Watching TV On Your PC
Watching TV On Your PC
Are the days of the television numbered? Hey, let's face it, we've all got at least a couple of them around the house, but these days watching television on your television is getting to be a bit "old hat", because the people in the know are just using their PC's. We're not talking just the odd video download, we're talking every kind of television programming imaginable via the Internet.
So how do you go about it? Can anybody do it? What do you need?
Watching TV On Your PC
Internet connection – to be quite frank, the faster the better. Although the average broadband speed in the United States is somewhere in the region of 3.9 Mbps (which incidentally will work) if you have a faster connection it will be even better, especially for such services as Netflix. If you're seriously interested in watching the television on your computer, this is the first thing to check out – the speed of your broadband, and upgrade if necessary.
Computer - OK, now that you've sorted out the broadband speed, you'd better make sure that your PC is up to the job. It's a bit like the internet connection really, the bigger the better. You will be able to get some TV on a lower powered netbook but for improved picture quality you need to have at least a Core2 Duo with 4 GB of memory. If you have a larger memory coupled with a faster processor you'll have a much more enjoyable viewing experience, with better picture quality and smoother playback.
Dongle - what on earth is a dongle? OK, to give it a full title you need a USB tuner dongle, which will connect your PC to your regular over-the-air antenna or cable box and magically transform your computer into a TV, Computer and DVR. Just one dongle can do all that? Amazing. You'll soon be able to not only watch live TV programs but also record shows and port stuff via iTunes and sync it with your iPhone or iPad.
Aggregator - next you need an aggregator. I know it all sounds complicated but it really isn't, the aggregator is something like Boxee, Plex or XBMC. You should take the plug-ins which have the sort of stuff you particularly like to watch.
All you have to do next is to put your old TV in the local "for sale" ads and off you go.

It all comes back to the past. Fairly or unfairly Munchie Legaux is going to be graded on a much steeper curve than Brendon Kay is. Not with the new coaching staff, obviously, but with the fans who packed Nippert Stadium today. The groan was audible on Munchie's first interception, which looked like many of his interceptions from a year ago, a pass that came off his hand with a very low trajectory, tipped by one defensive end, caught by the defensive tackle. Really it was a carbon copy of his interception from a year ago against Virginia Tech. With that play twitter erupted with vitriol, the message boards got lit, and a meme was coined.
#MunchieGonnaMunchie indeed. But after that initial mistake Munchie was fine. He wasn't great, but he was fine. UC can win alot of games with the QB playing fine with this defense. All he has to do is limit his mistakes, which he did for the most part, outside of one terrible decision and a tipped pass. His mechanics are still wonky, but he has noticeably shortened his release and improved his footwork. He is more accurate than before, even if his decision making is head scratching.
What no one knows is the actual state of Brendon Kay. Everything I have heard suggests that he is perfectly healthy, and he looked it the one time he was allowed to uncork a deep pass. But Munchie drew the start, played the majority of the snaps. I still think the ceiling of this team is higher with Kay, and Eddie Gran has to know that.
There is a groundswell of support for someone other than Munchie Legaux to start, and it's not going anywhere. There is a sizable portion of the UC fanbase that places the blame for the losses to Toledo and Louisville on Munchie, and Munchie alone. That is patently absurd, single players don't win or lose game in all but the most remarkable performances. But those who believe it do so to their very core.
I get that, after all Munchie started last year in similarly thrilling fashion only to slowly melt down in October. But Munchie feels different this year. All of the components are still the same, but they come together in a way that is undeniably different. Munchie Gonna Munchie.

African Story won the $10-million Dubai World Cup on March 29 at Meydan Race Course. (Photo by Dubai Racing Club)
A top-notch day of racing around the world started early Saturday morning in the United States as the Dubai World Cup meeting's first Thoroughbred race of the day went off at 9:10 a.m. ET. There were some surprise winners and some favorites who made their way to the winner's circle during the world's richest day of racing.
African Story came into the final race of the night best known as the 2012 Godolphin Mile winner. He left the racetrack at Meydan on Saturday a Dubai World Cup victor.
African Story had a dream run from the start, finding a spot on the rail early on. He raced in third behind Mukhadram until the field turned into the stretch. Silvestre De Sousa took African story to the outside of Mukhadram as soon as they were clear of the field and the pair battled briefly in the stretch, but African Story kicked away for a comfortable win in the $10-million race.
The winner was the key to an Al Maktoum family trifecta as African Story runs for the family's Godolphin Racing operation and Mukhadram, who finished second, runs for Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum. Third-place finisher Cat O'Mountain rounded out the Al Maktoum top three. He is trained by the recently added Godolphin trainer Charlie Appleby.
"It was great. It's just an amazing feeling and proves that he is the best," African Story's jockey De Sousa said after the race. "We did it. It's the whole team. It's Saeed [bin Suroor, the gelding's trainer] and Brian, the assistant trainer, the [exercise] riders, everyone involved. It's just crazy … just the story. We had a few hard luck races early on but he just saved the night."
Photo by Dubai Racing Club
African Story has only run twice since competing in last year's Dubai World Cup, in which he finished fifth. He finished second to Prince Bishop in his first start back earlier this year and then eighth in his last race after hitting his head on the starting gate at the break.
Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has been involved with African Story since the horse was born. His Darley stable bred the gelding and he is one of the owners involved with Godolphin.
After its big night in Dubai, Godolphin Racing may have more to cheer for later today as it owns a majority interest in Cairo Prince, one of the favorites for the $1-million Florida Derby.
Toast of New York coasted to victory in the UAE Derby on March 29 at Meydan. (Photo by Dubai Racing Club)
While Toast of New York flew under the radar going into the United Arab Emirates Derby, the colt took home the victory and gave jockey Jamie Spencer his second win of the night.
Toast of New York blew by the competition in the stretch from midpack to win the race and provided trainer Jamie Osborne with his first winner with his first starter at the Dubai World Cup.
Toast of New York raced right behind the leader for most of the race with Spencer sitting cool on the horse. When the horses neared midstretch, Spencer asked his mount to go and Toast of New York showed amazing acceleration to pull away to a 2 ½-length victory.
When asked about going to the Kentucky Derby - Toast of New York earned 100 points toward the Kentucky Derby - owner Michael Buckley didn't have any concrete plans for the Triple Crown-nominated colt.
"We entered him in the Triple Crown a long time ago, so it will be a thought. But I have no idea what we'll do," he said.
Asmar was second and Emirates Flyer finished third. Giovanni Boldini, second in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, finished fourth.
One year after finishing second in the Dubai Sheema Classic, Gentildonna avenged that loss by winning this year's edition of the $5-million race.
Gentildoinna was in the second pack of the field nearing the far turn. Ryan Moore started to ask Gentildonna to move toward the front of the field, coming off the rail and going between horses.
In the stretch, it looked like Gentilladona might not get out from behind the leaders in time when a few openings closed in front of her, but once Moore took her to the outside of Cirrus des Aigles, she unleashed a powerful rally to get the win.

Cirrus des Aigles finished second and Ambivalent rounded out the top three. U.S. runner Twilight Eclipse finished off the board.
This takes the Japan wonder mare's record to nine wins in 15 starts. She posted her second win since finishing second last year in the Sheema Classic.
One of the most competitive and highly anticipated races of the night, the Dubai Duty Free drew some of the best horses of the world and Just a Way proved to be the very best of them.
Just a Way dropped back early in the race, content to let most of the field get ahead of him. He moved up on the outside and after getting a clear path and then looked like he was shot out of a cannon.
The horse literally blew the competition away by covering the 1 1/8-mile distance in a time of 1:45.52 to shatter Sajjhaa's previous course record of 1:47.93.
The official margin of Just a Way's victory was 6 ¼ lengths.
Previously unbeaten Vercingetorix finished second, and last year's U.S. champion turf female Dank was third.
The first Thoroughbred race of the day saw South Africa strike first when Variety Club prevailed in the Godolphin Mile from the front end.
Variety Club broke from post position 15 and shot across to the rail in the early stages of the race to take the lead. It was all easy sailing from there, as Variety Club never was seriously challenged. He beat fellow South African Soft Falling Rain, who won this race last year, by a length. Breeders' Cup winner Flotilla was impressive coming from behind to get involved in a photo with Soft Falling Rain and only lost second by a nose.
The reigning South African Horse of the Year had his nine-race winning streak snapped in the local prep for this race when Shuruq beat him by three-quarters of a length, but Variety Club was much the best in the Godolphin Mile.
Variety Club will make his next start in the Hong Kong Mile while Soft Falling Rain will be going back to Europe, where he ran last season.
The upset of defending winners continued in the Dubai World Cup when Certerach narrowly defeated Calvaryman in the 2-mile Dubai Gold Cup.
Certerach was in the second half of the field throughout the early running and made the lead in the stretch. However, when Certerach reached the lead, he drifted to the rail and it looked for a moment that he impeded race favorite Calvaryman, who finished second by a neck.
There was a brief objection at the end of the race from Cavalryman's jockey, but after a few minutes Cavalryman's trainer Saeed bin Suroor withdrew his jockey's objection and Certerach was officially given the win.
Star Empire finished behind the top pair in third.
Certerach's winning time of 3:23.14 for the 2 miles made it the fastest in Dubai Gold Cup history.
Amber Sky blasted out of the starting gate in the Al Quoz Sprint and led from start to finish to win by a neck in the $1-million turf sprint.
The race, held on the straight on the turf course, was the perfect run for the Hong Kong-based horse as he quickly seized command and held the advantage every step of the way. Jockey Joao Moreira set it up so race favorite Shea Shea would have to challenge his mount from the left, which is known as Shea Shea's weaker side.
The win was Moreira's first win on Dubai World Cup night.
Ahtoug finished second and Shea Shea, who won this race last year, finished third. American-based Berlino Di Tiger looked like he might make a bid for the win at midpoint in the race but faded to finish off the board.
Hong Kong got another win on Saturday when Moreira won his second race in a row on Sterling City in the $2-million Dubai Golden Shaheen.
Americans had cause to be hopeful that the country might get a win on the card when Zee Bros took the early lead and held it into the stretch of the six-furlong race. Rich Tapestry took command from him for a short run, and from there on out it was Sterling City, who had stalked Zee Bros from the rail in fourth before going a few paths out to get the lead in the late stretch. Hong Kong completed an exacta as Rich Tapestry held on for second.
America was represented in the top three however as United Color is a son of U.S. Horse of the Year Ghostzapper out of a Langfuhr mare and was bred by Adena Springs in Kentucky.

DALLAS – The Dallas Independent School District is not among the 16 applicants that won millions of dollars of federal grants under the Obama administration's Race to the Top program, the U.S. Department of Education announced Tuesday.
The district, the second largest in Texas, announced it was a finalist for more than $30 million at the end of November. The 16 winners will all share $400 million, with each receiving four-year-awards of between $10 million to $40 million.
Dallas wanted to use the money to bolster attendance and graduation rates in schools located in the southern and western sectors of the city; namely, Pinkston and Lincoln High Schools, along with other campuses that teach students who will eventually enroll there.
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan stood alongside Superintendent Mike Miles, Mayor Mike Rawlings and Board of Trustees President Lew Blackburn at Pinkston to announce that Dallas was a finalist.
Race to the Top is President Barack Obama's signature education reform policy and has faced controversy among Texas politicians, especially Gov. Rick Perry, who called it "irresponsible."
In 2010, Perry tried to block the state from seeking the federal money, however Duncan said he supported revising the rules so individual districts could compete for the funds despite the governor's resistance.
Independent peer reviewers judged each of the 372 applicants. Each had to show how the district would use the grant money to better personalize education for its students and how to increase resources to boost teacher effectiveness and accountability.
While Dallas lost out, there were two winners in Texas. Harmony Public Schools, an Austin-based charter school program with K-12 locations across the state, was one of the 16 awarded with federal funds. Seven Harmony schools, including the Harmony Science Academies in Fort Worth and Dallas, were named among Newsweek's annual America's Best High Schools list.
IDEA Public Schools, a charter school network of tuition-free K-12 campuses through the Rio Grande Valley along with Austin and San Antonio, was awarded $29 million over the next four years.

Officials found nothing harmful after investigating a report of a suspicious package Friday afternoon at the James R. Thompson Center downtown.
Someone called police about 12:25 p.m. to report a suspicious package at the building in the 100 block of West Randolph Street, police News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada said.
Nearby streets were closed to traffic as authorities investigated, Estrada said.
Police had said authorities would evacuate the building. However, an employee who works in the building said workers in her office were told to stay in place, and that no one was allowed back into the building.
Investigators cleared the building by about 2:45 p.m. and nothing harmful was found, police said.
Trains on the CTA's Blue, Brown, Green Orange, Purple and Pink lines temporarily bypassed the CTA's Clark/Lake station, which is partially located in the building. Those lines are running normally against as of Friday afternoon.

White Melt and Pour Soap Base - Terrific for creating your own soap without the wait involved with Cold Process. Melt and pour soapmaking also allows for a wide range of creativity. This is opaque (white) - you cannot see through it. The same high quality as our other melt and pour bases.

Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Safflower Oil, Glycerin (kosher, of vegetable origin), Purified Water, Sodium Hydroxide (saponifying agent), Sorbitol (moisturizer), Sorbitan oleate (emulsifier), Soy bean protein (conditioner), Titanium Dioxide (mineral whitener used in opaque soaps)

|Mt. Lebanon Mother Defends Freedom of Speech
Arrested, Jailed, & Fined
|Bryan - "My girlfriend, Julie, was just pleading her case to the "Judge" on her rights, freedom of speech, &
mentioned the Constitution... I was in shock & upset... Julie was arrested & escorted off as I was left to gather
her things. I did get to say goodbye & tell her that I loved her as the elevator doors closed. I haven't seen her
since January 16th & miss her very much. She has called almost daily & has met other victims of our "Justice
System"... they give her messages to pass to me that I pass on to their loved ones" ... Like Bryan, most people
are left in the dark as to what is happening to their loved ones while incarcerated in the Allegheny County Jail.
"She tells me it is horrible inside there... Why is she locked up for defending her Freedom of Speech? Just
because another person "disagreed" and was "offended" by what Julie had to say...
|That gave the "Judge" the right to jail her for 30 days & fine her on top of that? Something is wrong in "The System" where you can just be
arrested & jailed for talking, for just talking."
Since being jailed Julie has shared some of the stories from inside the Allegheny County Jail. To Ed - Honey, I am okay...right now they
have me in lock down. I love you and the boys! Make sure Steven gets his medicine & clean clothes. Please I want a visit...come see me,
Ed & my boys also Caitlyn & Jeff. Can you put more money on my books? Thank you & all my love - Kym "The Corrections Officer in
charge locked all of us in while she watched some video music award show. There were over a 100 inmates locked in... We watched as
she danced in her chair to the music. She locked us in so she could watch a tv show?! These are not professionals."
As I find out more & more about the "Justice System" here in Allegheny County I begin to realize that it is no longer about justice... It's about
money. The Judges, police, law makers, lawyers, clerks, guards, & pharmacy industry (surprised?) are all in on it. Job Security! First
create a law that citizens will definitely commit... (example: Using "Swear" Words in Public) Thinking & believing, as many Americans
would, that our 1st Amendment right to freedom of speech is applicable anywhere... YOU ARE MISTAKEN! Prepare yourself, your
family, & your friends to a new way of life where freedom is disappearing for a replacement of "Big Business" & Governmental Control. All
in the name of "safety & security" Me I'll keep my freedom. While Julie waits in jail, Bryan waits & is sometimes seen parked outside the
Allegheny County Jail... "I promised her if I wasn't with her that I'd always be close by."

Welcome to the Asia Council
Asia is an important area of the world in terms of population, economics, politics, and culture. This is a region that has become more important for the United States in the recent decades because of its prominence in the global economy. In addition, we recognize the humanistic, artistic and scientific contributions of Asian societies to world civilization, and the contribution that Asian immigrants have made in the development of the United States.
Furthermore, Asian Americans have made significant economic and cultural contributions to the state of Georgia, and Asian immigrants, the children of Asian immigrants, and Asian non-immigrants (i.e. visa students) comprise a substantial segment of the University System of Georgia student population. The Asia Council seeks to promote scholarship, research, and direct experience for the students and faculty of the University System of Georgia through opportunities to study and teach abroad, and through sponsorship of events which highlight "Asia" in Georgia.

Nuclear Security:
Better Oversight Needed to Ensure That Security Improvements at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Are Fully Implemented and Sustained
GAO-09-321: Published: Mar 16, 2009. Publicly Released: Apr 15, 2009.

In April 2008, the Department of Energy's (DOE) security inspection at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) found significant weaknesses, particularly in LLNL's protective force's ability to assure the protection of weapons-grade (special) nuclear material. LLNL is overseen by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a separately organized agency within DOE, and managed by a contractor. NNSA is planning to remove most of the special nuclear material from LLNL. GAO was asked to (1) characterize security deficiencies identified in the 2008 inspection; (2) determine the factors that contributed to these deficiencies; (3) identify LLNL's corrective actions to address security deficiencies; and (4) assess LLNL's plan to permanently remove the riskiest special nuclear material from its site. To conduct this work, GAO visited LLNL, reviewed numerous documents and plans, and interviewed LLNL and NNSA security officials.
DOE's Office of Independent Oversight found numerous and wide-ranging security deficiencies with LLNL's safeguards and security program. DOE gave the laboratory the lowest possible rating in two security areas: protective force performance and classified matter protection and control. The Office of Independent Oversight also reported that LLNL's physical security systems, such as alarms and sensors, and its security program planning and assurance activities needed improvement. Weaknesses in LLNL's self-assessment program and LSO's oversight contributed to security deficiencies at the laboratory. LLNL's security self-assessment program and LSO's annual security survey failed to identify numerous security deficiencies before DOE's Office of Independent Oversight conducted its inspection. According to one DOE official, both programs were "broken" and missed even the "low-hanging fruit" of compliance-oriented deficiencies. More specifically, LLNL's self-assessment program should have identified the magnitude of technical problems with a key weapon system used at the laboratory. Furthermore, LSO's September 2007 security survey gave LLNL 100-percent satisfactory ratings in its security performance--differing markedly from the security performance DOE observed during its inspection a short time later. To address these issues, LSO is implementing a new program to better train security officials to perform security assessments and recognize deficiencies; however, according to LSO officials, LSO does not have a specific budget to implement this new security training program. LLNL has developed corrective action plans to address the 54 security deficiencies identified by the Office of Independent Oversight, and both NNSA and DOE will oversee the plans' implementation. As of December 2008, LLNL reported having completed 74 percent of the milestones included in corrective action plans to address physical security deficiencies. DOE plans to re-inspect LLNL in April 2009 and focus on the effectiveness of corrective actions. In the past, LLNL has not sustained corrective actions to address similar security deficiencies. For example, in 1999 DOE reported that LLNL's capability to conduct vulnerability assessments was deficient. By 2000, this problem had been corrected. In 2008, DOE again noted deficiencies in LLNL's vulnerability assessment capability. NNSA has the opportunity to use its new performance-based management and operating contract to hold LLNL's contractor financially accountable for ensuring that security improvements resulting from corrective actions are sustained. The plan to remove most of LLNL's special nuclear material by the end of fiscal year 2012 faces challenges because the plan's schedule depends on a number of factors, some of which LLNL does not control, such as the willingness and ability of other NNSA and DOE sites to receive the material, the timeliness of the effort, adequate funding, and the availability of specialized transport trucks operated by NNSA's Office of Secure Transportation to transfer material to other DOE sites.
Status Legend:
- Review Pending
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendations for Executive Action
Recommendation: To improve and sustain federal oversight of security performance at LLNL, the Administrator of NNSA and the LSO Manager should develop a detailed plan and budget for implementing LSO's proposed security training program.
Agency Affected: Department of Energy: National Nuclear Security Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: At the time we issued our report, the Livermore Site Office (LSO) was implementing a new program to better train security officials to perform security assessments and recognize deficiencies; however, according to LSO officials, LSO did not have a specific budget to implement this new security training program. After our report was issued in March 2009, NNSA determined that all safeguards and security professionals, including those at LSO, should be enrolled in a headquarters-based technical training program, and Site Office Managers were requested to take the appropriate steps to ensure that enrollment and completion occurred. All LSO federal safeguards and security personnel were enrolled in the headquarters-based program on February 26, 2010 and had 18 months from this date to complete the program. As such, the LSO-specific program was canceled, but NNSA's actions meet the intent of our recommendation.
Recommendation: To improve and sustain federal oversight of security performance at LLNL, the Administrator of NNSA and the LSO Manager should incorporate financial incentives into future performance evaluation plans, as allowed by the new LLNS management and operating contract, for sustaining security improvements at LLNL through the completion of the laboratory's Category I and II special nuclear material de-inventory.
Agency Affected: Department of Energy: National Nuclear Security Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In March 2009, GAO recommended that to improve and sustain federal oversight of security performance at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), the National Nuclear Security Administrator should incorporate financial incentives into future performance evaluation plans for sustaining security improvements at LLNL through the completion of the laboratory's Category I and II special nuclear material de-inventory. LLNL planned to complete this de-inventory by the end of fiscal year 2012. As such, NNSA had the opportunity to incorporate relevant financial incentives into its fiscal years 2010, 2011, and 2012 performance evaluation plans. On September 21, 2012, NNSA announced that LLNL had met its goal of completing removal of all Category I and II special nuclear material. GAO reviewed NNSA's relevant performance evaluation plans for LLNL and found that all three contained incentives to sustain security improvements through completion of de-inventory. Further, meeting the completion criteria to achieve the incentive would enable the LLNL contractor to earn an extension to its contract term. As such, GAO is closing this recommendation as implemented.

TEAMS: New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens
Via Larry Brown Sports:
The Baltimore Ravens defeated the New England Patriots to punch their ticket to Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday night, but the conclusion of the game has not resulted in the conclusion of smack talk. Terrell Suggs blasted the Patriots after the game and seemed beyond thrilled to knock them out of the postseason. Bernard Pollard ripped Tom Brady for sliding into Ed Reed with his cleats high.
On the New England side, it's once again the wives who are doing the talking. Check out this message that Wes Welker's wife, Anna Burns Welker, posted on Facebook after the game:
All fair points, but didn't Burns Welker learn anything from Gisele Bundchen's comments about New England's receivers after last year's Super Bowl loss — in particular her husband?
Personally, I'm dreading having to listen to Ray Lewis for two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl. Is he one of the best linebackers to ever play the game? Absolutely, but his over-the-top drama can be too much to handle at times. Nevertheless, Lewis has earned the right to preach for 14 more days before his career comes to a close.
UPDATE: Burns Welker contacted us with an apology for her comments about Lewis:
"I'm deeply sorry for my recent post on Facebook," Burns Welker told Larry Brown Sports in a statement. "I let the competitiveness of the game and the comments people were making about a team I dearly love get the best of me. My actions were emotional and irrational and I sincerely apologize to Ray Lewis and anyone affected by my comment after yesterday's game.
"It is such an accomplishment for any team to make it to the NFL playoffs, and the momentary frustration I felt should not overshadow the accomplishments of both of these amazing teams."

On account of beating Tunisia, Lithuania has clinched the No. 4 seed in Group A of the Olympic men's basketball tournament and will now face Russia, who had clinched the No. 1 seed in Group B despite falling to Australia early Monday. The two teams will face off on Wednesday in the quarterfinals. That is as yet the only quarterfinal match set.
Lithuania's win completed the eight-team knockout field, as well, by eliminating Tunisia and Nigeria. The Tunisians, who won their Olympic bid on account of being named the champions of Africa a year ago, finished the Olympics without a single win. One of China and Great Britain will also finish winless after the teams, each 0-4, face off on Monday.
If Team USA wins, it will face Australia in the quarterfinals. Australia edged Russia with a Patty Mills three-pointer in Monday's first game, two days after a comeback win over Britain.

Skippy was the love of our life until he recently died.
Being around Skippy meant there were unlimited creative opportunities for photo books. He has been the subject of many journals, a baby book, a "best of" book, the Birthday Boy book and now Sleepy Skippy. Sleepy Skippy shows ONLY images of our adorable boy catching some ZZZ's. I'm sure to some the subject will seem a bit of a reach but for those who knew Skippy the subject matter will be a sweet choice.
The photos were taken from the time he was a little pup until he was over 13 years old.
For those who tour through these pages, enjoy!

Reviews for Spicy Pork with Ginger-Maple Sauce
Sort By :
Easy and unbelievably good. I didn't have chicken broth but white wine worked perfectly. All 6 family members give this a unanimous thumbs up.
This was fantastic. I've made LOTS of different things over the past few months following recipes online, trying to find meal ideas that I really like. This is possibly the nicest one yet, def the best way I've eaten pork! I did double everything because made for four, all except the maple syrup because didn't want it overly sweet. Had it with mashed potatoes and vegetables, lovely! :)
This was SO delicious! I doubled the ginger-maple sauce which was extra tasty.
I found that the sauce burned the first time I made this. The second time I made it, I waited until the internal temperature of the meat was 150 degrees before I put the sauce on the meat. Then the sauce did not burn. Either way, my significant other thinks this is the best meal he has ever eaten!!

Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has already outlined a number of potentially expensive priorities earlier this month, will unveil the blueprint for his budget for the upcoming fiscal year in a major address from Albany on Tuesday. NY1's Zack Fink filed the following report.
It's a different economic time than it was just a few years ago. And while growth has been slow, the state is no longer hemorrhaging money. "Well, we are in a bit of a turnaround situation. We came into a very difficult place a few years ago with the great recession and we were facing $10 billion gaps, $12 billion budget gaps, we have brought those gaps down," said Elizabeth Lynam of the Citizens Budget Commission.
While there is still a gap of about $1 billion, that's a relatively small number in a $132 billion state budget. In other words, Governor Cuomo is no longer just plugging holes. Instead, he has more room for bold proposals. "When it comes to education, I say two words: More and better," said Cuomo during his State of the State address. The governor wants to expand the school day for students and implement full day pre-kindergarten. These initiatives have been on parent wish lists for years. It's still not clear how the governor would propose paying for them, however.
Cuomo also wants public financing of political campaigns. "Implement a public financing system based on New York City. It works well in New York City, it'll work well in New York State," Cuomo said.
How this would be paid for is also unclear. At least one study suggests that the cost to state government would be about $56 million per year.
"If it's a key agenda item, then state leaders should be willing to give up spending in other areas to try to make these new programs such as that fit in with an overall spending target that's limited," Lynam said. Another big issue in New York State has been mandate relief. This is less of a concern for New York City, but municipalities that enacted a property tax cap at Cuomo's direction two years ago say they have had difficulty staying within that cap due to state spending mandates, as well as rising pension and health care costs. One solution is for towns to merge and share services, though it's something local governments have traditionally resisted.
The governor's budget address is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Tuesday. NY1 will air the address live.

High End Systems' DL1 digital lights and Catalyst media servers are adding a live dimension to LeAnn Rimes' US summer/fall tour.
LD Steve Fallon has designed a flexible theatrical show to fit all sizes of venues, using four DL1s with the Digital Eye camera technology, two Catalyst™ media servers and a moving light package, controlled by a Wholehog® 2 console. Lighting contractor is Premier Global Productions of Nashville.
"The design is based on versatility and change on the fly," Fallon explains. "We were trying to achieve a design and system that would work in multiple venues, from fairs to arenas to casinos to corporate shows. Having a multi-media show gives me the versatility–it's large enough and yet compact enough," Fallon explains.
Fallon uses the DL1s with the Digital Eye cameras for live camera shots. The DL1s came with the D-Mix pro system which has Hog software personality, allowing Fallon to live-switch cameras via the Wholehog 2. "We take the DL1s and point them into the audience and replay the audience on projectors so they are responding to themselves. We also use content from Catalyst and, for example, put into it a live image of a guitar during the guitar or keyboard solos, so it allows us to incorporate a live shot."
They also videotape fans prior to the show and import the footage into the Catalyst. The "live" images play during the walk-in. "We're getting amazing response from other lighting designers, promoters, managers who didn't know that they could do this with the equipment," says Fallon.
HES digital lighting equipment has changed the way Fallon designs a show, and saves on production and transportation costs as well. Instead of set pieces, Fallon carries disks with his created scenic content. "We incorporate the show into one truck. We don't carry truss and motors – the promoter provides that. We show up with the DL1s and Catalyst and we're up and running in one hour, and down in 45 minutes! It's just two guys doing it – myself and Keith (Hoagland) – a departure from what country acts are doing...This is how the future is – just carry a media package and a moving light package and do a multimedia show."
"I'm discovering new things every day with DL1 and Catalyst," concludes Fallon, "and LeAnn is hip to it. She's sold on it. She's big on the toys. She's already planning future projects and asking me, 'Where do we go next?' "
LeAnn Rimes tours through October.

The Ravens made just six draft picks in 2009, but they found two key contributors with bright futures. OT Michael Oher looks like a future star, and Lardarius Webb was playing like the club's best cornerback before a season-ending knee injury. What's more, there is hope that OLB-DE Paul Kruger will develop into a consistent pass-rushing threat. The Ravens, who have drafted consistently well throughout GM Ozzie Newsome's tenure, have the added advantage this year of their coaches being able to see Senior Bowl prospects in person after having coached in the Pro Bowl instead a year ago. "It's just like college recruiting," Ravens defensive coordinator Greg Mattison told PFW at the Senior Bowl. "If you can go out to that high school and watch the kid firsthand and see him physically with his pads on, doing drills, then when you look at the film, it all goes together, and that's what this has allowed us to do."
PFW has launched its brand-new NFL Draft Newsletter series, with the second issue now ready for mailing and a third issue focusing on underclassmen to be published in the next few weeks. Produced by PFW's player personnel department under the direction of Nolan Nawrocki, the series consists of four information-packed issues.

he's had some great black fighters over the years....but ali was a finished product that didn't need much marketing. same can be said for leonard. he guided floyd early in his career but imo did not promote floyd as well as he could have or half as much as he promoted dlh or pacquiao. is he just not in touch? or does he just not care? rigondeaux has displayed exceptional skill like we haven't seen in quite some time. this guy has some amazing accomplishments on his resume.
world unified champion in just 10 pro fights
2 time gold medalist
2 time pan am gold medalist
2 time world cup champion
had almost 400 fights as an amateur with only 12 losses and hasn't been defeated in 10yrs.
he just beat the fighter of the year '12 very convincingly and he's going to be a hard sell??? is arum serious? the opposition is out there for rigondeaux to stake his claim at greatness. we have an opportunity to see another truly great fighter accomplish great things.
fights i'd like to see that are very doable.
if he should move up...
gary russell
mickey garcia
those are just off the top of my head. in my mind....we just saw a megafight. the two very best in the division and rigondeaux proved he was a level above the fighter of the year. so now he has to suffer because arum is either incompetent or racist? bullshit!!! push this guy!!! don't punish him for his greatness. give the fans what they deserve and stop with the bullshit agendas.

i was shocked that he had crawford on the undercard of rios/alvarado. but then again...he was a last minute replacement. broner would have been a last minute option as well i'm sure.
Me too, but you're right, he was a last minute replacement. If Arum had Broner, he wouldn't have a problem promoting him, because he pretty much promotes himself.
Think about it, Broner is the "Mayweather of a few years ago", super flashy with a big mouth. We'd have to hear Arum brag about how Broner is a better product than Mayweather ever was, under his banner. He still seems butthurt about Oscar and Floyd leaving him, so I wouldn't rule it out.

SAN DIEGO -- Evan Scribner really had things working for him on the mound in Saturday's 6-0 loss to the D-backs.
The Padres' reliever made his fourth Major League appearance and blanked the D-backs' hitters for three shutout innings.
And with the Padres turning to five relievers in Friday's 4-3 extra-innings win, Scribner's effort was exactly what Padres manager Bud Black needed from him.
"That was huge," Black said. "We stopped them right there cold for the last four innings -- without having to use three relievers and have them get their pitch count up. That's exactly what Evan needed to do, and he did it."
Scribner was recalled on April 25 from Triple-A Tuscon, where he was a closer and used to an inning of work. But he handled the extended workload fine, recording one strikeout and no walks.
"I felt good," Scribner said. "I'm not used to doing three innings. In the Minors, I usually just threw one inning. But they were swinging early, and I was trying to just throw strikes.
"I kept my pitch count down, so it wasn't that bad. ... I was just trying to get ahead. First pitch strikes, keep the ball down."
Through four appearances and eight innings pitched this season, Scribner has surrendered six hits and one run with an ERA of 1.13.
Black said he'll be looking for more of the same from Scribner as the team moves forward.
"That's his role right now on this club, is to do that, even though he wasn't quite developed to do that in the Minor Leagues," Black said.
"The last couple of weeks prior to his call-up he was going multiple innings, by design, in Tuscon. You need those guys. You need a couple guys in the 'pen who can go two, three innings, if needed."
Padres honor Bat Girl Rooney on Mother's Day
SAN DIEGO -- Anitra Rooney of La Mesa, Calif., served as the Padres' Honorary Bat Girl on Mother's Day, as the club joined Major League Baseball in the annual Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer initiative.
As a big Padres fan, when Rooney heard about the contest to become the Honorary Bat Girl, she acted fast.
"I'm a huge baseball fan, so as soon as I knew that the contest existed, I was all over it," Rooney said. "I have the good fortune of teaching at a high school, so I could reach out to all of my kids through my school."
A science teacher at Otay Ranch (Calif.) High, Rooney used her breast cancer diagnosis as an opportunity to teach her students a life lesson.
Knowing she would lose her hair through chemotherapy, Rooney created a contest at the school so the person who raised the most money for cancer research would get the chance to shave Rooney's head.
"I've been able to get them excited about it, and they've been really supportive since I've been diagnosed," Rooney said. "They have been the ones who have seen me through all of this. They know the whole story, and they have been a really huge support. So it's neat to get them involved."
There was enough money raised through the contest to give $500 each to two staff members who did the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure, and to make the top 100 donors' list for the Susan G. Komen 5K.
During the course of chemotherapy treatments and three surgeries, Rooney managed to limit the amount of time she took off from work, ran in the Komen 5K, did a supersprint triathlon and still made time to tutor and cheer at games.
Prior to Sunday's game, Rooney was honored at home plate and the Padres hosted her and her family, along with some friends.
"If you put the Padres and me in a sentence, then I'm excited," Rooney said. "It was really neat that we got to go out and touch home plate, obviously. I got to bring neighbors that are really good friends of ours, and they're big baseball fans."
As an additional tribute supporting the cause and honoring Mother's Day, many of the Padres' players used pink bats on Sunday -- marked with the MLB breast cancer awareness logo.
"I think, across the board, mothers have done so much for everybody," Padres third baseman Chase Headley said. "For me personally, my mom has just always been there. She has sacrificed so much. It's just a small way to kind of say, 'Thank you.' It's a great idea, and a great honor to be able to do that."
Catcher Kyle Phillips had similar sentiments toward his own mom, and about what the pink bats mean on Mother's Day.
"I'm sure it means something to everybody," Phillips said. "Obviously, with Mother's Day, it's a big day. That's why we're all here. I called my mom first thing this morning. Some of these guys are wearing, you know, pink shoes and the pink wristbands. And you know, a lot of guys are going to use the bat for maybe one at-bat and then they'll pass it off to their moms."
Forsythe gets first Major League start
SAN DIEGO -- Just a few days after making his Major League debut, second baseman Logan Forsythe saw his name written into the starting lineup for the first time on Sunday.
Forsythe was recalled from Triple-A Tucson on Wednesday when Orlando Hudson went on the disabled list, and the 2008 Draft pick got his first start in the rubber match of a three-game set with the D-backs.
"I'm excited, I'm ready to go," Forsythe said. "I just want to go out there and play my game and help the team."
Manager Bud Black said he slotted Forsythe at second as part of stacking the lineup with right-handed bats against Arizona lefty Joe Saunders, hoping to generate offense for a club that fell victim to its eighth shutout of the season on Saturday.
"We wanted to get a right-handed bat in there against Saunders," Black said. "This is a good opportunity for [Forsythe] to get a start. He has been in camp with us now for the last two years. In Spring Training, we watched him develop, and he has gotten off to a nice start for Tucson. He's shown that he can hit the ball in the Minor Leagues, and hopefully he catches a good game today."
After switching positions from third base to second last season, Forsythe said he felt comfortable both defensively and as part of the big league team.
"I made the switch ... and played second all of last year," Forsythe said. "I've still been working around the whole infield, but [second] feels a lot more natural now. It's a little easier, and the game has kind of slowed down for me.
"I've been with these guys in big league camp for the last two years, and this year I stayed all the way until the end. It's a lot more comfortable just knowing the guys, and it makes it a little more easy."
Since joining the team, Forsythe has twice appeared as a pinch-hitter, but grounded out and struck out in those instances.

Former Cardinals QB Kurt Warner weighs in on Keim, head coaching search
The Arizona Cardinals hired their new general manager on Tuesday, promoting vice president of player personnel Steve Keim.
Former Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Show Tuesday he expected to see Keim take over the GM reins.
"I wasn't surprised at all," Warner said. "I know they did their due diligence and reached out and looked some other places but [Keim]'s done a great job for them. I know everybody there really likes what he's done."
Keim has been with the Cardinals since 1999 in a variety of roles including scout, director of college scouting and director of player personnel.
Warner felt team brass had "high regard for what he's done and what he's brought to the organization" and feel confident he will thrive in his new role.
"I think they knew and just kind of had that holding there and were going to check other people out but always knew he was going to be a viable guy for that position because of what he's done," Warner said.
While the Cardinals now have their new general manager, they still remain without a head coach. The team has interviewed defensive coordinator Ray Horton, Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and have a meeting scheduled with Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden on Thursday.
Warner was mum on who he thinks should win the job but did say it's hard to tell which coaches will be successful in the NFL.
"There's a lot of guys out there whether it's college ranks or in the pros that probably could be great head coaches," Warner explained. "I don't think you ever really know that until they are in the position so I can only speak to guys that I know personally that have been head coaches and how they've handled those situations more so than somebody you're taking a shot on."

It wasn't the entire Tufts men's lacrosse team that suddenly went stupid one Friday night last September. But more than two dozen rambunctious, lame-brained team members mixed themselves a devilish cocktail of alcohol and ignorance, then topped it off with a couple of bitter olives of painful, public sexual harassment and racism.
Now the entire team will pay the price, while the school acts to repair its image.

Here are the RECIPES featured on FOX 2 News Morning.
Pie Dough8 oz all-purpose flour (about 1 1/3 cups)
1 Tbs Sugar
½ tsp Salt
1 stick (4 oz) unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
2 Tbs lard or solid vegetable shortening
4 Tbs water (varies)
Sift flour sugar and salt.
In a food processor combine dry ingredients and lard (or shortening) and butter. Pulse till mixture is fine and mealy like cornmeal. Add water a tablespoon at a time till it comes together and is dough consistency (may need more or less than listed in recipe). Form into a flat ball, wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 min before using.Egg Wash
1 Egg
1Tbs water Fruit or flavored pie filling
Nutella (Hazelnut chocolate spread) recipe to followCourse Sugar
Preheat oven to 325
Once pie dough is chilled, roll out till ¼ inch thickness. Use any desired holiday or classic cutters and cut dough into shapes.
Using egg wash, lightly brush one piece of the cut out pie dough. Scoop 1 tsp of filling (depending on size of cutter maybe more) into the middle of the cut piece of pie dough.
Take another cut out piece of dough and lay on top of filling and pinch edges so there is a seal.
Brush top with egg wash and sprinkle with course sugar.
Bake mini pie poppers on parchment lined sheet tray for 12-15 min or till golden brown on top (varies depending oven) Nutella (Chocolate Hazelnut Spread)
1 2/3 cup hazelnuts
1 1/2 cup whole milk
7/8 cup powdered whole milk
2 tablespoons mild-flavored honey
pinch of salt
7 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
6 ounces (140g) milk chocolate, chopped (use one that's at least 30% cacao solids)
Spread the nuts on a baking sheet. Toast the nuts in a 350ºF (180ºC) oven, stirring a few times, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the hazelnuts are browned.
While they are toasting, warm the whole milk and powdered milk in a small saucepan with the honey and salt just until it starts to boil. Remove from heat.
In a bowl set over a double boil, melt the chocolates together until smooth.
Once the nuts are well-toasted, remove them from oven and use a spatula to place the warm hazelnuts in a clean tea towel, then fold them inside the towel and rub them vigorously to remove any loose skins. They don't need to be perfect; just try to get as much off as possible.
In a food processor, grind the warm hazelnuts and almonds until they're as fine as possible. You may not be able to get them completely smooth, depending on your food processor
Add the melted chocolate and continue to process the mixture, stopping to scrape down the sides of the work bowl, as necessary.
Once the mixture is smooth, add the warm milk mixture and process until everything is well-combined.
*You can strain the paste, to remove little hazelnut pieces to get smooth or leave to keep textured.
Place in a air tight container or jar, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before use.

Open source software: The question of security
The logic is understandable - how can a software with source code that can easily be viewed, accessed and changed have even a modicum of security? opensource-security-question Open source software is safer than many believe. But with organizations around the globe deploying open source solutions in even some of the most mission-critical and security-sensitive environments, there is clearly something unaccounted for by that logic. According to a November 28 2013 Financial News article, some of the world's largest banks and exchanges, including Deutsche Bank and the New York Stock Exchange, have been active in open source projects and are operating their infrastructure on Linux, Apache and similar systems.

Beer and open source with Untappd
Greg Avola loves beer and coding. He loves beer so much that he made an app, Untappd, where users track their favorite brews. He loves coding so much that he wrote a book about mobile web development. According to him, if it weren't for open source software, his app—and the projects of many other developers—simply wouldn't exist. Read more in my interview with Greg about his open source journey, his favorite beer, and why check-in apps are still relevant.
What is Docker, Really? Founder Solomon Hykes Explains
Docker has quickly become one of the most popular open source projects in cloud computing. With millions of Docker Engine downloads, hundreds of meetup groups in 40 countries and dozens upon dozens of companies announcing Docker integration, it's no wonder the less-than-two-year-old project ranked No. 2 overall behind OpenStack in Linux.com and The New Stack's top open cloud project survey. This meteoric rise is still puzzling, and somewhat problematic, however, for Docker, which is "just trying to keep up" with all of the attention and contributions it's receiving, said founder Solomon Hykes in his keynote at LinuxCon and CloudOpen on Thursday. Most people today who are aware of Docker don't necessarily understand how it works or even why it exists, he said, because they haven't actually used it. "Docker is very popular, it became popular very fast, and we're not really sure why," Hykes said. "My personal theory … is that it was in the right place at the right time for a trend that's much bigger than Docker, and that is very important for all of us, that has to do with how applications are built."
