About JadeiteJadeite is the more rare of the two jades, and the most expensive. Most of the world's supply of fine jadeite comes from Burma, but deposits are found in Guatemala and a few other areas around the world.
- Jadeite occurs in many colors, including green, white, lavender, yellow, orange, black and red.
- Evenly colored, translucent, emerald green jadeite is called Imperial Jade.
- Jadeite ranks at about 7 on the Mohs scale, compared to 10 for a diamond.
About NephriteNephrite is more plentiful than jadeite, and that makes it less expensive. The Xinjiang Province in China produced the jadeite traditionally used by Chinese artisans until Burmese jade deposits became available in the 1700's. Nephrite deposits have been discovered all around the world, even in the United States.
- Nephrite jade is found in fewer colors than jadeite.
- Instead of a bright emerald green, nephrite greens are often grayish or mottled.
- Nephrite ranks at about 6.5 on the Mohs scale. Because it is softer than jadeite, finished pieces cannot be as highly polished.
Jade Jewelry Buying Advice
- Look for pieces of jade with uniform color throughout, although some multicolor pieces are in demand
- Intense colors of jade are usually the most desirable.
- Green is the most popular color of jade.
- Semi-transparent to translucent jade is more valuable than opaque jade.
- Avoid jade with many cracks or other visible flaws.
- Finely textured, highly polished jade cabochons and uncarved pieces of the gem are considered the most desirable components for jewelry.
- Jade is often dyed, but dyeing is not regarded as a permanent treatment.
- Heat treatments are used to lighten or intensify the color of jade.
- Most jade is waxed.
- Color-intensified nephrite is sometimes marketed as jadeite.
- Dishonest dealers alter and sell dyed quartz and other stones, labeling them as jade -- buy from someone you trust.

CHICKAMAUGA, WALKER COUNTY, GA (WRCB)- An elderly man's family in Walker County is accused of running an illegal tire dumping operation in his yard.
James Marsh says it has been happening for a year. Marsh's nephew and his nephew's wife were arrested for the act, but that leaves the 89-year- old with an operation of his own; cleaning it all up.
Chickamauga Police Chief Michael Haney tells Channel 3 there are nearly 1,000 tires sitting on the property of 89-year-old James Marsh.
We talked with Marsh who says he wants the tires to go.
"Oh well, the crookedist people you gonna deal with is kin folks, I don't care who you are," says James Marsh.
Marsh turns 90-years-old Sunday and wants one thing for his birthday, for the hundreds of tires in his backyard, as far as the eye can see, to disappear.
"I have no idea how many," says Marsh.
Marsh's nephew, 46-year-old Rodney Greer and his wife, 27-year-old Jennifer Greer were arrested and charged with unlawful commercial dumping.
Chickamauga police say the two, without the proper license or permit, visited multiple gas stations offering to remove tires for a few dollars a piece.
Marsh says they told him they were going to sell them to farmers to use for equipment and get rid of the rest.
But that clearly never happened.
"I figured just straight out lied to me," says Marsh.
Marsh says he was getting frustrated. The Greers were renting a room behind his house but never paid up.
"If they ever paid any rent, I don't know who they paid it too," says Marsh.
So he finally called police.
Jennifer contacted Channel 3 by email, claiming Marsh collected money for the tires, saying: "I'm pretty sure that Mr. and Mrs. Marsh didn't make you aware of the money they collected off of the tires that were in fact mine. Not to mention the 300 to 400 tires that were on their property long before me or my husband ever moved there."
She goes on to say: "I admitted to having 60 to 100 tires that were left behind when we were made to move. I offered to clean those up as well and was told I wasn't allowed on their property or I would be shot."
Marsh says she is lying and is just tired of looking at all those tires.
"It's alright with me anyway that it goes, but I do want the tires moved," he says.
The Greers have since bonded out of jail.
Police say the Georgia Department of Natural Resources is investigating three gas stations the Greers reportedly did business with.
It is still not known who will be responsible for properly disposing of the tires.
Chief Haney says Chickamauga law enforcement is familiar with Rodney and Jennifer Greer.
"She is well known in this department," he told Channel 3, "we've dealt with her and Rodney Greer several times."
Haney says Jennifer Greer was found guilty of disorderly conduct earlier this year and attempted to flee the courtroom after a judge ruled in the case. An officer was injured trying to capture her.

Quarry operation may start up again following purchase
BREMERTON - Kitsap Quarry, located at the south end of Kitsap Lake, has been purchased by Craig Ueland and could soon be back in operation with a new route for hauling crushed rock away from the site.
Ueland, owner of Ueland Tree Farm and Bremerton West Ridge LLC, was granted approval two years ago to develop two gravel mines and three rock quarries on 152 acres west of Kitsap Lake. He says he is waiting for an upturn in market demand for gravel and rock before asking Kitsap County planners to approve a site plan, which would allow that project to move forward.
Meanwhile, the purchase of Kitsap Quarry by Bremerton West Ridge could provide Ueland an entrance into the rock and gravel business. The 65-acre property was purchased from Dan Bates of Rock Enterprises for $615,000.
Another gravel-mining operator, Joe Lockhart, who owns a quarry at the end of Werner Road, has offered to run Kitsap Quarry on behalf of Ueland's company. Final details are yet to be worked out, according to Ueland, but Lockhart could start removing material from Kitsap Quarry by the end of the year if things go well.
Experts estimate that Kitsap Quarry still contains about a million cubic yards of crushed rock, enough to last 10 or 20 years, depending on market conditions, Ueland said.
A major change proposed in the operation of Kitsap Quarry is to truck the crushed rock and other materials along a new route to Werner Road, rather than along Archie Avenue and West Kitsap Lake Road, the route taken for many years. To get to Werner Road, a new road must be built across Lockhart's property, and Ueland already has been granted an easement for the project.
Ueland's company, Bremerton West Ridge, recently submitted an application to clear the land needed for the new road, along with additional timber harvests in three areas adjoining the road. Most of the trees are mature alder and maple, which will fall by themselves if not harvested soon, Ueland said. The harvested areas will be replanted with fir and cedar.
Steve Heacock, environmental planner for the Kitsap County Department of Community Development, said he is in the early stages of reviewing the overall project, which will need a site development activity permit for the permanent road and a "conversion-option" approval for the logging plan.
"We're early in the application process," Heacock said. "It seems like a great concept. We'll be having a meeting on the site and will be discussing this with the city of Bremerton to consider the feasibility of this new roadway."
Lori Whybark, secretary of the Kitsap Lake Neighborhood Association, said diverting truck traffic from Kitsap Quarry away from West Kitsap Lake Road will no doubt be viewed by her neighborhood as a positive move. When the quarry was operating, traffic and noise were the two major concerns, she said.
Traffic on Northlake Way from Ueland's proposed gravel operations west of Kitsap Lake remains a worry for the community, she said. Perhaps Ueland could find a way to connect those operations by road to Kitsap Quarry and move all the truck traffic out to Werner Road, she added.
Ueland was not encouraging on that front. For one thing, he said, the road would need to traverse steep slopes and cross wetlands to make that work. His company would need to obtain easements from three different property owners, and the road would be expensive to build.
Nothing has changed for the operations proposed on Ueland Tree Farm, he said. Northlake Way remains the route of choice to move that rock and gravel to market.
Before the county will allow Ueland's gravel trucks to use Northlake Way, the company must upgrade portions of the roadway.

Under the direction of Glenn Kane, the Theater Club will present Seussical, Jr. for four performances at the Middle School auditorium.
The play features many of the best-loved creations of Dr. Seuss as they sing and dance, bringing some of the most popular characters in children's literature to life.
Anna Hunt, a seventh grader at the Middle School, plays Gertrude, one of the leads, and she can't wait to get going.
"I'm trying to impress Horton the elephant, Gertrude really likes Horton," Hunt said at rehearsal on Tuesday. Hunt has been performing since she was in fifth grade, and last year had the role of Millie Dillmount in the SMSTC production of "Thoroughly Modern Millie."
"I'm not nervous at all right now, but as soon as we get ready to perform, it'll be a little nerve-wracking," Hunt said. "I love to sing and act, and I have a lot of fun on the stage."
Kane took a moment from getting the kids in costume, adjusting the sound and the lights and said that over 50 students from the fifth through eighth grade make up the cast and crew, and they have been working incredibly hard for months to pull the show off.
"It's been hectic as opening night fast approaches, but hey, that's show business," Kane said.
Kane teaches Communications and TV Production at the Middle School.
Middle School music teacher Jennifer Bowler is assisting Kane as the music director of the show.
Seussical, Jr., is based on the works of Massachusetts native Theodor Seuss Geisel, known as Dr. Seuss to millions of children all over the world.
Stephen Flaherty, Lynne Ahrens and Eric Idle of Monty Python fame conceived the play.
Stephen Flaherty wrote the music for the show, Lynne Ahrens wrote the lyrics.
"All the famous Seuss characters will be there," Kane said. "We've got The Cat in the Hat, we've got Horton, we've got Who's, we even have the Grinch himself."
Tickets for the show are $10, and performances are Thursday April 7, Friday April 8, and Saturday April 9 at 7 p.m. There is a matinee Saturday afternoon, April 9, at 2 p.m.
For tickets and more information on the Swampscott Middle School Theater Club's production of Seussical, Jr., please call 781-596-8820.

Mix: Revirginizer, Jailbreak, Bitrates
The iPhone Elite Dev Team has released a free Revirginizing Tool for iPhone that is able to repair phones that were "bricked" during the 1.1.1 update process, allowing these users to restore their devices, and safely upgrade to the latest version.
A new "instant Jailbreak" has been developed for the iPhone and iPod touch, making installation of third-party native applications a much simpler process. To access the jailbreak, visit jailbreakme.com from an iPhone or iPod touch, and click on the "Install AppSnapp" link. Once completed, Installer.app, a third-party application installer, will be present on your device's home screen.
A small number of iTunes users are reporting problems with the bitrates of iTunes downloads and imports following the installation of Apple's newly-released Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system. It appears that Leopard uses different criteria when determining the bitrate of songs, which is causing some downloads to show different bitrates than expected. An inspection of older iTunes purchases using Leopard showed similar variances in bitrate, suggesting that the differences in bitrate are not new, but are instead being reported differently, if not more accurately, in OS X 10.5.

What Could Be Better Than A Double
]17/05/2013 10.38.16
what could be better than a double If your memories of pleated skirts take you back to the horrors of school uniforms and gymslips then it's time to stand corrected. Pleats are back in fashion for Spring Summer 2011 and they are definitely nothing like the frumpy styles you were forced to wear as a child! It's a really easy trend to wear; perfect for incorporating into daywear or office outfits, yet very ladylike and elegant for evenings too. There are many different styles coming back into fashion - follow our advice guide to make sure you get it right. The winners will represent Big Bazaar clothing and accessories brands alongside Dhoni and Thottumkal. Hoardings were put up in five cities - Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Pune, and Ahmedabad. Print ads were used to approach people in places such as Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, Delhi, Lucknow, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Vizag, Mangalore, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Bhubaneshwar, Guwahati, Ranchi, Surat, Baroda, Kanpur and Zirakhpur.. The text is a bit of a hit or miss thing though and is the biggest miss on the release. While the vast majority of the translation works well there are a number of spelling and grammatical errors that pop up in the story that could really have used a once over with an editor to fix. It feels at times like the text was translated in a stiff way-perhaps by someone to whom English is a second language as the usage doesn match well with more conventional speech. The most investigated system of tunnels lies beneath Earlham Road. In 1823 it was rediscovered; colourful lighting was put in place and it soon became a popular tourist attraction. The 1600-feet-square grid is a maze of tunnels and some of the passageways were given attractive names. Many dresses that hit the best dressed list managed to also hit the worst dressed list as well for reasons that are more a matter of personal taste such as color choosing or length of the dress. Hayden Panettiere gown was one such person. The "Nashville" star wore a gold and sheer blue metallic gown by Marchesa that was beautiful. For winter bridal fashion, the classic style of Princess Kate's gown has had the expected influence on gown designs. Long sleeves, lace details, and even ruffles are all evident. Of course, the vintage look never seems to go out of style. But Trysumers are more likely to respond to marketing that lowers the barriers of decision for a quick purchase. Trysumers will respond to retail experiences that allow them to try out products before they actually buy them. Welcome to sampling as a traditional advertising medium..

June 23, 2012, 7:21 AM — If you work on the Web, you've probably been asked to do some simple image editing, even if your job has little or nothing to do with the artistic side of things. The standard image editors that came with your computer are fine for basic tasks, but complex editing typically requires the more sophisticated functions of Adobe Photoshop. This can be a problem, since Photoshop's $600 price tag is rather hefty.
Serious artists still need (or at least prefer) to use Photoshop to take care of business. But if you merely have to crop an image on occasion or do some light image editing, you can find tons of free and easy-to-use alternatives that replicate Photoshop's best features without making you pay the price.
[ FREE DOWNLOAD: 6 things every IT person should know ]
What Tasks Are These Editors Good For?
Free image editors excel at midrange image manipulation. High-end image editing (manipulating individual layers of complicated image files, for instance) is best done in Photoshop. On the other hand, you can perform most rudimentary tasks in the free image editor that came with your computer. For example, if you simply need to crop or resize an image, Windows Photo Gallery and Apple's Preview each have the tools you need. Just look for the proper command: On a Windows PC, both crop and resize are located in the Fix menu, and Mac users should look under Tools.
If you need to do more with your pictures, pick up one of the free image editors outlined below. These editors are ideal for tasks such as creating simple multilayer images and exporting them in various file formats. You may not have to do this sort of thing often, but these programs can be useful if you're trying to merge several images into one, or if you need to spice up a boring shot. You could, say, alter the background behind a subject to place the person in a new environment, add a company logo to your images, or construct a new logo out of stock photography.
Which Editor Should I Use?
Linux: Fans of GIMP often tout it as the "Free Photoshop," and of all the free image editors on the market, it comes closest to matching Adobe Photoshop's capabilities. Not only does GIMP replicate Photoshop's default functions and tools faithfully, but it also has its own plug-in architecture, so (in theory) GIMP can be just as flexible as the "real thing."

Andrew Davies column: I was aching to get back, now I'm just aching!
7:00pm Thursday 30th January 2014 in Sport By Andrew Davies
It was painful getting out of bed on Wednesday morning – but it was worth it to be back playing again.
It's what you've worked hard for during all those hours in the gym. Everything was geared towards getting back on that pitch.
There's pressure on you to do well but I love all that. It's what it's all about and, having come back from injury before, I know how to get my body through games.
The knee was a little bit sore towards the end but I expected that. I've obviously not had much training or any reserve games but the timing was there and I didn't feel rusty.
The gaffer had a laugh about me appearing on the left wing a couple of times. I forgot I was 29 and thought I was 18 again!
I even surprised myself with the crosses I got in. It would have been brilliant if Hans had got on the end of one.
If it takes me running 60 yards up the pitch to create room for someone else, then I'll do that. I will push myself to the limit, no matter what the situation is.
But I don't think I've got a new career as a winger. It was just the excitement of being back again.
The biggest problem was running back afterwards. It's a long way to the other end of the pitch!
With both teams down to ten men, there was more room to play in, which didn't make it any easier as a defender. It was end to end but we're happy with the clean sheet – it would have been even better if we could have nicked the win.
Wolves away is a game everybody wants to play in. You want to play against the best in a good stadium and I know we can get a result there if we perform.
No disrespect to places like Accrington Stanley and Wimbledon last season but you play those sort of games to get into this position.
When the opportunity finally comes around, you've got to grab it with both hands and go out there and express yourself.

Four years ago, Haiti was struck with an earthquake that took more than 100,000 lives and affected millions. Southbrook Church in Weddington is continuing to make it their mission to help out with relief efforts.
Geoff Janes is the missions pastor at Southbrook. Since the earthquake, he has been to Haiti 14 times and taken over 100 church members. His office displays different keepsakes of the country that has become so familiar to him – a Haitian Bible, a Haitian representation of the Lord's Supper and even a piece of tile from an orphanage they have worked on.
"Our first trip down there seemed rather chaotic to us," Janes said.
His teams have helped with medical clinics, spiritual growth conferences and construction of two major projects: the rebuilding of a church that was destroyed and the building of an orphanage.
"Every time I take people there, it strikes a fresh wound of the hurt and the pain and the need," Janes said.
Janes says that while sending money for relief efforts is needed, those in Haiti have even more expressed gratitude for their time and energy of being there in person.
"Showing them that they're important enough for me to go there in person, that gives them hope," Janes said. "We've been going so regularly – there were a lot of teams that went down right after the earthquake and a lot of that has stopped. They've picked up on that and they think they're forgotten."
Southbrook member Kyle Snider has been on one mission to Haiti, and is going back with a group this February. He was able to help work on the orphanage and now is returning with hopes of seeing the fruits of his labor – smiling children.
"I've seen this orphanage at a construction phase and now I'm going to get to go back and there's going to be kids there," Snider said.
The children of the orphanage have shown him how to make use of even the most every-day objects.
"The kids got one of our water bottles and they started playing kickball with it," Snider said. "So they are not limited with their imaginations."
Southbrook will be hosting a fundraiser for their February mission Tuesday evening at In The Mood Café in Matthews at 5:30 p.m. There will be a buffet, magic, balloons, face painting and a raffle.

Responsible tourism
Morocco Highlights is fully involved in sustainable tourism in its purest sense, our tours and holidays attempt to make a low impact on the environment and local culture, while helping to generate income, employment, and the conservation of local ecosystems. All our activities are both ecologically and culturally sensitive.
Thus, all Morocco Highlights activities have minimal impact on the environment and culture of the host community.
Our philosophy is to provide activities lead to the management of all resources in such a way that economic, social and aesthetic needs can be fulfilled while maintaining cultural integrity, essential ecological processes, biological diversity and life support systems to our guests.
Taking a leaf from the definition of sustainability itself, Morocco Highlights sustainable tourism program is also defined as a process which meets the needs of our present guests and host communities whilst protecting and enhancing needs in the future
Sustainability principles refer to the environmental, economic, and socio-cultural aspects of tourism development, and a suitable balance must be established between these three dimensions to guarantee its long-term sustainability.

Besides the obvious fact that his music is as addictive as the substance he rhymes about, everything from pulling the album off iTunes to handing out lyric sheets to critics shows how much this album means to Jay. Here's an artist who, though well established as an epitome of success, is still concerned with how his art is consumed.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
We're told that Jay-Z saw an early screening of the film and was reminded of his own grimy past. Thus, a concept album was born. The CD revolves around a central character -- a cross between Frank Lucas and Young Shawn Carter. It's worth noting that Jay made sure to draw a distinction between his real life outcome and Lucas' to avoid any misconceptions. "Please don't compare me to other rappers," he quips on "No Hook", "Compare me to trappers. I'm more Frank Lucas than Ludacris. And Luda's my dude, I ain't trying to dis. Like Frank Lucas is cool, but I ain't tryin' to snitch," to which Lucas angrily replied "Please tell Mr. Jay-Z to watch his mouth."
The Good, The Bad, The Gangsta
The album mirrors the movie closely. Jay attempts to replicate specific scenes, while peppering his narratives with Denzel Washington(he plays Frank Lucas) soundbites. Jigga perfectly captures the movie's melodramatic vibe and emotion as well.
Like a well-scripted epic, Jay's interpretation of American Gangster follows a logical trajectory. The celebratory "Roc Boys," with its triumphant horns captures the glitz and glam that accompany success. Nas assists with "Success," in which both rappers rhyme about the gift and the curse of being on top. Jay boasts, "I got watches I ain't seen in months, apartment in the Trump I only slept in once." Nas brags, "Old cribs I sold y'all drive by like monuments/ Google-Earth Nas, I got flats in other continents."
The measured braggadocio continue on "I know" and "Party Life." The latter a faux-seduction groove, laced over sultry vocals and smooth guitar riffs.
All good things, they say, must come to an end. So, typically, the young hustler falls to grace at the end of the album. "Fallin'" the album's dramatic climax, finds Jermaine Dupri (surprisingly) supplying a waterfall of crashing strings and surging keys, while Jay highlights the dichotomies of drug abuse: "The irony of selling drugs is sorta like you're using it/ Guess there's two sides to what substance abuse is."
Musically Explosive
Just like the lyrics are patterned like scenes from the movie, American Gangster is also a musical reflection of the 70s era. Lush soul samples lay the backdrop for Jay's recitals. The ghost of Marvin Gaye's classic "Soon I'll Be Loving You Again" provides a smooth soundbed for "American Dreamin'"; Beefy organ loops from The Isley Brother's "Between the Sheets" help shape "Ignorant "Sh*t". Fortunately, Diddy and his reunited Hitmen crew keep American Gangster musically rich with live instrumentation cinematic grooves. DJ Toomp turns in a memorable effort on the "Say Hello," which borrows from Tom Brock's "The Love We Share is the Greatest of Them All."
The Bottom Line on American Gangster
Thanks to the potent tracks and instrumentally dense production, American Gangster ranks among Jay's top 5 albums. But it's hardly perfect. You'll have to weave through two introductory tracks, marred by corny spoken-word vocals, to get to the first great record. Then, it immediately plunders tail-first into mediocrity with the next song, a badly placed Lil' Wayne collaboration dubbed "Hello Brooklyn 2.0." Weezy's off-kilter crooning leaves nothing be desired, and the song sticks out like a sore thumb.

Soldier Boy
Sweet Willie
There comes a fellow with a derby hat
They say he's jealous, but what of that
If he is jealous I am gay
I can get a sweetheard any day.
(chorus) Go
Go bring me back t he one I love
Go bring my darling back to me
They say that he loves another girl
If true he's proven false to me.
There sits a bird on yonder tree
They say he's blind and cannot see
If I had only been like he
Before I'd a-kept your company.
Captain, Captain, tell me true
Does my Sweet Willie sail with you
No, no, he does not sail with me
He's waiting on the deep blue sea.
Papa, papa, build a boat
That down the river I may float
And every ship that I pass by
I'll listen for Sweet Willie's cry.
I wish I was a little bird
A darling , darling little bird
Right to Sweet Willie I would fly
And there I'd lay me down and die.
Girls, oh, girls, you'd better mind
A good true boy is hard to find
When you find one that's just and true
Change not the old one for the new.
(Edith Walker, Boone, North Carolina)

So yeah Mikel Leshoure has had quite the day, with the marijuana charges. But no people, he is not freaking Charles Rogers. That is jumping to extreme conclusions due to his mistake.
I'll admit I am scared for the situation and memories of the past come to my mind as well. But when I see comments such as "cut him, trade up to get the bet running back in the draft" or "Leshoure only knows the streets, he won't change" it seems a bit harsh to me. I am not defending his actions, yes he broke the law, yes he will pay the punishment, but is he going to fail in the NFL, be talentless, get fat, lazy and go bankrupt? Probably not, so please stop jumping on your trampolines of conclusions. You can judge the man when those things actually occur.
This is just my opinion, after Stafford I will give players second chances. This is different due to law breaking but I also trust our front office to handle this wisely and do what is necessary. Technically he is still a second string running back, so breathe and have faith in our Lions.

John Andre - Early Life & Career:
John Andre was born May 2, 1750, in London, England. The son of Huguenot parents, his father Antione was a Swiss-born merchant while his mother, Marie Louise, hailed from Paris. Though initially educated in Britain, Andre's father later sent him to Geneva for schooling. A strong student, he was known for his charismatic manner, skill at languages, and artistic ability. Returning in 1767, he was intrigued by the military, but lacked the means to purchase a commission in the British Army. Two years later, he was compelled to enter business following the death of this father.
During this period, Andre met Honora Sneyd through his friend Anna Seward. The two were engaged, though the wedding could not occur until he had built his fortune. In this time their feelings cooled and the engagement was terminated. Having accumulated some money, Andre elected to return to his desire for a military career. In 1771, Andre purchased a lieutenant's commission in the British Army and was sent to the University of Göttingen in Germany to study military engineering. After two years of courses, he was ordered to join the 23rd Regiment of Foot (Welsh Regiment of Fusiliers).
John Andre - Early Career in the American Revolution:
Traveling to North America, Andre arrived in Philadelphia and moved north via Boston to reach his unit in Canada. With the outbreak of the American Revolution in April 1775, Andre's regiment moved south to occupy Fort Saint-Jean on the Richelieu River. In September, the fort was attacked by American forces led by Brigadier General Richard Montgomery. After a 45-day siege, the British garrison surrendered. Among the prisoners, Andre was sent south to Lancaster, PA. There he resided with the family of Caleb Cope until formally exchanged in late 1776.
John Andre - A Rapid Rise:
During his time with the Copes, he gave art lessons and compiled a memoir regarding his experiences in the colonies. Upon his release, he presented this memoir to General Sir William Howe who was commanding British forces in North America. Impressed by the young officer's skills, Howe promoted him to captain in the 26th Foot on January 18, 1777 and recommended him as an aide to Major General Charles Grey. Taken onto Grey's staff, Andre saw service at the Battle of Brandywine, Paoli Massacre, and Battle of Germantown.
That winter, as the American army endured hardship at Valley Forge, Andre enjoyed life during the British occupation of Philadelphia. Living in Benjamin Franklin's house, which he later looted, he was a favorite of the city's Loyalist families and entertained numerous ladies such as Peggy Shippen. In May 1778, he planned and executed the elaborate Mischianza party given in honor of Howe before the commander's return to Britain. That summer, the new commander, General Sir Henry Clinton, elected to abandon Philadelphia and return to New York. Moving with the army, Andre took part in the Battle of Monmouth on June 28.
John Andre - A New Role:
After a series of raids in New Jersey and Massachusetts later that year, Grey returned to Britain. Due to his superb conduct, Andre was promoted to major and made adjutant-general of the British Army in America. Reporting directly to Clinton, Andre proved to be one of a few officers who could penetrate the commander's prickly demeanor. In April 1779, his portfolio was expanded to include overseeing the British Secret Intelligence network in North America. A month later, Andre received word from noted American commander Major General Benedict Arnold that he wished to defect.
John Andre - Plotting with Arnold:
Arnold, then commanding at Philadelphia, had married Peggy Shippen who used her prior relationship with Andre to open a line of communications. A secret correspondence ensued in which Arnold expressed a desire for equal rank and pay in the British Army in exchange for his loyalty. While Arnold negotiated with Andre and Clinton regarding compensation, the he began providing a variety of intelligence. That fall communications were broken off when the British balked at Arnold's demands. Sailing south with Clinton late that year, Andre took part in the operations against Charleston, SC in early 1780.
Returning to New York late that spring, Andre resumed contact with Arnold who was to take command of the key fortress at West Point in August. The two men began corresponding regarding a price for Arnold's defection and the surrender of West Point to the British. On the night of September 20, 1780, Andre sailed up the Hudson River aboard HMS Vulture to meet with Arnold. Slipping ashore on the night of the 21st, he met the American in the woods near Stony Point, NY and traveled to the house of Thomas Smith to complete the deal. Talking through the night, Arnold agreed to sell his loyalty and West Point for £20,000.
John Andre - Capture:
Dawn arrived before the deal was completed and American troops began firing on Vulture forcing it to retreat down the river. Trapped behind American lines, Andre was compelled to return to New York by land. To aid in his journey, Arnold provided him with civilian clothes and a pass for getting through the American lines. He also gave Andre a set of papers detailing West Point's defenses. Using the name "John Anderson," he rode south and fared well until around 9:00 AM on September 23 when he was stopped near Tarrytown, NY by three militiamen.
Questioned by John Paulding, Isaac Van Wart, and David Williams, Andre was tricked into revealing that he was a British officer. Upon being told that he was under arrest, he denied this and offered Arnold's pass. Despite this document, the three men searched him and found Arnold's papers regarding West Point in his stocking. Attempts to bribe the men failed and he was taken to Armonk, NY before arriving at the American headquarters at Tappan, NY where he was imprisoned in a local tavern. Lieutenant Colonel John Jameson, failing to grasp the full situation, initially decided to send Andre and the papers to Arnold at West Point. He was blocked in removing Andre by American intelligence chief Major Benjamin Tallmadge, but forwarded on the papers. Their arrival tipped Arnold that he had been compromised and allowed him to escape capture.
Having been captured behind the lines wearing civilian clothes and using a false name, Andre was immediately considered to be a spy and treated as such. Tallmadge, a friend of executed American spy Nathan Hale, informed Andre that he expected that he would hang. Though the rules of war would have allowed for Andre's immediate execution, General George Washington moved deliberately as he investigated the scope of Arnold's betrayal. To try Andre, he convened a board of officers headed by Major General Nathanael Greene and including notables such as Brigadier General Henry Knox and Baron Friedrich von Steuben. In his trial, Andre claimed that he had been unwillingly trapped behind enemy lines and that as a prisoner of war was entitled to attempt escape in civilian clothes. These arguments were dismissed and on September 29, he was found guilty of being a spy sentenced to hang.
Though he wished to save his favorite aid, Clinton was unwilling to meet Washington's demand of turning over Arnold. Requests that Andre be executed by firing squad were also denied. Though liked by his captors, he was taken to Tappan on October 2 and hung. His body was initially buried under the gallows but was removed at the Duke of York's behest in 1821 and re-interred at Westminster Abbey in London. In reflecting on Andre, Washington wrote, "He was more unfortunate than criminal."

I just have to vent because I'm so f'n sick of this. This is a note to anyone who questions Bill Self as Kansas basketball coach and his tournament record.
I think that by in large, most KU fans see this for what it is. But I'm just so tired of this questioning Bill Self.
Do people not see how fucking hard it is to win this damn tournament?
Don't be arrogant. We have one of the best college basketball coaches in the country. You don't just go to Final Fours every year. Have you watched this tournament before or has it just been since Coach Self has taken over at KU? Don't be that fan, don't be that KU fan that everyone is embarrassed by.
When questioning Bill Self, a lot of people like to talk about his tournament record. Well honestly, as a KU fan one thing we can say is, who really gives a shit about your tournament record? Yeah, the first and second round exits hurt, but in the end we don't care unless we win the whole damn thing! We just think it hurts worse because all the envious fans of what we have in a program take every chance they can get to cut us down. This isn't because we aren't good, it's because we fucking rule! They wish they had what we have and so it makes them feel better. To me, 2003 and the loss to Syracuse in the National Championship still hurts way worse than the loss to Bucknell in the first round. If you don't feel the same way, explain to me why and I'll definitely hear you out.
A lot of people like to bring up Coach K and his successes. Why not? He's one of the greatest coaches in college basketball history at one of the top 5 programs in college basketball. Coach K has won 4 National Championships in 30 years of coaching. 30 years. 30 years! This sums it up to me on how much bs it is to question Bill Self's time at Kansas:
The most recent member of the "Four or More Titles" club is Duke University head coach Mike Krzyzewski. "Coach K" led the Blue Devils to back-to-back Division I National Championships in 1991 and 1992. Krzyzewski and Duke would not win another title until 2001, and then suffered another nine-year drought before winning their most recent title in 2010. "Coach K" is currently the only active Division I coach with at least 4 National Championships under his belt.
'91 and '92. We know that the early 90's were a special time for the Duke program and college basketball as a whole. But after that magical run, Duke didn't win another one for 9 more years! Then, they waited another 9 years to win another! We just won a title in 2008.
Is this your first time watching this tournament? The ball wouldn't go in, we shot horribly from the field, the line, and the referees wanted to play Fairy God Mother to Cinderella. These are things that no coach, anywhere, can control!
So I want to say that if you made it through this rant, thank you for reading. I also want to say that if you disagree with me, please tell me why. Please, logically give me reasons why you think I'm wrong, and in fact, Bill Self is not a good coach. I'd like to have the discussion if you legitimately believe it, and I'd like to have the opportunity to discuss with you why I think you're wrong.

To the editor:
I join with, I dare say, the great majority of Americans in this country who gladly see that our government is "up and running" again.
My hope for the future of our democracy remains intact because courage subdues unpalatable tactics.
Make no mistake.
This debacle was not truly about the Affordable Care Act, nor fully about the debt ceiling but about bringing down the government down to be shaped according to a universe occupied by a frenzied few. These frenzied few have gathered strength in the boldness needed to bring about their extreme adherence to a far right agenda.
They do not realize, yet, that the bulk of this nation's ideals lies squarely in middle America's ideals, which are steady, patriotic and mixed in with great doses of common sense.
The tactics of blackmail, when uncovered, never bode well. We Americans will keep our individual views of what we want for our country (our precious freedom of speech) but we need to be careful of how we bring our views to bare.
The tactics used in this chaotic delirium brought our country to the brink of disaster.
Much has been lost in terms of hardworking Americans living from paycheck to paycheck, in terms of legitimate subsidies to feed our children and a big dip in credibility worldwide.
I do not despair that we can never fully recover — of course we can. Just know that in dollars this shutdown has cost us $24,000,000,000,000. Count the zeros. It is a truisim that one needs to "be careful what you wish for."
The "survivalists" in our country have been preparing for the end of the world during these past two weeks: no joke. They have shifted from going up in flames to fearing an economic meltdown of disastrous proportions. Extremes come in all sizes — a sidebar of individual freedoms.

Police hoping for peaceful day at Notting Hill Carnival
Police overseeing Europe's biggest street festival, the Notting Hill Carnival, will be hoping for a peaceful conclusion to the celebrations today despite at least two stabbings.
Hundreds of Thousands of revellers will flock to the capital for the carnival's headline day where a parade of floats and brightly-dressed performers will snake through the streets of London.
The festivities on Sunday were largely peaceful but one 20-year-old man was left in a serious but stable condition after being stabbed in the back and buttocks. The Met Police also said a 14-year-old boy was slashed with a sharp object and a 16-year-old girl suffered a superficial leg wound.
An extra 2,000 police officers will be drafted in to support the carnival today, bringing the total to 7,000. Scotland Yard have arrested 96 people so far, mainly for drug and public order offences as well as robbery and assault.

Renfrew on top by 1 at Canadian Tour opener
Victoria, BC (Sports Network) - Cory Renfrew posted a four-under 66 on Saturday to move one stroke clear of the field after three rounds of the Times Colonist Island Savings Open, the first event of the season on the Canadian Tour.
Renfrew, who is playing in only his second Canadian Tour event, finished 54 holes at nine-under-par 201.
Jeffrey Rangel also carded a 66 to move into a share of second place at minus- six. He was joined there by second-round leader Derek Gillespie (71) and Lucas Lee (70).
First-round leader Andrew Roque stumbled to a one-over 71 to slip into fifth place at five-under-par 205 at Uplands Golf Club.
Renfrew had bookend birdies on the front nine as he birdied the first and ninth. He made it two in a row with a birdie on the 10th.
The 26-year-old Canadian birdied the 14th to get to minus-nine. Renfrew stumbled to a bogey on the 17th, but erased that mistake with a birdie at the last.
Matt Jager fired a five-under 65 to soar into a share of sixth place at four- under-par 206. He was joined there by Jaime Gomez (67), Nick Taylor (69), Brad Tilley (69), Matt Marshall (70), Chris Cunningham (67), Jeff Burton (68) and Paul Peterson (71).
NOTES: Renfrew played this event as an amateur in 2006, but missed the cut by two strokes...Jager's 65 matched the second-best score of the week behind Roque's first-round 64.

The Real Housewives of New York City Recap: Debt Becomes Her ...by Free Britney at . Comments
Be it in Morocco or New York, the Real Housewives can't stay out of trouble or each other's business. Let's recap their ups and downs with our +/- review!
On her return from Morocco, Ramona sets up a serious date night. Negligee, rose petals, the works but Mario leaves her waiting which gets a Minus 5.
Ramona tells him about the fortune teller. Wow, that took some guts. Of course he denies that there's anyone else and hey, we have no proof that there is but Mario just comes off sleazy to me. Then Ramona gives him a foot massage. Did anyone else feel like she was trying too hard?
Simon gets a Plus 8 for being the only husband to pick his wife up at the airport. That is always romantic but the basket full of panties and Simon's comments while Alex models the lingerie made me cringe. What really killed it for me was having to listen to Simon's cheesy lines. I suppose Alex must find it a turn on but Minus 5 for me.
Cindy's slideshow was making me dizzy and I can't believe Sonja cut her out of all of the photos. Petty but very funny and I'll give Sonja a Plus 5 for admitting it.
Sonja takes a trampoline class? For adults and coed? OK, I'm out of the loop. What the heck goes on in a trampoline class?
Sonja keeps the tags on all of her clothes. Minus 7 for being incredibly tacky. And yet she's declaring bankruptcy for $19 million. Whatever happened must have been a very bad business deal. Damn. There's obviously details we're not getting. I'm wondering if Sonja even understands them all herself.Yeah, Jill earned a Minus 7 for inappropriate questions in a public setting. I think Jill starts off trying to be helpful but takes it too far. On the other hand, Sonja's an adult and can tell her she doesn't want to discuss it any more.
Jill's certainly in her element designing Bobby's suits. Now she's branding her husband's shirts with her initials. I'll give her Plus 5 for that one. Never would have occurred to me.
Jill's developing shapewear and having a Housewives focus group. She didn't invite Ramona and that seems petty on her part, especially after they vowed to start over after Morocco so Minus 5.
Even worse, it felt like Alex couldn't wait to run and tell Ramona. For all of Alex's peacemaking talk, she certainly goes out of her way to cause trouble. Alex earns a Minus 6.
The fight of the week goes to Luann and Alex. Alex just can't let it go. She carries this fight all the way from Morocco. Luann actually lasts longer at the lunch than I expected.
Alex is absolutely right when she calls Luann out for being haughty and dismissive. However the part I love is that the Countess honestly doesn't give a damn. "Even Louis Vuitton makes mistakes." Plus 10 for unapologetically owning that superiority complex.
Tune in next week when it looks like Ramona jumps back on the crazy train. Until then, keep in mind that even high end designers can make Herman Munster shoes.
I'm so OVER the housewives..they either file bankrupcy after making us watch their overingulgence pretending to be affluent or playing to the camera in hopes of landing a Bethany-type show.
I'm switching to Mob Wives!!!!
i have no idea how to feel anymore about all these lost housewives of.... planet earth. geeze louise. they need guidance, like most of us i supose. they dont have the luxury of scripts like real tv shows. the bloopers happen right in front of us. oh well. good luck to the one in debt.. i hope she gets re-run money from bravo. do they get paid??? just curious
dear god. i turn the channel and i see ramona laying the bomb on him, ON CAMERA about the physics revelation of 'another woman'. he covers very nicely, i imagine cuz he knows her so dam well. then we see alex and her man, as alex is trying on all those new clothes. ramona is so weird. alex is weird. both their husbands were put on the spot, and had to appear as KEN DOLLS, while their wives were in over drive to arouse them. I turned the channel. it was embarrassing to watch the 4 of them being so dammed uncomfortable. ewwwwwwwwwwwww
A friend of mine, Les Hilton, no longer living, owned & trained the horse Mr. Ed. I asked Les once what he looked at first when assessing a new horse. I thought he would say legs, teeth, or feet. Nope. He said the eyes. He wanted to see if a horse had a 'kind eye'. It's the same with people. I know several whom I wouldn't trust a bit based on that standard. A great example of a not-so-kind eye is Ramona. If she were a horse I wouldn't walk around behind her, as she would probably kick you when least expected.
LMAO you go girl....who's SWARMY now...LMAO
Yo seeko........LMAO...... Get some urban speek....lol.. Swarmy is a conflation of the words "swarthy" and "smarmy". Originally intended to be an insulting term referring to an unsavoury person with a shallow personality and a less-than-appealing set of grooming and dress habits. TUNE IN TOMORROW AND I MAY EVEN TEACH YOU HOW TO GOOGLE IN ONE EASY STEP..LMAO......
people it just a show and do you really thinks people act this way in real life get over it thats why bravo has these shows. stop being so judgemental about everything thing life is to short move on no one really cares it seems you still watches it. and just want to bring them down to your size and no iam not that ramona i had this name before her. and remember no one is perfect. god bless..
"Swarmy?" Like, they're a swarm?? I think you meant "smarmy." Didn't your spellcheck try to tell you that your "word" wasn't one? Seriously the public education system in this country is the reason Americans are currently just like Nero, fiddling while Rome burns. (Do you even know to what that refers???)
It sounds like the reviewer finds them as idiotic as the rest of us. Luann and Alex were so petty and pathetic it was funny. Luann stoops to making fun of her shoes? Have they completely regressed back to high school? These women are pathetic but it's entertaining to watch but you wouldn't want to know the in real life. They're horrible but funny.
The show is ridiculous, especially in an economy where real people are absolutely suffering. Feeling sorry for some bitch with a bunch of lawyers who will get her out of 19 millions dollars in debt so she can just turn right around and get herself back in it? Please, I'm crying; if I arrange my schedule carefully, I might be able to pencil in a sob. But, you know the thing that I find MOST aggravating? I find most annoying the fact this is considered ENTERTAINMENT and these women are praised by people like the reviewer for their absolute vileness. "Minus 100" to all THAT crap, thanks.

NOTE 3: Failure sequence will be abbreviated as FS. ====== DISC 1 ====== HANA FS1 - Before killing the third guard by turning the valve on steam pipe, try climbing down the ladder on guard's side. He'll shoot you and Hana will fall off ladder screaming to her death. FS2 - Once you turn on the electricity, walk on electric floor to speed up your heart bypass. FS3 - During the shootout shoot Jin for Kabooom! FS3 (alternative) - Let the 6 minute bomb timer run and see if you can make it back to the helicopter.

GLAS FS5 - Fail to run away on the ladder / Fail to climb the ladder fast enough and an explosion from heli's greeting rocket will send you to meet your maker. FS6 - When climbing over the big container, some paparazzi will try to photograph you. As you take position, you'll be shredded apart by the big mean machine gun. So much for the fans... FS7 - Once the second heli is defeated, don't run away. Instead face your pursuers who will change your face description. ====== DISC 2 ====== GLAS FS8 - There'll be a bridge that zombies will continually ignite on fire. When walking over the bridge, set yourself on fire. DEKE FS9 - When you get in the train, you'll have to face a big bastard, who's hiding himself behind some explosives. Cool!

FS11 - While fighting two goons on top of the train walk near... ummm, I mean over the edge of the train to fall down. Sploootch! FS12 - Clear the top of the train.

HANA FS16 - Once you engage in battle against the madam, allow Wee Ming to engage in one-on-one with one of many enemies. ====== DISC 4 ====== HANA FS17 - After changing clothes about five times already, I think it'd be a good time for Hana to take a bath. Just walk casually into the water from one of the sinking stones. GLAS FS18 - Hmmm, Indiana Jones puzzle... Just walk whenever you're ready. Oh look, a holy grail is *under* here... FS19 - When you obtain Stone Sword (dang, I thought I'd obtain holy grail), you'll see that the true path is now revealed. Hmm, I wonder what's down there. Go and take a look. FS20 - I knew that over half my body contains water, but I never figured this would mean *that* many (get killed in boss battle against Deke). ====== DISC 2 ====== HANA FS21 - (When given option, select Glas) You're the man, Glas... shooting an innocent woman... FS22 - Oh no! King of Hell got me. Nooo! It's time to go berserk... maybe when this is over, we'll have a chance to create a better world.

U.S. stocks were trading higher Wednesday, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average recently added 78 points to 13978, the Standard & Poor's rose nine points to 1506, and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 20 points to 3150. Among the companies with shares actively trading are Priceline.com Inc. (PCLN), First Solar Inc. (FSLR) and Accretive Health Inc. (AH).
Priceline.com's ($696.87, +$18.38, +2.71%) bookings momentum was back on the ascent in fourth quarter, with earnings rising 28% as international business surged. The company's adjusted earnings came in ahead of guidance.
First Solar ($26.12, -$5.24, -16.71%) swung to a fourth-quarter profit as the solar-panel maker's revenue strengthened and as hefty goodwill impairment charges weighed on year-ago results. The company provided weak guidance for the current quarter. Shares of fellow solar panel maker SunPower Corp. (SPWR, $10.72, -$0.97, -8.30%) were also down.
Accretive Health ($9.04, -$3.07, -25.35%) is postponing the release of its fourth-quarter and full-year results because it is evaluating the timing of revenue recognition for its revenue-cycle management agreements. The company said it is withdrawing the financial guidance it provided in November.
Other Stocks To Watch:
Big 5 Sporting Goods Corp. (BGFV, $16.20, +$1.05, +6.93%) swung to a fiscal fourth-quarter profit as revenue rose and impairment charges hurt the company's year-earlier results. However, the sporting goods retailer provided upbeat earnings guidance for the first-quarter and raised its quarterly dividend.
Speaking at its annual investor day, Brinker International Inc. (EAT, $34.64, +$2.60, +8.11%) said that after four years of not opening net new restaurants, the restaurant chain operator plans to open about 1 Chili's Grill & Bar a month. Brinker also gave a favorable long-term earnings growth target, saying that the company could achieve its previous planned doubling of per-share earnings from FY10 to FY15 to between $2.75 and $2.80, as soon as FY14.
Telecommunications company Cincinnati Bell Inc. (CBB, $3.61, -$0.54, -13.01%) reported a fourth-quarter loss when analysts were looking for a profit and guided for full-year revenue slightly below analysts' estimates.
M&A chatter swirled around Coach Inc. (COH, $48.50, +$2.00, +4.30%) after DealReporter said the handbag maker is rumored to be exploring a sale, according to two industry bankers. A spokeswoman for Coach told Dow Jones it doesn't comment on speculation or rumors.
CommonWealth REIT (CWH, $22.95, -$1.46, -5.96%), an office properties-focused real-estate investment trust, said it plans to proceed with its planned stock sale and debt-buyback offer despite threats by Related Cos. and Corvex Management LP to make a play to shake up the company's management if it failed to cancel the offers.
DineEquity Inc.'s (DIN, $75.33, +$3.05, +4.22%) fourth-quarter earnings fell 34% as the owner of Applebee's and IHOP posted fewer gains from asset sales as it transitioned to a franchise-run model. Per-share earnings just beat analysts' estimates, and after seeing IHOP's same-restaurant sales fall for more than two years, DineEquity isn't discounting the potential of rising same-restaurant sales in 2013.
Dollar Tree Inc.'s (DLTR, $45.50, +$4.42, +10.76%) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings rose 22% as the discount retailer continued to post strong sales growth as shoppers spent more during their visits to its stores. "On top of a very strong fourth-quarter performance in 2011, average basket size increased and customers responded this year in record numbers," President and Chief Executive Bob Sasser said.
DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. (DWA, $16.16, -$0.45, -2.71%) said Tuesday it took a write-down of $165 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 due to the weak box-office performance of one movie and the decision to halt production of another. It reported it swung to a loss for the fourth-quarter.
Gulfport Energy Corp.'s (GPOR, $38.59, +$2.63, +7.31%) much-anticipated longer-term production data from the Utica Shale arrived in conjunction with strong fourth-quarter earnings and was bullish, said Sterne Agee in a note. The independent oil and gas company's fourth-quarter earnings per-share beat consensus. "On the earnings front it was a strong, albeit messy quarter, with a lot of moving parts," said Sterne.

Names for Gwent crime commissioner elections confirmed
2:17pm Friday 19th October 2012 in News By David Deans - Politics reporter
FOUR names are in the ring for next month's police and crime commissioner elections - with two independents running against two party candidates.
Independents Ian Johnston and Chris Wright - both of whom at former police officers - are to run against Labour's Hamish Sandison and the Conservatives' Nick Webb But today's "statement as to persons nominated" omitted mention of former Blaenau Gwent leader Des Hilman and ex-UK government minister Ron Davies.
Both had indicated they were interested in the position and might take part but neither were nominated as candidates.
It is now too late for either of them to join in - with the deadline for nominations having closed at midday today.
But in truth the list of candidates would have come as little surprise to followers of the Gwent campaign so far, with all individuals that had actively campaigned prior to the deadline being nominated.
Candidates had to put up a deposit of £5,000 and collect 100 signatures in support.
According to the statement - which doesn't give precise addresses - Mr Johnston's home address is in the Caerphilly county ward of Penmaen, while Mr Sandison is listed as living at Llangybi in Monmouthshire.
Mr Webb is said to have a home address in Allt-yr-yn in Newport ward while Mr Wright is noted as from Llanbradach in Caerphilly county.
The election, taking place on November 15, will include a new voting system where you can select your first and second preference candidate.
At the count the first preferences will be counted, and if a candidate receives more than 50 per cent of the votes cast they are elected.
If no candidate has more than 50 per cent, all candidates apart from those in the first and second place are eliminated.
Votes for those candidates will then have their second choices added to the other candidates first preference votes.

political parties....all the same to me. Rather those than people looking after their own ex pals and vice versa.

All that can be said for independents is that they will never let the electorate down because they have promised them nothing in the first place!

Manage Incoming VoIP Calls with Call Queue
The Call Queue feature allows call centers to manage incoming call volume in an orderly way. The feature queues incoming calls and serves them to agents as they become available. Enjoy the ability to play music, advertising and messages while callers are waiting on hold for the next available representative. Seamlessly integrate with your existing Vocalocity PBX instead of going through a third-party call queuing system.
Call Queue Benefits
- Manage incoming calls to a call center easily and in order received
- Easily upload and change advertising, music, or messages for callers to hear while on hold
- Assign caller to agents in multiple ways; next available, random, least used, etc.
- Manage all PBX features through one provider; no need to use a third-party queuing system
Agents and Assignment Strategy
Choose which extensions can log in to and take calls from the queue. Specify whether calls are sent to available agents randomly, based on a tier system, or to those agents who have been off the phone the longest. Tiers may help you handle high call volume by pulling in agents only when the typical agent's extensions are busy.
Call Queue Voicemail
The Call Queue comes with its own, fully customizable Voicemail box. Allow callers to opt-out of the queue and leave a message. Record or upload a specific Call Queue greeting, and keep track of order requests, reservations and more.
Caller Opt-Out Handling
If your business experiences high call volumes, you may allow callers to opt-out of the queue by pressing any key. Choose what happens to these calls, sending them to voicemail or to another extension, voicemail or feature on your account, and make sure that you get a chance to connect with each caller.
Hold Music
The Call Queue allows you to customize hold music specifically for those waiting in the queue. This Hold Music is separate than the rest of your account, and can be adapted to the Call Queue's purpose.
No Agents Available?
Specify what happens when there are no agents logged in to the Call Queue to take calls. Callers that reach the queue can either be transferred to another extension, leave a message in a voicemail box, or hear a greeting before the call is disconnected. Make sure that each call is handled appropriately, even if no agents are logged in.
Pause Between Calls
Depending on your business, employees may need time to take notes, close cases, or process requests in between calls. Change the Pause Between Calls to give agents more or less time between hanging up the phone and receiving a new queue call.

Strikeforce Middleweight prospect Eric Lawson will look to bounce back off his first loss in three years, this time facing the American Kickboxing Academy product Ron Kesler at preliminary action of next week's Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg fight card. Holding a professional MMA record of 9-3, Eric Lawson is a part-time fighter, looking to overcome a series of injuries and claim his spot in the Strikeforce Middleweight mix.
Eric Lawson currently works as a mortgage broker in the North California area. Before his MMA career, Lawson was a professional BMX rider, competing at the X-Games qualifiers in 2002. You can follow Eric on Twitter @lawsonmma, or add him to your friends on Facebook.
Taking time off his busy training schedule, here's what Eric Lawson had to say about his upcoming bout, life as a part-time fighter and much more:
Your next fight is against Ron Kesler on January 29th at Strikeforce: Diaz vs Cyborg. How are preparations going for this fight?
My preparations are going great. I'm training my butt off. I'm training twice a day, six days a week for a while now. I'm having a really good cardio and conditioning program that I'm doing over in the UFC Gym in Concord. At night I'm doing all my MMA and Jiu-Jitsu sparring. I really want to fight a strong fight against Ron for all three rounds.
There's not much information you can find about Ron Kesler. What do you know about him as an opponent?
Ron Kesler is a strong wrestler. He wrestled in college, has a blue belt in Jiu-Jitsu under Dave Camarillo of AKA. He's a strong guy all overall with a good work ethic. His last fight was against one of our other guys, Josh McDonald, Ron went for all three rounds with him and it was a really close decision. Everyone who comes out of the AKA will be tough. It's going to be tough, he's definitely a game opponent – but I feel like I'm fully ready for this fight.
What do you prepare for him in terms of gameplan?
Well, I've seen his fight where he constantly tries to take his opponent down, and I've seen him fighting only in stand-up. So we are prepared for pretty much everything. We are ready for a high-paced long and scrappy fight.
You are training right now twice a day, but from what I understand you're not a full-time fighter?
Yeah. I have my day job. I do mortgages, real estate loans. The good thing about this job is that I can create my own schedule, so when a fight's coming up I concentrate on training. I'm training a morning before work, go to work and training after it at night. It's definitely a full schedule so the time is going pretty fast. I blink and it's fight time.
What's the main reason behind you not being a full-time fighter?
I've been trying to fight a full time. But I had a string of injuries that took me out of competing. Last year and a half I fought only once because of these injuries. Previously I fought four times a year when healthy. I had a knee surgery, dislocated elbow and a busted rib. All that happened during the last year and a half, so that's why I was a little inactive lately and had to postpone my goals of becoming a full-time fighter.
I think that some people may ask you why you are still doing MMA after getting all these injuries?
I think you are just doing what makes you happy. But still, you have to pay your bills and make a living. For me, I fight for fun and because I love it, and not for money. I do pretty good money with my job. If I could afford it, quit my day job and fight full time it would be fantastic. And that's basically my goal. But for now, the most important thing is to do what you love. MMA is such a tough work, which requires a lot of time and dedication. I can't see anyone doing this sport without being extremely passionate about it, and truly loving MMA for what it is.
How many times do you plan to fight in 2011?
In 2011 I want to fight as much as possible. Hopefully each three months. Fighting four fights would be great, without any injuries along the way.
I don't know if it's alright to ask you, but since you are in the Real Estate business, what do you think about Chael Sonnen's money laundering charges?
Well, what he did was wrong and illegal. I think that there are a lot of people in the Real Estate business that shouldn't be in this business. He did a mistake, a bad choice, so now he has to take a responsibility for his actions. Simple as that.
I wanted to ask you about the Strikeforce Heavyweight Tournament. Who in your opinion has the best chances to win it?
I think it's awesome. The format is great, just like in Bellator. There's no politics behind who gets the title shot, so it's basically up for the fighters. I think it's fantastic and exciting. I think Overeem will come out as a champ. This guy is a freak of nature. He's so big and strong, he will be murdering people. Fedor is also great, but I think that Overeem's got his number.
Where do you see yourself at the end of 2011?
I think 2011 is going to be a year of transition for me to fighting full time. I want to get my fights televised and getting myself name on the map on national level.
You're working with the Alchemist MMA Management. What kind of part they play in your career as a fighter?
They did a great job so far. Everybody on board has a very solid background. So they are pretty smart and good at what they do. It's a great team, and I'm honored to be a part of it. It's a good feeling to know that someone has faith in what you can do. It helps my confidence and my ability to meet my goals for 2011.
Any words for your opponent, Ron Kesler?
I'd say I hope he trains hard, because I train hard. But I'm confident he's preparing well for this fight. I just looking forward to fight him and put up and entertaining show for the fans, that's it.

Hank Freedman has a modern television in his Suwanee residence, has a Facebook page and works a cell phone well.
But he remembers things called test patterns and rabbit ears.
He broke into Atlanta retail in 1946 after Army service in Germany -- at $9,000 a year. After seven years with Davisons, he got a call from a former associate there to join Rich's, then the dominant department store in Atlanta. (Rich's since has been absorbed by Macy's.)
-- Do/did you have any family members who served in the military? Do you have memories of the early days of TV? Share your memories and photos in the comments below.
Freedman recalled WSB debuting in 1948 with little more than a test pattern. Then, both television and his career took off in 1956, when color arrived. "That was my job."
He was involved as Rich's set up a buying group to bring its own television brand to Atlanta. In training in Chicago, buyers had a commitment -- "not to be able to go overseas and talk generalities."
Then came trips to Hong Kong via Japan beginning in 1963. In 1972, he helped introduce Mitsubishi televisions under the MGA label. The acronym was because Mitsubishi "was not sure Americans would accept a product under a Japanese label."
It was lucrative -- markups on the MGA brand were 30 percent, more than for a leading U.S. brand.
The retail career also led to marriage and family. Freedman met wife Betty while at Davisons. "We were on the bowling team," he recalled.
The marriage produced two children, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. A son lives in Suwanee's Morningside subdivision. Family photos are prominent in Freedman's Suwanee residence. "Those granddaughters were everything to her (his wife)."
The marriage was for 51 years, before Betty Freedman died in 2003.
Freedman moved to Suwanee in 2004 from Roswell, and soon after converted to Christianity. He regularly attends Shadowbrook Baptist Church, which is near his residence.
And on Veterans Day 2012, Freedman will drive himself to a special Veterans Day ceremony at Perimeter Church on Highway 141.
"I feel I'm very blessed."

One-off Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid commemorates 1 million Facebook fans
Adorned with 27,000 signatures
To commemorate its one-millionth fan on Facebook, Porsche has built a unique custom-made 911 GT3 R Hybrid race car.
On display in the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, the 480 horsepower 911 GT3 R Hybrid was chosen because it embodies the future of motorsport. However, as a way of saying thank you, Porsche covered the car with the names of more than 27,000 fans. Naturally, 1 million wouldn't fit.
Maybe if they used a smaller font size...
