Texas announces Louisville's Charlie Strong as next head coach
Texas has its man. The Longhorns officially announced the hiring of Charlie Strong as the program's 29th football coach on Sunday.
Strong, who spent the past four seasons as head coach at Louisville, said in a statement that he is grateful for the opportunity ahead.
"I'm excited and my family is excited to have the chance to lead one of the premier football programs in the country," Strong said. "Texas is one of those places that is always on your radar and a program anyone would dream of being a part of because you have a chance to compete on a national level every year. It's special because it has such great history, pride, tradition and passion for football."
In a press conference on Sunday, Jurich confirmed that Strong will depart Louisville, though Texas had yet to officially confirm the hire at that time. Several outlets, including Chip Brown of OrangeBloods.com and Jeremy Fowler of CBSSports.com reported, first reported on Saturday that Texas was likely to announce Strong's hire on Sunday.
The news of Strong's hire was first reported on Friday night by Bobby Burton of 247Sports.com.
Texas athletic director Steve Patterson said in a statement that Strong boasts the right credentials to carry the Longhorns' program forward.
"I am excited to have Charlie Strong here to build on the proud tradition of Texas football and the 16 great years that Mack Brown gave to the program. Our committee and former lettermen helped create an extensive selection criteria and after visiting with Charlie, it was clear he met them all. He led championship defenses as an assistant, a resurgence at the University of Louisville with double-digit game winning seasons, and twice been selected conference coach of the year.
Most importantly, Charlie is a man of great integrity, with a wonderful family, who is well respected inside and outside the game. He is committed to the development of the total student-athlete both on and off the field. Charlie will represent the program and University extremely well. We look forward to a long and successful tenure for him here at Texas. I'd also like to thank President Bill Powers, our search committee, Jed Hughes and others who helped us select Coach Strong."
Texas did not release contract details, but SI.com's Pete Thamel reported on Friday night that Texas and Strong had agreed in principle to a five-year deal that would pay Strong about $5 million per year.
Strong is 37-15 in his career with Louisville, a mark that includes bowl wins over Miami and Florida in back-to-back seasons. He replaces Mack Brown, who spent 16 years as head coach at Texas. Strong discussed the responsibility of carrying over Brown's legacy into the new era of Longhorns football.
"To follow a future Hall of Fame coach like Mack Brown, who built a program that had great success and a reputation of doing it with class and integrity, is extra special," Strong said. "The National Championship, BCS Bowl wins and all he accomplished in 16 years built on the Longhorn legacy and makes it such an exciting place to be.
"Coach Brown developed such a strong bond with his players, the lettermen, community and high school coaches in this state, and that's something I hope to build on. He made everyone feel at home. I had the opportunity to speak at the High School Coaches Clinic in Austin a few years ago and Coach Brown introduced Coach (Darrell) Royal, and everyone gave him a standing ovation. Meeting Coach Royal and being around him that day is something I'll never forget."
Strong is a guy who is a proven winner in only one stint as a head coach: The Cardinals have been one of the nation's most successful programs over the last two years with a 23-3 record, including bowl wins in consecutive seasons for the first time in program history. Strong was well-respected as a defensive coordinator under Urban Meyer at Florida, and while the coach's on-field credentials are excellent, many wonder how Strong will handle the relentless media coverage in Austin. Brown enjoyed a very comfortable relationship with the media during his tenure, and whether or not Strong can do the same under a much brighter light remains to be seen. Still, Strong is known as a talented recruiter, so the sky is the limit with what he can do at Texas, which enjoys a hotbed of in-state prospects right in its backyard.
Congratulations. Texas tries to prove they are just as diverse as A&M by hiring a black coach.
A National Championship within 3 years.
Let me first say that I am an alumnus of UT and a season ticket holder. I am absolutely ecstatic about the hiring of Strong. Mack did a great job here, but the last four years had become a joke. We did not develop talent, we missed out on so many top recruits that we should have had, we had embarrassing losses, we eeked out lucky wins against dregs like KU and Iowa State. And all the while, Mack would just spin and spin like some politician. It got very old. UT affords a coach a great many advantages, as did the weak schedules we had played in recent years, and we underachieved mightily. Now the politician is gone and we have a young and hungry football guy. This man is ambitious and his only goal is to win football games, not slap backs at social functions. Good!
Good hire now win.
Having followed Texas since the 1980's I'm pretty confident that this was a good hire at this point and that Charlie Strong can compete for championships here. When Mack came, he was absolutely the right guy. The program had been beaten up for 10 years. He was hot and his optimism and people skills were critical. Now, not so much. The team was soft again, just like in Mackovic years. Mack lost his edge, or just no longer matched up well with the kids. And he was way too nice. Strong is a change of pace. The talent will come. If not in quite the same abundance as Brown, that's really okay because it's what you can do with the kids that counts. Charlie Strong had almost an entire team of three stars. But he turned them into great players, highly motivated players. If he can do that, it will be enough.
Don't forget that the other big change is Steve Patterson for Deloss Dodds. Deloss wanted Mack to be the press conference guy. Patterson changes cultures. I guaranty he has a plan to work with Strong in a different way to make the media stuff happen.
If he wins, no worries about all the "oil tycoons". Haha! They are also just people and he can handle them. If they get their feelings hurt because he did not kiss their boot, all the better. I don't want people like that to make our coaches dance anyway. They can go shovel cow poo at their hobby ranches. If he wins, people will flock to him and the program.
Not saying by the way that there were not "better" coaches out there. Who can say a proven Saban or Meyer or whomever is not a safer hire? So what. They were not available and Charlie was. Nobody has a corner on coaching talent.
The black thing is great. About time. Now it is irrelevant. The mixed race marriage, better. It is great when a person of one race can find love and not crush it with their biases. We are shedding our cultural junk decade by decade.
I hope people give him a chance.
It's not only about reclaiming lost ground from the last few years. The other programs in Texas have gained and held ground. Kids see a Heisman Trophy winner at Baylor, at A&M, and that the others go to bowls consistently. The Longhorns have lost their One and Only aura.
For all the "Texas Money" and "Texas High School Recruiting Power", this is the best the great state of Texas could come up with? Come on- you have to do better than this. I thought you would get Lombardi, Halas, Shula, Landry, Cowher, Harbaugh, Carroll, Saban, Meyer, or even Timlin. This hire is a joke right? Couldn't you have just signed Mike Shula and hoped for Saban in 2-3 years? The whole country is laughing our As s off at how pathetic Texas football has become.
Great hire. Texas will be back to being a national powerhouse very soon.
Just hope that he can recruit a QB!!!!!
will Urban Meyer fake some illness now to get out of Oho for the Louisville job?
He is a great football coach and his kids graduate.
Congratulations. Now you have the honor of dealing with rich, self-important boosters who will feel the unremitting need to tell you how to do your job. Careful what you wish for . . .
I think CharlieStrong will be an amazing coach at Texas
It certainly seems that Strong knows how to coach. With the recruits he'll get at Texas, if he can indeed coach them, the Longhorns should get a lot better in a hurry. And let's face it, a job like Louisville is a stepping stone. And he has used it well.
Does this mean James Franklin will go to Penn State?
College football is ALL about recruiting and Texas football is ALL about recruiting in Texas. I don't see Strong as have any contacts in Texas high school football, but perhaps he will hire assistants who can make up for that shortcoming. His biggest problem is going to be expectations for Texas to be competing for a national title from day one.
Awesome. A GREAT coach that we HAD at UF, but passed over for Muschump. My Gators downward spiral started the season Strong left for Loiusville. Dude can recruit, coach and inspire ... Damn it.
Remember in the 2006 NCG when Florida held Ohio State to less than 100 yards total offense for the whole game? Charlie Strong was the defensive coordinator for Florida during that National Championship Game!
Look at this, L'ville Kentucky fans trying to paint Austin as racist. Omgosh! I don't blame him for getting out of Loserville ASAP. #sinkingship
The eyes of Texas are upon you. Stong will do well is Strong listens and obeys and does what Strong is told in Austin. Strong will become a puppet for the oil millionaires in Texas pulling the strings.
Narduzzi to Louisville
@mike.russell Don't forget UTEP!
@sg12Ugh. Thank God we didn't end up with Saban or Meyer. Texans want something authentic and unique - not success where the coach is bigger than the program. Saban would never have created more Texas legacy if he won, just Saban legacy. Totally support Strong and I may actually pay to attend more games again. Maybe this guy Charlie knows a great QB when he sees one and we'll quit letting Round 1 talent walk out of the state...
@sg12 None of their top choices were interested. They had to take eat some humble pie and settle for what was probably their 6th or 7th choice.
@sg12 What a butthurt little aggy
@sg12 I bet you got some great stickers decorating your protective head gear. All the other kids on the short bus must be jealous of you.
@TheDistrict lol, okay. And so will Notre Dame and Penn State.
@OnTheRoad The #1 overall pick in the NFL draft will be the Louisville QB so it appears he knows that he's doing on that front
@JacobAndersonGo smoke that thing elsewhere.
@JacobAnderson I hate self promoting bloggers. If you actually have a good blog people would already be chatting about it and you wouldn't need to appear so desperate.
@WilyCoyoteSuperGeniusBob Stoops didn't have any contacts in Oklahoma either. It's Texas; I could recruit for them.
@WilyCoyoteSuperGenius I would wager to say that any top level high school football player already knows about Charlie Strong and has already formed an opinion about him. My guess would be that a higher percentage of them are impressed with his accomplishments and would be more than willing to listen to what he has to offer them. As for people expecting a national title, well I think a lot of us hope that for our programs, but all of us are realistic.
@WilyCoyoteSuperGenius So a guy with 2 BCS game wins, a heisman runner up and is a national name won't be able to make contacts at Texas high school? LOLOL okay. I'm not a Texas fan to any degree, but this is a fantastic hire for them.
@MichaelLueckert As a fellow Gator fan, I couldn't agree more. Biggest mistake UF has made in the last decade was letting Strong walk away. Muschamp isn't a head coach.
Strong was DC for both of UFs championships .... Then our idiot AD passed him over for Muschump
@dandogwood Do you make stupid uneducated comments on every article you read?
You are either seriously a loser or joking, I hope you are joking
Perhaps. If not, he's clearly biding his time until Dantonio leaves. If that's the case, you have to suspect MD has already indicated he plans to step down within 2-3 years.
@KristianColasacco @sg12 And you are basing this on what? Some unfounded espn report. We had offered the job to one guy, Saban. That got blown up by Mack. No other coach had been offered the job. Get your facts straight. "6th or 7th"? Get real!
Kristian, you really are not that smart, stop talking, you are embarrassing your family.
@KristianColasacco@TheDistrictBad comparisons. So, please shut your pie hole.
@MichaelLueckert Perhaps even more telling, Florida won the NC game against Oklahoma thanks to two (!) 4th-&-goal stands. That's some serious defensive play-calling, especially considering Sam Bradford was the OK QB then. As a Gator fan, we definitely missed our chance.
@MichaelLueckertAnd fortunately for Texas, their "head coach in waiting" moved on. Man, did they (Texas) dodge a bullet on that one.
@JeremyLindley regardless of whether Strong was black or white, ANY coach in Austin right now has to play politics. Way too much of it down there at the school from president, AD, board of regents, Gov of the state, big money donors etc...
dealing with the Longhorn network will be tough too.
college football is no different than other places to work in that some are more political than others.
WAY too many folks in and around Austin think they should be allowed to have their hands on the program.
i don't care who they hired, it's a tough gig under those circumstances and it has nothing to do with the color of skin GOD gave him.
@Zeshan@MichaelLueckertStoops blew that one. He had the best QB in college football and a stud tight end and didn't try to throw the ball any of the 8 tries OU had inside the 5

Pros – Fun, hip and modern work place with a young demographic. Dress is casual and people seem interested in meeting others. Easy to be hired as an intern.
Cons – Little mobility within the company and limited benefits turn me off from this company. The atmosphere, while fun, can seem a bit unprofessional at times.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

DAHLONEGA, GA – Sophomore Tyler Mattix has
been named the Moe's Southwest Grill North Georgia Athlete of
the Week after leading the Saints to a fourth place finish over the
weekend at the PBC Championships announced this afternoon by the
Sports Information Office.
The sophomore led the Saints at the 19th running of the Peach Belt Conference Championships presented by GEICO at Luther Britt Park, posting a time of 27:10.74, the best time of his two-year collegiate career.
The Snellville, Ga., native crossed the finish line in eighth place overall, earning him Peach Belt Second-Team All-Conference honors, the first men's cross country athlete to earn an all-conference award at North Georgia since 2006.
Mattix has led the Saints in every race this season, guiding the squad to the fourth best team in the league, the programs second highest finish since entering the Peach Belt Conference.
Mattix and the Saints will have a week off before returning to action on November 7, 2009, traveling to Wingate, North Carolina, for the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional. Last season at the 10,000-meter event, Mattix finished 62nd overall with a time of 36:18.

Medresco portable hearing aid, England, 1953
The Medical Research Council designed this early example of a portable hearing aid. It consists of an internal ear piece, large Ministry of Health-issue batteries and a microphone. It comes in a leather carrying pouch. The hearing aid ensemble is bulky by today's standards. Since the late 1970s, some people who are deaf can hear with the aid of small, discreet cochlear implants. These hearing aids are powered by tiny lithium batteries the size of a watch battery. Some people in the deaf community argue cochlear implants 'normalise' people with hearing loss. This example was made by Remploy Limited.

Teenage boy is rescued from a boulder on the Red RiverFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- A teenage boy is now safe after being stranded on a boulder in the Red River.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- A teenage boy is now safe after being stranded on a boulder in the Red River.
It happened at the 12th Avenue dam in North Fargo around five-thirty last night. The boy tried to cross the river on foot, using the rocks for footing.
He couldn't reach the other side on his own, and started calling for help. A neighbor heard him, and firefighters came to the rescue.
Captain Tim Binfet with the Fargo Fire Department says, "I guess he was pretty cold and not very talkative. So, I don't know if he was pre-hypothermic or not. But I guess he was pretty cold and it was dark out, so he was probably pretty scared sitting in the river."
The boy was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Rafael Nadal tones down celebration after beating Roger Federer
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — There was no roar from Rafael Nadal after he beat Roger Federer 6-4, 6-2 in the quarterfinals of the BNP Paribas Open on Thursday night. In front of a capacity crowd, Nadal punctuated the victory with a simple fist pump before walking to the net to greet Federer.
"He told me he's happy that I'm back," Nadal said of the pleasantries exchanged at the net. "He just congratulated me and [I] asked him [about] his back. He told me, 'No, I'm fine.' "
Nadal's muted celebration was another signal of the respect and familiarity between the two, as it was clear Federer couldn't play his best because of a back injury.
"I played a fantastic first set, in my opinion," Nadal said. "The second set was strange. The second set I think Roger didn't fight as usual. Probably he had some problems and he didn't feel enough comfortable to keep fighting."
NGUYEN: Could Federer drop in rankings?
Federer, who had been dealing with the back injury in his previous two matches, said he was just happy to be fit enough to take the court.
"It's obviously a small issue," he said. "That doesn't work against guys like Rafa, obviously."
The Spaniard has come back after seven months off the tour to tear through three clay tournaments, winning in Brazil and Mexico and making the final in Chile. The fact that Nadal could beat Federer with just two hard-court matches under his belt — before Indian Wells, he had not played a hard-court match since Miami last year — didn't seem to faze Federer.
"He's not going to come back if he's not well," Federer said. "He's not going to come back half broken. I expected him to tear through the clay. I expected him to be tough here, which he shows to be."

Georgie Porgies in Good Old New Jersaey
Sat, 09/6/08 7:35 AM
The latest edition of the Star Ledger's Munchmobile dining report listed favorites...and one roadfood place was a barbecue place in Lebanon Twp. on Rt. 31. We haven't heard reports of great barbecue in New Jersey....I make due with Famous Dave's locally....Has anyone of my fellow Jersey Roadfooders heard of this place. One reviewer called it "the Best!!" Seems they smoke it themselves and they use a barbecue sauce from Amish Country. Now there's one I never heard before....I'd like some feedback....I include the article here from the paper...Scroll down 'til you get to the section about Georgie Porgie's.

My parents stopped there, on the way to a family function in Glen Gardner, a few weeks ago.
Now, with the disclaimer that the reason I escaped from home, and learned all about great food, is because my parents are not exactly a great collective authority on the subject. I love them dearly...but ya know, Tim & Nina Zagat, they are not.
With that, Mom & Dad loved it!!

I've eaten there several times, and although I fully admit I know nothing about great BBQ, I found it quite good. They have a smoker trailer on site and everything else is served out of a concession trailer. I had the pulled pork sandwich twice and the brisket sandwich once, both were very good. I picked up a menu and the number is
(908) 625-4518 and the hours listed are Tues-Sun 11am-7pm. I don't know about winter hours I ate there over the summer while I was still working in the area. There is also a very good hot dog push cart next door called Poppys and the guy who runs it has an amazing homemade garlic and parsley relish. Hope this helps.
p.s. I was flipping through a local community paper that is published by the Asbury Park Press and they had a story about 4 BBQ joints local to the Monmouth/Ocean County area. The Memphis Pig Out in Atlantic Highlands, D & L Bar-B-Cue in Asbury Park, The Hickory Hog in Point Pleasant and Ben's Extreme BBQ Smokehouse and Grill in Bayville and Forked River.

I had a day off yesterday and it was a nice day so I took a ½ hour drive out to Rt 31. I had passed thru there about a month ago and noticed Georgie Porgie's, and being urged on by the good review in Munchmobile and what I've read here, this was my destination.
I had the brisket sandwich/baked beans/soda combo, $7.00. The price was very reasonable even though the sandwich was a little on the small side. The brisket was very good, absolutely no fatty or gristly slices, all uniformly tender and tasty. The small cup of beans was OK, nothing special.
Sharing the same roadside lot is Poppy's Hot Dogs. I had one "Killer Dog", $1.60, which is a hot dog with onion sauce and Poppy's special sauce. He said it was an Argentinean Recipe, but I forget what he called it. It resembled a very garlicky pesto sauce. I can't say I'd eat 5 of them, but it made for a very different and unique taste. I also had a Chili dog (also $1.60). The chili was on the sweet side but good. I prefer a little spicy, but that's a matter of taste. The dogs were standard issue Berks.
Both Georgie Porgie's and Poppy's have friendly owners. Both places are welcome additions to the New Jersey Roadside scene. Having them both in the same spot is a bonus. Both hope to be there at least thru the end of November.
Loaded down with Brisket, Beans, and 2 hot dogs, before heading home I drove over to Round Valley Reservoir, and took a good walk on the trail by the lake. The beach and trail are very peaceful in the off season. I'd never go near there in the summer.

Thanks for that review of Georgie Porgies. I've been passing this place whenever I go fishing, for over a year now. I've always wanted to stop, but haven't bothered. Next time I'm down that way, I'm stopping in! Good to hear they'll be there through November.

Was around 9 am on April, 5th 2012. Started to smell smoke and so I looked out my window to see it pouring into the sky. Just two blcoks over. I went to check it out. On the walk over sirens blasted as Rescue crew made it to the scene. It started out just smoke coming from the trailer. Then the roof started to go. Eventually News teams started showing and more rescue crew. The trailer believe is a total loss. No one was home, as far as i know. The firemen are still containing it, most the smoke has gone.

Published by Brad Hoefs at 7:45 AM under Bipolar Disorder | Education | Hope | Living Well | Recovery
Even for those who do not celebrate Easter, this time of the year, serves as a time of celebrating life and a time of reflection of the lives we are living. So, how is the quality of the life you are living? It's a fair question to ask.
Are you surviving or thriving? Certainly life in recovery is a mixture of the two. However, I work diligently to thrive. For me thriving has much more to do with attitude than anything else. Part of my attitude is that I want as much out of my life as possible in spite on having bipolar disorder. And even on days where I might be doing more surviving than thriving if I am learning from my "surviving" then I look at it as thriving.
Attitude matters. A quality of life in recovery has a lot to do with our outlook on life. But, what also plays an extremely important role in our lives is the medical treatment that we are receiving for bipolar disorder; is your medical treatment contributing to you thriving? What are your expectations? Is it even possible for you and me to expect our medical treatment to help us get to a point of remission? Remission? Really? Talk about thriving!
Here's an article from DBSA that I ran across this past week. I offer it to you hear what you think about it. If nothing else, it gets you and me thinking about the quality of our lives during this time of the year when this is new life springing up around us everywhere.
I don't know about you, but I do not want to die before I am dead! I want to live a full and rich life in spite of bipolar disorder. How about you?

Being a go-get 'em kind of person, it is hard for me to know or accept when it's time to just slow down. Add to that the hairshirt of guilt I tend to put on when I find that I am feeling overwhelmed or fatigued, and I can end up a real wreck of a self-beleaguered and just worn-out person on the edge of a good mood shift.
I've had a lot going on recently, from renewed artmaking to my husband's job searching, from a new editing gig to physical therapy from that bad tumble last fall. I've been writing and supporting my aging dogs. There's a debate with my local behavioral health agency over treatment coverage. I'm catching up on doctor visits now that I have insurance. Oh, and severe allergies that simply took me out this last week. These are just examples.
My brain got over-full. I noticed I was having trouble remembering even the smallest things, more than just where I lay my keys or glasses. It seemed like I couldn't take in any more information whatsoever. Further, I felt as if I was on the brink of depression: colors around me dulled, sounds deafened, my reactions slowed, and feelings blunted.
It's when this starts to happen, I see it, and when my tuned-in husband says something about it that I really have to take action. Guilt or no guilt, stick a fork in me, I am done.
The solution is simple: I rest my brain. I do the minimum.
I put away the computer, the books, the art, the issues, everything but the daily necessities. And then I slowly re-introduce things as they appeal to me.
Today I wrote this blog.
Can you recognize mental exhaustion? What do you do about it?

Why is Your Bipolar Symptoms Not Like My Bipolar Symptoms?
This always puzzled some people how they can "have bipolar disorder" but not have the stereotypical stigmatic classic signs. How can they be bipolar if the only had one point in their life that could be considered manic and then dealt with depression?
Here is how the National Institutes of Health defines BP. You see the grass is not greener on the other side, it is just diagnosed differently.
Doctors usually diagnose mental disorders using guidelines from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM. According to the DSM, there are four basic types of bipolar disorder:

My book is out, as you many already know, prompting me to dig out a tip for you. As I search the table of contents, it hits me how often samples have saved me. And I'm not just talking about money.
Do you ask your psychiatrist for samples?
Samples are a beautiful thing and often overlooked as part of a solution. They come in handy more than you might think. Samples are often tucked away in rooms and drawers and not even mentioned, but always inquire. One day my doctor disappeared into the mystery room and came back with them. Otherwise, I would never have known to ask.Samples can be a lifesaver if you don't have insurance. Some doctors have them, some don't. If your doctor interacts with pharmaceutical reps, chances are he or she will have them. This is particularly helpful when you are just beginning a new medication. It may be that you don't want to pay for a full prescription until you are certain it works for you. Or, you might not have insurance. You could use those samples to supplement generics, which are affordable, with the brand you truly need. I've both done that. I've also used samples when my insurance suddenly denied my lifesaving brand med. It's a fight, fights take time, and samples can keep you going while you're gearing up and going to battle. After all, one starter pack can be worth hundreds of dollars retail. Battles take time and brand medications are expensive. If your doctor has them, don't be shy. When asked, say "as many as you can spare!" Remember, your health is important: speak up and advocate for what you need.

Published by Victoria Maxwell at 12:01 AM under Bipolar Disorder | binge eating disorder
My recent Psychology Today post asked "what size do you have to be to have an eating disorder?" I'm someone with bipolar disorder who also struggled for 10 years with an eating disorder. Binge eating disorder to be exact. It was extremely painful, shameful and all consuming (pardon the pun). As my moods plummeted or soared, suicidal ideation waxed and waned, my constant throughout was my 'food problem'. It was my coping tool to deaden despair, temper anxiety and modulate mania. I hadn't read anything on the connection between bipolar disorder and binge eating – until now. The Mayo Clinic published a news release about a study that looks at it.
Dr. Mark Frye, co-author of the study explains "just under 10 percent (of people with bipolar disorder) have binge eating disorder — a higher rate of binge eating than seen in the general population." The study also found "bipolar patients who binge eat are more likely to have... suicidal thoughts, psychosis, anxiety disorders and substance abuse."
I find this strangely comforting. I finally have information that reflects (and validates) my own experiences. Suicidal thoughts – check. Anxiety – check. Psychosis – check. With those, I also experienced the intense, relentless compulsion to overeat.
Many of us deal with not only bipolar disorder, but also binge eating disorder. That cannot remain overlooked and cannot be chalked up to 'just poor food choices'. It was a coping tool (yes, an unhealthy one) but a coping tool nonetheless. I engaged in the behavior because it made the anxiety, mania and depression a little easier to endure.
The more we talk about our binge eating, the more likely we will find providers who are able to help us address and overcome it.
Do you struggle with binge eating? Did you? How did you overcome it? Would you like me to write more about this subject?© 2014 Victoria Maxwell (www.victoriamaxwell.com)

Helena Bonham Carter
Forget the Golden Globe shoes and the Amy Winehouse hair for just a minute and let's think about Helena Bonham Carter's singular style. Thankfully since making the Vanity Fair best dressed list, 2010, HBC seems to have ditched the Victorian bloomers for Vivienne Westwood's cleavage-enhancing corset dresses and Lulu Guinness' bags. And wait for it.... on days when she doesn't look too eccentric or contrived, or like she's walked into a jumble sale and come out wearing all the clothes, at once, I actually quite like the HBC look. It's very English. Vanity Fair admired her 'exquisite self-expression' and even if the mismatched shoes were a step too far, it is refreshing to see someone who doesn't do Botox, or Marchesa. Oh and HBC is a splendid actor too; brilliant as Nigel Slater's chain-smoking stepmother in Toast, perfectly cast as Enid Blyton in the BBC biopic and - it goes without saying - superb as the Queen Mum in The King's Speech. Not to mention Fight Club, Sweeney Todd, A Room With A View.
The 44-year-old has an excellent pedigree, she's the great great grandaughter of Prime Minister, Herbert H Asquith and has an incredibly stylish mother:
Helena Bonham Carter, bonkers-tastic or badly dressed? What do you think?

I think she's brilliant! Don't always like what she's wearing - but brilliant for doing it anyway whether we like it or not.

Electric eccentric. Love her laugh too, filthy.
- 27 January 2011 13:05

Have to admire her because she looks like "herself," and not another copycat blonde.
- 27 January 2011 13:06
- Vintage Vixen said...
I think she's amazing, a proper English eccentric. Wasn't she fab in Toast? Sounded rather like me. xxx
- 27 January 2011 13:16
- L'age moyen said...
You are so bang-on! She is totally English-style to the max. To my mind it means quirky and disheveled strongly backed by a heavy dose of history (bustier!). I love the that she downplays her utter gorgeousness and has a general - if you'll excuse me - f-you attitude towards how the media would like her to look. She's no uptight English rose (even though she's a total rose). I love her! Oh yeah, and she's talented. Too much.

Bonkers-tastic, without a doubt!
- 27 January 2011 13:26
- notSupermum said...
I love the way she dresses for herself and not to make other people happy. She is a true eccentric and a national treasure.
- 27 January 2011 13:54
- projectforty said...
I've grown to love HBC - I'm not sure when it started. Once she lost the bloomers, I think. My favourite telly over Christmas was 'toast' and am off to see King's Speech at our new rural multiplex (get us!) next week. Looking forward to seeing her interpret QM-style.
- 27 January 2011 14:18
- sarsm said...
My vote goes to bonkers-tastic. She's a fantastic actress and the fact that she is completely uninfluenced by the media is inspiring. Go Helena, go!
- 27 January 2011 14:44
- Nana Go-Go said...
Quite frankly, she`d still look ridiculously beautiful wearing a potato sack!
- 27 January 2011 15:12
- Anne @ The Frump Factor said...
I LOVE her look. Such originality and attitude. I also think that the eccentric look works so well for her because her physical appearance is so beautiful in that sort of old-fashioned, "Period Piece" kind of way. She offsets that with the quirky style.
- 27 January 2011 15:17

Hi there-I love her unique and quirky style, she goes for it and good for her!

I think she's great. Love her "f--- you" attitude, as L'age moyen points out.

Oh 100% bonkers-tastic. Very talented lady. Xxxx
- 27 January 2011 20:16
- Penny Dreadful said...
I love her because she is bonkers. A demonstration that fashion is about fun and creativity and expression, not always to look 'pretty'. It would be a sad day if she ever wore a twin-set and pearls.
- 27 January 2011 20:30
- WeShop said...
I used to despair over the way she dressed but she's really playing to her strengths with the Vivienne Westwood outfits. She's a stunning looking woman and I can't believe she's 44 - in some of those pics she could pass for 25! A post on her mother would be great as I don't know who she is but that outfit looks amazing. xx
- 27 January 2011 20:50
- Miss Whistle said...
Oh you're so wonderful doing this post. She's fab and eccentric and great and people just don't understand her. However, and it's a big however, whoever is doing her hair and make-up in the US for the awards shows is not doing a very good job.

Bonkers-tastic definitely .... and there's nothing wrong with bonkers, its better than boring!

Loved Helena in Toast - so perfectly cast... I think she's a great example of English eccentricity, she seems to just wear what she loves, and really suits Vivienne Westwood pieces.

I absolutely love her and always have. She's a true individual. Loved her in Toast too, wasn't it great? Have a fab weekend xx

- Veshoevius said...
I love her - there are times when she can overdo it (eg. different shoes) but I wouldn't change her - good on her for being original damn it! She is for me THE poster girl for Vivienne Westwood.
- 28 January 2011 23:34
- cocolini said...
Ever since A Room with a View I have been a HBC fan. She is very much the English eccentric and I think she's great. There is nothing plastic about her. When I saw her Globes outfit I loved her even more. She knows exactly who she is and is confident to be herself. Love her a lot

After seeing TKS with my husband he tells me that Helena Bonham Carter has now "ruined" the Queen Mum for him as she was one image he could use as a banker to avoid getting aroused at inopportune moments in a Singing Detective stylee.
I believe Helen Mirren "ruined" QE2 in much the same fashion.
I suppose I should hope that Julianne Moore does not get offered the chance to play Margaret Thatcher anytime soon.

I love HBC - I saw her once at a party as a friend went to school with her and she is stunning, soooo pretty, I just stood and gawked.. also I have seen her in a French film speaking French throughout, she is bilingual, I think her mum is French, a very talented girl indeed ( I think the film was called ..Chinoises - oh my ageing brain!) xx

She's stunning! I love what she wears most of the time simply because you can tell she just wears what she fancies, however ridiculous or outrageous it may be. It's quite inspiring really. Even if she does something badly, she's Helena Bonham Carter, so she does it well.

The National Assc of Broadcasters last week played the race card in trying to stop it. They said an increase of the "performance tax" would place a tough burden on the minority owned stations and Radio One which is minority owned toted Jesse Jackson along to the hearing. If the FCC buys into that arguement, then they are just as dumb as everyone else on the hill.
I think it will get passed as the Obomonites are looking for anyway they can nationalize the news media and broadcasters. They would love to put us out of business and control broadcast content. They are using a two pronged attack, raising royalities paid to recording artist from .02 cents per song to .09 cents per song and breaking up the larger broadcast groups and turn them over to minorites under the guise of "diversity".
They already have NBC in thier pocket. Jeff Zucker, NBC's Pres & CEO is now an advisor to Obomo and Obomo is going to throw NBC's parent company General Electric a bunch of multi-billion dollard green projects.
If they get their 7 cent increase per song, it will cost each radio station an additional $150,000. per year. Not bad for say a station in market #22 like Tampa but, that extra money coming from a station in DeFuniack Springs would send them to the poor house. Al Sharpton is trying to get minority stations exempt form paying increased royalities.

Best practices for Backup Exec 2012 Central Admin Server Option
|Created: 2012-03-07
|Updated: 2012-03-21
|Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO74432
Best practices include tips and recommendations to help you use the Backup Exec 2012 Central Admin Server Option (CASO) effectively. For more information about CASO, see the Backup Exec 2012 Administrator's Guide.
The following best practices help you use the Central Admin Server Option effectively:
The following best practices help you effectively optimize your network bandwidth:
Ensure that distributed catalogs are used. CASO uses distributed catalogs by default. Catalog files are stored on the managed Backup Exec server. However, the central administration server includes some catalog metadata to enable centralized restore.
Use the Export-BEBackupDefinition command in the Backup Exec Command Line Interface to recreate an existing backup definition on a different server. This command is similar to the Copy Job option that was available in previous versions of Backup Exec.
Use the option to set options, such as default job options, schedules, error-handling rules, and alert configurations from one server to another server. This option can be accessed from the Backup Exec button > .
Use the Create Simplified Disaster Recovery Disk wizard on the central administration server to create recovery media for any managed Backup Exec server or central administration server.
Access the Settings options from the central administration server's Storage tab to reduce the frequency of job status updates that are sent from the managed Backup Exec server to the central administration server. To access the option, you must select in the field and then select in the field.
Access the Settings options from the central administration server's Storage tab to increase the amount of time that Backup Exec waits before it changes the Backup Exec server's status if the Backup Exec server becomes unresponsive. To access the option, you must select in the field.
Enable communications between the managed Backup Exec server and the central administration server before you delete a managed Backup Exec server from a CASO configuration. By enabling communications, Backup Exec can remove all of the necessary components for the deleted server from the database.
Contact Symantec Technical Support for assistance before you reconfigure CASO. Reconfiguration errors can require a recovery of the managed Backup Exec servers, the central administration server, or the entire CASO environment.

I'd like to get some idea how folks on the Bulletin Board respond to three symphonies which I have come to appreciate and enjoy hearing in the last few years. I'd like to reserve my own response to them until I have had the chance to enjoy the responses of others. Here are the three:
1) Khachaturian"s Symphony # 3 (his "organ" symphony)
2) Tchaikovsky's Symphony # 7 (yes, the # 7 in its "re-constructed" format)
3) James K. Williams' Symphony For The Sons of Nam
Each a "maverick" in its own way. Love to hear your thoughts about these pieces.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret - Audio Library Edition (Compact Disc)
Usually Ships in 1-5 days
ORPHAN, CLOCK KEEPER, AND THIEF, Hugo lives in the walls of a busy Paris train station, where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. But when his world suddenly interlocks with an eccentric, bookish girl and a bitter old man who runs a toy booth in the station, Hugo's undercover life, and his most precious secret, are put in jeopardy. A cryptic drawing, a treasured notebook, a stolen key, a mechanical man, and a hidden message from Hugo's dead father form the backbone of this intricate, tender, and spellbinding mystery.
About the Author
In addition to The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Brian Selznick is the illustrator of the Caldecott Honor winner, The Dinosaurs of Waterhouse Hawkins, and The New York Times Best Illustrated Walt Whitman: Words for America, both by Barbara Kerley, as well as the Sibert Honor Winner When Marian Sang, by Pam Muñoz Ryan, and numerous other celebrated picture books and novels. Brian has also worked as a set designer and a puppeteer. When he isn't traveling to promote his work all over the world, he lives in San Diego, California, and Brooklyn, New York.

Martin Bell was awarded an OBE in 1992. He was voted Royal Television Society Reporter of the Year in 1977 and again in 1993 for his work in Bosnia, and has received several honorary degrees. His book In Harm's Way was published in Penguin in 1996.
Martin Bell, anti-sleaze campaigner and self-styled accidental MP looks back on four years of New Labour government.
Of the 260 new MPs elected in 1997, I was the one with the least idea of what to expect. A place in Parliament had never been on my wish list. Between being a candidate and being an MP had taken just 24 days. I did it on a whim and because the cause was compelling. The regrets of my life, almost without exception, have been about the road not taken, or the challenge refused.
Like most MPs I can claim, mistakenly, for all I know, some modest success in a campaign or two. I was especially pleased, following two adjournment debates, that the Government agreed to a gratuity for the few thousand surviving Far East prisoners of war. That was the Prime Minister's personal decision. It was the first time in more than half a century that their service and sacrifice had been recognised. Sometimes good things happen, even in politics.
But one campaign of mine that never caught on was the campaign for shorter speeches in Parliament. Because MPs are fated to spend so much time listening to each other's orations, they seem obliged to inflict as much tedium as they endure. I would commonly wait for five hours to speak for five minutes, and then wonder, was it worth it?
Possibly not, when the government's majority was so large, its back-benchers were so compliant, and the important decisions were taken elsewhere, especially in Downing Street. At least I had the luxury of voting according to the merits of the arguments I heard. So I was persuaded by Paul Flynn MP of the merits of legalising cannabis for medical purposes.
But rebellions were rare and few free spirits dared to defy the whips. I had thought I was joining the free parliament of a free people. It came to seem increasingly like a rubber stamp assembly. Party discipline is necessary up to a point, but it is not the be-all and end-all of a live democracy.
Looking back on those four years, I do not believe that we have been in general badly governed. This government has been more confident than the last; but it was helped, of course, by having a steam-roller majority. Both governments were broadly successful (after the ERM fiasco) in running the economy. Both shared in one high profile disaster, the Dome. Neither apologised for it.
The area that has caused me greatest concern is the issue of public trust. It was the issue on which I was elected in Tatton, and which produced the Labour landslide nationwide. Public trust has not been restored. It may even have been eroded still further. I am not sure that this Parliament is held in higher esteem than the last one. There remains a widespread assumption that politicians are in it for what they can get out of it.
The landmark event was the Bernie Ecclestone affair in November 1997. The government appeared to adjust its policy on tobacco advertising to accommodate the interests of a £1 million contributor. It should have been a wake-up call, but Downing Street's alarm bells were somehow switched off. The scandals followed one after the other, involving Peter Mandelson, Geoffrey Robinson, Keith Vaz and others. Wealth and influence bought special access, life peerages and fast-tracked passports. The Lord Chancellor could see nothing wrong in seeking party contributions from senior members of the legal profession whose careers he was in a position to advance. The Prime Minster kept in his government a minister who had refused to answer fully the questions of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. And this was the brave new world of New Labour?
Last year I wrote an account of my parliamentary adventure, An Accidental MP, which Penguin were kind enough to publish. It was generally well received and well reviewed, except of course by the MP whom I unseated, and by his wife. In it I concluded that the 'sleaze factor' in the Parliament of 1997 was of a different order to that of its predecessor. There was no cash in brown envelopes; no pattern of MPs exploiting their office to enrich themselves; nothing as blatant as what had gone before.
I have had to rewrite that chapter. I have since concluded that this lot is in some ways as bad as the last lot. The impropriety is of a different order. But it appears to be institutional. It relates to party funding, to abuse of the honours system and to misconduct by MPs who remain in their ministerial positions.
If we do not do better next time, we shall not be forgiven.

AUSTIN -- Navy SEAL Chris Kyle will be buried at Texas State Cemetery in East Austin on Tuesday.
Kyle will be buried around 1 p.m. His family has asked for a private ceremony after the public procession down Interstate 35 from Midlothian.
A few people were gathered at the cemetery to show their support Tuesday morning.
Located just blocks from the State Capitol, it is an honor to be buried in Texas State Cemetery. It is the final resting place for many governors, congressman, judges and other legendary Texans.
Chis Kyle will join them after a decorated career in the military. He is known as the most lethal sniper in U.S. history after serving four tours in Iraq.
His brother applied to the State Cemetery board to have Kyle buried there. Law enforcement and hundreds of Patriot Guard riders will escort the family.
They are starting to stage near 8th and Comal Streets, at the back side of the cemetery.
Traffic will be thick around that area for the next few hours. There will be several road closures near the burial site.
KVUE will have more on this story at 6 p.m.

Spring Semester in Tokyo
Thank you for your interest in Temple University's law school's spring semester study abroad program at the Temple University, Japan Campus in Tokyo. If, after reading all the material on this website, you have additional questions, please feel free to contact the Law Program. Many of your questions can also be answered in the Japan Pre-departure Manual.< TD>

Current Applicants
Message from the Director
Welcome! Would you like to learn how to practice law in a world where, increasingly, transactions and disputes cross borders? Might career paths outside the U.S. interest you? Would living, studying, and, perhaps, gaining some work experience for a semester in one of the world's most exciting and safest cities appeal to you? For an experience that will truly distinguish you, join us next spring in Tokyo where we operate the only semester-long program in Asia open to J.D.s from all ABA-accredited law schools.
You don't need to speak Japanese—though if you want to learn, you can take classes. And, if your skills are up to it, you can even take a class taught in Japanese, Current Issues in Japanese Law. All our other classes are in English. While you stay on track for the bar exam by enrolling in Professional Responsibility, Unincorporated Business Associations, or Trusts & Estates, you can hone your practical skills in courses such as International Contract Drafting or East-West Negotiation taught by seasoned international practitioners. As your classes will be small, you will quickly get to know all your professors and the other students. If you want some work experience, we will help you try to find an internship.
While taking classes, going on field trips, attending networking events, and simply enjoying Tokyo, you will form life-long friendships with both J.D. students from schools all over the U.S. and LL.M. students from Japan and elsewhere. You will build a global contact list of fellow professionals that you can tap throughout your professional and personal lives.
In Tokyo, you will never run out of things to do. You can watch for free the street scene, a fashion catwalk unmatched in any other city. Even on a tight budget, you will find great places to eat ramen, sushi, curry, pizza, and many other cuisines in a city that has three times as many restaurants as Paris and New York. Tokyo also abounds in clubs and live houses to suit all your musical tastes. It also, of course, has innumerable museums and all the other major cultural attractions that you would expect in a global capital. And should you want to escape, you can always spend a week or so during spring break or after the semester ends traveling to a quieter, rural Japan or, since much of the rest of Asia is only a short hop away −Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Bali.
So if you want an experience that will almost certainly be the highlight of your time in law school, that will be grounded in the practical, that will give you some insight into alternative career paths, come to Tokyo next spring.
Please let me know if you have any questions, firstname.lastname@example.com I'll respond with an email or a phone call, whichever you prefer.
I look forward to welcoming you in January.
Yours sincerely,

Katherine Gould recently enjoyed a thrilling ride on Magic Mountain's fast-zooming, forward-and-backward-rotating, face-down-plunging X2 roller coaster.
Then she underwent a frustrating experience trying to recover from Magic Mountain's lost-and-found department the smartphone that had gone flying from her pocket at some point during all that zooming, rotating and plunging.
"I honestly didn't think I'd get my phone back," Gould, 45, told me. "But I did expect at least an attempt at customer service."
Unresponsive — or nonexistent — customer service has to be the most common gripe I receive from people. For many companies, it seems, treating customers with courtesy and respect is little more than an afterthought.
You'd think a theme park, which is pretty much in the customer-service business, would know how to do it right. But running an accessible and friendly lost-and-found department appears to be low on Magic Mountain's list of priorities.
Glendale resident Gould said she visited the park with her 14-year-old daughter and a couple of her daughter's friends.
Gould had no problem with the X2's in-your-face twists and turns. "It scared the bejesus out of me, but it was awesome," she said.
Her problem was that she'd slipped her Droid Razr phone into one of the pockets of her cargo pants, and it made its getaway at some point when Gould was having her bejesus expunged.
She noticed after exiting the ride that her device was gone, so she went to a park worker at the X2 entrance.
"He said this happened all the time," Gould recalled. "He said they sweep the area every day after the park closes and pick up all the phones and pairs of glasses that went flying."
Gould was directed to the Valencia park's lost-and-found office, which is near the main entrance. As it happened, the man in front of her in line was also reporting a phone making a break for freedom on the X2.
A worker took Gould's report and gave her a number to call the next day. Gould called as instructed. The phone rang unanswered.
She called Magic Mountain's guest-services line and was transferred to lost and found. Once again, no one picked up the phone.
Gould called guest services again to complain. A worker said Gould would be placed on the park's list of people who couldn't get through to lost and found.
"They have a list!" Gould said. "Apparently there are a lot of lost souls like me."
She tried emailing lost and found. She kept calling for three days.
"No one ever picked up the phone," Gould said. "No one ever called me back or returned my email."
She finally gave up and bought a new phone.
I asked Sue Carpenter, a spokeswoman for Magic Mountain's parent company, Six Flags, what she had to say about Gould's not-so-awesome adventure in Customer Service Land.
"Reaching our lost-and-found department on an operating day is challenging," she acknowledged. "If one of our team members is helping a park guest, they cannot answer the phone, and the person calling gets put into a voice mail system."

The university think-tank million+ has welcomed the national strategy which focuses on access and student success in higher education in England which has been published by the Office for Fair Access (OFFA) and the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). The think-tank has previously emphasised the importance of ensuring that students from all backgrounds have the opportunity to study for a degree and has called for Ministers to launch a high profile campaign to promote part-time study and opportunities for older people who do not go to university straight from school.

Manifesto for regional growth calls on Ministers to place universities centre-stage
In a new report, Smarter Regions Smarter Britain, the university think-tank million+ has set out a manifesto to tackle the sharp variations in regional growth in the UK.

million+ comment after university funding drops by 9 per cent
The university think-tank million+ has said that once the lifting of the student numbers cap, announced by George Osborne, the Chancellor of Exchequer, in his Autumn Statement, is taken into account higher education in England will be cut in real terms by 9% by the time of the 2015 election.

Nebraska assistant Rick Kaczenski said the Husker defensive line knew what to expect up front against Minnesota, and talked about it all week.
The Gophers were going to line up and come at NU with their offensive line that averaged 311 pounds per man and their 220-pound tailbacks and quarterbacks. And they did that in running for 271 yards in their 34-23 win.
"There was no surprises," Kaczenski said. "They didn't pull any punches. They just lined up and got after us. It was really plain and simple. They were the more physical football team."
That creates a challenge for Kaczenski, who said "it comes back to me" as he continues to work with a young defensive front. One area where his linemen have to get better, he said, is with getting off blocks.
"If you can't stop power in this league," he said, "it's going to be a long five weeks."
NU struggles to protect QB
Nebraska struggled with pass protection as it officially began life without Spencer Long, who had made 33 straight starts at right guard before suffering a season-ending knee injury at Purdue.
The Huskers allowed four sacks after coming into the game with three, tied for the fewest among FBS teams. Another was negated by a face-mask penalty by Minnesota.
NU also dropped from No. 10 to No. 13 nationally in rushing offense (271.1 yards per game), from No. 21 to a tie for 33rd in total offense (467.0) and from No. 10 to a tie for 16th in scoring offense (39.9 points a game).
Another loss in turnovers
After either winning or breaking even in the turnover battle in its first five games, Nebraska has now lost it in two straight.
The Huskers failed to force a turnover for the first time all season at Minnesota. NU gave up the ball with an Ameer Abdullah fumble in the second quarter and a Taylor Martinez interception on its final offensive snap.
Nebraska is now minus-three in its last two games to slip to plus-two for the season.

Asian stocks fell on Monday, dragged down by a slide of 3.7 percent in Shanghai following fresh property curbs. Japanese shares, however, briefly touched a fresh four-and-a-half year peak as comments from the government's nominee as the next Bank of Japan governor fueled hopes for aggressive monetary easing.
The Shanghai Composite, China's benchmark stock index, fell to its lowest level in six weeks, while the CSI300 index of the top Shanghai and Shenzhen listings encountered its steepest daily loss since November 2010. The Hang Seng Index shed 1.5 percent.
The sharp selloff in China weighed on markets elsewhere in Asia, pushing the Nikkei off its 11,700-mark, while Australia's ASX 200 closed down 1.5 percent and Seoul's Kospi, which resumed trade after Friday's public holiday, slipped 0.6 percent.
China's Property Slump
Major property developers such as Gemdale and Poly Real Estate plunged 10 percent in Shanghai after Beijing on Friday announced an increase in down payments and loan rates to contain rising home prices.
One expert told CNBC Asia's "Cash Flow" that investors should not be scared off by the market's tumble.
(Read More: New 'Powerful Force' to Underpin Stock Rally)
"The property measures have been discounted by the market and if you look at the big-cap property stocks, they are still well-below recent lows so I don't think we are in a bear market," said Alex Wong, director of asset management at Ample Capital.
Focus is expected to turn to China's annual parliamentary meetings this week for signs of further property curbs. The annual Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference began on Sunday and the National People's Congress starts on Tuesday. The Congress is expected to confirm Xi Jinping as president
Tough Talk From Kuroda
Japan was the rare bright spot in Asian markets mired in negative territory, with comments from the government's nominee as next Bank of Japan (BOJ) governor helping to support shares.
The benchmark index closed at 11,652.2 points after initially crossing the 11,700-mark earlier in the session, a fresh four-and-a-half-year high.
Haruhiko Kuroda, testifying to Japan's lower house of parliament, said the central bank must take more aggressive easing steps to fight deflation, suggesting the central bank expand the size and the types of bonds it buys.
Kurodo, head of the Asian Development Bank, is widely expected to become the next BOJ governor and implement radical monetary easing measures to end years of deflation that have dogged Japan's economy.
Hopes of bold monetary policy action continued to bolster real estate stocks, one of the best performing sector on the Tokyo stock exchange. Heiwa Real Estate soared 9 percent while Sumitomo Realty and Development added 4 percent.
Sydney Falls on Resources
Lower metal prices sparked a selloff in Australia's resource sector with gold miner St Barbara diving 10 percent while global miners BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto tumbled over 3 percent.
Australia's central bank meets on Tuesday and analysts said markets should not rule out an interest rate cut following recent data such as numbers last week that showed business investment surprisingly fell in the fourth quarter of 2012.
(Read More: Rate Cut in Sight as Aussie Firms Cut Back Spending)
"Last week's business investment and capex (capital expenditure) number were weak, inflation is low and there's no growth coming out of the housing recovery yet," said Martin Lakos, division director at Macquarie Private Wealth. "We think we can see rates as low as 2 percent so we are expecting a cut tomorrow."
A majority of economists polled by Reuters expect the Reserve Bank of Australia to keep rates steady at 3 percent.

Here, you're getting the "real deal"... Tom Turkey measures 25" tall and 30" long from tip to tail -- matching the shape, body position, color and feather pattern of a real turkey. So life-like, you could even use it as a decoy in the field! Also available with a Replacement Insert for extended Target life.
