Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

but i really want someone to defeat him and show the new generation has gotten stronger and this is the perfect opponent for sasuke so that he can finally be on BM Naruto level otherwise there no opponet sasuke can prove to be equal unless he fights naruto again
It looks like madara can only use the perfect form susan'o while the rinnegan is activated.

So I followed the link to that YouTube display of Madara vs Hirashima from one of the Naruto video games. I was not impressed at all, the only thing that this shows is how easily one of the tailed beast can be taken out by the 1st Hokages power, I was just disappointed because of the lack of fight that they put into the battle there just should have been a little more powers displayed mind you that they only animated the beginning of the fight so who knows what techniques they displayed after Hirashima took out the 9 tails. But I will say this as a reminder to people out that undermine the 1st Hokage's power --> Hirashima is the only ninja in the world to date that has captured all of the tailed beast by himself.... NOT even Naruto did that, it doesn't count if they are just willing to just join you. Hirashima had to tame those beast.

absolutely wrong. The act of performing perfect susano can only be obtained by activating ur MS, ITACHI has proven that one. With sasuke because he used to much and not gradually progressing his sight faded quickly but EMS U are actually able permanently use it at its highest strength. Now with rinnegan u gain new power but never lose sharingan power at all 3 levels.
Now I am just throwing this out there. From all the lesson that we have heard about dispelling genjutsu cast upon on a ninja. I was thinking kabuto still has a chance because of the white snake. To me it seems that they are 2 different people and if itachi cast izanami on kabuto the snake might still be alive cos if look at the jiraiya situation when he went sage mode, pa & ma didn't have nothing to with jiraiya when he hurt, it didn't cost no damage to either of them.
589 - Survive!
(The Kages look up at the colossal, mega construct in absolute deference.)
Gaara: "How on earth do we beat that?"
Raikage: "WE DON'T YOU FOOL! WE'RE GONNA DIE IF WE TRY, NO TWO ****S ABOUT IT!"
Tsunade (shivering in utter fear): "If there are anymore words of encourage, I'd like to hear them now, Tsuchikage!"
Tsuchikage: "Noo, Raikage's right for once. We have to survive, flee, and live to fight another day-strategic retreat. You don't think I've lived this long without being able to know when to cut my losses. Don't think this means we're giving up. We'll hunt him down and try to take him out in every theater of war he he crops, one day when we are adequately prepared. "
Mei: "Well, what are we waiting for? I don't want to die before I'm married!"
(The ultimate Susano-o forms a dark, purplish flame in its right hand and spiraling winds crackling with light electricity in its left hand. The Susano-o then starts to forcibly mix the two chakras together, creating instability and earthquakes. Meanwhile, the Kages are fleeing, but stay close together.)
Madara: "I don't think so… You've forced my hand, now deal with the consequences! I'll call this one, Flame of End Days! With this power, I can create and ruin!"
(The Susano-o controls a miniature, purplish, black, flaming vortex between two hands. Susano-o places it on the ground. Soon it gathers tremendous mass and range as it spins viciously through the air. The Kages look back to spot the gargantuan inferno as it engulfs the surrounding area, setting unholy fires to the environment. The sky, dark sends out branches of lightning tendrils that are reaching down from the sky, linking to the massive hurricane below. The Kages turn to face their doom, walls of darkness clouds out all else visible.)
Tsunade: "We can't outrun this!" (Raikage outreaches his right hand.)
Raikage: "AHHHHHHH! (Raikage's Ration Armor dissipates around him, causing a circular Raiton barrier encasing him and the rest of the Kages.) This is only a buffer! I need reinforcement!" (Gaara makes a handseal, which causes sand to force its way out of the Raiton field to encase the Kages in a dense, dome of sand.)
Tsuchikage: "As long as this body draws breath-!" (Tsuchikage pounds the earth beneath him, this causes a layer of rock to encase the sand in yet another protective dome. As the spiraling flames collide with the Kages' defenses, it starts to crack, seconds later, the whole dome is engulfed in flames. From the top view, the hurricane is eating away at least a 5 mile radius. The scene switches over to HQ, everyone inside feels a deep tremor.)
Shikaku: "What the hell was that?! Inoichi?!" (Inoichi speaks from his seat, sensing the happenings in areas with the other sensors.)
Inoichi: "I, uhh, I don't know how to say this…" (The scene switches over to Naruto vs. Tobi. A spark flashes in the sky, as Naruto and Tobi separate from each other. They both land to the ground about 15ft from each other. Tobi's mask his half destroyed along with holes in his fan, and his robe in tatters. Naruto's headband is gone, he has his top jacket blown off, and his under shirt in tatters. Naruto bleeds from his mouth and is covered in minor scratches, Tobi has a scar going across the exposed portion of his face's skin [like Scar in the Lion King].)
Naruto: "That couldn't have been good. I need to finish this before more are hurt…"
Tobi: "Must've been him, just what has Kabuto been up to with that Edo Tensei?"
(A little ways a way, Kakashi and Gai are holding up a severely exhausted Killer Bee.)
Gai: "Woah, did you feel that, guys?"
Kakashi: "Yes, indeed. Whatever's going on is just as intense as here."
Killer Bee: "Baddies, cut us a break for our sake…"
(The scene switches back over to Madara's location. He has withdrawn his Susano-o.)
Madara: "Hmph, can't say I was disappointed. I was able to draw out among my most potent of techniques; the Rinnegan is truly impressive. Now, onto more pressing concerns. (As he turns his back and takes another step, he hears a crack. He picks up his hand notices that it's cracking. WHAT IS THIS?"
Next time: Edo Tensei's Collapse
Chapter 589 : Edo tensei no more.
Tsunade: !! That's...
Ei: It's enourmous...
Gaara: ....
Onoki: The technique he used to fatally wound Hashirama-dono
Madara's Perfect Susano, the summoning of Susano himself.
Mei: What?
Onoki: Since Madara was the very first Uchiha to awaken the eternal mangekyou sharingan, he was privileged with the actual form of Susano, the warrior.
Onoki: I've never seen it in battle, we can only assume things will be a lot worse.
Madara: Oh, things will be a lot worse.
Ei: You damn Uchiha!
Tsunade: Madara, you should be grateful thaty you are dead, the Tsuchikage managed to blow your arm and leg off. It's given you a second chance.
Madara: ....is that how you see this? You think this..."regeneration" is to my advantage? Fine
Madara uses a handseal
A giant mouth opens and swallows him
Tsunade: That's!!
Madara comes back out, normal.
Ei: I...don't believe it...
Madara: There, now there can be no complaints, I'm mortal.
Scene switch to Mifune and Kankuro who are heading back to the camp
Omoi: I can only stream so much more chakra into Deidara...
Kankuro: We need to find sealers, until then, you have to.
Omoi: no...I...can't...all out of....
Omoi collapses
Mifune: Kankuro!
Deidara: !? This..this is my chance.
Scene switch to Chouza
Dan: Chouza, where are your sealers?
Chouza: There are only so many going around.
One of the fodder holding the cube seal intact collapses
Dan: !!
Chouza; Shit, Darui!
Darui: What's happened?
Kakuzu: I wouldn't leave your guard open boy.
Kakuzu and Hizashi are tied to a rock with chains.
Darui: You shut your old mouth up, you won't be doing anything anytime soon anyway.
Chouza; !? No...
Dan: Run Chouza! *Secret technique, Ghost transformation*
Darui: !?
Dan slowly goes into the ground. The technique is exactly like Tobi's
Chouza: Darui, watch out!
Dan come out from behind and sticks his hand through Darui, Darui goes numb
Dan releases Kakuzu and Hizashi
Chouza: no...we only have so many people.
Scene switch to the rookies running
All of the sudden they are met with Muu and Genma's squad
Neji: What's this?
Sakura: Genma-san!
Shikamaru: That's the enemy, attack him!
Muu: No other choice.
Muu removes the bandages on his chest, he has the same jutsu as Deidara near his heart.
Rubber dude: No way...EVERYBODY RUN!
Muu/Deidara simultaneously: Boom!
A big flash of light
Hizashi holding Chouza by the neck
Kakuzu ripping Darui's hear out
Dan traveling to Madara's location.
Itachi: And now, the finale.
Kabuto ends Edo tensei
All the edos vanish
Dan manages to sneak a peak on Tsunade
Dan: Good...
tobi fought hashirama and used izangai to escape
the battle in critical condition with most of his
powers locked away but gaining new ones in return. madara gave him his eyes.A plan was hatched and they fought Hashirama once more in one of the many civil wars raging on at that time and defeated him which sparked the first shinobi world war.(I assume the conversation the young onoki had with madara in the flashback in the beginning of the kage fight with madara was right before the first world war when his plan was already in motion)The 2nd probably made the impure world intended to resurrect his brother but due to the reaction from most countries and himself i guess ? not really sure but anyway most thought it was
an atrocity against the flow of life and death
so he decided not to use it anymore although
at the same time tobi was using his dna for his own needs.The uzamaki clan are slain and remaining members flee to other countries.
madara dies in the war as well but another plan is hatched or was already part of the plan
is set in motion at that time as well tobi
plants the rinnegan into a young nagato
one of the few shinobi with the right bloodline
to use the eyes(to take the heat off him so he can work in the shadows and start his recruiting phase for his impending actions
which is to capture the tailed beast.
the 2nd dies in the war leaving Hiruzen to rule
who takes the eventual dubb sannin shinobi
under his wing orochimaru a genius of his generation disbands but not before
delving into experiments with the 1rst dna
that the 2nd was unwilling to do and expirements with danzo and eventually even
makes a albeit watered down wood stlye clone
of the first he goes unaware of this for some time before actually encountering him since he left konaha before the test were all finished
he was the only positive result the rest of the shinobi died in the process.The 3rd war sets off
this is the war that involved most of the shinobi
tobi would recruit seeing as how everyone has finally made themselves a name and are processed int he bingo book and the history provided on akatski by the members themselves.nagato is older creates akatski discovers pain.the war settles.sometime after the fourth reigns.tobi obtains the fox and tries to fight the fourth stripped of the fox he retreats.the fourth dies hiruzen is back in power. the uchiha going through a rebellious stage are watched
tobi with itachi kills the uchiha clan
to prevent a war on itachi's part and revenge on tobi's though it might of also been to cover his tracks and throw dirt on the history even '
more or all who knows lol tobi controls the fourth mizukage brings in the bloody mist era
forms and allicance with nagato/pain
recruits kisama kukazu itachi the rest follow suit the naruto series starts now fast forward
nagato dies near mid completion of plan most 'akatski died tobi takes back rinnegan.{i highly doubt tobi was going to follow through with
the plan i think he made with madara
but when kabuto enters the picture madara
is brought back and he even has a similar conversation with kabuto in the first couple of momments he was brought back since he even
thought being brought back that way was for the most part a dispicable thing to do.the rest is yet to be seen.
Tsuchikage is older and more knowledgable, therefore, "stronger".
He knows more about madara, and the reason he was able to stop the meteor is because of his earth style jutsu, he made the meteor lighter than it was making it "easier", if you will, to stop it. Plus, towards the end gaara helped a little in stopping the meteor.
I'm not putting the tsuchikage down, but him stopping the meteor doesn't mean he is stronger than raikage. They both have their expertise.

The previous chapter really dragged too long especially with kabutos flashback, atleast we have a reprieve now.........gooed team work from the kages, i hope itachi stops the endo tensei in the next chapter....cant wait to read it!
from the manga, it seems the later generation is weak compared to the former generation. I mean it was the 1st hokage alone fighting madara. i was expecting just 1 kage to be fighting him not the 5 of them. This shows that the present day kages are weak compared to the former. i just pray naruto outshine them all, i mean i wish he doesn't take the kage title after the war because i know they will want him to have it. I see naruto refusing the title because he feels he hasn't change sasuke yet.
who else craped thier pants when they saw the perfect sasuno'o?
this week chapter should b gd
Watch THIS! ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDjSu...ature=youtu.be
it was goo can't wait until the next one
This was a decent fight I can't wait to the next when all five kages go in to fight the real madara.This will be the final battle.
Senju vs. Uchiha
:flawTsunade will beat Madara)
without the regeneration.....the five kages is more than enough to beat Madara....
i think oonok will die , kabuto forced to stop edo tensi and saske will got some answers but befor itachi could convince him will die again! (funny part will be saske learns edo tensi! with the secrete docs cames out from oruchimaru's hidden room and he will use it against tobi!) yamato may be scape too gotten extra wood style experience!
ok so my prediction is ... we havent seen the last of kabuto maybe sasuke will attack itachi so he can spend more time with him thus allowing kabuto to awaken and attack the uchiha brothers Oonoki and tsunade will die fighting madara and after the war naruto will gain the position of hokage
i loved the chapter.....and madara is beast so is hashi..!!!

You know that thing where someone with your name suddenly gets super famous for writing e-books about women having sex with dinosaurs, and so literally everyone you know starts emailing to ask if you took a gender-swapped pseudonym to express your filthy, filthy sauropod desires? No? It's just me? It's just me, Chris Sims? Huh. I would've thought that'd be more common to the human experience.
Either way, that's exactly what happened when Christie Sims (no relation) started making headlines a few weeks ago for being what I can only assume is our generation's most prolific authoress of dinosaur porn.
And when I say prolific, I mean it: She's got 60 of these things on Amazon that have been written this year. Even if they're just quick reads that clock in at around 14 pages each, that's a pretty respectable output, and since she's mentioned in interviews that appealing to the underserved dinosaur rape fan has been extremely profitable, it's hard not to respect that work ethic. I'll give props to anybody who stays that hard on their grind, even if that particular grind happens to be against the throbbing boner of a horny stegosaurus.
Point being, if I'm going to keep getting confused with another C. Sims who thinks a lot about dinosaurs -- and because $3 is the exact price that something has to be before curiosity outweighs good sense -- I might as well get familiar with the source material. I picked out three recent offerings from her extensive catalog based solely on the titles and cover art, which she and writing partner Alara Branwen have admitted to paying $5 for, and which may have been a huge overcharge. And let me tell you, they are everything you expect them to be. Just ... way more of it.
First up, Sims and Branwen's ...
Mounted by the Gryphon
"Tears began to slide down my cheeks. I had never been with a man, let alone a master of the skies."
Before I dove into the dinosaur erotica, I thought I'd see what Christie's approach was to a more traditional fantasy creature. There were more than a few stories about werewolves -- including one about a threesome with werewolf cousins -- but let's be honest here. I'm someone who has an Internet connection in a post-Twilight world. If I want to read about werewolf sex, there are options. Gryphons, however, were a new one for me, and I can only imagine that this was a true revelation for the person out there who couldn't decide if they wanted to get fucked by a bird or a lion. Finally, they no longer have to choose.
To be honest, though, it has a pretty slow start. Our protagonist in this story -- who doesn't even get a name -- is a young lady in a vaguely D&D-ish fantasy world who gets sold into slavery when her father's land is conquered by a rival noble who commands an army of gryphons. There's a pretty long sequence establishing her station in the feudal pecking order and how her job is to feed said gryphons, but when she actually goes to work, there's a new gryphon down in the stable and guess what he wants for lunch. Here's a hint: It's not food.
If you guessed "to put its penis into a human vagina," congratulations! You are correct!

"I've had it with that asshole ordering off-menu."
Surprisingly, nonconsensual midair sex with a mythological eagle-lion isn't quite enough to get things done! Sims and Branwen throw in a little BDSM, too, just to make sure that nobody gets bored:
"Suddenly, stinging pain raked over my exposed skin. The gryphon struck me again, using its long tail to whip me. Each strike left a group of small red welts. I screamed, begging for more. I deserved to be punished; I was keeping the gryphon locked up. Why shouldn't it punish me?"
The gryphon also kills a couple of equally unnamed guards before allowing what's-her-name to climb on its back and fly off to her new life. This is a ... happy ending?
Christie Sims/Alara Branwen
"No, that cums later."
I can appreciate that the metaphor of flight representing freedom adds an additional layer to a story in which a gryphon penis pretty much just represents a gryphon penis, but all the same, this one was a little underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, I'm not really the target audience (if I had to pick, I'd want the thrill of danger one can only get from a manticore), but still, it's kind of a letdown. "Fortunately," I still had two more to get through.
Next ...
Ravished by the Triceratops
"His breath ruffled the thatch of my pubic hair as he nuzzled my naked flesh and tickled me with his breath. The realization hit me like a club to the head. As I had been the cause of this creature losing his mate, he had decided that I was going to be the replacement!"
Brand X Pictures/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Honestly, this is a fairly standard Dino Law ruling."
I was not prepared for the incest themes in this story of triceratops rape, but at least this time our main character has a name.
Beliria is a cavewoman who sets out to prove her worth to the tribe by bringing down the most fearsome beast of the grasslands: a three-horned dinosaur! Everyone's pretty stoked about this, because, as Sims is sure to detail in the extended opening sequence, they use the dinosaurs for food, tools, rendering fat into lamp oil, and so on. Seriously, she goes on like this forever. It's kind of like those chapters in Moby-Dick that are all about the minutiae of whaling, except that -- unless I'm misremembering high school English -- Captain Ahab and the white whale don't end up fucking each other at the end.
Wavebreakmedia Ltd/Wavebreak Media/Getty Images
"To the last, I grapple with thee; from Hell's heart, I cock-stab at thee; for hate's sake, I spit not swallow thee."
There's also a brief sex scene with Beliria's (human) boyfriend, and I have to say, in a book about dinosaur sex, that's basically like a standup comedian who comes out to open for Slayer. I might like your jokes, pal, but you're not what I'm here to see.
Beliria does end up fighting a triceratops, but she's so distracted by a memory of her dad's boner that she ends up getting gored, KOed, and dragged back to the triceratops' love cave. Since she interrupted the triceratops' attempt at mating and busted one of its horns, it decides that it's just going to fuck her instead, because, you know, that's what dinosaurs do. And also it has saliva that heals up her gore wound, but that is glossed over like you would not believe.
Please note that the cover art, while truly amazing, is not to scale. Instead, it turns out that triceratopses have gigantic, mammalian genitals, and this is where things get weird. There's suddenly an undercurrent of empowerment running through the story, as Beliria's quest to fit a gigantic dinosaur penis inside her is presented as an obstacle to be heroically overcome. And when she does ...
"I understood that my body was an amazing thing, adaptable and perfect."
Christie Sims/Alara Branwen
"Your body is a wonderland ... specifically, Jurassic Park."
I'm not saying I definitely nodded and whispered, "You go, girl," when I read that sentence, but I'm not not saying it either.
Sadly, the story just kind of comes to a blunt, perfunctory end after that. I mean, look, I realize that you don't want your story of horny stegosauri to overstay its welcome, and that if you're reading it for the intended purpose, things are pretty much over once a triceratops busts a nut, but really. You take the time to give Beliria a motivation, at least resolve that "boy loses girl, girl meets horny dinosaur" story. Again, disappointing.
But then there's ...

- Estimating sea spray volume with a laser altimeter
- Author(s)
- Toffoli, A.; Babanin, A. V.; Donelan, M. A.; Haus, B. K.; Jeong, D.
- Abstract
- Down-looking laser altimeters are commonly used to measure the sea surface elevation. However, because the laser radiation is attenuated by spray droplets suspended along the transmission path, it is presumed that altimeters may also provide an indirect measure of the sea spray volume. Here we discuss this conjecture by means of laboratory experiments, which have been conducted in a wind-wave flume. A large number of wind conditions were considered between equivalent 10-metre wind speeds of 20 and 60 m/s in order to generate different spray volumes above the water surface. The facility was equipped with a laser and side-looking camera system to estimate the spray volume as well as a nearby down-looking laser altimeter. Results confirm that there is a robust degradation of the laser intensity for increasing wind speed and hence amount of spray droplets above the water surface. A simple regression model to extract spray volume from the average intensity of the laser radiation is presented, demonstrating the promise of laser altimeters for making in-situ spray observations. Additional observations will be required to calibrate the altimeters for applications in the open ocean marine environment.

|Edgewood crushes Springwood

Edgewood Academy defeated region foe Springwood Academy (Lanett) 50-18 Friday. Edgewood is now 3-0 for the season and has won its games by margins of 30, 31 and 32 points. Things are still not what they should be with the Wildcats even though great improvement has been made since the season started. "The first two games we had to come from behind. This week we started out with a bang and finished strong, it was just the in between that causes some concern," Wildcats head coach Bobby Carr said.
Edgewood's star running back Josh Crawford ran back the opening kickoff 78 yards and the Wildcats were out front to stay. The next Wildcats possession reminded fans of the recent four state championships won by the Wildcats in the last five years. The Wildcats started on their 8 yard line and drove Springwood into the ground. After 17 plays, almost 7 minutes of possession and 92 yards later, Crawford burst into the end zone for a touchdown. Taylor Hawthorne then connected with Keith Johnson on a short pass for the 2 point conversion. The Wildcats even stopped Springwood's next possession when Daniel Green picked off a pass. A 28 yard touchdown pass from Hawthorne to Heath Young put the Wildcats up 21-0.
Then Springwood mounted a comeback. Hawthorne was intercepted and Springwood returned it into the end zone to put points on the board. Edgewood was forced to punt and Springwood scored again. With a minute to go in the half the Wildcats lead was only 21-12. A touchdown was called back due to a penalty and Springwood held the momentum going into the locker room at intermission.
In the third quarter Edgewood fumbled and then had an 80 yard punt called back because of a penalty. Crawford scored from 13 yards out and that was called back. Finally with just 3 minutes left in the third quarter, Hawthorne scrambled into the end zone and then did the same for a 2-point conversion to extend the Wildcats lead to 29-12. Green scored a few minutes later on a reverse to conclude the third quarter 36-12. Hawthorne connected with Garrett Gibson midway in the final quarter and then Christian Barkley scored with 3 minutes remaining.
"We lost the momentum, but we got it back," Hawthorne said. "We were better prepared this week than we were the first two weeks. I think that is why we could turn things back around."
Getting the momentum back was important and it started at halftime for the Wildcats. "We made some adjustments with the offensive line at halftime and it worked. It helped our running game considerably in the second half," Carr said.
Edgewood has now won 34 games in a row. The Wildcats will travel to Eufaula next week to play Lakeside Academy in a non-region game.

Supreme Court Justice concerned about civics education
By ART PARKER, Editor
A few weeks ago Alabama Supreme Court Justice Jim Main (pictured right) spoke to students at the Jones School of Law at Faulkner University. In addition to reviewing the diversity of the Alabama Supreme Court, Main stressed the importance of civics education in our schools and the importance of promoting civics by the soon to be lawyers.

text: My daughter is 11 months old and I breastfed her exclusively till now but I want to start the weaning process because it is getting harder to pump at work. I still want to nurse atleast 2 or 3 times when she is at home and then give formula the rest of the feeds. And plus she has solids 2-3 times. So in that case if I nurse only twice a day and maybe pump one more time during the day will my milk supply go down? i.e Will I dry up and not have milk for her morning and night nursings? Some advice would really be appreciated.

Like many (I'm sure) we were shocked to hear that our close friend, Jimbo Martinez, would no longer be serving Beeville as mayor. We don't know how Jimbo even found time to serve in the capacity he did, having a job, family and a daughter fighting kidney failure. We no longer live in the Beeville area but know that while we lived there we saw him work tirelessly to serve the community.
Congratulations to Jimbo for a job well done and more accomplishments to come! May he take advantage of the extra time he will have with his family because we know God has bigger and better plans in the future for him as a public servant.
Tim and Heather Alaniz

Everybody knows commercials; the annoying interludes that gratingly occupy the period of time in between your scheduled programming. Often, commercials are muted or used as optimal times to perform a task that involves being removed from the television.
However, there are always exceptions to those rules; counting down the best ten commercials of 2013 is RSVLTS with another addition to our End of the Year event—the Top 10 Athlete Commercials of 2013.
RSVLTS Yearbook13 for the best year-end countdowns >>
12. Foot Locker All Is Right In The World
Mike Tyson returns Evander Holyfield's ear back.
11. Gatorade with Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade: Rivals
Given their Twitter feud, it seems shocking that Wade and Durant would agree to appear in the same commercial. But, this commercial illustrates the rivalry between two players who experience the game of basketball 24/7.
10. Samsung Mobile: LeBron James
LeBron James—following his two consecutive NBA Titles and MVP Awards—is at the top of the sports world. Hence, advertisers have been trying to get the most successful athlete of 2013 to endorse their products. In this Samsung commercial, LeBron gives viewers a look at his personal life through the eyes of the aforementioned technology company.
9. Maurice gets traded to Kris Humphries' entourage
James Harden and his crew know that Foot Locker is bringing new heat everyday. Not everyone got the message, so they banished Maurice to Kris Humphries' entourage.
8. Old Spice: Wes Welker Trapped Inside a Snow Globe
Old Spice is known for quirky and humorous commercials; trying to capture the media fire of Wes Welker signing with the Denver Broncos, the company of masculine toiletries signed him to do some new ads in his orange and blue colors.
7. Clay Matthews Handyman
RSVLTS would be remised if a Fathead commercial wasn't included on this list. In the latest installment, Clay Matthews' comedic talent is in full display with this Al Borland-like savvy for home improvement.
6. This is Sportscenter: Kevin Love Double Double Barista
With the golden days of Stuart Scott, Keith Olbermann, Rich Eisen, and Kenny Mayne in the rearview mirror, the famed news program has lost some of its appeal. However, one constant that pervades Sportscenter is its series of ads. In their most notable 2013 installment, Minnesota Timberwolves Forward Kevin Love was handing out his own signature brand of espressos with hilarious results.
5. Nike Basketball with LeBron James: Training Day
At heart, LeBron James is just a freakishly athletic kid with a love for puerile antics underneath the Miami sun. Such was the message of Nike Basketball in their "Training Day" ad that featured NBA's brightest superstar.
4. Madden 25 with Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson: Friendly Rivals
With the Steelers and the Ravens both falling to the wayside in the 2010's, two other teams had to take the mantle of fiercest and most hard-hitting rivalry. So, with the NFC West full of burgeoning talent, the Seahawks and 49ers seemed appropriate. In a TV Spot that advertised the latest installment of Madden's long franchise, Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick are competing virtually for video gaming supremacy—with Russell Wilson stealing Kaepernick's signature touchdown celebration at the end.
3. Kids Footlocker with Chris Bosh and Ray Allen: Neighborhood Kids
Even professional athletes have obligations. And, none are greater than a group of rambunctious children that require adult supervision—just ask Chris Bosh.
2. Footlocker with Julio Jones and Arian Foster: Not Famous Andy
Not Famous Andy may have put a hex on Arian Foster, Julio Jones and their respective teams—due to the fact that both players are injured and their teams have performed in a shockingly abysmal fashion.
1. Kyrie Irving and Pepsi MAX: Uncle Drew: Chapter 3
Kyrie Irving—one of the NBA's rising stars—has eased the pain that the Cleveland basketball team felt when LeBron James took his talents to South Beach. And, in this hilarious TV-Spot, Irving is seen with Uncle Drew—the elderly man with a shocking aptitude for the best sport on a court.

Succubi and Their Attendant Pleasures
I've had a really difficult time getting ahold of Mr. Lung recently. Part of it may be a result of his newfound happiness since he's on top and I'm on the bottom, a portion of it might come from his inability to manipulate mechanical devices as a result of poor blood circulation from wearing dual pinky rings but I think most of it results from a nefarious new addition to his local cable programming.
Yes, Jeff has succumbed to that tempting, nubile succubus that is the MLB Network. Just so you know how bad it has become, here's a recent phone conversation between the two of us.
Jeff: Why are you calling me?
Allen: Uh, because I wanted to wish you a happy new year and see if you were posting today.
J: Well, I'm busy right now.
A: Of course, Jeff. I just thought it would be nice to start off the new year by talking to my friend because I wanted to see how he spent his new year's eve.
J: Wait, what time is it? What day is it? Where am I?
A: Are you all right? Should I call an ambulance or something?
J: Shut up you ignorant fool. And leave me alone. I'm watching the MLB Network.
A: But Jeff, it hasn't even officially gone on the air yet. They're still just showing pictures.
J: I said shut up! I hate you! You're not my mother!
Needless to say, it hasn't gotten any better since then. Apparently the Network does not exist to solve arguments, it's there to start them. For intance, last night I was subjected to a lengthy discussion of the top nine homeruns in MLB history. When I mentioned that I was really just calling so I could get his address in order to send him a birthday present, he immediately started crying, screamed "You never understood me and you never will" and then abruptly hung up phone.
So, as we progress through this new year, I'm hopeful that the effects of this new drug will wear off. I mean, isn't it bad enough that I'm on the bottom while Jeff has a "beautiful girlfriend"? Haven't the gods laughed in my face enough with the football season I just had to sit through? Are the fates not satisfied now that the Steinbrenners have bought up a Kentucky Derby stable's worth of talent? Come back, Mr. Lung! There's life on this side of the screen, too.
10 Comments
But Allen – Carlton Fisk's home run was ranked higher then Aaron Boone's. YES THERE IS A BASEBALL GOD!! Oh, sorry, I'm not helping am I? Might I suggest that you send Mr. Lung a nice fruit basket. Perhaps his blood sugar is a little low.
Allen, do Jeff a favor and organize an intervention before his addiction to the MLB Network really takes hold. If you need us, we're here. Day or night. Just don't call during a rerun of Don Larsen's perfect game.
LOL Julia! Carlton Fisk rules!
This is hilarious. I have to admit, I'm kind of addicted to the MLB Network too. Surprisingly enough, some of my teachers understand when I tell them: But the Hot Stove Report was on! I couldn't do the assignment! Or the 1946 World Series recap was on! I couldn't do it!
And Jeff, it's very addicting, but I'm starting to do my homework in front of the TV… slowly…
The MLB Network is not available in Canada. On the positive side I am able to get Top Chef.
On the MLBlog roll, my dilemma is whether to click on Ron Gant Should Be In The Hall of Fame – or – Succubi and Their Attendant Pleasures.
Well, I was kind of hoping that you all would read this and then organize the intervention so I wasn't responsible. But, since that didn't happen, how about later this afternoon, say, around 3?
Russell, sorry to hear that the Canadians are not letting the Network in. On the bright side, you probably can find a 24 hour curling channel so there's that.
Julia, thanks for the suggestion. However, I decided to send Jeff a fruitcake instead. It just seemed more fitting.
Sounds like the only cure for Jeff is the real thing…Isn't it always…D
Nefarious does not get used nearly enough on mlblogs. I think I am going to make a point of whippin that bad boy out at some random juncture too. "So was that guy nefarious or what? Glad we got rid of him." Nice work.

Wild about wildlife?
May 30, 2012 —
PENNSYLVANIA — For 22 years, Angie Colarusso has been giving orphaned or injured wildlife in seven Pennsylvania counties a second chance to live in the wild. The licensed mammal rehabilitator, one of less than 35 professionals serving 67 counties, speaks with considerable experience when she urges concerned citizens who encounter seemingly stranded wildlife not to take the animals into their homes.
Apparently, Mother Nature still knows best. Plus, people with good intentions can find themselves facing fines from the Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) of up to $1500 per animal. "It's illegal for anyone without a license issued by the PGC to raise a wild animal," said Colarusso, who operates the non-profit Second Chance Wildlife Center. "Sometimes they're injured or truly orphaned, and it's important to get a rehabilitator involved. But in many cases, the mother is nearby and will return once you leave the area."
If the fine isn't enough to keep you at a respectful distance, consider this: any "high risk" rabies vector species (skunks, raccoons, foxes, bats, coyotes and groundhogs) confiscated after human contact must be euthanized and tested; it cannot be returned to the wild. "It's a death sentence for the animal," said Colarusso, who holds a special license for rabies vector species.
This year, with the unusually warm weather, Colarusso is seeing more babies on an earlier timetable. "Everything exploded early this year," she said. While she normally starts seeing fawns in late May, this year they've been showing up since early May.
Squirrels, rabbits, opossums and more have been busy, too, and Colarusso is actively bottle-feeding around 35 baby animals and caring for 70 animals overall with the help of volunteer Shane Kleiner and family members.
Another factor affecting wildlife in some of the counties Colarusso covers is gas drilling and pipelines. The removal of trees and brush due to clearcutting wipes out habitat and puts the animals on the move to try to find other places to live.
When trying to decide whether to contact a rehabilitator, Colarusso advises that the animal be observed for at least four hours to see if the parent returns. On the other hand, if a fawn is in distress, for example, walking around and crying, with a dry nose, it's probably time to place a call.
More reasons not to bring a wild animal home
• Taking wildlife into your home may transmit diseases to people or domestic animals. Wildlife can carry parasites such as fleas, ticks or lice that could infest you, your family, your home or your pets.
• Habituating wildlife to humans and domestic pets can cause wildlife to lose its natural fear of them and pose a safety risk to all.
• Misinformation can lead to improper feeding, dehydration and emaciation. By the time the animal is taken to a rehabilitator, some of these effects are irreversible.

State election records show that voters in Wisconsin's Democratic leaning counties have been more likely to register to vote on the day they cast their ballots. But Republican-leaning areas also saw heavy same-day registrations.
The Wisconsin State Journal reported that in three recent statewide elections, one in eight ballots came from voters who registered that same day.
According to the election data, 16 percent of voters in Democratic-leaning counties statewide registered on the day of the presidential election in 2008, when President Barack Obama won Wisconsin.
In GOP-leaning areas, however, the rate of same-day registration was just 2.6 percentage points lower.
Two years later when Republican Scott Walker was elected governor, the same-day registration rate was 5.9 percentage points higher for Democratic-leaning areas.

December 26, 2012 —
TOWN OF MINISINK, NY — On December 19, Carolyn Elefant, the lawyer representing Minisink residents, filed a joint petition for review with the DC Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals. The community intends to challenge the orders made by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) earlier this month to deny residents' rehearing request, and to approve Millennium Pipeline's compressor station proposal as the final order on Minisink's docket. The commission ruled in an unprecedented 3-2 split.
After a struggle that's lasted nearly a year and a half, this
effectively allows Minisink residents to forge ahead to pursue the case at the federal level. In its petition, the Minisink community asks the court to vacate FERC's orders on the grounds that they "are arbitrary and capricious and unsupported by material evidence."
The Minisink community is concerned about the possibility of a major pipeline disaster occurring similar to the explosion in San Bruno, CA in 2010, which left eight dead and dozens of homes and properties destroyed.

Glides on smooth and dries quickly on the skin. Add a little pur minerals powder and your good to go. I don't need to use an added sunscreen or moisturizer. I'm all about saving time in the morning. I don't find it glittery at all, as I get older the really matte products just accentuate the wrinkles more. As for the reviewer that complained about the pricing, it's the exact same pricing as in the drugstores (Canadian ones). The benefit with TSC is that when there are special live visits there is usually package deals, or showstopper bundles, and they can't be beat in any drugstore or online US websites. I wait till then to stock up.

Good Product
Par vk
de Golden Lake, ON
I purchased this product because I was going to the Dominican Republic with my sister and needed some sun protection for my face. I use the 4 in 1 powder and thought the 4 in 1 tinted moisturizer would be a good choice,and it worked very well. I have sensitive, combination skin and I am prone to breakouts. I have a hard time finding moisturizers that work with my skin but, so far I have not had any breakouts. I find the amount of moisturizer just right for me. I purchased the medium and if I did not have a bit of a tan the color would have been a bit dark. After I had a bit of a tan the color was perfect. My sister used this product and loved it as well. Her skin is dryer than mine and she put a light moisturizer on before she used the 4 in 1 tinted moisturizer and it worked for her. She will be purchasing some for herself.

Like it
Par Private Shopper
I also have oily skin. I first applied too heavily, then it was too pearly and came off easily as one of the reviewers commented. With a lighter application it does look more natural, although there is a little more glow then I would like. The colour is darker then the medium 4 in 1, but I do like that for the summer. I wear nothing else on top, don't need it. I actually prefer this to the 4 in 1 concealer. However, with using it more sparingly it defeats the purpose of the SPF contained in the product, therefore, an additional SPF product should be used. It obviously is an individual preference.

Not for Oily Skin
Par WorkingWife
de Burnaby, BC
I used this 4-in-1 for months (June-Oct) and really wanted to like it. Every day in the morning my face would look ok and during the day the make-up would be coming off and looking gross a few hours later. It is Not matt at all, very shiny and pearly looking plus my husband hated it. I recently tried a sample of a new brand and bought the full-size the next day. Great idea of the 4-in-1, but really just a bad product. It comes right off. Had make-up all over my work papers after touching my face which is pretty embaressing!
En résumé
Non, je ne recommanderais pas ceci à un ami

This foundation is way too sparkly for me! I thought it would be a fast, easy way for some coverage but I was wrong. It does not look natural at all.
Great product!
Par ANNA the shopper!

Glad I ordered this product from Pur. I've tried others and they do nothing for my skin, this one though gives you a nice hint of colour and does cover any imperfections. I bought the medium because I am fair skinned. I also mix a bit of Olay with 15spf with it and then apply. Good stuff!

Problem with the colour.
Par Prairie Girl
de Toronto
My shade is Light and I have been a faithful user of the 4-in-1 Pressed Powder for years. For the summer, I wanted to try the Tinted Mosturizer and purchased it in Light. The colour was way darker than the Pressed Powder in Light. It looked terrible. I wondered if I had received the Dark shade by accident. Unfortunately, Light is the lightest shade available. It ended up in the garbage.

An adult male sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his leg midafternoon Friday outside a Clovis eatery, according to police.
A witness told police the shooting followed a verbal confrontation, according to a Clovis Police incident report.
Eddie Torres sustained four wounds to his left leg and was treated at Plains Regional Medical Center, according to police. They said they had no further information on Torres.
Clovis Police Chief Dan Blair said they "have some very good leads" but no arrests had been made.
The police report identifies the suspect as a 6-foot, 180-pound Hispanic male.
An employee of Bill's Jumbo Burger in the 2100 block of Main Street said he saw a car pull up eastbound beside the drive-through and the driver get out and talk to Torres, who was in the drive-through, according to the police report. The employee said he heard four or five gunshots and saw both cars drive away from the scene, the report states.
An assistant manager of the eatery told the Clovis News Journal she was serving Torres in the drive-through when the incident occurred. The assistant manager said a man pulled up in a car in the adjacent Towne Crier parking lot, "got out of his car and started shooting" at Torres.
She said Torres got out of his car to hide beside the vehicle behind him.
After several shots were fired, the assistant manager said the suspect drove away in a northerly direction, and Torres drove away as well.
Police located Torres when they were called to PRMC for a report of a patient with gunshot wounds.

I've got sand in my vagina over the recent string of losses as well, but I'm not ready to bail on these guys yet.
They've both showed flashes of brilliance, but not as a tandem.
Do you think that if the 2 of them were to put their heads together and create plays for themselves and one another that they wouldn't be able to produce?
They're not frauds, they're pawns on a shaky chess board.

Idaho voters rebuke Luna, Otter in dumping ed laws
Idaho voters rejected all three of Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna's laws to overhaul education, a blow not only to the state's public schools leader but also to Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter.
With 99 percent of precincts counted, 66 percent of voters panned Luna's plan to spend $180 million to lease laptops for high school students and create online-class mandates.
The other two laws -- limits on teachers' collective bargaining rights and a new system of merit pay for teachers -- also flamed out, on margins of more than 12 percentage points.
On a night where voters preserved Republicans' hold on the Idaho Legislature and delivered nearly a supermajority to Mitt Romney, they couldn't stomach education changes that many teachers argued had been foisted on them from above.

Skip to comments.Meet the First Obama Girlfriend
Posted on 05/02/2012 12:18:02 PM PDT by Nachum
It only took nearly six years for the media to begin vetting President Obamas past.
Today, Vanity Fair released an excerpt from a new biography of Barack Obama by David Maraniss. The excerpt discusses Barack Obama's first love affair, with a white Australian woman named Genevieve Cook. It's a telling examination of who Obama was as a young man -- and it shows a self-absorbed "internationalist" with delusions of grandeur.
Photo credit Vanity Fair.
The book itself sounds like an ode to Obama. Maraniss writes, At age 20, Obama was a man of the world He could not be of one place, rooted and provincial. No, says Maraniss, this was a broadminded young man who knew the ways of different cultures better than he knew himself.
When he first moved to New York, he was in the midst of an affair with Alexandra McNear, a girl from Occidental. They exchanged a series of purple letters with one another turgid missives from overfevered young minds. Here, for example, is tendentious Obama explaining poetry to his young girlfriend:
I havent read The Waste Land for a year, and I never did bother to check all the footnotes. But I will hazard these statementsEliot contains the same ecstatic vision which runs from Münzer to Yeats. However, he retains a grounding in the social reality/order of his time. Facing what he perceives as a choice between ecstatic chaos and lifeless mechanistic order, he accedes to maintaining a separation of asexual purity and brutal sexual reality. And he wears a stoical face before this. Read his essay on Tradition and the Individual Talent, as well as Four Quartets,
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Hey, where's the BARF warning?
Semper Fi
didn't Maraniss write a book which fawned over Clinton?? I read his biography on Vince Lombardi- "When Pride Still Mattered"...good book but its length would've been cut in half, 500+ pages as it was, had he just told the story and left his opinion out of it...
I didn't think it could be true, but if there is one thing that Zero is worse at than being president, it's a literary critic.
What a pretentious, condescending little twerp.
I suspect he really did not believe what he was writing. However, I must admire him as a very gifted with prose as when it is all part of his "pick up" lines. He was good.
Who else here thinks it is strange this person is found before the election..She looks like she could be a Dyke friend..
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I wonder what the internal polling for this was? Had to be something for them to bring this out.
if true, then I owe the"won" an apology. I was convince he was a "down low" homosexual and the wookie was merely his beard
This is how he wrote to his girlfriend?
It reads like something Ignatius Reilly would write to Myrna.....
'Turgid' writing is generally an over-compensation for a 'flaccid' mind.
... Facing what he perceives as a choice between ecstatic chaos and lifeless mechanistic order, he accedes to maintaining a separation of asexual purity and brutal sexual reality. And he wears a stoical face before this.
Yes, I've written many a torrid love letter filled with phrases like that. What a pantload....
I believe it is Whittaker Chambers who made note of the phenomenon among Communists to despise those we would describe as liberals more than they despise conservatives. His use of the word "reactionaries" is very revealing and all the more revealing in that he expresses the generally held belief among Communists that that attitude can be ascribed to "ignorance. " Hence, the capacity of man to be educated and the perfectibility of man-shibboleths of communist doctrine.
I do not agree with the author, the importance of the article is not in the girlfriends but it his inadvertent revelation of his own communism.
Re: just before the election; no doubt someone in the White House is currently working on forging his college grades...just in case.
Birth certificate, ss card, draft card, all likely forgeries already.
The MSM refuses to dig into this guy's past...we only get to know about Republicans.
And by the way, what's the counterpart to 'jungle fever'? 'Urban concussion'?
Truly! LOL
They have the same chin. In some parts of the world it is refered to as a "Gemmell" chin, as in the Scottish Gemmell clan.
In the end, what we find out about Obama is what we already suspected: he was deeply narcissistic, pretentious, and in his own mind, an outsider to America.
How come it took so long for stuff like this to come out?
Ok, but who's the first boyfriend? FMD?
One point his propagandist Maraniss is trying to convey in his piece is the idea that Obama is not really a far-left guy. The claim is that he "moved beyond" that.
The propagandist even has Obama asking Jerry Kellman in interviewing for his "community organizer" job in Chicago to assure him that it wasn't a far left organization! LOL.
You are right. 0's head looks like it was Photoshopped.
Considering that Bill Ayers wrote his two "autobiographies" this is no surprise.
Wasn't in a known fact at Columbia in those days that George Eliot was not a HE?
If this were George Bush such ignorance would be deemed evidence of complete imbecility.
Headline: GEORGE W. BUSH THINKS GEORGE ELIOT WAS A MAN!
I wonder if he "explained" this...
She's doesn't appear to guilty.
And to think all this time I thought Barry was probably a Lindsey Graham.
look for those multiple layers in the jpeg
Any body else seeing a pattern here:
Bill Clinton - Born to govern. His only vision of the future was centered around becoming president.
Barack Obama - Born to govern, or at least influence and mold others of lesser intelligence.
Republican Presidents (lately) - succeed in business, live the American dream as provided them then decide that they need a permanent legacy.
"The head looks too big for his body in the picture..."
It does, but it's amazing how well it fits up his posterior relief hole.
Her body is nearly a carbon copy of his - just whiter.
She appears to be white white. And she married a Muslim.
It is pseudoacademic onanistic bullcr@p like this that makes me glad I was a science major. He writes as if he had a bad case of constipation.
Reminds me of that line in "Bananas" when Louise Lasser asks Woody Allen if he had read the "I Ching".
Trying to impress her, Allen replies, "I haven't read the Ching itself, but I have dabbled in Kirkegaard."
P.S.: from the photo, she appears to be a 2-bagger.
So where is she now?
It's the perspective. The photo was shot from somewhere above — that foreshortens the body, and makes the head appear larger. (That's not proof that the photo is genuine — but, if it's a fake, it's a good one.)
I thought his first girlfriend was Larry Sinclair in a dress.
I prefer to believe he found those statements in Cliffs Notes on the book The Waste Land.........
So where is she now?
white meat ping
My daughter works in Photoshop all the time.
She says the light source of BO's head is different from the source on the girl's face. Half his face is dark, meaning that the source is from slightly behind his right ear, yet the shadow on her face obscures her features to a much lesser degree on the same side, although they should have the same shadow.
She will end up being like George Costanza's girlfriend Susan that he drove to lesbianism.
And... you aren't too far off!
I'm not buying any of it. You'd think she would have come forward quite a while ago.
Notice Obama's white hand, oversized-head. THIS IS PHOTO-SHOPPED! Another complete fabrication from beginning to end.

Hello all,
today was a big day for me, my son and my husband, who was there cheering me on, and I just had to share. So apologies in advance for the long post.
After two months of pumping and taking milk into the hospital, worrying myself half to death about my supply issues, and trying to find as much information about things to help with it, I was finally able to breastfeed my little fellow today, for the first time.
I went into his room this evening, not expecting perfection by any means but, more an introduction/getting to know how things work kind of thing, for the both of us. Instead, after a moment or two, our little boy managed to latch on and take to it all like a duck to water. It looked to us that, he took a little over half of his hospital sized feed from me, before he needed to stop and sleep. I'm not sure how well he did by preemie standards, but I was impressed considering my low expectations before we began.
And at last I got to experience what other BF mothers do! It really is true, you just can't quite explain the way it feels to someone who's never tried it. It was the most amazing thing, there was such a sense of rightness about it all. Being apart from him since he was born was so tough. For the first few days in the mother and baby unit I was a mess. All around me I could hear new mothers with their babies, while I was alone in my room after my c-section and, he was in his incubator a floor above me. After I came home, I tried to distance myself from my feelings somewhat, just to cope with being away from him. It helped a little, but there were a lot of weepy moments, specially the ones where I had to turn my back at the end of a visit and walk away.
But things are getting better for us all. Robert's gaining weight nicely, getting stronger and much more aware of the world around him. He's been moved from the NICU into a step down unit so I can actually stay with him overnight now. I did so over the weekend. I was so excited I got about an hour of sleep, and spent the rest of the time just watching and listening to him. Oh, and making his nurse laugh when I rushed over to tell her the latest new thing I discovered about him. Then there was this evening and, I finally feel like a proper Mum now, instead of some woman who wanders in to visit a baby, cuddle him for a while and drop off some milk.
I fed my baby.

Impact of abusive supervision spreads well beyond targeted workers, Laurier researcher finds
Dec 5/13| For Immediate Release
Manuela Priesemuth, Assistant Professor
Kate Tippin, Director of Marketing & Communications
WATERLOO Bosses who bully employees jeopardize the morale and productivity of entire teams, a researcher at Wilfrid Laurier Universitys School of Business and Economics says.
It crushes the motivation to work together, said Manuela Priesemuth, assistant professor in Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management.
Working with University of Central Florida colleagues Marshall Schminke, Maureen L. Ambrose and Robert Folger, Priesemuth spent nearly four years studying the toxic effects of abusive supervision. The research involved almost 900 responses from workers surveyed anonymously among 222 work units, or groups, in Florida.
When I started, I thought that groups would do something to stick together the common-enemy effect, said Priesemuth. I didnt find that.
Instead, the research indicates abusive supervision in the workplace tends to weaken collective efficacy the bonds teams build for collaboration, motivation and the readiness to help each other.
People are affected by observing (abusive) behaviour, said Priesemuth. It happens in front of others and creates whole climates of toxicity. It doesnt happen in isolation. People share their experiences with co-workers.
Abusive supervision is an important workplace and societal topic, she adds. While some corporate cultures place faith in tough-love supervision, believing it encourages employees to work harder, our research shows that it actually destroys entire departments, work groups, people, and even peoples families, said Priesemuth.
A member of the Laurier faculty since July 2012, Priesemuth began the study while working on her doctorate at The University of Central Florida.
Companies need to have trustworthy steps in place to address reports of abusive supervision, she said. Workplace teams with strong collective efficacy, the study points out, do a better job of managing resources because they are better at analytical thinking and problem solving.
Human capital is your greatest asset, said Priesemuth. So its important to treat employees in a fair manner and try to eliminate any bullying in organizations.
The Academy of Management Journal recently published the study.
Established in 1966, the Laurier School of Business and Economics is one of Canadas leading business schools, with 5,500 students enrolled in undergraduate, graduate and diploma programs. It is home to Canadas largest business degree co-op program. For more information, visit wlu.ca/sbe.
