Success of Capgemini`s second employee-shareholding plan
Success of Capgemini's second employee-shareholding plan
Regulatory News:
Capgemini (Paris:CAP), one of the world's foremost providers of consulting, technology and outsourcing services, today announced that six million shares offered to its employees as part of its second global employee-shareholding plan were fully subscribed.
The six million newly-issued shares were subscribed at a price of 25.76 euros and carry rights to dividends distributed in respect of the period as from January 1, 2012. The corresponding capital increase, carried out on September 27, rises to 154.56 million euros and brings the number of shares comprising Capgemini's share capital to 161,770,362 on January 1, 2012.
This successful operation following a previous one in 2009 – which is a sign of confidence among the Group's employees in the future of Capgemini – results in a significant increase in employee ownership of Group capital, which reached almost 7% on September 27 compared with 3.4% on December 31, 2011: employees thus become one of the major shareholders of the Group. It is also testament to the evolution of the Group's geographical activities, with subscribers including those from two new countries: Brazil and Guatemala.
Paul Hermelin, Capgemini Chairman and CEO said: « The objective of this employee-shareholding plan was to associate, over the long-term, the greatest number of employees with the company's development and performance, while stabilizing our capital. We now rank among the top CAC 40 companies in terms of employee shareholding ».

By Virginia Harrison, MarketWatch
SYDNEY (MarketWatch) — Mining services and infrastructure companies are a smart bet for investors looking to broaden their exposure to Australia's resources boom, analysts say, although the impact of adverse weather may temper the short-term outlook.
A Deloitte Access report released this week said the sharp run-up in global commodity prices will help the Australian economy buffer the impact of natural disasters that hit the country earlier this year, and will help national income rise to 20 billion Australian dollars ($21.8 billion) for 2011-12.
"With the world licking its lips for our resources, our export earnings are, and will be, through the roof," the quarterly Business Outlook report stated.
The engineering, professional-services and construction sectors will be the leading ancillary winners to the commodity boom, it said.
"The sheer size of the surge in engineering work that is underway … seems set to propel construction to the top of the leader board in 2011. There is good news in business services too," the report said.
Deloitte Access said that much of that engineering construction work is "concentrated on getting Australia's resources riches to market out of the likes of Western Australia and Queensland."
Engineering play
A recent contract win for engineering and professional-services firm WorleyParsons Ltd. /quotes/zigman/315155/realtime AU:WOR -1.93% /quotes/zigman/315153/delayed/quotes/nls/wygpf WYGPF +2.68% has brightened analysts' take on the stock.
"WorleyParsons is a well-run consultancy, which is positioned to grow strongly in the years ahead, largely underpinned by increasing resource demands by developing countries and Worley's footprint in regions with strong resource prospects," analysts at Royal Bank of Scotland said in a research note.
The analysts said that while a recent A$250 million contract win to develop Fortescue Metal Group Ltd.'s /quotes/zigman/329628/realtime AU:FMG -1.83% in Western Australia's Anderson Point Port was positive, the firm does have a way to go to reach RBS's forecasts for normalized net-profit of A$396.5 million in 2012.
"The new Fortescue port contract as a good win, largely filling the gap left by the run-off in major projects in 2011. WorleyParsons has to win further work to achieve our 2012 forecasts," they said.
Sell in May? Not so fast!
Sell in May? Not so fast. Steve Quirk, head of the Trader Group at TD Ameritrade, says large-cap stocks hold appeal, and suggests buying portfolio insurance while it's cheap.
In Sydney trading on Friday, shares in WorleyParsons lost 2.8%, outpacing a 1.1% fall in the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 /quotes/zigman/1653884/realtime AU:XJO +0.04% as concern about the rising Australian dollar weighed on sentiment.
The drop in Australian equities outpaced losses elsewhere in Asian trading on Friday, as Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475/realtime HK:HSI +0.02% lost 0.5%, and South Korea's Kospi fell 0.6%, while Japanese markets were closed for a holiday.
Meanwhile, analysts at Morgan Stanley said in a recent research note that the swell in the number of capital raisings were a positive sign for the emerging companies in the mining-services sector.
This month, four mining service companies — Ausdrill Ltd. /quotes/zigman/133372/realtime AU:ASL -5.38% , Matrix Composites and Engineering Ltd. /quotes/zigman/575326/realtime AU:MCE +3.31% , NWR Holdings Ltd. /quotes/zigman/479012/realtime AU:NWH -0.43% , and Southern Cross Electrical Engineering Ltd. /quotes/zigman/489266/realtime AU:SXE -1.88% — have undertaken institutional placements raising a total of A$260 million, which the analysts described as "a further endorsement of the volume of work, and associated capital requirements, on the horizon."

NORMAN — After all the preseason panic about a handful of various position groups, who could've fathomed that Oklahoma's four-year starter and supposed bedrock would be its most culpable player in a lackluster three-game start to the season?
Oklahoma football: Landry Jones' poor throws, poor decisions led to loss to Kansas State
Saturday night, the Sooners' 2012 national-title hopes were dashed by Kansas State on Owen Field, and it wasn't because of an inexperienced offensive line. It wasn't because of a batch of young receivers, nor was it because of the much-maligned secondary that struggled so much in losses last season.
It was because of Landry Jones, the senior quarterback who made poor throws and poor decisions from OU's first offensive snap Saturday night and never improved.
On that first play, Jones was well-protected by his offensive line, but got happy feet, rolled unnecessarily to his left and tossed a pass across the middle behind Kenny Stills, who had to stop to make the catch.
After driving down the field, OU faced a first-and-goal play from Kansas State's 9-yard line. Jones had Brannon Green with nothing but the end zone in front of him, but missed the junior tight end badly by throwing behind him, negating a sure touchdown.
Jones completed five of eight pass attempts on that first series, but five of those attempts were thrown behind the intended target, and two more were overthrown. The only throw of the drive that seemed to go as planned? A no-gain screen to fullback Trey Millard.
It was on Oklahoma's third offensive series when Jones' happy feet and questionable decision-making caused the game's first touchdown — but for the other team.
On third-and-13, stuck deep in OU's own territory, Jones took a snap and — with good pocket protection — rolled to his right and into Kansas State's pressure. He retreated toward the end zone, where linebacker Justin Tuggle caught him from behind and forced a fumble.

Political misquotes: The 10 most famous things never actually said
Did Sarah Palin really say that she could see Russia from her house? Did Marie Antoinette really say 'Let them eat cake?' Learn the true story behind 10 of the most widely believed – but completely bogus – quotations misattributed to political figures.
2. "To get rich is glorious." – Deng Xiaoping
Western journalists in search of a shorthand for China's dramatic economic turnaround will almost invariably trot this one out. But, oddly enough, it doesn't show up much in Chinese publications, and nobody has managed to find the original source where Deng allegedly said it.
The phrase was popularized by the writer Orville Schell in his 1984 book "To Get Rich Is Glorious: China in the '80s." But Schell never actually attributed the words to Deng, telling the L.A. Times's Evelyn Iritani in 2004 that it merely "grew out of the zeitgeist" of China's economic reforms.
That said, it's almost impossible to verify or debunk any quotation attributed to a dead Chinese leader, as China's Communist Party is extraordinarily adept at revising history so that it meets the political needs of the present.

AFRICOM's Libyan Expedition
JONATHAN STEVENSON is Professor of Strategic Studies at the U.S. Naval War College and co-chair of its Africa Regional Studies Group.
See more by this authorUntil Operation Odyssey Dawn began in Libya on March 19, U.S. Africa Command -- the United States' newest combatant command, established in October 2008 -- was largely untested. There was reason to worry that AFRICOM, which would lead the operation, was too green, and its mandate too soft, for it to perform up to U.S. standards.
Yet in launching the U.S. intervention in Libya, AFRICOM, led by its commander, General Carter Ham, acquitted itself well. On the first day of the operation, it coordinated the combat operations of 11 American warships and dozens of aircraft, fired 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles, and delivered 45 Joint Direct Attack Munitions to ground targets. By March 23, AFRICOM-led coalition forces had steadily expanded the no-fly zone from northwest Libya and parts of central Libya to the entire coastline. And on March 26, AFRICOM began coordinating operations to destroy armored vehicles, effectively (if not with specific intent) providing close air support to rebel forces. AFRICOM lost only one aircraft -- an F-15 fighter that crashed on March 22 due to a mechanical malfunction -- and suffered no fatalities.
There was, however, political backlash to AFRICOM's active fighting role in the conflict. Although the three African non-permanent members of the UN Security Council -- Nigeria, South Africa, and Uganda -- had acquiesced to UN Resolution 1973, the bill that green-lighted the intervention, the African Union unequivocally opposed it. After the campaign began, the AU even tried to arrange a cease-fire, under which Libyan leader Muammar al Qaddafi would have opened channels for humanitarian aid and undertaken negotiations with the rebels but would also have been allowed to stay in power.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.John Lennon (via kari-shma)(vía quote-book)

Years of Citing Articles
We present a domain-independent model of hierarchical software system design and construction that is based on interchangeable software components and largescale reuse. The model unifies the conceptualizations of two independent projects, Genesis and Avoca, that are successful examples of software component/building-block technologies and domain modeling. Building-block technologies exploit large-scale reuse, rely on open architecture software, and elevate the granularity of programming to the subsystem level. Domain modeling formalizes the similarities and differences among systems of a domain. We believe our model is a blue-print for achieving software component technologies in many domains.

"We made a little Godfather joke," Jay-Z remembered. "We said the only way she could leave was through the window."
Only eight months later, in August 2005, Rihanna released her first single, "Pon de Replay," a reggae-influenced club track that skyrocketed to No. 2 on the Billboard singles chart and announced Rihanna as the next big up-and-coming pop star. Her first album, Music of the Sun, released later that month,
reached No. 10 on the Billboard albums chart and also featured the single "If It's Lovin' That You Want." Rihanna released her second album, A Girl Like Me, the next year, spawning two major hits in "Unfaithful" and "SOS," Rihanna's first No. 1 single.
'Good Girl Gone Bad'
In 2007, Rihanna effected a transformation from cute teen pop princess to fully fledged superstar and sex symbol with her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, fueled by its smash hit lead single "Umbrella," featuring Jay-Z. "It shows such growth for her as an artist," Jay-Z said about the track. "If you listen to the lyrics to that song, you know the depth and how far she's come."
"Umbrella" topped the Billboard singles chart and earned Rihanna her first Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. The album reached No. 2 on the charts and also featured the singles "Don't Stop the Music" and "Shut Up and Drive." Good Girl Gone Bad: The Remixes, released the following year, scored two new further hits in "Disturbia" and "Take a Bow."
Continuing her onslaught of hit albums, Rihanna released Rated R in 2009 with the singles "Hard" and "Rude Boy." Her 2010 album, Loud, was once again an enormous commercial and critical success behind the songs "What's My Name," "Only Girl (In the World)" and "S&M." Besides her own laundry list of hit songs, Rihanna is also featured on a host of mega hits by other artists, including Jay-Z's "Run this Town," Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie" and Kanye West's "All of the Lights."
In 2011, Rihanna released her sixth studio album: Talk That Talk. The album included the song "We Found Love," which features DJ Calvin Harris and won the 2013 Grammy Award for best short form music video.
Rumored Relationship
Rihanna has also made headlines in her personal life, although often for circumstances beyond her control. Rihanna first made gossip column headlines in 2006 when rumors swirled that she was having an affair with her mentor, Jay-Z. Both she and Jay-Z have always dismissed such allegations as ridiculous. "At first I was like, 'Ha ha, it's funny,'" Rihanna said. "Now I just ignore it and I'm numb to it. You cannot stop people from saying what they want to say."
Personal Life
In 2009, Rihanna again made headlines again, becoming the center of a media firestorm after a domestic violence incident in which her then-boyfriend Chris Brown assaulted her before an awards show. The incident sparked a huge public outpouring of support for Rihanna, and she has since become a spokesperson against domestic violence. "This happened to me," she said in an interview with Diane Sawyer.

Alabama Crimson Tide OVERALL: 6-2 (4-1 H, 0-1 A, 2-0 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) Alabama dropped its second straight game since beginning the year with a 6-0 mark, falling on a buzzer beater at No. 11 Cincinnati, 58-56, on Dec. 1 and to Dayton, 81-76, in Tuscaloosa Wednesday night. The Crimson Tide will now have 10 days between games, as it will next be in action on Saturday, Dec. 15, when UA travels to Richmond, Va., to square off with VCU. That contest will tip off at 3 p.m. CT (4 p.m. ET) and will be televised on CBS College Sports Network. Alabama and VCU will square off for the fifth time in series history, on Dec. 15. This will mark the second consecutive season the two teams will meet on the hardwood. Last year, the Crimson Tide defeated the Rams, 72-64, in Tuscaloosa, Ala. UA has never lost to VCU, owning a 4-0 advantage in the all-time series. The Dayton contest marked Alabama's only home game in the first three weeks of December. UA doesn't return home to Coleman Coliseum until Dec. 22 when it takes on the Mercer Bears. Dayton's 81 points on the Wednesday night marked the most point scored by any Alabama opponent this season. It is the fifth time during the Anthony Grant-era that a team has scored 80 or more points in a game, and the first time it has occurred in Coleman Coliseum during Grant's four seasons in Tuscaloosa. The last time that the Tide allowed a visiting team to score 80 points in Coleman Coliseum came on Feb. 21, 2009, when the Tide defeated Mississippi State, 87-85, in double overtime. The last time The Tide gave up 80 or more points in a losing effort occurred on Dec. 13, 2008 in an 86-78 overtime defeat to Texas A&M. Additionally, the last time Alabama allowed a team to score over 80 points in regulation and lose came on Jan. 29, 2008 when Tennessee defeated UA, 93-86. The loss to the Flyers marked the 10th time in 56 games that an Anthony Grant team has lost at Coleman Coliseum (46-10). It was also the first home defeat this season (4-1) and just the fourth defeat under Coleman Coliseum's arched roof in the last 40 contests (36-4). Arkansas Razorbacks OVERALL: 4-4 (4-1 H, 0-1 A, 0-2 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) The Razorbacks were 1-1 on the week with a victory over Oklahoma, 81-78, and a loss at No. 3/3 Michigan, 80-67. Marshawn Powell was Arkansas' leading scorer in both games (33, 18) and for the week averaged 25.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game while hitting 55.9 percent from the floor and 60 percent from three. Powell's 33 points in the game against Oklahoma were a career high as were his four three-point baskets. Powell became the first Razorback since February to score 30-plus points in a game and was the first Arkansas player since the 2011 season to hit for at least 33. Kikko Haydar came off the bench in the Michigan game to score a career high 13 points, he was 4-of-4 from three-point range and set career highs for minutes, field goals made, field goals attempted, three-pointers made, three-pointers attempted and offensive rebounds. Haydar went 5-of-5 from three for the week. Hunter Mickelson notched four blocks on the week, two in each game and has blocked shots in three straight contests and five of the last six to bring his career total to 81 making him the 13th Razorback player to block 80 shots in a career. Mardracus Wade was 3-of-7 (.429) from three-point range on the week after opening the year 4-14 (.286), Wade led the SEC in three-point percentage as a sophomore at 47.6 percent. As a team Arkansas forced Oklahoma and Michigan to commit 29 turnovers which led to 34 Razorback points. For the year, Arkansas has forced 140 turnovers (17.5 per game) and have a +6.6 turnover margin. Arkansas has turned those 140 turnovers into 184 points on the year for an average of 23.0 per game. Arkansas takes a break for finals this week before heading back to the court on Saturday, Dec. 15, when it hosts Alcorn State at Bud Walton Arena. Auburn Tigers OVERALL: 2-5 (1-2 H, 1-1 A, 0-2 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) This is the fifth meeting between the Tigers with Auburn winning the previous four games. Three of the wins came in Auburn with the most recent being a 63-45 victory on Dec. 31, 2010. The neutral site victory came in a 105-56 thrashing in Huntsville on Nov. 29, 2003. Auburn head coach Tony Barbee is 1-0 coaching against Grambling State with the win coming in a 63-45 victory on Dec. 31, 2010, in Auburn Arena. Auburn will have a 10-day layoff between games following the DePaul loss on Nov. 30 for final exams. Auburn returns for four home games in 11 days leading up to the holidays beginning with Grambling State on Dec. 11, Furman on Dec. 15, Tennessee Tech on Dec. 18 and Winthrop on Dec. 22. Auburn is 22-0 all-time against SWAC teams. Frankie Sullivan leads the SEC averaging 19.7 points per game and that is without playing the final 15:13 of the game vs. Murray State when he ran after a loose ball and crashed into the scorer's table and suffered a cut on his shooting arm that required 20 stitches. He only had seven points vs. the Racers. Sullivan has scored more than 20 points in five of Auburn's games this season, including a career-high 28 points vs. DePaul on Nov. 30 on 4-of-7 three-point shooting. A game after the injury playing with a wrap on his shooting arm, Sullivan scored a game-high 24 points, including 20 in the second half, in the 55-51 win over College of Charleston in the Charleston Classic. Sullivan went 9-of-18 from the field and 2-of-5 from 3-point range to go along with five rebounds, two assists and two steals. Sullivan scored a game-high 23 points and had five assists vs. Dayton on Nov. 18. The Uniontown, Ala., native had a game-high 23 points for the second straight game at Boston College, where he scored 15 in the second half, including 11 of the team's first points in the period. Florida Gators OVERALL: 7-0 (5-0 H, 1-0 A, 1-0 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) The University of Florida men's basketball improved to 7-0 on the season with a 72-47 victory at Florida State on Wednesday, December 5. In their first true road game of the year, Florida dealt their in-state rival the most-lopsided defeat in series history in games played in Tallahassee. Senior guards Kenny Boynton and Mike Rosario scored 14 points each to lead the Gators. Boynton moved into fifth place on UF's career scoring list with his first three points of the night, as well. Junior Patric Young added 10 points and eight rebounds, his fourth consecutive game scoring in double figures. Freshman Michael Frazier II registered 12 points, all in the second half. As a team, Florida recorded 14 steals, which marks the most this season. Junior Scottie Wilbekin recorded five steals, a career-best. In addition, for the fifth time this season, UF never trailed against its opponent. For the third-straight week, Florida will play one game. The Gators will travel west as they take on No. 8 Arizona on Saturday, December 15 in Tucson, Ariz. This will mark the second time this season UF takes on an opponent ranked in top-25 and the first game against a top-10 opponent. Georgia Bulldogs OVERALL: 2-6 (2-2 H, 0-2 A, 0-2 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) Georgia pulled to within five points with just two minutes remaining in the game, but the late Bulldog run wasn't enough to defeat Georgia Tech as the Yellow Jackets were victorious 62-54 Tuesday night at McCamish Pavilion. Georgia constructed a 10-3 run late in the second half to trail 55-50, but the Yellow Jackets' senior guard Mfon Udofia completed a three-point play to end the Bulldog run and put the game out of reach. Georgia was led sophomore guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope who had 16 points and 13 rebounds in his first double-double performance of his career. Freshman guard Brandon Morris came off the bench to contribute nine points and four rebounds, both career-highs. The Yellow Jackets took a 35-22 lead into halftime behind six three-point shots and 11 free throws. Georgia connected on just one-of-nine three-pointers and went only three-of-five from the free throw stripe in the half. Georgia out rebounded (43-to-38) and outscored the Yellow Jackets from the paint (30-to-10), but Georgia Tech connected on nine three-point shots on the night, while Georgia shot just 2-of-17 from the behind the arc. Georgia Tech was paced offensively by Udofia and freshman forward Marcus Georges-Hunt and who had 12 and 18 points, respectively. Junior Center Daniel Miller led the Yellow Jackets with eight rebounds. Following a break for final exams, Georgia will return to action on Dec. 15 against the Iona Gaels at Stegeman Coliseum. Kentucky Wildcats OVERALL: 6-3 (5-1 H, 0-1 A, 1-1 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) The Kentucky men's basketball team secured a pair of non-conference home victories this week with wins over Samford on Tuesday and Portland on Saturday. It was the third-straight year UK had met the Pilots in regular-season action with the Blue and White winning all three meetings. Freshman Willie Cauley-Stein sparked the win over Samford with the first double-double of the year for the Cats. Cauley-Stein logged 12 points and a career-high 12 rebounds in that win. Against Portland the Wildcats were spearheaded by the best performance of the season from sophomore Ryan Harrow who had season-highs with 10 points, four rebounds and six assists. Freshmen Archie Goodwin and Nerlens Noel provided consistent performances yet again for UK. Goodwin led the team in scoring in both outings and logged four assists in both games to run his total to six-straight games with four or more dimes. Noel had seven points, nine rebounds and a career-high seven blocks against Portland. He had 12 swats on the weekend for an average of 6.0 per game. Kentucky will take a week off for exams before welcoming Lipscomb to Rupp Arena on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET. LSU Tigers OVERALL: 5-0 (5-0 H, 0-0 A, 0-0 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) The Tigers return to play after a long final exam break with a Tuesday night game against Chattanooga. LSU enters the game 5-0 and one of 14 D1 teams that remain undefeated entering the week. Following the Chattanooga game, LSU embarks on a three-game road trip, all the back half of home-and-home sets that LSU won at the Maravich Center a year ago. LSU plays at Boise on Dec. 14, UC-Irvine on Dec. 18 and Marquette on Dec. 22. The Marquette game will be televised by ESPNU. LSU won its SEC-Big East Challenge games for the second straight year in its last outing on Nov. 29, coming from 16-points down in the final 16:39 to win 72-67 over Seton Hall at the Maravich Center. The Tigers got 18 points from Shavon Coleman off the bench, while Johnny O'Bryant III had his second straight double double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Anthony Hickey and Andre Stringer had 10 points each. Charles Carmouche had 7 assists and four steals. LSU trailed 35-27 at the half and was outscored 13-5 to open the half to trail, 48-32 at the 16:39 mark. LSU would outscored the Pirates, 40-19, the rest of the way. LSU last year defeated Rutgers in New Jersey in the Challenge. Ole Miss Rebels OVERALL: 6-1 (6-0 H, 0-1 A, 0-0 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) Ole Miss dropped its first game of the season on Saturday 65-62 at Middle Tennessee. Junior Marshall Henderson led the Rebels with a game-high 17 points including 15 in the second half. Ole Miss, which led the nation in turnover margin coming into to the game committed a season-high 18 turnovers in the contest. Ole Miss continues to lead the conference in scoring (83.4 ppg) and ranks second in field goal percentage defense (.354). Senior Murphy Holloway also leads the league in rebounding at 10.1 rpg while Henderson ranks first in 3-point FG made (3.7 pg). This week the Rebels will host East Tennessee State on Friday in Oxford as part of the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic and look to extend their home-winning streak to seven game to start the year. Mississippi State Bulldogs OVERALL: 3-5 (3-0 H, 0-2 A, 0-3 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) Mississippi State and Loyola are meeting for just the second time and the first time in Chicago. The first meeting was 50 years ago at the NCAA Tournament in East Lansing, Mich., with the Ramblers winning 61-51 in the opening round en route to winning the national championship. The 1963 game marked the first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history for MSU. MSU is 4-3 all-time against Horizon League foes, with the last meeting coming at Detroit a year ago. The Bulldogs won, 80-75. Against Texas-San Antonio, senior forward Wendell Lewis scored a career-high 20 points, a performance that came one game after he recorded a double-double (16 points, 11 rebounds) at Providence. Against the Roadrunners, Lewis connected on 8 of his 9 field goals (.889), the best shooting percentage since Rodney Hood was 8 of 9 last year against UT-Martin. Prior to that, the highest percentage (with 8 minimum attempts) was Jarvis Varnado's 8-of-8 outing in the season opener against Rider on 11-13-09. Against UTSA, MSU allowed just 42 points and just 15 made field goals, the fewest since yielding the same marks earlier this year against Alcorn State. The Bulldogs' bench has proven to be quite productive this year, as it's averaging 20.3 points an outing. When leading at the half, MSU is 3-0 on the year. Fred Thomas' 11.1 scoring average currently ranks 8th all-time in the freshman record books. MISSOURI TIGERS OVERALL: 8-1 (6-0 H, 0-0 A, 2-1 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) Mizzou improved to 8-1 on the season to mark the third consecutive season and fourth time in five years the Tigers started the year 8-1. The win improved Mizzou's consecutive non-conference home game win streak to 71, dating back to early in the 2005-06 season. The Tigers are now 14-0 in home non-conference games under Head Coach Frank Haith. All 14 of the victories have been by double figures. Mizzou is in the midst of a 23-game winning streak in the month of December. The Tigers have not lost in December since Dec. 9, 2009. That streak in December is the second longest in college basketball. Tennessee State's 38 points were the fewest the Tigers have allowed since a 87-36 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson on Dec. 12, 2009. The Tigers grabbed 52 rebounds in the contest to mark the eighth time in nine games Mizzou has at least 40 in a game and the third time they had at least 50. The Tigers entered the game ranked fourth nationally with 45.0 rebounds per contest. Mizzou held Tennessee State to 38 points on 23.8 percent (15-63) shooting from the floor, both season lows for Tiger opponents. South Carolina Gamecocks OVERALL: 6-3 (4-2 H, 0-1 A, 2-0 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) South Carolina snapped a two-game losing streak with a 91-74 victory vs. Jacksonville last Friday in the final contest before a 12-day break for final exams. Carolina shot a stellar 55.4 percent (31-56) from the floor in the contest, holding the Dolphins to just 38.2 percent (26-68), including just 15 percent (3-20) from 3-point range. The Gamecocks hit 62 percent (10-16) from beyond the arc, paced by junior guard Brian Richardson with a perfect 4-of-4 effort, and junior guard Brenton Williams adding four 3s as well. Carolina continued its streak of out-rebounding opponents, holding a 42-31 advantage on the boards in the contest. Freshman forward Michael Carrera was just one rebound shy of his third double-double of the season with a team-best 17 points and nine rebounds, all on the defensive glass. Junior guard Eric Smith matched a career high with seven assists in the contest, while committing just one turnover in 24 minutes played. South Carolina will be back in action on Dec. 19 when it hosts Appalachian State. Tennessee Volunteers OVERALL: 4-3 (2-0 H, 0-2 A, 2-1 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) The Tennessee Volunteers (4-3) suffered a 46-38 setback at Virginia last week, giving the Big Orange their first back-to-back losses of the season. After consecutive road games against the Cavaliers and the Georgetown Hoyas (37-36 loss on Nov. 30), UT now hunkers down for a six-game homestand that stretches into early January. That homestand begins Thursday when the Vols host undefeated and 24th-ranked Wichita State (9-0) at Thompson-Boling Arena (7 p.m. ET, FOX Sports South). Sophomore forward Jarnell Stokes continues to lead the Vols in both scoring (11.9 ppg), rebounding (7.9 rpg) and field-goal percentage (.561). Junior point guard Trae Golden averages 11.6 points and 4.6 assists per game. As a team, Tennessee is shooting .422 from the field, .302 from 3-point range and .628 from the free-throw line. The Vols own a +4.4 scoring margin, a +4.9 rebounding margin and have held their last three opponents to an average of 44.3 points per game. Tennessee's bench has outscored its opponent's bench in each of the last six games. Senior guard Skylar McBee was honored by his high school Saturday, as Grainger High School in McBee's hometown of Rutledge, Tenn., retired his No. 4 jersey. McBee scored 2,362 points during his prep career. This is Fall Semester finals week at UT. TEXAS A&M AGGIES OVERALL: 7-1 (5-0 H, 1-0 A, 1-1 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) The Aggies won their fourth straight contest last Wednesday, defeating previously unbeaten Stephen F. Austin 62-54 to improve to 7-1 on the season. Texas A&M continued its dominance of non-conference opponents at Reed Arena, where it is 105-10 (.913) against non-league foes since 1998. The Aggie bench outscored its SFA counterparts by the count of 31-6 and were led by freshman guard J'Mychal Reese who tied a career high with 15 points in the win by going 5-of-8 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free throw line. Senior forward Ray Turner also chipped in 15 points, marking the 25th time during his four-year A&M career he's hit the double-figure mark in scoring. The Aggies' leading scorer, senior guard Elston Turner, missed time during the first half with an ankle injury, but returned to score eight second half points to give him 10 for the game, extending his double-digit scoring streak to eight games. Following the SFA game, the Aggie took a 10-day layoff while its student-athletes took final exams. A&M's next contest will come on Dec. 15 when it travels to Oklahoma City's Chesapeake Energy Arena to face Oklahoma during the All-College Classic. The match-up with the Sooners will be the first scheduled regular season match-up between an A&M team and a school from the Big 12 Conference since the Aggies left the league for the SEC this summer. Vanderbilt Commodores OVERALL: 3-4 (0-1 H, 1-1 A, 1-2 N) SEC: 0-0 (0-0 H, 0-0 A) The Commodores improved to 3-4 on the season with a 66-64 overtime win at Xavier on December 6. The Commodores won their first ever game against Xavier and are now 1-5 all time against the Musketeers. Vanderbilt is now 1-2 all-time in games played at Xavier. The win over Xavier was Vanderbilt's first true road win of the season, and the first overtime win in their last seven tries. The Commodores' last overtime win before the Xavier win was a 96-94 win over Georgia on February 25, 2010, at Memorial Gym, and the last overtime win on the road since December 12, 2007, when the Commodores defeated DePaul, 91-85, at Allstate Arena. Vanderbilt junior guard Kyle Fuller scored a career-high 25 points and scored all 12 of the Commodores' points in overtime. He also added five assists, four rebounds, and three steals. Fuller's 25-point effort was Vanderbilt's third 25+-point individual game of the season. Kedren Johnson has the other two (25 vs. Nicholls State, 28 vs. Davidson). Sophomore guard Kedren Johnson scored 19 points, the sixth time in seven games this season he has scored in double figures. Johnson added four rebounds, four steals, three assists, and two blocks in 41 minutes. Freshman wing Kevin Bright notched his second consecutive double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Bright is the first Commodore to tally consecutive double-doubles since Festus Ezeli (at Alabama, 1/19/2012; vs. MIss. State, 1/22/2012). He's the first freshman to have consecutive double-doubles since A.J. Ogilvy in 2007. The score was tied five times and the lead changed seven times. Vanderbilt's largest lead came at four with 1:10 to go in overtime, and the Commodores had a lead of 10-9 early in the first half and did not regain the lead again until overtime. The Commodores trailed by as many as 13 points early in the second half.

Blue Apron Restaurant and Red Rooster Bar expects to open this week
Last November, Salem husband and wife Scott and Ashley Tayloe Switzer found themselves on the sidewalk at 210/212 East Main Street in Salem, peering into a vacant storefront, wondering about the right place to start Scott's first restaurant. He's a Culinary Institute of America grad and came back to Roanoke as the head chef of Metro.
Early this December, they will open The Blue Apron Restaurant and Red Rooster Bar in that very spot. It's planned to be a cozy upscale restaurant and college downtown bar all in one, separated by a wall and kitchen, connected by a carefully designed entrance.
The menu is geared towards "authentic, modern, classic, American" with a nod to the European side of things. Scott will integrate local farm-raised product in his dishes as much as he can, especially when crops come into season, he said.
"I want lunch to be pretty vivacious," he said of the 45-seat eatery. "Every college town that I've ever been to had at least one, if not two, small little upscale places [that are] fun, high energy, packed, and served upscale food."
"Sizewise, it was just right for what Scott wanted to do, and it had good 'bones,'" said Ashley, the architect of the two. She works with Balford Beatty Construction as an assistant project manager.
The European side of things, food-wise, comes from Scott's culinary education, but a fondness for France, also expressed in much of Ashley's design, comes from where he proposed to her – atop the Eiffel Tower.
"It was a good opportunity for her to jump in with two feet on a remodeling project that needs a lot of savvy," Scott said. The inside was completely gutted and redone, but with attention to the circa 1880 building's original structure.
Double doors found in the former back wall were restored and placed in the front of the restaurant. The outline of a mantel in the now-dish room is recognized by a faux mantel in the dining room. The tin-style ceiling, which was almost completely water damaged and behind several other layers of ceiling, is now honored in the ceiling's paint scheme.
Some of the wooden table bases even come from the Patrick Henry Hotel in Roanoke – the old Fort Lewis Hotel (demolished in 1974) used to sit just beside the restaurant, where there is parking lot now.
"I think being sensitive to the past, to its historical references and trying to restore those references," is important, she said.

How do you draw a comparison between Tanguay and Samsonov dude??..."in fact, Tanguay is the new Samsonov". What's the expression, something about apples and oranges?? Or is it Ladas and BMWs?? In any case, you are incredibly wrong on that assessment.

Bob's exact words when asked what type of player he was looking for were, verbatim: "an impact player, yep." We gotta keep in mind though that what Bob might call or think of as an "impact player" may not necessarily be an elite player or superstar. However, people just seem to be assuming that he meant an elite player or superstar. Personally I think he will make a move, but it will be something out of left field, expected or anticipated by no one, and one that will ultimately help the team in the now and in the future without too much disruption to the fabulous chemistry that has been building this season. Chemistry...1 of 2 reasons for last night's miraculous comeback. The other reason, of course, was the Bell Center crowd. The city should be proud after that one. - Comment on Game 61: Habs win on miraculous comeback (2008-02-19 16:15:38)
I agree. I play goalie and knucklepucks are the WORST shots to handle. They seem to have minds of their own. They look as though they're heading right into the glove, and then outta nowhere the red light behind ya comes on and you're like "WTF? How'd that happen?"

This idea has merit and it seems one of those "outta left field" moves BG would pull off too. I'd be for it, but only as a rental player. In no way should he get a contract for next season from the Habs if this move should happen. - Comment on Three pucks … and counting (2008-02-16 14:22:08)

The Meguiar's-certified technicians at Redlands Car Wash & Detail Center spruce up hot rods with Belanger technology and an armory of chemical and tactical advantages. With each journey through the wash tunnel, a fusion of neo-glide foam pads and Lavaggio cleaning products gently jostles exteriors free of dirt, tar, and fake VIN-numbers. Technicians preserve paint jobs from the sun and elements with extensive hand waxes, and ensure auto bodies are only dried by the soft swaths of microfiber hand towels.
At each of its three locations, Auto Collision Solutions restores dusty and damaged autos and RVs to their former glory with thorough detailing treatments and a multistep restoration and repair process. As a direct repair shop, the esteemed business has earned the right to broker directly with insurance companies, handling all ordering, estimate writing, and repairs in a streamlined process, eliminating the need to wait for an adjuster or pay dues to the Worshipful Company of Insurance Middlemen. Technicians conduct a free estimate, and courtesy shuttles or rental cars whisk customers to home or work while licensed mechanics renew all makes of engines and auto bodies. Techs undo collision damage via a precise, computerized color-matching process before scrubbing up the inside, exterior, and tires with extensive detailing.
Do or Dye 5K Color Run Temecula can be whatever you make of it—casual participants can walk the untimed course, simply looking forward to the beer garden that awaits them at the end; more serious runners can track their own time, stopping at the optional CrossFit stations and obstacle courses along the way. But no matter your level of participation, everyone meets in the Color Lifestyle Village at the end to toss eco-friendly colored powder at each other's race T-shirts and costumes. And registered runners can feel good about their performance whether or not they achieved a personal best: through donations and race registrations, the Do or Dye organization has raised more than 1 million dollars for charities such as the Make-a-Wish Foundation and the Ronald McDonald House.
No matter how exotic, no car, truck, or SUV is ever turned away at Automotive City, where the technicians offer full-service repairs on all vehicular makes and models. They've provided thorough service since 2010, tuning up cars from moonroofs to tires. When not deftly dealing with complex repairs, techs provide routine-maintenance services, such as oil changes and wheel alignments.

Few kinds of opinion poll produce more opaque data than those about ethnicity and nationality. The latest, by ICM for the BBC's Asian Network, exemplifies their capacity for begging basic questions rather than generating useful answers. "The research among the under-34s for the Asian Network found 38% of the UK residents of South Asian origin felt only slightly or not at all British," announced Auntie Online, selecting this finding as the most newsworthy. I see why this was thought exciting, given all the fretting about integration and the deep rumblings about "Britishness" emitted by the new PM constantly. But what does this bare-naked stat really reveal?
Here's the question that inspired the Beeb's headline:
"Thinking about your nationality, to what extent do you feel British?"
The answers showed that 28% of young (South) Asians felt "completely" British, 31% "a lot" British, 27% "a little" British and 11% "not at all". This compared with 48%, 25%, 19% and 7% for "whites" in the same young adult age group. While the difference deserves note, the key term the question trades in means such different things to different people it's hard to know what to make of their replies.
For some young Asian Britons to "feel British" might refer to having been born in Britain or holding a British passport. To others it might be shorthand for certain long-standing customs practised in Britain, such as eating roast beef on Sundays or drinking a lot of beer - things plenty of them don't go in for. As for the white people questioned, simply being white would have been enough for many to answer "completely". What it means to "feel British" is a notion so abstract and triggering such subjective interpretations that it defies the efforts of most people in Britain to pin it down, whatever their roots or ethnicity. Responses to the ICM question surely varied accordingly. Like Britishness itself, such exercises are mired in confusion by and of definition.
This isn't to say we shouldn't care that young Asians' identification with the label "British" is low relative to that of whites: for some this may be a way of expressing disaffection, a cause for urgent concern among any social group. Nor is it to dismiss some of the survey's other findings about Asians, notably those addressing the theme of belonging by other means: questions about satisfaction with life in Britain - 84% "very" or "quite" satisfied - or the "coconut" issue, discussed here by Sarfraz Manzoor.
But it remains the case that the media and politicians' preoccupation with bigging-up Britishness, even in the rebranded form Gordon Brown promotes, is of questionable value as a unifying force and risks becoming a populist distraction from the vital task of nurturing social solidarity, rather than a means to achieving that end. Patriotism and good citizenship often overlap but they are not the same thing. Asians in Britain know better than most that some of the most vile and divisive people in Britain are those who shove their Britishness in your face, while the stoutest pillars of some neighbourhoods in Britain don't "feel British" at all. Give me a nation of people who pay their taxes, honour democracy and treat each other with respect and I couldn't care less how British they "feel". They'll personify the best things about Britain anyway.

Pal says David Petraeus admits 'screwing up' over morally reprehensible extra-marital affair
General David Petraeus, who has stepped down as director of the CIA over an extramarital affair, has said he "screwed up big-time," a close friend has said.
"You know, he expressed deep regret for what happened, the damage he had done and the pain he had caused his family," Retired Colonel Peter Mansoor, who served with Petraeus in Iraq, said.
"He called his action morally reprehensible and said, in his words, 'I screwed up big-time.' And boy did he ever," he added.
According to Politico, Mansoor, speaking on CNN's "Out Front", said that Petraeus loved his position at the CIA.
"He really enjoyed his job at the CIA, it was the best job in the world, as far as he was concerned," Mansoor said.
"He had a good relationship with the president and national security team, and he threw that all away for and #65533;due to a personal failing. He is very, very down right now," he added.
After Petraeus stepped down Friday afternoon, a series of reports surfaced, indicating that Petraeus was ensnared in more than just an extramarital affair.
His former mistress, Paula Broadwell, who was also his biographer, was reportedly the subject of an FBI probe.
She had sent a series of threatening emails to a female friend of Petraeus's.
Broadwell got to know him and his "inner circle" while working on a dissertation, Mansoor said, before ultimately writing the book "All In: The Education of David Petraeus."
Mansoor met Broadwell through her work with Petraeus.
"Well, she struck me as a supremely confident, fairly attractive, physically fit woman with a huge agenda," Mansoor, who met her in the summer of 2009, said.
Mansoor added that he didn't understand why Petraeus gave Broadwell the extensive access she received when she decided to write the book, the report added.

Accommodation for 2014-15
University accommodation has got so much to offer (all inclusive rents, convenient locations, varied contract lengths and a safe and secure environment) which has resulted in a large number of students applying to stay in university accommodation for their second and third years. Unfortunately for 2014/15 we currently have no availability at this stage.
If you decide to apply for accommodation at this time, your application will be held on our records in case the situation changes. However, we are unable to guarantee that any accommodation will become available and if it does, this is only likely to be the case nearer to the start of the academic year in September 2014.
In the meantime, there is plenty of alternative accommodation with a wide range of options available from purpose built accommodation to shared houses in the private sector. You can access a full list via Studentpad which is updated regularly.
For 2014/15 returning students are able to apply for Birks Grange Village Studios on either 40 or 51 week contract lengths. Prices are detailed below:
Residence | Room | Weekly | Contract | Total |
Birks Grange Village | Studio | £147.21 | 40 | £5,888.40 |
Birks Grange Village | Studio | £147.21 | 51 | £7,507.71 |
Supported Applications
The University recognises that some students may have particular accommodation requirements – for example, relating to a disability or health issue – which may best be met through living in a University residence. If you require a room in University accommodation for a welfare reason, this will not be automatically allocated to you, even if you are currently in residence.
You will need to apply for accommodation by Friday 31 January 2014, and your application should be supported by the relevant Student Support service. Please contact us for more details or if you require assistance in making your application.

Darby Meinecke, who will run track and cross country at Saginaw Valley, and Jenn Steinaway, who will play soccer at Grand Valley, are lifelong friends who laugh as they reassure each other that their friendship transcends the rivalry between the schools. / TIM ROBINSON/DAILY PRESS & ARGUS
From left, Ben Calandrino, Darren Ford, Hannah Reich, John Brennan and Jack Herndel all have signed to continue their athletic careers at the college level. / COURTESY OF HOWELL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The first Wednesday in February is always a big one with high school students looking to move to the next level.
For those recruited by Division I and Division II schools, its the first signing day after fall sports have been completed, a morning of signing papers and finding a fax machine to get them to their chosen schools as early as possible.
Its a long process, said Howells John Brennan, who considered the Air Force Academy and the Ivy League before deciding on signing to play football at Hillsdale. Im happy its over and Im happy with my choice.
He was one of five Howell athletes who gathered for photos to mark the milestone.
One, wrestler Ben Caladrino, signed with Eastern Michigan University in November but was included in the ceremony.
He will join his brother, Alex, another Howell standout who currently competes for the Eagles.
He comes back every once in a while and hell coach me, Ben Calandrino said. Everything helps.
Calandrino considered Drexel and some Division II schools, but Eastern Michigan was always the main draw, and the chance to spend two more years as his brothers teammate was enticing.
It wasnt necessarily about that, Calandrino said of the Eastern connection, but it was hard to disregard it.
Kyle Seychel of Hartland, whose father Chris played hockey at U-M on Red Berensens first team, will attend football camp as a preferred walk-on.
Seychel, a kicker who switched to football after a long soccer career, said he sent film to U-M of his kicks and got a call back the next day.
I loved playing soccer, but I always kicked the ball over the net, he said. My mom said, one day, why not think about kicking a football? And it worked out.
And, if all goes well, Seychel, who wants to major in aerospace engineering, might be kicking for U-M on a fall Saturday in the near future.
Another kicker of repute, Darren Ford of Howell, signed with Saginaw Valleys football team as a kicker.
No quarterback, he said, smiling, unless its a fake field goal.
Ford was the Highlanders quarterback last season, and also is a baseball standout.
Right now, though, he plans to be a kicker in college.
Hell be joined at SVSU by Pinckneys Darby Meinecke, who will run track for the Cardinals.
Im relieved that I figured it out so early, said Meinecke, who plans to study nursing while running distances and cross country.
She posed for a signing photo with her best friend, Jenn Steinaway, who signed with SVSUs arch rival, Grand Valley, to play soccer.
She is selfless, Pinckney coach Joel Lindblade said. She plays every game in goal, makes big saves, and when we need her to, she goes out on the field and is a top-two player on the field.
Steinaway plans to major in physical therapy.
Another soccer player, Hannah Reich of Howell, has committed to Division III Ohio Northern.
Its in Ada, Ohio. Its a small town. A lot of cornfields, she said, laughing.
Reich plans to major in either athletic training or physical therapy while playing on a team ranked in the top 50 in Division III.
Another Howell athlete who has committed but not signed yet is bowler Jack Herndel, who said he will be officially signing with top-ranked Wichita State in the next few days.
I went to the campus in June to bowl, and from then on stayed in touch with them and filled out my paperwork.
Signing day marked the first time athletes could formalize the commitments they made, where applicable.
More Livingston County athletes will be signing in the coming weeks as the snow (some day) melts away and spring signifies new beginnings.
