Thomson Reuters, a fabulous research group, stated a price target of $68.00 on WageWorks, Inc. (NYSE:WAGE) shares. After exploring various basics, EPS is foretold to come at $1.40 for the next fiscal and $N/A for underway quarter.
Valuation Estimates
The P/E ratio of WageWorks, Inc. (NYSE:WAGE) stands at 95.66. The second constituent that analysts assess is Price/Earnings Growth ratio. Shares with lower PEG ratio are favored by investors. For WageWorks, Inc. Common Stock, this ratio for approaching years is 2.88.
Possibly one of the most usually applied stock valuation mechanism is the 'price-to-earnings' ratio. This everlasting prophesier of proceeds has been useful for ages for market forecasters and still prevails to be one of the significant tools of valuation. A P/E can disclose the equity's latest market value and its evaluation in contrast to industry group or an identified benchmark. Investors will find that a knowledge of this term is precious in correctly connecting to other participating specialists.
For example, a business owner generates $20,000 in profit yearly, and she is planning to sell shop for $400,000. The quoted price is $400,000, so P/E ratio of her business is 400,000/20,000 = 20. This figure by itself isn't accommodating unless there is comparative factor to equate it to. A shared contrast could be to the business's industry group, a standard index, the past P/E, and the same. It is careful to match the P/E ratio by its predicted growth rate in disbursements and/or incomes.
Technical Analysis
WageWorks, Inc. Common Stock technical valuation displays it is trading $-3.37 points away or -5.47% from 50-day moving average of $61.72. It is trading $-0.05 or -0.09% away 200-day MA of $58.40.
The 52-week high of WageWorks, Inc. (NYSE:WAGE) was $65.43 while lowest point was $38.99. If stock surges over $-7.08, it will best point of 52-week. On decline of +49.65% stock will bottom to 52-week low.

St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 15:29-38
Prokeimenon. Grave Mode.
Psalm 63.11,1
The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord.
Verse: Oh God, hear my cry.
BRETHREN, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf? Why am I in peril every hour? I protest, brethren, by my pride in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day! What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesos? If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." Do not be deceived: "Bad company ruins good morals." Come to your right mind, and sin no more. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame. But some one will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?" You foolish man! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. And what you sow is not the body which is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or some other grain. But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.

Leafs Acquire Steckel
Kent Wilson
October 04 2011 05:24PM
News came down this afternoon that the Leafs have grabbed David Steckel from the Devils in exchange for a fourth round pick. The former Capital costs just $1.1M in cap space over the next two seasons and is one of the very best face-off men in the league.
The difference between most centermen in the league is so marginal that it usually doesn't make much of a difference. Like Manny Malhotrsa, however, Steckel is such a strong outlier that he can provide a bit boost in certain areas: particularly defensive zone draws at even strength and on the PK.
Last year, Steckel finished with the league's best F/O percentage (62.3%). Only him and Malhotra crested 60%. Steckel was also second in the league behind Scott Nichol in 2009-10 at about 60% again. The dude is legitimately elite at winning face-offs.
Due to that and his less than stellar offensive prowess, the 6'6", 215 pounder has fallen into a defense-first role over the last few years. His zone start ratio between NJ and WAS last year was just 42.3%, which was by far the lowest ratio amongst regular skaters on the Devils. The same was true in the year before in Washington, where Steckel started a team low 40.3% in the offensive zone at even strength.
Because has often been deployed Steckel in a defense-first role, his offensive numbers and possession stats have suffered somewhat. He played middling competition for the Devils and put up a slightly negative raw corsi rate (-3.27/60). However, if we correct for zone starts, Steckel's possession numbers become a lot more palatable (+1.68/60).
Steckel isn't going o put up a lot of points and he has never shut-down other team's top lines. He can, however, reliably play against other third and fourth liners and win a lot of face-offs on the PK and in important situations in the defensive zone. He gives the Leafs a reliable, useful fourth line center in exchange for a paltry fourth round draft pick.
The addition of Steckel also signals a couple of other things for the Leafs:
1.) Matthew Lombardi is healthy enough to move up to the third line and,
2.) Tyler Bozak should expect to be demoted or traded in short order.
Given that Tyler Bozak isn't particularly good at anything, that seems like good news all around for Toronto fans.

Three 265/35R-22 102H XL B FALKEN ZIEX S/TZ04 AS tires "SEPARATED". I went to Discount Tire located at 1001 LOOP 336 WEST, Conroe Texas to have my tires balanced and rotated when I was told the Falken tires were defective. The Manager Jeffrey L Bolt tried to inform me that I would need the extra warranty coverage to recovery any of my cost until I looked up Falken number and called the number myself. I spoke with Tim Widener - Product Engineer and Le Ann Martinez - Quality Assurance Administrator, at the warranty number 800-723-2553 about the three 265/35R-22 102H XL B FALKEN ZIEX S/TZ04 AS tires that "SEPARATED" on my wife's 300 Chrysler SRT8. I went to have the free balance and rotate and got my pockets picked to the tune of $357.36 plus a new re-alignment at $174.00. This is not including time and effort spent in trying to resolve this matter with the former named. I also emailed Darren Thomas, vice president of sales at DThomas (at) Falkentire (dot) com; He did not contact me. I now own the domain Falken-Tires-Suck dot com. Falken was recommended to me on my local forum by other 300 SRT8 owners so I feel compelled to set the record straight. I am David Huggins.

Deadly accident has resident worried about roads
GREENWICH TWP., Pa. - A trip to the mailbox that turned fatal for one 73-year-old man.
Now residents in a quiet neighborhood in Greenwich Twp., Berks Co., are on alert, and hope the authorities will make some changes.
Ferdinand Jacker, 73, was killed after he was hit while crossing Old Rt. 22 in the Village of Klinesville around 4:45 a.m. Wednesday, police said.
"I was amazed when I came out here and saw all what had happened," said Bruce Schwaln, neighbor.
"There were fire trucks, state police, ambulance all over the place," said Butch Garis, neighbor.
Jacker was headed to his mailbox when he was hit by a 1991 Ford Thunderbird, investigators said.
Neighbors said it was not odd to see Jacker out and about so early in the morning.
They said he had to wake up early because he worked an early shift in Philadelphia.
But neighbors said Jacker's death is a symptom of a larger problem.
Despite the 35 mile an hour speed limit, neighbors said drivers often ignore the sign.
"The speed limit is 35, and nobody does the speed limit," said Garis. "They always do more than the speed limit."
Melody Schmidt said her kids always play in the backyard and never in the front of the house.
"You can hear motorcycles, cars go through, and they just fly through here like you wouldn't believe," said Schmidt.
Neighbors said the two-way road was recently paved, but the lack of road markings make the street a hazard.
Now as residents remember the death of their 73-year-old neighbor, they said they also hope the authorities will take action.
"It's a shame that someone had to pass away for something to be done," said Garis.
There is still no word on whether the driver will face charges. State police said once the evidence is gathered in the case, it will be presented to the Berks County District Attorney for possible charges.

Maggie Jesme '14 came to Earlham as a Peace and Global Studies major and along the way she joined the pre-med track.
"I can't imagine sacrificing either of these experiences," she exclaims. "I would not be a complete person if I didn't get to study both.
"My main focus is access to health care. I want to combine my PAGS major with medicine because I want to work on both a macro- and micro-level to address disparities in access."
Jesme sees patient care as the micro–level, and the bigger macro-level work she endeavors toward is structural change in health care distribution.
"I want to find ways to work toward widening distribution to include populations currently without access," she says.
A recent semester abroad in Jordan, which she extended through the summer months, solidified her goals and aspirations.
Grant-Funded Research
"During my time there I conducted a research project at the American Center for Oriental Research," she says. "I examined barriers blocking Syrian refugees from accessing healthcare in Jordan." Obstacles included a lack of finances, scarcity of female doctors, which many Syrian, Muslim women prefer, and a convoluted registration process."
At the end of the research, which was funded by a grant from the Mellon Foundation and a Ford/Knight grant, Jesme initiated a project at a women's cooperative called Hands of the Badia, where she raised funds from U.S. citizens. Using the money she had raised, Jordanian and Syrian women worked together to start entrepreneurial projects to address the strain both communities were facing as a result of the Syrian Civil War. The idea came about during the semester abroad as the massive influx of Syrian refugees affected the economic situation of poor Jordanians.
"While I was in Jordan the Syrian refugee population nearly doubled," she says. "When I first arrived in Jordan in January, the Syrian population was 200,000 to 300,000, and by April that number had grown to 500,000."
The women are now selling sun-dried tomatoes, and in the future plan to sell hand-stitched pillows and hand-woven rugs in areas popular to tourists.
Jesme is just as committed to working for greater justice on Earlham's campus and in the Richmond community. In fact, her interest in activism, as well as PAGS, first drew her to Earlham.
An Activist for Justice
"Earlham seemed like a place where activism had a major influence on campus," she explains. " I wanted to go to a school where both the community and the culture were actively engaged in local and global issues of social justice."
On campus, she is part of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement and has been involved with Amnesty International.
"I am more willing to take risks after my semester abroad," she says. "If Earlham can divest from companies profiting from the human rights abuses of Palestinians and contribute even a little in the struggle to end the military occupation of Palestine, well, that's way more important than if I get an A in my Conflict Resolution class." (However, Jesme's professor noted that she is on track to do quite well in the course.)
Jesme's mother is a nurse practitioner and growing up she wanted no part of her mother's occupation.
Fairly early in her first-year, however, she made the decision to add pre-med and has volunteered at the State Hospital and Reid Hospital in Richmond.
"It's been interesting switching back and forth between PAGS and science classes," she says. "One day I will come away thinking nothing beats cell signaling, and then the next day I will hear a PAGS major analyze an internship using one of our PAGS authors and wonder where would I be without these perspectives."

Shortly before Aaron Wolf arrived at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts four years ago, he was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD ADHD). At first, he ignored it. But soon he began to suffer from what he calls "brain overload." "You do a lot of multi-tasking in college," says Wolf, who graduated in May. "Do your work, pay your bills, do your laundry. It's a challenge."
Health experts and college counselors agree — college is a radical departure from high school. For a teen with ADHD, heading off to this complicated academic and social environment means leaving behind the routines and supports that have helped him to function.
In high school's structured universe, students have constant interaction with their teachers and hands-on help at home. Reminders to do homework, eat lunch, take medication — even to exercise — are built into each day.
College life presents quite a contrast: a handful of classes spread throughout the week, with neither parents nor teachers overseeing schoolwork. Assignments are often long-term and exam scores determine grades. And there's an endless supply of free time. "The abyss is greater than many people believe," says Ross Pollack, director of the Specialized Resource Center and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Coordinator at Manhattan College in Riverdale, New York.
Your child isn't making this monumental leap alone. You, too, must prepare for transition, from parenting a high school student to coaching a college freshman. And there's a whole new set of rules. Your job is no longer about coaxing your child to wake up or to study; your new role is to motivate - and empower - him to do these things on his own.
Most college freshmen get a crash course in self-sufficiency when school begins in the fall. But it's imperative for the student with ADHD to ease into his independence. That's why college prep needs to start now. "College is expensive, and it's earth-shattering if it goes awry," says Pollack. Rather than wait until your child hits an academic wall, spend this summer preparing for the ways life will change — for both of you.
Line up support
Perhaps the biggest difference between high school and college for a student with ADHD is that in high school the federal government lends a hand. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) makes the school responsible for identifying students with learning disabilities and for providing services when they need them. In college, there's no such luxury. While colleges are required to make "reasonable accommodations" for learning disabled students, they aren't required to seek out these students or provide diagnostic services. It's up to the student to make his disability known to his school — and to ask for help.
A good place to start is the office of Disability Support Services, a service center that advocates and arranges learning accommodations on campus. When Aaron Wolf found himself in trouble at NYU, he turned to the university's Henry and Lucy Moses Center for Students with Disabilities for assistance. "College is different from high school, and I wasn't prepared," says Wolf. "I realized that things weren't happening, and that I needed someone to help me."
All colleges have such support services, though they vary in the way they work. Some schools offer structured programs, while others designate a learning specialist to counsel students. Hopefully, you looked into these services at various schools during the admissions process. Now it's time to get in touch with LD support services again. "Students should immediately introduce themselves to the disability support services officer, and find out what the university requires to utilize its resources," says Lisa Weyandt, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington, who has written about college students with ADHD. "Never assume it's the same as high school."
This summer, visit the LD support service center with your child, and set up a meeting with the director and your child's academic advisor. Hand in any recent evaluations (within the past three years) documenting your child's ADHD, and make sure they list specific recommendations for the accommodations he'll need. Discuss the best course load for an incoming freshman with ADHD. Students taking as few as 12 credits are considered full-time, though experts disagree on whether a reduced class schedule is the best way to start off freshman year. Ask which learning accommodations will be available - and how the LD support staff will arrange for them.

Ruutu opts to stay mum on suspension
ANAHEIM -- Unlike many other players, coaches and executives that have traded barbs in this chippy Ducks-Predators playoff series, Jarkko Ruutu mostly passed on a chance to express his opinion on being suspended for Game 5 tonight becasue of center-ice hit on Nashville's Martin Erat.

"It doesn't really matter if it's late hit [or not]," Ruutu said. "What happened yesterday, happened yesterday. Win or lose a game, it doesn't matter. It doesn't affect the outcome of this game so it's not something we actually think about."
When pressed for his thoughts on the league's ruling, Ruutu said, "I don't think it really matters what I think. It's a team game. When one guy is out, another one is in."
Ruutu played in two of the first four games. Brad Winchester, who was scratched for Game 4, is his likely replacement but youngster Kyle Palmieri could be a possibility for tonight.
"It's a team game," Ruutu said. "You lose a guy, there's another one that's fill in. I think we've got a pretty good guy coming in from the stands. It's always exciting but you get more nervous in the stands when you can't control what's happening on the ice."
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle, when talking about what he'll lose with Ruutu unavailable, couldn't resist a dig as Nashville coach Barry Trotz, who called the rugged Finnish winger a "five-minute player."
We're missing a big body that kills penalties," Carlyle said. "Aggressive on the forecheck that basically a good team guy. That's what we're missing. Whether he plays as somebody has quoted five mintues, six minutes or seven minutes. We ask him to give us the best as we ask all our other players. Give us your best contribution.
"If it's five minutes, if it's seven minutes, if it's 10 minutes, if it's 12 minutes, that's what we need. That's what playoffs are about."

Virgin Blue and V Australia Airlines APplaud New US-Austrlian Open SKies Agreement15/02/2008
Virgin Blue Airlines today congratulated the Australian and US Governments for introducing a new era of competition for air services between the United States of America and Australia.
The airline is preparing to launch its V Australia international subsidiary and will unveil first details of its in-flight product and inaugural operations next month. V Australia will operate flights with Boeing 777-300ER aircraft commencing in late 2008.
"The Australia-US Open Skies agreement is a great achievement and a significant change after almost twenty years of restrictive bi-laterals," Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said.
"The agreement and the approvals granted underline the commitment of both Governments to extensively liberalise Australia-US air services, a decision we strongly endorse and one which will bring significant benefits to both countries."
"We are also particularly proud of the contributing role we have played as a catalyst for the establishment of this agreement. It will enable us to bring long awaited, genuine competition to the trans-Pacific market," Mr Godfrey said.
The approvals granted at the Open Skies talks in the United States will enable
V Australia to commence operations with 10 weekly frequencies between the countries.
"This is tremendously exciting for our team and opens a whole new range of possibilities for us and for the travelling public."
"After eight years we believe we've proven our ability through Virgin Blue to stimulate change and innovation to the benefit of air travellers, tourism and the economy and V Australia will again be a catalyst for change, this time in the arena of international long haul aviation."
"We would also like to acknowledge the hard work and willing co-operation of the Government negotiating team to facilitate the agreement," Mr Godfrey said.

Umbro & Serbia: exciting international news by Aaron› 4 Jul 2014
All eyes might still be on Brazil at the moment, but here at Umbro we're already looking forward to Euro 2016 and the qualifiers that start in September - as we've just announced a deal to kit out one of the most exciting teams in the tournament.
Yesterday, it was announced that the Serbian national team will be wearing Umbro kits when they kick off on their Euro 2016 campaign in a couple of months. The two-year deal will start in September, as Serbia embark upon their campaign to reach the finals of the European Championships in France in 2016. Serbia will join the Republic Of Ireland as international teams wearing the double diamond for their Euro 2016 campaign.
Becoming a fully independent nation in 2006, Serbia has grown in stature on the football pitch, qualifying for the World Cup in 2010 before narrowly missing out on the chance to go to Brazil this year. For the European Championships in France, Serbia are in a group with Portugal, Denmark, Albania and Armenia, and will be confident about reaching the finals. Two teams from each group will qualify, while some of the best placed teams that finish third will also do so. With a strong squad of established international players and a generation of talented youngsters breaking into the first team, we're sure it's going to be an exciting time for Serbian football.
The new Serbia home and away shirts will be unveiled before their first qualification fixture, stay tuned for more details!

The Mission Of the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) National Operations Center (NOC) in Denver, Colorado, is to provide effective and efficient internal operational and technical program support to our stakeholders in upholding the overall BLM mission of sustaining the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
The center's 350 employees and 100 contractors contribute to the overall BLM mission by providing operational and technical support in several key areas, including human resources, information technology, geospatial services, finance, and acquisition. These services are delivered through four divisions (or business lines):
The NOC's services support field operations, focus on national-level solutions, and continually provide sound, technical expertise throughout the BLM.
Unconstrained by administrative and geographic boundaries, the NOC plays a key role to provide technical support and information necessary for the BLM to manage across broad landscapes. Whether talking about improved business functions, human capital management, information technology advances, or rapidly changing needs to improve science integration to better inform decisions, the NOC is standing by to assist BLM employees in gaining more mobility and greater flexibility to work where needed in the best interest of land stewardship and community partnerships.
The services provided by the NOC also have a significant impact on local and national economies. Based on the 2011 labor/operations budget, the NOC supported approximately 1,240 jobs in Colorado during fiscal year 2011, corresponding to more than $80 million in labor income.

Considering what's already been said in this thread, "the Naruto Timeline" thread, and bit's of what we know about Uzumaki's i decided that this is my theory... (for now ).
Uzumaki's longevity might not be something that just happened on it's own, but rather came form either the Senju, or closer descendant's of the younger son. In other words, everyone who had relations to the younger son and SO6P also had incredible logevity. I know this is a bit far fetched, but considering that we haven't seen any of the Senju live happily ever after, and that "liveforce" should technicaly mean long life. I think that this is worth considering.
Another reason why i think it's true, is because it could easily explain the "timeline problem". (beyond of course, a simple mistake)
Everyone who has followed the timeline, already noticed that it was Tobi who atacked the Leaf, yet it was the real Madara (or so it seems) who Itachi confronted several year's later.
So "wot i think" is that what madara gained along with hashirama's power's (though, we don't know how much he gained himself) is also his lifeforce=longevity. As i said i know it seem's far fetched but it would explain that he lived for so goddamn long...
Long enough to unlock and master the rinnegan, long enough to create Tobi with it, and maybe Zetsu aswell, long enough to implant (or have Tobi implant) the rinnegan into Nagato. And finally even in death, still looked like his younger self.
Of course there are a few implications that this theory has, it would, for example, mean that SO6P himself lived for a freakishly long time, (being the source of this huge lifeforce) but i think it's a decent theory.
What do you guy's think?
the top comment, sound familiar?
perhaps tobi is the product of madara experimenting on himself to gain power to beat hashirama?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Tobi is certainly a mysterious character. Personally the Madara split/zetsu theory seems a bit too much like what Kishi wants us to think so that when Tobi's identity is revealed we'll really be surprised. That's why the Izuna theory appeals to me, he's a character who's only been mentioned when the secret of how Madara regained the light in his eyes was revealed. Not much is really known about him apart from the obvious, and we assume that he died when his eyes were transplanted but there could always be more to it. Also when Naruto revealed to him that Kabuto had let the "other" Madara loose on the battlefield for all the world to see his reaction was interesting at first he was pissed off, then he tried to laugh it off as if by this stage it didn't matter as long as he completed the eye of the moon plan. To me the two brothers were cut from the same cloth just like Hashirama and Tobirama appeared to be, they both killed their closest friend to awaken the mangekyo sharingan, they pushed themselves to the limit to become stronger for battles which invariably saw them fight against the Senjuu. If Tobi is indeed Izuna then I hypothesise that incorporating hashirama cells/tissue into his body was what allowed him to cheat death and live for so long, as well as use zetsu spare parts and wield the rinnegan.
My theory about his warping ability is it's got to be sharingan + mask. He's already mentioned the mask is made of special materials. Perhaps he's used tobirama's space/time jutsu as an inspiration/starting point. If I'm wrong and it turns out the Madara split + Zetsu parts theory is correct I hope Kishi does a sterling job of explaining it to us.
I think that the man behind the mask is Izuna because when Tobi and Sasuke were talking in the cave, it seemed as if Tobi was using Itachi as a motive for Sasuke to turn on the village. Also when madara stealing his brothers eyes came up, Tobi became defensive and insisted that he gave them willingly.
How Izuna would have survived all these years, well Orochimaru searched for an immortality jutsu all his life, maybe Izuna discovered it, or he switches bodies like Oro.
With this manga I wouldn't be surprised it they introduced a new charecter
The key to all of this is NAgato. If Im not mistaken at the time Nagato was a kid and encountered Jiraya/Tsunade/Orochimaru. That time period the 1st was still alive at that time, now Im not sure if at this time period happened before or after Madara and the 1st fought. But I believe that the real MAdara knew of Nagato and may have even expected to be revived by him using Rinnengan power. Im not sure who Tobi is quite yet but there is one thing for sure theres a story there that ties in with these events.
Why does that matter? Because the third hokage was appointed hokage when hashirama's brother (the second hokage) sacrificed himself in battle to save his students. The second became hokage after hashirama died. The time of the first was wayyy before nagato was born. That's why madara knowing nagato is amazing because it tells us madara was alive AT LEAST 2 generations, likely 3, After the time believed to be his death. Him visiting tsuchikage was a big deal in itself as well because they thought him dead too.
Obito is Tobirama's great grandson. The proof is in the pudding.
well its narutoverse and death is nothing but an abstract notion. for all we know madara created tobi shortly after his battle with hashirama, then died but was summoned as a spirit somehow and told tobi what to do with his rinnegan eyes as the years passed by or maybe tobi was just supposed to be a vessel for madara but he got sidetracked. sure it might not be likely but its just as likely that the 3rd raikage had a "tough body" that were capable of resisting an attack on the atomic level, so this theory doesnt seem all that impossible.

Small campground course. Water in play for a couple of holes, you even have to shoot across a small island. Fun for all skill levels. There is a shack at the entrance that says it's $5 to get in, but noone was collecting money when we went. Nice but not worth a long trip.

A nice course in a nicer park. In the past, I have told the attendant that I was just planning to play disc golf and was charged a lower amount than the general entrance price for the park, and the attendant was even willing to waive me through without paying once. If you have a family with young disc golfers in training, consider taking advantage of all the park has to offer by swimming, fishing and having a cookout. In general, the course seems to favor throws that turn to the right as it plays around the edge of a peninsula and the foliage is heavier on the right side of the holes.

Hooper snubs new Celtic contract
Gary Hooper has turned down Celtic's final offer of an improved contract after the Hoops rejected a second bid from Norwich for the striker, Sportinglife understands.
- Related Content
The Canaries' initial bid last Thursday, reported to be in the region of £5million, was rebuffed by the Scottish champions, with Hoops boss Neil Lennon later claiming it was "nowhere near our valuation of the player".
14. Gary Hooper
|11 (6)
However, Norwich remain keen to sign the Englishman, who scored twice at the weekend to take his season tally to 20 goals, and it's believed they upped their offer on Monday only for it to be snubbed again.
Hooper has regularly been linked with a move to the Premier League thanks to his goal-scoring exploits at Parkhead since his arrival from Scunthorpe in 2010 and believes playing in England would boost his international chances.
The 24-year-old, whose contract expires in the summer of 2014, has been in talks over an extension to his current deal since the start of the season but it now appears the refusal of this latest offer could signal his exit during the transfer window.
A source close to the player told Sportinglife: "Gary does not want to sign what has been offered as it's not on a par with the club's highest earners.
"Gary has never made any secret of his desire to play in the Premier League and this may now happen sooner than expected."

Skip to comments.(VIDEO) David Brooks Rips Sarah Palin: 'She's A Joke, I Just Can't Take Her Seriously'
Posted on 11/16/2009 8:26:22 PM PST by thisisthetime
New York Times's columnist David Brooks -- never a huge fan of Sarah Palin -- laced into the former vice presidential candidate on Sunday, calling her a "joke" and a "potential talk show host." Below Link Takes you to video
(Excerpt) Read more at thewoodwardreport.com ...
Good job, David. You've ensured yourself of another year on the job at the Times.
And now David may empathize with us and how we feel about our current Pres-ent/Community Organizer.
If the times last that long the news print is so yesterday.
Palin causes the times writers to wear brown pants!!!
Could she get a better endorsement???
Pray for America's Freedom
I'm surprised if anybody actually gives a rats ass about what David Brooks thinks.
I have a feeling that David doesn't like strong women, maybe he has some fears of the ladies. Such venom just isn't politically realistic. Deep problems with him maybe...a closet lib....
That's funny. I never take David Brooks seriously.
In 5 years he won't have a NYT job cuz there will be no NYT....
David Brooks is the joke. I've watched him spitting all over himself while filling the faux role of "conservative" on various talking head shows.
Sarah Palin isn't a problem . . . the sickos who insist on trashing her 24/7 are the problem. They need to be called on it. Do not engage in the "Sarah" conversation; instead ask why the speaker is saying such things.
David "Lawn Jockey" Brooks. How's that NYT retirement fund looking?
This is the fool who fell at Obama's feet, because the "o" dropped the name of Rheinhold Niebuhr!
No one cares what the token conservative has to say. After all, he has what, three readers? Palin's already sold more books than the Times' readership.
That's the part I liked. Dissing talk show hosts....like GEORGE SNUFFLEUPAGUS!
Poor George is too stupid to know he was dissed.
The only people who call him conservative is the govt controlled media. To the rest of us he is a joke. He give Lawn Jockies a bad name...at least they stand upright on two legs.
The defense rests.
Probably got "Bill Maher Disease"
aka -hung like a light switch
David Brooks always looks like he is playing the
intellectual in a 1940 B movie.
The way he ranted out his hate for Sarah sounded like a person with real personal problems.
Sarah causes Mr. Brooks to re-experience certain unpleasant castration fantasies for the first time since he was in college.
There, fixed it for you.
This sounds like a case of he doth protest too much methinks. If she were really not worthy of being taken seriously, then I doubt an article about her would be the topic of his column. When is the last time I was the topic of his column? Me-irrelevant, Sarah Palin-not irrelevent, by their own measure........
:O) Thank you, that fits better......
MplsSteve Rips David Brooks: 'He's A Joke, I Just Can't Take Him Seriously'
Sayeth the MSM house conservative.
It's time to clean house and allow Brooks and his ilk to find their true calling in life --- like selling Sham-Wow's or Mighty Putty.
Why do intellectual lightweights like Brooks and Noonan always work so hard to make themselves appear intelligent? After about five minutes of either of these idiots you figure it out. They're clueless.
Three words you'll never hear any of these fools utter,
"I don't know."
They're like Al Gore. They figure if you ask them a question it means you don't know the answer, so it doesn't matter what they tell you.
David who?
Given this lowlife previously called her a cancer, a joke is actually an improvement.
Buffoons all. Nothing to see here. Please move along.
Who made this maggot God??? Has he ever been elected to a state house??? Has he ever been an executive of any large organization??? He runs his mouth and has convinced himself that he is important. That makes exactly one of us that is convinced.
Kneepads for Obama
A Metrosexual envious of Todd Palin.
I hope you step in it, ....Daaave.
Looks like a guy that probably still lives with his mother.
Fair enough, Brooks has turned himself into a joke, one who still hasn't figured out what a mistake Obamao is, an intellectual legend in his own mind, a self-appointed prophet of the Republican Party who is snookered by the Obamarama spoof on America. ...Truth be known, Brooks voted for Obamao because he loves Biden's mind. It can't get any dumber than that folks.
Another lowlife pseudo-intellectual on a commie rag payroll. Gee did we expect cajones out of this neocon RINO?
Pretty doggone funny coming from someone who writes for the NYTs.
And that's coming from someone who isn't a Palinbot - or any bot.
I can't take David Brooks seriously - he's a joke. Why don't the leftist tv shows have a REAL conservative on as their token "Republican.?
I have an answer for this. Tens of millions of Americans disagreed with Brooks and he basically fears that we're too stupid, that after all the efforts of the liberal media, WE still don't get it. So, Brooks has to escalate, shout louder in the hope that we'll finally get in and share his opinion about Palin.
Obviously, this strategy isn't going to work. Brooks, relax. If Palin is so incompetent, time will expose this incompetence and unsuitability for higher office. And conservative Americans, unlike all of your liberal friends, don't turn their political leaders into Messiahs. And how's that hopenchange working out with the 'serious', 'intelligent', 'literary', 'smart', etc. Obama aka Ofumble?
How the Presidential campaign with the 'experienced' McCain work out? Who, who was successfully portrayed as erratic and hot-tempered by the Obama campaign. Palin hasn't made any of these huge mistakes and she's the dummy? Okie-dokie.
David Brooks can't help himself. He wants desperately to be part of the in crowd and dare not think for himself.
This is a quote from Brooks about his first meeting with 0bama in 2005:
I remember distinctly an image of—we were sitting on his couches, and I was looking at his pant leg and his perfectly creased pant,
Sounds to me that Brooks has been lusting after 0bama, with or without pants, for a good long while now, so I don't take anything he says seriously.
What are you afraid of, David - truth, honesty, God and country? Hm?

Most people start training to get a bigger bench.. Its the number one exercise to describe how strong someone is to the common person. Just turn on any football game and the announcers will be telling you about how player X benches this amount or player Y benched so many reps at the combine. With all its popularity, it has spawned numerous programs that promise 50 POUNDS IN TEN WEEKS or some other result that is probably not going to happen. The truth is that unless you are part of a small genetic group that is born to bench press then it is a frustrating and slow moving exercise to progress on.
We have seen the guys that can press 500 and 600 pounds without a bench press shirt but the reality is that the majority of us arent may never get there. Everybody knows guys that bench 400 in high school or who never train and can throw up large amounts on the bench. This article is not for those people. Its for the lifter that has trained consistently to increase their bench press and still arent where they want to be. Have you been training for ten years and still cant bench 315 much less 405? I can help you. Why? I am one of you and the perfect example of the frustrated bencher.
I loved benching at an early age and actually entered my first bench press competition at the age of 12. I consistently trained all through my teen years and ended up benching 285 touch and go style as a High School Senior. I had the highest squat on my football team but guys that barely trained had broke through the 300 barrier and passed me by. I couldnt understand it. The years after my training was more sporadic but I was able to finally bench 315 when I was 33. You read that right, 18 to 33 I put 30 pounds on my bench press! I had enough and decided to get serious and set my modest goals on benching 4 plates. 3 plates was a big deal where I was training at the time but I wanted more. I really didnt believe I would get there but it couldnt hurt to try. I started contacting and talking to the best benchers in power lifting at that time (If they couldnt help, who could?). I listened and experimented with numerous programs and special exercises. I stayed around 315 for two years before I finally figured some things out for myself. I finally made a breakthrough that has helped me and other lifters that I have helped, blow pass there previous maxes. What I will pass on to you helped me go from a sloppy T&G 315 to a paused 400 at a full meet in just two years. If it helped the guy that only put 30 pounds on his bench in ten years it can help anybody. No one has to worry about me breaking any world records but I can help the people like me that werent benching 300 pounds out of the womb.
The bench press is comprised of three parts for this discussion. You have the chest drive, mid point (where you transition from chest to triceps drive), and the triceps drive or lockout. An optimal program is going to address all three aspects but the emphasis should be placed on the order I listed them in for raw benching. A raw bencher has to first be strong in the bottom, above all else. Its not a matter of being fast enough or some other guru catchphrase. You dont have the benefit of a shirt so you have to start the weight yourself. Next will be the midpoint where may stall. Solid work in that area will transfer immediately to the lifters bench press. Last, we worry about the lockout. Most lifters are going to miss a raw bench about 6 to 8 inches off their chest, not right at lockout. That being said it does happen so it doesnt hurt to address this area if you have the time. Overall, the best program is going to give you ample work in each area with room to recover for the next workout.
This will be an easy choice because the best exercise for the bottom of your bench is the paused bench press. There are a few other choices such as cambered bar benches or deep stretch dumbbell presses but they are not as practical or as effective. The pause bench meets our needs because it builds superior power off the chest, and it serves as practice for the lift we are actually trying to improve. It is true in all sports, that if you want to get good at something considerable time needs to be spent doing it. Want to get good at free throws? You better spend a lot of time practicing them. Special exercises have their place but the bulk of your training and concentration needs to be focused on the actual movement we want to improve. Seems like common sense but unfortunately common sense is not a common virtue in some programs. Enough on that, pause bench is our choice here.
The transition from chest to triceps drive is the place where most of us fail on our presses. The press should be one smooth motion and not broken into two segments. You can build up enough lower power to blast through this with lower weights but it will show when the weight gets heavy.
This is the place where we channel our inner Westside and break out those special exercises. My recommended exercises for middle power are the two board press, three board press, and the floor press. The use of bands or chains with these exercises can all be utilized to improve their effectiveness but they are also great with straight weight.
A few tip when performing these movements:
1.Utilize a slightly closer grip with all of them to emphasize more triceps. Make sure that the grip is no more than one fist length from your competition grip. If you go too close, you are training a slightly different movement pattern that may not transfer as well.
2.When performing the board press dont pause and sink the bar into the boards before you press. What can happen is you start heaving with your upper body and take stress of the muscle groups we want to train. Just lower the bar and slightly tap the board and press.
3.Do not do touch and go floor presses. Lower the bar until the elbows touch and go, slight pause, and then explode.
Remember why we are doing these exercises to get better at bench presses not the special exercises. So do them strictly and really work that middle transition. If this is a weakness of yours, dont be surprised if your numbers jump immediately from including them.
The last part of the press we need to pay attention to is the last 4 to 5 inches of the lockout. If you are doing your pause and middle work, then you will already be hitting this area but it does help to put some work into this limited range of motion. The three exercises that I recommend for the lockout are pin presses, reverse band presses, and 4 boards.
1.For the reverse band presses I would recommend no more than an average band. This exercise will not only help your lockout but also continue to teach you to push in one smooth motion and power through your sticking point.
2.Pin presses need to be set for a limited range of motion and extra attention needs to be taken to your shoulders and elbows. Large amounts of weight over your max can be handled in this exercise, so make sure you are in a good pressing position and cut this exercise out if its starting to hurt your joints.
After trying multiple programs and talking to a number of 600+ benchers there were two things that stuck out to me. The first is the emphasis on the large amount of pressing volume. Many people have stalled with some of the most popular programs found today because they really only do one hard work set. That may work for the dead lift but the bench is something else. The second was simplicity. Instead of pouring effort into 14 different exercises, find a few that work and get really good at them. It can be summed up with one simple phrase Do less better!
Simplicity, volume, and progression need to be programmed into your program but you need to keep an eye on how your joints and muscles feel. The bench press responds to a large amount of work but it has to be something you can recover from. Your body and lack of progress will tell you how many days off you need. It may be hard at first, most of us are addicted to training, but you can make great gains benching once a week. Dont be afraid to give it a shot.
If you decide to train once a week then you need to pick one exercise from each of the groups mentioned earlier in the article. For example: pause bench, 2 board bench, and reverse band presses. Those exercises are to be performed in that order with the majority of the work with the first one.
1.Bottom: As far as sets and reps, the best rep range I have found is 3 to 6 reps. No less than 3 working sets with the same weight. For whatever rep range you choose, pick a weight that is a tough weight for that range and try to complete all reps and sets. If you do it, go up five ponds next time. If not, improve at least one rep next time. This keeps progression in your training and gives you a clear goal for each session.
2. Middle: You are going to be tired here so limit the sets to 3. Your first set can actually be a little less than you were pause benching with to get used to the new exercise. The next two need to be with the same weight for 3-5 reps. Get both sets go up five pounds.
3. Top: Exact same sets and reps as middle.
When you are through with all of that you will be wore out. Rest a week and come back next week and do it again with more weight. This is exactly how I trained when I went from a paused 375 to my first gym 405 in two months. Totally work all aspects of the lift, rest, and repeat. Simple.
The two day a week is a good option if you dont have the time for the longer one day a week routine. Its also good for the person that feels they are lacking in top end power. The workouts are shorter and allow you to pour more effort into the middle and top exercises. Keep an eye on your recovery as mentioned before. You will be able to use more weight in two of the exercises versus the one day option so it can take a toll.
1.With two days to train, we are going to split the sessions into an upper (middle, top) and lower session.
2.Lower will just consist of the pause bench and utilize the same sets and reps suggested for the one day.
3.Upper will be your middle and your top exercise. Treat your middle as you do your pause bench on lower day as far as sets and reps. An example would be floor press for 5 sets of 5 with static weight and the usual progression plan. Your lockout exercise will be treated differently. Start at a triple and keep adding ten pounds until you miss a rep.
So what do you do after you are through pressing? For aesthetic reasons and shoulder health a large amount of your work should be focused on your rear deltoid. Rear laterals, pull a parts, and machine laterals are all options to fully work and develop the rear deltoid. Keep the reps high and dont be afraid to do up to ten sets on this area. Your shoulders will feel better and you will end up fully developing your shoulders.
1.Pause Bench 4x3
2.3 Board Press 1x5 2x3
3.Pin Press 1x5 2x3
4.Rear Laterals supersets with pull a parts 4x12
1.Floor Press 4x3
2.Reverse Band Press Triples until you miss
3.Rear Laterals 5x15
1.Pause Bench 4x3
2.Side Laterals 3x12
3.Pull a parts 3x15
That pretty much sums up how to organize your bench training and all that is left to do is put in hard work and time. This is not intended to be a gimmick because gimmicks work for some but the basics work for all. Progress takes time and consistency but if you utilize the concepts from this article, I promise you will be moving in the right direction.

No fun at Fulham; Goals at Arsenal
We're not expecting a classic in the weekend's first Premier League game between Fulham and Stoke but goals are expected in Arsenal's clash against Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium.
- Related Content
Everton and Manchester United are both expected to pick up three points as Nick Hext, David John and Ben Coley look at another very interesting day of action in the top-flight.
This isn't the most enticing of games for the neutral in Saturday's lunchtime offering for the television cameras. This battle between two mid-table clubs gives Stoke the chance to win a Premier League away game for only the second time this season - their only success on the road coming at West Brom on December 1 - and they will be happy to see Fulham's recent record isn't too hot. Martin Jol's men have only won one of their previous six home matches and a six-point gap to the relegation zone isn't enough to sit completely easy. There was only one goal in the Cottagers' previous two contests and it's also interesting to note that three of Stoke's previous six away matches have finished 0-0. That leads me to getting involved with the 9/1 for no goalscorer. Stoke will as always prove tough to break down and I don't think a point from Craven Cottage will be a bad return for the men from the Potteries. Get with the no goalscorer to provide yourself with some interest.
Verdict: Fulham 0 Stoke 0 (NH)

An embattled Arsene Wenger has asked his players for a positive response after a bad week that has seen them ousted from the FA Cup and completely on the back foot after the first leg of their Champions League clash with Bayern Munich. The Gunners are 1/3 to get back on track with three points as they pursue fourth place in the Premier League so the question for punters will be how far has the rot set in? Five or six weeks ago you would have expected the hosts to sweep aside Villa but there have been some signs of an encouragement for Paul Lambert with a vital three points secured against West Ham on their last outing which has seen them climb out of the bottom three. They have had some time since to freshen up to heal a few ailments and there have been little nibbles on the visitors at 10s to take advantage of Arsenal's current frailty, but even taking that into account, an away success would still be a shock to my mind. That said, Villa have managed to start scoring with 11 goals in their last six outings in all competitions and will be encouraged to keep that sort of form going against a back line that has looked little short of laughable on occasions. Wenger should get a tonic of sorts but the suggestion is to back both teams to score.

Norwich haven't beaten a Premier League side since December 15 and the visit of Everton poses plenty of problems. David Moyes' side stumbled at Oldham last weekend and are now three games without a win and five without a clean sheet, but they're tempting at odds-against given their exploits throughout the season. One obvious policy would be to go low on goals given Norwich's home record, particularly of late with five of their last six matches having produced fewer than three goals. However, Everton's success this season has been built on out-scoring the opposition and relying on them keeping a clean sheet looks a risky policy. Somewhat remarkably, their last six victories in the Premier League have come via a 2-1 scoreline and although we may be latching onto this trend too late, the price that they do so again looks suitably valuable for a small wager. The more cautious could back them to win without keeping a clean sheet or by exactly a goal at a similar price, but we'll keep stakes smaller and play on what's a very strong trend.

QPR v Manchester United (1500)
- Premier League Top Scorers
|Stat Value
|Robin van Persie

|Gareth Bale

There is plenty of interest in this match between the side at the bottom of the Premier League and the side at the top. There is a 48-point gap between the clubs in the standings and that will show if QPR play as badly as they did in the 4-1 defeat at Swansea last time out. That loss followed a couple of 0-0 draws so it's hard to know exactly which Hoops team will turn up and take on the leaders. Harry Redknapp's men have secured goalless draws against Manchester City and Tottenham in two of their last three home league games and you can get 14/1 with Sky Bet about the same result on Saturday. Some may find that of interest but I'm more tempted by the price for Manchester United to win by one goal - as we all know they have done on numerous occasions during the campaign so far. I'm put off enough, however, by the horrendous display from QPR at Swansea to steer clear of that tip with the potential for the Red Devils to win with ease. Looking at United to win to nil should also get a few of you curious. It isn't for me with Sir Alex Ferguson's men conceding a goal in five of their previous seven matches and not looking completely solid throughout the season.

This is one of quite a few key battles between sides at the wrong end of the table that we can expect between now and the end of the season. Reading and Wigan sit 18th and 19th respectively and a win for either side would do wonders for their survival bid. A draw would not. Reading enter the contest on the back of two 2-1 defeats - one in the league and one in the cup - but they were on an unbeaten run of six games prior to that so confidence remains high. You can get 9.1 with Sky Bet for a 2-1 Wigan win on Saturday but that isn't one for me. I would be backing the Latics if the odds for the away victory were a bit more inviting. Wigan impressed greatly in last weekend's 4-1 FA Cup win at Huddersfield but they are without a Premier League victory in 2013 so calm down and don't get too carried away. Here are some points to consider - but not for us to tip. You can get 5/6 for Reading to score last (they have done so in their previous eight matches) and 13/2 for Adam Le Fondre to score last (he has done so for the Royals in three of those games). Wigan, however, have scored last in eight of their previous nine matches and can be backed to do so again at 11/10. The end result of that is I won't be getting involved.
Verdict: Reading 1 Wigan 1 (NH)

West Brom are feeling much better about life after winning 2-0 at Liverpool in their previous game. That ended a run of eight matches without a win for the Baggies, which stretched back to Boxing Day, and that had led to some of the good work in the first half of the season being undone. They still sit ninth in the table - a very good effort it's fair to say - and fans at The Hawthorns should look forward to the rest of the campaign with a smile. Sunderland supporters won't be quite so cheery. The Black Cats sit 13th with a six-point gap to the bottom three. That means a few more wins would come in handy and three points on Saturday would certainly be welcomed. I don't think that will happen here but West Brom's run prior to the great night at Anfield is enough to put me off getting involved with the home victory.
Verdict: West Brom 2 Sunderland 1 (NH)

Reflecting the concerns of teachers and parents alike, the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) today aired two TV ads addressing the impact of deep budget cuts and what NJEA President Barbara Keshishian sees as "an impending explosion of standardized testing."
The ads feature Port Republic elementary teacher Erica Polito and Trenton elementary teacher Talithea Briggs, who speak as both teachers and parents.
In "Cuts," Briggs explains the continuing impact of nearly $1.3 billion in cuts to state education aid during Gov. Christie's first year in office, which meant "larger class sizes, fewer computers, and less money for books and materials." Briggs also notes that in this year's state budget, a number of districts only got $1 more in state aid.
"What are our kids supposed to do with a dollar?" she asks.
In "Tests," Polito tackles an issue that is affecting classrooms across New Jersey.
"Students are spending more and more time on high-stakes standardized testing," Polito tells viewers. "It's so sad to see Governor Christie turning our schools into test-taking factories," she adds, referring to the Department of Education's determination to massively expand the number of tests students will be taking in more subjects and more grades in the years to come.
"Our children are so much more than a test score," Polito says, "and it's time Governor Christie learned that."
Both spots are airing as part of NJEA's Pride in Public Education program, which was launched in 1994 to inform parents and the public about the achievements of New Jersey's public schools and the challenges they face.
"Our public schools are still at or near the top in the nation, but not all is well right now," said Keshishian. "Our schools continue to do a great job against tall odds, but teachers and parents are becoming increasingly distressed about the impact of deep budget cuts and an impending explosion of standardized testing."
Last spring, Keshishian authored a column in the Newark Star-Ledger detailing NJEA's concerns with the over-use of standardized testing to evaluate and even dismiss teachers.
"All respected research says that is flawed policy," Keshishian said. "Students and their teachers shouldn't have their futures determined by an over-reliance on standardized tests, because we know that two-thirds of the factors affecting test scores occur outside the classroom, and in the home or the community."
Equally troubling, Keshishian said, is mounting student anxiety about test-taking, and parents are concerned that the focus on tested subjects is narrowing the curriculum, while forcing teachers to "teach to the test."
"Ask any teacher, and they'll tell you they are spending way too much time on preparing students for standardized tests," Keshishian said. "We are missing the whole point of education with this singular focus on test scores, and our students are being short-changed as a result."
The ads will run in both New York and Philadelphia markets, as well as on New Jersey cable networks.

"Love these boots that don't love my feet. How sad I am that my instep is too high for these boots. Perhaps, if elastic were on the side, there would be give and stretch to accommodate a high instep. The silver-tone accents at the heel and toe are unique. Unfortunately, I had to return these adorable boots that are super special. I would have tried a size larger if it were available."

Cute and unique for a suede wedge
"I read other reviews which said the shoes run a little short, so that it would be a good idea to buy a half size larger. I'm usually a 7, so I ordered the 7.5, and I'm glad I did because these shoes are very narrow. If you don't have slim feet, these shoes will be very uncomfortable because I already have narrow feet so these shoes feel only slightly snug. They are super cute with the side cut out and with the metal details on the tip and end. The suede feels nice and the height is just right. After wearing them for a few hours though, my feet do get sore, so it is good to practice wearing them to get used to the angle your feet will be in."

Great dress boot
"I purchased these ankle boots for a trip I took to Russia, in January, to wear when I wanted to dress up. They worked great. I wouldn't want to wear them all day but they were perfect for an evening out. They are a little slick on the bottom, no providing much traction on ice or snow."
