When teams try to take away senior forward Tori Davis inside, that's when someone else picks up the load and carries it on their shoulders.
Once again, that someone was junior guard Jessen Burk.
Burk netted a game-high 17 points against Sand Rock on Thursday in the opening round of the Cherokee Invitational Basketball Tournament. She also had five assists and four rebounds to lift the Class 4A, No. 8 Lady Warriors to a 50-39 victory.
Cherokee County (11-2) advances to Friday's tournament semifinals at the Gadsden State-Cherokee Arena, where the Lady Warriors will face Class 1A, No. 9 Spring Garden (9-5) at 3:15 p.m. Spring Garden blew past Gaylesville 56-26 in its opening round game on Thursday.
Sand Rock (9-4) falls to the consolation bracket where it will take on Gaylesville (4-5).
"They did a really good job with help defense on Tori," Cherokee County coach Travis Barnes said of Sand Rock. "They pretty much had two girls on her all night, and we had to have somebody step up. It seems like whenever Tori's being taken out of the game, Jessen steps up and she did that again tonight."
Sand Rock coach Lisa Bates was proud of how her Lady Wildcats contained Davis, but letting Burk have the open looks combined with Sand Rock's scoring woes turned a close game at halftime into a semi-rout.
"Burk hurt us, but what hurt us even more was us not scoring," Bates said. "We just couldn't put the ball in the hole. Them getting 22 points that first quarter really hurt us. They only got six in the second quarter, but we just couldn't get the ball to fall in for us. We took some good shots, then we started forcing some. We didn't get quite what wanted on offense, but I was pleased with our defensive effort inside."
Bates said the key stretch of the game was when the Lady Wildcats managed to cut the Lady Warrior lead to three at 24-21in the second quarter. Sand Rock had opportunities to cut their deficit down further, but missed a pair of shots inside the paint.
Still, things were manageable at halftime, with the Lady Wildcats trailing by five at 28-23. However, a 13-5 run in the third stretched the Lady Warrior lead to 41-28, which proved to be a deficit Sand Rock couldn't overcome.
"When we missed those two inside shots, that was a crucial point," Bates said. "It spread out from there and never got close again. We missed some key shots. We had some opportunities to score inside, but we just missed them. I think that was the key point. It kind of hurt our momentum and we kind of got down after that."
Barnes said the Lady Warriors became a little flat in the second quarter
"We kind of let up, and that's what made it tight at halftime," Barnes said. "What I tried to get the girls to do in the second quarter was pull the game away, but they kind of let their foot off the gas. I think they learned a lesson from it.
"Our defense kept us in it. We just happened to find a way to win tonight with defense."
Barnes said one of those defensive standouts was senior guard Darbie Rosser.
Rosser finished with nine points (including a pair of 3-pointers) and six rebounds, but Barnes said the intangibles that don't show on the stat sheet helped lead the Lady Warriors to victory.
"I was really proud of Darbie," Barnes said. "I thought she stepped up on the defensive end and had a ton of deflections and a lot of loose-ball plays. She took a charge. She just did a lot of the intangibles. I thought she carried us tonight defensively."
Chelsea Ray also had a solid game for the Lady Warriors, posting 11 points, three assists and three steals. Davis grabbed 12 rebounds to go with her 10 points. Madison Brannon finished with eight boards.
Madison McCullough and Courtney Rowe led Sand Rock with seven points apiece. Shelley Sonaty finished with six points.

Adobe cs4
I am thinking about buying cs4. anyone got any opinions on it?Do you have CS3 now?
I have read a review for the new Illustrator and it gave a real good example of if you have Illustrator CS3 now, there might not be a worth while reason to upgrade.
Granted I haven't downloaded the trial version yet, but for what I do with Photoshop and Illustrator now, there is no real need for me personally to upgrade.i do not have cs3. I have photoshop cs2, dreamweaver 8 and flash cs3 pro. I am a student so I can buy the full version for 600.00 I would be getting photoshop cs4, fireworks and a few other programs that are in there.Even if you already have CS3, it's totally worth the upgrade. All the apps have some cool new features as well as lots of refinements. Check out this AI review here. The reviewer is Mordy Golding, previous AI product manager. He's an author of Real World Illustrator, and he has a nice blog that has some good stuff.IMO, if you need it, and its worth the money to you, then yes. If not, then no.
Also, CS3 is a very powerful suite of products... So powerful, that I doubt any of us even use it to its full potential.
We're not talking about an upgrade from Photoshop 4 to Photoshop CS4... we're talking about CS3 to CS4.
Well, that's my 2 cents. ;) Then again, I don't like spending money for no reason.you lost me on that dude. photoshop 4 to cs4? what? is there a difference? I don't have any version of creative suit. I thought I would buy cs4 to get the latest photoshop, dreamweaver and whatever else is in there.You're all barking mad lol I don't know about the rest of the suite but DreamWeaver CS4 and Photoshop are FREAKIN aweosme. I beta tested Dreamweaver and saw some examples of what photoshop can do, especially with the new Content Aware Scaling ... WOW... lol
As for dreamweaver I don't really use that many of the features anyway I really liked the new layout and options. There's a new tab you get when you open a document. Before you would have to open each file that are linked to the document manually. Now you open for example index.html (which has jquery.js, style.js litebox.js) they show up in a menu at the bottom of the normal tab where u access to all of them without having to search and open it.
.... I love it.. need upgrade.. too expensiveI never had Photoshop 4 either... my first version was 7.
But, my point is, is that you're not talking about a several version jump. You're talking about the next version up. If you have the money, and it's not a factor in your life, consider yourself lucky, and upgrade. But, if you're more conscious with your spending, like myself, you may not see the reason to upgrade. Sure, there may be some added features... but think of it from a business perspective. Adobe has ideas they haven't released yet... they're waiting for CS5. Why? Because ultimately, they're a business, and its about making money. And, they'll be making their money on the people who upgrade every single time a new suite comes out.
Just my opinion... I'm not knocking Adobe. It's just a personal feeling that unless the upgrade is earth shattering, it's not worth *my* money when i already have something I probably don't even use half of its power. Why get more power that I won't use? I don't feel an option to open 3 more files by clicking an easily viewable button in Dreamweaver to be worth the upgrade price. In fact, it's already there... the file browser I keep on the right side. ;<
Again, just my opinion... If you've got the money and the time to learn every single feature, more power to you =)

The Film
After a television show on MTV and three feature-length films, Jackass has firmly embedded its "stupid" humor in American pop culture. And while it seems that we've always seen enough, Jackass has found ways to reinvent itself just enough to keep us hooked.
Its debut on the big screen made every stunt bigger and more extreme, and stripped the show of its television censoring. Jackass 2 upped the ante again, actually getting smart about its juvenile stunts, in a film of double crosses the cast played on one another. And then for the latest, the crew utilized a Phantom 3D camera to make all of the cocks come flying out of the screen in its latest gags, in slow motion. (more…)

Turkey v Great Britain - Thursday at 17:45 (16:45 CET)
The sight of a team from the United Kingdom wouldn't have sent shivers down the spine of most teams in the old days.
But it's 2011 and for the second straight EuroBasket, Great Britain have a team in the Final Round and this time, Luol Deng is in the squad.
The Chicago Bulls forward, injured and unavailable when the Brits made their EuroBasket bow in 2009 in Poland, is in the fold this time and no team had better take this team lightly.
Team GB led hosts Lithuania on Wednesday in the fourth quarter before falling, 80-69.
If Turkey are not shaking in their boots, they will at least have a healthy respect for the British team.
"Every rival at the EuroBasket is difficult and Great Britain have good players," said Turkey's rookie center, Enes Kanter.
Britain are not a one-man team, either.
The side has experience in the frontline with Joel Freeland, Robert Archibald and Dan Clark, players who compete at the highest level in Spain's ACB.
And the squad has weapons in the backcourt as well with Mike Lenzly and veteran Nate Reinking.
Britain also have a highly-rated coach, Chris Finch.
Turkey, however, made a loud statement last year when they hosted the FIBA World Championship.
Led by star Hedo Turkoglu, a deep and talented team made it all the way to the gold-medal game before falling to the United States and on Wednesday, they brushed aside Portugal.
Head to Head: Great Britain played in their first EuroBasket in 2009 and did not face Turkey.
Last Time Out: Turkey crushed Portugal 79-56 while Great Britain fell 80-69 to Lithuania.
Key Match-Up: Luol Deng v Hedo Turkoglu. Deng pulled down 10 rebounds and had a game-high 25 points in the defeat to t Lithuania but shot just eight for 22 (36%) from the floor.
Key Stat: Turkey were 30 of 59 (51%) from the floor against Portugal, with young center Kanter seven of nine (78%).
X-Factor: Great Britain's Mike Lenzly. If he gets hot, he can cause a lot of problems. He was shut out against Lithuania, although he took just two shots.
Sounding Off: "Turkey are a similar team to Lithuania in that they have a lot of depth and size. We need to push the ball well, have a good bench performance and finish better. Hopefully the shots will go in against Turkey" - Great Britain coach Chris Finch.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Following the fatal stabbing of Tonette Thomas, Assemblyman Jim Tedisco is once again pushing for legislation to prevent domestic violence.
Tedisco says the "Chronic Criminal Act" could have prevented the young woman's death since Michael Anderson had a criminal history.
"As a criminal, even if they are misdemeanors, after four, would make this a class E felony on the fourth misdemeanor and that would be one to four years in prison," said Tedisco.
Tedisco introduced the Chronic Criminal Act after the 2006 murders of Hillary and Romello Downey. Their murderer, Kareem Hayes, had a long track record of misdemeanor offenses.

I've been trying to get an ENB series to work with this game for a long time, needless to say I wasn't very successful in finding one for what seemed like an eternity. However, I have now found an ENB series that works and is editable, I found it from this thread http://www.forumkorner.net/thread-38739.html and downloaded it from here http://enbseries.enbdev.com/forum/viewf ... 6&start=15 after putting this inside the game's root directory it has worked absolutely great!
I also had to download the enb injector found here http://enbdev.com/download_injector_generic.htm I am not sure if the enb with the converter can run without it. I do not truly understand why I wasn't able to get it to work earlier without the dx8 converter, but it is working great now. I just figured I'd share this.
Check this out! This is an unmodified version of the original enb. The person(s) responsible for this have been appropriately noted in the link (though ultimately Boris is).

I saw a recent Twitter thread discussing the arrogance of Steve Jobs. One person (ok, it was my buddy Rob) postulated that it was this very arrogance that led Apple to their successes. I suppose it's quite possible that it had a factor, but I tend to think Steve Job's vision and drive were much bigger factors. This idea is a reflection of a pervasive belief out there that arrogance is excusable, perhaps even acceptable and admirable in successful people and institutions. In contrast, I think we'd all agree that that arrogance is universally detestable in unsuccessful people....

12. | Beached Whale | ||
Referring to a chubby or fat person. Normally said as if it were a sentence itself...
1. | beached whale | ||
When you take a dump while sitting on the toilet backwards so that your fecal matter ends up on the dry part of the toilet and not in the water. Last time I used Gabe's bathroom I left a gnarly beached whale.
2. | Beached Whale | ||
A turd so big it comes out of the water in the shitty 1.6 gallon low flow toilet. Following the big Mexican dinner, Jim put a Beached Whale in the toilet.
or The stench of Jim's Beached Whale rose from the toilet bowl. |
3. | beached whale | ||
similar to awkward turtle, denoting the occurance of an awkward situation. the beached whale is performed by placing one hand on top of the other, face up, and thumbs rotating. JB walked into a room full of naked hispanic men, all playing the flute while whipping each other with palm leaves.
To alleviate the awkward situation, JB starts to freestyle rap. This makes the entire situation even more awkward, and the naked hispanic men all begin to do the beached whale. |
4. | beached whale | ||
When fecal matter in a toilet is only partly submerged in water and partially lay on the dry porcelain of the toilet bowl. "Shit. Look at that beached whale! Sorry brown buddy, I didn't mean to let you perish like that."
5. | beached whale | ||
An individual who is confined to their bed due to their morbid obesity; one who wallows in their own excrements. "Whoa! look at that beached whale"
6. | beached whale | ||
a female, whose body closely resembles that of a beached sperm whale. i can't believe you slept with that beached whale. i.e. Leah
7. | beached whale | ||
a beached whale with a cocktail sausage is a fat guy with a very small penis! he was like a beached whale with a cocktail sausage


text: Chatted to my insurance broker yesterday and was disturbed to hear that the wording in insurance documents is very open to interpretation and that the interpretation suits the firm. It comes down to me having to make an overt attempt to prevent the loss of stuff through break ins. So if someone stole my long lens in its case from a cupboard in the car I would not get compensation (I thought I would be compensated in this scenario). If I chained the case to something in the car I might be ok and am also thinking of bolting an metal box to the floor. I don't like the box on the floor as I plan to sleep in the Combi and the idea of the chain just irritates me (too much trouble to unlock everything for what is a lousy picture anyway and so don't take the picture). I am going travelling to the West Coast shortly and wonder what you guys do to prevent theft from cars?

I don't think people would protest too much if it is priced comparably to NEX-7. They would say, yeah weird design but someone may like it.
But to put a price 5x the NEX-7 on which it is undoubtedly based?
Are we such a shallow suckers that we will fall for it?

Maxiell Hasn't Accepted Pistons' Offer Posted: 10/12/2008 4:34:00 AM Source: News-Herald Forward Jason Maxiell hasn't accepted the Pistons' three-year, $15 million contract offer, and it doesn't make a lot of sense. Only a few players from the 2005 draft have even been offered extensions. _____________________________________________________________ Seems like a pretty generous offer to me. Hopefully he will accept it and move on before the October something deadline. We need to sew him up so he won't walk and ending up with one of our rivals.
I hope Max doesn't plan on leaving. He has until Halloween to get it signed. Maybe he's just waiting for the preseason to be over (Oct. 23) to get a feel on the new team before he signs it. I would be really hurt if he left cause he's a big part of our bench. Hopefully he won't end up like Mr. B. Wallace!
The last couple of years, the Pistons have lacked offfensive punch off the bench. That's why Stuckey, McDyess, and Maxiel will be the first 3 reserves this season. I bet Maxiel will end up playing similar minutes as Amir.
I agree with Bill (I think I just threw up in my mouth a bit admitting that). I think AJ is a better fit with the starters and J-Max is more valuable coming off the bench. That doesn't mean that AJ is better than J-Max, or even that he'll get more minutes than him.
Maxiell is more offensively polished, which is why we are keeping him with the bench unit. Our big 4 can take all the shots they want and Amir can fill in the gaps. I can also see Kwame filling in the 5th starter role, and that definitely doesn't mean KB is better than Max. The beautiful thing is that if all else fails, we can still put Dyess back in there and go with a full on running 2nd unit. It probably won't ever come to that, but that is our downside.
We'd have him this year anyway, so that is what is most important. If we lost him next year, I agree that it would be hard to replace him for the same price... which is exactly why he's holding out. He would be starting on many other teams, so that could also factor into this. However, he needs to consider that Amir/ Kwame don't have the 5th starter spot secured yet, and Sheed/ Dyess are nearing the end of their careers. Detroit is not a bad team to be on for a young big going forward. Also, Dumars has his back like no other GM would.
Why would he jump on this right away? He should take some time to think about it. I am not sure if anyone will pay him more, but wouldn't Pistons be able to match?
I tought we had 2 years left? This year and next year being the matching year. Probably a good move for him as he will probably not get much less than that if not more. His role is very uncertain right now. If Amir and Kwame have good years then his mins will be way down.
With Flip gone, I thought everybody would be willing to play for less money than they could get elsewhere. That has to be the case right? Flip's gone. Everything's supposed to get better now. What's going on?
I'm pretty sure he becomes restricted and they would be able to. I don't expect him to take this deal, and don't really see what the big deal is if he doesn't. I agree that he likely wouldn't get that much more in free agency anyway.
Amir and Maxi came here the same year. Maxi was older with college experience. So he got the first look. Amir went to D-L. And added much needed bulk and experience. But some of us here thought/knew Amir has the better upside. I think the cream has risen.
I'm not really surprised. I am wishing he will accept but should he decide not to, he can be traded. And our bench is not screwed without JMax. A notch lower that it is supposed to be but definitely not screwed. Last time I checked we still have Dice, Stuckey, Afflalo, and the hullaballoo about Herrmann on that Piston bench. Whatever Kwame and Will Bynum can give us is gravy. JMax, stay man. You're part of a great thing and you're getting handsomely paid for playing basketball. Well, if he gets greedy and doesn't want in, then I'm sure we'll manage, and we realize maybe he might not have been as Piston material as we thought he was. With all that said, I hope he takes it.

In a nod to the corn-on-the-cob often served by street vendors in Mexico, sweet corn is brushed with a smoky chipotle spread before grilling, and then finished with crumbled cheese, cayenne and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
This sophisticated grilled salad provides another delicious reason to make the most of cookout season. The creamy ginger and date dressing packs a spicy bite and is excellent when served with grilled meats and vegetables, too.
Cucumbers and tangy feta cheese make a refreshing accompaniment to garlicky grilled chicken. Chunks of firm fish such as swordfish or salmon can be substituted for the chicken if you like.
Pack this delicious alternative to mayonnaise-based potato salads with more veggies by doubling the amount of cabbage and carrots, if you like.
Use leftover compound butter tossed in pasta, spread on freshly baked biscuits or melted into a fresh vegetable sauté.
The secret to the "perfect" burger isn't in the seasoning; it's in the beef! At Whole Foods Market, our hamburger meat is ground fresh, butcher style in each store. We select only muscle meat and follow strict handling guidelines to ensure its quality. The best...
Use sole or flounder fillets to make this main course, too. Serve with sautéed spinach or kale on the side. The pumpkin seeds can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use.
Bison is lean, high in protein and other nutrients, and outrageously tasty. Grill some zucchini and corn to serve alongside these strip steaks.
Try this! At your game party, instead of chili, serve this hearty soup and learn the budget power of using a little bit of flavorful sausage to create a lot of satisfying food.
This chunky, veggie-packed chili is just the thing for cold-weather comfort or watching the game. A surprise ingredient—cauliflower—adds even more flavor.
This immune-boosting soup is made with a virtual garden of powerful ingredients that contain beneficial nutrients for your immune system.
We hope our gluten-free version of this classic, replacing wheat flour with coconut flour, will please everyone in the family, especially those with a wheat allergy. These super-dark cookies have a cake-like texture and intense chocolate flavor.
Kids will love to help you make this healthy snack since it's fun to spread the nut butter and sprinkle the chocolate chips. No corer in the kitchen drawer? Slice the apples into rounds first then use a small cookie cutter to remove the core from the center of each...
Bring this adzuki bean salad to a picnic as a new and nutritious alternative to potato or pasta salads.
A slightly healthier version of a classic Texas dish, loaded with flavor and mild enough for any crowd. Assemble up to a day in advance or cover tightly and freeze unbaked. To cook, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
Turn everyone's favorite holiday drink into a rich (and amazingly simple) dessert. With just six ingredients, this pie comes together in minutes. Use a store-bought crust or make with your own personal favorite single crust recipe.
Vegetables soaked in a rich hummus marinade and then grilled make a superb topping for these tortilla pizzas, but you could also buy prepared grilled vegetables and just give them a sprinkling of balsamic vinegar.
Serve this delicious soup, based on a traditional Indian dish, with your favorite whole grain bread. It's a warm and comforting bowl of flavorful lentils and vegetables.
For a great meal on the go, add a can of your favorite beans to this salad, wrap it in a whole grain or gluten-free wrap and enjoy.
This crisp snack doesn't actually have any cheese or dairy in it but delivers a cheesy, savory flavor in a healthy way.
This frittata, chock-full of vegetables, is made with two types of tofu, and no eggs.
Make a dairy-free risotto-style rice dish with the use of puréed cashews. By soaking overnight, the cashews soften and create a rich and creamy sauce that transforms frozen rice into a delicious meal.
This simple pasta sauce packs a subtle kick of heat and will generously coat a pound of your favorite type of pasta.

Ever since we saw her self-directed video for "Vanessa" last year, The Wedge has been a big fan and supporter of Montreal's Grimes. Thanks to her Polaris-nominated album Visions, she has become one of the most talked about artists in 2012. So, during a recent stop in Toronto aboard the Full Flex Express Tour with Skrillex and Diplo, we asked Grimes (aka Claire Boucher) to co-host the show with Damian (and a cameo by Grimes pal/collaborator Blood Diamonds). And what better time to do it than while she was getting her nails did?
Spoiler: Damian got his nails did too.

On Thursday evening, January 10, sixteen of the county's top spellers assembled at St. Paul School to compete for Carroll County Public Schools top spelling honor.
After numerous rounds and toppling upper classmen from grades five through eight, St. Paul's fourth grade Abby Leonard, the school's current champion, took top honors.
Spelling such words as "ductile" and "authoritative", she went to the final round where she faced fifth grader Kaylee Rasnick, the champion speller from Oakland Elementary School. The two girls went only two rounds before Leonard was declared the county's outstanding speller.
As the county champion, Leonard will represent Carroll County Public Schools in the Scripps National Spelling competition to be held later this year in Winston Salem, North Carolina.
Leonard is the daughter of Don Leonard, Jr. of Cana and Shawna Leonard. Rasnick is the daughter of Brandy Smith and Robert Rasnick of the Coal Creek Community.
Competitors in the 2013 bee included: Grade 4 - Jeremy Rowlett (FGES), Brianna Holland (GBES), Allison Adams (GVES), Alexis Smith (HES), Riley Bunn (OES) and Abby Leonard (SPS), Grade 5 – Mason Duncan (FGES), Brett Bowman (GBES), Aurora Ingo (GVES), Alexandria Lucas (HES), Kristen Wheatley (LES), Kaylee Rasnick (OES), and Peydon Jones (SPS) Grade 6 – Laken Crockett (WIS) Grade 7 – none present, and Grade 8 – Dylan Quesinberry and Chase Sink – both from CCIS.
Others scheduled to participate but not present were Corey Ring (gr. 4 – LES), Korbin Monday (gr. 6 – SPS), Chelsea Rosier (gr. 6 WIS), Eli Jones (gr. 7 - SPS), Frances Waters (gr. 7 – WIS), McKenzie Sharp (gr. 7 – WIS), and Joey Dalton (gr. 8 – CCIS).

The Greenest Big Companies in America
When David Roberts was growing up near the oilfields of West Texas in the early 1960s, it never got dark. Back then, oilfields were lit 24/7 by the gas flares used to burn off natural gas, a byproduct of oil drilling. The flares released massive amounts of CO2, and over time, oil companies halted that harmful practice in the U.S. But gas flares remain the norm in the developing world—and today Roberts oversees a team at Marathon Oil that's trying to end the practice. In 2007, Marathon opened a $1.5 billion liquid-natural-gas plant in Equatorial Guinea to capture the natural gas that once went up in smoke. The plant is one factor that helped Marathon, No. 100 in NEWSWEEK's Green Rankings, cut its CO2 emissions by 40 percent between 2004 and 2008—and the plant earns a profit.
It's a small example of how the economic case for going green is becoming more compelling. Economists view environmental damage as a classic "externality"—a cost that impacts society but isn't imposed on producers or consumers. But with scientific consensus that carbon emissions threaten our climate, there's growing political will to curb them, particularly with the global powers set to meet in Copenhagen in December. The Obama administration is pushing for a cap-and-trade system that would turn companies' emissions into a bottom-line cost. Smart companies are working to better understand—and cut—those emissions ahead of new regulations.
The inaugural NEWSWEEK Green Rankings recognizes those efforts. For more than a year, the magazine worked with leading environmental researchers KLD Research & Analytics, Trucost, and CorporateRegister.com to rank the 500 largest U.S. companies based on their actual environmental performance, policies, and reputation.
Ranking companies based on sustainability is a huge challenge. That's largely because comparing environmental performance across industries is a bit like analyzing whether Tiger Woods or LeBron James is the world's greatest athlete—there's an inevitable apples-and-oranges element. Some industries are far dirtier than others: a typical financial-services company exacts a smaller environmental toll than even the best-run utility or mining company. Also, many corporations are secretive about key environmental data, if they track the numbers at all. Even among companies that do report green data, there's no uniform standard, so their numbers often aren't comparable.
Despite those obstacles, we worked hard to design a ranking system that makes sense. More than half of companies' overall Green Scores are based on their environmental policies and reputation, industry-neutral metrics that help even the playing field for companies in carbon-intensive businesses. To overcome limited corporate emissions numbers, NEWSWEEK used data from Trucost, which has created a widely acclaimed system for estimating emissions of companies that fail to provide them. (Note, however, that among our Top 100 best-performing companies, 70 voluntarily disclosed the data.) Over time, we hope NEWSWEEK's rankings will become more precise as more companies begin to report their numbers. "One of the purposes of this is to improve the transparency of corporations…and encourage them to provide an even higher level of disclosure," says Thomas Kuh, KLD's managing director.
Many of the companies that finished in our Top 100 are recognized leaders in sustainability. Intel, No. 4 in NEWSWEEK's ranking, recently launched an initiative in which every employee's annual bonus is tied, in part, to how well the company does in meeting sustainability goals. Wal-Mart, No. 59, recently announced plans to create a Sustainability Index that will help consumers better understand which products sold in its stores are greener than others.
Rankings inevitably provoke controversy—and we welcome that. Our hope is to open a conversation on measuring environmental performance—an essential first step toward improving it. The NEWSWEEK Green Rankings for 2009 on the pages ahead provide a snapshot of companies poised at this most important starting line.

Fixing Weak Links in the Supply Chain
Companies ignore the magnitude of their supply-chain environmental impacts—and the environmental and financial risks and opportunities that they represent—at their own peril, writes James Salo.
Are Green Rankings a True Guide To Sustainability?
Changes in ranking methodology have led to a shakeup in the results, and have brought welcome transparency and empiricism to a complicated analysis. John Elkington reports.
What Green Rankings Don't Tell You
Many firms that rank high on environmental lists also lobby for non-green policies, say Aaron Chatterji and Michael Toffel.
Workers Need Sustainability, Too
Even companies with broad and aggressive environmental commitments are neglecting a core component of sustainability: worker health and safety. Heather Lang reports.
'Just Do It Differently'
The move toward sustainability is upending the old ways of doing business. These days, less really is more, says David J. Vidal.

no worries annie,
we seem to have got a tad off-topic here guys (maybe you could put together a new topic to discuss it more ) anybody else met any well-known faces in elvis world?
Thanks for the sweet comment P.S Annie, as i remember you were there on Elvis Week this year, if you dont mind me asking, is that way too over whelming to be there in August with thousand of people ,fans and events ?Originally Posted by P.S. Annie
no worries annie,

Hi Annie,
Nice Sentiment to Buttonhead about visiting Graceland....I was a child fan and never got to meet him or anything, but I visited his home for the first time in last year....you are definitely correct Annie.
Hi Buttonhead, it is quit overwhelming, for me the most important reason to go during Elvis week was because of the Candlelight Vigil. We stayed a couple of days after Elvis week was 'closed' and I must say that I really enjoyed my visit to Graceland more than a couple of days before. Because the second time I was sometimes alone in the rooms, and that is great.

without a song, the road would never bend,
without a song, so I'll keep singing the song.
sorry to take it off-topic again guys but did you know its now possible to pay to spend a night in one of the rooms in graceland? whether true or not i think i may start saving.
should be spending my night there in year 3056
Didn't know that, I heard about the possibility to hire the Lauderdalcourt apartment from a hotel.

it was on tele text over here in the uk.Maybe its a total fake but i kinda like the idea.But maybe not graceland they should be for elvis only .No wait i think it may have been ' bel air ' you can spend the night at still good though .They really should make a museum at 'bel air' with elvis items
Ok guys,
Back to the topical thread of Elvis family & friends - from James Burton to the controversial family members such as D.P.E.
Ok good idea NEA, who did you meet? Please share

Hi Annie,
I met Joe Esposito, Harold Loyd, Jerry Schilling, Becky Martin (Elvis' friend from Tupelo), David Stanley & D.P.E.
I've recently made acquaintances with Elvis' 'Live A Little, Love A Little' co-star, Celeste Yarnall - lovely woman.
Celeste Yarnell, I believe we saw her at the TCB/Legend concerts on august the 13th, is this her??? please correct me if I'm wrong....

..good job Joe E.
If you read the thread about the selling of elvis by friend,family...on few weeks ago thread, it is sad how some of elvis long life friends still making money out off presley name, but its not one way , since the fans of elvis always curious wondering the life they have with the legend.
Well,..thats all i can say about that..for now.

I met Sonny and Judy West while at Elvis Week. Sonny was at the hotel where I was staying and he is just great. Judy is a fantastic lady and I for one applaud any of the MM wives who stayed around as long as she did. Sonny had lots of great stories, one in particular that I won't repeat. NEVER.....EVER...
He answered questions about the book, and didn't hesitate at all. I talked to him before his first appearance and I asked him how did he handle questions about the book. He told me that he will answer them straight, and if someone touches on a subject that he doesn't want to talk about he will just say that.
I sat next to Donna Early at the Legends Concert, she was very polite to me when I needed to get past her to use the bathroom.....
It seems as though Annie and I met almost the same amount of people, one of the nicest was Jordan from Jordans-Elvis-World.........
"Walk A Block In My Socks"
Hi Carolyn,
Good Story....I like to steer clear of the likes of the name 'West'. I'm sure Sonny is a nice guy in this day and age, and appears to have grown-up a lot since 1976. And, he always appears to be quite sincere on Chat shows as opposed to his bitter 'sour grapes' ramblings from the the late seventies.
I reckon Judy must be a very nice person - fair play to her. I will be very interested to pick up a copy of Sonny's new re-tell publication whenever it comes out. I'm sure it will be a lot more sincere and truthful as opposed to the first attempt with his cousin and that old part-timer Dave Hebler.
To be quite truthful, I can't really be bothered with the three of them - but to each their own.
You passed Donna E. to go to the bathroom? - it's a wonder she didn't charge you a fee!....hope you kept your eye on your purse whilst you were seated next to her - lol!
I'm sorry for getting off the subject, but i do have an interesting story that happened in front of the Graceland gates. My girlfriend asked a guy to take our picture in front of the gates. He had an English accent so I told him I liked The Beatles too. He asked what I knew about The Beatles and I said a lot. He asked me if I knew who Tony Sheridan was. I said sure he was the British singer who The Beatles backed up on a rock version of "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean." Well, it turns out this guy was Tony Sheridan, Jr. We had dinner with him and he told us great stories about growing up with The Beatles playing in his back yard. Tony, Jr. is a guitar player, Big Elvis fan, and had a rockabilly band at the time. This was about 3 years ago. That's it.
Hi quinn
Hey what a great story, and a fantastically small world!

Just had the displeasure of watching the Heath Evans rant about Flacco - and it was memorable for its broken logic, preconceived ideas laid out as facts and for the overall negative attitude masquerading as analysis!
He says "Take away that 70 yard pass play and his numbers are midiocre..."
Well, Heath ole bean, if you take away that play, then why not try to take away the Tandon Doss drops too?
He mentioned two overthrows of Torrey Smith.
Well, Heath-ster, I noticed from the NFL Replay that Manning missed several receivers from shorter ranges who were wide open and forced Stokley and Decker to make spectacular diving catches of poorly underthrown balls too!
Hey Heath, I also noticed that once when Flacco was almost sacked and had two defenders draped around him, he managed to complete a pass to Boldin for a first down. If you were watching the Falcons game on Sunday, the same thing happened to Ryan but this time, Ryan threw an INT.
Guess it's OK when one of your favorites makes a mistake, but not for Flacco to make any huh?
Nor do I anticipate you giving him credit for outplaying four of your favorite QBs in the last four playoff games. Silly of me to expect so.

"Well, that was a rather misguided decision."
However, almost nothing stacks up to the bizarre trending story this week from Europe involving a tattoo artist named Rouslan Toumaniantz.
You see, Toumaniantz met the girl of his dreams, Lesya, in an Internet chat room. They fell in love, and finally decided to meet face to face in Moscow. Presumably to wrestle a bear.
That's a standard first date in Russia. Look it up.
However, what makes this all really fun is that within 24 hours of meeting, Toumaniantz had, with consent, tattooed an alternate spelling of his first name over Lesya's face.
"Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy. ..."
Now, when I say he tattooed his name over her face, we're talking full cheek-to-cheek, gothic-style, see-it-from-space lettering. The kind of tattoo so outrageously big and bold and crazy that parents can't even really get mad.
"Your mother and I have discussed this, and we've decided to take a cruise."
Fortunately, the new, happy couple are getting married, and they have big plans to stay together forever. So not to worry. This can't possibly go wrong.
But here's the kicker. Toumaniantz is the same tattoo artist who, in 2009, made international headlines after he inked 56 stars on the face of a Belgian woman named Kimberley Vlaeminck.

I just respeced my Guardian and decided to pick up Retributive Armor form the Valor trait line. It is supposed to take 5% of my total toughness and provide it as a bonus to precision. Let me break down my problem into steps so hopefully someone can help:
First off I'm level 60; I paid to reset all my stat points to zero and I started by putting 10 points into Valor. I picked up the Retributive Armor skill at this point and I saw my critical hit chance jump from 13% to 16%; from this point I continued to dump points into valor to raise my toughness and now my precision as well, but the problem is I no longer gained any precision points alongside my gain in toughness. Each skill thereafter that point I put into Valor raised my Valor by 10 points, but my precision stats stayed exactly the same; shouldn't I be gaining .5 extra precision points for each skill point? I even maxed out my Valor line anticipating 10 extra precision points but I got nothing extra. Does retributive armor only take 5% of the toughness given from armor alone? Kind of confused here and any help is much appreciated.

very comfortable and soft...happy I purchased it.
Snuggle up in this cute full zip hoodie, made from a wool blend that gives you a vintage sweater look and modern fleece feel. The fuzzy interior keeps you cozy, while the exterior dresses up for cocktail parties and concerts with the toggle closure and knit elbow patches.
65% wool / 35% polyester
Three toggle detail over full zip closure • Knit elbow patches • Hanging hood • Raglan sleeves for freedom of motion • Sweater-knit face with soft, fuzzy interior
26" center back length
very comfortable and soft...happy I purchased it.
Great! We are glad you like the style and the material it is made of. Thanks for the feedback.
Sized as Expected
on brisk days as an outer layer
I really like the way this jacket fits. It is true to size. I love the zipper with the toggles. It says dry clean only and I have washed it on wool setting and line dried it and turned out just fine. One thing that is very irritating is that the wool balls up but I suppose this is typical of wool. Not a biggy. Overall it will be in my wardrobe a long time.
Thank you for your helpful comments on the fit and washing. We love to see you like the zipper/toggle closure! We appreciate your feedback.
Sized as Expected
Everyday wear for any casual occasion.
This is a super cute jacket!!! I thought the size would be weird because in previous reviews I read that it was really long. But it's perfect length. I thought it would be a lot more heavy weight than it is. But it's pretty cuddly for a light jacket. The 3 buttons in front dress it up so you can wear it with slacks or jeans.
We are glad you like the length of this style and the stylish buttons in the front. Thanks for the awesome review.
Sized as Expected
Wear it as a light weight jacket to work. Not to hot and not too cold!
I just received the jacket. (Speedy ground shipping!) I washed it in the washer even though it says dry clean only. (Yes really) But before I put it in the wash I tried it on to make sure it fit. It looks super cute with jeans and tights! Perfect to wear to work if your dress code is business casual or casual. Also dresses up a look that otherwise would look simple. Very comfy. A little scratchy at first until I washed it and used some softener. The length is perfect! Its longer than I would prefer most of my jackets, but because this is so cute and able to be worn with anything its perfect! The only CON I found is when I did put it on, to close all of the "tassels" I had to zip the jacket all the way. I wish the top tassel was a little lower cause I don't usually wear my jackets and sweaters zipped up all the way unless its super cold out.( I guess I should of read the description before I purchased) Overall I think this jacket will be perfect to wear daily and to work, holiday parties or just because its comfy around the house. Thanks Merrell for making another great product!
Thanks so much for the great feedback on this zip-up jacket. We are happy to hear it is cozy and comfortable! Thanks for the review.
Sized as Expected
Everyday and work

Spaniard Pedro de la Rosa has signed a deal with Ferrari, to become their development driver.
The former HRT driver, who until today was unemployed when the Spanish team folded last year, will take on the role as development driver for the Italian marquee, the team said Wednesday. Pedr de la Rosa has had a long career as test and reserve driver, starting at Jordan in 1998, then went to Arrows for 1999 and scored his first championship point in the Australian Grand Prix that year. For 2001 de la Rosa signed a three year deal with Jaguar, but the effort ended with a goodbye a year earlier, as the results didn´t show. Between 2003 and 2009, Pedro de la Rosa was working with McLaren, both as test and reserve driver, but also as race driver. Juan Pablo Montoya injured his shoulder and de la Rosa took over the car, leading to a fifth place in the Bahrain GP.
From 2010 to 2011, de la Rosa was hired by BMW Sauber/Sauber and drove 14 races for the swiss team, was dropped in favour of Nick Heidfeld, a move that was seen as not tought through by Sauber. De la Rosa then replaced Heidfeld as test driver for Pirelli, but was soon back in action when Sergio Perez got injured during the Monaco GP, so the Spaniard raced the Canadian GP, eventually finishing 12th after torrential downpour had red-flagged the race.
Pedro de la Rosa returned to McLaren as test driver for 2011, and for 2012 it was announced that he would form one half of the driver line-up at HRT, the team that never really got the hang of things. As the HRT team folded last year, de la Rosa was without a job, until Ferrari picked him up.
The team also announced that they will reveal their 2013 challenger on February 1, at Maranello, the same day Force India reveals their car.


text: Technical Abstract: The effects of chromium picolinate (Cr-pic) supplementation and resistance training (RT) on skeletal muscle size, strength, and power, and whole body composition were examined in 18 men, age range 56-69 y. The men were randomly assigned (double-blind) to groups (n=9) that consumed either 17.8 umol Cr/d (924 ug Cr/d) as Cr-pic or a low-Cr placebo for 12 wk while participating twice weekly in a high-intensity RT program. Cr-pic increased urinary Cr excretion about 50-fold (P<0.001). RT-induced increases in muscle strength (P<0.001) were not enhanced by Cr-pic. Arm pull muscle power increased with RT at 20% (P=0.016), but not at 40%, 60%, or 80% of the one repetition maximum (1RM), independent of Cr-pic. Knee extension muscle power increased with RT at 20%, 40%, and 60% (P<0.001), but not at 80% of 1RM, and the placebo group gained more muscle power than the Cr-pic group (RT-by-Suppl. interaction, P<0.05). Fat-free mass (P<0.001), protein plus mineral mass (P<0.001), muscle mass (P<0.001), and type II fiber area (P<0.05), increased with RT in these body weight-stable men, independent of Cr-pic. In conclusion, high-dose chromium picolinate supplementation did not enhance muscle size, strength or power development or lean body mass accretion by older men during a resistance training program which had significant, independent effects on these measures.

This is what Justine said about planning the party- "I recently styled my daughter's first birthday which was held overseas whilst we were on vacation visiting the grandparents. I'd like to share how and what I did to design the party with the limited resources that I had with me as I was in a different country.
As my daughter was born just 4 days before my husband's birthday, we took her home from the hospital for the first time on his birthday so when we were deciding on a theme for her first birthday we both knew that "Daddy's Little Princess" was the way to go. Styling in a different country was like working with a blank canvas as I had limited resources and contacts. However, I was inspired by my daughter's ruffle tutu gown to create a special tutu-like princess dessert table. I designed a trestle cover that was made out of multiple layers of tulle which was then custom made by a local seamstress. Party printables were custom designed by Mon Tresor, and the backdrop was designed by myself. I custom made princess party hats that were embelished with lace and princess veils, converted from regular dollar shop party hats. I also hand made princess tutu cupcake toppers from crepe paper which were sewn together and affixed to pink paper straws. Accompanying the beautiful ruffle ombre crown topper cake were delicious desserts like Sparkle Fairy Cookie Pops, Crown Cookies with little Princesses names, Pink Macarons, Lemon Meringue, Strawberry Yogurt Mousse and Vanilla Cupcakes. Also, there was a gorgeous display of pink and white colored candy in apothecary jars embellished with a variety of my daughter's gorgeous headbands. Mini "milk bottles" were converted from juice bottles from a local supermarket. Other details included pre-wrapped tulle almond candy packs for guests who left early before the candy bar was open, a "Cinderella's Feet" impressions kit activity for my daughter's little guests to take part in as they are all still very young which also worked as a keepsake from the party. Each girl went home with a personalised princess story book featuring their names as well as my daughter's name in the story line. A polaroid booth was also setup for all the guests as well as take-home candy bags for all who came to celebrate this special day. The kid's table was decorated with tutu chair covers which also doubled up as a take home gift for the older girls." Items used in this party available in Kara's Party Ideas Shop:Striped Paper Straws

Way better than cotton balls
By K80NYC

Comments about DHC Silky Cotton:
I love these! The individually wrapped pads are smooth and absorbent, and don't leave cotton wool bits behind. They don't pull on the skin. I will never use another cotton ball.

Cannot Live Without These
By Kathy
from Santa Barbara
See all my reviews
I spent years trying to find a cotton anything that wouldn't shred or shrink and would just work; never happened. Then ta-da! Thank you DHC. As I said in the title, can't live without 'em. Last and last and last. Buy 'em, you won't regret it.
Awesome Pads
By Sandra
from Center Conway, NH
I use these wonderful pads twice a day after facial cleansing. There is nothing else like them on the market that I have ever found. They are so strong and sturdy and are fabulous for taking off eye makeup. They are more expensive than any other pad out there, but so worth it as they are fantastic.
By YaYa
from Pace, FL
These are wonderful for makeup removal, especially waterproof eye makeup. They are smooth and don't scratch or irritate the tender eye area. I love this product!
Love this product!!!
By Gvicki
from Hongkong
This is as seen in Japan. Best use for applying lotion after cleansing.
Perfect pads
By southernbelle
from New Orleans, Louisiana
The only pad I use for eye makeup removal. Gentle on my eyes, but durable and lint-free.
The Absolute Best Ever!
By LMS48
from Waterloo, Iowa
These are the greatest ever! They work wonderfully, and besides, they are very inexpensive! I remove makeup w/ them,cleanse my face w/ them, AND I've even cleaned spots off of clothes and counter tops w/ them! They DO NOT SHED or fall apart;unlike any/all the other cotton balls/pads on the market! I purchase these w/ all my orders!
The Perfect Cotton Pad
By Dianna
from Texas
I've been buying several boxes of these a year for awhile now. Use them for toning, removing eye makeup and nail polish. I've also used them for cleaning / polishing jewelry. They never fall apart or leave 'fuzz'.
How you apply products matters
By Ballet Performer
from Oakland, CA
Repeated rubbing of rough materials against any skin causes calluses, especially the delicate skin of your face. Using soft cotton pads for toner application and make-up removal is an important step in your beauty care.
By PGarmon
from Port Saint Joe, Fl
I've tried every cotton ball, pad, patch, square, oblong and round to remove make-up and apply toner. . .NOTHING has proven to be of any use. UNTIL these lovely silk pads which are Perfect!!


text: OK I got some better pictures of the TB. The top hole in the pic below goes nowhere, it's not very deep and is full of something (JB weld?) The bottom hole has no threads, and is much shorter than the idle adjustment on my other 2 throttle bodies. The last pic is the line that came in it when I first received it.Any ideas?

DPS Troopers Searching For Driver They Blame For Deadly Crash
By: Big 2 News Staff
Updated: December 11, 2012
The deadly rollover happened along Highway 385, south of Odessa, about 4:45 p.m.
Troopers say a car pulled out from a driveway in front of the S.U.V., forcing the driver of the S.U.V. to swerve and ultimately flip.
Troopers say the two people in the S.U.V. were rushed to a local hospital. One did not survive.
No names are being released tonight.
Authorities don't know much about the car they say caused the crash, they're only saying it was silver in color.

By Peggy Guthrie, co-pastor
Salvation Army Church
I've recently been reading the book "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. In each chapter, he explains our real purpose on Earth and states profound truths in simple ways. In one particular chapter, titled, "A Place to Belong," Rick explains how being part of a healthy church is essential to living a healthy life. God created the church to meet your five deepest needs: a purpose to live for, people to live with, principles to live by, a profession to live out, and power to live on. There is no other place on Earth where you can find all five of these benefits in one place.
Worship helps you focus on God; fellowship helps you face life's problems; discipleship helps fortify your faith; ministry helps find your talents; evangelism helps fulfill your mission. There is nothing else on Earth like the church.
The comparison is made of a child who is born - he or she automatically becomes a part of the universal family of human beings. But that child also needs to become a member of a specific family to receive nurture and care and grow up healthy and strong. The same is true spiritually. When you were born again, you automatically became a part of God's universal family, but you also need to become a member of a local expression of God's family.
The difference between being a church attender and a church member is commitment. Attenders are spectators from the sidelines; members get involved in the ministry. Attenders are consumers; members are contributors. Attenders want the benefits of a church without sharing the responsibility. They are like couples who want to live together without committing to a marriage.
Warren asks, "Why is it important to join a local church family? Because it proves you are committed to your spiritual brothers and sisters in reality, not just in theory. God wants you to love real people, not ideal people. You can spend a lifetime searching for the perfect church, but you will never find it. You are called to love imperfect sinners, just as God does, remembering that you are imperfect also."
In Acts, the Christians in Jerusalem were very specific in their commitment to each other. They were devoted to fellowship. The Bible says, "They committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles, the life together, the common meal, and the prayers." Acts 2:42 (MSG)
God expects you to commit to the same things today.
The Christian life is more than just commitment to Christ; it includes a commitment to other Christians. The Christians in Macedonia understood this. Paul said, "First they gave themselves to the Lord; and then, by God's will, they gave themselves to us as well." 2 Cor. 8:5 (TEV)
Joining the membership of a local church is the natural next step once you've become a child of God. You become a Christian by committing yourself to Christ, but you become a church member by committing yourself to a specific group of believers. The first decision brings salvation; the second brings fellowship.
Point to ponder: I am called to belong, not just believe.
