Stuttgart, GERMANY – The BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global will return on 22-29 October 2017 at the Singapore Sports Hub where the greatest in women's tennis will face off in the year-end crown jewel event of the WTA calendar. The Top 8 singles players and Top 8 doubles teams will compete for a record US$7 million in prize money and the prestigious Billie Jean King Trophy and the Martina Navratilova Doubles Trophy respectively.
Public sale of tickets launched today at WTAFinals.com by defending champion Dominika Cibulkova and new WTA Finals Legend Ambassador Kim Clijsters, at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, Germany. Clijsters, a former WTA World No.1, had an illustrious career claiming three WTA Finals titles, 41 singles and 11 doubles WTA titles, along with four singles and two doubles Grand Slam titles before retiring in 2012.
Clijsters will join fellow WTA Legends Martina Navratilova and Arantxa Sánchez Vicario to promote the WTA Finals at various tournament stops throughout the year. She will be in Singapore to engage fans and the community during the WTA Finals, hosting tennis clinics and meeting fans at the Fan Village and the Racquet Club.
The WTA Finals festival will start two days before the tournament on Friday, 20 October, with the glitzy red-carpet public Singles Draw Ceremony followed by the opening of the Fan Village on Saturday at the Singapore Sports Hub, where fans can meet and have their pictures taken with the stars of the WTA amongst other tennis-themed activities. The award winning hospitality program, Racquet Club, will also be back with its five-star dining experiences, which includes access to the Aces Lounge and premium baseline seats.
"It is such an honor to be an ambassador of the WTA Finals which is probably the toughest tournament to compete in because every match is against the best," stated Kim Clijsters. "I have heard so much about Singapore and how great the tournament is, so I am really excited to be part of the event. It seems the fans in Singapore are a lot of fun so I am looking forward to meeting them and visiting the beautiful city."
"The unique beauty of the WTA Finals is that it brings together not only the greatest players of the season for some show-stopping tennis on court, but also some of the biggest names in women's tennis," said Steve Simon, WTA CEO and Chairman. "This allows us to celebrate the sport and build a strong legacy through many impactful initiatives. We are pleased to welcome Kim to join us at what is sure to be a very exciting WTA Finals in Singapore."
Reigning WTA Finals champion Dominika Cibulkova recounted her finals experience, "I really enjoyed my first time in Singapore - the event experience was first class, the atmosphere on court with all the show lights was electrifying, and most importantly it was a monumental win for me that left me wanting more and dreaming bigger. I definitely hope to make it back to Singapore this year."
The 2017 Road to Singapore began in January and the season's first quarter has progressed with a mix of players climbing and breaking into the top 8 on the leaderboard, demonstrating the strength and depth of the WTA player field.
Melissa Pine, Tournament Director of the WTA Finals and Vice President of WTA Asia Pacific said, "We have seen some strong performances in the first quarter from young players like Karolina Pliskova and Johanna Konta, doubles players like Kristina Mladenovic and Elena Vesnina achieving breakthrough in the singles and legendary performances from the Williams sisters. The WTA Finals field last year brought fans eight days of exhilarating tennis and sporting excellence and I am looking forward to even more thrilling action at the Singapore Indoor Stadium this October."
Tickets for the WTA Finals 2017 start at just S$27*. All tickets, including single sessions, packages and hospitality tickets are available for purchase via WTAFinals.com from 26 April. The All Singles Evening Pass, launched for the first time last year, returns this year to give fans an opportunity to watch all eight players on court over two consecutive days. Groups of 10 or more will also receive further discounts of up to 10% or more.
Apart from watching the matches, fans and ticket holders this year can also look forward to more perks throughout the WTA Finals qualification season, as there will be opportunities to win special, money-can't-buy experiences. In addition to meet and greet sessions as well as access to clinics and private practice session viewings, ticket buyers this year even stand a chance to win a trip to catch some exciting grass court action at the Aegon International Eastbourne in England and attend the WTA Pre-Wimbledon Party to build up their excitement in the lead up to the WTA Finals.
Sarah Clements, Vice-President of Tennis, Asia, at Lagardère Sports said, "Singapore is hosting our fourth tournament, and we aim to raise the level of fan engagement and experience even higher. With initiatives and opportunities to win exclusive experiences for ticket buyers, fans are going to enjoy the year-long Road to Singapore even more."
Follow the Action
The WTAFinals.com is a one-stop centre for fans to get tickets, win opportunities to enhance your event experience and learn about all things tournament-related, from the rules of the game, to inside scoops, as well as the latest from leading players as they journey on the qualification route to Singapore.

What is a pix2print photobook?
A pix2print photobook is just like a photobook you see in the shops, but now you can create a very personal one with your own photos, text and images. The pix2print software is easy to use and gives you lots of options to design the photobook the way you want.
What sizes photobooks do you have?
You can make pix2print photobooks in the following sizes:
20 x 20cm (8 x 8") - also available with a soft cover
30 x 30cm (12 x 12")
A4 landscape - 30 x 21cm (12 x 8")
A4 portrait - 21 x 30cm (8 x 12")
DELUXE landscape - 33 x 26cm (13 x 10")
What paper do you use for my photobook?
We use premium quality 170gsm coated silk paper for all our photobooks. Our paper is an environmentally responsible paper produced from FSC certified pulp from Well Managed Forests, is Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) and is made Carbon Neutral. (FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not for profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world's forests)
How many pages can I have in a photobook?
That depends on the size photobook you create. Photobooks start at 30 pages (15 sheets of paper) and can have 48 (20x20cm), 90 (A4 portrait) or 120 pages (30x30cm, 33x26cm and A4 landscape). The 20x20cm soft cover photobook however starts at 20 pages and has a maximum of 48.
Can I add pages if I want to add more photos?
The pix2print software allows you to add pages to your photobook at any time up to the maximum number of pages for each book. You can even move pages into a different order. Photobooks start at 30 pages (15 sheets of paper) and can have 48 (20x20cm), 90 (A4 portrait) or 120 pages (30x30cm, 33x26cm and A4 landscape).
Why don't you have end pages?
End pages (the blank pages at the beginning and end of a book) are not necessary for the strength of photobooks with steel spines, so when you open your photobook you will immediately see the first page you created.
Why is a steel spine better than other spines?
Spines made of cardboard have a higher chance to become damaged then steel spines, that's why at pix2print we find it important to create each hard cover photobook with a steel spine for better protection.
What is a pix2print calendar?
A pix2print calendar is just like a calendar you see in the shops, but now you can create one with your own photos. The pix2print software is easy to use and gives you lots of options to design the calendar the way you want. You can even add birthdays of loved ones and special events to your calendar to make it even more personal.
What paper do you use for my calendar?
We use premium quality 200gsm gloss sumo laser paper for all our photobooks. Our paper is an environmentally responsible paper produced from FSC certified pulp from Well Managed Forests, is Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) and is made Carbon Neutral. (FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not for profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world's forests)
What sizes calendars do you have?
You can make pix2print calendars in the following sizes:
A4 landscape - 30 x 21cm (12 x 8")
A3 portrait - 30 x 42cm (12 x 17")
Calendars are printed on one side only to ensure the highest quality.
What value can I put on a gift voucher?
Gift vouchers are available in lots of values to suit all budgets and occasions: $5, $10, $15, $20, $30, $40, $50, $100 and $200.
How do I get a FREE gift voucher?
You can earn free vouchers at pix2print! To earn your free vouchers, make sure you use the same email address when ordering a gift voucher so we know when you bought your 10th voucher. We will calculate the total value of vouchers you sold and will give you a free voucher for 10% of that total value.
You can earn an unlimited amount of vouchers, buy vouchers as presents or buy any number of vouchers and sell them to friends or colleagues at work.
For example if you sell 10 vouchers of $50 you receive a FREE $50 voucher.
How do I order a gift voucher?
You can order your gift voucher online here.
Can I add a name to the gift voucher?
The gift voucher is a pdf file with a unique code which will be emailed to you as soon as you order one online. You can add their name to the voucher when ordering (or leave it blank so you have a gift handy for anybody when you need it as you can write the name on the printout afterwards).
Print the voucher and give it to the lucky person.
What size photos can I use?
You can use any photo with a resolution high enough for the size photo you are trying to add to your photobook or calendar. Photos with a better resolution will allow you to create page filling photos even in the large photobooks, but even photos with a smaller resolution can often still be used in the photobooks or calendars - you just have to adjust the size of the photo frame until any warnings about photo resolution are solved.
What types of files can I use?
Can I use photos from a USB or memory stick?
Yes you can, but it is best to save all photos and images used onto the hard drive from the computer you are using.
Can I use photos from Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, or any other online photo sharing service?
Yes, you can use photos from any online photo sharing website provided you own the copyright for the photo or have permission to use the image from the person holding the copyrights.
Be aware that some images stored online are small and might not be suitable to use in large photobooks as page filling photos. The pix2print software will warn you when the photo quality is not good enough for the size photo you are trying to place in the photobook. You can adjust the size of a frame to fix this problem or select a photo with a better quality.
Make sure you use the highest quality (resolution) setting for taking photos on your digital camera. For example use FINE or SUPER FINE.
Can I use images or scans in my photobook or calendar as well as photos?
Yes, you can.
I don't have a scanner, how can I use my old photos?
Even if you don't have a scanner at home you could take a photo of any image you want to add into your photobook. Think of for example entry tickets or maps used during your holiday.
How many photos do I need?
There is no minimum number of photos needed to create a photobook or calendar although most people will use 13 images for a calendar (one for the front and one for each month) and at least 30 photos for a photobook (one photo on each page).
However, if you want to create a photobook with a photo on one page and text on the other page you need less photos. Pix2print allows you complete freedom in the way you want to design your photobook or calendar.
How many photos can I use on one page?
You can use as many photos as you can fit on a page. Some page styles have many picture boxes.
Does the first page print on the right hand side or the left hand side of the photobook?
The first page inside your photobook will print on the right hand side. So the first page spread (2 pages on opposite sides of the spine) you fill with photos can be found on page 2 and 3.
Can I add text?
Yes, you can add text on every page, the cover and the back. You can even add text on the spine of any hard cover photobook.
I started a small photobook, but I now want a larger photobook, can I change the size?
You will have to start a new project to change the size of your photobook.
Do I have to finish everything in one session or can I save my photobook or calendar?
You can save your project (photobook or calendar) at any time and continue at a later date. In fact, we recommend you save your work regularly to avoid losing any work.
How do I install the software?
Go to the download page and follow the steps. Make sure you select the correct version (Mac or Windows). See the How to... section for step-by-step instructions on how to install the software.
How big is the file I need to download?
The file is approximately 125Mb.
Can I use photos from somebody else?
You can only use photos, images, text or anything else that you own the copyright for or have permission to use.
What setting do I need to use on my camera?
Make sure you use the highest quality (resolution) setting for taking photos on your digital camera. For example use FINE or SUPER FINE.
What are project files?
Project files are the files the pix2print software stores on your computer when you are making a photobook or calendar. They contain all the necessary information to print your project once you are finished and submit your order.
How can I find my project files?

I hope you are having a great weekend!
On Instagram I created a few manis using the AT plates and have gotten questions on what's the brand and where to find them.
First let me show you the plates:
I purchased these plates a year ago on aliexpress. I checked my order history on my account and this is the seller who sold them to me: click here , but on Aliexpress there are many sellers, therefore I advise you to search and read all the feedback before buying. :)
I didn't have any problems with my plates they stamp beautifully. I did get a slight damage on plate AT-01, but luckily it doesn't effect the image.
Here are some manis I created with them:
Colors used:
1. I painted all my nails China Glaze So Blue Without you as my base color.
2. I applied the glitter, China Glaze Bells Will Be Blinging,
3. I used stamping plates AT-03, AT-05, AT-09
4. Stamping polishes: Sally Hansen Silver Sweep & konad White.
5. China Glaze There's Snow One Like You for the snow.
Colors used:
1. I applied Zoya Raven.
2. Used stamping plates AT-03, AT-05, AT-06, AT-07, AT-09
3. Stamping colors: Essie Good As Gold, Color Club Harp on It, Konad White, China Glaze Santa Red my List & Zoya Ray.
Here is idea of the size of the plates using a ruler in inches:
I hope you enjoyed my post on the AT- stamping plates. What do you think of them? Would you purchase them? Let me know in the comment section below.
Hasta Luego!!

Flight MH370, Malaysian Air Papers Petitions Rejected by Illinois Court
A Chicago law firm's twin bids for court orders forcing Boeing Co. and Malaysian Airline Systems Bhd. (MAS) to turn over data and documents about missing Flight 370 for a possible lawsuit was thrown out by a judge who threatened to punish the lawyers if they tried such a tactic again.
Malaysian Air Flight 370, a Boeing 777-200ER airliner with 239 people aboard, disappeared on March 8 after taking off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing. The search for the missing plane, now focused on the southern Indian Ocean, is in its fourth week.
Cook County Circuit Judge Kathy M. Flanagan threw out the first of two petitions filed by Ribbeck Law Chartered on March 28 and the second one yesterday.
"Commencing today the court will impose sanctions on the law firm if there are any other unfounded filings," Flanagan said in yesterday's ruling.
While seeking information about an accident before filing a lawsuit is allowed in Illinois courts when those who may be at fault aren't known, the procedure isn't otherwise permitted, Flanagan said. The rules allow such discovery "for the sole purpose of ascertaining the identity of one who may be liable in damages," she said.
The Ribbeck firm, the judge said, already knew that because she threw out two-such filings last year, one of them after an Asiana Airlines Inc. jet crashed upon landing at San Francisco International Airport.
'Improperly Brought''
"All of those petitions were assigned to this court," Flanagan said, adding that on each occasion she dismissed them as "having been improperly brought."
Monica R. Kelly, a Ribbeck Law partner, said in an e-mail she will appeal the judge's ruling.
"I want to tell you how much damage this does to all of us who like to think of ourselves as experienced firms," said Gerald Sterns, an Oakland, California, lawyer for air crash victims. "This totally undermines the confidence that families might otherwise have in us."
The Chicago-based Ribbeck firm in a statement last week called itself the "largest aviation firm in the world." It has represented clients from 35 countries before U.S. courts, according to its website.
Its first Malaysian Air Flight 370-related petition was filed March 25 in the name of Januari Siregar, who the lawyers said was the father of Firman Chandra Siregar, one of the passengers aboard Flight 370,
Crew Member
Januari Siregar later told Bloomberg News he was the missing man's uncle. The later petition was filed March 28 for Lee Khim Fatt, who was identified as the husband of flight crew member Foong Wai Yueng.
Kelly said in an e-mail earlier yesterday that if the petitions were unsuccessful, the firm would move ahead with a lawsuit, as it did after the July 6 Asiana crash.
"For us it really has no effect," Kelly said. "We will of course wait until the wreckage or debris has been identified before we file the complaint."
The cases are Siregar v. Boeing Co., 14-L-3408, and Fatt v. The Boeing Co., 14-L-3555, Cook County, Illinois, Circuit Court, Law Division (Chicago).

A lot of animals get noticed at the Animal Kingdom. The gorillas. The bats. The rhinos and so on.
Me, I love the flamboyance of flamingos right at the base of the Tree of Life. What is not to love, pink birds!
Have you ever stopped to check them out? If you haven't and you are over at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, look for them there as well, they have their own flamboyance.

This is a nice surprise. Rated 5.0 and an "Album Pick" at All Music Guide. This came out in 1989 just as New Age music was coming into it's own. The sound is very crisp and rest full, no need to play with the volume control on this cd. The only drawback I can find is the booklet, could have had put more info about the artist & recording in the booklet.
53 Minutes of great New Age music!! David

CD Reviews
A Bloke | London, England | 03/04/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I first heard a tape of this album in 1995 when a friend put it on my stereo one day. It's a little bit jazzy, very original, definitely upbeat. This album is all about rainbows and sunshine. The danger of this is that it can sometimes get too close to cliche and whimsy, but Becvar has managed to keep the stream of sounds in good order. I am a great fan of Acoustic guitar music, and this type of album certainly has a place in my collection. Not as melancholy or reflective as someone like William Ackerman, nor as quirky as Hedges or Adrian Legg. It is an album full of child-like adventure, if you can allow yourself to visit a place like that within yourself, I suggest you take it for a spin."

New sporting goods store Advantage Sports will open in ex-Big George's space on W. Stadium
A new sporting goods store will open in the former Big George's space located at 2019 W. Stadium in Ann Arbor.
Called Advantage Sports, the new business will sell higher end sporting goods, equipment and apparel for athletes in the Ann Arbor area.
"My brother and I have kids who play travel sports, and we were talking about how we have to go all the way out to Brighton or Livonia to get gear for them," explains Scott Schmunk, a real estate attorney who is opening the store with his brother Jamie Schmunk and friend Mike Charles, who previously had a business repping sporting goods to local teams.
They found the 13,000-square-foot store to lease and are pushing to open by the first of December, depending on construction.
In addition to a retail section, the business is renovating a space where customers can try out merchandise and coaches and vendors can hold clinics and demonstrations.
This 6,500-square-foot space will include batting cages, a synthetic ice surface and a turfed area "where people can go out with lacrosse stick and fire off a couple balls or try out a pair of soccer shoes," says Schmunk.
Carrie Keil, a skating instructor for USA Hockey, will be subletting a portion of the space and installing a treadmill to conduct personal hockey training instruction.
Laura Blodgett | for AnnArbor.com
The store will specialize in team sports, including baseball, softball, soccer, football, lacrosse and, of course, hockey. They will carry top-of-the-line equipment from brands including Wilson, DeMarini, Mizuno and Adidas.
"If high schools have the sport, we'll do it," says Schmunk. The group plans to start talking to schools and team organizations in the area about handling their team apparel and merchandise orders.
"One of the things my brother and I really wanted was something like the old Stein and Goetz on Main Street that we grew up with. That's where everyone went for all their sporting gear."
Schmunk says there's nothing like that in Ann Arbor now, only the big box stores which carry everything including fishing and camping equipment. Schmunk says they want to be more geared toward the people who live in Ann Arbor.
"We want to make it local and be community based. We want to get involved and partner with the schools and local organizations."
Schmunk plans to work in the store full time as well as hire a few part time local kids. "If things go well, we hope to add more people full time."

The store will be a welcome addition to Ann Arbor! Please don't forget about Field Hockey. Local resources are very limited.

This is long overdue and my family will definitely be there with cash in hand as soon as they open. I got my first baseball glove and my first good hockey skates from the Hirth's on main street. Hopefully they can be a demon site for baseball and softball bats. I hate spending a lot of money on bats w/o a tryout and sizing session.

What a great addition to Ann Arbor! I actually got my first pair of cleats from the old Barnes' Ace store that used to be next door. Eric's downtown has been gone for ages, too, so it will be great having a local shop around again!

Awesome idea. Can't wait to go and check it out when it opens up.

We all know how frustrating it is waiting for a print job, even more so when it's only a few pages. That's why Epson created the WorkForce Pro WP-4025 DW network-ready, double-sided printer with WiFi. Designed to suit the modern office, both inside and out, this is the ultimate professional tool.
Faster printing: It offers a 50% lower cost per page and faster printing for those small print jobs, compared to the top 10 best-selling colour lasers. And when printing double-sided it's twice as fast as the nearest leading competitor.
Economical and Ecological: It offers a massive 80% reduction on energy consumption compared to competitive lasers – providing significant cost and environmental savings. Ink cartridges are clean and easy to change and the cartridge is the only part that needs replacing, so the process is hassle-free.
Engineered for Business: A high print resolution of up to 4800×1200dpi means businesses get top-quality prints which are water, smudge, highlighter and fade resistant because they are instantly dry. And the paper capacity of 330 sheets as standard means you won't need to spend valuable time looking after it. Its high-yield, superior quality DURABrite Ultra ink cartridges are low maintenance and offer low-cost printing, producing 2,400 pages or higher, if needed.
Easy to integrate: Network-ready for sharing across workgroups, it comes with USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity for greater flexibility.
Print on the move: It comes with Epson Connect to meet all mobile printing needs, enabling users to print from smartphones and tablet PCs.

Secure payment processing with tokenization
In order to reach PCI Compliance, when a business processes payments, sensitive data must be encrypted. Sensitive data includes credit card numbers or ACH account numbers as well as AVV and CVV2 information. In order for a business to handle this data in a secure way, either an end-to-end encryption system must be installed or payment processing can be outsourced to a service provider that tokenizes sensitive data externally.
What is tokenization?
Token technology takes a credit card number, for example, and replaces the 16 digit card number with a custom token. The token mirrors the format of the original data, but is non-descriptive. Tokenization requires the use of a gateway, which is where the sensitive data is stored.
When a customer submits a payment via a business' website, the sensitive data entered into the payment fields is encrypted by k-eCommerce Credit Card Extension using 128-bit encryption. It is then sent to a gateway so that a token can be generated. The payment process then proceeds as usual. Once all necessary information has been received and the payment has been applied, all that is stored on a business' database is a token and a separate masked credit card number that contains the last four digits of the card that looks like this:
The stars do not represent anything. This means the full 16 digit credit card number is not stored on a business' network, which reduces liability greatly. For future transactions, the token and the separate masked credit card number with the last four digits are stored in a business' ERP can be easily accessed and verified.
Tokens are not mathematically reversible. Because the unique placeholders are unrelated, the stored payment data is meaningless.
For more information about how a payment is processed, click here.
What is encryption?
Encryption has been around for years. When it comes to payment processing, encryption, different than tokenization, takes the sensitive data and transforms it using a mathematical equation. The end result is 12 encrypted digits with the last 4 original digits of a credit card. The encrypted code is composed of letters and numbers that will be stored on an internal database, such as a business' ERP. To return the data to its original form, the mathematical equation is reversed and the credit card can be used again for a transaction.
Which method is best?
When it comes to processing payments securely, token technology is superior. A token can be stored in tables and when a transaction needs to be processed, since the token includes the last four digits of the credit card, it can be easily verified. Once the payment process has finished, that token can again reside in a database securely. This alleviates a business' liability and further, since tokens are composed of unrelated data, they are meaningless. Tokenization also makes obtaining PCI Compliance much easier as it eliminates nearly half of the security requirements that are part of the PCI audit.
Encrypted data is less secure as it is reversible, whereas a token is not. Also, because encrypted data is stored internally, should fraud occur, a business is liable.

I would argue about pocket presence. We've seen a few times last year where he didn't feel the pressure early enough and was stripped of the ball. Bradford can definitely get the ball out quicker though which I really like.PurpleMustReign wrote: I agree Bradford has a strong arm. However he has more confident of a pocket presence than Teddy ever will and he can extend plays although not as well as Teddy.

Doesn't really matter though. Until Teddy is 100% (if ever), Bradford is the Vikings QB. I just think some people forget how effective TB was in 2015. Remember the playoffs? How bad the conditions were? He drove his team to the 9 yard line with seconds left in the game. I think that last drive defines how the team sees Teddy.
For me, it's not about the arm, or how pretty the deep ball is, or the stats. It's about getting the job done when it matters. I think more often than not, Teddy did that. I hope Bradford can do the same.

Asian stock markets were mostly higher on Wednesday as investors regained risk appetite despite the absence of a fresh lead from Wall Street. Regional markets seem on course to end October on a positive note.
The FTSE CNBC Asia 100 Index, which measures markets across Asia, edged up 0.4 percent.
Japan's Nikkei share average advanced as investors took comfort that some firms, such as Hitachi and Komatsu, did not cut their full-year earnings guidance as feared.
The Nikkei closed up 1 percent to 8,928.29, and was up 0.7 percent this month, its third straight monthly gain. The broader Topix index climbed 1.2 percent to 742.33.
Hitachi climbed 3.4 percent, hitting a one-week high, as the electrical machinery maker retained its full-year earnings outlook after its first-half results, allaying investors fears of a cut in outlook.
Komatsu advanced 3.6 percent after the construction machinery maker maintained its full-year earnings guidance, easing concerns it would cut its outlook when it reported first-half results after the market close on Tuesday.
Brewer Asahi Group Holdings fell 1.8 percent to a 2-1/2-month low, on concerns that the company may fall short of its full-year operating profit forecast after it reported its results for the nine months ended September.
Fuji Heavy Industries jumped 6.8 percent to 768 yen, an 11-year high, after the carmaker raised its operating profit forecast for the year ending March 2013 by 22.4 percent to 82 billion yen, citing improving margins.
Ricoh fell 5.1 percent to a one-month low and falling for a seventh straight session after the office equipment maker's first half sales and operating profit came in below its own forecast.
Mainland Chinese shares edged higher, buoyed by earnings-driven strength in the banking and retail sectors that helped benchmark indices trim October losses.

PetroChina shed 2 percent after the Chinese oil giant saw third-quarter profit tumble 33 percent, a bigger drop than expected.
Offshore Chinese plays have outperformed onshore peers for five straight months. The Hang Seng Index A/H premium index has been under 100 for almost two weeks, suggesting the premium that onshore shares trade over their offshore peers is now wiped out. It closed at its lowest since June 2011 on Thursday.
South Korean shares rose for the third straight session, lifted by solid economic data and taking a cue from higher European equities.

It is the end of the road for an alleged child trafficking syndicate in Imo State.
The Police in the state have arrested three suspected members of the group comprising two women and a man described as the syndicate's driver.
They were arrested in Owerri by the Ambush Squad set up recently by the state Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Musa Katsina.Found with them were with two babies.
The suspects were caught at the State House of Assembly junction on the Owerri-Port Harcourt Road while attempting to escape to Lagos with the two new born babies whose umbilical cords were still dripping with blood.
The police paraded the suspects whose names were given as Mrs. Patience Aigbangbe ( 55) from Oredo, Azagba in Edo State; Mrs. Felicia Edegbe (59) from Ihude, Egorebo village in Edo State and the driver Jacob Ademuyiwa (41) from Ado Ekiti in Ekiti State.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP, Joy Elomoko said the women who reside at No.14 Densan, Ikorodu, Lagos State had left their base on March 27, 2013 for Port Harcourt where they allegedly stole the two babies 72 hours after their delivery.
One of the suspects, Felicia Edegbe described Patience Aibangbe as the ring leader who introduced her to the illegal business.
She said at the time they left Lagos for Port Harcourt she did not know what it was all about until Patience called the driver for the commencement of the ill-fated journey.
The driver, Jacob Ademuyiwa, said he is only a private transporter and that he was hired by the women to take them to Lagos at the cost of N30, 000.00.
He said he was not aware of their illegal business and was not part of the deal but was only contracted to take them to Lagos.

Rides a Dread Legion
This book for me was one of those books I just couldn't put down. Right from the beginning, I was immersed in this world that featured sorcery, battles, and a prophecy that haunts the main character. For anyone interested in getting into the fantasy genre, or if you are already a long time fan, this book will not disappoint.
Publisher's Summary: When representatives from the besieged world of Laromendis arrive, claiming that Midkemia is the lost home world of the elves, the magician Pug and the Conclave of Shadows receive the elves as potential allies in the hopes of conquering a demonic common enemy.

Luis Toledo - Trial/Jury Selection - St. Augustine, FL
Updated: Oct 2, 2017 - 8:59 PM
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Jury selection began Monday morning in the murder trial of a 35-year-old Deltona man who is accused of killing his wife and her two children.
Luis Toledo's case is being tried in St. Augustine because of the publicity it has received. Some jury candidates told the judge Thursday that they had heard of the trial.
Toledo's wife, Yessenia Suarez, 28, and her children, Thalia Otto, 9, and Michael Otto, 8, disappeared from their Deltona home in October 2013. They have not been found.
Investigators said Toledo confessed to killing Suarez but denied killing her children.
Attorneys for Toledo were opposed to deputies wearing tactical gear in the courtroom because they were concerned it might make Toledo seem dangerous to potential jurors. The deputies changed into regular uniforms.
The judge told potential jurors that he would question them about their views about the death penalty and law enforcement officers.
A juror who said he is a felon was immediately dismissed.
The jury selection process is expected to last several days. The judge told jurors that the trial could take a month.

guess who's home...!
'bout time. her blood count is stable so far. to keep it there and help it improve, i get to feed her three different medicines every day. the liquid's gonna be the best. ever try to force an eyedropper full of goop down a fully-clawed cat's throat? one of the few exquisite pleasures of life. to add insult to injury, i opened up the bottle...and the dropper shaft was broken clean off. not only that, i can't see nor hear the broken piece when i shake the bottle. it's as if it was always broken. very weird. i just scuttled off to walgreens and got a dropper with markings on it. thanks for the suggestion, scott. otherwise i probably would still be trying to figure out how much a tenth of a teaspoon is and measuring the 0.5 mL dose that way.
my kitten.. how i missed her. i hope she'll be swatting at my cables and shoestrings in no time.

Disjointed Ramblings for a Sunday Morning
I had another one of those dreams last night. The sky was on fire, the air filled with the sound of humanity exploding.
I've been having dreams like this - at least once a week - since childhood, so they aren't necessarily brought on by current news and events. However, they are certain aspects to each of the dreams that incorporate current stories. For instance, in last night's dream, I could see the world from high above. You know those Bugs Bunny cartoons where they show Bugs traveling across the United States by using dashes across a map? That's how the dream was, like I was looking down at a map, I could see different states and then countries just disappear into a whirlwind of dust and fire. Over in Europe, there was a wall that stretched from one end to the other. A high, stony wall that was covered with foliage in some place, not unlike the walls in this dream. A disembodied voice said to me, pointing at the wall, that side is for Jews, the other isn't.
So the first thing I see when I check the news this morning is an explosion in Tel Aviv. A bomb on a bus, of course. And then there's this lovely story (via LGF) about a young mother traveling with her baby in France and being attacked by anti-Semites.
I'm feeling discouraged today. Hell, I feel discouraged a lot these days, but today I'm really feeling it and I don't know if it's just residue from the dream or a general malaise that's starting to crawl its way through my mind and into my heart.
The whole world is making a giant sucking sound right now. From Sudan to Iran, from the Gaza Strip to France, from New York to California, it's flush city. You'd need a plunger the size of a small planet to stop this sucker from overflowing.
For some reason this all leads me to thinking about Alan Moore's Watchmen.
The world of Moore's classic comic in some ways mirrors the world of my dreams, which reflect our current world; dark, scary, poised on the brink of disaster. There's an inherent distrust at work when you read the series. A character like Ozymandias seems so underhanded, yet his ways prove to be the path to peace.
Watchmen is basically the story of superheros trying to save the world from itself. It begins like this:
"The streets are extended gutters, and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"… and I'll look down, and whisper "no."
Are we worth saving at this point? If superheros existed, would they even bother at this point in history? And what would we expect of superheros if they were real?
In Watchmen, Rorschach says: Not even in the face of Armageddon. Never compromise.
Easier said than done. I think our basic instinct is to compromise. We have to dig a little deeper into our hearts and souls to stand as one with our ideals. Sometimes it seems easy, even safe, to compromise, but safe isn't always right and safe doesn't always bring about the ending you desire. You may find yourself one day struggling to survive in a post-armageddon world and wishing that we didn't take the easy way out, that we said no to compromise. Compromising smells like weakness to your enemies.
We can leave it to our modern day human superheros to stand fast and true for us, as they are our own Watchmen. But, as the saying goes, who watches the Watchmen? And who watches those who do the watching? It's like looking into a mirror image, seeing the same thing over and over for miles; a question repeated ad infinitum only spurring more questions - or the same question - never an answer.
At some point, there has to be a place where we stop asking and start trusting. There really are no superheros. There are just humans fitted in costumes that we made for them and sporting powers that we gave them. Even if we strip them of those costumes and powers, we owe it to the world to see that someone else wears them. Someone who, in the face of armageddon, will say no.
Because I know some of you will mention it. I have heard about the proposed Watchmen movie. According to IMDB, Darren Aranofsky is attached, as they say. Though the most recent report I can find seem to indicate it's going to be another one of those on-again/off-again projects.
Personally, I think it needs to be a cable mini-series, as trying to cram the whole thing into a movie wouldn't work, and picking and choosing what to leave in and what to leave out would just turn the movie into another comic-to-film crapfest. However, let me be the millionth to cast Bruce Campbell as The Comedian.

One of the biggest questions raised by this study has been whether the smaller states and territories - with the smallest budgets - should be expected to achieve the same standard of data protection as their larger and richer counterparts.
Almost unanimously, infosec experts consulted by iTnews said yes.
One framed it thus: all governments have a police force or a health department, all police forces hold secret data on covert informants, all governments hold data that - if released - could put someone's life at risk.
Another asked how it would be conscionable to expect a citizen in a smaller state to put up with a lower standard of protection than their friends larger states?
These are all messages that agency heads in the Tasmanian government would do well to listen to carefully.
Earlier this year the state's auditor-general conducted an assessment of the cyber defences of four of Tasmania's biggest agencies against the ASD's top four cyber attack mitigation strategies.
But Secretary of the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment, John Whittington, decried the very premise of holding Tasmanian agencies up to the ASD top four - which he called "the gold standard" of cyber security.
He argued applying the standard would increase the cost of IT implementation and administration with little or no benefit compared to the risk. His comments were backed up by other agency chiefs.
Regardless, what the Tasmanian auditor found should worry everyone who lives in the apple isle, and relies on its water infrastructure, natural resources, police and hospitals on a daily basis
The review found Whittington's department located one of its server rooms in a makeshift, shoddily constructed building. Another was only protected by the same swipe card access as the rest of the building.
Firewalls were only activated in some areas of the organisation, and administrator privileges were handed out to staff on an ad-hoc basis.
With little to no self-reflection, the secretary told the auditor "we were informed that there had been no need for a specific incident recording and management system as there had been no security breaches in the last few years".
In the health department the audit team found 2000 live accounts for staff members who appeared to have left the agency a year or more ago. Police desktops sat inactive for a full hour before they were automatically set to lock.
In March, the Department of Premier and Cabinet told the audit team it was reviewing the state's out-of-date information security manual and expected to issue revised guidance in Q3 2015.
This has since been pushed back to sometime in the first half of 2016, according to a spokesperson.
Sadly, Tasmania is a case study in what happens when a government believes it is small enough to fall through the gaps.

With three big fights, on two separate broadcasts, boxing fans can look forward to a second consecutive weekend of high quality boxing. All three fights feature top ten talents. All three look competitive.
Even the Heavyweights.
Last weekend, one hoped to find a good fight among the big men. Hope was realized. This weekend, the fight looks good going in and, if it exceeds expectation, we are staring at a real potential gem.
Let's go to the report cards.
The Ledgers
Alexander Povetkin
Age: 32
Title: WBA Heavyweight (2011-Present, 1 Defense)
Previous Titles: None
Height: 6'2
Weight: 229 lbs.
Average Weight – Last Five Fights: 227.8 lbs.
Hails from: Chekhov, Russia
Record: 23-0, 16 KO
BoxingScene Rank: #2 at Heavyweight
Record in Major Title Fights: 2-0, 1 KO
Current/Former World Champions/Titlists Defeated: 2 (Chris Byrd, Ruslan Chagaev)
Marco Huck
Age: 27
Title: WBO Cruiserweight (2009-Present, 8 KO)
Previous Titles: None
Height: 6'1 ½
Weight: 209 lbs.
Average Weight – Last Five Fights: 198.35 lbs.
Hails from: Berlin, Germany
Record: 34-1, 25 KO, 1 KOBY
BoxingScene Rank: #2 at Cruiserweight
Record in Major Title Fights: 9-1, 5 KO, 1 KOBY
Current/Former World Champions/Titlists Defeated: 2 (Victor Ramirez, Hugo Garay)
Current/Former World Champions/Titlists Faced in Defeat: 1 (Steve Cunningham)
Pre-Fight: Speed – Povetkin B; Huck B+
Pre-Fight: Power – Povetkin B+; Huck B
Pre-Fight: Defense – Povetkin B; Huck B
Pre-Fight: Intangibles – Povetkin B; Huck B
This has all the makings of a good fight. Huck has been a consistent force at Cruiserweight and makes a strong start at Heavyweight in challenging a former Olympic Gold Medalist. Povetkin has been steady, beating down veteran Chris Byrd, overcoming an early lead against Eddie Chambers to win a decision, and pushing through strong against rugged Ruslan Chagaev. Huck offers a speed problem most akin to Chambers but with different technique and more pop. While giving up twenty pounds, Huck has the chance to stay a step ahead with quicker hands against a Povetkin who is both hittable and sometimes plodding. Huck has been stopped before, against a much lesser puncher than Povetkin, and that's where the big question lies. Huck isn't afraid to mix it up. Can he hang with Povetkin inside as the rounds wear on?
Epix will broadcast the answer.
HBO will present different questions, and answers, on Boxing After Dark.
Marcos Maidana
Age: 28
Title/Previous Titles: WBA Jr. Welterweight (2011-Present, 1 Defense)
Height: 5'9
Weight: 146.75
Average Weight – Last Five Fights: 139.5 lbs.
Hails from: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Record: 31-2, 28 KO
BoxingScene Rank: #4 at Jr. Welterweight
Record in Major Title Fights: 1-2, 2 KO (6-2, 4 KO including interim title fights)
Current/Former World Champions/Titlists Defeated: 3 (Victor Ortiz, DeMarcus Corley, Erik Morales)
Current/Former World Champions/Titlists Faced in Defeat: 2 (Andriy Kotelnik, Amir Khan)
Devon Alexander
Age: 25
Title: None
Previous Titles: WBC Jr. Welterweight (2009-2011, 2 Defenses); IBF Jr. Welterweight (2010, 1 Defense)
Height: 5'8
Weight: 146.5 lbs.
Average Weight – Last Five Fights: 139.2 lbs.
Hails from: St. Louis, Missouri
Record: 22-1, 13 KO
Bo xingScene Rank: #5 at Jr. Welterweight
Record in Major Title Fights: 3-1, 2 KO
Current/Former World Champions/Titlists Defeated: 4 (DeMarcus Corley, Junior Witter, Juan Urango, Andriy Kotelnik)
Current/Former World Champions/Titlists Faced in Defeat: 1 (Timothy Bradley)
Pre-Fight: Speed – Alexander A; Maidana B
Pre-Fight: Power – Alexander B; Maidana A
Pre-Fight: Defense – Alexander B+; Maidana C
Pre-Fight: Intangibles – Alexander B; Maidana A
This clash of former Jr. Welterweight beltholders, entering the Welterweight waters, has big questions for both. Can Maidana catch up to the slicker man with only ten rounds to play with? Can Alexander, who has struggled with accuracy is his last three fights, consistently find Maidana? The answer to that one seems obvious; Maidana isn't hard to find. That makes the follow-up question more important: what happens when Maidana keeps coming. Maidana is a tenacious, heavy-handed force that can wear at the wills of more skilled men. Andriy Kotelnik, who was unfortunate in a decision loss to Alexander, barely got by Maidana. Many thought the Argentine did enough to win. Amir Khan had to survive a vicious battle with more dynamic talent than Alexander. Where Alexander could benefit here is in his patient approach. He plays the game knowing he has to win rounds. Maidana plays against the concept.
Adrien Broner
Age: 22
Title/Previous Titles: WBO Jr. Lightweight (2011-Present, 1st Attempted Defense)
Height: 5'7
Weight: 130 lbs.
Average Weight – Last Five Fights: 131.2 lbs.
Hails from: Cincinnati, Ohio
Record: 22-0, 18 KO
BoxingScene Rank: #5 at Jr. Lightweight
Record in Major Title Fights: 1-0, 1 KO
Current/Former World Champions/Titlists Defeated: 1 (Daniel Ponce De Leon)
Eloy Perez
Age: 25
Title: 1st Title Opportunity
Height: 5'6
Weight: 130 lbs.
Average Weight – Last Five Fights: 130 lbs.
Hails from: Salinas, California
Record: 23-0-2, 7 KO
BoxingScene Rank: #9 at Jr. Lightweight
Current/Former World Champions/Titlists Defeated: 0
Pre-Fight: Speed – Broner A; Perez B
Pre-Fight: Power – Broner A; Perez B
Pre-Fight: Defense – Broner B+; Perez B
Pre-Fight: Intangibles – Broner B; Perez B+
Perez has scored some nice knockouts, in particular a bombing of veteran Daniel Jimenez. Power isn't his game though. He presses, lets his hands go, and remembers to work the body. Broner is slick, quick, and can pop. Where the fledgling Jr. Lightweight titlist gets in trouble is in sometimes resorting to pot-shotting instead of consistent offense. Against most of the men he's faced, their inferior quality meant it didn't matter. Perez is a step up from the likes of Jason Litzau and Vicente Rodriguez, possessing a volume and willingness to come forward that Daniel Ponce De Leon did in testing Broner last year. Conversely, Broner is a step up from everything Perez has seen as well. We really don't know who these fighters are yet. Both in their 20s, this is where we start to find out. Fights between young, hungry fighters have a way of turning into, well, fights. This could steal the show from Maidana-Alexander.
The Picks
At Heavyweight, there are those leaning towards Huck for the upset. Povetkin enters without trainer Teddy Atlas. Could turmoil be an issue? It might be, but is Huck good enough to make it count? While consistent at Cruiserweight, he hasn't beaten fighters as good as Byrd, Chambers, and Chagaev. A stoppage to Cunningham, in a long grueling battle, is a red flag. A narrow escape versus Denis Lebedev is as well. Povetkin promises to be a true physical threat and will be there, chipping away with a tough right hand and solid body attack, all night. It will be too much for Huck. The choice is Povetkin by stoppage sometime around the tenth.
At Welterweight, this is Alexander's make or break moment. In his last three fights, he's struggled to figure out who he is. Maidana makes everyone tell the truth on that question. Either Alexander wins this going away or he gets broken. I vote for the latter as he has to have doubt creeping in. He won't have the trouble finding Maidana he has had in previous fights. The problem will be when Maidana keeps coming. The pick here is for Maidana to overcome an early deficit in scoring to post a stoppage in the final round.
Finally, we come to the clash of the young tigers. If Perez were a bigger puncher, he'd be favored. He's not. Broner has a ton of talent and almost as much attitude. It's enough to stay a step ahead for most of the night with some really good action in spots after building an early lead. Look for Broner to post a unanimous decision win.
