Diamond Realty Management Inc., Announces ... - Real Estate Japan

Mitsubishi Corp.?s subsidiary, Diamond Realty Management Inc., a private real estate asset manager in Japan, announced the start of its open-end real estate fund called DREAM Private REIT (DPR) that initially consists of three real estate assets with a size of about 31.7 billion yen or $402 million.

Open-end real estate fund or private REIT is a type of financial product that is different from closed-end funds in the sense that there is no end to the fund term. Since it is not listed, the investment value is not affected or influenced by the fluctuations of the capital markets.

According to reports, the fund will help in the expansion of the companies? private equity real estate business. The properties acquired and developed by Mitsubishi Corp., may serve as potential assets for DPR, whose size is expected to reach around 150 billion yen or 1.90 billion in a span of three years and 250 billion yen or $3.17 billion in five years.

DPR is the first private REIT in Japan that will focus on retail and the logistics market. DPR will acquire properties set on locations occupied by tenants that generate stable income streams. It is also geared towards pension funds or institutional investors that look for long-term investment options. DPR offers new investment opportunities that will also give stable returns.

DREAM, the asset manager of DPR, started in 2004 and has since then, built several closed-end funds with equity investments from foreign and local institutional investors. DREAM is now the largest real estate asset manager sponsored by a general trading company in the country.

October 30th - Two New Entries to the Asbestos Timeline : Asbestos ...

Lots of things going on in some of the asbestos and mesothelioma cases I'm working on, so only a couple of new asbestos timeline entries today:

1955 ? The American Journal of Pathology reports that lung cancer is an ?associated cancer? of asbestos exposure, and suggests that decreasing occupational exposure to asbestos will lead to a decrease in occupational lung cancer. Bosner, G.M., et al. (1955) ?Occupational Cancer of the Urinary Bladder in Dyestuffs Operatives and of the Lung in Asbestos Textile Workers and Iron-Ore Miners? American Journal of Clinical Pathology. Vol. 25, No. 1-12; p.132

1955 ? Dr. Donald Hunter?s 1,000+ page textbook The Diseases of Occupations discusses asbestos-related diseases such as asbestosis. The textbook concludes that death may result from as little as 12 years of asbestos exposure. Hunter, D. The Diseases of Occupations ? 1955 Little, Brown and Company. Boston. p. 876-877

Smart as a bird: Flying rescue robot will autonomously avoid obstacles

ScienceDaily (Oct. 30, 2012) ? Cornell researchers have created an autonomous flying robot that is as smart as a bird when it comes to maneuvering around obstacles.

Able to guide itself through forests, tunnels or damaged buildings, the machine could have tremendous value in search-and-rescue operations. Small flying machines are already common, and GPS technology provides guidance. Now, Ashutosh Saxena, assistant professor of computer science, and his team are tackling the hard part: how to keep the vehicle from slamming into walls and tree branches. Human controllers can't always react swiftly enough, and radio signals may not reach everywhere the robot goes.

The test vehicle is a quadrotor, a commercially available flying machine about the size of a card table with four helicopter rotors. Saxena and his team have already programmed quadrotors to navigate hallways and stairwells using 3-D cameras. But in the wild, these cameras aren't accurate enough at large distances to plan a route around obstacles. So, Saxena is building on methods he previously developed to turn a flat video camera image into a 3-D model of the environment using such cues as converging straight lines, the apparent size of familiar objects and what objects are in front of or behind each other -- the same cues humans unconsciously use to supplement their stereoscopic vision.

Graduate students Ian Lenz and Mevlana Gemici trained the robot with 3-D pictures of such obstacles as tree branches, poles, fences and buildings; the robot's computer learns the characteristics all the images have in common, such as color, shape, texture and context -- a branch, for example, is attached to a tree. The resulting set of rules for deciding what is an obstacle is burned into a chip before the robot flies. In flight the robot breaks the current 3-D image of its environment into small chunks based on obvious boundaries, decides which ones are obstacles and computes a path through them as close as possible to the route it has been told to follow, constantly making adjustments as the view changes. It was tested in 53 autonomous flights in obstacle-rich environments -- including Cornell's Arts Quad -- succeeding in 51 cases, failing twice because of winds. The results were presented at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in Portugal Oct. 7-12.

Saxena plans to improve the robot's ability to respond to environment variations such as winds, and enable it to detect and avoid moving objects, like real birds; for testing purposes, he suggests having people throw tennis balls at the flying vehicle.

The project is supported by a grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Vila, who turns 55 this weekend and who keepers say is the third-oldest known western lowland gorilla in the world, gives the youngest member of the troupe, 1-year-old Monroe, a ride on her back at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park Friday, Oct. 26, 2012. Her keepers report that she is in remarkable condition and credit the climate of Southern California as one reason for Vila's exceptional health. Vila has served as a surrogate mother of several hand-raised gorillas and currently plays the role of "grandmother" Monroe. Vila was hand raised at the zoo and is notable not only for her age but for the contributions she's made to the understanding of this critically endangered species. She participated in a landmark six-year study on great ape intelligence, which contributed to the base of scientific knowledge that researchers now have on gorillas.

All quiet as deadline for full NHL season nears

NEW YORK (AP) ? The NHL's deadline for playing a full, 82-game season arrived Thursday with no new discussions between the league and its locked-out players.

Without a new collective bargaining agreement that would end the league's lockout of players on its 40th day, the NHL vowed to cut the season short. An announcement officially taking a full schedule out of play wasn't immediately planned.

Major money-making events such as the upcoming outdoor Winter Classic and the All-Star game could soon be in peril, too.

"No contact, and I don't anticipate any announcements today," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Associated Press in an email Thursday.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman already painted a pessimistic picture on Wednesday, saying at a news conference for the Islanders' move to Brooklyn that, "Unfortunately, it looks like an 82-game season is not going to be a reality."

The league has already canceled all 135 scheduled games through Nov. 1, but the thought was those could be rescheduled if a deal was reached by the end of Thursday and play started Nov. 2.

In making its most recent offer to the players, the NHL presented a proposal that included a 50-50 split of hockey-related revenues. But that was contingent on the sides making the Thursday deadline and getting the season under way following a week of training camp.

The union responded with three counterproposals, all of which would get the sides to a 50-50 deal, but the league rejected them quickly because they didn't work off the NHL's offer. Talks then broke down, and the NHL turned down the union's offer to return to the table this week with no preconditions. The union wants anything and everything open to discussion.

The league's position is if the players' association isn't willing to negotiate off the NHL's offer ? which Bettman has called the league's best ? or make a counteroffer using that proposal as a framework, then there is no sense in meeting just to meet.

"The fact of the matter is there are just sometimes that you need to take time off because it's clear that you can't do anything to move the process forward," Bettman said. "We're at one of those points right now because we gave our very best offer. That offer, for better or for worse, was contingent on playing an 82-game season. So I think things actually in some respects may get more difficult."

NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr said Wednesday night that the league's deadline was bogus.

"We are and continue to be ready to meet to discuss how to resolve our remaining differences, with no preconditions. For whatever reason, the owners are not," he said. "At the same time they are refusing to meet, they are winding the clock down to yet another artificial deadline they created."

There is a major divide between the sides over how to deal with existing player contracts. The union wants to ensure that those are all paid in full without affecting future player contracts. Bettman expressed a willingness to discuss the "make whole" provisions on existing contracts, but only if the economic portions of the league's offer are accepted first by the union.

Bettman refused to say whether the 50-50 split in the proposal would come off the table if a full season isn't played.

"I'm not going to negotiate publicly," he said.

This lockout, the third of Bettman's tenure as commissioner, began Sept. 16. The 2004-05 season was lost in the last work stoppage.

Eric Hartsburg Tattoos Mitt Romney Logo Onto Forehead, Gets Paid ...

While most of us just put election ads on "mute," Eric Hartsburg has learned to face them down. Literally.

That's because the Indiana resident has Mitt Romney's presidential campaign "R" permanently tattooed in a 5 by 2 inch space on his forehead. He had previously offered the spot for sale on eBay with a starting bid of $5,000, reports the Herald Argus.

Hartsburg tweeted his intentions, fully acknowledging the permanence of his offer -- and someone, presumably a Romney supporter, handed over the $5,000.

Eric Hartsburg

I am now on sale! Ad space is now available from head to toe for permanent tattoo impressions that will without a doubt last a lifetime

What was Hartsburg's motive? "I wish it could be a more noble cause than just saying, 'hey, let's have a good time'," he explained to ABC 57. "But you only live once, and I was born with a forehead, so why not?" Words that will live for posterity: I was born with a forehead.

According to RTV6, when Hartsburg isn't busy selling himself on eBay, he works as a professional wrestler.

Marrow match sought for teen with leukemia | Cancer Kick

Friends and family of a Mira Loma High School student fighting leukemia are holding a bone marrow drive Monday in hopes of finding a donor for the teen and others needing the potentially lifesaving procedure.

Kurt Lee, 16, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia nearly a year ago after noticing a rash and experiencing arm pain while taking a pre-calculus test. Blood work to rule out a staph infection showed his white blood count was at an ?astronomical level,? said his dad, Tim Lee, who is a doctor.

Kurt Lee underwent four rounds of chemotherapy in the pediatric oncology unit at the University of California, San Francisco, that took a toll on his body but ultimately put him in remission.

?We thought he was doing fairly well,? Tim Lee said. ?He returned to Mira Loma (this school year) and two weeks in, he had a relapse.?

The teen is going through another round of chemotherapy and then will need a bone marrow transplant. Organizers of Monday?s bone marrow drive said they are particularly reaching out to Asian communities because Kurt is Chinese and any matching donor is likely to share his ancestry.

Asians are underrepresented on national donor registries, according to the National Marrow Donor Program.

?The important thing for these bone marrow drives is that they also help other people by increasing the pool of donors,? Tim Lee said.

The donor drive will be Monday from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Mira Loma High School, 4000 Edison Ave., Sacramento.

Those interested in being added to the registry will have their cheek swabbed and fill out paperwork. It is free for people 18 to 44 years old.

The donor drive is sponsored by BloodSource and Be The Match.

For more information on the bone marrow drive or to sign up to volunteer, call Jodie Thayer at (916) 799-6017.

On Saturday, the Leukemia Lymphoma Society will host a Light the Night Walk at 5 p.m. at the Capitol to raise funds for research and to support people battling cancer.

A team honoring Kurt Lee is raising money and will be participating in the walk.

Box Office: Paranormal Activity 4 Wins, Tyler Perry&#39;s Alex Cross ...

Well, that didn't quite work.

Alex Cross, Tyler Perry's first starring stint outside of a movie branded as, well, Tyler Perry's, played below modest expectations at the weekend box office, debuting to a so-so $11.8 million, per estimates, and failing to expand beyond Perry's core audience.

Paranormal Activity 4 topped all films with a $30.2 million take, although, theater for theater, the Oscar contender The Sessions was the hottest ticket around?no sly nudity reference intended.

On one hand, Alex Cross played just like a Perry movie, drawing moviegoers who were predominantly African-American women over the age of 35 (and who liked the movie, grading it an A).

But this time the numbers didn't add up.

Alex Cross is Perry's lowest-grossing opener as an actor; it is the second-lowest debut of his career, after Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls, which he wrote, directed and produced.

Five Tyler Perry movies to see (especially if you've never seen one)

The funny or not-funny thing, depending on your perspective, is that Perry was tapped to star in Alex Cross after filmmakers ditched Idris Elba (Luther, Obsessed) because the British actor, who starred in Daddy's Little Girls, by the by, wasn't considered box office.

"Idris is great, but I don't know if he can open a movie," Alex Cross author James Patterson said in the Los Angeles Times.

Overall, Hollywood enjoyed a good weekend, with ticket sales up from last weekend and from last year.While Paranormal Activity 4 led the way, it goes down as its franchise's lowest-opening sequel to date. This, a year after Paranormal Activity 3 blew out of the gate with a franchise-best $50 million opening.

In limited release in New York and Los Angeles, The Sessions, starring John Hawkes and Helen Hunt in various states of undress, grossed $120,000 at four theaters, its studio said, and posted the weekend's best per-screen average.

Elsewhere, a slew of holdovers held well, including Ben Affleck's Argo, the animated Hotel Transylvania and Kevin James' Here Comes the Boom, which had a slow start last weekend.

Here's a complete look at the weekend's top movies, per Friday-Sunday domestic estimates as reported by the studios and Exhibitor Relations:

1. Paranormal Activity 4, $30.2 million
2. Argo, $16.6 million
3. Hotel Transylvania, $13.5 million
4. Taken 2, $13.4 million
5. Alex Cross, $11.8 million
6. Sinister, $9 million
7. Here Comes the Boom, $8.5 million
8. Pitch Perfect, $7 million
9. Frankenweenie, $4.4 million
10. Looper, $4.2 million

BANGKOK (AP) ? Asian stock markets stalled Tuesday following the release of disappointing U.S. corporate earnings, but a weakening yen helped support Japanese shares.

Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 0.1 percent to 9,017.83, a day after the country's currency fell to a three-month low against the dollar. A weak yen helps the country's mammoth export sector by raising the value of company profits repatriated from abroad.

South Korea's Kospi shed 0.3 percent to 1,934.59. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 added 0.2 percent to 4,550.40. Benchmarks in Singapore and Indonesia rose while Taiwan's fell. Mainland Chinese shares were mixed and Hong Kong markets were closed for a public holiday.

U.S. stock markets were nearly flat Monday after investors were hit with more underwhelming third-quarter earnings reports. Investors were disappointed by earnings reports from toy maker Hasbro, clothing maker VF Corp., regional bank SunTrust and other companies.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose marginally to 13,345.89. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose less than 0.1 percent to 1,433.81. The Nasdaq composite index rose 0.4 percent to 3,016.96.

In currencies, the euro rose to $1.3053 from $1.3045 late Monday in New York. The dollar slipped slightly to 79.84 yen from 79.89 yen.

The Japanese currency fell to its lowest level against the dollar in over three months Monday after Japan said that its exports fell 10.3 percent in September from a year earlier.

Benchmark oil for November delivery was up 41 cents to $89.06 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.32 to finish at $88.73 in New York.

Food and Agriculture: The future of sustainability | Platform for ...

From the Committee on Sustainability Assessment (COSA)

A unique report is now available online ? unique because it is a hard-hitting consensus among very diverse and respected leaders.??Food and Agriculture: The future of sustainability?was released by the U.N. Division for Sustainable Development as a major strategic input to its landmark ?Sustainable Development in the 21st Century? Report.??

Abstract:

Our food systems are no longer sustainable. On our current trajectory, severe disruptions to national and regional food systems are highly probable ? the question is when. This report focuses on vital areas of risk and offers a collection of up-to-date information on the current and likely trends for our global food and agriculture systems. It concludes that to handle growing food demand, it is clear that today?s ?business as usual? is not a viable option. Investing in more of the same will not give us different or better results. Agriculture is at the threshold of a necessary paradigm shift and yet, we have not fundamentally altered the way we measure, understand, and incentivize our agricultural systems. A very diverse-thinking group of more than 70 agri-food leaders in the business, policy, ?green,? and social arenas contributed their vision and bold ideas. By opening the silos of partisan thinking to invite reasoned discussion, this report exposes areas of disagreement and reveals many areas of common agreement about strategic options ?that are available right now. It also lays out specific ?high impact? areas where smart decisions will make the most difference for more sustainable and resilient food and agriculture systems.

The key points are distilled in this 2-page Policy Brief on Food and Agriculture: The future of sustainability Download PDF

Nine key areas of consensus have emerged as the key paths of action:

1. Organized small and medium farmers, fully including women farmers, should be a primary focus of investment ? recognizing that private enterprise will play a significant role in many solutions
2. Define the goal in terms of human nutrition rather than simply ?more production?
3. Pursue high yields within a healthy ecology ? they are not mutually exclusive and policy and research must reflect that
4. Impel innovation and the availability of diverse technologies suitable in different socioeconomic and ecological contexts
5. Significantly reduce waste along the entire food chain
6. Avoid diverting food crops and productive land for biofuels, but explore decentralized biofuel systems to promote energy and livelihood security that also diversify and restore rural landscapes
7. Insist on intelligent and transparent measurement of results ? we cannot manage what we cannot measure
8. Develop and adapt public and private institutions that can effectively respond to these new goals
9. Motivate and reward investments and business systems that result in measurable impacts to the

Cell mechanism findings could one day be used to engineer organs

ScienceDaily (Oct. 19, 2012) ? Biologists have teamed up with mechanical engineers from the The University of Texas at Dallas to conduct cell research that provides information that may one day be used to engineer organs.

The research, published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, sheds light on the mechanics of cell, tissue and organ formation. The research revealed basic mechanisms about how a group of bacterial cells can form large three-dimensional structures.

"If you want to create an organism, the geometry of how a group of cells self-organizes is crucial," said Dr. Hongbing Lu, professor of mechanical engineering and holder of the Louis Beecherl Jr. Chair at UT Dallas and an author of the study. "We found that cell death leads to wrinkles, and the stiffer the cell the fewer wrinkles."

Organ formation is the result of individual cells teaming with others. The aggregate of the cells and their environment form a thin layer of what is known as a biofilm. These biofilms form 3-D wrinkled patterns.

Senior author Dr. G?rol S?el, now at the University of California, San Diego, and his colleagues noticed dead cells under the wrinkle pattern. They teamed with Lu to discover what came first -- the cells' death or the wrinkling. Lu is an expert in nanomechanics -- measuring forces on small objects.

They found that groups of cells dying together within the biofilm resulted in the formation of wrinkles. They also found that the stiffness of the biofilm affected the formation of wrinkles. This is significant because it lays the foundation for the first theory about building a structure in tissues and organs, taking both the biological and mechanical forces into consideration.

"There are ways to control whether a biofilm is soft or stiff, and then you control the wrinkling and the ultimate structure the cells become," Lu said.

Researchers then controlled the location where cells died and were able to create artificial wrinkle patterns, verifying their findings.

All of the research was done on bacteria known as Bacillus subtilis.

"Bacillus subtilis has many aspects that are similar to other cells," Lu said. "If we understand how this process works in bacteria, it can open up the door to higher levels of life."

The next step, Lu said, is to create more organized 3D structures using higher forms of life.

Yingjie Du, a doctoral student and Dr. Zhenxing Hu, a postdoctoral research associate in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science at UT Dallas were part of the engineering team that contributed to this research. Researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center, and Universitat Polit?cnica de Catalunya and Universitat Pompeu Fabra, both in Spain, also contributed.

This research was supported by the National Institutes of Health and the James S. McDonnell Foundation.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) ? The head of the Democratic National Committee is distancing herself from the effort to raise money for her party's 2012 convention in Charlotte, which fell millions short despite breaking a pledge to forgo cash from special interests.

At a campaign event Thursday in North Carolina, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Shultz said she knows nothing about the sources for the $24 million raised by the convention's host committee, an amount well short of its $36.7 million goal. To make up the gap, organizers spent $5 million donated by corporations to rent the convention hall and borrowed $8 million more from a credit line underwritten by a corporate partner.

Wasserman Shultz pledged in Charlotte last year that the convention would be paid for without money from corporations, lobbyists or political action committees.

High levels of estradiol, progesterone during pregnancy associated with increased risk for HR-negative breast cancer

ScienceDaily (Oct. 18, 2012) ? Increased concentrations of the pregnancy hormones estradiol and progesterone were associated with an increased risk for hormone receptor-negative breast cancer diagnosed before age 50, according to the results of a nested case-control study presented at the 11th Annual AACR International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research, held in Anaheim, Calif., Oct. 16-19, 2012.

Annekatrin Lukanova, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, Germany, and colleagues examined the effects of hormonal exposure during early pregnancy and its possible association with risk for maternal breast cancer.

"Pregnancy influences maternal risk for breast cancer, but the association is complex and the biological mechanisms underlying the associations are unknown," Lukanova said. "Understanding the mechanisms underlying the protective effect of childbearing on cancer risk can form the basis for primary prevention of breast cancer."

Lukanova and colleagues used the Northern Sweden Maternity cohort to conduct a nested case-control study of 417 controls and 223 women who had donated blood samples during their first trimester of pregnancy and were later diagnosed with breast cancer. About three quarters of the breast cancer cases were hormone receptor (HR)-positive.

The researchers examined two groups of hormones: The first group included estradiol, estrone and progesterone, the concentrations of which increase substantially with pregnancy progression. The second group included testosterone and insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1). During early pregnancy, concentrations of testosterone and IGF-1 are largely similar to prepregnancy concentrations.

"We found that circulating concentrations of IGF-1 and testosterone are directly associated with risk for HR-positive breast cancer, in line with studies in nonpregnant women," Lukanova said.

Results indicated a heightened risk for HR-negative breast cancer diagnosed before 50 years of age with increased levels of estradiol and progesterone.

Lukanova noted that this study was small, that the hormones were measured during the first trimester of pregnancy only, and that further and larger studies will be necessary to characterize the association of pregnancy hormones with risk for hormone-defined maternal breast cancer.

Jason Aldean makes 2nd stop of day in Chicago

CHICAGO (AP) ? As a kid, Jason Aldean thought he would eventually see his name on a scoreboard at baseball stadiums. He gave up that dream when he turned to country music, but achieved it nevertheless Thursday when he made two announcements at iconic landmarks.

Aldean continued his whirlwind tour of surprise appearances around the country by stopping in at Wrigley Field just hours after leaving Fenway Park in Boston.

"I have a love of baseball and a love of music," Aldean said in an interview in front of Wrigley's ivy-covered right-field wall. "To kind of combine those two ? not just playing any stadium but a historic stadium like this that has so much history ? to me it's just unbelieveable.

When he returns to Boston, he'll be making history. He'll be the first country music star to play a concert at Fenway Park, the iconic home of the Boston Red Sox. The July 13 appearance will be the initial stop on his 2013 tour.

Aldean made the day's first announcement with the Green Monster in the background with an assist from Red Sox President/CEO Larry Lucchino. Red Sox players David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia and Jarrod Saltalamacchia welcomed Aldean in a video, and he signed the wall inside the scoreboard, alongside historic figures like Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio.

"Being the first country music artist to ever come here and headline a show is amazing," Aldean said. "It's going to be a fun night. Over the last several years, my career, especially the touring side of that, has been pretty amazing. It's been growing. So thank you guys for having us. I can't wait for July 13."

The Cubs gave him a blue team hoodie for the announcement in Chicago, where it was windy, cold and rainy. By mid-afternoon the secret was already out and several fans stood outside waiting for a glimpse of Aldean. He's got one more stop to make Thursday night.

The Georgia native released his fifth album, "Night Train," this week. That title is an apt metaphor for his career, which has been steaming along on a steep trajectory. About the only thing he hadn't attained yet was a stadium tour, and he's crossing that goal off the list.

Aldean is one of country's top draws, but the stadium tour will move him into rare company. Currently, only Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney have that kind of drawing power. But the hard-rocking singer has earned the status, selling more than 1.9 million tickets on his yearlong "My Kinda Party" tour that wraps in Dallas on Oct. 27.

"You think about how long ago he started, you know, playing the small gigs, holes in the wall and honky-tonks. I mean that's what he did. How do you get here? There's no logical path. It has to consume you," said Chris Parr, one of his managers.

Aldean will be joined in Boston next July by Miranda Lambert, Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett. The area has proven to be receptive to country music. Chesney and Swift have sold out Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, several times and Aldean has drawn enthusiastic crowds at smaller venues.

He'll be joined on July 20 in Chicago by Kelly Clarkson, Owen and Rhett.

The stadium tour isn't the only sign Aldean's career continues to pick up speed. The 35-year-old singer is up for three awards, including top honor entertainer of the year, at the Country Music Association Awards on Nov. 1. The first single from "Night Train," ''Take a Little Ride," had the highest selling digital debut for a solo male country artist and was the fastest rising No. 1 on the country song charts this year.

Stardom hasn't been an endless highlight reel, though. He recently endured his first tabloid moment when photos emerged of an apparent kiss with former "American Idol" contestant Brittany Kerr.

Interviews about his recent successes have been leavened with questions about that encounter. The married father of two apologized to fans in a tweet and asked for privacy for his family. He acknowledged Thursday that fame comes with some drawbacks.

"For me, I think the main thing was it was kind of a learning experience for me and made me realize, I don't know, that maybe I was under the microscope a little more than I thought I was," Aldean said. "But you live and learn, man."

The encounter hasn't dimmed his popularity, however, as his trip from Boston to Chicago shows. Fans followed Aldean's progress across the country by private plane, tweeting his location along the way, and local media were talking about his surprise visit long before he arrived.

Brian O'Connell, Live Nation's president of country music touring, said the goal wasn't to fill venues, but to make sure Aldean can share special moments with his fans.

"We're trying to find something unique instead of just laying out dates like everybody else," O'Connell said. "We really want to think it through, make the right decisions and check some stuff off bucket lists and make some history. That's what we owe him right now."

Rugby Union: Tigers boss looking for more

Leicester boss Richard Cockerill has slammed his side for being "naive" during Sunday's 23-9 loss to Toulouse.

The Tigers led after half an hour but went behind to a Gael Fickou try, after turning the ball over in their own 22.
The error was compounded when scrum-half Ben Youngs took a quick tap early in the second half only for him to lose possesion and spurn the opportunity.
Cockerill has now criticised his players for letting their opponents back into the game and says they'll need to improve if they're to emerge from what is a highly competitive Pool 2.
"I'm very disappointed with what happened just before half time," he told Sky Sports. "We'd actually controlled the game and you have that opportunity to go in three points in the lead, then you try and play and drop the ball.
"They are things we've spoken about all week, about not letting them in the game because they are one of the best teams in the world at getting a benefit from that. We were naive at times - we should be better than that."

No. 9 LSU defeats No. 3 South Carolina, 23-21

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) ? Jeremy Hill capped his breakout game by leaping the fence dividing the field from the stands at Tiger Stadium and embracing a jubilant throng of students as they celebrated LSU's quick ascendance back into the national title discussion.

Hill highlighted a 124-yard, two-touchdown performance with a 50-yard scoring run, and the ninth-ranked Tigers handed No. 3 South Carolina its first loss of the season, 23-21, on Saturday night.

Hill's clutch runs, showcasing his tackle-breaking power as well as breakaway speed, were precisely what LSU needed a week after stumbling to its lone loss of the season at Florida, where the offense had been stagnant.

"We didn't play like we were capable of playing last week against Florida. The entire offense knew that they had to step up and we made that a priority," Hill said. "At the end, it was a great release and we wanted to celebrate with the students who have supported us throughout the season."

LSU (6-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) substantially outgained South Carolina (6-1, 4-1), 406 yards to 211, but struggled to find the end zone. Three times, LSU settled for field goals after driving at least as far as the Gamecocks 5-yard line, and another drive to the South Carolina 15 stalled on a missed field goal.

But Hill's long score with 5:03 left gave LSU a nine-point lead that proved to be just enough cushion for the Tigers.

The run caused bedlam in Death Valley, exactly what South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier did not want to see ? or hear ? after jokingly pretending to be momentarily confused this past week about the fact there are two Death Valley's, one at LSU and one at Clemson.

"That was Death Valley," Miles said triumphantly afterward. "That was the place where opponents' dreams come to die ? and it was spectacular."

Connor Shaw drove South Carolina for a late TD on a short pass to Bruce Ellington with 1:41 left, and the Gamecocks got the ball once more with 35 seconds left, but LSU's defense held up.

Zach Mettenberger had the latest in a string of inconsistent performances but made enough big throws to sustain scoring drives, finishing 12 of 25 for 148 yards. He had one costly interception returned 70 yards by Jimmy Legree, setting up South Carolina's first TD.

Shaw finished 19 of 34 for 177 yards and two TDs, but was intercepted twice, once by Eric Reid to set up LSU's go-ahead field goal in the fourth quarter, and then on the final desperate play by Craig Loston.

"I don't know if he got hit in the head tonight or not," South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said of Shaw. "Some of his decision-making was a little off. ... Connor has played beautifully all year. He had some good plays tonight but he wasn't as sharp as he's been."

Shaw also was sacked four times ? twice by defensive end Sam Montgomery, a South Carolina native.

"South Carolina was coming into our house as the third-ranked team in the country and my mom was here to see me play for the first time this season," Montgomery said. "There was so many things to play for other than just the game."

LSU limited South Carolina, led by star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, to only sack by linebacker Shaq Wilson.

"Some guys came out to play but some guys didn't," said Clowney, who had six tackles. "It may be because they were scared. We will address that in practice. We can't come out against Florida like that" next weekend.

LSU tamed the Gamecocks' pass rush by pounding the ball on the ground, finishing with a whopping 258-34 advantage in yards rushing.

"Tonight I realized why LSU was preseason No. 1. They can run the ball and stop the run," Spurrier said. "That was the biggest difference in the game, probably."

LSU's second field goal cut South Carolina's lead to 14-13 early in the fourth quarter, then LSU was right back in scoring range when Shaw overthrew an open receiver and the ball landed in Reid's lap.

Reid returned it to the Gamecocks 22, then LSU drove to the 5 before settling for its third field goal to take a 16-14 lead.

Marcus Lattimore had a quiet night by his standards, gaining only 35 yards on 13 carries, but give the Gamecocks a 14-10 lead in the third quarter when he impressively broke Reid's tackle on a 2-yard scoring run.

Under heavy criticism after failing to produce at touchdown in a loss a week earlier at Florida, LSU's offense was down to only two opening day starters on the line because right guard Josh Williford was unable to return from a concussion and right tackle Alex Hurst was excused for personal reasons.

"To see the offense moving the way it did tonight was a tremendous credit to them," LSU linebacker Lamin Barrow said. "They have worked all year long to get better and tonight fans got to see what we see in practice every day. ... To see the progress that they made was beautiful. We fed off of them."

The unit opened impressively by driving 69 yards on 16 plays, but settled for a field goal after freshman right tackle Vadal Alexander, elevated to starter two weeks earlier, was flagged for a false start on fourth-and-goal from the 1.

The Tigers were moving on their second series as well until Mettenberger's only major mistake ? Legree's interception, which was returned to the LSU 1. That set up Ace Sanders' short TD catch to give South Carolina a 7-3 lead early in the second quarter.

LSU went back in front on Hill's 7-yard TD run on the first series of the second half.
