text: NEW YORK, Oct. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RAPP, a world-leading customer experience global agency and part of the Diversified Agency Services (DAS) division of Omnicom Group Inc. (NYSE: OMC), today announced that its Global Chief Strategy Officer, Loren Grossman, will also take on a newly-created position as Director of Applied Data. This new role will add a media analytics emphasis to Grossman's existing responsibility of overseeing an already-robust data and measurement capability at RAPP. These key tools provide smarter and more efficient uses of media for RAPP clients. In particular, Grossman will manage RAPP's growing alliance with fellow Omnicom agency, Annalect, with which it has created Dynamo, a unique and jointly-owned media platform. Dynamo integrates, deploys and optimizes acquisition and retention/optimization marketing in real time, allowing for individual customer-level campaign return on investment (ROI). "Data analytics is one of the cornerstones of our Strategy and Enablement Practice, and Loren – as our Chief Strategy Officer – is the obvious choice to broaden those capabilities," said Bob Horvath, Global CEO of RAPP. "By integrating media analytics with our existing data analytics, research, technology and cultural intelligence, we create actionable insights that lead to unforgettable customer experiences." Grossman, who founded the Strategy and Enablement Practice at RAPP, has served as Global Chief Strategy Officer since February 2008. An expert in direct response marketing strategy across multiple categories, he holds a master's degree from New York University and a bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania. "Our ability to collect, analyze and interpret data in order to make smarter business decisions for our clients is an essential aspect of our business," said Grossman. "I am eager to move this capability briskly forward in order to further our ability to offer insights that bring big ideas to life."

Matt Holliday feels very strongly about players disrespecting the game On Wednesday I was driving home and was listening to Matt Holliday who was a guest on SiriusXM MLB Network Radio, with Cliff Floyd and Mike Ferrin. Holliday was discussing the issue of PED use in baseball, and gave his thoughts about increasing the penalties for players who are caught using. Here were Holliday's suggestion. First positive test:162 game suspension (one full season), without pay. Second positive test: Suspended indefinitely, lifetime goes into effect. Give players the ability to apply for reinstatement after two years of second positive test result. After hearing this it got me to wondering if this idea of his is too harsh or is it just right? Is there really a penalty that is too harsh, especially for getting busted a second time? Afterward, hosts Mike Ferrin and Cliff Floyd had a lively and substantive discussion about MLB dishing out lifetime bans. Both agreed that a lifetime ban after a first...

Looking for job satisfaction? Want your boss to appreciate you? Why not quit your job, pack your bags and travel for a year.
Career breaks have long been regarded as a way to recharge batteries and perhaps mark a change from one career to another. But increasing numbers of employers, including BT, Prudential and Tesco, now regard time spent by their staff working or travelling abroad as valuable experience that can bring benefits back home.
Accountant PriceWaterhouseCoopers allows its employees to take career breaks lasting from 14 weeks to four years. Liz Brown, UK partner responsible for people and knowledge, says this not only enables employees to learn new skills that may be valuable to clients, but also enables PWC to compete for and retain the best recruits: 'Our people are the key to our success and we must treat them that way. We recognise that much of what they do outside the workplace is key to how they work with clients.'
Record numbers of people are taking career breaks to work or travel abroad. Voluntary Service Overseas received 58,000 applications last year, an all-time high. And it's not just students taking time out - the average age of a VSO volunteer is 35, eight years older than 16 years ago, and applications from business and management professionals rose by 61% in just six months to February 2000.
Even people with children are taking career breaks. Jacqueline and Morton Siersted travelled for six months with their three-year-old son Sebastian. 'People thought it unusual that we were taking a child. But as we started travelling we realised lots of other people, particularly Australians and New Zealanders, were doing the same, some with two or three children,' says Jacqueline. Five years on, Sebastian can still remember bits of his journey: catching a fish from a long boat in Borneo; the Great Barrier Reef.
Cary Cooper, professor of organisational psychology and health at Umist in Manchester, says the benefits depend on what you do during your break, your age and where you are in your career. For twenty-somethings who have gone into a career straight after college, he recommends working in other countries. Thirty and fortysomethings can benefit from working or travelling, provided they treat the experience as a 'quality-of-life audit'.
Cooper says the experience of travelling or living in a foreign country can draw a family closer. A break can be a quick fix, enabling you to face the next 20 years of employment. For someone who feels they are not going to proceed further up the work hierarchy, it can provide an opportunity to change direction or alter your work/life balance.
Breaks can also prove valuable for people in their early fifties, perhaps marking the switch from management to working more as a mentor, or from full-time to part-time.
Find your freedom and remain solvent
Forget the idea of simply hopping on a plane and leaving all your stresses and strains behind. Taking time out of work needs a lot of careful financial planning.
Your job. If you are planning to quit your job and find a new one when you return, it may be worth asking for severance pay. When Donna Bradshaw decided to travel five years ago, a friend encouraged her to approach her then employer, insurer Standard Life. 'They paid me £14,000. If you don't ask, you don't get,' she says.
Alternatively, if your employer is willing to keep a job open for you, it may also be willing to help fund your break. Accountant PricewaterhouseCoopers has given pharmaceuticals management consultant Kathy Wallis £10,000 towards the cost of sailing around the world in the year-long Times Clipper 2000 Yacht Race.
Your home. Unless you are cash rich, you will either have to sell your home or let it to cover the mortgage. Phillip Cartwright of Bath mortgage broker London & Country says: 'Selling is an option if you are in a career that can easily be picked up in a different area, such as teaching or medicine. But remember that property prices could increase a lot while you are away, and whatever capital you have could buy a lot less. Also, the costs of selling and buying again - stamp duty, estate agency and legal fees - will be very high.'
Letting can have drawbacks, however. First, you must have your mortgage lender's consent, or your house and contents insurance will be invalid. The lender may require a higher rate of interest.
Second, managing a property while you are travelling is impossible, and using a letting agent is not fool-proof.
Rick Marsland, a former BBC journalist, let his two-bedroom flat in Streatham, south London, when he took a year off to travel. He used a rental agency to find tenants and manage the property, but he had been away only a few months when things started going wrong.
'The manager of the business retired, and the agency was sold to people who started taking upfront commissions from tenants to get them properties. In January, my original tenants, two young women, did a runner.
'The agency found me a new tenant without telling me. The first I knew of it was when I rang and they started talking about him. After a few months the rent dried up.
'The new tenant had also done a runner, and this time the electricity and gas had been cut off because he had not paid the bills.'
Ask friends who are letting a home or renting one themselves to recommend a good agent. Read the Association of Letting Agents' guide 'Trouble Free Letting - What Every Landlord And Tenant Should Ask' (for a free copy send a stamped, addressed envelope to Arla, Maple House, 53-55 Woodside Road, Amersham, Bucks, HP6 6AA). Also, try to arrange for a family member or friend to keep an eye on how things are going.
Your money. If you are saving towards the cost of your break, make full use of your tax-free cash Isa allowances. Internet or telephone-based accounts are practical, as you can track your finances and get money anywhere in the world. Smile, at www.smile.co.uk, pays 6% on deposits of £1 upwards in its Isa account and 4.07% on its current account.
Borrowing money to travel is risky, as there's no guarantee you will find work as soon as you return. London & Country's Cartwright says most mortgage lenders will worry if you ask to extend your loan and be allowed to let your home at the same time as revealing you are quitting your job to go travelling.
'The answer has to be flexible mortgages, where you can overpay to build up equity, and then take a payment holiday,' he says.
Bristol & West offers several buy-to-let mortgages, based on rental income rather than salary. These allow you to draw on the equity in your home and quit your job simultaneously.
Its best deals are a five-year fixed-rate loan at 6.19% - you need equity of 15% and a monthly rent equal to 125% of your monthly mortgage payment - and a flexible loan at 5.5% for six months, then base rate plus 1.75%.
Credit cards are the easiest and cheapest way to get money as you travel, if you arrange for your bill to be paid off every month by direct debit from your current account. Visa and Mastercard are accepted in more than 21 million locations. Check at www.visa.com and www.mastercard.com to see if there are cash machines in the cities you plan to visit.
Working as you go helps to eke out your funds. Check whether you will need work visas with the relevant embassies and consulates before you go. Taking a Career Break by Joshua White (£11.95 Vacation Work Publications) lists the addresses of embassies and other useful organisations, plus a wealth of other information. Work Your Way around the World by Susan Griffiths (£12.95 Vacation Work Publications) gives advice and first-hand accounts of jobs from archaeological digs in Israel to yacht crewing in the West Indies.
The charity Voluntary Service Overseas organises individual placements for two years or business secondments lasting between six and 12 months. VSO provides return flights and arranges visas and permits for the country involved. Before you go, you can apply for a grant of up to £500 for equipment, and you will receive accommodation and a living allowance designed to provide a reasonable quality of life in your country of work. VSO pays your National Insurance while you are abroad, and provides personal accident and medical expenses cover.
Midway through your placement you can apply for another grant of approximately £300, which many people use to travel, or to visit the UK. After two years, on your return home you are entitled to a further £1,500 to help you resettle back home and find employment.
For further information about VSO opportunities, visit www.vso.org.uk or call 020 8780 7200.
Insurance. Gap year and backpacker travel policies often put greater emphasis on medical insurance than on belongings, on the basis that long-term travellers will be carrying little of value.
This helps to keep the cost down, but you should check that there is sufficient cover for your individual items, such as cameras, and to replace any travel documents lost or stolen. Check that you are covered for any hazardous activities.
Visit www.find.co.uk for a list of insurers and insurance brokers who sell gap-year policies.
Uncomfortable with being comfortable
Caroline Banks is renting out her home, giving up her job as a director of silk company Pongees and waving goodbye to friends and family. She is about to spend a year in India working with 30 hand-loom weavers.
She says: 'I stopped being comfortable with being comfortable. I have a good job, a lovely flat and great friends, but I wanted to do something positive in the world.'
Caroline thought of doing part-time voluntary work in this country. But on the Voluntary Service Overseas website (www.vso.org.uk), she found a slot for someone to work as a silk designer in Bihar, helping weavers produce silk for Western markets.
Caroline will receive the average wage for the area - £70 a month - plus accommodation. But in every other way, including learning Hindi, she is stepping into the unknown. 'There's a lot I don't know, but I need adventure.'
Caroline hopes the experience will benefit not only the Indian weavers, but also her career, perhaps enabling her to work internationally with designers, putting collections together. She says: 'I'm giving up security, but I do see this as a real career move.'
'After this, I'll sail through a difficult restructuring'
Kathy Wallis, a management consultant with PriceWaterhouseCoopers, and Marcus Johnson, a school teacher from Exeter, will spend the next three weeks sailing across the South Atlantic. They are crew members on the Plymouth clipper, which yesterday set sail from Cape Town for Salvador as part of the Times Clipper 2000 race.
Kathy says: 'I'd been working solidly for 17 years, and I'd been looking to do something different for a while, perhaps VSO. I had only recently taken up sailing and when a friend suggested this, I thought "No way". But the idea grew on me and I signed up for one leg.'
However, after a gruelling training session in the Solent in Force 8 winds, Kathy decided to sign up for the whole race, which lasts nearly a year. She raised money for the trip through sponsorship (PWC gave her £10,000; another company £5,000) and by remortgaging her house. The basic price of the race is £23,800, but Kathy estimates that food and accommodation during the 16 stopovers will cost a similar amount again. 'The stopovers last about 10 days, and important considerations are a big bed, air conditioning and television!'
Kathy feels she is developing as a person and gaining valuable experience: 'I just can't explain the excitement of doing this. We've just sailed round the Cape of Good Hope. It's something I wouldn't have ever thought I would, or could, do. I've achieved things I thought I would be scared by, and as a watch leader, I'm helping other people through that as well.'
PWC is particularly interested in how she and the other long-term crew members get everyone to work as a team in extreme conditions. The Plymouth has been struck by lightning twice, and on one occasion was flipped on to its side in a Pacific squall - and this makes restructuring a company seem quite tame.
Marcus had also been in the same teaching job for some time and wanted a change. He had inherited money from his parents, and when given the choice of a new job in Bristol or the challenge of Clipper 2000, he opted for the latter. His headmaster at Exeter School, Neil Gamble, has agreed to hold open a position for Marcus, and has even offered him promotion. Gamble says: 'Marcus is a very good maths teacher and a strong contributor to the life of the school. It was inconvenient to replace him for a year, but we felt it was worthwhile because he will come back a more self-sufficient individual, with honed leadership skills and a broader vision of the world.'

They put out a press release, I think it's not too much to ask...
Okay, I totally get that Home is free, and that it's a "beta," and that first day troubles are to be expected (see: LittleBIGPlanet), but they put out a press release about this launch, and considering that some people used Home as one of the reasons for buying a PS3 in the first place, it isn't too much to ask that they either deliver on what they proudly and confidently announced to the world that they would, or at least issue some kind of statement apologizing for the delay, and advising us on when we can expect the problems to be fixed.
If they had simply announced it on the forums, or to certain gaming sites as a soft launch, and not to the world with a public Press Release, then I would understand people trying to shut down the complainers. If they had made it an optional download from the PS Store, and not automatically given everyone the Home iconin thier XMB's, then I could buy that this is really a "beta."
But this is supposed to be the fullfillment of the promise that Home will launch in 2008, and while it may be working for everyone in a few days (or even in a few hours), hiding behind the mantra "it's only a Beta" is no excuse for their silience on these troubles.
If they simply came out and said "whoops, try again tomorrow," I would be fully satisfied. If they took down the servers and lunched them again in a week, I would be happy, but as far as Sony Press Relations is concerned, Home is live and available, but we know that it isn't true.
C'mon Sony, step up and be grown-ups here. We will understand, but only if you intend to be honest and mature about it.

India's Own Version of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, It's Called Rice Bucket Challenge
Nandini SharmaAug 25, 2014, 05.23 PM
Continue reading
Indians are known to take inspirations and break new grounds with that. In the wake of the recent
"Indian version for Indian Needs, Lets challenge our friends to take up the #RiceBucketChallenge," says the description in the Facebook page of the social campaign.
This challenge is a way to encourage charity for the poor. Under this challenge, the participants need to donate one bucket of cooked or raw rice to a poor household.
Even though the challenge was started only this Sunday and is still in its early stages, it has come as a fresh change. This new challenge is gearing up for a huge welcome. The official Facebook page has more than 10,000 likes in less than two days of its beginning.
Just like the Ice Bucket Challenge asks for a donation of $100 to the ALS association, for the Rice Bucket Challenge you can donate Rs 100 to a nearby hospital for the treatment of any poor patient.
"It's local, desi and a practical solution to issues in the vicinity. Instead of wasting water on ice bucket challenge, save water and feed the hungry," said the Facebook account of this 'desi' challenge.

About MeHi everyone & welcome to my port.
I used to model a few years ago and put it off to the side due to concentrating on my career in real estate.
I modelled in Perth Fashion Festival, 2 years of Style Aid, shoots for WA Tourism etc
Looking to get back into editorial/magazine shoots, hi fashion shots etc so I can show the kids one day I wasn't an old grey bastard all of my days :)
Currently trimming/cutting up, so will be ready to shoot in about 6 weeks - Mid to end September 2011.
More than happy to accommodate TFP, I will accept upon looking at the photographers portfolio - if you have talent, you have talent!
Have included some everyday shots from a few months ago amongst the professional photos - I currently have short hair and body shape as per gym shot with my beanie on - will be cut/ripped for shoot so no problems there as you can see from previous shoots.
As mentioned prior - TFP is fine, I want to get back into this more for personal enjoyment, experiences & for prints rather than money.
Best wishes all and thanks for your views/comments!

The real sheep dog does not protect the sheep for their sake. He protects them for his master, who is going to shear them for profit and/or eat them. He does exactly what his master, the guy who makes a profit from the sheep, tells him to do. If you follow a master and protect his investments then I guess you are a sheepdog.
Me, I like to think of myself as more like the family dog. Stay out of my yard, leave my kids alone and I am just a friendly old hound. Mess with my family and I will tear you to ribbons.
As far as the guy next door is concerned, he needs to get a nice family dog of his own.
Yup, I am a family dog.

1 Summons
They stood illuminated in the center of the room. A slice of light, escaping from the shuttered windows, neatly bisected the immense bedchambers. Kedor slowly drew his tulwars into a defensive position, his thick muscles rippling under bronzed skin. Loosening her shoulders with a few experimental swings and thrusts, the circling Shikha burst into action with a lightning attack. His bodyguard's swords a blur, she darted forward, raining blows faster than the eye could follow.
The shaft of sunlight exposed Shikha's feline grace, her naked skin, henna tattooed with a tiger stripe. Though thickly thewed, Kedor was hard pressed to repel her tightly controlled power. Then she was gone, her lithe sweating body vanishing into the shadows of the farthest reaches of his room.
"Rakshana," the shadows whispered. "Children of the Tiger."
"Masters of the Talwar." The sibilant voice seemed to issue from all sides.
Kedor spun, eyes drawn to a flicker in the dark. The barbed patterns on Shikha's dusky skin, the feline cast to her features, and jade eyes split by vertical pupils, all gave him the sense he was being stalked by a jungle cat. Out of the shadows she flew, the flash of water'd steel, a cascade of sparks, struck from his hastily interposed blades showered priceless carpets and she slipped silently into the surrounding gloom.
Every morning since he was five, Kedor had risen an hour before the sun, when all but the servants still slept. He had learned to defend himself from an ever increasing barrage of blows and pricks, all intended to enthuse the idea of defense as well as offense.
Feigning a stumble, he intercepted her next attack with a move taught and reinforced by Kay, a ten foot hulking savage of the Zuz'im Tribe. As his father's champion, he had been assigned to instruct Kedor in all things martial. Kay had been captured somewhere on the western frontiers of the empire. A defeated and shamed general, he was unable to return home.
Parrying wildly, Kedor thrust his shoulder into Shikha's sternum. His move was met by a burst of air as her breath exploded from her. She went sprawling into one of his leather chairs by the fire place. With a low snarl, she rose slowly from the chair with a feral grace. Her henna tattoos darkening noticeably, she seemed to suddenly exude danger and hostility. Shaking off this unexpected aura, Kedor pressed his advantage, blades hammering right and left attempting to quickly overpower her.
Patiently she parried, taking the brunt of his smashing blows. Flashes of sparks lit Kedor's quarters like lightning. A blindingly fast exchange of slashes, thrusts and parries ensued, building in intensity, strength, and speed. Just as he seemed to burst through her defenses she was gone again, her jade eyes, a flash of dappled tawny skin, and a sharp prick in his back. Kedor whirled to find Shikha smiling, swords sheathed across her back, tattoos faded once again to normality.
"Yes, you are starting to see," his amazon bodyguard purred. "All martial forms, including magic, are to be melded. You must make your own dance.
"I can take you no farther on this journey without your father's permission. You are Rakshana, in all but the ritual tattooing and certain lessons in a more mystical vein. You are now entitled to wear the crossed talwars."
Rakshana; what did this mean to him?
As Kedor toweled the sweat from his naked torso, he began to mull the options open to him at this time and their repercussions. He was now entitled to take up the Baldric of the Rakshana with its tiger breast plate. This would have consequences. It would by necessity change all of his plans. Did he wish to dispense with his carefully cultivated image as a fop and wastrel, that had so far kept him safe and seemingly harmless all these years?
He reached over his bed and took down the battered black leather and gold adorned harness that had hung on his wall since he was five.
Oh, how I've awaited this moment!
He knew there would be no mistaking the significance of bearing the crossed talwars of the Rakshana. Expectations would change, and the dangers of being a competent heir would escalate. Though, most would refuse to believe he had changed over night.
His thoughts were interrupted by an impatient knocking on his chambers doors. Alertly, with one hand on a sword hilt, Shikha answered . The nervous guardsman who stood there stammering, relayed his message. All who lived in the palace knew of Shikha "The Flame". She was the only amazon in the history of Elam to have killed two of the Palace Guard in some unknown dispute and still survive.
"It would seem the esteemed Mistress of the Household would have you report to her at five bells." She turned, giving the quaking messenger a chance to bolt. "You have but minutes young master. I would suggest haste over taste!"
Kedor hurriedly threw on a linen under tunic as he darted into the hallway, buckling on his baldric as he hurried after Shikha's rapidly retreating figure.
Grandmother beckons and all leap to respond!

you know what gets out bloodstains? alcohol.Mature
Charlie tucked a loose strand of her long, plum hair behind her ear. She had lost clear audio a few moments ago, but her hearing was sharp and it had only taken a few extra stolen yards to come back within range. Laughter rippled through the air, a woman's, but Charlie had lost visual to maintain her hearing. Just then, the sounds from the cabin stopped and all she could make out were the rustling of fabric and the birds chirping in the forest to the west. She closed her eyes and pressed her head against the log wall behind her. Involving civilians was always a fu*king problem. Why did she care so much?
They were the ones associating with known monsters. She was practically saving them.
"Get down, Samantha, shh!"
And there it was. The point where there was no turning back. He knew they weren't alone. Now they both had to die, and the blood of a civilian would be on her hands again. Briefly, she wondered how long it would haunt her. How many bottles of vodka were between this originating moment of guilt and the moment she accepted the stain on her soul and moved on?
When had that become what her life came down to?
Before the soon-to-be-casualty could ask what was happening, Charlie rose to her full height and leveled her golden twin DreamEaters between both of their eyes. The target knew, though, he knew immediately and instinctively what had befallen them in their quiet, isolated cabin in the middle of nowhere, miles beyond any neighbors or tracker paths. Low tech and discrete, he'd thought they'd be safe.
His eyes were the first to beg, but his voice was only a heartbeat behind. "Please, let her go. It's me you want."
In a millisecond she'd pulled both triggers and the blood splatter hit the walls, the stovetop, the back of a wooden chair, the face of a clock with copper hands and a dazzling blue sapphires clasped in the carefully wrought fingers. Two sapphires, one at seven and the longer one at six. Fragments of bone and wet brain tissue bespeckled the roast set on the table, still steaming, hot from the oven. They'd died before their last meal.
Charlie wondered if it mattered whether one died with or without a full stomach.
She saw them on their knees, muttering bloated pleas for their lives, and though it never happened it may as well have. It was the only image of them she would ever know outside of the Rorschach ink blot patterns of their cerebral matter on the walls.
Charlie left the scene without touching it. Let someone else clean up the mess. She already had a headache waiting for her at headquarters. It was time for her bi-weekly debriefing; once she reported in she would be there for at least three hours between the questions, paperwork, psych analysis, TEAPUD (Tactical execution and performance under duress) testing. At the end of it she could start taking greedy sips from her flask and move on to a full glass in the car they would have drive her home.
Her drinking was never questioned during the psych evaluations; she felt certain it was a deliberate oversight.
Four hours later she lit a cigarette as she shut the door to the interrogation room behind her. She was tired and hungry and thirstier than she'd expected to be. On her way to the lockers, she ashed on the windowsills. A girl she knew from her private school years nodded at her in quiet acknowledgement. She thought of Mitch, and Stryder, and Seth. She wondered if they were alive and didn't let herself think any harder on it. She'd already known over a dozen of her graduating class that were not so lucky. Living wasn't a guarantee.
In the car, she downed a tumbler of gin – the only full bottle left in the small bar – in one mouthful between puffs of her cigarette. Before the liquor even settled in her stomach, she was running through the catalog of companions she could call up. Sleep would not come easy and nothing tired her out more than a good romp. She told the driver the address and poured herself another drink.

Hogan Lovells has hired an IP partner in Shanghai to bolster its Chinese practice.
William Fisher joins the firm from Perkins Coie in Seattle, where he was of counsel.
His arrival follows the hire of China expert Song Zhu from Squire Sanders & Dempsey earlier this month, another move to beef up its Chinese IP capabilities (15 November 2011). While Zhu's practice is focused on the Chinese market, he is based in the firm's San Francisco office.
Fisher focuses on patents, trademarks, trade secrets and copyright and previously spent two years as a lawyer at Hogan Lovells legacy firm Lovells' Shanghai office.
The firm said the hires form part of its strategy to add weight to its Sino-Pacific IP practice.
Hogan Lovells co-CEO David Harris said: "[Fisher] is a stand-out in the China IP context with that very rare blend of local and US experience which is increasingly demanded by the market."
Fisher said: "It's great to be back with the firm and I look forward to supporting our clients in Europe and the United States with their business in China."

Michael Clarke has warned England that their Ashes nemesis Mitchell Johnson is bowling even better than when he blew them away in Australia 18 months ago.
Johnson took 37 wickets as Australia claimed a 5-0 whitewash Down Under during the 2013-14 campaign and is likely to spearhead the Aussies' attack in this summer's series, which starts in Cardiff on Wednesday.
Johnson has never shown the form in England that winter, and England have wondered whether he can reproduce it in these conditions. According to his captain, Johnson can be even be more threatening.
"Mitchell is as ready as I have seen him," said Clarke. "He is bowling as quickly as anything I have ever faced but he is also swinging the ball, so it is not much fun in the nets.
"Mitchell has always done this through his career. When he's seen a big series or a big opportunity he's really looked forward to it. That's Mitchell's personality.
"He is fit, he is healthy and he is excited about what lies ahead. People doubt how well he can bowl here and that's given him the fire back in his belly. If he can bowl how he has since we have landed in this country, I think he is going to have a huge impact."
England are confident they will do better this time, though, and captain Alastair Cook said: "Mitchell was outstanding in that series but some of our guys had the wood over him in the series in 2009 and 2010-11.
"He had the wood over us there but this series will not be decided by one player. It is about which side plays the best."
Johnson is unlikely to temper his fiery personality even though both captains were reminded of their responsibilities by ICC match referee Ranjan Madugalle.
The last two campaigns between these sides were particularly bad-tempered and while nobody expects perfect harmony, Clarke admitted that he needed to monitor his own behaviour.
During the First Ashes Test in Brisbane in November 2013, Clarke was caught on the stump microphone using an obscenity to threaten England's Jimmy Anderson. He was fined 20 per cent of his match fee.
Clarke said: "If anyone overstepped the mark in the last series, it was me, and as captain of this team I need to be more disciplined. I know I will be.
"The mutual respect is certainly there. It always has been from my point of view, certainly towards the England team. They have a lot of experience, they have some fantastic players and they deserve that respect.
Gentlemen and Sledgers: A History of the Ashes in quotes
Gentlemen and Sledgers: A History of the Ashes in quotes
1/10 "This will lose you the match"
Frederick 'The Demon' Spofforth to W. G. Grace, 1882 The sledge that started the Ashes, in response to Grace's sharp practice during Australia's second innings. Coming from the infernal Frederick Spofforth – Test cricket's first great bowler – it was not a threat; it was the most menacing promise.
2/10 "Strike one!"
Lindsey Hassett to Tony Lock, 1950s There wasn't much sledging until the 1970s, but Lindsay Hassett's baseball commentary was a neat way of saying what many people thought at the time: that the England left-arm spinner Lock was a chucker.
3/10 "Take a good look at this arse of mine, you'll see plenty of it this summer"
David Steele to Rodney Marsh, 1975 Given that Steele was a grey-haired, uncapped 33-year-old about to face the brutish fast-bowling duo of Jeff Thomson and Dennis Lillee, it took serious balls to highlight his backside in such a way. He ended up as BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
4/10 "When are your balls going to drop, sonny?" "I don't know but at least I'm playing cricket for my own country."
Tony Greig and David Hookes, 1977 Greig, England's South African-born captain, picked the wrong target in the Aussie debutant Hookes, who won the exchange hands-down and demonstrated an ability to ignore the original question that David Cameron would be proud of.
5/10 "What do you think this is, a f*****g tea party? No you can't have a f*****g glass of water! You can wait like the rest of us!"
Allan Border to Robin Smith, 1989 How can you not love something as over the top as this? In his side's 4-0 victory in 1989, the Australian captain Border was not so much a hardass as a graniteass. He was notoriously anti-social towards the England players, never more so than when Smith asked for a drink. Goodness knows how Border would have reacted to Oliver Twist.
6/10 "When in Rome, dear boy"
Mike Atherton to Ian Healy, 1991 When Atherton, on his first Ashes tour, was called a cheat for not walking, he produced a response that now has its own T-shirt. It was a masterpiece of brevity: in five words he managed to be witty, righteous, ballsy and deliciously patronising.
7/10 Enjoy it, Nasser. This is your last Test. We will never see you again."
Steve Waugh to Nasser Hussain, 1990s and 2000s The appeal of this sledge is not in the words so much as the man who delivered them: coming from Steve Waugh, the Michael Corleone of Australian cricket, there is something delightfully sinister about it all. You half expected Hussain to wake up the next day and find a blood-soaked Wisden in his bed.
8/10 "Come on Ramps, you know you want to"
Shane Warne to Mark Ramprakash, 2001 Warne didn't just get inside a batsman's head; he set up camp in it. He tortured England with demons that did not exist, and the way he adapted his bedroom patter to tempt Mark Ramprakash into a fatal charge down the wicket was a masterclass of mental disintegration.
9/10 "At least I'm the best player in my own family"
Jimmy Ormond to Mark Waugh, 2001 You know a sledge is good when even the opposition start laughing, as they did when England debutant Ormond reminded Mark Waugh – who had long since been nicknamed 'Afghan', because he was the forgotten Waugh - of his place vis a vis his brother Steve.
10/10 "Get ready for a broken f*****g arm"
Michael Clarke to Jimmy Anderson, 2013 The relatively shocking nature of Clarke's comment – this is cricket, after all, not Stevenage High Street at 2am – is perfect shorthand for the exhilarating hostility with which Australia overwhelmed England in the last Ashes series.
"The cricket will be tough on the field but we will certainly know there is a line you can't overstep."
England have hardly been angels themselves on the field, but it appears they are trying to adopt a more conciliatory tone – at this stage, at least.
Cook added: "The ICC meeting was very similar to those I have always had. We have responsibilities to people at the ground and people watching on television.
"We want both sides giving their all for their country. It is an honour and means so much to the players but there is that line in the sand somewhere which everyone knows you can't cross. I hope we can play to that."
During the last Ashes series, Clarke enjoyed predicting the England line-up on the eve of the Test and he did so again here, predicting the home side would start with the XI who played both matches of the drawn Investec Series against New Zealand.
Clarke said Australia had contemplated using four quick bowlers when the selectors saw conditions on Monday, but with less grass on the wicket now, it is anticipated off-spinner Nathan Lyon will keep his spot.

By IVES GALARCEP
Since his arrival as a Homegrown Player for the New England Revolution, Diego Fagundez has been dubbed a star in the making. Teammates have marveled at the youngster's skills for several seasons, but it wasn't until this year that the rest of the league found out just how special a talent he could be.
Fagundez enjoyed his breakout season in 2013, taking the league by storm with his combination of speed and technical skill. Capable of creating his own goals, and setting up teammates, Fagundez finished the season with a team-high 13 goals and seven assists to serve as the focal point of a Revs attack that helped the team go from missing the playoffs in 2012 to finishing third in the East in 2013.
Those efforts helped the 18-year-old Fagundez be voted SBI MLS Most Improved Player of the Year. An award designated to honor a player who enjoyed a career year and considerable improvement from previous seasons, the Most Improved Player award highlights the players who enjoyed breakout campaigns in 2013.
Fagundez beat out a strong field of players who reached new career heights in 2013. Here is a look at the other finalists for the award:
After struggling as a left back in previous seasons, Wallace enjoyed a stellar 2013 under new Portland Timbers head coach Caleb Porter after being moved to a left forward spot in the Timbers 4-3-3 system. Wallace finished the regular season with career highs in goals (7) and assists (6). In fact, he scored more goals in 2013 than in his previous four seasons combined (6).
When the 2013 season began, Neagle was re-acquired by the Seattle Sounders and seen as a likely bench option for Sigi Schmid's side. All he did was emerge as a regular starter for the Sounders, serving as one of the key contributors on a team beset by injuries for much of the regular season. Even after Clint Dempsey's arrival, Neagle continued to be a key factor. He finished the season with career highs in goals (8) and assists (4).
In a year of transition for Real Salt Lake, Grabavoy stepped up to pick up the slack left by the departures of Will Johnson and Fabian Espindola. Grabavoy logged career highs in goals (5), assists (5) and minutes (2688) as Javier Morales' creative partner in RSL's midfield. His movement, passing and creativity helped RSL finish with the second-most goals in the league.
What did you think of of Fagundez's season? Who did you think was the Most Improved Player in MLS in 2013?
Share your thoughts below.
How does this not go to Mike Magee?
Magee role has changed, but he has been playing at a high level for a while, so doesn't really qualify for most improved. Because he unselfishly took on the role of support player, meeting whatever need the team had and was overshadowed by high $ DFPs, perhaps he didn't get much recognition outside of LA, but his importance and ability have been recognized and appreciated by Galaxy fans. He is sorely missed.
Most Improved awards are always not glamorous.. It's like "you sucked, but you dont suck as much now" at least that's what those awards meant in my little league.. It was always "that" kid who got it.
Troll, troll, troll your boat…
This award should be given to Wondowlowski every single year.

This story was requested by AFantasticRose for the July II Challenge. It's slightly AU. Takes place after PotW, but the Doctor didn't regenerate. Rose knows about regeneration, not that it matters to this story. Oh, and they know where Jack is and visit him from time to time, so I've sorta messed up Torchwood, too, but hey, I own Doctor Who (that ALSO is in an alternate universe).
I was requested to make this 9/Rose, include a little girl from a war torn planet that they are to care for, and to have to face Jackie while dealing with said child.
It's sorta been done, so I decided to add a tiny bit of a twist.
This is two chapters long.
The Star Child
Part 1:
"I'm sorry Rose," the Doctor shouted. "There's nothing else we can do."
"It's all right!" she answered loudly. "At least we've done what we could."
He snorted and bit back a couple of swear words. "Through here," he said, more quietly now.
They were running for their lives across the plains of Rakku. Civil war had broken out between two separate religious sects over something even the Doctor couldn't fathom, and he had been trying to make peace with them, trying desperately, right up until his time sense told him to stop, that everything that happened now had to happen.
The TARDIS was just ahead. The Doctor guided Rose carefully around the smashed brick wall and through the littered corridors of what had once been the main temple of one of the two warring sects. It was time to leave. Thirty years from now, this planet would be at peace again, united by a leader who was also a pacifist according to the Doctor's memory, but until then, this was their fate.
They had just reached the inner sanctum, what was left of it, when he saw a party of four heavily cloaked people approaching. "Wait," one of them pleaded. "Please help us."
"I'm sorry," he answered, shoving Rose carefully behind him. "I've done what I could. You'll have to do the rest yourselves." He realized then that there was something truly odd about this party. There were two members of each sect in the party. It was decidedly off.
"You can do this last thing," said another. And she held out, in trembling arms, a small bundle.
The Doctor stepped forward hesitantly. "What..."
"Save the Star Child," the four commanded, and the one dropped the bundle into his startled arms. Utterly baffled now, he pushed the blanket back. Rose stepped up and stared over his arm.
"A baby," he agreed. "We can't take care of..." He looked up, but the room was empty except for him, Rose, and the TARDIS. "...a baby."
Slightly telepathic, like all Rakku, the child's thoughts of fear and confusion greeted his mind the moment he touched the little face. Instinct, blind, mortal, long-forgotten instinct had him answering the frightened thoughts with the idea of warmth and safety and comfort.
"Right," he said, completely startled at himself. "Let's go." He moved to set the baby down. The infant would be much more likely to survive in a war zone than the way his life went. He couldn't do it, he couldn't take a child with them.
"Here," Rose said. "Give her to me and you can unlock the door."
"Her?" he asked, and passed her right into Rose's arms as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Support her head," he added.
"Well, I figured a girl. The blanket's pink."
"Oh," he said, and unlocked the door.
Rose went inside, carrying the little bundle. "Good job she doesn't talk yet," Rose observed.
The Doctor grinned and shucked his leather jacket, then took the baby from Rose. "Yes, it is bigger on the inside," he said. Rose shot him a look. "What?"
"You just..." She grinned. "You're so cute."
"Ya sound like Jack," he answered.
"I don't. I sound like..." She swayed sharply.
The Doctor looked at her more closely. "Rose, why didn't you tell me you were bleeding?" he demanded.
"Am I?" she asked softly. She put a hand to the back of her head, pulled it around to look at it. "Huh, whadyaknow. I am."
Baby in one arm, Rose collapsing on the other, and the Doctor just stood there and didn't know exactly what to do.
The TARDIS helped out by manifesting a small cot right in front of him. He lowered the baby into it, then lifted Rose into his arms. He carried her through to the Med bay, stopping by the console to send the TARDIS into the relative safety of a hover in the Vortex.
And just like that, there was a baby traveling on the TARDIS.
Rose came to with the most unusual sound she had ever heard in her whole life tickling at her ears. She knew that voice, thought for sure she would be able to hear it even if she were stone deaf to every other sound in the Universe. It was the Doctor, her Doctor, and he was singing.
Well, she'd heard him sing before, but not like this. It sounded like he was singing along with the TARDIS, the ringing, chiming chords of his own musical language cascading from his lips. His voice was a smooth, rich, baritone throb, and the alien syllables sifted his accent into something scarcely distinguishable.
The Doctor sang in the shower, always, but it was usually some pop tune or some strange aria. He swore when he couldn't hit the high notes and complained that he was used to being a tenor. He wryly admitted the first time she'd ever heard it that it was one of very few things he had done for as long as he could remember.
So why was it Gallifreyan, this time?
She sat up, and her head swam and the room sparkled. The sound cut off abruptly. "Lie back down, Rose," he commanded. "C'mon, now, you'll only hurt yourself."
"Wha' happened? And what were you singing?" He helped her, his large hands gentle as he lowered her, placing an extra pillow behind her so she could sit up without any effort.
"A lullaby for our unexpected guest."
She struggled with that. "There was a war."
"And someone gave you a baby," she added. It didn't make sense. She thought she remembered him talking oh so adorably to the child, but that was definitely not him. "I dreamed that, didn't I?"
In answer, he took a few steps away, coming back with something small and decidedly pink. He laid the little bundle in her arms gently and grinned at her. "Fantastic," he pronounced softly.
Rose looked down at the squirming little person in her arms and couldn't help the idiotic grin that blossomed on her face.
"Hello, I'm the Doctor. This is my friend Rose, and the baby's a friend of ours, too."
The aliens didn't look even slightly impressed.
"Run?" Rose asked, clutching the little girl to her shoulder.
"Yeah, think so," he agreed.
"Hello, I'm the Doctor, and this is Rose."
"And the offspring?" the aliens asked, staring curiously at the child.
"Oh, she's not ours," the Doctor said.
"Run," ordered Rose.
The first few days with the baby on board passed comfortably, except for the two misadventures with people getting mixed up about what two people and a baby were supposed to be.
"Why can't we all be friends?" the Doctor asked. The baby, who was about the equivalent of a six month old human, was sleeping on his chest. Rose was staring at them in undisguised fascination. "What?" he asked.
"Nothing," she said. She sighed to herself. Honestly, she didn't even like kids, so why...
"Hello, I'm the Doctor."
"And your wife is?"
"She's not my wife."
After rescuing Rose from being nearly burnt at the stake, the Doctor decided that he'd had enough attempts at exploring for the next few days.
"I am so killing your daddy when we get home," Rose told the baby in a gentle, sweet tone.
He couldn't quite make himself answer that statement the way he should.
Telepathic alien baby, Rose reminded herself firmly as she lowered the child into the warm bath water of the small tub the TARDIS had provided for this purpose. If the Doctor was completely taken with the little girl, it was nothing on what the TARDIS seemed to think.
The baby now had a vast nursery between the Doctor's and Rose's rooms, full of more stuff than four kids her size could possibly need. The Doctor had tried - he really, really had - to say that it was a bad idea. They couldn't get attached to the little girl, had to find a proper place and give her into a loving home. That was why he refused to let Rose name her and wouldn't do it himself, either. Nevertheless, Rose could tell quite clearly that it would break his hearts when they found a place for her.
Rose was human and was coping with the child in the human manner, becoming quite motherly and attached, but she had nothing on the Doctor. Whenever the baby was in the same room with him, he treated her like another appendage, carrying her everywhere, talking to her, singing to her, telling her stories. Rose had realized, watching them fall asleep together in front of the telly last night, that the Doctor had had children before and they were gone.
He tried to pretend to be aloof when he thought Rose was watching him. Like just now, he'd asked her to bathe the baby and put her down for a nap, but she knew he'd turn up before too much longer on some pretext like asking her if she remembered to use the right shampoo on the baby's soft golden wispy hair. As if she could get it wrong. She'd had to ask for her own shampoo back this morning when she went to get a shower.
She gently shoved away the feeling of abject terror - it wasn't her feeling, after all, it was the baby's, and no baby liked being bathed until it was actually in the water. Rose thought instead, like the Doctor had taught her, about the nice feeling of being clean, and the wonderful warmth of sinking into a hot, soapy bath after a long day. The baby stilled and let Rose ease her into the water. Rose grinned a little when the baby let out a tiny giggle. She was getting the hang of this.
They all were.
The Doctor arrived in the bathroom at a dead run, due to the sounds of shrieking and baby squealing coming from inside. He pulled up short in the doorway, though, and very nearly fell over.
"Thought I sent you ta wash her, not the other way round," he said, unable to stifle the laughter completely. It bubbled up as a deep chuckle and the baby squealed again and held up her arms to be rescued. "Oh, no," he said to her. "You've got yourself into that predicament."
Rose sighed and dripped at him. "She decided I should have a bath, too, I guess."
He snagged a couple of towels from the cupboard. "C'mon, Star Child, let's get you dry so Rose can get dry, too."
"No, s'alright, Doctor... Star Child?" She took the towel from him, lifted the wiggly, slippery Star Child from the water, and wrapped her in it tightly. Then she passed him the baby, pulled her completely drenched tee off over her head, and grabbed the second towel. She draped it over her shoulders, took the baby back, and walked back into the nursery with her.
"They called her the Star Child, the people who handed her over."
"Good, then I can call her Starr," she said and laid the baby on the changing table.
"Yeah, could do," the Doctor agreed. He paced the nursery, looking like a caged leopard, while Rose diapered and powdered Starr. Then, he turned back up with a little onesie to dress her in and Rose obliged quietly, all the while feeling those blue eyes locked on her with an intense heat that had physical weight.
"What is it?" she whispered, as she lowered the yawning Starr into her bed.
"Your... your shorts are soaked, too," he said.
"A bit," she agreed, and rubbed the baby's back in soothing circles until she slept.
"Telepathic alien baby," he reminded her when she beamed with pride at this accomplishment.
"Shut it," she said.
"Nope," he answered, and came closer. "Can talk for the world, me." He snagged the ends of her towel and drew her closer. "That was a very cruel thing to do to an old man," he added.
She giggled. "Don't know any old men," she said, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Just you."
He grinned then and led her through the adjoining door to her room.
"Hello, I'm the Doctor. This is Rose, and Starr."
"We keep your family if you do not give us your power," said the aliens.
"Yeah, not happening," said Rose, noticing the devastated, infuriated look on the Doctor's face. "Run?" she asked.
"Yes, run," he agreed. But he didn't seem to have it in him to do it with as much energy as usual.
"We can't keep her," the Doctor said for probably the eight thousandth time. He was sitting in the rocking chair in the nursery, holding Starr who was getting bigger every day, and had just been singing to her when Rose walked in.
"That's true," Rose agreed.
But neither of them moved to do a thing about it.
Starr filled a need for him that Rose, whether as his friend, his companion, or his lover, couldn't quite do. She wasn't the kind of telepathic that Starr was and she was pretty sure she couldn't touch his mind like the child did.
So it was a complete surprise to her one morning when she answered a call from his room, to find out that he was asleep and had actually called her, silently, from inside his dreams.
"Hello, I'm the Doctor. This is my wife, Rose, and Starr, our daughter."
"Aren't you just precious?" cooed the alien at Starr.
"I can't believe that worked," the Doctor whispered in her ear.
"I didn't know I was your wife," she whispered back.
The look he answered that with made her wonder. She should have been thinking that they were just playing a role, or that he was losing it in his attempts not to let on how determined he was to keep the baby. Instead, she was sort of wondering when the ceremony had happened and how she'd missed it.
