Msange charbonnire, great tit
(Parus major)
La msange charbonnire est trs grgaire, vivant et se nourrissant en petits groupes avec d'autres msanges, en dehors de la priode nuptiale. Elle bouge aisment sur le sol, sautillant parmi les herbes. Moins agile que les autres msanges, elle passe beaucoup de temps par terre. L'hiver certaines de celles qui vivent en zones rurales partent la recherche de nourriture vers les jardins.
-------------------------------------
The great tit is very gregarious, alive and feeding in small groups with the other tits, outside bridal period. It moves easily on the ground, skipping among herbs.
Less agile than the other tits, it spends a lot of time on the ground. The winter some of those who live in rural zones search for food towards gardens.

Jon Corzine, you have some explaining to do.
The former CEO of bankrupt broker MF Global is expected to be grilled during a Dec. 15 Capitol Hill hearing by a House subcommittee looking into “the decisions and events” leading up to the collapse of the firm last month.
Investigators probing the bankruptcy, the eighth-largest in US history, have discovered as much as $1.2 billion in customer cash missing from Corzine’s MF Global.
The embattled financier-turned-politician, who once headed Goldman Sachs, was invited yesterday by House Financial Services Oversight and Investigations Committee to explain the decision-making process behind wrong-way bets on $6.3 billion on toxic Europe sovereign debt.
An unknown portion of the missing $1.2 billion in customer cash belongs to small business people who had, in many circumstances, entrusted their life savings to Corzine’s firm — only to find their money frozen in a bankruptcy court maze.
“Jon Corzine should be ‘questioned’ from a jail cell,” Anthony Scano, a commodities trader, said on a Web site for burned MF customers.
When asked about Corzine’s whereabouts on CNBC earlier this week, Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), said, “I have no idea where Mr. Corzine is. He’s AWOL.”
Corzine’s spokesman, Steve Goldberg, declined to say whether Corzine would heed the invitation to testify.
Roberts’ parade of witnesses in the explosive probe also includes Gary Gensler, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, who was former top aide to Corzine when they worked together at Goldman.
Of late, Gensler has been the regulator in charge of transactions that could be involved in the MF Global debacle. He’s recused himself from his own agency’s current probe of the affair.
Corzine reportedly had lobbied his old pal at the CFTC in search of favorable treatment in MF affairs.
Corzine’s former chief of staff while Garden State governor, Bradley Abelow, also was summoned by the panel because Abelow was the chief operating officer of the firm at the time of its collapse.
Investigators also want testimony from another top regulator with oversight of the MF affair, Robert Cook, who heads the Securities and Exchange Commission’s key department of trading and markets.
At least two federal investigation are under way at FBI offices in New York and Chicago, and at the CFTC.
Investigators believe the missing cash apparently vanished after it was unlawfully used to cover MF’s failed bets on risky European gambles.
In one new hopeful sign yesterday, CME Group promised to boost its backup protection pot to $550 million from a previous $250 million by early December.
It will help victims recover up to 75 percent of their lost assets instead of the previous 60 percent estimated by a bankruptcy trustee.

Trojans Coach Lane Kiffin comes onto the field at the end of regulation Saturday to argue there should be one second left on the clock. (Kirby Lee / US Presswire / October 29, 2011)
Here I thought Pat Haden had a problem, with his football coach deciding to be a crybaby for Halloween.
But I've got a daughter at home wearing a Tim Tebow jersey and a wife who asks me what I think of her dressed as Pinkalicious.

Time, in essence, was key in USC's defeat

Trojans work hard but don't play smart against Stanford
shoulder injury, exits game" width="187" height="105" /> USC's Marc Tyler aggravates shoulder injury, exits game
I'd never heard of Pinkalicious, but there she was, dressed from pink shoes to the crown on her head with wings and a wand.
And I thought watching Tebow was frightening.
Pinkalicious apparently ate so many pink cupcakes she turned pink and, judging from the wife's costume, put on so much weight her backside was as big as Mt. Baldy.
"How do I look?" the wife wanted to know.
"Fits you like a glove," I said, and fortunately it was time for three more plays from Tebow before the Broncos had to punt again.
The daughter, meanwhile, having seen enough of Tebow — and haven't we all — went to work dressed as a pig. As you can see, her efforts to find a husband remain a work in progress.
Now if I were Lane Kiffin and I had been summoned to the principal's office to meet with Haden on Halloween morn, I would have come dressed as a referee. Maybe even a blind one.
He has that kind of sense of humor, but I'm not sure Haden does.
As you know by now, Kiffin reminded everyone he's still capable of being immature, making sure everyone knows it was an official who lost Saturday's game, and not USC.
"We should realize everybody gets bad calls and move on," is how Haden put it when we chatted, which is what you would expect Haden to say.
But Kiffin whined Saturday night, then 24 hours later in a conference call with USC beat writers he continued to cry.
He even quoted his 2-year-old son, Knox, as knowing more than the officials.
The last two weeks have put USC back on the football map, and maybe you give Kiffin a pass for being emotional following three overtimes. But his second-day shots were too much.
"I agree," Haden said.
Kiffin said, "I was basically lied to" by an official, and maybe he was, but as Knox could tell him, that's still a no-no to say so.
The Pac-12 apparently agrees, hitting daddy with a $10,000 fine — Santa Claus a little poorer this year.
When you start calling officials liars, it also brings back those pop-off days we heard so much about while he was at Tennessee.
