UNCW Takes Early Lead, Wins Event Titles | ||||||||||
FAIRFAX, Virginia - UNCW jumped to an early lead on the men's side behind its record-setting 200 Freestyle Relay and the women are third with Carly Tanner winning the 50 Freestyle after the second day of the Colonial Athletic Association Swimming & Diving Championships at the McKay Natatorium on Thursday. The Seahawks lead host George Mason for the men's lead by 21 points while James Madison paces the women's meet. Defending champion Towson is second in the women's championship. UNCW's 200 Free Relay of C.J. Fiala, Nick Lowe, Stephen Conrad and Joe Gallene set CAA Championship and school records with a winning time of 1:19.80. The UNCW women's team placed second. Tanner topped the field in the 50 Free with a time of 22.78, narrowly missing the school record of 22.67 set in 2010 by former standout Caitlyn Kirsteier. In the men's 50 Free, UNCW dominated the finals, placing five in the top eight, including Gallene, who finished second. Also setting a school record was Michael Baric in the 200 IM. Baric broke the mark on two occassions on Thursday, including a third-place time of 1:48.90 in the finals. Libby Mayock gave the women valuable points with a second-place finish in the 500 Free. In Diving, JT Perryman earned All-CAA honors with a third-place finish in the 1-meter dive. The championship continues on Friday with the preliminaries at 9 a.m. and the finals at 5 p.m. Women - Team Scores Place School Points =================================================================== 1 JAMES MADISON UNIVERSITY JMU 269 2 TOWSON UNIVERSITY SWIMMING TOWS 191 3 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA W UNCW 153 4 WILLIAM AND MARY W&M 126.5 5 OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY ODU 110 6 GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY GMU 87 7 NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY NU 76.5 8 DELAWARE DEL 74 9 DREXEL UNIVERSITY DREX 41 Men - Team Scores Place School Points =================================================================== 1 UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA W UNCW 221 2 GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY GMU 200 3 OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY ODU 169 4 WILLIAM AND MARY W&M 157 5 DELAWARE DEL 123 6 DREXEL UNIVERSITY DREX 88 7 TOWSON UNIVERSITY SWIMMING TOWS 80 |

- Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) swung to a net profit of €134M in Q4 from a loss of €1.56B a year earlier, when the company took over a €1B in impairment and restructuring charges.
- Revenue dropped 4.1% to €3.93B, below forecasts of €4.18B.
- Adjusted operating profit €307M vs €115M, boosted by higher gross margins and cuts in fixed costs.
- Operating margin +5 percentage points to 7.8%, an improvement that the company expects to continue.
- Alcatel said it is on track to reach its 2015 targets of becoming cash-flow positive and sustainably profitable.
- Alcatel is in negotiations to sell an 85% holding in its enterprise phone business to existing partner China Huaxin after the investment company made a binding offer that gives the business an enterprise value of €268M ($362M).
- One question might be whether American authorities will approve the sale of the unit, which makes phone systems and other equipment for businesses, given the security concerns that the U.S. has over Chinese telecom gear.
- The deal is part of Alcatel's strategy to sell at least €1B in assets as it refocuses on its most profitable businesses.
- Alcatel won't pay a dividend for 2013. (PR)

- The reaction to Nokia's (NOK -9.4%) Q4 report is very different from the one that followed its Q3 report, as investors worry about a 22% Y/Y drop in NSN sales (follows a 26% drop in Q3) and a 320 bps Y/Y drop in the division's op. margin to 11.2%. Excluding divestments/contract exits, sales fell 15%.
- NSN's mobile infrastructure sales were relatively healthy, dropping 12% Y/Y to €1.56B after falling 26% in Q3. But its services sales fell 22% to €1.54B, nearly on par with Q3's 23% drop.
- NSN's sales fell 21% in Europe, 13% in the Middle East & Africa, 23% in Asia-Pac, 38% in North America, and 35% in Latin America. They managed to rise 2% in Greater China (lifted by 4G buildouts).
- Also: The Here division (mapping/location services) saw a 9% Y/Y sales drop to €254M, and the Advanced Technologies unit (patent licensing/R&D) saw its sales fall 20% to €121M. However, Nokia predicts the business, which could have more negotiating leverage following the Microsoft deal, will produce €600M/year in sales.
- Mobile infrastructure rivals Alcatel-Lucent (ALU -2.4%) and Ericsson (ERIC -1.9%) are following Nokia lower on a down day for equities. Ericsson reports on Jan. 30, and Alcatel on Feb. 6.

- Jefferies' Geroge Notter reports Infinera (INFN -11.5%) has lost a $100M Verizon contract for long-haul optical transmission hardware to Alcatel-Lucent (ALU +0.5%). Infinera was considered the favorite to win the deal, which will make Alcatel Verizon's second long-haul supplier. Ciena (CIEN +3.9%) is the other.
- Notter reports hearing "pricing was exceedingly low" for the deal, and that this, along with an intervention by Alcatel CEO Michel Combes, helped Alcatel win out even though Verizon's tech people are partial to Infinera's innovative DTN-X transmission platform (previous).
- Notter: "The anecdote serves as another reminder that the best technology doesn't always win in the Communications Infrastructure space ... Relationships and pricing can go a long way." Infinera is said to have invested heavily in trying to win over Verizon, which would have acted as a major reference account.
- Possibly motivating Alcatel to price aggressively: The company's optical transport sales fell 1.8% YY in Q3, and have been under pressure for a while. Alcatel reports on Feb. 6, and Infinera on Jan. 29.

- Three sources tell Bloomberg Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) is in talks to sell its struggling enterprise hardware/software unit to a group of potential buyers that includes Unify GmbH, a JV between Siemens (SI) and P-E firm Gores Group that provides unified communications products for businesses.
- The would-be buyers are said to be preparing second-round bids ahead of a possible March decision. One source thinks the Alcatel unit, which had 2012 sales of ~$1B, could sell for €250M ($343M).
- Reuters reported in November Alcatel, which has promised to shed €1B worth of assets by 2015, is thinking of selling the business. Last month, the company sold its LGS Innovations unit (provides networking hardware/software for U.S. federal agencies), for up to $200M.

- Mobile analyst Chetan Sharma estimates the average U.S. mobile user has consumed 1.2GB/month of data this year, up 74% from a 2012 level of 690MB. Meanwhile, average global mobile data consumption is pegged at 240MB, up 71% from a 2012 level of 140MB.
- Sharma also observes data consumption is considerably higher among certain demographics: Swedish mobile broadband subs consume over 7GB/month, and some U.S. Android devices consume over 4GB/month.
- Contributing factors: Surging smartphone penetration rates, rapid 4G and (in emerging markets) 3G adoption, growing sales of large-screen smartphones, and the popularity of mobile video services (especially YouTube).
- AT&T recently mentioned it's still seeing 50% Y/Y growth in data consumption per smartphone user.
- The U.S. has a major lead on many foreign markets in both smartphone and 4G penetration. Thus, the data consumption growth seen in the U.S., along with the capacity crunches and network investments it has spawned, could be a sign of things to come overseas.
- Companies that derive a large percentage of their sales from mobile infrastructure and/or carrier Wi-Fi spending: ALU, NOK, ERIC, ALLT, PKT, RKUS, UBNT, DRWI, CRNT.

- Alcatel-Lucent (ALU -1.3%) is selling LGS Innovations, a subsidiary that provides secure wireline/wireless networking hardware, network management/analytics software, and related services to U.S. federal agencies, to an investor group led by P-E firm Madison Dearborn for up to $200M in cash.
- Alcatel will be paid $100M up-front, and will receive additional payments (up to $100M) based on LGS' 2014 performance. The deal is expected to close in Q1 2014.
- The sale is part of Alcatel's efforts to unload €1B ($1.37B) in assets by 2015. Reuters reported last month Alcatel is thinking of selling its struggling enterprise hardware/software ops, and has hired Lazard to help find a buyer.

Tuesday, Dec 102013, 2:55 PM
- During a UBS conference talk, AT&T (T -0.5%) CEO Randall Stephenson promises his company will bring last-mile fiber services to markets other than Austin. AT&T has already responded to Google's Austin Fiber announcement by promising to offer 1Gbps services to residents, but has been light on details.
- Stephenson doesn't say where AT&T will offer similar services, but does assert "there are lots of other opportunities around the country," and that "the economics of fiber deployment are really starting to look good in communities like Austin."
- Any large-scale residential fiber rollout could require AT&T to ramp its capex, which the company has generally been loathe to do in recent years.
- Separately, Stephenson notes AT&T is seeing tough competition in the low-end mobile market; the carrier has lost prepaid share this year, though its Q3 numbers suggest it's turning a corner following the launch of its Aio and GoPhone plans.
- Also: In a comment that suggests AT&T (like Verizon) may need to step up its 4G infrastructure spending, Stephenson declares his company is still seeing 50% Y/Y growth in data consumption per smartphone user, thanks to heavy video use.
- With AT&T and Verizon ahead of many foreign carriers in seeing large-scale 4G uptake, their data traffic issues could be a sign of things to come. A pickup in mobile capex to address the issue would benefit infrastructure vendors Nokia (NOK), Alcatel-Lucent (ALU), and Ericsson (ERIC), as well as carrier Wi-Fi vendor Ruckus (RKUS).

- As predicted by many investors and analysts, Alcatel-Lucent (ALU +3.6%) is returning to France's benchmark CAC-40 index. NYSE Euronext says the telecom equipment giant will be added back on Dec. 23, and replace chipmaker STMicroelectronics (STM -1.2%).
- Alcatel, buoyed by a debt restructuring and improving margins, has made fresh 2-year highs today, and is now up 224% YTD. STM, which has been posting Y/Y revenue drops and contending with the unraveling of its ST-Ericsson mobile chip JV, is up 5% YTD, but well off its summer highs.

Friday, Nov 292013, 9:56 AM
- Nearly a year after Alcatel-Lucent (ALU +2%) was thrown out of France's benchmark CAC-40 index, analysts and fund managers increasingly think it's just a matter of time before the telecom equipment giant returns, now that a debt refinancing deal, job cut plans, and improving sales in certain business units have left it on much better financial footing.
- The NYSE-Euronext committee responsible for handling the CAC-40 is expected to meet next week; it typically judged eligibility based on a company's trading volume and adjusted free-float market cap. Reuters' data indicates Alcatel will have the 30th-largest free-float among French companies once a pending capital raise is finished.

- "Sources familiar with Nokia's (NOK -0.7%) plans" tell the WSJ the company "won't pursue an acquisition of parts of Alcatel-Lucent (ALU +0.5%)" after weighing its options. Nokia is said to have considered whether Alcatel's router and mobile infrastructure units would be good fits for NSN, but has chosen not to pursue formal talks for now.
- Reuters reported in September Nokia is "discussing internally" whether to pursue a tie-up with Alcatel. Alcatel shares have rallied more than once on hopes Nokia would make a bid for part or all of the company.
- Alcatel's routing division, which has been taking share thanks in part to a successful entry into the core router market, had Q3 sales of €580M (+7% Y/Y). The mobile infrastructure division, which has been seeing 4G strength and 2G/3G weakness, posted Q3 sales of €1.196B (+13% Y/Y).
- Nokia has limited product overlap with Alcatel's router unit, but enormous overlap with its mobile infrastructure unit.
- Previous: Nokia-Microsoft deal approved

- Cisco's (CSCO) dispiriting Jan. quarter guidance and Oct. quarter order data has produced an AH selloff in enterprise IT and telecom equipment names, as well as a couple of the companies supplying them. NetApp's below-consensus guidance might not be helping either.
- Cisco's slumping FQ1 service provider (-13% Y/Y) and emerging markets (-12%) orders are bound to fuel concerns about carrier capex and macro trends. At the same time, it's worth noting Juniper and Alcatel-Lucent have been seeing better router sales to carriers (though not to Asia), and that Huawei has been doing better in emerging markets.
- The rest of Cisco's order data for major regions and customer groups was relatively better, but not exactly encouraging. Americas orders -2%, EMEA -4%, Asia-Pac (hurt by emerging markets weakness) -9%. Enterprise orders +2%, commercial (SMBs) +1%, public sector -1%.
- Switch sales (31% of revenue) rose 3% Y/Y, while routers (17% of revenue) fell 1%. Collaboration rose 1%, and service provider video fell 14% due to set-top weakness. Cisco's ASR 9000 edge router line, which EZchip (EZCH) supplies network processors for, grew 20% in FQ1 vs. 43% in FQ4.
- Data center (UCS servers) had another strong quarter, growing 44%, but still only accounts for 5% of revenue. Wireless (dominated by Wi-Fi gear) grew only 8% after growing 32% in FQ4 (could be a negative for ARUN and RKUS).
- John Chambers was asked on the CC (transcript) if the NSA spying uproar was affecting Cisco. He admitted it's a problem in China, but denied it was a major issue elsewhere.

Terminal vs. Relational Thinking
The idea for this and several additional MMMs came from the book, Guidebook to Discipleship, by Doug Hartman and Doug Southerland.
In last week's MMM we talked about having a goal in life, which is to glorify God. The person who is effective in maintaining that perspective and vision is the individual who has learned to think relationally rather than terminally.
"Terminal" thinking is the process whereby activity and knowledge are objectives and ends within themselves. It is thinking that does not relate daily activities to a larger, overall objective. It tends to be thinking that is short-range, static, seeks to please others around them, and is controlled by progams. Terminal thinking is how most of us have been trained to think. Now, not all terminal thinking is "bad" thinking -- it's just not complete thinking.
"Relational" thinking, on the other hand, seeks to relate activities and knowledge to a specific objective. It tends to be thinking that is long-range, creative, seeking to please God, and uses programs to accomplish a larger or more comprehensive objective.
Here are some typical activities in which you may find yourself involved. After each activity is a typical "terminal" (T) and "relational" (R) answer to the question. Before you read the answers, answer the question for yourself. How would you score?
Jesus was a master of relational thinking. It can shift our perspective, making our everyday activities exciting, adventurous and life-changing. The time to begin is today.
Scripture: I Corinthians 10:31 -- "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
Action Point: Begin to develop the habit of thinking relationally rather than terminally. When you find yourself planning for or engaging in an activity, ask yourself the important question of "Why?"

Any thoughts on this --
I would like to rip up the carpeting on my stairs and refinish them to match the rest of the house. There are (old) rubber treads glued on to each tread. With the exception of sanding them off, which I would rather not do for health reasons, are there ways to get these off? Any chemical strippers for example?

Please Enter Your Comments Below
My Kindergarten Class
Hey Rob I am a substitute teacher and heard you talking about this video on my way to work so I decided it would be a great way to start the week for my class. I told them about the kids in the video and about the song and then let them watch it. They sat there and listened and smiled and laughed with the kids my favorite part was when the one little girl waved a little boy smiled and waived back at her. It was a great movie, it lead to a discussion about the masks, and hair, but also about what we are thankful for and how strong these students are for doing this video. Thank you so much for sharing the video. They even asked to watch it again during free time :) ~April

Start shopping for Father's Day this month at the City of Merced's semi-annual Surplus Property Sale. There are all sorts of items available for bid that will send that "I Love You" message to that special Dad.
There are TVs to bid on, DVD players, and lots of comfy chairs. And for that handy Dad, there are several pallets of "small engine parts," "wastewater treatment goods" or "police car goods." If you really want to impress Dad, bid on the nine cans of Sikaflex sealant. You know he will give you a warm "thank you" even if he doesn't know what to do with it.
Or you can go the traditional Dad route and bid on the pool table, the hoops game or air compressor that ever father needs.
There are also a variety of cars and pickups available. Before the vehicles can be registered, the winning bidders must get smog certificates.
There are lots of computers and laptops, but all of them are missing hard drives for security reasons. Scanners, printers and monitors also are available.

The Quaker United Nations Office (QUNO) has been named as one of the 100 most influential global actors in armed violence reduction.
A team of UN agency representatives has arrived in Sierra Leone to support gender equality and promote the role of women in peace building.
The idea of reconciliation has deep roots in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and other faiths, says the director of a new research programme on religion and peacebuilding.
Kyrgyzstan's government has fallen, its provisional rulers are untested, and there is as yet no sign of a lasting political settlement, writes John Heathershaw. Yet that does not mean it will automatically follow the example of neighbour Tajikistan and descend into civil war. Peace is difficult but possible.
MPs have left received wisdoms unquestioned in their latest report, which frames war-fighting as peace-building, writes John Heathershaw. This idea is quite modern and in keeping with the spirit of our post-colonial age. Yet its consequence is to mainstream peace-building as a strategy to extend world order without questioning the resultant injustices. There is an alternative.
"Some people think that peace-making is easy, but in my experience it requires toughness and resolution, as well as sympathy and integrity."
Forty pastors from five different tribes and denominations met for a peace-building seminar at the Eastleigh Fellowship Centre, located in a semi-slum area of Nairobi, recently. The centre facilitates church and community programmes.

Found February 14, 2013 on
Pro Football Zone:
Former New York Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum made an appearance on the NFL Network's NFL AM says that he wouldn't have given Mark Sanchez an extension if he knew he would turn the ball over so much. "I don't think I would have signed a quarterback to an extension knowing that he'd have 26 turnovers," Tannenbaum told "NFL AM" on Thursday, when asked about the gaudy new deal Sanchez received last March. "That might be one of the reasons I'm right sitting here with you guys. Not that this is not a great place to spend Valentine's Day." Tannenbaum felt like Sanchez earned the extension the Jets gave him. "My core belief has always been, let's try to draft as many of our good players as we can — the core — and sign them to extensions when it makes sense for both sides. So, D'Brickashaw Ferguson,Darrelle Revis, Nick Mangold. And again, here's a guy that beat Tom Brady in a road playoff game, beat Peyton Manning on the road — so these are not hopes, these are not p

Former British army agent inside the IRA has abandoned his legal battle over the newspaper publication of his photograph.
Peter Keeley had been set to appeal the dismissal of his alleged breach of copyright claim against The Irish News.
But the one-time mI5 and RUC informer, who uses the pseudonym Kevin Fulton, ended his challenge after a High Court security for costs application was brought against him.
The move could have resulted in mr Keeley being forced to lodge cash in court to cover legal bills had his planned appeal ultimately failed.
Lawyers for The Irish News were set to argue it is almost inconceivable that the ex-spy, now living in hiding, would voluntary pay any costs against him.
Papers prepared as part of their application stated: "It is respectfully submitted that he will take full advantage of his shadowy status to avoid any payment whatsoever." Mr Keeley had been seeking £5,000 damages for breach of privacy and copyright.
He also claimed unauthorised use of an unmasked, self-taken picture has exposed him to heightened danger.

CBO's Budget and Economic Outlook—usually produced in January each year and updated in August—includes projections of spending and revenues under current law over the next 10 years as well as an economic forecast for that period. CBO also typically prepares an update of its budget projections in March each year in conjunction with its analysis of the President's budgetary proposals. Those projections under current law provide the Congress with a benchmark against which to measure the effects of proposed changes in spending and tax laws.
Budget and Economic Outlook
featured work
The Budget and Economic Outlook: 2014 to 2024
Feb 2014 - Under current law, deficits will drop through 2015 but rise thereafter, boosting the already high federal debt, CBO projects. Economic growth will be solid in the near term, but unemployment will not drop below 6.0 percent until 2017.
The Slow Recovery of the Labor Market
Feb 2014 - Since the recession ended in June 2009, employment has risen sluggishly and the unemployment rate has fallen only partway back to its prerecession level. This CBO report discusses the reasons for the slow recovery of the labor market.
Choices for Deficit Reduction: An Update
Dec 2013 - Federal debt is projected to rise significantly over the long term. What policy changes could reduce future deficits and thus lower the trajectory of federal debt? What criteria might be used to evaluate those policy changes?

Nov 2013 - CBO projects that DoD's plans will cost 3.5 percent more to execute through 2018 than DoD estimates. Moreover, the costs of DoD's plans for 2014 through 2021 would greatly exceed the limits established by the Budget Control Act.
Long-Term Budget Outlook
Sep 2013 - Federal debt would grow to 100 percent of GDP by 2038 under current law, CBO projects, and would be on an upward path relative to the size of the economy—a trend that could not be sustained indefinitely.
The U.S. Federal Budget
Dec 2011 - CBO published an infographic that provided an overview of the federal budget in fiscal year 2011. The agency has released three additional infographics that provide a more detailed look at federal revenues and at mandatory and discretionary spending in 2011.

The Book of Daniel clearly proves the beast (antichrist) comes out of the ARAB kingdom rather than the Roman Empire (revived E.U.) as traditionally taught. Micah 5:5 even names him "the ASyrian", and Daniel backs it up! This is why Rome is NOT even mentioned one time in the entire book of Daniel. Please watch and comment on this video if you want to be Scripturally correct, rather than "traditionally deceived"!

BOSTON - Paul E. Jondle, 58, of Salem, N.H., was charged today in federal court with multiple counts of tax evasion and impeding the Internal Revenue Service.
The Indictment alleges that Jondle operated a Malden chiropractic practice called Future Health. Jondle used the names and tax identification numbers of licensed chiropractors working at Future Health for billing purposes, causing the insurance company payors to report the payments to the Internal Revenue Service as income to Jondle's subcontractors. In fact, the payments, mailed to Jondle and deposited into bank accounts that he controlled, were income to Jondle. From 2003 through 2007, Jondle deposited more than $3 million of insurance company payments to his bank accounts, yet he reported no taxable income for those years, and paid no federal income taxes.
If convicted, Jondle faces up to five years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz and William P. Offord, Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation - Boston Field Division made the announcement today. Assistance was also provided by the Massachusetts Insurance Fraud Bureau; U.S. Postal Inspection Service; and the Office of the Inspector General, U.S. Social Security Administration, Office of Investigations, Boston Field Division. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lori J. Holik of Ortiz's Economic Crimes Unit.
The details contained in the Indictment are allegations. The defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Carl Grubbs/Lafayette Gilchrist
Maryland Traditions in Jazz (self-released)
This collaboration between two of the city's finest jazz musicians grew out of their involvement in Maryland Traditions' Master-Apprentice program. The resulting disc showcases not only Grubbs's stellar sax playing—accompanied by Gilchrist on piano, bassist Mike Formanek, and drummer Eric Allen—but also a local jazz tradition that's spawned material by Eubie Blake, Chick Webb, Billie Holiday, and Albert Dailey. Grubbs wrings every bit of emotion from Blake's "Memories of You" and richly underscores the pathos at the heart of Holiday's "God Bless the Child." Equally memorable, his own composition, "Carl's Blues," swings mightily with a pleasing bounce that confirms Grubbs's "master" status.
Various Artists
Bach and Friends (Michael Lawrence Films)
Local filmmaker Michael Lawrence has put together this fascinating DVD about the music of Bach and its influence on contemporary culture. More than simply a Bach tribute, it takes a multi-faceted look at the composer's work through a prism of interviews with musicians, writers, and scientists. The likes of Philip Glass, Hilary Hahn, Manuel Barrueco, Béla Fleck, Joshua Bell, Bobby McFerrin, and Simone Dinnerstein talk about Bach's influence and perform a stunning array of pieces, as Lawrence's camera catches the nuanced power of their playing and their insights. For instance, McFerrin and John Bayless cite Bach as a genius at improvisation—a quality not readily associated with classical music—and that dovetails nicely with Uri Caine's perspective as a jazz musician. Then, Lawrence takes it one step further by getting Hopkins researcher Charles Limb to weigh in with a scientific examination of that improvisation. Thanks to such moments, the film sheds new light on Bach's transcendent music, and, at times—check out Bell's sublime performance of "Partita No. 2"—achieves transcendence itself.
Lizz King
All Songs Go to Heaven (Ehse)
I like to think of Lizz King as Baltimore's antidote to indie phenom Sufjan Stevens. Both songwriters conjure a shambling melodicism and neither shies away from the ukelele, banjo, and glockenspiel—with the occasional singing saw in the mix—but I'll take King's dusky voice and worldview over Stevens's precious musings any day. His otherworldly tunes become somewhat hellish with repeated listening, while hers are the inverse of that. Sounding like a Banshee-less Siouxsie, King invokes the noisy static of everyday life, stares down the roiling turmoil, and transforms it with cunning efficiency and creative bravado. As a result, her earthy songs are, indeed, heavenly.

Battle Red Blog is back to take a look at how the Texans' defense stacks up to the other AFC contenders as the 2012 NFL Season approaches.

As James Casey enters the final year of his rookie contract, we ask whether the Texans will bring him back in 2013.
Can the Texans move the ball against Baltimore's vaunted defense?

Dr. Coffee keeps up a constant batter as she inserts a needle into a TB infected lung, which has accumulated large pockets of fluid. She attaches a turkey- baster-sized, plastic syringe. The patients wince in pain. Some hold their nose. Coffee reassures them. Then she performs a thoracentesis (a procedure to remove fluid from the space between the lungs and the chest wall called the pleural space), withdraws the plunger on the syringe, closes off a valve, and empties the fluid into a soft drink bottle. She repeats the procedure, collecting 50 ml (1.5 fl oz) to 100 mL (3 fl oz) of fluid at a time, up to 1500 mL (50 fl oz) all together. Once the procedure is done, she removes the needle and bandages the site. Recovery is miraculous.
Working seven days a week, 12 hours a day, Dr. Megan Coffee directs a team of volunteer doctors and Haitian and American nurses who care for a vulnerable population in a country afflicted with the highest TB infection rate in the Western hemisphere. In two portable buildings and a tent surrounded by the ruins of Port-au-Prince, Coffee treats patients diagnosed with both HIV and TB. She -- and a constantly evolving staff of volunteer doctors and physicians -- save lives for pennies a day.

TB in Haiti and around the world
TB is eminently treatable and patients are almost always cured. It has all but disappeared from the rich nations but still plagues parts of the so-called Developing World to an extent that most Americans and Europeans would find astonishing. Today, TB kills around two million people, more adults than any other single infectious disease other than AIDS. It shares what Dr. Paul Farmer calls "a noxious synergy" with AIDS. An active case of AIDS often leads to a latent case of TB, and vice versa. In poor countries, TB is the most common proximate cause of death among people who died of AIDS. But because TB mainly infects the poor populations of developing nations, industrialized countries and pharmaceutical companies had for years lagged behind in their development of new technologies. There is no vaccine. Most TB drugs and diagnostic tools were developed a quarter-century ago.
TB vividly illustrates the massive gap between rich and poor. Improperly treated, or untreated, TB is a dreadful, deadly disease that eats away at lungs and often other organs of the body, including bones. About two billion people – roughly one third of the world's population – have TB bacilli in their bodies. Most Haitians are infected with TB. Usually the disease remains latent. Only about 10 percent develop full blown TB. But the chance of becoming ill massively increases among poor people afflicted with malnutrition, malaria, and AIDS in a country where public health had massively deteriorated under years of military rule.
Tuberculosis spreads easily. It feeds on the lungs and spreads through sneezes and coughs. Those who live in crowded tent cities, in peasant huts and urban slums, in shantytowns and prisons and homeless shelters, all have a good chance of inhaling the bacilli and developing infections that expand into an active disease, and on occasion receiving inadequate treatment that transforms their TB into MDR (multiple drug resistant), a scary form of the disease. MDR TB first appeared in Haiti during the years of junta rule, when therapy was interrupted by strikes, floods, violence, and abrupt closing of therapy, and it became impossible to even get the required medicines into the country. TB kills more adult Haitians than any other disease

A lengthy lineup of traditional game-day fare and a sports atmosphere captivate fans at Fox and Hound - Bailey's, where the kitchen remains open as late as its neighboring fully stocked bar. Chefs cook until the wee hours of the morning and always until the bar closes, baking Bavarian pretzel starters, crafting towers of onion rings, and preparing hand-battered chicken tenders that are cooked until they are golden brown. They blend their own seasonings to sprinkle over grilled-to-order burgers, and draw from a diverse roster of cheeses and toppings to crown their wood-oven-inspired flatbreads.
While manning the bars, bartenders tap into a stash of libations, such as UV Whipped vodka and Patron Silver tequila, to mix their specialty cocktails. To further foster a sporting ambiance, high-definition TVs glow with sports games and custom music-video playlists, and guests partake in pastimes of ump bashing, billiards, or competitive people watching.
All of Times Square Pizza's New York–style pies begin with freshly made dough. Then, a homemade pizza sauce rides to smother any blanks of the bready canvas, followed by toppings of pepperoni, bacon, green peppers, or olives. Aside from pastas and subs, customers can also pair up with drinks such as draft beers from a full bar.
A Wrightsville Beach staple, David's Deli & Restaurant has been comforting customers' bellies with hearty, country-style food for more than 30 years. For breakfast, the kitchen churns out omelets, warm waffles, and fluffy pancakes until 11 a.m. For lunch and dinner, the cooks whip up sandwiches—such as pizza cheesesteaks—pastas, and seafood, including creamy blackened-shrimp alfredo.
Diners gasp as fiery flames spring up from the tableside hibachi grills, but chefs remain calm and collected. Nimbly, they sizzle up tender cuts of steak, chicken, and lobster tail, their faces illuminated in the dancing flames. As hibachi chefs labor over grills before their captivated audiences, sushi chefs slice up fresh eel, spicy tuna, and salmon, and then fold the fish into a variety of traditional and specialty rolls. Servers bustle about the dark hardwood floors of the airy space, balancing trays of wine.
In the kitchen at Mario's Pizza, chefs heap cheese, steak, and sun-dried tomatoes onto oversize New York–style and sicilian pizza crusts. A white pizza covered in ricotta cheese, fresh garlic, and mozzarella reminds taste buds of eating a delicious snowman, and comes in sizes ranging from 10 inches to as large as 19 inches. Baked pasta and sandwiches, such as a philly steak or veal parmigiana, round out the menu.
For over thirty years, Great American Cookies has been sharing a generations-old family chocolate chip cookie recipe with the crumb-hungry masses. Each 16" round cookie cake serves 8–16 people and is baked fresh before being hand decorated by a talented cookie artist to match any holiday or special occasion, with a design made of rich, creamy frosting. Garner inspiration from the more than 30 categories of cookie cake designs posted on the company's website, or have an original designer dessert crafted to your specifications, ready to make a dessert-table appearance at a themed event, or to be framed and admired alongside your cherished Jacques-Louis David portrait of a napoleon crossing the alps.
