We've already been talking about Prince Fielder's signing with the Detroit Tigers for nearly two days, but that was based on various reports from… various reporters.
Now, at last, the Tigers have officially announced this signing, via their official Twitter account, which you know is official because it is called OFFICIAL_TIGERS:
Tigers have agreed to terms on a nine-year contract with first baseman Prince Fielder. #tigers
Glad to know that we didn't waste the last two days talking about something that wasn't going to eventually be official!
Anyway, all of this will be presented to the world in a news conference Thursday afternoon, according to Fox Sports Detroit:
Watch the Prince Fielder press conference live at 2 pm on FOX Sports Detroit and streamed at http://FoxSportsDetroit.com #Tigers
That's 2 p.m. Eastern time; do your own time-zone conversion.
For more on Prince and the Tigers, please visit our SB Nation Tigers site, Bless You Boys.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Theyskens' Theory's Spring ads hit the Web today, created by an all-star lineup: photog Willy Vanderperre (Raf Simons' go-to guy), stylist Olivier Rizzo (who works his magic for Prada and just about everyone else), Theyskens himself (who contributed his own photo of a Belgian seascape), and model of the moment Wylie Hays. And why Wylie? "She is the quintessential Theyskens' Theory girl," the designer told us. "I find her an extremely modern beauty and youth." Expect plenty of other designers to feel the same this Fall '13 season.

In Part 1 of this comprehensive preview of the Texas Longhorns men's basketball 2011-12 season, Burnt Orange Nation takes a look at the four freshman guards arriving in Austin this winter.
A close look at the four high school basketball players who signed with the Texas Longhorns on Wednesday. Burnt Orange Nation scouts Myck Kabongo, Sheldon McClellan, Julien Lewis, and Jonathan Holmes.
2011 Winter Park (FL) shooting guard Austin Rivers, who is currently committed to Florida, but has opened up his recruitment, plans on visiting Austin, most likely in late June. Rivers is also considering Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, and Kentucky, as well as the possibility of sticking with his commitment to the Gators. He has no other visits planned, but Duke is reportedly in good shape for his services. The Longhorns already have four commitments in the 2011 class, including two guards in Myck Kabongo and Julien Lewis and a wing in Sheldon McClellan, raising questions about how necessary it is to add another guard to the class. The medical redshirt for Varez Ward extends his eligibility as well. Conventional wisdom has long held that Texas would like to add another big to the class, with Rakeem Christmas the top target, but Rivers may be too good to pass up -- he's ranked no. 6 in the class in the new Rivals rankings. However, the Longhorns are probably a longshot, though the visit could change everything.
Burnt Orange Nation breaks down the attendees of the Texas Elite Camp for basketball, as well as the players at the NBPA Top 100 Camp in whom in the Longhorns are interested.
Morning Coffee covers the latest Longhorn to make a commitment to play for Rick Barnes, as well as an out-of-state prospect for 2011 and updates on the 2010 quarterbacks already committed.
Sheldon McClellan a 6'5" Guard out of Houston Bellaire became the third member of the 2011 Texas basketball recruiting class($). "The first two visits, I went to the A&M and OU games. I liked...

There's some light at the end of the tunnel for a Jackson man who's dealt with no electricity to his home for the last month.
Otha Amos says some maintenance workers showed up at his house Monday morning to fix the damaged wiring. Entergy had cut power to the home in November because frayed wiring was a fire risk.
"Our meter reader, who went out to do the monthly reading to determine the amount of electricity used, noticed that the meter had damaged wires," said Entergy spokesperson Mara Hartmann. "If you've got damaged wires and electricity coming through, something could catch fire."
Sunday Amos said his landlord, Napolean Moore, refused to pay for the repairs.
"He don't answer my calls," said Amos. "I fooled him one time and called on my nephew's home, and then he answered. And I asked him, how come you didn't call me back. He said 'I don't have to call you back.'"
We tried contacting Moore, but he didn't return our calls.
Today, it was a different story. Amos says the landlord apparently paid for the workers to fix the problem.
Amos said the workers will have to turn a permit in to the city of Jackson, certifying the repairs. From there, his power should be restored within the next 24 hours.
That's good news for Amos who has been living in the house without heat.
"I got like five, six blankets on the bed and I put some clothes on top of there, and then I get under there," said Amos.

Faulty washing machine blamed for Keighley house blaze
9:18am Friday 30th November 2012 in News By Miran Rahman
A faulty washing machine was believed to be the cause of a blaze which badly damaged the kitchen of a house in Bronte Street, Keighley, early this morning.
Two fire engines from the Keighley station were called to the terraced property, off Bradford Road, at about 12.30am.
Watch commander Chris Hannah said the occupant had been out when the fire started but discovered it on his return.
The fire crews wore breathing apparatus and used two hose reels to extinguish the blaze.
Watch commander Hannah said the firefighters remained at the scene for an hour-and-a-half.
He added that the house was fitted with smoke detectors, which had functioned correctly.
People wanting smoke detectors and a free home safety check should contact Keighley Fire Station on 01535 607401.

A teen is being praised for saving her brother from choking.
director Greg Burke announced Thursday afternoon Northwestern State has agreed
to multi-year contract extensions with coaches who have accomplished remarkable
turnarounds in just their second seasons leading their programs, baseball coach
Lane Burroughs and women's basketball co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr.
lauded Burroughs, the Stoehrs and their staffs and players for revitalizing
tradition-rich programs and creating championship cultures with impressive
performances in recently-completed seasons. The privately-funded contract
revisions are subject to the approval of the Board of Supervisors of the
University of Louisiana system, which includes Northwestern.
"I'm very
pleased to announce these agreements with our outstanding head coaches in
baseball and women's basketball," said Burke, wrapping up his 18th
year as athletics director as the longest-tenured AD in Louisiana and the
Southland Conference. "They have been wonderful additions to our athletic
program and university community. They are important cogs in a progression that
has developed a true family bond throughout our department, and a level of
success competitively across the board that is arguably at an all-time high for
us here at Northwestern State."
contract extensions are the latest in a series of moves solidifying a
highly-accomplished coaching staff at Northwestern State. Veteran men's
basketball coach Mike McConathy , the state's all-time winningest
college basketball coach, became the first NSU coach to receive a multi-year
contract in 2006 and is under contract through 2018 with an automatic rollover
for future years. Softball coach Donald Pickett, who has guided NSU to
consecutive NCAA Tournaments and 75 wins in the past two seasons, last year
received an extension for a multi-year deal through 2018, while volleyball
co-head coaches Hugh and Stephanie Hernesman have a multi-year contract through
2016 and have posted the two best seasons in school history in 2012 and 2013
heading into a 2014 season in which NSU will host the Southland Conference
Tournament with a senior-laden team that was three points shy of winning the
tourney last year.
"We have
great things going on throughout our athletic program, and among the biggest
factors are the head coaches we have in every sport. These contract extensions
shine the spotlight on two sports that have not only experienced rapid
turnarounds, but have established the culture and competitive foundation for
continued excellence and even more excitement in the seasons to come," Burke
said. "Brooke and Scott Stoehr, Lane Burroughs and their coaching staffs are
emblematic of our cornerstone values – academic achievement, personal
responsibility and competitive success.
their attributes and accomplishments, we are demonstrating our long-term,
strong commitment to these coaches and their programs, while at the same time
using this occasion to celebrate the surge of success that we've enjoyed since
last spring in NSU Athletics," said Burke.
Since the start
of 2013, six Northwestern teams (2013 men's basketball, 2013 women's tennis,
2013 softball, 2014 women's basketball, 2014 women's tennis, 2014 softball)
have won Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, with
five advancing to NCAA Tournament play, while six track and field athletes have
earned All-America honors with top 16 finishes at NCAA Championship meets in
2013 and 2014. The football team, under first-year coach Jay Thomas, posted its
best record since 2008 and won three of its last four games, including a
victory over nationally-ranked Central Arkansas. Women's soccer, in its second
season under coach George Van Linder, posted the program's most victories since
2005 in Southland play last fall.
2014 Demons, targeted for a 10th-place finish in the Southland
Conference preseason coaches' poll, set a league record with the biggest
one-season turnaround in Southland play, posting a 19-11 record for a 14-win
improvement as NSU contended for the conference crown into the final weekend of
the regular season before a third-place finish. Overall, the Demons finished
33-26, tying a school record for most improved record with 17 more wins than in
Burroughs' rebuilding first season as head coach.
The Demons
made big strides in the Southland Conference Tournament, picking up the
program's first two league tourney victories since 2006, including knocking
regular-season champion and NCAA Fort Worth Regional finalist Sam Houston State
out of the tournament. NSU's only two losses came in a pair of ninth-inning
defeats at the hands of tournament champion Southeastern Louisiana, one of only
two of 10 Southland teams to win regular-season series with the Demons.
The Stoehrs
were voted the Louisiana collegiate women's basketball coaches of the year
following a 21-win season that carried the Lady Demons into the NCAA
Tournament. After taking over a program that won just six games in 2012 and had
only two Southland Conference victories, they steered a resurgence which
carried NSU to 11 conference victories in 2013-14 and the first 20-win season
(21-13) for NSU since 2004-05. That was accomplished with a team picked for
eighth place in the preseason league coaches' poll.
The Lady
Demons surged to the Southland Conference Tournament championship with
nailbiting wins over fifth-seeded Nicholls State and regular-season co-champion
Lamar before whipping top-seeded and regular-season co-champion Stephen F.
Austin 62-44 in the finals.
They drew a
first-round NCAA matchup with top-seeded Tennessee on the Lady Vols' homecourt
in Knoxville, but were undaunted. With a starting five including three players
who did not have another Division I scholarship offer, Northwestern State
battled a Tennessee team with eight prep All-Americans to a virtual standoff
for more than half the game, with a tie score shortly after halftime in an
eventual 70-46 defeat.
women's basketball and baseball have shown impressive performance by
student-athletes in the classroom, with team grade point averages soaring over
3.0 on a 4.0 scale.

---- — We're making some progress.
A quick look at the unemployment numbers just released will tell you that. Cass County is down to 6.5 percent, its lowest level since October 2008. And there's more good news on the job front as several local companies have announced new jobs — 25 at Carter Fuel Systems, 30 at the former Modine manufacturing facility, 48 at Scott's Square truck stop in Clymers, and 25 at Cass City Center.
But if we want to take this progress to the next level, we must equip ourselves to play the game.
The hard truth of the matter is if a major investment came knocking at our door tomorrow, we wouldn't be ready.
That's the message Jim Hayden gave during his outgoing address as the 2013 board chairman of the City of Logansport Economic Development organization.
And if the real estate market is any indication, some area leaders seem to agree.
Economic development leaders and real estate brokers around Cass County are saying the local market has seen fewer houses listed at this time than normal, and very few houses suitable for a key demographic: Mid-level employees who want to move their families close to their work.
Finding a move-in-ready, mid-level home in Logansport has proved taxing for some.
The problem with that is real estate is one of the first things businesses look at when they're thinking of opening a facility or office in a city. If there's a lack of housing for middle and upper management positions, it puts a community at a competitive disadvantage when trying to attract or retain workers.
And what's worse, local real estate agents tell us, some of those middle and upper management employees are working in Logansport and buying houses in Kokomo and Lafayette, or around the lakes in Monticello and Rochester.
That's money flying through our hands.
We've heard from several leaders that housing is a problem, and we agree. Since we already know it's clearly a problem, we need to come together and find a solution.
Some say that solution might be attracting a mid-level housing development. It's been several years since a spec homes project was developed in Logansport.
Is it time to go after another one?
It's a question that needs answered before opportunity knocks. And given the progress we've been seeing, it's a knock we're confident is coming.
THE ISSUE Lack of available mid-level housing in Logansport OUR VIEW Is it time to go after a housing development?

Bordeaux is a lovely city near the Bay of Biscay along the shores of the Garonne river. While many know the name for the wine, Carlson students know that it is also an enchanting French city ripe with 18th century architecture, a cosmopolitan city life, and the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to succeed in the global business environment. Bordeaux is one hour from Dune du Pyla, a beach situated at the entrance of the Bay of Arcachon which boasts the largest sand formation in Europe.
BEM Management School (BEM), founded in 1874, provides top quality instruction in the fields of business and management in a rich global context with 20% of all students coming from abroad.

A Collection of Funny Scrum Videos
Richard Hundhausen has put together a great list of funny Scrum/Agile related videos. Some of these are classics such as High Moon Studios: Portrait of Scrum and Adam Weisbart's Shit Bad Scrum Masters say.
Be warned, not all of these are actually that funny. I've never found The Downfall of Agile Hitler to be funny, because the original film is harrowing and difficult to watch. I also find the Scrum Haka to be trite and unwatchable … this is what a real haka should look like.
So here's the list and, once you're done (in the words of Adam Weisbart), "Get back to work!"

The Tenmile Range is an extension of the Mosquito Range, both part of Colorado's Rocky Mountains. The ranges are demarcated by the Continental Divide, with Tenmile on the west side. Peak 1 and Quandary Peaks serve as the northern and southern most boundaries of the range. Several of the higher numbered peaks in the range mark the upper boundary of Breckenridge ski resort. The range is ~11.8 miles in length from the summit of Mt. Royal (subpeak of Peak 1) to the summit of Quandary Peak.
Getting There
The trailheads are easily accessed from highways I-70, CO 91, and CO 9 out of Frisco and Breckenridge. Access options range from a hike or bike to a chairlift during ski season.

Snow causes motorway problems
Updated 10:16am Friday 24th January 2014 in News By Rhys Thomas, T&A Reporter
Heavy snowfall was causing misery for motorists on the M62 near Bradford and Brighouse this evening.
The snow fell at 4.30pm, causing hazardous driving conditions on the westbound carriageway between junctions 25 (Brighouse) and 23 (Huddersfield).
Traffic was affected back to junction 26 (Chain Bar), said the Highways Agency.
The worst conditions were said to be at junction 24 (Ainley Top), although lorries were reportedly struggling to get up inclines between junctions 25 and 23.

A non-profit animal rescue is being sued for nearly $20,000 in unpaid vet bills. Companion Animal Care of Madison filed the lawsuit against Madison Animal Rescue Foundation (MARF).
Companion Animal Care said they provided services to MARF at extremely discounted prices. After more than a year of providing services, the owner said payments started lagging, then stopped coming at all.
"The payments quit coming," said Companion Animal Care Vet David Alford. "And emails and face-to-face meetings didn't solve anything."
Alford says he was left no option but to file a lawsuit against MARF for breach of contract. It states the non-profit owes Companion Animal Care nearly $20,000, plus interest, costs and attorneys' fees.
"I stretched monetarily as much as I could," said Alford. "Probably the most disheartening thing was simply never hearing back from them, never having an explanation."
Thursday evening, WAFF received a statement from MARF. It says in part:
"After only a preliminary review of the records, it is apparent that Companion Animal Care's claim is significantly overstated. This discrepancy revealed the need for a more thorough examination of the records and raised the possibility that MARF may have overpaid for services by Companion Animal Care."

The Back Story:
First and only meeting of the season. The teams split two games last season, with the road team winning both times.
- November 12, 2010 in Los Angeles - Detroit 113 - Clippers 107 - Box Score Recap
- December 17, 2010 in Detroit - Clippers 109 - Detroit 88 - Box Score Recap
The Big Picture:
The Clippers have not won consecutive games for over a month now. At home against a team with a 4-17 record would seem like a near lock for a win, which would give them two in a row -- but then again, at home against a Suns team that was resting Steve Nash and Grant Hill seemed like a lock as well. As did at home against a Warriors team essentially without Steph Curry. Let's face it; there are no gimmes for the Clippers right now. Yesterday's matinee was a case in point -- Houston was playing without three starters, and with only seven players not counting a couple of D-League call-ups. Yet the Rockets led almost the entire game, and it took some fourth quarter heroics by Chris Paul to pull out the win in the end. But at least it was a win: the fourth quarter has mostly been where the Clippers have been losing games lately. Hopefully Nick Young will be in uniform today -- the team could certainly use a jolt of some sort, and maybe Young can provide it.
The Antagonist:
The Pistons have won 12 of their last twenty after beginning the season 4-20. But their road record remains a dismal 4-17, and many of their recent wins have come against teams even worst off than they. Still, the Clippers can't afford to take any team lightly at this point -- the Lakers took the Pistons lightly recently and paid for it. Detroit is led in scoring by second year center Greg Monroe and by point guard Rodney Stuckey, both in the 16-17 range. Monroe is turning into a very nice player -- but the rest of the Pistons roster is kind of a mess. Stuckey is a nice enough player, but the team seems a little lukewarm on him -- he was a free agent this summer, and they eventually gave him a three year deal at $8.5MM per, but the final year of that is unguaranteed. I'm not really sure who else on the roster the Pistons might consider to be keepers, with the possible exception of rookie Brandon Knight from Kentucky.
The Subplots
- Today's Special Guest Recapper. Yours truly.
- The Questionable Blogger. Be sure to check out the Q&A with Detroit Bad Boys blogger Mike Payne. Also, head over there to see my answers to Mike's questions as well.
- Key Pistons Metrics:
Pace: 88.9 (29th of 30 NBA teams)
Off Rtg: 101.3 (25th of 30)
Def Rtg: 107.6 (25th of 30)
A slow pace and as bad on defense as they are on offense. Oh goody.
- Key Clippers Metrics:
89.4 (27th of 30)
Off Rtg: 108.1 (5th of 30)
Def Rtg: 105.9 (21st of 30)
- Last meeting. These two teams haven't played each other in 15 months -- they did not play each other the entire calendar year of 2011. But the last meeting has some significance for last season's Clippers team, as it marked a turning point in that season. It was the first road win of the season, but more importantly, a team that had been 5-21 heading into the game went on to post a 27-29 record the rest of the season. The 10-11 Clippers turned their season around in Detroit. Maybe a win over the Pistons can get this team back on the right track.
- Home stand. It wasn't supposed to be this way. The Clippers six game home stand featured games against three teams with overall losing records, and five teams with losing road records. They beat the Hawks, the only team that was .500 on the road, but have lost to multiple teams they should have beaten. They stand at 2-3 entering the sixth and final game of the home stand -- a win lets them come away with a 3-3 split -- not good, but better than the alternative. They start a road back-to-back-to-back on Tuesday, so they could certainly use a win now before that nightmare.
- How will Detroit defend Blake? Jason Maxiell is strong but undersized. Monroe is much longer -- but not as bulky. I suspect the Pistons will put Monroe on Blake, since he has some trouble with length.
- Paul. Chris Paul scored 23 in yesterday's win over Houston -- but he only had 2 in the first half. The Clippers are simply a better team when Paul is being aggressive on offense and looking to score. Let's hope he realizes that and gets it going a little sooner today.
- Bledsoe. Eric Bledsoe played only 2 minutes against Houston. The problem is that Houston's guards are big, and Vinny Del Negro can't afford to devote too many minutes to undersized guards in those situations. With Chris Paul and Mo Williams required for their scoring, Bledsoe is the odd man out. Stucky is 6'5" and Brandon Knight is 6'3", so there could be a similar problem against Detroit.
- Nick Young. There's no indication that Young will be make his Clippers debut today. As he was part of a five player, three team deal, he has to wait until all of those players have taken their physicals with their new teams -- they have until Monday to do so. So although Ramon Sessions debuted for the Lakers Friday, a day after the trade deadline, and Stephen Jackson has seen action in San Antonio, Young may have to wait until Tuesday in Indiana to play for his new team.
- The 2007 Draft. The Young acquisition has me thinking about the 2007 draft. The Clippers took Al Thornton with the 14th pick, Stuckey went to Detroit at 15, and Young went to Washington at 16. The Clippers had worked out Young and considered drafting him at the time. That's the same draft that saw Greg Oden go fist overall to Portland -- the Blazers finally cut their losses on that pick on Thursday when they waived Oden. Oden, Thornton, Acie Law and Julian Wright are 2007 lottery picks who are now out of the league, and there are many more first rounders that are no longer NBA players as well.
- Joe Dumars - Hero to Zero. When the Pistons won the NBA Championship in 2004 and advanced at least as far as the Eastern Conference playoffs many more years in succession, Joe Dumars was hailed as a front office genius. He had signed Chauncey Billups, and traded for Ben Wallace, drafted Tayshaun Prince and acquired Rasheed Wallace for the playoff push. He could do no wrong. (Though of course he could, as he'd already drafted Darko Milicic ahead of Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh at that point.) Seven years later, the Pistons are a mess, and Dumars is largely to blame. His trade of Billups for Allen Iverson was a disaster from a basketball standpoint, though it did have the advantage of saving money. He then took that money and signed Gordon and Villanueva on the first day of free agency in 2009, to contracts that were absurd from the moment they were conceived. Of course Dumars was never the genius that everyone said back in 2004, nor the idiot they say he is now - just relatively lucky or unlucky.
From the Urban Dictionary:
piston head
n. One who is very interested in the mechanics of vehicles, particularly luxury or sports cars. Similar to a gear head.
The only thing more boring than a piston head is a gear head

By Steven Suskin
19 Nov 2013
As Jason Robert Brown prepares for what promises to be his breakthrough year on Broadway, he has stopped in for a week at 54 Below through Nov. 23. He brings along songs from The Bridges of Madison County (which previews at the Schoenfeld Jan. 2014) and Honeymoon in Vegas (which will no doubt appear as soon as a theatre can be found, and which has already been anointed a major hit by New York's most powerful theatre critic).
Brown, of course, is the Hal Prince protégé who burst on the scene in 1998 at the age of 28 with the Tony Award-winning score for Parade, but whose subsequent visits with Urban Cowboy and 13 have been inauspicious. Another musical, The Last Five Years, had an unsuccessful run when it premiered Off-Broadway in 2002 but has had a healthy afterlife, including a Second Stage revival last April and a forthcoming film adaptation.
Brown has remained constantly active for the last 15 years, and Vegas (which played a tryout at the Paper Mill Playhouse in October) demonstrated that he has learned how to make effective use of his composing and lyric-writing talents.
The evening took off immediately with a rousing group rendition of "The New World" from Songs for a New World. Brown followed this himself, singing "I Love Betsy" from Honeymoon in Vegas. ("Just like Jay-Z and Beyoncé," the hero sings in his laugh-out-loud lyric, "I will make her my fiancée.") Also from that show comes the heroine's opening solo, "Anywhere But Here," nicely sung by Bashor. Next up was Williamson with "The Lamest Place in the World" (from 13), after which Karr sang one of the songs Brown interpolated into the quickly-forgotten Urban Cowboy, "It Don't Get Better Than This."
At this point the act moved into high gear with two songs from The Bridges of Madison County. Brown sang "It All Fades Away," which should instantly take its place on the composer's "best song" list when the show opens. Bashor, who will play a featured role in the show, countered with a second winner, "Another Life."
Brown and his combo followed with the instrumental highlight of the act, "Break Me Blues," which was equaled by Williamson's delivery of "I Send My Love." Karr then topped it all with the wildly vibrant "Advice to the Playaz." Shakespeare, that is; for the 50th Anniversary bash at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, MN, this spring, Brown took Hamlet's "advice to the players" speech and set it on its contemporary ear. Karr, a replacement in the Broadway production of Spring Awakening, sang it trippingly on the tongue, all right.
Brown finished the show with "Caravan of Angels" — a love song written for his 10th anniversary — and a group rendition of "A Little More Homework" from 13. For a traditional encore, the composer gave a rousing impression of "Moving Too Fast" from The Last Five Years.
Brown followed this with a highly untraditional encore, first dismissing the band and singers and begging us to hold for a moment of silence at the end of the song. "Twenty-Six Names" ("All Things in Time") is a memorial to the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, just eleven months ago. It was a stunning, heartfelt, and important end to an otherwise high-flying musical evening with Brown.

The longtime coroner for Savannah and surrounding Chatham County has resigned after an audit questioned more than $200,000 in expenses billed to the county over the last decade.
The Savannah Morning News reports Dr. James C. Metts Jr. resigned on Dec. 14, barely a month after winning re-election. The 81-year-old coroner cited his age and personal circumstances.
The newspaper reported Sunday that Chatham County officials ordered an audit of Metts' expenses over the summer. A draft report last month showed Metts was reimbursed $46,930 over 18 months to pay a secretary, though no such position existed. Other expenses billed to the county included insurance for personal automobiles and a $1,638 payment to the county Republican Party.
The newspaper says it contacted Metts and he declined to comment.

State regulators Thursday cleared Southern California Edison to raise electricity rates by 5 percent in order to cover the cost of providing ''safe and reliable'' electricity and integrating renewable energy sources.
The rate increase was shy of the 16.6 percent requested by the private utility.
The California Public Utilities Commission ordered Edison to try harder to cut costs, and the commission disallowed some of what it called "non-essential'' projects. The ruling will force the utility to cut operations and maintenance expenses by about $258 million and spending on capital projects by $756 million.
CPUC Commissioner Timothy Alan Simon, who led the review, said the decision strikes a balance between the goals of the utility and protecting ratepayers.
"This decision ensures that SCE is able to invest in smart energy systems, renewables and safety and reliability while its ratepayers are protected under the CPUC's prudent review,'' Simon said.
The decision authorizes Edison to beef up equipment inspections and to use new technology to better track the condition and service record of the utility's assets. Regulators also ordered an independent review of SCE's system utility poles to determine whether current loads meet legal standards and an independent audit of SCE's spending on infrastructure repair and replacement.
The report by the CPUC addressed widespread criticism over Southern California Edison's response to a 2011 windstorm. The commission required SCE to the commission with a progress report next year on the utility's stated commitments to improve communications with customers during emergencies.
"While today's decision results in a rate increase for SCE's ratepayers, this is a necessary investment in our future. We need to do a more thorough job in monitoring, maintaining, and replacing our aging electricity infrastructure. We also need to modernize and enhance our electricity system to better achieve the state's environmental policy goals,'' Commissioner Mike Florio said. "We will be vigilant to ensure that SCE will spend every penny wisely.''


text: The coldest place in the Universe is shaped like an A 26 October 13 by Duncan Geere Tweet Boomerang NebulaBill Saxton; NRAO/AUI/NSF; NASA/Hubble; Raghvendra Sahai A team of astronomers have pointed their telescopes at the Boomerang Nebula in an attempt to gain some insight into the coldest-known object in the Universe.The scientists wanted to probe the nebula's true shape and frigid temperatures, following observations with ground-based telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope. They aimed the Atacama Large Millimetre/Submillimetre Array (Alma) at the constellation Centaurus, where it resides around 5,000 light years away.It's believed that the nebula consists of a star system evolving towards the planetary nebula phase, where an elderly red giant has ejected its shell of ionised gas as it comes to the end of its life.The nebula is notable as its temperature has been measured at just 1K (about -272C), making it the coldest thing we've ever seen in the Universe. By contrast, the background temperature of interstellar space is a fairly uniform 2.8K (-270C), due to the faint afterglow from the Big Bang.Previous observations had shown the nebula with a lopsided appearance, or with an hourglass-like structure. The latest observations, however, show that this hourglass may have concealed its true shape.By observing how carbon monoxide is distributed within the nebula, the researchers were able to penetrate the dense cloud of millimetre-sized dust particles surrounding the nebula. The dust cloud shades the central star, allowing its light to escape in narrow, opposite directions, giving it the appearance of an hourglass."This ultra-cold object is extremely intriguing and we're learning much more about its true nature with ALMA," said Raghvendra Sahai, a researcher and principal scientist at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "What seemed like a double lobe, or 'boomerang' shape, from Earth-based optical telescopes, is actually a much broader structure that is expanding rapidly into space." He added: "This is important for the understanding of how stars die and become planetary nebulae. Using Alma, we were quite literally and figuratively able to shed new light on the death throes of a Sun-like star."

BETHLEHEM Ś ItÆs Easter morning. A boy rouses his younger brother, and they run to the living room to find their baskets filled with Ś what else? Ś Peeps.
ōPeeps are THE candy of Easter,ö the excited boy tells his wide-eyed sibling, who pops a yellow marshmallow chick in his mouth.
ōYou can eat æem, smash æem, microwave æem, deep fry æem, roast æem on a stick,ö the boy explains. ThatÆs not all. You can make ōhistorically accurate Peeps dioramas ... Peeps pop art ... You can make a Peeps topiary.ö On he goes, all day and night. ōPeeps jousting ... hide-and-go Peeps ... Peepshi ... thatÆs sushi made out of Peeps.ö
As the storied candy brand celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, PeepsÆ first TV ad in a decade captures an essential truth about the spongy confection made of sugar, corn syrup and gelatin: Love them or hate them, people do all sorts of things with Peeps, only some of which involve giving them to kids at Easter or eating them straight from the box.
And theyÆre not shy about sharing.
ōEveryone seems to have a Peeps story,ö says Ross Born, third-generation operator of Just Born Inc., which hatches 5 million Peeps a day at its plant 60 miles north of Philadelphia (http://apne.ws/12A8iCH ). ōAnd they are free and willing to talk about how they eat their Peeps, how they cure them, how they store them, how they decorate with them. And these are adults!ö
Just Born calls it the ōPeepsonalityö of consumers who buy Peeps not only to eat, but also to play around with.
ōIf you had asked me about this 25 years ago, I wouldÆve been rather bewildered about the whole thing,ö Born confesses. ōWe were candy makers.ö
Not that heÆs complaining. Just Born had its best year financially in 2012.
His grandfather, Russian immigrant Sam Born, started the candy company out of a Brooklyn storefront 90 years ago. Born advertised the freshness of his product with a sign that said ōJust Born.ö The name stuck.
The burgeoning business moved to Bethlehem and acquired the Peeps brand with its 1953 purchase of Rodda Candy Co. of Lancaster. Best known for its jelly beans, Rodda had also introduced a small line of marshmallow chicks and bunnies, employing dozens of women who hand-squeezed them out of pastry bags. ōIt was really very difficult, and these women were strong,ö said David Shaffer, Sam BornÆs nephew and co-CEO along with Ross Born.
RossÆs father, Bob Born - a physicist and engineer by training - automated the process in the mid-1950s, and a version of the machine he invented is still in use today, extruding millions of those familiar shapes on peak-Peep production days.
The company, whose other brands are Hot Tamales, Mike and Ike, and GoldenbergÆs Peanut Chews, has never suffered an unprofitable year. But its growth has always been relatively slow, steady and controlled, and a few years ago, Born and Shaffer decided they wanted to accelerate it.
The longtime partners brought in a new management team, spent heavily on marketing and broke back into the chocolate business, introducing chocolate-dipped Peeps as well as Peepsters, small chocolate candies filled with marshmallow-flavored cream. (New for this year is a yellow chick nestled in a hollow chocolate egg.) They also focused on holiday seasons other than Easter, particularly Christmas.
The result: Shaffer says last year was ōoff the charts.ö While Just Born is privately held and does not disclose revenue, he says it posted double-digit growth across all brands. And Shaffer sees more growth potential as the confectioner works to position its products in warehouse clubs and convenience stores.
Just Born certainly benefits from being part of a $33 billion candy industry that is seen as basically recession-proof, offering an inexpensive indulgence during tough economic times.
ōCandy did not seem to take the hit that some other industries faced in recent years. We think a big reason for that is candyÆs place in our hearts and minds,ö says Susan Whiteside of the National Confectioners Association, a trade group.
Long associated with Easter, Peeps have penetrated the pop-culture consciousness in a way that other candy brands have not.
Aficionados send chicks into battle in a microwave ōsportö known as Peeps jousting. They enter Peeps art contests, dozens of which are held around the country this time of year. They innovate recipes like ōPeepza,ö a desert pizza. They write cheeky blog entries with titles like ō101 Fun Ways to Torture a Peep.ö
Hoping to capitalize, Just Born recently opened three Peeps & Company retail stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Minnesota.
While the company churns out more than 1 billion Peeps this Easter season - a record - it sees the 60th anniversary as another marketing opportunity and a chance to connect with its fans via social media. In addition to the TV ad campaign, itÆs promoting a Facebook survey that asks knowing questions like this one: Do you like your Peeps fresh, frozen, or ōaged to perfectionö?
So which is it, Ross Born? Fresh or stale?
HeÆs happy to address that perennial Peeps debate. Just donÆt ask him to take sides.
ōThereÆs a lot of gray area here,ö Born says diplomatically. ōThere are people who tell me they put a one-inch slice in the film (that seals the box), and theyÆll lay it on top of their refrigerator for two days. No more, no less. Then they are PERFECT to eat.
ōSo itÆs not necessarily stale, itÆs just a little firmer. All right? ItÆs just like politics,ö says Just BornÆs commander-in-Peep. ōYouÆve got people way on one side, and way on the other side, but there are a whole lot of people in the middle.ö

Easy Creamed Spinach
When you're ready to prepare spinach, discard any yellow leaves and tough stems. Spinach can be gritty, so to clean it, swish it around in several changes of cool water until there's no grit left at the bottom of the bowl.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- coarse salt and ground pepper
- 3 to 4 bunches (2 1/2 pounds total) flat-leaf spinach, trimmed and cleaned
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 medium onion, minced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 ounces bar cream cheese, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
- pinch ground nutmeg
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spinach, and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander; rinse with cold water until cool. Squeeze spinach to remove as much liquid as possible; coarsely chop, and set aside.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, heat butter over medium. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add cream cheese and milk; cook, stirring, until cream cheese is melted and smooth. Stir in spinach. Simmer over medium heat until mixture thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Add nutmeg; season with salt and pepper.

Love this recipe. I happened to have some roasted garlic cloves and I also used frozen spinach. I sprinkled a little fresh grated parmesean cheese on top for a nice finish and flavor.
engella0924 Jul, 2010
What a delicious -- and super easy! -- gem of a recipe. I'm a firm believer that cream cheese goes with almost anything, and this is no exception. Perfectly creamy, perfectly tasty. Had no ground nutmeg on hand so threw in just a touch of pumpkin pie spice and it was delish! Will definitely make again.
tay246717 Feb, 2009
I didn't boil or chop the spinach, I just sauteed in a little and chopped bacon and then added the spinach to the sauce. Best spinach recipe EVER! I would encourage anyone to try this...really great as a type of relish with steaks. KILLER RECIPE!

made this even without the nutmeg and loved it!

What I love so much about this pattern...it reminds me of the beaches of Greece.
I love it! Just wish all the white circular pieces that are sewn on were all solid white. One is almost totally brown, shich makes it look dirty compared to all the other white ones.
Really pretty. The colors are beautifu, again as in another instance I may even use it in another bedding arrangement in which case I will be ordering again... Looks custom- saves me alot of time and expense. Thank you!
I bought 2 of these aqua pillows to decorate a new bedroom. The quality was very good and the color & style matched that shown on the website (the aqua color is possibly a bit darker, but a beautiful hue). I use them as accent pillows for a different patterned comforter which had an aqua blue stripe. This is my first purchase from Designer Living and I am very satisfied with it.

Reading post 615805 in main thread
The same old mistake all over again
January 6th, 2012
France had a mutual defense agreement with Poland in 1939 and it didn't help Poland much (or France). Moreover, nothing indicates that the American public would go to war with China over Taiwan. They would be far more concerned if football players went on strike, than if China recovered part of its territory (it is more like the Sudetenland than like Poland)
Taiwan cannot hope to defend itself from tens of thousands of Chinese long range missiles, the Chinese air force, paratroopers and ships equipped with radar guided, very rapid fire cannon that can shoot down SS missiles. The Taiwanese know it and will have to yield eventually.
The Monroe doctrine didn't prevent Russia from owning Alaska, France from invading Mexico or Spain from owning Cuba (until the beginning of the 20th century). It is just as easy to make agreements and policies as it is to ignore them when real danger threatens.

"It's an interesting characteristic of Sara that she can identify macro trends," says Maria Gotsch of the New York City Investment Fund, a private organization that provides startup capital for civically useful projects. "She saw the shift in the workforce, where people were no longer being tied to an employer, and she understood what that meant for collective benefits. She'd done a lot of thinking about the macro forces in place." Horowitz's North Star is to improve the lives of this new and growing category of American worker. Every move she makes, big or small, is steered by this overarching idea.
This fall saw the opening of the Freelancers Medical Center in Brooklyn, where members get zero copay care and free yoga classes, among other perks. She next envisions a new form of unemployment insurance for the contractor class — helping freelancers make it through dry spells the same way that fired full-time employees can rely on the government for support. And there's that spot on the New York Fed board. ("We need to bring the freelancer's viewpoint into national discussions over capital and finance," she says.) Horowitz can toss around highfalutin' discourse on Northern Italian cooperative regions, the history of trade unionism and the concept of "new mutualism." But her focus always remains on achieving tangible results.

Paramount is in it for the money. That's why any trademark owner owns a trademark. Trust me - they've not forgotten the faithful old guard; when this movie is released there will be plenty of brand-spanking new "real TOS" merchandise for those people to spend money on. Just yesterday at the drugstore, I saw a special set of TOS Pez dispensers with the likenesses of the seven TOS actors for sale.
I know he was asked. And I even know he's doing it for the money. It is his job. He's a movie director and producer. But as with any job, if you're in it just for the money, it's time to leave and do something you benefit from both financially and spiritually. (whatever you take that to mean)
He's also apparently been tasked with the seemingly im
job of breathing new life into the fanchise. That means market. This isn't the 60's anymore. This is not a new thing just now being introduced. It's Star Trek. It's been around for a long time and is on life support. Some say pull the plug, others say give it a new soul. Abrams is attempting the latter.
