The Cleveland Browns may find it difficult to agree on a long term extension with safety T.J. Ward, which is why it's increasingly possible the team may opt to place a franchise tag on their safety.
Per ESPN Cleveland:
I'm getting a sense that the Browns might be contemplating using the franchise tag on Ward.
Ward, assuming he made it to free agency, would likely be the top safety on the market – or at least number two behind fellow potential free agent Jairus Byrd.
The former Oregon Duck is very good against the pass, though, excels against the run as he ranked out as the top overall run stopping safety according to Pro Football Focus this past season.
Ward has already stated that he is open to remaining in Cleveland, so it's doubtful he'll be too bent out of shape over a potential franchise tag considering he'd become one of the highest paid safeties in the league.
There's currently no word on a potential contract extension.

McCabe signs new two year deal
|Monday, 19 November 2012 11:53
Shamrock Rovers midfielder, Gary McCabe today put pen to paper on a new two year deal with the Hoops.
The 24-year-old Tallaght native joined the club before the 2011 season and is now contracted to Rovers until the end of 2014.
Gary has won the league and Setanta Cup with the Hoops, and says he is looking forward to more success at the club.
He said: "I'm delighted to have signed the new deal. I worked with Trevor before, under Michael O'Neill, so I know how good he is and I'm looking forward to working with him again. It's good to have the security of a two year contract, but it's also a boost as it shows that Trevor has confidence in me to do well.
"I can't wait to get back into the football next season and to put this year behind us. I think we're going to have a good year in 2013."
Hoops manager, Trevor Croly explained that Gary will play a key role in his plans for the new season.
He said: "It's brilliant to have signed Gary up for another two years. There were other clubs interested in him, but he was keen to stay on. He is an exciting player who can create and score goals, so he will continue to be a great asset to the team. He can also play in a number of positions; it is always good to have versatile players like that in your squad."

Morning Report: Fat Tuesday!
Today is the one day on the calendar where Americans should feel comfortable ordering extra food, and then topping off their meal with a Polish doughnut the size of their head. It's Fat Tuesday!
Tomorrow, we start Lent, where all good Catholics like me will be forced to give up something to prove that we're penitent for our sins. For me, this sacrifice is typically swearing. So this blog will be only slightly more fun, because not only will it be a sin when I swear on it, it will be a mortal sin. Which means I can go to Hell immediately for it. No passing "Go," no collecting $200. Which makes the possibility of being hit by a city bus all that less attractive.
1. The guy who told Obama how much he sucked at a prayer breakfast is open to running for office as soon as he can retire from this pediatric neurosurgery thing he does.
2. A lot more people are drinking now, which means that people who make your alcohol are having to meet demand, and given the fact that the government keeps diverting corn crops to ethanol production, instead of making more alcohol, they're just watering down the stuff you already buy.
3. You paid $2.2 billion to a program last year that makes sure poor people have nicer cell phones than you do.
4. The Representative from Florida would prefer that you not confuse her with the facts, sir.
5. North Korea almost succeeded in blowing themselves up last night. We responded with a sternly worded letter.
Good luck, America. The SOTU drinking game rules will be out later, and you can join me tonight, during the fiesta on Twitter.

I made this for company last night and it is very good but could have been a little sweeter. I used vanilla ice cream for the yogurt. Mixing the Pate a Choux was a little difficult because the eggs were hard to encorporate into the flour mixture but it all worked out. I put the baked cream puffs in a plastic container and they got a little soft. They probably could have just sat out for a few hours. Nice make-ahead dessert.

Albany-- After Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, the world saw how unprepared the city was to handle such a catastrophic disaster. A break down in the chain of command and communication left people without the emergency help they desperately needed.
So, if a disaster struck here in Albany, would we be prepared?
Albany first responders learn to assess the danger of a hazard material spill from computers. Training exercises, like this Hazmat class, teach emergency workers how to save lives and property during a disaster. That why's training is a major part of Albany and Dougherty County's local emergency operation plan, or LEOP.
In the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, Deputy EMA Director Jim Vaught updated city commissioners on the emergency plan yesterday. "The city commissioners asked very good questions about what we would do if this happened to us," Vaught said.
The first step: Prepare. That's where training comes in. In the case of a storm, the EMA uses to media to deliver important warnings and plans to the public. "We have an opportunity to announce ahead of time that we are going to evacuate and to ensure we evacuate."
The second step: Response. Each city and county department knows ahead of time what its role during a disaster will be, from EMS providing emergency health care to Water, Gas, and Light crews restoring utilities. And 23 southwest counties work together to help effected areas.
Vaught said, "If we needed something like sandbags, another may be designated to bring those to us. Or we may be asked to bring a back hoe for a community to use in their debris removal."
The local government is in charge of emergency response, with GEMA and FEMA ready to step in if necessary. The Emergency Operation Center is opened to field calls and direct emergency works to people in need. There's a GEMA approved list of shelters ready to house evacuees.
The Final Step of the emergency plan: Recovery.
If the President declares the area a disaster area, FEMA sends money and aid. Then the rebuilding of homes, businesses and lives begins. Hopefully a good emergency plan can protect all three.
Albany-Dougherty County must update its emergency operation plan annual and it must be approved by GEMA every four years.

It's no secret that breastfeeding is all the rage with celebrity moms, but as shocking as it may be to some -- not all famous mamas stick to the boob 100 percent of the time.
Whether it be to supplement with formula, to feed their babies with pumped milk so they don't have to whip out their breasts in public (the paps are everywhere), or simply because they can't or do not wish to breastfeed -- some celeb moms have been spotted out and about with baby bottles used to nourish their little ones.
See, not everyone can commit to exclusive breastfeeding -- not even high-profile moms, which should make you breathe a sigh of relief if you're also a bottle-feeding mama.
Check out these photos to see six celeb moms who bottle-feed their babies or did in the past.
Image via Splash
Who cares? What celebrities do has nothing to do with any decision I make for my child. What they do does not make me feel better or worse about any choice I've made. However, I will admit I made my man watch Tori Spellings show when I was pregnant because I wanted him to know there were pregnant women out there that are were crazier than me.
I bottle fed my son breastmilk for 14 months. Good stuff.
lol funny how Snooki is using a Medela bottle. Just because its a bottle, doesn't mean its formula. And even if it is, who really cares? The whole breast vs bottle thing is like beating a dead horse at this point.
Bottle feeding can be fine, but never best! Bethanny Frankel looks really invested in feeding and nurturing her daughter; maybe she shouls just leave it to the nanny. :(

Bring me there.
radio, wires, wire staples
A few years ago I left on a journey that left me sad and alone. No matter how depressed I was, one thing that was sure to bring me comfort was listening to music that connected me to home. I would upload all my favorite Minnesota artists onto my flash drive and play their songs while I was driving. It was the best feeling in the world to have a package arrive with Dessa's new album in it. Or downloading Astronautalis's new mix tape. It was the radio that brought me home. And now I don't want to leave.

WASHINGTON- President Barack Obama on Sunday declared an emergency in Maryland and ordered federal agencies to help state and local governments respond to the effects of Hurricane Sandy.
The president has authorized the Federal Emergency Management Agency to aid in disaster relief efforts statewide. Emergency protective measures, limited to direct federal assistance, will be provided at 75 percent federal funding.
FEMA has appointed Michael J. Lapinski as the federal coordinating officer for federal recovery operations in the affected area.

text: Thanks. As far as the single shots...I meant more spacing them out, not dividing up the multi shots like MMR. So for example, do Hib. Four weeks later do Prevnar. Four weeks later do DTaP. Etc. So that way if there was a reaction, you would know which shot it was in relation to? I don't know how that would work with every insurance, but I know that for ours, if we go for a nurse visit just to get a shot, the shot is charged as part of the well visit (whenever that happened to be) and there is no charge for the nurse visit. So it is not any more expensive, just more trips to the doctor. But worth it?

With G.O.O.D. Music honcho Kanye West releasing Yeezus last week, and G.O.O.D. MC Pusha T prepping his solo debut, Big Sean must have felt left out. So the young rapper took to his YouTube channel to announce the official release date of his album Hall Of Fame, which drops August 27.
In the video announcement, Sean turns around slowly to reveal the release date on what looks like an intergalactic Snuggie — Kanye would probably approve. Watch the ominous trailer for Hall Of Fame below.
Back in April, Big Sean was photographed in the studio with fellow Detroit rapper Eminem, and Sean said their collaboration will be a "Detroit classic." Still no word on whether that track will be on this album or Eminem's forthcoming eighth effort, though.

In late April, when Athens' Creature Comforts Brewing Co. opened its doors to the public for the first time, it was the culmination of years of dreaming and doing for brewer David Stein.
Stein, who is a University of Georgia grad, developed the Creature Comforts brand as an Atlanta home brewer, giving away samples to friends and building a following while working at Brick Store Pub and Ale Yeah.
Later, Stein became better known as the brewer at Twain's brew pub in Decatur, where he experimented with many of the recipes destined for the year-round lineup at Creature Comforts.
Right now, the brewery, which took over the landmark Snow Tire Co. building on West Hancock Avenue, has three beers on offer in its tasting room. Tropicalia is a balanced American IPA familiar from the Twain's days. Reclaimed Rye is an amber ale brewed with rye and aged on French oak. Athena Berliner Weisse is a refreshing

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness," is how Charles Dickens started his Tale of Two Cities, but he might have been referring to two modern-day grapes.
Australian shirazes and Argentine malbecs have occupied similar places in the American wine psyche. Both have enjoyed their seasons of Light, but only one has seen its season of Darkness, so far.
Australian wine exports to the U.S. are predicted to continue their slide this from $464 million to $448 million, according to an Australian trade publication. And while shiraz growers continue to plant shiraz vines, much of the wine produced flows into the bulk wine
In his new book, "The Craft Beer Revolution: How a Band of Microbrewers Is Transforming the World's Favorite Drink" (Palgrave Macmillan, $25), Steve Hindy chronicles nearly 50 years of American craft brewing history, from Fritz Maytag buying Anchor Brewing in 1965 to the current boom of innovative new breweries.
Hindy is a good man for the job for many reasons. As a former Associated Press Middle East correspondent, he knows how to get the facts and tell a good story — and he tells it warts and all. As the president and chairman of Brooklyn Brewery, which he co-founded in 1988, he's been both a craft beer eyewitness and a major player. And, nowadays, his membership on the boards of directors of the Beer Institute and the Brewers Association gives him what he modestly calls a "unique perspective as an insider."
Q: For some people, I think this book might come as a bit of a shock. You really get into some of the controversy and bickering that was and still is part

Listen up professional wine geeks, there's a new app out there called Tasteavore. You scan a special UPC code of a wine you are tasting at a trade show and it catalogs your notes along with facts about the winery, its personalities and the winemaking process. You receive a tidy, little e-mail a couple days later with the info. I love it! It beats the heck out of juggling a show guide, notebook and a tasting glass.
I just got my notes back from the High Museum Atlanta Wine Auction, which rolled through Atlantic Station in March. I tasted 11 pinot noirs, 10 cabernet sauvignons, one cabernet franc, one malbec and one viognier. The pinot noirs make sense, as I'm in the market for a
Some 2,000 people gathered March 22 at Red Brick Brewing on Atlanta's Westside for the inaugural Georgia Craft Beer Fest.
At a time when beer festivals have become commonplace, and craft beer is present everywhere from fine dining restaurants to gas stations and growler shops, it wasn't obvious that there was anything out of the ordinary going on.
But the sunny early spring afternoon was historic because it marked the first Georgia-only beer event, bringing together 26 breweries and brew pubs, including widely distributed and well-known brands such as Sweetwater from Atlanta and Terrapin from Athens, and fledgling companies such as Reformation from Woodstock and Omaha from Omaha, Ga.
"It was the first time we had Georgia breweries stand together like that," said John Pinkerton, the brewmaster and co-owner of the Moon River Brewpub in Savannah and president of the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild, which put on the festival. "There's never been a festival where it was

Chardonnay ain't what it used to be. Today, among other styles, we have the big, buttery California version that makes many wine lovers go "Ahhh!" Back in 1975, there was basically one model, one standard for excellence—the chardonnays from Burgundy, France. The following year, the status quo got a big kick in the backside.
To celebrate the United States Bicentennial, a tasting was set up in Paris that pitted six California chards against four acclaimed Burgundies. To everyone's disbelief, especially the French judges, an American winery won. This historic event came to be known as the Judgment of Paris and it lit a fire under the fledgling California wine industry.
And who changed the face of chardonnay that day? Who made
Brett Porter may have one of the most enviable and difficult jobs in the craft beer world.
Porter came to Chicago's Goose Island Beer Co. as head brewer in May 2010 and was promoted to brewmaster in 2011. But in what some in Chicago termed "the honk heard round the world," Anheuser-Busch InBev acquired Goose Island that same year.
And that transaction set up a battle between beer geeks, who declared the small craft brewery dead to them because of its corporate ties, and others, who pledged allegiance to the maker of sour and wood-aged delights like Sophie and Bourbon County Stout, no matter the source.
Atlanta has only been Goose Island territory since late 2012. Recently, after metro area AB InBev distributors brought in all sorts GI goodies for "Migration Week," including stuff like Bourbon County Rare aged in 23-year-old Pappy Van Winkle barrels, I interviewed Porter.
Our phone conversation, which was recorded my me and monitored by a

Maybe it's the word that strikes an uneasiness in the minds of those sitting around the table. Sommelier. It's a mouthful. Saw-muh-LYAY. I occasionally mangle it and I am one. Ooo-la-la, perhaps it's the Frenchiness of the word. Heck, there's even a movie about the lives of sommeliers and the producers saw fit to only use the first four letters—Somm.
Whatever the reason, wine lovers of all stripes tense up when I arrive at the table and utter the fateful words: "Will you be enjoying wine with your meal tonight?"
The situation has not reached crisis level. In fact, the majority of my wine patrons spell relief: s-o-m-m-e-l-i-e-r. They are either content for me to make their selections for the evening or they look forward to
"We're in such a hurry most of the time we never get much chance to talk. The result is a kind of endless day-to-day shallowness, a monotony that leaves a person wondering years later where all the time went and sorry that it's all gone." — Robert M. Pirsig, "Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance."
Recently, I was invited to give a talk about beer at the Friday Forum of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center. As the program put it, "Samples of the brewer's art will be provided."
For those who don't know much about Zen, it might seem rather odd that beer drinking would be welcomed in a quiet place dedicated to meditation.
But my good friend, who is a Soto Zen priest and an ASZC community member, assured me that the abbot, Zenkai Taiun Michael Elliston, and the other members were really looking forward to learning more about beer, and trying some, too.
Still, what kind of beer should I bring, I wondered. Thinking back to my early explorations of Zen, mainly
New Zealand sauvignon blancs have taken it on the chin in recent years, or so it would seem. Once the tart, fruity darling of the Anything But Chardonnay crowd, these days I find many folks turn up their noses at the mere mention of New Zealand's iconic wine.
Of course, others swear by kiwi sauvignon blancs. Wine sales from New Zealand, especially sauvignon blancs, continue their 30-year spiral upward. New Zealand's winemaking association reports a 22 percent increase from 2009 to 2013 amounting to $1.2 billion in export sales. Over the past 10 years, vineyard acreage has just about

Falcons Hope To Keep Buccaneers At Bottom Of NFC South
There's no exact antonym for the word "supremacy." A very close one is "inferiority." Whatever the exact opposite of supremacy actually is though, Tampa Bay and Atlanta will be playing to avoid that word as they are now two of the worst teams in the NFL.

What happens when a team has the best rushing defense, but the worst pass defense?

Do you see any valuable potentials in Landscape design/ Landscape Architect?
How much more can Landscape design contribute to climate change and to gain more understanding? Landscape design/ Landscape architect is very under rated. Or not even known what it is. Majority of people will probably know Landscape design as Garden Design, in the UK and Japan as I know of at least.
Landscape design can be psychologically change people's behavior and lifestyle by placing right things at right place to give people certain emotion.
I always wanted to discuss how much more Landscape designers can contribute to achieving sustainable life, or may be more simple and Earth-friendly life. I have been educated at University how to design landscapes and importance of ecology, but not much about what is needed in order to adapt climate change or urban life because we are not ecologist or scientist but my interest have always been in the climate change.
I like to ask if any other sector have seen potential value in landscape design, and if so what kind of potential?
Apologies for long essay I have just wrote, but I really liked to ask this question for a long time because I see lots of potential in Landscape design.
Closing Statement from Coco Okamoto
I had same discussion on Land8 (Landscape institute) website.
It was interesting and yet people have not disagreed or against me as I expected.
Some lines I have dropped:
Landscapes can be designed like an architecture. It is a space, with people, and elements, and environment. But the thing is, it is not a puzzle that can be moved around and fit into places just for the comfort spatially. It is more like reversi (the game). If something goes wrong in such a small space, that can change a whole thing. I am looking at more of positive side so it means that one little thing can change a whole thing as a system.
Now the point is that this system i am talking about needs a whole networking. So everyone needs to have an awareness in this point.
I am only a graduate student so I wanted to discuss and ask about this idea with all sorts of people from environmental manager to economic planner. Now I wonder what those people think...
Do you think collaboration may be the way?

Apr 28 2012: I think that landscape designers can have a greater impact in our constructed environment by becoming more vocal. You said yourself that few people know what it is. This field seems 'asleep' to me, or so far in the background as to be unnoticed except by a select few. Whereas 'architecture' is more well known and more roundly respected. For me, landscape design would include architecture. Maybe part of the problem is that landscape design is really in the public domain, as it is experienced by all passers by. It may not seem so 'personal' as an 'interior' environment would be, therefore less attention is given. I don't know. Many communities though seem to be more and more concerned about their 'appeal' as places to live and are giving landscaping more of a nod.
May 2 2012: Hi, I like this wording of "asleep". It makes sense to me. This field is something that it has always been around but not really built into our system.
The thing is, that many landscape architecture and landscape designs comes from architects, I think this is a little bit strange. I think that is too much to take for architects.
Personalising landscapes idea is a quite interesting point. We often divide parks and public squares into "public", "semi-public" "semi-private" and "private" in terms of atmosphere. Maybe it appears more to people if there are more detailed separation in landscape designs. Thanks for the very interesting comment!!

State education officials say students in Georgia's elementary and middle schools improved on most of the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests, or CRCTs, taken this year.
The state Department of Education released statewide results of the 2013 standardized tests on Tuesday.
Agency officials say the results show a one-year improvement in the percentage of students meeting and exceeding standards on 18 of the 30 content-area tests, no change on seven tests and decreases on five tests.
Also, students saw increases in the "exceeds performance" rating on 24 of the 30 content areas.
State School Superintendent John Barge said in a statement that the results show consistent progress by Georgia students.
State officials say school-level CRCT results will be available no later than July 10.

High School Report Card
SATs, RaMPs, PhDs... We give you all the stats, info, and explanation you need to evaluate your local high school.
(page 1 of 6)
Photography by John Rizzo
How good is your town's high school? That depends on how you define "good." But if you ask the experts what makes a school good, the answer is universal: engaged students.
What does that mean? It means that kids go to school because they want to, not because they have to. They do their homework because it helps them, not because it's required. They spend extra time in clubs and sports because they like them, not because it will look good on a college résumé. Sound idyllic? Of course it is—we're talking about teenagers here, not-quite-fully formed human beings with raging hormones and role models who spend most of their time in rehab. But that doesn't mean that there aren't schools trying to engage these kids—and more than a few that are actually succeeding.
You might think that measuring something as subjective as "engagement" is impossible, but it's not. It's difficult but doable, according to the experts we consulted. Once they gave us some signs to look for, we asked the 44 public high schools in Westchester to give us data that reflected that elusive quality. We also talked to educators around the country to find out what the numbers on the chart starting on page 60 really mean to students and parents.
Nearly every school was helpful, and most cautioned against comparing one school to another. More than one supplied data but refused to discuss it. Barbara Scaros, director of the Edith Winthrop Teacher Center of Westchester, explains why: "Schools are so complicated and their populations and parent populations are so different that to put them on the same list is kind of like trying to determine who is the best parent. 'Your kids are polite, but mine has better handwriting.'"
Comparing schools is particularly pointless in Westchester, she says, "where you have, on the one hand, the Masters of the Universe from Bedford and Katonah and, on the other, working-class people from Yonkers and Mount Vernon who send their kids to school with no less hope but a lot less accoutrements."
Nevertheless, the information we gathered still is useful to parents trying to choose the high school that would most likely satisfy their children's needs best. It serves no purpose to compare the SAT scores from Armonk's Byram Hills to those from Chappaqua's Horace Greeley, but it is useful to know what those scores mean and how to best interpret them.
We looked at data in three broad areas. First, we looked at standardized test scores, particularly the SAT and NY Regents exams. Second, we looked at socioeconomic factors including average household income in each school district, how much each school spends on educating its students, and how well educated each district's teaching staff is. Finally, we collected information that would help us determine how Westchester high schools "engaged" their students. These included the four-year graduation rate, the ratio of students to guidance counselors, the number of students involved in extracurricular activities, and how many college-level courses were offered.
No one criterion can be used to determine if your kid's school is "good." Taken together, though, these measures will give you a feel for their high school experience.
SAT Scores
One of the most frequently used criteria for judging a school's success is its students' performance on the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Tests) Reasoning Test given to college-bound juniors and seniors. More than two million students take the test each year. Indeed, it's the nation's most widely taken standardized college admissions test, according to The College Board, a not-for-profit association composed of more than 5,400 schools, colleges, universities, and other educational organizations, that administers the test. The exam covers reading, writing, and mathematics, with each section scored from 200 to 800. Nationwide, average scores for each section are typically around 500; this year, they were 530 in Westchester.
"SAT scores are a weak predictor of college success," says Dr. Leslie Soodak, professor of Education and chair of the Department of Education at Pace University's Pleasantville Campus. "We're all realistically cautious about their use." The caution is well placed. According to a report released by Fair Test, a two-decades-old advocacy organization fighting to reform assessments in the United States, "the University of Pennsylvania looked at the power of high school class rank, SAT I, and SAT II in predicting cumulative college GPAs. Researchers found that the SAT I was by far the weakest predictor." The report maintains that the best predictor of college success was not the Big Test, but a student's class rank.
But, fair or not, SATs are still one of the tools many colleges use in today's ruthlessly competitive college admissions process. Before comparing our local schools with this metric, there are several caveats, with which even the College Board agrees. The most important is the nature of the group who takes the SAT—they are almost invariably students who are college-bound. While that includes the majority of high schoolers, it is by no means all of them. That matters when it comes to comparing schools based on SAT scores, since they will reveal nothing about those students who don't take them, obviously, which in some districts can be a significant number.
Something else to keep in mind: students have several strategies for improving their SAT scores, most of which favor those whose parents have pretty deep pockets. Don't think you did well? You can cancel your score within a few days of taking the test, although you won't get your money back. Even if you let the scores ride, you can re-take the test and probably do better—just pay the fees again. The test itself is $45, with additional fees for various types of processing and reporting that can add up to a couple hundred dollars. The College Board says the average student who re-tests increases his or her combined scores by approximately 40 points.

A Supplement to this volume will soon be available. Order now.
Main Volume Information
E-health is rapidly emerging as one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing areas of the health care industry. As the industry becomes more dependent on information technology, health law practitioners are increasingly confronting unfamiliar legal issues. The Second Edition of E-Health, Privacy, and Security Law, with CD-ROM, a reformulation of Bloomberg BNA's E-Health Business and Transactional Law, offers clear guidance on the full range of today's e-health business and transactional law issues and discusses such important topics and trends as:
The Second Edition contains a comprehensive discussion of new HIPAA enforcement actions, including the first State Attorney General enforcement action under the HITECH Act and the first impositions of civil money penalties and jail time for criminal actions under HIPAA. Health law practitioners need this treatise to:
This treatise also is useful for e-health professionals, who will value its indispensable analysis and advice to help them avoid penalties and jail time; maximize the use of technology to increase efficiency, cut costs, and improve marketing; and complete e-health strategic transactions successfully.
The 2013 Supplement updates current e-health trends, as this industry continues to surge to a $40 billion, but not without some growing pains. Technology innovation and government incentives continue to bolster the value of e-health products and services to society at large. Moreover, consumer demand for mobile services are driving growth. However, adoption by health care providers, individuals and insurance companies, particularly with respect to electronic health records (EHR), continues to be hampered by ease of use, privacy and cost concerns.
The 2013 Cumulative Supplement also includes coverage of the following key developments and additional features:

Footie transfers in the EPL
®Copyright MediaCorp
In English football news,
Everton's Phil Jagielka has signed a new contract with the club.
After penning a 2-year extension to his current deal, the Toffees defender is now contracted at Goodison Park until June 2017.
The Toffees signed Jagielka from Sheffield United in July 2007 and the 30 year old has featured in every league game for the club this season.
Tottenham Hotspur have signed defender Zeki Fryers from Belgian club Standard Liege.
England youth full-back Fryers quit Manchester United to join Liege just 6 months ago, but he's been lured back to the EPL by Tottenham's offer.
The 20-year-old will initially link up with Tottenham's development squad as he looks to win a place in boss Andre Villas-Boas's first-team plans.
In English football,
Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole is expected to complete his move to West Ham today, just in time for tomorrow's FA Cup tie with Manchester United at Upton Park.
The 31-year-old is set to rejoin his former club on an 18-month contract.
Cole has struggled to impress at Anfield, following a free transfer move from Chelsea in 2010.
And Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says, this will be a terrific move for Cole.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wants Theo Walcott to sign a longterm deal with the Gunners.
The England striker's contract at the London-based club is expiring at the end of this season.
And Wenger is looking to tie up his current players, before looking for new talent.
Onto cricket action,
South Africa appear to be on their way to a convincing victory, in their 1st Test against New Zealand in Capetown.
The Kiwis were all out for just 45 in their 1st innings.
South Africa batted on at the start of the 2nd day before declaring 347-8.
New Zealand closed the 2nd day on 169-4 , still trailing South Africa's 1st innings total of 133 runs.

Something she'll remember for a long time!
A 2-year-old Florida girl was cruising through the parking lot of her condominium complex in her convertible when she saw blue lights approaching from the rear.
Officers were in the area for a criminal investigation, saw the girl and her family and tried to lighten the situation.
It's unclear if they gave her a ticket for speeding or failing to use her turn signal.
Now the girl keeps telling her mom that she wants to pay for her $4 ticket.
Is there a lesson to be learned here?

Everyone's excited about the new stores coming into Harrisonburg Crossing, but WHSV found out there may be a downside to all these super stores moving in.
Robert Gery has operated Bob's Pet Shop for the last eight years. But he's closing up shop because of the increased competition of Petco.
"The new store came in and that dropped sales," says Gery. "Also the economy was sluggish. And when you get a new store in and it's built fancy and stuff like that, everybody flocks to them."
The Animal House behind the mall is closing its doors for the same reason. Gery says it's difficult for mom and pop stores to compete.
"You get a lot of those superstores in and stuff and it's tough to compete with the buying power that they got," says Gery. "You look at all stores nationwide and then you got mail order also, so you're fighting them too."
And other kinds of businesses like hardware stores have been impacted by the openings as well. Pee Wee Litten says he heard some stores lost 20 to 30 percent of business when Home Depot came to their cities.
"They've hurt us some," says Pee Wee Litten, Manager at Rocking R Hardware. "Anybody that sells a garden hose or a hammer, it took a sale away from some other hardware store in our area and percentage wise says some of that was us. We're fairly happy with what we're doing and holding our own."
Litten says having been in the area for a long time helps.
"We've been in the are for over 50 years so we have a lot of loyal customers, says Litten. "And also we have niches. We have stuff that home depot don't have and they have stuff that we don't have."
Stores we talked to are afraid if all the smaller stores go out of business, prices for those goods will skyrocket.

I would want to know how much The Red Cross brings in (in donations) and if they have any other sources of income that could account for that salary.

Whether or not you actually manage to get out of your bubble of self-righeous self-satisfaction, your reason for not doing so now is pretty weak.
Right now there are still a lot of people in the northeast with serious needs. Maybe some of them have Porsches, maybe those Porsches are even high-and dry right now, but it doesn't really matter if their house is wrecked and they have no place to stay, roads are blocked and flooded. At this moment, it doesn't really matter how much money they have if there is a food shortage because the power is out and semis can't bring in food. And even if the supermarkets are open, and the trucks can make deliveries, those rural families you say you will deign to help, their farms are flooded, so they aren't producing food, which means that those Porsche drivers still don't have anything to buy.
You have no idea how quickly modern civilization retreats in the face of disruptions. If roads are blocked, it doesn't take long for supermarket shelves to go bare, even without hoarding behavior.
But that begs the question, so what? The American Red Cross has an annual budget of something in excess of $3B dollars, 92% of which goes to program expenses. If she is a good CEO, is it outrageous that she makes that kind of salary? She used to be a financial services exec, so you can be sure that she could be making a hell of a lot more money. I guess though that you'd prefer she work for free?
I personally don't think she should. I will tell you what I find outrageous though: People who object to contributing even a small percentage of their income to charity because it bothers them that the people who work at the charity should be working for significantly less than they do.
Look, some charities, just like some companies, are deeply corrupt, but that doesn't mean they all are. Similarly, some are more efficient than others, but face it, any human activity is going to involve inefficiency and waste. Focusing solely on such things is stupid and pointless. One also needs to consider the benefits. I personally think that the American Red Cross delivers a lot of benefits, and right now, there are a lot of Americans who are likely learning that first hand.
First, the underlying premise that all for-profit corporations exist solely to maximize shareholder value is dogma. Like all dogma, it should be questioned, and like most dogma, when it is questioned, it starts looking shaky.
Even if we accept the dogma, we realize that the situation is complicated:
For one thing, generally accepted accounting principles for publicly traded companies try to assign value to "Goodwill," which covers various intangibles like brand value In Apple's case, a recent 10-K statement valued that goodwill at $1B (though one could easily argue that it is worth much more). Charitable activities can increase goodwill, and therefore increase shareholder value.
Further, a the value of a big multinational company like Apple depends greatly on the overall value of the national and world economy. Charitable contributions (particularly to health and education) can help support and expand economic activity, which helps provide shareholder value. Even more narrowly, supporting the Red Cross might help the NE get back to normal faster, insuring that residents of the region are more likely to buy Apple products this holiday season.
I'm, really just scratching the surface here, but I think the complexity of the situation litmus tests for the purity of intentions are a hopeless endeavor, which is fine, because I think for the most part, particularly in times of crisis: the motives are less important than the outcome.
As for the tax code, it is deliberately structured to create incentives for private funding of charitable endeavors, but ultimately, it doesn't concern itself with motives.
Personally, I've made charitable contributions, and taken tax deductions for them for my entire adult life. I don't make the contributions because I get a tax deduction, but if nothing else, the tax deduction means I have more discretionary income that I can put to charitable donations. I also do a bunch of charitable work, and that work incurs expenses for which I could take tax deductions. I don't, because, well, I'm too lazy to document all the expenses, and doing so would take time and energy away from the work itself. My motives for doing the work, I can easily make the case that they are entirely selfish: I get satisfaction from helping the people I help, and I get satisfaction from working with professionals and other volunteers. I've also gained leadership skills and made connections to people that could easily benefit me financially in the future. Of course, its more complicated than that, but does it really matter that I get something out of it? I think it matters more than lots of people get something good out of my efforts, including me.
Applying this perspective to the current topic at hand:
* The Red Cross helps a lot of people in need.
* Apple has made it easy and inexpensive for people to help fund the Red Cross's efforts.
* Apple gains some goodwill (offset by some suspicion) for their efforts.
* The tax situation for contributors isn't entirely clear. It appears that Apple is deliberately disclaiming any responsibility for whether or not a contribution made through iTMS is tax deductible, but the other language they use seems to provide information (that the contributor receives no consideration of value for their contribution) that could be used as a justification for deducting the full amount from one's taxes.
Seems like everyone wins.
