Strategic first in volume and units sold each year
While some agencies claim to sell the most real estate in Wichita Falls, for the fifth year in a row Multiple Listing Service (MLS) statistics show Strategic Realtors as the leading real estate company in the North Texas area in both dollar volume and in unit volume. John Caussey and John Wilson, and the agents and staff of Strategic Realtors are proud of this record. They also are proud to have been voted Texoma's Best Real Estate Agency for the fourth straight year in 2009 by readers of the Times Record News!
Caussey stressed, "A business is not better than its people and God has blessed us with many great sales agents that have made our company a success."
While some agencies compare their sales totals to individual agent's sales totals, that's like comparing apples to oranges. When you compare office to office, MLS records show Strategic Realtors has been number one every year since 2004.
From 2004 through 2008, Strategic Realtors sold real estate valued at more than $422 million. The second place agency sold approximately 323 million in that time period. During that time the agency sold 4219 units. The next best agency sold 2812 units.
While Strategic Realtors is the largest real estate agency in the area, Caussey noted, "Being the largest does not necessarily make you the best. The Wichita Falls area has many good offices and excellent real estate agents. We have worked closely with and have wonderful working relationships with other companies. More important than size is putting your clients' needs above your own, plus doing a great job with honesty and integrity."
Wilson added, "Agents must ask themselves if they can get their clients in a house they can afford and that meets the needs of their family. Truly caring about your clients means going the extra mile and doing whatever it takes, and working hard until you get the loan approved. Finding the right house to meet your client's needs and budget are all important attributes to being a successful real estate agent."
They both noted that a home purchase is often the largest single purchase that a family makes in their lifetime. "It's an important step and we are proud that our agents do the extra things to take care of their clients."
Because Strategic Realtors is the largest real estate agency in the area, the firm is able to offer a wide range of real estate services in addition to sales. They offer a true one-stop real estate sales and service experience from helping you find your dream house, offering expert marketing services, providing the insurance, the mortgage and having an in-house underwriter so that loan decisions are made right here.
Wilson added, "Besides residential sales, we also sell commercial real estate, farm and ranch properties, and do property management. In fact, we have the leading and most outstanding farm and ranch team in North Texas and Southern Oklahoma with a tremendous amount of experience."
Both Caussey and Wilson also are proud of Strategic Realtors' record of community activities. "You can't just take from the community, you must give back and since we opened this office, we have been contributors both in money and time to numerous worthy causes," said Caussey.
It is not unusual to attend an event and see Caussey along with other members of the Strategic sales team cooking hamburgers and providing free meals to event participants.
Among the numerous community projects that Strategic Realtors has contributed to with its time and resources are the Children's Home, Relay for Life, Alzheimer's Walk, Children's Miracle Network, Red Cross Blood Drives, Police & Fireman's Benefit, Pregnancy Help Center, Special Olympics, Food Bank, Kirby Junior High, Fain PTA, and Shriner's Children Hospital.
Wilson added, "We also are proud of our ties to Midwestern State University. Both of us and many of our agents graduated from MSU. We've also had numerous interns from MSU."
In addition to the Wichita Falls office located at 3800 Call Field, Strategic Realtors also has offices in Seymour, Bowie, Henrietta, and Brownwood.
In the Wichita Falls office of Strategic Realtors, in addition to owner-broker John Caussey and broker John Wilson, the staff of Realtors includes Kathy Adams, Peggy Baggett, Mike Bailey, Larry Barton, Dottie Berend, Ken Birck, Kevin Blassingame, Mary Brown, Lori Bussey, Cynthia Caldwell, Debbie Caussey, Wendy Crosley, Bill Crouch, Stoney Duke, Joan Everson, Virginia Gant, Teri Gibson, Shawn Huskisson, Rickie Knox, Peppre Martin, Dorothy Norseworthy, Kristi Norseworthy, James Norseworthy, Jamie Rice, Penny Riordan, Matt Robinson, Joseph Ross, Deanna Swenson, Linda Trotter, Debbie Valdata, Andy Wells, Debra West, and Andrea Womack.

continued "The 3 by Rolon was huge," Kent said. "That hurt."
WG and Nottingham played to a 17-17 standoff after one period. The second quarter featured plenty of turnovers, mostly by the Wildcats, and poor shooting, mostly from the Bulldogs. The difference was WG's shooting, which helped the Wildcats take a 29-21 lead at intermission.
Smith paced the Wildcats (6-5) with 18 points, going 11-of-12 from the free-throw line. Mike Henry dropped in 16 points. Brett Colvin and Shane Temara had eight points apiece. Rolon led the winners with 19 points as Marty Clanton added 15 points and Josh Ivey pitched in with nine points.
Throughout this winter, the Wildcats have veered between brilliant and brutal stretches of play, never staying in either place.
The Wildcats were enjoying one of those brilliant stretches, thanks to wins over Utica Proctor and Liverpool, when it hosted F-M last Tuesday – and found itself back in a darker spot in the wake of an 82-61 loss to the Hornets.
What happened here, essentially, was a repeat of the Dec. 28 consolation game of the Cicero-North Syracuse Holiday Tournament, where New Hartford used a barrage of outside shots to beat the Wildcats 73-68.
F-M, just like New Hartford, would make 13 3-pointers, 11 of them in a blistering first-half display that left the Wildcats in a 52-30 hole that it would not climb out of the rest of the night.
Since WG was playing well, F-M could not afford to look ahead toward Friday's highly-anticipated home clash with fellow Class AA favorite Henninger.
Fittingly, F-M took the lead for good early in the first quarter on John Schurman's initial 3-point connection. Six more successful shots from outside the arc would follow in wild 30-19 first quarter where the Wildcats also found some success penetrating the Hornets' 1-3-1 defense.
But with Jake Wittig pulling off a series of steals in the second quarter, F-M started to get away, continuing to strike with four more 3-pointers - two from Schurman, one each from Louis Avellino and Tomer Nesher.
By halftime, Schurman had 20 points (he would finish with 26), and try as it could, the Wildcats could not eat into that margin during the second half, despite 17 points from Henry and 14 points from Allen. Smith (nine points) and Temara (seven points) were kept quiet for most of the night.

HTC Twitter UpdatesMay 4, 2009 | Nick Gray+
It's not every day that HTC sends out a new Tweet. Today… they sent out three already. Rather than telling you what they tweeted, I'll just share their tweets with you. As we were putting in HTC's tweets, three more popped up. From the looks of it, HTC is planning on using their new Mac twitter desktop client quite a bit. If you want to keep up with all the chatter you can find them on Twitter @HTC
|15:40 For those asking about Touch Pro2 in the US. We have said it will be broadly available here, however we can't announce more just yet.
|15:44 The HTC Magic is just starting to ship. We can't say when of if it is coming to chine, new zealand, or your town. but it might be!
|15:45 can you tell HTC got a new desktop client for twitter today? here's hoping we'll be a chattier bunch from now on.
|15:59 for those asking about a new desktop client, it's a desktop not mobile. We can't have our phones buzzing all the time with your Qs
UPDATE: We sent HTC a tweet asking them what phones they are currently using. Apparently the HTC Snap and the Magic are the phone of choice (at least for those who are keeping an eye on the HTC Twitter account).
HTC to deploy non-smartphones by the end of the yearApril 7, 2009 | Nick Gray+
If reports from DitiTimes are to be believed, HTC has plans in place to release their first non-smartphone by the end of 2009. HTC started their business as a simply OEM for Windows Mobile phones. Over the past two years, they have transformed themselves into a leading brand and dominating the Windows Mobile marketplace and they are currently the only manufacturer to release an Android phone.
Though there are incredible profit margins in producing smartphones, HTC is missing out on a whole lot of money that's up for grabs in the feature phone segment. HTC's feature phones will most likely be based on Qualcomm's BREW Mobile Platform (BREW MP), which allows in depth Flash integration.
HTC's Q1 profits down 30%April 7, 2009 | Nick Gray+
Over the past couple years, HTC's revenue and profits have increased by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately for HTC, Q1 of 2009 has taken a hit. HTC's net profits came in at NT$4.89 billion ($148 million), down from NT$6.94 billion ($210 million) for the same quarter in 2008. HTC is not blaming the global economic downturn for the 30% drop in profits, but did note that the numbers could have been higher is they had not missed a few product shipping deadlines. HTC did beat most analysts estimates which predicted that profits for the quarter would come in at about NT$4.64 billion ($140 million). Check out the pull press release here (warning – pdf file)
With Q1 behind them, I'm sure HTC is looking forward to an incredible Q2. HTC is about ready to release the Touch Diamond2, the Touch Pro2, the Snap, and the Android powered HTC Magic. Lets just see what happens.
Sprint smartphone lineup leaked with a lot of HTCMarch 16, 2009 | Nick Gray+
Some leaked PowerPoint presentations have made their way onto the web which show Sprint's smartphone plans for the next few months. You'll notice that They were just able to squeeze in the HTC made Palm Treo Pro for Q1, but Q2 and Q3 also have some HTC goodness in the works. Sprint is planning on releasing the HTC Willow which will feature a full front QWERTY keyboard and most likely will be shipping with WM 6.1 standard. Before Q3 is over, Sprint will release the HTC Rhodium which seems to resemble the HTC Touch Pro2 quite a bit.
Court ruling could stop sales and imports of HTC phone into GermanyMarch 9, 2009 | Nick Gray+
This past weekend, HTC was dealt a huge blow, which could impede them from selling the HTC Magic (HTC's second Android powered phone) and any other handset. A German court just ruled that Qualcomm chipset used by HTC infringed on patents owned IP-com related to 3G radio technologies that allow HTC phones to connect to the internet. HTC is said to be working with Qualcomm to identity an alternative solution. In the mean time, HTC plans to appeal the court ruling which may buy them some time an allow them to launch the HTC Magic in Germany in April.
A few details we missedFebruary 24, 2009 | Nick Gray+
Ok, maybe we didn't really miss all these details, but simply mentioned them in passing. We went through HTC's press event again from last week and thought we'd share what came to light the second time through.
Push Internet: HTC announced that they will be offering push internet service with the Touch Diamond2 and the Touch Pro2. We are all familiar with push e-mail and how that works, but push internet is a new concept on cell phones. There's nothing revolutionary about how it works. Once you set the web pages you want to have pushed to your device, the web browser will download that page at a designated time. Later, when you open your browser, you simply pull up the page and it loads instantly from cache. A great use for this is setting up all your favorite news, blogs, or other sites to be pushed 10 minutes before you wake up in the morning. When your alarm goes off, your favorite sites will be waiting for you rather than you waiting for them to load. The concept and implementation is pretty simple. We're just surprised that no one has thought of this before.
People Centric Communication: HTC phones allow users to communicate with people in a variety of different ways. We send e-mails text messages, and make calls, but we always have to navigate to different apps to do so. Communicating this way isn't hard, but finding and sorting through them can be complicated. HTC's new people centric communication solution now integrates all your communications with your contacts. Simply navigate to your contact and you can easily access all the e-mail, calls, or text messages between you and that contact. Imagine being on the phone with someone and they ask you if you got their e-mail. In the past you would need to hit the start button and open your e-mail client. Once that was done, you would need to navigate though all your e-mails to find the right one. Now, while on a call you will see buttons on the bottom of the screen that can easily sort through all the communications from that person. This new feature is very similar to Synergy on the Palm Pre's new Web OS. It is very intuitive and should make you and your smartphone just a little smarter.
HTC 2009 handset lineup leakedJanuary 12, 2009 | Nick Gray+ | One Comment
We were expecting to wait till the GSMA Mobile World Conference next month before we heard any real news about HTC's upcoming new handsets, but someone on the inside either slipped up or decided to make every tech bloggers day. We have what appears to be a list of al the upcoming HTC phones for the entire year. A total of 25 different handsets. Unfortunately we do not have full specs on any of them, but pictures are a lot better than names by themselves. Unfortunately, we only have confirmation that one of the handsets, the HTC Hero, will be powered by Android. Everything else o nthe list should be shipping with WM 6.1 or WM 6.5 if it ever makes it to market.
Follow the link for the all inclusive "leaked HTC list" of their upcoming phones and their pictures.

Looking for something amazing
First of all I don't have a paid account so I can't talk to anyone, all I can do is wink lol. Sooooo until I decide to pay for it, you can look me up on face book if you'd like, my profile name is my name (without the number obviously) My names Phillip and I guess I would have to describe myself as a creative person who loves exploring and creating adventures. I am part owner of a video production company with a few colleagues, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't make much money currently with my business but it gives me the opportunity to be creative and not be constrained to the typical 9 to 5 day job. I like to change things often, and keep things interesting constantly....I guess I'm not really a "routine" type of person. My dream is to have our company become hugely successful so that I can continue pursuing my creativity through film. I LOVE to watch movies of all kinds. I also like to go hiking, exploring, play volleyball, just go for drives, ride bikes, pretty much anything that seems interesting at the moment. I can't say that I know exactly what I'm looking for, whether it be love, just a friend, or something else....but I'm pretty sure deep down everyone is look for love. But right now it would be nice to find someone just to have fun with, be comfortable with, and enjoy being around.... Submitted from mobile

Exporters' Pricing Strategies: the Case of Italy
Using Italian data over the period 1990-99, this paper estimates an export pricing equation along the lines traced in the Pricing-to-Market literature on exchange rate pass-through (ERPT). As compared to previous papers, we minimize aggregation and selection biases, by focusing on all destination markets (about 70) and all finely disaggregated products (700, according to the 4-digits of SITC). The results show a lot of heterogeneity. On average, ERPT is largely asymmetric: Italian exporters do not cut their profit margins and thus do not defend their market shares when the lira appreciates; they instead raise prices by about 30 per cent of the exchange variation after a lira depreciation. Distinguishing by markets and products, it emerges an incomplete ERPT in industrial markets and in the case of goods produced in "oligopolistic" industries (e.g., economies of scale, high-tech). The same occurs in those sectors where firms are on average larger and the evolution of productivity more favourable. In the traditional sectors (textile, clothing, shoes, etc.), and in the developing countries, where Italian presence is more fragmented, ERPT is almost complete and symmetric: this result may be due to entry-exit of small firms in those markets.

One was born in St. Louis, the other became a star there. Aside from that, Earl Weaver and Stan Musial were about as different as two Hall of Famers could be. ''Talk about your odd couple,'' said George Vecsey, the longtime sports columnist for the New York Times who wrote a recent biography of Musial. Weaver was a 5-foot-6 rabble rouser whose penchant for quarreling with umpires belied a cerebral approach to managing that has stood the test of time. Musial was a humble slugger with a funky batting stance who was beloved by Cardinals fans and respected by pretty much everyone else. Saturday began with news of Weaver's death at age 82, and by the end of the night Musial had died, too, leaving baseball to reflect on two very different but very distinguished careers. ''Earl was well known for being one of the game's most colorful characters with a memorable wit, but he was also amongst its most loyal,'' Commissioner Bud Selig said. Selig later released a statement after Musial's ...

Discussion: HELP---I just don't get it!
I haven't really paid attention to the spin of the ball off the bat but I will just say that both the balanced and the 13" barrel Dudley bats performed very well when I used them compared to other bats I have used. Maybe I should be worried more about what the spin was but I really only care about what the performance was that I experienced and how the bat feels to me when I swing it. I intend to swing Dudley in 2015.

JDub - Right on with that idea. The HR rules could change a lot if we didn't use those bats. It's crazy in Vegas when you think you popped up and a ball still goes out. That's just not the way it is supposed to be.
OZ40 - Sorry - not picking on you personally but there have been a few posts this year about coin flip issues and whether you should take home or visitors. I'm not concerned with us being home or visitors so I don't get wrapped up in the coin toss outcome.

Discussion: Suggestions for 2015
The home runs rules are good the way they are. We got bumped to major plus this year (which is fine) but it will put us at a disadvantage if the home run rules are changed because we are more about defense and we can control the bats when needed. We didn't hit our HR limit much last year at major so I don't see us hitting it next year in plus. If you can just hit it over the boards at will, it doesn't allow our defense to come into play as much. It wouldn't seem fair to bump us because of being successful under one set of rules and then change the rules that allowed for us to succeed. As for the comments about more balls going middle when teams are out of HRs, I just never saw that this past year. It may be because we play a five man infield but it just never happened.
I will send an email about the 1-1 count though. As an outfielder, it is frustrating when it's 100 degrees out and you watch each batter take so many pitches while your melting away. I'd rather play where you have to hack away.
The coin flip comments are pretty silly though...who cares who calls it and I still haven't seen any data showing home team wins more than visitors. It's who cares all around on that one.
Hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving!

Discussion: USA Championship seeding game
In Men's 50 Majors, Team USA won a 3 team tournament (East) and obtained the #1 seed in the brackets, which gave them a first round bye. They went on to lose their next 2 so they were 0-2 in tournament play.
Cornerstone won a 9 team tournament (West) and obtained the #2 seed. They went 3-2 in tournament play.
I did not see either team play so I cannot comment other than those are the facts for how they performed with respect to wins and losses. My opinion is that all of the teams that played were capable of beating any other team so who knows whether the seeding of those teams is reasonable or not. I'm sure the seeding benefit is used to try to draw teams to Eastern and Western championships which apparently didn't work in the East but weather may have been a factor there.

Discussion: Choosing Home team vs Visitor
I personally don't care when we play if we are home or visitor, each has advantages. I think it would be interesting to review the data from a tournament like the World Masters and see what that data says over that many games. My GUESS is that it wouldn't appear to make a difference over that many games but it would be very interesting to see what the numbers say.

Discussion: 1 and 1 pitch count
If I recall information in the newsletter a while back, the younger players wanted 1-1 count and older 0-0. How about 40, 50 and 55 play 1-1 and 60 and over play 0-0. I think your numbers supported that but I'd have to go back and check where the break actually was. If the age where the majority wants to use 1-1 count is actually different, then we just use whatever that age is.
My personal opinion is that 0-0 is extremely slow and boring to play. The 1-1 count makes the batter be more aggressive. I play 50s so my opinion is in line with the metrics.
Is it possible to have different rules for different age groups? if so, that looks like a potential solution.

Actually, I think anyone can post photos to the Senior Softball USA Facebook page but that depends how you have it set up. You could get some free labor by having anyone there at a tournment location taking a picture of a bracket and posting it on that page. May be worth testing it.

I think the idea for the updates on the SSUSA Facebook page is perfect. It takes very little time and will draw more people to your page. We have a Facebook site for our club and we use that to keep everyone up to date with scores as we go along during a tournement so everyone that wants to follow can do that. It doesn't take much time at all to do that. Maybe 1 minute after each game.

I'm an outfielder so take this for what it is worth. The balls get through more quickly but the hops are true. The balls bounce more but easy to read if you have someone hit a few grounders to you to get the feel. You should lime it over playing on dirt.

Discussion: Western National Tournament? Or ?...
I don't see why a team should not be allowed to play in whatever tournament that they care to. We have enough problems getting enough teams in tournaments, why limit it unnecessarily. It doesn't make sense to put any restrictions on who can play where. Having said that, if you went with the concept of only teams in specific areas could play in certain tournaments, you would have to define maps for regions otherwise it is arbitrary.

That doesn't seem like a plausible scenario. Did that actually happen? It doesn't seem possible that if the man on first was trying to get to second that he could collide with a second baseman that was attempting to cover 1st on that play. I just can't see that happening unless the runner on 1st just took a few steps and then went right.

Thanks Staff and txnighttrain but my comment was theorectical as I'm not smart enough to think of that while running the bases so it makes it a moot point. If I actually pulled that off in a game situation,that would be amazing. I guess you just have to make it look like an accident which requires more thinking and that is not my specialty.

Gas Pipeline Safety:
Guidance and More Information Needed before Using Risk-Based Reassessment Intervals
GAO-13-577: Published: Jun 27, 2013. Publicly Released: Jun 27, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-2834
Office of Public Affairs

What GAO Found
Baseline assessment and reassessment data collected by the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) since 2004 show that pipeline operators are making repairs in highly populated or frequented areas ("high consequence areas"). For example, from 2004 to 2009, operators made 1,080 immediate repairs. While operators can use assessment data to determine reassessment intervals for specific pipelines, PHMSA's data are aggregated and cannot indicate an appropriate maximum interval for all pipelines nationwide. Such a determination requires, for example, collaboration of subject matter experts and analysis of technical studies.
The current 7-year reassessment requirement provides a safeguard by allowing regulators and operators to identify and address problems on a continual basis, but is not fully consistent with risk-based practices. The 7-year reassessment requirement is more frequent than the intervals found in industry consensus standards and provides greater assurance that operators are regularly monitoring their pipelines to address threats before leaks or ruptures occur. However, this requirement--which was established in a 2002 act as part of the gas integrity management program rather than by rulemaking--is not fully consistent with risk-based management practices, which ask operators to, for example, use information to identify, assess, and prioritize risks so that resources may be allocated to address higher risks first. While operators are required to determine an appropriate reassessment interval based on the threats to their pipelines in high consequence areas, they must reassess those pipelines at least every 7 years regardless of the risks identified.
Implementing risk-based reassessment intervals beyond 7 years would require a statutory change from Congress and could exacerbate current workload, staffing, and expertise challenges for regulators and operators. For example, PHMSA is facing workload problems with inspections, which could be worsened by allowing operators to use risk-based reassessment intervals beyond 7 years; PHMSA has an initiative under way that could help address this issue. Further, some operators told us that extending reassessment intervals beyond 7 years would likely require additional data analyses over what is currently required. Operators GAO met with varied in the extent to which they currently calculate reassessment intervals and use the results of data analyses. Guidance to calculate reassessment intervals is lacking, and as a result, operators may perform a less rigorous determination of their reassessment intervals at this time. At Congress's request, in 2008 PHMSA described how it would establish and enforce risk-based criteria for extending the 7-year reassessment interval. PHMSA proposed retaining the current 7-year reassessment requirement, but establishing a process by which operators could use risk-based reassessment intervals beyond 7 years if they met certain potential criteria, such as demonstrating sound risk analysis. While PHMSA and GAO have supported the concept of risk-based reassessment intervals beyond 7 years, given the breadth of potential challenges with implementation, more information might help decision-makers better understand the resource requirements for this change. For example, PHMSA has used pilot programs to collect such information and study the effects prior to rule changes.
Why GAO Did This Study
About 300,000 miles of gas transmission pipelines cross the United States, carrying natural gas from processing facilities to communities and large-volume users. These pipelines are largely regulated by PHMSA. The Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 established the gas integrity management program, which required gas transmission pipeline operators to assess the integrity of their pipeline segments in high consequence areas by December 2012 and reassess them at least every 7 years.
The Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011 directed GAO to examine the results of these baseline assessments and reassessments and the potential impact of making the current process more risk-based. GAO analyzed (1) PHMSAs assessment data on repairs made and the appropriateness of the 7-year reassessment requirement, (2) the impact of the 7-year reassessment requirement on regulators and operators, and (3) the potential challenges of implementing risk-based reassessment intervals beyond 7 years. GAO analyzed assessment data; reviewed legislation and regulations; and interviewed pipeline operators, federal and state regulators, and other stakeholders.
What GAO Recommends
DOT should (1) develop guidance for operators to calculate reassessment intervals and (2) collect information on the resources needed to implement risk-based reassessment intervals beyond 7 years. DOT did not agree or disagree with the recommendations, but provided technical comments.
For more information, contact Susan A. Fleming at (202) 512-2834 or email@example.com.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: As of August 2014, PHMSA plans to issue guidance in January 2015 on when operators should use more frequent reassessment intervals (i.e., intervals under 5 to 7 years). The guidance will also include more criteria on the type of data to be used in determining these more frequent reassessment intervals.
Recommendation: To improve how operators calculate reassessment intervals, the Secretary of Transportation should direct the Administrator for the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to develop guidance for operators to use in determining risks and calculating reassessment intervals.
Agency Affected: Department of Transportation
Status: Open
Comments: As of August 2014, PHMSA has not yet started implementing this recommendation.
Recommendation: To better identify the resource requirements needed to implement risk-based reassessment intervals beyond 7 years for gas transmission pipelines, the Secretary of Transportation should direct the Administrator for the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to collect information on the feasibility of addressing the potential challenges of implementing risk-based reassessment intervals beyond 7 years, for example by preparing a report or developing a legislative proposal for a pilot program, in consultation with Congress, that studies the impact to regulators and operators of a potential rule change.

Fans of ABC's family comedy series THE NEIGHBORS will be able to submit questions and receive real-time responses from Toks Olagundoye, who will be up on Twitter at @ToksOlagundoye, during the East Coast broadcast of the show on WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14 (8:30-9:00 p.m., ET). Olagundoye will offer commentary and share behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the show's very funny Thanksgiving-themed episode.
In the November 14 episode, "Thanksgiving is for the Bird-Kersees," Debbie wants her family's first Thanksgiving at their new home to be different from Thanksgivings past, so she convinces Marty to un-invite his parents and decides to invite Larry, Jackie, Reggie and Dick over for the holiday instead. Unfortunately, despite his promise to Debbie, Marty caves to parental pressure and confirms his mother and father will be on hand for Turkey Day. Meanwhile, after learning the meaning of the holiday, Dick secretly invites Jackie's estranged sisters, Venus and Serena, to make an appearance. Thanksgiving Day is anything but normal with the crazy alien neighbors, alien and human in-laws, and the Weavers all under one roof.
"The Neighbors" stars Jami Gertz as Debbie Weaver, Lenny Venito as Marty Weaver, Simon Templeman as Larry Bird, Toks Olagundoye as Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Clara Mamet as Amber Weaver, TIM JO as Reggie Jackson, IAN PATRICK as Dick Butkus, MAX CHARLES as Max Weaver and ISABELLA CRAMP as Abby Weaver.

California Chess Journal - Volume 2-3 1988-1990
A Complete Repertoire for Black
The Sicilian Defence is Black's most popular reply to 1.e4. Most Black players hope for an Open Sicilian, seeking unbalanced positions and opportunities to play for a win. No wonder that in roughly one-third of the games White does not play 2.Nf3 and chooses one of numerous 'Anti-Sicilian' lines. Ranging from primitive and aggressive to respected but tedious, these Anti-Sicilians have one thing in common: they all cross Black's plans and steer for territories where it is easy to get ambushed. Evgeny Sveshnikov offers help. The world-famous Sicilian expert tackles these annoying lines one by one. With great ingenuity he presents a watertight repertoire that consists of practical and effective opening ideas.
Sveshnikov vs. the Anti-Sicilians

Good-humoured dialogue is the reader-friendly technique, Stinking Bishops uses to present a pair of related but puzzling practical endgames. Take bishops: 'unlike' contrast with 'like'. Add a black and a white rook, then just a single white pawn, and we have seven chessmen. The 'books' are silent on this endgame, as indeed they are on all 7-man endings. Stinking Bishops is not deterred, venturing politely to differ, voicing a minority view. It investigates both cases, in the average player's company, and at his pace, consistently eschewing acres of so-called 'analysis' -- and in the process breaks new ground in chess literature.
Stinking Bishops
In this book, former American Open Champion Cyrus Lakdawala studies his favourite Larsen games and examines Larsen's skills in the key areas of attack and defence, initiative, exploiting imbalances, accumulating advantages and endgame play.
Larsen - Move by Move
Fighting 1.e4 with the Kalashnikov

How to Calculate and Win
In The Inner Game of Chess, GM Andy Soltis shows that the key to good calculation is good visualization of the position in front of us and then after the moves we're considering. Being aware of tactical motifs; knowing when to stop looking; and verifying your chosen move are essential, but they all depend on the basic requirement to see clearly what's going on. The author discusses common obstacles to clear visualization and offers techniques to overcome them in your own play.
The Inner Game of Chess
The Sicilian Najdorf is undoubtedly one of the most popular chess openings. It was played with great success by world champions Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov and today it remains a favourite defense at all levels from grandmaster to beginner. 6 Bg5 is widely acknowledged as a critical test of the Sicilian Najdorf. In this book, International Master Kevin Goh Wei Ming examines the most theoretically important and instructive games in recent years, highlighting the main developments and novelties for both sides. Whether playing White or Black, this book provides you with essential knowledge of an important opening.
Chess Developments - Sicilian Najdorf 6. Bg5
Had enough of the same old queen's pawn openings? Afraid of losing just because you forgot White's latest move 23 novelty in the main lines? In The Czech Benoni in Action, two practitioners of this little-known but sound counterattacking system join forces to show how you can pose novel problems for opponents of all strengths, leaving them to fend for themselves as early as move 3.

The Classical French - Move by Move
The Solid Rubinstein Variation
This book is an eye-opener, and even top grandmasters might find that they have underestimated Black's resources in important positions…The average tournament and online player will appreciate Langrock's straightforward, no-nonsense style. He keeps the complexity of the analysis within bounds, and highlights relevant details without drifting into obscure page-long analytical byways. General themes are clearly presented within the context of illustrative games…The result is a book that covers a broad swath of material in a modest number of pages. I'm sure that you will be well-rewarded for its study, and come out with a useful new weapon in your chess arsenal." From International Master John Watson's Foreword
French Defense
Most chess games are not won – they are lost. Many instructional chess books tell you how to improve a position when it is already (or may be) favourable. This book offers help when you definitely do not have the advantage. Every chess player needs a sound arsenal of defensive techniques. This book covers them all – counterplay, when to accept sacrifices, how to anticipate short- and long-term threats, and how to minimize losses. It also helps you create a strong underlying psychological framework for defensive technique – it teaches you how to stay cool under fire, how to stonewall and how to exploit your opponent's weaknesses.
New Art of Defense in Chess
The Bad Bishop is a notorious villain in chess, but often a perfectly respectable bishop is falsely accused. The Secret Life of Bad Bishops takes an in-depth look at the bishop – not just dealing with good and bad bishops but also more nuanced cases where a "double-edged bishop" could turn out to be a game-winning hero or a fatal liability. All phases of chess are covered, from opening to middlegame to endgame. The final two chapters test the reader's newly enhanced understanding with carefully chosen exercises and instructive solutions.
The Secret Life of Bad Bishops
Chess Books
Choose from a huge selection of chess books, including a wide variety of topics, players and strategies from The House of Staunton. There is a chess book for nearly every chess move or chess defense you can think of. Looking for a chess book talking about a specific chess player? Browse the many different miscellaneous chess books available. Need to strengthen your opening game? Middle game? Or maybe your end game is lacking. There are chess books covering all of these topics and much more. The purpose of a majority of the chess books available is to serve as guides for beginners and advanced chess players alike, and to address different tactics and strategies to help improve your game. There are also biographical chess books that talk about specific Chess Players such as Magnus Carlsen or Vishwanthan Anand if you are interested in reading about a chess player and their life.

The United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) was
the largest and longest study of adults with
type 2 diabetes. It began in 1977 to determine whether
treatments that reduced blood sugar levels to near-normal levels would decrease
the risk of the development or progression of long-term diabetic complications,
such as eye, heart, kidney, blood vessel, and nerve disease.
treatments included in the study were first- or second-generation sulfonylurea
oral diabetes medicines,
insulin, and another oral diabetes medicine called
metformin. The study found that:1
The study also examined the advantages and disadvantages of
the specific treatments.
People in the study who had type 2 diabetes and
high blood pressure were divided into two groups. For
one group, the goal was to keep blood pressure levels below 180/105 millimeters
of mercury (mm Hg). For the other group, the goal was levels below 150/85 mm Hg
with medicine (tightly controlled). Results showed that tightly controlled
blood pressure reduced the risk of:4
Also, the study found that the
pancreas of people with type 2 diabetes gradually
produced less and less insulin over time, increasing the person's need for
additional medicines and eventually insulin.5

Originally written on Mets360.com | Last updated 1/20/13
Mets MLB.com beat writer Anthony DiComo, on his Mets Cetera blog, has up a projected Opening Day roster. DiComo notes, "this is an exercise in futility: we will only consider players who are currently under team control, even though the Mets are likely to add at least one starting pitcher, reliever and perhaps outfielder before Opening Day." If you understand the restraints, it's not futile at all. Let's examine his list, specifically his bench. DiComo's reserves are: Andrew Brown, Collin Cowgill, Brandon Hicks, Anthony Recker and Justin Turner. Conspicuous by his absence is Jordany Valdespin. Now, I am not a Valdespin fan. I did not include him in my 2012 Top Prospects list and I advocated trading him in the middle of his pinch-hitting exploits last year. My belief is that his OBP and so-so defense will prevent him from ever being a useful MLB regular. But there's a difference between useful MLB regular and useful bench player. Valdepin has his weaknesses but he also h...

I'm currently on the Leone Telethia boss. Now, the game is fine so far I suppose, but it definitely hasn't been grabbing me and I haven't been especially enjoying myself. Does it pick up significantly at some point, or should I call in that this just isn't for me?
As of this post I actually haven't played for a few months. I just wanna know if it's worth continuing for someone who hasn't really liked it so far.

Breakfast at Tiffany's … Almost

Thanks for your vote!
Voting on this contest has closed. Thanks to all who voted!
by Elynne Chaplik-Aleskow
Once upon a time there was a character in a movie who was a free spirit with a love of adventure and life. Her name was Holly Golightly and she was played by the deliciously charismatic Audrey Hepburn. Her character inspired my secret plan.
This movie had a magical effect on me. I was sixteen when I saw Breakfast at Tiffany's for the first time. By the time I took my first trip to New York, I had seen the film four times.
Of all the cities I have visited in the world, New York is my most favorite and precious. The city has an infinite rhythm of its own. The opportunities of what to do and see are endless. Day or night one can eat. There is always choice for entertainment. The city is alive. It is a life-force.
I love the anonymity of New York. There is a need I have for the quixotic sensibility New York offers me. I am renewed and inspired by my immersion into this city. One can experience any art form. It is a walking city filled with amazing neighborhoods, quaint groceries, delis, cabarets, music, museums, parks and the ultimate in theater–Broadway.
Being in the audience of a Broadway musical, I transcend the reality outside the theater building and am uplifted magically into the all encompassing talent on stage. The actors play to me beyond their potential to the ultimate of their gifts. The productions are often works of art. To be in a Broadway audience is one of the most satisfying moments of my life. It is for me existence in another dimension.
My first trip to New York was liberating. During the day I visited Central Park and the pond where Holden Caulfield watched the ducks in Catcher in the Rye. I went to New York's museums and walked Fifth Avenue. I played at FAO Schwarz Toy Store. I awoke every morning in my own fairytale waiting to see what the day in this city would offer me.
Holly Golightly and I breathed New York in the same way. I inhaled its anticipation first feeling it in my toes as it worked its way up to my chest and made my brain almost light headed. Tonight was the night I would implement my plan. This was a private plan. I had shared it with no one. It was all mine. I was a romantic and I was fearless.
The theater performance I attended ended around ten forty-five. I walked through Times Square to one of New York's twenty-four hour markets and bought doughnuts and milk. Carrying this sweet treasure I made my way back to my hotel through the exiting theater crowds.
Back in my room, I waited until midnight. With my package in hand I headed toward Tiffany's on Fifth Avenue. The door to this jewelry store is recessed. In the darkness of the early morning I stepped into the doorway and put on my sunglasses that were almost identical to those Audrey Hepburn wore in the movie. I unwrapped my donut, opened my milk and proceeded to have breakfast at Tiffany's.
Suddenly I saw a male figure pass the door in which I was standing. Almost immediately he slowly walked backwards and stopped, staring at me. I could see him more clearly now and realized he was a police officer.
"What are you doing?" he asked in a thick New York accent.
"Having breakfast at Tiffany's, officer," I replied suddenly feeling self-conscious.
"Oh yea?" he responded totally unconvinced. "You should know better than soliciting here."
"Soliciting?" I repeated. "No, officer, you do not understand. I am having breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey Hepburn?" I stammered. "The movie?"
He just looked at me and shook his head. "Move on," he said.
At that moment I hoped that he thought anyone wearing sunglasses and drinking milk in the middle of the night while standing in Tiffany's doorway must be a tourist.
He had unexpectedly interrupted my fantasy but I had done it. Like my favorite movie character I was in New York having breakfast at Tiffany's. It would always be a once upon a time moment for me.

Grain in the East is usually thrashed by the sheaves being spread out on a floor, over which oxen and cattle are driven to and fro, till the grain is trodden out. Moses ordained that the ox was not to be muzzled while thrashing. It was to be allowed to eat both the grain and the straw (Deut. 25:4). (See AGRICULTURE.)
