2012-13 College Football Bowl Schedule
Undefeated #1 Notre Dame will meet defending national and SEC Champion #2 Alabama in the BCS title game on Monday, January 7th.

It will be the 7th consecutive BCS title game for the SEC Champion with the past six clubs winning the national championship. This will be the first national title game for Notre Dame since the late 1980's. In only head coach, Brian Kelly's third season, the Irish earned the title clash off an undefeated season behind a very tough defense and an efficient balanced offense.

Irish's Manti Te'O Heads Maxwell and Bednarik Lists
Photo - LB Manti Te'O - Notre Dame
Maxwell Football Club President, Ron Jaworski, announced the 2012 Semifinalists for the 76th Maxwell Award for the Collegiate Player of the Year and the 18th Chuck Bednarik Award presented for the Outstanding Defensive Player of the Year. The respective lists include a field of 16 candidates for the Maxwell and Bednarik Awards as selected by the Maxwell Football Club National Selection Committee.
Notre Dame's LB Manti Te'o is coming off a terrific performance in the Irish huge win over Oklahoma. They effort between two top ten clubs earned Te'O the Defensive Player of the Week by Draft Insiders'. He heads the list for both the Maxwell and Bednarik semi-finalist lists and entered the Heisman Trophy race with another outstanding all around defensive performance.
Kansas State QB Collin Klein, USC receiver Marqise Lee and running back Kenjon Barner of Oregon head a strong field of offensive semifinalists for the Maxwell Award. Lee's Trojan teammate Matt Barkley is the only player who repeats as a semifinalist from 2011.
On the defensive side of the ball, Notre Dame's Manti Te'o and Georgia's Jarvis Jones head the nominees for the Bednarik Award and are both also semifinalists for the Maxwell Award. Alabama defensive back Dee Milliner and linebacker C.J. Mosley are two of eight Bednarik nominees from the Southeastern Conference. Arthur Brown of Kansas State and Notre Dame's Manti Te'o are repeat semifinalists from 2011.
Last season, the Maxwell Award went to Andrew Luck from Stanford University while the Bednarik went to Tyrann Mathieu of LSU. Luck is now the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts.
The winners of the 76th Maxwell Award and the 18th Chuck Bednarik Award will be announced as part of the Home Depot College Football Awards Show which will be broadcast on ESPN on December 6, 2012. Three finalists for each award will be announced on November 19, 2012 and a second round of voting will take place at that time. The formal presentation of these awards will be made at the Maxwell Football Club's Awards Gala which will be held on Friday, March 1, 2013 at the Harrah's Entertainment Complex in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Semifinalist voting for both of the collegiate awards presented by the Maxwell Football Club will begin on Tuesday, October 30th and close on Sunday November 18th.

LSU-Alabama Rematch Guarantees Another National Title for SEC Team
Photo - CB Tyrann Mathieu - LSU
The much anticipated rematch of #1 LSU and #2 Alabama is finally here after a long bowl season. The BCS national title game has built to a fever pitch over the past month with two teams that guarantees the 6th consecutive SEC national title winner. This classic title game has all the makings of another tough slugfest that features two standout defenses. The regular season's Game of the Century was a classic old time battle where both clubs displayed a strong physical presence and dominant defenses that attack the line of scrimmage. LSU prevailed 9-6 in overtime as Alabama as the Tide missed four FGs. No team scored a TD in the SEC clash in Tuscaloosa. That's quite a contrast to the wild weekly shootouts in college football recently.
Each title game club likes to run the ball and play field position while relying on efficient QB play. The defensive play of both teams is worth the price of admission. Each club is battle tested after surviving the tough SEC West Division that features both LSU and Alabama, in addition to Arkansas. They could all finish in the top five nationally after tonight. The winner tonight has the claim to undisputed #1 national ranking. Winning the SEC has translated into 5 consecutive national titles. Tonight's matchup guarantees another SEC national title winner.
One of the keys to this game will Bama star tailback Trent Richardson who had an impressive performance in the first matchup. Richardson ran for 169 yards in the November loss. He has been the catalyst for many Tide victories over recent years that warranted high Heisman Trophy award consideration. He rushed for 20 TDs with almost 1000 rushing over the second half of the 2011 season. Another big effort tonight could spell the difference in the title contest. The LSU front seven will be fully tested by Richardson and may be the critical deciding factor in the outcome.
Both LSU and Alabama have incredible secondaries that already rank with NFL defenses. This game features potentially five #1 defensive back picks from both clubs over just the next two draft classes. Tiger corners sophomore Tyrann Mathieu and junior Morris Claiborne have been huge impact defenders over the 2011 season. He has been a difference maker in virtually every game especially key matchups. Both teams have had weeks to prepare that has contributed to the hype of this classic late season matchup.
Prediction - LSU 16 - Alabama 13
Game Within the Game Matchup
LSU Receiver Rueben Randle vs Alabama Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick
Great matchup of two future high #1 NFL Draft picks, maybe this April. This game features countless high draft selections especially on the defensive side of the ball. There could be as many as 8 defensive backs in this game that starting eventually in the NFL.
Wideout Rueben Randle is a former five-star recruit entering LSU who struggled over his first two seasons. He had a major breakout season despite QB changes for the Tigers in a rotation of starters. He has benefitted from more consistent play at QB that has allowed him to start to realize his enormous athletic potential.
Randle has put up new career receptions total and ranked among the SEC leaders in receiving TDs despite double coverage. He has a big lean 6'4'', 205 lb frame with a great skill set for the position. He has the vertical speed to get deep consistently and the agility, hands and run after the catch ability to take the underneath passes and make a big play.
Bama cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick has rare physical skills for the position. He has great size at 6'3" and plays a physical brand of fotoball that HC Nick Saban plays and demands. He has an NFL safety body with cornerback athleticism and skills. His combination of size, hands and speed ranks him the top cornerback currently with the development to be one of the blue chip prospects for the NFL Draft 2012. Defenders Mark Barron and Robert Lester may be the best two safetie in the nation. Linebackers Don't'a Hightower and Courtney Upshaw are NFL ready after being battle tested in the Nick Saban scheme and tough SEC.

Total War: Rome 2 preview: high above the battlefield
As my tiny force of Roman soldiers marched on the Samnite forces laying siege to the city of Capua, I zoomed in to look at my individual soldiers, wondering what I would see. Fear? Excitement? Fatigue?
I wanted to see if Total War: Rome 2 could make good on its promise that the fortunes of battle would be etched on the faces of combatants on both sides. I had been told that there would be speeches, and that soldiers would mourn their fallen comrades. I didn't see any of that though; my little band of warriors looked stoic as ever as they hurried to meet the Samnites. I'm not sure it would have mattered either, because Total War: Rome 2 has much more going for it than it's supposedly Saving Private Ryan-like depiction of soldiers on the battlefield.
In my time with Rome 2, the one attribute that stood out the most to me was pure scale. Put simply, the battlefields around Capua are huge, made all the more evident as huge armies shrink when the camera pulls back. The increased scope is there to accommodate the even greater importance of naval vessels, which can now bolster armies on the land. The side effect is that battles are now truly massive, hardware-taxing affairs, and on the right computer, they are impressive to behold.
In a similar vein, Rome 2's world map is also much bigger this time around, encompassing everything from the northern tip of Scotland to the Horn of Africa. To put things into perspective, it's roughly four times the size of the map in Shogun 2. Aware that Rome: Total War was one of the most popular entries in the series, Creative Assembly is going all-out with Rome 2.
I was most aware of Rome 2's scope during the preview build's first scenario: the aforementioned battle at Capua. As the Samnites laid siege to the gates, I snuck around the side with my little company of Romans, attempting to hit at their flank. To get into position more quickly, I had my army double-time it--a new feature in Rome 2 that allows soldiers to get into position more quickly at the expense of increased fatigue. When it came time to attack, it looked as if my army was a company of ants. Almost immediately, they were surrounded by the numerically superior Samnite units, and a pitch battle ensued, all while the siege continued in the background. Eventually, the Samnites began to disperse and flee, and I was able to turn my sights on the siege on the nearby hill. When it came time to attack the main body of the Samnite army, my Romans joined up with Capua defenders on the bridge, and an impressive battle ensued. Well, in the grand scale of Rome 2, it wasn't much more than a skirmish over one city, but it certainly did the trick.
Later, I had to rebuild my army and position them at a mountain pass, and I was reminded of just what an oddity Total War really is among grand strategy game, combining top-level empire management on a traditional turn-based map with a real-time battlefield where the bulk of the action occurs. It's an interesting mix, even if the transition can be a bit jarring at times. Its main benefit is that it can feature the epic sort of battles that made Sins of a Solar Empire so special without sacrificing the depth of a traditional 4X game.
This is apparent once again in Rome 2, where tension built as a Samnite army crossed the map to attack Rome while I frantically tried to build up enough of an army to head them off at the pass. When the Samnites arrived, they sent javelins ahead to pick off my shield bearers, but I was able to sneak a group of cavalry through a nearby forest and pick them off with a well-timed charge. It was all very tense and satisfying; the scale was hampered somewhat by the fact that it all took place in a relatively narrow mountain pass, but the spectacle of two large armies clashing and fighting still managed to be interesting to watch in the relatively confined space.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any of the other new features that Rome 2 gets to bring to the table, like the apparently much-improved diplomacy, which will no longer be prone to suicidal declarations of war. The main point was to give me a taste of Rome 2's battles, and I have to say, I like what I see. Shogun 2 and Empire: Total War were solid games in their own right, but the much-expanded Rome 2 has me interested in the series again for the first time in a while. Rome 2 has a keen understanding of its roots: encapsulating the scope of its conflicts. Bigger doesn't necessarily make something better, but in this case, Total War lives up to its name.

Organizing for Action, the non-profit group backing President Obama's agenda, announced Friday that they had raised over $26.3 million in 2013.
"As we approach the one year mark of our founding, OFA is extremely proud that our grassroots-funded operation has an average contribution of $37," said spokesperson Katie Hogan in a statement announcing the fundraising numbers.
"We have raised $26.3 million from more than 421,000 individuals who are supporting our organizers and volunteers working to tip the scales back towards the American people and away from special interests in Washington," she added.
The group raised $5.69 million of its 2013 haul in the fourth quarter of the year, receiving contributions from 115,730 donors. Those numbers marked a slide from its third quarter tally of $7.7 million.
OFA, formed from the remnants of Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, has used its deep pockets to help promote his second term agenda, from registering consumers in Obamacare's new insurance exchanges to pushing for immigration reform and tougher gun control
But despite their efforts, those initiatives stalled in 2013 with senators rejecting a bill to toughen background checks on gun purchasers and the House GOP failing to take up a bipartisan Senate immigration reform bill.
The group has tried to rescue the president's health care reform law after the botched rollout of the insurance exchanges with campaigns to bolster registration and tout success stories. This month OFA is launching digital ads showing consumers who signed up for Obamacare.

Bound To Please: Selections from the Cecil G. Behrmann Collection of Bookbinding
"You cannot judge a book by its cover."
We hear this adage from earliest childhood, and without a doubt it is valuable advice for everyday life. And yet, throughout the history of book making, the pleasure of a fine binding has contributed to the aesthetic appreciation involved in both reading and scholarship. In the past century British artisans have led the way in elevating the craft of individually designed and hand tailored book bindings to the noblest aspirations of art. The designer book binding is to the standard mass market hardcover what a fine gourmet repast is to themost rudimentary bowl of oatmeal.
As the noted authority John Harthen, former Keeper of the Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, has written, "The concept of 'original' binding, in the sense of an original design made for a book, is largely a twentieth-century invention which has opened up new dimensions for the art of the book. In earlier periods binding design had little relation to the text within the book but reflected, usually somewhat tardily, the common ornamental styles of the period. Today the artist-binder regards the book on which he is working with considerably more respect than his predecessors. He studies the text of his author, the style and colour of the illustrations, even peculiarities of typography and layout and only then, by choice, produces a design for the covers which willbe a personal synthesis reflecting the different elements of the whole book."
The fourteen exquisite volumes displayed in the adjacent Tyler Gallery are from the Cecil Gordon Behrmann Collection of Modern Bookbindings. The assembled books are superb examples of the binder's art, from the relatively austere examples of Arthur Budd to the more flamboyant designs of Chris Hicks. The Corcoran Gallery of Art extends its sincere thanks to Peter Behrmann and Carol Wijnberg for the loan of these splendid books. The exhibition is made possible through the generosity of Joshua Heller Rare Books, Inc., of Washington, DC. We also wish to express appreciation to Frank Mowery of the Folger Shakespeare Library for his assistance with the installation, and to Neil Greentree forthe photography.

This is My Summer Jam: Zoku Slush and Shake Maker
Product Review
Item: Zoku Slush and Shake Maker
Price: $19.95
Overall Impression: Really easy to use. Kind of magical.
I wasn't sure about this thing. It seemed too good to be true. No way could a little insulated cup transform liquid into a milkshake or slushie in less than ten minutes, no electricity required. But I dared to dream. With a beach trip planned, the kids and I envisioned slushies galore. I didn't think I would have to fight them for the Zoku to make an "adult slushie," because I didn't think it would work. Boy, was I wrong.
The Review
Characteristics and Specs: Comes in a range of bright colors. Includes three pieces: the inner core to store in the freezer, an outer shell to keep your hands from getting cold and a special slushie spoon. The components must be washed by hand. Will work best if frozen for at least eight hours before use, but can be used twice in a row before refreezing. If it's still cold, the inner core can be ready sooner.
Favorite details: I love how easy it is, even easier than the directions indicate.
Potential problems: You may need more than one if you have more than one child or want to make a round of frozen margaritas. Small children may find it difficult to use, because they will need to keep scraping while the beverage freezes.
Good for small kitchens? Sure!
After freezing the inner core overnight, we started with something basic, orange flavored seltzer mixed with orange juice. I braced myself for disappointment. Lo and behold, ice crystals started to form on the sides of the cup almost immediately. After a few minutes of scraping and stirring, we had a slushie that my kids declared tasted just like Orangina. Magic! We continued to scrape and stir until we got a chunky consistency and it was perfect.
I couldn't wait to make an adult version. That afternoon, I had my chance. Though the directions indicate alcohol should be added at the end, after the liquid has had a chance to freeze, I couldn't wait. I added vodka, prosecco, club soda, a splash of pure cranberry juice and a dash of lemon and lime juice. It took a few more minutes, but my drink froze like I had dumped the ingredients into one of those frozen margarita machines. I drank/ate it on the beach immediately, loving the fact that the thermal cup kept the treat frozen, even in 90 degree weather. A marvel!
Other blends we tried:
- Coffee and milk. A delightful variation of my usual morning cup of black coffee.
- Mashed banana and skim milk. Pretty good, but pureed banana might have been better.
- Coffee, milk, vanilla extract and Cool Whip. (One of my sons wanted to recreate something that tasted like a Starbucks Frappuccino. Oddly, those were ingredients we had in the house at the moment.) We decided not to let this one freeze to a chunky consistency and poured it into juice cups when the blend reached a slushy, still liquid state. Delicious!
- Cranberry juice, club soda and crushed blackberries. Refreshing.
- Fresh strawberries and peach flavored seltzer. This time, I pureed the berries in a mini food processor. Extra effort, but the even consistency was perfect, like it had been made in a blender.
Unless you want to consume your smoothie or milkshake quickly, you may want to pour it into a cup when it's just right, because the liquid will continue to freeze onto the walls of the cup. Also, you can rinse the inner core, dry it and put it back in the freezer so it'll be ready for your next round.
When I forgot to put the cup back in the freezer right away, I learned I could speed the process by pouring liquid into the cup and freezing them together for a while. Just make sure no one will come along and tip it over in the freezer!
I love the portability of Zoku's Slush and Shake Maker. Pop it in your suitcase or pool bag and use it anywhere you have access to a freezer. I also love that it helps prevent mindless consumption. Though it's quick, it still takes longer than just pouring a sweet (or alcoholic) beverage. If you're trying to cut down on sweet drinks — for yourself or your kids — the icy consistency makes it easy. Juices cut with club soda tasted just as good.
This is hardly a necessary gadget, but it's fun, not too pricey and works exactly as promised. I'm back at the beach and looking forward to more experimenting. (There is definitely a Bellini slush in my future.) No disappointment here!

I keep seeing this and trying to resist it. After this review I might need to just get one! You had me at bellini slush.
Thanks for the review!
These are actually pretty easy to make yourself: the key is that the frozen part holds salt water, which has a lower temperature than regular ice. The container is then up to you: two ziploc bags, two cans, etc...anything where you have a container of saltwater ice touching the container of the drink you want to freeze.
I bet you could hack a standing cup very simply using one of those baby bottles with the plastic liners, and putting that inside a commuter mug with a straw.
But it only takes a few seconds to blend ice and juice together. You don't have to wait and scrape. Am I missing the appeal here? And if you pop granita into the freezer you scrape it every few hours and have enough for the whole family....
These have been around in various guises for years. Friends had some older ones that probably dated to the 70's, if not the late 60's. The outside of the device was bright red hard plastic with a handle, and the white inner lining had the liquid that you froze, and you slide it into the red outer cup, and poured in your drink and then began scraping as the drink froze.
They were great.

KOG is a purely arcade, immediately enjoyable and terribly frantic game - you start it and, one second later, you play it. The mechanics require good eye perception and quick reflexes, and become familiar quickly. The basic idea is to catch objects moving at different speeds with a trap. However, despite the conceptual simplicity, there are plenty of intriguing and not-so-evident aspects that spice up and give depth to the gameplay.

Macomb County Prosecutor and Sheriff Anthony Wickersham move to increase charges against Ronald Dimambro, the man accused of beating two-year-old Damian Sutton.
Macomb County Medical Examiner Dr. Daniel Spitz has completed the of the little boy.
Dr. Spitz has determined that the cause of death is blunt force trauma and the manner of death is homicide. As a result of these findings, Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith says he is increasing the charges against Ronald Dimambro to First Degree Felony Murder.
"Violence against Macomb County children will not be tolerated. The full weight and resources of this Office will be used to seek justice for Damian Sutton" said Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith.
Defending Damian's mother, he adds, "[Nikki] said she has never seen any signs of violence [in Dimambro]... She had no idea that this was ever a possibility... This is the last thing she ever thought would happen. People need to realize that this woman did everything she could to provide the best possible life for her child. From everything we have seen, the blame lies in one person: The defendant."
The defendant will be arraigned on the charge of First Degree Felony Murder on September 10, 2013 at 9:00 a.m. before 42-1 District Court Judge Denis LeDuc.
Meanwhile, Damian's family is still collecting funds to cover medical, and now funeral expenses.
Damian's great-aunt Cora Leibowitz says donations to help cover medical expenses and funeral costs can made online at www.gofundme.com/prayersfordamian or at any Fifth Third Bank branch nationwide.
A funeral and memorial service for Damian will be Saturday, August 30th, at 3PM at Athena Hall in Roseville.

MADISON, WI (WSAU) The Wisconsin men's hockey team held on to a slim 2-1 edge entering the third period last night, but couldn't hold the lead. St. Cloud State scored three times while whipping the Badgers 4-2 in the next-to-the-last game of the regular season.
The loss mathematically eliminated Wisconsin from a chance at the WCHA championship. The Badgers can earn home ice for the first round of the conference playoffs if they get at least a tie tonight.
Joseph LaBate and Tyler Barnes scored Wisconsin's two goals. The two teams wrap up the weekend series tonight starting at 7 p.m. The Wisconsin women's hockey team made a run at North Dakota, but fell just short in a 2-1 loss in the WCHA Final Face-Off in Minneapolis last night.
Freshman Erika Sowchuk scored Wisconsin's only goal at 3:43 of the third period. That cut a 2-0 North Dakota lead in half, but the Badgers never scored the equalizer. North Dakota outshot Wisconsin 34-27.
The Badgers will find out what their participation might be in the NCAA tournament during the selection show starting at 5 p.m. tomorrow.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – First baseman Alicja Wolny had four hits and catcher Maggie Ruckenbrod hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the seventh as the No. 11/11 University of Louisville softball team beat visiting No. 24 North Carolina 4-2 in the first game as part of the Louisville Classic Friday afternoon at Ulmer Stadium. In the second game of the day, pitcher Caralisa Connell tossed a two-hitter to help the Cards beat Eastern Michigan 6-1. The Cardinals improve to 22-3 on the season.
"We were really happy to come away with two wins today," said U of L head coach Sandy Pearsall. "I thought Rachel LeCoq came in and pitched well against North Carolina and Caralisa had good results in the Eastern Michigan. Maggie Ruckenbrod came through for us today with a big hit against North Carolina and Alicja Wolny also had a great day at the plate."
Louisville 4 – North Carolina 2
In the first game, U of L had four runs on seven hits with four walks with pitcher Rachel LeCoq earning the win to push her record to 9-1 after relieving starter Caralisa Connell with one out in the first. UNC starter, Lori Spingola (11-6) took the loss, giving up seven hits and four earned runs. Wolny went 4 for 4 with an RBI. The homer was Ruckenbrod's only hit. The Heels were led by third baseman Constance Orr's two for three performance at the plate.
The Tar Heels (18-9) struck in the first when Erin Satterfield walked, advanced to second on a wild pitch by Connell and then scored on a single by Haleigh Dickey. The Cardinals answered in their half of the first when Katie Keller led off with a walk, advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Jordan Trimble and then scored on an error by UNC shortstop Kristen Brown.
Louisville broke the tie in the bottom of the third when Keller was hit by a pitch and advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Trimble and then scored on a single by Alicja Wolny to make the score 2-1.
The Tar Heels went down in order in the fourth and fifth before tying the game in the sixth. Third basemen Constance Orr tripled and then came home on an error to knot the game at 2-2.
Wolny led off the seventh with her fourth hit of the game, singling to left center to set up catcher Maggie Ruckenbrod fourth homer of the season for the 4-2 final.
Louisville 6 – Eastern Michigan 1
In the second game, Jordan Trimble went 3-for-4 with a homer, two runs and two RBI to lead the Cards offensively. Shortstop Whitney Arion was 2 for 2 with a pair of runs. U of L had 10 hits and just one strikeout in the win. Eastern Michigan starter Jenna Ignowski (4-2) took the loss to move to 4-2. Connell held the Eagles (8-10) to two hits, struck out 10 and walked just one EMU batter.
The Cards scored in the first on a solo home run by Jordan Trimble. U of L struck again in the fourth when Arion reached on a single and advanced to second on a ground out by Taner Fowler before scoring on an RBI single by Smithson-Willett.
U of L added a run in the fifth when Jordan Trimble doubled to lead off and then scored on a double by Maggie Ruckenbrod. The Cards added a three-spot in the sixth with Keller, Arion and Smithson-Willett all scoring in a three hit inning.
Connell (14-2) had a no-hitter going into the top of the final inning but Courtney Nicholson blooped a leadoff single up the middle, then scored on a double by Amanda Herron but that was all the offense the Eagles could muster against a composed Connell.
The Cards are back in action Sunday at 10 a.m. against Wisconsin as the Louisville Classic continues.

The current market is an interesting one. Inventory is low, which leans towards a seller's market. In his bi-monthly video and newsletter series "MarketWatch", David Howell at McEnearney Associates, gives a detailed opinion on why there are so few listings on the market.
I recently put my home on the market and was delighted to find out the home went under contract the same day it was listed and for the asking price! I couldn't believe it, it sounded too good to be true.
Regardless of market conditions people have to move, and people who need to buy are in a frenzy looking to snap up the next good home to hit the market. Many properties are therefore going under contract on the day they are listed and many end up with sale prices higher than their (inflated) asking price!
Needless to say, sellers love this type of market as do their agents who have an easier job and rewarding relationships with happier (than usual) clients.
But in such a market, how do you provide your buyers with an edge?
Many sites offer property alerts. The user signs up for an account, creates a search filter for the type of property and location they prefer, and the system notifies them once a property that meets their criteria hits the market (and the MLS).
When Baird and Warner launched their site on our platform (in late 2011), we introduced Exclusive Previews to our network. Not all the listing's data is used, just a highlight of the most important features including the best images. The agent then chooses the time frame this listing will be kept "private" (i.e. how long before it will be posted to the MLS) and BAM, this agent just created a significant edge to all his/her potential buyers.These are similar to alerts, but have a distinct advantage. An agent enters their provisional listing into our admin panel first as opposed to the MLS.
An email goes out immediately to all buyers in the system that have matching saved searches, giving them that extra few days to see the property before the rest of the market does. That kind of competitive edge is hard to find. Your buyers will not be the typical frustrated buyers in this market who keep on seeing the home of their dreams being sold to someone else. Instead, they will be the ones ones walking away victorious as a result of your services and will become loyal customers, likely recommend your services to their circles.
Don't keep your buyers waiting in line. Empower them with Exclusive Previews.

Injuries hamper Bok preparations
The Springboks were unable to train with a full squad on Wednesday but are hoping to have a fit starting XV for Saturday's Test against England at Twickenham.
A long season has taken its toll on many teams and Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer has admitted "very few players are 100 percent" heading into South Africa's final Test of the year.
SA Players' Player of the Year JP Pietersen has been an injury doubt all week and will face a late fitness test along with loosehead prop Gurthro Steenkamp on Friday. Both were named in an unchanged team but neither are guaranteed to start.
"I am very confident that JP will be fit to play against England but at this stage he is still not running fully," said Meyer.
"I will give JP until Friday to prove his fitness. Hopefully by then there will be an improvement. I would hesitate to describe Gurthro as 100 percent. We are at a stage of the season where there are lots of little niggles and very few players are 100 percent. Hopefully Gurthro will be ready, I am sure he will be.
"There isn't really a risk (in naming a half-fit prop) as the laws dictate that we choose a whole extra front-row on the bench so we will be well covered there. We have Heinke van der Merwe as back-up and he played really well for us at a crucial stage after coming onto the field against Ireland in Dublin.
"It is good to stick with the same team if you can and we do want some continuity. The performances so far may not have been complete, but we did win, so I am happy to stick with the same team.
"I think what is important in this match is that we get the minds ready even if the bodies aren't," said Meyer.
"It is amazing what the mind can do, and the players also know that I am a coach who doesn't like excuses. So they are just going to have to show mental toughness and dig deep, and I am sure they will. There won't be a full team training this afternoon (Wednesday), there will be a lot of guys sitting out, but the challenge is to be ready and switched on by Saturday."
Star lock Eben Etzebeth was found not guilty of foul play at a not guilty of foul play and Meyer said his presence was valuable to the Boks' cause.
"Eben is such a good player that I really think he may be the best number four lock in the world at the moment," said the coach.
"He has helped us to a 100 percent record in the line-outs in recent games and he also adds considerable weight to the scrums.
"He is also an important presence in the team as an enforcer, a player who helps us get the physical superiority on our opponents. Against England he has an important role to play so we are really pleased that he was cleared to play."
"In these conditions you don't get quick ball and Eben is great at the breakdown, he is a physical guy there and his cleaning technique is excellent.
"We were dangerous when we played England at Ellis Park (in June) because we got quick ball."
The former Leicester director of rugby, does not consider England as a side to with a soft underbelly.
"Looking back I always looked on England teams as great teams but I never thought they were so tough but when I coached at Leicester I was really impressed by their physicality," added Meyer.
"Lewis Moody and Martin Corry and those guys are probably the toughest guys I have coached. My whole perception has changed.
"They always bring it physically. It will be a bruising encounter.
"The last three Test matches were really physical and that was at the end of their long season. Now they are fresh and we need to toughen up and put our bodies on the line.
"I have a lot of respect for their scrummaging power. Dan Cole, I believe, is close to being the best tighthead in the world. They have really good line-outs and defensively they are a good team."

Hang tight!
Recipe by Dickie
"White fish is poached in wine and served with cucumbers cooked in whipping cream seasoned with mild mustard and tarragon."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 teaspoon
cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and chopped
1 cup
whipping cream
2 tablespoons
prepared mustard
2 teaspoons
chopped fresh tarragon
2 cups
white wine
salt to taste
bay leaf
2 (3 ounce)
fresh tilapia fillets
I did made a few adjustments to this recipe only for preference. First I used half and half, not whipping cream (trying to watch fat content a bit). I used dijon mustard instead of regular beacuse it's what I had on hand, and added 3 minced garlic cloves and dill weed to the sauce. I also threw in 2 diced roma tomatoes for the last 2 minutes of cooking. I poured the sauce on top of the fish for presentation. It was surprisingly wonderful. Cooked cucumbers can be very strange, but were completely fitting for this dish. I will be making this one again!
We tried this recipe... it sounded good, but it didn't go over well with my family. We ended up with way too much sauce, and the mix of flavors just didn't seem to blend right for us. It was okay, but not spectacular, so unless you really like ALL of the ingredients, you might want to be cautious with this one.
12 Ratings
My husband loved this fish dish, and he's not much for fish. I did make the cucumbers in sauce a bit different than listed to make it a healthier choice. I used FAT FREE (Yes, they make it) half and half instead of heavy whipping cream; then I added 1/2 cup of fresh diced tomatoes, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp dill weed, and I substituted sweet and spicy mustard instead of the plain mustard. I served the poached fish aside seasoned couscous and topped it with the cucumbers in tarragon sauce; I then topped that with some diced roasted red peppers for appeal. Thank you Dickie, for another way to use up my garden cucumbers.
The flavor was good, but it was too bland. I was excited when I saw this recipe, because I had all the ingredients on hand. The cucumbers were interesting, and I did like them, just wish the flavor would have been more intense.
I tried this just as written the first time. WOW! No question this is a five star recipe. The only problem I've had with it is getting the texture of the cucum- bers right. That's a matter of practice. But the taste is wonderful and the preparation is simple. I would advise using a dry white wine as a sweet white cooks down and can make the fish too sweet (IMHO). I've tried this as written and tried it adding dill and garlic (per Bethy). I liked it both ways. Either way, I like it better with dill tartar sauce rather than tartar sauce made with sweet relish. Thanks to Bethy for the suggestions and many ,many thanks to Dickie for the recipe. Fantastic.
Yum, yum, yum! I followed the recipe except for using Dijon mustard instead of plain mustard. I also went a little heavy on the tarragon (dried) based on another review indicating that it was a little bland. We loved the results, and hope you do, too!
This is one of the best recipes for talapia I've tasted. It doesn't overpower the fish, has a nice, light appeal and tastes phenominal. And it's really easy to make.
good, easy, different

A man who reported a gun battle at his Golden Valley home is facing felony charges after authorities discovered a marijuana growing operation.
David Brawner is being held on $8,000 bail. He's scheduled to appear Friday in justice court.
Brawner had reported several people shooting at him last week and told authorities that he returned fire.
Mohave County sheriff's deputies say they found no other shooters and arrested Brawner on a charge of misconduct with a weapon. They later returned with a search warrant and found bags of marijuana seeds, cultivated marijuana and 40 marijuana plants.
The sheriff's office estimated the street value at $170,000.
Brawner also faces charges of possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia, and producing marijuana.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — In a new ad, Republican Senate candidate Linda McMahon is edging away from her party, urging Connecticut voters to vote for her and Democratic President Barack Obama.
In the ad, several people say they will vote for Obama and McMahon, who is in a tight race with Democratic Rep. Chris Murphy for the seat held by retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman.
McMahon opposes Obama's health care legislation and has criticized him and Democrats for the weak economic recovery. Democrats are strong in Connecticut, holding the offices of governor, all five U.S. House seats and control both chambers of the General Assembly.
An Oct. 4 Quinnipiac University Poll shows Obama with a 12-percentage point lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
The speakers in the ad say they will vote for McMahon on the Independent line.

This issue is digest-sized, 24 pages plus covers, and contains part two (and the conclusion) of my story about all the jobs I've worked in my life.

Now available for $3 (postpaid to USA) or trade (what have you got?), it's 24 digest-sized pages (plus cover wrap) of non-fiction stories, photography, reviews, and other assorted oddities.
Hi Ken, the last zine I made was about working in veterinary medicine and animal care. Mostly personal narratives/collage/a few poems...I am very interested in trades.
Hi all,
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Billy and I live in Ohio, U.S. I was excited to find this group today. I hope I don't get thrown out but I am just on the edge of turning 39...Anyway, I recently returned to school to school for a BFA and I was struck with the fact that no one knew what a zine was! Partly due to place perhaps but also I think that it is partly due to technological advances. I am just happy to know that I am not the only one who is still making zines past their early/mid twenties.
made a zine about 6 months ago

Consolidation in a Bad Industry Doesn't Make Good Businesses
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Kroger (NYSE: KR) is planning to buy Harris Teeter Supermarkets (NYSE: HTSI) for $2.5 billion. While it's probably a decent deal, it doesn't change the direction of the supermarket industry. Look at the industry's health-focused maverick instead.
All Cash
Harris Teeter announced at the start of the year that it was considering selling itself. Since that point the shares have advanced around 30%. Kroger's all-cash offer is only slightly above where the stock traded hands the day before the announcement. In other words, the news didn't have much of an impact.
Although Harris Teeter had a good run on the top and bottom lines leading into the recession, performance hasn't been as consistent since that point. For example, although sales increased in 2009, margin compression led to a year over year earnings decline. The next year saw sales improvement coupled with margin expansion leading to a decent bottom line gain. Margins, however, have headed lower since and sales seesawed lower in 2011 and higher again 2012. Lower margins, though, left earnings lower in each those years.
There's a reason why the company has been looking to sell itself. Although there might be competing offers, Harris Teeter shares appear to have fully priced in an acquisition. Shareholders should sell to lock in gains.
What's the Buyer Get
Kroger is the nation's largest public supermarket. It's grown through both organic expansion and acquisition, so adding Harris Teeter is probably a logical move. Still, with about $4.5 billion in revenues, Harris is tiny compared to Kroger's nearly $97 billion in revenue. That said, there's little overlap between the two grocers, so it helps to expand Kroger's footprint.
What it doesn't do is change the trajectory of the grocery industry. For example, after dipping to around 1.5% in 2011, Kroger's margins about doubled in 2012. Still, at just under 3%, those margins are below Harris Teeter's 3.8% margins. Although Kroger's size should allow it to squeeze some costs out of the 200 or so acquired stores, the acquisition isn't going to notably alter the margins at Kroger's over 2,500 store base.
The grocery business is highly competitive right now and will remain tough for the foreseeable future. Wal-Mart and Target have both made aggressive pushes into the space and have been more than willing to compete on cost. The pair have essentially been using grocery items as loss leaders to sell their other wares. Kroger only sells groceries. In the end, Kroger is a good company doing the right things in a troubled industry.
An Alternative
Those interested in the grocery isle should avoid the traditional grocery stores and look to Whole Foods (NASDAQ: WFM) instead. Whole Foods sells groceries, but focuses on organic and "healthy" fare. This, plus the effort to create a more pleasant shopping experience, allows the company to charge more as it rides the trend toward healthier lifestyles.
While small compared to Kroger, with around $11.5 billion in sales last year, Whole Food's margins dipped as low as 3.5% during the recession. That's better than Kroger's margins today, and represent the low point for Whole Foods over the past ten years. In 2012, Whole Food's profit margin was around 6.4%.
And Whole Foods only has about 350 stores, so there's plenty of growth potential ahead. While it may never have as many stores as industry leader Kroger, Whole Foods should easily be able to to triple its count over the next decade or two. So there's plenty of growth potential ahead for a company that increased sales every year over the past decade, taking the top line from about $3 billion to over $11.5 billion.
Follow the Leader
Kroger is the largest in the grocery industry, but that doesn't actually make it the leader today. Whole Foods has taken a different approach to the business and is now the company to beat. Investors interested in the space would be better served paying up for premium priced Whole Foods and its near 40 price to earnings ratio than latching onto a lumbering giant at a discount PE of 13.
Kroger is just too big to grow like Whole Foods and at the same time take on tough competitors moving into its space. The Harris Teeter deal doesn't change that. Harris Teeter investors, meanwhile, should sell to lock in any gains they have since the shares are unlikely to go much higher from here.
The retail space is in the midst of the biggest paradigm shift since mail order took off at the turn of last century.
