Optus to cut more jobs in restructure

Optus has told staff it expects to make further job cuts with another restructure of the business to use IT and network functions from its parent company, Singtel.

As first reported by The Australian Financial Review, the carrier's consumer chief executive Kevin Russell announced the restructure in an email to staff this afternoon.

ZDNet understands that the cut will be substantially lower than the 963 staff cut in the last year, but the company has yet to determine how many roles will go.

The job cuts will come through the "streamlining of IT and network functions to leverage the group scale and drive greater efficiencies," Optus said.

The mobile product and service development division will be moved from marketing to the customer division. There will be a new division headed up by former VividWireless CEO Martin Mercer for fixed business and National Broadband Network (NBN) opportunities, and there will be a dedicated brand and marketing communications group reporting to Russell.

Optus' vice president of corporate and regulatory affairs David Epstein said the change was part of Optus' transformation program started last year.

"These changes will see Optus elevate the prominence of Branded activities, increase focus on building its fixed business in an NBN environment, ensure our marketing decisions are customer led, remove duplication, and streamline technology to improve efficiency of its internal IT systems and networks," Epstein said in a statement.

Russell was questioned last week over whether the telco planned to make more staff cuts, but he would not confirm any intentions at that time.

The company last week reported that in the last three months of 2012, Optus has reported a decline in net profits of 9.2 percent to AU$160 million, down from AU$177 million in the previous quarter.

Blackhawks beat Kings, get point in 15th straight

CHICAGO (AP) ? Brent Seabrook and Jonathan Toews each had a goal and an assist to help the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 on Sunday, extending their season-opening points streak to 15 games.

Patrick Sharp also scored for the Blackhawks (12-0-3), who matched the 1984-85 Edmonton Oilers for the second-longest season-opening points streak in NHL history. Chicago is one away from the league record, set by Anaheim in 2006-07, and will try to match the mark on Tuesday when it hosts Vancouver.

Mike Richards scored two power-play goals in the third period to pull the Kings within one after Chicago had built a 3-0 lead.

Blackhawks backup goalie Ray Emery made 25 saves. He lost a bid for his first shutout in more than three years when Richards connected 56 seconds into the third period.

Emery made back-to-back starts for the first time this season as Corey Crawford missed his second game with an undisclosed upper-body injury.

Sharp, who led Chicago with 33 goals last season, ended a 10-game drought without a score.

The Blackhawks outshot the Kings 37-27, and defeated the defending Stanley Cup champions for the second time this season to end Los Angeles' two-game winning streak. Chicago won 5-2 in the teams' season opener at Staples Center.

Jonathan Quick started in goal for the Kings after backup Jonathan Bernier was in the nets in Los Angeles' previous two games. Quick finished with 34 saves.

Los Angeles played again without three injured defensemen ? Willie Mitchell, Matt Greene and Alec Martinez.

Chicago was a step faster than the Kings in the first period and held a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes.

Seabrook opened the scoring 6:29 in to cap a Chicago flurry in the Kings' zone, and after Quick had made several in-close saves.

Seabrook pinched down to the low edge of the left circle, and took a pinpoint feed from Duncan Keith who threaded a cross-ice pass from the top of the right circle. Seabrook then slid a shot into an open net before Quick could dive across.

Toews' power-play goal 4 minutes later made it 2-0. Stationed in the slot, Toews first tipped Keith's feed off the right post, but buried the loose puck before Quick could cover it.

Sharp exploited a Kings coverage breakdown and increased Chicago's lead to 3-0 just 56 seconds into the second period. Quick dropped to the ice to block Toews' stuff-in attempt at the side of the net, but the puck popped into to slot. Sharp was wide open and fired high into the net before Quick could recover.

The Blackhawks were in control for most of the second period and outshot Los Angeles 21-10. But Emery had to make several tough saves late in the period ? including in-close stops on Dustin Brown and Jeff Carter ? to keep the Kings off the scoreboard.

Richards cut it to 3-1 early in the third. With Brown providing a screen at the edge of the crease, Richards' high shot from the top of the slot sailed past Emery.

Richards' second power-play goal trimmed it to 3-2 with 7:10 left. This time, he beat Emery from the top of the left circle with Brown screening.

The Blackhawks spent the final 1:04 short-handed after Johnny Oduya was sent off for slashing, and Quick was pulled for an extra attacker during span.

NOTES: Before the game, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said Crawford was "progressing" and is day-to-day. When asked if Crawford's condition might be long-term, Quenneville replied, "I don't foresee that yet." Crawford ? who has a 7-0-3 record, 1.65 goal-against average and .935 save percentage ? has not skated since sustaining his injury, apparently in a 3-2 shootout loss to Anaheim last Tuesday. ... Anaheim won the Stanley Cup in 2007 after its record-setting points start. Edmonton, which started the 1984-85 season with points in 15 straight, and Montreal, which opened with 14 straight in 1943-44, also won the Cup in those seasons.

Plumlee, No. 2 Duke beat UNC 73-68

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) ? Mason Plumlee didn't mind much that he was on the bench when No. 2 Duke finally took a lead on North Carolina.

When the Blue Devils' elite big man finally got back on the court, he picked up his scoring pace.

Plumlee scored 10 of his 18 points after returning from a foul-induced break early in the second half, helping Duke beat the Tar Heels 73-68 on Wednesday night in his final home game against the Blue Devils' fierce rivals.

"I want to beat everybody my last game at Cameron" Indoor Stadium, Plumlee said. "I tell myself that every game."

Plumlee also had 11 rebounds, while Quinn Cook scored 18 points and Rasheed Sulaimon finished with 13 for the Blue Devils (22-2, 9-2 Atlantic Coast Conference).

"I think this team has a chance to do something special," Plumlee added. "The season is wide open in the college basketball landscape. I'm not going to have any regrets at the end of the season."

Duke shot 44 percent ? 52 percent after halftime ? and erased a slow start with that timely run and won its sixth straight this season and sixth in eight meetings in college basketball's fiercest rivalry.

P.J. Hairston matched a career high with 23 points and Reggie Bullock had 15 points with four 3-pointers for North Carolina (16-8, 6-5), which led for the first 26 minutes but went on to lose its second straight.

The Tar Heels were 13 of 23 from the free-throw line and missed seven of 10 during a critical late stretch while falling to 1-4 this season against ranked opponents.

"If I knew how to fix the blessed thing, I would have fixed it," coach Roy Williams said of his team's struggles at the line. "The bottom line is, we didn't make free throws today. We're not a good free-throw shooting team in games."

Still, they trailed just 65-61 in the final minute and appeared to have gotten a stop by forcing Duke's Tyler Thornton to miss a long 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down. But Bullock fouled Sulaimon on the rebound, and the freshman hit both free throws with 37.5 seconds left.

Hairston hit a free throw on North Carolina's next possession to cut it to 67-62, but Plumlee countered with two free throws with 30.3 seconds left to make it a three-possession game.

Seth Curry scored 11 points in his sixth straight double-figure performance against North Carolina.

The win was a nice present for Mike Krzyzewski, who was celebrating his 66th birthday.

And an unorthodox move ? putting one of the best big men in the nation on the bench, however briefly ? wound up putting Duke ahead for the first time in this one.

Plumlee picked up his third foul 31 seconds into the second half and uncorked an untimely 20-foot jumper a few minutes later, prompting Krzyzewski to burn a timeout. He went to a smaller lineup, sitting Plumlee in favor of two power forwards, Amile Jefferson and Josh Hairston.

"I thought he was playing like he had three fouls," Krzyzewski said. UNC's James Michael "McAdoo was just going at him so that McAdoo was either going to score, or Mason was going to foul him."

The move freed up some space for the Duke guards and immediately led to six quick points to start the 19-7 run that put the Blue Devils ahead to stay.

Duke outscored North Carolina 11-3 during the 4-minute stretch with Plumlee on the bench and took their first lead when Curry swished a 3 from in front of the bench to make it 42-41 with 14 minutes left.

Thornton ? who had missed 12 of 14 3-pointers during his previous eight games ? hit two from the same spot in the right corner, capping the spurt with his second that made it 50-45 with 12? minutes to go.

Curry eventually stretched the lead to 59-51 with another 3 with 5 minutes left

The whopper of a storm didn't rank high in history

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Federal statistics show the snowstorm that walloped the Northeast with more than 3 feet in some places didn't add up to being that bad.

Two National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration storm-rating measurements initially ranked Friday's snowstorm as 16th in Northeast history by one scale and 25th by another.

The two storm measurement systems are similar in scale to the ones that measure hurricanes and tornadoes. They rank the weekend storm as a 3 and "major" on a 1 to 5 scale. It didn't rate a "crippling" 4 or "extreme" 5.

National Climatic Data Center meteorologist Mike Squires says the storm didn't rank very high because only a small area of about 190 square miles had more than 30 inches of snow.
