SOCHI, RUSSIA – Charles Hamelin of Canada skated clear of the chaos that makes short track so unpredictable, winning the 1,500 meters on Monday for his third different Olympic title.
At 29, Hamelin was the oldest skater in the first final of the short track competition. The wily veteran maintained a top-three position throughout most of the 14-lap race, leaving enough at the end to defeat a loaded field.
Hamelin raised his arms in triumph after crossing the finish line at the Iceberg Skating Palace. He pumped his right arm through the turn and went hard into the pads to embrace his father Yves, the team leader for Canada.
Han Tianyu of China took silver. Viktor Ahn of Russia earned the bronze, giving his adopted country its first-ever short track medal. J.R. Celski, the 2010 bronze medalist finished fourth.
Ahn stepped on the medals podium to wild cheers from the mostly Russian crowd. He was a three-time gold medalist for his native South Korea, but after missing the Vancouver Games four years ago, he changed his name and became a Russian citizen. He was known as Ahn Hyun-soo when he won gold in the 1,500 at the 2006 Turin Olympics.
Hamelin won gold in the 500 at his home country's Olympics in 2010 and was part of Canada's winning 5,000 relay at the 2006 Turin Games. After a long embrace with his father, Hamelin kissed girlfriend Marianne St-Gelais, who had earlier advanced to the 500 final on Thursday.
Late in the race, surprise finalist Jack Whelbourne of Britain crashed and took out one of the rubber lane markers. Lee Han-bin, the lone South Korean in the final, finished sixth. He was advanced into the final by the judges after teammate Sin Da-woon crashed in the semifinals and took Lee down with him.
Eddy Alvarez was penalized in the semis.
"The Russian guy opened his lane up a little bit so I thought I'd make a real quick pass in front of him," he said. "I like to pick people off. That's my specialty. But things happen in short track. It's an unexpected sport."
Chris Creveling was eliminated in the heats. The short trackers share the same arena with figure skating.
"It's like a puddle for us, but it's the same ice for all of us," Creveling said. "There's a lot of jostling and bumping, which is what happens with bad ice."
In the women's 500 preliminaries, Fan Kexin of China won her heat as she bids to extend her nation's dominance in the sprint race. For the first time since 2002, someone other than Wang Meng will win the gold. Wang broke her ankle in training last month, forcing her to miss these games.
Also advancing was St-Gelais and Arianna Fontana of Italy, the silver and bronze medalists from Vancouver. South Koreans Shim Suk-hee, Park Seung-hi and Kim Alang moved on.
Joining Fan in the semifinals were fellow Chinese skaters Liu Qiuhong and Li Jianrou.

Dog and Joe of "California's rock station" 98 Rock conducted an interview with legendary rocker Sammy Hagar just minutes before Sammy's book signing on March 24, 2011 at Barnes And Noble in Roseville, California. You can now watch the chat below.Hagar's autobiography, "Red: My Uncensored Life In Rock", debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times nonfiction hardcover best sellers list, appearing on the chart dated April 3, 2011. Hagar promoted the book's publication with major press interviews in New York City, as well as a two-week signing tour on both the East and West Coasts. The former VAN HALEN vocalist has been making news thanks to the book's outspoken commentary on both Eddie Van Halen and original VH frontman David Lee Roth, as well as Hagar's claims that he's met with alien beings. "Red" was published on March 15. Hagar told MTV Hive last week that he hopes the dirt he spills in "Red" will get VAN HALEN riled up enough to make a great record with original frontman David Lee Roth. The band is currently in the studio with Roth for the first time in more than a quarter century. Hagar also compared Eddie Van Halen to Charlie Sheen in an interview with ABC-TV's "Good Morning America", saying, "There's a similarity in the way they look and everything. I don't know how you get like that." Hagar has been in the studio himself recently to record the second album from CHICKENFOOT, his supergroup with ex-VH bassist Michael Anthony and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith.

Dubai, Mar 15 (UNI) Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar's reign as the leader ended rather abruptly as South African captain Graeme Smith snatched top spot of the LG ICC Player Rankings for ODI batsmen from him after a magnificent performance in the series against Bangladesh which concluded in Dhaka.
Tendulkar's stay at the top of the batting charts lasted less than two weeks. The 35-year-old little master from India had stormed to the top of the batting charts following his match-winning performances in the recent tri-series finals against Australia.
He had scored 117 not out and 91 in Sydney and Brisbane respectively to push Ricky Ponting into second place.
Smith required a career-best rating to grab the coveted spot after starting the series on 753 points and in third place behind Tendulkar and Australia's Ponting.
However, his series effort of 199 runs not only won him the Player of the Series award but also earned him 39 ratings points which were enough for him to leapfrog his two closest rivals into top spot.
Smith's top place in the ODI rankings is backed up by his 14th place in the Test rankings which is an evidence of the fine form he takes to India for the three-Test series starting in Chennai on March 26.
With only 22 ratings points separating top placed Smith from third-placed Ponting, the positions are unlikely to change for another couple of months before Australia goes head-to-head with the West Indies in the five-match ODI starting in Kingston from June 21.
In the Rankings for ODI bowlers, South Africa's Andre Nel achieved a career-best ranking to enter the top 10 for the first time in his career.
The 30-year-old pacer claimed seven wickets in the series to jump 10 places to sixth position.
Makhaya Ntini, who was rested from the series, dropped two places to the 13th spot while Albie Morkel jumped 34 places to 73rd position after bagging six wickets in the series and Charl Langeveldt climbed 12 places to 23rd spot after his effort of five wickets.
Bangladesh's left-arm slow bowler Abdur Razzak strengthened his place in the top 20 when he gained two places to rise to 16th position while Mashrafe Mortaza jumped three places to the 26th spot.

Back in January of this year we were talking with Tyler about putting together a 2011 season recap video for him. We had plenty of footage including some unreleased footage that we wanted to put out, but were lacking some important clips to put together a season recap video. Tyler asked around and thanks to a handful of video guys, we got some footage and were able to put this video together for him!
With lots of injuries last year Tyler still had an awesome 2011 season. Look for 2012 to be a good one for Tyler!

The Over-Hyped Parallels Between the War of 1812 and 9-11Roundup: Talking About History
The War of 1812 has lain mostly dormant in the American imagination for generations, its memory invoked only rarely, as in Johnny Horton's 1959 hit version of"The Battle of New Orleans" ("we fired once more, and the British kept a-comin'") or in periodic retellings of the story of"The Star-Spangled Banner." Otherwise, the war remains an overlooked episode in American history, perhaps because it ended in a draw.
But the History Channel has been doing its best to make Americans remember the conflict, heavily promoting"First Invasion: The War of 1812," a two-hour documentary that it will show at 9 tomorrow night. Why this obscure war now? The key lies in the first part of the title. It is the documentary's contention that the War of 1812 teaches a lesson about the invasion of the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.
That connection is explicitly drawn in the opening moments of the documentary when the words"September 11" fill the black screen over the sound of explosions and alarm bells and the voiceover intones ominously,"America is on the brink of annihilation." The screen then brightens to show cannon and soldiers in period costume, and the title changes to"September 11, 1814" - the date British forces advanced on Baltimore after burning Washington.
According to the documentary's view of the war, the fledgling republic perseveres against the enormous odds stacked against it by the powerful British military and its own disorganization. And if"First Invasion" backs off the Sept. 11 parallel soon after the opening, it does see the war as an inspiring lesson for Americans in a time of crisis.
"It is a story of courage, endurance and a little bit of luck," the narration says."Forged by fire, united by will, a young nation defied the odds - and won."
But the documentary, from Native Sun Productions, tells the story of the War of 1812 selectively, leaving out large portions that would show American conduct in the war in a less successful and less glorious light.
"First Invasion" details the British seizure and impressment of American seamen into the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, a direct casus belli for the United States. But it only fleetingly mentions American designs on Ontario and Quebec and efforts to drive Indian tribes allied with the British out of the western Great Lakes. It discusses New England's opposition to the war because of its commercial ties to Britain, but fails to discuss Southern congressmen's staunch support for the war, perhaps tied to fears that abolitionist Britain might curtail the slave trade.
And while the documentary goes into great detail about the destruction wrought by British forces on Washington and Baltimore in 1814, it glosses over the unsuccessful and bloody American campaign in Ontario in 1812 and 1813, which included the burning and sacking of several towns. (The British burning of Washington was retaliation for the Americans' burning of York.) Indeed, the narration refers to the American incursion not as an invasion but as merely an attack.
In the end, as much as anything about the war that is its subject,"First Invasion" teaches a lesson about the uses to which history can be put.
"In Canada, we learn that we successfully resisted your invasion, and that laid the groundwork for what would eventually become our nation," said Jack Granatstein, the former director of the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa."We won the War of 1812 by not losing."
Stephen Clarkson, a professor of political economy at the University of Toronto, remembers being surprised the first time he encountered the American view of the war."A student showed me an American book on it about 15 years ago," he said,"and it conveyed the idea that it had been this glorious victory when, in fact, it was a defeat in an attempt to conquer Canada."...
"We'd been working on this since 1988," said Gary L. Foreman, the director of "First Invasion," "and we'd already identified Sept. 11, 1814, as the key date when Americans finally came together to defend their country. But I remember soon after the 9/11 attacks, all the television commentators referencing the War of 1812 as the last time a foreign power attacked the territorial U.S., but they couldn't articulate anything about it. That's when the History Channel saw the relevance of our project and the idea that not only does history repeat itself, but that we live on a fragile thread of existence."
Others also found a morale-boosting lesson in the War of 1812 after Sept. 11.
In The New York Times Magazine two weeks after the attacks, the novelist Caleb Carr saw the British expeditionary force of 1814 as a direct precursor to the Sept. 11 hijackers.
The British, he wrote, attacked the United States and burned Washington "because of a deep anxiety over the spread of American democratic republicanism." Similarly, "it is the spread of American values," he continued, "that terrorist groups and the traditionalist, socially repressive societies that support them now fear. This fear has driven them to emulate the British forces of 1814 by damaging and destroying a group of structures that are among the most familiar symbols of contemporary American power."
If it is true that the War of 1812 somehow provides a geopolitical lesson for today, the nature of that lesson may not be as clear-cut as Mr. Carr or "First Invasion" sees it.
"What does 1812 teach us?" asked Wesley Turner, the Canadian author of "The War of 1812: The War That Both Sides Won." "Well, that you think you can conquer little countries, and it's not so easy."

Report to Community Board 6
February 11, 2009
Kavanagh Introduces Bill to Protect Tenants from Unwarranted Submetering MCIs: Tishman Speyer has proposed to implement submetering and other energy efficiency improvements for all of Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village, and to take advantage of substantial public subsidies for the project offered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority's (NYSERDA) Multifamily Performance Program. In response, Assemblymember Kavanagh and Senator Duane have introduced bill A4877/S1794, which would prevent landlords from seeking Major Capital Improvement rent increases for capital work that is part of their justification for receiving such NYSERDA funds. This practice of double-dipping, by taking advantage of two different incentives for the same work, violates the intent of the incentive provisions and, if permitted, results in a windfall to landlords. This bill would clarify that such double-dipping is not permitted. The bill has been referred to the Assembly Housing Committee. Kavanagh and the Assembly Move on Housing Laws: With a change of leadership in the State Senate, the Assembly is moving quickly this year on significant housing legislation. On January 16th, Assemblymember Kavanagh and his colleagues on the Assembly's Housing Committee held a public hearing to examine what actions can be taken to preserve the existing supply of rent regulated housing in New York and to encourage the development of new units. This hearing was followed by the Assembly's ten-bill rent regulation package that passed the Assembly on February 2nd. The package includes bills to eliminate vacancy decontrol, increase penalties for tenant harassment, and limits the length of time over which a landlord can recoup the costs of major capital improvements (MCIs). Kavanagh is a prime sponsor of each of these bills and is fighting to ensure that they pass both houses of the legislature this year. The legislative package will now be referred to the Senate. In addition, as reported last month, one of Kavanagh's bills (A514), which would prohibit landlords from employing key-card systems that track personal information without tenants' consent, passed the Assembly's Cities Committee and is expected to be voted on soon by the full Assembly. The 10-bill package includes measures to:
- Give New York City and other municipalities the power to provide tenant protections greater than those offered by State law, by repealing the "Urstadt law" (A1688).
- Repeal "vacancy decontrol" provisions that allow landlords to take vacant units out of the rent-regulated system (A2005).
- Increase the thresholds above which landlords can take apartments out of the system under "high income decontrol," raising the household income threshold from $175,000 to $240,000 and the monthly rent threshold from $2,000 to $2,700 (A860).
- Limit the length of time over which landlords may charge tenants for major capital improvement (MCI) expenses, requiring the rent surcharges for MCIs cease when the cost of the improvement has been recovered (A1928).
- Increase civil penalties the state Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) can impose on landlords who harass tenants or who violate DHCR orders related to rent-regulated housing (A2002).
- Reduce the allowable rent increase after a vacancy from 20 percent to 10 percent and limit the number of increases per year (A1686).
- Limit a landlord's ability to evict tenants to accommodate the landlord's personal use of the apartment (A1685).
- Ensure that tenants in housing stabilized by a federal Section 8 project-based assistance contract receive the benefits of rent stabilization when the federal subsidy runs out (A1687).
- Require landlords who charge a rent lower than the maximum amount to offer that same base rent as long as the same tenant resides in the apartment (A465).
- Protect tenants in Mitchell-Lama developments by prohibiting an owner from applying for a rent increase based on unique and peculiar circumstance when a project withdraws from the program (A857).

PORTLAND, Ore. ( TheStreet) -- Just as you have shoppers who'd rather hit the local holiday markets than the malls this time of year, there's a select group of online shoppers that likes to stick to their small sites and cling to their best-kept secret.ComScore ( SCOR) is already predicting that the $37.2 billion spent online last holiday season will grow this year by 17%, to $43.4 billion. Shoppers have given them little reason to think otherwise by increasing their online Thanksgiving spending 32% from $479 million in 2011 to $633 million this year. Black Friday shopping put 26% more stuffing in Santa's sack this year by boosting online spending from $816 billion last year to $1.04 billion during this year's event. Amazon ( AMZN) came out on top yet again, but Wal-Mart ( WMT), Best Buy ( BBY), Target ( TGT) and Apple ( AAPL) all rounded out the top five. All together, the 38% of American consumers who did their holiday shopping online in 2004 has grown to more than 52% this year, according to surveys from the National Retail Federation. Meanwhile, the percentage of those shunning online shopping has dropped to 16.5% from 23.5% during that span. Free shipping offers and online coupons help, but so do mobile devices that make it easy to place an online order without being tethered to the desk or couch. The big names still grab the largest slice of the holiday pie, but even small online retailers can find a spot in a stocking or beneath a tree if their wares are worthy enough. The following 10 sites help put some thought back into holiday shopping and give gifts more memorable than a cleaned-out online wish list:

"Statêra is excited to provide thought leadership on how companies address social business interactions."
Carl Fitch, CEO, Statêra
Englewood, CO (PRWEB) May 07, 2013
Statêra, a leading provider of technology solutions that drive business transformation, has added a new whitepaper to our website, http://www.Statêra.com. The white paper, "How Social is Transforming Your Business," discusses social media's growing influence, and how this is impacting companies, their customers and their employees in a meaningful way. The paper shows data on how social is impacting how employees communicate internally in a company and externally with customers, and how there is a middle ground where internal and external expectations must be aligned.
According to Statêra's research, social platforms help companies to access and share knowledge and expertise, create meaning and purpose in collaboration, and foster and manage innovation; However, enterprises need to also manage risk and liability in social communication, and enable social interaction at scale and speed. When considering a social business initiative, companies must ask how social can help track and respond to market opportunities, how it can address business challenges, how it will change the corporate culture, and how to ensure adoption. This paper gives a framework for creating a social road map.
"Statêra is excited to provide thought leadership on how companies address social business interactions, within and outside of their companies, and how to leverage this for business transformation," remarked Carl Fitch, CEO, Statêra.

Advocating for Girls' Sports With a Sharp Tongue
by Katie Thomas
HAVERFORD, Pa. — Few girls who play sports in suburban Philadelphia would recognize Robert H. Landau, but many coaches and athletic directors know that spotting him in the bleachers could spell trouble.
With a sharp tongue, a refusal to compromise and a well-honed sense of injustice, Landau is that familiar breed of community activist with a knack for pushing public officials over the edge. His specialty is girls' sports, and his targets are usually wealthy public schools from the Main Line suburbs that pride themselves on being progressive and fair in offering a rich array of opportunities.
No slight to girls is too small for Landau to take on. His victories range from the momentous to the less obvious, like forcing his daughters' school district to provide more athletic choices, pressuring leagues to showcase their title games and getting a school mascot to perform at their games.
Landau's complaint against Haverford High School — over issues like publicity for and scheduling of boys' and girls' basketball games — has upset even those who would otherwise support him.
"I am like: 'Buddy, you know what? You just threw the wrong punch,' " said Bobbi Morgan, the women's basketball coach at Haverford College, who used to coach the girls' team at Haverford High School. "I never worked anywhere where it was better." ...
Landau, who owns a lighting business, started as a parent activist and never stopped. Now 63, he has two daughters who have been out of school about 20 years and four grandchildren. ...
Landau is a rabid fan of Cheltenham High School girls' basketball, and his commentary during games often turns heads. The coach, Bob Schaefer, said, "He's yelling things that you might be thinking, but he just belts it out."
When it comes to speaking out about unfairness, Landau can be just as passionate. He boasts that athletic directors regularly hang up on him, and relishes the time he made a cheerleading coach cry. ...
Girls typically played basketball in the afternoons, and the boys in the evenings. Cheerleaders performed only at boys' games. Boys played their title games at arenas like the Palestra at the University of Pennsylvania, and girls were relegated to school gyms. His complainted have helped eliminate those inequities. ...
Landau has never been paid for his advocacy, but it worked in his favor in 1996, when he faced federal charges of defrauding a commercial loan company as the owner of a janitorial supply business. Landau repaid the $120,000 he owed the loan company, and later pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud. Although Landau was facing prison, the judge, citing his local involvement, sentenced him to time in a halfway house and under house arrest, according to news reports.
"I made a business mistake, I got snagged, and that was that," Landau said. "I have no excuse. It makes me human. More human than most."
I hadn't yet looked directly at Marty, but I had it figured out by now: Marty wasn't Martin Scorsese, as I'd first wondered, but Martin Landau, the master character actor. Then it occurred to me that about a decade ago, I had decided that Landau's portrayal of washed-up Dracula actor Bela Lugosi in Tim Burton's Ed Wood (with Johnny Depp as the world's worst movie director), was the best supporting performance I'd ever seen for comedy and pathos combined. Perhaps I can't fully justify that opinion, but it's not implausible: for that role, Landau finally won the Oscar at age 66.
How often, I asked myself, do you run into a person you've previously decided was Best.Whatever.Ever?
So, when my number was called, I stood up and said, "Mr. Landau, I just wanted to say that I've long thought your portrayal of Bela Lugosi" -- for about a quarter of a second he seemed uncertain as he mentally sorted through all the roles he's had (IMDB.com lists 158 different movies and television shows since 1956), then he smiled; yes, he remembered that role -- "was the best supporting performance I've ever seen." He thanked me very nicely, and I went and got my passport.
That reminded me that of the several dozen celebrities I've run into over the years, I can't think of anything I've observed more scandalous than that forty-something actresses aren't as glamorous-looking when they rush out to the store without their makeup on than when you see them in movies. It would be fun to have outrageous gossip to retail, but, in fact, most celebrities I've accidentally met have been superior in manners and comportment.
Most of the celebrities I've run into fall into that oxymoronic category of "famous supporting actors," so they are, almost by definition, good at acting gracious to civilians who, like I try to do, acknowledge them respectfully and unpresumptuously formally ... and then leave. But, it's also that to become a celebrity character actor like Martin Landau, somebody with a career distinguished enough that I'll finally attach a name to your face, you have to be a consummate professional over decades. To have Martin Landau's 53-year career, you can't be a mess like Bela Lugosi.
In summary, now that I think about it, Martin Landau isn't much like Robert H. Landau at all.
But, that's the point of having a blog, isn't it -- to be able to careen drunkenly from topic to topic without having to gin up a Deep Think justification tying together your randomness?

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2010/07/19 - In what is an industry first, TNT has achieved the highest validation ever to be awarded to a company globally for trucks operating on its Asia Road Network in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
Level One is the highest validation that TAPA (Transported Asset Protection Association) awards in its TSR category (Trucking Security), demanding 100 per cent compliance from participating companies and their suppliers in meeting stringent security measures.
This validation is of particular interest to customers from the high-tech, automotive / industrial, healthcare industry as well as those who require day-definite secure transit for high-value and time-sensitive commodities. The increased security hardware and processes benefit customers with added peace-of-mind and more efficient tracking that allows point-to-point monitoring of valuable commodities.
These measures are designed to increase the effectiveness of transport security protocol, urge the adoption of more advanced security and tracking technology, as well as provide benchmarks for training staff in mitigating security threats both en-route and while static.
TNT, the leading global express integrator, pioneered the Asia Road Network five years ago. Last month (22 June), it announced a further $4.5 million euro (about S$7.61 million) investment in its successful Asia Road Network, bringing total investments to date to more than 12.5 million euro (about S$21.4 million). The Asia Road Network currently serves seven countries and 127 cities in Southeast Asia and China.
TNT has developed a strong reputation for security on the Asia Road Network. In the last five years we have enjoyed the lowest damage and best protection rates in the industry. This has rallied strong demand from some of the leading companies in the region, including those industries which require secure, day-definite transport such as the healthcare, high-tech and automotive & industrial sectors. States Onno Boots, Regional Managing Director, TNT SEA & India
Gerry Power, Managing Director, TNT Malaysia and Brunei said, With our unique Asia Road Network (ARN) we are able to offer world class services to our customers at the most efficient rates and without ever compromising on security. This certification is a significant achievement for TNT and a real plus for our customers in Malaysia, especially those operating in the high tech, automotive & industrial and O&G sectors who demand innovative, comprehensive and integrated security systems as part of their supply chains.
In Asia, TNT already has TAPA FSR certified integrated regional road and air hubs in Singapore and Bangkok, as well as its regional gateways and depots. This means that TNT is now the first globally to operate a complete door-to-door TAPA certified- logistics network.
Studies have shown that the benefits of supply chain security to customers are numerous including improved delivery transit times, reduced theft in inventory management, improved asset visibility, improved on-time delivery to customers and higher customer confidence and loyalty.
On the ARN we have invested in and deployed proactive, industry leading security measures both on the vehicle and in our security command centre. We place a strong emphasis on tracking, monitoring and securing our vehicles and precious cargo. Coinciding with the 5th anniversary of the launch of the ARN, we unveiled a new fleet of 41-foot trailer and truck combinations which incorporate state-of-the-art technology to meet the growing demand of our customers for security of their shipments. States David Stenberg, General Manager, TNT Asia Road Network
TAPA TSR demands 100% compliance from Level One associates
According to TAPA research, more than 62% of losses incurred on road freight transport happens en-route, or while the truck is away from the secure depots.
TAPA measures have been established by security professionals within the high-tech industry to address the nature by which high-tech products and materials are transported by road. The TSR specifies the minimum acceptable security standards for assets traveling throughout the supply chain and the methods to be used in maintaining those standards.
TNT has taken the TAPA requirements a stage further by deploying CCTV cameras on their fleet. The cameras, which can be monitored remotely, observe the loading and unloading of the trailer, to ensure quality controls at all stages of the movement of the customers goods. The cameras are also used to detect if the trailer is being followed and the control room is able to alert the police immediately of an eminent attack on the vehicle.
The Truck TSR validation further underpins TNTs ISO 28000 certification, which was awarded to TNT in 2009.The ISO 28000 audit covered TNTs integrated operational road and air solutions which included the Asia Road Network, cross border customs security and clearance processes. The audit also covered TNTs tailor-made security solutions for its customers, which encompassed a risk based assessment of the customers business within the supply chain.
The Asia Road Network is seamlessly linked to TNTs air networks and is supported by its multiple facilities across the region, most notably the S$20 million TNT Regional Hub an integrated air and road hub located in Singapore.
Boots adds: These new measures are game-changing and are especially relevant during the transportation of high value goods from the hi-tech, healthcare and automotive and industrial sectors. TNT is the first in the region to commit to 100% TAPA TSR Level One validation. Ever the innovator, TNT is yet again the benchmark for road and air freight security in Asia.
TNTs TAPA TSR Validation was completed by TUV Rheinland.

High Taste, Low Cal Breakfasts with Aveen Bannon
- Aveen Bannon makes fibre-rich muesli on The Afternoon Show
- Aveen Bannon makes Eggie Veggie and nutty banana toast on The Afternoon Show
Wednesday, 13 January 2010
Aveen Bannon and Paula Mee will be in with us every Tuesday in January cooking low cal, high taste recipes. Each week will be themed, this week Aveen is talking about breakfasts and she will cook up some healthy alternatives to the typical breakfast.
Aveen Bannon, Nutritionist
Despite breakfast skipping being relatively common practice now among adults and adolescents, recent research has confirmed that breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast is literally breaking the fast. After a night sleep our body is running on empty and we need to supply the body with fuel. You wouldn't expect a car to run without petrol so why expect your body to run on empty?
An American study revealed that eating breakfast is the most positive thing you can do if you want to lose weight and achieve a nutritionally balanced diet. Data showed that people who regularly skip this meal are 4.5 times more likely to be overweight than breakfast eaters. Common reasons given for skipping breakfast include lack of time, poor meal planning and a mistaken perception that skipping breakfast will result in weight loss. However, breakfast skippers tend to snack more and overcompensate for the lost calories at breakfast by eating energy dense high fat foods later in the day, especially at suppertime.
Similarly, in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a study in adolescents and adults revealed that breakfast skipping is a health compromising behavior and those who skip breakfast are more likely to be overweight that breakfast eaters. Smoking, infrequent exercise and frequent alcohol intake were associated with breakfast skipping.
A recent survey of Irish school children aged between 10-17 years revealed that 15% of surveyed children never have breakfast during the week and 8% never have breakfast at the weekends. These figures are cause for concern for two reasons. Firstly, the evident associated risk of skipping breakfast and weight gain and secondly missing a meal that provides a significant amount of nutrients to the diet. If children skip breakfast they will find it difficult to satisfy their nutritional needs. Fortified breakfast cereals with milk are an important source of iron, calcium, zinc, folic acid and B vitamins. Children who regularly consume breakfast cereals are more likely to meet recommended micronutrient intakes than children who rarely consume them.
Many years of breakfast skipping can result in lack of appetite in the morning and even some people reporting that they 'feel sick' when they try to eat something first thing. The first thing to do is have a glass of juice; this will help increase your appetite. Maybe try having a piece of fruit at home and then a high fibre cereal when you get in to work. Unsweetened muesli or porridge is a great nutritious start to the day. Gradually increase the size of your breakfast and your appetite will slowly start to increase in the early morning. Time is never an excuse! It only takes 5 minutes to have breakfast in the morning and we can always get up a little earlier.most people would agree that those five minutes extras in bed isn't worth the risk of potential obesity in later life.
Important Breakfast Foods
1. Fibre; Wholegrain cereals like unsweetened muesli and porridge
2. Calcium; Low fat probiotic yoghurt and low fat fortified milk e.g. supermik, could also have low fat soya milk with added calcium
3. Protein; Mixed seeds & nuts (e.g. linseed, pumpkin, brazil nuts, almonds), eggs, beans, smoked salmon
Having breakfast is vital, but so too is what you eat. The following are core breakfast foods for your shopping list:
1. Fibre rich foods; Wholegrain Cereals like unsweetened muesli and Porridge
Oats are a well documented superfood. A superfood is one which offers many health benefits without requiring too much preparation. Oats are low in fat, have a low glycaemic Index, are high in soluble fibre, are low in salt and sugar and contain a variety of vitamins and minerals.
Eating porridge helps the brain to produce serotonin. Serotonin is a brain transmitter that helps keep our spirits up and our appetites down. Levels of serotonin dip when sunlight is low - i.e. during the winter months.
One study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health indicated that eating oatmeal on a regular basis can help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Oat bran also contains a fibre called beta-glucan, a soluble fibre that can help to lower cholesterol. Another American study revealed that including wholegrains such at oats in the diet 6 times a week could help lower cholesterol.
Muesli is a great alternative to porridge but some can have added sugar so be sure to pick ones with no added sugars. All the main ingredients of muesli are considered important elements of a healthy diet: nuts, seeds, oats, wholegrains and dried fruits. Muesli is a high fibre breakfast option that releases energy slowly into the system and provides essential vitamins and minerals including B vitamins, iron, selenium and vitamin E.
2. Dairy; Probiotic low fat Yoghurt and fortified low fat milk
Milk products are a rich source of calcium and protein. When choosing yogurt opt for one that is low in fat and one that contains probiotics. Probiotics are organisms that live in the intestinal tract and contribute to the guts health. They are often referred to as 'good bacteria' or 'friendly bacteria' and they act against the bad bacteria to maintain a balance and help to fight disease. Probiotic organisms are found in live yogurts.
Milk is another great bone food that is a rich source of calcium. Low fat functional milks are the best option. Some functional milks contain extra calcium with added vitamins A and D. other milks have omega 3 fats added so are a good option for those who dislike oily fish.
3. Protein; Mixed seeds, nuts, beans, eggs, smoked salmon
High fibre protein rich foods are considered low glycaemic index foods with lots of nutritional benenfits.so a great start to the day. Seeds are high in fibre, a good source of essential minerals including zinc, magnesium and copper, contain vitamin E, and are a good source of omega-3 fats. Nuts are another great breakfast food. They can be high in fat but most of the fat in nuts is considered a good fat i.e. unsaturated fat. As seeds and nuts are so nutrient dense, yet high in calories, you only need small amounts to benefit from their antioxidants such as Vitamin E and selenium, their iron and their essential fatty acids. A small handful is considered a portion.
The benefits of eggs are numerous. They are a low fat source of protein that contain the essential amino acids we need to build brain neurotransmitters. Eggs are also a rich source of iron which is important for providing energy and supplying oxygen around the body. A diet low in iron tends to lead to fatigue so ensuring a good iron intake can help increase alertness and concentration. They also contain choline and biotin for healthy skin and hair. It is ok to have an egg a day if your cholesterol is within the recommended level. If you have high cholesterol, restrict intake to no more than 5 per week. Do try to avoid adding fat in cooking though.
Other nutritious protein rich options include beans, makeral, and smoked salmon for a weekend breakfast.omega 3 fatty acids are found in oily fish, nuts and seeds and are essential components of brain cell membranes, and play an important role in heart and joint health.
Less nutritious breakfast choices:
1. Danish pastry, tea with full fat milk and sugar - 650 calories
2. Bowl of sugary cereal with full fat milk, 2 slices of white toast with butter and jam and a glass of sweetened juice - 778 calories

Fibre rich muesli
Makes 2 servings
. 100g oat flakes
. 20g wheatgerm
. 2 tblsp chopped almonds
. 2 tblsp chopped brazil nuts
. 2 tblsp linseed
. 2 tblsp pumpkin seeds
. 1 tblsp lecithin granules
. 60g of sultanas, raisins or chopped apricots
1. Stir all the ingredients together and mix well.
Food groups
1. Fruits; Fresh fruit (berries, banana, grapefruit) & dried fruit; Dried apricots, prunes
2. Cholesterol busting; Lecithin granules
3. Energy boosting; wheatgerm
1. Fruit; Fresh & dried
Fruit is packed with vitamins, phytochemicals, fibre and folate but has the added benefit of being low in calories and fat. It's a good idea to include some colour at every meal so including juice, fresh fruit or dried fruit at breakfast is a good way to ensure a nutritionally rich start to the day. Citrus fruits are thought to protect our hearts and protect us against certain cancers. Bananas are great source of vitamin B6 and potassium; they also supply magnesium which is thought to help regulate our mood. Berries are particularly high in vitamin C which helps us absorb iron from pant sources e.g. the iron in nuts, seeds, wholegrains or beans.
Dried fruits are great fibre rich way to add sweetness to breakfast. Traditionally people will chose prunes for a healthy bowel but raisins, sultanas, apricots, berries in their dried form will provide significant amounts of iron, potassium, vitamin A and fibre.
2. Cholesterol busting; Lecithin granules contain phosphatidyl choline.
Choline is required for the proper metabolism of fats; it facilitates the movement of fats in and out of cells therefore playing an important role in the breakdown of fat in the liver and emulsification of fat in food. Lecithin may be useful for those with raised cholesterol and can be taken alone or added to everyday foods like cereals and yogurts.
3. Energy Boosting; Wheatgerm is the nutritional heart of the wheat kernel.
The germ is packed with vitamins and minerals including vitamin E, thiamin, folate, magnesium, iron and zinc. Just 2 tblsp of wheatgerm will provide about 35 calories, 3g of protein, 1.5g of fibre and lots of nutrition.

Having just retired from my twenty year career as a physician, this morel season found me with an abundance of time on my hands. This was to be my year to bring home bags and bags of morels.
Described as nutty, meaty, buttery, even chocolatey, morels have a delicate flavor that is sublime. Make sure to cook your morels; don't eat them raw. Raw morels contain a toxin that will make you ill, although not seriously, and the effect is exacerbated if alcohol is also consumed. But by all means pair your cooked morels with the best hearty, full-flavored red wine you can get, such as a Cabernet Sauvingnon, a Bordeaux, or a Rhone.
When cooking up morels, it is best to keep it simple. Don't bog them down in sauces, or drown them in wine. Pan-Fried Morels are a simple, gutsy dish with a texture not unlike French Fries, and one of the easiest recipes you will ever make. Once the preparation is mastered, you can tuck your pan-fried morels into softly scrambled eggs, or top Creamy Polenta, or use them in my Risotto with Pancetta and Morels.
Did I find the motherlode of morels this spring? Not exactly. I had more luck cooking up these wild mushrooms than tracking them down. Luckily, I was able to benefit from the charity of friends, who happen to know exactly where to find these elusive mushrooms.
- fresh morels, a few cups
- extra virgin olive oil, 3-4 Tbsp.
- kosher salt or sea salt
- pat of butter
- leaves from 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
- Gently wash your morels. Use a soft bristled brush, such as a toothbrush, to remove sand and grit. Tap them gently to coax out any small insects hiding within.
- Cut smaller morels in half, larger ones into quarters or eighths.
- Place a nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Once nice and hot, add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot enough to bubble, add the morels.
- Stir fry until brown and a bit crispy, but don't overcook. You want them to be meaty and chewy too. Now add a pat of butter.
- Toss with kosher salt, or some other flavorful coarse salt. Add fresh thyme leaves.
- Serve atop polenta, scrambled eggs, bruschetta, or alongside a perfectly grilled steak.
The salty crunch of the pancetta, the meaty tenderness of the morels, and the creamy al dente rice all add up to the perfect risotto. If you don't have morels, you can substitute one pound of mixed wild mushrooms, such as chanterelle, crimini, and portobellos.
- 8 paper thin slices of pancetta (or bacon or proscuitto)
- 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb. fresh morels, halved if small, quartered if large, or 1 cup dried morels, reconstituted in cool water for 20 minutes, drained and patted dry. (Save the poaching water to add to your risotto).
- kosher salt
- 5 cups chicken broth, homemade if possible
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
- 1 cup fresh or frozen baby peas
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Tbsp. heavy cream
- freshly ground pepper
- fresh thyme leaves, for garnish
- Preheat the broiler. Place the pancetta slices on a baking sheet in a single layer, and broil for 1-2 minutes. You want them crispy but not burnt. Drain on paper towels. Crumble. Hide from those who wander through the kitchen and can't resist snacking on them.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth and keep it at a low simmer.
- Prepare your morels as described above in Pan-Fried Morels with Thyme, but go easy on the salt because the pancetta is also very salty. Set aside. (Hide these with the pancetta crumbles.)
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil, then add the garlic and shallot over medium heat. Once they are softened but not yet brown, add the Arborio rice. Stir the rice to coat the grains for 1-2 minutes.
- Increase the heat, and add the chicken broth to the risotto 1 cup at a time. Keep stirring until all the liquid has been absorbed, then add more broth. Cook until the risotto has a creamy oatmeal-like consistency and the rice is al dente.
- Add the peas and stir to heat through.
- Stir in the thyme, the heavy cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan.
- Top with Pan-Fried Morels with Thyme and the Pancetta crumbles. Gently stir and serve with more Parmesan at the table.

Turning your old iPhone or iPad app into a Universal app that natively supports both devices is fairly easy, as long as you know where to look and what to change. To clear confusion here is a step by step guide detailing exactly how to make an iPhone app Universal, the steps are nearly identical for an iPad app.
You will probably want to make a copy of your project before commencing, just in case something goes wrong.
- Select the project in your left project navigator. Under the summary tab select 'Universal'
- If you run the project now your interface will show full screen on the iPad, although the same interface is being used
- You will see in your Summary tab a new section has been created for the iPad (one named "iPhone/iPod Deployment Info" and another named "iPad Deployment Info"). The main interface file used for this device type is listed. The iPad default iPad one is called "MainWindow-iPad", so create an Empty user interface file of this name. When prompted for the target device family choose iPad. Call this file "MainWindow-iPad".
- Instead of recreating every interface, go into your MainWindow.xib and copy every object and paste them into the MainWindow-iPad.xib. Everything will be iPhone sized, but we will fix this. Right click the xib and choose to open it as source code. Use find and replace to replace all instances of "{320, 460}" with "{768, 1024}". To get back to interface builder mode open the file as Xcode.IDEKit…
- For the MainWindow-iPad.xib, select the "File's owner" and in the identity inspector on the right make this of custom class "UIApplication". Right click the File's owner and link up the delegate with the app delegate.
- That's all. Run your app and it will use a different IB file depending on which device it's targeting. Of course you may need to reposition objects for the other device. For dealing with various devices in code there is only one conditional statement you need to use
if(UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
// iPhone/iPod touch code here
// iPad code here

Yeah, I've started to think that myself. My confidence in this group is waning fast. I wanted to add Morris to my team and was looking for a way to do that but was struggling over who to cut. I immediately felt like cutting Glavine had been a mistake - and was thrilled to have him back. The fact that none of you bothered putting a waiver claim on him should have let me know that I'd probably made the right move.

Smith, Brandon Jacobs, Chase Daniels, Clinton Portis, Dexter McCluster, Frank Tadych, Jack Del Rio, Jake Grove, Jamaal Charles, Jimmy Clausen, Joe Berger, Joe Flacco, Josh Freeman, Kamerion Wimbley, Larry Johnson, Marcus McNeill, Matt Moore, Mike Sims-Walker, Mike Williams, Montrae Holland, Ramses Barden, Ricky Williams, Robert Brewster, Steven Jackson, Terrell Suggs, Thomas Jones, Tom Cable, Tony Romo, Tra Thomas
On the day after 11 games filled the NFL preseason schedule, here's a look at what stories are on the radar:
- Maybe not what the Chiefs had in mind: Thomas Jones has been outplayed during the preseason by both Jamaal Charles and rookie Dexter McCluster, writes Adam Teicher.
- Words like "potential" and "star" and "potential star" continue to pop up often near the name of Bucs rookie WR Mike Williams.
- Josh Freeman knows that people will be watching how he reacts to his fractured thumb, writes Sam Mellinger.
- Brandon Jacobs was a late scratch against the Steelers due to a stiff neck that Giants coach Tom Coughlin said "came out of nowhere," while Ramses Barden says his back injury "is not chronic" and he hopes to be in uniform this week, writes Paul Schwartz.
- Tom Cable called the four-sack performance by Kamerion Wimbley against the Bears "exceptional," writes Steve Corkran.
- It was thought the Cowboys' makeshift offensive line could limit the amount of time Tony Romo saw against the Chargers. Romo played almost the entire first half against the Chargers, and Charean Williams writes LG Montrae Holland and RT Robert Brewster held their own.
- After watching Tra Thomas retire and the Chargers try to protect Philip Rivers' blindside against the Cowboys, Jay Paris writes it's time for Chargers GM A.J. Smith to end the impasse with Marcus McNeill.
- Matt Moore and Jimmy Clausen — as well as the rest of the Panthers' offense — drew underwhelming reviews against the Jets.
- The second look at the Jets' offense wasn't any better than the first, writes Viv Bernstein.
- The big storyline coming out of the Saints' domination of the Texans was the Drew Brees impersonation by backup QB Chase Daniels, writes Jeff Duncan.
- Joe Berger started at center for the Dolphins and looks to have the edge over Jake Grove, while 33-year-old Ricky Williams is running as hard as ever, writes Dave Hyde.
- Mike Sims-Walker, who rebounded from a poor performance and a shoulder injury in the preseason opener, came to life against the Dolphins, writes Vic Ketchman. Jack Del Rio was happy to see it, because he says Sims-Walker isn't an established player and needs to "show some grit."
- Joe Flacco made exactly one impressive throw in five series, writes Kevin Van Valkenburg. Better news is that Terrell Suggs looks back to being Terrell Suggs.
- Larry Johnson called his preseason debut with the Redskins "disappointing" after finishing with eight carries for four yards while splitting first-half reps with Clinton Portis.
- The Browns have not one, but two reliable quarterbacks, a stark contract from last season, writes Terry Pluto.
- Steven Jackson made his preseason debut after back surgery and looked just like Steven Jackson, writes Jim Thomas, even if the Rams don't have any solid backup options.
- The Lions' offense continues to take steps in the right direction, writes Chris McCosky.

"There is a famous quote, attributed to everyone from Ghandi to Churchill, that states, 'Any society is judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members -- the last, the least, the littlest.'

It was such a blessing when people would congratulate me but it wasn't the primary concern. Breaking (Orrville's) 20-year streak and the 38-year streak (of never getting to state) for coach Alberts, that's the biggest number because it meant so much to the community. As a senior, that capped all it off."

Remember those meetings Attorney General Eric Holder was planning with news organizations over the next few weeks? It seems that they were off the record, and a number of outlets are not happy about this fact.
CNN, the AP, the NY Times and others are declining to meet with holder as long as the meetings are kept off the record. It isn't yet clear whether ABC News or NBC News will attend the meetings.
Update: HuffPost's Michael Calderone reports that ABC News, Politico and The Washington Post will attend the meetings. Fox News will not attend if it is off the record:
Decision: Fox News' Executive Vice President Michael Clemente has said that Fox News will NOT attend the DOJ meeting if it is OFF the record
— Bret Baier (@BretBaier) May 30, 2013
From CBS News: "CBS News does not plan to participate in the off-the-record meeting with Attorney General Eric Holder. We would be willing to consider an on-the-record discussion."
CNN.com's Carol Cratty has more:
The Associated Press issued a statement Wednesday objecting to plans for the meetings to be off the record. "If it is not on the record, AP will not attend and instead will offer our views on how the regulations should be updated in an open letter," said Erin Madigan White, the AP's media relations manager…
Like the New York Times and the Associated Press, CNN will decline the invitation for an off-the-record meeting. A CNN spokesperson says if the meeting with the attorney general is on the record, CNN would plan to participate.

- Description
About The Toshiba 7MR16/827NFL25 300 Lumens LED Light Bulbs, MR16 GU5.3 - 20 Watt Equivalent - 2700K Incandescent Color - Dimmable
With most governments making a strong push to make incandescent light bulbs illegal now is the right time to make your move to LED light bulbs. The Toshiba 7MR16/827NFL25 LED lights last up to 20 times longer than incandescent / halogen bulbs and they are 80% more energy efficient that incandescent / halogen light bulbs. Not only are the Toshiba LED lights much more energy efficient light bulbs, but they are also the most reliable LED light bulbs available. This is proven by the fact that Toshiba is so confident in their LED light bulbs they back them with a 5 year warranty against decreasing lumen output. Toshiba is the manufacturer that guarantees the lumen output will not decrease for 5 years with a warranty, other manufacturers of LED light bulbs only state initial lumen output when rating their LED lights. This is important because with LED light bulbs made by other companies the lumen output can start to decrease in a matter of months delivering less than optimal lighting. Toshiba LED light bulbs also feature the Phillips Chip Set that provides unmatched reliability.
The Toshiba LED light bulbs are also easy to install, all you do is remove the old incandescent bulbs and screw your LED light bulbs in. With other LED lights you may have to change some of your lighting hardware or maybe even do some rewiring. The Toshiba 7MR16/827NFL25 LED light bulbs have a color temperature of 2700K creating a lighting color that is equivalent to an incandescent light. The color temperature is important when selecting LED lights because many LED lights produce awfully bright white light that is not ideal for in home lighting. Toshiba LED light bulbs also are unique from other LED light bulbs in that they are dimmable LED light bulbs. The dimmer switches that are compatible with the Toshiba 7MR16/827NFL25 LED lights are: Lutron DV-600P, Lutron DVLV-600P, Lutron NTLV-600, Lutron NTELV-600, and Lutron 6631. The transformers that will work with the Toshiba 7MR16/827NFL25 LED light bulbs are: Ardee TW50, Hatch RS12-15M-LED, Hatch RS12-30M-LED, Hatch PS12-20L, and WAC EN-12100-R-AR.
Toshiba has been in the lighting industry for 120 years now and have always been known to provide a reliable product.

Ken Whisenhunt suddenly has become San Diego's Zola Budd.
It was the Chargers' offensive coordinator's fault the team stumbled and fell last Sunday in Denver. He had things on his mind other than that divisional playoff game, looking at his future out of one eye and game out of the other.
It has become a popular notion -- not just among the Angry Villagers but many local social media mavens -- that Whisenhunt shouldn't have been following common NFL practice and interviewing for other head coaching jobs last week (he eventually chose Tennessee). That it affected his concentration and thus the task at hand. That it created a distraction for the players and the organization, which didn't have to grant him permission to interview.
Think what you want. That's fine. It's your right.
Now, if you want to believe Ken's play calling -- of which I'm sure head coach Mike McCoy was aware -- wasn't right and directly contributed to the defeat, then you're there with me. The offensive plan was far too conservative (except for the very beginning, when the O line communicated like the Stooges) for three quarters, and Denver could have been had.
But I don't believe his job situation had anything to do with how he called plays or how the team performed. Neither, apparently, did Tennessee -- or Detroit, which wanted him badly. This is not amateur hour.
The people who coach NFL teams are dedicated, tireless, often intense, focused professionals. I've been watching football for more than a half-century and covering the Chargers and the NFL for better than 30 years, and I can't imagine a coordinator being influenced by a job opportunity while he's putting together a game plan (which would have to be approved anyway) or calling plays during a game.
I also have no problems with teams allowing coaches to improve their livelihoods. It wasn't like he had to leave town.
It was not a distraction here. I'm sure of it. And I'm not alone.
Ernie Zampese, who worked as an NFL assistant for 25 years, is quite possibly the most famous offensive coordinator in football history. He took over Air Coryell and flew it higher than it had been before (Don Coryell once told me: "Ernie is the best coach I can think of."). Zampese ran the Cowboys' offense in 1995 when Dallas won a Super Bowl.
And although he never wanted to be in charge -- he turned down opportunities -- every coach and coordinator working today should genuflect in his presence, because Ernie paved the road. He was the first assistant to make big money, when so many of his peers were living paycheck-to-paycheck.
Now retired and still living in San Diego, Zampese follows the Chargers and the NFL (his son, Ken, coaches the Bengals' quarterbacks). His reaction to all this Whisenhunt stuff, unusual for him, is not one of restraint, and he isn't always a Chargers sympathizer. No one respects his opinion more than me.
"That had nothing to do with what the hell happened in that football game," Zampese says. "I don't know Whisenhunt; I've never met him, but I know -- I know -- he's a helluva coach and did a great job with this team. I don't know if people understand what kind of year that football team had. Truly unbelievable.
"Those interviews had nothing to do with what happened. Period. There's no doubt in my mind that he cared as much about that football game as anyone. My gosh, it's ridiculous to think he was affected by it. (Philip) Rivers said it exactly right (that the interviews had nothing to do with it) and those meetings he sat in last week were the same as he sat in all year."
It wasn't as though Whisenhunt was taking time off to leave his duties and interview. The game plan had to be in.
"I think most people now have it in the first two (practice) days, Wednesday and Thursday," Zampese said. "Friday is more of a revue. Look, McCoy, who I think is a helluva coach, didn't even have to make it public. They had the same meetings, same practices. People don't know -- they do not know.
"What they should know is that everybody connected with that football team did a tremendous job. What they accomplished was unbelievable. Just a great, great job."
We'll leave it at that.
