As such, it is not a stretch to conclude that this confusion is sub-optimal midway through an Ashes series.

The head scratching goes beyond this pair too. Joe Root volunteered to move to No 3 for this series despite a preference to bat one lower, while England are also trying to work out the best order for Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow.

Stokes and Buttler switched spots in the second innings at Lord’s, sharing a 90-run partnership that resulted in the former kicking on for his first Test century in nearly two years from No 5. Jonny Bairstow also made scores of 52 and 30 in the match from his preferred No 7 spot.

Stanton Friedman interview

Stanton Terry Friedman (born July 29, 1934) is a retired nuclear physicist and professional ufologist who resides in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. He is the original civilian investigator of the Roswell incident. He worked on research and development projects for several large companies. In 1970, Friedman left full-time employment as a physicist to pursue the scientific investigation of UFOs. Since then, he has given lectures at more than 600 colleges and to more than 100 professional groups in 50 states, 10 provinces, and 19 countries outside the US.[2] Additionally, he has worked as a consultant on the topic. He has published more than 80 UFO-related papers and has appeared on many radio and television programs. He has also provided written testimony to Congressional hearings and appearedtwice at the United Nations.
Friedman has consistently favoured use of the term "flying saucer" in his work, saying "Flying saucers are, by definition, unidentified flying objects, but very few unidentified flying objects are flying saucers. I am interested in the latter, not the former." Friedman used to refer to himself as "The Flying Saucer Physicist", because of his degrees in nuclear physics and work on nuclear projects Friedman was the first civilian to document the site of the Roswell UFO incident, and supports the hypothesis that it was a genuine crash of an extraterrestrial spacecraft.[5] In 1968 Friedman told a committee of the U.S. House of Representatives that the evidence suggests that Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled extraterrestrial vehicles.[6] Friedman also stated he believed that UFO


sightings were consistent with magnetohydrodynamic propulsion.
In 1996, after researching and fact checking the Majestic 12 documents, Friedman said that there was no substantive grounds for dismissing their authenticity.
In 2004, on George Noory's Coast to Coast radio show, Friedman debated Seth Shostak, the SETI Institute's Senior Astronomer. Like Friedman, Shostak also believes in the existence of intelligent life other than humans; however, unlike Friedman, he doesn't believe such life is now on Earth or is related to UFO sightings.
Friedman has hypothesized that UFOs may originate from relatively nearby sunlike stars.(p. 217)
A piece of evidence that he often cites with respect to this hypothesis is the 1964 star map drawn by alleged alien abductee Betty Hill during a hypnosis session, which she said was shown to her during her abduction.Astronomer Marjorie Fish constructed a three-dimensional map of nearby sun-like stars and claimed a good match from the perspective of Zeta Reticuli, about 39 light years distant. The fit of the Hill/Fish star maps was hotly debated in the December 1974 edition of Astronomy Magazine, with Friedman and others defending the statistical validity of the match.

The analysis, which went to the IMF executive board in July, was publicly released just four days after U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin made the surprising announcement that he had formally designated China as a currency manipulator under U.S. law — a decision that was widely seen as ratcheting up the U.S.-China trade war.

Mnuchin took that step after the People’s Bank of China allowed the managed exchange rate to depreciate beyond 7 renminbi to the dollar for the first time in 11 years.

CITY OF EL PASO
v.
SIMMONS.
No. 38.
Supreme Court of United States.
Argued November 17, 1964.
Decided January 18, 1965.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT.
*498 William J. Mounce argued the cause for appellant. With him on the brief was Thornton Hardie.
Greenberry Simmons, appellee, argued the cause and filed a brief pro se.
MR. JUSTICE WHITE delivered the opinion of the Court.
Under the applicable statutes existing in Texas in 1910, the year in which the contracts in this case were made, the State Land Board was authorized to sell the public lands allocated to the Permanent Free School Fund on longterm contracts calling for a down payment of one-fortieth of the principal and annual payment of interest and principal. The time for payment of principal wasto the land in question and filed his applications for reinstatement, tendering the required payments. The applications were denied because they had not been made within five years of the forfeiture as required by the 1941 statute. In 1955, pursuant to special legislation, the land was sold by the State to the City of El Paso. Simmons then filed this suit in the Federal District Court to determine title to the land in question. In its answer the City relied upon the 1941 statute as barring Simmons' claim and also pleaded adverse possession and laches as additional defenses. The District Court granted the City's motion for summary judgment on the ground of the 1941 statute.[3] The Court of Appeals reversed, 320 F. 2d 541 (C. A. 5th Cir.),


public education.[10] These lands, over 42,000,000 acres, *510 were to be sold as quickly as practicable in order to provide revenues for the public school system and to encourage the settlement of the vast public domain. The terms of sale were undemanding and designed to accomplish the widespread sale and development of the public domain. The State required a down payment of one-fortieth of the purchase price, an annual payment of one-fortieth of principal and an annual payment of interest.[11] The terms were frequently modified in favor of purchasers. Periodically, during the course of almost a century, the time for payment of the nominal principal amount was extended.[12] In 1919, the requirement that the purchaser settle on the land or adjoining land was lifted,[13] provisions allowing forfeiting purchaserstitle.
The clouds on title arising from reinstatement rights were not without significance to the State's vital interest in administering its school lands to produce maximum revenue and in utilizing its properties in ways best suited to the needs of a growing population. The uncertainty *516 of land titles, the massive litigation to which this gave rise, and the pattern of sale and forfeiture were quite costly to the school fund and to the development of land use. Timeless reinstatement rights prevented the State from maintaining an orderly system of land sales and the resultant confusion impeded the effective disposition of lands and utilization of mineral wealth within them. Where sales by the State were not feasible or desirable, the State was prevented from utilizing the lands or permitting


its subdivisions to utilize them by the possibility that some one of several purchasers might at some unknowable future date assert the right to reinstatement. In this very case, the legislature authorized by special act the transfer of this land to the City of El Paso, reserving the minerals to the State, in recognition of "[t]he fact that the City of El Paso is in urgent need of expanding its sources of water and of protecting water wells previously drilled," Tex. Gen. & Spec. Laws 1955, ch. 278. This transfer would have been invalid absent the 1941 Act.
The program adopted at the turn of the century for the sale, settlement, forfeiture, and reinstatement of land was not wholly effectual to serve the objectives of the State's land programthe loser and the treasury of the State of Texas the ultimate beneficiary of the Court's action.

*518 I.
In 1910 Texas obligated itself by contract to sell the land here involved, the purchasers to pay one-fortieth of the price in cash, the balance due at unnamed dates, with annual interest at 3% of the unpaid balance to be paid each succeeding year. The contracts of sale approved on behalf of the State by the Texas Land Commissioner provided that the land was sold "in accordance with the provisions of" two Texas statutes.[2] The provisions of these statutes relating to the sale were thus incorporated in and became a part of the obligation assumed by Texas and the purchasers, just as if they had been spelled out word for word


"weary of the fluctuating policy" of state legislatures and wanted it made clear that under the new Government men could safely rely on States to keep faith with those who justifiably relied on their promises. The Federalist, No. 44, at 301 (Cooke ed. 1961).
The first great case construing the Contract Clause involved, much like the present case, an attempt by a State to relieve itself of the duty of honoring land grants which it regretted having made. In Fletcher v. Peck, 6 Cranch 87, decided in 1810, this Court speaking through Chief Justice John Marshall held that a law of the State of Georgia which attempted to terminate grants of land made by the State under authority of a prior state law was invalid as a violation of*532 obligations as required by the Contract Clause. At most the Court's reasons boil down to the fact that Texas' contracts, perhaps very wisely made a long time ago,[22] turned out when land soared in value, and particularly after oil was discovered, to be costly to the State. As the Court euphemistically puts it, the contracts were "not wholly effectual to serve the objectives of the State's land program many decades later. Settlement was no longer the objective, but revenues . . ." among other things were. In plainer language, the State decided it had made a bad deal and wanted out. There is nothing unusual in this. It is a commonplace that land values steadily rise when population increases and rise sharply when valuable minerals are discovered,


which was in the minds of most early Texans, the Constitution of 1876 provided that one-half of the Public Domain of the State, in addition to all funds, lands, and other property thereafter set apart for the support of the public schools, all the alternate sections of land reserved by the State out of grants made to railroads or to corporations, and all sums of money that may come to the State from the sale of any portion of the same, should constitute a perpetual school fund. The lands belonging to this fund were to be sold under such regulations as prescribed by law.
.....
"Under these acts the Permanent Free School Fund has been granted more than 42,500,000 acres of land. The first sale of School Land was athereof."
The court also observed:
"The primary object of the state in placing its public domain upon the market was the securing of actual settlers on these lands. The revenues to be derived from sales was but a secondary consideration, a mere incident to the greater purpose of supplying homes to those who sought and lived in them in good faith. The wisdom of this policy of our forefathers has never been seriously questioned, and the provision for the reinstatement of sales forfeited was an expression of the spirit of that policy. It was right and just that those who had settled upon and improved the state's lands in response to the invitation of the state, and who had endured the hardships incident to such settlement, and the privations incident


Mikami wants to bring back horror focus for Evil Within

Few game genres bring about the kind of debate over terminology that horror does. Or maybe it only feels that way because it's the one I can't turn away from when the insults start flying. It took no time at all for folks to wonder what category Tango Gameworks' The Evil Withinwould fall under. In director Shinji Mikami's own words, it's survival horror, but it didn't start that way.

In an interview with 4Gamer translated by Siliconera, he says that enough people on the team wanted to go in that direction, so that's where they went. "Survival horror games as of late consist of many action-focused games," Mikami commented. "I'd like to make a game that can bring the focusequipped.

Carjacker Beats 91-Year-Old Man as Bystanders Look On

DETROIT – A convenience store surveillance video shows each punch 91-year-old Leonard Sims took to the side of his face during a carjacking.

But the tape also caught a group of people standing only feet away who either didn't see the attack or chose not to get involved.

"You can't really tell what they were focusing on," Maria Miller, a spokeswoman for the Wayne County prosecutor's office, said Monday.

Miller said at least one bystander did report the May 4 attack outside the store in Detroit.

Sims was outside his car in the store parking lot about 8:30 p.m. when a man walked up and asked for a light for his cigarette, according to the prosecutor's office.

The man then punched Sims at least a half-dozentimes in the side of his head while Sims held onto the car door. The video also shows the man using the door to knock Sims to the ground before taking the keys and driving off in the 2005 Chevy Malibu.

Detroit police arrested the man last Thursday following a foot chase in Warren, just north of Detroit.

Deonte Edward Bradley, 22, of Detroit was arraigned Friday on assault with intent to do great bodily harm and carjacking in connection with the attack.

Officials at 36th District Court in Detroit said Monday that a lawyer had not yet been assigned to Bradley.

"Is there really any reason to beat a 91-year-old just to take his car?" Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a statement. "Carjacking is bad enough, but there was

The memory which was fresh in him, and which he cherished now was his last four months in a place, outside where he had lived all his life. He tried writing a story from his experiences there, but he could not find any single thread of moment which he could convert into a tale.

The reasons for this were there, Rishi had been a writer of stories usually picked from his own life and where the main character generally had a detached lonely point of view. That was seldom his point of view in the last few months. And even if this point of view was available, there was no crisis momentwill say that I was absolutely and rapturously in love with my newborn who grew into a toddler too quickly and a kindergartener even faster. My pregnancy was long planned and much delayed, and the result far greater than I had imagined during nights of severe and visceral desperation. Her tiny pursed lips (that I kissed incessantly, even when she slept), her faint sighs, the way she involuntarily smiled when she dreamt: all of it was intoxicating. But soon she began to meander away on her awkward legs and it occurred to me that I would need more, not just for myself, but for her as well. I had given birth at thirty and soon after became consumed with the idea that I ought to become a role


model to both my daughter and myself. I was determined to prove to her and to me that it was indeed possible to feed oneself and still provide for another.

When she reached the tender age of two and a half, I went back to graduate school. It was something I had been planning for the better part of a decade, even though issues like rent, marriage, and then diapers got in the way. I worried that I was past my prime and would be surrounded by avid thinkers who didn’t wander away from academia–lured by the scent of French pastry and the possibility of making a salary rather than paying tuition–and who were a decade younger than I.

A South Jersey gun range finds itself in the cross hairs of two groups who believe two signs they have posted are racist and should be taken down. "The Only Time We Take A Knee …" the billboard posted by the South Jersey Shooting Club on Route 73 in Voorhees reads. Next to the words, it has a silhouette of a person on one knee pointing a rifle.

The billboard is a reference to the recent controversy that has erupted involving football players taking a knee before and during the national anthem. It began last year when then San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem to speak out against racial inequality. Because of the circumstances surrounding the genesis of this controversy, racial tensionsare high surrounding this issue. The billboard is not immune to the controversy.

"Please call!," South Jersey Women for Progressive Change member Moneke Ragsdale posted on Twitter. "This billboard is on Rt. 73 in Voorhees. Tell them this billboard is racist. Taking a knee is a protest to say NO to police brutality. The women of SJWPC are taking a knee to support black and brown people. Take it down!"

A member of the club told philly.com that when she called to complain, a person at the club hung up on her. NACCP Camden County East Chapter Member Keith Benson Sr. calls the billboard and a digital sign the club posted in Pennsauken "racially divisive" and told the media outlet he has also encouraged people to call the Winslow Township-based


club and complain. The club says the signs aren't meant to be racist, and that there are no plans to take them down. The club, which is an NRA Gold Club Affiliate according to its website, has received both criticism and praise on its Facebook page.

"I don't care for your ad on Rt. 73," one person posted. "I'm sure there's a way to advertise responsible common sense firearm training and use that's not offensive."

"But 'Responsible and common Sense' isn't the message he wants to send," read one response to the comment.

"Love the sign on 73!" one person wrote.

Since Kaepernick took a knee prior to an exhibition game last summer, he opted out of his contract with the 49ers and has not been signed by an NFL team since.Two men on opposite sides of one of the biggest scandals in sports history share an air of secrecy granted by their work for the FBI.

Former Penn St. president Graham Spanier was arraigned today on charges he attempted to cover-up the massive child abuse scandal involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

The investigator that revealed Spanier's alleged crimes, Louis Freeh, has also been accused of heading a massive cover-up when he was director of the FBI.

Spanier's lawyers previously argued that Freeh's report was unfounded in part because it didn't take into account another investigation of Spanier "conducted simultaneously by federal officials responsible for our national security."

That investigation reaffirmed Spanier’s Top Secret security clearance, which he holds from being chairman of the FBI National Security Higher Education Advisory Board.


In 2008 Spanier accepted the "Award for Excellence in Public Service" at FBI headquarters.

Spanier was fired last November after having served as PSU president since 1995 and subsequently began consulting for the U.S. government on a project “relating to national security.” The details regarding his most recent federal gig—like which agency he works for—remain a mystery.

Freeh, who was FBI Director from 1993 to 2001, has a mystique of his own. He is a member of the secretive group Opus Dei. The international Roman Catholic order, founded in 1928 and championed early by Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, is dedicated to establishing its members in high political, corporate, and religious offices all over the world.

It's interesting—if not highly relevant given that 1.4 million Americans have Top Secret clearance—that both theEven before Wednesday’s noontime “special announcement” that Kim Jong Un had been named to the top military title of marshal, there were signs that the young heir of deceased dictator Kim Jong Il was shoring up his standing as ruler of the isolated state. North Korea announced on Monday that military chief Ri Yong Ho had been removed from all his party and government positions, a move that was attributed only to “his illness.” And in the months before, the country was blanketed with propaganda meant to elevate the status of the status of Kim, who after the death of his father in December was quickly elevated to the top of North Korea’s leadership.

Coupled with the removal of the 69-year-old Ri, who was ranked a vice marshal, Wednesday’s


As expected, US third party candidates have been excluded from the debate process that has been adjusted to the bipartisan establishment for years.

US Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson and Green Party hopeful Jill Stein are not elegible for participating in the first presidential debate, as they don't have sufficient support from the US electorate, the Commission on Presidential Debates said in a statement on Friday.

[...]

"Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Tim Kaine, and Donald Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence, qualify to participate in the September 26 presidential debate and the October 4 vice-presidential debate, respectively," the commission noted. "No other candidates satisfied the criteria for inclusion in the September 26 and October 4 debates."

[...]

Johnson and Stein can still qualify for the two other debates whichwill take place in October if they improve their standings in the polls.

However, the internet independent media have done a pretty good job so far, through plenty of successful interviews with third party candidates and others. With people, for whom extremely limited time has been given on mainstream media, or even, completely excluded from the media system.

Even during the race for the nomination of the democratic party, Bernie Sanders has been excluded initially from the corporate media. However, he earned further recognition thanks to his promotion by the independent and social media. Many people learned about him and what he represents through interviews on independent websites and networks.

So, maybe it's time for the independent media to go one step further. Our suggestion is to organize a "counter-debate" (why


Bob Saget’s Full Mouth

Bob Saget walked into the lobby of the Hudson Hotel and thrust out his hand. The tall, fit 48-year-old was wearing a zip-up sweatshirt, faded jeans and Converse loafers. I was eager to ask him to tell a famous dirty joke, a joke so well known among comedians it’s the subject of its own documentary, The Aristocrats, which comes out in July.

In the film, Mr. Saget is one of 100 comedians who each tell their own version of the bawdy yarn. His version, I’d been told, was the filthiest-not something you might expect from a guy who beamed into prime time as the sitcom dad on ABC’s Full House and the corny host of America’s Funniest Home Videos. Who was the real Bob Saget?

“Saget wasthe youngest person in history with a comb-over.”

He made friends by casting them in movies he made on a Super 8 camera, with titles like Hitler on the Roof and Past Gas. He’d show the movies to the neighborhood and do standup. With his earnings, he bought film stock and took a pretty girl out to dinner and a movie, “and she became my ex-wife.”

At 17, he took the train to New York and waited in line for 10 hours to perform at open-mike night at the Improv. He sang perverted songs. “I had one about a woman you thought was a man. It was called ‘She’s a Man.’ Terrible song.”

In 1978 at Temple University, he won an award for an 11-minute documentary he’d made about his nephew’s


facial reconstructive surgery. He enrolled at U.S.C.’s film school but quit because Mitzi Shore at the Comedy Store offered him a gig. He toured colleges, and one night in Buffalo he was signed by a 20-year-old guy named Brad Grey and his partner, a rock-concert promoter named Harvey Weinstein. “I liked Brad and I thought Harvey was a mover and a shaker, and he looked like he knew what he was talking about,” Mr. Saget said. “It’s very strange. They’re giants now.”

Mr. Grey, who remained his manager until last year, when he became chairman of Paramount, got him standup gigs on The Merv Griffin Show and other programs. Mr. Saget served as house M.C. at the Comedy Store, where in 1985 he met Rodney Dangerfield.

In addition, Japan will limit banks and securities firms in their handling of Bitcoin by ensuring they don't take on the currency as the core aspect of their operations, the report says.

That Japan is moving to rein in Bitcoin is perhaps no surprise. Last week, Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox filed for bankruptcy protection in the country after it was revealed that approximately $500 million in bitcoins were stolen from its service through a flaw. Mt. Gox has


The first victim of the horrific Grenfell fire has been named as Mohammed Alhajali – a Syrian refugee who came to Britain to seek a “better life”.

A friend of the victim, who was studying civil engineering at the University of the West London, said he lived on the 14th floor of the 24-storey west London tower block.

The 23-year-old sought to follow his brother Omar, who is currently being treated in hospital, down the stairs of the burning building, but was besieged by billows of smoke.

He is said to have been trapped on the floor for two hours while hundreds of firefighters sought to rescue residents, but failed to reach above the 13th floor.

Mr Almashi, co-founder of the Syria Solidarity Campaign, met Mr Alhajali whilst working for the organisation, which promotes freedom, peace and democracy in Syria.

“When the fire reached his flat on the 14th floor, Mohammed bid his friend goodbye, saying that the fire had reached him,” the organisation said.

 _Underfitting_ is when an algorithm cannot adequately capture the underlying structure of the data. An underfitting model underperforms because it is not complex enough to capture the meaning of the data. _High variance_ is when an algorithm introduces too much error into prediction resulting in poor performance.

Image caption Sketch of Ian Brady: The tribunal was relayed to a public hearing by a video link

Ian Brady is banned from carrying pens in case he uses them as a weapon after a confrontation at his secure mental hospital, a tribunal has heard.

The mental health tribunal assessing the Moors Murderer heard he would carry the pen clenched in his knuckles, at Ashworth secure hospital in Merseyside.

Brady, 75, wants to be transferred to prison where he hopes to have more control over when he dies.

He has been on hunger strike since 1999 and is fed through a tube.

The 75-year-old wants the tribunal to judge that he is no longer ill so he can move to prison - where he hopes he will not be force-fed, so he wouldbe able to try to starve himself to death.

Brady and his partner, Myra Hindley, tortured and murdered five children, aged 10 to 17, between July 1963 and October 1965, burying some of their victims' bodies on Saddleworth Moor, near Manchester.

Brady was first sent to the Ashworth in 1985 after being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, suffering delusions and hallucinations.

He is separately considered to have a separate and severe personality disorder, in common with many of the most dangerous murderers in prison.

'Nocturnal existence'

At the second day of the tribunal, the panel heard that Brady had been involved in a confrontation after he believed another patient was slamming a door and directing pig noises at him. Nurses said the other patient was sitting reading a magazine.

The incident escalated to a confrontation


in which Brady brought a pen close to someone's face.

Eleanor Grey QC, for Ashworth, said Brady either lied about hearing pig noises or was deluded.

Dr Adrian Grounds, an independent psychiatrist called by Brady's legal team, said it was a paranoid response. But he had found no signs of continuing schizophrenia.

Brady isolates himself, sometimes sleeps in his clothes on top of his bed and talks to himself in his room to prevent his voice becoming "rusty".

Miss Grey told the hearing: "He's got a nocturnal existence really, only coming out at night time when other patients are not there."

'Determined protest'

Dr Grounds said that none of the hospital's evidence was absolutely symptomatic of a treatable mental illness.

He said that in 18 hours of interviews over 10 years, he had concluded thatwhich is featured on Immortal Artist.

What it is "about"

Anglo-Australians, like myself, have always had a problematic relationship with the land of Australia. On the one hand the land is seen as hostile, strange, ripe for exploitation; on the other, seen as unique, beautiful and fragile. Neither relationship strikes me as particularly healthy. Contrasting to this is the orientation of the original peoples, who see country as a living, contemporary and eternal, spiritual and material reality, not separate from persons. The continuous interchange between humanity and country is mutually supportive and both spiritual and material. There is no separate conception of "nature" v "humanity", "spiritual" v "material".

The neolithic and mythic evidence points to a similar orientation being prevalent among the pre-christian Anglo-celtic peoples.

Plan Commission approves plan over residents' objections

A five-story, 134-unit apartment proposal at 2100 N. Mayfair Road was approved over the vehement objections of neighborhood residents who crowded the room at this week's Plan Commission meeting.

Revisions made after the project's first appearance at a December meeting did not appease homeowners and residents who will share an alley with the building. Nor did the revisions satisfy others on 106th and 107th streets south of North Avenue who fear increased traffic, blocked sunlight, and a changed character to the neighborhood.

The project was approved on a 4-1 vote, with Alderwoman Kathleen Causier voting "no."

The discussion had themes in common with debates over earlier projects that have placed large-scale housing complexes near or amid quiet neighborhoods


as the city pursues high-density redevelopment in an effort to expand its tax base.

More than half the site is a cement slab, with the north portion of it occupied by a square, brown office building. Developer John Czarnecki said he planned to spend $20 million on the project, and that the value of the site would increase from about $1 million today to $17 million, with a commensurate boost in property taxes.

A tough site

The site lies just north of U.S. Highway 45, tucked beside the northbound off-ramp onto Mayfair Road. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation, as part of the Zoo Interchange Project, removed a driveway into the property, leaving the alley to the east of it, off Garfield, as the sole method of access.

That alone was enough toas many as 200 cars were the persistent concerns of neighbors.

After the reaction at December's meeting, Czarnecki and Gene Guszkowski, of AG Architecture, proposed expanding the alley by four feet from its entrance point on the north to the entrances to the building's parking lot; moving a wing of the building from a point flush with the alley to the west side of the site, along Mayfair Road; placing a stop sign for cars leaving the parking lot; putting a service bay and entrance at the south end of the site; and covering much of the building walls with vines.

A traffic study commissioned by the developer said that the intersection of Garfield and the "backage road," presumably the alley, "is expected to continue to operate similar to existing


is going to keep getting more intense in that area. It's a good thing."

Reluctant support

Commission members Jody Lowe, Angela Mullooly, and Mayor Kathy Ehley all expressed reservations but finally voted in favor of the plan.

Ehely said she had spent hours studying the alley and the neighborhood and was "very conflicted." She expressed a need for a larger look at transportation and solutions to the growing traffic the city is generating, at some point in the future.

Causier, who represents the district, said she couldn't vote against her constituents.

The Plan Commission's vote granted a change of zoning and recommended approval of the preliminary plan for the project. Conditions attached to the approval included a speed limit in the alley of 15 mph, the installation of the stop sign, resolving stormwaterwondering why I was there.

Besides talking about her loss, Sandberg shared what she had learned from the wide range of people from all walks of life whom she had consulted. Their stories about how they had overcome their varied hardships plus research about grief and resilience formed the bulk of the book.

The two authors, Sandberg and Grant, also collaborated on sharing lessons for dealing with crises and building resilience, which Sandberg highlighted in her talk. I left that event with a deeper appreciation of Sandberg’s personal experience as well as more knowledge about the power of resiliency, plus a desire to read the book and learn about the tools.

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe arrives to make an address during the General Debate of the 73rd session of United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday. Photo by Justin Lane/EPA-EFE

NEW YORK, Sept. 25 (UPI) -- Upholding multilateral trade partnerships are a priority for Japan, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly late Tuesday.

In a set of remarks that focused overwhelmingly on economic cooperation and the benefits of trade, Abe, who faces potentially tough negotiations with the United States, said his government would do its "very best to strengthen the free trade system."

Abe, who met with U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday at Trump Tower, appeared to differ with Trump, and his earlier rejection of "globalism" and depiction of tradeas the problem, not the solution, to challenges facing the world's largest economy.

"We believe that trade must be fair and reciprocal," Trump said before the General Assembly Tuesday morning, when he also disparaged China for unfair trade practices. "The United States will not be taken advantage of any longer...we are systematically renegotiating broken and bad trade deals."

The Trump administration has not ruled out imposing tariffs on Japanese automobiles as it sets out to address the $69 billion trade deficit with Japan.

Abe, who was recently re-elected as head of Japan's ruling party, said his country has a responsibility to uphold multilateral economic cooperation.

"This is because after the war Japan itself was a nation that enjoyed remarkable growth, basking in the advantages of trade as the beneficiary of a free


economic system," Abe said Tuesday.

The Japanese prime minister added Japan's development was followed by an economic "takeoff" in neighboring Asian countries, and that his country made "vast investments" in the region within an "international economic system that is rules-based, free and open."

"Japan now has taken on the mission of imparting to the world the benefits of trade," Abe said, adding he would make "all-out efforts" toward negotiations on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, or RCEP.

"This will give rise to an enormous free trade area in East Asia," Abe said, adding trade relations with the United States have allowed Japanese firms to create employment for 856,000 Americans.

In his remarks Abe also called for the resolution of the abduction issue, which could be "resolved" through a "new start" that wouldWilliam M.

The Belgian cabaret Neveneffecten had a TV-show Basta in January 2011 on channel Eén. In their second episode, Basta could prove these games were a fraud. Neveneffecten found a job posting as host for such games and they asked Maxime De Winne to apply for the job and to go undercover. De Winne got the job and was a host forabout 4 months and used hidden cameras to record conversations with the management. Neveneffecten also hired a math expert: Gaeten de Weert. After some months, De Weert was able to solve every math puzzle, but noticed the answer of the puzzle is incorrect in 16% of the cases due to miscalculation of the producers. De Weert called the studio during a live game and was able to give the correct answer. He also said the show was a fraud and he was going to publish the solution key on the Internet, which he actually did. The episode was aired on 17 January 2011, vtm and 2BE decided to stop the games as from 20 January 2011.

Canada special: Canada's hidden assets

Canada's contribution to aerospace ranges from the highly visible - Bombardier regional jets and turboprops and Learjet, Challenger and Global business jets, and the Canadarm robotic arm on the International Space Station - to more hidden assets such as CAE simulators or Héroux-Devtek landing gear and other components and subassemblies.

Indeed, according to Aerospace Industries Association of Canada (AIAC) president Claude Lajeunesse, while 47% of the world's 20- to 90-seat regional aircraft are made in Canada, it is important to note other major contributions: small gas turbines (34%), commercial simulators (80%), commercial helicopters (14%), landing gear (31% - and 60% for new large aircraft landing gear) and transport aircraft environmental controls and onboard systems (60%).

Lajeunesse is quick to point out that Canada's aerospace sector isthe world's fifth largest, behind the USA, France, Germany and the UK, and employs more than 80,000 people directly. And, he says, the sector has momentum and deserves the support it gets from the government, noting for example the Lockheed MartinF-35 programme: "Thanks to our world leadership in several subsectors, Canada is in a position to secure a very significant share of work on this state-of-the art aircraft."

But while Canada clearly holds its own in global aerospace, figures show the industry is far more important to Canada than to many of its rivals. According to an October 2010 Deloitte & Touche study carried out for the AIAC, The Strategic and Economic Impact of the Canadian Aerospace Industry, based on both aerospace industry revenues and employment compared with GDP,


2009. Aerospace companies may account for one-tenth of total R&D spending by Canadian companies.

One significant characteristic of the Canadian aerospace industry - and one that may prove advantageous in the coming years of military spending cutbacks - is the fact that it operates mostly in the civil sector, which is unsurprising given Canada's relatively modest defence spending.

According to Deloitte, in 2009 civil spending accounted for an estimated 83.4% of Canadian aerospace revenue.

In 2009, Canada's $20.5 billion of military spending represented 1.3% of GDP - compared with 4.3% in the USA.

Canada's place in world aerospace, however, is not assured. According to the most recent AIAC members' survey, nearly half of respondents expect to lose a significant proportion of their business to developing aerospace markets.

Fast & Furious 8 Will Bring Back Dwayne Johnson

Last month, Vin Diesel took the stage at CinemaCon to announce that he and the folks at Universal Pictures are currently developing Fast & Furious 8 to be released in April 2017. Unfortunately, he didn't add any details about who else would be returning for another ride... but now one of the biggest stars has chimed in on the subject. Dwayne Johnson has confirmed that he will indeed be back to star in the next Fast & Furious movie.

The Nerd Report caught up with Johnson quickly this past weekend, and took the opportunity to ask him if he would be coming back for Fast & Furious 8. The actor's response didn't exactly go super in-depth, giving the reporter a lessto.

In the last three Fast & Furious films, Dwayne Johnson has played DSS Federal Agent Luke Hobbes, who has established a nice record of being allied with Vin Diesel's Dom and his crew... after they first squared off as adversaries. When we last saw Luke in Furious 7, he healed a broken arm through the magic of flexing, used a hand-held Gatling gun to take down a helicopter, and made sure that Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw never sees the light of day again. There weren't really any indications as to where we could see the character go next, but his role as the member of a government agency has proven to be useful to screenwriter Chris Morgan ever since Fast Five.

At this stage, we now know that both


We Are Bad Parents, I mean Owners

A rather worrying occurence. On Sunday afternoon, Shuggie wandered into the bedroom, under the bed, and found a box containing Christmas decorations. He got into it, found a pretend holly branch made of wire, with red plastic berries. He proceeded to eat part of the branch, berries, wire and all.

In the days that followed, he seemed a bit under the weather, vomiting bile every few hours, sometimes containing bits of red plastic – but no wire (we weren’t sure if he had eaten the wire at this stage). But in between, he was still eating, playing, and going to the toilet – but he was also sleeping a lot. In the end we thought it would be best to take him toFor the first time today, Huntington, in a lengthy write-up on her blog, annotated every detail on what transpired between her and designer Carl Kapp as well as his publicist, Little Hero, before the matter was picked up by The Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) on Jan 21.

Huntington (right) said that she was pitched the story on Jan 16 by Little Hero's staff member Holly Beer, who sent an email to the blogger on Rosmah's purchase of 61 items from the Carl Kapp Shop.

In Beer’s emails to the blogger, she related Kapp’s encounter with Najib and Rosmah at the the Darling Hotel penthouse, where Beer said that items ordered were "for her (Rosmah's) everyday occasions, which are many".

"The pieces need to be completed in a month from the second


fitting. All pieces had to be altered to be with a long sleeve, with no bare ankles or wrists.

"A few of the styles she ordered included the Emilia skirt and long sleeve blouse below.

"She (Rosmah) is already asking for more pieces in addition to the 61 ordered, which is a mix of AW12 (Autumn Winter 2012) and SS11 (Spring Summer 2011)," Beer had said.

Huntington also defended her earlier blog posting by disclosing the arrangement to fly Kapp to Kuala Lumpur next month just for the fitting, though the latter in his statement to Malaysiakini on Jan 25 denied it and said that the visit to Malaysia is part of his Asian tour, to source material for his designs.

"Kapp told me, she (Rosmah) asked me to come to KLfor fittings.

"I (Kapp) said 'if you (Rosmah) take care of the travel arrangements, sure... I can't believe I'm actually flying over there next month for an hour and a half fitting.

"And then flying back out again the next day'," she revealed, citing excerpts of her conversation with Kapp on Jan 17.

Genuine effort to mislead the public

After the issue hit the local media last week, Kapp said the prime minister’s wife and her entourage, including Islamic Fashion Festival (IFF) chairperson Raja Rezza Shah, had visited his shop and had made separate purchases.

Kapp was responding to queries following a report that estimated Rosmah could have spent up to A$100,000 (RM323,000) at his store.

The orders were processed and Kapp was paid upfront, said Huntington, stressing that neither Beer nor Kapp had


Australia lower order grinds England again

Australia lower order grinds England again

England had boxed Australia into a corner in the first innings of the third Ashes Test in Perth on Friday, but not for the first time in the series the home side came out fighting and the tourists were unable to throw a knockout punch.

'It was a pretty tough part of the game'

The partnerships blunted England's bowling attack, which wilted in the extreme heat, and put Australia into a potentially dominant position.

In BrisbaneAustralia were 132 for six before posting 295 all out. In Adelaide they were 174 for four and 257 five before declaring on 509 for nine.

In Perth they slumped to 143 for five until Steve Smith (103 not out), wicketkeeper Brad Haddin (55) and paceman MitchellJohnson (39 not out) helped Australia to the close on 326 for six.

"It was a pretty tough part of the game. They'd taken a few wickets and were pretty high so to dig through there and get through a few of their big bowlers spells and cash in late in the game, that was the plan," Smith said.

The Aussie number five added that his first Test century on home soil was up there with the best in his career and relieved a bit of pressure coming into this game.

Haddin's contribution should not be ignored. The keeper has not scored less than 50 in each of his four innings in the series and now averages 80 for the three matches.

Iranian tanker discharges oil into storage in China ahead of U.S. sanctions

BEIJING (Reuters) - A vessel carrying 2 million barrels of Iranian oil discharged the crude into a bonded storage tank at the port of Dalian in northeast China on Monday, according to Refinitiv Eikon data and a shipping agent with knowledge of the matter.

Iran, the third-largest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), is finding fewer takers for its crude ahead of U.S. sanctions on its oil exports that will go into effect on Nov. 4. The country previously held oil in storage at Dalian during the last round of sanctions in 2014 that was later sold to buyers in South Korea and India.

A man who stole 60 pieces of jewellery, including a gold watch and other items that belonged to the victims’ late parents, has been jailed for three years.

Nelson Smith, 41, of no fixed address, was found guilty of burglary at a property in Colmworth, near Bedford, in April.

Istanbul (AFP) - A court in Turkey's southern resort city of Antalya has handed a Turkish man a suspended jail sentence of over one year for comparing President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the "Lord of the Rings" character Gollum, a report said Thursday.

The man, named as Rifat Cetin, had in 2014 while Erdogan was still prime minister posted three pictures on his Facebook account comparing Erdogan to Gollum, a thin, pale, gangrel creature with a personality split between good and evil in J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy novels and the hugely successful films.

The court convicted Cetin of insulting Erdogan and sentenced him to one year and 15 days in prison but suspended the sentence for five years, the BirGun daily reported on its website. There was no official confirmation ofthe sentence.

Without specifying further, the report said Cetin had been stripped of his parental rights. He said he would appeal on the grounds of the fact he was convicted of insulting the president although Erdogan had been premier at the time.

This case had previously not been publicised and is separate from another widely publicised investigation also involving Erdogan and Gollum.

A doctor in the western province of Aydin, Bilgin Ciftci, is facing up to two years in jail for "insulting" the president after sharing images of Erdogan and Gollum. There have so far been no reports of an outcome in that case.

The cases come amid growing concern over the spiralling numbers of journalists, bloggers and ordinary people who are being taken to court on charges of insulting Erdogan and


a construction blockage on the road, narrowing traffic down to only one lane, creating long backups as cars from each direction took turns getting past the blockage.

Well, this driver patiently waited his turn. But just as he was about to get past the blockage, a car came up fast on the shoulder, passing all the waiting cars, & crowded just in front of him. Then after doing that, the driver turned around with a smirk on his face & made an obscene gesture.

Well, that infuriated the first driver. So when traffic was stopped at the next construction bottleneck, he got out of his car, took out his gun & shot the man in front of him to death.

That happened in Philadelphia. But stories like that have popped upget the invitation, especially when I learned he was re-launching his hair styling and makeup enterprise, and he wanted to use my entire body as a canvas for the photo shoot: haircut, makeup, the whole nine.

When I walked into his home studio, which is also an art gallery, I was stunned to learn that every canvas on the wall was an original Poane.

I stood in silence for several moments studying his work.

Poane lit up a smoke, flicked up the brim on his blackish-grayish fedora and adjusted his wire turquoise ring.

That's when he explained his van Gogh-like fate to me.

"I don't know where it all comes from it just pours out of me," he said, staring at his own works. "It's all God-given I know that. I never trained


or studied anywhere."

Being inside Poane's studio is fascinating.

I felt like I had an exclusive invitation inside the mind of a multidimensional visual artist.

Often, artists are great at a single style of creation. Poane's artistic genius takes shape in many forms.

As he began cutting and styling my hair, he shared stories with me about his photographs and oil paintings hanging on the wall. The paintings varied in style, evolving from realism in his early years to surreal and abstract later in life.

Some of the portraits were bold pop art others offered religious undertones, like the 6-foot canvas that hangs in his hair salon portraying Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane.

We shared stories throughout the day of our life journeys and dreams for the future.

foregoing construction have been fairly successful, there are still many problems that arise. One of the major problems is that of proper traction between the wheels and a pavement or other surface on which the skateboard is travelling. Generally, the larger the engagement area of the wheel with the surface, the better is the traction and towards this end, it has become the practice to make the pairs of wheels as wide as possible. However, the width of the wheels is limited since it is undesirable to have the outer sides of the wheels overhang the edge of the skateboard. In such a situation, for example, severe tilting of the board can cause one of the longitudinal edges to engage the wheel and thus stop its rotation withThe only other comparable in history is the 1997 Chiefs, whose divisional-round game at the No. 1 seed against the Broncos went off as a pick 'em. Kansas City had finished 13-3 that season, but the Chiefs were mired in a quarterback controversy between Elvis Grbac and Rich Gannon. Grbac started the first nine games, then went down with an injury, at which point Gannon took over and went 5-1 down the stretch. The Chiefs ultimately switched back to Grbac in their regular-season finale once the incumbent was healthy.


novel is unique and how the author Hitori Nojima did a great job of getting the story across given the open nature of The Phantom Pain.

He also explains the lack of cutscenes in the game by stating that even though they were a selling point of the games before, they served as an obstruction to freedom. Honestly, this kind of statement is a bit off given the man is a big fan of movies. Anyways, moving ahead…he further states that every series needs to come to an end. He gives an example of quote given by Dennis Lehane with the popular series Patrick Kenzie & Angela Gennaro who declared that at the peak of his popularity “No matter what kind of series it is, there is a timeMotoGP riders are to get some help with braking. From Mugello, all riders will be able to choose once again between running 320mm and 340mm brake discs on the front wheel. Use of the 340mm discs had been made compulsory at Motegi for safety reasons, but now, they will be available at all circuits.

The 320mm brake discs had been made compulsory at the end of the 2011 season, in an effort to cut costs. At that point, teams were free to choose from multiple sizes and masses of brake disc, meaning they were forced to purchase and transport sizeable numbers of discs to each race, while only using one or two sizes. Limiting choice was meant to rationalize the process, and cut costs for the teams.

Unfortunately, the compulsory


brake disc size was imposed at the same time as bike capacity and weight were increased. In 2012, the first year of the restrictions, capacity of MotoGP machines was increased to 1000cc, and weights were increased to 157kg, and a year later to 160kg. With more power and nearly 7% more weight, braking forces were growing very large once again. A series of braking problems, most notably for Cal Crutchlow, appear to be related to the size of the brake discs. It was becoming more and more difficult for the teams to manage braking safely, especially at the faster circuits. With Mugello and Barcelona up next, two of the fastest tracks on the calendar, this was a good time to allow the larger brake discs.

The news will beweights have been going on in the background for the last few weeks. More on the reduced weights will appear here soon.

Below is the press release from the FIM on allowing larger brake discs:

Decision of the Grand Prix Commission

The Grand Prix Commission, composed of Messrs. Carmelo Ezpeleta (Dorna, Chairman), Ignacio Verneda (FIM Executive Director, Sport), Herve Poncharal (IRTA) and Takanao Tsubouchi (MSMA) in the presence of Javier Alonso (Dorna) and Mike Trimby (IRTA, Secretary of the meeting), in an electronic meeting held on 22 May 2014, made the following decision:

The Commission unanimously decided, in the interests of safety, to modify the regulation concerning the front carbon disc brake sizes in the MotoGP class.

Currently the regulations permit two sizes of front


spaced relationship with the tip, thereby creating a gap, at the distal end of the torch. In operation, a pilot arc is created in the gap between the electrode and the tip, often referred to as the plasma arc chamber, wherein the pilot arc heats and subsequently ionizes the gas. The ionized gas is blown out of the torch and appears as a plasma stream that extends distally off the tip. As the distal end of the torch is moved to a position close to the workpiece, the arc jumps or transfers from the torch tip to the workpiece with the aid of a switching circuit activated by the power supply. Accordingly, the workpiece serves as the anode, and the plasma arc torch is operated in a “transferredarc” mode.
In high precision plasma arc torches, both a plasma gas and a secondary gas are provided, wherein the plasma gas is directed to the plasma arc chamber and the secondary gas is directed around the plasma arc to constrict the arc and to achieve as close to a normal cut along the face of a workpiece as possible. The secondary gas flow cannot be too high, otherwise the plasma arc may become destabilized, and the cut along the face of a workpiece deviates from the desired normal angle. With such a relatively low flow of secondary gas, cooling of components of the plasma arc torch becomes less effective, and piercing capacity is reduced due to splash back of molten metal.
Improved methods of controlling the secondary gas are


Moorea Airport

Moorea Airport ()  is an airport serving the island of Moorea in French Polynesia, France.
It is also known as Temae Airport or Moorea Temae Airport for its location near the village of Temae in northeastern Moorea. The airport is located  northeast of Afareitu, the island's main village. It is also  west of the island of Tahiti. The airport opened on October 6, 1967.

History

 27 March 1967: Construction of the runway at Moorea‑Temae.
 6 October 1967: Opening of the Temae airfield.
 1977: The Moorea-Temae aerodrome is transferred to the SETIL - Société d'Équipement de Tahiti et des Iles (Equipment Company of Tahiti and the Islands).
 1982: Construction of the existing terminal and adding additional parking spaces.
 1987: Lengthening the runway to accommodatean acceptance of an input through a set switch to set a target vehicle speed.
When the set switch is operated after the acceptance of the input of the set switch is enabled, the vehicle speed at the time of operation of the set switch is set to the target vehicle speed, an indicator light is illuminated, and the cruise control of the vehicle is started.
When the main switch is turned off, the power supply of the controller is interrupted, the cruise speed control is ended, the acceptance of the input of the set switch is disabled, and the indicator lamp is turned off.
On the other hand, when the set switch is turned on before the acceptance of the input of the set switch is enabled, the controller determines


climate risks and the need for resilience is entirely within APRA's regulatory mandate of promoting financial system stability.

"And in the interests of deposit holders, policy holders and superannuation fund members."

It's the challenge of our time: ANZ

Mr Summerhayes said the APRA has established the Climate Change Financial Risk Working Group, which has begun questioning its entities about their preparedness for climate change and its associated risks.

And furthermore, he predicted that disclosure would become a major trend in global regulation.

While one of the drivers behind that will be regulatory action, he said pressure from investors would be the main player.

Mr Summerhayes cited examples from elsewhere in the world, such as France's energy transition law.

That law requires listed companies and institutions to disclose their investment portfolio contribution to the objectives ofthe Paris Agreement and the national energy transition strategy.

"[And] the UK and business insurance regulators gather data about market practice on sustainability issues," he said.

"At APRA we're planning a survey of regulated entities to gain a better understanding of emerging best practice. As well as an industry wide review of climate related disclosures."

He also said Australia's transition to a low carbon economy was underway and moving quickly.

ANZ's loans and specialised finance managing director, Christina Tonkin, said understanding climate change related risks was important for business.

"ANZ considers that no stone must be left unturned in the pursuit of transitioning Australia and the region to a more sustainable footing," she said.

"It's the challenge of our time and one that government, business, financiers and communities need to make a top priority."

Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein was not on the attendance list of the recent World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The global elite gather annually in the Alps to strategize on how to maintain their hegemonic power and grow their massive fortunes.

Quartzreported Rubenstein as a no show, among a group of mostly former CEOs.:

David M. Rubenstein, the co-founder and co-CEO of publicly traded private equity firm The Carlyle Group, is another no-show. But Carlyle executive Volkert Doeksen is expected to attend.

Private equity has been front and center at the annual WEF meeting for decades. For 2016 Blackstone's Stephen Schwarzman served on a panel focused on "Future Proofing Financial Markets."

Private equity underwriters love Davos for two reasons. It's where deals get done and it can serve as

company Seacor Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CKH), merchandising solutions firm
Array Canada Inc. and in the McLean-based legal tech company LDiscovery

What makes Rubenstein's absence more puzzling was his being in London on
January 18-19 for the London School of Economics Alternative Investment
Conference focused on hedge funds and private equity. Rubenstein and
fellow PEU David Bonderman of TPG served as keynote speakers for the event.

Last year Mr. Rubenstein was effusive about investing in oil. Carlyle's deal with Seacor came in November 2015, roughly two months before publicly announcing the new fund:

SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. ("SMH"), entered into an agreement to issue
$175 million in convertible notes to investment funds managed and
controlled by The Carlyle Group ("Carlyle"). It is expected that the
notes will be issued on December 1, 2015. The transactioncontemplates the eventual separation of SMH from SEACOR
Holdings' other business lines, potentially via a spin-off of SMH or via
a spin-off of SEACOR Holdings' other business lines.

Private equity and distressed debt specialist groups — including
Blackstone, Carlyle, Centerbridge Partners, KKR, Oaktree Capital
Management and WL Ross — have rushed to fill the void, by offering
rescue finance, buying up debt at a discount and turning it into equity,
or buying new and secondhand vessels. So far, their results have been
mixed, hindsight shows that some groups ventured into the sector too
early.

They lined up in a two-back set before Cassel motioned out of it, leaving an empty backfield. Empty backfield on fourth and one? Indeed, Cassel took the snap and lunged forward with the sneak, converting for the first down.

Chiefs first TD of the year is Cassel to Hillis. The blitz came along the left side of the offensive line and Cassel dumped it rightover the top of them to Hillis, who waltzed into the end zone.

The Chiefs defense started the game equally as hot. On the Cards first drive, Jovan Belcher jumped over a Cardinals defense on one play, leading to an incomplete pass.

On the next play, DJ burst through the line to shut down a run. Ya know, just DJ being DJ.

Dexter McCluster was a


nice addition to the offense through the first quarter. A 29-yard reception, his third catch, put the Chiefs in the red zone. On the next play, Shaun Draughn showed some nice vision cruising along the right side of the line to get into the end zone.

Peyton Hillis rumbling 28 yards? Peyton Hillis rumbling 28 yards.

The Chiefs offense had the ball twice in the first quarter and they scored both times. Each drive was 72 yards -- the first one was 11 plays and the second one was four plays. This offense looks extremely good and not just one area. They're clicking everywhere.

Terrance Copper was blown up on one play. Brady Quinn threw a high pass over the middle to Copper, who jumped up to try and catch it. The Cards defensive back came at him and rocked him. There was no call from the referee. Copper stayed down for about a minute as the Chiefs medical staff came onto the field and walked off with him.

The only downside to the Chiefs in the first quarter was the play of Brady Quinn. He had a number of errant throws and never really established a rhythm. He just wasn't accurate.

Quinn was also picked once. But it came on a tip so I'm not laying that completely on him.

Abe Elam had a nice looking interception. The problem is,


Cardinals started the second half with a touchdown drive -- 9 plays, 80 yards in 4:28.

Remember Devon Wylie? Not just a slot guy. He's also a return man and had a great punt return midway through the second quarter. He got a couple of nice blocks to beat the initial Cardinals defenders and returned it 34 yards. Also, a Cardinals defender wrangled him at the end and tacked on half the distance to the goal.

What happens when Mick Fanning returns to the ocean

MICK Fanning was chased from the water by a shark in his first surf back home since last week’s terrifying brush with a white pointer in South Africa, it has been revealed.

Fanning’s brave return to the waves was filmed by a 60 Minutes crew at Hastings Point on the Tweed Coast on Saturday as his mother Liz watched nervously from the beach.

But a promotional advertisement for the program, being aired on Sunday night, shows the triple world champion frantically scrambling onto a jet ski in the line-up.

From the safety of the sand, a concerned Fanning tells reporter Peter


Stefanovic he has just seen a shark.

“There he is, straight out -I just saw it,’’ Fanning tells Stefanovic.

It is believed a rattled Fanning and the 60 Minutes crew then went to another beach to film the rest of the segment.

On the same day Fanning returned to the water, a large shark menaced surfers at his home break of Snapper Rocks on the Queensland/NSW border.

Ballina beaches were also closed this week after four large sharks were seen lurking off the coast.

On Tuesday, after his third surf back, Fanning told The Courier-Mail that his confidence was

returning ‘each and every day’.

“The ocean’s a pretty amazing place and it’s just good to be back in the water,’’ he said.

Fanning has announced he will resume competition at the next World Surf League event,have some fun!
