2011 Ford Fiesta
This week's arrival of 100 Ford Fiesta test cars from Europe means your social media may soon be barraged with messages (presumably positive) about how great Ford's future subcompact is to drive and live with.
The five-door Fiestas, built in Cologne, Germany, will be loaned to "young trendsetters" who will "build buzz and anticipation" for its arrival in the States as a 2011 model early next year. They'll share their impressions through Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, and others (no doubt Twitter, although Ford didn't specifically mention it).
More than 3,300 people applied for the 100 slots through Ford's "Fiesta Movement" website by posting videos on YouTube. Those videos were viewed almost 600,000 times. The "agents," as Ford calls them, will be assigned monthly missions involving the Fiesta, which they'll record and share through digital media.
The agents probably think of it a free car; we call it clever marketing.
Why is Ford handing out new cars to young people? The company wants to target the Fiesta at the 70 million Millennials born between 1979 and 1985. This group comprises 28 percent of the driving population and, says the company, hasn't yet established brand loyalty. We'd also wager that they want to avoid Toyota, Honda, and Nissan cars, since that's likely what their parents drove. Ewwwwwww.
These folks are high-volume users of social media and technology. More than half the content viewed by people born after 1980 comes from someone they know personally, so if they like their Fiestas, they'll tell their friends ... who'll tell their friends ... and so on.
Admirably, Ford is trying to get feedback from its likely customers before the car is launched. The company calls it the earliest chance it's ever had to get so much feedback ("unique" and "unfiltered") this far before the launch, which will be roughly a year from now.
The German-market cars they'll drive haven't been certified for sale here, so the EPA had to grant special permission to bring them. They've been updated to represent something close to the final US-spec car, though, with speedometers marked in miles per hour and English-language messages. The Bluetooth system still speaks with a British accent, though.
Each Fiesta is fitted with keyless entry and push-button start, Ford's EasyFuel capless fuel filler, 16" or 17" wheels, and other premium features.
The Fiesta has done well outside the US; it's Ford's second-best selling vehicle in 19 European markets, and response has been better than expected in China and other Asian markets. Cars for the North American market will be built in Cuautitlan, Mexico. The Fiesta will compete with the Honda Civic, Volkswagen Polo, Toyota Yaris, and Nissan Sentra, among others.

Bell's Palsy in Children
Bell's palsy is defined as an isolated unilateral lower motor neurone facial weakness of no obvious cause. It is the most common cause for acute facial nerve (VII cranial nerve) paralysis. The incidence has been estimated at around 20 to 25 cases per 100 000 population annually but the exact incidence in children is not known. It manifests as unilateral impairment of movement in the facial muscles, drooping of the brow and corner of the mouth, and impaired closure of the eye and mouth. Acute lower motor neurone facial paralysis is a common presentation in childhood. In most cases, an aetiological agent is not identified and the condition resolves spontaneously. We have reviewed the available literature for Bell's Palsy in children, along with in-depth evidence review for use of steroids and aciclovir in this condition.

How much would our favourite footballers be worth if they were bought for today’s prices?
Footballers cost a lot of money these days, don’t they? This summer, unproven strikers set clubs back £30 million, and a top centre-back nearly £80 million. Even Newcastle United spent £40 million on an uncapped Brazilian with just seven Bundesliga goals to his name.
Hard to get your head around, right? Well, you’re in the right place: helping you to understand finances is what we do here at TotallyMoney
We’ve taken the 100 most expensive transfers each season in Europe’s big five leagues – England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France – since the dawn of the Premier League in 1992. Armed with that data, we’ve produced the TotallyMoney Transfer Index and calculated the beautiful game’s unique “football inflation”, so we can see how much players from yesteryear would cost today.
And what did it tell us? Well, first of all, it seems that Neymar has lost his crown as the most expensive transfer of all time, to a former Watford manager…
How much would they be worth now?
£14.9 million from Sampdoria to Juventus in 1992 – £209 million today
While Sky was busy inventing football in England, Italy remained the glamorous home of footballing riches. In 1992-93, the seven most expensive transfers in Europe were all to Serie A clubs – and none were more expensive than Gianluca Vialli’s move to Juventus.
No stranger to huge amounts of money, Vialli, the son of a self-made millionaire, grew up in a 60-room castle in Lombardy. But even he would struggle to pay his transfer fee in today’s market: after consecutive seasons helping Sampdoria to their first ever Serie A title, then propelling them to the European Cup final, he moved to Turin for £14.9 million – worth £209 million in today’s market.
During his four seasons with the Bianconeri, he paid them back handsomely – eventually captaining the side to victory in the 1996 Champions League.
£200 million from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017 – £202 million today
In second place is everyone’s favourite perpetual wantaway, Neymar.
The Brazilian had already cost Barcelona £79.4 million when he moved from Santos as a 21 year old in 2013 – that fee, worth £145 million today, is enough to also place him 13th on our Transfer Index. But when the oil-rich Parisians came calling for the jewel in the Catalans’ crown – well, the achievable one – in 2017, they had to smash the world record to secure his signature.
The £200 million (£202 million today) they spent was more than double the previous record – Paul Pogba’s move to Manchester United for £95 million – and secured a player who would surely bring them the European success they craved.
As yet, it’s not quite happened. But then, if a club really wanted to buy success, it would go all out to sign a certain ab-rich Portuguese…
£84.6 million from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2009 – £195 million today
At Old Trafford, the young stepover fanatic developed into the world’s best player, winning three Premier League titles and the Champions League in the process.
He also picked up his first Ballon D’Or in 2008 – and so, as is the way of the world, was signed by Real Madrid the following summer. At £84.6 million his transfer fee broke the world record – it is equivalent to £195 million today.
He certainly did his bit to repay them, bringing Real the trophy they coveted more than any other: the Champions League they simply call la Décima – the tenth. Then he added three more, for good measure.
In fact, other than a cringeworthy documentary about his life, there was barely a misstep during nine years on the Bernabéu pitch. His five (to date) Ballons D’Ors is a joint record – tied with Lionel Messi, and you rarely hear those two mentioned in the same sentence. Ronaldo holds the record for most Champions League goals, with 126 (Messi: 112), most La Liga hat-tricks (34; Messi: 33), and most international goals for a European, with 93 (Messi: not European, but also only 68).
Plus, Messi has played his entire professional career for Barcelona, so he doesn’t feature on the Transfer Index.
Someone missing? Don’t worry — our interactive table has the full list.
The rest of the top 10
Romário joined Barcelona from PSV Eindhoven for £10.8 million in the summer of 1993 – £167 million today. He scored 39 goals in 65 matches, before suddenly leaving for Flamengo after falling out with Johan Cruyff, which everyone did at some point.
Gareth Bale moved to Real Madrid from Tottenham for a world record £90.9 million in 2013 – worth £167 million today. He has only won four Champions Leagues, scoring in two finals – one with a scarcely-believable overhead kick – so it’s no surprise the Bernabéu crowd haven’t really taken to the Welshman his teammates nickname “the golfer”.
In 2002, Sir Alex Ferguson identified Leeds United’s 23-year-old Rio Ferdinand as the man around whom to build a team which could challenge at the top for a decade. He was right: with six Premier League titles and a Champions League victory, he proved himself more than worth his British record £41.4 million fee – worth £159 million today.
Zinédine Zidane seemed to improve with age, and, at 29, is the oldest player at the time of their big-money move in our top 10. In 2001, Zizou – already a European Championships and World Cup winner – joined Real Madrid from Juventus for a world record fee of £69.8 million – £158 million today. A solid investment, he helped the club to a Champions League triumph as a player, scoring one of the great goals in the final: a first-time volleyed winner, hit with his weaker foot, from a looping Robert Carlos cross. As a manger, he’s done alright too – in each of the three seasons he’s finished as a coach, he’s delivered Real Madrid another Champions League trophy.
Ronaldo, the original one, was nicknamed by his compatriots O Fenômeno – The Phenomenon. By the time he moved from Inter to Real Madrid in 2002, for £40.5 million (£105 million today) the 25-year-old he was already a two-time World Cup winner. If Lionel Messi – an Argentine, no less – describes you as “the best striker I've ever seen”, you know you’re doing something right.
Ninth in our list is Alen Boksic, a Croatian striker who, in two seasons in France, turned his fortunes around dramatically. Struggling so much with injury in 1991-92 that he only managed one game for AS Cannes, the following season a move to Marseille saw him become Ligue 1’s top goalscorer, win the league title (though they were later stripped of it following a bribery scandal) and a controversial European Cup. As the fallout from the scandal was about to consign Marseille to an enforced relegation, Boksic made a move to Lazio in 1993, for £9.9 million – now worth £153 million. He would go on to play for Juventus and, arguably less glamorously, Middlesbrough – winning two Serie A titles and the Boro Supporters’ Club Play of the Year Award.
A year before Boksic left Marseille for Italy, Jean-Pierre Papin had done the same. Following six prolific seasons in France, AC Milan paid a world record £10.8 million for the striker – £152 million today. In an age in which Italian sides were only allowed three foreign players in their team, Papin struggled to settle – he had the formidable Dutch trio of Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten and Frank Rijkaard to compete with. Despite this, he came off the bench to play in the 1993 Champions League final – losing to his former club – and claimed a winner’s medal with the Italian side the following year.
Can money buy victory?
Parting with your hard-earned petro-millions is no guarantee of success – for every Didier Drogba or Kevin de Bruyne signed, there’s an Andy Carroll or a Denílson. For every Fernando Torres, there’s, well, a later-in-his-career Fernando Torres.
Let’s start with the Spaniard. At just 23, Torres made the move from his hometown of Madrid, where he played for Atlético, to spearhead Rafa Benitez’s Liverpool side. He cost £34.2 million at the time, £87.1 million now – not a minor outlay.
By January 2011, a 26-year-old Torres should have been reaching the prime of his career, and Chelsea parted with £52.7 million to sign him – £145 million. But it never quite worked out for him in London – his goal rate halved and he drifted out of favour. He eventually left London to return home to Atlético Madrid, with 45,000 fans turning out for his unveiling in the Spanish capital.
The same winter that Liverpool sold Fernando Torres, they replaced him – spending £36.9 million on a young Andy Carroll: £102 million today. The 6ft 4in striker had helped Newcastle United to promotion to the top flight, then scored 11 in 19 Premier League games in the first half of the season.
But he was unproven at the highest level, and the gamble didn’t pay off: Carroll scored just 11 goals in two-and-a-half seasons on Merseyside. Fortunately, Liverpool spent some of the spare Torres cash on a Uruguayan called Luis Suárez, who stepped in with more than his fair share of goals, and bagged them a tidy profit when he joined Barcelona in 2014.
Perhaps no flop is greater than Denílson.
Real Betis are known as Seville’s working-class club, in contrast to cross-town rivals Sevilla. So when they came into a bit of cash, courtesy of owner Manuel Ruiz de Lopera, they decided to make a statement: breaking the world record by splashing £28.4 million – £124 million today – on a 20-year-old fleet-footed Brazilian from São Paulo.
There’s a reason Betis didn’t go on to dominate European football. In seven seasons with Betis, Denílson scored just 13 La Liga goals, and gradually moved to the fringes of the squad. In his final year, he started just three games.

- About the exhibition
Kunst 12 Zürich
- Artists of the exhibition
Marc Fromm‘s carved reliefs and sculptures reflect the values of our every day culture. The artist introduces contemporary topics using the elaborate techniques of old mastery wood craft. Traditional religious altar scenes are reinterpreted as modern billboards just like former religious assurance is replaced by the promised land of advertising. Marc Fromm reveals the stereotypes of the advertisement industry and unmasks the fake glamour of today‘s commercialized products.
Henning von Gierke
For many years now, renowned Munich-based artist Henning von Gierke has been fascinating his public with his realistic style of painting. In his works, the artist questions human existence in the context of nature, religion and philosophy. Besides classical themes from Greek mythology and religious imagery, von Gierke also paints portraits, still-lives and domestic themes within his extensive artistic oeuvre. Beyond creating astonishing pictures on canvas, he is also well known as a stage-designer and director worldwide. For his creative impact in the film industry, he received two of the most acclaimed film awards in Germany - the German Movie Award in Gold and the Silver Bear at the Berlinale.
Matej Košir is a master of illusion. His laboratory is the image archive of art history. Crossing the genres of art he transforms the still lifes of famous old masters into sculptures and reproduces them by the modern medium of photography. Now, which one is the original and which one the copy? The Slovenian artist questions how we perceive and deal with those masterpieces in the age of mass media and mass reproduction - and he reveals how icons of art history become sickly-sweet fetishes.
Antonio Marra’s abstract works remain truly fascinating due to their surprising change of form and colour. Each of his multi-perspective paintings contains several more pictures which reveal themselves by circling around the canvas. Step by step the spectator is drawn into a vivid and dynamic kaleidoscope of shape and colour. Marra’s art is a surprising experience of unique visual and dimensional effects. This painter has come to his very own style reflecting and redefining the techniques of Op-art and Orphism.
Herbert Mehler’s steel sculptures embody archaic shapes from nature and geometry which may be associated with organic forms of plants and buds. „I am convinced that everyone of us has incorporated a set of basic patterns which affect the human perception.“ The sculptor intertwines organic and tectonic principles - the folded surfaces of his objects remind us of tree bark as well as classical Greek columns. Mehler’s curvelinear objects bend and turn suggesting energetic impetus as a metaphor for organic growth and vitality.
Yoshiyuki Miura’s works may be considered a systematizing regulation to the omnipresent chaos. With his sculptures and installations the Japanese artist reflects the relation of space and time. He leads force and counterforce in order to bring them into balanced state of tension and release. Miura creates objects which play with our perception of three-dimensionality and intrigue us by their extraordinary simplicity, precision and beauty.
The magical compositions by the Russian painter Slava Seidel visualize a world shifting between truth and illusion. Her sepia-ink drawings depict surreal scenes in stupendous architectural settings which create a feeling of tension, vertigo and dynamic. The artist masters to depict even the most complex architectural structures in contortion - despite the challenging ink-technique which does not allow any later corrections. Seidel’s technical precision is just as remarkable as her imaginary gift which takes us to unknown, fantastic realities.
Jorge Villalba’s intriguing hyperrealism and the exquisite perfection of technique constitute only the very first phase of aesthetic admiration of his art. Soon the focus is shifting to his ingenious modern interpretation of traditional mythological and biblical topics which demand deeper contemplation. By creating new prototypes the Spanish painter manages to reinvent the classic stories of art history. His art remains universal as it poses the eternal questions of life and humanity.
Moto Waganari creates transparent network-sculptures which outline a delicate body frame. By illuminating his sculptures the artists multiplies his three dimensional objects by a two dimensional shadow revealing the immaterial alter ego of every figure. His characters seem to visualize a surreal, parallel world filled with surprise and enigma. Moto Waganari’s sculptures seduce the spectator with their appealing beauty and sophisticated weightlessness.
Martin Willings sculptures are always based on simple geometric shapes and can stylistically be assigned to Concrete Art and Minimalism. However, his artworks unfold their special artistic and aesthetic appeal only after releasing the forces lying in the material properties, which manifest themselves in shapely movements of the sculptures. Martin Willing holds academic degrees in fine arts and physics and lives and works in Cologne.

DAYTON, Ohio – Led by Connor Kacsor’s 232 yards and four touchdowns in just 10 carries, the University of Dayton improved to 3-0 in the Pioneer Football League with a 41-7 win over Morehead State Saturday at Welcome Stadium. Dayton rolled up 443 yards on the ground, and 514 yards in total offense, while holding MSU to 136 and 312.
UD improved to 5-1 overall as well as 3-0 in the PFL. The Flyers have won four straight. Morehead State is now 2-5, and 1-3 in the PFL.
After the Golden Eagles took the opening kickoff, the two teams combined for three possessions and zero first downs until Kacsor took the ball 52 yards down the right sideline for a score. It was Kacsor’s first carry of the day, the first first down of the day, and of course the first score of the day.
In the second quarter, a Gabe Macis 14-yard punt return gave Dayton the ball on its own 41. Six plays and 58 yards later, Kacsor took it from the 11-yard line to put the Flyers up 14-0. Two possessions later, Kacsor opened and closed a second one play drive, this time running 63 yards for his third TD of the day.
A great individual play by defensive end Nate Sudnick gave UD a short field to work with just before the half. He batted an attempted screen pass up in the air and then tracked it down for an interception at the MSU 21-yard line. Two plays later, backup running back Jack Adams banged it in from the nine-yard-line to make it a 28-0 score at halftime.
Kacsor had 167 yards in the first half, and averaged 20.9 per carry on eight attempts. Incredibly, he would raise that per-carry average in the second half.
Dayton would receive the second half kickoff, and it went out-of-bounds to give the Flyers the ball on the 35. Kacsor carried the ball twice more — one run for four yards, and another scoring run for 61 – and then his day was done.
It was Kacsor’s third game of 200 yards of more this season, and his second game with four touchdowns. The Flyers came into the game with no offensive plays over 50 yards in 2014. By game’s end, Kacsor would have three of his own, and (spoiler alert) Kyle Sess would have one too.
Morehead State would get on the board with 51 seconds left in the game with a 16-play, 68-yard drive. Quarterback Austin Gahafer hit Jake Raymond from four yards out. Gahafer was 20 of 29 for 155 yards, and Raymond had five catches for 64 yards on the day.
Dayton closed out the scoring in the fourth quarter when utility man Sess (he came to UD as a quarterback, was moved to receiver and is now also operating out of the back field) scored on the longest play of the day, a 66-yard broken-field romp that was UD’s sixth rushing TD in the game. A PAT that hit the upright was the only blemish in the scoring column in in the contest for the Flyers.
Linebacker Christopher Beaschler led the Dayton defense with 17 tackles (10 solo), and a pass break up. Flyer back Ryan Schwenke added 11 hits. Safety Danny Leach contributed six hits, a sack, and forced and recovered a fumble.
The Eagles came into the game averaging 245.7 yards a game through the air, but the Dayton defensive pressure helped limit that to 176 yards thanks to three sacks and four QB hurries.
Dayton only had to throw the ball 14 times, but Ross Smith’s 13-yard reception in the third quarter gave him at least one catch in 26 straight games. Cory Stuart led the Flyers with three grabs for 27 yards.
While Kacsor grabbed the headlines, UD’s ground game was hitting on all cylinders.
Saturday was Dayton’s annual Football Alumni Game, and the guests of honor were the members of the 1984 team that went 10-0 in the regular season. That team’s offensive line referred to themselves as “The Moving Company,” and UD’s offensive line put on a show that would have made The Moving Company proud.
The Flyer starting front from left to right – Jimmy Vogel, Chris Cortopassi, Shane Toub, Soern Osborne and Zac Morgan –their linemates who also played – Trey Cole, Robert Delaney, Patrick Nuzzolese, Jim Hammontree, Chris Costa, and Spencer Luallen – along with tight ends Ian Palin and Gus Madden, and H back Jack Beebe, opened holes that led to a 9.6 yard per carry average on the day.
Four Flyers had more than 60 yards rushing. J.J. Greenwood carried the ball 15 times for 77 yards in his most extensive action of 2014 after bouncing back from an injury, Sess had 66 on three carries, and Adams gained 63 yards.
UD goes back on the road next Saturday, traveling for the third time in four weeks. Dayton is at PFL preseason favorite San Diego on Oct. 25. Game time at Torero Stadium is 9 p.m. ET.

Seventy-two percent of parents in a new poll say paying off debt is their chief financial priority for this year, rising to 80% among millennial respondents, New York Life reported this week.
Two-thirds of parents also said they planned to save more this year. But when asked what they would do if they should win $5 million, 58% said debt reduction would be one of the top three uses for their windfall.
Only a third of respondents said they would use the hypothetical jackpot to save for retirement.
“While reducing debt can be a worthwhile endeavor, a singular focus on it at the expense of other planning can be dangerous to a family’s overall financial well-being,” New York Life vice president Brian Madgett said in a statement.
“Adopting a protection-first financial planning approach is crucial, as even the best laid plans can get derailed without a strong long-term foundation.”
Ipsos conducted the survey in English in mid-November among 1,102 adults from the continental U.S., Alaska and Hawaii. Respondents had to have at least one child under age 18 living at home in order to participate.
Parents in the survey were generally optimistic about their finances in the year ahead, even though many had a debt load that could keep them from achieving financial stability. Fifty-eight percent said they expected their finances to improve this year, and 61% believed they would be better prepared for the unexpected.
Younger parents were particularly optimistic, 65% expecting their finances to improve this year, and 77% saying their families will be better prepared for the unanticipated contingencies.
Missing in all this was an action plan to make it happen. Only 28% of parents said it was important to have a financial plan in place to care for their children in the event something happened to them. And just 30% of respondents said they would seek expert advice this year, compared with 38% who said they would do so in the 2018 survey.
Younger parents in the poll were likelier to understand the importance of long-term planning, even with their focus on debt. Forty-four percent say they would pursue professional financial planning advice this year.
Madgett noted the disconnect between expectations and reality when it comes to financial planning as illustrated by the survey findings. “It’s encouraging to see a more positive outlook for 2019, especially among younger parents who have the benefit of time, but optimism can only carry us so far,” he said.

I was not terribly impressed with the musical output from 2009, but after compiling my Top Ten CDs from 2010 I discovered a bunch more that were better than most of last year’s list.
Since I could only offer ten selections for the official KPL Top Ten page, I present ten more great CDs from the past twelve months.

When it comes to music my heart is with the ladies, particularly indie/rock ladies who write their own songs and aren’t afraid to experiment with sound. My penchant for women in rock began in middle school with the discovery of my perennial favorites Tori Amos and PJ Harvey. In college came my serendipitous discovery of Kate Bush, whose album The Dreaming (available via MeLCat) perfectly epitomizes the weird, experimental sound I like so much. More recent favorites of mine include Regina Spektor, Neko Case, and The Fiery Furnaces (though Matthew Friedberger in this brother/sister group writes the music, I love lead-singer Eleanor Friedberger’s vocals). I am especially fond of Bat for Lashes; her melodic voice and storytelling tendencies remind me very much of both Tori Amos and Kate Bush.
My latest discovery is Florence + the Machine. Florence Welch’s voice is soulful, while her lyrics range from catty to literary to contemplative. Lungs, Florence + the Machine’s debut album, topped the charts in the UK for weeks in 2009, and although it didn’t make a dent on the US charts, I’ve heard a number of their songs pop up in movies and television shows. If you’re fond of any of the musicians that I’ve mentioned, I recommend giving Florence + the Machine a listen.

- November 19 down the years
Can't bat, can't bowl, can't fieldThe sporting events of November 19 down the years
There are only three things wrong with this England team, wrote Martin Johnson. They can't bat, can't bowl, and can't field. Despite these slight handicaps, they won the first Test of the series on their way to retaining the Ashes. Ian Botham blasted 13 fours and four sixes in his last Test century after the top order did their job, then pace bowler Graham Dilley took five wickets in the first innings and off-spinner John Emburey five in the second. It was Australia who didn't bat or field too cleverly. Forced to follow on, they lost by seven wickets while England sat back and enjoyed the sound of a journalist eating his words.
Not quite the nationwide jubilation of 2005, but close enough. This was the day London was selected to host the 1908 Olympics.
6 foot 9 inch James Oyebola won the vacant British heavyweight boxing title by stopping Clifton Mitchell in the fourth round. He lost the championship the following year and was murdered in 2007 for next to nothing: asking a group of men to put out their cigarettes in a London club. He was shot in the face and leg and his life support machine was switched off four days later. One of the four men was sentenced to 28 years for the killing.
In an American football college game in West Virginia, Liberty State beat Cedarville 127-0, Joe Kershalla scoring an astonishing 72 points.
Gail Devers was born. The dominant 100 metre hurdler of her day, she won five World Championship medals, including three golds - but couldn't get it right at the Olympics. In the 1993 final, she was clear in the lead when she smacked the last hurdle and staggered across the line in fifth. In 1996, she finished fourth. Some ample compensation came in the way of two surprise golds in the 100 metres in the same years, winning them by a combined margin of 0.01 seconds. Not bad for someone who suffered horribly from Graves' Disease, which cost her more than two years' training.
One of Ireland's best performances in recent rugby. Against a strong Australia team, they won 21-6, equalling their widest margin of victory over the Wallabies. Ireland scored the only two tries of the match, and Ronan O'Gara kicked 11 points as well as running the match from fly-half.
Dayron Robles was born in Guantanamo, Cuba. One of the smoothest 110 metres hurdlers, he's also fast, setting a world record of 12.87 in 2008, the same year he won the Olympic title.
Luigi Beccali was born. Italy's champion miler and Fascist icon: he gave the salute on the podium after winning the 1500 metres at the 1932 Olympics. His incredible sprint down the home straight took him past Phil Edwards from Canada and brought him an Olympic record ahead of Britain's John 'Jerry' Cornes. In the same event two years later, Beccali won the first ever European title, in Turin, where he'd equalled the world record in 1933. He broke it in Milan eight days later.
On this date, the Springboks enjoyed themselves abroad. In 2005, even with Percy Montgomery sent off (the red card was later rescinded), they were too strong for Wales in Cardiff, scoring four tries to one in a 33-16 win. Flying wing Bryan Habana scored two tries, and Montgomery kicked three penalties before being asked to leave.
In 2000, Montgomery kicked another three goals in a 28-18 win over Ireland in Dublin.
In 1994, South Africa scored five tries to one in outclassing Scotland 34-10. Scrum-half Joost van der Westhuizen scored the Springboks' first try at Murrayfield since Jannie Engelbrecht (the 1994 tour manager) in 1965.
The Scots don't like this date quite so much. In 1988, they lost 32-13 to Australia at home, David Campese scoring two of the Wallabies' five tries.
Meseret Defar was born in Ethiopia. In the 5,000 metres, she won gold at the 2004 Olympics and the 2007 World Championships as well as setting two world records. At the 2009 Worlds, she was expected to win the 5,000/10,000 double, but came away with just a single bronze after tying up in the finishing straight each time. She won three world indoor titles at 3000 metres.
José Raúl Capablanca was born. A chess genius who saw through the most complicated situations on the board with incredible clarity, he was the best player in the world long before he persuaded the ageing Emmanuel Lasker to put his world title at stake. When they met in 1921, the old man lost the match without winning a game. Considered unbeatable, almost the death of chess, Capa shocked everyone by losing the title in 1927 to the equally brilliant Aleksandr Alekhine (born 31 October 1892), who wisely never risked a rematch.
India lost to Pakistan despite Sunil Gavaskar's second century of the match, the second time he hit two hundreds in the same Test. On 2 January 1979, he became the first batsman to achieve the feat three times.

UPDATE -- Utica Police have made an arrest following a fight that took place between two groups of males on the MVCC campus on Friday afternoon.
Utica Police arrested 21 year-old Abdi H. Osman of Utica. They say he brandished a knife and attempted to stab members of the other group. While attempting to do this, he suffered a laceration to his hand and stabbed a member of his own group causing that individual to be transported to St. Elizabeth' s Hospital for emergency treatment.
Osman is facing Assault and Criminal Possession of a Weapon charges.
MVCC President Randall VanWagoner released a statement: ""We are committed to providing a safe and secure environment on our campuses and are proud of how our students, faculty, and staff followed shelter-in-place procedures and handled themselves during the situation. We are also thankful to the Utica Police Department and MVCC Public Safety for their actions and exceptional service to the Mohawk Valley community. Their partnership allowed us to handle this incident quickly and efficiently."
Both Utica Police and MVCC Campus Security will have increased police presence on campus for the foreseeable future to deter any potential future acts of violence.
UTICA, N.Y. – Utica police say the stabbing on Mohawk Valley Community College's Utica campus Friday was an isolated incident between two groups of people.
Police interviewed a person of interest in the incident after the scene was cleared and the lockdown was lifted.
MVCC was under lockdown for roughly an hour after a fight was reported on the Utica campus around 1 p.m.
Police and fire crews were dispatched to the scene at 1101 Sherman Dr. in Utica, where a Utica Police Department investigator says one person was stabbed and one person was cut during the altercation. Police say the two injured people were taken to the hospital for treatment.
Utica City School District canceled after-school activities after putting Proctor High School, Columbus Elementary School and Albany Elementary School on lockdown during the incident.
An emergency alert was originally sent out through the SUNY system advising students to shelter in place.
MVCC President Randall VanWagoner met with the crisis management team after the lockdown was declared.
More details on this incident will be released as they become available.

ANGRY swimmers have hit out at changes that will stop them from using public baths for morning sessions.
Users of Mill House Leisure Centre in Hartlepool slammed leisure bosses after being told they will have to be out of the swimming pool by 9am to make way for school children.
Swimmer Margaret Gavin, 65, says the changes will affect dozens of customers, including many pensioners, who swim for health reasons.
Mrs Gavin, who pays £90 a year to use the pool, said: “We don’t object to children learning to swim.
“We just can’t understand why something couldn’t have been organised where children either use it in afternoons or at a better time.
“A lot of people go because we have been referred by doctors or the hospital to keep us fit, and now they’re taking it away from us.
“Our argument is it’s a public swimming pool and the public aren’t going to be allowed to use it as such, only at strange times.
“We’re all really annoyed about it.”
From April, swimmers will not be able to use the pool between 9am and noon as it looks to save money because of financial presures.
Mrs Gavin, from Dyke House, added: “We know that there has to be cutbacks but feel that this is absolutely crazy.
“Surely it could be arranged for an 30 minutes or so access to paying customers rather than losing them.”
A council spokesman said: “We carried out an hour-by-hour, day-by-day analysis of business which showed that between 9am and noon the cost of staffing the pool currently far exceeds the income generated.
“From April, therefore, we intend to maximise use of the pool by reserving the 9am-noon session to cater exclusively for primary school swimming tuition during term-time.
“We are sorry if the proposed changes inconvenience people, and we would be happy to refund the money that Mrs Gavin has paid.
“However, we remain committed to trying to cater for the needs of all our customers and it is important to point out that there will still be a range of adult-only and general swimming opportunities both during term-time and during school holidays.”

The Dirty Nil - "Evil Side" | Northside Sessions
The Dirty Nil is conquering the world one show at a time, and with 350 shows played around the world over the past three years, they are well on their way. Emerging from Hamilton, Ontario, The Dirty Nil cut their teeth playing the dingiest and dirtiest of dive bars before they found themselves opening for and studying some of their own idols. Sharing arena and festival stages with the likes of Against Me!, FLAG, and Billy Talent, The Dirty Nil is living up to one of front man Luke Bentham's trademark remarks, "We don't really label ourselves other than just... the best band. That's our genre!"
So, we obviously had to invite "the best band" out to perform "Evil Side," taken from The Dirty Nil's acclaimed sophomore album, Master Volume. Filling our Toronto performance space with their stadium-worthy sound founded upon the most brilliant of rock and roll fantasies, it was easy to see why The Dirty Nil went home with a "Juno Award for Breakthrough Group of the Year." Plus, it doesn't hurt that, in our exclusive interview, we got to see the guys behind the band know how to kick back a joke or several.

Re-use Of Historical Buildings In The Holy City Of Makkah: Case Study Selection Guidelines
Free (open access)
63 - 74
M. I. Elbelkasy, J. M. AlSalafi, M. F. Mahmoud
When dealing with heritage conservation, the holy city of Makkah comes as one of the most sensitive cases to deal with. This is mainly due to the pace of development in the central area surrounding Almasjed Alharam (The Holy Mosque). This paper explores the standards of rehabilitation and re-using of historic buildings in that special region. The importance of the study arises from the urgent need to address issues of heritage and conservation amid fast developments and transformations of the urban fabric of the holy city of Makkah. The methodology is based on both theoretical and applied analytical approaches. Theoretically, the research contextualizes for the development of the holy city of Makkah, by introducing its heritage, socio-economic, cultural and political factors that have been on the scene for long. Finally, the study concludes by presenting a case study for dealing with heritage buildings within the context of development that is taking place in the area.

With concern over the environment and the future of oil supplies, smart cars are increasing in popularity as designers focus on implementing techniques to reduce our dependence on oil and our impact on the environment. Increasing in popularity right along with the smart car concept are smart car jokes.
Smart cars are often spoke of as the automobiles of the future, and they seem to be getting smaller, and smaller, and smaller. The diminutive designs have made for many jokes, and more than a few humorous images. What would happen if some of the world’s leading luxury car designers began to follow suite in the smart car craze? Are we evolving from horsepower to ponypower?
Shrunken down versions of luxury car brands could then expand (or shrink) to include the Smorvette, the Smamborghini, the Smustang, the Smemarri, the Smaudi, and the Smorsche! While all of these are of course simply concept cars, the small concept makes for a big dose of amusement. Imagine rolling up to pick up a date in your new Smorshe…unless it is a one-and-a-half seater.

RALPE CT Pendular Gearboxes
They are used in numerous industry types, from large drives to small machinery. Coupled to the motors, these work at different speeds to what they were manufactured for.
They can be installed horizontally or vertically.
They are manufactured with i:15 transmission ratio, covering a large range of transmissible power values between 0.52 to 230 kW, with starting speed between 10 to 200 rpm.
The CT gearboxes are quiet and high performing, reducing maintenance requirements to lubricant change and control, and oil retaining rings.
The tensor provided with each gearbox allows to tighten the transmission belt comfortably and easily.
Power: From 0.52 to 230 kW
Starting speed: 10 to 200 rpm
The gears are manufactured in hardened steel, hardening and tempering and nitriding.
All shafts are built on tapered roller bearings and ball bearings.
The primary shaft is activated through v-belts or any other transmission method by the motor, which can either be fixed to the floor or to the machine.
In the CT gearboxes the reaction generated by the exit shaft can be borne by a reaction arm fixed anywhere in the periphery of the gearbox housing. Preferably the furthest away from the reaction point and anchored to the ground or fixed to the machine from one end, so the housing is immobilised. The length of this arm can be adjusted by a tensor and it is used to secure the primary transmission tension with pulleys, removing the need for motor drives.
If, due to the work required, the gearbox suffers continuous changes of direction of travel or large overloads, it is preferable to install two reaction tensors.

Several major cruise lines have officially imposed a ban on the use of Galaxy Note 7, Samsung’s newest product, on-board due to multiple reports of the device exploding due to a faulty battery causing the phones to catch on fire.
This has emerged just a few days after Samsung resumed sales of new Note 7 globally having already sold 1 million devices. By this date several users had uploaded photos and videos of charred phones online after the device, named ‘the most beautiful phone of 2016’, had burst into flames and exploded.
The world’s largest and second largest cruise ship operators, Royal Caribbean and Carnival, have introduced the ban of the use of Note 7 on-board to both passengers and crew members since the news emerged.
Carnival has issued a precaution notice on its website: ‘Guests and crew in possession of an applicable Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphone must take the following precautions whilst onboard: turn off device, disconnect device from any charging equipment, disable all applications that could involuntary activate the device (e.g. alarm clock) and finally protect the power switch to prevent its unintentional activation.’
Several other cruise lines have issued the ban, including Celebrity, Cunard, Princess, Holland America Line, Azamara, TUI, Crystal, Seabourn and P&O. It is yet to be confirmed how the phone ban is being enforced and whether there are any penalties for those who don’t comply.
Disney Cruise Line posted signs in the terminals asking passengers not to use the device during the voyage and stated in its blog: ‘If you own a Galaxy Note 7 and have not replaced your recalled device, please power it off and do not charge it for the duration of the cruise. We recommend storing electronics and valuables in your stateroom safe.’
Samsung has since begun the replacement process for the entire line and has released its official statement on the matter: ‘Samsung is committed to producing the highest quality products and we take every incident report from our valued customers very seriously.
In response to recently reported cases of the new Galaxy note 7, we conducted a thorough investigation and found a battery cell issue. Our customers’ safety is an absolute priority at Samsung, so we have stopped sales of the Galaxy Note 7.
For customers who already have Galaxy Note 7 devices, we will voluntarily replace their current device with a new one over the coming weeks. We acknowledge the inconvenience this may cause in the market but this is to ensure that Samsung continues to deliver the highest quality products to our customers’.
Despite Samsung’s plan to release replacement devices, the cruise lines are still taking the necessary precautions with an official ban until further notice and by bringing passengers’ attention to the current risk of the device.
So, what are your thoughts on the news? Are you shocked at the danger of Samsung’s new device? Do you agree with the ban that most cruise lines have introduced? Leave us your thoughts!

Open Individual Export Licences (OIELs)
If you want to export controlled goods, such as military or dual-use items, to specific countries, you will need an export licence from the Export Control Organisation (ECO).
The basic export licence, the Standard Individual Export Licence (SIEL), gives you permission to export specific items to specific destinations. The goods must be addressed to a stated person or company, and you also have to identify the end user. The goods must be of the same quantity and value as described on the licence.
An Open Individual Export Licence (OIEL) is a type of licence issued by the ECO which is more flexible and tailored to an exporter's needs. OIELs allow a named exporter to export multiple shipments of specific goods to specific countries, subject to meeting detailed terms and conditions.
This guide provides information on the type and duration of Open Individual Export Licences, eligibility for an OIEL and the relevant legislation for OIELS.

|Number of pages:
Synopsis: Golf fiction's finest hustler--The Green's Eddie Caminetti--returns in a laugh-out-loud novel featuring a foursome of upwardly mobile golf fanatics who get their just rewards.
Tired of hustling for something as ordinary as money, Eddie, in The Foursome, sets his sights slightly higher than other men's pockets: he goes after their souls. He now presides over Swithen Bairn, an exquisite secret golf course that's a kind of twisted Fantasy Island where the arrogant and pompous find their cherished dreams suddenly transformed into their worst nightmares.
Enter the foursome of the title, four enviably successful businessmen/golf junkies lured to Swithen Bairn by an irresistible offer: "The most memorable golf vacation you ever had or you don't pay." It's been said that you can learn more about people during one round of golf than you can living next door to them for six months, and in one round with Eddie Caminetti these four hapless sinners learn more about themselves than they could have in six years of analysis. By the end of their second match, the dizzying amount of money at stake will be the least of their worries, and "memorable" won't even begin to describe this bizarre vacation.
Mixing equal parts of suspense, hilarity, and raw human drama, Troon McAllister deftly shows readers what can happen when money, friendship, ambition, and greed converge explosively in a single round of golf. As Eddie Caminetti himself puts it in The Foursome, "Why do you think they call the devil Scratch?"

Report: Six Months Later, Charges, Details Surface in St. Patrick’s Day Shooting
Investigators go from collecting shell casings on Fifth Ave. to digging for evidence in Colorado dirt to build case
By Brandi Makuski
After months of chasing down witnesses and persons of interest across several counties and two states, Stevens Point police have finally been able to file charges against an accused murderer.
Kyle Engen, of Marshall, Wis., spent his 31st birthday behind bars after being arrested in Colorado and transported by U.S. Marshals back to Wisconsin. Engen eluded authorities for more than a month following the shooting of former UW-Stevens Point student Deonta Lezine, 21, during a drug deal gone bad near campus. Engen is the only suspect in Lezine’s death.
Portage Co. District Attorney Louis Molepske previously said Engen had to first deal with probation revocation charges in Dane Co. before he could officially be charged with Lezine’s death. Charges against Engen were filed in Portage Co. on Sept. 1.
The police report reads almost like a crime novel, involving dozens of characters in its 15 pages and detailing various elements of the crime — before, on and after March 17.
Officers responded to a parking lot at the intersection of Fifth and Minnesota avenues after reports of gunshots were made at about 7:46 PM on St. Patrick’s Day. Numerous witnesses reported hearing several gunshots, followed by the sound of a vehicle speeding away with tires squealing. According to the criminal complaint, one witness said they saw at least one of the car windows had been shattered.
While securing the scene, police found five spent .380 shell casings and two piles of shattered glass in the parking lot.
Around the same time, officers received word that a man, later identified at Lezine, had been found at Berg Gym on the UWSP campus with “suspicious injuries.” Based on the timing and proximity, an officer was dispatched to determine if the two calls were related.
A bloody trail to the HEC
When police arrived at Berg Gym, located inside the university’s Health Enhancement Center (HEC), EMT’s from the Stevens Point Fire Dept. were already on scene and treating Lezine, who was described by a supervising EMT as being “very bloody and covered in broken glass,” according to police documents.
As one officer accompanied Lezine to St. Michael’s emergency department — Lezine would later be transported to Aspirus in Wausau — another officer remained at Berg Gym to investigate the scene.
According to witness statements, two men inside the building witnessed Lezine “stumble” into one of the doors, covered in blood. When they asked if he was okay, Lezine replied, “I’m good”, but other words he spoke were garbled. The men followed Lezine into the locker room, where a third man said he grabbed Lezine to prevent him from falling over. The men attempted to stop Lezine’s bleeding with paper towels after calling 911.
Lezine suffered from a life-threatening “penetrating gunshot wound on the front left side of his head,” according to the complaint. He was soon taken to the Level II Trauma Center in Wausau, where he clung to life until March 25. Lezine’s cause of death is listed as respiratory depression due to cerebral trauma, caused by the gunshot.
Police were able to follow a bloody trail leading into the Berg Gym and the locker room area. The trail lead officers outside to an empty 2005 Ford Taurus — which police later discovered belonged to Lezine’s girlfriend — in the gym parking lot. According to police documents, the car’s back window and left rear window were broken, and blood was visible in the back seat and on the outside of the vehicle.
A bullet hole was visible on the rear driver’s side quarter panel, according to the complaint; another in the back of the driver’s seat. Police located one “deformed and fired bullet” resting in the driver’s seat; another fired bullet was later found in the car’s trunk. Police determined at least one shot was fired from the backseat of the vehicle.
The drug deal
According to witness interviews, Kyle Engen came to Stevens Point believing Deonte Lezine and his roommate, who lived on the 100 block of Minnesota Ave., intended to purchase two pounds of marijuana for a price of $7,200.
Lezine’s roommate said he fled to his mother’s house in Racine after he, Lezine and another man parted ways at the Berg Gym, but returned a call to Stevens Point police at about 3:30 AM on March 18 to provide some answers about the night in question.
The roommate said he had been introduced to Engen — who he knew only by the name “Bud” — several months earlier during a previous drug deal, and arranged on March 16 to meet the following day for the drug deal via text message. Police later discovered “Bud” was Engen based on the phone number in the roommate’s cell phone.
The roommate told police he only had $600 to purchase the drugs, but knew Engen wouldn’t make the trip from Dane Co. unless he believed the two were spending $7,200.
The roommate said he and Lezine planned to steal the drugs instead.
The two men, along with a male neighbor, arranged to drive Lezine’s girlfriend’s car to meet Engen at a gas station on Stanley Street. Engen asked for a public meeting place because he’d been robbed during three previous drug deals, according to the complaint.
The roommate drove the vehicle, while Lezine sat in the backseat; their neighbor rode in the front passenger seat.
According to the roommate, after meeting at the gas station Engen would get into their vehicle and the group would exchange money and drugs in a nearby parking lot.
Instead of paying Engen, the roommate said the plan was for Lezine, who had been a Golden Gloves boxer, to punch Engen in the jaw to render him unconscious. The trio would then take possession of the marijuana and remove Engen from the vehicle.
But the plan backfired. The roommate reported to police Lezine and Engen began to argue, then punch each other in the backseat. Lezine then pushed Engen out of the car and yelled, “Go, go, go!”
It was not immediately clear in the complaint if the group successfully took possession of the drugs, but as the roommate drove away he said he heard “four or five gunshots” coming from behind the vehicle, one of which he believes grazed his left shoulder blade.
Police interviewed the roommate multiple times through March and April before they could complete a picture of the events he witnessed; the neighbor who rode along that night confirmed much of the roommate’s story, according to the complaint.
Working with officers in Dane Co., a Stevens Point detective searched Engen’s trailer home in Marshall on March 19. Engen wasn’t present, though his mother and girlfriend were, and officers located marijuana and cocaine in the residence, but nothing specifically related to the shooting in Stevens Point.
Engen’s neighbors pointed police to a local man who had previous dealings with Engen, and whose ex-wife had sold Engen two guns in April of 2014 — one of which was a Taurus .380 handgun. None of the subjects interviewed in Marshall could point police to Engen’s current location.
On March 25, detectives identified the man who drove Engen to Stevens Point for the drug deal. The man, a Dane Co. resident, told police he agreed to drive Engen to the area for $150, wait for him at a nearby gas station, then drive him back to Dane Co. after the drug deal was complete.
Initially, the Dane Co. man told police he waited at the gas station for “10-15 minutes without hearing from [Engen],” so he returned to Dane County. But when investigators said they didn’t believe him, the man admitted Engen did return after about 10 minutes, “sweating and out of breath, and [he] appeared to have been in a scuffle.”
Engen told the man “they tried to rob him,” and said he needed to get back to Madison “as soon as possible,” according to the complaint.
Engen’s phone records showed police he’d been in recent contact with a woman in Granby, Colo. On April 15, investigators contacted police in Granby to ask about the woman, and whether Engen had been seen in the area.
On April 21, a police officer in Granby positively identified Engen as a guest in the woman’s home. Granby police worked with U.S. Marshals to apprehend Engen, who was outside the home smoking a cigarette, without incident, later that day.
Finding the murder weapon
In her phone interview with police, the Colorado woman said Engen contacted her via Facebook on March 14 to say he “needed to come out to Colorado,” but did not say why. Upon his arrival on March 22 or 23, Engen told the woman about the drug deal, and described the shooting as “sometimes accidental but at other times as self-defense,” according to the complaint.
The woman told police Engen said five of the shots were fired inside the car on March 17, with a sixth shot being fired from outside the vehicle. It was not clear in the complaint if police were able to verify that claim.
He also told the woman police wouldn’t be able to find his gun because it had been buried “five feet underground” on a horse farm in the Village of Rio, Wis., according to the complaint. Detectives later identified a man from Stoughton, Wis., who admitted to burying the weapon on Engen’s behalf.
The Stoughton man told police he met with Engen on the morning on March 18 at Engen’s trailer in Marshall, where he said Engen gave him the handgun wrapped in a white t-shirt.
The man said he later poured rock salt into the gun, hoping it would aid in decomposition, and tried to break the gun into pieces using a hammer, before dropping it into a five-foot-deep hole on rural property owned by an acquaintance in Columbia County.
Investigators interviewed the property owner on April 22, who eventually admitted he knew Engen had been involved in a drug-related shooting, and that during a visit to his property the Stoughton man had gone off by himself to dispose of the gun.
A Stevens Point police detective was one of two investigators to physically dig “four-to-five feet” into the ground to retrieve the gun, which reportedly had a broken plastic grip and was covered in dirt and rock salt when it was found. The gun appeared to match a photograph of the .380 previously sold to Engen.
What happens now
Engen remains in custody, though it was not immediately clear if he has yet been transported to Portage County. A message requesting clarification from Assistant Police Chief Tony Babl on Friday was not immediately returned.
For Lezine’s death, Engen faces one charge of second-degree intentional homicide, which carries a maximum penalty of 60 years. Two additional charges of attempted second-degree intentional homicide — for the attacks on the other two men in the car that night — carry maximum sentences of 30 years each.
A fourth charge against Engen — possession of a firearm by a felon — comes with a 10-year possible sentence if convicted. The complaint was signed by Assistant District Attorney David Knaapen, who has also been assigned to the case.
Engen is listed in court records as a repeat offender, with past felony burglary and drug convictions in Dane Co., and stands to see up to 37 years of additional time for all charges if convicted.
It was not immediately clear if other people involved in the case would be charged for their involvement. Knaapen did not respond to a message left in his office on Friday.
According to a news release from Babl, a press conference would be held on Thur., Sept. 15 at the Stevens Point Police Dept., where officers and Molepske will answer further questions.
Engen is scheduled to make his initial appearance before Portage Co. Judge Thomas Flugaur on Sept. 29 at 3 PM.

Octahedral core-shell cuprous oxide/carbon with enhanced electrochemical activity and stability as anode for lithium ion batteries
Core-shell Cu2O/C octahedrons are synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method with the help of carbonization of glucose, which reduces Cu(II) to Cu(I) at low temperature and further forms carbon shell coating at high temperature. SEM and TEM images indicate that the carbon shell is amorphous with thickness of similar to 20 nm wrapping the Cu2O octahedral core perfectly. As anode of lithium ion batteries, the core-shell Cu2O/C composite exhibits high and stable columbic efficiency (98%) as well as a reversible capacity of 400 mAh g(-1) after 80 cycles. The improved electrochemical performance is attributed to the novel core-shell structure, in which the carbon shell reduces the electrode polarization and promotes the charge transfer at active material/electrolyte interface, and also acts as a stabilizer to keep the octahedral structure integrity during discharge-charge processes.

10. X. THE CRYING OF THE MAN. (continued)
"Ruin the work of a lifetime," I heard Moreau say.
"He does not understand," said Montgomery. and other things that were inaudible.
"I can't spare the time yet," said Moreau.
The rest I did not hear. I picked myself up and stood trembling, my mind a chaos of the most horrible misgivings. Could it be possible, I thought, that such a thing as the vivisection of men was carried on here? The question shot like lightning across a tumultuous sky; and suddenly the clouded horror of my mind condensed into a vivid realisation of my own danger.

Pandora Media Inc. (NYSE: P), the popular online music streaming app, recently announced that it would cap free mobile listening at 40 hours per month due to rising royalty costs.
The Oakland, Calif.-based company, which figures out what music you'll like based on the music you already do like, relies mainly on advertising as its core revenue stream and is reportedly struggling as a result of growing competition from the likes of Spotify and Sirius XM Radio Inc. (NYSE: SIRI).
While Pandora Radio claims 150 million registered users, track royalty rates have increased more than 25 percent over the last three years, including 9 percent in 2013 alone and are set to increase an additional 16 percent over the next two years, co-founder Tim Westergren wrote in a blog posted on the company's website.
"After a close look at our overall listening, a 40-hour-per-month mobile listening limit allows us to manage these escalating costs with minimal listener disruption," he said.
Pandora is currently lobbying lawmakers in U.S. Congress to pass the Internet Radio Fairness Act, which would change regulations on how royalties are paid to artists. Users of the online streaming service can even get in on the legal fun by signing a petition, according to a commercial that one can hear while listening to music via the application.
The commercial suggests that online streaming music companies like Pandora pay a different rate to license music than traditional radio companies.
According to Westergren’s blog post, the cap will affect less than 4 percent of its total monthly active listeners as an average listener uses only about 20 hours listening to Pandora.
Listeners who reach the 40-hour limit can pay 99 cents for unlimited listening for the remainder of the month, or subscribe to Pandora One for unlimited listening and no advertising, he wrote.
In October 2012, Rolling Stone gave Pandora an 85 percent chance of survival, saying the user base is loyal enough to overcome the company's inherent financial problem.
"The streaming business is obviously growing and booming. It's north of a billion-dollar business now," Alex Luke, executive vice president of A&R for the Capitol Label Group, whose artists include the Beatles, Katy Perry and Coldplay, told RS in a previous interview. "But it's still in its infancy."

If there is any film with a chance to steal the ultimate glory from ‘La La Land’ at this years Oscars it is ‘Moonlight’. The film has been adapted from the play ‘In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue’ by, only second time writer & director, Barry Jenkins. Along with fellow Best Picture nominee ‘Hidden Figures’, ‘Moonlight’ will be the last of this years nominations to hit UK cinema screens.
The film features an array of performers, many of which are the subject of a lot of the awards buzz around the picture. Supporting cast members Janelle Monáe & Mahershala Ali who play an onscreen couple are only two examples of this. Whilst only having very small roles within the film they add a lot of quality to their scenes and as a result to the film as a whole. It is however Naomie Harris who steals the show from the supporting cast in what could be a career best performance from the actresses, it is certainly the best I have ever seen her. Moving from the supporting to the leading cast, the nature of the film allows for three different lead actors, all portraying a different stage in the life of our main character Chiron. The continuity achieved between the three actors thanks to the likeness they managed to create is something else and the progression between each of these time periods therefore felt effortlessly natural. Alex Hibbert, Ashton Sanders & Trevante Rhodes all do wonderfully with the role, each facing different challenges that come with the different stages of life Chiron is at. By the end of the film we certainly feel like we have grown up with Chiron and much credit is due to the three actors who portray him here.
The division of the narrative into three sections was a good move allowing for a clear and accessible structure for the film although it has to be said that the film is rather slow paced. At times this worked but in other moments this became an issue. The drama included in the story in specific moments was very engaging and you felt like you were right in the centre of this with Chiron however it failed to really grip me as a whole. The subject matter focused on in the film is quite specific, it’s not immediately relatable or connectable. This is by no means a flaw, if we only watched films that we could relate to our cinemas would be a very dull place but instead it could be a reason why some might find this film hard to enjoy or appreciate.
I did appreciate ‘Moonlight’ but I didn’t necessarily overly enjoy it. There is no doubt that Jenkins has adapted this character very well and you will have a fondness for him from early on in the film, the piece looks good and he gets the most out of his entire cast. The drama is at times very enthralling but I have to conclude that this detailed character study just wasn’t for me. ‘Moonlight’ will have it’s audience and I’ve no doubt they will love it, whereas others will want something slightly more. I fall into the latter category but nonetheless can’t deny the many great elements of film-making on show here.
Rating – 7.5/10

The PlayStation Network store will soon undergo a revamp to better advertise games on the platform, new reports claim.
It is said that the redesign will usher in a more image-driven layout, following alleged feedback that the store is too text heavy.
Anonymous sources speaking to Reg Hardware said the new design will feature "an aesthetic layout with logically marked sections and rolodex lists".
It is also rumoured that a new live search method will be applied, where results start appearing as characters are entered (much like Google Instant).
The PlayStation firm is also thought will launch a ‘deals of the week’ section within its next online store – likely a step forwards towards a more fluid pricing model similar to Steam’s, where game prices fall dramatically during promotions.

On April 29th, the Coalition for National Science Funding (CNSF), an alliance of more than 140 professional organizations, universities, and businesses, held their 21st Annual Capitol Hill Exhibition. CNSF supports the goal of increasing the Federal investment in the National Science Foundation’s research and education programs, and the exhibition itself is a great way to show members of Congress and their staff what research the American people have funded.
This year the Computing Research Association, a member of CNSF, sponsored three students–two Ph.D. candidates and a defended Ph.D. candidate–from Johns Hopkins University to come to Washington to demonstrate their work. Kelleher Guerin (the defended Ph.D. candidate) and Amanda Edwards demonstrated their collaborative robot for manufacturing, called CoSTAR; while Colin Lea demonstrated a virtual reality interface that can be used to more easily program robots by novice, non-technical users. All three young researchers are advised by Greg Hager, professor and chair of the Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University and Chair of the Computing Community Consortium; Hager was also in attendance at the event and fielded questions.
