NCAA votes to allow Big 12 to hold a football title game
SAN ANTONIO - The Big 12 will be allowed to hold a football championship game in the future if it wants to under a rule change approved at the NCAA's annual convention.
The change scraps the requirement that leagues have 12 members and play in two divisions in order to hold a title game. The new rule lets a smaller league play a title game pitting its top two teams, provided it plays a round-robin regular season schedule as the Big 12 does now.
The vote by the NCAA Division I Council passed 7-2 on Wednesday. The Atlantic Coast Conference and the American Athletic Conference voted against it and the Pac-12 didn't vote.
The 10-member Big 12 is the only major conference that doesn't play a football title game.

Watch out, Warren! Your name is getting kicked around in Washington as the common-sense financial wizard the nation needs in these troubled times.
USA Today's On Deadline blog notes that Boone Pickens used a National Press Club appearance today to call on Buffett to manage all those nasty assets the federal government would get from bailed-out financial institutions under the Treasury's proposed rescue plan.
Why? Buffett would use his investing instincts to eventually sell those debts at a profit after the housing market and economy recover and "risk" isn't such a four-letter word in the financial markets. As Pickens puts it, "If you could get Warren Buffett to manage the assets, I guarantee we the people would come out of this making some money."
Although Buffett is supporting Barack Obama for president, John McCain is also talking about a possible Buffett role in the bailout. NBC's First Read reports the Republican candidate told an Irish-American group in Scranton today that the Paulson plan needs a lot more oversight in the form of a "high-level oversight board." That board should be "bipartisan, have qualified citizens who have no political agenda but the protection of taxpayers and the financial markets. People like Warren Buffett, who supports my opponent, Gov. Mitt Romney, maybe (New York City Mayor) Michael Bloomberg, an independent, to oversee this."

Governor Spitzer's Proposed 2008-2009 Budget
Governor Spitzer's 2008-2009 proposed budget, facing a large deficit, includes initiatives to reduce projected costs in the Medicaid program, redirect program resources, and expand access to health insurance coverage. Technically, the Legislature is required to act on the proposals by April 1, although that date has frequently been missed as the branches of government quarrel over issues and funding.
Initiatives of the proposed budget include:
- continuing the focus on implementation of the Berger Commission recommendations for rightsizing the hospital and nursing home systems
- extending provisions of the Health Care Reform Act providing financing through surcharges and assessments for various health care initiatives to 2011
- limiting cost-of-living increases in Medicaid rates by reducing the increase by 35% for hospitals, nursing homes, and home care services
- rebasing the hospital inpatient reimbursement rates over a four-year period to reflect 2005 costs
- revising the methodology for distribution of a pool of funds for hospital care for the uninsured
- modifying the physician graduate medical education pool distribution methodology and enhancing support for training in primary care settings
- eliminating 2007 increases in nursing home reimbursement that have not received federal approval
- modifying the home care reimbursement methodology for certified home health agencies to foster Medicaid savings
- phasing-in reimbursement to clinics based on the intensity of services provided rather than on a per-visit basis
- focusing on care coordination for certain high cost cases and patients with co-occurring disorders
- increasing physician fees over a multi-year period
- reducing payments for prescription drugs, expanding the preferred drug program and establishing a program for specialty drugs
- expanding access to health insurance coverage through implementing a Family Health Plus buy-in program and expanding Child Health Plus
- revising outpatient reimbursement in the OMH & OMRDD systems, redesigning the delivery of OASAS chemical abuse detoxification ser-vices, and continuing COLA rate increases for an additional three years for providers licensed by these agencies
- revising the system for patient transportation authorization, including contracting with a transportation access manager, and developing lower cost transportation alternatives in high-volume areas.
If you require further information regarding the information presented in this Legal Alert and its impact on your organization, please contact any of the members of the Practice Area.

Today Fr Thomas Anchukandam (in the pic, the top left corner) laid down office as the Provincial of Bangalore province to let Fr Joyce take it up. Fr Anchu has always been acclaimed as a straight-forward man. He came across to me as a man of principles and values. He clearly had his priorities sorted out. Most importantly he never budged when it was a matter of values and convictions. Even as the Provincial he did stand for what is right and demanded that others too follow the same - "without fear or favour!" It goes without saying that such a stance where "credibility, transparency and accountability" are stressed, things are never rosy or comfortable - neither for the one leading the charge nor for the one from whom it is demanded!
In his last Circular (TJA/Cir-LXIII.01/2015), he gives a very beautiful message, which I reproduce here below:
In his last Circular (TJA/Cir-LXIII.01/2015), he gives a very beautiful message, which I reproduce here below:
Ludwig von Pastor (1854-1928), the author of the History of the Popes, was known for his scientific approach to history and unafraid to speak the truth even if it meant offending the carefully nurtured image of the papacy despite its very human aspects. He believed that the fact of the Popes being the Vicars of Christ, did not insulate them from reflecting in their persons and in their decisions the flaws of their times. Naturally enough this caused some unease in the spacious corridors of the Vatican despite the generally open approach of Pope Leo XIII himself.
One day Pastor received an invitation to tea by the Secretary of State. After the initial pleasantries, the Secretary of State finally came to the actual reason for his having invited Pastor to tea. The Cardinal told Pastor: "It is a great contribution that you will be making to the Church and to the world when you complete your History of the Popes. But remember that in writing the history of the Popes you should be guided above everything else by charity!" Pastor who understood that what was intended by the Prelate was that he should leave out the more embarrassing or the less edifying aspects of the papacy, answered without the least hesitation: "But the Lord did not say "I am charity", but He did say "I am the Truth!" Indeed Pastor knew, as also anyone else dealing with human institutions despite their claims to lofty ideals, that misplaced charity only helps to cover up a multitude of defects! (emphasis added)The choice, I think is very clear: choose values/take a stand and be ready to pay the price (but let everyone reap a rich harvest later) or choose passivity and breed mediocrity, now and for ages to come!

A New Jersey Republican state Senate candidate apologized for a tweet offering a sex tip to women Thursday, after defending it to the Philadelphia Inquirer editorial board.
"Women, you increase your odds of keeping your men by being faithful, a lady in the living room and a whore in the bedroom," wrote Phil Mitsch on Sept. 2. Mitsch has over 44,000 followers and calls himself on his Twitter profile, "America's Leading Economic, Real Estate, Lending and Motivational Coach." He often tweets "tips" to his followers. A recent "tip" said: "Rumor Tip - rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools and accepted by idiots !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He tweeted Thursday, " I did not defend "my" tweet but rather Jerry Hall's, Mick Jagger's ex-wife, "quote" that I paraphrased. They were her words !!!" Jerry Hall famously quoted her mother as saying, "to keep a man, you must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom."
Mitsch's first instinct was to defend the tweet. "That's a great tip," he said to the Philadelphia Inquirer editorial board Wednesday. "That shows the utmost respect for women. . . . What I was trying to say to men was, 'Men, look, if you got to go out and play around and you can't be honest with a woman and respect her, then you're better off just doing pay, play, and get the 'F' away.'"
Thursday morning, in an interview with the Inquirer, he still defended the tweet: "I am definitely not apologizing for those two tweets at all...They were relationship tips. 'Stud in the bedroom' and 'whore in the bedroom,' those are timeworn adages."
However, he apologized Thursday evening in a statement: "I would like to sincerely apologize for any offense I may have caused anyone, particularly women, as a result of a Twitter post that has recently been reported."
Mitsch faces Democratic state Sen. James Beach November 8. Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 2-1 margin in his district, adds the Inquirer.
On his website, Mitsch calls himself "America's leading financial crisis, real estate and mortgage expert, and the real estate industry's all time top producing residential realtor."

"Cloud Computing technology is quickly transforming computing into a utility, making Telcos logical providers for cloud services," said Barry X Lynn, Chairman and CEO, 3Tera, Inc., as it was announced today that KDDI, Japan's second largest telecommunications carrier, is using the 3Tera AppLogic cloud computing platform to deliver the next-generation IT platform through their new "KDDI Cloud Server Service" offering.
"KDDI has a reputation of technology innovation and leadership, so being at the core of their cloud service is a big recognition for the capability of 3Tera's AppLogic cloud computing platform," added Lynn.
IDC Japan's Senior Communications Market Analyst, Akiko Kawakami, points out in her report, 'KDDI's Next Generation IT Infrastructure "Cloud Server Service": Will It Accelerate User Migration to Managed Services?' (IDC. August, 2009): "The field of Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) is receiving much momentum from the fact that no IT assets are needed and it alleviates the work involved in the procurement and introduction of IT infrastructure. IDC believes that KDDI's new service has what it takes to fulfill the expectations of user companies embracing cloud services."

Initial offerings include virtual systems and virtual private data centers run at the KDDI Telehouse domestic data centers. This allows KDDI to offer both Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Platform-as a-Service solutions, where customers can run their existing applications on the IT platform or use KDDI's prepared applications to significantly lower their initial investment and operational costs. Details on the service and pricing are available on KDDI's official Web site.
Lynn added, "We are excited to have our distribution and hosting partners in Japan - Net One Systems and Xseed - who by making their expertise available and keeping close contact with the customer were instrumental in the implementation on these new services." 3Tera's leading cloud platform, specifically designed for hosting and service providers today, offers Telcos a production-proven turnkey platform, powering data centers around the world. By choosing AppLogic, service providers gain access to additional functionality such as visual applications infrastructure editor, real-time scalability, system resource management, comprehensive monitoring and even critical features such as business continuity, disaster recovery.

Success is determined by being unique—by being yourself, as the cliché goes. And to be unique, you don't need to be born with luxury and guidance… you need only to utilize all your resources. Well if you're not cheating, you haven't utilized all your resources. Now, to clarify, to be successful, one doesn't need to cheat. But why not? Everyone wants his advantage—his chance to stand out in an oversaturated pool of competitors—and what is cheating? It is precisely that: gaining an advantage. It is unfair, sure, but what advantage is fair? The children of the privileged receive resources for anything they want and need—tutoring, money, connections, etc.—and that's considered fair. To be born into a wealthier society or to be born with more intellect or attractiveness or strength… that, to many, is fair. It may be argued, I suppose, that unlike conventional cheating, to be born into a privileged society is not deliberate. But success is blind. The man who cheated his way to the top will have achieved no less than the man who painstakingly, unnecessarily worked his way to the top. And do you know what else is blind?—Morals. The typical interpretation of blind justice is that the same morals apply universally to all situations. But there is something else to blind justice. It is blind: oblivious, not knowing where to turn next and unsure of its previous decisions. Its morals change suddenly. The same morals that apply to one situation may not fit the next, and so it changes its morals. It is justice. And its blindness speaks a simple truth: that morals do not truly exist.
It is redundant to point out the subjectivity of morals. To do so would be inadequate, as although one may not see eye to eye on the same topic as would his counterpart, while not all may be for gay rights, many beliefs are founded on the same basis. Pro-life, love, fairness, etc. What is different is one's approach on how to get there. It may be said, then, that morals are not nearly as subjective as popularly discussed. They are not even largely determined by free will. Morals are our natural, encoded form of navigation. We do not understand why we have morals such as supporting life, and that is because we did not choose them. We did not rationalize morals, because they are not rational. At first thought, the death of a million to save one may sound ill-conceived; the death of one to save a million may be worse, however, if that one might save many more than one million in the future. But upon further thought, why would saving one group over the other actually be right, and its alternative choice wrong? Is it wrong to dismantle government and support anarchy? In purely rational terms, these are neither wrong nor right. The universe flows, and such is life….
With the realization that morals are as meaningless as anything out there, one should detract their importance and learn to go beyond them, into the realm of reason. In reason, there is cheating. There is the realization that an advantage, no matter through what means, is unfair. And that's okay. Advantages are meant to be used. Resources are meant to be embraced. Cheating, therefore, through those syllogisms and for its efficient energy conservation, may be one of the most reasonable approaches to success.
To clarify, not everyone should cheat, just as not everyone is meant to be rich or intelligent or good-looking. Society requires a large average: that which cannot see past nature's instincts into pure reason, that which settles for necessities and lacks potential to go beyond. But for those who do have the potential, they should use it. They form an elite section of society, and they win. If they feel generous, they will donate back to society. And if not, such is life….

When we wrote about our experience of The Nut, we mentioned doing a spot of shopping in Stanley. We received several requests from readers for more information, so we searched back through the image files documenting our retail therapy session in north west Tasmania. It seemed a logical progression to publish them here for everyone else to see as well.
Go Shopping in Stanley
Just randomly (in no particular order or preference) these are some of the shops we discovered and photographed…
- Providore 24
- Sticks and Stones Shells and Bones (loving that business name!)
- The Brown Dog Stanley
- Touchwood Cottages and Craft Gallery
- Hursey Seafoods (just to prove shopping in Stanley is not JUST about gifts!)
Hopefully the business owners are all still there, and still selling similar products to Tasmanian tourists and locals of course. A wander along Church Street will reveal a great variety of retail outlets, so allow plenty of time for browsing. Anyone is welcome to add a comment in the section below to note personal favourites.
Shopping… just one of a variety of things to do in Stanley. And the scenic location makes for wonderful photographic opportunities. It's just an all-round lovely Tasmanian town, one we're keen to re-visit again soon. If you'd like to see details of a particular Stanley business published, please email Tania and Gavin.
If you have a collection of photos and a relevant story to accompany them, please contact Think Tasmania. We love to share new and interesting material with all our readers via the website, newsletter and social media.

Inexpensive. Text-to-speech functionality. Multisegment routing. Eleven-million-POI database. Multimedia players. Two-year warranty.
Very minor user interface quirks detract only slightly from an otherwise excellent GPS device.
Bottom Line
The Editors' Choice winning V7 NAV740 offers mid-market navigation features with entry-level pricing.
I predict that 2008 will see a shake-up in the ever-growing GPS market. Just how many different brands and, for that matter, how much shelf space at retail can the market support? This year at CES, I saw a number of new GPS devices, co-branded by companies such as Goodyear and Jeep, that will be introduced in the coming months. (Check back soon for our reviews of these devices.) There's another new brand that you'll be seeing in online outlets soonIngram Micro's V7and this one may actually have a good chance of surviving in the increasingly crowded market.
Similar Products
I tested two V7 models, the NAV740, which is our Editors' Choice for budget GPS devices, and its smaller-screen sibling, the NAV730, both of which boast generous feature sets and low prices. The primary differences between the two devices are screen size and price: The NAV740 ($299.95 list) has a 4.3-inch widescreen, while the NAV730 ($199.95 list) has a 3.5-inch screen. For this review, I'll focus on the NAV740 model, but will highlight some differences with the NAV730.
The hardware platform is similar to many other navigation devices we've reviewed. It's based on the Samsung S3C2440 400-MHz processor with 64MB of flash memory and 64MB of SDRAM. The software runs on top of Windows CE .NET 5.0. The receiver is a 20-channel SiRFstarIII with a built-in antenna. As with virtually all portable GPS devices, there's an antenna jack for an external antenna, but with the sensitivity of the SiRFstarIII, you rarely need one. The NAV740 measures 3.3 by 4.9 by 0.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 7.1 ounces. At about three-quarters of an inch thick, it's not the thinnest unit on the market, but it does come close. The 4.3-inch WQVGA display is 480 by 272 pixels. V7 rates the built-in 1,600-mAh lithium polymer battery at 3.5 hours in GPS navigation mode.
Both devices come with the standard suction cup windshield mount, as well as a car power adapter. The NAV740 also includes an AC power adapter. Neither unit comes with an adhesive disk to allow dashboard mounting in states where windshield mounted devices might get you a traffic ticket. Each device features a standby power switch, a reset button, a 3.5mm audio-out jack, and a mini-USB connector on the right-hand side. At the left, you'll find the slot for the SD card as well as a volume up/down switch. It's nice to have a dedicated volume switch: I've found that a hardware volume control is easier, and safer, to use while driving than navigating through menus. Both devices also support dynamic volume adjustment, meaning that you can set them to increase volume automatically based on your driving speed.
Preloaded on both devices are Tele Atlas maps for all 50 states plus Puerto Rico. Maps for Canada, often found in more expensive competing products, are not included. Surprisingly, the points-of-interest (POI) database in the NAV740 contains a generous 11 million entries. This is one of the largest POI databases I've seen, and is easily the largest at this price point. To achieve its lower price, the NAV730 comes with a 1GB SD card rather than the NAV740's 2GB card and contains only about 1 million POIs. The NAV730, however, does accept 2GB cards, and you can download the larger POI database for free. In fact, both devices support SDHC cards up to 16GB.
I wouldn't expect to find multimedia players on devices as aggressively priced as these. Yet in addition to Navigation, you'll see options for Multimedia and Calculator (though the calculator isn't included in the NAV730). The calculator has three modes: a simple four-function calculation mode; a scientific mode with trig and log functions; and a mode that converts length, weight, volume, area, and temperatures between English and metric. The multimedia player supports popular video (MPEG-4, MPEG-1, AVI, WMV DivX, XviD, and others), audio (MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, and others) and photo (GIF, JPG, BMP, PNG, and TIFF) formats. The NAV740's 2GB SD card has approximately 210MB available for multimedia files. You can get files onto the device by connecting to a PC through the USB 1.1 port with a cable (not supplied), or you can use an SD card reader.
The navigation software on both devices is licensed from Nav N Go, which can be found in a number of devices we've previously reviewed, including the Novogo S700 and the Mio DigiWalker C220 and C520. While the underlying software and route calculation engine is the same, each manufacturer can tweak the user interface and feature set to its own specifications.
The NAV740's main menu has five tabs across the bottom of the screen: View Map; Find & Go; Route Manager; Settings; and Exit. The "Find & Go" menu includes options you'd normally associate with creating a route. Destinations can be created based on an address, your history list (recently found destinations), the POIs, the Favorites, and user-defined destinations for "Work" and "Home." A feature sure to appeal to geo-cachers: You can also set a destination by GPS coordinates. For data entry, you have a choice of alphabetic or QWERTY keyboards. As you type, only available selections for the next letter remain highlighted.
The NAV740 does a nice job of handling POIs. On the first screen, you'll find icons for 8 of the 11 top-level POI categories: Favorites, Services, Transportation, Shopping, Entertainment, Culture, Sports, and Emergency/Government. The second screen has the remaining three categories: Food/Drink, Lodging, and Artificial Landmarks. I would have preferred to have Food & Drink and Lodging on the first screen, since, for me, those are probably the most frequently used categories. Each top-level category has subcategories to refine your search, or you can search all by name. The shopping subcategories also include 278 branded stores, such as Best Buy and Lowe's. You also have the option of searching around an address, at the current GPS location, at the cursor position, at an entry in your history list, or around GPS coordinates. In addition, you can select an entire category or subcategory to display on the map view.
I did a side-by-side comparison of routes generated by the NAV740 and the Mio Digiwalker C520, and found them to be identical if I set the same routing preferences. Both of these models support multiple vehicle profiles and route types. The NAV740 and 730 both support text-to-speech and use the same voice as the C520. In addition, both models support multisegment routing plus a route optimization feature, as well as route simulationfeatures not normally found at this price point. Though I could see a couple of opportunities for some very minor UI improvements, some of which are already in the works for a free software upgrade, the menu system was very easy to use and didn't require cracking the 86-page manual.
The V7 NAV740, as well as the smaller, less-expensive NAV730, offers feature sets normally found on higher-end devices. With text-to-speech, multisegment routing, multimedia players, and a two-year warranty, these V7 models from Ingram Micro are definitely worth considering. V7's products will be distributed through various online sites including Amazon.com, Fry's, Newegg.com and Staples, along with many others.

Maybe you think you can't enjoy the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and their signature New Orleans-style music. You don't get it, you can't connect with it, etc. But on That's It!, the PHJB proves there's nothing to "get" or "connect with"—it's just really good music.
The band has been around since the early 1960's and alums include Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton. With that kind of staying power, you wonder how the group has evolved or changed to maintain relevancy. But the group hasn't changed—they've maintained relevancy by staying wonderfully the same.
Their collaborators may have a more modern edge to them (Jim James, lead singer of My Morning Jacket, produced the album) but the sound is all vintage brass-band fare. Check out "August Nights" if you want a song to match your fedora and trench coat on a foggy night. The title track is pure grit—fat oom-pah notes from the tuba and loud blasts from the trumpets.
Try standing still when you hear it. That difficulty you feel is why the band has lasted for decades.
