HEADS UP — “There’s a time bomb for U.S.-Mexico relations ticking underground,” by Quartz’s Zoë Schlanger in College Station, Texas: “All along the 1,250 miles of border between Texas and Mexico, hidden under hundreds of feet of soil and rock, lie more than a dozen underground aquifers—areas of permeable earth that hold water—that crisscross the national boundaries. They might be the only sources of water the region will have left when the Rio Grande, hit by a one-two punch of climate change and a booming population, inevitably dries up. And yet there is no binational agreement for all this shared groundwater.” Quartz

Skipping out on this year’s ceremony at the Microsoft Theater is Field of Dreams and Dante’s Peak alum Lee Garlington, who was up for an award at the Creative Arts Emmys for her role in the web series "Broken" (Christina Pickles took the honor for "Break A Hip"). "I want to stay at home and watch it in my pajamas and eat popcorn,” said Garlington. Meanwhile, fifth-grader and Shameless regular  Christian Isiah isn’t sure whether he’ll get to attend. Clad in a pink suit, purple shirt, and gingham pocket square, the tyke — before devoting his Annenberg Center visit to cellphone games — said that in his dream scenario, he would take a photo with, "Just someone big that has an Emmy in their hands…Anybody, I don’t care," a souvenir to look at "and to say, ‘I have met you before.’" — Jenna Marotta

"It’s huge," Brosnahan told THR during the Governors Ball about her big win. "The best part about it has been how many different aspects of the show have been recognized, either with nominations or wins. It’s really just the cherry on top of this already life-changing incredible [Monday]. We’re so proud of the show and proud to be here together and proud to be in such ridiculously amazing company." Speaking of company, Brosnahan said that her favorite moment of the night was the faux fight with presenter over her new accessory. "Tiffany Haddish handing me this thing and fighting with me for it!"

Also: it’s about needs. For someone that just wants to surf on the net, chat and do office-stuff I’d without thinking recommend a computer with Ubuntu. For a gamer: Windows.

Former Waratahs assistant Cam Blades coached Horne at Southern Districts in the Shute Shield, at one stage dragging him from a Wallabies training camp to play for Souths in the 2012 semi-final against Manly. He tore his hamstring in that match and was out for the rest of the year.

The 11-inch iPad Pro gets a new virtual keyboard with tab, caps lock, and shift keys that prior 9.7-inch and 10.5-inch users will find too easy to accidentally hit, while the 12.9-inch model keeps its super-wide keyboard. Having used Apple’s 7.9-, 9.7-, 10.5-, and 12.9-inch device keyboards, I think it’s the right time for Apple to offer users a choice between the Apple-designed keyboard layout they want — including a mini-keyboard — as the current software typing experience isn’t always great for the way people are using their iPads.
