Already, some roof repair companies in the metro tell KOB Eyewitness News 4 they're booked out several weeks just to do inspections for water damage. Waits are even longer for repairs.
Sometimes your roof can hold up after a hard rainfall, and the leaks don't start for a few days.
KOB talked to the experts at Goodrich Roofing in Albuquerque for some tips.
1.) For tar gravel roofs -- those flat roofs -- you want to make sure your drainage canals are clean and clear of any debris. That's what keeps water on the roof.
2.) Keep a close eye on vents -- 9 times out of 10, water leaks come through air conditioning intakes, and skylights.
3.) If you have a sloped roof, keep an eagle eye on your roof for any shingles that may have slipped in the rain. Those need to be fixed right away to keep water from seeping in through the roofing.
4.) As far as prevention: a tarp over any existing cracks or weak spots can save you a lot of hassle if it rains again.

Deshaies, Carpers lead PHS girls to Sect. VII victory
PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh High girls' indoor track and field team found itself in a battle with Beekmantown and Saranac all season long.
But when it mattered most, Saturday belonged to the Hornets.
Plattsburgh High collected three event wins to total 155 points, claiming the Section VII championship at the Plattsburgh State Field House.
"To us, it's very important," Hornets co-coach Vern Harrison said. "A lot of the girls were working hard all season to get to this point, and it's just good to see all that hard work pay off."
The Hornets had a plethora of athletes participate in multiple events, making the five-hour event a marathon in itself.
"All the meets are all the schools, so you move people around and you find what they're comfortable with," Plattsburgh High co-coach Adam Mehan said. "A lot of the harder work (Saturday) was our distance team, really. We needed them to step up, and we had to find people and plug them into events that they're not accustomed to doing. It was an impressive performance from our mid-distance and our distance team, especially because those races are kind of clumped together."
Picking up 26 points for the Hornets was Claire Deshaies. Deshaies was a victor in the 600-meter run before finishing second in the 55-meter dash and 300-meter dash.
"I was pleased with my performance in the 600-meter run," Deshaies said. "I started track in my eighth-grade year, and then I did cross country, so I think the 600 is a nice blend of both."
Deshaies' teammates, Ashlee Carper and Kaylia Carper, were impact athletes for both Harrison and Mehan.
Ashlee Carper took the win in the 55-meter hurdles, while her twin sister earned first-place honors in the triple jump.
The Eagles finished second, recording 121 points, while Saranac (84), Ticonderoga (48) and Seton Catholic (38) completed the top five. Moriah (30), Peru (28), AuSable Valley (11) and Westport (0) completed the running order.
Other Beekmantown event winners include Kirsten Villemaire, Lindsey Gonyea, Elisabeth Plympton, Kimberlin Ratliff, Tristen Reid, Courtney Wilson and Kallie Villemaire.
Saranac's Lexi Blockson, Elysha O'Connell, Abby Cerne and Victoria Yip won the 3,200-meter relay, while O'Connell took the 3,000-meter run and Meaghann Wood was a winner in the shot put.
Halie Snyder (Moriah), Margaret Champagne (Seton Catholic) and Lillith Ida (Ticonderoga) also earned first-place honors.
Athletes will get six days off before returning to the Field House for the Section VII state qualifier meet.
"A lot of them will rest (today) and be light on Monday, but they'll get into event-specific training," Harrison said. "It will be some hard work. They'll have to maintain focus on what they're doing."
Mehan believes his squad should be at its peak after Saturday's team win.
"Next week is just going to be a cleanup of technical stuff," Mehan said. "But right now, this is great for the girls. A lot of people stepped up and contributed throughout."

Mantello portrayed Ned Weeks in the 2011 Broadway premiere of Kramer's 1985 play that documents the dawn of the AIDS crisis in New York City. Mantello will appear as Mickey Marcus, with the previously announced Mark Ruffalo as Ned Weeks.
Mantello is represented on Broadway this season as the director of the one-woman Bette Midler play, I'll Eat You Last: A Chat With Sue Mengers. His numerous directorial credits include The Other Place, Other Desert Cities, Dogfight, Assassins, Wicked and Three Days of Rain.
Directed by Emmy winner Ryan Murphy ("Eat Pray Love," "Glee"), the film is scheduled to begin production in New York City in June for a 2014 debut on HBO. Kramer has adapted his play for the upcoming film.
Executive produced by Murphy, Jason Blum, Dede Gardner and Dante Di Loreto, "The Normal Heart," according to press notes, "tells the story of the onset of the HIV-AIDS crisis in New York City in the early 1980s, taking an unflinching look at the nation's sexual politics as gay activists and their allies in the medical community fought to expose the truth about the burgeoning epidemic to a city in denial."
Kramer's play debuted at New York's Public Theater in 1985. The 2011 Broadway revival garnered five Tony nominations, winning for Best Revival, Best Featured Actor and Best Featured Actress.

Alameda County officials said that because an internal investigation found no wrongdoing by Muhammad regarding a sexual harassment and assault lawsuit filed against him by a deputy probation officer earlier this year, the county will continue to represent him in the civil suit against him.
The County released the following statement Wednesday afternoon:
David Muhammad, Alameda County's Chief Probation Officer, has decided to resign from his position effective August 3, 2012, in order to pursue other opportunities. The Alameda County Board of Supervisors today accepted Mr. Muhammad's resignation and wishes him the best in his future endeavors.

Amphibious Shorts 5 5
Good product for the price Bought these a work out shorts for the gym. Have been great so far. July 24, 2014
Generally good shorts Pros: good fabrics & tailoring & pocket choices. Cons: limited sizes (34-36 would be better than 36-38 for me). Inseam is a bit longer than I'd like. One of the Velcro pocket closures was only halfway installed. July 26, 2013
surprisd and disappointed I loved the looks of these shorts. The quality and style is just what I wanted. But the elastic on the legs of the liner is very tight. Too uncomfortable for me to consider wearing. Very disappointed. July 7, 2013
Great for biking, swimming or hiking! I bought one pair of these amphibious shorts and they worked out so well, I bought another pair a few weeks later! I will probably buy a third pair in the near future! July 11, 2013
Fit and versatility excellent. Stays secure when swimming or running June 3, 2013
1-5 of 5

Molecular Devices to close Hampshire site and move to Carllifornia
7:52am Friday 16th November 2012 in News
Up to 50 jobs will be lost after a pioneering technology firm revealed it will close its Hampshire premises and move to America.
Employees of bioanalytical firm Molecular Devices have been told the business will move from New Milton to California.
It has been reported the company which makes robotic machinery for testing cancer cells and heart disease will shut its base at Queensway Industrial Estate on March 31 and the premises will be put up for sale.
Workers have been left "disheartened and upset" by the shock closure plans.
Chief operating officer at Molecular Devices Greg Wigmore confirmed staff were being consulted on redundancies and the plans to sell the site adding about 15 per cent of people had been offered a relocation package to Sunnyvale in California.
He said: "The rational business decision is to move manufacturing, marketing and R&D to the Molecular Devices Sunnyvale site in California and absorb all other functions into the existing infrastructure there."
He added: "Obviously our current focus is to support staff through the remainder of this process and to continue to provide high quality products and services to our global customer base."

Replacing them with 50 more temporary part time retail jobs isn't the approach which is going to benefit our economy in the long run.
And "holding talks" isn't really the pro-active strategic thinking we need.

A whole 50 jobs? Oh noes!
50 livelihoods gone, 50 families affected, another 50 people competing for what few jobs there are left in the area, 50 salaries worth of contribution to the local economy lost. Let's hope you never have to face losing your job and income and maybe home because of it, that way you can carry on sitting in your ivory tower. Oh Noes indeed, this is devastating for those concerned - show some respect, just as for those at Ford etc..

Have you heard the myth that black cats are unsafe in October, in part because witches may try to adopt them for rituals? We sure have. But guess what? Top ASPCA experts agree that it's just not true.
Unfortunately, the truth is kinda scary, too: Year-round, black cats are the least likely to get adopted in shelters across the U.S. In fact, black animals in general take more time to find homes, says Gail Buchwald, Senior Vice President of the Adoption Center.
At the ASPCA, we LOVE black kitties. (Some of our friendliest cats, like Marissa, are black—yet Marissa has waited more than nine months to find a family. What's up with that?)
Aside from the most important reason to adopt black kitties—that they really need extra help finding homes—here are a few reasons to take home one or two:
- Their fur won't show on your little black dress.
- You can tell your kids you adopted a mini panther.
- Black cats go with everything.
- In most cultures, black cats are a sign of good luck.
- You already know black cats are awesome—you have one at home! If you've got a great black kitty, tell us about him or her in the comments. You just might persuade someone else to give these felines a little extra attention.
My daughter begged me to adopt this black cat..she was homeless and well living on the streets...I already have an all white cat I told her she said please momma. So I gave in and we took her on home...Her name is Nala she is 2 years old and you would swear she was a dog...You can't say here kitty kitty. YOu have to call her by her name. She plays fetch with paper balls...If you ball up a piece of paper she is right there in front of you. She is 16 pounds and I love her with all I am...She Def has made an impact in this family! We all Love her so much!
I've had many black cats over the years and they have all been wonderful and full of personality. I currently have one little black kitty named Sunshine but I usually call her Sunny. She is the sweetest little love bug, she's kind of shy around other people but she is a darling girl. I wouldn't hesitate to get another black cat when I no longer have a full house:)
I have (2) black cats-Philla & Phoebe. I found them several years ago as kittens abandoned in a wooded area-hungry & frightened. I managed to catch them (after feeding them on the side of the road)and took them home. I was unable to find a home for them, and knowing their chances of getting adopted, I kept them as my pets. They are beautiful animals, shiny black coats and striking yellow eyes and are the same as any domestic short hair. Don't allow ancient superstitions to effect your decision on adopting-black is beautiful!
I have loved black cats all my life. Kali my current black cat, and is my protector. She came to us in a semi feral state and was a grumpy girl, until she was treated repeatedly with love and kindness and settled in. Now she tucks me in at night, literally pulling the covers around my shoulders and then snuggling there to protect me. If I am upset she is in my lap comforting me. I am blessed to have her. I have always thought that blackies have a better nature that most cats, though I have a tortie and a long hair too.
I got my black cat as a ferrel 8 week old from a woodpile. She was a little ball of hiss when she came to us and turned into the most loving little baby. She sleeps with me everynight. I am convinced that the woodpile was magic!
We have had 2 black cats. They were loving and smart and funny. If we ever get any more cats it will definitely be a black one...or 2. My daughters are allergic to dogs and cats so I am hoping they will one day grow out of that because I miss my cats :( Fee and Fattie lived till they were 15 and Anna lived till she was 19 1/2.
Black cats are wonderful pets, just like any other kitty. I specifically look to adopt black cats if there are any a available when I adopt. For the past 24 years I've had black or black & white kitties. They aren't bad luck just like walking under a ladder or breaking a mirror aren't bad luck- only silly superstitions!
While I have always had Siamese cats because of their dog-like dispositions, I rescued Zoey, a gorgeous black domestic shorthair about three years ago. Someone had boxed Zoey up and left the box by a trash dumpster in Chicago. Thankfully, her high pitched voice saved her from being compressed with the rest of the trash. Zoey is big, burly, beautiful and very funny. She always disguises herself by sitting on a black piece of furniture. She loves to go to work with me and is the perfect desk top accessory. I wouldn't trade her for all the tea in China.
I adopted Maddie from the local Humane Society 2 years ago come November. They told me when I adopted her that black cats were usually the last to be adopted. She is a real sweetie - she loves to lay across my arms belly up when I am on my laptop, plays fetch (she did this herself - I am sure that she thinks that she taught me) and is a great lap cat. And she knows what to do if field mice sneak in.
I adopted a black cat seven months ago, and he had been in the shelter for 10 months-since he was 10 weeks old! I can't believe no one scooped him up as a little kitten, but we sure are happy they didn't. He is the friendliest cat and loves to be the center of attention. Our friends and family are totally smitten with him- and so are we! We hate the black cat stigma, and we like to say that he is our LUCKY cat! (But really, we're the lucky ones to have him in our lives)

Very good, clean hostel. Staff were happy to help with everything. Tongariro Crossing transfer was $30 return, which i think is standard in the town. 8 bed dorm was a good size, plenty of power supplies, and kept clean by staff each day. Internet at $5 a day, although another guy and myself did manage to connect to a free connection in certain parts of the hostel! Good sized and well-equipped kitchen. Well located, close to foursquare supermarket.

The staff were short. The young woman who did our room was excellent, thoughtful, and over-worked. When a hostel is a staff member down they work longer and harder. But, this woman always provided the necessaries + advice and time as she saw that we 'needed' it. Do they get the money for the extra work they do, the extra hours they stay up, the extra security they provide, the extra layer of responsibility they provide? No. Not fair...!! She will not protest ... because her job would be ....

Exchange Rate Dynamics Redux
AbstractThe authors develop an analytically tractable two-country model that marries a full account of global macroeconomic dynamics to a supply framework based on monopolistic competition and sticky nominal prices. The model offers simple and intuitive predictions about exchange rates and current accounts that sometimes differ sharply from those of either modern flexible-price intertemporal models or traditional sticky-price Keynesian models. The authors' analysis leads to a novel perspective on the international welfare spillovers due to monetary and fiscal policies. Copyright 1995 by University of Chicago Press.

Oxycodone may be habit-forming. Do not take more of it, take it more often, or take it in a different way than directed by your doctor. Tell your doctor if you or anyone in your family drinks or has ever drunk large amounts of alcohol, uses or has ever used street drugs, or has overused prescription medications, or if you have or have ever had depression or another mental illness. There is a greater risk that you will overuse oxycodone if you have or have ever had any of these conditions.
Do not allow anyone else to take your medication. Oxycodone may harm or cause death to other people who take your medication, especially children. Keep oxycodone in a safe place so that no one else can take it accidentally or on purpose. Be especially careful to keep oxycodone out of the reach of children. Keep track of how many tablets or how much liquid is left so you will know if any medication is missing.
Oxycodone may cause slowed or stopped breathing, especially when you begin your treatment and any time your dose is increased. Your doctor will monitor you carefully during your treatment. Your doctor will adjust your dose to control your pain and decrease the risk that you will experience serious breathing problems. Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had slowed breathing or asthma. Your doctor will probably tell you not to take oxycodone. Also tell your doctor if you have or have ever had kyphoscoliosis (curving of the spine that may cause breathing problems) or lung disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; a group of diseases that affect the lungs and airways). The risk that you will develop breathing problems may be higher if you are an older adult or are weakened or malnourished due to disease. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately or get emergency medical treatment: slowed breathing, long pauses between breaths, or shortness of breath.
Drinking alcohol, taking prescription or non-prescription medications that contain alcohol, or using street drugs during your treatment with oxycodone increases the risk that you will experience serious, life-threatening side effects. Talk to your doctor about the risks of drinking alcohol during your treatment.
Taking certain other medications during your treatment with oxycodone may increase the risk that you will experience breathing problems or other serious, life-threatening side effects. Tell your doctor if you are taking or plan to take any of the following medications: other narcotic pain medications; medications for anxiety, seizures, mental illness, or nausea; muscle relaxants; sedatives; sleeping pills;or tranquilizers.
Swallow oxycodone extended-release tablets whole; do not chew, break, divide, crush, or dissolve them. If you swallow broken, chewed, or crushed extended-release tablets, you may receive too much oxycodone at once, instead of slowly over 12 hours. This may cause serious problems, including overdose and death.
Talk to your doctor about the risks of taking oxycodone.
If you are taking oxycodone extended release tablets, your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer's patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin your treatment and each time you refill your prescription. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website ( Web Site) or the manufacturer's website to obtain the Medication Guide.
Oxycodone is used to relieve moderate to severe pain. Oxycodone extended-release tablets are only used to treat people who are expected to need medication to relieve moderate to severe pain around the clock. Oxycodone is in a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics. It works by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain.
Oxycodone is also available in combination with acetaminophen (Endocet, Percocet, Roxicet, Tylox, others); aspirin (Endodan, Percodan, Roxiprin, others); and ibuprofen (Combunox). This monograph only includes information about the use of oxycodone alone. If you are taking an oxycodone combination product, be sure to read information about all the ingredients in the product you are taking and ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Oxycodone comes as a solution (liquid), concentrated solution, tablet, capsule, and extended-release (long-acting) tablet to take by mouth. The solution, concentrated solution, tablet, and capsule are usually taken with or without food every 4 to 6 hours, either as needed for pain or as regularly scheduled medications. The extended-release tablets are taken every 12 hours. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take oxycodone exactly as directed.
If you are taking the oxycodone concentrated solution, be sure to carefully measure and double check the dose before taking the medication. Use the measuring dropper that comes with the medication to measure your dose. Mix the medication with at least 1 ounce (30 milliliters) of juice or other liquid, or with a semi-solid food such as applesauce or pudding. If you are taking oxycodone concentrated solution from an ampule (small pre-packaged tube containing oxycodone liquid), be sure to follow your doctor's instructions for taking a dose. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you have any questions about measuring your dose or taking your medication.
If you are taking the extended-release tablets, swallow the tablets one at a time with plenty of water. Swallow the tablet right after putting it in your mouth. Do not presoak, wet, or lick the tablets before you put them in your mouth.
Your doctor will likely start you on a low dose of oxycodone and may increase this dose over time if your pain is not controlled. After you take oxycodone for a period of time, your body may become used to the medication. If this happens, your doctor may need to increase your dose to control your pain. Talk to your doctor about how you are feeling during your treatment with oxycodone.
Do not stop taking oxycodone without talking to your doctor. If you stop taking this medication suddenly, you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness, watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, yawning, sweating, chills, muscle or joint aches or pains, weakness, irritability, anxiety, depression, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, fast heartbeat, and fast breathing. Your doctor will probably decrease your dose gradually.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a copy of the manufacturer's information for the patient.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking oxycodone,
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
If you are taking oxycodone on a regular schedule, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. Do not take more than one dose of the extended-release tablets in 12 hours.
Oxycodone may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms, are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Oxycodone may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while you are taking this medication.
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from light and excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Throw away oxycodone concentrate solution 90 days after you open the product. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include:
Keep all appointments with your doctor.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

CATEGORIES MoviesThe "Project X" reviews are in -- and they're terrible! "It's pure bong water," sneered Tom Long from the Detroit News. "There is no way you could make this movie stupider or more pointlessly noisy than it already is," groaned the New York Post's Sara Stewart. "It aims for the bottom, and hits the bulls-eye," sighed Andrew Lapin from NPR. In short, the critical consensus on "Project X" is not great, but that didn't stop one high-profile publication from giving the Todd Phillips production a rave review: the New York Times.
Before you wonder what venerable Times film critics A.O. Scott and Manhola Dargis were smoking, note that the "Project X" review was written by Neil Genzlinger, described in his bio on the Times' website as "the all-purpose scavenger" of reviewing.
Wrote Genzlinger about the party comedy:
The Oscars are swell, but once in a while a film comes along that is so courageous it deserves consideration for the Nobel Prize. An entire generation has been born and gone to college since the Beastie Boys defined that most basic of civil liberties: You've got to fight for your right to party. The makers of "Project X," knowing how short the teenage memory is, have now boldly, raunchily made the declaration again, preventing millions of young people from growing up without understanding that every 17-year-old is entitled to a drunken, deafening, topless, drug-filled, sex-crazed, property-destroying, life-endangering birthday.
Sarcasm? Probably not? At least not when you take Genzlinger's final line about the film into account:
The "Animal House" of the iPhone generation? Could be. Pretty enjoyable for parents too.
"Project X" also received a favorable review from Entertainment Weekly critic Owen Gleiberman,

The choices are on the table for future generations of Boston Public School students.
The Boston Public Schools Department presented a series of five options that would address school choice among students in Boston, with proposals ranging from doing away with the zone system completely to a system involving 23 different zones that span the city.
The schools currently run in a three zone system, meaning some students attend schools across large swaths of the city. In thinking about the different plans, BPS said the frameworks considered equitable access, proximity to home for students, element of choice, diversity, safety, predictability, simpler for families, transportation savings, ease of execution.
Each of the proposed options would significantly change the choices for students who live in the South End, either by basically limiting school choice to Blackstone and Hurley schools or by giving most South End students the choice to attend schools in South Boston or Roxbury and some South End students could attend schools in the Fenway/Kenmore neighborhood or Allston-Brighton neighborhoods.
Option 1 - No zones
This model would assign students directly to the school closest to them, with adjustments for capacity and programmatic options. In this model, families would not make school choices and students would receive their assignment based on their address and specific programmatic needs (special education, English Language Learning programs, etc.)
"This system will maximize our transportation savings on which we spend more than $81 million a year," said Deputy Superintendent Michael Goar. "But this plan eliminates choice, and then there are issues of diversity," he said.
Option 2 - 23 zones
The second option breaks up the neighborhoods of Boston into 23 smaller zones in an effort to enhance the choice issues and equity of access to quality schools, while still keeping students close to home. This would shrink the average distance a student travels to school each day from 1.49 miles to .88 miles.
"It doesn't get to quite all the options in terms of choice, but it gets at larger issues of keeping students closer to home, a greater level of preditability, and saves resources regarding transportation," Goar said. "Again, one could argue this option may still be short on issues of choice and diversity."
Option 3, 4, 5 - 11, 9 or 6 zones
The third, fourth and fifth options attempt to balance multiple factors, including maintaining predictability and staying close to home, but also takes into account issues of available seats in schools versus student population, and access to high-performing schools.
"This doesn't follow any political boundary, but it's what we feel best serves the students and is in the best interest of the students," said Goar. "It's near their community as well as opportunity for kids to have a high quality education."
In the 11-zone plan, Goar said a couple of zones did not meet acceptible standards in terms of diversity. Those zones include Charlestown and parts of Roxbury.
At least one school within each zone would have specialized programs for students with the most common disabilities.This includes Autism, Learning Disabled, Emotionally Impaired, and Intellectually Impaired.
Sibling preference and walk-zone preference would still apply. If a school is across a boundary line from a students' home but within the walk zone, that family could still apply to the school.
System wide issues
Feedback from the advisory committee and members of the public centered on the fact that the prepared maps and charts did not seem to address the issue of access quality schools in a given zone. Superintendent Dr. Carol Johnson said those issues were taken into consideration and played a role in determing zones, but parents said they needed to see evidence of it on the maps.
Superintendent Johnson also noted that the goal is to improve quality at all schools, especially ones now that are lower quality schools, but parents and the advisory board wanted to see more of which plan equally provided access to schools determined high quality or improving quality schools as of this year. Other concerns were raised about scenarios and modeling in terms of changes to populations in certain areas and changes to school quality in certain areas.
You can view the corresponding maps released on Monday night by clicking on the .pdfs at the top of the article, and you can delve more into the plans at the Boston Public Schools School Choice website. Which plan do you think best serves the students of Boston?

CHICAGO, Ill. -- Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler will not be testing the free-agent market this off-season. In fact the Bears will keep him around through the 2020 season.
Cutler's contract with the Bears just expired, and there had been speculation on his return, but that's all behind them now and he'll be back next season.
Cutler threw 19 touchdowns in 11 games this season and had the highest quarterback rating of his career.
He came to the Bears from Denver in 2009 and has 67 games under his belt since then.
In 2010, he guided the Bears to one playoff victory, but he hasn't gotten them back to the post-season since then.
First year coach Marc Trestman and Cutler have a good relationship and that seemed to carry weight in the decision to keep Cutler around.

A 12-block stretch of the Auburn Gresham community is being called Chicago's most dangerous neighborhood and the 4th most dangerous in America, based on a study of 2011 crime statistics.
NeighborHoodScout.com said residents have a 1-in-9 chance of becoming crime victims, but Chicago Police say several other neighborhoods suffer more violent crime.
Residents of Auburn Gresham say that while statisticians debate whether it's the most dangerous neighborhood, there's no doubt it's a place where violence is a big problem.
Some in the community, say that those in the greatest danger are working the area's number one industry: dealing illegal narcotics.
"I think that most of the criminal activity that's going on right now, is related to drugs," says Cheryl Johnson of the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation.
Block Club President Juanita Love has lived in and around the area for 44 years. She and her neighbors claim they've kept trouble away by employing a simple, but very courageous tactic.
"I come out [of the house] and stand," Love says. "More than likely when you come out and stand like that, they're gonna leave."
NeighbhorHoodScout.com says an analysis of 2011 crime statistics revealed Auburn Gresham is the most dangerous neighborhood in Chicago, but police said that it is not the most dangerous--at least, not now. It's in the 6th district, which so far, in 2013 compared to 2011, murder is down 47 percent, shootings down 17 percent, and total crime down 14 percent.
In a community where many have theories about the root of the violence, lifelong Auburn Gresham resident, Carlos Nelson, believes making more psychiatric services available would reduce the toll.
"I think a lot of these shootings…yeah, we're saying they're gang related, because they're in African-American communities or Latin or Mexican communities, that's not always the case," Nelson says.
The three Chicago neighborhoods to make the list include:

The Beauty of Less Is More
Prep Work
When the temperature rises, clothes aren't the only thing we wear less of. Just as fashion changes with the seasons, so should our faces -- and how much makeup we wear.
Just because you're lightening up doesn't mean you can't look fresh and current. Now is the perfect time to experiment with a different shade of shadow or perhaps a new tint for your lips. This season, bright, brilliant colors are the big news in makeup trends. They may look intense, but they go on light and sheer, with just the right amount of color.
It doesn't take much to create a whole new look to go with the new season. Just a product or two in the right places is all you need. Here's how to put your best warm-weather face forward.
Prep skin with a light moisturizer and lip balm, both infused with SPF. This is key. Follow with concealer where it's needed. It's okay to use your fingertips to apply -- just be sure to dab or pat it into the skin to blend instead of wiping or rubbing.
The goal of foundation, concealer, and powder is to make your skin a consistent color without changing the texture. Only use foundation in areas that need to be covered up. Skin, especially in the warm weather, looks best in its natural state. When foundation is applied in thin, even layers, your skin's natural glow will show through, and that's beautiful.

Tallahassee, FL -- Arguably the most exciting moment from Game 2 of the Tallahassee regional didn't even take place on the field.
Florida State Athletic Director Randy Spetman took it on himself to eject some unruly Savannah State fans personally and was greeted by a deafening cheer from the packed house at Dick Howser stadium — as well as some instant Twitter fame.
It was all FSU on the field also, where the host Florida State Seminoles (seeded 7th nationally) dominated Savannah State 10-0 Friday.
The Seminoles gave Golden Spike finalist and Savannah State ace Kyle McGowin a rude reception. Coming into the game, McGowin was 12-1 with a 1.33 ERA in 16 games.
After Florida State was through with him, his ERA had climbed to 2.02. McGowin threw 132 pitches but lasted just five innings, surrendering nine hits and 10 earned runs while walking six.
Designated hitter Marcus Davis and left fielder DJ Stewart were both 3 for 4, Stewart drove in three and scored three runs himself while Davis used to a pair of doubles to plate four.
The Seminoles used a five-run second and a four-run third to blow the game wide open early on. It was already 10-0 by the end of the third.
Scott Sitz was superb on the hill for Florida State. The senior worked 7.1 innings of scoreless baseball, holding Savannah State to just seven hits, while striking out eight and walking no one. It was more than enough to earn him his 10th win of the season.
The Seminoles will take on Troy University Saturday evening in the winner's bracket. The Trojans bested the Alabama Crimson Tide in Game 1 of the regional, 5-2, behind a Trae Santos three-run home run and a solid outing from starter Shane McCain.
Alabama and Savannah State will square off in an elimination game Saturday at noon.

text: The biggest positive in what has been a disappointing Texans season to date has been the sustained success of RB Arian Foster, who is on pace for more than 1,600 yards rushing and has become a significant factor in the passing game, too. Not to be overlooked in Foster's success is the blocking of the offensive line, the way we hear it. Overall, the line has performed better than it did a season ago, with holdover C Chris Myers and ORT Eric Winston impressing, we're told. Also, OLG Wade Smith, in his first season with the club, has made a positive contribution. Foster has enough long speed to outrun the secondary if he hits a crease at full speed, and he has enough power to make his own luck, too. "The Jets are a very good tackling defense and you saw what he did to them," Titans head coach Jeff Fisher said of Foster, who racked up a combined 143 yards vs. New York in Week 11. Fisher also called Foster an "elite" back. Such has been Foster's overall and continued improvement that there are few opportunities for backups Derrick Ward and Steve Slaton, talented players in their own right.

The 5-year-old abducted from her West Philly elementary school classroom is back home, but exactly what happened while she was missing is still unclear.
Investigators say they have not formally interviewed the girl.
At the same time, police are still trying to find the woman who abducted the girl from her classroom.
Earlier Tuesday, the little girl was carried back into the arms of her mother after she was found at 4:30 a.m. by an Upper Darby Good Samaritan who happened to be passing by.
The girl was found wearing only a t-shirt. Police say she was wet and hiding under the sliding board at a playground.
"All she knows was she was in a house and someone released her in a park and told her to run and call the police," Asim Rashid, the girl's grandfather told FOX 29's Chris O'Connell.
Details of the ordeal are still not known. What is clear, police say, is that a woman who identified herself as "Tiffany" walked into Bryant Elementary School and told the girl's teacher she was taking her to breakfast.
The woman was then seen walking out of the school with the girl.
"We don't know who the person was but we believe there is a danger in this community with people preying on children," Rashid said.
Police are now concentrating their search for one or more suspects around the park where she was found.
Sources tell FOX 29 that the little girl was blindfolded, kept under a bed and was given food. Once found, she told police "I've been stolen."
Police say there were no overt signs of any injuries, however, the girl was checked out for physical and sexual abuse.
Mayor Michael Nutter says the city is already planning a celebration to honor the Dragons in the near future.

BSR E1.35-200x, Standard for Lens Quality Measurements for Pattern Projecting Luminaires Intended for Entertainment Use, describes a method for measuring stage and studio luminaire lens quality with particular emphasis on contrast and perceived image quality (sharpness). It also offers a way for presenting these results on a datasheet in a format that is readily understood by a typical end-user and that allows the end-user to directly compare lenses in a meaningful way. There is currently no way to describe how clearly a stage lighting instrument projects an image, other than by showing a person, which is effective, but often inconvenient. Standards exist for projection lenses, but these are not applicable to the lower quality lenses used on stage and studio luminaires.
BSR E1.36-200x, Model Procedure for Permitting the Use of Tungsten- Halogen Incandescent Lamps and Stage and Studio Luminaires in Vendor Exhibit Booths in Convention and Trade Show Exhibition Halls, is a model set of procedures that can be used by convention center and trade show exhibition hall staff to mitigate the risks perceived to be associated with the use of tungsten-halogen lamps and stage and studio luminaires in convention centers and trade show exhibition halls and to allow their use. There is no evidence that tungsten-halogen lamps used in Listed luminaires or that Listed stage and studio luminaires present any greater risk as they are used in exhibition halls than any other light source or type of luminaire in those venues, but the management staff of at least one major convention center in the United States believe that they do have elevated risks. They have moved to prohibit or limit the use of this equipment by exhibitors, but the restrictions are inconsistently enforced, largely because there is no clear procedure to decide when their use is acceptable or not. This draft standard offers a model procedure to permit or not the use of tungsten- halogen lamps and stage and studio luminaires, and helps promote the use of the lamps and luminaires in a safe manner.
In addition to being asked to review the documents to see if they offers adequate and correct advice, reviewers are asked to look for protected intellectual property in the draft standards. ESTA does not warrant that its standards contain no protected intellectual property, but it also does not intend to adopt any standard that requires the use of protected intellectual property, unless that property is necessary for technical reasons and can be licensed and used by anyone without prejudice or preference for a reasonable fee. Any protected intellectual property in the document should be pointed out in the public review comments.
