Arizona Cardinals
Arizona's next DC? Todd Bowles released from Eagles contract
It all seems to be lining up.
The Arizona Cardinals, who hired Bruce Arians as head coach seemingly at the expense of defensive coordinator Ray Horton, will need to replace the architect of their defense.
The name linked to Arizona has been that of Todd Bowles, who finished last season as the defensive coordinator in Philadelphia.
He's now available to the Cardinals, according to USA Today NFL writer Mike Garafolo.
It's official: Todd Bowles has been released from his contract by the Eagles. Next stop, Arizona.— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) January 18, 2013
Bowles, 49, has spent time with the Dolphins, Cowboys, Browns and Jets as an assistant, but got his first taste of being a coordinator last season when he replaced Juan Castillo during the 2012 season.
The Eagles defense did not improve under Bowles, however, ultimately finishing 15th in total defense while giving up nearly 28 points per game.

Painting mirror frame
Hi, I have a very cool old black Victorian type wall mirror. Still not sure if I want to paint it black or white, but for now it is white - sorta. I think a black would pop more on the wall and be more of a statement. I plan to mount it longways as opposed to full length. Should I drybrush it with the black so give it an aged appearance?
I think that would look good. I painted my light fixture in the bathroom black and have gold rub to put on it but haven't taken the time. I painted a black border around the mirror on the wall with gold diamonds in it to match my bedroom decor. I'll post a picture. It made the mirror stand out.
Here is a link that might be useful:
I just recently found a cool Victorian mirror frame (no mirror) and am painting it a cream color then dry brushing the liquid gold over it. It will be for my grandaughter's "Cinderella" room that I'll be making over this summer in PA. My son is taking a photo of her in her dress-up Cinderella gown & crown, then I'm blowing it up to poster size & placing in the frame.
Your color choice is just a matter of preference. What room is it going to be in? What color wood is featured in your room?
Phonegirl..great mirror!

I agree. Linn is still heavily leveraged. It was heavily leveraged at $90/bbl.
Linn looks like it will survive, they will likely continue making acquisitions, however, they will need to make the bulk of those transactions with equity. It will take time, but they can deleverage themselves by making 100% equity financed deals, even if they are only modestly accretive.
I see little reason for EVEP to cut the distribution if they are approaching a 1.0x coverage. Monetization of UEO should push them over a 1.0x coverage ratio. The proceeds of UEO can be redeployed into producing properties.
I think a cut of that size is probably too pessimistic. ARP's oil exposure is less than LINE or BBEP.
Also, I suspect a cut will come after the ATLS/APL/TRGP/NGLS deal is completed. That way they can come back and "revise" their projections.
I would like to see a farm-out type arrangement similar to Linn's with Blackstone. When ARP came public, I was under the mistaken belief that they would treat the cash flow that was received from managing the private drilling partnerships as "growth capital" rather than as part of the base distributable cash flow. It appears that they have relied on that capital to pay distributions. While it would seem that cash is fungible, my belief is that DCF ought to come from production and that all maintenance capital ought to come from that production. Any cash received from the private drilling programs should be classified as growth capital.
A reduction in private drilling program capital raises therefore would have little impact on baseline distributions, but would clearly impact growth.
The Cohens may not like that their new "GP" will be hobbled. The IDR stream will be severely hindered if ARP has to cut...but it may be the prudent thing to do..
The Blackstone deal isn't significant. In essence, it is $15 million a year in drilling capital to Linn, which is nice, but really isn't material relative to say the 2014 budget of $1.5 billion (1%). The deal is $500 million over 5 years so one must adjust for time value as well.By the time GSO's 85% Working Interest reduces to 5%, the wells will have declined heavily.
However, it will allow Linn to generate a lot of PUD reserves that otherwise would not have been developed as surrounding acreage will get proven up. That in theory can help with their reserve based credit facility.
The cut had long been predicted by the street, sorry Ellis, your efforts to deny it were ineffective. Now, Linn must go out and execute, something they have, shall we say, struggled with over the last 24 months.
"sell the hedges".. That is essentially what Continental Resources did late last year, and, well, it didn't turn out well. Poor Harold Hamm, things haven't gone too well for him the last 12 months between what amounts to one of the most expensive divorces in US history, the falling price in CLR's share price, which nearly halved his fortune and then totally botching the cash out of their crude hedges. I doubt anyone will shed any tears for him as he is worth billions.
Of course, on the other hand, Linn would be monetizing their hedges at a much better position (i.e. nearer the bottom than CLR did) with crude near $53, thereby negating much of the risk. It seems likely that crude will drop into the $40's but seems very unlikely that it will drop into the $30's. Linn could very well monetize their crude hedges and hope that 2015 brings higher prices but then again, that would be a huge deviation from Linn's modus operandi, which is to mitigate risk and produce stable, steady cash flow. The last time Linn strayed off the beaten course, they got shellacked by the Hogshooter and Granite Wash fiascos. If crude drops into the $40's it might however present an opportunity to monetize the '15 crude hedges at what is likely the nadir. I would not be happy seeing monetization of hedges beyond '15 or gas hedges.
The Blackstone carry is interesting, giving Linn a nice 15% working interest. It remains to be seen how much will actually be invested and what returns they will achieve, with the caveat being that Blackstone must achieve 15% IRR before the bulk of their working interest reverts back to Linn.
The step-up to 95% on the back-end is not going to do anything for them in the near term, but will give Linn a nice shot in the arm when it does happen. Remember, by the time Blackstone's working interest reverts back to Linn, the wells will be well into the flat part of the decline curve. Nevertheless, it opens the door for future farm-outs which, barring a meaningful uptick in crude pricing, will allow Linn to grow in a capital efficient manner.
What you say is true regarding the Utica acreage, however, the divestiture of UEO will likely present no difficulty and should allow them to redeploy those proceeds at a lower multiple of cash flow into PDP properties.
I hold little hope in them monetizing more Utica or Eagle Ford other than perhaps small chunks, but would be delightfully pleased if they do.
No doubt EVEP management has not delivered on the much anticipated Utica divestiture. The irony is that when EVEP was trading as high as it did, they had a very low yield and could have simply issued units to purchase existing production.
I would add that, while they have failed to produce any earth shattering transactions, they find themselves in fairly good shape, with cash to deploy in a market that might produce some nice PDP assets if prices stay low. I have no doubts that Enervest is eyeing KWK's Barnett operations when KWK finally goes under.
I would expect EVEP to purchase gas assets at current prices as most producers are not likely interested in selling crude production at current prices.
Well, EVEP has fared much better than most of the other E&P MLPs. The monetization of CGS and the potential monetization of UEO in '15 should allow them to purchase assets, potentially at low commodity prices which may provide some upside in the future. The buying by Walker seems like he supports EVEP long-term. I doubt he throws that kind of money into EVEP if he felt like it was overvalued or was going to "crash and burn".
They have very low exposure to oil relative to many of the other E&P MLPs. Of course, now natural gas is crashing, but EVEP has decent natural gas hedges.
I think EVEP has a very good chance of weathering the storm without having to cut the distribution. That being said, I wouldn't look for anything more than the nominal quarterly increase. At current prices, it's a nice 15% yield.
Yes, but it is good news that producers are responding so prudently and soquickly. The quicker that rigs are dropped, the quicker that natural decline can start taking over and supply/demand can be restored. It will take 12-18 months.
Last weeks decline in oil rigs was quite frankly, much lower than I had expected. This weeks was larger. I'd look for, on average, 15 to 20 rigs to be dropped every week over the next 3 or 4 months.

Acorn Novella Smoking Slippers 11 11
Slippers that bring a smile to my face Even better in person than they appeared in the catalog. Comfy, cute, good fit (I have a narrowish foot) and well made. I'm tempted to order another pair in a different print! February 18, 2015
CLASSY This slippers are so classy that you will not be ashamed to answer your door in them. They are comfortable too. I wear a 9 1/2 and ordered a 10 but was nervous they would be too big - they fit PERFECT and a 9 would have been too small. Love these slippers. Got the black and white - would love another pair but the others look old lady to me. October 15, 2014
Guess I'm not a slipper person I rarely buy "true" slippers. I have some inexpensive ballet slippers that I usually wear when I'm at home and that's usually enough. But these Acorn slippers looked so darn cute in the photograph and I decided I'd splurge and buy the black & white patterned pair. As other reviewers have noted. These slippers are very comfortable. They are generously padded and supportive which is great if you have low arches as I do. I also liked the rubber sole which makes them more durable and provides traction on wood floors. One issue I had: my right foot is about a 1/2 inch longer than my left and I've developed a pinched nerve because most of my shoes are too tight in the toe box for my right foot. The size 8 I purchased fit my left foot perfectly but were tight on my right. As slippers these are a snugger fit than most and they aren't quite as forgiving as I expected. If I were madly in love with them I might have tried a size 9 and added extra padding so the left foot fit. As I noted in my review title, it may be I'm not a house slipper person. They're very cute but for something I'm only going to wear around my home, I didn't love them enough to make the purchase. October 1, 2014
Awesome Slippers These slippers are so cute and stylish. Super comfy and could easily be worn outside the house. The fit is true to size. April 13, 2014
Absolutely LOVE them! They fit true to size and are very comfy! Super cute as well. I purchased the starfish in aqua. Loved them so much I purchased a pair for a Mother's Day gift. April 11, 2014
great slipper I usually wear a 7.5 and ordered the 7; after about 20 minutes they stretched and now feel like a custom fit. These keep my feet warm with just the right amount of padding inside. Acorn slippers in general are well made and this style is is attractive! I'm buying my mom a pair; the no slip sole is great on hardwood floors. thanks, GH! April 8, 2014

Three bills now move to the Senate, where Homeland Security Chairman Carper will determine that chamber's strategy for cyber legislation.
Security standards for federal computer networks would get a spring cleaning under a bill passed by the House on April 16.
The Federal Information Security Amendments Act of 2013 updates the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 and makes the director of the Office and Management and Budget responsible for overseeing the security of government information systems.
The bill also requires agencies to comply with computer security standards developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and requires each agency to develop and implement security programs under the direction of its CIO. Furthermore, the legislation stipulates that senior federal managers be graded on IT security as part of their annual performance evaluations.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who sponsored the legislation as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said the FISMA update will improve the nation's cyber defense posture. It addresses "the shortcomings of FISMA by incorporating recent technological innovations. It will also enhance and strengthen the current framework that protects federal information technology systems," Issa said in an emailed statement.
The bill had strong bipartisan support. Ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) co-sponsored the bill, which passed the full House by a vote of 416-0.
The House passed two other IT bills in the same session with near-unanimous support under a suspension of House rules, which require two-thirds majority for passage.
The Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2013 seeks to improve the cyber workforce through research grants and strategic planning. It also requires the executive branch to take stock of the current cyber workforce and plan to train and deploy the cyber workforce of the future. The bill instructs OMB to develop a comprehensive cloud computing strategy that includes the security of data stored on cloud-based servers and the security of the physical equipment.
The High-Performance Computing Act of 1991 was amended under the Advancing America's Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Act. It would update the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development program to reflect technological developments and account for shifts in priorities. Among other things, the update includes new research on big data, visualization and human/computer interaction.
All three measures now go to the Senate. In the previous Congress, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee tried and failed to pass comprehensive cybersecurity legislation. It is not clear whether new chairman Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) plans to take up these individual bills or will seek a broader legislative package.
The cyber-focused action on the House floor followed several votes on federal workforce and contracting issues on April 15. A bill that would make government employees with serious tax delinquencies ineligible for federal employment failed to advance. However, the House overwhelmingly passed the Contracting and Tax Accountability Act of 2013, under which individuals and firms seeking to contract with the government would have to declare that they are not burdened by seriously delinquent tax bills.

President Obama's proposal to boost government coordination with the private sector got a warm welcome in the House Homeland Security Committee.
The spy agency wants to better integrate cybersecurity into its traditional human intelligence operations.
This is so wrong I am speechless: "A bill that would make government employees with serious tax delinquencies ineligible for federal employment failed to advance. However, the House overwhelmingly passed the Contracting and Tax Accountability Act of 2013, under which individuals and firms seeking to contract with the government would have to declare that they are not burdened by seriously delinquent tax bills." Utter hypocrisy. Do as I say, not as I do.
Since I have NO faith in Congress, I remain skeptical. I am always concerned about any Legislation that can serve to rob everyone of their Liberty.
Are you serious? How could they pass a law that exempts anyone with serious tax liabilities from federal employment. The house and senate would be empty!

Often, sensory input underdetermines perception. One such example is the perception of illusory contours. In illusory contour perception, the content of the percept includes the presence of a contour that is absent from the informational content of the sensation. (By "sensation" I mean merely information-bearing events at the transducer level. I intend no further commitment, such as the identification of sensations with qualia.) I call instances of perception underdetermined by sensation "underdetermined perception."
The perception of illusory contours is just one kind of underdetermined perception (see Figure 8.1). The focus of this chapter is another kind of underdetermined perception: what I shall call "active perception." Active perception occurs in cases in which the percept, while underdetermined by sensation, is determined by a combination of sensation and action. The phenomenon of active perception has been used by several to argue against the positing of representations in explanations of sensory experience, either by arguing that no representations need be posited or that far fewer than previously thought need be posited. Such views include, but are not limited to, those of J. Gibson (1966, 1986), P. S. Churchland et al. (1994), T. Jarvilehto (1998), and J. O'Regan and A. Noë (2001). In this chapter, I argue for the contrary position that active perception is actually best accounted for by a representational theory of perception. Along the way, this will require a relatively novel conception of what to count as representations.

Solutions for Gulf Oil Spill
2010-06-21 0:00
Clean Up - Oil Eating Microbes
Cap The Well - Smart Pipe
Further Cleanup - Hay
Oil-eating microbes seen as possible solution to spill
One scientist compares them to the yellow chompers in the Pac-Man video game hungry, single-minded little microbes fueled by the same fertilizer farmers use on soybeans, gobbling hydrocarbons from the oily waters, marshes and shores of the Gulf of Mexico.
Can the naturally occurring microbes help clean up the oil spill? Yes, experts say. At least in part, with some risk.
Officials are taking note. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist on Thursday visited a Sarasota company that sells microbes that eat oil. BP says it is open to using them. And the federal government is contacting its preapproved list of more than a dozen companies to see how quickly they can ramp up production.
Scientists call the process bioremediation.
"You take natural oil-eating microbes in the water and give them fertilizer to make them multiply and degrade the oil faster. Oil is a natural product. It's inherently biodegradable," said Terry Hazen, microbial ecologist in the Earth Sciences Division of the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in California.
Oil-eating microbes are some of the smallest living things on Earth, but they can have a powerful impact. They occur naturally in water, and when they come into contact with oil, they eat it, producing the byproducts carbon dioxide and water. When fertilized with nitrogen and phosphorous, they grow and multiply, and their appetites become prodigious.
Still, scientists caution that bioremediation is only a partial solution. It is best used on sandy beaches and in salt marshes after the thickest oil has been removed by bulldozer and shovel. It has never been tried before in deep water or open ocean.
It also runs some risk of damaging the very waters it is meant to rescue. Some scientists say it might be better at times to let nature take its course.
Jay Grimes, a microbiologist at the University of Southern Mississippi, is a fan of the process: "It could help a lot. It was used in the Alaska oil spill (from the Exxon Valdez in 1989). It worked very well on the rocky shores."
Bioremediation cannot do the whole job, said Chris Reddy, marine chemist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts.
"The idea that microbes can come in and clean house from A to Z is not likely," he said. "What they can do, on their own time, is eat some compounds and play an important role in the cleanup."
BP says it is looking into bioremediation. "Potentially we could do it, but we would need approval from the EPA," spokesman Tristan Vanheganu said last week. "Typically it's not done until the oil has stopped flowing."
The federal government is working on possible bioremediation efforts. The EPA has created a National Contingency Plan Product Schedule listing more than 20 biological agents approved for use in encouraging microbes to attack oil spills.
The USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service is contacting the companies that make them to see how quickly they can ramp up production.
There is yet another oil-eating product, called Munox, made by Osprey Biotechnics of Sarasota, that has drawn interest from Florida officials. Munox isolates natural microbes from nature, ferments them and adds proprietary ingredients to turn them into a concentrated liquid form to spray on oil spills.
But there is a danger. Too much fertilizer can create blooms of algae that use up all the oxygen in the surrounding water, creating "dead zones." There is a 6,000-square-mile dead zone in the Gulf off the mouth of the Mississippi River, created years ago by the same fertilizers washing down from upriver farms.
"It's pretty big and pretty scary," said Jim Spain, professor of environmental engineering at Georgia Tech.
As much as 20 million gallons of oil a year naturally seeps into the Gulf through tiny fissures in the sea bed. Over time, microbes have evolved that eat the oil in the water, enough so that all the seeping oil does not create a sheen.
The microbes are neither plant nor animal. They are bacteria, with names such as Alcanivorax borkumensis.
But the huge BP spill has overwhelmed existing microbes. To grow enough in size and number to cope with the spill, they need nitrogen, phosphorous and iron.
"They're like Pac-Men. Their mouths are only so big," Reddy said. "Their ability to eat oil is closely coupled to their number."
Fueled by fertilizer, the microbes can multiply and eat the oil. That is the upside. The possible downsides are less well-understood.
"There hasn't been a full-scale addition of fertilizer in the open ocean to clean up a spill," Spain said. "There's never been an experiment as big as this. We have to be very careful."
Scientists differ over the success of past bioremediations.
In Alaska after the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill, cleanup crews spread nitrogen and phosphorus in liquid sprays and slow-release pellets on hundreds of miles of oil-coated rocks in Prince William Sound to quicken the action of natural microbes in eating the oil, says Ronald Atlas, a microbiologist at the University of Louisville who took part in the cleanup.
Atlas says, and a 1991 EPA after-action report confirms, that the fertilizer increased the degradation of the oil three- to five-fold, with no damage to the environment.
"The beaches became visually cleaner," the report said.
Hazen, who studied the project, has a different conclusion. He says the bioremediation of the sound with phosphorous and nitrogen wrought severe long-term damage to its ecology.
"We took a low-nutrition environment and added lots of fertilizer. The phosphorous created nuisance algae."
Bioremediation in the Gulf of Mexico must be thoroughly studied and done carefully, the experts agree.
"There may be reason to use it where the oil is not degrading fast enough," Hazen said. "In other cases, the best thing may be to do nothing."
Scientists differ on whether fertilizing natural microbes can help degrade deep oil plumes as far as 3,300 feet beneath the surface of the Gulf. Georgia Tech's Spain said he fears fertilizing microbes at great depths might use up the tiny amounts of oxygen that exist there, creating even more oxygen-depleted dead zones.
Earlier this month, Hazen and his team set out in boats to examine the plumes, taking 200 water samples in the Gulf. They found microbes already in existence and noted it might not be necessary to add fertilizer. But nearer shore, on sandy beaches and in salt marshes, microbes might have a bigger role, Hazen said.
"The best thing you can do is to use sorbents and skimmers to get as much as you can. Then look seriously to decide if you need to do anything else," he said.
Grimes, the Mississippi biologist, believes microbes can help in salt marshes, where oil mixes with water and grass and cannot be cleaned by bulldozers or shovels.
"The first year there's not much you can do to reverse damage to marine animals or plants in marshes. But if you can speed biodegradation, you can hope the ecosystem will start to rebuild within four or five years," he said.
He added that it is important not to let wave action wash fertilizer into the water, where it could create algae blooms.
Another potential problem is that when microbes eat oil, a byproduct is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. In an area as large as the Gulf, could it be enough to hurt the ozone layer?
"We don't have that answer," Grimes said.
Despite its shortcomings, bioremediation of oil spills has influential supporters.
Albert Venosa, an environmental expert at the EPA's National Risk Management Research Laboratory who studied the issue, told a U.S. House subcommittee June 9: "Bioremediation can be very effective on sandy marine shorelines, wetlands and salt marshes. But it is much slower (than mechanical means), weeks to months or more, and is not usually considered a first response."

About the Book
Detective Avraham Avraham must find a teenage boy who has vanished from his quiet suburban neighborhood.
Police detective Avraham Avraham knows that when a crime is committed in his sleepy suburb of Tel Aviv, there is little need for a complex investigation. There are no serial killers or kidnappings here. The perpetrator is usually the neighbor, the uncle, or the father. As he has learned, the simplest explanation is always the answer.
But his theory is challenged when a sixteen-year-old boy named Ofer Sharabi disappears without a trace while on his way to school one morning. There is no simple explanation, and Avraham's ordered world is consumed by the unimaginable perplexity of the case.
The more he finds out about the boy and his circumstances, the further out of reach the truth seems to be. Avraham's best lead is Ofer's older neighbor and tutor, Ze'ev Avni. Avni has information that sheds new light on the case—and makes him a likely suspect. But will the neighbor's strange story save the investigation?
Told through dual perspectives, The Missing File is a crisp, suspenseful tale that introduces an indelible new detective and offers an evocative portrait of suburban life and tension with a universal reach. As it draws to its startling conclusion, D. A. Mishani's twisting mystery will have readers questioning notions of innocence and guilt, and the nebulous nature of truth.

Salvia ballotaeflora
I have been trying to e-mail Rich Dufresne to see if he would be interested in some S.ballotaeflora for this fall but it
keeps coming back as undeliverable.
Does anyone else grow this woody Salvia?
I checked this one off of our want list it seemed to be a desert plant, and we do NOT do well with desert plants here. Cloud forest species are very happy here.
Am I correct in this?
I don't grow it, but I'd like to try! It's a Texas native, as my father was. :)
I live more inland (drier) than Kermit, so it should grow. I read that it's a Painted Lady butterfly host plant, and my 6 year old is raising those caterpillars right now. Art, do you have seed, or know of a source?
thanks, Michelle
Salvia balloaeflora is native to the Texas Hill Country
more rain than the desert (30") but it is not a cloud forest plant either. We had 50" of rain one year it did fine.
I would be interestede to see how it performs in California.
Voodoobrew & Annette :
I have never seen seed on the plants here or at the 1000'elevation in the Hill Country. I can see about cuttings for here in the USA. I will see what I can do
for cuttings.
Annette :
I do have Salvia farinacea called "Bicolor" the bee lines in the lip have fussed together to make a white blotch surrounded by blue.I can send you all(voodoo brew)some of those to try. I am in the process of moving my daughter
so I will get some out as soon as I locate them. I have had a few revert back to a standard blue /w bee lines but only a few.
I have this plant in my garden, or I had. It is a very hot time for rooting plants. I have not been watering anything because of my lack of water. Maybe after the drought breaks I will start rooting some. Right now nothing is blooming or making seed . Rough year in this drought.
