I read a press release that Universal had greenlit the new buddy cop movie, Ham and Moobs, but I thought it was the usual PR stunt. When I heard they cast Kirsten Dunst as the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, who would be helping take Josh Willingham from loner without a job in Minnesota to new heights in Kansas City, where she would be sneaking him onto a plane to go — surprise! — parachuting and slipping him into a cage of alligators to get over his fear of being eaten alive, I was hooked! That Dunst girl will annoy the pants off you! So, The Other White Meat moves to KC, and I hear the Royals made the trade simply by pressing this button. This doesn't hurt Wilingham's value, but it doesn't necessarily help it either. He'll be the majority shareholder of the Royals DH slot and could be good for a little pop here and there, but not worth owning in most mixed leagues unless he's hot. This does open the way for Kennys Vargas to remain the Twins DH and I'm a big fan of his. Both of his. All the Kennys you got. Every one of them. Okay then. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Psyche! Before I get into today's post, I have some news. The Guru vanished. No idea where he went. One moment he was on the Razzball tour, next moment he was talking to a group of bears dressed as swimsuit models luring him into their car. You also catch more Gurus with honey, apparently. I await the A. A. Milne book with Guru in the Pooh gang. Any the hoo! The Football RCL signups are still underway, but if you joined one of Guru's leagues, you need to sign up for a new football league. Repeat, there will be no Guru leagues; he got in a Hyundai filled with masquerading bears. Anyway II, the roundup:
Yadier Molina – Had his cast removed and is about a month away. He was excited to have his cast removed, especially after he had Marc Rzepczynski sign it first. Bad move!
Michael Wacha – Throwing from 120 feet. Hopefully, he doesn't get a nosebleed.
Shelby Miller – 5 IP, 5 ER. Really hope you didn't fall for the ol' banana in the tailpipe.
Matt Holliday – 4-for-4, 1 run, 1 RBI, hitting .271 on the year; he also has 12 homers. The time lapse of young Holliday to old Holliday looks a lot like Nick Markakis.
Jon Jay – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 3rd homer and 2nd in the last three games, and hitting near-.350 in the last week. Federalisztomania!
Giancarlo Stanton – 2-for-3, 3 RBIs and two homers (30, 31). Only five more! Okay, now I want ten more. I'm greedy, y'all!
Christian Yelich – 3-for-4, 2 runs, 1 RBI and his 14th steal. Yelich played with a heavy heart yesterday after learning the guy from Aladdin passed. When he's old enough, he hopes to check out Good Morning Vietnam, but if it's just Good Morning America with Vietnamese subtitles, then no thank you. Shazbot forever.
Casey McGehee – 2-for-4 and his third steal. Casey, you better watch your speed.
Rafael Montero – Will start today for the Mets in place of Jacob deGrom, who is hitting the DL. So far in the majors, Rafael has been hot garbage on a hot surface orbiting around the world's largest toilet, so I'd take a wait and see approach to see if he surprises. Rafael and his buddy turtles surprised me at the box office though, so you never know.
Noah Syndergaard – A Mets beat writer — Hey, that's not a turnip, that's red! Get your root vegetables straight! — says the Mets probably won't promote Syndergaard this year. I'm guessing that means we won't see him until June of next year.
Jeurys Familia – 1 1/3 IP, 1 ER and the save. Mejia has a hernia — YOUCH! — but that doesn't mean anything. Doode's got brass balls like on an 80s exec's desk that bounce back and forth and clank and clank and clank. Sounds to me like Mejia will try to pitch through his hernia, fail and hit the DL. I'd grab Familia if I needed saves. He has a 1.97 ERA, even if yesterday he didn't look pitch black. Eh, maybe I shouldn't have used a thesaurus for 'lights out.'
Jon Niese – 7 IP, 2 ER, 8 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA down to 3.46. He always pitches well in day games. Hard to hit with the ball going in and out of his nose shadow.
Darin Ruf – 1-for-2, 2 RBIs and his 2nd homer. Who let the dongs out? Ruf, Ruf, Ruf, Ruf, Ruf!
Sonny Gray – 7 IP, 2 ER, 9 baserunners, 2 Ks, 2.86 ERA. Another Quality Start, much to chagrin of the Stream-o-Nator. I'm starting to take it personal how much SON hates my boy, Sonny.
Yordano Ventura – 6 IP, 2 ER, 6 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.45, which is SHE on an upside down calculator, which wasn't voiced by Scarlett Johansson, who was married to Ryan Reynolds, who dated Alanis Morissette, who has a song Hand in my Pocket, which is what I sing when I'm looking at Scarlett Johansson. Coincidence? Puh-lease.
Drew Hutchison – 5 2/3 IP, 6 ER. Why, what a nice shady looking man to buy me a drink. I'll just have one sip then it's off… *five hours later* Hey, how come I'm hanging with a bunch of ducks in a Chinese restaurant's window? Is that my blood draining out of me or the ducks? The ducks or me?! Ah, roofied!
Jose Bautista – 1-for-2 and his 23rd homer. Chill your, DLzebub, he was removed from the game due to the large lead by the Mariners.
Robinson Cano – 2-for-3, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 10th homer. Hitting .333 on the year, but it's kinda crazy how off his power has been in Safeco. Every stadium that ends in co, move your fences in 15 feet! You too, Metco.
Mike Zunino – 2-for-3, 2 runs, 2 RBIs, hitting near-.300 in the last week, and has three homers in the last ten games. Catcher questions begin in 3, 2, 1…
Andrew McCutchen – After almost a week of speculation, McCutchen was finally placed on the 15-day DL with a fractured rib. I think the doctors just liked the idea of debating the McRib.
Gerrit Cole – Threw well in his last start, but he only tossed 73 pitches, which means he's one more good rehab start away or he'll start for the Pirates in his next start and only go five innings. Sucks if you owned him this year. Excuse me, if you had to endure him. Next year I have a feeling there's going to be nice value found with him. We shall see! Or not. Your choice.
Ike Davis – 1-for-3, 2 runs and his 8th homer and Travis Snider went 3-for-5, 3 runs, 4 RBIs and 2 homers (8, 9). These don't seem related, but once Ike gets off the Snide, good things happen for both.
Jordy Mercer – 2-for-4 and hitting over .400 in the last week. Jordache (proper name) is a hot schmotato!
Starling Marte – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 22nd steal as he hit in the six hole, which is porn for the left earlobe. Not sure why Marte's down at 6th. Russell Martin, or Russell The Muscle as Alyssa from Los Angeles calls him, hit a homer yesterday (1-for-4, 2 RBIs), but he really needs to hit third with The Dread Pirate out? Rhetorical! Of course, he doesn't.
Justin Verlander – 1 IP, 4 ER and left the start with a sore shoulder. Finally, a reason for him to go to the Disgraceful List. He's never missed a start before in his career, physically. Mentally, he looked like he checked out sometime in April. Perhaps the allure of Kate Upton and her stories growing up with brothers, Justin and B.J., proved too distracting.
Rajai Davis – 3-for-5, 1 run, 2 RBIs and his 27th steal. The King of SAGNOF made a decree that anyone caught stealing will have their grapes cut off. Not those grapes, he means the grapes Jarrod Dyson hand-feeds the SAGNOF court.
Alex Rios – Still has soreness in his ankle, and is visiting the team physician, Dr. Keith Meister. The Keith Meister! Rios says he's going to play today, but I wouldn't be surprised if Rios hits the DL at some point soon. The only thing that seems to be stopping that from happening is the Rangers are trying to trade him for 30 cents on the dollar. Keep your three dimes, other teams!
Drew Smyly – 7 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 9 Ks. Arguably his best start of the year. Well, arguably if you happen to be in the Drew Smyly Fan Club chapter in Lake George, New York. They're ornery up there! I'm not a huge fan of The Emoticon, but the Stream-o-Nator likes his next start and I concur. I'm a concurring fool!
Cole Figueroa – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 1 RBI and played 2nd base because Maddon spun his Buddy Holly glasses and the earpieces were pointing at Figueroa.
Ben Zobrist – 2-for-4, 1 run, 1 RBI, hitting near-.400 in the last week, raising his season average to .287 and raising the likelihood of him saying "Heavens to Betsy Zobrist!" to 12%.
Yovani Gallardo – 7 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 6 Ks, which comes after a 4 IP, 4 ER start. Call him Dr. YoGa, because he's always stretching patience.
Carlos Gomez – 1-for-4 and two steals (26, 27). Today's topic for the Inglewood High School Debate & Speech Club, pros and cons of using CarGo to only refer to Carlos Gomez. No, I don't mean that type of refer.
Mark Reynolds – 1-for-3 and his 20th homer, hitting .205. I love the bravery that Mini Donkey has shown trying to fill-in for Prince Fielder. If only his bravery didn't involve him swinging wildly at things in the dirt.
Jake Arrieta – 7 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 6 baserunners, 4 Ks. On my RCL team, he's thrown 62 1/3 IP and has a 2.17 ERA and a 0.79 WHIP with 66 Ks. Yes, I benched him in Coors. Started him every other time. I have released the inseam!
Manny Machado – Left yesterday's game after injuring his knee on a swing. His knee buckled and it…Well, it didn't look good. I'd suggest you don't look at the picture I'm about to link to. In fact, the stronger I suggest you don't look at it, the more you'll want to. So, don't ever, ever, ever look at it. It's terrible. Faces of Death I thru IV has nothing on this. Okay, here it is. It took everything in my power to not Rick Roll you there. He'll undergo tests today, but for right now the O's are saying a sprained knee. He'll definitely miss at least two weeks. My guess is he'll miss a month.
Chris Davis – 2-for-3, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 21st homer as he replaced Machado. He's done a lot of damage to his fantasy value this year, but it wouldn't be the worst thing if he plays another two weeks at 3rd base.
Jonathan Schoop – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 10th homer. Nothing to see here, 2015 sleepers must be protected at all costs.
Nelson Cruz – 2-for-2, 3 RBIs and his 31st homer. Six weeks ago, I said to sell him when he had 20 homers and hitting .315. In the two and half months since, 11 homers and hitting .218 in 238 at-bats. Yup.
Michael Pineda – Confirmed to start on Wednesday. What's the over/under here? 5 2/3 IP, 2 ER? 5 1/3 IP, 1 ER? 5 IP, 3 ER, leafs, grass and other debris sticking to his pine-tar-covered hand?
Carlos Beltran – 0-for-3, 1 run and stole home. The Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph tried waving garlic to stop him, but forget the only way to stop a Zombino is a sore oblique or loud music.
Danny Santana – 3-for-5, 1 run, hitting .322. Holy Danny Santanas, Batman! Batman has Alcides and was too slow grabbing Santana. Aw, Batman.
Tommy Milone – 6 IP, 2 ER, 11 baserunners, 5 Ks. Maybe another two months of starts like this and I'll consider him next March. Maybe. Talk about the worst cliffhanger. Oh, no, what's Grey going to think of Milone next March?! I have to know. Shut up, Random Italicized Voice.
Jordan Schafer – 0-for-3, 1 run and his 5th steal and that's his fifth steal in the last six games he's played! Love when a guy is trying to show his club his worth. SAGNOF, you baller!
Chris Carter – 1-for-3 and his 26th homer, and his 5th homer in the last nine games. He could hit 35 homers this year. Wouldn't surprise me. Truth is out there. Somewhere. The truth texted me five minutes ago and said it was almost here.
Jake Marisnick – 4-for-4. He's a long-time favorite of mine, without that much reason, but I'm watching him like a cyclops with a monocle so you don't have to. You're welcome.
Jose Altuve – 2-for-4, and his 5th homer. Let's here for the boy-man! Oh, let's give the boy-man a hand (so he can reach the cereal)!
Kevin Correia – 6 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners, 5 Ks vs. Julio Teheran (7 1/3 IP, 5 ER, 11 baserunners, 6 Ks). The Correia/Teheran matchup proved that you never know who has WMDs. I liked Teheran better as a summer resort than he's been in the last two starts. If it's any consolation (it's not), relievers let in two runs tagged onto his line, so he went from a wonky Quality Start to just wonky.
Carl Crawford – 3-for-4, 1 run, 2 RBIs, hitting near-.350 in the last week with no power and one steal. From the Crawford Mustang to the Crawford MustresthislegsinEpsonsalt.
Corey Dickerson – 1-for-4, 3 RBIs and his 15th homer. Yes, if Walt Weiss wasn't injured in the medulla oblongta, Dickerson would be a 20/15 guy with a .310+ average. Shoot, he may get there even after platooning for a month of the season.
Everth Cabrera – Will have an MRI today. If only at your draft, you skipped EverCab and went with KlUber.
Yangervis Solarte – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 3rd homer on the Padres, and ninth homer this year. Solarte has a nice little niche carved out for himself. Guy on waivers that looks good that you won't ever pick up.
Yonder Alonso – 2-for-3, 2 runs and his 7th homer. Where's the majority of 1st basemen's fantasy value? Over Yonder.
Jesse Hahn – 5 IP, 3 ER, 8 baserunners, 5 Ks. Ah, the slow fade into hoping he's shutdown. Terrific.
Jeff Francoeur – Padres designated him for assignment. Should be a rule that when the Padres DFA you, you should have to get out of baseball. Frenchy could open a little bistro, As Good As It Baguettes. He can serve freedom fries, French Onion Soup served by Dave Campbell and Frenchy's Toast that you can try to not love, but resistance is futile.

The Heel Report: 11.22.12: Top 10 Heels
This is the Heel Report. A weekly chart spanning from Tuesday's NXT to the Raw Super Show, ranking the heels in professional wrestling based on their actions, wins and losses.
Each Week there are ten places, with points out of ten awarded based on these positions. These points are then added to a rolling chart that will continue each week to show who is wrestling's overall top heel.
Having a busy week so this will be a streamlined edition of the report, enjoy all the pretty pictures and I will see you next week for more extended rants and meaningless waffle.
This is a place where the heels of wrestling can be praised for all the hard work they do trying to get us all to hate them, so without further ado let's get on with the report…
Weekly Top Ten
1st Place: Dolph Ziggler
No one was able to talk more smack this week than Dolph Ziggler, and he managed to back it up as he scored a clean pin on the Viper to become the Sole Survivor for his team on Sunday, and then caused a bunch of trouble for Cena on Raw, ending his night by smashing Super-Cena through a toilet stall and then beating the hell out of him. He also got deeply personal when AJ tried to call him out by bursting into the locker room, cutting up her personality and then sitting back down with his iPhone, or DS or whatever he grabbed before she started slapping him wildly. Ziggler now actually looks primed to be a main focus on Raw, it would be ironic after all these months of moaning that Ziggler losing doesn't exactly make him World Champion material, if he then turns around and makes himself appear too big on Raw so that taking the World title will actually look like a step down for the Show Off, or else his taking the title will actually elevate it once again.
2nd Place: C.M. Punk
For over a year now C.M. Punk has been the WWE champion, and while yes that time has given us little else apart from a few good matches and a new main eventer the alternative was probably worse; i.e. Cena as champion, less quality matches and the same guy who has been champion for nearly a decade. The good thing about Punk's reign is there is still room for development as well since his pairing with Paul Heyman is drawing some legitimate heat, especially after last week, and with the NXT angle now who knows how things will develop leading up to the showdown with the Rock at the Royal Rumble.
3rd Place: Big Show
The Big Show deviated from his former strategy of being just a monster and now is trying the heel angle, pulling a referee in the way of Sheamus' Brogue Kick and then decking him with a WMD. While the extra ref coming in, counting the three, and then having another ref then DQ Big Show to have Sheamus win is a bit convoluted it kind of makes sense in this situation. Sheamus needs a reason to be able to legitimately challenge Show one more time and Show continued to look strong, in terms of being a heel, as he clearly can take the Celtic Warrior down for three when he connects with a knockout shot. Of course being chair-shotted to oblivion didn't make him look like all that much of a monster, but perhaps we could claim that the fact that Ziggler didn't come out due to a fear that Show was still too strong is a testament to the power of the champion. Bottom line is that at this point Show is still champion, and who knows if Sheamus really has what it takes to get the job done.
4th Place: Damien Sandow
Sandow is perhaps lucky that his partner Cody Rhodes will have to sit out for a little bit as he really was looking to be in shape to thrive on his own before the Rhodes Scholars took off and now he looks to be set to do the same again if his match with Sheamus on Raw is anything to go by. I was a fan of the Rhodes Scholars getting together but I don't think either guy should be with the other for too long, at least if they aren't going to win the tag titles anyway since while they gel quite well they are still better as singles competitors than they will ever be as a tag team. At least teaming with Rhodes has given Sandow to do for the past few months so that he hasn't been stuck in lower mid-card hell, beating up jobbers but losing to anyone who is worth a damn and repeating the same character promo over and over again, even the most talented performer could suffer when placed in that type of position.
5th Place: Antonio Cesaro
Antonio Cesaro does two things; insults America and wins matches, and he does those things very well. While Cesaro has yet to move up the card all that much, and arguably a place on a Survivor Series team would have helped him with that, he certainly hasn't slowed in his momentum since winning the US title. He beat Sin Cara, R-Truth and even Brodus Clay this week and doesn't show any signs of stopping any time soon, I just wonder why it seems like he will be going against Truth once again despite beating the guy clean in their last title match, clearly the division is too shallow when it comes to faces right now.
6th Place: Wade Barrett
While Cesaro struggles in the search for fitting opponents for his title, Kofi Kingston can't move for mid-card heels who all deserve a shot at his belt, and Wade Barrett is no exception. Of course Kingston might not have to deal with this problem much longer as Barrett looks to take away his title in the near future. Barrett pinned Kofi twice in the past week and his Barrage doesn't look to be slowing down any time soon.
7th Place: Alberto Del Rio
Del Rio got a lot of air time this week and at points had us see him making Miz, Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton tapping out to his Cross Arm-Breaker. This all sounds pretty good but he couldn't get too far this week as he also ended up losing his matches in the end. Now that his feud with Orton appears to be over, I'd assume that is what the 2 out of 3 falls match was all about, I have no idea what Del Rio will go onto do, and frankly I don't really care.
8th Place: Robert Roode
Bobby Roode proves that the best way to get onto the chart in a WWE-heavy week is to imply that you want to have sex with your bitter rival's underage daughter, oh and stealing his spot as the number one contender also helps, even if it doesn't make too much sense.
9th Place: The Paul Heyman Guys
In lieu of an official name for these three I am going with this name. Honestly when Punk showed himself wearing that shirt on Raw and then the three of them showed up again at the end of the night all in black I was sure they were going to reveal the same T-shirts to show where there allegiance lay. If they are associated with Punk then Rollins, Ambrose and the other one couldn't have asked for a better way to debut onto the main roster, I just hope their presence and momentum is kept up over the coming weeks.
10th Place: Eve
Once again Eve retained her title, once again she earns herself a place on the chart, once again I don't care…
(Week 68):
1. Daniel Bryan (274)
2. Alberto Del Rio (272)
3. Cody Rhodes (245)
4. Robert Roode (245)
5. Dolph Ziggler (199)
6. The Miz (188)
7. Mark Henry (181)
8. The Big Show (178)
9. Bully Ray (170)
10. C.M. Punk (146)
10. Chris Jericho (125)
C.M. Punk at Survivor Series – While some people might be saying that Austin Aries is copying Punk, it seems that he wanted to give a little nod to Aries at Survivor Series by employing the Last Chancery in his triple threat match for the WWE title. Seeing this move locked into Jeff Hardy and John Cena in the same month fills my heart with joy, I could only be more ecstatic if either the Deluded Egomaniac or the Untouchable Toolbox would have actually tapped out to the move.
That's all for this week, no real major changes to the chart, although we do have three new additions, all grouped together for now, but who knows how long that will last. I have to say I am interested to see what develops in both TNA and WWE right now with a number of invading forces, hopefully neither company will drop the ball and WWE will have three new stars, and TNA will have a long running angle that actually makes sense and gives them some much needed credibility in the storytelling and entertainment department. Only time will tell, for now though this is James Wright signing off.

European Escapade » Review by Explorer1248668
My tour was incredible! I met so many people from all over the world. We all got along amazingly well which made the tour even more great. I loved the amount of time we spent in just about every place (except for Munich was too short) and I got to see most of what I wanted to see and figure out where I want to go back to someday to spend longer. The driver and tour manager were phenomenal also. They knew what they were doing and had suggestions for us everywhere we went to. Overall, it was probably one of the best months of my life!

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul will be keynote speakers at an April event by the Iowa Federation of College Republicans.
Pawlenty will speak April 1. It will be Pawlenty's first visit to Iowa since he announced he had formed an exploratory committee to examine a run for the Republican presidential nomination.
Paul, a tea party favorite who was elected to his first term in November, will speak the next day. Paul already had agreed to come to the state for an Iowa Republican Party event, dubbed the "Night of the Rising Stars."
Other speakers at the event include Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and U.S. Rep. Tom Latham.

Hearts and Minds
Heard in my kitchen last night:
"Winning hearts and minds? Two to the chest and one to the head. Ha! I win, mother f*cker."
Everyone's entitled to my opinion
"Winning hearts and minds? Two to the chest and one to the head. Ha! I win, mother f*cker."
We had a saying in the Navy that the fundamental law of negotiation is that you do it with a knee in his chest and a knife at his throat....almost hearts and minds.
My social circle includes some pretty diverse viewpoints.
Even to me after all this time here, it's a bit disconcerting to listen to a perfectly nice, very feminine and proper middle aged lady, who often voices her concerns about her grown children and the every day stuff of life, tell the story of the time she had to kill a man with her 9mm pistol, face to face as he grappled with her.
Sometimes, the direct method is the best way of getting your point across.

Ganzheitliche Wirkungen von Dummyvariablen auf die Prognosegenauigkeit ökonometrischer Modelle – analysiert am Beispiel des RWI-Konjunkturmodells KM59
[Holistic effects of dummy variables on the forecast accuracy of econometric models – an analysis of the RWI-business cycle model as an example]
Contrary to their significance for the adjustment of econometric models, dummy variables are seldom addressed in the literature. They serve as a tool for improving the fit of the model equations to the data and with it the prognostic performance of a model, at least lastly. Referring to the RWI-business cycle model (version 59) as an example, it is shown in this article that all the dummy variables taken as a whole are in fact reducing the error measures of the most of the endogenous variables; on average, the mean absolute percentage error of a dynamic solution of the example model over the same sample period its parameters were calculated is reduced to about 45 percent (yearly) or, respectively, to about 61 percent (quarterly). As it is well known, the price one has to pay for this improvement is a narrowing of the theoretical basis of a model. In the case of a simulation of political measures with short-term effects (for instance, additional investments to the infrastructure made by the government) the differences between a model with and the same model without dummies are rarely of practical significance – but this depends on the variable analyzed and on the point in time the impulse was set in the previous year. One of the consequences of this study consists in the question, whether the cost caused by the scrutiny for shifts and breaks in macroeconomic time series and caused by the implementation of dummy variables which take account of those breaks is counterbalanced by the slightly better fit and performance of the models. Investing more time and deliberation in the theoretical backing of the equations that made up an econometric model seems to be a reasonable alternative.

Has the world gone mobile crazy? Apple's app store just cracked a quarter million available mobile applications, Google's Android is giving them a run for their money, and Microsoft is waiting in the wings with Windows 7 Mobile. Apps are central to mobile and, according to Allyson Kapin, Blogger-In-Chief for Care2's Frogloop and Partner at Rad Campaign, mobile web use is exploding. Does your organization have a mobile and app strategy?
Ensuring that your nonprofit website is mobile friendly and loads well from different mobile browsers should be your first priority when it comes to mobile. Beyond that, we've seen the potential for text-based mobile giving campaigns, which Frogloop has reported in the past year. While few nonprofits have developed mobile apps, the potential is huge if done strategically and of course executed well. We'll likely see some great mission driven apps released in the coming years as more nonprofits decide to experiment and invest in mobile app development to further their missions.
Thinking about Developing Your Own Custom App? Check out these 7 Mission Centered Nonprofit Apps
- Monterey Bay Aquarium - Seafood Watch - Helps diners make sustainable restaurant choices. Guides actions and informs about overfishing and health issues. (iPhone)
- American Museum of Natural History - Dinosaurs - Information on fossils in the museum, different species of dinosaur, excavation stories, and more. (iPhone)
- American Hiking Society - "HIKE" - Helps hikers find park maps, trail-heads, and campgrounds. The app lets you record "adventures" to track progress along a map with GPS. You can also take photos as you hike, share your experience with friends on social networks, review your journey in order along your mapped route after you're done hiking, and see stats about the hikes you complete. (iPhone)
- Humane Society of the United States - Humane TV - View HSUS produced videos, stories, and other content and share with friends on social networks from within the app (iPhone)
- Sunlight Labs - Congress - Information on legislation coming up for a vote, contact information for legislators, and links to lawmakers' social media profiles (Android)
- People Against Violent Environment - Child Abuse and Sexual Assualt Awareness - April is an awareness month for these issues. The apps show different facts about child abuse or sexual assault each day of the month that users enter the app. (iPhone)
- 350Mobile - The first release of the app was focused on coordinating 350's Day of Action. Users can find actions near them, learn about climate science, and the policy solutions that 350 is advocating. (iPhone)
Inexpensive App Development Options
Cost is one of the biggest factors preventing organizations from adopting mobile apps as a tool to accomplish their programmatic work. Complex applications can be expensive to develop, which is fine if your budget is in the tens of millions, but for smaller organizations, the cost of developing a custom app can be prohibitive.
If your organization is in this boat, consider putting together a simpler mobile app using template-based tools like AppMakr and AppFlight. Template-based apps can be developed by staff quickly with an investment in the $200-$400 range. Admittedly, the resulting applications are relatively bare-bones in comparison to what you can build with a five to ten thousand dollar investment, but they do provide a mobile experience to your supporters that is becoming increasingly important as mobile use skyrockets.
Has your nonprofit developed a mobile app? Tell us about it in the comments section.

Good Morning Makeup Vanity
Materials: Malm dressing table
We converted the Ikea Malm dressing table into a fancied up Makeup Vanity by adding a mirror, hair appliance caddy and drawer handle.
For the first step, we installed a board across the back of the vanity to add extra support for the mirror.
Next, we installed 2 L brackets on each side to support the mirror vertically.
We screwed the mirror to the L brackets and now it all works as one unit. The vanity sits in front of a window, so we had to be able to pull the entire unit out as one piece.
We added a drawer pull to stop the drawer wobble.
Lastly, we added a plug mold and hair appliance caddy to the side. We contemplated hiding the plug mold under the makeup vanity on the inside leg, but because the side of the vanity is hidden from view, so are the cords.
12 Responses to Good Morning Makeup Vanity
I love this so much, you have given me some make-up room goals! Thanks so much for sharing!
Do you know where you got that chair from or what the fabric is called that is on it? Love that pattern!
What are the dimensions for the closet room?
Can you please let me know where you bought the mirror?
Where did you get the mirror? I love it!
Now this is AMAZING!!! Best one yet! Definitely using your ideas
Where did you get the mirror at? I love it and can't wait to do this project!
Where did you get the hair appliance caddy?
I was just pondering this exact issue as my new apartment is plaster boards. This is perfect and I can put up a mirror! Just wondering where did you get that chair from?
Beautiful! Can I ask where you purchased the sunburst clock? I love that too!

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Nets general manager Bill King believes All-Star point guard Deron Williams will join the team in its new home in Brooklyn after exploring free agency this summer.Comment on this story
Speaking at a year-end wrapup five days after the Nets missed the playoffs for the fifth straight year, King sounded confident that he would be able to re-sign Williams after the 27-year-old opts out of the final year of his contract.
Heading into the offseason, King has four players under contract for next season — rookie guard MarShon Brooks, rookie forward Jordan Williams, backup center Johan Petro and shooting guard Anthony Morrow.
Starting center Brook Lopez is a restricted free agent. Power forward Kris Humphries is unrestricted and forward Gerald Wallace has a player option to decide whether to stay.

Liquefied petroleum gas tech now on the Sprinter
Something special will be rolling out the Mercedes-Benz production lines later this month. The Sprinter 316 LGT (liquefied gas technology) is the company's latest addition to its range of alternative drive systems, soon to be incorporated on passenger vans and cars wearing the BlueEFFICIENCY badging.
This new Sprinter variant has been designed to create exceptionally
low emission to comply with Euro 5 standards. Its four banger petrol
engine creates very low noise, and even with a displacement of 1.8
liters, runs very well with liquefied petroleum gas. LPG creates
virtually zero particulates, hence the extremely low levels of emission,
especially when compared against diesel engines which generally have
high amounts of particulates in their exhaust. In comparison with
gasoline engines, these are capable of producing 20 percent less carbon
dioxide emissions, as well as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and sulphur
The Sprinter 316 LGT is quiet and eco-friendly, making it the best
vehicle for delivery work in areas where traffic has been reduced. And
because of its strict compliance with emission standards, it will be
able to penetrate even urban areas with tight access restrictions. With
less fuel costs, it can bring up operating costs savings to about 30

Today at a garage sale there was a 15-91 sewing machine in cabinet along with a small matching side table. I am interested in information about these tables. I know that Singer sold sewing machine cabinet sets with matching stools/chairs, and this must be an extra piece that was available.
The side table was about the size of a small night stand with 3 drawers. One of the drawers had a wooden insert tray to hold bobbins.
I am looking for a link to pictures in an old catalog or any other information as to the value to this type of piece.

What does it mean to be justified?
The Bible teaches us that we "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23). Not only are we unfit for the presence of God on account of our sins, for which we know we have forgiveness through believing on Jesus, but we also find that we are totally unable to make ourselves right with God by our own efforts. We therefore need to be justified (made right) in order to become suitable for His presence.
How can we be justified?
Many try to justify themselves, to make excuses, or to try to make up for past mistakes, and hope that God will accept their efforts. But God has made it very clear in the Bible, which tells us "There is none righteous, no, not one." (Romans 3:10).
The Bible teaches that justification is by faith alone. It is seen in Abraham, of whom it is said, he "believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness." (Romans 4:3). We cannot be made right on the basis of our works or efforts - the prophet Isaiah says that "all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags." (Isaiah 64:6).
Justified by faith
Abraham believed not just that God existed, but had faith that God was able to carry out promises made to him in spite of the circumstances in which Abraham was found (Genesis 15:6).
It was on the basis of that faith that God reckoned (or counted) Abraham righteous. We are reckoned righteous in the same way, as we believe not just that God exists, but that He is able to forgive us our sins because Jesus met every righteous requirement of God when He died in our place on Calvary's cross.
Why do we need to be justified?
We are reckoned as righteous (justified) by God in order that God may have us to be suitable for His presence, now and eternally. God is righteous and hates sin. He loves us so much that He provided His own Son as sacrifice for sin, so that He may count as righteous all who believe Him and put their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus. How could any one of us be in the presence of a holy God with the matter of our sins not dealt with?
The believer in Jesus is "...justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood..." (Romans 3:24-25). This reassures us that God is fully satisfied with all that Jesus has done, and we stand as freely justified on the basis of that completed work.

WOONSOCKET, R.I., Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Pharmacy chain CVS announced Wednesday it will stop selling cigarettes and other tobacco products at its more than 7,600 U.S. locations by Oct. 1.
"Ending the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products at CVS/pharmacy is the right thing for us to do for our customers and our company to help people on their path to better health," Larry J. Merlo, president and chief executive officer of parent company CVS Caremark, said in a release. "Put simply, the sale of tobacco products is inconsistent with our purpose."
CVS, based in Woonsocket, R.I., said it is the first national pharmacy chain to eliminate the sale of tobacco products.
As the delivery of healthcare evolves with an emphasis on better outcomes, reducing chronic disease and controlling costs, CVS expects to grow its role in providing care through its pharmacists and nurse practitioners, Merlo said.
"The significant action we're taking today by removing tobacco products from our retail shelves further distinguishes us in how we are serving our patients, clients and healthcare providers and better positions us for continued growth in the evolving healthcare marketplace."
CVS' decision to end tobacco products sales is consistent with positions of the American Medical Association, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, American Lung Association and American Pharmacists Association, which have publicly opposed tobacco sales in retail outlets with pharmacies.
"As a leader of the healthcare community focused on improving health outcomes, we are pledging to help millions of Americans quit smoking," Merlo said. "In addition to removing cigarettes and tobacco products for sale, we will undertake a robust national smoking cessation program."
President Obama applauded the decision.
"As one of the largest retailers and pharmacies in America, CVS Caremark sets a powerful example, and today's decision will help advance my administration's efforts to reduce tobacco-related deaths, cancer and heart disease, as well as bring down healthcare costs -- ultimately saving lives and protecting untold numbers of families from pain and heartbreak for years to come," Obama said in a statement issued by the White House.

Amoeba Music Berkeley Weekly Hip-Hop Top Five: 12:11:09
1) Souls of Mischief Montezuma's Revenge (Clear Label Records)
2) FELT FELT 3: A Tribute to Rosie Perez (Rhymesayers)
3) Wu-Tang Meet the Indie Culture, Vol. 2: Enter The Dubstep... (Ihiphop Distribution)
4) Black Eyed Peas The E.N.D. (Interscope)
5) Aesop Fables Living The Dream While Awake (Weed Tracker Music)
Shout out to Inti at Amoeba Music Berkeley for this week's Hip-Hop Top Five chart which finds a local hip-hop crew on top, Oakland's Souls of Mischief and their first new studio album in a decade, the Prince Paul produced Montezuma's Revenge on Clear Label Records. The new album also includes production input from Domino (responsible for their amazing debut 93 Til Infinity). The four emcees, A-Plus, Phesto, Opio and Tajai, are in top notch form here. And, not surprisingly, these diehard Hieroglyphics members, who dropped their debut sixteen long years ago when they were still teenagers, have matured quite a bit, all the while keeping that Hiero/Souls flavor that made them so endearing in the first place. It sounds like veteran yet ever-envelope pushing producer Prince Paul got the best of out of the crew, as witnessed on standout songs such as "Home Game," "Postal," "Proper Aim," and "Dead Man Walking." Also, Prince Paul can be credited with creating a cohesive album (complete with skits, of course) that deserves listening to in its entirety -- the way albums used to be.

Earnings Yield as an Investment Value Tool
Earnings yield is the annual earnings of a stock, individual company, or market index compared to its price. In other words it is earnings divided by price. It is expressed as a percentage of the investment value and is the reciprocal of the price/earnings (P/E) ratio.

Examples of the Earnings to Price Yield Calculation (Jan 2015)
Earnings to Price Yield of a Stock
Chevron (CVX) earned $10.86 and the price is $108.
Earnings Yield = $10.86 / $108 = 10%
Earnings to Price Yield of a Company
Chevron (CVX) earned $20.7 billion and has a Market Capitalization of $205 billion.
Earnings Yield = $11 billion / 106 billion = 10%
Earnings to Price Yield of an Index
The S&P 500 has earnings of $88 with the index at $1486.
Earnings Yield = $103 / 2045 = 5%
Greenblatt's Magic Formula Value Approach to Earnings Yield
Magic Formula Earnings Yield is a popular valuation tool for value investors. In "The Little Book that Beats the Market" by Joel Greenblatt; he provides a little different calculation that many analysts use as part of his "Magic Formula".
Magic Formula Earnings Yield = Operating Earnings / Enterprise value
I like using enterprise value because it is a more accurate metric of the total investment value of a company. This is because it makes allowances for debt and cash.
Operating earnings, also known as earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), are the earnings produced by the ongoing operations of the entity. This removes the distortions caused by extraordinary write downs, the effects of financing and taxes.
Intel has Operating Earnings of 17 billion and an enterprise value of 101 billion.
Magic Formula Earnings Yield = 17 billion / 101 billion = 17%
Importance of the Earnings to Price Yield
There is currently a great deal of emphasis put on dividends and dividend yield. But where do these dividends come from? Earnings of course. Earnings are the true long term driver of dividends and stock price.
You may have a stock that has a high dividend yield but pays out all of its earnings. This company may not have the capital to grow earnings or even sustain the high dividend. Earnings are the most important metric in analyzing individual investments.
All of the above methods of calculating earnings to price yield provide a means to compare stocks, companies, indexes, etc. But this is also a valuable metric for comparing to other assets. For instance, you can compare the S&P500 earnings to price yield to the 10 year Treasury Bond yield, or to the current inflation rate.
Use the earnings to price yield as a value tool because it's simple and provides critical information that can be compared to any other investment asset.

The last thing you want is to lose out on customers because they could not find anything when they searched your company's name on Google or other search engines. This is what customers do in the modern economy. If they hear about a company or are told about your firm through a friend, they will look up the business name and expect to find an appealing site that provides them with the necessary information needed to make a purchase decision.
This is also true of business clients. If a potential client hears through a business associate that your company is worth a look, they will go online and attempt to search for your website or social media accounts. If they do not find the site, or the site is old and poorly updated, they will leave with a bad impression.
The only way you can create a positive impression is by using professional web design NYC services to build a site that is informative and appealing to the eye. Potential clients and customers will not spend ages on your site, which means you need to provide the most relevant information up front and in an easy-to-read manner. The site must work great on laptops, desktops and smartphones.
The best way to end up with an optimized site is by asking for help from a web design company. These professionals will take the time to design your site's layout, theme and different pages. You can provide your input to ensure that the final result is exactly what you want.
Not only will this give you a great end product, but it saves a lot of time. You do not want to spend hours of your own time trying to design a site. It will leave you frustrated and with an end product you do not appreciate.

International Rugby
Robshaw confirmed as England skipper
ESPN Staff
October 30, 2012
England will be led by Quins flanker Chris Robshaw once again next month © Getty Images
Harlequins' Chris Robshaw has been confirmed as England's captain for the forthcoming end of year internationals.
The 26-year-old, who took on the England captaincy ahead of this year's Six Nations, has been re-appointed for the clashes with Fiji, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand next month. The Quins skipper has led his country in all but one of the eight Tests since Stuart Lancaster took charge and the head coach had no qualms about re-appointing him.
"Chris has been outstanding on and off the field and we are delighted that he will captain the team for what will be an immense challenge in the QBE internationals," said Lancaster. "We have a strong leadership group in this squad and I know that Chris will be well supported by them in the weeks ahead.
"It was important to wait until after last weekend's Aviva Premiership matches to check on everyone's form and fitness and not to interrupt the players' preparations. I have had the chance now to have a 1:1 catch-up with each player and we are really pleased to announce Chris as captain."
Robshaw said: "It's a real honour to be asked again. I enjoyed being captain in the Six Nations and in South Africa and this is a great group of players who really want to be successful.
"We are lucky to have some good leaders in the squad who I know I can work well with and count on their support. We have a huge opportunity to put a marker down over the next few weeks and just from training this morning you can see how keen the boys are to play."

The Bush family spokesman, Jim McGrath, said the 88-year-old is "alert and, as always, in good spirits".
Mr McGrath added that Mr Bush's conversations with doctors and nurses at Methodist Hospital now include singing.
Mr Bush, the oldest living former US president, has been in intensive care since Sunday.
He was admitted to hospital on November 23 for treatment for what Mr McGrath described as a "stubborn" cough.
Mr Bush spent about a week there earlier in November with the same condition.
Mr McGrath has said doctors remain "cautiously optimistic that the current course of treatment will be effective".
On Thursday, Mr Bush's long-time chief of staff Jean Becker issued a statement saying the former president would advise people to "put the harps back in the closet".
Ms Becker pointed out Mr Bush is expected to be in hospital for a while after a "terrible case of bronchitis which then triggered a series of complications".
She said updates about Mr Bush's condition have been limited "out of respect for President Bush and the Bush family who, like most of us, prefer to deal with health issues in privacy".
While the former president's treatment was "unequalled anywhere," she said prayers also were needed and welcomed.
It had been hoped Mr Bush would be well enough to spend Christmas at home. But while his cough improved, he developed a persistent fever and his condition was downgraded to "guarded".
The 41st US president had served two terms as vice president when he was elected in 1988 to succeed Ronald Reagan.
Four years later, after a term highlighted by the success of the 1991 Gulf War in Kuwait, he lost to Democrat Bill Clinton amid voters' concerns about the economy.
Mr Bush skydived on at least three of his birthdays since leaving the White House, most recently when he turned 85.
He now has a form of Parkinson's disease that forced him in recent years to use a motorised scooter or wheelchair for mobility.

A Key fact about your A Level Maths is the fact that YOU need to be in absolute control of your subject from the very onset. You want to be able to make an excellent grade right from the start, so how do you approach your studies ? Many students , at the start of the academic year, are still in , what i refer to as 'the GCSE mode'. Especially you would find students at both ends of the attainment spectrum- those who attained an A/A* Grade and those obtaining B/C- still reminiscing over the past year's success or disappointment, and so fail to actually have a "fresh start". Due to this, many have suffered the consequences: having to re-sit some, if not all, of their AS papers.
How do you give yourself a head start?
1. Be well Equipped. Ensure that you acquaint yourself with your school's subject area of speciality. This will ensure that you enrol on courses that you are most likely to get the strongest support- do not settle for any less! Additionally, ensure you have access to textbooks and their corresponding revision guides or websites, that would easily serve as self-help as well as revision tools.
2. Give yourself a 'fresh start'. Embrace the new year with a positive mind. Whichever topics that you thought were your strenghths or weaknesses might present you with fresh challenges. So being positive will mean that you focus intently during lessons and most importantly give your new teacher your apt attention. You will be pleasantly surprised what you are able to gain out of your lessons, as a result. Try not to dwell on past mistakes. Because we cannot undo them! What you are in control of, is what happens from now and beyond.
Be alert to fresh opportunities , even to offer yourself in explaining a concept to your classmate. Make sure you grab those opportunities, because they give you the 'golden chance' to make a positive impression .
3. Seek Support . Do not leave any challenging areas in your learning to chance. If you do not seek support, support will not seek you! So ensuring that you make ample provisions for getting extra help with ALL your work will go a long way to ensure that you emerge with the BEST grade you could possibly attain. First make good use of your teacher's expertise at school. Even if that requires you to wait after school for it. You have the added option to seek out an experienced tutor , just right for your needs.
Remember help is at hand at any stage , so do not leave it till the exams term. The sooner you make that choice of "taking ownership of your Learning", the sooner you will see your grades improve and the better your appreciation will be for this "Beautiful Subject": Mathematics.
Making A Success of Your Learning at Advanced Levels
Continuing to make progress in your Learning , depends greatly on your 'frame of mind' and 'attitude to learning'. Always using any previous successes, or otherwise, as stepping stones to achieving higher goals, is key.

Rothschild plans new attack on Bumi's directors
Nat Rothschild will once again vote to oust all but one of Bumi's directors at the coalminer's annual meeting after the company said that its shares would not be relisted next week as had been expected.
Mr Rothschild, who floated Bumi in London in a disastrous tie-up with Indonesia's Bakrie family, also said that chief executive Nick Von Schirnding, who is trying to unwind part of the deal, should give up any bonus and quit.
Bumi had said its shares should be relisted next week in time for its annual meeting, but said this week that there would be a further delay.
Mr Von Schirnding asked to have the stock suspended this year while the company looked into the disappearance of $201 million. Having put…
