act(redirected from getting act together)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Financial, Encyclopedia.
Something done; usually, something done intentionally or voluntarily or with a purpose.
The term encompasses not only physical acts—such as turning on the water or purchasing a gun—but also refers to more intangible acts such as adopting a decree, edict, law, judgment, award, or determination. An act may be a private act, done by an individual managing his or her personal affairs, or it may be a public act, done by an official, a council, or a court. When a bill is favorably acted upon in the process of legislation, it becomes an act.
1) n. in general, any action by a person. 2) n. a statutory plan passed by Congress or any legislature which is a "bill" until enacted and becomes law. 3) v. for a court to make a decision and rule on a motion or petition, as in "the court will act on your motion for a new trial."

becomes abortive; as a prosecution for an offence, 7 Wheat. 552; or a
proceeding under insolvent laws. 1 Bl. R. 451; Burr. 1456 ; 6 Cranch, 208 ;
9 Serg. & Rawle, 283.

OneCard does it all.
The Worcester State University OneCard is the official identification card for all WSU students and employees.

How do I obtain a Guest Card?If you are a visitor on campus, you can purchase a Guest Card at the Student Accounts office (located on the first floor of the Shaughnessy Administration Building) or at one of the Card Management Center kiosks on campus (located in the Library, the Student Center, Wasylean Hall, Wellness Center, and Sheehan Hall). The fee for the Guest Card is $1. As soon as you purchase your Guest Card, you can add value at the point of purchase using cash or a credit card.

There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth last month at the news of Michael Jordan's acrobatic withdrawal from the American Century Championship Celebrity Golf Tournament at Stateline, Nev. Particularly annoying for many fans who had devoted large hunks of time — and considerable coin — to get to the tournament to see him was the fact that Jordan bailed only two days before the event.
Now comes the news — OK, rumor, really, courtesy of the gossipy-yet-scenic Lake Tahoe Mountain News — that the tournament's conspicuous lack of Jordan was due to what we suspected all along; his enormous gambling Jones. Jordan, said the paper, was not welcome back at Harrah's casino (which co-sponsors the event and provides lodging for the celebrity participants) until he had paid his tab from last year. Which is probably mighty considerable, and most likely consists primarily of poker and blackjack losses. And which he refused to do. We imagine we're talking Charles Barkley dollars here, only with
larger smaller tips.
Oh, and the paper also recounted the story — again, couched with the rumor tag — of how Harrah's sent a large "collection agent" named Taco to Sacramento (about 100 miles from Tahoe) to collect a similar debt from Chris Webber. How did that episode go? Well, Webber was in attendance at the tournament this year.

Checking in on… the Sun BeltPosted by Brian Goodman on February 4th, 2011
Danny Spewak is the RTC correspondent for the Sun Belt Conference.
A Look Back
- Sun Belt Conference, look out: Tony Mitchell is here. After failing to qualify at Missouri, the five-star power forward enrolled at North Texas last month, landing the Mean Green one of the most celebrated recruits in Sun Belt history. Mitchell signed a letter of intent for Mike Anderson last fall, but the NCAA ruled him ineligible because of disputed high school credits. If he completes 24 credits at North Texas during the next two semesters, he will gain eligibility for the second semester next season. Mitchell isn't the only highly-touted freshman forward heading to Denton next year. Texas natives Jordan Williams and Forrest Robinson, who both received scholarship offers from numerous power conference schools, will team with Mitchell next season to help replace eight graduated seniors.
- Not even the radio crew for Arkansas-Little Rock had any idea why forward Eric Kibi played Thursday night against Denver. Although he was ruled academically ineligible last month, the junior college transfer magically reappeared to score two points in 24 minutes of action. Kibi had not played since January 2, but it seems he's made his way back to the Trojans. That's good news for a team in need of some size.
- For the first time in school history, the Florida Atlantic men's basketball program hosted a nationally televised game against UALR January 22. And the first-place Owls didn't disappoint, pulling away for an 88-71 win in front of a frenzied crowd that seemed to really enjoy the atmosphere.The league's next ESPN game is between North Texas and Western Kentucky February 12.
Shoutout Section: It's hard to tell what position Travis Bureau plays for Louisiana-Lafayette. The 6'7 senior has a lot of skills, including rebounding: and boy, was that evident last weekend in a win at South Alabama. Bureau grabbed 20 rebounds to help ULL win its fourth straight game after a 3-14 start. He now leads the Rajun' Cajuns in rebounding, even though he's considering a guard by most. Miraculously, Bureau's team is now just three games out of first place in the West. Three weeks ago, with coach Bob Marlin's roster decimated due to injuries and personnel changes, that would have sounded impossible.
For the first time this season, we'll go ahead and give a shoutout to an entire game. That's because the Denver/UALR matchup last night, won 75-72 by the Trojans in overtime, was the Game of the Year in the Sun Belt. The Pioneers needed overtime to win at home in December in the first meeting, and although they initially led 10-0 and held a 13-point lead in the second half Thursday, UALR stormed back to open a five-point lead in the final minutes. That's when the Hallam brothers struck. Travis Hallam banked in a three to cut the Trojans' lead to one before Chase Hallam sank a contested three from the right corner to tie the game with 1.3 seconds remaining. It's a good thing UALR had Matt Mouzy on its side. Mouzy didn't attempt a shot from inside the arc all game, but he made eight of 10 three-pointers—literally from everywhere on the court, making threes with hands in his face and open treys from NBA range. It was one heck of a game, broadcast unfortunately to a miniscule audience online.
Quote of the Week:
"We can't be the best kept secret in Boca. We should have every middle school, every elementary school, youth league and there should be groups coming here in waves coming through here every night. I wouldn't care if we were giving the tickets away because we could make money at the concession stand."
–Florida Atlantic coach Mike Jarvis on how to promote his program
Power Rankings
1. Florida Atlantic (17-7, 9-1): The East is all but over—it's Florida Atlantic's division in 2011. FAU leads Middle Tennessee by three games with six to play and already swept the Blue Raiders. With more wins than all of last year, the Owls continued their breakout season last night by snapping North Texas' 17-game home winning streak at The Super Pit. Florida Atlantic roughed up the defending champs 72-55 with its lone senior, Brett Royster, on the bench for much of the game in foul trouble. Against a team that relies almost exclusively on seniors, Florida Atlantic's underclassmen looked like the tougher and more mature players. We may be witnessing the birth of a program in Boca Raton, which begs this question: how long until the national publications decide to throw a redemption party for coach Mike Jarvis? If the Owls make the NCAA Tournament, you can bet the writers will have a field day rehashing his rocky tenure at St. John's.
Up Next: Feb. 5 vs. FIU, Feb. 10 at Denver, Feb. 12 at ULL
2. Middle Tennessee State (11-12, 6-4): If only the Blue Raiders could move to the West Division. Kermit Davis' team pulled another upset two weeks ago by ruining Denver's undefeated conference season, and MTSU has lost just one game to a West opponent. There's no catching Florida Atlantic in the East, but Middle Tennessee has established itself as the second-best team in this muddled division. Davis' team has won four of five games and looks like a prime spoiler pick at the SBC tourney in Hot Springs this March.
Up Next: Feb. 5 vs. USA, Feb. 10 at WKU, Feb. 12 vs. FIU
3. South Alabama (10-11, 4-6): There are only five players in college basketball averaging more rebounds per game than freshman Augustine Rubit. Included in that list are Maryland's Jordan Williams and Syracuse's Rick Jackson, as well as freakish future pro Kenneth Faried of Morehead State.A nd Rubit's right there with him— standing tall at 6'6. That's right: the nation's sixth-leading rebounder is a 6'6 freshman from South Alabama. Rubit's the frontrunner for SBC Newcomer of the Year, and he's a big reason why Ronnie Arrow's team has rebounded from a poor start to win three of four games. A division title is out of the question, but with underclassmen Rubit and Martino Brock leading the way, the Jaguars have a chance to build a little momentum heading into next season.
Up Next: Feb. 5 at MTSU, Feb. 10 vs. Troy, Feb. 17 at UNT
4. Western Kentucky (9-12, 4-5): It was a glorious sight: in the midst of a nightmarish season with rumors of coach Ken McDonald's firing, Western Kentucky rolled off four straight wins. After stunning Florida Atlantic in front of a "whiteout" crowd in Boca Raton, WKU was .500 in league play and had five straight home games looming. The Hilltoppers were back from the dead… that is, until a loss to South Alabama last night at Diddle Arena. Old habits returned for Western Kentucky. All of the positive energy had vanished, the Jaguars lit up WKU from beyond the arc and point guards Jamal Crook and Khalil McDonald regressed after playing commendably during the four-game winning streak.
Up Next: Feb. 5 vs. ULM, Feb. 10 vs. MTSU, Feb. 12 vs. UNT
5. Florida International (9-13, 4-6): Talk about a feel-good story gone wrong. Isiah Thomas's fresh roster won its first three SBC games before dropping six straight games, all by 10 points or less. FIU finally broke the slump with an overtime win at Troy last night, but even that win was difficult. The Golden Panthers lost their lead in the final minute of the extra period by fouling Regis Huddleston on a three-point attempt. DeJaun Wright bailed FIU out with a layup in the final seconds, helping Florida International avoid the East cellar.
Up Next: Feb. 5 at FAU, Feb. 10 vs. ULL, Feb. 12 at MTSU
6. Troy (5-17, 3-7): It's quite amazing that Troy has two of the league's best guards in Vernon Taylor and Mo Weathers and still can't climb out of the basement of the Sun Belt East. Coach Don Maestri doesn't have the necessary depth to run his up-tempo style this season, and they've especially struggled on the road. Last weekend's win at Louisiana-Monroe was the Trojans' first road win.
Up Next: Feb. 10 at USA, Feb. 12 vs. Denver, Feb. 17 vs. MTSU
1. Denver (11-11, 7-2): The Pioneers can't win when they don't make threes. It's that simple. When Denver runs Joe Scott's offense to perfection, it's a thing of beauty. All five players act as interchangeable parts, sharing the ball from side to side and taking only the most open of jumpers. When that offense isn't running smoothly and the threes aren't falling, though, Denver can't win. Consider DU's loss to Middle Tennessee two weeks ago. It made just three shots from beyond the arc in a loss to Middle Tennessee after inexplicably attempting just six threes. And when Denver went cold in the second half against UALR last night, it allowed the Trojans to grab the lead with a 16-1 run.
Up Next: Feb. 5 at ASU, Feb. 10 vs. FAU, Feb. 12 at Troy
2. North Texas (16-7, 5-5): There was talk in December that North Texas could run the table in the Sun Belt. Now, the Mean Green are simply hoping to finish above .500. They've lost three straight games and look nothing like a team that starts five seniors. Coach Johnny Jones is struggling to find quality depth on his bench, especially in the frontcourt. The top six scorers on this team are seniors, and all have made multiple trips to the NCAA Tournament. There's no reason for North Texas to sit at 5-5 and lose at home by double-digits, as it did last night to FAU. In that loss, Josh White played poorly and SBC leading scorer Tristan Thompson barely played in the second half for unknown reasons. It's panic time for North Texas, and the clock is running out on the seniors who entered the year as the league's consensus favorite.
Up Next: Feb. 10 at UALR, Feb. 12 at WKU, Feb. 17 vs. USA
3. Arkansas-Little Rock (13-11, 5-4): Last week, an initial 11-0 deficit against Arkansas State doomed UALR at home in a 75-64 loss. Last night against DU, another poor start had coach Steve Shields' experiencing déjà vu. Fortunately for him, his team responded by frustrating Denver's offense in the second half and getting just enough stops in overtime to stay in the hunt in the West. Now just two games out of first place, Arkansas-Little Rock needs to steal a few games away from home.
Up Next: Feb. 5 at ULL, Feb. 10 vs. UNT, Feb. 12 at ULM
4. Arkansas State (12-13, 6-4): The league's most inconsistent team took another weird turn this week with a loss at 4-17 Savannah State. It's a good thing the game didn't count toward ASU's league record, because the loss was ugly in every sense of the word. The game wasn't even as competitive as the 67-61 margin suggests, as Arkansas State shot 35 percent from the field and trailed the entire way. The Red Wolves can beat anyone at home in Jonesboro, but they're an entirely different team on the road. The winner of the West will likely be the team that figures out how to play in unfamiliar environments.
Up Next: Feb. 5 vs. Denver, Feb. 10 at ULM, Feb. 17 at ULL
5. Louisiana-Lafayette (7-14, 4-5): Bob Marlin can rest easy. His team beat rival Louisiana-Monroe at home, it upset North Texas and now sits just a game under .500 in Sun Belt play. Point guard Josh Brown's return from injury has been one of the catalysts in a recent four-game win streak, and freshman forward J.J. Thomas is starting to blow up. He's scored in double-figures in five ULL's last eight games and went for 28 in a win at South Alabama this week.
Up Next: Feb. 5 vs. UALR, Feb. 10 at FIU, Feb. 12 at FAU
6. Louisiana-Monroe (6-18, 1-9): There's no question that ULM is the Sun Belt's worst team. Playing in the more difficult West Division with a rebuilt roster, Keith Richard's first season here wasn't tailor made for success. The Warhawks at least fought MTSU last night to the final minute and narrowly lost to Arkansas State on a free throw by Martavius Adams with six seconds to play a few weeks ago. That's called progress in our book.
Up Next: Feb. 5 vs. Denver, Feb. 10 at ULM, Feb. 17 at ULL

Gateway CFO Solutions, LLC is a B2B service provider based in St. Louis, MO. We offer CFO (Chief Financial Officer) services to small businesses. Our clients range from startups to $20,000,000 in annual revenue, and are in construction, manufacturing, ecommerce, real estate, retail, payment processing, and others. We help small businesses that need the expertise and tools that a CFO can bring to their business, but do not need the very high cost of a full-time senior finance employee. This expertise and service usually includes cash management, finance and accounting oversight, budgeting, process improvement, financial planning and advisory services, cost analysis and reductions, banking relationship management, assistance with financing projects, and IT development.
(GatewayCFO.com is our current website that we will be redesigning once the logo project is completed.)
Our current target market is business owners in the St. Louis, MO metropolitan area with annual revenues at or below $20,000,000. We do very well within manufacturing and construction, although these are not the only industries we serve. We intend to expand our demographic reach and as such do not want to promote our St. Louis presence too heavily. (Thus, do not include any graphics of the St. Louis Arch.)
Our company name serves two purposes. Locally, "Gateway" is seen as an identification with St. Louis and that our business does work on a local basis. Nationally, we want "Gateway" to be perceived along the lines of the definition of the word meaning "something that serves as an entrance or a means of access: a gateway to success." So, please do not use anything that represents an arch or the St. Louis Arch in the logo.
The logo should embody the concept that our solutions are the "gateway" to business value, peace of mind, and profitability. We don't want the logo to look cartoonish, and do not want any dollar signs in the graphics. The logo should imbue a sense of strength, stability, and forward momentum, with a hint of conservativeness. As for colors, we would like blue to be the predominant color and would invite you to be creative with additional complimentary color(s). And of course, the logo needs to be very professional looking. That said, we are not interested in a typical accounting or CPA firm logo, which are almost always boring and stagnant.
Thanks very much for reviewing our contest, and we look forward to seeing your designs and providing prompt feedback!

In a recent article on MSNBC's site entitled "13 Everyday Ways to Avoid Cancer," Richard Laliberte provides a dozen and one ways to decrease your chances of getting cancer. He begins the article with some great advice:
1. Filter your tap water
"You'll reduce your exposure to known or suspected carcinogens and hormone-disrupting chemicals. A new report from the President's Cancer Panel on how to reduce exposure to carcinogens suggests that home-filtered tap water is a safer bet than bottled water, whose quality often is not higher—and in some cases is worse—than that of municipal sources, according to a study by the Environmental Working Group. (Consumer Reports' top picks for faucet-mounted filters: Culligan, Pur Vertical, and the Brita OPFF-100.) Store water in stainless steel or glass to avoid chemical contaminants such as BPA that can leach from plastic bottles."
We wrote about the President's Cancer Panel's report back in May. The 240-page report listed several different contaminants, and explained how they could enter not only our water, but also our air and soil as well. As Laliberte points out, the Cancer Panel recommends that you filter your tap water at home with a faucet water filter. The use of reusable water bottles to carry this water with you, such as the Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Water Bottle, is also advised.
We carry the three faucet filters recommended by Consumer Reports that Laliberte mentions in the MSNBC article. The Culligan FM-15A Faucet Filter and PUR FM-3700 Faucet Filter were named best buys by Consumer Reports. The Brita OPFF-100 (also known as the Brita On Tap Faucet Filter) is also one of our more popular faucet water filters.
Most tap faucet filters install with little to no tools. Installing a water faucet filter is one of the easiest ways to filter your home's drinking water. Be sure to read the rest of the article for a dozen more ways to avoid cancer!

As the media tries to call this race over, it's worth noting that not only is this not the first time that the media has declared the McCain campaign dead. It is also worth noting that Senator McCain's underdog role is nothing new to him, and he has a pentiant for pulling off upsets just as he's being counted out. In fact his odds in this race are remarkably good compared to other challenges he has faced in his life…
Now, as he presses against the strongest political headwinds in many, many years, he's trying to follow his own advice. Looking back to the early days of the campaign, John Weaver told me that McCain, politically, was "facing a Category 1 hurricane" when he began his race. Now, Weaver says, "it's a Category 5."
Despite it all, McCain pushes on, propelled by a drive most people just don't have. I remember traveling to Iowa in the fall of 2007, after McCain's campaign meltdown had left him in dreadful financial straits. We were going to the farthest reaches of northwest Iowa, near the Minnesota border. McCain was staying in a Holiday Inn Express in the middle of nowhere — when you walked out the door, the smell of fertilizer got your attention pretty quickly — and he was traveling around in a minivan because his bus had broken down. He spent his days talking to small groups — sometimes really small groups — in diners and pizza joints.
He was 71 years old at the time, wealthy, with a safe and senior spot in the Senate and a career that few, if any, public servants could match. On top of that, his campaign had blown up in an explosion of mismanagement and bad feelings that had many political insiders and journalists writing its obituary. And yet there he was, plugging away, every day, animated by something that is unique to his character.
And why shouldn't he feel that he can overcome just about anything? This is a man who has dodged death — real death, not political death — many times. There's more to the story than his enduring five and a half years as a prisoner of war — just look at the fuzzy old black-and-white film of McCain on July 29, 1967, leaping off the refueling probe of his jet after it had been struck by a missile on the deck of the USS Forrestal. It was one of the worst disasters in Navy history, killing 132 men. McCain, miraculously, walked away from it. On one of those trips around Iowa, sitting in the back of his bus — after his campaign found one that worked — McCain described the days after the Forrestal fire. He was at a meeting in which the commanding officer asked if anyone would like to volunteer to transfer to another carrier, the USS Oriskany, which had itself undergone a fire, although a less serious one. Describing himself as if he had been an outside observer, McCain said that he saw his hand go up to volunteer when he could have sought out a less dangerous assignment; on that day in Iowa, 40 years later, he still seemed a little surprised by what he had done. But off he went, and it was from the Oriskany that he took off on the mission that led to his capture and imprisonment, events that would inform so much of his subsequent political career.
The lesson is that McCain is always searching for something new to overcome. Of course he would rather not be facing quite so many political adversities at once, but he is a man who, if he makes it out of one scrape, puts himself in position for another.
And now, he's doing it again. "How many times, my friends, have the pundits written off the McCain campaign?" he asked a crowd in Wisconsin on October 10. "We're gonna fool 'em again. We're gonna fool 'em one more time." A few days later, in Virginia, McCain described the forces arrayed against him and declared, "My friends, we've got them just where we want them." People in the audience laughed. But in some sense, deep inside, McCain meant it.

The Fuel Rims are cast and forged wheels that provide an optimal combination of price, looks and performance. The ruggedness of off-road wheels, required both by the rough use they are subjected to, and the way off-road wheels must be styled to go with the styling of the vehicles, combine to make casting the best way of manufacturing off-road wheels. The metal structure is not as dense in castings as in forged wheels, but the slightly thicker dimensions of profiles and spokes in off-road wheels do not require the same metal structure as extremely lightweight and extremely designed show-, racing- or road-wheels. The high quality casting, machining and finishing processes used by Fuel provide you with the best and most stylish off-road wheels on the market at a very competitive price. To finish off the style of your vehicle and add even more aggressiveness to its front-end, the brand also offers you a wide range of the high-end Fuel grilles expertly designed to complement the look created by the rims.
Ordered some new rims and tyres for my Ford Courier last week. John went above and beyond to get a great price and also the right style, size and fitment for my fussy requirements. The wheels turned up fitted and balanced and looked a million bucks. I couldn't of asked for a smoother transaction and a better guy to deal with. Thanks a million.
Had been looking at wheels for ages wanting to get great look/fitment. Called up Autocraze and spoke to Mo, he was awesome. Knew his products and put my mind at ease about the fitment. So I got my wheels and tyres (for a great price!) and I'm super happy!
AutoCraze were absolute legends to deal with when I was buying my Speedy Outlaws. Delivery to Queensland was unbelievably quick! Had the wheels fitted within a week of first making contact. Highly recommend!
The fellas at Autocraze helped heaps with the new wheels! Ordered them online and they arrived at my door 2 days later!! Awesome work fellas, cheers for all the help! Will definitely shop here again
Found the boys at Autocraze, top of the class, needed some rims for my Mustang and Mo had it all sorted. Their after sales support was fantastic too, highly recommend the guys, they are true car enthusiasts and take their time with your rims and their machinery is world class!
Awesome service, great people to deal with. Very professional and delivery was quicker than expected.. Also the car looks great, couldn't be happier. Thanks guys.
Ordered some rims and tires from these guys. Shipped Friday arrived Monday, great to deal with over the phone and the product you order is everybit as good in person. Already recommended to several friends.
I'm a simple man so I like my wheels not too flash. A lot of the wheels are black these days but I love my chrome. Was recommended these and it fit the bill. Really loving how it stands out from far away but not too flash.
Pros: great looking wheel, strong, first wheels since steelies Cons: might not be as good as steelies, if it cracks in the outback im screwed. Havent tested it offroad yet but so far so good.
Been around to lots of shops around and have to say autocraze is the best out of the lot of them. honest good customer service, didnt force me to buy what they wanted to sell, just asked me for what I wanted. best bunch of blokes. 5/12
booked in with autocraze. Lifted 2" ironman lift kit, nitto 2657017 and the mavericks. Absolutely stoked about the result, def coming back to autocraze.

Lindiwe Suttle – singer, songwriter and model – in interview
(Autor/ Editor: Ghassan Abid)
Deutsche Interview-Zusammenfassung:
Lindiwe Suttle ist eine US-amerikanische und südafrikanische Bürgerin, die einen äußerst bunten Werdegang vorzeigen kann. Die Stylistin arbeitete anfänglich mit mehreren Superstars wie Beyoncé and Ciara zusammen. Ihre Arbeit war durchaus herausfordernd – sagt sie – da nicht viele VIPs ihre Person in punkto Make-up und Haare verändern woll(t)en. Denn Styling kann letztendlich als Kritik zum eigenen Stil aufgefasst werden. Und dennoch verspürte die Tochter einer südafrikanischen Mutter den Drang nach kreativer Selbstverwirklichung. Sie arbeitete einige Jahre im US-Modemarketing, kündigte ihren Job und wanderte nach Kapstadt aus, wo sie den Modeeinkauf ausübte. Im Anschluss lebte sie im Rahmen einer Beziehung in Hamburg, welche zerbrach. Diesen Schmerz verarbeitete sie in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Produzenten Benni Dernhoff auf künstlerischer Weise – beginnend als Leadsängerin der Jazz-Hip-Hop-Band "The Collective Imagination", dann mit Unterstützung des Düsseldorfer Rockmusikers Marius Müller-Westernhagen als Solokünstlerin.
Mittlerweile konnte sich Lindiwe Suttle – eine Powerfrau mit afrikanischen Werten und amerikanischer Prägung – als Sängerin, Songwriterin, Artistin und Model etablieren. Vor allem die Musik, welche sie seit 2007 professionell betreibt, bedeutet ihr sehr viel. Diese bezeichnet sie als "Kern für alles". In bekannten Magazinen wie Elle, Vogue, Cosmopolitan oder GQ wurde Suttle abgebildet. Genauso warb sie für die Marke Frazer Parfum, worüber sie sehr glücklich ist. Lindiwe Suttle betont, dass sie eine große Bindung zu ihrer südafrikanischen Heimat hat. Dementsprechend kooperiert sie bewusst mit südafrikanischen Designern wie Lara Klawikowski, Kutloano Molokomme und Cleo Droomer. Auf diesem Wege trägt sie zur Internationalisierung der südafrikanischen Fashionszene bei. Auf die Frage hin, wie man die gesellschaftspolitischen Probleme Südafrikas angehen sollte, beantwortet die Sängerin diese mit einem Angebot an guter Bildung. Für 2012 steckt sich Lindiwe Suttle große Ziele, nämlich die weltweite Aufführung von mindestens 40 Shows zu ihrem Debütalbum Kamikaze Art.
Lindiwe Suttle's "MAN MADE MOON" (debut single)
2010sdafrika-editorial staff: We welcome on "SÜDAFRIKA – Land der Kontraste" – the German Gateway to South Africa – Ms. Lindiwe Suttle, model and singer. May you please inform the readers where you come from and where you are based at the moment?
Answer: I was born and raised in USA to a South African Mother and an American Father. I was raised with traditional African values in a very American surrounding. I lived a very different lifestyle than my American friends. My mother taught me the values she learned from her grandparents.
I have lived in Cape Town in South Africa for the past nine years. Cape Town is an important city to me and I consider it my home. It is dear to my heart because this is where I launched my music career, which is significant in my life.
2010sdafrika-editorial staff: You worked in the fashion industry with superstars like Beyoncé and Ciara. Which moment has changed your mind to switch over into self-expression?
Answer: Being a stylist is a hard job. At the time many films were coming to Atlanta, my hometown. I was lucky singer Beyonce was the first big star I worked with, she was kind and humble to me even with all my beginner mistakes. I worked with other celebrities after her that were a little less forgiving.
The job of a stylist is challenging because everyone thinks they have great style. A makeup artist or hair stylist is seen to have a professional skill but style goes deeper it touches ones character. Not many people are open to changing their personal style like they would a hairstyle or wearing a different shade of lipstick. Style suggestions are more personal, almost like a criticism to their character. In the end, I realized I excelled best at expressing my own personal style. I use fashion on stage in my theatrical shows, elaborately styled music videos and photo shoots. I love playing with fashion, it's an expression of all my characters. The music is the core of everything and everything else is just extra to make it more visual.
2010sdafrika-editorial staff: You are known as model, especially in South Africa. Magazines like Elle, Vogue, Cosmopolitan or GQ have reported about you. What does the South African fashion style represent?
Answer: I have been lucky to model for brands like face of Frazer Parfum and I was the face of the Woolworths beauty campaign. I never took the job as a model serious till I was in front of the camera. I give respect to models, it's a tough job knowing the right angels for your face.
There is an abundance of talent in South Africa. The challenge now is getting the designers international exposure. I have been a big supporter of local talent since I have lived here. I credit them for getting my into Vogue Italy and helping me win style awards like Glamour Magazine's Women of the Year – Style Icon and the 2010 SA Style Award. I have a great relationship with many South African designers, Lara Klawikowski, Kutloano Molokomme, Cleo Droomer all create costumes for my shows.
2010sdafrika-editorial staff: Additionally to your model job, you are performing as singer. Isn´t it an unusually combination? How could you combine both professions?
Answer: I have been a singer, songwriter and performance artist since I began my music career in 2007. I started out in business and after my MBA I worked in the fashion industry in fashion marketing, merchandising and eventually styling celebrities. I moved out of the entertainment business and moved to SA wanting to focus on my own goals. I worked in fashion buying in Cape Town for a couple of years and I learned a lot about the retail but felt too restricted in the corporate environment. I quit my job and that was when I found music again.
2010sdafrika-editorial staff: We took notice, that are you in contact with Germans in artistic matters. Which impression do you have of Germany?
Answer: After I quit my corporate job I moved to Hamburg Germany for a relationship that eventually went bad. This relationship was a catalyst for me to starting writing lyrics all inspired by this love gone wrong. I worked in studio for the first time with Hamburg producer Benni Dernhoff. We created me first demo that I took to SA. I auditioned as lead singer of The Collective Imagination, a jazz-hip-hop band and performed for one and half year with them. I launched my solo career end of 2009. I was discovered by German legend, Marius Mueller-Westernhagen and his wife Romney. They have been my big support in my music career. One year later, Marius connected me with Tim Renner and Motor Music, my management company. Motor Music introduced me to producer, Ivan Georgiev. Ivan and I worked on my debut album, Kamikaze Art all of 2011.
Lindiwe Suttle and the jazz-hip-hop band "The Collective Imagination"
2010sdafrika-editorial staff: South Africa is in German media mostly in context with negative headlines. Which are the biggest problems of this young democracy and what should politics and society do?
Answer: I think it is important to redesigning the current educational system to better prepare our youth for a prosperous future in the global market. I would love to build a free skills training school in each community for all ages. There would be a variety of free classes offered like leadership classes for adults, arts for children, cooking, and sports. I think a good education is the first step to a better South Africa.
2010sdafrika-editorial staff: Which dreams in private and professional view would you like to realize?
Answer: My biggest goal in my life is to stay healthy and happy without these two things nothing else can happen in your life. In music, I want to perform worldwide and tour my debut album, Kamikaze Art. My goal is perform at least 40 shows in 2012. I want to take Kamikaze Art to audiences around the world and have them experience my live shows with me. My music comes from the heart and I feel it is the most open and honest I have been about the experiences in my life.
2010sdafrika-editorial staff: Lindiwe Suttle, model and singer, thank you very much for this interview.

Chanel Pre-Fall 2012 Collection
by Alexander Patino
How to begin to discuss one of Karl Lagerfeld's collections for Chanel? With almost 80 looks that walked down the runway in Paris' Grand Palais space for Chanel's pre-fall foray, Uncle Karl doesn't make it easy. Much like Jason Wu's collection the day before, the Kaiser was inspired by the maharajas, but where Wu only glazed over the sensuous trope, Lagerfeld imbued it with muscle – well, Parisian muscle, which in layman's terms means, well – French chic grandeur.
Rajasthan, the land of kings and colors, was the designated aesthetic post, the models coming down the runway in imperial garbs, their tresses in knotted tangles of braids, crystal embellishments on everything from the straps of the must-have purses, to the fingerless gloves, to the cuffs and plankets on the house's signature tweed jackets. One of the most oriental touches had to be those hip-hugging yoke skirts that recalled those swaying Lurex beauties Nicolas Ghesquiere played with for Balenciaga way back in fall 2009. They felt especially Jodhpur by way of Paris when paired against those red and blue color-blocked knits. But nothing here was quite as lush as those opening tweeds swathed in strings of pearls that came strewn on any place they could go, covering waists, collars, even the trims of pockets.
The principality touches were especially experimental with the white trompe l'oeil leggings, or were they boots? Hard to tell where one ended and the other began. But for all its regal essence, it was that one pink perforated eyelet long sleeve dress on Daphne Groeneveld, which had nothing to do with India, that was Chanel's wonder among wonders.

Max ClarkeStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Dean Del Mastro Conservative Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise today to pay tribute to a truly great Canadian, retired Brigadier General Max Clarke, who passed away last week.
Brigadier General Max Clarke was a man of great courage, honour and integrity whose love of country was only surpassed by his love for his wife, Madeline, and their three children, Henry, Maxine and Arthur, along with his many grandchildren.
In joining the Canadian Forces at the age of 15, Max carried on a Clarke family tradition of service to country. At the age of 27, he voluntarily left his position at Quaker Oats to join with the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders for World War II deployment in Europe. Later, he rejoined his comrades of the Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment in service in Italy and the Netherlands.
Max Clarke lived a long time. He lived to see the 90th anniversary of Vimy Ridge and the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands. The march-by of the Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment that he once commanded with honour bears the title "I am 95", as was Max Clarke when he died.
From failing hands Max Clarke has passed the torch. May his service and sacrifice never be forgotten and may he rest in peace.
GuluWalkStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Mauril Bélanger Liberal Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, the GuluWalk was held on October 20 and it was a great success.
GuluWalk is focused on supporting the children of northern Uganda. The original GuluWalk started with just two people in July 2005 and has now grown into a worldwide movement for peace.
This year's 200 participants in Ottawa helped raised over $500,000 worldwide for children's programs in this conflict ridden region of Africa. I would like to congratulate the Ottawa GuluWalk organizing committee, and especially Ms. Lama Hammad and Mr. Étienne Grandmaître Saint-Pierre for their hard work.
We in Canada owe it to the Ugandan population to help promote a peaceful solution. In highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis, I invite the Commonwealth heads of government gathering in Uganda this week to support peace and the re-establishment of civil society in a healthy and sustainable manner in northern Uganda.
Let us join in the push for peace. The children of Gulu and northern Uganda deserve no less.
Frédéric CoutureStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Robert Vincent Bloc Shefford, QC
Mr. Speaker, the position of the Bloc Québécois on the mission in Afghanistan remains clear: Canada must withdraw its troops from Afghanistan in 2009. Until then, this mission must be rebalanced: more humanity, more dialogue and less fighting.
Today, however, it is with great sorrow that I rise to mark the death of Private Frédéric Couture, from Roxton Pond, a young soldier who was full of ambition.
Private Frédéric Couture, 22, took his own life after returning home a few months ago having lost a foot in a mission in Afghanistan. He showed much courage and determination in the army, which he considered his second family.
I would like to offer condolences, on behalf of the Bloc Québécois and my colleagues, to his grieving family, friends and loved ones.
Child CareStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Denise Savoie NDP Victoria, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative child care policy has failed working families. The Prime Minister talks about giving parents choice, but tens of thousands of parents are stuck on long wait lists. They watch fees rise out of reach or their local day care centres close because the centres cannot find or afford qualified staff. What choice do these parents have?
Working parents know the importance of quality child care for the healthy development of their children. What about their choice?
Today's vote on my Bill C-303 is crucial. The bill would guarantee affordable, high quality early learning and child care that working families need and want and that Conservatives could not take away.
I ask all Canadians to join me in telling the Conservative government to stop restricting parents' choices and standing in the way of our children's futures.

Mr. Speaker, on November 3 I hosted an informal round table gathering in my riding of Lambton—Kent—Middlesex with the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. The minister spoke with a group of individual farmers about the agriculture industry as a whole. The minister listened intently and heard firsthand what the constituents of my riding had to say on issues facing the farmers of Ontario.
I am proud to represent a government that truly cares about our farmers. In the past 21 months our government has delivered more than $600 million in federal assistance to the farmers in Ontario alone. This is good for the agriculture industry and it is good for the consumers to know that they have a government that works with farmers to provide safe, secure food.
The constituents of Lambton—Kent—Middlesex and the rest of Canada can be confident that their government fully supports them and will always put farmers first.
Support our Troops RallyStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Paul Zed Liberal Saint John, NB
Mr. Speaker, Don and Laurie Greenslade from Saint John lost their only son, David, on Easter weekend when he was tragically killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.
Together with their family, friends and neighbours, they started a red ribbon campaign about the importance of supporting our troops.
The Friday support rally held September 28 in Saint John with thousands of New Brunswickers attending was a real tribute to David and all of our brave soldiers.
Members of this House united as one by helping the Greenslades support the troops and their families by donating flag pins for this important event. The generosity of members of Parliament has made us all very proud.
The Saint John rally was a huge success and highlights the sacrifice made by our Canadian troops. Forty thousand pins and ribbons have been given away since Easter in Saint John and with this House's support, this worthwhile project will continue.
The Greenslade family has asked me to thank members of the House for their support and to remember to wear red on Friday for David and for our soldiers.
Going Carbon NeutralStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Michael Chong Conservative Wellington—Halton Hills, ON
Mr. Speaker, the citizens of the village of Eden Mills are taking the lead in combating climate change, evidence of which the IPCC has said is unequivocal and the threat of which UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said is the defining challenge of our age.
These citizens have plans to reduce the village's carbon emissions by 20% in year one alone and plan to be the first carbon neutral village not only in Canada, but in North America.
Inspired by the lead of Ashton Hayes, a village in the United Kingdom, Eden Mills is not only reducing carbon emissions, but also aims to emit no more carbon than is absorbed by nature.
This grassroots initiative to tackle the urgent issue of a warming planet is being done because citizens have told me that they want our children and our grandchildren to know that we not only cared, but tried to do something.
I ask all members of the House to support their call to face humanity's biggest challenge. I am proud to represent these citizens in the Canadian House of Commons. I encourage all to learn more about this important project at www.goingcarbonneutral.ca.
World Television DayStatements By Members
November 21st, 2007 / 2:10 p.m.
Pauline Picard Bloc Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, today we are celebrating World Television Day, as proclaimed by the UN in 1996 to encourage cultural and global exchanges of television programs with a focus on peace, security and social development.
Bill C-327 introduced in June by the hon. member for Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie will help regulate violence on television to provide young people with access to healthy television.
According to a study by the Centre for Media Studies at Laval University, acts of physical violence on television have increased 286% in 10 years and 81% of the acts of violence are seen on programs that start before 9 p.m.
On November 19, during World Day for Prevention of Child Abuse, the Centrale des syndicats du Québec issued a public statement to say that television broadcasters are not being responsible enough.
Saskatchewan PartyStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Carol Skelton Conservative Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar, SK
Mr. Speaker, armed with an optimistic vision and principled values, a vibrant Saskatchewan Party leader Brad Wall earned the confidence of the people of Saskatchewan and led his party to a majority government, proving that hope can conquer fear.
It took innovative ideas, a plan for economic growth and a great deal of hard work for Mr. Wall and a respected team of candidates to pave the way to victory.
This evening Saskatchewan is ushering in a new era as premier-elect Wall and his cabinet are sworn in as the new Government of Saskatchewan.
At this historic moment, my colleagues join with me in extending our hearty congratulations to Saskatchewan's new government as it navigates a steady course in fulfilling the promise of Saskatchewan.
Best wishes to the new Saskatchewan government for every success in carrying out its mandate and fostering a constructive relationship with the federal government and in building an even brighter future for the people of Saskatchewan.
Atlantic AccordStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Michael Savage Liberal Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Mr. Speaker, the government has little respect for the people of Nova Scotia or their elected representatives.
For well over a month, the opposition has been waiting for a briefing on the proposed changes to the Atlantic accord. On four occasions the Conservatives cancelled that briefing. Just yesterday a meeting scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. was abruptly cancelled again by the minister, even though his own officials along with the entire Nova Scotia Liberal caucus and the member for Cumberland—Colchester—Musquodoboit Valley were present.
Yesterday during question period the finance minister said he cancelled it because, "It is, as I say, complex and still being drafted". Less than 15 minutes later, the government House leader got up and contradicted the minister and said they were prepared to table the legislation.
It is little wonder Canadians do not trust those people. They cannot keep a commitment. They cannot even coordinate their excuses. There are words and lots of confusion being thrown at Nova Scotians to try to convince them they are getting a good deal. The explanations are complicated and unclear.
The people of Nova Scotia have a simple, clear, four word message to the Conservatives: Honour the Atlantic accord.
Régiment de la ChaudièreStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Steven Blaney Conservative Lévis—Bellechasse, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Régiment de la Chaudière distinguished itself as one of Canada's most glorious infantry units on the beaches of Normandy in 1944 and is carrying on that tradition in Afghanistan where many of its members are currently deployed.
On October 21, Quebec's Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable Pierre Duchesne, presided over the changing of the royal and regimental colours in Lévis.
The Régiment de la Chaudière, which includes the Chaudière-Appalaches reservists, garrisons in Lac-Mégantic and Beauceville, and a detachment in Thetford Mines, is headquartered in Lévis.
After 43 years, the regiment's colours will be placed under the care of Marcel Alain, curator of the military museum in Lévis, where they will adorn the ceiling, reminding people of the regiment's impressive history, which deserves to be remembered and passed on.
These military accomplishments are what Canadians, particularly Quebeckers, are known for.
I invite all parliamentarians to join me in paying tribute to those who have served and are currently serving under the colours of the Régiment de la Chaudière to protect our values and keep peace in the world.
Truer than steel: Aere Perennius.
Home Support ProgramStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Penny Priddy NDP Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize the many people in Surrey North who are looking after aging parents, spouses and other family members.
Caring for a loved one at home can mean greater dignity for people who have made a lifetime of contributions to their families and communities, but it can also require great sacrifices.
Sometimes these sacrifices are so great, people are forced to choose a care home over home care. I have heard pain in the voices of people telling me of loving marriages split up by the difficult decision to place their spouse in a facility. I have seen tears from those who could no longer carry alone the responsibility of looking after those who require extra care.
Today, only those with significant financial resources have choices available to them, but there should be options for everyone regardless of income. Home support is less expensive than long term care. It is more humane and it is the right thing to do.
I call upon the government to show leadership in this area and help to deliver a national home support program now.
Sikh CommunityStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Gurbax Malhi Liberal Bramalea—Gore—Malton, ON
Mr. Speaker, this week, the Sikh community around the world will celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
Born in 1469, he travelled the world to spread his message of equality, hard work, honesty, charity, community and devotion to God.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught that all humanity is one and that the good of the community must come before our individual wants and desires. His forward-thinking ideas have stood the test of time and continue to inspire his followers today.
I ask all members of Parliament to join me in extending the best wishes of the House to all Sikh Canadians celebrating this auspicious day.

I'm not overly excited about this week's Daytime Emmys. I could be fluffy and say it's because they moved the ceremony to L.A. several years ago and I don't get to go and to buy a dress, and to me (I attended here in New York 23 years in a row) the Daytime Emmys was always about The Dress. But the truth is, daytime drama, which I've spent most of life my loving, is a collapsing industry, and I just don't feel very celebratory. Glitz and glam be damned, wouldn't the time and money spent on the Emmys be better spent gathering everyone in the industry together to meet and intelligently discuss finding a way to put Humpty Dumpty back together again?
Oh well ,brighten up, Marlena! Friday night is the Emmys broadcast (8 p.m. EDT on ABC) and you must make award picks. As Irving Berlin wrote [Read more…]

|ORLANDO, Fla. -- Infielder Nick Punto agreed Wednesday to a $3 million, one-year contract with the Oakland Athletics following a little more than a season with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Punto's deal, announced Wednesday, calls for a $2.75 million salary and includes a $2.75 million club option for 2015 with a $250,000 buyout. The option could become guaranteed based on days on the active major league roster next year, not including time on a disabled list.
The 36-year-old was acquired by the Dodgers from Boston on Aug. 25, 2012, as part of the nine-player trade that sent Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez to Los Angeles. Punto hit .255 this year with two homers and 21 RBIs in 116 games.
He has a .248 career average with Philadelphia (2001-03), Minnesota (2004-10), St. Louis (2011), Boston (2012) and Los Angeles.
Punto had a $1.5 million base salary each season under the two-year deal he signed with Boston and earned $250,000 annually in roster bonuses by being active for at least 150 days.

Jon Stewart is bringing his Bill O'Reilly beef to the host's home turf -- Fox News.
The "Daily Show" comedian-turned-news anchor will face off this week with conservative pundit Bill O'Reilly on the host's Fox News hit program, "The O'Reilly Factor," the New York Daily News reported Tuesday.
Stewart's appearance, his second on the Fox News program, will be spread over Wednesday and Thursday's episodes of "The O'Reilly Factor." His last appearance on the program was in September 2004.
U.S. & World
The faux-host has made his livelihood from poking fun at talking heads like O'Reilly, whose show promises viewers it is a forum for unbiased, "no-spin" journalism.
The O'Reilly-Stewart feud has been splashed across both hosts' programs: Stewart and O'Reilly battled in 2005 over what Stewart alleged was a misuse of a "Daily Show" clip by the Fox News host, while O'Reilly recently attacked Stewart just last month for standing by Obama despite what he called obvious failings.
O'Reilly has appeared three times on "The Daily Show" -- his last spin in Stewart's guest chair was in November 2008.
"The O'Reilly Factor" has consistently topped the ratings of not only Fox News but of TV's entire cable menu, topping out at over 4 million viewers, a feat for cable news, the NYDN reported.
The face-off is expected to include discussion about the Obama administration and media bias, according to the Daily News.

Gothic art collection returns to Marble House
NEWPORT, R.I. -- Marble House oozes decadence, from the 22-karat gold leaf decorations to the Corinthian columns at the front entrance to the lavish ceiling paintings of Greek gods.
But for more than 80 years, the Gilded Age mansion has been without one of its most treasured features: a collection of more than 300 pieces of Medieval and Renaissance art.
The wealthy Vanderbilt family bought the works in Paris and displayed them for years on the red-silk walls of their mansion's Gothic Room. After the house closed in 1925, the items were sold to art collector and circus entrepreneur John Ringling. Today, they belong to a Sarasota, Fla., museum bearing the Ringling name.
Now, Newport visitors can see the items in their original setting. The John and Mable Ringling Museum has loaned the collection to Marble House through Oct. 31. The items -- paintings and sculptures, busts and furniture -- have been reassembled in the Gothic Room and displayed exactly as they were 100 years ago.
The Preservation Society of Newport County operates the Marble House and other Newport mansions as public museums.
"I think that most people who know the Gothic Room always thought it was a very pretty room, and then you have these 300 objects added to it, and you go, 'Oh my God, it was bare before,'" said Trudy Coxe, the Preservation Society CEO. "But, we didn't know that until the objects were added."
Marble House is one of the most popular Newport mansions, palatial summer homes built for wealthy industrialists in the late 19th century that rank among New England's most-visited attractions.
Inspired by Greek architecture and the Petit Trianon at Versailles, the home was completed in 1892 for railroad heir William K. Vanderbilt and his wife, Alva, a lover of art and culture who collected Renaissance art at a time when not many Americans did.
In 1889, the Vanderbilts and architect Richard Morris Hunt traveled to Paris to find art and decorative pieces for the home. They acquired the Gothic collection of French architect Emile Gavet and sent it to Newport.
The collection is varied and vast. There are 15th century Italian paintings depicting battle scenes; painted terra cotta busts; assorted copper and silver chalices and candelabra; intricately detailed French dressers showing stories from the life of Jesus and Greek mythology; and a case of wax portrait medallions bearing the likenesses of such dignitaries as King Henry II of France and Popes Benedict XIV and Clement XI.
A highlight of the collection is "The Building of the Palace," a 16th century Italian painting showing men busily constructing a mammoth structure. The painting is by Florentine artist Piero di Cosimo, who was believed to have contributed to the Sistine Collection.
"You could spend a whole day in here and not grasp everything," said Erin Marshall-House, 33, of New Bedford, Mass., who was browsing the collection while vacationing in Newport one morning. But, she also said the aesthetic seemed a little over-the-top.
"This room was made to look like a museum," she added. "You can't live and be comfortable in a museum."
The Gothic Room, a reception room decorated with stained glass and a mantelpiece, was created to display the collection. Alva Vanderbilt opened the room to the public, but closed Marble House in 1925, moved to France and put the art up for sale. Ringling, of Barnum & Bailey Circus fame, bought the works in 1927 for $125,000.
Many of the items have been displayed at the Ringling Museum, but others were in storage. Preservation Society staff had long discussed displaying the collection, and Virginia Brilliant, the Ringling Museum's associate curator for European art, said she made a loan agreement a priority soon after joining the museum.
The Ringling Museum relocated most of the collection to Newport, though some items were too fragile to travel and are replaced at Marble House by to-scale photographs. Archival photos helped Preservation Society staff know exactly where Vanderbilt hung each piece.
"You can, for all intents and purposes, walk in and out of that room and know that she's there," Coxe said.
Brilliant said it was poignant to see the works in Marble House and that she's open to leaving some items there long term. But, she said, history can't be undone.
"When you talk about the rightful place of an object, then everything should have to go back to the church it was made for, or the home it was made for," Brilliant said. "Art changes hands. That's just the nature of life and collecting."
Coxe said she'll be sad when the collection is returned.
"If I had my druthers, they would forget that they loaned them to us and we would have them forever. But I don't think that's going to happen."
