Tottenham could look to negotiate a swap deal with Fiorentina involving Vlad Chiriches and former Manchester City defender Stefan Savic, according to reports from The Express.
The Romania international was one of the multiple arrivals during Spurs' £110m spend last summer, and like many of the signings made he has failed to impress.
WANT MORE? >> Tottenham transfer news | Latest transfer news
A niggling back injury has prevented the 24-year-old from being a first-team regular since he completed his £7.5m switch from Steaua Bucharest, but his agent says that the defender is not keen to stick around and force his way into new manager Mauricio Pochettino's plans:
"Did you see how little he played? I believe he will not remain in England." Florin Manea said.
"I think he will go to Fiorentina."
Manea went on to confirm that Tottenham are tracking Savic, which could open up the possibility for an exchange:
"Tottenham? I understand they're interested in Savic."
Savic spent one unsuccessful season in English football with City, before leaving to join La Viola in 2012.
He has since thrived in Serie A, developing a reputation for his reading of the game and all-round defensive abilities.

Ships, such as aircraft carriers, are "instruments of national significance", said Wu Xiaoguang, chief designer of China's first domestic aircraft carrier. The country has achieved great progress since 2012, he said. On April 26, China launched its first domestically developed aircraft carrier in Dalian, Liaoning province, according to the Ministry of National Defense.

Today iHeartRadio threw a bunch of stats into a press release to let you know how fast it's growing. Though the numbers seem big, they may not stack up against some of iHeartRadio's biggest competitors.
iHeartRadio says it has a total of 60 million registered users and almost 90 million unique visitors across its network. The company also says that its iHeartRadio app has been downloaded 500 million times.
Comparatively, music streaming service Spotify just announced last week that it has 60 million active users — note: "active," not just "registered." Meanwhile, Pandora says it has 76.5 million active users.
iHeartRadio, which connects users to radio stations across the country, is owned by iHeartMedia — formerly Clear Channel Radio. The media entity changed its name last September in an attempt to appeal to a younger audience and combat the negative reputation associated with its name (in short, the company was caught receiving kickbacks from major record labels for playing music from certain artists).
Perhaps the best indication of iHeartRadio's success lies in the difference between its registered users and the total number of people who have downloaded the iHeartRadio app. Of the 500 million who have downloaded iHeartRadio, only 60 million have actually registered.
It's worth noting, however, that you don't have to register with iHeartRadio to use its app. The only time users have to register is when they use the custom station feature.
Meanwhile, iHeartRadio claims it's growing "faster than any other radio or digital music service — even faster than Facebook." We reached out to iHeartRadio for more details, but the company declined to share total active user numbers.
In contrast to its competitors, iHeartRadio doesn't have a paid option; the service is entirely free. iHeartMedia makes its money by serving you ads — and maybe that's why it may not be seeing the growth that Pandora and Spotify have seen. Both Pandora and Spotify offer ad-free options that people are willing to pay for. Meanwhile, iHeartRadio is, in many ways, just repackaging an old music distribution model.

White Nights Black Paradise, A Religious Utopia Turned Nightmare

- The service having id "buzz" is missing, reactivate its module or save again the list of services.
The last time an African American lesbian was the protagonist in a novel was in Ann Allen Shockley's 1982 "Say Jesus and Come to Me." What shocked and awed readers about this main character is that she is also an itinerant minister. While crusading against street vice in Nashville the Reverend Myrtle Black meets world-famous R&B songstress Travis Lee who joins the crusade. Their girl crushes on each other are both profoundly spiritual and powerfully sexual that neither can ignore. And neither could readers ignore the author's apt and scathing critique of the Black Church's misogyny and homophobia. For decades Shockley's novel was every black lesbians Bible—myself included.
But the book leaves you with the following queries to do more than merely pray about: Should the Black Church continue to have such a central role in the lives of African Americans given its very toxic androcentric ecclesiastical paradigm that systematically still bars many of us-straight or LGBTQ-ascendency to the pulpit? Can African Americans find liberation in the ever present accommodationist phase of the black church that sells out its social gospel message of justice for conservative faith-based initiative dollars?
Whereas Shockley's fictional tale gives—especially African American LGBTQs—unproved reasons and unfed hope to stay in the Black Church, other than its familiarity, Sikivu Hutchinson's historical gothic novel "White Nights, Black Paradise" gives us all reason to leave religion entirely.
For centuries, the paradigm of leadership in the African-American community has been the Black Church with its homophobic and sexist yet charismatic gay preacher, (i.e., Bishop Eddie Long). Hutchinson's novel disturbingly shows the complexity of a repackaged and unexamined black religious idealism espoused from the mouth of a white megalomaniacal messiah alongside the harsh reality of a supposed utopia. Based on the true and horrifying story of the charismatic Reverend Jim Jones, the Peoples Temple and Jonestown massacre, Hutchinson novel is both a reckoning and remembering of the lives lost -the largest religious murder-suicide in American history.
The majority of its black congregants were women, while its core leadership was predominantly white as too is the historical records and visual optics of the event. And as in the Black Church, black women were "the backbone" of Peoples Temple. Sadly, the majority of Jonestown's victims were African American women, too. And the haunting question is why did so many black women die?
"Unpacking why so many black women died in Jonestown requires taking a critical look back at the

Visual content marketing, when executed well, can be an incredibly powerful tool that will help increase engagement and attract links to your website. Moreover, visual content can help improve online visibility and inform audiences about your brand's story.
People pretty much expect visuals to come with content these days—so give it to them. In fact, last year, 53 percent of marketers said that they publish content containing visuals between 91 and 100 percent of the time. So if you're still not including visuals in your content, time to hustle; your audience might start scrolling down more and completely ignoring your posts if they see nothing but text.
When it comes to the most popular type of visual content used by marketers, stock photos rule. While all's well and good with using stock photos, it can also lead to having incredibly boring visuals, or pictures that everybody has already seen dozens of times before. So if you must use stock photos, use them wisely.
If you're looking for increased engagement, infographics are known to get the highest ratings. Using originally-sourced information and data, and then presenting them through an eye-catching visual that shows a little humor or your brand's unique personality can do wonders for your popularity on social media.
Speaking of creating your own visuals, the most effective marketers are those with excellent time management skills. In a recent study, it was found that an overwhelming majority of marketers spend only five hours a week making visuals. This means that there's really no "right" amount of time to spend on creating infographics, memes, charts, and other visual content; you need to know what or how much time will give you the most ROI. If you're spending too much time making marketing materials and not getting a return, cut back; if your visuals aren't getting the response you want, then spend more time on development so they can be more compelling.

A recipe for disaster
Property purchase is not straight forward and an overage payment (an agreement that a sum is paid over and above the basic purchase price if and when certain conditons or contingencies are fulfilled) adds to the complications. Such clauses are often added late in the day and the terms may be negotiated by advisers under pressure to conclude the deal. A recipe for disaster and sadly, litigation can ensue.
In Walker v Kenley and another [2008] EWHC 370, if the purchaser of a hotel obtained planning permission for a development of "residential flats", an overage payment was payable to the hotel's vendor in respect of each flat sold. The purchaser obtained planning permission for 17 apartments subject to a condition that they be used "for holiday accommodation only". Did holiday apartments amount to "residential flats"? The court held the words, given their natural meaning, meant flats which an occupier would consider his or her residence and there was nothing in the circumstances of this case which led to the conclusion that the words would include a holiday apartment. Is that what the parties meant? We will never know.
It should be remembered that evidence of negotiations is not accepted by the courts. As Lord Wilberforce explained in Prenn v Simmonds [1971] 1 WLR 1381, this is because the position of the parties change until a final consensus is reached and that consensus is then recorded in the written agreement.
Nevertheless, the House of Lords ordered rectification of the wording of an overage agreement in Chartbrook Ltd v Persimmon Homes Ltd [2009] UKHL 38. Lord Hoffman stated that the wording used by the parties is paramount but there must be some exceptions to this rule if a mistake is made in recording the deal done. For instance, the words used may be capable of more than one meaning or the parties might have given during their negotiations, a particular meaning to the words used or the wording used does not reflect the agreement reached. In such cases, the courts might consider rectification and then, said Lord Hoffman "All that is required is that it is clear that something has gone wrong with the language and that it should be clear what a reasonable person would have understood the parties to have meant."

The most common custom rabbit diets are those with a standard diet base and added cholesterol. Typically, the added cholesterol ranges from 0.25% to two percent. Additional fat can also be a feature of these formulas. To preserve pellet quality we recommend no more than six percent additional fat. Added fat is most often supplied as peanut oil, corn oil, coconut oil, or a combination. We recommend the Teklad base diets 2030 or 2031.
Rabbits do not readily consume purified diet. When specific nutrient manipulations are necessary, hybrid diets or at least some alfalfa meal inclusion is recommended. Contact us for formula examples or to discuss your specific needs.
Most often, customized diets for swine feature natural ingredients with added fat and cholesterol. Here are three variations on this theme:
We recommend these diets in meal/powder form, as pellets are not very durable. Other natural ingredient and purified diets with various nutrient manipulations are available. Contact us for further information.
The most common custom Guinea pig diets are those with a standard diet base (such as Teklad 2040 or 2041) and added cholesterol.
Guinea pigs do not readily consume purified diets, so when specific nutrient manipulations are necessary, hybrid diets (mixture of refined and natural ingredients) are recommended. At the very least it is advisable to retain some alfalfa meal in the diet. Contact us for further information.
Most times, diets that are developed for mice and rats are suitable for hamsters and gerbils, and vice versa. We may advise increasing specific nutrients in a purified diet for hamsters and gerbils. Contact us for further information.
Depending on the focus of your research, customized diet for non-human primates can contain natural ingredients, refined ingredients, or a mixture of both. Custom diets for primates often feature adjustments in fat type, fat level, and cholesterol. Contact us for further information.

Safety Gate
Works well - sorry that is all I am going to say on the subject
Baboo - Apr 03,2017
Great value, sturdy, easy assemble, good looking.
I have a 20lb. Bichon who bolts out the front door, this has proven to be the best to keep him safe. Fits perfectly in the hall way. Thank-you for a great product.
Keith - Apr 03,2017
Needed a wider size
Never thought installing a gate could be so complicated, but after a visit to our local specialty store I got a little education and understanding that not all homes are built the same. Our walkway between the kitchen and family room is 46" wide and I've learned that most pressure mounted gates only go from 32" to 36". This gate was a perfect choice and is extra tall with an automatic closing door. Exactly what we needed.
Big Daddy - Apr 03,2017
Good for the whole family
We installed this gate between our dining room and kitchen. Being extra tall it serves a dual purpose to keep our grandson and retriever out of that room. The automatic closing door is very convenient after passing through the gate. Nice product.

Two people were arrested Saturday night after a pursuit incident with Hamlet police.
A Hamlet police officer was parked at the intersection of Starke and Indiana Streets when a person driving a motorcycle disregarded the stop sign and continued to travel through the intersection at a high rate of speed. The officer pulled into the intersection and a second motorcycle skidded to a stop at the intersection. The officer spoke to the subject and asked him to stay where he was and took off in pursuit of the other motorcycle driver.
The officer saw the motorcycle headed out of town at a high rate of speed, but the driver finally came to a stop near the intersection of 500 North and 700 East. Officers were able to take the driver, Dale Wireman, into custody. Once in custody, he attempted to fight with officers three different times. He attempted to struggle with police when officers were trying to put his seat belt on while in the squad car. Wireman had to be tazed in order to gain compliance.
The second motorcycle driver, Christopher Bradley, fled the scene but was later located by a Starke County Sheriff's deputy and arrested near U.S. 35 and State Road 8. His motorcycle had run out of gas.
Dale Wireman was arrested on preliminary charges of Resisting Law Enforcement as a Class D Felony and as a Class A Misdemeanor, as well as Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated – Endangering, Reckless Driving, Disorderly Conduct, and Possession of Marijuana. Christopher Bradley was arrested on preliminary charges of Resisting Law Enforcement and Reckless Driving.

I love these. I have only one, and it's kind of stretching the definition of cabin. There's one out there that has a device that allows smoke to curl out of the chimney. I'm sure it's unsafe and toxic, but that won't stop me if I find one.

If you're anything like me, you don't even like to think about numbers that high. Yet research shows that not only are we making upwards of 35k decisions every day, but our decision making processes actually get worse as we continue to make decisions throughout the day. (source).
Contrary to popular opinion, good lives are not just dropped into the laps of some people and unjustly robbed from others. Good lives are, in general, created from a series of good decisions in the past and the present.
As my grandfather always told me: for 90% of our lives, we are just as happy as we choose to make ourselves.
Good decisions make for good lives.
So to improve our lives, we must begin to improve our decisions.
Here are some traits of incredible decision makers.
Nonnegotiable, Unalterable Terms Of Service
Compromise is important in all things.
Relationships, business, even where we want to go out to eat can all be subject to someone else saying that they would prefer something else.
And when it comes to the relatively unimportant things in life, compromise is, well, pretty unimportant. No one is going to turn into a serial killer because they wanted to eat Mexican instead of Italian.
In other areas of life, compromise should be considered unacceptable. These areas vary from person to person and I give a few examples of my nonnegotiables below, but there are a few characteristics that your nonnegotiable, unalterable terms of service should have:
1) It should be something that is important to you
2) It should be something that you believe in even when faced with opposition
3) It should be unique to you, not a copy of anyone else (you're unique - that's a good thing)
4) It should be something that you believe will have a positive impact on both you and the world
5) It should be long term
Nonnegotiable, unalterable terms of service are the things in your life that you absolutely cannot bend on. These conditions are symbols of what you believe to be a good, successful, and happy life.
A few of mine are based off of the book Top Five Regrets of the Dying.
When it comes to decision making, nonnegotiable, unalterable terms of service are the basis of your ability to decide. You can only have a good view of what you will compromise on if you know what you won't compromise on.
I find it best to write my nonnegotiable terms down and keep them close; when problems arise, these serve as a constant remember of what I stand for and what I am willing to do.
These need to be the foundations of what you believe. Some other examples may look like the following:
I will do what is right for my kids, even when they disagree.
I will always use reason when evaluating problems.
I will keep my word no matter what.
Remember to make these unique to you and feel free to change them. Changing the values in your life is not a bad thing; it is a sign that you are growing and maturing into someone who can be all that they need to be in life.
When faced with easy or tough decisions, be prepared to use your nonnegotiables to start the decision making process. By eliminating the impossibles, you only leave the genuine problems to be dealt with.
The Surprising Way In Which Video Games Can Help Put Out House Fires
In my younger days of playing video games, my friends and I always had an order of succession to killing the bad guys: take out the healer first, then the highest damage dealers, then the enemies with the lowest health.
We always started with the healers because we didn't want to seriously injure a couple of baddies just to have them restored back to full health or worse, resurrected completely.
We always went to the highest damage dealers after the healers because these are the guys who really posed a problem to the team. As any good World of Warcraft player can attest, one or two shots from the high damage dealers and you're the one needing a revive.
Finally, we went for the lowest health enemies. This usually meant avoiding enemies commonly known as "tanks" that had high health, dealt low damage, and were largely just meant to distract the players from other enemies.
Believe it or not, my friends and I use this exact method when dealing with our problems in real life today because not all problems in life are created equal.
And usually, we never just have one problem at a time. It seems like when life gives out problems, it gives them out in a way where we have more than a few to spare.
Here is an ideal order of succession for problem solving in the real world:
First, deal with the root of your problems. There's no sense in only handling the symptoms of a greater dilemma.
Second, handle the most crucial and important problem at hand. Any problems that are going to overwhelm you or become more difficult over time need to be handled quickly.
Third, once you have dealt with the root of the problems and the worst problems, begin eliminating the most simple problems to get rid of. I have a rule that if nothing crucial is going on and I have a problem that can be handled within 10 minutes, it needs to be dealt with immediately.
In situations where you are experiencing multiple issues at once (roots, big problems, and lots of small pesky ones), the most effective method is to begin a situation analyses.
Analyzing the situation in depth will help you to avoid short term solutions that do not help much in the long run. You will be able to more accurately identify which problems need to be dealt with and which can be ignored.
Situational analyses have a few steps:
1) Decide whether or not a decision needs to be made at all. Is a decision now more helpful than a decision later? What are the consequences of not deciding? What is the best and worst case scenario?
2) If a decision must be made immediately, determine the greatest possible threat. What is the root of the problems you're experiencing? If no common root exists, ask what problems are causing the most damage.
3) If you have eliminated the roots of many of your problems (or your problems don't have common roots) and you have eliminated the most threatening of the issues, ask yourself what can be taken care of quickly, preferably in under 10 minutes. Do those tasks next.
4) Think ahead. If two problems can be eliminated with one solution, begin working on that solution. Think about how your solutions now can eliminate future issues.
5) If action needs to be taken immediately, take action immediately. Do something to handle problems that need to be handled right now. Your hasty actions may not be the perfect solution, but doing nothing is definitely the wrong solution.
The Ethicist's Guide To Playing Unfairly
Cheating is largely seen to be an unfair behavior and one that will get you kicked out of just about any game that you're playing, yet it is a behavior that humans undertake quite frequently.
When we cheat, it is because we view cheating as having a bigger reward than it has a risk. In research by Dan Ariely, Dan shows that people will gladly and visibly cheat when the opportunity exposes itself up to the point that it harms their character or standing with others. (source).
We cheat because we view cheating as having a bigger reward than it does a risk, but this does not mean that all things that have more reward than risk are cheating.
In fact, the things in life with great reward but low risk are the things that we must exploit to become incredibly successful. Let's use reading as an example.
When you read a book, (or listen to an audiobook) you are exposing yourself to the entire accumulated knowledge of the author on a subject. This can be 30, 40, 50 years of information, study, and wisdom.
The cost?
Often under $15, usually under $10.
Are you willing to pay $15 to have the complete life experiences of someone else on a subject?
Incredible decision makers seem to have one habit in common.
They are obsessed with disproportionate risk/reward spreads.
In the king's English, that means these achievers strive to have an excessive amount of reward for a small amount of risk. Incredible decision makers want to gain a lot and only lose a little.
Approaching life in ways here we can find limited downside and infinite upside makes for an incredible investment of time, energy, or money.
But with every decision, you must calculate the risk and reward. How much must be at risk for the reward that is presented?
Berating someone cruelly after they make a mistake probably feels pretty good in the short term, but in the long term, this can turn even a gentle soul into your enemy for life.
Complimenting, on the other hand, has very low risk but a fairly high reward: you may gain a long term friend who can help you out of disaster.
Risk and reward must be evaluated in every scenario. Judge what is at stake, what is to gain, and exploit the best opportunities. It's not cheating; you are ethically pursuing the best, most lucrative, most enjoyable opportunities.
You're basically an ethicist already.
Lay Down The Hammer (Violently)
When you are in the throes of decision making, with information swirling around you, time slowly sinking away, and the consequences becoming worse every moment, sometimes decisions must be made swiftly and with force.
When forceful decisions must be made, make them rapidly and with no remorse. When it is time to act, put the hammer down.
In Robert Greene's book The 48 Laws of Power, law number 15 "Crush Your Enemies Completely" exemplifies this.
Now we're definitely not going to tell you to crush your enemies completely on a website called Elite Happiness (lol) but the principle applies in many areas.
When you have to act, act overwhelmingly and leave nothing to chance.
Car coming at you head on?
A chance to fix a broken relationship?
An incredible investment opportunity?
A business that you know you could succeed at?
An opportunity to follow your passion with 100% effort?
When the time comes to act, act with overwhelming force.
While telling you to "act with overwhelming force" can be easy on my part, it is difficult to nail down an exact application to such a broad suggestion.
Since I think I'm not the best person to tell you how to most efficiently act with overwhelming force, here is some advice from a Navy SEAL, one of the best decision makers on the planet:
You're A Wizard, Harry
Great decision makers are some of the most low-stress people on the planet.
To explain why, I must first explain where stress comes from.
Stress is a result of the inability to cause a situation to become like you want it to become.
Whether this stems from unchanging factors (like not having more than 24 hours in the day) or from factors you can influence (how much time you spend watching Netflix instead of doing important things), stress almost always comes from situations not being as we like them to be.
Which leads to this nugget...
The best decision makers are low stress.
Because they influence the situations around them.
If a situation can't be changed, they don't worry about it.
If a situation can be changed, they change it.
Because great decision makers have nonnegotiables, have analyzed the situation, have measured risk and reward, and have acted to influence the situation to their liking, their stress levels are lower because their influence on life is higher.
Have you ever looked at something such as a dream home, a high paying salary, or your dream life, and felt like that object was so far away from you that you'd basically need magic to get it?
Good decisions, compounded over time, have such a powerful effect on your life that they are basically magic. By starting right now, today (no matter how old you are, no decision will be as important to your life as the next one you make), you have the power to positively (or negatively) impact the rest of your life.
Want to lower your stress? Begin impacting the world around you. Stop passivity, start acting, and eliminate your stress because you are a force to be reckoned with.
Want to kill stress before it starts?
Stop sticking to the sidelines. Make an executive decision.
It may be wrong. It may be silly.
But if you make enough wrong choices, eventually you'll begin to figure out what decisions are the right choices.
Then make those.
You'll change your life, become who you want to be, and lower your stress all in one.
It's the perfect solution.
Thanks for reading!
My challenge to you is to go out there and make some decisions today.
Stop autopilot.

What if Im just not built to be an Alpha Male? #WeAreTheProblem
I overthink everything to make the world a happier place
What if I'm just not built to be an Alpha Male?
All men want to be Alpha Males.
But they don't say it out loud.
Because as soon as you say "I am the winner. I am the Leader. I am Number 1"
Everyone wants to hack you down.
Only a true Alpha Male is stupid enough to not get that.
So I am a proud Beta Male.
With my limited resources, and second best chances at everything.
It's the perfect place to watch Alphas running things.
Into the ground.
For their benefit.
Because they say so.
I want to be the best Beta Male.
Which I know sounds a little bit Alpha.
But that means I'm already failing at it.
Which is completely Beta.
I'm thwarted. We're good.
I don't know which Beta Male quality I like best.
Being indecisive or not picking a choice.
They're called Alphas because they gave themselves the first letter of the Greek Alphabet.
It's also the Greek letter that looks the most like a male virile seed.
It's like a big head with a strong tail.
That thing is gonna impregnate anything.
And the Greek Letter Beta, is the flabby blob trailing behind it.
And, Alphabet?
No. Alphabet. They couldn't even be bothered to squeeze in our whole name.
And this is how low we are:
If you type "Beta Male" into Wikipedia, it redirects you to "Alpha Male".
We haven't even got our own page.
A friend came into my work for a coffee, and we bumped into an Alpha Male he used to work for.
After, Alpha asks me for the guy's contact details, to boss him around some more I guess.
"Sure." I pull out my phone to get the number.
"No. Just email it to me."
"I've got it right here."
"I'll get it by email."
If I don't give it, it's a battle, that someone's got to "win".
And if I do give it, I'm now working for this douche.
Since then he married Britain's biggest Alpha Female and got loads of beautiful kids in a stunning mansion.
But... is he happy?
Also, if I spent less time on her Instagram would I achieve more?
Probably, but that's not the point.
Women moan a lot about Alpha Male behaviour.
To Beta Males.
That's our job in Nature.
We are masters of the Friend Zone.
But then the Alphas still get the best breeding opportunities.
If only Beta Males were more assertive, maybe they'd say something like:
"I promise you, the World would change in an instant.
If you'd just stop doing Alphas for five minutes."
But we won't.
And they won't.
On the upside, I am totally owning it over the Omegas.

Be Firewise for year 7 and 8 is a level three and four fire-safety programme for use within the Science and Health and Physical Education strands of The New Zealand Curriculum.
It is designed to teach students actions they can take to prevent fires from starting, and to teach them fire-safety behaviour that could save their lives in a fire emergency.
This level 3 and 4 programme recognises that year 7 and 8 students are able to take responsibility for their own actions, and to assume some responsibility for the actions of others.
The resource is designed to be used as teacher directed units and learning experiences, or for students to learn from independently - or any combination of both.
It teaches students about:
The year 7 and 8 fire-safety education resource topics include:
While all of the Firewise programmes are designed for schools to deliver without input from firefighters, it is intended that a presentation from firefighters can be arranged. This must occur at, or near the end, of the learning programme, and serves to reinforce the students' learning. Please note, some locations do not have firefighters available for presentations.
To check the availability and/or arrange for a firefighter or Firewise coordinator to visit your class, please use the form provided

Christine Bleakley has only been on This Morning for two day and she's been left red-faced by yet another guest.
During an interview with EastEnders' star Matt Di Angelo he was talking about his manhood and covering up for filming when she caught his eye at the wrong moment.
She was left looking very embarrassed as she tried to wriggle out of the moment but Matt cheekily pointed it out.
As the 29-year-old spoke about his new role in Ordinary Lies he shared all about filming nude scenes for the saucy drama.
He had to explain after Phil pointed out that there was a cheeky mishap: "When you do the sex things you don't want to be completely stark.
"This time it was like… I need to be careful with this one. Basically, when I was shooting a film in Prague I was given a triangle with a pot of glue. I had to stick this massive triangular piece of silk over myself."
Then he turned towards Christine as he continued his story: "This time it was a silk shower hat with string… I don't know why I caught your eye then."
Making things even more awkward and strange, Matt tried to move the chat on and randomly said: "I've got to get milk on the way home."
Christine and Phil giggled away before he mentioned that it was Matt's 30th birthday coming up soon, to which he said: "[I'm] halfway to the end!"
Gobsmacked Phil then said: "What you're not going to die at 60!"
Matt then grinned at Christine telling her she didn't look over 30, which she replied: "I know what you're doing."
It comes after yesterday's show when she flirted in the kitchen with regular chef Gino D'Acampo.
As the cheeky Italian called the 37-year-old "beautiful" it had Phil himself saying he felt "awkward" being near them.

Essex, Vermont—September 9, 2011 Phoenix Books and Cafe added a new color to its palette with the launch of The Gallery at Phoenix Books. Owner Mike DeSanto says, "The addition of works from artists across Vermont positions us as an art gallery. Works by Vermont painters, photographers, and craftspeople are for sale." The Gallery at Phoenix has joined the Vermont Crafts Council, and will focus is gallery on Vermont artists and artisans. Phoenix is participating in the inaugural Foliage Open Studio Weekend on October 1st and 2nd, sponsored by the council.
Foliage Open Studio Weekend marks the grand opening of the gallery, but only the first step in what DeSanto hopes will be a successful series of art shows: "Over the next year we'll host about six art shows, each with an opening reception and exhibition."
The Gallery builds on Phoenix Books' long-standing relationship with the Essex Art League (EAL) - whose works they've exhibited since the store opened in 2007. "Phoenix Books gave the artists of the EAL an outstanding opportunity," says Michelle Jackson of the EAL. "We've made many sales - and customers have brought home original pieces of artwork to enjoy. Mike is extremely supportive, and it's wonderful to have a local place to share our art."
Phoenix Books features pottery by Vermont artisans Judith Bryant, Warren Dixon and Lynn Flory. "I've always been very interested in art, and I already own pieces by Judith and Lynn, and a painting by Essex artist Lucia Chu," says DeSanto. "The level of talent and skill is simply amazing in our own community. Vermont artists rival any in New York or Boston."
The Gallery at Phoenix Books is actively considering artists and artisans. Anyone desiring to supply works on a consignment basis should call Mike DeSanto or Colleen Shipman at 872-7111. "I'm interested in seeing some three-dimensional works as well," says DeSanto. The gallery comes highly recommended: "I'm honored to be a part of this independent bookstore," says Warren Dixon. "They creatively display my work and are extremely helpful with the logistics of selling my pottery."
DeSanto believes the commitment to sell functional and fine art puts Phoenix in a unique position among bookstores: "This is a lot more than hanging paintings by local artists on a wall, as you see in a restaurant. This is about making a commitment to artists to expand their reach into a new community. Phoenix Books stands behind this effort by featuring these local artists in our newsletter, within the store and as part of our overall marketing effort.
"You can see, taste, touch and hold everything we sell here - unlike the virtual stuff online. Having a bookstore, with a cafe offering beer and wine and displaying beautiful works of art...it stimulates all of our senses. I proudly say we're for mindful, thoughtful people - without being elitist or snooty! After all, you need to make a thoughtful choice just to visit our bookstore. I want to invite all art lovers to walk through those doors and see for yourselves how these works enhance and energize the physical space. It is quite transforming."

Skincare Editor /
Posted on
Lots of things can cause unevenness in your skin tone from environmental stress, hormonal changes, certain medications, acne and some skin disorders but in men the most common cause is sun damage, though cuts, scrapes and abrasions can also result in uneven skin tones. The easiest way to prevent this kind of pigmentation (apart from staying out of bar brawls!) is to protect skin on a daily basis with a sunscreen. Exposure to UV light can result in clumps of melanin (the skin's natural pigment) to form in the skin and can lead to uneven colouration. One of the most obvious signs of this are Solar Lentigines (patches of pigmented skin) which are often found on bald heads that have been exposed to the sun.
Of course, we automatically reach for the sun lotion in the summer but it's worth guarding against UV exposure all year round by using moisturisers like Anthony Logistics Facial Moisturiser SPF15 which contain a built-in sun screen. Apply every morning and switch to your regular, non-SPF, moisturiser at night.
When skin is patchy and uneven the fastest way to improve it is with a little exfoliation, but while using products like Aesop Purifying Facial Exfoliating Paste regularly will help with pigmentation by removing surface skin cells, in the long run you'll probably need specialist products to even out the skin tone. Many of these contain special ingredients to regulate melanin production and botanical skin brighteners which help fade discolourations.
Skin Doctors Bio Serum Intense Skin Repair Oil, for example, uses a natural ingredient called Chamomile to inhibit excess melanin production within the skin and reduce the appearance of freckles, age spots and uneven pigmentation. Worth trying, too, are Dr. Hauschka Clarifying Toner (the clue to how good it is in the name!) and Menscience Pigmentation Repair Formula which contains Hydroquinone a chemical that inhibits melanin production. Vitamins A, C and E can help too by improving overall skin health (try Menscience Omega 3 Supplements 60 caps).
If your problem areas are relatively small a good solution is to disguise any imperfections with the help of a concealer like Menaji's Camo Camouflage Stick. Using a product like Hylamide's HA Blur Face Serum can help even out over-all skin tone too as it contains light reflecting particles to diffuse light and 'blur' imperfections. Result? Instant airbrushing for the face!
Now you know how to deal with uneven pigmentation, it's time to get some well deserved rest. Check out Lesson 13: Fight Fatigue.
When I started improving my grooming routine, I was overwhelmed by the plethora of products to choose from. I quickly learnt that grooming doesn't have to be complicated. My aim is to give you an understandable breakdown of skincare, haircare and general grooming.

The Telkom Digital Gaming League (DGL) is a complicated behemoth. Player transfers are an area that's tightly regulated by the DGL (and has been for years now), although those regulations have taken different forms as time has progressed. Masters has proved even more challenging, with MGOs struggling to keep up with player transfers/movements in early 2017.
As such DGL has just removed the "Sister Team" program and completely overhauled how transfer windows work, thus alleviating a lot of the pressure on MGOs by giving them the ability to self regulate through most of the year. In line with international trends, the DGL have imposed shorter periods where rosters are locked (leading up to LAN events).
Early Seeding Changes in 2016 | Masters as a Work-in-Progress
Prior to the DGL rebrand and Masters announcement in early 2016, competitive team seeding centered around what used to be called "Core Players." In early 2016 the "Core Players" system was abandoned in favor of the teams themselves carrying the seed (with the "manager" role acting as the defacto "owner").
This system was far from perfect, with significant problems cropping up throughout 2016. In early 2017 a new problem arose, MGOs were struggling to acquire subs or reliably available players. A potential solution called "Sister Teams" was floated by the DGL to address this problem. The system was apparently in trial phase and the kinks were far from worked out. That didn't stop teams trying to use it – with problems quickly cropping up.
Sister Teams | The Ventus/Ventus Black/ArmaGeddon Connection
"Sister Teams" appeared to be a rather interesting idea. Step 1, Master's MGO #A and Premier Division team #C sign some sort of agreement. Step 2, Masters MGO provides "big-brother" support to Premier Division team. Premier Division team then provide backup substitute players for the Masters team in return (outside of the rules in place regarding official transfer periods) in the event the Masters team requires emergency backup.
On the 23rd of February 2017, Ventus played a scheduled Telkom DGL DotA2 Masters fixture against Energy eSports. Instead of the five contracted players that had been playing in the league for Ventus thus far, a wild batch of five new players suddenly appeared in their place to compete against an understandably bewildered Energy team.
The new players were alleged to be from Ventus Black, who were then a 1st Div. team. Apparently Ventus Black was the designated "Sister Team" for Ventus Masters. Remember, at this point, very few people have even heard of "Sister Teams", and the game went ahead. Further investigation revealed that Ventus transferred 5 players from ArmaGeddon (a then random Ladder Div. team with no Ventus affiliation up to this point) into Ventus Black just minutes before the fixture.
The spirit of this system was meant to provide backup at the top, and development at the bottom. Why was this problematic? Here are a few points on that:
- 1. Ventus Black were not a Prem Div team, they were only in 1st Div (and were not about to get promoted anytime soon). Ventus had 2x Prem Div. teams at that time that should have been used (in line with early rulesets). Why didn't they use those?
- 2. Ventus Black players were not even used. Only the incoming players transferred from ArmaGeddon into Ventus Black, minutes before the fixture, were used.
Transfer Rules and Regulations | What Now?
So with "Sister Teams" not quite working as intended, and the majority of Master's MGOs in desperate need of player transfers not even halfway through the transfer-locked first leg, the stage was set for DGL to go back to the drawing board. After a significant amount of time ironing out the details, the resulting changes appear to be a well-grounded and innovative blend of old and new, with more than a few pages taken from the international esports scene. I've summarized some of the most important changes below:
- Masters team rosters will now operate as team sheets, which are complete personnel lists of all associated MGO support staff and players. Support staff include coaches, managers, co-managers, and organizers. Players fall into three groups; players, reserves, and substitutes. Only listed players and support staff are eligible to participate in DGL related fixtures (regardless of the transfer period).
- All core Masters players must have signed contracts with their MGO in order to participate in Masters fixtures. Core players are any players that play more than 33% of a Masters team's fixtures in one Leg/Season. These players can only be contracted to one Masters team at a time. Teams can have up to a maximum of 15 contracted core players on their books. In order to move to another MGO, core players will need to have their contracts terminated by their existing MGO before moving to a new MGO. These player transfers can happen at any time throughout the year, provided it is not a Roster-Locked period.
- The Roster-Locked period has been significantly reduced. Masters team's are only under roster lock from 40 days immediately preceding Day 1 of an official DGL Masters event/tournament, and ends 24 hours after the final day of that same tournament concludes. If the DGL DotA2 Masters LAN takes place from the 19th – 21st of May 2017, the Roster-Locked period would essentially be from the 9th of April up to the 23rd of May 2017.
- Making emergency lineup changes during the Roster-Locked period remains an option, should MGOs require emergency or unavoidable player transfers. Such transfers would incur severe punitive penalties imposed by DGL on MGOs unable (or unwilling) to comply with these new standards.
- Players who are competing in 2nd Div., 1st Div, or Prem Div. are still bound by their respective league's specific transfer windows, and as such can only move to a Masters MGO during an open transfer period. This only applies if these players are being recruited as core players/reserves (i.e. will potentially be playing more than 33% of the Masters team's games during that Leg/Season). This means that players cannot be core players for both a division team and a Masters team at the same time. However, this is where the substitute clause comes in. In my opinion, this is the Play of the Game.
- A Masters MGO may now also use uncontracted substitute players. A player in a Masters MGO is defined as a substitute if they do not play more than 33% of that team's fixtures over a single Leg/Season. Substitute players, once used by a Masters team, cannot move to another Masters team for two weeks. Masters teams may use no more than two uncontracted substitutes in any given match. Substitutes may play for other teams in other DGL divisions. This means that a core player or reserve from a Prem Div. team can also be an uncontracted substitute player for a Masters MGO at the same time. These substitutes must just ensure they don't play in more than 33% of fixtures in a single Masters Leg/Season. Consider this example, Player A is in Prem Div. Team X and Masters Team Y at the same time. Is Player A allowed to…
- Play 100% of the matches for Team X, and 30% of matches for Team Y during Leg 1? Yes. Substitute rule applies.
- Play 20% of the matches for Team X, and 30% of matches for Team Y during Leg 1? Yes. Substitute rule applies.
- Play 100% of the matches for Team X, and 40% of matches for Team Y during Leg 1? Negative.
- Play 20% of the matches for Team X, and 100% of matches for Team Y during Leg 1? Negative.
Final Thoughts | Trial and Error
The interesting changes regarding substitutes, reserves, and players (and their interactions between Masters and the divisions) may finally play out the way the DGL had hoped "Sister Teams" would have been used. It's an interesting fix to the problems that cropped up earlier in this year, and they've clearly drawn upon all their experience over the past few years to put together something that, on paper, seems uniquely capable of standing up to international standards and our own unique local competitive landscape. MGOs are afforded more freedom over their rosters for most of the year, but during critical run up periods to DGL events some stability is ensured (great for DGL, but a positive for players as well).
These changes seem pretty solid, but we'll have to see how teams adapt. The changes look good on paper, but the real tests will occur over the coming months. We should wait and see how long it takes before Ventus finds a way to exploit what loophole they can find this time!
Today (Thursday 4 May 2017) marks the last day teams can make roster changes leading to the upcoming Telkom DGL DotA2 Masters LAN in JHB later this month, after which the new roster lock periods will come into play in future tournaments.

Significant investment to undertake major works that will transform the Ben Street residential area. Providing quality homes to help meet large housing demand in the city.
The Ben Street neighbourhood in Clayton holds significant potential to improve and expand the housing offered in the area.
Demand for homes has risen in tandem with Manchester's massive population growth. Many residents are finding it more difficult to get on the property ladder. The need for high quality rental properties has also been driven up.
The major works will start early 2018. The scheme will include full refurbishment of 62 currently vacant properties that the City Council has recently acquired from The Guinness Northern Counties. As well as facelift works to another 151 properties, with other improvements to the street and public areas. Including works to the shared alleyways.
The project will be carried out by leading housing maintenance provider Wates Living Space. When finished, the empty homes being refurbished will be managed by One Manchester. Which will be affordable to Manchester people. Using the Manchester specific definition of affordability.
The refurbishment works will bring the 62 empty homes up to decent homes standards. With re-roofing works carried out by Presidio Roof with some of the best Eavestrough and Siding Installers, energy efficiency upgrades, new fully-fitted kitchens and bathrooms. While flooring and carpeting were looked to after researching meticulously from websites like https://www.thermalchem.com/industrial/. That followed with alarm systems, and fire and smoke detection systems.
The facelift works to the front of properties will, where needed, replace all existing windows and doors with modern UPVC, improve guttering. And clean brickwork before repointing the mortar.
Alleyway improvements will include removing overgrown vegetation. New gating to all properties and essential repairs to the alleyway walls.
New traffic calming measures will be introduced following resurfacing works in the area. Narrowing the carriageway that will be subject to a 20mph speed restriction. New trees will also be planted and new car parking developed.
One Manchester will also be purchasing a further five empty properties to further enhance the Ben Street area. Which it will refurbish and manage.
As a second phase to the scheme. A vacant site currently owned by Manchester City Council on Alpine Street and Ilk Street will make way for around 55 new family homes. Work is expected to start on site in two years.
Dave Power, chief executive of One Manchester, said: "Working together with the city council means we can bring these much-needed former homes back into use. We want to make sure our residents will have a home in a growing and thriving area. That they can rent for the long term."
Anyone who is interested in renting a property can register their interest via the One Manchester website.

* U.S. job additions better-than-expected in March
* Trump says trade deal to be announced within 4 weeks
* BofA Merrill expects S&P to rise above 3,000 in 2nd-qtr
* Futures up: Dow 0.34%, S&P 0.26%, Nasdaq 0.38% (Adds comment, details, updates prices)
By Sruthi Shankar
April 5 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures jumped on Friday as employment growth in March accelerated from a 17-month low, easing concerns of a domestic slowdown, while hopes of a U.S.-China trade deal added to the sentiment.
The Labor Department report showed nonfarm payrolls rose by 196,000 jobs last month, above economists' estimate of 180,000. Data for February was revised modestly up to show payrolls rose by 33,000 instead of the previously reported 20,000.
Average hourly earnings rose 0.1% in March, after jumping 0.4% percent in the previous month, while unemployment rate held steady at 3.8%.
The report adds to fairly upbeat construction spending and factory numbers that led Wall Street banks to boost their growth estimates for the first quarter.
"A mixed but overall very solid jobs report. The healthy bounce back in hiring last month should help to quell recession fears," said Joe Manimbo, senior market analyst at Western Union Business Solutions in Washington.
"Still, weaker wage growth suggests the Fed's December rate hike may have been its last in the current cycle."
The Federal Reserve last month suspended its three-year campaign to tighten monetary policy, increasing market expectations of an interest rate cut.
However, the latest job numbers gave traders little reason to reprice expectations for a rate cut in 2020.
Also adding to the upbeat mood was President Donald Trump's comments that the U.S. and China were close to a trade deal that could be announced within four weeks, potentially easing concerns about a months-long tariff war that has clouded global growth.
Trade hopes and a dovish Fed have helped push the S&P 500 to its highest since Oct. 9, putting the index less than 2% away from an all-time high of 2,940.91 points.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch said the index would scale new highs above 3,000 in the second quarter, fueled by gains in bank and oil stocks, before peaking out.
At 8:55 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were up 90 points, or 0.34%. S&P 500 e-minis were up 7.5 points, or 0.26% and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 28.75 points, or 0.38%.
Among stocks, Intel Corp slipped 0.9% after Wells Fargo downgraded the chipmaker's stock to "market perform" from "outperform".
Viacom Inc rose 2.5% after RBC Capital Markets upgraded the company to "outperform".
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc climbed 3.6% after Morgan Stanley upgraded the company's shares to "equal-weight" from "underweight," saying that the emergence of activist investors will create upside for the stock in the near term.

(Video: Making conversation with a babbling 7-month old baby)
If your baby hasn't yet, she will soon discover her own voice and all the funny and loud sounds she can make. Most babies start to babble "baba-baba" around 6 months.
One of the best things you can do for your baby's development right now is to tune into her vocalizations, let her talk, and then have a "conversation," making space for your baby to respond.
My baby is making so much noise when we are supposed to be quiet!
As embarrassing as it is, when you're on the plane, in church, or somewhere where everyone else is quiet, find soft verbal and non-verbal ways to acknowledge your baby's vocalizations by talking, touching, smiling, and looking at her face.
But my baby is screeching so loudly!
If your baby is making loud screechy noises (most babies start to do this between 6.5 and 8 months), know that this is totally normal. Child development professionals actually refer to this as an important cognitive stage. Your baby is learning that she has a voice and that adults will respond to it.
The most important thing to know is that responding to your baby's sounds (even if they are screechy) will make it rewarding for her to keep developing her language. Soon the screeches will turn into words!

Member Blogs > Journey of a BooksellerLies that Bind: A Cotswold murder mystery by Stella Cameron
Thu, 27 Apr 2017 08:30:00 PermalinkAlex has hired a young boy to be a bus boy for her pub. He works hard, does what he's asked to do, and helps wherever he can. He responsible and trustworthy. When his younger brother busts through the kitchen door to tell Scoot he found a dead body, Alex listens carefully. Kyle is only thirteen and she asks them where their father is. He's a long haul driver is on the road. Come to find out, the boys are on their own a lot. He's trying to earn enough money to send them to college. But right now, he's gone and they need help...
Severn House and Net Galley allowed me to read this ebook for review (thank you). It will be published June 1st.
This turns into a mix of more than one crime. Murder is one, the other is illegal trafficking. As Alex and Tony try to keep the boys safe and taken care of, they are also trying to figure out where the father is and why he is gone so much and who killed the woman. There are no easy answers. Then someone kidnaps the younger boy while he's at work at Tony's veterinarian shop!
It seems there one more crime that was shoved under the rug in the past. When another young boy turns up dead, they're afraid it was Kyle but it wasn't. Who killed this young one and why?
The ending on this story is abrupt and alarming. There's no closure after the shocking ending and I'm not sure I liked that. It did get my attention, though. Tell me what you think about it...

NEW LONDON, Conn. — The Coast Guard Academy has begun a process of increasing security measures on base. These changes are the first of several measures expected to be implemented in the coming months. Some changes will be visual, while some may not be visible.
On Feb. 25, the Academy will install new equipment to adjust traffic flow into the main gate. Large security planters will be placed at the second entrance to the main gate, preventing vehicular traffic from entering the main gate through that entrance. All traffic must take the first turn to enter the main gate in a single lane from Mohegan Avenue. Signs will indicate where vehicles should stop as they approach the main gate to facilitate proper vehicular vetting and 100 percent identification check.
Additionally, retractable spike strips will be installed in the exit lanes from the Academy onto Mohegan Avenue. All vehicles departing base will need to proceed over the strips at five mph to prevent tire damage. All commercial traffic will be directed to the Deshon Street entrance at all hours.
The change will not affect base access for home athletic competitions, Coast Guard Band concerts, other major on-base events, or emergency vehicles. A valid need and proper identification are always required for base access.
"We are informed by national and world events and are constantly assessing our security posture," said Academy superintendent, Rear Adm. James Rendon. "These security measures are designed to safeguard our community and deter adversaries from doing harm on board the Academy."

Some Helpful Tips And Advice For Auto Shoppers
Mary Bruns
August 7, 2013
Buying a car is not something that you should take lightly. Car shopping can be about picking out a car that you like, of course, but keep in mind that the car you choose has to protect your family in the case of an accident, and has to be able to get you where you need to go. Here are some wise suggestions to consider when car shopping.
Have a clear understanding of what those upgrades will cost you. Purchasing the fancy stereo, leather seats and DVD player might be appealing, but those options can add a significant amount to the price of your car. Take some time to think about how much you really need the upgrades, and only purchase the ones you will use the most.
Rather than buying a brand-new car, purchase a lightly used one that is only a couple of years old. Many cars come with transferable warranties that last for three years or 36,000 miles. You will save a significant amount over buying new, and the warranty will give you peace of mind for the first year or so.
When buying a used car, a great way to tell if the car has been in an accident is to look into the door frames. Usually when a car is repainted, you will notice over spray in this area. This is not proof that a car was in an accident, but it will let you know it was repainted.
When buying a used car, be very careful about how clean the car is. Many car salespeople have professional cleaners who can make a piece of junk look brand new. Always get the car checked by a mechanic. Even if it looks fantastic, a mechanic will be able to spot any major issues.
Research the value of your trade-in. Not only do you need to research the best price for the new car you would like to purchase, but you also need to know how much your trade-in is worth. Do your homework and find out the retail and wholesale values of your trade-in. Aim to get the retail value from the dealer.
Watch out for the car salesman who offers you a price on a car before he visits his sales manager. The salesman will tell you anything you want to hear, but only the manager can approve the deal. Ask to speak to the manager face to face and see the deal on paper before committing to purchase the car.
Research is the key to being a happy car owner. With a budget in mind and a list of cars you want, you can begin to delve into which vehicle is right for you. You should be aware of any negative reports on the vehicles you have in mind. Know its safety ratings and value to help you negotiate a good price.
Once you have found the perfect car, ask for a vehicle history report. A vehicle history report will list any instances that the vehicle has been involved in. If your dealer does not offer this service, you can purchase one yourself online for a nominal fee. This report will help you avoid purchasing a car that has been in a wreck.
Ask to bring in your own mechanic. It should be one that you trust. Never use the mechanic the dealer suggests. Having a mechanic there isn't to drive the price down or to intimidate the dealer. It's only to ensure that the car is worth buying.
Don't fold to pressure. The salesman doesn't want you to walk out of his dealership, so he will tell you whatever it takes to get you to sign a contract at that moment. Ignore him. Do what is best for you, and if you need to have some time to think about it, take the time you need.
Your car is a big part of your life. You need a vehicle that can help you to get around, keep you safe, look good, and save you money. The choice you make will be with you for a long time, so it is important that you do what you can to make sure your choice is a good one. Use the tips here and you will be sure to make the best choice for you.

Emmitsburg, Md. (January 26, 2019) – Mount St. Mary's University celebrated the careers of Bryan Cole (C'01), Beth Foster (C'04), Mychal Kearse (C'07), Aaron Price (C'98), and Josh Vittek (C'08) with their induction into the Athletics Hall of Fame on Saturday as part of a ceremony at Dillon Fieldhouse.
Bryan Cole | Class of 2001 | Men's Lacrosse
A fierce competitor, Cole led the Mount men's lacrosse team to a pair of Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships during his four seasons with the Mountaineers. The Mount's all-time leader in ground balls (421), he finished his career with 69 goals and 31 assists for 100 points in 67 games played. As a senior, he set the Mount's single-season record by winning 68.8 percent of his face-offs (192 of 279), which was good for second in the nation that season. After his senior season, Cole was selected to play in the prestigious USILA North-South All-Star game. He went on to become an assistant coach for the Mountaineers from 2002-04.
Beth Foster | Class of 2004 | Women's Basketball
A two-time All-Northeast Conference performer, Foster is one of the top rebounders in the history of the Mount St. Mary's women's basketball program. Finishing her career with 1,225 points and 770 rebounds, Foster broke onto the scene her sophomore season, averaging a double-double with 15.8 points and 10.0 rebounds per game. Named All-NEC Second Team on a pair of occasions, Foster finished with 20 career double-doubles for the Mountaineers. She averaged a career-best 16.0 points per game as a junior, shooting 57.0 percent from the field while adding 9.3 rebounds per game. Foster also ranked in the top-five at the Mount in career blocks.
Mychal Kearse | Class of 2007 | Men's Basketball
A two-time Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Year, Kearse will go down as one of the toughest players in Mount history. Kearse led the Mount in rebounding all four seasons with the Mountaineers, and his 725 career rebounds are second among all Mount players in the school's NCAA Division I era. Kearse finished his career with 1,060 points, averaging a career-best 11.5 points per game as a senior. Kearse was a key figure in helping lead the Mount's resurgence under head coach Milan Brown. As a senior, he led the team to its first NEC Tournament win in seven years. A sign of his work ethic, he tore his ACL at the end of his junior season, but came back in just six months and was in the starting lineup in the season opener at West Virginia.
Aaron Price | Class of 1998 | Track & Field
Price excelled in both the classroom and on the course for the track and field program at the Mount. As a senior, he was named the winner of the Mount's Monsignor John L. Sheridan Award in 1998, which is awarded to a student athlete, who through athletic and academic achievement, has exemplified the spirit and dedication demanded by intercollegiate athletics, and through such activity, has fostered the ideals of Monsignor John L. Sheridan and the Mount. He was the Northeast Conference's Scholar Athlete of the Year for both indoor and outdoor track as a junior, and was a repeat winner for the outdoor season as a senior. Price excelled in both cross country and track and field for the Mountaineers, earning 11 All-Northeast Conference honors in his four-year career. He twice earned All-NEC honors in cross country, and he had nine All-Conference honors in track and field. He earned First Team honors on seven occasions in track and field (four indoor and three outdoor), while adding a pair of All-NEC Second Team honors in outdoor track. He still is ranked in the Mount's all-time top-10 in the mile, 3000m and 5000m indoor, and the 1500m and 3000m outdoor.
Josh Vittek | Class of 2008 | Baseball
Holding the Mount's all-time record for home runs, Vittek will be remembered as one of the top players in school history. As a senior in 2008, he led the Mount to its first NCAA Tournament appearance, hitting .377 with 20 home runs, 16 doubles and 64 RBI. Vittek was named the NEC Tournament MVP after hitting .458 with four home runs and 12 RBI while leading the Mount to four straight wins out of the loser's bracket and to the tournament title. In the championship game, he drove home an NEC Tournament record six runs while going 4-for-4 with a home run in the Mount's 14-2 victory over Monmouth to give the Mount its first-ever bid to the NCAA Tournament. Vittek broke 13 records at the Mount, and still holds school records in hits, runs scored, home runs, RBI, doubles, games played, at bats and total bases. Named All-Northeast Conference (First or Second Team) in each of his four seasons at the Mount, he was the league's Rookie of the Year as a freshman in 2005. Vittek finished his four-year career with a .335 average, 44 home runs, 60 doubles and 175 RBI in 195 games played.
