Some might find it hard to believe, but RIM's business oriented devices can now be used to get some game time in with the arrival of Command & Conquer 4. The real-time strategy game that was popularized on the PC is now available to BlackBerry owners who really want to showcase the kind of gaming prowess the platform has to offer. From the looks of it so far, the graphics are pretty admirable and can really get some people addicted to its game-play. However, not all BlackBerry smartphones will be able to experience the same joys of the game because it seems to run pretty good on current generation devices – meaning the Storm, Bold, and Torch. If you happen to be sporting an extremely older model, just don't expect to see some stunning visuals.
Regardless, it's nice to see a good game like this finally reach out to BlackBerry handsets since it's one area that seems lacking right now. Thankfully, it's not going to cost you an arm and a leg to play this game since it sports a reasonable $6.99 price tag which is definitely something worth it when you consider the amount of time required in playing the game.

One of the most memorable trips we have made so far for Making of Champions was our trip to Portugal to meet Nigeria's 200m record holder and Europe's 100m record holder, Portugal's 100m Olympic Silver Medallist, Francis Obikwelu! Here's a short clip from my trip, where he talks about how Lagos, Nigeria got its name from
Yohan, Shelly-Ann and Asafa at Champs!!!
One of the highlights of our trip to Jamaica was getting to meet many of the stars of Jamaican Track & Field, that have helped catapult them to global domination in the sport in the last 10 years. We chose to go to Jamaica during their High School Championships, CHAMPS, for the very purpose of meeting

Known Issues for Managing Resets, Startup, and Shutdown
Updated: March 28, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
Review the following known issues before you manage Windows Firewall resets, startup, and shutdown.
Make sure the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing service is running before you start any programs or system services that are listed in the program exceptions list. If you start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing service after you have started programs that are listed in the Windows Firewall exceptions list, restart your computer and then start your programs and system services. Windows Firewall cannot track the state of a program's traffic if the program is started before you start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing service.
Do not run Windows Firewall if you are running Routing and Remote Access. Routing and Remote Access uses a firewall that cannot be used with Windows Firewall. For more information, see Basic Firewall on the Microsoft Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=43159).
Do not run Windows Firewall on a server that is running a perimeter firewall, such as Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004. The protection that Windows Firewall provides in this situation is redundant and unnecessary. In addition, Windows Firewall can cause perimeter firewalls such as ISA Server to function improperly.
Do not permanently run Windows Firewall on a domain controller. Instead, use Internet Protocol security (IPsec) to protect incoming traffic on a domain controller. You can use Windows Firewall on a temporary basis (for example, to protect a domain controller from attack while you install security updates, virus signatures, or security software).
Do not use Windows Firewall on a computer that is running a non-Microsoft host firewall. Although it is possible to run two host firewalls on a single computer, it is not recommended that you do so. Host firewall implementations vary widely and there is no guarantee that a non-Microsoft host firewall and Windows Firewall will work well together.
Do not change the Startup type or status of any service on which Windows Firewall relies. Changing the Startup type or status of a dependent service can prevent Windows Firewall from starting or running properly. For more information about these dependent services, see the section titled "How Windows Firewall Works" in the Windows Firewall Technical Reference on the Microsoft Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=42729).
You might not be able to start Windows Firewall if Administrative Templates from the Windows XP Security Guide were applied to the computer before Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) was installed. For more information, see article ID 892199 on the Microsoft Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=45337). The article describes why the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing service might not start and how you can configure the service so it behaves properly when you use Administrative Templates.
When you reset Windows Firewall, the settings that you specified in Netfw.inf are reapplied to the computer; all existing Windows Firewall settings are deleted. Any Windows Firewall settings that you specified in an answer file, such as Unattend.txt, are deleted and are not restored. If you want to restore the Windows Firewall settings that you configured during installation with an answer file, you must configure the settings manually.

First mark action - Sylt 2008
2008 PWA Colgate World Cup - nine heats down in the first slalom race, and there's already plenty to talk about from day one in Sylt.
Following registration and a typically high profile Sylt opening ceremony the previous day, all the PWA fleets were rigged ready to compete in whatever day one threw at them.
As it turned out, the morning was to be a leisurely affair, bathed in sunshine and teased by light westerly winds. The afternoon looked to follow a similar pattern until the sun started to drop, and a modest 7-11 knot breeze arrived at the competition area.
Springing into action, the race committee quickly tweaked the four buoy downwind slalom course for the start of the very first heat of the event.
Two heats down, and just as proceedings looked to be following a relatively predictable path, Josh Angulo (MauiSails, Dakine) made a catastrophic error, when he crossed the finish line from the wrong side in his heat 3 clash. The shock mistake meant that he not only had to relinquish his victory, but also failed to qualify for the subsequent round of the race.
As normality looked to be restored, the next big surprise of the day came when 2008 Slalom World Champion, Antoine Albeau (Starboard, NeilPryde) failed to qualify from his heat 8 showdown. The usually dominant Frenchman looked to have a firm grip on second place in the heat, until he stalled exiting the second gybe mark, leaving his rivals free to pass him.
As the swarming crowds lining the beach came to their senses after Albeau's shock departure, they were to witness another rare spectacle, when current slalom number three, Kevin Pritchard (Starboard, Gaastra, Dakine, MFC) missed out on qualification from his round two heat, by just one position.
Quentel leads from Albeau - Sylt 2008
Entering the subsequent heat, the wind backed off, forcing the race officials to abandon the heat and call an end to the first, and highly controversial day of competition in Sylt.
If day one's events were anything to go by, the coming days are going to deliver ample loads of windsurf competition that's as varied and unpredictable at the Sylt weather.
Be sure to tune back into pwaworldtour.com tomorrow, to follow all the action from day two of the 2008 PWA Colgate World Cup, Sylt, starting with the skippers meeting at 10.30am.

Pakistan must bat positively - InzamamComment on this story
Karachi - Pakistan's most-capped player Inzamam-ul-Haq has called on the current team to show a more positive attitude with the bat in the remaining Test of their three-match series against South Africa.
South Africa defeated Pakistan by 211 runs in the first test and then beat them by four wickets in the second test in Cape Town on Sunday.
"I thought we were in with a good chance to win the second Test but a passive approach in batting cost us the match," Inzamam told Reuters on Monday.
"What concerns me is the scoring rate of our batsmen. Even after getting settled in if they are not going above three runs per over against the world's top side than how can we expect to beat them?"
Inzamam said centuries to Younus Khan and Asad Shafiq on the first day of the second test should have set the tone.
"But we continued to play under pressure from their bowlers who are no doubt the best in the world but certainly not invincible," he said. – Reuters

Sheema's Group
Her husband has a job. However, his income was not enough for the whole family, which is why Sheema started her business. She has developed a good reputation in her community for her customer dealings and good quality services. She is very experienced in her business and has been operating it for several years.
Sheema has applied for a loan from KIVA partner Asasah for her grocery business. With the investment, she will purchase grocery stock like sugar, spices, cooking oils etc in bulk, which will allow her to fulfill her client orders on time and earn higher profits. She is confident of her store's success after investing the loan. Note: In the photo, Sheema is the lady holding a book (called Asasah Passbook).
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Bathing with baby
I've taken a bath with my lo a couple of times while my dh has been at home, but I'm scared I'll slip while getting out if I don't have someone there to grab her. Regardless of the method of her bath she loves it lol. My lo has spit up in the tub and more than likely peed but hasn't pooped yet. I've had to bathe her after major blowouts of her diapers though.

Expecting our pumpkin around 10/30/2012!
I make the water very warm, but not as warm as I would normally bathe. My LO makes it very clear if it's too warm...she squints her eyes, so cute! But, since she is partially out of the water for most of the bath, she doesn't mind it a bit warmer than normal. Then, when DH gets her out, I scald myself for a few minutes to warm up! lol
As for the poop, it hasn't happened with me yet (only happened once by herself). It would be a total drainer! Then, rinse, refill, rewash! ;c)
I wrap my son tight in a towel and set him in his bouncy seat till I dry off and then I put on a robe and dress my son, then dress myself. He never has an issue as long as he's wrapped up tight
My DH grabs her from me after she is done so I can wash up myself real quick.

Online Courses:
AIU has the feel of being in a classroom, yet the flexibilty to have time inbetween my 2 jobs for work.
Online Courses:
Learning IT information by an online course helps support the learning platform and gives the student a better understanding of the IT field. Students are required to do all their classes online and be self driven. The course path is written out in the beginning and you are put on this path and know what is required of you, the student, from the beginning. Each class has a good ratio between the instructor to students which give ample time to allow the instructor to give instruction and for the student time to ask questions.
Online Courses:
Online courses are very easy for me to use, they allow me time to take care of my everyday busy life. But I still have time for school at night time. The workload is manageable, the professors are nice and easy to reach if needed. Chatting with students in the online chats is fun.
Online Courses:
The only difference I see in the online experience is the benefit of doing my schoolwork around my schedule. Otherwise, because of the recorded online chats from instructors, the ability to interact with other students, and the workload, in my opinion, is very close to other traditional classroom settings.
Online Courses:
The online classroom environment is one of the best I've seen from a dozen colleges.

Iowa State: Toledo head coach Matt Campbell has agreed to become Iowa State's next head coach, according to the Toledo Blade. The paper reports Toledo's offer was a raise to more than $800,000 annually, but Iowa State's offer was much more. Read more here.
Missouri: Rivals.com reports Mizzou will meet with Temple head coach Matt Rhule on Sunday.
LSU: Athletic director Joe Alleva announces that Les Miles will remain as head coach, following LSU's win over Texas A&M. Miles was told after the game. Miles also said staff changes will be considered. ESPN's Joe Schad reports the decision to keep Miles was made in the third quarter. Here is more from Miles.
Missouri: Defensive coordinator Barry Odom will have a second interview for the head coaching position, according to Fox Sports' Alex Marvez.
Auburn: Gus Malzahn said after Saturday's loss to Alabama, "I am not talking about any staff changes. I am talking about the fact that we are disappointed. We are disappointed that we didn't find a way to win at the end, and that's what we are thinking about right now."
USC: After beating UCLA and winning the Pac-12 South, interim head coach Clay Helton was asked if he's done enough to get the full-time job. Players said absolutely. Helton said, "That is not my job. That's y'all's job. Like I told you when I took it, my job is to look over these kids and help them win every game we're associated with. We've got another one in seven days. We'll enjoy this one tonight, and then we've got an opportunity to be Pac-12 champions. That's pretty big stuff. My only focus is on that. I'll let guys who speculate speculate, but my job is this team right now." Helton is 5-2 since taking over.
Memphis: Justin Fuente is expected to be introduced as Virginia Tech head coach on Monday, but a contract has not yet been signed as of Saturday night, according to The Commercial Appeal, which adds that co-offensive coordinator / running backs coach Darrell Dickey is expected to become Memphis' interim head coach.
Toledo: The school confirms it has made an offer to head coach Matt Campbell on a contract extension and raise as Iowa State makes its run at Campbell.
Michigan State: MSU's Big Ten East title earns Mark Dantonio a $100,000 bonus, according to USA Today.
Virginia: Asked about his future, Mike London told reporters, "We'll see what happens. I feel like this team is close, very close. I don't make those decisions, but I'm mature enough to know this is the profession that we live in. … We'll see. I'd love to be the head coach of this team, if the opportunities are afforded, but I feel proud about what goes on with this program, what I've done, and I hope that character and integrity mean a lot. I know W's do as well. But I'm at peace with myself right now." The Cavaliers finished 4-8 this year.
Rutgers: Asked about his job status, Kyle Flood told reporters, "I haven't spoken to anybody in the university. Nobody has given me any indication that I wouldn't be the football coach. I get those questions, and I think the shame of those type of questions is they lead other people to believe that there's some question about it. To my knowledge, there's no question about it. I'm the head football coach, been here for four years now. … I fully expect to be the head coach here for a long time." The Scarlet Knights finished 4-8 this year.
Iowa State: Toledo head coach Matt Campbell is the front-runner for the Iowa State head coaching job, and a deal is expected in the next 48 hours, according to Sports Illustrated. However, Austin American-Statesman reporter Ryan Autullo reports Toledo is prepared to offer Campbell a deal to make him the highest-paid coach in the MAC. Autullo previously worked at the Toledo Blade newspaper.
Georgia: After Georgia's win over Georgia Tech, Mark Richt told reporters, "The plan for me is to get on the recruiting trail and keep nailing down a great class, and getting prepared for this bowl game, and getting prepared for the future at Georgia." He added that there's been no conversation about his future.
Missouri: Quarterbacks coach Andy Hill will serve as interim head coach, according to multiple reports. Missouri finished the regular season at 5-7.

Durkin, UConn head coach Bob Diaco, Toledo head coach Matt Campbell and Coastal Carolina head coach Joe Moglia.

LSU: Asked what he said to the booster club, Les Miles tells SEC Network: "How much I enjoyed their contribution to our program. I do a weekly talk to them. That's all it was. I had no suggestion this could be my last game." What is Miles' message to his players? "I tell them the truth. I tell them what I know. To this point, they seem to have handled it well." What does Miles know about his future? "Do the job that I'm doing."
LSU: ESPN's Chris Low tweets, "Jimbo Fisher would clearly be LSU's top target. If he elected to stay at FSU, not out of the realm that (Les) Miles could survive."
Hawaii: The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports five candidates have interviewed for the head coaching job: Former Hawaii and SMU head coach June Jones, Nevada offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich, Tulsa co-defensive coordinator Brian Norwood, former Army head coach Rich Ellerson and former Kaiser High School (HI) head coach Rich Miano. No other candidates are expected to be considered.
Boise State: The Broncos' 40-23 win over San Jose State is Boise State's eighth win of the season, giving Bryan Harsin a one-year extension worth at least $1.85 million, according to USA Today.

Toledo: Head coach Matt Campbell tells reporters he hasn't talked to any other schools and his only interest is the Toledo football team right now. Toledo's next game will be its bowl game.
LSU: (Update above) NOLA.com reports that Les Miles told a booster club Friday that Saturday will be his final game at LSU, but The Advocate reports Miles did not say that at all. So there appear to be mixed signals. Both papers cite multiple people at the meeting. (UPDATE: LSU says he didn't indicate that he is resigning.) Miles has still not been told of a decision, but ESPN's Joe Schad reports LSU leadership is "heavily in favor" of a change, and Jimbo Fisher would be LSU's primary target.
UCF: Bruce Feldman notes that Florida defensive coordinator Geoff Collins is getting strong support from key people at UCF. Collins is expected to interview this weekend, per Rivals.com.
Philadelphia Eagles: Defensive coordinator Bill Davis says Chip Kelly won't leave the Eagles by his choice. "Chip isn't going anywhere," Davis told NJ.com. "Nope. I promise you that. … Absolutely (committed). Not kind of committed. All-in committed. I know it. He is a fighter. He don't run." The Eagles are 4-7.
Austin Peay: The school wants a head coach by Dec. 15, and some coaches who have expressed interest to The Leaf-Chronicle include Eastern Kentucky offensive line coach Walt Wells, former Central State head coach E.J. Junior and local high school coach Kurt Page. The paper notes Georgia Tech linebackers coach and former APSU player Andy McCollum would be the front-runner if he wants the job.
Howard Payne (TX): Offensive coordinator / assistant head coach Hunter Sims will take over as head coach at the start of the spring semester. Current head coach Roger Geise will retire at the end of this semester after four years as head coach.
Texas: Asked about staff changes after Thursday's loss to Texas Tech, Charlie Strong told reporters he'll wait until after the season and he hasn't even thought about the staff. Here is more from Strong.

Here are today's News, Notes & Quotes.
The state of the coaching carousel entering the weekend.
UCF: Rivals.com reports that UCF's search is focused on four candidates: Bowling Green head coach Dino Babers, North Carolina defensive coordinator Gene Chizik, Florida defensive coordinator Geoff Collins and Florida co-defensive coordinator Randy Shannon. The site adds that interviews are expected to happen Saturday and Sunday.
LSU: LSU's potential buyout for Les Miles could be $11 million or less, instead of $15 million, according to USA Today. Miles' contract calls for him to be owed $15 million if he is dismissed by Dec. 31, but it also says that will be reduced by the amount he's already been paid during his contract year, which is $4 million so far. It will also be offset by his potential next salary, as he would be required to seek related employment. Miles would receive his payments in equal monthly installments through an eight-year period.
Chip Kelly: NFL Network's Ian Rapoport notes that colleges are "more of a threat" to land Chip Kelly than NFL teams if he leaves the Eagles, but Rapoport added, "Nobody close to him actually knows what he's going to do."
Tulane: Fox Sports' Bruce Feldman notes two possibilities for the Tulane head coaching job include LSU running backs / associate head coach / recruiting coordinator Frank Wilson and Penn State defensive coordinator Bob Shoop.
Washington: Head coach Chris Petersen has signed a two-year extension through 2020, according to Sports Illustrated's Pete Thamel. Petersen will continue to make $4 million per season. He is 13-12 in two seasons at UW.
Louisiana-Monroe: Southern Miss offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Chip Lindsey is in the mix for the ULM head coaching job, according to Fox Sports' Bruce Feldman.
Fresno State: Offensive coordinator / quaterbacks coach Dave Schramm will not return next season, according to Sports Illustrated's Thayer Evans. He will still coach in Saturday's finale. Schramm has been on staff since 2012 after seven years at Utah. Keep track of open FBS assistant jobs here.
Illinois: The school is considering a two-year deal for interim head coach Bill Cubit, according to the Chicago Tribune, as it also goes through a search for a new chancellor and athletic director.
Tulane: Head coach Curtis Johnson is expected to be dismissed after Friday's game against Tulsa, according to USA Today's Dan Wolken, who adds that a new athletic director is expected to be hired next week. Outgoing AD Rick Dickson says a decision has not been made. Read more here.
Cal: Cal's win over Grambling State has been approved as a sixth bowl-eligible victory, meaning the Bears will go to a bowl game regardless of Saturday's outcome.
Illinois: Interim athletic director Paul Kowalczyk tells the Tay and Jay Show in Urbana that a decision on interim head coach Bill Cubit's future will be made on Sunday.
North Texas: Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley, Baylor offensive coordinator Kendal Briles and Texas wide receivers coach Jay Norvell are no longer candidates for the North Texas head coaching job, according to the Denton Record Chronicle. The paper adds that remaining potential candidates include TCU co-offensive coordinators Doug Meacham and Sonnie Cumbie and Houston offensive coordinator Major Applewhite.
Broyles Award: Here are the 34 nominees for the top assistant coach.
Hawaii: Defensive coordinator Tom Mason and graduate assistant Randall Joyner have been reassigned to administrative duties, and defensive backs coach Abraham Elimimian will call defensive plays for Saturday's finale, according to multiple reports.
Austin Peay: Athletic director Ryan Ivey tells The Leaf-Chronicle he hopes to hire a new head coach by Dec. 15.
Detroit Lions: Former NFL general manager Ernie Accorsi will consult the Lions in their general manager search.
Memphis: Justin Fuente expanded his thoughts on being linked to Virginia Tech, telling Sports 56 it's premature to say anything will or won't happen.
Minnesota: Tracy Claeys says Jerry Kill will be at Saturday's finale against Wisconsin and will likely be on the field.
Michigan: Asked about a reported interview at Maryland, defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin told reporters Wednesday, "To answer rumors and speculation right now and put something to it (isn't something I'll do). My total focus, 100 percent, is on Ohio State and nothing else this week."
Illinois: 670 The Score reports that Illinois is dealing with "considerable turmoil" as the school has an interim chancellor, interim AD and interim football coach. Trustees, boosters and alumni can't agree on much. A source tells CoachingSearch that Colorado AD Rick George was the top choice for AD, but he has publicly stated he's staying at CU. One name to keep an eye on for the AD job is Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley, who was Illinois' men's tennis coach from 1992-2005. Men's golf coach Mike Small is another possibility.
South Carolina: Houston head coach Tom Herman has withdrawn his name from consideration for the South Carolina head coaching job, according to Yahoo Sports' Pat Forde. Herman had been the school's top choice, and third-party talks had been extensive. Forde adds that the option of Herman staying at Houston is "a growing possibility."
LSU: Les Miles says he hasn't spoken to AD Joe Alleva about his job. Here is more from Miles.
South Carolina: Alabama defensive coordinator / linebackers coach Kirby Smart has emerged as the frontrunner for the South Carolina head coaching job, according to Fox Sports' Bruce Feldman.
Memphis: If Justin Fuente leaves, the school is interested in UAB head coach Bill Clark, according to CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd. Missouri defensive coordinator Barry Odom would also be expected to get a serious look.
Maryland: Michigan defensive coordinator / linebackers coach D.J. Durkin recently interviewed for the Maryland head coaching job, according to Yahoo Sports' Pat Forde.
Illinois: Virginia Tech defensive coordinator / inside linebackers coach Bud Foster is a candidate for the Illinois head coaching job, according to Rivals.com.
Memphis: Justin Fuente was asked tonight about reports linking him to Virginia Tech. He wouldn't get detailed, but here was his response.
Louisiana-Monroe: The school has announced its search committee. They will work with College Sports Solutions search firm. The committee's voting members are: former ULM strength coach Al Miller, ULM police department corporal / former player Shaquille O'Neal Belson, ULM athletic foundation executive committee member Lee Denny, former player / local high school coach Van Lambert, former player Pat Mitchell, former baseball assistant Brian Moreau, ULM hall of famer Tag Rome and current defensive lineman Gerrand Johnson. Non-voting members include athletic director Brian Wickstrom, special assistant to the president Josh Brooks, faculity athletic rep Brett Bennett, compliance director Meghan Mazza and associate professor Mary Adams.
Iowa State: Athletic director Jamie Pollard explains how he will sell the program to candidates.
Tulane: Regarding his future, Tulane head coach Curtis Johnson said today, "Whenever they hire a new AD, I will meet with them. I will probably meet with (current Tulane athletic director Rick Dickson) sometime next week, when we usually have meetings. I think we did make some progress, but it's just unfortunate that the type of league we've been in has been very tough. I have 18 starters that are coming back next year and we didn't play as well as we wanted to, but I like some parts of this team." Johnson is 15-33 in four seasons, including 3-8 this year.
Cal: Cal has asked the NCAA for a waiver that would count its win against Grambling State as a sixth win for bowl-eligibility, according to USA Today. FBS schools are allowed one win against FCS teams toward bowl-eligibility, but Grambling is trying to determine if it has awarded enough financial aid for the game to count without a waiver. At least 90 percent of the 63 permitted scholarships must be awarded. If Grambling doesn't meet the standard, Cal would need to beat Arizona State to reach a bowl.
Philadelphia Eagles: On SiriusXM, ESPN's Adam Schefter questioned if Chip Kelly will return to the Eagles next season, saying, "The momentum and signs seem to be piling up against a Chip return to Philadelphia. I think both sides are sick of each other. I think the fans are tired of him, I think he's tired of the situation there — just my read from afar. … I just think Chip Kelly, if given a choice, might be comfortable elsewhere. We'll see how that shakes out. I certainly would include him in my question marks of coaches we'll be tracking in January." The Eagles are 4-6, but only a game out of the division lead.
Tulane: University of San Francisco athletic director Scott Sidwell has removed himself as a Tulane athletic director candidate, according to WDSU. CollegeAD.com also reports UL-Monroe AD Brian Wickstrom is no longer a candidate.
Brown: Per source, tight ends coach Joseph Leslie is retiring, effective Nov. 30. Leslie has been on the staff for 11 years after spending the previous 11 seasons at Dartmouth.
UCF: Nevada head coach Brian Polian is a possible candidate for the UCF head coaching job, according to the Orlando Sentinel. The paper adds that Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp and North Carolina defensive coordinator Gene Chizik have expressed interest in the job. The school is looking for a coach with "a long-term commitment" to UCF, so it doesn't want to be a stepping stone. In addition, athletic director Danny White's official start date has been moved up to Dec. 14 from January.
Iowa State: Georgia Southern head coach Willie Fritz has expressed interest in the Iowa State head coaching job, according to CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd.
Clemson: Defensive coordinator / linebackers coach Brent Venables tells reporters, "I'm not interested in any other jobs. I got a great job here, family loves it here. We're just getting started."
Hawaii: Former head coach June Jones is the leading candidate for the Hawaii head coaching job, according to ESPN's Adam Rittenberg. Tulsa co-defensive coordinator / safeties coach Brian Norwood and Nevada offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Nick Rolovich are also in the mix. Norwood and Rolovich are former UH players, and Rolovich is a former UH assistant.
Syracuse: 10 factors for candidates to keep in mind.
Norfolk State: Defensive coordinator Jerry Holmes will not return next season. Holmes spent one year on staff.
Central Methodist (MO): Defensive coordinator David Calloway has been promoted to head coach. Calloway spent one year at CMU after 10 seasons at Texas A&M-Kingsville, including two as head coach. Other stops in his career include Lane College and Southeastern Oklahoma State.
Washington Redskins: NFL.com's Mike Silver reports that head coach Jay Gruden will return next season. Gruden is 8-17 in less than two seasons, including 4-5 this year.
Virginia Tech: Virginia Tech is expected to be the next school to hire a new head coach. Yahoo Sports' Pat Forde writes, "Word is that athletic director Whit Babcock has his man, and has for a while now, and (Justin) Fuente is that man."
Montana State: The Bozeman Daily Chronicle notes some possible candidates for the Montana State job could include Oklahoma State tight ends coach Jason McEndoo and Southern Utah head coach Ed Lamb. See the list here.
Maine: Head coach Jack Cosgrove is leaving his head coaching role to become a senior associate athletic director. The 60-year-old Cosgrove led the program for 23 years. He's in the last year of his contract, but the school's athletic director said last week they had been working on an extension for him to keep coaching. Defensive coordinator / linebackers coach Joe Harasymiak will serve as interim head coach during the search.
Iowa State: The school will use Parker Executive Search to help find its next football coach.
Buffalo: Deputy athletic director Allen Greene will be promoted to athletic director, according to Sports Illustrated's Thayer Evans. Greene has spent the past two years as deputy AD after one year as senior associate AD for administration. He worked at Notre Dame from 2003-09. Greene replaces Danny White, who left for the UCF athletic director job.

The holiday season is always hard for most of us trying to loose weight. I had plans to be ever so good during the Thanksgiving Break.
But the best laid plans ...
Wednesday before Thanksgiving I was out with my family. I'd already put in my run for the day, I was doing good. We went to Moe's for lunch, I was starving from the run, but I didn't do too bad with my meal.
But after lunch was when everything hit the skids.
We were outside Office Depot and my mother slipped and fell. Did a perfect split on the pavement. At 65 years old, it was the first time she'd ever done a perfect split, but it was perfectly painful for her. First thing she said was that she'd thought she'd broken her hip! This of course freaked my grandmother out who immediately wanted her rushed to the hospital.
My mother, having the medical background she has, wasn't about to go to the hospital. She took time to breath and slowly shift. When she realized she could move her foot, she knew the hip wasn't broken. But it took my father and I to lift her up to standing and hold her upright. With me being the primary support (and grandmother somewhat helping) my father went and got the car and drove up so we could get her into the car.
We got her home and dad and I had to basically pick her up the stairs to get her in the house.
Somewhere in the process of me running and helping my mom, I injured my left leg. The tendons on the front of my left leg got pulled. I tried running yesterday and I was unable to do so. Had to walk instead.
All of this happening right before the 5k Jingle Bell Jog on Dec 1!
To top it off, hormones fluxing over the holiday, colder weather setting in, stress of my mother's injury.... my diet fell off the wagon and got left in the dust.
Hoping this week will get better. Rainy weather is depressing, so I have to be aware of that so I can combat it. Fortunately today I won't get home till late, so I won't have a lot of time to sit around and get the munchies.
I always want time off to rest, but that rest time always seems to have stressful events too... not to mention too much time to create the munchies...
I was so hoping to do so much better this past week...

Exploding App Market Challenges The Software Industry 0 comments
In the past couple of years, the app market has grown substantially. In fact it has grown so quickly that the future of the software industry is in question. App makers are working towards developing applications to solve just about any human problem. Sounds impossible, but the word impossible just doesn't exist in the technological dictionary.
The app industry is making strides mainly because of the huge price differences that exist between mainstream software and mobile applications. Many apps sell for less than a dollar. In fact, some apps are made available to users free of charge. This price, when compared to software, is minute. Software engineers believe that the evolvement of mobile and web apps make it extremely difficult to build and even maintain profits. If this is true, it means many users are moving away from software. Does this mean that the software-era is fast approaching its end? To answer this question, we'll compare companies from the two industries to see how they are faring.
Software Industry
The top players in the software world, according to Forbes Global 2000, include Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL), SAP AG (NYSE: SAP), Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC) and CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA). Using Microsoft as a case study for the software industry, we'll examine the trend over the last few years. First, let's understand some basics. If users are moving away from software to apps, this should be evident in software makers' sales and subsequently in their income.
In fiscal 2012, Microsoft's net income dropped by $6.2 billion compared to fiscal 2011. This decrease isn't essentially as a result of decrease in sales. The company stated that a goodwill impairment charge is responsible of the decrease. It sounds reasonable, considering that revenue increased by $3.78 billion. Even if the excuse of the "goodwill impairment charge" is to be accepted, a trend that is showing up in its reports raises some questions. The trend is that the revenue increase in fiscal 2012 is the lowest number reported over the past four years. In the first half of fiscal 2013, Microsoft's revenue is set at $37.47 billion, $800 million less than the revenue at the same stage of fiscal 2012. While a conclusion cannot be drawn for the entire year from the figures of the first part of fiscal 2013, another trend is noticeable here. Over the past five years, revenue for the first half of the fiscal year has increased compared to the first half of the prior year, barring fiscal 2013. This may go on to affect Microsoft's total fiscal 2013 revenue.
App Industry
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) are by far the two largest companies benefiting from the app revolution. Statistics show that there are currently around a million apps available and over 500,000 of these apps are available for download at Apple's iTunes App Store. It's reasonable to infer that Apple is the biggest player in the app world. As such, we'll use Apple as case study to examine the trend in the app world. Just as we did for the software industry, we'll examine Apple's results over the last few (preferably five) years to point out any trend.
Over the last five years, Apple's revenue and net income have grown significantly. As of the end of 2008, Apple's revenue was about $32.48 billion, while revenue at the end of 2012 was $156 billon. Net income over this period has grown by a multiplying factor of eight. It would be incorrect to infer that the app revolution is mainly responsible for this positive trend, but it has certainly contributed to some extent. Considering the fact that the use of apps has grown incrementally over the past five years it is reasonable to conclude that the app revolution has benefitted companies like Apple. What I'm saying in essence is this: if an iPad will allow me complete more tasks in less time with the help of apps, I'll always go for an iPad over a computer.
Both industries (software and app) are making progress, releasing better product than the year before. However, they aren't making strides at the same rate. The app industry is obviously moving faster and is stronger. More people are integrating apps into their daily lives than ever before. This is not to say that they are completely moving away from software. It simply means that they are beginning to prefer apps over software. And with apps being developed for just about anything, the app world promises greater things in the future. However, software companies that produce useful software products will find their way around the burgeoning app-era.Back To Emerging Growth's Instablog HomePage »

SA expels Rwandan High CommissionerComment on this story
South Africa has expelled Rwandan high commissioner to the Republic, Vincent Karega.
He and his two other envoys have been given 72 hours to leave the country.
The expulsions are in connection with the attempt on the life of exiled Rwandan General Kayumba Nyamwasa in Pretoria on Wednesday.
Rwanda has already expelled six South African envoys from Kigali in retaliation.
Last night Rwandan Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo tweeted: "We have expelled six S. African diplomats in reciprocity & concern at SA harboring of dissidents responsible for terrorist attacks in Rwanda."
The tit-for-tat expulsions are likely to escalate a simmering diplomatic spat between the two countries that is linked to Rwanda's targeting of South African-based Rwandan dissident. Kigali is suspected of masterminding the assassination of Rwanda's exiled former intelligence chief Patrick Karegeya in Johannesburg last January.
More details available in The Saturday Star tomorrow.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — State officials say $110 million in no-bid health contracts that are now the focus of a criminal investigation bypassed two routine oversight boards for deals of that size.
The Austin American-Statesman reported Tuesday that the lucrative contracts with Austin-based 21CT skipped those reviews while avoiding a bidding process. The tech company was hired to help the Texas Health and Human Services Commission root out Medicaid fraud.
A spokeswoman for the state comptroller says it's unclear whether the bypassed reviews violated state law.
Two high-ranking state health officials resigned this month as scrutiny over the contracts intensified. Three others were sent home on paid administrative leave.
Public corruption prosecutors in Austin are preparing to open a case. Health Commissioner Kyle Janek has said he doesn't believe anyone acted illegally.

thanks for that a_ra. If we're successful in penetrating our markets, we shouldn't have any problem upgrading our listings. I don't think TSX and/or NASDAQ before the end of 2013 is an unreasonable possiblity.

wow im glad I don't follow all these idiot celebrities who make millions in the entertainment industry and are crying about big bird haha get a life
Cuts will have to come from somewhere. We are really over indulging ourselves with money we don't have. Even 0.00001% it all adds up.
PBS gets a small fraction of its revenue from the Feds. And if you're worried about Sesame Street -- that program could get a gazillion dollars on another network. Mitt isn't killing Big Bird -- he is getting him an even bigger audience instead of having him subsidize the biased political commentary PBS management loves.
I think big bird should run for president.
Why should I care what the "stars" think? They are completely disconnected from the world the rest of us live in. Most of the time, they just embarrass me with their ridiculousness....

Big 12 finds itself searching for some 'D'

When Dan Hawkins left Boise State for Colorado before the 2006 season, there were questions about whether his offensive system would be successful in the Big 12.
But Hawkins had some questions of his own.
"People were talking about the Big 12 and if you can run a Big 12 offense," he said. "I said, 'Have you looked around the Big 12? Who takes a running back and runs it down your throat?' "
Point made.
In fact, hundreds of points have been made recently in the Big 12, which � depending on one's point of view � has either evolved or eroded into a Midwestern version of the WAC with high-scoring offenses and vulnerable defenses.
The latter might be cause for a double-take.
New Nebraska coach Bo Pelini was a defensive coordinator for the Huskers and at Oklahoma before holding the same title for three seasons at LSU. When he returned to the Big 12, he almost didn't recognize it.
"I was really taken aback when I first got back to Nebraska and seeing the numbers, the offensive numbers that were happening in the Big 12," Pelini said. "I believe six of the top 10 (offenses) in the country came out of the Big 12.
"For a defensive guy, that kind of woke me up a little bit. I think it's become an offensive league to a certain extent. But I think at the same time you've got to play good defense to win football games."
Last season, 10 league teams ranked between 46th and 113th in the nation in total defense. The same number ranked between 38th and 115th in scoring defense.
The Blackshirts? Nebraska allowed an average of 476.8 yards per game to rank 113th. The Wrecking Crew? A&M allowed 415.8 to rank 84th. Texas ranked 54th overall, but was 110th against the pass. Eight Big 12 defenses ranked 92nd or worse in pass defense last season.
The 2006 season was a little better � but not much. Ten of the league's teams ranked between 39th and 110th in total defense and nine ranked between 33rd and 110th in scoring defense.
Compare that to 2004, when eight Big 12 defenses ranked between 13th and 56th, and none ranked lower than 94th.
Still, there is resistance to labeling the Big 12 a defensively challenged league � within the league, anyway.
"Look who's been drafted from the Big 12 on the defensive side," Hawkins said. "There are a lot of guys with a lot of talent.
"Seven of the top 15 quarterbacks in the country play in the Big 12. I think the combination of a lot of great (offensive) players and schemes make it tough on defenders. By and large, when you look at Big 12 teams in bowl games, they do OK."
Well, maybe not as well as one might think.
True, Missouri held Arkansas to seven points in last year's Cotton Bowl and Kansas limited Virginia Tech to 21 in the Orange Bowl. But overall, Big 12 teams have participated in 16 bowls in the past two seasons and in 12 of those games, the opponent exceeded its season scoring average.
And in the past two NFL drafts, the Big 12 has had a total of 10 defensive players selected in the first three rounds. Four were first round picks � Kansas cornerback Aqib Talib, Texas cornerback Aaron Ross and safety Michael Griffin and Nebraska defensive end Adam Carriker.
That's not bad. But compare it to the other major conferences in that span.
The ACC, considered a lesser conference, has had 20 defensive players taken, including seven first-rounders. The SEC has also had 20 defensive players selected, with nine taken in the first round. Only the Big East � which has eight teams � has had fewer players selected, and all three were first-round picks.
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel, who's no-huddle offense is one of the most explosive in the country, believes Big 12 defenses will catch up to the offenses.
"I think more people are going to spreads and no-huddles around the country than they have ever before," Pinkel said. "And don't think the defenses aren't going to figurer some things to do.
"I think it's all based on personnel. We have good coaches and good players."
Catching up obviously will require some changes. Defenses once built to stop powerful running games in the Big 12 featured hulking linemen and big linebackers, especially in the middle. But lighter and quicker players will take over those positions because of the proliferation of the spread offenses.
Bob Stoops said. "I think that's a major factor, speed and athleticism on the field. Speed-wise, you're constantly trying to mix things up, and I think there's always some tweaking there."
Pelini demanded that Huskers players shed weight so they'd fit better into his scheme. Defensive end Barry Turner lost about 10 pounds, while linebacker Phillip Dillard lost more than 20.
Big 12 teams have also made moves to improve by hiring better defensive coaches.
Nebraska hired Pelini as coach. Two years ago, Iowa State hired Gene Chizik, who was the defensive coordinator on Texas' 2005 national championship team. Texas Tech promoted Ruffin McNeill to defensive coordinator after the Red Raiders allowed 49 points to Oklahoma State last season. First-year Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman hired veteran Joe Kines to rebuild the Wrecking Crew. And Texas coach Mack Brown has hired Will Muschamp, arguably the country's premier defensive coordinator.
"He brings the ability to do a better job of disguising (coverages)," Brown said. "With the offenses in our league and the spread offenses, we felt like we needed to get more pressure on the passer, and we have got to do a better job of stopping the passing game and try to force more turnovers. We thought he was the guy to help us get that done."
Maybe he will.
But until Texas, Texas A&M, Nebraska and other league teams again play defense to the level they once did, the Big 12 will continue to be seen as a conference with strong offenses and questionable defenses.
Just like the WAC.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Vegan Healing Cafe
by veganmiss
Review: In Shibuya, there is the really awesome Vegan Healing Cafe. This is where I found my Vegan Restaurant Pocketguide book. It was my first experience with texturized soy meat. I had no idea what it was, but I liked it. I even brought some home with me because I didn't even know you could get it in America! Mmm. The owner was so nice too. She could tell just how I excited I was about her restaurant. She had vegan and animal right literature out by the cash register too (mostly PETA leaflets in English and Japanese). For a complete review, please see my blog here: http://veganmiss.blogspot.com/2010/11/vegan-tokyo.html

I first heard about Jane Jacobs' work from Ed Glaeser when he was starting to write his well known JPE paper (1992) testing whether more diverse or more specialized cities grow faster. Glaeser's Dream Team of co-authors found that "Jacobs beat Marshall-Arrow-Romer". More diverse cities grew faster.
Why could diversity foster economic growth? In a dense, diverse city such as New York City, firms could learn from each other and synergies could be realized. In today's sprawling office parks, is there less cross-firm learning? We see Microsoft building and expanding its enormous corporate campus near Seattle. Clearly, learning is going on within this firm but not across nearby firms.
Diverse cities are also more likely to be diversified. Such cities (unlike a Houston) do not put all of their "eggs in one basket". This should mean less volatile local unemployment rates.
Such diverse cities may also enjoy a Richard Florida effect. This author has celebrated the importance of the creative class in making a city thrive and be interesting. It is intuitive that diverse cities (think of San Francisco and NYC) are more likely to score higher on the Richard Florida index.
What I find interesting about Jacobs' work is celebrating the benefits of diversity. Perhaps unfortunately, in my own work --- I have investigated the "costs of diversity" namely that people are less likely to be good civic citizens when other people in their community (broadly defined) do not look like them on income and racial attributes.

Consumers Benefit Through Simplified, More Competitive Pricing MSRPs Lowered on All Chevrolet Cars, Trucks and SUVs DETROIT, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- GM today announced that it has significantly lowered Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRPs) on vehicles accounting for about 80 percent of its sales volume. This move covers every Chevrolet, Buick and GMC model, as well as most Pontiac cars and trucks. The new MSRPs are effective Jan. 11. This is the next step in GM's initiative to simplify pricing and offer consumers the best value in the industry. Combining this price repositioning with adjustments made to MSRPs at the beginning of the 2006 model year, GM has lowered MSRPs on vehicles representing about 90 percent of its volume. "This is a big step for us and arguably the biggest price repositioning in our history," said Mark LaNeve, GM vice president, North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "This move is in line with our customers' desire for simple, compelling prices." Under the new pricing structure, MSRPs on many GM vehicles have been lowered, some by as much as $2,500. LaNeve explained that GM's aggressive pricing action taken at the beginning of the 2006 model year was effective in the improving sales performance of the new launch products. This action allowed for clearer comparisons to competitive vehicles and pricing simplicity. It also enabled the nearly two-thirds of new vehicle buyers using the Internet to research their vehicle purchase and get strong MSRP comparisons. Evidence of the consumer appeal of this approach became apparent when new products like the Chevrolet Impala and HHR, Pontiac Solstice and Cadillac DTS -- introduced with very compelling prices -- experienced strong sales following their launch. "Starting right now, we are going to communicate a clear, simple message," LaNeve added. "In more segments, with more brands, GM has a great product at a great price, and in many cases, we have the best product at the best price. Customers can compare for themselves not only on our own websites, but on Head2Head at Edmunds.com." Pricing for much of the Cadillac lineup already is well-positioned. With today's announcement, CTS and SRX MSRPs also were repositioned. 2007 Escalade pricing will be announced next week. Among Saturn models, only Relay was repositioned. Saab and HUMMER also are not included in today's announcement. Vehicles for these brands are competitively priced. "As we head into 2006, we're launching 19 new products that represent over 1.5 million vehicle sales," LaNeve said. "Today's action allows us to talk more about the features and benefits of all of our vehicles and to spend less time talking about 'the deal.'" General Motors Corp. (NYSE: GM), the world's largest automaker, has been the global industry sales leader since 1931. Founded in 1908, GM today employs about 325,000 people around the world. It has manufacturing operations in 32 countries and its vehicles are sold in 200 countries. GM's global headquarters are at the GM Renaissance Center in Detroit.
