Luis Scola would put them over the top. Gasol would be great, but L.A. would want to much and he would never take the pay cut needed to make it work. Scola on the other hand would see the Spurs as the team to work with. Playing with Manu would be worth more than money and it would help Manus in his final years.
Offseason Outline: San Antonio Spurs
Here's a look at what's in store for the Spurs this offseason after their gut-wrenching loss to the Heat in the NBA Finals.
• What's the biggest priority for San Antonio this offseason?
Working out agreeable, cap-friendly terms with guard Manu Ginobili and walking the line of restricted free agency with center Tiago Splitter. The Spurs aren't a team in need of many dramatic changes, but they're in a position to either bring back the two Finals' under-performers or leverage cap space with their departure. The cap holds on both players are massive enough that they would need to be renounced for the Spurs to do much of anything, but that option is certainly on the table for a team that has just $41.7 million in committed salary*, and potentially less if it opts to release Matt Bonner.
If they decide to get really crazy, the Spurs could take a stab at a solid second- or third-tier free agent, but the return of both Ginobili and Splitter is a bit more likely. The former wouldn't seem to be too difficult to arrange; the Spurs are the only NBA team Ginobili has ever known, and while there's a possibility that the soon-to-be 36-year-old could retire or aim to play elsewhere, he seems awfully likely to come back on a slimmer salary after making $14.1 million this season.
Splitter, 28, is a much different proposition, if only because the Spurs have shown that they're willing to part ways with restricted free agents as opposed to overpaying them. Case in point: George Hill. San Antonio managed to dodge his inevitable pay raise by trading him to the Pacers for the terrific Kawhi Leonard two years ago. When put in that position, most teams would have played the market and matched whatever offer was necessary to avoid a downward slide after a first-round playoff exit. San Antonio instead parted ways with a Gregg Popovich favorite and an emerging contributor, preferring Leonard's potential and rookie-scale salary.
OUTLINES: Bucks | Lakers | Nuggets | Nets | Clippers | Rockets | Celtics | Hawks
Splitter's free agency may not follow the same path, but the Spurs' course with Hill reinforced their greater — and at times, cold — sense of pragmatism. Splitter played a prominent role in San Antonio's improved defense this season and did great work in the pick-and-roll for most of the year. But general manger R.C. Buford undoubtedly has a price threshold in mind, which puts Splitter's fate is in his own hands; if he wants to chase the biggest offer sheet possible, he may well price himself beyond San Antonio's limits. (For reference: Splitter was paid $3.9 million this season.) Restricted free agents typically wind up sticking around with their incumbent teams, but the Spurs drive a hard bargain (even going as far as to haggle on rookie deals) and don't tend to agree to unfavorable contracts. Either way, the decision on Splitter or a possible replacement may well define the Spurs' offseason.
*This figure assumes that both Boris Diaw and Patty Mills pick up their player options for 2013-14, worth a combined $5.8 million.
• How can the Spurs improve this offseason? Through free agency? The draft? Trade?
The Spurs have the ability to find a decent player with the 28th pick, but the addition of another Cory Joseph-caliber rookie isn't going to move the needle much for a team that already had a fair claim to the title this season. The opportunities available on the trade and free-agent markets, though, could allow San Antonio to make more substantial gains.
As far as free agency goes, the key — aside from the aforementioned cap holds on Splitter and Ginobili — is the expiring contract of Stephen Jackson. The Spurs parted ways with Jackson in April, but his $10.1 million contract very nearly pushed San Antonio into luxury-tax territory. With the expiration of his deal**, the Spurs are free to make fuller use of their committed salary, and opt to either pay Ginobili and Splitter or seek rotation alternatives with cap room. The hunt for another big man who can rotate defensively like Splitter might be a bit fruitless, but that's not to say that a Paul Millsap-type wouldn't help San Antonio in a very different way.
OUTLINES: Bulls | Thunder | Warriors | Knicks | Grizzlies | Pacers | Heat
There will also be many trade options for the Spurs, who have the depth to adjust to any number of potential transactions. There's talent on the edges of the roster that could be flipped and replaced, though it would be interesting to see if the market value for San Antonio's role players matches up to their internal worth.
A player like Bonner, for instance, may not be worth $4 million to every team; his defense can be problematic, he relies on the creative ability of his teammates and he has but one high-level offensive skill. He's useful to the Spurs specifically because they can account for his weaknesses and use him in the rotation selectively, but not every team would be able to cover for all that Bonner doesn't do. The same could be said of players like Splitter, Gary Neal, Boris Diaw and even Danny Green, each of whom fits in San Antonio perfectly but could be over-specialized elsewhere.
Then again, the prestige of an impressive Spurs postseason run could also amplify the appeal of those very players. The market is typically kind to supporting types on championship teams, and with no Heat role players to be had the Spurs could provide the next best thing. The market for a player like Green has never been higher, and Diaw may be more coveted now than he will be at any point in the coming season. That isn't reason enough to trade either, but San Antonio's very recent and very public triumphs could make the incoming offers more interesting to the Spurs.
**Just a reminder: San Antonio would still owe Richard Jefferson $11.1 million next season were it not for this bizarre trade. Even if Jackson didn't finish out his term with the Spurs, his absence from their books makes that trade well worth it.
• Can the Spurs return to the Finals in 2014?
Definitely. The rhetoric in the analysis of aging players might make it seem like those veterans could keel over at any moment, but a slow, gradual decline is a far more common fate. We've already seen Ginobili's game trend downward, with his passes and decision-making veering more commonly toward risk than reward. But Duncan is coming off of a steely, throwback performance in which he turned away defenders at the rim and made a steady living from the low block. Someday the dream must end for one of the game's all-time greats, but so long as Duncan is beating back the advances of time, the Spurs should be in position to contend for a title. The challengers run deep in the Western Conference, but Duncan, Popovich and Tony Parker are far too good at their jobs to be buried just yet, while Leonard and Green both offer hope of what's to come in San Antonio.
Teams this good and this balanced don't just fade away, and depending on how the Spurs navigate their offseason, they could well benefit from their Finals-validated continuity and a few low-key additions. Even if they're not the hands-down favorites to win the West, they can run with the Thunder, tussle with the Grizzlies and pick apart the Clippers. Whether they again battle through to the championship round is a matter of specifics (in matchups, in offseason changes, in the West landscape), but today the Spurs stand as unquestionable contenders for the 2014 crown and an undesirable matchup for most every potential opponent.
Salary information courtesy of Sham Sports.
The Spurs should trade the up and coming Kawhi Leonard to a team that has a very high first round draft choice. Leonard is turning into a star and he would command one of top three draft choices. The Spurs are going to have to trade someone to replace Duncan. Maybe the Laker's would trade Pau Gasol, for Leonard. Gasol would fit in with Duncan and provide excellent defense. Leonard could replace an aging shooting forward in World Peace. Leonard would give LA some better offense than World Peace, and his rebounding, and defense would be equal. San Antonio would need to get a lot for Leonard, but Pau Gasol would meet that requirement. So, a trade for a draft choice, or a trade for another player that meets the Spurs needs would fit the San Antonio in a good way.
I think Andre Igoudala would be a great fit for the Spurs and would fill a much needed role on the team. It would give them another player who can create for others/ run the offense and I can oly imagine how formidable Kawhi And Dre would be on the perimeter on D. If the Spurs could somehow bring in Andre and return Manu and Splitter they would be a force. They would have to buyout Bonners contract though and more than likely trade Green for another sharpshooter on a rookie contract or a pick in the draft to free up cap space.
Ginobili was the main reason the Spurs lost. His turnovers and bad judgment were hard to watch. I feel he is done.
You can't expect Green to shoot the way he did the first five games and Manu isn't going to get younger. Not sure how a guy like Millsap helps the most glaring need - another guard who can shoot and handle the ball. Manu and Green became liabilities when they couldn't hold onto the ball.
Do these guys spell check or proof?
Manu Ginobili should be the least of the Spurs' worries after his inconsistent - and turnover prone - Finals performance...
Why would they trade Leonard for an aging star, who would play the wing, why would they trade Leonard for a high pick, his potential is very high, even if he doesn't improve anymore I wouldn't trade him for a top pick, especially in this years draft. The Spurs need another player who can create for others, not another big man, especially for 20million a year, that's old require the Spurs to let Manu and Splitter walk and their chance at a tier 2-3 free agent. So the Spurs would lose Kawhi Leonard, Tiago Splitter, and Manu Ginobili and a tier 2-3 free agent for Pau Gasol, yea right.
@CValley, Iguodala would be the player the Spurs need to get over the hump. They'd also need a mobile big man, perhaps, Earl Clark? But, they still need Manu to return.
Yea, Clark would give the Spurs good energy off the bench if nothing else and I hate how everyone is saying Manu is done, I mean he had his best season ever efficient wise just a year ago, he's not what he once was but I think if he could avoid injury for a full season I think that he could have a bounce back year. I think we were all saying the same thing about Duncan a couple years ago, of couse they're totally different players but I don't think Manu is done, I say he has 1-2 more 12-4-4 seasons in him. I could see Elton Brand being a good fit or even Antawn Jamison.

Maximizing a Small Kitchen
When opera star Renée Fleming downsized from a spacious home to a city apartment, she was determined to keep all the comforts of her former kitchen. A clever small kitchen makeover allowed for a dining area and an efficient work space.
By Elizabeth Roehrig
Create Efficiency
The Homeowner: Renee Fleming
Add a Built-In Pantry
Taking the time to think through your needs when planning a remodel is especially important when you have limited space. "I think of small rooms as spaceships and organize with a great deal of ingenuity, making every component work together," explains Buscarello.
Create a Dining Space
A touch of whimsy: "The mural adds tremendous depth and a sense of fantasy to the room, attributes difficult to introduce in tight New York spaces," says Tenee.
Counters, Sink, and Floor
Granite is still a top choice for countertops due to its durability -- it's easy to clean and can handle hot pots without risk of scorch marks -- as well as its natural beauty. In addition to the color, the edge style influences the overall look. A straight edge looks spare and modern, while a beveled edge, such as the one seen here, creates a softer profile that complements the room's design.
Opt for an Oversized Sink:
For a busy kitchen with limited counter space, a deep sink like this Farmhaus Fireclay model from Whitehaus is essential. Dirty dishes and prep items can be dropped into the sink and kept out of the way. This apron-front style of sink, typically undermounted, contributes to the country look.
Try a Tiled Floor:
Large 12- by 12-inch natural slate tiles from Walter Zanger are set on the diagonal to help "widen" the room. This type of floor must be sealed, but the slate's natural texture lends itself to high traffic areas.
Neutral Cabinets and Copper Tiles
A neutral tone-on-tone color scheme works to unify the space without overwhelming it. Choosing a clear glass for the backsplash makes the surface appear to recede, which fosters the illusion of spaciousness. A combination of pendant and under-cabinet lighting softly illuminates work spaces.
Clear glass tile from Artistic Tile reflects the light, to help open up the space. A mosaic border of smaller copper tiles complements the neutral color scheme. Consider sealing the grout for easier maintenance.
Before ordering cabinets, determine the purpose for each. Most cabinetmakers offer options for roll-outs and deep drawers, as well as specialized add-ins such as spice racks, which can help with organization.
Don't feel compelled to buy standard cabinetry when your kitchen isn't standard. These shallower cabinets (which are more expensive) sacrifice a few inches of storage but make a dining nook possible.

Las Posadas Celebration — Thursday, Dec. 7
St. Edward's University, in collaboration with the Montopolis Community, invites everyone to attend the Sixth Annual Las Posadas Celebration. The candlelight procession concludes with traditional food and drink and entertainment by the St. Edward's University Ballet Folklórico, Mariachi Alas de Oro and Allison Elementary School Choir. The procession will begin at 5:45 p.m. in front of Main Building.
In Mexico, "las posadas" are celebrated on each of the nine days before Christmas to commemorate the journey of Mary and Joseph from Nazareth to Bethlehem, in search of room at the inn (la posada). After dark, a procession is formed, and everyone, including the smallest of children, takes part.
The procession is led by two children carrying a small tray on which there are figures of Mary, riding a donkey, with Joseph and the angel. All those in the procession carry lighted candles and go from house to house singing and asking for lodging while another group inside refuses their request.
When a kind innkeeper is finally found, and the door opened, the group outside is welcomed into the house. Afterwards, according to the Mexican tradition, the children break the piñata and the fiesta continues with typical Mexican food, like tamales, buñuelos and punch.
Schedule of activities:
5:45 p.m. – Gathering for Procession, Main Building Front Steps
6 p.m. – Candlelight Procession, Begins on Front Lawn of Main Building
6:30 p.m. – Reception in Maloney Room, Main Building
6:45 p.m. – Children will break two piñatas, Maloney Room, Main Building
During the reception, enjoy tamales, pan dulce and Mexican hot chocolate. This event is sponsored by the College Assistance Migrant Program, Student Life, Career Planning and Campus Ministry, and is underwritten in part by Velocity Credit Union. For more information, call 448-8625.

The following is an edited press release from the city's Parks Department:
Mayor Thomas M. Menino and Deputy Premier of Nova Scotia the Honourable Frank Corbett are pleased to announce Boston's 71st Annual Official Tree Lighting on Boston Common on Thursday, November 29, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The holiday decorations throughout Boston Common and the Public Garden, including the City of Boston's official Christmas tree from Halifax, a 45-foot white spruce donated by Paul and Jan Hicks of Jordan Bay, Nova Scotia, will light up in sequence shortly before 8 p.m. when Mayor Menino is scheduled to be joined onstage by Deputy Premier Corbett, members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Santa Claus. The show will close with a pyrotechnic display by Pyrospectaculars, Inc.
WCVB TV's Anthony Everett and JC Monahan will host Channel 5's live broadcast of the event beginning at 7 p.m. featuring Elliot Yamin of "American Idol," "The Voice" contestant James Massone, Nova Scotia band Squid, the Floorlords, the Boston Arts Academy, an appearance by the Grinch, and much more.
One of the most acclaimed performers in the show's history, "American Idol" finalist Elliott Yamin auditioned for the 2006 competition in Boston and made it through to the Hollywood rounds. Guest coach Stevie Wonder told Yamin that he should definitely pursue a career in music, while judge Simon Cowell stated that he thought Yamin was "potentially the best male vocalist" in five seasons on "American Idol." Elliott ended up the third place winner behind Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee after one of the tightest races in "American Idol" history.
Wakefield native James Massone performed on season two of NBC's series "The Voice." His performance reached over one million hits on YouTube. James currently splits his time between family in the Boston area, where his parents reside, and Los Angeles.
The Floorlords have been at the forefront of hip-hop culture for more than three decades, helping to define and ultimately expand upon the art of b-boying, more commonly known as breakdancing.
The lighting of the trees on the Common is made possible through the generosity of Carolyn and Peter S. Lynch, a gift from the Egan Family to the City of Boston, the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau, Emerson College, Suffolk University, Mr. and Mrs. James Stone, Colliers International, A.W. Perry, Inc., The Druker Company's Colonnade Hotel and The Heritage on The Garden, and contributions from other individuals and institutions.
The annual holiday display includes the official Christmas tree from Halifax and trees throughout Boston Common with ten additional trees around the Frog Pond skating rink sponsored by The Skating Club of Boston. Refreshments and fun giveaways will be provided by in-kind sponsors Dunkin' Donuts, HP Hood LLC, and Nantucket Nectars.
This is the 41st year that Nova Scotia has given a tree to the people of Boston as thanks for relief efforts following the December 6, 1917, explosion of a munitions ship in Halifax Harbor. Within 24 hours of the disaster a train loaded with supplies and emergency personnel was making its way from Boston to Nova Scotia. In addition this year, Nova Scotia is donating smaller trees to two Boston charities, the Pine Street Inn and Rosie's Place.
"Pine Street Inn is very grateful to our friends in Halifax for their generous donation of this beautiful Christmas tree," said Lyndia Downie, President of Pine Street Inn. "This tree will really help brighten the holidays for our tenants."
This year is the second that 54,000 LED lights will be installed during the holiday season on Boston Common. Six thousand lights will be placed on the Nova Scotia Christmas tree by Sullivan & McLaughlin Companies, Inc., with 48,000 additional LED lights decorating 60 trees visible to the public traveling on Beacon, Park, Tremont, and Charles Streets.
The holiday lighting scheme includes four-color LED lights on three structures on Boston Common: the Visitors Information Center; Parkman Bandstand; and a Parks Department building in the Deer Park maintenance yard. Soft white-colored LED lights will be used on trees at several entrances to the park.
Immediately following the Boston Common tree lighting, Mayor Menino will join Back Bay residents at Arlington Street for the lighting of Commonwealth Avenue Mall. Trees along the Mall will be illuminated through April 1 with elegant white lights made possible thanks to community support and private donations raised by the Committee to Light Commonwealth Avenue Mall.
For more information please call (617) 635-4505, go to www.cityofboston.gov/parks, or visit us on Facebook. For Boston Common parking information go to www.massconvention.com/bcg.html.

The affairs of the College are managed by a self-perpetuating board of directors consisting of no fewer than 24 nor more than 35 members elected annually at the spring meeting of the board.
Members of the board are elected for three-year terms and include the president of the College, the president of the Alumnae Association, and three alumnae class representatives consisting of one representative from each of the three most recent graduating classes. A director (excluding the president of the College, who has no limit on the number of years or terms he or she can serve) cannot serve more than three successive three-year terms on the board. Directors elected as officers can serve up to one additional three-year term, for a total of up to 12 successive years.
The president of the College and the president of the Alumnae Association are ex-officio members of the board. The president of the College and the chairman of the board are ex-officio members of all committees of the board of directors.

Black Gold® Rush Bow Sights
- SkyCoil gathers all available light
- PhotoChromatic shell darkens in extreme bright light to prevent halos and starbursts
- Five pin design with .019" fibers
- Rapid target acquisition
- Super-strong sculpted base
Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TrickyBusinessOutdoors Top Sight This sight was easy to set up. I have had it on my Hoyt for some time now and wouldn't go to anything else. 5 pin set up is great. I added a couple pins for long range target shooting. Black Gold customer service is second to none. I would recommend this sight to everyone! August 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by ayarbrough Great Customer Service I've had this sight for a year now, and it's the best sight I've owned. I've dropped my bow, banged it around, and haven't ever had the pins or the sight move. SkyCoil is a neat feature. The Pins are a little tough to make very small adjustments, but that's what I get for not spending the extra money on the micro adjust model. I over tightened a pin and had it strip out, called Montana Black Gold, told them what I did, received a replacement pin in a week for free. I didn't think that happened these days, but it does at Black Gold. August 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by skrhueu Great Sight-Great Value Well built and super-bright pins. I was able to sight this in at 10PM just using a yard light! I was test driving a Trophy Ridge that actually broke in the field. The bracket cracked and allowed the pin rack to fall off on my way into the stand, never to be seen again! Bought the Black Gold Rush, sighted it in that same night and was back in the stand the following morning. December 29, 2011

Newark >Lodging > Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott
Newark Liberty International Airport, 1 Hotel Road, Newark, NJ | Directions 0711440.692417 -74.181724
Neighborhoods: Newark Airport and Port Newark
Nice, clean room. You have to pay for parking. Right next to the airport.
Great Hotel BUT... – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at referer.us/8/GoodHotelDeals They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
There is a new restaurant called Tony Roma's in Newark airport in terminal A and they have really good food and awesome drinks. We had the Steak Medallions and they were so juicy and tender I am craving me more! The onion loaf is also very good and my bf had the ribs and was raving about them. They also have an array of special drinks and they are almost too good they could be dangerous. I had a platinum romarita, it's a really good margarita and just had to have a second. A little pricey but the drinks are huge so it's well worth it. We had to catch a flight and the bartenders were sure to be quick with our food and drink orders, they were great! Would definately recommend and go back the next time I am at the airport.
The service at Chilli's - Newark Airport was very bad. Waited for an hour to just order the food. The waitresses were ignoring people waiting to order. When the waitress were called, they kept ignoring. It was shocking to see such a bad treatment. I went to one of the waitresses and asked them for the manager and she rudely said "Don't know" and ignored . Finally, the manager walked in and I told him about the waitress and the bad service and left the place. Very dissapointed with the service. Please avoid going there if you would like good service and food.

Pinole >Outback Steakhouse

M-Th 4:30pm-9:30pm, F-Sa 12pm-10pm, Su 12pm-9pm
Australian tchotchkes and brews give this quintessentially American restaurant a distinctive Down Under flavor. – In Short
Boomerangs, Aussie flags, kangaroo portraits and faux aboriginal art honor the homeland's wilderness, but Outback delivers a polished version of rusticity with varnished blond-wood booths with matching wainscoting and casually uniformed waitstaff. Besides more than a half-dozen cuts of steak, diners can pick from large-portioned entrees like ribs, chops and shrimp or chicken "on the barbie." The Bloomin' Onion, a large onion dipped in batter and deep-fried, is an appetizer with a following.
Great service great food most of the time – Recently took my girlfriend and her son there for dinner was seated as soon as we walked in. Service was great no long waiting periods Food was great I would rate higher but the service and food varies every time we have gone in there but this last time I would say was the best.

Avoid dairy-cow transition to disaster
By VICKY CARSON
Think about transition cow management in terms of all the changes going on in a dairy cow's body. Going from a pregnant, nonlactating state to being non-pregnant and lactating — her hormones are changing like crazy.
She goes from ravenous hunger to picky eating. Unless well-managed, she's a recipe for a metabolic meltdown: milk losses, treatment costs, poor reproduction and likely increased cull rates.
The transition period runs from three weeks before calving to three weeks after. During the three weeks before, her intake declines while nutrient demands increase. The most severe drop occurs in the last week before calving, when intake can fall as much as 30%.
Key Points
• Raging hormone changes make dairy cows candidates for metabolic meltdown.
• The biggest culprit is overfeeding energy, not dry-matter intake.
• Corn silage, hay, minerals, vitamins and protein even her intake.
I believe the key to a successful transition is minimizing the drop in dry-matter intake, especially during that last week. And that's a challenge because of extreme hormonal changes — and a growing calf that's displacing her digestive tract.
Overcrowding, inadequate feed-bunk space and poorly formulated and delivered diets can complicate matters. But the biggest culprit in dry cow diets is overfeeding energy.
Avoid this 'metabolic syndrome'
Dry cows that are overfed energy before calving have what's known in human nutrition as "metabolic syndrome." It results from an accumulation of abdominal fat.
Free fatty acids mobilized from the abdominal fat go directly to the liver. Since the liver has limited capacity to export these fatty acids, some of it's stored as triglyceride. Some is completely oxidized to energy. The rest is incompletely oxidized to ketones.
Issues arise when liver triglyceride content reaches 20% by weight. Liver metabolism becomes sluggish, and further uptake of fatty acids results in ketone production — not good.
Compounding matters, that abdominal fat accumulation leads to insulin resistance. Normally, insulin blocks or slows fat mobilization.
But insulin-resistant cows don't respond to the insulin. So the floodgates stay open and the mobilized fatty acids continue to swamp her overworked liver.
Overfeeding energy during the dry period adds to the lipid flow and insulin resistance. To complicate matters more, the increased metabolic rates in the liver signal to the brain to shut down intake.
The solution is ...
Cows fed lower-energy diets (0.55 megacalories per pound) during the dry period don't experience metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance. With a more moderate influx of fatty acids into the liver, the liver able to keep up. And, the lower metabolic rate means there's no chemical message shutting off hunger signals.
Consistent intake also means a full rumen and happy rumen microbes fermenting feed, growing, reproducing, dying and eventually washing to the small intestine, to provide the cow with a high-quality source of amino acids.
So, what should you feed your dry cows? I start with corn silage.
• Generally, mature Holsteins eat around 25 pounds of dry matter in the far-off dry period. So, my dry-cow diets usually contain 18 to 20 pounds of dry matter from corn silage, and 3 to 5 pounds of good-quality (but lower nutrient-density) dry hay. First cutting hay works well.
• The remainder of the diet is a mineral-vitamin mix, plus soybean meal for rumen-degradable protein or a source of rumen-nondegradable protein (distillers grain or heat-treated soybean meal), as a carrier for the mineral-vitamin mix.
• Fermentation enhancers also work very well in these diets.
We have a one-group dry-cow system, so we don't have a close-up dry-cow diet. However, research indicates that cows fed a low-energy, far-off diet can be fed a more nutrient-dense, close-up diet, while still gaining the benefits of the low-energy, high-bulk, far-off diet.
Carson and husband Steve partner in Harkdale Farms of Newbury, Vt. She's also a professor at Vermont Technical College.
EASE BACK ON THE ENERGY: Saving that $7 corn for when cows finish transition helps avoid metabolic syndrome, says Carson, and better converts that energy to milk.

The Hope Affair, the American Kidney Fund's annual national gala, is a celebration of the people who inspire us in the fight against kidney disease. The event brings together the renal community, policymakers, patients and advocates for an inspirational evening that raises funds to support the programs and services of the American Kidney Fund.
The theme of this year's event was "Lighting the Way," and this year's honorees truly are shining lights in their communities:

This is what we expected when Auburn hired Gus Malzahn — a balanced, productive offense. The Tigers rushed for 379 yards, and Nick Marshall ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more.
There was a lost fumble in the first half, but otherwise, Auburn mostly sparkled when it had the ball.
The Tigers scored touchdowns on four of its last five possessions, including three in the fourth quarter.
Johnny Manziel worked over Auburn for 502 yards, but the Tigers managed to slow down his charge at a couple of critical times.
They picked off two of his passes in the first half, including once when it appeared Texas A&M was going in for a score.
Also, Dee Ford turned in two big sacks on the Aggies' final drive. In addition, Jermaine Whitehead broke up what would've been the winning touchdown pass to Mike Evans.
Special teams
As usual, Steven Clark was terrific. On five punts, he and his coverage team allowed only 1 return yard.
Cody Parkey made his only field goal attempt, and five of his eight kickoffs went for touchbacks.
Quan Bray had a 40-yard return of a kickoff.
Malzahn promised a new day when he arrived, but few probably expected it to happen this soon.
Before the season, even the staunchest Auburn defender would've accepted a 6-6 record this year. Through seven games, the Tigers already have six games, and they've pulled out a win at a place where No. 1-ranked Alabama had to fight for its life earlier in the season.
Nick Marshall proved again Malzahn made a solid decision by installing him as the starting quarterback. If you were one of those who said last week Jeremy Johnson's performance might create a quarterback controversy, don't you feel a little silly now?
Auburn still has some holes to fix, but who can argue with the results, especially after the biggest win of the year ... so far?
The Tigers are sky high at the moment, and if they can keep this up, who knows how this year might turn out?
Before the year began, the annual Iron Bowl looked like another invitation to an Alabama blowout. Now, it might end up deciding the SEC West championship.

State program has leveraged $50 million for Maryland's bio industry
BALTIMORE, MD (May 24, 2010) – The Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development today announced that 14 Maryland biotechnology companies received investments in FY 2010 from the state's Biotechnology Investment Incentive Tax Program, which encourages investors to provide seed and early-stage funding to qualified, privately held Maryland biotechnology companies.
Investors, many of whom have benefitted from the program since it was first funded in FY 2007, received a portion of the $6 million in credits that was available this fiscal year. The program, which is being funded in FY 2011 at $8 million, is a key part of the BioMaryland 2020 plan, the 10-year, $1.3 billion strategy for which the Governor was recently honored as BIO Governor of the Year.
"The Biotech Tax Credit program has become one of State's most important tools for giving fledging biotechnology companies the chance to mature and commercialize oftentimes life-saving discoveries," said Governor Martin O'Malley. "Over the past four years, we have invested $24 million in this program, which has leveraged more than $50 million in private investment for Maryland's biotechnology community."
"Through follow-up surveys with the companies who have received investments through this program, we have found that many have been able to create new jobs, increase their revenues and access additional capital to conduct clinical trials and research and development," said Secretary Christian Johansson.
Many of the biotechnology companies that have received investments from the tax credit year after year have been able to leverage the funding to attract venture capital, private investments and federal grants.
For example, Sequella Inc., a clinical stage biopharmaceutical firm based in Rockville, has used the biotech tax credit to raise $5.4 million, which paid for significant toxicology studies required by the FDA and Phase 1 clinical trials for a promising new drug candidate for tuberculosis and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (TB). In addition, the company was able to secure additional equity investments of $7 million, NIH grants worth $6.3 million, and a €12 million grant to pay for Phase 2 clinical studies in Africa later this year.
"The Biotechnology Investor Tax Credit was critical for us and we simply would not be where we are today as a company without it," said Marty Zug, Sequella's CFO. "In an environment where capital is tight and tough to find, the tax credit reduces the investment risk and results in significant company-saving infusions of equity to an industry that is the growth engine of Maryland. In our case, the tax credit gave us the ability to secure funding to continue to develop one of the first new TB drugs in 40 years, reduce the spread of multi-drug resistant TB, and potentially save the 2 million people who die from TB each year."
Baltimore-based Gliknik, which started operations in 2007, has already identified drug candidates for cancer and autoimmune diseases from a newly developed platform that improves upon existing cancer drugs and from synthetic equivalents of IVIG, a $3 billion product derived today from pooled human blood.
"Making new drugs like these is challenging to finance in the current economic environment," said Dr. David Block, founder and CEO of Gliknik. "The Biotech Tax Credit lessens the financial risk for our early investors and provides the necessary lifeline that has allowed us to get to the point where numerous potential corporate collaboration partners are engaged."
Companies receiving investments from the program in FY 2010 include BioMarker Strategies (Baltimore City); Zymetis (Prince George's County); Sequella Inc. (Montgomery County); Gliknik (Baltimore City); FASgen (Baltimore City); 20/20 Gene Systems (Montgomery County); Noxilizer (Montgomery County); MaxCyte (Montgomery County); Blue Torch Medical Technologies (Montgomery County); Arginetix (Baltimore County); Alper Biotech (Montgomery County); Creatv MicroTech (Montgomery County); Rafagen (Montgomery County); and A&G Pharmaceutical (Howard County).
To qualify, companies are required to: be less than 12 years old; have their headquarters in Maryland; employ fewer than 50 people, and have a valid certification from the Department of Business and Economic Development. Investors are required to submit applications prior to making an investment. DBED reviews the applications and issues initial credit certifications within 30 calendar days.

Online Financial Sites Ask Questions to Protect PrivacyCenter for Personal Finance editors
It might take a little longer to log in to your credit union's online banking Web site these days. Before getting frustrated, realize that it's for your safety. The change you're seeing is due to enhanced measures to secure Internet financial transactions.
Starting Jan. 1, 2007, financial institutions must have in place a process called multifactor authentication. This means that, instead of just being able to log in to an online banking site with username and password, you might be required to answer a question or two as well.
The first time you log on to a site using multifactor authentication, you'll be asked to answer questions such as What is your favorite food? What street did you grow up on? What is your favorite teacher's name? Then, the next time you log in to the site you might be required to answer one of those questions.
You also might be asked to enter a security code that you see onscreen or confirm a verification text image. This prevents automated logins by ensuring that a person is at the keyboard.
Web sites will vary as to how often you'll have to answer questions or what methods they use to verify that you're trying to log in.
One of the most popular methods of fraud occurs through impersonating individuals during the login process. All these extra steps confirm that it's really you accessing your accounts--not some impostor who knows just enough about you to be dangerous.

The Associates Survey
Associates used to complain about perks and pay. The current crop of midlevels are simply grateful for their jobs.
They've endured a recession, layoffs, deferments, secondments, salary freezes, and even the loss of their spring bonuses. And yet, midlevel associates at the country's biggest law firms are happier with their jobs than they've been in years, according to our annual associates survey. The rising satisfaction level among midlevels showed up in almost every facet of this year's edition of our annual 85-question survey. Fifty-seven percent of respondents, for instance, described their firms as appropriately staffed, a 7 percent increase from 2011. Seventy-nine percent described their workload as manageable, a 2 percent gain over last year. Ninety-two percent said that if they had the choice to make again, they would again choose to come to their firms, a 2 percent increase from a year ago. Questions about how clearly firms communicate what it takes to make partner, training, and firms' openness about finances showed big year-to-year gains. The bottom line, according to one legal recruiter: "I think that this group of midlevel associates realizes that any gripes they may continue to have have less to do with any recession-related changes and more to do with whether Big Law fits into the lifestyle they want."
Previous Associates Survey coverage :: 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008 | 2007
Their profession may be full of darkness and uncertainty, but midlevel associates at the nation's largest law firms are more content than they've been in years.
Year after year, a handful of firms do well on our associates survey. What's their secret?
A look at which firms on this year's survey rose the highest compared to last yearand which ones fell the furthest.
San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange County take three of the top five spots when viewing midlevel satisfaction survey by market.
In a year when firms made few flashy technological advances, midlevel satisfaction stalls.
A note on how we tabulate the scores and rankings for our annual survey.
