Western Australia 5 for 224 in 47.1 overs (Martyn 110) beat Victoria 222 all out in 47.3 overs (Moss 70, Crosthwaite 52) by 5 wickets
Damien Martyn stroked a wonderful 110 to take Western Australia to a five-wicket victory after some early hiccups against Victoria in their ING Cup match at Perth and then took the opportunity to attack the media for its "unfair" treatment of Australian players. WA finished on 5 for 224 after bowling out Victoria for 222 in just 47.3 overs.
Martyn was dropped from the Australian side after averaging just 19.77 with the bat during the Ashes series and came in for some strong criticism in the press. Martyn insists he hasn't made any changes to his batting since arriving back in Australia: "It's the same as England. No different. Better bowlers in England. When I got 1200 runs in a season people asked what was different, but I was batting exactly the same way. It's just cricket. I had a run out and two bad decisions in the Ashes, so anything could've happened. Guys don't bat differently. The game's not easy."
Martyn said he was still available if the selectors changed his mind, but when asked if Simon Katich's poor form for Australia would open the door for his return, Martyn launched an attack on the media: "I feel sorry for [Katich], I've been there. I feel sorry for what the media do to those players. It's unfair in a way. It's a tough job what they do. They've been fantastic for four or five years doing what they do, so you should give them a break and let them play cricket."
All Western Australia needed were a couple of good partnerships but they got off to a disastrous start after Gerard Denton dismissed Adam Gilchrist in the first over and bowled Justin Langer in the sixth (3 for 27). Damien Martyn then put on 76 runs with Mike Hussey (35) and 112 runs with Adam Voges (48 not out) as Western Australia recovered superbly to shut Victoria out of the game.
Victoria couldn't get a decent partnership going, after Cameron White chose to bat, as they lost regular wickets at one end while Jonathan Moss hit a fluent 70 at the other. Moss smacked ten fours and a six during his 84-ball innings but was beaten by a change of pace from Peter Worthington and hit a full toss straight to Mike Hussey at cover. Adam Crosthwaite hit a plucky 52 and built handy partnerships with Graeme Rummans and Gerard Denton to take Victoria past 200 before Brad Williams, who finished with an impressive 3 for 36, mopped up the tail.

Tuscon (AZ) Salpointe linebacker Taylor Powell plans to make his commitment this Friday and he has narrowed his choices down to two schools. The three-star linebacker took unofficial visits to three schools this summer: Colorado State, Nevada, and Fresno State. Powell liked all three schools, but he will make his decision between two schools this week.
"I've been talking to the Nevada coaches and Colorado State coaches a lot and those are going to be the two teams I'm going to choose from," Powell said.
Powell believes he has come to a conclusion on which school he will pick, but will talk it over with his family before making it public.
"Just talking to my family and see what they think," Powell said. "They're going to help me make the best decision for me and where they think I fit in the best... "I think I know who I'm going to choose right now. I'm pretty sure I'm solid who I have in my mind right now."
Powell visited both Nevada and Colorado State in one weekend and the two schools were able to make the biggest impression on him. The coaching staffs at both schools kept in contact with the Arizona linebacker and maintained a good relationship with him.
"At Nevada, all the coaching staff is great," Powell said. "I talk to coach Rolovich, he's the Arizona recruiter. He just often checks up on me to see how I'm doing. Coach Boone, he's the linebackers coach. I talk to him a little bit also. I recently talked to coach Polian last night on twitter. He just told me that they would love to have me there and he thinks I would be a great fit for the Pack."
The appeal of a new on-campus stadium and the relationship with the coaching staff at Colorado State had drawn Powell to the Rams as well.
"Colorado State, I just really like that they're building a new on-campus stadium," Powell said. "Really the linebackers coach I talked to, I liked him a lot - a really solid connection with him."
Now that Powell will decide between Colorado State and Nevada, that means that his other top school, Fresno State, is out of the running.
"I liked Fresno a lot, the coaches were real good and everything," Powell said. "I just really didn't think it was the place for me."
Powell will make his decision Friday at 12:30 p.m. PT. Stay tuned for the latest from Powell and his decision.

Thoughts of Thanks...
It's been a year of trials and triumphs, changes and challenges.
Not just for me personally, but collectively as a nation.
The Ebola crisis. Political upheaval. The deaths of entertainment icons like Robin Williams and Joan Rivers.
The increasingly high cost of living.
We've witnessed extremes in everything from the weather to gas prices at the pump.
When we take time to assess and reflect, there is so much for which we can still be thankful.
Everyday. Not just one day of the year.
With this in mind, I'd like to thank you readers--for your support, your time, your interest, your feedback, and your loyal follow.
I'm thankful to those of you who have honored my Blog with awards, Tweets, interviews and guest posts.
I'm thankful for work that gives me joy, and helps others to advance their careers, improve their quality of life, and avoid some of the mistakes I've made.
Grateful that we can laugh and learn together.
I'm thankful for family, good food, and good friends...health and shelter.
And I'm thankful for my upcoming, much-needed break!
Jen will be taking a hiatus for the holiday. I'll need some time to recover from the turkey, rich desserts, side dishes, and decadent chocolate.
So, let's get together again-- on or around December 1st.
Until then...wishing you and yours a holiday filled with abundant blessings, and memories as rich as grandma's gravy!

Girls Just Wanna' Have Funds! The Value of Bartering for Your Freelance Business
"A penny saved is a penny earned."
Seems the more I work, the less I can afford to comfortably pay for this year. No doubt, as a freelancer, you're trying to come to terms with this conundrum as well.
In fact, recently when my Internet bill arrived, to my dismay I discovered that my monthly charges had almost doubled. Even though I had not acquired any additional services or requested any enhancements to my account.
Perplexed, I called my phone provider to get the "4-1-1" and choose a cheaper package to potentially save money. I was informed that I was already receiving their cheapest package! Hello?!
To make a long story short, the representative went on to explain that this "inflated" bill was because the cost of doing business is simply higher now due to fuel, delivery charges, taxes, regulations; you know the spiel.
But unfortunately, as my mom often says, "It is what it is."
While I can't do much about the steadily increasing cost of living and operating a business, I have found a way to use my "creativity" to reduce my out of pocket expenses, without reducing my quality of life. And you can too.
Want to know my secret?
In a word: bartering.
And here's the good news: without realizing it, you've likely had plenty of practice over the years.
Remember back in grade school when you'd "negotiate" your apple for your best friend's pudding cup? Or baseball cards for popular action figures?
Well, bartering's value has not diminished over time.
Though this form of doing business is as ancient as cavemen, far too few entrepreneurs use it today to enhance their operations and build their client base.
Don't be one of them.
In a tough economy where people are "cash crunched," bartering just makes good business sense. Trading services provides a win/win situation for all parties, while building important relationships and future collaborations.
And I should know. Over the last few years, bartering my creative services has saved me a bunch of cash, while providing the following perks and goodies:
Free tickets to events (like a live jazz concert with food)
New kitchen chairs from a local antique shop
Catering for parties
Tree trimming services
Plumbing work
And more…
Other "enlightened" entrepreneurs are getting on board too…One Chicago restaurant owner has even accepted bartering arrangements to score "hot deals" like vacation packages, new floors, and even dental services.
Bartering can "pay" big for you too! Here are a few practices and principles to observe to get the best from bartering:
Make sure to get everything in writing.
This includes any deliverables, deadlines, and "deal breakers."
Ideally, the exchange should happen at the same time.
I once got burned because I provided services for a guy who later changed his mind about his end of the bargain, and there was no way to "un-do" or "refund" my half.
Be certain that both parties agree that the services and/or goods are of equal value.
Bartering arrangements that work well include:
- Exchanging photographic or design services for writing press releases or collateral materials
- Providing social media management or clever blog posts to local merchants in exchange for free classes, meals, or merchandise
So, if you're looking to operate more efficiently in the year ahead, take a new look at the "old-school" advantages of bartering.
For bartering opportunities, consult Craigslist.org in your geographic area, or connect with other artists and entrepreneurs in your social media circles.
By the way...though today's post title is gender specific, these tips work equally well for my male readership.
Your turn. Have you ever bartered your creative services? Anything you would add here?

How to Overcome Your Envy of Other Writers!
|"Wish others well."
Guest Post By: Noelle Sterne
"Wish other writers well?" you're thinking. "Are you crazy? There's only one writer I want to wish well: knuckle-biting, discipline-fighting, draft-grinding me!"
Every bookstore displayed towering mountains of her bestseller.
The greater her praise, the deeper my self-deprecation.
Chronically depressed, I stopped reading reviews and crossed the street when a bookstore loomed.
Finally I realized something crucial, which led to the antidote I'm suggesting. This hard-to-swallow remedy is not proposed from magnanimity or naiveté. Rather, it's plain old self-interest: As I proved for way too long, jealousy of other writers just doesn't work.
Why? They don't plunge into depression at the news of their own advance/article/ assignment/ agent/bestseller/contract/book tour/miniseries/Oprah selection, etc., etc. They don't lose all interest and hope, condemn everything they've ever written as drivel, or swear there will never be enough to go around. They don't snap at everyone in sight, eat way too much, and write way too little.
Who does? You guessed it.
I'm tired of all that unproductive pain. It's finally pushed me to another, more fruitful perspective.
I realized that our envied colleagues, despite their intimidating accomplishments, remain only people. They too get cavities, have to shave, run out of coffee, and accumulate roomfuls of rejections.
And something else: No matter how stellar their past credits, like every one of us, they must daily face the next test of success—the blinding blankness of the empty page or screen.
The only difference between us and our supposed rivals is that they probably know something we've forgotten: an overnight success never is. In fact, our colleagues exemplify the truth of all those easily scoffed-at clichés:
· There's always room for someone good.
· Each of us is uniquely and irreplaceably creative.
· As you may have read before, be yourself. Everyone else is taken.
My conviction in these truisms was first challenged with my college classmate. When her third well-received novel came out, I wrote her a letter. I told her of my long, agonizing jealousy of her and how it had stopped me from writing. I said I nevertheless admired her work and wished her well with her in-progress fourth novel. She never replied, but that letter freed me tremendously. I still avoided bookstores but gradually wrote more and began to publish.
Recently, an equally ominous ordeal emerged. In a single week, I learned of the successes of several writing friends. One received a prestigious award for her children's book, another signed a contract for her first historical novel, and the third published his latest short story in a top national literary magazine.
At first this news pierced me like multiple wounds and almost sent me straight to bed with a fifty-pound bag of chocolate chip cookies. But then, although admittedly less than joyous, I resisted crawling under the quilt and instead strode over to my computer. Remembering my letter to my college nemesis, and defying the green-eyed gods of rejected writers, I brazenly fired off notes of congratulation to all three.
I wasn't fibbing. For one thing, as with my college classmate, I can't help praising a good piece of writing, whoever's written it. For another, I recalled the words of a very wise preacher: "If you curse the successful, you'll never be one of them. Bless them instead."
My congratulatory notes were certainly forms of "blessings," and self-interest again impelled me to reinforce them. Sitting at my desk, I addressed each of my accomplishing friends aloud (and a little self-consciously): "______, I wish you all the success, fame, and wealth you want, and more!"
The results were astonishing. My jealousy evaporated, depression disappeared, and spirit returned. I leapt into a manuscript I'd been avoiding for weeks and did splendid battle for several too-short hours, finishing an entire third draft.
More rewards came. The children's author sent a beautifully inscribed copy of her book. The historical novel writer called, thanked me profusely, and offered a personal referral to her agent. And a letter came from the short story writer. My words, he said, had pulled him out of a slump so severe he was sure he'd never write anything again. With my note propped in front of him, he'd just started another story.
Seeing their responses, I almost cried. My well-wishing had evoked these immediate blessings! All envy, like a wayward winged insect, flew right out the window.
My survival-driven stumbling into well-wishing was confirmed and extended by agent Anna Olswanger of Liza Dawson Associates (quoted by editor and writing teacher Deborah Brodie, "More Is More"). Talking about the children's book market, Olswanger said:
And more—remember, each time you wish other writers well, you're making room for your own greater success and wishing yourself nothing less than the best.

How Often Should You Blog? Some Food for Thought...
Some even everyday. And though blog frequency is a personal decision, often based upon a blogger's goals, time, type of blog, readership, and need to "connect" there are perhaps some general practices and principles to be observed, if you'd like to get the most out of your blogging efforts, and be able to go the distance.
Though I don't presume to know what's best for everybody, the information I will share today is based upon my many years as an expert Blogologist and award-winning blogger. And yes, I made that "Blogologist" title up. :-)
What inspired this post was a question I received from one of my readers who felt guilty because she had lost her blogging "mojO."
"Distressed" wanted to know what she should do. She just didn't feel much like updating her site after many years of faithful posting...and so she felt as if she was letting her readers down.
Not so. Not necessarily.
Here are a few things you should consider:
- The purpose of your blog--some sites would categorically require more "coverage" than others. For instance, if your site is based upon news or current events, it would probably need several updates a week. Or, if your blog is instructional in nature, frequent updates would likely be in order.
- Consider the needs of your audience--I'm a firm believer that quality should trump quantity. I would much rather "hear" from a blogger who posts just once a week with something valuable to share, than someone who pens a post daily with mundane things like what he ate for breakfast, problems with his pet rock collection, bouts with diarrhea, etc. as a matter of fact, I have actually "unsubscribed" to a few of these blogs.
- Remember that there is great truth to the expression, "Silence is golden." If you really don't have anything that you feel is worth sharing...by all means, don't. We'll understand.
- Whatever your designated frequency, always keep the lines of communication open. One of my biggest pet peeves is when bloggers take breaks for extended periods, and fail to announce it before taking off. Hello! Anybody home?
- Keep in mind, (as I stated in a previous post), that a blog post doesn't have to be of epic proportion for it to resonate with readers. It can be a video, motivational quotes, links to other interesting blogs, a book review, or even a contest. Get the idea?
- Consider the ebb and flow of readership. I don't know about you, but I find that no matter how awesome your posts may be, during the summer months and during the Xmas holidays, folks are just not checking in and commenting as much. Wouldn't you agree?
- Call in some reinforcement. Accepting guest bloggers is a great way to get a little break, while offering your readers content variety and exposure to different voices and views.
- Adopt Oprah's philosophy. When things feel "forced" they rarely feel good; we should heed that inner voice and have the courage to choose what's best for us.
- When in doubt, ask. Polls, surveys, and questions posed to your readers are all great ways to determine their needs and decide the future direction of your blog. Assess and then address. Also pay attention to the level and nature of comments received.
How often do you blog? Do tell.

Q & A Interview with Jenine Boisits of Beginnings Literary Journal
Please join me today in welcoming Jenine Boisits, the creator of a unique literary journal that caters to new and aspiring writers.
Q- Can you tell my readers a little about you and your experiential background as a writer?
A - Back in the early eighties, I was a struggling, unpublished writer going to school at Briarcliffe Secretarial school in Hicksville, NY. I was also taking classes at Nassau Community College in Uniondale for writing. In high school some of my work was published in our school magazine, Pegasus; I do mention that for a reason.
In my senior year of Jericho High school, I took a creative writing class and submitted a short story for one of our assignments. It was a 'recycled' story called "The Jogger," not a story written specifically for the class assignment. The following week we went over our stories in class but for some reason, my teacher, Mrs. Schwalb, called me up to her desk( in front of the entire class) to ask where I found the story used for the assignment! Apparently, according to her, it couldn't be mine because it had been handed in last year (and received an 'A') by another student! I was stunned because I didn't "find it"--I wrote it! Remembering that it was published in Pegasus the year prior, I brought in that year's issue to prove the story was written by me! So, at the early age of 17, my story, "The Jogger", was stolen by one of my classmates! And to add insult to injury, Mrs. Schwalb refused to reveal the identity of the student.
Q- Describe your writing process. Do you write every day?
A - I always write with music in the background--instrumental music, preferably Enya but without the distraction of singing. I love to write in the morning when the day is fresh and thoughts are clearer; not muddled with the mind's incessant chatter of what needs to be done, wandering thoughts, struggles. Can't say that I write every day. I know I should, and I try to, but I am not always disciplined.
Q- What was the inspiration behind Beginnings?
A - What inspired me to start Beginnings began with my own desire to see my work published. Even though I was already published in a few small presses and online, I was still sending my work out. That's what writers do... continually subjecting ourselves through the journey of one rejection slip after another, not to mention hours and hours of rewrite! rewrite! rewrite! So, after finally realizing I wanted to submit a story, I selected a small press and sent for the sample copy because I was unfamiliar with their publication. After paying my five dollars for their sample issue, waiting about three months without receiving one, I managed to find a phone number and called the editor. When I finally did receive the issue, I was shocked. Not only was it incredibly difficult to read due to its presentation and lack of order in the text itself, I realized I was fed up with everything! Even the work that was published was really not very good at all...spelling errors, too! Incredible! Time to change! Time to mix it up! Time to get off the hamster treadmill of the same ol' thing, same ol' thing.
If nothing changes--nothing changes! So, you can figure out the rest...this little small press was the impetus behind why I started Beginnings. The very next day I paid for a post office box and started the process of putting together a writing journal I could be proud of! Initially it was supposed to only cover Long Island, NY, but that ended in about a month as word spread and Beginnings became international in less than a year.
To sum up, it's a simple fix for the new writer: research the market before you send your work out, include a brief cover letter, take the time to find out the editor's name, and-- for goodness sakes--proof your work! I'm not saying that's all you need to do, but these simple changes will eventually result in a lot less rejection slips. Not only that, you will become a better, more polished writer in the process.
Q- What challenges do you think are the biggest for today's writers seeking a career in the publishing industry?
A - The writers that I deal with in terms of publishing are, of course, the new writers. So sometimes everything feels like the biggest challenge to them! This is why Beginnings fills such an important niche in the writing community-- because we not only introduce them to the tools they need, but we teach them how to best use them. One of the biggest struggles I see are writers who don't know where to send their work. Writer's Digest publishes a very important guide book called Writer's Market that provides more than 8,000 listings for book publishers & writing agents. But, they also have smaller versions (magazines instead of hard cover books) for fiction writers, poets, and places to find literary agents, literary contests and advice on how to become a better writer! Writer's Digest and Writer's Market should be on every writer's desk!
Q- What was the best advice you ever received about writing?
A - This might seem silly, but an editor at Writer's Digest really made an impact on me when I was just twelve years old. This editor took the time to answer a young child's fiction submission, but not only that, he took the time to sit down and write a kind and helpful letter. He explained that Writer's Digest was the wrong place to send my work, but not only that, he even critiqued the story! He did say in closing that he would not write me again so do not submit any more work! Of course I didn't listen, and of course he didn't answer, still he was the one who gave me the "best advice ever received. It was simply this: Write what you know, write from the heart! I don't think I understood those words back then as well as I do now, but at age twelve, it was quite an amazing feeling! After all, not only did he acknowledge my existence, but he read my story! And the best part of this story? Years later, after publishing my own literary journal, in 2002 and again in 2003, Writer's Digest chose Beginnings Publishing, Inc., as one of their top thirty picks for fiction markets!
Word to the wise:
Not all small presses are created equal. New writers have to realize it's all about finding what works best for you in terms of what you want to achieve as a writer. If you want to be published, then you need to study the markets and adhere to their specific guidelines. Find the right market for your fiction or poetry-- or whatever your passion is-- and work hard at improving your craft!
I'd like to end this interview with a quote that is incredibly applicable for Beginnings:
"It's none of their business that you have to learn to write. Let them think you were born that way."
- Ernest Hemingway

Retrain Your Brain! Innovative Ways to Update Your Blog and Maintain Momentum...
With millions of blogs launched into the blogosphere, and new ones created each year, it's an extremely crowded and competitive field. In fact, "Google" writing blogs and you'll render over 1,500,000 search results.
Adding insult to injury is that in order for blogs to help build a platform and sustain a popular following, updates must be made on a regular basis. Experts recommend weekly.
That's a pretty tall order.
So how can bloggers infuse their sites regularly with interesting, informative, engaging content to capture an audience, avoid burnout, and stand above the competition?
By redefining what a blog post is. It's time for a paradigm shift…
First let's examine the "original" definition of a blog post.
Once upon a time, blog posts were considered "textual" entries appearing in reverse chronological order on a blog, (also known as an online journal).
Bloggers would often use posts to rant, raise awareness of important causes, and even to showcase their creative poetry.
Fast Forward to 2014...
With 100s of niches, themes, approaches, and professional goals, a blog post can differ depending upon who's doing the blogging and the blogger's objective.
For example, a food blogger, seeking to promote and sell her recently launched cookbook might share a "blog post" in the form of her favorite recipe.
Here's some "food for thought": you can too.
So what exactly is the criteria for a blog post?
To diversify your blog content, and provide for more innovative posting, here are some examples of different techniques and tools used by today's successful blogger.
Try one or all of these to expand your blogging horizons.
A blog post can be:
- A writing prompt
- A recipe (often used by food bloggers). You can use family recipes or food as a metaphor for another concept even.
- Photographs or images
- A You-Tube Video
- A book review
- A music review
- A rant (often used by younger bloggers or recreational bloggers)
- An info-graphic
- A how-to/tutorial (often used by tech sites or teaching sites)
- Links to other interesting sites/ resources
- A listing (top 10 reasons)
- An interview
- A guest post (provided by other writers in your niche)
- A survey or poll
- A debate on a current issue or controversial topic (school reform, immigration)
- A poem
- A contest (to promote a book, product, or service) and to increase traffic
- Quotes (the site, TinyBuddha.com attracts a mega-following based upon this simple practice)
- Quick tips (decorating, gardening, shopping)
- A success story or failure---
Darren Rowse of Problogger.net, goes further to suggest that bloggers should "experiment with different types of posts" to help battle with what he calls "blogger's block."
Now that you know the different types of blog posts that are potentially possible, here's how to deliver:
- Recognize that a blog post doesn't have to be of epic proportions. Size doesn't always matter; substance is equally important. For example, sometimes I will share motivational quotes and a beautiful image on a Monday, to help inspire other writers for the rest of their week.
- Remember that passion is a prerequisite to successful, long-term blogging. Choose a topic that excites you, and most times your readers will be excited too! A good approach here is to consider a blog based upon your hobby or profession.
- Consider the benefits of guest bloggers to help you to keep up with the demands of blogging. You can either pitch people you admire and ask for a guest post, or create general guidelines for guest posters and place the information in a prominent place on your site. Make sure to include the length, acceptable topics, and desired format.
- Make sure to encourage reader feedback to determine what method/technique works best for your particular readership and goals.
Follow these timely tips to keep your blogging "mojo" and keep your readers engaged regularly.
Your turn.
Thoughts? Anything you would add here?

Reality Check...Are You Babysitting Your Blog?
Let's face it: for many of us, our Blogs are like our babies.
Think about it.
We "create" them. Nurture them. Ooh and Ahh over them. Delight in their growth.
And many times like proud parents, we even dote over them; sharing images of celebrations and milestones with our families, co-workers and friends.
...And, if we're lucky, we watch them mature and reach their full potential.
But, If we're not careful, rather than becoming a proud "addition" to our family of creative projects, they become all consuming and confining--leaving us irritable, sleep deprived, and stressed.
Are you guilty?
Take this quick quiz to find out.
- Do you plan your vacations so that you're not gone away from posting too long, or without adequate coverage?
- When you're on vacation, do you find that you can't fully disengage? In other words, you miss it, and it's constantly on your brain.
- Do you "monitor" your stats and comments several times a day?
- Do you sacrifice time and money to make sure that it is well provided for?
Here are a few things to keep in mind...
- You both need to have your own life with boundaries and limits.
- The fuller and more balanced your life is, the more you'll have to write about.
- Periodic breaks will allow you to regroup and refuel. Increasing the likelihood that you'll go the distance.
They say that confession is good for the soul.
So how about you...are you babysitting your Blog?

N.Korea seen moving mid-range missile to east coast - reports
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea has moved what appears to be a mid-range Musudan missile to its east coast, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said on Thursday, quoting multiple government sources privy to intelligence from U.S. and South Korean authorities.
It was not clear if the missile was mounted with a warhead or whether the North was planning to fire it or was just putting it on display as a show of force, one South Korean government source was quoted as saying.
"South Korean and U.S. intelligence authorities have obtained indications the North has moved an object that appears to be a mid-range missile to the east coast," the source said.
The Musudan missile is believed to have a range of 3,000 km (1,875 miles) or more, which would put all of South Korea and Japan in range and possibly also the U.S. territory of Guam in the Pacific Ocean. North Korea is not believed to have tested these mid-range missiles, according to most independent experts
South Korea's defence ministry declined to comment.
North Korea has threatened a nuclear strike on the United States and missile attacks on its Pacific bases, including in Guam. Those threats followed new U.N. sanctions imposed on the North after it carried out its third nuclear test in February.
The missile was moved to the coast by train. The North has a missile launch site on the northeastern coast, which it has used to unsuccessfully test-fire long-range rockets in the past.
The Yonhap report did not say if the missile had been moved to the missile site.
Japan's Asahi Shimbun newspaper issued a similar report on Thursday, saying the North had moved what appeared to be a long-range missile to its east coast.

Texas Rangers' Offense Doing Fine Without Nelson Cruz
Less then two weeks ago, the Texas Rangers were six games behind the Oakland A's for first place in the American League West. The Rangers didn't trade for a bat at the deadline while fans sat around in bewilderment. After Nelson Cruz was suspended earlier this week by MLB, the writing was on the wall for Texas. The thought process was they should just play out the season and forget about any type of playoff hopes this year.
The only problem with this mentality is somebody forgot to tell Texas this. It only took a week and a half but the Rangers made up the six-game deficit and currently sit tied with Oakland for first place. The Rangers have won 1o out of their last 11 games, including two three-game sweeps of the Los Angeles Angels and a series win over the A's.
With the Cruz suspension, questions arose of who would step up in his absence and could the Rangers score enough runs to compensate him not being there. If this week is any indication, Rangers fans have nothing to worry about. Texas has scored 32 runs in the four games without Cruz in the lineup, including a 9-5 win over the Houston Astros on Friday night.
Texas will look to keep pace, if not overtake the A's this weekend, as they continue their four-game series in Houston. Derek Holland will be on the mound Saturday for Texas, and the bats will hope to keep rolling. If the bats keep doing what they've been doing, then look for Texas' winning streak to keep going.

Job seeker or job stalker? The key is good follow-up
Send this to a friend

Each week Career Mojo answers career questions from readers. Do you have a question you would like me to answer? Email me here: firstname.lastname@example.com. Please use the comment section below to respond to today's questions with your experience or your advice.
A human resources recruiter interviewed me and stated that I was a good candidate for a sales and marketing position. I did everything I could think of: Congratulatory notes to the CEO on winning awards and comments on the company's Facebook pages.
One night I took a written note and a resume into one of the offices that was holding an open house. I met a woman, Sharon, and she told me she was the VP, and I introduced myself as a potential future candidate. Sharon said she would schedule a time to meet me. So I contacted the recruiter, asking for an informational meeting with Sharon.
The day before the interview was scheduled, the recruiter called and cancelled. She would not reschedule. She advised me that I need to wait until a job opening occurs and then apply again on the company's website. The recruiter indicated that I pushed too hard.
Do you think they have tossed me as a "stalker"? Please advise what action you think I should take.
Advice from Career Mojo:
Although most job seekers don't follow up enough, too much follow-up and you risk moving from being a "pest" to being a "job stalker."
Be aware of these two basic truths:
- Recruiters are – and should be – proud of the work they do, and they are the owners of the hiring process. Rightfully, it upsets them when you go around them without immediately informing them of your networking activities and results.
- Recruiters, hiring managers, interviewers and anybody else you contact at the new company are watching your job search behaviors. Will you fit into our culture? Will you be an annoying co-worker? For a sales or marketing job, will you be a pest to clients? Are you politically savvy and know how to navigate around companies?
Here are some tips to avoid being a "Job Stalker:"
- Space out your follow up. My rule of thumb is seven working days after contact of any kind. Yes, I know that seems like eternity, but it respects the other person's busy schedule. Remember, hiring you is NOT their top priority — it's yours.
- Be brief. Don't write long letters or send long lists of links the recruiter or hiring manager should check out.
- Put your follow-up schedule for each job prospect in your calendar. Make a 30-minute appointment with yourself to, "Follow up with the Company XYZ position." Then put the last e-mail exchange – the entire thread – in the body of your reminder invitation.
- When sending a follow up, don't assume the recipient has any of the prior communication at hand. Include it in your email for reference.
- If you have a phone call with someone, ask him or her the communication method they prefer for follow up. Show respect for their time and use their preferred method – telephone, phone, email, etc.

PlayStation Vita launching December 17
Wednesday 14 September 2011
Sony's PSP successor, the PlayStation Vita handheld console, will make its worldwide debut in Japan on December 17.
That's seven days after Nintendo launches a controller expansion for its competing portable console, the 3DS, alongside the coveted Monster Hunter 3G.
Initially, the crystal black Vita will be available in three bundles for the Japanese market, with pre-orders commencing on October 15.
The base model comes with WiFi functionality, a USB-to-Vita connection cable and an AC adaptor for ¥24,980 (about $325).
A Limited Edition model costs ¥5,000 ($65) extra, adding 3G and a pre-paid SIM card with 20 hours credit, while the 500,000 First Run editions come with 100 hours' worth.
A 20-hour card would cost ¥980 ($12) on its own, with 100-hour cards also available at ¥4,980 ($65).
Twenty-six games comprise the system's launch line-up, which includes Uncharted: Golden Abyss, F1 2011, Power Smash 4 (aka Virtua Tennis 4), Katamary Damacy Vita, and Minna No Golf 6 ( Hot Shots Golf / Everybody's Golf).
The Vita launch date was revealed during a press conference at the Tokyo Game Show, at which Sony also promised Vita entries to the iconic Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Shin Megami Tensei and Tales Of series.
No date was given for the Vita's launch outside of Japan, which is anticipated for early 2012. Prices have already been confirmed at $249, €249 or £229 for the WiFi version and $299, €299 or £279 for both WiFi and 3G.

Mike Morse stating his case for starting left field job
Mar 12, 2011, 2:29 PM EST
Many argued that Mike Morse deserved a larger role with the Nationals after he batted .289/.352/.519 with 15 homers in 266 at-bats as a part-time player last season, but he came into camp without a clear path to playing time following the offseason additions of Jayson Werth, Adam LaRoche and Rick Ankiel.
Let's just say he's trying to force his way into the lineup.
Including a two-run homer off A.J. Burnett earlier this afternoon, Morse is batting .481 (13-for-27) with five home runs, two doubles and nine RBI this spring.
It's tough to put too much emphasis on spring training statistics, but Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo told Ben Goessling of MASNSports.com this morning that Morse has already made an impression.
"He's gotten an opportunity, and he's taken the bull by the horns," Rizzo said. "If opening day was tomorrow, he certainly would be our opening day left fielder."
Of course, the right-handed hitting Morse is no lock to be a productive everyday player. Though he batted .287 against right-handed pitching last season, an encouraging sign in limited duty, the 28-year-old has never received more than total 300 plate appearances in a single season in the majors. He's also a below-average defender in the outfield.
Assuming the Nationals let Morse sink or swim in left field — and really, they might as well see what they have here — that would mean Ankiel and/or Roger Bernadina would have to wrestle the center field job away from Nyjer Morgan.
- sumerduckman - Mar 12, 2011 at 5:41 PM
" that would mean Ankiel and Roger Bernadina would have to wrestle the center field job away from Nyjer Morgan."
Please!!! Either one would be a better choice/option than Morgan.
- Brian Murphy - Mar 13, 2011 at 10:36 PM
I'd be scared to wrestle Roger Bernadina for anything after seeing what shape he's in this spring.

Orchard Park, NY (Sports Network) - Buffalo's defense picked off Joe Flacco five times and the Bills came away with a 23-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
EJ Manuel completed 10-of-22 passes for 167 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions for the Bills (2-2), who bounced back from last week's 27-20 loss to the New York Jets.
Fred Jackson carried the ball 16 times for 87 yards and a score for Buffalo. C.J. Spiller rushed for 77 yards on 23 carries, while Robert Woods caught four passes for 80 yards and a touchdown.
"I'm proud of this team. We've had a lot of adversity in this program," Bills coach Doug Marrone said.
Flacco connected on 25-of-50 passes for 347 yards, two touchdowns and a career-high five interceptions for the Ravens (2-2), who had a two-game winning streak snapped.
"We're definitely going to get better," Flacco said. "We have to get better. A lot of that falls on me."
Ray Rice, who sat out last week's game because of a hip flexor strain, was limited to 17 yards on five carries. Torrey Smith caught five passes for 166 yards and a score.
Trailing 23-14, Baltimore got an interception from Corey Graham. Smith caught a 74-yard pass on the first play to move the ball to the 17-yard line of the Bills. The visitors had to settle for a 35-yard Justin Tucker field goal with 7:12 left in the fourth.
After the Bills went three-and-out, the Ravens used another big passing play to move the ball down the field. Deonte Thompson's 33-yard catch combined with a personal foul put the ball at the 11-yard line. Once again, Baltimore had to settle for a field goal. Tucker's 24-yarder cut the gap to 23-20 with 4:04 remaining.
The Ravens got the ball back with 2:20 left. Flacco's final pick of the day landed in the hands of Kiko Alonso.
Bills kicker Dan Carpenter made a pair of field goals in the first quarter. On Buffalo's first possession of the game, Scott Chandler and T.J. Graham caught passes of 14 and 26 yards, respectively. The home team settled for a 27-yard Carpenter field goal.
Aaron Williams followed with an interception of Flacco. The Bills started from the Baltimore 25-yard line, but settled for another 27-yard Carpenter field goal.
Baltimore's defense came up with a big play on the first play of the second stanza. Chris Canty sacked Manuel and forced a fumble, which Brandon Williams recovered for the Ravens at the Buffalo 27-yard line. Three plays later, Marlon Brown caught a 10-yard TD pass to give the visitors a 7-6 edge.
The Bills took the lead back on Woods' 42-yard TD catch with 8:40 left until the break.
Buffalo's offense quickly got the ball back after Jim Leonhard picked off Flacco at the Baltimore 28-yard line. After Chandler caught a 14-yard pass on 3rd-and-12, Jackson rumbled into the end zone for a 16-yard score.
The Ravens had a great chance to score early in the third period. Daryl Smith picked off Manuel at the Buffalo 18-yard line. Baltimore, however, failed to capitalize as Aaron Williams intercepted Flacco's pass in the end zone.
After forcing the Bills to punt, Baltimore took over at its own 20. Smith's 22-yard catch combined with a 15-yard penalty on the Bills put the ball at the Buffalo 26-yard line. Smith caught a touchdown pass on the next play to get the Ravens within six, 20-14, with 7:17 left.
Flacco, though, threw his fourth interception of the game later in the third quarter. This time around, Alonso picked off Flacco near midfield. The Bills had to settle for a 22-yard Carpenter field goal after Woods had a 4- yard TD catch reversed. Woods was unable to get both feet down in the right corner of the end zone.
The Bills and Ravens have split six all-time meetings ... Baltimore was
without wide receiver Brandon Stokley ... Buffalo played without the services
of cornerbacks Ron Brooks and Leodis McKelvin, safety Jairus Byrd, defensive
back Stephon Gilmore and kicker Dustin Hopkins.

Investing in your favorite oil driller or gold miner is risky business.
Resource companies, like these, go to great lengths. Whether it be mining for gold hundreds (or thousands) of feet underground in South Africa or drilling for oil amidst the rolling sea-swells in the North Sea, it takes a certain ilk to profit in this business.
Investing in these plays harkens the same level of expertise.
Today I want to take a look at a few pitfalls in the resource sector. But, instead of lamenting about profits we could've made, I want to take those lessons learned and hand you one simple strategy to stay ahead of the S&P or any other market barometer in the year to come.
First though, let's lament.
The resource sector is filled with pitfalls. Looking at your own portfolio I'm sure it's easy to pick out the stocks you shouldn't have bought. Same goes for my calls…
Back in 2009 I remember beating the drum for one specific oil company (BP), because of its superb ability to get oil to the surface efficiently and pay a nice divided.
Then, as it were, if you followed the news in spring of 2010 then you know BP's Macondo well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico was a tragedy of epic proportions. Something that even this big oil standout couldn't stop.
The tumble in BP's share price couldn't be stopped either. Along with falling from over $60 to under $30, the company cut its longstanding dividend. If you were looking to weather the storm, this wasn't your shelter.
Yep. To say investing is tough, in these proverbial waters, is quite an understatement.
Same goes for some of the gold mining woes we've seen this year.
Don't get me wrong – I like, scratch that, I LOVE big oil and big gold companies – but even the big dogs in the gold sector appear to have their tail between their legs.
As we've covered extensively, this year (and last) has been a struggle for big gold. Miners can't control costs and gold is getting harder to find (in large mineable amounts.) Add it up, and buying into these companies, much like the BP buy turned out to be a 24-month disaster.
Luckily there's a strategy that could get us back on track.
An Investment Strategy For 2013…
Okay, enough of the bad news and horror stories in the resource sector. Like any savvy investor, we need to get up, dust ourselves off and keep an eye out for the best way to keep making money.
Today I see an opportunity right in our wheelhouse – that still has plenty of upside.
I'm talking about "midstream" players. These are the companies that transport and process oil and gas that flowing profusely from America's shale patch. Earlier this year we covered a similar idea – something that is referred to as the "harvest" phase.
Today there's mounting evidence that these players are going to continue to rake in money – by charging a fee for transport of oil and gas – and continue paying solid dividends.
The story is easy to follow, too. With each passing day the U.S. is producing more barrels per day. This simple up-tick in production is creating all sorts of opportunities around the country. All of a sudden there's a glut of oil in Cushing, OK. Who profits from this glut? The guys that can move the oil.
Same goes for natural gas. With so much of the stuff flooding the pipelines there's plenty of opportunity to process and move it. Propane, Butane, Ethane… any company, from Texas to Pennsylvania, that can process this gas stands to make a buck. And better yet, pass some of that buck a long to you!
Here's a few of the best midstream players we've covered:
• Access Midstream Partners LP* (ACMP) – 5.4%
• DCP Midstream Partners LP (DPM) – 6.8%
• Plains All American Pipeline LP (PAA) – 4.7%
• Williams Partners LP (WPZ) – 6.6%
[*Note, this is the former Chesapeake Midstream…
a spin off from Chesapeake's ailing energy company]
With more oil and gas flowing – through pipelines, trucks and railways – these logistic companies are in the right spot of this budding market (and the list above is by no means exhaustive, either!)
Remember, production from many of the now-prolific shale plays in the U.S. is just ramping up. Take a look at the table I shared back in October:
More oil and gas, regardless of price, will mean big things for the U.S. midstream sector.
That's great news for us. But it gets even better…
First, these midstream companies love to pay consistent dividends. At a time when the Federal Reserve is printing U.S. dollars like Chinese carry-out ads, these stable dividends couldn't come at a better time.
Second, we're still keeping an eye out for a pullback in market prices. That said, if any of these midstream assets fall in price – due to the fumbling U.S. Congress – there could be a short window of time to pick em up on the cheap. That means lower entry price and higher dividend payout.
Getting back to our discussion above, the U.S. midstream sector is one of the safest places to stock some investment cash. A lot of the variables that can plague other resource sectors – dry holes, bad core results, high costs, and overzealous management – don't apply here. Simply put, these are some of the most straightforward resource bets you can make.
If you're looking to stuff your portfolio with homegrown dividend plays, hopefully on the cheap, you'll want to keep an eye on the midstream guys.
Keep your boots muddy,

"Am I missing an eyebrow?"Whenever fire or explosions are involved, the first thing to go is inevitably the eyebrows. This is nearly always Played for Laughs. This is usually a good way to have people hit by fire come away without true injuries in comedic works. In Real Life, eyebrows do get singed off fairly readily in the case of flame, due to being fairly prominent on the face and thinner than normal hair. However, singed eyebrows may accompany more serious burns as well, so Don't Try This at Home. See also Playing with Fire, Kill It with Fire, or Ash Face. Compare Close-Call Haircut.
