Hollywood's most overpaid actors decided by Forbes list
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- November 07, 2011
EDDIE Murphy and Drew Barrymore have been named the most overpaid actor and actress working in Hollywood this year.
Barrymore topped the Forbes list after returning just 40 cents for every $1 (24p for 62p) of investment in her talents, The Daily Telegraph reported.
She has recently starred in movies such as Everybody's Fine and 2007's Lucky You. Although the Barrymore-produced He's Just Not Into You earned a healthy $180 million globally, Forbes did not count this as she "wasn't really the star of the film".
Meanwhile, Murphy came second on the list, returning $2.70 for every $1, with Will Ferrell, Reese Witherspoon and Denzel Washington completing the top 5.
Forbes created the list by looking at the 40 highest-earning actors in Hollywood. To qualify, they each had to have starred in at least three films over the past five years that opened in more than 500 cinemas, with movies released after May 1, 2011 not counted.
The Forbes Most Overpaid Hollywood Stars top 10 is:
1. Drew Barrymore ($0.40 return)
2. Eddie Murphy ($2.70)
3. Will Ferrell ($3.50)
4. Reese Witherspoon ($3.55)
5. Denzel Washington ($4.25)
6. Nicolas Cage ($4.40)
7. Adam Sandler ($5.20)
8. Vince Vaughn ($5.20)
9. Tom Cruise ($6.35)
10. Nicole Kidman ($6.70)

We all know they are paid too much. But aside from Drew Barrymore (who runs at a loss for investors), the rest seem to be making a profit for the studios?? How then can they be regarded as overpaid within the context of the industry??
Financial Advisor of Lehmann Brothers Posted at 1:31 PM November 08, 2011
170% to 570% returns on projects is not bad at all!
Andrew of Mitcham Posted at 1:30 PM November 08, 2011
Surely if Nicole Kidman, not one of my favourite actresses, is returning $6.70 for every $1 invested in her, then she's worth every cent. Same goes for everyone on the list except Drew Barrymore who is overall losing money for investors in her films.

Behrend men advance in NCAAs
HOLLAND, Mich. -- Nick DeLisio scored 19 points and Shane Skelly contributed several key baskets during crunch time to help Penn State Behrend to a 70-66 overtime win over Hope in the opening round of the NCAA Division III Tournament on Friday at DeVos Fieldhouse.
The victory vaults Behrend (24-4) into a second-round matchup at 7 p.m. today against Wheaton (Ill.), a 64-57 winner over Rose-Hulman (Ind.) Friday.
Behrend used a 9-0 run midway through the second half to turn a 43-42 deficit into a 51-43 lead.
Hope was led by Nate Van Arendonk's 17 points, answered with a run of its own to pull even with seven minutes to play in the second half.
The teams battled on even terms throughout the first half, as both exhibited hot shooting hands. Hope hit on 13-of-23 field-goal attempts for 57 percent, and Behrend kept pace by converting 14-of-26 first-half shots.
But those hot shooting touches disappeared in the second half, as Hope connected on only 6-of-22 shots (27.3 percent) and Behrend made 9-of-27 (33 percent).
Behrend trailed by two until Skelly drained a jumper with 1 minute, 45 seconds remaining to tie the score at 58-58, and that would be the last points scored in regulation.
Skelly picked up where he left off in overtime, scoring on back-to-back jumpers to give Behrend a 62-58 lead, and Casey Courneen's two free throws widened the lead to 64-58.
Behrend continued to hit free throws in the extra session, but a pair of 3-pointers by Hope's Corey McMahon kept the Flying Dutchmen within striking distance, and Behrend led just 69-66 with 31 seconds remaining.
But Mike Knoll's free throw made it 70-66 with 7 seconds remaining, and Behrend held on for the win.
Zane Hackett finished with 12 points and Courneen added 11 for Behrend. Alex Eidson contributed 12 for Hope.

Fewer US suicides since Prozac's introduction
PROZAC is not linked to an increased risk of suicide – in fact, it may have saved 33,600 American lives. That's the controversial conclusion of a study at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Michael Milane and colleagues used population and prescription data to show that fewer people have killed themselves in the US since Prozac (fluoxetine) was introduced there in 1988 (PLoS Medicine, DOI: 10.1371/journal.pmed.0030190). The rising number of prescriptions for Prozac correlated with a steady decline in suicides. But they acknowledge that this does not prove a link.
Tim Kendall of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in London says the comparison is too simplistic. "The paper is looking at all the wrong things," he says. A more likely explanation for the fewer suicides is that doctors are now better at treating depression, he says. For example, in the late 1980s, doctors became more cautious about prescribing tricyclic drugs, which can be lethal if overdosed – a very common way of attempting suicide....

Did you get it to fly yet?
I'm considering buying one but I just read a thread on Wattflyer forums about it being very underpowered, and rather nose heavy. I was wondering how easy it would be to convert to a brushless setup - which could cure both of those problems. Is the motor stick mounted, or just fitted in a hole the right size?
Are the struts really necessary? It sounds like there may be a case for leaving them off, unless the wing would wobble.
Is it difficult to separate the two halves of the fuselage?
I bought a CC Lee 2 channel bang-bang controlled cheapo Cessna model, just out of curiosity, and to see if I could convert it to proper R/C for indoor flying. I haven't dismantled it yet, but the shell is a top and bottom half, like you describe. It looks like it might just be held together by the decals on the sides... or they might have glued it.
Maybe it would be better to hold the fuselage together with low tack masking tape on the outside? The glue on the cheap stuff tends to set harder after a while, of course. Perhaps the area where the tape goes could be coated with something, like a thin layer of epoxy or CA, so the tape could be pulled off more easily?

If I were to do it again I would definitely NOT this one. I would get the Horizon Hobby E-Flight Cessna 182 with the Brushless motor (I have one also). Far Better construction, cheaper and more power than you could imagine.
I hope that helps.

Just read this thread and the one on Watt Flyer.
Most of the comments seem to be about a model other than the ST one this thread is about. The ST Cessna is brushless, made of EPO completely, has scale fowler flaps, lights and flies really well. Power is very very good using a 3S Li-Po of 1600mAh although it will take a 2100 as well. The landing light is very visible and the scale, sprung noseleg works great. The main undercarriage is aluminium and been fine on my grass field. It's off the ground in a few feet anyway!
It is absolutely nothing like the EPS cheapo stuff like Skyartec or similar. If your model has a brushed motor and not EPO it is not ST!

I'm still wondering which was being reviewed at the start of this thread. I'm trying to resist buying more planes at the moment, but I'm still curious.
Dr Kiwi, you were right. I did learn a lot from converting that 2 channel Cessna, even though it never flew - it just nose dived and broke, got repaired then did it again It's all part of the experience though. It has flown in later incarnations with different wings - first a Cessna biplane, then one with an 80cm EPP wing - never very well though. Maybe I'll get it right it in the end. I might have another go at it this summer...
Correction: I bought a Cub and a Cessna. It was the Cub I converted. The Cessna is still in its box.
I've seen a very nice looking RTF brushless Cessna being flown but I don't know if it was an ST one.

BTW, why does the Skyartec 182 look just like the one at Parkflyers, which says Artec on it?

I think the ST Cessna is re-branded and sold by Great Planes as an exclusive. That's why it is not on the Hobby Lobby site. Not 100% on that though.
i love the scale lights set that is fitted to the ST Cessna. That landing light is very visib le, even in bright daylight. Evening flying is very cool!!
I don't look at the date on threads, I just look at what's written once I've found it. I just look around for things that interest me and read them. If i read every thread when they started I'd never get to fly!! Just like to make the odd comment when i feel like it really.
I do look at the dates, but I don't let that stop me from posting Most of the really active threads are about things that came out recently, understandably, or about things that are popular but could stand some modification. I guess if something is a really good design, the threads for it die out almost immediately.
Some planes are a bit of a minority sport and it's hard to find out much about them. In that case, it's well worth asking people that know about them, even if they haven't said a word on the subject in a few years. I've briefly disturbed the slumber of a couple of really old threads about planes I bought secondhand, to ask the basics like where should it balance, and what should the throws be.
«This 5CH SKYARTEC CESSNA 182 is different from others. This Cessna is equipped with 4 servos not 3 servos as is common. It includes everything the beginner needs. Servos and steering levers are mounted and the airplane could be ready for flight within 20 minutes to an hour. Furthermore, the plane uses EPS technique for the airframe in order to achieve both smooth surface and best dynamic material properties. The model has a Steerable front wheel and uses two servos mounted directly to the main wing roll rudders and the tail wing.».
My pierced dime, just to stir up trouble...

The Flu: When to Get Help
The flu can make you feel miserable, though it's not usually serious. Most teens get better after resting at home for a couple of days. But a few people need to pay extra attention when they get the flu. Call your doctor for advice if any of these things apply to you:
- If you have another health condition. People who have other health problems (such as asthma or diabetes) are more at risk of problems when they have the flu. For example, the flu can make some symptoms of an existing health problem worse — like giving someone with asthma breathing trouble.
- If you are pregnant. Pregnancy can affect a woman's immune system, making her more vulnerable to flu and other viruses. Because of this, pregnant women are at higher risk of having complications from the flu — although most will recover without complications.
- If your flu symptoms get better but then come back. When flu symptoms return with a fever and a worse cough, that can be a sign of another infection. Occasionally, flu viruses cause chest infections like pneumonia. Pneumonia can lead to breathing trouble — and that can be an emergency.
- If your flu is still getting worse after 5 days. If this happens, ask your doctor for advice.

Founded in 1711, Beaufort, the "Queen of the Carolina Sea Islands" exudes warm southern hospitality, coastal breezes, and a rich cultural environment. Repeatedly named by Southern Living as "Favorite Small Southern Town" and as a Top 100 Small Art Town In The United States, Beaufort is home to the 8th best beach in the US and holds the distinction as a top 20 fishing destination in the US. The Waterfront Park overlooks the Beaufort River and is home to many festivals including Water Festival and Shrimp Festival. Kayak trips, fishing trips and boat excursions are all available. The majority of the Historic District of Beaufort is on the National Register of Historic Places and is perfect for walking, biking and carriage tours.
Hunting Island State Park SC: Hunting Island is South Carolina's single most popular state park, attracting more than a million human visitors a year.Also attracted to the semi-tropical barrier island is an array of wildlife, ranging from loggerhead sea turtles to painted buntings, barracudas to sea horses, alligators, pelicans, dolphins and deer, raccoons, Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes and even the rare coral snake. What they all enjoy is five miles of beach, thousands of acres of marsh, tidal creeks and maritime forest, a saltwater lagoon and ocean inlet. Amenities include a fishing pier and some of the state's most desirable campsites and cabins. Adding to the natural history of the big park is a piece of man-made history: South Carolina's only publicly accessible historic lighthouse. Dating from the 1870s, the Hunting Island Lighthouse shoots 170 feet into the air, giving those who scale its heights a breathtaking view of the sweeping Lowcountry marshland and the Atlantic Ocean.

Former pastor granted new trialUPDATED 6:14 PM CST Nov 20, 2013
The Iowa Court of Appeals says Patrick Edouard will get a new trial.Video Transcript
A Pella pastor convicted of sexual exploitation is getting a new trial. Eric Hanson explains why Patrick Edouard's accusors will likely be asked to testify again. Everyone in Pella thought this case was behind them. It turns out the definition of one word will likely restart the case from the beginning. PKG) FOUR WOMEN TOLD JURORS THEIR PASTOR SEXUALLY EXPLOITED THEM. I think that my attraction to him was based on my need for his emotional support. PATRICK EDOUARD ADMITTED HE'D HAD AFFAIRS WITH ALL OF THEM - BUT SAID HE WASN'T THEIR COUNSELLOR. Did you ever tell her you would be her marital counselor? I didn't. JURORS AQUITTED HIM OF SEX ABUSE - BUT FOUND THE PASTOR-- Guilty of the crime of sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist. HE APPEALED, CLAIMING ONE THOSE JURORS WEREN'T PROPERLY INSTRUCTED. TODAY, THE APPEALS COURT AGREED WITH THE FORMER PASTOR. The court made a mistake in one instruction and didn't give the appropriate definition of what a counselor was. A KEY TO EDOUARD'S DEFENSE THAT WHILE THE AFFAIRS WERE WRONG, THEY WEREN'T ILLEGAL. Just because I'm engaging in a situation where I'm giving advice to someone, I may not be a counselor under that statute. SO THE CASE STARTS OVER FOR EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE ALLEGED VICTIMS. It takes some people back to square one, to the day that they got the news or the day that it occurred. VICTIM ADVOCATES SAY FOR THE LAST YEAR, FAMILIES - AND THE PELLA COMMUNITY - BELIEVED THE SCARS OF THIS CASE WERE BEHIND THEM. And that were hopefully already healed, you know. But now there's another gaping wound and it's like, 'Oh, alright. So this is going to control our lives again.' The attorney general's office will ask the state Supreme Court to look at this case. But unless they over-rule the appeals court, Edouard and all of his accusors will likely end up in a courtroom again-- with another jury listening to all the same allegations. So is Edouard now out of jail? He's been out on bond during the appeal. The sex offender registry says he's living in Michigan. Thanks, Eric.

Dwight Howard had 33 points and 11 rebounds, and the Orlando Magic won their fourth straight and sent the New York Knicks tumbling below .500 with a 111-99 victory Wednesday night.
Jameer Nelson added 19 points, Hedo Turkoglu had 16 points and 11 rebounds, and Brandon Bass chipped in 15 points for the Magic, who held Amare Stoudemire to his worst game this season and beat the Knicks for the sixth straight time and 13th in the last 15.
Jason Richardson scored nine of his 12 points in the fourth quarter, when the Magic broke away after leading by one after three.
Carmelo Anthony had 24 points for the Knicks (35-36), who lost for the seventh time in eight games and are below .500 for the first time since they were 8-9 after losing to Atlanta on Nov. 27.
Stoudemire was held to a season-low 13 points, shooting 6 of 20 from the floor. Chauncey Billups and Toney Douglas each scored 17 for the Knicks.
Howard averaged 27 points and 17 rebounds in the first two meetings this season and was largely unstoppable again in this one. He made 11 of 15 shots and kept New York from getting close down the stretch with some surprisingly strong foul shooting, finishing 11 for 13.
The Magic grabbed the lead for good with a 9-0 run early in the fourth quarter. Gilbert Arenas made a pair of free throws, Richardson made a 3-pointer, and Arenas followed with consecutive buckets to make it 90-82 with 7:55 left.
The Knicks hardly made a dent from there, as they were consistently forced to foul Howard and he kept coming through at the line.
The Knicks once spoke of finishing fifth in the Eastern Conference, but they might be lucky they've gone backward to seventh instead. Orlando seems locked into the No. 4 seed, and the Knicks have nobody to defend Howard and are consistently burned by the Magic's 3-point shooters when they double-team him.
The Knicks started Ronny Turiaf, who gives up an inch and 20 pounds, at center. When Howard caught the ball with Turiaf behind him on an early possession, a player on the Orlando bench yelled out "Too little!"
That was only one of New York's problems in this one.
The Magic got nine points apiece from Nelson and Bass in the first quarter en route to a 28-25 lead. Orlando led by as much as 10 in the period and was ahead most of the second before Billups led a late surge that moved the Knicks into the lead. They were up 59-55 after Nelson's 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer.
Orlando turned up the defense in the third, holding the Knicks to 7 of 23 shooting and taking a 79-78 lead to the final period after Nelson's jumper with 15 seconds remaining.
NOTES: The teams meet again here Monday as the makeup for a game that was postponed Nov. 2, after debris fell into the arena during an overnight cleaning of asbestos-related materials. ... Former New York Yankees star Bernie Williams, now an accomplished musician, played the national anthem on his guitar. Told before the game that Williams would be performing, Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy, a baseball fan, said he'd prefer to watch Williams play baseball. ... The Knicks wore "Nueva York" jerseys as part of the NBA's "Noche Latina" (Latin night) series.


text: MINISTRY OF DEFENCE 217/97 December 16, 1997 UK, FRANCE AND GERMANY JOIN FORCES FOR NEW GENERATION OF SATELLITES The United Kingdom, France and Germany have signed an agreement which could lead to a joint programme of military satellites for the new millennium. The Memorandum of Understanding covers the joint Project Definition phase for a future military satellite communications system. The joint programme is known as TRIMILSATCOM. The intention is to let two parallel competitive study contracts to the anticipated European prime contractors, Alcatal and Matra-Marconi Space; each of the three partner nations' industries will be equitably involved. After completion of these studies, it is planned that a prime contractor will then be selected for the implementation of the whole system, and a new MoU will be signed between the nations to cover this phase. The system needs to enter service in the middle of the next decade, to guarantee continuity of military satellite communications services. Military satellite communications are essential for all aspects of modern defence, particularly in view of the increasing importance of information availability to the success of military operations, on land, sea and in the air. The new system will support military requirements for survivable high data-rate communications within and between operational theatres, and offer interoperability with allies. The TRIMILSATCOM programme involves in particular the joint development, manufacture and launch of a constellation of geostationary satellites. The ownership and use of the constellation will be shared between the partner nations. The programme also includes joint management and control, together with the appropriate user terminal development and ground station facilities. The use of commercial services, which may be efficient for certain operations, will also be studied during the Project Definition phase. For the current phase of the programme, the partner nations have decided to set up a joint project management team, manned by all three nations, and have agreed on a common procurement strategy focused on competition. It is planned that the new Joint Organisation for Armaments Cooperation (OCCAR) will take on management responsibility for the implementation phase of the programme. The possibility of other nations and NATO involvement in the programme is being explored under EUMILSATCOM arrangements, covering Belgium, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. NOTES TO EDITORS 1. The requirement for UK military satellite communications is currently met by the SKYNET 4 Stage 1 system which consists of three Super High Frequency/Ultra High Frequency (SHF/UHF) satellites and an associated UK ground segment which provides satellite control and communications management facilities. These are currently being replaced by three new SKYNET 4 Stage 2 satellites, which in turn will require replacement in the middle of the next decade. The programme to provide these replacements is known as SKYNET 5. 2. Feasibility Studies (FS) for a number of collaborative approaches aimed at exploring the practicalities of meeting the SKYNET 5 requirement took place between 1993 and 1996. The next stage is Project Definition (PD), at the completion of which the project will move into implementation, the design and construction of the satellites and their associated ground equipment, and the launch of the space vehicles. 3. From early on in the SKYNET 5 programme, discussions took place with other nations concerning the scope for international collaboration. Those with France were known as BIMILSATCOM; with the addition of Germany, the initiative became TRIMILSATCOM. The negotiations covering TRIMILSTACOM PD began in early 1996, and were successfully completed in November 1997. 4. The complete TRIMILSATCOM programme envisages the joint development, manufacture and launch of at least four Super High Frequency(SHF)/Extremely High Frequency(EHF) satellites, together with the upgrading of user terminal and ground station facilities in each country. 5. TRIMILSATCOM PD envisages two parallel competitive studies being carried out by two separate industrial groupings. These will investigate a range of options for fulfilling the trinational requirements, including both paper studies and the development of key items of technology to investigate their applicability to proposed solutions. At the end of the PD phase, priced bids for the implementation contract will be sought. 6. Two industrial groupings have been formed, each led by a Prime Contractor, with whom the actual PD contracts will be placed. One is led by the French company Alacatel, the other by the Anglo-French firm Matra-Marconi Space (MMS). 7. At the conclusion of PD, the two Prime Contractors will submit bids for the implementation phase. The MoU for this phase will be negotiated during the second half of the PD period between the governments wishing to continue in the cooperative programme. 8. It is currently envisaged that implementation will be on the basis of down-selecting the bid from the PD contractor that offers the best value for money, but it is possible that new bids may be invited should it appear advantageous to do so.

the new social king of gluten
King Arthur Flour company is taking to the social internets, and the street to spread the word about how much better their flour is than all the other flour companies. They have hired bloggers, a food truck and will be instragraming itself in an effort to raise brand awareness among "young bakers." You could say that King Arthur is just looking to brush off the competition by spending some dough...

Boys' Deaths Strike a Chinese Nerve
BEIJING—The discovery last week of the bodies of five children in a trash bin has rattled China's online community, highlighting anger over the country's wealth gap.
State-run Xinhua news agency on Tuesday said it had confirmed the identities of five boys, from nine to 13 years old, who it described as street children and who were found dead Friday inside a garbage container in the town of Bijie in southwestern Guizhou, one of China's poorest provinces. The boys, all surnamed Tao, likely died of carbon-monoxide poisoning after lighting a fire inside the bin and climbing inside to take shelter from the cold, state media said, citing local police.
Their deaths struck a particular chord, not just because it came on the heels of a meeting in Beijing picking a new Communist Party leadership but because of the echoes of a tale many Chinese associate with the horrors of capitalism, Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Match Girl." The story, about a poor Danish girl who dies from exposure on New Year's Eve trying to sell matches on the street, was once included in Chinese primary school text books.
According to Xinhua, the boys were the sons of three brothers, two of whom had left home to work as garbage collectors in the coastal city of Shenzhen. The remaining brother, Tao Jinyou, described a situation of little adult oversight for the boys and said four of the five had dropped out of school.
"Sometimes they didn't even come home at night," Xinhua quoted him as saying.
Mr. Tao told Xinhua the boys had gone out to play three weeks earlier and never came back. Local authorities have launched an investigation in the deaths and suspended or dismissed six officials pending the results of the investigation, Xinhua said.
Bijie, where the children lived, is a coal-rich but poverty-stricken city with a reputation for corruption that has sent a steady stream of petitioners to Beijing in recent years. A number of the city's residents have left to work in other places, leaving children in the care of grandparents or relatives.
The news of the boys' deaths has consumed Chinese Internet users, hovering near the top of the trending topics list on Sina Corp.'s SINA -2.83 % popular Weibo microblogging service and leading Chinese search engine Baidu Inc. BIDU -0.09 % 's list of most-searched stories.
Stories of suffering children have particular impact in China amid the one-child policy and a strong belief in the family as the most basic unit of society. In this case, the impact appears to have been amplified by Chinese familiarity with "The Little Match Girl." "I thought the little match girl was something that only happened in capitalist societies," said one Sina Weibo microblogger. "Why this sense of superiority about our system?"
News of the children's deaths comes on the heels of the 18th Party Congress, which was characterized by speeches and state-run media editorials extolling the virtues of "socialism with Chinese characteristics," code for the country's state-dominated approach to capitalism. "Thanks to over 90 years of hard struggle, our party has rallied and led the people of all ethnic groups in turning the poor and backward old China into an increasingly prosperous and powerful new China," departing party chief Hu Jintao noted in the opening to a speech widely praised by the official media.
Some social-media users highlighted the contrast between that language and the incident in Guizhou. "At a time when we're crowing about the rise of the nation and the creation of a moderately well-off society, to have five children die while seeking warmth in a trash bin is truly bizarre," said Cao Lin, a columnist for the state-run China Youth Daily, on his microblog.
The nation's wealth gap ranks near the top of a long list of problems facing China's next generation of leaders, led by newly appointed Communist Party chief Xi Jinping. When China first began economic reforms in 1978, the vast majority of Chinese families were on roughly equal financial footing. Now the top 10% of Chinese families control 56% of income, according to a recent survey by Texas A&M University professor Gan Li, a figure that makes China more unequal than some African countries. Last week, Mr. Xi won applause online for an inaugural speech that said the party needed to do more to improve people's livelihoods.
Not all Internet users felt the government was to blame for the deaths. Some concentrated on the children's families instead, questioning why their parents didn't do more to keep them safe. The parents couldn't be reached for comment.
Still, much of the public anger over the deaths was directed at the government. "In an environment where leaders are the first to escape when things go bad, who's going to consider the poor, the homeless, the orphans?" one microblogger asked in a post that was later deleted.

Into the sad, shut-in life of Adele Wheeler, the tremulous single mom played by Kate Winslet in Labor Day, comes a man. A strong, hushed, handsome man.
He's handy around the house. He knows how to dance.
He can cook chili and make breakfast.
He teaches Adele's 13-year-old boy, Henry (Gattlin Griffith), how to play baseball.
And he has an awesome recipe for peach pie.
The fact that Frank Chambers (Josh Brolin) is also an escaped convict, imprisoned for killing someone, may complicate matters a bit. But hey, you take what you can get.

18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Doneby Peter Bregman
Based upon his weekly Harvard Business Review columns (which is one of the most popular columns on HBR.com, receiving hundreds of thousands of unique page views a month), 18 MINUTES clearly shows how busy people can cut through all the daily clutter and distractions and find a way to focus on those key items which are truly the top priorities in our lives. Bregman works from the premise that the best way to combat constant and distracting interruptions is to create productive distractions of one's own. Based upon a series of short bite-sized chapters, his approach allows us to safely navigate through the constant chatter of emails, text messages, phone calls, and endless meetings that prevent us from focusing our time on those things that are truly important to us. Mixing first-person insights along with unique case studies, Bregman sprinkles his charming book with pathways which help guide us -- pathways that can get us on the right trail in 18 minutes or less.
18 Minutosby Peter Bregman
18 minutos enseña a las personas con agendas realmente complicadas cómo eliminar las distracciones del día a día y cómo concentrarse en aquellas actividades que resultan realmente importantes en sus vidas. Bregman parte de la premisa de que la mejor fórmula para luchar contra las constantes interrupciones es crear nuestras propias distracciones productivas. Estructurada en breves capítulos, su estrategia nos permitirá navegar sin naufragar por el continuo flujo de correos electrónicos, mensajes, llamadas y reuniones que nos impiden dedicar nuestro tiempo a todo aquello que es realmente importante para nosotros#, invirtiendo sencillamente 18 minutos cada día.
Four Secondsby Peter Bregman
All too often our best efforts to accomplish the things we want most--to do our jobs well, to make meaningful contributions at home and at work, to have satisfying relationships with loved ones, friends, neighbors, and coworkers--are built on bad habits that sabotage us. We feel overwhelmed by our increasingly large to-do list, so we automatically multitask to get more done--and end up more stressed and more overloaded. We say something with the hopes of impressing the other person, but instead of end them--then spend days trying to repair the damage. We give what we think is a pep talk to our team-- but they walk away demotivated.How can we be most effective and productive in a world that moves too fast and demands so much of us?In Four Seconds, Peter Bregman shows that the answer is to pause for as few as four seconds--the length of a deep breath--to replace bad habits and reactions with more productive behaviors. In his trademark style of blending personal anecdotes with practical advice, Bregman reveals some of our most common counter-productive tendencies and describes counter-intuitive strategies for acting more intentionally, including: Why setting goals can actually harm your performance How to use strategic disengagement to recover focus and willpower Why listening--not arguing--is the best strategy for changing someone's mind How taking responsibility for someone else's failure can actually help you succeedDrawn from Bregman's hugely popular Harvard Business Review blog, this engaging and wise book provides simple solutions to create the results you want without the stress.

You can all but close the book on 2012-13 sports for Greeley schools.
No more fourth-and-goal situations, turnovers to assists comparisons, pin times, field-goal percentages, match points or pole vault heights to even think about.
The Greeley Unified girls golf team — Lauren Cruz, Sammy Geisick and Mitzi Reyes — will officially bring the year to a close today and Tuesday at the Class 4A State Championships at Englewood's Broken Tee Golf Course.
The highlight of the squad is the recent emergence of Reyes, who utilized a solid round in the regional competition to pave her way to the state meet — a 36-hole, stroke-play competition.
This will be the second straight appearance in the tournament for Cruz, who will be the first Greeley golfer to tee off this morning at 9:06 on hole No. 1.
The final weekend came and went without so much of a whisper for some and ended with jubilation for others.
Greeley Central pole-vaulter Addy Neibauer was easily the highlight of the spring season with her third straight state title at Saturday's Class 4A state meet at Jefferson County Stadium.
Now, give Neibauer time and she'll eventually realize her feat despite not going over the bar at a height she had hoped for. Twelve feet will have to do.
There's no doubt that there will come a time in the near future that Neibauer will realize how difficult her feat was, but yet how far in the past it will seem when she reaches greater heights at the Air Force Academy.
I feel safe to say that it will be a long time before a student-athlete as diverse and rounded as Neibauer competes for the Wildcats in any sport.
Later this week when the Northridge seniors march through the grass at District 6 Stadium to receive their diplomas, Saturday's loss to Mountain View to exit the 4A state baseball tournament will seem distant and may eventually be lost in future conversations about how close the Grizzlies came to upsetting top-seeded Pueblo West in the round of eight, forcing an opposing pitcher to throw 147 pitches to beat them.
Greeley West discus thrower Austin Waterman may not want to remember his final weekend of competition at the high school level, finishing second in the state.
For most, the runner-up finish would be reason enough to bust their buttons, but for Waterman is was a letdown after dominating the competition all season long.
The athletic calendar year produced the highest of highs in some instances and the lowest of lows in others.
The following is an unofficial inventory, in no particular order, of what will be remembered most from 2012-13.
» The state champion finish by the University High boys cross country team, led by senior Garrett Coles, allowing longtime coach Sharon Eberhard to record her first state title as a coach.
» The turnaround of the Northridge football team, emerging from the doghouse of the 4A ranks to one of the top 10 teams in the state, thus ending the "no comment" stretch for players and coaches that had lingered for nearly two seasons.
» The continuance of success for the Dayspring Christian Academy football team, which is making postseason appearances a priority at the Class 1A 8-man level despite the graduation of some of the school's best-ever student athletes.
» The heartbreaking situation at Greeley West when Tyler Roggy, the oldest son of head football coach Mark Roggy, drowned just before the season started. Tyler was an assistant on his father's coaching staff.
It left the Spartans playing with heavy hearts, digging deep to endure a time in their lives they'll never forget.
» Excitement brought on by the Greeley Central boys basketball team, which didn't let a lack of size determine its success as mighty mites Danny Butherus and Matt Garcia weaved their way around, past and through opposing defenses in the team's up-tempo style of play.
» When Greeley West senior Emilio Martinez marched to the top of the podium with the 125-pound wrestling title, it marked his third state title in four years, a feat unmatched by anybody but Neibauer this year.
» Waterman withstood the pressure of finishing his season unbeaten at heavyweight by being a pinning machine to pick up his second title in as many years.
» University High's regular-season success in girls tennis, led by senior Sofia Softas-Nall, whose only downfall in two seasons has been coming up short in the state tournament, but nonetheless finishing her career as arguably the best-ever player in University High history, compiling a career record of 71-10.
» The frustration of the Greeley West baseball team, which is still looking to get over the hump as a member of the Class 5A ranks, exiting the postseason in the first round.
» Roggy's resignation as the longtime and highly successful football coach at Greeley West, but only to take over the head job at Resurrection Christian in Loveland.
» The continued success of the girls soccer and boys and girls track teams at Frontier Academy, which is making a smoother than expected transition to the 3A ranks.
Senior Molly Morrison continued a four-year streak of leading the Wolverines with her second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run at the state meet.
Morrison will compete for the University of Northern Colorado next season.

The fun, fun, fun, fun is over: Rebecca Black's much-buzzed about "Friday" video was removed from YouTube on Friday – appropriately.
The wildly viral video, which became an overnight sensation because of its catchy – and absurd – lyrics, was pulled offline by Black's lawyers, who accused the producers, Ark Music Factory, of copyright infringement and unlawful exploitation of the aspiring pop star's publicity rights, reports the Hollywood Reporter.
The dispute over which party owns the rights to the song will go to court if the contract disagreement cannot be resolved.
For now, the YouTube page reads, "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Rebecca Black."

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Craig Biggio hit a tiebreaking two-run home run off Darryl Kile in the seventh inning as the Houston Astros beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 Friday night.
Biggio is 6-for-14 with two homers and six RBIs against his former teammate, who played for the Astros from 1991-97. Biggio hit an 0-1 pitch off the Stadium Club facade in the upper deck in left, a drive estimated at 424 feet after Julio Lugo singled with two outs.
Kile, coming off his first 20-win season, is 1-2 with a 7.00 ERA after three starts. He allowed four runs and eight hits in seven innings, falling to 1-3 against his old team.
Kent Bottenfield (1-1), an 18-game winner for the Cardinals in 1999, allowed two runs in seven innings. Bottenfield, who threw a five-hit shutout at St. Louis on Aug. 20, 2000, allowed five hits and struck out four with no walks and is 4-1 for his career against the Cardinals.
Mike Jackson worked the eighth and Billy Wagner finished for his third save.
Reds 3, Mets 2
NEW YORK (AP) - The Cincinnati Reds tied the modern NL record by playing their 174th straight game without being shut out, riding Pokey Reese's three-run homer and nifty fielding to beat the New York Mets 3-2 Friday night.
The Reds will try to break the 1992-93 Philadelphia Phillies' mark for avoiding shutouts on Saturday when they face Al Leiter. It was Leiter who last blanked Cincinnati, doing it Oct. 4, 1999, in a wild card playoff.
The 1931-33 New York Yankees hold the major league for consecutive games without being shut out at 308.
Cubs 4, Pirates 2
CHICAGO (AP) - Jason Bere pitched six solid innings and Ricky Gutierrez hit a two-run homer to give the Chicago Cubs a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday.
Bere (2-0) allowed one run and four hits, and struck out eight in his second start of the season.
Bere cruised through the first five innings, allowing only two hits, but began to show signs of fatigue in the sixth when he allowed the first three Pirates to reach base, including pitcher Bronson Arroyo on a four-pitch walk.
Jason Kendall's single drove in Jack Wilson and the Pirates appeared ready to break through for a big inning with runners on first and second and no outs. But Bere retired the next three batters before being replaced by Kyle Farnsworth to start the seventh.
Jeff Fassero pitched the ninth for his fifth save in five opportunities.
Marlins 9, Expos 3
MONTREAL (AP) - Ryan Dempster pitched 7 2/3 strong innings and Mike Lowell homered and had four RBIs to lead the Florida Marlins to a 9-3 victory over the Montreal Expos on Friday night.
Dempster (2-0) held the Expos without a hit through four innings as Florida built a 6-0 lead before Lee Stevens doubled to lead off the fifth. One out later, Orlando Cabrera doubled in Stevens for Montreal's first run.
Dempster, who improved his record at Olympic Stadium to 4-0 in five career starts, allowed five hits and three runs.
Charles Johnson, 2-for-5, homered off Javier Vazquez (1-1) with two outs in the second to open the scoring. Johnson also doubled in the sixth, one of four straight Florida hits in the inning off newly acquired Masato Yoshii.
Braves 4, Phillies 2
ATLANTA (AP) - Tom Glavine pitched six strong innings, Wes Helms hit a two-run homer and the Atlanta Braves defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 Friday night.
Glavine (1-1) rebounded from a rough outing at Florida - he gave up three homers in five innings - to beat the Phillies, early leaders in the NL East.
Glavine allowed only two hits in six innings before tiring in the seventh. He surrendered three singles, including a two-out, run-scoring hit by Marlon Anderson that finished off the Atlanta starter.
Rookie Jason Michaels followed with his first major league hit against Mike Remlinger, bringing in another run before the Braves escaped the jam on Doug Glanville's pop-out.
John Rocker pitched a perfect ninth for his third save.

Espańola Island (Isla Espańola), Galapagos Islands
A popular tourist stop, Isla Espanola is the oldest and most southern island in the Galapagos Archipelago. Around a 10 to 12 hour trip by boat from
Isla Santa Cruz
, which is 90 km southeast, Espanola's main attraction is its endemic wildlife. A fantastic place to go
bird watching
, this island is home to the famed and endemic Waved Albatross, considered to be among the most spectacular birds in the world. Worth touring between the months of late March through to December, when the Waved Albatross rests and nests here, this island is just 61 sq km in size.
Also known as Hood, Isla Espanola has two main visitor sites; one is Punta Suarez on the western end of the island, while Gardner Bay sits on the eastern end. Landing at Punta Suarez is a wet one. However, it is worth it because the wildlife here is amazing. Take a walk along the 2 km long trail to see playful sea lions, a fantastic array of sea birds and some of the largest Marine Iguanas in the archipelago in action.
Considered to be among the best tourist spots in the
Galapagos Islands
, Punta Suarez is also the habitat for colorful Espanola Lava lizards, Masked boobies and Blue footed boobies. Among the many birds found here are the Galapagos Dove, the Galapagos Hawk, the Warbler Finch, the Hood Mockingbird, the Large-Cactus Finch, the Large-Billed Flycatcher and the Small-Ground Finch. Aside from the gorgeous Waved Albatross, other sea birds seen here include the Swallow-Tailed Gull, Red-Billed Tropicbirds, Audubon's Shearwaters and American Oystercatchers.
East of the island sits Gardner Bay, a tourist favorite for swimming and snorkeling. With a beautiful white sand beach, Gardner Bay is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beauty of this area. There is also a sea lion colony here. If you happen to visit here between October and December, you will find Green Sea Turtles mating just off shore.

Assuming you prefer not to remortgage the house in order to buy a ticket for Barbra Streisand's next farewell tour, a soirée with Steven Brinberg is definitely the next best thing. Yes, I can already hear your objections: isn't there something just a little too, well, camp about the idea of a man impersonating the world's most precious diva?
Well, in normal circumstances, that would be true. Camp too often becomes an excuse for woefully untalented acts to pretend that they are the funniest thing since La Cage Aux Folles. (Yes, I mean you, Kiki & Herb.) But the New

The Home Economics Career Preparation program's 32nd annual Employer-Employee Banquet menu included healthy servings of scholarships and appreciation for students and businesses.
About 325 students and employers attended the banquet in mid-April at Snodgrass Hall in First Christian Church, 3001 Wolflin Ave., a news release said.
The Amarillo Independent School District puts on the yearly event to honor employers of students in the cooperative education program and HECP advisory council members, as well as to present awards and scholarships to students, the release said. Since 1982, the HECP council has given an estimated $64,000 in scholarship funds to approximately 160 HECP students, the release said.
At the April 13 banquet, the council awarded 14 scholarships totaling $7,000. The release said the money came from donations from the Panhandle Restaurant Association and area HECP employers and from arts and crafts shows sponsored by the HECP programs.
This year also included the first awarding of a college scholarship in honor of Andrew Lewis, who was killed in a plane crash in the summer of 1998, the release said. Lewis's mother, Irene Lewis, formerly taught in the HECP program at Palo Duro High School.
Graduating Tascosa High School senior Chris Bernson was awarded the scholarship.

Second District congressional candidate Herb Rule is challenging the circumstances under which he was stopped by Fayetteville police and cited for suspicion of driving while intoxicated, a charge he says he'll fight.
Rule, a Democrat, said through his campaign Friday that police did not have proper cause to stop him or to suspect that he had been drinking during the August traffic stop.
Rule has maintained that he is not guilty.
The campaign claims video of the stop shows that police made inconsistent statements and that field sobriety tests conducted on the 74-year-old Rule were "highly flawed and did not follow the established standards."
Fayetteville police didn't immediately return a call for comment.

To demonstrate self control in the use of the physical space and in working with the group.
To create an imaginary environment using gestures and the body with expressive movement.
To explore using the body and not the voice to express action and feelings.
As part of the study of pantomime, students will practice their skills by exploratory movement followed by a group pantomime of an "adventure". Teachers are free to choose their unique "movement adventure" from a variety of sources. This lesson is based on a simple outline of a camping adventure that is created from this teacher's imagination. Two books that have inspired this tale are "Going on a Bear Hunt" and "Blueberries for Sal". The lesson focus is not, however, on simply retelling the story, but experiencing the tale through movement and mime.
A major objective of this lesson is allowing the children to explore the physical space safely and cooperatively, respecting the space of others. This hands-on drama experience will actively involve the global learners in the classroom and fully engage the imaginations of the children.
Materials/Equipment Needed:
CD Player/tape player
Music of Mozart "A Little Night Music"
Any classical selection that builds to a lively pace
A tambourine or hand drum and a mallet
| Lesson Procedure:
Warm-up and Introduction:
Have kindergarten students gather five at a time and sit crisscross-applesauce in front of you. Have them check their posture and sit up tall "against a tree". Tell them that we are going to go on a pretend adventure today. We will be using our bodies, but not our voices, is a sentence to keep repeating as you go along. Ask they children to pretend that their fingers are happy spiders and to move them up and down the imaginary web. Model this for them. Tell them to demonstrate their very own spiders climbing up and down their web. Instruct them to freeze their motion when you hit your drum. This is for control. Remind them that when they hear the sound of the tambourine, they are always to freeze.
Now demonstrate the pantomime task of eating an apple for them. Remove it from your pocket or an imaginary tree. Feel it. Admire it. Wipe it on your clothes. Bite it. Chew it. Enjoy it. And hold the core. Use the word "PANTOMIME' to describe your actions.
Have the children imitate your pantomime of the apple. Choose a volunteer to come up and show their apple eating skills to the class. Ask the children to tell how they know it was an apple. Talk about the following skills of pantomime:
Tell the children they are ready to go on the adventure.
Begin the CD music as accompaniment to the action. Remind them to use their bodies and be aware of the their neighbor. Point out areas in the room that are "out of bounds". Remind them not to touch their neighbor.
Have children find a space to lie on the floor as if asleep. You say "WAKE UP YOU SLEEPY HEADS!" 'TIME TO STRETCH AND GET UP FOR OUR CAMPING TRIP". Now the teacher can describe out loud what you are seeing. Example: "Oh, I am seeing some sleepyheads stretching and yawning over here". "Somebody in this corner is still asleep!" Guide them into standing up in their space and looking into an imaginary mirror.
Now have them imitate you as you groom hair, dress, and brush you teeth. Have them put on their rubber imaginary boots. Ask the children, who can raise their hands and tell me what color your boots are? Everyone will want to tell you the color of their boots and this is a good assessment question to determine if all the children are understanding the activity.
Now have the children put on their backpacks. Tell them the packs are heavy. Now have them raise their hands and respond to your question, "What is in the backpack that makes it so heavy?" Then open one of the imaginary backpacks, and for fun, take out some funny imaginary objects. Example: the cat, a television, a phone and say "we can't take everything in the house!" This will make the children laugh and want to find something of their own that is humorous. If there is time, you can have everyone take out something extraneous from the "backpack". Now have them put the backpacks on, and line up behind you.
The trail walk begins. You can change or elaborate on these suggested activities:
"DOESN'T IT FEEL GOOD TO BE HOME! For fun, you can ask, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO MAKE WITH THOSE BLUEBERRIES?"
Summarize the pantomime activities that the students accomplished in the "Movement Adventure". This can be accomplished with a question and answer format.
Ask the children to describe their favorite part of the adventure.
Finish the lesson with other assessment activities such as drawing or painting a picture of the imaginary adventure. Have them include a picture of themselves.
Follow - activity assessment to the lesson: Drawing or painting of the "adventure"
Special Considerations:
Other follow-up activities for this lesson are, on another day, bring some blueberries or frozen blueberries to class for a cooking project, muffins are popular. Have a parent assist you. Read Blueberries for Sal. Make and bake the muffins. Have a "Movement Adventure" once again, perhaps a review of the lesson. Eat the muffins with the class!

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Turkey continued firing heavy artillery into Syria Wednesday, killing several Syrian soldiers at a military outpost, a move approved by the Turkish parliament Thursday.
The conflict came after five Turkish civilians died in a cross-border mortar shell attack Tuesday.
In an emergency session Thursday morning, parliamentarians passed a proposal allowing Turkey to respond to Syrian aggression with military force.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Turkish artillery killed several Syrian soldiers at a military base near the border town of Tel Abyad in retaliation for the civilian deaths.
On Tuesday, a mortar shell scored a direct hit on a house in the Turkish village of Akcakale, killing a woman, her three young daughters and another woman and wounding at least 10 others, including two policemen, The Associated Press reported.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan issued a statement saying Turkey "will never leave unreciprocated such provocations by the Syrian regime against our national security."
"Our armed forces at the border region responded to this atrocious attack with artillery fire on points in Syria that were detected with radar, in lines with the rules of engagement," the statement read.
Turkey appealed to NATO and the U.N. Security Council to intervene on its behalf.
In a letter to the Security Council president, Turkish U.N. Ambassador Ertugrul Apakan called the attack "a flagrant violation of international law, as well as a breach of international peace and security."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the United States was "outraged" at the cross-border attack, calling it "a very, very dangerous situation" and urging "all responsible nations …to persuade the Assad regime to have a cease-fire, quit assaulting their own people and begin the process of a political transition."
Clinton reportedly assured Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu that Turkey had full U.S. backing with NATO and the U.N.
More than 90,000 Syrians are now living in Turkish refugee camps near the border, where Turkey continues to beef up its military presence.
Meanwhile, in a precautionary move, Israel Defense Forces troops escorted Israeli Sukkot vacationers further down the slopes of the Mount Hermon ski resort after about 50 Syrians in civilian clothing, some armed with machine guns, were seen near the border.
Israeli troops have been reinforcing the border with Syria since early September in preparation for any spillover from the bloody 18-month civil war, which so far has shown little signs of abating.
During a tour of the border Wednesday, IDF chief of intelligence Maj.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi said "the weakening of the Syrian regime's grip and the increasing infiltration of global jihad elements pose a new threat [to Israel], which the army is preparing for."

and you can shut it as well Blodwyn
I get the youngsters.......
Quoted from Vanessa....... who we will have to find a proper forum name for
I am 45 years old and just got into running this year. I'm quite fit and before falling in love with running was a walker/trekker. This year trekked to Everest Base Camp, completed 12 of the Welsh 3000s and walked London to Brighton to raise money for the local hospice.
I'm a mum of 3 working 30 hours a week as a Teaching Assistant in foundation (4&5 year olds) so my job is quite active.
I am happy to run in any weather (although ice scares me due to injury potential) and am very determined once I set myself a goal.
I've got confirmed entry to MK Half next March and Milton Keynes Marathon next May (again supporting the hospice) and I want to give it my best shot. I'm just back to running after 2 weeks off after slipping while running and twisting my knee so I need to up my game again.
My PBs are:
5K 28:09 and 10K 1:01:17
My hope is to complete the Marathon in under 5 hours.
My usual training is Mon - Body Pump, Tues - run 30 mins, Weds- run 30 mins, Thurs - Body pump, Friday - run 30 mins, Sat - LSR (longest 8.5 m before my knee injusry so I may need to build back up), Sun - rest.
oi.......I shall go off and stalk Vanessa......... she doesnt realise how lucky she is.
Just pop the cow in the tumble drier that will shrink it, always works for me
Put dead cow in a Wellington silly
Happy Festives everyone
are we shut down already for Christmas..........
My name hasnt appeared once yet......... Huffs
She should have been impaled on her walking stick and left at the bus stop as an example to others not to try it on, bloody twirlies ..................
