Do industry innovations change the consumer or do consumer demands change the industry? That's the question when looking at how US online adults prepare their annual income tax returns. When the IRS ceased its mailings of paper forms before the 2011 tax season, approximately 15 million more consumers began filing their taxes online. But would this have happened anyway? We could argue that as media consumption, financial management, shopping transactions, and other traditional behaviors moved online, it's only natural that consumers' tax filing practices would have too.
At a subliminal level, the decision about how to file taxes speaks to one's comfort level with new technology, sensitivity to data privacy, desire for convenience, and embrace of old habits. Our Consumer Technographics® data shows a variation in how US online adults prepare their taxes: While 33% defer to professionals, 27% file their own taxes by downloading computer software, and 22% do so through a website. One in 10 of these consumers still files taxes by hand using paper forms.

This week's Customer Experience Forum was far more than just an event for customer experience (CX) professionals. It was an event for any business leader who truly cares about customers. And this includes many CIOs.
As far as I'm concerned, the best CX presentation by a guest speaker was given this morning by a former CIO, Paul Heller. Paul is now Managing Director of the Retail Investor Group at Vanguard. While his session was energetic and full of humor, it also conveyed his message about the business of delighting clients very clearly. Paul suggests we all need to get in touch with the why, how and who of our business:
Posted by Nigel Fenwick on the CIOs Blog on April 24, 2013
We all hear and read stories of terrible customer experiences; like me, you probably have had your own share of bad experiences. And social media has made it possible for these bad experiences to be shared instantly with millions of people. But in our journey through life, we also experience service that exceeds our expectations. And as we read reviews online, we're more likely to see a mixture of both good and bad experiences. For example, I recently posted a glowing review for a B&B in Bethel, ME, even though a few things about my stay would have typically caused me to deduct points. My five-star review was extremely positive because the proprietor had blown away my expectations on service, delivering an experience way beyond any I've had in a five-star hotel.
But excelling at the personal touch in a small-town B&B is far easier than doing it at scale in a multibillion-dollar business. Yet there are companies that consistently deliver great customer experiences. (My colleagues even wrote a book on them). They aren't perfect all the time, but, on average, they are better than their competitors. At Forrester, we identify these companies through our annual Customer Experience Index (CXi) research. Toward the top of the 2013 index, we find companies like Marshalls, Courtyard by Marriott, USAA, TD Bank, Southwest Airlines, Vanguard, Home Depot, Kohl's, Fidelity Investments, and FedEx.

Party paper calls for end to tall building frenzy
Vain local government officials blamed for rush to dot landscape with huge skycrapers
Related topics
The party's mouthpiece ran a full-page report yesterday that questioned the mainland's aggressive skyscraper push in recent years, attributing it to vain local government officials.
The commentary in the People's Daily came amid controversy over the planned 838-metre Sky City in Changsha, Hunan, which would be the world's tallest building once it is completed. Last week, media reported on the topping-out ceremony for the second-tallest building in the world: the 632-metre Shanghai Tower.
Meanwhile, small or medium-sized cities with small service sectors but abundant land resources are competing to build ambitious skyscrapers to secure "first high-rise" bragging rights to their region, the report said.
The competition has been so fierce some buildings, which were originally proposed to be among the tallest buildings in the world, may not even be among the top 10 when completed.
Most of the mainland's tallest buildings have received financial support from local officials. The report cited the Goldin Finance 117 building in Tianjin , which will be 597 metres tall when completed, and Nanjing's 450-metre Zifeng Tower.
Despite the building's hefty costs with little chance of developers recovering their investment, interest is still high in the projects because local governments have promised developers cheap, if not free, land in economic development zones in exchange for building there.
The buildings were the result of the ambitions of mayors, not the product of market demand, with vanity determining city skylines, the report said.
To a city's administration, building a skyscraper is an easy way to show "face". Ma Long , an architect with the Beijing Institute of Architecture Design, was quoted by the party mouthpiece as saying: "We are too eager to express ourselves, too desperate for recognition from others."
However, Professor Jiang Yong , who teaches architecture at Tsinghua University, questioned whether state media was overreacting to the projects.
"The lack of high-rises in urban centres not only results in a severe waste of land, but also increases real estate prices, due to limits on supply. If Beijing had as many skyscrapers as Hong Kong, people could spend less time commuting," Jiang said.

Role of entrepreneur gender and management style in influencing perceptions and behaviors of new recruits: Evidence from the Islamic Republic of Iran

Entrepreneurs face considerable challenges in attracting prospective recruits and managing them in the absence of established norms and traditions. This research examines how gender and management styles of entrepreneurs impact new recruits' attitudes including their cognitions, affect, and behaviors in new ventures. Results of two experimental studies conducted in the Islamic Republic of Iran demonstrate that women entrepreneurs are reacted to less negatively and considered more effective when they use directive management style. In addition, women entrepreneurs who employ directive style elicit superior performance from new recruits compared to those who rely on participative style. Management style does not appear to matter for attitudes towards men entrepreneurs. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Is it possible to file for contempt if my ex has been very wrong, or worse, lied, to get a restraining order and base our modification on?
I can prove that the allegations are incorrect, (all are for drug use- and I can show nearly a year and a half worth of tests showing I'm clean, as well as 3 police reports from when we were together, in each one, I'm the victim) and if I can figure out how to admit those tests, reports, and emails and text messages from my ex, would it make a difference?
I need to know the best way to go about admitting that evidence, and if I should also pursue contempt.
Also, would it help to make a sort of survey for my family and people who've seen me around my kids, and have each notorized, so I can admit those as well?
No. You are up against priveldge. Basically, anyone in a family law context can swear under penalty of perjury any blessed allegation they can create (sometimes out of thin air) and they have the absolute right to do that.
Police reports are hearsay in any other evidentiary context except DV hearings. Make three copies of each - one for you, one for the complaining witness, and one for the judge to see. Look at the evidence rules for DV hearings - there aren't any, and that cuts both ways. So your witness statements are fine, as well (with certain caveats that are just too complex to address on-line). And they don't need to be notarized, they need to be sworn. See the declaration form at http://www.courts.wa.gov, they have all the correct necessary language.
But don't get your hopes up regarding contempt or avoiding adequate cause. The best thing you can do is to lawyer up and have a fair fight over the allegations. Hope this helps. Elizabeth PowellAsk a similar question

After spending the last half hour on this puzzle, I could only get 8 lines. So i consulted the internet, and it turns out, it cant be solved.It is known as the Turan Brickyard Problem. The formula says this let n = the number of houses and m = the number of utilities. Then the minimum crossing number is known by the formula
Cr(n,m) = [n/2] [(n-1)/2] [m/2] [(m-1)/2] where [x] denotes the integer part of x.
So the minimum crossing number of Cr(3,3) = [1.5] [1] [1.5] [1] = 1 * 1 * 1* 1 = 1.
So they can NOT be connected without crossing.

Ashurst has scooped the lead role advising a group of 30 of the UK's largest pension schemes in a multi-million pound court case against investment management company Henderson Group.
The Henderson Action Group, advised by Ashurst and consisting of pension schemes including those of the BBC, Bupa and Tesco, filed a claim against two of the company's subsidiaries yesterday (6 December).
The case, which could see Henderson potentially pay out millions of pounds in damages, centres around the firm's 2006 takeover of construction firm John Laing and an alleged breach of mandate.
The claimants, who all invested in Henderson's PFI Secondary Fund, allege that the takeover should never have gone through as they had originally been told that they were backing a fund that would only invest in low-risk assets that were inflation-proofed.
In 2009, the fund had lost more than two-thirds of its value, largely due to the pension deficit in the John Laing scheme.
The claimants also allege that Henderson's investment in John Laing did not, as a matter of construction, comply with the Private Placement Memorandum or with the Revised Partnership Agreement as proposed by Henderson.
In a statement Henderson Group chief executive Andrew Formica said: "The proceedings involve alleged breach of mandate and misrepresentation. All the claimants are sophisticated investors. We have considered these complaints carefully. We are confident we have no legal liability to investors in this fund. We will vigorously defend these proceedings."

This Fan-Edited Ghostbusters Trailer Fixes Several Problems From the Official One

Is It Enough?
Are you sufficiently investing in continuous training of seasoned employees?
Our Top Shops benchmarking surveys ask about the amount of formal training shops offer employees each year. Data from the 2012 survey revealed that 45 percent of shops provided less than eight hours of training per employee, 33 percent provided eight to 20 hours, 13 percent provided 21 to 40 hours, and only 9 percent provided more than 40 hours.
These numbers pale in comparison to a manufacturer in Minneapolis that requires that all employees—from president to new hire—complete at least 100 hours of job-related training per year. Learn why.

Obama envoy coming to Mideast
Published: Saturday, January 24, 2009 at 8:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 24, 2009 at 8:22 p.m.
JERUSALEM -- President Barack Obama's special envoy to the Middle East will come to Israel Wednesday for talks on keeping alive a fragile Gaza cease-fire and reviving Mideast negotiations, an Israeli foreign ministry official said Saturday.
It is the new administration's first direct move into Mideast peace efforts.
George J. Mitchell will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and senior Israeli officials, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because Washington has not officially announced the trip.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton introduced Mitchell in his new role Thursday. His appointment is seen as signaling a renewed push under the Obama administration for a resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Mitchell will also visit Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad at their headquarters in the West Bank, the official said.
The official said Mitchell will discuss restarting Israeli-Palestinian peace talks after Israel's three-week offensive in the Gaza Strip, and ways to impose an effective arms blockade against the Hamas militants who rule Gaza and have been firing rockets into Israel for years.
The arms embargo and the opening of the blockaded territory's borders are key to sustaining separate cease-fires by Israel and Hamas.
In Washington, the White House and State Department declined to comment, but diplomats familiar with Mitchell's travel plans said he would visit Israel and the West Bank with possible stops in Egypt and Jordan on a tour that could last eight to 10 days.
His exact itinerary is not yet settled, the diplomats said, but he will be working to secure an Israel-Hamas cease-fire, improve the humanitarian situation for Gazans and gauge prospects for continuing the peace process.
The diplomats also spoke on condition of anonymity because the trip had not been formally announced.
Mitchell, a retired Senate majority leader, was a key player in Northern Ireland peace talks in the 1990s and later led an international commission to investigate violence in the Middle East. His report, issued in 2001, called for a freeze on Israeli settlements in the West Bank and a Palestinian crackdown on terrorism.

Please replace book description with the following: All six foot two of Jake Southern stepped onto the gravel covered road atop the levee, giving him a view of the winding river and the summer haze-covered landscape of the Mississippi Delta. Jake had come home again. Home to what? He had left twenty-five years ago the town and people who had helped shape his life. Now he was summoned back. What would he discover there or uncover about himself and the people he had loved? Would he find them the same or find all his memories were lies? Jake would return to find the world along the Mississippi river different from what he had left as a young man. Was it different or was he? Murder, greed, betrayal, love and honor were what he found in coming home. And through all of this, he would find what he had been searching for all these years. David Wright says, "life really does begin at 50." That's when he began writing "stories" for family members, and through their encouragement River Rock was born. David paints pictures with words. Love of his native Mississippi Delta brought this novel to life. His talent as a Mississippi story teller, who can't help embellishing just a bit, is evident in his unforgettable characters, rich history and settings of the Delta. David spent his career in the trucking industry; the last years as a national spokesman for that industry.

Smoked Venison Jerky Nutrition Facts
"I am simple. I appreciate simple things. Laughter. Love. Ambivalence. Deep-sea crab fishing. Semi-competitive ball tickling, etc. In some circles I might be called boring. In others, uninspiring. But those circles suck. Im ravenously awesome and unbelievably self-aggrandizing. I have no less than five fully verifiable sources that can confirm this. Notarized proof is available upon written request and for a nominal fee. Im stalwart, respectful, dedicated, kind to lesser beings, and all the other amazingly awful things that serve to worsen the human condition. And because of these things and the fact that I stumbled upon your well-written website whilst cruising for jerky means I will try your frigging jerky. I will try it and I will enjoy it. Or I will punch you in the neck, zebra-style."

Smoked Venison Jerky
Every man remembers his first encounter with a big buck. The shivering cold, lining up that 8-pointer, and then finally taking it down. Saul's experience was a little different. His involved some trickery, a poorly-ventilated barn and a nice, toasty fire. But the memories are just as sweet.
Our Smoked Venison Jerky is thick cut and tender, in small pieces for easy snacking. It is sweeter, smokier and juicier than the beef jerky varieties and is one of our most popular products.

The San Antonio Spurs (23-8), winners of four games in a row, will face the Dallas Mavericks (12-18) tonight in Dallas as these two Texas rivals square off for the second time this season. The Spurs won the first meeting against Dallas 129-91 in San Antonio. The Spurs set a franchise record, hitting 20 three pointers while setting a season-high 17 steals. The Spurs scored a season-high 100 points through three quarters and five Spurs scored in double digits, led by Danny Green's career-high 25 points and tied a career-high 7 three's. The Spurs are coming off a 122-116 win over the Rockets in San Antonio. The Spurs were led by the duo of Tony Parker and Tim Duncan with the two scoring 31 and 30 points respectively. Houston was led by James Harden who finished with 33 points and 7 assists. The Mavericks a 106-85 loss to the Nuggets in Dallas. O.J. Mayo (15), Chris Kaman (12), Darren Collison (10), Vince Carter (10) and Brandan Wright (10) all scored in double figures for Dallas in the loss. And as the Spurs look for their third five-game winning streak of the season, while the Mavs look to end their five-game losing streak, here are five things to watch for during tonight's game: • The Spurs are averaging 96.3 points on 43.2 percent shooting on the road this season. • The Mavs are averaging 41.6 bench points per game this season and are tied with the Spurs for third in the league in bench scoring. • The Mavs have allowed 109.6 during its current five-game losing streak. • The Mavs are 11-4 this season when they shoot at least 45 percent from the field. • The Mavs averaging 16.9 fast break points per game this season, which ranks sixth in the NBA.

According to newspaper reports at the time, lottery winner Hoare was jailed for life on May 17, 1989.
Mr Justice Rougier told him: "You have been found guilty on overwhelming evidence and your previous record shows you are a menace to women.
"It seems from the psychiatric reports that I have read that there is no psychiatric illness.
"Paramount in my mind is that every moment you are at liberty some woman is at risk and I believe it to be my duty to protect, so far as I am able, women from the risk you represent.
"This is the last in a long line of appalling offences committed against women and the only sentence I can pass is one of imprisonment for life."
Hoare showed no emotion as he left the dock.
Defending Hoare Timothy Bubb said in mitigation at Leeds Crown Court that Hoare clearly suffered from a personality disorder which could not be treated.
Iorworth Ivor Hoare, who gave his address as Seacroft Gate, Seacroft, Leeds, was convicted of attempting to rape a retired female schoolteacher aged 59 in Roundhay Park, Leeds, on February 22, 1988.
He denied the charge in court and claimed he was not the man who committed the offence.
Speaking to the press afterwards Detective Constable Philip Bailles said Hoare had been convicted of attempted rape at Leeds in June 1973 and was jailed for three years.
In November 1975 at Exeter he received four years for attempted rape.
In September 1978 at Leeds he was given four years for indecent assault and assault.
And on June 15, 1983 he was sentenced to seven years at Leeds Crown Court for rape and indecent assault, and was released on November 13, 1987.

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Trae Waynes had one up-and-down night against the Green Bay Packers.
He looked good early on, playing with physicality and getting under receivers' skins a little bit. Things took a turn for the worse for him, though, when quarterback Aaron Rodgers started targeting him more often.
Rodgers was able to complete multiple passes to whichever receiver Waynes was covering, and the young cornerback was also called for pass interference and holding penalties. Things did not seem to be going his way for a majority of the night, but he was able to pull things together when he needed to most and come down with an interception with 1:50 left in the game.
It was a play that helped propel his team to a 17-14 victory over the Packers and his teammates weren't all that surprised that he was able to bounce back so well.
"I don't know how tough a night it was," said veteran linebacker Chad Greenway. "Yeah, they threw a bunch of balls (his way) but as far as looking at the coverage, there were a couple of calls that were against him that were questionable and you look at how he's playing and the personnel he's playing against and the quarterback he's playing against - the pressure (Rodgers) puts on your defensive backs in coverage and staying in coverage and the back-shoulder fades, it's as hard as it is in the game that I've seen. So we can get on them all we want, but it's a young guy making a lot of great plays and maybe the biggest play at the end of the game. I remember thinking throughout the game that you kind of see him out there going to that side and there's a penalty or a knocked down pass, but then you knew he was going to make a play because he was right there."
A lot of the penalties that Waynes drew in Sunday's game were because of the physicality he was playing with throughout the game, but he never let the calls change his approach. He continued to challenge the receivers and play them tough, which is what led to him being able to come down with the game-winning interception.
He said that the coaches want the defensive backs to be physical with the receivers and that is why he never let the calls deter him or make him hesitant in what he was doing.
"That's one thing that Coach (Jerry) Gray said, 'Keep being aggressive and keep playing, sometimes you're going to get calls your way,'" Waynes said. "Xavier (Rhodes) mentioned it during the game. He had a game like that last year or a couple of years ago. You just keep playing."
The words of his coaches and teammates weren't the only thing that kept Waynes going, though. He didn't get down on himself because a couple of things went against him. He is confident in his abilities to make plays on the field and all of his teammates knew he was going to be there for them in the end.
"He's a competitor and he's not going to get flustered," Harrison Smith said of Waynes. "He's got a good demeanor about him. I was just saying, 'Hey, just keep doing you, we've got you and we'll be fine. Just keep playing your technique.' That's exactly what he did and that's why he made that play.
Waynes ended the night with four tackles, one pass breakup and one interception. It was not always the prettiest of performances, but he was able to make a play at the game's most crucial moment.

Fun @ Gilroy Gardens
Gilroy Gardens is a local park that puts on a show for the holidays - we've gone for the past few years with Gran and Grandpa (my husband's parents) and have always had a great time.
This year was no different, it was actually quite warm, so we all started peeling off coats and heavy sweaters, and the boys romped around the park freely. In fact, I might say, a little too freely.
I am not sure what the finances are like for Gilroy Gardens, but it felt like we had the park to ourselves. We didn't wait in a single line, were usually the only ones on the rides, and had the train to ourselves. Twice. Sure there were other people around but not the crowds of years past. A few of the rides were not operating, either. I just hope that we have years of Gilroy Gardens to enjoy!

NHS hospitals get £11 in value for every £1 invested in volunteers
Every £1 invested in volunteering in the NHS yields services worth £11 in return, estimates a new report by The King's Fund.
Volunteering in acute trusts in England: Understanding the scale and impact is based on the first national survey of volunteering in hospitals. The survey found that there are nearly 500 volunteers in the average acute trust, equating to more than 78,000 volunteers in hospitals across England who contribute more than 13 million hours per year. Based on current NHS pay rates, this translates to a return of £11 for every £1 invested in the training and management of volunteers.
The report, sponsored by the Department of Health, highlights the benefits volunteers bring to the health service, with survey respondents demonstrating the critical role they play in improving patient experience. Volunteers fulfil a variety of different roles, from befriending to collecting survey data, supporting patients to eat well and supporting the running of mock hospital inspections.
In some hospitals, volunteers are seen as an integral part of the care team, but it is clear that few trusts are formally measuring the impact of volunteers at present. Furthermore, many hospitals are not benefiting from volunteers as much as they could do; there is considerable variation too in the number of volunteers - some reported as few as 35 volunteers, while others had 1,300 – and the number of volunteers is not necessarily linked to the size of the trust.
However, volunteering is clearly a growth area; 87 per cent of respondents expected the number of volunteers to increase over the next three years, in most cases by more than 25 per cent. No one said that they expected it to decrease. The profile of volunteers is also changing; two-thirds of survey respondents said that new volunteers now tend to be younger than five years ago, and more than half said that there is more diversity in terms of ethnicity.
The report highlights areas where more research is needed to understand the opportunities available so that the benefits of volunteering can be better understood and adopted more widely. In particular, there is clearly a need to include impact on patient experience and quality of care when measuring the value of volunteering. Many trusts surveyed were measuring impact in some way already, but it is less clear how this information is used to improve planning, evaluation and service changes.
Amy Galea, Senior Researcher at The King's Fund and lead author of the report, said: 'Volunteering has a critical role to play in improving services for patients. It supports many national aspirations such as improving the experience of patients, building stronger relationships between services and communities and creating social value.
'Our survey shows that volunteers are being used in increasingly imaginative ways which are valued highly by patients, staff and the public. The challenge now is for the NHS to develop in more detail its understanding of the impact that volunteers have – this should help to enable all hospitals to harness the potential of volunteering.'

In March 2013, The King's Fund published the report Volunteering in health and care: Securing a sustainable future. This considered the future of volunteering in the context of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and wider system changes. It highlighted the lack of data at the local level on volunteering in the NHS. Following this report, the Department of Health funded The King's Fund to carry out a survey focusing on the scale and value of volunteering in NHS acute trusts.
All 166 acute trusts in England were invited to take part in the survey. 99 responses were collected from mid-May to mid-August 2013, a response rate of 60 per cent.
The survey found an average of 471 volunteers in surveyed acute trusts, which would translate to more than 78,000 volunteers in acute trusts across the whole of England. This does not include the contribution of volunteers in mental health trusts, general practice and other settings. It also does not consider people who give their time in a governance capacity in acute trusts.
Of 91 survey respondents, 66 per cent said that the profile of volunteers now is younger compared to five years ago. Of 89 who responded to the question about diversity, 56 per cent said there is more diversity in terms of ethnicity compared to five years ago.
The report includes an in-depth look at how volunteering schemes work at three case study sites. These were University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre, Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and Pennine Acute Hospital NHS Trust.
On the same day as the report, a new initiative launched by Nesta will support up to 15 hospitals to support innovative approaches to volunteering, and to measure the impact volunteers have on patients' experience. The programme fund (of up to £1.5m) is run by Nesta and funded by the Innovation Fund within the Cabinet Office's Centre for Social Action.

I just don't know what to say about Donald Trump anymore. He has been disgusting for a long time, even before he decided to run for President, but he has gone off the rails big time.
Last night, Donald had a chance to show his "human" side at the Al Smith Foundation Charity Dinner. He failed. For the first time, I actually heard loud boos. At one point, a man was heard yelling out "finish".
For those of you who may not know what this dinner is all about, it is to raise money for children in New York City. It is named after Alfred E Smith who was the first Presidential nominee who was also Catholic.
The dinner is an annual event, it is acts like a roast more than a serious speech meeting. The speakers make jokes about themselves and others in the room. Every four years both Presidential candidates are invited to attend the dinner. In the past, this was handled extremely well. Mitt Romney and Barak Obama had a lot of fun and kept it in the spirit of the event.
Trump took the mic first. As is his usual manner, he started off well. He had a few good jokes including one about his wife's speech at the Republican Convention. Then, as is his wont, he lost it again.
No matter where you put him, he cannot help but make a stump speech. That is exactly what he did last night. The last half of his speech was nothing more than vicious attacks at Clinton. At one point saying "she is finally out in public pretending not to hate Catholics."
As you can imagine, that did not go over well with the mainly Catholic audience. Boos were raining down on Trump for the rest of the speech and the mood in the room went from humorous to downright anger. At one point even Cardinal Dolan looked very perturbed and stopped listening to him by speaking with Hillary Clinton.
I really don't understand what Trump's problem is. I was wondering if he had any sense of humor at all, and this morning I am still not sure. Yes, he delivered some good jokes, but he couldn't help himself from self-destructing again.
Last night the foundation raised about $6 million for their charity. That is a record. I am sure that having Clinton and Trump on stage together had a lot to do with that. And, I am very happy that amount of money was raised.
When it was all over, Al Smith V said that Trump went too far and that he crossed the line. He said Trump basically took the air out of the room with his rants. That is a real shame.
This dinner is supposed to be a time for everyone to "let their hair down" and simply have some fun. In election years it allows the American People to see the "softer" and more "human" side of our candidates.
Trump doesn't seem to understand that. He didn't seem to understand his audience. He didn't seem to realize just what the dinner is all about. Or, more aptly, he probably doesn't care about any of that. He only cares about being the center of attention, good or bad.
For the first time, I heard a speaker announce how much money was raised at the dinner. He was basically bragging that he helped raise that money and they wouldn't have gotten there if he hadn't attended. Although that may be true, it is still inappropriate.
The good news is that none of the money will go to the Trump Foundation. So we know it will be used for the purpose it is intended.

In this image released by ABC, actress Courteney Cox of ABC's "Cougar Town" appears on "Good Morning America," on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012. The series makes its third season premiere Tuesday at 8:30p.m. EST on the ABC Television Network. (AP Photo/ABC, Lou Rocco)
NEW YORK (AP) — Courteney Cox likes being part of a team. She loved being part of an ensemble on "Friends" and feels the same way about the direction her show "Cougar Town" has taken on ABC.
It debuted with Cox's character, Jules, as a 40-something divorcee who dated younger men and quickly moved away from that to focus on her relationship with her friends.
"I think all successful shows are ensembles," Cox said Tuesday in an interview with co-star Josh Hopkins. "It seems like you have to be supported by somebody. You can't just come out and do a one-man show."
Cox, Hopkins and the rest of the "Cougar Town" cast have been on a whirlwind promotional tour for the show's third season, which premieres Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. ET after a nine-month hiatus.
The show wasn't on the network's fall schedule but snagged a time slot after "Work It," a comedy about guys in drags, was canceled.
Cast members have been attending viewing parties with fans, making TV appearances and tweeting about the show's return, all in an attempt to inspire viewers to tune in.
"It's been really important for us to get out and support the show, and we have heartily," Hopkins says.
Cox says some fans have been confused about the show's future, mistakenly thinking it had been canceled.
"We have to remind people that it's coming back on," Cox says. "And we have to let people know that it's not a show about cougars. It's a show about adult friendships."
In the series, Jules spends most of her time palling around and drinking red wine with her group of friends, including her ex-husband, Bobby (played by Brian Van Holt.) No one works much, which has been poked fun at in the show. "Cougar Town" also rewards its viewers with inside jokes about the cast and callback humor in the writing.
Everything the characters make fun of Jules for is something that co-creator and executive producer and writer Bill Lawrence has made fun of Cox for in real life, she says.
This season, she also channeled her self-professed obsessive compulsiveness into directing two episodes of the series.
"She's such a good director," Hopkins says. "It was so nice to have a shorthand. Some directors worry about offending you. She would just come up and say, 'No. Do it like this.'"
"Let me just put it this way," Cox says. "In my episodes, he shines!"

The Master Proves Mysterious and Cruel
Mr. Somebody, who was at times apt to be far too girlish for his own good, yelped quite loudly. He was quite quickly after thankful for his new master's foresight and wisdom, for an invisible but sturdy hand had blocked the possible array of complications arriving from people nearby waking up and wondering why their longtime aquantiance was sitting outside in his boxer shorts and yelping. He was not so thankful when a bright flash temporarily blinded him an he was forced up to his feet by the invisible hands, or when he was promptly pushed down again and landed on an unexpectedly cold and hard surface. After all, he couldn't have moved... right? In response to this, he was punched by one of the hands, drawing the crimson taste of fresh blood to his mouth. Mr. Somebody bit back a cry, and the voice in his head spoke again:
Mr. Somebody, I would think that the new sub- commander of his lordship's majestic army would have more restraint in a combat zone. All in time, I suppose. To speed such a great process up, however, orders have been made to cut your rations and put you on double training.
He had training?
Yes, you have training- and for your disloyal thoughts of this being some dream, 10 lashes and a bed of stone for you- we must make a man out of the one who will make one of thousands, do you not see? His excellency has given me power to read your thoughts, and I will- every time you think of that old wreck that was your life before now, I will take your rations and dignity. You, in other words, will benefit greatly from thinking only of the task at hand.
That is, purging you of good.

Hi all, after training for and running a 10k on November 18th last year in 51m.28s
(which i was very pleased with) I soon entered another, unfortunately I have been unable to run since due to various issues (not fitness)
My race number came through today and I've realised its two weeks tomorrow!
I thought I had another month for some reason.
will i have lost all the fitness gained from training for the last one or should I go for it?
I don't want to injure myself or do anything stupid having not run for 9 weeks
your thoughts greatly appreciated.
Agree 100% with Millsy. It is only a couple of months ago since you ran well. Get out and do a few nice slow miles to get back into it... I'm sure you'll be fine.
Do a few runs before the race.I wouldn't like to go flat out in a race and pull something in this weather

Booking 2018 Weddings and Events
Weddings, celebrations and events are more than just a party. It is the biggest day of a person's live. It is the celebration of a birthday, anniversary or welcoming a new member to the family. It is raising thousands of dollars for a great cause.
Great weddings and events go beyond the food being served and entertainment provided. They go to the core of the couple or organization. It is my philosophy that the best weddings and events are when the couple and their relationship or the business and its purpose are center stage.
No two events should ever be the same because no couple or company is the same. Nor should these events be stressful. Events are a time to celebrate and enjoy. To ensure this happens, Quintessential Events will take the guesswork out of planning, and add creativity and organization in, creating a truly one-of-a-kind event.

Murray can overcome Federer factor, says Cahill
Cahill says Murray has been galvanised by Olympic gold and has his best chance yet of grand slam success over the Swiss.
Melbourne: On paper, Roger Federer should have little to fear from Andy Murray in Friday's Australian Open semi-final, holding a 3-0 record over the Scot in grand slams. But respected coach Darren Cahill says Murray has been galvanised by Olympic gold and has his best chance yet of grand slam success over the Swiss.
Australian Cahill, who helped Lleyton Hewitt and Andre Agassi reach world No. 1, said Murray had shown massive improvement over the past 12 months. His relationship with coach Ivan Lendl has borne fruit on both the playing and mental side of the game, and the Scot's win over Federer in the London Olympics final went some way to healing the wounds of Wimbledon suffered a month earlier.
"I think Andy has made great progress over the last 12 months, more of an understanding over what he needs to get done and how to get it done, in the big moments," said Cahill. "Again, playing Roger is a completely different thing and you can't put your finger on what is eventually going to help him get over that hurdle in a slam. I think he's 0-3 against him in majors.
"It's a factor, I'm not sure how big a factor that is," Cahill added in an interview on thetennisspace.com. While Murray, who won his maiden slam at the US Open last year, holds an overall 10-9 record over Federer, the 17-times grand slam champion typically saves something special for the game's biggest stage.
"I think the Olympics went some way to erasing that but in the end Roger is incredibly difficult to beat in majors and until you do it there's always going to be that small element of doubt in your mind," he added. "But it looks like Andy's prepared as well as he can, he's playing exceptionally well, so if he's going to do it, it's probably as good a time as any."
While some saw Federer's decision to skip traditional warm-up events before the Australian Open as a sign the 31-year-old is starting to feel the effects of age on his fitness, the Swiss has rarely looked out of breath throughout the tournament. Taken beyond three sets just once, by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Wednesday's quarter-final, Federer was likely to show more aggression against the Scot on Friday, said Cahill.
"I think he will try to change the way he played at the Olympics, he added. "How he feels physically will maybe determine how aggressively he comes out at the start but I think you'll see someone that's going to take the game to Andy." Murray had lost four grand slam finals, and six semi-finals, before his win over Novak Djokovic in last year's US Open, and Cahill said the time spent analysing tactics and his game with Lendl was paying dividends.
"It's the stuff that goes on behind closed doors, the talking about big matches about what you were thinking in those periods, talking about strategy and talking about planning for the future," Cahill said of Lendl's influence. "And no one's privy to that. I think that's where Andy's making the biggest steps forward.
"And I see a certain amount of belief. It's not that it wasn't there before but there was always that little bit of doubt in the big moment. Once he got to the semi-finals you could see that he was just a little intimidated at that particular stage. "He doesn't seem like that anymore."

I'm in the market for an E46 Diesel. Probably a 330d, or maybe a 320d. Preferrably an M Sport version, so generally looking for as much info as I can get while I'm at work (ROV Support/Cable laying ship).
I currently own a 2000 Evo 6 GSR, and a 2002 Toyota Corolla that the wife uses. I also have a 306 GLX that my brother in law currently has, as I have nowhere to park it
Some pics of the Evo.
While I do love the Evo, it's time is passed for me. I'm a father of 2, and all I use it for it to ferry my kids about at 17mpg
Time to get a more economical car. That's just a fun to drive as the Evo.
Looking forward to getting lots of useful info on my chosen two possible cars.

Romney tries to Solyndraize Tesla Motors, calling it a 'loser'
In tonight's Presidential debate it wasn't surprising that Romney, the Republican candidate, would drag that Solyndra story out of the woodwork again. What was surprising was for him to name a list of supposedly failed green technology loans by the Obama Administration, which for some reason included Tesla. It makes one wonder how he could expect to get away with such an outrageous claim because it is so obviously wrong.
Solyndra was obviously a failed Dept of Energy loan, and has been made into an embarrassment for the Obama Administration. Additionally, Solyndra has become a tool for some pundits to tarnish other programs, for example to call something "another Solyndra". That company did crash and burn in a spectacular way. The loan program Romney named during the debate provided $16.1 billion in loan guarantees, and as of May had a default rate of about 1.7 percent, according to congressional testimony.
After mentioning Solyndra, Romney went on to name a list of other companies in an obvious attempt to amplify the supposed failures of the Obama Administration green technology strategy. This list included Ener1, Fisker and Tesla Motors, all of which are in the automotive industry.
Ener1 did go into bankruptcy in January, which might make one think it was a failure. In that case the bankruptcy was entirely understandable, because Ener1's investment in Think failed, and was done in cooperation with Ener1's investors, and Ener1 has since emerged from bankruptcy. Whether Ener1 is a failure is a matter of debate, but it did not go into outright collapse like Solyndra did.
Fisker has been having a rough year, between quality problems, and that the Dept of Energy froze the loans to Fisker, which threw a spanner wrench into Fisker's manufacturing plans in Delaware. But in May the company issued a business update saying everything was fine, and they've been able to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in financing. To top it off, even though Fisker had repeated delays in bringing the Karma plug-in hybrid luxury sedan to market, they have delivered well over a thousand cars to paying customers. This is hardly a picture of failure.
