“I can be lazy and get by or I can really be motivated and really have self discipline and make sacrifices and get up early and go snowboarding ... and that’s when you get the rewards.”  Eric Jackson

Ashley Tisdale switches gears to voice 'Sabrina'

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ashley Tisdale said she's delighted to voice the title character in Hub TV's new "Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch." But her 3-year-old niece has her beat.

"She's super excited about it," Tisdale said. "She saw the 'Sabrina' poster in my house and said, 'Aunt Ashley is Sabrina!'"

For Tisdale, her role in the animated series debuting 9 a.m. EDT Saturday is an acting treat.

Sabrina is "such a cute, quirky character. She's really cool and popular in 'witch world,' but when it comes to her human world she's klutzy and completely opposite," she said. "It's fun to play with both sides."

There's another advantage to the show, Tisdale said: Voice recording sessions don't demand playing dress-up and she can even work in sweats.

The live-action series "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch," which starred Melissa Joan Hart as a high school student who discovers she's a witch, aired from 1996-2003.

Tisdale's voice-acting skills, honed in projects including "Phineas and Ferb," allow her to continue playing characters Sabrina's age or even younger. But the former "High School Musical" star now is 28, recently engaged to rocker Christopher French (they're in "the beginning stages" of wedding plans, she said) and runs her own production company.

Among other projects, the company is producing a pilot for ABC Family, Tisdale said. She's also keeping on-screen roles in the forefront, playing Rebel Wilson's sister in freshman sitcom "Super Fun Night" and taping an episode next week of "The Crazy Ones," the new Robin Williams comedy on CBS.

She sounds a bit awed talking about Wilson, who's wearing writing, producing and starring hats for her ABC sitcom. That is both daunting and inspiring, said Tisdale, adding, "You're so proud of her because she's doing it."

Williams is another role model, said the actress who began working as a preteen.

"I grew up watching every Robin Williams movie ever made, so this is so exciting," she said. "It's cool to be able to work with people you've looked up to and enjoyed and can learn from."

Tom Arnold, Special Representative for Hunger, Concern Worldwide | Shenggen Fan, Director General, International Food Policy Research Institute | Kathy Spahn, President & CEO, Helen Keller International | Moderated by: John Heller, Senior Director, Synergos

Smallholder farmers in developing countries are being hit by a barrage of economic, environmental, and political shocks, and these shocks are becoming more frequent and intense. Smallholder farmers in developing countries are increasingly challenged to anticipate, prepare for, cope with, and recover from shocks. The panelists, representing perspectives from government, NGOs, development institutions, and research organizations, will share their experiences of what works and what does not to help smallholder farmers be more resilient, which policies and investments need to be changed, where are the opportunities for innovation, and how different actors can work better with each other to be more successful.

This Weird Portable Shower Sprays Water Up Instead of Down

The Viteo Shower is a portable outdoor shower that sprays water from below. It's not just a fancy name for a hose, either. At least we think.

Apple report: Chinese workers unhappy as they put together your cheaper iPhone

Bloomberg

A report by nonprofit China Labor Watch said Apple's supplier Pegatron is working employees long hours for little pay.

A report out today by New York-based nonprofit China Labor Watch looked into the working conditions of Apple?s Chinese supplier, Pegatron.

It revealed two pieces of news, one intentionally and one probably less so.

First, the report highlighted Pegatron?s less-than-desirable working conditions at three different factories in China. As in, 11-hour days, six days a week, making about $1.50 an hour. It?s kind of a black eye considering Apple made a big fanfare of investigating its supply chain to improve working conditions.

Both Apple and Pegatron said they would investigate the allegations.

The other revealing detail on the report? Employees working those ridiculous hours are currently building that rumored cheaper iPhone. The report references the new iPhone throughout (well, and the title is ?Apple?s unkept promises: Cheap iPhones come at high costs to Chinese workers?). It also mentioned the low-priced phone is plastic and will soon be released on the market. (Venturebeat does a nice job pulling out all those references here.)

Dallas Cowboys News & Notes: Cowboys LB Corps Among Best In NFL?

Latest Dallas Cowboys headlines: Justin Durant thinks the Cowboys have one of the top LB units in the league, Garrett explains why it's hard to give Witten a day off, and Terrance Williams gets some help from the vets.

Justin Durant: Cowboys LB corps can be among best - Tim MacMahon, ESPN Dallas
Justin Durant, a six-year veteran with 68 NFL starts under his belt, is highly impressed by his fellow linebackers Bruce Carter and Sean Lee:

"Man, Bruce is special with how athletic, how strong he is, how fast and everything. It?s crazy," Justin Durant said. "And Sean is probably the best at playmaking recognition that I?ve seen. He can diagnose. He knows more than the coaches, man. It?s just crazy."

MacMahon writes that Durant firmly believes the Cowboys can have one of the league?s elite linebacker corps.

"It can be one of the best, I think," Durant said. "The ability that I see in those guys, man, they?re two of the best that I?ve played with. As long as we keep working, keep working, keep working, keep fighting, keep trying to get better as a whole, we?re going to be all right. I really think it can be one of the best."

Why doesn't Jason Witten get a 'veteran day off'? Garrett refers you to the 'Aggie 21' story
This is a must-read story in which Jason Garrett explains why he can't get Witten to take a day off. Minor spoiler:

"You start the conversation," Garrett said. "He nods his head, he continues to nod his head, and he goes out to practice again and again and again."

Williams continues to improve with strong scrimmage - C. Hill, Star-Telegram
Clarence Hill writes that Terrance Williams had a strong practice yesterday, with several receptions and a TD, and that Williams credits Dez Bryant and Miles Austin for their positive reinforcement.

"I was nervous at the beginning," Williams said. "The dropped pass brought me down. Dez and Miles told me to let it go. I was nervous being here for the first time. I got used to it. I?m getting better day by day. The goal is not to take a step back and keep going forward."

Some Early Observations From Sunday's Scrimmage - B. Broaddus, DallasCowboys.com
Broaddus walks us through his take on Sunday's scrimmage, highlighting the efforts of Sterling Moore, Jason Hatcher, Anthony Smith and Tyron Smith.

Day 7 observations from Dallas Cowboys training camp practice - B. George, DMN
Brandon George offers a play-by-play of the highlights of yesterday's practice, which includes these two gems:

For a second consecutive day, WR Jared Green did a good job keeping both feet in bounds in the back of the end zone for a touchdown catch in 7-on-7 red zone drills on a pass from QB Alex Tanney. Later in team drills, Green short-armed a pass over the middle that he appeared to be in position to catch from Tanney.

WR Eric Rogers made a nice touchdown catch on a jump-ball, deep pass from QB Alex Tanney in team drills. Tanney had a good day and on this play, looked a lot like Tony Romo avoiding the pass-rush. Tanney stepped up in the pocket and slung the ball to the left end zone, where Rogers out-jumped safeties Eric Frampton and Micah Pellerin for the catch.

Do Those Who Deny Advanced Statistics Even Watch the Game? - Advanced NFL Stats
Josh Morgan has a powerful message to those who deny advanced analytics:

"The realm of "clutch" and "overrated" and "the will to win," is vehemently guarded by otherwise smart and rational people, who deny new kinds of perspectives the way Rollingstone Magazine denies anything relevant happened in rock 'n' roll since 1975. But to those smart and rational people: Your time is passing."

For anybody even remotely statistically inclined, this is a great read.
