Barkley, Hitzlsperger and Fellaini feature in Thursday's round-up.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
THOMAS Hitzlsperger has been inspired by Leon Osman's England call-up - and intends to apply his Everton FC team-mate's persistence to his own career.
The 30-year-old midfielder made his first Premier League start for the Blues alongside Osman at Reading last weekend, and the duo's impressive pairing was one of the few highlights of an otherwise frustrating afternoon.
And while Hitzlsperger admits it will take him time to get back to his best after being out injured for months, he believes Osman's call-up for England's recent friendly against Sweden sends out a positive message to other players who have been written off on the international scene.
The former Lazio and Aston Villa veteran, who won 52 caps for his country before being left out of Joachim Low's squad for the last World Cup, said: "He has proved that you should never rule out playing for your country.
"He has played for such a long time and had to wait a long time to get his first cap and it proves if you work hard and keep going for the team you get rewards in the end.
"He's a good example and I look at it the same way. I was very pleased for him getting his first England cap. I watched him play against Sweden and thought he did very well - he's very important to this club that's clear.
"I've just come in and been out for a long time. I've got a long way to go but I look forward to it."
HOW could you improve on footballing perfection?
Many observers claim the current Barcelona side are unparalleled in their master of the beautiful game – but when it comes to fantasy football, former Everton winger
Ronnie Goodlass reckons he knows how the Catalonian giants could be even better.
"Alan Ball would have walked into that team," says the man who once cleaned Ball's boots as a trainee at Goodison.
"People talk about Barca's great football but Everton used to play a 4-3-3 formation in the late 60/early 70s – they were ahead of their time in that respect.
"The current side are amazing to watch but they're a bit quiet for me. Bally would be dishing out orders, encouraging his team-mates and adding a spark in both personality and quality."
Goodlass is reminiscing about the man he – along with thousands of other Evertonians – idolised, ahead of the release of a special DVD dedicated to one of the finest players in the club's history.
Proceeds of the 'Alan Ball Remembered' disc will go to Goodlass's own charity 'Health Through Sport', an initiative to aid Merseyside youngsters from a variety of marginalised and disadvantaged backgrounds.
And Goodlass hopes it will make the perfect Christmas present for Blues of a certain age, and fans who never saw the great man perform in royal blue.
He said: "I've always told kids that I've coached to pick the right role model, and I certainly did in Bally.
"These days a lot of youngsters look up to players for their ability and that's fine but it's the whole person that's important.
"Bally had it all. Not only was he one of the all time greats, he was a good guy and a real family man. His whole ethos was about performing to the best of your ability all the time."
Goodlass, who played 50 games for the Toffees during the 70s, said Ball never gave anything less than 100% while he was at Everton.
"Watching him in training was great," he said. "He'd be out there on the training pitch treating a game of five a side like it was the World Cup final. That work ethic and commitment is part of what makes every Everton icon and it's part of the club's DNA.
"But he had exceptional ability too and that's discussed in the DVD by other legends like Kendall, Royle and Sharp."
The DVD also features footage of one of World Cup winner Ball's last after-dinner speeches in Liverpool, before his untimely death from a heart attack in 2007.
"For me he was up there with Cruyff and Maradona," added Goodlass
EVERTON FC'S media officers were understandably twitchy about questions regarding Marouane Fellaini's immediate future.
They needn't have worried.
The in-form Belgian brought up the subject unprompted, and was happy to predict an Everton hereafter involving his significant skills.
But, as always with Fellaini, there was a caveat.
"I want to give everything for Everton," he said. "They brought me here from Standard Liege and gave me my chance to play in the Premier League, and I always want to repay them for that.
"I had two big injuries here and they stuck by me and I worked very hard to come back from them. I feel good now in terms of my fitness.
"If Everton finish in the top four then I'm happy to stay because I want to play in the Champions League. I'd be happy to do that at Everton. I want to do that."
Everton's intensely frustrating defeat at Reading at the weekend saw the Blues slip out of the Premier League's top four for pretty much the first time all season.
The next month could be pivotal to their hopes of climbing back into the Champions League frame.
After Saturday's visit of Norwich, for which Fellaini is suspended, the Blues face Arsenal, champions Manchester City and Tottenham in the space of 11 days.
It is a testing spell which could advertise just how realistic Everton's ambitions are for the rest of the campaign.
ROSS Barkley wants to prove he has the consistency to match his undoubted ability now he has returned to Everton FC.
The 18-year-old midfielder is back at Goodison Park after his two-month loan spell with Sheffield Wednesday came to an end earlier this week.
Barkley made 12 starts and one substitute appearance for the Championship outfit, scoring four goals and left with the endorsement of Owls boss Dave Jones ringing in his ears.
Following his return, Moyes said he felt regular first-team football had benefited the youngster.
And, having added to the 10 competitive run-outs he made for the Blues last term, Barkley believes he is now ready to thrive in the Premier League.
He said: "I enjoyed it. I was there for two months and it was valuable experience, which I needed because playing in the Under-21s, it's good, but you need to be playing competitive football for points.
"It helped. By going away I feel like I've turned into a better player. I've learned quite a lot in a short space of time. I believe I'm better prepared now, more consistent.
"The players talk more because they're fighting for points and we were low in the league and trying to get up. Also with the Under-21s, it's not really as physical as it is in the Championship, and it's much better playing in front of crowds too."
Moyes sent a member of his backroom staff to report back on the youngster every time he appeared for Wednesday, even watching him twice himself.
Barkley added: "It was nice to know he was watching. It shows he wants to know how I'm getting on, how I'm progressing and how I'm learning.
"Now I just want to make an impression. The manager's just said to do what I'm doing in training, do what I'm doing in matches and be ready to take my chance."
MAROUANE FELLAINI has declared he is happy to stay at Everton beyond next summer – provided the club qualify for the Champions League.
Fellaini's future has been the subject of intense speculation ever since the Belgium international intimated in September that this would be his last season at Goodison.
It prompted rumours of renewed interest in the 25-year-old with Chelsea and Arsenal having subsequently again been linked.
Fellaini has been Everton's stand-out performer this season, their leading scorer with six goals and a driving force behind their challenge to a top-four finish.
And the midfielder believes if his ambitions can be realised at Goodison then there is no reason to push for a transfer, while calling for more reinforcements in the New Year transfer window.
"If Everton finish in the top four then I'm happy to stay because I want to play in the Champions League," said Fellaini. "I'd be happy to do that at Everton. I want to do that.
"We've got some very good players here, but if we can bring in one or two more in January then it will be a big, big help."
Fellaini will sit out Saturday's Premier League visit of Norwich City as he serves a one-match suspension having accrued a fifth yellow card in last weekend's shock 2-1 defeat at struggling Reading.
The Belgian will return for next Wednesday's visit of Arsenal, the first of a run of three difficult games in 12 days that sees Everton travel to champions Manchester City next weekend and then entertain Tottenham Hotspur the following Sunday.
And Fellaini added: "The run of games we have coming up will have a big impact on our season.
"This is a big month for us, we'll know a lot more about how well we can do this season afterwards. We have a lot of points up for grabs and it can make a big difference."
Marouane Fellaini has broken his silence over his future by insisting he wants to stay at Everton... if they qualify for the Champions League.
The Belgium international has found himself at the centre of some frenzied speculation, after admitting on a return to his home country recently it is his desire to one day play for one of Europe's biggest clubs.
With Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United all watching him closely over the past few months, that has inevitably led to conjecture he will leave Goodison, despite signing a new long-term contract only a year ago.
And now, in an exclusive interview with the Mirror, Fellaini has spelt out his ambition by making clear his desire to play in the Champions League.
The midfielder is desperate to do that with Everton, but the clear inference must be that he will consider his options in the summer if they don't manage it.
"I want to play in the Champions League, and if Everton finish in the top four then I'm happy to stay here - I'd love to do that with Everton," he explained.
"I want to do that. I want to improve as a player, and I want to give everything for Everton. They brought me here from Standard Liege and gave me my chance to play in the Premier League, and I always want to repay them for that.
"I had two big injuries and they stuck by me and I worked very hard to come back from them. I feel good now in terms of my fitness, and I want to go to the next level, in the Champions League."
Fellaini is an Everton icon - a fact emphasised by his appearance at Gwladys Street School this week, where he was acting as an ambassador for the Everton in the Community scheme.
To mark the 25th anniversary of the project, a £1million fund-raising campaign to help support the local community is being launched, with Fellaini as its spearhead.
The afro-sporting star admitted he is thrilled to be seen as an iconic figure because of his unique appearance.
But he wants to be remembered first and foremost for his footballing ability - and he passionately believes that the club can seriously challenge for the Champions League if they first show ambition in the looming winter transfer window.
"We've got some very good players here, but if we can bring in one or two more in January then it will be a big, big help," he insisted.
"There is a lot of quality in the team, and a lot of ambition, and I hope Everton will finish in the top four.
"I know I have my special look with my big hair, but I play football, and being good enough to play in the Champions League is what I want to be known for.
"We are good enough for fourth. We have quality players who can compete and if we can add a couple more players then it will help us even more."
The good news for Everton fans is that Fellaini seems determined to stick it out for at least the rest of the campaign and try to steer the club into the top four.
He believes that the next month will show us far more about the Blues' chances of slugging it out with the top teams at the head of the Premier League - they face
Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea in the coming weeks.
And Fellaini is excited by the challenge.
"This is a big month for us, we'll know a lot more about how well we can do this season afterwards," he explained.
"We are playing the big teams, and we will see a lot more about where we stand after we play them. We have a lot of points up for grabs and it can make a big difference.
"But we think we are good enough. We have the quality, and we have to score more goals to take the points we deserve.
"Against Reading in our last game we created the chances to have won easily, and we have to take those now."

9 Ways to Scent Your Home Without Candles
With the approach of colder weather and more time spent indoors with the windows closed, we're more conscious of the scents in our home. Usually we burn candles but since we discovered that some friends are allergic, we've come up with other ways they can perfume their home...
- A Crackling Fire: Does your home have a working fireplace? Nothing says cozy like the sound and smell of a burning fire. Experiment with different woods until you find one you like
- Bake up some treats: We love baking and it's also the easiest way to perfume our home. The warm smell of butter and sugar is universally inviting. Of course we love the added bonuses: the goodies that are the end result and the heat from the oven that warms up a chilly house.
- Boiling: Throw cinnamon sticks and cloves in a pot of water and let it warm over a low flame. As the steam rises, it scents the air (and adds a little needed moisture). You can also experiment with the smell of your favorite teas.
- Shred scent strips: At this time of year magazines are full of perfume ads and their accompanying scent strips. Shred them to release their scent.
- Extracts: The vanilla extract you use for baking can also be used to scent your home. Distribute the extract in pretty bottles throughout your home; as the alcohol in the extract evaporates, the scent is left behind. We also like almond, orange and lemon extracts.
- Double duty disposal: Clean your garbage disposal and perfume your home at the same time by throwing citrus peels and ice cubes down your disposal. Turn on the hot water while you run the disposal to distribute the scent.
- Fruit bowls: Bowls of lemons, limes or oranges not only look pretty but they also add their fresh scent to your home. Try making an old fashioned pomander (stick cloves into oranges) to hang in your closets.
- Cook: Before I learned to cook I'd fry up some onions while opening up boxes of take out. The fried onions and the take out boxes went into the garbage leaving behind "home cooked food" and the scent of onions that had my guests fooled.
- Flowers: Choose those with scents you like to perfume your home
Share the ways you scent your home in the comments.

Two thoughts on this:
1. Wouldn't citrus peels quickly rot and create a quite unpleasant scent? (not to mention attract fruit flies)
2. TEA! Open tea bags (peppermint and chamomile are my favorite) and pour contents into pretty glass dishes. The leaves not only emit a pretty yet unsweet smell, they absorb foul odors throughout your home. This works particularly well in the bathroom.
There is nothing like a real fire!!
um, if your friends are allergic to scented candles, i'm certain they'd find scented and shredded perfume ads even worse. trust me on this, nothing says "nausea" like a perfume strip in a magazine.
because i am extremely sensitive to perfumes, i suggest soy candles scented with natural essential oils. not only are the natural scents less offensive, soy candles pollute far less.
My advise as a long time allergy sufferer and scent-burning aficionado- Burn good quality candles- bee or soy wax with natural scents from essential oils (i.e. not java vanilla latte or pumpkin spice). Stick with 1 or 2 clean scent! Burn high quality japanese incense like Baieido, which uses REAL sandalwood and spices or Snow Lion (Tibetan) which is blended from REAL herbs. Use incense that has food grade ingredients and has a REAL world scent- not an invention of the perfume industry. Use organic essential oils (I use divine essences from Montreal) that are sustainable and organic and put them in your humidifier or heat diffuser. Resin incense produces lots of smoke but can actually help allergies- Frankincense cleanses the air if you have the flu, we always burn it when sick.
I've got to agree with a previous commenter, I don't mind a regular candle but those magazines perfumes drive my sinuses CRAZY. I would imagine a lot of people sensitive to candles would be sensitive to those too.
I made a diffuser for the bathroom, with a glass bottle, some 'Mrs. Myers' Lemon Clean Day Soap' the lemon verbena scent, and used a couple bamboo skewers as diffusing rods. Just flip them over whenever you need to freshen the room. The smell is fresh, clean and all natural.
Reed diffusers - you can get them anywhere dirt cheap.
Does anyone know where that green table comes from?
Please no perfume ads!
I cannot tolerate any artificial scents, and natural candles with essential oils are a godsend.
I have a little slatkin candle from B&BW in balsam that my husband and I LOVE. We keep it in our bathroom medicine cabinet, lid off, and rarely light it, but it keeps the room very lightly scented like Christmas trees :P
...but I have to say the best smells (particularly this time of year) are from baking!
I'm looking for something exactly like the green table as well. I need a c-table where the top can be swung out of the way. Looks like the green table has that function. Thanks in advance!
We use a little distilled water with a drops of essential oils in it. Place in a spray bottle and use to freshen linens, curtains, or just spray in the air (helping to humidify as well). Another favourite is to warm coffee beans in the oven and then put in small glass bowls and place around the house.
In cold weather if you're having guests over, make mulled wine or mulled cider. The house smells nice, and you have a warming drink to offer your friends.
If you're decorating for fall or winter with evergreen boughs, pine cones, or dry or fresh eucalyptus, these will definitely also bring their own spicy scents.
In general, if expecting allergic guests, I steer clear of all man-made scents -- they're much likelier to cause a reaction than essential oils, spices, or tinctures from plants.
Real beeswax candles. They don't need to have any additional scents in them -- the beeswax alone smells divine!
I can't believe you would fry onions just to fake people into thinking you'd cooked something from scratch.
I spy a packet of McVitie's digestives. YUUM.
Wish I knew about the table, but I suspect it's a UK thing, which I am not.
outonalimb -- I ditto you -- beeswax candles leave a wonderful mellow scent without being overpowering.
Maybe not shredded perfume samples—scents like that can be painful to sit in a room with. I'm a fan of the fire, baking, cooking and garbage disposal methods. I also like the smell of recently-brewed coffee, but that might just be me.
Japanese incense is very light and more than tolerable for people with allergen sensitivities (like me); the Nippon Kodo co. has a non-traditional line that has food scents that are amazing (a chocolate/coffee scent called Paris Cafe is my favorite).
I would be doing all those other things to cover up a fried onion smell.
1. that prom dress spam is amazing!
2. i have recently discovered tuberoses at my local farmer's market. i really hope no illegal immigrants are picking them for horribly low wages because i can't help but buy them every week, the natural perfume is SO amazing. a couple stems in the living room and a couple in the bedroom, and our house smells amazing!
I'm as amazed as most here seem to be at the idea of using magazine perfume strips. Those are the bane of the magazine industry. When they find a way to scent the internet, we're in big trouble!
My grocery store sells those country-style cinnamon brooms for decoration/scent. I put it in the bathroom and the smell lasts a few months.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who balked at the idea of using perfume strips from magazines. I'm really sensitive to scents (strong perfumes are one of my migraine triggers), and the first thing I do when I buy a magazine is rip those horrid things out and put them in the garbage can outside--I can't stand even having them in the trash can inside!
the article already mentioned my favorites (lemons in the garbage disposal, cinnamon & spices on the stove) but i also LOVE the smell of cedar or other woodsy branches. evergreen branches smell amazing...refreshing, clean, cozy, warming. it's everything you could want! :)
I fill a small stainless steel bowl with water and a few drops of essential oil (usually orange, cedar, sandalwood, lavender, lemon- nothing too pungent) on one or two radiators in the house. It smells glorious.
Marce, firstfriday:
I just saw this table mentioned in another AT post:
It looks like it's Jasper Morrison's NesTable:
Unfortunately for me, it's far from inexpensive...
I would try a Scentsy Warmer. There is no flame (a warmer uses a low-wattage light bulb) and the wax doesn't evaporate into the air so there is less risk of a conflict with allergies. The wax also doesn't exceed body temperature so there is no burn risk to your pets or children.
You can find out more HERE
I don't know why the link (above) didn't work.
Ikea makes a similar "laptop" table for really cheap... it's called the "dave". I used mine to death. It's certainly not as pretty as the green one, though...
A HVAC scenting system is also a great idea something I installed a Ecoscent fragrance diffuser to scent my entire home http://www.air-aroma.com/ecoscent I can highly recommend it
Whoops, link didn't work http://www.air-aroma.com/ecoscent for some reason

Hartford — Brittney Griner scored 25 points, including the 3,000th of her career, to help No. 1 Baylor rally and beat third-ranked Connecticut 76-70 on Monday night, extending the Lady Bears' winning streak to 23 games.
Griner became the eighth player in Division I history to reach the milestone, doing it on two free throws with 1:05 left.
The defending national champion Lady Bears' only loss this season came in Hawaii against Stanford back in November. Baylor (25-1) went 40-0 last season en route to the school's second national championship.
Baylor led 54-53 midway through the second half before Griner took over. She scored seven points during the burst, and her putback made it 67-61 with 5 minutes left.
UConn rallied behind Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis to make it a 67-65, but Griner answered with a putback. Then she hit the two free throws 1:30 later to make it 73-67 and seal the win.
Mosqueda-Lewis led the Huskies with 26 points and 15 rebounds.

"Sugar Mountain" is a song by Canadian folk rock singer and composer Neil Young. Young composed the song on his 19th birthday in 1964, and its lyrics are reminiscences about his youth in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This version is from an Ed pre-set before the 8/21/09 show in Toronto, Canada.

Shelby Poole, the owner of Jackson's Restaurant in Commack, New York, uses regular paper in her cash register. She believes it's safer than the more common thermal imaging receipts used by many businesses.
Thermal paper contains the chemical bisphenol-A, also known as BPA. The chemical is already banned from baby bottles and sippy cups.
Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone signed into law the Safer Sales Slip Act, which bans businesses from using thermal paper receipts.
Legislator Steve Stern sponsored the bill because he believes BPA is absorbed through the skin and can cause diseases and disorders.
But not everyone is convinced that BPA is dangerous. The American Council on Science and Health said numerous studies have never shown that BPA is a threat to health.
Businesses won't be fined until 2014.
The county executive said officials will use this year to educate businesses and give them a chance to switch over to the new system.

France's Lounge Lothario Shares His Damascene Moment in a Guy Aroch Film
Libidinous French musician Sébastien Tellier unveils his new spiritual self in director and fashion photographer Guy Aroch's short. The singer waxes lyrical on God, Santa Claus and the color blue, and is seduced by his interviewer—model turned celebrated weather girl Lorraine Denis—into a sensual dreamscape. Featuring the track "Pépito Bleu" from Tellier's latest album My God is Blue, the video is a change of pace for Israeli-born director Aroch, who has shot the likes of Vanessa Paradis and Christy Turlington and produced editorials for The New York Times, British Vogue and Marie Claire. "Sébastien is a unique thinker with a strong sense of humor, so I wanted to give him a fun platform to tell his story," explains Aroch, who shares the musician's 70s-inspired aesthetic and voluptuous vision of femininity. Shedding the steamy skin of his previous LP Sexuality, Tellier's fourth record sees his reinvention as a musical messiah heralding the dawn of L'Alliance Bleue. "I'd love people to say, 'Tellier is the Dalí of music,'" offers the former Eurovision participant. "Dalí did something surreal yet pertinent, that's why I love his work, and I hope to do that musically." Here the eccentric visionary gets philosophical.
What is the message of My God is Blue?
What I try to do is encourage people to put dreams and imagination back into the heart of society. I want people to believe in something that doesn't exist. God? Why not? But the Loch Ness monster, unicorns and Santa Claus also work. We should accept forces that surpass us.
How do you avoid being repetitive?
I try to renew myself constantly. Between each album, I change personality, clothes, car and apartment. I try and like films I used to hate. Once I feel I've entered a new cycle, that I'm truly different, I know I'm ready to create a new album. Otherwise, what is the point?
What is the biggest change with this album?
For this album, I didn't want to look at the past or look at my childhood memories. Instead, I imagined the future. I wanted to be a soothsayer, create the pop of the future. The best way to summarize the album is that it uses strength to talk about tenderness.
Why blue?
I wanted to convey the vision of a tiny little human standing next to an immense, bright blue tidal wave. I wanted to remind people of the minuscule-ness of human kind.
What are your predictions about the future?
I don't imagine a very happy future for our planet. I feel we are reaching the end of a cycle, we are entering a new cycle, and this transition could be a very difficult moment to go through.
What is the L'Alliance Bleue?
It is a movement I am creating around this album. People will soon be able to register online and take personality tests to gauge their imagination potential. They will be able to give donations, and strips of land on which we—me and the faithful—will all live together. We will create a new, better world that people will enter to live truly free lives. Surgeons will become poets; their donations will be used towards their own new lives, like a gift to themselves. For example, the money could be used for fireworks in their honor after they read their first poem.
What would you do in L'Alliance Bleue?
My dream is to become a scientist. These are the most important people in the world. What you want from life is to feel good and to live forever, and only science can bring this to us. I think the world should be solely composed of scientists—who kill illnesses and make us eternal—and artists, to entertain them.
What does freedom mean to you?
Freedom is about needing nothing, about being a sophisticated savage. It's about listening to your desires with refinement, and to live in wilderness, only with more thought.

Perfect townhouse, perfect location!
Our family stayed here for a week during February vacation. It is located less than than 5 minutes drive from Attitash so it was ideally located for skiing but away from the congestion of North Conway. The condo was very clean, comfortable and warm and at the end of a cold day skiing we looked forward to coming back to a log fire and a jacuzzi bath. We made most meals here and found the kitchen to be well equiped. The WiFi was essential for us and was very fast. Our teenage kids enjoyed having their own space to hang out in and are already asking when we will be returning. Thanks again Conor!
Wonderful visit to the White Mountains
What a wonderful long weekend. This unit was very comfortable, easy to find and conveniently located. The unit was well equipped - had everything you could need from bedding, games and entertainment (cable tv, dvds, video games, board games, and books), and a well stocked kitchen. The tennis court and pool is close to the unit, yet the yard area is very private. There are hiking trails right in the neighborhood. We explored downtown North Conway, enjoyed the restaurants and shops; hiked Diana's Bath; visited Story Land; and had a great fine dining experience at The Cider Company. Can't wait to come back again!
We were looking for a nice but reasonable place to stay for our family trip. Amy's was exactly what we wanted. The home was clean, comfortable and very spacious. The kids loved the finished basement for playing with the toys provided. They also truly enjoyed having their own space. During our visit, our car was broken and towed so we had to wait for a new car's arrival for a whole day. Our kids just enjoyed playing on the basement and never complained. It was cold and very soggy during our visit, however using fireplace kept us comfortable. The location was ideal with easy access to Attitash where our kids wanted to ride a mountain coaster. Amy was very responsive to any questions. We would certainly stay here again. Thanks, Amy.

First Ever Gay & Lesbian Tour Of South Dakota Slated For National Coming Out Week
A gay photo-op at the famous Mt. Rushmore presidential monument, a coming out prairie bonfire, press conferences, video screenings, workshops, university classroom teach-ins and much more are scheduled for South Dakota's first-ever organized celebration of National Coming Out Week (NCOW), October 7 - 15. NCOW in South Dakota will be celebrated with a statewide tour by national and local activists and a week of educational events. Robert Bray, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) field organizer, and Barry Wick, leader of the newly formed Free Americans Creating Equal Status (FACES) of South Dakota, Inc., will travel from one end of the state to the other in an unprecedented -- and local activists say historic -- organizing, education and visibility tour. The tour will make scheduled stops in Rapid City, Sioux Falls, Vermillion (University of S.D.) and Brookings (S.D. State). The NCOW tour is sponsored FACES of S.D., Inc., in conjunction with the Sioux Empire Gay and Lesbian Coalition of Sioux Falls, plus campus groups, including Together Augustana, the Sons and Daughters of SDSU, and Gay, Lesbian &Bisexual Association of the University of S.D. More than a dozen events are scheduled, including: Rapid City -- a "coming out" story circle, press conference, people of faith ceremony at the local Unitarian Universalist Church, community meeting on gay and lesbian civil rights, coming out pot luck, and a NCOW photo opportunity at Mt. Rushmore; Vermillion -- Information table at the University of S.D., NCOW picnic and bonfire, candlelight vigil, community dinner, dance; Brookings -- Dorm meetings at SDSU, luncheon with campus officials and community leaders, classroom teach-ins on gay and lesbian sexuality and political issues, a panel discussion on gay rights, information table at the Student Organization Fair and a NCOW reception; Sioux Falls -- Convocation, NCOW "blue jeans" day, classroom teach-ins and information table at Augustana College (a religious school), a people of faith education session on gay rights, a NCOW reception/party at Touche'z -- the state's only gay bar -- a press conference, a movement-building and leadership development activist training session, NCOW brunch, a ceremony at the local MCC, and the first-ever strategy session to plan for ongoing activism in the state. "South Dakota chose Pat Robertson over George Bush in 1988...If there ever was a state where gays and lesbians needed to organize it would be this state," said Barry Wick of FACES South Dakota, Inc.. "Many people who live here are extremely isolated, fearful and closeted. This is the first visibility and organizing tour in South Dakota that will attempt to reach out to individuals and organizations, create safe spaces to come out in, educate the press and larger society, and strategize for the future of our community." Bray and Wick will speak at each stop, conduct training sessions, and help organize local activists. The tour is the result of activism around a battle for same-gender marriages that erupted in South Dakota earlier this year. Local activists, working with NGLTF and Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, defeated an attempt to proactively ban civil marriage for same-gender couples, including those that may be granted in other states, such as Hawaii. For more information contact Barry Wick, FACES of South Dakota, Inc., (605)343-5577, firstname.lastname@example.com; or Robert Bray, NGLTF, (415)552-6448, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Note to reporters and editors: Robert Bray of NGLTF will file a daily email "Dispatch From South Dakota" diary for members of the press. To receive a copy, make certain your email address is with NGLTF's Beth Barrett, who will upload the dispatches. Barrett can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com, (202)332-6483 ext. 3215. Traveling with Bray and Wick on the tour will be nationally known gay and mainstream media photographer Rick Gerharter, (415)824-5300, who will have photographs of the tour available.
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

Synoverge Lotus Notes to Sharepoint Migration Framework
Any legacy modernization effort has to go through commonly identified phases before the actual migration effort begins – Understanding the current application landscape, considering solution options and the constraints the solution must meet, deciding on the best-fit solution, and choosing the right strategy for such a migration. The actual modernization process requires planning and preparation, followed by solution implementation, leading to a completed migration project.
The adoption of SharePoint as a collaboration platform, and as a central repository for all things document, has made it necessary to move Lotus Notes applications to the SharePoint platform. We describe below the elements of such migration, within the general migration framework described above.
The Assessment Phase focuses on its goals of understanding the existing SharePoint Infrastructure, Lotus Notes Application Portfolio and user base. The key activities that should be performed are - ranking the notes Applications in the order of their complexity, and recognizing those applications for which SharePoint may not be the right solution.
Applications will be classified in three groups – Easy Fit, Custom Fit, and No fit. Have a look at the diagram below to understand the differences.
The diagrams below depict the different phases in the Lotus Notes to SharePoint Migration project, and activities in each of them.
Synoverge Transformation Framework provides a large number of tools that speed up decision making, partial or full automation of parts of process activities, ready templates for data collation, reference and evaluation, checklists for testing and ready training plans.

A funding bill for Iowa education passed the Democratic-controlled Iowa Senate on Wednesday.
The bill increases funding by 4 percent, or $135 million.
"If you want world-class schools for all of the kids in Iowa, you gotta pay for it," said Sen. Robert Hogg, (D) Cedar Rapids. "We gotta stop doing this education on the cheap."
Senate legislators also approved a plan to provide additional money from a budget surplus fund to prevent local property tax increases for schools and to reduce the property tax rate in some districts.
Governor Terry Branstad opposes setting school funding until lawmakers approve his education reform plan.

"Why Japan Should Legalize Surrogacy" Trisha Wolf, J.D. Candidate 2014, University of Washington School of Law; Exec. Articles Editor, Pacific Rim Law & Policy Journal"Fishers of Men: The Neglected Effects of Environmental Depletion on Labor Trafficking in the Thai Fishing Industry" Joanna Sylwester, J.D. Candidate 2014, University of Washington School of Law; Chief Comments Editor, Pacific Rim Law & Policy JournalHosted by the Pacific Rim Law & Policy Journal and the Asian Law CenterBeyond a recommendation from the Japanese Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology to not work with patients who want to engage in surrogacy contracts, no legal framework exists for regulating surrogacy in Japan and only one doctor in the entire country will work with families using surrogates. Therefore, Japanese families often travel abroad to use surrogates, which creates a number of problems. Babies born to surrogates have been considered stateless because neither the surrogate's country nor Japan recognizes them as citizens. Furthermore, Japan's complex family registry system makes it difficult to adopt children. Finally, surrogates abroad are often very poor women forced to live in abject conditions during their pregnancies. The Japanese government should establish a legal framework to regulate surrogacy, drawing on Israel's system and the ABA Model Rules.Trisha Wolf is a third year law student at the University of Washington. In addition to her work as an Executive Articles Editor for the Pacific Rim Law & Policy Journal, she is currently a member of UW's Immigration Law Clinic. During law school, Trisha has worked at the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights and the UW Division of the Attorney General's Office. She also received at FLAS in Hindi during the 2012-13 school year. Prior to law school, Trisha worked in health care and international development. She graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis.Migrant fishermen are left out. Both Thailand's labor trafficking laws and anti-trafficking measures espoused by international bodies fail to effectively protect men coerced into working in Thailand's fishing industry. Thailand is a prominent destination for human trafficking victims because of the country's economic, social, and political conditions. The majority of trafficking victims identified within Thailand are migrants from Thailand's neighbors—predominantly Myanmar (Burma)—and often escape from conditions of poverty or political persecution. Because of a high demand for Thai fish products and labor shortages in the fishing industry; the commercial fishing industry is a hotbed for labor trafficking. The Government of Thailand, as a response to international pressure, has increased regulatory efforts to address the experiences male labor trafficking victims face. However, these efforts neglect an essential component: how changing environmental conditions and the effects of over-fishing on the nature of the fishing industry both perpetuate trafficking and thwart well-meaning reforms. Environmental mainstreaming, or the process of infusing environmental policies into traditionally non-environmental programs, would buoy current regulatory efforts and may even contribute to the development of stronger, more realistic labor trafficking laws.

Ford unveils Atlas pickup concept at 2013 Detroit Auto Show
Brawny truck is a blueprint for the next F-150.
The Ford F-Series is the most successful vehicle on the market. It has been America's best-selling pickup for 36 years and the best-selling vehicle in America for 31 years. Ford has done a good job of updating the truck on a regular basis, redesigning the F-150 in 2009 and revamping the entire engine lineup for 2011. At the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Ford showed that it's not easing off the throttle, unveiling the Atlas concept, a full-size pickup that is undoubtedly a blueprint for the next F-150.
- Cadillac ATS and Ram 1500 win car, truck of year
- Corvette Stingray storms Detroit show
- Mercedes-Benz CLA, E-Class models debut
Ford Atlas concept
What is it? A concept vehicle that previews the next F-150 pickup.
What's hot? The look is blocky and brawny on the outside and functionally luxurious on the inside. It is built on a Super Crew body style with a bold, chunky grille, quad headlights, pronounced fender flares and knobby tires. Inside, the seats are thin, lightweight and upholstered in black leather.
The pickup bed boasts a lot of functionality. Multiple tie-downs are built in, as are 110-volt outlets to charge power tools or power boomboxes. It also has LED lighting, hidden bed ramps and a new version of the bed step that doubles as a cargo cradle for a roof storage system. Other functional features include a 360-degree camera, Trailer Backup Assist and Dynamic Hitch Assist, which help align the truck to connect trailers.
Under the hood, Ford says the Atlas features the next generation of EcoBoost engine technology, but is giving no statistics. The current EcoBoost is a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 that makes 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. The next engine will likely focus more on saving fuel than improving those very capable ratings. Ford says the Atlas features an auto stop-start function, active shutters in the grille and each aluminum wheel, a drop-down front spoiler and power running boards that retract while the truck is moving to improve aerodynamics. Ford says these technologies will save 2 mpg on the highway and give the truck class-leading fuel economy.
Ford didn't mention it in the press conference, but the next F-150 and likely the Atlas are rumored to make use of lightweight aluminum in the body and chassis to save weight. That should also improve fuel economy.
What's not? The interior, while beautiful, is likely not what we'll get in the production vehicle. We'd like to know more about what's to come.
How much and when? Never. This is a concept.
MSN Autos' verdict: Ford is the pickup-sales leader for a reason: It makes great trucks. The Atlas concept shows that the folks from Dearborn, Mich., plan to keep applying the pressure. The EcoBoost V6 is already a hit, and if the next one is better, that will make it even tougher for the competition. We also look forward to a future pickup integrating some of the Atlas' unique bed features.

Not scientifically valid. Results are updated every minute.
Why are we not allowed to vote for 1) Quality of Workmanship 2) Safety in accidents 3) Long lasting
These are important issues when spending big bucks on anything so why arent we allowed to vote on these things?
Because MSN engages in spin doctoring otherwise known as opinion forming. Just as in most of the decisions of our lives
the real answers to the biggest qustions arent something we get to vote for. They want disposable cars that get high mileage. Why?
Because engineered obsolescence requires us to shell out more money over a given period of time. The word durable goods is hardly used anymore for the same reason.
Its a scam.

Tablets Come of Age
David is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Last week, the big news of the tech world was Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) launch of Windows 8, the latest version of its flagship operating system. While Windows 7 was essentially an incremental upgrade after the disastrous Vista, Windows 8 signals a radical shift from the company that's claimed the mantel from IBM for conservative, business computing.
Microsoft's website for Windows 8 touts a line of new tablet-based computers, including its own Surface. It's a radical departure from the company's previous marketing, geared toward desktops and laptops.
Microsoft's entry to the tablet market isn't actually new, however. The company has been touting tablets since the early '90s, but they never managed to get more than a niche following, mainly in the medical field. Tablets just seemed like a solution in search of a problem.
That is, until Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) released the iPad. It quickly dominated the market, changing tablets overnight from a geeky curiosity to a must-have toy. Apple figured that most people consume more content on their devices than they produce, and most computers sold to consumers were just too complicated for them to use.
As of this writing, Apple's stock was trading at over $600 per share with a market cap of $567.28 billion. This is higher than Microsoft's market cap of $237.43 billion. Microsoft posted a healthy profit $16.98 billion, though it pales in comparison to Apple's performance.
With the iPad and the other tablets that followed, people could surf the Web, check their Facebook messages, watch movies, play games and even catch up on some emails without having to become IT people in their own homes.
Apple's success has obviously spooked Microsoft, since its longtime rival did what Microsoft had tried and failed for years to do: make tablets mainstream. Even though Apple "missed earnings expectations," as many financial sites pointed out, the company posted a profit of $25.9 billion, and most companies would kill for the profit of $8.8 billion it posted last quarter. Apple couldn't possibly keep up its meteoric growth forever, and what investors are seeing is likely a regression to the mean. Apple's just settling into a stable growth rate.
Mike Gancarz, author of Unix and the Linux Philosophy (which I highly recommend, even if you're not a programmer or computer person), might call tablets a 90 percent solution, in that it does 90 percent of people on the Internet actually want to do: namely consume content. It was the other 10 percent tech journalists and technical users who scoffed at the iPad.
They're also partially right. Anything that requires a lot of typing or number crunching is best left to conventional computers. Tablets, however, are encroaching on even these tasks. Need to bang out a long email or blog post. Just pair your tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard.
The tablet revolution has also been good to Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). Other than Apple and Microsoft, most other tablets are powered by its Android operating system. The company posted a profit of $9.37 billion last year.
Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has also edged it in the tablet space with its Kindle Fire line of tablets, which Jeff Bezos recently admitted the company sells at cost. Amazon is banking on its vast content library, and the strategy seems to have worked. The Kindle Fire is the second most popular tablet apart from the iPad, although a distant second 7 million Kindles shipped versus Apple's approximately 84 million iPads. The introduction of the iPad mini, a similarly-sized model, might entice people who would buy a Kindle instead. Amazon has brought in $862 million last year. On ther other hand, the company posted a loss of $274 million last quarter.
The real winner might be ARM Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMH). The company's chips power nearly all the major tablets sold today, including the ones Microsoft is promoting. The company posted a profit of $175 million last year, with sales of $764 million, with a market cap of $14.55 billion. ARM is able to punch above its weight by farming out the manufacturing to other companies, keeping its costs down. Its cost of goods sold was only $43 million, or roughly 5 percent of its sales.
But will Microsoft be able to dominate the tablet market the way it did the PC industry for so long? According the the magic 8-ball, the outlook is hazy. Sure, lots of businesses will probably buy these tablets simply because no one ever got fired for buying Microsoft, but the same strategy might not work for home users. Apple and Android tablets can surf the Web and run apps as well as Microsoft. On the other hand, Microsoft's Word, Excel and Powerpoint remain the gold standard for productivity software, for better or for worse. Home users might actually want to take work home once in a while, and that might mean working on Windows laptops.

English Literature can be studied in either your first or second year as an AS qualification, or over two years as a full A Level.
The course we follow comprises two modules in each year. It is a flexible course involving study of some set texts but also texts chosen by students; it covers the three genres of poetry, prose and drama and all periods of English literary history.
One module each year is assessed through an end-of-year exam and involves studying poetry and drama – post-1990 in the first year, pre-1800 in the second. The second module taken each year involves producing written coursework and allows for students to choose some of the texts studied. For example, in the first year students will produce a piece of creative writing based on a novel or book of short stories chosen from a list of over thirty, including texts as wide-ranging as science fiction and romance.

A few weeks back, Barney Frank caused a minor traffic jam near the State House. A Boston policeman lowered his window to tell Frank he wished he'd gotten the appointment to fill John Kerry's US Senate seat. A number of pedestrians were quick to second that sentiment. Spotting Frank from a distance, two women rushed across Beacon Street to thank him for his many battles in the congressional trenches.
So imagine the surprise when the Maine Sunday Telegram announced that "former congressman and new Maine resident Barney Frank will be a regular contributor to the Telegram's Insight section." Or when one of Frank's columns ran with this tag line: "Barney Frank is a former Massachusetts congressman . . . He lives with his husband in Ogunquit."

Latin Percussion has re-invented its often-imitated Softshake-style shaker and given it a new "twist." LP's new patent-pending Twist Shaker is a set of twin dumbbell-shaped shakers that are connected with a unique rotating lock mechanism that allows them to be played together in one hand or individually in each hand.
LP Twist Shakers come in three different volume levels: Soft (Yellow – LP441T-S) which is ideal for studio and acoustic performances; Medium (Blue – LP441T-M) which is versatile for use in nearly any musical situation and Loud (Red – LP441T-L) which is perfect for live performances when you really need to be heard. Because the Shakers can be "twisted" apart, musicians can experiment with different volume combinations to achieve exactly the sound they are looking for.

The switch at the top of Russia's military follows the removal of the defense minister, who was fired for alleged corruption.

MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin on Friday reshuffled the nation's top military brass following the defense minister's ouster and instructed the new top military officer to be friendlier to Russia's defense industries.
Putin's advice to Col. Gen. Valery Gerasimov, appointed the new chief of the armed forces' General Staff, appeared to shed more light on the reasons for the ouster of Russia's powerful Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov earlier this week.
While Putin linked the ouster to a probe into the alleged military corruption, most experts believe that Serdyukov was sacked because of an intensifying behind-the-scenes battle for the distribution of $635 billion that the Kremlin plans to spend on buying new weapons through 2020.
Serdyukov demanded higher quality and cheaper prices from the military industry, often refusing to sign new contracts for months. He criticized arms makers for continuing to produce Soviet-era designs instead of developing new weapons, angering the industry leaders with strong Kremlin connections.
Under Serdyukov, the military purchased amphibious assault vessels from France, bought Israeli drones, Italian armored vehicles and other foreign weapons.
"We have had a problem with the Defense Ministry changing its demands to the industries," Putin said on Friday. "Of course, we must seek cutting edge items, but we need certain stability too. I strongly hope that you will be able to develop a stable and good partnership with our leading defense plants."
Gerasimov replaces Serdyukov's loyalist Gen. Nikolai Makarov. The 57-year old Gerasimov is a career military officer who graduated from a Soviet tank academy and previously served as the commander of the Central Military District, a job that made him responsible for Red Square military parades.
As part of Friday's shakeup, Putin also sacked a deputy defense minister and promoted two other generals.
Serdyukov was succeeded by Sergei Shoigu, who spent only half a year as the governor of the Moscow region after serving as Russia's emergency situations minister for two decades.
Serdyukov ouster came as a surprise because he had previously enjoyed Putin's support for Russia's most radical defense reforms in decades. The effort led to the dismissal of 200,000 officers and disbanding 90 percent of Russia's military units in a bid to turn Russia's Soviet-style military into a leaner and a more mobile force similar to Western armies.
When Putin fired Serdyukov on Tuesday, he linked the move to a probe launched last month by the country's top investigative agency into the sale of military assets, including real estate. The agency says the state suffered damages of $95 million in just a few cases reviewed.
Adding to the intrigue is the fact that Serdyukov is married to the daughter of one of Putin's closest allies, Viktor Zubkov, who served as prime minister in 2007-8 and continues to wield a strong clout as chairman of the state-run natural gas giant, Gazprom.
