This lovely beach house, surrounded by over 1/2 acre of private tropical gardens, overlooks the gentle surf of Playa Cofresi on the North Shore of the Dominican Republic. Villa Del Caribe is the only private beach-front villa in Playa Cofresi and has wonderful large verandas on two floors which are ideal for parties or simply relaxing with a good book and some rum. You will enjoy our large private swimming pool and thatch-roof cabana in the back yard as well as our smaller sitting pool for non-swimmers or those who prefer to lounge in the water (often with a drink!). Of course, our staff will cook, clean (and do laundry), and take care of Villa del Caribe, so you do not have to worry about . . . anything!
Playa Cofresi plays host to many international visitors. This area offers a wonderful place to relax among a mix of friendly Dominican citizens as well as North American and European tourists and ex-patriots. There are also great restaurants within walking distance.
Our Private Tropical Gardens: Villa Del Caribe is surrounded by over 1/2 acre of private tropical gardens. Take a peaceful stroll around the pool and enjoy the colorful bougainvillea, orchids and other colorful flowers and ferns. In the front of the house, you can relax in the shade of coconut palm, almond and mango trees, or walk over to enjoy the sun-drenched 'Island Garden' in the front of the property.
More About Playa Cofresi: Playa Cofresi is a wonderful place for those who want a relaxing Dominican experience, but aren't interested in (or are tired of) the all-inclusive scene. Just walk along the beach, and you'll see and meet a wide range of people, all of whom are enjoying simply being at Cofresi. Tourists from the US and Europe mingle easily with Dominicans. On the beach, language is not a barrier -- a simple 'Hola!' and a smile are all that is needed.
There is also a thriving (and often quirky) community of expats who have washed up on the shores of Cofresi. Most of them have come from the US, Canada, Germany and the UK. Just pull up a seat at Chris & Mady's bar, or the bar at the Beach House restaurant and strike up a conversation. Everyone has a story that they are happy to share over a Margarita or a Rum & Coke. In no time at all, it will be easy to think that you're in the middle of a Jimmy Buffet song!
Beach Reading 'Library': We've stocked our home with a large number of books that are great for reading on the beach or by the pool. And we've also included a lot of books for the kids, too -- from bedtime stories for the little ones to books that the teens will enjoy. Take a good look around when you are there -- we've tucked them into various corners, shelves and niches. You should be able to find something interesting.
And speaking of interesting: Don't worry about being half-way through a great story when it is time to leave. If the book is too good to put down, please feel free to take it with you and read on way home. And if you've brought a book with you that you've finished, you can leave it at the house for another guest to enjoy.
We just returned from a work/pleasure retreat in this amazing villa. There were five of us in total. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious. The condition of everything was fantastic. We had a great space to come together in one of the living rooms to work, plugging in our laptops to the flat screen tv via hdmi cable, but also room to get away and have solitude. There are multiple decks, plus three sitting areas by the pool. It is not an exaggeration to say 20 people could have a quiet place to read all at the same time. The beach is literally across a quiet road and the water was fantastic! There is no need to leave the house/pool/beach if you don't want to, even though there are some great adventure activities nearby (we did a waterfall rappelling tour which was amazing). What set the place apart, though, was the service. We had three daily meals prepared by Francesca, who, along with her sister, is a phenomenal cook with a lot of versatility. If you stay here, you'd be crazy not to have them take care of your meals. Plus, they cleaned the place daily and definitely spoiled us. This place is a gem and I can't recommend it highly enough. We hope to be back!
I arrived here for the first time in the Dominican Republic, but I have travelled all over the carribean. This is my second time to rent a villa, but first in the DR. This villa was amazing. The house was every bit as nice as advertised, and the staff was top notch. May not seem important if you haven't done this before, but the screens on all the windows and doors were very important to keep the Mosquitos out and the fun in. Francesca was awesome at cooking our meals and making a perfect smoothie at all times of the day for my wife and daughter. Moreno took care of the pool and maintenance and even helped me get to a baseball game, he was awesome as well. Juan was our night watchman who never misses a beat. This owner was not only responsive, but even sent us detailed directions from the airport to the house, as well as info on all excursions, etc. I will definitely return for another amazing vacation.
We Came Back!! Villa del Caribe has been declared as my birthday spot!! Thanks go out to the entire staff for an exceptional job in making my return birthday trip sooooo special!! THANKS!! I did not think the trip could exceed my first visit last year, but it did. I had surprise visits from family members and that just added to the celebration and the staff made everyone so comfortable on short notice, THANKS Mark & Chris for sharing your awesome villa and staff! We are making plans to return for my 2013 birthday bash!! Pat, Friends & Family
Once I booked our vacation in February, I was anxiously awaiting the day we would arrive. Greeted by the house manager and staff, I immediately knew from their warm greeting that THIS was going to be incredible. Traveling with me was my husband, our 18 yr old daughter & her boyfriend, our 15 yr old daughter and her best friend, and our 11 yr old son & his friend...The kids divvied up the upper floor of the house and my husband & I had the first floor to ourselves... honestly, I NEVER walked up the steps again after our first 5 minutes there. Our family travels quite a bit and stay at luxury resorts world wide, but the charm of NOT being in a busy touristy area was what appealled to me most. This vacation was taken to relax and unwind and that is exactly what we did. We woke to beautiful breakfasts and the pool had already been attended to... the smells that were created by our cooks were worth millions... absolutely incredible food, for every meal. We relaxed in our pool, strolled on the beach and took several excusions during the week. The jeep tour was great seeing the countryside, but the long walk on very rocky ground to see 27 waterfalls was a bit much.. horseback riding on the beach for the kids *LOVED IT*, dune buggies on the beach *LOVED IT*, chartered a private boat for fishing, ehh.. thumbs down... they trolled, which means the staff baited and set your hook and you just rode on the boat.. didnt get to touch the rod unless a fish was on it.. which for our 500 spent, they got one fish [the upside was our housekeeper cleaned and cooked it, it was incredible], a day at Paradise Island *BEAUTIFUL & LOVED IT*... I think the BEST part was it was completely our schedule for whatever tickled our fancy the entire TEN days we spent there. The home was gorgeous, the views priceless. This was probably one of the best trips of my life. I will be returning very soon to the Dominican. I found the people to be warm and very humble. Every evening we made a dinner plate for our watchman, which he truly appreciated. any leftovers from our meals we gave to the staff the next day. They were so genuinely appreciative for our generosity. This is a vacation that I hope will stay forever with my children. It was remarkable.
The most wonderful vacation that we have ever taken! From the minute we stepped off the plane in the Dominican Republic (two hrs late) we were welcomed by our wonderful driver waiting to bring us to our villa. We enjoyed the ride to the villa as he explained local points of interest along the way. He even stopped at a local market and bought us all a local cerveza. As we arrived at our villa we were welcomed by a wonderful staff. Gambino gave us our tour of this wonderful villa and we found it to be even more beautiful then the pictures on the website. Francesca amazed us with wonderful meals everyday which included local Dominican fare which we requested. She took care of every need we could ever have and really made our stay delightful. Moreno took wonderful care of the pool and grounds with it's beautiful tropical gardens and was even our grill cook our last night there. He was ready to help us with anything including cutting down some coconuts from the tree's on the property which Francesca made into some delicious pina coladas. Juan watched the property at night and even walked us to the local restaurants. Gus was extremely helpful in giving us all the information we needed to plan our daily activities, including a wonderful snorkeling trip on board a 72' Catamaran called the Party Cat. We also were able to take the sky cab up to Puerto Plata's highest mountain, and visit the local Amber factory, and the cigar factory as well as a city tour and shopping at some local shop. We enjoyed dinner right on the water and more fun at the local Casino which was a few blocks walk from our villa. My favorite time was waking up every morning and walking out on the veranda to look at the beautiful ocean directly in front of the villa. The only negative was the fact that we could not stay one more week. We will forever remember the wonderful staff of Villa Del Caribe and the wonderful welcoming people of the Dominican Republic for making this the most memorable vacation we have ever had. Thank you Mark and Chris. John and Lynn Pendergast
You know the game, pictures always look so good. Well this home exceeds your expectations and is much better than any pictures can capture. Never before have my husband Bill and I been so relaxed and pampered! No sleepless nights here, the beds are perfect, the ensuite bathrooms are perfect, the air conditioning in the bedrooms are quite, cold and need I say, PERFECT! Francisca cooked whatever we had a whim for and kept the house clean, comfortable and cheerfull. Moreno kept the fabulous pool clean and ready to go. He even cut us coconuts and mangos (the sweetest you'll ever eat) from the trees on the property. As an avid gardner myself, I can fully appreciate the time, effort and expense spent making the grounds of this lovely Villa TRUELY beautiful. Moreno was always busy (with a smile on his face) tending the plants and grounds and pool. If you want perfection, relaxation and pampering, come to Villa De Caribe. The second week we spent at the "Villa" we never went any further than the pool! No reason to, perfection was here! Thank you Chris and Mark for all you kindness and assistance in making our long awaited vacation a dream come true. We recieved value way above the cost of this home for two weeks. It wasnt long enough! Hopefully we will be able to return to Villa De Caribe next year. We are already making plans for a family get together and this would be the perfect place.
Cofresi Beach, named after a famous pirate, is about 4.5 km west of Puerto Plata. The coral sand at the beach is cool on the feet and soft to the touch. On one end of the mile long beach are rocks and coral that invite snorkelers. There are usually breakers for body surfing in some areas but the rest is just right for wading. There are no rip tides, no dangerous under tows and no jelly fish at Cofresi. Quaint Dominican souvenir kiosks and nice restaurants are set along the beach area but you will not be hassled by hawkers on the beach itself. After the sun goes down, the nightlife picks up, with musical shows, discos and a casino all just a short walk away.

Gold Coast United coach Miron Bleiberg was left sitting on the fence following his sideтАЩs 0-0 draw with Perth Glory last night.
Despite being a goalless draw, the match had plenty of chances with both sides getting the scoring opportunities to clinch a win.
In that regard, Bleiberg was happy to come away with a point even though he felt his players played well enough to extract all three.
тАЬItтАЩs one of those games that leaves you disappointed not to win, but also a bit relieved that you didnтАЩt lose 1-0 to the opposition because you see that happen often in games like this,тАЭ said Bleiberg after the match.
тАЬPerth have enough quality to have stolen a goal for themselves and we did have the odd scary moment.
тАЬI thought we did enough to deserve the win but it wasnтАЩt to be and now the fight for second place on the ladder is going to be a hell of a fight.тАЭ

Mitt Romney's loss creates GOP leadership vacuum
All that created a leadership vacuum that helped give rise to the tea party movement in 2009 and sparked rounds of internal battles between party pragmatists and more extreme conservatives.
Republican strategist Phil Musser is among those suggesting that the current void presents a breakout opportunity for the party chairman, Reince Priebus. The 40-year-old Midwesterner largely played a supporting administrative role in his first two years on the job.
"To some degree it's a challenge in as much you don't have a standard bearer to rally behind that unifies central themes of the conservative movement," Musser said. "The bottom line is that a little bit of messiness and frank family discussion is not a terrible thing after an election like this."
But Democrats are emboldened, both by their Election Day successes and the subsequent Republican discord.
GOP factions are fighting over multiple issues: the "fiscal cliff," which will dominate the debate on Capitol Hill at least through the end of the year; blame for Romney's defeat; and how to appeal to a shifting and more diverse electorate and unify its message.
The party's most passionate voters are reluctant to abandon hard-line immigration policies that have dominated their thinking for years. But Washington-based strategists describe a dire need to win over more Hispanic voters and other minorities who overwhelmingly supported Obama in the swing states that decided the election.
At the same time, rank-and-file Republicans on Capitol Hill are struggling to coalesce behind a single message during fiscal cliff negotiations that have exposed a new rift with fiscal conservative guru Grover Norquist and his anti-tax pledge.
There's also evidence that the fight isn't over between the conservative and pragmatic wings of the party in Senate primaries.
Conservatives wasted little time signaling that they would work to defeat Shelley Moore Capito, a popular congresswoman from a storied West Virginia political family, as she seeks the nomination for the chance to challenge Democratic Sen. Jay Rockefeller in 2014. Within an hour of Capito's announcing her candidacy, the deep-pocketed conservative Club for Growth branded her as the "establishment candidate" whose record in Congress of supporting prominent bailouts has led to bigger government.
Democrats already are working to exploit the GOP divisions to strengthen their own political standing.
Obama has taken his party's message directly to voters. He visited a Pennsylvania toy manufacturer on Friday, calling for Republicans to embrace the immediate extension of tax cuts for all but the top 2 percent of wealthiest Americans.
Though Boehner has taken the lead in negotiations with the White House, Republicans generally did not have a standard-bearer to counter that message. Instead, they're relying on familiar Capitol Hill leaders to guide party doctrine during his debate.
"We don't have one person out there carrying that torch. You'll have (South Carolina Sen.) Lindsey Graham, Speaker Boehner, (Wisconsin Rep.) Paul Ryan, John McCain - same old, same old," said Republican strategist Hogan Gidley, a senior official on former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum's unsuccessful presidential bid. "Void of a singular leader, we're going to have to rely on some of the younger more dynamic speakers to go out and make our argument."

These are the central questions in the project "Clockwork Green". Transgenic tobacco plants will be used whose biological clocks no longer work, because one of the many "clock genes", such as NaTOC1, has been silenced. These plants will be released in their natural habitat, the Great Basin Desert in Utah, USA, where they will grow together with wild and unmodified tobacco plants. All stages of plant development from germination to seed formation in the flowers will be studied. In addition, different ecological parameters, such as the intensity of infestation by herbivores and microbial pathogens, will be defined and the behavior of pollinators will be observed. Simultaneously, genetic, metabolic and physiological measurements will be conducted in "rhythmic" and "arrhythmic" plants.
The results will offer valuable clues to which genes are regulated by the biological clock and which are required for optimal plant growth and development. It is possible that different genes take over vital functions depending on the stage of life (germination leaf development flower formation pollination seed filling). The "timing" of plant growth plays an important role in agriculture for example for synchronized seed germination or flowering in grains and oilseeds. Therefore the project may produce interesting results with applications in agriculture.

City Council to vote Tuesday on sewer use fees increase
Omahans could pay much more in sewer use fees if a proposal before the City Council is approved Tuesday.
The City Council is scheduled to vote on the sewer use fees increase at Tuesday's meeting. Currently, the average residential customer's bill is $35.26 a month. It would increase to $39.67 next year, and then to more than 51 dollars in 2018.
After 2018, rates could increase 9 percent a year.
The sewer use fees increase is proposed in conjunction with the combined sewer overflow project. It'll cost the city of Omaha $2 billion over 20 years to complete the project. Completion is scheduled for 2027.
The Omaha City Council meets at 2 pm Tuesday.

My average was like 1 file every 2 or 3 months, but i decided the last month to dedicate more time to graphicriver and my average now is like 4 files per month. My goal is to upload 3 files per week.
What about you guys?
I want three or more files per week, but time, idea, limit my, so my goal is not quantity, is the quality of work.
My principal is 1 file / day but i dont want to upload trash so… its gonna be hard
My average is 1 file per week, goal is 2 – 3 (decently designed) files per week.
I go through waves of motivation coupled with managing my time on other projects, probably averages one every 2 weeks
My average is about one submitted file per 2 weeks. Trying to inspire myself to get more ideas pumping in..
Anyhow, QUALITY is a must to have
My average is 2 files per week. Goal is 15-20… sales per day. Yes, it may seem funny but there is no goal (for me) in having "lots of items". Quality over quantity. And sales. Sales.
'Quality over quantity' / i agree
When I started I've set my goal to have 60 items, so I worked hard to get 3 or 4 files per week, now that I've achieved the result, I'm uploading usually 1 or 2 files per week.
Also I'm trying to get files in all categories, like my recent flyer and the power point presentation idea I have in mind
I don't upload files often so 1 file every 2-3 months I guess.
Yes I admit,I'm lazy

Genre: Novel
Author: Dinaw Mengestu
Title: All Our Names, 2014
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf,
Format: Hardcover
Synopsis: Dinaw Mengestu begins his novel with…."When Isaac and I met…." This statement is the primary truth of the novel. The African "I" of this book is an aspiring revolutionary, but he is in reality simply a lost boy. He is lucky to meet a kindred spirit named Isaac. These two, young men are tragically entwined in pursuit of an identity and a place to belong. Their chosen place of refuge is the university. At this venue, they can attempt to 'fit in' and camouflage their identity and social and economic poverty. It is a time revolution in the idealistic 1970's. At first, the two men 'dream-up,' contrived identities as revolutionaries engaging in political anarchy. The young men later befriend fellow comrades on the campus. In truth, the only revolt that the young men are involved in is the one against the poverty and the anonymity which bridles them from being real students. They are poor boys estranged from a society that negates their dreams and existence. Later, the fantasy of being revolutionaries becomes real. Danger beckons at the door and Isaac senses that the outcome will not be good. A love affair with an American foreigner saves Isaac's friend. He can go to America. But the one who is left behind is the tragic hero that surrenders his emotional hold to let his friend go. Isaac arranges the escape of his friend from their mutual fantasy to the reality of a safe haven. This is the true revolution that both men aspire to. But, only one achieves it through the sacrifice of another. Readers must read this book with the awareness that current events in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia are a part of the story-line.
Critique: This is a haunting work. All Our Names provides insight into the youth of the Arab Spring. This setting of this book is in Africa, but the revolt is spreading across The Third World. The author, Dinaw Mengestu, has created a symbolic work about the hunger and desire of a generation past. The fight for liberation, however, continues. The main characters, in this novel, progress from innocents to activists. The loss of innocence is slow and brutal. Yet, the desire and struggle to retain some of their initial virginity is fought for by the sacrificing member of the group. Isaac knows that the outcome of their actions will not be good. Today's youth in The Third World, America, and England are facing anonymity. Governments will not acknowledge their plight. There are no jobs…. no means of acquiring independence through home ownership.... and a university education is far too expensive. The youth feel that their voices are quelled in favor of the elders. Mengestu captures the futility and the frustration of today's youth in a novel about a similar, older generation. Is he warning us? I hope so.

Pretoria - Vodacom Bulls
lock Juandré Kruger did not extend his contract with the Blue Bulls Company
(Pty) Ltd beyond the 2013 Vodacom Super Rugby season and will leave the Bulls to join up with French club Racing Metro 92.
Kruger made
his debut for the Springboks this year and played in eight Tests following an
impressive Super Rugby debut for the Bulls. His contract with the BBC
runs out in June 2013 and although the Bulls could secure his services until the end of the competition, the 27-year-old opted for the move to Paris
after that.
Bulls coach Frans Ludeke said they understand the reasons why Kruger decided to
"It is always
good to know and to hear that your players are wanted all over the world, but
unfortunately it is not always possible to hold on to them once those offers
start coming in," Ludeke said.
"With the
exchange rate as it is at the moment, it is very difficult to remain on level
terms with those clubs when it comes to contract talks. We were very keen to
extend his contract, but financially it was just not possible. We are very
happy for Juandrè, as it is a great offer he received, but that left us in an
unfortunate position that we could not match it."
Ludeke has no
problem with Kruger's continued commitment to the Bulls in 2013.
"Not at all. Juandré is a real pro and I know we can still expect a 110% effort from him. We
sat down as a group recently to discuss our goals and objectives for 2013 and I
am very confident that we will get an exceptional contribution from Juandré
right till the last game of our season."

Yep, you took too long. Feel the iron-fisted wrath of persimmons!!! *KERPLOW!!!!*
I do the neglect-my-yoga-practice type of yoga, mostly. When I'm taking a break from that, it's vinyasa/power yoga ish, usually. I might just do some before bed because I'm thinking about it! Do you do yoga?
hey girl, i had a few off moments but it's ok i'm back on it now. It may tale awhile but i'm ready to fight this battle to a better living.I just keep positive thoughts. Hbu?
Hey Kim! What are you doing for Thanksgiving? So far I have gone to a yoga class, am eating guavas, and making raw dinner for the fam later.
Thanks for the comment Kim!
I like your music too, it takes me back =D
hey there! thanks for the add, i hope you had a great day and are havin a even greater week!
I'm well :) Hope you are too!
Romance ftw. I love glee! :D Rachel x Finn! I've been a vegetarian for 6 years,but I started Raw Vegan 5 months ago.^u^ I've been slipping when it comes to sweet foods,cake especially. ^_^ What about you?
I am great! By the way my name is Jon, Thanks for accepting my request =) How are you? How do you like 811?
hey! im doing better! went through a rough patch on this lifestyle but now im back at it and ready to feel the best i can! how are u liking 811? :)
I personally love animes that have action and drama. Full metal alchemist is at the top of my list of favorite animes of all time.: ) What about you?^_^
aww thanks! you seem pretty awesome, yourself!! :)
How's the fruity life going?
I'm good. Things have been kind of up and down for me lately as I've had to eat steamed rice and crackers... and some other imitation food of which I wish not to mention :(
:D Any time! You have such a catchy song on your profile page! Couldn't resist adding a fellow Card Captor fan. Also,I'm great! Thanks for asking,I'm looking for a classy anime to watch,any suggestions?
Nice to meeting you lil gal!:)
hey girl, sorry for replying so late. Today wasn't so good for me but that's ok i'm just gonna keep going. But thanks for the advice. I'm just gonna stay strong with my prayers and let God take care of the rest. I really want to detox fast but I feel as long as i'm living in my home I can't because I don't want my mom to think i'm killing myself with fruit...how sad is that? smh she just doesn't understand. i'm really working on getting a full time job since now i'm done with school. it's time to be on my own so i can live life the way i NEED to. but How are you and how is your weekend going?
Well I tried it for two weeks in October but I was experiencing some very strong detox symptoms so I'm going to start again when school the semester ends. What about you ? HOw long have you been on this Raw Vegan Diet? :)
Awww. Traveling is the best alone, believe me. Once you're a free bird you can save up and go wherever you please, it will be absolutely amazing! You can do whatever you want and make a completely new group of friends wherever you go :D.
But to really experience a country its great to get incorporated into it, like taking some classes there or living with a host family or in a dorm of some sort. You learn so much more and make so many more friends, and believe me, if you travel alone like the stereotypical tourist, no matter how many people there are around you, it's just lonely and awkward.
I haven't actually traveled raw, I was raw several months back and then I went to canada for 5 weeks to study and I had barely any money so I ate the cafeteria food, mostly salads and stuffs... it was dreadful. But now I am more aware, and thinking about bringing kilos of dried fruit with my wherever I go, like dates, figs, apricots and the like. Usually I go where my parents go, which many times I get some say in. It's really cool. How many years do you have before college?
Hi Kim! :) Thanks for the add! Hope all is going well... <3

We are encouraging small tree farmers, individuals, land owners whom have open and unproductive parcels to plant these trees. These can grow an average of 30% faster than our local falcata varieties which would mean an earlier return of investments for the planted trees. Maximizing the value of land in tree farming could fully be achieved using commercial trees while planting agricultural crops at the same time in the same parcel of land. Do not waste time while you still can. Contact us now - Caraga Farmers and Environmental Developers at 09184845076 (Regie Ortega) and/or 09216230401 (Oscar Casinillo).

|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
Well-designed interfaces use procedural and sensory cues to increase the salience of appropriate actions and intentions. However, empirical studies suggest that cognitive load can influence the strength of procedural and sensory cues. We formalise the relationship between salience and cognitive load revealed by empirical data. We add these rules to our abstract cognitive architecture developed for the verification of usability properties. The interface of a fire engine dispatch task used in the empirical studies is then formally verified to assess the salience and load rules. Finally, we discuss how the formal modelling and verification suggests further refinements of the rules derived from the informal analysis of empirical data. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Bolaño's writing is often ugly. Was it a challenge to re-create some of the more tangled, self-consciously wooden passages? Yes, very much so. The translator's inclination is to smooth things over and make passages read seamlessly, so it's a counterintuitive process. After translating certain lines, I had to actively restrain myself from prettying them up.
Exhausted 2666 readers like myself might hope you're presently on a well-deserved vacation. I'm not working on a book-length project, but I'm not exactly on vacation. I had planned to take some time off, but little projects keep cropping up, and I have an 11-month-old daughter, which is consuming in itself. Meanwhile, though, I'm realizing now how much I learned from translating The Savage Detectives and 2666, and I'm eager to test myself on the next book, whatever it is.More with Natasha Wimmer here.

|Without a win at home vs. Marquette tonight, West Virginia could be on the outside looking in for the Big Dance. (US Presswire)
This week doesn't feature too many marquee matchups, or ranked teams played other ranked teams, but it's a prove-it week for bubble teams. Wednesday is slightly different, as many teams simply have to avoid bad losses.
Note: All times are Eastern, and the rankings are according to the AP poll.
Best game: No. 10 Marquette at West Virginia (9 p.m., ESPN). This is a must-win game for West Virginia, which has lost six of its last eight games. A victory would get the Mountaineers back to .500 in the Big East, and would add a quality win. Meanwhile, Marquette is in the running for second-place in the conference. The key in this game will be the Golden Eagles' defensive rebounding against Kevin Jones and West Virginia's offense rebounding. Moreover, can the Mountaineers keep up with Marquette when it forcing turnovers and running the floor?
Second-best game: Fairfield at Iona (9 p.m., ESPNU). If you had asked us back in January if Fairfield would be in position to forge a tie for first place with a win on Friday night, we would have looked at you pretty strangely. The Stags have won seven MAAC games in a row, with the last loss coming at home to Iona. Iona has a one-game lead on Fairfield and Loyola (Md.), but gets two home games to finish the season. The pace of this game will be a factor, as Iona wants to speed things up. Scott Machado vs. Derek Needham should be fun.
Another one to watch: Butler at Valparaiso (7 p.m., ESPNU). Valparaiso has already clinched the regular-season title, but the favorite heading into the conference tournament could be Butler. The Bulldogs have won five in a row to move to 11-6 in the league, and could finish in second. Butler has been playing very solid defensively, but it will need to defend the 3-point line and avoid silly fouls. Moreover, it needs to hit outside shots.
Guaranteed win: Manhattan has lost three of its last four conference games to drop to fourth place in the standings, but the Jaspers have a nice bounceback game tonight against Canisius (7 p.m.). Canisius is 1-15 in MAAC play and lost by 12 to Manhattan the last time the two teams played. With the way Manhattan plays defense, this one could get out of hand in a hurry.
Potential upset: Loyola (Md.) blew its chance to get a stranglehold on the league by losing two in a row after taking over first place, but the Greyhounds are still in the hunt for a title. However, they have to travel to Rider tonight (7 p.m., ESPN2). The Brocs are 5-2 at home in the conference, and they shoot the 3 as well as any team in the league.
Three things to keep an eye on:
- Harvard looks for revenge against the only team to beat it in the Ivy this season, Princeton (7 p.m.). A home sweep this weekend would put the Crimson in good position to win the automatic bid.
- Idaho probably won't score 115 points like New Mexico State did on Thursday, but the Vandals need to win at Utah State to keep pace for second-place in the WAC (9:05 p.m., ESPN3).
- The race is on for second-place in the Ivy League, and a win by Penn at Dartmouth (7 p.m.) would give the Quakers a chance to tie for first on Saturday at Harvard. Yale also hosts Columbia (7 p.m.).

A Miami Beach tech company invited Mayor Philip Levine to their lab for a visit this week in response to comments Levine made at the U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting last month. Levine said he could not see Miami Beach becoming a tech hub.
"It's the dumbest idea in the world," Levine said at the Mayors meeting, according to the Washington Post. "People cling on to things that are not the highest and best use for their city. Miami Beach is never going to be a high tech hub. As much as it sounds great, it's sexy, that's not who we are."
Days after Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine was quoted in the Washington Post saying his city would never become a tech hub, a small-business group released a report that says entrepreneurs are attracted to the Miami area.

Since the financial crisis hit five years ago, there aren't as many Americans starting new businesses. In uncertain economic times, it's harder for entrepreneurs and investors to take the risk.
And if you look back over the past 25 years, it turns out the overall trend is toward fewer new businesses getting started, too — and that's not good at all when the country needs more jobs.

In an alley in Northeast Washington, D.C., hundreds of pounds of produce are piled haphazardly on pallets. Mexican Fruits, a discount grocer, can't sell the fruit and vegetables inside these boxes because the food has gone soft or is lightly bruised. Some will be donated, but most boxes are destined for a large, green Dumpster nearby.
What does an app born from the spirit of Miami look like?
It looks like Sktchy, a start up mobile app motivated by Sketchy Miami, a blog and series of parties spotted around town two years ago where the goal was to create a portrait of every person in Miami.
Sketchy Miami comes from a time when "a burgeoning artist community in Miami and the average Miami resident had very little interaction with that community," said co-founder Jordan Melnick. He wondered, "how can we come up with a way to bridge that gap?"
The rising costs of commercial real estate throughout Miami-Dade County means fewer choices for would-be independent retailers. See, for instance, the full mall-ification of Lincoln Road, and the sweep of new high-end luxury retail through the Design District. Small-business proprietors are even starting to move out of Wynwood's main drag; punky street fashion boutique the Kult, to name one, recently closed up shop off NW 2nd Ave.
Miami Club Rum, located in the heart of Wynwood, was launched in November of 2012. Owner and operator Matt Malone's family comes from a long history of rum making: his children are the sixth generation of rum makers in a tradition that dates back to the 1800's. So, after his grandfather-in-law passed away, Malone decided to bring the family tradition from Puerto Rico to Miami.
Many U.S. cities are competing to bring biotech companies and jobs to their communities, places like Phoenix, Buffalo, Gainesville and of course, Miami.
They all want to develop an industry cluster, and while cities like San Diego and Boston have already successfully grown theirs, Miami's efforts are still somewhat nascent.
The suburban Broward County town of Coral Springs has big plans to attract artists. In January 2014 it will open a high-tech workspace for artists and creators to work with a gamut of equipment, including 3D software tools, iPads, and the latest computers.
The 1,000-square-foot facility is part of the cities' "Tech Walk," incubator that will house a series of tech and healthcare startups located in The Walk, a public plaza off University Drive.
Originally published on Tue June 18, 2013 6:18 pm
In the past decade, Mexico's tech industry has flourished, growing three times faster than the global average. Most of that growth has been fueled by demand from the United States. But as Mexico's startups strive to make it in foreign markets, they say they need more engineers and ways to finance their growth.
When Andrés Moreno, the chief executive officer of Open English gets off the plane in Bogotá, São Paolo, Caracas or pretty much any other major Latin American city, people who recognize him from the company's TV ads stop to ask for photos and autographs.
So why, with all this notoriety, did the CEO of a $350 million dollar company that specializes in teaching English online to Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking students move the company's main office from Latin America to Miami three years ago?
Miami may have an emerging start-up culture but it definitely does not have much of a publishing culture.
For Bookigee, a Miami-based startup looking to help authors market their own books, that absence has brought attention to the company. But its founders say there have also been real challenges in reaching the rest of the industry and much-needed capital from South Florida.
On the second story of the posh Albion Hotel on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach sit the U.S. offices of Animal Politico, an online news site dedicated to Mexican politics that is quickly becoming one of the most respected—and hip—news sources in Latin America.
Founded in 2009 as an anonymous Twitter account called "PajaroPolitico," or "Political Bird," Animal Politico has quickly emerged as a must-read news source among Mexican youth.
As classmates at Ransom Everglades School in Coconut Grove, Wifredo Fernandez and Daniel Lafuente were "always cooking up ideas for businesses" that the pair dreamed of launching.
When Google takes an interest in journalism education, we are happy to help.
This summer, Google is launching the Google Journalism Fellowship, recognizing that behind many blue links on Google "is a journalist and that quality journalism is a key ingredient of a vibrant and functioning society." The eight fellows started off with a week-long visit to Miami, hosted by Knight Foundation.

Sundown: Anne Frank Site Burns
Britney Spears' imagined conversion diary, and more
• A "suspicious" fire destroyed the barracks in which Anne Frank slept in a Dutch work camp before her transfer to Auschwitz. The barracks, most recently used to store farm equipment, was ready for transport back to the site of the work camp, which now contains a Holocaust memorial. [JTA]
• With the news that Britney Spears is considering converting to Judaism for her new boyfriend, Jason Trawick, The New Yorker imagines her "conversion diary". "Got verklempt last night with Jason when I told him how close I was to joining his tribe and all. Felt kinda guilty that my spiritual journey has been so easy, what with my already being mostly Jewish, but then Jason explained that feeling guilty just makes you Jewisher, so it's all good." [NYer]
• The golf course at Long Island's Woodmere Club contains hundreds of old Jewish gravestones along its shore with Reynolds Channel. [NY Post]
• Adam Yauch, one-third of the (three-thirds Jewish) Beastie Boys, announced via candid YouTube the "pretty heavy news" that he has cancer in a lymph node. "This is something that's very treatable and in most cases it's, um, they're able to completely get rid of it," he says. [ArtsBeat]
• Mongolian neo-Nazis have co-opted Nazi imagery, rhetoric, and racial philosophy in the service of Mongolian nationalism and anti-Chinese sentiment. [Time]
• And as we commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the moon landing, it's fascinating to remember that the Lubavitcher Rebbe believed that space exploration and scientific discovery generally served to buttress the Torah's teachings by throwing previously-held scientific consensus into increased doubt.

MLB Betting News and Notes Saturday, April 26
Saturday's MLB Betting Cheat Sheet
By Covers.com
Texas-sized problems
Mariners right-hander Felix Hernandez is widely considered one of the top pitchers in the American League, but the Texas Rangers may disagree. Hernandez is just 12-20 with a 4.10 ERA in 40 starts versus the Rangers, who are a +166 underdog against Hernandez and the host Mariners.
DC tough on Cashner
Andrew Cashner hasn't had problems exerting his dominance this season, but past history suggests he may be in for a rough ride this weekend. Cashner and the San Diego Padres are a +108 dog at Nationals Park, where the 27 year old has a 9.53 ERA in four career appearances.
Cruz control
The Kansas City Royals know they'll need to shut down Baltimore slugger Nelson Cruz if they hope to beat the Orioles. Kansas City (+126) will rely Saturday on veteran right-hander Jeremy Guthrie, who has limited Cruz to four hits in 19 career at-bats against him.
Pitching notes
* Members of the Los Angeles Dodgers roster are hitting .322 in 90 at-bats against Colorado Rockies right-hander Juan Nicasio.
* Philadelphia Phillies lefty Cliff Lee has 31 strikeouts against only one walk in his last three starts.
Hitting notes
* Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Pedro Alvarez batted just .184 with 23 strikeouts in 76 at-bats against the St. Louis Cardinals last season.
* Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton entered Friday in a 2-for-18 slump with nine strikeouts over his past five games.
Total streaks
San Diego Padres (0-8-2 O/U): The combination of solid pitching, a non-existent offense and a cavernous, unforgiving ballpark has the Padres riding high - or in this case, low - as the league's top Under team.
Injury Watch
* San Diego Padres third baseman Chase Headley (strained hamstring) is expected to miss the next 2-to-3 weeks.
* Oakland Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes (hamstring) is expected to be out until at least Sunday.
* Texas Rangers third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff (stiff back) is considered day-to-day.
Weather watch
* Fans attending the San Diego-Washington game at Nationals Park should expect a 30 percent chance of showers.
* Rain is also a possibility at Citi Field, where a 40 percent chance of showers is forecast with temperatures in the low-to-mid-60s.
Hot and cold betting trends
* Angels at Yankees: Over is 4-1 in New York's last five games against a left-handed starter.
* Rockies at Dodgers: Under is 5-1 in Nicasio's previous six starts against Los Angeles.
* Red Sox at Blue Jays: Over is 11-0 in Toronto right-hander Brandon Morrow's last 11 starts.
Stat of the Day
Boston right-hander Clay Buchholz is 7-2 with a 1.49 ERA in 10 starts at the Rogers Centre. The Red Sox have won his last eight starts there.

Game of the Day: Angels at Yankees
By Covers.com
Los Angeles Angels at New York Yankees (-109, 9)
Coming off a disappointing 2013 season, Albert Pujols has been anything but a letdown so far in 2014. The Los Angeles Angels' slugger aims to become the first player to reach double-digit home runs on the season when he takes on the New York Yankees on Saturday afternoon. Pujols' ninth homer was one of four hit by Los Angeles in Friday's 13-1 triumph in the opener of the three-game series.
Pujols has never faced Yankees starter Vidal Nuno, nor has any current member of the Angels. Nuno will be making just his fifth career start and his second of the season, but he is coming off a scoreless outing last Sunday against Tampa Bay. Los Angeles will give the ball to Hector Santiago, who is 0-3 due in large part to the dreadful run support he has received over the season's first month.
LINE HISTORY: The Yankees opened as -109 home faves. The total opened at 9.
COVERS POWER RANKINGS: Angels (-151), Yankees (-186)
INJURY REPORT: Los Angeles: OF Kole Calhoun - out (ankle), OF Josh Hamilton - out (thumb). New York: C Francisco Cervelli - out (hamstring).
WHAT SHARPS SAY: "This battle of left-handed starters should favor the Yankees who have been much stronger against southpaws this season. New York is averaging just 3.5 runs per nine innings with a .250 team batting average versus RHP, but average 6.5 runs per nine innings with a .300 team batting average versus LHP this season." Covers' Expert Steve Merril
WHAT BOOKS SAY: "After the Angels routed New York 13-1 on Friday night, we expect the Halos to be a popular play on Saturday. Angels have a slight advantage in starting pitching in this matchup, as Santiago has a respectable 3.68 ERA despite being 0-3 on the season. His opponent, Vidal has a 6.75 ERA in 2014." Mike Perry of Sportsbook.com.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels LH Hector Santiago (0-3, 3.68 ERA) vs. Yankees LH Vidal Nuno (0-0, 6.75)
Santiago has received a total of eight runs of support in his four starts, including Sunday's 2-1 loss to Detroit in which he took the loss despite allowing only two unearned runs over 5 2/3 innings. Control has been an issue for the 26-year-old New Jersey native, who has walked 12 batters in 22 innings, including a season-high five walks against the Tigers. The current Yankees have a collective .310 lifetime average against Santiago, led by Alfonso Soriano (3-for-7, two home runs).
Nuno has made one start and three relief appearances, including a 3 1/3-inning relief outing against Baltimore on April 8 in which he was torched for seven runs and eight hits. He joined the rotation this week when Ivan Nova landed on the disabled list and blanked the Rays over five innings in his first starting nod of 2014. Despite that performance, opponents still are batting .324 against Nuno this season.
* Under is 7-3 in Gibson IIIs last 10 games behind home plate.
* Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
* Angels are 5-0 in their last five vs. American League East.
* Over is 4-1 in Angels last five vs. American League East.
COVERS CONSENSUS: 59 percent of wagers are on the Yankees.

AMES, Iowa - Iowa State redshirt junior wrestler Kyle Simonson, has a lot on his plate this season, at the dinner table and on the mat.* The heavyweight wrestler is 19-4 despite a 220-pound frame that puts him at a weight disadvantage against opponents who weigh up to 285 pounds.
Simonson is inspired.* He competes with Matt Gibson for the heavyweight weight class starting spot every week.* This constant motivation makes both wrestlers ready for their individual matches.* Both work in the wrestling room with 2010 NCAA heavyweight champion Dave Zabriskie, who demonstrated last season that a 220-pound heavyweight can win it all in collegiate wrestling.
?I look at it like I need to work hard every day, not only to win the spot but to make myself better to compete in the Big 12 and with all of the upcoming competition,? Simonson said.
Simonson?s weight is an advantage and a disadvantage against the biggest men in collegiate wrestling.* Simonson knows he has trained with the best coaches, and he has confidence in himself no matter who he wrestles, no matter their size.
*?I do think Simonson uses his size, his length, and his weight as an advantage, and he does win the majority of his matches,? Iowa State head coach Kevin Jackson said.* ?He?s performed at a very high level.* He?s also watched David Zabriskie become a national champion in the very same weight class and about the same weight going into a match.* Simonson understands he can get it done no matter what he weighs.?
Simonson had a big win against No. 2 Ryan Flores of American, helping the Cyclones score a victory against the seventh-rated Eagles in the National Duals on Saturday in Cedar Falls, Iowa.* Simonson and Flores were in the same brackets at Midlands on Dec. 29, so he knew of Flores? abilities.
*?I just knew it was another opportunity for me to go out there and show what I have been working on, and that I can compete with some of the best kids in the nation,? Simonson said.
Simonson demonstrated his potential against Flores, building a big lead before Flores injury defaulted the battle.* The Algona native has a great mindset when he heads to the mat.* Because heavyweight matches are usually low scoring, he does his best to get significant riding time, guaranteeing one more point for his match.
?I just tell myself I have to get the first takedown, and then get away quickly when I go down,? Simonson said.
Simonson has a lot to look forward to in the next few weeks.* Sitting at 19-4, the horizon holds unlimited competitive possibilities over the next two months.* Simonson may well reach his goals of being an All-American and national champion. But his coaches, teammates and fans know they will always get his best effort.

The Scroll Recipe Series: Breakfast Tacos
Starring duck bacon and some homemade salsa
If you're anything like me (and let's hope you're not), I wake up at least twice a week with an insatiable craving for breakfast tacos. Up here in the land of the bagel, breakfast foods served on tortillas have (culturally speaking) seemingly fallen flat, but for
Texans some of us, the breakfast taco is as central to a weekly routine at throwing out the Tuesday Science section of the Times or changing your socks.
Now, to be completely honest, I almost exclusively use pork when I make breakfast tacos. Since you're going to cook the potatoes *yes, there will be potatoes* in the delicious grease left from cooked bacon, there is really no other way to live your life. Or so I thought. Then I decided I would try the dish with duck bacon.
One result was a leaner breakfast taco (to be extra suave, I nixed the cheese too). The other result was that I didn't spend the rest of my day bloated on my couch listening to Morrissey or Ryan Adams.
This is a shockingly easy dish to make, but if you take a few extra steps, you can pass off breakfast tacos as a culinary treasure instead of just something gauche for its own sake.
Here's what you'll need for breakfast tacos for two:
4 large eggs
2 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes
1 large yellow onion
1 large tomato
1 chopped jalapeno (no seeds unless your in-laws are visiting)
1 can of green chiles in sauce (don't be scared)
1 package of tortilla (flour is obviously better)
1 8-oz. package of duck bacon*
*4 oz. for the tacos, 4 oz. to eat while you're making the tacos
Salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder
How you do breakfast tacos:
1. Have a glass of water.
2. Start by dropping the duck bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat. Flip as needed till crisp.
3. While bacon sizzles, crank up the volume on a Vox Tablet podcast.
4. Wash and slice your potatoes in cubes. Dice onion into thin strips. Set aside.
5. Remove bacon from the skillet and layer between paper towels. Leave the grease!
(The bottom bacon layer is for the tacos, the top is to sustain the chef.)
6. Lower the heat to medium. Add the potatoes to the skillet along half of the diced onion. Top with salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne, and mix around to absorb the bacon grease. About 10 minutes.
7. While the potatoes cook, chop your jalapeno and tomato and drop them in a food processor with the remaining onion and the contents of green chiles can (remove the can, unless you're anemic). Turn up Vox Tablet podcast louder. PROCESS INTO SALSA!* Taste. Grin smugly.
*You can also chop everything into salsa, but you won't feel the raw power of liquefying something, a boon to any morning, Also, a shortcut here is to buy a jar of salsa here, but homemade salsa is better for the consistency of the dish and your sense of purpose.
8. Turn on your oven to 200 degrees (FAHRENHEIT!). Wrap tortillas in foil and place in the oven. Set a timer if you're forgetful.
8. Move the potatoes to the edge of the skillet. Drop in most of your salsa, reserving some to top the tacos or to eat later while listening to Morrissey. The salsa should sizzle a little bit, be proud of yourself.
9. Lightly scramble four eggs in a bowl and add them to the reducing salsa. Lower the heat a touch and stir with potatoes and onions until majestic (and not too runny). Add the duck bacon. Text a picture to your vegan friends.
10. Remove the tortillas from the oven and plate them like moons drawing in waves of egg-bacon-potato goodness. Compose the tacos and top with salsa if needed.
11. Call your mother.

text: MASON Since childhood, music has played a large role in Darren Jacksons life. He started with piano lessons, recitals and playing in church as a child. He went on to learn the saxophone in fifth grade, playing with both the concert and marching bands and eventually acting as field commander during his senior year at Wahama High School in Mason. From there, Jackson was invited back to assist with band camp while he was on break each summer from college. He studied music education during his undergraduate degree at Kentucky Christian University and went on to receive his masters degree in music education at Florida State University. Now, after 14 years participating and working with Wahama, Jackson will be working as the new band director of Wahama Junior and Senior High as well as the beginning seeder program at New Haven Elementary. Wahama High School Vice Principal Melissa VanMeter said Jackson was a good candidate for the position because of his extensive background with the school and knowledge of the program.Darren went through the band as a student. Kenny Bond [the current principal] was the director at the time, and I assisted some so I think that experience was a big influence on his decision to go on and study music, VanMeter said. Were glad to see an alumnus come back and take the position, and were looking forward to seeing him continue the traditions, Wahama style, and see him make the program bigger and better.Because of his time in the program and working with the students, Jackson said the transition has been a smooth one.Im really excited about this year; the kids are doing great, Jackson said. The kids really came together for our first performance at the fair. We still have work to do, but Im sure theyre going to do an excellent job.Wahama Marching Band follows the military marching style of six steps to five yards (6 to 5), which was inspired by the marching style of Texas A&M University and implemented by a former band director, which Jackson said he plans to continue.Our marching style is so unique and particular to the school, I feel that its essential to have an alumnus come back to the program, and because I am an alumnus, I see the value in this rich tradition, Jackson said.Jackson said he wants to focus on the Seeder Program at New Haven Elementary and encourage more students to get involved with the band, inspire them to grow and help them continue their development as they move up. At the high school level, he said the marching band already has a strong support system, but he plans to put more emphasis on concert band in increasing the amount and variety of traditional concert band repertoire as well as exploring the possibility of forming a jazz band.Music and other art programs, he said, allow students to step outside of the traditional classroom and see everything in a new way. Music is never the same thing twice it always changes. I feel that music is necessary for all students regardless of whether or not theyre in band. I think its good to be in choir, to study the history of music or be involved with music in some manner, Jackson said.In Jacksons pride at returning to his alma mater, he said he is looking forward to seeing the marching band perform for a large crowd to their first home game verses Trimble High School on September 2, as well as at the Fourth Annual White Falcon Invitational Marching Band Competition on October 1. Im really excited to work under the leadership of Kenny Bond, my former band director and the acting principal, and Melissa VanMeter, the assistant principal, Jackson said. Im really excited for this opportunity and its going to be a great season, so come out and support the band.

I can tell some difference. IMO I would say my .40 cal C's (22C & 23C) shoot more like the non-c .9mm models. I really like what I have now. We've been moving guys to G35's through the dept so I guess I'll have to trade at some point, but don't care for the trade offs.
The other night there was a loud argument in the hall outside my apartment while I was trying to sleep. I went out and told them they better leave or I was gonna use some Kung-Fu... THAT scared them off...
Plus I was totally nekkid and holding a gun.

Daybreak: Purim Costumes Gone Wrong in Brooklyn
Plus Israeli documentaries strike out at the Academy Awards
• Influential Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind is coming under fire for wearing blackface as a part of his Purim costume, you know, a basketball player with an afro. [NYO]
• Amid riots and large protests, over 25,000 Palestinians gathered for the funeral of Arafat Jaradat, a prisoner who died in an Israeli prison over the weekend. Fears of a new intifada continue as unrest grows in the West Bank. [ToI/AP]
• Former New Republic owner Marty Peretz is back and reading President Obama the riot act about the relationship between Israel and the United States. [Daily Beast]
• The much-ballyhooed and much-maligned Israeli or demi-Israeli documentaries "The Gatekeepers" and "Five Broken Cameras" struck out at last night's Academy Awards, losing the award for documentary to "Searching for Sugarman," which was actually pretty good. [JPost]
• Take your pick today: A Greek comedian promoted some of his shows using a logo that enmeshing a swastika with a Star of David [JTA] or a university in Budapest has suspended student council members for allegedly compiling lists of Jewish students and other minorities. [JTA]
