Capturing what matters and measuring what counts: This is a global leadership imperative. And it is the best--if not the only--way to showcase that managing digital globalization and delivering international experiences effectively pay off. It is all about effectiveness and starts with the early steps in the global content value chain. A number of criteria and indicators should be on the radar screen of anyone willing to define, analyze, and leverage effectiveness holistically. Productivity may not always be at the top of the list in terms of localization benefits although it definitely drives time and cost savings, while enabling to better allocate resources and optimize timeframes. It may come up as a secondary factor or be diluted in other prominent indicators such as content accuracy or consistency.

SOHH.com implemented a suite of FeedBurner tools that provide the site a complete glimpse into the uses (and users) of its content and help the site monetize its offerings in the process.
FeedBurner's StandardStats is an analytics tool that enables Samuel and his partner, Felicia Palmer, to learn exactly how SOHH.com is being used and how many subscribers view that content. SOHH.com can track its most popular feed items (such as the blog post with the most clicks) as well as live hits (it can identify the number of hits recorded in the last minute from a particular geographic region). StandardStats also offers a breakdown of the number of feed readers/aggregators, browsers, email services, and bots that access SOHH.com's content. Data can be collected by day, week, month, or all-time.
SOHH.com can immediately use that data to build its web presence. Samuel says that if he notices a particular hip hop site is receiving a lot of traffic from SOHH.com regarding a specific topic, he can contact the webmaster of that site and offer a custom feed on that topic. "We have about four hundred RSS feeds that are all done dynamically based on what you want to see," says Samuel. Ten of those feeds are listed on the SOHH.com home page. "Those change every day," adds Samuel. "They'll change as we get stories that pertain to each particular artist."
"From a publisher's standpoint, you have to be able to say 'this particular story really didn't do that well last week. I don't think we should follow up on it. This other story did exceptionally well. We should follow up on it.'" says Samuel. "If you post a story at nine o'clock, you'll notice that eight thousand people read it in the first few minutes as opposed to at noon, when you get five hundred people. I wouldn't say we mastered the science, but we know we get more traffic at nine o'clock and when people come to our site, they want to see the latest news." Samuel says SOHH.com publishes three times a day; breaking news is added to the site immediately, while the RSS feeds are updated automatically.
FeedBurner's FeedFlare helps SOHH.com make its feeds more robust and interactive by enabling subscribers to tag and email content as well as share it with their contacts—with just one click. SOHH.com also uses FeedFlare to offer content within other social networks such as Digg and del.icio.us. FeedFlare also allows subscribers to see how many comments a particular post has received and the number of blogs that link to a specific feed.
That content is also becoming more profitable for SOHH.com since the site signed on with FeedBurner's Ad Network. According to Parrillo, FeedBurner and its publishing clients share the revenue generated by the ads: publishers claim 65%, while FeedBurner takes 35%. Samuel says the ad revenue generated through FeedBurner's ad network represents five to eight percent of SOHH.com's monthly income, exceeding his expectations.
That's not the only benefit of this type of ad program, adds Samuel. "There are more visual impressions as opposed to click-through impressions," he says. "The problem with click-through campaigns is someone can see the ad on your site and then shut down their computer. A month later, [they may recall that ad] and check the advertiser's site on their own, so you don't get the click-through." While FeedBurner works to supply advertising to clients that is relevant to their audience, Samuel notes that FeedBurner allows publishers to decline particular ads from their feeds. In addition to participating in FeedBurner's ad network, SOHH.com also has its own in-house ad sales force that concentrates on advertising for the main site.
But none of this matters if RSS feeds don't operate correctly. SOHH.com also uses FeedBurner's SmartFeed tool that ensures the publisher's feed is compatible with any web-based news reader (such as MyYahoo! and NewsGator) a subscriber could use.
SOHH.com has substantially grown the subscriber base of its RSS news feeds in less than one year. In March 2006, the news feed had 100 subscribers; as of February 2007, there were about 5,000. Samuel attributes some of that growth to overall internet users' increased knowledge of and interest in the RSS technology. SOHH.com utilizes a BrowserFriendly feature from FeedBurner that enables a one-click subscription option for site visitors.
Being able to track content views has proven invaluable for SOHH.com. "The concept of a page view is going to be less and less significant when you're faced with the idea of audience engagement," says Parrillo. "You're going to want to know each piece of content and who interacted with that content. Those are more like content views than page views."
Samuel declined to discuss specifics, but says that SOHH.com is currently in discussions with FeedBurner to add more of the company's technological offerings to the hip hop site.

Product Description
This Pentek 151118 OR-241 silicone O-ring is used to seal filter housings. It is made of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved silicone rubber for resistance to chemicals and extreme temperatures. This O-ring is for use with Pentek 150015 and 150111 High Temperature filter housings, which are used in a wide variety of industrial applications, including those involving organic solvents, sea water, alcohol, petroleum and vegetable oils.
Water filters remove undesirable particles, chemicals, and microorganisms from water by means of a semipermeable barrier, adsorption, or biological processes. They are made of densely packed synthetic or natural fibers that trap suspended particles, materials that block microbes or adsorb unwanted chemicals, or substances that cause a chemical change, such as acid neutralization. For most residential, commercial, and industrial applications, water filters are manufactured in the form of replaceable cartridges that fit inside permanent housings. Filtration systems typically consist of a series of two or more types of filters, each designed to remove different contaminants. The performance of filters is measured by the minimum particle size that is blocked, the percentage of particles or microorganisms that are removed, the downstream concentration of unwanted chemicals, the maximum flow rate, and the amount of water that can be filtered before the filter must be replaced. Water filters are used in a wide range of applications, including drinking water purification, swimming pools, industrial processes, and irrigation, among others.
Pentair manufactures industrial, commercial, and residential water filtration components and systems. The company, founded in 1966 and headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards 9001 and 14001 for quality assurance.

Drive from Vail to Snowmass
Report Abuse
We did that drive two years ago. Its hwy driving all the way, and is easy provided it is not dumping snow. Nothing hard and there was a really pretty canyon you go through We stopped in Glenwood Springs and hiked up to Doc Holiday's grave - really pretty hike. Snowmass is great and we loved Aspen as well.
If you are flying in and out of Denver, watch the weather. If it is snowing hard they usually close Vail Pass. We stayed at Copper Mtn last year (loved it!)which is on the Denver side of the pass, and they closed Vail Pass 3 times in a week. A lot of people got stuck.
Report Abuse
The Eagle County airport is 30 miles west of Vail and quite a bit lower in elevation--is that what you are really wondering about? The drive between Eagle airport and Snowmass?
When I've done that stretch it's been very easy highway driving, and I don't hear about the problems on that stretch the way I hear about traffic or weather issues east of Vail (ie between Vail and Denver). Between Eagle airport and Aspen/Snowmass, you never go over any high passes like you would between Vail and Denver.
Report Abuse
It's an easy drive--hour and a half?

Thanks,this is great info. We are flying into Vail from Atlanta. We have stayed in Vail several times & love it but thought we would go back to Snowmass since we haven't been there in several years. We saw good, nonstop to Vail/Eagle so grabbed it! Now we'll decide what to do from there.
It's not that far to Snowmass but I was just wondering about the highways & access.
Report Abuse
The Eagle/Vail airport is actual between Eagle and Gypsum but we are trying to make you think it is close to Vail. From the airport you can see the east west I-70 on the other side of the valley. I think the signage from the airport will direct you back to Eagle for access to I-70. After existing the airport drive head west towards Gypsum, it will save back tracking about 10 miles or more. You can access I-70 west at Gypsum. You will have about 30 miles on I-70 to Glenwood Springs where you exit for Aspen. The road south is a mix of two and four lanes for about 35 miles to the Snowmass turn off. Even if snowing the road is well maintained since it is the only road in and out of the Aspen ski complex.

DIÓGENES de Sinope
Jacques Derrida (1930–2004) was born in French Algeria & became one of the most well known 20th century philosophers. His approach was distinct from the various philosophical movements popular among other French intellectuals of the time. Derrida developed a novel strategy called "deconstruction" in the mid 1960s. Through the analysis of texts, deconstruction seeks to expose, and then to subvert, the various binary oppositions that undergird a dominant way of thinking.
Pierre Bourdieu (1930 - 2002) was a French sociologist, anthropologist, and philosopher. He pioneered investigative frameworks and terminologies such as cultural, social, and symbolic capital, and the concepts of habitus, field, and symbolic violence to reveal the dynamics of power relations in social life.

[click on this image to find a short video and analysis of Bourdieu's concept of habitus]
Noam Chomsky (1928- ) Before he was widely cited by sociologists, Chomsky engineered a revolution in linguistics. In linguistics he is widely known for his theory about a "universal grammar." He has also written on war, politics, & mass media, & is the author of over 100 books. According to the Arts and Humanities Citation Index in 1992, Chomsky was cited as a source more often than any other living scholar from 1980 to 1992, and was the eighth most cited source overall (Wikipedia).
Jürgen Habermas (1929-) is a German sociologist working at the intersection of Critical Theory & Pragmatism. He is perhaps best known for his theory on the concepts of Communicative rationality & the Public sphere. His work has been used to analyze advanced capitalist societies & democracy. Habermas' theory is devoted to revealing the possibility of reason, emancipation, & rational-critical communication & in the human capacity to deliberate & pursue rational interests (Wikipedia).
Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937) was an Italian political theorist and a founding member of the Communist Party of Italy. Gramsci is known as a theorist who worked from a Marxist foundation to produce highly original analyses of culture and political leadership.
Marcel Mauss (1872-1950) was a French sociologist, following in the footsteps of his uncle, Émile Durkheim. He's known for his analysis of unusual topics, such as magic, sacrifice & gift exchange in different cultures around the world. In his classic work The Gift, Mauss argued that gifts R never "free". Rather, human history is full of examples that gifts lead 2 reciprocal exchange. He famously asked: "What power resides in the object given that causes its recipient 2 pay it back?" (Wikiped...
Anthony Giddens (1938- ) is a well known social theorist who developed the theory of Structuration. He observed what he called a Duality of structure, which he describes as "the essential recursiveness of social life, as constituted in social practices: structure is both medium & outcome of reproduction of practices. Structure enters simultaneously into the constitution of the agent & social practices, & 'exists' in the generating moments of this constitution."
Auguste Comte (1798 - 1857) Comte is often noted as the founder of sociology, which is certainly an accomplishment worthy of Facebook photo. However, reminding people that he was the one who started it all seems to be the only cause for ever citing Comte in a published article.
"I'm no prophet. My job is making windows where there were once walls." ~ Michel Foucault, (1926 - 1984) [click on this image to find a bundle videos that illustrate Foucault's ideas]
Max Weber (1864 – 1920) Weber's contributions to sociology are too many to count, but chief among them is his articulation of the way cultural change produced the conditions necessary for the rise of capitalism.

I've just finished it in almost one sitting, and like so often, when the book you've just finished didn't turned out to be total crap, you start missing its characters.
I miss Julie Smith from the "Jeopardy !" show, I wanna stick to "Sick Puppy" and his punky friends visiting a Keith Jarrett (!) concert. I feel sorry for old pal Chuck Nunn, jr., who, after a car accident, had his eyes constantly popping out their holes (!!). I deeply felt for the woman who "appeared in the David Letterman show", don't be nervous anymore ! And then finally there's David Boyd, first boy and close friend of the president of the United States, Lynton B.Johnson !
David Foster Wallace presents each of the five stories in a different tone, a different style: There's the more traditional narrative form in the first story, pure satire (with shades of Brett Easton Ellis's "American Psycho") in the second, and a haunting yet nightmarish and illogical atmosphere in the third one. The fourth story comes with a dry, almost documentary-like kind of prose, while the fifth and last story (the LBJ story) once again returns to more traditional grounds.
But don't worry: David Foster Wallace successfully manages to avoid pretentiousness or self-indulgence and never lets "Girl with curious hair" end up in a writing skill showcase !
This book is funny, it's brilliant, it should be regarded as a modern classic, but word comes around his other books are even better <...> oboy !
I agree with the earlier reviewers, Pynchon infiltrates this text, making these stories about rock stars, tv celebrities, and politicians seem less, well, unique. And while Pynchon steps back on the narrative and sort of accepts the absurdity of his premises (like in Vineland), Wallace also wants this sort of authenticity, this emotional punch, which at times seems contrived.
So, he is essentially writing for two (or three, including himself) audiences, the lit critics and the fans, and unfortunately he cannot hit both, so he settles on m.o.r. fare that's vaguely insulting to his characters. I mean, his characters, like Boyd in "Lyndon" come off as caricatures, silly stand-ins for the BIG POINT he wants to get across to the grad school audience.
I think D F W was talented and had a great deal to say, but I also think that he is best simply telling a story, instead of having to add literary value, because let's face it, there's only so much to the joke of a bunch of conservative "punkrockers" in "Girl with the Curious Hair."
My recommendation, pick this up, but do not feel beholden to finishing any one story.
There are no bad stories here and three of them are brilliant; the title story, "Little Expressionless Animals" and "My Appearance" are all well worth a read. The standout however was "Lyndon" about the hapless american president. This story stayed with me long after I read it. It was emotionally affecting and believable as a piec of historical fiction. One of the best short stories I have ever read.

know how it felt to be a hobo, a radical, a prostitute, a thief, a reformer,
a social worker and a revolutionist. Now, I knew."
With an ending like the above, you've gotta bet that the prior 200 pages are
a fun read.
This book is more-or-less the contemporary of that classic 1930's anti-drug
movie "Refer Madness". We encounter dope fiends, perverts, dreamers,
anarchists, abortionists and many others.
I do, so much, love reading about degenerate behavior!
Somewhere in the folds is a statement that Capitalism is evil. "Sure
society has a right to defind itself. Society has the right to send me to
jail if they get the goods on me. But I've got to eat and sleep and my
child has to have his. I don't justify myself. I know I'm wrong. I know my
example is bad. But I'm so short on funds, I have to".
So, I'm reading along. 100 pages. 200 pages. Thinking to myself, hmmm
.... this woman sure had a lot of adventures in her life.
Then ... incredible, annoying, foulness! An afterward is appended to the
text by the publisher.
"In this, the 4th time that Boxcar Bertha has been reissued, we feel obliged
for the first time to make it plain that this is in fact a work of fiction.
This takes nothing away from the book as far as we are concerned."
BALONEY! What the...?!?! I could understand if they'd let the title
stand (after all, we know that the "Autobiography of Miss Jane Pitman" is a
novel) but why did they have to leave the binding classification as
I feel so violated. I wouldn't have invested the time if I'd know from the
start that it was fiction. This story is only good if it's true ...
there're a dozen places where I'd have thrown the book down because of
unbelievable-ness if I'd known it were fiction.
I keep trying to push through Boxcar Bertha because I feel like it will lend some sort of relevant insight into marginal life in the Depression, but I don't think I can do it.
Not to mention the dubious nature of the male author attempting to portray the voice of a radical woman. What's next, privileged whites writing in the voices of radical blacks? Will that pass as meaningful, authentic work with the publishers of the radical left as well? I hope not.

The last word this week goes to zim, who offered a couple of images looking at the life of a Team Rocket member when the cameras are off.
Once again the Comedy Goldmine draws to a close. Thanks as always to the talented artists who gave up their time and effort to create some ridiculously good drawings, and a special thanks to Shmorky for carrying on his trend of making famous cartoon characters just a little bit more creepy. Next week's Goldmine will feature a beautiful little mouse that's just so cute you want to pick him up and squeeze him, but doing so would kill the little animal so you just have to admire his cuteness from afar. Join me then!
I was betrayed by the bernio bros, the cougars, and this guy from back page I hired to keep me from jumping out a window at the DNC.
A dubious allegorical romp through a Fahey-filled world of Christly hackers and eyeliner tattoo!
Hillary Clinton has a new book! Here are some photo-shops of her, for you to enjoy.
Thirty games and a novel piece of hardware for sixty dollars? This is an insult to my honor.
The Comedy Goldmine examines the funniest and most creative threads from the Something Awful Forums. Although the Comedy Goldmine has changed authors many times over the years, its focus on the Something Awful Forums is still the same. Includes hilarious Photoshops, amusing work stories, parodies, and other types of oddball humor.

About نيييييييييك
نيييييييييك The buzz around the film started building during the Cannes Film Festival in May 2006, when Baron Cohen posed in character on the beach in a neon green mankini, alongside two models. Romance Videos While some claim that the creature was also nothing more than an escaped baboon, others insist that it was also a genuine ape man, not unlike its cousin that haunted Fouke, Arkansas in the 1970s. Romance Videos The first accounts of these animals date back to as recently as November 5, 2002, when an Aleta boy apparently mistook one of the animals for a floating log, only to become consumed with terror when the beast moved. This, of course, would be just the beginning of the controversy surrounding this animal. Romance Videos This plan would also be the foundation and structure for which this country would also be built upon.

Virgin Islands. نيييييييييك Pegasus` story became a favourite theme in Greek art and literature, and in late antiquity Pegasus` soaring flight was interpreted as an allegory of the soul`s immortality; in modern times it has been regarded as a symbol of poetic inspiration.

We love the theater; intimate and comfortable. We had excellent seats, 4th row center, although there are no seats with less than a very good view. The theater's location, just a few blocks from either Logan Circle/14th Street or DuPont Circle, makes getting a pre or post theater meal and/or drink an easy addition to the experience.

In the battle of the hot hatches, surely nothing is a match for the all-conquering VW Golf R... or is it?
Seat Leon SC Cupra 280 ★★★★★
Toyota Supra, Mini Coo-per, Seat Cupra... don't these car companies talk to each other before baptising their offspring?
But, oh my goodness, what a stunning-looking car.
Like a catwalk feline that has acquired a late-night sweet tooth and thrown on a bit of chiffon to cover her bits while she nips to the 24-hour garage for a tub of Ben & Jerry's.
The Seat Leon SC Cupra 280 gets out of the blocks like a cheetah chasing a truck-load of Thomson's gazelles, and from there on in she only gets quicker
Cars don't come more refined. On the outside, that is. Inside, however...
Ah, this is why she's the poor relation of the Golf GTi, or my beloved Golf R. Everything is sort of VW-like (she's part of the VW Group), but not quite. It's all a bit thinner and more pointy.
There's a lack of that assured weightiness about the whole interior
atmosphere, and a lot of it failed the wobble test.
All the controls that have dials that need to be turned can be bent and yanked one way and another, like a cheap toy.
This is not allowed to happen in Golfs, of course, but then again the Cupra's got to cut costs somewhere, hasn't she?
Oh my word – actually,
no. When I went to check exactly how much of a bargain the Cupra is
compared to a new GTi or R, I was shocked to the core.
They are basically the same price, albeit the model I was sent had £2,700-worth of extras, bringing all three models to within a hair's breadth of £30,000.
Pretty or not, you have to say straight off the bat, the Cupra is nowhere near in the same league as her VW housemates. At least, that's what I thought.
I didn't care that her seats were hard, with her aft section only accommodating two passengers (really) instead of three
But before we go on, a condition report of another kind.
The week this car arrived (the same week as Seat's motherland, Spain, was knocked out of the World Cup), I was totally crook with a chest infection, the first rumblings of which I had detected a week earlier. So what preventative measures did I take?
Er, precisely none. I stupidly let it fester,
carried on going to work and all the other usual nonsense.
But a chest
infection means phlegm, which means coughing and spluttering.
The coughing soon turned into rasping, the rasping into retching.
She's not a lesser alternative to a Golf, she's a genuine equal
My chest felt increasingly like someone had poured a bag of broken glass down my throat. It all culminated in my having to email in sick (couldn't call – couldn't speak!).
Not good, not good at all. And also hugely frustrating, as I could still do all the basics, except for talking and stopping coughing for more than ten seconds.
Ergo, I could actually get on and do what I liked, as
long as I wasn't seen doing it.
You can't reasonably take time off from one of the best jobs in the world claiming to be sick and then be seen in the high street buying a pile of car mags in the newsagent's because you're a bit bored.
I therefore elected to go for a disguise, like Bono probably does when
he needs to check the Lotto.
Mine consisted of a scarf to insulate my
throat, a St Andrews Links floppy rain hat, cheap sunglasses, a purple
hoodie and a pair of flip-flops – not mine, don't actually know how they
ended up at ours.
At best, I didn't look a bit like me; at worst, I hopefully looked scary enough for people not to want to make eye contact. And what do you know?
It worked. Whoopee, I was free to continue being ill, but mobile
and on the move.
As long as I didn't talk to anyone, I would still be getting better, and seeing as for the most part I would be sitting in a car, I'd be isolated from any unnecessary, ill-advised attempts at conversation.
The ride is mostly firm but can be softened if desired
Relaxed, breathing lightly and hydrating my larynx with a non-stop stream of tepid water and throat lozenges, I was good to go, but to where?
How about all the car shops I never have time to frequent
As long as I was back home in time to not be able to talk to
the kids and my wife once they were home from the school run, I wouldn't
be doing anyone any harm and no one need ever know.
This meant I drove the Cupra a lot, hundreds of miles. Not that I'd have
needed to.
She cannot wait to show you what she's capable of.
She gets
out of the blocks like a cheetah chasing a truck-load of Thomson's
gazelles, and from there on in she only gets quicker.
She's automatic or
manual paddle-shift and dazzling in both.
She even excites herself
sometimes, whinnying and rearing up as her front-wheel drive is pushed
to its limit via the 280 horses she corrals underneath her bonnet.
Whip-crack away, my friends.
It was shortly after my first experience of her hidden talent for speed
that I realised why she costs what she does.
She's not a lesser alternative to a Golf, she's a genuine equal, offering an entirely different package.

She is a total crackpot.
After less than a mile, I didn't care if all her controls fell off and rolled around the footwell, let alone wobbled.
I didn't care that her seats were hard, with her aft section only accommodating two passengers (really) instead of three.
Even though there is a third seatbelt in the back, I can only presume this is for any Action Men or Barbies.
I didn't care about her radio, the fact her sat-nav couldn't find my ENT specialist, or that her weird central storage compartment croaks louder than an American bullfrog every time you open and close it.
The ride is mostly firm but can be softened if desired, as can the rest of the set-up, although I had her in 'mostly mental' for 99 per cent of our time together.
Her gears are Ferrari-short, which means lots of action and excitement, but little time for respite, unless you pop her into auto.
In the end, this is what I did, as the novelty of a thousand gear changes a minute began to wear off. But – surprise again – this only made me like her more.
So, what are you gonna do, punk? Will it be the Golf R (or GTi, if you prefer) or the Seat Leon SC Cupra 280 2.0 TSi 280 PS DSG (easy for you to say)?
Well, here's what I think. It's a dead heat. But I hate car reviews that cop out in the end and refuse to declare a winner.
So I am going to say – and I can't quite believe this – the Seat Cupra is probably the better car in what it's achieved considering where it's come from.
However, if I had to buy one over the other, I would still choose a Golf R.
But that's probably down to several childhood issues I've never talked about, and the fact Golfs retain their value like Berlusconi retains his lawyers.
So there you go, the fight is over. Run along now, nothing more to see here.
Until next week, it's hats off to the Cupra, scooper-up of today's employee-of-the-month award.
Well done, Seat. Now, about that football team of yours that's almost as rubbish as ours...

'Oh my goodness, what a stunning looking car, like a catwalk feline. Cars don't come more refined'
By NICK BAGOT
Mitsubishi has unveiled a fairly serious-looking new model in its popular Shogun range. Already a rugged machine, the gloss black alloy wheels on the SWB Barbarian seem to accentuate the Shogun's undeniably menacing looks. Power comes from a 197hp 3.2-litre diesel engine (five-speed automatic or manual), the interior is all leather and it is, of course, four-wheel drive. Prices start at £31,999.
First Mitsubishi, now Honda... it's obviously been a gloomy week in the world of car manufacturing. Cue the new Black Edition Civic, with gloss exterior and new front and side skirts. A chrome badge marks it out as the special edition model, and a (purely aesthetic ) roof spoiler gives the new model a sportier edge. Otherwise it's Civic business as usual, with either a 1.6 i-DTEC diesel or 1.8 i-VTEC petrol engine. From £21,455.

"These guys were so smart. You had Dusty's genius of putting all these guys together, cause if you look at the mass of talent that Dusty brought in; that we were running two or three towns a night, every night, it was just crazy. We had like an A Team and a B Team and a C Team, but when you look at the cards, neither card was better than the other; people were getting amazing wrestling action in this time. And with Tully and I, it was just people hated us and it was cool to be driving down the road from Atlanta to Charlotte and people would pass us and we'd pass them and we would get recognized in our car, going 70 miles an hour down the road and Tully was like that had never happened to him before. He said 'This is magic baby, this is magic. We're gonna make some money so get ready for the ride.' I still remember that to this day. People were pointing at us and shaking their fists at us because they hate us and we're just driving down the road. It was crazy, it was really fun and I was very lucky to be where I was at."
Her reaction to the CM Punk Fan Incident: "Number one: you never go out into the crowd, never. I mean, you're fair game. That's the way I look at it; Punk went up into the audience and he's their number one heel. That's pretty much throwing the peasants to the lions; you know what I'm saying? I can't say that the fan was wrong, because we've got them all hyped up and yea, yea, yea. He wasn't doing anything except for hitting him; it wasn't like he was getting punched or anything, he just got a flat hand to the head. Punk had no reason to hit the guy, I mean seriously. Punk went up into the audience. Number one, where was the security; that was my main beef with it, because if security was with him, if he had two or three guys around him and followed him up there to back people off so they couldn't touch him, then it wouldn't have happened. So my deal is, whosever big idea it was to have Punk go up into the audience; that was stupid. If it was Punk's idea, he got what he deserves because you never go out in the audience.
"Number two, where was security? If those two questions got answered then I think we've figured out what it was but going to and from the ring, I was never went out and looked for a fight. You know? I was going out to do my job. Punk went out and up into the audience and you never ever, ever; that was one thing we were always taught was never go out there because you're asking to get hurt but if someone came over the guard rail or came into the ring, then that's our territory; you asked for what you got. It's kind of like the same thing, if a fan comes over the guard rail, you're ours; same thing if we go over the guard rail, we're asking for whatever we get.

Tom Hanks Diagnosed With Type 2 Diabetes
Tom Hanks, who has been battling high blood sugar numbers for years, recently revealed that he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The "Captain Phillips" actor talked about the diagnosis as he appeared on "Late Show with David Letterman" on Monday, October 7.
"I went to the doctor and he said, 'You know those high-blood-sugar numbers you've been dealing with since you were 36? Well, you've graduated. You've got Type 2 diabetes, young man,' " the Oscar-winning actor said on the show. He added, "It's controllable. ... Something's going to kill us all, Dave."
Hanks' doctor told him that he could defeat the disease if he returned to his weigh in high school. Hanks, however, felt that it would be impossible. "I weighed 96 pounds in high school. I was a very skinny boy. And you know, most of that was that big white Afro that I wore back in the '70s," the 57-year-old actor said.
Following the revelation, Hanks took to Twitter to assure fans that the disease is manageable. "Yep, I have #2 diabetes. Type 1 is VERY SERIOUS! Type 2 I can manage with good habits. I shall! Hanx," he wrote the next day.
Hanks' upcoming flick "Captain Phillips" will hit U.S. theaters on October 11. He plays Captain Richard Phillips whose vessel is hijacked by Somalian pirates.

Lady Urchins prepare to 'Face the Giants'
One team has East Union's number, at least when it comes to the playoffs in slow pitch.
After winning its first round series at South Delta on Tuesday, the Lady Urchins will host Hamilton on Saturday, making it three years in a row they have matched up with the Lady Lions.
"Hamilton goes way back," EU coach Josh Blythe said. "I like to tell stories to my kids to encourage them, and this reminds me of the movie 'Facing the Giants.' You've got those kids who you've never beaten, and any kind of motivation you can give those kids, I try to do that, giving them stories they can relate to, like David and Goliath."
Blythe's strategy for the opening round of the playoffs was a team trip to see the movie "Courageous." From that, he saw his lone senior in Rachel Elder step up in a leadership role throughout Tuesday's games.
"I like doing stuff like that, making them a family, and I think it woke them up," Blythe said. "Rachel was really great leading the girls. No matter what was going on, she was encouraging those kids, and that's something I haven't seen a lot of from her, and I've talked with her about that."
Elder had four hits on the day, three doubles and a triple, as the Lady Urchins defeated South Delta, 14-4 and 23-8. Blythe was impressed with his team's hitting, but the defensive effort left a lot to be desired.
"For one, it was a hostile environment. That place was jumping, very good sportsmanship, but it's an environment that my kids have never experienced," Blythe said. "There were two or three extremely good athletes for them, and we did not play our best, at all. Probably had a lot to do with the four hour ride down there, but despite all of that and some questionable calls, they never got down."
Ashley Leach led East Union with three hits, and Mallory Roberts, Elder and Callie Frazier each had two hits in the game one win.
Another quartet of Lady Urchins had multiple hits in the second game, Brittany Prewett, Leach, Elder and Alie Haynie, and Blythe said the focus will turn to defense in practice as East Union now prepares for Hamilton.
"Our defense has been shaky, and it's a bad time to get like that," he said. "We've been hitting for a while now, and that's what's kept us in ball games, but if we can get our defense to where it was at a few weeks ago, that's going to be my focus."
As far as his motivational strategy, Blythe has yet to come up with his next tactic to inspire his team, but one thing is for certain, the focus is on advancing to the North Half Championship, not on playing Hamilton.
"Our goal is to win north half and go to state, and it's my job to get them to buy into the fact that we don't need to focus on just Hamilton; just play our ball and hit the ball well, play defense and don't give them anything," he said. "We can't just focus on Hamilton, let's focus on what we want overall and not on who we're playing. If we can do that, I think we'll be alright."
"We're not playing Hamilton, we're playing for a chance to play for a North Half Championship."
