Buzzmaster (2:08 PM)
Curtis is a little delayed. He should be here in a few minutes, but keep sending in your questions.
Buzzmaster (2:16 PM)
The team's just finishing up a team meeting. He should be here in a few.
Buzzmaster (2:24 PM)
Curt's here!
Kevin: (Villanova, PA)
Curt - are you as explosive as you were before the injury? A lot of Villanova fans won't feel safe until we see you throw down a dunk like the one you had at Kansas a couple of years ago.
Curtis Sumpter (2:25 PM)
The knee is fine. There's no problems with it. I've been continuously working on it. It's been getting better than I've anticipated.
Steve, Norristown PA
What did you learn and how will you apply it to your game having watched a full season observing from the bench?
Curtis Sumpter (2:26 PM)
I just learned to become a more patient player. I learned the offense a lot better. I feel I can score more easily. Having a love and passion for the game has increased more than before.
Kyle, Springfield, PA
Curtis, With Foye, Ray, and Lowry gone what will life be like at nova without guys that you were close friends with. In some way do you feel like you're carrying the torch for your recruiting class, finishing what you all started?
Curtis Sumpter (2:27 PM)
It's kind of different. Not just them but the whole senior class being gone. Not just the basketball guys, but the football guys and others that I hung out with. I've had my fun in four years of college now.
Jamaal (Marlton, NJ)
Hey Curtis, thanks for doing this chat! Who was your favorite player to watch or emulate while growing up?
Curtis Sumpter (2:28 PM)
Grant Hill. He was a team player. It wasn't about the points. He was about going out there every night and doing what was necessary to win. He was just a good all around player.
Christopher, Avon, CT
Curtis - What game or match up are you most looking forward to?
Curtis Sumpter (2:28 PM)
No. I'm just anxious to get out there and play every game, regardless of what the game is. It's been so long.
Nick O., VU '05, Scranton PA
In the 'Impact 25' article, Doug Gottlieb doesn't seem to have much faith in you returning to the player you were two seasons ago. This seems to be the concensus among analysts. What is your response to the critics?
Curtis Sumpter (2:29 PM)
I really don't look at it. I hear people telling me. I just worry about playing my all. I know I'm just going to go out there and play my all. I've been working very very hard to get back there and I'm sure I will.
Knick or Nets? How about when the Nets get to Bkyln, any desire to get drafted by them?
Curtis Sumpter (2:30 PM)
Bob from Philadelphia
With so many terrific forwards on this team, could you see yourself getting some minutes at the 2-guard this year?
Curtis Sumpter (2:31 PM)
It looks like that's what's going to happen because we're so versatile. It won't be a disadvantage for us at all. I'm sure I'll get some looks at the two depending on how teams play us.
Andrew (Holbrook, ny)
Do you feel a lot better now that G-Mac is no longer in the big east?
Curtis Sumpter (2:31 PM)
No, those were some guys that I played. I wasn't able to play them last year. He's a very good player and everything. Overall he had a good career there.
Rich Gallina (NY)
Other then villanova who do you think is the best team in the big east now? since the draft took alot of talent away from teams like UConn, Nova and West Virginia.
Curtis Sumpter (2:32 PM)
I would probably say Louisville, Marquette and one more. . . Pittsburgh. Those are some of the good teams out there. Georgetown has the good forwards. The whole Big East is ridiculous.
Random Saint Joseph's (PA) Fan
Curt - Please go easy on my hawks this year. Please do not dunk on Pat Calathes too many times. Thank you.
Curtis Sumpter (2:33 PM)
I can't promise that.
Eric (NY, NY)
Curtis, Who do you see as the toughest matchup for you personally in the Big East? Which team is going to be the biggest test for you?
Curtis Sumpter (2:34 PM)
I really have no idea. Guys are getting better all the time. Guys are always trying to prove themselves. As for the biggest test, every game is going to be a test for us. There's no one game that's going to be a test for us.
Bob (Providence)
How hard was it to watch the team in the tournament last year, knowing that you could have impacted the games in certain ways?
Curtis Sumpter (2:35 PM)
It was definitely hard watching the tournament, because I wanted to be out there. It went a lot deeper than that, just watching the guys in practice. It was just tough watching. It didn't matter whether it was a tournament game or practice.
Curtis Sumpter (2:35 PM)
Thanks for chatting.

Bears cornerback Charles Tillman was recently in a Chicago running store to promote his charitable foundation when a math problem was handed to him that he did not particularly care for. It was not the numbers that bothered Tillman, but instead the scenario that was presented by this particular math teacher. According to a detailed outline of a story on Reddit that Deadspin broke down for us, a teenaged girl whose father owned the running store approached Tillman to show him a math problem that read as follows:
"The Packers play the Bears 4 times in two seasons. The Packers, being a much better team have an 80% chance of winning each game. What is the probability that the Bears win all four games? What is the probability that the Bears win at least one game?"
The problem was reportedly assigned by John Amrein of Round Lake Middle School, and Tillman was happy to give the young girl an autograph but couldn't resist putting the teacher in his place. He responded with the following (which is shown in the image above on the right):
Mr. Amrein,
This is Charles "Peanut" Tillman of the Chicago Bears and I'm shocked that you would have a problem like this for your students. The probability that the Bears would win in my opinion is 100%. Please do not and I repeat DO NOT send them home with math homework that is disrespectful to our team, city and our beloved Chicago Bears.
Your All Pro Corner
Charles "Peanut" Tillman
Geaux Bears
P.S. Bear Down
After handing the problem in to her teacher, the girl reported that Amrein found it hilarious. Either Tillman has a tremendously dry sense of humor, or the word problem actually made him angry. If I remember correctly, middle school and high school teachers just jotted down anything that came to mind when they put these word problems together. If I got hung up focusing on how stupid some of the problems were on my exams, I never would have finished in time. In the future, I bet Amrein presents the Bears in a much different light.

When is your next tax credits payment due?
Your tax credits payments are made every week or every four weeks, depending on what you chose when you claimed. If your usual payment day falls on a bank holiday, you'll get your payment earlier than normal.
How to check when your next payment is due
Your award notice tells you the date of your first payment. So you can use this to work out when your next payment is due - depending on how often you're paid.
Another way to find out is to look at your bank statement to check the date when your last payment went into your account.
Bank holiday payment dates for 2015
From time to time, your normal payment day may fall on the same day as a bank holiday. This means you'll get your payment a few days earlier.
It doesn't matter whether you live in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. If there's a bank holiday anywhere in the United Kingdom, you'll still get your payment earlier.
The table below tells you which payments will be made early, and when you should get paid.
|Due Date
|Payment date
|17 March 2015
|16 March 2015
|18 March 2015
17 March 2015
England Scotland and Wales Only
|3 April 2015
|2 April 2015
|6 April 2015
|2 April 2015
|4 May 2015
|1 May 2015
|25 May 2015
|22 May 2015
You haven't received your payment
If you haven't been paid you should double check your bank account. Sometimes electronic banking systems aren't completely up to date. It's possible that your payment is in your account, but not showing on your statement just yet.
Or it could be that you've recently moved and haven't told the Tax Credit Office your new address. If the Tax Credit Office can't contact you, they may stop your tax credits payments. You can prevent this from happening by letting them know in good time if you change address.

Several prominent Jewish men appear on Forbes' latest list of the world's most powerful people, including the Israeli prime minister.
Ben Bernanke, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, was ranked at No. 8; Sergey Brin and Larry Page, co-founders of Google, ranked No. 22; New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg came in at No. 23 and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came in at 24.
"As leader of an undeclared nuclear power, Netanyahu remains the biggest menace to Iran's nuclear ambitions," Forbes said of Netanyahu. "The people on this list were chosen because, in various ways, they bend the world to their will. They are heads of state, major religious figures, entrepreneurs and outlaws."
The list had 68 names. The No. 1 spot was captured by Chinese President Hu Jintao. President Obama came in second. Osama bin Laden was ranked No. 57.
Other Jewish businessmen on the list include Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, ranked No. 40, and Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, at No. 42.

Alric Arnett
West Virginia Senior
PROS: Has good speed with the ability to stretch defenses. Has good hands and does a nice job securing the ball before turning upfield. Has a quick first step upfield and has potential to be a factor after the catch. Gets a nice release and finds soft spots underneath, and works best on the short, quicker routes.
CONS: Will have some lapses in concentration and does too much body catching at times. Has a thin build and needs to get stronger. Not a factor as a blocker.
OVERVIEW: A former JUCO transfer that was a two-year starter. Was the No. 2 option in the air to Jock Sanders, but was more of a traditional receiver. He's got the size and speed to be an impact player on offense.
NFL FORECAST: He's not going to be a guy that is going to impact right away. I think he's going to spend a few years working off the bench. But he has the potential to be a capable No. 3 wideout down the road. I think he's giong to have to get stronger, and as he'll be working on the bench he'll need to show some ability to contribute on special teams. I also think that he'll have to learn how to run better routes, since he wasn't really asked to run a lot of traditional routes at West Virginia since their offense was very limited. I think his growth potential was probably stymied by the WVU offense and the fact that he didn't have the most accurate guys throwing to him (Jarrett Brown and Pat White). So he might be a bit of a late bloomer, but if he takes to quality NFL coaching he should be able to blossom. I don't see him as a starter, but he could be a nice third slot option for a team.
ATL FORECAST: If he can impact early on special teams, then he has a chance to stick in Atlanta. He doesn't have the great potential to be a critical factor as a receiver, since he's not likely to overtake Douglas or Jenkins. But he could be a solid No. 4 guy here in Atlanta, and if he can contribute on special teams, then he could work very well in that role.
VALUE: Arnett is a nice middle round pick, that would be a reach if he was taken before the fifth round.

Patriots get on the board in free agent by signing... Niko Koutouvides? - 0 Comments
The Patriots are finally on the board in free agency... kinda.
At some point recently, the team re-signed special teamer Niko Koutouvides, according to the NFLPA contracts database. He just popped up today, which means the contract was on the books earlier.
It's the Patriots first move of the free agent period, sorta, and it's expected. The 30-year-old Plainville, Conn., native who attended Purdue arrived in New England midseason.

Altering recipes to cut fat, salt a quick fix without losing taste, experts say
SATURDAY, Nov. 22 (HealthDay News) -- You can eat healthier this holiday season by altering recipes and making good food choices, say experts with the Texas AgriLife Extension Service.
Holiday cooks can reduce the sugar, fat or salt content of almost any holiday recipe without a noticeable difference in taste, nutrition specialist Mary Bielamowicz said in a news release.
"If a recipe calls for a cup of sugar, use two-thirds of a cup," she said. "If it calls for a half-cup of oil, shortening or other fat, use one-third cup. And if a recipe says to use one-half teaspoon of salt, use one-quarter teaspoon or omit the salt entirely."
Another way to make holiday recipes more healthful is to substitute whole-grain or bran flours for recipes calling for all-purpose flour, Bielamowicz said.
"In most instances, you can replace one-quarter to one-half the amount of all-purpose flour you see in holiday recipes with whole-wheat flour," she said. "Or you can substitute oat bran or oatmeal for one-fourth of the all-purpose flour used."
Test modifying more complicated recipes yourself before serving them, as the changes may not result in the texture or flavor you want, Bielamowicz said.
"Holiday meals don't have to be high in fat or calories to be tasty," said Dr. Connie Sheppard, AgriLife Extension agent for family and consumer sciences in Bexar County. "But low in fat doesn't always mean low in calories, so you have to consider both."
For example, reduced or non-fat dairy products can be substituted for higher-fat counterparts, she said, while evaporated milk can be used as a substitute for cream.
Sheppard also suggested steaming or roasting vegetables with low-fat margarine or sprays on them instead of butter. Defatted broth also works in place of butter in mashed potato recipes to reduce fat

holy fuck I haven't been on here in so long...
I'm from Narrows Island, Gotham City. My mental health is a concern in my mind at least. I think I'm not actually human. I obsess over fictional murderers and watch GCN broadcasts like they're real. Yeah, I'm weird. I think the sane are the insane and the insane are sane. People like that are more fun anyway.

I'm sure I would've posted this even without Bortone's investigative reporting of Raul "Roid-Uuul" Ibaテδアezテ「竄ャ邃「s Ed Hardy tiger shirt.
The Rays Renegade has been all psyched about the Western theme dress code for the Devil Rays latest road trip to the far western cities of Denver and Flushing.テつ And now thanks to The Rays Revolutionary's tweeting we have photos from the facebook of Sun Sports/Fox Sports FL.テつ So please tell me what exactly Evan Longoria is wearing?
Did E-Love buy that just for the themed road trip or was that actually in his closet?テつ More importantly are those supposed to be hats or boobs?テつ And the nice folks at Sun/FSFL were too lazy to caption these, but I'm pretty sure that's Pat The Bat Burrell in the flannel and Matt Garza in the shades.
After the jump lookit what David Price is sporting….
In Price's defense, dude did go to college in Nashville, so I assume that Cam Martin has some similar outfits from his Vandy days.
And I'm not sure exactly who this is, but I do know I once owned a shirt just like his.
(Last Fourth of July I opted for the subtler Sean Taylor NFC Pro Bowl jersey.)
Check out even more photos, including ones of TMOTMCC James Shields, Jason Bartlett, and TFC Dioner Navarro, in Sun/FSFL's facebook photo album.
It's Gabe Gross, power hitting backup outfielder, in the loud American flag shirt. He's a former Auburn QB and a buddy of mine.
Matt Garza looks WAY too pleased with himself. I am both repulsed and oddly drawn to this. I don't know what this says about me, but I am frightened.

As hip hop became a global phenomenon, celebrities who made their names in other fields were drawn to capitalize on the culture. And although there have been both one-off and serious efforts at rapping, we've taken a look at some of the ones that we almost couldn't believe were true.

The Hollywood Bling Finger Watch
Every day, some star pops up lugging around a ten carat diamond ring
on their left hand, and then spends the rest of the week having their
people deny that the ring is anything besides "just jewelry." But why
not just take the (pre-nupped) plunge and get engaged, you sweet, screwy
Tinseltown couples? We all know what's comin' your way eventually!
Below we break down the latest couples to make a blip on the ring radar this week and rate their chances of real engagement bling action.
Couple: Jay-Z & Beyonce
The rumor's out the the most powerful
man in hip hop (and possibly the entire music world) popped the
question to his queen B on a "romantic getaway in Cannes." Sources say
that Hova has promised her "the biggest diamond she can fit on her
Blingability: 2 carats. This rumor's been going around for
years. And besides, he's JAY-Z, he would've shown up with a rock the
size of Pluto and done it right.

Keep in touch, Whataburger
Most parents fondly remember when their kids were small and they called spaghetti "buh-SKET-ty." South Texas kids grow up with another of those -- Water Booger.
As much as the folks at Whataburger may not like to hear it pronounced that way (and as likely as I am to hear from them about it), it's a measure of the home-grown chain's place in our culture (so take the free gift of a new marketing gimmick in good grace).
It's why we can relate to the hurt felt by a longtime resident who told business writer Fanny S. Chirinos that he grew up eating Whataburgers but will boycott them, now that the corporation is moving to San Antonio, just like he did H-E-B when the grocery chain made the same move in 1985.
It's also why his act of defiance will have about as much effect as it did on H-E-B. In fairness to both corporations, it should be pointed out that Whataburgers will continue to be eaten in large numbers here for the same reason H-E-B keeps expanding here -- because both are pretty good at what they do. There are alternatives to both. It's just that the bigger competitors aren't as good and the good ones aren't big enough to matter.
And there are other issues besides the product. At both businesses, I encounter cheerful, helpful employees who appear happy to be at work. At a place where the work involves deep fryers and hot grills, that's saying a lot. At my neighborhood H-E-B, teen baggers of many years ago are still there, in positions of greater responsibility such as in the pharmacy or in supervisory roles. It's hard to spot top managers because often they're the ones bagging your groceries. None of these people are there for lack of options.
As an expatriate, H-E-B has set an example we can only hope Whataburger will follow, as it more or less has promised. The examples that come most immediately to mind are H-E-B's annual Feast of Sharing Christmas Eve free dinner for everyone and its Excellence in Education Awards, where cash awards are given to teachers and principals to use at their schools.
Whataburger, whose name is prominent on the local minor league baseball field, pledges to continue a legacy of corporate giving locally in the city where members of Whataburger's founding Dobson family grew up, and where members of the H.E. Butt family grew up.
As for how we feel about their move to San Antonio, we can be angry and judgmental toward the companies. Or we can blame ourselves and our local leadership. Or we can look on a map, as both corporations did for a long time before going through with their moves, and we can notice what they noticed, which is where San Antonio is on that map. And we can notice the interstates going through that city, and in which directions, as did H-E-B and Whataburger.
And we can find ourselves on the same map and be realistic about our potential as the now-and-forever central corporate headquarters for an enterprise such as H-E-B, or Whataburger.
And as we notice the disadvantages of that location, we also can notice the advantages and direct our economic efforts accordingly. I could point out a few obvious ones (port, bay, beaches, bigger deer), but I won't. I'm no economist, I'm no entrepreneur and I'm not the chamber of commerce. I'm just a Corpus Christi boy still happy to be here.

I was just thinking about our Disneyland trip in September. My husband and I are still arguing about whether or not we should get a guest services pass with the compromise that we don't have to use it for everything. I say no it's not worth it because I've been enough times to know how things work in Disney. He says let's just try it. My family has Disney Vacation Club so I've been to Disney what should be an illegal amount of times. I know several of you are interested in using the pass if you ever go to a Disney park. Would any of you be interested in me doing a post about how our trip was with with the pass when I get home and if we had any issues, if it was helpful, etc? Of course this is still like 2 months away but I'm really excited to go back.
I'm going to make a poll because I'm bored and I want to. Please only vote once.

Press release from PR Newswire
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. Announces 2011 Second Quarter Financial Results
Thursday, August 11, 2011
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. Announces 2011 Second Quarter Financial Results19:33 EDT Thursday, August 11, 2011 OAKVILLE, ON, Aug. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (TSX: AQN), today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, with results showing increased revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") and earnings compared to the previous year. Financial Highlights: For the second quarter of 2011, revenue was $66.8 million as compared to $42.0 million in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in revenue over 2010 is primarily the result of a subsidiary of Liberty Utilities Co. ("Liberty Utilities") acquiring a California-based electricity distribution utility and related generation assets ("CalPeco") at the beginning of 2011, increases at the end of 2010 due to the results of rate case approvals for revenue increases in Liberty Utilities water distribution and wastewater treatment business, and the Energy-from-Waste facility being operational as compared to the same time last year when it was undergoing repairs. For the first six months of 2011, APUC generated revenue of $138.5 million as compared to $87.1 million in the first six months of 2010. Adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA") was $28.2 million in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to $18.7 million in the second quarter of 2010. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily related to the acquisition of CalPeco, increases due to the results of the rate case approvals for revenue increases in Liberty Utilities' regulated water businesses, and improved hydrology at Algonquin Power Co.'s ("APCo") hydroelectric facilities. APUC generated Adjusted EBITDA of $55.1 million for the first six months of 2011 as compared to $36.6 million for the first six months of 2010. APUC reported net earnings in the second quarter of 2011 of $7.3 million or $0.07 per share as compared to net loss of $2.5 million or net loss of $0.03 per share for the second quarter of 2010. For the first six months of 2011, APUC reported net earnings of $12.3 million or $0.11 per share as compared to $1.1 million or $0.01 per share for the first six months of 2010. APUC reported adjusted net earnings of $8.3 million or $0.07 per share in Q2 2011 as compared to adjusted net earnings of $0.2 million or $0.00 per share in Q2 2010. APUC reported adjusted net earnings of $13.5 million or $0.12 per share for the first six months of 2011 as compared to adjusted net earnings of $3.1 million or $0.03 per share for the first six months of 2010. Performance, Operational, and Growth Highlights: In the second quarter of 2011, APCo's New York and Western regions experienced resources significantly higher than long-term averages, producing approximately 15-20% above long-term average resources. The New England, Quebec and Manitoba regions experienced resources approximately 5-10% above long-term average resources. The Maritimes and Ontario regions experienced resources approximately equal to long-term average resources, while Saskatchewan region experienced resources of approximately 5% below long-term averages. During the second quarter, the regulated water businesses owned by Liberty Utilities experienced revenue increases in both its water distribution and wastewater treatment business of 32% and 11% respectively. The increases are primarily due to the implementation of rate increases at several facilities and increased customer demand compared to the same period in 2010. During the second quarter, revenue generated by CalPeco from net energy sales totalled U.S. $7.0 million. As CalPeco was acquired on January 1, 2011 there are no comparable results for 2010. On April 29, 2011, APUC announced that it had entered into a strategic investment agreement (the "Strategic Agreement") with Emera which establishes how APUC and Emera will work together to pursue specific strategic investments of mutual benefit. The Strategic Agreement builds on the strategic partnership effectively established between the two companies in April 2009. As an element of the Strategic Agreement, Emera's allowed common equity interest in APUC will be increased from 15% to 25%. Also on April 29, 2011, Emera agreed to sell its 49.999% direct ownership in CalPeco to Liberty Utilities, with closing of such transaction subject to regulatory approval. As consideration Emera will receive 8.211 million APUC shares in two tranches. Approximately half of the shares will be issued following regulatory approval of the CalPeco ownership transfer and the balance of the shares will be issued following completion of CalPeco's first rate case, expected to be completed in the latter half of 2012. On April 30, 2011, APUC and Emera announced that they entered into an agreement to jointly construct, own and operate wind energy projects in the Northeast U.S. with First Wind. First Wind has a 370 MW portfolio of wind energy projects including five operating projects and two projects near operation. These assets will become part of an operating company of which First Wind will own 51% and, Emera and APUC through a separate joint venture ("Northeast Wind"), will own 49% of the operating company. Emera will initially own 75% of Northeast Wind and APUC will own the balance. Northeast Wind will invest a total of $333 million to acquire the 49% ownership of the operating company. On May 13, 2011, APUC announced that Liberty Utilities had entered into an agreement with Atmos Energy Corporation ("Atmos") to acquire their regulated natural gas distribution utility assets (the "Midwest Gas Utilities") located in Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois. Total purchase price for the Midwest Gas Utilities is approximately U.S. $124 million, subject to certain working capital and other closing adjustments. Liberty Utilities expects to acquire assets for rate making purposes of approximately $112 million, representing a purchase price multiple of 1.106x of the acquired rate base. As at May 16, 2011 APUC had redeemed all of the issued and outstanding Series 1A Debentures in exchange for 15,201,851 shares of APUC. Subsequent to the end of the quarter on July 25, 2011, APCo issued $135 million in Senior Unsecured Debentures. The net proceeds from the Senior Unsecured Debentures were used to repay the outstanding AirSource Senior Debt at the St. Leon facility and to reduce amounts outstanding under APCo's senior revolving credit facility (the "Facility"). The Senior Unsecured Debentures mature on July 25, 2018, and bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum, calculated semi-annually payable on January 25 and July 25 each year, commencing on January 25, 2012. Subsequent to the end of the quarter on July 26, 2011, APCo announced the execution of a 25-year power purchase agreement with Manitoba Hydro in respect of a 16.5MW expansion of APCo's existing St. Leon wind energy project. Permitting for the expansion project was completed in 2010 with construction expected to commence in the third quarter of 2011. The project is expected to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2012 with total estimated capital costs of approximately $29.5 million. In the first full year of production following commissioning, APUC anticipates generating annual gross revenues of $3.8 million. "We have continued to post strong year-over-year results due to the impact of the successful completion of our 2010 growth activities, including growth of our independent power business and expansion of Liberty Utilities", commented Ian Robertson, Chief Executive Officer of APUC. "2011 has seen a continuation of positive developments and momentum in our growth plans, supporting the recently announced dividend increase."

IT firm ACS was established in 1995 and has a turnover of £25 million. Working with Microsoft and Gap Consulting, it has developed a scalable, flexible customer relationship management (CRM) solution that's transforming communication across the
business. Built using Microsoft Dynamics CRM, it helps more than 120 ACS employees manage and share sales data and customer information. It's also providing new opportunities to integrate social media activities.
Business Needs
Before ACS engaged Gap Consulting around six years ago, the company was using a Siebel CRM system to run the customer-facing part of its business. Jon Thorpe, Managing Director at ACS, says: "We wanted to make changes as our business grew, but we constantly
ran into challenges. The cost of making changes to the platform was prohibitive and our implementation partner wasn't flexible enough in terms of the timescales we needed—it was slowing our speed of growth."
The company—which has a head office in Northampton, and further offices in Milton Keynes and London—needed a more flexible, customisable CRM system if the business was going to grow. Of the major CRM players—including Siebel and SAP—Microsoft Dynamics CRM
was selected for its ease of use, integration capabilities, and flexibility. In addition, ACS was a Microsoft Gold Partner and running its back office using Microsoft Dynamics, so Microsoft Dynamics CRM was an attractive option. It would give the company the
opportunity to take more ownership of changes to the platform. Microsoft introduced the company to three potential partners, and after some evaluation, ACS chose Gap Consulting for the project.
Microsoft Gold CRM Partner Gap Consulting worked closely with ACS to plan the implementation and minimise disruption to the business. "We can't allow downtime during the working day, so it all had to be planned carefully," says Thorpe. "The deployment was
completed over a series of weekends, put into a testing environment, and signed off before we went to the live environment."
ACS began to benefit from the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform straightaway, and employees found it easy to customize the system. "What Gap Consulting gave us after the initial installation was the ability to make changes ourselves," says Thorpe. "We couldn't
do that with our previous CRM system. It was also clear that we didn't need to be programmers to achieve the ongoing customisation and tweaks we needed to make in line with business growth."
Over the past nine months, the company has also worked with Gap Consulting to upgrade the platform to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, which has delivered a range of additional benefits. The Microsoft Dynamics solution is used by 120 employees across three locations
and is growing as the company grows.
With the flexible Microsoft solution, ACS can run all four of its businesses on a single CRM platform. This has helped the company maintain all its client relationships in one place, boosting cross-selling.
This easy access to a large range of sales data and customer information has transformed communication throughout the business. ACS takes the real-time reports produced by the SQL database and represents that information graphically via dashboards on plasma
screens around its buildings and on the iPad devices issued to all employees.
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has given us the ability to communicate much more effectively," says Thorpe. "From our CRM system, we can publish live statistics on performance, successes, sales pipelines—anything we want to highlight. I don't believe you can get
that ease of reporting and customisation from other platforms."
The latest step has been to use Microsoft Dynamics CRM to support the company's social media activities. ACS can access its data more easily and integrate it with social media, helping the marketing team run efficient campaigns. Similarly, salespeople are
able to monitor and respond quickly to what potential customers are saying about ACS on social media sites and use that to drive sales.
With Microsoft Dynamics CRM, ACS has created a scalable solution that's enhancing communication across the company. With easy customisation and integration of social media, the firm has an effective platform for the future. Thorpe says: "One of the best
things we've done is move to Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Microsoft Partner Gap Consulting has played a key part in helping us get maximum value out of it."
Easy scalability. The main objective of the project was to implement a system that was easy to manage and customise—and that would grow with the business. "Microsoft Dynamics CRM has given us the self-sufficiency to scale
our business," says Thorpe. "It's given us the tools to make changes as our business changes and made it easier for us to get into new markets quickly."
Increased efficiency. ACS now runs its four businesses on a single Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform. As a result, the company has full visibility of customer activity and can easily cross-sell
between the divisions.
Simple system customisation. Thanks to the easy customisation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, ACS can move forward with new communications projects. Chris Burton, Marketing Manager
at ACS, says: "The big win for me is the flexibility to be able to plug in all of the additional things we want to be doing in terms of mobility, dashboards around the building, and making the most of data visibility."
Valuable social media
integration. ACS is now using social media as an effective business tool. It monitors what prospects and customers are saying on Twitter, and pulls it into the CRM system so the sales teams can follow
up and convert that information into sales. The company uses Microsoft Dynamics CRM to manage its own content and news, and now staff can access and share it on social networks using their iPad devices.
ACS is comprised of four businesses: IT solutions, workplace furniture and interiors, cloud computing, and recruitment. It has been in the Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies to work for in the UK for the last three years.

Brown repeatedly said he wanted the focus of the day and the bowl to be on the players and not on him. His demeanor was no different than usual, even cracking jokes with first-year Ducks coach Mark Helfrich during their 25-minute joint news conference at The Club at Sonterra golf course in San Antonio.
After Brown left the podium, he greeted longtime Texas booster Red McCombs -- one of his closest friends and allies. And after Brown was ushered away by bowl reps, the San Antonio billionaire expressed his disappointment over the possibility that Brown's tenure might soon end.
"I think that Mack has earned the right to choose whatever he wants to do, whether he wants to stay or he wants to go," said McCombs, a former owner of the San Antonio Spurs. "If you can find a reason to get rid of a guy like that, you'd really have to reach."
McCombs, who has a statue at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, said he hasn't met Nick Saban but that he admires the Alabama coach. If Brown steps aside and Texas pursues Saban, McCombs believes it can get him and that cost won't be an issue.
"I don't think there's any question about getting him," McCombs said. "When Mack came there, budgets were an issue. They're not an issue now. Hell, all the money that's not in the Vatican is up at UT."
Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, however, told ESPN on Thursday that Saban "told me he's not leaving."
After the news conference, Brown boarded a flight to Beaumont, Texas, to visit five-star cornerback recruit Tony Brown.
After opening the season 1-2 with blowout losses to BYU and Mississippi, Texas rallied to start 6-0 in Big 12 play before losing two of its final three games, including a 30-10 decision to Baylor on Saturday in what had become a de facto conference title game.
While nothing officially has been announced regarding Brown's future with Texas, the school already has a short list of candidates to replace him. It includes San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.
No talks have occurred between Harbaugh and the school, sources told Mortensen, and no proposals have been exchanged. Harbaugh on Wednesday declined comment on reports he was on Texas' list.
Orangebloods.com first reported Tuesday that Brown will resign after 16 years as coach.
ESPN's Joe Schad and Brett McMurphy, ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen, and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A pinball is a small and almost always metallic sphere used in pinball games. The player hits the pinball around with flippers for the ball to hit or roll over things for points or even to complete pinball quests.
Whether it's worn for protection or style, helmets appear in various game genres.
Considered one of the most frequent and controversial implements of destruction in video games and real life, guns are devices that fire projectiles with explosive force.
These uniforms are what distinguish the athletes in the field of play. Fans often wear jerseys of their favorite sports athletes.
Cars go places. Hopefully fast.
A length of exceptionally sharp metal with a handle, used for centuries as the go-to killing device for the human race. It's dead simple: you stick the pointy end in the thing you want to die. Or you could always slash them with the equally sharp sides. That works too.
Usually put on face to either hide the users face or as a stylish item.
An explosive ordinance propelled by a rocket engine designed to blow an object to smithereens. A missile is often guided, in some way, to its target. For example; by laser, remote control, or computer/GPS.
Drop targets are objects on a pinball machine that when hit will drop below the table surface.
Sometimes, the only weapons you can trust are your bare hands.
A pistol is a very basic hand-held side arm, usually used in case of low ammo or tricky situations. They have appeared in many types of games.
Used in many a basketball game. Also acts as background item in certain games.
Machine guns, generally, are heavier weapons with a rapid rate of fire. To quote the Quake manual, they "eat ammo like popcorn."
Spandex, or "elastane" is an extremely form-fitting elasticated fabric invented in 1959. It has no special properties of durability, and is commonly used to create skin-tight clothing.
Often used as either a weapon or in a weapon and also used often times as a weather effect, lightning is seen in several games. Called "thunder" in some games, even though thunder is the sound that lightning makes.

A laser is a focused beam of light, invisible through the air without some other medium (such as smoke) to illuminate it. Lasers are often used in video games as part of a targeting system, or as an offensive weapon in their own right.
Traditionally, lightning is a form of electrical discharge originating within clouds. Within video games, lightning can be used as an offensive attack.
Helicopters are flying vehicles, typically with a single large main rotor to maintain lift with a tail rotor to counter rotation induced by this main rotor. They are useful in air to ground combat as well as for quickly inserting and recovering infantry close to the front line.
These things pop up in the oddest places. They're ostensibly for protection, although most often in non-football games it's just for aesthetic reasons.
A stylish and sometimes functional piece of headwear.
A tank is generally a heavily armoured and armed, tracked vehicle designed to be at the front of a combined forces attack.

As most of us know from personal experience, automotive human-machine interface (HMI) technology comes in a variety of flavors, ranging from "Difficult" (the best grade) through "Bad," "Extremely Frustrating" and "God-Awful" to "Give the Car Back."
A few years ago, it seems every car company hired a batch of tech-savvy software engineers, intending thus to duplicate Apple Apple's success with the iPad. The logic, eagerly picked up by the product planners, was, "Hey, if they love the iPad, they're gonna love the iPad-like HMI." There soon began the usual race to see who could be the first and most complicated, with the most scrolling layers, least intuitive actuation and most infuriating delays. This contest was handily won by Ford, who cruelly unleashed "MyFord" and "MyLincoln" on an unprepared public.
The customers and critics have not been kind to the two "My's."
And small wonder:
See, folks, a car is not an iPad. An iPad is a stationary device which is used for myriad new tasks per day. A car is mobile, and the things you do with the controls are repetitive, predictable and almost automatic. iPad-type touch screens to select routine functions like heat, cold, blower, radio tuning and radio volume are counter-intuitive, distracting and a gross misuse of technology.
Faced with a customer and dealer base that was growing surlier by the day and fast approaching mutinous, that Pioneer of Progress, the Ford Motor Ford Motor Company, today announced (drum roll, here) that due to concerns with "my Ford/Lincoln," Ford products would once again be fitted with RADIO VOLUME AND TUNING knobs!!
There you have it; Ford has once again boldly outmaneuvered its competition, this time with a dramatic "advance in the opposite direction." (Formerly known as "retreat.") But, if General Motors General Motors and Chrysler act fast, they can actually trump Ford by not only fitting volume and tuning knobs, but also adding back the much-missed trio of manual climate control knobs: heat, fan, outlet select. Then, with the screen freed up for its original navigation function, the fast followers could advertise " 'Intui-drive': easiest, fastest, most reliable vehicle controls on the market."
The world would little miss the inappropriately applied " technology" we're struggling with today.
We'd all happily be back where we started, and electronic HMIs would be dimly remembered, like a bad dream.

If you happen to be strolling along the Seine near the tip of the Île Saint-Louis in Paris this summer, you'll be startled by a strange soundtrack. Wheels rumbling, a steam engine sighing… But wait, could that be a train whistling?
And there, at the foot of the Institut du Monde Arabe (IMA), you'll see it: the mythical Orient Express, resurrected from storage and put on display as part of a museum exhibition called "Once Upon a Time the Orient Express." The vintage railway carriages are a throwback to the golden age of travel, when passengers dressed to the nines for a slow journey across the continent to Constantinople. First launched in 1883, the long-distance luxury train stopped serving Istanbul in 1977, then officially retired from service in 2007.
Judging by the curious crowds surging towards the locomotive, snapping photos with their smart phones, the train's reputation lives on to this day. This blockbuster event — staged by IMA in partnership with SNCF (the French national rail company) — is captivating visitors eager to catch a glimpse inside the original train.
And for serious bragging rights, food lovers can reserve a table at a pop-up restaurant inside the "Anatolie" dining car. This isn't your typical train take-out. At the helm is Chef Yannick Alléno, who pioneered the Terroir Parisien culinary concept while orchestrating the Michelin three-star restaurant at Le Meurice. Alléno champions the local growers and forgotton culinary heritage of the Paris region at his two popular urban bistros. For his latest venture, Alléno immersed himself in Orient Express history, studying archives and original menus. The resulting dishes are contemporary takes on the lavish feasts of yesteryear. Changing every two weeks, his menu pays homage to both the Orient and the Occident, and all the different countries traversed en route. Think famous Bresse chicken in vin jaune (France), parmesan soufflé (Italy) and a lokum-infused dessert from the Bosphorus (Turkey).
"In designing the menu, I wanted to respect the old chefs," Alléno explains. "When you look at what they served, it's stupefying. How could they make 40 soufflés on a moving train? So I said, 'Ok, we are going to make a soufflé.' I wanted to take the risk. They also prepared consommés [soup]. Imagine the chef in front of a charcoal-fired stove letting the soup simmer for hours! So I decided to build a menu around consommé [with lobster shell and locally-grown peas]."
RELATED: Eat like a local in Paris
SEE MORE: Four food tours of Paris
The food isn't the only showstopper. Carefully restored by artisans, the heritage-listed dining car is paneled with inlaid mahogany wood. Crimson curtains frame the windows, matching the color of the plush carpet. There are just 14 tables, topped with white cloths and vintage lamps. Above the leather chairs, ornate brass luggage racks stow today's designer handbags.
Diners kick off the soirée with an aperitif in the bar car. Part of the museum exhibit, the "Train Bleu" salon is kitted out with relics: a pipe and glass of port, vintage copies of Agatha Christie's mystery, a fur stole draped over a chair, a string of pearls and a gold cigarette lighter. On the wall — decorated with Lalique flower bouquets — a movie projection flashes Albert Finney, Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery and Lauren Bacall as Agatha Christie's fictional characters. The mise-en-scène is so perfect, you half-expect to see Detective Poirot investigating a Murder on the Orient-Express.
"It's a privilege to cook in such a place, charged with history. A legendary restaurant reopened to the public… everybody wants to eat there!" says Alléno. Indeed the restaurant has been such a hit that when reservations are open 15 days in advance, the tables book up within hours.
Bien sûr, an experience like this commands sultan-high prices. But it's a small price to pay for time travel… at least for a few unforgettable hours.
Reservations by internet only. Open for dinner Tuesday-Saturday nights until August 2014. Menu Anatolie priced at 120 euros per person, with a mise en bouche, appetizer, main course and dessert. The Menu Flèche d'Or, inclusive of an aperitif and three paired wines, costs 160 euros per person. Luxury caterer Potel & Chabot realizes the menus devised by Yannick Alléno.

I'm from Scranton but I'm living in Philly now, while I'm getting my masters degree in teaching. Someday I hope to live somewhere warm and near a beach. It's definitely hard to find someone when you move to a new area, so I thought I would give this a shot. I'm looking for someone who has some of the same interests and that I can really connect with. If you think that's you send me a message ;)

Better hockey major junior vs CIS

Just checked the U of S roster. Out of 28 players listed, other than the third-emergency goalie, only two of them (Matt Spafford, Jesse Ross) do not have major junior experience. That means 25 U of S Huskies have major junior experience. As it is with top Canada West teams like the Alberta Golden Bears, Manitoba Bisons and Calgary Dinos (and even the UBC Thunderbirds have some impressive former major junior grads), most of these guys are not former WHL fourth-line plugs. The Hockey Dogs have a bunch of former 30-goal and 20-goal scorers from the DUB, not just one or two. Most of these guys were top 6 F or top 4 D on their respective WHL teams and many of them were obviously good enough to be chosen as one of their team's three overagers.
If you really think that major junior teams would win over CIS teams like that (and I don't think they'd have much luck against the Regina Cougars or Lethbridge Pronghorns either), you are simply out of touch with hockey reality.
The only way this could happen is if a goalie did cartwheels and stood on his head.
AUS and Canada West teams, along with maybe the top half of OUA squads, would eat their lunch.
Historically, can you tell me of one major team which has actually defeated a CIS team in the past decade or so?

I'm glad you worked it out but I caution you against thinking that one line of code is overkill, right? URI is an excellent package (set of packages really) that is not going to surprise you or let you down on edge cases and you can see from the example how dead-simple it is to apply. This kind of OOP in straightforward/short code isn't overkill as much as it is applying standards and preparing for future growth; growth which visits short scripts much more often than intended.

With Greek tragedies filling major venues in London in recent months, I have been daydreaming about awarding my personal ancient Greek Oscars, to be called "Golden Nikes" (pedantic footnote: Nike was the Goddess of Victory, not of Trainers). There has been Medea at the National Theatre, Electra (Sophocles' one) at the Old Vic, and Antigone, just opened at the Barbican. There are yet more productions lined up for The Globe, Donmar and RSC.
The post The 'Golden Nikes' for Greek tragedy appeared first on OUPblog.

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Republicans will not agree to any new tax hikes to replace the sequester after a White House meeting on Friday.
Boehner said the House next week will move a resolution to keep the government funded through Sept. 30, but will not agree to any new tax increases that President Obama insists should be part of a package to replace the $85 billion in automatic spending cuts that begin hitting the government Friday.
"I did lay out that the House is going to move a continuing resolution next week funding the government past March 27, and I'm hopeful that we won't have to deal with the threat of a government shutdown while we're dealing with the sequester at the same time," Boehner said. "The House will act next week and I'm hopeful the Senate will follow suit."

Taylored Expressions February Spotlights: He is Risen and Whimsy Alpha Dies
It's February Spotlight day at Taylored Expressions. Today I'm using the He is Risen stamp set as well as a whole bunch of dies.
For my card I started with a Choice Snow White Cardbase and MME's The Sweetest Thing Tangerine paper (I know, I know… they make other paper but I have to ask the question… why use it if I really LOVE this paper pad) and this week's MojoMonday sketch. I stamped this sentiment from He is Risen and die cut it using the smalled Banner Stacklet 1 die and matted it on the next size up. To finish up I added a bit of twine thread (I know you are shocked) and a Prima flower. I'm thinking this card is going in the stash of cards that I'm building to send to my husband's great aunt. She just loves handmade cards and I always have a little stash going for her and send them off every once in a while.
For my second card I set out to use nothing but dies and I managed to accomplish it. I love cards like this… they are so clean and though not always simple. I really like the sharp smooth edges a die based card has.
I started my card with a Choice Snow White cardbase. I then used the new Circles Cutting Plate to die cut the background, again out of Choice Snow White cardstock. I then layered three different sizes of Banner Stacklets 1 cut from Authentiques Lovely paper pad. Next I die cut the 4ever from the Whimsy #'s and Whimsy Alpha dies. That little hearts are from the Cupid's Arrow die set. I spaced everything out with a little bit of foam tape.
Well that's it for me today! I hope you enjoyed this month's release! It's been a ton of fun! Be sure to check out what the rest of the Baker's Dozen has in store for you!

Each week, the writers of Grey's Anatomy do a blog entry about the show that just aired. You would think that the fans of the show would be grateful for this, but judging by this week's comments, you would be wrong. They are disappointed. They are angry. And they aren't going to take it anymore:
Angie writes, "I'm a little disappointed in the blog too. I've waited
all day to read it just for the insight as to WHY you people write the
episodes you do and all I get is what wonderful guests you had on. Yes,
Natalie Cole was GREAT as was the Veronica Mars dude, but I have
questions. Love the show – hate this week's blog."
- Shaneka writes, "This blog was a bit disappointing. There was no good
insights on the characters. I realllllly wanted to know why you decided
to have Meredith tell Derek about George with no explanation on how it
happened or why she did it. I love the writers of the show totally, but
this blog was awful. I mean seriously, the super bowl was a month and a
half ago."
- Lucie writes: Maybe it's just me but I would really love a better blog post than that. I wait every week to read it and then I get this? It offered no insight into the story and that is why I read this. Normally I recall the episode fondly and often laugh when I remember certain scenes but not this time. I just wish it would have been better. Maybe you could add more?
- Allison writes: Seriously, this is all you give us? There must be more. Let me just say congrats on making me hate George even more. I didn't think it was possible but I do. And I didn't think it was possible for me to love Meredith more than I already do… but turns out I do. I thought it was a good episode… but this is all you give us??!?
- anonymous writes: This blog wasn't as good as it usually is…no insight into the story lines…no reasoning as to why things were written the way the were…no subtle hints as to what may happen. All in all, it was a let down.
rainduchess writes: This is not the insightful blog I was looking for. Last night's episode was sort of shallow, and I was really hoping for something to make it understandable.
I am really disappointed.
- dacia writes: Seriously? No comment on if Derek was inspired to apologize to Addision because of the medical case? Or because Meredith asked if Addison knew they were friends? …And what about with George? He is spouting off that the hockey kid is crazy to go to the extreme of cutting something off because it hurts rather than deal with letting it heal. And yet he's doing the same thing with his relationship with Meredith. And instead, you blog about some show I don't know and about a game that was over a month ago? Seriously? I'm disappointed.
- Jo writes: Seriously? Nobody cares about the guest stars. Yes, they're talented, and yes, they make us laugh and cry, and yes, they help propel the plot. But the fact of the matter is, Natalie Cole and Mr. Veronica Mars are just Patients of the Week. And while I get that they're important, what I really want to hear about are the ten main characters that we've all come to know and love. Something to keep in mind.
This is a small sample of an endless stream of sadness.
