I love Christmas and I love Christmas reads! Throw in a whole bunch of exceptional authors and you've got a real treat! This compilation of original and inspiring historical romance novella's will entertain you with their appealing and intriguing tales of pioneer life and love in untamed lands. Each story concludes with the new pioneers celebrating Christmas in unconventional dwellings.
'Defending Truth' by Shannon McNear, sees Truth, a young woman in western North Carolina, alone and responsible for her younger siblings after her father had left them to fight the British. What will she do when she comes across a half-starved militia man loyal to the Crown? This is an intriguing and heart-warming story reflecting the battle on King's Mountain and of God's grace.
'The Calling' by Kathleen Fuller centers around a tavern in Unionville, Ohio, that also doubles as a stagecoach stop. Elijah Montgomery is pushed by his parents to travel and preach. Is he just being obedient to his folks or hearing the calling himself? What part might Milly, the lovely tavern girl who works for her father, have in helping Elijah to find his destiny?
'A Silent Night' by Anna Urquhart illustrates the struggles of a mother and young child surviving on their own in the woodlands of Michigan Territory in 1830. Refusing a marriage of convenience that most women would have taken up leaves Lorna vulnerable and unprepared for winter. How can she possibly survive and will they get their Christmas miracle that 6 year old Afton is praying for?
A Pony Express Christmas by Margaret Brownley has the bloomer-clad Ellie-May Newman searching across the unforgiving Nebraska Territory for her missing brother who rode for the Pony Express. After saving a man, she informs him he'll be helping her on her quest. There's an interesting love triangle in this story and an unexpected outcome for Ellie at the end of the trail. Margaret Brownley is a brilliant storyteller and this tale is a hearty feast for a novella!
'A Christmas Castle' by Cynthia Hickey ambushes Annie Morgan with quite a few eye-popping revelations when she arrives at her ranch in Prescott, Arizona, to chase down her new husband who was supposed to meet her in town. This story by Cynthia was fast-moving, delightfully romantic, and especially captivating!
'The Cowboy's Angel' by Lauraine Snelling has a very pregnant woman and her son living on the Dakota Territory plains in 1875 waiting for her husband to return home after leaving weeks earlier to purchase supplies. With a baby coming, a 4 yr. old son, animals to care for, and snowstorms, Belle is in much need of a Christmas miracle from God's angels. What could have befallen her husband?
'A Badlands Christmas' by Marcia Gruver soon has Australian Jonathon Nancarrow journeying from sophisticated New York City along with his two daughters to the small town of Medora in the heart of the wilderness, still seeking peace and healing after the death of his wife. His eldest daughter Noela takes quite a while adjusting to the overwhelming differences, especially having to live in a house made of dirt and grass called a soddie! Will this little family survive a harsh Dakota winter here and can Noela find love in the wilderness? Marcia Gruver writes an immensely memorable and highly entertaining read, delivering an enchanting story with a very sweet romance.
'Buckskin Bride' by Vickie McDonough takes us to Oklahoma Territory in 1889 to where Mattie and her two sisters Milly and Jess are living in a tipi, which unknowingly happens to be on handsome Irishman Conall Donegan's land. Their father hasn't returned and Mattie having been left in charge feels a huge responsibility to keep her sisters safe, fed, and sheltered. When Jess is hurt and they are all discovered, Mattie feels like everything is falling apart. Can things come together for Christmas?
Review quote
A Pioneer Christmas is a beautiful collection of historical Christmas stories. I loved them all but Buckskin Bride by Vickie McDonough was my favorite of the nine. Most of these authors are new to me and will be looking for more full length stories by them in the future. I recommend this book to get you into the holiday spirit.--Amy Campbell"GoodReads" (11/12/2013)

I'm so excited!!!!
I'm finally going to start writing the book that I've been thinking about since we brought our littermates home. This will be a mixed breed dog book written in the style of the dog breed books we see in the store (and I bet many dog lovers out there have at home). I'm writing this book to celebrate dogs and dog rescue and to give our mutts some props.
But even the pure bred dogs deserve some love and if you're a Keep the Tail Wagging fan and the dog parent to a pure breed, then I want to include your pup too. Many of our pure breeds started out as a mixture of something making them mutts too!
There are two things I want to announce today!
ONE – You can submit your dog through the Google Form I created found at the below link – don't forget to submit an image (email to firstname.lastname@example.com), I need one that shows your dog's features (preferably standing or sitting, and alone). I know pictures of sleeping dogs are soooo cute, but we want people to be able to say "that looks like my dog, maybe he's a Border Collie mix":
I'm hosting a contest during the month of February where YOU can help me pick a name for the new mixed breed dog book and Petco has generously offered to sponsor this giveaway. The person who creates the title that I choose for the book will win a great give basket of Petco WholePets items similar to the one I received, but better! You can submit your idea for a title on the below link and there's no limit to the entries; but more entries doesn't up your chance of winning: A winner will be chosen on March 1st. This contest is open to US Residents Only (sorry) and you must be 18 years or older to enter.
UPDATE – Writing this book is a lot harder than I thought. I've spent two months trying to figure out a format and the information I want to include. I will continue working at it and will host a NEW contest for the title Summer 2013. Thank you to everyone who submitted a dog!

Brookline, Mass. - The Holy Cross baseball team split a doubleheader with Northeastern University on Saturday afternoon at Friedman Diamond. Holy Cross won the first game 2-1 while the Huskies rebounded to take the second game, 4-1. With the split, Holy Cross is now 4-9 overall on the season. Northeastern is 5-10 overall.
In the first game, HC starter Mike Miller (2-1) went 5 2/3 innings giving up only three hits and a walk while striking out seven batters. Miller then got some help offensively in the sixth inning when HC scored two runs off of NU sophomore pitcher Adam Ottavino. Senior catcher Mike Marron led off with a walk, advanced to second on a single by left fielder Jamie Aldrich, stole third and scored on an errant throw by Husky backstop Matt Morizio. Aldrich came around to score on a single by senior third baseman Mike Schell.
Northeastern scored its lone run in the fourth inning when shortstop Arman Sidhu crossed the plate on a Miguel Paquette double to the left field gap.
Aldrich went 3-for-4 in the first game, with a run scored, while Schell had the lone RBI for the Crusaders.
Sophomore Scott Hampe pitched the final two innings to record the save for Holy Cross.
Ottavino struck out 11 HC batters while giving up two runs on seven hits for the Huskies.
In the second game, Northeastern's Kris Dabrowiecki struck out six batters and allowed just one run on seven hits in eight innings of work.
Holy Cross took a 1-0 lead in the top of the sixth after freshman Brendan Akashian plated Aldrich on a single through the right side. Aldrich went 2-for-4 with a run scored in the game.
The Huskies came right back to score two in the bottom half of the sixth after Anthony Fantaroni homered to start the inning. Later, Arman Sidhu doubled and scored on a wild pitch by Holy Cross starter Jim McCloud for the 2-1 advantage. After Dabrowiecki shut down the HC bats in the top of the seventh, the Huskies tacked on two more runs thanks to Tim Bush's two-run jack to left field.
McCloud pitched seven and 1/3 innings, allowing four runs on five hits, while striking out three batters.
Dave Pellegrine picked up the save with a scoreless ninth, also striking out three.
The Crusaders are scheduled to play host to Siena College on Tuesday, March 29 at 3:00 p.m. The game may or may not be played due to field conditions. Please check www.goholycross.com on Tuesday morning for game updates.

High School Volleyball Preview: Burning questions
By Terrence Thomas : August 10, 2013 : Updated: August 11, 2013 1:18am
Photo By Marvin Pfeiffer/San Antonio Express-News
Smithson Valley's Allison Meckel (from left) tries to get a shot past New Braunfels' Katie Steel and Morrigan Land during their match at New Braunfels High School on Oct. 2, 2012. New Braunfels won the match in four sets: 25-19, 25-21, 22-25 and 25-14.
District 25-5A was the area's best a year ago, with New Braunfels and Smithson Valley facing off in the Region IV-5A final, and Judson and New Braunfels Canyon each notching 30-win seasons. What can we expect from the league this season?
Don't be surprised if it's more of the same. Smithson Valley returns eight players, including all-district performers Allison Grona, Allison Meckel and Emily Medlin, from a squad that was a win from a trip to state. New Braunfels, which lost in five sets in last year's state final, has some holes to fill but the return of middle hitter Neka Cuppetilli and setter/outside hitter Katie Steel should be a big help. Judson set a school record last year for wins with a young roster and should be even more potent with the likes of Krystal Faison, Jordan Vail and Aijahnae Springs back. Canyon was hit hard by graduation, but will likely build around returning all-district players Madison Williams and Kelly Hasbrouck.
A year ago, an area TAPPS team failed to win a state title for the first time since 2005. Was that an aberration or a reason to be alarmed?
Most likely the former. Boerne Geneva was a win shy of winning the 2A state title, while Antonian was a win from a trip to state and Incarnate Word was one set from making it to a regional final. Antonian and Incarnate Word were relatively young and should be primed for a return to state. Geneva graduated four starters, but with Courtney Bolin and Addie Lipe leading the way, a fifth straight trip to state is possible.
The area coaching landscape had a big shakeup this offseason, with at least 20 schools getting new coaches. Which new coach is primed to lead their new team to big success?
While you always have to factor in a transition period, if you based it simply on pedigree, Floresville's Starla Jones is the safe bet. Jones takes over the Jaguars after four seasons at Class A Wink, where she went 151-32 and led the Wildcats to state twice and four regional finals. She also guided Woodsboro to a regional final.

Writing an op-ed feels a whole lot like driving through a tunnel. You travel inside a direct line and concentrate on only one destination. This is because an op-ed is often 650 words or much less, leaving small space for excursions beyond the main point. The downside to getting this singular focus is that you sometimes miss important parts of a story – not only in what you write down but additionally in how you think and collect details about a topic. This happened to me final Friday, when Newsday published a piece of mine known as "U.S. should hail young scientists." The piece was motivated by a recent UNESCO report on the state of science all over the world. The report discovered that in light of the current economic downturn, traditional powerhouses have slowed their investments in education and R&D. Emerging economies have taken advantage of the situation. They have increased their level hard money lenders of R&D investment and been able create new opportunities for technological advancement. This imbalanced activity is putting US prowess in peril. UNESCO discovered, for example, that China is overpowering the U.S. and Europe when it comes to number of working scientists and science PhDs. There's an write-up which began with the statement: "Long Island is on the front lines of keeping America technologically competitive." It was about 3 recent winners of the national Siemens Competition in math, science and technology who were Long Island high school students and cited the history of science fair winners in some Long Island schools. In the 2010 Intel microdermabrasion machines science fair (which is the largest and most competitive pre-college science competition in the world), about 20% of the semi-finalists were Long Island students. Two Garden City educators are being acknowledged for their work to teach chemistry to special education students. The point of the article was intended to be a positive one. We sometimes hear about the US losing the science and technological race to places like China and India. In our alarm, it is easy to overlook the fact that mentors, educators, parents and students themselves are putting out great effort and having a lot on the local level to create the young scientists of tomorrow. My article meant to say that these people are on the front lines of maintaining the country technologically aggressive, and that their metal detectorefforts should be recognized and applauded. That point stands. But it is not the whole story. In taking my 650 words or less direct line, I developed a bit of tunnel vision on the issue of science education in public schools. I have Ann Golob, who directs a project called the "Long Island Index" for the Rauch Foundation, to thank for adding to my perspective. Our school story is about the way we have organized ourselves by race, by class, by ethnicity; it is the story of how opportunity is selective and if you happen to live in a school tankless water heaters district that provides superb science education, you are one in the FEW lucky ones. I urge you to read the work that the Long Island Index produced in 2009 on this topic. In one piece of study we carried out and found that 20% of the semi-finalists in Intel's talent search in the past ten years came from LI schools – but half of them came from just 7 districts. 7 out of 124. That's not a regional trend." There is a lot more to be discussed here, more than 650 words or less can contain. School achievement and inequality is an important topic. Not all students on Long Island have the same stellar school experience. Not even close to it. Indeed on the very same day my article ran, Newsday also printed a story about Roosevelt High School marking its 20th consecutive year on the state's annual listing of video camera stabilizer lowest achieving schools. Roosevelt is the only Long Island school on the list and the longest-standing occupant. The Newsday article cited the school principal, the school board president, parents, and other pertinent officials all expressing hope and discussing their efforts to improve things. Those involved with Roosevelt are the front lines as well, engaged in a battle equally if not more important to what was originally written about.

Former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge has, for the most part, been out of the spotlight for the past year since he wrote his book titled The Test of Our Times: America Under Siege...And How We Can Be Safe Again, which came out in September of 2009. In that book, Ridge confessed that, although unsurprising to anyone who understood the rampant fear-mongering and propaganda that took place in the post-9/11 Bush era, he was pressured by others in the Bush Administration to purposely manipulate the infamous color-coded National Security Alerts for political reasons, and in particular, during the run-up to former President George W. Bush's re-election in 2004.
The tell-all was most likely intended to cleanse his hands of the countless deaths and woundings suffered in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Patriot Act that was rushed into place and which usurped Americans' civil liberties, the opening of the illegal Guantanamo Bay Detention Center, torture at the Abu Ghraib Detention Center in Iraq, among other crimes that took place under Bush's regime. Yet, after Bush's former Press Secretary Scott McClellan attempted to pull off the same kind of confession in his book, What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception, few were willing to forgive and forget, as the United States has been forever stained by Bush's nest of criminals. It was too little too late to play "Monday Morning Quarterback" for both McClellan and Ridge and their time in the limelight.
Just when we thought Ridge was on the up and out, the smell of a fat wad of cash was too much for him to pass up, it appears.
Ridge Appointed as an "Adviser" for the Marcellus Shale Coalition
On July 30, 2010, Ridge was named as an "adviser" to the Marcellus Shale Coalition (MSC), and offered $900,000 per year to him and his consulting groups, Ridge Global and Ridge Policy Group in compensation for their "services." Ridge Global will earn $50,000 a month and the Ridge Policy Group will get $25,000 a month, each for 12 months. It is certain that these services will include helping the MSC in its public relations disinformation campaign in the push to extract natural gas from the Marcellus Shale region, located in the Northeastern corridor of the U.S.
It is worth a quick review of what natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale is all about and what it entails.
To be brief, the Marcellus Shale is an extensive formation of shale (a type of sedimentary rock that is high in carbon) in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and other states in the region that underlies about 18,700 square miles in southern New York, including New York City's entire 1,585-square-mile watershed west of the Hudson River. This shale has received renewed attention both because of new estimates of the quantity of methane gas believed to be under these rocks, and because of the significant environmental concerns that have been raised about the method of extracting the gas from the shale, through a process called "fracking."
Fracking is a process in which a fluid is injected at high pressure into oil or methane gas deposits to fracture the rock above and release the liquid or gas below. In this process, a fluid is injected into the rock which then releases the gas along with dumping radioactive toxins and other hazardous substances into the shale. ProPublica has created two very helpful charts depicting how the fracking process works: "What is Hydraulic Fracturing?" and "Anatomy of a Gas Well".
In short, during the fracking process, the hazardous chemicals shot into the ground eventually end up in peoples' well water, which in turn enables citizens to ignite flames in their tap water. Furthermore, one of the toxins is benzene, a well-known carcinogen.
The Nexus
Ridge has, as per usual in his career, decided to work for the Devil. In this case, it's the extractive energy lobbying industry. In the past, it has been the Bush Administration. Now he will use his masterful deception skills to tout for drilling in the Marcellus Shale, which will lead countless innocent American civilians who live in this region to be exposed to toxic chemicals. Ridge was complicit in the march to perpetual war, humiliating torture, warrantless wiretapping, among other travesties, so, if the MSC has it their way, he will have matching success in this arena, too.
Before it's too late, citizens must stand up against the lies and deception of the oil industry. The stakes and the consequences for the environment of not doing so are dire.
Tom Blakeslee replied on Permalink
Unfair disinformation article
The coal and Oil industry has been pushing this fracting disinformation campaign because natural gas is their competitor. Fracting is nothing new and has been going on for decades with very few accidents. Certainly it should be carefully regulated to prevent future disasters but coal power should be replaced by natural gas as quickly as possible because it is much cleaner and way less environmentally destructive than coal or oil.
Remember that coal is now mined by raping the land and blowing the tops off of mountains. Coal emissions have terrible health consequences which can be eliminated by simply converting coal power plants to gas.
Gas is an excellent temporary solution while we develop renewables. If we stifle it's development, coal will be the only alternative.

HII -Read some of your
HII -Read some of your comments - many are comments with only conjecture, not fact, or are very erroneous ! ! ! Frack water virtually never ends up in fresh water wells, 50 years & 8000 old wells should prove it to you.
DO you understand the natural liquid contained in the Marcellus
Shale layers - THERE FOR OVER 400,000,000 YEARS - I'LL CALL IT -- UNDER-ground water contains a variety of dissolved minerals
varying at each location & is just as poisonous to above ground flora & fauna as some of the frack fluid ingredients. IT HASN't MIGRATED TO FRESH WATER LEVELS IN 400,000,000, SO WHY WOULD THE RESIDUAL FRACKING WATER MIGRATE ?
If you want energy costs to double (as in Portugal) and shut down all
industrial growth - go for immediatally changing to re-newables and see what un-intended hazards, accidents, and consequences develop from that - will you denounce those effects as ardently as
you do the current - SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN , BUT HAVEN'T THAT YOU CITE WITH THE MARCELLUS ? ? ?
Please re-examine your emotional reaction and look up more factual onfo ! Girdon

Interesting that you should
Interesting that you should mention Portugal. It appears the reason that energy costs have "doubled" in Portugal is that the Portuguese have started doing what we should -- counting more of the true costs of energy use:
As Cole notes, "It will be a decade before even a third of [Portugal's] over-all energy comes from alternative sources." But...time flies when you're having fun, right? Seems to me that the decade 2000–2010 went by almost before I knew it! :-)
Justin DeVos replied on Permalink
My name is Justin DeVos I work for a fracturing company in the shale region of pa and I must clear up a few things that were published in the article. The "Fluid" as said is Water taken from rivers and streams a limit of one million gallons per day is allowed to be moved. The explanation of what fracturing is in the article is also a little misinformed fracing is not how the gas is taken out of the ground it is a way of increasing the output of gas that already flows from the drilled well. 90 percent of what flows down hole is water and sand. To be honest I have no idea what the other chemicals do and for that matter I really dont think anyone does, but the ratio of water to chemicals is so emense that i bet the chemicals are nearly undetectable. Im not a sciencetist I mearly use common sence I really wish people would stop "Jumping on the band wagon" about how bad fracing is and realize what it can bring to pennsylvania's economy. Its articles like this i read and realize the writer has writen only what he or she has herd from someone else. If any one has any questions please feel free to email me i will answer to the best of my knowledge. Thank you

I live in southern WV, rumor has it that drilling is to start here this fall. My area is covered in Karst topography, and all residents obtain water from wells or springs on their property. There is no infrastructure for municipal water to rural areas; even if there were it would still be pulled from underground source. Our area is full of caves with interconnecting fractures and channels that cover many miles. I'm very worried that in the case of an accident, whole communities would quickly be impacted with nowhere to turn. Can you provide any info that may ease my mind? Or documentation of drilling in known Karst areas. Also I still don't understand if this type of drilling is safe, why was there a successful effort to excuse them from regulations?

The Dangers of Fracking
Fracking *is* dangerous. The truth is that the natural gas companies have not been honest about the risks. Yes, the percentage of water to chemicals is small. But 1% of 1 million is still 100,000 gallons of chemicals.
The NRDC is keeping a list of reports here:
Also - for New Yorkers - here's your future under a Republican governor. PA governor is considering allowing Eminent Domain over land for drilling. Check this out:

Economic injury disaster loans now available in North Carolina
The U.S. Small Business Administration announced Jan. 3 that federal economic injury disaster loans are available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private non-profit organizations located in North Carolina. This announcement was made as a result of the drought and excessive heat incurred between April 1 and July 31, 2012.
This declaration is applicable to the following counties: Durham, Franklin, Granville, Person, Vance and Wake.
This loan program is available to eligible farm-related and nonfarm-related entities that suffered financial losses as a direct result of this disaster. Agricultural producers, farmers and ranchers (except for aquacultural enterprises) are not eligible to apply. Nurseries are eligible to apply if their losses were caused by drought conditions.
Entities may apply for loan amounts up to $2 million, with interest rates of 3 percent for private non-profit organizations of all sizes and 4 percent for small businesses (with up to 30 year terms). Eligibility is based on the size of the applicant, type of activity and its financial resources. Loan amounts and terms will be based on each applicant's financial condition.
These loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits; rather, they are strictly for paying fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred.
Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application via the administration's secure website: //disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.
Information and application forms may also be obtained by calling the customer service center at 800-659-2955 (or 800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing), or by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Loan applications can be downloaded from sba.gov.
Completed applications must be mailed no later than Aug. 12 to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155. For more information, visit sba.gov.

Sept. 16, 2007
The 28th-ranked Lobo men's soccer team netted its biggest win of the season with a 2-1 victory over No. 9 UC Santa Barbara in the final game of the 2007 NIKE/Crescent Financial Solutions Invitational at the UNM Soccer Complex today. Senior Diego Barrera scored the game-winner in the 82nd minute to even New Mexico's record at 3-3-0 on the season.
Having already dropped two games at home for the first time since head coach Jeremy Fishbein took over for the Lobos, New Mexico desperately needed at positive result in today's match with the defending national champion Gauchos. The Lobos have struggled to score goals at home so far this season, having put just one in the net in their first three games at home. Add to that, the Gauchos boast one of the best defenders in the nation in three-time All-American and Hermann Trophy candidate Andy Iro. The Lobos put aside all of their concerns in the ninth minute when Chris Wright tucked one away from six yards out for his second goal of the year. Sophomore Stephen Brown was credited with his second assist of the year after placing a precise cross from the left side.
The game was very evenly played throughout the first half, with neither team controlling play for long periods of time. Shots were even in the first frame at seven while both teams managed just one corner in the first half. UCSB tied the game in the 29th minute after earning a free kick from 35 yards out on the near side. Jon Curry sent in a bending cross that Chris Pontius headed in for the 1-1 tie.
The Lobos almost took the lead again in the 32nd minute when sophomore Justin Davis got loose on the right side. Gaucho keeper Bryant Rueckner made a great save on the play, keeping the score knotted at 1-1 going into halftime.
UCSB came out in the second half pressuring the Lobos on offense and had two great chances in the 52nd minute. Alfonso Motagalvan took a shot in the box that Lobo keeper Mike Graczyk saved, but didn't control. Curry took another shot from the left side that Graczyk also kept from going in the net, making a diving save. Graczyk, a preseason All-American, made four great saves, all in the second half, to preserve the win.
New Mexico had a great opportunity of their own in the 65th minute on a counter attack. Barrera broke through the backline on his own left side. After carrying the ball across midfield, he fed a streaking Wright who had beaten Iro in the middle. Wright took the ball into the box on the right side, but his shot was just wide of the net.
New Mexico's game-winner was a results of what started to be a busted play. After earning a corner on the left side, Barrera tried to play the ball back to sophomore Stephen Brown. Brown wasn't looking and almost turned the ball over to UCSB in the open field. In his haste, Brown chipped in a soft cross from the left side that was easily cleared by the Gauchos. Senior Joey Vitagliano collected the loose ball on the right side and perfectly placed a cross into the middle of the box that Barrera headed home for the 2-1 win.
"I saw Diego and Brown curling in behind their defenders, so I just dropped it in behind their first two guys," stated Vitagliano. "I knew someone was going to be there, I just hoped they could get it in the net."
Things got ugly after the Lobo score as both team's benches cleared with 38 seconds left on the clock. After a lot of pushing and shoving on both sides, the referees restored order without issuing any cards to either team. UCSB tried to get the game-tying score, but the Lobo defense denied every attempt to seal the win. It is the second time a defending NCAA champion has left the UNM Soccer Complex with a loss. New Mexico defeated No. 1 Indiana 1-0 in double-overtime on Sept. 19, 2004.
UNM improves to 7-16-2 all time against top-10 teams, with three of those wins coming in Fishbein's tenure at New Mexico. Earlier in the day No. 24 Washington defeated No. 3 SMU 2-0 to win the 2007 NIKE/Crescent Financial Solutions Invitational.
New Mexico hits the road for two games next week in California. UNM travels to Cal State Northridge on Thursday, Sept. 20. UNM will also visit San Francisco on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 8:00 p.m. (M.D.T.). The Lobos' next home game is Oct. 5 against Mountain Pacific Sports Federation foe Denver.

I have been thinking about writing this post since the first day after 70.3 Ironman California. At first it was going to be a long the lines of enjoying the down time to recover from the race. Then it was going to be how to recover from the race. It changed multiple times and I am glad I never wrote it until yesterday morning while sitting on my couch at 4am. I got up early because Saturday was going to be my first true action back in the training world.
The week after the race was a couple of days of doing nothing. There was a day of riding the spin bike for 1 hour and 30 minutes. I wound up riding for 30+ miles which I always take 10% off because the spin bike can make you look like Lance Armstrong. One day I went for a 30 minute run and put in 3.6 miles which was awesome. It felt great to be out there for that, but truth be told recovery week #1 has meant a lot of inactivity.
This recovery has truly been worse than taper. With taper I was at least active even if it were for shorter time frames. I could be intense during taper week for 30 minutes and it felt great. Now I can sit on the spin bike for 1 hour and 30 minutes and sweat profusely and still feel like I did nothing because I was not pushing myself. Activity to get my legs back? Yes. Activity to get my mind back? No.
My mind has been a wreck this week about getting back out there. It is fighting itself just about every minute from 3am to 8am. It is fighting to stay asleep because there is no workout to be done, but it is so used to waking up at that time. Once awake I think about all the people that are out there training for their next race and I am jealous about it. I want to be out there, but like a good soldier I follow my Coach's orders. She puts together a plan, that is hours and days and weeks in the making. Who am I to put her hard work in the garbage and not pay attention? There is a reason I work with a coach so that I don't have to think about these things and just do them. So that is what I do. I read Training Peaks and it says OFF so I do nothing. It says 30 minute EZ run and that is what I do.
I am coachable in that regard, but I am not a sit back and watch life go by person. I texted Coach from the transition area and told her that the goal was to run faster after the bike. That is what I wanted to be a focus. Who does this? She told me I was harder on myself than she is on herself and didn't think that was possible. This past week I sent a Facebook message to her asking when training picks back up for CapTexTri and Austin 70.3, and oh how are we going to fit in qualifying for Boston. Who does this? Who doesn't want to sit back and enjoy the couch for a week or two? Me, that's who (I think I just channeled my inner Dr. Seuss.)
There is nothing like pushing yourself to achieve, and I don't care what it's at. Maybe you want to be faster, or maybe a better parent. Knowing that your boundaries are only mental is what is great about pushing yourself. Fight that mental glass ceiling and you will be successful.
It was around Wednesday night or Thursday morning that I came across this article and this article in Active.com that discussed recovery. It was very eye opening because it discussed recovery and planning. How long to recover and what to eat for recovery. It helped for about 12 hours. I said to myself why risk injury? Sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. I have enjoyed those fruits and now I want to get back in the saddle. I want to feel the open road and the wind in my face. I want to wear lycra and spandex and not worry about getting laughed at (that was a joke.)
In reality triathlon is a lifestyle that I have chosen and embraced. It is a part of who I am. It is a love of my life. I can't imagine not having Karen in my life and I feel the same way about SBR. I need it and have to have it. Look, there are worse addictions.
Yesterday I finally got my wish. It was the opportunity to go for a 5 mile walk/run with the participants of Marathon Makeover followed by two hours on the bike. The pace was leisurely but it was the idea of being on the open road. Getting back out there. My schedule next week is a bit more taxing on the body. I actually get to ride for a while and run too. Swimming will be out for another week while the tattoo heals but it feels like the training is going to start up again and I am loving it.
Recovery is just as important as taper, but for recovery is 100x worse.

1 tablespoon
warm water
1/2 teaspoon

A delightful cake! Moist, and the almond flavor is just right.
It seemed more like stiff dough than batter and was too thick to pour and made lumps rather than coating the bottom of the pan. It was very hard to make layers of batter and cranberry sauce. I would use more sauce...but the batter really needs to be thinner to work out right. It was tasty, but I think I will have to keep looking because it was pretty hard to work with. Great taste though! Doubling the recipe did not work :( Took forever to cook!

This cake was good and as others have said it was moist and the almond flavor was just right (I didn't add the blanched almonds). However, it didn't come out as I had imagined it...my problem was too little batter. Although next time I'll try using a bundt pan instead of a tube (being that the bundt has less width to cover with batter).
This is a delicious cake with a wonderful texture. I'll definitely make this again and again.
Maybe I did something wrong, but this did not turn out as I had hoped. The almond extract was a little too much I thought. My girls really liked it though.
My whole family loves this recipe. In fact the last time I made it
my kids were eating before I iced it. I dusted it with confection's
sugar and they loved it. We love cranberries, I may add a little more
next time.
This coffee cake is marvelous. I've made it four times, twice for office Birthdays. Also, made it this Easter for my visiting family and they all wanted the recipe. Such a pretty cake...ummmmm good!
I found this cake to be very dry. I am also not fond of the almond extract in it.

In announcing Sanjay Sharma's appointment as new dean of the School of Business Administration, UVM raved about his "proven leadership within higher education" and his experience in the private sector. Left unsaid was that he also comes to UVM with first-class negotiating skills.
With an annual salary of $320,000, Sharma will be making nearly as much as President Dan Fogel, who is listed this year at $322,563. The current No. 2 in the administrative pay hierarchy is Provost Jane Knodell, at $270,000, followed by Richard Bundy, the new vice president for development and alumni relations, at $260,000.
Sharma's predecessor, Rocki-Lee DeWitt, made $223,900 a year as dean before she went on leave, and Professor Larry Shirland, who has been filling in as interim dean, is listed at the same salary.
Sharma's compensation package also includes up to $10,000 for reimbursement of research expenses.
We asked UVM to explain the salary bump of nearly $100,000 for the new dean and received this statement from Provost Jane Knodell:
"Dr. Sharma is the sitting dean of a highly ranked business school at a major Canadian university. We are paying him a market-driven salary necessary to attract somebody of his caliber in a very competitive national market. Advancing the university and elevating its academic profile requires significant investments and commitments, and I am confident our investment will pay off significantly for the school and the university. We can't just talk about the need to make investments that will strengthen our quality and reputation. If we truly want to be known as one of the nation's premier small research universities, this is the kind of commitment it will take."

Mizzou baseball will close out the 2014 season this weekend as it hosts border rival No. 24 Arkansas for a three-game series at Taylor Stadium, beginning Thursday at 6 p.m. Game two will be Friday night at 6 p.m. and the series finale will be Saturday at 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday's games will be televised live on Cox Sports and ESPN3. It is the ninth time in 10 SEC series that Mizzou will play a ranked opponent.
This weekend will mark a homecoming for Arkansas assistant coach Tony Vitello, who spent eight seasons coaching at Mizzou under head coach Tim Jamieson. In his eight seasons at Mizzou, he helped the Tigers to seven NCAA Regionals as the pitching coach while also helping with hitters. Under Vitello, the Tigers' ERA was consistently among the best in the Big 12 Conference, highlighted by a 3.17 mark in 2005 and a 3.36 ERA in 2006. The 2006 ERA led the Big 12 and was 11th best nationally. He was the primary pitching coach for first round draft picks Aaron Crow and Kyle Gibson, both of whom are now in the majors. Vitello coached at Mizzou from 2003-2010 before leaving for TCU. This is his first season with Arkansas.
This weekend will mark the first meeting between Mizzou and Arkansas as members of the Southeastern Conference. Despite never having met as SEC foes, Mizzou's history with Arkansas runs deeper than any other team in the league. The all-time series dates back to 1904 with Mizzou holding a 28-20-1 advantage. The last meeting came in 2012 at Arkansas, a two-game midweek Razorback sweep.
Mizzou went 0-3 last weekend, playing a three-game series at No. 11 South Carolina and dropping all three. The Tigers managed just four runs against the SEC's top pitching staff, which entered the series with a league-best 2.09 staff ERA. The Tigers lost, 8-2, on Friday night as Brett Graves struggled, allowing eight runs (six earned) on 11 hits while walking three. The eight runs and three walks were season-worsts for Graves. Dylan Kelly and Kendall Keeton tallied RBIs in the loss, Kelly's a game-tying single in the fourth. Aside from Friday, Mizzou pitched very well over the weekend, posting a 1.69 ERA over the final two games of the series. The quality pitching began with sophomore Peter Fairbanks on Saturday as he allowed just one earned run on 10 hits over 6.2 innings, striking out two. South Carolina tacked on two unearned runs to win the game, 3-1, as his pitching effort was for not. It was Fairbanks' second SEC start as he now owns a 1.40 ERA over his last 25.2 innings pitched, spanning five performances. Josh Lester launched his first homer since May 4 of last season in the game, a solo shot on a 2-1 pitch in the first inning. On Sunday, junior Keaton Steele gave Mizzou another qualify effort, allowing seven hits over 8.0 innings before the Gamecocks tallied a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth to win the game, 2-1. Kelly homered in that game, his third of the year and first since April 11 at Kentucky
Arkansas comes into the weekend at 32-21 overall and 13-14 in SEC play after taking two of three from Texas A&M last weekend in Fayetteville. The Razorbacks are led by their incredible pitching staff that owns a 2.39 staff ERA and a .207 opponent batting average. An even more impressive stat may be the Razorbacks' 1.08 WHIP in 53 games. Arkansas has announced starters for both Thursday and Friday's games and both have ERAs under 3.00, highlighted by Trey Killian's 2.29 clip in a team-high 78.2 innings. Friday starter Chris Oliver owns an ERA of 2.84 in 76.0 innings this season as the Hogs' starting pitching has been very good. Jacob Stone (4-0, 1 save, 0.61 ERA) and Michael Gunn (3-2, 7 saves, 1.01 ERA) highlight the Razorback bullpen.
Looking at the Arkansas offense, the team is hitting .266 while slugging .356 with 103 extra-base hits in 53 games. Brian Anderson leads the team with a .327 average and has a team-high 40 RBI and 13 doubles. He is the only player to start every game for Dave Van Horn. Joe Serrano is hitting .304 with 10 doubles and has walked a team-high 24 times this season. Eric Fisher has eight of the Razorbacks' 22 homers and has added 12 doubles while hitting .259. Arkansas has stolen 48 bags on 61 attempts this season.
On Thursday night, both team's Friday night guys will move up a day as Brett Graves will look to out-duel Trey Killian. Graves, at 3-5 overall with a 3.71 ERA has struggled over his last several starts, most recently allowing eight runs (six earned) on 11 hits with three walks at South Carolina last Friday. He will look to right the ship against Killian, who is coming off of an 8.0-inning, two hit outing in a 3-2 win over Texas A&M last weekend. He struck out seven and walked none while allowing one earned run.
On Friday, Mizzou will start a rising arm in Peter Fairbanks as his recent outings are turning heads across the SEC. In fact, Fairbanks has been very good over his last five outings, posting a 1.40 ERA in 25.2 innings pitched. He will face Chris Oliver, who is coming off of a strong outing against Texas A&M in which he allowed five hits and two runs over 7.0 innings in a 7-3 win.
On Saturday, Mizzou will send Keaton Steele to the mound. Steele owns a 2.75 ERA in 24 appearances and has thrown 59.0 innings with complete games in each of his last two outings. Unfortunately for him, he has lost both outings despite allowing just five earned runs. Steele has a 2.13 ERA in his last 12 appearances and in two starts this year, he owns a 2.65 ERA. Arkansas has yet to announce a starter for Saturday.
Mizzou and Arkansas have met plenty of times over the year, most recently in 2012. In all, Mizzou holds a 28-20-1 record over the Razorbacks. Despite the 49 meetings, the program have met just twice since 2000. Mizzou head coach Tim Jamieson is 0-6 all-time vs. Arkansas. The last win for Mizzou over Arkansas came in 1991, an 11-3 win under former Tiger head coach Gene McArtor. The series dates back to 1904 and 18 of the 49 meetings came prior to 1950. Since 1950, Mizzou leads the series, 17-12, and the two foes have never met as SEC affiliates. Mizzou and Arkansas have also played in NCAA Regional action with the Hogs winning in 2004, 10-7, in Fayetteville.
As mentioned above, Mizzou and Arkansas met back in 2012 and in that two-game series, just one current Tiger pitcher saw action.
- John Miles started the Wednesday game in that series and tossed 4.0 innings, allowing just three hits while striking out five against just one walk. He held Arkansas to .200 batting in what was his first career start.
The Tiger bats were quiet in 2012 against Arkansas, which was ranked No. 18 at the time of the series in 2012. The eventual Big 12 Champs were limited to just .129 hitting and just three runs over the two games. Below is a look at some of the notable Tigers who played in that series.
- Case Munson went 1-for-4 with a double and run in that series.
- Jake Ivory went 1-for-5 in two games that year.
- Dillon Everett went 1-for-8 with a run scored in the two-game series.
Injuries to Tiger starting pitchers have shuffled this weekend's rotation, but the good news is Mizzou's pitching has been very good on Saturdays and Sundays. Although the Saturday and Sunday starters will each be moved up a day due to the Thursday-Friday-Saturday schedule, the Tigers should feel confident in their pitching Friday and Saturday. In fact, in the last two Saturday and Sunday outings, Mizzou owns a 1.85 ERA and is limiting batters to seven earned runs in 34.0 innings pitched.
Senior catcher Dylan Kelly has been a bright spot all season long for the Tigers. In fact, he is hitting a team-best .329 this year, but in SEC play he has been even better, hitting at a .333 clip. That mark ranks him 13th in the SEC and fourth among catchers, trailing only Florida's Taylor Gushue, Ole Miss' Will Allen and SC's Grayson Greiner.
Mizzou closer Keaton Steele was forced into the weekend rotation after an injury to Eric Anderson and he made his second start of the season last Sunday at South Carolina. He tossed his second consecutive complete game last Sunday, but unfortunately was tagged with his second consecutive loss. Despite being 0-2 in that span, Steele has a 2.65 ERA in those two starts, pitching 17.0 innings and allowing just five earned runs while walking three and striking out 11. He has thrown 219 pitches in his last two outings as he has been very efficient, averaging 12.9 pitches per frame.
The do-it-all pitcher has both started and closed and acted as a long reliever for the Tigers this season. He has been lights out since late March, posting a 2.01 ERA in 12 appearances, allowing just nine earned runs in 40.1 innings pitched while striking out 33. He also has four saves in that span with a WHIP of 1.06.
Over the last 13 Tiger games, it may be a little surprising to some which Tiger leads the team in ERA. Sophomore Peter Fairbanks owns a team-best 1.91 ERA over the last 13 games as he has appeared in six of those contests, pitching a team-high 28.1 innings, allowing just 26 hits. In his last six appearances, he has held the opposition to just .245 hitting. He has now been inserted into the Tigers' weekend rotation after an injury to John Miles in the Vanderbilt series and he made his second SEC start of the season last Saturday at South Carolina. He allowed just one earned run over 6.2 innings but took the loss for Mizzou. Looking deeper into his numbers, over his last five appearances, the tall righty owns a 1.40 ERA in 25.2 innings pitched having allowed just four earned runs.
Sophomore lefty Austin Tribby leads the SEC and is ranked 18th nationally in pitching appearances with 29 this season. He has appeared in nearly 60-percent of the Tigers' games this season. He has not allowed a run or a hit in each of his last two pitching performances and three of his last four as well.
Under the direction of pitching coach Matt Hobbs, the Tiger hurlers have done a great job limiting walks this season. In fact, the Tigers lead the SEC in walks allowed with just 116, 18 ahead of second-place South Carolina which has 134. The Tigers rank sixth nationally and first in the SEC with their miniscule 2.32 BB/9 average. Mizzou has walked no batters in seven games this season and has walked two or fewer in 32 contests this season. Mizzou walked just two Vanderbilt batters against 15 strikeouts two weeks ago. For the seventh time this season, Mizzou walked no batters in the Friday night game against the Commodores. Mizzou did not walk a batter Sunday at SC until intentionally walking two in the bottom of the ninth.
Aside from ranking sixth nationally in walks per nine innings, the Tigers also rank in the top-10 in strikeout-walk ratio. In fact, Hobbs' hurlers rank 10th nationally at 2.82, a mark that ranks second in the SEC, trailing only South Carolina.
The Tiger pitching staff has been very good at striking out batters while limiting walks. In fact, the Tigers average 2.82 strikeouts per every walk. The strikeout-walk ratio has been a staple of pitching Coach Matt Hobbs as he works with Tiger pitchers. Since he took over the Tiger pitchers in 2011, the Tigers have seen their strikeout-to-walk ratio improve from 1.92 in 2011 to 2.25 last season and seen even better this year with the 2.82 clip.
YR K-BB - Ratio
2014: 327-116 - 2.82
2013: 342-152 - 2.25
2012: 352-193 - 1.82
2011: 409-213 - 1.92
When looking more into the Tiger pitching staff this season, it is easy to see where the point of emphasis from Coach Hobbs has been placed - limiting walks. So far this season, Mizzou is averaging just 2.32 walks per nine innings, by far the best clip during Hobbs' four-year tenure at Mizzou. In fact, since his first year, he has seen that number shrink from 3.70 in 2011 to 3.11 last season and the minuscule 2.32 this season. In Mizzou's first inning against Cincinnati, the Tigers had a streak of 32 innings without a walk snapped.
Yr. BB/9
2011: 3.70
2012: 3.24
2013: 3.11
2014: 2.30
Junior righty Brett Graves was named the No. 22 collegiate prospect in the nation by PerfectGame.org. He is the No. 4 SEC player on the list, following Vanderbilt's Tyler Beede, LSU's Aaron Nola and Kentucky's AJ Reed.
This year, the Mizzou baseball roster features five players that have played together for quite sometime. Brett Graves, Case Munson, Jake Ivory, Brett Peel and Steven Diel all played high school ball for Francis Howell in St. Charles, Mo., winning a state championship together during their senior season.
As the Mizzou baseball program continues its transition into the SEC, the Mizzou Department of Athletics made a major commitment to the program by spending $4 million on a new facility, including a new locker room, coaches office and improved seating at Taylor Stadium. The new facility will be one of the best baseball facilities in the nation and will give players all they need to succeed on site. A state-of-the-art lockerroom, modeled after many big league lockerrooms, along with a team room, an auditorium and training room have been added on site at Taylor Stadium. Also, increased bleachers have been added down the LF line and the old bucket seats have been replaced with new seat-back stadium seats in order to help with the comfort of fans.
Former Mizzou standout Aaron Crow was inducted into the Mizzou Athletics Hall of Fame this year. Crow established himself as one of the most feared pitchers in the nation during the late 2000s in a time of great success for Tiger baseball under Head Coach Tim Jamieson. During his junior season of 2008, Crow was arguably the most dominant pitcher in the game, as he won the Roger Clemens Award, given annually to the top pitcher in college baseball, in addition to being named a consensus 1st-Team All-American. His stats in 2008 were stellar - a perfect 13-0 record, an earned run average of 2.35, four complete-game shutouts and 127 strikeouts (10.65 per nine innings). Had a 43-inning scoreless streak during the 2008 season.
When Josh Lester and Ryan Phillips committed to play baseball at Mizzou, they were unaware that they had a unique connection. In fact, both players played in the 2006 Little League World Series and Lester's team won the tournament. Lester and Phillips never met in the series as the two were in different pools, but both remember watching the other play. Lester's team that won the Little League World Series kept that core group of players intact and went on to win three Georgia State Championships in high school.
Once again this year, KTGR ESPN Radio is the radio home of the Tigers, with all of the game being broadcast on 103.1-FM, 100.5-FM and 1580-AM. The games can also be heard online at KTGR.com. Tex Little is in his 24th season of calling Tiger Baseball and is joined in the booth by Hunter Mense, who is in his fourth year as part of the MU broadcast team.
This is the last series of the year for the Mizzou baseball team. For all the latest on Mizzou baseball, stay tuned to MUTiger.com and follow the team on twitter @MizzouBaseball.

Daniel Dear. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Daniel Dear
Rhea Daniel Dear
Spelled Out
Spellbound, he captured me
But it was only a dream.
Craftily my mind carved
A space where we danced
And he drank honey
From my pomegranate navel.
Gently we caressed
Butterfly kisses extended
Unto flight of heart.
Spellbound, he captured me
But he was only a dream
His rugged jacket and
Camouflages marched
Like ghosts in a desert
An aching in the hollows of my belly
Called out to him
Our wedding day approached
As I searched for wedding dresses
Pressed into
Bridal magazines forever
A flower of international deceit
Instant bravery served like
Coffee wasted unto a table of
Unfinished jigsaw puzzles.
Spellbound he captured me
But I was only a dream
Jacked up into a tiny space
I did not even scream
When my very being splintered
At my second birth
Blood and dust compressed
Clanging in the ears
Of innocent passersby
I dissolved like ice
Buttered popcorn thrown into
A crowded theatre
Surprising everyone yet
Recognizable as marches
For freedom
That will always and never
Be attainable.
He pushed me into a corner
Of my own life and I looked
Out screaming until
I broke the spell.
I captured the dream
Sat it at a distance
Breathing life into it
A dragon blast of oxygen
A parade of hope
Like on January 16
Every year dreaming
Of peace and rightness
Spell broken I captured me
Forcing air into my
Lungs as I expanded
Breath after breath
Thought after thought
Step after step
Lifting my hands
Unto the plow
Reclaiming my raisin
From the explosion
Digging the ditches
Of reconnection
Forming a mound of
Clay into a habitation
Praying arrogantly that all
Spellbound captivity
Will end.

It's maybe then a network connectivity issue. Try rebooting both the iPad and the Router and also updating the latter's firmware.
I think osxx is referring to settings on your TV and related AV equipment.
The audio return channel setting basically enables you to send audio from your TV to an AV Receiver over HDMI without a separate cable. We don't know how you are connected, for instance my ATV is just plugged into my AV receiver via HDMI.
Consumer electronic control tends to be manufacturer specific whereby one OEM remote effectively controls all that manufacturer's devices (up to ten in a set-up) through HDMI (on my Samsung TV it's called Anynet + and I have it turned off)
Playback control I'm not really familiar with, but it I think it is a way of controlling playback of a video compact disc through an interactive menu which I would imagine is probably steam-powered technology now. I would in any case do as osxx suggests and disable these settings on your TV and other equipment and see what happens as a separate test aside from doing the reboots.
Edit I don't have an iPad but do these have sleep settings which may disconnect from a network?

Woodland Middle School Jazz Band members will travel to Vernon Hills for a special performance at 7 p.m. Dec. 17 in the dining court of Westfield Hawthorn Mall, 122 Hawthorn Center. The students will perform a range of holiday songs that include "Jingle Bell Boogie", "Holiday Joy", "Let it Snow!" and "Frosty the Snowman". This unique idea to perform for holiday shoppers transpired as students began to rehearse for a January concert. Band Director Carolyn Awe quickly realized after seeing the students' enthusiasm that waiting until the new year would not suffice. It was through a student's suggestion that she contacted Hawthorn Mall. For information, contact Awe (847) 856-3400.

Ebay has pinned the effectiveness of its data analytics operations on an agile software development framework called Scrum.
According to Patrick Firouzian, senior director of eBay's Asia Pacific IT division, the iterative, collaborative approach allowed analysts to deliver solutions at a competitive pace.
"We want to out-think and out-execute the competition," said Firouzian, who was based in the company's information management and data warehouse in China.
Speaking at the Teradata Universe 2010 conference in Sydney this week, Firouzian described "very, very aggressive" competitors, alluding to Amazon -- "the big A".
Technologies in the online retail market were quickly replicated, he said, adding that new, disruptive innovations were scarce.
Because the Scrum framework involved agile prototyping, it allowed eBay to respond quickly to changing demands, and deliver useful information in days instead of months.
The technique, which involved small teams of two to nine analysts, was initially used to develop solutions for eBay's Trust and Safety (TnS) division.
"We had to be responding to [fraud] as quickly as possible," Firouzian explained.
Scrum was later used in other areas like shipping and billing. Firouzian said that 70 percent of eBay's analytics projects were now based on the Scrum framework.
Meanwhile, eBay's team of analysts had grown from 15 in 2000 to around 400 currently. 90 percent of its data warehouse staff had Scrum master certifications and 96 percent had Teradata master certifications.
Besides detecting and preventing fraud, eBay's data analysts aimed predominantly to "optimise the distance between searching and bidding", based on behavioural and transactional data.
Firouzian noted that while some Web site improvements may only affect one or two percent of transactions, "half a percent is millions of dollars".
He described attempts to determine how best to build customer loyalty with coupons, and how to profile customers based on their search terms.
Ebay also had developed software that would automatically bid on relevant Google AdWords search terms to ensure it received the best value for money from search engine marketing.
The various projects were supported by a decentralised IT environment, and a culture that encouraged and rewarded innovations with contests and patents, Firouzian said.

Wizards preseason: the good, the bad, the weird, and the meh
If you missed last night's 97-94 preseason-opening win by the Wizards, let me save you two and a half hours on your DVR:
Now that that's done, here's a look at who impressed and who didn't in last night's win:
The Good
John Wall-Had one awkward-looking moment at the end of the first half when trying to run a halfcourt set. He ran into Jason Kidd, lost his balance, and looked like a six-year-old trying to ride a bike for the first time. Wall's halfcourt game will come (it's part of the reason Sam Cassell is on that coaching staff), but Wall showed last night that he had the speed, court vision, quick hands and distribution to shine at the NBA level. His 9-11 performance from the foul line was also encouraging.
Andray Blatche-Looked very good finishing around the rim and showed few ill effects from the broken foot he suffered this offseason.
Yi Jianlian-Wizards fans shouldn't count on Yi hitting as many mid-to-long-range jumpers as he did last night. But they should be impressed with his work on the defensive end, where he was agressive on the boards and always seemed to be in the correct position. A big improvement on past years.
The Bad
Nick Young- It wasn't just the two points, one rebound and five personal fouls on 1-for-7 shooting. Young also looked genuinely lost on the defensive end of the floor as well. His night was summed up perfectly when he came off Jason Terry to help on defense, leaving the latter wide open. That's the sort of thing that should be punished by having Young write the following out 100 times: "I WILL NOT LEAVE JASON TERRY WIDE OPEN NO MATTER HOW MUCH I WANT TO LEAVE HIM TO HELP ON THE DEFENSIVE END."
Al Thornton- Two points, one board, three assists on 1-3 shooting. A complete non-entity.
Hilton Armstrong- Two rebounds, two steals, two turnovers in 20 minutes. See my characterization of Thornton above.
The Weird
Gilbert Arenas-Shot the ball well (5-for-9 from the field) and played a surprising 26 minutes on a bad ankle and recovering knee. But we really didn't get the chance to see him test the knee in spectacular fashion.
And then he came out after the game and said this to reporters when asked how he felt, "I lost all feeling a long time ago." All right, then.
The Meh
I'm giving this to everyone else. JaVale McGee had impressive moments and his good chemistry with Wall seemed to have carried over from camp, but McGee should really be putting up more than 13 points and 6 rebounds. Kirk Hinrich had just nine points, but only took seven shots (four from beyond the arc), and does seem to provide the team with a legitimate outside shot. Cartier Martin made some hustle plays--grabbing three rebounds and a steal as well as drawing a charge--but I'll have to see him in person to truly judge him. Same with Lester Hudson, who did hit the game-winning three (thanks in part to some "no way in HELL this game's going to overtime" defense from Dee Brown), but also committed two turnovers and didn't do a whole lot else.

Mitt Romney
A new film following Mitt Romney from his failed first presidential bid in 2007-8 to his doomed candidacy in 2012 may not be political dynamite, but it is an oddly compelling portrait of a very awkward man.
If the GOP is to avoid becoming completely irrelevant, it needs to embrace people who actually understand modern America.
The insane moment of panic on the network when Obama was re-elected "will… live forever", Stewart says.
It would be a mistake to regard the result as a sweeping endorsement of the Obama presidency.
With whites now accounting for only 72 per cent of the electorate, the party's election strategy is bust.
Including, how the Democrats have won the popular vote in five of the last six elections.
The Republican candidate was gracious at the end, but couldn't help looking a bit sad at his defeat.
US president wins decisive re-election after securing key swing states.
The opinion polls have hardened in favour of the President in the last days of the campaign.
In Florida, the Democrat charge is that Republicans are trying to stop black people from voting.

About the Google News case in Belgium
Monday, September 25, 2006
You may have read recently about Google being taken to court in Belgium. Whilst we aren't allowed to comment on the judgment itself, we thought you may want to know the facts of the case -- what actually happened, and when -- and the issues it raises.
In August Google was sued by an organization called Copiepresse, which represents a number of newspapers in Belgium. It argued that our search engine and news site breached these publications' copyright.
In September a court ruled in favor of Copiepresse and ordered us to remove these publishers' content from both Google. be and Google News. We did this within the time specified. The court also required Google to post its ruling to the home pages of Google.be and Google News Belgium.
Last week we asked the court to reconsider its decision and requested that the requirement to post the ruling on our home pages be suspended. The court on Friday 22nd September agreed to reconsider its ruling in November this year, but maintained the requirement that we must post the initial judgment to our home pages for five days or face a fine of 500,000 Euros a day.
As the case will be heard in November, we can only offer general comments on the larger issues it raises at the moment. Any legal discussion must be pursued in court. Nevertheless we do feel that this case raises important and complex issues. It goes to the heart of how search engines work: showing snippets of text and linking users to the websites where the information resides is what makes them so useful. And after all, it's not just users that benefit from these links but publishers do too -- because we drive huge amounts of web traffic to their sites.
Of course, if publishers don't want their websites to appear in search results (most do) the robots.txt standard (something that webmasters understand) enables them to prevent automatically the indexing of their content. It's nearly universally accepted and honoured by all reputable search engines.
Google News is no different than Google web search in this regard: We only ever show the headlines and a bit of text. If people want to read the entire story they have to click through to the newspaper's website. And if a newspaper does not want to be part of Google News we remove their content from our index –- all they have to do is ask.
