 years.
The Kids Can Say No video featured Harris and kids singing: "You run your own body, let me run mine."
Harris was convicted of 12 indecent assaults against four girls in the UK between 1968 and 1986. The main victim was a childhood friend of Bindi.
The jury rejected the entertainer's claim they had a 10-year consensual affair that only started when she turned 18.
Harris was also found guilty of assaulting Australian woman Tonya Lee at a London pub in 1986 when she was 15.
He "forcefully" assaulted a seven or eight-year-old girl in the late 1960s at a community centre near Portsmouth and "firmly" groped a teenage waitress at a celebrity event in Cambridge in the mid-1970s.
Another six women gave supporting evidence during the trial that Harris abused them in Australia, New Zealand and Malta between 1969 and 1991.
Harris wasn't charged over those alleged incidents because they occurred outside the UK.
Jurors didn't get to hear from a further nine women who claim the entertainer harassed them, including one alleged victim who says she was groped on live TV.
After his conviction another woman went public.
Louise Anton, from Perth, said in 2008 she objected to being groped by Harris at a function and the veteran entertainer allegedly replied: "Yeah, but it feels good, dunnit?".
Harris, who remains on bail, will return to Southwark one final time on Friday to be sentenced.

People tend to lose perspective in any discussion of Apple shares. Somehow we are all experts, but we really have no idea what is going on behind the scenes.
Apple's recent earnings announcements and product releases serves as a perfect example of how irrational investors have become. I will concede that Apple's Q4 was not on par with what I have come to expect (and I'm long the stock.) We can also agree that the macro climate has not exactly been favorable to even the best tech companies.
Amazon reported a loss of $274 million and Google didn't necessarily excite anyone with its report, accidentally released as it was. On a similar note, Microsoft missed both its top and bottom line estimates of $18.11 billion and $0.65 per share, which ended its streak of revenue growth spanning four quarters.
Nonetheless, Apple's results are what everyone remembers. It was a reminder that the company is led by humans, not magicians. Was the "disappointment" (if you can call it that) a onetime blunder or a sign of something worse? During the quarter, Apple generated revenue of $36 billion and $8.2 billion in profit, or $8.67 per diluted share. Those figures in 2011? Revenue: $28.3 billion. Profit: $6.6 billion. Per share earnings: $7.05.
The iPhone saw an impressive year-over-year unit growth of almost 60%. Ipad sales were up 26%. The company saw tremendous growth across all of its entire product lines, but critics scream "cannibalization" at every turn. It doesn't make sense.
Apple cares more about how it is executing its business than it does about what we think it should be doing. That's the way it should be. Expectations were so high (and continue to be) to the extent that 30% revenue growth was not enough to keep the street happy. Competition may be catching up a bit, but it is catching up because Apple is leading. The gap may be narrowing a bit but they will never have the logo and what it stands for.

The Americus Times-Recorder
AMERICUS — Gabby Buck's RBI-single in the ninth inning was the difference as Georgia Southwestern beat Carson-Newman 4-3 to sweep Saturday's doubleheader.
Robyn Butler's two-run double was part of a five-run third inning as GSW (16-20) on the first game 6-3.
Jessica Chewning's RBI-double and a Mason Moreland RBI tied Game 2 at 2-2 in the fourth, and Nichole Griffin tied the game again in the eighth.
Moreland, Griffin, Heather Hodge and Jessica Martin all had two hits in the game; Hodge also doubled.
Casey Burns worked four innings and allowed two runs — one earned — on six hits for a no decision; Katie Maddox picked up the win, pitching the final five innings. She allowed one run — unearned — and two hits, and she struck out three and walked none.
Christie Shankle got the win in Game 1, pitching a complete game, allowing three runs on 10 hits. She walked five and struck out two. Lyndi Duff had two hits and two RBI to lead GSW.
Carson-Newman (21-10-1) was 8-2 against Peach Belt teams this season entering Saturday.

How to Spot a Cowboy
If they come knocking because they 'just happen to be in the area' - be wary. Genuine Marshalls Register Installers will never cold call. If they claim to be genuine Marshalls Register Installers, check with us, or use our installer search by county to validate who they are.
If they say they can 'start tomorrow' - be wary.
Reputable installers are in demand and may require several weeks' notice.
Never accept a verbal estimate.
Insist on a written quotation. Quotes should be written on headed paper with an address and telephone number, not just a mobile number.
If you accept the quote, request written confirmation.
A 'cowboy' will be reluctant to do this, however a written contract is essential.

Anyone who has been paying attention in recent decades knows that large segments of American Catholic culture -- especially in academia -- operate with a kind of "don't ask, don't tell" policy when to comes to a variety of doctrinal and social issues. This is the reality, for example, that shaped the fierce debates about the late Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Consitiution Ex Corde Ecclesia, addressing issues linked to Catholic education. So it isn't news that there are plenty of Catholic teachers who are not true believers or even believers when it comes to important chunks of the Catholic faith.
However, an increasing number of Catholic institutions have begun requiring their employees to sign covenants in which they vow not to openly oppose church teachings. In effect, these covenants spotlight the fact that private schools and other church institutions are, in fact, private associations. Membership is voluntary and, to be blunt, no one has to teach at a Catholic (or Mormon, or Muslim, or Episcopal, or Baptist, or Unitarian) school. People choose to do so.
This brings us to a Religion News Service story that represents another symbolic front in the culture wars battles inside American Catholicism. Here's the opening of the report:
NORMANDY, Mo. -- A popular music teacher at a Catholic Church was fired after church officials learned that he planned to marry his male partner of 20 years in New York, where same-sex marriage is legal.
The teacher, Al Fischer, confirmed that he was fired Feb. 17 from his job of four years at St. Ann Catholic School. When asked to comment on his firing, Fischer declined and referred to a letter emailed to his students' parents shortly after his termination.
In the letter, Fischer tells parents of "my joyful news, and my sad news" -- the former being his plans to marry his longtime partner in New York City, and the latter, "that I can't be your music teacher anymore." Fischer's partner, Charlie Robin, told the Post-Dispatch that the couple's relationship was not a secret at St. Ann, and that Fischer was fired after a representative of the St. Louis Archdiocese overheard him talking to co-workers about his wedding plans.
No surprises, so far. The crucial information arrives a few paragraphs later:
Asked about the Archdiocese's role in the firing, a spokeswoman replied in an email that the Archdiocese "fully supports the action taken at St. Ann Parish School as it is in full compliance with the Christian Witness Statement signed by every educator in the Catholic school system."
The Christian Witness Statement, which educators sign when applying for work in the archdiocese, says all who serve in Catholic education should, among other requirements, "not take a public position contrary to the Catholic Church" and "demonstrate a public life consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church." ...
The Roman Catholic Church does not condemn homosexuals who remain "chaste," but it takes a strong stance against same-sex marriage and homosexual acts.
Robin confirmed that his partner had signed a witness statement.
The key to the story is that Fischer and Robin insist that they were open about their relationship with SCHOOL OFFICIALS, but not with archdiocesan officials. This underlines the actual news story here -- which is not really about gay marriage.
The key is the existence of these two separate cultures, the academic culture and the church culture. This trend is highly relevant, for example, in coverage of the disputes about the Catholic schools that fiercely oppose the new Health and Human Services regulations and the Catholic schools that do not.
Thus, one academic culture cares that Fischer signed the Christian Witness Statement and the other does not. The teacher thought he was "out" at one level of church life, but not at another. Then the two Catholicisms clashed. That's the real story here.
Meanwhile, religion-beat veteran Tim Townsend added the following practical, and sobering, note to the Post-Dispatch coverage, in one of his "Keep the Faith" columns:
The church believes that if it allows the people who work for it to behave in a way that's contrary to church teaching, that behavior could be emulated by other Catholics. The perils are great for both sides.
Large institutions that hope to attract talented employees -- Catholic hospitals that want to hire the best nurses, for instance -- may see an economic benefit to being less demanding about the behavior of their employees. But at what cost to the consistency of their mission?
Those whose lives don't conform to the deeply held and First Amendment-protected beliefs of the religious institutions they work for can't be surprised when that institution lets them go for publicly flouting those beliefs.
Do Catholic institutions actually want to defend the Catholic faith? That's a story. The fact that this particular teacher signed a doctrinal covenant, and then was fired for not honoring his vow, is the news hook -- but not the heart of the conflict.

I know Reef Entertainment announced last year that they'd be making video games based on the Rambo series. I read it here. It registered in my consciousness. Last month, when the company announced the game would be making an appearance at GamesCom in Germany, my mind kind of skipped over it, like it wasn't a real thing. Now we've got screenshots, and not only is Rambo: The Video Game real, it doesn't look half bad.
It's just scenery shots, for now, but damn if they haven't captured the look and feel of the scenery from First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II and Rambo III, the gigs that would eventually lead to Sylvester Stallone starring in a video game we reviewed not a half-hour ago.
Now what we need is for the developers to use the Rambo from the animated series in these detailed environments, and we'll have the best PC and console game ever.

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

Run-in analysis
More information about the columns can be displayed by hovering the mouse cursor over the column titles in the table above.
Note: for each team, the opponents' PPG values above are calculated based on the current PPG (Points Per Game) of each of the team's opponents in the league's regular season, taking into account whether the opponent has been played at home or away (previous opponents' PPG) or will be played at home or away (future opponents' PPG).
The opponents PPG values taken into account in the calculation are the away PPG for all opponents played (or to be played) at home, and the home PPG for all opponents played (or to be played) away.
For example, let's assume that a team has 4 matches left to play in the regular season:
Match #1 to be played at home against Opponent A
Match #2 to be played away against Opponent B
Match #3 to be played at home against Opponent C
Match #4 to be played away against Opponent D
The value calculated for the future opponents' PPG in that example will be the average of the away PPG of Opponent A, the home PPG of Opponent B, the away PPG of Opponent C, and the home PPG of Opponent D.
The objective is to evaluate PPG of previous and future opponents based on whether such opponents were faced (or will be faced) at home or away, as there may be a significant difference between a given opponent's results achieved in their home matches and those achieved in away matches.
For more information on which PPG values have been taken into account in the calculation for each opponent, please move the mouse cursor over the opponents' PPG values.

It's very likely that Future is from another world, because the music he's put out in the past year is on a different level. Produced by Mike Will Made It, "Sh!t" is the latest single off his upcoming November release Honest.
It sounds like nothing else I've heard lately—maybe like Meek Mill with a really bad cold, better production, and less yelling. And I especially enjoy all the parts where you can hear Future yelling "space!" in the background, because yes, the man is most likely from space. Future also earns bonus points for consistently fly style and dating Ciara. [Spotify]

Autoblog noted it. PickupTruck.com noted it. So we're not gonna note that the Sterling Bullet didn't debut at Geneva today, but rather at the National Truck Equipment Association Work Truck Show in Indy. A division of Freightliner (itself, of course, part of the German-American Hybrid) with a history that dates back a century, the resurrected Sterling brand's new Bullet shares many parts with the Dodge Ram 4500/5500 that bowed at Chicago. The key difference between the Dodges and the Sterling, besides cosmetics, is the standard Power Take Off package on the Bullet, which allows all manner of worksite doodads to be run by the stonking Cummins diesel. Sterling also touts its commercial-truck-specialist dealer network as a plus. Will it fly?

Channel Check: Energy Drinks
Line extensions are officially the name of the game here, as we see why the combination of Coke distribution and Monster Energy is so potent: look what it's done with Monster Rehab. It's now bigger than Rockstar, according to IRI. Meanwhile, Java Monster and Red Bull Total Zero are also huge products in their own right, filling out strong market niches. Don't count out Rockstar, however – its Recovery, while down a bit from a growth perspective, is still one of the best-selling tall cans in the country. It's hard to say what happens to Xyience from here – the growth rate has slowed, at least in the channels represented here, although it has a broad reach in GNC and other stores.
