EUGENE, Ore. Morgan Uceny grew up in Plymouth, Ind., with a population of 10,033 and a high school basketball gymnasium that seats 4,600. So when she nearly won the Indiana state cross country title as a freshman and then quit as a junior to focus on basketball, well, that's what you do in Indiana.
You also raise goats and steers for the annual 4H competition at the county fair (she won that a few times, too).
"People think we're country," Uceny said. "I didn't think we were that country. Now that I live in San Diego, I'm like, 'OK, maybe we're a little country.' "
You might have seen her running near her home in University Heights in her trademark plastic beaded necklace she's had since junior high, through Balboa Park or along Mission Bay or in Los Penasquitos Canyon, or in a recent all-comers meet at San Diego Mesa College. You'll be seeing her on TV soon, in the London Olympics in the 1,500 meters.
U.S. women have been shut out from the medals podium in the event since it was added to the Olympic program in 1972. The daughter of a stonemason and school bus driver from rural Indiana suddenly has the best chance at doing what the legendary Mary Slaney never could.
Uceny won the 1,500 Sunday on the closing day of the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials, running effortlessly through the first three laps and powering away over the final 200 meters to win in 4 minutes, 4.59 seconds. Shannon Rowbury, the bronze medalist at the 2009 World Championships, was second. Jenny Simpson, who won the 2011 worlds after Uceny was tripped, was third.
It also was a powerful statement by the elite running group created by Bob Larsen and Joe Vigil 12 years ago with the philosophy of splitting time between the 7,900 feet of Mammoth Lakes and the temperate sea-level climate of San Diego. It gained legitimacy with marathon medals by Meb Keflezighi and Deena Kastor at the 2004 Olympics, and now it has proven it can develop runners at shorter distances as well.
The eight-day Trials at Hayward Field opened with the program's Amy Hastings winning the 10,000 meters convincingly, and closed with Uceny — the girl who dreamed of playing in the WNBA — never looking in danger in a loaded 1,500 field.
"I ended up not being a very good basketball player," the 5-foot-6 Uceny said. "I went to Cornell (to run track), where I drank too much my freshman year and gained 10 pounds and didn't get a varsity letter. I knew I could do better than that. I came back the next year and ran for myself. It's been different ever since."

Reach tens of thousands of people instantly by advertising with Ekklesia. Find out more
Twenty years ago, many public commentators believed that religion was dead, or at least 'on the way out'. How wrong that proved. Simon Barrow looks at how the conversation about faith is deepening and broadening in the face of growing religious and non-religious diversity.
In many churches today, hymns have been largely or wholly replaced by worship songs. Some of these are of high quality and accessible to a wider range of worshippers. However, says Savitri Hensman, perhaps there should be more discussion of how this trend may influence the ways in which Christians relate to the Bible and understand themselves, God and the world.
As a Christian think-tank concerned to promote a theological vision of equality in partnership with those of other beliefs and life-stances, Ekklesia is pleased to be part of the new Fair Admissions Campaign (FAC) for publicly funded schools. The initiative seeks to bring equity to a system that should be a beacon of justice and inclusion, yet is mired in discrimination. Simon Barrow explains why he believes that this issue should matter to all of us, both people of faith and people of good faith but not religious belief. Here he looks at it from a specifically Christian viewpoint.
Some Christian MPs strongly support marriage equality while others are strongly against it. In the UK and beyond, parliamentary debates on celebrating same-sex partnerships have revealed that – whatever top clerics or elders say – opinion within the churches is divided, says Savitri Hensman, reporting and commenting on the religious and theological views being expressed in parliament.
Two rural congreagtions say they will vote to leave the Church of Scotland over possible further ordinations of lesbian and gay ministers. In truth, the landscape is changing, says Simon Barrow. Larger numbers may well stay or join the Kirk if it ends its rejection of same-sex relationships, than will leave for the same reason. The refuseniks are looking back, not forward.
The Church of Scotland has agreed to maintain a status quo precluding further ordinations of gay and lesbian clergy, while permitting local congregations to do exactly the opposite – if a suitably crafted church law can be agreed next year. That's a big 'if', says Simon Barrow. As a statement of theological principle, this settlement risks looking a mess. In worldly terms it is classic coalition government. But it raises the key question as to whether the coalition can hold.
The government is using many of the classic tools of propaganda to influence our thinking about 'welfare' and those who receive it, says Jill Segger. She argues that we need to turn again to the real meaning of Jesus' transformative relationships with the despised.
The Church of Scotland vote to allow civil partnered gay and lesbian ministers, despite no change in the official teaching on sexuality, shows that the drift towards accepting gay people in the Kirk is continuing, says Simon Barrow. Indeed, while seeking pastoral sensitivity towards their opponents, the advocates of change believe that full inclusion is now inevitable.
As Michael Gove joins Iain Duncan Smith and David Cameron in misusing and misrepresenting facts for his own purposes, Jill Segger argues that politicans have taken another step towards destruction of the trust which is essential if our common democratic life is to thrive.
In a statement opposing same-sex unions, the House of Bishops and Standing Committee of the Church in the Province of the West Indies tried to justify persecution of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) people, reports Savitri Hensman. Meanwhile human rights activists in the Caribbean and beyond continue to work for decriminalisation and protection from violence, causes that Anglicans worldwide should support.

What if the committee said to FSU... at least for this one week, "No you won't be our top team, or even our bottom team. We are going to leave you out of the rankings all together."
Concussions and other head injuries not only top the headlines these days, they top the list of fears among parents as well. In fact, one-quarter of the parents surveyed have considered keeping their children from playing a sport because of fears of a concussion or other head injury.
All of my football friends were out of town this weekend, and I can't stand to watch a game alone, so I decided to invite my tailors -- Wang, Patel and Rabinowitz -- over to watch some NFL action on Sunday.
We must encourage men to have a voice in this discussion because while the majority of domestic violence victims are women, every year in the U.S., about 3.2 million men are the victims of an assault by an intimate partner.
Being notable for your presence is one thing but being truly notable is when the absence of your presence is in and of itself notable. That is what has happened over the past three weeks with Bill Simmons' suspension.
ESPN has the responsibility to report on the issues surrounding our favorite sports, and sometimes, unfortunately, those happen to be moral and legal issues. However, it is not ESPN's responsibility to uncover facts and break stories.
By suspending Mr. Simmons, ESPN has demonstrated that, like the NFL, it too places a higher priority on profits than on sending a proper message about domestic violence and in essence condones the shielding of domestic violence perpetrators.
First of all... any Leaf fan will tell you... haters gonna hate. Being scoffed at, criticized, mocked, poked, prodded and scrutinized is a daily occurrence for a Leaf fan.
When I heard that Jeter was retiring after this season, I wanted to get a first-hand glimpse at the real Derek Jeter, but as you can imagine, he has been difficult to reach this year.
The twitterverse has already begun scoffing at ESPN's clear conflict of interest between reporting on sports "news" and being a partner with the sports whose programming it carries.
In different areas of the world, there may be better players, better games, and better pure basketball. But New York City is still the Mecca. When you tell someone, "I played streetball in New York City," they'll immediately know it toughened you up.
Where is the outcry from our leading domestic violence organizations in the wake of the latest Ray Rice elevator video, wherein he punches his fiance in the face?
Roger Goodell is the commissioner of the most popular professional sports league in the United States. This week he demonstrated just how much he learned at the feet of his predecessors, Paul Tagliabue and especially Pete Rozelle.
Job discrimination is un-American. So change up now, both of you -- and pay my rainbow tax for your egregious behavior. Your past includes a horrible lack of leadership to end discrimination not only in football but all professional sports.
To get the number of signatures on it to build to the point that we can begin truly changing the face of cancer, I want to start a volleying-video challenge here in this post while the U.S. Open is still in full swing.
Last season, there were multiple NFL players who sustained spinal injuries. With a new football season approaching, let's review the status of these players to see how they have recovered from these injuries, and who is ready to get back in the game.

Just like with circular tables, they allow everyone at the table to see each other from an equal distance. No more fighting over the head of the table! Read More
No matter what your personal style might be, there is a perfect match in our square dining table collection.
Go country with a white washed wood square dining table. Turned wood legs add that country charm. Choose a table with a tile top that will stand up to moisture and heat better than wood. Or go for a table with distinctive wrought iron legs for some bistro like flair.

Square dining tables feature a variety of design options that improve their function. It's easy to find one that works perfectly for you.
To make family style dinners a little easier, choose a square dining table with a Lazy Susan. Rotate the food from person to person to simplify your dining experience.

Revised Period for CT
pdf ps
Daniel H. Horowitz
5930 Sanford Road, Houston,
The star CT Orionis is
listed in the GCVS as an RV Tauri variable with a period of 135.52 days. Based
on a year of study, during which an AAVSO chart was prepared, a revised period
of at most 66 and quite likely as short as 33 days was determined. There is a
hint that the light curve exhibits alternating deep and shallow minima which is
a characteristic of RV Tauri variables. However, the difference in the
magnitudes of alternate minima are quite small and lie within the range of
observational error, so a 33-day period with a Cepheid-like pattern is also
likely. Additional observations are needed to decide if CT Orionis should be
reclassified or if it is an RV Tauri member that might possibly be experiencing
atypical behavior.

Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving said his knees hurt after Wednesday's win vs. the Jazz. / Tony Dejak, AP
CLEVELAND (AP) - Cleveland Cavaliers coach Byron Scott says he would consider shutting down All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving again if his right knee is still sore.
After scoring 20 points and leading the Cavs to a comeback win against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night, Irving said his knee still hurt and the only way it would get better is if he sat out the rest of the season. The Cavs recently rested Irving for three games after he hyperextended his knee when he banged it during practice.
Scott was unaware of Irving's comments until Thursday and said after practice he would sit the 20-year-old again "if he's hurting."
The coach says he doesn't want Irving "playing at 50%" and will consult with trainer Max Benton before making any decisions.

Mayweather sees 2 more years before bowing out
More News from Associated Press
LAS VEGAS—Two years. Four more fights.
The end of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s career is in sight, because even the best fighter of his era can't beat Father Time. He'll be 38 and another $150 million or so richer when his lucrative contract with Showtime ends, and by then even the fighter raised from birth to be in the ring will likely have had his fill.
Appreciate his spectacular skills while you can. After what Mayweather did Saturday night to Canelo Alvarez, it's hard to argue when he proclaims himself as one of the greatest ever to lace on the gloves.
The only real question now is can anyone give him a legitimate fight?
"I don't know what the future holds now," Mayweather said. "I'm not psychic."
Maybe not, but Mayweather knows this: He'll fight next May (Cinco de Mayweather he calls it) against someone and he'll make another huge purse to fund his ever-growing collection of exotic cars and his six-figure bets on football and basketball games. After that, there will be three more fights, and then Mayweather plans to retire to his Big Boy mansion on a golf course near the Las Vegas Strip.
"I've only got 24 months left," he said.
Whether he sticks to that plan remains to be seen, of course. Fighters can be their own worst enemies when it comes time to calling it quits, and Mayweather by then would likely be 49-0 and one fight away from breaking the unbeaten mark set by Rocky Marciano before he retired.
Mayweather's problem right now is he might be too good. Alvarez was supposed to be the one fighter who could give him a tussle, but the Mexican champion spent all night punching at air as Mayweather put on a virtuoso performance that had everyone raving except the one ringside judge who somehow found a way to score the fight even.
The 114-114 scorecard of C.J. Ross was as bizarre as Justin Bieber walking into the ring with Mayweather, with rapper Lil' Wayne on the other side. Two other judges had Mayweather an easy winner, while The Associated Press had him winning all but one round, 119-109.
What was even more impressive was Mayweather dominated despite hurting his left elbow while throwing a punch midway through the fight. He said he hesitated to use his jab for a few rounds, then decided he had to work through the pain because his kids were watching and he wanted to show them their dad was a winner.
Few can argue with that after Mayweather raised his impeccable record to 45-0 in what may have been the richest fight of all time. The live gate itself was a record $20 million, and promoters will find out in the coming weeks if the fight generated the 2 million or so pay-per-view buys that could add several more millions to the $41.5 million purse Mayweather was guaranteed.
Mayweather was the main draw as usual, but it was Alvarez who put the fight over the top. Undefeated in 42 fights and the owner of a piece of the 154 pound title he was supposed to be the toughest test yet for Mayweather, and his fans made up a big portion of the sellout crowd at the MGM Grand arena on Mexican Independence Day weekend. Some in Mexico estimated up to 80 percent of the country's population watched the country's biggest sports hero try to become the first to beat boxing's reigning pound-for-pound champion.
But Mayweather dominated from the first round on, attacking Alvarez with sharp jabs and straight right hands that found their mark early and often. Alvarez tried his best to press the action and land big punches but Mayweather was too elusive and as the fight went on Alvarez grew more frustrated by the round.
Mayweather's dominance was reflected in ringside punch stats that showed him landing twice the number of punches as Alvarez, but even that didn't reflect how lopsided the fight was. Mayweather took a young and highly regarded champion and gave him a boxing lesson the likes of which he'll never experience again.
"Obviously I didn't want to lose," the 23-year-old said. "It hurts."
Mayweather was effusive in his praise for Alvarez afterward, saying he will be a great champion for years to come. What Alvarez did best, though, was make Money May even more money than he's ever gotten in a fight before.
Promoters talked about several fighters who could be next for Mayweather, including Danny Garcia, who remained unbeaten with an upset win over Lucas Matthysse in a 140-pound title fight on the undercard. But Mayweather himself was at a loss to say who he might fight next May, perhaps because it's hard to imagine anyone challenging his dominance.
"I just need a vacation," Mayweather said. "I haven't taken a vacation in four or five years."—Tim Dahlberg

The fact that you were both drifting has nothing to do with the rules. Without being exactly clear relative position of the two boats I can't speak for who was burdened. Now you violated Rule 8 which requires you to take prompt action to avoid a collision (since you almost hit you waited too long.) But the real key is Rule 17. Rule 17 says (paraphrasing) that it doesn't matter who has "rights" in the final analysis even the "Stand on" vessel
take action to avoid the collision. My guess, not being a maritime lawyer is that a court would find both boats liable and apportion costs under that basis.
The proper action would be to have unfurled your jib! (LOL)
You may 'think' youre not under command, your boat may actually be behaving as one 'not under command'; but, unless you have two red balls or two red lights aloft ... you're simply NOT 'not under command'.
In most such venues where boats are apparently drifting, the one with the current from behind/astern is the usual one that is considered 'privileged' ... but
as a courtesy
only and when not under Mississippi River or other 'inland river' Rules.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Reforming the World offers a sophisticated account of how and why, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, American missionaries and moral reformers undertook work abroad at an unprecedented rate and scale. Looking at various organizations such as the Young Men's Christian Association and the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions, Ian Tyrrell describes the influence that the export of American values had back home, and explores the methods and networks used by reformers to fashion a global and nonterritorial empire. He follows the transnational American response to internal pressures, the European colonies, and dynamic changes in global society.
Examining the cultural context of American expansionism from the 1870s to the 1920s, Tyrrell provides a new interpretation of Christian and evangelical missionary work, and he addresses America's use of "soft power." He describes evangelical reform's influence on American colonial and diplomatic policy, emphasizes the limits of that impact, and documents the often idiosyncratic personal histories, aspirations, and cultural heritage of moral reformers such as Margaret and Mary Leitch, Louis Klopsch, Clara Barton, and Ida Wells. The book illustrates that moral reform influenced the United States as much as it did the colonial and quasi-colonial peoples Americans came in contact with, and shaped the architecture of American dealings with the larger world of empires through to the era of Woodrow Wilson.
Investigating the wide-reaching and diverse influence of evangelical reform movements, Reforming the World establishes how transnational organizing played a vital role in America's political and economic expansion.

Of course the budget for Dakar would be tiny compared to fielding a factory and satellite Moto GP team/s, but it is the concentration of engineers and resources, and not least the target of advertising and marketing that is going to dictate their current policy...
Off road bikes are not a huge priority for any of the Japanese brands (compared to street orientated machines)... and even with the huge growth in the 'Adventure' market in recent years, I think this Dakar more than any other has shown that the current generation of Dakar/rally bike is a lightweight precision
machine, not ideally suited to a everyday 'Adventure' role?
I've been paying way too much attention to this stuff over the last couple of years since I'm a bit of a Yamaha freak... The real issue for Yamaha is that a few years ago (2009 I think) they pulled the plug on most of their factory teams due to budget issues. I think even the Moto GP team was on the chopping block. In the end what they've done is created a factory 'support' program for all the racers that are out there, but don't directly fund the teams. This works for Yamaha for exposure and being able to offload some development to teams. The teams themselves have more of a burden, but still get the parts they need and some direct development through Yamaha. Before then I think you could consider Yamaha France as the Factory Yamaha team/support. As I think Jenny mentioned, this is Yamaha's version of what BMW has done. Exposure and development without negative feedback. (not that it wasn't negative at the time.)

The way I look at it now is that Yamaha just throws a few test bikes and some money at the riders and the 'factory' effort ends there...
Is it up to the rider to choose the bike and built or up to the rider?
Or is David Casteu the one that isn't on a factory bike (JVO Kit vs Alu tanks on the Factory)?
The other issue for now is that Yamaha has changed their bike platforms so many times in the 450 class since the Dakar move to South America. Several riders this year were still on steel framed WR 450 kits from pre 2007. Others were on the Aluminum WR, the 2010 WR, some using the YZ and now the new 2012 WR which is a YZ frame. So it really does come down to rider preference and perhaps ability. Now that Yamaha has made a more performance oriented WR, who knows? Perhaps another sponsor will show up and do an effort like Redbull/KTM?
Who else has a global presence that would dive in the ring?
Yamaha is definitely more consumer oriented, but they like to make forays when they want to...

Investigations have shown that Saradha group chief Sudipto Sen had produced a promotional video for Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress party just before the Bidhansabha elections in 2011. However, due to the orders of the Election Commission, the video was never shown in public.
The video was made by a channel group under the Saradha group, and the money was provided by the Sudipto Sen, reported 24 Ghanta, the Bengali news channel belonging to Zee.
The video was allegedly shot in Nalban in Kolkata in 2001. The video with running time of more than 4 minutes, cost Rs 5.5 lakh to be shot and produced.
The idea of the video was provided by an intellectual close to TMC. But since the video used religious chants, the Commission did not allow its screening.
This is not the first time that evidence that joins TMC with the Saradha scam has come into existence. Earlier this month, CBI had obtained a picture that showed Sudipto Sen handing over money to a TMC leader for paying international players including Messi who had come to Kolkata in 2011.

Many thanks Dove. Moving it from the greenhouse tomorrow into the conservatory. Can't trust the GH not to drop below 0 if the winter's bad.
I have this plant, it's been flowering magnificantly all summer but I'm not sure what to do with it now. Where shall I keep it over the winter and how should I deal with it in the spring ? Will it come back or should I take cuttings ?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Forgive me folks but I couln't work out where to post this query. I don't seem to be getting e mail alerts when my posts are answered despite my adress showing in my preferences. Any ideas anybody/mods ?
Many thanks.
Interesting Verdun, thank you. You say to prune, presumably any time now, but won't I just be cutting off next year's fruits ?
Thanks for the tips everybody. I was rather hoping there might have been some culinary use for these babies but I will now compost them tomorrow and look forward to next summer.
Thanks both. Nutcutlet, do you mean that if I leave them alone they might ripen next summer ? We inherited the tree 4 years ago when we moved into our house, East London, and this is the first year it's had any fruit. I was so excited when they appeared but as the year's gone on they don't seem to have grown any.
Not sure whether this should be on the cookery board but my fig tree is covered in fruits about the size of grapes. I know they're not going to ripen now but does anybody know what they could be used for ? Seems such a same to let them go to waste.
Woodgreen wonderoy makes a good point. If they had known 100 years ago what was to come, I wonder if it would have made any difference. The fact that boys and girls are still dying fighting tyranny around the world suggests not. I grow my poppies every year in memory of an uncle who went to the front in 1914 and never came back and my Dad who went to sea in 1939 and did make it home.
I'll be proud to keep the silence on the 11th.
I want to re-start my strawberry bed. It has been going for 5 years and has become rather overgrown with weeds and random runners. My question is am I better off buying pot grown plants to put in this weekend or shall I get bare rooted runners as seen advertised on the web ?
If this sounds daft, please bear with me. I remember as a child spending what seemed like hours topping and tailing gooseberries. Now, having just picked around five pounds, there seems to be more to life than doing this. My question is, if I cook them down with the fluffy bits still on am I going to poison my family or best case give them a case of the jippy tummy ?

The High Court of Bangladesh has ruled that no woman should be forced to wear a veil at educational institutions.
It was women's personal choice whether they wore scarves or covered their heads, said the court.
The court directed the Education Ministry to ensure the implementation of its order.
The verdict is on a writ petition filed following a report that an education officer in Kurigram insulted a woman teacher last year by making a disgraceful remark.
"It is the personal choice of a women to wear a veil, if any person tries to compel a woman to wear a veil against her consent or will that amounts to a violation of her fundamental right as enshrined in the Constitution," observed the court.
A two-judge bench, comprising Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain and Justice Afsar Jahan, also asked the government to enforce its earlier guidelines to prevent sexual harassment of women and girls at educational institutions, offices, factories and other workplaces.
The court on May 14 last year had directed the authorities concerned to form five-member harassment complaint committees headed by women, and with women as majority members, at all workplaces and institutions to investigate allegations of harassment of women.

A very popular feature in Exchange Online is shared mailboxes. A shared mailbox is a mailbox that multiple users can open to read and send e-mail message. It does not require a license if it doesn't exceed 5 GB in size, and you are free to create as many shared mailboxes as you like. It can provide a generic e-mail address, such as email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com, which customers can use to inquire about your company. It allows multiple users to monitor and reply to e-mail sent to an e-mail address, such as a help desk.
In an Outlook Web App-only setup it may feel somewhat cumbersome to switch between your own Inbox and your shared mailboxes - and if responding to mails in a shared mailbox is a shared responsibility of your team, it's important to know if one of your team members already is working on one of the mails in the mailbox, before you take action on that same mail.
To ease the job of working with mails in a shared mailbox AND to keep track of which colleague is working on which mails you can consider adding CRM Online's mail-enabled queues to the mix.
If you hook a mail-enabled queue into your shared mailbox you'll be able access the shared mailbox' mails from the CRM Online queue, and mark one or more mails in the queue as mails you are working on.
If you open a queue item (holding one of the mails from the shared mailbox) you can even convert it to a Lead, an Opportunity, a Case and take lots of other actions on it to ensure a structured handling of the mail.
The components
To bridge the shared mailbox in Exchange Online and the email enabled queue in CRM Online in terms of emails, you'll need an email router (a piece of software sitting on a computer). So the components in the above setup would be:
1. Setting up a shared mailbox in Exchange Online
To setup a shared mailbox you can either use PowerShell or a graphical tool. In either case you'll first need to create a security group to hold the users who'll access the shared mailbox.
Go to Exchange Online Administration, select Manage My Organization -> Users & Groups -> Distribution Groups. Fill out the required information and select the "Make this group a security group" check box.
To enable members of the security group to open the shared mailbox, read e-mail, and use the calendar, you'll need to provide the parameter FullAccess to the PowerShell command Add-MailboxPermission. To enable members of the security group to send e-mail from the shared mailbox, you'll need to provide the parameter SendAs to the PowerShell command Add-RecipientPermission
The links in the paragraph above should take you through the process of creating the shared mailbox either using PowerShell or the GUI based tool. In my example I'm using the email address email@example.com for my shared mailbox.
2. Creating a mail-enabled queue in CRM Online
To create an email enabled queue go to Settings, then Business Management and then click Queues
Specify the email address of the queue (the smtp address of the shared mailbox - in my example firstname.lastname@example.com) and make sure the e-mail access configurations are set to "Email Router"
3. Installing and configuring an email router
You can download the email router here and then configure the email router according to the directions in these articles:
CRM Server URL
To configure your email router you'll need to know which CRM Server URL to put in. Depending on the which part of the world your Office 365/CRM Online tenant is hosted in you must put in the correct URL.
In other words; use CRM when in NA, CRM4 when in EMEA and CRM5 when in APAC
You'll also need the unique organization name of your CRM Online - find it under Settings -> Customizations -> Developer Resources
In my example the unique organization name is mso365wiz. Since my tenant is in EMEA the full CRM server URL I'll need to put in is: https://disco.crm4.dynamics.com/mso365wiz
Inbound and outbound profiles
To configure the profiles for inbound and outbound mails in your email router to work with Exchange Online, you'll need to know the external SMTP settings of your Office 365 Exchange Online tenant. Open your Outlook Web App, click the question mark under your name and then click About
Scroll down and find the SMTP settings
In my example its pod51007.outlook.com, hence the full URL to the Exchange Web Services is: https://pod51007.outlook.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx
I hope this article will be of use to you by pointing to one of the many ways Office 365 and CRM Online are better together

Record keeping for small businesses
The mindset and behaviors associated with protecting intellectual property start with top management. It's a tough job considering the not-so-surprising latitude for departing employees to take corporate trade secrets with them. The Boston Business Journal reports that even with strict vendor confidentiality agreements, keeping corporate secrets may be difficult. Identifying intellectual property at early stages is a good start."Almost all intellectual property starts out as a trade secret. In a lot of ways, that's the point where it's most vulnerable," James Donnelly Jr.

Accounting software products such as Intuit's Quickbooks Billing Solutions offer efficient and effective invoicing tools.

Benefits, Dangers of Paying Taxes with Credit Card
Individuals and businesses may choose to pay taxes with one of the major credit cards through service providers that have contracts with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and earn miles, points, rewards or money back from the credit card issuer. For taxpayers whose returns contain an unpleasant surprise, the credit card option allows some time to pull together the cash he needs to pay the tax bill.But preparers should warn their clients that interest on credit card balances is generally higher than interest paid to the IRS on underpayment of taxes (currently 8 percent).

Avoiding a Tax Bite on Inherited IRAs and 401(k)s
Like life insurance, beneficiaries of individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and workplace accounts (401k, 403b and 457 plans) inherit the proceeds directly without having to go through probate court. And IRAs and 401(k)s have become popular in many estate plans in recent years because they are not subject to probate costs. But unlike life insurance, inherited tax-deferred accounts can trigger a big tax bill for beneficiaries if they transfer the funds to their banks before they talk to their accountants or financial advisers, SFGate.com reports.

28 year old man | Brentwood (SoCal), CA, USA | Seeking women 23-30 within 50 miles
Until the weekend heals us
I'm looking to meet a girl that is both intelligent and creative, who can enjoy a philosophical conversation as much as a night at the club or being at a concert. Someone who can marvel at the complexities of life and can source their life from those moments. Hopefully you have a sense of humor and can be open to the possibility of possibilities. It's important to me that a girl isn't afraid to be opinionated, isn't afraid to try new things, or take chances every once in a while. This is important to me in any kind of relationship, and hopefully it is to you as well. Ok. About me I'm a laid back guy, and am hoping to find someone that loves film as much as I do. I also really love music and concerts, especially Coachella. I'm a pretty smart guy, and I love talking about philosophical ideas. I enjoy photography and road trips. I travel as much as I can, and try to get to Maui once a year, but I enjoy traveling abroad as well. when I'm in L.A. I like checking out new restaurants, spending a night on the town visiting clubs or parties, or playing pool with my friends. I am very fortunate to not have to worry about finances too much, and would love to meet someone that has as much freedom to enjoy some of the nicer elements of life as well. I also love reading and writing. I think its important to appreciate the little things in life, and in the end it doesn't really matter so much about what you spend your time doing, as long as you enjoy the company that you keep while doing it. And thats what I'm looking for, another good hearted person to possibly connect with and share some experiences. If you are too, send me a message. -Eric

Croupiers at Montreal, Lac-Leamy casinos ratify union contractMONTREAL — Unionized croupiers at the Montreal and Lac-Leamy casinos have ratified a contract that will see them make 2 per cent more in salary annually for the next six years. The raise is also retroactive to the expiration of their last contract, dated April 1, 2013. The unionized members voted 85 per cent to accept the offer in Lac-Leamy and 63 per cent in Montreal.
Unions reach deal in principle with Montreal, Lac-Leamy casinosEmployees at the Montreal and Lac-Leamy casinos signed an agreement in principle with Loto-Québec late Saturday night after being without a contract since March 2013. Montreal's croupiers staged a one-day strike in mid-July to protest stalled contract negotiations for the 1,100 employees, 750 in Montreal and 350 in Lac-Leamy, situated in Gatineau. Management stepped in to keep the casino going during the strike. Union officials said the details of the new contract will not be made public until they have been presented to their members for approval at a general assembly. Previous reports have stated workers will seeking a salary increase and improved working conditions for part-timers, while Loto-Québec was arguing times were leaner for the casino industry.
Montreal casino workers plan 24-hour strikeWorkers at the Montreal and Lac-Leamy casinos will go on strike for 24 hours starting Monday, after another round of failed negotiations with management. The 1,100 employees have worked without a contract since their last collective bargaining agreement expired 15 months ago. The croupiers and other service workers will walk off the job Monday at 6 a.m. in hopes of pressuring their bosses at Loto-Québec to return to the negotiating table.

CINCINNATI, July 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Your mouth is more than just teeth and gums, it's your most important feature when it comes to expressing yourself and engaging with the world. To help celebrate how important a healthy mouth is to living life to the fullest, "The Biggest Loser" host and author of "The Mommy Diet," and "Days of our Lives" star Alison Sweeney is joining Crest® and Oral-B® to announce the launch of the "Life Opens Up Project," a program that encourages individuals to share their personal stories showcasing how their healthy mouths have played a pivotal role in shaping who they are today.

Sweeney, who knows the importance of a healthy, confident smile said, "I'm so thrilled to be teaming up with Crest and Oral-B on such an empowering program. In my personal life, the health of my mouth plays an essential role not only in my on-screen profession, but also in how I interact with individuals as a wife, mother and friend. Your mouth is usually the first thing people notice about you, and when you have a healthy mouth that you can be proud of, that confidence shines through to the world."

"Whether it's how a shy young man gathers the confidence to talk to the girl who will one day become his wife or how a woman who does local charity work gives a voice to those who aren't able to speak for themselves, every one of us has moments in which our healthy mouth plays a surprising role in how we open up to life, and how the world opens up to us in return," says Megan Young, Brand Manager, Procter and Gamble. "Through the 'Life Opens Up Project,' we are encouraging Americans to share their inspiring stories with one another, showing how confidence in a healthy mouth can truly enhance your life."

Hip-hop is more interested in geography than any other genre. In rap, where you are from is almost as important as your name. Often, we pit cities and regions against each other as a way to compare and contrast talent. On their latest video single, the Jacka, who hails from Cali, Combine the Coasts to create one powerful intercoastal cut. Though they hail from different regions, Jacka and Freeway sound like neighbors, showcasing similarly edgy, gritty flows. Freeway's is more raspy and Jacka's is much smoother, but Adam Sampler's vibrant, unwavering boardwork, strong enough to accomodate two boisterous emcees, serves as the glue that links them together. Combine the Coasts is the lead single off Freeway and Jacka's forthcoming collabo tape,Write My Wrongs, due out later this month.

'Lewd' rally causes cracks in Malabon mayor's team
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
Malabon City Mayor Antolin Oreta III on Thursday said he was considering dropping his team's vice mayoral candidate following Monday night's proclamation rally which drew criticism in cyberspace for the "lewdness" of the dancers who performed onstage.
In an interview, Oreta said he might change his lineup by replacing Edwin Dimagiba of the Nationalist People's Coalition with the incumbent vice mayor, Diosdado Cunanan, who is seeking reelection under the Liberal Party ticket.
According to Oreta, the rally, which featured a female dance trio conducting "games" that had men ending up half-naked onstage and making suggestive body contacts, was organized by the staff of Dimagiba's cousin, Rep. Josephine Lacson-Noel.
An INQUIRER report on Thursday carried a photo of one of the games played by the group known as The Playgirls.
Oreta said he was not consulted regarding the program but later admitted negligence on his part because he did not check the kind of performances lined up that night.
But since he and Lacson-Noel are running unopposed, Oreta said, the "head of the whole campaign" is Dimagiba, who faces three opponents.
"Yet it appears that he (Dimagiba) is not being assertive as he should be. He's the one running the show," he said. "He should know everything."

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has hung his defenders out to dry after another Champions League defeat at Ajax.
It has been suggested that Mancini's creaking defence are not being helped out by the midfielders in front of them but, again, Mancini was having none of it.
The former Inter Milan boss said: "No, that's an excuse.
"Strong defenders are capable of defending together because, sometimes, when you lose a midfielder in front you need to work with only four defenders.
"Right now maybe we aren't 100 per cent and for this reason we have to work.
"We have good players but if you don't concentrate or you are not 100 per cent, you can make mistakes."

ATP World Tour Doubles 2011 - Week 42
Melo-Soares Oust Defending Stockholm Champs
by ATP Staff|
Fourth seeds Marcelo Melo and Bruno Soares ousted defending champions and No. 2 seeds Eric Butorac and Jean-Julien Rojer 7-6(4), 6-3 to reach the If Stockholm Open final on Saturday.
After winning the first set in a tie-break, Melo and Soares broke serve in the eighth game to take a 5-3 lead, and served it out to advance to their fourth team final of the season. The Brazilians triumphed at Costa Do Sauipe (d. Andujar-Gimeno Traver ) and Santiago (d. Kubot-Marach).
In the final, Melo and Soares will play top seeds Rohan Bopanna and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi.
The loss hurts Butorac and Rojer's chances of qualifying for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. Currently ninth in the 2011 ATP Doubles Team Rankings, Butorac and Rojer had the opportunity to move into eighth position had they won the title.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia
Topic Overview
What is vitamin B12 deficiency anemia?
Having vitamin B12 deficiency means that your body does not have enough of this vitamin. You need B12 to make red blood cells , which carry oxygen through your body. Not having enough B12 can lead to anemia, which means your body does not have enough red blood cells to do the job. This can make you feel weak and tired. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause damage to your nerves and can affect memory and thinking.
What causes vitamin B12 deficiency anemia?
Most people get more than enough B12 from eating meat, eggs, milk, and cheese. Normally, the vitamin is absorbed by your digestive system—your stomach and intestines. Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia usually happens when the digestive system is not able to absorb the vitamin. This can happen if:
- You have pernicious anemia. In this anemia, your body destroys the cells in your stomach that help you absorb vitamin B12.
- You have had surgery to remove part of the stomach or the last part of your small intestine, called the ileum . This includes some types of surgery used to help very overweight people lose weight.
- You have problems with the way your body digests food, such as sprue (also called celiac disease), Crohn's disease, bacteria growth in the small intestine, or a parasite.
This anemia can also happen if you don't eat enough foods with B12, but this is rare. People who eat a vegan diet and older adults who don't eat a variety of foods may need to take a daily vitamin pill to get enough B12. Other causes include drinking alcohol and taking some prescription and nonprescription medicines.
What is the recommended daily amount of vitamin B12?
The amount of vitamin B12 you need depends on your age.
|Age (years)
|Daily amount of B12 (micrograms)
|0.9 mcg
|1.2 mcg
|1.8 mcg
|14 and older
|2.4 mcg
|Pregnant women
|2.6 mcg
|Breast–feeding women
|2.8 mcg
