Boston Rob is considered to be one of the single best Survivor players of all time. A "natural", according to Jeff Probst, Boston Rob understood the game on a level never seen before. He forever changed the strategic landscape, showing players that followed elements of the game never considered before.
Boston Rob is one of only two four time survivor players, and is currently the record holder for the most days spent on the show, with 117. Rob plays a gutsy game characterized by strong alliances ruled with throat-squeezing control, which has had varying results. Twice he has made the final tribal council, but twice he has been voted out just before the jury phase of the game.
Rob first appeared on season four, Survivor: Marquesas. He was quick to form close alliances, however his game was hampered somewhat by the physical weakness of his Maramamu tribe. Maraamu lost the first three immunity challenges, leaving Rob at a severe numbers disadvantage that he was never able to overcome. Although he made the merge, he was seen as too big of a threat by the majority alliance, and voted out in 10th place, just before the jury.
Despite his pre-jury finish, Rob was a big character, and made enough of an impression in season four to return four seasons later for season eight, Survivor: All Stars. All Stars was a cast of the most successful and memorable survivors who had played the game, and Rob was placed on the physically strong Chapera tribe. He formed alliances with everyone, including a tight alliance with Amber Brkich, who would later become his wife. Rob dominated the season strategically, but despite making it to the final tribal council, he had to betray many alliance members and friends along the way. The jury punished him for his poor social game, and he lost to Amber in a 4-3 vote.
Rob returned to survivor as a villain for season 20, Heroes vs. Villains. He assumed a position of leadership within the tribe, and was well liked and respected. However, he was determined to vote out Russell Hantz, and this led to his undoing. With some clever idol play and some strategic manipulation, Russell was able to dismantle Rob's alliance and send Rob home in 12th place, again before the jury phase started.
Rob's rivalry with Russell was so intense that CBS devoted an entire season to the two of them squaring off. Survivor 22: Redemption Island featured Rob on one tribe, and Russell on the other. Russell was voted out of the game early, but Rob was able to use his previous experience to manipulate his tribe and play one of the most dominant games that Survivor has ever seen. He made it to the final tribal council, and took along with him two players that had no chance to win, Phillip Shepherd and Natalie Tenerelli. He was voted the winner over Phillip and Natalie in an 8-1-0 vote.
Boston Rob changed the game on many levels. He believed in loyalty above anything else. He chose alliance members he could control over any strengths they might bring into the mix. He used intimidation to maintain his control over his alliance and dominate the game.
Boston Rob's first appearance was in season four, Survivor: Marquesas, where he was on the Maraamu tribe. Before season four, the accepted way to win Survivor was to reach the merge with a numbers advantage (which was accomplished by voting out the weaker members of the tribe) and then vote out all members of the opposing alliance. However, Rob did not value strength in an alliance member. He only valued loyalty, and would vote out the strong in order to ensure that he remained in control of the group.
Maraamu lost the first three immunity challenges, and Rob refused to follow common Survivor wisdom and vote out the tribe's weakest member, Sarah Jones, because he knew that she would always vote with him. He protected her, and the first two people off were Peter Harkey and Patricia Jackson. After the third immunity challenge, Rob made a shocking move, voting out the strong and likable Hunter Ellis, who was arguably the strongest player in the game. This move allowed Rob to take control over the remaining members of the Maraamu tribe.
In a confessional, Rob explained, "It's a tough principle, but fear keeps people loyal. If they're afraid they have something to lose, then they'll do what they're told to do. That's straight out of the godfather. It's true." It was confessionals like this that won the hearts of Survivor fans worldwide.
The game soon changed for Rob, when a tribe switch put him (along with his alliance members Sean Rector and Vecepia Towery) on the Rotu tribe, and at a numbers disadvantage. Sean and Rob did not get along well with the hard working Rotu tribe, preferring the fun loving atmosphere that they had enjoyed over at Maraamu. Rotu was run by a strong four person alliance, and Rob was seen as a threat to their power. When Rotu lost immunity, Rob was on the chopping block. However, Gabriel's noncommittal attitude and unpredictable behaviour led to him being voted out instead.
Rob and Sean made a deal with the remaining Rotu tribe to vote as a block at the merge, even against former Rotu member, Kathy. While, if the deal held, this would put Rob in a final five situation, Rob attempted to flip it instead, wanting to be the head of his own alliance. When the tribes merged, Rob volunteered to take on the role of tribe ambassador, and he and Kathy Vavrick O'Brien spent a night together designing a new tribe flag. Rob tried to convince Kathy that her previous tribemates were in an alliance together. Kathy was concerned, but gave her old tribemates the benefit of the doubt.
When the tribe was together, Rob exposed the "Rotu Four" alliance, challenging Zoe on the deal he had made with them in front of Kathy. Rob wanted to pull Kathy over to his side with Sean and Vecepia, thereby putting himself in control again but Kathy was not ready to make a move and Rob paid the price for it. Ultimately, his plan failed, and he was voted out 7-2-1, with Rob's ally Vecepia joining with the previous Rotu members to vote for Rob. Rob finished in 10th place, one place shy of joining the jury and forever changing how the game was played.
Rob was a big character during Marquesas, and played the game in a way that nobody had seen before. He was offered the chance to return to Survivor as part of the season eight, Survivor: All-Stars season. There were three tribes of six people (Chapera, Mogo Mogo and Saboga), and Rob was placed on the Chapera tribe, along with 'Big' Tom Buchanan (Africa), Rob Cesternino (Amazon), Amber Brkich (Australia), Alicia Calaway (Australia) and Sue Hawk (Borneo). It didn't take long for Rob and Amber to begin flirting, and they created a solid two person alliance.
Chapera was a physically dominant tribe, and Rob only had to go to one tribal council before the merge. At this tribal council, Rob was not in danger of being voted out, due partly to his challenge strength, and partly to the fact that he had alliances with every member of his tribe. At that tribal council, Boston Rob, realizing that Rob Cesternino was the only member of the Chapera tribe whose game could not be predicted or controlled, voted with the rest of the tribe to send Rob Cesternino home. Shortly after this, the Saboga tribe was dissolved, and Rupert Boneham and Jenna Lewis became part of the Chapera tribe. Rob and Amber quickly established alliance with them also.
On Day 22, there was a tribe reshuffle that brought all former members of Mogo Mogo to the Chapera tribe, and swapped all members of Chapera (minus Amber) to Mogo Mogo. Amber was left alone and without protection. When Amber's tribe Chapera lost immunity, Rob reached out to Chapera leader Lex, who Rob was friends with outside of the game. He promised Lex that if Lex would take care of Amber, then Rob would take care of Lex. Lex and his ally Kathy (from Rob's original season, Marquesas) believed Rob's promise, and at tribal council, Amber was spared and Jerri Manthey was voted out.
The two tribes then merged into one, and Lex looked for an opportunity to solidify his alliance with Rob. However, Rob had too many alliances to honor them all, and knew that if he was to go with Lex, he would anger all of his former tribemates. He told a devastated Lex and Kathy that the deal was off. Lex was sent home at the next tribal council, followed by Kathy.
Rob was then faced with the problem of having to vote out one of his alliance members. He had made a promise with Alicia never to write her name down, but she was the next person sent home. ShiiAnn, the last original Mogo Mogo member, soon followed.
At the final five, Rob and Amber were an unbreakable duo, and this was the greatest threat to their game. Realizing that the remaining tribe members could foreseeably join together and vote Rob out, he pitted Tom and Rupert against each other, stirring them into an argument. Although he promised Tom that they were still in an alliance, Tom was voted out unanimously that night, and left tribal council furious with Rob.
Rob was able to coerce Jenna into voting with him and Amber, as she was not willing to let the vote go to a tiebreaker, fearing that she would be forced to draw rocks. Rob then won the final immunity challenge, and chose to go to the final two with Amber.
At final tribal council, despite apologizing for his aggressive gameplay, Rob was attacked by a very bitter and angry jury. Many of them were upset that Rob had used the friendships that he had formed outside of the game to advance himself further. At the reunion, Rob proposed to Amber in front of a live TV audience, just before the votes were read and it was revealed that Amber had won the season 4-3.
Rob returned to the game 12 seasons later for Heroes vs. Villains, and was placed on the villains tribe. Survivor had evolved so much since season 8, with hidden immunity idols being the biggest change, but Rob was still able to play his strong social game, and became the leader of the tribe, leading them in making fire, building a shelter, and physically dominating in the challenges.
Rob built a close alliance with Tyson Apostol, who brought with him his ally from his previous season, Coach. The three men were joined by Sandra Diaz Twine, Jerri, and Courtney Yates. A dismayed Parvati Shallow bonded with newcomer Russell Hantz (whom none of them had seen play) and Danielle DiLorenzo. At the Villains' first tribal council, Randy Bailey was voted off for being the weakest. However, after this, Rob began to target players that he didn't trust, such as Russell and Parvati. The Villains tribe had found a clue to a hidden immunity idol, and had decided as a tribe not to look for it. However, Russell had ignored the tribe's wishes, showing Rob that he could not be controlled.
On day 15, there was a double tribal council. Fearing that Russell and his alliance may have found the idol, Rob directed his alliance to split their votes 3-3 between Russell and Parvati, with the plan to vote Russell out on the re-vote. Unfortunately for Rob, Russell manipulated Tyson changed his vote at the last minute, deciding to vote for Parvati instead of Russell. When Russell played his immunity idol for Parvati, Tyson was sent home in a 3-2 vote.
Without Tyson there, Rob began to lose control of his allies, particularly Coach (who had been closely allied to Tyson) and Jerri (who had seen Rob destroy her game 12 seasons earlier in All Stars). Jerri made the decision to switch to Russell's side, and Rob could only muster up a half-hearted approach to keep her on side. Coach did not vote with Russell, but he also refused to vote with Rob, and Rob was sent home in 13th place, for the second time finishing one place shy of sitting on the jury.
At the reunion show Boston Rob got into an argument over who was a better player which sparked the idea of a face-off season between the two legends.
Rob made his return to survivor in season 22: Redemption Island, in which he was pitted against his enemy from Heroes vs Villains, Russell. Rob and Russell were each placed on opposite tribes.
Knowing first hand how powerful a couple could be in the game, Rob targeted Matt Elrod when he noticed a flirtation starting between him and Andrea Boethlke. He used the idol as a way to keep his alliance in check. At the merge, Rob initiated a "buddy system" whereby, no one was allowed to be alone and, therefore, no one could sneak away and talk to the other tribe. One by one, the other tribe was decimated.

Working on making business 'more human'
Polycom's managing director shares his excitement about the video revolution
Vera Alves 20 November, 2012 22:00
Polycom's managing director for Australia and New Zealand, Gary Denman, says this is the time for resellers to invest in video and unified communications solutions. Denman took up the leadership role at Polycom ANZ back in May, following a career with Microsoft that saw him in roles in the UK and, more recently, in Malaysia, where he was enterprise group sales director. The move to Polycom seemed fitting as Denman says many of his conversations with Microsoft customers were about unified communications and the vendor has a tight relationship with Polycom.
Denman describes himself as a "failed accountant" who took on technology support and training roles after "understanding what made [him] tick".
"I love communication and with the pace of change in our industry I have never got bored," he adds. "I appreciate how businesses and lives can be changed, I enjoy telling stories and exploring how that can become a reality."
Denman says he truly believes "video is the new communication platform".
"The opportunity for change through video is incredible, challenging, scary and wanted," he says. Customer adoption of video and unified communications will keep Denman busy for the next few months, as he works with channel partners and customers across both sides of the Tasman to demonstrate "how [video] can change business and the way people interact on a daily basis, giving more and making business more human through face to face".
Denman says the UFB rollout is a big opportunity for resellers in the video and UC space in New Zealand. He says Polycom partners in the country need to think about how they are going to leverage the opportunities that video presents to them. "New Zealand has an image of 100 percent pure. This is an incredible opportunity for a country that provides food and quality products and services," says Denman. "I believe the world is challenging but aligning to Asia will give New Zealand an incredible opportunity to grow and balance," he adds. Video, he says, is the great connector that can strengthen the ties between businesses in New Zealand with Asia and the rest of the world.
Managing a growing business in different timezones means Denman's schedule is far from typical. He usually leaves home at 6:15 am for a 7 o'clock start at the office, fuelled by coffee. He then spends the day "managing interruptions" and leaves at about 6:30 pm to return home where, from 8 pm, he continues with "the backlog of work". Being an older parent, he says, means he has to try to stay fit to enjoy and keep up with the youth of his children. "I cycle and am setting another ride from Perth to Sydney for next November - any riders?"
Where do you live now and where did you grow up and have lived before?
I live in the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Grew up in London, moved to Sydney for nine years and most recently lived for three years in Kuala Lumpur
Are you married? Do you have kids?
I'm married and with two kids, a girl aged 7 and a boy aged 5. As they say in Asia "100 percent complete": Girl and boy in the right order!

Who is your mentor? Or someone you admire professionally?

When you were little, what did you think you would be when you grew up?

Added by Wai Lu Yin on October 17, 2012.
Saved under Korean, Review, Wai Lu Yin
Director: Hong Sang Soo
Casts: Isabelle Huppert, Yu Jun Sang, Jung Yu Mi, Moon So Ri, Kwon Hae Hyo, Yoon Yeo Jung, and Moon Sung Geun
Genre: Drama and Arthouse
A young film student, Won Ju (Jung Yoo Mi) and her mother, Park Sook (Yoon Yeo Jung) hide away from the debtors in Mohang, a seaside town in Buan, North Jeolla. Won Ju decides to write a script that has a plot which takes place at where they're staying. She writes three types of story but a similar idea.
Won Ju's main character is a "charming French visitor" named Anne (Isabelle Huppert) but is portrayed in different storyline. For the first one, she's a filmmaker who visits a fellow Korean director Jong Soo (Kwon Hae Hyo) and his pregnant wife, Geum Hee (Moon So Ri). In the second story, she's the wife of a rich businessman who secretly meets her lover, a Korean filmmaker, Moon Soo (Moon Sung Geun). The last story is that she's a divorced housewife who arrives with Park Soon (Yoon Yeo Jung) after finding out that her husband had a secret affair.
In each story, she meets the young, handsome, and muscular lifeguard (Yoo Jun Sang) at the beach and have interesting conversations including talking about the lighthouse. This film delivers different characters of "Anne" on how she interacts with different people in a different place and situation.
This film let audiences have choices to make. By choices, I mean which story would each of us prefer or do we like them all? After watching this film, we're sure to discuss about which story we like and why. I'm impressed how Hong Sang Soo has fully well executed the storyline into three subplots with different concepts but a similar idea at the same place. He applied the concept of how it reflects the situation in daily lives such as how "Anne" is portrayed in different ways. It is like the director himself writes out the script and it comes to live. In addition to that, this is made artsy and classic element even though this film came out in May 2012.
Isabelle Hupert has done well in portraying three different "Anne" in three different stories. It's not the same personality but we see the differences between the three "Anne". I am glad that she takes the chance to showcase her talents that she is able to collaborate with foreign directors like Hong Sang Soo as she did said at the previous press conference that she wants to work with Korean directors. So, it's not about the language barrier. It is how both sides exchange skills and ideas to make this film impressive.
I admired how this film interprets a French woman conversing with the Korean people. I find that their conversations funny and interesting. Although the Korean people speak to Anne in English with the Korean accent, it's nice to see how well they get along. In addition to that, Anne is being exposed to Korean culture and lifestyle especially at Mohang, a seaside town. I could say this film reflects a few aspects of Korean culture are open to the world. Even though "Anne" is in Korea who doesn't speak the locals' language, but at least they tried to overcome the language barrier with smiles and hand gestures.
Overall, I like this film because
• It allows the audiences to have choices on which story they like.
• I like the fact that each story is portrayed differently while having a similar based idea.
• Impressed on how Isabelle portrayed three different "Anne"
• How characters portrayed in different situation at the same place
• The conversations between a French woman and the local Korean people
• The script itself is well executed perfectly
At the ending, what do you think? Where that umbrella comes from? How the third "Anne" knows that the umbrella was there?

Geometrical Extension of the Balmain Cottage | Wave Avenue
0 Geometrical Extension of the Balmain Cottage
contemporary house
Sydney-based architecture studio Innovarchi designed the Balmain renovation project.
This unusual geometric extension is part of a traditionally designed cottage in Balmain, New South Wales in Australia.
Balmain Cottage by Innovarchi:
In the context of the heritage area in and around Balmain this extension to a small cottage demanded careful consideration of the philosophy behind the new intervention. Analysis of traditional built forms, usage patterns and development codes led to a strategy of providing a contemporary interpretation of the ever-decreasing volumes often evident in ad hoc additions of kitchens, laundries and outside toilets that were often made to these original structures.
Moving away from traditional usage patterns, the public penetration of the private realm has progressed from the compartmentalised formal front rooms to the more relaxed and inclusive realm at the back of the property. The area closest to the entry now becomes the bedroom precinct and the back is a fragmented indoor/outdoor public space bounded by the allotment fencing. Access is via a central corridor that extends through the house right back to the rear gate.
With local design guidelines requiring pitched roof forms the new architecture grew out of the recognizable triangular shapes traditionally associated with hipped roofs. The building also acts as a protective screen creating a privacy hood blocking the views into the garden from the neighbouring house. As the scale and dimension of the addition reduces towards the back gate the external landscape is amplified and spliced into the informal semi-internal spaces.
The folding forms create a canopy that provides shading in summer and allows the northern sun to penetrate into the space for passive heating in winter. The addition breathes new life into old under-used home with 95% of the existing building fabric retained. The roof design increases the rainwater harvesting capacity and the skylights foster a reliance on natural daylighting. The spaces are naturally ventilated and the roof has high performance insulation to minimise heat gain. The landscape concept includes a deck area and large native garden eliminating the need for lawn.

Keys for the #3 Indiana Hoosiers against the #1 Michigan Wolverines
February 2, 2013 By paulmbanks Leave a Comment
Fans, analysts and (surely) the teams themselves have had this one circled all season.
Indiana and Michigan were projected to be the Big Ten's two best teams before the beginning of the 2012-13 college basketball campaign, and each has held true to form — even if in inverse order to this point.
And at 9 p.m. today, the Hoosiers and Wolverines — both with 7-1 Big Ten marks — will go at it for sole possession of first place in the conference in Assembly Hall.
The No. 3 Hoosiers have won 14 of the last 15 home games against the Wolverines, who are No. 1 for the first time since the infamous "Fab Five" squad, but this unquestionably is the most talented roster Michigan has had since Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Ray Jackson and Jimmy King were causing sparks to fly in all directions in Ann Arbor.
How does Indiana win tonight?

Trey Burke leads Michigan in upset over Ohio State
February 19, 2012 By paulmbanks Leave a Comment
Trey Burke and Jared Sullinger were best friends growing up, and they both attended Northland High School in Columbus, Ohio. But on Saturday night, they were playing against each other, and it was all business.
Despite having won midweek at Minnesota, Sullinger and the Buckeyes came into Saturday's night matchup in Ann Arbor needing a win in order to stay within striking distance of conference leading Michigan State, and more importantly, to stay in contention for a NCAA Tournament 1-seed. OSU had won six straight against the Wolverines, including a 15-point drubbing at Value City Arena on January 29.

ESPN's College Gameday Travels to Ann Arbor for Michigan-Ohio State game Saturday
Roughly five months ago, ESPN's College Gameday graced the Michigan campus with its presence and played host to one of the most exciting games ever witnessed at the Big House. It was the first night game in the stadium's history, and Notre Dame was the selected opponent for first-year head coach Brady Hoke's first big test.
The Maize and Blue lived up to the hype, topping the Golden Domers, 35-31, thanks to a last-minute touchdown pass by star quarterback Denard Robinson.

Michigan State versus Illinois Preview, Predictions

There always seems to be an added excitement around campus when College Gameday comes to town. Even those that do not follow sports very closely know that there must be a big game. Tonight's clash pitting Michigan State against Illinois is no exception.
All of a sudden, it appears as though a Big Ten title being delivered to East Lansing is no longer a foregone conclusion. An 18-point loss at Wisconsin was bad enough, but to make matters worse Spartan team leader and point guard Kalin Lucas went down in the second half with a sprained ankle.

Connections, Nepotism Brings ESPN College GameDay to Champaign Saturday
Once again the old adage "it's not what you know, but who you know" rings true.
This time it's applied to ESPN's location selection process for broadcasting their national college basketball pregame show. From 2003-07 Illinois had MORE WINS than any program in the nation. But ESPN College Gameday never visited once (not even during the Champaign Campaign season of 2004-05, when the Illini tied the all-time record for single season victories). But tomorrow "ESPN College GameDay Driven by State Farm" will broadcast live from the University of Illinois prior to the prime-time basketball matchup between the Fighting Illini and Michigan State. UI is one of just eight universities chosen by ESPN, out of 343 Division 1 basketball programs, for a live GameDay broadcast this season.
So it's finally happened for the Illini! Unfortunately, it's in a year that's actually been very disappointing for the orange and blue. The Illini find themselves on the wrong side of the NCAA bubble and not even remotely close to a national ranking. So why this year? Because the school has the right connections.

Northwestern-Notre Dame Private School Battle for Chicago's Heart
Welcome to the Chicago Invitational Challenge Live blog day one. It's both an invitational and a challenge. Not just an invitational, nor merely a challenge, or tournament. But a challenge and an invitational. The fun started at noon today with the mid-majors going at it, but the action ramps up with Iowa St. vs. Saint Louis. Where it's currently 30-27 ISU.
This is actually a pretty good undercard bout as the Cyclones boast two players who have a very high chance of going in the first round of the NBA Draft: forwards Craig Brackins and Marquis Gilstrap. And SLU has former ESPN analyst and coaching legend Rick Majerus at the helm. He's spent most of the first half here at the UIC pavilion pacing back and forth in front of me. And at approximately 7:30 we'll move on to the main event, the title fight, Notre Dame-Northwestern, the battle between two of Chicago's most beloved private schools. Never mind the fact that ND is a longer drive from the Second City than Champaign, and in another state and time zone from Chicago, this will truly be a match-up between two Chicago teams. Here at the "Chicago Invitational Challenge"
In the words of the Black Eyed Peas, "Let's get it started in here! Let's get it started in HAAAHHHHH!"
ISU-SLU 41-31 14 min left.
Attendance here is…a bit sparse. As are pretty much all holiday tournaments. Mostly because everyone plays on an out of town neutral court, so it's harder to get people to travel. But that's truly a shame, as some of the basketball that's played at these things is about as good as you'll find all season. It's still early, I'm guessing more people will come for the battle between "the two schools full of private snobs, and elitists," or whatever people say to deride these two schools with a very high tuition. After my experience at the Bears game earlier this month, and at every Cubs game I've ever attended, I think elitist and snob is a complement. Pro sports, or at least the people who ended up sitting next to me at Cubs and Bears games, could learn a thing or two from the "snobs" and "elitists". Maybe that's why I like college sports so much better than the pros, less people on parole (or will be someday) in the stands next to you.
Or simply Bears fans are utterly disgusting sometimes…then again you heard what a Notre Dame fan did to Jimmy Clausen. And from what I hear, Clausen provoked him. Gives a new meaning to the term "Fighting Irish."
If I knew how to photoshop, I would put Clausen's head on the leprecaun, with two black eyes, and have him lying on his back.
alright enough with the distractions, Iowa St. has opened a bigger lead on the Billikens now, and they're threatening to turn this into a route. Both teams are undefeated and unranked currently, but the 'Clones are the only team that looks like they should be ranked right now. Reigning Big 12 player of the week Craig Brackins leads the way with 15 pts so far, ISU 56-SLU 43, 4 min to go.
Iowa St. Head Coach Greg McDermott sums up the last game perfectly, "we found a way to win an ugly game, we finally got our offense in rhythm during the 2nd half." Exactly ISU wins the 65-54. After falling behind in the 2nd half, the Cyclones stopped the Billikens on 9/10 offensive series.
Craig Brackins was a fun interview subject, one of the reporters asked him about his Tweets today. I hyperlinked his Twitter if you want to follow him, but he has to approve each and every one of his followers. If I were him, or in his situation, I would do the same. A lot of weirdoes out there, especially on online.
I have to admit I like the ND band. They play more original music, like Jimmy Buffett "Fins" and Styx "Come Sail Away".
ND owns the series over NU 63-23-1. and this is their first meeting since 1984, which the Irish won by about 20.
I hope this game moves at a much higher tempo than the last one. So far, not so much. ND leads 5-4 with 16:10 left in 1st half. So far they seem to be owning the paint on both ends. Stats would not exactly confirm that, but they're using the superior size and more athletic bigs to intimidate the Cats from getting down low. I think that's why Bill Carmody started Kyle Rowley tonight. He's the biggest guy on the roster, even though he's…well he's far from leading the team in minutes per game for a good reason.
Northwestern takes their first lead on a Juice Thompson field goal, 9-8 with 13 min left in half. Now that Minnesota has knocked off Butler, NU's lone loss this season looks a bit worse than it did before Wednesday. That said, they can redeem themselves here by giving #23 Notre Dame their first loss of the season. Good defense in this game so far, and bad shooting at both ends.
TSB readers know what I think of Tyler Hansbrough, well tonight I get to watch his little brother Ben, a two guard for the Irish. A good excuse to put my all time favorite Tyler H. pic. even though I loved Beeker from the muppets, so I hate doing that to Beeker.
Shooting getting uglier, but Northwestern takes a 16-10 advantage with just udner 8 min left in half. 6 pts in a game like this is…15 I guess. And what I mean by that is if you lose a game 90-82. that's a much closer game and a lot better effort than say a 58-50 game. Seriously, the margin is the same, but it makes a difference trust me. We need a scale for this. we need a stat to measure this.
When NU forward/center Luka Mirkovic took and missed a turnaround baseline jumper, I heard someone on the NU coaching staff say "what the hell"? classic.
Even better than Rick Majerus tell one of his players "you gotta watch the f–king press" right in front of me last game.
At another timeout I hear that the new coach at Notre Dame, football I mean this time, will be Bob Stoops. seriously. And of course, every time you mention Charlie Weiss, a fat joke must follow. But I'm a professional, so I'll let people in the comment threads handle that…if they so desire.
25 all with a min left in half. low-scoring like soccer here tonight.
John Shurna hits a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnng three as time expires to give NU a 30-27 advantage heading to the break. Shurna is starting to maybe come into his own this year. His time spent playing with the under 19 national team is paying off. He's made a big leap from his freshman year.
When Shurna was at the podium last year, his soft-spoken, quiet nervousness reminded me of Paulie Bleeker (the guy played by Michael Cera) in the indie smash "Juno". They kind of look alike too. I think at least.
So when the All-American team decided to have a "white-out," naming 3/5 Caucasian players to the first team, for no inexplicable reason, Luke Harangody received more votes than any other player in the nation. The nation? are you serious? the nation's best player? as Duke Vitale, whoops I meant to say Dick Vitale would say ARE YOUUU SERRIOUSSSSSSSS??!!!!
I just don't see it. I know this hasn't exactly been Harangody's best half ever, as he's 3-9 shooting for 7 pts so far. Shurna leads the game with 14 pts on 5-10 from the floor. Still I don't see what all the Harangody hullabalooza is all about.
On the strength of two Juice Thompson 3 pt FGs, NU leads 41-38 with 15:27 to go. You knew the Juice would start hitting those sometime, and that time is now.
I still love the ND band, their 80s music choices are killer. Just heard the "A Team" theme after some "867-5309 Jenny"
46-38 Northwestern now with 13:55 left. A big Jeremy Nash 3 pointer right after a Juice Thompson drive to the hole. The Juice is indeed loose.
If you believe in "halftime adjustments" and I sure do, then Carmody really has made some great adjsutments in the locker room. Cats lead 50-38 with 11:42 left. Upset alert?
Yes, very much upset alert. The Irish can't seem to find a way to consistently solve NU's smothering defense.
Hi drama here as NU's lead gets all the more slimmer. 57-51 just over 5 minutes to play.
Usually a coach should be happy when one of his players makes a 3. But on Alex Marcotullio's last 3 bomb, which he made. Carmody looked about as dejected and frustrated as a coach can look.
61-56 Cats 1 min to go. The upset is a brewing, remember in 1995 when no one gave NU a chance to beat ND in football, and they won 17-15 sending shockwaves throughout the sports nerd world? Some dude here has a shirt with that score on it today, and they showed him on the jumbotron!

Jim Phillips, CEO of Northwestern's Athletic Program Part 1
In 2008-09, Chicagoans became well aware of how Chicago Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz, along with team Vice President John McDonough re-branded the Blackhawks from red-headed stepchild to main event on the Second City's sports stage. Forbes named them the biggest turnaround in sports business history. When you're a university Athletic Director, you have responsibilities which often come quite close to matching those of a professional franchise owner. Northwestern's A.D. Jim Phillips is looking to be the next executive to accomplish such a feat.
"John McDonough is a close friend, I spend a lot of time with him, as well as executives from some of the other pro teams because they know the market," Phillips said when I visited his office for an extensive interview earlier this year. Phillips went to Wrigley Field for the 2009 NHL Winter Classic, as well as several other Hawks homes games, taking in the buzz surrounding the team. "I wanted to see what they were doing to revitalize the program, and John is the architect of all that."
Phillips articulated what fundamental principles he noticed working effectively, and how he's implementing them at Northwestern University.
"One is the fan experience; people want to be entertained, as this economy has affected everybody. I can't control the product on the field, the wins and losses, but I can hopefully control something with the experience. Getting good tickets and finding a place to park can't be a hassle. We can't have a hassle at the concession stands. There has to be lots of family friendly things to do before the game, as part of a broader vision of fan experience.
"Second is target-marketing. Surely, it's a target audience that will make a difference for us, studies have shown. Pricing is also a critical component, we held the line, and in several instances we even decreased even though other teams in the Big Ten increased their prices. Also, certainly the internet has really taken the head over the direct mail. But there's still a huge area for that contact. When somebody from our office calls you to thank you for being a season ticket holder and asks you, was it a great experience? Did you enjoy yourself? Was it affordable, something you want to again?"
Like Rocky Wirtz, Phillips is a man of the people: greeting everybody in his path, getting involved in the community, talking in-depth with fans and media alike. He gets to know the journalists covering his team, as Phillips knows increasing awareness for his program is an essential component of his innovative marketing style.
"You certainly got to allow people to have access to your team, that's what we've done with Stretch with the Cats before the spring game, autograph sessions, etc. to break down the barriers that may be real or imaginary within teams or organizations. Hopefully, we can build on the successes of the program and further that. Certainly, the last 15 years we're third in conference in Big Ten championships behind only the Big 2, but we haven't had a litany of success over say the past 50 years, especially in the '70s there were some rough times," Phillips articulated.
Despite the program posting a very respectable 6 bowl appearances in the past 14 seasons, they may still be haunted by the ghosts of the '70s and '80s. The Wildcats failed to record a winning season from 1972-1994, including an especially putrid period in 1976-1981, when the Wildcats went 3-62-1. But encountering and conquering challenges is nothing new to Phillips. When he served as Northern Illinois University Athletic Director, he and former Iowa AD Bob Bowlsby arranged a football game between NIU and Iowa at Soldier Field. The September 1st, 2007 match-up was a sell-out; setting a Mid-American Conference attendance record for a home football game at 61,500.
"When I signed the lease agreement at Soldier Field, my hand literally shook because of what they wanted to rent the facility and I thought: how many tickets do I have to sell in order for this thing to break even? And we did a lot more than break even, but that's just part of being aggressive through marketing and promotions."

What's Your Favorite League Overall?
October 20, 2009 By paulmbanks 3 Comments
By the TSB Staff
October brings the busiest time of the year for sports, and the multitude of choices might cause overload for the fan. It's a plethora of choices on parallel with the amount of art displayed in the churches and museums of Florence, Italy. When I visited the "flowering city on the Arno River," I was amazed by how much marble and canvas had been aesthetically crafted across the city, the multitude of options made it hard to choose what I wanted to see it first and fit it all in the time I was allotted. That's what it currently feels like as a sports fan in autumn, especially so on the weekends. So how do you prioritize which game you want to watch? I unleashed my editorial staff to make their case for each one. –PMB
H. JOSE BOSCH:
College football is, without a doubt, the best sport in America because college football appeals to that small part of all of us that never wants to truly grow up. College football takes us back to the times when the beer was cheaper, the breasts were perkier and the days never ended; they all just blended together in one hedonistic mess.
College football has bands and student sections and cheerleaders and almost all of them are under the age of 25, which makes for a lot more fun for everyone else who is over 25. They look better, cheer better and have a lot more fun. At the best stadiums they create a toxic environment that is America's closest answer to the mass hysteria you see in South American soccer stadiums. While bags of urine aren't thrown on the field, bottles of urine certainly roll their way down stadium steps from time to time. And that is almost as awesome.
College football reminds us of our own football glory days. Those times in college when we tried to convince our friends that we totally could score a touchdown from five yards out if we were given four downs. Why? Because college football still seems so accessible to the former athlete. We went to class with these guys, ate at the same student union and went to the same parties. So many of them seemed so normal that you almost felt you could be a part of that group.
Who watches an NFL game and thinks they can compete at that level? But, for some reason, even though almost all Division I football players could easily kick our ass, we somehow believe we could hang with them if only some coach from the past had believed in us.
College football also has true upsets and underdogs. It still absolutely sucks for the favorite when they lose a game for two main reasons: without a playoff a loss can mean your national championships hopes could vanish and they don't have the solace of a big paycheck to come home to. Oh, not to mention they have to walk around campus for a week while everyone else around the critiques why they sucked so much.
If those kinds of raised stakes aren't enough to pump you up than you seriously have no soul.
College football is the best sport in the country. Period.
PAUL SCHMIDT:
There's lots of reasons to love college basketball. There's the obvious arguments, like the college game is pure, without the obvious faults of the pro game. They always play defense in college basketball, and the wide variety of talent bases and schemes always make for intriguing game play.
There's two things in my mind that always set college basketball apart from every other sport. First would be the student bodies and fan bases. Quite simply, college basketball fans are the most rabid and informed of all fans. The arenas are, in general, conducive to making things as loud as possible (I say in general because if you've ever been to Allstate Arena, where DePaul plays, well…). Every fan base has its own crazed section: You've got the Cameron Crazies, the Izzone, The Paint Crew, The Orange Krush…just to name a small few. Some stadiums you just don't sit down. At Florida, in one half of the stadium you wear blue, the other half orange. In short, the crowds, the stadiums, the atmosphere and yes, the cheerleaders, all make college basketball what it is in person and at home on TV.
The second…quite obviously…is the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. There is nothing quite like it in any other sport. The NCAA has even tried to re-create the same atmosphere with its other sports by holding selection show specials, and amping up the one-and-done atmosphere (most notably with the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament and the NCAA Baseball and Softball College World Series'), and have only gotten into the same zip code with atmosphere and dedication of its fans once (surprisingly, the NCAA men's hockey tournament).
Is there any greater day than Selection Sunday, with the culmination of all of the major conference tournaments, and then finding out if and where your team is going in the Big Dance? Is there any event that really lets you feel like the little guy has a chance to win? The NCAA Tournament is just the perfect combination of sport, marketing and opportunity. Maybe it was all by accident — but it certainly was a happy accident.
Let's say in the next NCAA Tournament, that a 16 seed beats a 1 seed for the very first time. That, right there has not only become the biggest sports story of the year, but one of the biggest news stories as well. The David-vs.-Goliath story, the anything-can-happen story. The perseverance wins over all story, saying that if you work hard, and put your mind to it, that you can overcome any obstacles and achieve anything.
How many other sports do you know that can accomplish that in just one game?
PETER CHRISTIAN
My favorite league? Come on. There's no doubt it's the NHL. Sure it's run by some second rate moron who wouldn't get in to Death Valley Community College if he applied today, and the league's ratings suffer because the TV contracts they have are about as lucrative as an eyeball on your kneecap. However, from a pure entertainment standpoint it is the clear winner in my mind. I love all sports but hockey is the sport that clicked first for me. I'm happy watching any part of any game of hockey at any level, so it's only natural that the league that showcases the world's best talent is my favorite. But that's not the only reason.
The NHL has a little bit of everything. Flashy players? Check. Gritty, hard hitting action? Check. Jump out of your seat, Holy-Shit-did-that-just-happen moments? You bet.
Hockey combines athleticism, hustle and hard work with a specific skill set that really defines the personality of its players. Hockey players on principle are guys that are extremely loyal and aren't afraid to take or throw a punch to prove a point all while showcasing their very specific talent of being able to skate on a pair of blades that are less than a quarter inch wide while using a curved stick to handle a rubber disc on ice. Think about that for a minute. I don't mean to take anything away from athletes of other sports, but when you really think about all that hockey players DO before they even add in the components of the game (checking, poke checks, goalies, offsides and penalties) it is quite the amazing feat.
Currently the NHL is at a tough spot because they have too many teams (from a financial standpoint) but are exactly where they need to be from a talent level. So if you focus on what's on the ice only, you'll be happily entertained, you'll constantly be on the edge of your seat and you'll get to see a good mix of scoring, hitting, fighting, strategy and world class skating.
That's why I love the NHL.

You know that time of year when the weather changes and people start to complain about aching joints and muscle pain. Well, considering that time of year is now, at least in the Midwest, some of you probably don't need to be reminded.
Anyway, when that time of year rolls around for me, I don't get muscle or joint aches, I simply get the shakes. And it's entirely because I am so pumped for the NBA season. I mean, once October rolls around and NBA preseason action starts, I am salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs at the thought of the start to the regular season. So, as I sit here and write this, a mere 9 days away from tip-off to the Cavs-Celtics game, I am doing so drenched in sweat while fighting with my hands so they stop shaking long enough to allow me to type.
Now, one may ask where I get this borderline psychotic love for a professional association that so many can't stand. I simply respond, on TNT.
I mean, where else can you get quality play-by-play announcers and the best studio show for each and every telecast? You got guys like Barkley, Marv Albert, Kenny the Jet, the Czar and Craig Sager. If you didn't know any better and just looked at a picture of those guys, you would think they are the stars of some VH1 celebreality show. Only they aren't fighting for anyone's eternal love, they are just fighting to get enough love for one night. And in Albert's case, doing so while avoiding harassment charges.
In all seriousness though, you have some of the most athletic human specimens in the world playing a sport that showcases their skill better than any other. When you see how high some of these guys can jump, how quick they can handle the rock and how well they act like they give a shit each and every game- it makes for high quality drama.
And when the playoffs come around, I mean, I seriously go into a 50 day love affair with my TV. I seriously don't have a social life and any thing I do have revolves around watching the games that night. I'm beyond obsessed. So much so, that I probably need to see a therapist.
In fact, I just bought the NBA league pass for my computer, so I will have every NBA game at the very same fingertips I am writing this piece with. The thought of that is scary enough. But hell, it's almost Halloween and I'm in that kind of mood. This is the first time I have ever done this and I am having a hard time typing right now because my hands are shaking with sheer excitement. This season on The Sports Bank I plan on doing a weekly write-up where I will discuss the best games I saw during the week, the funniest thing I saw during the week, developments, surprises, trends, etc. I will also have a counter where I put up the games I watched and the total number I have.

It's unfortunate and often unexpected, but we know that firefighters and EMS providers are all too often the targets of violence. Sometimes these attacks are deliberate and premeditated. Perhaps more often we find ourselves in the wrong place, at the wrong time, with people who, for a variety of reasons, assault those charged with helping them.
From the start of my fire-EMS career, I was taught to avoid confrontation and violent encounters. Interestingly enough, that's the exact same training I received in several martial arts I've practiced through the years.
Like many of you, however, it didn't take long before I found myself in harm's way. Not very often, fortunately, but I had enough close calls that I became very proactive about staging and calling early for law enforcement support. Still, as in this story, sometimes we just can't avoid a fracas.
While providing defensive tactics training for fire and emergency services workers makes a lot of sense, it's also vital to constantly remember that the best way to avoid getting injured, or worse, is to avoid the fight. Physical measures are always a last resort; they can't replace the skills of verbal de-escalation or, failing that, escape and evasion.
It's also important to understand the legal implications of using physical force, even in a seemingly minor way, and regardless of whether or not you believe you're acting in self-defense.

Totally Terrific Tomatoes
August 27, 2013 § 2 Comments
We're looking at a very strange tomato. Reassuringly, it is red, but after that it departs from the modern standards of tomatokind. It is rumpled and bloated, erupting disconcertingly into small, globular lobes. It reminds me of a virus enlarged under an electron microscope. Organic gardener, Nicky Kyle, says "It's the most difficult tomato you could ever grow: it splits as soon as you look at it, it only produces one flush of fruit, and the plant looks as if it's been sprayed with weedkiller, because it's all twigs and no leaves!"
So why on earth is she growing it, and why am I carefully saving the seed from the unlovely individuals she gave me to bring home? Because, as she points out, when you taste it, "you forgive it everything". It is sweet, full and ketchuppy — and early too. Those nearly leafless stems allow the sun to ripen the fruit much faster than other tomato varieties.
Tomato 'Latah' © Jane Powers
The tomato in question, 'Latah', is just one of over 100 cultivars that will be on show at the 2nd annual Totally Terrific Tomato Festival next Sunday at Rolestown Garden Centre, outside Swords. Nicky Kyle, an avid tomato grower for the last three-and-a-half decades, conceived the idea of the event, while Michael Connolly and his son, John, supply the venue. The festival, which attracted hundreds of visitors last year, is a celebration of all things tomato. There will be competitions for best quality, heaviest and ugliest tomatoes, best tomato-based recipe, best tomato grown by an under-12, and best vegetable basket. There will also be tomato-based foods, a farmers' market, and other wholesome delights. Matthew Jebb, director of the National Botanic Gardens, will be talking tomatoes, as will Tanguy de Toulgoët of Dunmore Country School in Durrow, Co Laois.
Tomato 'Persimmon', grown by MIchael Connolly

Home-grown tomatoes, as well as being good to eat and not too difficult to grow, give an almost cartoon-like demonstration of genetic diversity. There are hundreds of varieties available to the home gardener, from the little red 'Gardener's Delight' and orange 'Sungold' to the great beefy beefsteaks 'Black from Tula' and 'White Queen'. There are tomatoes that look like other fruits: 'Orange Banana', 'Yellow Pear', 'Persimmon', 'Orange Strawberry', and 'Yellow Currant' and tomatoes that appear to be made of glossy mahogany ('Cherokee Chocolate') and polished, black ebony ('Indigo Rose'). Tomatoes, in short, are some of the most intriguing and appealing fruits known to man. The fact, that they are fruits, but are often thought of as vegetables only adds to their fascination.
The most immediate reason to grow them, though, is flavour. Supermarket tomatoes are getting better all the time, but they still cannot compete with the sun-warmed explosion of squelchy deliciousness that is the just-picked tomato.
Tomato 'Black Sea Man', grown by Michael Connolly
When I visit Rolestown Garden Centre to look at Michael's twenty varieties of tom, coming along nicely in their pots, Nicky Kyle has brought a huge basket of her own, grown in her north county Dublin polytunnels, for us to try. We work our way through about a dozen kinds, but the more subtly-flavoured varieties are drowned out by the big guns such as 'Black Sea Man' — which is deep and resonant, like a good Chateauneuf de Pape. We have only water to cleanse our palates, and we should have had bread or cream crackers. Or, as Michael suggests: "You could do it like cheese, and have the mild ones first."
Nonetheless, we have a whale of a time. The different colours, textures, smells and — of course — tastes are a treat to so many of the senses. These are tomatoes that you will never find for sale, except occasionally at gourmet shops and farmers' markets. Factors such as their odd shapes, irregular sizes, soft skins and uncertain yields make them impractical for commercial growers and supply chains.
"Genetic diversity is being dangerously eroded all the time by industrial food production," says Nicky. "It's important to preserve old varieties and good new ones too, in case those genes are needed in future breeding programmes for some unknown pest or disease which may hit us with climate change or other threat."
Heirloom tomatoes, grown by Nicky Kyle
Tomatoes also have human stories attached. The heavy beefsteak 'Mortgage Lifter', for example, was bred by M.C. Byles in West Virginia in the 1930s. The proceeds from his sales of tomato plants paid off his $6,000 mortgage. 'Amish Paste', which makes ambrosial sauces, is an heirloom variety from Lancaster County in Pennsylvania. Europe has its share of heritage toms too: with eastern countries being particularly fertile. 'Black Krim', 'Black from Tula' and (surprisingly), 'Paul Robeson' are all from Russia.
As Nicky Kyle says, growing your own tomatoes is "in some way preserving our social history too. In the past so many people took the trouble to save these old varieties and pass them down to us. I feel we owe it to them to keep them going."

Other People's Gardens
September 27, 2010 § 6 Comments
In my last (and first) post here, I mentioned that I gardened, not for other people, but for myself and the various creatures that live outside the front and back doors. In just a few hundred words I managed to sound holier-than-thou in a lonesome communing-with-nature way, while also giving the impression that I am dismissive of those who garden for other people. What a great start to a blog.
The truth is that I am constantly and hugely grateful to gardeners who welcome other people onto their plots. They are benign and brave souls. It takes courage to open your garden to scrutiny — and to the inevitable criticism that pours merrily out of visitors' mouths. Or is that just Irish visitors? Are garden visitors in other countries less bent on picking holes, and more interested in immersing themselves in the experience, and in trying to understand what the gardener is doing? (Having said that, there are a few owners who open their properties with the sole intention of securing tax relief, which is a little mean-spirited. But more on that another time.)
In the main, people who open their gardens are generous humans, giving freely of information, and often of plants or cuttings. Some of my favourite plants were gifts from other gardeners, or were purchases at their sales tables. These are often varieties that are not seen at garden centres, because they might be difficult to transport, or tricky to propagate on a commercial scale, or they may be ugly ducklings while in the pot (turning into beauteous swans only when they get into the ground). Or — best of all — they might be strains that are local to that particular garden or locale, carrying a unique and historic set of genes in their green fabric.
The Bay Garden, Camolin, Co Wexford: a lovely place to visit
For me, life would be flat without other people's gardens. They are a place to meet other gardeners, to talk about plants and growing, to unwind, to be amazed, and to learn something new. I'm perennially curious, as are most gardeners. You can ask ten gardeners how they propagate penstemons, or whether they put dandelion roots in their compost, and you'll get ten, opinionated answers. I find this exhilarating — which probably seems a bit sad to non-gardeners.
Ornamental potager at Ballymaloe Cookery School
At the end of August I visited Ballymaloe Cookery School gardens in east Cork, and Tanguy de Toulgoët's Dunmore Country School garden in Durrow, Co Laois on the same day. Both gardens are doing the same thing: growing good food, using organic systems. But the methods are quite different. At Ballymaloe, for instance, seedlings are started in modules, under artificial lights; and in Tanguy's Laois garden, seeds are germinated in seed beds in the polytunnel. At Ballymaloe there is an acre of greenhouses (lucky them!), and in Laois, an acre is the size of the entire garden. The greatest difference I noticed, however, was the climate. The two places are only 130km (80 miles) apart as the crow flies, yet it was like stepping from early autumn in Ballymaloe to mid-summer in Durrow. The first has a coastal temperate climate, whereas the second is much more continental.
Good things to eat in Tanguy de Toulgoët's garden
Our small island of Ireland has hundreds of gardens that are open to the public — where an overwhelming amount of growing goes on. When I'm not being lonely and mawkish in my own garden, I'm usually snooping around someone else's.

Non-revenue water losses have plagued utilities for years, yet efforts to stem the flow are hampered when funding comes into play. But with the price of water rising and the cost of technology falling, things are at a turning point.
The Bureau of Meteorology reports non-revenue water loss in Australia in the past five years at 878,027ML, averaging approximately 10% of utilities' system input.
Causes of water loss include real or physical losses, such as leaks in a system's network, and apparent losses, such as metering inaccuracies and unauthorised consumption.
Pure Technologies' Regional Director Hugh Chapman said that compared to other parts of the world, non-revenue water in Australia is a small problem.
"The International Water Association puts the worldwide cost of leakage at US$10 billion per year. But by international standards, Australia performs at the better end of the scale," Chapman said.
"For example, it's not uncommon for utilities in south-east Asia to lose half of their water due to leakage."
Despite Australian utilities' performance, non-revenue water still requires consistent monitoring. Changes in non-revenue water are an indication of network health and data management efficacy - issues that can have a significant impact on a utility's bottom line.
As such, chasing non-revenue water is driven by return on investment. The Economic Level of Leakage (ELL) implies that if water-loss reduction activities cost more than the water is worth, reducing non-revenue water will fall in priority.
While the ELL makes sound economic sense, GHD Principal Engineer Richard Savage said there's a new attitude emerging industry-wide with an eye on optimising operations, tighter investment strategies and better longer-term planning.
To date, economic equity has taken priority from a business perspective, but Savage said resource and social considerations are likely to require more attention in the future as pressure on water resources intensifies.
"For utilities that say their levels of non-revenue water are too low to justify long-term investment, my answer is this: that might be the case now, but in 10 years' time it'll be a different story," he said.
"We have an obligation to the communities we serve to use our resources sustainably at all times."
Advances in technology are beginning to tip the balance and challenge previously accepted norms.
"New technologies are available, they are cheaper than ever before and, at the same time, the price of water is rising," said WaterGroup Managing Director Guenter Hauber-Davidson.
"When you put these three factors together it becomes clear that the ELL can no longer be 10% - it should be more like 5% or less."
Advances in water-loss management tools, including digital leak-detection technology, advanced network monitoring software and smart metering, now offer opportunities for tackling non-revenue water.
Regarding the curtailment of real losses, Hauber-Davidson said ultrasonic flow metering with advanced leak detection technology is leading the way in offering cost-effective results.
However, utilities need to walk before they run, said MWH Global Water Planning Principal Hayden Knight.
"Measuring the inflow into the network is the priority; you can't determine anything until you know the mass you're dealing with," he said.
"There is considerable error in mass balances due to the use of average customer demands, meter inaccuracies and meter reading lag. Use of automatic meter reading [AMR] technology in the future will substantially reduce that number."
NRW reduction in Australia falters not because of something that's there, but rather what's missing: without reliable network data, it's hard to justify investment in technology.
Further to this, return on investment isn't adding up just yet, with pre-emptive leak detection, real-time system reporting and tailored customer billing still a pipe dream for many utilities.
"The bigger-picture issue here is that to solve a problem you need to invest money into it," Savage said.
"And this isn't a one-off or a program-type investment; this investment would need to be sustained indefinitely."
Although everyone agrees on the investment conundrum, Knight said that if utilities stall, then it's only a matter of time before the market decides for them.
"You've got to have bold leadership within an organisation to make the move," Knight says.
"The availability and cost of water, balanced in conjunction with the lowering cost of technology, will eventually tip the balance."

B.C. woman ordered to pay $200,000 for defaming ex-boyfriend on Instagram
The posts lasted over several months as the pair dated on and off
A B.C. woman has been ordered to pay $200,000 after she defamed her ex-boyfriend on social media following the pair's breakup.
According to a B.C. Supreme Court ruling made public this week, Noelle Halcrow made a series of posts on Instagram and other websites about her ex-boyfriend, Brandon Rook, between August 2016 and August 2017.
Rook ended the one-month relationship in August 2015, then got back together less than a year later for six months, only for Rook to again end things in July 2016.
After the splits, Halcrow would post false claims about her ex's career, personality and sexual health, creating more than 75 posts across the various platforms, with a dozen receiving more than 1,500 views each, according to evidence submitted by Rook's lawyer.
Halcrow, who did not give any evidence, argued her friends and others had made the posts, not her.
But a tech expert was able to trace several posts back to an IP address linked to the WiFi network in Halcrow's home. She also texted Rook a number of times about taking down the posts and threatening to put them up again or create further posts.

Rook told the court that the posts caused him to feel anxiety, especially those that referred to his ex-wife and daughter.
Justice Elliott Myers called Halcrow's campaign "as relentless as it was extensive," and motivated by malice.
"The evidence is clear and compelling that Ms. Halcrow did, in fact, put the posts on the websites," he wrote.
He ordered her to pay $175,000 in general damages, $25,000 in aggravated damages, and to cover Rook's legal fees and the cost of his $30,000 reputation consultants who were hired to take the posts down.
Halcrow is under a court injunction banning her from republishing any of the posts.

James Foley, who most recently directed the last two Fifty Shades movies, is set to take the helm of a different kind of film about captivity. Collider reports Foley will direct Alcatraz, based on the true story of the most famous escape in the prison's long history.
Alcatraz is based on the 1962 prison break led by bank robber Frank Morris. He and two others fooled guards by placing wax figures in their cells, fled through a utility door and escaped on a makeshift raft. They were never captured, and the FBI concluded they drowned somewhere in the San Francisco Bay. That may be true, but since they were never found nobody really knows, and a whole mythology has been built around what actually happened to them. Hollywood has played a hand in building up these legends. The 1979 film Escape from Alcatraz starred Clint Eastwood as Morris.
Foley's film will be penned by Ian Mackenzie Jeffers, who co-wrote The Grey. Solid credentials all over this one. Foley helped keep the Fifty Shades franchise from going completely off the rails, reminding us that he's still the guy who gave us the great Glengarry Glen Ross adaptation. And this is a story that begs for the big screen treatment and a fun cast.

Next-generation wireless networks, utilizing a wide swath of wireless spectrum and an array of novel technologies in the wired and wireless domains, are on the cusp of unleashing a broadband revolution with promised peak bit rates of tens of gigabits per second and latencies of less than a millisecond. Such innovations will make possible a new set of applications such as autonomous vehicles, industrial robotics, tactile Internet applications, virtual and augmented reality, and dense Internet of Things (IoT) deployments. A key requirement of these applications is fast information response time that is invariant as a function of the bandwidth demanded, users/devices supported, and data generated, of which low-latency wireless access time is only one component. Intrinsic security, seamless mobility, scalable content caching, and discovery/distribution services are also essential for such applications.
This solicitation seeks unique data network architectures featuring an information plane using an Information-Centric Networking (ICN) approach and addressing discovery, movement, delivery, management, and protection of information within a network, along with the abstraction of an underlying communication plane creating opportunities for new efficiencies and optimizations across communications technologies that could also address latency and scale requirements.
