BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) – The Bemidji State University women's hockey team battled to a 1-1 tie through regulation Friday afternoon against Ohio State University, but the Buckeyes scored 41 seconds into overtime to earn the win in a 2-1 Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) tilt at the Sanford Center.
The loss eliminates BSU from contending for home ice in the best-of-three first-round WCHA playoff series March 1-3, leaving the Beavers with a 5-18-2 record and a 4-16-2-0 conference ledger. OSU is now 16-9-2 and 11-8-2-2 in the league.
In the opening 20 minutes, each team played conservatively, combining for 13 shots. OSU had seven offerings that went on goal and Hokey Langan and Tina Hollowell each connected with the iron in the frame.
Working on the tail end of the game's first power play, Ally Tarr broke into the Bemidji State zone and hit a third pipe for the Buckeyes on the first play of the second period.
The Beavers, who blocked 26 shots on the afternoon, kept the game leveled until they were able to break through with the game's first goal 2:11 into the middle staza.
Natasha Kostenko (So., F, Fannystelle, Manitoba) took a pass from Abby Williams (R-Sr., F, Alexandria, Minn.) in the neutral zone and drove to the OSU net to give BSU the 1-0 lead.
Kostenko now has at least a point in eight of her last 10 games and leads the Beavers with eight goals. Williams has an assist in three of her last six games after going without a point through the season's first 18 games.
Entering the contest, BSU was 3-2-1 when leading after two period, but the Buckeyes knotted the score just under five minutes into the third. Kim Theut threw the puck on net and Hollowell went upstairs on Bemidji State netminder Abby Ryplanski (So., Winnipeg, Manitoba to knot the score.
Each team had chances to win in regulation, but neither side could convert. MacKenzie Thurston (Sr., F, Ottawa, Ontario) was whistled for a tripping penalty that carried into the first minute of overtime. The Beavers killed off the advantage, but Tarr picked off a BSU breakout pass seconds later and wristed the winning goal past Ryplanski.
After going 0-for-2 on the power play in the 2-1 defeat, BSU has gone nine full games with out a goal on the advantage. The stretch covers 552:29 of game time and 57:24 of time on the man-advantage without a power-play goal and dates back to Dec. 2.
Bemidji State and OSU will complete their regular season series Saturday afternoon at 2:07 at the Sanford Center. The Beavers will then complete the regular season with trips to the University of North Dakota and the University of Minnesota before hosting the University of Wisconsin.

Modern technology, continuous changes in the marketplace, new innovations, and globalization have all paved way for an aggressive and dynamic economy. In an effort to stay competitive and be able to stand the constant changes in the marketplace, more and more companies are realizing the importance and benefits of outsourcing services to third party providers. They are now switching from traditional business management operation to the business process outsourcing, or BPO, practice. Subcontracting services to other companies located in developing countries that offer lower rates of labor and operations helps every business in cutting down expenses. With outsourcing, companies can cut down their expenses to as much as 40-60 percent, and this represents a significant advantage to the business.
The Philippines is one of the outsourcing countries in Asia that is very popular for its vast pool of talented workforce that offers low costs of services. Many foreign companies are outsourcing in the Philippines because of the great advantages that the country offers. Provided below are some of the advantages of relocating operations to the Philippines and its positive effect to the productivity of your business.
· Outsourcing staff in the country provides businesses professionals with expertise in different fields of services. They offer excellent quality of services for lower rates. Outsourcing providers in the Philippines have high standards when it comes to hiring employees in order to meet the growing demands of global outsourcing.
· Filipinos are known for their natural talents and skills. They can easily adapt to the changes in projects and demands of clients. In the Philippines, it is not difficult to find employees that excel in different fields and industries.
· The Philippines has a lower economy compared to the countries where companies that outsource services are located. This difference in economic status results in lower costs of operations and services in the country. Foreign companies can take advantage of the arbitrage or economic difference between the Philippines and their home country in order to double manpower and improve business efficiency and productivity.
· Filipinos are very proficient in the English language, which is the primary communication tool used in outsourcing. Because of this, they can easily understand and deliver the services needed by the client companies in time.
· Outsourcing business activities to the Philippines gives companies the opportunity to improve productivity by having round the clock operation. The time zone difference can be an advantage to double work productivity.
· Training Filipinos to learn business skills and activities takes less time. This can save companies money and precious time and allow them to redirect their focus to the more essential issues in hand.
· The state-of-the-art telecommunication infrastructures in the country hasten the relay of messages, which is an important factor in delivering effective services.
Business process outsourcing in general refers to the practice of subcontracting jobs to other countries. Many companies are embracing outsourcing in the Philippines largely in an effort to cut costs and improve productivity. Indeed, there are a lot of benefits that Philippine BPO can bring to the business, so it is no wonder companies worldwide are seeking a business partner in the country. The Philippines offers the best possible environment for every company so that they can achieve their offshore outsourcing goals.

How to Solve Problems using Empowering Questions
Questions are the answers. Questions determine the focus of our perceptions. How you word your questions play a major role in whether you are moving in the direction of your outcome or digging deeper into the problem.
If you ask a question, "Why can't I do this?", it implies that
(a) there is something to be done
(b) you can't do it
So, in order to answer your question, your brain begins to search for all the reasons why you cannot do it. The questions imply the negative.
Alternatively, asking yourself, "How can I do this so as to make it work?", implies that
(a) it can work
(b) there are number of ways to make it work
(c) I can make it work, it is just a matter of picking the right way
Your mind now uses the embedded implication in your question and searches for how to make things work. The questions imply the positive.
Some examples of unresourceful questions are:
- Why does this always happen to me?
- Why don't I like myself?
- Why can't I ever get along with my partner?
- Why doesn't my partner love me?
- Why can't my partner be more like X?
Now, ask yourself a new question:
How can I ask this in a way that points towards the positive?
Ask question now that imply the positive, such as:
- What is the most elegant way I can solve this problem?
- How many different ways of solving this problem can I come up with?
- How can I most easily stop doing ____?
- How can get along better with my partner?
- What are the ways my partner does love me?
- What good qualities does my partner have?
- What is the most useful question I can ask right now?
- What question can I ask that will best help my partner?

Coaching resources to put power back in your life and in particular, zest and vitality in the morning with the power of questions.
What if questions
Einstein used to ask such questions himself.
Think of a situation where you are feeling stuck and ask:
- What would happen if this was not a problem anymore?
- If I knew that there was a simple solution, what would it be?
- Why haven't I thought of it yet?
- If I made an astounding breakthrough in this area what would it be?
More coaching resources to put power back in your life with the power of questions.
Outcome thinking questions and Blaming questions
Where am I now?
What do I want?
How do I get from where I am to where I want to be?
What's wrong?
Who's to blame?
Who's going to fix it?
'How' vs 'Why' questions
'How' questions are more useful than 'why' in problem solving.
Questions that get the structure of the problem
How has this problem been maintained?
How has the the way the solution has been set up contributed to this problem?
How can I solve this problem?
Why questions
Why is this a problem?
Why can't I solve it?
Possibilities vs Necessities
Possibilities uncover what you can do about a situation. Necessities highlight what you can't do about a situation
Questions to uncover possibilities
What is possible?
What would have to happen for this to be possible?
How could I make this possible?
Necessity questions
What do I have to do?
What is not possible here?
Failure vs Feedback Questions
What are my results so far?
What have I learned from them?
What am I going to do differently as a result of that feedback?
What feedback will let me know that I have succeeded?
Questions about failure
Why have I failed?
How badly did I fail?
Curiosity vs Assumption
Questions to uncover assumptions
What are you assuming about the problem?
What are you assuming about the people involved?
What has to be true for this to be a problem?
Exploring your 'Truth'
Think of something about your partner that you think is true. In this case, pick something negative eg 'My partner never listens to me". "My partner is stubborn".
- Is it true?
Most people answer this question from their perspective and therefore it is very true for them.
- Can you really know that it's true?
This is where people start to doubt the validity of their assumptions.
- How do you reach when you think that thought/tell yourself that story?
This question examines the negative consequences of holding on to their version of the 'truth'.
- What would you be without that thought/story?
Here people explore their reality without their perception of the 'truth' and realize it frees them not to hold on to it anymore. Therefore they are willing to let go of it.

West Nile hits Abilene area
Taylor County reports 4 likely cases
ABILENE - Three Abilene residents and one Taylor County resident have been termed "probable" for being infected by the West Nile virus, according to Larry Johnson, health administrator for the Abilene-Taylor County Health District.
News of the first human cases this year was issued Thursday morning by the city of Abilene.
The victims ranged in age from 24 to 57, according to the report. Three have been treated and released from a local hospital. The infected person who doesn't reside in Abilene lives somewhere along U.S. 83/84, Johnson said. Officials are unsure about the health status of the fourth victim.
There have been four confirmed cases of the West Nile virus in Tom Green County this year.
The Tom Green County Health Department confirmed three cases of West Nile Fever, and one case of West Nile Neuroinvasive Disease, which is a more serious disease, in the county, said Sandra Villarreal, the county's health department manager.
"There are some (possible West Nile Virus infections) that are still being investigated, but there has to be labs on that," Villarreal said. "Some of them may be past infections, and those won't even get counted."
Earlier this summer, a death was reported at Shannon Medical Center of a Concho County resident who succumbed to the virus.
As a precaution the city of San Angelo is in the process of another round of mosquito spraying every street and alleyway in the city. Late last month, the city completed its first round of spraying Skeeter Blitz — a chemical used only by federal, state and local governments for killing adult mosquitoes that create a public health concern.
A West Nile case is not confirmed in a person, Johnson said, until it is given by the state health department. The length of time it takes for the department to give a ruling depends on what type of sample (blood, spinal fluid) is being tested.
But Johnson said he suspects the cases were of the "neuroinvasive" variety, which causes symptoms such as headache, high fever and disorientation.
The infections that occurred in the city, he said, appeared to have occurred in areas in the south central and western parts of Abilene.
A concentrated effort began Thursday morning to administer mosquito-killing spray to those areas of town, said Glenn Bailey, Abilene environmental health manager. The spraying, if weather allows, will continue for the next two days, he said.
There is a small time frame to spray for mosquitoes — from about 4:30 to 7 a.m. If it's still too hot, or too windy, the spray is ineffective, Bailey said. Also, honeybees cannot be out of their hives.
"We're making an effort to knock down the mosquito population as much as possible," he said.
In 2006, Abilene saw four human cases of the West Nile virus, Johnson said. The infection is usually the most virulent in August and September. But infection can occur in other months, too, he said.
"It's possible to see them at any time," Johnson said. "I wouldn't be surprised if there are more."
Forty-three people this year have died in Texas from the virus. Much of the focus for virus prevention has been in Dallas County, where a more aggressive, airborne mosquito spray has been implemented.
A West Nile-related death was recorded Thursday in El Paso.
State officials are calling 2012 the worst year in history for deaths caused by the virus.
Officials instructed residents to stay indoors at dusk and dawn, dress in long sleeves and pants, use insect repellent and drain standing water to prevent being infected.

July 17, 2013
Dear Representative:
On behalf of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation's leading small business advocacy organization, I am writing in strong support of H.R. 2668, the Fairness for American Families Act. A vote in favor of H.R. 2668 will be considered an NFIB Key Vote for the 113th Congress.
H.R. 2668 would delay the requirement that nearly all Americans purchase minimum essential health insurance coverage or pay a tax penalty until 2015. The delay of the individual mandate is needed due to the administrative delay of the employer mandate. The delay would alleviate confusion for small business owners, self-employed individuals and small-business employees. Delaying problematic provisions provides temporary relief for individuals and small businesses, while also validating the underlying problems inherent in the law and its implementation. Perhaps most importantly, delay provides Congress additional time to correct problematic provisions in the law.
In NFIB v. Sebelius, NFIB opposed the individual mandate because we believe the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution does not give Congress the authority to require Americans to purchase a product. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court determined the mandate was proper as a "tax" under Congress' taxing power. Whether a "mandate" or a "tax" penalty, this provision requires small-business owners to spend money -- buy health insurance or pay a tax penalty. This is money they could have used to grow their business and hire more workers.
Without significant changes, this law will continue to cause problems for the small-business economy. Small-business owners support continued efforts to remedy the most harmful provisions in the law that are already impacting their businesses and their employees. Some fundamental reforms include:
• H.R. 2575, the Save American Workers Act, which would change the definition of full-time employee from 30 hours per week to 40 hours per week;
• H.R. 903, the American Job Protection Act, which would repeal the employer mandate that is already preventing business expansion and job creation;
• H.R. 763, the Jobs and Premium Protection Act, which would repeal the small business health insurance tax (HIT) that will increase premiums for the health insurance plans that self-employed individuals and small businesses purchase.
NFIB is dedicated to working with lawmakers to find solutions that work for small business and will consider a vote in favor of H.R. 2668 an NFIB Key Vote for the 113th Congress.

Why do big projects always bust the budget?
Posted By Tom Jackson On April 30, 2009 @ 4:51 pm In Construction News | No Comments
A British professor has completed a study that examines why big public works infrastructure projects are always over budget [1]. His answer: "delusional optimism."
Or you can say it like Doctor House: "People lie."
What's more useful is to examine why. Politicians typically allow projects to be under-designed and underbid to make them more attractive to the public and planning boards. Contractors go along with this charade and then make it up on the change orders. This might seem terribly disingenuous, except, when it's over, most people are glad to have the new infrastructure. Boston's Big Dig was the most notorious example, ballooning from $2-billion to $14-billion. But the people I talk to in Boston love it now that the tunnel is complete and the city is starting to heal after half a century of being cut in two by an ugly freeway locals dubbed the Green Monster.
If the public and the planning boards were more realistic about costs and commitments this wouldn't have to be such a game. But that's human nature.

CEMS MIM graduates gather in Switzerland
11 Dec 2012
Twenty-five University of Sydney Business School students received their CEMS Masters in International Management diplomas during the CEMS Annual Events 2012 conference held at the University of St Gallen in Switzerland last week.
A record 787 CEMS MIM new graduates from 28 accredited member schools across 4 continents were recognized for their achievements at a Graduation Ceremony which is the highlight of the CEMS Annual Events conference.
The six-day annual conference also brought together members of the global academic and corporate CEMS community for discussions, formal announcements and decision making. The topic for this year's conference was 'Responsible Leadership', which is a key objective of the CEMS Master of International Management (MIM) curriculum.
"CEMS is an attempt to set a global standard of excellence for MIM courses by providing an outstanding education to students who aspire to a leading role in international business," said Dean of the University of Sydney Business School, Professor Geoffrey Garrett.
The CEMS MIM degree continually ranks among the top three pre-experience management programs in the world and provides a blend of academic excellence and real-world business experience, characterised by its strong connection to industry through various corporate partners. This year the Business School further consolidated its engagement with the CEMS network through the appointment of Deloitte Touche Tomatsu senior partner, Stuart Osborne, to the CEMS Corporate Partner Board.
"The CEMS program offers a unique opportunity to gain global academic and industry experience, studying at a leading overseas university while working at a top international corporation," said graduand Henrietta Dreyer. "It taught me to apply current theoretical knowledge to real-world cases and to solve problems with others, together, in a team."
Senior Lecturer Kristine Dery, recently appointed Program Director for the Master of Management and Master of Management (CEMS) degree programs, said the Business School's engagement with the CEMS places it in the global perspective, being the only Australian institution accredited to provide the top-ranked CEMS MIM degree.
"As we increasingly become more global in the way businesses and corporations are structured, the internationally-recognised degree gives our students an invaluable postgraduate qualification," concluded Dr Dery.

One thing that helps me stay positive is to remember to get out the cards that I've kept that were special from my birthday and other encouragement cards I've received along the way.
There are a variety of great affirmation card decks available from those like Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Iyla Vanzant, etc. Keep the cards by the computer (and other places you frequent), and read a few cards each time you sit to do something on the computer. If you combine reading positive affirmations with activities that you routinely do, you can help yourself form new, positive thought patterns that will enhance the quality of your day.
I finally got around to printing some of the Sparkcards that are available on the site! They are VERY HELPFUL when trying to explain the website and /or the weight loss journey you've been on or even the whole SP experience!Finally after months and months of telling people ABOUT SP , I actually got THE POINTS [10] from a referral .My friend had MY SPARKCARD and THAT made all the difference! You list your username on it and if the person joining SP puts in YOUR USERNAME as ....
I've always used my credit cards like debit cards. If I don't have the money, I don't charge it. Credit cards have other benefits such as cash back and extra protection, but they don't have to be used to rack up debt. Doing this has kept me free of credit card debt.

TERA articles, we speculated that TERA may be going towards a microtransaction/subscription model thanks to the wording in a press release sent out by Digital River, TERA's online shop service. However, senior producer Brian Knox has sent us a statement that sets the facts straight: TERA is not a microtransaction game.
The rest of the statement sent out by Knox is as follows:
Knox has gone on to confirm that the game will have character services very similar to the offerings of World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, and other MMOs. The company also didn't rule out the future possibilities of adding vanity item sales to the game as well, but that's not a feature the game is focusing on for now."After a press release by Digital River announcing our e-commerce partnership a few players expressed concerns that TERA would be a micro-transaction game in addition to requiring a subscription fee; that is not the case," said Knox.
"TERA is not a micro-transaction or cash-shop item game. The game is built and designed to function as a subscription-based game. We would have to make dramatic changes to the game's design to support micro-transactions and there is no intention of doing so."
The rest of the statement sent out by Knox is as follows:
"TERA will have paid services, which could include character transfer, name change and gender change. We do not have a complete list of these services yet, but we will let you know as we confirm them - those services will likely be available inside the game."
"There may be a point in time of TERA's lifecycle that we offer "vanity item" sales, pets, and other items that players have enjoyed in other AAA+ titles.
"To clarify the press release further; Digital River OFFERS many options to En Masse to choose from for TERA and for future products we publish.
"We're more than happy to answer questions, and hope that this clarification allays any concerns you might have."

LONDON (AP) - A British jury has been dismissed after failing to reach a verdict in the trial of Vicky Pryce, the ex-wife of a former U.K. cabinet minister who resigned after lying for years about a speeding ticket.
Pryce had pleaded not guilty to the charge of obstruction of justice for taking the fall for a speeding penalty for her then-husband, Chris Huhne, in 2003. She claims she was coerced by her husband into taking the license points for his speeding offense.
Huhne pleaded guilty to that same charge earlier this month. The case has shattered his political career.
The jury in Pryce's trial was discharged Wednesday at London's Southwark Crown Court after telling the judge it was "highly unlikely" they could reach even a majority verdict.

I chose my pet's name because:
After Father Joe Ryan -- great Catholic Chaplain and friend.
If I could change one thing about my pet, it would be: She has arthritic joints.
My pet's worst habit is: Snoring some nights -- sleeps in her bed in our room.
I wish my pet could: Fetch the newspaper.
Nobody knows my pet: Likes to go to Starbucks with me and I get her pumpkin bread.
My pet's best asset is: Kindness to everyone including the grandkids.
If I had to choose a different pet, it would be: I would get another Lab.
My pet's favorite treat would be: ''Milk Bones'' and pumpkin bread.
My favorite time of the day to spend with my pet is: Night - she is glad when I get home.

A Poem By Joseph Lease
Death is here, you took a photo, sure, death
Is near, remember, remember, today we fight
Like birds, fight like burning rags, today we
Fight like gods, today we die for gods, how
Much is that ahi in the window, here you
Are, here we are, no mercy, no future, lots
And lots of turkey sausage, death tangles,
Death shakes, death breakfast served all
Night, death tangles, death shakes, death-
Flavored ice-cream, deathberry gum
Joseph Lease's critically acclaimed books of poetry include Testify (Coffee House Press, 2011), Broken World (Coffee House Press, 2007), and Human Rights (Talisman House, second edition forthcoming). Lease's poems "'Broken World' (For James Assatly)" and "Send My Roots Rain" have been selected for Postmodern American Poetry: A Norton Anthology (Second Edition).

Your official information source from the .NET Web Development and Tools group at Microsoft.
Some customers discovered that sometimes switch to Design view was very slow. We analyzed submitted reports and tracked the issue down to a code that was discovering available AJAX Extenders and which contols they were applicable to. In order to avoid unnecessary delays we moved discovery of AJAX extenders to a background thread. This made switch to Design view significantly faster since designer is now available immediately while extenders are still being enumerated. Here is a screenshot, look at the status bar that shows "Discovering AJAX extender controls..." and displays a small progress indicator:
If you select a control before applicable extenders are discovered, the control will not display its smart task menu and/or will not have "Add Extender..." menu item.
Unfortunately, if control is selected, due to architectural limitations we cannot update its smart task availability. Therefore you may have to unselect and reselect the control in order to let it update its smart task menu.
I was unable to get the debugger to register anything for the devenv.exe process or the setup.exe process. Unfortunately time was of the issue and after a couple of attempts at getting VS2008 to allow the design component to work (including a complete re- install of service pack3 and re-install of VS2008+SP1) I figured it was probably my machine as I had a couple of other separate software issues that were hanging around. After a complete re-install of XP, it's now running nicely.
The only problem that I had on installing after the rebuild was on inserting the VS 2008 DVD it kept crashing svchost.exe at 50%. I found that this was caused by the Sonic Record now package DLACTRLW.exe which needs to be removed from HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run
Hi I just downloaded SP 1 for VS 2008. I am on Win Server 2003 SE, Office 2003, SQL 2005.
I also have VS 2003 - since all our applications are on Framework 1.1
Design view just doesn't work - it hangs indefinitely. I tried most of the fixes suggested:
1) Uninstalled and reinstalled Web Authoring component
2) Included the path for VWD before Office 11 in PATH under environment variables
3) Uninstalled and reinstalled VS 2008
Nothing works .. we're back to using VS 2003 and a wasted VS 2008 buy :(
Sorry to hear that you are unable to use VS 2008 Sp1. We would like to investigate the issue you are having, and hopefully resolve it for you.
Can you obtain a debug dump from the frozen VS, zip it and send email to balach-at-microsoft-dot-com? For details on how to get the debug dump, please see this post http://blogs.msdn.com/webdevtools/archive/2008/09/08/what-to-do-when-vwd-crashes-or-hangs-on-you.aspx
Over the last few months we've collected information on various issues related to design view not working

Leafs give up on Sundin! Armstrong best Leafs Captain Ever!
The wheels have fallen off and this season appears to be gone. Leafs Nation is calling for blood, starting from the top down, or down up, or anything to prove that MLSE wants to win a cup. I agree with my fellow Leafs fans, change is required now, but I must say that I do not agree with people still defending Sundin.
It's not just about winning games Leafs Nation, it's about winning a cup. Leafs fans continue and unfortunately will continue to support a team that is not driven to win a Stanley Cup.
I grew up playing hockey and the goal was always to win a championship. Even playing street hockey as a youngster, the goal was to pretend winning the cup.
Which leads me to the main point. Mats Sundin, arguably the best offensive Leafs player of all time has repeatedly said he does not want to leave Toronto, it is his home, he wants to finish his career here and reap the benefits of Toronto hockey popularity. A cup could be waiting for him in Pittsburgh, Detroit, or Anaheim, but this does not interest him. And with the hapless state of the Leafs it is obvious he will not win a cup in Toronto.
I respect Sundin for his abilities and his love for Leafs Nation.
What I cannot take anymore is this: it was Yzerman as captain who won the cup, not Federov; it was Sakic as Captain who won the cup, not Forsberg; it was Neidermayer as captain who won the cup, not Selanne (and not Alfredsson); it was Scott Stevens; it was Mark Messier; it was Wayne Gretzky; it was Guy Carbonneau; it was Mario Lemieux; it was Rod Brindamour; it was Vincent Lecavalier; and yes Leafs Nation it was George Armstrong in 1967, the GREATEST LEAFS CAPTAIN OF ALL TIME.
It will be Sydney Crosby who wins a cup; and Patrick Kane; and Joe Thornton; and maybe even Jerome Iginla.
It has not been Pavel Bure; or Alex Mogliny; or Borje Salming.
It's not about the name on the back of the Jersey Mats, you play for the symbol on the front. Mr. Armstrong brought the Leafs 4 Stanley cups to be exact. Darryl Sittler was the first of 2 Leafs who got over 100 points in a season (and 10 points in a game), the second was Doug Gilmour, not you Mats. Rick Vaive was the first of 2 to score 50 goals, Dave Andreychuk was second, sorry not you Mats!
Even the current Leafs prove this game in and game out. Teams are always taking shots at Sundin and yet no other Leafs come to help. Anyone remember what recently happened when Anaheim thought that the Leafs took a run at Perry?
I hate taking away Sundin's thunder as one of the best Leafs ever but he is not the captain that is capable of bringing a cup here. Toronto needs a cup not a money player who averages a point a game as his best qualification.
Sign Sundin for 3 more years and 3 more years will come without a cup.

Eagles use goals by McNeill and Black to overcome early one-goal deficit
In its second game of Big Sky Conference play, the Eastern Washington University women's soccer team tasted victory once again.
The Eagles outlasted Idaho State on Sunday (Sept. 23) for a 2-1 win at the EWU Sports and Recreation Center Soccer Field in Cheney, Wash. The Bengals struck early and took a 1-0 lead, but were unable to hold on, as the Eagles added two goals of their own.
The game-winning goal was scored at the 51 minute mark. Eastern's Cassie Black rocketed off an open shot that found the back of the net. The unassisted goal was the third game-winner of the season for the sophomore forward from Battle Ground, Wash. Black has recorded five goals in 2012, and 11 in her career.
"Cassie's goal could not have been more perfect," said head coach George Hageage. "She blasted it and put it perfectly on frame. She has been working hard and she is doing well, so it was great to see her get a goal like that."
In the first half, Idaho State controlled the kick-off. The Bengals quickly worked the ball down the field to Amanda Ellsworth, who slipped it in the goal for a 1-0 lead after just 22 seconds had elapsed.
"The message we have been preaching is how to face adversity," said Hageage. "That was adversity – giving up a really simple ball so early in the game and suddenly they put it in the back of the net."
The Eagles did not let the early goal discrepancy put them out of the game though, and responded 24 minutes later with a goal from senior Kasey McNeill. McNeill connected on a pass from Black and netted it for a 1-1 tie at the half. It was McNeill's second goal of the season, and fourth of her career. Black's assist was her second this season.
"It was great to see Kasey get a goal to equalize it," said Hageage. "I think all our forwards did well holding the ball and finding players. We also saw good things from the midfield. Brittney Conway came back strong and got her legs back under her. She and Katy Allen were a big part of controlling the midfield today."
Eastern's defense had a strong showing in today's victory, only allowing the Bengals to make 14 shooting attempts all game.
"We are talking about being stronger," said Hageage. "In the past, if we give up a goal like we did, our heads go down, and we are done. But we fought back and limited their scoring opportunities. It was great to see Brianna [Brannan] and Katie Cashman do so well in the center back. And Nathalie is also playing great. Now for our next games, we just need to work on possession and not becoming so panicked once we gain a lead."
The Eagles hit the road for their next conference match against Sacramento State on Friday (Sept. 28). The game is set to take place at Hornet Field in Sacramento, Calif. at 4 p.m.

Creative accounting practice and business performance: evidence from Pakistan.
Malik, Ali and Liu, Jonathan and Kyriacou, Orthodoxia (2011) Creative accounting practice and business performance: evidence from Pakistan. International Journal of Business Performance Management, 12 (3). pp. 228-241. ISSN 1368-4892

This paper explores the issue of creative accounting and evidence of its use in Pakistan. The financial characteristics of Pakistani companies, officially or publically identified for using some form of creative accounting are investigated and explored. Through the use of financial ratios and a control sample of companies identified for not having used creative accounting are analysed and compared. Survey results show statistically significant differences in sample-control comparison of ratios and indicate that there appears to be a convergence of opinions on the use of such practices. Further, the findings provide evidence that financial characteristics, as measured by ratios, could be used as a tool to identify companies that are likely to be involved in creative accounting and therefore form a basis for measuring, controlling and influencing how company performance may be perceived.
