Hi! Thank you for stopping by to watch me, Leah, cook kosher. I've been the owner operator of my boutique catering firm in Seattle, Leah's Catering, for the past 14 years.

Seattle Snow Days
Catering is a time sensitive business; more than even UPS next day deliveries. We don't get 'next day' options. We don't really get 5 minute options (she says with a smile!) The party starts when the client says it starts and that is about it. Enter Seattle snow.
A mixture of snow, ice and rain over the past days leaves me with brain-freeze. Struggling to compartmentalize what I've accomplished, what's on hold and what is definitely happening, I repeatedly check my calendar against the date on my Blackberry. Given I went to a meeting on Tuesday morning that was supposed to be today, Thursday, I second guess myself. I don't know what day or time it is, what to do. Workaholics succumb to cabin fever faster than most; it's been 2 days! My inner bear longs to hibernate or get to work. Stressing about what is going to happen leaves me unsettled.
Last Sunday, catering a 60th wedding anniversary party, we focus on weather and time. A 10 mile commute looms as a challenge if it snows. At 8:30 am, the first vehicles roll out and arrive as planned. I leave the kitchen at 10:00 and take the Interstate. Nearing the exit, blizzard conditions whip flakes into the wipers and I calculate how best to reach the synagogue perched on a hilltop, one hill away. Rounding a bend, it all stops and is absolutely clear. Not a flake in sight. I head straight uphill, downhill and uphill again without incident.
We still wonder if guests will realize that there isn't any snow in Seward Park and make their ways to the party. A full house arrives and the simcha begins. What a wonderful celebration; 60 years of marriage! Listening from the kitchen, the musical entertainment is lively, fun, and inspiring. Relief.
Nearing the time to cut the cake, snow fall is perceived from the social hall windows. An exodus on par with Passover leaves helium balloons mocking party aftermath. I want to stutter, "What about us?" I know we have another hour to clean up and it is coming down. The picture above taken from the parking lot of the neighboring synagogue shows just how fast the weather changes. Behind the wheel of my "all wheel drive", I plan the route home.
You may wonder what the big deal is. This is Seattle, built like Rome on 7 hills. We have 2 snow plows and serious environmental concerns over the use of salt and sand. We were 0-1 against the salmon and the previous mayor. Taking my server home, with my daughter Aviva in the back seat, we are relieved to find somewhat clear main drags. I ask Lecia to roll out of the moving car near her corner so I don't have to stop.
Proceeding with optimism that the road ahead down the hill will also be clear, I relax my shoulders from around my ears. Hopes dashed, I queue up with the line of U-turners at the crest of the hill. This is a grip of mine; "road closed" signs are posted at the exact point of closure without forewarning. Doubling back, like the local I am, I get on course and get back to Hillel. That was Sunday.
I don't even remember Monday. Tuesday I go to the meeting that isn't happening. Recognizing my error, I graciously glide across the lobby of the Fairmont Olympic and head to the grocery supply store. The manager is huddled with his crew and they are talking about going home. Did I miss something? Yes ~ the snow on Sunday wasn't THE snow. That is coming. Brother.
I have a group coming in from NYC and they need a meal. No, they need 2 meals. Wait, not that meal this day but that meal that day. No, we mean we don't need any meals because we are in San Francisco because the airport in Seattle is closed. I'm glad they are in San Francisco. I explain that I'd be happy to send them back their money (professional caterer mode) AND they'd be nuts to come to Seattle at night and drive north to Canada (Jewish mother mode!). I've left out the countless emails and phone calls over the situation. I also don't know how disappointed the group participants are to be stuck in San Francisco (how bad could it be?!). But, it meant one more day at home for me....wondering what the heck I'm doing.
My Roosevelt neighborhood
(not pictured: Whole Foods and Starbuck's - LOL)
(pictured: bus that wouldn't be anywhere in sight if I needed it and, unforunately, the guy with the cardboard sign asking for food and money)
At Hillel, we've decided that Shabbat dinner must go on. I can't really shop for more than I can carry (seriously, driving around here is impossible) so our theme for the week is "Survivor Shabbat". I'll cook what I have...and, they'll eat what the group in San Francisco isn't eating! I look forward to the hike to Hillel in the morning and putting dinner together for 60 or so UW undergrads. The party must go on!

Foley wants ruthless Munster after Treviso win
Treviso 5 - Munster28
Munster head coach Anthony Foley has urged his side to show more of a cutting edge after battling to a 28-5 Champions Cup triumph over Benetton Treviso.
Early scores from wing Ronan O'Mahony and prop David Kilcoyne had the Irish province seemingly in control before Munster made some unforced errors and Treviso's powerful pack got the hosts back in it thanks to a drive-over try from Marco Lazzaroni.
Conor Murray ghosted through to score in the second half, though, and O'Mahony sealed the bonus point and a comfortable win for Foley's side, who were already out of the Champions Cup. But the former Munster back-row wants his side to be more clinical for the remainder of their campaign.
He said: "It was a bit scrappy at times, but I thought we started really well by getting the 14 points.
"We gave them a foothold back in the game and they got some dominance in the scrum at the end of the first half, which allowed them to build pressure on us as we conceded penalties and got a yellow card. It's just the lack of execution at times.
"We put a good physical stamp on it but, after we scored a couple of tries, we thought we could score from anywhere, which is the wrong attitude to have."
Clermont Auvergne crashed out of the European Champions Cup after getting their sums wrong in a dramatic finish to their final Pool 2 match at the Stade Marcel-Michelin. The home side would have progressed through to the quarter-finals with a losing bonus point but they failed to realise the significance of a last-minute penalty awarded to them in front of the posts and, instead of going for goal, ran the ball in a vain attempt to score a fifth try.
Clermont had led 28-20 after 62 minutes but conceded 17 points while down to 14 men to suffer a 37-28 loss to Bordeaux-Begles. It ended Clermont's 25-game winning run at home in Europe as they finished bottom of the group in which Exeter booked a place in the knock-out stages thanks to a bonus-point win over Ospreys.
Clermont made a dream start by racing into a 14-0 lead after six minutes thanks to tries from Jonathan Davies and Noa Nakaitaci, both converted by Morgan Parra.
However, forwards Berend Botha and Sebastien Taofifenua both powered over for tries, goaled by Lionel Beauxis, as Bordeaux drew level and two penalties from Baptiste Serin put them 20-14 in front.
When Damien Chouly and Paul Jedrasiak went over for quickfire tries, Clermont looked to have booked their last-eight berth but Bordeaux made full use of the extra man, with Paulin Riva and Peter Saili scoring tries that broke the hearts of the home fans.

DETROIT - After more than 60 miles over three days, the 1,100 people who participated in the 2012 Susan G. Komen Michigan 3-Day have raised more than $3.2 million for breast cancer research, scientific programs and community-based breast health and education programs.
"We are so thankful for Michigan's continued support of our mission to end breast cancer," said Sheri Phillips, national spokesperson for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day. "This is our ninth successful event in Michigan and we are excited to announce the Komen 3-Day will return to this amazing city for the 2013 Series."
The 3-Day is a life-changing experience that commenced months ago when participants began their training and fundraising efforts in their local communities. After embarking on their journey Friday, participants spent the weekend walking 60 miles through Michigan communities and camped two nights at Greenmead Historic Site. Earlier today, these women and men concluded their three-day journey with a powerful Closing Ceremony at Ford World Headquarters.
Komen funds more breast cancer research than any other nonprofit—$740 million to date.

With the success of the Archie reboot and the possible television show, Archie has been everywhere lately. Now Archie is even planning a Broadway musical. Remember, this is coming off of the heals of the failed comic book adaption of Spider-Man on Broadway, Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark.
Adam McKay will be the playwright behind the production with a songwriter still unannounced. Adam McKay has worked on films like Anchorman and Talladega Nights. McKay describes the musical to be "bright, colorful, and slightly demented." Archie Comics CEO John Goldwater and chief creative officer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa will also be involved in the production.
I personally think Archie is a great fit for Broadway. Archie and the gang are part of a band which I think can translate to the Broadway stage very well. What do you think about this piece of news? Are you excited to see Archie on Broadway? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

A first-rate cast is the one thing that "My Life Without Me" has that most of the like-minded, supposedly "four-hanky" melodramas produced by cable television's Lifetime network don't.
Any film that features the likes of Sarah Polley and Mark Ruffalo two indie-film actors who always give their all, no matter the quality of the material already has a lot going for it. Yet, curiously, this weepy drama seems a little flatter, less involving, than it should. Especially with a cast like this.
Some of its plotting and character development seem just plain wrong-headed. At times, it's as if the film is trying to get us to dislike its main character, Ann (Polley), a young woman who's dying of cancer.
She's a twentysomething mother of two who got married and had children at a very young age. Ann begins to realize that she's never really "lived" when her doctor gives her a grim diagnosis (she's got months remaining, at most).
So she tries to start living her life in earnest. She begins taping a series of birthdays-to-come messages for her young daughters (Jessica Amlee and Kenya Jo Kennedy), and tries to find another wife for her-soon-to-be-spouseless husband (Scott Speedman). She even gets a long-overdue makeover.
But she keeps her terminal illness from all of them as well as from Lee (Ruffalo), an unhappy, divorced man with whom she's gotten involved (making love to other men is another thing on her peculiar "to-do-before-I-die" list).
The character of Ann is written as though she has a chip on her shoulder, which makes it difficult to feel sorry for her, despite her obvious plight. Still, the doe-eyed Polley does her best to make us sympathize with her as much as we possibly can.Comment on this story
Ruffalo does her performance one better. Thanks to his tormented turn, Lee emerges as the film's most easy-to-like character, one who deserves better than he actually receives here. (As does Speedman's seemingly clueless husband character, though he's not nearly as well-developed.)
"My Life Without Me" is rated R for scattered use of strong sexual profanity, a brief sex scene and other sexual contact, brief drug content (use of prescription drugs) and some sexually suggestive talk and other innuendo. Running time: 102 minutes.

by R. David Anderson, B.S., R.Ph., D.Sc
A brief item appeared in the PEOPLE'S PHARMACY in which the healing value of sugar for skin tears was lauded. You responded that Dr. Richard Knutson was an early researcher who published his findings regarding sugar's healing qualities in a respected medical journal in 1981 (South Med J. 1981; 74: 1329-36) History demands a clarification. Dr. Knutson was, in fact, a "Johnny come lately." The journal states that he and his co-authors began their research in January 1976.
I began my 60+ year career in hospital pharmacy at the Medical College of Virginia and eventually retired at the Waynesboro Community Hospital in Waynesboro, VA. (WCH). Dr. Treacy O'Hanlon was a general surgeon at WCH who also held a joint appointment as principal surgeon and consultant at the widely recognized Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center in nearby Fishersville, VA. Most of his patients were para- and quadriplegics with decubitus ulcers and pressure sores who suffered long, painful and difficult to heal skin ulcers, often deep into bone or muscle tissue. Dr. O'Hanlon had instructed the nursing staffs at both facilities to place table sugar into these wounds which he found effective, but did not remain in place for extended periods. Consequently it required frequent re-dressing, which was not without additional pain for the patient.
I arrived at the Waynesboro Community Hospital in 1964 as Director of Pharmacy Services. Dr. O'Hanlon asked me almost immediately if I could devise some sort of "paste" containing the highest concentration of sugar possible. After multiple attempts, I found that by combining simple syrup, containing 85% sugar, and a sufficient quantity of Eucerin (Aquaphor) ointment, a smooth, easily applied, and easily removed "paste" with a concentration of about 50% sugar would result. It became standard treatment at both institutions and was frequently requested by the staff at University of Virginia and other regional hospitals to manage difficult-to-treat bed sores and other conditions. My wife, a registered nurse who also worked closely with Dr. O'Hanlon and his patients, gladly submits that this composition worked wonders with managing these skin and tissue complications while improving infection control and reducing nursing costs.
I have no idea how many patients we might have treated over many years, but Dr. Knutson deserves credit for defining the use of sugar at least 12 years following Dr. O'Hanlon, who never published his findings.

Sunday, Dec. 12, 2010 | 2:17 p.m.
Last night was the 10th and final round of the 52nd Wrangler National Finals Rodeo at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center, and contributing photographer Tom Donoghue was onsite, as he has been from the very beginning of the competition, to capture the Super Bowl of the rodeo world and history being made. Our friends at ProRodeo.com, the NFR's official Web site, reported the following:
Trevor Brazile smiled from ear to ear, pumped his fist to the crowd and walked out of the Thomas & Mack Center with his second Triple Crown in four years. The Decatur, Texas, cowboy won the NFR Tie-Down Roping average and finished second with Patrick Smith in the Team Roping average to win world titles in both events to add to his record eighth all-around crown, which he secured in Round 2.
In front of a sold-out crowd of 17,683, Brazile won his first Tie-Down Roping average and first Team Roping Gold Buckle en route to becoming only the third cowboy in Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association history to become a multiple Triple Crown winner, joining Pro Rodeo Hall of Famers Jim Shoulders (1956-58) and Everett Bowman (1935, 1937). He also is the first cowboy to earn $500,000 in a single season, with $507,921.
"It means so much to me because I think everything has gotten so specialized," said Brazile, who now has 14 world titles. "Nobody shows up and does three events on the same horse anymore because it's so competitive. That's why I work my tail off every year -- because of the respect I have for my competition. I don't take these championships lightly because I know how tough the field was. I've been blessed."
Because of those earnings at the NFR, Brazile won the Wrangler NFR's all-around title and the inaugural Ram Top Gun Award, which includes a 2011 Ram 3500. Brazile and Smith, the 2005 world champion heeler, won the Team Roping world championship. In the Tie-Down Roping, Brazile finished with $233,827 to claim his third Gold Buckle in that event in four years (2007, 2009).
Bareback rider Bobby Mote, who came into this year's NFR in fifth place in the PRCA World Standings, won his fourth world title. Nebraska steer wrestler Dean Gorsuch won his second world championship; his first was in 2006. Cody Wright won the head-to-head battle against Wade Sundell to earn his second Saddle Bronc Riding Gold Buckle. J.W. Harris became the first bull rider since Don Gay (1979-81).
Sherry Cervi clinched her third world championship in Round 9 and finished second in the Wrangler NFR average to finish the season with $299,894. "This season's been outstanding, I can't even explain it," Cervi said. "I had momentum going into this year from the Finals last year, and it kept going through the year. My horse (Stingray) has worked outstanding, and I'm very grateful for her. She's a superstar."
Jill Moody won the Wrangler NFR average with a record 10-run total time of 138.26 seconds, earning an event-best $133,035 to finish second in the world behind Cervi with $219,686. Her total time broke the previous mark of 138.93 seconds from 1986, the oldest Wrangler NFR average record in the books.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Make Chicken Tikka (Indian Barbecued Chicken)
Creating a chicken dish can be easy, but all too often, it tastes bland. Rather than preparing chicken with barbecue sauce on it or a standard herb mix, try something a little different from what you usually make. This is wikiHow to make chicken tikka, or Indian barbecued chicken.
1Thaw the chicken, if frozen. Take the boneless chicken pieces or strips and cut them into pieces. Make each piece about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long and wide. You do not need to be very precise - just make sure they are the right size to fit on a skewer.
2Add a scoop of plain (preferably refrigerated) yogurt into a bowl. The quantity of yogurt should be just enough to cover all the chicken pieces.
3Sprinkle a teaspoon of turmeric powder and red chili powder on top of the yogurt. Finally, add a teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste on the top.
4Stir the entire mixture in the bowl with a spoon or fork for 5 minutes and drop in the chicken pieces one at a time with one hand, stirring the mixture in the bowl with your other hand using the fork or spoon.
5Cover the bowl with cling foil and let it stand in the fridge for about 30 minutes (but you can leave it in overnight, if you have the time). This allows the chicken to absorb more flavor.
6Preheat your oven to about 450 degrees when you are ready. Line a pan with aluminum foil and keep it aside.
7Bake the chicken for about 10 to 15 minutes. You will notice that fat drips out of the chicken into the pan.
8Carefully remove the pan from the oven and carefully remove the chicken pieces off of the skewers and into a serving dish. If you plan to consume it in stages, leave the rest back in the oven to keep it warm (but ensure you switch off the oven first).
9Serve hot with green chutney or mango chutney or eat as is.

- A Charcoal grill enhances taste.
- You may garnish the finished tikka with some coriander leaves.
- Use kitchen scissors instead of a knife to cut chicken up.
- If the tikka turns out to be spicier/hotter than your taste, squeeze a lemon quarter over it to reduce the spice effect.
- To make a cooler tikka (called Malai Chicken Tikka), in the marinating mixture, use heavy cream instead of red chili and marinate a little longer. This will make the chicken soft and tender and the absence of chili reduces the spice.
- Go easy on the chili if you are not used to hot spices.
- One teaspoon of yogurt per chicken piece+3 additional spoons is a good equation when you're preparing the chicken.
- When adding or removing the pan from the oven, remember it can be very hot. Use an oven mitt.
- Take great care when using the oven. Remember it can be very hot and can burn you.
Things You'll Need
- Boneless and skinless chicken pieces or strips - about 1 pound for 3 person servings
- A knife to cut the chicken with
- A mixing bowl and a spoon or fork
- Plain yogurt (refrigerated)
- A teaspoon of turmeric powder
- Red Chili powder (to your taste)
- A teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste
- Cling foil and aluminum foil roll
- Baking pan and skewers (even bamboo will do)
- Green or mango chutney
- Coriander Leaves (optional)
- Lemon quarters (optional)

Performance without injury in aquatic sports
The project aims to maximize performance in rowing, kayak and dragon boat while minimizing the propensity for injury by identifying the main factors that determine performance in both equipment and athlete in the real environment of the sport.
Research Location
Exercise, Health and Performance Research Group
Program Type
Competition at an elite level demands very high strength, endurance and expert application of technique, over the whole race distance. Athletes need the most efficient equipment available to maximally harness their inherent ability. Results from the world championships in the early 2000's confirm that the margins between the placegetters have been decreasing and places are often divided by only tenths or hundredths of seconds, which is less than 0.1% of the time for a 1,000m race. Very small differences in the skill and fitness of the athlete and the efficiency of equipment, including all aspects of design, can determine the final placing in the competition. The aims of this project are to expand the knowledge base of functional oar/paddle operation, design oars and paddles that are matched to the requirements of particular body types, and to fine-tune athlete-boat interaction for maximum performance. The objectives are to:
- Investigate the efficiency of different blade designs by measuring the magnitude, direction, and point of application of the reaction force of the water on the blade and the velocity of the blade relative to the water.
- Determine the efficiency of the water craft in interaction with the anthropometric characteristics of the athlete.
- Find the optimum stroke rate/stroke length combination for efficient power output to the water craft.
Additional Information
Although many studies are conducted in the laboratory, the emphasis is on measurement in race or simulated race conditions on-water. The knowledge obtained from these field studies is used to build valid simulators for more in-depth (eg joint-by-joint) studies of the processes of power production from the athlete. Information from both these areas is used to build computer models of athlete-boat to gain further insight into the process of maximizing performance.

It was going to be a quick decision for Rivals100 linebacker Michael Morgan. However, coming off his final official visit, it was a little too quick to make that pick on a local television station in the Dallas area so the four-star prospect just cut his list to three schools.
Now, the No. 10 rated player in the Lone Star state has a decision to make, but it's up in the air as to exactly when that will happen. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Morgan had drawn numerous offers from all over the country, but with his list only including Florida State, Southern Cal, and Texas A&M, anything can happen.
"He was really planning on announcing, but then for some reason, he just announced he was narrowing it down," Skyline assistant coach Derick Roberson said. "In my opinion, he had a really good visit to Florida State, but he had to rush to a television station and didn't have a chance to sit down with his parents to talk about the trip or anything."
Article Continues Below
"Michael just needed more time."
Coach Roberson says that there is really not one school that Morgan appears to be leaning to at this point. Apparently, there are a lot of things going on in the head of the talented prospect.
"I think he's pretty even about it all," Roberson said. "A&M is the closest and the other two, Southern Cal and FSU have great tradition as winning programs. I think he's kind of torn to be honest."
As for when a decision will come, that's another subject that has not been settled on yet. Coach Roberson expects to find out something later on this afternoon.
"That's a good question, because I don't even know the answer to that one," Roberson said. "I thought he would make it Sunday, I heard from one college that he told them it would be at the last minute. I didn't get that impression from Michael, but I was hoping it would be sometime today."
"We're trying to figure all of that out right now."
Morgan took official visits to USC on Oct. 28, Oklahoma on Dec. 9, Texas A&M on Jan. 20, and Florida State on Jan. 27.

I know WP doesn't do this but could I do the following instead?
Unlock the domain name, obtain the authorisation code and then register the domain as a 'new' domain and provide the code to prove I own the domain when informed it is already in use? I ask GoDaddy about it and this is what they told me.
To Transfer a Domain Name to a Different Registrar
Here's an overview of the transfer process when your domain name is being transferred to a different registrar. Some of these steps occur at your new registrar and some occur in your account here.
Advise your administrative contact that the domain name is being transferred.
Unlock your domain name. See Locking and Unlocking Your Domain Names for more information.
If applicable, cancel your private registration. For more information, see Canceling Private Registration for Your Domain Names.
Verify that your administrative contact is valid. For more information, see Updating Your Contact, Registrant, Administrator, Technical, or Billing Information.
Obtain the authorization code. Some domain name extensions do not use this. Check with your new registrar to see if you need an authorization code. If you need an authorization code, see Obtaining an Authorization Code to Transfer Your Domain Name for more information.
NOTE: For .eu domain name transfers, the authorization code is not required but can expedite the transfer.
The registry notifies us when you authorize the transfer to the new registrar.
We email you instructions to complete the transfer. If you do not authorize or deny the transfer request within 5 days, we automatically complete the transfer. See Accepting or Declining a Transfer to a Different Registrar for more information.
The registry notifies your new registrar of the transfer's acceptance or rejection.
We email you a confirmation when the transfer completes.
NOTE: The transfer between registrars takes from 5 to 7 days once you authorize the transfer.
A 60-day transfer restriction period applies when a registration is new, recently transferred, updated by changing the registrant's contact organization, or the registrant first or last name has been changed when an organization is not listed.

UN chief stresses need for all stakeholders in Africa to participate in peace processesListen /
It is important for all stakeholders in Africa to participate in peace processes after conflicts and for peace agreements to address the underlying causes of conflicts.
That's what United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told the Security Council on Monday as it discussed Peace and Security in Africa.
He said that conflicts breed where there is poor governance, human rights abuses as well as grievances over the unequal distribution of resources, wealth and power.
Secretary-General Ban noted 20 African countries hold elections this year.
He said the relatively peaceful elections in Kenya were an example of how electoral disagreements can be handled through the legal process without recourse to violence.
"In other cases elections can be a source of instability. The parties may use elections to continue the competition to divide the spoils of war. That is why it is so important for mediation of efforts to ensure that peace agreements are not just pacts between political elites that address the immediate political problem, they must also deal with the underlying causes of conflict and allow all stakeholders to participate."
The Secretary-General said Africa is still afflicted by interconnected instabilities spreading from one territory to its neighbours.

NOLANVILLE — Central Bell County Fire Rescue officials said an arson fire Sunday damaged the playground at Richard E. Cavazos Elementary School in Nolanville.
About $30,000 worth of damage was sustained, according to Capt. Jason Woodard.
"More than half of the playground is gone," Woodard said. What once stood as a rock-climbing wall and slide is now nothing more than melted drips of plastic. The perimeter of the playground is closed off from students by yellow police caution tape.
On Monday, children outside during recess looked at their teacher and asked why such a crime could have occurred, saying: "What happened to our beautiful playground?"
Woodward said the school's principal is reviewing footage from the school's security camera for any clue as to who might be responsible for setting the fire.
The fire did not damage any classrooms, and the cleanup and replacement of the damaged playground equipment will begin after the investigation is completed, a spokesperson for the Killeen Independent School District said.
Sunday's fire marked the second time a fire at a KISD campus was deemed an arson in the last six months.
In September, a major fire occurred at the Gateway Middle School in Killeen, causing an estimated $880,000 worth of damage and forcing the district to relocate about 100 students to another facility for the remainder of the school year. That arson is still under investigation by Killeen authorities.
Two other fires were reported in Nolanville in the past two days.
Woodard said a thrown cigarette is to blame for a grass fire that began around 2:24 p.m. Sunday in front of Mayflower Moving and Storage. Crews had to block traffic for 30 minutes until the blaze was contained.
Another grass fire was reported around 5:52 a.m. Monday in the 8600 block of U.S. Highway 190 near Nolanville Hill.
No injuries were reported from either grass fire.

Loss of forest cover due to deforestation, degradation and fragmentation is emerging as the single major factor threatening our wildlife. Many unique species of flora and fauna are closer to extinction now than ever before. Habitat preservation and restoration are urgent needs if our bio-diversity is to be conserved.
Junglescapes is a grassroots non-profit working on initiatives for ecological restoration of degraded forest eco-systems. We adopt an 'inclusive' model where local communities living in and around forest areas are actively involved in these initiatives, providing them valuable alternate livelihoods. This in turn fosters a sustainable conservation model where there is healthy inter-dependence between people and ecology. Furthermore, this helps preserve the rich ecological knowledge of these communities.
Our vision is to develop expertise in the practice of ecological restoration and community-participative conservation. Towards this goal, we strive to develop effective and scientifically sound methodologies for restoration of degraded forest eco-systems. We also focus on building capabilities within forest dwelling communities to demonstrate stewardship of their ecological heritage.

SINGAPORE – 5 May 2011 –Creative Technology Ltd today announced the launch of a brand new category of wireless speakers, the ZiiSound™ Dx series of wireless modular speakers. The ZiiSound Dx series consists of the ZiiSound D5x wireless one-piece speaker, ZiiSound D3x wireless one-piece speaker and ZiiSound DSx wireless subwoofer.
ZiiSound D3x
ZiiSound D5x
ZiiSound DSx
These speakers are set to redefine the home audio experience for consumers and establish a new standard for how retailers sell speakers. With the introduction of wireless modularity, Creative changes how consumers can purchase a home audio system.
Flexible Configuration
The ZiiSound Dx series revolutionises the home audio system. In this revolutionary new system, wireless speakers connect independently to stereo Bluetooth® devices such as the iPhone, Blackberry, Android phone, iPad or Creative ZiiO tablet, and can also be configured so more speakers are connected wirelessly to form a multi-channel home audio system. The ZiiSound Dx series also features renowned apt-X audio technology for outstanding sound quality.
Unlike with traditional speaker systems, users will no longer need to purchase a fixed speaker configuration for a specific use in the home. Creative's one-piece wireless modular speakers let users upgrade from a single speaker to a larger configuration by simply adding more speakers wirelessly.
Start Simple
1 x ZiiSound D5x
1 x ZiiSound D3x
Add Bass
1 x ZiiSound D5x + 1 x ZiiSound DSx
1 x ZiiSound D3x + 1x ZiiSound DSx
Get a Wider Soundstage
1 x ZiiSound D5x (Left Channel) + 1 x ZiiSound D5x (Right Channel)
1 x ZiiSound D3x (Left Channel) + 1 x ZiiSound D3x (Right Channel)
Create the Ultimate Wireless Entertainment Speaker System
1 x ZiiSound D5x (Left Channel) + 1 x ZiiSound D5x (Centre Channel) + 1 x ZiiSound D5x (Right Channel) + 1 x ZiiSound DSx
Flexible Placement
The built-in flexibility to add or subtract speakers means the same system can have many uses. Users will now be able to create different speakers systems – ideal for music, movies and games – for different rooms throughout the home.
A one-piece speaker for bedside music listening
A 2.1 speaker system for bedroom or study room for games or music listening
A 3.1 speaker system for living room music, movies and game audio entertainment
Low Basic Start Cost
Using wireless modular speakers will also translate into cost savings. Everyone will now be able to purchase a single wireless modular speaker unit for as low as S$199, with the assurance of being able to add on speakers later. This is unlike traditional speaker systems, where users are forced to buy another system to expand or reconfigure the existing speaker system. This translates into the high cost of purchasing multiple systems.
"With wireless modularity, everything changes when it comes to the home speaker system, both for the end-user and also for the retailer. With the ZiiSound Dx series of Bluetooth wireless speakers, consumers can enjoy the flexibility and versatility of starting with one speaker and expanding to a multi-channel home audio system," said Ting Lai Chu, Vice President for the Advanced Multimedia Group at Creative Technology Ltd.
"For the retailer, the change is no less profound. Today retailers have to keep stock of various system configurations with dedicated use, so inventory exposure is a challenge that they need to manage. With Creative's new range of wireless modular speakers, retailers simply need to keep the three speaker models of the ZiiSound Dx series in their inventory to meet consumer demand for single or multi-channel wireless speaker systems." she added.
Key Features of the ZiiSound Dx Series of Wireless Modular Speakers
Flagship modular wireless speaker system
*Bluetooth A2DP compliant devices**Via BT-D5 Bluetooth Transmitter
Affordable one-piece wireless modular speaker system made for smaller rooms
*Bluetooth A2DP compliant devices

In advance of any outrage, please note that New York Magazine's food critic Adam Platt acknowledged that Andy Ricker is not technically a new chef. But, he is new to New York, as is his uber-authentic Thai spot Pok Pok.
"Thanks to Andy Ricker, you don't have to travel to Chiang Mai to taste real Northern Thai cooking. You just have to get yourself to the Brooklyn waterfront," Platt wrote of Pok Pok in his "Where To Eat 2013."
Ricker also landed on his Five Best New Chefs list alongside Joseph Ogrodnek and Walker Stern of Battersby, pasta wizard Justin Smillie, and Atera's Matthew Lightner.
Added Adam, "The James Beard winner isn't really a New York chef, or new. But we're glad to have him in town."
See? He's all over you, Portland.
Refreshingly missing from "Where to Eat 2013" was Mission Chinese, which means that maybe next year we'll be able to get inside in less that two hours. Dare we dream to hope? Oh, well. Huddling around a keg for three hours just to have your face melted off by Szechuan peppers is fun, too.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant turned himself in to DeSoto, Texas police on Monday in connection with an incident involving his half-brother and mother. According to WFAA-TV in Dallas, Bryant was charged with family violence, a Class A misdemeanor that's punishable by up to a year in prison and a fine.
According to the Star-Telegram, the incident occurred on Saturday on the 800 block of East Pleasant Run in DeSoto. Details are a bit hazy at this point (the police report comes out today), but according to ESPN Dallas, Bryant was involved in an argument with his half brother and wound up pushing his mother, Angela.
(Reports from other outlets have the victim as Bryant's fiance, but the incident itself occurred at Bryant's mother's home. Either way, a female family member was pushed, and Dez was booked.)
As for the severity of said pushing: KDFW-TV in Dallas reports that the family member wasn't injured, and didn't want to be taken to the hospital.
Regardless of who was pushed or how hard, this is a terrible look for Bryant, who was having a quiet offseason up to this point. He faces a fine and up to a year in prison. Unless there's some really bad blood between him and mom (or his girl), it's a bit of a reach to expect him to go to jail over this. But jail probably isn't what he should be worried about at this point: the real issue for Bryant (and the Cowboys) is a possible suspension from Roger Goodell.
Dez has a history of off-the-field shenanigans. In March 2011, he received a criminal trespass warning from off-duty police officers at an upscale mall in Dallas after being asked to leave for wearing his pants too low and cursing. (Uptight Dallas mall-goers apparently don't enjoy seeing Dez Bryant's ass.) A week later, he was sued (two separate times) in connection with some unpaid jewelry — $850,000 worth. In December 2011, he was sued over $100,000 in borrowed money that he didn't pay back, which kind of defeats the purpose of "borrowing." In January, he was briefly detained (but never charged) in connection with a fight at a Miami nightclub. Quite a rap sheet, and all of that happened in a little over a year.
So Roger Goodell looks at that — and then looks at all of the other guys getting themselves arrested this offseason — and puts his disciplinarian hat on, because nothing gives Roger Goodell a hard-on like wearing his disciplinarian hat. For Bryant, it means he's probably going to miss a few games to start the season. For Tony Romo, it means he'll be throwing to Miles Austin and Jason Witten even more than he usually does.

There's a classic chicken salad on country white bread, too, topped with cranberries, almonds, tomatoes and mesclun. All calorie counts are listed on the menu.

Margulies had called "one of the prime movers in the community," would leave to take the helm of the little-known NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, part of NOVA Southeastern University. (Established in 1964, the private, nonsectarian school has about 28,000 students.)
Clearwater helped to raise MOCA North Miami to national stature, as part of Miami's rise to an important city on the global art circuit. She organized the first U.S. museum solos of artists ranging from Albert Oehlen and Jonathan Meese to Shinique Smith and Ceal Floyer. As she told A.i.A. by phone in her first interview since announcing her departure, she now embraces a seemingly unlikely goal: doing for Fort Lauderdale what she and others did for Miami. She recalls that in 2001, Art Basel Miami Beach, now a mega-fair, seemed a risky venture.
The diversity of the NSU Museum of Art's collection, which comprises 6,000 objects, was part of its draw, Clearwater told A.i.A. "The opportunity to expand beyond contemporary art is a great plus. I've been involved with contemporary art for—well, for much of the history of contemporary art!" she said, laughing. She ticked off a long list of areas of the museum's collection that she aims to emphasize, starting with its holdings of the early American Modernist William Glackens and its collection of a Latin American art. She also touts its strength in photography.
In previous jobs, she pointed out, she had cultivated several areas of expertise: "Originally my specialty was in medieval manuscripts," she said. She studied modern and medieval art at New York's Columbia University, finishing her studies in the late 1970s. "As Leonard and Evelyn Lauder's private curator for some years, my primary focus was Cubism. Later, as the curator of the Mark Rothko Foundation, I was immersed in abstraction and the New York School. So I've had many ideas for exhibitions that couldn't be realized at MOCA."
As for her timing, Clearwater told A.i.A. that an expansion of the Miami museum by architect Charles Gwathmey is under review with the board of trustees and the city. She opted to get out while the getting was good. "While things are still under consideration, it was an opportune time," she said, since if she broke ground on the project, she would have been obliged to see it through.
The modernist NSU Museum of Art was designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes (1915-2004), who also built Minneapolis's Walker Art Center and the Dallas Art Museum, and additions to the Carnegie Museum of Art, in Pittsburgh, Pa., and Los Angeles's Hammer Museum. The 83,000-square-foot museum has nearly 30,000 square feet of exhibition space and a 250-seat theater, Clearwater said, touting large, flexible spaces that "seem to go on and on."
The first exhibition at NSU under her leadership, "Spirit of Cobra" (Nov. 8, 2013-May 14, 2014), draws on the museum's collection to focus on the post-World War II European avant-garde movement. Among the artists included are Karel Appel, Pierre Alechinsky, Constant, Corneille and Asger Jorn. "In the U.S., we really don't understand the full extent of what Cobra was," she said. "There isn't any one US museum that is addressing European postwar avant-garde art movements, and yet those are totally essential for us to understand what is happening in contemporary European art."
As this year's Art Basel Miami Beach approaches (Dec. 5-8), Clearwater hopes to take advantage of annual traffic to the area that she herself helped to cultivate: "Most of the people I know who fly in for Art Basel Miami Beach fly in via Fort Lauderdale." The NSU Museum of Art is just 10 minutes from the Fort Lauderdale airport, she points out.
"The South Florida art world just got bigger," she said. "It was the excitement of what happened in Miami that got people in Fort Lauderdale to say, 'Wait a minute, we had a great museum in 1986, we want a piece of that!'"

The San Diego State Aztecs Men's Basketball team will play the New Mexico Lobos in Albuquerque on Saturday and hopefully extend their winning streak to 19 and O.
Whether you're a basketball fan or not, this is an amazing feat for the Aztecs.
The Associated Press and an ESPN/USA Today poll both have SDSU ranked number 6 in the country.
Earlier this week, they beat UNLV, a team some people call one of the best teams in the country.
The Lobos have always been a tough opponent at home and some have talked about this game being the one where the Aztecs break their win streak.
It's already a school record 18 and 0 and one of only four undefeated teams in the nation.
But Coach Steve Fisher and his team will be going for the longest streak in the country.
"I said in October, we'll see if we're still in the mix October 8th and the 9th and we're still in the mix, and that's our
goal to stay there," Coach Fisher said.
The current number one ranked team in the country, Duke University had the longest winning streak of 25 games, but they lost earlier this week.
Is a number one ranking possible? Perhaps. Three other undefeated teams play tough opponents this weekend. If the Aztecs keep winning, they have a real chance at that number one spot.

Long ball could carry Ravens to victory
By DAVID GINSBURG
AP Sports Writer
NEW ORLEANS — Fear the dreadlocks, San Francisco.
Torrey Smith just might be the difference in a Super Bowl that will hinge on the 49ers' ability to prevent the Baltimore Ravens from scoring with the long ball.
You might remember Smith from that playoff game in Denver on Jan. 12. Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey sure does. Bailey, a 12-time Pro Bowl star, watched the dreadlocks flapping from the back of Smith's helmet as he chased the speedy wide receiver into the end zone on touchdown catches of 59 and 32 yards.
Oh, and let's not forget that Baltimore forced overtime in that game on a 70-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to Jacoby Jones with 31 seconds left.
The Ravens have 17 pass completions of at least 40 yards this season, six of them involving Smith. Sometimes, Smith runs deep just to free up wideout Anquan Boldin or tight end Dennis Pitta or running back Ray Rice underneath, leaving Flacco a variety of viable targets.
"It all depends," said Smith, the speedy receiver from Maryland. "It's not like they say, 'Hey Torrey, just run straight down the field' all the time. Some of it is scheme-wise to open other guys up. Against certain coverages, I have certain responsibilities. We do attack vertically. That's a strength of ours, and I'm one of the guys that they definitely use to do that."
Combine all that with a San Francisco defense that gave up 396 yards passing to Atlanta's Matt Ryan in the NFC title game, and it could add up to a very long night for the 49ers.
"Joe Flacco, he's playing excellent football right now," former 49ers star receiver Jerry Rice said. "You've got Torrey Smith and also Anquan Boldin on the outside, and passes over 18 yards. They targeted Torrey Smith 109 times. So they're not afraid to throw the ball deep. The secondary of the San Francisco 49ers, they have had problems with the deep ball, so they can't let these guys run free."
The 49ers know this. Whether they can prevent Smith & Co. from breaking loose is another story. Rice is also a threat — he caught 61 passes for 478 yards during the regular season.
"I think No. 1, you've got one (receiver) that's got track speed that will take the top off your defense, so he's going to draw some attention," San Francisco cornerback Carlos Rogers said. "Anquan is a very physical guy. He doesn't go deep as much as Torrey, but he's got the ability to. He's just got that connection, strong arm guy, physical guy, so it's going to be a challenge with him, too.
"We're challenged at every position. The tight end in the red zone, he's got a connection, too. Ray Rice out of the backfield, people don't look at that, but when you break down film, he continues to make linebackers look silly and break yards. … So everybody on our side of the ball has their hands full with those guys."
On the other side of the ball, the Ravens' defense will be poised to hitch their emotions to middle linebacker Ray Lewis for the final stage of his last ride into retirement. The 37-year-old announced before Baltimore's first playoff game that he would quit when the Ravens ended their run, and since that time they've been played their best football of the year.
So has Lewis. He has a team-high 44 tackles during the playoffs after missing the previous 10 games with a torn right triceps.
"They're going to be up," San Francisco running back Frank Gore said. "Ray Lewis means a lot to that organization. He's been playing the game for a long time, he's probably the best at his position and guys love him."
Sure, the Ravens would love to win it for Lewis. But only one player on the roster owns a Super Bowl ring (Lewis), and the rest of the players are in it for themselves.
"There's no way in the world that you can imagine Torrey blocking better down the field because Ray is quitting," Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said. "There's no way in the world that (fullback) Vonta Leach is going to give that much more, knocking that linebacker in the hole. I believe if Ray was saying he was going to play another year, these guys would give us the same thing."
Ravens offensive linebacker Bobby Williams was asked why the Ravens are going to win.
"The spirit of the team is something special," he said. "Everybody works hard around the league. The 49ers work hard. But the spirit of this team is different."
After thumping Indianapolis at home and outlasting the top-seeded Broncos in double overtime, Baltimore disposed of host New England. Flacco, in succession, outplayed Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Now he goes up against second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is fleet of foot but short on experience.
Unless Kaepernick runs wild or connects repeatedly with Randy Moss, the self-proclaimed "greatest receiver ever to play this game," then big brother John Harbaugh will be the one smiling when shaking hands with little brother Jim, San Francisco's coach, as purple and black confetti falls from the roof of the Superdome.
PREDICTION: Ravens 24, 49ers 20.

SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) — Zach Duke made his first start of spring training, pitching two innings to help the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-3 on Friday night.
An All-Star last season, Duke is likely to start for the Pirates on opening day. He gave up one run and two hits in this one before Pittsburgh rallied for its first win of the spring.
Adam Jones hit a solo home run off Daniel McCutchen, trying to win a spot in the Pirates' rotation. It was the Orioles' ninth home run in three games.
Baltimore's Chris Tillman worked two perfect innings in his first spring start.
Pittsburgh trailed 3-2 going into the eighth but tied it on Tony Sanchez's first home run. Sanchez was the fourth overall pick in the 2009 amateur draft.

All quotes by Frank Gehry
(10 quotes found)
"Jewelry is an art form, ... In conceptualizing designs for Tiffany, I worked as I always do, sketching and creating models. Sculptors and painters have inspired me with their ability to make things with their own hands. This process led to the discovery of new ways to give feeling and spirit to form, and realize our shared vision of jewelry that provides a beautiful context for living now."
"[The design process is in limbo.] We have not had any contact at all, ... I can see that it's precarious."
"One particular image of an Edwardian woman captured my imagination, ... The movement of the dress as she promenaded along the seafront provided the inspiration for the historical references and sculptured forms in the design."
"It needs a mix of populations. It's got to be a mix of different age groups, economic groups and ethnic groups to really function."
"We want that center, we yearn for it, we need it. It shouldn't look like New York or Paris, it should look like us."
"I hope that people will wander through it. It's a spread-out downtown. It's an L.A. downtown, it's not a New York downtown."

Linux as Infotainment Innovation Driver
Post a comment
Automotive infotainment systems are very important to vehicle manufacturers today. However, the manufacturing of these systems is becoming increasingly complex, time-consuming, expensive and error-prone due to widely varying proprietary technology and very different vehicle development cycles in relation to consumer electronics. Infotainment systems in the future can only be more cost-effective if they are built on standardized platforms that are comprehensively used and reused by both the manufacturer and the supplier, eliminating differentiation caused by the use of different base technologies, differently designed user interfaces, and configuration of applications for each vehicle.
Standardization and repeated use significantly reduce manufacturing costs and development time for base technology as well as for specific innovation; quality also increases proportionately. The value-added chain as well as business models must be approved correspondingly and demand greater focus from all partners on the respective core competency.
Open Source Linux
The open source model such as Linux offers excellent support for fast innovation. Ready availability, standardized drivers and open interface standards create the basis of a development community that includes many people, companies and organizations. This community and its projects and solutions, together with commercial solution providers, create an ecosystem that continues to expand. This huge ecosystem provides the basis for application development. An example of such a community is Moblin, whose theme is "in-vehicle infotainment." Reuse and adjustment move into the foreground; new development takes place only where added value is produced. The developer can focus on innovation instead of having to reinvent the software infrastructure for each new project.
However, the use of Linux and open source for embedded systems has always given rise to challenges. Size, complexity, startup time and licensing problems with the GNU Public License have been obstructing factors. Now that the code and file size of the software in relationship to the size of the processed (and partially stored) data are no longer serious problems, these issues in regard to Linux-based in-car infotainment are being addressed along with other issues specific to the vehicle environment.
The requirement is for a robust and stable platform, with a sensible set of components as the basis for quick development of innovative applications. Open application programming interfaces must enable the integration of additional applications. Open standards help primarily with the investment protection of these applications. Also, a high-performance test environment must be available under open source.
In addition to novel applications, a standard platform would, moreover, pave the way for vehicle manufacturers and suppliers to offer new business models in preparation for new functions or software upgrades as part of routine maintenance. These could be installed via downloads. Error corrections, a new application or a new plug-in for existing applications (e.g., a codec for a new video format) can be installed in the vehicle in this way. The development of navigation devices illustrates the possibilities. In addition to the actual devices, there is an emerging market for cards and other applications. Similar developments are to be expected from in-car open source: numerous applications in the shortest possible time for a whole series of consumer devices.

I just got this game yesterday and it is AWESUM! I played Rock Band drums to death, so my timing is decently tuned, so I start off all songs on 難しい, but I haven't unlocked the "Oni" difficulty level yet.
I almost considered ordering a drum controller from play-asia, but its like 60 bucks. Maybe if they bring the game out here I can pick up a couple.
EDIT: forgot to mention, Q-Entertainment (キューインタータインメント) is working with Harmonix to develop a version of Rock Band for Japan. I say "AWESUM" to that as well. I can't get me enough of the J-music!

General Comments
I was very disappointed with Island importer
I was a groomsman at a wedding several weeks ago. We were trying to make a decision on if we had to order one more outfit at nearly the last minute for a really expensive price and we called them. They acted like they could definitely get the item there, but the day of the wedding it turned out they had miscommunicated with UPS and it was never shipped!! Now that it was REALLY the last minute, we had to go out and hunt around for like clothes. MISERABLE.
They sent us two confirmation emails, but both had wrong tracking #s!!
This basically ruined photo sessions for them.
I felt we received poor customer service as they seemed rude towards us when we first explained what had happened to them on Monday (two days after the wedding because there isn't a phone number listed to reach them on weekends!). After they appeared rude, and we responded back, we didn't receive any response at all or any refund for the initial clothes.
Honestly, just an overall disheartening experience. I would have just gone to the mall to pick up matching clothes, but they sent me two confirmation emails saying it shipped and told me over the phone that it was coming!

'Jaws' on Blu-ray: Please, Steven Spielberg, Do a Commentary
Steven Spielberg: great director, so-so Blu-ray/DVD releaser. The filmmaker is infamous for never recording audio commentary for any of his films; he is reported to believe that the inclusion of a director's commentary takes something away from the magic of the film. Although the sentiment behind is mentality is respectable, it might be time to get off his war high horse. Jaws is coming out on Blu-ray/DVD, and this is the perfect opportunity for a director's commentary from the Oscar-winner.
Jaws was the third feature that Spielberg directed, and the first in his long and continuing line of classics. In its simplicity and straightforward delivery, it is one of the most interesting and emotionally dense movies of its kind. In 1975, Spielberg was pioneering unprecedented filmmaking techniques and involving the world in a motion picture in a way that was both inspiring and accessible.
It also stands to reason that it must be one of the most personal experiences in his professional career: the film launched Spielberg to the status of cinematic visionary. Immediately after Jaws, Spielberg released an array of classics — Close Encounters, the first two Indiana Jones films, ET. In short, Jaws was Spielberg's big break and his first "important" movie.
Due to its artistic innovation, its cultural significance, and the impact it had on Spielberg's career, Jaws would be the perfect film for the great director to break his trend of commentary abstinence. If Spielberg is worried about diminishing the movie's power, he should chew on this: Nothing can diminish the power of Jaws.
Jaws will release on Blu-ray on August 14, marking Universal Studios' 100 year anniversary.

Indianapolis Colts Signing Brian Urlacher Is a Far-Fetched PossibilityMarch 22, 2013
Ever imagined Brian Urlacher in an Indianapolis Colts jersey?
Not likely to happen.
Urlacher, an eight-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker, parted ways with the Chicago Bears last Wednesday, March 20—an event that was labeled by the team as a "mutual decision," as reported by Vaughn McClure of the Chicago Tribune.
The report reiterates that Urlacher and his agents, Pat Dye Jr. and Bill Johnson, initially sought out a two-year, $11.5 million contract. The Bears countered with a one-year deal worth $2 million.
Said Urlacher of the Bears' offer:
It wasn't even an offer, it was an ultimatum. I feel like I'm a decent football player still. It was insulting, somewhat of a slap in the face.
Signing up with the Colts is a very remote possibility because of the emergence of Jerrell Freeman. Freeman, whom GM Ryan Grigson lured away from the Canadian Football League, made quite an impact in his first season with the Colts. He had 145 tackles (good for fifth in the NFL), two sacks, one forced fumble and one interception.
The lone interception he had in 2012 came when he picked off Urlacher's then-teammate, quarterback Jay Cutler, for a touchdown in the Colts' 41-21 loss to the Bears on September 9.
Looking to solidify the middle linebacker position for Indy is Pat Angerer, who saw his total tackle count drop from 148 in 2011 to 28 in 2012 due to a broken right foot he sustained in last season's preseason opener. Kavell Conner is also looking to pick up the slack after recording a career-low 54 total tackles last season.
The Colts are looking to shore up their defense in 2013 with younger acquisitions. New additions tp the defense include Ricky Jean-Francois at defensive tackle, LaRon Landry at strong safety, Lawrence Sidbury and Erik Walden at outside linebacker and Greg Toler at cornerback. None of them is older than 28.
The only exception so far is 32-year-old nose tackle Aubrayo Franklin, who signed with Indy on March 19 and figures to play a key role in Coach Chuck Pagano's 3-4 defensive scheme.
More specifically for the linebacker position, it seems pretty clear Grigson and Co. want younger legs in the fold next season. Thirty-three-year-old Dwight Freeney, who was once one of the fastest and most fearsome pass-rushers in the NFL, was not re-signed by Indianapolis on February 15. A seasoned defensive end, he played linebacker for the first time in his career in 2012.
Freeman, Angerer and Kavell Conner at inside linebacker are all 26. The Colts' outside linebackers are all under 30, with the exception of Robert Mathis, who is 32.
The Chicago Tribune report also mentions that Urlacher has worked too hard this offseason to consider retirement. He's out to prove he's still got something left in the tank after an MCL injury in the latter part of the 2011 season hampered his performance in 2012.
However, Urlacher turns 35 in May. His veteran presence is definitely invaluable, but this is not the direction the Colts are taking at the linebacker position.
Finally, there is the issue of the salary cap. As of March 15, Paul Kuharsky of ESPN reports the Colts have around $10.181 million remaining in salary-cap room. Three days later, Indy signed backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck to a two-year contract reportedly worth $8 million, as reported by the NFL's official website, further dwindling the remaining salary-cap space.
Throw in owner Jim Irsay's infatuation with a still unnamed wide receiver on Twitter, and there will be virtually little room for Urlacher on board.
Urlacher and his team reportedly countered the Bears' one-year offer with a one-year deal worth $3.5 million, as mentioned in the Chicago Tribune column—a difference of around $4 million from his 2012 salary. In spite of him willing to take a significant cut in pay, do not look for the Indianapolis Colts to tender an offer his way.
That being said, the legend of Brian Urlacher is sure to continue somewhere else.
