CNN article
Zimbabwe introduces new $50 billion note
HARARE, Zimbabwe (CNN) -- Zimbabwe's central bank will introduce a $50 billion note -- enough to buy just two loaves of bread -- as a way of fighting cash shortages amid spiraling inflation.
Zimbabwe's dollar is virtually worthless with foreign currency now being used to purchase basic items.
The country's acting finance minister, Patrick Chinamasa, made the announcement in a government gazette released Saturday.
While Chinamasa did not give the date on which the $50 billion and new $20 billion notes would come into circulation, an official at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe said the notes would be distributed to all banks by the end of Monday.
Zimbabwe is grappling with hyperinflation now officially estimated at 231 million percent and its currency is fast losing its value. As of Friday, one U.S. dollar was trading at around ZW$25 billion.
When the government issued a $10 billion note just three weeks ago, it bought 20 loaves of bread. That note now can purchase less than half of one loaf.
Realizing the worthlessness of the currency, the RBZ has allowed most goods and services to be charged in foreign currency. As a result, grocery purchases, government hospital bills, property sales, rent, vegetables and even mobile phone recharge cards are now paid for in foreign currency, as the worthless Zimbabwe dollar virtually ceases to be legal tender.
Once a regional economic model, Zimbabwe is in the throes of an economic crisis, with unemployment running at more than 80 per cent and many families unable to afford a square meal. President Robert Mugabe's critics blame his policies for the economic meltdown but he in turn says the West is sabotaging his efforts.
Don't Miss
In order to attract foreign currency, Zimbabwe's central bank has, since September, licensed at least 1,000 shops to sell goods in foreign currency. All mobile phone service providers are now licensed to accept foreign exchange for airtime and other services.
John Robertson, an economist in Zimbabwe, said he's puzzled by the introduction of the new $50 and $20 billion notes.
"I am not really sure what these notes would be for," he said. "No one now accepts the local currency. It is a waste of resources to print Zimbabwe dollar notes now. Who accepts a currency that loses value by almost 100 percent daily?"
In August last year, the RBZ slashed ten zeros from the currency. But the zeroes have bounced back with more vigor.
It was just December 20th, 2008 that Zimbabwe introduced the $10 billion note: CNN article.
And it wasn't very long ago that the world was shocked when they were producing multi-MILLION dollar notes, now it's multi-billion dollar notes.
Yes, the United States is in far better shape than Zimbabwe… for now. We are currently headed in the opposite direction from a monetary perspective – while Zimbabwe is experiencing massive hyperinflation, we are experiencing deflation… for now.
Throughout the history of the world, no fiat currency has EVER stood the test of time – ALL have failed.
Cause of death?
It is almost always inflation, NOT deflation. Deflation is usually the healing process at work, BUT when never ending STIMULUS is provided to fight deflation it can turn into inflation – later. Please consider that Government Spending Makes Recessions Worse.
Then again, never ending STIMULUS during a credit collapse only makes the math worse when the entire economy is already SATURATED with debt (Death by Numbers). The end result may not be hyper-inflation, it may very well be a monetary RESET of some type. These have happened many times throughout history and, in fact, several times in the history of the United States (My MONEY 'tis to thee...).
It's a confusing issue because people still have the inflationary mind set. They have seen our own budget numbers grow just recently from talking billions to talking TRILLIONS.
Does our country's leadership understand what's happening to our own monetary system and economy any more than Zimbabwe's leadership understands how to fix theirs? When does this type of insanity stop? When WE make it stop, or when the system collapses, the choice is up to US.

Standing Firm: Workplace Solutions for Opiate Use and Abuse
Posted by Tommy Eden at 11:12 AM
Email Communications
The act of sending an email to someone affiliated with us, or submitting information via an electronic or written form, does not create an attorney-client relationship. Furthermore, we cannot represent anyone unless we know that doing so would not be a conflict of interest, or would require us to practice law in states or courts where we are not licensed to practice or give advice. Accordingly, please do not send us information about representing you in a potential legal matter unless you cleared the matter with the attorney involved. Any unsolicited communication without proper authorization may not be treated as privileged or confidential.
CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEDGED; ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT: Emails and attachments received from us may be protected by the attorney-client privilege, as attorney work-product or by virtue of other privileges or provisions of law. If you are not an intended recipient, please do not read, copy, use, forward, or disclose any such communications or attachments to others; immediately notify the sender by reply email; and delete the email and the reply from your system. Any unauthorized disclosure, copying, distribution, or use of emails from us or any attachments thereto is prohibited.
UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) CIRCULAR 230 DISCLOSURE: To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS in Circular 230, we inform you that, unless and to the extent we otherwise state, any federal tax advice contained in communications from us (including any attachments) is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by any taxpayer for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another person any transaction or matter addressed therein.
Circular 230 Explanation
Effective on June 21, 2005, all tax practitioners, including lawyers and certified public accountants, must follow certain rules (Circular 230) when providing written statements about federal tax issues. The scope of those rules is extremely broad. The rules apply whenever attorneys and other tax professionals provide written advice about a transaction that has a material degree of tax motivation. Taxpayers may rely on such advice for protection from Internal Revenue Service penalties only if the advice is provided in the form of a "covered opinion," which must comply with complex requirements.
In many cases, our clients seek advice which has tax implications even when they do not intend to utilize our communication for the avoidance of tax penalties. In those cases, rather than undergoing the time and expense of providing advice in the form of a covered opinion, we include the disclaimer above.
There may, of course, be situations where a client will, despite the additional effort and expense involved, request that we issue a covered opinion regarding Federal tax issues. Before preparing such an opinion, the attorney involved will discuss with the client the requirements that must be met, whether it is possible to meet those requirements under the circumstances, and the anticipated time that will have to be spent to meet the stringent covered opinion requirements. However, unless a client instructs us in writing that a reliance opinion is requested, or we conclude after discussion with a client that a reliance opinion is required, the disclaimer above will apply to all written Federal tax advice provided by the Firm.
The presence of the disclaimer does not change the high degree of care and attention that we devote to our tax advice. Moreover, the inclusion of the disclaimer does not indicate that penalties could be imposed on the transaction at issue, but rather merely indicates that the advice we have provided you in such communication does not preclude the IRS from asserting penalties. Finally, please be assured that the use of such a disclaimer to avoid unnecessary legal expenses is similar to the approach adopted by most other tax practitioners.
No assurance of the completeness, comprehensiveness, correctness, or currency of the information included in this website is given. The materials and information presented in this website are not legal advice and should not be relied upon or construed as legal advice. Any views or opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect the view or opinion of the Firm, its attorneys, or its clients.

Media covering issues related to planning and paying for college will want to save the date for the 2014 NASFAA conference, held June 29 – July 2, 2014 at the brand-new Music City Center, located in the heart of vibrant downtown Nashville.

Stop Cruel, Outdated Trainings On Cats
This petition made change with 182,625 supporters!
Three cats, Alley, Fiddle, and Kiki, need our help. They have been used in cruel trainings for seven years. For the University of Virginia to be deliberately inflicting pain and suffering on defenseless animals in the name of medical education is inappropriate, unjustified, inhumane and archaic. As a practicing pediatrician with years of experience, I have profound concern for the health and well-being of all children, including the smallest premature infants. As a medical school faculty physician with many years experience in pediatric education and training, I have equal concern for the quality of training that aspiring pediatricians receive during their residency. One of the more challenging aspects of this training is acquiring skills and proficiency in performing procedures, especially in very small infants. The importance of perfecting tracheal intubation (passing a breathing tube into the windpipe) cannot be overly emphasized, as it is truly lifesaving.
Many years ago this procedure was taught by practicing on animals (cats, kittens, ferrets, rabbits) whose anatomy was very different from that of a human infant. This ineffective method of training has been replaced in modern times due to new technology in the form of human patient simulators. These simulators, including premature infant models are astonishingly realistic, anatomically correct, and can be used over and over again without causing harm to an animal or human baby. The infant simulators cry, breathe, and turn blue when their airway is blocked. In view of this I find it incomprehensible and disturbing to learn that the University of Virginia pediatric residency program still uses Alley, Fiddle, and Kiki to train pediatric residents.
The overwhelming majority of pediatric residency programs in the U.S. and Canada – 95% in fact – have ceased using animals for training. The path of modern training has moved from animals to more effective human-based medical simulation. Why is it that the University of Virginia refuses to make the change and continues to be in the extreme minority who are holding onto this outdated practice? During their training, residents in their program repeatedly force breathing tubes down the throats of cats, sometimes as many as 19 – 22 times in one day, This can cause bleeding, bruising, scarring, permanent injury and significant residual pain. At least two cats have had their teeth broken and another had adverse effects lasting days. Cats are used over and over again. People who have had a breathing tube inserted for anesthesia during surgery will often tell you that recovering from the tube was as bad as recovering from the surgery.
Please sign my petition encouraging UVA to do the right thing. I have over 25 years experience working in Pediatrics at Duke University, Marshall University, East Carolina University, and Carolinas Medical Center. Based on my extensive knowledge in this field, I can confidently say that the University of Virginia does not need to continue to abuse Alley, Fiddle, and Kiki. By switching to medical simulation, not only will these cats be spared suffering but the resident training will be superior and their future pediatricians able to provide better care for their patients.

Pastapadre notes today that a video EA Sports released to reveal Tim Tebow as the cover athlete for NCAA Football 11 also revealed that the game looks like it has ESPN presentation much like the ESPN and CBS presentation in NCAA Basketball 10. That is quite cool: Though I didn't really love the gameplay in the last version of the college hoops game, the presentation was immersive and compelling, and did a great job of translating what you see on TV to a game you can play, and I assume the better-manned gridiron franchise will take that even further. (Update: Bingo.)
However, this is interesting to me not just as a sports gamer, but as an ESPN watcher, because I forgot that The Worldwide Leader's changing its on-screen presentation for college football, and maybe more than that. Continue reading

Probably 2006's most unlikely collaborators are to play four shows in the UK in January.
Isobel Campbell, ultra-delicate and formerly of the most twee outfit since Fountains of Wayne stopped writing about aliens for Christmas (that's Belle and Sebastian, by the way), will pair up with big bad wolf Mark Lanegan, he of Queens of the Stone Age and Screaming Trees. It will be the first time that the Mercury-nominated Ballad of the Broken Seas collaborators will share a stage.
Taking into account MySpace's annoying habit of randomly displaying different dates depending on what country it thinks you're in - nice one, Murdoch - the dates are probably thus:

24 Brighton Komedia
25 Bristol St. George's (with William Elliott Whitmore)
The London show has been moved from the Scala. All original tickets remain valid.

The awards are becoming as meaningless as the Nigerian yearly awards. Sort your house before sorting the world.
- 22 January 2013 at 01:13
Its so unfortunate and disheartening the way this UN Peace Ambassadorship is being dished out to all and sundry. With all due respect to the different recipient artistes, what exactly are the criteria chosen before this award is conferred upon them? Being one of the founding members of the United Nations Youth Association-Nigeria -the awarding body - it smacks of gross corruption for awards to be given to anyone starting from D'Banj's in 2008 or thereabout just for pecuniary gains of a few. There is so much that UNYA-Nigeria can do to affect lives being a direct appendage of the United Nations rather than dish out awards just for the sake of it. I fear for the future of this generation if all we can offer is our myopic and rather bemusing hedonistic acts.
Linda please post my comment and if you want a detailed expose of the shenanigans behind the activities of UNYA-Nigeria, I would gladly oblige you.

Greatly said @Orire.
We need to verify the kind of a lady she is for her to come out and say bad things concerning her hubby.
There's something behind this whole issue.
However, he Zakky should also be checked to the root and know how he handled situations before making good or bad comments about the incident and the award.
Thanks Linda for sharing

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP: Notre Dame's Farley takes unique route
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. >> Matthias Farley's path to the BCS title game is far from conventional.
He'll start at safety for top-ranked Notre Dame on Monday night, when the Fighting Irish take on No. 2 Alabama to decide this season's college football national champion.
That notion would have seemed impossible four years ago.
It didn't even look all that likely even four months ago. Yet here he is, a rookie in terms of playing defense, set to potentially take on a huge role in the BCS title game.
"He's a great player and he's done a great job so far," said Notre Dame safety Zeke Motta, who starts alongside Farley. "I wouldn't expect anything less. His preparation and how he's approached that transition, I think it's been great. He's definitely accepted the challenge."
And that challenge was a daunting one.
To fully understand why Farley's role has been such a key for Notre Dame this season, the calendar would have to be flipped back four years to when he decided to give up soccer and play football -- for the first time. He went from the pitch to the pigskin as a high school junior, wound up catching 74 passes for more than 1,500 yards and 22 touchdowns in his two seasons at that level, and was part of Brian Kelly's first full recruiting class with the Fighting Irish.
Once he got to Notre Dame, however, he just couldn't get on the field as a receiver.
So he switched to safety. And then starter Jamoris Slaughter was lost for the season with an Achilles injury. Farley was put in the lineup and never looked back.
"He's not afraid of anything, any challenge," Kelly said. "If you ask him if he's got a tape of Portuguese, he'll learn Portuguese. You know what I mean? There's nothing that he looks at and says, `I can't do this.' He's got so much pride and so much confidence in himself that any task that you ask him to do, he's going to find a way."
Against Alabama, Farley will need to do just that.
The Crimson Tide has thrown for 27 touchdowns this season and averages 38.5 points per game. Notre Dame's scoring defense leads the nation, allowing only 10.3 points per game (a mere 0.4 points better than Alabama's defense).
"Having people like Zeke Motta and Jamoris Slaughter there to get guidance from, to get advice from, they have all been huge parts of my development," said Farley, who also credited assistant coaches Bob Elliott and Kerry Cooks. "And then just putting in the work myself, actually wanting to go meet with coaches after and see what I can work on and all that kind of stuff. A lot of it is just having great people around me to help develop me."
Then again, some of it is simply personal commitment.
Farley broke his right hand on Oct. 27 in Notre Dame's win against Oklahoma. An injury like that could keep someone sidelined for many weeks.
Farley didn't even miss many days.
Broke the hand on Saturday, had surgery to insert two plates and six screws on the following Tuesday, practiced the next day and played that weekend against Pittsburgh -- the game in which the Irish needed three overtimes before keeping the undefeated season and national-title hopes alive with a 29-26 win.
"The kid broke his hand, had surgery and played the same week," Kelly said. "He's just a special kid that when you challenge him he's going to come through for you."
That seems to be a trend in the Notre Dame secondary.
The majority of the group seems to be converted receivers, like Farley. He had some growing pains this season -- he got beaten for what should have been a long early touchdown for Miami in their game in October, but caught a break when the ball was dropped. Yet the Irish say he got better every week.
"Having been on offense, you can kind of think of how the receiver thinks," Farley said. "But you don't necessarily know where they're going to go."
Seems kind of fitting, since four years ago, Farley had no idea he'd be going to the BCS title game.

Fruit of Your Labor: Growing Blueberries
As a kid growing up in East Tennessee, I looked forward to that moment every summer when my dad would load our family up in the car and take us to a very special hiking spot. What made it so special? It wasn't the hiking, trust me (I am not so outdoorsy). For me, it was the reward of wild blueberry bushes circling the bald at the top of the trail. We'd pick and eat and pick and eat, until our stomachs were protesting and our berry buckets were full. We'd head home already daydreaming of pie, cobbler, pancakes and jams, bursting with the literal fruits of our labors.
As an adult, I buy my blueberries from the farmer's market, or the grocery store in a pinch. They are still one of my favorite fruits, but now they are so pricey that I dream of the bounty of my youth. So I got to thinking, how hard could it be to grow my own blueberries? Turns out, they are one of the easiest berries to grow, only requiring the following:
1. Sun
Blueberries are sun worshippers, which is why we always found the wild variety in a mountain bald, unobstructed by the forest.
2. Water
If you don't have regular rainfall, plan on watering your blueberry bushes frequently. Which leads us to…
3. Soil
Even though blueberries love water, they don't like to be soggy. Fickle! Plant your bushes in well-draining soil, or in a raised bed. A great way to make sure your soil is well-draining is to incorporate peat moss into it.
4. Pruning
This one was hard for me to swallow, but the first year you plant your blueberry bushes? You have to cut off all of the blooms. I know. No blueberries that first year. But, here is the thing: by pruning back the new blossoms in year one, you will have a great crop in years to follow! After the first year, prune at the end of the growing season, removing low growth and any twiggy, non-vigorous branches.
5. Mulch and Fertilizer
Two to four inches of mulch, once a year, will help regulate moisture and keep weeds at bay. Fertilize with an acid fertilizer when the buds appear in early spring, and then again once the fruit is established.
So there you have it! You can buy potted blueberry bushes now (and get to pruning!), but the best time to plant them is September/October, depending on your zone.

TV Takes the Gold in Q3
Broadcast, cable budgets soar on infusion of Olympics, political dollars
Thanks in large part to an Olympian television marketplace and the deep pockets of Procter & Gamble and General Motors, U.S. advertising expenditures in the third quarter were up 7 percent versus the year-ago period.
According to an analysis by Kantar Media, the overall ad spend in Q3 added up to $34.5 billion, while spending for the first nine months of 2012 was up nearly 4 percent to $101.3 billion.
As expected, TV enjoyed the biggest portion of the ad bounty, which was inflated by spending on the 2012 London Summer Olympics and various political campaigns. All told, TV generated $18.3 billion in ad sales revenue, an improvement of 15 percent versus $15.9 billion a year ago.
Broadcasters took in $5.1 billion in sales, marking a 30 percent gain from $3.92 billion in Q3 2011. Naturally, a good deal of that extra volume was funneled toward NBC, thanks to its coverage of the Olympics. The Peacock scared up $1.2 billion in ad sales during the 17-day event.
National cable networks whipped up $5.9 billion in sales, up 3 percent from $5.73 billion, while spot TV booked $4.46 billion, a 20 percent hike.
Spanish-language broadcast and cable outlets grew ad sales 18 percent to $1.62 billion, and national syndication budgets were up 9 percent to 1.27 billion.
While the Olympics and politics delivered the expected jolt to the marketplace, accounting for some $1.8 billion in incremental spending, advertising on the whole has been relatively stable.
"Looking beyond these special events and focusing on indicators of core health, our data show that more than 60 percent of the top 1,000 advertisers increased their budgets year-over-year," said Jon Swallen, chief research officer at Kantar Media North America. "This proportion has been stable for several quarters and indicates marketers are holding the course."
Besides television, the only media to enjoy significant year-over-year growth were network radio (up 26 percent) and Spanish-language magazines (up 21 percent). Print platforms experienced slight contractions, as consumer magazines dipped 3 percent and b-to-b publications fell 4 percent.
National newspapers took the biggest hit, with budgets shrinking 17 percent, per Kantar data.
Spending among the 10 largest advertisers in Q3 was $3.98 billion, an 8 percent increase compared to $3.67 billion a year ago. Among the Top 100 marketers, budgets rose nearly 12 percent.
Perennial big spender P&G was once again the top-ranked advertiser, with measured spending of $770.9 million in Q3, an increase of 5 percent. Fears of spending cuts at General Motors were unfounded, as the automaker invested $471.8 million in media, up 25 percent. Much of GM's spend came out of its Cadillac division.
The largest growth rate among the top 10 was registered by Toyota, which ponied up $319.9 million, up 42 percent compared to a year ago, when operations were still hampered by the aftershocks of the Japanese tsunami and earthquake.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway cracked the upper echelon, thanks to a major sponsorship position in NBC's Olympics coverage. The conglomerate laid out $347.2 million in media spend, up 27 percent versus Q3 2011.
It wasn't all wine and roses, however. Ad expenditures for the two largest wireless service providers continued to decline, as AT&T investments fell 6 percent, to $384.3 million, while rival Verizon reduced its media budget by 12 percent, to $344.9 million.
Among all major categories, retail contributed the most to media's strong quarter, with an overall outlay of $3.93 billion—up 8 percent from the prior-year period. Auto was No. 2 on the list, with manufacturer and dealer spend increasing 21 percent—far and away the largest increase among the top 10—to $3.82 billion.

As a more theoretically inclined archaeologist my usual habitat is my university department but today I actually pulled on my work boots and set out for two weeks of consulting fieldwork in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Somewhat unfortunately for readers of this post, the 11th of July was actually my travel day. Working in remote areas as an archaeologist usually means at least one full day of travel just to get to your base (for many consultants in Australia this will mean a mining camp). Today I haven't actually left the state but was still in-transit for about 5 hours. In this short post, I want to share a few images and experiences from my work day to give you a sense of some of the more mundane, everyday realities of doing archaeology in Australia.
Luggage is always an interesting logistical concern on fieldwork, you need to be prepared for almost anything and bring it all with you, but cable ties and well-honed tetris skills can solve almost any issue we encounter.
There is nothing quite like driving >100km after spending a few hours in a plane, but the pay-off, getting to work in an amazing archaeological landscape will be worth it.
I definitely won't be looking this happy tomorrow when I wake up at 5am (FYI, sunrise here in the Pilbara is around 6.45am at the moment; ouch!) and then spend the morning reviewing our field safety procedures and organising equipment before driving out to one of the sites we'll be working at with local Traditional Owners for the next two weeks.

Using Ongoing Student Feedback to Reinforce Everyone's Role in the Course
Throughout the semester, faculty can construct their own feedback forms/questions to generate a dialogue about everyone's role in meeting the course outcomes. In addition to giving the instructor a chance to hear how things are going from the students' perspective, it also empowers students to be responsible for their own learning. As importantly, it provides an opportunity to reemphasize one's teaching style and course learning outcomes - things often discussed (but soon forgotten) on the first day of class.
When developing questions, Sargent asks that we consider the following:
- What questions will generate constructive feedback?
- What am I willing to change? (If you can't change something, don't ask for feedback on it.)
- Ask open-ended questions about the course.
Sargent suggests the following sample questions:
- What knowledge and experiences have contributed to your learning in this course?
- How have your peers helped you learn?
- How have you contributed to the learning in this course?
- How has the instructor and/or course materials aided your learning?
- What, if anything, has hindering your learning and what suggestions do you have?
When compiling the responses, consider organizing the feedback into the following categories:
- Things that are working well
- Things that we (the students and faculty) can work on
- Things we can't change (and why)
An important part of getting student feedback is "closing the loop," so plan to report the compiled information (trends) back to students in the next class session. Again, this is an opportunity to reinforce concepts, assignments, teaching and learning strategies, etc., which you probably addressed on the first day of class. You will find that you have a captive audience because the students are anxious to hear how you have reacted to their feedback. Faculty who use some sort of mid-semester feedback and respond to that feedback, rarely receive surprises on their end-of-the-semester student evaluations.

New York Giants Signed WR Plaxico Burress. 6 Years 25 Million Dollars. Very Good Signing and Lets Go Giants!!
Plaxico Burress Gives Giants Deep Threat
Fri Mar 18, 5:37 PM ET
By JEFFREY GOLD, Associated Press Writer
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Plaxico Burress ended his puzzling foray into free agency with the same team that didn't want him a week ago.
AP Photo
The free agent wide receiver officially joined the New York Giants (news) on Friday, a week after rejecting an offer from the team. He then fired agent Michael Harrison and signed with Drew Rosenhaus, who renewed negotiations.
The six-year, $25 million contract was reached Thursday, and includes an $8 million signing bonus, a football source told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The speedy former Pittsburgh Steelers (news) receiver met with the Giants last week and Harrison negotiated the same deal. But Burress turned it down, and New York to pulled its offer from the table.
"In free agency, when a player leaves our facility, we withdraw the offer and go on to other things," Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi said in a statement.
But Burress liked the situation in New York enough to work out a deal. He now becomes Eli Manning's No. 1 receiver.
"Having the option to move around and be able to go in motion and create some one-on-one matchups, that's an opportunity that I've been waiting for," Burress said. "I believe I can go out and play at a level with some of the best receivers in this game."
Burress, 6-foot-5 and 226 pounds, will be an attractive target for Manning, who is heading into his first season as a starter. Burress had 35 catches for 698 yards and five touchdowns last season and is a proven deep threat.
"He is a guy who has an imposing physical presence. And because he does have the ability to be a long-ball threat, he is a guy that will force defenses to pay particular attention to where he is," coach Tom Coughlin said. "He's a big target. He can catch the ball with his hands above his head, which puts him well above most corners and most safeties."
Burress spent the last five seasons in Pittsburgh after the Steelers selected him in the first round of Michigan State in 2000.
Also, the Giants re-signed running back Mike Cloud, who joined the team in September after being released by the New England Patriots (news). Cloud is likely to again back up Tiki Barber.

Kentucky Sen. Paul says he is considering 2016 presidential campaign
WASHINGTON (AP) � Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky says he is considering a presidential campaign in 2016 but will not make a decision before next year.
Paul says at a breakfast sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor that he wants to be part of the national debate and being considered a potential candidate gives him a "larger microphone" on issues.
Paul plans to travel to early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire this spring and South Carolina this summer as part of the process.
He says he is "considering it" but "we won't make a decision before 2014."
Paul is the son of former Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a libertarian Republican who sought the presidency in 1988, 2008 and 2012.

Yes, you have a Takedown. Please keep your pants on
We may be two weeks away from Criterion's latest update to Burnout Paradise, codenamed "Bogart," but the company has spilled the beans on what we can expect. You can read about the bugs that have been fixed on the official page, but the changes to the "game experience" are what we're most excited about.
- We fixed Head-on Takedowns as these seemed generally unfair and
unrealistic. Unfair low speed Takedowns have now been eradicated.
- Increase online race timer timeout so players have a greater chance of finishing the race.
- Fix drifting bug when drifting and boosting. There wasn't any real
control on the brake so players would grind around the walls of the
corners. Giving you all better control of the car.
- Stabbing the boost has too much of a jerky behaviour in the car handling, when in Stunt Run.
- Surround sound fix—Centre speaker was 4dB louder, ruining the mix. The speech has now been positioned correctly.
- Increase the # of search results returned for online games.
- Increase Picture Paradise timer so it doesn't kick in so quickly.
- Post event ticker commentary is not now displayed for disconnected players.
- Show player the number of Complete Challenges easily by listing X/50 in the Challenges menu.
These are all solid fixes, and in a game with online play as impressive as Paradise's, many of these issues might not have been clear in testing; it's amazing what happens when the masses hit the servers and explore your world. The update will be available on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network on April 24.
Remember: when the camera is about to click on after a takedown, it's not a good time to pull down your pants. Let's all agree on that so I can play the game when my kids are awake again, okay?

The line-up continues the network's commitment to 10pm quality programming with the ninth season of LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT premiering Tuesday, March 30 followed by the season three premiere of IN PLAIN SIGHT on Wednesday, March 31.
IN PLAIN SIGHT reigned as the most-watched series on basic cable Sundays in 2009. LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT was second only to IN PLAIN SIGHT on Sundays in 2009 among total viewers and ranked as the #3 drama among P25-54, P18-49 and households.
Season nine of LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT gets underway as we say goodbye to old friends and welcome new faces to the Major Case Squad. Saffron Burrows ("Boston Legal," "Troy"), the beautiful and talented SAG nominee, becomes the newest partner to Jeff Goldblum's Detective Zach Nichols. As Detective Serena Stevens, Burrows plays a highly educated, worldly single parent with a broad range of life experiences to draw upon in solving even the toughest of cases. Teamed with Detective Zach Nichols, they create a partnership of challenging intellect and street-smart savvy. Dick Wolf's third installment in the "Law & Order" franchise follows the Major Case Squad as it investigates high profile crimes. The cases often revolve around homicides, serial killers, VIPs, government officials and figureheads from the business and creative worlds. Unlike other procedural dramas, CRIMINAL INTENT focuses on the criminal psyche. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio steps into the role of Captain Zoe Callas after an action-packed tw

The most-watched series on basic cable Sundays in 2009, IN PLAIN SIGHT stars Mary McCormack as Mary Shannon, a U.S. Marshal working in the highly secretive witness protection program (WITSEC). Her job is to relocate Federal Witnesses, some of whom are career criminals, and some of whom are innocents who had the misfortune of witnessing a crime. But they all have one thing in common � someone wants them dead. Mary's job is to make sure this doesn't happen, while at the same time dealing with her own dysfunctional family. IN PLAIN SIGHT also stars Frederick Weller, Nichole Hiltz and Paul Ben-Victor, along with returning guest-stars Lesley Ann Warren, Cristian de la Fuente, and Joshua Malina. Oscar, Emmy and Grammy winner Rita Moreno ("Cane," "The Guardian"), four-time Emmy winner Allison Janney ("The West Wing," "Juno"), Steven Weber ("Wings," "Studio 60"), Tess Harper ("No Country for Old Men," "Breaking Bad"), Josh Cooke ("Committed," "Four Kings") and Donnie Wahlberg ("Boomtown," "The Sixth Sense") have also been cast to guest star in season three in the USA Network hit original series.

Those are called "mods", they are fan modified image files that can upgrade your house and yard. They can be found in several places but the best place to find them is at the Last Day at Work Web site in the forums. They have a special forum dedicated to mods.
WARNING! Read the instructions carefully on how to use mods and always backup your original image files before using mods. If something goes wrong when using mods you need the backups to restore your game to its original settings.
If you look back in the previous posts some folks have posted the web-site link for the LDW mods forum.
To Dopey Moo:
There are some things to increase happiness, but it also depends on the situation? Is she single or married? Does she have kids? Praising them and giving treats increases their happiness. Also, buying upgrades seems to help. I had one who was single for a long time and she was getting more and more depressed, so I finally accepted a marriage proposal for her and then she was fine. So, it depends on the situation, too.
To Tina:
What happens when you try to make a baby? Do they argue? Or do they try, but just don't produce a baby?
If they argue, you need to just keep dropping them on each other until they try to make a baby. If it's not producing a baby, you can try baby boost.
It's possible that being childless is making your father be depressed. Does his profile say that he definitely wants kids? You can help him get over being depressed by making sure there's plenty of food and praising him a lot. Also, give him treats. And make sure the house is clean.
If you need more help, let me know.
hey everyone, i have the wildest little adopted girl ever lol..i wish i knew how to take a picture of her i cant find where i read it on here. anyways i think i'll use her in the new generation just to see what kinda kids i get lol. i try to figure all the stuff out on my own but there has been questions and ya'll have been very helpful on those...maybe i'll figure the pic out later.
I had a wierd little kid... he had this Elvis kind of look on his face and under likes it says MAKEUP. I chose him to start the next generation and he is currently in his late 40s and has 4 kids.. but he is an awful worker.
One time, I had a couple I tried to get them to have a baby. I focused on the other kids getting weeds up or something and then checked on my couple. They were IN BED... not jumping on it, but litarally in the bed. Trying for the baby must have totally wore them out and they went directly to bed!
Just sharing...
I feel it's so easy to get anything.
now i just started the 2nd generation.
The 1st is so easy to handle.
they are good worker,mastered their work.
and they make a lot of money in just 1 day.
Both of them were dead together when they were 65.
Just keep them elated then they will die at 65.
hopefully the 2nd is easy too.
i take good care of my peeps, they are almost always maxed on happiness and health. I run 4 different households and they are all 3rd generation or better and i have never had anyone who had a serious illness yet for me to cure. Am I taking too good of care of them? Should I discourage exercise and let them stay up all night? How do you get them really sick. My Old people always die in their sleep with full health.
Help! I changed the time on my computer today--fast forwarded it a few hours ago. Checked back on my VF, and they had aged a few years (same as the time)! I fast forwarded the clock again, and now it says that my Internet isn't working! I cannot play my game! What happened? Please, help me! And yes, I changed the time back to what it really is!
[Edit: We strongly advise against changing your computer clock. Not only can it ruin your game, it can also mess up other functions that rely on the computer clock. -Pam]
Here is a screenshot of where a red ball can be found "exactly"
I would really like to ask some questions about the game, but I can't even sign up. I don't have a url or website or homepage, so it says try again all the time. Can you help me?
[Edit: The url, website, or homepage field is optional and shouldn't be the reason you're not able to sign up for a Casual Gameplay account. Is perhaps your response to the captcha incorrect? If you continue to have problems, please contact us using the contact link located at the bottom of every page. In the meantime, you are welcome to ask questions anonymously. We also have a helpful guide in the blue walkthrough section located at the top of this page. -Pam]
I haven't been able to find my remote for two generations. I drop my people everywhere and can't find the darn thing! The mom will even ask me to help her find it. Has anyone else come across this, and how do I find it again? Also, if I buy the new tv, will a remote come with it, or will I still need to find the remote?
To Joanne:
The remote should be somewhere in the house on the floor. I've found mine just about everywhere.
To Ashley:
The red balls aren't good for anything. It's just something the developers added to drive everyone nuts for no reason. xD
To Kristinna:
The mothers carry the baby for two years, which is about four hours in real time.
My caterer finally topped out at $300
On another note.. I have a family that is now in its 5th generation. During the first generation started with twin girls it continued in this fashion... girl, girl, girl, boy, girl, girl. With the youngest being called Flash.
The next generation only had 2 boys and no girls. The third generation had 5 boys and no girls. The fourth generation, didn't seem to want to have kids.. got one soon after marriage, but everytime I tried after that was a no go... until the son was 17 years old and the parents were in their late 40s.
I thought no more kids for them, but one more shot before they get to old. They finally had another boy! So the 4th generation ended up with 2 boys... but both were kinda ugly! Was wondering what kind of kids they would have!
I chose the first born to start the 5th generation... simply because he had a workshop job and thats the one I needed. With all the mating problems I had on the previous generation, I chose the first marriage proposal to get started on children immediately. He ended up marrying a girl that looked just like his MOTHER!
Right away they had a little boy... the cutest thing ever! When he was only 2, they tried again and were finally blessed with triplets... all boys! But cute as buttons! They are now 4 years old and their parents just added another bundle of joy to the house. FINALLY A GIRL!!! and lo and behold her name is FLASH!
(sorry this is so long, just wanted to share)
Wish I knew how to capture the screen so I could share photos
Jayjay -
This sounds like a bug that was present in earlier versions of the game. While in your game go to Menu and check the lower left hand corner of your screen, it should say "Version 1.00.0x". 1.00.05 is the latest version. If you have an earlier version you can talk to the vendor where you purchased the game to see if you can download the latest version.
If a woman who is nursing a baby dies, does the baby die too? (or vice versa) It's just a random thing I was thinking about, but if you know, please let me know!
One of my families (not my "main") had triplets a day ago! They are all identical girls, and their names are Poppy, Petal and Rose. I found it interesting that, Poppy seems to be the lazier of the three (even though they all have the same likes/dislikes; they all dislike dirt--ha!). Petal and Rose... I can't tell their actions apart; they are both hardworkers. :)
My main family that is on the 3rd generation had a 2nd child--a girl named Deb! But I think I will rename her something that matches better with "Sandry" (girl name btw). What name do you guys think will go well?
I also found it interesting that, of all of the generations, all the wives were brunettes/redheads and all the husbands were blondes! In the 1st and 2nd generation, all of the kids were either brunettes or redheads. However, in the 3rd generation, both of the girls are blondes like their father!
Hi everyone,
I've been playing my 3rd generation and was really getting frustrated because my bugs weren't showing up. Glad to see I'm not the only one with the same problem too bad there isn't a solution. Sometimes it helps when I
Turn day into night not sure it has to be raining though
I read the comments on making a latte and that is usually is around the same time they make breakfast, well i'm not an early bird so i
turned night into day in the beginning of the evening around 5.30 and they started making a grand latte
I really think it's a shame they don't make babies after 50 because i had 5 self-made babies and then they turned 50 and i could kiss my "having 6 babies" trophy goodbye.
Then I have a question it's been like 3 days since i last picked a weed, does anyone know how long it takes to grow a weed and if they sometimes just stop growing? never used a weedbomb, still trying to get the weed-whacker throphy
Would really like to see where in the world you all play the game, I'm from the netherlands so excuse me if my english is wrong sometimes.
to Pam and grinnyp: Your hints and help are awesome. I've read the whole 11 pages of this, just couldn't stop....
Really like the glow-mod!
BonM -
What level upgrade is your workshop? The higher upgrade level the workshop, the faster they will make the next level of their career. When people work on their career, their level goes up, so make sure you praise her (no more than 2 times) for working in the workshop. Sometimes the store will stock a book/magazine called "Workshop Professional". If you buy that and give it to her it will increase her work experience. And there is a random e-mail event that will move someone up a complete level, but it is unfortunately random and not something that you can make happen.
To grinnyp:
I am on level 7 and need the trophy for the workshop. My person is 67 years old. Like I said it can die at any minute so getting the trophy has to be rushed. I have been making my person work in the workshop over and over again. I just don't see the progress bar moving up. Am I doing something wrong? I make the person work as much as possible. Is there anything else I should try?

We've gotten two requests from guests this week for this recipe and it is so simple that I'm almost embarrassed to share it. This is for Bonnie and Nevada. I hope you enjoy making it at home!
I love grapefruit just as they are with no adornment at all, but to make them even better, I like to bake them with a little brown sugar and top with a dab of homemade cranberry sauce. It's simple yet elegant. Here's how.
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Line a metal baking pan with aluminum foil.
- Cut two grapefruit in half crosswise and trim the bottoms to make sure they sit flat and level in the pan.
- Section the grapefruit with a sharp knife. I highly recommend a two sided grapefruit knife. The double blade on one end cuts both sides of the membrane in one motion, then the scoop blade cuts the back and bottom for easy eating.
- Top each grapefruit half with 1 Tbs of brown sugar.
- For each half cut 1 pat of butter in half and place on top.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove to individual plates and fill the center hole with just enough homemade cranberry sauce to cover it.
Serves 4. See recipes below for cranberry sauce.
Two Cranberry Sauce Recipes- the Long and the Short Versions
I keep a jar of this cranberry sauce in my fridge, since we make this dish so often. I've never tried freezing it, but I can't see why not!
The Long Elaborate Version:
- 1 cup Ruby Port
- 2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 12 oz bag fresh cranberries
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/3 cut sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- orange zest to taste
- Bring port and cinnamon sticks to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
- Add dried cranberries and simmer 3 more minutes.
- Add fresh cranberries, water and sugar and bring to a boil, stirring.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer stirring often for about 20 minutes, until sauce is thickened and berries have collapsed.
- Discard cinnamon sticks and refrigerate.
The Short and Easy Version:
- Take 1 can whole cranberries
- Mix with a dash of ground cloves, ground nutmeg and ground cinnamon.
- Microwave on high for 2 minutes
- Refrigerate

What is throughput?
Throughput is the amount of data that can be transferred over your Internet connection at one point in time.
What are Mbps?
Megabits per second (Mbps) refers to data transfer speeds as measured in megabits (Mb). This term is commonly used in communications and data technology to demonstrate the speed at which a transfer takes place. A megabit is just over one million bits, so "Mbps" indicates the transfer of one million bits of data each second. Data can be moved even faster than this, measured by terms like gigabits per second (Gbps).
Why do I get different results when I run the test?
The test shows the current throughput you can get on your Internet connection. Factors such as network congestion and other downloads in progress can affect the available throughput.
I thought my broadband connection was faster?
The results of the test can be affected by any network congestion between you and our servers. If you have other downloads in progress this can also affect the results.
How do you know how fast my Internet connection is?
We calculate the speed of your Internet connection by calculating the time it takes to download a predefined set of data.
* Actual speeds may vary based on factors such as line quality, distance from exchange (for ADSL/ADSL2+), technology used, hardware capabilities, server route, and network congestion.
