East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - Kevin Durant poured in 40 points to lead Oklahoma City in a 105-89 rout of the hapless New Jersey Nets.
Durant has now scored 30 or more points in four straight contests, helping to guide the Thunder to their first three-game winning streak of the season.
Oklahoma City has won four of the last six games overall and got 19 points from Nenad Krstic. Russell Westbrook recorded 16 points and 10 assists and Nick Collison added 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Yi Jianlian tied a career high with 29 points on 11-of-20 shooting for New Jersey, which saw its latest losing streak reach 10 games.
The NBA's worst team fell to 2-29 on the season and 0-4 on a seven-game homestand. The Nets have only one win in 13 tries at home this season.
"Durant's a superstar. He can win a game all by himself," said Nets coach Kiki Vandeweghe. "He reminds me of George Gervin when I was playing, just a very, very difficult cover."
Courtney Lee scored 17 points and Trenton Hassell 14. Devin Harris was just 3- of-8 from the field for 11 points but did record a game-high 11 assists.
The Thunder got out to a 32-27 lead at the close of the first quarter but New Jersey used an 11-2 spurt early in the second to go in front 38-36 on a three- point play by Hassell.
The lead continued to trade hands approaching halftime with back-to-back buckets by Durant allowing Oklahoma City a 61-55 advantage at the break.
Durant nailed a jump shot four minutes into the second half to keep the Thunder in front by seven but the Nets came back with nine consecutive points and grabbed a 72-70 lead on Lee's three-ball.
However, New Jersey got only a pair of buckets from Yi in the last 5 1/2 minutes of the frame and Oklahoma City carried an 84-76 edge into the final 12 minutes.
After Lee got to the hoop for two to open the fourth, the Thunder ripped off 10 consecutive points to take a healthy 94-78 lead midway through the final stanza.
"We have to play well to win nay game in this league. No matter who you play, you have to still play well and tonight we had players step up in the second half which was huge for us," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks.
The Nets would never seriously challenge the lead from there.

Junior heavy oil producer BlackPearl Resources Inc. says it will expand its Mooney enhanced oil recovery project in north central Alberta next year to take advantage of lower royalty rates implemented by the province over the summer. The Calgary-based company said it expects current royalties of about 22 per cent on its Phase 2 conventional Mooney production to drop to five per cent and remain there for eight to 10 years as it improves oil recovery with an ASP flood. Alberta Energy said in July the new EOR royalty program is more "streamlined" than the previous regime but is expected to be revenue-neutral.
Calgary is on the world radar as one of the globe's top energy centres and that has translated into high downtown office rents as the oilpatch dominates the city's core commercial real estate market. A new CBRE Limited report, Energy Sector Trends, Global Energy Hubs, reveals that Calgary is listed as one of the top cities globally, and highest in North America, for prime office rents for major energy centres, based on U.S. dollars per square foot in the second quarter of this year.
The U.S. Senate has rejected a proposal to fast-track the approval of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline.Pipeline supporters needed 60 votes to win approval for the bill,but it went down to defeat by a margin of 59-41.
The revival of the U.S. economy and a lower Canadian dollar will help propel oil export volumes in 2015, offsetting the impact on exports of sharply lower oil prices, says a new report. In its Global Export Forecast report, Export Development Canada said other export industries are helping to shore up 2015 growth as exports of industrial machinery are […]
BANFF — Slumping oil prices have the Tory government looking for new sources of cash — including possible toll roads — as it heads into a new session of the legislature Monday. At an upbeat Progressive Conservative annual general meeting this weekend, Premier Jim Prentice struck a rare sombre note as he warned that oil prices that have slid under $75 […]
New Jersey Governor and potential U.S. presidential candidate Chris Christie will be coming to town on a mission to increase energy ties with Canada.
Imperial Oil has halted production at its Kearl oilsands mine for "several weeks" due to mechanical issues that caused vibrations in the ore crusher unit at the 18-month-old project that has experienced construction delays and cost overruns. Imperial said it produced 92,000 barrels a day of oil at Kearl aside from a two-week maintenance shutdown in September — about 85 per cent of its design capacity — before suspending production at the sprawling facility 70 kilometres north of Fort McMurray in a move it described as a "precautionary measure."
CALGARY — BlackPearl Resources Inc. is selling shares and has increased its lending facility to get its delayed Onion Lake thermal heavy oil project in Saskatchewan back on track. In a news release Tuesday, the company said it will sell 26.5 million shares to a syndicate of underwriters at $2.65 per share for proceeds of $70 million. An overallotment option of about four million shares could take the proceeds to $80 million and it will also sell 3.8 million shares via private placement for another $10 million.

If you want to become a chief executive in the oilpatch, taking post-secondary education at the University of Calgary is a good way of getting there. At least that's what a research study suggests by Dallas-based Pearson Partners International, a retained executive search firm.
CALGARY - Real domestic product growth in Alberta surpassed the national average in 2013 for the fourth consecutive year, according to Statistics Canada. The federal agency reported Wednesday that Alberta's real GDP advanced 3.8 per cent last year after increasing 4.5 per cent in 2012.
Acquisitive intermediate Whitecap Resources Inc. set a 2015 capital budget of $360 million on Tuesday as it reported third-quarter record production. The company said in a news release it intends to fully fund its exploration and development program through internal cash flow. At a forecasted average West Texas Intermediate oil price of $85 US per barrel and Alberta AECO natural gas price of $3.80 per gigajoule next year, it would deliver a 12-per-cent increase in production per share and an 11-per-cent increase to cash flow per share while paying its dividend.
CALGARY — Huge writedowns thanks to an asset review prompted by low commodity prices turned an adjusted earnings gain into a net income loss in the third quarter for Savanna Energy Services Corp. The Calgary-based driller reported a net loss of $24 million or 27 cents per share in the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with a net profit of $6.7 million or eight cents per share in the same period of 2013.

CALGARY — Prospective LNG exporter AltaGas Ltd. of Calgary said Monday it plans to double its asset base from $7.5 billion to $15 billion by 2019. At an investor day webcast from Toronto, executives said AltaGas plans to expand its utility and power operations but most of the growth will be in its ability to handle and export western Canadian natural gas from prolific shale plays in northeastern B.C. and northwestern Alberta.
CALGARY — The Alberta government has officially signed off on a 105,000-barrel-per-day thermal oilsands project proposed by Devon Energy Corp. and BP PLC. The province gave order-in-council approval of the project in northeastern Alberta on Thursday, about two and a half years after Devon made application to the predecessor of the Alberta Energy Regulator.
CALGARY — A $2.8-billion bet on the Texas Eagle Ford paid off for Baytex Energy Corp. with third-quarter oil and gas production announced Thursday that handily beat analyst expectations. In the first full quarter since its June takeover of Aurora Oil & Gas Ltd. for $1.9 billion in cash plus assumed debt of $900 million, Baytex announced output of 94,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day (85 per cent oil and liquids).
CALGARY — Clouds generated by sinking commodity prices are darkening future expectations for energy companies as they continue to release third-quarter results that are generally meeting expectations. On Tuesday, Calgary investment bank FirstEnergy Capital released a new commodity price forecast that prompted severe cuts to 12-month target prices across a wide swath of its energy company coverage universe.
CALGARY - The resource-rich provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta are forecast to lead salary gains across Canada next year. The Conference Board of Canada's Compensation Planning Outlook 2015, released on Thursday, said Saskatchewan and Alberta employers will lead the nation with projected average increases of 3.6 per cent and 3.5 per cent respectively.
CALGARY - Alberta continues to lead the country when it comes to wages. A report released Thursday by Statistics Canada indicates Alberta is the top province when it comes to average weekly earnings of non-farm payroll employees at $1,165 in August. That is up 0.8 per cent from the previous month and by 5.1 per cent from a year ago.

Double-check Your Device is Up to Date for Delta's New In-Flight Entertainment
This month, Delta launched free in-flight entertainment on all its routes, following in the footsteps of Southwest Airlines and becoming the first of the "big three" to offer it.
On aircraft with televisions in the seatbacks, the system is pretty self explanatory. But on older planes where there are no personal entertainment systems, the content will need to be accessed through your own device, such as a laptop, iPad, or Tablet. If you're using an older computer or operating system, you'll need to update it in order to stream the database of movies and television shows.

August Starts Free In-Flight Entertainment on All Delta Routes
Taking a page out of Southwest's playbook, Delta has announced that it will begin offering free in-flight entertainment to all passengers in all classes on all its domestic and international flights longer than 1.5 hours beginning this Friday, August 1st.
On newer planes, the entertainment initiative, known as "Delta Studio" and including movies, TV shows, music, and videogames, will come through the seat-back televisions. On planes without seat-back systems, the content will stream for free via in-flight Wifi on passengers' laptops and tablets.

Delta Decides That Flying Over Warzones is Definitely Not Happening
When Delta yesterday announced their decision to stop flights to Tel Aviv, Israel "until further notice," they stood alone.
Within the next two hours, that move was echoed by United and US Airways, and eventually the Federal Aviation Administration themselves, who set forth a 24-hour ban on US airline flights to Israel, a ban which was extended today for a further 24 hours.
Richard Anderson, CEO of Delta, stood in front of the CNBC cameras this morning to explain their early and precedent-setting action, which goes beyond the single incident of the rocket attack nearby Ben Gurion International Airport to address danger due to "the potentially hazardous situation created by the armed conflict in Israel and Gaza."

Breaking: Airlines Cancel Israel Flights 'Until Further Notice'
Update: 12:30pm EST, July 23: Although yesterday's FAA ban on flights to Israel was originally only for 24 hours, it has been extended to last another 24 at the least. This only applies to US airlines, so flights to Israel on El Al out of JFK are still operating normally.
Update: 1pm EST: FAA has issued a notice (NOTAM) prohibiting US airlines from flying to or from Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Int�l Airport for up to 24 hours.
Update: 12pm EST: US Airways, United and American Airlines now join Delta in temporarily suspending Tel Aviv flights.
At approximately 11am EST today, Delta updated their Israel travel adivsory from a warning that flights may be disrupted, to the fact that their flights from New York-JFK to Tel Aviv will not be operating at all "until further notice."
The stoppage is a temporary hiatus necessitated by escalating violence in Israel; the final straw comes with the report of a rocket attack in the vicinity of Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport. Naturally the danger calls to mind last week's Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 tragedy, caused by a ground-to-air missile. While airlines continue to divert their flight paths clear of Ukrainian air space, there are other war zones to consider.

Happy Birthday, Aviation: Many Airlines Celebrating Major Anniversaries in 2014
Ever heard of the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line? We're guessing probably not, but the Smithsonian sure has; the seaplane carrier is classified as the world's first airline, which inaugurated commercial air service in 1914 when it took off with one paying passenger. It may have been a short journey (only 23 minutes!), but the Airboat Line's impact extends to today as commercial aviation has become a $2.2 trillion dollar industry, employing over 57 million people.
In 2014, the world celebrates 100 years of commercial air travel, but that's not all.
In this last century, airlines and airplanes have evolved into a fact of everyday life for travelers, and some of the pioneering companies will mark milestones this year. Here's who to wish "happy anniversary":

There's a Cat in This Cockpit
Very important cat news! Venus, the two-tone face cat and social media darling flew to the Big Apple for some TV appearances this week, including a cute cameo on Good Morning America.
Venus, who was adopted off a dairy farm where she was living as a feral stray, turned 5 this year. Her owner uses Venus' exposure on social media to promote the adoption of pets who need good homes. We became aware of her while idly browsing Instagram's #catsofinstagram hashtag one day over a year ago, and have followed this chimera cutie's adventures since.
Venus' travels aren't frequent, but she did post the photo above of her and her owner enjoying a photo op in the cockpit of a Delta plane today.

Delta Doesn't Disappoint with Their Funniest Safety Video Yet
Delta really wants your attention, please. Their newest in-flight safety video seeks to grab and hold your eyeballs through the important informational aspects of the flight, while giving your imagination enough candy to delight.
They've been changing it up so often recently that it's almost as if Delta is a safety video production company with a flying habit, versus the other way around. Delta's 1980s-theme safety video hasn't even been in use for six months yet, and the airline is promising yet another video to follow next week.

Delta's Revamped History Museum Gets More Aircraft, More Awesome
Mark the date on your iCal: the Delta Flight Museum at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport reopens after major renovations on June 17. The buildings and Delta's historic 1940s maintenance hangars have been updated with fresh exhibits, new displays and cases, improved public spaces, an expanded store, and three more aircraft for the collection.
Furthermore, the museum boasts the US' only full-motion, official flight simulator open to the public (a 737-200). Actual aircraft on display include a DC-3, Waco 125 bi-plane (last in existence), Travel Air 6B Sedan, Stinson SR-8E Reliant, an L-1011 prototype section, and the Boeing 767 "Spirit of Delta," which was the airline's first 767 delivered after Delta's own employees banded together in the 1980s' tough times to raise money and fund the purchase.
Thanks to the renovation, three more aircraft are coming to join the fun: a DC-9, a Huff-Daland Duster, and a Boeing 757-200.

New Routes Arrive and Depart from Delta, JetBlue, and Korean
Sometimes it�s hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we�ve complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.
· Delta:
Planes are people are heading south of the border later this year, as Delta is getting ready to launch some new nonstop flights to Mexico. The plan is to link Los Angeles with Mazatlan just in time for Santa's big day, as things are scheduled to hit the skies on December 20. Boeing 737-800s will be responsible for the flying fun each and every day of the week. Things seem to be a seasonal flight at first, but it does sound like Delta will keep things flying if the demand is there. If Los Angeles isn�t really convenient to where you call home�no problem�Delta also does the nonstop thing to Mazatlan from Minneapolis-St. Paul.
· JetBlue:
It�s never too early to start planning your trip home for the holidays, and thankfully JetBlue is already doing exactly that. They have a new nonstop option scheduled to start up on November 12, as they�ll be sending their blue planes and blue chips between Orlando and Salt Lake City. JetBlue does plenty of takeoffs and landings from Orlando, and this flight to Utah is destination number 24 departing from the theme park capital of the world. To celebrate the new flights JetBlue is even offering up one-way fares for as low as $89 on certain days between November 12 and December 16, but just note that you need to book by May 15 to take advantage of the offer.

The Beverage Selection Gets an Upgrade with New Microbrews on Three Airlines
Treat yourself during your next flight, as airlines are adding better beers and beverages suitable for an in-flight toast. Here�s a few of the carriers doing the microbrew thing at 35,000-feet, and their newest additions to the up in the air menu:
Delta & SweetWater Brewing Company
No offense to the Budweiser and Coors Light crew, but there�s better things brewing in Delta�s beverage cart. Last month the carrier introduced a little local flavor to their in-flight menu, as they�re offering up something from Atlanta�s SweetWater Brewing Company. Thanks to some new canning techniques sky-high distribution is now available, and you can enjoy some 420 Extra Pale Ale on select Delta flights. These will set you back $6, but for now are limited to flights between Atlanta and New York-LaGuardia.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency.

BP Plc's $7.1 billion deal to sell Argentine crude producer Pan American
Energy LLC is at risk of collapse, jeopardizing China's biggest energy
acquisition this year, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
BP's agreement to sell its 60 percent stake to partner Bridas Corp., a
company owned by Chinese oil producer Cnooc Ltd. and Argentina's
billionaire Bulgheroni family, has hit opposition from politicians and may
not be completed when the accord expires in November, the person said,
declining to be identified as the details are private.
The London-based company is prepared to let the deal lapse and continue as
a partner in the oil production venture, he said. Still, no final decision
has been made and the transaction could yet be completed.
BP fell 0.8 percent to 388.5 pence in London trading yesterday.
"Deals of this scale take time to finalize with competition authorities,"
London-based BP spokesman Robert Wine said in an e-mail. "We are working
with the other shareholders in PAE to secure competition approvals and
complete the deal. We can confirm the deal has not yet closed as Argentine
competition approvals remain outstanding, but we remain optimistic that
these approvals will be granted in due course."
An official at Pan American, which speaks on behalf of Bridas, said he
couldn't comment on shareholder issues.
"We're still waiting for the Argentine government and regulatory
approvals," Jiang Yongzhi, Beijing-based spokesman for Cnooc, said in an
e-mail. "We will keep the market well informed of the progress."
Spill Disposals
BP has agreed to more than $25 billion in asset sales since pledging to
divest up to $30 billion of fields after the Gulf of Mexico spill last
year to shore up its balance sheet. The company had about $20 billion in
cash at the end of the second quarter. It has turned a profit in every
period since the record $17 billion loss in the second quarter of 2010,
bolstered by a 40 percent gain in Brent crude prices.
Chinese oil producers including Cnooc and China Petrochemical Corp. are
buying assets in Latin America to feed surging demand as other producers
sell stakes to help fund the development costs. Last year, Sinopec Group,
as China Petrochemical is known, paid $7.11 billion for 40 percent of
Repsol YPF SA's Brazilian unit.
Bridas agreed in November to buy from BP the 60 percent in Pan American it
doesn't already own. The deal, which was due to complete by June 30, was
put on hold until after Argentina votes in a presidential election next
month, Yang Hua, chief executive officer of Beijing-based Cnooc, said Aug.
Horacio Mizrahi, the spokesman for the Argentine Planning Ministry, which
oversees the energy industry, could not be reached on his mobile phone and
did not return a message seeking comment left at his office.

That is exactly how much stuff I have avoided putting in my mouth over the last 7 months, almost 3 months worth of food for a normal person. Because otherwise I would be the same weight I was last May, or I would have eaten more calories than that and be bigger! I'm not giving much credit to exercise because, honestly, I haven't done that much. I am a numbers person, and when I look at it like this, it's pretty amazing. I'm proud of myself!

November 1, 2004
A Tempe man has taken the unusual step of pleading guilty as charged rather than accepting a plea bargain in a drunken driving crash that killed a mother and daughter and critically injured a father and son.
Next up for Christopher Linton, 27, will be a Dec. 10 sentencing hearing where a judge will determine whether he deserves leniency or a long prison sentence.
Linton pleaded guilty Oct. 15 to two counts of manslaughter and one count each of aggravated assault and endangerment, crimes that carry a combined penalty of seven to 60 years in prison.
Linton's attorney, A. Melvin McDonald, said Linton passed on a plea offer they found to be unreasonable, but he also didn't want to go to trial.
"The feeling is there is a very, very high probability that if he took it to trial he would be convicted, and he doesn't want to go through it, doesn't want to put the family of the victims through it, and so he said, 'I did it,' " McDonald said.
Wendy Ford, 37, died instantly in the crash, which also left her husband, Thomas, in critical condition and their 8-year-old son with a concussion. Their daughter, Haley, 10, spent 20 days in a coma before she died.
According to court records, Linton was at almost three times the legal limit for intoxication when he ran a red light at Miller and Pinnacle Peak roads in Scottsdale.
He smashed into the Fords' van at 57 to 60 mph.
McDonald said Linton had just completed his last final examination of his senior year at Arizona State University when the crash occurred.
"I've been doing this for 35 years, and this is one of the most heartbreaking cases I've ever dealt with," McDonald said.
"This is the case that should be the poster-child case for DUI, where people don't realize the wonderful people who make this mistake of judgment can absolutely devastate their lives and other lives," he said.
McDonald said he is going to seek leniency for Linton, an only child who is a "good kid who made a horrific mistake."
Thomas Ford could not be reached for comment.

.- The Diocese of Nashville welcomed their new pastoral leader Feb. 27 with the Episcopal ordination of Bishop David Choby.
The ordination, held at the Cathedral of the Incarnation, was attended by hundreds of faithful and well-wishers who gathered to see one of their native sons elevated to the episcopate. He is only the second priest of the Diocese of Nashville to be named bishop; the others have all come from outside the diocese.
The much-loved pastor had served for 17 years at St. John Vianney Parish in Gallatin, Tenn.
Archbishop Thomas Kelly of Louisville was the main celebrant. Archbishop Pietro Sambi, the recently named apostolic nuncio in the United States, also attended as the Pope's representative. About 30 bishops participated.
Pope Benedict appointed the 58-year-old Nashville native Dec. 20 to succeed Bishop Edward Kmiec, who was assigned the new pastoral charge of Buffalo, N.Y.
Prior to his ordination, hundreds of his parishioners at St. John Vianney held a farewell party for him at the local Catholic elementary school, which was built during his time at the parish.
The people applauded when he entered in his Episcopal garb and waited patiently for their turn to greet him and shake his hand. Parishioners, both young and old, left notes for their pastor, expressing their love for him and wishing him well. One young girl said she thought he would make "a great pope some day."
Bishop Choby was ordained a priest in 1974 and holds a canon law degree. He served in several parishes and the diocesan tribunal. He was on the faculty of the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio, (1984-89) and currently serves on the seminary's board.
The Diocese of Nashville has 75,000 Catholics in 51 parishes and three missions.

Top Critic Reviews
Fresh: You will find as warm and delightful a musical picture as has hit the screen in years, a corking good entertainment and as affectionate, if not as accurate, a film biography as has ever -- yes, ever -- been made.
- Bosley Crowther, New York Times, Tuesday, May 20, 2003
Audience Reviews
This is a great musical. I love the old style musicals where the song and acting are separate. Sure, the song can tell a story, but this shows that the cast can dramatically act as well. It was a well done film all around with great music, acting, writing and inspiration. I had a lot of fun watching this one and if you like the old black and white films, this is one to watch.
- FireStormStudios, Thursday, March 31, 2011
"My mother thanks you. My father thanks you. My sister thanks you. And I thank you." An obvious propaganda film for the country during WWII, the elaborate and patriotic story of George M. Cohan was illustrated with several big numbers, memorable songs, and the quite surprising dancing of James Cagney, who is expressively known for his gangster pictures. A nice musical, and fluff filled biopic.

IBM Watson At Your Service: New Watson Breakthrough Transforms How Brands Engage Today's Connected Consumers
With the latest IBM Watson debut, IBM is enabling clients to better respond to market shifts in real-time, automate marketing, and transform the way they service their clients, while improving their global brand presence.
"IBM is taking Watson to the masses in ways that positively impact people's lives, from helping doctors improve patient care to helping businesses put consumers first, in an increasingly mobile world," said Manoj Saxena, General Manager, IBM Watson Solutions. "Customer engagement is a natural fit for Watson, which can instantly create a strong bond between who customers are as individuals, and what types of information will help them reach their goals. The end product: users will come away feeling known as people, empowered as consumers, and engaged as satisfied brand ambassadors who are willing to champion the business to friends and family." This is IBM Watson; How Can I Help You? For the first time, consumers will be able to tap into the power of IBM Watson for their everyday needs. The IBM Watson Engagement Advisor "Ask Watson" feature greets, and offers help to, customers via any channel, be it through a website chat window or a mobile push alert, saving consumers the hassle of performing searches, combing through websites and forums, or waiting endlessly for a response about the information they need. Calling upon IBM's Big Data Analytics technologies, IBM Watson retrieves data about customers to help ensure interactions are tailored to their needs, and search its corpus of stored information for the best solutions.Since its television debut, IBM Watson is smarter, faster and smaller -- having gained a 240 percent improvement in system performance, and a reduction in physical requirements by 75 percent. The cognitive computing system can now be run on a single Power 750 server using Linux, transitioning from its original size of a master bedroom to that of four pizza boxes. Businesses that use IBM Watson can have the solution up and running quickly using a cloud computing environment, or deploy the technology on-premise. IBM Watson transforms the customer service experience The state of today's customer engagement leaves much room for improvement. 270 billion customer service calls are handled annually, with roughly 50 percent unresolved, which for businesses means an increase in cost per escalated call by three times. In hindsight, 61 percent of those calls could have been resolved with better access to information. It is no surprise that Forrester's 2012 Customer Experience Index revealed only 37 percent of brands received good or excellent customer experience index scores, while 64 percent received a rating of "OK," "poor" or "very poor" from their customers.Making matters more urgent for brands is the imminent spike in Millennial consumers who are expanding their footprint in today's economy, using paychecks for insurance, bank accounts and telecom plans. Their expectations for brands: fast and personalized service on the go, via mobile device.The IBM Watson Engagement Advisor will also help brands manage their existing customer engagement functions, by reducing burdens faced by call and e-service centers that struggle to keep up with skyrocketing demand. The move of IBM Watson into customer engagement positions it within IBM's Smarter Commerce initiative, which provides a range of solutions and services to better connect more than 2,000 brands to their increasingly digital customers, accelerating business to the speed of life through intelligent automation.

I am researching the background of my Gr.Gr. Grandfather Peter Mawdsley who was born in Great Crosby near Liverpool Lancashire about 1764. He was a Ship's Captain early in life, apparently surviving an attack on his ship by Barbary pirates. Later he describes himself as a 'gentleman'. He was married first to Elizabeth, by whom he had at least one child. Later he married Mary ? Weir in 1824 and they had James, Emma, Peter, William, Mary-anne, Edward and Mary-Anne. James migrated to Aust. abt. 1855. Edward Emma and Mary-Anne migrated to Canada. After Mary died in 1838, Peter married Anne. He died in 1856 inSeacombe, Cheshire.

Plans for London's new £400 million King's Cross station have been revealed by McAslan and Partners. This development, together with the adjacent St Pancras station (the new International Eurostar terminus), will form a major new transport hub for London which will link the north and midlands of the UK to mainland Europe for the first time. The barrel roof of the 154 year old King's Cross terminus, originally built on the site of a former fever and smallpox hospital, will be retained to maintain the atmosphere. The station will carry 70,000 passengers per day and is due for completion by 2009.

Will Tidey - England face a new enemy in Bloemfontein
Published: 25 Jun 2010 - 08:17:49
England and Germany meetings have quickened the footballing heart of three generations in this country, and a fourth is set to be consumed on Sunday afternoon.
But when all the talk is of English glory in '66, German revenge in '70, penalty heartache in the 90s and that freakish 5-1 demolition job in Munich, it's easy to forget this incarnation of Germany is a very different animal.
Those expecting gung-ho physicality, snarling aggression and cynicism from our familiar foes will be disappointed - or perhaps not as the case may be.
Joachim Loew's crop are the youngest in 75 years, and their weapon of choice is free-flowing, ambitious attacking football with a heavy dose of flair. Germany, like it or not, are potentially the most exciting side in the tournament.
Most of this is by design, but there is a strong case for arguing former captain Michael Ballack's forced omission was a blessing in disguise.
Ballack, a lumbering understudy to his former self, would have started every game for Germany at the Finals and unquestionably diluted their exuberance. After all, a box-to-box midfield general who doesn't get from box to box anymore is not much use to anyone.
Taking on the Ballack mantle of German Roy of the Rovers is Mesut Ozil - the 21-year-old playmaker who perfectly encapsulates the spirit of this 2010 group, marrying technical brilliance with a fearlessness that has shackled players with far higher price tags at the Finals (Wayne Rooney comes to mind).
Ozil has been a relevation in South Africa and would be in most peoples' World XI based on the tournament so far.
Joining him would be Phillip Lahm, the German captain and arguably the best full-back in the world, and possibly Thomas Muller - whose dominant presence on the right flank sparked the 4-0 romp over Australia.
Then there's Bastian Schweinsteiger, Germany's swashbuckling midfielder and the closest thing in Lowe's squad to the Germany we used to know. Ruthless, aggressive and dominant, Schweinsteiger would find a place in any German side gone by.
But the overwhelming personality of the Germany England face on Sunday is not that presented by Schweinsteiger - it's the youthful confidence of Ozil and Muller; the studious confidence of Lahm and the relaxed sophistication of Loew.
If England are expecting to go to war, they're preparing for the wrong battle. This showdown, in contrast to England-Germany meetings gone by, will be a battle of footballing guile and technical proficiency.
To win, England must nullify the threat of Ozil and Muller, and they must press like they've never pressed before. If they do that, Fabio Capello's men might just find themselves in the ascendancy and cracks in the fabled German mentality may appear sooner than expected. Defeat to Serbia proved as much.
But if this super-confident German outfit get ahead early, England could be theirs for the taking.
A new chapter awaits. Let's just hope it doesn't culminate in penalties.

Interview with the Vampire (1994) Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
Interview with the Vampire is based on the famous Anne Rice vampire chronicles. I know many out there did not like the vampire film because it did not compare to the book, I liked it a lot. We had some great performances by Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and a young Kirsten Dunst.
I enjoyed the depth of the characters and did not care for the extended Lestat de Lioncourt (Tom Cruise) backstory that deserved a full length film instead of the Queen of the Damned chop story. Brad Pitt played a very heartfull Louis de Pointe du Lac that you could not help but feel for. Louis wanted death and instead chose immortality thus starting his tortured existence.
There is a great amount of wonders and utter sadness. These emotions really pull you into the film.
A vampire tells his epic life story: love, betrayal, loneliness, and hunger.

Businesses do not need full fibre broadband connections to make the most of the internet, it has been claimed.
Andrew Saunders, head of product management and marketing at Zen Internet, said relatively few companies have a genuine need for fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) technology at present.
He claimed that fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) connections - which are currently capable of delivering up to 80Mbps broadband speeds - are more than ample in most cases.
With FTTC broadband, a legacy copper connection exists between the street cabinet and businesses or household, as opposed to a fibre lead.
Mr Saunders said business customers are "led to believe" they must have fibre broadband delivered directly to their premises - but this is a fallacy.
"The needs of businesses can be met right now from existing FTTC options, and this is not being made clear," he stated.
The Zen director said more than half of all businesses and households across the UK can already take advantage of FTTC broadband.
He said this solution avoids disruption and guarantees high performance and reliability.
"Most organisations do not need the 330Mbps promised by FTTP, and will find 80Mbps more than enough," Mr Saunders added.

I purchased 4 sets, & I'm back to purchase 2 more sets. I hung 2 sets on a fence in the back yard. I hung 2 sets on the gutter above my patio & purchasing 2 more sets today to finish the total lenght on the gutter. I Love them, Beautiful in the Sunlight & white festive lighting @ night.
Beautiful product. High quality. Stays brightly lit throughout the night. Copper hooks included with product to hang are very nice as well.
Overstock sent my shipment to California ehen the order clearly said it was supposed to go to North Carolina. They never found the item and it couldn't be reordered. Was supposed to be a gift, and I had already told the recipient about it and they were very excited. Now, I don't have the item and, even though I received a refund, I look like an idiot. Don't think I'll order from Overstock again.
Winter in Seattle is not the best time to test a solar-powered product, but we did have a few days of sun when I received these lights and hung them in the yard. The very first evening they produced a brief, dim glow, and then nothing at all since then. It took a while to get them strung the way I wanted, so didn't really want the hassle of taking them down and returning. The glass ornaments look beautiful on their own, and I'm hoping that maybe the lights will start to work in the long, sunny days of summer.

After an official Academy screening of The Wolf of Wall Street over the weekend, Martin Scorsese found himself on the receiving end of some good old fashioned geriatric ire—pretty much the critical equivalent of "get off my lawn you damn kids!" Hope Holiday, a 75-year-old actor, posted on her Facebook page about an incident after the screening where an anonymous screenwriter shouted, "shame on you" and "disgusting" to Scorsese as he was exiting an elevator. Holiday apparently shared the sentiment writing, "same disgusting crap over and over again." Apparently the august viewers were not impressed by the depiction of sex and drugs in the film—you know, the fun stuff—a situation that doesn't bode well for Scorsese's Oscar chances considering the Academy's older makeup. They're cool with the entire cast of Departed getting holes blown in them, but when it comes to letting the good times roll, looks like the Olds get conservative real quick.
Whether you're a fan of Scorsese or not, or even a fan of the film, it's hard not to see that he is working with orgies in Wolf the way he has traditionally worked with violence in many of his classic films. The Scorsese M.O., one aped by scores of filmmakers after him, is to load his films with the darker aspects of human nature in order to illustrate the brokenness of his characters. Whether it's a gangster like Henry Hill or a dirty cop like Colin Sullivan, Scorsese saturates his color palette in order to make us viewers actually feel the moral degradation. So it's no surprise that he would overdo the sex and drugs in The Wolf of Wall Street. He's not some pervy old man, he's actually trying to show us how fractured and ugly these characters are, and in order to do so, it's often most effective to skew reality. What is shocking is that people are so outraged by a bit of T&A but not by violence. Of course, that's nothing new. One boob and it seems as if a film totters on an NC-17 rating, but a filmmaker can blow several people away before it even edges up into R territory. Just think of all the destruction and mayhem coming from your typical Marvel movie and you get the picture.
The real Wall Street, at least the darker corners of it, are certainly populated by mostly men who engage in all manner of debauchery. And it's a level of debauchery that makes us uncomfortable, because on the one hand we're repulsed by it, but on the other hand, though we hate to admit it even to ourselves, we're kind of jealous of it. Scorsese is a filmmaker who understands this split personality better than most, and he's not afraid to charge in and throw it in our face. This is what great artists do, they make us uncomfortable in our own skin. Dostoyevksy became one of the greatest writers of the 19th century doing exactly that. And while The Wolf of Wall Street hardly exists on the level of a Dostoyevsky novel, or even on the level of some of Scorsese's best films, after four decades of filmmaking it seems fair to give the man some elbowroom when it comes to chronicling the more prurient vices along the spectrum of American culture. And besides, there's a great little trick that these stuffy olds can try when they find themselves stuck watching a movie they don't like: just leave.

In this book, he goes more deeply into the ways of thinking that enabled him to survive imprisonment in a concentration camp and to find meaning in life in spite of all the odds. Here, he expands upon his groundbreaking ideas and searches for answers about life, death, faith and suffering. Believing that there is much more to our existence than meets the eye, he says: 'No one will be able to make us believe that man is a sublimated animal once we can show that within him there is a repressed angel.' In "Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning", Frankl explores our sometimes unconscious desire for inspiration or revelation. He explains how we can create meaning for ourselves and, ultimately, he reveals how life has more to offer us than we could ever imagine. Read Less

Case Study on Deployment of Open Source Software in Government Offices
The results of a survey that asked 955 organizations in the public sector from 13 EU countries about their affinity to Open Source software were recently released. At the same time, the survey investigated six Open Source development projects maintained by public authorities.
The European Commission commissioned the survey. Unisys and Merit (Maastricht Economic and social Research and training Institute on Innovation and Technology) collected the data in 2004, and completed the survey in April this year.
Almost 40 percent of the respondents viewed the support situation for Open Source software as problematic or too expensive. However, this opinion was voiced by people who were not users, or had no experience, of Open Source applications. In contrast to this Open Source software users said that support wasn't an issue. At the same time, the respondents said that cost savings were the motivating factor in just fifty percent of cases, although all respondents said that they have cut costs by deploying Open Source.
According to the survey, the biggest obstacle to launching government software projects was the lack of IT specialists. IT departments were the initiators of existing projects in five out six cases. The reason for this is that decision makers and staff working for authorities have a limited view of their own organizations, and they do not recognize the potential that interaction with citizens, software users and the software community holds for them Decision makers working for authorities must be made more aware of the advantages that Open Source software development hold for them, said the authors. The public sector could also project a positive image of government-maintained Open Source projects, they said.
The complete 44 page survey is available from the "Public Sector and Open Source" website. Besides the survey, a six page summary (PDF, 80 KB) comprising the first six pages of the longer document is also available. The website is directed at IT decision makers and planners, and strategists working in the public sector, its authors say.

Hmmm... it was nice... quite different from others, it has its own style therefore it's hard to say: "you did wrong there and there and there!" the flow seemed nice... and it's simple and short and interesting to read. And has this odd emotion in it, brought me back to my childhood... *sighs, daydreams* yea....
The only part I didn't think was that nice was this:
lol ^^ it's all ok 'till "and everything else"... that is just so odd... and "but dude" is also something that just didn't seem to fit in this poem. I know only one person who could put such words in a serious poem and still make it look good (that's sprout ) and it asks a lot of talent or a lot of "ease" to your life..You are nice, cute, smart, athletic, and everything else.
But I will be looking forward for more ^^ cheers!

It's clear that my colleagues love the G-wagen. I don't get it. However, even though I don't love it, I do find it to be a unique and interesting vehicle. It's quite a feat, in this day and age, to be able to build and sell what is essentially a 30-year-old SUV for more than $100,000. Kudos to Mercedes-Benz for pulling that off. Sure, the G-wagen has a modern powertrain--a new V-8 and a seven-speed automatic--but the rest of the vehicle looks and feels like it came from the previous decade - or maybe even the decade before that. The control layout is idiosyncratic at best, and the interior is a weird pastiche of modern conveniences and old-fashioned design. The cool thing about driving the G550 is that you don't see it coming and going, so it attracts lots of attention. And that modern V-8 means it gets you places in a hurry, despite its bricklike aerodynamics. If I had lots of money and a large vehicle fleet, the G-wagen would be an interesting addition to it, but if I were going to buy just one luxury SUV, I'd take a Range Rover over the G-wagen.

As the weather improves, a walking tour of some of Long Island City's smaller galleries may be just what the doctor ordered. So forget being cooped up inside all day, get out and investigate these free venues.
The Chocolate Factory, located at 5-49 49 Ave. in Long Island City, is featuring "I'm Nobody! Who Are You?" by Maya Ciarrocchi. The life-sized video portrait installation is named after an Emily Dickinson poem. It seeks to investigate personal identity and the relationship between viewer and actor, through large-scale silent videos. The show is open on Friday and Saturday from noon to 5 p.m.
After checking out the Chocolate Factory, stop and smell the flowers at the LIC Community Garden across the street. Tables and chairs make the picturesque nook perfect for a picnic.
If you are in the market to purchase art for your home, or just want to see some flowers on canvas, M55 Art at 44-02 23 St. has painter Alice Plusch's creations. Her floral work is perfect for hanging in any home. Or, if you are more adventurous, George Schulman's brightly colored abstract paintings may be your cup of tea.
The gallery is open Thursday through Saturday from noon to 6 p.m.
At nearby Space Womb — the place with the pink and black exterior at 22-48 Jackson Ave., pieces in the latest exhibit, "Humanism," are interesting as usual.
Shalom Neuman's brightly colored cartoonish sculptures are fun to look at. Made with maracas, children's toys and other random objects, and complete with googly eyes, they have a Pee Wee Herman aesthetic. Suncheol Kwun's abstract portraits are skilled, but appear sad when compared with Neuman's vibrant wall-mounted creations.
Eliot Lable's bloody paintings and sculptures — one of which features a guillotine, placed in the center of the gallery space, are disturbing. Though they are more tribal and primitive than realistic, perhaps reflecting the subject matter that drives him. On his website, he writes that he was inspired to learn about torture after visiting a Spanish museum featuring work on the subject. He now depicts both victims and perpetrators in his gruesome artwork.
Also at Space Womb are abstract paintings reminiscent of dust or grass by Sooyoung Kwak. Epoxy paintings by Jongwang Lee, in which he uses layering to achieve an abstract plastic look, and modernist sculptures by Chang Dawn Moon round out the show.
As usual, the work is seemingly unrelated, but it is so diverse that viewers are unlikely to be bored.
After visiting these spots, check out the graffiti-covered Five Pointz while you still can. The building which houses Space Womb may become condos in the future.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
When you're shooting with a camera that has a built-in flash, like a small point-and-shoot camera, the light from the flash can sometimes bounce off your subject's retina, causing a glowing red- eye effect like the one that you see here. Fortunately, the Expert edit workspace has a built-in Red Eye Removal Tool that you can use to try to reduce or eliminate this red eye effect. Before I apply the Red Eye Removal Tool, which I have selected here in the toolbar, I'm going to duplicate the photo layer, because this tool will directly impact the photo. I'll go over to the Layers panel, I'll right-click on the Background layer that contains the photo, and I'll choose Duplicate Layer, and then I'll click OK. So I'll be running this effect on the Background copy layer.
There are two ways to apply the Red Eye Removal Tool, either automatically or manually. I usually try the Auto Correct first to see if it gives me an effect that I want. To apply Red Eye Removal automatically, I'll go down to the options for the Red Eye Removal Tool and I'll click the Auto Correct button. Now in this case Auto Correct has actually reduced the red eye effect in both of her eyes. Her eyes don't look totally natural, but it's better than the red glow. To be honest, Auto Correct doesn't always work this well on all photos with red eye, so I can show you how to apply the Red Eye Removal Tool manually.
I'll press Ctrl+Z, that's Command+Z on Mac, to Undo. This time, because I know that the tool is going to make her eyes look very dark, I'm going to go down and work with the Darken slider in the Red Eye Removal options. I'll drag the Darken slider way over to left to see if I can get less of an extreme effect in her eyes. There's also a Radius slider that you can use if Red Eye Removal isn't affecting enough of the subject's pupils. So now I'll come in and I'll click on one of her eyes with this tool and in just a moment the red has been replaced with a kind of a gray color.
I'll try it on the other eye also, and that's done a pretty good job too. Now if I want to bring some of the original color back, because I did run this on a copy layer, I can lower the opacity of this layer by dragging the Opacity over to the left, and that makes her eyes look a little more natural. It looks to me like some of that black fill is overlapping onto her eyelid here. I'm going to zoom in so we can see that better. And I do see a little bit of gray up here and here and down here, so what I'm going to do is add a Layer Mask to that background copy layer by clicking the Layer Mask icon at the top of the Layers panel.
With the Layer Mask highlighted, I'll go over to the toolbar, I'll select the Brush Tool, I'll set my foreground color to black by clicking this double-pointed arrow, and then I'll move into the image and I'm going to paint on the Layer Mask with black to see if I can remove some of that black from the top and bottom of her eye. Now if I go too far like that, it's no problem. I can just come back and switch to white paint, and once again reveal the content of that Background copy layer. I'll go back to black, and I'll come over to this eye, and see if I can paint away a little bit of that effect just under her eye.
And then I go back to a 100% view by double-clicking the Zoom tool. So that's not perfect, but if I go over to the Layers panel and I turn off the Background copy layer, you can see that it's a lot better than where we started when her eyes were glowing brightly red like this.

Missing Longview man found dead, alleged killers lead police to body
POSTED: Thursday, December 20, 2012 - 5:47pm
UPDATED: Saturday, December 22, 2012 - 7:22pm
Longview, TX — The body of 27-year-old Ronnie Joe Gammage was found Wednesday in Upshur County after his alleged killers lead police to his body.
Gammage went missing on December 4 and a report was filed on December 8, the same day his truck was found in a Waffle House parking lot with the tires slashed.
Longview police released surveillance video earlier this week of a group of people attempting to cash a check from Gammage's account. Tips from the public helped identify two of the people in the car as 20-year-old Sarah Haslam and 19-year-old Daniel Jones.
Haslam and Jones spoke with Longview Police on Wednesday and during those interviews revealed to police where Gammage's body was.
Haslam and Jones were both charged with Capital Murder and Aggravated Kidnapping.
Comments News Comments
What were they thinking? Kidnap a nice man who was mentally handicapped and kill him for what, 50.. 100.. bucks? And they beat him senseless before cutting his throat? Yea capital murder for sure. Sad such young people throw away their lives and the life of that young man they murdered.
This sociopathic sub-human excrement should be executed post haste. What did they get out of this murder....NOTHING. And now, in all likelihood, myself and fellow taxpayers will pay for their board and lodging for the next 20-30 years. If so, put them in the general population: Haslam looks like a girl and he will be very popular in Federal Prison. 19 and 20 years old and their pathetic lives are wasted. Unfortunately, an innocent man died at their hands. May God accept his soul!

NBC News — Iran's chief nuclear negotiator arrived in Turkey friday for the first talks in more than a year with the west. Ahead of his arrival, Iranian state television reported the country will present new proposals aimed at easing concerns about its nuclear activity.
It is unclear if Tehran is willing to address its disputed uranium enrichment. The west claims Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon, Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful, energy purposes.

Great shoe & Great Price
We have always had good luck with New Balance shoes both for us (parents) and our son (9 years old). He is VERY hard on shoes and so far these meet the expectations we have come to know and expect from the brand. They fit perfect and the stitching, etc is firm. At the price you can't go wrong.

It took a couple tries for us to get the right size, as they seem to be run a full size small. But once we got the right size, these have been great. I ordered these on a Monday afternoon and they showed up Wednesday morning -- and I didn't pay for expedited shipping. I was so impressed!

Lightweight shoe
My son loves that the shoes are very lightweight. We ordered a different pair online originally and then received an email that they were on backorder. Dick's immediately processed a credit to my card and sent a 10% off coupon for a future order.

I bought these for my grandson and he loves them. I had taken him to several shoe stores and he couldn't find what he wanted so I told him to see if he could find them online and they were even cheaper.
