Joey Pelupessy is convinced Wednesday are heading in the right direction under manager Jos Luhukay.
It has been a disappointing campaign for the Owls, who were much-fancied at the beginning of the year to mount a third consecutive promotion tilt.
But Wednesday have failed to live up to expectations and are languishing in 16th position.
Luhukay has called on the Owls to finish the season on a high note and his team will entertain high-flying Fulham on Saturday aiming to secure a fourth straight win. Victories over Leeds United, Preston North End and Sunderland mean it is highly likely Wednesday will avoid being sucked into a late relegation battle. The Owls are 13 points clear of the drop zone with six matches left to play.
Holding midfielder Pelupessy, recruited in the January transfer window, told The Star: “I think Jos arrived two or three weeks before me and the start was difficult because we had a lot of injuries and players were coming in from the youth team.
“Now the team is getting better and everybody is back and also the young players are doing well. The team is getting bigger and better.
“We are feeling very good, which is normal when you win three times in a row.
This isn't technically a screenshot, since it's a lot of screenshots stitched together to form a panorama, but still. The effect is stunning.

In Texas, the foster care system is failing the vulnerable children it’s meant to protect, leaving many without a safe place to live. Foster children often end up on the streets or in jail, which is one of the few places where they can receive treatment services. This week we look into the crisis in foster care, and efforts to fix it.
MacDiarmid Institute Governance Board Press Release: Paul Callaghan The Board and members of the MacDiarmid Institute are greatly saddened at the passing of Professor Sir Paul Callaghan, who died at home today, 24 March 2012.
Paul attracted widespread international recognition, winning many science prizes and accolades. He was a Fellow of both the Royal Society of New Zealand and the Royal Society of London. He became a Knight Grand Companion of the Order of New Zealand in 2009 and was New Zealander of the year in 2011.
Paul was the inspiration and founding Director of the Institute, which carries out research into advanced materials and nanotechnology. He was also a member of its Board and Chair of its International Advisory Panel. But he was much more than that. He was a man of passionate interests and boundless energy. He found time for a personal interest and friendship with all those he worked with, from students he supervised, to colleagues he debated with, and to friends he inspired and loved.
He loved to debate. He was an articulate and persuasive speaker and his passion was to see a brighter and stronger future for New Zealand. The greatest tribute we in the MacDiarmid Institute can pay him is to celebrate the magnificent difference that one man has made to this country and to rise to the challenges that he inspired us all with.

Homework can be a real struggle in a lot of families. Children work hard at school all day and are tired when they get home. For most children, the last thing on their mind is homework. Parents can support their children and make homework an engaging time. Here are some ideas.
Make sure your child gets some down time. It is nice to get homework done first thing, but some children really need a break. Work out a schedule with your child. Tell them what needs to be done before bed and let them choose the order it gets done.
Make sure your child has had a snack or dinner before they attempt to work. Frustration thrives on a hungry child.
Be there for them. Sit with them. Make it a special time that they get your undivided attention. This helps children feel like they are not alone.
If there is not enough time to get it done, save it for the morning when your child is fresh. Set an alarm a little earlier and do it before school. This is not the best way to get it done, but sometimes it is necessary.
Create a spot for homework to be done. It can be a desk or kitchen table. Make sure there are as few distractions as possible.
For reading each night, try to switch it up. One night the adult reads, one night you read an online book, one night you take turns on each page, or have your child read the last word of every sentence.
No matter what, try to keep this time calm. Homework is originally designed to reinforce skills. It is not meant to be something to drive children to tears. If your child is having too much homework frequently, talk with your child¹s teacher. Communication between parents and teachers in a respectful manner is always a benefit to the child.
The beef between Christina Aguilera and her former fellow Mouseketeer Tony Lucca cast a distracting pall over the final live performance episode of "The Voice" Monday night.
Lucca, the last-standing representative of Adam Levine's team, had one last chance to prove to America—and perhaps to Aguilera, his most ruthless critic—that he deserves the $100,000 prize and recording contract at stake in the three-month competition.
"Tony needs a moment again," Levine said ahead of Lucca's performance—meaning he would need to impress the audience the way he did when he put a rock spin on Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" in response to Aguilera's critique that he was one-dimensional.
Applying a similar formula, he transformed Jay-Z's "99 Problems" into a folksy, acoustic song. Like his other performances, it seemed to be a direct response to Aguilera's criticism; he was not one-dimensional and—just maybe—he had 99 problems, but she wasn't one.
He danced and spun around the stage, got the audience on on their feet and kept the song prime-time appropriate, choosing to mute out the b-word in the song's hook: "I've got 99 problems but a—mmm—ain't one," he sang instead.
When the performance ended, he stood next to host Carson Daly, beaming as he awaited his final critique.
It took mere seconds, however, for Aguilera to throw a match, igniting an explosion that seemed to burn Levine more than Lucca.
"I thought it sounded great—you have a really cool voice," she began, playing with a coffee cup in her hand. "I know your beautiful wife and your daughter and family are here tonight, and I just thought that the lyrical connotation was a little derogatory toward women."
After Cee Lo Green's critical contribution ("I thought it was hard! I liked it"), Levine was able to respond to Aguilera.
"We're not referring to women, we're referring to everything," he snapped, pointing out that he and Lucca had discussed the song lyrics "for hours" and decided that their interpretation was about "life getting at you, things bringing you down."
Aguilera interrupted his explanation to point out that the lyrics state, "if you're having girl problems."
"It's called a metaphor," Levine snapped back.
"If that's how you have to get points," Aguilera replied.
Levine then jumped to his feet and said, “I just want say, I love you, Christina, but Tony, I thought you did fantastic."
He then tore off his button-down, revealing a "Team Xtina"-emblazoned t-shirt. He shoved himself back in his seat, put his foot up and stared ahead in a display of unaffectedness.
Daly tried to skip around the tension, ushering the show along, but he couldn't put out the embers.
Lucca had a final chance to respond. Daly handed him the microphone after he finished performing a tribute to his coach and told him that he could say whatever he’d like.
“I just want to say thank you to all four of you,” he said for the “completely amazing, life-altering experience.” Aguilera appeared to be texting on her cell phone and didn’t look up once throughout his appreciation speech, or after he descended the stairs to give Levine a hug.
There was more to the show, of course, than the feuding.
Jermaine Paul, the soulful former Alicia Keys backup singer, began the show with a powerful rendition of "I Believe I Can Fly," which was accompanied by an orchestra and his own set of background singers.
The audience waved their hands back and forth, and Aguilera got to her feet during his performance.
"Man, my heart is in my throat right now," his coach Blake Shelton said when he wrapped up. "I'm speechless for a lot of reasons."
Backstage, Paul was also choked up and speechless, barely able to complete an interview with Christina Milian.
"I left my heart on that stage," he managed to choke out before his parents swooped in to take questions.
Mann finished the show how he started it. He remained in his classical comfort zone, singing "You Raise Me Up." He also performed "The Prayer," an Andrea Bocelli-Celine Dion duet with Aguilera, who used her moment on the mic following the performance to take that "this is a real man" jab at Lucca.
From Team Cee Lo, rocker Juliet Simms, the only female left standing, put her gritty vocals to work on "Free Bird," which drew unanimous praise.
Luckily for Lucca, coaches will have no say whatsoever when it comes to deciding which contestant will be crowned winner of "The Voice."
Viewer voting continued through the night, and results will be announced on Tuesday's finale episode, which airs on NBC at 9 p.m. ET.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — No. 18 Iowa State will be without junior David Montgomery, one of its best players, for the first half of one of the bigger games in school history.
How the Cyclones (6-3, 5-2 Big 12) fare for 30 minutes without their star running back could decide whether they stay alive in the Big 12 title game chase.
Montgomery, the Big 12’s second-leading rusher, will miss the first two quarters of Saturday’s showdown at No. 13 Texas (7-3, 5-2) after being ejected for throwing a punch during last week’s win over Baylor. Iowa State didn’t even bother to appeal Montgomery’s suspension, instead chalking it up to a lesson learned and a chance for his backups to respond.
The Cyclones own the head-to-head tiebreaker over No. 7 West Virginia. But they need to win out and hope for a Mountaineers loss to make it to the championship game for the first time.
Montgomery’s numbers — 765 yards and six touchdowns on 4.5 yards a carry — at times belie his ability, as the third-year back often runs behind a line that has struggled to spring him. But Montgomery is undoubtedly a difference maker, and the kind of player who could easily leave for the NFL draft next spring.
The Cyclones’ next-best running threat is freshman quarterback Brock Purdy. But trying to spring Purdy to run wild in open space might be too risky — especially against a physical defense like Texas.
The better bet is that the Cyclones will try to cobble together a first-half rushing attack behind reserves Kene Nwangwu, Johnnie Lang and Sheldon Croney. Those three have combined for just 3.1 yards a carry in 69 tries this year, but they say they’re confident they can fill Montgomery’s shoes.
Nwangwu is averaging 33 yards on kick returns, and he had 10 carries for 49 yards in a win over Oklahoma State on Oct. 6. Lang, a freshman, is one of the fastest players on the team, and Croney appears to be an option in short-yardage situations.
“I feel like whoever is in the game is just going to produce,” Nwangwu said.
Campbell said he is not concerned about missing Montgomery for a half, partly because the Cyclones played without him against the Cowboys and scored 48 points.
Montgomery’s suspension couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Cyclones, who have won five straight in the league for the first time.
But Iowa State has shown an impressive knack for overcoming adversity, bouncing back from a 1-3 start despite losing two starting quarterbacks — Kyle Kempt to injury and Zeb Noland to a transfer — already this season.
The Federal Reserve got us into this mess.
So says Marc Faber, editor of "The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report," in a recent edition of The Wall Street Journal.
“The world has gone from the greatest synchronized economic boom in history to the first synchronized global bust since the Great Depression," due to monetary policy, Faber contends.
Our currently disastrous global economy may also be attributed to governments that ignored market signals and central bankers who believed in endless booms, Faber says.
"The Fed never truly implemented tight monetary policy [when it was needed]," he says, referring to economic circumstances beginning with the 2000 tech-stock bust.
In January 2001, the Fed began cutting rates, from 6.5 percent to 1.75 percent as the year ended, and down to 1 percent in 2003, Faber points out.
These were the wrong moves, Faber suggests, since the U.S. economy began rebounding on its own in November 2001.
Right now, "The best policy response would be to do nothing and let the free market correct the excesses brought about by unforgivable [Fed] policy errors," Faber says.
Some economists agree that our monetary policy has been misguided.
"The Fed held its target interest rate, especially in 2003-2005, well below known monetary guidelines that say what good policy should be based on historical experience,” John Taylor, a professor of economics at Stanford, also recently wrote in the Journal.
All you history buffs out there are going to want to clear some space in your calendar and plan a trip to Washington, DC to see an absolutely unforgettable new exhibit! Nearly two years after completing his historic presidency, Barack Obama’s bones are currently on display at the Smithsonian for the first time!
This is an incredible opportunity to get a firsthand look at the 44th president’s skeleton up close and in person!
As of Monday of this week, the full set of bones of former U.S. President Barack Obama, who served from 2008 to 2016, can be seen at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History’s new exhibit dedicated to his life and presidency. Obama’s skeleton, which up to this point had been stored underground in an archive beneath the museum and away from public view, has been fully reconstructed by some of the nation’s top paleontologists, and the display will give visitors the chance to observe for themselves the size and stature of the “Yes We Can” president whose inauguration and presidency still represent hope for much of the country.
Seriously, this is not something any fans of American history are going to want to miss. Anybody who can make the trip will not regret taking the time to witness the skeleton of the groundbreaking commander in chief who helped pass the Affordable Care Act and who was in the situation room as Osama bin Laden was brought to justice in 2011.
Along with President Obama’s bones, the exhibit also includes a replica of the former president’s Nobel Peace Prize, as well as the skull of his beloved pet dog, Bo. This is pretty much as close as you can get to actually meeting Barack Obama in person!
President Obama’s incredible legacy as the first African American president and a progressive icon deserves to be remembered and honored, which is why it’s so awesome that the Smithsonian has made his skeleton available for the world to see for the first time! Be sure to check it out because this exhibit sounds like a must-see!
When you're LeBron James, simply playing some romantic music for your wedding anniversary ain't gonna cut it -- you gotta get the real thing to perform in YOUR HOUSE!!
LBJ and Savannah celebrated their 5th anniversary on Thursday night ... with the Lakers superstar recruiting singer/songwriter Daniel Caesar to serenade her with a private performance of his hit song, "Best Part," right in the comfort of their living room.
FYI -- King James and Savannah have been together waaaayyyy longer than 5 years ... they were high school sweethearts and have been inseparable ever since.
As for Caesar -- if you haven't heard of him before, you probably will soon. The 23-year-old Canadian musician is a rising star in the industry. But, you know how the James' are -- always ahead of the trends.
We gotta admit ... it was probably best LeBron kept it to the pros. Have you heard him sing before?!

Joey Pelupessy is convinced Wednesday are heading in the right direction under manager Jos Luhukay.

It has been a disappointing campaign for the Owls, who were much-fancied at the beginning of the year to mount a third consecutive promotion tilt.

But Wednesday have failed to live up to expectations and are languishing in 16th position.

Luhukay has called on the Owls to finish the season on a high note and his team will entertain high-flying Fulham on Saturday aiming to secure a fourth straight win. Victories over Leeds United, Preston North End and Sunderland mean it is highly likely Wednesday will avoid being sucked into a late relegation battle. The Owls are 13 points clear of the drop zone with six matches left to play.

Holding midfielder Pelupessy, recruited in the January transfer window, told The Star: “I think Jos arrived two or three weeks before me and the start was difficult because we had a lot of injuries and players were coming in from the youth team.

Along with President Obama’s bones, the exhibit also includes a replica of the former president’s Nobel Peace Prize, as well as the skull of his beloved pet dog, Bo. This is pretty much as close as you can get to actually meeting Barack Obama in person!

President Obama’s incredible legacy as the first African American president and a progressive icon deserves to be remembered and honored, which is why it’s so awesome that the Smithsonian has made his skeleton available for the world to see for the first time! Be sure to check it out because this exhibit sounds like a must-see!

When you're LeBron James, simply playing some romantic music for your wedding anniversary ain't gonna cut it -- you gotta get the real thing to perform in YOUR HOUSE!!

LBJ and Savannah celebrated their 5th anniversary on Thursday night ... with the Lakers superstar recruiting singer/songwriter Daniel Caesar to serenade her with a private performance of his hit song, "Best Part," right in the comfort of their living room.

FYI -- King James and Savannah have been together waaaayyyy longer than 5 years ... they were high school sweethearts and have been inseparable ever since.

As for Caesar -- if you haven't heard of him before, you probably will soon. The 23-year-old Canadian musician is a rising star in the industry. But, you know how the James' are -- always ahead of the trends.

We gotta admit ... it was probably best LeBron kept it to the pros. Have you heard him sing before?!
