I love Spring fashion and Fashion Week! I am loving the femine 3/4 length sleeve trench coats; such a classic and the 3/4 sleeve gives it a fresh update for spring. I love the bold colors mixed with grays and whites; beautiful contrast. Dresses are also becoming femine and sexy without showing too much skin. Photos of Spring Fashion Week from Alexander Wang and Phillip Lim are inspirations for my style this year.

Akshay Kumar's recently released 'Entertainment' might have snatched away the screens from the record breaking Salman Khan starrer 'Kick' but it definitely has not dampened the film's collections and the euphoria surrounding it.
'Kick' maintained its steady pace on its third Friday and collected in the range of Rs 1.97 crore at the box office. With that, the film's total collection lands at a mammoth Rs 216.97 crore. But the film is expected to show a jump in the weekends.
Although this film has shattered Salman's previous records and has turned out to be his biggest blockbuster, it remains to be seen if 'Kick' can surpass Shah Rukh Khan's 'Chennai Express' anytime soon.

Trevor Plouffe was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with a left oblique injury that he suffered in Saturday's 12-9 loss to the Tigers.
Twins activate Oswaldo Arcia from the disabled list and demote him to Triple-A
May 14, 2014, 5:10 PM EDT
Oswaldo Arcia was Minnesota's starting right fielder when he was shut down with a wrist injury during the first week of the season and now that he's finally healthy six weeks later the Twins have decided to demote him to Triple-A.
Twins acquire Eduardo Nunez from Yankees
Apr 7, 2014, 5:35 PM EDT
Last week the Yankees designated Eduardo Nunez for assignment and now they've traded the utility infielder to the Twins in exchange for Single-A pitching prospect Miguel Sulbaran.
Yankees designate Eduardo Nunez for assignment
Apr 1, 2014, 4:46 PM EDT
Eduardo Nunez, who not so long ago was viewed by many people as the Yankees' heir apparent to Derek Jeter, has been designated for assignment.
Is the Yankees third base job Kelly Johnson's to lose?
Jan 13, 2014, 10:30 AM EDT
Could be. He's certainly a strong candidate, as Bryan Hoch of MLB.com explains in his latest. Hoch notes that Johnson didn't play third base in the bigs until last year, but he did play a little in the minors — and a lot of shortstop in the minors — so it's not totally foreign ground. And,…
Yankees looking at Mark Reynolds, Michael Young
Dec 16, 2013, 7:55 PM EDT
Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that the Yankees are contemplating Mark Reynolds, Michael Young and Brian Roberts as they seek to add to their infield. Reynolds would be a re-signing after finishing last season with the Bombers. He hit .236/.300/.455 with six homers in 36 games with the Yankees and .220/.306/.393 with 21 homers in…
Andy Pettitte pitches the Yankees past the Astros in his final start
Sep 28, 2013, 10:05 PM EDT
Yankees starter Andy Pettitte shut down the Astros tonight in his final start of his career. The left-hander allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five in a complete game effort. The lone Astros run came on a Chris Carter ground out in the fourth inning. Second baseman Robinson Cano…
Alex Rodriguez limited to DH duties due to sore hamstring
Sep 14, 2013, 10:40 AM EDT
Bothered by a sore left hamstring, Alex Rodriguez will make his fourth straight start out of the DH spot this afternoon against the Red Sox. He's nowhere close to 100 percent at the moment, as he had the chance to score the go-ahead run last night on a double by Robinson Cano, but had to…
Derek Jeter is sore, will get a few days off
Sep 8, 2013, 12:43 PM EDT
Derek Jeter was removed from Saturday's loss to the Red Sox with soreness in his surgically-repaired left ankle. A CT scan came back negative, but the veteran shortstop is going to be out for a little while. According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Sunday morning that Jeter's…
Derek Jeter exits with soreness near ankle
Sep 7, 2013, 4:36 PM EDT
When Derek Jeter was pulled for a pinch-runner in the sixth inning Saturday, the hope was the Yankees were just preserving him in a 12-6 game. However, FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reported three innings later that Jeter was taken out due to soreness around the ankle he broke in the postseason last year. Jeter singled in…
What are the Yankees going to do about Derek Jeter?
Sep 6, 2013, 2:25 PM EDT
It was easy to watch Thursday night's Red Sox-Yankees tilt and come to the conclusion that Derek Jeter is done. Hobbling around on one leg at shortstop, he nearly got himself seriously injured again, courtesy of a cheap takeout slide from Mike Napoli. Any other major league shortstop would have been there and gone already…
Eduardo Nunez gets good news on knee
Aug 29, 2013, 7:01 PM EDT
Eduardo Nunez left Tuesday's game after injuring his right knee and had to be scratched from the lineup Wednesday, but fortunately for the Yankees, he won't have to miss significant time. According to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News, an MRI on Nunez's knee came back negative earlier today. He's considered day-to-day. Nunez…
Mark Reynolds is the Yankees starting second baseman tonight

Yankees win, A-Rod disappoints in home debut
Aug 10, 2013, 12:05 AM EDT
Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez went 0-for-4 in his season debut at Yankee Stadium and closer Mariano Rivera blew his second save in a row, but the Yankees won anyway thanks to a Brett Gardner walk-off single with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 11th. In the bottom of the first, Rodriguez strode…
Alex Rodriguez goes 1-for-4 with a single in his first game back with Yankees
Aug 5, 2013, 11:23 PM EDT
Let the spectacle begin. Despite being handed a 211-game suspension from MLB for his alleged connections to Biogenesis, Alex Rodriguez is making his season debut tonight against the White Sox. In his first game in the majors since January hip surgery, he's batting cleanup and playing third base. And you can count on HBT to…
Derek Jeter goes on DL to make room for Alex Rodriguez
Aug 5, 2013, 5:58 PM EDT
Maybe the Yankees were thinking of waiting a couple of more days to see how Derek Jeter's injured calf would respond, but that would have required cutting an infielder to make room for the returning Alex Rodriguez on Monday. Instead, they chose the prudent course and placed Jeter on the disabled list for the third…
And That Happened: Tuesday's scores and highlights
Jul 24, 2013, 7:07 AM EDT
Mariners 4, Indians 3: The M's just keep on winning. That's eight in a row, with this one ending interestingly. The Indians had runners on the corners with no one out in the ninth. Then Drew Stubbs got caught in a rundown he probably shouldn't have gotten caught in between third and home, ending the…
Yankees place Derek Jeter on disabled list with quad injury
Jul 19, 2013, 10:15 AM EDT
After missing the first 90 games of the season Derek Jeter returned from a broken ankle last Thursday, only to injure his quadriceps midway through his first game back. Jeter used the All-Star break to rest up, hoping to avoid a return to the disabled list, but the Yankees have placed the shortstop back on…
Derek Jeter injures quadriceps in first game back from broken ankle
Jul 11, 2013, 4:40 PM EDT
Derek Jeter made his season debut this afternoon, returning to the Yankees' lineup with an infield single in his first at-bat. Later, in his third at-bat, Jeter injured his right quadriceps muscle. After the game both Jeter and manager Joe Girardi expressed optimism that it wasn't a serious injury, but Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports…
Yankees activate Eduardo Nunez, place David Phelps on DL with forearm strain
Jul 6, 2013, 11:40 AM EDT
The Yankees have activated infielder Eduardo Nunez from the 60-day disabled list while right-hander David Phelps has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a slight sprain of his right forearm.

Yankees put Jayson Nix on the disabled list, sign Dodgers castoff Luis Cruz
Jul 3, 2013, 5:10 PM EDT
Derek Jeter has yet to play this season, his shortstop fill-in Eduardo Nunez is on the disabled list with an oblique injury, and now the fill-in's fill-in, Jayson Nix, is on the DL with a hamstring strain. Nix has been the Yankees' primary shortstop since mid-May, but has hit just .236 with two homers and…
Who is Alex Rodriguez following on Twitter?
Jun 26, 2013, 11:19 AM EDT
Sure, the big news about Alex Rodriguez joining Twitter this week is that he almost immediately managed to piss off Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, but as a Twitter addict I'm more interested in who A-Rod has chosen to follow. So far he's followed 41 accounts, including lots of Yankees-related stuff like the Yankees' official…
Kevin Youkilis needs back surgery, out 10-12 weeks
Jun 18, 2013, 4:16 PM EDT
The injury hits just keep on coming for the Yankees, who announced that Kevin Youkilis needs surgery to repair a herniated disc and will be out for 10-12 weeks. That puts Youkilis' season in jeopardy, because 10 weeks would get him into September and any setbacks would leave him running out of time. Youkilis hit…
Yankees place Kevin Youkilis on DL
Jun 14, 2013, 8:55 PM EDT
Yankees third baseman Kevin Youkilis played in all 18 innings of yesterday's affair with the Oakland Athletics, then woke up this morning with numbness in his foot. As a result, the Yankees have placed him on the 15-day disabled list and will have him see a specialist over the weekend, per the YES Network. Youkilis…

QPR boss Harry Redknapp has ruled out a January clearout.
Redknapp denied that Sunday's clash with Liverpool for some of his existing squad to prove themselves.
"I won't be looking to get rid of anybody," said Redknapp.
"On the bench the other day had a young kid there so we are certainly not overloaded. We've got some long term injuries, so I can't be suddenly getting people out of here without getting some in. I'm not looking to shift people out quickly until I can get people in."
He added: "I would not bring people in if I didn't think they could do a job for us. There's no point bringing players in for the sake of it. I have got to get people in the right positions who I think can help it. If I can't I may as well sit tight."

Of note, many commonly used tests -- such as Digit Span (repeating a set of numbers forward, backward), verbal fluency (generating words by first letter or category, such as animals), drawing tasks and more were unable to distinguish between dementia types. "While these tests may assist in diagnosing dementia, they do not adequately discriminate between Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia," wrote the authors. Teasing apart different types of dementia is often harder than deciding whether someone is showing cognitive decline in the first place, Mathias explained.
Although the two tests that worked best would most reliably contribute to a clinical diagnosis, "All cognitive tests should be used cautiously and only in conjunction with other information (imaging, medical history) when diagnosing patients," the authors said.

Roger E. Backhouse, a professor of economic history at the University of Birmingham, and Bradley W. Bateman, a professor of economics at Denison University, are the authors of "Capitalist Revolutionary: John Maynard Keynes."
...Course lists from economics departments used to be filled with offerings in "comparative economic systems," contrasting capitalism and socialism or comparing the French, Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon models of capitalism.
Such courses arose in the context of the cold war, when the battle with the Soviet Union was about showing that our system was better than theirs. But with the demise of the Soviet Union, that motivation disappeared. Globalization, so it is claimed, has created a single system of capitalism driven by international competition (ignoring the very real differences between, say, China and the United States). We now have an economics profession that hardly ever discusses its fundamental subject, "capitalism."
Many economists say that what matters are questions like whether markets are competitive or monopolistic, or how monetary policy works. Using broad, ill-defined notions like capitalism invites ideological grandstanding and distracts from the hard technical problems....

Emergency Protective Measures
PA ID# 059-99059-00; Fairfax County
PW ID# 575; Emergency Protective Measures
Citation: FEMA-1905-DR-VA; Fairfax County, Emergency Protective Measures, PW 575
Cross -
Reference: Emergency Protective Measures; Work Eligibility
Summary: As a result of the severe winter storms and snowstorms that occurred in February 2010, Fairfax County's (Applicant's) Fire and Rescue Department (FRD) participated in emergency response activities. The Applicant requested reimbursement from FEMA for labor, equipment, and material costs totaling $5,140,182. FEMA reviewed the Applicant's claim and determined that a significant portion of the costs were increased operating expenses and not eligible for reimbursement. FEMA used dispatch records and call logs to determine which emergency calls were not disaster related such as house fires, drug overdoses, suicide attempts and assaults. FEMA presumed that the remaining calls, the descriptions of which indicated potential to be disaster-related, were in fact required as the result of the declared event and estimated the labor and equipment costs based on the time of each call and the type of equipment used. FEMA prepared PW 575 in the amount of $172,585 for the FRD costs associated with eligible emergency work.
In its first appeal, the Applicant stated that a portion of the FRD's gross costs for emergency response during the event is associated with eligible emergency protective measures, but the dispatch system does not provide sufficiently detailed data to determine which emergency calls were eligible for funding. The Applicant requested that FEMA fund the work performed by the FRD during the incident period based on a 43.24 percent increase in total aggregated incident response time over the summation of times from the week before the event. The Regional Administrator denied the first appeal because the Applicant did not provide a basis for the proposed percentage of total costs and determined that the labor and equipment costs requested were not eligible.
In its second appeal, the Applicant states that the $1,258,353 in additional requested funding is associated with eligible emergency work that was conducted as a direct result of the event and that the costs are fully supported by the documentation submitted. The Applicant requests that FEMA consider funding a percentage (43.24%) of the total FRD costs, because the percentage is a reasonable representation of eligible costs and was developed in collaboration with FEMA.
Issue: Was the work associated with the additional claimed costs required as the result of the declared event?
Finding: No. The Applicant did not submit sufficient documentation to demonstrate that the claimed work was a result of the disaster.
Rationale: 44 CFR §206.223(a) General work eligibility

The Journal Sentinel education reporters offer news and notes from their beat
State schools superintendent calls for compromise on budget repair bill
State schools superintendent Tony Evers issued a statement Tuesday calling for the preservation of public-sector workers' union bargaining rights now that they have agreed to benefit concessions sought by Gov. Scott Walker.
"We need to make tough decisions, but we must be careful not to abandon fairness and a sense of decency," Evers said in his statement. "We need to strengthen relationships among educators and school leaders to implement current innovations around teacher compensation, evaluation, and improvement. Together, we can tackle these budget problems, grow our economy, and improve our strong public school system without doing permanent harm to long-standing rights."
Evers was elected to his nonpartisan post in 2009 with strong backing from teachers unions.
The Wisconsin Association of School Boards also has expressed concerns about the rollback of collective bargaining rights in Walker's proposal. In a letter sent to legislators last week, WASB Executive Director John Ashley described his members as "deeply divided over the dramatic curtailment of collective bargaining rights proposed in the bill."
Ashley said that WASB members, who sit opposite the teachers unions at the bargaining table, appreciated the governor's help in containing wage and benefit increases. "However, this bill goes well beyond anything the WASB's members have requested in terms of altering the employer-employee relationship," he wrote.
Walker has said that, despite the union's agreement to the benefits concession he sought with his bill, he still believes the changes to state collective bargaining laws are needed to keep down costs in the future.

If you've been living under a rock lately, you're probably wondering who the cast of "Jersey Shore" is. "Jersey Shore" is a reality TV show that follows eight young, "Italian" housemates as they spend their summers on New Jersey's famous beach. "Jersey Shore" has garnered a lot of criticism in its tenure, most notably for its stereotypical portrayal of Italian-Americans in a bad fashion. The cast of "Jersey Shore" consists of both professional and temporary actors who may or may not be of actual Italian descent.
The cast of "Jersey Shore" is wide and (in terms of personality) diverse. The idea that all the cast members are the same, stereotypical Italian-Americans is a bunch of nonsense because each cast mate brings something different to the table.

Moody's puts Singapore banks on 'negative' outlook
popular .
SINGAPORE—Credit rating agency Moody's on Monday downgraded the outlook of Singapore's three main banks to "negative" from "stable" amid rising property prices and mounting household debt in the city-state.
"The two main drivers underpinning our opinion are the recent period of rapid loan growth and rising real estate prices in Singapore and in regional markets where Singapore banks are active," it said in a statement.
"These have increased the probability of deterioration in the banks' credit profiles under potential adverse conditions in the future."
Moody's said Singapore banks have been operating in a favorable environment for an extended period amid low interest rates and strong regional economic growth, which has led to rising credit and asset inflation in the property and financial markets.
Domestically, household debt increased to 77.2 percent of gross domestic product as of March 2013 from 64.4 percent at the end of 2007, with private property prices growing 120 percent during the same period.
"Regionally, we observe similar or even more dramatic trends," Moody's added, noting that Singapore banks generate more than 37 percent of their revenues from overseas markets.
A tightening of US monetary policy is a "potential trigger" that could have an impact on interest rates in Singapore and neighboring countries as well as capital flows in emerging economies where Singapore banks are active, Moody's said.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said last week the US central bank would maintain its growth-oriented policies "for the foreseeable future." But some analysts expect its $85 billion-a-month bond purchases to taper off in coming months, possibly in September.
Moody's outlook report covers prospects in the next 12-18 months for DBS Bank, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. and United Overseas Bank.

almost perfect - highly recommendable
"We were very happy we came back to Anthelia (second time). The room was beautiful (Electra 307) and the seesight view amazing. The food was delicious The service was, as we expected, perfect and the staff (swimmingpool as well as in the restaurants) friendly and always ready tot help. We spend a very pleasant week in Anthelia and hope to be back next year. "Rating: 9,0

How long the work was expected to go on for and I was informed that it would go on for full duration of our holiday. In view of this the staff agreed to change our room. During this the reception staff were excellent and the rest our holiday was very en
"Upon arrival we were allocated a room that overlooked the sea, the road that run past the front of the hotel and the road works that we're going on on the road next to the hotel. We were not prepared to accept this room and the reception very kindly changed for us. We were in this room for 2 days and there was a lot of work going on in the block we were in. I contacted the reception to enquire"Rating: 10,0
Peter Richardson says: 8 months
Wonderful holiday-we shall certainly return.
"Everything about the hotel is 'understated' first class. The staff are the most polite I think I have experienced in a long time taking holidays abroad. I have been to Adeje many times and every time I walked round the headland housing the swimming pool I told myself I would like to stay there.It exceeded my expectations which were high in the first place."Rating: 10,0
Nigel Duthie says: 8 months
We would probably not stay at the hotel again.
"Beautiful hotel, well laid out and with wonderful staff. I have marked only 7 because, breakfast apart (outstanding), the lunch and evening meal options were poorer than expected for a 5-star hotel. We sampled the evening buffet on arrival and it was towards the end of service - the food was cold and 35 euro per head was extortionate for the quality on offer."Rating: 7,0Iberostar Hotels & Resorts 8 months

The cute and cuddly pet of fifth-grader Laura, Hamtaro is a golden hamster with an insatiable curiosity. Together with the Ham-Ham Gang, a bunch of hamsters as clever and unique as Hamtaro himself, Hamtaro lives each day as a whole new adventure ... complete with fun, excitement, and friendship. In this imaginative board book with a hole cut through each page, the picture and story change with each new page. On the first page, Hamtaro and his Ham-Ham friends think they see a cat about to pounce on them, but as the story unfolds and the pages are turned one by one, the scary "cat" turns out to be anything but.

What We're Obsessed With: Art Deco Feline Pins by Novodeco
In 2011, Perrin Lam - who worked as a "Mad Man" creative in the ad business in the 70s - launched Novodeco, a jewelry line he describes as "a celebration of the continuing conversation between line and curve, Art Deco and Bauhaus; De Stijl and Objectivism; Dada and Constructivism and the many sub-genres in between."
"That may hurt to think about, but it's easy to wear," he adds.
The designer wondered why pet jewelry so often led toward the cartoonish rather than Modernist, and was inspired to create a beautiful line of feline (and canine) pins that are not only meant to be worn as chic accessories, but also admired as unique works of art. Like any artist, Lam relies on a creative muse, and revealed to me that his Fat Cat collection in particular is based on his real life pudgy puss, Girtha.
I'm a big fan of the Tuxedo Cat and the Flying Kitty pin designs, but other pieces such as Bent Cat, Radio Cat, and Criss Cross Cat are also not to be missed. The entire collection ranges from $110 - $150 each, and can be found over at Novodeco.com.

Ace Hotel chain co-founder dies in London at 47
Monday - 11/18/2013, 1:30pm EST
SEATTLE (AP) -- Alex Calderwood, the Seattle co-founder of the hip Ace Hotel chain, has died in London at age 47.
His company, Atelier Ace, said on its website that he passed away Thursday but released no information about the cause. The statement calls Calderwood "our teacher, mentor, guru and most importantly our dear friend."
In 1999, he and two friends launched Seattle's Ace Hotel in a flophouse that formerly served maritime workers. It's renowned for its much-imitated style, with vintage and repurposed furniture, record players and guestroom art by Shepard Fairey -- who later became famous for creating the "HOPE" poster that came to symbolize Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.
Ace Hotels later opened in Portland, Ore.; New York; Palm Springs, Calif.; and London, with others scheduled to open late this year or early next year in Panama City, Panama, and Los Angeles. Ace describes itself on its website as "a collection of individuals -- multiple and inclusive, held together by an affinity for the soulful."
"We try to do unexpected things from a design standpoint," Calderwood told The New York Times in 2008. "We want to celebrate the everyday with utilitarian objects."
Calderwood grew up in Seattle's eastside suburbs. Just out of high school, he began managing a Seattle clothing store called International News. He used material from a Boeing Co. surplus store to create fixtures, desks and other parts of a showroom, Amit Shah, who hired him, told The Seattle Times (http://is.gd/iDAxkp ).
"He saw what you could do with material that nobody else wanted," Shah said. "He always had a desire to come up with something new that gave consumers value for their money. He was an entrepreneur and knew how to entertain, but more than that, he was always willing to talk about what the new thing was."
In 1993, Calderwood and two partners started a Seattle chain of rock-themed barbershops called Rudy's. The stores were a hit, and there are now eight of them in Seattle and nine others spread through in Portland, New York and Los Angeles.
He went on to open a popular Seattle nightclub before becoming a hotelier.
Ryan Bukstein, Ace's director of public relations and marketing, said he had been working for the company for 14 years, since starting as an intern while in college. Calderwood was his friend and mentor, he said.
"His humility, spirit of collaboration and tireless work ethic has influenced our family at Atelier Ace and creatives across the globe," Bukstein wrote in an email Sunday. "We all plan to continue moving forward with the ideals Alex championed so naturally."
Calderwood is survived by his parents, Thomas and Kathleen Calderwood of Seattle; two sisters, Donna Roberts and Tahnee Ferry; and a brother, Tim Calderwood.

Senior Congress leader Amarinder Singh today held Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal responsible for Wednesday's clashes between Sikhs and policemen and alleged that the SAD patron was behaving like a "modern day mahant" who does not want to lose control of gurdwaras.
In a statement issued in Chandigarh, Amarinder said he was feeling "pained and disappointed" over the scenes outside some historic gurdwaras in Haryana, where the newly constituted Haryana SGMC wants to take over the affairs but was being resisted by the Amritsar-based SGPC task force.
Members of newly-formed Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee today clashed with police in Kurukshetra while "forcefully" trying to take control of a gurdwara, where Amritsar-based SGPC members were already present in large numbers.
"Badal is behaving like a 'modern day mahant' (hereditary controller of shrines) who did not want to lose control over Haryana gurdwaras, like the 'old day mahants' against whom the Sikhs had to launch an agitation which eventually resulted in the constitution of the SGPC," Singh said.
"In almost similar manner, the Haryana Sikhs are trying to wrest control of their Gurdwaras from the gang of modern day mahants led by Badal," he added.
Praying for peace and wisdom to prevail, the former Punjab Chief Minister said, this all was happening because Badal was not prepared to give the Haryana Sikhs their rightful due.
"What is being witnessed today outside various Haryana gurdwaras is a total lawlessness and anarchy scripted and executed by Badal," he alleged.

HURST On Saturday, Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton made his first public appearance in North Texas since a well-documented relapse with alcohol.
Hamilton drove up to an appearance at the LifeWay Christian Store in Hurst to sign copies of his new book, Beyond Belief. Hamilton has struggled with alcohol and drug abuse for years and turned to his faith to cope.
The AmericanLeague Most Valuable Player emerged from a black pickup truck behind the store wearing a black T-shirt, a backwards baseball cap and sunglasses. He was seen giving a kiss to his wife, Katie, who drove up in a separate vehicle.
Photographers were shooed away as Hamilton entered the store through a rear entrance.
Hundreds, many wearing Rangers gear, braved the cold temperatures to support the baseball superstar. People slip, you know... it's a recovery process, said Hamilton fan Josh Plowman. People slip up. It happens.
Just after admitting his relapse two weeks ago, Hamilton kept a commitment to appear at a Houston-area Christian conference, but this was his first public appearance in the Dallas-Fort Worth area since then.
On Friday, the team's general manager Jon Daniels said talks about extending Hamilton's contract beyond 2012 would be postponed.
Spring training begins later this month.

On October 7, ASPCA Special Investigator Paul Romano removed Hennessy, a weak and emaciated Pit Bull, from a Staten Island home. She was found tied to a short leash, and veterinarians at the ASPCA Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital determined that the skeletal dog had been starved.
Flash forward to December, and Hennessy is hardly the same dog. (Check out the before-and-after pics below!) During her stay at the ASPCA, she's gained 92 percent of her body weight.
While hospital staff takes care of Hennessy, Humane Law Enforcement Agents are taking care of business. On December 11, Agents arrested Laquanda Carter, Hennessy's owner. Carter, 27, was charged with animal abuse and faces a year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine if convicted.
Hennessy was rescued thanks to a concerned neighbor who reported the abuse. If you suspect an animal is being abused, don't keep it to yourself—report it to your local authorities.
Poss off you totally ignorant hasbeen. It+s people loke YOU who need to be exterminated
Piss off you totally ignorant hasbeen. It's people like YOU who need to be exterminated
You sir, are an idiot. Pit Bulls were originally called nanny g=dogs, as they were placed with children and in nurseries. They were highly decorated working dogs throughout World War 1 and 11. They actually rate below Labradors on the Dog Aggression Index. They are, however, a strong breed, who trains well in whatever their owner trains them to do. So. Who's fault is it, if an individual dog is aggressive? The owner. There are more bites registered per year by Cocker Spaniels than pit bulls. They are simply the latest in the picked on breed of the decade. In the 70's, it was the Doberman, in the 80's, it was the German Shepherd, in the 90's it the Rottweiler. Now it is the pit bull. It is actually the people, not the dog. Good day.
Are you saying because some people are murderers that all people should be exterminated because that is what it sounds like to me. There are good and bad in every breed and every human being - you cannot just say exterminate because there are a few bad apples.
I have owned pit bulls along with cats and other breeds of dogs and pit bulls ARE NOT a naturally killer breed. This is a vicious misinformation campaign that can only be stopped through calm presentation of the facts about pit bulls. I have had a more "vicious" dalmation than my "bully", and Dalmation are notoriously friendly, playful and child friendly dogs...JUST LIKE MY PTI BULL. Please get the facts before regurgitating the hatred spewed by the ignorant you eat without thinking!
...totally agree with Rosalind, same treatment to this kind of "persons"!!!!!!!
he should be left to us to handly, we will take off a small piece of him every 3 hrs so he can suffer.
If Pitbull are the so- called killers and must be exterminated according to one comment here, the person who commented this must also be terminated. Animals have a more sound Nature than one or a hundred Humans put together- they will give their lives to protect us, unlike us Humans. So, SUCK IT UP, this is to RIchard, the Pitbull plus many a animal hater, who dared to pass that comment!

In digital marketing, it is evident that data is what sets companies apart, with many believing that big (data) is better. But data alone, no matter the size, is not enough to give that competitive advantage. In fact, it is not completely unreasonable to believe that with all the web analytics tools available, sooner or later you and your competition will be collecting very similar data. So, what will put you ahead of the pack will not be your data but what you do with it. Simply put, analytics data cannot provide any insights or advantage unless it is applied.

"These invitations are the perfect style of what we are looking for and goes with our type of style. The quality far exceeds what we were expecting."
"My fiance and I both have very long names, so fitting our full names on our wedding invitations was a concern. WeddingPaperDivas were so helpful and kind when I called to make sure they could make this happen for us. We are also only having a 3 month long engagement, so there was a time crunch for sure! We were able to get our beautiful invitations quickly and WeddingPaperDivas was a pleasure to work with. The ettiquitte tips were very helpful! The proof process was fast and easy and very helpful! I will definately refer friends here. The invitations look beautiful and they are a good quality paper. We didn't even realize we could put our pictures on the back until after we had already decided on these invitations, talk about a pleasent surprise! No additional charge for the pictures being printed either."
"I had our wedding invitation personalized with different fonts, extra wording, and different alignment. The designer adjusted everything perfectly and quickly, and at no additional charge. The invitations came earlier than expected. I am ecstatic with the final result, and will continue to use Wedding Paper Divas."
"These invitations came exactly how you envision them to come. The paper is a nice textured paper and they came a week early from their expected delivery date! I'm very happy with these and my experience!"
"The invitations came out exactly how I envisioned them and they were able to tailor the design to my liking. The invitations came in before the expected delivery date. I was very satisfied with my overall experience. Truly awesome customer service with my special requests. Thank you!"

Gobble. Gobble. Gobble.
Sure, it graces the cover of the November Southern Living issue in all its glazed and basted glory. It takes centerstage on dining room across the country, all while in your head you're carving the dang bird like a Norman Rockwell illustration. NOTE: Nobody looks like that family, no matter how hard you try. Why? Because nobody is really that excited about the big bird we associate with Thanksgiving.
Don't get me wrong. I could eat a turkey sandwich every day, but that doesn't mean turkey is my number one draft pick on the last Thursday of November. When I PHD (pile it high and deep – thanks to my great-grandfather for that expression) on Thanksgiving, my plate most definitely includes the following, listed in order of importance:
Dressing. Holy moly whoever came up with the idea to put this mess in a casserole dish deserves a MAJOR AWARD. End of story.
Sweet potato casserole. Any time you can mix a delicious, nutrient-packed vegetable with gobs of sugar and delicious sweetness, it's a party. Sign me up.
Corn pudding. My grandmother's famous recipe lives on, and even though we eat it throughout the year, it's a top pick for Thanksgiving.
Bread. Straight up carbs. They rule. Sorry, I'm not sorry.
Ham. I love nothing more than sneaking a few tiny pieces off the plate before everyone comes in to make the rounds. Give me that honey baked goodness.
Everything else at Thanksgiving is fantastic, but that's my starting five. I'm pretty sure my pants are a little tighter after last week's festivities, but I don't feel bad about it. Not one bit. Bring on the Christmas festivities, y'all!

Busia Women Representative Florence Mutua has rubbished claims that Kamba women are too cheap and can be given out for free.
She was responding to a report on Monday which revealed how more than 100 men thronged Nambale sub county headquarters, Busia, on Sunday to get 'free wives'.
The men came to receive "the wives", a sack of maize, Sh10,000 in cash, sufurias and a cooking stick.
An NGO in partnership with the national government allegedly offered to ferry beautiful women from Ukambani to offer them to unmarried men.
Through text messages, Mutua thanked Busia and Siaya men for coming out in large numbers to fetch Kamba wives.
"This shows that men from various communities trust and believe that Kamba women make good wives. However, it should not be misconstrued to mean that they are easily available," she said.
"Why would Kamba women be ferried to Busia to be given out to unmarried men for free? Shame! Shame! Kambas have their own customs just like Luhyas, Tesos and Luos," Mutua added.
Mutua said: "The idle or busy bodies that started the rumour should be ashamed of themselves and apologise to the Kamba community."
She urged men to get education, empower themselves economically and then get married to a woman from whichever community.
"There is nothing free in this world, leave alone beautiful Kamba women. Get the right credentials and you can get a woman from any corner of the world," Mutua said.

Urban Conflict Championship Mixed Martial Arts Fight League Debuts 'UCC 1: MERCILESS'
JERSEY CITY, N.J., March 11 /PRNewswire/ — On March 19, 2010, Jersey City's National Guard Armory will be the site of the first major Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) event to take place directly outside of New York City – "UCC 1: MERCILESS." This event will introduce a new metropolitan-area MMA fight league called Urban Conflict Championship, whose mission is to continue to drive the popularity of the sport in the Tri-State area.
"UCC 1: MERCILESS" presents an all-professional, MMA fight card lineup, featuring some of the most anticipated talent in the sport. The lineup hails fighters from a number of distinguished schools in the area including AMA Fight Club, American Top Team, Bomb Squad, Iron Horse, Renzo Gracie, and Tiger Schulmann's. A sell-out crowd of 2,500 people is expected to attend the first of six events to take place this year, in various locations encompassing the Tri-State area.
Within the past year, MMA has become widely accepted as the fastest growing sport in the nation. However, it continues to struggle against state regulators who look to monitor the sport's brutality. It remains banned from competition in Maine, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, and West Virginia. Amid controversy, MMA continues to draw positive attention and record popularity through both broadcast and live events. The best known fight league in the sport, The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), continually reaches record breaking Pay Per View sales and sell-out events in every state and country it travels to (UFC: 111 scheduled on March 27, 2010, in Newark, NJ was reported sold out by mid February). Over the past two years the sport has seen an increase in start-up fight leagues across the United States, attracting a growing number of professional MMA fighters.
The March 19th event takes place at The National Guard Armory of Jersey City, a building with a rich history in prizefight boxing from the 1970-80s. Former New Jersey Governor Brendon Byrne and former Jersey City Mayor Thomas F.X. Smith entered the boxing ring at the Armory with Mohammed Ali at a benefit event held for the Jersey City Medical Center in 1972(1). The Armory is located off the Journal Square stop on the Path Train, only minutes away from New York City where the legalization of MMA has incited recent political controversy. New York Governor David Paterson and Secretary of State Lorraine Cortes-Vazquez both argue that the legalization of the sport will create service jobs and immediate relief for the State's fiscal budget.
The event will be sponsored by HD Net Fights, Liquid Lightning, Untamed Industries, Cucca Fresca Spirits, BuddhaSport.com, Redi Print, and The Blaq List. Film production of the event will be managed by Code Films, a division of The Napoleon Group (NY, NY) – a progressive production house with over 25 years experience. Getz Media (NY, NY), the creative consulting agency for UCC Fights, created all advertising materials for this event.
The official weigh-in for "UCC 1: MERCILESS" is scheduled for Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 7:00pm, in the Liberty Room of the Hyatt Regency of Jersey City on the Hudson, 2 Exchange Place, Jersey City, NJ 07302.
Please visit www.uccfights.com for updated information regarding Urban Conflict Championship and "UCC 1: MERCILESS."
The "UCC 1: MERCILESS" Fight Card will feature 9+ professional bouts including:
Cruiser weight 190 lbs - Ryan Contaldi (6-2) v. Lamont Lister (6-8) Middleweight 185 lbs - John Troyer (10-3) v. David Branch (4-0) Middleweight 185 lbs - John Doyle (8-10) v. Dan Cramer (2-1) Lightweight 155 lbs - Josh Key (4-3) v. Hitalo Machado (6-3)
