And Henry Flagler and his workers fought the Everglades themselves when they constructed the first railroad down the Florida peninsula in the early 1900s, opening up this vast marshland to development.
As human population expanded in South Florida, the humans became involved in a battle with Everglades -- a battle over freshwater and empty land.

The Times 2014 Christmas appeal
The Times is inviting all good causes to apply to be one of our featured charities in this year's Christmas appeal
The Times Christmas Appeal: Charlton manager joins campaign to warn fans about prostate cancer, reports Alex Lowe
Chris Powell sees his position as Charlton Athletic manager as being about more than just delivering results, which is why he agreed to become an ambassador for Prostate Cancer UK to help to deliver a vital message to black men in the UK.
The Football League has been running a "Men United versus Prostate Cancer" campaign to help to make supporters aware of a disease that kills one man every hour and encourage them to be checked.
Powell's message is aimed specifically at black men, who are particularly susceptible to the disease. The latest figures show that one in four black men will develop prostate cancer, compared with one in eight of the general male population. As one of three black managers in the top four divisions, Powell wanted to use his position to help to educate men about the dangers.
"It is a remarkable statistic and it goes to show why we are raising awareness for black men," Powell said. "There are certain medical issues that just affect black men and if I can help someone — just one person — to go and get himself checked because he didn't know about it before, then I will be doing my job .
"I recognise how the football club is the focal point of people's lives. They listen to the players, they listen to the manager and I need to represent them. People do take notice of what the manager says and what he writes about.
"It is about time we started talking about it and men getting checked, because it is serious. You may feel uncomfortable about doing the test or talking about it, but you will feel more comfortable knowing you have caught it early or knowing that you are clear.
"We need to raise more awareness of prostate cancer. It has been clever to raise it in football and this is a great idea by The Times and by the Football League."
Although men tend not to be checked for prostate cancer until they are in their fifties, Powell believes it is important to educate the teenagers he works with at Charlton and all those in the wider community of all ages.
"I have a duty of care for all my players in the squad and the youth-team squad. It doesn't matter what colour they are, but if we are talking about young black men, then they need to know," Powell said.
"It may be them telling a member of their family who hadn't been in a position to get information about it. You don't want to frighten them but you want to make them aware. As they become older and more responsible, then at least they know about it.
"When I was their age — 17, 18 — I would not have had a clue about most cancers. It is something we have to take really seriously, because we are losing a lot of people who could have been caught earlier."
Nobby Stiles, the England World Cup winner, and Ray Clemence, the former England goalkeeper, have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. It makes no allowance for a man's fitness or health .
"You have someone like Clemence who has suffered and it is proof that no matter who you are, it can affect you," Powell said. "I know of one or two people who have had family members pass away from prostate cancer.
"I know Ray's son, Stephen, and it is a case of 'can we keep this message alive now?' Not just back it for a season. It should be an ongoing campaign."
Clemence, the former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2005 and was successfully treated. Although the cancer returned last year, Clemence is now in remission and a keen supporter of the Football League's partnership with Prostate Cancer UK.
"Men don't like to think that anything is wrong with them, especially sportsmen, and if you have a slight problem 'down there' it will never be at the forefront of your mind that it could be cancer," Clemence said.

Even as Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch swept the top two positions in consecutive weeks and seemingly turned NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup into the Joe Gibbs Racing Invitational, Jimmie Johnson remained unfazed.
The only man to win five consecutive Cup titles (2006-10) continually reiterated how pleased he was with how he began this year's Chase. And why shouldn't he be?
His playoffs commenced with a come-from-behind fifth at Chicagoland Speedway, followed by a workmanlike fourth-place effort the next week at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The consecutive top-fives placed Johnson third in points, just 18 back of leader Kenseth heading into this past weekend.
However, Johnson's more than solid start to the Chase was overshadowed by the dominance Kenseth exhibited, notching max-earning points victories at both Chicagoland and New Hampshire. This was compounded by Busch finishing a close second in each race, giving the appearance that JGR was destined to secure its fourth series championship.
Johnson, though, was undeterred.
A Chase veteran -- he's the only driver to qualify for all 10 editions -- Johnson carries with him an impervious attitude. It's the mindset of a driver who has seen others go back-to-back (Greg Biffle, 2008) to open the Chase before but not be able to maintain that success throughout. His unwavering belief is that the No. 48 team is unquestionably the best in the garage no matter if the box score or point standings indicate otherwise.
Aiding Johnson's confidence is how the schedule fell.
Dover International Speedway -- one of his better tracks where he had won seven times -- represented his chance to make a statement and stake his claim why he should be considered a favorite to win the championship.
On Friday when meeting with reporters, he was jovial, openly discussing how excited he was for the weekend at hand. And at no point did he back away from talk that he was the man to beat Sunday.
And as expected, Johnson lived up to the advanced billing. He led 243 of 400 laps and despite having older tires was able to fend off teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. to secure his fifth win of the year. In doing so, he cut into Kenseth's points lead, which now sits at eight with seven Chase races still to go.
"You've got to win when you're at your best track," Johnson said. "That being said, we had to win here today. I think any points on the 18 (Busch) or the 20 (Kenseth) would have been a very good day. Max points, it's an awesome day."
The victory broke a record Johnson shared with Richard Petty and Bobby Allison for most all-time wins at Dover, and led to his crew chief calling him the "most underrated champion" in the sport. Whether a driver who's won 65 races and five Cup championships in his career can be "underrated" is debatable.
But what's not up for debate is that Johnson is more than a supporting player in this year's Chase -- he's a central figure.
"It's really cool," Johnson said of his record-breaking triumph. "I'm not sure I've ever done what Richard Petty hasn't. To get this eighth win here is very, very special. Truthfully, it was the first thought that went through my mind when I crossed the finish line."
Then, it was quickly back to what mattered the most.
"It wasn't long after I thought of the impact of winning in the Chase, wondering where the 20 was."

"Baltimore has overbuilt in the middle-of-the-road to mediocre" range, he said. "People want something different, not more of the same."
Garrett added that he doesn't believe the state of the surrounding area will hinder efforts to draw patrons. He said local residents may know that a jail is nearby, but most visitors won't.
"The guests don't know what they're looking at, and they don't stare out the window all the time," he said. "They'll be in a world of their own. Our objective is to make it so attractive they won't want to go anywhere else."
Plans by Ziger/Snead LLP call for a multi-level addition containing a new entrance facing Biddle Street. A garage for valet parking will be built on land that Eddie Brown owns on Guilford Avenue, and the restaurant and bar will be open both to hotel guests and the general public, Azola said.
Petrik, the lodging analyst, said boutique hotels in New York and San Francisco generally succeed "when they are in areas where people want to be, where there is night life and entertainment." In Baltimore, he said, much of that activity "has gravitated to Harbor East."
At the same time, he said, "developers make money by taking risks that the more prudent man would not take. They are the eternal optimists."
Garrett said he thinks The Ivy will be a catalyst for other improvements to the surrounding area.
"Hotels like this bring a vitality to the community," he said. "You'll begin to see other things happening nearby."

unicode possibilities

The UFC has been busy adding fights to a variety of different cards over the past few days, so it's time for a little rundown of what's going on. UFC on Fox 10 and UFC Fight Night 33 have one new fight, UFC Fight Night 34 in Singapore has two, and UFC Fight Night 36 in Brazil has two new ones as well. So here they are.
UFC on Fox 10
Adam Khaliev (6-0) meets Pascal Krauss (11-2) in a welterweight matchup. Khaliev, a Russian import that has mostly fought at middleweight, is probably best known for a crazy "tornado kick" KO back in 2011. Krauss is 2-2 in the UFC, dropping his last bout to Hyun Gyu Lim in August.
UFC Fight Night 33
Welterweight Andreas Stahl injured, TUF Smashes' @BenWallMMA returns vs. @AlexGarciaMMA at #UFCFightNight Brisbane
— UFC News (@UFCNews) November 26, 2013
Both Ben Wall (7-0) and Alex Garcia (10-1) are making their UFC debuts. As mentioned, Wall was a contestant on TUF Smashes, while Garcia is a product of Tri-Star Gym in Montreal and is on a four-fight winning streak.
UFC Fight Night 34
#UFCSingapore continued: Dustin Kimura vs. Jon Delos Reyes at 135lbs, Max Holloway vs Will Chope at 145
— UFC News (@UFCNews) November 27, 2013
The Holloway/Chope fight was already mentioned in a prior post. Kimura (10-1) is 1-1 in the UFC thus far, and dropped his last fight to Mitch Gagnon by submission at UFC 165. Delos Reyes (7-2) is a PXC vet that has won four in a row and finished all seven of his wins thus far.
In addition to that, a lightweight bout between Mairbek Taisumov (19-4) and Tae Hyun Bang (16-7) will take place on the card. Taisumov fights out of Austria and has won seven of his last eight. He was scheduled to fight for M-1 this weekend, but I'm not sure if that's still happening or not. Bang is a member of Korean Top Team and a veteran of Sengoku and DEEP.
UFC Fight Night 36
#UFCFightNight Feb 15 in Brazil adds @ViscardiAndrade vs @NicoMusoke and TUF Live castmates @CristianoBJJ Marcello vs @JoeProctor
— UFC News (@UFCNews) November 26, 2013
Viscardi Andrade (17-5) picked up a quick TKO win over Bristol Marunde in his UFC debut at UFC 163. He has won seven in a row overall. Nicholas Musoke (11-2) also picked up a win in his UFC debut, submitting Alessio Sakara in a middleweight bout at UFC Fight Night 30. This bout will take place at welterweight.
Finally, Cristiano Marcello (13-5) meets Joe Proctor (8-2) in a battle of TUF 15 contestants. Marcello is 1-2 in the UFC thus far, most recently dropping a decision to Kazuki Tokudome in March. Proctor is 1-1 in the UFC and lost a decision to Ramsey Nijem in his most recent fight in December 2012.

- 2 quarts canola oil or Crisco
- 3 1/2 pounds chicken wings, cut into three pieces, wing tips reserved for stock
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup Frank's RedHot Sauce
- 2 1/2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- <u>Blue Cheese Dressing</u>
- Celery sticks
- Heat 4 inches of oil in a deep fryer or medium stockpot over high heat until a deep fryer thermometer registers 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. Add half of the wing pieces to hot oil, and fry until dark golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes. Transfer to prepared baking sheets to drain.
- While wings are cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add hot sauce, Tabasco, and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until hot. Lower heat, and keep warm until ready to use.
- When the first batch of wings is finished cooking, transfer to an airtight container. Add half the sauce, and cover tightly. Shake container to fully coat wings. Repeat with remaining wings and sauce. Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.

As I have written several times before, I am very concerned about the idea of a "surge" along the Texas-Mexico border. My main reason is this: It is a bad idea to have a paramilitary operation that includes a large number of private citizens. That is what is going to happen if there is a surge. There is going to be a horde of armed folks showing up with guns to play soldier. I can't think of a more dangerous situation. The border is a dangerous place to begin with. A surge only makes it worse.
Rick Perry should return to Texas and address this problem. A letter signed by state leaders in support of a surge is not a fix. An armed vigilante force is not a fix. A letter from the tea party is not a fix. I'm not sure that there is a fix, but this plan isn't it. There is no doubt that the situation on the border is serious. It is both a humanitarian and a demographic crisis. But it can't be fixed by politicians playing politics during an election season in an attempt to throw red meat to the base. That's not leadership--and the situation will suffer because of it.

Residents want more protection for stadium
6:30am Monday 7th April 2014 in News
RESIDENTS have urged councillors to give extra protection to under-threat Oxford Stadium at a crunch meeting on Wednesday.
Oxford City Council's executive board will be asked to designate the closed Sandy Lane stadium a conservation area.
It has refused plans to flatten the site for 220 homes but developer Galliard Homes has lodged an appeal, to be heard this summer.
Of the 33 who responded to a consultation on the proposal, 31 gave support.
The stadium closed in December 2012 after owner Greyhound Racing Association said it was no longer viable. Last July it was added to the Oxford Heritage Asset register, giving it further protection in planning proposals.
Oxford Stadium Tenants' Group told the council: "The site has special historic interest as evidenced by its designation as a local heritage asset.
"Historically it has been used for greyhound and speedway racing and served as a sporting venue drawing national and international teams and supporters.
"It also has architectural interest. The decline in the number of historic stadia makes it a rare example nationally of a racing facility."
Montagu Evans for Galliard Homes and stadium owner GRA Acquisition Limited objected. He said: "The stadium in our expert opinion, lacks any positive visual qualities desirable to preserve and enhance."
Campaign group Greyt Exploitations, who campaigns against greyhound racing, also objected, saying racing is not a sport.

Naturalizer asked: Why did you choose this?
- marcia: "Beautiful high quality leather"
Amanda asked: I need wide calf boots. What is the calf size? I have large feet (10) and wide calves & ankles and need something that fits both.
- Misia: "I was able to find these exact boots in a wider shaft. Very comfortable. Good luck. They did not list them on this site. you'll have to search for them else-where."
- Nancy: "Hi Amanda, If you look up top to the right you will see "boot measurements". Il wear a 9.5 so your measurement would be different from mine. Go there and find the exact measurement for your size. Mine fit fine but that doesn't mean anything for you. Hope this helped. They are really great boots.I hope they work for you."
- Sandra: "Loved the look of the boot, but returned them as they were extremely difficult to get on and off with the partial zipper. Would have worked with a full zipper."
- Debi: "Amana i wish i could answer your question. i have tried to order these boots a couple time and they run out of stock quickly. I wish you luck, i LOVE them in the picture. Look very classy."
- Tammy: "This is NOT a wide calf boot. I had to return them. Couldn't even get my foot in them. I bought some Ross hammerson boots from footsmart instead and they fit wonderful and are super comfortable! Good luck! "
- laura: "I have about a 15" calf at the widest point. I purchased these boots in a size 10W and I am able to wear them with a skinny jean tucked in. The are really cute. The heel is a bit higher than I am used to wearing, but the boots were fairly comfortable for several hours the first time I wore them."
- Jennifer: "I'm not sure I can give you a great answer as I don't have the same issue. However, I do love these boots and just ordered black ones before the sale ended. I would say these are not overly roomy in the calf or ankle, but would imagine that the calf and ankle would be proportionate to the shoe size. They feel great on me and I wear an 8. If you need a real wide shaft, the Etton wide shaft boots are extremely roomy... a bit too much for me, but the foot of the boot is comfortable so I still wear them. Good Luck!"
- Dona: "I have a 41 cm calf and this boot was no where near big enough. I could not get them pulled up past my lower calf. There is no zipper at the top, but the ankle was plenty big eoungh."
- Carol: "I don't know the measurement but I know they are not wide calf. I have "normal" size calves and they fit snug."
- Lisa: "I do believe the are 151/2. They are snug around the calf. They are a little more snug than most boots I have bought. I have muscular calfs so it is hard to find boots that fit right so I understand. They are fabulous boots though!!! I say try them and return them if not. They are great looking:-)"
- Emily (staff): "Hello, For a complete list of shaft height and circumference measurements for each size, please click the "Boot Measurement" icon located above the "Add to Cart" button. Thank you, Naturalizer.com"
Andrea asked: According to the boot sizing chart, I am needing these in a wide calf (shaft). How do I order them?
- Emily (staff): "Hello Andrea, Unfortunately we're out of stock of the Ora in the Wide Calf version. If possible, I suggest trying them on at your local Naturalizer store to see if the regular shaft might work. I hope this helps, Emily"
Huong asked: Where is the height measure from? Is is from the arch of the foot? What is the height for size 4. I am only 4'11", and I don't want a boot over my knee. Thank you,
- Emily (staff): "Hello, I'm 5'2 and the boot does not come over my knee. They are extremely comfortable and look great with Jeans. I hope this helps, Emily"
- CAROL: "Hello Huong N, I did purchase the Naturalizer Ora boot, and I do like them very much. Though because of your height you may have a problem. I am 5' 3", and I do have long legs for my size, and these boots are right up to my knees. The Ora may very well go over your knee, and since they are not split in the back they may pose a comfort problem when you sit with bended knee. That being, they are very lovely boots. I hope this clears up your concern. Carol S."
- Karen: "I bought these for my daughter who is 5'3". They hit her below the knee, and we both love them! They are 16 1/4" from the back of the heel on the floor to the top of the boot. Hope this helps."
- Glenda: "I don't know the height of the boots; however I am 5 foot tall and the boot falls below my knee."
- Susan: "I'm 5'8 and wear a size 11. The boot comes about 2" from my knee. Little hard to get on because the zipper is in the middle of the boot and not the top. I do really like the boots and would order them again. Hope this helps! "
- Ida: "I'm 5' 2" and the boot hits me about 1 1/2" under my knee. Great boot and very comfortable."
Susie asked: Are these wide shaft or wide width?
- Emily (staff): "Hi Susie, This boot is offered in a medium or wide width, not a wide shaft. Thank you, Emily"
Wadiyah asked: do these boots come in a size 12?
- Emily (staff): "Hello, The sizes shown in the "Select available size and width" drop-down menu are the sizes currently available to order. If a particular size or color is not shown, it is either sold out or not offered. We update our website several times every day and sometimes items sell out fast. However, we cannot offer back orders.

Question & Answers
Random events!
Can someone tell me some of the random events and if I should let certain people in my house, I heard a rumor that 2 men in tuxedos will steal all your money, furniture and kids if you let them in your house, is that true??? And what should I do on the one with the boys with messy hair asking if I want a kitten??
Answer from: Peace
I don't know about the messy hair boys, but usually when two guys in tuxedo's come they usually give you a clock. At least that's what happened to me.
Answer from: Awesome Sauce!!
The messy hair boy will give you a kitten
Answer from: Noname
The two men in tuxedos give you a clock. I'm pretty experienced and have had that events happen so any times I have a clock in every room and have sold at least 30. If you want a kitten, then you accept from the messy haired kid. Some other events I thought were kind of interesting, were: · A girl asks you if you want to buy a magazine, but she doesn't tell you what kind. Accept, because it's actually a career magazine that costs way more if you get it from the flea market. · Kids want to do a cooking class. Accept, because they'll leave a meal on the table. · You hear a scratching sound on your door. Open the door because you will get a yellow Labrador. · High schoolers want to party in your house. If you accept, they'll make a really big mess in your house. That's not a problem if you have a maid, but I suggest saying no.
Answer from: WildQuaffle
And the clown will give a black kitten. big box is painting. box with note is money. white box is ants. invite sleepover reject, it will make the kid who go to the sleepover party dead.
Answer from: Chocolate cake
Once someone knocked on my door and gave me a golden retriever
Answer from: Aj1
What does it mean when it says special training is needed to collect this?
Answer from: Puppylover
There is a random event with a green bag at your front door you should open it and there will be free oranics dairy in it!
Answer from: Anonymous
There also is a clown and asks to come in I think if u say yes be will give u a kitten
Answer from: Vfam2girl
Ok here is one..This is exactly what it says: your character (character name here) was reading a horror book ad then she/he hears a strange scratching noise she/he figures out it's coming from the door. I don't know what happens when you keep the door closed. But if you open it you get a yellow lab. It's kinda sad though.You find it wet, cold, sad, and dirty.I couldn't just leave it there. So I adopted it. P.S don't take the clock from that guy the police will come and say you stole it and you will have to pay a fine of 100 coins
Answer from: Hellosally
The to men in black will give you a clock

Lovely room. Good breakfast
Rooms at the front are very noisy from the road outside
We had room nr. 5 which was fresh and clean and decorated with style, very quiet at the backside with view on the garden and a very comfortable clean bed (bedsheets smelled fresh). Furniture with an ancient character was very charming. The hostess Lisa even helped carrying our luggage when going up to our room. Each morning a nice good quality breakfast was served and the hostess regularly came to our table to ask if we still needed anything else. The evening before we checked out, the hostess Lisa even left a box of chocolates in the room as a treat for our return journey which was a very nice gesture.
Breakfast time was rather early :between 07:30 and 08:30
An easy walk into the town centre. A warm welcome from the host. A good breakfast. Off street parking.
Friendly host, reasonable sized room, good breakfast
Very poor wifi service - too slow to download emails and use the internet; beds creaked; busy road with a lot of traffic noise
Clean room, comfortable bed, excellent shower, great breakfast. All you need from a B&B.
Lovely bright room, welcoming host, great location and yummy breakfast!
Breakfast was only served for an hour 7:30-8:30am and wifi was a little slow.
Very good overall and very welcoming. The breakfasts were outstanding
Lisa was the perfect host and nothing was too much trouble. Great breakfasts and as much as you could possibly eat. Fantastic location as a short walk in to Canterbury.
Ann's House was comfortable and clean, it is within walking distance of the town whilst also being in a relaxing location.
the owner was extremely hospitable and apologetic about greeting, good breakfast, nice room and en suite, parking available
greeting from cleaner, too many teddy bears, large one scary and scruffy in lounge. mattress too thin.
stylish and very clean rooms, very kind and friendly owner, delicious breakfast
The friendliness of the owner. She couldn't do enough to help. Nothing was too much trouble.
It was all very nice, a lovely room and nice view of the garden, great breakfast and very attractive breakfast room and Lisa very friendly and helpful

The Denver Nuggets extended their home-winning streak to 18 on Friday night against the visiting Brooklyn Nets. The Nuggets showed their dominance at home and beat the fourth-placed team in the East without team leader Ty Lawson.
Andre Miller got the start for Lawson and rookie Evan Fournier stepped up in his absence as well, scoring a career-high 19 points. The Nuggets outshot the Nets in all areas, despite struggling from beyond the arc once again. They made only four of 14, that's 28.6 percent, but better than 25 percent from the Nets. The open looks were not as readily available without Lawson driving and dishing.
Lawson is day-to-day with a plantar fascia tear in his right heel. This is the same injury Pau Gasol suffered causing him to miss six weeks. It remains to be seen if Lawson's injury will be as severe.
The Nuggets' next game isn't until Wednesday when they travel to play the Utah Jazz and attempt to end a two-game losing skid away from the Pepsi Center. Is four days off in a row what the team needs right now? It's definitely good to have Lawson get as much time off as possible before the postseason starts, but is it good for the rest of the team?
We are talking about professional athletes, but even professionals can lose a step if they are away from the grind for too long. Too much time off from playing in an actual game might give the team too much time to think, leading to over-thinking on the court. The Nuggets play best when moving fast, causing turnovers and finishing fast breaks with a high-percentage shots. The best way to keep up the pace is not in practice, but in an actual game.
The Nuggets have some tough games down the homestretch, playing against some teams that are still fighting for a playoff spot and others that are already in. The last eight games of the regular season might quiet some doubters as to how cohesive and dangerous the Nuggets are leading into the postseason.
The Jazz are in the hunt for the postseason and beating them in their home building will be a strong test for the Nuggets with or without Lawson.
They also have to play the Dallas Mavericks, home and away, and Dirk Nowitzki seems to be playing for not only the playoffs, but for his future career.
Coach George Karl has been doing his thing for a while in the NBA, and it'll be interesting to see how the team comes out in the first few minutes in Utah on Wednesday. Whatever the outcome, a blessing or a disaster, the four days off will be what everybody looks back to as the reason why.
Even without Lawson, the team has shown they can take control of a game with help from reserves, subs and starters. They've still got Danilo Gallinari, Andre Iguodala, JaVale McGee, Corey Brewer, Kosta Koufos and Kenneth 'the Manimal' Faried.
A main issue that remains with Lawson's absence is the presence of a player that can sink the last shot to tie or win a game. Everybody has had a go at it, but Lawson remains the one with the most confidence and ability to make the shot.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Nuggets are a different team without Lawson. They currently sit in third place in the West, but let's see if they can hold it down. With or without Lawson, they can at least win at home without him so home-court advantage is more important now than ever.

How and when Exercising Financial Supervision Can Enhance Central Bank's Independence
AbstractAccording to the current literature concentrating monetary policy and supervisory policy functions in the central bank weakens the anti-inflationary credibility of this institution. In this paper we show that, if central banks behave as political players, exercising banking supervision can allow these institutions to gain the support of commercial banks and therefore to enhance their independence from political pressures and their credibility. However, the use of central banks' supervisory powers to strengthen the banking industry's support, may lead to an inefficient regulation of the banking sector. Therefore there may be a trade-off between giving central banks' supervisory authority and banking efficient regulation.

U.S. stocks notched slight gains Tuesday, with investors taking the opportunity to buy back into the market a day after it suffered its biggest losses in more than seven months.
KEEPING SCORE: The Dow Jones industrial average was up 36 points, or 0.2 percent, to 15,409 at 10:57 a.m. Eastern time. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose seven points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,749. The Nasdaq composite gained 20 points, or 0.5 percent, to 4,017.
TENTATIVE REBOUND?: Markets were coming off a drop of more than 320 points for the Dow and the blue-chip index's worst January performance in five years following disappointing news about U.S. manufacturing.
"After this whole year of being down over 5 percent, I think the markets are trying to rally," said David Chalupnik, head of equities for Nuveen Asset Management. "I don't know if it holds through the day."
MACRO MESS: Financial markets in developing countries like Turkey and Argentina have been shaken in recent weeks by concerns that growth will slow and money will flow out of their economies as the U.S. Federal Reserve tightens its monetary policy. That has knocked down many stock markets, which were ripe for a pullback after big gains in 2013.
OVERSEAS: The Nikkei tumbled 4.2 percent to 14,008.47 and is down 14 percent over the past month. Hong Kong's Hang Seng declined 2.9 percent to 21,397.77 on its first day of trading following a 4-day weekend for the Lunar New Year. Markets in China and Taiwan remain closed. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares eased 0.1 percent at 6,456 while Germany's DAX fell 0.7 percent to 9,120. The CAC-40 in France rose 0.1 percent to 4,113.
KORS ON TOP: Michael Kors is surging $14.34, or 19 percent, to $91.02 after the fashion retailer reported third-quarter net income rose 77 percent. The company topped Wall Street expectations.
MICROSOFT MOVES: Microsoft named Satya Nadella as its new CEO. Company founder Bill Gates is stepping down as chairman and will become a technology adviser to Microsoft. Shares rose 8 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $36.56.
TREASURIES: The yield on the 10-year Treasury note climbed to 2.63 percent from 2.58 percent on Monday. The yield has dropped from 3 percent at the start of the year as investors have bought bonds amid concern that U.S. growth is slowing after a strong fourth quarter.
HOME SALES BOOST: U.S. homebuilders were trading higher on a report by real estate data firm CoreLogic that showed U.S. home prices climbed 11 percent in December from a year earlier.

77 Players to Take Part in

DALLAS CLARK of the Indianapolis Colts and DEION BRANCH of the Seattle Seahawks are among the 77 players who have enrolled in the NFL Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program at Harvard Business School and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
The program is part of an ongoing NFL-NFLPA initiative to assist players in preparing for their post-playing careers. 502 players have participated in the program since its inception in 2005.
"The program offered by the Harvard Business School is a great opportunity to begin preparing for life after football, and I have heard nothing but positive things from players that have participated," said Dallas Clark. "It's a way to take advantage of one of the many programs the NFL and NFLPA offer, and I think to be able to receive business and leadership advice from some of the top instructors in their field will be invaluable."
The schools will offer executive education activities in their respective areas of expertise (see complete descriptions below). Harvard Business School will hold a program for players from February 15-19. The Wharton School's session runs from February 16-19.
Players complete an application process in order to attend the NFL Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program. Enrollment criteria includes level of education; professional business experience; interest in starting, owning, or managing a business; and leadership and community involvement.

---- — The Easter Bunny reminds me mostly of a certain brand of battery, of a Monty Python movie and of chocolate, in that order. I can explain all of that, I really can. But I ran into trouble trying to explain a simple Easter egg hunt the other day.
I work with a Cuban woman who's learning English as her second language. Back home, nothing is celebrated this time of year besides Holy Week.
She had no idea what an Easter egg hunt was.
My student has a daughter getting ready for kindergarten this year. It's important that she understand egg hunts. So I tried explaining an Easter egg hunt to her this week.
It went something like this:
Somebody has to organize it. They buy a lot of candy or little goodies and fill brightly colored plastic eggs with that. Why? I don't know. I'm not sure anybody does. It's just one of those things that we do, like reversing the I and the E when spelling "neighbor."
Then more organizing people hide the eggs. And by hiding, I mean dropping them in plain sight onto the grass. It's called hiding because… Because, that's why.
On the day of the Easter egg hunt, parents bring their children and give them little baskets to carry, or sometimes plastic shopping bags. Then, someone gives a signal and all the children go running as fast as their little legs can carry them to pick up as many eggs as possible. They get to keep the candy inside.
I don't know why baskets are traditionally used or why they usually come in pastel colors. It just wouldn't be Easter without them.
Somewhere along the line, someone dressed up as a rabbit wearing a pink bow (or carrying a basket) usually shows up to have pictures taken with children. You can't explain that.
You're seeing the theme here, right?
Don't get me wrong. Easter holds many fond memories for me, including finding Sacagawea dollar coins in the plastic eggs my grandmother gave us grandkids.
But the next time I meet someone who wants to know why there's a rabbit associated with this holiday, it's your turn to explain it.

Cat Tracks: Denker's big night leads to seventh straight non-conference win for UA
Originally published: Sep 14, 2013 - 11:41 pm
The margin of victory was not all that surprising, however, who shined in the blowout was noteworthy to say the least.
Coming into Saturday night's contest, quarterback B.J. Denker was 17-of-34 for 168 yards and a touchdown on the season. Against the Roadrunners, the UA senior nearly duplicated those totals. Denker threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to freshman wideout Samajie Grant and ran for another 35-yard score in the first quarter, and from there the rout was on.
On the night, Denker was 14-of-21 for 158 yards to go along with three total touchdowns.
The Good:
Ka'Deem Carey rushed for over 100 yards and had two touchdowns in the 25-point victory. Carey now has 22 rushing touchdowns in his last 11 games.
In all, the Wildcats rushed for 264 yards.
Grant's touchdown catch in the first quarter was the first of his collegiate career.
Three of Drew Riggleman's four punts were downed inside the UTSA 20-yard line.
The Bad:
Despite Denker's big game and a dominate night on the ground, UTSA nearly outgained UA (422 yards to 379 yards).
UTSA's David Glasco II only ran the ball 10 times, but he had 70 yards rushing and a touchdown.
With the win, Arizona moved to 7-0 in non-conference play under Rich Rodriguez.
Coming Up Next:
The Wildcats (3-0) will have a week off before going up to Seattle to open up Pac-12 play against the Washington Huskies (2-0) on Sept. 28. Last season, UA took down Steve Sarkisian's squad 52-17. Game time has yet to be determined.

The education-drug use connection: How successes and failures in school relate to adolescent smoking, drinking, drug use, and delinquency. New York.: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates/Taylor & Francis.
The book uses data from the University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future project. It focuses on a large and nationally representative sample of 8th grade students in the United States who were initially surveyed in 1991-1993 and then followed over the vitally important developmental period between ages 14 and 22. The volume uses a variety of statistical analysis techniques, and the findings can be understood by individuals with limited, as well as with extensive, backgrounds in research design. The findings convincingly demonstrate that if young people can be successful in school, it can improve a broad range of outcomes in their lives, not the least of which is their ability to resist pressures to use drugs. The book provides: a summary of the findings and conclusions; a review of relevant literature; a detailed discussion of the survey and analysis methods; the academic attainment of those in the longitudinal panel; the delinquent behaviors of panel members as they relate to measures of educational success; and the patterns of initiation, continuation, and cessation for each substance: cigarettes, marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol.
Country of focus: United States.

Abhorrent Radio
Brazil's death/thrash metal band Abhorrent was formed in the capital city of Brasilia in 1988 -- around the same time Sepultura was putting the South American country's fast-growing metal scene on the international radar. But it was only in 1996 that their first album, simply entitled Rage, was finally released, and by then, singer Robson Aldeoli was the lone remaining founding member. In 1999, Abhorrent contributed a cover of "She Wolf" to the A Tribute to Megadeth album, but it would be two more years before another new line-up, including Marcus Vireoli (guitar), Hudson Andre (guitar), Leandro Soares (bass), and Carlos Fibrian (drums) was assembled for the recording of 2001's Caution!

After the teams traded goals early, Eden Prairie struck twice in the third providing the winning margin over Andover in the opening round of the Class AA State Girls Hockey Tournament.
Charly Dahlquist's goal 1:40 into the third was her second of the game and the eventual game-winner for the Eagles with Kate Rydland scoring late for some indurance.
Scoreless through one, Andover's Sierra Langlie opened the scoring. Abbie Turpin added the Huskies second goal later in the period.
Eden Prairie responded to both Andover tallies, getting second period goals from Crystalyn Hengler and Dahlquist.
Whitney Padget stopped 15 Andover shots to earn the win for Eden Prairie.
The Eagles advance to the Class AA Semifinal on Friday night. They'll face Hill-Murray.

December 28, 2007, 9:49 AM — With more than 2,000 consumer electronics companies fighting for the attention of 140,000 attendees at International CES, the competition to get noticed is fierce. Companies will parade their newest and hottest products and promise starry-eyed consumers and journalists imminent release dates for their gadgets, while the more daring keynote speakers give their predictions for the year ahead. Sometimes they're spot-on -- but other times they're way off the mark, as this look back at the class of 2007 shows.
The show kicked off in a big way with the unveiling by Sharp of its monster 108-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) TV. The set represented the biggest flat-panel TV developed -- a title it still holds today -- and came without a price but with the promise of availability during 2007. But wealthy consumers are still waiting. Sharp said recently that it is still working on plans for a commercial launch for the TV set.
There was a lot of noise at the show about both Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD. The battling high-definition video disc camps both claimed an advantage over the other and asserted that 2007 would be break-out year when their respective format left the rival in the dust. A year on and not much has changed. Consumer indifference and confusion over the formats has led many to stay away, while prices have collapsed leaving some wondering if any of the participants will ever be able to make money on either technology.
One man who called the status quo was H.G. Lee, president of LG Electronics. Speaking at a news conference where he unveiled a dual-format machine from LG he predicted that both formats would be around for a good while longer and observed, "The growth of this exciting new technology and industry is slower than it could be." So top marks to Lee, but that's perhaps not much consolation. While he was right about the immediate future of both formats, his company's relatively expensive dual-format player wasn't the hit he hoped.
LG wasn't the only company trying to solve the format battle. Warner Bros. introduced its Total Hi Def disc that has a Blu-ray Disc layer on one side and an HD DVD layer on the other. The disc generated a lot of excitement because it would insulate consumers from the risks of backing the wrong format -- so it was a disappointment when Warner threw in the towel on the format before the year was out.
CES often serves as a launch pad for new technologies. The results were mixed for two of those shown at CES 2007.
