Patience could also describe Clay's career at OU. The junior running back has been waiting for his turn on the depth chart.

"Brennan has always been positive and works hard in practice," Oklahoma running backs coach Cale Gundy said. "He's been here for three years and has been a situational player for us. He's understood his role and he understands maybe some of his weaknesses.

"It was great to see him come out and perform the way he did, especially when we needed him."

Clay carried the load when Damien Williams (three carries, 7 yards) was sidelined with an ankle injury. Coach Bob Stoops, earlier in the week, said Dominique Whaley would start if Williams couldn't play. Whaley didn't start and had one rush for 2 yards.

What is Whaley's situation?

"He's healthy. I don't know if it's a complete, full, 100 percent back like it was the first go-around," Gundy said. "He practices well. He never has any problems in practice or out here. He's just a little hesitant and I just kind of think it is what it is."

With the two backs ailing, Clay made the most of his fifth career start and first this season. He had 24 carries against the Cyclones, which was just six shy of his total for 2012 entering the Big 12 Conference contest.

"That's part of the game," Clay said about getting his shot to play. "There are great backs that come to this university. I was fortunate enough to be able to wait my turn.

"I came out after preparing all week. I knew I had to step up, and I was fortunate enough to be able to do something."

OU's Brennan Clay has career-high day rushing in starting role

After lagging for months at historic lows, Mitt Romney's personal popularity has advanced in the final weekend to its highest of the 2012 campaign, rivaling Barack Obama's. But Obama pushes back with greater enthusiasm among his supporters - and the race itself remains a tie.

Fifty-four percent of likely voters in the latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll express a favorable opinion of Obama overall, the most basic measure of a public figure's popularity. Yet 53 percent now see Romney favorably - a majority, remarkably, for the first time.

See PDF with full results and charts here.

It's a dramatic gain for Romney, who emerged from the Republican primaries as the least popular major party candidate in polling back to 1984 and remained there up to the debates. Just 40 percent saw him favorably as recently as late August, and it was essentially no better, 44 percent, after the party conventions.

The presidential debates clearly helped him: Sixty-two percent of likely voters describe Romney's performance in the debates as a factor in their vote, and those who do so are a broad 23 points more likely to see him favorably overall, 61 percent vs. 38 percent. Substantially fewer cite Obama's handling of the response to Hurricane Sandy as a factor in their vote, 49 percent.

While the gap in overall favorability has closed to naught, and the debates boosted Romney's personal popularity, Obama holds advantages in strength of support. Thirty-eight percent of likely voters see him "strongly" favorably, 8 percentage points more than say the same about Romney. "Strong" approval of the president's job performance, at 34 percent, ties its highest since 2009, and is nearly double its low in August 2011. And the share of Obama's backers who say they're "very" enthusiastic about him has reached its highest of the campaign, moving ahead of Romney's by a significant margin, 6 points, for the first time in two weeks.

Notably, with 69 percent of his supporters very enthusiastic, the president has regained the strength-of-support levels he achieved in the 2008 election, after running behind that pace earlier this fall. Romney's come even farther, more than doubling strong enthusiasm among his supporters since the spring, to 63 percent now, also numerically a new high.

THE RACE - These elements play out in a race that couldn't be closer: Obama and Romney receive 48 percent support apiece among likely voters in this survey, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates. By several standards their long-running deadlock has constituted the closest race in pre-election polling in decades.

As if it's needed, independents - potentially swing voters in national elections - provide a further exclamation point. They now also divide precisely evenly, 46-46 percent. That matches Obama's best to date among independents, and it's a new low in this group for Romney, who'd reached 58 percent support among independents just a week and a half ago.

One reason the bottom line has not been affected is that, as he's slipped among independents, Romney's bulked up among Republicans, with a new high of 97 percent support in his own party. If that holds Tuesday it'd surpass the in-party record in exit polls dating to 1976 - 93 percent for George W. Bush in 2004.

Romney Rises in Favorability; Obama's Pushback is Intensity

Flight Directed by Robert Zemeckis Starring: Denzel Washington, John Goodman, Kelly Reily B

we were in full flight from reality. Alcoholics Anonymous

Flight is a contrived film full of clichs about addiction, recovery and personal responsibility. However, a great performance by the ever-reliable Denzel Washington saves the picture from an otherwise disastrous fate.

Washington commands the screen with his convincing portrayal of Whip Whitakeran alcoholic airline pilot who, despite not being able to care for himself, is routinely responsible for the lives of hundreds of others in Robert Zemeckiss first live action film since 2000s Cast Away.

The first time we see Whip Whitaker he is lying face down in the bed of an Orlando hotel room. A naked woman repeatedly walks through the frame as Whitaker scrambles to answer his cellphone. While talking to his ex-wife about his sons tuition, Whitaker picks up what to anyone other than an alcoholic would call an empty beer and sucks the last few remaining drops from the bottle.

Whitaker ends the call and struggles to the nightstand where a strategically placed line of cocaine waits. He rolls up a hundred-dollar bill and hurriedly snorts the numbing white powder. The next shot cuts to a fully functioning Whitaker, pristinely adorned in his pilots uniform, exiting the same hotel room rather triumphantly. The undertones of insecurity, which had only moments ago bettered him, have disappearedhes all confidence now. Washington skillfully moves between Whitakers vulnerability and his aired self-assurance throughout.

After boarding an aircraft that will transport 102 souls to Atlanta, Whitaker is introduced to his co-pilot, Ken (Brian Geraghty, The Hurt Locker). Whitaker takes a hit of oxygen before blasting off into a thunderstorm, perhaps a little bit faster than he should. Once in the clear, Whitaker downs a cocktail and passes out, allowing Ken to fly the remainder of the trip.

But suddenly, everything goes wrong; Whitaker is jolted out his slumber and finds that the aircraft is plummeting toward Earth. Whitaker assures his crew that hes in control while attempting to pull out of the nosedive by inverting the aircraft. The bizarre technique proves successful, and what would have otherwise been total devastation results in only six fatalities.

Here, the film takes an ugly turn toward the conventional by repeatedly suggesting that only faith can lead to redemption: the plane crashes into the back yard of a church, the co-pilot is a fanatical Christian (insert God is my co-pilot joke here), and a cancer patient lectures in a hospital stairwell about the importance of surrendering to Gods will. Flight screenwriter John Gatins (Real Steel) admittedly has a personal history with alcoholism and claims to have written the screenplay after five years of sobriety.

Film Review: Denzel Washington’s powerful performance saves “Flight” from cliché

ONE major lesson I learnt from implementing quality systems in the industrial world over the years is the mantra that what gets measured gets done. It is a mantra that can effectively be translated to personal finance.

We are now in November and ten months of 2012 have rolled by quite quickly. If you had specific financial metrics you have been following in 2012, then it is easy to assess your personal financial performance. Financial goals and targets demand action and performance.

For many people, the default position as human beings is generally the wheelbarrow position. If we do not purposefully push ourselves, we dont always get performance. That is why we harped on about having smart goals at the beginning of the year.

One way of accounting for income and expenditures is to have personal financial statements such as cash-flow or the personal balance sheet which provide you with an indication of your financial condition and can help with budget planning. A personal cash flow statement measures your cash inflows and outflows in order to show you your net cash flow for a specific period of time. It can also include money received from the sale of assets like houses, cars or even cattle.

Your net cash-flow position is the result you get by subtracting your outflow from your inflow. A positive net cash flow means that you earned more than you spent and that you have some money left over for the given period. A negative net cash flow position shows that you are living beyond your means. A personal balance sheet provides an overall snapshot of your wealth at a specific period in time. It is a summary of your assets (what you own), your liabilities (what you owe) and your net worth (assets minus liabilities).

If you wrote down your personal balance sheet at the beginning of the year this is the time to determine whether it has improved over 2012. If there is no measurement it is possible to blissfully go for five years without any increase in your net worth position. If there has been no change or even a negative change then it is time for introspection. Take personal responsibility for the situation and re-strategise for the future. The economic environment, work situation, fall stock markets are real factors but ultimately only you are responsible for those figures by responding appropriately to mitigate these factors.

Assets can be liquid assets that are those that can easily be converted into cash without losing value. Physical assets include houses, cars, boats, artwork and furniture. Liabilities are what you owe and include current bills, payments still owed on some assets like cars and houses, credit card balances and other loans. Your net worth is your measure of wealth because as it represents what you own after everything you owe has been paid off. It is then the difference between what you own and what you owe. To increase this net worth delta, you can increase your assets or decrease your liabilities.

Every year we purpose to have a positive defined delta through our annual financial goals. The only time it can be acceptable to have a negative delta is if we are investing in our own education. Ultimately it will reward you in the future to expand your knowledge base. For the majority of us who are not super innovators or have ground breaking entrepreneurial ideas like Econet, the increase in our net worth can only be incremental one delta a year. It is always important to plan for that delta.

Personal financial statements give you the tools to monitor your spending and increase your net worth. Your net cash flow from the cash flow statement can actually help you in your quest to increase net worth. If you have a positive net cash flow in a given period, you can apply that money to acquiring assets or paying off liabilities. Companies do the same thing. CEOs are reward by shareholders in relation to the degree they improve the bottom line, and the metrics used are very clear.

Compound interest should be a close partner working with you on your financial journey. Compound interest does not require vast amounts but it works better if we are consistent over a long period of time. Compound interest is effectively earning interest on interest on interest. Once you have put your savings aside, whatever the amount, you do not have to do anything, but watch your money increase. However it means the interest you earn must be more than inflation, for it not to eat into the value of the money youre saving. It is not the size of the delta increase that is important but a consistent set of deltas that are added continually. It is only then that the wonders of compounding will work for you. Make financial increase a part of your life style.

How to cope with changes both in business and at home - Professional Change Coach, Angela Smyth - Video

By Meena Krishnamsetty - November 2, 2012 | Tickers: CE, DD, EMN, FMC, DOW | 0 Comments

Eastman Chemical (NYSE: EMN) was up over 12% last week as earnings beat expectations. The company posted EPS of $1.57, while consensus estimates were at $1.42 a share. The chemical industry should see positive demand in the future as global growth is expected to rise 2.6% in 2013, up from a projected growth of 2.4% in 2012.

With a beta of 2.0, the company will definitely be able to capitalize on a global economic recovery. Eastman has shown positive performance thanks to a major acquisition and low raw material costs. Management now expectsto earn $5.30-$5.40 per share for 2012, which is ahead of the consensus of $5.26 a share. Heres a look at the hedge fund industrys sentiment toward Eastman.

Eastman competes with the top two chemical companies in the U.S.Dow Chemical (NYSE: DOW) is the largest American chemical company, and E I Du Pont De Nemours (NYSE: DD) is the second largest U.S. chemicals manufacturer. Also worth noting is that both of these top chemical companies pay dividends that yield in excess of 4%.

Unlike Eastman, Dow Chemical saw lower than expected earnings estimates and lowered its full year guidance. Last quarter, the company posted EPS of $0.42, versus $0.62 in the same quarter a year ago. The company did manage to see improvements in its agricultural and performance plastics segments. Also, the company plans to undertake various cost cutting initiatives to sustain earnings, should a weak global economy continue. Among these include the recently announced closure of twenty manufacturing facilities and the cutting of 2,400 jobs.

DuPont also announced lower than expected earnings for last quarter and a reduced full year EPS outlook, which dragged the stock down 10% over the past week. The company posted EPS of $0.44, compared to $0.69 for the prior year. DuPont attributed the decline to volume decreases in performance chemicals and a slowdown in Asia, while Dow cited the slowdown in Europe as their biggest headwind.

Following the announcement, S&P lowered its recommendation on DuPont from buy to sell and placed a $41 price target on the company, below the company's current price around $45.25. The news comes even after the company's effort to boost its cash business by selling off its performance coatings segment to the Carlyle Group for $4.9 billion back in August; check out our other thoughts on whether or not DuPont is a good buy.

Celanese Corporation (NYSE: CE) is another chemical producer, though it's focused on industrials and engineered plastics. Sales are expected to fall 1% in 2012, with growth picking up in 2013, growing in the range of 5%-7%. The company's 2013 growth should be driven by improvements in domestic manufacturing and a rise in engineered plastics used in North America's auto industry. The company is also making trends in geographic expansion, but has more exposure to weakness in Europe and Asia given that over 70% of its sales come from outside the U.S.

FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC) is a diversified producer of industrial, specialty, and agricultural chemicals. After an 8.4% rise in sales for 2011, the company is expected to grow sales another 10.5% in 2012. This chemical company is riding EPS growth that assumes the global farm economy will pick up and that Brazil will see more acreage planted as crops rise. The company has renewed its focus on the higher margin agricultural business, which should help it to see margin expansion in the future.
