Billboard and Nielsen announced today the addition of U.S. YouTube data to its platforms, which includes an update to the methodology for the Billboard Hot 100, the preeminent singles chart.
The YouTube data is now factored into the chart's ranking, adding to a formula that includes Nielsen's digital download track sales and physical singles sales; as well as terrestrial radio airplay, on-demand audio streaming, and online radio streaming, also tracked by Nielsen. The most notable YouTube-influenced title this week is viral sensation "Harlem Shake" by producer Baauer, which debuts at No. 1 on both the Hot 100 and Streaming Songs charts and jumps 12-1 on Dance/Electronic Songs with 103 million views, according to YouTube.
According to Nielsen, the "Harlem Shake" arrival also benefits from viral video-influenced sales of 262,000 downloads. That sales sum alone, good for a No. 3 ranking on Hot Digital Songs, would have placed the title within the top 15 on the Hot 100 without the inclusion of YouTube views into the calculation. Other YouTube-influenced highlights on the Hot 100 include Rihanna's "Stay" which jumps 57-3 and Drake's "Started From the Bottom" which soars 63-10. Videos for both songs were posted on YouTube during the tracking week, with Rihanna's title garnering 3.8 million views in the U.S. and Drake's "Started" earning 5.1 million. In addition, PSY rebounds 48-26 on the Hot 100 with "Gangnam Style," which adds another 3.7 million streams this week to its already impressive streaming total.

What do you consider to be the best bite out of a slice? Is it the first one; hot and fresh but with the threat of tomato and cheese lava mouth-sear?

Kravitz sat down with Manning recently. Manning has always seemed to like Kravitz and is usually fairly candid with him. He sounds disappointed about the firings (not surprising) and says that he will sit down with Irsay and not Grigson when deciding his future (not surprising either). This is a pretty good piece.
Sorry, Rob Lowe.
Peyton Manning is not retiring, at least not any time soon.
"I never thought 'Sodapop Curtis' would announce my retirement," Manning said, laughing, referring to Lowes character in the 1983 movie "The Outsiders." "I always thought I would be the one to announce it. I'm a huge fan of the movie, but that caught me way off guard. I can't explain it. I know he (Lowe) is a friend of Jim's (Irsay), and Jim sounded surprised."
So no, Manning isn't on the cusp of retirement. In a wide-ranging, exclusive interview with The Star on Monday night, the Colts' future Hall of Fame quarterback addressed a number of pressing topics, including his health, his sadness over the firings of several coaches, his minimal relationship with new general manager Ryan Grigson and the future.
For the record, Manning and Grigson finally met, briefly, last week when the two ran across each other in the facility.
"One thing he (Grigson) kind-of, sort-of told me, without really wanting to tell me, was that Irsay will be the guy I'm going to sit down and talk with," Manning said. "That's going to happen at some point, but we haven't had that conversation yet because we really don't need to have that conversation yet."
Aside from Eli Manning's victory in the NFC title game in San Francisco, where Peyton was present to celebrate with his brother, this has been a rough week for Peyton --- and for a lot of the people who've made this one of the most successful organizations in sports over the years. Change is never easy.
"I'm not in a very good place for healing, let's say that," he said, referring to the practice facility. "It's not a real good environment down there right now, to say the least. Everybody's walking around on eggshells. I don't recognize our building right now. There's such complete and total change."
Manning didn't express anger about the firing of Jim Caldwell and so many assistant coaches as much as he expressed sadness, wistfulness even.
He was working out with strength and conditioning coach Jon Torine last week when word came down that Torine had been relieved of his duties. One day later, after Torine had cleaned out his office, he ran Manning one more time, for old time's sake.
"It was tough," Manning said. "Very emotional."
It's been difficult with all the coaches, many of whom have been with Manning since the beginning, or at least close to it. This franchise has been a model of stability and continuity; now it's all about change. When Manning hasn't been rehabilitating, he's been calling other franchises and offering recommendations on behalf of the departed coaches.
"One of the things about football is, it's a relationship business," Manning said. "Sometimes guys get fired, it goes across the ticker, 'Jim Caldwell got fired' and that's that. But when it's every day in a relationship business ... with Bill (Polian), with Marvin (Harrison), Edge (James), guys who retire, get cut, traded or fired, it's just really hard. I dont think I have an emotion for it.
"The new (management) team doesn't have a relationship with these guys like I do, and I know a lot of players feel that way about them (the departing coaches), too."
He continued:
"I mean, it's 20 degrees, it's snowing, the building is absolutely empty except when you see coaches cleaning out their offices," he said. "I guess it's the reality of the football world, just not something I've had to deal with very often. But I'm in there every day, so I have to sit there and see it. Everybody's being evaluated and I'm no different. It's not the best environment.
"I just want to pay tribute to all those guys. It's unfortunate because so many of them have been such a big part of so many big wins here, and this is so ... sudden. Their keys didn't work the next day. There's no other way to do it? I dont know. That's hard to see, all these people leaving.
"And I may be behind them. Who knows?"
The question was posed: Given all the changes, the fact the Colts appear to be in a rebuilding mode, does Manning even want to come back to Indianapolis?
"I don't want to get into some kind of fan campaign with the owner, but I think it's well documented that I want to play in the same place my whole career," Manning said. "It's been a privilege to play here. I love the fans, the city, the transformation of the fans, how our place has become the toughest stadium to play in, the fact our fans wear more jerseys to games than anybody else. It's been fun to be a part of that.
"But I understand how it works. I understand tough decisions have to be made. There's personal and there's business and that's where weve got to separate the two. I've seen other guys leave places and it was personal. I've invested too much into this city for that to happen. We live here, we've given lots of time and money to the community and our church, and that's never going to change Nothing changes that.
"Whatever happens, happens. I can't give you a prediction because Jim (Irsay) and I will sit down at some point and he'll get a feel for where I am and Ill get a sense of what direction he wants to go. Right now, I have no idea."
As for Mannings health, he's not all the way back yet, but he's not going to put any kinds of percentages on his recovery, nor will he predict whether he'll be at full strength by early March, when the $28 million option bonus is due. At this point, he just doesn't know.
"You've been around me: You know I don't like to say something like, 'Theres no way I can play Sunday,' then come out and play Sunday and everybody in the media is writing 'I cant believe hes playing,'" Manning said. "I'm not into the drama. And I'm not into saying, 'Well, this is it, I sure have enjoyed it.' I'm not into saying goodbye. All I know is I'm still under contract to the Colts. I'm still the quarterback of the Colts That's why I'm in the building every day trying to get healthy."
Manning continues to work out daily and throw to his beloved and overworked equipment guys, but this past Sunday, he got out of the facility. After watching the first two Giants' playoff games from the workout room, Peyton decided to surprise Eli and show up Sunday in San Francisco.
I asked if he told Eli it was his job to protect his Lucas Oil Stadium turf from the hated Patriots.
He laughed.
"Well, I've already gone to work for him, getting all my teammates, trying to get their two-ticket allotments," Manning said. "That's what he did for me two years ago and I did that for him four years ago. And I'm helping any way I can, getting him restaurant reservations around town for him and his teammates. Jim (Irsay) called after the game and offered any kind of help he could give, which was generous.
As far as helping him with the Patriots, really, he doesn't need to talk to me. He played them seven weeks ago. We'll talk about things they do when you face them a second time in the same year, but he knows them better than I do right now.
"It was fun Sunday, we talked about third and long situations, the defense San Francisco likes to play. Theyve got (former Colts defensive coordinator) Vic Fangio, and we were saying, 'In this situation, they run this particular coverage, three rushing and eight in coverage, and there are only certain places you can throw it.' I didn't tell him to throw that post route on the touchdown, but that was the kind of defense he was seeing. So it's kind of fun to talk about that stuff."
Now, then, Manning will try to enjoy the Super Bowl madness, will continue to work out at the facility (until the team is kicked out to make way for the, gag, Patriots) and wait to see what unfolds in the front office. If and when the Colts are ready to talk --- likely in February --- Manning will be easy to find.
"I'm in the facility every day," he said. "I'm right there. They know where to find me."
When it's time to make an announcement one way or the other, Manning hopes he can do it on his own terms.
"Hopefully, Sodapop Curtis doesn't tweet it before I can say anything," he said.

Wow that is a good pick. He was way up on my list. I guess I was deleting names as they were picked and I must have deleted him by accident and so Wright was at the top. It would have been tough between the two.

SANTA ANA – The way school principal Kim Ahvari sees it, DaVita Inc. is more than a kidney-care company.
"They're like the shoe fairies, the shoe angels," she said.
In their second visit to Santa Ana, employees from the company's Irvine offices – dubbed "The Grove" – visited George Washington Carver Elementary School on Wednesday and distributed 698 pairs of shoes to every student on the pre-school to third-grade campus.
As students filed into a multi-purpose room by grade and sat on the floor, Ahvari explained that the boxes around them were filled with new shoes, and a new pair of socks, selected especially for them.
"Oooh," went a chorus of smiling kids with each give-away. And as each class in turn got permission to open their shoe boxes, the room erupted in cheers and excited chatter.
"What do we say to DaVita?" Ahvari said. "Thank you!" they responded.
For Jill Calhoun, a facilities services manager for DaVita in Irvine, the shoe distribution marked the second that she has organized. She collaborates with a nonprofit called Shoes That Fit of Claremont, which matches donors with schools that serve a population in which at least 85 percent of students qualify for free- or reduced-cost lunches. At Carver, 97 percent of students qualify.
So successful was last year's effort at Abraham Lincoln Elementary in Santa Ana that the company expanded it to a national effort a "Shoes-a-palooza" that will outfit some 12,500 children with new shoes at nearly 170 schools. The nonprofit recommends that donors buy athletic shoes.
"The reason why we do it is we have a chance to give back to the community," Calhoun said. "We're actually going to come back here, in late April, and do a village service day project – and we're going to do a lot of painting and sprucing up, so we've really kind of adopted them."
Using charts from Shoes That Fit, volunteers from Carver's parent-teacher organization measured each student's feet, and added a half-size to provide some growing room.
With each class, Ahvari emphasized for her kids the value of working together, explaining how school and DaVita staff and volunteers made the effort a success.
"How many of you think when you are an adult, you can do something like this and help children at another school?" The kids applauded loudly.
A focus of Santa Ana Unified this year, she said, is developing a positive, healthy school climate.
"When children come to school without basics, when they come to school with shoes that are too tight or they come without a jacket, or in need of dental work, it's hard for them to have a healthy school environment," she said. "So what this means is that 698 students are going to come with happy feet, and happy feet make happy children."
Angel Rodriguez and Stephanie Cervantes, both third-graders, said when they play soccer, their shoes can tear.
"It was really nice of them to help other kids to get new shoes," said Jamie Sanchez, 9, who got pink Airwalks, sold by Payless ShoeSource. "Like their parents are poor, and they can get new shoes for free and they don't have to wear their old shoes that are getting ripped apart."
"Isn't this just like Christmas?" said second-grader Rafael Martinez, called to the room's stage to express his classmates' gratitude.
Staff members from the school, as well as some parents, watched as the distribution took place.
"This will encourage them to study," said mom Manuela Quiroz, whose second-grade son Luis Ayala received new shoes. "The children are very happy."
As the children filed out, they high-fived some 18 DaVita volunteers who came out for the event, and left thank-you notes, like this one from a first-grader who signed her name "Migdalia."
"Thank you for giving me the shoes," she wrote. "I feel rilly rilly happy."

As a support of affordable ebooks I've made a purchase.
I'm the kind of freak that likes a dead tree version along with an ebook (preferrably pdf).
Much easier to carry all my perl book on my usb sticks.
Exactly...and for "learning" books...I can print out a chapter at a time and make annotations. I somehow cringe in writing in a book.

Town Meeting on Transportation and Land Use
Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
June 20, 2003
Braddock District Supervisor to Hold
Town Meeting on Transportation and Land Use
The Braddock District Town Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 25, at 7:30 p.m. in the Kings Park Library Community Room, 9000 Burke Lake Road, Burke. The meeting, hosted by the Braddock District Supervisor, will focus on the report from the recently completed Community Dialog on Transportation and Land Use.
In January through May of this year, the Braddock District hosted a series of community discussions to examine the issues of transportation and land use. In response to the defeat of the Regional Sales Tax Referendum, the Braddock District Supervisor worked with residents to explore alternative strategies for addressing the region's traffic congestion.
Topics discussed in the community dialog included: transportation planning and funding, the county's Comprehensive Plan for transportation and development, the parameters within which we operate in the commonwealth of Virginia, and political dynamics. Panelists throughout the series included state, county and private sector speakers. Information about these topics is in a report to be discussed at Wednesday's town meeting.
The town meeting will be broadcast on the Fairfax County Government Cable Channel 16 at 8 p.m. Friday, June 27, and Sunday, June 29. For more information about the meeting or the broadcast date and time, call the Braddock District Office at 703-425-9300, TTY 703-978-7973.

The Grand Theatre Will Re-Open in February
After eighty-six years, the Grand Theatre - home of The Road Company Theater Group, Inc. since 1976 - fell silent on May 14, 2010 when its roof collapsed, destroying the entire venue. This was a devastating tragedy for theater-goers throughout the Delaware Valley and it hit Southern New Jersey with significant impact. Now, after over two-and-a-half years of tireless hard work, fundraising, advocating, and numerous meetings with architects and contractors, the Grand has been rebuilt. A Grand Gala on February 16 will mark its official reopening. The event is being held in conjunction with the 2013 season opening production Hairspray, running February 14 - March 2. The Grand Theatre is located at 405 S. Main Street, Williamstown, NJ. For tickets and information, visit www.roadcompany.com or call 856-728-2120.
Lauri Hudson, Board President of The Road Company which owns the Grand Theatre, has led the rebuilding. "I don't think that there was ever a question that we would rebuild. The first order of business was securing the site and dealing with the insurance company," she reports. "We met with contractor after contractor to see how much it would really cost to rebuild. Needless to say our estimates and theirs were really very different. However, failing wasn't an option. The board has done a great job and the outpouring we have gotten from the community has shown that this theater has touched the lives of so many people. We couldn't let them down." $85,000 from donors and fundraisers has supplemented the insurance money in providing the $1,3 million needed to rebuild.
The new Grand has been expanded to include a large, multi-use room on the second floor, more sophisticated technology for lighting and sound, dressing rooms, a loading dock, and a Grand Galleria for showcasing the work of local visual artists, but with seating capacity at 200, it has not lost the intimacy audiences have come to appreciate when seeing shows.
On February 16, the Grand Gala begins with a 5:30pm cocktail reception and silent auction (including the G-R-A-N-D letters from the original marquee), continues with a performance of Hairspray at 7pm, and concludes with a dessert reception and dance party following the show on the Corny Collins Show set on stage. Plus, patrons will have the opportunity to sponsor a new theater seat with their names on a seat.
The Road Company is launching the inaugural season in the new Grand Theatre in a big way with Hairspray, a big family-friendly, Tony- winning musical piled high with big hair, big dance numbers, and lots of laughter and romance. Audiences will be transported to 1962 Baltimore, home of the lovable plus-size teen Tracy Turnblad whose only desire is to dance on the Corny Collins Show. On her way to realizing her dream, she wins the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin and is transformed from social outcast to sudden star. In addition to Hairspray, the 2013 season includes productions of The History Boys, The Wedding Singer, Assassins, Gypsy, and A Christmas Story. Summer Theater Camp productions, featuring young people ages 8 through 18, will be Disney's Aladdin, Jr. and Legally Blonde. And, new this year, will be a series of theatrical classes for children and adults.

From now, until Selection Sunday, Sporting News will analyze the outcomes of key games involving bubble teams for the 2013 NCAA Tournament and look at how the results affect the team's tournament chances.
NCAA Tournament selection chair Mike Bobinski was nowhere near the bubble Tuesday night. He watched his own in need-an-auto-bid Xavier Musketeers beat the pretty-much-in Memphis Tigers in a non-league game. There was a fair amount of action in Bubbleland, however.
GOOD NIGHT: Minnesota
Outcome: The Gophers (19-9, 7-8 Big Ten) claimed their first No. 1-ranked victim since 1989, taking down the Indiana Hoosiers by a 77-73 final after at last rediscovering that 6-foot-8 Trevor Mbakwe plays for their team. Mbakwe scored 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting – the first time in nearly two months he has been allowed to attempt double-figure shots. No, seriously. The last was on Jan. 9 in a game at Illinois. Which, not coincidentally, the Gophers also won.
IU became Minnesota's fourth victim ranked in the Ratings Percentage Index top 25, but this was only the Gophers' fourth win in the past dozen games.
Prognosis: Let's be realistic about this. Minnesota was never actually on the bubble. The Gophers were No. 17 in the RPI, for goodness sakes. Nobody in that neighborhood is missing the NCAAs. But had they continued to play miserably they might have wandered into bubble territory. With this victory, they even could afford to lose one of their remaining three games, all of which are against the Big Ten's bottom group: Penn State, Nebraska, Purdue.
MORE: Despite loss, Indiana remains on top seed line
Gallery: No. 1 ranked teams losing this season
GOOD NIGHT: Tennessee
Outcome: It seems as though the Florida Gators are more intent on beefing up the number of Southeastern Conference teams that make the NCAA Tournament than earning the best possible seed for themselves. Florida became another victim of quality for a conference partner, in this case the Volunteers by a 64-58 margin.
The Vols (17-10, 9-6 SEC) won their sixth consecutive game, but only their second in that stretch against a team that either will be in the field (Gators) or is competing for a spot (Kentucky). They were 57th in the RPI when the day began; this became their first top-25 victim and gave them a 3-4 mark against the top 50.
Prognosis: It's still a long way from here to the tournament, but the schedule provides the opportunity to put some nice dressing on that overall record. The Vols go to Georgia, which has been battling even though it is out of the tournament picture, and also to hapless Auburn before closing with a March 9 home game against likely NCAA entrant Missouri.

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Austin Dillon will attempt to run the 2013 Daytona 500 in a fourth Richard Childress Racing car sponsored by Honey Nut Cheerios.
It will be the first attempt at the Daytona 500 for Dillon, who has two career Cup starts and will spend a second full season in the Nationwide Series in 2013.
Dillon, the 2011 Camping World Truck Series champion, is the grandson of team owner Richard Childress, and his car normally carries the No. 3 made famous by Dale Earnhardt. He has two Nationwide wins this year.
"My family has so many memories of racing in the Daytona 500 so it is really special to me to be able to make my first Daytona 500 start," Dillon said in a news release.
Richard Childress Racing has won the Daytona 500 twice—in 1998 with Earnhardt and in 2007 with Kevin Harvick. Dillon will drive the No. 33 car, which currently is 37th in owner points (through a partnership between Childress and Joe Falk), so Dillon likely will have to qualify on speed or in the qualifying races. There is an outside chance he could be in a position to get a spot based on those points, depending on how the Daytona 500 lineup is formed.
"Austin has made a number of Sprint Cup Series starts so he understands the pressures at NASCAR's highest level, but his first start in the great American race will be a special one," Childress said.
Cheerios' parent company, General Mills, is a co-primary sponsor of the RCR car driven by Jeff Burton.

Food shelter urges volunteers to remember hungry in Philly all year long
No matter how big your family is, chances are you won't be cooking as much as Julio Arroyo this Thanksgiving. He's the food director at Philadelphia's oldest continual provider of care to the homeless, the Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission at 13th and Vine streets in Center City Philadelphia.
Don't let the name fool you. They provide three meals a day, 365 days a year.
This Thanksgiving, Arroyo will prepare 35 turkeys for 250 people.
A major undertaking? No, Arroyo says, "it's nothing."
Arroyo's story is one of transcendence and redemption. Six years ago he was on the other side of the line, not serving food, but homeless himself.
He was searching for his next meal for so long that he can't remember when he started.
"I don't know, I guess all my life, because I was doing drugs all my life. I was jumping from one state to another, you know?" he said. "I don't know what I was looking for."
Eventually he found Sunday Morning Rescue Mission and completed a program that opened the door to a full-time job that allows him to be an example to the hundreds of homeless people who come through the mission's doors on a daily basis.
"I try to show them, there's another way to live," Arroyo said. "They can see me and maybe they can change too."
'Tis the season
Stories like these are usually told around the holidays, a time when the culture brings to the forefront our thoughts about giving and remembering the less fortunate.
No surprise too, it's this time of year that soup kitchens and shelters see a huge spike in volunteering.
"A lot of people call and can't get in on Thanksgiving just because you literally have too many cooks in the kitchen, and once you get past the 20-person mark, serving becomes kind of tough," said Ryan Hibbard, Sunday Morning's director of development.
Hibbard appreciates when people think of his rescue mission at any time of year, but wishes more did so in the leaner calendar cycles.
On a cold day in February, Sunday Morning will feed as many people as on Thanksgiving, but with only a tiny fraction of the help.
Nick Lordi is the mission's ministry director.
"One of the things we're trying to do is encourage our volunteers that are calling up now and asking to volunteer is to say 'hey, yeah you can come in this week or next week, but maybe you want to come back in a few weeks or a few months and volunteer doing the same thing you'd be doing this week, but do it in the future when we don't have people calling every day.'"
Aside from the three daily meals, Sunday Breakfast provides up to 200 beds a night to homeless men seeking a night's shelter. Their yearly operating budget is about $2.8 million.
Relying almost exclusively on private donations, development director Hibbard says there's one form of giving that's always in season, and always needed. "A big way to have an impact is to write a check," he said.
It's estimated that 430,000 people in Philadelphia depended on food pantries at least once in the past year.

Rangers saddened by explosion in West
CHICAGO -- Rangers bullpen coach Andy Hawkins was hunched over his iPad in the clubhouse on Thursday morning, trying to get all the information he could on the fertilizer plant explosion that rocked the town of West, Texas, on Wednesday night.
Hawkins was born in Waco -- just south of West -- and he owns a ranch in Bruceville, which is also in the central Texas area.
"It's just a terrible tragedy ... that place is like 20 minutes away from my ranch," Hawkins said. "I've used that kind of fertilizer, I've sprayed it before on my ranch and there's a place just like that plant near us. It could have happened to us. I know a lot of people are hurt, but people are going to come from all over the place to help."
The northern McLennan County town is known for its Czechoslovakian heritage and the bakeries along I-35 that sell Kolaches and other Czech delicacies.
"I know a lot of people who stop there," Hawkins said. "I know I stop there almost every time I go from Dallas to home. I stop for the Kolaches. I know it's a great place."
Outfielder Lance Berkman is from that area as well. He was born in Waco, grew up in Austin and went to high school in New Braunfels, all along the same I-35 corridor as West.
"It's a tragedy," Berkman said. "You don't like to see anything like that ever happen. It's just a disaster."

Well, I'm going for the Suns out of the West and Detroit out of the east. I can't stand half of these idiots on ESPN saying that Shaq and the Heat are going to win an NBA championship this year. I want Detroit representing the East this year because only they have a shot at beating San Antonio or Phoenix in a 7 game series.
I want the Suns to win it all..But if San Antonio makes it to the finals, I will be rooting for Detroit against them.

SORRENTO — The shorthanded Sorrento Police Department will get some much-needed help soon.
The Town Council unanimously approved during a special meeting Friday morning the hiring of two new police officers. Councilmen Randy Anny, Marvin Martin, Milton "Needlenose" Vicknair and John Wright approved the hirings. Councilman Jason Adams did not attend the meeting.
James Bell, who Police Chief Earl Theriot said had worked previously for the Scott Police Department, and former Lutcher police Officer Lyndell Augillard both were hired to join the Sorrento Police Department.
The new additions give Theriot six full-time officers, though two of them recently have missed work due to illness and hospitalization. Three of the six officers also have threatened to sue both town government and the Police Department over alleged harassment and retaliation tactics taken by Theriot.
In August, the council fired former Assistant Police Chief Billy Ballard following an internal investigation, and another officer, Cory Prine, was dismissed after violating the department's policy for using Taser stun guns.
The council has yet to replace Ballard as assistant chief, delaying a vote earlier this month that would have promoted Officer Ricky Smith to that position.
Friday's two hirings, though unanimous, weren't without controversy.
Theriot recommended that the council hire Bell, who he said has "a lot of knowledge (and) a lot background" in police work. However, Anny said he would prefer that the council hire Augillard immediately and wait to hire Bell until next month.
The two candidates were among nine recommended to the council by Theriot.
The chief, however, said Augillard hadn't passed a psychological test required by the Police Department's insurance company to see if he is capable of carrying a firearm and serving as a police officer. Once Augillard passes that test, he can begin patrolling.
The council ultimately decided to hire both officers, giving Bell the opportunity to begin working with the department immediately. Augillard will join the department if he passes the psychological evaluation.

TAMPA—Ronde Barber has done such a good job of playing safety this year that you have to wonder why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't move him there sooner.
The safety position naturally lends itself to everything Barber does well. This is a player who was never blessed with exceptional speed or size but always has displayed tremendous ball awareness, outstanding instincts and an uncanny ability to read not only a play but a quarterback's eyes and intentions.
All of those traits are what allows Barber to continue making one big play after another at safety. He has three interceptions (including one returned for a touchdown), one forced fumble, one sack and eight pass breakups. Not bad for a 37-year-old in his 16th season.
LINEMAKERS: Week 9 opening lines | Super Bowl odds | Video: Week 8 recap
FANTASY SOURCE: Monday recap | Walking the wire
Throw in the fact that he plays much bigger than his size (5-10, 184) and does a textbook job of tackling and taking angles to ballcarriers and quarterbacks in the pocket, and you can see why he remains a player to be feared whether he's blitzing, running downhill into the box or hanging back in the secondary in coverage.
The Bucs have toyed with the idea of moving Barber to safety in the past but never pulled the trigger largely because they didn't have the depth to move what is arguably the best slot corner in NFL history.
They still don't have that depth, but coach Greg Schiano's evaluation of Barber suggested he could be even more of a strength at safety. Based on the results the Bucs are getting so far, Schiano's evaluation was right on the money.

Metro Detroiters can expect rain to last through late Sunday morning with a break around lunch time.
We could see scattered very light showers into the afternoon. Even with the early rains and cloudy skies Sunday, temperatures will climb into the upper 50s. It will be breezy at times with SW winds 10-20 mph.
Monday will be a foggy start, then mostly cloudy with a slight chance for a few very light showers into the afternoon. However, the bigger story as we head back to work and school, is a warming to bring us into the low 60s. Enjoy!
Tuesday is a transition day with temps falling from the 50s to start into the 30s by day's end. We will likely see a few light showers as a cool front passes through the morning hours.

Oregon crab exports to China: 'That hurts'
CHARLESTON, Ore. -- Oregon crab exports to China are expected to double this year according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, but that doesn't mean good news for local markets.
Officials say that almost 1.5 million pounds went overseas in 2010, and that number increased to 2.2 million pounds in 2011.
Local fisheries are already having a hard time with the season opening late and less crab coming in than usual, on top of outside buyers taking away their business.
Hallmark Fisheries in Charleston says it lost over 40 percent of business to foreign markets last year. Local fisheries are already having a hard time with the season opening late and less crab coming in than usual...on top of outside buyers taking away their business.
Those outside buyers can offer crabbers more money than local fisheries can, and Scott Adams from Hallmark says he just can't compete.
"It's really obvious for me," Adams said. "I have boats that fish year round and I haven't seen them for a week. Where are they? One of our most faithful boats, first trip, sold to an outside buyer, and that hurts because we have to have the product to keep us going."
Adams says he sees the crab industry having the same fate as the logging industry in Oregon.
The commercial Oregon Dungeness Crab season got off to a late start this year because of a low meat content percentage; but, the season runs through the middle of August 2013.

Dear Ray,
I was planning to sell my home in 2013 and downsize, but I just learned that there is a new 3.8-percent tax on real estate sales that goes into effect next year.
Does this apply to all real estate sales? Should I try to sell my home in 2012 to avoid the new tax?
There is an e-mail that's been circulating on the Internet about a new "Obamacare" 3.8-percent tax on home sales. The e-mail is intended to frighten people, particularly older folks who are considering downsizing. The e-mail is a mixture of fact and fiction, but mostly fiction.
The Affordable Care Act, aka "Obamacare," imposes a new 3.8-percent tax on investment income for the wealthy. It only applies to couples who make more than $250,000 or individuals who make more than $200,000. Investment income could include the profits from real estate sales. However, it would only be applicable to those with higher incomes who make up less than 5 percent of all taxpayers.
Starting on Jan. 1, 2013, the tax rates on long-term capital gains and dividends for higher-income earners will jump from the current historic low of 15 percent to 18.8 percent, assuming Congress extends the current law.
(If, on the other hand, Congress allows the tax rates set in 2001 and 2003 to expire on Dec. 31 — an unlikely scenario, according to many experts — the top rate on capital gains will rise to 23.8 percent, and the top rate on dividends will nearly triple, to 43.4 percent.)
The government currently imposes taxes on investment income in various ways, and it could have simply raised current taxes, rather than creating a new tax. Lawmakers wanted to link the new tax revenues to health care, so the money will go to the Medicare trust fund to pay for health care. This is the first time investment income will be subject to Medicare taxes.
Let me be clear: The new tax does not specifically apply to all real estate transactions, but rather to investments. The chances are, this tax will not apply to you, unless you are wealthy or sell your home for a substantial profit.
How it would apply to you
Let's assume you're retired, and thinking of selling your home and downsizing.Most or all of the equity in your home is already tax-free because of a longstanding tax exemption on the profits from home sales. Individuals are not taxed on the first $250,000 of profit, and couples enjoy a $500,000 exemption on the profit from the sale of their home. (That's profit, or the equity in your home — not the sale price.)
If you are wealthy and/or you sell your home at a substantial profit, you may be obligated to pay the new 3.8-percent tax on any income over the limit of the exemptions to which you are entitled.
But most Americans won't need to worry about the tax. To be hit with the new tax, you would need to clear more than $250,000 profit, which means $250,000 more than you paid for the home.
From The Wall Street Journal: "Absent guidance from the IRS, experts believe the tax applies to dividends, rents, royalties, interest (except municipal-bond interest), short- and long-term capital gains, the taxable portion of annuity payments, income from the sale of a principal home [more than] the $250,000/$500,000 exclusion, a net gain from the sale of a second home; and passive income from real estate and investments in which a taxpayer doesn't materially participate, such as a partnership."
My advice: Talk to your CPA. The new tax is confusing to many people, and Internet blogs and chain e-mails are not the best source of information. Your CPA can advise you about your financial situation and any legal tax exemptions that may be available to you. The chances are the new tax won't apply to you.
A final thought: Take heart, the value of your Seattle home is on the rise. Your home will likely be worth an additional 12 percent by the end of 2012.

Flipping thru the channels to have something on while I was removing wall paper (what fun) the other evening, came across something on animal planet that sort of featured the new Blue Wahoos stadium. Some show called "tanked" follows around 2 guys who design fish tanks for a living. Anyhoo, they were going to install a tank into an old bus for the new stadium. They had some early shots, while the stadium was being built at the begining of the show. Unfortunetly I didn't get to see the end, but one of the guys was suppose to throw out an opening pitch, so I assume there were some shots of the new stadium complete. Looks like it would be a nice facility.
anyhoo, thought some might be interested, might be able to find it on the web or look for when it re-airs.

Woodland High School students welcomed a group of more than 80 U.S. veterans to the campus Wednesday morning to share breakfast and history.
"Students can learn about the history, without reading the history books," said Mike Owens, a history teacher and coordinator of the event, now in its eighth year. "We don't want the stories to go away, we want to keep them here."
Michelle Seijas, principal of Woodland High, agreed that this event was a great way for students to learn about history first hand.
"This is an opportunity for students to have their learning come to life," she said.
Owens started the morning with the Pledge of Allegiance in the high school library where veterans from each branch of the military traded stories, showed each other photographs, and waited for the students to arrive.
Each year, students sit with a veteran, asking them questions about their service while eating breakfast.
Owens said that he still has students come up to him, asking about the veteran that they interviewed. On some occasions, he has to tell the students that their veteran passed away.
"A lot of students, including myself, had a hard time with that," Owens said with tears in his eyes.
Veterans, both young and old, were mustered to three campus locations, allowing for a more intimate morning with the students.
Evelyn Dahl, a Navy veteran, had three girls at her table. Dahl joined the Navy during World War II, serving from 1943 to 1945, with the intent of working in a clerical position. After going through basic training, which she described as "a wonderful experience," she was placed at a hospital and worked as a physical therapist.
Dahl had a photograph of herself when she entered the Navy, in which one of the three girls at her table took a picture with her cell phone. One of the other students asked her if she made friends in the military, to which she quickly said yes describing them as "good friends."
"I've outlived all of the people I was friends with in the Navy," she said. "And that's sad."
Another veteran, Pearl Wallace, joined Dahl's table telling her story. She joined the Army during WWII and served for five years from 1948 to 1953. She worked as a clerk typist and traveled abroad to Austria, Japan, and Germany, where she met her husband who was also in the military.
Wallace said she liked the Army because she got a chance to meet all types of people and travel the world, and said she would recommend joining the military, especially if you are not sure what you want to do.
One student asked Wallace if she would have gone into combat if that had been an option for women at the time. "I wouldn't have gone into combat," she said. "Women can do a lot of things, but combat would put a lot of stress on a woman."
On the other side of the library sat Jack Laurer, a Navy veteran who worked on submarines. He told his group of students stories about submarines, stating that the longest amount of time he spent underwater was 67 days straight.
He explained how the submarines worked and showed before and after photos of a submarine that crashed into a mountain underwater, illustrating what could go wrong if navigation is off. "The whole purpose of a submarine is to stay undetected," he said.
Nearly all the veterans asked students if they were interested in joining the military. Many of the students said no or were unsure what they wanted to do. Students continued to listen to their stories, asking more questions until the bell rang for the next class period.

When speaking with Paul George, no matter if hes coming off of a 16-point, 17-rebound effort in a win or a 11-point, 3-rebound clunker in a loss, theres always one constant: hes quick to dismiss his own accomplishments.
Thats why it was so surprising when, while on the phone with SLAM late last week, George vigorously patted his own back.
I think I might be the best in the League, hands down, the Indiana Pacers starting small forward surprisingly said.
And then he finished the thought and all was right in the world again.
[The] best Call of Duty player in the NBA has gotta be me.
All jokes aside, George, 22, is widely regarded as one of the most promising young players in the NBA. Of course, with Danny Granger sidelined for at least three months with a knee injury, the Pacers are going to need George to cash in on his vast array of talents sooner than later.
While on the road last week, George called SLAM and discussed accelerated expectations and Grangers absence, Call of Duty and Nate Robinson, and LeBron James and China.
SLAM: I saw you tweeting before the season started about FIFA and NBA 2K. Are you a big video game head?
Paul George: Man, Im a huge videogame head. Thats how I spend, you know, pretty much all my off time.
SLAM: What kind of games did you grow up playing?
PG: Umm, I was really on Madden when I was young. I was on like the Madden, Halo, 2K. You know that was the game I was really into when I was younger.
SLAM: Okay. And that was on Xbox?
PG: Yeah. Xbox and the 360, man. I started out PlayStation, but then I gradually moved to Xbox.
SLAM: And we were just talking about the new COD: Black Ops II coming out. Are you a big fan of the Call of Duty series?
PG: Im huge on Call of Duty, man. I think Im, I think I might be the best in the League, hands down. Best Call of Duty player in the NBA has gotta be me.
SLAM: You think so?
PG: Yeah. By far, by far.
SLAM: I heard Nate Robinsons pretty nice on there.
PG: Nah, man. I mean, Ill screenshot after I play a game, Ill screenshot my work of art. I dont think a lot of cats can compete with that.
SLAM: You play with a lot of your teammates?
PG: Yeah. Well a couple of years ago me, BRush (Brandon Rush), and Danny [Granger] used to play almost after every practice. Wed team up and play against everybody online or whatever. And we would win, we would win.
SLAM: You playing with any of your current teammates too?
PG: I play with Gerald Green. We still play the zombies. Thats something we still get after.
SLAM: You should be careful, man. While Dannys out, aside from rehabbing, hes gonna have a lot of time on his hands to get his game up.
PG: I encourage that (laughs). Dannys gotta get a little better man. He could tell you that he cant mess with me.
SLAM: Its just a good way for teammates to bond right?
PG: Yeah, it isespecially how good the gameplay of Call of Duty is. You know, I mean, it was serious. I remember when they came out with Modern Warfare 2. I remember it like it was yesterday: we all went to GameStop at the mall, and we waited in the long lines, and we were excited to get that game.
SLAM: Brad Beal was telling me he kind of had to pull himself away from the last game because he was getting so addicted. You ever feel that way like, Yo, Im wasting too much time on this?
PG: Ahh, it does. I mean it kind of does. At some point you just get caught up in the game so much to where the time is flying, and especially if youre playing good. If you going on a streak where you doing numbers then it gets that much more addicting.
SLAM: If you could play against any NBA player, who would you want to play against?
PG: I dont know. I mean, it would have to be whoeveryou said Nate Robinson is pretty good, it would probably be Nate then. I gotta go against the best.
SLAM: Yeah, I hear hes the truth.
PG: OK, yeah. I gotta go against him then. See what hes talking about.
SLAM: So the Pacers are struggling a little bit so far this season. What do you think has to change just to turn it around?
PG: We really just gotta get comfortable with one another. I think our chemistry is starting to grow. You know, we could easily be 4-1; theres been a couple plays that we just messed up on. But its still early in the season; I dont think were in panic mode yet. We got time to still grow.
Wev got a lot of new guys, and we werent prepared of course for Danny to go out and not be with us for the year. At the same time, we gotta work just little stuff. We havent really seen zone, and thats what teams are starting to play against us, thats what theyre starting to do. Just with time well gradually start getting better with it.
SLAM: With Danny out, how does that change what youre trying to do personally?
PG: (Pauses) It just makes me have to be a little more aggressive. He attracted so much [attention] for us as far as getting to the line, creating and knocking down shots, being a go-to. So, just everybody has to be accountable on being more aggressive and kind of pick up the load a little bit more.
SLAM: Right, right. People want you to all of a sudden be this big scorer, but do you feel like thats just not your aggressive nature?
PG: I just feel like Im a player. I feel like Ive always been a person that just let the game come to me and the way that were setup is we get into plays, we run action, and I try to find the best available play thats gonna happen. A lot of stuff comes from the defensive end too. I work so hard on the defensive end that sometimes Im gassed on the offensive end, or Im not looking to score because I exerted so much energy on the defensive end.
SLAM: Yeah. Youre playing 40 minutes a night, man. You getting tired at all?
PG: Not really. You know what I mean, not really. Im still young so I think I still got them young legs.
SLAM: I saw that you were with LeBron in china this summer. What did you take away with you from that experience?
PG: I had a lot of time to spend with Bron while we was up there. We didnt really talk about basketball; It was kind of just a bond of being competitors and you know having time to spend together. It was more so just that, but hes somebody that I can idolize my game after. We kind of do the same things as far as being able to handle the ball and create, rebound and defend, all that type of stuff. Hes somebody that I definitely watch play.
SLAM: Do yall stay in touch at all?
PG: Not really. More of just an off-season thing.
SLAM: Do you think its gonna be like a little weird if you run into him in the Playoffs now? Just that now you kind of know each other now
PG: Nah, it wont be weird. At the end of the day we know what our job is, and our job is to compete and play basketball. I dont know how but athletes, we get the knocked for being friends in the NBA like its not good. But its gonna happen. But, we all know at the end of the day, we play basketball and were basketball players.


text: Hi Matthieu, thanx for the reply. as far as i know it shouldn't be a problem at all in theory. in fact convergence theorems for newton methods and, in general, descent method do not require the function to be defined everywhere. you need just a function defined in an open convex set that has compact sublevel sets - e.g f(x) = x - log(x). this is exactly my situation. it is just a matter of slightly changing the line search method to reject steps that would lead to an infinite value. i will look at how it is implemented in scipy and see if it can be fixed easily. /Enrico On Tue, Sep 14, 2010 at 5:51 PM, Matthieu Brucher < email@example.com> wrote: > Hi, > > There are two categories of contraints optimizations: > - you can evaluate the function outside the constraints > - you cannot evaluate the function outsde the constraints. > > If the first one can be handled by more general algorithms providing some > tricks, you cannot use them for the second one.

MOTUC news galore...
Toy Fair 2010 coverage brought to you by the following fine sponsors: BigBadToyStore.com, PastGenerationToys.com, and Sekaido.com (YesAnimation.com).
Can you tell us approximately how many months in the remainder of this year will feature a bonus figure for MOTUC?
Aside from what has been revealed at Toy Fair, will there be any additional reveals of upcoming MattyCollector.com figures before Comic-Con?There will be three to four "quarterly" basic-size figures in 2010. Sometimes, these are figures we prepare as a backup in case a planned monthly figure slips in the schedule. If, and when, that happens the bonus figure will simply ship as a monthly figure in its place.
Based on the acid vial accessory that was shown at the Masters of The Universe 'Under the Influence Art Show', it is obvious that a Keldor figure is coming. Since you have already stated that King Grayskull will be re-releleased later this year and they are both heavily influenced by the 200X cartoon it would make a lot sense to release both figures in the same month. Is that Mattel's plan?Possibly, but nothing to announce yet.
Out of the remaining months in 2010, approximatelly how many MOTUC, POP, 200X and New Adventures figures do you plan to release in 2010?Keldor is tentitivly a quarterly bonus figure for late summer, but that may change is another monthly figure slips schedule.
Are there any plans to release a core Justice League box set for the DC Universe 6" line?We can't really answer something like this because if a figure slips schedule we will sub in a bonus figure in its place, which would "throw off" any count we provide.
Not at this time but don't count it out.

Every day is 'Take Your Daughters To Work Day' if you're Sarah Jessica Parker. On Monday (February 27) the actress had the help of a nanny when getting 2-year-old twins Tabitha and Loretta (ponytail) into her car for a trip to her office in New York City.
Mom and her two girls had on matching grey coats. Maybe they were all dressed for a business meeting?
Everyone is waiting to hear Sarah's opinion on the news that actress AnnaSophia Robb has been cast in the coveted role of a young Carrie Bradshaw in the upcoming Sex And The City prequel series.
The Carrie Diaries, based on the novel by Candace Bushnell, follows Carrie's high school years in 1980s Manhattan before she grew up and becamse the sex columnist in the popular HBO series.

Even though both candidates to replace Mayor Jerry Sanders oppose the city's red-light camera program, the Sanders administration is pushing ahead with renewal options for when the contract expires in January.
Bill Harris, a city spokesman, said Wednesday that staff recommendations will be in the hands of a City Council committee within the "next six weeks to be sure," meaning before the new mayor is sworn in on Dec. 3.
Mayoral candidates Carl DeMaio and Bob Filner agree the $490 fines — set by state law — are too high. Filner says the program should be about public education, and DeMaio says the cameras can cause accidents as people brake suddenly.
Sanders' office did not respond to multiple calls and emails asking why he is pressing forward rather than deferring to his successors.
Council President Tony Young said he does not expect Sanders to withhold action from council.
"He understands that the council should be a partner in all of this," Young said. "Knowing the mayor, that is not his style of doing things, which I appreciate."
Harris said the report headed to council may include multiple options for the future of the program for council to consider, and that council could decide to end the program.
Harris also said red light accidents are down along with red-light ticket revenue, which would mean the program is accomplishing its mission to reduce red light running and accidents. After paying expenses, the program made about $200,000 in fiscal year 2011.
"The concern is that we bring the highest quality report to council, and that's because it's in the public interest," Harris said.
Some who contacted The Watchdog say broadside accidents are more serious than rear-end, and the cameras help prevent those.
"I have spent nearly half my life in pain as a result of being T-boned by a red light runner, 33 years for a selfish act, and my mother lost her husband, my dad," wrote Tony Williams of San Diego. "When we read about someone being hurt in an accident we have no idea how it impacts their life, just because someone was in a hurry or not paying attention....
"I think it would be a big mistake to remove the cameras."

A 19-year-old man has been arrested in connection to the chemical attack on Friday.
He was arrested yesterday evening on suspicion of assault and has been taken to Colchester Police Station where he is currently being interviewed by detectives.
A 56-year-old man was left with potentially life changing injuries to his hands and face in the attack on Friday in Bramble Road, Witham, after two men threw a harmful substance over him.
