Apple 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro hands-on!

Apple 13inch Retina MacBook Pro handson!

Apple just introduced its second Retina display MacBook: the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which starts at $1,699 and is shipping today. Just months after the 15-incher was gifted with a display that packs more pixels than your existing HDTV, the 13-inch sibling is receiving similar treatment. Unveiled today in San Jose alongside the iPad mini, the intensely dense 13-inch MBP is true to the rumors -- there's a 2,560 x 1,600 panel, a pair of Thunderbolt ports, a full-size HDMI socket and a MagSafe 2 power connector. Unfortunately, those yearning for a Retina-equipped MacBook Air won't find their dreams fulfilled just yet, but you can bet that holdouts will most certainly give this guy a look.

For starters, it's wildly thin. No, not manilla envelope thin, but thin enough to slip into most briefcases and backpacks without the consumer even noticing. Outside of that, it's mostly a shrunken version of the 15-incher let loose over the summer. The unibody design is as tight as ever, with the fit and finish continuing to impress. In my estimation, this is Apple's most deliberate move yet to differentiate the 13-inch MacBook Pro from the 13-inch MacBook Air. On one hand, power users longing for a highly portable laptop can rejoice; on the other, this could be seen as reason for Apple to restrict the use of Retina displays to its Pro range for the foreseeable future.

Compared to the 1,280 x 800 resolution of the non-Retina 13-inch MBP, the new display is particularly stunning. Text has never looked more crisp, and colors are stupendously vibrant. Of course, apps, websites and graphics that haven't been optimized for Retina still look like utter rubbish, and as more Apple machines transition to these panels, the outcry is going to get even louder. But, hopefully, it'll light a fire under developers to get with the program.

'Password' Tops List of Worst Passwords of 2012 [VIDEO]

Sometimes it's good to be like everyone else -- but when it comes to choosing a password, we should all strive to be as unique as possible.

[More from Mashable: How Windows 8 Changes the Game for PC Security]

More people choose "password" than any other word or phrase to secure their accounts, according to a recent study. In case you haven't taken the hint, that makes password the absolute worst string of characters you can chose to protect your online identity.

SplashData has just released its annual list of the worst passwords, which features the most common phrases used on the Internet and posted by hackers.

[More from Mashable: 10 Spooky Cyberattacks in 2012 [INFOGRAPHIC]]

The three worst passwords haven't changed since 2011; they're password, 123456 and 12345678. The new worst passwords added to this year's list include welcome, jesus, ninja, mustang and password1.

"At this time of year, people enjoy focusing on scary costumes, movies and decorations, but those who have been through it can tell you how terrifying it is to have your identity stolen because of a hacked password," says Morgan Slain, SplashData CEO. "We're hoping that with more publicity about how risky it is to use weak passwords, more people will start taking simple steps to protect themselves by using stronger passwords and using different passwords for different websites."

Here's the complete list:

  • 1. password (unchanged)
  • 2. 123456 (unchanged)
  • 3. 12345678 (unchanged)
  • 4. abc123 (up 1)
  • 5. qwerty (down 1)

  • 25. password1 (new)

We sure hope you didn't find one of your passwords. If you did, we highly advice you switch it fast. For tips on choosing strong passwords, watch the video above.

Following the high-profile hacks of Yahoo, LinkedIn, eHarmony and Last.fm passwords this year, Internet users have hopefully given some additional thought to their online security. What are your best tips for staying secure online? Let us know in the comments.

Defense calls witnesses in Ohio Craigslist murder case

AKRON, Ohio (Reuters) - The defense for the teen accused of killing three men lured with an ad on Craigslist opened its case on Monday with witnesses who testified the young man was raised without much supervision.

Brogan Rafferty, 17, and Richard Beasley, 53, are charged with the murder of three men and the attempted murder of another in a deadly robbery scheme. Closing arguments in the trial, which started in early October, could begin later this week, attorneys said.

The Ohio case is one of a series across the nation involving perpetrators who either found victims through the Craigslist website or other social media sites, or used the Internet for criminal purposes.

Among the witnesses Monday was Rafferty's father, a machinist who worked 65 hours a week, raised his son alone and described himself as a strict disciplinarian.

Michael Rafferty testified that by the time his son was 6 years old, he was expected to get himself ready for school. "We are not emotional people," the father explained. "My family does not tolerate weakness."

Rafferty and Beasley were arrested in November 2011 after a North Carolina man named Scott Davis told police he had been shot by the pair after answering an online job ad.

Shortly after the two were arrested, authorities discovered the bodies of David Pauley, 51, of Norfolk, Virginia; Ralph Geiger, 56, of Akron, Ohio; and Timothy Kern, 47, of Massillon, Ohio, in shallow graves around Ohio.

All three men had answered the same Craigslist ad Scott had answered, touting a $300-a-week job south of Akron, Ohio.

Rafferty, who was 16 years old when he was arrested, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted.

All the defense witnesses Monday described Rafferty as quiet and polite and testified that they saw a change in his mood and demeanor in the fall of 2011, shortly after the first victim was shot.

Beasley, who prosecutors say was the trigger man, is scheduled to stand trial in January. He was already facing drug and prostitution charges in Ohio as well as a probation violation charge in Texas and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Odierno Shares Views on Military's Relationship With Media

Odierno Shares Views on Military?s Relationship With Media

By David Vergun
Army News Service

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2012 ? The biggest challenge in the relationship between the military and the media is working together in an uncertain environment in an age of instant communication, the Army?s chief of staff said here Oct. 19.

Gen.?Ray Odierno shared his views on military-media relations in remarks and a question-and-answer session with about 60 journalists attending the 10th annual Military Reporters and Editors Conference.

?As we move forward, and as I look at what?s going on around the world, the ability to communicate instantaneously is only going to get faster and faster and faster, and the ability to report is going to get faster and faster and faster,? he said. ?And, the pressure requirements on you and as well as me to understand the environment on what?s going on is going to become more important as well. You have to get the story in quickly to be able to publish what you think you?re seeing.?

In this fast-paced environment, Odierno said, it is inevitable that first reports out will be wrong about 50 percent of the time, due to a variety of circumstances. He said it is up to the military to follow up on those first reports by getting the most accurate information back out to the reporters as the facts become known and available.

?This requires a good interchange, strong relationships and trust to do that,? he added. In his experience, the general said, that bond of trust does exist.

?A large majority of [media] people I?ve associated with over my 36 years in the Army have been very professional,? Odierno said. ?I don?t ever remember a time when that trust was broken, and I think that?s important. And, I really, really do appreciate that, and that?s the kind of relationship we want to continue as we move forward.?

Trust works both ways, he added. The military must provide reporters with all the correct facts they need for their stories in a timely manner, he said, and must rely on reporters, in turn, to maintain operational security.

?Off-the-record sessions were some of the best sessions I?ve had with reporters,? he said. ?It gave me the opportunity to discuss what?s on my mind, and they discovered and discussed things with me that I didn?t know that enabled me to do my job better.?

Odierno said the Army must continue to reach out to the media.

?We?re going to engage and outreach with you and have a relationship with you here, overseas, during training events, no matter where it is, during tough problems and good problems,? he said. ?We?re going to build a relationship and work together to get you the right facts so your stories are reported accurate, important and cutting-edge.?

The Army?s relationship with the media has evolved in positive ways, Odierno said, as it now works more closely with reporters and is evolving away from the embedded approach, in which reporters cover warfare with a specific unit. ?I think sometimes the media feels trapped,? he explained, ?because the military says when and where they go and don?t go.?

The media are moving around more and building networks, he added, but safety and security considerations sometimes will require reporters to embed with units.

Odierno said he has genuine positive feelings for the media.

?As corps commander in Iraq and then Multinational Force Iraq commander, I was impressed with the heroism [of the media] as I watched many people operate, putting their own personal safety at risk, to deliver news to people back in the United States. I learned to respect that,? the general said.

The chief of staff admitted that his own efforts to report the news have been less than successful. He said he?s had a Facebook page since he served in Iraq, but that his audience is mostly internal. He has had more success reaching an audience outside the Army, he said, with the recent launch of his Twitter account, @GenRayOdierno.

The question-and-answer session touched on a variety of topics, including the new U.S. defense strategy that focuses on the Asia-Pacific region. Odierno said the Army is establishing programs of multilateral engagements throughout that region, including training exercises and humanitarian missions. It is crucial to build more transparency with China, he added, and he held out the possibility that some multinational exercises could include China.

He also touched on the Army?s professionalism.

?We have a battle-hardened, battle-tested leader capability that will give us an advantage as we look and adjust to the future,? he said, adding that the Army will need these leaders as it adjusts to a more complex world environment.

?What we ask our captains and our lieutenant colonels today is a lot harder than what I had to do when I was a captain or lieutenant colonel, because the world is more complex and difficult, and the challenges they?re going to face are more difficult,? he said. ?They?re adaptive leaders who mix the science and art of war together to come up with the right solutions at the right time.?

Pope creates first Native American saint

Lucas Jackson / Reuters

A statue of St. Kateri Tekakwitha in Auriesville, New York, seen on Friday.

By Claudio Lavanga, NBC News

VATICAN CITY - She was known as Lily of the Mohawks, or the Pocahontas of the Catholic Church. But on ?Sunday, Kateri Tekakwitha went down in history as the first Native American saint.

Born more than 300 years ago in the Mohawks village of Ossernion - today Ausierville, forty miles from Albany NY - she was one of seven people canonized by Pope Benedict XVI Sunday in an open-air ceremony held in Saint Peter?s Square.?

One of the remaining six was also American: Mother Marianne Cope, a 19th century Franciscan nun who cared for leprosy patients in Hawaii.

Kateri had a short life ? she died at 24 ? and yet, as for most saints, her devotion to Christianity, sacrifices and ?heroic virtue? were so inspirational that her legacy survived for generations.

Alessandra Tarantino / AP

Pope Benedict XVI kisses the altar as he celebrates a canonization ceremony, in St. Peter's Square, at the Vatican, Sunday.

Her mother was a Christian Algonquin woman who was captured during a raid and given as wife to a Mohawks tribal member. She was born in the middle of the 17th century, a time of infighting between rival American tribes, deadly diseases and colonization. And a time when French Jesuit priests preached in the area, trying to convert locals to Christianity.

Kateri was only four years old when a smallpox epidemic spread among the Mohawks tribe. Her parents and younger brother were killed and although she survived she was left with permanent scars on her face and an impaired vision. The Jesuit priests were held accountable for having brought the disease, and three of them were slaughtered.

A faithful wearing Indian headress attends a special mass to name seven new saints in St Peter's square at Vatican on Sunday.

And yet, at the age of 20, Kateri swapped the Totem for the Crucifix.

She converted to Catholicism after living close to French Jesuit priests, something her family and village saw as a betrayal for siding up with colonizers. She soon became a pariah in her own tribe after refusing to marry a Mohawk man, and was forced to leave the village to practice freely her new faith. She walked hundreds of miles to Quebec, Canada, to join a community of Christian women, and took a vow of lifetime chastity.

Soon her devotion led to self-inflicted painful penances. She is believed to have walked barefoot in show, for whipping herself bloody with reeds, praying hours in an unheated chapel on her bare knees on a cold stone floor or for sleeping on a bed of thorns.

In the end, the punishing penances are believed to have contributed to the weakening of her health, until her premature death at 24 years old. And it was immediately after her death, the legend goes, that it became clear she would be on her way to sainthood. Her smallpox scars, witnesses claimed, miraculously disappeared minutes after her death.

Although the petition for her canonization was filed in 1884, she was only blessed ? the first step to become a saint ? by Pope John Paul II in 1980.

Video shows an anti-austerity protester jumping the railing at the observation deck atop St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican to set up camp with a sign on the iconic Italian dome. NBC's Michelle Kosinski reports.

The miracle that sealed her sainthood came in 2006, when Jake Finkbonner, then a 5-year old boy from Ferndale, WA, miraculously recovered from a flash-eating bacteria, allegedly through Kateri?s intercession. Jake contracted Necrotizing fasciitis, a potentially deadly infection, after cutting his lip on a baseball field. In a matter of days, his condition became so critical his parents gave him his last rites and discussed donating his organs.

When medical help seemed hopeless, his father Donny, a Catholic member of the native American Lummi tribe, turned to Kateri, already an icon in the local catholic community and the subject of many stories he heard as a child. His congregation prayed Kateri and his mother even placed a small relic, a small piece of Tekakwitha?s wrist bone, on his body. ?Soon after, Jake recovered.

On his website, Jake also remembers the role played by doctors: ?Please don't confuse the issue which is that my survival is a miracle?, he writes.? ?We thank the doctors at Children's Hospital for all that they did to save my life.? I wouldn't be here without them?.

Pope Benedict's XVI former butler took the stand in a Vatican courtroom and admitted to stealing private documents from the papal apartment, but ?Paulo Gabriele said he didn't feel guilty of aggravated theft.? He also said he feels guilty of betraying the pontiff's trust.? NBC's Claudio Lavanga reports.??

The canonization of Kateri has been welcomed with mixed feelings in the 2.5 million-strong Native American community. While most of the 680,000 catholic Native Americans are thrilled to finally have their own saint and icon, others still resent the role of Catholicism during the colonial era and the way it affected the indigenous traditions, culture and customs.?

Some traveled to Rome to see the ceremony.?Dressed in a traditional Indian Squaw brown dress and braided hair, Valery Moran had come from Saskatchewan, Canada, to support her hero. ?I am honored to witness the canonization of our first aboriginal saint?, she told NBC News.

"She is my role model, I named my baby after her. My baby is called Kateri."

Bill Volker, a falconer and sole representative of the Comanche Nation, had mixed feelings about the canonization. "It?s bittersweet, but I am delighted. It?s the right direction after all these years,? he told NBC News in St. Peter?s Square. ?Our relationship with the all churches have not always been the best in the Americas, but I think this heralds a new day for us?.?

The Vatican's complicated saint-making procedure requires that the Vatican certify a "miracle" was performed through the intercession of the candidate ? a medically inexplicable cure that can be directly linked to the prayers offered by the faithful. One miracle is needed for beatification, a second for canonization.?

The five other new saints are: Jacques Berthieu, a 19th century French Jesuit who was killed by rebels in Madagascar, where he had worked as a missionary; Giovanni Battista Piamarta, an Italian who founded a religious order in 1900 and established a Catholic printing and publishing house in his native Brescia; Carmen Salles Y Barangueras, a Spanish nun who founded a religious order to educate children in 1892; and Anna Schaeffer, a 19th century German lay woman who became a model for the sick and suffering after she fell into a boiler and badly burned her legs. The wounds never healed, causing her constant pain.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Ed Cowan eager to take on South Africa ? Cricket News Update ...

Ed Cowan eager to take on South Africa ? Cricket News Update

Australian Test opener Ed Cowan has identified the upcoming extended-overs series against South Africa as the ideal opportunity for Australia to cement their status as a top Test team, in addition to providing him the chance to prove his worth and secure his place in the national Test XI.

?If you are proving yourself against the South Africans at the moment you are a high quality Test player,? said Cowan. ?And it also makes it pretty clear cut if you are scoring runs against them as opposed to Bangladesh or Zimbabwe when everyone is still asking questions, saying ?oh he wouldn't do it against the best team in the world?.

?Well here we are ... the best team in the world, let?s see how good we are.?

Currently at number three on the ICC?s Test team rankings, Australia will be hosting South Africa for a series of 3 Test matches, due to be played from November 9 to December 4, at the Gabba, the Adelaide Oval, and at Perth. The series provides the Aussies the perfect opportunity to claim the top Test team spot from the South African team.

However, in order to do that, they will need to work their way through the formidable Proteas line-up. Led by intimidating batsman Graeme Smith, South Africa boasts batsmen such as AB de Villiers and Hashim Amla, alongside a fierce pace attack featuring Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, and Vernon Philander.

However, with in-form batsmen such as all-rounder Shane Watson in the team, and promising young pacers such as James Pattinson and Mitchell Starc available for selection, alongside seniors Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus, Australia are looking in prime form, and bound to put up a tough fight.

Unlike some of his teammates, however, Cowan has not been in convincing form of late. Despite having impressed with a 68 against India on debut in December 2011, the left-hander has failed to pull off anything spectacular in the 7 Tests he has played for Australia so far.

His highest Test score as yet is a 74 against India, and he has three half-tons, and no centuries to his credit. Cowan also put in a mediocre performance during the tour of the Caribbean in April this year, during which he scored just one half-century in three Test matches.

Keeping his recent form in view, the batsman recognised the need to start putting solid performances on the board, in order to retain his place in the XI.

?No one is safe in the Australian cricket team, you have to be scoring runs to be consistently picked,? Cowan observed.

However, Cricket Australia have expressed the intent to persevere with the opening duo of Cowan and David Warner, which means the 30-year-old has a prime opportunity to cement his spot at the top of the Test XI by delivering against the South African giants.

Personal Finance: Deciding When to Bankrupt ? Gerken Financial ...

It is imperative that we make consumers more aware of the? long-term effects of their financial decisions, particularly in managing their? credit card debt, so that they can avoid financial pitfalls that may lead to? bankruptcy. ~ Daniel? Akaka.

Many people fall behind on their?debts, or?may be current on debts but feel so confined by their?payment?that they just want the stress to go away. They turn on the TV?to escape reality and watch a commercial that is selling?bankruptcy.?Bankruptcy attorneys will tell you that it is easy to bankrupt and that you will be free of your burden. However, they are being paid upfront by you. Not only will you pay the?approximately $200 filing fee in Washington State, you will also pay the attorney fee.

?You can only file Chapter 7 bankruptcy once every six years.

Filing bankruptcy, in many cases, does not solve the problem of over-spending that got you?into this position. It is time to?change your habits. You are not bankrupt if your home is underwater. As long as you can afford the payments, you signed a contract with a bank that said you??promised to pay?. Not that you promised to pay if the value was only going up.

Seek professional help

A financial coach is able to walk you through the process of budgeting, prioritizing bills and payments, and making a plan to get out of debt and avoid bankruptcy. It is not easy, and ?it is not a short process. But in the end, you will be pointed in the right direction to change your habits, your life and your future for the better and most of all be in control of your?money?so that you are never in this position again.

Race tightens for Obama, Romney ahead of final debate

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The race between President Barack Obama and rival Mitt Romney has tightened in the days before their final televised debate, with the Republican closing the gap on Obama's slight but steady lead in a Reuters/Ipsos online poll.

Data from the daily tracking poll released on Saturday showed the Democratic incumbent with a small lead over the former Massachusetts governor, but the margin has narrowed from Friday and from results earlier in the week.

Forty-six percent of likely voters said they would vote for Obama in the November 6 election, while 45 percent said they would back Romney.

On Friday, Obama was ahead by three percentage points at 46 percent compared to 43 percent for Romney.

"Our numbers have shown ... Obama fairly steadily ahead by three points over the last couple of days and today's data does show a tightening in those numbers," Ipsos pollster Julia Clark said.

"It's very much neck and neck. I anticipate actually that we're going to see these numbers neck and neck all the way to Election Day."

Romney got a big boost from his strong performance in the first debate on October 3 with Obama, who was widely judged to have given a passive, lackluster performance.

The president charged back with a sharper appearance in their second debate on October 16, comforting frustrated Democrats. While opinion polls showed most viewers thought Obama won that debate, Clark said he did not, in the end, get a noticeable bounce in the polls as a result.

"I wouldn't say that we saw a second-debate bounce for either candidate," she said, while predicting that the third and final debate on Monday would not affect the race dramatically unless one of the candidates made a significant gaffe.

The final debate focuses on foreign policy. Obama is spending the weekend at the presidential retreat at Camp David in Maryland to prepare, and Romney is doing the same in Florida, a battleground state where the debate will be held.

Though national polls give a sense of the mood of the electorate, the winner of the White House race will be determined by electoral votes from a handful of states such as Ohio and Florida that swing, historically, between voting for Republicans and Democrats in presidential elections.

A RealClearPolitics average of polls on Saturday showed Obama ahead in Ohio by 2.5 percentage points and Romney ahead in Florida by 2.1 percentage points.

The precision of Reuters/Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 3.0 percentage points for likely voters.

    As others skimp, rich splurge on holiday gifts

    Scrooge-like spending patterns for the holidays appear to be a thing of the past for wealthy Americans, who are preparing to open their wallets this year after sitting on piles of cash.

    The richest Americans, those in the top 10 percent, or with more than $100,000 in discretionary income, are predicted to spend more this holiday season than the remaining 90 percent of the country's population, according to a quarterly survey by American Express released on Thursday.

    While most Americans will spend less on gifts this year, the top 10 percent raise their gift spending by 21.9 percent, to $19.2 billion, up from $15.7 billion in 2011. That compares with a projected drop in overall gift spending of 3.4 percent, to $66.3 billion, from $66.6 billion last year, according to the American Express 2012 Survey of Affluence and Wealth in America.

    The spending by the wealthiest 10 percent will account for 29 percent of total spending on gifts.

      1. Terminal cancer patient, 13, becomes honorary CoverGirl

        Talia Castellano? has captivated the Internet with her makeup tutorials over the past year. Now the teen has achieved her ...

      2. Martha Stewart paints her Louboutin soles ? black
      3. When kids are bullied or bullies, parents often don't know
      4. Snakes (and bears) alive! Teen takes photos with 840 wild animals
      5. 28 photos of adorably geeky kids

    $1 million watches and more: Neiman Marcus luxury gift catalog is out!

    The rise is explained by the fact that wealthy Americans are sitting on huge piles of savings, said Jim Taylor, vice chairman of the Harrison Group, which conducted the study. Top earners are saving at a high rate - 61 percent of those in the top 1 percent are saving at least 25 percent of their income yearly. But for Americans outside the top 10 percent, only 14 percent are able to save at such an aggressive rate.

    "If the floodgates open, it will lead to a capital boom," Taylor said.

    The moneyed will also spend differently - shelling out for high-end luxury items, shunning gift cards and spending quite a bit on themselves, American Express said.

    The study, conducted in September, surveyed 832 people with household incomes of more than $138,000 and discretionary income over $100,000.

    There are other signs, however, that Americans overall are starting to spend more. While the American Express study only surveyed gift spending, an annual forecast by the National Retail Federation's forecast that looked more broadly at holiday spending - including decorations, greeting cards, holiday foods, flowers and other items, as well as gifts - saw a rise of 1.2 percent, to $749.51 per consumer, up from $740.57 last year.

    The richest 10 percent may have more money, but in at least one way they are just like other Americans: they want gift cards. Some 60 percent of Americans desire gift cards, according to the NRF. However, the spouses or partners of the wealthy are not planning on getting them what they want, according to American Express.

    Of the 34 percent of women who want a gift card to a specific retailer, only 11 percent of their spouses or partners plan on giving that as a gift. For the 18 percent of men who want a gift certificate to a restaurant, only 5 percent of their partners are likely to be wrapping that up.

    "Nobody is going to give somebody a gift card for $5,000 rather than getting them that new bracelet. It's not quite the same emotional impact," said Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a New Canaan, Connecticut-based company that analyzes retail trends.

    Because of the disparity between what respondents want and what they're likely to get, the richest Americans plan to do a lot of shopping for themselves for the holidays - 46 percent of women in the wealthiest 10 percent say they will buy for themselves, and 27 percent of men, said the Harrison Group's Taylor.

    Clothing, accessories and jewelry are among the top items women will be buying for themselves. Men will snap up clothing, fine liquor and gourmet foods.

    Terry's forced apology and Chelsea's private justice will not do ...

    COMMENT
    By Liam Twomey

    For those who have waited a year for some public sign of contrition from John Terry, Thursday?s statement apologising for the racist language directed at QPR defender Anton Ferdinand and accepting his FA punishment might be viewed as a small victory.


    But far more will remain dissatisfied by what they see as an attempt by Chelsea and their captain to draw a line under the incident rather than properly confront what is, at the very least, a very serious error of judgment which requires their full attention.

    In truth, Terry could do little else than apologise. The comprehensive and compelling nature of the FA?s written justification for reaching a different conclusion to the one arrived at by Westminster Magistrates? Court back in July left him no other alternative.

    "Although I'm disappointed with the FA judgment, I accept that the language I used, regardless of the context, is not acceptable on the football field or indeed in any walk of life,? his statement read.

    "As I stated in the criminal case, with the benefit of hindsight my language was clearly not an appropriate reaction to the situation for someone in my position. My response was below the level expected by Chelsea Football Club, and by me, and it will not happen again."

    Terry did not go as far as to validate the FA?s view that his defence against the charge was ?impossible, implausible and contrived?. Nor did anyone expect him to, given that to do so would leave him open to a possible criminal charge of perjury.

    For the first time, he did publicly accept that his words were unacceptable in any context and apologised for any offence caused, although the fact that such an expression of regret has taken so long and did not name Ferdinand, the victim of all of this, on its eventual arrival will anger many.

    But perhaps the bulk of criticism will be directed at Chelsea themselves, who have stalled and stalled on the issue of punishing Terry for his misdemeanour while hiding behind the fact that their captain still enjoyed a right of appeal against the FA.

    Now, belatedly, they have elected to take action, and its timing is in itself puzzling. If the club believe, as they say in a statement released shortly after Terry?s own, that their player made the right decision in not appealing his ban and fine and had already conducted a full internal investigation which found against him, why did they not sanction him earlier?

    But the most troubling issue is the news that any consequences Terry will face at his club may never be made public. Of course, Chelsea are just one of many clubs who routinely keep their disciplinary procedures internal, but this was far from a routine situation. For the club simply to say they have done something is not enough. They must allow themselves to be seen to have done something.

    The likeliest cause of the Blues? unwillingness to reveal the level of punishment is that they suspect it will be deemed insufficient, leaving them open to a similar level of castigation from football, anti-racism groups and society at large to what the FA endured when they elected to hit Terry with only a four-game ban and ?220,000 fine.

    But if an instinct for self-preservation is the best reason for Chelsea not to reveal what steps they have taken, this simply will not do. True justice does not exist if it is not done in public and open to scrutiny. The club's chosen course merely strengthens the growing suspicion that ethical concerns take secondary importance to the issues of financial prudence and sporting competitiveness in modern football.

    It is highly likely that, if Terry was a middling 18-year-old in the Chelsea youth system or a fan mouthing such filth in the stands, the club would have been unerring and very public in applying their often trumpeted zero tolerance policy on discrimination to the letter. Indeed, Blues fan was banned from Stamford Bridge for life in May for racially abusing Didier Drogba, and Jon Obi Mikel's Twitter abusers will, if found, face a similar punishment.

    As things stand, however, despite his reputation now lying in tatters and his ability appearing to be on the slide in his twilight years, Terry remains too valuable to upset or discard.

    Google results miss; shares dive after premature report

    SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google Inc's quarterly results fell well short of Wall Street's expectations after its core advertising business slowed, stunning investors accustomed to consistently rapid growth from the Internet giant and wiping more than 9 percent off its market value.

    The disappointing numbers on Thursday came hours ahead of schedule in a rare instance of premature filing. Google blamed the misfire on an unauthorized filing by its financial printers, RR Donnelley & Sons Co, and later confirmed the numbers' accuracy.

    The earnings report, which had not been expected until after the market close, revealed a weakening in Google's core Internet advertising business and persistent losses at its recently acquired cellphone business, Motorola Mobility.

    Shares of Google, the world's No. 1 Internet search engine, finished Thursday's regular trading session down 8 percent at $695 after a brief trading halt. Some analysts said the inadvertent results release spurred confusion and exacerbated its stock price decline.

    Google executives maintained in a conference call on Thursday that the company's various businesses continued to benefit from healthy growth and that Google was well-positioned to capitalize on consumer's increasing use of mobile devices.

    Chief Executive Larry Page, speaking on his first earnings call since an unspecified voice ailment sidelined him from public speaking in June, said that Google's mobile business was now generating revenue at an annualized run rate of $8 billion.

    Page acknowledged that mobile ad rates were below the rates that Google garners for ads that appear on its standard website. But he said the variety of Web-connected devices used by consumers is creating "a huge new universe of opportunities for advertisers."

    "We're uniquely positioned to get through that transition and to really profit from it," Page said, citing Google's Android mobile software, the world's top operating system for smartphones by market share.

    Google, which has been struggling to turn around a Motorola Mobility hardware business it bought for $12.5 billion, reported a 20 percent dive in net income to $2.18 billion. Excluding certain items, it earned $9.03 a share, vastly underperforming the $10.65 analysts had expected, on average.

    "We have been saying this thing was ripe for a pullback. It's not like they're Google not being Google, but you still have some major issues," said BCG analyst Colin Gillis.

    "Click prices declined for the fourth consecutive quarter after rising for eight consecutive quarters before then. That's a negative. This is the mobile problem."

    "The other bit is the Motorola millstone had been ignored by the market, and - boom - now you've got weak revenue from Motorola. When you acquire a business and you're about to whack all kinds of people and close offices, you know what happens to the employees? They take their eye off the ball. Sales are down," Gillis explained.

    Net revenue growth at Google's main Internet business increased 17 percent year-over-year, the first time growth in that business has fallen below 20 percent since 2009. Google Finance Chief Patrick Pichette stressed on the conference call that the revenue growth rate was higher if the impact of foreign currency exchange rates was backed out.

    "It was just too rapid a deceleration," said Pivotal Research Group analyst Brian Wieser. "Many of the same underlying trends drive Facebook advertising."

    Shares of Facebook Inc, which headed south shortly after Google's inadvertent filing, closed down 4.6 percent. Google's snafu recalled Facebook's debut, which was marred by technical glitches that also spooked traders and contributed to the stock's first-day decline.

    The decline in Google's shares come after a three-month run-up in its stock, which reached an all-time high of $774.38 earlier this month.

    A BAD MISS?

    Google reported net revenue - excluding traffic acquisition costs - of $11.3 billion for the third quarter, below Wall Street's expectations for about $11.9 billion.

    For the fourth consecutive quarter, the company reported a decline in average cost-per-click (CPC), a critical metric that denotes the price advertisers pay Google.

    Average CPC declined 15 percent from a year ago and 3 percent from the second quarter of this year. Analysts say that Google, like many of its peers in the Internet industry, has been struggling to adapt to the rapid consumer uptake in mobile devices. Advertisers pay far less for ads on smartphones and tablets than for similar ads on desktop computers.

    "The core business seems to have slowed down pretty significantly, which is shocking," said B. Riley analyst Sameet Sinha. "The only conclusion I can look at is, search is happening more and more outside of Google, meaning people are searching more through apps than through Google search."

    "That could indicate a secular change, especially when it comes to ecommerce searches. The big fear has always been, what if people decide just to go straight to Amazon and do their searches? And potentially that's what could be happening."

    But Ryan Jacob, chairman and chief investment officer of Jacob Funds, said he viewed Google's results as only "minorly disappointing," with most of the weakness coming from Motorola as expected.

    "Unfortunately, by dropping an 8K in the middle of a trading day, people kind of shoot first, ask questions later," said Jacob, whose fund owns Google shares.

    JP Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth said in a note that the Google results were "light" but not as bad as they appeared at "first blush."

    FILING SNAFU

    Google, which recently overtook Microsoft Corp to become the second-largest U.S. technology company by capitalization, had been due to release its results after the market close.

    The second paragraph of the press release merely read "Pending Larry quote," suggesting that space was reserved for comment from CEO Larry Page.

    "Earlier this morning RR Donnelley, the financial printer, informed us that they had filed our draft 8K earnings statement without authorization," Google said in a statement. "We have ceased trading on NASDAQ while we work to finalize the document. Once it's finalized we will release our earnings, resume trading on NASDAQ and hold our earnings call as normal at 1:30 PM PT."

    Shares of RR Donnelley, the U.S. printing services company, slid as much as 5 percent. They closed down 1 percent at $10.76.

    Reed Kathrein, a plaintiff lawyer with Hagens Berman who sues companies on behalf of investors, said investors would not have a claim against either Google or RR Donnelley because the earnings disclosure was likely a mistake.

    "There's no fraudulent intent here," Kathrein said.

    However, Google could have a negligence claim against RR Donnelly to recover any additional costs it incurred in responding to the incident, Kathrein added.

    "Everyone is trying to figure out if there's any legal issue with respect to RR Donnelley," said Michael Matousek, senior trader at U.S. Global Investors Inc, which manages about $3 billion in San Antonio.
