---- — Logansport's girls basketball team finished last season ranked in the top 5 in Class 4A.
The Berries are starting this year right at No. 5 in the preseason Class 4A poll.
But considering the Berries have lost three starters and five of their top seven players to graduation, Logan coach Jerry Hoover certainly does not think his team is a top 5 team at this point.
"We're not very good. I'll just tell you right now that we're not a team yet," Hoover said. "I don't know anything that we do well. I know we've got a very, very good player and I know we've got another player that's pretty good. But we're not ready to play a game. We're just not very good, that's all. I don't lie to you about that. If we've got a decent team I'd tell you. But we're just not ready to play a game right now, period."
The Berries are led by Miss Basketball candidate Whitney Jennings, a 5-5 senior point guard who's set to sign to play at Iowa today.
Jennings already has 1,778 career points and 498 career assists entering her senior season. She averaged 23.6 points, 7.8 assists, 4.2 steals and 4.5 rebounds per game as a junior.
An Indianapolis Star report on Tuesday said the Miss Basketball race seems to be wide open this year. The report said Jennings, Mt. Vernon's Erica Moore (Purdue), Evansville Mater Dei's Maura Muensterman (Indiana) and Homestead's Sydney Buck (Butler) are the early front-runners. But there is room for other seniors to emerge, the report said.
Hoover has had a good look at all of the players mentioned and said Jennings is the best player in his opinion.
"She's the best player in the state, she's the smartest player in the state and she's the fastest player in the state," he said.
Nakeya Penny, a 5-10 forward, is back for her junior season. She averaged 13.6 points and 6.0 rebounds per game as a sophomore and shot 50.5 percent from the field. She finished the season particularly strong, averaging 15.6 points per game in the Berries' five tournament games.
Hoover thinks Penny is also one of the top players in the state.
"She's probably in the top 30 in the state overall," he said.
After the 1-2 punch of Jennings and Penny, the Berries have just one other player back from last year that saw varsity time in close games in 5-9 junior Sydney Bullard. She started the year last season on the JV but moved up to varsity after Seanna Redman tore her ACL about midway through. Bullard's varsity minutes were sparse and she had 30 points and 45 rebounds on the season.
"She's got a long way to go," Hoover said. "Everybody else has just got to work at it. We've got to figure out who to play. I don't even know about a starting lineup right now. I don't know what our strengths are going to be. I don't know what our weaknesses are going to be.
"I like them. I really like them. I think they're trying hard. But we're not able to guard anybody. We know that we're going to see combination defenses. To prepare for a combination defense takes a lot of time and we've had four days since we got back from China. It's just going to take awhile, that's all."
Samantha Kain and Katrina Neuendorf are the other two seniors on the team joining Jennings. Kain is a 5-9 post player and Neuendorf is a 5-8 defensive specialist.
The Berries have a 6-3 foreign exchange student this year on the team from Germany in Kaddi Winter who might start the year on JV.
Junior guards Emily Prentice and Karli Armstrong are in the mix for varsity time, and 5-9 sophomore guard Kennedy Curl and 5-8 freshman guard Madison Dalton are also on the varsity roster.
The Berries open the season at home on Friday night against McCutcheon. The Mavericks are hosing Class 4A, Sectional 7 this year.
"They've got everybody back," Hoover said. "It's been that way the last five or six years that either us or them win it. I would think it would be the same way this year."
The Berries repeated as North Central Conference champions last year and have won 14 league games in a row. They won all seven NCC games last year by double digits.
But the league has been young the last two years and could be a more hotly contested race this year. The top opponent has been Anderson, which Logan had to erase a fourth-quarter deficit against last year in a win.
The Berries went 25-2 last season and advanced to the regional finals in Class 4A. They have to replace from graduation Rachel Jennings (14.6 ppg), one of the top shooters in the state who is now playing at Bethel, Kiley Victor (5.3, ppg, 8.0 rpg), the second leading rebounder in the NCC, Madyson Price (4.3 ppg, 4.3 rpg), who is playing softball at Ancilla, Redman (2.5 ppg), who is playing softball at Manchester, and Krysta Kyyroenen (2.2 ppg), who has returned to her native Finland.
Coming Thursday: Season previews for Cass, Caston, Pioneer and Winamac.


text: The Jets have made two major trades with the Browns since Eric Mangini took over as head coach in Cleveland. The first was for the pick that turned into Mark Sanchez. The Jets gave up 1st and 2nd round picks, Kenyon Coleman, Abram Elam, and Brett Ratliff. In the second, the Jets got Braylon Edwards. Cleveland gave Jason Trusnik, Chansi Stuckey, and 3rd and 5th round picks. Which team has come out better?

More than half a million Haitians have contracted cholera, and an advocacy group has filed a complaint with the United Nations blaming the fast-moving epidemic on UN peacekeepers who allegedly allowed raw sewage to leach into a tributary of the nation's largest river.
After half a century without a single case of cholera, the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti says, a country already ravaged by a massive earthquake, intractable poverty and waves of political instability has now seen five percent of the population contract the illness, and more than 6,000 people die from it, because of the reckless actions of peacekeepers from Nepal.
"The sickness, death, and ongoing harm from cholera suffered by Haiti's citizens are a product of the UN's multiple failures," states the complaint filed by the advocacy group, which represents more than 5,000 cholera victims and their families. "These failures constitute negligence, gross negligence, recklessness, and deliberate indifference for the lives of Haitians." more

text: So I see a story on Yahoo Sports by Gordon Edes in which he contrasts this year's underachievers with players who have overachieved, position by position. I just know I'm going to be reading about our beloved Kendry when first base is discussed, but lo and behold, Edes lets us know how incredibly Billy Butler has performed this year in Kansas City. His reasoning: 45 doubles. That's right. Butler has hit 13 fewer home runs, driven in 21 runs less, has a lower OPS and slugging percentage in 30 more AB's than Morales, but apparently his five extra doubles puts him over the top. He then goes on to tell us what a great accomplishment hitting 45 doubles is at the age of 23, but then immediately lists SEVEN CURRENT players who have achieved the same feat(?)- two of which had done it TWICE! And we all know how important those 45 doubles have been to the Royals this year.

This time the article features Tyrus Thomas."He was OK," Boylan said of Thomas' foul-plagued outing on Saturday. "He has to maintain a high energy level and play to his strength. I've been saying all year, 'Be around the basket. Make things happen at the rim.' Then he's effective. That's what I would like to see him do."
Yes Tyrus, I'll put you in at the 3, so you can be nowhere near the rim and I can have an excuse to pull you immediately!
Granted, this really hasn't happened that often lately but that's because he hasn't seen the floor much lately. Still, to say he's "been saying [that] all year" is such bullshit, when he was putting him in a position to fail.
Another gem from Boylan regarding the difference between Noc and Thomas and playing through their mistakes:"The body of work is the key factor in the difference between those guys," Boylan said.
Oh yes, the body of work! Let's compare a 4th year player who is the coaches' pet, to a lottery pick in his 2nd year who has struggled to gain the trust of his coaches and doesn't get the burn of a 2nd rounder. Seriously, doesn't being a lottery pick earn him the right to be able to play through his mistakes at least sometimes? Catch-22 - he can't exactly build a "body of work" if you never let him see the floor.
I feel like I had more to say, but this combined with the main diary's point of Boylan not changing the rotation, just makes me sick. I wish I could stop watching this season but I still find myself watching every game.

A Clockwork Orange is a 1962 novel by Anthony Burgess. It tells the dystopian story of a teenage boy Alex, his violent and unlawful lifestyle, the effort of the state to reform him and henceforth the consequences. The title is taken from an old Cockney expression, "as queer as a clockwork orange", and alludes to the prevention of the main character's exercise of his free will by the positively conditioned responses to evil feelings. Written from the perspective of a seemingly biased and unapologetic protagonist, the novel also contains an experiment in language: Burgess creates a new speech that is the teenage slang of the not-too-distant future.

8836 8.1 8.823. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the... (2001)
The Lord of the Rings is an epic high fantasy novel written by philologist J.R.R Tolkien. The story began as a sequel to Tolkien's earlier, less complex children's fantasy novel The Hobbit (1937), but eventually developed into a much larger work. Although intended as a single-volume work, it was originally published in three volumes in 1954 and 1955, due to post-war paper shortages, and it is in this three-volume form that it is popularly known. It has since been reprinted numerous times and translated into many different languages,[2] becoming one of the most popular and influential works in 20th-century literature.

|The Importance of Living a Healthy Lifestyle

Why is living a healthy lifestyle important? Better lifestyle habits will reduce your risk of heart attack, you will feel better, have more energy and reduce your risk of illness. Living healthy also elevates your mood, helping you to feel happy and have more self confidence, which results in a better quality of life. Take an active approach to living healthy and improve you health.
Living a healthy lifestyle is very important due to the increase of obesity in the United States. If you are not doing everything you can to improve your overall health you are jeopardizing the quality of your life. Today you can gain knowledge on the best foods for you, the best exercise routines for you and further information you need to help on your way to a healthier lifestyle. Today you will learn the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.
Healthier living is becoming more important for people all over the world. Currently, more than 66% of US adults are either overweight or obese. The greatest increase is in the body mass index. Roughly 59 million American adults are in this group, which is the greatest health risk.
Living a healthy lifestyle is very important in older people and is positively related to a reduced risk and a delay in the deterioration in their health. It slows down the aging process and helps the older generation stay strong and healthy. Living a healthier lifestyle also slows down the disease development and contributes to a longer life.
The importance of a healthy lifestyle in children has grown tremendously. Obesity in children is increasing in all countries. Because of this factor it is more important than ever that we educate our children on the importance of a healthier living. They need to learn to eat healthy foods and they need to be put on a daily or 3 times weekly exercise schedule. Let your children know the health risks involved in being overweight. If we teach our children the pros of living a healthier lifestyle they will carry this knowledge throughout their lives and become more productive and happier adults.
Health issues associated with overweight children are diabetes and heart disease. These are the two most common side effects of childhood obesity. Any problems your child may have with obesity could and probably will be carried over to their adult life. Therefore, teaching them the importance of a healthy lifestyle at a young age is of utmost importance.
The importance of a healthy lifestyle in the prevention of disease is widely understood and most people know that lifestyle changes and choices can be critical in determining their health and lifespan. Yet less than 5% of the population in the United States practices a healthy lifestyle.
Living your life in a healthier manner will help create a strong body, strong mind and higher self-esteem: You need to drink lots of water, have regular physical activity, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and protein. DO NOT smoke, drink or put any chemicals in your body that would cause your body harm.
Nutrition is a key factor in the living of a healthy lifestyle. You need to look at what you eat now, lower your calories, make healthier choices and get educated.
Another factor in the importance of living a healthy lifestyle is exercise. Muscle burns fat and therefore we must feed the muscle through good nutrition and build the muscle through healthy exercising. Protein stops muscle loss. It not only helps build your muscles when you are exercising it helps you keep your muscle in the times when you are unable to exercise. On your road to living healthier you could include protein bars and protein shakes as well as other sources of protein.
What do I mean about healthy exercising? Well, some people tend to go overboard and lose track of the word healthy. They want to be thin fast and they get so obsessed they never see themselves as thin so they over exercise and actually cause injuries to their bodies. Exercise at a pace your body can handle and slowly work up. The slower the weight comes off the more likely you will be to keep the weight off. I cannot stress enough the importance of living a health lifestyle, educating yourself and treating your body with the respect it deserves.
You can do all of that right here. We have everything you need to learn about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. You will find articles, recipes, exercise information, and various other things to help you take steps to learning the importance of and start living a healthier lifestyle today!

Tulsa's mayoral candidates discussed their visions for the City of Tulsa in a live debate on 6 in the Morning Tuesday, November 5.
"This is a very exciting time for Tulsa voters," anchor Rich Lenz began the debate. "One week from this morning, they're going to head to the polls to elect a mayor."
Questions came from News On 6 viewers, Facebook fans and man-on-the-street interviews.
Kathy Taylor
Former Mayor Kathy Taylor went first by virtue of a coin flip.
In response to the first question, Taylor she would not have laid off police and fire personnel as was done in Mayor Bartlett's term.
Watch the videos above for more from candidate Kathy Taylor.
"We know in a down economy crime always goes up, and we know that you can't attract jobs if people view your community - even tourism, if you have an unsafe city," she said.
She also answered questions about the mayoral role in public education and her plans for helping North Tulsa become a vibrant community again.
Dewey Bartlett Jr.
Mayor Dewey Bartlett sat down with anchor LeAnne Taylor and responded to Taylor's comments about police layoffs. He noted that faced with a $10 million budget shortfall he determined that all city employees should be treated equally, including police.
"If somebody would have been shown favoritism, then everyone else would have even had a worse situation," he said.
"The good news is, we hired all of them back except for one."
Watch the videos above for more from candidate Dewey Bartlett Jr.
Bartlett also answered questions about specific plans to make Tulsa safer, financial transparency and his biggest regret as mayor.
Finally, both candidates fielded questions from anchors LeAnne Taylor and Rich Lenz.
Incumbent Mayor Dewey Bartlett Jr. will face off with former mayor Kathy Taylor on Tuesday, November 12. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
News On 6 will host another mayoral debate Monday, November 11 on News On 6 at 9 p.m. on the Tulsa CW.

5 Stocks Setting Up to Break Out
WINDERMERE, Fla. (Stockpickr) -- Despite the selloff in stocks on Thursday, all three major U.S. averages have either started to break out or are within range of breaking out.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average broke out recently above some stiff overhead resistance at around 12,391. We hit 12,450 on Thursday but pulled back to close at 12,409. That's still above the breakout price of 12,391. What market players should watch for now is a weekly close on the Dow that's firmly above 12,391. That would be bullish for many of the industrial stocks that litter the Dow.
On the S&P 500, we recently traded above some past overhead resistance at 1332, which is bullish, but we still need to trade above 1344, which is the major breakout level that everyone is watching. If the S&P 500 takes out 1344, then the next level that will come into focus is 1400. I would like to point out that it's constructive to see that the S&P 500 did close at 1333 on Thursday. If we get the breakout on the S&P, then many market-leading stocks are going to trend higher.
Technology stocks remain the laggards right now in the market. The Nasdaq did manage to move above some near-term resistance at 2802, but it has still failed to even get close to breaking out above 2840. Plus, the Nasdaq closed at 2796 yesterday, which is below its near-term breakout level of 2802. This doesn't mean that the Nasdaq won't join the party if the other two indices break out soon, but it does mean there's some relative weakness in technology stocks.Related: 9 Semi Stock Takeover Targets With Upside It's very crucial that market players watch how all three major indices behave in the next couple of days and weeks. If U.S. stocks are going to start another trend higher, then we're going to need to break out with positive price action. It would help if strong volume accompanies any future breakout in U.S. stocks. If we do trade to new highs, then we're going to see tons of stocks follow the averages and breakout themselves. Trading breakouts is not a new game on Wall Street. This strategy has been by legendary traders such as William O'Neal, Stan Weinstein and Nicolas Darvas. Following in their footsteps, here's a look at a number of stocks that look poised to break out and trade significantly higher from current levels.

The Securities & Exchange Board of India (Sebi) recently allowed listing of two hybrid instruments, that is, those that have features of both equity and debt, on exchanges. Trading in non-convertible redeemable preference shares and privately-placed redeemable preference shares, experts say, will give people one more liquid investment option.
"This will bring transparency in raising of funds through non-convertible preference shares and create a market for these securities," says Subir Saha, executive vice president, ICICI Securities.
Preference shares are securities issued by a company that do not carry voting rights like ordinary shares. However, they entitle their holders to a fixed dividend and have a set tenure, after which the company redeems the principal. Holders of preference shares get priority over those who own ordinary shares if the company is wound up. Preference shares can be convertible (into ordinary shares) as well as non-convertible.
Sebi has recently allowed listing of non-convertible redeemable preference shares, that is, those that are not convertible into equity shares and are redeemed at maturity. Listing will give investors the option of exiting early rather than waiting for the instrument to mature.
"Preference shares are not popular due to lack of liquidity. Once they start trading, there will be more buyers," says Raghvendra Nath, managing director of Ladderup Wealth Management.
Sebi has mandated a rating of AA- and above and three-year tenure for listing. Due to the risk involved, the minimum investment for preference shares is Rs 10 lakh.
"As the minimum size is Rs 10 lakh, these shares are for high net worth individuals, or HNIs, and ultra HNIs," says Ashish Shanker, head of investment advisory at Motilal Oswal Private Wealth Management.
Preference shares do not carry voting rights in most situations. Companies, too, may pay dividend only when they earn a profit. In the cumulative option, if the company does not pay dividend in one year, the holder has the right to the payment the next year.
Preference shares are quasi-debt instruments. "Preference shares combine features of equity and debt. They carry equity risk as the principal is not secured. Also, they entitle holders to a dividend similar to fixed deposit interest and have a set tenure," says Shanker of Motilal Oswal Private Wealth.
Preference shares are offered as part of share capital. The company pays fixed dividend to their holders. In this, they are unlike ordinary shares, where dividend is not fixed. But the biggest plus is that dividend income is tax-free in the hands of investors, though companies pay dividend distribution tax.
As the minimum investment in preference shares is Rs 10 lakh, investors usually compare them with non-convertible debentures, or NCDs, which also pay a fixed rate, besides protecting the principal (unlike preference shares), as well as tax-free bonds, which are long-term but protect both principal and interest. "In the worstcase scenario of liquidation, holders of preference shares are put below NCD holders in terms of claim on assets," says Saha of ICICI Securities.
Hence, dividend on preference shares is higher than what one earns from NCDs and tax-free bonds. But a lot will depend on the rating of preference shares. So, while investing in preference shares, one should look for tax arbitrage along with the risk. Interest income from NCDs is taxed while dividend income from preference shares is not. On the other side, interest from tax-free bonds is not taxed.
Tax-free bonds' tenure usually exceeds 10 years. They are also illiquid. On the other hand, while listing will make preference shares more liquid, they also have the advantage of being redeemed by the issuing company. Also, holders of preference shares are in some cases given preferential allotment during issue of shares.

India has signed Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement with many countries. The aim is to avoid
double taxation of same income. The treaty can be bilateral, that is,
apply to only the two countries in question, or multilateral. These treaties benefit institutions and individuals who earn in countries other than their country of residence.

India. He says there is a need to diversify across asset classes and not confine investments to domestic markets.

J. Money and Nate St. Pierre have a knack of building businesses together. And now, they're utilizing their skills to help others with their own ventures.
After I met J. Money, known largely for his finance blog, Budgets Are Sexy, at BlogHer last year, I asked if I could write a post his and Nate's philanthropic efforts via Love Drop. When I published the piece, J$ warmly responded with, "Oh wow, you got it right! Most people mess up the details! And hey, you can write!"
With that glowing endorsement, how could I not want to write about this duo again?
Although they've closed Love Drop, its impact to both the families they helped and the community at large is still growing. Similar groups have sprung up in other areas, inspired by the work that microgiving can do.
As for Jay and Nate, they are helping others in a new way: Providing their expertise as consultants.
But let's go back – How did these two pair up in the first place? The two were introduced through a friend, and met when they spent a day meeting at on the west coast at Google.
Hitting it off immediately, they found their strengths complemented each other. Nate was good at philanthropy and organizing people. Jay's strength was finances, and wanted to become more involved in philanthropic efforts. Nate focuses on the big picture, whereas Jay likes to see the detailed steps and ensures execution.
It was during their conversations that very first day that they came up with Love Drop. In fact, their second time together in person was at the the initial "drop." Think about that for a moment: The first day they met, they came up with the idea for an organization that raised over $90,000 to help 12 families in 12 cities, mobilizing people across the country.
Living in different parts of the U.S. while building a business had its challenges, but they worked through them with a lot of time on the phone, Skype and spending 3-4 days each month together in random cities for Love Drop.
Their year of business together and the myriad of other successes in the online space are what make them effective consultants to those need help shaping ideas, building business plans or expand one's audience for an existing business.
Packages vary from one focused call, including prep work and follow-up connecting you with resources, to ongoing business structure and organization work. The client steers the focus and goals of the meetings. Their feedback is candid – Jay laughs that Nate often gets to be "bad cop," while Jay is more known for his smiley emoticons everywhere.
Who is the best fit?
- Younger and intermediate bloggers
- Small web business owners
- Established bloggers looking to build their community or a business-based platform
Their clients have included a range from those who have only been online for a few weeks, all the way to established sites such as Groupon.
Whether you are determining the viability of a project or need help implementing your plan, their site is worth checking out!
And of course, these two never sit still. Amongst others, here are a couple of other places you can find Nate and Jay:
NateStPierre.com: Nate's home site and project hub
Budgets Are Sexy: Jay's primary site, providing financial sense to the masses
The Mix-Up: Nate's newest project, he describes it as: "A cool place on the web like no other. It gathers groups like bloggers, YouTubers, designers and photographers to mix up their audience. There are competitions, collaborations, features and a chance to be silly. You can meet new people, establish connections, and get a good spike in traffic at the same time." To really understand what it's all about, you'll have to go look around.
Serve First: Spun off from Love Drop, Serve First works with conferences around the country to organize volunteer events for conference attendees. You provide the conference, they'll get your philanthropic efforts in order.
Note: I did not receive any compensation or services for writing this post, except perhaps a few ":)" from J$.

Chopin Liszt Ravel is the debut album from Benjamin Grosvenor, who made his name as an 11 year old prodigy when he performed at the BBC Young Musician Final, (narrowly missing out to winner, violinist Nicola Benedetti).
This album is licensed for download from Decca where you can buy the CD.
This phenomenally successful debut recording has been named 'Editor's Choice' in Gramophone Magazine, 'Instrumental Choice' in BBC Music Magazine and is shortlisted for a BBC Music Awards 2012.

'It's an immensely confident set, comparable to Evgeny Kissin's early performances - the most impressive aspect being not his obvious command of technique, but an intellectual and emotional understanding of the music way beyond his tender years.' The Independent
'This recital disc shows his ability to twin youthful exuberance with impeccable technique and magisterial musical intelligence...Grosvenor's balance of oratory and ornament, gesture and poetry - evident, too, in Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit - are moving as well as impressive. He's a phenomenon: modest, poised and natural, as well as brimming with talent.' The Observer
'The first thing you notice is the limpid surface of Grosvenor's playing, the warm tonal gleam that he conjures up from the keys. It is a beautiful sound, and beneath it there are seams of passion, discretion and emotional affinity with the music...there is little to quibble with in this recital, which shows intelligence coupled with a command of keyboard colour and musical characterisation that are remarkable.' The Telegraph
'Have you ever heard a more aqueous evocation of Ravel's water nymph? Grosvenor's Steinway instrument seems permanently underwater, swimming through the softest of rippling textures...Grosvenor, you can tell, is a Romantic pianist, almost from another age. He doesn't deconstruct, or stand at a distance. He jumps inside the music's soul.' The Times

Landing Roddy Peters is no consolation prize for Maryland - baltimoresun.com
A good piece on Roddy Peters commitment that focuses a lot on what many of us are thinking. Better long-term chemistry than the twins, beating out Kansas and Georgetown for a local kid, and the list goes on.
Diggs shouts out Maryland basketball, says he'll be at games
Such a great Terp.
Roddy's coach: Maryland was his "dream school"
Apparently once Kansas took Wayne Selden they were out of the picture, which is probably why he made the call to announce directly afterward. It's an interesting read.
Terps' Darin Drakeford, Stefon Diggs earn weekly ACC honors
Drakeford got the linebacker of the week, deservedly, and Diggs got specialist. Shockingly, he wasn't the freshman of the week, but I guess they need to shake that one up every once in awhile.
Stefon Diggs: 247Sports National Freshman of the Week
I mean, okay, it's not a real award. Point is, he's starting to get the national publicity he deserves. -BB

Manisha Koirala marriage endsBy Eye TV India Bureau
In the News
The two-year-long marriage of actress Manisha Koirala has reportedly ended. In fact, reports of her disturbed relationship with her businessman husband Samrat Dalal has been there in the media for quite some time. And, she had been posting her unhappy state of mind on social networking. However, the final decision to break the relationship seems to have been taken only recently. Sources close to her, however, say that just a few months after tying the knot with Samrat, Manisha had confided to her close friends about her unhappy marriage. But, she had also made peace with her husband and returned to Nepal in the meantime. The differences between husband and wife only deepened with time. That's why Manisha soon returned to India. In January 2012, she even joined the Oneness University near Chennai to gather strength to make her marriage work.
Alas, even spirituality couldn't offer her a solution, and hence the final split. Industry circles wonder if the Himalayan beauty will return to films or not. She seems to have been physically and mentally upset as evident from her recent photos. In case, she decides to come back to films, she will have to prepare herself afresh as the glam world has now become more competitive.

Clientele banks on self-service strength
Web services extensibility perks up Epicor CRM suite, but lack of workflow automation shows room for growth
Epicor's recently released Clientele CRM.Net Suite 8.2 has a lofty goal: provide a backbone of customer support with sales-force automation tools that reduce costs and improve the art of the deal.
Clientele's standout features include its customer self-service Web portal and its Web services underpinnings — built on Microsoft .Net — that minimize the integration impact with service-oriented architectures. I was disappointed, however, that several key features, by today's standards, were missing from the suite, such as a well-integrated workflow automation, internationalization, and multicurrency support. But Clientele offers only limited deployment options. In addition, Epicor was unable to provide full access to the new Version 3.0 of its outbound e-mail marketing tools, a stand-alone application that integrates with the suite to provide proactive marketing opportunities.
The suite nevertheless offers good record-keeping capabilities and customization; small and midtier companies looking to shore up customer-support transactions and eventually to take advantage of Web services in their CRM practices should give it a thorough consideration.
Up and at 'Em
Epicor does not offer a hosted version of Clientele but made one available for testing. This let me avoid much of the complexity and lag time that could plague a typical installation, such as integrating with existing systems and setting up and seeding the database.
In both hosted and nonhosted setups, Clientele relies on a fat client interface to communicate with the hosting server, using SOAP to push and pull XML data and to update the interface and database. Although the fat-client approach typically helps to streamline client/server interaction, the text-heavy XML payload likely caused the somewhat sluggish performance I saw.
To start, I simply downloaded a 1MB client setup file. When I conncted the client, a new download pushed another 30MB of module-specific data to my setup. I was nonetheless soon up and running.
Customer-support functionality, the strongest feature in Clientele's aresenal, provides superb call management and case resolution, including easy access to customer and company records, product lookup, and the capability for agents to search the AnswerBook, Clientele's knowledge repository.
Although it lacks the direct TAPI (telephony API) phone integration of competitors such as ACCPAC, I was able to log e-mails and phone notes, build profiles, and attach relevant support materials to create a meaningful customer history.
Managers will appreciate the ease of administering support queues. I could get high-level overviews of active workloads, drill down to a specific staffer's queue, and easily reassign work to others or put it back into the queue to prevent bottlenecks. Automation tools catch issues that sit dormant too long, escalating the priority level of a call, reassigning a call, or triggering an e-mail alert.
I also liked Clientele's built-in timer for tracking billable hours. Its strong features for monitoring service agreements not only ensure compliance, but also drive revenue through lapsed contract renewal.
Helping Yourself
On the self-service front, Clientele keeps you fairly well covered with a customer-facing Web portal for customers to initiate support calls, review service agreements and RMA (return material authorization) status, and search for answers to FAQs.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas coach Mike Anderson says junior Alandise Harris and sophomore Michael Qualls have been reinstated from their one-game suspensions and will play against Alabama.
Neither Harris nor Qualls, who have combined to average nearly 21 points per game this season, traveled with Arkansas to LSU over the weekend after being suspended for conduct detrimental to the team. The Razorbacks (13-8, 2-6 Southeastern Conference) lost 88-74 to the Tigers, their fourth loss in five games.
Anderson says Harris and Qualls will return to practice and their play won't be limited against the Crimson Tide (9-12, 3-5) on Wednesday night.
Qualls is third in scoring for Arkansas with an average of 11.7 points per game, while Harris averages 9.1 points.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 6–3–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
'We'll welcome him'
Bomber locker-room awaits the coming of Pacman with open arms
Word about the potential signing of Pacman Jones was one of the key topics of discussion in Bomberland on Tuesday and most players insisted that second chances were part of life in a locker-room.Jones, should he sign with the Blue Bombers, will only be the next in a long line of players who have run afoul of the law and most Bombers we talked to were more concerned with his ability to help the team than anything else.
"ö Terrence Edwards, WR -- "He's from Georgia, same as me. From what I've seen, he's a pretty good player. I don't know much about him, only what I read in the papers. If he's here, we'll welcome him. But I don't know that yet. But we'll give anybody a second chance."
"ö Lenny Walls, DB -- "Why do you have to hit me with that question? He's a helluva football player. That's all I know. He's somebody that can help. He's going to be a member of Swaggerville. You know that. Swaggerville is the secondary and anybody who possesses the swag to make plays back there. And he's got that."
"ö Obby Khan, OL -- "As a player, he's a phenomenal player. I don't follow the NFL too much, but from what I've seen, he's fast and agile. He's a little ball of hate. If any player can make us better, we'll take him. The coaching staff and management won't bring in any player that is going to make us worse, whether it be on the field or in the locker-room. If he can make this team better, we'll take him. We're men and we govern ourselves in the locker-room. If it gets to the coaches, it's gone too far. In this locker-room, we've done a great job with this group."
"ö Glen January, OL -- "He's an explosive player and pretty good at what he does. Any player that can come in and make us better, we welcome him with open arms. Generally speaking, we police ourselves and it comes down to us to make sure the locker-room is a good place."
"ö Brock Ralph, WR -- "At this point, it's just a rumour to us. We know as much as the guy on the street. Whoever comes our way we're prepared to welcome as part of the team. There was some discussion here, but most of it is from the outside in -- people wondering what this means and if it's true. Most of us don't have any specifics and we don't want to let it become a distraction. If there's a new face in the next couple of days, we'll welcome him."
"ö Shawn Gallant, LB -- "We're getting mixed reports. We're hearing from the media that he's coming and from everywhere else that he's not. It happens all the time. Players get cut from the NFL all the time and you never know if they'll show up or if they'll pan out if they do come. I've learned to just let it happen. It's a big name if it's the case, and if he's ready to play, he can help a team... I've never been out there covering a punt and worrying about another player. Unless he comes to my house banging pots and pans at three in the morning, he won't be a distraction to me."
"ö Doug Brown, DT -- "I don't deal in generalities or alleged rumours. I wanted to wait to comment until his contract is registered with the CFL and it becomes official. That's what I thought when I saw these rumours that Adam "Pacman" Jones could potentially be coming to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers... There's a fine line between what a player's talent can do to benefit a team and whether or not his baggage is detrimental. It's a case-by-case situation and I'm sure the people responsible for player additions and subtractions take this into account."

Hammerheads finish 2-1 over Battery and finish out Regular Season Undefeated at Legion Stadium
- Details
- Published on Monday, 20 August 2012 10:32
- Written by Super User
Gareth Evans and Corey Hertzog combine for back-to-back goals in the first half of Saturday's match at Legion Stadium to propel the Hammerheads past the Battery in their weekend double header with Charleston. Wilmington's 2-1 victory extends the Hammerhead's unbeaten streak to eleven consecutive games on their home field. The Hammerheads traveled to Blackbaud Stadium on Friday to take on the Battery, concluding in a 2-2 draw. Both teams then traveled to Wilmington to face one another in a rematch at Legion Stadium on Saturday. The Hammerheads and Battery faced off back in mid-July in Charleston that led the Battery to a 3-1 win over the Hammerheads.
The Hammerheads spotted the Battery a goal 17 minutes into the first half when Charlie Romero converted on a cross to slip the ball past Hammerheads goalkeeper Alex Horwath to the back of the net. Horwath attempted to knock the ball away and was just short of reaching the shot, giving Charleston the lead to start the night. However, Charleston's early lead didn't last long as the Hammerheads broke through on the score sheet in the 34thminute. Defender Gareth Evans used his height to place a header just above the hands of Charleston goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra. Evan's conversion off Corey Hertzog's throw-in gave him his first goal of the season and put the Hammerheads right back in the game. The Hammerheads had numerous opportunities throughout the night putting much pressure on the Battery defense. Corey Hertzog's goal in the 45th minute would become the deciding factor in the night's outcome, pushing the Hammerheads just past Charleston. Midfielder Paul Nicholson's cross found a racing Hertzog on the backside of the goal who is easily able to pound the ball to the back of the net. Hertzog's goal would be his 8th of the season, pairing him with fellow Hammerheads player Andriy Budnyy for the most goals on the team this season thus far. Wilmington will have a two week break to rest before facing the Charlotte Eagles on Saturday, August 18th to finish off the season as the final push for the playoffs is underway. The date for the makeup match versus Charlotte is still undecided due to the last time Wilmington traveled to Charlotte and they postponed the game due to field malfunction. For more information, visit www.wilmingtonhammerheads.com
Hammerheads, Eagles Postponed Match Officially Rescheduled - The July 21, 2012 match between the Wilmington Hammerheads and the Charlotte Eagles at Charlotte Christian Stadium that was postponed for a later date due to unsuitable field conditions has officially been rescheduled. After weeks of deliberation, the game has been scheduled to take place on Friday, August 17 at Wingate University with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m. at the Wingate University Soccer Complex.
The original match-up between the two teams in July was called off just prior to kickoff after an examination of the field proved unplayable. Days before, a large rainstorm hit the Charlotte area causing damage throughout the community and at the stadium.
This will be the final away game for the Wilmington Hammerheads during the 2012 regular season. The Hammerheads' last home game at Legion Stadium is scheduled for the following day, Saturday, August 18, versus the Charlotte Eagles in a back-to-back doubleheader. A final match win at Legion will result in the Hammerheads being undefeated for the entire 2012 season on their home turf. With only two games left, the Hammerheads are currently tied for third in the USL PRO rankings with the Charleston Battery amid Richmond, Harrisburg, and Charlotte trailing behind just within reach hoping to make a spot in the playoffs.

text: Okay, please tell me this is just a really bad rumor!! So far this morning FaceBook has been filled with posts about Max being traded, Max being gone before the trade deadline, Max making more commercials than scoring on the ice, etc... The Penguins can't really be considering trading Talbot can they? Yes, this season he's been off his game and fighting injuries. But when he's been on the ice the PENS have played better. And when the team needs someone to step up, TALBOT has been there, weather it was the fight in Philly, the last second goals out of nowhere, or the ONLY 2 goals in game 7 for the Stanley Cup win.

Every now and then, I'll interview someone who credits part of their musical inspiration to synesthesia -- a phenomenon where one kind of sensory input triggers another. A common example is the perception of colors or textures in relation to music. I'm fortunate to have this trait myself, along with a few other odd little synesthesia-related quirks; I subconsciously associate odd numbers and angular shapes with warm colors, and even numbers and smooth shapes with cool colors, for instance.

This is from today's UFC 119 pre-fight press conference. I encourage you to watch the entire thing. Here's the gist of what's argued: there's nothing more the UFC can do. Make of that what you will. Clearly, though, the idea that the commission tests are falling short of a) catching all PED users and b) deterring further use is something White's not prepared to address at this point.
The other issue to underscore here is how White identifies the commission as the ultimate overseer. On a very real level, he's not exaggerating. Not only are commissions often drunk on their own power, the truth is the arrangement is mostly as White describes. At times some lose sight of the power hierarchy because of the UFC's familiarity with commission members or because of the perceived ease with which they are able to conduct operations. He is, however, legally at their mercy.
On the other hand, White's response doesn't directly address the central issue: why can't the UFC do more than or supplement the athletic commissions? I can't speak for White (although he attempts a response to that question at 7:52 here), but I assume he'd circle back to the idea that any further punishment exacted by the UFC in the event of a positive test would simply be abusive. The UFC (mostly) plays the good cop role, so why take bad cop from the commission? He also clearly states in the linked video from AOL that all the testing measures in the world won't stop athletes from taking these kinds of risks. White sees his and the UFC's only meaningful role as educator about potential risks. The problem is those responses don't cover the territory of a fighter testing positive through a UFC-backed WADA-style testing, but passing the commission urinalysis. When White asks "what more can I do?" he is talking about adding on to the commission's punishment. But what if the fighter passes a commission urinalysis and fails a WADA blood test the UFC paid for? Then what would the punishment be? And there are people who still think this wouldn't make the commission look bad?
You can make from this what you will. My sense is that Sonnen's popping positive has flirted with disaster, but is not big enough to truly force White's hand. Jim Rome is big media, but he's also something of a MMA mark. It will take something with substantially more fallout before changes are made. Champions have tested positive before, but not wealthy, elite fighters. The day a UFC figurehead pops is the day we may see more proactive measures, either from the UFC or the commissions or both. Until then, the policies as they exist remain intact. Steady as she goes.
More Dana White commentary on this issue after the jump.

An Ouch! on Rep. Kent Williams
A good source has told me Williams has traded places with that guy back in the corner. Was that snarky of me?
No, what's snarky is that someone would equate a political move with Judas' betrayal of Jesus. They're so far apart on the scale of ethical or moral dilemmas....

I never in a million years did I think I could run. I'm comfortably running 2 miles 3x a week, and a friend has persuaded me to train for a 1/2 marathon end of Sept. In November 2013 I couldn't run for a minute!
It's such a great stress relief - I finish my run ready to take on the world. I run with a smile too.
My body is changing too - in 4 months, and with careful eating, I'm down 22lbs!! Yay.
Just wanted to share

Divorcing - at last!
Go you!
