The Proper Pour with Charlotte Voisey
The Proper Pour with Charlotte Voisey takes you on a journey from basics of bartending to advanced mixology.
Tiki Time Cocktail
13 Jun 12 3
Thinking of tiki cocktails conjures up visions of rum, tropical fruits and exotic ingredients. There is no doubt that rum plays a leading role in the tiki cocktails of yesterday and today. That being said, many great tiki cocktails use gin as a base. Charlotte adds her Tiki Time cocktail to that list.
Improved Tequila Cocktail
24 Jul 12 8
"Improving" a cocktail does not necessarily mean making it better. The term simply means something was added to the traditional combination of spirit, sugar, water, bitters associated with an old fashioned style cocktail. In this case, Charlotte "improves" this tequila old fashioned by adding Maraschino and two types of bitters.
ROOT Julep
29 May 12 4
Juleps are the perfect drink to beat the heat. Crushed ice helps give a deep chill and slow dilution over many sips on a hot afternoon. A julep can really be made with any spirit. In this variation, Charlotte uses ROOT, a spirit distilled from organic, indigenous American ingredients, as the base for her julep.
Farmer's Daughter Cocktail
7 Nov 12 4
Perfect any time of year, the Farmer's Daughter plays off the indigenous American flavors of Lebkuchen, or German ginger snap, inherent in SNAP. Serve this drink cold in summer and ht in the winter. You can mix up one or two or an entire bowl for a big party.
Blood and Sanguinello Cocktail
8 May 12 0
The addition of blood orange liqueur, Lillet Rouge and single malt scotch make this twist on the classic Blood and Sand a real treat.
Lemon Grass Drop Cocktail
11 Jul 12 0
The tropical flavors of lemon grass and pineapple make this twist on the Lemon Drop a special treat for the summer. A lemon grass infused simple syrup, Stoli Citros Vodka and the very floral St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur deliver further depth of flavor and help make this a solid step up beyond your first lemon drop.
Violet Fizz Cocktail
10 Apr 13 12
The fizz is a classification of mixed drink that is a variation on the Sour family of cocktails. The addition of carbonated water (soda) adds the "fizz". First mentioned in the 1887 edition of Jerry Thomas' Bartender's Guide, the fizz has many variations, most having to do with additional ingredients such as egg white, egg yolk or whole egg. For example, the Ramos Gin Fizz, one of the most famous variations, includes not only egg white but cream, sugar, orange flower water and both lemon and lime juices. Charlotte fell in love with the Violet Fizz at the venerable Varnish in Los Angeles. This beautiful cocktail epitomizes all that is wonderful about the Fizz and its numerous variations and is perfect for Spring brunch.
Drambuie Flip Cocktail
16 Dec 14 0
The Flip is an egg based cocktail that is similar to Egg Nog and perfect for the holidays. You can use any based spirit in a flip but it comes together especially well using a rich brown spirit or something full of spice and a bit of sweetness like Drambuie.
Hot Chocolate with Ancho Reyes Chili Liqueur
9 Dec 14 0
A hot chocolate can be the perfect foil for cold weather. Why not spice your favorite hot chocolate recipe up a bit with a chili liqueur like Ancho Reyes? This special combination will definitely keep the cold at bay.
Remember the Maine Cocktail
21 Aug 13 6
Originally found in Charles H. Baker's "The Gentleman's Companion: Being an Exotic Drinking Book or Around the World with Jigger, Beaker and Flask", the Remember the Maine is the perfect cocktail to showcase an aged single malt like the Glenfiddich 18 year old. Similar to a Sazerac in its use of Absinthe, that is where the similarities end. Either way, it is an elegant cocktail that derives it's name from the USS Maine that sunk in Havana Harbour in 1898.
Scottish Pear Cocktail
7 Aug 13 2
Beginning in August, pears come in to season. The Scottish Pear Cocktail, one of Charlotte's favorite creations, is the perfect cocktail to celebrate the appearance of such a diverse and delectable fruit. Of note is Charlotte's use of two base spirits in this cocktail which builds a unique and robust platform for the remaining ingredients and enables each spirit to shine through while complimenting the other.
Pineapple Arugula Smash Cocktail
24 Jul 13 1
Adding herbs to cocktails is nothing new. Herbs enhance and augment flavors inherent in many base spirits. They are especially apt ingredients in cocktails using gin and tequila. The Pineapple Arugula Smash Cocktail uses the peppery and vegetal arugula as a main ingredient as it plays extremely well with similar flavors Charlotte finds in the Milagro Select Barrel Silver Tequila.
Barney Shrubble Cocktail
3 Jul 13 4
A shrub is an old concoction that was originally intended to preserve fruit, or at least their flavor, using sugar, water and vinegar. Increasingly, it became common to add a dash of your shrub, be it strawberry, blueberry, rhubarb or what have you, to some ice and dilute with water, either flat or carbonated. Recently, it's popularity as a cocktail ingredient has become popular once again. In this episode, Charlotte adds a delicious raspberry shrub with Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur to create the Barney Shrubble cocktail. Yabba Dabba Doo!
Flame of Love Cocktail
19 Jun 13 1
There are a number of twists on the classic Martini cocktail. One of the more elegant and flamboyant of these is the Flame of Love. Invented in Los Angeles by Pepé Ruiz for one of his most frequent clients, Dean Martin, it is a variation worth celebrating. *Remember, great cocktails start with measuring responsibly.*
Navy and Army Cocktail
5 Jun 13 0
Charlotte twists up the classic Army and Navy Cocktail which first appears in print in David Embury's The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Embury described it as a Gin Sour that uses orgeat instead of simple syrup. In this version, Charlotte uses Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, thus the different name.
Montelobos Smoked Tea Sour Cocktail
20 May 13 3
The Smoked Tea Sour is a cocktail built on the earthy and smoky flavors of Mezcal. Lapsang Souchong tea, a smoked black tea from China, infused in a simple syrup, further enhances the natural characteristics of Montelobos Mezcal creating a deeply smoky yet delightfully light and refreshing cocktail.
New York Sour Cocktail
8 May 13 5
This twist on the classic New York Sour brings Glenfiddich Single Malt Whisky from across the pond to take the place of American whiskey. The solera aging process of this 15 year old single malt, lends itself well to a touch of red wine, or in this case, Lillet Rouge, as a bit of a float over the top of the cocktail. Rounded off by layers of citrus, this sour style cocktail is perfect whether you are in New York or Edinburgh.
South Carolina Swizzle Cocktail
24 Apr 13 2
Inspired by the delicious produce of South Carolina and Georgia, Charlotte created the South Carolina Swizzle Cocktail to celebrate one of her favorite regions of the United States. Served in a julep style, this refreshing libation is perfect as a summer sipper.

Terming Malabar a "virgin land" for the urban designer, Regional Town Planner G. Sasikumar has said that at least 20 per cent of the urban spaces should be conserved as green space to act as the city's lungs.
He was speaking at a panel discussion on 'Malabar Rising' organised by The Hindu as part of its Kozhikode edition's first anniversary celebrations on Saturday.
Mr. Sasikumar, who is the chief architect of the city's development master plan, said very little consideration was given to the green spaces within urban limits. He said the natural wetlands within the city were slowly disappearing giving way to high rises and lopsided growth.
"Actual development means carving out quality space within urban limits in order for a society to survive," he said.
Noting that there had been a lapse in planned urban space across the State, he said the process was on to correct the defects. But planning for development, he said, should focus on the aspirations of the people of the region.
"What I mean by quality space is basic environment protection. At least 20 per cent of the urban space should remain green," Mr. Sasikumar said.
He touched on the "green concept" of building. "Green concept means channelising natural ingredients of the region in building. There is zero investment involved in this concept. But it requires a change in attitude of the people. Look what people are doing in their compounds – they cover the ground with interlocking tiles and block natural growth!"
Referring to the constant traffic snarls seen in the city, he said what we lack is traffic management."

Just because it's no longer hot outside doesn't mean you need to relegate your strapless dresses to the closet until next summer rolls around. They're actually a perfect layering piece to bundle up in!
Take this Comfort Couture Dress ($64.99 at Modcloth) for example. It would be so easy to wear it with a simple white tee (to get some extra coverage up top) and then throw a blazer or snuggly sweater over it. And if you want to use a strapless dress for a special occasion, another great option is to pair it with something sheer or lacey like this Iconic Presence Top ($35.99 at Modcloth). The overall effect will look something like this. So pretty, right?
Another upside is that you'll be able to wear both pieces on their own, mixing and matching them however you see fit so you'll be able to get the most bang for your buck -- which of course we love!

Fresh Install of SEPM
Need to verify that a new SEPM can be installed without having any affect on the current SEPM or clients? This new version will be installed a totally seperate server with different and name and IP than current SEPM. Anything to consider when installing a new SEPM that will eventually become the one and only SEPM? I plan on using the syslink drop utility to upgrade clients to the new manager. Also wondering what the pros/cons are to using the embedded db vs a full SQL install. Thanks.

Yes, that will work.
This document also gives a few options:

|Created: 2011-01-20
|Updated: 2011-03-15
|Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH148555
How many clients do you have? If a small number than you can stick with embedded. SQL server requires a dedicated box.
Please click the "Mark as solution" link at bottom left on the post that best answers your question. This will benefit admins looking for a solution to the same problem.
Thanks for the reply. We have approximately 200 clients. I just wanted to make sure that there was no 'auto-discover' option that might conflict with the current SEP client/manager connection. My plan is to install the new SEPM (configured with the same policies), migrate the clients using the syslinkdrop, and then decommission the old SEPM. So there are no benefits to using the stand alone SQL as opposed to the new embedded DB? Thanks again.
For 200 clients, stick with embedded. SQL would come into play if you have say 10,000 clients.
Also, with SEP 12.1.2 there is anew feature which lets you replace the sylink using the SEPM. See here:

SEP 12.1 RU2 and Reset Client Communication
Thanks In Advance
Ashish Sharma
Please check with below link.
Thank& Regards,
"Your satisfaction is very important to us. If you find above information helpful or it has resolved your issue. Please don't forget to mark the thread as solved."
Our current SEPM is running 12.1 RU1. I would like to get 12.1 RU2 installed on the new SEPM. Here are some of my questions/concerns:
1. We have a number of custom policies that I would like to export from the current SEPM to the new SEPM. Does the export/import work across RU1 and RU2 or should I install RU1, import the policies and then upgrade to RU2. Anything else I should consider with exporting/importing settings?
2. When installing the new SEPM I would choose the 'Install First Site' option correct? Even though it's really not the first site.
3. I thought about setting up the replication partner and creating a new SEPM that way but I did read on the Symantec site that once you break the replication you can never use replication again. Since we are decommissioning the old SEPM I would have to break the replication so I don't think that's a good option.
4. To use Reset Client Communication the clients need to be running version 12.x correct? Most of the clients are running 11.x.
5. For virtual clients Symantec states that 'Active Scans' pretty much do the same thing as full scans. Does anyone have anymore documentation on this?
1. The custom policies should import seemlessly.
2. Install as frst site, yes. Are you going to be using DR or a Sylink replacement on the machines to point to the new server?
3. Correct. There are issues when removing the "original server" as a replication partner.
This is a great place to gather all the information you might need to verify the possible scenarios:
4. Not sure what you mean, but this should help:
5. http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH173650&profileURL=https%3A%2F%2Fsymaccount-profile.symantec.com%2FSSO%2Findex.jsp%3FssoID%3D1361980915609fMC599yd1vIrDaKk28pEoGO2QS17497J7xVJX
Some information about scan types:
About the types of scans and real-time protection
Managing scans on client computers
Both Active scans and full scans are types of the scheduled scans.
yes scans are different. Active scan can be run on all machines.
Help Link: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/overview.jsp?pid=54619
Is there any documentation on running 'Active Scans' as opposed to 'Full Scans' on virtual machines. That's a big deal and there is no way that I can implement it without more docuementation from Symantec. The link above states that it's specifically for VDI and as I mentioned our clients are server VM's.
Active scan does not scan all the content. for VMs you need to run full scans.
have you checked the virtual appliance?
this improves the scan
I don't know how helpful that would really be. If it resets the counter everytime new definitions are loaded (which is every 4 hours) then it would be costantly rebuilding the cache and before it could really be used new definitions would be loaded again. The virtual appliance is in addition to the SEP client on the VM correct, not in place of.
its mentioned in this document to run active scan instead of full scan
You would conserve bandwidth by having the SEPM hand out the defs. Also, you can setup GUPs at local sites to conserve even more bandwidth. Only the GUP would get the content from the SEPM than the GUP would provide the content to the clients locally.

Been working diligently for a couple of months on a new CD, and it's time we get back to a little rock and roll. So, the last couple of rehearsals we've been jamming, and tightening up our set list. With the addition of Jeff Little on guitar, we can finally add those crazy double guitar leads and offset rhythms that Franklin just loves to add. He always wanted me to do that funky stuff, but I'm too old and set in my ways, and Jeff is an accomplished musician that doesn't seem to mind laying down the groove. If ya know what I mean!

Oh Well
I'm less inclined to worry these days, and I'm not sure why, but I'm willing to bet it has something to with my age. Now some might even call it maturity, but let's not go that far, okay? I know it's hard to believe, but I used to fret over minuscule details that had no bearing on the final outcome. Hell, even if they did I couldn't change them anyway. But at some point in my life, and I can't say for sure when, I said screw this, I'm not gonna let it bother me anymore. And that my friends, is how I became a Zen master! Okay, maybe not a Zen master, but I'm far more comfortable in my own skin, and that's a step in the right direction. I'm even at peace with watching some random ten year old kid on you tube playing the guitar at a level I will probably never obtain. Who am I kidding….probably……I will never obtain. Oh well, life is good, even if I'm not the worlds greatest guitarists.

No answers, Just theories
I'm at the point in life where I'm not old, but I'm sure as hell not young either. By the time I was twenty years old I was married with a baby on the way, but what should have been a wonderful time of sharing with my family turned into a nightmare when I lost my father to cancer, the family business and homestead all with in a matter of months. It was as if everything in my life that seemed stable had been turned to dust in front of my eyes, and I couldn't do anything to stop it. I'm now forty-five years old staring down the barrel of forty-six, and I have to admit, I still haven't made since of it all, and I never will. The point is we all have loss. So, whatever your going through, believe me your not alone. Life isn't easy, and I'm not sure it's supposed to be. I guess the key to it all is finding something that brings you happiness, because even though this life is sometimes brutal, it is also full of beauty and wonder, and that's the dichotomy isn't it? If I am doing something constructive that brings me joy, and in the process I inspire you to do the same….Well, there's nothing wrong with that is there? There was a time in my life when I thought I knew all the answers, but I realize now it was just an illusion. We have no answers just theories, and my theory is this: Do what makes you happy, and in the process you may bring some joy into someone else's life

Two teenage boys were cited for racing their cars up Sullivan Road Tuesday even though one driver said the 48-year-old witness was "too old" and shouldn't be believed, according to a Spokane Valley Police Department press release.
The witness called police at 12:40 p.m. to report seeing two cars speeding north on Sullivan and that one cut him off and nearly made him crash near the I-90 overpass. The two ran through a stop sign at Wellesley and entered the East Valley High School parking lot, the witness reported.
The school resource officer contacted the two boys. One of the drivers had an instructional permit and the other had an intermediate license that prohibits passengers under the age of 20. Both cars had passengers, police said.
One driver was cited for reckless driving and no valid operator's license. The other was cited for racing and violation of an intermediate license restriction.

Good Monday morning everyone. (Well, it will be after I have a second cup of coffee.) It's time to take a look at Saturday's Valley Voice in case you missed any of our great stories. Reporter Pia Hallenberg interviewed West Valley High School student Joey Bird, who started racing go-karts at the age of eight. He has won six championships and several awards and is moving up to bigger and more powerful race cars.
The Spokane County Library District welcomed a new director this month, Nancy Ledeboer. She said she is pleased at how well maintained the libraries are, the good condition of the district's books and the willingness of staff to take change in stride.
Reporter Lisa Leinberger has a story on a generous $10,000 donation from the Intersection Church to North Pines Middle School. The gift was unexpected and the school is still considering how to put the donation to good use.
Residents on the west end of Spokane Valley will notice that engines from the Spokane Fire Department are responding to 911 calls for help in addition to crews from the Spokane Valley Fire Department. Valley Fire's Station 6 is being torn down and replaced and the crew has moved to Station 1 near University City. The Spokane Fire Department will be responding in certain areas to make sure all emergency calls get a timely response.

The Great Twitter Debate: Should You Follow Back?
Annie Neugebauer on Nov 08 2014 | Filed under: Social Media
Apparently I'm a glutton for punishment, because if there's one topic that could be considered controversial about the usage of Twitter, it's this one. When someone new follows you, should you follow them back?
Some say yes, of course; it's rude not to. Some say no, why should I? Twitter isn't meant to be reciprocal. Others (like me) land somewhere in the middle. And still others are baffled, overwhelmed, or totally undecided.
Today I'm going to break down […]

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Derek Woodward will succeed Ken Torok as chief of Asia Pacific operations for UPS April 1.
The Atlanta-based carrier said Torok will retire this spring.
Woodward, 45, is a Canadian native who joined UPS in 1985 as a part-time package sorter and later worked as a driver. Seventeen of his 23 years in the transportation and logistics industry have been spent working outside North America for UPS in marketing, business development and sales positions. He moved to Singapore in 2007 to serve as a senior vice president to Torok, responsible for all staff functions for the Asia Pacific region.
Woodward reports to Dan Brutto, president of UPS International.
Torok, who joined UPS in 1975, had overseen more than 40 countries in Asia Pacific since 2003. Prior to that move, he served as the South Florida District manager in the United States.

Got a kid who just won't go to sleep? These proven tips from iVillage moms can help you streamline your bedtime -- fast!

Ever have one of those nights when you feel you've tried everything to get your kid to sleep? Whether you've got a baby who doesn't seem to want to rest, a toddler who refuses to get into bed or a preschooler with the negotiating skills of a litigator, these proven tips from iVillage moms can help you streamline your bedtime. Sing a Song"My best tip is to sing, 'The Ants Go Marching.' Something about the rhythmic repetition would calm my son right to sleep. We had a nightly bedtime routine with our son, which included two short stories and some snuggling. Then we'd put him in the crib, and pat his back to the song 'Ants Go Marching' and by the time we went from 'One by One' to 'Ten by Ten,' he'd be asleep. Now that his little sister is 9-months-old, we use the same technique with her." -- Patricia, Jersey City, NJ

The GM's Office: Toronto Blue Jays
Trade deadline objectives: AL East
It's looking like the AL East could become quite a race, with two teams (the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees) being within four games of the division-leading Baltimore Orioles, with the fourth-place Tampa Bay Rays having won nine of their past 10 games. Only the last-place Boston Red Sox check in as potential sellers, though we're not quite sure what the Rays will do at this point.
With that, let's have a look at the AL East deadline objectives:
What would it take to get Martin Prado?
Player: Martin Prado | 3B | Arizona Diamondbacks
Possible destinations: Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants
Why? The Blue Jays are in dire need of good right-handed hitters, as they've struggled against left-handed pitchers all season.
To continue reading this article you must be an Insider
What would it take to get Jason Hammel?
Player: Jason Hammel | RHP | Chicago Cubs
Possible destinations: New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, Seattle Mariners
Why: Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner has made it clear that he's prepared to open the checkbook to acquire a starting pitcher to help the Yankees' chances of making the postseason in Derek Jeter's final season.
Michael Pineda won't return until August (at the earliest), there is no guarantee CC Sabathia will be effective when he returns later this month, and Vidal Nuno has been mediocre at best. In other words, a rotation upgrade has become a necessity.
GM Brian Cashman has been speed-dialing his peers on a daily basis trying to add a starter sooner rather than later.
To continue reading this article you must be an Insider
What would it take to get David Price?
Player: David Price | LHP | Tampa Bay Rays
Possible destinations: St. Louis Cardinals, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays
Why? The Cardinals have had a plethora of pitching injuries lately, including shoulder injuries to Michael Wacha and Jaime Garcia, a forearm injury to Kevin Siegrist, a hamstring injury to Joe Kelly and a back injury to Shelby Miller. A trade for Price would give them a postseason rotation of Price, Adam Wainwright, Lance Lynn and Wacha, a group that compares favorably to those in Los Angeles (the Dodgers) and D.C.
Who? The Rays will start by asking for outfield prospect Oscar Tavares. If they could get Wil Myers for James Shields, then Tavares for Price only makes sense. However, St. Louis GM John Mozeliak will say "no," as he will when Rays GM Andrew Friedman follows up with "how about Wacha?"
Then the conversation will get serious and the Cardinals will probably have to part with either right-hander Miller or Carlos Martinez, as well as left-hander Marco Gonzalez.

A GM makes the top 10 picks
The ground rules are simple: At each slot, I make a pick in the best interest of the team holding the pick. I won't pass on a player at No. 5 just because I like how he fits better at No. 7. This is not a projection. If you want that, check out Keith Law's mock draft from Tuesday.
A general manager's involvement
There is a common misconception that the GM makes the selection of a team's draft picks. In fact, with nearly every team, it's the scouting director who makes the call in consultation with the GM.
Usually, the GMs of teams picking in the top 10 will go out and see the elite prospects and settle debates at the top of the draft board. Most organizations will say their philosophy is to take the best player on the board, but very few do. For example, a team needing pitching at the major league level might move a college pitcher up on the board a few places to take him. And some teams will bypass players for financial, medical or makeup reasons. I've tried to incorporate that mindset into my picks.
These selections were based mostly on talking with more than a dozen general managers and scouting directors, but I've also watched video of a number of the top prospects. This year's draft doesn't feature a generational talent like Bryce Harper, but it is deep, and there are roughly a dozen players who will get serious consideration for picks No. 5 through 10.
1. Houston Astros | Pick: Carlos Rodon | LHP | NC State
Without a top-notch bat to debate in this spot, the Astros should take one of the top three pitchers in Rodon, Brady Aiken or Tyler Kolek.

A Blue Jays rebuilding plan
The four other teams in their division are well-equipped to make a playoff run, while the Jays are plagued by a lack of pitching depth and have already seen Jose Reyes -- the key to any 2014 revival -- hit the DL again with a hamstring injury.
Now, I'm not going to blame general manager Alex Anthopoulos for this predicament. Back in the fall of 2012, he sensed that the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox might be poised to drop off -- a sentiment shared around the league at the time -- and decided to see if he could capitalize by trading a number of elite prospects, such as Noah Syndergaard, Travis d'Arnaud, Jake Marisnick and Justin Nicolino, in two separate deals with the Mets and Marlins that netted him R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson and Reyes.
Everyone in baseball believed the Blue Jays were headed for October -- and many thought Anthopoulos would win executive of the year -- but their playoff hopes were dashed by injuries and underperformance.

10 bold predictions for spring training
Well, it's time for more bold predictions, and I'm beginning with spring training. Let's take a look at my 10 bold predictions for 2014 spring training. (Don't worry, I'll make more bold predictions for the regular season.)
1. Matt Kemp doesn't play in a single major league spring training game.
Kemp is still recovering from microfracture surgery on his left talus bone (a major weight-bearing bone in his ankle), and I think he will begin the season on the disabled list.

GM buzz: Latest on free agents
Why are so many players still on the market? Well, the agents and union have their theory, while the clubs have a different view. Multiple agents representing free agents who are still on the market told me over the weekend that they, as well as the players' union, are concerned that social networking and the media's advanced coverage of the sport are hurting the market value of their clients.
Some even went so far as to suggest that teams are possibly violating the clause in the collective bargaining agreement that prevents clubs from influencing a free agent's market value by relaying to the media the offers they've made to free agents, and whether clubs plan to make an offer or decline to make an offer. Certainly media coverage of baseball's offseason is the best it's ever been, but these conclusions have very little merit when you look at the enormous contracts that were given out this offseason to the likes of Robinson Cano, Clayton Kershaw and Masahiro Tanaka, among others.
On the other hand, general managers and assistant GMs have a different opinion. The majority believe the main reason so many free agents remain on the market is that all have some type of negative issue surrounding them, whether that's injury history, a performance-enhancing drug suspension, career inconsistency or draft-pick compensation. GMs also point to the agents' inflated expectations in terms of years and dollars considering the risks associated with these players.
With that in mind, here's the latest scuttlebutt from the front offices around the league.
Where will they land?
• David Price is staying in Tampa. Rays GM Andrew Friedman has listened to every club that had a trade proposal for Price and came away knowing his best decision is to keep him and try to win this year.
The Rays know that trading Price at the deadline probably won't be an option because the team will be in a pennant race, so it will be next offseason when he's finally traded.

The missing link for every AL team
Houston Astros
Missing link: Pitching prospects
Solution: Trade 3B Matt Dominguez for prospects
The Astros are doing a masterful job of following the blueprint of general manager Jeff Luhnow, building through the draft and player development while mixing in a few veteran free agents who will have some trade value at the deadline.

10 bold predictions for rest of the winter
Plenty of big moves are still likely to come. So, here are my 10 bold predictions of the rest of the offseason. Not all are personnel related, but most will have significant impact on teams or the game itself.
1. New York Yankees, Los Angeles Angels go over the luxury-tax threshold
The Yankees have worked hard over the last couple of seasons to try and keep their payroll below $189 million dollars for this season, and the Angels have worked diligently this offseason to do the same.
To continue reading this article you must be an Insider
2015 FAs who should be traded now
In fact, don't be surprised if these guys get contract extensions before hitting the market next winter, with Kershaw being the most likely of the three to get a new deal.
However, there are five players who will be eligible for free agency next fall who probably should have already been traded since they haven't been locked up to multiyear deals. Some of these players are on contending teams, but none of which are large markets and really can't afford to let them walk as a free agent and receive only a draft pick as compensation.
Here is the breakdown of the five players I think should be traded by Opening Day if they are not given a contract extension.
1. Chase Headley, 3B | San Diego Padres
Headley, 29, had 31 doubles and 31 homers in 2012 and finished in the top five in NL MVP voting. His power numbers were down this year (.400 slugging), but he still plays a position where there is a lot more demand than supply and could fetch a lot in a trade.
The Angels, Dodgers, Marlins and Yankees all started the offseason with needs at third base and could have matched up well in a deal for the Padres, though the Angels and Dodgers have patched that hole for at least the next couple of years with David Freese and Juan Uribe, respectively.

10 moves that still need to happen
As I look around the league, I can see 10 more moves that make a lot of sense and should to get done for their teams to remain viable contenders for 2014. Let's take a look:
1. Los Angeles Angels | Move: Sign free-agent RHP Matt Garza
The Angels have worked hard

Eight big names who could be traded
However, consider that the appetizer. The main course awaits at baseball's annual winter meetings in Orlando. Expect to see another slew of big names swap teams. Here are eight players who are most likely to be on the move.
1. David Price | LHP | Tampa Bay Rays
I think the Rays most likely will trade Price during the winter meetings. While they have the option of waiting until next July's trade deadline or even next offseason if they don't get the prospect package they're looking for, their history says he's gone.
The Rays will likely be in the pennant race by July so it will be difficult to trade Price at that point. The 2014 offseason is just too late to trade him considering Price's value would be much lower because his new club would only control him for one season and thus net a correspondingly lower trade package. And an extension simply is cost prohibitive based on the present market.
But where will he go? After acquiring Wil Myers in the deal for James Shields last year, executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman will insist on a prospect of at least the same caliber, but this time around will prefer a starting pitching prospect who could develop into a No. 1 starter.
To continue reading this article you must be an Insider
Four trades for Jeff Samardzija
Certainly their priority is to re-sign their ace right-hander to a long-term contract. However, if they enter the winter meetings without closure to negotiations with Samardzija, don't be surprised if they deal him. As the rumor mill has probably told you by now, Cubs president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer also have been checking the trade market to find out which avenue is best for their long-term goals.
With a free-agent market thin on top-of-the-rotation starters, Samardzija is arguably better than what's available, including Matt Garza, Ervin Santana, Hiroki Kuroda, Ubaldo Jimenez and Bronson Arroyo. After Japan and MLB agree on a posting system, you possibly can add even Masahiro Tanaka to that list.
However, the Cubs don't have to trade Samardzija -- they control him for two more seasons and have the ability to move him at the July trade deadline or next offseason. However, as we discussed with Tampa Bay Rays left-hander David Price, the 28-year-old Samardzija is entering his prime, as his trade value will likely never be higher.
Samardzija pitched a career-high 213 2/3 innings this season, finishing with a 4.34 ERA and 1.24 WHIP. He has a nasty fastball in the 93-96 mph range, which he also cuts in the low 90s, with a hard slider (84 mph) and nasty split-finger fastball (also 84 mph). The repertoire says he should be a top-of-the-rotation type starter and in a new environment should reach that potential this upcoming season.
To deal him, however, the Cubs have to receive a significant package in return. And since their system is flush with elite hitting prospects but few pitchers, they would be looking to add elite arms in any major deal. So here are four trades for Samardzija that would make sense for the Cubs. If they can't get this type of return, they should just hold on to him.
1. Baltimore Orioles trade RHP Kevin Gausman straight up
The Orioles' window to win a World Series title with their present corps of stars will close over the next two seasons. And without a top-of-the-rotation starter, that's going to be difficult.

National Fuel Gas' CEO Discusses Q3 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
We would like to remind you that today's teleconference will contain forward-looking statements. While National Fuel's expectations, beliefs and projections are made in good faith and are believed to have a reasonable basis, actual results may differ materially. These statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and you may refer to last evening's earnings release for a listing of certain specific risk factors
With that, we will begin with Dave Smith.
David F. Smith
Thank you, Tim, and good morning to everyone. Last night National Fuel reported third earnings of $0.52 per share. Continuing the trend from the first half of the fiscal year, lower realized natural gas prices had a significant impact on our consolidated results. Quarter-over-quarter Seneca's Natural Gas prices after hedging were $1.55 per Mcf lower, which reduced E&P earnings by about $0.20 per share.Despite a drop of 28%, and realized natural gas prices. Consolidated earnings overall were down only 7% or $0.04 per share. Thanks in large part to our diversified business model and our continued focus on long-term growth particularly in our midstream businesses. There were multiple bright spots across all of our major business segments. At Seneca, consolidated production was up 31%. In the Pipeline and Storage segment the Line N and Tioga County extension projects help drive a $0.10 per share increase in earnings. The Trout Run gathering system was just recently placed in service, and while utility earnings were down slightly by $0.02 per share our employees in both of our regulated business segments did a great job and keeping an eye on spending, which help to limit the overall impact of the 17% warmer than normal winter. Operationally, National Fuel had a great quarter, as I just mentioned Seneca's consolidated production of 22.1-Bcfe increased 5.2-Bcfe or 31% despite a reduction in CapEx. Most of this increase in production occurred in each division where in late May we commenced production on four very good wells on our Tract 100 acreage in Lycoming County.

Three men who guided Pat Tillman to excellence on the gridiron spoke of him Saturday as fathers mourning the loss — and celebrating the life — of a favorite son.
Before an estimated 3,000 onlookers at Arizona State University's Sun Devil Stadium, former Tillman coaches Bruce Snyder, Larry Marmie and Dave McGinnis eulogized the fallen soldier by recalling his standout moments and praising his outstanding qualities.
"He never missed a class, he never missed a practice — I don't think he ever even missed a tackle," former ASU head coach Snyder said.
During the public memorial, Gov. Janet Napolitano, Arizona Cardinals president Michael Bidwill and ASU President Michael Crow also paid their respects to the former ASU and Cardinals player who turned down a multimillion-dollar football contract to serve in Afghanistan, where he was killed April 22.
The ceremony opened with a flyby of four U.S. Air Force jet fighters and closed with the release of 27 white doves, one to signify each year of Tillman's life.
Even the football field upon which Tillman played in his college and professional careers became a memorial painted with the words "Pat Tillman," "1976-2004," and the images of ASU mascot Sparky, the Cardinals logo and the U.S. Army Rangers emblem.
Marmie described Tillman as a "simple guy" who preferred fitting in with his peers but stood out because of his unending pursuit of excellence.
"His goal was to be the best he could be at any endeavor," the former Cardinals defensive coordinator said. "It sounds real easy, but actually it's very difficult."
Former Cardinals coach McGinnis, recalled some of the young player's best moments on the football field and spoke of his bravery on the battlefield.
"It is our duty to keep his spirit alive in our world," he said.
McGinnis ended with a blessing not just for Tillman, but for "all the young men and women that protect our freedom," bringing the crowd to a standing ovation.
Napolitano admitted she did not know Tillman and said she felt like Pericles, the ruler of ancient Athens who questioned whether words of praise could do justice to his soldiers' great sacrifices in the war with Sparta.
"He lauded his soldiers for choosing to die resisting rather than to live submitting," Napolitano said of Pericles' famous funeral oration. "He may as well have been talking about modern-day United States and Pat Tillman."
Crow called Tillman a role model because he was an excellent student and a gifted athlete. He said Tillman's decision to join the Rangers was consistent with the values of many sports competitors.
"For athletes, there is no ambiguity," Crow said. "There is winning and there is losing. There is liberty and no liberty."

Egypt's army rulers hike tone against protesters
On Wednesday, the ruling military council issued a statement on its Facebook page saying more protests are aimed at "toppling the state."
A harsher warning came from an unidentified high-ranking intelligence official quoted in the state news agency as saying authorities uncovered a plot to "drag the pure youth and losers in the parliamentary elections into foiling the parliament elections and toppling the army and the state."
The official said authorities tracked down "communications and moves" aimed at throwing the country into a "civil war between the people and the army" to give foreign forces justification to intervene.
In an implicit warning against protests, the official urged young people not to "get involved in this plot."
At the same time, Justice Minister Adel Abdel-Hamid accused around 300 non-governmental organizations of receiving unauthorized foreign funding and using the money to encourage protesters.
Hossam el-Hamalawy, a prominent activist who long campaigned against Mubarak and has been highly critical of the military rulers, said the statements could signal a new arrests against revolutionary groups.
His group, the Revolutionary Socialists, which organizes labor movements, has come under criticism in state media after footage of a group meeting showed a member saying popular pressure must be built against the military to remove Mubarak's loyalists.
"We saw this coming a while ago. It is increasing as other political forces are withdrawing from the streets. We are more on the ground," he said. "That is not going to intimidate us."
"The military is the backbone of the dictatorship. They are the ones who run this country since 1952," he said.
Under the military's timetable, a new constitution will be written after parliament convenes in March, then once it is approved, presidential elections would be held and the military would cede power to the winner by the end of June.
In recent days, a number of pro-revolutionary groups put forward proposals that the military council cede its position as head of state in January. Under one initiative, it would surrender its powers to the speaker of parliament. Under another, presidential elections would be moved up to January.
The Brotherhood's political party, the Freedom and Justice Party, issued a statement rejecting both options. Instead, it called for "full-throttle efforts to complete the legislative elections."
The Brotherhood worries that moving up presidential elections could undermine its efforts to concentrate future power in the parliament.
After two rounds of voting, the Brotherhood is on track to gain around 40-50 percent of the parliament's seats, and the more conservative Salafi movement's main Al-Nour Party has so far won more than 20 percent, setting the stage for an Islamist majority in the new legislature. On Wednesday, voting was held in a run-off for the second of the election's three rounds to determine the winner in districts where no candidate won 50 percent.
The Brotherhood is counting on the new parliament to have considerable political power to eclipse the military until its handover. In the drafting of the new constitution, the Brotherhood wants to curtail the powers of the president, which were nearly unlimited under Mubarak, and give parliament greater authority.

Bexar County Courtroom Corruption
San Antonio, Texas
A federal probe has been investigating corruption in the Bexar County Courthouse. Attorney Alberto Acevedo Jr. has pleaded guilty to bribing a Judge Angus McGinty. Judge McGinty has not been formally charged, but has resigned in February, 2014.
Hundreds of letters were sent out notifying people with connections to the Bexar County Courthouse that their phones were subject to a wiretap. The investigators have allegedly recorded a conversation between Judge McGinty and Attorney Acevado where an agreement was made to exchange car repairs for reducing the bond of Acevado's clients.
There has been no confirmation to what sparked the investigation, but Travis Mendiola, a former client of Acevado, claims that he was the first whisle-blower. He played an audio recording where he alleged a troubling relationship between Al Acevado and Judge Monica Guerrero. Guerrero was voted out of office in 2010, and has not been indicated as a subject of the investigation.

"That [duration of the tap mentioned in the letter] suggests the wire definitely has criminal activity on it. The judge gave them a number of extensions because he saw criminal activity. You've got one serious investigation going on." - James Wedich, retired veteran FBI agent (5)

Vision 20/20 plan for Cooperative Program increase
During the SBCV 2009 Annual Homecoming, the member churches of the SBCV voted to approve the Vision 20/20 Report, a comprehensive vision for the next ten years of ministry.
Among the elements of the Vision 20/20 Report was the proposal that the SBCV be a sacrificial missional network in which greater resources are channeled to national and international mission causes through the Cooperative Program:
"The SBCV will partner with national entities to fulfill the Great Commission. The SBCV already sets a national standard by forwarding a full 50% of its CP receipts to the SBC. The V20/20 Team recommends that this be increased by a quarter of a percent each year for the next 10 years, subject to an annual review. This is based on the conviction that God's Word is true:
'Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.' (Luke 6:38).
Early estimates are that this will mean an additional 1.2 million dollars for national and international mission causes over the next decade. . ."
This means that each year heading towards 2020 a larger and larger portion of your giving will be donated from the SBCV to Southern Baptist Convention national and international mission efforts. By 2020, a full 52.5% of every dollar that your church gives to the SBCV will go towards this goal.482
