Apps Boost Auto & Biz Lending
From shopping for a car to offering small businesses the capability to accept payments on the go, credit unions and CUSOs continue to try and stay a step ahead in the mobile sector to keep up with members who value around-the-clock convenience.
From all indications, smartphone usage won't slow down any time soon. In 2008, there were 7.4 million mobile banking users, according to the Forrester Research Mobile Banking Forecast, 2012-2017. That figure has soared to 61.1 million this year. By 2017, it is forecast to be 108.3 million.
And, more than two billion mobile phones will be in the hands of users by 2015, which is set to surpass PCs and tablets, according to a 2013 Gartner Research study.
Prompted by a surge in smart phone usage, auto buying service CUSO Autoland Inc. said it launched a mobile website Oct. 1 to meet the research and shopping needs of car buyers. The Chatsworth, Calif.-based CUSO said it has seen a 67% jump in mobile traffic to its website in the last year.
Autoland President Jeffry Martin said unlike a mobile application that requires users to download software to their mobile device, the CUSO's website is automatically presented through the phone's Web browser. The site was designed to deliver a pleasing user experience with key features online shoppers are looking for such as a streamlined mobile interface and full chat capability with Autoland representatives, according to the CUSO.
"After studying the behavior of members that had visited our full-site via mobile, we recognized the need to optimize this channel to improve the user experience and increase our web lead conversion rate," Martin said.
With nearly four out of five new vehicle buyers conducting online research during the shopping process and 23% of those shoppers using a smart phone to access this information, Martin said implementing a mobile strategy has been a priority for Autoland this year.
When Autoland began development of its mobile platform, the CUSO assumed that the audience with the greatest propensity for this channel would be younger car buyers. Data from Autoland showed that boomers represented 42% of the CUSO's sales while Millennials only represented 10%.
America First Credit Union introduced The Dot, a mobile credit card payment device for its business members.
"Interestingly enough, our research determined that boomers, the generation who account for the majority of Autoland sales, are just as digitally oriented toward mobile when it comes to their research and service expectations," Martin said. "We feel we've developed a mobile solution that satisfies those expectations for car buyers of all ages."
In June, CUNA Mutual Group in Madison, Wis., officially launched its AskAuto downloadable smartphone and table application after a sneak peek at CUNA's Government Affairs Conference in February. By scanning the vehicle identification number, the member learns basic vehicle information, including average retail cost of the new or used vehicle and EPA mileage estimates, according to the company.
The application saves this information along with the member's notes and ranking preferences to allow for a comparison between vehicles before deciding to purchase. Once a decision is reached, the member can also submit a credit union loan application through AskAuto.
So far, 45 credit unions have signed on to use AskAuto and 35 have implemented the app, said Steve Hoke, director of loan growth products at CUNA Mutual and product leader for AskAuto.
"We've been really happy with traction in the marketplace," Hoke said. "Part of our intention with the app was to help credit unions communicate with members. Using the app on the dealer lot can help."
Through October, members have downloaded more than 1,700 AskAuto apps at the iTunes store and at Google's Play store, Hoke said. More than 1,400 VINs have been decoded, 5,100 messages have been sent by members to credit unions from dealer lots and resulting in 75 loan applications, he added.
"Part of what we had to tell staff internally is you can't just measure through loans generated through AskAuto. We're trying to help reinforce the dealer relationship," Hoke explained. "The message to members is go into the dealer, ask for 'Mike' in the financing department but the loan is coming back to the credit union."
The $40 million Transtar Federal Credit Union in Houston is using the AskAuto app, including its free marketing kit that includes videos, articles, ads, email messages, according to James Tuggle, president/CEO. The credit union also offered a 1% discount on all loans generated through the AskAuto app or a mobile application.
In a little more than two months, the app had been downloaded 93 times and eight new loans were directly attributed to it, Tuggle said. Plus, the average loan amount was more than double that of others accepted during this period: $26,029 for the AskAuto app loans vs. $10,356 for the credit union's average auto loan.
While Transtar will continue to use AskAuto, Tuggle said face-to-face interaction is still important. As proof, the biggest boost in AskAuto app downloads occurred in conjunction with in-branch promotions. When the credit union hosted breakfasts at its main branch and at its select employer group, every member who came in that day had to walk past Transtar promoting the app, Tuggle said. The credit union set up a QR code so that members could scan the app right into their phone and the response has been positive, he noted.
Transtar has also set up its credit union branches as dealer locations to receive a custom message, Tuggle said. The app's GPS pinpoints the member's location and when they walk into a branch it pushes out the message to remind them to check out auto loans at the credit union.
"Mobile is going to be critical to our success and we're thrilled that CUNA Mutual Group offers tools that reflect this and supports our adoption, and listens to our feedback," Tuggle said. "Credit unions must find ways to be relevant in a changing environment and the AskAuto app helps us do just that."
The $5.9 million America First Credit Union in Riverdale, Utah, is one of many financial institutions that are going mobile. To allow its business members to accept payments anytime and anywhere, America First has introduced The Dot, a mobile credit card payment device that connects with an iPhone, iPad or Android device, and works in conjunction with a mobile phone app to accept credit card payments in an almost infinite amount of places.
Through October, members have downloaded CUNA Mutual Group's AskAuto app more than 1,700 times at the iTunes store and at Google's Play store.
America First's The Dot can also be used to accept payments for phone and email orders, and e-commerce, the credit union said, adding any off-site merchant can safely process customer payments and immediately email receipts to their customers upon purchase.
"We saw an opportunity to enhance our business member's ability to accept payments wherever they were doing business," said John Lund, president/CEO of America First. "A fast, convenient and inexpensive pay as you go solution that can grow as our member's business grows. It was also a way to compete against the other options in currently in the market."
America First rolled out the Android application in September and the Apple application in October, Lund said. The credit union has also seen an increase in new business accounts along with existing businesses switching to iTransact, America First's merchant services provider with existing merchant account users having greater flexibility.
The Dot is powered by iTransact, a local payment acceptance company in Farmington, Utah, Lund noted. In 2004, America First said it joined with iTransact to offer Visa, MasterCard, and Discover card processing for its business members.
Although there was some expense involved in making The Dot available to America First's business members, the cost was minimal compared to the benefits of them being able to accept payments anywhere, Lund said. The bigger returns are offering a value-added service and the ability to build loyalty, he pointed out.

Apple iPad 3 might be launched on Steve Jobs' birthday
0. phoneArena posted on 24 Dec 2011, 16:07
A report from the Economic Times says that Apple plans on honoring its fallen co-founder, Steve Jobs, by launching the new Apple iPad 3 on February 24th which is Jobs' birthday; 9 to 5 Mac notes that because of Apple's usual schedule, the device might introduced earlier and hit stores on February 24th...

That is a bit of a stretch. Maybe a 1Q2012 launch, but February 24th? Sounds like someone is needing to find ways to fill their day....
2. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
And further, what is the Economic Times' track record with iPad rumors they publish being correct?
3. SoMuchBetter (Posts: 3; Member since: 24 Dec 2011)
Wow can't wait- to my eyes the ipad is the only true tablet everything tablet made and is running on android kinda SUCKS. Maybe oneday the android community can build a competitive tablet but non as of now.
6. xiobnb (Posts: 74; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
i like android phones better than iphones..but i have to agree on this one.. apple make the best tablet ...not spec wise but the apps ...the android app for phones are awsome but not so sure for tablets
10. chadrick0814 (unregistered)
I almost understand your point but the fact is that apple does nothing to tablets. What is the difference between I pads 1 and 2....its faster and thinner. What will be the improvements for Ipad 3, Siri? I dont think you can say a "tablet" is great because of its "apps." That just makes the apps great and brings no improvements over previous versions of the tablet itself. Plus, its a given that android will eventually pass the appstore in apps anyway. At least android tablets have tried new things with tablets such as SD card expansion, HDMI, ir, USB etc... Regardless of what marginal improvements apple chooses to make, it will sell well because of customer loyalty. But if they don't offer real improvements over Ipad 2, their market share will erode just like the iphone. And they will have to revert to trying to ban other tablets to keep it. If you still can't plug anything into the ipad 3 other than the charger then it will truly be seen as a large iPod touch.
18. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@chadrick. First you say that Apple products sell because of their LOYAL customers. And then you say that their market will erode? Lol. You are contradicting yourself. Also, how can you say that the android apps store will surpass the apple apps store? It's been several years already and that has not happened. Also, majority of developers still prefer ios over android, so what you are saying does not make sense. Also, you are not getting what Apple is trying to do. Those things that you connect or plug in to your device are exactly what Apple is trying to eliminate. It is more convenient that users won't have to connect anything to their devices anymore. That is why there is the icloud and auto synching. Ios users would be able to access files wirelessly without having to plug anything in to their idevices, while you android users would still be scrambling for your usb's, etc to access files, lol. And what's wrong with a large ipod touch? Some apps and tasks work better on a larger screen. You're like saying a desktop computer is nothing more than a larger laptop :)
21. chadrick0814 (unregistered)
@gemini- First, I said the iphones market share has eroded and the IPad 3 will continue to sell well. 2 different products so Im not sure what contradiction you think you have identified. 2nd, android has already surpassed the app store in free apps and has virtually the same number of total apps as the app store. The app store does get qualityapps first. However, if ypi look at myprevious points, the trends are that marketplace will pass the app store sometime next summer. On the cloif thing. I'm sure you are well aware that android users have access to MULTIPLE cloud services. However, no one, including odd users, has access during trans-oceanic flights. Beside the fact that odd users have to stream over the cloud at 3g speeds 10x slower than 4g LTE at other times when wi-go isn't available. As a previous iphone and iphone 3gs owner, I grew tired of being forced into things. Apple is trying to force you to use their cloud just as they force you to use itunes. With android, if I want to use the cloud then I will use it. If IM flying from New York to London and there is no wi-fi, I load movies from my sd card. If Im flying from NY to LA and I don't want to pay the airline $8.99 for wi-go then I can use usb to load movies. You see Gemeni, its all about choice and freedom. I don't always want to do what apple wants. Forcing people to do things is the relationship that pimps have with their employees.

calm down supergeminifanboy.
apple's loyalty is through the roof. Most of apple's sales are to current apple customers. Thats great. And not.
While it keeps them in a steady stream of money their market WILL erode.. not because they are selling less, but because they are not selling to new customers. The tablet market is in its infancy and the smartphone market isnt much farther a long. Simple math. The iphone sells 240k phones a day, android sells 700k a day. the more android sells, the smaller the iphone market share will be.
They said that something crazy like 85-90% of i4s sales were coming from current iphone users. That puts a lot of money in apple's pocket, but it does not increase their shares in the market place. They are 2 seperate subjects.
26. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
first off, ur math is wrong.. just because android sells more phones than ios, doesnt mean their market share will go up... the percentage will still remain the same because it will always be the same proportion as long as they both continue selling like that... even when other oses loose market share, there is no way ios can loose market share to android proportionally if they keep those numbers constant
and apple does not solely rely on recurring costomers.. i agree that a large amount are, but there is no way the mac and ipad and iphone could have grown at the rate that they have if they were only relying on old costomers.. people do not have the capacity ro upgrade/buy that mny things that quickly
4. snowgator (Posts: 3609; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
Without meaning to sound cold hearted in any way, the pace at which Apple has been moving the iPad3 has a better chance to be launched on the anniversary of his death next year as opposed to his Birthday. I truly hope for Apple loyalists that the last 18 months or so have been just a bump in the road. I do not think that anything they did on the iPad 2 or the iPhone 4S was groundbreaking or risky. This company can easily just sit back and enjoy a very profitable 2012 without doing much of anything. But it would be great to see them kick it up a notch and truly attack the mobile industry with cutting edge tech in a totally revamped iPad3 and a iPhone 5. We know they have it in them.
16. darkkjedii (Posts: 26805; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Man I can't agree with u more. Very good post... I'm hoping for something big from apple.
19. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
Like what? A 100 core processor with a 100 megapixel camera on the back and 80 megapixel in the front, and has xenon lighting both in the front and back, with 1,000,000P video recording capabilities, and supports, 1,000,000,000,000 colors? 1milimeter thin? With a bulletproof glass. With 1million gb internal memory? And can play dvd's, cd's, and burn them as well? Can download 1million mbps? Has 10g lte technology?
Some people. They expect too much from Apple as if its technology is from out of this world and does not conform with existing technologies, lol.
23. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
i might consider buying an ipad if it came with all that. :)
28. bvalde09 (Posts: 190; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
LOL I agree with you XD . Now being serious When it comes to Apple and his products they are always surrounded by clouds of rumour. Dont call me negative or anything but I think we all know that apple never release anything before. It make sense but I dont think it will come
29. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@remix. Well, a person with your mentality would buy anything with pumped up specs even if no one supports such numbers, lol.
5. Pings (Posts: 304; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Isn't the the Kindle Fire out selling the iPad? Hold on isn't that competitive? It's competitively beating the iPad... I give it a year before Apple can not compete with Android. Like it is now with monthly to yearly phone sales. There is no way a single product can compete with an OS. Sorry Apple it's just a matter of time and that time stared this holiday season.
"The iPad 2 also moved a million units in its first week, but Apple had trouble meeting demand after that. The original iPad sold well, but not anywhere near this rate. The tablet is selling at a rate of a million units a week. Even more impressively, they have managed to meet all of that demand, letting consumers purchase it without wait throughout the holiday shopping season." - phonearena.com
Apple can't say that. What was that about competitive? Just because you bought an Apple product doesn't mean that Android can't compete. The truth is it's just a matter of time before Apple can't compete with Android and is competing with Windows tablets... lol
7. thebikerboi2 (Posts: 144; Member since: 01 Apr 2011)
the fact of the matter is dude is that apple has sold millions more tablets than any other manufacturer, and thaey hold the biggest tablet marketshare, the current succes of the kindle fire will probably level out and it may still be not as big as the ipad. the only reson that android has a bigger marketshare in the smartphone sector is that there are over 200 diferent android smartphones in the on the market, therefore more people are likely to pick an android phone over something like a windows, blackberry or symbian phone. and if you look at the statistics you probably will find that most of the android powered handsets sold are mid level smartphones.
8. tacohunter (Posts: 408; Member since: 06 Nov 2011)
Y i don't really care about sale numbers. But the kindle fire is kinda new to the market while the ipad 2 is from march launch.
Competition is needed. Small difference apple wants iOS only on apple devices. Google wants android on all most every tablets and smartphones. Thank god not every company wants that. Good that their is wp, symbian and bb also to compete.
27. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Um no it's not. it's just selling well that's all
30. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@pings. Just like the honda civics are outselling the bimmers. I wonder why? There's only $15,000 difference between a civic and a 3series. Hmmmm, lol.
9. hybris (Posts: 56; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
I can see why people are drawn to the iPad, but I really don't understand the significant hype. I have one of the first and most basic Android tablets in the 7" Galaxy Tab, and I love it. Still running 2.3 but it's so much more customizable than anything with iOS. I can customize my entire homescreen with replacement launchers and widgets, all without root. As attrative as the iPad is aesthically, I feel too locked down by the operating system. Sure, my tab isn't the fastest or the prettiest, but I got it for a fraction of the cost of the iPad and can do so much more with it. I can only imagine how happy I would be with a newer tablet running Honeycomb [like the Transformer Prime or the 10.1 Galaxy tab.] If I'm going to spend $500+ on a new tablet, I would definitely go with one of those options or hopefully a new ICS tablet over an iPad.
12. thebikerboi2 (Posts: 144; Member since: 01 Apr 2011)
you do know that rooting an android phone is basicly like jailbreaking an iphone right?
14. SlimSoulja86 (Posts: 660; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Ehh! Dude!
15. hybris (Posts: 56; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
Yea thanks, I'm aware of that. What's that have to do with what I said? The point is, you don't have to take it to that level to have customization in Android. There's almost no customization on iOS without jailbreaking. I don't know what point you're trying to make, but you are basically reinforcing one of mine.
31. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@hybris. Well maybe because there are users who do not put customization of wallpapers at the top of their list, lol, but rather high quality apps and a better user experience and better customer support is at the top of their list :)
34. hybris (Posts: 56; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
@530gemini: I'm not criticizing it's lack of customization, I'm pointing out the fact that Android gives you more options for customization. I didn't even criticize iOS, I just said I like Android much more for the reasons I listed. You just sound defensive. There are plenty of users who don't care about customization (and this is obviously beyond just wallpapers, like you mentioned. Wallpapers, really? I didn't mention wallpapers at all. If you that's all you got from my post, this whole topic is over your head.) High quality apps and a better user experience? I have plenty of useful, high quality apps on my Androids, most of which I've payed nothing for. They might not look quite as pretty as some of your iOS ones with a better "user experience," but they are free and get the job done for me. If you feel good working in the confines of iOS, great for you. It's a great operating system for you and people who are afraid to explore a little and try something they aren't used to.
35. hybris (Posts: 56; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
And by the way, I have no problem with Apple products. I love my iPod. I loved my old Powerbook. I would love to have a new Macbook Pro or iMac if I could afford them right now. And if someone gave me an iPad 2 as a gift, I would be thrilled to use it for multimedia and surfing. But for phones, and tablets I would purchase, I prefer Android for many reasons. The iPhone is a great phone for a lot of people, it's just not for me.
11. bossmt_2 (Posts: 459; Member since: 13 Oct 2009)
Man I can see it now, they're gonna launch the iPad on his birthday and the iPhone on the day he died. It will be the iPhone 4SJ the Steve Jobs memorial edition.
13. SlimSoulja86 (Posts: 660; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Lol, Iphone 4SJ EDITION!

Just how far can a polar bear swim?
Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are capable of swimming incredible distances, according to a new study published in Zoology, which recorded polar bears regularly swimming over 30 miles (48 kilometers) and, in one case, as far as 220 miles (354 kilometers). The researchers believe the ability of polar bears to tackle such long-distance swims may help them survive as seasonal sea ice vanishes due to climate change.
"Summer sea ice conditions in the southern Beaufort Sea have changed considerably over the last 20 to 30 years, such that there is much more open water during summer and fall. Historically, there had not been enough open water for polar bears in this region to swim the long distances we observed in these recent summers of extreme sea ice retreat," explains co-author Karen Oakley, of the USGS Alaska Science Center.
Oakley and other scientists with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) used GPS collars to track 52 female bears from 2004 and 2009 recording 50 swims with an average of 96 miles (154 kilometers). The scientists even found evidence that cubs may be able to survive such swims as well. Out of ten observed polar bears with cubs, the scientists were able to find that six of them still had their cubs a year later.
Continues at Polar Bear.

Orlando took one step closer to becoming an MLS club Tuesday night as the Orange County Board of Commissioners voted to approve funds for a new multi-purpose, soccer stadium in the town known for mouse ears and making dreams come true.
The club will now enter final negotiations with Major League Soccer to become the league's 21st franchise, with hopes for an official announcement in the next few months.
If it happens that soon, much speculation indicates that Phil Rawlins and Orlando City could enter MLS as early as 2015 along with confirmed expansion New York City FC.
Owned by Stoke City chairman Phil Rawlins, the club has been the cream of the crop in USL-Pro since the franchise to central Florida from Austin in late 2010.
Orlando City won its second USL-Pro championship earlier this year (the first came in 2011) and has also twice won the Commissioner's Cup (USL's form of the Supporter's Shield) in 2011 and 2012.
Of course Chicago Fire fans will remember the Lions best for the two sides meeting in the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals in June at Toyota Park. An overall media swell surrounded Orlando City's Cinderella run to the final eight, only to see the Fire come out 5-1 winners in the match.
What do you think of Orlando's potential entry into MLS? Tell us below...

TUKWILA, WA -- Avanti Markets is introducing two checkout terminals and two food safety products designed to increase installation options for its microomarket system.
The new Executive Kiosk is a streamlined self-checkout terminal designed to increase customer convenience in high-volume locations by offering multiple checkout stations and to extend the micromarket concept to "borderline" sites by lowering the acquisition cost. It costs about half as much as the full-size model, thus permitting profitable micromarket operation in accounts with as few as 75 employees.
Among the cost- and size-reducing features of the Executive Kiosk are the absence of a receipt printer and a bill validator. During checkout, the customer can respond to a prompt that offers to mail the receipt. Payment can be made with the patron's Market Card or major credit or debit card.
Also new is a countertop version of the fully featured Avanti kiosk, designed for use in installations where a service bar or counter already is present. Its functionality is the same as the freestanding model's.
Avanti also is offering two methods for insuring the safety of perishable products in refrigerated reach-in display cabinets. The turnkey solution is the Royal Vision Cooler RVCH-027, which is made by Royal Vendors and comes equipped with a health switch, similar to those on refrigerated food vending machines. This monitors the temperature inside the cabinet, and locks the door to prevent access if that temperature rises above a preset value. This prevents access to potentially spoiled food if the location's power shuts down over a weekend, but comes back on before the location reopens on Monday.
Operators who now have conventional refrigerated reach-in display cases can retrofit them with the FoodGard TTL-100 from ESC Co. (Randolph, MA). Designed for attachment to existing coolers and freezers, FoodGard is self-contained and battery operated; it needs no external power, but can accommodate a remote power supply with backup. Engineered to work with single- or double-door coolers and freezers, FoodGard can be installed in the field. The kit includes the controller (with door blocker) and sensors for internal temperature and door position. A communication option also is available.
Avanti Markets offers a variety of energy-efficient coolers, fixtures and comprehensive video security to support the kiosks. Its software is engineered to enable quick and easy transactions by patrons while providing the operator with an easy-to-used Web-based inventory management system. The operator interface has been designed to permit inputting new product information and updating merchandise within minutes.

SANFORD, Fla. - A judge ruled on Friday that more evidence will be reviewed, redacted and released in the case against George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watchman who is charged with shooting and killing 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February.
Prosecutors wanted to block the release of the new evidence, including statements Zimmerman made to police, pictures of the crime scene, names of witnesses and cellphone records. Prosecutors say Zimmerman's statements are inconsistent.
But Judge Kenneth Lester said the law "favors full, complete and open disclosure." Lester said he will "review, redact and release items in question."
It's not clear when the evidence will be released.
Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara believes Zimmerman's emails and text messages could prejudice a potential jury. They also believe the new evidence being released will make it more difficult to find a fair jury.
O'Mara posted a news release on his defense website, GZLegalCase.com, explaining the defense team's view on Friday's hearing. According to the website, O'Mara said the legal team was asking for 30 days to review the new evidence before releasing it to the public.
"We understand that 30 days can seem like a long time, especially to a public with an appetite for information in the era of the 24 hour news cycle, but consider a 30 day review in the context of the entire defense timeline," O'Mara wrote on the website. "We expect a second round of discovery from the prosecution soon, and we are simply requesting a short amount of time to process it. "
Lawyers for media outlets filed motions on Tuesday to intervene in order to get the evidence released, saying the evidence is public record.
Meanwhile, Zimmerman has added a new attorney to his team. Attorney Don West is now on the defense team. West most recently represented 'Ax the Tax' founder Doug Guetzloe, who was sentenced in May for failing to pay taxes.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty of second-degree murder, claiming self-defense. O'Mara said he believes the case won't be ready for trial until 2013.

Lainey dishes on RPattz's b'day party:
Started out as a small group, just RP and an older gentleman, Kristen Stewart, and his friend Sam Bradley but others arrived as the night progressed: Ashley Greene, Jamie Campbell Bower, Charlie Bewley were the other Twilight actors in attendance and several other non-famous folks toasted Pattinson's 23rd. [blah, blah, blah...you'll have to go to Lainey to read the rest; sometimes she isn't that nice, so I don't feel like repeating her.]Lainey also gives deets on filming today:
Will I spoil it for you when I say they both had an early pick up this morning? Very early. Shooting Bella bedroom scenes. He goes through her photos and she cries and mopes some more when there are no photos. Also something about her opening her eyes and there he is beside her waiting for her to wake up. Pattinson is concurrently continuing green screen work with the other vampires. Winding down his stay in Vancouver.

I agree with you, Walter.
We need people in the council who will be willing to make tough decisions (which may offend or upset some people in the city) in an expedient manner.
We also need people on the council who are concerned about all the really pressing issues facing our city--not just people who are interested in photo opportunities while pushing their personal one-issue driven agenda.

I agree. Enough of this democracy junk. Let the chamber of commerce and the big money interests run the show. They're doing a great job in Washington, lets give it a try here too.
So what if they build ugly stuff? Let the town look like the Cheesecake Factory. Who cares as long as they make money. So what if the schools are overcrowded, and the roads are breaking down. Who do those people who live here think they are anyway? citizens or something?

The problem with our City Council is it's too big, we have quantity and not quality. Reduce the number of our City Council from nine to seven like most of the surrounding Cities. Then lets get some action with the really important issues instead of all this feel good stuff and endless talk.
If we only had two spots to fill we wouldn't be searching around for candidates, good or bad, to fill those empty seats at City Hall.

Is the "Editor" posting so many new threads an editor of the Weekly?
Why are you publicizing one particular candidate?
And why are you creating so many new threads? Getting tired of the same guys who keep posting again and again? Or are you trying to encourage them.

For those of you who haven't worked it out.
Everytime there is a news article on the home page, there is the opportunity to comment which starts a thread. The thread then starts the thread and is posted by "The Editor" rather than the staff writer who wrote the article. You can also tell, because the thread will only have the first couple of sentences on the article and then a web link, rather than the article in its entirety.
Sometimes, this is why two threads start on the same topic at roughly the same time.
You can check this by looking at all the articles on the home page and then the threads appear below.
Clever, huh?

Our council has nine members while all adjacent cities of have five or seven. We now have at least three council members who have limited vision and hype only their own narrow interests. A broad picture of what Palo Alto needs and how to get there is totally lacking.
Our limited resources should be focused on rebuilding the aging city infrastructure. Many hundreds of millions in backlog is awaiting funding. I don't see efforts made to reduce less important programs to free up money for urgent ones. Instead more consultants and managers are hired to forward pet projects. Increasing fees of the Utility Dept. is a form of taxation to increase revenue for the General Fund.
In short, where is our leadership?

Unfortunately, we need a bigger council because of the gorilla across El Camino. If anything affects Stanford, anyone with significant ties must step back. Currently there are three. As long as people with ties to Stanford have the legal right as a citizen to run for office, we are stuck. (Other cities have similar issues with other mega-employers.)

Before I forget, my name's Leah.
Yes, it actually is. (:
How did you pick your screen name?
Honestly, I don't remember. But I know I first started using it when I came upon the Lexicon back in 2006.
How did you come to read Twilight and which book is your favorite?
I saw it on the new releases shelf and pretty much judged the book by its cover. I picked it up, and couldn't put it back down.
This Friday my friend had an extra copy of Breaking Dawn. The entire saga was at the back of my mind until she offered to give it to me. It was wonderful getting back into those books, but Twilight will always be my number one.
Who do you like best: Edward, Bella, or Jacob?
Aha. Wellll, I used to not be much of a fan of Jake. Until Breaking Dawn, then that all changed. So it's a tie.
Who is your favorite minor character?
Zafrina, or Carmen.
From Breaking Dawn anyways.
What are your hobbies?
Hmm. I like to read (well that's a no brainer). I also enjoy being sarcastic, if you can consider that a hobby (don't worry, I'm nice 99% of the time! And that wasn't meant to sound sarcastic. Hah. I'll shut up now.). Love to hang out with friends, and all that.
Where are you from (general area like Montana, not exact town!)?
Be jealous. :p
How old are you (In general, like teen, 20's, 30's, 40's etc)?
Going on 15 this October.
Boy, I must seem like a really annoying teenager, eh?
Anything else?
Just this past summer, I traveled with my dad to Washington state to visit a few family friends. They lived a few hours from Seattle in this area called Tumwater (laugh, laugh). I was there for only 5 days, and it took me a while to realize that hey, wasn't there some book I read that was set around Seattle (I was a bit out of the Twilight loop back then)? Duh, FORKS. A name like that doesn't slip the mind too easily. Turns out I was exactly 4 hours away from there. By the time that I realized that, however, it was the night before I had to leave. Let's just say I was kicking myself pretty hard.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cardlytics, a leading analytics and marketing platform, has announced that their service will be expanded to allow consumers to opt-in to receiving offers and rewards via Facebook.
Founded in the U.S. in 2008, Cardlytics enables banks and retailers to provide timely offers to customers in a precisely targeted way; based on their individual, past purchases. Up until now, offers have been available to customers via their online and mobile bank statements, and via e-mail.
This latest innovation will allow partner banks to deploy a Facebook App that integrates with the Cardlytics reward platform. The App will let consumers privately see their offers and rewards while using Facebook.
Crucially for the consumer, no personal banking information is entered or shared anywhere in this process. The Cardlytics software simply uses the Facebook API to create a link from an anonymous token ID at the bank to their individual Facebook ID.
Cardlytics has enjoyed huge success since launching in 2008. The company is the global leader in card-linked marketing, partnering with more than 300 banks providing insight into the spending of nearly 70% of households across the U.S. In addition, Cardlytics works closely with thousands of businesses, sourcing marketing offers from retailing, restaurants and other consumer-facing brands. Cardlytics will be launching in the U.K. market in 2013.
"Extending our reward program to Facebook is a really exciting development," said Jason Brooks, U.K. managing director of Cardlytics. "This functionality will increase engagement between banks and their customers. Now banks have an option to interact with their customers in new media like Facebook, without compromising any principles on security and data protection."

Tila Tequila makes citizen's arrest against football player Shawne Merriman
By Melissa Hunter
Combine an outlandish reality star with a football superstar, and it's bound to be toxic. So it was no surprise that Tila Tequila made a citizen's arrest on football player Shawne Merriman this weekend. She claimed that the football player choked and restrained her when she attempted to leave his home Sunday morning.
Tequila was taken to a hospital, though had no visible injuries, and allegedly signed a citizen's arrest form against Merriman. He was taken into custody on suspicion of battery and false imprisonment, but was released on bail. On Monday, Merriman denied the charges and said that he was tring to assist Tequila, who he said was intoxicated, to make sure she didn't hurt herself.
RELATED: See our recipe for a Tila Tequila Sunrise and other Celebrity Mixed Drinks
Merriman's statement read, "I was taken into custody based upon that complaint. At the time, I was concerned about her welfare given the intoxicated state she appeared to be in, and I encouraged her to stay until safe transportation could be provided. We would all do our best to help a friend if we considered their actions to be detrimental to their personal safety. I in no way caused any harm to Ms. Nguyen, however, paramedics were called, and she was examined, but no injuries were reported. She was released and has since returned to Los Angeles, California."
While Merriman made official statements, Tequila turned to Twitter to give her side of the story. She Tweeted that she was not intoxicated and explained, "I am allergic to alcohol. It has been publicly known for years. That is how I got the name Tila 'Tequila' cuz the irony. I can't drink."
RELATED: See what celebrities are tweeting about this week
Huh, never knew that. Her irony is at a different level, guys. We just don't get her. Contrary to her Tweet, Associated Press reported that several of the employees at the club where Merriman and Tequila partied Saturday night claimed that she drank several shots of tequila and sipped from a bottle of vodka, claiming she was visibly intoxicated.
Tequila also posted a message (which has since been deleted) alluding to Merriman using steroids and linking to an article on the effect of steroids on aggressive behavior.

Paylocity IPO Soars, but Some Investors See Trouble
On the IPO market, this could be business-software week.
Six companies that make software that help businesses manage their operations are scheduled to debut this week, according to research firm Renaissance Capital.
Shares of the first to begin trading, payroll and human-resources software firm Paylocity, are up roughly 55% Wednesday. That gives the company, which posted $77 million of revenue and $31,000 in operating profit in the year ended June 30, a market value of $1.3 billion.
This week's crop follows the recent strong debuts of healthcare-software firm Castlight Health, and of Varonis, which helps companies cull and manage information from emails, spreadsheets and video files. Other business-software IPOs are coming, including file-storage startup Box, which was valued at $2 billion in a private financing in December.
Investors have seized on these companies for their growth rates, predictable sales streams and expectations that they are reaching into relatively untapped areas for technology.
But many are unprofitable, and that worries one veteran startup investor. Peter Fenton, a partner at venture-capital firm Benchmark, said investor hunger for fast-growing companies may be pushing business-software companies to ignore profits and spend whatever it takes to grow quickly.

If You're Gonna Dream, Might As Well Put in a V12.
This homebuilt retro-rebel rod is unexpected, and that's the way we like it. Inspired by the unforgettable lyrics of Charlie Ryan's rockabilly song from the '50s, it is rough around the edges, a bit of an outlaw. Best of all, Bob "Stretch" Stredwick's '30 five-window coupe with a 4-inch chop and massive 8-inch channel on a double Z'd frame represents his personal interpretation of the legendary "Hot Rod Lincoln."
The masterpiece of this build is the '41 Lincoln-Zephyr V12 engine. Ron Baker at Valley Engine Rebuilders in Visalia, California, revitalized the 71-year-old, 292ci flathead by removing the useless oil slinger and carefully grafting in front and rear rubber main seals. He also stepped down the crank snout and modified a 327 small-block harmonic balancer, as well as the original pulley, to eliminate the awkward space between the block and the radiator.
The balanced and blueprinted engine has a stock bore of 2.875 inches and a smooth stroke of 3.750 inches. So when the motor went back together, Baker bored the cylinders 0.40-over and ground the crank 0.010-0.010. To increase flow, he took time to seat-blend the ports on each chamber and installed a custom Schneider Racing cam. In the meantime, Stretch added two more intake platforms to the manifold to improve fuel delivery. Then he welded up handmade headers from scratch to add breathability and enhance the nostalgic look.
Now the polished V12 is fuel-injected and runs on a distributorless ignition system, largely due to the persistence of Stretch's friends, who logged numerous late nights in his large, steel-framed garage. Putting their heads together made the hybrid technology possible. Ol' school rodder Skip Kent worked the complex wiring and ignition system that uses six coils. His son, J.D. Kent, got the computer to talk to the three Stromberg 97–style faux carburetors and routed the fuel lines to perfectly align with the custom valve covers. All along, J.D.'s big brother, Emmett, kept tabs on the crew and made sure they never ran out of beer.
A few years ago when Stretch was in the middle of this project, he came across a drawing by noted automotive illustrator Michael Miernik that appeared in a magazine. Stredwick said it best when he explained how the drawing inspired him: "When the hot rodders in the '50s started on a project, they began with the motor. Then by the time they got to the bodywork, they were broke. So most of [the cars] were primered, then a guy would get tired of that and put flames over the top."
Had Stretch realized just how rough the steel Model A body was, perhaps he would have never started. But after trying to fix the inherited 4-inch backyard chop and patch the rust himself, sanity got the better of him, and he grabbed the phone. Luckily, Brett McGinley down the road answered his call. Along with his crew at McGinley Motorsports, Brett hammered and sprayed the five-window back into shape.
Brett used an unusual process to achieve the classic flames-on-primer look. Over the coats of epoxy primer and several applications of sealer, he laid down the metal flake and candy for the flames. Then he masked the flames, applying a gray basecoat and flat clear over the top, giving the appearance of primer. This untraditional method allowed for a seamless edge along the flames, perfect for pinstriping. Other tricks included painting the V12 block, dash, and door moldings to match the candy-orange flames and shooting the firewall white to simulate the powdercoating on the frame.
As with so many projects, a thousand little decisions can lead up to one big decision. After investing six years in the build process, Stretch, along his wife, Ennie, and their hard-working son, Tanner, made a family decision to invest another year of showing their Hot Rod Lincoln before driving the wheels off of it.
Receiving invitations to the prestigious Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, California, and Goodguys event in Spokane, Washington, were lifetime dreams. But some of the most unforgettable trophies came from events closer to their home in Bozeman, Montana, where the crowd-pleasing Model A grabbed Best of Show at the Yellowstone Rod Run and received the Essence of Cool from the New family at the Boise Roadster Show.
Now that the car-show circuit is over, there is time to put some miles on this hot rod. So don't be surprised to see it rolling across the country with the windows down and the headers uncorked, the candy flames blowing in the wind and whitewalls burning up the blacktop. The gauges will be a-jumpin', the V12 a-pumpin'. When the lines in the road look like dots, Stretch will know that he can't stop driving his hot rod Lincoln.

OCEAN CITY- The 28th Annual Ocean City Shark Tournament went off without a hitch last weekend with three outstanding days of fishing off the coast of the resort.
Although the number of boats and the amount of prize money paid out was down from last year's record-setting tournament, there was plenty of action offshore and at the marina during the 2008 event. Sixty-one boats participated this year compared to 83 last year, and the total payout this year was $125,818 compared to roughly $147,000 in 2007, but the slight declines did nothing to tarnish what was once again an outstanding event.
This year's version had a little bit of everything including a big sharks of all sizes and species weighed at the scales, dozens more released, thousands of dollars in prize money awarded and hundreds of fans cramming into the host Ocean City Fishing Center for what has become a festival of sport fishing, music, food and fun. While 14 sharks were brought to the scales for weighing over the three official fishing days, the tournament lived up to its fish-friendly and educated-minded reputation with 134 other sharks released.
Of the 14 sharks weighed at the scales, eight were makos. There were also four blue sharks weighed at the scales as well as one hammerhead and one thresher.
The sharks that were brought into the scales resulted in thousands of dollars in prize money for several boats and anglers participating. First place in the Mako Division went to angler Tony Gay fishing aboard the "Gag Order," who landed a 244-pounder worth $7,950. As it often happens in fishing tournaments, however, the first-place fish in terms of weight is not always first in terms of prize money because of added entry levels.
For example, angler Jeff Schulte fishing aboard the "It'll Do II" caught the second-place mako at 209 pounds but was awarded the most prize money in the division at $16,485. Third place in the mako division went to angler Cory Carrell aboard the "Seaduction" with a 136-pounder worth $12,079.
The Open Division followed a different pattern with the top shark in terms of weight earning the most prize money. Angler Nathanial Leader fishing aboard the "Keep Er Wet" landed a 273-pound hammerhead for the top spot in the division and a check for $19,965. Angler Bud Fogg fishing aboard the "Contagious" hauled in a 268-pound thresher for second place in the open division and a check for $3,984. Local angler Larry Trala of Berlin took third place in the open division with a 237-pound blue shark caught aboard the "Chasin' Tails" worth $10,352 with added entry levels.
As the name implies, sharks are the main targeted species in the annual tournament, but there was plenty of action in the other divisions of the event. Oddly enough, the bluefish division produced some of the larger pay days in terms of prize money.
For example, angler Brian Kaluatis fishing aboard the "No Limits" hauled in an 11.6-pound bluefish for first place in the division and a check for $5,535. However, angler Corey Curleu fishing aboard the "Seaduction" brought in a 10.2-pounder worth $16,046, and Ron Perdue fishing aboard the "Eversmen 5" brought in a 9.9-pound bluefish for third place in the division but was awarded $9,330 because of added entry levels.
First place in the tuna division went to angler Charlie Burris, Jr. aboard the "Marli" with a 23-pound bluefin worth $1,530. Of course, conservation is a hallmark of the Ocean City Shark Tournament and cash prizes were awarded to the boats that released the most sharks over the three-day event. First place in the release division and a check for $4,260 went to the "Canyon Crusher" with 54 release points. The "Tree Hugger" was second with 32 points and earned $1,500, while the "Bitter Salt" was third with 26 points and earned $1,000.
Finally, the Ocean City Sharker of the Year award, given to the team that accumulates the most points in both the Mako Mania and Ocean City Shark Tournaments, went to Captain Luke Blume and the crew aboard the "Press Time," which accumulated 256 total points combined in the two events.

an amazing likeness
Our calendar has quite a variety of plans for this weekend's racers.
If I'm remembering correctly, lagwagon is aiming for a sub 1:30 half marathon. That's a sub-7 average pace. Wow!
Cheechf16 joined RA this fall, planning on running a first-ever half marathon, but doesn't seem to have been active on RA for a while...so no idea if that's still in the works.
MrRipper has a good looking half marathon training plan in his RA log leading up to this weekend....but no entries since Oct 31...so again, no idea if race plans are on or off.
I'm heading down to Portsmouth NH for a race that has about 1200 runners. I've run this race once before (2010) and remember it as beautiful course along sections of marsh and ocean, and old NH villages. I do remember that the course starts with about 1 mi downhill and you have to come back up the same route and climb to the finish. (lollipop shaped course) One of the RDs (and I think creator) for this race is 'coastwalker' here on RA - he's a race walker, and very fast (like 11/min miles).
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
Hope you all have great races!
Sounds like a great course for you MT! Just zone out for the hill at the finish and think about how good you will feel afterwards
Good luck to our racers! Run fast and strong!
Go as long as you can, and then take another step.
Hope all the racers are ready and make it to the start line, knowing the course is a big plus in terms of correct pacing, even the wind can be a factor. Good luck to all!
PBs since age 60: 5k- 24:36, 10k - 47:17. Half Marathon- 1:42:41.
10 miles (unofficial) 1:16:44.
I peeked at your result, MT. You must be happy with your result - great finish time, top 10% - Yay!

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Great weather for a race -- cloudy and low 50's, with just a bit of breeze. Course was as pretty and interesting as I remember. Stunning ocean views out over concrete grey sky over rolling green seas and whitecaps, old village sections, salt marsh sections. And...it was FLAT...just steady gentle rollers and some sharper sections...but what a relief after all the last few hill monster half marathons. Nice.
I posted a 1:42:07 time for the race, not one of my top times...but I'm pleased with it in two dimensions....first - I've had three consecutive 50+ mile weeks heading into the weekend, so ran this race without any cutback and didn't really have any pop in the legs, and second, I aimed for even effort the whole race, and ran the race distance with no fade. Nice even splits:
miles 1 - 5 were: 7:43, 7:46, 7:33, 7:41, 7:42
miles 6 - 10: 7:48, 7:51 (lack of focus?), 7:38, 7:41, 7:40
miles 10-13: 7:40, 7:44, 7:40
The series of 7:40 splits from 10 onward weren't super fast, but they came at the point where lots of folks were starting to fade, so I was steadily picking off runners at this point which made the miles click by easier than usual at the end.
This is a well organized race with a great course, good on-course services, and good post-race location. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a half in the NH area. The only downsides are the course runs "long", you can't run this course and come close to 13.1 or 13.2 miles...so whatever pace you're actually running will be much faster than the results (I ran 7:41 avg on my gps versus 7:48 official), and you're taking chances with the weather in mid-November.
Sooo that's only a 23 min 5k at the end of a half? Slacker!
Great race Andy solid performance. Where's it going to be in December?
2017 Goals1) Run more than 231 miles2) Be ready for HM in the spring
Great job Andy!!
I hope you are still planning to come to Kiawah! Would love to meet you
You can help me celebrate after I get my Sub-4 hour marathon. Hahaha.
Well done, MT!
I think a good taper is worth at least 3% so you probably could have got below 1:40 if rested. Nice race.
I think a good taper is worth at least 3% so you probably could have got below 1:40 if rested. Nice race.
Even with a taper heading in, not sure I have the leg speed to get below 1:40 right now Simon. I need to do more speed work (tempo and interval) and get mentally tougher....I'm not able to keep my focus and push on when my legs start complaining about the pace.
I hope you are still planning to come to Kiawah! Would love to meet you
You can help me celebrate after I get my Sub-4 hour marathon. Hahaha.
Sadly...I'm not going to be able to swing Kiawah this year on 12/8, VF. I was *very* eager to get to Charleston for some sightseeing and the race, and the unexpected icing on the cake of running with you -- unfortunately that weekend conflicts with a larger family event and they just weren't willing to change for my silly race plan.
Sooo that's only a 23 min 5k at the end of a half? Slacker!
Great race Andy solid performance. Where's it going to be in December?
Thanks, Matt -- I did some lolligagging in the 10 - 11 split just trying to save energy, so you're right.
After scrambling a bit and searching options...just registered a few minutes ago for Annapolis Half on 12/1 in Annapolis, MD. This race looks to have been a fiasco last year...short course, timing problems, using a 8ft bike path as part of an out-and-back section with 3500 runners. Yikes! Hope this year is better.

"Obscenity is a moral concept in the verbal arsenal of the establishment, which abuses the term by applying it, not to expressions of its own morality but to those of another."
"Crist and Gallagher are raising nuclear arsenals, and the great part of it is they're going to use it against each other. They're going to do our work for us painting themselves into a primary box way to the right. Whichever Democrat comes out of the primary gets to come out with the moderate and swing voters all to themselves."
"It would just remove a weapon from our arsenal. Lots of communities use tax incentives that they offer to companies."
"We were almost faultless against Arsenal when we drew 0-0 on Sunday and one of the best teams in Europe did not score against us,"
"It might be a different story at Arsenal because if you concede too much possession they can play through you at quite a pace. So I think City will play their normal game, defend from the front and hope to take their chances when they come."
"They are just consolidating the whole vehicle research and development logistics acquisition function of the Army at the Detroit Arsenal, and bringing the pieces there that have been separated, ... It says a lot about southeast Michigan, and it's also a big economic boost."
"We learned that disturbing this land, for example tilling and replanting, mobilizes the arsenic and lead. The remobilized metals were found in sediments in a stream channel that drains the tilled orchard."

Most of us have a limit to the amount of debt we can amass based on our credit history, outstanding debt and annual income.
Prior to 1917, the U.S. government could only issue debt if Congress approved it. Hence, Congress had control over the amount of debt the federal government could accrue. In 1917, Congress passed the Debt Ceiling Bond Act which allowed the executive branch to issue bonds without Congressional approval. Since that time, the debt ceiling has been raised on numerous occasions and very soon the U.S. will be faced with this decision once again.
The present debt ceiling stands at $16.394 trillion and, while we are only $63 billion shy of that, most observers expect we will hit the ceiling sometime in late February or early March. Although we averted the fiscal cliff recently, the debt ceiling could be as much of an issue as was the cliff. Here's the point. The larger government becomes, the more debt it amasses, the more tax dollars it will require to pay its bills and fund its operations. This would result in a greater tax burden levied on the American people and less capital in the private sector to spend and invest. This scenario would also stymie demand.
If demand does weaken, production could fall along with prices. Hence, unemployment would rise as businesses cut their budgets and a recession could follow. Now I'm not saying a recession is imminent, but if the events unfold as discussed, it is a distinct possibility. To prevent this the Fed continues to buy about $80 billion in mortgage backed securities and Treasuries each month. Of course, lending standards would need to be relaxed further in order to realize the full effect of this latest round of QE.
As mentioned, the debt ceiling has been raised many times over the years. Reagan raised the debt ceiling 17 times, George H. W. Bush and Clinton each raised it four times, George W. Bush raised it seven times, and Obama has raised it four times. Raising the debt ceiling is not inherently good or bad. However, with the economy growing at such a slow rate and in the absence of a budget, our ability to service the debt is diminishing.
In fact, at least one rating agency has discussed lowering our credit rating once again. In the March 2011 issue of Investment Advisor magazine I interviewed Ken Volpert of Vanguard. Volpert stated that he believed Washington's fiscal policy was the greatest danger to the economy. I wholeheartedly agree.

The Henry Mountains of southeastern Utah are a sight to see with their pale gray igneous peaks rising above skirts of red sandstone that flank their sides. Between 20 to 30 million years ago magma rose from below to push through the Triassic and Jurassic sandstone and to dome the overlying Cretaceous rocks. Later erosion of the Cretaceous rock exposed the long-cooled magma, now an igneous rock known as diorite porphyry.
In this picture taken above Starr Springs, Mount Hillers and Mount Pennell rise into the storm clouds to the north while Mount Holmes and Mount Ellsworth are similarly lost in the clouds to the south. Some sun reflects off the pale sandstone around the Bullfrog Marina of Lake Powell to the southwest.
Utah is a state located in the westcentral region of the United States of America. Utah is the 13th largest state by area, ranks 34th by population and 10th by population density of the 50 United States. Utah was the 45th state to be admitted into the Union, on January 4, 1896. Utah is landlocked, being bordered by the states of Idaho to the north, Wyoming to the northeast, Nevada on the west, Colorado on the east and Arizona to the south. Utah is very mountainous and is a popular outing destination of the outdoorsman. The state population is about 2.82M with 95% being Caucasian, 2.4% Asian, 1.7% Native American and 1.3% Black. The state capital and largest city is Salt Lake City.Source: wikipedia

Gosselin: Why the Mavericks better hope they get .500 before hitting the road
Catch SportsDay On Air twice per week on Fox Sports Southwest, when Dallas Morning News experts discuss hot sports topics from the Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars, Rangers and colleges (check our TV listings for air times). Here are a few highlights from Monday's episode featuring Rick Gosselin and Gerry Fraley:
On if the Mavs will get to .500 soon:
Gosselin: "Again, you're selling hope. They believe if they can get to .500, they will be a contending team so the goal is to get to .500 forget everything else. Get to .500. But they better get to .500 on this home stand because this is not a good road team. If they go on the road, they'll be growing their beards again."
On if the Mavs should keep growing their beards:
Fraley: "Doesn't O.J. Mayo look like Kimbo Slice, the UFC guy? Sure, why not? Ride it out. Grow the hockey beard. Do it all. If you are going to do something, do it to an excess. Anything that's worth doing, is worth doing to an excess so do it to an excess. Why not? Remember the Red Sox idiots, that became their rallying cry, and they won the World Series. The clubhouse dynamic is interesting. Things like that can somehow become a unifying bond and it generates some energy."

Americans Abroad
(Monday, January 10, 2011) -- American Jonathan Spector made it three goals in his last two cup appearances, scoring for West Ham United in its 2-0 victory over visiting Barnsley Saturday in an English FA Cup third-round match at Upton Park.
Out of favor with West Ham United manager Avram Grant, Spector's playing time has generally been limited to cup matches for a club that stands last in the Premier League. That was the case Saturday when Grant played Spector, normally a central defender, in the central midfield.
In the 22nd minute, Spector took a pass from midfielder Mark Noble and slotted a ball under goalkeeper Luke Steele with a low, angled drive which nestled inside the far post. West Ham added a stoppage time goal from reserve striker Frederic Piquionne to put the match out of reach.
On November 30, Spector's two goals, his first in the previous three years, sent host West Ham into the Carling Cup semifinals with a stunning 4-0 upset triumph over Manchester United.
After the hectic holiday schedule in English soccer, things slowed down this weekend with third-round FA Cup matches, including six in which Premier League teams traveled to face teams from the second-tier League Championship.
One such match featured struggling Aston Villa, which went to Sheffield United, a battered team with 11 players sidelined with various injuries. Villa has struggled on the road, winning only twice in 11 away matches. With reserve Brad Guzan, normally the starter in cup matches, loaned to Hull City of the League Championship, fellow American Brad Friedel was in his accustomed place in the Villa's net for a 3-1 win.
Holding on to a one-goals lead and playing with 10 men after Ashley Young was sent off with a red card in the 77th minute, things got tight for Villa before a stoppage time goal by Stiliyan Petrov sealed the result.
Friedel was not busy, but came up big when he had to, stopping Jamie Ward point-blank in the 22nd minute, and later laid out full-length to push a well-taken overhead kick by Johnny Ertl wide near the end. Friedel finished with three saves.
American defender Eric Lichaj did not dress for Villa.
Guzan was less successful for Hull City, which was eliminated from the FA Cup third round for the second year in a row by thre Premier League's Wigan Athletic 3-2. Guzan ended up with seven saves in the wide-open match, but he gave up goals to Mohamed Diame and Callum McManaman.
American Marcus Hahnemann was back in goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers, who required a late goal to force a 2-2 draw with Doncaster Rovers and set up a replay.
In a tight match, Wolves played a man down for the final 13 minutes after defender George Elokobi, who was sent off with a red card. Hahnemann played well and ended with three saves.
Fulham had an easy time defeating Peterborough United of the third-division League One 6-2 behind three goals by Diomansy Kamaram, his first hat trick in English soccer.
United States midfielder Clint Dempsey and most of Fulham regulars started the match with Dempsey coming out in the 61st minute of a game in which Fulham outshot the visitors 22-8.
U.S. forward Eddie Johnson dressed, but did not play amid rumors he will be sold or loaned out during this month's transfer window.
In something of a surprise, normal starter Tim Howard was also used in the FA Cup by Everton, which easily dispatched Scunthorpe United of the League Championship 5-1. Howard made four saves.
U.S. midfielder Stuart Holden remains out with a thigh injury for Bolton Wanderers, who used mostly reserves and received two late goals to slip past York City of the fifth-tier Nationwide Conference 2-0.
American Frank Simek went the distance for Carlisle United which came up short 1-0 and was eliminated by Torquay United in a battle of third-division League One clubs.
Simek was issued a yellow card moments before half time. American forward Mike Grella did not dress for Carlisle.
Zak Whitbread went the distance as his Norwich City was eliminated 1-0 by Leyton Orient.
American attacker Robbie Findley did not dress for Nottingham Forest, which defeated Preston North End 2-1.
In a regular League One match, American midfielder Anton Peterlin remained on the bench for Plymouth Argyle, a 3-0 loser to AFC Bournemouth 3-0.
American forward Jemal Johnson did not dress for Milton Keynes Dons, who played to a 1-1 draw with Exeter City.
U.S. defender Carlos Bocanegra started, but was replaced by Argentine striker Gonzalo Bergesio in the 64th minute for Saint Étienne of Ligue 1, which started the second half of the season by being unceremoniously ousted from the Coupe de France (French Cup) 2-0 by Clermont Foot Auvergne 63 of Ligue 2.
Saint Étienne went a man down in the 75th minute and Clermont then coasted to close out the upset.
U.S. striker Jozy Altidore was on the bench, but did not play for Villarreal, which fell 4-2 to Real Madrid 4-2 on Sunday.
U.S. midfielder Maurice Edu, who has been out for almost a month after taking a sharp hit on his surgically-repaired left knee, returned to action, coming off the bench in the 67th minute of a 3-0 defeat of Kilmarnock in the Scottish FA Cup on Monday.

Damn that would have been amazing
Damn that would have been amazing
Hell of a game and all the respect in the world to Butler. Nobody in the world picked them to do anything and they were seconds away from a national championship.
I really wanted that shot to go
This was absolutely the best tournament I've ever seen. Newfound love for College basketball after this.
That block from Howard on that last second shot was big.
Damn, that kid for the rest of his life is going to be reliving that shot over and over, to come that close and losing must be painful.
I only wish Gus Johnson was calling that shot, he would have died on air if that went in
How did Duke find four kids that look like the evil albino monk from the Da Vinci Code?
College Basketball was alot more evened out this year, Look back at Nationial Championship teams of the past if you think Butler could have stayed in a game with North Carolina, Florida, Kansas of years past your crazy.
They shot about 35% the whole tournament, had spans in every game where they went almost 10 min without a field goal. Just playing good defense, doesn't win you games in Basketball. I don't think saying they would be one of the worst championship teams of all time is a stretch compared to years past.
We should be proud we witnessed such a great game. Butlers got guts. They fought (they way the game was called) tooth and nail with NCAA Titans and were an inch off the glass away from glory.
Look at the execution on the last play off the free throw.
They did Indy proud.

Home mortgage borrowers are getting some relief in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that major state banks and mortgage services will offer no foreclosures and no late fees for 90 days for those living in areas affected by the storm. State chartered banks included in this effort are Apple Savings Bank, New York Community Bank and Ridgewood Savings Bank and mortgage services involved include Citi Mortgage, Nationstar and Homeward Residential.
"I am proud to say that major New York State chartered banks and registered mortgage servicers have agreed to waive fees and penalties so borrowers, who are already facing the difficulties and expenses of recovering, won't have this additional cost," said Cuomo.
Details may vary from institution to institution and borrowers should contact their individual bank or mortgage provider for specifics.
