Do you remember the commercial where it shows the owner and their dog and how they almost look alike? This got me to thinking about the type of breed we have and what they say about us. Whether you tend to choose big or little dogs or even certain breeds, each one says something about their owners and their personalities. You might be surprised at what your choice reveals about you!
Even how you make your choice says a lot, purebred or mixed (more easy going and willing to accept imperfections than purebred owners), young or old
whether you buy impulsively (from a pet store) or methodically (doing your research on best breeders, best breed choices, etc.) or with compassion (rescuing) can reveal a great deal about you and your personality.
Heinz 57 owners are unprejudiced, and happy-go-lucky. They enjoy coasting along and riding the wave of life over following strict and rigid plans. They dont sweat the small stuff and keep their eye on the bigger picture. In their spare time, mutt owners are often seen volunteering at or spending time with their diverse group of friends.
Do you let your furbaby have the run of the house? Do you let him/her sleep with you on your bed? Then you are likely to be soft-hearted and think of your pet as a member of the family. If the dog is kept outside or in a kennel, then they are considered a possession and this person may lack empathy.
Do we have preconceived notions to people and their choice of pets? After all, we would expect to see a 250lb biker with a Rottweiler or a glamour girl with a little dog dressed up and tucked under her arm. However, would you expect it to be reversed? Everything we choose, from the dog, breed, food, training and grooming is revealing something about you good or bad.
Here are only some of the many dog breeds and their corresponding character traits, have fun and see if any of these apply to you!
Dachshunds (we have had this breed for 20+ years) are obstinate and fearless (to the point of putting themselves in danger). Owners of dachshunds tend to have tunnel vision, dont give up until they get what they want and are avid gardeners.
People, who own bulldogs dont take life seriously, love to laugh, are well-organized, sentimental and are hopeless romantics.
Terrier owners are like their dogs - energetic, playful, feisty, brave, and competitive. They are extremely talkative with a good sense of humor.
Labs and golden retrievers owners are friendly, good-natured, easy going and carefree, just like the breed itself. These people are social butterflies and make friends easily.
Beagles are inquisitive and loyal. Their owners tend to be open to new experiences, inquisitive, make friends and bring laughter and joy to everyone around them.
Boxers display high amounts of energy as do their owners, who live life to the fullest and are generally happy. Boxer owners are busy, love life, and quickly welcome strangers.
Cocker Spaniels owners are charming and trustworthy and like their pets are sweet, considerate, and kind.
If you are shy around strangers but warm up once you get to know them, then German shepherds should be your choice. German shepherds owners would do anything just like their dogs are protective of those that they love.
Rottweilers command a certain amount of respect and are considered to be a courageous breed. People that have these as pets are confident, dependable and faithful to their friends and loved ones.
People who live with pugs are happy and have a enthusiasm for living and enjoy the finer things like a good day at the spa.
Do you enjoy outdoor sports? Then if you like football, basketball, skiing, snowboarding, you will love a Siberian husky. They are strong willed but lovable and welcome strangers.
If you give 100% to everything you do, are good-hearted, responsible, work hard and enjoy relaxing after a hard day, then a Great Dane is right up your alley.
Pit bulls have been given a bad rap, but they have such a strong desire to please and will do anything for their family and friends, just like their owners. They always look out for the ones they love and make the best baby sitters in the world!
Please always do your research and consult with your veterinarian before taking any home remedies or supplements or following any treatment suggested on this page. Only your health care provide/veterinarian can provide you with advice on what is safe and effective for your unique needs or to diagnose your particular medical issue.

Is there a possibility to do true mirroring between a PC and the remote site?
At first glance, the directory synchronization does not delete obsolete files on the remote site.
This option (mirroring) would be very interested for me and if you have any info on this, I would appreciate it.
Thank you in advance (and apologies for my bad english).

Dog Psychiatrist Evaluates Ebaumsworld
My name is Dr. Robert Baker and I am a licensed dog psychiatrist. I have observed lots of strange canine behavior in the video section of ebaumsworld.com and as a professional I feel it is my duty to voice an opinion on some of the more disturbing videos Ive found here:
1. Dog Has Malfunction
Normally I don't recommend hitting a dog, but in this case I would... not as punishment, but on the off-chance that a wire in its brain gets knocked back into place. If the problem persists please return your Canine Bio Toy to:
Fun! Laboratories
1433 Industrial Ave
Unit C
Springfield, OH
2. Dog Humps Kid Playing Wii
There is nothing wrong with this dog. Dogs are programmed to have sex with anything that bends over and sticks out its butt. Someone should tell this kid to play video games sitting down and not bent over the ottoman like an eager little slut. This kid is so stupid he doesn't even realize that he's being raped; he just gets worked up like its a game or something and makes the dog even hornier.
3. Dog Bites in the Vagina Two Times
This dog bite the beautiful baby labradors penis. When he see other dog he get crazy and jump all over vagina. The owner she cares only for the safety of children, and screams, Run! as she opens the car door. I recommend talk therapy.
4. Sleepwalking Dog
The causes of sleepwalking are largely unknown, but we in the dog psychiatric community often suspect that its stress-related. The owners should consider taking this dog on sleepwalks, and, if that doesn't work, using a sleep leash. If the problem continues, they may have to put the dog to sleep sleep.
5. Skateboarding Dog
Skateboarding, rollerblading and going to video arcades are not uncommon behaviors, but that doesnt mean they're healthy either. If your dog spends all of its time skateboarding instead of studying for obedience school it may have dog ADD and is probably involved in animal delinquency. The best course of action is 10mg of Adderall twice daily.
6. Dog the Bounty Hunter N-word Incident
This dog is a racist and needs to be put down.

Steven Tyler + Taylor Swift = Love?
Does Steven Tyler want to be the subject of the next big Taylor Swift breakup song?
My sources say yes.
Someone recently asked Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler who he'd like to intern for? My question is what kind of question is that? Well, Steven answered that he'd love to intern for Taylor Swift. My guess is that "intern" to us and "intern" to Steven probably mean different things.
Steven actually said "She's blond with all the hits. Taylor Swift. She's hot. More than that she's beyond talented…I have to write a song with her." To which I hear, "Yes. I would tap that and become a smash hit single. We could choreograph the whole thing."
Steven likes them young apparently, because he was seen out recently with Francesca Eastwood, the 19 year old daughter of none other than Dirty Harry himself, Clint Eastwood.
They were probably dating until Clint called Steven up and asked him if he was feeling lucky. Steven probably peed a little, hung up the phone and immediately ended things with Franny E.
Steven is single after breaking up with his 39 year old fiance Erin Brady late last year. She was probably too old for him.
Taylor Swift, by the way is 22.
I say do it. The hits write themselves. Check it out:
Walk Away This Way, We Are Never, Ever Getting Back in the Saddle, You See Me Crying Teardrops on My Guitar, The Story of Rats in the Cellar, I Don't Wanna Go Back to December, and my personal favorite, You Belong in the Attic.

Karlie Kloss' Latest Vogue Editorial, In Ascending Order Of How Uncomfortable It Makes Me
The July issue of Vogue contains an editorial—starring Karlie Kloss—that makes me all kinds of uncomfortable. And I mean that literally. In addition to utilizing some questionable racial tropes, it puts Kloss in several positions that look to be physically uncomfortable as well. Sometimes, it even combines the two! Here's the complete editorial, arranged in ascending order of how uncomfortable it makes me.

Sen. Kent Conrad
A fifth-generation North Dakotan, Kent Conrad was born in Bismarck and attended Roosevelt Elementary and Hughes Junior High. He graduated from the prestigious Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire in 1966. He attended the University of Missouri and Stanford University, where he graduated in 1971 with a bachelor's degree in government. He earned his master's in business administration from George Washington University in 1975.
Conrad has dedicated his life to serving the people of North Dakota, starting with his six years as North Dakota's Tax Commissioner, before his successful 1986 bid for the U.S. Senate. North Dakotans have sent Conrad to the represent them in Washington, D.C., in five successive elections. He became ranking Budget panel member in the U.S. Senate in 2004, and then chairman after the elections of 2006. He has also been a prominent face when it comes to agricultural and energy issues.
Conrad has been a vigorous advocate for farmers, the sugar beet industry, alternative fuels, wind energy, and disaster relief. Among his current priorities are permanent flood control on the Red River and addressing issues associated with the high levels of Devils Lake.
In April 2006, he was selected by Time magazine as one of the "America's 10 Best Senators." That same year, he was praised by The American for his knowledge of economic issues. Conrad also has aligned himself with a bi-partisan "gang" of senators pushing for greater offshore drilling and compromises in the area of budgetary reforms.
Conrad has been an avid supporter of UND and, in particular, the College of Business and Public Administration. He visits the University, serves as a guest lecturer, and can often be seen on campus speaking to students about the political issues of the day. Both his Washington, D.C., and North Dakota offices have provided internships and other learning opportunities.
Conrad has announced that he will retire from the U.S. Senate at the end of his current term. He has established a legacy as one of the most influential political figures in North Dakota history.
Dr. Mary Wakefield
Mary Katherine Wakefield was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2009 to serve as director of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). A division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, HRSA's mission is to improve access to health services. As director, Wakefield oversees more than 10 programs, nearly 2,000 employees and 3,000 grantees with a budget of $7.5 billion.
A native of Devils Lake, Wakefield earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Mary in Bismarck. She completed both her master's degree and Ph.D. in nursing at the University of Texas in Austin.
In 1977 Wakefield began an academic appointment with UND's College of Nursing while simultaneously expanding her clinical experiences in caring for residents in a rural nursing home setting as a registered nurse in the intensive care unit. Throughout her distinguished career as a clinical instructor, Wakefield was a model for UND students in both nursing practice and role development. She demonstrated to them the potential for nurses to impact the health of populations on a larger scale, beyond the individual patient.
Wakefield brought her focus and energy to the national level by serving as a legislative assistant and then chief of staff to Senators Quentin Burdick (1987 to 1992) and Kent Conrad (1993 to 1996). In this time, She established a reputation for her ability to develop collaborative solutions to difficult problems. As co-chair of the Senate Rural Health Caucus Staff Organization, she worked in a bipartisan fashion on a wide variety of rural health policy issues.
Wakefield returned to the academic world to serve as director of the Center for Health Policy, Research and Ethics at George Mason University (Fairfax, Va.) from 1996 to 2001. She then returned to the University of North Dakota to become director of the Center for Rural Health in the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Under her leadership, the Center achieved significant increases in funding and activities to identify rural health issues, analyze health policy, strengthen local capabilities, and develop community-based alternatives to address changes in the rural health care environment.
In 2004, Wakefield became the first North Dakotan to be elected to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Science, one of the highest honors in medicine and health. She served on IOM committees that produced landmark studies of rural health, education in the health care professions, and patient safety and quality of care.
The list of honors and accolades bestowed upon her is extensive. In 2009 - the same year as her appointment from President Obama - Wakefield was named one of the "Top 25 Women in Health Care." She has been described as "the most influential nurse in the United States."
For these and many other accomplishments, Wakefield is receiving an honorary Doctor of Letters degree at today's commencement ceremony. Members of the UND College of Nursing and Department of Social Work who nominated her for the honor wrote, "Dr. Wakefield has publicly paraphrased a statement by President Obama: Expect the unexpected. Ordinary people, when committed, can do extraordinary things.' While many people would think an ice fishing-loving girl born and raised in Devils Lake, North Dakota, is quite ordinary, we know the reality of how extraordinary Dr. Wakefield is. She exemplifies the meaning of President Obama's words, and we are exceedingly fortunate to call her one of our own."
B. John Barry
B. John Barry is recognized for his outstanding accomplishments in the financial services industry and other enterprises, and as a philanthropist and active benefactor on behalf of his alma mater. He began honing his business talents at the age of 12 by selling snack items to construction workers in his native Fargo, N.D. A few years later, he was running his own firm, the Barry Rental Company, leasing television sets to various entities.
Already possessing more entrepreneurial experience than almost all of his peers, Barry enrolled at the University of North Dakota and graduated in 1963 with a bachelor's degree in business administration, majoring in banking and finance. He went on a remarkable career in that industry. Going to work for the American National Bank and Trust in St. Paul, Minn., he rose through the ranks to become executive vice president and chief lending officer in less than a decade. In 1974 Barry started his own banking organization. In the course of 20 years he acquired nearly 30 banks with 940 employees in 88 locations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. In 1998 Barry sold his banking organization to Norwest Bancorp., now Wells Fargo.
Barry has also owned a number of diversified financial services companies, a chemical manufacturing company, and an airline. Today, he is owner of MidAmerica Capital Partners, LLC, a firm providing services for Barry family business interests and family members. With his children Thomas, Michael and Jessica, he is extensively involved with The Barry Foundation, a nonprofit organization proactively focusing on the arts, education, environment, health, social entrepreneurship, and spirituality.
The Barry family and The Barry Foundation have supported the University in numerous ways, including a scholarship fund honoring the memory of student Dru Sjodin. Barry serves as co-chair of the National Campaign Steering Committee, guiding the University's $300 million fundraising drive, North Dakota Spirit: The Campaign for UND. He and the Foundation established the B. John Barry Family Challenge Grant, which has the potential to achieve a $40 million impact for the College of Business and Public Administration. The Barry Foundation created the Philanthropy and Youth (PaY) Program to foster leadership and service among high school students, and it has sponsored catalytic conversations among the area's colleges and universities to promote idea sharing and collaboration among business programs. Among his personal interests, Barry is former Chairman of the Board of the Lupus Foundation of Minnesota and Honorary Board Member.
Dr. Warren Jensen
Dr. Warren Jensen is a professor in the Department of Aviation at the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences. He also serves as the school's director of aeromedical research and as its flight surgeon. He received his bachelor's degree from UND in 1980 and came to work for the University in 1993 as a faculty member in aviation.
In nominating Dr. Jensen, Bruce Smith, dean of the Odegard School, wrote, "Put quite simply, Dr. Jensen is an invaluable asset to the Aerospace College, the University, and the State of North Dakota."
Smith also noted that: "Dr. Jensen is the integral faculty member providing his superior expertise to the Odegard School curriculum allowing us to be recognized national and internationally as the premier collegiate Aviation program."
Jensen received his medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco, in 1982 and did his post-graduate internship at Pacific Presbyterian Hospital in San Francisco in 1983. He earned a master's in aerospace medicine from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, in 1993 and completed the U.S. Air Force flight surgeon course at Brooks Air Force Base in Texas in 1994.
Jensen's research areas include human flight performance, decision-making in emergency settings and oxygen delivery systems. He teaches courses in the Odegard School's aviation and space studies departments in the area of human factors in aviation and aerospace physiology.
As a guest lecturer, Jensen has presented such topics as medical aspects of aviation safety, medical certification issues in the aviation industry, aerospace physiology, human factors in flight simulation design and many others. He is also involved in the continuing education of pilots in an aerospace physiology professional development coursed offered through the UND Aerospace Foundation.
Jensen serves as an academic advisor to 25-30 aviation undergraduate and graduate students. He is the aviation medical advisor to students, flight instructors and faculty for medical certification issues. He has authored and co-authored articles in such publication as the International Journal of Aviation and Psychology, Proceedings of the Military Health Conference and the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
Jensen is the recipient of UND's Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award and the Humanism in Medicine Award from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Other service involvement includes serving as senior aviation medical examiner with air traffic control designation and assistant chair for faculty development in the Department of Aviation. He has also served as the state air surgeon for the North Dakota Air National Guard.
Paul Lindseth, associate dean for academics in aerospace science, wrote that Dr. Jensen's "superior performance as a professor of aviation, adjunct professor of space studies and teacher of second year medical students is very deserving of the Chester Fritz Professor award."
Lindseth continued, "Because of his reputation as a respected educator and researcher, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota sought out the University of North Dakota's Aerospace College to implement an Aerospace Medicine Residency program for newly minted physicians interested in pursuing a Flight Medicine/Flight Surgeon career. Furthermore, Dr. Jensen is a gifted medical care giver, taking time to travel to Central American countries during Spring Break for many years and providing medical care to At-risk children and adults."

Thinking that HP's memristors can't arrive early enough on the market? Here's competition already! A team at North Carolina State University, led by Dr Paul Franzon, has unveiled the "double floating-gate field effect transistor", a component based on the same principles as flash memory which would allow to store data for "a couple of years" in around 15 nanoseconds.

A joint initiative between the American Immigration Council and AILA seeks to change the playing field for immigrants facing deportation.
Learn more about AILA's official statements on immigration issues.Read Now
AILA Doc. No. 11100567 | Dated October 5, 2011
WASHINGTON, DC - The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) looks forward to today's hearing on immigration policy in the House Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement. The hearing, "STEM the Tide: Should America Try to Prevent an Exodus of Foreign Graduates of U.S. Universities with Advanced Science Degrees?" will examine options for reforming U.S. immigration policy to do a better job of retaining foreign students who graduate in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Currently, foreign students must leave the United States upon graduation unless they are eligible for one of the few and limited ways to stay in the U.S. and work legally, such as the optional practical training program.
"Right now it is too hard for foreign graduates of U.S. colleges and universities to get the visas they need to stay here and put their education to use at American companies. They come here to get a first rate education and then have to take their advanced skill set out of the country because of stale immigration laws. It's a lose-lose situation in need of a real solution," said AILA President Eleanor Pelta.
Rather than create barriers to these foreign graduate students, we need to pursue STEM policies such as those that can be found in HR 2161, the Immigration Driving Entrepreneurship in America (IDEA) Act of 2011. Among the important reforms in the IDEA Act is a provision that exempts advanced STEM degree holders from numerical limits in place for employment based green cards.
"Any student with a degree in a STEM field has the potential to be a huge contributor to our economy. If the U.S. intends to continue to be the global leader in technological innovations, as it has always been, it must ensure that the smartest graduates coming out of our educational system are not kept out of our labor market because of short sighted immigration policies," concluded Pelta.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association is the national association of immigration lawyers established to promote justice, advocate for fair and reasonable immigration law and policy, advance the quality of immigration and nationality law and practice, and enhance the professional development of its members.

The envelope landed on the floor with a distinct slap. Postmarked with a 'London Elects' logo, my wodge of election material for this year's Mayoral and Assembly elections had arrived. London has taken the sensible and environmentally sound approach of consolidating candidate mailshots into a single pamphlet. Each of the seven candidates gets two sides to spell out their message and doorsteps throughout the capital are otherwise unsullied with political bumf.
I opened the envelope, letting the hefty leaflet drop out. It fell to the floor open on the page for the British National Party. But this wasn't the bad old British National Party – this was new BNP – a heart shaped union flag logo, a softer san-serif font and fronted by Carlos Cortiglia, a Uruguayan immigrant. Will this image makeover result in a electoral success for the BNP in the capital? They have quite a way to go – in 2008 Richard Barnbrook took 2.84% of the London vote.

This is what not listening looks like
Michigan Republicans say they need to pass a sweeping set of new regulations against abortion – starting with criminalizing most abortions after 20 weeks – to help women. If you watch tape from the House hearing last week, though, you can see that it's really about putting the constitutional right to abortion out of reach.
Bonnie Bucqueroux of Lansing Online News put together the video above from the hearing. She reports that the committee chair gaveled the meeting closed with witnesses against the bill still waiting to testify. At the 3:40 mark, you can watch as one of those witnesses gives her testimony anyway.
WOMAN: I am a voter and I am a mother. At 43 years of age, I became pregnant with quadruplets.
MAN: They've got another meeting coming in, so…
WOMAN: I'll be fast. The chances of a woman delivering healthy quadruplets is minimal. I was forced with the agonizing decision of deciding to selectively reduce or risk all four of my babies. Not a one of you has the right to tell me what decision I should have made. My babies, my body, my decision. Thank you.
The woman almost shouts to be heard, and no one listens.
Bucqueroux says the full Michigan House is expected to vote on the anti-abortion bills tomorrow. That gives you time to read them. They're not light reading, exactly, but they are in plain enough language that you can get what's going on: Michigan House Bill 5711, Michigan House Bill 5712, and Michigan House Bill 5713.(H/t Eclectablog)

No Brainers: None
Kerri Collins, Titans
Collins is coming off a game against the Colts in which he threw for 244 yards and three touchdowns. With favorite wideout Kenny Britt back, Collins presents some real fantasy value to fantasy owners as a situational starter. If you lost Aaron Rodgers this week and are worried about his status for Week 15, Collins is a smart pickup. Tennessee will host the Texans on Sunday. Houston has allowed the most fantasy points to QBs this year. Collins should be good for 225 yards and two scores at a minimum with an upside of 275 and three scores.
Availability: Owned in ~8% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Collins is an excellent matchup-based starter for Week 15.
Alex Smith, 49ers
After spending the last six weeks on the bench, Smith busted out with a 255-yard, 3-TD performance. Be careful not to get too carried away by the numbers, which came against a porous Seahawks defense. However, Smith has the talent and the supporting cast to make some noise over the last few weeks of the season. If you've made it this far with a platoon approach at the QB position, Smith might be worth a look. San Diego is up next. While that's not an ideal matchup, beggars can't be choosers in deep leagues.
Availability: Owned in ~19% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Smith is worth a look in deeper leagues.
Donovan McNabb, Redskins
Playing McNabb isn't a move for the faint of heart. In fact, the only situation in which I might give him a look is if you're playing in a toilet bowl or consolation bracket. McNabb has only thrown multiple touchdown passes twice this season. That said, he faces a choice matchup this week against the Cowboys. Dallas has allowed the second most fantasy points to QBs this season. McNabb is a lock for one touchdown and has a decent chance of putting up two.
Availability: Owned in ~71% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: McNabb is worth a situational start if you don't have much to lose.
No Brainers: Felix Jones, Ryan Mathews, Ryan Torain, Mike Tolbert and Jonathan Stewart
Tim Hightower, Cardinals
Hightower fell out of favor with fantasy owners for a stretch this season when he began losing touches to Beanie Wells and was ineffective with the limited work he was getting. But he's back from the dead now and is once again a relevant part of the RB discussion. Hightower lit up the Broncos on Sunday, amassing 148 yards rushing with two scores. Another savory matchup against the Panthers is on tap next. Hightower is a slick pickup and play option given that Carolina has allowed the last three starting running backs that faced them to put up three TDs each.
Availability: Owned in ~71% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: If Hightower is available, grab him and start him.
Javarris James, Colts
For a guy who's scored six touchdowns in his last six games, James isn't getting anywhere near the respect he deserves. The Colts RB had been out-producing Donald Brown at the goal line and now he's getting more looks all over the field. A juicy matchup this week against the Jaguars makes James a ripe candidate for plug-and-play duty. Jacksonville has allowed the eleventh most fantasy points to RBs this season and they ceded two RB scores to the Colts the last time the clubs met.
Availability: Owned in ~23% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: James is starter material this week if Joseph Addai remains out.
Rashad Jennings, Jaguars
Despite receiving a limited number of touches, Jennings continues to produce week in and week out. He has scored in three straight games and is coming off a career performance in which he tallied 109 yards and a touchdown versus the Raiders. With the sieve-like Colts defense up next, Jennings is a realistic option as a RB2 in deep leagues or a flex play. Indianapolis has allowed the seventh most fantasy points to RBs. If you're really feeling frisky, it's possible to play both Maurice Jones-Drew and Jennings in the same fantasy lineup.
Availability: Owned in ~7% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Jennings could come in handy against a weak Colts defense this week.
Maurice Morris, Lions
Morris hasn't exactly been lighting it up since he took over the feature-back role from Jahvid Best (toe) a few games ago. However, a matchup this week against the Bucs may be too good to pass up. Tampa got absolutely carved up by Ryan Torain on Sunday. Torain ended the contest with 180+ yards. If you've made it this far, you probably don't need a plug-in option at the RB position. But if for some reason you do, Morris could suffice.
Availability: Owned in ~22% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Morris has a favorable matchup that's worth exploiting in deep leagues.
Darren Sproles, Chargers
If you're not in a PPR league, you might as well skip ahead; Sproles probably isn't a good fit for you. On the other hand, if you are in a PPR league, Sproles offers some value. He notched 104 all-purpose yards Sunday against the Chiefs. Much of that production came on five receptions. San Diego faces the 49ers on Sunday, which sets up nicely for Sproles. San Francisco is one of just four NFL teams that allow 6+ receptions to RBs per game. Consider rolling with him but only if you're desperate for some PPR love.
Availability: Owned in ~46% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Sproles is worth a gamble in PPR leagues.
Ricky Williams, Dolphins
Williams has proven to be a useful fantasy option against inferior run defenses. In recent weeks, he produced against the Raiders and Bengals. You have to like his chances in Week 15 against the Bills. Buffalo has allowed the fourth most fantasy points to RBs. If someone in your league gave up on Williams, grab him. He figures to get 12-15 touches and should find some running room.
Availability: Owned in ~71% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Williams is a viable fantasy option against the Bills.
Michael Bush, Raiders
Week 14 was the Darren McFadden show. Run DMC posted a massive stat line that included over 200 total yards and three scores. Because McFadden was so effective, Bush didn't get much work (only five carries). Despite the limited workload, Bush remains an option in deep leagues based on a favorable matchup this week against the punchless Broncos. He's scored in two straight games versus Denver.
Availability: Owned in ~70% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Bush is a boom-or-bust option in TD-heavy leagues.
No Brainers: Pierre Garcon, Deion Branch, Kenny Britt, Santana Moss and Lance Moore
Derrick Mason, Ravens
Identified as a plug-and-play opportunity last week, Mason came through in a big way with two scores on Monday Night Football. He now has five touchdowns in his last six games. The Forecast has no idea why he's still available in over 30% of leagues. If he's lurking on your waiver wire, please pick him up so I can stop recommending him.
Availability: Owned in ~67% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Mason really ought to be owned in all leagues.
Arrelious Benn, Buccaneers
While teammate Mike Williams gets all the headlines, Arrelious Benn is a good-looking rookie in his own right. Benn first popped up on the radar in November when he scored in two straight games. On Sunday, he sliced up weak Redskins defense, posting 122 yards on just four receptions. Benn obviously has big-play potential. With a matchup against the Lions up next, Benn is certainly worth more than a cursory look.
Availability: Owned in ~3% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Benn faces two favorable matchups to close the fantasy season and is worth adding in all leagues.
Brandon Gibson, Rams
Gibson has been flirting with fantasy relevance over the last month and a half. He's been consistently chipping in a handful of receptions each week. On Sunday, against a tough Saints defense, he put up 67 yards on four receptions and added 13 rushing yards. On a down week for fantasy wideouts, it was a Top 20 receiving performance. Gibson is worth adding in advance of Week 15 when he goes up against a KC secondary that started the season strong but has shown vulnerability of late.
Availability: Owned in ~6% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Gibson is a servicable WR3 in deep leagues.
Louis Murphy, Raiders
Murphy was a hot pickup at the beginning of the year but a midseason injury drained his value. He's back now. He's healthy. And he's again looking like Jason Campbell's favorite target. Campbell threw his way 11 times and the duo hooked up for six receptions, 59 yards and a touchdown. Murphy is worth adding and could serve as a WR3 if you're in a pinch. Oakland faces a Denver defense that is reasonably tough against wideouts. Murphy would face a tough challenge if he draws coverage from Champ Bailey.
Availability: Owned in ~16% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Murphy has proven to be useful before and is worth another look.
Earl Bennett, Bears
Bennett, who was touted here last week, posted 53 yards in Sunday's blowout loss to the Patriots. All things considered, that's not too shabby considering the blizzard conditions and a terrible performance by Jay Cutler. The Forecast believes Bennett is a viable WR3 for fantasy. That won't change this week against the Vikings. Minnesota is decent against the pass but they're certainly not great. Don't be afraid to deploy Bennett.
Availability: Owned in ~34% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Bennett is worth adding in all leagues.
David Nelson, Bills
Bills starting wideout Lee Evans suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Browns. David Nelson stands to see an increase in targets as the season comes to a close. As it is, Nelson has scored in two straight games. Adding Nelson isn't a bad idea considering Ryan Fitzpatrick has shown an affinity for looking his way in the redzone. Buffalo faces a Dolphins defense that has been good against opposing WRs. However, Nelson could be used if you're in a pickle.
Availability: Owned in ~0% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Nelson is worth a flier in deep leagues.
Ruvell Martin, Seahawks
Seattle's WR corps is decimated. Deon Butler, Brandon Stokley, Mike Williams and Ben Obomanu are all hurt. As a result, Ruvell Martin saw significant action in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. He led the team with 73 yards and a touchdown. While Butler is done for the year with a broken leg, Williams and Obomanu will return. If either one of them plays this week, they're both better free agent pickups than Martin. However, if they both sit, Martin is a sneaky good pickup. The team will face a Falcons defense that has an average-to-below-average pass defense.
Availability: Owned in ~0% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Keep your eye on Martin, Obomanu and Williams if you're desperate for WR help.
No Brainers: Vernon Davis and Marcedes Lewis
Owen Daniels, Texans
After spending weeks on the sideline with a hamstring injury, Daniels returned in Week 15 and looked every bit like the elite fantasy TE he was in 2009. Matt Schaub looked to Daniels early and often on Monday night. While Daniels had too many drops, he ended the night with an excellent stat line, racking up 91 yards on five receptions. He's an excellent pickup in advance of this week's game against the Titans.
Availability: Owned in ~27% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: On an unimpressive week for fantasy free agents overall, Daniels might be the cream of the crop.
Zach Miller, Raiders
Miller is finally healthy after dealing with a foot injury since midseason. He caught four passes for 68 yards Sunday against the Jaguars. If your TE position is watered down, consider upgrading to Miller. He should fare well this week against a Broncos defense that has allowed the fifth most fantasy points to TEs this season. Miller had a solid performance when Oakland met Denver earlier this year, posting 65 yards and a touchdown.
Availability: Owned in ~71% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Miller is a useful option in all TE madatory leagues.
Kellen Winslow, Buccaneers
Winslow has scored in two of the last three games. In Sunday's win over the Redskins, he caught a 41-yard touchdown on a seam route. The play rekindled memories of the Winslow from two or three years ago and proved that despite his chronic knee issues, Winslow still has it. Tampa has a matchup this week against the Lions. Detroit has been tough on opposing TEs but weak overall against the pass. Don't gunshy about using Winslow if you need a boost.
Availability: Owned in ~70% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Winslow is a passable starting TE for Week 15.
Bo Scaife, Titans
Scaife is a classic fantasy tease, flashing big-time potential one week then going AWOL for a month. He scored twice against the Colts in Week 14. Normally, the Forecast wouldn't advise trusting Scaife, but there's no disputing he's worth a look this week against the Texans. Houston has allowed the most fantasy points to TEs this season. Consider exploiting the favorable matchup and rolling the dice with Scaife.
Availability: Owned in ~10% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Scaife is worth the risk this week in deep leagues.
No Brainers: David Akers, Adam Vinatieri and Nate Kaeding
Shayne Graham, Patriots
The weather outside was frightful but Graham's performance was delightful for fantasy owners who trusted the New England kicker. He booted three field goals and three extra points in a blowout win over the Bears. If Graham can produce on the road against a tough defense in terrible weather, I'd say he's matchup proof. Play him with confidence in Week 15 against Green Bay.
Availability: Owned in ~26% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Graham should be owned in all leagues.
Jay Feely, Cardinals
Feely had a fantasy performance for the ages in Sunday's win over the Broncos. He booted five field goals, four extra points and scored a touchdown. Too bad he wasn't used in hardly any fantasy leagues. Don't automatically consider Feely's performance to be a flash in the pan. Arizona's offense showed some pluck and they draw another favorable matchup this week against the Panthers. Carolina has allowed the fourth most fantasy points to kickers in 2010.
Availability: Owned in ~20% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Feely is worth acquring and activating against the Panthers.
No Brainers: New England Patriots
Oakland Raiders
Remember when Denver's offense was good? That was then. This is now. In Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, Denver turned the ball over six times and allowed a defensive touchdown. If Denver's late-season collapse continues, Oakland could benefit much in the same way that the Cardinals did. The Raiders have quietly been a solid DST. In fact, they're tied for second in the NFL with 38 sacks.
Availability: Owned in ~63% of leagues.
Forecast guidance: Trust the Silver and Black this week against the reeling Broncos.

Manchester City right-back Pablo Zabaleta expects to overcome a foot injury to feature in next weekend's FA Cup fourth-round trip to Stoke.
The Argentinian gave manager Roberto Mancini a scare when he limped off after 64 minutes in City's Barclays Premier League win over Fulham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The 28-year-old had collided with defender Brede Hangeland moments earlier and was unable to run off the knock.
City's other senior right-backs Micah Richards and Maicon are currently both out with knee problems and Zabaleta told the club's website, www.mcfc.co.uk: "I took a kick on the top of my foot which caused me a lot of pain afterwards and that's the reason it was better that I came off."

A great find, I think. Part of our military history. The sign is signed by a Major Andrea Mullen, D.V.M. while she was in Kosovo in 2006. The person I bought this from said the other languages are Russian and Italian. They're actually Albanian and Croatian. I'm assuming this came from Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo. I have found a vet with the same name in California and sent an email to see if this was her. No response yet. I'm kind of tempted to remove what she wrote on the sign, but the writing dates it and places it. This is a metal sign that looks like the lettering and image were sublimated (high heat press) on to it. Measures 18" by 24".

The Mary Black Foundation recently awarded more than $947,000 to seven Spartanburg County nonprofits. The grants will be used for various needs.
Mary Black Foundation recently awarded more than $947,000 to seven Spartanburg County nonprofits. The grants will be used for various needs from a walking trail and park for seniors and the disabled, to helping parents find quality childcare, to building a community playground on the Northside.
"All of these projects are fantastic and will move our community forward," said Molly Talbot-Metz, director of programs with the Foundation.
Parents can be overwhelmed searching for quality childcare. Some don't know what questions to ask potential providers or what constitutes quality care.
A local organization aims to change that. A $530,000 grant over three years was awarded to Spartanburg County First Steps' program, Quality Counts, which is a quality rating and improvement system that childcare providers voluntarily participate in.
According to its website, the "system is a tool to assess, improve, and communicate the level of quality in child care programs."
Quality Counts Director Barbara Manoski said it's the first quality improvement rating system in the state.
Children in high quality early learning environments are better prepared to learn when they enter school.
Manoski said Quality Counts collects information from providers and does an "environment rating scale assessment" that assesses five indicators of quality, including learning environment, staff qualifications, program administration, teacher to child ratio and parent engagement. The assessment is used to generate a star rating – one to five stars – and develop a quality improvement plan.
Quality Counts' pilot program ends June 30. Manoski said providers who participated in the program will receive a rating. She anticipates that parents will soon be able to visit http://spartanburgqualitycounts.org/ to view participating facilities. Those who did participate will decide this summer if they want the public to view their rating.
"Centers who are working hard to build quality want parents to know what's going on inside of their center, so I think they're anxious for us to do some parent education, which we are doing," Manoski said.
Parent education includes a campaign that will soon launch. The objective is to educate parents on how to find quality childcare. Manoski said posters will be hung in doctor's offices and parents can go to Quality Counts' website to print a checklist to use when visiting childcare centers.
Edna Smith owns Miss Eddie's Child Development Center in Spartanburg. She was among the first 10 childcare providers to participate in the program. Smith said she wanted her teachers to know what's expected of them in terms of quality and said Quality Counts offered to help them financially with classroom materials and also provided training to teachers.
"Our job is to get them ready for life," Smith said.
Smith taught preschool five years and opened her center 28 years ago. Much has changed over the years. Smith said she started out with 25 children in a classroom and now has 10 children in classes for children ages 4 and 5. She said they have a parent advisory board and children learn more about choices.
Smith said it's made a big difference in students. She thinks they are better prepared for school.
"These children belong to all of Spartanburg County. When our children succeed, the community succeeds," Manoski said.
Teen moms were improving their lives when funding for a program that helped so many was cut.
The Middle Tyger Community Center has served adolescent parents for many years.
The center received a federal grant seven years ago that enabled the expansion and fine tuning of its Adolescent Family Life Program.
Tina Gaudiano directs the program. She said 140 adolescent mothers participated. About 90 percent remained in school or graduated, versus the 40 percent state average. Only two percent got pregnant again, compared to the 29 percent average for Spartanburg County.
Gaudiano said these were "amazing outcomes." The center had long provided childcare to teenaged girls in School District 5. It continued offering childcare, as well as weekly parenting classes, case management and home visits. The program expanded to School District 2. The only difference was students in one district had childcare education, but Gaudiano said they found no large statistical difference in outcomes between girls in either district.
But the funding source for the program - the Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs - was eliminated and with it went $268,000 in annual funding. The MTCC had already submitted a proposal to begin in 2012 that would have included three more Spartanburg County high schools.
Gaudiano said they scaled back and scrambled to find other funding sources, which is where the Mary Black Foundation stepped in.
The foundation will provide $265,000 over three years to serve pregnant and parenting adolescents and their families in School Districts 2 and Five.
Gaudiano said the grant will replace federal funding they lost.
There was a potential increase of $28 million in career income ability for teen parents who graduated high school with help from the program, Gaudiano said.
Even if one is not directly impacted by teen pregnancy, the larger community feels its effects.
MTCC Executive Director Wanda Fowler said the children of adolescent mothers are more likely to become pregnant, creating a generational cycle that relies on taxpayers' assistance.
"The boys of adolescent mothers are more likely to be incarcerated. We all know that prison is a huge burden on the taxpayer," Fowler said.
Teen mothers without childcare oftentimes don't work and are "propelled into a life of poverty.
"A life of poverty means bitterness and anger, often times, violence. It means depending upon the taxpayer for assistance and it can mean crime," Fowler said.
Fowler has a friend who lives in a nice neighborhood in Columbia that was broken into and some people were hurt. Teen pregnancy, she said, has a ripple effect. Staff at the Middle Tyger Community Center want to create a "positive ripple effect" rather than a negative ripple effect on the community, she said.
Take a ride through Spartanburg's Northside community after schools let out.
The Rev. Walter Belton, pastor of St. Paul's Missionary Baptist Church, says you will notice something missing.
"The kids don't have anywhere to play," he said. "Many of them have basketball goals, but they have to move out of the way when a car comes through."
Many kids in the neighborhood don't have transportation to community centers in the area, he adds. And Cleveland Park no longer provides children with the recreational activities it did prior to the tragic train wreck there in 2011.
"We don't want to be an invisible church," said Belton, who has been with the church on Howard Gap Road for nine years. "We want to give something back to the community."
Their mission can be read in the sign out front: "Reaching them and Changing them."
Last year, Belton and church members, headed by Roxanne Bradley, decided to build a community park on the property.
They had plenty of land, but needed $65,000 to make the dream come true.
St. Paul's Missionary Baptist Church raised $10,000.
Bradley secured a $20,000 grant from KaBOOM!, which is a national nonprofit that envisions a place to play within walking distance of every child in America.
The Mary Black Foundation matched KaBOOM's $20,000 grant.
"Other than playgrounds on the campus of Cleveland Academy of Leadership and Victoria Gardens, there are no playgrounds in the Northside," said Molly Talbot-Metz, director of programs with the Foundation. "Neighborhood parks are a great way to bring the community together, while encouraging children and adults to be physically active."
The church plans to "hit the pavement" and raise an additional $15,000 needed. They hope construction on the community park begins by the end of the month.
Upon completion, it will have a playground for children, gazebos, horseshoe pits, picnic and grilling areas.
"I think the playground will serve several different purposes," Belton said. "Of course it's about a child playing and having fun. But it's also about keeping the children active, and it's an opportunity where families can come and spend time together, I just believe the family is still the nucleus of this community."
Belton said the fact that the church raised the funds so quickly is a matter of grace.
"Whenever God gives a vision, he will always provide," he said.
According to College Hub, 80 percent of Spartanburg County adults lack a bachelor's degree. The organization's mission is to increase the number of residents with baccalaureate degrees and thereby improve quality of life in the community.
Ida Thompson is program manager of early childhood initiatives at College Hub. Thompson said the organization realizes that to increase the number of college graduates, efforts must start long before students reach high school.
The College Hub has expanded its focus to young children and received $15,000 to provide free developmental screenings to Spartanburg County children ages 5 and under.
Thompson said the screenings will be available to all regardless of income.
"Developmental delays do not discriminate," she said. A questionnaire to gauge development should be on the College Hub's website this summer.
Thompson thinks screenings will help identify if children are typically developing, as well as those who may need assistance to prepare for school and children who might need intervention and referrals for additional screenings.
"We think the long-term effect of this is that more children will be able to learn when they enter the kindergarten door," Thompson said.
She said only 20 percent of developmental delays that impact school readiness are caught before children enter school.
The grant also will be used to provide books to parents that educate them on early childhood development and its importance. Thompson said the College Hub wants to make the book available to all parents of Spartanburg County children ages 4 and under.
"If we want to see Spartanburg thrive, we've got to have educated citizenry, people with jobs, people who pay taxes and people who want to stay here," Thompson said. "Everybody should be concerned."
Last year, over 8,500 children in Spartanburg and Union counties received free books in the mail through Imagination Library.
Dolly Parton is the one to thank. The country music legend started Imagination Library in 1998. It is a literacy program that helps prepare children under the age of five for success in school by increasing their access to books.
The United Way of the Piedmont began locally sponsoring the program in Spartanburg and Union counties in 2001.
As local sponsors, they must raise $30 per child a year to support postage costs.
"Annually, that's about $225,000 that we have to generate," said Chris Steed, CEO and president of United Way of the Piedmont. "And it keeps growing each year," as more children get involved.
The Mary Black Foundation awarded the United Way of the Piedmont a $45,000 grant over three years to aid them with the program.
"We know that children who have access to books in their home are more likely to develop an early love of reading," Metz said. "And we know that children who can read well by third grade are more likely to succeed in school."
Parents interested in their child receiving free books through Imagination Library can register online at www.imaginationlibrary.org. Children must be younger than five to participate.
"Our goal is for everyone who is eligible in Spartanburg and Union counties to receive books," Steed said. "Right now, only about 40 percent of the eligible population is involved."
Trails and parks are as plentiful in Spartanburg County as gyms and wellness centers.
But what about a network of trails and a park specifically for seniors or those who use wheelchairs?
"They don't get access to some of the same exercise opportunities," said Dr. Gerald Bernard, executive director of the Charles Lea Center, a nonprofit that serves developmentally disabled adults.
There was an open piece of land adjacent to the facility, and Charles Lea employees, like Bernard, decided it wasn't doing anybody any good sitting empty.
They decided to construct a park with a network of trails, shade trees, gazebo, and seven covered stations consisting of waterproof exercise equipment designed for the elderly and disabled on the property.
The Mary Black Foundation provided $50,000 to make it happen. Bernard said the money should be enough to fund the entire effort. He expects construction to begin in the next few months and the project to be finished by spring.
"We want to provide an opportunity for them to be outdoors, but also to be active," Bernard said, on a recent visit to the grassy, flat piece of property.
Charles Lea Foundation President Cyndi Beacham said the Charles Lea Center provides resources for basic care, including residential services for more than 300 people, meals, day programs and employment opportunities.
"But the extra things, like building a park, really makes the quality of life for the people that we serve better," Beacham said.
The park, which is a part of the Charles Lea Foundation's new initiative to focus more attention on health and wellness, will utilize exercise equipment from a Pennsylvania-based company called LifeTrail. It's the same equipment that an organization in York County recently implemented.
"They've seen great results and they use it every day," Beacham said. "So we know it works and we are really excited. My dream is that the park becomes a hangout for our people,"
But the park, Beacham says, will be open to whoever wants to use it.
"It's not only for the 175 people who come here every day for day programs, but people who live in the community can come in. We have no plans to fence it off or make it inaccessible."
Conversations between parents and children about sexual development can be awkward.
"Parents often want to have those conversations but don't know how to," Dana Becker said.
Becker is the Spartanburg Community Specialist with the South Carolina Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, which received a $22,250 grant to increase parent-child communication in Spartanburg.
Becker said they had a pilot test of a program that appears to have promise.
With the grant money they plan to make a CD series available to parents of children entering teen years. The series features scenarios involving different families. Only one scenario deals with sex, Becker said, and the series helps parents learn how to have those "awkward conversations."
Becker said they want to make the CDs available online. If they are unable to get permission from developers, the next step is to make copies available at locations throughout the county, including community centers and libraries.
Last October, Becker said they asked people to hold informal gatherings of 8 to 10 friends. Groups were provided materials to help guide conversations and there was a packet of resources for parents covering topic areas. Becker said the organization's goal was to have 10 groups meet, but there ended up being 21 groups. The response, she said, was overwhelming.
Becker said they want parents to take advantage of "teachable moments" when it comes to educating their children about sex and puberty.
Becker said even though they receive federal money, primarily through the Centers for Disease Control, they rely on local support to fund areas not covered by government funding. Becker expressed appreciation for the Mary Black Foundation's ongoing support. She said that support was instrumental in acquiring federal grants.

This is a sponsored post for Dove® Promises®. I received product and compensation to help facilitate my post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
As part of the Dove® Chocolate Tastemaker program I was asked to create three original recipes using the Dove® Promises® Silky Smooth Chocolate Collection that includes Dark Chocolate Mint Swirl, Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate.
I loved working with these particular chocolates! Smooth and creamy is my favorite type of chocolate to eat and bake with. These are easy to work with, have great flavor and melt like a dream.
They live up to their silky smooth name.
The "promise" part of the equation comes from the wrapper. Inside each one is a written 'promise'. During my recipe development I opened and read hundreds of them. It was half the fun. I take that back. It was a quarter of the fun. Baking with them was another quarter and the remaining half goes to all the delectable desserts I ate! All for the sake of taste testing, of course. My family thanks you. I thank-you.
First up, Dark Chocolate Chip Mint Cookies that you can also make into cookie cups with a Dove® Promise® pressed into the top. The cookies are bursting with Dove Promises Dark Chocolate Mint Swirl in every bite.
They're crisp and chewy around the edges with super soft, melt-in-your-mouth centers and a sweet mint flavor that is hard to forget.
Next is a no-churn Grasshopper Pie Ice Cream. The easiest ice cream you will ever make – no ice cream maker needed! The base is made of whipped heavy cream folded into sweetened condensed milk packed with chopped Dove® Promises® Dark Chocolate Mint Swirl and bite-size pieces of chocolate graham cracker crust.
Sweet and creamy, every bite is packed with the refreshing flavor of mint with dark chocolate and soft bites of graham cracker crust.
Last but not least are these Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bars. Chopped Dove® Promises® Dark Chocolates are folded into a dark chocolate brownie layer then topped with a layer of peanut butter cream cheese followed by a dark chocolate ganache sprinkled with even more chopped chocolate.
Completely dreamy, rich and extra chocolaty, a small square will go far in satisfying anyone's sweet tooth.
- In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugars on medium speed 2 minutes. Add the eggs, vanilla and peppermint, beat on low until combined.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. Add half to the mixer bowl and beat on low until incorporated. Scrape down sides of the bowl. Add the remaining half and beat on low speed until incorporated.
- Mix in the chopped chocolates by hand.
- Refrigerate dough 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or silicone liners. Scoop up rounded tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Place on cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake 12 minutes. After removing from oven sprinkle the tops with more chopped chocolate and allow to cool on pan 10 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- Store tightly covered in a cool, dry place up to 1 week.
- *You will need an extra bag of Dove Chocolates unwrapped - you can use the Dark Chocolate Mint Swirl, Dark Chocolate or Milk Chocolate Silky Smooth flavor.
- Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners. Scoop up heaping teaspoons of dough and roll into balls. Place in liners and bake 12 minutes. Remove from oven and press unwrapped Dove chocolates gently into the top of each one. Cool in pan 10 minutes then remove to wire racks and cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl mix the graham cracker crumbs and sugar together. Pour in the butter and use a fork to work the butter into the crumbs. Line a baking sheet with parchment and press the crumbs into a 10-inch circle (it doesn't have to be perfect). Bake 10 minutes. Cool to luke warm then place in the freezer 1 hour.
- Break the frozen crust up into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the milk to a large mixing bowl and stir in the extracts and food coloring, if using. Beat the whip cream into stiff peaks and fold into the condensed milk.
- Stir in the pieces of crust and the chopped chocolate. Pour into a loaf pan, cover tightly and freeze 6 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment or grease well with butter.
- In a small saucepan melt butter and chocolate over low heat stirring constantly until chocolate is completely melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool to warm.
- Meanwhile in a large bowl or stand mixer beat sugar, vanilla and eggs together on medium speed 6 minutes.
- Add the chocolate mixture and beat on low speed 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of the bowl.
- Add flour and beat on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in the chopped chocolate.
- Pour into pan and spread out evenly.
- Beat the cream cheese and peanut butter together on medium speed 2 minutes. Beat in sugar on medium speed 2 more minutes.
- Add vanilla and egg, beat on low until well combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture over the brownie layer. Use a butter knife to swirl it into the brownie.
- Bake 40 - 45 minutes until brownies start to pull away from the sides of the pan and the center is set. Cool on wire rack 2 - 3 hours.
- Add the chocolate to a small, heat-proof bowl. Heat the heavy cream and butter together until butter is melted and cream just starts to boil.
- Pour over the chocolate and cover the bowl with a small dish or lid. Let sit 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes whisk the mixture until it comes together and is smooth and creamy. Allow to cool to lukewarm.
- Pour over top of the bars and spread out gently in an even layer. Sprinkle the chopped chocolate over top.
- Refrigerate 4 hours or over night. Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment to a cutting board and slice into squares with a large chef's knife dipped in hot water. Wipe clean after each cut.
- Refrigerate leftovers up to 5 days.

Gianciotto découvre Paolo et Francesca: Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, 1819
She moves in next door, we huddle over
The doomed infatuated ones in Dante,
My blood over-heats, the world-wind blows,
She looks pale as Millamant the Sunday
We dine, and our fate is sealed; like a recurrence
Of fate dream, she moves in, we linger
Together over Dante, and when as not
Quite lovers we hurtle off into
The black light storm, I feel like I can't breathe;
By the end of April, wild desire's
Escaped the world, with its hundred eyes;
Ahead lies loving her, and the pale fever.
From Junkets on a Sad Planet: Scenes from the Life of John Keats by Tom Clark

Oh, Romantic love. Star-crossed lovers. Paolo and Francesca, Romeo and Juliet, Catherine and Heathcliff. The forbidden, the impossible. The harder the struggle to be together, the deeper in love they fall. I wonder how the story would unfold should they be successful in escaping their doom...

The crestfallen aftermath, the mundane divisions of labour. Who would do the dishes? Change the nappies? Somehow one can't imagine Heathcliff helping with the shopping, Romeo taking out the trash, Paolo donning an apron. Fates perhaps even worse than doom...

Post 10 (27-1) advanced to Sunday night's winner's bracket final against Garner Post 232.
Chance Shepard's (N.C. State/Ashley) 2-run single in the eighth inning capped Wilmington Post 10's 6-5 comeback victory over Garner Post 232 in the winner's bracket final of the American Legion state baseball tournament on Sunday night in Wilson.
Post 10 (28-1) is the only unbeaten team left in the field. They will take on Kernersville Post 36 at 5 p.m. Regardless of that outcome, Wilmington advanced to Tuesday's championship.
Christian Wolfe (UNCW/Ashley) had four hits to lead the Post 10 offensive attack. Post 10 trailed 5-1 after five innings, but scored three in the sixth to cut into the deficit.
Tyree Johnson (New Hanover) pitched 6 2/3 innings in relief to earn the victory. Bryan Sammons (Hoggard/Western Carolina) got the final three outs for the save.
Earlier Sunday, Shane Shepard (Ashley), Jack Faircloth (Hoggard/Florence-Darlington Tech) and Collin Dolan (New Hanover) each had 3 hits to lead Wilmington Post 10 to a 13-1 mercy-rule victory over Lincoln County Post 455 in the second round.
Joe O'Donnell (Hoggard/N.C. State) pitched five innings, allowing just a bunt single to earn the victory. He struck out six.
Post 10 jumped out to a 7-0 lead after two innings and tacked on five more runs in the fourth. The game was called after six and a half innings.

|Find and Share Smarter Stories on the Internet With Medium
|By JON M. CHANG
|Oct 29, 2013, 2:57 PM
Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr are great services for sharing things on the Internet that can be easily digested: cute animals, memes, cute animal memes... you get the idea. But they're not particularly good for sharing anything that can't be read in 30 seconds or less.
Medium, a new blogging platform created by former Twitter CEO Evan Williams, is aiming to make sharing articles of substance easier and make the Internet more well-read in the process.
"Our collective, casual, everyday shares demonstrate that millions of people have the power of a printing press at their fingertips," he said on Medium's About page. "Now that we've made sharing information virtually effortless, how do we increase the depth of understanding?"
Medium just ended its closed access period and is now inviting everyone to try it out. However, Medium confirmed with ABC News that users will need to sign in and post through their Twitter accounts.
Eric Robertson, an assistant professor of physical therapy at Regis University in Colorado, wanted to do just that. After spending a few days playing around with the website and commenting on other writers' articles, he made his first post about the health risks of CrossFit.
In addition to his teaching job, Robertson also writes on PT Think Tank, a blog devoted to health and physical therapy. "That blog is limited mostly to a physical therapist audience," he told ABC News. "Normally, I get 10,000 hits out of a post, but the CrossFit article got a million hits after only four days on Medium." Currently, his post is Medium's most shared story of the month.
Medium users that are interested in health and exercise can follow Robertson's account. But what if they're also interested in reading about unrelated topics, like music, video games or African art? They can visit writers who specialize in those topics and follow their Medium accounts. What they end up with is a digital library comprised of articles from their favorite authors.
Frank Swain, a science writer based in London who manages the Futures Exchange section on Medium, said that the site reflects the way people read and share stories today. Instead of a single organization, like a newspaper or magazine, distributing to a wide customer base, Medium does the opposite. "The consumer is king at the moment," he said. "Now, they can get content from a variety of different sources and have it personally tailored to their own interests on a single page."
Despite Medium's modern take of the longform article, it uses a minimalist interface. There are no plug-ins, widgets or even advertisements on the stories. Robertson's post only uses two photos in the entirety of his 1,600+ word post. That minimalism is one of the big draws for Robertson.
"As you write, Medium displays it exactly as you would see it on the webpage," he said, noting it's like a typewriter where what you type is exactly what you see. "The technology just fades into the background."
Both Swain and Robertson have said that the quality of discussion is different on Medium than it is on other websites. Comments don't appear at the bottom of the article, but to the article's right. Readers can comment on specific paragraphs, which Robertson leads to more productive conversations. "It's easy to isolate who's talking with whom and to follow the conversation, even over millions of views and hundreds of comments," he said.
In a way, Medium is both modernizing how we read things while simultaneously going back in time, before there were embedded videos or animated GIFs. "We think that words (still) matter, so we built a better system for sharing them," said Williams. "We love tweets as much as the next person (probably more), but sometimes we long for something meatier."
But don't worry about Medium getting too high-brow. A profanity-laden angry letter titled "Dear Guy Who Just Made My Burrito" was the second most shared article of the month.

Ok, this may seem like a dumb question, but I am doing a creative project for my AP computer science class, and I chose to do an RPG(original, huh? lol) anyway, it is text based and the way I have it is that you start off at a certain point on a grid (using 2d) array, and you go north south east and west.
Now, the problem is I need to know if there is a way to store different methods I guess, in the individual spaces in the 2d array. Is that even possible? I just want to be able to use this for each event that the player would encounter. Anyway, if this is not possible, can you tell me of a different way to do this?

AS THE WORLD TURNS' Michael Park has joined the cast of the upcoming Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."
Park will be playing Gooper in the limited-engagement production which begins performances on December 18 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Open night is set for January 17.
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES' Emily Bergl also joins previously announced stars Scarlett Johansson, Benjamin Walker, Debra Monk and Ciaran Hinds.
Set in the Mississippi Delta, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is the story of Brick (Walker) and his wife Maggie (Johansson), who are celebrating the 65th birthday of Brick's father, Big Daddy Pollitt (Hinds). Big Daddy is bothered by the rocky relationship between his beloved son Brick, an aging football hero who has taken up drinking, and his beautiful and feisty wife Maggie. As the hot summer evening unfolds, the veneer of Southern Gentility slips away as unpleasant truths emerge.
Gooper (Park) is Big Daddy's eldest son, and Mae's (Bergl) husband. He is a corporate lawyer in Memphis, and he is plotting to ensure that he and Mae inherit the plantation. He has already drawn up a plan for a trusteeship, with him in control, which he wants Big Mama to sign. Big Daddy dislikes Gooper, however, and although Gooper claims to love Big Daddy in a quiet way, he later admits he has always resented the fact that Big Daddy prefers Brick. He tries to undermine Brick whenever he can, bringing attention to his drinking, for example. Gooper claims that he has helped a lot in running the plantation but Big Mama says that all he did was take care of a few business details.
