HAMPTON — Hampton University athletic director Keshia Campbell has yet to settle into her office — the same office (with the same carpet) that she occupied as HU's associate athletic director for administration in 2006. Looking around the space, crammed with trophies and plaques and shaken once every few minutes by muffled sonic booms from the weight room below, she says, "If I were to leave here today, I would grab my purse and that Germ-X," indicating a bottle of hand sanitizer on her desk. "That's it. I came in and literally just started working and just haven't let up at all."
Campbell returned to Hampton in late July, hired away from the University of Texas-Dallas, where she'd worked since 2009 as the school's director for business affairs and special projects. A native of Bennettsville, S.C., and the 1987 valedictorian of Blenheim High who carries bottles of Blenheim spicy ginger ale in the trunk of her car to offer to the uninitiated, Campbell is the first female AD in Hampton history. The historic stop is the latest in a life devoted to athletics for Campbell, a 2006 inductee into the South Carolina State University Athletic Hall of Fame who led the school in scoring and rebounding and was named the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference player of the year as a senior in 1991.
NCAA, where she worked as assistant and associate director of championships.
Now back at a place both familiar and new, Campbell disregarded a constantly ringing phone long enough to answer a few questions from the Daily Press.
Q: What's it like to be back at Hampton?
A: It definitely has its advantages, just knowing the culture, in any program. In dealing with the people, a lot of the same faces are here, and a lot of the players are still in key positions and key roles. … There have been a few changes, but for the most part, it's been pretty much the same.
You said, when accepting the HU job, that you wanted to get back into the athletic side of administration. Why?
Ever since I was in second grade, playing basketball with a schoolyard full of boys during recess, I have always been drawn to different sports and athletics. And having played several sports in high school and then basketball in college, I've just always had that desire to do something that was in the athletics realm. Until I started working at UT-Dallas, I had always been, in some form or fashion, in athletics. I was a physical education teacher and also a girls basketball coach when I was in South Carolina and then coached basketball at South Carolina State, then came here as an administrator in athletics, and then went to the NCAA and worked with various championship. So just getting back into it and back into culture of collegiate athletics was very important to me.
That said, how did your time working with the financial side of things at UT-Dallas better qualify you for this job?
We constantly have to look at our expenditures and find ways, especially in this economic climate, to maximize our funding. I definitely look at that very closely and try to make certain that our coaches and our budget administrators of various programs are mindful of that as they spend and travel and do things for their programs. I like to try to be as cost-effective as possible and pool resources as often as possible. … I understand the culture of being a coach and being a student-athlete. When I was a student-athlete, of course, I didn't have to worry about where the money came from. I just went out and played. But being a coach, you're constantly — if you're given this budget and you have to operate within that budget, then you make the adjustments as necessary to make certain that you are able to be in the black at the end of the budget year. And I will say that, over the seven years that I was head coach, I was in the black every year.
What has been keeping you busy since your arrival at HU?
Football scheduling has definitely been one of the main priorities that was just pretty much waiting for me. We have several contests — even in 2012 — slots that we have to fill yet. I'm trying to schedule as far out as possible. We have our conference schedule out through 2019, so I'm trying to go ahead and get the non-conference games in there as much as possible. … I've been so busy, with football and basketball kind of running together and of course volleyball running concurrently with football and several other sports being in action as well, and the women's cross country team winning a (MEAC) championship, and bowling getting started up … (I'm) just trying to make certain, when they're in the area if at all possible, that I can let them see that the AD is there and is concerned about their competitions as well.
How do you decide where and when to put in appearances?
Football, I knew that there was a game every week. With basketball, I have to carry that little pocket (schedule) and (say), 'Wait a minute. OK, the men are playing here and the women are playing there and then who comes back tomorrow night?' I try to plan out as far as possible. If it's close by, or if it's a (tournament) like the (men's basketball) team just played in New York, I wanted to make certain that we were able to get up there. But then I came right back for the women's game (the next) night.
One of the things you mentioned when taking the job was improving HU's APR (academic progress rate). What steps have been taken in that direction?
A lot of the success of the program is the recruiting piece and making certain that we're getting the right student-athletes in place, and also that those student-athletes get really good coaching. We want to make certain that we're getting academically sound student-athletes in. … We're looking at procedures for different things that we do in athletics. Right now, I'm harping on the student-athlete services that we provide. How are they assessed initially? How are their transcripts reviewed, and what are the steps that are taken there? And then how is it that they receive their books? How is it that they return their books? … It's important to me to know what goes on, because then I can have a sense of it. I just don't like having to say, 'I don't know what's done there.'
HBCUs (historically black colleges and universities) have struggled with APR (which measures, among other things, graduation rates). In the 2009-10 reporting year, 33 of the 103 penalties were incurred by teams at HBCUs. Is there a way to address this disproportionality?
It has a lot to do with the resources. There are lots of programs that have lots of resources, both financial and human, that they can put into their programs. (HBCUs) were the available option to people of color when they could not go to other institutions. Those schools were established or founded years before (widespread integration) for the purpose of providing places of higher learning for people of color. The makeup, for the most part, at a lot of the institutions is pretty much still the same.
With Hampton, you can see a good mixture, especially with the curriculum offerings that we have here, with pharmacy and nursing and the graduate school offerings. Students can take the classes in the evening. I think it's developing like that at a lot of institutions, but as far as APR is concerned, you do still have a lot of institutions that are not quite able to get over the hump to be able to provide the type of resources that are necessary.

Lee Cattermole admits he's unhappy with the right-midfield role Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate is asking him to play.
Despite scoring the winner at Fulham on Saturday, Cattermole complained: "I'm not a right midfielder and I don't want to be to be honest. If the gaffer asks me to play there then I will play there and do a job.
"I'm not going to say I had a good game because I didn't. But I scored a goal and that proved crucial so I have to be happy with that.
"The win was more important than me scoring and I thought it was a great team effort today. I think we deserved a bit of luck and it was nice to get on the score sheet too.
"I scored a similar goal down at Charlton last season and when you put them low into the corners it's difficult for the keepers to get to them."

We were talking the other day about long term care in a nursing home (something neither of needs yet) and (as far as we can tell) if you have assets - including a house- you have to sell that to pay for nursing care until your assets are down to about £11000.
Is this correct?
Is there a way a trust fund or similar (after all MP's and the Wealthy do it) can be set up so that all your assets are legally protected, or even just 50% so the non- care patient is not brought to their knees and loses all that has been worked for.
Or should we just spend everything and when we are are skint tell the state to lok after us.

Terry Brown, you are very correct about trying to understand some of this type of material. I don't know if it applied to you, but a few years ago, the government of the day use to send out regular information to the elderly about unclaimed money, and what people were entitled to. Mainly because £millions were not being rightfully claimed, and the government wanted to look good about bringing this subject to the public's attention, in distributing this stored and available wealth.
It became that complicated, that some of the elderly people around my neck of the woods, asked if I could or would help them with these claim forms. It soon became very noticeable how many people's claims were being rejected, based on a catch 22 condition of entitlement. The government realised after a few years, that they were doing more harm than good, and the exercise ceased. But the thought was there!.

If you have children then sell your home to them for an agreed price and rent it from them for an agreed sum (for life). If you do this before a set amount of years before care is needed (I don't know the exact amount of years) then the house will be passed on to the children as intended. Of course it depends how well you get on with your off-springs.

She is an adventurer, a path breaker, a nature lover. She is not afraid to let her hair down and enjoy the finest that life can offer. She is a fashionista, a social butterfly, a shopaholic. Nothing can stop her, and nothing should. The seemingly simple yet enigmatic woman of today loves to travel, and she carries with her, the many avatars that make her what she is.
As the summer heat simmers down with the weather bringing promises of sweet rain, she is ready to pack her bags and travel to the most exotic and exciting places, be it on the home turf or overseas. And when it comes to travel, it is imperative to be armed with the essentials, yes even style-wise. We assess the various avatars of the modern-day woman and what jewellery would complement her best.
The adventurer
Plain and easy is not her style. She likes to rough up things a bit, as that brings out the best in her. Her travel plans are full of adventure and she doesn't allow anything to come in her way. Certainly not heavy-duty bling. A classic spiral ring studded with white and black diamonds is right down her alley.
The path breaker
Be it social entrepreneurship or volunteering at a school, the path breaker likes to take the road less travelled, literally. She is a no-fuss woman who likes her bling to speak the same language. Simple yet elegant, a pair of solitaire studs would add a touch of grace to her ears.
The nature lover
She loves to surround herself with nature, be it with the lush green forests of the tropics or the gentle creatures that reside within them. A lover of nature will appreciate the beauty and aesthetics that are ingrained in each creation. A white gold bracelet inspired by the Cala Lily flower would charm her.
The fashionista
Her lifestyle resembles much like a fashion runway, speckled with stardust and glitzy lights. While she may follow trends or be a trendsetter herself, she likes to stay ahead of the game, even when she is on the go. She likes it bold, and she likes it sparkly. A chunky cuff with a floral design set in diamonds will be her new best friend.
The social butterfly
She loves to flaunt her bling and be the cynosure of all eyes, no matter where she goes. She spills opulence not just in her outfits but also her jewellery. That is why a floral diamond ring with a pear-shaped emerald is a jewelled piece that will match her persona.
The shopaholic
She is an outdoorsy girl, for sure, but she is not made for the hills and oceans. Her turf is strictly limited to the biggest and brightest cities of the world, where she loves to buy whatever her heart desires. A princess cut Eternity bangle is bound to keep her interested.

Central Coast coach McKinna positive ahead of Canberra clash with Perth
Central Coast Mariners coach Lawrie McKinna is excited on the eve of the club's A-League match in Canberra.
The Mariners will use Canberra Stadium as its home ground for two matches this season, with tomorrow's fixture against Perth Glory being the first.
Players will be forced to undergo a five-hour bus ride to the ground but McKinna is undeterred about the travel and believes the Mariners are a good match for Dave Mitchell's Glory.
"We've been down there a few times before, we've got great support and we've never lost down there," McKinna said yesterday.
"I think we just match up well against Perth.
"They've usually been a big, physical, strong team and that brings the best out of us.
"Perth are a very experienced team right across the park and all of their new boys are finding their feet now."

So Thursday happened, it happened for all of us. Some of us gorged on turkey, stuffing, and other assorted foods associated with giving thanks and others probably just had a normal Thursday. Either way it happened. People logged in and played Alteil. That too had happened.
And now on this holiest of Mondays, Rankings happens. The one day a week where every trash talking Iczer either mans up or shuts up. Where the points hit the pavement. Where old dogs go to die. Where the wild things are. Err... I think I lost the point a few sayings ago. So here they are in all their glory. Respect the rankings and it shall respect you.
Mondays happen and now December happens. It will be happening very soon. Enjoy it.
always, anyone who had a stomach ache from too much food* and fought in

Hopefully everyone is recuperating nicely from the tryptophan overload we call turkey.
For anyone who had trouble in the past few days with the cashier, trouble no more! Credit Card transaction issues through EPS have been resolved. Go, spend! EX5 awaits.
If anyone has been having trouble with the Cashier, the Credit Card option through EPS is down. It is an issue on our merchant's end, not ours. As soon as we hear it's fixed, we will post about it right here on our homepage.
As a temporary solution, Paypal also accepts credit card purchases.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
The half price Avatar Sale is up, and we'll keep it up for 48 hours. We've got 17 new avatars, so go take a look!
Team Alteil hopes you're enjoying the football, the turkey, the family, the grands biscuits dipped in mashed potatoes and dark gravy, and the Alteil.
Remember, tomorrow kicks off our two day Avatar Sale to commemorate our most holy of holidays, Black Friday. Again probably only an American thing, but the great thing is that everyone can share in the half priceness!
Your faithful GMs,TEAM ALTEIL

optionsXpress(R) Introduces Innovative New Investor Tools
optionsXpress Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:OXPS) today announced the rollout of yet another significant number of new or enhanced tools to its award winning brokerage platform, focusing on investor education, strategy evaluation and trade execution. These unique and proprietary features are part of optionsXpress' fourth major site release in 2008.
"In just the first six months of the year, we have delivered over 1,000 enhancements to our site," said David Fisher, CEO of optionsXpress. "Some of the changes are obvious, while others are subtle yet meaningful improvements to the overall customer experience."
The site improvements include:
— "What-if" Portfolio Margining – optionsXpress now offers the ability to test "what-if" scenarios, making it easier than ever to understand and predict how market movements and position changes can impact portfolio margining calculations. At a time when many brokers still do not offer portfolio margining, this enhancement further separates optionsXpress from the competition.
— Trade Calculator – Customers can now enter new and additional information into the calculator, making it more applicable to a wider range of needs.
— Futures Options – Long an industry leader in the development of easy-to-use options chains, optionsXpress has expanded its offering within futures options, giving traders easy access to more futures options information via separate call and put pages.
— Site Customization – Additional customization parameters to better personalize the overall optionsXpress trading experience.
— Price Information – A new theoretical Option Pricer within the order entry pages to more quickly provide additional pricing data. In addition, a convenient price refresh feature allows clients to get one or many price updates prior to submitting an order.
Many of the new tools and enhancements were developed in response to customer requests. In fact, optionsXpress maintains a wish-list for customer feedback, and receives hundreds of customer suggestions monthly.
"Our clients ask and we deliver," said Fisher. "From increased page and data sorting features to more powerful trade documentation, our customer feedback consistently drives our development process."

Wasn't saying there aren't dumb risk takers out there. And anyway, as noted, this story seems to have more to it.
Forgetting all the oddities of this story, I was simply responding to the blanket statement that it is "unusual" for wife to sail the boat home while husband takes the car. That just does not raise any red flags for me, but again, maybe it's an age thing.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Apartment in the exclusive Andriana II complex. Located within 10 minutes walk of the Paphos main tourist area, Bar Street and on the local bus route, this apartment is ideal for those who are seeking a holiday with everything on hand to them. Excellently located close to the historic old town of Paphos. The apartment has been stylishly furnished to provide a comfortable stay for up to 2 people.
Andriana Resort is a 15-minute walk from Paphos's centre. It offers elegant, self-catered accommodation with verandas overlooking the gardens and the large swimming pool.
The air-conditioned apartment unit features a fully equipped kitchen with fridge, cooker (with hob) and washing machine. A dining area is available. The apartment offers a seating area with a TV and DVD player, and a private balcony that gets plenty of sun in the afternoon but is also covered to provide shelter from the rain.
The swimming pool area features showers and many free sun loungers and umbrellas. Guests have access to a well-equipped gym, a sauna and outdoor hot tub.
There are restaurants and cafés within walking distance from the Resort Andriana. There are restaurants and cafés within walking distance from the Resort Andriana. There is a large supermarket selling fresh vegetables, fish etc which is a ten minute walk away and a smaller shop selling all basics around the corner. It is a 15 minute flat walk to the beach and harbour area from where you can take a boat trip. A bus runs frequently to the beach and the local shops at Coral Bay. Paphos Airport is only 15 km away.
I own the apartment and I love spending time there as is the perfect place to escape to enjoy the space, wonderful food and drink, and fantastic weather.
Kristian Melgaard purchased this apartment in 2009
I wanted an apartment which was new, modern and in a fully maintained resort, but also with a lot of space, light, a pool and close to the beach as well as shops and amenities. I also wanted somewhere close to the centre of Paphos, with easy reach to all the bars, shops and restaurants, but also which would be quick and easy to get to by car, taxi or public transport.
Great communication with Kristian and the apartment was easy to find. Good size with access to the pool. Added extra to have the washing machine. Not too far from town an easy 5-10 min walk. Would reccomend!
For a Studio this apartment was spacious with plenty of storage and wardrobe space (important in a girls life). It was very clean, however in order to clean myself something in the cupboard
The apartment was clean and spacious, and had good facilities. The beds were comfy and the air conditioning was a godsend at night! The balcony was a great sun trap in the afternoon and evenings, and there were plenty of chairs for having friends round. The pool area was clean and well-maintained. The complex itself was very quiet, and seemed to cater more for families and locals than for noisy holiday-makers, which was a real plus as we had been worried about being kept awake at night. Sitting on the balcony at night, you can just hear the music from town, but it is not loud enough to be a disturbance.
There are 3 small kiosk supermarkets around the complex, where you can buy essentials, and also a large carrefour at the King's Park Mall, which is about 15 minutes walk away. The harbour and bars are also a 10-15 minute walk away.
One thing I would say is that taxi drivers seemed to have a bit of trouble finding the complex so it may be worth printing a map of the surrounding streets. Also, there are no restaurants in the immediate area, but it is only a short walk down into the tourist area where there are more than enough to choose from.
I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this apartment.
The property was lovely and clean on arrival and the communal facilities were fantastic, especially the pool area. The cooking facilities were excellent, you could cook everything you wanted to. The book with previous travelers comments in was a very nice touch and very helpful in finding our way in to Paphos town. There were a few minor issues we noticed, the first was the chest of drawers in the apartment were broken and not usable, but the wardrobe was plenty big enough to fit all of our clothes. The only other thing was that the hairdryer was two pin and we could not find an adapter in the apartment.The other issue was that the majority of the sunbeds around the pool area were broken, which made the sunbeds in short supply on busy days. Other than these minor issues, we had a fantastic stay! The apartment is in an excellent location and we can not wait to stay again. I would also like to add the owners were very helpful and cooperative and really made our stay straightforward. Thanks.
Paphos is located in the South west of Cyprus. It is an all-year-round holiday resort with around 340 days of sunshine per year, and a continual vibrant atmosphere. The whole area remains open throughout the year.
It is very cultural with many restaurants offering international cuisine. However, the amazing Cypriot cuisine here is by far the best, try a meze - it's amazing, up to 25 small courses of typical greek cuisine, either fish or meat or even both if you prefer.
Visit the nearby villages to see traditional Cyprus, the locals attending their daily chores, or the cosmopolitan Limassol, Larnaca and our capital Nicossia. Take a drive up to the Troodos area, passing through the sleepy villages on the way. Or maybe a trip to the buzzing Ayia Napa in the summer months is of interest.
The development is ideally located within easy access of Paphos Harbour area, Bar Street and the old town is just a short trip away.
if you choose to hire a car then there are plenty of nearby villages to visit, to see the idyllic Cyprus. We can assist with this if you wish.
Paphos as a resort combines luxury with old world charm. There is everything to suit people's taste, such as : Bars, restaurants, shops and tavernas, the island's traditional Greek character has been preserved.
There are many local attractions and activities you can do within Paphos whatever you age. An abundance of sporting activities from the ever popular water park to paint balling. More tranquil persuits include horse riding, or ambling through the relics and historical sites in the region.
The Tomb of the Kings is only a short bus ride away, ideal if you like the historic part of the island. There is a good collective of monasteries throughout the island too. Paphos hosts an amazing waterpark, close by the paintball park, go karting, and even mini golf ideal for a fun family day out , bus 10 ,11 or 15 . Coral Bay beach is only 15 minute drive or bus ride with yet more stunning beaches, bars , shops and restaurants.
The harbour area is not far away and can be easily walked too, however a taxi is not too expensive if you do not wish to walk. Once there it is a very pleasant area to amble around or just sit and look out to sea. From here you can take the coastal path for a good walk towards Tomb of The Kings, or head towards the larger hotels where their beautiful gardens come right down to the beach side. Most hotels are happy for you to uses their facilities if you buy a drink or two!
By Car, leave Paphos airport and at the end of the airport road turn left towards Paphos. Follow road all the way along past the American Academy school, through Yeriskipou and to the big island where you will see NEXT and DEBENHAMS on your right. Take first left off island and at first set of traffic lights turn right. Take second turning on left. Take third turning on right, follow road to end, and then turn right. The complex is in front of you. Enter to the left hand side, then each block is as follows D1,B2,A3,B4,A5,B6,A7,B8,C9 and B10.
By Bus, the route 603 bus stops right outside the complex.

Arg, putting together a bike is one headache after another! I am trying to replace a 7 speed cassette with a 9 speed cassette, and now the 9 speed cassette doesn't fit on the freehub!!! What do i do?!?!?!??!?!!
Arg, putting together a bike is one headache after another! I am trying to replace a 7 speed cassette with a 9 speed cassette, and now the 9 speed cassette doesn't fit on the freehub!!! What do i do?!?!?!??!?!!
7 speed to 9 speed? on the same hub?
The spacers for the cogs would need to be narrower,
and I don't know if a 7speed hub can take a 9 speed
any of the real wrenches know ?
Sono più lento di quel che sembra.

No, you can not put a 9-speed cassette on a 7-speed hub. Sorry.
You can, however, put 8 cogs of the 9-speed hub on. That's the best you can do.

(techinical questions gladly answered via AIM)
So i essentially need a new hub? *sigh*
You could go through the hassle of replacing the freehub body, but then you would mess around with spacing, blah, blah, and blah.
Yes, get a new hub, or wheel for that matter! Much easier!
However, how are you going to shift gears on a 9-speed cassette with a 7-speed shifter? Do you have 9-speed compatible ders, or a 9-speed chain? Crankset?
It might be worth your efforts to buy a 9-speed bicycle...
I already have everythign else for a 9 speed bike, Shimano XT rear der, LX crank, LX cassette, XT chain, LX shifter set. Because the hubs aren't labeled "9 speed hub", "8 speed hub", i just assumed my old one would work.
Your best shot is to use 8 of the 9-speed cogs, with the 9-speed spacers, the 9-speed chain, and the 9-speed shifter. (You can use either the 8-speed or the 9-speed rear derailleur.) I believe Sheldon Brown mentions this option in one of his websites.

VA tests meditation as PTSD treatment
Monday - 5/7/2012, 9:17am EDT
The Department of Veterans Affairs is testing the effects of transcendental meditation on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, reported The Washington Post.
Final results of the trials won't be available for another year, but VA Deputy Decretary W. Scott Gould said he was "encouraged" by the initial findings.
An independent study on Iraq and Afghanistan veterans at Norwich University showed a 50 percent reduction in post-traumatic stress after only eight weeks. The VA is now spending about $5 million on a dozen more trials. Transcendental meditation is a type of meditation where practitioners recite a mantra for 15 to 20 minutes.

N. Korea rocket 'provocative' – US, Philippines
More News from Agence France-Presse
MANILA, Philippines – Long-time allies the United States and the Philippines on Thursday blasted North Korea's "provocative" rocket launch as a threat to regional security and pledged to strengthen their military ties.
In a statement following bilateral talks attended by top diplomats and security officials, the two countries vowed to boost cooperation in the wake of Pyongyang's move.
They agreed to bolster joint efforts relating to maritime security, disaster response, law enforcement and cyber-security, and non-proliferation (of nuclear weapons), the statement said.
"The two sides also strongly condemned… (the launch) utilising ballistic missile technology and emphasised that this highly provocative act is in direct violation of relevant UN Security Council resolutions," the statement said.
"Given this current threat to regional security, both sides will strengthen and increase their close alliance coordination," it said.
The meeting was attended by US Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell, Assistant Secretary of Defense Mark Lippert and their Filipino counterparts Erlinda Basilio and Pio Batino.
The US considers the Philippines a major non-NATO ally in the Asia Pacific region, where Washington had earlier announced a strategic shift of its forces.
Filipino officials have previously said they hoped the Philippines could play a key role in that pivot, with a former US naval base north of Manila already increasingly accommodating American carriers and submarines.
The meeting also came at a time when the Philippines, along with other Southeast Asian countries, was embroiled in an increasingly tense territorial dispute with China involving territories in the South China Sea.
Washington had earlier warned China against its perceived aggressiveness in staking out its claims.

Report: Beckham offers Miami MLS managerial job to David Moyes
Jun 8, 2014, 8:06 PM EDT
According to a report in the Sunday Times, David Beckham wants to bring David Moyes to Miami.
Still without a stadium, the English legend is hoping to secure Moyes before another club can snatch him up, with the former Everton and Manchester United manager publicly wishing for another shot at the Champions League.
Beckham, who oddly enough played with Moyes briefly at Preston North End when Becks was just a 19-year-old Manchester United loanee, is obviously looking to compete with the star power being brought in by the other expansion clubs.
New York City FC officially snatched up David Villa as its first player, and Frank Lampard is rumored to be following him to the Big Apple. Orlando City FC is rumored to be hot on the trail of Brazilian players Kaka and Robinho.
However, failing to make an impact in 10 months at Manchester United, Moyes is hoping to prove himself again on the European stage, and it will be a tough sell to bring the Scottish manager to the United States.
Beckham's Miami franchise won't join Major League Soccer until 2017.
- boroteesside - Jun 8, 2014 at 9:04 PM
"and it will be a tough sell to bring the English manager to the United States"
I hope Kyle Bonn isn't being paid for these reports?!
- mdac1012 - Jun 9, 2014 at 8:45 AM
I think he meant it would a tough sell to Moyes, to get him to come to MLS. It would be a coup by Beckham to get a manager with that much Premier League experience to come to the U.S. It's not going to happen though, it would be viewed very negatively in England and any hope Moyes has of landing a big European job would probably be over if he took a job it what is considered a minor league as compared to Europe.
- michael03m - Jun 9, 2014 at 7:04 PM
Do you disagree with that statement? David Moyes was the manager of Manchester United. Of course it would be a near impossible sell to get him to coach any MLS team.
- reformed2012 - Jun 8, 2014 at 9:24 PM
He will have a shot at the Champions League…. the CONCACAF version.
- nickp91 - Jun 8, 2014 at 9:42 PM
David Moyes would become the highest paid manager in the MLS
- boroteesside - Jun 9, 2014 at 12:20 PM
Has now been corrected… he is Scottish, not English!

Malware capable of stealing your banking credentials is being spread via links posted on Facebook pages. The New York Times reports an uptick in malicious links on popular and seemingly harmless Facebook pages such as NFL fan pages. Users clicking on malicious links may end up downloading the Zeus Trojan, a particularly nasty malware that waits until users navigate to Internet banking sites, then records their login information and transmits it to waiting cyber criminals.
Zeus has been suspected in a number of recent high-profile security breaches in Maine and across the country, including the 2009 breach at Patco Construction Company, which was the subject of a precedent-setting decision by the First Circuit Court of Appeals on who bears the loss when such a breach occurs.
Businesses should be aware of this issue because employees may unwittingly download malware onto computers used to access business banking accounts, and because businesses are not afforded the same protections as consumers in the event of cyber fraud.
There are a number of basic measures that employers, businesses and individuals can take to help protect themselves against banking malware:

A gang of four people were arrested by the Borivli police for allegedly cheating a mutual fund investment company (UTI) of Rs10.79 lakh after duplicating the documents of a Dubai-based girl.
The operation was carefully planned out by the main accused, Amjad alias Samir Khan (26), over a period of two years when he was working for the call centre of UTI Mutual Fund in Borivli in 2012.
Khan stole the data of a lot of account holders of the company using fake PAN card and kept a check on the activities of each account. He also learnt how to transfer and withdraw cash from each account. Khan learnt that Jilian Maria Korea, a resident of Dubai, had invested a few units to the tune of Rs 2.86 lakh in 2000 in the name of her 10-year-old daughter Jade Candice under Children's Career Plan. G Ghadke, police inspector of the Borivli police, said, "Khan observed that the amount had matured by 2012 to Rs10.79 lakh. He decided to prepare fake documents in the name of the girl and withdraw the sum. Since the girl became a major, there was a provision by which the documents had to be changed to indicate the transition from a minor's account to a major's account after which the amount can be withdrawn. He used two other accused, Deepa Mishra (33), and Jayshri Patel (44) for impersonation and forging," added Ghadke.
Meanwhile, Khan left his job at the call centre.
Khan prepared fake documents, voting card and PAN card in the name of Candice using Deepa's signatures and photographs. Patel's signature and photos were used to indicate Candice's mother. After producing the fake documents, they received a bank verification letter. On March 3, after the company received a forged letter in the name of Candice requesting for the transfer of the amount, the company transferred the amount online to the fake SBI account in Borivli, created by the accused.
On March 13, the amount was withdrawn by the three accused. A fourth accused, Rajiv singh (38), who helped in forging the documents, was also arrested,
The incident came to light when the girl inquired with the company about the account earlier this month. The company informed her that it was transferred based on her request. When the amount was not visible in the bank account also, a complaint was registered by the UTI Mutual Fund with the Borivli police. After investigations and checking the forged documents, the four were arrested last week.
"The main accused has managed to steal the data of many account holders. We believe he has cheated many more people in this manner. Investigations are on," added Ghadke.

Scottish Opera's management told the Musicians' Union (MU) that putting the orchestra on a part-time standing was one of three options the national company was considering to save money.
Loading article content
The other two, the MU said last night, were the orchestra being made redundant and being replaced by another orchestra in Scotland, and a third option, which was the orchestra being made redundant and being replaced with a freelance orchestra, which may have contained some former Scottish opera players.
Yesterday The Herald reported that the orchestra had reluctantly voted in favour of the part-time proposals, which will substantially cut their working hours and pay.
The management of the opera, led by Alex Reedijk, its general director, believes the orchestra is "under- utilised" and putting it on a part-time footing will save a significant proportion of the £2 million the company spends annually on wages.
In the 12 months from April 2011, the players will be offered 31 weeks' work and, from April 2012, a minimum of 28 weeks a year.
This move to a part-time orchestra comes six years after the loss of the company's full-time chorus.
Orchestra insiders believe the vote in favour of the management's proposals, which The Herald understands was carried by only three votes, was motivated more by "fear" of what a "no" vote would have meant more than any acceptance of the management plan.
Many musicians feared that if they voted "no", the company would turn to another options, and every player would lose their job.
Yesterday, Sheena Macdonald, the union's regional organiser, said many players had voted in favour of the plan because it was the "least worse" option.
"The feeling was that the proposal was unpalatable but the alternatives weren't palatable either," she said.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Sunscreens have been in existence for close to 100 years. The aim was to block ultraviolet (UV) light, the harmful rays of the sun. Sunscreens began with pasty zinc oxide that no one would use. Then scientists created sunscreens with clear chemicals that absorbed UV light. In 1944, Coppertone® became the first mass marketed sunscreen. Leap to now, when about a billion dollars' worth of sunscreen are sold each year in the United States.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130926/MN87168)
UV light causes skin cancer, in particular melanoma which is the second most aggressive cancer topped only by pancreatic cancer. UV light also prematurely ages the skin, so it's extremely important to avoid the sun as much as possible or protect the skin with sunscreen.
There are 17 individual sunscreen ingredients that are FDA approved: 15 of these are clear chemicals that absorb UV light and two are made of minerals that reflect UV light. Of these 15, nine are known endocrine disruptors. To be effective, chemical sunscreens need to be rubbed into the skin 20 minutes before sun exposure. They do a pretty good job at blocking UV light, but they actually get used up as the sun shines on them. In fact, some sunscreens lose as much as 90% of their effectiveness in just an hour, so they need to be reapplied often. This is not the case with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, the two mineral, or physical, sunscreens. These two work very differently – they sit on the surface of the skin and physically block UV light.
Chemical sunscreens don't sit on the surface of the skin – they soak into it and quickly find their way into the bloodstream. They scatter all over the body without being detoxified by the li

Google, Onix withdrawal protest of Interior cloud email award
Tuesday - 9/27/2011, 6:57pm EDT
Google and Onix Networking have dropped their protest of the Interior Department's contract for email-as-a-service. But it's not the end of a battle to provide cloud computing services that has lasted almost a year.
In fact, the situation becomes more intriguing as court documents are unclear about why Google and Onix dropped their lawsuit in the Court of Federal Claims.
"Based on the defendant's agreement to update its market research, a process that may include the issuance of a request for information, and then conduct a procurement subject to the availability of appropriated funds and in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation in a manner that would not preclude plaintiffs from fairly competing, plaintiffs respectfully move for dismissal of this action without prejudice," wrote the attorneys for Google and Onix in a motion filed Sept. 22.
The Justice Department lawyers a day later wrote to the court they didn't oppose the motion for withdrawal.
"However, in that motion, plaintiffs made reference to defendant's agreement.' Defendant, the United States, hereby provides notice to the court that defendant has made no agreement as represented in that motion," the DoJ wrote.
Repeated requests for comments and clarifications to Google, Microsoft and Interior have not been answered.
Judge Susan Braden has not yet ruled on the Onix/Google motion to dismiss, according to the court's clerks office.
Last October, Interior chose Softchoice Corp. to provide email-as-a-service and other collaboration tools in the cloud featuring Microsoft products for its 80,000 employees.
Onix and Google protested the $59 million award alleging Interior didn't hold a fair and open competition.
Judge Braden issued a stay on the contract and said Interior violated the Competition in Contracting Act in January. Braden was expected to make a ruling soon before Google/Onix decided to ask for a dismissal of the case.

Jones, 35, was arrested by the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department shortly before 4 a.m. ET, though the reasons weren't known. A 17-year veteran, Jones spent the first 12 years of his career with the Atlanta Braves. He won 10 Gold Gloves and made five All-Star appearances. After playing in 2011-12 with the New York Yankees as a backup outfielder, he signed earlier this month with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of Japan's Pacific League.

Hi i just came across this forum through a friend, and I have to say how excellent it is. I am a new buyer of a house and have tons to do. My first question of soon many to come is.. where in Toronto or York region area could i find a great selection of drapes. I have gone to a few of the usuals... Bed bath, homeoutfitters, but nothing has appealed to me. If anyone knows of any it would really help :) Thanks
Hi, Chany!
Some more places where you can find readymade drapery panels include:
- West Elm, visit westelm.com
- Restoration Hardware, Vancouver (604) 731-3918, Toronto (416) 322-9422, (416) 223- 2055 or visit restorationhardware.com.
Another option is to choose fabric that you like and have your drapes sewn for you. This is great alternative should you not find readymade ones that suit your space. A few places that we've listed in our Source Guide that do custom drapery sewing include:
Blinds, Drapes & Bedding, visit blindsdrapesbedding.ca
inVu Drapery, Toronto (416) 481-5273, Mississauga, Ont. (905) 828-2022, 1-866-572-2472 or visit invudraperyco.com. (They have readymade options available, too!)
NGG Sewing, Vaughan, Ont. (905) 739-1464
The Sewing Studio by Gail Leger, Toronto (416) 461-6683 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Rousseau's, Whitby, Ont. (905) 668-3483 or visit rousseaus.ca
- Starlight Drapery Workroom, Markham, Ont. (905) 479-5545 or visit starlightdrapery.com
Hope this helps! Let us know what you end up going with.
Chany:I have 66 windows in my building, and being a reasonable landlord, I felt that it was more appropriate for me to provide drapes on my apartment windows than either installing Venetian blinds (which can be problematic and constantly need adjustments), or have the tenants buy their own curtains or put up AC/DC posters and Confederate flags to serve as window coverings.I'd recommend you do the same thing as I did, and that is to open your yellow pages phone book to "Textiles" and phone around to find out who wholesales drapery fabrics in your area. Go down to those wholesalers, and get their advice on what they would recommend as a very durable fabric to make drapes out of.To get someone to make the curtains for me, I simply phoned up the places in my yellow pages under Sewing Machines, Sales & Service, and all of those places knew of women that sew in their own homes to make spare cash. I ended up having 75 pairs of curtains made in two different widths for $40 and $60 per pair. The places that made curtains retail were quoting me prices like $300 and $400 per pair!!!

SEATTLE, Wash. -- Mayor Mike McGinn ordered all city departments Friday to suspend advertising in Seattle Weekly due to the paper's connection to Backpage.com, an online classified ad site allegedly used for juvenile sex trafficking
Mayor McGinn fired off an email to his communications director Friday that displayed his frustration with the Seattle Weekly and its parent company Village Voice Media.
City Hall and the Seattle Police Department say they have proof, at least 4 cases of child prostitution are linked to the ads in just the past year. The publication says it screens as best as it can, and is willing to sit down with the city to explain what can be done to address the situation.
Both sides are scheduled to meet next week, so it is not clear what prompted the Mayor's move. But his email obtained by KING 5 News is clear. In it McGinn writes, I want you to have all the departments suspend their advertising in the Seattle Weekly.
The Mayor did indicate his mind is still open on the matter, but for now, the ads are out. I might change my mind after we meet with them next week, but for now I want everything pulled, McGinn wrote.

Bennett declined to provide a figure during his interview with TheStreet but said the company will have fewer employees a year from now. "It will be material," he said.
As part of its restructuring, Symantec has also created a new office of the CEO, with a small team of executives including its CFO and COO, making decisions with Bennett on a daily basis. Sales-geography leaders will report direct to the CEO, as well as the chief officers in areas such as IT, marketing and communications.
The company split its CEO and chairman positions this week, with the board electing director Dan Schulman to the position of non-executive chairman. Previously, Bennett held both roles.
Stifel Nicolaus analyst Todd Weller described the strategic overhaul as good for the company, citing a positive growth impact. Weller, however, expects limited upside for the company's shares in the near term, pointing to the risks involved in major organizational changes.As a result, Weller downgraded the company to "hold" from "buy" this week. The analyst noted that Symantec kept its focus on the same markets. "Likely to be viewed as somewhat surprising, Symantec is not making any significant changes (at least for the moment) with respect to its key market/product focus areas," he wrote in a note. "We feel very comfortable about the markets that we're in and the assets
