FLOYDS KNOBS — During the second half of the 2013 season, no volleyball team in the state has been hotter than Class 4A No. 6 Floyd Central.
On Saturday night at Highlander Gymnasium, the Highlanders' red-hot play produced a sectional championship.
Floyd Central extended its winning streak to 16 matches with a 25-14, 25-10, 25-18 victory over Jennings County in the Class 4A Floyd Central Sectional final. The Highlanders (28-8) will host Castle in the Class 4A regional on Tuesday night. The Knights defeated Evansville Reitz in Saturday's Evansville Harrison Sectional title match, 25-9, 25-9, 25-16.
"They've won 16 matches in a row now and they are playing with ultra-confidence," Floyd Central coach Bart Powell said of his team. "Sometimes we do play to the level of our competition, but [the Highlanders] are really playing with a lot of confidence right now."
Powell thought winning Saturday's sectional championship was redemption for a few of the veteran Highlanders who played in the program's heartbreaking five-set loss to Seymour in the 2011 Class 4A New Albany Sectional final.
"Three of them were on that sectional team that had match point three times two years ago, and that was brutal," he said.
The Floyd Central frontline player who played a key role for the Highlanders on Saturday was middle hitter Gwyn Jones. The sophomore ended up with a match-high 14 kills along with three blocks. Jones was a force at the net during Floyd Central's 16-1 start to the second set. She had seven kills during that stretch.
Jones was very active throughout the sectional because she has recovered from a torn ligament in her thumb, which she suffered earlier in the season.
"This match meant so much to our school," Jones said. "We haven't been here in a while. I really wanted to get the win and nothing was going to stop us. I think honestly our program needed this. We needed a confidence boost. All year, we've preached about believing in ourselves and not playing down a level. Tonight, we really showed what we're made of."
Another Highlander who was highly productive during that 16-1 spurt was Brooke Hinton. The senior libero served the final 13 points of that run, which included all of her match-high five service aces.
"I think they kind of got down at that point and they were having trouble passing the ball," Hinton said. "It's hard to get out of a stretch like that. We were just on a roll."
Floyd Central senior middle hitter Sydney Engle ended up with 11 kills, while junior setter Remi Bowman chipped in eight. Teammate Mikaila Humphrey recorded six kills.
Despite the Highlanders trailing 6-1 at the match's outset, Powell was much happier with his team's focus against the Panthers than he was in Saturday's first semifinal versus New Albany. Against the Bulldogs, Floyd Central fell behind in the opening stages of both the first and second sets, but still prevailed 25-18, 25-17, 25-15.
"They were better than they were this morning — without question," Powell said about his troops. "They were pretty confident obviously having beaten [Jennings County] twice, and then we played a little overconfident, especially in Game 1 when we got down 6-1. Then we got relaxed and started playing pretty well. At times, we played our best game of the sectional."
It was the Highlanders' 16th sectional title and their ninth in the class-sports era.
Engle led the Highlanders with a match-high 15 kills and three blocks in their third victory over the Bulldogs this season. Jones and teammates Lauren Koopman and Tierney Flaherty each spiked six kills, while Bowman had four aces.
Powell knew the archrival Bulldogs (15-19) would give his team a battle after they upset Bedford North Lawrence in four sets in Thursday's first round. New Albany held a 9-6 lead in the first game and had a 9-4 advantage in the second.
Plus Powell thought his team experienced a letdown after knocking off No. 7 Seymour in an exciting five-set sectional opener on Thursday.
"I think coming off an emotional win on Thursday was not good for us," he said. "I could tell that we weren't into the match. We had beaten New Albany twice and we had taken them for granted. If New Albany can upset Bedford North Lawrence, then they can upset Floyd Central."
New Albany junior middle blocker Alexis Lete made 12 kills, while Bulldog junior setter Lindsay Harper dished out 17 assists. New Albany's Madison Dibble and Brook McCoy had 14 and 12 digs, respectively. The Bulldogs said goodbye to two seniors in Kelsey Guess and Olivia Balmer.
"I thought our kids played very well against some very good competition," New Albany coach John Breeding said. "We gave ourselves chances to win and opportunities to win. This Floyd Central team is a really good volleyball team, so they are going to make their runs, too.
"I'm as proud of these girls today as any team that I've ever coached. They never gave up. They could've just folded the tent. They ran after balls, they dove on the floor, they tried as hard as they could and that's all you can ask."
The Red Devils' season came to an end in the second semi, falling to Jennings County 25-11, 27-25, 25-21.
Junior Brooklyn Garrison was Jeff's top hitter with nine kills to go along with nine digs. Red Devil sophomore middle hitter Hailey Lacy had five kills and three blocks, while teammate Mary Pat Geary made five kills and two blocks.
Also for Jeff, senior setter Jena Reinhardt had 18 assists and 11 digs, sophomore libero Bayley Whitlow made 22 digs and sophomore outside hitter McKenna Woodard had 11 digs.
The Red Devils (9-24) led for the majority of both the second and third sets, but could not finish the Panthers off in either game. The Red Devils were up 22-19 in Set 2 before Jennings went on an 8-3 run to win the game. The Devils took an 8-3 lead early in the third set and had an 18-16 advantage prior to the Panthers outscoring them 9-3 the rest of the way.
"That's what we've struggled with all year," Red Devil coach Renee Stock said about her team's inability to close out sets on top. "We started off the season with the motto of pushing through a game because that's one of their weaknesses. When [the Red Devils] get ahead, they think they've done a good enough job. We haven't been able to overcome that.
"[The Devils] have gotten better on offense and defense. They communicate better. They work hard. They just don't have that fight to get over that hump. I was very proud of them for not giving up after that first set. In the second and third games, they came out with a different attitude."
Jeff dressed only two seniors on Saturday in Reinhardt and outside hitter Rachel Williams, who did not play because of an injury.

@ US$ 25 (Component + Extension + ODude Index Template)
when you are coming with index for joomla 1.6?
We are very busy giving support for Joomla 1.5. If we create it for Joomla 1.6 or 1.7 we afraid for lack of support.
Anyway we are trying increase a number of support staff.
Would it be possible to connect "JomComment" component to your program in order to do this. Being able to share an experience, make a recommendation, or an evaluation of an entry would be fantastic.
Mail me at navneet@lovelyn epal.com for all private correspondence.
We can do it as you want and this component is just for it.
mail me in detail what sort of categories you want and types of filed you want into listings. If its inside component we will setup in FREE of cost.
Quoting Pete Perkins:
Just purchased "Index" via PayPal under name Richard Perkins. Would like to know if you can install this component and set up initial configuration on our website and if any extra fee would be involved for doing so. We would probably only want to set up the Business Directory and Web Link Index. We would be able to then set up our own categories, etc, for each.
We will provide all admin access info once you inform us of install opportunity.

It's Time to Say Thanks—to Your Boss
Employees often forget that feedback works both ways.
When was the last time you thanked your boss?
You may think your boss should be thanking you! After all, aren't you the one who puts up with the long hours, low pay, conflicting demands, confusing instructions, harassment, insecurity, and lack of recognition?
Even if not, even if you like your job, times are troubled. You may feel safer at work keeping as low a profile as possible.
So is it a good idea, especially now, to remind your boss of your existence with something as banal as a "thank you"?
Yup. It is a good idea. After all, don't you appreciate it when you get a pat on the back? You even expect it, actually, because part of a boss's job is to give feedback.
Well, feedback works both ways. Think of the lovely warm fuzzy feelings you have toward people who say nice things about your work. Now think how great it would be if your boss was having those same warm fuzzy feelings about little old you!
Maybe your boss is a mean SOB who hasn't smiled since the Reagan administration. More likely, though, he/she is a decent sort doing good work under difficult circumstances.
Either way, no matter how bad or good your boss, your relationship (not to mention your job security) can be improved with a simple, sincere, professional, nonsycophantic thank you.
In this season of thanksgiving, think about giving thanks to your boss.

In your pocket: Congressional committee seeks 50% fuel tax hike.
Congress daily proves that "we, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, that we are now capable of doing anything with nothing."
Well, months ago when fuel prices hit historic highs, Congress was outraged at the profits that Gasoline companies were making. Some touted though, that the increase meant less emissions, and the ridiculously high fuel prices were "environmentally friendly", and therefore, inherently good.
Now that fuel prices have moderated, we still aren't driving as many miles, but now its, "damn the environment, the tax revenues aren't high enough." Soooo...
Motorists' habits spur call for tax increase
WASHINGTON – Motorists are driving less and buying less gasoline, which means fuel taxes aren't raising enough money to keep pace with the cost of road, bridge and transit programs.
A federal commission created by Congress to find a way to make up the growing revenue shortfall in the program that funds highway repairs and construction is talking about increasing federal gas and diesel taxes.
A roughly 50 percent increase in gasoline and diesel fuel taxes is being urged by the commission until the government devises another way for motorists to pay for using public roads.
The 15-member National Commission on Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing is the second group in a year to call for increasing the current 18.4 cents a gallon federal tax on gasoline and the 24.4 cents a gallon tax on diesel. State fuel taxes vary from state to state.
In a report expected in late January, members of the infrastructure financing commission say they will urge Congress to raise the gas tax by 10 cents a gallon and the diesel tax by about 12 cents to 15 cents a gallon. At the same time, the commission will recommend tying the fuel tax rates to inflation.
The commission will also recommend that states raise their fuel taxes and make greater use of toll roads and fees for rush-hour driving.
Although the cost of gasoline has dropped dramatically in recent months, such tax increases could be politically treacherous for Democratic leaders in Congress. A gas tax hike was one of the reasons they lost control of the House and Senate in the 1994 elections. President-elect Barack Obama has expressed concern about raising fuel taxes in the current economic climate.
But commission members said the government must find more road and bridge building money somewhere.
"I'm not excited about a gas tax increase, but the reality is our current gas tax doesn't pay for upkeep of the system we have now," said Adrian Moore, vice president of the Reason Foundation, a libertarian think tank in Los Angeles, and a member of the highway revenue commission. "We can either let the roads go to hell or we can pay more."
The dilemma for Congress is that highway and transit programs are dependent for revenue on fuel taxes that are not sustainable. Many Americans are driving less and switching to more fuel-efficient cars and trucks, and a shift to new fuels and technologies like plug-in hybrid electric cars will further erode gasoline sales.
According to a draft of the financing commission's recommendations, the nation needs to move to a new system that taxes motorists according to how much they use roads. While details have not been worked out, such a system would mean equipping every car and truck with a device that uses global positioning satellites and transponders to record how many miles the vehicle has been driven, and perhaps the type of roads and time of day.
"Most if not all of the commissioners have a strong belief and commitment that we need a fundamental transformation of the current system," said commission chairman Robert Atkinson, president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a technology policy think tank in Washington.
A study by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies estimated that the annual gap between revenues and the investment needed to improve highway and transit systems was about $105 billion in 2007, and will increase to $134 billion in 2017 under current trends.
Projected shortfalls in revenue led the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission, in a report issued in January 2008, to call for an increase of as much as 40 cents a gallon in the gas tax, phased in over five years.
Charles Whittington, chairman of the American Trucking Associations, which supports a fuel tax increase as long as the money goes to highway projects, said Congress may decide to disguise a fuel tax hike as a surcharge to combat climate change.
Transportation is responsible for about a third of all U.S. carbon emissions created by burning fossil fuels. Traffic congestion wastes an estimated 2.9 billion gallons of fuel a year. Less congestion would reduce greenhouse gases and dependence on foreign oil.
"Instead of calling it a gas tax, call it a carbon tax," Whittington said.
Bottlenecks around the nation cost the trucking industry about 243 million lost truck hours and about $7.8 billion per year, according to the commission.
"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money."

Yeah I always loved how people bitched about the 5% profit built into fuel prices but said nothing about the 18% tax.

Soooo...when the price of gas was $4.00 and up they said drive less to save gas and money. Now they say we are not driving enough to be taxed so we can pay for things? What happened to the higher taxes we paid when gas was over $4.00 a gallon, didnt each gallon generate a higher tax revenue due to 5% of $4.00 is more than %5 of $1.79?

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Gov. Bill Haslam has signed a measure to change the way the state considers injured workers' claims.
The Republican governor held a ceremonial signing at a foundry in Clarksville on Tuesday.
A major feature of the measure is that it removes workers' compensation cases from the state's trial courts and instead creates special panels appointed by the governor to hear claims and appeals.
The legislation passed the Senate 28-2, and the House approved it 68-24.

---- — James Vosolo, the Danvers-based child entertainer accused of sexually accosting a truck driver inside a Rowley rest stop off Interstate 95 while wearing only a thong last September, is due back in court next month for what may be a plea deal, according to an Essex County district attorney spokeswoman.
Carrie Kimball Monahan said yesterday that a disposition hearing has been scheduled for April 26 at Newburyport District Court, meaning that the case against Vosolo will be resolved short of trial.
"We cannot say for sure because the defendant has the right to change his plea (or not) at any time," Kimball Monahan said.
In September, Vosolo was charged with lewd and lascivious behavior and indecent assault and battery of a person over 14. Vosolo, who had worked at Total Entertainment of Danvers for 15 years, was originally charged with indecent exposure, assault and battery, failure to stop for police, a marked lanes violation, and disorderly conduct.
The new charges were added as a result of information obtained by the state police that Vosolo allegedly grabbed the victim between the legs twice. Prosecutors believe that Vosolo was acting out a sexual fantasy and may have been under the influence of crack cocaine at the time of the alleged incident.
If convicted of the most serious felony, indecent assault and battery of a person over 14, Vosolo could serve up to five years in state prison. He would also be subject to lifetime probation and would have to register as a sex offender.
During his first full court appearance last year, Vosolo's court-appointed attorney described him as a hardworking, divorced father who had been gainfully employed for decades. Raised in Boston and a graduate of Malden Catholic High School, Vosolo lived in Chelsea before moving to Danvers in 2003.
According to state police, Vosolo surprised the truck driver, hopping onto the fuel tank of his truck and peering into his cab. The truck driver then exited the cab to confront Vosolo, who allegedly asked him several times if he could enter his truck so they could have sex. A state police official said the truck driver called police after feigning interest and suggesting they meet up at the Seabrook, N.H., rest stop.
Trooper Michael Caranfa responded to the call and attempted to pull Vosolo over. Vosolo allegedly proceeded to throw items, which he later told police were "a glass pipe and a little bit of crack" cocaine, out of his white Chevy Caprice, hitting Caranfa's windshield before stopping alongside the highway in Salisbury.
Vosolo was wearing only thong underwear when he was ordered out of his car at gunpoint. A search of Vosolo's vehicle resulted in the seizure of several sex toys, Halloween masks and head lamps, according to state police.
At the Newbury barracks, Vosolo indicated several times that he was just trying to satisfy a sexual fantasy. According to state police, Vosolo has no previous convictions. But in 1988, he admitted to sufficient facts that he had been driving drunk.
On Vosolo's LinkedIn profile, he lists himself as an event manager for Total Entertainment. The company terminated him after he was arrested. Over the years, Vosolo has attended numerous functions across the state dressing up as Uncle Sam, Elvis Presley and other characters.

The Herald-Tribune
-- — Hillenbrand Inc. reported a worldwide revenue of $231.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, a 9 percent ($19.2 million) increase over the prior year, reported communications manager Shari Morey,
The company's fastest-growing business platform, the Process Equipment Group, increased revenue 32 percent ($18.4 million) to $76.4 million or 25 percent ($14.3 million) on a constant currency basis.
Excluding the impact of the Aug. 31, 2011, acquisition of Rotex, revenue grew 17 percent. The acquisition also contributed to a 26 percent increase in the Process Equipment Group's order backlog compared to the third quarter.
The Batesville business platform reported fourth-quarter revenue of $154.8 million, slightly above prior-year revenue of $154 million.
Increased commodity costs in the Batesville business, primarily fuel and steel, along with inventory step-up charges related to the Rotex acquisition, led to a consolidated gross profit margin of 39.2 percent, compared to 41.8 percent in the prior year. Without the step-up charges, adjusted gross profit margin was 40.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Net income increased 17 percent over the prior year to $23.5 million, with EPS growing 19 percent to $0.38. In the same period, EBITDA increased 8 percent to $44.6 million. The year-over-year increases were higher on an adjusted basis, with net income up 19 percent to $29.2 million, EPS up 20 percent to $0.48 and EBITDA up 11 percent to $52.5 million. Cash flow from operations was $33 million higher than the prior year, largely due to the timing of tax payments.
The annual revenue summary for 2011 increased 18 percent ($134.2 million) over the prior year to $883.4 million, 16 percent on a constant currency basis. Gross profit margin was 41.9 percent compared to 41.8 percent in the prior year. Without the impact of inventory step-up charges, the adjusted gross profit margin was 42.2 percent in 2011 and 43.4 percent in the prior year.
Net income of $106.1 million ($1.71 per share) grew 15 percent compared to the prior year, and adjusted net income of $113.8 million ($1.84 per share) was 2 percent higher. At $197.5 million, EBITDA increased 19 percent ($31.7 million) over the prior year and 9 percent ($17.2 million) on an adjusted basis. Collection of the Forethought Note in 2011 was a primary driver in the $71.3 million year-over-year increase in cash flow from operations.
"The company posted very solid fourth-quarter results fueled by effective execution of our growth strategy, which focuses on making the right investments in our business platforms to drive profitability and shareholder value," said Kenneth Camp, HI president and chief executive officer.
"Batesville continues to generate strong and consistent cash flow, while the Process Equipment Group has embarked on a global growth initiative that is opening up new geographies for its brands, including newly acquired Rotex. I'm pleased with the company's accomplishments during the past year and look forward to building on those successes in 2012."

And should win everything.
That's all.
And should win everything.
That's all.
Yes I totally agree. I think the judges at CoC were "punishing" him for bombing last season, I thought his scores should have been higher. The fact that Mrozzz beat him in the FS made me a little ticked off, Tomas is so clearly superior IMO.
Hope he kicks but this season and show the judges Verner is back and ready to dominate.
My favorite Euro male skater by a large margin. Hope he gets his confidence back (and work on that lip!)
I hope he gets his mojo back this season!
He is Tomas for the podium!
Tomas! My biggest wish for a Worlds medal this season is for him. Love his new "Singin in the Rain" SP.
"it doesn't matter if you love what you do, but that you do what you love"
a quote Tomas Verner () gave me to think about...
I just adore the title of this thread
Yes, Tomas is awesome and I hope him doing well in China means he's getting back on track and he'll be ready for some some European and World medals!!! He's cute, charming and irresistable I would really love him to stay until Sochi and give Olympic Games one more shot.
Woohoo Tomas!
On a superficial note... I kind of wish he could have two different haircuts for the two programs (the shaggy hair works for Michael Jackson but not Singing In The Rain).
With Tomas the most important thing is stamina. He already has enough of everything else.
I love Tomas! He didn't seem very inspired last year in his performances (maybe he was a bit discouraged about some of his competition marks -- I certainly think he should have medaled at Worlds by now -- or maybe he was coming back last year from injury). To get over the hump, perhaps Tomas needs to work on his consistency and his confidence? He's landed beautiful quads before, but again, as I've said, the quad takes away a lot of energy from skaters and their overall development, IMO (in the training of it, and in the performing of it, both mentally and physically). I also think the demands of the new scoring system with the need to point-grab by chocking programs full of frenetic moves is a detriment to skaters attempting to develop a consistent quad.
In any case, I think Tomas, and his former training partner, Carolina, are both quite brilliant. It would be very sad if they don't fully realize their unique potential as skaters.
Tomas seems to enjoy both of his programs this year. His charm and the joy and quirky fun he expresses, brings the audience in.
ITA re Mroz!!! placed in front of Tomas???!!! To me Mroz is a talented skater, but he's not very interesting or charming, nor does he have any exciting quality or uniqueness to his skating.

I haven't seen Verner's CoC performances yet and I wonder if I'll get over my irrational dislike of him after I see them. ;P
I hope he's happy in Canada and getting on with the new coach. It was sad to see him bombing to that extent last season.
Abbott and Verner -- interesting comparison. I think they each have a unique style and completely different personalities. Abbott seems to perform more within himself, while Verner is more of an extrovert who plays to the audience. Great skating skills for both -- perhaps Abbott is a bit more attuned to music (on manleywoman's podcast, Abbott's mother was interviewed and she said that Jeremy often picks and cuts his own music). Taking into consideration that there will be others competing with them in the field, and that its hard to know what judges will do, both Jeremy and Tomas have to skate to their abilities. If Abbott is landing quads and Verner is focused on going clean, then I think obviously Abbott is ahead. In any case, Abbott's lp is a bit more intricate and deep. I do think Verner has more of a crowd-pleasing personality, but overall it's the level you reach on the ice and putting it all together, not how much the audience likes you (can't forget the politics too, because Mroz placed in front of Verner seems more than a bit ominous, but Verner should keep working hard and reaching his goals and not get down about arbitrary judges' decisions when he knows how well he's performed).

"it doesn't matter if you love what you do, but that you do what you love"
a quote Tomas Verner () gave me to think about...
Well, I guess a lot of skaters have some input in music choices, especially as they gain experience and develop as seniors. It's something else to cut your own music -- I think that takes some knowledge of music, which I think Jeremy has, plus he was also an ice dancer early in his skating career. Does Tomas cut his music too? Whoever chose that jazz piece from a couple of seasons ago, for Tomas, ... that was a great choice, program, and performance. I think that perhaps Tomas' freewheeling, carefree way of skating somehow belies his intensity and desire.
-At NHK Jeremy got very similar TES scores (67.15) to Tomas in CoC (68.94).
-Both are using lutz temporarily as a placeholder for the quad.
-Jeremy doesn't really have any weaknesses technically and is more likely to milk PCS with difficult transitions. Tomas needs to work on his spins, but has more exciting footwork and jumps.
-Jeremy's Life is Beautiful program already looks like a finished product. Tomas' MJ is a little sloppy but will probably come together as the season continues.
-Jeremy is more of an early season skater, Tomas a late season skater.
I would predict that Jeremy would beat Tomas in Russia if he skates clean because he's better prepared at this point, but by the end of the season (assuming both are healthy) Tomas will up his game.
I think people underestimate Tomas as an artist because he's getting the reputation of being a crowdpleaser. He's like a Candeloro but with strong skating skills and dancer-like qualities. Back-to-back with Mroz you can see how Tomas really uses his shoulders and arms, but it's so natural that it's easy to take for granted.

Jeff Bercovici, Forbes Staff
I cover technology with an emphasis on social and digital media.
Sarah Palin is no fan of the "lamestream media" — except when she's using it to serve her ends. Is she using Newsweek to get free personal training? And, if so, is that entirely legal?
The former Alaska governor appears on the cover of the new issue of Newsweek wearing a gray sweatshirt with a logo on it reading "Edge Fitness." That's the name of a gym in Palin's hometown of Wasilla. Edge Fitness was featured last November in an episode of her TLC show "Sarah Palin's Alaska," and it also received a plug on a Facebook page Palin apparently created under an alias and used for posting pseudonymous comments.
A Newsweek spokesman says Palin selected her own clothing for the photo shoot; there was no stylist present. It could be that Palin is simply such a big fan of Edge's services, she can't resist proselytizing for them. But Palin is known for aggressive monetization of her personal brand and a taste for the material perquisites of Hollywood-style fame. It seems probable, therefore, that she's getting something for her enthusiastic endorsements — perhaps free personal training? I've emailed Palin, directly and via her SarahPAC, but haven't heard back. I also haven't heard back from Edge Fitness.
Palin's lack of respect for most journalists extends to a disregard for traditional journalistic norms. When she appeared on the cover of Time last December, she insisted on being interviewed solely by email. She has been known to seek payment from magazines in exchange for her participation in stories.
The American Society of Magazine Editors has rules governing paid product placement and other forms of advertising in editorial content, particularly on covers. "The cover and spine should not be used to advertise products other than the magazine itself," advises ASME. But those rules apply to advertising that financially benefits the magazine.
Product placement falls under the jurisdiction of the Federal Trade Commission, which, in 2009, issued guidelines requiring that any endorsement involving a "material connection" between sponsor and endorser be disclosed to the public. In determining what sort of disclosure is required, the FTC takes into account consumers' expectations. For instance, because well-informed consumers understand shoe companies send professional athletes free sneakers, a jock who appears on TV wearing Nikes or tweets about his new Adidas doesn't necessarily have to disclose anything.
Palin would seem to fall into a gray area. She's certainly a celebrity, but she's also a politician. People might assume that Sarah Palin the Reality TV Star is getting free stuff in exchange for promotion. But would they assume that of Sarah Palin the Presidential Candidate?
Wow…unemployment is at 9.2%, the debt is 14 trillion, Obama just told us all to "eat our peas", there is no recovery in sight, and this is the topic this writer chooses?? This is Forbes…right? Talk about Palin derangement syndrome. It would be funny, if it wasn't so pathetic.
How about a little proof of your accusations. That Wonkette story about a second FB page was bogus.
What proof do you have that Palin has ever asked for payment to participate in a story?
Palin's lack of respect for many journalists is due to the fact that they have lied about her. You probably need to be included in that group.
BTW, just because you link to another article, it doesn't mean that article is truthful.
This article is so much crap. I've been a long time subscriber to Forbes; I'm now rethinking my upcoming subscription renewal.
Not only do I agree with the first 3 comments, but I'll add to them.
Is it legal? You mean, a private citizen, being interviewed and photographed by a private business, wearing clothes promoting another private business?
How about I answer your question with a question?
Are you a moron, Jeff?
She does indeed have the legal right to wear something promoting a business, and if that business wishes to reward her for that, then that's ok, too.
Or are you also upset about Nike and Michael Jordan?
You are going to be really embarrassed after the release of the movie The Undefeated.
Really? This is Forbes? When did Forbes make it a crime to make money and whose business it it of yours what Sarah Palin chooses to wear.
Fact, she did choose her clothes but she did not choose the cover. If you did your research you will find numerous photos taken during the cover shoot. Newsweek could have chosen the one in which she has no logo on her shirt. Palin didn't pick the cover.
Also, she can do anything she wants to do since she is not a candidate. When she becomes a candidate, then she will have rules to follow. Until then, she is free as a bird.
I can't believe that you have a college degree, we have a debt ceiling issue, unemployment issue, fight over raising taxes and you focus on what Palin is wearing. Very, very sad, you should get your money back on your college education.
Me thinks that you are just picking on Governor Palin to draw traffic to your post. Your argument is lame.
Too bad you're not a real journalist. A real journalist would have done some research and learned that Governor Palin wore two outfits for the photo shoot. The other outfit did not have a logo. Newsweek chose the cover photo so it's their fault there is a logo displayed on their cover!
Are you paid for this tripe? By a once respected magazine? Maybe there should be an investigation into criminal stupidity in the Forbes organization.
Palin doesn't need to be our president. The salary isn't enough for her and she'd just abandon the post like she did in Alaska. Do you want someone in office whose main focus isn't on the people but on her bank account? What Sarah's after is fame and fortune and everything that goes. See the ways she sells herself at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/06/ecstasy-of-sarah-palin_15.html I bet she even got a nice check for wearing that logo on her chest for this shoot.
You'll bet what? Do you make up stories to post on the internet or are you just another confused Palin hating Liberal who thinks Tina Fey is her doppelganger?
Let me guess, 9/11 Truther huh?
Her main focus isn't on the people? Really, did you interview her and ask her if it was? How big is your bank account?
Oh it's YOU AGAIN!
Pimping your awful cartoon art that you couldn't unload at Comicon if Jesus Christ the Righteous came down and hawked your commissions for you.
But I'm sure you're a nice guy, just the same.
This is a stupid accusation on its face. What good does it do to promote a little gym in a small Alaska town in a national magazine? Does the writer expect that people from around the country will fly to Wasilla so they can go to Sarah's gym? Now if she was posing for a photo in her local Wasilla paper, it would still be a stretch.
Face it, if Sarah poses for a picture she is going to be wearing something and that something will be made by someone who is in business to make a buck. It's probably the making of a buck that you are opposed to. Shall we create a new rule that Sarah Palin can only appear in public in plain generic attire unidentifiable as to its maker?
Could it be that she wanted to present a casual photo that suggests she is about to begin a run?
Larger ambitions? Larger ambitions in Hollywood or NY? This is why you guys just do not get Sarah Palin and the rest of us at all. We don't think what you do and where you do it is necessarily "larger ambition", infact we think you, like this article are quite small.
Larger ambitions…that's too damn funny.
Now you are smearing a small business, for "maybe" wanting to expand???
You are a conservative woman HATER…
This comment is foolish. Why pretend to know someone that you don't? It's silly gossip. Most grow out of that in the seventh grade but I see you can still land a job at Forbes.
Did Sarah Palin use 'Newsweek' to demonstrate that she is still super-model pretty at age 47? If so, she succeeded in spectacular fashion.
Use Newsweek? Does Governor Palin own Newsweek? She would have to so she could "use" it, right?
Let us know when your super model pictorial comes out, okay?
And yes, she apparently is super model pretty at 47. Jealousy is the green eyed monster.
I expect the reporting of facts from Forbes, not gossip. I guess that National Enquirer gig didn't work out for poor Jeff.
"She has been known to seek payment from magazines in exchange for her participation in stories" Really Jeff? Pray tell where did you make up, uh I mean read that? Do you still beat your Wife?
Just asking. I could have sworn I heard that someplace.
I'll be waiting for your in depth article on the Kardashians…
BTW – Does Kobe get paid to wear Tennis Shoes? Do you hate him for it? If so, you must be a Bigot. If not, you must be a hypocrite. No surprise, all Liberals are.
Mr. Bercovici,
Of all of the bizarre, incomprehensible, and money driven things that the former governor of Alaska has done, this is hardly half way up the list. Her resignation half way through her first and only term in state-wide elected office ranks far higher (her resignation from her appointed state-wide position Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission is high up there too).
What I want to know is, what does she think she can win? She is not running for anything.
Good Grief! What a pathetic excuse for journalism. If you have an axe to grind about Palin do it on a personal blog. Stop bringing disrepute to Forbes.
Is it any wonder she had little respect for 'journalists'.
Jeff, I'm going to proceed from the assumption that you did not come up with this meme on your own, and got this billingsgate from one of the D.C. hothouses like Media Matters or John Podesta's shop over at CAP.
It's just too dumb a meme for a good writer to be flogging on Forbes' blog. You're better than this garbage, and you know it.
This is the kind of thing that they come up with when they do a conference call at Palingates when they realize that the Trig Conspiracy has finally run out of gas.
Really, Jeff? Please don't tell me you are flogging memes from Kos or Palingates Troll Town that Palin is doing product placement for the Thomas the Tank Engine Gym in Wasilla.
It's just an insulting thing for you to be peddling to your readers. It insults our intelligence, and it's an insult to your talents.
You people on the Left, having failed in your efforts at painting Palin as stupid, tried to paint Palin as a criminal. Then the email dump came out. When THAT failed, you now are falling back on tropes like "profit through product placement". Now we're back to a variation of Palin is a criminal: Palin is a "greedhead". Jesus.
Meantime, Chicago Jesus is driving the country towards Beachy Head at 90 miles an hour.
Really, who the f**k comes up with this sh*t in the White House Political Office, anyway, because when reasonable Democrats find out, they need to horsewhip the sumbi*ch.
Is she running for the Republican nomination? Has she indicated interest? Has she filed the necessary papers. No, possibly (but could be playing the media like the drooling fools they are), and no. So, why this article? She is a private citizen. She does not hold any government office or position in which she is paid by taxpayers. So, what is the big deal about her photo? And it's been said that Newsweek chose the photo, not her. What about the designers that send Michelle Obama their clothes to wear in various events; why hasn't that been scrutinized, beside the obivous that she is a Democrat and married to the President, who can't do anything wrong in the media's adoring eyes.
This is just the typical we-can't-report-on-what's-really-going-on-because-it-might-make-the-President-look-bad-and-our-job-is-to-prop-him-up-so-let's-write-an-useless-article-on-what-we-think-private-citizen-Palin-might-or-might-not-be-doing meme.
Palin really lives in your mind rent free and it's hilarious to see.
You know, there was once a time I thought Forbes was a serious publication…
Wow, I'm shocked by this backlash. With 10+ year's in the publishing industry (including a short stint with Forbes) I've always enjoyed Jeff's thought provoking insights regarding the industry. I find you to be a more credible and less salacious Keith Kelly.
I don't think the point was to Palin Bash (although, what fun it is and yes, it drives traffic to a story) but questions if brands should be represented on magazine covers and implied as an endorsement – Newsweek, not Palin, should be held accountable to ASME rules and regulations.
Jeff- I bet right now thousands of men and women are flying off to far away Alaska for a trial membership at that club! Thank God we have a genius like you, who worked at AOL even, to discern that this woman just didn't happen to pick out something rough to wear on a dock in rural Alaska. No, she can't outfox you. Boy the nerve of that woman not having respect for the media, and she even had the bad taste to wear a Steve Forbes for President button when she was mayor of Wasilla….
Jeff… you lousy piece of cow poo. What a bunch of lies and outright smears. You repeat lies told by Palin haters (without pointing out that they were proven false) and then gin up this crap about product placement?
Did you ever friggin think that since this is where she always works out that maybe she wears some of their clothing? Personally, I think it is even nicer of her… that she likes the people who run the place and since she has promoted hundreds of small private businesses in Alaska before – FOR FREE – she just might be doing it again.
Of course, in your world of scum suckers and bottom feeders, it is all about corruption and payola and butt kissing so maybe that is beyond your comprehension.
I notice other people call you a dick…. I won't give you even that as I think you are a little pussie…. a smelly, skanky, stinkie, fishy-smelling pussie.
P.S. I thought Forbes used to be a well respected business publication…. unfortunately, it now seems to have been taken over by liberal butt lickers and left wing jerk offs.
I'm not sure if or how bloggers like Bercovici are compensated, but I doubt it's in real money. It's not like Steve Forbes to throw his money away.
Gosh! I just binged an image of Rudy Giuliani wearing a Yankee baseball cap.
Maybe you should try to launch an investigation against him, no?
And didn't Romney publicly cheer on the Boston Bruins during the Stanley Cup playoffs! A commercial endorsement, don't you think?
WOW, Forbes doesn't have anything better to do than write this kind of crap??? Let me guess, you got your talking pts from Media Matters???
Another male hater.
I think we're all forgetting something, especially Mr. Bercovici. The One Himself wears lots of logos when he's photgraphed or filmed playing golf. Send in the Product Placement police!
This is the kind of crap that forced Sarah to resign to save the state a fortune in harasssment legal fees. I used to think forbes was at least a middle of the road or even conservative publication and would expect something better than the enquirer. But I forgot, Wall Street has bought and paid for this president-for-sale and they therefore must write stupid sh-t like this.

Comments On Jul 03, 2014:Mounted this on my KLR 650. Exterior quality and design appear sound. However, like Anne's review, mine stopped working shortly after installation (linked up to a Eastern Beaver PC-8 power bus with the appropriately rated fuse). I haven't opened the device to diagnose the problem, but I suspect it may be due to vibrations from some of the rough riding I've done on the KLR.

Comments On Jun 19, 2013:Despite the sturdy look, and nicely finished exterior (it must be really waterproof), it broke down after 100 miles. Ok, the XT 350 puts quite some strain (vibration) on the device but this should be anticipated. What actually happened, is that a heavy component (inductor) on the PCB was not fixed properly. There was very little silicon applied to keep it in place. I will ask for a replacement and will properly pot it with epoxy myself. I still like the mechanical design, that's why I gave it 2 stars.

State Senate Panel Considers Election Reforms
January 14, 2013 | WMFE - The Florida Senate takes up election reform today with ten county elections supervisors testifying in Tallahassee. The supervisors say they want more flexibility to accommodate the growing number of voters who choose to cast their ballots before Election Day.
Lawmakers reduced the number of early voting days from 14 to eight as part of a controversial bill passed in 2011.
Now Senator Jack Latvala, a Republican from Pinellas County, chairs the Senate panel.
He says all options are on the table.
"Going back to the old way of early voting that we've done for the last ten years is one of the options." Latvala says. "I've even had people suggest that perhaps we should open all the precincts for early voting."
Another suggestion from the county supervisors is to limit the length of ballot initiatives, which in some counties took up to 40 minutes for voters to read.

Dave Thier, Contributor
I write about video games and technology.
The NPD numbers for January are in, and the PS4 appears to be steaming right ahead in 2014. Sony's Sony's console led US hardware sales for the month, "nearly doubling" the closest next gen competitor, according to a Q&A on the company's site. It's especially impressive considering the fact that units are nearly impossible to find in stores, making it hard to tell how many PS4′s would have been sold were they readily available. Microsoft Microsoft dominated the console landscape in the United States throughout the last generation, so this early lead from Sony represents an important turnaround from the core gaming set. PS4 still leads worldwide, and the Japanese launch is sure to bolster those numbers.
For Microsoft's part, it's holding on to the Xbox platforms having the best software sales in total. In a post on Xbox Wire, Corporate Vice President of Marketing and Strategy Yusef Mehdi reminds us just how fast this now-current generation is moving: the Xbox One is selling at 2.29 times the rate of the Xbox 360 in a comparable time period, and one can only imagine how big that number is for Playstation. The top five selling games for the month were Call of Duty: Ghosts, NBA 2K14, Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed 4 and Grand Theft Auto 5.
There are several reasons why the PS4 is outselling the Xbox One. First, the wave of bad publicity that came from Microsoft's early DRM and used games policies dogged the console well into launch, particularly among the core gamers who are likely buying most of the consoles at the moment. Early reports that cross-platform games were performing better on the PS4 gave Sony a nice feather in its cap, as well. But I'd still argue that price remains the PS4′s greatest strength, and that won't go away any time soon. Sony's console is $100 cheaper, and that's a pretty ironclad argument, especially with the aforementioned horsepower advantage.
The Xbox One is more expensive mostly because of the Kinect 2.0., a device which has yet to deliver on its promise to revolutionize TV and games simultaneously. It's very nice to go right from Hulu to Netflix Netflix just by shouting at the TV, but Microsoft needs some stellar motion-controlled games to really make its case.
I expect the situation to look relatively similar as we move through the winter of 2014, though the Xbox One may pick up some steam. The two platforms are getting two big exclusives: Infamous: Second Son for PS4 and Titanfall for Xbox One, of which Titanfall is drawing a lot more attention. While third-party publishing is bound to dominate the software landscape throughout the generation, it's hard to overstate the importance of exclusives. If you're itching for a next-gen console and all your friends are playing Titanfall, you might gravitate toward the Xbox One. Of course, then you'd see the price tag.
This article is not entirely accurate. Xbox ONE software sales did NOT lead in January. Those were combined 360+One sales. Not really a surprise given the 360′s nearly 2:1 USA advantage in system sales. Out of next gen consoles, PS4 led Xbox One by the same margin as they did in hardware, according to Sony.
Additionally, Infamous: Second Son is actually a PS4 exclusive, not Xbox One.
I can see how you read that… however he noted "the TWO platforms" are getting Infamous and Titanfall. He could have been more clear, but he didn't say Infamous was on Xb1. Just sort of sounded like it.
It reads quite accurately now. Good article.
The silence from Microsoft is deafening…and can't come too soon. I was already growing weary of the MS marketing team (e.g. "# of gaming hours played on our consoles"). Goodbye XBONE…we hardly knew you (and didn't care frankly).
Another reason for PS4 out selling XB1 is the success of the XB360.
A lot of us casual gamers skipped the PS3.
It tried to do to much and performance suffered for the casual gamer.
We now have a 360 that handles the bulk of our Microsoft gaming,
and the PS4 gives us a chance to get back to Sony.
The XB1 will most likely be what the PS3 was on the last generation;
a gamers second console.
that is of course, unless Titan Fall proves to be the same game changer that Halo was, then XB1 could close the gap.
That $100 difference goes a long way. The PS4 is $400 for the console and a controller. You then need the network subscription (Playstation Plus-$50) and a game of your choice (COD:Ghosts $65). So the total to start gaming with a PS4 end up to be approximately $515. $515 is just getting started with owning the Xbox One console. Microsoft made the choice easy for me and my gaming friends to go from Xbox and Xbox 360 to PS4.
