UNLV is the latest Western university to end its branch campus in Singapore -- at least in its current form.
Over objections of Yale's president, professors approve measure demanding more attention to issues of freedom as university helps create new campus in Singapore.
Faculty raise questions about oversight of Yale's new outpost in Singapore. Some wonder why they never got to vote on the project.
In Singapore, students are attracted to an approach beyond professional training.
President of Nanyang Technological University urges Western academics not to take a "normative approach" on universities in Singapore.
In weighing a proposed outpost in Singapore, Yale considers the parameters of inquiry and speech in a more authoritarian society.
Despite some high-profile failures, Australian and American universities seek students and outposts in the prosperous city-state.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Not to long ago I saw the top solo Q player build vladimir. It was a confusing build, I tried it for myself and moving the items around and adding some of my own. I finally realized, that season 3 is calling vladimir back into the meta game. This guide is for Solo Top vlad. You will be an off tank and still be able to dps and carry your team if needed.
Pros / Cons
+ Great Harassment
+ Pretty Tanky end game
+ Crazy Heals with Spamable skills
+ Max 40% cooldowns with build
+ Sanguine Pool makes you untargetable and can dodge many skills (even homing like Fizz ult while marked can be dodged)
+ Sanguine Pool one of the best skills in the game
+ Great DPS all game long.
+ Hemoplague is great for your team, making everyone damage go up 12% (also summoner spells and items)
- Ignite can always be annoying
- Long cooldowns early game.
- In till vamp items, you can be pushed out of lane pretty easy
- Late game is amazing, early game can be rough.
- No cc skills other then Sanguine Pool, which is your main escape tool
Summoner Spells
Flash is a great spell for getting into range for a kill, or getting away. You can pool into a flash or other way around to get a really good distance away from people. Also flashing into someone to pool and slow them down.
Ignite Great spell for any carry. If you use your ult then ignite, it does some pretty crazy damage. I feel this is a must get skill on vlad.
Teleport You are solo top so this is a great skills. Try not to use it just to get back into lane unless you have to. But this skill is better used teleporting to wards bot for ganks.
Exhaust Like I said before, vlad has no cc skills. So early game this is a great skill to help you 1v1 the other solo top, but I honestly don't think its worth giving up ignite or flash for this skill on vlad.
Runes and Rune Options
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration
Greater Seal of Scaling Health
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power
Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration - Top lane normally have magic resist runes but this is not only a pick to counter that, but my build doesn't give a huge amount of magic pen because your role is more a off tank dps.
Greater Seal of Scaling Health - The more health vlad has, the more AP he gets. Really helps vlad out in many ways. Pretty cheap runes too!
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power - If you look at my build, I don't have much AP early on. Also over all I don't get to much AP. This will help you have a good bit of AP late game without having to build a lot. But remember your role is off tank DPS.
Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed - After you get Furor and have crystal, you will be so hard to catch and the other team will find you very annoying. With 40% cooldown you will be fast and perma slowing anyone who is trying to catch you.
Fury - You don't need the 4% cooldown because this build maxes it. So 2% AS will help you with last hitting. You want to save your Q for harassing and only use it to last hit if you need to heal.
Butcher - Also to help you with last hitting. Vlad last hitting has a bit of a learning curve so this will help you out.
Blast - Along with your runes this will help you end game with that extra AP.
Havoc - You need as much damage as you can grab. The more damage you do, the more you heal and this build is built around healing and cooldowns.
Arcane Knowledge - As I said before. This build doesn't build a lot of magic pen. So you want the most you can get from masteries and 8% for free is huge.
Mental Force - It's good to have a bit of early game AP. But remember late game is where you shine.
Spellsword - This is manly for hitting towers and minons rather then auto attacking champtions. Just over all makes you have more dps.
Archmage - This will give you a good 30 ap at the end of the build. Thats a good bit from a mastery, well worth it.
Executioner - God does it feel good to kill someone with your Q. This mastery will really bring down that hammer.
Perseverance - (I know its garens icon.) Will help you early game if you get a bit long, if you have stacks on E too it will make your over all health regen higher.
Durability - Vlad uses health as his mana and many other things. Grab as much as you can!
Hardiness - Top lanes tend to be AD so this will help you stay in lane.
Veteran's Scars - 30 HP doesn't sound like a lot. But at lvl 1 it really his, vlad lives off blood so give him more!
Skills Priority
Crimson Pact - Vlad is not a vampire. He is a Murderer that learned the art of controlling blood, then drained his master of all of his blood enfusing him with magical powers. This crisom pact gives him more AP the more HP he has and vise versa.
Transfusion - This skill is what makes vlad. At max cooldown, its cast time is 2.6 seconds. With enchanted boots, that is almost a perma speed buff. This skills heals you like crazy and does great dps. Learn to love this skill. Max first. "That which runs through you, will run you through."
Sanguine Pool - Perfect, just a perfect skills. When used vlad gets a speed boost that decays. He also does damage based off his MAX hp, also using this skill deals 20% of your current health. This skills should never be used to farm, it should only be used to dodge high damage skills, cc, and escape. It should only be used to deal damage in some team fights, but not often. Max Last.
Tides of Blood - This skills stacks up to 4 times. Each stack increases the cost, damage done, and healing of all types. Mid to late game try to keep this stack up before team fights start. Max second.
Hemoplague - Game changing ult. After you use, it makes foes. During that 5 seconds, all damage done to targets are increased by 12% FROM ALL SOURCES. Meaning your whole team will do more damage. This ult is huge for your team. After 5 seconds, mark explodes dealing massive damage. Max as soon as you can.
The lane
In the lane you want to last hit with auto attacks and harass with Q. Early game is when your at your weakest. So if you need to play it safe do so. Try to stay in lane till you have 2000 gold then buy your Spirit of the Spectral Wraith and a ward. After you get back in lane you should be able to start dealing damage and winning your lane. By this point its ok to last hit minions with Q because of your cooldowns. They will try to trade with you, but with your massive heal off minions it shouldn't matter. Try not to E around minions to much or you will push the lane to the tower. Try to control the wave and keep it right out side your tower (but not in tower range) Mid to late game you should be a farming freak. A wave will only take 2 E to clear. So run around and out CV everyone.
More detail is coming along with a video.
Items Break down
This build isn't for Mid vlad. This is a top lane vlad. Meaning your off tanking. Your job is to take some damage and still deal DPS. You still very much have the power to carry your teams most game with this build and still be tanky. This build relies on heals and cooldowns so items are meant to keep your cooldowns and vamp at max.
- So why this item? Oh my friend, this item makes this build. It's cheap, gives you 20% spell vamp, gives you 10% cooldown. Also helps you with dragon and picking up CS easy from the jungle. This item is better then will of the ancients on vlad by far. It also frees up more items for you because it gives you 10% cooldowns so you don't need a lot more cooldown items. I love this item and it is the reason this vlad is back.
+ Combo - With E. This is crazy. You perma slow everyone with a cooldown of 3 seconds or less, also dealing damage based off there HP. Because of the slow from Crystal, the passive on Liandry is doubles by all of your spells. Just a flat out deadly combo and its the reason you can be tanky with dps. Also with Furor boots, you will be slowing everyone while making yourself faster, and it feels good.
- Give up armor for this item. Gives a lot more AP and an awesome active for vlad. Deals 15% of there max health, but more importantly, all magic damage done to target by 20% for 4 seconds. This stacked with your ult is a total of 32%, You can deal some crazy damage to someone with both of these effects on!
- You can pull some cool stuff off with this. Your cooldowns are really fast so sometimes you just need that 2.5 secs to get another pool off to get away. Always an item that will save you in a bind.
- Another item to replace something with and keep that 40% cooldown. It gives ok armor and AP. I would pick the other items over this for sure, but its something to think about.

Fleming's Steakhouse - Naples Ratings and Reviews
We had a friendly greeting and were seated promptly. I asked for the quietest area and were put in a booth with that in mind. Greatly appreciated. The wine menu was extensive. Heavy emphasis on steak, as expected. Service was very good, but not overbearing. My wife and I both commented on the quality, seasoning of our steaks. Truly some of the best we have ever had! We also had carrot cake-super also. We'll be back for sure.
It was our 37th wedding anniversary and the attention to this milestone was very nice! My steak dinner was very good. However, the evening was ruined after my husband felt sick upon arriving home. He ordered the crab legs special for $83 and it was NOT fresh! The next day, the crab came up and it took him until the next evening to recover. This is appalling. We will never again order seafood at Fleming's!
Outstanding service, waiter was very attentive but not hovering. Prime rib was perfect, Fleming's potatoes a little underdone, brusselsprouts very good. Lava cake was delicious as was the New York Cheesecake. Beautiful touches for our anniversary. Red rose on table, glass of very nice champagne and lovely box of truffles. The picture was a nice surprise. Would definitely recommend. Big thanks to our server Henri.
For the price, I expected more. I ordered a prime filet to be cooked rare. It was rare but II found an unusual situation, the meat was dry. Also, I did not like the heavy peppercress on the steak. On a very positive note, the onion soup was the best I've had.
We shared the steak and lobster special. It came with a salad (go for the Flemings salad- it's awesome!) and dessert. By adding a baked potato to what came with the special, it was more than enough for us to share. Unless one of you is a particularly big eater, it should suffice. What a wonderful dinner!
We dine here 5 to 7 times a year and we have not been dissatisfied yet. The Brick chicken has been replaced with a much tastier chicken breast option. Service is consistently prompt and detailed oriented, even during busy nights. The restaurant shows not ill effects from HC Irma.
My husband and I were celebrating post-hurricane Irma. We were greeted warmly by name. Our dining rewards number was already communicated to our server, so she did not need to ask us. We were promptly seated, and our drink order was taken immediately. We selected a lovely pinot noir with help from our server. Both of us had the prix fixe 3-course surf and turf. Our steaks were perfectly prepared, and the lobster tail was tender. Absolutely delicious. Our server seemed to know exactly when to appear. She was attentive without hovering. The salads and desserts were fabulous, too. This 3-course special was a great value. We will be back soon!
Excellent service. The food was outrageous. Couldn't ask for more from the staff and crew. Our server Mark was more than service, he made everything perfect and inviting. Never gave five stars across the board. They definitely earned it.
Very professional staff from the manager to the valet parking attendant.
Excellent wine list 'by the glass'. With a non-drinker companion full bottles are not a good option. Good labels by the glass are quite a treat. Flemings does it better than most.
Celebrated anniversary (which followed a birthday celebration a few weeks before). Both experiences were quite good.
Have been a customer for many years.
We made a same day Reservation while visiting Naples. When we arrived there were two young ladies at the front. One of them gave me a dirty look but the other one was very friendly and greeted me with a smile. The one that gave me the dirty look sat us down. I noticed two empty booth and asked her if we could be seated there but she told me that they were already reserved. Nobody sat there the ENTIRE night while we had our meal. Our server Teresa was wonderful. My meal was delicious. I had a cesar salad to start. Then I had the filet with the lobster bearnaise sauce and caviar. Absolutely delicious for the side we shared the mac and cheese without the chipotle. For dessert I had the carrot cake. Again delicious I even took another slice to go. My husband didn't have an appetizer but enjoyed the bread and butter. For diner he had the strip but he wasn't so impressed with the quality. We also ordered the cream spinach but didn't like it to much so we pretty much left the whole thing. For dessert he had the créeme brûlée but lacked some flavor. The drinks were good. I had the farmers daughter and he had a henesy sidecar. One side note that left us a little sour was that the ac vent above my plate started to drip on my plate and thank god i had already finished eating. Looks like it was due to condensation. Our waiter Teresa was very apologetic and even asked us to move. I didn't made a big deal and just moved to the other side of the table. The part that bothered us that the manager who was looking at everything going on not ONCE came over to apologized. My husband and I were commenting about it and I believe Teresa heard us and when she came back she told us that he bought a round of drinks for the mishap. We were thankful but as a manager I believe he should have come up to us to tell us himself but I can see he could careless and I'm sure he only credit us the drinks because Teresa told him that we were talking about that. She was great but he lacked cust atten

Condor Aerial in the News
Hey guys, Just wanted to throw in our 2 cents worth here. We may have a new advocate on board with Condor Aerial that we believe could be instrumental in helping our common FAA cause. His background includes:
Retired from the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division as Deputy to the Assistant Director for Investigations.
He created the South Carolina Computer Crime Center and currently is the Manager of Corporate Security for the SCANA Corporation, a Fortune 500 Utility Company.
He is a graduate of the 216th Session of the FBI National Academy,
The United States Secret Service Dignitary Protection School
Naval Post Graduate School Executive Leadership Program for Homeland Security
And currently an advisor to the Justice Department.
If he comes on board I think he will become a credible voice for the deployment of our aircraft in this industry and our company www.CondorAerial.com would love to be a part of this community to share our thoughts and information for our collective mutual benefit.
Here is our last news broadcast.
great, the best of luck to you. looks like you have a nice business going
Not sure why you PM me this, let the world see it. I know more than you think I do, after all you think its that hard to get someones criminal background? You dont think Im trying to understand why a Grown Man would go on public tv and lie about his work and his involvement with a piece of technology. Not taking into consideration that others have this very same identical tool and have already been using it? In the same freaking state. You really think they're arent a handful of thriving businesses right around Huntersville, Cornelius and Mooresville who saw something that looked just like that and wonder why is this old guy taking credit?
People who have nothing to hide and are honest should have no reason to cower if everything they do (or say) is true. Unlike your false news debut.... If Mr Johnson wants to admit to your Copyright Infringement and have that corrected or have that ridiculous news post taken down or redone without you. Then have fun with that one. Ill do you a favor and call him myself. Wouldnt want you to get lost in between that and try re-invinting the telephone or something. Ill just go out on a limb here and say I'm willing to bet you had to sell your idea(which wasnt yours to begin with) and which was probably full of falsified info too, just to keep yourself apart of it (because of that past you got), from what I hear tho someones pretty good at being dishonest and misleading thom aren't they? So that answered a lot of peoples questions on how it is we could see someone on our local news take credit for something that they had nothing to do with but spend some bail bondsmans card on.
Forward all you want. The news are about to have a corrected story themselves. Why on earth would a grown man go and claim someone else's ideas, footage, and images for themselves. Knowing you didnt build it, half the images and video on your site are from other skilled people, and the text. It comes from yea, the real guy who built it. @ Airfoil Helis. Stop telling lies bro, try telling the truth. Why tell a news company you made and designed - Johns quad , when 15 miles from the station I have one and 3 other people in the same state have one too. 1 year before that I had his T copter that was purchased from someone in this very same website forum. Your the kind of person who brings down the industry of true professionals. People who do work hard only to have one person drag it down. That news was a complete joke, nice pipeline coverage, over the top of a firetruck.... Better yet, Mark- "whys the video cutting in and out Fred? " Cause we just have to bring the quad down and reset the video...!" Reset video, what video you resetting and on what? the special - ed back pack you have on?... I used to be a police officer too Fred. You don't scare me. Nice Logo by the way looks just like the trucking companies... do they know you copied that too?
quote "CONDOR" So, This is your idea of you go your way and I'll go mine. I guess you haven't looked at our executive staff page yet. I don't think Mr. Johnson is going to be very appreciative of the post you are making against his company. You might want to rethink your strategy before you start making comments about something you have no clue about. But of course, That's what children do these days. I will send Mr. Johnson a link to your post and you can discuss this with him.

I looked up that airfoil helis and they've been around for a little while now and have a news video on showing how they built and designed those quads. I'm no expert, but that's kinda messed up to say you built it and all you did was order it, if the airfoil dude jon really is a member here I hope he finds this thread. That's not cool dude.
Why is this thread in the uav section. Should be in the quad section. A mod might want to move this.

Hope I'm not being redundant (I scrolled back to see if someone had posted), but Tre next to the Witte is my new favorite restaurant in Texas. Been open a few weeks and I've been three times. House-cured salumi, home-made pastas. The service is sketchy, but they'll get their act together.
Had linguine with clams, the gnocchi and gorgonzola, the coppa, the mortadella and the marinated olives (one trip was for cocktails, which included a sweet gazpacho on ice).
I compare these rustic meals with the best I've had (Al di la, etc.)
Beautiful space, too. Markup's not too bad on the wines. Once they get their waitstaff's heads on straight, this place will be flying pretty close to the sun (and they were gracious screwups anyway, so whatever).

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Saturday's annual scrimmage, known as the Blue-White Game, will offer fans a nice reprieve as they wait more than 20 weeks for the college season to kick off.
Saturday will be the first time most of last season's freshmen will play in front of a crowd, the first time fans can size up the quarterback race and the first time the media can see the progress this team has made over the spring.
The Blue-White weekend has taken on a carnival-type atmosphere these past few years, and there's plenty to see. But on the field, NittanyNation takes a closer look on what fans should keep an especially close eye on.
Let's get the obvious out of the way. Steven Bench threw just eight passes last season, and the media has seen little of Tyler Ferguson. Both quarterbacks have been lauded for their ability to scramble -- Stephon Morris said he probably wouldn't even label Bench as a pocket passer -- but both are basically a mystery. Can Bench guide this offense? Will Ferguson outshine him? Saturday's scrimmage is far from the be-all, end-all, but it is a start to answering some of those questions.
Bill O'Brien said in the past no quarterback separated himself yet. Maybe, just maybe, someone will gain an edge Saturday.
Defensive coordinator John Butler acknowledged last season that PSU couldn't play be as aggressive in the secondary because of the depth. But that is improved this season. Jordan Smith and Anthony Smith enrolled early, while wideouts Malik Golden and Trevor Williams switched to defensive back.
PSU began practicing the nickel this spring, and fans can expect finally to see that package this season. There's no telling who might start alongside Adrian Amos come August -- Jordan Lucas is currently practicing with the first team -- and fans should keep an eye on the young corners here.
DT Austin Johnson and LB Nyeem Wartman are just redshirt freshmen, but it already looks as if they'll crack the starting lineup this season. Both very well could wind up as the rare four-year PSU starter, and expectations are high for these two.
Johnson already is up to 302 pounds, and O'Brien has praised his ability since he was asked about his top freshmen last season. And the hard-hitting Wartman, whom PSU fans already are familiar with, blocked a punt in his PSU debut before an injury in Week 2 that sidelined him for the season (and allowed him to pick up a medical redshirt). With the departures of Mike Mauti and Gerald Hodges, Wartman will have to play well right off the bat for PSU to remain strong here. One recruit said he was especially impressed watching No. 5, because he was all over the field during one practice. Let's see what they can do in a scrimmage.
(Also, Akeel Lynch and Eugene Lewis might not be starters ... but is there anyone who doesn't plan to keep a close eye on them?)
Practice observers and teammates have pointed constantly to Allen Robinson when asked who has impressed so far this spring. He broke the single-season school record for receptions last season, and he has gained needed weight while maintaining his speed. Robinson was the best in the Big Ten last year, and now he's even better. That's hard to picture on the field.
Mike Hull, Deion Barnes, Zach Zwinak, Amos, etc. all have earned a lot of praise this spring. Zwinak has improved his strength, Barnes is shoring up his run-stopping, Hull is embracing a starting role ... and Amos? Well, he's probably PSU's most versatile player. Returner, safety, cornerback -- he can do everything. And it'll be interesting to see just how much he does Saturday.
It's pretty incredible just how much this position has evolved in about 15 months. Kyle Carter won't play in the Blue-White Game, but fans still will be able to look at Matt Lehman, Jesse James and Brent Wilkerson.
MLB Glenn Carson mentioned James as the player who has impressed him the most overall. He broke out during Carter's absence late in the year, and he boasts good speed for a 6-foot-7 target. James has "red-zone target" written all over him, and it'll be interesting to see how this young corps does in the scrimmage. It'll be an even bigger bonus if Adam Breneman is able to play.

Hackers race to expose Cisco Internet flaw
Computer hackers worked through the weekend to expose a flaw that could allow an attacker to take control of the Cisco Systems Inc. routers that direct traffic across much of the Internet.
Angered and inspired by Cisco's attempts to suppress news of the flaw earlier in the week, several computer security experts at the Defcon computer-security conference worked past midnight Saturday to discover and map out the vulnerability.
"The reason we're doing this is because someone said you can't," said one hacker, who like the others spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity.
Cisco's routers direct traffic across at least 60 percent of the Internet and the security hole has dominated a pair of conferences that draw thousands of security researchers, U.S. government employees and teenage troublemakers to Las Vegas each summer.
The hackers said they had no intention of hijacking e-commerce payments, reading private e-mail, or launching any of the other malicious attacks that could be possible by exploiting the flaw.
Rather, they said they wanted to illustrate the need for Cisco customers to update their software to defend against such possibilities. Many Cisco customers have postponed the difficult process because it could require them to unplug entirely from the Internet.

Vance Allen Wilson (born March 17, 1973) is a former professional baseball player and current bullpen coach for the Kansas City Royals. He played all or part of eight seasons in Major League Baseball, primarily as a catcher. Listed at 5'11" tall and 215 pounds, he batted and threw right-handed during his career.
Early career[edit]
Wilson was a high school standout at Red Mountain High School in Arizona, and continued his hometown success at Mesa Community College, where he was tagged as a Junior College All-American in 1994.
The New York Mets selected Wilson in the 44th round of the 1993 Major League Baseball Draft, and the catcher signed with the team the following summer after finishing his college career.
After five arduous and injury riddled seasons in the Mets minor-league system, Wilson made his major-league debut on April 24, 1999, as a defensive replacement against the Chicago Cubs. Wilson's immediate tenure in New York was short-lived however, and he began the 2000 and 2001 seasons with Triple-A Norfolk.
New York Mets[edit]
Wilson finally began to play regularly with the Mets in late 2001, assuming the role of back-up catcher behind perennial National League All-Star Mike Piazza. Used as a pinch hitter and occasional spot-starter, Wilson's greatest value to the Mets was as a defensive replacement who could prevent runners from stealing bases (something Piazza struggled with). From 2001-04, Wilson ranked amongst the top three National League catchers for lowest opposing stolen base percentage.
The reserve catcher appeared in a career-high 96 games for the Mets in 2003, notching career-highs of 8 home runs and 39 RBI. However, Wilson was hampered by injuries towards the end of the 2004 season, and the Mets dealt him to the Detroit Tigers on January 5, 2005, for second baseman Anderson Hernández.
Detroit Tigers[edit]
In Detroit, Wilson once again found himself behind another perennial All-Star, this time backing up Iván Rodríguez. During the latter half of 2005, Wilson had a short starting stint, calling 22 games for the Tigers with Rodríguez on the disabled list and ineligible list.
He started 2006 on the bench as the Tigers began the race for the American League crown. During the summer, he signed a two-year extension with the Tigers.
In 2007, he tore a muscle in his right forearm during the last week of spring training and was expected to be on the disabled list for the first half of the season. He reinjured his arm in early June during a rehab assignment.[1] It required Tommy John surgery, ending his season. Minor leaguer Mike Rabelo replaced Wilson as the back-up catcher.
Wilson was expected to be ready for the 2008 season. However, Wilson suffered yet another injury during his rehabilitation during the winter months. He suffered from Plantar fasciitis, which is an inflammation in the ligament that connects the heel bone to the toes.[2] After Rodriguez was traded to the New York Yankees, utility player Brandon Inge took over as the team's starting catcher in Wilson's absence. Rabelo was traded to the Florida Marlins, leaving the backup catching duties to Dane Sardinha.
Wilson filed for free agency on October 31, 2008.[3]
Kansas City Royals[edit]
On January 7, 2009, Wilson signed a minor-league contract with the Kansas City Royals.[4]
On April 1, 2010, Wilson opted out of his minor-league deal with the Royals and chose to retire.[5]
Managerial career[edit]
On October 29, 2010, Wilson was named the 13th manager of the Kane County Cougars, the Kansas City Royals' Class A Midwest League affiliate.[6] In 2011, Wilson's rookie season as manager, Wilson piloted the Cougars to a 37-33 overall record and third-place finish in the division, which qualified the Cougars for participation in Midwest League's playoffs.[7]
Before the 2012 season, Wilson was named manager of the Wilmington Blue Rocks of the Carolina League. On November 1, 2013 the Royals promoted Wilson to manager of the Northwest Arkansas Naturals (Texas).
Wilson was named the Royals bullpen coach in November 2017.[8]

In the spirit of full disclosure, I should probably begin saying that this recipe and post were born out of my snobbery and stubbornness. I'm loathe to make food that comes from boxes for the most part. Sure, I use canned tomatoes, beans and pumpkin, but I always have a preference for my own. Sometimes, I don't have the foresight to make chili by soaking my own beans – the mood just sort of strikes me, and out come the canned beans. But certain things are just as easy to make from scratch as their boxed cousins – like cupcakes. It takes mere minutes to make cake batter and the frosting, and before you know it, you have lovely, decadent cupcakes waiting for you and your friends. And who doesn't love homemade frosting?
Since my friend Sharon was craving red-velvet cupcakes, I decided to give this Magnolia Bakery recipe a go, but, opted for a cream cheese frosting, rather than the suggested vanilla icing. I'm used to red-velvet cake to have a cream cheese frosting, and also, find Magnolia Bakery frosting impossibly sweet and a little grainy. Oh yes, and there's too much of it and I'm very particular about my cupcake-to-frosting proportion.
People, let me tell you – this took up probably slightly more time than a cake-from-a-box project would have and it was worth each and every additional minute. The whole thing was a cinch – and a delicious cinch at that.
While Paul and Sharon liked the cupcakes, they preferred the cake part to be slightly more moist, though my Sharon indicated that this is how Magnolia cake part tastes on location. So if you like their cake consistency, then stick with this batter recipe. I liked the cake part as it was, it was little lighter than usual cupcakes, slightly spongier. The recipe called for 6 tablespoons of food coloring, which I think is a typo. We used one bottle – could probably have used a little more to give the cake a deeper shade of red, but 6 tablespoons implies six of those little bottles – which seems a bit much, no?
I would have to say this frosting was quite a winner – an agreement we all shared. It must have been the half a stick of butter blended in that just made the texture light and creamy. I think it's important to beat the frosting for the time the recipe indicates – it makes a huge difference, make sure you don't under-beat it. The result will make you swear off pre-made frosting forever – and you'll be glad you did.
Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Batter adapted from Magnolia Bakery
Frosting adapted from Bon Appetit, June 2006
Batter Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
6 tablespoons red food coloring
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Frosting Ingredients:
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 stick of butter (4 tbsp)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Cake Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and lightly flour three 9- by 2-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with waxed paper.
To make the cake: In a small bowl, sift the cake flour and set aside. In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a small bowl, whisk together the red food coloring, cocoa, and vanilla. Add to the batter and beat well.
In a measuring cup, stir the salt into the buttermilk. Add to the batter in three parts alternating with the flour. With each addition, beat until the ingredients are incorporated, but do not overbeat. In a small bowl, stir together the cider vinegar and baking soda. Add to the batter and mix well. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the batter in the bowl, making sure the ingredients are well blended and the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter among the prepared pans. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the layers cool in the pans for 1 hour. Remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
While the batter bakes, prepare the frosting.
Frosting Preparation:
Beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla in medium bowl until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar. Spread frosting on cupcakes, leaving 1/2-inch plain border.
When the cake has cooled, spread the frosting between the layers, then ice the top and sides of the cake with the cream cheese frosting.
Epicurious Test-Kitchen Tip: This recipe also makes 2 dozen cupcakes. Use 2 muffin pans, each with 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups, and line each cup with a paper liner. (There's no need to grease the cups.) Arrange the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and bake the cupcakes, switching positions of the pans halfway through baking, until a tester comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool the cupcakes in the pan 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely on a rack before icing. To ice, mound about 1/4 cup of frosting on top of each cupcake and use an icing spatula to make a swirl on top. If desired, decorate with colored sprinkles.

The Nationals will wear their normal red hats for this afternoon's 11:05 a.m. start, with a patriotic twist: The curly W will be camouflage.
Trust me when I say that the special July 4 hats look pretty sweet.
Happy Fourth of July to everyone out there. Hope your BBQs are fun, the fireworks shine brightly tonight and we get some good baseball this morning, even if it's far too early for me to be at the stadium.
I'll be hitting up the press box coffee machine quite a few times over the course of the next few hours.
Davey Johnson's posted his lineup for this morning's game (I still can't believe I'm writing "this morning's game") and it doesn't have Adam LaRoche's name in it.
LaRoche will get a day off against Giants lefty Madison Bumgarner, who has had a stellar 2012 season, going 10-4 with a 2.85 ERA.
Tyler Moore will start at first base today, Mark DeRosa will play right field and Michael Morse will get a rare start in left.
Here are the full lineups for today:
For the Nationals
2B Danny Espinosa
CF Bryce Harper
3B Ryan Zimmerman
LF Michael Morse
SS Ian Desmond
1B Tyler Moore
RF Mark DeRosa
C Jhonatan Solano
P Edwin Jackson
For the Giants
CF Gregor Blanco
2B Emmanuel Burriss
LF Melky Cabrera
C Buster Posey
3B Pablo Sandoval
1B Brandon Belt
RF Nate Schierholtz
SS Brandon Crawford
P Madison Bumgarner
Roster move: The Nationals have activated catcher Sandy Leon from the disabled list and optioned him to Double-A Harrisburg

In approving a master plan for a project to refurbish Saratoga's aging Civic Theater, the Saratoga City Council agreed to take a more feasible approach.
The plan, as suggested by Councilman Howard Miller, prioritizes areas of the building that either pose a safety risk or could make the theater more functional.
Miller's plan, approved unanimously by the council, asked Anderson-Brule Architects, an architectural and interior design firm tasked with undertaking the improvement project, to return with a refined design and cost estimate for the facility's restrooms, orchestra space, elevator, ticket booth and additional seating.
Michael Taylor, Saratoga's recreation and facilities director, was asked to take on other smaller tasks as part of his department's five-year plan, which had been put on hold pending the results of the master plan.
"We will continue to do the incremental improvements using the ticket surcharge funds, like we currently have planned a renovation of the ticket booth and a concession stand," Taylor said at the Oct. 2 council meeting.
Echoing the views of her counterparts, Mayor Jill Hunter said she preferred to make minimal changes to the facility.
"I think the stairs leading up to the KSAR soundbooth have to be fixed, and I think the bathroom is really bad," she said. "I like it this way. I'm happy to do some bits and pieces to keep it in good shape."
The council's decision was reached following a presentation by representatives from Anderson-Brule Architects on three conceptual design options and cost models for the design and construction of the renovated theater, as well as a plan to implement the components over time.
The first option calls for modifying the stage and expanding the seating area. Improvements would be made to the restrooms, storage, dressing rooms and the concessions area. This plan would make the facility ADA-compliant, add a covered walkway for actors and maintain the quantity of the seating. The cost is estimated at $3.42 million.
The second option includes everything from the first plan plus additional building upgrades. This plan would include the addition of an orchestra pit and light and sound vestibules, as well as a re-raking of the seating area. The total cost for this plan is $4.92 million.
The third option, the most elaborate of the three, includes everything from the prior two plans but with major upgrades to the facility, such as bigger restrooms with ramps, a new council chamber, remodeled dressing rooms and removal of seating to accommodate an orchestra pit, at a cost of $5.07 million.
In response to questions from council members on why the firm did not explore the option of demolishing and rebuilding the theater, representatives said that in that scenario, not only would the cost of construction and renovation increase to at least $12 million, but that the square footage of the new building would also go up.
In developing a master plan, the firm held meetings over the summer with all key stakeholders, including city staff, the public and theater groups to determine which aspects of the facility each group wanted to maintain and which they wanted to change.
City staff indicated that the layout of the building is "inadequate for chamber purposes" due to the location of the dais on a raised stage, which creates a height separation barrier between the council and the audience, and makes it out of compliance with ADA standards for audience access. Additionally, they noted that the screen is placed in a location so that both the council and the audience have difficulty viewing presentations.
Theater groups, meanwhile, complained about the stage layout and numerous operational inadequacies, including the lack of an orchestra pit, but said they want to maintain the building's size, parking and rental cost.
The public, too, wanted to see the building's size and show prices retained, but preferred the addition of an orchestra pit, outside access for actors, a bigger parking lot, more cameras and an improved sound system. They also wanted the addition of footpaths for bicycle and walking access and a parking structure that isn't too visible from the street.
All three groups agreed there are not enough restrooms in the building. City officials and the theater groups said the lobby is too small.
The civic theater is used on alternating Wednesdays for city council and planning commission meetings. The venue also serves as a small theater and is used by West Valley Light Opera and South Bay Musical Theatre Company, two theater groups that rent the facility approximately 160 days per year for rehearsals and weekend performances.
The 7,436-square-foot theater was built in 1964 at a cost of $168,000 with 299 seats.
Over the years, the facility has undergone numerous upgrades and improvements, including new doors, new counterweight systems on the stage, new sound and lighting systems, electrical upgrades and renovated seating and stage flooring.
The council agreed to allocate $60,000 for the development of a master plan at its annual retreat in January. At that meeting, the council shared ideas on how to make a more functional theater while maintaining the dual use of the facility, and reducing the cost and effort required to transition from meetings to theater and back again.
The council selected Anderson-Brule Architects, a San Jose-based firm that has worked on such notable local projects as San Jose's Martin Luther King Jr. Library and Notre Dame High School, out of 11 firms that submitted proposals.

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Middle East
The Ministry of Finance commissioned Dar to design and prepare the tender documents of the Madinah Convention Centre. In one year, we constructed a center that is modern and that comfortably accommodates the big number of people who frequent it. We also designed the center to fit the context of its construction as Al Madinah was chosen to be the capital of Islamic culture for 2013.
The project
We drew on Islamic historical buildings for inspiration when it comes to the centre's massing, domes, elevations treatments, interior decoration, patterns, and furniture. We also equipped the centre with the latest technologies like a translation booth, an info center, a press lounge, a backstage, etc.
We developed the centre on 3 floors, and included a basement level as well. We also accommodated for the needs of the users by dedicating part of the basement to parking spaces, along with the ground level parking. In total, we have provided parking for 2, 100 cars. We also included:
- A main convention theatre
- Two large exhibition halls
- Three multi-purpose halls
- Meeting rooms
- A business centre
- An economic and media centre
- Service areas.

Bryan Murray is done with the guessing games.
Though Murray is willing to patiently answer questions about the Senators' injuries, he's given up looking into his crystal ball when it comes to predicting their return to the lineup.
"When players tell me they're 100% and they're ready to play, then they'll be back in the lineup," Murray said prior to last night's game against the Rangers.
"Until they return to playing, I'm not going to worry about them and I'm not going to think about them. I've just decided to go with the 20 guys we've got in the lineup every night and those are the guys I am going to focus on."
The injury list was reduced by one with the return of defenceman Anton Volchenkov, but the club was short defenceman Wade Redden, who returned home to Lloydminster, Sask., for family reasons.
Already missing Dominik Hasek, Zdeno Chara, Chris Phillips and Mike Fisher, the loss of Redden was just another blow.
But it sounds like giving daily updates to the media and getting information about the wounded is starting to take its toll on Murray.
"I spend more time in meetings with the training staff talking about injured players than I do talking about the players who are in the lineup for us," said Murray.
Asked to give an update on the status of Havlat -- who is getting ready to return from shoulder surgery -- Murray sounded more than a little perturbed.
"You're going to have to ask Martin Havlat when he's going to be back," said Murray. "It looks like it's going to be a little while longer. He got clearance from the doctor to have some physical contact, but he didn't get clearance to play. I'm not really sure what's happening because I haven't talked to him. I was just told he's not ready to play."
Havlat wasn't concerned with the results of an exam Wednesday in Toronto by shoulder specialist, Dr. Anthony Miniaci, who performed the surgery Dec. 13.
Havlat will meet with Miniaci on April 10. He could get clearance to play and return against the Bruins the next night.
"I would say we're right on track with where it should be," said Havlat. "They said when I had the surgery it was going to be 4-6 months and when I return it will be almost four months.
"I want to get some games in before the playoffs. You want a chance to get your timing back."
Muddled? For sure.
But it's another reason why Murray has decided to stop guessing about the return of the injured players.
Murray had hoped to have Fisher back from an ankle injury against the Rangers, but after a discussion at the morning skate learned he's going to need more time.
"I spend a lot of time answering your questions here," said Murray. "But I don't spend any time in the room talking about injured players.
"At some point or another during the day, the training room becomes a gathering point for the players. That's where they go have their coffee and discuss what is going on with the team. All these players know what's happening with the guys who are injured."
No area has been hit harder than the blue line. The depleted corps was propped up last night by Binghamton call-ups Brad Norton and Filip Novak.
Hasek (adductor muscle) made a step in the right direction by skating with equipment for the first time in six weeks and Chara (deep hand bruise) "was handling the puck better than he does in games," according to Murray.
Will everybody be healthy and ready for the playoffs?
Murray believes they will, but he's going to practise patience and wait for the players to tell him they're ready to return.

Hallandale Beach police are investigating the shooting death of a 20-year-old man after a robbery at a mobile home park, a police spokesman said Saturday.
The victim, identified as Lazaro Cuesta, was gunned down about 10:30 a.m. Saturday, when two robbers arrived at a residence at the Golden Trio mobile home neighborhood in the 7000 block of Southwest Eighth Avenue, according to Hallandale police spokesman Maj. Thomas Honan.
Before the robbers showed, five people were at the home: the victim, two other visitors and two people who live there, Honan said. The male robbers fled after the killing, he said. Saturday, police were questioning witnesses.
Cuesta's family stood at the crime scene, mourning him. His grandmother told NBC 6 that her grandson had played drums in his high school marching band and had wanted to pursue a career as a firefighter.

Logan Sean Jacobs, 22, also admitted to violating the state 24/7 Sobriety program three times since he was released from jail on Sept. 11.
He faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine as a result of the conviction.
In exchange for the plea, prosecutors dismissed a charge of possession of a weapon or tool with the intent to commit burglary.
Judge Rodney Steele allowed Jacobs to remain out on bail but said if he violates probation again he will stay in jail until he is sentenced.
A presentence investigation was ordered and sentencing was set for November.

Business Description
Relocatable! Seller reports that business can be moved to any location in the U.S. and new installations created for less than $5,000, so this is a golden opportunity to acquire a thriving business that can be operated in a location selected by the Buyer! The Seller started his business in 2006, and has evolved since then into both new and used clothing sales to national and international markets. Merchandise includes name brand clothing, perfume, shoes, home goods, electronics, etc. This merchandise is shipped from the coast of Houston, TX to International markets as well as via carriers serving domestic markets. The asking price is below market value and income is verifiable via tax returns. All payments for the sale of merchandise is collected in advance so there are no Accounts Receivable.

Current active database includes approximately 40,000 customers; vibrant web site and the name of the business will transfer to the new Owner. Current accounts are with Macy's, Target, and Home Depot to name a few, and result in high profit margins. Seller collects used clothing and merchandise from churches and from consumers directly, as well from established retail stores. This is a great business model, and the sky is the limit relative to growth opportunities. The Seller will provide Buyer with complete training for two weeks and more training can be negotiated if required by the Buyer. The business can be relocated since a Buyer can run this business from anywhere within the United States, if Buyer decides to move warehouse inventory to another location.

Developing a personal brand is all about how the little stuff adds up to the greater reality of who you truly are. The sum of all the parts (if you will). In those nuances is your uniqueness. Your beauty. Your "you." Your personal brand.
As a music lover and someone who spent the better part of my career watching (and writing about) people rise to fame (and others that didn't), I began to realize that sometimes it is not the artist at all, but simply their intonation. Again, those little flections in words, moves and visuals that grab someone's attention. I often reflect on the many bands that would debut their latest video in my presence and talk about "the money shot" - that one instant that binds the whole concept together, and it was always something as simple as the way the camera was angled when the artist looked into the lens or when something (usually unplanned) took place and they captured it.
Music is a powerful tool for connecting and for building your personal brand. It truly is the soundtrack of your life. I'm sure you've heard the song 'Fix You' by Coldplay. Imagine the music, think about the lyrics. You might even recall that this song was used in many chick-flicks or during the commercial for the movie, World Trade Center.
Now, I'd like you to watch the video below. It's by a chorus called Young@Heart. They are comprised of people between the ages of 73 - 92. Here's how the Young@Heart website describes the group: "There are some with prior professional theater or music experience, others who have performed extensively on the amateur level, and some who never stepped onto a stage before turning eighty."
Personal brand. Same words, same music you've heard and seen before (watch the original Coldplay video here: Fix You). Completely different spirit and brand when done by Young@Heart. It has a whole new meaning. Enjoy, share and pass it along. It's an amazing moment:
(thanks to Shardy)

I guess I've said it before, but I'll say it again: You can't hurry Mr. Market along. In a long-term ("primary cycle") sense, the benchmark U.S. stock indexes look very overextended on the upside. We're due for a more significant decline than we've had over the past two years. However, that doesn't mean Wall Street's scruffy old man is ready to stumble out of the doorway just yet.
Too many indicators of the market's internal health are still too strong for a major downturn to get rolling. For example, the daily NYSE advance-decline line[1] (the cumulative total of advancing stocks, minus decliners) broke out to a new all-time high today.
It would be extremely rare for a primary top to form with the A/D line ascending fresh peaks. At the final high for the marquee indexes (Dow, S&P 500, etc.), the A/D will most likely diverge and make a lower high.
So we're left with our "road map," which suggests that a really important top—the kind that might require us to take special defensive measures—probably won't arrive until late April (at least).
Meanwhile, I'm carefully watching the flow of economic news. Tuesday's sharp drop in homebuilder confidence[2] adds one more data point to the case for a slowdown in business activity later in the year.
Granted, many of the weak numbers we've seen lately (industrial production, retail sales, jobless claims, purchasing managers' sentiment) can be waved aside on account of the weather. It's possible, though, that these statistics represent the first signs of a more serious retrenchment down the road. If so, the market's technical evidence will, sooner or later, confirm the message from the economic releases. But not yet!
For now, I continue to recommend that you keep accumulating great business franchises, gradually, at discounted prices. Tuesday we got a nice chance to buy Coca-Cola (KO[3]) on an earnings-related pullback.
The Street wasn't happy with Coke's soft Q4 results[4], announced before Tuesday's opening bell. During the quarter, global case volume gained only 1% versus analyst expectations of 3%. Earnings per share met the consensus for the quarter, but were up only 2% from the year-ago period on a comparable basis (stripping out one-time items).
Obviously, I'm not cheering these figures, either. They're mediocre by any standard.
However, CEO Muhtar Kent isn't standing still. He disclosed plans to cut $1 billion in costs by 2016. Coca-Cola will pull out of the doldrums and sail ahead again, a pattern the company has repeated numerous times throughout its long history.
Don't forget, too, that KO is rewarding you from Day #1 with a 3% dividend. (I expect the payout to be sweetened shortly—an added bonus.) I've been building my position in the stock on down days like today, and I encourage you to do the same. Five years out, I believe KO will have outperformed the S&P 500 index by a wide margin, mainly because of the substantial valuation discount the stock is trading at right now.
Buy quality cheap. It's one of the few investment maxims you can count on to pay off, almost infallibly, over the long run.
P.S. Another blue chip that took an earnings-related thump is Waste Management (WM[5]). The nation's largest trash hauler isn't selling at quite as big a discount (relative to the stock's own history) as KO. However, this quasi-utility business would rate a buy on a further pullback.

Notes: Masset flexible with role
Notes: Masset flexible with role
"Closer!" White Sox closer Bobby Jenks, sitting in the next cubicle, quickly answered for the 24-year-old right-hander.
Masset laughed. He had just pitched a perfect inning against the Angels to help his chances of winning a job in the White Sox bullpen.
"I'm really happy," Masset said of his performance in Spring Training. "I'm attacking hitters, throwing strikes. I feel like my changeup is coming along quite a bit. I've been throwing it over the plate for strikes, and I can throw it to lefties or righties at any time."
Masset, acquired from the Rangers along with pitchers John Danks and Jacob Rasner in the deal that sent Brandon McCarthy to Texas, has been pitching well after a so-so beginning this spring.
"We all know he's got a good arm -- hopefully, he'll continue to do that," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "The way he's throwing the ball right now, I don't see why he won't make the team."
Masset throws five pitches: fastball, curveball, cutter, slider and changeup. He's also showing an ability to be equally effective against left-handers and right-handers and has adapted well to a relief role, although most of his experience in the Minor Leagues was as a starter.
"Wherever they put me, I'm happy," Masset said. "I've done it all, so I'd love to be long relief for them this year, because I've always been a starter, and if they need me for two or three [innings] out of the bullpen, I feel like I can do it."
Pierzynski's odyssey: A.J. Pierzynski was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup because he didn't arrive at Tucson Electric Park until approximately 35 minutes before game time.
Pierzynski had been given Friday off, in addition to Thursday's off-day, to visit his family in Florida. Pierzynski has a 6-week-old son who is too young to travel. The visit went fine, but the return to camp was a nightmare.
Pierzynski boarded a U.S. Air flight from Orlando to Las Vegas, but 45 minutes after takeoff, things went wrong.
"We had to make an emergency landing in Tallahassee," Pierzynski said. "All the generators failed on the plane -- there was no power. [The plane] flew fine, but they couldn't take the chance. [The pilot] said if something else went wrong, we would have major problems, which I took as 'crash.'"
Pierzynski spent the night in the Tallahassee airport and caught a flight from there to Atlanta at 6 a.m. ET on Saturday.
"I had to run and catch my plane in Atlanta, got to Phoenix at 9, had another mechanical failure in Phoenix and had to wait there two hours," he said.
The catcher finally caught a flight to Tucson and made it in time to at least watch the game from the dugout.
"Good travel," Pierzynski said. "Sitting in the Tallahssee airport is a lot of fun. But I got to see my family."
Aardsma answers: Another candidate for a bullpen spot, right-hander David Aardsma, matched Masset with a scoreless inning of his own.
"I think this was the best he's thrown the ball all spring," Guillen said. "He was throwing the ball over the plate -- I'd like to see that more often. We all know this kid's got a pretty good arm. I was happy with his outing today. He did what he's supposed to do, and hopefully, that's a step forward for him."
Aardsma, obtained from the Cubs for Neal Cotts, has a fastball that has been clocked as high as 97 mph, along with a slider and changeup. Command has been an issue for the first-round pick (22nd overall) of the 2003 First-Year Player Draft. He walked one on Saturday.
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
Getting close: With two weeks of camp remaining, Guillen wants his team to start turning it up a notch in preparation for the season. With that in mind, the lineup Guillen first wrote out for the game against the Angels could be very close to the one he uses on Opening Day against the Cleveland Indians.
Guillen's initial batting order consisted of Pablo Ozuna at third base, Darin Erstad in left field, Jim Thome at designated hitter, Paul Konerko at first base, Jermaine Dye in right field, Pierzynski catching, Tadahito Iguchi at second base, Alex Cintron at shortstop and Brian Anderson in center field.
Thome, Konerko, Dye, Pierzynski and Iguchi are locks. Assuming that Scott Podsednik is ready to go Opening Day -- and if the outfielder's performance on Friday is any indication, he has recovered from his sports hernia injury -- he could start in left field, with Erstad in center. Juan Uribe is ahead of Cintron at shortstop, and of course Joe Crede, not Ozuna, will be the regular third baseman.
Quotable: "We're playing a lot better baseball the last three or four games, and I expect to play better and better when we get close to the season. I'm really happy with the stage we are [at] right now." -- Guillen
Extra bases: Anderson twisted his right ankle in the ninth inning of Sunday's game, but he was not believed to be seriously injured. "I kind of rolled over it," Anderson said. "When I saw it give out, it kind of freaked me out a little bit. But I'm fine." ... Pierzynski was replaced in the lineup by Gustavo Molina. ... Ozuna made a diving catch of a hot smash off the bat of Jeff Mathis in the fifth inning. ... Entering Saturday's game against the Angels, the White Sox had scored 71 runs (10.1 per game) and batted .357 (92-for-255) with 17 doubles and 14 home runs over their last seven games. ... Outfielder Luis Terrero, signed as a free agent on Nov. 3, is batting .333 with a .391 on-base percentage, two homers and six RBIs in his bid to make the Opening Day roster. Terrero, 26, is a career .235 hitter. He hit .318 with 16 homers and 44 RBIs in 84 games for Triple-A Ottawa last season and .200 during 27 games with Baltimore. ... First baseman Eduardo Perez will be out the next couple of days because of a strained right calf. ... The White Sox wore green caps on Saturday in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
On deck: The battle for the final spot in the White Sox rotation will be front and center on Sunday when the White Sox head up I-10 to Peoria for a 4:05 p.m. CT game against the Padres at Peoria Stadium. Left-hander John Danks, perhaps the leading candidate at this point for the fifth spot in the Sox rotation, will make his first start of the spring after four consecutive relief appearances. Danks enters the start 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA in the spring. Right-hander Gavin Floyd, another top contender for the spot, will follow Danks on the mound. Right-hander Matt Thornton is also scheduled to pitch for the White Sox. The Padres will start left-hander David Wells.

I recently flashed new CyanogenMod 11 on my moto x and I lost active display and touchless control app can anyone tell me how do I get back these two app
I tried using PAC for a few days. The battery drain for me was terrible. Every time I pulled my phone out of my pocket the screen was on. I think I screwed up by having active display and their notification screen enabled. Additionally, the 'blame the split screen' crashes were amusing the first few times but quickly became infuriating.
I'm currently trying out slimrom on my moto x. It doesn't have active display, but it's probably the smoothest rom I've used on the phone. I'm using an app from the Play Store, DynamicNotifications, which is a better option, imo, verse the built in AOSP version (which I believe is based on AcDisplay, but I could be completely wrong about that).
I'm going to give slim a try for a few days, but I don't think anything will work as well Eclipse.
If you're set on an AOSP rom, give slim a chance. If you want a feature packed AOSP rom, check out LiquidSmooth (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto...ghost-t2781356). I think LS has the same features or almost the same features as PAC, but it didn't crash nearly as much on my device. I actually made it a full week before switching back to Eclipse.

NHB: Archery Association Streamlines IT and Reduces Costs With Online PC Management
NHB is an amateur archery association based in the Netherlands, with more than 10,000 members in 250 local clubs. With just seven part-time staff and three or four trainers and coaches, NHB publishes a website and a magazine, organizes competitions, and coaches national teams. With only seven part-time employees and little in-house IT expertise, archery association NHB wanted to simplify its IT environment. When NHB replaced its on-premises collaboration environment with the Microsoft Business Productivity Online Standard Suite, it opted to manage its PCs with Windows Intune, a cloud-based PC-management and security service.

Resident injury analysts Corey Dawkins and Marc Normandin wrote about Jason Castro's torn meniscus in vivid detail on Friday before the specifics of the injury were available. The world has since learned that Castro will miss the season with a severe ACL torn. Chalk this one up as a disappointment. The former first round pick appeared likely to enter the regular season as the starter for the first time in his young career. Now, he's looking at an extended road to recovery that will claim his opportunity.
Without Castro, the Astros have to decide whether acquiring a new backstop is worth their time. The in-house options for Brad Mills to call upon are Humberto Quintero and J.R. Towles, neither of whom is the ideal solution at starter. Quintero excels at defense –and not just on the basis of Nichols Law—, with perennially strong caught stealing rates. Catching and throwing are an important part of any catcher's game and Quintero masters them, unfortunately, this comes at the cost of any worthwhile offensive skill. Towles' minor league track record has yet to translate over and at this point who knows if it will, although PECOTA does seem optimistic with a .250 projected TAv.
If Ed Wade becomes ambitious –and indications are he may— then Jesus Flores of the Nationals could be the Astros' Opening Day catcher. At 26, Flores has witnessed a little over a season's worth of plate appearances while hitting .260/.313/.406, good for a .253 TAv (the league-average catcher had a .256 TAv last season). The pop is impressive and genuine if the scouting reports about Flores are to be believed, however his plate discipline could use some work, as he's struck out 112 more times than he's walked and holds a career 0.26 walk-to-strikeout ratio.
Flores' tenure in Washington never got started. After snagging Flores from the Mets in the Rule 5 draft, the Nats sat him behind Paul Lo Duca so he could learn the ropes at the game's highest level. They then returned him to the minors while employing the likes of Lo Duca and Johnny Estrada instead. Wouldn't you know it, the first chance Flores had to grasp the starter's job and he tore his labrum after hitting like a star in a tiny sample. He spent the 2010 season getting his shoulder healthy and now finds Ivan Rodriguez and Wilson Ramos ahead on the depth chart while Derek Norris is in pursuit.
No longer a piece of the Nats' future puzzle, Flores would be be joining an organization who also has a long-term option at catcher in tow. A healthy and hitting Flores could prove to be interesting trade bait at season's end or, as Christina Kahrl mentioned to me, might knock Brett Wallace out of first base reps come 2012 should the Walrus remain overmatched at the plate. In the meantime, Flores should represent an upgrade over the known horrors present in the Astros' clubhouse, thus creating some –if only a small piece—of solace for the Astros' faithful hoping to see a backstop with upside this season.

Texas senior tight end McFarland to transfer
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas senior tight end M.J. McFarland has been granted his unconditional release and will transfer.
McFarland graduated in May with a degree in applied learning and development.
On the field, he caught 19 passes with three touchdowns in 36 career games. He started four games last year, catching 11 passes for 53 yards and two touchdowns as Texas finished 6-7 in coach Charlie Strong's first season.
The school announced the move Wednesday. It did not say where McFarland will transfer.
