Despite a second-half that's seen him revert into something of a pumpkin (16.2 IP, 4.32 ERA, .302 BAA), Angels reliever Brendan Donnelly has still managed to put together one of the most auspicious beginnings to a career in recent memory. As of Wednesday evening, Donnelly had lowered his season ERA to a microscopic 1.39, and his career ERA to an equally impressive 1.73--the lowest in baseball history for a pitcher with a minimum of 100 innings. Check it out:
Lowest Career ERA, Minimum 100 IP
Pitcher ERA Innings
1. Brendan Donnelly 1.73 113.1 *
2. Ed Walsh 1.82 2965.0
3. Addie Joss 1.89 2327.1
4. Jack Pfiester 2.02 1067.2
5. Joe Wood 2.03 1437.1
6. Three Finger Brown 2.06 3172.1
7. Chick Brandom 2.08 108.1
8. Buttons Briggs 2.08 445.1
9. Rube Waddell 2.13 2868.1
10. Christy Mathewson 2.13 4780.1
Not surprisingly, when you take the threshold to 1950, the gap between Donnelly and the next closest pitcher gets even larger.
Lowest Career ERA Since 1950, Minimum 100 IP
Pitcher ERA Innings
1. Brendan Donnelly 1.73 113.1 *
2. Bryan Harvey 2.49 387.0
3. Jeff Calhoun 2.51 150.2
4. Larry Bradford 2.51 104.0
5. Hoyt Wilhelm 2.52 2253.0
6. Mariano Rivera 2.60 579.0
7. Pedro Martinez 2.62 1892.0
8. Cy Acosta 2.65 187.0
9. Tom Henke 2.67 789.2
10. Dave Smith 2.67 809.1
Despite the presence of such Hall-of-Famers and soon-to-be Hall-of-Famers as Hoyt Wilhelm and Pedro Martinez, there are actually a number pitchers on this list who are comparable to Donnelly. Bryan Harvey, after all, was also a member of the Halos before becoming an inaugural Marlin. Larry Bradford, Cy Acosta, and Jeff Calhoun were relievers who didn't get regular work until they were in their late-20s, only to prove immediately effective. And ditto Tom Henke--the only other pitcher from this shortened list to grab a World Series ring, as Donnelly did in 2002.
In fact, of all the pitchers in the top 10 since 1950, it's Henke's career path that I can see Donnelly most closely emulating--lots of saves, and regular employment until his late-30s. Current Angels closer Troy Percival isn't getting any younger or less expensive, after all. If Anaheim allows him to leave after 2004, it would seem only natural that Donnelly would get an opportunity to become the closer (and thus a nice, tidy contract to go with it).
And ultimately, that's what's most amusing about Brendan Donnelly. Like Chris Hammond before him, here is a reliever who was literally picked out of the scrap heap, only to turn into one of the most effective hurlers in the game. The lesson organizations learn from this? Is it that relievers are fungible, and that you should rarely pay one more than the minimum because there are likely a dozen others just like him, waiting to put up similar numbers for significantly less money? No. The lesson organizations learn is that pitchers like Chris Hammond are great, and that they should be paid millions of dollars to ply their trade.
And you know what? I've got a feeling that that's just fine with Brendan Donnelly.
Chicago Cubs
As feared, Baker is working his young arms like Simon Legree, waging a tight race with the Expos to have the most abused pitching staff in baseball according to PAP. (Last years winner? Baker's Giants.) Although Mark Prior have been spectacular, there is some concern surrounding erstwhile staff ace Kerry Wood. After a brilliant 130-pitch two-hit shutout on July 19, he slumped to 1-4, 7.31 in the subsequent six starts. Last night he threw seven shutout innings, but also 125 pitches. It need not be said how important Wood is to the Cubs playoff hopes.
The rookies that Baker needed to coddle are no longer a threat: Hee Seop Choi is in Iowa, and Bobby Hill is in Nashville, both losing jobs to wily veterans: Eric Karros and Mark Grudzielanek. Likely hearing some of the criticism that he favored more experienced players, Baker has spent much of the summer hauling in more veterans: Jose Hernandez (since departed), Kenny Lofton, Doug Glanville, and, most recently, Randall Simon and Tony Womack. Simon and Aramis Ramirez are the Cubs' only position players, including those on the bench, who have not yet turned 30.
Do you ever get the idea that Dusty is just toying with us? Its as if he wants to show how great of a manager he is by deliberately fielding mediocre players. Rumor has it that Baker has been trying to acquire Gerald Williams, Mike Lum and Chico Salmon.

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'WWE Games' started by CAWEvolution, Nov 26, 2012.
Cool, i'm glad that they're releasing them earlier then usual so that I can use Ryback, Tensai, and Drew Mcintyre.
That is sweet news.
Definitely great news. I cant wait for that pack to be released.
Having Ryback on the game as an official member of the roster will be great, even though I've been using a CAW version already.
Not sure how I will use him yet. Will be used but not as a main eventer yet.
Cool. Looking forward to having the Chosen one in the game again, as well as having Yoshi's rolling elbow for my Kassius Ohno CAW.
The way I have used him in my Universe is by starting him off by beating jobbers (Primo, Epico, Otunga, etc.) and then working his way up slowly, like how he should've in the WWE. However, I decided to have Lesnar interfere in one of Ryback's matches and make him suffer a Draw (He attacked both Ryback and Primo). The following weeks since have actually gone quite well, with Lesnar coming down to the ring to try and distract Ryback from winning, but then Ryback attacks Lesnar and goes on to destroy the jobber. This will all build up to a PPV match, which Ryback will win by breaking the ring, and technically winning the match. From there he'll work his way up towards the championship.
Way eariler than I expexted, I can't wait to play as Tensai.
Sounds good but he won't be a super heavyweight so he cant break the ring
This is using my CAW. After the Lesnar feud, I will use his DLC character, as the game already has track of their feud in my Universe.
Whoo hoo!!
This is pretty awesome news. Thanks for posting and sharing this info.
This definitely helps me as I will finally be able to release my created story and move onto its sequel
The Championship Pack is being release along with the DLC superstars, right?
Yes, the championships are going to be released at the same time.
Pleasant surprise.
Looking forward to busting out Ministry Taker.
I wish we were getting the moves pack first but I will use some of those belts anyways
Based on this, I expect the final DLC pack to be released early in January (maybe as early as January 8th).
Good news. Thanks
Cool to see you having Lesnar and Ryback fued. What I was planning is having Ryback and Lesnar work together and destroy many superstars under orders from Vince McMahon. They will take out Triple H, Undertaker, Jericho, which will have them return under their AE counterparts. From there, my storyline will slowly bring back many of the AE wrestlers, ushering the return of the AE.
Was just debating about a team of Ryback and Lesnar too.
Sounds like great news. I've been looking forward to this and I think I'll finally begin using current superstars in Universe Mode once I take advantage of the DLC.
awesome if correct can't wait to use that DLC.
Ryback being released as DLC huh? Now that Brad Maddox CAW I downloaded can get some use.
I may look for a Maddox CAW for fodder for him and others.
Best DLC news I've heard all day!
ok im ready to kick punks ass
Good to know, Ill probably get fan axxess so Ill be getting Pack 1 & 2 around the same time
First thing Im going to do. Have Ryback def Jack Swagger to become US champion and have him dominate (only lose the title in a triple threat match)
Good way to do it.
Yeah wanted to wait til after I move (this week)
Good since the only way it's gonna happen is on the game since he can't beat Punk in the ring. FEED PUNK MORE .
Hes going to use Yoshi Tatsu to do it...
Awesome. I'm almost more pumped for the championship pack though lol
Drew + Natalya + Championship pack =
Add in AJ for me
Cool, I've kept the spot open for his heel turn and joining The Industry to feud with the Corporation and basically make life miserable for everyone on Heat (Smackdown)
The only thing I have to look forward to in that DLC.
The championship pack is great, but I'd rather have the superstars and moves pack from the 3rd DLC pack released first, this way round is...
is quite frankly, Unacceptable!
Can't wait I want ryback, aj and natalya so much.
I'd take AJ ad natalya but hey if you into dudes knock yourself out.
Awesome, was thinking we'd have to wait until xmas or something. Kinda bummed that I still have to wait for cesaro and sandow :/
Interesting, it's just Ministry Undertaker i'll be getting. But at least it's something i'll get one good use out of.
Im going to have to utilize Ministry Taker some how in my created story. Just have to figure out how
Undertaker "Ministry of Darkness" - Undertaker has just lost the WHC and 'disappeared' from Universe. Might have him return in this form.
Tensai - Hmm, might hold off on debuting him. He'll be a dominent heel but I have no room for him atm.
Ryback - Will come in on a winning streak. No title feuds for a while.
Drew McIntyre - Need more jobbers. In any other game, Drew would have a ton of title reigns but this game doesn't have enough jobbers
Yoshi Tatsu - Last year, Yoshi got a great push. Just like Drew did, but again, I need more jobbers.
AJ Lee - YES! Won't become champ for a while but will use with the superstars.
Natalya - Lita's having a year long reign until Trish returns and wins it. Natalya will vs Lita at the next 2 PPVs. Losing, for now.

Parksville curling bonspiel success
The Parksville Curling Club was rock'n over the weekend as 31 teams — the most ever — from all over the Island and Lower Mainland took to the ice last weekend for the 2012 Thrifty Foods Men's Bonspiel.
According to bonspiel chair John Milroy, Sunday's awards ceremony kicked off with Judy Hawkes presenting the Bob Hawkes Memorial Trophy for overall champion, won by the Schmidt rink from Comox over the Craig rink from Kerry Park.
B event winner was Parksville's Kereluk rink after a local battle with Dixon.
C event had the Conlin rink from QB coming up short against the Pisto rink from Comox, and in the D final the Rampton rink from Vancouver edged out the Zinkiew rink from Comox.
Defending champions, the Harris rink from Comox, were knocked out in the quarter finals by the Armstrong rink from Parksville.
"Well I can't walk, Bill can't talk, Larry can't hear and Greg throws with a stick, but somehow we get the job done," Parksville skip Darwin Armstrong was heard commenting about his team after.
Ice technician Tim Kottsieper "received many complements for the superb ice conditions. Our volunteers rallied to ensure a good time was had by all. Special thanks go out to our title sponsor, Thrifty Foods Parksville, Mark Hoffman of M&F Masonry, Bekins Moving & Storage and Jim Hoffman of Coast Realty."

Something to Cook: Derby Eggs
Preparation for the biggest horse race of the year starts early. You'll need something to hold yourself through all the juleps, not to mention the hats. For yourself or the party, we'd recommend starting with a whole lot of eggs and waffles — enough to serve sixteen, in fact, from one of Louisville's own acclaimed chefs, Edward Lee of 610 Magnolia (you may have seen him on the last season of Top Chef), and published in our guide to huge food. We're not really sure how that goes with juleps, though, so maybe break out a bottle or two of champagne. Hey, it's the Derby.

Mila Kunis attended the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of 'Third Person' held at The Elgin in Toronto, Canada yesterday evening.
The actress stunned wearing a white Burberry Prorsum Resort 2014 crochet dress with a plunging neckline and a skirt which has been lined since the version which was presented in the look book.
I have never seen Mila as one who really enjoys fashion, but both her makeup and styling, which includes an amazing pair of emerald drop earrings and Christian Louboutin 'So Kate' pewter python pumps, perfect this summery white frock.

THE 1992 CAMPAIGN: The Republicans; Bush Criticizes Clinton as Hard On Car Industry
By RICHARD L. BERKE,
Published: August 26, 1992
CANTON, Mich., Aug. 25— President Bush ventured into the backyard of the American automobile industry today to depict his Democratic rivals as environmental extremists whose policies would throw hundreds of thousands of Michigan residents out of work.
Under rain clouds at an outdoor rally in this township that is home to both laid off General Motors workers and affluent executives, Mr. Bush strongly criticized Gov. Bill Clinton's support of a proposal to raise automobile fuel efficiency standards to 40 miles a gallon by the turn of the century from the current 27.5. He also contended that the Governor had started with a bad environmental record in Arkansas and then moved too far in the other direction.
"He's gone all the way over from that lousy record now to becoming bright green," Mr. Bush told thousands of cheering supporters at the Canton Township Heritage Park west of Detroit. "He's turned that bright, and if Clinton has his way, Michigan auto workers are going to be turning green with illness."
Citing figures from a motor vehicle industry group, Mr. Bush said that in Michigan alone, "40,000 workers would go from the assembly line to the unemployment line if we go from those ridiculous standards." Going After Gore Book
Acknowledging that he does not usually single out Senator Al Gore of Tennessee, Mr. Clinton's running mate, Mr. Bush said he could not help himself today. While Mr. Clinton has praised Mr. Gore's best selling book, "Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit," Mr. Bush recited passages from it that he said were distressing.
Ridiculing "this famous book now that Governor Clinton talks about," the President went on: "On page 325 of the book, he makes an interesting comparison. He says that the automobile industry -- and I quote right here, quotation, 'poses a mortal threat to the security of every nation, that is more deadly than that of any military enemy we're ever again likely to confront.' That is Mr. Clinton's running mate talking about the auto industry that means so much to our country."
Still mocking Mr. Gore's book, Mr. Bush then said: "And one page later, he calls for the 'elimination of the internal combustion engine.' What kind of people are we dealing with here?"
In a telephone interview from Ohio, where he was campaigning, Mr. Gore chuckled when told that the President was reciting from his book.
"This is simply one more effort by the self-proclaimed environmental President to divert attention from his total economic and environmental failure," he said. "What the auto industry needs is not political posturing but a strong economy and money in the pockets of consumers who can then purchase new cars and trucks."
Mr. Gore also disputed Mr. Bush's figures about jobs that would be lost under the Democrats' proposals, saying there have been 250,000 jobs lost under the stewardship of the Bush Administration, with another 600,000 lost in related industries.
In another effort to portray the Democratic ticket as extremist, the President alluded to the bus trips Mr. Clinton and Mr. Gore have taken around the country. "So when that Clinton-Gore bus goes off the left side of the highway onto the shoulder," he said, "we've got to guard against that, too."
With Bush campaign aides describing Michigan as a crucial battleground in November, Mr. Bush found a receptive site for his warnings about tighter fuel standards. The Congressional district that includes Canton has 25 plants of the Big Three auto manufacturers, and Michigan has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, 9.4 percent in July.
Mr. Bush flew into the nearby Willow Run Airport in Ypsilanti, and his motorcade rushed by a sprawling plant that General Motors recently announced it would shut down, possibly next summer, leaving an estimated 4,000 workers without jobs.
The President came to Michigan for his offensive on the environment after what he billed as a nonpolitical stop in Chicago this morning at a convention of the American Legion.
At that appearance, his aides passed out literature critical of Mr. Clinton's record regarding the Vietnam-era draft, while Mr. Bush stayed above the fray.
In a break from his pattern since the Republican Convention last week, in which he has attacked members of Congress at virtually every stop, the President praised a Democratic Congressman, Representative G. V. (Sonny) Montgomery, a friend of his who has long been close to veterans.
But he was not kind to Democrats here. As supporters wielded brooms with signs reading "Clean the House!" and opponents waved pink slips, Mr. Bush took on the Congressman here, Representative William D. Ford, chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, for opposing his education proposals.
"I'm a little tired of Congressmen that talk one way in Michigan and vote different in Washington," the President said, his voice rising in anger. "I'll give you an example. One of those Democratic leaders that blocked this new proposal in education is named Congressman Ford, Bill Ford. He has stood against school choice and just about every education reform I have put forward. And what's worse, Governor of Arkansas agrees with him."
Turning to international affairs, Mr. Bush pressed on: "You want to stand up to a Baghdad Bully like Saddam Hussein? Governor Clinton waffled. Congressman Ford said, 'no way.' I say 'yes.' "
In another attack on the Democrats, Mary Matalin, the deputy campaign manager, distributed to reporters a four-page "counter-rebuttal on Clinton's tax-and-fee record." The paper was a defense of criticism of the Bush campaign's list of 128 purported state tax increases under Governor Clinton. It said, among other things, that it was "grossly dishonest" for the Governor to call Arkansas a low-tax state.

Visionary With Red-Hot Coins (1936-2016)

The Poetry of Ulalume González de León

I discovered Mexican poet Ulalume González de León in the fall of 1982 as one of thirty-odd students in Frances Mayes's very first graduate workshop on the prose poem at San Francisco State. Our text, Michael Benedikt's The Prose Poem: An International Anthology, featured a long prose poem in fifteen parts, "Anatomy of Love." I was instantly enthralled by the language: a richly erotic imagery blending anatomical and scientific vocabulary in an unconventional syntax. read more

She Asked For Light
A Conversation with Susan Terris
by Rebecca Foust
PART ONE: "What's On the Loom"
I interviewed Susan Terris at her San Francisco home, a handsome gray stucco house in a quiet residential area off busy California Street, not far from the Golden Gate Bridge. The house is a dark and cool respite from an unseasonably warm spring. Terris's office, located in the basement, is lined with bookshelves and holds a metal three-drawer filing cabinet and a very large desk facing a wall filled to the ceiling with a bulletin board neatly push-pinned with rows of papers. Two windows admit light, but the only view is of a big Douglas fir in her small yard. Terris says the room is good for concentration but that she, catlike, follows the light in the house and moves from room-to-room to do her work. read more

The trick to looking stylish in one is picking the right band for your tresses. "On thin hair (like Wilde's), a narrow band adds fullness," says Francis. "A wider band helps course hair (like Richie's) maintain shape."
Above all, warns Francis, "keep hair soft and simple. Hair spray makes the look stiff and too retro!"
Wilde, who is constantly one of Us' celebrity hair crushes, tells Us Weekly, "I also like to wear headbands with a messy bun."

Many are in long term relationships and might describe their other half as a partner or a common-law husband or wife.
But, legally there is no such thing as a common law relationship, say campaigners from the organisation Advicenow.
And many couples are living in blissful ignorance of how few rights they have over property, inheritance and children, when relationships break down or partners die.
Dawn Williams and Andy Balman have been living together for 15 years. They have three children - but got a shock when they decided to make a will.
Andy discovered he had no rights over the children, even though they had his surname: Dawn had full control, because they'd never married.
Dawn and Andy still don't plan to get married - but they would like to see the law changed, to give unmarried couples more rights
Couples who live together may feel married, but without that piece of paper, they just don't have the same rights, says Advicenow.
The report found that many couples were wrong on a number of issues about cohabiting:
In fact, the Queen is more likely to inherit than the partner.
One in six couples cohabit - this is equal to 25% of British couples aged between 16 and 59.
The Advicenow website spells out the complete legal position and the difference between the rights of un-married, and married couples living together.
But un-married couples face more complications if one partner dies or the relationship breaks up.
The Advicenow website will tackle different issues each month including How to make a 'Living Together Agreement', who has parental responsibility, and how to how to appoint a guardian.

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!
My husband died four years ago. I never took the house through probate because of a dispute with the condo association. It has since been settled. I recently received my escrow statement saying that my flood insurance (which has never expired) has gone from $321 to $1759.13.
I have never been late on the payment in fact I am ahead .At the beginning of last year I received a check from chase escrow for $298.60 which I never cash. Are there any legal ramifications for not reporting my husband's death to the bank in a timely manner? And where do I go from here. If I cannot resolve this matter my mortgage will go up $300 a month which I cannot afford.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you.
Was the property just in your husband's name or was it in both of your names?
If it was just his name, then yes you need to go through probate. The good news is that since your husband passed away over 2 years ago, you can do a summary administration which is a simplified probate process.
If it was in both of your names, you should not need to do a probate. You should be able to just record an Affidavit of Continuous Marriage along with your husband's death certificate in the public records of the county where the property is located.
You need to meet with an attorney who practices probate law in the county where the property is located.
But rest assure, it should not be too painful of a process for you.
Best of Luck!
They will most likely talk to you once you have been appointed as the Personal Representative of his estate and the Judge signs Letters of Administration. You should consult a probate attorney to determine the procedure to do this.Ask a similar question
You don't say how the property was titled. It is also unclear whether you think the statement is saying that the insurance premium increased, or that the bank is looking to recover premiums it paid for you. You should consult with an attorney on this, more in depth than an Avvo posting.
There is no substitute for the professional advice of an attorney who knows your case and represents you. My post is not, and may not be relied on as, legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Best wishes for a just and expeditious resolution.Ask a similar question
I agree that the next step for you would be to set up a consultation with a probate attorney in your area. As my colleague mentioned, you can probate the estate using summary administration, which is quicker and more affordable, because your husband has been deceased for over two years. Good luck.

Pallavi Chandran, though a Malayali by birth, is more famous for her roles in Hindi Television serials. She made her Mollywood entry recently in Mammootty starred movie Silence. She played his wife in the film. Neither the movie nor the role played by her got noticed. Now, she is back again.
This time, Pallavi is seen along with none other than Mohanlal. Yes, she plays a key role in the upcoming Mohanlal flick Mr Fraud. Mia George is also seen in the movie. The role essayed by Pallavi in the film is not yet revealed. But, the actress has high expectation on her role in Mr Fraud, says close sources.
Saikumar, Siddique, Vijay Babu, Vijayakumar, Sreeraman, Devan and Sathar are others who are seen in prominent roles in Mr Fraud. Mohanlal gets a new look in this movie. Mr Fraud is produced by AV Anoop under the banner of AVA Productions.
Meanwhile, the first look poster of the movie was out recently and the movie is already getting viral in all the social pages. Also, the first teaser of the film, which shows Mohanlal in his new look, is already on chartbusters.
Hope that Mr Fraud will give a good hype for the actress, who is riding much expectations in Mollywood.

UTA Funded Programs:
Interdisciplinary Research Program (IRP)
The Interdisciplinary Research Program is intended to advance interdisciplinary research at UTA in alignment with the four guiding themes of the Strategic Plan: Health and the Human Condition, Sustainable Urban Communities, Global Environmental Impact and Data-Driven Discovery.
As these guiding themes are inherently interdisciplinary, this program fosters the necessary work across campus to improve our ability to effectively compete for major extramural research grant funding on these topics.
As such, the IRP gives preference to proposals that span interdisciplinary work across groups that don't typically collaborate. A requirement of IRP award recipients is submission of at least one interdisciplinary research proposal to an extramural funding source by the end of the award period.
See more at: http://www.uta.edu/president/initiatives/irp.php
Strategic Research Appointments for Faculty (SRAF)
The Strategic Research Appointments for Faculty is a program to fund faculty appointments designed to significantly advance our research efforts under the UTA Strategic Plan themes Health and the Human Condition, Sustainable Urban Communities, Global Environmental Impact and Data-Driven Discovery. The Strategic Research Appointments for Faculty (SRAF) program will enable faculty members to spend time at another institution or institutions to conduct research while expanding their knowledge and expertise and building key partnerships. As the ability to effectively compete for major research programs often benefits significantly from, or may even require partnerships with other institutions, the SRAF program creates an important new way to help faculty develop research collaborations for UTA while carrying out their research and developing new research proposals.

Ford Everest
From Ford Wiki
|Ford Everest second generation Everest
|Automotive industry
|AutoAlliance Thailand
|Also called
|Ford Endeavour
|Car classification
|Mid-size Sport utility vehicle
|Car body style
|5-door SUV
|Automobile layout

Ford Ranger
The Ford Everest (model code U268) is a midsize SUV sold in Asia, and the Bahamas. The Everest is based on the local (Mazda-based) Mazda Fighter Pickup truck platform. The SUV is also sold as the Ford Endeavour in India.
The truck has three-rows of seating, Rear wheel drive or Four wheel drive, and 2.5 L Diesel or 2.6 L Petrol engines. It rides on a 2860 mm (112.6 in) wheelbase. The Everest was introduced in late March 2003 and is built at the AutoAlliance Thailand plant, and as Complete knock down kits in other countries (India, Malaysia, Vietnam).
In November 2006, Ford announced a redesigned Everest based on the new Ford Ranger (J97U), including Duratorq diesel engines and two different drivetrains: 4x2 for 2.5 litre 143 hp (107 kW) models, 4x4 for 3.0 litre 156 hp (116 kW) models. In addition, the redesign featured the new 5-speed automatic transmission with BorgWarner transfer case, and the new Active-Shift-on-the-Fly (4x4 only) for the first time.
This vehicle has had its origins from the Ford Ranger which is built for the south-east Asian markets at the Ford-Mazda JV plant at the Thai port city of Rayong. Its underpinnings remain very much that of a pick-up truck while its engine is a Mazda derived unit used for its low cost of manufacture coupled with the requirements of these markets in terms of emission norms, fuel efficiency and most of all - affordability. A Hiroshima based design team worked to develop the Endeavour aka Everest and give it the qualities desired by the developing markets.
Ironically, another SUV based on the Mazda Proceed was produced in the 1980s, and 1990s as the Proceed Marvie. It was a 4 door SUV, but in similar fashion to the original Toyota Hilux Surf/Toyota 4Runner of the cargo area having a removable top.

The sporting year has ended with the Springboks and Proteas taking on the best the world can offer at rugby and cricket, and they performed admirably.
At the same time there have been mutterings about the racial composition of our two most successful national sides.
ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe criticised the selection of Patrick Lambie ahead of Elton Jantjies for the Test match against Ireland.
"The situation is the coaches select the basic minimum black players in the team and relax thereafter and overlook good players," he was reported as saying on the SuperSport website.
Whether it's fair to criticise a coach, whose job is on the line, for going with the players he believes can win the game for him, is the big question.
Heyneke Meyer never had a problem with choosing Bryan Habana, or JP Pietersen or Tendai Mtawarira, so it was wrong of Mantashe to say "the new coach is not keen on putting black players in the team, even those that have proven that they are the best".
Sport in this country is, however, still divided and unequal and there are undoubtedly those who are left out in the cold through no fault of their own.
The only way that we will turn out national teams that are demographically representative, and capable of beating the best, is to fix all that is wrong with our sporting structures.
It was with precisely that in mind that, this time last year, a National Sports and Recreation Indaba was held at Gallagher Estate. A declaration was published that encapsulated the problem and offered solutions, to be incorporated in an updated National Sports and Recreation Plan (NSRP).
The declaration recognises the importance of developing sportspeople from an early age, and of the role that schools must play in that process.
It says, for example: "Sustainable talent identification, nurturing and development programmes are required to contribute to holistically transforming the sports and recreation sector."
Among the practical implications coming out of the indaba was a declaration by the minister that "sport will be reintroduced to schools" and that physical education would become part of the school curriculum again.
A memorandum of understanding was signed between the departments of Basic Education and Sport and Recreation and it was announced that Wednesdays would become school sport day.
A schools league programme was launched by the ministers in March this year and there was a call for schools to register to participate in athletics, netball, football, cricket, rugby, gymnastics, volleyball, basketball and chess.
That close to 14 000 schools registered showed that there was a desperate need for something like this. The programme culminates this week with the SA Schools National Championships in Pretoria.
However, there hasn't been much acknowledgement that school sport has been going on at many schools all the time, and at a very high standard.
It is from those schools that most of the players in the successful Springbok and Protea teams mentioned above have come.
The re-introduction of sport to schools where it had all but disappeared should be seen as a necessary first step in the continuum referred to in the Sports Indaba declaration.
At our top sporting schools there will be multiple teams playing in each fixture.
For example, when King Edward played Jeppe earlier this year, there were 21 rugby teams and 13 hockey teams in action on the day.
It takes time, money, and dedicated teachers to make that happen, and it's part of a long-standing tradition. And it's out of that big base of players that schools like those eventually unearth the special talents that go on to play provincial and international sport.
It's highly unlikely that league competitions involving one team per school would have the same success.
Rugby and cricket are the major sports played at the private and former model C schools. Those are the better-resourced schools.
The national cricket and rugby federations play a huge role in the talent identification process followed in those codes. They attract sponsorship and stage interprovincial tournaments at various age levels at which the top players are identified and put into talented player programmes.
But the selection process for the provincial teams, and their coaching and management, is down to the teachers who spend hours of their own time, without pay, to ensure that the best players from their regions are put forward to be recognised.
Then the teams and their management give up their school holidays to attend the tournaments.
The best players of that particular year will all be in one place at one time, which makes it an ideal setting to see who is making progress and the unions and universities are always there to cast an eye over them.
Soccer, our most popular sport, follows a different model. They too have sponsored national tournaments in each age group, but the teams participating are the individual champion schools from each province. There is no provincial selection, so countless talented players are left at home.
The professional teams send scouts to those tournaments and they hope to attract a few players to their ranks. For those who don't get the nod, it's the end of the road.
So why doesn't soccer follow the successful cricket and rugby model? First, soccer is not the main activity at the schools that typically provide the provincial rugby and cricket players.
So the many talented players participating in the competitions organised between those schools are not part of the plan as far as ensuring a better football future is concerned.
I've been told that "interprovincial competition is not in the DNA of football". Soccer is a club sport around the world and the tribal nature of the game will be lost if representative teams are chosen.
I understand that, but it doesn't make for effective talent identification and it may explain the poor performance of our national football teams.
The news last week that Safa CEO Robin Peterson will head a new football development agency that will have access to Fifa World Cup millions is encouraging. Here's hoping that he realises that future success has to be based on an effective development structure starting off in the schools.
If we are serious about transforming sport, the provision of facilities, equipment, coaching and leadership at under-resourced schools has to become a priority. And someone has to have the political will to tell the teachers there to roll up their sleeves and start delivering.
Build the base of available players, and adopt a model that makes it possible to identify and grow the best of them. Then we can start looking at non-sporting reasons for why players of colour are not being selected for some of our national teams.

Monthly benefits under a contribution plan are based on how much is put into an individual retirement account, but the benefits are portable, meaning an employee can take that money with them if they leave public service.Kirner estimated his proposal would save $30 million in the last half of the two-year budget cycle because the state's contribution rate would be lower. He also said it would help reduce the Public Employee Retirement System's $11.2 billion unfunded liability.

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans
Our health supplements are made from natural ingredients. If you are taking medication, have a long term health problem or are pregnant, consult your doctor before use.
Chillies may also help in weight loss by speeding up the metabolism.
After eating hot capsicum peppers people tend to perspire, this is a sign that their metabolism is increasing and that food will be dealt with more efficiently.
SlimKick™ is made from patented ingredients and has been in development for many years - and is finally available on the UK market.
Research has shown that the spiciness in peppers and chillies can increase the metabolism by raising your body's natural heat. The active chemical in peppers can directly induce thermogenesis, the process by which cells convert energy into heat.
By increasing your body's natural fat-burning ability, your body is able to process and use more calories daily, even without exercise!
Overeating is one of the biggest reasons why you may be overweight. Controlling portions isn't always easy, especially if you don't prepare them yourself, buy pre-portioned sized foods or eat processed foods on the go. By suppressing the appetite with SlimKick™, you will find that you'll be satisfied with smaller meal portions and get fuller much quicker. Cutting out snacks and cravings in between meals will also occur as you'll be thinking about food less, so you'll be losing weight without even noticing.
Sometimes it's not what you eat or how much – it could be your metabolism to blame. How does your skinny friend eat such huge amounts of food all the time, but never seem to put on any weight? This can be difficult to understand and can seem unfair at times. The truth is, it's all down to your sluggish metabolism. Do you find that you put weight on quickly, even if you only overindulge occasionally? Then your metabolism is in need of a kick.
SlimKick™ can help to boost your metabolism through the power of peppers and its unique herbal ingredients, such as green tea. Green tea is a popular weight-loss supplement, especially in Asia, where people are noticeably slimmer even when much of the local foods are fried. By boosting your metabolism above its base rate you'll be burning more calories than usual. Everyone knows that if you burn more calories than you consume, then quick weight-loss will soon follow.
Finding motivation to exercise can be difficult if you're usually tired and sluggish, or perhaps have a busy day and don't find the time. When your energy levels increase, you'll automatically be much more motivated to move about and burn calories. SlimKick™ contains herbal energy boosters to help you get motivated and active, reducing symptoms of fatigue.
It is recommended to eat a medium calorie breakfast with SlimKick™, a medium calorie lunch and a low calorie dinner for best results. This product is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet, nor is it designed to replace meals. By combining this product with a healthy diet you will achieve the results you desire.

Meet Alexis Neiers, An L.A. Party Girl Turned "Bling Ring" Burglar And Reality Star
Meet Alexis Neiers, the quintessential L.A. party kid: Her mom is a former Playboy Playmate, her dad was the director of photography on "Friends" and she lives on a pretty street in Westlake Village with her mom and a party girl pal, 20-year-old Tess Taylor, a Playboy Cyber Girl. Neiers and Taylor hit up L.A. night life hot spots so much that E! offered the girls a reality show, "Pretty Wild," airing this March.
If things had gone differently for Neiers, "Pretty Wild" could have set her on a course to become the next Paris Hilton. But this is where the story gets weird: Neiers and friends are actually "the bling ring," a group of 18- and 19-year-old burglars who Los Angeles police have linked to multiple burglaries of celebrities' homes, including Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson, Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox, Audrina Patridge, and Orlando Bloom. Now, Vanity Fair reports, "Pretty Wild" is not so much about the L.A. party scene as it is following Neiers' seems-to-be-destined path to jail."The bling ring" kids, who were busted by the LAPD this summer, allegedly include Nick Prugo, 19; Rachel Lee, 19; Diana Tamayo, 19; Courtney Ames, 19; Roy Lopez, Jr., 27; and possibly several others. According to VF, the kids were accused of stealing $130,000 in clothes and jewelry from both Lohan and Bilson, for example. When cops arrived at Neiers' home with a search warrant, they found a Marc Jacobs handbag allegedly belonging to Bilson and a Chanel necklace allegedly belonging to Lohan. Yet Neiers insisted to Vanity Fair, "I have receipts for everything."
According to VF, "the bling ring" didn't start off burglarizing celebs. Their first break-in was at the Woodland Hills (CA) home of a boy who Prugo knew would be out of town. At that first burglary, Prugo and Lee allegedly found a box with $8,000 in cash under a bed. They split the money in half and treated themselves to a Rodeo Drive shopping spree the next day. The kids used to steal credit cards and cash from unlocked cars in their neighborhoods — Mercedes, Bentleys, etc. — and use the money to go shopping the next day, Prugo told VF. Unsurprisingly, all these robberies also supported at least one drug habit: Prugo admits he developed a cocaine addiction, which he claims to have kicked.
Eventually, "the bling ring" turned on to celebrities. In October 2008, they chose Paris Hilton as their first victim, Prugo told VF, because they figured she was "dumb." He added, "Like, who would leave a door unlocked? Who would leave a lot of money lying around?" Not surprisingly, at Hilton's Hollywood Hills home, the burglars discovered a key under the mat; inside, Lee allegedly stole a dress and some bras, while the others allegedly stole a bottle of vodka and cash. Hilton apparently never reported that first burglary, so "the bling ring" returned. Eventually, in December 2008, Lopez was allegedly caught with almost $2 million worth of Hilton's jewelry and a Louis Vuitton tote.
No doubt, "Pretty Wild" will make for compelling reality TV — but really, all the kids and all their reasons for getting involved in this alleged crime ring are fascinating. Lee was apparently a big fan of the fashions on "Gossip Girl" and "The Hills"; some kids in "the bling ring" even expressed interest in becoming designers themselves and attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in L.A., Lauren Conrad's (sort of) alma mater. Are they wannabes? Never-beens-and-never-will-bes? Parasites? Maybe a little bit of each, maybe all of the above.
But I'd say the most damning analysis of the "bling ring" came from LAPD Officer Brett Goodkin, the lead investigator on the case, who told VF: "It may be a stretch, but is wanting to wear somebody's clothes that different from wanting to wrap yourself up in their skin, like that guy in The Silence of the Lambs"?

Baylor-West Va. notebook

QB dismisses
Heisman talk
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Geno Smith's monster game Saturday likely will provide a Heisman Trophy candidacy boost heading into a game at Texas this week.
Despite blistering Baylor for 656 passing yards and eight TDs, the West Virginia QB said he's not concerned with that.
"I could care less about the Heisman Trophy," Smith said. "The biggest thing for us is that we won the game. We're 4-0, but now we have to put those behind us and focus on Texas."

Norfolk provides such a rural idyll that it's hard to feel anything other than relaxed when visiting this charming county. With its diversity of scenery from the fens to the broads and with coastline aplenty there are beautiful vistas wherever you look.
Such charming scenery also boasts charming towns and villages, whether on the coast or in the countryside. It also has some rather grand places to boot, Holkham Hall and the Royal residence of Sandringham to name but a few.
A holiday in Norfolk is sure to offer you the opportunity to escape it all and leave you well and truly recuperated before heading home.
Norfolk is a truly excellent location whether you want a fun, interesting or relaxing family holiday. In fact why not have all three!
The landscape is diverse and there is a wealth of natural wonders to explore, yet with it being relatively flat it is an excellent location for walking and cycling for families and this is a healthy and fun way of exploring. There are several unique landscapes to discover in Norfolk; the coast, fens, Broads and the Brecks, as well as a multitude of historic villages and towns amongst it all.
The Norfolk coastline is truly breath-taking; from Hunstanton in the north west with its majestic cliffs, to Brancaster Bay with its huge swathes of sand and magnificent skies making it worth hanging around for sunset. Then there are the wonderful seaside resorts too; head to pretty Cromer, where its famous crab surely has to be on the menu, and of course there's the fun family resort of Great Yarmouth with amusements and activities aplenty. The coast hosts plenty of nature and is particularly well known for its bird-life, so for any budding naturalist it has to be the perfect location. In particular there's Holkham National Nature Reserve with its pinewoods, dunes and saltmarsh. You can take a boat trip out to see the seals and visit the Sea Life Centre Sanctuary at Hunstanton. If you prefer to get more active and try out something new then why not have a go at windsurfing, land-boarding, sailing or water-skiing, it's all on offer on the Norfolk coast.
Even inland there's plenty of fun to be had splashing around. The Norfolk Broads are a truly unique network of rivers and lakes and are easily explored by boat, or you could take to two wheels and see the sites on your bikes. In the countryside too, there are some lovely villages and market towns worth a visit and you can also be sure you're never too far from a good pub! A particular highlight includes Wymondham in the south of the county; this beautiful ancient town also has a Benedictine Abbey and is a great place to explore some history. And if it's history you're after then visit King's Lynn and Norwich. King's Lynn with its stunning quayside, minster and medieval old town just oozes maritime history and will certainly keep you well occupied. Norwich is the only city in the county and offers some great shopping opportunities in some truly individual shops. Another ancient town is Thetford and with its nearby forest it offers more fun and activities for all the family. With cycle hire, walks and tree top adventures with Go Ape there's a lot of outdoor fun on offer!

Justice League's Aquaman, Jason Momoa, would "love" to play Kratos in a God of War movie
Aug 10, 2017 | 4 Comments
It's hard to get more iconic or classic than the original Castlevania. This is the game that started it all for the franchise. If you remember this game from the 80's, good on you. If you're a fan of the more recent titles and have always wondered where the series started… what better time than now? As of today, Castlevania is purchasable on the Nintendo Wii U Virtual Console.
Do you have what it takes to stick it Dracula for the sake of the Belmonts? Like many of the classics, this task won't come easy. Don't fret, in the original Castlevania you don't have to worry about horrible nights for curses. How I hated that… Check out the trailer below and go make a little purchase.

Our family had a first-time-ever experience of winning the opportunity to acquire tickets to Wednesday's practice round at the 2013 Masters Tournament!
What an adventure! We met in Atlanta and spent a few days touring parts of Georgia and South Carolina. At noon April 8, while enjoying a sidewalk lunch on your Broad Street, I admitted to the other three family members that I couldn't remember getting tickets, and this event surely was too large for everyone to approach a will-call window. We found the Augusta Visitor Center in the downtown history museum, and a true angel, Toni Seals-Johnson, took us under her wing, called the Masters office, confirmed our identities and that we truly had tickets purchased. On Wednesday, we walked into a full day of splendor and oohs and ahs at the Augusta National Golf Club.
Your entire city and area offered world-class hospitality. You bet we're hoping to return – soon and often. Thanks for the memories.

Souths hooker Issac Luke's judiciary problems have continued after being charged with contrary conduct involving referee Jason Robinson in Saturday night's Charity Shield.
Luke, who was returning from a two-man ban for a controversial leg twist tackle on England's Rangi Chase in the Four Nations tournament, is facing a one-match ban after it was alleged he pushed Robinson in the 18-12 defeat at the hands of St George Illawarra.
Luke ran into the back of Robinson as he chased down a clearing kick in the 31st minute.
Luke was not one of three Souths players placed on report in the Charity Shield, but may be the only player suspended. The only other charge out of that game was issued to Eddy Pettybourne, who will escape suspension for a high tackle.
Luke's disciplinary record has been a major talking point in recent months, not only given his questionable tackling technique but also comments that he was trying to break Chase's leg. That two-match suspension came after he was cautioned in an earlier match against Australia for a "cannonball" tackle on prop David Shillington.
The latest charge will come as a blow to the Rabbitohs, who lost prop Luke Burgess for three months with a broken foot in Saturday night's encounter at ANZ Stadium.
Brisbane's Petero Civoniceva was also charged with a grade-three high tackle after his hit on Melbourne's Ryan Hinchcliffe in Hobart, and faces a ban of between one and two matches.

Radiant Messi too hot again in sub-zero Moscow
Barcelona beat Spartak 0-3 and sealed qualification from group. Messi's 79th and 80th goals in 2012 put him only five away from Müller's record.
Barcelona completed their qualifying from the group stages of the Champions League with a 0-3 win that was as easy as the teams they have faced in the initial stages of the competition. That said, all the talk will inevitably be centred on Messi, and his historic charge to shatter Gerd Müller's 85 goals-in-a-year record. The Argentinean scored a brace tonight to march onto 80. Messi robs the limelight even when the team plays magnificently together, as they did tonight. Their line up was close to their perfect 11 (only lacking Puyol) and they only struggled a little, right at the start. That hiccup over they strolled it, firstly demonstrating that the names of Xavi-Fàbregas-Iniesta are utterly compatible before applauding their little emperor. The real challenges for the 2011 Champions will come later.
It took Barça a quarter of an hour to tame the ball in the Luzhniki stadium. The hosing down right before the match, and the artificial surface put their precision to the test. On the plus side, Spartak made their job easier with their game plan. Emery renounced a Celtic-style catenaccio and, although they ceded the initiative to Barcelona, their orders were to push further up the pitch than they did in the Camp Nou, and stop every counterattack. The Russians arrived in the box with four or five players, but Kallstrom and Kombarov didn't take advantage of a, once again, misfiring Barcelona defence. Spartak didn't take their chances; Barcelona were like a well timed watch when they got theirs.
Alves got back those good old feelings with an excellent goal from outside the box to make it 0-1 in the 17th minute, and Messi, who had never scored in Russia unlike the other 13 countries he's visited on his Champions travels, also scored. He made it 0-2 then 0-3 and in doing so equalled a 100 year old record: Vivian Woodward (England and Chelsea) scored 25 international goals in 1909. The Argentinean is doing something quite monstrous.
Vilanova once again put the Xavi, Fàbregas, Iniesta triangle together, paying no heed to the theory that says they are incompatible. This negative idea collapsed after half an hour and Iniesta also provided 15 seconds of genius that set the social networks ablaze as he skipped around Spartak players near the corner flag to send Barcelona off at half time with a sweet taste in the mouth.
The second half started with Iniesta and Cesc linking up marvellously but Barcelona soon took their foot off the gas, and Spartak decided not to take the suicidal route in order to avoid a thrashing. Messi kept painting beautiful patterns on the artificial turf, and gave up his hat-trick gifting a chance to Iniesta, who missed. That aside the second half was mostly a waste of everybody's time, though Vilanova gave a prize of 10 precious minutes to Deulofeu. Barça still have a rickety defence, but they are hungry to attack. And no-one deserves the name Cannibal like Messi.

A man who pleaded guilty in Anoka County District Court to a felony theft by swindle charge after being accused of bilking a St. Francis couple out of $52,000 has been put on probation for 10 years.
At a sentencing hearing May 19, Robert Lee Thompson, 28, the court dismissed five other felony charges and gave him credit for 31 days spent in jail, but imposed a $3,300. A decision on restitution was reserved.
Probation conditions include undergoing a psychological evaluation and treatment, submitting a DNA sample, random urinalysis and breath testing, no contract with the victims and no use of mood-altering drugs or alcohol.
According to the complaint, the incidents occurred between Jan. 1, 2009 and July 16, 2013 when Thompson had power of attorney over the couple because the husband had medical issues.
In late June 2013, St. Francis Police officers, responding to a residence on a report of theft and unauthorized use of a credit card, were told by the wife that Thompson had used their credit card to make purchases without their consent and she had given him $12,000 to facilitate a silent partnership with the owner of a restaurant in St. Francis, telling them would receive residuals once the business made a profit.
But police found there was no silent partnership agreement with the restaurant owner involving either the couple or Thompson, who admitted he had used the couple's credit card without their permission and that he did deceive them when he made up the story about the business investment.
He told police that he had only swindled $1,000 from the couple, using it for himself, and he was also responsible for using the credit card without permission for a total amount of $1,000.
One of the couple's sons contacted police Aug. 8, 2013, stating that Thompson had persuaded his mother to pay a $40,000 fine to the FBI for video piracy, according to the complaint.
The couple's bank confirmed that they had just closed on a loan of $40,000 and documents showed that it was to pay a fine for copying movies. A cashier's check was written to Thompson for $20,000 and the other check was placed in the couple's bank account, which the woman withdrew in cash in amounts of $5,000 until the money was gone.
Police contacted the FBI, who confirmed that the couple had never been investigated, nor does it send out letters demanding money.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
can you take a picture of them so I can have a look? There are many ways to upload pictures to this site, but this one works well:
Save your picture on your computer, someplace easy to find it such as your desktop.
Go to www.tinypic.com
Upload your picture to the site tinypic.com by browsing for it as directed.
Once you do that it gives you a bunch of links you can use, one of which says "direct link for layouts" It is important to use this box. It is the forth one down from the top of the page.
Copy the link inside this box and then paste it into your justanswer dialog box and send it to your expert.
this is the link for ***** *****'s eye with the tiny pimples
That is a very good picture. Those are called milia.
They are very common and are caused when dead skin cells get caught in a "pocket" instead of normally sloughing off.
They look like you could scrape them off, but they don't come off. Trying to remove them yourself can lead to scaring. I suggest that you see a dermatologist if they are bothering you.
here is an excellent webpage that discusses this condition:
I see you are typing.....
And, now, the obligatory word from our sponsors: :o)
I hope that this information was helpful for you. Please, allow me get credit for my time and effort in assisting you and press the ACCEPT button for this assist. I will be glad to answer additional questions until you are satisfied. Thank you very much.Positive Feedback and/or Bonus is welcomed and appreciated.
Nothing that you typed showed up on my screen.....
I think the chat system has froze up.....I'll switch to Q&A and we can continue to "chat" there, although it is a little bit slower. Sorry about that.

In the report, "Securing our Future: Closing the Cybersecurity Talent Gap" (October, 2015), Raytheon and the National Cybersecurity Alliance stated that 79% of millennials (ages 18-26) say they have never spoken to a cybersecurity professional that they are aware of. The study suggested that the lack of personal engagement with the profession is one reason that young people do not seem interested in cybersecurity although 29% of those interviewed would like the opportunity to meet a cybersecurity professional to discuss career opportunities.
EnergySec is addressing this relational need with a cybersecurity professional mentorship opportunity. Mentoring can be a rewarding experience for both participants, one to share their first hand knowledge, the other to learn from an expert who has life experience in the field.
When considering becoming a mentor, evaluate the following:
- How much time can you give to this relationship?
- What is the best way for you to make contact? Phone calls, one-on-one, web conferencing?
- How long will the relationship last?
- What specific knowledge, skills, and abilities do you want to encourage in the menthe?
- How will you maintain confidentiality in your mentee/mentor relationship?
For more information on how to become a mentor for EnergySec, click here.

Stock Connector lets you link stocks to cells in the spreadsheet and refreshes them live, in real time.
This stock-tracking app works in Excel Online (browser), in Excel for iPad, and in Excel 2013 (desktop), whereas all other stock-tracking applications for Microsoft Excel work only in the desktop version. That means you can put your live portfolio tracker Excel file in OneDrive or DropBox and access it from any computer, even ones that don't have Office.

Any securities supported by Yahoo Finance's API are supported by this app, including:
• US Stocks (eg. MSFT for Microsoft)
• Foreign Stocks (eg. BNP.PA for the French bank BNP Paribas)
• Exchange-Traded Funds (eg. VTI for Vanguard's Total US Market ETF)
• Market Indexes (eg. ^GSPC for the S&P 500 index)
• Forex Currency Exchange Rates (eg. USDEUR for the value of a US Dollar in Euros)
To get started, type a ticker and click the Connect button. Stock Connector allows you to choose the location where it inserts the quote price (last trade) or the daily change %. Then those values are updated automatically throughout the trading day at an interval you specify, as quickly as once every 5 seconds. The app is intended for creating a variety of portfolio-tracking spreadsheets or more complex stock-management and finance tools in Excel.
Version 4.2 Update (2/23/2015):

We have just released several new versions of Spree which contain important security fixes. A vulnerability exists in Product Scopes that could allow for unauthenticated remote command execution. There is also a potential XSS vulnerability related to the analytics dashboard. Finally, the new releases also upgrade to the latest version of Rails which include additional security fixes which were addressed by the Rails team.
The remote command execution vulnerability is quite serious and affects all versions of Spree. You should upgrade to one of the following secure versions of Spree immediately: 0.11.4, 0.70.6, 1.0.5 or 1.1.2.
Thanks to joernchen from Phenoelit and Michael Bianco from Ascension Press for bringing these issues to our attention.
If you believe you've found a security vulnerability, please do not post publicly about it. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will investigate and fix the issue as quickly as possible.
Please consult the following list of scenarios to find out what the recommendations are for your particular version of Spree.
Spree Versions Affected
The patch has been applied to the repo with the following commits 7f1e5d3 and 3db9a6e . Update to 7f1e5d3 or a more recent one to be protected.
It's recommended that you update to v1.1.2. This contains the security fix as well as other bug and stability fixes.
See the Github compare view for the full details.
It's recommended that you update to v1.0.5. This contains the security fix as well as other bug and stability fixes.
It's recommended that you update to v0.70.6. This release contains only the security fix.
0.20.x – 0.60.x
It's recommended that you update to v0.70.6. This is a fairly easy upgrade (no major changes in Rails version, etc.) and we cannot continue to support older versions of Spree indefinitely.
It's recommended that you update to v0.11.4. This release contains only the security fix.
Spree Analytics Extension
If you are using the spree_analytics extension you need to update to 079949fd to receive the most recent security fix. If you are using Spree 1.0.x or greater the analytics is included in Spree and updating to the latest secure Spree version will take care of this for you.
Spree Commitment to Security
The Spree team remains committed to the highest standard of security in it's software. Spree is used by thousands of stores worldwide and the source code is under constant review by the community. We believe in disclosing all security vulnerabilities to the public in a timely and responsible fashion. Thanks again to joernchen from Phenoelit and Michael Bianco from Ascension Press for working with us while we resolved this issue.

Great Divide Ski Area is once again the first Montana ski area to open. The ski area has made it a tradition in the past couple years of opening with a big party on the last weekend in October.
This weekend will mark the fourth year in a row that Great Divide opens the Montana ski season with the October PocketPark. The ski area will open Oct. 27-28, 2012 for early season fun.
On top of snowfall this week and cold temperatures, the ski area plans to fire up two snowmaking guns to lay down a 12- to 18-inch base in the BackYard. The rope tow will run to aid skiers in snowboarders in getting their legs under them along with two separate lines of four features each available for riders in the PocketPark.
The October PocketPark and BackYard tow will operate 5-9 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. The entry costs $5.
Last year drew big crowds to the early season event, including riders from across the state. Skiers and snowboarders who have current season passes from any Montana ski area can get free admission for the day by picking up a ticket at the office.
Saturday's PocketPark coincides with the PocketPark Party to launch the season. The cafeteria and bar open 5-11 p.m., and a live band supplies the music from 8-11 p.m. Entry to the party is free.
While the PocketPark Party officially launches the ski season, the party doubles as a Halloween celebration. Winners of the costume contest can take home a variety of prizes including accessories and clothing from Four-0-Six, tickets for the Nov. 1 showing of the Matchstick Productions film, Superheroes of Stoke, and Half-Price Passports from Great Divide.
For more information on the October PocketPark, click here.
