AUSTIN (KXAN) - The Formula One racetrack takes shape more each day east of Austin near Elroy. Race officials have posted race times on the F1 website, and race fans can plan on a full weekend of events come November.
Two 90-minute practice runs are set for the 5.5 kilometer (3.4155 miles) track on Friday, Nov. 16 -- one at 10 a.m. and the other at 2 p.m.
Saturday, Nov. 17, drivers have another opportunity to run practice laps at 10 a.m., followed by the first-ever qualifying race at the Circuit of the Americas track at 3 p.m. Official race time on Sunday is also 3 p.m.
According to information published on Autosport.com , the race track itself looks to be on target for completion in August. Work is being done on the site six days a week as the grandstands take shape and officials see their dream of a Grand Prix race in Austin get closer to reality.
The track is designed to have 133 feet of elevation change and 20 turns. The F1 website states that the master plan features additional visitor attractions, including a proposed driving/riding experience and seminar building, motorsports driving club, kart track and welcome center.
Prices for the U.S. race have not been posted. However, weekend ticket packages in Canada, for example, range from a low of $152 for a three-day general admission pass to a high of $657 each for prime three-day grandstand tickets. Lower-priced three-day grandstand tickets sell for $329. A single Saturday race ticket in Canada sells for $84 and Sunday's price is $115. Children's race tickets in Canada sell for just 99 cents for a general admission weekend pass. Prices are based on current conversion rates.
As many as 120,000 people are expected to watch 12 race teams compete, including:
For those who want to experience racing right on their computer desktops or mobile phones, F1's official race website offers interactive "live timing." That is, until the COA track opens in Austin and fans can experience the action in person.

Five volunteers listened to the calls to distinguish the matches.
Researchers found that dolphins that were familiar with each other for a significant amount of time would mimic the whistle of another in that group when they were separated.
Whistle copying was not found in dolphins that happened to cross paths in the wild, the report said.
"The fact that animals are producing whistle copies when they are separated from a close associate supports the idea that dolphins copy another animal's signature whistle when they want to reunite with that specific individual," Stephanie King of St. Andrews said in the press release.
Additionally, the mimicking is not frequent, the researchers said.
"Frequent copying of signature whistles would ... render the identity information of the whistle unreliable," the study said. "The rare copying of signature whistles may, however, be particularly suited to addressing close associates."
The whole vocal experience puts dolphin communication closer to that of humans than any other species, the report said.
"The bottlenose dolphin signature whistle stands out in that it is invented by its main producer and can only be shared by animals who had experience with the inventor. Besides humans, bottlenose dolphins appear to be the other main example of affiliative copying with such individually specific learned signals," it said.
Wells said it all makes perfect sense when the bottlenose dolphins are swimming about in the Gulf of Mexico.
"These animals are living in a murky, estuary environment. They have to maintain group cohesion and stay in contact with one another and coordinate their activities -- how do you do that when you can't see one another?" WFLA quoted him as saying.

Cowboys, Official Offseason Thread
Posted 10 January 2007 - 10:00 PM
By CLARENCE E. HILL JR.
IRVING - Mike Zimmer is leaving the Cowboys after 13 years to be the defensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons.
According to multiple sources, Zimmer has agreed to a two-year deal to head the Falcons defense.
Zimmer, who had been the Cowboys defensive coordinator since 2000, would only confirm that things were close as he was leaving the Cowboys Valley Ranch headquarters on Tuesday.
I am just trying to have a job, said Zimmer.
Considering his contract was up with the Cowboys and his uneasy place as coordinator of the teams 3-4 defense when his roots are as a 4-3 coach, Zimmer has ensured himself of a new job and a more comfortable situation in Atlanta.
He will be reunited with new Falcons coach Bobby Petrino from their days on the staff together at Weber State in 1987 and 1988.
I am not too surprised, Cowboys linebacker Bradie James said. I think he got another opportunity to do his own thing. We are going to miss him.
Said Greg Ellis, I am glad for Zim. Maybe he can get into a situation where he can be happy about what hes doing. Hes a good coach. I believe he is going to have success and I enjoyed my time with him.
Zimmer cant escape being linked to the Cowboys failures on defense in 2006. They Cowboys allowed 132 points in losing three of their last four games, as a defense that was expected to be the next Doomsday gave up too many big plays, couldnt rush the passer and couldnt get off the field on third down.
But whats also true is that Zimmer was making the best of situation he was forced into when Cowboys coach Bill Parcells changed the defensive scheme from the 4-3 to the 3-4 in 2004.
Zimmer, who shepherded the No. 4 and No. 1 ranked defenses in the league in 2001 and 2003 respectively, will run the 4-3 defense in Atlanta.
The Cowboys must now decide who replaces Zimmer as defensive coordinator. Its a question that is clouded by the uncertainty surrounding Parcells future with the team. Parcells is under contract through 2007. At 65, he acknowledges that retirement is a possibility.
If he comes back, look for either secondary coach Todd Bowles or linebackers coach Paul Pasqualoni to among the candidates head to the defense.
According to a source, Bowles would have been the choice last year if Zimmer, who interviewed to be the St. Louis Rams head coach, had taken another job.
Pasqualoni, who joined the Cowboys staff in 2005 after a run as the Syracuse head coach, has quickly become one of the most respected coaches on staff.

lorenzo, I can't add much to that at all. A.J. Hawk was taken earlier in the draft, but I have been told that Carpenter was the better all around LB. You're right, he looked like a seasoned vet against Seattle. If I can only name one thing the Cowboys need most, it's a pass rush. Whether they stay in a 3-4 or go back to the 4-3, they need a DL pass rush specialist....a la Charles Haley. Talk about someone who could control a game...man! I miss that a lot. I've always been a defensive guy. Our defense was ranked pretty high, then they fell off the map. Our offense was playing well enough to win, but the defense was giving up too many points...39 to Detroit really hurts. Miscues and reality checks played a huge part in the demise.well the first question is will parcells return? many have already chimed in on that regard here on this forum. But what do you all forecast for the boys. I think we could use a solid vet at F.S. obviously we need a 3-4 defensive coach, but the boys may just promote from within as parcells often does. Of corse you can never run out of linebackers. Having another massive N.T. to go along with Ferg. would be a huge + as well. The cowboys need stronger play from their front 7. maybe that means adding a few more players. Having Ellis healthy will hopefully help. bobby carpenter looked a lot better late in the year. I thought he was one of the best players on the field against Seattle.
Let's start a new season with Romo, draft some defensive help, hire a kickbutt DC, and hopefully Parcells will cut the strings on all his assistants and let them coach the game to their fullest abilities.
Oh yeah, find a quality backup QB because I don't think Bledsoe will stay around.

Ned, we have two pass rush specialists on the roster already: Greg Ellis and DeMarcus Ware. If those two are healthy, there shouldn't be any problem with getting pressure on the passer. It would be nice if somebody else would learn how to do it in case one of them gets hurt.
I agree about Carpenter. I liked the pick when they drafted him and it looks like he's gonna be a pretty good player.
The secondary is the real problem with the defense. Newman can cover as well as anybody. He's the only one. Anthony Henry is a joke. We all know about Roy Williams in coverage. Watkins has a lot of upside. Let's hope he improves over the offseason and we won't have to worry quite as much about Roy.
It would be nice if Bledsoe would stick around another year. Although from what I've heard, he isn't a happy camper and hasn't offered any kind of help or advice to Romo. He's about as good a backup as you could hope for though.

In My Opinion
Consider the case of Jerry Jones, a brilliant bidnessman who became a football idiot more than a dozen years ago, and to this day has never advanced beyond the first stage of recovery.
March of '94, the Jimster left town.
Football-wise, it has not been right since then at Valley Ranch, and the only large-and-in-charge constant over this long stretch of years has been... yes, Jerry.
True story. In my business, and just from a personal standpoint, you cannot help liking Jones. And I do like him. If you knew him, you would, too.
Give me a room full of the one hundred most devout Jones-haters in town, and then let me unleash Jerry on them. Guaranteed, that in about a half-hour, 90 of them would be yukking it up with Jerry like he was an old friend.
But football-wise, that changes nothing.
In this area, Jerry is now approaching terminal idiot stage. There is, apparently, no known recovery.
Jones' immense bottom-line success over the years should be a college business school blueprint for students.
But the football bottom line continues to be an ongoing bust. It's 13 years, and counting, with no progress, once the last remnants of the Jimster dynasty faded away.
Yet, even after this latest Cowboys failure, all we've heard so far this week at Valley Ranch is silence.
A head coach, we are told, is making up his mind about whether he wants to work for $6 million next season.
Amazingly, it does appear to be Bill Parcells' choice. I'm already on record as saying Bill wouldn't be back. So I could be wrong, although not necessarily about "shouldn't" be back.
For those who dread the turmoil of a coaching change, and the long process they think would be involved, how does that explain Sean Payton?
Last summer, Payton took over in New Orleans, and basically spent 28 days rebuilding the woeful Saints. He's now one win from the NFC title game.
For Parcells, there have been four seasons with the Cowboys, the last three of which have produced a combined record of one game under .500.
This season was lowlighted by a horrific December collapse. No coach should survive this, but the name is Parcells, and Jerry is apparently allowing it to happen.
Based on what he said postgame Saturday night in Seattle, Jones is prepared to pay Parcells six mil to come back, and then give another $7 million to the fool, Eldorado Owens, for his return in '07.
Which is the worst investment?
The answer is probably the $11 million Jones gave safety Roy Williams last year.
It might take at least another 11 mil, or probably more, to go sign a cover safety to play alongside Roy and hopefully restore Williams to his former self.
Parcells now has a defense that is shell-shocked and an offense that needs Sean Payton, but I guess it's too late for Sean, huh?
Meanwhile, let's not make a coaching change around here. It might be a "setback."
But as this off-season begins, Jones has two lightning rods in Parcells and Owens, neither of whom should return, although if it's only going to be one coming back, by all means, make it Parcells.
Jerry, however, is telling us he has the '07 welcome mat out for both. I'd say there's no way Parcells would agree to another season with Owens, but he did it once, so why not take the six mil and live with it?
Just another reason why this is NOT the Bill Parcells I thought the Cowboys were getting.
But allow me to also praise Eldo.
At 33, it's only about the money for a player with skills that are obviously eroding. Admittedly, no one is harder on Eldo that yours truly, but even I admit to shock about how far he has fallen from elite receiver status.
One NFL owner, and only one, will continue to pay him like a special player. That's our man, Jerry. Our football idiot.
Owens' game, or what's left of it, is all about the West Coast offense, which is not remotely close to how the Cowboys' offense looks. But Jerry gave Eldo 10 mil this season to underperform, to not be a game-changing receiver.
And now he will apparently reward Nine-Fingered Eldo another seven mil for next season in the same offense.
So Owens, knowing full well this is not his type of offense, gripes about not getting the ball enough, even when he's dropping balls all over the place, but he's still cashing in on the big bucks.
Owens is the winner here. Jerry is the loser. And Big Bill is the gelding.
Damnedest thing I've ever seen around here.
Jerry, luv you, man. But you, sir, remain a football idiot.

Coach wants more time to decide his future with team
12:38 AM CST on Thursday, January 11, 2007
By TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning News
IRVING Five days after the 2005 season ended, Bill Parcells signed a new two-year contract, but the Cowboys coach does not appear ready to make a decision on his future five days after the 2006 season.
According to sources, Parcells addressed his assistant coaches Wednesday about his future for the first time since the season ended, and said he would need more time to decide if he wants to coach again.
Parcells, 65, has one year left on his contract with the Cowboys and is scheduled to make $5.5 million. Contractually, he has to decide by Feb. 1. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones has said repeatedly that he wants Parcells to return for a fifth season.
In the past, Parcells said he has had to decide whether he has the energy to not just coach a 16-game season, but to go through the whole process of a season, such as preparing for free agency and the draft.
As Parcells continues to mull his decision, four assistants Bruce DeHaven, Anthony Lynn, Mike MacIntyre and David Lee are in limbo because their contracts will expire shortly. Other teams would need the Cowboys' permission to speak with them, because the team holds an exclusive negotiating period with the assistants even after their contracts are up.
Also, the Cowboys have to fill the defensive coordinator vacancy created when Mike Zimmer joined Atlanta's staff. The in-house candidates, if Parcells chooses to stay, would be secondary coach Todd Bowles and linebackers coach Paul Pasqualoni.

Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens underwent successful surgery Thursday in Miami to repair a torn tendon in his right ring finger.
Owens played the latter part of the season with the injury, even though he was told he was risking permanent damage.
He went to Miami for another consultation before having the surgery and was encouraged about making a full recovery.
"The doctor is very optimistic," Owens said from Miami on Thursday night. "I am happy I had the surgery. I am happy with the news he gave me that I will return to 100 percent."
Owens said his Miami doctor stayed in constant contact with Cowboys trainer Jim Maurer during the process and said they were on the same page.
Owens wouldn't put a timetable on when he will catch passes again, but said he will be ready for the 2007 season.
Despite catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-high 13 touchdowns, Owens remains troubled by his play during the 2006 season, including the 18 dropped passes and belief he wasn't utilized properly.
But his main frustration comes from how the Cowboys' season ended. Dallas went 9-7 before losing 21-20 at Seattle in an NFC wild-card playoff Saturday.
"I am sitting here watching a lot of basketball," Owens said. "I hate the fact that we are out of the playoffs. I feel bad about the season. I am just trying to get my mind away from everything right now. But I can't wait to get back on the field."
The question is whether he will be back with the Cowboys next season, considering his weekly penchant for drama in 2006. He is owed a $3 million roster bonus in June.
Although Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has repeatedly said he wants Owens to return in 2007, a final decision probably will not be made until coach Bill Parcells decides if he is going to return next season.
Parcells has told his assistant coaches he plans to take his time in the process. However, Parcells is expected to make a decision well before the contractual deadline of the first week in February.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he expects to have veteran receivers Terry Glenn and Terrell Owens on the roster next season.
Drew Bledsoe is another story.
"Well, I don't know that he'll retire," Jones was quoted Friday on the Dallas Morning News Web site. "That would surprise me. But it's probably not realistic to think that we could work something out here."
Bledsoe has two strikes against him. He is due a $1 million roster bonus in March and likely will count about $7.5 million against the salary cap should he return. Plus, the Cowboys have a promising young quarterback in Tony Romo, who directed Dallas into the playoffs.
Bledsoe, a 14-year veteran out of Washington State, has said that he would not want to end his career as a backup.
Bledsoe had seven touchdowns and eight interceptions in six games before getting benched.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens, who had successful surgery on Jan. 11 to repair a torn tendon in his right ring finger, apparently needs additional surgery on the same finger.
Owens told The Dallas Morning News for a story on its Web site Wednesday that he needs surgery on his fingertip. The second surgery, which is necessary to reattach a torn tendon, will take place in eight weeks, the Morning News reported.
In the day leading up to his first surgery, Owens didn't say when he would start catching passes again but vowed to be ready for the 2007 season. It is unclear if he will be ready for Dallas' minicamp in May.
It would be the third surgery involving Owens' right ring finger in five months. He had a plate screwed into the finger after breaking it while blocking in a victory over the Redskins in September.
Owens caught 85 passes for 1,180 yards and an NFL-high 13 touchdowns, but he was plagued by drops for a team that had a disappointing season. The Cowboys dropped four of their last five games, lost their grip on the NFC East and fell to Seattle 21-20 in a wild-card playoff game on Jan. 6.
The Cowboys face the question of whether to bring Owens back for the second year of his three-year contract. If they keep him, they'll have to pay him a $3 million roster bonus in June.
Posted 18 January 2007 - 10:48 AM
The last I heard, which so help me was no later than the day before, possibly yesterday, was that everybody between Owens, the Cowboys trainer and the surgeon said it was a success.
Oh well, if we have to put up with him another year, here's to a speedy yet safe and full recovery.

NFL.com wire reports
IRVING, Texas (Jan. 22, 2007) -- Bill Parcells could have returned to the Dallas Cowboys for one more shot at becoming the first coach to lead three teams into the Super Bowl.
He could have come back to try ending the longest playoff drought in the franchise's proud history. Or he could have come back to finish what he started in developing quarterback Tony Romo and a 3-4 defense.
Instead, 15 days after a gut-wrenching playoff loss in Seattle, Parcells decided to call it a career, ending a four-year run in Dallas. Over 19 seasons in the NFL, Parcells led teams to three Super Bowls, winning two championships.
"I am retiring from coaching football," Parcells said in a statement. "I want to thank Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones for their tremendous support over the last four years. Also, the players, my coaching staff and others in the support group who have done so much to help. Dallas is a great city and the Cowboys are an integral part of it. I am hopeful that they are able to go forward from here."
Bill Parcells' decision to retire came as a surprise to many.
Known for a gruff demeanor and colorful quotes, Parcells leaves with the ninth most wins in NFL history and a career record of 183-138-1. He was 34-32 in Dallas, counting two playoff losses. He had one year left at more than $5 million on a contract extension signed last January.
"I am in good health and feel lucky to have been able to coach in the NFL for an extended period of time," the 65-year-old coach said.
Although he failed to make the Cowboys champions again, Parcells leaves the Cowboys better than he found it. The club went from three straight 5-11 seasons before he arrived to making the playoffs twice in four years: his first season, 2003, and his last.
Parcells expected big things in 2006 and, thanks to the emergence of Romo, Dallas had a two-game division lead in December. Then the Cowboys lost four of their final five games, including the last three. The capper came against the Seahawks after Romo bungled the hold of a short field goal with a little more than a minute left.
"I did the best I could," Parcells said following that game. "But it wasn't quite good enough."
The going theory was that Parcells wouldn't end his career that way. The longer he waited to make an announcement, the likelier it seemed that he would return -- especially since he was going to his office every day.
Then came the statement via a morning e-mail. He didn't even hold one last news conference to entertain with old stories and witty lines.
"I will never leave this game with anything but good feelings about it," Parcells said during a Jan. 3 conference call. "It's been a great experience for me, and it's also been a lot of fun. I've met a lot of good people: players, coaches, owners, personnel guys, guys that I like."
Now team owner Jerry Jones will have to find someone o pick up where the Big Tuna left off. Jones was not immediately available for comment. The team said he, too, would be releasing a statement.
The next coach will be only the seventh in team history and the sixth hired by Jones.
He's given no indication of what kind of coach he'd hire next, always saying he wanted Parcells back. While Jones waited for Parcells to decide, four other teams picked new coaches and a fifth, Oakland, is well into its search.
Tom Landry made the Cowboys coaching job synonymous with winning during his 29 years, then Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer kept it up by combining to win three Super Bowls.
But the Cowboys haven't even won a playoff game since 1996, under Switzer. Chan Gailey, Dave Campo and now Parcells couldn't end the skid.
Jones hired Johnson and Switzer because he knew them and they were successful in college. Gailey and Campo were successful NFL coordinators who'd never been a head coach. Parcells was an easy choice once he decided to give up television and get back into coaching.
Jones could go for proven commodities like Tennessee's Jeff Fisher or Bill Cowher, recently resigned from Pittsburgh, but both would require compensation for their teams and massive salaries. He might also chase a big-name college coach, from Notre Dame's Charlie Weis, Oklahoma's Bob Stoops to Southern California's Pete Carroll, who replaced Parcells in New England a decade ago.
Jones also might pursue Chicago defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, or former NFL coaches like San Diego defensive coordinator Wade Phillips or San Francisco offensive coordinator Norv Turner. Turner would be a popular choice locally; he called plays for Dallas' Super Bowl team in 1992 and remains close to Troy Aikman.
All candidates will have to accept Jones being the general manager. That might have driven away others before, but four years of avoiding ego clashes with Parcells likely has changed his reputation.
The next coach also will face a decision of what to do about receiver Terrell Owens, who is due a roster bonus in March. T.O. certainly isn't Parcells' problem any more.
The first time Parcells walked away from coaching, his heart was an issue. The next time he supposedly was content that coaching was out of his system.
He turned down several chances to return before accepting Jones' offer. He said he took it because he liked the challenge of trying to make the Cowboys champions again, comparing it to playing on the main stage instead of being a lounge act.
After four well-paid years, Parcells could be serious about retiring this time. He's already built a home in Saratoga, N.Y., to spend his post-football days near his family and the racetrack.
Parcells' influence will remain because of all the coaches who worked for him, from three-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick of New England to New Orleans' Sean Payton, this past season's coach of the year. Tom Coughlin of the Giants and Romeo Crennel of Cleveland also paid their dues under Parcells.
"Bill's an excellent football coach and a very good friend," Coughlin said. "We're going to miss Bill Parcells on the sideline and we'll miss him in the NFC East. I look forward to the continuation of our friendship at a different level now. I think Bill's looking forward to having the opportunity to do some of the things he truly wants to do. I wish him well."
Parcells' specialty in football was defense. His greatest trait as a coach, though, was his ability to turn around downtrodden clubs.
All four teams he coached had losing records before he arrived, but all four were in the playoffs by his second season. No other coach has taken that many franchises to the postseason.

So why did they lie us??? How do they expect us now to trust them after all this?

Originally a small Georgian house built in the late 18th century, Farmleigh was purchased by Edward Cecil Guinness (1847-1927) on his marriage to his cousin, Adelaide Guinness in 1873. A great-grandson of Arthur Guinness, founder of the eponymous brewery, Edward Cecil became the first Earl of Iveagh in 1919.
Farmleigh, situated to the north-west of Dublin's Phoenix Park, was purchased from the Guinness family by the Irish Government in 1999. The house has been carefully refurbished by the Office of Public Works as the premier accommodation for visiting dignitaries and guests of the nation, for high level Government meetings, and for public enjoyment. It covers an area of 78 acres and contains many beautiful features including the Main House, which is a fine example of Georgian-Victorian architecture, the Sunken Garden, the Walled Garden, the famous Clock Tower and the Lake and The Benjamin Iveagh Library. The Benjamin Iveagh Library was amassed during the lifetime of the 3rd Earl of Iveagh, Benjamin Guinness (1937-1992). He was a very keen bibliophile and an astute collector of rare books, manuscripts and bindings. The collection amounts to over 5000 items and includes many highly collectable Irish books and manuscripts. The library holds some of the finest examples of Irish bookbinding from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The collection was donated to Marsh's Library by the Guinness family. Public tours are available for free Monday - Sunday (and Bank Holidays) from 10am - 6pm, provided the House is available and not in use by the Government as accommodation for visiting dignitaries. On occasions, Farmleigh House may be closed for State Purposes. Check website for updates.

REPORTS: Tigers to re-sign Anibal Sanchez
You don't want to get in a bidding war with Detroit Tigers owner Mike Ilitch.
Given the chance to match or beat the Cubs' best offer for Anibal Sanchez, the Tigers did just that, reportedly agreeing to five-year, $80 million contract with the free agent pitcher Friday morning.
There were multiple reports Thursday evening that Sanchez, the Tigers' trade deadline acquisition last July, had agreed to a contract with the Cubs, but that was before it became clear that he was giving the Tigers a chance to match.
They did just that overnight, reuniting the rotation that had been so stingy in the postseason, carrying the Tigers all the way to the World Series.
"Glad Anibal Sanchez (is) back with the Tigers," tweeted new teammate Torii Hunter Friday. "Congrats Anibal. Now lets go get that ring."
It may not have been the Tigers' top offseason priority — getting a right-handed-hitting corner outfielder like Torii Hunter was — but it was something the Tigers did feel would make them appreciably better.
"I know it's not going to be an easy pursuit by any means," team president and GM Dave Dombrowski said at the beginning of the offseason. "I'd love to have Anibal Sanchez back if we could."
Considering he was ranked by many as the second-best starting pitcher available in free agency — a status boosted by his 1.77 ERA in three postseason starts — they knew it wasn't going to be easy, and he wasn't going to come cheap.
"He's out on the open market, so God only knows how that will play out. It all sounds good, he likes it here, he wants to come back," manager Jim Leyland said. "Usually those pictures of dead presidents have something to do with that."
Sanchez had to wait for the free-agent pitching market to be set, and it was earlier this week, when baseball's newest profligate spenders, the Los Angeles Dodgers, lavished a six-year, $147 million contract on, Zack Greinke, the top pitcher available. Continued...
Thursday, it looked like the Tigers had lost Sanchez to another bidder, the Cubs. Among other national writers, USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported that the pitcher had agreed to sign a five-year, $75 million deal with the same Theo Epstein regime that had signed him for Boston as an amateur free agent in 2001.
Later in the evening, though, it became apparent that Sanchez and his agents from SFX Baseball — the same group that represents both Justin Verlander and Miguel Cabrera — were giving the Tigers an opportunity to match, or raise.
They did that overnight, upping the contract's AAV (average annual value) from $15 to $16 million.
But that courtesy wasn't a consideration they necessarily thought they'd get.
At the start of the postseason, Dombrowski had not thought it would matter that the Tigers may have had some sort of 'in' with Sanchez, especially if it came to a bidding war.
"Do I think it helps that we had Sanchez? My answer would be yes, but I'm also practical enough to know that in other ways, no, because when you get to this point, probably offers being equal, it helps you. Offers that blow you away, it doesn't really make much difference and really what ends up happening is you've been through this process before, it's the player's right, they can do what they want, you thank them for what they did and if they get an offer that you think, hey, how can you turn it down? You wish them well," the GM said in the days right after the World Series, when he reiterated that the Tigers would love to bring Sanchez back, but were comfortable going with what they had, if they couldn't.
"I'm not sure where it's going to lead with him but I do know that he's a very sought-after guy and people have to make their decisions on what they're going to do."
Turns out that Sanchez's chance to break the bank in his first crack at free agency also coincided with perhaps his best chance to win a ring.

Kareem Brown was one of several Bulldogs trying to keep the defense focused as New Albany struggled against North Pontotoc in the first half of their division contest Friday night. Fighting adversity, the 'Dawgs worked their way to a tie at the half and eventually the 48-26 win on the road.
Tyler Basil was named the Bulldogs' "Player of the Week" for the Oct. 8 game versus Itawamba.
Basil completed 9-of-18 passes for 156 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions and ran for 19 yards and another score in the Bulldogs' 48-13 win over the Indians. Pictured with Basil is NAHS head coach Ron Price. The "Player of the Week" is sponsored by Bancorp South.
New Albany makes a short trip to Ecru this week with the hopes of remaining undefeated and earning another division win.
The Urchins are on a roll, and their success this cross country season continued Monday, as East Union swept the Union County Championships.
New Albany's offense was a strong force in their 48-13 win over Itawamba, but the defense once again showed their strength while battling adversity in the first half.
Up 20-13, the Bulldogs' defense forced Itawamba to punt, but a fumble by Josh Creekmore set the Indians' up in the red zone with less than two minutes remaining. Back-to-back plays for a loss, including a sack by Luke Foley, sent the game into the half with New Albany maintaining their lead.
Two explosive innings in Game 3 ended a wild opening playoff match in the 2010 MHSAA Class 4A playoffs. Amory's explosion was a little louder and just enough to end New Albany's season.
Over nearly 5 1/2 hours, the Lady Panthers won the best-of-three playoff opener 5-1 in Game 1, lost 6-5 in nine innings in Game 2 and won Game 3 13-8.
New Albany's road to a potential division championship continues this Friday night with the Bulldogs hosting district foe, Itawamba.
After sparking the Bulldogs' second half comeback at Pontotoc last Friday, junior Josh Creekmore was once again named the Bulldogs' "Player of the Week."
Creekmore recorded 12 tackles and 89 yards in kickoff returns, including an 80-yard touchown return that led to 31-straight points by New Albany. Pictured with Creekmore is NAHS head coach Ron Price. The "Player of the Week" is sponsored by Bancorp South.
East Union picked up wins in varsity boys and girls cross country over the weekend, taking top honors at the East Union/Myrtle Challenge at the New Albany Sportsplex.
One play defined the Bulldogs' division opener, as New Albany fought from behind for a 31-10 win over Pontotoc.

redditor captainpixystick explains the Affordable Care Act to you like you're five.
Bob: Hi, insurance company. I'd like to buy some health insurance.
Insurance company: No. You had cancer when you were 3 years old, and the cancer could come back. We're not selling you health insurance.
Bob: It's not my fault I got cancer when I was three! Besides, that was years ago!
Insurance company: If we sell insurance to you, we'll probably lose money, and we're not doing it.
Bob: But I need insurance more than anyone! My cancer might come back!
Insurance company: We don't care. We're not selling you insurance.
Obama: Hey, that's totally not fair. Bob is right, he does need insurance! Sell Bob some insurance.
Insurance company: If we have to, I guess.
Mary: This is cool. Obama said the insurance company has to sell insurance to anyone who needs it.
Sam: Hey, I have an idea. I'm going to stop paying for health insurance. If I get sick, I can always go buy some insurance then. The insurance company won't be able to say no, because Obama's told them they have to sell it to anyone who needs it!
Dave: that's a great idea! I'm not paying for health insurance either, at least not until I get sick.
Insurance company: Hey! If everyone stops paying for insurance, we'll go bankrupt!
Obama: Oh come on Sam and Dave, that's not fair either.
Dave: I don't care. It saves me money.
Obama: Oh for god's sake. Sam, Dave, you have to keep paying for health insurance, and not wait until you're sick. You too, Mary and Bob.
Mary: But I'm broke! I can't buy insurance! I just don't have any money.
Obama: Mary, show me your piggy bank. Oh, wow, you really are broke. Ok, tell you what. You still have to buy insurance, but I'll help you pay 95% of the cost.
Mary: thank you.
Obama: I need an aspirin.
Insurance company: We're not paying for that aspirin.

Heart Problems: Living With an ICD
An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) helps protect you against dangerous heart rhythms. It's important to know how this device works and how to keep it working right. Learning a few important facts about ICDs can help you get the best results from your device.
You may have a device that combines an ICD with a pacemaker, which keeps your heart from beating too slowly. For more information on pacemakers, see Reference Reference Heart Problems: Living With a Pacemaker.
Key points
- Avoid strong magnetic and electrical fields. These can keep your device from working right. Most office equipment and home appliances are safe to use. Learn which things you should use with caution and which you should stay away from.
- Know what to do when you get a shock from your ICD.
- Be sure that any doctor, dentist, or other health professional you see knows that you have an ICD.
- Always carry a card in your wallet that tells what kind of device you have. Wear medical alert jewelry that says you have an ICD.
- Have your ICD checked regularly to make sure it's working right.
- It's common to be anxious that the ICD might shock you. But you can take steps to think positively and worry less about living with an ICD.

For the life of me I cannot understand why people have so much faith in Tanard Jackson and Brandon Meriweather.
I think we should aim to upgrade from both the FS and SS position. And mo neither TJ nor Brandon represent a large enough upgrade.
If Meriweather comes back in the offseason/training camp he can compete for a spot against the players brought via FA/draft.

Goings is currently leading a national effort to increase small business outreach and entrepreneurial training by strengthening the services provided at SBA's 68 field offices, 1,000 Small Business Development Centers, 350 SCORE counseling chapters, and 100 Women's Business Centers. This effort will ensure that SBA's field offices and resource partner centers are working in a coordinated manner to share and adopt best practices, reinvigorate marketing and outreach efforts, and increase small business job creation and competitiveness in the global marketplace.
Goings continues leading the Obama Administration's small business programs and initiatives in the four state northwest region of Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. In this capacity Goings promoted nearly $2 Billion in SBA loans and $9 billion in federal procurement contracts.
Before joining the Obama Administration, Goings served in key executive positions with the Washington Credit Union League. As Senior Advisor to the President and the Executive Director of the League's Foundation, Goings focused on supporting small businesses and emerging markets. Additionally, Goings headed credit union efforts to expand opportunities for women and minority owned businesses, supported new entrepreneurs incorporating sustainable business practices, and led youth financial literacy and small business development outreach efforts.
Prior to his work in the private sector, Goings served in elected office for nearly two decades, at the local level and as a Washington State Senator. During this time, Goings distinguished himself as a strong supporter of community development initiatives, a champion of workforce training and continuing education, and a regional leader in long term economic development planning. Mr. Goings has received numerous awards and citations for his years of public service including the Citation of Leadership Award from the Small Business Incubator, the Distinguished Service Award from the Washington State Patrol Troopers' Association, the Outstanding Citizen Award from the Washington Jaycees, the Legislator of the Year Award from the Washington Council of Police and Sheriff's Deputies, the Cascade Stewardship Award from the Cascade Land Conservancy, and Distinguished Alumnus award from Pacific Lutheran University. Most recently he was named one of the 40 Under 40 professionals in the South Puget Sound.
Goings has been involved over the years with numerous community and volunteer organizations, including the Tacoma/Pierce County Chamber of Commerce, Puyallup Main Street Association, Tacoma Urban League, Friends of the Pierce County Library, Tahoma Audubon Society, Boys and Girls Clubs of South Puget Sound, Pierce County Special Olympics, and the American Heart Association. A third generation resident of the state of Washington, Goings together with his wife Amy, and their seven-year-old son William, live on a small farm in the Summit-Waller neighborhood of Puyallup.

Harvard Kennedy School Receives Gift from the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences
Gift will advance Belfer Center's Middle East Initiative
Press Release, Harvard University Office of News and Public Affairs
July 13, 2012
Author: Doug Gavel
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Middle East Initiative
Cambridge, MA The Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS) has given $8.1 million to Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) to support the continuation of the Kuwait Program at HKSs Middle East Initiative. The gift will be used to develop leaders with the capacity to address the many challenging public policy issues facing the region. It will also fund research issues of vital importance in the region, such as education, energy, and water.
The gift extends a relationship between HKS and KFAS that began in 2000, when KFAS made a grant to support visiting specialists on the Gulf region, faculty research on Kuwait and the Gulf, customized executive education programs, and executive education fellowships. Since then, this program has provided support for 32 research grants; hosted visiting scholars on campus; conducted 13 customized executive education programs graduating 332 alumni; and granted 83 executive education fellowships, allowing participants from Kuwait to train not only at HKS but also at Harvard Business School, Harvard School of Public Health, and Harvard Graduate School of Education.
The current grant will support, over a period of five years, a number of initiatives, including a visiting scholars program; fellowships for students from the region interested in masters degrees in public policy or public administration; faculty research; and executive education fellowships in existing programs and customized executive education programs. It will help the Middle East Initiative, part of the Kennedy Schools Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, to further expand its support for research and leadership development in the region.
Through the Kuwait Program, the Kennedy School will deepen its engagement with the Gulf region and help educate leaders who will make a lasting impact in the area and throughout the world, says David T. Ellwood, dean and Scott M. Black Professor of Political Economy at HKS. We are grateful for the gift to support the program and the many vital projects it advances.
This important program will continue an ongoing relationship between the Kuwait Foundation and Harvard Kennedy School, says Adnan Shihab-Eldin, director general of KFAS. The program we are about to launch will build on previous success, expanding the scope to include a new visiting scholars program and fellowships for outstanding emerging leaders.
Nicholas Burns, Sultan of Oman Professor of the Practice of International Relations at HKS, says, We are grateful for the Kuwait Foundations confidence in our expanding Middle East program. This generous gift will broaden our capacity to engage in research, executive education and teaching on the Middle East and to bring leaders from the throughout region to our school. We hope it will also promote a much more intensive exchange among our students and the young people of the Middle East at a time of reform and hope in the region.
Harvard Kennedy School maintains an abiding commitment to advancing the public interest by training skilled, enlightened leaders and solving public problems through world-class scholarship and active engagement with practitioners and decision makers. The school offers the depth, reflection, insight, and excellence of ideas and teaching that can shape future leaders, affect public policies, and make an impact on people and their daily lives.

Richard Simmons, Gloria Gaynor, Blake McGrath Boogie Down For PMHF's Dance To Conquer Cancer
Put on your short-shorts and get ready to boogie - that is if you wanna have some fun on the dance floor for a good cause. Toronto's Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation (PMHF) has scored the inimitable Richard Simmons to lead its first ever Dance To Conquer Cancer fundraiser on February 12. That's in the afternoon, then in the evening, disco queen Gloria Gaynor will be the guest performer at the Boogie Nights fundraising dinner and dance.
"Our goal is to conquer cancer in our lifetime," PMHF president and CEO said in a statement. "We hope that our Dance to Conquer Cancer fundraiser will inspire those touched by cancer, while offering people a one-of-a-kind, engaging event using the elements of dance and disco! It's a great way to start off the New Year with some fitness and family fun and support for an important cause."
Taking place at the Paramount Conference and Event Centre in Woodbridge, Ont., just north of the city, Disco Days participants will move and groove to music from the 1970s and 1980s from noon until 4 p.m.
Simmons will lead an estimated 500 registrants to "Sweat to the Oldies" with his style of dancersize, while So You Think You Can Dance Canada choreographer Blake McGrath will lead a dance workshop and teach two disco dances for everyone to perform together.

Comments about Quill Brand� Compatible Brother� TN315BK Black High-Yield Laser Toner Cartridge:
Bought this cartridge and installed it yesterday. Cartridge was bad. Machine kept asking to replace it and it was leaving gray dots and streaks on the documents. However, called Quill and they arranged a UPS pickup of the cartridge and upon receipt will credit my account for the cost of the bad cartridge. Customer service person was very apologetic and helpful. If you buy remanufactured, would recommend buying two at a time in case one is bad so you are not left without a working cartridge as I was. Had to run to local office supply store and buy an "emergency" until my next Quill delivery arrives. Would buy again, despite the issue I had as remanufactured cartridges are generally good. Just happened to get a bad one.

Here's an escape from the city that's well worth looking into. Or out from. Take a look at the new Affinia Shelburne (formerly the Shelburne Murray Hill). It's still Murray Hill, one of the coolest and most convenient of Manhattan neighborhoods. But now it's brighter, bolder, more in tune—thoroughly renovated and ready to dazzle.
We are happy to announce Affinia Shelburne will be hosting a new Wine Hour in the lobby, Monday - Friday from 5 - 6 pm. This new wine happy hour in NYC will allow you to mix and mingle with fellow guests and our management team, while enjoying complimentary red or white wine.
With 325 brand new guest rooms and suites, the Affinia Shelburne's unique design offers travelers a place to connect with friends, family or colleagues. Rooms feature eclectic décor, flat-screens and giant mirrors. Sleek kitchenettes or minibars and bright, new bathrooms. Looking for a view that could inspire dreams of Empire? Check out our select group of Terrace Suites.
At street level, Rare Bar & Grill serves up one of the best burgers you've ever tasted. In fact, they kind of started the whole Nouvelle Burger Renaissance or whatever you want to call it (Just ask a local.). Oh, and they do room service too.
Rumor has it that Fred Astaire loved to play the rooftop miniature golf course back in the day. Today, it's our rooftop lounge, Rare View, with bar beds, private party space, your favorite adult beverages, and did we mention the views? Like you're on a chessboard between two queens: the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building (Sorry, the mini-golf is long gone.).
Comfort by design. Like every Affinia hotel, Affinia Shelburne offers an experience in total comfort, customized by you. Before you lay down your head, lay your eyes on our six-choice Dream Pillow Menu. Get out and about with confidence with one of our complimentary Experience Kits. After you unpack, unwind with a SPAffiniaSM in-room spa treatment.
Feel like strumming a guitar, swinging a golf club, splashing with a rubber duckie (We won't tell.)? Surround yourself with stuff you like—that's the whole idea behind My Affinia. Choose the custom comforts that make your stay uniquely yours.

Spectral scan of Bio-Rad's standard cuvette. Disposable cuvette performance specifications were obtained using a Beckman DB spectrophotometer, empty cuvette vs. air path, a tungsten lamp, a standard photomultiplier, and a standard slit program.
Bio-Rad's disposable cuvettes are molded from polystyrene, making them ideal for use with the Bio-Rad protein assay, the DC protein assay, and the RC DC protein assay. The cuvettes adsorb less Coomassie blue dye than glass cuvettes and much less than quartz cuvettes. Assays can be mixed directly in the cuvette and the volume of reagents can be cut in half, yielding twice as many assays per kit.
Bio-Rad's standard disposable polystyrene cuvette holds up to 3.5 ml, allowing assays to be mixed directly in the cuvette. The 1.5 ml semimicrovolume disposable polystyrene cuvette is ideal for working with smaller volumes.
Both standard and semimicrovolume cuvettes are sized to fit most spectrophotometers. The cuvettes have smooth optical surfaces for consistent and accurate readings and the nonoptical walls are grooved for an easy grip and to provide orientation.

A sign on the back of a truck advertises job openings at a truck stop Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012, in Atlanta. Even amid a struggling economy with high unemployment, trucking companies had a tough time hiring young drivers willing to hit the road for long hauls. Now the U.S. is speeding toward a critical shortage of truck drivers in the next few years as the economy recovers and demand for goods increases, an expert in the inner-workings of supply chains said in a report Tuesday.
Tribe Transportation is a growing company that just added 10 new trucks to its tractor-trailer fleet. The problem has been hiring people to drive them. So far the Georgia-based company has filled four of the jobs, leaving six vacancies. The new hires are mostly veteran truckers in their 50s, men who probably won't spend too many more years behind the wheel, said Matt Handte, Tribe's executive vice president for sales and operations,
