European markets are slumping this morning on news that the prime minister of Italy is resigning. Mario Monti -- whose technocratic government took power a year ago to fix the Italian economy -- says he'll step down as soon as next year's budget gets approved. In North Dakota, oil production is booming. Of course, there's still no pipeline to move the oil -- which is causing a boom for another industry: railroads. And, there is still a glut of foreclosed houses on the market, but it's not ordinary homebuyers who are benefitting.

Ervin Santana pitched seven strong innings and the Kansas City Royals ended Boston's seven-game winning streak with a 4-2 win over the Red Sox in the opener of a day-night doubleheader on Sunday. The nightcap was scheduled after Friday night's game was postponed because of the manhunt for a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. Santana (2-1) allowed two runs on six hits with no walks and seven strikeouts. It was the third straight start in which he gave up two runs or less. The Red Sox loaded the bases with two outs in the eighth against Bruce Chen and Aaron Crow, but Jarrod Saltalamacchia grounded out to Crow. Greg Holland pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save in five opportunities.

Pros: Value for money, Easy to use, Good build quality, Quiet, looks good
"My new Hotpoint NCD191 refridgerated drawer unit is absolutely great - lots of room , plenty of room for milk bottles to stand and larger plastic containers to lay down. Drop down wine store (folds flat when not in use), two cool boxes included, butter dish and egg store also included. The two large (900mm wide) drawers are built in to my new kitchen and, from the outside, looks just like a pair of pan drawers. Great fun asking friends to get some milk out of the fridge!!"

The NCD191I are a great solution if you don't have enough space it your kitchen for a tall fridge, or you just prefer the look of them. Built in to your kitchen cabinet, you'd never know they were there. They're an innovative way of storing your fresh food, and will pack quite a lot in too.
There's 150 litres of cooling space inside the drawers making them ideal for a small family or couple. They come with a handy egg tray and butter box to easily organise the fridge's contents.
You don't need to worry about ice building up around the drawers as they have Auto Defrost. This heats the back wall and compresses the moisture so no ice builds up whatsoever. It's extremely hygienic too. The interior is covered with anti bacterial protection to kills the majority of germs, keeping the fridge smelling fresh and clean.
These fridge drawers are really efficient and won't cost much to run. They've been given an A+ energy rating and considering the fridge is on 24& all year round it's a great feature to have.>

Ohio State's Herb Williams is seen here on Dec. 3, 1980, at Rupp Arena in Lexington defending against Kentucky's Sam Bowie. The ninth-ranked Buckeyes lost to the fourth-ranked Wildcats, 70-64. Williams finished with a team-high 21 points and five rebounds.
(File Photo).
About two years ago, I became friends on Facebook with Ohio State's all-time leading scorer, Dennis Hopson. We chatted several times via the internet, because I was a big fan of his and I went to a lot of Buckeye basketball games at St. John Arena during his career while I attended high school.
Shortly after one of my chats with Hopson, I realized that his No. 32 should hang from the rafters at the Schottenstein Center, so I started a group on Facebook in hopes of getting Hopson's number retired. A year later with less than 100 members in the group, I ended it. I gave up on the notion of seeing a banner in Hopson's name when I go to Ohio State games today.
Now there's a strong push to get Hopson's number retired. Gee, I wonder where they got that idea?
But later it dawned on me that there was another No. 32 that played for Ohio State who I also watched as a youth, and he's just as deserving to be honored. His name is Herbert L. Williams.
Herb Williams, a 6-foot-11, 242-pound center from Marion-Franklin High School on Columbus' south side, was a four-year starter at Ohio State and played in 114 games from 1977-81. He holds career averages of 17.6 and 9.7 rebounds per contest while shooting 49.9 percent from the field.
Playing for head coach Eldon Miller, Williams is the only player in Buckeye history to score more than 2,000 points and pull down more than 1,000 rebounds. He leads in career field goals made with 834. Williams is second all-time in Ohio State history in points (2,011), as he surpassed Jerry Lucas towards the end of the 1980-81 season. Williams is also second all-time in rebounds (1,011), blocked shots (328) and double-doubles (59). It should also be noted, though, that the NCAA has only been compiling statistics for assists since 1984, blocked shots and steals since 1986. So his double-doubles are points and rebounds alone.
Arguably Williams' finest season was his junior year when he was tabbed an All-Big Ten performer and was named as a third-team All-American by the Associated Press after averaging 17.6 and 9.1 rebounds per game. That season, the Buckeyes went 21-8 and advanced to the NCAA West Regional Semifinals before losing to UCLA, 72-68. But his best season, at least statistically, was his sophomore year when he averaged 20.0 points and 10.5 boards per outing.
Williams was a first round selection and 14th pick overall by the Indiana Pacers in the 1981 NBA Draft. He went on to play 18 seasons in the Association, playing for the Pacers, Dallas Mavericks, Toronto Raptors and the New York Knicks. Currently, Williams is an assistant coach under Mike D'Antoni for the Knickerbockers.
During his four years at Ohio State from 1983-87, Hopson averaged 16.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game, though he didn't crack the starting lineup on a regular basis until his sophomore season.
Hopson, a 6-foot-5 swingman from Bowsher High School in Toledo, played for three seasons under head coach Eldon Miller and averaged 5.3 points in 18.7 minutes per game during his freshman year at Ohio State, seeing action in all 29 games and starting nine for the Buckeyes who went 15-14 on the year.
During his sophomore campaign, Hopson earned more playing time and started 21 of the 30 games. He averaged 9.8 points and 4.7 rebounds per game in 25.2 minutes of action with Ohio State winning 20 of their 30 contests that season.
As a junior, Hopson averaged 20.9 points and 5.8 rebounds as Ohio State concluded the season with a 19-14 overall record and held sole possession of seventh place in the Big Ten with an 8-10 mark, which was the worst finish in the conference under Miller since 1976-77, his first year at the helm.
But there were two major changes before Hopson's senior season. First, Ohio State lured away Boston College's Gary Williams to become the Buckeyes' next head coach after Miller was fired. Williams' style of play featured full-court, up-tempo basketball which greatly benefited Hopson. The second major change was the NCAA implementing the three-point shot for the 1986-87 season.
Under new coach Williams, Hopson was nation's second-leading scorer at 29.0 points plus he averaged 8.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. During one stretch that season, Hopson scored 30 or more points in five consecutive games, including 36 against Iowa and 35 against Purdue.
The Buckeyes finished the season with a 20-13 record and earned a bid to the NCAA tournament. As a ninth-seed, Ohio State defeated eighth-seed Kentucky, 91-77, in the first round at The Omni in Atlanta as Hopson scored a team-high 32 points. Unfortunately, the Scarlet and Gray lost to top-seeded Georgetown in the second round, 82-79, after leading by 10 at halftime. Hopson led the Bucks' with 20 points in that game.
Hopson was named the 1987 United Press International Big Ten Player of the Year and was accorded a spot on The Sporting News' All-America team after the season. His 29.0 points per game average that year is third all-time behind Robin Freeman's 32.9 points per game in 1956 and Grady Bradds' 30.6 points per game average in 1964.
Hopson was the third overall selection in the 1987 NBA Draft by the New Jersey Nets and played five seasons in the league with the Nets, Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings before playing overseas for several more seasons. After finishing his degree at Ohio State in 2006, Hopson is an assistant basketball coach at Bowling Green.
Currently, there are four banners hanging from the rafters at Value City Arena with retired numbers that include: No. 5 for John Havlicek, No. 11 for Jerry Lucas, No. 22 for Jim Jackson, and No. 35 for Gray Bradds.
As for the four above, Lucas, Jackson and Bradds were consensus All-Americans that were also named National Player of the Year. And although he didn't make every list in 1962, Havlicek was a first-team All-American selection on both the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) and United Press International (UPI) squads.
Evan Turner, who was a consensus All-American and National Player of the Year in 2010, will likely see his name hanging from the rafters at Value City Arena in the near-future.
But what about Hopson? While there's a strong push to get his number retired, if honor Hopson you also have to include Williams. No one will ever score 2,000 points or snare 1,000 rebounds at Ohio State ever again.

Alyssa Milano's Urgent Quest to Save Suffering Dogs
Milano teamed up with Tonic to prevent a mass euthanasia to be carried out at the Harrison County Dog Pound in Cadiz, OH. The dogs in this facility are living in substandard conditions, kept outside in freezing temperatures, with their only water supply icing over and becoming undrinkable.
In addition to being exposed to the elements, many of the dogs are living in filth and are suffering from medical conditions that have gone untreated. Milano and Tonic are teaming up with California's Gentle Barn foundation to save the lives of these animals, who will be transported by Gentle Barn to a local vet for treatment as soon as foundation representatives arrive at the pound.
While one donor has already provided a generous $5000 to allow the
release of these dogs,they are in desperate need of medical treatment so that they can survive and thrive in the care of their future adoptive homes.
Tonic is just over $500 away from meeting their financial goal, which would provide transport for Gentle Barn rescuers to the pound where the dogs are being held, medical care for the animals, and transportation back to Gentle Barn for any pups who don't find loving homes in Ohio.
You can donate to the cause on Tonic's website or share information about the cause via email, Facebook, or Twitter.

Surely u can't believe that anyone would be damned for eternity for abusing an animal. Not that this type of behavior should not be rectified, but i find it hard to believe anything can be considered "justified behavior" for an eternity of damnation. Use the brain that god gave u.

Allysa thank you for caring enough about animals, to do something to help these poor dogs. I just hate to hear of any animal suffering. Too many people talk about helping, but do nothing.

I get so angry when I hear about abused dogs, breaks my heart. God bless you Alyssa, great thing you are doing.

Bless her and Tonic for saving them. The conditions described turned my stomach as did the photo of the pup trying to get out. It is heartbreaking.
Whoever owns and runs that shelter MUST be fined or jailed for animal abuse.
I hope that 'shelters' are monitored more carefully. These poor babies do not deserve living conditions like that...far from it. They deserve great love, and care.
Most often it is our 4 legged friends, not 2 legged ones who are loyal, and give unconditional love. People have a lot to learn from them.
- Thursday 09 DecemberBy ralonne
I agree, Elizabeth! It breaks my heart to hear of anyone, let alone a g/d animal shelter, mistreating animals in this way. It makes me sick that no one is taking this animal shelter to task for the awful conditions. God bless Alyssa Milano and Popeater for bringing this situation to light.

There are groups of people that help children, the elderly, Veterans, etc. There's people advocating for every group imaginable. It doesn't mean that animal advocates aren't for children's welfare. But the animals are sentient beings and they have no voice so someone has to speak for them.
Btw, shouldn't the U.S. help their own right now instead of sending boatloads of money saving those in other countries when our own are perishing in this economy?

The Twelfth Doctor Titan Comic #1 trailer, October 15
The first number of The Twelfth Doctor Titan Comic will be releases just a few days from now. Whovian, get them!
Offering shocks, surprises, and galaxy-shaking revelations, seasoned TARDIS pilot Robbie Morrison (Drowntown, The Authority, 2000AD, Nikolai Dante) and New York Times-bestselling artist Dave Taylor (Batman: Death by Design; 2000AD) mark the start of their first five-issue run by diving headfirst into the console room and pulling all the levers they can – spinning the new Doctor off to his most challenging destination yet!
Freshly regenerated and with a new head full of unanswered questions, the Doctor (as played by Peter Capaldi) whisks Clara Oswald (as played by Jenna Coleman) away to a strange and distant world.
Clara thought she was in for an evening of marking essays on the Metaphysical Poets, followed by going out on a date – or at least trying to. You know, normal stuff.
Instead, she's facing down exotic flora and fauna in her best dress, backing up the Doctor on a trek through traumatically alien undergrowth – and she doesn't even know what the Doctor is searching for, or what will try to kill them should they find it!
New Face! New Doctor! New Beginning! Get in on the ground floor of this amazing ongoing series!

Gabriella Gonzalez is stuck in a dead-end job in her family's New York Laundromat, dreaming of college and bigger, better and brighter things. So when a strange man with an even stranger big blue box barges into her life on the eve of the Day of the Dead celebrations — talking about an infestation of psychic aliens — she seizes her chance for adventure with both hands!
Featuring previously-unseen artwork from Simon Fraser, the Eleventh Doctor trailer sees images of Matt Smith's Doctor and new companion Alice Obiefune – a young woman grieving for the loss of her mother – running down a space-age looking corridor. Alice Obiefune has just lost her mother when the Doctor explodes into her life. But what does this grieving young woman have to do with the career of a 70s musician, an amnesiac alien, and a terrifying cosmic threat? In the wake of the second Big Bang, find out what the Doctor gets up to when Amy and Rory aren't around!

Writers and directors for series 8
Steven Thompson, the guy who wrote The Curse of the Black Spot back in 2011 and Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS last year, was confirmed to return to Doctor Who and he will wrote some more great episode of the series 8. It's the first time he's written for new Doctor, Peter Capaldi.
Douglas MacKinnon is also returning to Doctor Who, in order to direct a batch of the new episodes. Showrunner Steven Moffat confirmed that will write the series opener as well as episode four. Phil Ford (The Sarah Jane Adventures, Wizards vs Aliens) has been tapped to write the second episode, while the writer of the third will be confirmed in the future
Meantime, the writer Mark Gatiss has promised that Peter Capaldi's Doctor will change everything and that he brings a whole new set of rules. As it should be. Speaking to Digital Spy, he said: "The Doctor's always the Doctor – but you can have a lot of fun playing with people's expectations. Everyone knows how the previous Doctor would react in any given situation – and now you just don't know!" Steven Moffat has written Capaldi's first full Doctor Who episode, which Mark Gatiss described as "thrilling".

Karen Gillan will star in US comedy pilot Selfie
Karen Gillan has been spending a lot of time in United States since leaving her role as Doctor Who's Amy Pond: she faced a haunted mirror in US horror film Oculus, she also shaved her long ginger locks for the role of blue sexy Nebula in the upcoming Marvel Studios movie Guardians of the Galaxy and now she's set to take the starring role in a new ABC comedy pilot entitled Selfie.
The series was described as a modern take on My Fair Lady, and it follows the misfortunes of Eliza Dooley, a young woman in her 20s who seems to be more obsessed with her online persona than her professional image. In the pilot, a video Eliza makes about her humiliating break-up goes viral, and she recruits the help of a marketing expert to help repair her besmirched reputation.

Respond to Review of Paprika
by Tara HD
Review: A beautiful place with very nice staff. The tapas (olives) were incredible as were the spring roles we ordered as starters. As main dishes we had the Fajita and Thai Curry. The Fajita was with a lot more Seitan than I usually like but it tasted really good. The Thai Curry was rather mediocre. It contained soy sauce (which is really out of place in a Thai Curry), very little coconut milk and the vegetables were partly burnt. Altogether it was a good experience (and definitely the best I had in all of Andalusia), a little pricey and with some space for improvement. Updated from previous review on Tuesday January 17, 2012

Google's floating cellular network and MVNO expected
Google's SVP of Products, Sundar Pichai, confirmed in his speech at MWC that the OTT giant is in advanced testing of its floating cellular network, consisting of inflatable balloons and lightweight solar-powered planes. Projects "Loon" and "Titan", respectively, are in the early phases of testing, but Pichai believes the two projects will provide a portable "mesh of floating cell towers". He also confirmed the long-anticipated rumour that Google is looking to launch an MVNO in the US.

disease) and seven separate evaluation sets: disability, employment, quality of life, functional capacity, treatment outcomes, severity of impairment, and comorbidities.
Unique terms were identified in each subject area to yield a wide array of results. Strategy parameters included limiting the search to human subjects, the English language, and publication years from 1980 to October 2009. This time period was chosen to ensure the most relevant studies were captured that examined employment capability of populations with cardiovascular conditions. For those evaluation sets reviewing functional capacity, treatment outcomes, and severity of impairment, the parameters were further limited to results published from 2004 to focus on the most recent medical and science literature.
The secondary strategy of the literature review involved reviewing key articles' cited references. Additionally, the PubMed database was searched using Boolean logic with the main term of cardiovascular and key terms related to employment, that is, return to work. Studies were published from 1966 to 2009. Other literature supplemented the body of relevant research supporting the committee's research and report writing, resulting from targeted searches performed on an ad hoc basis to answer specific research questions.
A tiered category system was developed to refine results. A rigorous review of study titles and abstracts determined which studies met the inclusion criteria. Each study was coded according to the corresponding tier (see Box B-1). The primary search strategy yielded 85 studies in Tier 1; after removing duplicate articles produced from the primary search strategy, the secondary strategy yielded an additional 88 studies, for a total of 173 Tier 1 studies. To refine these results, the parameters were further limited to focus on studies published between 2004 and 2009, producing the final results of the literature review of 35 Tier 1 articles. Table B-1 provides a more detailed review of the final Tier 1 studies.
An additional 674 articles were identified as Tier 2 articles, which were reviewed to potentially inform the broader parameters affecting functional capacity of populations with cardiovascular diseases leading to disability. These parameters include relative quality of life (with specific measurements for health-related quality of life), comorbid conditions, gender comparisons, and assessments of treatments for cardiovascular conditions or associated conditions that may lead to disability or impairment. The committee determined the Tier 2 studies were not immediately relevant to the statement of work, and few of the studies were included in the final report. The remaining studies were categorized as Tier 3 and 4 studies. Tier 3 stud-

Stormwater as a Source of Drinking Water: The Example of LA
The New York Times recently heralded efforts in Southern California to turn stormwater into drinking water: "Even in this water-starved region, storm and other runoff has become the primary source of water pollution. . . But now, local officials are trying to deal with runoff pollution and another problem — the lack of drinking water — with an ambitious plan to make the runoff drinkable."
This effort seems inspired by the same sort of thrifty ingenuity that towns like Wichita Falls have shown in pursuing technologies that would turn sewage into potable water. And it would seem to have natural appeal in drought-plagued Texas.
The California plan would promote property design features that retain water onsite. These features are sometimes referred to as "low-impact development" or "green infrastructure." The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has published green infrastructure guides for several cities, but Texas has not been a leader in this area.
The current drought and the pessimistic projections of the State Water Plan have inspired, at least for now, a sober conservation-mindedness that could come to embrace green infrastructure and its potential to recharge aquifers, which supply about 60 percent of the water used in the state. If so, Texas may want to learn from the experiences of Los Angeles.
Groundwater accounts for 40 percent of the drinking water in California, and Los Angeles County has been using stormwater to replenish basins for more than forty years. Currently, the amount of water that the county derives from blending stormwater would cost about $120 million a year if purchased from a wholesaler. Still, much stormwater goes unused: in the wet season, Los Angeles discharges about 100 million gallons into the ocean each day.
With population growth and climate change expected to worsen scarcity issues, the region is coming to see greater value in stormwater. In 2009, the California legislature found: "Stormwater, properly managed, can contribute significantly to local water supplies through onsite storage and reuse, or letting it percolate into the ground to recharge groundwater, thereby increasing available supplies of drinking water."
Green infrastructure – which could include all kinds of site design features, from permeable pavement to constructed wetlands – gives local governments a means of capturing stormwater and seeping it into basins. The EPA describes green infrastructure thusly: "Unlike single-purpose gray stormwater infrastructure, which uses pipes to dispose of rainwater, green infrastructure uses vegetation and soil to manage rainwater where it falls. By weaving natural processes into the built environment, green infrastructure provides not only stormwater management, but also flood mitigation, air quality management, and much more."
Collectively, green infrastructure improvements may cost less than new sewage treatment plants – and, in arid precincts like Southern California, less than the infrastructure needed to import or desalinate new sources of water. On a social level, they may produce public health, environmental and recreational benefits that outweigh costs. But for individual property owners, installing green infrastructure can be expensive.
Last fall, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board – an arm of the California agency responsible for implementing the Clean Water Act – adopted new stormwater regulations that allow regulators to fine local governments that exceed pollution control limits.
Property owners and officials from financially challenged cities have complained about the costs of compliance. The City of Los Angeles, which observers have repeatedly warned is on the verge of bankruptcy, predicted that compliance costs would total between $5 billion and $8 billion over the next twenty years.
To help local governments meet the costs, and to avoid irking regulators, Los Angeles County – which has a population of 9.9 million and already spends about $350 million a year on stormwater – proposed a parcel fee on property owners that was intended to raise $290 million annually. The county called its proposed fee the "Clean Water, Clean Beaches Fee," emphasizing the policy rationale that environmentalists have use to push for stormwater reductions.
But opposition has been strong and the future of the fee is uncertain. And even if the fee passes, there are legal and financial challenges to implementing green infrastructure on a broad scale. In Los Angeles County, as in most of the country, property owners have no financial incentive to retain stormwater; they are not charged more based on the amount of stormwater they channel into the municipal sewer system.
One solution would be to internalize the costs of stormwater. Philadelphia, for instance, has adopted a rate structure based upon the effective impervious area of a particular parcel (since perviousness is a reasonable proxy for the percent of rainwater that will be retained onsite).
Another would be to adopt green building codes that require new developments to include green infrastructure design features. Such an approach could help to avoid the added costs of retrofitting and would be particularly influential in high-growth areas where the built environment is just beginning to take shape.

Not that ole jimbo would like anything the Reds did anyway.
Compares the trade to the mlb equivalent of the Herchel Walker trade.

Compares the trade to the mlb equivalent of the Herchel Walker trade.
Note the Nationals signed Jersey and Patriotic/DC displays in his office. Bowden does nothing other than try to bury the Reds on every chance he gets.
Quite honestly - he's lucky to have a job at ESPN after getting investigated by the Feds.
We did not trade anyone that was a lock to start in 2012, we got a solid front line starter.
Ugh. A lot of things about his stupidity.
1.) Boxberger IS NOT a starter. Nobody around even projects him as such. Well, except for Bowdumb.
2.) The only reason he likes this trade from a Padres standpoint, is it's a rebuilding move. Thats all he knows, and he wasn't even ever really at that. (2003 anyone?)
"It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."
I'm not a man of many words. Read my posts, and you'll see what I mean.
Some people are Optimists (They see the glass 1/2 full).
Others are Pessimists (They see the glass 1/2 empty).
Me, I'm a Realist. 1/2 empty IS 1/2 full.
If he hates it makes me more likely to think we robbed them
The older I get - the better I was
and yes - I hate the Cardinals (Reds fan since 1958)
This from the guy who traded a washed up Paul O`Neill for Roberto Kelly.
Well I think the Padres did really well, but I'm not complaining as a Reds fan either. The Padres got two guys from the major league roster, one of whom hasn't been good since July 2008. The other guys have potential, but are unproven, and much as I would have liked Boxberger in the bullpen this year, I'm not going to be too upset over losing a closer. I think the Reds overpaid, but they overpaid with guys that had limited value to the major league roster. Alonso and Grandal were blocked at their natural positions. Grandal could only play catcher of 1st, so he was never going to be in a Reds uniform. And they got back a TOR starter under control for 4 years. So I think this trade dramatically improves the major league roster.

With his long history of success as a MLB GM I take his opinion very seriously.
I hate to say this, but we paid way too muchfor Latos, I like him, and think he is an awesome pitcher, but I don't think Volquuez was done, Yonder is going to be a stud and Votto might not even sign with the Reds in a few years.
Bowled 9 300 games, semi-retired!
Nothing like bowling a 300 game
I just can't fathom people injecting Votto's future signability into the equation as a cause for dislike here. He is signed for three more years. If he were to walk at that time, Alonso would be going on 29 years old. If he doesn't resign, there will be money in the budget to sign another talented player. Also, in the next 3 seasons, who is to say the Reds don't draft another college firstbaseman who will be ready for the majors after a year or two?
If your concern is Votto leaving, what is your answer to that concern? Trade him, put Alonso at first and then worry about extending Alonso in a few years? Play Alonso in LF and if Votto walks in 3 years, move him to first base and encounter the exact same issue of wondering if you can resign him?
(Referring to Jack Hannahan signing with a Korean team)
Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.
