Facebook Releases Part of its Source Code
The Facebook social network has released part of its source code under the "Facebook Open Platform" label, including the F8 developer platform which was released one year ago.
The source code comprises a "snapshot of the infrastructure on which Facebook is based" and includes the API infrastructure and the FQL (Facebook Query Language) Parser, FBML (Facebook Markup Language), and (Facebook JavaScript).
Facebook has placed the component under the MPL (Mozilla Public License) and CPAL (Common Public Attribution License) Open Source licenses, which OSI (Open Source Initiative) regards to be genuine Open Source licenses. According to a statement this is a step by the operators to give something back to the community, which has requested more tools and information. At the same time, the people behind Facebook hope that creative users will use the platform in ways that they had never thought of.
This code release is just the first step as Facebook will be releasing more source code in future. . Facebook Open Platform can be downloaded from this website as a zipped tarball.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 5/7/12
Suspended former Saints defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove says he is disappointed his sworn statement regarding the NFL's bounty investigation was leaked and also that the league has ''grossly mischaracterized'' his words. In a statement emailed to The Associated Press on Wednesday by his agent, Phil Williams, Hargrove said he hoped the NFL would not discuss the signed declaration publicly. ''Call me naive, but I did not expect them to publicize the fact that I had sent them 'the Declaration.' But since they did, and because they grossly mischaracterized my words, it obviously became a hot item and subsequently was leaked by someone,'' Hargrove's statement said. Hargrove's declaration explains how ex-Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and current assistant head coach Joe Vitt instructed him to deny the existence of a bounty program in New Orleans when he was interviewed by NFL investigators in March of 2010. Hargrove acknowledges that he acted on Williams' and Vitt's i...

Eagles left defensive end Jason Babin could miss most of training camp with a partially torn muscle in his left calf. An MRI exam revealed Babin has a second-degree strain, which occurred Saturday during a one-on-one pass-rushing drill against right tackle Todd Herremans. Babin was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2011 with 18 sacks and three forced fumbles after re-joining the Eagles as a free agent. He has 30.5 sacks in his past 32 games and has been mostly healthy since 2009, when he played in only nine games with the Chiefs. Babin battled injuries in two previous seasons with the Seahawks. He was a first-round pick of the Texans in 2004. The initial diagnosis given by coach Andy Reid was a strained calf and he estimated Babin would miss about a week of practice. Babin's MRI had been delayed because he swallowed a penny-sized thermometer. Former first-round pick Brandon Graham is taking most of the snaps at left end. The Eagles have depth at defensive end with Babin, Trent...

Dadeville gets grant for Kwang Sung expansionPublished 1:32pm Friday, December 27, 2013
The city of Dadeville was awarded a $350,000 grant by Gov. Robert Bentley to assist the expansion of auto parts maker Kwang Sung at the William T. Thweatt Industrial Park.
The community development block grant will help the city make improvements to the sewer system to assist the company's planned $9 million expansion. The expansion will include a building a new 100,000-square-foot facility. The company, which has operated in Dadeville since 2006, uses a blow molding process to produce components that include door panels and sun visors for Kia and Hyundai vehicles made in the region.
Currently the company employs 334 people at the industrial park along U.S. Highway 280.They will hire 100 new local employees after the expansion.
"The success of automobile manufacturers in the Southeast depends on high quality parts producers like KwangSung and their skilled Alabama workforce," Bentley said. "I commend KwangSung for its expansion, and I am delighted to contribute to the development of new jobs for our residents."
CDBG funding will be used to provide sewer services for the new facility located on a 25-acre site in the industrial park. Dadeville is supplying $33,000 as a match for the grant. Previously, a $600,000 grant awarded by ADECA helped KwangSung to locate in the area, and ADECA funding also assisted another automobile components manufacturer to locate and expand in the industrial park.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development allocates CDBG funds to Alabama. The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs reviews grant applications and determines which projects to recommend to the governor for approval. ADECA administers a wide range of programs that support law enforcement, economic development, workforce development, recreation, energy conservation and water resource management.
Bentley notified Mayor Joe L. Smith that the grant had been approved this week.

Re: Fleas & TicksPosted by: Marie Evans
Posted on: February 06, 2002 at 09:05:51
In Reply to: Fleas & Ticks
: Hi,
: Thanks & Regards
Anywhere there are fleas and ticks and a dog isn't protected against them, you can expect to find some on your dog.
Fleas will lay eggs on your dog and that's how they multiply, and they can also lay eggs anywhere the dog has been which means you can get a very nasty flea infestation inside your home.
As far as fleas go it will be really apparent if your dog has them as he will be scratching like crazy. Fleas like to migrate to certain areas of a dogs body, such as near his rear-end and towards the head. If you find little black "dirt" on him, take some of that "dirt" and put it on a paper towel and then moisten it. If it's flea dirt it will turn red because it's actually blood. You can purchase a flea comb and comb through your dog. Fleas can run fast through a dog's hair so looking for flea "dirt" is your best indication along with the constant scratching your dog will do.
Ticks are a bit more tricky because dogs don't scratch as much with them. They also tend to migrate closer to the neck and head area but in order to find them you will have to search the dog over thoroughly. Ticks are usually attached and therefore are easier to spot.
Both can be controlled with topicals like Frontline which is what I use on my dogs. I don't care for the flea/tick baths as the chemicals in those are pretty harsh. Frontline is applied between the shoulder blades of the dog and you must make sure it makes contact with the skin. It's very simple to use, takes only a few seconds to apply and for fleas should last about 3 months. With ticks it doesn't last as long so you will need to reapply as necessary. And that all depends on where you live. If you live in a colder climate and you get enough hard freezes you should be able to take a break with applying until spring.

The Department of Veterans Affairs says it has reached out to nearly 140,000 veterans in the past two months to get them off waiting lists and into clinics for medical appointments.
Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson revealed the number Thursday as the VA released new figures showing improved patient access to VA hospitals and clinics nationwide.
The announcement follows a national outcry over reports of patient deaths and treatment delays at VA facilities across the country.
The agency says that as of June 15, about 46,000 veterans waited at least 90 days for their first VA medical appointments. That's down from 57,000 who waited more than 90 days as of May 15.

|The Vor Game
Brothers in Arms is a science fiction novel by Lois McMaster Bujold and is part of the Vorkosigan Saga. It was the fifth book published in the series, and is the twelfth story, including novellas, in the internal chronology of the series. Brothers in Arms was first published by Baen Books in January 1989,[1] and is included in the 2002 omnibus Miles Errant.
Plot summary[edit]
Shortly after the Dagoola IV escape detailed in the novella "Borders of Infinity", Miles and some of his Dendarii mercenaries arrive on Earth, fleeing Cetagandan retribution and desperate to repair the damage suffered by their ships. Miles visits the Barrayaran Embassy so the Dendarii can be paid for their last mission. There he finds his cousin Ivan Vorpatril working for the distinctly hostile Captain Duv Galeni, who turns out to be a Komarran related to one of the alleged victims of Miles' father. Miles is reassigned to the Embassy as Third Military Attaché, under Galeni's command. Further complicating matters, Miles discovers he has a clone, created and trained as an assassin by Komarran diehards determined to free their planet.
The assassination plot is foiled. Miles allows his clone to escape; by Betan law, the clone is his brother, and Miles is well aware his formidable mother would be greatly displeased if he got rid of his troublesome new sibling. According to Barrayaran tradition, his brother would be named Mark Pierre Vorkosigan. In exchange for "Mark" helping Miles fool the Cetagandans, who are beginning to suspect that Naismith and Vorkosigan are the same person, the psychologically scarred Mark is let go with a considerable sum of money and the invitation to claim his Barrayaran heritage, if he wants to—or dares.

Weekend family vacation
I stayed with my 3 children at the Ramada Limited in Durango. It was one of the least expensive options, and considering that those were my parameters, it was a good experience. The staff was very attentive. The could have stood to be vacuumed
around the edges of the wall, and the doorway smelled like a skunk had sprayed it, but that didn't linger in the room for very long. (I think a skunk actually did spray the door, that is not an analogy). The hotel has a year round indoor hot tub, sauna and exercise room. The hot tub was fantastic. The sauna took an eternity to heat up, too long for the kids, but I'm sure it was nice when heated. Continental breakfast was fine, not above par. But the beds were comfortable, the shower was nice, and the room was pretty big. I would stay again.
Comfortable for Business traveler
Comfortable, easy access to main highway in Durango, Friendly staff and good continental breakfast.
Durango Ramada
Staff was very helpful in getting us checked in and suggesting local restaurants. Room were clean. Very good value for the money.
Comfortable stay
Nice clean rooms, friendly staff, good location to downtown, great value. Quiet and comfortable.
Mexican restaurant. Great food.
Clean, safe and Very Comfortable!
I stayed here for one night while in a business trip. The rooms were clean and roomy. The beds had temperpedic mattresses and were like a dream! They soap and a shampoos smelled so good! Like satsuma from the body shop. If ever in durango again,
I'd come back.
When you go - remember you are in a ramada - a motel in a college town. It's not the ritz, your not at a luxury hotel in a beautiful beach town. This is a great place to stay - just remember where you are.
Check out steam works brewery. Don't be bothered with the brewery next store - it's basically a frat house. Steam works has great food and amazing local craft beers. Try the Prescribed Burn!
Durango Stay
Room was very clean, staff was very freindlyat check in and check out, only thing bad about this trip was that you could here the road traffic out side all the time with the door closed know matter what time it was. Needs to improve on making the
rooms more noise proof.
Stay closer to down town where there is more dining and things to do and see
Decent, Cheap, would stay again
You will soon find out if you don't already know, but hotels in Durango are pretty over priced. $130/night for the Ramada? For that price, you could stay at a super nice hotel in most major cities.
It's a basic hotel that has has most everything
you need.
Pros: fridge/microwave in room, two sinks in room (one in the room and one in the shower room), that hot light think in the bathroom, location (2 miles from downtown, nearby restaurants), breakfast (although I didnt eat), free wifi, free parking, "business center," front desk customer service...
Cons: not that many outlets in the room (had to unplug clock and lamp), parking was limited, had "motel" feel.
Nevertheless, I would stay here again because it was one of the cheaper options in Durango.
The room size was great and very clean. The fixtures were a bit tired and breakfast was lacking.

About Oxitec (www.oxitec.com)
Oxitec is a British company pioneering a new approach to combating dengue fever. The Oxitec solution harnesses advanced genetics to create 'sterile' male insects to combat insect-borne diseases. Dengue fever, which at conservative estimate infects at least 50 million people a year, is a growing problem in Panama and across the globe. Currently, mosquito populations are controlled by chemical pesticides which are indiscriminate and have not stopped the spread of the disease. The Oxitec approach has the potential to make a major contribution to global health by combating insects responsible for serious diseases such as dengue fever.

"Wow" is correct. Is Russell Westbrook that desperate to be in the spot light? That being said, just because one is said to be skillful in a professional sport does not therefore follow that he or she is gifted in everything they do i.e. fashion or in Westbrook's case, the lack thereof. Moreover, just because a designer or it's the "style" does not mean it's for everyone. Some things should stay on the rack or on that designer"s run way.
Originally written on That NBA Lottery Pick | Last updated 8/12/13
As previously noted on That NBA Lottery Pick, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook has some interesting choices in fashion.

Tablas Creek Patelin de Tablas Blanc 2012
Rhone White Blends from Central Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
The 2012 Patelin de Tablas Blanc shows fruity, floral aromas of honeysuckle, apricot and candied grapefruit, with a spicy mineral note emerging with air. in the mouth it's mouth-filling with peach and lemon zest flavors and a creamy texture, but kept fresh by vibrant acids. The finish is long, rich and clean, with lingering flavors of peach and mineral. Drink now and for the next 2-3 years.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Light yellow. Deeply pitched orchard and pit fruit scents and flavors are lifted and sharpened by notes of lemon pith, white flowers and ginger. Juicy, incisive and refreshingly bitter, with a suave blend of richness and vivacity. A smoky nuance comes up on the finish, which shows strong cut and subtle herbacity. This will be highly adaptable at the table, especially with grilled poultry or fish, which is no surprise given its southern Rhone bloodline."
Tablas Creek Vineyard Winery
The Perrins of Chateau de Beaucastel and Robert Haas, their importer since 1970, founded Tablas Creek Vineyard in 1990. They chose their 1600-foot elevation site in West Paso Robles' Las Tablas because of its chalky clay soils and its climate similar to the southern Rhone Valley. They imported selected French cuttings of Mourvedre, Grenache, Syrah and Counoise and multiplied, grafted and planted their own vines, which they farm organically. This blended wine, in the image of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, is 100% estate-grown and bottled. View all Tablas Creek Vineyard Wines
About Central CoastView a map of Central Coast wineries
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review1 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Love sparks in the crystal cave of an iceberg but is thwarted by an unreasonable father and the Great War that drags Samuel and his brother, Matthew, to the Western Front as medical officers. Knowing Rebecca is home and safe in Newfoundland brings Samuel great comfort. But as the war moves towards its final harrowing days, they both discover that tragedy and terror can strike anywhere, setting their love on an unforeseen path.
Only when Samuel and Rebecca can fully come to terms with such devastating loss and their impossible choices can their love soar. With an emotional intensity reminiscent of The Bronze Horseman, Seldom Come By, named after an actual place in Newfoundland, is an unforgettable journey across waves and time and the full spectrum of human emotions.

Not many of us can say that cancer hasn't touched our lives in some way whether it be in our own life or in the lives of our loved ones. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I always like to try and spotlight a few books that deal with breast cancer and those dealing with it. A Breast Cancer Alphabet by Madhulika Sikka is a little book that packs a big punch and should be one of the first things you gift a newly diagnosed breast cancer patient. This book will give them some insight into what will happen to them in terms of the medical side of things and also the personal side as well. The best way I can describe this book is to say it is very real and straightforward. Madhulika talks about sex, drugs, your feelings on your hair and breasts for that matter – she addresses so many things that really matter when you're diagnosed with this devastating disease. As a note I used my own photo because I think it shows just how pretty this little book is and as frivolous as it may sound I think it's important to have pretty things when you're not well along with your favorite pillows (the author speaks about that), blankets, and of course your furry pet if you have one.
Yet this book isn't just for those diagnosed with breast cancer. It is important for an individual's family and friends to read it as well so they can gain a much better understanding of what their loved one is dealing with. Breast cancer has touched my family many times unfortunately as many carry the breast cancer gene and I lost a best friend to breast cancer as well. So many things that Madhulika describes I can still clearly remember one of my aunts and my friend dealing with. I wish that they would have had this book to help them understand what was happening to them or to even justify some of the feelings they were having in what Madhulika calls 'cancerland'. The book is quite literally an A-Z guide and Madhulika presents everything in a very clear, very personal, and very practical manner. She makes it ok for the cancer patient to feel as crappy as they do most days. She addresses things like the anxiety, fear, and guilt that comes with diagnoses. She talks about what to expect during and even after breast cancer. It really is an indispensable guide for those dealing with breast cancer. From firsthand experience of being the family member helping a loved one deal with their diagnosis I have to say that I wish we had this book to help deal with many of the issues that came up.
I love the personal and conversational tone of this book as well as how it looks. It even has pages in the back of it for those all important notes you need to make yourself or for your loved one because the wealth of information you are receiving is overwhelming. I was lucky to have both the beautiful hard cover edition of this book as well as being able to listen to the audiobook. The audiobook is wonderful. It is narrated by Madhulika herself and she has a beautiful and soothing voice which made it very easy to listen to. What I loved about the audio is that I felt more connected to Madhulika and what she went through as she is personally relating it to her listeners in her own words and emotions which is very powerful.
Whether it be the book or the audio I highly recommend this beautiful little book to anyone dealing with breast cancer and to their loved ones. It's both comforting and empowering to understand what is happening to you and around you. To Madhulika I wish you all the best and a continued cancer free check up in the years to come! Highly recommended!

To begin today's post I'd like to apologize to the author for not getting a review out on her memoir Short Leash: A Memoir of Dog Walking and Deliverance. Those who read my blog know about my dog Sammy being sick and my total lack of concentration on anything but him (I'll post an update tomorrow). Instead I'm going to post a book spotlight for my tour stop but I do plan on reading this book as soon as things settle down so be sure to watch for that in the future. Also be sure to follow along with the blog tour that started in December for reviews of Short Leash from some great bloggers!
It's hard to believe that a walk in the park can change a life – let alone two – but for Janice Gary and her dog Barney, that's exactly what happened.
Gary always walked with a big dog by her side and had ever since being attacked on the streets of Berkley as a young woman. For years, she relied on her beloved Husky to help her navigate the world on her own. Then he succumbed to canine cancer, leaving Janice alone and vulnerable once again. Enter Barney: a goofy, gangly stray Gary discovers wandering loose in a Piggly Wiggly parking lot. With biscuit-sized paws and a big, blocky head, the pup promises to grow into her biggest protector yet. And he does – but after an attack by a vicious dog, Barney becomes overly protective and barely manageable. Walking hiPm anywhere becomes almost impossible; but walking without him is unthinkable.
It's only when Gary risks bringing Barney to a local park on the Chesapeake Bay that both their lives change forever. There, Janice faces her deepest fears and discovers the grace of the natural world, the power of love and the potency of her own strengths. And Barney loses the leash of his own fears. Beautifully written, Short Leash is a moving tale of love and loss, the journey of a broken soul finding its way toward wholeness.

"There were innumerable times when I was just knocked over by this book. This is a stunningly beautiful story told by a gifted writer." –Meredith Hall, author of N.Y. Times Bestseller, Without a Map
"Short Leash… isn't quite a dog book—even though the title and the cover picture both relate to a big, lovable black lab named Barney. No, Short Leash is instead an impossibly beautiful portrait of two damaged souls and how they lean on one another to heal, hurt, and find their way back to happiness after unspeakable tragedy."–Independent Publisher
"Pema Chodron has said that the best way to deal with fear is to lean into it, diffusing its effect by letting it inform you and staying present. Suffering the after-effects of traumatizing attacks, Gary and her dog Barney leaned into their fears and in doing so, freed themselves from them. An inspiring and uncompromisingly honest story." The Bark Magazine
Named an "Editor's Pick" from New Pages.com.

"The pecans give this brittle a whole new flavor. I am begged for this recipe all of the time. I hope all enjoy."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
chopped pecans
1 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
light corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon
1 tablespoon
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
So easy! I didn't have a big enough measuring cup so I just used a glass , microwaveable dish. I didn't cook mine the entire 3.5 minutes on the second round because the pecans were trying to scorch. I did the rest exactly as it said and it turned out perfectly! Doesn't make a huge amount so you may want to double the recipe if you want a lot. Sooooo good! This recipe is a keeper for sure!
This recipe has all the right ingredients and was easy to make but if you follow the directions as given your brittle will burn. Perhaps this was meant to be used with a low wattage microwave, My microwave is 1200 watts .

Just wanted everyone to know that I'm the one who posted this recipe. I make this all the time and have made it on several different microwaves that have varied in wattage. I'm sorry that yours have burned and maybe just readjust the last two minutes for 1 minute. I've truly never had a problem with the times. Again I'm sorry. Also, I make mine is glass measuring cups. I have a variety of sizes and use the 4 cup measuring cup to cook it in the microwave.
I just made this recipe, and the first batch literally set my smoke alarm off--a burned up mess! [My microwave is a Samsung 1.65kW, which I assume is 1650 watts.] I tried it a second time, and cooked the first time for 3 minutes, the 2nd time [after stirring] for 2 minutes, and the 3 time [after butter] 1 minute, and it turned out great. I LOVE not having to cook brittle on the stove for hours at a time--thanks for the wonderful recipe!
Ingredients are spot on. Changed the cooking time to reflect larger microwave. I have a 1200 watt 1.2 cu ft Panasonic inverter microwave. Cooked the sugar and syrup 3 minutes on high. Added pecans and cooked another 3 minutes on high. Added butter, vanilla extract, and baking soda and stirred vigorously until well combined. Did not cook any more, poured into prepared baking sheet and let cool. Turned out perfect.
Edit: Made again and cut the cooking time after adding the pecans to 2:30 instead of 3:00 minutes. It was good before but had a bit of "toasty" taste. It set up fine and tasted better.
BEWARE. This is addictive. Wonderful and easy to make.
good but add i cup coconut at the end and wow
Delicious! And it took maybe 10 minutes to make (before cooling time)....I have to admit, I was surprised it actually turned out so well. I sprinkled half with salt before cooling...my daughter loved that 1/2 the best.

On Saturday, April 14, the Wisconsin Wellness Expo is hosting a three-hour Zumba marathon, walkathon and fitness challenge to raise money for the UW Eye Research Institute, known as ERI.
Jimmy Tormey, a longtime employee of the Division of Recreational Sports, recently went on medical retirement due to retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease that causes blindness.
"Jimmy is now preparing for a life transition without his sight by taking courses to develop new skills, and the decision to identify ERI as the beneficiary of the fundraising this year was easy," said Lori Devine, fitness director for the Division of Recreational Sports.
The expo, open to the public, is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Southeast Recreational Facility, commonly known as SERF. Free parking is available in lot 91 during the event, and free handouts include T-shirts and reusable shopping bags.

More than 18,500 B-cylce trips were taken by roughly 6,500 members in Madison in just 200 days of operation last year.
This year, Madison B-cycle expects even better numbers, in part, to the addition of eight new stations.

In just its first year, B-cycle members rode nearly 39,600 miles saving 2,844 gallons of gasoline that kept 103,000 pounds of carbon monoxide from being released into the city's air, officials said.
