Most every night before I hit the hay, I crawl into bed and spend some quality time catching up on the days events via Flipboard. Every once in awhile I'll come across a post that I can not wait to try, and Super Bowl Sunday gave me the perfect excuse to whip up a 7 layer Greek dip I read about a few months back. Taking inspiration from this blog post and this recipe I created this gem of a dip.
7 Layer Greek Dip
Step One: Spread a thick layer of Hummus onto the bottom of your dip pan.
Step Two: Chop 1/2 large onion, 1 cucumber, parsley, 1/2 cup Kalamata Olives, 1 red bell pepper, and crumble 4 oz of feta cheese.
Step Three: Layer each ingredient on top of the hummus.
Step Four (optional): Squeeze juice from half of a lemon on top of the dip and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
Serve with pita chips or warm pita bread.

The State College for Colored Students began the institution's history in 1892 with only three buildings — one somewhat substantial mansion structure (by the 1700s standard) and a hastily built president's cottage and carpentry building.
By 1952 — about 60 years later — Delaware State College's growth in physical infrastructure can barely be called modest, as there were just over 20 buildings on campus, but only seven could be called substantial structures.
Fast-forward another 61 years, and to the amazement of residents who have watched the institution's expansion over the last six decades and the alumni who return to their alma mater after many years, DSU has developed into an impressive physical plant.
The development of DSU throughout its 122-year history reflects the degree to which the state of Delaware financially supported the institution it created — inconsistently low levels of state financial support during its first six decades, followed by much more consistent and unprecedented levels of major capital improvement funding.
Of the seven substantial buildings on campus in 1952, state funding paid for only four of them. Loockerman Hall, the former Main College Building, was part of the state's original 1891 purchase of the property and was paid for out of the $8,000 allocated to establish the institution; 10 years later, the state earmarked $6,000 for the construction of Lore Hall, a women's dorm.
It would be more than 20 years before the state would yield any capital improvement funding for the College. In the 1920s, the state allocated a then-unprecedented $275,000 for the construction of Delaware Hall, an administration/classroom building, and Conrad Hall, a cafeteria. Any hopes, however, that the capital improvement funding might signal a new supportive attitude among legislators was disappointed by the next 20 years in which no new construction money would come from the state.
The Library was originally built with funding College President William C. Jason raised. The DuPont Building (the high school on campus) and the President's Residence were both built with money from philanthropist Pierre du Pont.
The 1950s would be the beginning of improved state financial support for the infrastructure growth of the institution. Over the next 60 years (1953 to present), the number of buildings on campus would double.
The dramatic physical plant increase during the second half of the institution's history began with the completion of Tubman Hall in 1953. However, the improved relationship between the state legislature and DSC under the leadership of President Jerome Holland (1953-60) is what established a more favorable environment for infrastructure growth.
That relationship with the state would continue in subsequent DSC administrations, which would also be a factor in the institution's increase in enrollment from a few hundred students in the 1950s to the current 4,000-plus students.
The increase in physical infrastructure would keep pace with the growing enrollment, with a prolific construction agenda over the last six decades that included the Mishoe Science Center, two Martin Luther King Jr. Student Centers, a Bank of America Building for the College of Business, a Cooperative Extension/Herbarium Building and a Wellness & Recreation Center, just to name a few of the 40-plus buildings on DSU's main campus.
Holland and his successors, Dr. Luna I. Mishoe, Dr. William B. DeLauder, Dr. Allen L. Sessoms and Dr. Harry L. Williams, can all be credited with the leadership to continue the favorable relationship with the state and the expansion of the University.
Under Williams' leadership, the growth is continuing. The University has received a $10 million allocation from the state for the construction of an Optical Science Center for Applied Research (OSCAR) Building. In addition, in 2013 DSU is completing its work in crafting a new Facilities Master Plan that will guide the University in its future construction projects.

I also think it is unfair for so many people to immediately "attack" people who are thinking of breeding their own horses rather than offering advice as it is asked for.
IMO, the unwanted horse population is flooded due to people breeding tons of horses out in a pasture, then later dumping them in an auction, or people breeding a bunch of horses in quantity, not quality, to sell their foals for $200.
The group of people who are thinking about breeding one mare and care enough to come talk to strangers about it in a forum, aren't the problem.
They are a very small percentage vs. the mass amount of TB's bred to run then thrown away when crippled or too slow(or similar circumstances such as this), the foals off mares who were only bred to lactate or for their pee, and like I said above, the people who have a BUNCH of horses and breed absolute crap to crap.

Mitt Romney: The Romney Plan
Transcript: Mitt Romney: "My plan is to help the middle class. Trade has to work for America. That means crack down on cheaters like China. It means open up new markets. Next, got to balance the budget. You've got to cut the deficit. You've got to stop spending more money than we take in.
"And finally, champion small business. Have tax policies, regulations and health-care policies that help small business. We put those in place, we'll add 12 million new jobs in four years."
Analysis: Two ads released by the Romney campaign try to turn the conversation to the economy, after a week focused on foreign policy because of the assassination of the U.S. ambassador to Libya. In this ad, Romney talks about his economic proposals, though not with many details, and makes a specific promise to create 12 million jobs:
Trade: Romney told the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce he would initiate new trade agreements with Latin America.
Budget: Romney says his proposals for tax cuts and spending cuts are supposed to balance the budget in eight to 10 years.
Spending: Romney has said he will cut federal spending to 20 percent of gross domestic product, down from the current 23 percent. He hasn't outlined exactly what he will cut, though he has indicated that the Department of Housing and Urban Development may be a target. To offset his proposed tax cuts, Romney says he will eliminate unspecified tax deductions. Romney also said he would cut the size of the federal work force by 10 percent.
Small business: Romney's tax proposal would cut business taxes . Romney regularly mentions burdensome regulation on small businesses but has not been specific about what he would change other than promising to "repeal and replace" the Obama health-care legislation.
Economic forecasters vary on job growth predictions: The Congressional Budget Office predicts employment growth of 9 million jobs by 2016, but Moody's Analytics, an economic research firm, forecasts growth of 12 million jobs. So it's hard to tell whether Romney's promise to create 12 million jobs is a bold pledge or a plan to take credit for what may happen anyway.
The campaign wouldn't say where the ad will run - but analyses of ad spending so far show the campaign is focusing its effort on swing states including Florida, Ohio and Virginia.

Two new singles by Beyoncé premiered on the radio Wednesday (October 8) in advance of the November 18 release of her upcoming album, I Am … . One is the dance track "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and the other is a more introspective ballad called "If I Were a Boy" — two songs that represent two different sides of the singer, as she suggested in a letter to fans last week.
The singer recently opened up to Essence magazine about some of the influences on the album, which include hubby Jay-Z and playing Etta James in the movie "Cadillac Records."
B recorded 60 to 70 songs for the album (only 10 made the cut), but 40 of them turned out to be about love, she said. "There's a balance," she told the magazine. Meaning the love is reciprocated? "Yeah," she giggled. "Definitely."
While "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" acts sonically as a sequel to "Get Me Bodied," "If I Were a Boy" is unlike anything Beyoncé has done before. "It's broad," she told Essence. "But I had to try it, because I remember Aretha Franklin said a great singer can sing anything and make it her own."
B also decided to follow the example of Etta James and broaden her horizons. "Etta expressed herself; she was bold," Beyoncé said. "That inspired me to do a lot of things musically that no one else is doing."
Etta also inspired her to do a lot of things in her acting career that she's never done before. To prep for "Cadillac Records," B took a trip to a Brooklyn rehab to visit drug addicts. The work paid off, she said. "This is the first time I felt that naked and vulnerable acting," she told Essence. "After I finished the scene, me, my mom, my acting coach, [my cousin and executive assistant] Angie, we were all just jumping up and down, like, 'Oh my God, that was it!' "
And she stretches beyond playing singers (as she's also done in "Fighting Temptations" and "Dreamgirls") for her first thriller, "Obsessed," in which she brawls with "Heroes" star Ali Larter.
"At first it was choreographed as more of a catfight," B said, "but we were like, 'This is not how a woman would fight if she's protecting her family.' Now it's very intense."

L'Afrique du siècle des Lumières: savoirs et représentations
(Studies on Voltaire and the Eighteenth Century, 2009)
In French. During the eighteenth century, certain representations of Africa and Africans were affirmed as authentic even as the continent and its inhabitants remained largely unknown. To analyze this paradox, a group of specialists examine representations of Africa and Africans from two perspectives. They seek to understand how fictions about Africa were rooted in travel literature presented as "true accounts," and how these influenced people's behavior, spurring on both the impulse to colonize Africa and to free the slaves. More than an inventory of descriptions of Africa, this interdisciplinary and abundantly illustrated volume offers a reflection on these representations—their roots, ideologies, and dissemination. Michèle Bocquillon (Hunter College) is an associate professor of French at the Graduate Center.

Fever in Adults (cont.)
Follow-up for Fever in Adults
Most fevers will go away in a few days with the appropriate treatment. It is important to follow up with a health-care professional to be sure the cause of the fever is treated correctly. This may be done in a few days to weeks after the initial visit, depending on the cause.
If symptoms worsen, if the fever continues for more than three days despite treatment, or if the fever lasts longer than a week without treatment, see the doctor immediately.
Follow-up is very important especially for people with fevers due to cancer, drug-induced fevers, infectious causes, FUOs, or hormone problems, since these people may experience relapses and repeated treatments. In some cases, hospitalization may be required.

Murray sent packing by ChardyComment on this story
Mason, Ohio - Olympic champion Andy Murray suffered a second pre-US Open setback in as many weeks when he was knocked out of the Cincinnati Open in the third round on Thursday losing 6-4, 6-4 to France's Jeremy Chardy.
World number one Roger Federer, in contrast, needed just 62 minutes to get by 19-year-old Australian Bernard Tomic 6-2, 6-4 and book his spot in the quarter-finals.
Murray, the defending tournament champion who pulled out of last week's Toronto Masters with a knee injury after his opening match, never looked himself as he was broken in the seventh game of the first set by Chardy, who is in the draw as a lucky loser.
Neither player could hold serve in the opening five games of the second set but Chardy held firm to go up 4-2 and never looked back in the 98-minute match.
Chardy, ranked 38th, has been in good form of late beating American Andy Roddick in the first round in Cincinnati after defeating compatriot and world number six Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Toronto last week.
The 25-year-old took full advantage of Murray's less-than-potent serve and unforced errors for his first win against the Scotsman in five attempts.
"I didn't serve particularly well. I got broken three times in the second set, which isn't good enough. I broke him a couple of times in the second," said Murray.
"I had a lot of close games on his serve in the first and second set and didn't convert enough chances, and, yeah, I didn't serve well enough."
Murray will head to the August 27 to September 9 US Open with just three hardcourt games under his belt since his Olympic triumph on the grass courts at the All England Club but he says he is not worried about lack of preparation before Flushing Meadows.
"I won't play any more matches. Going into the big tournaments, sometimes I've won tournaments in the buildup and it hasn't helped me and then this year Wimbledon I lost in the first round at Queen's and made the final there for the first time," said Murray.
"So it doesn't normally have that much bearing. But, you know, obviously I would have liked to have done a bit better this week."
Chardy will now next face Argentine Juan Martin del Potro who fought past Serb Viktor Troicki 7-6, 2-6, 6-1.
Federer will face American Mardy Fish who defeated Czech Radek Stepanek 6-3, 6-3 in a repeat of the 2010 final here.
"It's his kind of surface, he's at home in America and so I am going to have my hands full," Federer said of Fish. - Reuters

Trojans have high hopes for 2012 seasonBy: Matt Long Telegraph Sports Editor
After winning a playoff game last year for the first time since 2004, Oak Ridge High's varsity football team hopes to take the next step and win a couple postseason games this season. While a few postseason wins is the long-term goal, for starters the Trojans want to start the season off with a win over Vista del Lago on Friday in Folsom. With steady, improved play each week, coach Eric Cavaliere feels the team will achieve its goals. "If we stay healthy and be consistent, I think we'll be there in the postseason," Cavaliere said. "There are times when we can be good and there are times when we can be not very good. I expect to compete for a league title and be there in the playoffs and cause some damage, but we're going to take it one game at a time." If there's a word to describe the Trojans at this point of the season it's inexperienced. Oak Ridge has only three returning starters on offense and two on defense. Two of those starters on offense are senior twin tackles Hekoti Chapman (6'4", 300) and Tuita Chapman (6'4", 290). Both are three-year starters and Oak Ridge's success up front begins with them. The team's only other returning starter on offense is senior quarterback Jason Samuels (6'4", 185). Samuels and the Trojans were off to a good start a year ago before he separated his shoulder and missed the last five regular-season games and the playoff opener against Burbank. Cavaliere and the Trojans are hoping to have a healthy Samuels all season long. "Jason's done a really good job and has worked hard," Cavaliere said. "He's very good between the ears. He knows the offense; he knows the reads and he's accurate. Where he's made big strides is with his body. He found the weight room and put on some weight. I bet he's gained 15 pounds and he's a lot stronger and more physical now. He's any excellent player who will be playing at a college next year and we're looking forward to having him for a whole season." Junior Josh Wellman (5'9", 180) and senior Blake Martin (6'0", 195) will share the tailback position, while junior Tanner Hughes (6'1", 220) and senior Jericho Hallare (5'9", 175) will split time at fullback. Seniors Byron Spain (6'3", 193) and Bradford Buenzli (6'0, 185) and junior Jacob Sipes (6'4", 175) leads the receivers, while senior Ross Dwelley (6'5", 200) and junior Trent Buenzli (6'0, 200) will hold down the tight end position. Joining the Chapman's on the line are senior guards Kareem Ballal (6'1", 255) and Jacob Proul (6'1", 275). Junior Kyler Flynn (5'11", 185) or senior Tyler Baker (5'11", 225) will be the starter at center. "The success of our offense will come down to the big guys up front and whether they can take over a game," Cavaliere said. Senior Zack Claiborne (6'1", 195) is a returning starter on defense and the team's only returning all-Delta League player. He will lead the defense as a starting outside linebacker. Proul is a returning starter on the defensive line and he and the Chapman brothers, Ballal and senior Eli English (6'3" 210) will anchor the defensive line. Junior Cory Gregersen (6'3", 210) will play opposite of Claiborne, while the inside linebacker positions will be held down by senior Nick Gordon (6'1", 175) and junior Thomas Mahlman (6'1", 190). Senior Chad Augood (5'9", 170) will start at one corner, while either Martin, Brad Buenzli or junior Victor Bunce (5'10", 150) will hold down the other side. Sipes and junior Colton Giorgi (6'0", 180) will start at safety with Hallare also seeing playing time. While the defensive unit is inexperienced, Cavaliere says the defense has a lot of upside. "With the graduation of Roman Andrus, Preston Dean and Jake Rosada and the entire secondary, we have huge question marks on defense," Cavaliere said. "But I feel very good with what we have. The front seven, as a unit, is working better together than we were last year at this point. The senior class has really stepped up." Coming off a successful season a year ago, the Trojans hope to pick up where they left off last season. "We made a lot of progress as a team and got over the hump with a playoff victory that we hadn't had in a long time," Cavaliere said. "We got knocked out by the team (Granite Bay) that went on to win it all and that was game was within a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter." The road to the postseason, however, won't be an easy one. In the ever competitive Delta River League, the Trojans have their work cut out for themselves. "The teams at the bottom of our league would be playoff teams in any other league," Cavaliere said. "Pleasant Grove is unbelievably talented and well coached. Folsom seems to have a 4,000-yard passer every year and their offensive line does a great job of protecting him. They're well coached and very dangerous and explosive. Jesuit will have a shot of adrenaline with a new coach with a De La Salle pedigree and I'm sure they will be better than last year. Ponderosa is always a big game for us and we're 0-3 versus Sheldon and that's got to change for us to get over the hump. We want to play for a league championship and make the postseason and if we get there it's a whole new season and everyone is 0-0."

How absurd that the Executive Committee of the El Paso Democratic Party wants the state and national parties to exile two members for supporting a Republican. While so many Americans are calling for more bipartisanship in government, our clique of old party regulars has denounced El Paso Democratic state Reps. Marisa Marquez and Naomi Gonzalez for supporting El Paso teammate Republican Dee Margo. The three have been members of our six-person delegation to Austin the past two years. Margo is the lone Republican.
We feel this is petty. It comes from a small group that was unable to elect its slate of candidates in the May primary, including an effort to defeat Marquez in District 77.
Marquez, Gonzalez and Margo have been working on projects together the past two years. This go-around, Margo is being challenged by Democrat Joe Moody, who had served District 78 for one term before losing to Margo.
We are also disappointed that several Democratic clubs in El Paso back the party's executive committee. We are tying to advance our agendas in Texas and rid ourselves of a reputation as in-fighters. Our own fought among our own. We didn't get a whole lot accomplished.
Party Chairman Rick Melendrez embarrasses us with this news release: "We therefore denounce these actions and request from the State and National parties that any privileges and benefits accorded Marquez and Gonzalez as Democrats be removed and their party affiliation be anything other than Democrat."
We felt our five state reps and state senator worked well as a team last session. And in one particular area, transparency in government, Marquez worked will with El Paso leaders.
We also saw that Margo, as a freshman legislator, and in a Republican-dominated House, was immediately given a seat on the powerful House Appropriations Committee.
We don't expect the El Paso Democratic Party's request to exile Marquez and Gonzalez will even be considered. State Democratic Party Chairman Gilbert Hinojosa said, "I'm not sure I have the authority to deny a Democratic elected official any of the services that the Texas Democratic Party provides."
At least not in the case of a Democrat saying nice things about a Republican on a Republican's campaign flier. They called him a team player. They did not say they are endorsing Margo over fellow Democrat Moody.
Team player. It's time the official Democratic Party in El Paso thought in terms of team player.

Cathodic delamination of marine hardware: Causes and mitigation strategies
Tom Ramotowski, Ph.D.
NAVSEA Warfare Center Newport
Wednesday, April 6, 2005
Pacific Forum – 3:00 p.m.
Anyone interested in designing or building hardware, devices, or vehicles for marine use needs to be concerned about "cathodic delamination", a phenomenon responsible for many of the bonding/adhesion failures observed between metal and polymer substrates in the ocean. Cathodic potentials applied to metal substrates to prevent seawater-induced corrosion initiate the delamination. Understanding the mechanism of cathodic delamination is important so that mitigation strategies can be developed and implemented. "Accelerated life testing" (ALT)— a technique in which temperature increases are used to accelerate the rate of a degradation process—has proven useful in this regard. This presentation will introduce the concept of cathodic delamination, and discuss technical issues related to cathodic delamination ALT. The presentation concludes with a review of mitigation strategies currently being employed or considered by the U.S. Navy to reduce maintenance costs and increase the useful service life of hardware in the marine environment subject to cathodic delamination.

Where to eat
JoZoaras Coffee Shop
536 N. Thompson Lane
MURFREESBORO — Danny and Jane Ogg like to say they adopted JoZoaras Coffee Shop in the Oaks Shopping Center. As the new owners, they are bringing some new things to the table.
When the previous owner was looking to sell, the Oggs just happen to be in the market for a venue to market their new line of allergy-conscious foods, Handle with Care.
This is a unique place, said Danny Ogg, who has been in restaurant management for more than 15 years. We are in a good place, and it is just perfect. Everything is working out, and it is great.
Jane Ogg explained that their story starts with their son who was very sick as a small child. Upon learning that he was allergic to peanuts, wheat, soy, nuts, shellfish, as well as corn, pork, beans, potatoes, turkey and beef, she was baffled at where to turn to next.
We had no idea how to cook for or feed him, she said. Our goal was to make sure my son didnt feel isolated because he couldnt have what other kids were eating. We wanted to make his food look as much like every other kids food. It was lots and lots of trial and error.
The end result was a line of food that is vegan and allergy friendly, because it is wheat and gluten free, as well as lacking soy, nut, and potatoes.
There are muffins, cookies and more that are perfect for those with allergies, and delicious options for vegans as well.
But other than adding the new food options, there is little that is changing from the original JoZoaras atmosphere and menu.
We dont want peopel to feel any different. We want to carry on the legacy that we adopted, Jane Ogg said. I like to think of this as a little community center.
On the menu: Well, of course there is coffee, both iced and hot, but JoZoara is so much more than just a cup of joe. There is fruit and flavored teas, again hot or cold, and desserts, as well as sandwiches, bagels, muffins and more. There are paninis and soups, too.
The Teresa, which is named after the former JoZoara owner, has smoked turkey, cucumbers and sprouts, on toasted focaccia bread with a signature dill, pesto and cream cheese spread.
Whats the cost: Sandwiches and paninis are $5, and sides, which include potato salad, chips, fruit, veggies or parfait are between $1 and $2.25.
Breakfast sandwiches are $4, and bagels are $1.50. Muffins are $1 more.
Desserts are $5 or less per serving and include cheesecake, scones, pies, brownies, cinnamon rolls and more.
What to know: JoZoara Coffee Shop has live music on Tuesday and Thursday each week, and a game night on Friday. Families are encouraged to come play a provided board game or bring their own.
New to the JoZoara line up is catering, which can be ordered from the everyday menu or customized for your meeting or event. Call for details.
Hours of operation: 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday

All government departments will have to encrypt important information held on discs, USB sticks or laptops following a wide-ranging review of government security practices by the Cabinet Office.
Other measures to be put in place across government include compulsory penetration testing of departments' networks, mandatory security training for civil servants and privacy impact assessments for all service delivery projects.
Information security will also become part of the gateway review process, which examine the potential risks of government projects before they proceed.
The work was commissioned following the loss of two unencrypted discs containing the child benefit records of 25 million families, and is published on the same day as the Poynter Review into that incident, as well as the Burton Review into the loss of a Ministry of Defence laptop.
Cabinet secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell said the report aims to give government a framework to improve the way citizens' data is protected.
"Although no organisation, public or private, can ever guarantee that it will never make a mistake, I believe the measures we are announcing today will ensure the public can be assured we are taking the necessary measures to keep people's data secure," he said.
The safeguards will also be worked into contracts with private sector companies undertaking government work that may comprise access to citizens' information.
The Information Commissioner welcomed the moves.

Many of my faves have already been mentioned. Here are a few others you might want to watch for:
Quady 'Starboard' - http://tinyurl.com/d4ufcy
IMO a heckuva nice US dessert wine, named Starboard when the European market objected to Quady calling it Port. Their 88 is usually what I buy.
Hogue Late Harvest Riesling
Late Harvest is roughly the same as a Spatlese (depending on who's making it) Hogue LH is an excellent value - I buy it at Costco and it's a good 2nd bottle to open w/a cheese plate. I've also poached pears in this and had good results, or splashed the last part of a bottle over a fruit salad. FWIW I liked it better several years ago before ownership changed, but then again...I liked ME a lot better back then as well.
OZ tawny ports have been mentioned, another contender is the Penfolds Club tawny, and their Club Reserve tawny...both are good bargains, the reserve is well worth the extra $. Their Grandfather tawny is great, but frankly priced out of my league. Get the very tasty Club Reserve and spend the money you save on bourbon.
Niepoort LBV and tawny when I find a sale.
Let me also mention...Missouri dessert wines. They can't grow very many of the classic wine grapes in MO but they can grow some excellent hybrids. Those hybrid grapes may never push the classics off the shelf when making dry wine, but they CAN make some top notch dessert wines. Doug Frost, a KC wine writer I respect, has said that Missouri dessert wines are some of the best he's ever tasted anywhere. Augusta's Vintage Port is a personal fave, Stone Hill Late Harvest Vignoles another. So give them an honest try if you get the chance, you'll probably be surprised. They seldom beat the Aussies or Hogue Late Harvest for value, but if you're passing thru the area keep them in mind.

Dallas Cowboys' draft could affect Doug Free's future with the franchise
IRVING — Doug Free underperformed significantly last season and what the Dallas Cowboys do in this week's draft could impact Free's future with the franchise.
To close Monday's mandatory pre-draft press conference, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones was asked about the 29-year-old right tackle.
"I think it's notable that we haven't said where we are and he hasn't said where he is relative to his status as we go into this draft," Jones said. "That's by design and certainly we wanted to see how and what we do in the draft.
"We were talking about it as late as this morning. If you draft a tackle, how does that impact a player like Doug, whether or not you move him around? I'm sure he's looking at it there as well."
Last season, Free led the team in penalties, totaling eight false starts and seven offensive holdings. ProFootballFocus ranked Free 66th among NFL tackles last season and he was so underwhelming that by the end of the year he was splitting time with Jermey Parnell.
The worst part for the Cowboys is that Free is due $7 million in 2013 and $8 million in each of the next three seasons. It has been reported that the Cowboys would like Free to take a pay cut.
If that doesn't occur, Free will be the seventh-highest paid tackle in the NFL this year and the fourth-highest paid in 2014.
If the Cowboys choose to cut Free, they could elect to sign a free agent right tackle like Eric Winston or Tyson Clabo. Another option would be to use their first-round draft pick (No. 18 overall) to take an offensive tackle like Alabama's D.J. Fluker or Florida State's Menelik Watson.

The Rangers alumni hit the ice at 2:30 on the nose to a chorus of boos. For those tracking at home, John Vanbiesbrouck led the team onto the ice, so he'll be getting the start from coach Mike Keenan.
The Flyers came on right after and as you can imagine, the cheers were quite audible.
This place is filling up and it's basically a sea of orange. Then again, so is the ice as the Flyers have 29 players while the Rangers have 22.
The in-house camera found Bernie Parent and his face went on the scoreboard above the left field stands, causing another huge ovation here.
It's pretty amazing that this is all for an alumni game. Seriously, can half of these guys even skate anymore to do this? Parent, who is 66, isn't bending down to stop any shots.
Today's NHL goaltending coaches wouldn't know what to do with this guy. He'd be shipped back to the ECHL.
Then there are guys like Mark Recchi, who is wearing No. 8 for the Flyers. The guy won the Stanley Cup in June. Is it fair that he's playing?
Heck yeah it is. This ought to be pretty fun.

Bromegrass, any of approximately 100 annual and perennial species of weeds and forage grasses comprising the genus Bromus (family Poaceae), found in temperate and cool climates. These grasses have flat, thin leaves and open, spreading flower clusters that are erect or drooping. Most are 30 to 100 cm (12 to 40 inches) tall. More than 40 species are found in the United States; about half are native grasses.
Rescue grass (B. catharticus), a winter annual introduced from South America into the United States as a forage and pasture grass, and smooth brome (B. inermis), a perennial native to Eurasia and introduced into the northern United States as a forage plant and soil binder, are the economically important bromegrasses. The common weed chess (B. secalinus), sometimes known as cheat, is found along roadsides and in grain fields. Downy brome or cheatgrass (B. tectorum), ripgut grass (B. diandrus), and foxtail brome (B. rubens) are dangerous to grazing animals; spines on their spikelets or bracts puncture the animals' eyes, mouths, and intestines, leading to infection and possible death.

With a humorous approach, this spot shows that not being able to control the brakes on skates can be, well, problematic. It's thanks to the line's brakes that beginners can have fun, be confident and let go while avoiding the biggest obstacles of this sport—pain and embarrassment. Shot in Barcelona the spot was broadcast in Spain in June and will premiere in France, Italy and Portugal in 2013.

An Overview of Data Migration Methodology
Data migration is a common element among most system implementations. It can be performed once, as with a legacy system redesign, or may be an ongoing process as in a data warehouse. There is a common problem is with the theoretical design differences between hierarchical and relational systems. Two of the cornerstones of hierarchical systems are de-normalization and redundant storage strategies.The ideal data migration project plan has been broken into seven phases, which mirrors the overall project. These as strategy, analysis, design, build,test/implement, revise and maintain.

Cedric Gervais – Molly
All of us here at I Can Give You House were simply appalled by Madonna's drug-use promoting actions at Ultra Music Festival when she asked the crowd how many of them had "seen Molly?" Her actions resulted in a lot of backlash from angry EDM artists such as Paul van Dyk and most notably, Deadmau5, who went off on one of his famous rants via Facebook and Twitter, expressing his disgust the Material Girl. It was only a matter of time before Madonna took to the interwebs to defend her honor, countering with claims that she was simply supporting her friend Cedric Gervais' forthcoming Spinnin' Records release, "Molly." While we certainly do not condone drug use, and actively advocate for responsible raving practices, Gervais' "Molly," which just dropped today, is arguably the biggest release of the week. That 303, acid sound has been popping up everywhere in recent months with artists such as Nicky Romero, Tommie Sunshine, Hardwell/Joey Suki, Burns and NT89, and we hear it again in "Molly." Gervais takes that funky acid electro sound, couples it with syncopated percussive elements, and drenches it in robotic, shamelessly blatant vocal samples about searching for "Molly." If you ask me, it's a total gimmick, and I have no doubt that because of these samples, this song will become extremely popular. But if you take away the samples, you're left with another run of the mill acid style electro song. Overall, i'm a little underwhelmed. But hey, that's just my opinion. Do you guys think "Molly" is a banger? Sound off in the comment section below.

Weather service predicts bitter cold to continue Friday
ELKHART — A brutal start to the new year for much of the Great Lakes region is expected to continue as more snow and extremely cold conditions are in the forecast.
Bitter cold and windy conditions that arrived Thursday night, Jan. 2, in northern Indiana will continue through Friday, Jan. 3, according to the National Weather Service.
Light snow is expected to continue Friday.
The high Friday will be 14 and the low will be 10, but evening winds will range from 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph, pushing the wind chill factor well below zero.
The weather service predicts Elkhart County and surrounding areas could receive more accumulating snow Saturday, Jan. 4, and Sunday, Jan. 5. The high will be around 29 but it will remain windy, the weather service said.
On top of that, the weekend snow system will be followed by extremely cold temps that could dip to at least minus 10 below by early Monday, Jan. 6.
Frigid temps, combined with high winds are expected from Monday through early Wednesday, the weather service said.
Wind chill temperatures Monday through Wednesday could reach 25 to 35 below zero, the weather service said.
Meanwhile, much of the region was still digging out of a storm that brought snow to the area throughout the course of three days.
A weather system that left half a foot of snow in parts of Indiana and even more in Michigan began to strengthen Thursday as it headed to the East Coast, which is bracing for blizzard conditions, the weather service said.
Most of Indiana was under a winter weather advisory Thursday.
Elkhart received roughly 5 to 6 inches of snow in recent days.
To the south, Indianapolis received 5.5 inches of snow.
A crash in central Indiana's Tipton County happened when a 19-year-old from Florida lost control of an SUV late Wednesday and it overturned into a field. Police say William Lamoreaux of Plant City, Fla., died at the scene and a 14-year-old cousin suffered a broken wrist.
LaPorte County police say 36-year-old John Kallok of Griffith died Wednesday when his pickup truck slid into the path of a charter bus on U.S. 20 in northern Indiana.
Parts of Michigan received upward of 10 inches of snow.
The National Weather Service says at least 10 inches of snow has fallen in Allegan in southwestern Michigan during the multi-day storm.
A tanker carrying crude oil crashed Thursday morning on snowy Interstate 69 in Genesee County's Davison Township, forcing the temporary evacuation of nearby homes and businesses.
AAA Michigan spokeswoman Nancy Cain says the auto club received 3,100 calls Thursday through 4 p.m. after assisting 3,000 people New Year's Day.
Associated Press contributed to this report.

Many Bayou Corne residents stay in homes despite evacuation order
Related Story
BELLE ROSE- Despite a mandatory evacuation order, many who live near Bayou Corne weren't so quick to leave their homes.
The shelter established for evacuees at Belle Rose Middle School was empty besides two Red Cross workers Saturday morning.
Pauline Dillie says, " It appears most of the folks want to stay around their homes, or with their friends and families."
Some packed up and left after part of Bayou Corne gave way and filled with water. Officials are calling the acre and a half acre sinkhole a salt dome failure
But News 2 spoke to several people who ignored the mandatory evacuation order.
Dennis Landry says, "The deputy wasn't knocking at your door forcing you to leave. "
Landry owns a boat launch and subdivision built along Bayou Corne. He has held meeting with neighbors since mysterious natural-gas bubbles and tremors were reported on the bayou two months ago.
How the bubbles are linked to the sinkhole is under investigation according to officials.
Despite the uncertainly of this situation, Landry says he's staying put as long as he can.
He says, "Most people are realizing now there's nothing they can do about it."
But Betty Thibodaux, who fled last night to Houma, disagrees.
She says, "Everybody's worried. Worried about they're belongings. Nobody knows what's happening I mean you don't rest."

Ward questions NFL's treatment of Seymour's punch
Steelers/NFL Videos
• Hines Ward raised the question earlier this week on his weekly radio show: would the NFL suspend Richard Seymour if the Raiders defensive end punched one of the league's marquee attractions like Tom Brady or Peyton Manning• "We all know the answer to that one," Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said Wednesday. Roethlisberger was on the receiving end of a Seymour punch last Sunday. The NFL fined Seymour $25,000 a day later, prompting Ward to question whether the league would have come down harder on him he belted a quarterback with more star power. "That's my beliefs, and I wanted to put my beliefs on my radio show," Ward said yesterday.
• The Steelers were penalized 14 times last Sunday but it looks like none of them will lead to fines. Outside linebackers James Harrison and LaMarr Woodley, free safety Ryan Clark and Kemoeatu had yet to hear from the NFL as of late yesterday afternoon. All four were hit with personal fouls Sunday.
• A dig at Roethlisberger on the T. Ocho Show on Tuesday night did not get much of a rise out of the Steelers' players. In the latest episode of the TV show hosted by Bengals wide receivers Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco, Owens called Roethlisberger "soft" for falling to the ground after Seymour punched him. "I don't need to comment on that," Roethlisberger said. "I want to focus on winning championships." Ward added, "We're not even going to listen to T.O.'s show. When you're at that point, you're just trying to pump up your show as much as you can so people can talk about it."
• Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel, who has missed four games since injuring his hamstring in October, practiced as expected yesterday. Strong safety Troy Polamalu (Achilles tendon), wide receiver Antonio Brown (knee) and tight end Matt Spaeth (concussion) did not practice, as expected, because of injuries. Polamalu is expected to play Sunday against the Bills.

So, if my posts next week seem a bit off, assume that the move resulted in fiery death all around and I've been replaced by a crude AI pasted in Visual Basic.
This week's Ask Massively, sadly, does not include anything about AI or my new apartment. Instead, it's about player-run events and why we cover some of them but not all. If you've got a question you'd like to see answered in a future installment of the column, send it to firstname.lastname@example.com or leave it in the comments. Questions may be edited slightly for clarity and/or brevity.
Fienemannia asked: Why do you cover some player-run events and not others?
It's an intricate dance of many factors, and it's asked whenever a major player-run event takes place. Emphasis on the "major" part of that statement. Something intended to host thousands of players is worth noting; something that only involves a dozen people isn't going to prompt much general interest.Jamochet stated: You give Rob Liefeld entirely too much credit.
Beyond that, there are still a lot of factors to consider. Is the game itself a big name? Is the event itself interesting? Is it unique and novel or something that's fairly routine at this point? Does it seem like an interesting story? All of this has to be weighed because posting about every player event would quickly bury any news items under a sea of player gatherings for every game under the sun.
In the end, we highlight something that seems neat and unique and pass on a lot of events that readers tell us about. When we can, if we individually think it's a neat idea, we try to highlight it elsewhere. So do let us know if you've got a player-run event going, but also understand if it doesn't make the front page.
Possibly, since I genuinely believe he's probably a sort of OK guy who makes a lot of money drawing comics despite his being a terrible artist.

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) - An international rights group says prisoners in Senegal are routinely abused and the perpetrators rarely face punishment.
An Amnesty International report released Wednesday describes beatings and electrocutions, sometimes resulting in death, of male and female prisoners.
Victim Boubacar Diop spoke at a Wednesday press conference, along with family members of prisoners who died in other prisons. "I've never seen such serious torture,'' Diop said.
Police in Senegal are granted blanket immunity. Victims' families - often poor and unfamiliar with the legal system - struggle to bring cases against those responsible.
A presidential spokesman would not confirm or deny the details of the report, but said Senegal was committed to protecting human rights.

Pricing power. Those 2 magic words will be ever so important for those companies that rely on raw materials as an input cost as we ready ourselves for earnings reports from corporate America. With profit margins at about record highs, the ability to pass thru higher costs will be the key factor on whether this can be sustained. While some think the market is 'cheap' because the S&P 500 trades at 14 times '11 earnings estimates. This '11 consensus is on peak margins. The Shiller 10 yr average P/E ratio, which smooth's out the earnings cycle as profit margins are mean reverting, is at 24 times vs the long term average of 16. In Europe, Greek CDS is back to record highs after Der Spiegel reported that "despite all the denials, there is a growing realization that a so called haircut can longer be avoided" for Greece. They said its not just the IMF that is pushing for it but support is growing among euro zone finance ministers too.

Serum adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein in the critically ill

Critical Care 2013, 17:121 doi:10.1186/cc12517
See related research by Huang et al., http://ccforum.com/content/17/1/R22Published: 6 March 2013
Sepsis due to unabated inflammation is common. Increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, free radicals, and eicosanoids has been detected in sepsis and other critical illnesses but could also be due to decreased synthesis and release of anti-inflammatory molecules. Increased serum adipose-fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) levels can cause insulin resistance and have been reported in the critically ill, serve as a marker of prognosis, and thus link metabolic homeostasis and inflammation. A-FABP can be linked to the expression of Toll-like receptors, macrophage activation, synthesis and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, activation of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) expression, and eicosanoid synthesis, events that can cause insulin resistance and initiation and progression of inflammation and sepsis. Unsaturated fatty acids and their anti-inflammatory products, such as lipoxins, resolvins, and protectins, may suppress A-FABP expression, inhibit macrophage and COX-2 activation, and decrease production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and ultimately could lead to a decrease in insulin resistance and resolution of inflammation and recovery from sepsis. Serial measurement of these pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules and correlation of their levels to the progression to or recovery from (or both) sepsis and other inflammatory processes may form a new approach to predict prognosis in inflammatory conditions and eventually could lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Are Islamic banks anti-war? Islamic banks discourage investment in the arms and military industry as well as speculation and taking excessive risks
A couple of weeks ago, I was asked by a fantastic organisation to look into Islamic banking and how ethical it really is. Whilst I learnt that most Islamic banks may not have the best environmental record, I did discover that they do have some distinct ethical selling points. One of which is their reluctance to invest in the arms industry as well as an aversion to speculation and excessive risks which can destabilize the market. At a time when no-one trusts their bank, Islamic banking doesn't look like such a bad alternative to the conventional profit-driven financial system.
Islamic banking is based on Sharia or Islamic law which stipulates that making money from money is forbidden and that risks and profits must be shared. The first principles means that interest is not allowed but neither is investment into schemes where the source of the profit is vague. Islamic banks are consequently only allowed to invest in assets- real things like commodities, properties and natural resources. Although this means that there are less shady investments, there is a lot more investment in things like oil, gas and the mining of natural resources – something which is not good for the planet.
In fact, a close link between Islamic banks in the UK and the Middle East means that a lot of investment is in the oil producing industry which is polluting and harmful to the environment and future of this planet. There is only a vague understanding of the concept of environmental responsibility and that doesn't go beyond recycling at the office to actually considering the kind of companies that they invest in.
Many of the banks I was commissioned to look at (those based in the UK) did however take a firm stand on investing in things like the tobacco industry and the arms and military sector. Nigel Denison, the Head of Wealth Management and Treasury at the Bank of London and the Middle East said, "Our bank complies with Sharia'a principles meaning that we aim to share reward and risk and not to act against the interest of the wider community. For example, we don't invest in the arms and military industries, we don't gamble or don't take excessive risks or speculation with our investments."
Whilst not all the banks take such a firm stand against investing in the arms industry, quite a few did which I found encouraging. So the Islamic banking sector may not have great green credentials but if you are also worried about those bankrolling the arms industry, than Islamic banks wouldn't be a bad place to start.

Royal baby cheat sheet: 11 cool facts
With Prince William by her side, Duchess Kate gave birth to a baby boy at London's St. Mary's Hospital on Monday. The royal baby birth's will likely dominate water cooler chatter this week. To celebrate, here are some facts about the latest heir to the throne that'll make you sound like a royal expert:
1. The baby will fall under the zodiac sign of Cancer, just like Prince William, who was born on June 21, and his mother, the late Princess Diana, who was born on July 1.
2. Bookies placed odds on the royal baby's name with Alexandra, Charlotte, and James at the top of the list. Odds are also high that Diana would be one of the middle names for a girl. However, U.K. betting agent Ladbrokes is also offering odds on Tulisa at 500/1, Chardonnay at 250/1, and Barack at 200/1. Bookies also have 4-1 odds the baby will have the recessive red hair gene like Prince Harry.

3. The birth comes just over two years since the couple's wedding on April 29, 2011. They waited a bit longer to have their first child than Prince Charles and Princess Diana, who brought Prince William into the world just 11 months after getting married.
4. The baby is only the second future monarch to be born in a hospital. Prince William was also born at St. Mary's Hospital, London in 1982. Queen Elizabeth gave birth to Prince Charles in Buckingham Palace.
5. Economists say the royal baby will inject £240 million ($380 million) into the U.K. economy. That figure is based on people buying food and drinks for celebrations at home and in restaurants or pubs, as well as purchases and exports of souvenirs and memorabilia, toys, books and media, according to the Centre for Retail Research.
Nappy? Pram? Deciphering Duchess Kate's British English
6. In a modern twist, this is the first British royal birth to be announced by palace officials via Twitter. However, holding to tradition, the birth announcement was written on official Buckingham Palace letterhead and driven to the palace, placed on the same easel used to announce Prince William's birth 31 years ago.
7. Gun salutes will welcome the baby to the world at two locations in London. The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery will be in control of Green Park where there will be 41 rounds, and 62 rounds will be organized by the Honourable Artillery at the Tower of London.
8. The royal baby will probably be christened in a private affair, most likely by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Music Room at Buckingham Palace where Prince William's ceremony was held. However, Prince Harry was christened in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. The baby is expected to wear a replica gown first worn by Queen Victoria's eldest daughter in 1841. It was used for generation after generation of royal infants until 2004, when the Queen commissioned a handmade copy so that the historic outfit could be carefully preserved. Royal babies usually have five or six godparents, although the Prince of Wales had eight.
What to expect once the royal baby arrives
9. The last time a still-serving monarch met their great-grandchild born in direct succession to the crown was 120 years ago. Queen Victoria, who died in 1901, met her great grandchild Edward VIII, who later abdicated, when he was born third in line to the throne in 1894.
10. If the child had been a girl and ascended to the throne, she would have become only the 6th woman to be crowned queen in her own right in over 1,500 years of the British monarchy. The royal baby will be third in line to the throne behind Princes Charles and William, no matter its gender. The change happened this year when the U.K. changed its rights of succession. Previously, if Duchess Kate gave birth to a daughter and then later had a son, the younger brother would overtake his sister in the order of succession.
11. The newest heir will be given the title of His Royal Highness Prince (name) of Cambridge. There has been at least one HRH Prince (name) of Cambridge before: HRH Prince George of Cambridge, born in 1819, the grandson of King George III.

LG X110 netbook revealed?

LG X110 netbook revealed?
Korean giant LG is also planning to join the netbook field, currently occupied by computers such as ASUS' Eee PC and Acer's Aspire one, according to reports. The debut system is expected to be called the X110, and manufactured by Taiwan's Micro-Star International, though it should ship beyond Asia to regions including Europe and North America. Rather than aiming for a low cost, LG is said to be interested in high-end design and materials.
Specifications are said to include an 8.9-inch screen, 2GB of RAM, and a 120GB hard drive. It should be based around Intel's Atom processor, and run a version of Windows XP. Like the Eee a Linux version may also be available, but this has not been decided. Pricing is expected to fall between $625 and $790, but this is based on exchange rates with Taiwan.
