Good morning, Netizens…
In this picture, (June 21, 2009
AP Photo/Markus Schreiber) an Iranian woman living in Germany weeps during a protest against the
results of the Presidential elections in Iran and post election
violence, in Berlin, Germany, Sunday. Which brings us to our quote of the day:
In politics you must always keep running with the pack. The moment that you falter and they sense that you are injured, the rest will turn on you like wolves.
R. A. Butler (1902 - 1982)

Today has to be perfect.
I look at the clock.
Ten fourteen. One plus one is two plus four is six plus ten is sixteen minus one is fifteen minus two is thirteen. OK.
I turn from the clock and walk into the hallway. "Ready."
Saturday will be the third state soccer championship in a row for Jake Martin. Three. A good number. Prime. With Jake on the field, Carson City High can't lose because Jake has the magic: a self-created protection generated by his obsession with prime numbers. It's the magic that has every top soccer university recruiting Jake, the magic that keeps his family safe, and the magic that suppresses his anxiety attacks. But the magic is Jake's prison, because sustaining it means his compulsions take over nearly every aspect of his life.
Jake's convinced the magic will be permanent after Saturday, the perfect day, when every prime has converged. Once the game is over, he won't have to rely on his sister to concoct excuses for his odd rituals. His dad will stop treating him like he is some freak. Maybe he'll even make a friend other than Luc.
But what if the magic doesn't stay?
What if the numbers never leave?
Acclaimed author Heidi Ayarbe has created an honest and riveting portrait of a teen struggling with obsessive compulsive disorder in this breathtaking and courageous novel.
About the Author
Heidi Ayarbe grew up in Nevada and has lived all over the world. She now makes her home in Colombia with her husband and daughter. She is also the author of Compulsion, Compromised, and Freeze Frame.
Praise for Compulsion…
Ayarbe exercises both enormous skill and restraint getting to the root of just how debilitating OCD can become, juxtaposing descriptions of the ways the mind's compulsions can trip a trap of mental and physical anguish against a complex, credibly casted portrayal of teen social dynamics. A gripping, claustrophobic read.
-Booklist (starred review)
A compelling entrée into the claustrophobic world of an OCD teen. Taut, suspenseful and well-realized
-Kirkus Reviews
"Teen readers will be quickly caught up in the sheer momentum of Jake's tale as he unwittingly reveals the source of his terrors and compulsions. This achingly believable novel is highly recommended for libraries serving young adults."
-Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
COMPULSION is a starkly honest, compelling read. It will grab you and plunge you into the unusual, yet strangely familiar mind of Jake Martin and you will come out different.
-Francisco Stork, author of MARCELO IN THE REAL WORLD
When I finished, I closed the book and said, "Wow." When an author can convey emotions and struggles of a character in a powerful way, you have a winning tale. Language, dialogue, and pacing is very realistic and stays true without falling back on clichés and stereotypes. A must read.
"Convincing and gut-wrenching. Jake's story is a powerful one. If you're up for a book that will drag your emotions in and hold them 'til the last page, Compulsion may be just what you're looking for."
A compelling and convincing narrative voice. Both poignant and earthy. Numerous shadowy flashbacks help build tension throughout the novel. Older teen readers will be quickly caught up in the sheer momentum of Jake's tale as he unwittingly reveals the source of his terrors and compulsions. Achingly believable. Highly recommended.
-Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
One of the most realistic works of fiction portraying OCD that I have yet to come across. I'd love to see Jake Martin's story discussed not just among YA readers but in psych classes and reading groups.
This is [a book] I recommend to anyone. It will be eye-opening.
A must-read, especially for those who have an interest in psychology or who have some kind of experience with OCD.

10 Biggest U.S. IPOs
This story has been updated from its initial publication of Nov. 18, 2010.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Facebook's much-anticipated filing of its S-1 Securities and Exchange Commission registration statement after the market closed Wednesday has gotten the investment world buzzing.
Facebook is looking to raise $5 billion through an initial public offering, but could raise as much as $10 billion if all the overallotment shares are sold, some say. It is expected to price its shares in the spring under the ticker "FB."
The social media giant is being peddled as the largest recent technology IPO. According to a Renaissance Capital IPO index, Zynga (ZNGA) raised $1 billion in December, Renren (RENN) raised $743 million in May, Groupon (GRPN) raised $700 million in November and LinkedIn (LNKD) raised $292 million in May- -- even Google's (GOOG) 2004 IPO of just $1.7 billion will likely fall short of Facebook's IPO.Compared with other industries, Facebook's expected deal size isn't so impressive, although so far this year none match up: four U.S. IPOs have priced for companies that have a market cap of greater than $50 million. The proceeds from those companies totaled $400 million. Eighteen others have filed registration forms, according to Renaissance Capital. The stocks that have priced this year haven't seen much of a pop on their first day of trading. On average, those stocks fell 22% on the first day. The average IPO this year has returned 10.3% from its offer price, Renaissance Capital says. We looked at the 10 largest U.S. offerings in history according to Dealogic.

School Transportation Security Awareness
The School Transportation Security Awareness, or STSA, program was developed by us in conjunction with the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services, the National Association of Pupil Transportation and the National School Transportation Association to provide much needed security awareness information and training to the school transportation industry. STSA focuses on terrorist and criminal threats to school buses, bus passengers and destination facilities. It is designed to provide school bus drivers, administrators, and staff members with information that will enable them to effectively identify and report perceived security threats, as well as the skills to appropriately react and respond to a security incident should it occur.
The STSA program consists of a 24-minute DVD of a simulated school bus hijacking and Web-based, self-study modules offered in both English and Spanish. The program was designed so the information can be obtained in a classroom setting or by individual self-guided study on-line. The STSA Internet Training Facilitator's Guide and additional group instructional resources can be downloaded from the web site by clicking the supplemental information tab.

Sheryl Sandberg Wants Us to "Lean In"
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 03-11-2013 - 3:57pm
There is a lot in the news regarding Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's new book, "Lean In", in which she is trying to empower women to be more aggressive in the workplace. It's interesting to read the different viewpoints on the debate, ranging from ABC News to CNN and the New York Times.
From an iVillage article:
But time is exactly what's holding many women back. The time investment required for women to move ahead in their jobs at all levels -- not just the C-suite spots -- is a deal breaker for many women who aren't willing to sacrifice those hours with their family. All of Sandberg's brilliant plans for redefining how working women are viewed and how they network hinge on the point that women need to want these jobs. And if the current formula of working longer and harder for career success doesn't change, many women won't.
The articles discuss various issues that have been debated here before, such as if women can truly have it all and why women aren't as aggressive as their male counterparts to get what they deserve in the workplace. Detractors feel that with her work history, education and success, she's unable to understand the average working woman, she's not up against the same obstacles.
What do you think needs to change in the work place in order for women to succeed, and maybe find an easier balance between their work and home lives? Do you think that encouraging more women to be aggressive about moving up the corporate ladder is realistic?

Nonsense. You brought it up, What does say about women who AREN'T getting ahead? Listen to female leaders, They aren't so caught up in that.

What nonsense? My example for leadership shows that men are disportionately represented at the leadership level and women are not given EQUAL opportunity (not NO opportunity). 50 men vs 5 women leadership class in a company that is noted for diversity tells me something is wrong and opportunity is not yet equal.

But what do I know - I am actually a working woman, in a leadership role. I am sure the SAHMs, with husbands who tell them stuff have superior insight to the advantages/disadvantages of working women in corporate America. Talk about nonsense...

The SAHM here totally agrees w/you...

I thought the whole point of SAHM was to keep your kids away from Evil Substitute Caregivers. Now SuperMom SAHMS need Nannys. Sheesh. Makes me glad my kids are nearly grown. The rules are getting way too hard to keep up with.

If you're sarcastically referring to Jam's post about "delegating" and my post about "hired help" I think the take-away was that I don't mow the lawn, I pay someone. I pay a cleaning lady. I pay for help, I delegate. I'm not sure why your children being grown up makes you glad ~ the rules haven't changed. Gardeners and cleaning ladies have been around some time now.

And I can't image another stay at home mom objecting to that, But this board proves otherwise, Lol. I like that you have a gardener, I use a landscaper now and then, They come out to tend my lawn and when we first moved here they tore a rose bush out of our front yard and replaced it with a nice evergreen, It was nice and I'm glad I can pay to keep these people in business too.

You're missing the point mops, I have connections with a lot of PhDs too, The excellent ones are not tossing their titles around like some/and I'd wage many others do. It's sort of like finding the right medical doctor, There's a difference b/w those that treat people like human beings and others that aren't worth a dime, Lol.
I have a lot of contact with PhDs. So much so that having a PhD is no big deal, everyone in the room has one. However, once in awhile the arrogant twerps really are the best in their field. Sometimes they aren't. In my experience (and that of my grad students) it is often the people at the very top who are most generous with their time and expertise. Sometimes the ones "in the middle" are less generous, probably because they haven't made it to the top of the profession and they see their positions as more precarious. I don't know.
I would not pick a surgeon based on her bedside manner.
|Tue, 03-12-2013 - 3:35pm
And the stereotypes continue, Only working moms hire out help... Lol.
Really? That's what you are seeing? I am seeing one SAHM who doesn't have hired help and one who does, and one who occasionally hires out something. I am seeing one WOHM who has cleaning help, and some who don't (I don't). We don't have a gardener, but I did hire someone to take out a couple of dead trees recently. I'm seeing the use of "help" to be a matter of personal preference/style, not a function of WOHM/SAHM status.
|Tue, 03-12-2013 - 4:42pm
And the stereotypes continue, Only working moms hire out help... Lol.
No stereotype from me. I just find it unnecessary.

I guess I just fail to see the need to pay someone to do something I can do perfectly well myself. The days I mow the lawn, I skip the gym. Cleaning is a part of life. It isn't difficult or even particularly time consuming. If I WOH FT, perhaps I would need to hire someone. But I've got 40-50 hrs a week to get the cleaning done that a WOHM doesn't have. Time management, I guess...
Why do you assume sahms must clean toilets? I don't "skip the gym." Exercise is a priority for me. Clearning is not "particularly time-consuming for you," but it is for me. It's possible the size of your house is different than my house. It's never been a question of time management.

My professors dock for typos or malapropisms--proofreading is expected.

Hmm, maybe that's why I posed the question to Bord and not to you.

1st) Take the Cake
Take the Cake would prefer that you not order your wedding cake over the phone. Once you come into the shop to experience their hands-on approach, you'll understand why. "We want them to taste things, to be able to feel and smell, and we pack them samples to take home," explains Pastry Chef Kimberly Langella. The benefits go beyond the tasting and tactile. "We also try to match the cake aesthetic to the rest of the wedding decorations," Langella says. "Some people bring invitations so we can understand what theme they're going for, and we'll decorate according to the same color scheme and design." And unlike most cake shops, Take the Cake skips the fondant altogether. "We don't use it at all because it's artificial. Our cakes are all-natural. We think it looks much better with fresh flowers than fondant and glue. And it definitely tastes better."

Principle 1: Relevance to Policy Issues—A statistical agency must provide information that is relevant to issues of public policy and useful to a broad range of public- and private-sector users as well as the general public. To establish priorities for its programs, a statistical agency must not only work closely with the executive branch, Congress, and interested non-governmental groups, but also engage a broad spectrum of users in the business sector, academia, state and local governments, and elsewhere. Interaction with stakeholders is essential to enable a statistical agency to continually reassess the needs of its users for information.
Principle 2: Credibility Among Data Users—Because few data users are in a position to verify the completeness and accuracy of statistical information, they must rely on an agency's reputation as a source of accurate and useful statistics that are free from political and other undue external influence. An agency builds credibility with users when it widely disseminates its data on an equal basis to all. Also essential to building credibility is that an agency exhibit openness about its data sources and their limitations, be willing to understand and meet user needs, and provide full documentation of the processes used to produce and disseminate statistical products.
Principle 3: Trust Among Data Providers—Data providers, such as survey respondents and custodians of administrative records, must be able to trust that the information they provide to a statistical agency will be used only for the purposes that the agency has described. Thus, they must be able to trust that information collected for statistical purposes will not be used for another purpose, such as law enforcement or regulation, directed at specific individuals or organizations. Data providers must also be able to trust that a statistical agency will honor its pledge to protect the confidentiality of their responses. A statistical agency further builds trust among data providers by respecting their privacy and autonomy through minimizing the intrusiveness of questions and the time and effort to respond, consistent with the agency's requirements for information, and through informing them of the expected time required to participate in the data collection, whether the collection is mandatory or voluntary, and the important uses of the information.
Principle 4: Independence from Political and Other Undue External Influence—To be credible and unhindered in its mission, a statistical agency must maintain a widely acknowledged position of independence from undue

Sigh of relief at G20 summit over Greek election
LOS CABOS, Mexico World leaders expressed relief on the eve of a G20 summit that Greek voters had stepped back from the edge and elected a government that supports painful reforms in exchange for a European Union bailout of the country's troubled economy.
Fears that Greek voters would instead choose an anti-bailout government and possibly force the country's exit from the currency union had haunted the gathering in this sunbaked Mexican resort, where the crisis facing Greece, Spain, Italy and other European economies have taken center stage.
Instead, world leaders said they saw Sunday's vote as a boost for European unity even in the face of economic turbulence.
"The Greek people have spoken," European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said in a joint statement. "We salute the courage and resilience of the Greek citizens, fully aware of the sacrifices which are demanded from them to redress the Greek economy and build new, sustainable growth for the country."
As the pair indicated, the path ahead for Greece, and by extension the bigger economies of Italy and Spain, remains unclear and market turmoil could erupt again at virtually any time. A Greek exit from the currency union had threatened potentially catastrophic consequences for other ailing European nations and the global economy.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy lauded the Greek vote while speaking to reporters in Mexico, saying "we have improved a lot since we've entered the euro."
"What's happened in Greece is good news," Rajoy said. "The Greek citizens have done the right thing. The European Union is going to help Greece, because the European Union is and must be a joint project that seeks the well-being and the material improvement of all European citizens."
Chinese Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao stressed the importance of stability in the wake of the Greek vote.
"We hope this new government will be on a solid footing and can maintain stability since stability is important to promoting development," Zhu said. "We believe that Greece should stay within the euro zone."
U.S. President Barack Obama, set to arrive Sunday night, and the summit's host, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, have been downplaying expectations for the summit.
Obama is seeking bolder, swifter signals from Europe that it will contain its financial mess and keep it from torpedoing the U.S. economy and his re-election chances along with it.
Calderon has given a more optimistic message, including that he expects the G20 to produce record donations to the International Monetary Fund, exceeding member states' pledges of $430 billion this year and bolstering its ability to conduct more bailouts in Europe.
There were, however, clear signs of deep divisions over this relatively straightforward measure. Calderon said the U.S. would decline to contribute, a decision in line with Washington's position that more IMF money would be a de-facto U.S. bailout of Europe. It was unclear how much money would come from emerging economies such as Brazil and India, which have been pushing for more say in the governance of the IMF in exchange for greater contribution.

Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness

|Thu, 12-06-2012 - 5:54am
This is the second book in the All Soul's Trilogy. This book picks up exactly where A Discovery of Witches left off. Honestly, this book was a drag to read. Aside from one chapter in the middle and the ending of the book everything else was a LONG waste of time. This author really needs to cut down from over 11 thousand locations on the Kindle to half that.
Now, picking up from A Discovery of Witches' cliffhanger ending, Shadow of Night plunges Diana and Matthew into Elizabethan London, a world of spies, subterfuge, and a coterie of Matthew's old friends, the mysterious School of Night that includes Christopher Marlowe and Walter Raleigh. Here, Diana must locate a witch to tutor her in magic, Matthew is forced to confront a past he thought he had put to rest, and the mystery of Ashmole 782 deepens.

If you live in South Florida long enough, the idea of a cruise loses its luster with the appearance of every sunburned, hair-braided tourist clutching a cardboard box of souvenir rum. It's OK, says Jason Beukema, founder of the Miami Beach-based Whet Travel agency. "I've been on 35 cruises, and it's always the same. It's all families and old people, so the programming is always geared towards them."
So five years ago, Beukema founded an ocean excursion with a sexier flair: the Groove Cruise, which departs Miami January 29 and returns February 1. In recent years, music-themed cruises have grown increasingly popular (the Jam Cruise, for example, just set sail from Fort Lauderdale). The Groove Cruise, though, sets itself apart even from them. It's the original and largest-scale cruise focusing solely on dance music. Think a floating Miami-style club at sea — but without the door messes, obnoxious foreign bouncers, bad service, and general BS.
"When you go to a club on South Beach, you worry how you're going to get in; then your friends get split up or want to go somewhere else," Beukema says. "With this, everything is set up; there's no hassle, no crap. You don't have to worry about how you're going to get there, where you're going to eat, where your friends are."

But for real club music aficionados, what makes this a worthy entry on the party calendar between NYE and WMC are the big-name DJs aboard. The Opium Group is Whet Travel's partner in the project, so the spinners are favorites on the regular Opium Group club circuit: Sydney Blu, Louis Dee, Serge Devant, and Mind Control, among others. And there are the headliners: the master of hard-house marathons, Boris, and superstar Italian purveyor of electrohouse satisfaction, Benny Benassi. When they're not actively playing, Beukema promises, as on other music cruises, the artists will be hanging out and partying with the fans.
"The cool thing is this is the only event in dance music where there's artist-fan interaction," he says. "The artists really like it, and they understand that without their fans, they're nothing. And you're never going to get close to Boris when he plays at Space or wherever."

Liberty ends HPU men's soccer season
The High Point University men's soccer team fell to No. 7 Liberty 1-0 in the quarterfinals of the 2013 Big South Championship on Tuesday night at Vert Stadium.
HPU outshot the Flames 17-10 in the match.
"Every single guy put his heart into this game tonight so I can't be upset with anyone," HPU head coach Dustin Fonder said. "I think our effort level was excellent but we lacked quality at times. You aren't always going to have quality but the one thing you can control is effort. This team played tonight with great effort and enthusiasm. I just wish we could have found a goal in the end."
The Panthers nearly scored in the third minute of action when redshirt-junior Sonny Mukungu's header off a corner kick was stopped with a diving save by LU keeper Scott Sutarik. Redshirt-freshman Pat Shelton got his foot on the rebound but could not direct the shot around the prone Sutarik.
Liberty went ahead in the 21st minute when Sachem Wilson scored his 10th goal of the season to put the Flames up, 1-0. Jamie Foxwell hit a hard shot on goal forcing a save by HPU keeper Kody Palmer. The rebound fell to the feet of Wilson and the forward hit a hard shot past Palmer for the goal.
Senior Adam Sewell led High Point with five shots and two shots on goal.
Palmer made three saves for High Point. Sutarik finished with seven saves to earn his fourth win of the season.
HPU finishes the season 8-8-3. Liberty improves to 10-8-0 and advances to Friday's Big South semifinals to face No. 3-seed Longwood.

Following the United States' stunning 2-0 win over Mexico for the fourth-straight time at Crew Stadium, Sports Ilustrated's Grant Wahl (as he typically does) broke Earth-shattering news via Twitter:
Waiting on the field in Columbus for the Honduras-Panama finish (2-1 HON now). Frankie Hejduk is break-dancing for the fans.
— Grant Wahl (@GrantWahl) September 11, 2013
Soon after Wahl's tweet, the above video was posted to YouTube by user RyanRosenblatt. And for that, we are forever grateful.
Tyson Wahl's first season with the Crew has been much like his first season as a pro with the Kansas City Wizards back in 2006.
Just as in his rookie season, Wahl's club was sold to new owners by the Hunt Sports Group midseason. Eerily, Brian Bliss has once again taken over a Interim Head Coach of Wahl's team in the middle of the season as he did in Kansas City in 2006.
With the change, Wahl has noticed a new energy in training the past two days.
"I think in general, whenever there is a coaching change, you have an increased level of intensity," the veteran defender said. "Everyone is fighting for new opportunities, believed opportunities. There is definitely a spike in effort and enthusiasm. I think it's something to capitalize on."
Given his prior experience with Bliss, Wahl feels the coaching change is good for the team's psyche.
"Blissy brings a lot of clarity and intensity. Overall, he brings a good mentality to the team," he said.
Wahl is in competition to return to the starting lineup in Bliss' first match as Interim Head Coach on Wednesday against the Houston Dynamo (7:30 p.m. ET / FOX Sports Ohio).
Fresh off his first start in six matches, winger Ben Speas will not be in action on Saturday night when the Crew welcomes Seattle Sounders FC to Columbus. Instead, the 22-year-old will be in his hometown of Stow, Ohio, preparing to get married on Sunday.
"I'm excited to get married, obviously," Speas said Friday. "It's unfortunate that I miss the game, but best of luck to my teammates against Seattle. I'm sure we'll compete and hopefully bring home three points."
Speas will be back in Columbus in time for Wednesday's match against the Houston Dynamo, as he plans on taking a honeymoon in December.
When asked where he was planning on spending vacation with his new wife after the season ends, Speas simply responded, "Somewhere with a beach."
Andy Gruenebaum, Chad Barson and Dominic Oduro joined 97.1 The Fan's Jonathan "T-Bone" Smith at Fourth Street Bar on Thursday night for Celebrity Bartending. The always-competitive Gruenebaum made the most tips on the evening, using signed apparel to convince patrons to fill his bucket with cash. All tips from the event went to the Crew Soccer Foundation, serving under-served youth in Central Ohio.
Before the Crew hosts Seattle Sounders FC in the only meeting between the two sides in 2013 on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET / FOX Sports Ohio), let's look back at last year's clash in Seattle.
Having never beaten the Sounders, the Crew silenced the 38,000-plus fans at CenturyLink field following Justin Meram's first-half diving header to give the Black & Gold an early advantage. Andy Gruenebaum and the Crew backline fended off an onslaught of attempts from the Seattle attack before Emilio Rentería added some insurance in the 76th minute to secure the victory with a looping shot from outside the box to beat 'keeper Bryan Meredith. Rentería's stunning strike wouldn't be needed, however, as Gruenebaum made six saves to lift the Crew to its first victory over former coach Sigi Schmid.
After netting a brace for the second straight match, Crew Captain Federico Higuaín was named to MLSSoccer.com's Team of the Week for Week 25. With four goals over the last two matches, the Argentine is now tied with Dominic Oduro for the team-scoring lead with nine tallies in 2013. In 37 matches since joining the Crew in August 2012, Higuaín has scored 14 goals and registered 13 assists while donning the Black & Gold.
On the heels of Saturday's Trillium Cup win over Toronto FC, the Crew now prepares for a tough task in facing Supporters' Shield leader Real Salt Lake on the road. Before the Black & Gold take on Real for the first and only time this year, here is a look back at the clubs' only meeting last season.
Delayed two hours after severe thunderstorms ravaged Central Ohio the night before, the Crew came out firing against the Western Conference leaders from the opening whistle as Tony Tchani and Eddie Gaven scored first-half goals to lift the home team to victory. Andy Gruenebaum recorded one of his career-high eight shutouts, making three saves on the evening before the largest crowd of the season at Crew Stadium. Danny O'Rourke returned to the lineup after missing four matches to patrol the midfield in the win for the Black & Gold.
The Crew hosts Toronto FC in the third -- and deciding -- match of the 2013 Trillium Cup presented by Scotts on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET / TICKETS). Before the Black & Gold welcome their rival to the North, here is a look back at the meeting in Toronto back on July 27.
With a chance to clinch the Trillium Cup, the Crew gained an early lead from Dominic Oduro's strike from outside the box in the 17th minute. That score would hold for most of the match, but late goals from Jonathan Osorio and Andrew Wiedeman would earn Toronto FC its first win on home soil over the Black & Gold. The Reds' 2-1 victory makes Saturday's game all the more important as the Crew aims to retain the Trillium Cup.
Crew Captain Federico Higuaín and veteran defender Chad Marshall were named to MLSSoccer.com's Team of the Week for their roles in the Black & Gold's 2-0 victory against the New York Red Bulls. Higuaín scored both goals in the match, while Marshall anchored the Crew backline to the shutout. The Black & Gold joined the Philadelphia Union and Sporting Kansas City as the only clubs with multiple players on the Team of the Week.
To little surprise, Federico Higuaín's wonderful chip of New York Red Bulls' goalkeeper Luis Robles is nominated for Week 24 AT&T Goal of the Week honors. Higuaín is up against Vancouver Whitecaps FC's Camilo, Montreal Impact midfielder Felipe Martins, Sporting KC winger Kei Kamara and the LA Galaxy's Landon Donovan.

Martinez: Lukaku could be best in the world
Everton may have smashed their transfer record to sign striker Romelu Lukaku but manager Roberto Martinez insists the fee is irrelevant if the player fulfils his potential.
– Everton manager Roberto Martinez
Rom is vitally important but his transfer fee will not count for anything in terms of him developing and having an important role in the side.
This dressing room has got a special feeling and it is not about how much you pay for players to come in, it is about selecting the players to be in there.
We really needed Rom at the club and that is where the chairman (Bill Kenwright) and the board have been exceptional and I do think it is a key moment at our club.
I am looking at that number nine position - and I am probably biased - but he is potentially the best choice in world football.

Banner Corporation Reports Net Income Of $5.1 Million In Fourth Quarter; 2011 Net Income Highlighted By Improved Credit Quality And Strong Revenue Generation
Deposit costs decreased by 11 basis points compared to the preceding quarter and 44 basis points compared to the fourth quarter a year earlier. Funding costs for the fourth quarter of 2011 decreased 10 basis points compared to the previous quarter and 41 basis points from the fourth quarter a year ago. Asset yields decreased 13 basis points compared to the prior quarter and decreased 14 basis points from the fourth quarter a year ago. Loan yields remained unchanged from the preceding quarter and decreased 14 basis points from the fourth quarter a year ago. Nonaccruing loans reduced the margin by approximately 14 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to approximately 21 basis points in the preceding quarter and approximately 33 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2010.
"The continued growth in core deposits and reduced drag from non-performing assets over the past year have led to a solid increase in our revenues from core operations compared to a year earlier," said Grescovich. Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, was $41.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $41.7 million in the preceding quarter and $40.8 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. For the year 2011, net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, increased 4% to $164.6 million, compared to $157.8 million for 2010. Revenues from core operations* (net interest income before the provision for loan losses plus total other operating income excluding fair value and other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) adjustments) was $50.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $50.1 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $49.0 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. For the year, revenues from core operations increased 4% to $196.2 million, compared to $189.4 million a year earlier.

"I am very happy with the quality and delivery of these holiday cards. Everyone loved them. Thank you also for making them affordable to all."
"Unlike another review, I loved these cards and thought they were of great quality. The design matched the rustic scenery of our photo and the ability to put a photo on the back (when there's only one on the front) meant we could put more love into the card. Great product!"
"This was a fun card for us. We used photos of the kids, pets, selves, Winter and Summer shots to showcase what we did all year as a family. I really appreciated the card stock as last years holiday card (ordered elsewhere) was much more of a photograph in weight and feel than this card. Very happy to be back @ TinyPrints this year. Exceeded my expectations."
"Ordering online was so easy and fast. I spoke with customer service and that was unbelievably plesant, informative and the solution actually worked. My Card was delivered faster than anticipated and was gorgeous!! I was able to post all my cards from bermuda where I live and everyone received before Christmas. IRecommend the company and will order again."
"My Christmas cards were perfect! I had a problem during the checkout proces ( online code not recognized ). I contacted customer service and they took care of it right away. They super rushed my order just for the inconvenience. Love Tiny Prints and I will continue to celebrate all of my special events with them!"
