Hey, George "No Show" Jones: take a closer walk with Thee. You've earned it.
Yes: The Ol' Possum – the greatest honky tonk singer of them all – passed away today at 81 – years and even decades after fans, friends, family and industry insiders would have believed possible. Indeed, way back when, before Jones mercifully achieved sobriety, his appetites for alcohol and sundry drugs were astounding. If there had been a textbook on how to get loaded, the Jones chapter would have caused folks like Hunter Thompson and Malcolm Lowry to shudder and slink away like sick rats from a bright light.
Regardless of whether Jones' addictions fueled his innate sorrow or the other way around, there's no question some kernel of melancholy was part of the singer's DNA – and enabled him to infuse his gifted and distinctive voice with a weighty ache that turned two-minute drinking and cheating songs into Life Anthems.
If there was any justice, millions of us today would hop on riding lawn mowers, ramble down to our neighborhood liquor stores, and get a six-pack to drink in remembrance of you. George: we do NOT stop loving you today.

We offer fast and simple Short Term Loans. There's no paperwork and no phone calls. Simply apply online.
We cover your temporary cash flow problems, helping you avoid bank or credit card charges, pay unexpected bills or even treat yourself when you know payday is just around the corner..
There are no awkward questions, upfront fee or credit agency to worry about, just simple qualification criteria and an instant decision.
Payday loans are essentially a short term solution when your cash flow doesn't meet your immediate needs. Payday loans or cash advances are suitable for all kinds of people who need to finance something quickly, but they are not suitable for long term finance solutions. If unexpected expenses arise then short term loans are ideal. They are often approved and paid very quickly by simply filling in an online form with basic details. As these loans are generally provided on trust. As trust levels increases, more can be borrowed.
The typical representative APR is 1734%. A representative example would be to borrow £50 for 30 days. The total charge for credit is £14.75. Interest is fixed at a rate of £14.75 per £50 loan. The Total Repayable is £64.75.
Our lenders understand there can be times when you are unable to repay your loan in full when it is due. If you find yourself in this situation the lenders will normally consider giving you an extension of the loan. However, before they do they will need to assess whether offering an extension will adversely affect your financial situation. The loan will not be automatically renewed unless specifically stipulated by the lender. You will need to discuss this with your lender as soon as you are aware that you will not be able to repay the loan. If they agree to roll your loan over, you will typically only be required to repay the interest. The original amount borrowed will be 'rolled over' into a new loan which you will need to repay when you next get paid. Extensions, partial payment and early payoff requests must normally be received at least three working days before you are due to repay the loan.
Rolling over payments
It may be possible to 'roll over' payments. The interest on this will likely be the same as on missed payments, however it may help you avoid penalty charges. We always recommend repaying on time.
Repeated loans
If you find that you are repeatedly taking out payday loans (especially if you are constantly increasing the amounts), then you may be misusing them. Please consider independent advice and taking a serious look at your budget. There are companies who specialise in Payday Loan debt solutions but please contact us if you need help.
As a condition of extending credit, some lenders you may be matched with will run a credit check from a major credit reporting bureau. Please be aware that in some cases of non/late payment you may be reported to a credit rating agency which could negatively affect your credit score/rating. Our lenders understand there can be times when you are unable to repay your loan in full when it is due. If you find yourself in this situation the lenders will normally consider giving you an extension of the loan. However, before they do they will need to assess whether offering an extension will adversely affect your financial situation.
Implications of Late Payment: Depending on the lender we match you with, should you fail to make the repayment within 24 hours of its due date you will be charged a set amount to be added to your account. Other charges may be applicable to this agreement depending on the lender but below are some of the scenarios we have seen in the past.
1. The Lender writes to you, due to a failed repayment of your loan on the date specified above, at £10.00 per time.
2. The Lender makes, or attempt to make, contact with you by telephone or text message regarding the failed repayment of your Loan, at £5 per time.
3. The Lender may mail you regarding the failed repayment of your Loan, at £5 per time.
4. The Lender may reserve the right to make a daily charge of £1 for any unsuccessful Debit Card attempts to take a payment that is overdue.
5. You change address without notifying the lender accordingly, a tracing fee up to a maximum of £50 may be applied to cover their expenses.
Implications of Non Payment: Should your account continuously remain non-paid then:
1. The Lender may issue a Default Notice due to continued non-payment, at no extra cost.
2. The Lender may apply for a County Court Judgment via Money Claim on Line as part of our collection process.
3. In taking steps to enforce, or attempting to enforce, our rights under this Loan agreement, any other reasonable costs incurred by the Lender. Interest will be charged at the rate detailed in the terms and conditions both before and after any Court Judgment, from the date payment is due until the date that payment is made in full.
4. The lender may request enforcement of any County Court Judgment, in the form of an Attachment of Earnings Order or Warrant of Executions, all court costs will be added to the total amount repayable.
In November 2012, the Office of Fair Trading updated their Debt Collection guidelines. It is important that you know that companies cannot force you to repay more than you can comfortably afford each month and if you make a reduced payment, companies should not refuse it. For the full guidelines
Quick and simple
Short term loans - no paperwork & no phone calls.
What does it cost?
You will be charged a flat interest rate for your loan. Nice and easy, no confusion.

About Blue Lake
Though founded years earlier, the city itself was incorporated in 1910 and has a current estimated population of 1135 living in an area of around .6 square miles. The city has a small downtown business district as well as an industrial park, but most residents are employed outside of town, primarily in the nearby cities of Arcata and Eureka.
The city does offer a small café, bar, bed & breakfast inn, brewery, and spa with overnight accommodations. In addition, there is a well-maintained park with modern children's play area. The city can be considered a gateway to the Mad River Fish Hatchery just 2 miles southwest of town.
The City of Blue Lake is located in the Mad River Valley 300 miles north of San Francisco in Humboldt County, California. Due to the construction of a levee, the Mad River no longer floods the adjacent lowlands so the "Lake" in Blue Lake has been reduced to a seasonal pond of 1 acre or so in size.

Henri Rousseau was born on May 21, 1844, in Laval, France. While working as a toll collector in Paris, he taught himself to paint and exhibited his work almost annually from 1886 until the end of his life. He was given the nickname "Le Douanier" ("the customs officer") by his acquaintances in the Parisian avant-garde. Despite his connections with other artists and dealers, he never profited from his paintings; however, works like "The Dream,
"Nothing makes me so happy as to observe nature and to paint what I see."
[From a 1910 interview; cited in 'Henri Rousseau 1844-1910' (p. 25), by Cornelia Stabenow.]
" "The Sleeping Gypsy" and "Carnival Evening" influenced many artists who came after him. He died in Paris on September 2, 1910.
Early Life and Work
Henri Julien Félix Rousseau was born into a middle-class family in the town of Laval in northwest France on May 21, 1844. Rousseau attended school in Laval until 1860. In his late teens, he worked for a lawyer and then enlisted in the army, although he never saw combat. In 1868, Rousseau left the army and moved to Paris, where he began working as a toll collector at the entrance to the city.
Rousseau as Artist
Meanwhile, Rousseau had begun to paint in his spare time. He never had a formal art education; instead, he taught himself by copying paintings in the art museums of Paris and by sketching in the city's botanical gardens and natural history museums.
Perhaps because he had not studied art according to any prescribed method or under any teacher's supervision, Rousseau developed a highly personal style. His portraits and landscapes often had a childlike or "naïve" quality, since he had not learned anatomy or perspective; their vivid colors, ambiguous spaces, non-realistic scale and dramatic intensity gave them a dreamlike quality. Sometimes Rousseau incorporated details inspired by paintings he had viewed at museums or images he had seen in books and magazines, transforming them into elements of his own visions.
Many of Rousseau's signature paintings depicted human figures or wild animals in jungle-like settings. The first of these works was "Tiger in a Tropical Storm" of 1891 (now at the National Gallery in London).
'Le Douanier' and the Avant-Garde
Although Rousseau's art was not understood or accepted by the conservative, official art world of Paris, he was able to show his work in annual exhibitions organized by the Société des Artistes Indépendants. He submitted works to these open, un-juried shows from 1886 until the end of his life. His art was seen and appreciated by established artists such as Camille Pissarro and Paul Signac, who praised his direct, emotional approach to his subject matter.
In 1893, at the age of 49, Rousseau retired from his work as a toll collector and dedicated himself to his art. That year he met the writer Alfred Jarry, who gave him the nickname "Le Douanier" ("the customs officer"). Jarry introduced Rousseau to members of the Parisian artistic and literary avant-garde, including Pablo Picasso, Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob and Marie Laurencin, all of whom became admirers of his art. Rousseau also formed business relationships with important dealers; however, despite these connections, he made very little money from his art.

Astronauts Like iPods, Take Them Into Space
This is close-up picture of the Space Shuttle Endeavor orbiting earth. And what is that in the window? An iPod! Astronauts listen to iPods in space (or at least throw them on the dash of the shuttle to look cool)! You know, I'm really glad this picture came out because it's just what I needed to prove my latest scientific theory: even astronauts download music illegally. record players don't work in space. NASA is too cheap to spring for Sirius. the moon landing was a hoax. the Discman is dead.

i questioned the dudley pick at first, but each day that passes i think it was a good selection. he will be an intense player for us
Charlotte had two solid draft picks this year. A job well done for a 22nd and 36th pick. We will be seeing the benefits of drafting Dudley this year coming off the beanch. This guy can do it all and is NBA ready. True hes not great at any one thing but decent at all. Just wait and see hes as tough as they come and his toughness will spread to the other players. Hes got a mean streak kinda like one of the old pistons .
Congrats to the two Bobcats making 2nd all team[Dudley should have made first]
Thanks Ammofan!
i questioned the dudley pick at first, but each day that passes i think it was a good selection. he will be an intense player for us
I agree with you on Dudley, If/When Sean May goes down with knee problems this season, then Jared should be able to step in take some of those minutes.
Is May even going to be ready for the upcoming season?Originally Posted by ziggy
Like most I hated the Dudley pick before we traded Wright for J-Rich but I think he'll contribute and get decent minutes even though we're stacked at the SF.
RIP Michael Jackson & Steve McNair
What's Dudley's wingspan? Is he like Josh Howard where his wingspan allows him to play huge?
i don't think his wing span is anything special, but his all around solid game will be nice to have on the team. i think dudley being like howard is wishful thinking, but i think he could be as productive as sean may was last year, except he wouldn't miss games hahaOriginally Posted by Bumpus
Dudley will probably more of a big man version of Battier. He'll get us some boards, hit some from outside, and be a small ball player. He many not have the impact of Battier's subtle game, but he'll be valuable to us. He'll probably be a good glue guy as well.
Supreme Leader
Bobcats Sunshine Club
SOMEONE will pay for THIS!
funny that their all first team is made up of second-yr players...
well, i they think they should be, or else.
but anyways, they do make me proud as a bobcat... even if i was scratching my head over them before... my apologies.
Must made a great comparison during Summer league he said Dudley reminds him of a Robert Horry type.Originally Posted by Bumpus

Mate I think you're wrong.For starters it's untethered.Secondly its a fair way behind the shuttle and thirdly,its rotating.And if you watch you will see it rotate upwards then instantly sideways.Plus the fact that NASA (Never Admit Somethings Alien) removed it says its NOT theirs.Just my opinion.
Fredje March 13, 2012 11:11:43 PM CET
This is the video probe from NASA to shoot footage of the shuttle from the outside! No mystery there!

Finding Time for Gamel
Mat Gamel was one of three players the Brewers called up today, but unlike Carlos Villanueva and Jeremy Jeffress, it doesn't seem like Gamel will get much of a chance to play. Casey McGehee is shooting for 100 RBI, Prince Fielder is unlikely to take a day off, and the outfield is so crowded the "best centerfielder on the team" has been reduced to pinch-hitting duty.
So, instead of playing every day in Nashville, what will Gamel be doing this month? Here's a rough estimate.

Kawhi the next Bowen or something more?
The NBA season entered its last week Sunday and the San Antonio Spurs find themselves in a familiar spot, near the top of the standings. But the way they've done it hasn't been in typical Spurs style. Their offensive is SUPER efficient and I'm not sure there's a team that likes playing with one another more.
However, as has been chronicled over the season, they're just not the defensive juggernaut they used to be (though they're not bad by any means). They don't have Bruce Bowen and they don't have Tim Duncan and a crew a tall, defensive minded bigs like in 2003, 2005 and 2007. Still, the "no Bowen" part looks to be changing as rookie Kawhi Leonard continues to emerge.
He's been hailed as Bowen 2.0 by a lot of guys, including head coach Gregg Popovich. Pop even told USA Today's J. Michael Falgoust that Kawhi could become much more than another Bruce Bowen.
"Kawhi guards the toughest perimeter player on the other team. He's got great length. A great body. Has an inclination to do it. He enjoys the role. He's more gifted than Bruce, skillwise," Popovich said. "Once we figured that out we opened up for him and he worked very hard on his shot, especially his three-point shot. (Assistant coach) Chip England has spent a lot of time with him on that so he's got confidence. He lets it fly. He's not Chris Mullin yet but we don't mind when he takes his open threes."
First off, I would really, REALLY like to see Kawhi with a Chris Mullin crew cut.
Second, Pop didn't even mention that when it comes to driving to the basket, Leonard is already light years ahead of Bruce. Seeing him dunk on guys brings warm feelings to every Spurs fans hearts and many all caps and exclamation points to their tweets. I'm still worried how a 20 year old kid is going to handle the playoffs and I hope he'll gamble a little less on defense, but it's hard to be disappointed with the results so far. So keep getting your dunk on, Kawhi. Keep mumbling during your post game interviews. Keep improving on defense and keep shooting those corner 3's. You've made fans out of a lot us very quickly.

Uncle Croc's Block was a Saturday morning TV show meant to poke fun at Saturday morning TV shows. This half-animated, half live-action kids show starred Charles Nelson Reilly as the host, Uncle Croc. Uncle Croc was constantly bickering with his assistant, Mr. Rabbit Ears, and the show's director, Mr. Bitterbottom. He would occasionally stop his mean-spirited banter in order to introduce one of the show's three cartoon segments.

More quote details and news » These are the companies that usually see profit improvement in a rebounding economy. These stocks led the market higher last fall, following this usual pattern.
Around February, though, the market's leadership changed, notes James Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management. Defensive sectors that investors usually cling to in troubled times, such as utilities, companies selling consumer staples and health-care shares, became the market giants.
Scott Pollack
Instead of piling into shares in expectation of strong earnings growth, investors bought up the safest stocks, unable to bring themselves to embrace risk. Investors want to own shares and yet protect their portfolios, Wall Street's version of having some cake and eating it, too.
When the junk-bond market trades at a yield of less than 6%, a dividend of about 3% on Johnson & Johnson and Clorox, which are perceived as safe companies in reliable industries, looks attractive to many investors.
"Speculative-grade bonds do not offer good value," says Martin Fridson, chief executive officer of FridsonVision, a financial research firm based in New York. Investors sharing Mr. Fridson's view may be putting money in stocks with hefty dividends, analysts say, though others continue to buy up junk bonds.
Defensive stocks are being purchased by "reluctant stock buyers," says Jack Ablin, chief investment officer of BMO Private Bank. "In other words, would-be bondholders who have been prodded off the plank into the equity market. They're looking for yield and stability."
Slowing Economy
So far this year, health-care shares are up nearly 19%, consumer staples are over 17% higher and utilities are up 17%—all well above the overall market. Meanwhile, shares of materials companies, such as Dow Chemical DOW +0.63% Dow Chemical Co.

More quote details and news » or energy company Continental Resources, are up less than 4%, while information-technology stocks are up about 6%.
Mr. Paulsen says the shift began when data emerged suggesting that the U.S. economy is slowing. Instead of selling shares, though, and moving money into low-yielding bonds or cash, investors decided to shift to safer stocks, many with sizable dividends.
Some investors are concerned. Douglas Kass of Seabreeze Partners Management says when the market is led by defensive stocks, "it is time to be fearful of the broader markets."
If defensive stocks are outperforming those that are more dependent on the economy's growth, it could be signal from the market that a slowdown is ahead, these investors argue.
Indeed, prices of U.S. Treasurys and other safe bonds also have been climbing lately, a relatively unusual occurrence when stocks have rallied and one that could suggest a fear of the economy's outlook.
Recent indications that the Chinese economy is cooling, and weakness in commodities tied to growth in emerging-market nations, also are warning signs to some analysts.
And cyclical stocks can be tricky to own. Energy shares, for example, should do better as the U.S. economy expands. But because there's been a surge of U.S. oil and gas supply, a phenomenon that could weigh on future energy prices, some are wary of these stocks.

He says investors are souring on companies reliant on global growth, due to continuing concerns about Europe and emerging-market nations. But they're buying up stocks benefiting from the relatively strong growth in the U.S., such as housing-related shares. "The real split seems to be more geographic in nature," he says.
Apple's Woes
Indeed, consumer discretionary stocks aren't exactly taking on water. They're up 15.5% in 2013. At the same time, the technology sector is being weighted down by the poor recent performance of Apple, which has more to do with concerns the giant won't be able to maintain its breakneck earnings growth than it does any worries about the overall economy.
For investors, shifting to safer stocks has danger, despite the relative stability of their businesses, partly because these companies often have more challenges growing their businesses.

But on Tuesday, Pfizer reported a 9% revenue decline in the first quarter and lowered its full-year outlook as new drugs have yet to contribute meaningful sales, despite cost cutting and asset sales. Pfizer shares fell on the report—though they remain up 29% on the last 52 weeks.
Meanwhile, many of the seemingly safe stocks trade at expensive prices. Clorox, for example, has a price-earnings multiple of about 18.5, much higher than the market's overall P/E ratio of about 14.
Indeed, Mr. Levkovich warns investors to be wary of health-care shares on the heels of their recent impressive performance because some now seem overpriced. He's a bigger fan of shares of utilities.
At the same time, cyclical shares have done a bit better than defensive companies in the last few weeks, suggesting to some analysts, such as Mr. Paulsen, that a change could be afoot if the U.S. economy proves resilient.
"I don't think economic momentum has slowed as much as most believe" and think that most of the recent weakness is due to temporary issues, such as a nasty weather, that will abate, Mr. Paulsen argues.

Success in the NCAA Tournament as a coach of a mid-major is no guarantee of success at the next level.
Sources have told the Boston Globe that Cornell's Steve Donahue has risen to the top of the wish list for the vacant BC men's basketball head coaching job.
After 13 years at BC, Al Skinner is out as head coach of the Eagles. Here is a look at a former coach who recently threw his name into the mix, former Vermont coach Tom Brennan.
Take another candidate off the list. Chris Mooney signed a monster extension with Richmond today and I think it's safe to say he'll be there for at least 3 or 4 more years before he gets plucked by a school from a major conference if his success continues.
"There have been some flattering reports of opportunities at other fine institutions but my heart is at Harvard," Amaker said in the release. And then there were four ... Steve Donahue, Ed Cooley, Chris Mooney and Bill Coen.

- In the 1830s, a group of influential Philadelphians wanted to establish a rural cemetery that would be naturalistic, serene, and in genteel seclusion. They settled on Laurel Hill at 3822 Ridge Avenue, the former estate of merchant Joseph Sims, which had rocky bluffs and spectacular views and was about six kilometers from the city center. The cemetery, built in 1836–39 after the designs of Scottish-born architect and landscape designer John Notman, is seen in this bird's-eye view of part of the grounds. This view shows horse-drawn carriages and a hearse approaching and horse-drawn wagons parked in front of the main gate. Tombs, monuments, and a Gothic-style chapel line the landscape of the cemetery. The print is by Edward J. Pinkerton, partner in Pinkerton, Wagner & McGuigan, a Philadelphia lithographer active in the 1840s. The firm mostly produced book and periodical illustrations and experimented early with chromolithography. The lithograph appeared as the frontispiece in the Guide to Laurel Hill Cemetery in 1844.

Pope Sergius IV
Pope Sergius IV |
Papacy began | 31 July 1009 |
Papacy ended | 12 May 1012 |
Predecessor | John XVIII |
Successor | Benedict VIII |
Personal details | |
Birth name | Pietro Martino Buccaporci |
Born | Unknown Rome, Papal States, Holy Roman Empire |
Died | May 12, 1012 Rome, Papal States, Holy Roman Empire |
Other popes named Sergius |
Pope Sergius IV (died 12 May 1012) was Pope and ruler of the Papal States from 31 July 1009 to his death in 1012.
He was born in Rome as Pietro Martino (Peter Martin) Buccaporci, which name essentially translates as "Peter Pig's Snout."[1] The date of his birth is unknown.[1]
Buccaporci was the son of a shoemaker (also named Pietro). Despite his family's poor background, he performed well after entering the Church and rose quickly through the ranks. In 1004, he became Bishop of Albano.[1] He was elected pope after the abdication of Pope John XVIII in 1009, and adopted the name Sergius IV.
The power held by Sergius IV was small[2] and often overshadowed by John Crescentius III, the ruler of the city of Rome at the time. Some historians have claimed that Sergius IV was essentially a puppet ruler for Crescentius III. Others, however, claimed that the Pope resisted his power, and there is some evidence that Sergius IV gave political backing to an anti-Crescentius, German faction in the city.[1][2]
Acts sometimes attributed to Sergius IV include measures to relieve famine in the city of Rome, and the exemption of certain monasteries from episcopal rule.[2] A papal bull calling for Muslims to be driven from the Holy Land after the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was destroyed in 1009 by the Fatimid caliph al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah has been attributed to him. However, some historians have suggested that this bull was actually invented around the time of the First Crusade in order to help justify that expedition to Jerusalem. More recently, some historians have forcefully argued for the document's authenticity.
Sergius IV died on 12 May 1012 and was buried in the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran,[2] and although not canonized is sometimes venerated as a saint by the Benedictines.[3] There was some suspicion that he was murdered, as he died within a week of Crescentius, considered by many to have been his patron.[4] Sergius was followed in the papacy by Pope Benedict VIII.

Schumer Won't Predict if Hagel Will Be Confirmed
Above, the interview with Sen. Schumer
The Senate's third-ranking Democrat said Tuesday that he has an "open mind" toward the nomination of Chuck Hagel as defense secretary, but isn't yet sure whether the former Republican senator from Nebraska will win confirmation.
"I want to hear directly from Chuck Hagel and I want to hear about all kinds of different issues," Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "I've read about what he said. I've studied the record a little bit. I'll study it more. But before I make any decision I'm going to give him a full hearing."
Pressed further, Mr. Schumer declined to say which issues in Mr. Hagel's record concern him. Mr. Schumer has been among Israel's staunchest backers in Congress, while critics of Mr. Hagel say he's been insufficiently supportive of the Jewish state.
"It's too early to tell," if Mr. Hagel will be confirmed, Mr. Schumer said. "I'm not going to take guesses like that until I sit down and talk to him."

NASHVILLE -- After missing the playoffs for the first time since 2009, the Nashville Predators began their rebuilding process Tuesday by agreeing to a long-term deal with forward Patric Hornqvist.
Hornqvist signed a five-year, $21.25 million contract to stay in Nashville, where he has spent his five-year NHL career and has emerged as one of the Predators' top offensive weapons.
"I think we have something really good here going," Hornqvist said at a news conference announcing the signing. "Obviously we know we had a bad season this year. I think everybody is going to come back and improve and have a run in the playoffs next year. "
Injuries limited the 26-year-old Hornqvist to four goals and 10 assists in 24 games this season, as the Predators scored a league-low 111 goals. After advancing beyond the first round of the playoffs in 2011 and 2012, Nashville went 16-23-9 this year to finish below .500 for the first time since 2002-03.
"We absolutely missed his play this year with the injuries that he had," Predators general manager David Poile said.
When he's healthy, Hornqvist is one of the Predators' top offensive players.
Hornqvist scored 30 goals in 2009-10 to become the fourth player in franchise history to reach that benchmark. He tied for second in the NHL with eight game-winning goals that season.
He followed that up with 21 goals in 2010-11 and provided a team-high 27 goals in 2011-12. He ranks eighth on the franchise's all-time list in power-play goals (28) and is 10th in overall goals (84).
"He is a unique player," Poile said. "He is one of the fiercest competitors in the National Hockey League. He has that net presence like nobody else. He's a courageous player. He can score goals. He brings a lot of energy to our team."
Now he has a chance to continue bringing that energy for many years to come.
"I want to stay here," Hornqvist said. "I really like it here. It's a great place to live and great place to play, and the fans are great."
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

"The fresh lime juice and mustard add a nice tang to this moist and flaky grilled salmon. I came up with this marinade after tasting something similar at a friend's house and it is now one of our favorite ways to do fish. You may also use other firm fish steaks instead of salmon; halibut, tuna and swordfish all work well."

"I thought I made a good save, but it was a poor finish really. You're supposed to score from 3 yards out."
Iniesta's goal is 10x better.... goals from free kicks are hard... but since they are basically a free shot, they shouldn't be considered for goal of the week... unless they are freakishly good, which this one wasn't. Respect RVP
yeah, a free shot from 30 yards out with only a wall of four or five very tall people standing in front of you with a balloon for a ball.. the shot is then expected to go past a keeper who is 6'5". yeah, much easier than a well controlled tap in from 5 yards.
Accuracy accuracy accuracy! You see that RVP freekick? Sufficient power, it is all about technique that takes years to develop. Pleasurable strike from the Dutchman.
To be honest Larsson's Freekick was slightly better than Van Persie's one bt Persie scored at a crucial moment....dats the reason his goal is nominated more...
I kinda wish we did, but Gervinho wasn't a bad buy. He's playing pretty good. Just needs to pass a bit more instead of holding on to the ball, but he makes some sweet runs into the box from the wing.
typical that despite Larsson's goal being the better free kick, RVP's has twice the number of votes for goal of the week. They were both great, but does RVP's deserve twice the number of votes?
If you factor in the gravity of the goal, then yes. Not only was it brilliantly executed, but it was late, a game winner, and salvaged a desperate 3 points to avoid the further decent of a legendary team on the brink of collapse.
And if you factor in that Arsenal have almost 16,000 users on footytube by comparison to Sunderland's 253.....
I think this is a new start for Arsenal. After Van Persie's reiteration of his committment to the club, he comes and pulls off 2 world class goals. Also, if you remember, Arshavin promised the fans earlier last week that he will start finding back his magical form which somehow disappeared--and he too comes up with that mazy run, which almost converted to a goal
yeah it does speak volumes, however not of Szczęsny but his defense which is a definition of rubbish. If it had not been for Tex, Arsenal would be in the relegation zone right now
goalkeepers shouldnt get the blame for goal scored, unless they make an obvious blunder. the defence starts from the forwards, then to the mids, then the defence, then the goalkeepers. a goalie is pretty much the last resort.
There is the impression that RVP doesn't score goals with his right boot, but at least twenty of the 100 or so goals he has scored with Arsenal were with his right and some of them were excellent. Sunday he had another and almost scored an epic goal with a chip off his right. Like Messi and other sensational players, he definitely favors (and maybe excessively) one foot, but he is not as bad with his right as some people think.
Not I 49ers04, but I did say a few things that resemble what you have written. If you would be so kind as to condescend from your throne as King of Football Phraseology and explain to me how best to articulate the point that RVP has scored some great goals with his right boot, I would be much obliged.
BagiK: Of course all good strikers use both feet. It is just that RVP, even though he has long been considered to be a good striker, has still been much maligned for unduly favoring his left foot. Va bene?
Robin van Persie is absolutely brilliant, that placing goal he missed which hit the goal post reminds me of Dennis Bergkamp famous goal against Newcastle. I thought Asharvin did well when he came on too. I hope he will continue to improve and relive his season where scored 4 goals against Liverpool. Finally, Szczenzy always have the best goal celebration! Forward Gunners! ='D

Cecilia's Thoughts on Texas State
Why Texas State
I chose Texas State because it was a university that was diverse, the professor-student ratio provided for an optimal learning environment, and it was just the right distance from home (not too far and not too close).
What I'm Doing Now
The month after I finished my master's degree, I moved to Harlingen, Texas, for a job opportunity. I'm completing my nine-month speech-language clinical fellowship by working at a rehab clinic for children. I provide speech/language services for children ages 1-14. After nine months, I will earn the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
Career Goals
Eventually, I hope to own a private clinic that will focus on prevention, assessment and intervention of communication disorders found among the multilingual and multicultural population.
Favorite Professor
All the faculty members I encountered as an undergraduate and graduate student at Texas State were very welcoming and encouraging. Dr. Diana Gonzales is my favorite because she encouraged me to go above and beyond to meet my utmost potential. With her assistance in and outside of class, I feel I have become very knowledgeable in my career field and that I have learned more about my potential.
Best Studying Advice
If anything helped me through my college years, it was managing my time so that I could include a daily study session to review the notes and lessons of that day. With that daily review, I could retain information better so that studying for tests was easier. I also completed assignments as soon as I received them so that I had more time to do the things I like most.
What I Love About Texas State
I like that it is a friendly and close-knit community. The experiences I had as a student, the opportunities I was given, and the friendships I was blessed with because I chose Texas State have been remarkable.

Stronger fertilizer demand projected through 2012
In nitrogen, purchasing patterns were markedly better than those of the other nutrients. After the general slowdown in fertilizer markets late in 2011, nitrogen buyers moved quickly to place new orders—buoyed by the prospect of large US corn plantings and concerned about product availability given a reduction in North American import volumes and certain unplanned domestic plant outages. These tight supply/demand fundamentals were most pronounced in urea, which pushed prices higher during the quarter.
Although demand early in the season was lackluster, officials at Mosaic Co. said demand was rapidly accelerating. Mosaic explained the force driving the demand for fertilizer is the relatively high corn crop prices.
"We anticipate another year of high farm income in North America—the second highest on record—and strong farm economics around the world," Mosaic CEO Jim Prokopanko said in a statement.
Part of the reason for the expected high demand is that fertilizer dealers are now beginning to secure product to meet strong demand at the farm level, according to PotashCorp. While the initial focus for many was on acquiring nitrogen to meet their immediate requirements, purchasing of potash and phosphate products accelerated going into the second quarter.
Dealers have largely worked through existing potash inventories and are purchasing additional volumes for immediate needs—an important transition with key growing regions in the midst of their primary planting seasons and farmers motivated to capture the economic incentives of proper fertilization.
PotashCorp explained why it believes fertilizer demand will increase throughout 2012.
"In North America, we anticipate improved demand through the remainder of 2012. This should be evident in the second quarter, although it may not match the level of demand experienced in the same period last year when dealers moved earlier to begin restocking for fall. We believe that dealers will attempt to finish the spring planting season with limited inventory and begin the process of restocking in the third quarter. With the prospect of an early harvest and the expectation of limited dealer inventory, we anticipate a strong second half and total 2012 demand in the range of 8.5-9.0 million tonnes," the company announced in a statement.

Inside Mobile Apps
Posted by: Jeremy SaccoNovember 26, 2013
The month of October brought saw new users of iPhone 5s and 5c phones flooding into the market and eagerly downloading new apps, keeping volumes up. However, the increase in advertising activity as some marketers rushed to get in front of this new audience, coupled with consumers' tendency to be particularly loyal to the first wave of apps they download on a new device, helped keep costs stable throughout the month.
In October, we watched the Cost per Loyal User Index decrease by three percent to $1.63 – representing a 54 percent increase in costs year-over-year. That increase may seem inflated due to October 2012 seeing a historic low in cost per loyal user. That month, on the heels of the iPhone 5's availability, organic searches spiked as users took to the App Store searching for new apps to download on their new devices. This heighted period of natural discovery caused the cost to acquire and engage loyal users to plummet. In contrast, costs remained relatively steady post-iPhone 5s and 5c launch in 2013, likely in part due to advertisers' increasing understanding of the value of these new users -- and their resulting willingness to spend more to acquire them.
The App Store Competitive Index dipped two percent to 5.6 million daily downloads in October. Due to a massive spike in download volume occurring during this time period last year around the iPhone 5 launch, this is the first time in five months that Fiksu observed less than 20 percent year-over-year growth in download volumes. If you haven't seen it, be sure to check out Fiksu's "Analyzing 21 Months of Mobile App Discovery" study that gives a comprehensive look-back at app store competition and growth over the past two years.
We also observed some marketers holding back in October, limiting their spending while they planned for larger splash campaigns timed around the fast-approaching holiday season. We expect activity to ramp up considerably in the coming months as many large brands and games pour money into the ecosystem around the holiday peak -- and judging by the frantic activity in our client management team, it's already underway.
Thanks to all those who covered this month's index including VentureBeat and Inside Mobile Apps!
Posted by: Viki ZabalaMay 1, 2013
It's been a memorable day for Fiksu, as we reached another notable milestone! As of April 30, 2013 – two years since our launch – the Fiksu Mobile App Marketing Platform has recorded its one hundred billionth app user action and has driven more than one billion app downloads. This data is critical to our ability to drive real-time mobile ad campaign optimization and deliver the high-performance marketing results that leading brands demand. It's also the foundation of the Fiksu Indexes and our insights into the complex app marketing landscape.
In analyzing this month's Index data, we found that the volume of daily downloads of the top 200 free iPhone apps and mobile app marketing costs remained steady in March – extending from February's calm and consistent, yet valuable landscape.
We saw the Fiksu Cost per Loyal User Index increase by five percent, or seven cents, to $1.36, from February's $1.29.
The Fiksu App Store Competitive Index dipped four percent, to 5.02 million daily downloads in March from February's 5.20 million. Notably, this represents a 12 percent year-over-year increase from March 2012.
March's "new normal" was good news for mobile app marketers. Inventory has increased but costs have held steady, reflecting a maturity in the overall quality of apps and their ability to engage users.
Beginning of the End for UDIDs
Despite the last few months of relative stability, marketers should always be prepared for the ebbs and flows within the app ecosystem. In fact, today is a notable day in that Apple's recent announcement goes into effect: apps that access UDIDs will no longer be approved for the App Store. While apps that are already approved can continue to access the UDIDs for the time being, the majority of that traffic is shifting to the Advertising Identifier. The change comes as no surprise to app publishers who follow the industry, but it's still a significant step in the ongoing evolution of app marketing.
We've also seen Apple evolving its stance on apps used to promote other apps, and there have been some indications that the MAC address -- which has similar privacy concerns to the UDID, but has received much less attention -- could be the next tracking option to face Apple's scrutiny. We can expect the impact of these and other factors to start revealing themselves in next month's April Index data and beyond.
Thanks to all the publications for covering our March Indexes: AppNewser, FierceMobileContent, GoMo News, Inside Mobile Apps, Mobile Marketing Magazine, Mobile Marketing Watch and PocketGamer.
Posted by: Viki ZabalaJanuary 30, 2013
The 2012 holidays marked a turning point for mobile marketing, with significant growth in mobile devices, app downloads, and shopping conducted via smartphones and tablets. On Christmas Day, 17.4 million iOS and Android devices and tablets were unwrapped and activated – breaking the 2011 record by more than 2.5x. So it's no surprise that we saw a spike in app downloads in December.
The December Fiksu App Store Competitive Index increased to 5.32 million daily downloads in December, up 16 percent from November's 4.57 million. As expected, competition around the holiday increased, though not as dramatically as it did during 2011. Part of this is likely due to the absence of robotic install tactics that were still being employed during the previous holiday season. Volume also fell slightly short of the massive October peak caused by the introduction of the iPhone 5.
Meanwhile, the Fiksu Cost per Loyal User Index jumped 21 percent, or 29 cents, to $1.67, from November's $1.38. While costs continued to climb from November to December, as expected, the 2012 holiday season presented a steadier, more cost-effective landscape than the 2011 season, as marketers implemented best practices they'd learned and tested throughout the year.
Mobile app marketers are a year older and wiser, and we saw this reflected in the December Indexes. Unlike the spending frenzy we saw in 2011, many opted for a value-versus-volume approach in 2012, collectively applying a more conservative, sophisticated strategy to their Q4 campaigns and largely avoiding big gambles on a long App Store freeze. This value-based approach also led to a "long-tail" effect, where more marketing dollars were spent on apps outside of the top 200 that are tracked in our index. Read more in our analysis here.

History has shown us the arrival of a new mobile device generates remarkable opportunities for app marketers to cost-effectively acquire and engage new users, as download volumes surge, costs to acquire loyal users plummet, and user-interest levels peak. So it was no surprise the much-anticipated arrival of the iPhone 5 in September prompted some interesting dynamics in the Fiksu Indexes. While the App Store Competitive Index didn't depict a huge month-over-month change in download volumes, in reality there was a whirlwind of activity taking place beneath the surface.
Specifically, by examining the data from before the iPhone 5's arrival and afterward, we identified a clear distinction in app download activity. In the weeks prior to the phone's launch, downloads decreased by 3 percent, but in the weeks after, downloads swelled by a substantial 33 percent.
Meanwhile, the Fiksu Cost per Loyal User Index for September was among the lowest on record at $1.13, down 21 cents or 16 percent from August's $1.34. The last time the Cost per Loyal User Index came close to this was May 2011, when it was $1.10, as a result of Apple's ban on incentive-based installs, followed by January 2012 when it fell to $1.14 after the holiday advertising craze.
What does this all mean? Opportunity with a capital O! For app marketers, the iPhone 5 launch in September delivered a prime chance to cost-effectively acquire large volumes of loyal users. In fact, one of our clients even experienced a 20 percent increase in organic downloads and 35 percent revenue gains during the iPhone 5's post-launch period. Many other clients were able to take advantage of the traffic jump.
As the iPad Mini hits shelves, we may see a continuation of this wave. However, we expect September's bargain period of rich marketing opportunities will likely be unmatched until the post-holiday frenzy in January 2013.

Last week, Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 5 started hitting the shelves, selling a record-shattering 5 million units in its first weekend of availability. Additionally, more than 100 million existing iOS device owners have already rushed to update to iOS 6, Apple's newest operating system. But, for several weeks preceding the arrival of the iPhone 5, we observed a change in consumers' download appetites, reflected prominently in our new August Index numbers.
In August, the App Store Competitive Index dropped by 7.3 percent to 4.05 million daily downloads, down from 4.37 million in July. The Cost per Loyal User Index decreased by 20 cents in August (almost 13 percent) to $1.34, down from $1.54 in July.
"Rumors, leaks and hype surrounding the iPhone 5 seemed to be inescapable in August, and the pre-launch anticipation caused both iOS downloads and user acquisition costs to plunge during the month," writes Kathleen De Vere of Inside Mobile Apps, as she examines the Fiksu Indexes.
Much like the weeks before the iPhone 4S launch in 2011, we observed that many consumers chose to wait for their new iPhone 5 devices rather than downloading new apps to their existing smartphones during August. Similarly, app marketers took the gas off their advertising spending during the month, awaiting the availability of iOS 6 in September and the chance to then promote updated apps. The combined effect made for a slow month overall.
We expect that next month's Indexes will tell a very different story, now that the iPhone 5 and iOS are here. Be sure to check back next month to see how the September Indexes will reflect what we are calling "Christmas in September," a time of rich opportunity for app marketers.

Get Nuance PaperPort 14 for $49.99
I'm a longtime fan of PaperPort, which began life as a scanner/software combination and now exists solely as software. I've never found a better solution for organizing and preserving scanned documents, which is why PaperPort is among the few software products I'm actually willing to buy.
But $99.99? Ouch. That's the list price for the latest version. Fortunately, software developer Nuance has partnered with Laplink to offer PaperPort 14 (Windows) for $49.99. (Just to clarify, this is PaperPort Standard, not PaperPort Pro.)
That's for the download version, though you can get a … Read more
